Log Regression OscillatorThe Log Regression Oscillator transforms the logarithmic regression curves into an easy-to-interpret oscillator that displays potential cycle tops/bottoms.
🔶 USAGE
Calculating the logarithmic regression of long-term swings can help show future tops/bottoms. The relationship between previous swing points is calculated and projected further. The calculated levels are directly associated with swing points, which means every swing point will change the calculation. Importantly, all levels will be updated through all bars when a new swing is detected.
The "Log Regression Oscillator" transforms the calculated levels, where the top level is regarded as 100 and the bottom level as 0. The price values are displayed in between and calculated as a ratio between the top and bottom, resulting in a clear view of where the price is situated.
The main picture contains the Logarithmic Regression Alternative on the chart to compare with this published script.
Included are the levels 30 and 70. In the example of Bitcoin, previous cycles showed a similar pattern: the bullish parabolic was halfway when the oscillator passed the 30-level, and the top was very near when passing the 70-level.
🔹 Proactive
A "Proactive" option is included, which ensures immediate calculations of tentative unconfirmed swings.
Instead of waiting 300 bars for confirmation, the "Proactive" mode will display a gray-white dot (not confirmed swing) and add the unconfirmed Swing value to the calculation.
The above example shows that the "Calculated Values" of the potential future top and bottom are adjusted, including the provisional swing.
When the swing is confirmed, the calculations are again adjusted, showing a red dot (confirmed top swing) or a green dot (confirmed bottom swing).
🔹 Dashboard
When less than two swings are available (top/bottom), this will be shown in the dashboard.
The user can lower the "Threshold" value or switch to a lower timeframe.
🔹 Notes
Logarithmic regression is typically used to model situations where growth or decay accelerates rapidly at first and then slows over time, meaning some symbols/tickers will fit better than others.
Since the logarithmic regression depends on swing values, each new value will change the calculation. A well-fitted model could not fit anymore in the future.
Users have to check the validity of swings; for example, if the direction of swings is downwards, then the dataset is not fitted for logarithmic regression.
In the example above, the "Threshold" is lowered. However, the calculated levels are unreliable due to the swings, which do not fit the model well.
Here, the combination of downward bottom swings and price accelerates slower at first and faster recently, resulting in a non-fit for the logarithmic regression model.
Note the price value (white line) is bound to a limit of 150 (upwards) and -150 (down)
In short, logarithmic regression is best used when there are enough tops/bottoms, and all tops are around 100, and all bottoms around 0.
Also, note that this indicator has been developed for a daily (or higher) timeframe chart.
🔶 DETAILS
In mathematics, the dot product or scalar product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (arrays) and returns a single number, the sum of the products of the corresponding entries of the two sequences of numbers.
The usual way is to loop through both arrays and sum the products.
In this case, the two arrays are transformed into a matrix, wherein in one matrix, a single column is filled with the first array values, and in the second matrix, a single row is filled with the second array values.
After this, the function matrix.mult() returns a new matrix resulting from the product between the matrices m1 and m2.
Then, the matrix.eigenvalues() function transforms this matrix into an array, where the array.sum() function finally returns the sum of the array's elements, which is the dot product.
dot(x, y)=>
if x.size() > 1 and y.size() > 1
m1 = matrix.new()
m2 = matrix.new()
m1.add_col(m1.columns(), y)
m2.add_row(m2.rows (), x)
m1.mult (m2)
.eigenvalues()
.sum()
🔶 SETTINGS

Proactive: Tentative Swings are included with this setting enabled.
Style: Color Settings
Dashboard: Toggle, "Location" and "Text Size"
Logarithmic Regression AlternativeLogarithmic regression is typically used to model situations where growth or decay accelerates rapidly at first and then slows over time. Bitcoin is a good example.
𝑦 = 𝑎 + 𝑏 * ln(𝑥)
With this logarithmic regression (log reg) formula 𝑦 (price) is calculated with constants 𝑎 and 𝑏, where 𝑥 is the bar_index .
Instead of using the sum of log x/y values, together with the dot product of log x/y and the sum of the square of log x-values, to calculate a and b, I wanted to see if it was possible to calculate a and b differently.
In this script, the log reg is calculated with several different assumed a & b values, after which the log reg level is compared to each Swing. The log reg, where all swings on average are closest to the level, produces the final 𝑎 & 𝑏 values used to display the levels.
🔶 USAGE
The script shows the calculated logarithmic regression value from historical swings, provided there are enough swings, the price pattern fits the log reg model, and previous swings are close to the calculated Top/Bottom levels.
When the price approaches one of the calculated Top or Bottom levels, these levels could act as potential cycle Top or Bottom.
Since the logarithmic regression depends on swing values, each new value will change the calculation. A well-fitted model could not fit anymore in the future.
Swings are based on Weekly bars. A Top Swing, for example, with Swing setting 30, is the highest value in 60 weeks. Thirty bars at the left and right of the Swing will be lower than the Top Swing. This means that a confirmation is triggered 30 weeks after the Swing. The period will be automatically multiplied by 7 on the daily chart, where 30 becomes 210 bars.
Please note that the goal of this script is not to show swings rapidly; it is meant to show the potential next cycle's Top/Bottom levels.
🔹 Multiple Levels
The script includes the option to display 3 Top/Bottom levels, which uses different values for the swing calculations.
Top: 'high', 'maximum open/close' or 'close'
Bottom: 'low', 'minimum open/close' or 'close'
These levels can be adjusted up/down with a percentage.
Lastly, an "Average" is included for each set, which will only be visible when "AVG" is enabled, together with both Top and Bottom levels.
🔹 Notes
Users have to check the validity of swings; the above example only uses 1 Top Swing for its calculations, making the Top level unreliable.
Here, 1 of the Bottom Swings is pretty far from the bottom level, changing the swing settings can give a more reliable bottom level where all swings are close to that level.
Note the display was set at "Logarithmic", it can just as well be shown as "Regular"
In the example below, the price evolution does not fit the logarithmic regression model, where growth should accelerate rapidly at first and then slows over time.
Please note that this script can only be used on a daily timeframe or higher; using it at a lower timeframe will show a warning. Also, it doesn't work with bar-replay.
🔶 DETAILS
The code gathers data from historical swings. At the last bar, all swings are calculated with different a and b values. The a and b values which results in the smallest difference between all swings and Top/Bottom levels become the final a and b values.
The ranges of a and b are between -20.000 to +20.000, which means a and b will have the values -20.000, -19.999, -19.998, -19.997, -19.996, ... -> +20.000.
As you can imagine, the number of calculations is enormous. Therefore, the calculation is split into parts, first very roughly and then very fine.
The first calculations are done between -20 and +20 (-20, -19, -18, ...), resulting in, for example, 4.
The next set of calculations is performed only around the previous result, in this case between 3 (4-1) and 5 (4+1), resulting in, for example, 3.9. The next set goes even more in detail, for example, between 3.8 (3.9-0.1) and 4.0 (3.9 + 0.1), and so on.
1) -20 -> +20 , then loop with step 1 (result (example): 4 )
2) 4 - 1 -> 4 +1 , then loop with step 0.1 (result (example): 3.9 )
3) 3.9 - 0.1 -> 3.9 +0.1 , then loop with step 0.01 (result (example): 3.93 )
4) 3.93 - 0.01 -> 3.93 +0.01, then loop with step 0.001 (result (example): 3.928)
This ensures complicated calculations with less effort.
These calculations are done at the last bar, where the levels are displayed, which means you can see different results when a new swing is found.
Also, note that this indicator has been developed for a daily (or higher) timeframe chart.

Intellect_city - Halvings Bitcoin CycleWhat is halving?
The halving timer shows when the next Bitcoin halving will occur, as well as the dates of past halvings. This event occurs every 210,000 blocks, which is approximately every 4 years. Halving reduces the emission reward by half. The original Bitcoin reward was 50 BTC per block found.
Why is halving necessary?
Halving allows you to maintain an algorithmically specified emission level. Anyone can verify that no more than 21 million bitcoins can be issued using this algorithm. Moreover, everyone can see how much was issued earlier, at what speed the emission is happening now, and how many bitcoins remain to be mined in the future. Even a sharp increase or decrease in mining capacity will not significantly affect this process. In this case, during the next difficulty recalculation, which occurs every 2014 blocks, the mining difficulty will be recalculated so that blocks are still found approximately once every ten minutes.
How does halving work in Bitcoin blocks?
The miner who collects the block adds a so-called coinbase transaction. This transaction has no entry, only exit with the receipt of emission coins to your address. If the miner's block wins, then the entire network will consider these coins to have been obtained through legitimate means. The maximum reward size is determined by the algorithm; the miner can specify the maximum reward size for the current period or less. If he puts the reward higher than possible, the network will reject such a block and the miner will not receive anything. After each halving, miners have to halve the reward they assign to themselves, otherwise their blocks will be rejected and will not make it to the main branch of the blockchain.
The impact of halving on the price of Bitcoin
It is believed that with constant demand, a halving of supply should double the value of the asset. In practice, the market knows when the halving will occur and prepares for this event in advance. Typically, the Bitcoin rate begins to rise about six months before the halving, and during the halving itself it does not change much. On average for past periods, the upper peak of the rate can be observed more than a year after the halving. It is almost impossible to predict future periods because, in addition to the reduction in emissions, many other factors influence the exchange rate. For example, major hacks or bankruptcies of crypto companies, the situation on the stock market, manipulation of “whales,” or changes in legislative regulation.

TASC 2025.06 Cybernetic Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Cybernetic Oscillator introduced by John F. Ehlers in his article "The Cybernetic Oscillator For More Flexibility, Making A Better Oscillator" from the June 2025 edition of the TASC Traders' Tips . It cascades two-pole highpass and lowpass filters, then scales the result by its root mean square (RMS) to create a flexible normalized oscillator that responds to a customizable frequency range for different trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Oscillators are indicators widely used by technical traders. These indicators swing above and below a center value, emphasizing cyclic movements within a frequency range. In his article, Ehlers explains that all oscillators share a common characteristic: their calculations involve computing differences . The reliance on differences is what causes these indicators to oscillate about a central point.
The difference between two data points in a series acts as a highpass filter — it allows high frequencies (short wavelengths) to pass through while significantly attenuating low frequencies (long wavelengths). Ehlers demonstrates that a simple difference calculation attenuates lower-frequency cycles at a rate of 6 dB per octave. However, the difference also significantly amplifies cycles near the shortest observable wavelength, making the result appear noisier than the original series. To mitigate the effects of noise in a differenced series, oscillators typically smooth the series with a lowpass filter, such as a moving average.
Ehlers highlights an underlying issue with smoothing differenced data to create oscillators. He postulates that market data statistically follows a pink spectrum , where the amplitudes of cyclic components in the data are approximately directly proportional to the underlying periods. Specifically, he suggests that cyclic amplitude increases by 6 dB per octave of wavelength.
Because some conventional oscillators, such as RSI, use differencing calculations that attenuate cycles by only 6 dB per octave, and market cycles increase in amplitude by 6 dB per octave, such calculations do not have a tangible net effect on larger wavelengths in the analyzed data. The influence of larger wavelengths can be especially problematic when using these oscillators for mean reversion or swing signals. For instance, an expected reversion to the mean might be erroneous because oscillator's mean might significantly deviate from its center over time.
To address the issues with conventional oscillator responses, Ehlers created a new indicator dubbed the Cybernetic Oscillator. It uses a simple combination of highpass and lowpass filters to emphasize a specific range of frequencies in the market data, then normalizes the result based on RMS. The process is as follows:
Apply a two-pole highpass filter to the data. This filter's critical period defines the longest wavelength in the oscillator's passband.
Apply a two-pole SuperSmoother (lowpass filter) to the highpass-filtered data. This filter's critical period defines the shortest wavelength in the passband.
Scale the resulting waveform by its RMS. If the filtered waveform follows a normal distribution, the scaled result represents amplitude in standard deviations.
The oscillator's two-pole filters attenuate cycles outside the desired frequency range by 12 dB per octave. This rate outweighs the apparent rate of amplitude increase for successively longer market cycles (6 dB per octave). Therefore, the Cybernetic Oscillator provides a more robust isolation of cyclic content than conventional oscillators. Best of all, traders can set the periods of the highpass and lowpass filters separately, enabling fine-tuning of the frequency range for different trading styles.
█ USAGE
The "Highpass period" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab specifies the longest wavelength in the oscillator's passband, and the "Lowpass period" input defines the shortest wavelength. The oscillator becomes more responsive to rapid movements with a smaller lowpass period. Conversely, it becomes more sensitive to trends with a larger highpass period. Ehlers recommends setting the smallest period to a value above 8 to avoid aliasing. The highpass period must not be smaller than the lowpass period. Otherwise, it causes a runtime error.
The "RMS length" input determines the number of bars in the RMS calculation that the indicator uses to normalize the filtered result.
This indicator also features two distinct display styles, which users can toggle with the "Display style" input. With the "Trend" style enabled, the indicator plots the oscillator with one of two colors based on whether its value is above or below zero. With the "Threshold" style enabled, it plots the oscillator as a gray line and highlights overbought and oversold areas based on the user-specified threshold.
Below, we show two instances of the script with different settings on an equities chart. The first uses the "Threshold" style with default settings to pass cycles between 20 and 30 bars for mean reversion signals. The second uses a larger highpass period of 250 bars and the "Trend" style to visualize trends based on cycles spanning less than one year:
Short Sellingell signal when RSI < 40, MACD crosses zero or signal line downward in negative zone, close below 50 EMA, candle bearish.
Strong sell signal confirmed on 5-minute higher timeframe with same conditions.
Square off half/full signals as defined.
Target lines drawn bold based on previous swing lows and extended as described.
Blue candle color when RSI below 30.
One sell and one full square off per cycle, blocking repeated sells until full square off.
Interest Rates CBs % Cutting📌 Description
This indicator tracks how many central banks around the world are currently cutting their policy rates. It aggregates policy rate changes from more than 30 central banks (including the Federal Reserve, ECB, BoE, BoJ, PBoC, Banco Central do Brasil, and many others) and normalizes the count to show the global percentage of banks easing monetary policy at any given time.
The calculation is simple:
A rate cut is counted as +1
A rate hike is counted as -1
No change = 0
The results are normalized by the number of banks with available data
The output is a smoothed line showing the share of central banks currently cutting rates. This helps highlight shifts in the global monetary cycle, which can be useful for macro-oriented analysis, risk-on/off regimes, or as a background filter for other strategies.
⚖️ Attribution
This script is inspired by and based on the “Global Central Banks Cutting Rates” indicator developed by Julien Bittel (MIT / RealVision). This version expands the coverage to a broader set of central banks and provides additional flexibility for signal smoothing.

BTC Power Law Valuation BandsBTC Power Law Rainbow
A long-term valuation framework for Bitcoin based on Power Law growth — designed to help identify macro accumulation and distribution zones, aligned with long-term investor behavior.
🔍 What Is a Power Law?
A Power Law is a mathematical relationship where one quantity varies as a power of another. In this model:
Price ≈ a × (Time)^b
It captures the non-linear, exponentially slowing growth of Bitcoin over time. Rather than using linear or cyclical models, this approach aligns with how complex systems, such as networks or monetary adoption curves, often grow — rapidly at first, and then more slowly, but persistently.
🧠 Why Power Law for BTC?
Bitcoin:
Has finite supply and increasing adoption.
Operates as a monetary network , where Metcalfe’s Law and power laws naturally emerge.
Exhibits exponential growth over logarithmic time when viewed on a log-log chart .
This makes it uniquely well-suited for power law modeling.
🌈 How to Use the Valuation Bands
The central white line represents the modeled fair value according to the power law.
Colored bands represent deviations from the model in logarithmic space, acting as macro zones:
🔵 Lower Bands: Deep value / Accumulation zones.
🟡 Mid Bands: Fair value.
🔴 Upper Bands: Euphoria / Risk of macro tops.
📐 Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Alignment
Accumulation: Occurs when price consolidates near lower bands — often aligning with institutional positioning.
Markup: As price re-enters or ascends the bands, we often see breakout behavior and trend expansion.
Distribution: When price extends above upper bands, potential for exit liquidity creation and distribution events.
Reversion: Historically, price mean-reverts toward the model — rarely staying outside the bands for long.
This makes the model useful for:
Cycle timing
Long-term DCA strategy zones
Identifying value dislocations
Filtering short-term noise
⚠️ Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and informational purposes only . It is not financial advice. The power law model is a non-predictive, mathematical framework and does not guarantee future price movements .
Always use additional tools, risk management, and your own judgment before making trading or investment decisions.
MACD BILE
📊 How to Interpret
Green histogram → strong bullish momentum, favoring buy/long setups.
Red histogram → strong bearish momentum, favoring sell/short setups.
MACD crossing above Signal → buy signal.
MACD crossing below Signal → sell signal.
Because the cycle is adaptive, the indicator becomes more responsive in volatile markets and more stable during sideways conditions, reducing noise compared to the standard fixed-period MACD.
🔑 Key Advantages over Standard MACD
Adaptive to market conditions → no need to manually choose fixed periods.
Reduces false signals during sideways or ranging markets.
Provides clearer trend detection, especially in highly volatile assets such as crypto, forex, and stocks.

z-scores update with each new close print and with each new bar. Each new bar augments the mean and std.deviation for the N bars considered. The old Nth bar falls away from consideration with each new historical bar.
The indicator allows two other options for X: RSI or Moving Average.
NOTE: While trading use the "price" option only.
The other two options are provided for visualisation of RSI and Moving Average as z-score curves.
Use z-scores to identify tops and bottoms in the future as well as intermediate intersections through which a z-score will pass through with each new close and each new bar.
Draw lines from peaks and troughs in the past through intermediate peaks and troughs to identify projected intersections in the future. The most likely intersections are those that are formed from a line that comes from a peak in the past and another line that comes from a trough in the past. Try getting at least two lines from historical peaks and two lines from historical troughs to pass through a future intersection.
Compute the target intersection price in the future by clicking on the z-score indicator header to see a drag-able horizontal line to drag over the intersection. The target price is the last value displayed in the indicator's status bar after the closing price.
When the indicator header is clicked, a white horizontal drag-able line will appear to allow dragging the line over an intersection that has been drawn on the indicator for a future z-score projection and the associated future closing price.
With each new bar that appears, it is necessary to repeat the procedure of clicking the z-score indicator header to be able to drag the drag-able horizontal line to see the new target price for the selected intersection. The projected price will be different from the current close price providing a price arbitrage in time.
New intermediate peaks and troughs that appear require new lines be drawn from the past through the new intermediate peak to find a new intersection in the future and a new projected price. Since z-score curves are sort of cyclical in nature, it is possible to see where one has to locate a future intersection by drawing lines from past peaks and troughs.
Do not get fixated on any one projected price as the market decides which projected price will be realised. All prospective targets should be manually updated with each new bar.
When the z-score plot moves outside a channel comprised of lines that are drawn from the past, be ready to adjust to new market conditions.
z-score plots that move above the zero line indicate price action that is either rising or ranging. Similarly, z-score plots that move below the zero line indicate price action that is either falling or ranging. Be ready to adjust to new market conditions when z-scores move back and forth across the zero line.
A bar with highest absolute z-score for a cycle screams "reversal approaching" and is followed by a bar with a lower absolute z-score where close price tops and bottoms are realised. This can occur either on the next bar or a few bars later.
The indicator also displays the required N for a Normal(0,1) distribution that can be set for finer granularity for the z-score curve.This works with the Confidence Interval (CI) z-score setting. The default z-score is 1.96 for 95% CI.
Common Confidence Interval z-scores to find N for Normal(0,1) with a Margin of Error (MOE) of 1:
70% 1.036
75% 1.150
80% 1.282
85% 1.440
90% 1.645
95% 1.960
98% 2.326
99% 2.576
99.5% 2.807
99.9% 3.291
99.99% 3.891
99.999% 4.417

Added a feature to display price projection labels at z-score levels 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, 3.
This provides a range for prices available at the current time to help decide whether it is worth entering a trade. If the range of prices from say z=|2| to z=|1| is too narrow, then a trade at the current time may not be worth the risk.
Added plot for z-score moving average.
28-Jun-2025
Added Settings option for # of Std.Deviation level Price Labels to display. The default is 3. Min is 2. Max is 6.
This feature allows likelihood assessment for Fibonacci price projections from higher time frames at lower time frames. A Fibonacci price projection that falls outside |3.x| Std.Deviations is not likely.
Added Settings option for Chart Bar Count and Target Label Offset to allow placement of price labels for the standard z-score levels to the right of the window so that these are still visible in the window.
Target Label Offset allows adjustment of placement of Target Price Label in cases when the Target Price Label is either obscured by the price labels for the standard z-score levels or is too far right to be visible in the window.
9-Jul-2025
z-score 1.142 updates:
Displays in the status line before the close price the range for the selected Std. Deviation levels specified in Settings and |z-zMa|.
When |z-zMa| > |avg(z-zMa)| and zMa rising, |z-zMa| and zMa displays in aqua.
When |z-zMa| > |avg(z-zMa)| and zMa falling, |z-zMa| and zMa displays in red.
When |z-zMa| <= |avg(z-zMa)|, z and zMa display in gray.
z usually crosses over zMa when zMa is gray but not always. So if cross-over occurs when zMa is not gray, it implies a strong move in progress.
Practice makes perfect.

Omori Law Recovery PhasesWhat is the Omori Law?
Originally a seismological model, the Omori Law describes how earthquake aftershocks decay over time. It follows a power law relationship: the frequency of aftershocks decreases roughly proportionally to 1/(t+c)^p, where:
t = time since the main shock
c = time offset constant
p = power law exponent (typically around 1.0)
Application to the markets
Financial markets experience "aftershocks" similar to earthquakes:
Market Crashes as Main Shocks: Major market declines (crashes) represent the initial shock event.
Volatility Decay: After a crash, market volatility typically declines following a power law pattern rather than a linear or exponential one.
Behavioral Components: The decay pattern reflects collective market psychology - initial panic gives way to uncertainty, then stabilization, and finally normalization.
The Four Recovery Phases
The Omori decay pattern in markets can be divided into distinct phases:
Acute Phase: Immediately after the crash, characterized by extreme volatility, panic selling, and sharp reversals. Trading is hazardous.
Reaction Phase: Volatility begins decreasing, but markets test previous levels. False rallies and retests of lows are common.
Repair Phase: Structure returns to the market. Volatility approaches normal levels, and traditional technical analysis becomes more reliable.
Recovery Phase: The final stage where market behavior normalizes completely. The impact of the original shock has fully decayed.
Why It Matters for Traders
Understanding where the market stands in this recovery cycle provides valuable context:
Risk Management: Adjust position sizing based on the current phase
Strategy Selection: Different strategies work in different phases
Psychological Preparation: Know what to expect based on the phase
Time Horizon Guidance: Each phase suggests appropriate time frames for trading
QG-Particle OscillatorThis is an advanced oscillator based on auxiliary particle filter. It separates signal from noise and uses smoothing algorithm similar to JMA.
The main oscillator line is a smoothed and detrended version of the price series similar to detrended oscillator line. The purple/aqua lines are a prediction based on an additional adaptive smoothing technique and current volatility.
The prediction is smoothed twice and is supposed to represent the true signal without any noise, thus the prediction should always be less than the raw detrend line. However, certain volatile conditions will cause the prediction to cross above/below the detrend line. When this happens the likelihood of a reversal or pullback is extremely high.
There are 3 dots on the zero line- Red, Green and Yellow. The yellow dots warn of an eminent pullback 2 bars before it actually occurs. This is a non-repainting indicator.
One can also use this indicator to trade CCI signals, similar to zero line rejection in existing trend.
The indicator has 2 settings- Period and Phase. The phase represents cycle phase and Period represents oscillator period.

Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals

Bitcoin as % Global M2 signalThis script provides signal system:
Buy signal: each time the YoY of the Global M2 rises more than 2.5% while the distance between the bitcoin price as a percentage of the Global M2 is below its yearly SMA.
Sell signal: the distance between the bitcoin price as a percentage of the Global M2 and its yearly SMA is > 0.7
This is a very simple system, but it seems to work pretty well to ride the bitcoin price cycle wave.
The parameters are hard coded but they can be easily changed to test different levels for both the buy and sell signals.
ONE RING 8 MA Bands with RaysCycle analysis tool ...
MAs: Eight moving averages (MA1–MA8) with customizable lengths, types (RMA, WMA, EMA, SMA), and offsets
Bands: Upper/lower bands for each MA, calculated based on final_pctX (Percentage mode) or final_ptsX (Points mode), scaled by multiplier
Rays: Forward-projected lines for bands, with customizable start points, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and lengths (up to 500 bars)
Band Choices
Manual: Uses individual inputs for band offsets
Uniform: Sets all offsets to base_pct (e.g., 0.1%) or base_pts (e.g., 0.1 points)
Linear: Scales linearly (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 3 ..., base_pct * 8)
Exponential: Scales exponentially (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 2, base_pct * 4, base_pct * 8 ..., base_pct * 128)
ATR-Based: Offsets are derived from the Average True Range (ATR), scaled by a linear factor. Dynamic bands that adapt to market conditions, useful for breakout or mean-reversion strategies. (final_pct1 = base_pct * atr, final_pct2 = base_pct * atr * 2, ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * atr * 8)
Geometric: Offsets follow a geometric progression (e.g., base_pct * r^0, base_pct * r^1, base_pct * r^2, ..., where r is a ratio like 1.5) This is less aggressive than Exponential (which uses powers of 2) and provides a smoother progression.
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, r = 1.5, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 = 0.15%, final_pct3 = 0.225%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 1.71%
Harmonic: Offsets are based on harmonic flavored ratios. final_pctX = base_pct * X / (9 - X), final_ptsX = base_pts * X / (9 - X) for X = 1 to 8 This creates a harmonic-like progression where offsets increase non-linearly, ensuring MA8 bands are wider than MA1 bands, and avoids duplicating the Linear choice above.
Ex. offsets for base_pct = 0.1: MA1: ±0.0125% (0.1 * 1/8), MA2: ±0.0286% (0.1 * 2/7), MA3: ±0.05% (0.1 * 3/6), MA4: ±0.08% (0.1 * 4/5), MA5: ±0.125% (0.1 * 5/4), MA6: ±0.2% (0.1 * 6/3), MA7: ±0.35% (0.1 * 7/2), MA8: ±0.8% (0.1 * 8/1)
Square Root: Offsets grow with the square root of the band index (e.g., base_pct * sqrt(1), base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., base_pct * sqrt(8)). This creates a gradual widening, less aggressive than Linear or Exponential. Set final_pct1 = base_pct * sqrt(1), final_pct2 = base_pct * sqrt(2), ..., final_pct8 = base_pct * sqrt(8).
Example: If base_pct = 0.1, then final_pct1 = 0.1%, final_pct2 ≈ 0.141%, final_pct3 ≈ 0.173%, ..., final_pct8 ≈ 0.283%.
Fibonacci: Uses Fibonacci ratios (e.g., base_pct * 1, base_pct * 1.618, base_pct * 2.618
Percentage vs. Points Toggle:
In Percentage mode, bands are calculated as ma * (1 ± (final_pct / 100) * multiplier)
In Points mode, bands are calculated as ma ± final_pts * multiplier, where final_pts is in price units.
Threshold Setting for Slope:
Threshold setting for determining when the slope would be significant enough to call it a change in direction. Can check efficiency by setting MA1 to color on slope temporarily
Arrow table: Shows slope direction of 8 MAs using an Up or Down triangle, or shows Flat condition if no triangle.
Price Position Percentile (PPP)
Price Position Percentile (PPP)
A statistical analysis tool that dynamically measures where current price stands within its historical distribution. Unlike traditional oscillators, PPP adapts to market conditions by calculating percentile ranks, creating a self-adjusting framework for identifying extremes.
How It Works
This indicator analyzes the last 200 price bars (customizable) and calculates the percentile rank of the current price within this distribution. For example, if the current price is at the 80th percentile, it means the price is higher than 80% of all prices in the lookback period.
The indicator creates five dynamic zones based on percentile thresholds:
Extremely Low Zone (<5%) : Prices in the lowest 5% of the distribution, indicating potential oversold conditions.
Low Zone (5-25%) : Accumulation zone where prices are historically low but not extreme.
Neutral Zone (25-75%) : Fair value zone representing the middle 50% of the price distribution.
High Zone (75-95%) : Distribution zone where prices are historically high but not extreme.
Extremely High Zone (>95%) : Prices in the highest 5% of the distribution, suggesting potential bubble conditions.
Mathematical Foundation
Unlike fixed-threshold indicators, PPP uses a non-parametric approach:
// Core percentile calculation
percentile = (count_of_prices_below_current / total_prices) * 100
// Threshold calculation using built-in function
p_extremely_low = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(source, lookback, 5)
p_low = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(source, lookback, 25)
p_neutral_high = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(source, lookback, 75)
p_extremely_high = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(source, lookback, 95)
Key Features
Dynamic Adaptation : All zones adjust automatically as price distribution changes
Statistical Robustness : Works on any timeframe and any market, including highly volatile cryptocurrencies
Visual Clarity : Color-coded zones provide immediate visual context
Non-parametric Analysis : Makes no assumptions about price distribution shape
Historical Context : Shows how zones evolved over time, revealing market regime changes
Practical Applications
PPP provides objective statistical context for price action, helping traders make more informed decisions based on historical price distribution rather than arbitrary levels.
Value Investment : Identify statistically significant low prices for potential entry points
Risk Management : Recognize when prices reach historical extremes for profit taking
Cycle Analysis : Observe how percentile zones expand and contract during different market phases
Market Regime Detection : Identify transitions between accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown phases
Usage Guidelines
This indicator is particularly effective when:
- Used across multiple timeframes for confirmation
- Combined with volume analysis for validation of extremes
- Applied in conjunction with trend identification tools
- Monitored for divergences between price action and percentile ranking
