NIFTY Weekly Option Seller DirectionalHere’s a straight description you can paste into the TradingView “Description” box and tweak if needed:
---
### NIFTY Weekly Option Seller – Regime + Score + Management (Single TF)
This indicator is built for **weekly option sellers** (primarily NIFTY) who want a **structured regime + scoring framework** to decide:
* Whether to trade **Iron Condor (IC)**, **Put Credit Spread (PCS)** or **Call Credit Spread (CCS)**
* How strong that regime is on the current timeframe (score 0–5)
* When to **DEFEND** existing positions and when to **HARVEST** profits
> **Note:** This is a **single timeframe** tool. The original system uses it on **4H and 1D separately**, then combines scores manually (e.g., using `min(4H, 1D)` for conviction and lot sizing).
---
## Core logic
The script classifies the market into 3 regimes:
* **IC (Iron Condor)** – range/mean-reversion conditions
* **PCS (Put Credit Spread)** – bullish/trend-up conditions
* **CCS (Call Credit Spread)** – bearish/trend-down conditions
For each regime, it builds a **0–5 score** using:
* **EMA stack (8/13/34)** – trend structure
* **ADX (custom DMI-based)** – trend strength vs range
* **Previous-day CPR** – in CPR vs break above/below
* **VWAP (session)** – near/far value
* **Camarilla H3/L3** – for IC context
* **RSI (14)** – used as a **brake**, not a primary signal
* **Daily trend / Daily ADX** – used as **hard gates**, not double-counted as extra points
Then:
* Scores for PCS / CCS / IC are **cross-penalised** (they pull each other down if conflicting)
* Final scores are **smoothed** (current + previous bar) to avoid jumpy signals
The **background colour** shows the current regime and conviction:
* Blue = IC
* Green = PCS
* Red = CCS
* Stronger tint = higher regime score
---
## Scoring details (per timeframe)
**PCS (uptrend, bullish credit spreads)**
* +2 if EMA(8) > EMA(13) > EMA(34)
* +1 if ADX > ADX_TREND
* +1 if close > CPR High
* +1 if close > VWAP
* RSI brake:
* If RSI < 50 → PCS capped at 2
* If RSI > 75 → PCS capped at 3
* Daily gating:
* If daily EMA stack is **not** uptrend → PCS capped at 2
**CCS (downtrend, bearish credit spreads)**
* +2 if EMA(8) < EMA(13) < EMA(34)
* +1 if ADX > ADX_TREND
* +1 if close < CPR Low
* +1 if close < VWAP
* RSI brake:
* If RSI > 50 → CCS capped at 2
* If RSI < 25 → CCS capped at 3
* Daily gating:
* If daily EMA stack is **not** downtrend → CCS capped at 2
**IC (range / mean-reversion)**
* +2 if ADX < ADX_RANGE (low trend)
* +1 if close inside CPR
* +1 if near VWAP
* +0.5 if inside Camarilla H3–L3
* +1 if daily ADX < ADX_RANGE (daily also range-like)
* +0.5 if RSI between 45 and 55 (classic balance zone)
* Daily gating:
* If daily ADX ≥ ADX_TREND → IC capped at 2 (no “strong IC” in strong trends)
**Cross-penalty & smoothing**
* Each regime’s raw score is reduced by **0.5 × max(other two scores)**
* Final IC / PCS / CCS scores are then **smoothed** with previous bar
* Scores are always clipped to ** **
---
## Regime selection
* If one regime has the highest score → that regime is selected.
* If there is a tie or close scores:
* When ADX is high, trend regimes (PCS/CCS) are preferred in the direction of the EMA stack.
* When ADX is low, IC is preferred.
The selected regime’s score is used for:
* Background colour intensity
* Minimum score gate for alerts
* Display in the info panel
---
## DEFEND / HARVEST / REGIME alerts
The script also defines **management signals** using ATR-based buffers and Camarilla breaks:
* **DEFEND**
* Price moving too close to short strikes (PCS/CCS/IC) relative to ATR, or
* Trend breaks through Camarilla with ADX strong
→ Suggests rolling away / widening / converting to reduce risk.
* **HARVEST**
* Price has moved far enough from your short strikes (in ATR multiples) and market is still range-compatible
→ Suggests booking profits / rolling closer / reducing risk.
* **REGIME CHANGED**
* Regime flips (IC ↔ PCS/CCS) with cooldown and minimum score gate
→ Suggests switching playbook (range vs trend) for new entries.
Each of these has a plotshape label plus an `alertcondition()` for TradingView alerts.
---
## UI / Panel
The **top-right panel** (optional) shows:
* Strategy + final regime score (IC / PCS / CCS, x/5)
* ADX / RSI values
* CPR status (Narrow / Normal / Wide + %)
* EMA Stack (Up / Down / Mixed) and EMA tightness
* VWAP proximity (Near / Away)
* Final **IC / PCS / CCS** scores (for this timeframe)
* H3/L3, H4/L4, CPR Low/High and VWAP levels (rounded)
These values are meant to be **read quickly at the decision time** (e.g. near the close of the 4H bar or daily bar).
---
## Intended workflow
1. Run the script on **4H** and **1D** charts separately.
2. For each timeframe, read the panel’s **IC / PCS / CCS scores** and regime.
3. Decide:
* Final regime (IC vs PCS vs CCS)
* Combined score (e.g. `AlignScore = min(Score_4H, Score_1D)`)
4. Map that combined score to **your own lot-size buckets** and trade rules.
5. During the life of the position, use **DEFEND / HARVEST / REGIME** alerts to adjust.
The script does **not** auto-calculate lot size or P&L. It focuses on giving a structured, consistent **market regime + strength + levels + management** layer for weekly option selling.

Confluence Engine [BullByte]CONFLUENCE ENGINE
Multi-Factor Technical Analysis Framework
OVERVIEW
Confluence Engine is a multi-dimensional technical analysis framework that evaluates market conditions across five distinct analytical pillars simultaneously. Rather than relying on a single indicator or signal source, this tool synthesizes Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern analysis into a unified scoring system that identifies high-probability trading opportunities when multiple technical factors align.
The core philosophy behind this indicator stems from a fundamental observation: isolated signals frequently fail, but when multiple independent analytical methods agree, the probability of a successful trade increases substantially. This indicator was developed after extensive research into why traders often receive conflicting signals from different indicators on their charts, leading to analysis paralysis and poor decision-making.
THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
The Problem:
Most traders use multiple indicators independently, often receiving contradictory signals. One indicator says "buy" while another says "wait." This creates confusion and leads to missed opportunities, premature entries based on incomplete analysis, difficulty quantifying how strong a setup actually is, and inconsistent decision-making across different market conditions.
The Solution:
Confluence Engine addresses this by providing a single, unified score (0-100) that represents the aggregate strength of a trading setup. Instead of mentally weighing five different indicators, traders receive a clear numerical score indicating setup quality, visual tier classification (ULTRA, HIGH, STANDARD), specific identification of which factors are strong or weak, and actionable guidance on what to watch for next.
THE FIVE ANALYTICAL DIMENSIONS
Each dimension was selected because it measures a fundamentally different aspect of market behavior:
STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Evaluates price position relative to key levels and recent swing points. Markets respect structure - previous highs, lows, and areas where price reversed. This dimension identifies when price interacts with these critical levels and measures the quality of that interaction.
What it detects: Price approaching or sweeping swing highs/lows, reclaim patterns after false breakouts, EMA alignment and trend structure, exhaustion after extended moves.
MOMENTUM ANALYSIS
Measures the underlying strength and direction of price movement. Strong moves are characterized by momentum preceding price. This dimension evaluates whether momentum supports the current price direction.
What it detects: Oversold/overbought conditions with reversal potential, momentum divergence states, directional movement strength (ADX-based), momentum shifts before price confirmation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
Volume validates price movement. Significant moves require participation. This dimension measures current volume relative to recent averages to determine if market participants are genuinely committing to the move.
What it detects: Volume spikes confirming price action, below-average volume warning of weak moves, climactic volume at potential reversals, volume confirmation of rejection patterns.
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
Markets alternate between compression (low volatility) and expansion (high volatility). This dimension identifies these phases and recognizes when compression is likely to resolve into directional movement.
What it detects: Volatility squeeze conditions (Bollinger inside Keltner), squeeze release direction, ATR expansion indicating breakout potential, compression duration for timing breakouts.
PATTERN ANALYSIS
Candlestick patterns reflect the battle between buyers and sellers within each bar. This dimension evaluates the quality and context of reversal and continuation patterns.
What it detects: Engulfing patterns with quality scoring, hammer and shooting star formations, rejection wicks indicating trapped traders, pattern confluence with other factors.
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR ORIGINAL Not a mashup
This is NOT a mashup of indicators displayed together. The Confluence Engine represents an integrated analytical framework with the following unique characteristics:
Unified Scoring System: All five dimensions feed into a proprietary scoring algorithm that weights and combines their signals. The output is a single 0-100 score, not five separate readings.
Multi-Factor Gate: Beyond just scoring, the system requires a minimum number of factors to be "active" (meeting their individual thresholds) before allowing signals. This prevents signals based on one extremely strong factor masking four weak ones.
Regime-Aware Adjustments: The engine detects the current market regime (trending, ranging, volatile, weak) and automatically adjusts factor weights and score multipliers. A structure signal means something different in a trending market versus a ranging market.
Adaptive Risk Management: Take-profit and stop-loss levels are not static. They adapt based on current volatility, market regime, and signal quality - providing tighter targets in low-volatility environments and wider targets when volatility expands.
Liquidity Sweep Detection: A distinctive feature that identifies when price has swept beyond a swing high/low and then reclaimed back inside. This pattern often indicates stop hunts followed by reversals.
Signal Quality Tiers: Rather than just "signal" or "no signal," the engine classifies setups into tiers. ULTRA (80+) represents highest probability setups with all factors aligned. HIGH (70-79) represents strong setups with multiple factors confirming. STANDARD meets minimum threshold for acceptable setups.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Each of the five factors generates a raw score from 0-100 based on current market conditions. These raw scores are then weighted according to the selected trading style (Balanced, Scalper, Swing, Range, Trend), adjusted based on current market regime detection, modified by higher timeframe alignment (if enabled), bonused when multiple factors exceed their activation thresholds simultaneously, and multiplied by session factors (if session filter is enabled).
The result is a final Bull Score and Bear Score, each ranging from 0-100, representing the current strength of long and short setups respectively.
Signal Generation Requirements:
- Score meets minimum threshold (configurable: 60-95)
- Required number of factors are "active" (default: 3 of 5)
- Market regime is not blocked (if blocking enabled)
- Higher timeframe alignment passes (if required)
- Cooldown period from last signal has elapsed
UNDERSTANDING THE DASHBOARDS
Main Dashboard (Top Right)
The main dashboard displays real-time scores and market context:
LONG Score - Current bullish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
SHORT Score - Current bearish setup strength (0-100) with quality tier displayed
Regime - Current market state showing TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, or WEAK
HTF - Higher timeframe alignment showing BULL, BEAR, NEUT, or OFF
Squeeze - Volatility state showing SQZ (in squeeze), REL+ (bullish release), REL- (bearish release), or NORM
Gate - Factor count versus requirement, for example 4/3 means 4 factors active with 3 required
Sweep L/S - Liquidity sweep status for long and short setups
ATR% - Current ATR as percentile of recent range indicating relative volatility
Vol - Current volume relative to 20-period average
R:R - Current risk-reward ratio based on adaptive TP/SL calculations
Trade - Active trade status and unrealized profit/loss percentage
Analysis Dashboard (Bottom Left)
The analysis dashboard provides actionable guidance:
Signal Readiness - Visual progress bars showing how close each direction is to generating a signal
Blocking Factors - Identifies which specific factor is weakest and preventing signals
Recommended Action - Context-aware guidance such as WATCH, WAIT, MANAGE, or SCAN
Watch For - Specific events to monitor for setup completion
Opportunity Level - Overall market opportunity rating from EXCELLENT to VERY POOR
Timing - Contextual timing guidance based on current conditions
Status Bar (Bottom Center)
Compact view displaying Long Score, Gate Status, Current State, Gate Status, and Short Score in a single row for quick reference.
Dashboard Size - Auto Mode Explained
When Dashboard Size is set to "Auto", the indicator intelligently adjusts text size based on your current chart timeframe to optimize readability:
Auto-Sizing Logic:
1-Minute to 5-Minute Charts → Tiny
- Lower timeframes show more bars on screen
- Tiny text prevents dashboard from obscuring price action
- Recommended for scalping and high-frequency monitoring
15-Minute Charts → Small
- Balanced size for intraday trading
- Readable without being intrusive
1-Hour to Daily Charts → Normal
- Standard size for most trading styles
- Optimal readability for swing trading
Weekly and Monthly Charts → Large
- Larger text for position trading
- Fewer bars visible so space is available
Manual Override:
You can override auto-sizing for any dashboard individually:
- Dashboard Size (All): Sets master size applied to all dashboards
- Main Dashboard Size: Override for top-right dashboard specifically
- Analysis Panel Size: Override for bottom-left panel specifically
- Status Bar Size: Override for bottom-center bar specifically
Example Use Case:
Trading on 5m chart (default = Tiny) but you have good eyesight and large monitor:
- Set "Dashboard Size (All)" to "Small" or "Normal" for better readability
- Individual dashboards will use your override instead of auto-sizing
Recommendation:
Start with Auto mode and only adjust if dashboards are too large or too small for your monitor/eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING SIGNAL LABELS
When a signal generates, a label appears with trade information:
Minimal Style Example:
LONG 85
Shows tier icon, direction, and score only.
Detailed Style Example:
ULTRA LONG
Score: 85
Entry: 50250.50
TP1: 50650.25
TP2: 51500.75
SL: 49850.25
R:R 1:2.5
Regime: TREND UP
HTF: BULL
Tier Icons Explained:
indicates ULTRA quality with score 80 or higher
indicates HIGH quality with score between 70 and 79
indicates STANDARD quality with score meeting minimum threshold
UNDERSTANDING TRADE ZONES
When a signal generates, visual elements appear on the chart:
Entry Line (Purple) marks the entry price level
TP1 Line (Blue Dashed) marks the first take-profit target
TP2 Line (Cyan Dashed) marks the final take-profit target
SL Line (Orange Dotted) marks the stop-loss level
Trade Zone Box shows shaded area from SL to TP2
These elements extend forward as price progresses. When TP1 is hit, its line becomes solid to indicate achievement. When the trade completes at either TP2 or SL, all elements are cleaned up and the entry label converts to a compact ghost label for historical reference.
Exit Labels Explained:
+X.XX% indicates first target reached with partial profit secured
+X.XX% indicates full target reached with maximum profit achieved
-X.XX% indicates stop-loss triggered
TP1 Hit, SL... indicates stopped out after TP1 was already hit (optional display)
OPPOSITE SIGNAL HANDLING
When market conditions shift dramatically, the engine may generate a signal in the opposite direction while an existing trade is active. This represents a significant change in confluence and is handled automatically:
Automatic Trade Reversal Process:
1. Detection: New signal triggers opposite to current trade direction (e.g., SHORT signal while LONG trade is active)
2. Current Trade Closure:
- All visual elements (entry line, TP/SL lines, trade zone) are deleted
- Current trade is marked as closed
3. Entry Label Conversion:
- The detailed entry label is converted to a compact ghost label
- Ghost label shows direction + score (e.g., "LONG 75")
- Marked with "OPP" outcome to indicate opposite signal closure
- Moved to a non-interfering position below/above price
4. New Trade Initialization:
- Fresh entry label created for new direction
- New TP1, TP2, SL levels calculated based on new signal quality
- Trade zone and price lines drawn for new trade
Example Scenario:
You enter a LONG trade at score 72. Price moves sideways for 8 bars, then market structure breaks down. Confluence shifts heavily bearish with a sweep reclaim bear + momentum + volume spike, generating a SHORT signal at score 81. The engine automatically:
- Closes the LONG trade
- Converts "LONG 72" entry label to a small ghost label
- Opens new SHORT trade at current price
- Displays new SHORT entry label with full trade details
Trading Implication:
This behavior ensures the engine is always aligned with the highest-probability direction based on current confluence. It prevents you from holding a position when all five factors have flipped against you.
Note: This does NOT happen for every small score change. The opposite signal must meet all signal generation requirements (minimum score, gate pass, regime check, HTF alignment) before triggering. Typically occurs during strong trend reversals or major support/resistance breaks.

Interpretation
The engine produced a standard short (Score 64) while the market showed elevated volume and volatility but no HTF confirmation. Although the Gate passed (3/3), Structure = 0 blocks the indicator from issuing fresh entries — this is intentional and by design: one missing factor (structure) is enough to prevent new signals even when other factors look supportive. The currently open short is being managed (partial targets and SL visible), but the system's recommendation is to manage the existing trade only and not open new shorts until structure or HTF alignment improves.
Why this example matters (teaching point)
-Gate ≠ Go: Gate pass (factor count) alone does not force fresh trades — the system enforces additional checks (structure, regime, HTF) to avoid lower-quality setups.
-Volume & Volatility are necessary but not sufficient: High volume and wide ATR create movement but do not replace structural validation.
-Active trade vs new entries: The script will continue to manage an already open trade but will not create a new signal while a blocking factor remains. This prevents overtrading and reduces false positives.
-Practical trader actions shown by the example
-Manage existing SHORT only: Trail to breakeven if TP1 is taken; scale out at TP1; hold remaining if price respects trend and structure reclaims.
-Do not add fresh positions: Wait for Structure > 0 or a HTF alignment that lifts the block.
-Watch for signals that matter: Sweep reclaim, HTF alignment turning bullish for shorts (i.e., HTF changes to BEAR), or a squeeze release with volume spike — these can clear the blocker and validate new entries.
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES
For Scalping on 1m, 5m, or 15m charts: Use higher factor thresholds and shorter cooldowns. The faster pace requires stricter filtering.
For Day Trading on 15m, 30m, or 1H charts: This provides a balance of signal frequency and reliability suitable for most active traders.
For Swing Trading on 1H, 4H, or Daily charts: Expect higher quality signals with longer hold periods and fewer false signals.
For Position Trading on Daily or Weekly charts: Focus on ULTRA signals only for maximum conviction on longer-term positions.
Higher Timeframe Alignment Recommendations:
When trading 5m, use 1H as your HTF
When trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as your HTF
When trading 1H, use 4H or Daily as your HTF
When trading 4H, use Daily as your HTF
The general rule is to select an HTF that is 4 to 12 times your trading timeframe.
TRADING STYLE PRESETS
Balanced (Default)
Equal weighting across all five factors at 20% each. Suitable for most market conditions and recommended as starting point.
Scalper
Emphasizes Volume at 30% and Volatility at 30%. Designed for quick in-and-out trades on lower timeframes where immediate momentum and volatility expansion matter most.
Swing Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 30% and Momentum at 30%. Focuses on catching larger moves where trend direction and key levels are paramount.
Range Trader
Emphasizes Structure at 35% and Pattern at 25%. Optimized for sideways markets where support/resistance levels and reversal patterns dominate.
Trend Follower
Emphasizes Momentum at 40%. Designed for trending markets where staying with the dominant direction is the priority.
QUALITY MODE SETTINGS
Custom Mode
Set your own minimum score threshold. Lower thresholds between 60 and 65 generate more signals but with lower average quality. Higher thresholds of 75 or above generate fewer but higher-quality signals.
High Quality Mode
Uses minimum score of 70. Recommended for most users as it filters out marginal setups while still providing reasonable signal frequency.
Ultra Only Mode
Uses minimum score of 80 for maximum selectivity. Only the highest-conviction setups generate signals. Recommended for swing and position traders or during uncertain market conditions.
REGIME DETECTION
The engine continuously evaluates market conditions and classifies them into five states:
TREND UP
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bullish order
Trading Implications: Long signals receive score boost while short signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
TREND DN
Characteristics: Strong ADX reading with EMAs aligned in bearish order
Trading Implications: Short signals receive score boost while long signals are suppressed. Momentum factor gains additional weight.
VOLATILE
Characteristics: High ATR percentile, wide Bollinger Bands, elevated volume
Trading Implications: Both directions remain viable but wider stops are recommended. Volume factor gains additional weight.
RANGE
Characteristics: Low ADX reading, narrow Bollinger Bands, low ATR percentile
Trading Implications: Structure signals are emphasized while momentum signals are suppressed. Pattern recognition becomes more important.
WEAK
Characteristics: Unclear or mixed conditions that do not fit other categories
Trading Implications: Reduced confidence in all signals. Consider waiting for clearer market conditions.
Filter Mode Options:
Off - Regime is detected and displayed but no score adjustments are applied
Adjust Scores - Automatically modifies factor weights based on current regime
Block Weak Regimes - Prevents signals from generating when regime is RANGE or WEAK
VOLATILITY SQUEEZE DETECTION
A volatility squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel, indicating reduced volatility and potential energy building for a breakout.
Squeeze States Explained:
SQZ with bar count (example: SQZ 15)
Indicates currently in squeeze for the displayed number of bars. A score penalty is applied during this phase because compression represents uncertainty about direction.
REL+ (Release Bullish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price above the basis line. Score bonus is applied for long setups as this often precedes strong upward moves.
REL- (Release Bearish)
Indicates squeeze has released with price below the basis line. Score bonus is applied for short setups as this often precedes strong downward moves.
NORM (Normal)
No active squeeze detected. Standard scoring applies.
Trading Implication:
Squeeze releases often produce strong directional moves. The engine detects both the squeeze duration and the release direction, awarding bonus points to signals that align with the release. Longer squeeze duration often corresponds to more powerful breakouts.
LIQUIDITY SWEEP DETECTION
Markets often sweep beyond obvious support and resistance levels to trigger stops before reversing. The engine detects these patterns:
Bullish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps below recent swing low, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back above the swing low. This often indicates smart money accumulation after retail stops are collected.
Bearish Sweep Reclaim
Price sweeps above recent swing high, triggering stop losses, then reclaims back below the swing high. This often indicates smart money distribution after retail stops are collected.
Sweep Status in Dashboard:
RCL (Reclaim) - Reclaim has been confirmed. This receives highest structure score as the pattern is complete.
PND (Pending) - Sweep has occurred and price is near the level but full reclaim not yet confirmed. Watching for completion.
ACT (Active) - Sweep is currently in progress with price beyond the swing level.
Dash (-) - No sweep activity detected.
MULTI-FACTOR GATE SYSTEM
Beyond overall score, the engine counts how many individual factors meet their activation threshold.
Example Calculation:
Structure score 45 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Momentum score 25 with threshold 30 equals INACTIVE
Volume score 50 with threshold 35 equals ACTIVE
Volatility score 40 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Pattern score 35 with threshold 30 equals ACTIVE
Result: 4 of 5 factors are active
If minimum required factors is set to 3, this example passes the gate and receives a 4-factor bonus.
Gate Bonuses:
4 factors active adds 8 points to final score (default setting)
5 factors active adds 15 points to final score (perfect confluence)
Purpose:
This mechanism prevents scenarios where one extremely high factor score masks four weak factors. A score of 75 with only 2 active factors is less reliable than a score of 70 with 4 active factors.
ADAPTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT
Take-profit and stop-loss distances adjust dynamically based on three inputs:
Volatility Influence (default 40% weight)
Low ATR percentile produces tighter targets
High ATR percentile produces wider targets
This ensures stops are not too tight in volatile conditions or too wide in calm conditions.
Regime Influence (default 30% weight)
Trending market with aligned signal produces extended targets
Ranging market produces contracted targets
Volatile regime produces wider stops for protection
Score Influence (default 30% weight)
ULTRA signals (high conviction) receive extended targets
STANDARD signals receive standard targets
Higher conviction justifies larger profit expectations.
You can configure the weight of each influence in settings to match your trading style.
SESSION FILTER (Optional Feature)
When enabled, the engine applies score multipliers based on the trading session:
Asian Session (default 0.9x multiplier)
Characterized by lower volatility and ranging tendency. Score reduction reflects reduced opportunity.
London Session (default 1.1x multiplier)
Characterized by high volatility and trend initiation. Score boost reflects increased opportunity.
London/NY Overlap (default 1.2x multiplier)
Characterized by highest liquidity and strongest moves. Maximum score boost reflects peak trading conditions.
New York Session (default 1.05x multiplier)
Characterized by volatility but typically after initial moves have occurred.
Configure your UTC offset in settings to align session detection with your chart timezone.

AUTOMATIC SETTINGS VALIDATION
The indicator performs comprehensive validation when first loaded on a chart. If configuration errors are detected, a warning label appears on the chart with specific guidance.
Critical Errors (Prevent Signal Generation):
ULTRA threshold must exceed HIGH threshold
- Example error: HIGH = 75, ULTRA = 70
- Fix: Ensure ULTRA threshold is higher than HIGH threshold
- Default safe values: HIGH = 70, ULTRA = 80
Minimum factors cannot exceed 5
- The gate requires 3 to 5 factors (you cannot require 6 of 5 factors)
- Fix: Set minimum active factors to 3, 4, or 5
TP2 multiplier must exceed TP1 multiplier
- Example error: TP1 = 3.0 ATR, TP2 = 2.0 ATR
- Fix: Ensure TP2 (final target) is farther than TP1 (partial target)
- Default safe values: TP1 = 2.0, TP2 = 5.0
Swing lookback minimum is 3 bars
- Liquidity sweep detection requires at least 3 bars to identify swing highs/lows
- Fix: Increase swing lookback period to 3 or higher
ATR period minimum is 5 bars
- ATR calculation requires sufficient data for accuracy
- Fix: Increase ATR period to 5 or higher (14 recommended)
Higher timeframe must be larger than chart timeframe
- Example error: Trading on 1H chart with MTF set to 15m
- Fix: Select HTF that is 4-12x your chart timeframe
- Example: If trading 15m, use 1H or 4H as HTF
Warnings (Signal Generation Continues):
Score threshold below 50 generates many signals
- Lower thresholds increase signal frequency but reduce quality
- Recommendation: Use minimum 60 for active trading, 70+ for swing trading
Cooldown below 3 bars may cause signal clustering
- Very short cooldowns can produce multiple signals in quick succession
- Recommendation: Use 5+ bars for lower timeframes, 3+ for higher timeframes
Validation Label Display:
When errors are detected, a label appears at the top of the chart showing:

DEBUG MODE AND FACTOR MARKERS
The indicator includes optional debug tools for traders who want deeper insight into the scoring mechanics and factor analysis. These features are disabled by default to keep the chart clean but can be enabled in the Debug Mode settings group.
FACTOR MARKERS
When "Show Factor Markers" is enabled, visual shapes appear on the chart indicating confluence states:
Perfect Confluence (5/5 Factors Active)
A circle appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents maximum confluence where all five analytical dimensions meet their activation thresholds simultaneously. A small label showing "5/5" also appears. This is a rare occurrence and typically precedes the highest quality signals. Background color shifts to highlight this exceptional alignment.
Strong Confluence (4/5 Factors Active)
A diamond shape appears below the bar for bullish or above the bar for bearish setups. This represents strong confluence with four of five factors active. A label showing "4/5" appears when this state is first achieved. This level of confluence is associated with high-quality setups.
Ready Confluence (3/5 Factors Active)
A triangle appears below the bar (pointing up) for bullish or above the bar (pointing down) for bearish setups. This represents the minimum confluence level required when gate is set to 3 factors. No label appears for this level to reduce visual clutter.
Confluence Background
When factor markers are enabled, a subtle background color appears indicating the current confluence state. Stronger colors indicate higher confluence levels. Bullish confluence shows green tints while bearish confluence shows red tints.
Purpose of Factor Markers:
These markers help traders visualize when confluence is building before a signal triggers. You might see a 4/5 diamond appear one or two bars before the actual signal, giving you advance notice that conditions are aligning. This can help with preparation and timing.
DEBUG PANEL (Bottom Right)
When any debug option is enabled, a debug panel appears in the bottom right corner of the chart providing detailed scoring information.
Score Breakdown Table
When "Show Score Breakdown" is enabled, the panel displays:
Factor column showing Structure, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Pattern
Bull column showing raw score (0-100) for each bullish factor
Bear column showing raw score (0-100) for each bearish factor
Weight column showing current percentage weight for each factor
Below the factor rows :
FINAL row shows the calculated final Bull and Bear scores after all adjustments
Adj row shows total adjustments applied including gate bonus, squeeze adjustment, and exhaustion adjustment with positive or negative sign
This breakdown allows you to see exactly which factors are contributing to the score and which are lagging. If you notice Structure consistently low, you know to wait for better price positioning relative to swing levels.
Regime Debug
When "Show Regime Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current regime state (TREND UP, TREND DN, VOLATILE, RANGE, WEAK)
Current ADX value driving the regime classification
This helps you understand why certain score adjustments are being applied and verify the regime detection is working as expected for current market conditions.
MTF Debug
When "Show MTF Debug" is enabled, the panel displays:
Current MTF alignment status (BULL, BEAR, NEUT)
The higher timeframe being analyzed
This confirms the higher timeframe data is being read correctly and shows you the trend bias from the larger timeframe perspective.
Using Debug Mode Effectively
For Learning: Enable all debug options when first using the indicator to understand how scores are calculated and what drives signal generation.
For Optimization: Use score breakdown to identify which factors are consistently weak in your chosen market and timeframe. This can inform whether to adjust factor thresholds or switch trading styles.
For Troubleshooting: If signals seem inconsistent, enable debug to see exactly what values the engine is working with. This helps identify if a specific factor is behaving unexpectedly.
For Live Trading: Disable debug features to keep chart clean and reduce visual distraction. The main dashboards provide sufficient information for trade execution.
Debug Settings Summary:
Show Factor Markers - Displays shapes on chart when 3, 4, or 5 factors align. Useful for seeing confluence build before signals trigger.
Show Score Breakdown - Displays detailed table with all raw factor scores, weights, and adjustments. Useful for understanding exactly how final score is calculated.
Show Regime Debug - Adds regime state and ADX value to debug panel. Useful for verifying regime detection accuracy.
Show MTF Debug - Adds higher timeframe status and timeframe to debug panel. Useful for confirming MTF data is loading correctly.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
On lower timeframes such as 1-minute and 5-minute charts, the indicator creates visual elements including labels, lines, and boxes that may impact performance on slower devices.
Performance Mode automatically reduces visual elements, optimizes calculation frequency, and limits historical ghost labels when enabled.
Configure Max Ghost Labels (default 50) to control how many historical signal labels are retained on the chart.
NON-REPAINTING DESIGN
Signal Integrity:
All entry and exit signals generate only on confirmed (closed) bars using barstate.isconfirmed checks. This ensures signals do not appear and disappear during bar formation.
Higher Timeframe Data:
MTF analysis uses request.security with lookahead disabled (barmerge.lookahead_off) to prevent future data from influencing current calculations.
Visual Elements:
Lines, boxes, and labels for active trades update in real-time for monitoring purposes but this visual updating does not affect signal generation logic. Entry decisions are made solely on confirmed bar data.

Pine Script v6
2025
Apex Liquidity & Trend Architect [Smart]Trading charts often suffer from two problems: Noise (too many false signals in chopping markets) and Clutter (too many old lines and zones obscuring price).
ALTA solves both. It is a streamlined, institutional-grade trend system that uses ADX filtering to silence weak signals and Time-Decay logic to automatically clean up old liquidity zones. It respects your screen real estate, showing you only what matters, right now.
1. The "Smart" Engine
Unlike standard trend indicators that repaint or clutter the screen, ALTA introduces three key innovations:
A. Hull Moving Average (HMA) Baseline
We have upgraded the core engine to use the Hull Moving Average. HMA is significantly faster and smoother than standard EMAs or SMAs, reducing lag on entry signals.
Note: You can switch back to WMA or SMA in the settings if you prefer a slower pace.
B. ADX Momentum Filtering
Quality over Quantity: The script monitors the ADX (Average Directional Index). If the trend flips, but the ADX is below 20 (weak trend), the signal is blocked.
This prevents you from getting chopped out during sideways accumulation phases. You only get a "BUY" or "SELL" label when there is actual momentum behind the move.
C. Adaptive Gradient Coloring
The candles do not just turn Green or Red. They change intensity based on trend strength.
Bright/Vivid Candles: Strong Momentum (High ADX).
Dark/Dull Candles: Weak Momentum (Low ADX).
Visual Cue: If the candles are fading into the background, stay out of the market.
2. Self-Cleaning Liquidity Zones
Most support/resistance indicators leave old boxes on the chart forever. ALTA uses a Decay Protocol.
Volume Validation: Supply/Demand zones are only drawn if the pivot point had volume significantly higher than average (configurable).
Mitigation: If price wicks through a zone, it is deleted instantly.
Time Decay (New): If a zone is not hit within a set number of bars (Default: 100), it automatically deletes itself. This keeps your chart focused on fresh levels only.
3. The Minimalist HUD
A simplified dashboard in the corner of your screen provides an instant health check of the market:
ALTA Label: System Status.
Trend: BULL / BEAR / WAIT (Squeeze).
Power: WEAK / SOLID / STRONG (Based on ADX).
4. How to Trade (The Strategy)
The High-Probability Buy
Trend: Ribbon is Green.
Candles: Candles are Bright Green (indicating High ADX Strength).
Signal: A "BUY" label appears (confirmed by ADX filter).
Liquidity: Price is bouncing off a valid Demand Zone.
The High-Probability Sell
Trend: Ribbon is Red.
Candles: Candles are Bright Red (indicating High ADX Strength).
Signal: A "SELL" label appears.
Liquidity: Price is rejecting off a valid Supply Zone.
When to STAY OUT
The Squeeze: If the ribbon turns Grey/White, volatility is compressing. Wait for the breakout.
The Fade: If the candles are dark/translucent, momentum is dying. Take profits or wait for a fresh impulse.
5. Settings & Customization
Basis Type: Switch between HMA (Fast), WMA (Standard), or SMA (Slow).
Signal Quality Filter: Toggle the ADX filter on/off.
Zone Life: How many bars should a Supply/Demand zone survive before decaying?
Tooltips: Every single setting in this script includes a descriptive tooltip. Hover over the "i" icon in the settings menu for detailed explanations of every feature.

Dynamic Timeframe Trend AnalyzerPurpose and Core Logic
This indicator automatically adjusts its calculations based on the current chart’s timeframe, allowing traders to analyze trends, momentum, and mean reversion opportunities without manually changing indicator settings for each interval. It detects potential long or short setups by combining several techniques:
Dynamic Timeframe Factor
The script compares the current timeframe to a base (e.g., 5 minutes) and calculates a “factor” to scale certain parameters, such as EMA lengths or ATR settings. This reduces the need to reconfigure indicators when switching timeframes.
Regime Detection
It uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to classify the market as strongly trending, moderately trending, choppy, or in a potential mean-reversion phase.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also monitored for extreme levels (e.g., overbought/oversold) to detect potential reversal zones.
Volume is compared to a moving average to confirm or refute volatility conditions.
Trend & Mean Reversion Signals
EMA Alignment (8/21/55) helps identify bullish or bearish phases (strong bull if all EMAs align upward, strong bear if aligned downward).
For mean reversion opportunities, the script checks if ADX is sufficiently low (indicating weak or no trend) while price and RSI are at extreme levels—suggesting a snapback or countertrend move may occur.
Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to set initial stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels, then adjusts these levels further with “regime multipliers” based on whether the market is in a high-volatility trend or a quieter mean-reversion environment.
This approach aims to place stops and targets in a more adaptive way, reflecting current market conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Visual Aids
Color-coded chart backgrounds (e.g., greenish for bullish trend, red for bearish, yellow/orange for mean reversion).
Triangles to show recent bullish/bearish signals.
A status table in the top-right corner (optional) displaying key metrics like ADX, RSI, dynamic thresholds, current SL/TP levels, and whether a stop loss has been hit.
How It Works Internally
ADX & Dynamic Thresholds:
A moving average (adx_mean) and standard deviation (adx_std) of the ADX are calculated over a lookback period to define “strong” vs. “weak” ADX thresholds.
This allows the script to adapt to changing volatility and trend strength in different markets or timeframes.
Mean Reversion Criteria:
The indicator checks if price deviates significantly from its own moving average, alongside RSI extremes. If ADX suggests no strong directional push (i.e., the market is “quiet”), it may classify conditions as mean-reverting.
Regime Multipliers:
Once the script identifies the market regime (e.g., strong uptrend, choppy, mean reversion), it applies different multipliers to the user-defined base values for stop-loss and take-profit. For instance, strong trending conditions might allow for wider stops to handle volatility, while mean reversion signals use tighter exits to capture quick reversals.
How to Use It
Timeframe Agnostic
Simply apply it to any timeframe (from 1-minute up to daily or weekly). The “Dynamic Timeframe Factor” will scale the indicator parameters automatically.
Look for Buy/Sell Triangles
When the script detects a valid bullish trend shift or a mean-reversion long setup, it plots a green triangle under the price bar. Conversely, it plots a red triangle above the price bar for bearish or mean-reversion short setups.
Check the Status Table
The table in the top-right corner summarizes the indicator’s current readings: ADX, RSI, volume trends, and the market regime classification.
The table also shows if a stop loss has been hit (SL Hit) and displays recommended SL/TP levels if a signal is active.
Stop Loss & Take Profit
The script plots lines for SL and TP on your chart after a new signal. These lines are automatically adjusted based on ATR, volume conditions, and ADX-derived multipliers.
Mean Reversion vs. Trend-Following
If you see a “Mean Rev” state in the table or the background turning yellow/orange, it suggests potential countertrend trades. Conversely, “STRONG BULL” or “STRONG BEAR” states favor momentum-based entries in the prevailing direction.
Originality & Benefits
Adaptive to Timeframe: Many indicators require reconfiguration when switching from short to long timeframes. This script automates that process using the “timeframe factor” logic.
Regime-Based SL/TP: Instead of fixed risk parameters, the script dynamically tunes stop and target levels depending on whether the market is trending or reverting.
Comprehensive Market View: It combines multiple factors—ADX, RSI, volume, moving averages, and volatility measurements—into a single, integrated framework that categorizes the market regime in real time.
Best Practices & Notes
Timeframes: It typically performs well on intraday timeframes (5m, 15m, 1H) but can also be used for swing trading on 4H or Daily charts.
Settings: The defaults are a good starting point, but you can adjust the base ATR multiplier or ADX lookbacks if you prefer a different balance between sensitivity and stability.
Risk Management: This indicator is not a guarantee of any specific results. Always use proper risk management (position sizing, stop-losses, and diversified strategies).
Alert Conditions: Built-in alert conditions can notify you when a new long or short signal appears, or when a stop loss is triggered.
SUSH ALGOStep-by-Step Guide for Trading Using the Script
1. Asset Selection
When applying this script, the first thing to do is select your desired asset to trade.
You can select from the following assets within the script:
Scalping
Gold
USD/JPY
EUR/USD
EUR/JPY
BTC/USD
NIFTY 50
The parameters for the strategy (e.g., q, r, s, and ADX Threshold) will adjust automatically based on your selected asset. If you want to use custom parameters, turn on the Use Manual Settings option.
2. Adjust Manual Settings (Optional)
Use Manual Settings: Toggle this if you want to input your custom values for the strategy parameters.
Manual q: Affects swing period calculation.
Manual r: Affects the smoothing in the calculation of the oscillator.
Manual s: Affects the smoothing period of the main line of the oscillator.
Manual Signal Length: Length of the signal line for generating buy/sell signals.
Manual ADX Threshold: Adjusts the ADX value to filter trades based on trend strength.
3. Reading the SMI (Stochastic Momentum Index) Oscillator
SMI: This indicator oscillates between overbought and oversold levels, signaling potential entry and exit points.
Overbought Level: +30
Oversold Level: -30
The signal line is calculated based on the smoothed SMI value.
A crossover above the signal line in the oversold region (< -30) signals a buy.
A crossunder below the signal line in the overbought region (> +30) signals a sell.
4. Trade Signal Alerts
Buy Signal Alert: Triggered when the SMI crosses over the signal line in the oversold zone, and ADX exceeds the threshold.
Sell Signal Alert: Triggered when the SMI crosses under the signal line in the overbought zone, and ADX exceeds the threshold.
5. Entry, Stop Loss, and Target Levels
Entry Line: The script will plot an entry line at the close price when a buy or sell signal is triggered.
Stop Loss: A stop loss will be set based on the lowest low (for buy signals) or highest high (for sell signals) of the previous candles.
Take Profit Targets:
Target 1 (TP1): 3 times the size of the entry candle.
Target 2 (TP2): 6 times the size of the entry candle.
Target 3 (TP3): 10 times the size of the entry candle.
Make sure the Show Entry, Show Stop Loss, and Show Targets toggles are enabled to visualize these lines on the chart.
6. Monitoring the ADX (Average Directional Index)
The ADX value filters weak signals, ensuring that you trade only in trending markets.
If ADX > adxThreshold, the trend is strong, and the buy or sell signal becomes valid.
If ADX < adxThreshold, the trade signals are ignored to avoid trading in sideways markets.
7. Box, Line, and Label Toggles for Swing Highs/Lows
The script allows you to visualize swing highs and lows for better market context. You can toggle the following options:
Show Boxes: Displays rectangular boxes around the swing highs and lows.
Show Swing Lines: Plots lines at swing highs and lows for visual confirmation of key price levels.
Show Labels: Adds text labels to the swing levels, indicating whether they represent a swing high or low.
8. Customize Appearance (Optional)
You can change the appearance of the boxes, lines, and labels, such as their color, width, and style (solid or dotted), from the Appearance settings.
9. Monitor Volume and Open Interest (Optional)
You can also track volume and open interest (OI) data from various exchanges like Binance and BitMEX to get additional confirmations.
Steps for Trading
1.Select your asset from the drop-down menu based on your trading preferences.
2.Adjust manual settings (optional) if you want to use your own parameters for the strategy.
3.Wait for a buy or sell signal to trigger based on the crossover of the SMI oscillator in the overbought/oversold regions.
4.Once a signal is triggered, check for the plotted entry price, stop loss, and take profit levels on your chart.
5.Monitor the ADX value to ensure that the market is trending strongly.
6.If the trade meets your criteria, enter the trade at the indicated price.
Set your stop loss and take profit orders as indicated by the script.
Key Notes
# This strategy is designed for both trending and mean-reversion markets depending on the asset and the ADX value.
# Make sure to practice proper risk management by adjusting the stop loss and position size based on your risk tolerance.
Trend Type Indicator by BobRivera990Usage:
The purpose of this indicator is to programmatically determine the type of price trend using technical analysis tools.
You can do a quick check on the asset’s higher and lower time frames. For example, if you are trading on an H1 chart, you can check the m5 chart to ensure that the trend is in the same direction and similarly check the H4 chart to ensure that the higher time frame price is also moving in the same direction.
If multiple time frame charts confirm a similar trend, then it is considered a very strong trend and ideal for Trend trading.
Remarks:
By default, the last status is related to 8 periods before the latest closing price.
Related definitions:
The three basic types of trends are up, down, and sideways.
1. Uptrend
An uptrend describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is upward. The uptrend is composed of higher swing lows and higher swing highs.
Some market participants ("long" trend traders) only choose to trade during uptrends.
2. Downtrend
A downtrend refers to the price action of a security that moves lower in price as it fluctuates over time.
The downtrend is composed of lower swing lows and lower swing highs.
3. Sideways
A sideways trend is the horizontal price movement that occurs when the forces of supply and demand are nearly equal. This typically occurs during a period of consolidation before the price continues a prior trend or reverses into a new trend.
How it works:
Step 1: Sideways Trend Detection
In this step we want to distinguish the sideways trend from uptrend and downtrend. For this purpose, we use two common technical analysis tools: ATR and ADX
1. Average True Range (ATR)
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility.
We also use a 20-period moving average of the ATR.
When the ATR is below the average of its last 20-periods, it means that the rate of price volatility has decreased and we conclude that the current trend is sideways
2. Average Directional Index (ADX)
The average directional index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator used by some traders to determine the strength of a trend.
The trend has strength when ADX is above 25.
So when the ADX is less than or equal to 25, there is no strong trend, and we conclude that the current type of trend is sideways.
Step 2: Detect uptrend from downtrend
If it turns out that the current price trend is not sideways, then it is either uptrend or downtrend.
For this purpose, we use plus and minus directional Indicators (+ DI & -DI).
A general interpretation would be that during a strong trend, when +DI is higher than -DI, it is an uptrend. When -DI is higher than +DI, it is a downtrend.

SpectreSPECTRE - Precision Reversal Detection System
OVERVIEW
Spectre is a channel breakout indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal points by combining Donchian channel breaches with momentum confirmation. It generates BUY signals at oversold extremes and SELL signals at overbought extremes, filtered by trend strength to avoid low-conviction setups.
This indicator replaces the Regime Engine, which will continue to evolve independently as an experimental platform for testing new strategies and enhancements. Spectre was selected as the production replacement based on extensive backtesting across multiple assets and timeframes, which demonstrated superior win rates compared to alternative sell logic approaches (RSI-based exits outperformed CMO-based exits in 13 of 18 test configurations).
SIGNAL LOGIC
BUY CONDITIONS (all must be true):
Price touches or breaks below Donchian lower band
RSI is at or below oversold threshold (default: 35)
ADX confirms sufficient trend strength (default: ≥22)
BBWP confirms adequate volatility (default: ≥20%)
Cooldown period has elapsed since last buy
Cascade limit not reached
SELL CONDITIONS (all must be true):
Price touches or breaks above Donchian upper band
RSI is at or above overbought threshold (default: 70)
ADX confirms sufficient trend strength (default: ≥22)
BBWP confirms adequate volatility (default: ≥20%)
Cooldown period has elapsed since last sell
Cascade limit not reached
Price is not underwater (if protection enabled)
KEY FEATURES
NON-REPAINTING DONCHIAN CHANNELS
Uses previous bar's high/low extremes to prevent signal repainting. What you see in history is what you would have seen in real-time.
MULTI-FACTOR CONFIRMATION
Signals require agreement between price action (Donchian), momentum (RSI), and trend strength (ADX) to filter out low-quality setups.
VOLATILITY FILTER (BBWP)
Bollinger Band Width Percentile measures current volatility relative to historical norms. Low BBWP indicates compressed ranges where breakouts are less reliable - signals are blocked until volatility returns.
CASCADE PROTECTION
Limits consecutive signals in the same direction to prevent overexposure during extended trends. Resets when a signal fires in the opposite direction.
UNDERWATER PROTECTION (Unique to Spectre)
Tracks average entry price of recent buys and blocks sell signals when price has fallen significantly below this level. This prevents locking in large losses during drawdowns and allows positions to recover before exiting.
REGIME DETECTION
Visual background shading indicates current market regime based on Directional Indicator spread and On-Balance Volume trend. Green indicates bullish regime (+DI > -DI, OBV rising). Red indicates bearish regime (-DI > +DI, OBV falling). White/Gray indicates neutral or ranging conditions.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS BY TIMEFRAME
For 5-minute charts, use RSI Buy 30-35, RSI Sell 70-75, ADX 20-24.
For 15-minute charts, use RSI Buy 30-35, RSI Sell 68-72, ADX 22-26.
For 30-minute charts (default), use RSI Buy 32-38, RSI Sell 68-72, ADX 22-26.
For 1-hour charts, use RSI Buy 35-40, RSI Sell 65-70, ADX 20-24.
For 4-hour charts, use RSI Buy 35-40, RSI Sell 65-70, ADX 18-22.
These are starting points - optimize for your specific assets.
INFO PANEL GUIDE
Regime shows current market bias (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral). RSI shows current value with buy/sell threshold status. ADX shows trend strength categorized as Weak (<15), Range (15-24), Trend (24-34), or Strong (>34). BBWP shows volatility percentile with a warning symbol when below minimum. Donchian shows price position relative to channel bands. Avg Buy shows average entry price and underwater status. Cascade shows current consecutive signal counts versus limits.
USAGE TIPS
Works best in ranging or mean-reverting markets
Reduce RSI thresholds in strong trends (tighter = fewer signals)
Increase ADX minimum in choppy markets to filter noise
Enable underwater protection for swing trading, disable for scalping
Use regime background to contextualize signals (buy in green, sell in red)
Combine with support/resistance levels for additional confirmation
Helix Protocol 7Helix Protocol 7
Overview
Helix Protocol 7 is a trend-adaptive signal engine that automatically adjusts its buy and sell criteria based on current market conditions. Rather than using fixed thresholds that work well in some environments but fail in others, Helix detects whether the market is in a strong uptrend, neutral consolidation, or downtrend, then applies the appropriate signal parameters for each state. This adaptive approach helps traders buy dips aggressively in confirmed uptrends while requiring much stricter conditions before buying in downtrends.
Core Philosophy
The fundamental insight behind Helix is that the same indicator readings mean different things in different market contexts. An RSI of 45 during a strong uptrend represents a healthy pullback and buying opportunity. That same RSI of 45 during a confirmed downtrend might just be a brief pause before further decline. Helix encodes this context-awareness directly into its signal logic.
The Money Line
At the center of the indicator is the Money Line, which can be configured as either a linear regression line or a weighted combination of exponential moving averages. Linear regression provides a mathematically optimal fit through recent price data, while the weighted EMA option offers more responsiveness to recent price action. The slope of the Money Line determines whether the immediate price trend is bullish, bearish, or neutral, which affects the color of the bands and cloud shading.
Dynamic Envelope Bands
Upper and lower bands are calculated using Average True Range multiplied by a dynamic factor. When ADX indicates trending conditions, the bands automatically widen to accommodate larger price swings. The Chaikin Accumulation/Distribution indicator also influences band width, with strong accumulation or distribution causing additional band expansion. This dual adaptation helps the bands remain relevant across different volatility regimes.
Trend State Detection
Helix classifies market conditions into four distinct states using a combination of ADX behavior and Directional Movement analysis.
Strong Uptrend requires ADX to be rising (gaining momentum), ADX value above a threshold (default 25), and the positive directional indicator exceeding the negative. This combination confirms not just that price is rising, but that the trend is strengthening.
Strong Downtrend uses the same ADX requirements but with the negative directional indicator dominant. This identifies accelerating downward momentum.
Weak Downtrend is detected when ADX is falling (trend losing steam) but negative DI still exceeds positive DI. This often represents the exhaustion phase of a decline.
Neutral applies when none of the above conditions are met, typically during consolidation or when directional indicators are close together.
Adaptive Signal Thresholds
The indicator uses Fisher Transform and RSI as its primary oscillators, but the trigger levels change based on trend state.
During Strong Uptrend, buy conditions are relaxed significantly. The Fisher threshold might be set to 1.0 (only slightly below neutral) and RSI to 50, allowing entries on minor pullbacks within the established trend. Sell conditions are tightened, requiring Fisher above 2.5 and RSI above 70, letting winning positions run longer.
During Neutral conditions, both buy and sell thresholds return to traditional oversold and overbought levels. Fisher must reach -2.0 for buys and +2.0 for sells, with RSI requirements around 30 and 65 respectively.
During Downtrend, buy conditions become very strict. Fisher must reach extreme oversold levels like -2.5 and RSI must drop below 25, ensuring buys only trigger on genuine capitulation. Sell conditions are loosened, allowing exits on any meaningful bounce.
This asymmetric approach embodies the trading principle of being aggressive when conditions favor you and defensive when they do not.
Band Touch Signals
In addition to oscillator-based signals, Helix generates signals when price touches the dynamic bands. A touch of the lower band indicates potential support and generates a buy signal. A touch of the upper band suggests potential resistance and generates a sell signal. These band-based signals work alongside the oscillator signals, providing entries even when Fisher and RSI have not reached their thresholds.
Extreme Move Detection
Sometimes price moves so violently that it penetrates the bands by an unusual amount. Helix measures this penetration depth as a percentage of ATR and can flag these as "extreme" signals. Extreme signals have special properties: they can fire intra-bar (before the candle closes) to catch wick entries, they can bypass normal cooldown periods, and they can optionally bypass volatility freezes. This allows the indicator to capture panic selling events that might be missed by waiting for candle closes.
Cascade Protection System
A critical feature for risk management is the built-in cascade protection that prevents averaging down into oblivion. The system has two components.
First, it tracks Bollinger Band Width Percentile, which measures current volatility relative to its historical range. When BBWP exceeds a threshold (default 92%), indicating a volatility spike often associated with sharp directional moves, all buy signals are temporarily frozen. This prevents entries during the most dangerous market conditions.
Second, it counts consecutive buy signals without an intervening sell. After reaching the maximum (default 3), no additional buy signals are generated until a sell occurs. This absolute limit prevents the common mistake of repeatedly buying a falling asset.
The protection status is displayed in the information panel, showing current BBWP level and the consecutive buy count.
RSI Divergence Detection
Helix includes automatic detection of RSI divergences, which often precede trend reversals. Regular bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low, suggesting weakening downside momentum. Regular bearish divergence is the opposite pattern at tops. Hidden divergences, which suggest trend continuation rather than reversal, are also detected and can be displayed optionally. Divergence lines are drawn directly on the price chart connecting the relevant pivot points.
Signal Cooldown
To prevent signal clustering and overtrading, a configurable cooldown period prevents new signals for a set number of bars after each signal. This ensures each signal represents a distinct trading opportunity.
Visual Components
The indicator provides comprehensive visual feedback. The Money Line changes color based on slope direction. The cloud shading between bands reflects trend bias. An ADX bar at the bottom of the chart uses color coding to show trend state at a glance: lime for strong uptrend, red for downtrend, white for ranging (very low ADX), orange for flat, and blue for trending but not yet strong.
Price labels appear at signal locations showing the entry or exit price, the trigger type (band touch, uptrend dip, capitulation, etc.), and the current position in the consecutive buy count.
The information panel displays current trend state, divergence status, BBWP freeze status, buy counter, ADX with direction arrow, DI spread, Fisher and RSI values, and the current active thresholds for buy and sell signals. A compact mode is available for mobile devices.
How to Use
In strong uptrends, look for buy signals on pullbacks to the Money Line or lower band. The relaxed thresholds will generate more frequent entries, which is appropriate when trend momentum is confirmed. Consider letting sell signals pass if the trend remains strong.
In neutral markets, treat signals more selectively. Both buy and sell signals require significant oscillator extremes, making them higher-probability but less frequent.
In downtrends, exercise extreme caution with buy signals. The strict requirements mean buys only trigger on major oversold conditions. Respect sell signals promptly, as the loosened thresholds are designed to protect capital.
Always monitor the cascade protection status. If BBWP shows frozen or the buy counter is at maximum, the indicator is warning you that conditions are dangerous for new long entries.
Settings Guidance
The default settings are calibrated for cryptocurrency markets on 5-minute timeframes. For other assets or timeframes, consider adjusting the ADX threshold for strong trend detection (lower for less volatile assets), the Fisher and RSI thresholds for each trend state, and the BBWP freeze level based on the asset's typical volatility profile.
The indicator includes a debug panel that can be enabled to show the detailed state of all conditions, useful for understanding why signals are or are not firing.

Kernel Market Dynamics [WFO - MAB]Kernel Market Dynamics
⚛️ CORE INNOVATION: KERNEL-BASED DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS
The Kernel Market Dynamics system represents a fundamental departure from traditional technical indicators. Rather than measuring price levels, momentum, or oscillator extremes, KMD analyzes the statistical distribution of market returns using advanced kernel methods from machine learning theory. This allows the system to detect when market behavior has fundamentally changed—not just when price has moved, but when the underlying probability structure has shifted.
The Distribution Hypothesis:
Traditional indicators assume markets move in predictable patterns. KMD assumes something more profound: markets exist in distinct distributional regimes , and profitable trading opportunities emerge during regime transitions . When the distribution of recent returns diverges significantly from the historical baseline, the market is restructuring—and that's when edge exists.
Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD):
At the heart of KMD lies a sophisticated statistical metric called Maximum Mean Discrepancy. MMD measures the distance between two probability distributions by comparing their representations in a high-dimensional feature space created by a kernel function.
The Mathematics:
Given two sets of normalized returns:
• Reference period (X) : Historical baseline (default 100 bars)
• Test period (Y) : Recent behavior (default 20 bars)
MMD is calculated as:
MMD² = E + E - 2·E
Where:
• E = Expected kernel similarity within reference period
• E = Expected kernel similarity within test period
• E = Expected cross-similarity between periods
When MMD is low : Test period behaves like reference (stable regime)
When MMD is high : Test period diverges from reference (regime shift)
The final MMD value is smoothed with EMA(5) to reduce single-bar noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine distribution changes.
The Kernel Functions:
The kernel function defines how similarity is measured. KMD offers four mathematically distinct kernels, each with different properties:
1. RBF (Radial Basis Function / Gaussian):
• Formula: k(x,y) = exp(-d² / (2·σ²·scale))
• Properties: Most sensitive to distribution changes, smooth decision boundaries
• Best for: Clean data, clear regime shifts, low-noise markets
• Sensitivity: Highest - detects subtle changes
• Use case: Stock indices, major forex pairs, trending environments
2. Laplacian:
• Formula: k(x,y) = exp(-|d| / σ)
• Properties: Medium sensitivity, robust to moderate outliers
• Best for: Standard market conditions, balanced noise/signal
• Sensitivity: Medium - filters minor fluctuations
• Use case: Commodities, standard timeframes, general trading
3. Cauchy (Default - Most Robust):
• Formula: k(x,y) = 1 / (1 + d²/σ²)
• Properties: Heavy-tailed, highly robust to outliers and spikes
• Best for: Noisy markets, choppy conditions, crypto volatility
• Sensitivity: Lower - only major distribution shifts trigger
• Use case: Cryptocurrencies, illiquid markets, volatile instruments
4. Rational Quadratic:
• Formula: k(x,y) = (1 + d²/(2·α·σ²))^(-α)
• Properties: Tunable via alpha parameter, mixture of RBF kernels
• Alpha < 1.0: Heavy tails (like Cauchy)
• Alpha > 3.0: Light tails (like RBF)
• Best for: Adaptive use, mixed market conditions
• Use case: Experimental optimization, regime-specific tuning
Bandwidth (σ) Parameter:
The bandwidth controls the "width" of the kernel, determining sensitivity to return differences:
• Low bandwidth (0.5-1.5) : Narrow kernel, very sensitive
- Treats small differences as significant
- More MMD spikes, more signals
- Use for: Scalping, fast markets
• Medium bandwidth (1.5-3.0) : Balanced sensitivity (recommended)
- Filters noise while catching real shifts
- Professional-grade signal quality
- Use for: Day/swing trading
• High bandwidth (3.0-10.0) : Wide kernel, less sensitive
- Only major distribution changes register
- Fewer, stronger signals
- Use for: Position trading, trend following
Adaptive Bandwidth:
When enabled (default ON), bandwidth automatically scales with market volatility:
Effective_BW = Base_BW × max(0.5, min(2.0, 1 / volatility_ratio))
• Low volatility → Tighter bandwidth (0.5× base) → More sensitive
• High volatility → Wider bandwidth (2.0× base) → Less sensitive
This prevents signal flooding during wild markets and avoids signal drought during calm periods.
Why Kernels Work:
Kernel methods implicitly map data to infinite-dimensional space where complex, nonlinear patterns become linearly separable. This allows MMD to detect distribution changes that simpler statistics (mean, variance) would miss. For example:
• Same mean, different shape : Traditional metrics see nothing, MMD detects shift
• Same volatility, different skew : Oscillators miss it, MMD catches it
• Regime rotation : Price unchanged, but return distribution restructured
The kernel captures the entire distributional signature —not just first and second moments.
🎰 MULTI-ARMED BANDIT FRAMEWORK: ADAPTIVE STRATEGY SELECTION
Rather than forcing one strategy on all market conditions, KMD implements a Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) system that learns which of seven distinct strategies performs best and dynamically selects the optimal approach in real-time.
The Seven Arms (Strategies):
Each arm represents a fundamentally different trading logic:
ARM 0 - MMD Regime Shift:
• Logic: Distribution divergence with directional bias
• Triggers: MMD > threshold AND direction_bias confirmed AND velocity > 5%
• Philosophy: Trade the regime transition itself
• Best in: Volatile shifts, breakout moments, crisis periods
• Weakness: False alarms in choppy consolidation
ARM 1 - Trend Following:
• Logic: Aligned EMAs with strong ADX
• Triggers: EMA(9) > EMA(21) > EMA(50) AND ADX > 25
• Philosophy: Ride established momentum
• Best in: Strong trending regimes, directional markets
• Weakness: Late entries, whipsaws at reversals
ARM 2 - Breakout:
• Logic: Bollinger Band breakouts with volume
• Triggers: Price crosses BB outer band AND volume > 1.2× average
• Philosophy: Capture volatility expansion events
• Best in: Range breakouts, earnings, news events
• Weakness: False breakouts in ranging markets
ARM 3 - RSI Mean Reversion:
• Logic: RSI extremes with reversal confirmation
• Triggers: RSI < 30 with uptick OR RSI > 70 with downtick
• Philosophy: Fade overbought/oversold extremes
• Best in: Ranging markets, mean-reverting instruments
• Weakness: Fails in strong trends, catches falling knives
ARM 4 - Z-Score Statistical Reversion:
• Logic: Price deviation from 50-period mean
• Triggers: Z-score < -2 (oversold) OR > +2 (overbought) with reversal
• Philosophy: Statistical bounds reversion
• Best in: Stable volatility regimes, pairs trading
• Weakness: Trend continuation through extremes
ARM 5 - ADX Momentum:
• Logic: Strong directional movement with acceleration
• Triggers: ADX > 30 with DI+ or DI- strengthening
• Philosophy: Momentum begets momentum
• Best in: Trending with increasing velocity
• Weakness: Late exits, momentum exhaustion
ARM 6 - Volume Confirmation:
• Logic: OBV trend + volume spike + candle direction
• Triggers: OBV > EMA(20) AND volume > average AND bullish candle
• Philosophy: Follow institutional money flow
• Best in: Liquid markets with reliable volume
• Weakness: Manipulated volume, thin markets
Q-Learning with Rewards:
Each arm maintains a Q-value representing its expected reward. After every bar, the system calculates a reward based on the arm's signal and actual price movement:
Reward Calculation:
If arm signaled LONG:
reward = (close - close ) / close
If arm signaled SHORT:
reward = -(close - close ) / close
If arm signaled NEUTRAL:
reward = 0
Penalty multiplier: If loss > 0.5%, reward × 1.3 (punish big losses harder)
Q-Value Update (Exponential Moving Average):
Q_new = Q_old + α × (reward - Q_old)
Where α (learning rate, default 0.08) controls adaptation speed:
• Low α (0.01-0.05): Slow, stable learning
• Medium α (0.06-0.12): Balanced (recommended)
• High α (0.15-0.30): Fast, reactive learning
This gradually shifts Q-values toward arms that generate positive returns and away from losing arms.
Arm Selection Algorithms:
KMD offers four mathematically distinct selection strategies:
1. UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound) - Recommended:
Formula: Select arm with max(Q_i + c·√(ln(t)/n_i))
Where:
• Q_i = Q-value of arm i
• c = exploration constant (default 1.5)
• t = total pulls across all arms
• n_i = pulls of arm i
Philosophy: Balance exploitation (use best arm) with exploration (try uncertain arms). The √(ln(t)/n_i) term creates an "exploration bonus" that decreases as an arm gets more pulls, ensuring all arms get sufficient testing.
Theoretical guarantee: Logarithmic regret bound - UCB1 provably converges to optimal arm selection over time.
2. UCB1-Tuned (Variance-Aware UCB):
Formula: Select arm with max(Q_i + √(ln(t)/n_i × min(0.25, V_i + √(2·ln(t)/n_i))))
Where V_i = variance of rewards for arm i
Philosophy: Incorporates reward variance into exploration. Arms with high variance (unpredictable) get less exploration bonus, focusing effort on stable performers.
Better bounds than UCB1 in practice, slightly more conservative exploration.
3. Epsilon-Greedy (Simple Random):
Algorithm:
With probability ε: Select random arm (explore)
With probability 1-ε: Select highest Q-value arm (exploit)
Default ε = 0.10 (10% exploration, 90% exploitation)
Philosophy: Simplest algorithm, easy to understand. Random exploration ensures all arms stay updated but may waste time on clearly bad arms.
4. Thompson Sampling (Bayesian):
The most sophisticated selection algorithm, using true Bayesian probability.
Each arm maintains Beta distribution parameters:
• α (alpha) = successes + 1
• β (beta) = failures + 1
Selection Process:
1. Sample θ_i ~ Beta(α_i, β_i) for each arm using Marsaglia-Tsang Gamma sampler
2. Select arm with highest sample: argmax_i(θ_i)
3. After reward, update:
- If reward > 0: α += |reward| × 100 (increment successes)
- If reward < 0: β += |reward| × 100 (increment failures)
Why Thompson Sampling Works:
The Beta distribution naturally represents uncertainty about an arm's true win rate. Early on with few trials, the distribution is wide (high uncertainty), leading to more exploration. As evidence accumulates, it narrows around the true performance, naturally shifting toward exploitation.
Unlike UCB which uses deterministic confidence bounds, Thompson Sampling is probabilistic—it samples from the posterior distribution of each arm's success rate, providing automatic exploration/exploitation balance without tuning.
Comparison:
• UCB1: Deterministic, guaranteed regret bounds, requires tuning exploration constant
• Thompson: Probabilistic, natural exploration, no tuning required, best empirical performance
• Epsilon-Greedy: Simplest, consistent exploration %, less efficient
• UCB1-Tuned: UCB1 + variance awareness, best for risk-averse
Exploration Constant (c):
For UCB algorithms, this multiplies the exploration bonus:
• Low c (0.5-1.0): Strongly prefer proven arms, rare exploration
• Medium c (1.2-1.8): Balanced (default 1.5)
• High c (2.0-3.0): Frequent exploration, diverse arm usage
Higher exploration constant in volatile/unstable markets, lower in stable trending environments.
🔬 WALK-FORWARD OPTIMIZATION: PREVENTING OVERFITTING
The single biggest problem in algorithmic trading is overfitting—strategies that look amazing in backtest but fail in live trading because they learned noise instead of signal. KMD's Walk-Forward Optimization system addresses this head-on.
How WFO Works:
The system divides time into repeating cycles:
1. Training Window (default 500 bars): Learn arm Q-values on historical data
2. Testing Window (default 100 bars): Validate on unseen "future" data
Training Phase:
• All arms accumulate rewards and update Q-values normally
• Q_train tracks in-sample performance
• System learns which arms work on historical data
Testing Phase:
• System continues using arms but tracks separate Q_test metrics
• Counts trades per arm (N_test)
• Testing performance is "out-of-sample" relative to training
Validation Requirements:
An arm is only "validated" (approved for live use) if:
1. N_test ≥ Minimum Trades (default 10): Sufficient statistical sample
2. Q_test > 0 : Positive out-of-sample performance
Arms that fail validation are blocked from generating signals, preventing the system from trading strategies that only worked on historical data.
Performance Decay:
At the end of each WFO cycle, all Q-values decay exponentially:
Q_new = Q_old × decay_rate (default 0.95)
This ensures old performance doesn't dominate forever. An arm that worked 10 cycles ago but fails recently will eventually lose influence.
Decay Math:
• 0.95 decay after 10 periods → 0.95^10 = 0.60 (40% forgotten)
• 0.90 decay after 10 periods → 0.90^10 = 0.35 (65% forgotten)
Fast decay (0.80-0.90): Quick adaptation, forgets old patterns rapidly
Slow decay (0.96-0.99): Stable, retains historical knowledge longer
WFO Efficiency Metric:
The key metric revealing overfitting:
Efficiency = (Q_test / Q_train) for each validated arm, averaged
• Efficiency > 0.8 : Excellent - strategies generalize well (LOW overfit risk)
• Efficiency 0.5-0.8 : Acceptable - moderate generalization (MODERATE risk)
• Efficiency < 0.5 : Poor - strategies curve-fitted to history (HIGH risk)
If efficiency is low, the system has learned noise. Training performance was good but testing (forward) performance is weak—classic overfitting.
The dashboard displays real-time WFO efficiency, allowing users to gauge system robustness. Low efficiency should trigger parameter review or reduced position sizing.
Why WFO Matters:
Consider two scenarios:
Scenario A - No WFO:
• Arm 3 (RSI Reversion) shows Q-value of 0.15 on all historical data
• System trades it aggressively
• Reality: It only worked during one specific ranging period
• Live trading: Fails because market has trended since backtest
Scenario B - With WFO:
• Arm 3 shows Q_train = 0.15 (good in training)
• But Q_test = -0.05 (loses in testing) with 12 test trades
• N_test ≥ 10 but Q_test < 0 → Arm BLOCKED
• System refuses to trade it despite good backtest
• Live trading: Protected from false strategy
WFO ensures only strategies that work going forward get used, not just strategies that fit the past.
Optimal Window Sizing:
Training Window:
• Too short (100-300): May learn recent noise, insufficient data
• Too long (1000-2000): May include obsolete market regimes
• Recommended: 4-6× testing window (default 500)
Testing Window:
• Too short (50-80): Insufficient validation, high variance
• Too long (300-500): Delayed adaptation to regime changes
• Recommended: 1/5 to 1/4 of training (default 100)
Minimum Trades:
• Too low (5-8): Statistical noise, lucky runs validate
• Too high (30-50): Many arms never validate, system rarely trades
• Recommended: 10-15 (default 10)
⚖️ WEIGHTED CONFLUENCE SYSTEM: MULTI-FACTOR SIGNAL QUALITY
Not all signals are created equal. KMD implements a sophisticated 100-point quality scoring system that combines eight independent factors with different importance weights.
The Scoring Framework:
Each potential signal receives a quality score from 0-100 by accumulating points from aligned factors:
CRITICAL FACTORS (20 points each):
1. Bandit Arm Alignment (20 points):
• Full points if selected arm's signal matches trade direction
• Zero points if arm disagrees
• Weight: Highest - the bandit selected this arm for a reason
2. MMD Regime Quality (20 points):
• Requires: MMD > dynamic threshold AND directional bias confirmed
• Scaled by MMD percentile (how extreme vs history)
• If MMD in top 10% of history: 100% of 20 points
• If MMD at 50th percentile: 50% of 20 points
• Weight: Highest - distribution shift is the core signal
HIGH IMPACT FACTORS (15 points each):
3. Trend Alignment (15 points):
• Full points if EMA(9) > EMA(21) > EMA(50) for longs (inverse for shorts)
• Scaled by ADX strength:
- ADX > 25: 100% (1.0× multiplier) - strong trend
- ADX 20-25: 70% (0.7× multiplier) - moderate trend
- ADX < 20: 40% (0.4× multiplier) - weak trend
• Weight: High - trend is friend, alignment increases probability
4. Volume Confirmation (15 points):
• Requires: OBV > EMA(OBV, 20) aligned with direction
• Scaled by volume ratio: vol_current / vol_average
- Volume 1.5×+ average: 100% of points (institutional participation)
- Volume 1.0-1.5× average: 67% of points (above average)
- Volume below average: 0 points (weak conviction)
• Weight: High - volume validates price moves
MODERATE FACTORS (10 points each):
5. Market Structure (10 points):
• Full points (10) if bullish structure (higher highs, higher lows) for longs
• Partial points (6) if near support level (within 1% of swing low)
• Similar logic inverted for bearish trades
• Weight: Moderate - structure context improves entries
6. RSI Positioning (10 points):
• For long signals:
- RSI < 50: 100% of points (1.0× multiplier) - room to run
- RSI 50-60: 60% of points (0.6× multiplier) - neutral
- RSI 60-70: 30% of points (0.3× multiplier) - elevated
- RSI > 70: 0 points (0× multiplier) - overbought
• Inverse for short signals
• Weight: Moderate - momentum context, not primary signal
BONUS FACTORS (10 points each):
7. Divergence (10 points):
• Full 10 points if bullish divergence detected for long (or bearish for short)
• Zero points otherwise
• Weight: Bonus - leading indicator, adds confidence when present
8. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (10 points):
• Full 10 points if higher timeframe aligned (HTF EMA trending same direction, RSI supportive)
• Zero points if MTF disabled or HTF opposes
• Weight: Bonus - macro context filter, prevents counter-trend disasters
Total Maximum: 110 points (20+20+15+15+10+10+10+10)
Signal Quality Calculation:
Quality Score = (Accumulated_Points / Maximum_Possible) × 100
Where Maximum_Possible = 110 points if all factors active, adjusts if MTF disabled.
Example Calculation:
Long signal candidate:
• Bandit Arm: +20 (arm signals long)
• MMD Quality: +16 (MMD high, 80th percentile)
• Trend: +11 (EMAs aligned, ADX = 22 → 70% × 15)
• Volume: +10 (OBV rising, vol 1.3× avg → 67% × 15 = 10)
• Structure: +10 (higher lows forming)
• RSI: +6 (RSI = 55 → 60% × 10)
• Divergence: +0 (none present)
• MTF: +10 (HTF bullish)
Total: 83 / 110 × 100 = 75.5% quality score
This is an excellent quality signal - well above threshold (default 60%).
Quality Thresholds:
• Score 80-100 : Exceptional setup - all factors aligned
• Score 60-80 : High quality - most factors supportive (default minimum)
• Score 40-60 : Moderate - mixed confluence, proceed with caution
• Score 20-40 : Weak - minimal support, likely filtered out
• Score 0-20 : Very weak - almost certainly blocked
The minimum quality threshold (default 60) is the gatekeeper. Only signals scoring above this value can trigger trades.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment:
The system optionally adjusts the threshold based on historical signal distribution:
If Dynamic Threshold enabled:
Recent_MMD_Mean = SMA(MMD, 50)
Recent_MMD_StdDev = StdDev(MMD, 50)
Dynamic_Threshold = max(Base_Threshold × 0.5,
min(Base_Threshold × 2.0,
MMD_Mean + MMD_StdDev × 0.5))
This auto-calibrates to market conditions:
• Quiet markets (low MMD): Threshold loosens (0.5× base)
• Active markets (high MMD): Threshold tightens (2× base)
Signal Ranking Filter:
When enabled, the system tracks the last 100 signal quality scores and only fires signals in the top percentile.
If Ranking Percentile = 75%:
• Collect last 100 signal scores in memory
• Sort ascending
• Threshold = Score at 75th percentile position
• Only signals ≥ this threshold fire
This ensures you're only taking the cream of the crop —top 25% of signals by quality, not every signal that technically qualifies.
🚦 SIGNAL GENERATION: TRANSITION LOGIC & COOLDOWNS
The confluence system determines if a signal qualifies , but the signal generation logic controls when triangles appear on the chart.
Core Qualification:
For a LONG signal to qualify:
1. Bull quality score ≥ signal threshold (default 60)
2. Selected arm signals +1 (long)
3. Cooldown satisfied (bars since last signal ≥ cooldown period)
4. Drawdown protection OK (current drawdown < pause threshold)
5. MMD ≥ 80% of dynamic threshold (slight buffer below full threshold)
For a SHORT signal to qualify:
1. Bear quality score ≥ signal threshold
2. Selected arm signals -1 (short)
3-5. Same as long
But qualification alone doesn't trigger a chart signal.
Three Signal Modes:
1. RESPONSIVE (Default - Recommended):
Signals appear on:
• Fresh qualification (wasn't qualified last bar, now is)
• Direction reversal (was qualified short, now qualified long)
• Quality improvement (already qualified, quality jumps 25%+ during EXTREME regime)
This mode shows new opportunities and significant upgrades without cluttering the chart with repeat signals.
2. TRANSITION ONLY:
Signals appear on:
• Fresh qualification only
• Direction reversal only
This is the cleanest mode - signals only when first qualifying or when flipping direction. Misses re-entries if quality improves mid-regime.
3. CONTINUOUS:
Signals appear on:
• Every bar that qualifies
Testing/debugging mode - shows all qualified bars. Very noisy but useful for understanding when system wants to trade.
Cooldown System:
Prevents signal clustering and overtrading by enforcing minimum bars between signals.
Base Cooldown: User-defined (default 5 bars)
Adaptive Cooldown (Optional):
If enabled, cooldown scales with volatility:
Effective_Cooldown = Base_Cooldown × volatility_multiplier
Where:
ATR_Pct = ATR(14) / Close × 100
Volatility_Multiplier = max(0.5, min(3.0, ATR_Pct / 2.0))
• Low volatility (ATR 1%): Multiplier ~0.5× → Cooldown = 2-3 bars (tight)
• Medium volatility (ATR 2%): Multiplier 1.0× → Cooldown = 5 bars (normal)
• High volatility (ATR 4%+): Multiplier 2.0-3.0× → Cooldown = 10-15 bars (wide)
This prevents excessive trading during wild swings while allowing more signals during calm periods.
Regime Filter:
Three modes controlling which regimes allow trading:
OFF: Trade in any regime (STABLE, TRENDING, SHIFTING, ELEVATED, EXTREME)
SMART (Recommended):
• Regime score = 1.0 for SHIFTING, ELEVATED (optimal)
• Regime score = 0.8 for TRENDING (acceptable)
• Regime score = 0.5 for EXTREME (too chaotic)
• Regime score = 0.2 for STABLE (too quiet)
Quality scores are multiplied by regime score. A 70% quality signal in STABLE regime becomes 70% × 0.2 = 14% → blocked.
STRICT:
• Regime score = 1.0 for SHIFTING, ELEVATED only
• Regime score = 0.0 for all others → hard block
Only trades during optimal distribution shift regimes.
Drawdown Protection:
If current equity drawdown exceeds pause threshold (default 8%), all signals are blocked until equity recovers.
This circuit breaker prevents compounding losses during adverse conditions or broken market structure.
🎯 RISK MANAGEMENT: ATR-BASED STOPS & TARGETS
Every signal generates volatility-normalized stop loss and target levels displayed as boxes on the chart.
Stop Loss Calculation:
Stop_Distance = ATR(14) × ATR_Multiplier (default 1.5)
For LONG: Stop = Entry - Stop_Distance
For SHORT: Stop = Entry + Stop_Distance
The stop is placed 1.5 ATRs away from entry by default, adapting automatically to instrument volatility.
Target Calculation:
Target_Distance = Stop_Distance × Risk_Reward_Ratio (default 2.0)
For LONG: Target = Entry + Target_Distance
For SHORT: Target = Entry - Target_Distance
Default 2:1 risk/reward means target is twice as far as stop.
Example:
• Price: $100
• ATR: $2
• ATR Multiplier: 1.5
• Risk/Reward: 2.0
LONG Signal:
• Entry: $100
• Stop: $100 - ($2 × 1.5) = $97.00 (-$3 risk)
• Target: $100 + ($3 × 2.0) = $106.00 (+$6 reward)
• Risk/Reward: $3 risk for $6 reward = 1:2 ratio
Target/Stop Box Lifecycle:
Boxes persist for a lifetime (default 20 bars) OR until an opposite signal fires, whichever comes first. This provides visual reference for active trade levels without permanent chart clutter.
When a new opposite-direction signal appears, all existing boxes from the previous direction are immediately deleted, ensuring only relevant levels remain visible.
Adaptive Stop/Target Sizing:
While not explicitly coded in the current version, the shadow portfolio tracking system calculates PnL based on these levels. Users can observe which ATR multipliers and risk/reward ratios produce optimal results for their instrument/timeframe via the dashboard performance metrics.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE VISUAL SYSTEM
KMD provides rich visual feedback through four distinct layers:
1. PROBABILITY CLOUD (Adaptive Volatility Bands):
Two sets of bands around price that expand/contract with MMD:
Calculation:
Std_Multiplier = 1 + MMD × 3
Upper_1σ = Close + ATR × Std_Multiplier × 0.5
Lower_1σ = Close - ATR × Std_Multiplier × 0.5
Upper_2σ = Close + ATR × Std_Multiplier
Lower_2σ = Close - ATR × Std_Multiplier
• Inner band (±0.5× adjusted ATR) : 68% probability zone (1 standard deviation equivalent)
• Outer band (±1.0× adjusted ATR) : 95% probability zone (2 standard deviation equivalent)
When MMD spikes, bands widen dramatically, showing increased uncertainty. When MMD calms, bands tighten, showing normal price action.
2. MOMENTUM FLOW VECTORS (Directional Arrows):
Dynamic arrows that visualize momentum strength and direction:
Arrow Properties:
• Length: Proportional to momentum magnitude (2-10 bars forward)
• Width: 1px (weak), 2px (medium), 3px (strong)
• Transparency: 30-100 (more opaque = stronger momentum)
• Direction: Up for bullish, down for bearish
• Placement: Below bars (bulls) or above bars (bears)
Trigger Logic:
• Always appears every 5 bars (regular sampling)
• Forced appearance if momentum strength > 50 OR regime shift OR MMD velocity > 10%
Strong momentum (>75%) gets:
• Secondary support arrow (70% length, lighter color)
• Label showing "75%" strength
Very strong momentum (>60%) gets:
• Gradient flow lines (thick vertical lines showing momentum vector)
This creates a dynamic "flow field" showing where market pressure is pushing price.
3. REGIME ZONES (Distribution Shift Highlighting):
Boxes drawn around price action during periods when MMD > threshold:
Zone Detection:
• System enters "in_regime" mode when MMD crosses above threshold
• Tracks highest high and lowest low during regime
• Exits "in_regime" when MMD crosses back below threshold
• Draws box from regime_start to current bar, spanning high to low
Zone Colors:
• EXTREME regime: Red with 90% transparency (dangerous)
• SHIFTING regime: Amber with 92% transparency (active)
• Other regimes: Teal with 95% transparency (normal)
Emphasis Boxes:
When regime_shift occurs (MMD crosses above threshold that bar), a special 4-bar wide emphasis box highlights the exact transition moment with thicker borders and lower transparency.
This visual immediately shows "the market just changed" moments.
4. SIGNAL CONNECTION LINES:
Lines connecting consecutive signals to show trade sequences:
Line Types:
• Solid line : Same direction signals (long → long, short → short)
• Dotted line : Reversal signals (long → short or short → long)
Visual Purpose:
• Identify signal clusters (multiple entries same direction)
• Spot reversal patterns (system changing bias)
• See average bars between signals
• Understand system behavior patterns
Connections are limited to signals within 100 bars of each other to avoid across-chart lines.

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: Parameter Calibration (Week 1)
Goal: Find optimal kernel and bandwidth for your instrument/timeframe
Setup:
• Enable "Show MMD Debug Plot"
• Start with Cauchy kernel, 2.0 bandwidth
• Run on chart with 500+ bars of history
Actions:
• Watch yellow MMD line vs red threshold line
• Count threshold crossings per 100 bars
• Adjust bandwidth to achieve desired signal frequency:
- Too many crossings (>20): Increase bandwidth (2.5-3.5)
- Too few crossings (<5): Decrease bandwidth (1.2-1.8)
• Try other kernels to see sensitivity differences
• Note: RBF most sensitive, Cauchy most robust
Target: 8-12 threshold crossings per 100 bars for day trading
Phase 2: WFO Validation (Weeks 2-3)
Goal: Verify strategies generalize out-of-sample
Requirements:
• Enable WFO with default settings (500/100)
• Let system run through 2-3 complete WFO cycles
• Accumulate 50+ total trades
Actions:
• Monitor WFO Efficiency in dashboard
• Check which arms validate (green ✓) vs unproven (yellow ?)
• Review Train Q vs Test Q for selected arm
• If efficiency < 0.5: System overfitting, adjust parameters
Red Flags:
• Efficiency consistently <0.4: Serious overfitting
• Zero arms validate after 2 cycles: Windows too short or thresholds too strict
• Selected arm never validates: Investigate arm logic relevance
Phase 3: Signal Quality Tuning (Week 4)
Goal: Optimize confluence and quality thresholds
Requirements:
• Switch dashboard to FULL mode
• Enable all diagnostic displays
• Track signals for 100+ bars
Actions:
• Watch Bull/Bear quality scores in real-time
• Note quality distribution of fired signals (are they all 60-70% or higher?)
• If signal ranking on, check percentile cutoff appropriateness
• Adjust "Minimum Signal Strength" to filter weak setups
• Adjust "Minimum Confluence" if too many/few signals
Optimization:
• If win rate >60%: Lower thresholds (capture more opportunities)
• If win rate <45%: Raise thresholds (improve quality)
• If Profit Factor <1.2: Increase minimum quality by 5-10 points
Phase 4: Regime Awareness (Week 5)
Goal: Understand which regimes work best
Setup:
• Track performance by regime using notes/journal
• Dashboard shows current regime constantly
Actions:
• Note signal quality and outcomes in each regime:
- STABLE: Often weak signals, low confidence
- TRENDING: Trend-following arms dominate
- SHIFTING: Highest signal quality, core opportunity
- ELEVATED: Good signals, moderate success
- EXTREME: Mixed results, high variance
• Adjust Regime Filter based on findings
• If losing in EXTREME consistently: Use "Smart" or "Strict" filter
Phase 5: Micro Live Testing (Weeks 6-8)
Goal: Validate forward performance with minimal capital
Requirements:
• Paper trading shows: WR >45%, PF >1.2, Efficiency >0.6
• Understand why signals fire and why they're blocked
• Comfortable with dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• 10-25% intended position size
• Focus on ML-boosted signals (if any pattern emerges)
• Keep detailed journal with screenshots
Actions:
• Execute every signal the system generates (within reason)
• Compare your P&L to shadow portfolio metrics
• Track divergence between your results and system expectations
• Review weekly: What worked? What failed? Any execution issues?
Red Flags:
• Your WR >20% below paper: Execution problems (slippage, timing)
• Your WR >20% above paper: Lucky streak or parameter mismatch
• Dashboard metrics drift significantly: Market regime changed
Phase 6: Full Scale Deployment (Month 3+)
Goal: Progressively increase to full position sizing
Requirements:
• 30+ micro live trades completed
• Live WR within 15% of paper WR
• Profit Factor >1.0 live

Maintenance:
• Weekly dashboard review for metric drift
• Monthly WFO efficiency check (should stay >0.5)
• Quarterly parameter re-optimization if market character shifts
• Annual deep review of arm performance and kernel relevance
Stop/Reduce Rules:

• Consecutive losses >12: Reduce to 25%, review parameters
• Drawdown >20%: Stop trading, reassess system fit
• WFO efficiency <0.3 for 2+ periods: System broken, retune completely
💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Kernel Discovery:
Early versions used simple moving average crossovers and momentum indicators—they captured obvious moves but missed subtle regime changes. The breakthrough came from reading academic papers on two-sample testing and kernel methods. Applying Maximum Mean Discrepancy to financial returns revealed distribution shifts 10-20 bars before traditional indicators signaled. This edge—knowing the market had fundamentally changed before it was obvious—became the core of KMD.
Testing showed Cauchy kernel outperformed others by 15% win rate in crypto specifically because its heavy tails ignored the massive outlier spikes (liquidation cascades, bot manipulation) that fooled RBF into false signals.
The Seven Arms Revelation:
Originally, the system had one strategy: "Trade when MMD crosses threshold." Performance was inconsistent—great in ranging markets, terrible in trends. The insight: different market structures require different strategies. Creating seven distinct arms based on different market theories (trend-following, mean-reversion, breakout, volume, momentum) and letting them compete solved the problem.
The multi-armed bandit wasn't added as a gimmick—it was the solution to "which strategy should I use right now?" The system discovers the answer automatically through reinforcement learning.
The Thompson Sampling Superiority:
UCB1 worked fine, but Thompson Sampling empirically outperformed it by 8% over 1000+ trades in backtesting. The reason: Thompson's probabilistic selection naturally hedges uncertainty. When two arms have similar Q-values, UCB1 picks one deterministically (whichever has slightly higher exploration bonus). Thompson samples from both distributions, sometimes picking the "worse" one—and often discovering it's actually better in current conditions.
Implementing true Beta distribution sampling (Box-Muller + Marsaglia-Tsang) instead of fake approximations was critical. Fake Thompson (using random with bias) underperformed UCB1. Real Thompson with proper Bayesian updating dominated.
The Walk-Forward Necessity:
Initial backtests showed 65% win rate across 5000 trades. Live trading: 38% win rate over first 100 trades. Crushing disappointment. The problem: overfitting. The training data included the test data (look-ahead bias). Implementing proper walk-forward optimization with out-of-sample validation dropped backtest win rate to 51%—but live performance matched at 49%. That's a system you can trust.
WFO efficiency metric became the North Star. If efficiency >0.7, live results track paper. If efficiency <0.5, prepare for disappointment.
The Confluence Complexity:
First signals were simple: "MMD high + arm agrees." This generated 200+ signals on 1000 bars with 42% win rate—not tradeable. Adding confluence (must have trend + volume + structure + RSI) reduced signals to 40 with 58% win rate. The math clicked: fewer, better signals outperform many mediocre signals .
The weighted system (20pt critical factors, 15pt high-impact, 10pt moderate/bonus) emerged from analyzing which factors best predicted wins. Bandit arm alignment and MMD quality were 2-3× more predictive than RSI or divergence, so they got 2× the weight. This isn't arbitrary—it's data-driven.
The Dynamic Threshold Insight:
Fixed MMD threshold failed across different market conditions. 0.15 worked perfectly on ES but fired constantly on Bitcoin. The adaptive threshold (scaling with recent MMD mean + stdev) auto-calibrated to instrument volatility. This single change made the system deployable across forex, crypto, stocks without manual tuning per instrument.
The Signal Mode Evolution:
Originally, every qualified bar showed a triangle. Charts became unusable—dozens of stacked triangles during trending regimes. "Transition Only" mode cleaned this up but missed re-entries when quality spiked mid-regime. "Responsive" mode emerged as the optimal balance: show fresh qualifications, reversals, AND significant quality improvements (25%+) during extreme regimes. This captures the signal intent ("something important just happened") without chart pollution.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : KMD doesn't forecast prices. It identifies when the current distribution differs from historical baseline, suggesting regime transition—but not direction or magnitude.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance is 48-56% win rate with 1.3-1.8 avg R-multiple. This is a probabilistic edge, not certainty. Expect losing streaks of 8-12 trades.
• NOT Universal : Performs best on liquid, auction-driven markets (futures, major forex, large-cap stocks, BTC/ETH). Struggles with illiquid instruments, thin order books, heavily manipulated markets.
• NOT Hands-Off : Requires monitoring for news events, earnings, central bank announcements. MMD cannot detect "Fed meeting in 2 hours" or "CEO stepping down"—it only sees statistical patterns.
• NOT Immune to Regime Persistence : WFO helps but cannot predict black swans or fundamental market structure changes (pandemic, war, regulatory overhaul). During these events, all historical patterns may break.
Core Assumptions:
1. Return Distributions Exhibit Clustering : Markets alternate between relatively stable distributional regimes. Violation: Permanent random walk, no regime structure.
2. Distribution Changes Precede Price Moves : Statistical divergence appears before obvious technical signals. Violation: Instantaneous regime flips (gaps, news), no statistical warning.
3. Volume Reflects Real Activity : Volume-based confluence assumes genuine participation. Violation: Wash trading, spoofing, exchange manipulation (common in crypto).
4. Past Arm Performance Predicts Future Arm Performance : The bandit learns from history. Violation: Fundamental strategy regime change (e.g., market transitions from mean-reverting to trending permanently).
5. ATR-Based Stops Are Rational : Volatility-normalized risk management avoids premature exits. Violation: Flash crashes, liquidity gaps, stop hunts precisely targeting ATR multiples.
6. Kernel Similarity Maps to Economic Similarity : Mathematical similarity (via kernel) correlates with economic similarity (regime). Violation: Distributions match by chance while fundamentals differ completely.
Performs Best On:
• ES, NQ, RTY (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Russell 2000 futures)
• Major forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD
• Liquid commodities: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), SI (silver)
• Large-cap stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA (>$10M avg daily volume)
• Major crypto on reputable exchanges: BTC, ETH (Coinbase, Kraken)
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume stocks (<$1M daily volume)
• Exotic forex pairs with erratic spreads
• Illiquid crypto altcoins (manipulation, unreliable volume)
• Pre-market/after-hours (thin liquidity, gaps)
• Instruments with frequent corporate actions (splits, dividends)
• Markets with persistent one-sided intervention (central bank pegs)
Known Weaknesses:
• Lag During Instantaneous Shifts : MMD requires (test_window) bars to detect regime change. Fast-moving events (5-10 bar crashes) may bypass detection entirely.
• False Positives in Choppy Consolidation : Low-volatility range-bound markets can trigger false MMD spikes from random noise crossing threshold. Regime filter helps but doesn't eliminate.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small bandwidth changes (2.0→2.5) can alter signal frequency by 30-50%. Requires careful calibration per instrument.
• Bandit Convergence Time : MAB needs 50-100 trades per arm to reliably learn Q-values. Early trades (first 200 bars) are essentially random exploration.
• WFO Warmup Drag : First WFO cycle has no validation data, so all arms start unvalidated. System may trade rarely or conservatively for first 500-600 bars until sufficient test data accumulates.
• Visual Overload : With all display options enabled (cloud, vectors, zones, connections), chart can become cluttered. Disable selectively for cleaner view.

Market conditions change, correlations break, and distributional regimes shift in ways that historical data cannot predict. Black swan events occur.
Walk-forward optimization reduces but does not eliminate overfitting risk. WFO efficiency metrics indicate likelihood of forward performance but cannot guarantee it. A system showing high efficiency on one dataset may show low efficiency on another timeframe or instrument.
The dashboard shadow portfolio simulates trades under idealized conditions: instant fills, no slippage, no commissions, perfect execution. Real trading involves slippage (often 1-3 ticks per trade), commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, requotes, and liquidity constraints that significantly reduce performance below simulated results.
Maximum Mean Discrepancy is a statistical distance metric—high MMD indicates distribution divergence but does not indicate direction, magnitude, duration, or profitability of subsequent moves. MMD can spike during sideways chop, producing signals with no directional follow-through.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, broker execution, and market conditions before risking capital. Conduct extensive paper trading (minimum 100 trades) and start with micro position sizing (10-25% intended size) for at least 50 trades before scaling up.
Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (1-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every trade. Maintain adequate margin/capital reserves. Understand that most retail traders lose money. Algorithmic systems do not change this fundamental reality—they systematize decision-making but do not eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.

📁 SUGGESTED TRADINGVIEW CATEGORIES
PRIMARY CATEGORY: Statistics
The Kernel Market Dynamics system is fundamentally a statistical learning framework . At its core lies Maximum Mean Discrepancy—an advanced two-sample statistical test from the academic machine learning literature. The indicator compares probability distributions using kernel methods (RBF, Laplacian, Cauchy, Rational Quadratic) that map data to high-dimensional feature spaces for nonlinear similarity measurement.
The multi-armed bandit framework implements reinforcement learning via Q-learning with exponential moving average updates. Thompson Sampling uses true Bayesian inference with Beta posterior distributions. Walk-forward optimization performs rigorous out-of-sample statistical validation with train/test splits and efficiency metrics that detect overfitting.
The confluence system aggregates multiple statistical indicators (RSI, ADX, OBV, Z-scores, EMAs) with weighted scoring that produces a 0-100 quality metric. Signal ranking uses percentile-based filtering on historical quality distributions. The dashboard displays comprehensive statistics: win rates, profit factors, Sharpe ratios, expectancy, drawdowns—all computed from trade return distributions.
This is advanced statistical analysis applied to trading: distribution comparison, kernel methods, reinforcement learning, Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing, and performance analytics. The statistical sophistication distinguishes KMD from simple technical indicators.
SECONDARY CATEGORY: Volume
Volume analysis plays a crucial role in KMD's signal generation and validation. The confluence system includes volume confirmation as a high-impact factor (15 points): signals require above-average volume (>1.2× mean) for full points, with scaling based on volume ratio. The OBV (On-Balance Volume) trend indicator determines directional bias for Arm 6 (Volume Confirmation strategy).
Volume ratio (current / 20-period average) directly affects confluence scores—higher volume strengthens signal quality. The momentum flow vectors scale width and opacity based on volume momentum relative to average. Energy particle visualization specifically marks volume burst events (>2× average volume) as potential market-moving catalysts.
Several bandit arms explicitly incorporate volume:
• Arm 2 (Breakout): Requires volume confirmation for Bollinger Band breaks
• Arm 6 (Volume Confirmation): Primary logic based on OBV trend + volume spike
The system recognizes volume as the "conviction" behind price moves—distribution changes matter more when accompanied by significant volume, indicating genuine participant behavior rather than noise. This volume-aware filtering improves signal reliability in liquid markets.
TERTIARY CATEGORY: Volatility
Volatility measurement and adaptation permeate the KMD system. ATR (Average True Range) forms the basis for all risk management: stops are placed at ATR × multiplier, targets are scaled accordingly. The adaptive bandwidth feature scales kernel bandwidth (0.5-2.0×) inversely with volatility—tightening during calm markets, widening during volatile periods.
The probability cloud (primary visual element) directly visualizes volatility: bands expand/contract based on (1 + MMD × 3) multiplier applied to ATR. Higher MMD (distribution divergence) + higher ATR = dramatically wider uncertainty bands.
Adaptive cooldown scales minimum bars between signals based on ATR percentage: higher volatility = longer cooldown (up to 3× base), preventing overtrading during whipsaw conditions. The gamma parameter in the tensor calculation (from related indicators) and volatility ratio measurements influence MMD sensitivity.
Regime classification incorporates volatility metrics: high volatility with ranging price action produces "RANGE⚡" regime, while volatility expansion with directional movement produces trending regimes. The system adapts its behavior to volatility regimes—tighter requirements during extreme volatility, looser requirements during stable periods.
ATR-based risk management ensures position sizing and exit levels automatically adapt to instrument volatility, making the system deployable across instruments with different average volatilities (stocks vs crypto) without manual recalibration.

CLOSING STATEMENT
══════════════════════════════════════════
Kernel Market Dynamics doesn't just measure price—it measures the probability structure underlying price. It doesn't just pick one strategy—it learns which strategies work in which conditions. It doesn't just optimize on history—it validates on the future.
This is machine learning applied correctly to trading: not curve-fitting oscillators to maximize backtest profit, but implementing genuine statistical learning algorithms (kernel methods, multi-armed bandits, Bayesian inference) that adapt to market evolution while protecting against overfitting through rigorous walk-forward testing.
The seven arms compete. The Thompson sampler selects. The kernel measures. The confluence scores. The walk-forward validates. The signals fire.
Most indicators tell you what happened. KMD tells you when the game changed.

Market Trend statusBullTrading Free Indicator Series
What is the Trend State Machine?
A “trend state machine” that fuses DMI (+DI/−DI) with ADX strength. It avoids bells and whistles and answers three things with minimal rules:
1. Whether the market is range-bound (chop) or trending;
2. If trending, whether it is bullish (long) or bearish (short);
3. The trend intensity tier (Strong / Extreme / Decaying) plus a 0–100 strength score.
1-Minute Quick Start (beginners can stop here)
1. Timeframe – pick your trading anchor first
• Crypto: 5–15m
• Gold: 5m or 15m
• FX: 15–30m
2. Mode – top of the panel: set Mode = Simple.
3. Sensitivity – set Sensitivity (1 conservative – 5 aggressive). Recommended:
• Crypto: 3 (use 4 in high volatility)
• Gold: 2–3
• FX: 2–3
• Indices: 2
4. Read the card (top-right)
• Environment: Range/Invalid, Bull Trend (Watch), Bull Trend (Confirmed) (bearish equivalents apply)
• Add-ons: | Strong, | Extreme, | Decay
• Also shows ADX, Enter/Exit thresholds, ΔDI, and Score.
5. Background & lines
• Green/Red background = in trend; deeper shade = stronger.
• Orange thick line = ADX, Green = +DI, Red = −DI; shaded band between lines is the enter/exit zone.
6. Minimal execution rules
• Trade with the trend only: consider entries only when Environment = Confirmed and direction is bull/bear.
• Prioritize strength: when Strong Trend triggers or Score > 70, prefer trend-following adds / enable trailing take-profit.
• Exit: when Exit/Flip alert fires, or after Decay if ADX falls back below the enter threshold, reduce/close.
Note: In Simple mode, built-in hysteresis (Enter > Exit) cuts whipsaws significantly—no need to hand-tune thresholds.
How to Use Alerts
• Three built-in fixed alerts:
1. Trend Confirmed (Bull/Bear) — entry/add trigger
2. Strong Trend — momentum reinforcement (chase/add or tighten trailing TP)
3. Exit or Flip — scale-out/close/observe the other side
• Want dynamic messages with numbers? Check “Enable dynamic alerts (alert())” and, when creating the alert, choose Any alert() function call.
Parameter Guidance (rules of thumb)
• Sensitivity: Higher = earlier entries but more false signals; lower = later confirmation but steadier.
• Timeframe: The smaller the timeframe, the lower the sensitivity you usually need; on higher timeframes you may nudge it up.
• Combos:
• Crypto: 5m/15m + Sens 3 (4 in heavy vol)
• Gold: 5m/15m + Sens 2–3
• FX: 15m/30m + Sens 2–3
• Indices: 15m/30m + Sens 2
Pro Mode Highlights (optional)
• Threshold Mode: switch from Fixed (default) to Percentile Adaptive for better robustness across regimes/markets.
• ΔDI / Slope / Hold / Cool-down:
• ΔDI min separation filters weak price/volume divergences.
• ADX slope > threshold on entry rejects “breakouts without growing strength”.
• Min hold bars confirms before output to reduce whipsaws.
• Cool-down bars prevent immediate re-entry after exit/flip.
• MTF Aggregation: enable MTF, default 3× current timeframe, HTF weight 0.3–0.5.
• Turn on Require HTF not opposite & HTF_ADX ≥ exit threshold to effectively filter higher-TF noise.
Reading Cheat Sheet (what you see = what it means)
• Environment: Range/Invalid → Stand down; avoid counter-trend.
• Trend (Watch) → Just entered the zone; wait for Confirmed or buy the pullback with small size.
• Trend (Confirmed) → Trend-following allowed; use Score and Strong/Decay to size/manage.
• Strong Trend → Consider chasing/relaxing TP; momentum is increasing.
• Extreme → Overheated; be cautious chasing—favor trailing to lock gains.
• Decay → Momentum bending down; prepare to trim or tighten stops.
Common Pitfalls & Fixes
• Whipsaws in ranges → Lower sensitivity or move up a timeframe; in Pro mode, enable Slope filter.
• Confirmation too late → During Trend (Watch), try a probe with smaller size; add on confirmation.
• Cross-asset differences → Use Percentile thresholds and MTF weight, or adjust via market presets (Gold/FX/Index).
• Single-signal bias → Always combine Environment + Score + Strong/Decay to avoid tunnel vision.

BullTrading免费指标系列
趋势状态机 是什么：
一个把 DMI(+DI/-DI) 与 ADX 强度合成的“趋势状态机”。它不追求花哨，而是用最小规则输出三件事：
1. 市场当前是 震荡还是趋势；
2. 如是趋势，是 多还是 空；
3. 趋势的 强弱等级（强趋势/极端/衰减）与一个 0–100 的强度分数。
一分钟上手（新手用这个就够）
1. 时间周期：先选你交易的主周期（例：加密 5–15m；黄金 5m 或 15m；外汇 15–30m）。
2. 模式：面板最上方“模式”= 简单。
3. 敏感度：设“敏感度（1保守–5激进）”。推荐：
• Crypto：3（波动大可 4）
• Gold：2–3
• FX：2–3
• 指数/股指：2
4. 读卡片（右上角）
• 环境：震荡/无效、多头趋势(观察)、多头趋势(已确认)（空头同理）
• 附加：｜强趋势、｜极端、｜衰减
• 同时显示 ADX、进入/退出阈值、ΔDI、评分。
5. 底色 & 线
• 绿色/红色底色=处于趋势；颜色越实=越强。
• 橙色粗线=ADX，绿色=+DI，红色=-DI；中间阴影为进入/退出带。
6. 最小执行规则
• 只顺势：环境=已确认 且方向为多/空时才考虑进场。
• 强势优先：出现 强趋势 或评分>70 时，优先做顺势加仓/启动追踪止盈。
• 退出：出现 退出/翻转 告警，或 衰减 后 ADX 再跌回进入阈值下方时，减仓/平仓。
提醒：简单模式下，脚本已内置迟滞（进入>退出），可显著减少抖动；无需再手动校准阈值。
告警怎么用
• 已内置三条固定告警：
1. 趋势已确认（多/空） — 入场/加仓触发器
2. 强趋势 — 趋势强化（可做追击或加速移动止盈）
3. 退出或翻转 — 减仓/止盈/反向观察
• 想带数值的动态文案：勾选“启用动态告警 alert()”，创建告警时选择 Any alert() function call。
参数建议（简易法则）
• 敏感度：更激进（数字大）=更早进场但更易假信号；更保守（数字小）=更迟确认但更稳。
• 时间周期：越小周期越需要降低敏感度；越大周期可略升敏感度。
• 组合：
• Crypto：5m/15m + 敏感度 3（波动大时 4）
• Gold：5m/15m + 敏感度 2–3
• FX：15m/30m + 敏感度 2–3
• 指数：15m/30m + 敏感度 2
专业模式要点（进阶可选）
• 阈值模式：从“固定阈值（默认）”切到“百分位自适应”，在大波动/换市场时更鲁棒。
• ΔDI/斜率/驻留/冷却：
• ΔDI 最小分离度 过滤弱量价背离；
• 进入需 ADX 斜率>阈值 可拒绝“强度不增”的假突破；
• 最小驻留K数 确认后再输出，减少回撤抖动；
• 冷却K数 防止来回打脸。
• MTF 聚合：勾选“启用 MTF”，默认自动 3× 当前周期，HTF 权重 0.3–0.5。
• 要求HTF不反向且HTF_ADX≥退出阈值 打开，能有效剔除逆大级别噪音。
读图速查（你看到=代表什么）
• 环境：震荡/无效 → 暂停；不要逆势开单。
• 趋势(观察) → 刚进入阈值，等待 已确认 或回踩二次确认。
• 趋势(已确认) → 允许顺势；用评分和“强趋势/衰减”微调仓位。
• 强趋势 → 追击或放宽止盈，趋势动能在增强。
• 极端 → 过热区；谨慎追高，更多用移动止盈锁定。
• 衰减 → 动能下弯，准备减仓或收紧止盈。
常见坑 & 对策
• 在震荡箱体频繁进出：降低敏感度或升周期；专业模式勾选“斜率过滤”。
• 确认太慢错过起点：在确认前的“趋势(观察)”阶段，可用更小仓位的试探单，确认后加仓。
• 不同品种差异大：用“百分位”阈值与 MTF 权重；或按市场预设（Gold/FX/Index）微调。
• 只看一个信号：至少同时看 环境状态 + 评分 + 强/衰 三个维度，避免单指标偏差。

Diamond Peaks [EdgeTerminal]The Diamond Peaks indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that uses a few mathematical models to identify high-probability trading opportunities. This indicator goes beyond traditional support and resistance identification by incorporating volume analysis, momentum divergences, advanced price action patterns, and market sentiment indicators to generate premium-quality buy and sell signals.
Dynamic Support/Resistance Calculation
The indicator employs an adaptive algorithm that calculates support and resistance levels using a volatility-adjusted lookback period. The base calculation uses ta.highest(length) and ta.lowest(length) functions, where the length parameter is dynamically adjusted using the formula: adjusted_length = base_length * (1 + (volatility_ratio - 1) * volatility_factor). The volatility ratio is computed as current_ATR / average_ATR over a 50-period window, ensuring the lookback period expands during volatile conditions and contracts during calm periods. This mathematical approach prevents the indicator from using fixed periods that may become irrelevant during different market regimes.
Momentum Divergence Detection Algorithm
The divergence detection system uses a mathematical comparison between price series and oscillator values over a specified lookback period. For bullish divergences, the algorithm identifies when recent_low < previous_low while simultaneously indicator_at_recent_low > indicator_at_previous_low. The inverse logic applies to bearish divergences. The system tracks both RSI (calculated using Pine Script's standard ta.rsi() function with Wilder's smoothing) and MACD (using ta.macd() with exponential moving averages). The mathematical rigor ensures that divergences are only flagged when there's a clear mathematical relationship between price momentum and the underlying oscillator momentum, eliminating false signals from minor price fluctuations.
Volume Analysis Mathematical Framework
The volume analysis component uses multiple mathematical transformations to assess market participation. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is calculated as ∑(buying_volume - selling_volume) where buying_volume occurs when close > open and selling_volume when close < open. The relative volume calculation uses current_volume / ta.sma(volume, period) to normalize current activity against historical averages. Volume Rate of Change employs ta.roc(volume, period) = (current_volume - volume ) / volume * 100 to measure volume acceleration. Large trade detection uses a threshold multiplier against the volume moving average, mathematically identifying institutional activity when relative_volume > threshold_multiplier.
Advanced Price Action Mathematics
The Wyckoff analysis component uses mathematical volume climax detection by comparing current volume against ta.highest(volume, 50) * 0.8, while price compression is measured using (high - low) < ta.atr(20) * 0.5. Liquidity sweep detection employs percentage-based calculations: bullish sweeps occur when low < recent_low * (1 - threshold_percentage/100) followed by close > recent_low. Supply and demand zones are mathematically validated by tracking subsequent price action over a defined period, with zone strength calculated as the count of bars where price respects the zone boundaries. Fair value gaps are identified using ATR-based thresholds: gap_size > ta.atr(14) * 0.5.
Sentiment and Market Regime Mathematics
The sentiment analysis employs a multi-factor mathematical model. The fear/greed index uses volatility normalization: 100 - min(100, stdev(price_changes, period) * scaling_factor). Market regime classification uses EMA crossover mathematics with additional ADX-based trend strength validation. The trend strength calculation implements a modified ADX algorithm: DX = |+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI) * 100, then ADX = RMA(DX, period). Bull regime requires short_EMA > long_EMA AND ADX > 25 AND +DI > -DI. The mathematical framework ensures objective regime classification without subjective interpretation.
Confluence Scoring Mathematical Model
The confluence scoring system uses a weighted linear combination: Score = (divergence_component * 0.25) + (volume_component * 0.25) + (price_action_component * 0.25) + (sentiment_component * 0.25) + contextual_bonuses. Each component is normalized to a 0-100 scale using percentile rankings and threshold comparisons. The mathematical model ensures that no single component can dominate the score, while contextual bonuses (regime alignment, volume confirmation, etc.) provide additional mathematical weight when multiple factors align. The final score is bounded using math.min(100, math.max(0, calculated_score)) to maintain mathematical consistency.
Vitality Field Mathematical Implementation
The vitality field uses a multi-factor scoring algorithm that combines trend direction (EMA crossover: trend_score = fast_EMA > slow_EMA ? 1 : -1), momentum (RSI-based: momentum_score = RSI > 50 ? 1 : -1), MACD position (macd_score = MACD_line > 0 ? 1 : -1), and volume confirmation. The final vitality score uses weighted mathematics: vitality_score = (trend * 0.4) + (momentum * 0.3) + (macd * 0.2) + (volume * 0.1). The field boundaries are calculated using ATR-based dynamic ranges: upper_boundary = price_center + (ATR * user_defined_multiplier), with EMA smoothing applied to prevent erratic boundary movements. The gradient effect uses mathematical transparency interpolation across multiple zones.
Signal Generation Mathematical Logic
The signal generation employs boolean algebra with multiple mathematical conditions that must simultaneously evaluate to true. Buy signals require: (confluence_score ≥ threshold) AND (divergence_detected = true) AND (relative_volume > 1.5) AND (volume_ROC > 25%) AND (RSI < 35) AND (trend_strength > minimum_ADX) AND (regime = bullish) AND (cooldown_expired = true) AND (last_signal ≠ buy). The mathematical precision ensures that signals only generate when all quantitative conditions are met, eliminating subjective interpretation. The cooldown mechanism uses bar counting mathematics: bars_since_last_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index ≥ cooldown_period. This mathematical framework provides objective, repeatable signal generation that can be backtested and validated statistically.
This mathematical foundation ensures the indicator operates on objective, quantifiable principles rather than subjective interpretation, making it suitable for algorithmic trading and systematic analysis while maintaining transparency in its computational methodology.
* for now, we're planning to keep the source code private as we try to improve the models used here and allow a small group to test them. My goal is to eventually use the multiple models in this indicator as their own free and open source indicators. If you'd like to use this indicator, please send me a message to get access.
Advanced Confluence Scoring System
Each support and resistance level receives a comprehensive confluence score (0-100) based on four weighted components:
Momentum Divergences (25% weight)
RSI and MACD divergence detection
Identifies momentum shifts before price reversals
Bullish/bearish divergence confirmation
Volume Analysis (25% weight)
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) analysis
Volume Rate of Change monitoring
Large trade detection (institutional activity)
Volume profile strength assessment
Advanced Price Action (25% weight)
Supply and demand zone identification
Liquidity sweep detection (stop hunts)
Wyckoff accumulation/distribution patterns
Fair value gap analysis
Market Sentiment (25% weight)
Fear/Greed index calculation
Market regime classification (Bull/Bear/Sideways)
Trend strength measurement (ADX-like)
Momentum regime alignment
Dynamic Support and Resistance Detection
The indicator uses an adaptive algorithm to identify significant support and resistance levels based on recent market highs and lows. Unlike static levels, these zones adjust dynamically to market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring the levels remain relevant across different market conditions.
Vitality Field Background
The indicator features a unique vitality field that provides instant visual feedback about market sentiment:
Green zones: Bullish market conditions with strong momentum
Red zones: Bearish market conditions with weak momentum
Gray zones: Neutral/sideways market conditions
The vitality field uses a sophisticated gradient system that fades from the center outward, creating a clean, professional appearance that doesn't overwhelm the chart while providing valuable context.

Advanced Candlestick Pattern DetectorWhat Does This Indicator Do?
This indicator looks at the way price moves in the market using candlesticks (those red and green bars you see on charts). It tries to find special patterns like Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, Doji, and others. When one of these patterns shows up, the indicator checks a bunch of filters to decide if the pattern is strong enough to be a signal to buy or sell.
The Main Parts of the Indicator
1. Candlestick Pattern Detection
Bullish Engulfing:
Imagine you see a small down candle (red) and then a big up candle (green) that completely “covers” the red one. That’s a bullish engulfing pattern. It can signal that buyers are taking over.
Bearish Engulfing:
The opposite of bullish engulfing. A small up candle (green) is followed by a big down candle (red) that covers the previous candle. This suggests sellers might be in control.
Hammer & Shooting Star:
Hammer: A candle with a very short body and a long shadow at the bottom. It shows that buyers stepped in after a drop.
Shooting Star:
Similar to the hammer but with a long shadow on top. It can indicate that sellers are starting to push the price down.
Doji:
A candle with almost no body. This means the opening and closing prices are very close. It shows indecision in the market.
Harami Patterns (Bullish & Bearish):
These are two-candle patterns where the second candle is completely inside the body of the first candle. They signal that the previous trend might be about to change.
Morning Star & Evening Star:
These are three-candle patterns.
Morning Star:
Often seen at the bottom of a downtrend, it can signal a reversal to an uptrend.
Evening Star:
Seen at the top of an uptrend, it can signal that the price may soon go down.
2. Filters: Making the Signals Smarter
The indicator doesn’t just rely on patterns. It uses several “filters” to decide if a pattern is strong enough to trade on. Here’s what each filter does:
a. Adaptive Thresholds (ATR-Based)
What It Is:
The indicator uses something called ATR (Average True Range) to see how much the price is moving (volatility).
How It Works:
Instead of using fixed numbers to decide if a candle is a Hammer or a Doji, it adjusts these numbers based on current market activity.
User Settings:
Use Adaptive Thresholds: Turn this on to let the indicator adjust automatically.
Body Factor, Shadow Factor, Doji Factor: These numbers are multipliers that decide how small or big the body and shadows of the candle should be. You can change them if you want the indicator to be more or less sensitive.
b. Volume Filter
What It Is:
Volume shows how many trades are happening.
How It Works:
The filter checks if the current volume is higher than the average volume (multiplied by a set factor). This helps ensure that the signal isn’t coming from a very quiet market.
User Settings:
Use Volume Filter: Turn this on if you want to ignore signals when there’s not much trading.
Volume MA Period & Volume Multiplier: These settings determine what “normal” volume is and how much higher the current volume must be to count.
c. Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter
What It Is:
This filter looks at a bigger picture by using a moving average (MA) from a higher timeframe (for example, daily charts).
How It Works:
For a bullish (buy) signal, the indicator checks if the price is above this MA.
For a bearish (sell) signal, the price must be below the MA.
User Settings:
Use Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter: Enable or disable this filter.
Higher Timeframe for Trend: Choose which timeframe (like Daily) to use.
Trend MA Type (SMA or EMA) & Trend MA Period: Choose the type of moving average and how many candles to average.
d. Additional Trend Filters (ADX & RSI)
ADX Filter:
What It Is:
ADX stands for Average Directional Index. It measures how strong a trend is.
How It Works:
If the ADX is above a certain threshold, it means the trend is strong.
User Setting:
ADX Threshold: Set the minimum strength the trend should have.
RSI Filter:
What It Is:
RSI (Relative Strength Index) tells you if the price is overbought (too high) or oversold (too low).
How It Works:
For a buy signal, RSI should be low (under a set threshold).
For a sell signal, RSI should be high (above a set threshold).
User Settings:
RSI Buy Threshold & RSI Sell Threshold: These set the levels for buying or selling.
3. How the Final Signal Is Determined
For a signal (buy or sell) to be generated, the indicator first checks if one of the candlestick patterns is present. Then it goes through all these filters (trend, volume, ADX, RSI). Only if everything is in line will it show:
A BUY signal when all bullish conditions are met.
A SELL signal when all bearish conditions are met.
4. Visual Elements on the Chart
Trend MA Line:
A blue line is drawn on your chart showing the moving average from the higher timeframe (if you enable the trend filter). This helps you see the overall direction of the market.
Labels on the Chart:
When a signal is detected, you’ll see:
A BUY label below the candle (green).
A SELL label above the candle (red).
Background Colors:
The chart background might change slightly (green for bullish and red for bearish) to give you a quick visual cue.
Histogram:
At the bottom, there is a histogram that shows +1 for bullish signals, -1 for bearish signals, and 0 when there’s no clear signal.
5. Alerts
Alerts are built into the indicator so you can get a notification when a signal appears. The alert messages are fixed strings, meaning they always say something like “BUY signal on at price .” You can set up these alerts in TradingView to be notified via sound, email, or pop-up.
How to Use and Adjust the Filters
Deciding on Patterns:
You can choose which candlestick patterns you want to detect by toggling the options (e.g., Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, etc.).
Adjusting Adaptive Thresholds:
If you feel that the indicator is too sensitive (or not sensitive enough) during volatile times, adjust the Body Factor, Shadow Factor, and Doji Factor. These change how the indicator recognizes different candle shapes based on market movement.
Volume Filter Settings:
Use Volume Filter:
Turn this on if you want to ignore signals when there’s not enough trading activity.
Adjust the Volume MA Period and Volume Multiplier to change what “normal” volume is for your chart.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter Settings:
Choose a higher timeframe (like Daily) to see the bigger picture trend. Select the type of moving average (SMA or EMA) and its period. This filter ensures you only trade in the direction of the overall trend.
ADX & RSI Filters:
ADX:
Adjust the ADX Threshold if you want to change the minimum strength of the trend needed for a signal.
RSI:
Set the RSI Buy Threshold (for oversold conditions) and RSI Sell Threshold (for overbought conditions) to refine when a signal is valid.
Summary
This indicator is like having a smart assistant that not only looks for specific price patterns (candlesticks) but also checks if the overall market conditions are right using several filters. By combining:
Pattern Detection
Adaptive thresholds (based on ATR)
Volume Checks
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis
Additional Trend Strength and Overbought/Oversold Indicators (ADX & RSI)
...it helps you decide if it might be a good time to buy or sell. You can customize each part to fit your trading style, and with the built-in alerts, you can be notified when everything lines up.
Feel free to adjust the settings to see how each filter changes the signals on your chart. Experimenting with these will help you learn how the market behaves and how you can best use the indicator for your own strategy!
Crypto Scanner v4This guide explains a version 6 Pine Script that scans a user-provided list of cryptocurrency tokens to identify high probability tradable opportunities using several technical indicators. The script combines trend, momentum, and volume-based analyses to generate potential buying or selling signals, and it displays the results in a neatly formatted table with alerts for trading setups. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the script’s design, how traders can interpret its outputs, and recommendations for optimizing indicator inputs across different timeframes.
## Overview and Key Components
The script is designed to help traders assess multiple tokens by calculating several indicators for each one. The key components include:
- **Input Settings:**
- A comma-separated list of symbols to scan.
- Adjustable parameters for technical indicators such as ADX, RSI, MFI, and a custom Wave Trend indicator.
- Options to enable alerts and set update frequencies.
- **Indicator Calculations:**
- **ADX (Average Directional Index):** Measures trend strength. A value above the provided threshold indicates a strong trend, which is essential for validating momentum before entering a trade.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** Helps determine overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI is below the oversold level, it may present a buying opportunity, while an overbought condition (not explicitly part of this setup) could suggest selling.
- **MFI (Money Flow Index):** Similar in concept to RSI but incorporates volume, thus assessing buying and selling pressure. Values below the designated oversold threshold indicate potential undervaluation.
- **Wave Trend:** A custom indicator that calculates two components (WT1 and WT2); a crossover where WT1 moves from below to above WT2 (particularly near oversold levels) may signal a reversal and a potential entry point.
- **Scanning and Trading Zone:**
- The script identifies a *bullish setup* when the following conditions are met for a token:
- ADX exceeds the threshold (strong trend).
- Both RSI and MFI are below their oversold levels (indicating potential buying opportunities).
- A Wave Trend crossover confirms near-term reversal dynamics.
- A *trading zone* condition is also defined by specific ranges for ADX, RSI, MFI, and a limited difference between WT1 and WT2. This zone suggests that the token might be in a consolidation phase where even small moves may be significant.
- **Alerts and Table Reporting:**
- A table is generated, with each row corresponding to a token. The table contains columns for the symbol, ADX, RSI, MFI, WT1, WT2, and the trading zone status.
- Visual cues—such as different background colors—highlight tokens with a bullish setup or that are within the trading zone.
- Alerts are issued based on the detection of a bullish setup or entry into a trading zone. These alerts are limited per bar to avoid flooding the trader with notifications.
## How to Interpret the Indicator Outputs
Traders should use the indicator values as guidance, verifying them against their own analysis before making any trading decision. Here’s how to assess each output:
- **ADX:**
- **High values (above threshold):** Indicate strong trends. If other indicators confirm an oversold condition, a trader may consider a long position for a corrective reversal.
- **Low values:** Suggest that the market is not trending strongly, and caution should be taken when considering entry.
- **RSI and MFI:**
- **Below oversold levels:** These conditions are traditionally seen as signals that an asset is undervalued, potentially triggering a bounce.
- **Above typical resistance levels (not explicitly used here):** Would normally caution a trader against entering a long position.
- **Wave Trend (WT1 and WT2):**
- A crossover where WT1 moves upward above WT2 in an oversold environment can signal the beginning of a recovery or reversal, thereby reinforcing buy signals.
- **Trading Zone:**
- Being “in zone” means that the asset’s current values for ADX, RSI, MFI, and the closeness of the Wave Trend lines indicate a period of consolidation. This scenario might be suitable for both short-term scalping or as an early exit indicator, depending on further market analysis.
## Timeframe Optimization Input Table
Traders can optimize indicator inputs depending on the timeframe they use. The following table provides a set of recommended input values for various timeframes. These values are suggestions and should be adjusted based on market conditions and individual trading styles.
Timeframe ADX RSI MFI ADX RSI MFI WT Channel WT Average
5-min 10 10 10 20 30 20 7 15
15-min 12 12 12 22 30 20 9 18
1-hour 14 14 14 25 30 20 10 21
4-hour 16 16 16 27 30 20 12 24
1-day 18 18 18 30 30 20 14 28
Adjust these parameters directly in the script’s input settings to match the selected timeframe. For shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min), the shorter lengths help filter high-frequency noise. For longer timeframes (e.g., 1-day), longer input values may reduce false signals and capture more significant trends.
## Best Practices and Usage Tips
- **Token Limit:**
- Limit the number of tokens scanned to 10 per query line. If you need to scan more tokens, initiate a new query line. This helps manage screen real estate and ensures the table remains legible.
- **Confirming Signals:**
- Use this script as a starting point for identifying high potential trades. Each indicator’s output should be used to confirm your trading decision. Always cross-reference with additional technical analysis tools or market context.
- **Regular Review:**
- Since the script updates the table every few bars (as defined by the update frequency), review the table and alerts regularly. Market conditions change rapidly, so timely decisions are crucial.
## Conclusion
This Pine Script provides a comprehensive approach for scanning multiple cryptocurrencies using a combination of trend strength (ADX), momentum (RSI and MFI), and reversal signals (Wave Trend). By using the provided recommendation table for different timeframes and limiting the tokens to 20 per query line (with a maximum of four query lines), traders can streamline their scanning process and more effectively identify high probability tradable tokens. Ultimately, the outputs should be critically evaluated and combined with additional market research before executing any trades.
Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts📖 Overview
Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts is a powerful adaptive moving average indicator designed to capture market trends dynamically. Unlike traditional moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA), this indicator incorporates volatility-based trend detection, Bollinger Bands, ADX, and RSI, offering a comprehensive view of market conditions.
The MLMA is "machine learning-inspired" because it adapts dynamically to market conditions using ATR-based windowing and integrates multiple trend strength indicators (ADX, RSI, and volatility bands) to provide an intelligent moving average calculation that learns from recent price action rather than being static.
🛠 How It Works
1️⃣ Adaptive Moving Average Selection
The MLMA automatically selects one of four different moving averages:
📊 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) – Reacts quickly to price changes.
🔵 HMA (Hull Moving Average) – Smooth and fast, reducing lag.
🟡 WMA (Weighted Moving Average) – Gives recent prices more importance.
🔴 VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) – Accounts for volume impact.
The user can select which moving average type to use, making the indicator customizable based on their strategy.
2️⃣ Dynamic Trend Detection
ATR-Based Adaptive Window 📏
The Average True Range (ATR) determines the window size dynamically.
When volatility is high, the moving average window expands, making the MLMA more stable.
When volatility is low, the window shrinks, making the MLMA more responsive.
Trend Strength Filters 📊
ADX (Average Directional Index) > 25 → Indicates a strong trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) > 70 or < 30 → Identifies overbought/oversold conditions.
Price Position Relative to Upper/Lower Bands → Determines bullish vs. bearish momentum.
3️⃣ Volatility Bands & Dynamic Support/Resistance
Bollinger Bands (BB) 📉
Uses standard deviation-based bands around the MLMA to detect overbought and oversold zones.
Upper Band = Resistance, Lower Band = Support.
Helps traders identify breakout potential.
Adaptive Trend Bands 🔵🔴
The MLMA has built-in trend envelopes.
When price breaks the upper band, bullish momentum is confirmed.
When price breaks the lower band, bearish momentum is confirmed.
4️⃣ Visual Enhancements
Dynamic Gradient Fills 🌈
The trend strength (ADX-based) determines the gradient intensity.
Stronger trends = More vivid colors.
Weaker trends = Lighter colors.
Trend Reversal Arrows 🔄
🔼 Green Up Arrow: Bullish reversal signal.
🔽 Red Down Arrow: Bearish reversal signal.

DMI Delta by 0xjcfOverview
This indicator integrates the Directional Movement Index (DMI), Average Directional Index (ADX), and volume analysis into an Oscillator designed to help traders identify divergence-based trading signals. Unlike typical volume or momentum indicators, this combination provides insight into directional momentum and volume intensity, allowing traders to make well-informed decisions based on multiple facets of market behavior.
Purpose and How Components Work Together
By combining DMI and ADX with volume analysis, this indicator helps traders detect when momentum diverges from price action—a common precursor to potential reversals or significant moves. The ADX filter enhances this by distinguishing trending from range-bound conditions, while volume analysis highlights moments of extreme sentiment, such as solid buying or selling. Together, these elements provide traders with a comprehensive view of market strength, directional bias, and volume surges, which help filter out weaker signals.
Key Features
DMI Delta and Oscillator: The DMI indicator measures directional movement by comparing DI+ and DI- values. This difference (DMI Delta) is calculated and displayed as a histogram, visualizing changes in directional bias. When combined with ADX filtering, this histogram helps traders gauge the strength of momentum and spot directional shifts early. For instance, a rising histogram in a bearish price trend might signal a potential bullish reversal.
Volume Analysis with Extremes: Volume is monitored to reveal when market participation is unusually high, using a customizable multiplier to highlight significant volume spikes. These extreme levels are color-coded directly on the histogram, providing visual cues on whether buying or selling interest is particularly strong. Volume analysis adds depth to the directional insights from DMI, allowing traders to differentiate between regular and powerful moves.
ADX Trending Filter: The ADX component filters trends by measuring the overall strength of a price move, with a default threshold of 25. When ADX is above this level, it suggests that the market is trending strongly, making the DMI Delta readings more reliable. Below this threshold, the market is likely range-bound, cautioning traders that signals might not have as much follow-through.
Using the Indicator in Divergence Strategies
This indicator excels in divergence strategies by highlighting moments when price action diverges from directional momentum. Here’s how it aids in decision-making:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is falling to new lows while the DMI Delta histogram rises, it can indicate weakening bearish momentum and signal a potential price reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: Conversely, if prices are climbing but the DMI Delta histogram falls, it may point to waning bullish momentum, suggesting a bearish reversal.
Visual Cues and Customization
The color-coded output enhances usability:
Bright Green/Red: Extreme volume with strong bullish or bearish signals, often at points of high potential for trend continuation or reversal.
Green/Red Shades: These shades reflect trending conditions (bullish or bearish) based on ADX, factoring in volume. Green signals a bullish trend, and red is a bearish trend.
Blue/Orange Shades: Indicates non-trending or weaker conditions, suggesting a more cautious approach in range-bound markets.
Customizable for Diverse Trading Styles
This indicator allows users to adjust settings like the ADX threshold and volume multiplier to optimize performance for various timeframes and strategies. Whether a trader prefers swing trading or intraday scalping, these parameters enable fine-tuning to enhance signal reliability across different market contexts.
Practical Usage Tips
Entry and Exit Signals: Use this indicator in conjunction with price action. Divergences between the price and DMI Delta histogram can reinforce entry or exit decisions.
Adjust Thresholds: Based on backtesting, customize the ADX Trending Threshold and Volume Multiplier to ensure optimal performance on different timeframes or trading styles.
In summary, this indicator is tailored for traders seeking a multi-dimensional approach to market analysis. It blends momentum, trend strength, and volume insights to support divergence-based strategies, helping traders confidently make informed decisions. Remember to validate signals through backtesting and use it alongside price action for the best results.
Single Swing Strategy (SSS)Introduction
The Single Swing Strategy (SSS) is a trading strategy designed for assets that trend. It utilises a single technical indicator to identify potential buying opportunities in upward-trending markets. The strategy focuses on moments when the price of an asset breaks out to a new high, suggesting a strong upward momentum.
Components
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): SSS uses two EMAs to evaluate the overall asset trend. SSS describes an uptrend as identified, when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and vice versa for a downtrend.
2. Breakout: The strategy validates the trend identified by the EMAs through breakouts in the price action of the asset over a specified lookback period. No indicator is required for this step.
3. Average Directional Index (ADX): The ADX is used to measure the strength of a trend. It does not indicate the trend's direction but rather its strength, whether it's an uptrend or downtrend. A high ADX value (typically above 25) suggests a strong trend, either up or down while a low ADX value (typically below 20) indicates a weak or non-trending market. The ADX itself is a moving average of the expanding range between the +DI and -DI.
4. Positive Directional Indicator (DI+): DI+ helps identify the presence and strength of uptrends. It is calculated based on the upward price movement between current and previous highs. A rising DI+ alongside a rising ADX suggests a strengthening uptrend. When DI+ crosses above DI-, it's often interpreted as a bullish signal.
5. Negative Directional Indicator (DI-): DI- is used to detect the presence and strength of downtrends.It is derived from the downward price movement between current and previous lows. An increasing DI- along with a rising ADX indicates a strengthening downtrend while a crossover of DI- above DI+ is typically seen as a bearish signal.
How it works
1. Regime filter with ADX, DI+, and DI-: The first step in taking a trade is to determine the direction of the trend using the +DI. If in an uptrend, the strategy checks if the ADX is above 25 to confirm a strong uptrend. -DI is not used since the strategy is long only. If in an uptrend and the trend is strong, trades can be opened.
2. Trend Identification with EMAs: Initially, the strategy uses two Exponential Moving Averages (fast and slow) to determine the asset trend. A fast EMA crossing above the slow EMA signifies an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend. This is the Entry signal to open a long position.
3. Trend Confirmation with Breakout: The strategy confirms the EMA-indicated trend through price breakouts over a specified lookback period. An EMA crossover without a price action breakout does not lead to an entry signal
4. Trade Management: After entering a trade, the strategy uses predefined levels for taking profit and setting stop losses. Trades are closed either when the price reaches the take-profit level or falls to the stop-loss level. Hence, risk management is built in.
Results
The backtest results can be found below. Initial capital of 10000 was used, this is a convenient amount for most retail traders, commission of $3 per order, position size of 3% of initial capital and slippage of 3 ticks. These are all representative of real world retail trading conditions.
Originality
The Single Swing Strategy (SSS)'s originality is in its blending of classical technical analysis; Trend Analysis through EMAs and Price Action through Breakout, into an innovative trading logic.
1. The Essence of Trend and Breakout in SSS
(i) Trend Recognition: At the heart of SSS is the Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). While the use of EMAs is common, SSS employs them for trend analysis so an entry decision can be made. The strategy's core algorithm assesses the inception of an upward trend by observing a specific crossing pattern of the EMAs, a moment where the asset's momentum shifts, offering a strategic advantage.
(ii) Breakout Significance: The strategy's reliance on price breakouts isn't just about identifying a new high; it's about understanding market psychology. A breakout beyond a previous high signals not only momentum but also a collective market sentiment that favors upward movement. SSS attempts to capture this momentum, translating it into a tangible trading opportunity.
(iii)Strength of trend: The ADX and +DI double checks the trend is in the right direction and checks to see if the trend is strong enough hence, it prevents trading when the trend is not supportive.
2. Simplicity as a Cornerstone
(i) Clarity and Efficiency: In the realm of algorithmic trading, complexity isn't always synonymous with effectiveness. SSS' simplicity ensures its logic is transparent and its execution, efficient. This simplicity is a strategic choice, designed to reduce overfitting to past data and improve adaptability to real-market conditions.
(ii) Ease of Use and Decision Making: The straightforward nature of SSS may empower traders to make informed decisions without being overwhelmed by convoluted indicators. This is particularly useful because of the embedding of risk management using defined exit points after entry through a Take Profit and Stop Loss. This hardcodes a 3:1 risk reward ratio into every trade.
3. Positive Expectancy
(i) Performance Metrics: The SSS strategy shows its edge in its backtesting results. A 62% win rate, a profit factor of 1.7, profit ratio of 1.05 and an average trade gain of 4.7% are not just numbers; they show the mathematical edge over the backtest period, especially considering the high commissions and slippage factored into its design.
Trading
The SSS strategy has been backtested on the 1D timeframe of BTCUSD but users are encouraged to try it on other assets such as SPXL (5min), AAPL (5min) and others but the appropriate timeframe and trading costs may vary.
NOTE
Like any trading strategy, SSS does not guarantee profits. It's a tool to assist in decision-making, not a foolproof solution. Trading involves risks, particularly in volatile markets. Users should trade responsibly, considering their risk tolerance and financial situation. While SSS automates some aspects of trading, it requires continuous monitoring and does not replace the need for sound judgement and decision-making by the trader.
Previous Day High Low Strategy only for LongWelcome to the "Previous Day High Low Strategy only for Long"!.
This strategy aims to identify potential long trading opportunities based on the previous day's high and low prices, along with certain market strength conditions.

Explanation of how the strategy works
1. Previous Day's High and Low (HH, LL):
In this strategy, we start by obtaining the high and low prices of the previous day (not the current day) using the request.security function. This function allows us to access historical data for a specific time frame. The high and low prices are stored in the variables HH and LL, respectively.
2. Entry Conditions:
The strategy uses two conditions to trigger a long position:
Condition 1 (Long Condition 1): If the closing price of the current day crosses above the previous day's high (HH), it generates a long signal. This is achieved using the ta.crossover function, which detects when a crossover occurs.
Condition 2 (Long Condition 2): Similarly, if the closing price of the current day crosses above the previous day's low (LL), it also generates a long signal.
Combined Condition: To take long positions, the strategy combines both long conditions using the logical OR operator (or). This means that if either of the two conditions is met, a long position will be initiated.
3. Market Strength Filter:
The strategy also includes a filter based on the Average Directional Index (ADX) to gauge the market's strength before taking long positions. The ADX measures the strength of a trend in the market. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend.
Calculation of ADX: The ADX is calculated using the adx function, which takes two parameters: LWdilength (DMI Length) and LWadxlength (ADX period).
Strength Condition (strength_up): The strategy requires that the ADX value should be above a threshold (11 in this case) and that there is a predominance of upward movement (up > down) before initiating a long position. The LWADX value is multiplied by 2.5 and compared to the highest value of LWADX from the last 4 periods using ta.highest(LWADX , 4). If these conditions are met, the variable strength_up is set to true.
Combined Condition: The strength_up condition is then combined with the long conditions using the logical AND operator (and). This means that the strategy will only take a long position if both the long conditions and the market strength condition are met.
4. Trade Timing:
The strategy sets a specific trade window between 09:30 and 15:10. It will only execute trades within this time frame (TradeTime).
5. Risk Management:
The strategy implements dynamic stop-loss (SL) and profit-taking levels (T1, T2, T3) based on a user-defined Max Profit value. The stop-loss is set as a percentage of the Max Profit value. As the position moves in favor of the trader, the profit targets are adjusted accordingly.
6. Position Management:
The strategy uses the strategy.entry function to enter long positions based on the combined entry conditions. Once a position is open, the script uses strategy.exit to define the exit condition when either the profit target or stop-loss level is hit. The strategy.close function is used to close any open position at the end of the trade window (15:15).
7. Plotting:
The strategy uses the plot function to visualize the previous day's high and low prices, as well as the stop-loss (SL) and profit-taking (T1, T2, T3) levels on the chart.
Overall, the "Previous Day High Low Strategy only for Long" aims to identify potential long trading opportunities based on the previous day's price action and market strength conditions. However, as with any trading strategy, it's essential to thoroughly test it and consider risk management before applying it to real-world trading scenarios.

This bot uses 11 indicators:
1) ADX
2) RANGE FILTER
3) SAR
4) RSI
5) TWAP
6) JMA
7) MACD
8) VOLUME DELTA
9) VOLUME WEIGHT
10) MA
11) TSI
Pattern 1:
There are 3 main components that make up Gangood: I. Trend Filter. The algorithm uses a version of the ADX indicator as a trend filter to only trade during certain time periods when price is most likely to be range-bound (i.e., average retracement). This indicator consists of a fast ADX and a slow ADX both using the same lookback period.
The ADX is smoothed with a 6-period EMA and the slow ADX is smoothed with a 12-period EMA. When the fast ADX is above the slow ADX , the algorithm does not trade because it indicates that the price is most likely trending, which is bad for a mean reversion system. Conversely, when the fast ADX is below the slow ADX, the price is likely to be in a range, so this is the only time the algorithm is allowed to trade. II. Bollinger Bands When the trend filter allows trading, the algorithm uses Bollinger Bands.
Indicator for opening long and short positions. The Bolliger Bands indicator has a 20 lookback period and a 1.5 standard deviation for both the upper and lower bands. When the price crosses the lower band, a buy signal is generated and a long position is opened. When the price crosses the upper band, a sell signal is generated and a short position is opened.
Pattern 2:
Based on RSI which is commonly used as a trend reversal indicator. However, here it is used as a trend-setting indicator, often with great success. This pattern only takes long trades, which is quite successful in a bull market.
Pattern 3:
Long or short trades are determined by the intersection of the fast EMA with the slow EMA for long positions and vice versa for short positions. Trades should only occur close to intersections. We then use the MACD for the long position. an indicator with a 10-minute time frame where we look for high peaks in negative values for longs and vice versa for shorts. They should be significantly higher than the other peaks.
