Multi-Timeframe MA Levels█ OVERVIEW
This Pine Script is an indicator for displaying multiple moving average (MA) levels from several timeframes on your TradingView charts. At the Realtime Bar (the right-most bar on your chart), it draws a line where the various moving averages currently are.
For example, it will show you where the 8 EMA on the 5 minute timeframe is on your 1-minute timeframe chart.
It derives its look and function from "Lepelle's Key Levels" and focuses on visualizing various moving averages to complement this indicator.
█ FEATURES
1 — Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
• The script allows traders to view moving averages from different timeframes on a single chart.
This multi-timeframe approach helps identify significant levels and trends that might not be apparent when looking at a single timeframe.
2 — Customization and Flexibility:
• Extensive input options for customizing the appearance of the lines (width, style, color) and labels (size, position, distance from price).
This ensures that the indicator can be tailored to individual preferences and charting styles.
3 — Multiple Moving Averages:
• Support for various types of moving averages (8 EMA, 21 EMA, 50 SMA, 100 SMA, 200 SMA).
Each moving average can be individually enabled or disabled for specific timeframes,
providing a flexible tool for technical analysis.
█ SETTINGS
Inputs for Styling:
• Controls the appearance of the lines and labels.
• Includes options for line width, line style, text size, distance from the candlesticks, label position,
and whether to hide prices or use shorthand notation.
Moving Averages Settings:
• Inputs to select different moving averages (8 EMA, 21 EMA, 50 SMA, 100 SMA, 200 SMA) and their corresponding colors.
• Boolean inputs to enable or disable these moving averages on various timeframes (2 min, 5 min, hourly, daily).
█ SUMMARY
In essence, this script provides a comprehensive tool for technical analysis by combining multi-timeframe moving averages into a single, customizable, and user-friendly indicator. It enhances traders' ability to make informed decisions by providing clear visual representations of key moving average levels across different timeframes.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ LIMITATIONS
This script is best used with a short timeframe such as 1-minute or lower because of the limitations of Multi-Timeframe scripts. Basically, the alternate timeframes in use should always be higher than the chart timeframe.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ NOTES
This indicator is intended to complement and be used with "Lepelle's Key Levels" indicator.
In that indictor settings, I recommend turning off the 5 Daily timeframe moving average levels in that script, if using this one.

Goertzel Adaptive JMA T3Hello Fellas,
The Goertzel Adaptive JMA T3 is a powerful indicator that combines my own created Goertzel adaptive length with Jurik and T3 Moving Averages. The primary intention of the indicator is to demonstrate the new adaptive length algorithm by applying it on bleeding-edge MAs.
It is useable like any moving average, and the new Goertzel adaptive length algorithm can be used to make own indicators Goertzel adaptive.
Used Adaptive Length Algorithms
Normalized Goertzel Power: This uses the normalized power of the Goertzel algorithm to compute an adaptive length without the special operations, like detrending, Ehlers uses for his DFT adaptive length.
Ehlers Mod: This uses the Goertzel algorithm instead of the DFT, originally used by Ehlers, to compute a modified version of his original approach, which sticks as close as possible to the original approach.
Scoring System
The scoring system determines if bars are red or green and collects them.
Then, it goes through all collected red and green bars and checks how big they are and if they are above or below the selected MA. It is positive when green bars are under MA or when red bars are above MA.
Then, it accumulates the size for all positive green bars and for all positive red bars. The same happens for negative green and red bars.
Finally, it calculates the score by ((positiveGreenBars + positiveRedBars) / (negativeGreenBars + negativeRedBars)) * 100 with the scale 0–100.
Signals
Is the price above MA? -> bullish market
Is the price below MA? -> bearish market
Usage
Adjust the settings to reach the highest score, and enjoy an outstanding adaptive MA.
It should be useable on all timeframes. It is recommended to use the indicator on the timeframe where you can get the highest score.
Now, follows a bunch of knowledge for people who don't know about the concepts used here.
T3
The T3 moving average, short for "Tim Tillson's Triple Exponential Moving Average," is a technical indicator used in financial markets and technical analysis to smooth out price data over a specific period. It was developed by Tim Tillson, a software project manager at Hewlett-Packard, with expertise in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The T3 moving average is an enhancement of the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and aims to overcome some of its limitations. The primary goal of the T3 moving average is to provide a smoother representation of price trends while minimizing lag compared to other moving averages like Simple Moving Average (SMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), or EMA.
To compute the T3 moving average, it involves a triple smoothing process using exponential moving averages. Here's how it works:
Calculate the first exponential moving average (EMA1) of the price data over a specific period 'n.'
Calculate the second exponential moving average (EMA2) of EMA1 using the same period 'n.'
Calculate the third exponential moving average (EMA3) of EMA2 using the same period 'n.'
The formula for the T3 moving average is as follows:
T3 = 3 * (EMA1) - 3 * (EMA2) + (EMA3)
By applying this triple smoothing process, the T3 moving average is intended to offer reduced noise and improved responsiveness to price trends. It achieves this by incorporating multiple time frames of the exponential moving averages, resulting in a more accurate representation of the underlying price action.
JMA
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) is a technical indicator used in trading to predict price direction. Developed by Mark Jurik, it’s a type of weighted moving average that gives more weight to recent market data rather than past historical data.
JMA is known for its superior noise elimination. It’s a causal, nonlinear, and adaptive filter, meaning it responds to changes in price action without introducing unnecessary lag. This makes JMA a world-class moving average that tracks and smooths price charts or any market-related time series with surprising agility.
In comparison to other moving averages, such as the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), JMA is known to track fast price movement more accurately. This allows traders to apply their strategies to a more accurate picture of price action.
Goertzel Algorithm
The Goertzel algorithm is a technique in digital signal processing (DSP) for efficient evaluation of individual terms of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). It's particularly useful when you need to compute a small number of selected frequency components. Unlike direct DFT calculations, the Goertzel algorithm applies a single real-valued coefficient at each iteration, using real-valued arithmetic for real-valued input sequences. This makes it more numerically efficient when computing a small number of selected frequency components¹.
Discrete Fourier Transform
The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a mathematical technique used in signal processing to convert a finite sequence of equally-spaced samples of a function into a same-length sequence of equally-spaced samples of the discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), which is a complex-valued function of frequency . The DFT provides a frequency domain representation of the original input sequence .
Usage of DFT/Goertzel In Adaptive Length Algorithms
Adaptive length algorithms are automated trading systems that can dynamically adjust their parameters in response to real-time market data. This adaptability enables them to optimize their trading strategies as market conditions fluctuate. Both the Goertzel algorithm and DFT can be used in these algorithms to analyze market data and detect cycles or patterns, which can then be used to adjust the parameters of the trading strategy.
The Goertzel algorithm is more efficient than the DFT when you need to compute a small number of selected frequency components. However, for covering a full spectrum, the Goertzel algorithm has a higher order of complexity than fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms.
I hope this can help you somehow.
Thanks for reading, and keep it up.
Best regards,
simwai

High/Low of week: Stats & Day of Week tendencies// Purpose:
-To show High of Week (HoW) day and Low of week (LoW) day frequencies/percentages for an asset.
-To further analyze Day of Week (DoW) tendencies based on averaged data from all various custom weeks. Giving a more reliable measure of DoW tendencies ('Meta Averages').
-To backtest day-of-week tendencies: across all asset history or across custom user input periods (i.e. consolidation vs trending periods).
-Education: to see how how data from a 'hard-defined-week' may be misleading when seeking statistical evidence of DoW tendencies.
// Notes & Tips:
-Only designed for use on DAILY timeframe.
-Verification table is to make sure HoW / LoW DAY (referencing previous finished week) is printing correctly and therefore the stats table is populating correctly.
-Generally, leaving Timezone input set to "America/New_York" is best, regardless of your asset or your chart timezone. But if misaligned by 1 day =>> tweak this timezone input to correct
-If you want to use manual backtesting period (e.g. for testing consolidation periods vs trending periods): toggle these settings on, then click the indicator display line three dots >> 'Reset Points' to quickly set start & end dates.
// On custom week start days:
-For assets like BTC which trade 7 days a week, this is quite simple. Pick custom start day, use verification table to check all is well. See the start week day & time in said verification table.
-For traditional assets like S&P which trade only 5 days a week and suffer from occasional Holidays, this is a bit more complicated. If the custom start day input is a bank holiday, its custom 'week' will be discounted from the data set. E.g.1: if you choose 'use custom start day' and set it to Monday, then bank holiday Monday weeks will be discounted from the data set. E.g.2: If you choose 'use custom start day' and set it to Thursday, then the Holiday Thursday custom week (e.g Thanksgiving Thursday >> following Weds) would be discounted from the data set.
// On 'Meta Averages':
-The idea is to try and mitigate out the 'continuation bias' that comes from having a fixed week start/end time: i.e. sometimes a market is trending through the week start/end time, so the start/end day stats are over-weighted if one is trying to tease out typical weekly profile tendencies or typical DoW tendencies. You'll notice this if you compare the stats with various custom start days ('bookend' start/end days are always more heavily weighted). I wanted to try to mitigate out this 'bias' by cycling through all the possible new week start/end days and taking an average of the results. i.e. on BTC/USD the 'meta average' for Tuesday would be the average of the Tuesday HoW frequencies from the set of all 7 possible custom weeks(Mon-Sun, Tues-Mon, Weds-Tues, etc etc).
// User Inputs:
~Week Start:
-use custom week start day (default toggled OFF); Choose custom week start day
-show Meta Averages (default toggled ON)
~Verification Table:
-show table, show new week lines, number of new week lines to show
-table formatting options (position, color, size)
-timezone (only for tweaking if printed DoW is misaligned by 1 day)

Machine Learning : Cosine Similarity & Euclidean DistanceIntroduction:
This script implements a comprehensive trading strategy that adheres to the established rules and guidelines of housing trading. It leverages advanced machine learning techniques and incorporates customised moving averages, including the Conceptive Price Moving Average (CPMA), to provide accurate signals for informed trading decisions in the housing market. Additionally, signal processing techniques such as Lorentzian, Euclidean distance, Cosine similarity, Know sure thing, Rational Quadratic, and sigmoid transformation are utilised to enhance the signal quality and improve trading accuracy.
Features:
Market Analysis: The script utilizes advanced machine learning methods such as Lorentzian, Euclidean distance, and Cosine similarity to analyse market conditions. These techniques measure the similarity and distance between data points, enabling more precise signal identification and enhancing trading decisions.
Cosine similarity:
Cosine similarity is a measure used to determine the similarity between two vectors, typically in a high-dimensional space. It calculates the cosine of the angle between the vectors, indicating the degree of similarity or dissimilarity.
In the context of trading or signal processing, cosine similarity can be employed to compare the similarity between different data points or signals. The vectors in this case represent the numerical representations of the data points or signals.
Cosine similarity ranges from -1 to 1, with 1 indicating perfect similarity, 0 indicating no similarity, and -1 indicating perfect dissimilarity. A higher cosine similarity value suggests a closer match between the vectors, implying that the signals or data points share similar characteristics.
Lorentzian Classification:
Lorentzian classification is a machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks. It is based on the Lorentzian distance metric, which measures the similarity or dissimilarity between two data points. The Lorentzian distance takes into account the shape of the data distribution and can handle outliers better than other distance metrics.
Euclidean Distance:
Euclidean distance is a distance metric widely used in mathematics and machine learning. It calculates the straight-line distance between two points in Euclidean space. In two-dimensional space, the Euclidean distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).
Dynamic Time Windows: The script incorporates a dynamic time window function that allows users to define specific time ranges for trading. It checks if the current time falls within the specified window to execute the relevant trading signals.
Custom Moving Averages: The script includes the CPMA, a powerful moving average calculation. Unlike traditional moving averages, the CPMA provides improved support and resistance levels by considering multiple price types and employing a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). Its adaptive nature ensures responsiveness to changes in price trends.
Signal Processing Techniques: The script applies signal processing techniques such as Know sure thing, Rational Quadratic, and sigmoid transformation to enhance the quality of the generated signals. These techniques improve the accuracy and reliability of the trading signals, aiding in making well-informed trading decisions.
Trade Statistics and Metrics: The script provides comprehensive trade statistics and metrics, including total wins, losses, win rate, win-loss ratio, and early signal flips. These metrics offer valuable insights into the performance and effectiveness of the trading strategy.
Usage:
Configuring Time Windows: Users can customize the time windows by specifying the start and finish time ranges according to their trading preferences and local market conditions.
Signal Interpretation: The script generates long and short signals based on the analysis, custom moving averages, and signal processing techniques. Users should pay attention to these signals and take appropriate action, such as entering or exiting trades, depending on their trading strategies.
Trade Statistics: The script continuously tracks and updates trade statistics, providing users with a clear overview of their trading performance. These statistics help users assess the effectiveness of the strategy and make informed decisions.
Conclusion:
With its adherence to housing trading rules, advanced machine learning methods, customized moving averages like the CPMA, and signal processing techniques such as Lorentzian, Euclidean distance, Cosine similarity, Know sure thing, Rational Quadratic, and sigmoid transformation, this script offers users a powerful tool for housing market analysis and trading. By leveraging the provided signals, time windows, and trade statistics, users can enhance their trading strategies and improve their overall trading performance.

This program handles the ability to:
- Overlay Up to 4 moving averages on the chart.
- Change the length of each moving average.
- Adjust optional values for special moving averages
(least squares and Arnaud Legoux)
- Change the color for each moving average.
- Change the type of each moving average individually.
- Change the visibility of each moving average.
- Change the source of the moving averages.
- Set alerts for a cross between any two moving averages.
Candle Information Panel//This indicator shows Day's candle measurements with past averages. First column shows the candle details for the present day.
//"Open - Low", "High - Open", "Range(=High-low)", "Body(open-close)"
//Averages are calculated for occurences of Green and Red days. Up Averages are for Green days and Down Averages are for Red days.
//Average are not perfect calculations since occurences(of Red or Green) will vary within the timespan used for averages.
//This can used to guage general sense of probability of the price movement.
//e.g. if the Open to Low for a day exceeds UpAv value, then there is higher likelihood of day being Red.
//similarly, trade can be held in expectation of price reaching the DnAv and stop loss can be trailed accordingly.
//Not a perfect system. But something to work on further to increase price action understanding.
//Be careful on days where consecutive 3rd Highest High or Lowest Low day is made and also on the next day after such day. Prices may turn direction at least for a short while.

Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator [Alpha Extract]The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator combines the smoothing characteristics of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks with mean reversion analysis to create a powerful momentum oscillator. This indicator applies Heikin-Ashi transformation twice - first to price data and then to the oscillator itself - resulting in smoother signals while maintaining sensitivity to trend changes and potential reversal points.
🔶 CALCULATION
Heikin-Ashi Transformation: Converts regular OHLC data to smoothed Heikin-Ashi values
Component Analysis: Calculates trend strength, body deviation, and price deviation from mean
Oscillator Construction: Combines components with weighted formula (40% trend strength, 30% body deviation, 30% price deviation)
Double Smoothing: Applies EMA smoothing and second Heikin-Ashi transformation to oscillator values
Signal Generation: Identifies trend changes and crossover points with overbought/oversold levels
Formula:
HA Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
HA Open = (Previous HA Open + Previous HA Close) / 2
Trend Strength = Normalized consecutive HA candle direction
Body Deviation = (HA Body - Mean Body) / Mean Body * 100
Price Deviation = ((HA Close - Price Mean) / Price Mean * 100) / Standard Deviation * 25
Raw Oscillator = (Trend Strength * 0.4) + (Body Deviation * 0.3) + (Price Deviation * 0.3)
Final Oscillator = 50 + (EMA(Raw Oscillator) / 2)
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks: Smoothed oscillator representation using HA transformation with vibrant teal/red coloring
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Horizontal lines at customizable levels (default 70/30) with background highlighting in extreme zones
Moving Averages: Optional fast and slow EMA overlays for additional trend confirmation
Signal Dashboard: Real-time table showing current oscillator status (Overbought/Oversold/Bullish/Bearish) and buy/sell signals
Reference Lines: Middle line at 50 (neutral), with 0 and 100 boundaries for range visualization
Interpretation:
Above 70: Overbought conditions, potential selling opportunity
Below 30: Oversold conditions, potential buying opportunity
Bullish HA Candles: Green/teal candles indicate upward momentum
Bearish HA Candles: Red candles indicate downward momentum
MA Crossovers: Fast EMA above slow EMA suggests bullish momentum, below suggests bearish momentum
Zone Exits: Price moving out of extreme zones (above 70 or below 30) often signals trend continuation
🔶 EXAMPLES
Mean Reversion Signals: When the oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 70 or below 30), it identifies potential reversal points where price may revert to the mean.
Example: Oscillator reaching 80+ levels during strong uptrends often precedes short-term pullbacks, providing profit-taking opportunities.
Trend Change Detection: The double Heikin-Ashi smoothing helps identify genuine trend changes while filtering out market noise.
Example: When oscillator HA candles change from red to teal after oversold readings, this confirms potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
Moving Average Confirmation: Fast and slow EMA crossovers on the oscillator provide additional confirmation of momentum shifts.
Example: Fast EMA crossing above slow EMA while oscillator is rising from oversold levels provides strong bullish confirmation signal.
Dashboard Signal Integration: The real-time dashboard combines oscillator status with directional signals for quick decision-making.
Example: Dashboard showing "Oversold" status with "BUY" signal when HA candles turn bullish provides clear entry timing.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Calculation: Oscillator period (default 14), smoothing factor (1-50, default 2)
Levels: Overbought threshold (50-100, default 70), oversold threshold (0-50, default 30)
Moving Averages: Toggle display, fast EMA length (default 9), slow EMA length (default 21)
Visual Enhancements: Show/hide signal dashboard, customizable table position
Alert Conditions: Oversold bounce, overbought reversal, bullish/bearish MA crossovers
The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator provides traders with a sophisticated momentum tool that combines the smoothing benefits of Heikin-Ashi analysis with mean reversion principles. The double transformation process creates cleaner signals while the integrated dashboard and multiple confirmation methods help traders identify high-probability entry and exit points during both trending and ranging market conditions.

Adaptive Candlestick Pattern Recognition System█ INTRODUCTION
Nearly three years in the making, intermittently worked on in the few spare hours of weekends and time off, this is a passion project I undertook to flesh out my skills as a computer programmer. This script currently recognizes 85 different candlestick patterns ranging from one to five candles in length. It also performs statistical analysis on those patterns to determine prior performance and changes the coloration of those patterns based on that performance. In searching TradingView's script library for scripts similar to this one, I had found a handful. However, when I reviewed the ones which were open source, I did not see many that truly captured the power of PineScrypt or leveraged the way it works to create efficient and reliable code; one of the main driving factors for releasing this 5,000+ line behemoth open sourced.
Please take the time to review this description and source code to utilize this script to its fullest potential.
█ CONCEPTS
This script covers the following topics: Candlestick Theory, Trend Direction, Higher Timeframes, Price Analysis, Statistic Analysis, and Code Design.
Candlestick Theory - This script focuses solely on the concept of Candlestick Theory: arrangements of candlesticks may form certain patterns that can potentially influence the future price action of assets which experience those patterns. A full list of patterns (grouped by pattern length) will be in its own section of this description. This script contains two modes of operation for identifying candlestick patterns, 'CLASSIC' and 'BREAKOUT'.
CLASSIC: In this mode, candlestick patterns will be identified whenever they appear. The user has a wide variety of inputs to manipulate that can change how certain patterns are identified and even enable alerts to notify themselves when these patterns appear. Each pattern selected to appear will have their Profit or Loss (P/L) calculated starting from the first candle open succeeding the pattern to a candle close specified some number of candles ahead. These P/L calculations are then collected for each pattern, and split among partitions of prior price action of the asset the script is currently applied to (more on that in Higher Timeframes ).
BREAKOUT: In this mode, P/L calculations are held off until a breakout direction has been confirmed. The user may specify the number of candles ahead of a pattern's appearance (from one to five) that a pattern has to confirm a breakout in either an upward or downward direction. A breakout is constituted when there is a candle following the appearance of the pattern that closes above/at the highest high of the pattern, or below/at its lowest low. Only then will percent return calculations be performed for the pattern that's been identified, and these percent returns are broken up not only by the partition they had appeared in but also by the breakout direction itself. Patterns which do not breakout in either direction will be ignored, along with having their labels deleted.
In both of these modes, patterns may be overridden. Overrides occur when a smaller pattern has been detected and ends up becoming one (or more) of the candles of a larger pattern. A key example of this would be the Bearish Engulfing and the Three Outside Down patterns. A Three Outside Down necessitates a Bearish Engulfing as the first two candles in it, while the third candle closes lower. When a pattern is overridden, the return for that pattern will no longer be tracked. Overrides will not occur if the tail end of a larger pattern occurs at the beginning of a smaller pattern (Ex: a Bullish Engulfing occurs on the third candle of a Three Outside Down and the candle immediately following that pattern, the Three Outside Down pattern will not be overridden).
Important Functionality Note: These patterns are only searched for at the most recently closed candle, not on the currently closing candle, which creates an offset of one for this script's execution. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
Trend Direction - Many of the patterns require a trend direction prior to their appearance. Noting TradingView's own publication of candlestick patterns, I utilize a similar method for determining trend direction. Moving Averages are used to determine which trend is currently taking place for candlestick patterns to be sought out. The user has access to two Moving Averages which they may individually modify the following for each: Moving Average type (list of 9), their length, width, source values, and all variables associated with two special Moving Averages (Least Squares and Arnaud Legoux).
There are 3 settings for these Moving Averages, the first two switch between the two Moving Averages, and the third uses both. When using individual Moving Averages, the user may select a 'price point' to compare against the Moving Average (default is close). This price point is compared to the Moving Average at the candles prior to the appearance of candle patterns. Meaning: The close compared to the Moving Average two candles behind determines the trend direction used for Candlestick Analysis of one candle patterns; three candles behind for two candle patterns and so on. If the selected price point is above the Moving Average, then the current trend is an 'uptrend', 'downtrend' otherwise.
The third setting using both Moving Averages will compare the lengths of each, and trend direction is determined by the shorter Moving Average compared to the longer one. If the shorter Moving Average is above the longer, then the current trend is an 'uptrend', 'downtrend' otherwise. If the lengths of the Moving Averages are the same, or both Moving Averages are Symmetrical, then MA1 will be used by default. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
Higher Timeframes - This script employs the use of Higher Timeframes with a few request.security calls. The purpose of these calls is strictly for the partitioning of an asset's chart, splitting the returns of patterns into three separate groups. The four inputs in control of this partitioning split the chart based on: A given resolution to grab values from, the length of time in that resolution, and 'Upper' and 'Lower Limits' which split the trading range provided by that length of time in that resolution that forms three separate groups. The default values for these four inputs will partition the current chart by the yearly high-low range where: the 'Upper' partition is the top 20% of that trading range, the 'Middle' partition is 80% to 33% of the trading range, and the 'Lower' partition covers the trading range within 33% of the yearly low.
Patterns which are identified by this script will have their returns grouped together based on which partition they had appeared in. For example, a Bullish Engulfing which occurs within a third of the yearly low will have its return placed separately from a Bullish Engulfing that occurred within 20% of the yearly high. The idea is that certain patterns may perform better or worse depending on when they had occurred during an asset's trading range.
Price Analysis - Price Analysis is a major part of this script's functionality as it can fundamentally change how patterns are shown to the user. The settings related to Price Analysis include setting the number of candles ahead of a pattern's appearance to determine the return of that pattern. In 'BREAKOUT' mode, an additional setting allows the user to specify where the P/L calculation will begin for a pattern that had appeared and confirmed. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
The calculation for percent returns of patterns is illustrated with the following pseudo-code (CLASSIC mode, this is a simplified version of the actual code):
type patternObj
int ID
int partition
type returnsArray
float returns
// No pattern found = na returned
patternObj TEST_VAL = f_FindPattern()
priorTestVal = TEST_VAL
if not na( priorTestVal )
pnlMatrixRow = priorTestVal.ID
pnlMatrixCol = priorTestVal.partition
matrixReturn = matrix.get(PERCENT_RETURNS, pnlMatrixRow, pnlMatrixCol)
percentReturn = ( (close - open ) / open ) * 100%
array.push(matrixReturn.returns, percentReturn)
Statistic Analysis - This script uses Pine's built-in array functions to conduct the Statistic Analysis for patterns. When a pattern is found and its P/L calculation is complete, its return is added to a 'Return Array' User-Defined-Type that contains numerous fields which retain information on a pattern's prior performance. The actual UDT is as follows:
type returnArray
float returns = na
int size = 0
float avg = 0
float median = 0
float stdDev = 0
int polarities = na
All values within this UDT will be updated when a return is added to it (some based on user input). The array.avg , array.median and array.stdev will be ran and saved into their respective fields after a return is placed in the 'returns' array. The 'polarities' integer array is what will be changed based on user input. The user specifies two different percentages that declare 'Positive' and 'Negative' returns for patterns. When a pattern returns above, below, or in between these two values, different indices of this array will be incremented to reflect the kind of return that pattern had just experienced.
These values (plus the full name, partition the pattern occurred in, and a 95% confidence interval of expected returns) will be displayed to the user on the tooltip of the labels that identify patterns. Simply scroll over the pattern label to view each of these values.
Code Design - Overall this script is as much of an art piece as it is functional. Its design features numerous depictions of ASCII Art that illustrate what is being attempted by the functions that identify patterns, and an incalculable amount of time was spent rewriting portions of code to improve its efficiency. Admittedly, this final version is nearly 1,000 lines shorter than a previous version (one which took nearly 30 seconds after compilation to run, and didn't do nearly half of what this version does). The use of UDTs, especially the 'patternObj' one crafted and redesigned from the Hikkake Hunter 2.0 I published last month, played a significant role in making this script run efficiently. There is a slight rigidity in some of this code mainly around pattern IDs which are responsible for displaying the abbreviation for patterns (as well as the full names under the tooltips, and the matrix row position for holding returns), as each is hard-coded to correspond to that pattern.
However, one thing I would like to mention is the extensive use of global variables for pattern detection. Many scripts I had looked over for ideas on how to identify candlestick patterns had the same idea; break the pattern into a set of logical 'true/false' statements derived from historically referencing candle OHLC values. Some scripts which identified upwards of 20 to 30 patterns would reference Pine's built-in OHLC values for each pattern individually, potentially requesting information from TradingView's servers numerous times that could easily be saved into a variable for re-use and only requested once per candle (what this script does).
█ FEATURES
This script features a massive amount of switches, options, floating point values, detection settings, and methods for identifying/tailoring pattern appearances. All modifiable inputs for patterns are grouped together based on the number of candles they contain. Other inputs (like those for statistics settings and coloration) are grouped separately and presented in a way I believe makes the most sense.
Not mentioned above is the coloration settings. One of the aims of this script was to make patterns visually signify their behavior to the user when they are identified. Each pattern has its own collection of returns which are analyzed and compared to the inputs of the user. The user may choose the colors for bullish, neutral, and bearish patterns. They may also choose the minimum number of patterns needed to occur before assigning a color to that pattern based on its behavior; a color for patterns that have not met this minimum number of occurrences yet, and a color for patterns that are still processing in BREAKOUT mode.
There are also an additional three settings which alter the color scheme for patterns: Statistic Point-of-Reference, Adaptive coloring, and Hard Limiting. The Statistic Point-of-Reference decides which value (average or median) will be compared against the 'Negative' and 'Positive Return Tolerance'(s) to guide the coloration of the patterns (or for Adaptive Coloring, the generation of a color gradient).
Adaptive Coloring will have this script produce a gradient that patterns will be colored along. The more bullish or bearish a pattern is, the further along the gradient those patterns will be colored starting from the 'Neutral' color (hard lined at the value of 0%: values above this will be colored bullish, bearish otherwise). When Adaptive Coloring is enabled, this script will request the highest and lowest values (these being the Statistic Point-of-Reference) from the matrix containing all returns and rewrite global variables tied to the negative and positive return tolerances. This means that all patterns identified will be compared with each other to determine bullish/bearishness in Adaptive Coloring.
Hard Limiting will prevent these global variables from being rewritten, so patterns whose Statistic Point-of-Reference exceed the return tolerances will be fully colored the bullish or bearish colors instead of a generated gradient color. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
Apart from the Candle Detection Modes (CLASSIC and BREAKOUT), there's an additional two inputs which modify how this script behaves grouped under a "MASTER DETECTION SETTINGS" tab. These two "Pattern Detection Settings" are 'SWITCHBOARD' and 'TARGET MODE'.
SWITCHBOARD: Every single pattern has a switch that is associated with its detection. When a switch is enabled, the code which searches for that pattern will be run. With the Pattern Detection Setting set to this, all patterns that have their switches enabled will be sought out and shown.
TARGET MODE: There is an additional setting which operates on top of 'SWITCHBOARD' that singles out an individual pattern the user specifies through a drop down list. The names of every pattern recognized by this script will be present along with an identifier that shows the number of candles in that pattern (Ex: " (# candles)"). All patterns enabled in the switchboard will still have their returns measured, but only the pattern selected from the "Target Pattern" list will be shown. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
The vast majority of other features are held in the one, two, and three candle pattern sections.
For one-candle patterns, there are:
3 — Settings related to defining 'Tall' candles:
The number of candles to sample for previous candle-size averages.
The type of comparison done for 'Tall' Candles: Settings are 'RANGE' and 'BODY'.
The 'Tolerance' for tall candles, specifying what percent of the 'average' size candles must exceed to be considered 'Tall'.
When 'Tall Candle Setting' is set to RANGE, the high-low ranges are what the current candle range will be compared against to determine if a candle is 'Tall'. Otherwise the candle bodies (absolute value of the close - open) will be compared instead. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
Hammer Tolerance - How large a 'discarded wick' may be before it disqualifies a candle from being a 'Hammer'.
Discarded wicks are compared to the size of the Hammer's candle body and are dependent upon the body's center position. Hammer bodies closer to the high of the candle will have the upper wick used as its 'discarded wick', otherwise the lower wick is used.
9 — Doji Settings, some pulled from an old Doji Hunter I made a while back:
Doji Tolerance - How large the body of a candle may be compared to the range to be considered a 'Doji'.
Ignore N/S Dojis - Turns off Trend Direction for non-special Dojis.
GS/DF Doji Settings - 2 Inputs that enable and specify how large wicks that typically disqualify Dojis from being 'Gravestone' or 'Dragonfly' Dojis may be.
4 Settings related to 'Long Wick Doji' candles detailed below.
A Tolerance for 'Rickshaw Man' Dojis specifying how close the center of the body must be to the range to be valid.
The 4 settings the user may modify for 'Long Legged' Dojis are: A Sample Base for determining the previous average of wicks, a Sample Length specifying how far back to look for these averages, a Behavior Setting to define how 'Long Legged' Dojis are recognized, and a tolerance to specify how large in comparison to the prior wicks a Doji's wicks must be to be considered 'Long Legged'.
The 'Sample Base' list has two settings:
RANGE: The wicks of prior candles are compared to their candle ranges and the 'wick averages' will be what the average percent of ranges were in the sample.
WICKS: The size of the wicks themselves are averaged and returned for comparing against the current wicks of a Doji.
The 'Behavior' list has three settings:
ONE: Only one wick length needs to exceed the average by the tolerance for a Doji to be considered 'Long Legged'.
BOTH: Both wick lengths need to exceed the average of the tolerance of their respective wicks (upper wicks are compared to upper wicks, lower wicks compared to lower) to be considered 'Long Legged'.
AVG: Both wicks and the averages of the previous wicks are added together, divided by two, and compared. If the 'average' of the current wicks exceeds this combined average of prior wicks by the tolerance, then this would constitute a valid 'Long Legged' Doji. (For Dojis in general - SEE LIMITATIONS)
The final input is one related to candle patterns which require a Marubozu candle in them. The two settings for this input are 'INCLUSIVE' and 'EXCLUSIVE'. If INCLUSIVE is selected, any opening/closing variant of Marubozu candles will be allowed in the patterns that require them.
For two-candle patterns, there are:
2 — Settings which define 'Engulfing' parameters:
Engulfing Setting - Two options, RANGE or BODY which sets up how one candle may 'engulf' the previous.
Inclusive Engulfing - Boolean which enables if 'engulfing' candles can be equal to the values needed to 'engulf' the prior candle.
For the 'Engulfing Setting':
RANGE: If the second candle's high-low range completely covers the high-low range of the prior candle, this is recognized as 'engulfing'.
BODY: If the second candle's open-close completely covers the open-close of the previous candle, this is recognized as 'engulfing'. (SEE LIMITATIONS)
4 — Booleans specifying different settings for a few patterns:
One which allows for 'opens within body' patterns to let the second candle's open/close values match the prior candles' open/close.
One which forces 'Kicking' patterns to have a gap if the Marubozu setting is set to 'INCLUSIVE'.
And Two which dictate if the individual candles in 'Stomach' patterns need to be 'Tall'.
8 — Floating point values which affect 11 different patterns:
One which determines the distance the close of the first candle in a 'Hammer Inverted' pattern must be to the low to be considered valid.
One which affects how close the opens/closes need to be for all 'Lines' patterns (Bull/Bear Meeting/Separating Lines).
One that allows some leeway with the 'Matching Low' pattern (gives a small range the second candle close may be within instead of needing to match the previous close).
Three tolerances for On Neck/In Neck patterns (2 and 1 respectively).
A tolerance for the Thrusting pattern which give a range the close the second candle may be between the midpoint and close of the first to be considered 'valid'.
A tolerance for the two Tweezers patterns that specifies how close the highs and lows of the patterns need to be to each other to be 'valid'.
The first On Neck tolerance specifies how large the lower wick of the first candle may be (as a % of that candle's range) before the pattern is invalidated. The second tolerance specifies how far up the lower wick to the close the second candle's close may be for this pattern. The third tolerance for the In Neck pattern determines how far into the body of the first candle the second may close to be 'valid'.
For the remaining patterns (3, 4, and 5 candles), there are:
3 — Settings for the Deliberation pattern:
A boolean which forces the open of the third candle to gap above the close of the second.
A tolerance which changes the proximity of the third candle's open to the second candle's close in this pattern.
A tolerance that sets the maximum size the third candle may be compared to the average of the first two candles.
One boolean value for the Two Crows patterns (standard and Upside Gapping) that forces the first two candles in the patterns to completely gap if disabled (candle 1's close < candle 2's low).
10 — Floating point values for the remaining patterns:
One tolerance for defining how much the size of each candle in the Identical Black Crows pattern may deviate from the average of themselves to be considered valid.
One tolerance for setting how close the opens/closes of certain three candle patterns may be to each other's opens/closes.*
Three floating point values that affect the Three Stars in the South pattern.
One tolerance for the Side-by-Side patterns - looks at the second and third candle closes.
One tolerance for the Stick Sandwich pattern - looks at the first and third candle closes.
A floating value that sizes the Concealing Baby Swallow pattern's 3rd candle wick.
Two values for the Ladder Bottom pattern which define a range that the third candle's wick size may be.
* This affects the Three Black Crows (non-identical) and Three White Soldiers patterns, each require the opens and closes of every candle to be near each other.
The first tolerance of the Three Stars in the South pattern affects the first candle body's center position, and defines where it must be above to be considered valid. The second tolerance specifies how close the second candle must be to this same position, as well as the deviation the ratio the candle body to its range may be in comparison to the first candle. The third restricts how large the second candle range may be in comparison to the first (prevents this pattern from being recognized if the second candle is similar to the first but larger).
The last two floating point values define upper and lower limits to the wick size of a Ladder Bottom's fourth candle to be considered valid.
█ HOW TO USE
While there are many moving parts to this script, I attempted to set the default values with what I believed may help identify the most patterns within reasonable definitions. When this script is applied to a chart, the Candle Detection Mode (along with the BREAKOUT settings) and all candle switches must be confirmed before patterns are displayed. All switches are on by default, so this gives the user an opportunity to pick which patterns to identify first before playing around in the settings.
All of the settings/inputs described above are meant for experimentation. I encourage the user to tweak these values at will to find which set ups work best for whichever charts they decide to apply these patterns to.
Refer to the patterns themselves during experimentation. The statistic information provided on the tooltips of the patterns are meant to help guide input decisions. The breadth of candlestick theory is deep, and this was an attempt at capturing what I could in its sea of information.
█ LIMITATIONS
DISCLAIMER: While it may seem a bit paradoxical that this script aims to use past performance to potentially measure future results, past performance is not indicative of future results . Markets are highly adaptive and often unpredictable. This script is meant as an informational tool to show how patterns may behave. There is no guarantee that confidence intervals (or any other metric measured with this script) are accurate to the performance of patterns; caution must be exercised with all patterns identified regardless of how much information regarding prior performance is available.
Candlestick Theory - In the name, Candlestick Theory is a theory , and all theories come with their own limits. Some patterns identified by this script may be completely useless/unprofitable/unpredictable regardless of whatever combination of settings are used to identify them. However, if I truly believed this theory had no merit, this script would not exist. It is important to understand that this is a tool meant to be utilized with an array of others to procure positive (or negative, looking at you, short sellers ) results when navigating the complex world of finance.
To address the functionality note however, this script has an offset of 1 by default. Patterns will not be identified on the currently closing candle, only on the candle which has most recently closed. Attempting to have this script do both (offset by one or identify on close) lead to more trouble than it was worth. I personally just want users to be aware that patterns will not be identified immediately when they appear.
Trend Direction - Moving Averages - There is a small quirk with how MA settings will be adjusted if the user inputs two moving averages of the same length when the "MA Setting" is set to 'BOTH'. If Moving Averages have the same length, this script will default to only using MA 1 regardless of if the types of Moving Averages are different . I will experiment in the future to alleviate/reduce this restriction.
Price Analysis - BREAKOUT mode - With how identifying patterns with a look-ahead confirmation works, the percent returns for patterns that break out in either direction will be calculated on the same candle regardless of if P/L Offset is set to 'FROM CONFIRMATION' or 'FROM APPEARANCE'. This same issue is present in the Hikkake Hunter script mentioned earlier. This does not mean the P/L calculations are incorrect , the offset for the calculation is set by the number of candles required to confirm the pattern if 'FROM APPEARANCE' is selected. It just means that these two different P/L calculations will complete at the same time independent of the setting that's been selected.
Adaptive Coloring/Hard Limiting - Hard Limiting is only used with Adaptive Coloring and has no effect outside of it. If Hard Limiting is used, it is recommended to increase the 'Positive' and 'Negative' return tolerance values as a pattern's bullish/bearishness may be disproportionately represented with the gradient generated under a hard limit.
TARGET MODE - This mode will break rules regarding patterns that are overridden on purpose. If a pattern selected in TARGET mode would have otherwise been absorbed by a larger pattern, it will have that pattern's percent return calculated; potentially leading to duplicate returns being included in the matrix of all returns recognized by this script.
'Tall' Candle Setting - This is a wide-reaching setting, as approximately 30 different patterns or so rely on defining 'Tall' candles. Changing how 'Tall' candles are defined whether by the tolerance value those candles need to exceed or by the values of the candle used for the baseline comparison (RANGE/BODY) can wildly affect how this script functions under certain conditions. Refer to the tooltip of these settings for more information on which specific patterns are affected by this.
Doji Settings - There are roughly 10 or so two to three candle patterns which have Dojis as a part of them. If all Dojis are disabled, it will prevent some of these larger patterns from being recognized. This is a dependency issue that I may address in the future.
'Engulfing' Setting - Functionally, the two 'Engulfing' settings are quite different. Because of this, the 'RANGE' setting may cause certain patterns that would otherwise be valid under textbook and online references/definitions to not be recognized as such (like the Upside Gap Two Crows or Three Outside down).

Vires In Numeris
RSI+ by WilsonThis is a modified version of my RSI Cloud indicator. You can plot 2 moving averages over RSI. You have the option to plot moving average types like SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HullMA, and ALMA. You also have the option to plot histograms based on any of the moving averages. You can fill colors between RSI and moving averages. Option to add alerts, crossover and crossunder signals are also included. I have also included a band to show the position of RSI using three colors. Green color is shown when RSI is above both the plotted moving averages. Red color is shown when RSI is below both the plotted moving averages. And Yellow color is shown when RSI is between the two plotted moving averages. Anyone is free to use the script. Wishing everyone happy and profitable trading.
CNS - Multi-Timeframe Bollinger Band OscillatorMy hope is to optimize the settings for this indicator and reintroduce it as a "strategy" with suggested position entry and exit points shown in the price pane.
I’ve been having good results setting the “Bollinger Band MA Length” in the Input tab to between 5 and 10. You can use the standard 20 period, but your results will not be as granular.
This indicator has proven very good at finding local tops and bottoms by combining data from multiple timeframes. Use BB timeframes that are lower than the timeframe you are viewing in your price pane.
The default settings work best on the weekly timeframe, but can be adjusted for most timeframes including intraday.
Be cognizant that the indicator, like other oscillators, does occasionally produce divergences at tops and bottoms.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Overview
This indicator is an oscillator that measures the normalized position of the price relative to Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. It takes the price's position within the Bollinger Bands (calculated on different timeframes) and averages those positions to create a single value that oscillates between 0 and 1. This value is then plotted as the oscillator, with reference lines and colored regions to help interpret the price's relative strength or weakness.
How It Works
Bollinger Band Calculation:
The indicator uses a custom function f_getBBPosition() to calculate the position of the price within Bollinger Bands for a given timeframe.
Price Position Normalization:
For each timeframe, the function normalizes the price's position between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands.
It calculates three positions based on the high, low, and close prices of the requested timeframe:
pos_high = (High - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_low = (Low - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_close = (Close - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
If the upper band is not greater than the lower band or if the data is invalid (e.g., na), it defaults to 0.5 (the midline).
The average of these three positions (avg_pos) represents the normalized position for that timeframe, ranging from 0 (at the lower band) to 1 (at the upper band).
Multi-Timeframe Averaging:
The indicator fetches Bollinger Band data from four customizable timeframes (default: 30min, 60min, 240min, daily) using request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to get the latest available data.
It calculates the normalized position (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) for each timeframe using f_getBBPosition().
These four positions are then averaged to produce the final avg_position:avg_position = (pos1 + pos2 + pos3 + pos4) / 4
This average is the oscillator value, which is plotted and typically oscillates between 0 and 1.
Moving Averages:
Two optional moving averages (MA1 and MA2) of the avg_position can be enabled, calculated using simple moving averages (ta.sma) with customizable lengths (default: 5 and 10).
These can be potentially used for MA crossover strategies.
What Is Being Averaged?
The oscillator (avg_position) is the average of the normalized price positions within the Bollinger Bands across the four selected timeframes. Specifically:It averages the avg_pos values (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) calculated for each timeframe.
Each avg_pos is itself an average of the normalized positions of the high, low, and close prices relative to the Bollinger Bands for that timeframe.
This multi-timeframe averaging smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a broader perspective on the price's position within the volatility bands.
Interpretation
0.0 The price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential oversold conditions).
0.15: A customizable level (green band) which can be used for exiting short positions or entering long positions.
0.5: The midline, where the price is at the average of the Bollinger Bands (neutral zone).
0.85: A customizable level (orange band) which can be used for exiting long positions or entering short positions.
1.0: The price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential overbought conditions).
The colored regions and moving averages (if enabled) help identify trends or crossovers for trading signals.
Example
If the 30min timeframe shows the close at the upper band (position = 1.0), the 60min at the midline (position = 0.5), the 240min at the lower band (position = 0.0), and the daily at the upper band (position = 1.0), the avg_position would be:(1.0 + 0.5 + 0.0 + 1.0) / 4 = 0.625
This value (0.625) would plot in the orange region (between 0.85 and 0.5), suggesting the price is relatively strong but not at an extreme.
Notes
The use of lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on ensures the indicator uses the latest available data, making it more real-time, though its effectiveness depends on the chart timeframe and TradingView's data feed.
The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted by changing bb_length ("Bollinger Band MA Length" in the Input tab), bb_mult ("Bollinger Band Standard Deviation," also in the Input tab), or the selected timeframes.

The indicator fetches Bollinger Band data from four customizable timeframes (default: 30min, 60min, 240min, daily) using request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to get the latest available data.
It calculates the normalized position (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) for each timeframe using f_getBBPosition().
These four positions are then averaged to produce the final avg_position:avg_position = (pos1 + pos2 + pos3 + pos4) / 4
This average is the oscillator value, which is plotted and typically oscillates between 0 and 1.
Moving Averages:
Two optional moving averages (MA1 and MA2) of the avg_position can be enabled, calculated using simple moving averages (ta.sma) with customizable lengths (default: 5 and 10).
These can be potentially used for MA crossover strategies.
What Is Being Averaged?
The oscillator (avg_position) is the average of the normalized price positions within the Bollinger Bands across the four selected timeframes. Specifically:It averages the avg_pos values (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) calculated for each timeframe.
Each avg_pos is itself an average of the normalized positions of the high, low, and close prices relative to the Bollinger Bands for that timeframe.
This multi-timeframe averaging smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a broader perspective on the price's position within the volatility bands.
Interpretation:
0.0 The price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential oversold conditions).
0.15: A customizable level (green band) which can be used for exiting short positions or entering long positions.
0.5: The midline, where the price is at the average of the Bollinger Bands (neutral zone).
0.85: A customizable level (orange band) which can be used for exiting long positions or entering short positions.
1.0: The price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential overbought conditions).
The colored regions and moving averages (if enabled) help identify trends or crossovers for trading signals.
Example:
If the 30min timeframe shows the close at the upper band (position = 1.0), the 60min at the midline (position = 0.5), the 240min at the lower band (position = 0.0), and the daily at the upper band (position = 1.0), the avg_position would be:(1.0 + 0.5 + 0.0 + 1.0) / 4 = 0.625
This value (0.625) would plot in the orange region (between 0.85 and 0.5), suggesting the price is relatively strong but not at an extreme.
Notes:
The use of lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on ensures the indicator uses the latest available data, making it more real-time, though its effectiveness depends on the chart timeframe and TradingView's data feed.
The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted by changing bb_length ("Bollinger Band MA Length" in the Input tab), bb_mult ("Bollinger Band Standard Deviation," also in the Input tab), or the selected timeframes.

1. INDICATOR OVERVIEW & CORE FUNCTIONALITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LOI indicator combines multiple VWAP calculations with moving averages across different timeframes. It's designed to show where institutional money is flowing and help identify key support and resistance levels that actually matter in today's markets.
Primary Functions:
- Multi-timeframe VWAP analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
- Advanced moving average integration (EMA, SMA, HMA)
- Real-time trend direction detection
- Institutional flow analysis
- Dynamic support/resistance identification
Target Users: Day traders, swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts seeking comprehensive market structure analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. VWAP FOUNDATION & HISTORICAL CONTEXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historical Development: VWAP started in the 1980s when big institutional traders needed a way to measure if they were getting good fills on their massive orders. Unlike regular price averages, VWAP weighs each price by the volume traded at that level. This makes it incredibly useful because it shows you where most of the real money changed hands.
Mathematical Foundation: The basic math is simple: you take each price, multiply it by the volume at that price, add them all up, then divide by total volume. What you get is the true "average" price that reflects actual trading activity, not just random price movements.
Formula: VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Where typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Institutional Behavior Patterns:
- When price trades above VWAP, institutions often look to sell
- When it's below, they're usually buying
- Creates natural support and resistance that you can actually trade against
- Serves as benchmark for execution quality assessment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME VWAP ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Innovation: Here's where LOI gets interesting. Instead of just showing daily VWAP like most indicators, it displays four different timeframes simultaneously:
**Daily VWAP Implementation**:
- Resets every morning at market open
- Provides clearest picture of intraday institutional sentiment
- Primary tool for day trading strategies
- Most responsive to immediate market conditions
**Weekly VWAP System**:
- Resets each Monday (or first trading day)
- Smooths out daily noise and volatility
- Perfect for swing trades lasting several days to weeks
- Captures weekly institutional positioning
**Monthly VWAP Analysis**:
- Resets at beginning of each calendar month
- Captures bigger institutional rebalancing at month-end
- Fund managers often operate on monthly mandates
- Significant weight in intermediate-term analysis
**Yearly VWAP Perspective**:
- Resets annually for full-year institutional view
- Shows long-term institutional positioning
- Where pension funds and sovereign wealth funds operate
- Critical for major trend identification
Confluence Zone Theory: The magic happens when multiple VWAP levels cluster together. These confluence zones often become major turning points because different types of institutional money all see value at the same price.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVING AVERAGE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-Type Implementation: The indicator includes three types of moving averages, each with its own personality and application:
**Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**:
- React quickly to recent price changes
- Displayed as solid lines for easy identification
- Optimal performance in trending market conditions
- Higher sensitivity to current price action
**Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)**:
- Treat all historical data points equally
- Appear as dashed lines in visual display
- Slower response but more reliable in choppy conditions
- Traditional approach favored by institutional traders
**Hull Moving Averages (HMAs)**:
- Newest addition to the system (dotted line display)
- Created by Alan Hull in 2005
- Solves classic moving average dilemma: speed vs. accuracy
- Manages to be both responsive and smooth simultaneously
Technical Innovation: Alan Hull's solution addresses the fundamental problem where moving averages are either too slow (missing moves) or too fast (generating false signals). HMAs achieve optimal balance through weighted calculation methodology.
Period Configuration:
- 5-period: Short-term momentum assessment
- 50-period: Intermediate trend identification
- 200-period: Long-term directional confirmation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. TREND DIRECTION SIGNAL DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real-Time Momentum Analysis: One of LOI's best features is its real-time trend detection system. Next to each moving average, visual symbols provide immediate trend assessment:
Symbol System:
- ▲ Rising average (bullish momentum confirmation)
- ▼ Falling average (bearish momentum indication)
- ► Flat average (consolidation or indecision period)
Update Frequency: These signals update in real-time with each new price tick and function across all configured timeframes. Traders can quickly scan daily and weekly trends to assess alignment or conflicting signals.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
- Simultaneous daily and weekly trend comparison
- Immediate identification of trend alignment
- Early warning system for potential reversals
- Momentum confirmation for entry decisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. VISUAL DESIGN & DISPLAY FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color Psychology Framework: The color scheme isn't random but based on psychological associations and trading conventions:
- **Blue Tones**: Institutional neutrality (VWAP levels)
- **Green Spectrum**: Growth and stability (weekly timeframes)
- **Purple Range**: Longer-term sophistication (monthly analysis)
- **Orange Hues**: Importance and attention (yearly perspective)
- **Red Tones**: User-defined significance (custom levels)
Adaptive Display Technology: The indicator automatically adjusts decimal places based on the instrument you're trading. High-priced stocks show 2 decimals, while penny stocks might show 8. This keeps the display incredibly clean regardless of what you're analyzing - no cluttered charts or overwhelming information overload.
Smart Labeling System: Advanced positioning algorithm automatically spaces all elements to prevent overlap, even during extreme zoom levels or multiple timeframe analysis. Every level stays clearly readable without any visual chaos disrupting your analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. CUSTOM LEVEL INTEGRATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Defined Level System: Beyond the calculated VWAP and moving average levels, traders can add custom horizontal lines at any price point for personalized analysis.
Strategic Applications:
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers, previous significant highs/lows
- **Technical Levels**: Fibonacci retracements, pivot points
- **Fundamental Targets**: Analyst price targets, earnings estimates
- **Risk Management**: Stop-loss and take-profit zones
Integration Features:
- Seamless incorporation with smart labeling system
- Custom color selection for visual organization
- Extension capabilities across all chart timeframes
- Maintains display clarity with existing indicators
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. REPAINT PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Trading Feature: This addresses one of the most significant issues in live trading applications. Most multi-timeframe indicators "repaint," meaning they display different signals when viewing historical data versus real-time analysis.
Protection Benefits:
- Ensures every displayed signal could have been traded when it appeared
- Eliminates discrepancies between historical and live analysis
- Provides realistic performance expectations
- Maintains signal integrity across chart refreshes
Configuration Options:
- **Protection Enabled**: Default setting for live trading
- **Protection Disabled**: Available for backtesting analysis
- User-selectable toggle based on analysis requirements
- Applies to all multi-timeframe calculations
Implementation Note: With protection enabled, signals may appear one bar later than without protection, but this ensures all signals represent actionable opportunities that could have been executed in real-time market conditions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Day Trading Strategy**:
Focus on daily VWAP with 5-period moving averages. Look for bounces off VWAP or breaks through it with volume. Short-term momentum signals provide entry and exit timing.
**Swing Trading Approach**:
Weekly VWAP becomes your primary anchor point, with 50-period averages showing intermediate trends. Position sizing based on weekly VWAP distance.
**Position Trading Method**:
Monthly and yearly VWAP provide broad market context, while 200-period averages confirm long-term directional bias. Suitable for multi-week to multi-month holdings.
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy**:
The highest-probability setups occur when daily, weekly, and monthly VWAPs cluster together, especially when multiple moving averages confirm the same direction. These represent institutional consensus zones.
Risk Management Integration:
- VWAP levels serve as dynamic stop-loss references
- Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals
- Institutional flow analysis improves position sizing decisions
- Trend direction signals optimize entry and exit timing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. SETUP & CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial Configuration: Start with default settings and adjust based on individual trading style and market focus. Short-term traders should emphasize daily and weekly timeframes, while longer-term investors benefit from monthly and yearly level analysis.
Transparency Optimization: The transparency settings allow clear price action visibility while maintaining level reference points. Most traders find 70-80% transparency optimal - it provides a clean, unobstructed view of price movement while maintaining all critical reference levels needed for analysis.
Integration Strategy: Remember that no indicator functions effectively in isolation. LOI provides excellent context for institutional flow and trend direction analysis, but should be combined with complementary analysis tools for optimal results.
Performance Considerations:
- Multiple timeframe calculations may impact chart loading speed
- Adjust displayed timeframes based on trading frequency
- Customize color schemes for different market sessions
- Regular review and adjustment of custom levels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Advantage: What makes LOI different is its focus on where real money actually trades. By combining volume-weighted calculations with multiple timeframes and trend detection, it cuts through market noise to show you what institutions are really doing.
Key Success Factor: Understanding that different timeframes serve different purposes is essential. Use them together to build a complete picture of market structure, then execute trades accordingly.
The integration of institutional flow analysis with technical trend detection creates a comprehensive trading tool that addresses both short-term tactical decisions and longer-term strategic positioning.

Timeframe-Based Dynamic MA [odnac]
This code is a Timeframe-Based Dynamic MA indicator, written in Pine Script, that dynamically calculates and displays the Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) based on a 24-hour period, according to the selected timeframe. It automatically adjusts the length of the moving averages for each timeframe, showing the appropriate value optimized for that specific timeframe.
Code Explanation:
Settings:
inputLength: A user input that allows setting the base time (24 hours by default). This value determines the reference for calculating the length of the moving averages according to the timeframe.
transp: A setting for the transparency of the moving average lines. It can accept values from 0 to 100 (0 is opaque, 100 is fully transparent).
Timeframe-Based Moving Average Calculation:
The length variable is dynamically calculated based on the current chart's timeframe.
For shorter timeframes like 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 10-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, and 45-minute, the length is calculated by multiplying 60 / selected timeframe to obtain the moving average length based on a 24-hour period.
For longer timeframes like 1 hour, 4 hours, and 1 day, fixed values are used to set the moving average length.
Moving Average Calculation:
sma, ema, vwma: These are the Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average, and Volume Weighted Moving Average calculated based on the length.
else_sma, else_ema, else_vwma: These represent the moving averages fetched from the 1-hour chart. For timeframes that are not calculated directly, the values are taken from the 1-hour chart.
Displaying the Moving Averages:
The moving averages are plotted according to the length calculated for the current timeframe.
If the length for the current timeframe is valid, the corresponding SMA, EMA, and VWMA values are displayed. Otherwise, the values fetched from the 1-hour chart are used.
The moving averages are displayed with the transparency (transp) value set by the user, controlling their opacity on the chart.
How to Use:
Base Time: The user sets a base time. For example, setting inputLength to 24 will calculate the moving average length based on a 24-hour period, which will be dynamically adjusted and displayed according to the selected timeframe.
Transparency Setting: The transparency of the moving average lines can be adjusted using the transp value.
Supported Timeframes:
For shorter timeframes (1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 10-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, 45-minute), the moving average lengths are dynamically calculated and displayed.
For longer timeframes (1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day), fixed length values are used.
This indicator allows you to dynamically calculate daily moving averages across different timeframes and visually check which moving average is the most appropriate for the selected timeframe.

[blackcat] L3 Counter Peacock Spread█ OVERVIEW
The script titled " L3 Counter Peacock Spread" is an indicator designed for use in TradingView. It calculates and plots various moving averages, K lines derived from these moving averages, additional simple moving averages (SMAs), weighted moving averages (WMAs), and other technical indicators like slope calculations. The primary function of the script is to provide a comprehensive set of visual tools that traders can use to identify trends, potential support/resistance levels, and crossover signals.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Input Parameters:
There are no explicit input parameters defined; all variables are hardcoded or calculated within the script.
Calculations:
• Moving Averages: Calculates Simple Moving Averages (SMA) using ta.sma.
• Slope Calculation: Computes the slope of a given series over a specified period using linear regression (ta.linreg).
• K Lines: Defines multiple exponentially adjusted SMAs based on a 30-period MA and a 1-period MA.
• Weighted Moving Average (WMA): Custom function to compute WMAs by iterating through price data points.
• Other Indicators: Includes Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for momentum calculation.
Plotting:
Various elements such as MAs, K lines, conditional bands, additional SMAs, and WMAs are plotted on the chart overlaying the main price action.
No loops control the behavior beyond those used in custom functions for calculating WMAs. Conditional statements determine the coloring of certain plot lines based on specific criteria.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS

RSI based MAGot it! Here’s some information in English specifically about the **RSI-based Moving Average (RSI-based MA)** that we wrote the Pine Script code for:
### RSI-Based Moving Average (RSI-based MA)
An **RSI-based Moving Average (RSI-based MA)** is a technical analysis tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with moving averages to provide more insight into market trends and potential reversals. This indicator can be particularly useful for identifying the beginning and end of trends, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
### How RSI-based MA Works
The RSI-based MA indicator calculates the moving average of the RSI values rather than the asset's price itself. In the script you asked for, we implemented two RSI-based moving averages: one for a 1-minute timeframe and another for a 5-minute timeframe. This dual timeframe approach can help traders spot trends more accurately and identify shifts in momentum across different time periods.
#### Key Features of RSI-based MA:
1. **Dual Timeframe Analysis**:
- The script plots two RSI-based moving averages on the same chart:
- **1-minute RSI-based MA**: A moving average calculated based on RSI values over a 1-minute interval.
- **5-minute RSI-based MA**: A moving average calculated based on RSI values over a 5-minute interval.
- Using different timeframes helps traders see both short-term and longer-term trends simultaneously.
2. **RSI Levels**:
- The RSI-based MA plots values between 0 and 100, similar to the RSI itself. Traders can use typical RSI levels, such as 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold), to identify potential entry and exit points.
- **Overbought condition**: When the RSI-based MA moves above 70, it indicates the asset might be overbought, suggesting a potential for price to drop.
- **Oversold condition**: When the RSI-based MA drops below 30, it signals that the asset might be oversold, indicating a potential price increase.
3. **Crossovers**:
- **Bullish signal**: If the shorter 1-minute RSI-based MA crosses above the longer 5-minute RSI-based MA, this could indicate a new upward trend beginning.
- **Bearish signal**: Conversely, if the 1-minute RSI-based MA crosses below the 5-minute RSI-based MA, it could suggest the beginning of a downward trend.
### Potential Advantages
- **Smoother Trend Identification**: By applying moving averages to RSI, you can smooth out the short-term fluctuations in RSI values, making it easier to identify the underlying trend.
- **Versatility**: The indicator can be customized for different timeframes and settings, allowing it to be tailored to various trading strategies and asset classes.
- **Enhanced Signals**: Combining RSI and moving averages helps filter out noise, providing more reliable signals for potential trend changes or continuations.
### Potential Limitations
- **Lagging Indicator**: Like most moving averages, RSI-based MAs are lagging indicators. They tend to react after price movements have already begun, which could result in delayed signals.
- **False Signals**: In ranging or highly volatile markets, RSI-based MA may give false signals, indicating a trend reversal or continuation that does not occur.
- **Should Not Be Used Alone**: It's often recommended to use RSI-based MA alongside other technical indicators (like MACD, Bollinger Bands, or moving average crossovers) to confirm signals and reduce the risk of false readings.
### Conclusion
The RSI-based MA can be a powerful tool for traders looking to enhance their understanding of market trends and momentum. By combining RSI with moving averages, traders can smooth out RSI readings and gain a clearer view of the market’s direction. However, as with any indicator, it should be used in conjunction with other tools and strategies to maximize its effectiveness and reduce risk.
Pressure Zones with MA [SYNC & TRADE]Description:
The "Pressure Zones with MA " indicator is designed to analyze the pressure of buyers and sellers on the market, as well as to identify areas of increased activity. When designing it, the main task was to see manipulations on the market, when the power of sellers or the power of buyers is in a sideways trend or falling, and the opposite is growing.
Here is a good example. The power of sellers is in a narrow sideways trend, and sales are increasing very aggressively. The power of buyers is in a gray block with the inscription "range". Then we see the fading of the power of sellers and buyers furiously pounce on the asset that has fallen in price.
Here are the main aspects of its operation and use:
First, turn off the moving averages in the indicator settings, on the "style" tab. Choose your favorite asset, which you understand well and know all its ups and downs. I want you to see a clean chart, so that you can be imbued with a new idea, you need to watch it. This is a proprietary indicator and I understand that it does not have the inscription “buy” / “sell”, but believe me, if you pay attention, you will see its strength. I usually add functionality later, but the light code and visualization remain preferable in the first version.
Purpose:
The indicator helps to determine the strength of buyers and sellers in the market.
It visualizes zones where the pressure of buyers or sellers prevails.
Additionally displays moving averages (MA) for data smoothing.
Main components:
Buyer strength chart (blue line)
Seller strength chart (red line)
Moving averages for buyer and seller strength
Threshold line for defining zones
Indicator settings:
Period: defines the base period for calculations (default 89)
Threshold: sets the level for defining pressure zones (from 0 to 2, default 0.8)
MA type for purchases and sales: select the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
MA length for purchases and sales: period for calculating moving averages
Colors for uptrends and downtrends of MA
Moving averages:
Help smooth out data and identify trends
The direction of the MA (up or down) further confirms the current trend
The color of the MA changes depending on the direction (blue for up, red for down)
Now you can turn them on and see how they help in understanding where one or another force is weakening. It is in this case that we see the intersection of forces and the sellers' force is moving aggressively upward. Also, according to the moving average, we see the weakening of the sellers' force. The buyers' force was in the sideways range and then switched on to buy out and also according to the moving average, it is clear where the main interest in purchases disappeared.
Use:
Observe the strength of buyers and sellers relative to each other. They can move simultaneously in one direction, this is regarded as balance
can move in different directions and this will strengthen the upward force of sellers or buyers
You may also notice that the movement of one of the forces will be in a narrow range and the second will grow strongly - this is manipulation or trading without resistance.
You can also play with the threshold line, but it is not the main thing here. I disabled this function in the code.

Описание:
Индикатор "Pressure Zones with MA " предназначен для анализа давления покупателей и продавцов на рынке, а также для определения зон повышенной активности. При его проектировании основная задача была увидеть манипуляции на рынке, когда сила продавцов или сила покупателей стоит в боковике или падает, а противоположная растет.
Вот хороший пример. Сила продавцов стоит в узком боковике, а продажи очень агрессивно усиливаются. Сила покупателей в сером блоке с надписью “range”. Потом мы видим затухание силы продавцов и покупателей яростно накидываются на подешевевший актив.
Вот основные аспекты его работы и использования:
Для начала отключите средние скользящие в настройках индикатора, на закладке “стиль”. Выберите свой любимый актив, в котором вы хорошо разбираетесь и знаете его все взлеты и падения. Я хочу чтобы вы увидели чистый график, для того чтобы вы могли проникнутся новой идеей нужно понаблюдать за ним. Это авторский индикатор и я понимаю что на нем нет надписи “купить” / “продать”, но поверьте уделив свое внимание вы увидите его силу. Я обычно потом добавляю функционал но легкий код и визуализация, в первом варианте остается предпочтительней.
Назначение:
Индикатор помогает определить силу покупателей и продавцов на рынке.
Он визуализирует зоны, где преобладает давление покупателей или продавцов.
Дополнительно отображает скользящие средние (MA) для сглаживания данных.
Основные компоненты:
График силы покупателей (синяя линия)
График силы продавцов (красная линия)
Скользящие средние для силы покупателей и продавцов
Пороговая линия для определения зон
Настройки индикатора:
Период (Period): определяет базовый период для расчетов (по умолчанию 89)
Порог (Threshold): устанавливает уровень для определения зон давления (от 0 до 2, по умолчанию 0.8)
Тип MA для покупок и продаж: выбор типа скользящей средней (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA)
Длина MA для покупок и продаж: период для расчета скользящих средних
Цвета для восходящего и нисходящего трендов MA
Скользящие средние:
Помогают сглаживать данные и выявлять тренды
Направление MA (вверх или вниз) дополнительно подтверждает текущий тренд
Цвет MA меняется в зависимости от направления (синий для восходящего, красный для нисходящего)
Теперь вы можете их включить и посмотреть как они помогают в понимании где ослабевает та или иная сила. Именно в этом случае мы видим пересечение сил и сила продавцов идет агрессивно вверх. Также по средней скользящей мы видим затухание силы продавцов. Сила покупателей стояла в боковике потом включилась на откуп и также по средней скользящей видно где пропал основной интерес к покупкам.
Использование:
Наблюдайте за силой покупателей и продавцов относительно друг друга. Они могут двигаться одновременно в одном направлении это расценивается как баланс
могут двигаться в разных направлениях и это будет усиливать восходящую силу продавцов или покупателей
также возможно вы заметите что движение одной из силы будет в узком диапазоне а вторая будет сильно расти - это манипуляция или торговля без сопротивления.
Также можете поиграть с пороговой линией, но она совершенно не главная здесь. В коде я отключил эту функцию.
// Display zones
//bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
//bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Если захотите включить скопируйте вместо нее
// Display zones
bgcolor(buy_zone ? color.new(color.blue, 90) : na)
bgcolor(sell_zone ? color.new(color.red, 90) : na)
Обращайте внимание на пересечение сил.
Используйте пересечения линий силы и их скользящих средних как потенциальные сигналы
Комбинируйте сигналы индикатора с другими инструментами технического анализа для подтверждения
Ограничения:
Требуется настройка параметров под конкретный торговый инструмент и таймфрейм
Не следует использовать индикатор как единственный инструмент для принятия торговых решений
Помните, что этот индикатор предоставляет дополнительную информацию для анализа рынка, но не является гарантией успешных сделок. Всегда сочетайте его с другими методами анализа и соблюдайте правила управления рисками.
Fear/Greed Zone Reversals [UAlgo]The "Fear/Greed Zone Reversals " indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for TradingView, aimed at identifying potential reversal points in the market based on sentiment zones characterized by fear and greed. This indicator utilizes a combination of moving averages, standard deviations, and price action to detect when the market transitions from extreme fear to greed or vice versa. By identifying these critical turning points, traders can gain insights into potential buy or sell opportunities.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Moving Averages: The indicator allows users to select from various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) for both fear and greed zone calculations, enabling flexible adaptation to different trading strategies.
Fear Zone Settings:
Fear Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Fear Zone calculations.
Fear Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Fear Zone deviation.
Fear Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Fear Zone deviation.
Greed Zone Settings:
Greed Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Greed Zone calculations.
Greed Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Greed Zone deviation.
Greed Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Greed Zone deviation.
Alert Conditions: Integrated alert conditions notify traders in real-time when a reversal in the fear or greed zone is detected, allowing for timely decision-making.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Greed Zone: A Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity.
Fear Zone Reversal: A Fear Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly below the chosen moving average of the selected price source. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards fear, potentially indicating a buying opportunity. When the indicator identifies a reversal from a fear zone, it suggests that the market is transitioning from a period of intense selling pressure to a more neutral or potentially bullish state. This is typically indicated by an upward arrow (▲) on the chart, signaling a potential buy opportunity. The fear zone is characterized by high price volatility and overselling, making it a crucial point for traders to consider entering the market.
Greed Zone Reversal: Conversely, a Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity. When the indicator detects a reversal from a greed zone, it indicates that the market may be moving from an overbought condition back to a more neutral or bearish state. This is marked by a downward arrow (▼) on the chart, suggesting a potential sell opportunity. The greed zone is often associated with overconfidence and high buying activity, which can precede a market correction.
🔶 Why offer multiple moving average types?
By providing various moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) , the indicator offers greater flexibility for traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and market preferences. Different moving averages react differently to price data and can produce varying signals.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Provides an equal weighting to all data points within the specified period.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Gives more weight to recent data points, making it more responsive to price changes.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Allows for custom weighting of data points, providing more flexibility in the calculation.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Considers both price and volume data, giving more weight to periods with higher trading volume.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): A combination of weighted moving averages designed to reduce lag and provide a smoother curve.
Offering multiple options allows traders to:
Experiment: Traders can try different moving averages to see which one produces the most accurate signals for their specific market.
Adapt to different market conditions: Different market conditions may require different moving average types. For example, a fast-moving market might benefit from a faster moving average like an EMA, while a slower-moving market might be better suited to a slower moving average like an SMA.
Personalize: Traders can choose the moving average that best aligns with their personal trading style and risk tolerance.
In essence, providing a variety of moving average types empowers traders to create a more personalized and effective trading experience.

ToxicJ3ster - Day Trading SignalsThis Pine Script™ indicator, "ToxicJ3ster - Signals for Day Trading," is designed to assist traders in identifying key trading signals for day trading. It employs a combination of Moving Averages, RSI, Volume, ATR, ADX, Bollinger Bands, and VWAP to generate buy and sell signals. The script also incorporates multiple timeframe analysis to enhance signal accuracy. It is optimized for use on the 5-minute chart.
Purpose:
This script uniquely combines various technical indicators to create a comprehensive and reliable day trading strategy. Each indicator serves a specific purpose, and their integration is designed to provide multiple layers of confirmation for trading signals, reducing false signals and increasing trading accuracy.
1. Moving Averages: These are used to identify the overall trend direction. By calculating short and long period Moving Averages, the script can detect bullish and bearish crossovers, which are key signals for entering and exiting trades.
2. RSI Filtering: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) helps filter signals by ensuring trades are only taken in favorable market conditions. It detects overbought and oversold levels and trends within the RSI to confirm market momentum.
3. Volume and ATR Conditions: Volume and ATR multipliers are used to identify significant market activity. The script checks for volume spikes and volatility to confirm the strength of trends and avoid false signals.
4. ADX Filtering: The ADX is used to confirm the strength of a trend. By filtering out weak trends, the script focuses on strong and reliable signals, enhancing the accuracy of trade entries and exits.
5. Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands provide additional context for the trend and help identify potential reversal points. The script uses Bollinger Bands to avoid false signals and ensure trades are taken in trending markets.
6. Higher Timeframe Analysis: This feature ensures that signals align with broader market trends by using higher timeframe Moving Averages for trend confirmation. It adds a layer of robustness to the signals generated on the 5-minute chart.
7. VWAP Integration: VWAP is used for intraday trading signals. By calculating the VWAP and generating buy and sell signals based on its crossover with the price, the script provides additional confirmation for trade entries.
8. MACD Analysis: The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are calculated to generate additional buy/sell signals. The MACD is used to detect changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend.
9. Alert System: Custom alerts are integrated to notify traders of potential trading opportunities based on the signals generated by the script.
How It Works:
- Trend Detection: The script calculates short and long period Moving Averages and identifies bullish and bearish crossovers to determine the trend direction.
- Signal Filtering: RSI, Volume, ATR, and ADX are used to filter and confirm signals, ensuring trades are taken in strong and favorable market conditions.
- Multiple Timeframe Analysis: The script uses higher timeframe Moving Averages to confirm trends, aligning signals with broader market movements.
- Additional Confirmations: VWAP, MACD, and Bollinger Bands provide multiple layers of confirmation for buy and sell signals, enhancing the reliability of the trading strategy.
Usage:
- Customize the input parameters to suit your trading strategy and preferences.
- Monitor the generated signals and alerts to make informed trading decisions.
- This script is made to work best on the 5-minute chart.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is not perfect and can generate false signals. It is up to the trader to determine how they would like to proceed with their trades. Always conduct thorough research and consider seeking advice from a financial professional before making trading decisions. Use this script at your own risk.
