Candlesticks Patterns IdentifiedI was using another script that colored the bars to show the different candle patterns. Thanks to HPotter (www.tradingview.com). Unfortunately, I can't think that fast when looking across a screen of charts with different color bars. Fortunately, Tradingview came up with symbols and names on 2/26/15. I decided to take my favorite symbols and attach them to a name. This makes it easier to see what is going on and where your entry would be if it confirms. Works beautifully for me. Decided to share. I also added the ability to alter what shows up based upon a look back. A bullish engulfing at the top of a trend, or a bearish harami at the bottom of the trend, is nearly useless and clutters the chart. I have the default set for the open of the current bar to be higher or lower than the open from 5 bars back. You can adjust in the settings to what you like. This trend setting is on all the patterns except doji. If you want to see all the candle patterns, set it to "1".
The doji can be adjusted as well. I left some other patterns at the bottom of the script, but they are turned off. They became too much of a clutter for me. I prefer DovCaspi's pattern finder for hammers and stars: I use his due to the clean appearance.
The default script has: Doji, Bearish Harami, Bullish Harami, Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Engulfing, Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, Bullish Kicker, and Bearish Kicker. You can turn off what you don't like. The Piercing Line, Bullish Belt, and the Kickers will usually show up better in the daily charts.

Bearish signal using Point of Control (POC) with PAC by guruThis indicator code helps traders identify potential sell opportunities using several important technical indicators:
Point of Control (POC) – This is the price level where the most volume was traded over the past several days.
Previous Day's Low – This shows the lowest price reached during the previous day.
PAC (Price Action Channel) EMA – These are two moving averages (one based on the low price and one based on the close price) that help determine if the price is trending within a certain range.
Volume SMA – This is a 3-day simple moving average (SMA) of volume, which helps filter out signals based on market activity.
What the Script Does:
Point of Control (POC):
The script looks at the last 50 days (configurable) and calculates which price level had the highest trading volume.
It then plots a red line on the chart at the POC level. This is important because it helps identify areas where there was strong market interest in the past.
Volume Moving Average:
The script calculates a 3-day SMA of volume, but it excludes the current day to avoid premature signals based on today’s trading.
The volume SMA is used to ensure there’s enough market activity (with a threshold set to 25 units) before triggering a sell signal.
Price Action Channel (PAC) EMA:
The PAC consists of two exponential moving averages (EMAs):
The PAC Low EMA: This is based on the low prices over the last 34 periods (configurable).
The PAC Close EMA: This is based on the closing prices over the last 34 periods.
These EMAs help determine if the price is trending above or below certain price levels.
Sell Signal Logic: The script checks three conditions before displaying a "Sell" signal:
Price Below POC and Previous Day’s Low:
The close price must be below both the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day's low.
Volume SMA Above 25:
The 3-day volume SMA must be greater than 25. This ensures the signal only triggers when there’s enough trading volume in the market.
Today’s Low is Above PAC EMAs:
Today's low price must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA. This prevents sell signals when prices are already significantly below the PAC, indicating possible exhaustion in the downtrend.
If all three conditions are met, the script will display a red "Sell" label on the chart, signaling a potential selling opportunity.
No Sell Signal if Price Reverses:
If the price crosses back above the POC or the previous day's low, the script will remove the sell signal and reset for a new opportunity.
Summary of Conditions:
For the script to display a "Sell" label:
The close price must be below the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day’s low.
The 3-day volume SMA (excluding today) must be greater than 25 units.
The low price of the current day must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA.
If these conditions are met, a red sell label appears on the chart as a potential signal for a short (sell) trade.

Blvck MMXM + CISD (Unified)Blvck MMXM + CISD (Unified) — Release Brief
What it is
A single indicator that merges the MMXM Bias Panel with Blvck CISD. You get the multi-TF MMXM bias ladder and the wick-based CISD pending/confirmed lines—plus a new CISD row in the panel.
What’s new
Unified script: MMXM panel + CISD visuals in one study.
CISD row: Sits between Strength and 15m; shows Bullish / Bearish / Neutral for the current chart TF (color-coded).
Clean “Keep Old Levels” logic: When OFF, the script keeps only the latest CISD level per side and hard-deletes old lines/labels on completion—no ghosts.
Safe runtime: No mid-bar deletions before updates (prevents runtime handle errors).
Panel features
MMXM row (selectable TF): 1h / 90m / 3h / 4h / 6h / 1D / 1W vote (CISD + PD50 + EMA9 slope + iFVG).
Strength ladder: Caution → Potential → Confident → Confirmed (based on CISD flips across 15m/60m/90m/4h).
TF rows: 15m • 1H • 4H • 1D • 1W with per-row Bullish/Bearish/Neutral coloring.
CISD row (new): Quick bias snapshot for the current chart TF.
CISD visuals
Wick-based pending and confirmed levels with independent style/width settings.
Optional alerts on completion:
Bullish CISD formed (price closes above -CISD).
Bearish CISD formed (price closes below +CISD).
Keep Old CISD Levels toggle:
OFF (default): Only the latest level per side is kept; completed levels are deleted immediately.
ON: Historical CISD levels persist.
Inputs worth noting
Engine: swingLen (CISD pivots), PD50/iFVG toggles, iFVG lookback.
Panel: Position, font size, per-row colors.
MMXM TF: Choose the timeframe that drives the MMXM row.
CISD lines: Pending/confirmed styles, width, extension bars, history retention, alerts.
Usage tips
Sub-1m charts: updates occur on ticks (TradingView limitation). If the feed is sparse, countdowns/rows may appear to “stutter.”
If you prefer the CISD row to mirror last confirmed CISD side instead of HH/LL internal bias, toggle in code (we left it easy to swap).
Version notes
Removed deprecated calc_on_every_tick / repaint_on_intrabar header params (Pine v6).
Fixed runtime deletion race by pruning after creation and on completion only.
Evista FlowHere’s a simple summary of how to use the combined indicator for trade entries:
1. Core Market Conditions (Table)
MODE: Choose your style (Scalp, Day Trade, Swing). This adjusts thresholds for ADX and other logic.
ADX: Look for MODERATE → STRONG trends (20–50).
Below 20 = weak/sideways (avoid entries).
Volume (Vol > MA*x): Prefer entries when volume is UNUSUAL, showing participation.
RSI:
Look for pullbacks in a trend (RSI near 40–60 in strong trends).
Avoid buying when RSI is already overbought (>70–80) or selling when oversold (<30–20).
ATR: Check volatility. Higher ATR = wider stops needed. ATR% helps size positions.
2. Entry Logic
For Longs (BUY idea):
ADX = MODERATE/STRONG.
Vol = UNUSUAL.
RSI = not overbought (ideally 40–60).
ATR shows manageable volatility for your stop size.
For Shorts (SELL idea):
ADX = MODERATE/STRONG.
Vol = UNUSUAL.
RSI = not oversold (ideally 40–60).
ATR confirms room to move.
3. High/Low + Premarket Module (Optional)
Yesterday’s High/Low: Use as support/resistance.
Breakout above yesterday’s high → bullish bias.
Breakdown below yesterday’s low → bearish bias.
Premarket High/Low: Often intraday key levels.
Break and hold above PM High = strong bullish momentum.
Break and hold below PM Low = bearish momentum.
4. Putting it Together
Look for alignment: Trend strength (ADX), volume confirmation, reasonable RSI, and price reacting around Yesterday’s or Premarket levels.
Entry trigger: Enter after price confirms direction (break + retest, or momentum push with volume).
Stops/Targets:
Use ATR to size stops (e.g., 1× or 1.5× ATR).
Targets can be next High/Low or multiples of ATR.
In short: Trade in the direction of trend when ADX and volume confirm, avoid overextended RSI, and use Yesterday’s/Premarket levels plus ATR for entries, stops, and targets.
Blvck MMXM Order Flow Bias Blvck MMXM Bias Panel
Purpose: keep you aligned with intraday order flow (MMXM) while avoiding getting steamrolled by higher-TF shifts. Trade pullbacks with the tide; stand down when structure flips against you.
What it shows
MMXM Bias (selectable TF): “Buy Side / Sell Side / Neutral” derived from a blended vote on your chosen timeframe (1h, 90m, 3h, 4h, 6h, 1D, 1W).
Strength Ladder (structure-only confirmation):
Caution → Potential → Confident → Confirmed, driven by CISD shifts across 15m → 1h → 90m → 4h.
Timeframe Rows: quick read of bias on 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M (same blended method as MMXM row).
How the MMXM vote works
Each selected TF tallies four signals (majority rules):
CISD (structure): +1 if price breaks the most recent swing high, −1 if it breaks the most recent low (swings via swingLen).
EMA(9) slope: rising = +1, falling = −1.
Premium/Discount midline (optional): close above mid = +1, below = −1.
iFVG presence (optional): recent bull gap = +1, bear gap = −1.
Tie → Neutral.
Suggested profiles
Intraday (balanced): MMXM TF 90m, swingLen=5, PD=ON, iFVG=ON (lookback ~20).
Faster (more signals): MMXM TF 1h, swingLen=3–4, PD=ON, iFVG=ON (10–15).
Safer (slower): MMXM TF 4h, swingLen=5–7, PD=ON, iFVG=ON (20–30).
How to use
Trade only in the MMXM direction.
Wait for Strength ≥ Potential (1h) before taking pullback entries.
Confident (90m) → size up; Confirmed (4h) → higher-TF tide with you.
If Confirmed flips against your MMXM, avoid fading—wait for the ladder to realign.
Inputs
MMXM Row Timeframe: 1h / 90m / 3h / 4h / 6h / 1D / 1W
Swing Length (CISD)
Include Premium/Discount (50% midline)
Include iFVG + Lookback
Panel colors & font size (bull/bear/neutral, MMXM row colors, strength colors)
Notes
CISD = “Change in State of Delivery” (swing-based structure breaks).
The Strength Ladder uses structure only to avoid indicator conflict.
No alerts included yet (by design).
Risk disclaimer: This tool is for education only. Not financial advice. Always manage risk and validate with your own process.
Anchor Candle High/Low This indicator automatically marks the High and Low of any chosen anchor candle — at any timeframe and specific London time (DST-safe). It’s designed for traders who use key session levels (e.g., London 9:00 4H, New York open, or Daily open) to frame intraday price structure.
Features
Select any timeframe (5 min, 15 min, 1 H, 4 H, Daily, etc.)
Choose any London-time anchor (e.g., 09:00, 13:00, 00:00)
Draws horizontal High (green) and Low (red) lines
Automatically splits the range into quartiles (0/25/50/75/100 %)
→ Labels adjust directionally (Low→High if bullish, High→Low if bearish)
Option to keep historical lines or only show the latest day
Customisable colours and thickness
Alerts for when price touches or crosses the anchor High/Low
Ideal for
London/NY session traders, ICT-style traders, and anyone analysing structure around key time-based ranges.
Would you like me to include a short tagline (e.g. “Session Range Framework for Smart-Money Traders”) or keep it neutral and formal for the public library?

TGFA Flexible Alerts Multi-MA CrossoversTGFA Flexible Alerts, Multi-MA Crossovers
Description
Flexible MA crossovers with BUY/SELL alerts, customizable candle colors, and an info box for ATR/volatility insights. Supports EMA/SMA/HMA/VWAP on any chart.
Overview
TGFA Flexible Alerts is a versatile Pine Script indicator for traders seeking customizable moving average (MA) crossovers, visual signals, and quick-reference metrics. It overlays crossover lines (e.g., fast EMA over slow SMA), generates BUY/SELL labels and alerts, colors candles based on themes, and includes an optional info box with ATR bands, support/resistance, and trend projections. Built for any symbol and timeframe (optimized for 1H intraday), it auto-detects Heikin Ashi charts and handles mixed MA types like responsive HMA with lagging EMAs. All logic uses built-in TA functions for reliability—no repainting on confirmed bars.
Key Features
MA Crossover Engine: Configurable lines (EMA, SMA, HMA, VWAP) with dynamic colors (HMA tints green/red based on slope). Enable/disable via inputs.
Invert Signals Toggle: Flips BUY/SELL logic for mixed MA setups (e.g., HMA as fast line over EMA).
Reasoning: Traditional crossovers assume a fast line (low lag) crossing above a slow line (high lag) for buys. HMA's hull design makes it ultra-responsive, so it may "lead" too aggressively—causing premature signals. Inverting aligns it with user intuition (e.g., HMA dipping below then recovering signals strength), reducing false positives in trending markets. Test on your pairs!
Visual Alerts: BUY/SELL labels at crossover price (with optional price display and offset adjustment).
Single MA Overlays: Independent plots for EMA/SMA/HMA/VWAP (length 0 to hide).
Info Box: Real-time table with current price, ±1/2 ATR bands, median price (over lookback), trend (SMA50 slope), volatility % (ATR normalized), support/resistance (recent highs/lows), and reversal projections (tied to SMA50 pivot for up/down bias).
Candle Coloring: 20+ themes (dark/light canvases) for bull/bear/reversal/low-volume bars—e.g., Emerald Blaze greens uptrends, dims on low vol. Toggle off for no changes.
Chart Source Flexibility: Auto-switches to Heikin Ashi if detected; manual override for Regular/HA.
Alerts fire on crossovers/crossunders (custom messages with ticker/interval). Open-source for forking.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Search in TradingView's public library, apply to any symbol (e.g., stocks, forex). Best on 1H for intraday, but works on daily/weekly too.
Setup Crossovers: Choose Line 1/2 types/lengths (e.g., HMA 9 over SMA 20). Enable "Invert Signals" if using HMA—prevents lag mismatches in volatile assets.
Alerts & Labels: Toggle labels for visuals; set TradingView alerts on "Buy"/"Sell" conditions. Use offset for crowded charts.
Info Box Insights: Enable for quick scans—e.g., enter long near support if trend is bullish and price > median. Adjust ATR length (default 14) for sensitivity.
Candle Themes: Pick a scheme (e.g., Neon Pulse for dark mode); it overrides bar colors without altering data.
Customization Tip: For HMA-heavy setups, invert + short lengths (5-9) catch turns early; pair with volume filter in alerts.
Limitations & Disclaimers - Designed for overlay on price charts; may overlap in tight ranges—adjust transparency via styles.
HMA can repaint intra-bar; signals confirm on close. Not back tested for all assets—validate with strategy tester.
Info box projections use SMA(50) as a trend pivot (same for up/down as reference); customize via code for advanced calcs. Candle colors are cosmetic only.
This is an analysis tool, not advice. Trading involves risk; combine with fundamentals/news. Past performance isn't indicative of future results. No liability for losses.
I'm still a newbie, so feedback encouraged!

For these exact reasons, we decided to make YinYang Trend. It is a Trend Analysis Toolkit which features many New and many Well Known Trend Analysis Indicators. However, everything in there is added specifically for the reason that it may work well in conjunction with the other Indicators prevalent within. You may be wondering, why bother including common Trend Analysis, why not make everything unique? Ideally, we would, however, you need to remember Trend Analysis may be one of the most common forms of charting. Therefore, many other traders may be using similar Trend Analysis either through plotting manually or within other Indicators. This all boils down to Psychology; you are trading against other traders, who may be seeing some of the similar information you are, and therefore, you may likewise want to see this information. What affects their trading decisions may affect yours as well.
Now enough about Trend Analysis, what is within this Indicator, and what does it do? Well, first let’s quickly mention all of its components, then we will, through a Tutorial, discuss each individually and finally how each comes together as a cohesive whole. This Indicator features many aspects:
Bull and Bear Signals
Take Profit Signals
Bull and Bear Zones
Information Tables displaying: (Boom Meter, Bull/Bear Strength, Yin/Yang State)
16 Cipher Signals
Extremes
Pivots
Trend Lines
Custom Bollinger Bands
Boom Meter Bar Colors
True Value Zones
Bar Strength Indexes
Volume Profile
There are many things to cover within our Tutorial so let's get started, chronologically from the list above.
Tutorial:
Bull and Bear Signals:
We’ve zoomed out quite a bit for this example to help give you a broader aspect of how these Bull and Bear signals work. When a signal appears, it is displaying that there may be a large amount of Bullish or Bearish Trend Analysis occurring. These signals will remain in their state of Bull or Bear until there is enough momentum change that they change over. There are a couple Options within the Settings that dictate when/where/why these signals appear, and this example is using their default Settings of ‘Medium’. They are, Purchase Speed and Purchase Strength. Purchase Speed refers to how much Price Movement is needed for a signal to occur and Purchase Strength refers to how many verifications are required for a signal to occur. For instance:
'High' uses 15 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Medium' uses 10 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Low' uses 5 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Very Low' uses 3 verifications to ensure signal strength.
By default it is set to Medium (10 verifications). This means each verification is worth 10%. The verifications used are also relevant to the Purchase Speed; meaning they will be verified faster or slower depending on its speed setting. You may find that Faster Speeds and Lower Verifications may work better on Higher Time Frames; and Slower Speeds and Higher Verifications may work better on Lower Time Frames.
We will demonstrate a few examples as to how the Speed and Strength Settings work, and why it may be beneficial to adjust based on the Time Frame you’re on:
In this example above, we’ve kept the same Time Frame (1 Day), and scope; but we’ve changed Purchase Speed from Medium->Fast and Purchase Strength from Medium-Very Low. As you can see, it now generates quite a few more signals. The Speed and Strength settings that you use will likely be based on your trading style / strategy. Are you someone who likes to stay in trades longer or do you like to swing trade daily? Likewise, how do you go about identifying your Entry / Exit locations; do you start on the 1 Day for confirmation, then move to the 15/5 minute for your entry / exit? How you trade may determine which Speed and Strength settings work right for you. Let's jump to a lower Time Frame now so you can see how it works on the 15/5 minute.
Above is what BTC/USDT looks like on the 15 Minute Time Frame with Purchase Speed and Strength set to Medium. You may note that the signals require a certain amount of movement before they get started. This is normal with Medium and the amount of movement is generally dictated by the Time Frame. You may choose to use Medium on a Lower Time Frame as it may work well, but it may also be best to change it to a little slower.
We are still on the 15 Minute Time Frame here, however we simply changed Purchase Speed from Medium->Slow. As you can see, lots of the signals have been removed. Now signals may ‘hold their ground’ for much longer. It is important to adjust your Purchase Speed and Strength Settings to your Time Frame and personalized trading style accordingly.
Above we have now jumped down to the 5 Minute Time Frame. Our Purchase Speed is Slow and our Purchase Strength is Medium. We can see it looks pretty good, although there is some signal clustering going on in the middle there. If we change our Settings, we may be able to get rid of that.
We have changed our Purchase Speed from Slow->Snail (Slowest it can go) and Purchase Strength from Medium->Very Low (Lowest it can go). Changing it from Slow-Snail helped get rid of the signal clustering. You may be wondering why we lowered the Strength from Medium->Very Low, rather than going from Medium->High. This is a use case scenario and one you’ll need to decide for yourself, but we noticed when we changed the Speed from Slow->Snail that the signal clustering was gone, so then we checked both High and Very Low for Strengths to see which produced the best looking signal locations.
Please remember, you don’t have to use it the exact way we’ve displayed in this Tutorial. It is meant to be used to suit your Trading Style and Strategy. This is why we allow you to modify these settings, rather than just automating the change based on Time Frames. You’ll likely need to play around with it, as you’ll notice different settings may work better on certain pairs and Time Frames than others.
Take Profit Signals:
We’ve reset our Purchase Settings, everything is on defaults right now at Medium. We’ve enabled Take Profit signals. As you can see there are both Take Profit signals for the Bulls and the Bears. These signals are not meant to be used within automation. In fact, none of this indicator is. These signals are meant to show there has been a strong change in momentum, to such an extent that the signal may switch from its current (Bull or Bear) and now may be a good time to Take Profit. Your Take Profit Settings likewise has a Speed and Strength, and you can set them differently than your Purchase Settings. This is in case you want to Take Profit in a different manner than your Purchase Signals. For instance:
In the example above we’ve kept Purchase Strength and Speed at Medium but we changed our Take Profit Speed from Medium->Snail and our Take Profit Strength from medium->Very Low. This greatly reduces the amount of Take Profit signals, and in some cases, none are even produced. This form of Take Profit may act more as a Trailing Take Profit that if it’s not hit, nothing appears.
In this example we have changed our Purchase Speed from Medium->Fast, our Purchase Strength from Medium->Very Low. We’ve also changed our Take Profit Speed from Snail->Medium and kept our Take Profit Strength on Very Low. Now we may get our signals quicker and likewise our Take Profit may be more rare. There are many different ways you can set up your Purchase and Take Profit Settings to fit your Trading Style / Strategy.
Bull and Bear Zones:
We have disabled our Take Profit locations so that you can see the Bull and Bear Zones. These zones change color when the Signals switch. They may represent some strong Support and Resistance locations, but more importantly may be useful for visualizing changes in momentum and consolidation. These zones allow you to see various Moving Averages; and when they start to ‘fold’ (cross) each other you may see changes in momentum. Whereas, when they’re fully stretched out and moving all in the same direction, it can provide insight that the current rally may be strong. There is also the case where they look like they’re ‘twisted’ together. This happens when all of the Moving Averages are very close together and may be a sign of Consolidation. We will go over a few examples of each of these scenarios so you can understand what we’re referring to.
In this example above, there are a few different things happening. First we have the yellow circle, where the final and slowest Moving Average (MA) crossed over and now all of the MA’s that form the zone are Bullish. You can see this in the white circle where there are no MA’s that are crossing each other. Lastly, within the blue circle, we can see how some of the faster MA’s are crossing under each other. This is a bullish momentum change. The Faster moving MA’s will always be the first ones to cross before the Slower ones do. There is a color scheme in place here to represent the Speed of the MA within the Zone. Light blue is the fastest moving Bull color -> Light Green and finally -> Dark Green. Yellow is the fastest moving Bear color -> Orange and finally -> Red / Dark Red within the Zone.
Next we will review a couple different examples of what Consolidation looks like and why it is very important to look out for. Consolidation is when Most, if not All of the MA’s are very tightly ‘twisted’ together. There is very little spacing between almost all of the MA’s in the example above; highlighted by the white circle. Consolidation is important as it may indicate a strong price movement in either direction will occur soon. When the price is consolidating it means it has had very little upwards or downwards movement recently. When this happens for long enough, MA’s may all get very similar in value. This may cause high volatility as the price tries to break out of Consolidation. Let's look at another example.
Above we have two more examples of what Consolidation looks like and how high Volatility may occur after the Consolidation is broken. Please note, not all Consolidation will create high Volatility but it is something you may want to look out for.
Information Tables displaying: (Boom Meter, Bull/Bear Strength, Yin/Yang State):
Information tables are a very important way of displaying information. It contains 3 crucial pieces of information:
Boom Meter
Bull/Bear Strength
Yin/Yang State
Boom Meter is a meter that goes from 0-100% and displays whether the current price is Dumping (0 - 29%), Consolidating (30 - 70%) or Pumping (71 - 100%). The Boom Meter is meant to be a Gauge to how the price is currently fairing. It is composed of ~50 different calculations that all vary different weights to calculate its %. Many of the calculations it uses are likewise used in other things, such as the Bull/Bear Strength, Bull/Bear Zone MA cross’, Yin/Yang State, Market Cipher Signals, RSI, Volume and a few others. The Boom Meter, although not meant to be used solely to make purchase decisions, may give you a good idea of current market conditions considering how many different things it evaluates.
Bull/Bear Strength is relevant to your Purchase Speed and Strength. It displays which state it is currently in, and the % it is within that state. When a % hits 0, is when the state changes. When states change, they always start at 100% initially and will go down at the rate of Purchase Strength (how many verifications are needed). For instance, if your Purchase Strength is set to ‘Medium’ it will move 10% per verification +/-, if it is set to High, it will move 6.67% per verification +/-. Bull/Bear Strength is a good indicator of how well that current state is fairing. For instance if you started a Long when the state changed to Bull and now it is currently at Bull with 20% left, that may be a good indication it is time to get out (obviously refer to other data as well, but it may be a good way to know that the state is 20% away from transitioning to Bear).
Yin/Yang State is the strongest MA cross within our Indicator. It is unique in the sense that it is slow to change, but not so much that it moves slowly. It isn’t as simple as say a Golden/Death Cross (50/200), but it crosses more often and may hold similar weight as it. Yin stands for Negative (Bearish) and Yang stands for Positive (Bullish). The price will always be in either a state of Yin or Yang, and just because it is in one, doesn’t mean the price can’t/won’t move in the opposite direction; it simply means the price may be favoring the state it is in.
16 Cipher Signals:
Cipher Signals are key visuals of MA cross’ that may represent price movement and momentum. It would be too confusing and hard to decipher these MA’s as lines on a chart, and therefore we decided to use signals in the form of symbols instead. There are 12 Standard and 4 Predictive/Confirming Cipher signals. The Standard Cipher signals are composed of 6 Bullish and 6 Bearish (they all have opposites that balance each other out). There can never be 2 of the same signal in a row, as the Bull and Bear cancel each other out and it's always in a state of one or the other. When all 6 Bullish or Bearish signals appear in a row, very closely together, without any of the opposing signals it may represent a strong momentum movement is about to occur.
If you refer to the example above, you’ll see that the 6 Bullish Cipher signals appeared exactly as mentioned above. Shortly after the Green Circle appeared, there was a large spike in price movement in favor of the Bulls. Cipher signals don’t need to appear in a cluster exactly like the white circle in this photo for momentum to occur, but when it does, it may represent volatility more than if it is broken up with opposing signals or spaced out over a longer time span.
Above is an example of the opposite, where all 6 Bearish Cipher signals appeared together without being broken by a Bullish Cipher signal or being too far spaced out. As you can see, even though past it there was a few Bullish signals, they were quickly reversed back to Bearish before a large price movement occurred in favor of the Bears.
In the example above we’ve changed Cipher signals to Predictive and Confirming. Support Crosses (Green +) and Blood Diamonds (Red ♦) are the normal Cipher Signals that appear within the Standard Set. They are the first Cipher Signal that appears and are the most common ones as well. However, just because they are the first, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a powerful Cipher signal. For this reason, there are Predictive and Confirming Cipher signals for these. The Predictive do just that, they appear slightly sooner (if not the same bar) as the regular and the Confirming appear later (1+ bars usually). There will be times that the Predictive appears, but it doesn’t resort to the Regular appearing, or the Regular appears and the Confirming doesn’t. This is normal behavior and also the purpose of them. They are meant to be an indication of IF they may appear soon and IF the regular was indeed a valid signal.
Extremes:
Extremes are MA’s that have a very large length. They are useful for seeing Cross’ and Support and Resistance over a long period of time. However, because they are so long and slow moving, they might not always be relevant. It’s usually advised to turn them on, see if any are close to the current price point, and if they aren’t to turn them off. The main reason being is they stretch out the chart too much if they’re too far away and they also may not be relevant at that point.
When they are close to the price however, they may act as strong Support and Resistance locations as circled in the example above.
Pivots:
Pivots are used to help identify key Support and Resistance locations. They adjust on their own in an attempt to keep their locations as relevant as possible and likewise will adjust when the price pushes their current bounds. They may be useful for seeing when the Price is currently testing their level as this may represent Overbought or Oversold. Keep in mind, just because the price is testing their levels doesn’t mean it will correct; sometimes with high volatility or geopolitical news, movement may continue even if it is exhibiting Overbought or Oversold traits. Pivots may also be useful for seeing how far the price may correct to, giving you a benchmark for potential Take Profit and Stop Loss locations.
Trend Lines:
Trend Lines may be useful for identifying Support and Resistance locations on the Vertical. Trend Lines may form many different patterns, such as Pennants, Channels, Flags and Wedges. These formations may help predict and drive the price in specific directions. Many traders draw or use Indicators to help create Trend Lines to visualize where these formations will be and they may be very useful alone even for identifying possible Support and Resistance locations.
If you refer to the previous example, and now to this example, you’ll notice that the Trend Line that supported it in 2023 was actually created in June 2020 (yellow circle). Trend Lines may be crucial for identifying Support and Resistance locations on the Vertical that may withhold over time.
Custom Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are used to help see Movement vs Consolidation Zones (When it's wide vs narrow). It's also very useful for seeing where the correction areas may be. Price may bounce between top and bottom of the Bollinger Bands, unless in a pump or dump. The Boom Meter will show you whether it is currently: Dumping, Consolidation or Pumping. If combined with Boom Meter Bar Colors it may be a good indication if it will break the Bollinger Band (go outside of it). The Middle Line of the Bollinger Band (White Line) may be a very strong support / resistance location. If the price closes above or below it, it may be a good indication of the trend changing (it may indicate one of the first stages to a pump or dump). The color of the Bollinger Bands change based on if it is within a Bull or Bear Zone.
What makes this Bollinger Band special is not only that it uses a custom multiplier, but it also incorporates volume to help add weight to the calculation.
Boom Meter Bar Colors:
Boom Meter Bar Colors are a way to see potential Overbought and Oversold locations on a per bar basis. There are 6 different colors within the Boom Meter bar colors. You have:
Overbought and Very Bullish = Dark Green
Overbought and Slightly Bullish = Light Green
Overbought and Slight Bearish = Light Red
Oversold and Very Bearish = Dark Red
Oversold and Slightly Bearish = Orange
Oversold and Slightly Bullish = Light Purple
When there is no Boom Meter Bar Color prevalent there won’t be a color change within the bar at all.
Just because there is a Boom Meter Bar Color change doesn’t mean you should act on it purchase or sell wise, but it may be an indication as to how that bar is fairing in an Overbought / Oversold perspective. Boom Meter Bar Colors are mainly based on RSI but do take in other factors like price movement to determine if it is Overbought or Oversold. When it comes to Boom Meter Bar Color, you should take it as it is, in the sense that it may be useful for seeing how Individual bars are fairing, but also note that there may be things such as:
When there is Very Overbought (Dark Green) or Very Oversold (Dark Red), during massive pump or dumps, it will maintain this color. However, once it has lost ‘some’ momentum it will likely lose this color.
When there has been a massive Pump or Dump, and there is likewise a light purple or light red, this may mean there is a correction or consolidation incoming.
True Value Zones:
True Value zones are our custom way of displaying something that is similar to a Bollinger Band that can likewise twist like an MA cross. The main purpose of it is to display where the price may reside within. Much like a Bollinger Band it has its High and Low within its zone to specify this location. Since it has the ability to cross over and under, it has the ability to specify what it thinks may be a Bullish or Bearish zone. This zone uses its upper level to display what may be a Resistance location and its lower level to display what may be a Support location. These Support and Resistance locations are based on Momentum and will move with the price in an attempt to stay relevant.
You may use these True Values zones as a gauge of if the price is Overbought or Oversold. When the price faces high volatility and moves outside of the True Value Zones, it may face consolidation or likewise a correction to bring it back within these zones. These zones may act as a guideline towards where the price is currently valued at and may belong within.
Bar Strength Indexes:
Bar Strength Indexes are our way of ranking each bar in correlation to the last few. It is based on a few things but is highly influenced on Open/Close/High/Low, Volume and how the price has moved recently. They may attempt to ‘rate’ each bar and how Bullish/Bearish each of these bars are. The Green number under the bar is its Bullish % and the Red number above the bar is its Bearish %. These %’s will always equal 100% when combined together. Bar Strength Indexes may be useful for seeing when either Bullish or Bearish momentum is picking up or when there may be a reversal / consolidation.
These Bar Strength Indexes may allow you to decipher different states. If you refer to the example above, you may notice how based on how the numbers are changing, you may see when it has entered / exited Bullish, Bearish and Consolidation. Likewise, if you refer to the current bar (yellow circle), you can see that the Bullish % has dropped from 93 to 49; this may be signifying that the Bullish movement is losing momentum. You may use these changes in Bar Indexes as a guide to when to enter / end trades.
Volume Profile:
Volume Profile has been something that has been within TradingView for quite some time. It is a very useful way of seeing at what Horizontal Price there has been the most volume. This may be very useful for seeing not only Support and Resistance locations based on Volume, but also seeing where the majority of Limit Orders are placed. Limit Orders are where traders decide they want to either Buy / Sell but have the order placed so the trade won’t happen until the price reaches a certain amount. Either through many orders from many traders, or a single order from a ‘Whale’ (trader with a lot of capital); you may see Support and Resistance at specific Price Points that have large Volume.
Many Volume Profile Indicators feature a breakdown of all the different locations of volume, along with a Point Of Control (POC) line to designate where the most Volume has been. To try and reduce clutter within our already very saturated Toolkit Indicator, we’ve decided to strip our Volume Profile to only display this POC line. This may allow you to see where the crucial Volume Support and Resistance is without all of the clutter.
You may be wondering, well how important is this Volume Profile POC line and how do I go about using it? Aside from it being a gauge towards where Support and Resistance may be within Volume, it may also be useful for identifying good Long/Short locations. If you think of the line as a ‘Battle’ between the Bulls and Bears, they’re both fighting over that line. The Bears are wanting to break through it downwards, and the Bulls are wanting to break through it upwards. When one side has temporarily won this battle, this means they may have more Capital to push the price in their direction. For instance, if both the Bulls and the Bears are fighting over this POC price, that means the Bears think that price is a good spot to sell; however, the Bulls also deem that price to be a good point to buy. If the Bulls were to win this battle, that means the Bears either canceled their orders to reevaluate, or all of their orders have been completed from the Bulls buying them all. What may happen after that is, if the Bulls were able to purchase all of these Limit Sell Orders, then they may still have more Capital left to continue to pressure the price upwards. The same may be true for if the Bears were to win this ‘Battle’.
How to use YinYang Trend as a cohesive whole:
Hopefully you’ve read and understand how each aspect of this Indicator works on its own, as knowing how/what they each do is important to understanding how it is used as a cohesive whole. Due to the fact that this Toolkit of an Indicator displays so much data, you may find it easier to use and understand when you’re zoomed in a little, somewhat like we are in this example above.
If we refer to the example above, you may like us, deduce a few things:
1. The current price may be VERY Overbought. This may be seen by a few different things:
The Boom Meter Bar Colors have been exhibiting a Dark Green color for 6 bars in a row.
The price has continuously been moving the High (red) Pivot Upwards.
Our Boom Meter displays ‘Pumping’ at 100%.
The price broke through a Downward Trend Line that was created in February of 2022 at 45,000 like it was nothing.
The Bar Strength Index hit a Bullish value of 93%.
The Price broke out of the Bollinger Bands and continues to test its upper levels.
The Low is much greater than our fastest moving MA that creates the Purchase Zones.
The Price is vastly outside of the True Value Zone.
The Bar Strength Index of our current bar is 50% bullish, which is a massive decrease from the previous bar of 93%. This may indicate that a correction is coming soon.
2. Since we’ve identified the current price may be VERY Overbought, next we need to identify if/when/to where it may correct to:
We’ve created a new example here to display potential correction areas. There are a few places it has the ability to correct to / within:
The downward Trend Line (red) below the current bar sitting currently at 32,750. This downward Trend Line is at the same price point as the Fastest MA of our Purchase Zone which may provide some decent Support there.
Between two crucial Pivot heights, within a zone of 30,000 to 31,815. This zone has the second fastest MA from the Purchase Zone right near the middle of it at 31,200 which may act as a Support within the Zone. Likewise there is the Bollinger Band Basis which is also resting at 30,000 which may provide a strong Support location here.
If 30,000 fails there may be a correction all the way to the bottom of our True Value Zone and the top of one of our Extremes at 27,850.
If 27,850 fails it may correct all the way to the bottom of our Purchase Zone / lowest of our Extremes at 27,350.
If all of the above fails, it may test our Volume Profile POC of 26,430. If this POC fails, the trend may switch to Bearish and continue further down to lower levels of Support.
The price can always correct more than the prices mentioned above, but considering overall this Indicator is favoring the Bulls, we will tailor this analysis in Favor of the Bullish Momentum maintaining even during this correction. For these reasons, we think the price may correct between the 30,000 and 31,815 zone before continuing upwards and maintaining this Bullish Momentum.
Please note, these correction estimates are just that, they’re estimates. Aside from the fact that the price is very overbought right now and our Bar Strength Index may be declining (bar hasn’t closed yet); the Boom Meter Strength remains at 100%, meaning there may not be much Bearish momentum changes happening yet. We just want to show you how an Preemptive analysis may be done before there are even Bearish Cipher Signals appearing.
Using this Indicator, you may be able to decipher Entry and Exits. In the previous example, we went over how you may use it to see where a correction (Exit / Take Profit) may be and how far this correction may go. In this example above we will be discussing how to identify Entry locations. We will be discussing a Bullish Buy entry but the same rules apply for a Bearish Sell Entry just the opposite with the Cipher Signals.
If you refer to where we circled in white, this is where the Purchase Zones faced Consolidation. When the Purchase Zones all get tight and close together like that, this may represent Volatility and Momentum in either direction may occur soon.
This was then followed by all 6 of the Standard Cipher Signals closely in succession to each other. This means the Momentum may be favoring the Bulls. If this was likewise all 6 of the Bearish Cipher Signals closely in succession, than the momentum change would favor the Bears.
If you were looking for an entry, and you saw Consolidation with the Purchase Zones and then shortly after you saw the Green Circle and Blue Flag (they can swap order); this may now be a good Entry location.
We will conclude this Tutorial here. Hopefully this has taught you how this Trend Analysis Toolkit may help you locate multiple different types of important Support and Resistance locations; as well as possible Entry and Exit locations.
Settings:
1. Bull/Bear Zones:
1.1. Purchase Speed (Bull/Bear Signals and Take Profit Signals):
Speed determines how much price movement is needed for a signal to occur.
'Sonic' uses the extremities to try and get you the best entry and exit points, but is so quick, its speed may reduce accuracy.
'Fast' may attempt to capitalize on price movements to help you get SOME or attempt to lose LITTLE quickly.
'Medium' may attempt to get you the most optimal entry and exit locations, but may miss extremities.
'Slow' may stay in trades until it is clear that momentum has changed.
'Snail' may stay in trades even if momentum has changed. Snail may only change when the price has moved significantly (This may result in BIG gains, but potentially also BIG losses).
1.2. Purchase Strength (Bull/Bear Signals and Take Profit Signals):
Strength ensures a certain amount of verifications required for signals to happen. The more verifications the more accurate that signal is, but it may also change entry and exit points, and you may miss out on some of the extremities. It is highly advised to find the best combination between Speed and Strength for the TimeFrame and Pair you are trading in, as all pairs and TimeFrames move differently.
'High' uses 15 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Medium' uses 10 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Low' uses 5 verifications to ensure signal strength.
'Very Low' uses 3 verifications to ensure signal strength.
2. Cipher Signals:
Cipher Signals are very strong EMA and SMA crosses, which may drastically help visualize movement and help you to predict where the price will go. All Symbols have counter opposites that cancel each other out (YinYang). Here is a list, in order of general appearance and strength:
White Cross / Diamond (Predictive): The initial indicator showing trend movement.
Green Cross / Diamond (Regular): Confirms the Predictive and may add a fair bit of strength to trend movement.
Blue Cross / Diamond (Confirming): Confirms the Regular, showing the trend might have some decent momentum now.
Green / Red X: Gives momentum to the current trend direction, possibly confirming the Confirming Cross/Diamond.
Blue / Orange Triangle: may confirm the X, Possible pump / dump of decent size may be coming soon.
Green / Red Circle: EITHER confirms the Triangle and may mean big pump / dump is potentially coming, OR it just hit its peak and signifies a potential reversal correction. PAY ATTENTION!
Green / Red Flag: Oddball that helps confirm trend movements on the short term.
Blue / Yellow Flag: Oddball that helps confirm trend movements on the medium term (Yin / Yang is the long term Oddball).
3. Bull/Bear Signals:
Bear and Bull signals are where the momentum has changed enough based on your Purchase Speed and Strength. They generally represent strong price movement in the direction of the signal, and may be more reliable on higher TimeFrames. Please don’t use JUST these signals for analysis, they are only meant to be a fraction of the important data you are using to make your technical analysis.
4. Take Profit Signals:
Take Profit signals are guidelines that momentum has started to change back and now may be a good time to take profit. Your Take Profit signals are based on your Take Profit Speed and Strength and may be adjusted to fit your trading style.
5. Information Tables:
Information tables display very important data and help to declutter the screen as they are much less intrusive compared to labels. Our Information tables display: Boom Meter, Purchase Strength of Bull/Bear Zones and Yin/Yang State.
Boom Meter: Uses over 50 different calculations to determine if the pair is currently 'Dumping' (0-29%), 'Consolidating' (30-70%), or 'Pumping' (71-100%).
Bull / Bear Strength: Shows the strength of the current Bull / Bear signal from 0-100% (Signals start at 100% and change when they hit 0%). The % it moves up or down is based on your 'Purchase Strength'.
Yin / Yang state: Is one of the strongest EMA/SMA crosses (long term Oddball) within this Indicator and may be a great indication of which way the price is moving. Do keep in mind if the price is consolidating when changing state, it may have the highest chance of switching back also. Once momentum kicks in and there is price movement the state may be confirmed. Refer to other Cipher Symbols, Extremes, Trend, BOLL, Boom %, Bull / Bear % and Bar colors when Bull / Bear Zones are consolidating and Yin / Yang State changes as this is a very strong indecision zone.
6. Bull / Bear Zones:
Our Bull / Bear zones are composed of 8 very important EMA lengths that may act as not only Support and Resistance, but they help to potentially display consolidation and momentum change. You can tell when they are getting tight and close together it may represent consolidation and when they start to flip over on each other it may represent a change in momentum.
7. MA Extremes:
Our MA Extremes may be 3 of the most important long term moving averages. They don’t always play a role in trades as sometimes they’re way off from the price (cause they’re extreme lengths), but when they are around price or they cross under or over each other, it may represent large changes in price are about to occur. They may be very useful for seeing strong resistance / support locations based on price averages. Extremes may transition from a Support to a Resistance based on its position above or below them and how many times the price has either bounced up off them (Supporting) or Bounced back down after hitting them (Resistance).
8. Pivots:
Pivots may be a very important indicator of support and resistance for horizontal price movement. Pivots may represent the current strongest Support and Resistance. When the Pivot changes, it means a new strong Support or Resistance has been created. Sometimes you'll notice the price constantly pushes the pivot during a massive Pump or Dump. This is normal, and may indicate high levels of volatility. This generally also happens when the price is outside of the Bollinger Bands and is also Over or Undervalued. The price usually consolidates for a while after something like this happens before more drastic movement may occur.
9. Trend Lines:
Trend lines may be one of the best indicators of support and resistance for diagonal price movement. When a Trend Line fails to hold it may be a strong indication of a dump. Keep a close eye to where Upward and Downward Trend Lines meet. Trend lines can create different trading formations known as Pennants, Flags and Wedges. Please familiarize yourself with these formations So you know what to look for.
10. Bollinger Bands (BOLL):
Bollinger Bands may be very useful, and ours have been customized so they may be even more accurate by using a modified calculation that also incorporates volume.
Bollinger Bands may be used to see Movement vs Consolidation Zones (When it’s wide vs narrow). It also may be very useful for seeing where the correction areas are likely to be. Price may bounce between top and bottom of the BOLL, unless perhaps in a pump or dump. The Boom Meter may show you whether it is currently: Dumping, Consolidation or Pumping, along with Boom Meter Bar Colors, may be a good indication if it will break the BOLL. The Middle Line of the BOLL (White Line) may be a very strong support / resistance line. If the price closes above or below it, it may be a good indication of the trend changing (it may be one of the first stages to a pump or dump).
11. Boom Meter Bar Colors:
Boom Meter bar colors may be very useful for seeing when the bar is Overbought or Underbought. There are 6 different types of boom meter bar colors, they are:
Dark Green: RSI may be very Overbought and price going UP (May be in a big pump. NOTICE, chance of small dump correction if Cherry Red bar appears).
Light Green: RSI may be slightly Overbought and price going UP (chance of small pump).
Light Purple: RSI may be very Underbought and price going UP (May have chance of small correction).
Dark Red: RSI may be very Underbought and price going DOWN (May be in a big dump. NOTICE, chance of small pump correction if Light Purple bar appears).
Light Orange: RSI may be slightly Underbought and price going DOWN (chance of small dump).
Cherry Red: RSI may be very Overbought and price going DOWN (Chance of small correction).
12. True Value Zone:
True Value Zones display zones that represent ranges to show what the price may truly belong within. They may be very useful for knowing if the Price is currently not valued correctly, which generally means a correction may happen soon. True Value Zones can swap from Bullish to Bearish and are represented by Red for Bearish and Green for Bullish. For example, if the price is ABOVE and OUTSIDE of the True Value Zone, this means it may be very overvalued and might correct to go back inside the True Value Zone. This correction may be done by either dumping in price back into the zone, or consolidating horizontally back into it over a longer period of time. Vice Versa is also true if it is BELOW and OUTSIDE of the True Value Zone.
13. Bar Strength Index:
Bar Strength Index may display how Bullish/Bearish the current bar is. The strength is important to help see if a pump may be losing momentum or vice versa if a dump may correct. Keep in mind, the Bar Strength Index does a small 'refresh' to account for new bars. It may help to keep the Index more accurate.
14. Volume Profile:
Volume Profiles may be important to know where the Horizontal Support/Resistance is in Price base on Volume. Our Volume Profile may identify the point where the most volume has occurred within the most relevant timeframe. Volume Profiles are helpful at identifying where Whales have their orders placed. The reason why they are so helpful at identifying whales is when the volume is profiled to a specific area, there may likely be lots of Limit Buy and/or Sells around there. Limit Buys may act as Support and Limit Sells may act as Resistance. It may be very useful to know where these lie within the price, similar to looking at Order Book Data for Whale locations.

A Physicist's Bitcoin Trading Strategy
1. Summary
This strategy and indicator were designed for, and intended to be used to guide trading activity in, crypto markets, particularly Bitcoin. This strategy uses a custom indicator to determine the state of the market (bullish vs bearish) and allocates funds accordingly. This particular variation also uses the custom indicator to determine when the market is significantly oversold and takes advantage of the opportunity (it buys the dip). The specific mathematical formula that is used to calculate the underlying custom indicator allows the trader to get in before, or near the start of, the bull trends, and get out before the bear trends. The strategy's properties dialogue box includes many display settings and parameters for optimization and customization to meet the user's needs and risk tolerance; this is both a tool to gauge the market, as well as a trading strategy to beat the market. Guidelines for parameter settings are provided. A sample dataset of backtest results using randomized parameters, both within the guidelines and outside the guidelines, is available upon request; notably, all trials outperformed the intended market (Bitcoin) during the 9-year backtest period.
2. The Indicator and Strategy
2.1. The Indicator
A mathematical formula is used to determine the state of the market according to three different "frequencies", which, for lack of better terminology, are called fast, moderate, and slow indicators. There are two parameters for each of the three indicators, one called response time and the other is a simple look-back period. Finally, four exponential moving averages are used to smooth each indicator. In total, there are 18 different levels of bullishness/bearishness. The purpose of using three indicators, rather than one, is to capture the full character of the market, from a macro/global scope down to a micro/local scope. I.e. the full indicator looks at the forest, the trees, and the branches, simultaneously.
2.2. The Strategy
The trend-trading strategy is very simple; there are only four types of orders: 1) The entire position (e.g. all bitcoins held) is sold (if it hasn't already been totally sold) when the indicator becomes maximally bearish, 2) When the movement of the indicator is in the bullish direction, the strategy dollar-cost-average (DCA) buys at an exponentially decreasing rate, i.e. it buys more in the early stages of the transition from bear->bull. 3) When the indicator is maximally bullish, it goes "all-in" † (if it hasn't already gone all-in), i.e. it converts all available cash into the underlying security/token. And, 4) when the movement of the indicator is in the bearish direction, the strategy DCA sells (again, exponentially decreasing) to get out quickly. No leverage is used in this strategy. The strategy never takes a short position.
A second "buy-the-dip" strategy is also used, and it is the synergy of these two strategies, together, that is responsible for most of the outperformance in the backtests (this strategy handily beats the non-dip-buying variation in backtests). To do this, the custom indicator is used to determine when the market is significantly oversold on a short-term basis, and the strategy responds by DCA buying. However, unlike the DCA buying during bull/bear transitions, the buy-the-dip DCA buying increases with time. Specifically, within each candle that is short-term oversold, the strategy converts 10% x # of candles since becoming oversold (up to a max of 6 candles) of available cash into the underlying security/token. I.e. the first buy is 10% of available cash and occurs in the first oversold candle, the second buy is 20% of available cash and occurs in the second oversold candle, etc. up to six consecutive oversold candles. Lastly, to ensure no conflicting orders and no leverage (buying more than what is affordable with the available cash in the fund), buy-the-dip orders take precedence over the trend-trading orders enumerated in the previous paragraph.
† Technically the strategy goes 99.5% in when it goes "all-in". This is to ensure no leverage is used given that there may be a commission of 0.5%.
3. Backtest Results
Backtest results demonstrate significant outperformance over buy-and-hold. The default parameters of the strategy/indicator have been set by the author to achieve maximum (or, close to maximum) outperformance on backtests executed on the BTCUSD (Bitcoin) chart. However, significant outperformance over buy-and-hold is still easily achievable using non-default parameters. Basically, as long as the parameters are set to adequately capture the full character of the market, significant outperformance on backtests is achievable and is quite easy. In fact, after some experimentation, it seems as if underperformance hardly achievable and requires deliberately setting the parameters illogically (e.g. setting one parameter of the slow indicator faster than the fast indicator). In the interest of providing a quality product to the user, suggestions and guidelines for parameter settings are provided in section (6). Finally, some metrics of the strategy's outperformance on the BTCUSD chart are listed below, both for the default (optimal) parameters as well as for a random sample of parameter settings that adhere to the guidelines set forth in section (6).
Using the default parameters, relative to buy-and-hold strategy, backtested from August 2011 to August 2020,
Total cumulative outperformance (total return of strategy minus total return of buy-n-hold): 13,000,000%.
Rolling 1-year outperformance: mean 318%, median 84%, 1st quartile 55%, 3rd quartile, 430%.
Rolling 1-month outperformance: mean 2.8% (annualized, 39%), median -2.1%, 1st quartile -7.7%, 3rd quartile 13.2%, 10th percentile -13.9%, 90th percentile 24.5%.
Using the default parameters, relative to buy-and-hold strategy, during specific periods,
Cumulative outperformance during the past year (August 2019-August 2020): 37%.
12/17/2016 - 12/17/2017 (2017 bull market) absolute performance of 2563% vs buy-n-hold absolute performance of 2385%
11/29/2012 - 11/29/2013 (2013 bull market) absolute performance of 14033% vs buy-n-hold absolute performance of 9247%
Using a random sample (n=20) of combinations of parameter settings that adhere to the guidelines outlined in section (6), relative to buy-and-hold strategy, backtested from August 2011 to August 2020,
Average total cumulative outperformance, from August 2011 to August 2020: 2,000,000%.
Median total cumulative outperformance, from August 2011 to August 2020: 1,000,000%.
4. Limitations
This strategy is basically a DCA-swing trading strategy, and as such it is intended to be used on the 6-hr chart. Similar performance is expected on daily chart, 12-hr chart, and 4-hr chart, but performance is likely to be limited when used on charts of shorter time-frames. However, due to the flexibility afforded by the large quantity of parameters, as well as the tools included, it may be possible to tweak the indicator settings to get some outperformance on smaller time-frames. Admittedly, the author did not spend much time investigating this.
As is apparent in the backtests, this strategy has very limited absolute performance during large bear markets, such as Bitcoin's 2018 bear market. As described, it does outperform the underlying security by a large amount in backtests, but a large absolute return is unlikely during large and prolonged declines (unless, of course, your unit of account is the underlying token, in which case an outperformance of the underlying is, by definition, an absolute positive return).
This strategy is likely to underperform if used to trade ETFs of broad equity markets. This strategy may produce a small amount of outperformance when used to trade precious metals ETFs, given that the parameters are set optimally by the user.
5. Use
The default parameters have already been set for highly optimal backtest results on the chart of BTCUSD (Bitcoin / US Dollar BITSTAMP), (although, a different combination of parameter settings may yet produce better results). Still, there is a great number of combinations that can be explored, so the user is free to tweak the settings to meet his/her/their needs. Some display options are provided to give the user a visual aid while tweaking the parameters. These include a blue/red background display of the custom indicator, a calibration system, and options to display information about the backtest results. The background pattern represents the various levels of bullishness/bearishness as semi-transparent layers of blue and red, with blue corresponding with bullish and red corresponding with bearish.
The parameters that affect the indicator are the response times, the periods, and some EMA lengths. The parameters that affect the quantity of contracts (tokens/shares/bitcoins/etc) to be bought/sold are the transitionary buy/sell rates. There are also two sets of date parameters.
The response time and period parameters are direct inputs into the underlying math formula and are used to create the base-level indicators (fast, moderate, and slow). The response times control the speed of each of the three indicators (shorter is fast, longer is slower) and the period controls how much historical data is used in computation. Information about how these should be set are included in section (6). Another set of parameters control EMA look-back periods that serve to smooth the base-level indicators. Increasing these EMA lengths makes the overall indicator less sensitive to short-term price action, while reducing them does the opposite. The effect of these parameters are obvious when the background blue/red visualization is displayed. Another EMA length is an EMA for the entire indicator. Increasing this parameter reduces the responsiveness of the trading strategy (buy/sell orders) to quick/small changes of the overall level of the indicator, so as to avoid unnecessary buying and selling in times of relatively small and balanced price perturbations. Note, changing this parameter does not have an effect on the overall indicator itself, and thus will not affect the blue/red background representation.
The transitionary buy/sell rates control the portion of the available asset to be converted to the other. E.g. if the buy rate is set to 90%, then 90% of the available cash will be used to buy contracts/tokens/shares/bitcoins during transitions bullish transitions, e.g. if the available cash at the start of the bullish transition is $10,000 and the parameter is set to 90%, then $9,000 will be used to buy in the first candle during which the transition is bullish, then $900 will be used to buy in the second candle, then $90 in the third candle, etc.
There are two dates that can be set. The first is the date at which the strategy goes all in. This is included because the buy-and-hold strategy is the benchmark against which this strategy is compared, so setting this date to some time before the strategy starts to make trades will show, very clearly, the outperformance of the strategy, especially when the initial capital parameter in the Properties tab is equal to the price of one unit of the underlying security on the date that is set, e.g. all-in on Bitcoin on 8/20/2011 and set initial capital to the BTCUSD price on that date, which was $11.70. The second date is a date to control when the strategy can begin to place trades.
Finally (actually, firstly in the Inputs dialogue box), a set of checkbox inputs controls whether or not the backtest is on or off, and what is displayed. The display options are the blue/red (bull/bear) background layers †, a set of calibrators, a plot of the total strategy equity, a plot of the cash position of the strategy, a plot of the size of the position of the strategy in contracts/shares/units (labeled as BTC position), and a plot of the rolling 1-year performances of buy-and-hold and the strategy.
About the calibrators: The calibration system allows the user to quickly assess and calibrate how well the indicator... indicates. Quite simply, the system has two parts: one plot that is the cumulative sum of the product of the indicator level and the change in the underlying price, i.e. sum of ‡, over all candles. The second part is a similar plot that is reduced according to the quickness with which the indicator changes, i.e. sum of . Maximizing the first plot at the expense of the second will cause the indicator to match the price action very well but therefore it will change very rapidly, from bullish to bearish, which is visualized by a background pattern that changes frequently from blue to red to blue. Ignoring the first plot and maximizing the second will also cause the indicator to more closely match the price action, but the transitions will be slower and less frequent, and will therefore focus on identifying the major trends of the market.
† The blue/red background has many layers and will make the chart lag as the user interacts with it.
‡ Bearish states are coded as negative quantities, so a bearish state x negative price action = positive number, and bullish state x positive price action = positive number.
6. Suggestions and Guidelines
As described in section (2.1), the indicator used in this strategy was designed to determine the state of the market--whether it is bullish or bearish--as well as the change in the state of the market--whether it is increasingly bullish or increasingly bearish. As such, the following suggestions are provided based on the principles of the indicator's design,
1. Response Time 1 should be less than (<) Response Time 2 which should be < Response Time 3
2. Fast Period < Moderate Period < Slow Period
3. In terms of the period of a full market cycle (e.g. ~ 4 years for BTC, ~ 5.5 years for equities, etc.), response times 1, 2, and 3 should be about 0.3% to 1%, 3% to 20%, and 20% to 50% of a full market cycle period, respectively. However, this is a loose guideline.
4. In terms of the period of a full market cycle, periods 1, 2, and 3 should all be about 25% to 75% of a full cycle period. Again, this is a loose guideline.
4. EMA 1 Length < EMA 2 Length < EMA 3 Length < EMA 4 Length
5. EMA Lengths 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be limited to about 1/4th the length of a full market cycle. Note, EMA lengths are measured in bars (candles), not in days. 1/4th of 1000 days is 250 days which is 250 x 4 = 1000 6-hr candles.
The following guidelines are provided based on results of over 100 backtests on the BTCUSD chart using randomized parameters †,
1. 9 days < Response Time 1 < 14 days
2. 5 days < EMA 1 Length < 100 days
3. 600 days < EMA 4 length < 1000 days
4. The ratio of the EMA range (EMA 4 len - EMA 1 len) to the sum of EMA lengths (EMA 1 len + EMA 2 len + ...) be greater than 0.4
5. The ratio of the sum of EMA 1 and EMA 2 lengths to the sum of EMA 3 and EMA 4 lengths be less than 0.3.
A suggestion from the author: Given that backtests show a high degree of outperformance using the guidelines enumerated above, a good trading strategy may be to not rely on any one particular combination of parameters. Rather, a random set of combinations of parameter settings that adhere to the guidelines above could be used to create multiple instances of the strategy in a TradingView chart, each of which varies by a small amount due to their unique parameter settings. The proportion of the entire set of strategy instances that agree about the current state of the market could indicate to the trader the level of confidence of the indicator, in aggregate.
† A sample dataset of backtest results using randomized parameters is available upon request; notably, all trials outperformed the intended market (Bitcoin).
7. General Remarks About the Indicator
Other than some exponential moving averages, no traditional technical indicators or technical analysis tools are employed in this strategy. No MACD, no RSI, no CMF, no Bollinger bands, parabolic SARs, Ichimoku clouds, hoosawatsits, XYZs, ABCs, whatarethese. No tea leaves can be found in this strategy, only mathematics. It is in the nature of the underlying math formula, from which the indicator is produced, to quickly identify trend changes.
8. Remarks About Expectations of Future Results and About Backtesting
8.1. In General
As it's been stated in many prospectuses and marketing literature, "past performance is no guarantee of future results." Backtest results are retrospective, and hindsight is 20/20. Therefore, no guarantee can, nor should, be expressed by me or anybody else who is selling a financial product (unless you have a money printer, like the Federal Reserve does).
8.2. Regarding This Strategy
No guarantee of future results using this strategy is expressed by the author, not now nor at any time in the future.
With that written, the author is free to express his own expectations and opinions based on his intimate knowledge of how the indicator works, and the author will take that liberty by writing the following: As described in section (7), this trading strategy does not include any traditional technical indicators or TA tools (other than smoothing EMAs). Instead, this strategy is based on a principle that does not change, it employs a complex indicator that is based on a math formula that does not change, and it places trades based on five simple rules that do not change. And, as described in section (2.1), the indicator is designed to capture the full character of the market, from a macro/global scope down to a micro/local scope. Additionally, as described in section (3), outperformance of the market for which this strategy was intended during backtesting does not depend on luckily setting the parameters "just right." In fact, all random combinations of parameter settings that followed the guidelines outperformed the intended market in backtests. Additionally, no parameters are included within the underlying math formula from which the indicator is produced; it is not as if the formula contains a "5" and future outperformance would depend on that "5" being a "6" instead. And, again as described, it is in the nature of the formula to quickly identify trend changes. Therefore, it is the opinion of the author that the outperformance of this strategy in backtesting is directly attributable to the fundamental nature of the math formula from which the indicator is produced. As such, it is also the opinion of the author that continued outperformance by using this strategy, applied to the crypto (Bitcoin) market, is likely, given that the parameter settings are set reasonably and in accordance with the guidelines. The author does not, however, expect future outperformance of this strategy to match or exceed the outperformance observed in backtests using the default parameters, i.e. it probably won't outperform by anything close to 13,000,000% during the next 9 years.
Additionally, based on the rolling 1-month outperformance data listed in section (3), expectations of short-term outperformance should be kept low; the median 1-month outperformance was -2%, so it's basically a 50/50 chance that any significant outperformance is seen in any given month. The true strength of this strategy is to be out of the market during large, sharp declines and capitalizing on the opportunities presented at the bottom of those declines by buying the dip. Given that such price action does not happen every month, outperformance in the initial months of use is approximately as likely as underperformance.

🔴 / ⚫ = (Regular/Wide): Watch for Divergences between Price and Momentum.
🟢 (Fired): Expansion started; trade with momentum cross and bias.
Adds context bands at ±1/±2/±3 ATR (“trend / expansion / OB-OS”) to filter late or weak signals.
DSL (Discontinued Signal Lines) give early scalp flips on momentum vs. adaptive bands.
DMI label & triangles communicate trend strength and whether +DI / −DI is in control.
Williams VIX Fix flags capitulation/exhaustion style spikes (with optional VIX proxy).
VTTI/VPCI modules confirm when volume aligns with price trend or contradicts it.
Divergences (regular & hidden) auto-draw with optional live (may repaint) or on-close.
🎢 Squeeze Momentum — How the Logic Works 🎢
The Squeeze Momentum model is built on the principle of volatility compression and expansion. In markets, periods of low volatility are often followed by explosive moves, while high volatility eventually contracts. The “squeeze” seeks to identify these compression phases and prepare traders for the likely expansion that follows.
This indicator achieves that by comparing Bollinger Bands (BB) to Keltner Channels (KC).
Bands: Bollinger vs. Keltner
Bollinger Bands (BB): Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of price and standard deviations (σ) of the closing price. The bands expand and contract depending on volatility.
Keltner Channels (KC): Built from an SMA plus/minus multiples of the Average True Range (ATR). Unlike some simplified squeeze indicators that approximate ATR, this implementation uses a true ATR-based KC, ensuring accuracy across different assets and timeframes.
By comparing whether the Bollinger Bands are inside or outside the Keltner Channels, the indicator identifies different squeeze regimes, each representing a distinct volatility environment.
📦 Regime Colors
The squeeze states are color-coded for quick interpretation:
🔹Wide Squeeze (⚫): BB inside KC with a high ATR multiplier. Extremely low volatility, often before major expansion.
🔹Normal Squeeze (🔴): BB inside KC with a moderate ATR multiplier (about 25% more sensitive than Wide). Typical compression setting.
🔹Narrow Squeeze (🟡): BB inside KC with a lower ATR multiplier (about 50% more sensitive than Wide). Signals tighter compression.
🔹Very Narrow Squeeze (🟣): BB inside KC with the lowest ATR multiplier (100% more sensitive than Wide). Indicates extreme coiling.
🔹Fired Squeeze (🟢): BB break outside KC. Marks the release of volatility and potential trend acceleration.
This multi-layered system improves upon classical SQZPRO by using precisely calculated Keltner Channels and multiple sensitivity levels, giving traders more granular information about volatility states.
🔒 Multi-Timeframe Support
The indicator automatically adjusts squeeze thresholds for different timeframes — hourly, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Each regime has been manually tuned for its timeframe, allowing traders to use the same tool whether scalping, swing trading, or holding longer-term positions.
🎯 Momentum Core
Detecting a squeeze is only half the equation — the indicator also includes a momentum engine to determine direction and strength.
Price momentum is measured as the distance of Close from its Highest High and Lowest Low range, smoothed with a Simple Moving Average, and refined with Linear Regression.
This value is then divided by ATR, normalizing momentum relative to volatility.
Optionally, CVD Mode (Cumulative Volume Delta ÷ Volume) can replace price momentum for assets where order-flow and volume dynamics dominate (e.g., crypto).
🦆 Signal Line
Momentum is paired with a Simple Moving Average signal line:
🔹Bullish: Momentum > Signal.
🔹Bearish: Momentum < Signal.
This crossover logic provides directional bias and filters for false squeezes.
🚀 When to Use Price vs. CVD
CVD Mode (Crypto, FX with tick volume): Best for assets with strong volume/order-flow signals.
Price Mode (Equities, Commodities, Higher TFs): Best for assets with irregular or thin volume data.
🛢️ATR Zones (context filter) 🛢️
Its design is straightforward yet effective: it measures the difference between the current price from its highest highs, lowest lows, and a moving average over a chosen period, then expresses that difference in terms of the Average True Range (ATR) over the same period. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, ATR provides a clear sense of how far and how fast price is moving relative to its “normal” range.
Interpreting the Zone
Positive Values: When it is above zero, price is trading above its HH, LL, and moving average, suggesting bullish momentum. The higher the value, the stronger the momentum relative to volatility.
Negative Values: When the Momentum is below zero, price is trading below its HH, LL, and moving average, signaling bearish momentum. The deeper the reading, the stronger the downside pressure.
Magnitude Matters: Because the Momentum is expressed in ATR units, traders can immediately gauge whether the move is small (less than 1 ATR), moderate (1–2 ATRs), or extreme (3+ ATRs). This makes it especially useful for assessing overbought or oversold conditions in a normalized way.
Strengths:
🔹Volatility-Normalized: Unlike simple squeeze momentum oscillators that have different OB/OS levels, this Momentum adjusts for volatility. This makes signals more consistent across assets with different volatility profiles.
🔹Simplicity:
±1 ATR: trending zone (bulls above +1, bears below −1)
±2 ATR: expansion (keep, add, or trail). Stretch/risk of mean reversion.
±3 ATR: potential exhaustion/mean-revert zone.
🔹Momentum Clarity: By framing momentum in ATR terms, it is easier to distinguish between a small deviation from trend and a genuinely significant move. Sometimes it is a good sign that it trend to ±3/2 ATR, looks for similar directional moves.
Color: The script shades +2/+3 (OB) and −2/−3 (OS) areas and provides swing alerts at ±1 ATR.
💚 What Are Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL)? 💚
In technical analysis, one of the most common tools for smoothing out noisy data is the signal line. This concept appears in many indicators, such as the MACD or stochastic oscillator, where the raw value of an indicator is compared to a smoothed version of itself. The signal line acts as a lagging filter, making it easier to identify shifts in momentum, crossovers, and directional changes.
While useful, the classic signal line approach has limitations. By design, a single smoothed line introduces lag, which means traders may receive signals later than ideal. Additionally, a one-size-fits-all smoothing process often struggles to adapt to different levels of volatility or rapidly changing market conditions.
This is where Discontinued Signal Lines (DSL) come in. DSL is an advanced extension of the traditional signal line concept. Instead of relying on just one smoothed comparison, DSL employs multiple adaptive lines that adjust dynamically to the current state of the indicator. These adaptive lines effectively “discontinue” the dependence on a single, fixed smoothing method, producing a more flexible and nuanced representation of market conditions.
How DSL Works?
Traditional Signal Line: Compares an the Momentum against its own moving average. Provides crossover signals when the raw indicator value moves above or below the smoothed line.
Strength: reduces noise. Weakness: delayed signals and limited adaptability.
DSL Extension: Uses multiple adaptive lines that respond differently to the indicator’s current behavior. Instead of one static moving average, the DSL approach creates faster and slower “reaction lines.” These lines adapt dynamically, capturing acceleration or deceleration in the indicator’s state.
Result: Traders see how momentum is evolving across multiple adaptive thresholds. This reduces false signals and improves responsiveness in volatile conditions.
Benefits of Discontinued Signal Lines
🔹Nuanced Trend Detection
DSL doesn’t just flag when momentum changes direction—it shows the quality of that shift, highlighting whether it is gaining strength, losing steam, or consolidating.
🔹Adaptability Across Markets
Because DSL adjusts to the Momentum’s own dynamics, it works well across different asset classes and timeframes, from equities and futures to forex and crypto.
🔹Earlier Signal Recognition
Multiple adaptive lines allow traders to spot developing trends earlier than with a single smoothed signal line, without being overwhelmed by raw indicator noise.
🔹Better Confirmation
DSL is particularly useful for confirmation. If both adaptive lines agree then a fill is applied in the direction, confidence in the trend is higher as the color turns bull/bear.
🔹Practical Uses
Momentum Trading: Spot acceleration or deceleration in trend strength.
Trend Confirmation: Verify whether a breakout has momentum behind it.
Noise Filtering: Smooth out erratic moves while retaining adaptability.
⚖️ Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) ⚖️
The Directional Movement Index (DMI), created by J. Welles Wilder, is one of the most respected trend-following indicators in technical analysis. It is actually a family of three separate indicators combined into one: the +DI (Positive Directional Indicator), the –DI (Negative Directional Indicator), and the ADX (Average Directional Index). Together, they measure not only whether the market is trending but also the strength of that trend. Traders have used the DMI for decades to identify trend direction, gauge momentum, and filter out periods of market noise.
However, despite its reliability, the traditional DMI can be challenging to interpret. Reading three separate lines at once and extracting meaningful signals requires both experience and careful observation. This complexity often discourages newer traders from fully utilizing its power.
The Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) is a modern reinterpretation of Wilder’s classic tool. It condenses the same information into a single visual line while using color, shape, and density to communicate what’s happening beneath the surface. The goal is simple: make the DMI’s insights faster to read, easier to act upon, and more intuitive to integrate into trading decisions.
Key Features of CDMI
🔹Color Scale for Trend Strength
The main triangle changes its base color depending on the strength of the DI reading. Dark Red or Green, colors correspond to stronger trends, while faded Gray or lighter yellow tones signal weaker or fading trends. This makes it visually clear when the market is consolidating versus trending strongly.
🔹Color Density for Momentum
Beyond strength, the CDMI uses color density to represent momentum in the trend’s strength. If the ADX is rising (trend gaining momentum), the triangles grows more darker. If the ADX is falling (trend losing momentum), the triangle becomes paler. This provides an instant sense of whether a trend is accelerating or decelerating.
🔹Directional Triangles for Trend Direction
To replace the separate +DI and –DI lines, the CDMI plots small triangle shapes along the bottom axis. An upward-facing triangle indicates that +DI is dominant, confirming bullish direction. A downward-facing triangle signals –DI dominance, confirming bearish direction. This way, both strength and direction are shown without the clutter of multiple overlapping lines.
🔹Label Display for Detailed Values
For traders who want precise data alongside the visuals, CDMI includes a label that shows:
Current trend strength (ADX value).
Current +DI and –DI values.
Momentum status of the ADX (rising or falling).
Historical values of DMI readings, so traders can track how the indicator has evolved over time.
Tooltips are also available to explain “How to read the colored DMI line”, making this version more beginner-friendly.
Why CDMI Matters
The CDMI retains the proven reliability of Wilder’s DMI while solving its biggest drawback—interpretation difficulty. Instead of juggling three separate plots, traders get a single, information-rich line supplemented with intuitive shapes and labels. This streamlined format makes trend verification, momentum analysis, and signal confirmation much faster.
For trading applications, the CDMI can help:
Confirm Entries by showing whether the market is trending strongly enough to justify a position.
Avoid False Signals by filtering out periods of low ADX (weak trend).
Enhance Timing by tracking momentum shifts in trend strength.
By simplifying the complexity of the original DMI into an elegant, color-coded tool, the CDMI makes one of technical analysis’ most advanced indicators practical for everyday use.
😅 The VIX, the Williams Vix Fix, and Market Bottoms 😎
The VIX, formally known as the CBOE Volatility Index, has long been considered one of the most reliable indicators for spotting major market bottoms. Often referred to as the “fear gauge,” it measures the market’s expectation of volatility in the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. When fear grips investors and volatility spikes, the VIX rises sharply. Historically, these moments of extreme fear often coincide with powerful buying opportunities, as markets have a tendency to rebound once panic selling exhausts itself.
Larry Williams, a well-known trader and author, developed the Williams Vix Fix as a way to replicate the insights of the VIX across any tradable asset. While the VIX itself is tied specifically to S&P 500 options, Williams wanted a tool that could capture similar panic-driven dynamics in stocks, futures, forex, and other markets where the VIX is not directly applicable. His “fix” uses price action and volatility formulas to approximate the same emotional extremes reflected in the official VIX, creating almost identical results in practice. This makes the Williams Vix Fix a powerful addition to the trader’s toolbox, allowing the same principle that works on U.S. equities to be applied universally.
One of the most important characteristics of both the VIX and the Williams Vix Fix is that they are far more reliable at signaling market bottoms than market tops. The reason is psychological as much as it is mathematical. At market bottoms, fear and panic are widespread. Retail investors often capitulate, selling in a frenzy as prices drop. This panic drives volatility higher, producing the spikes we see in the VIX. At the same time, professional traders and institutions—those with larger capital and more disciplined strategies—tend to step in when volatility is stretched. They buy when others are fearful, using the panic of retail investors as an opportunity to acquire assets at discounted prices. This confluence of retail panic and institutional buying power is what makes the VIX such a strong bottom-finding tool.
In contrast, at market tops, the dynamic is very different. Tops tend not to be marked by panic or fear. Instead, they form quietly as enthusiasm fades, liquidity dries up, and buying interest wanes. Investors are often complacent, assuming prices will continue to rise, while professional money begins distributing their positions. Because there is no surge in fear, volatility remains muted, and the VIX does not offer a clear warning. This is why traders who rely on the VIX or the Williams Vix Fix must understand its limitations: it is exceptional for detecting bottoms but less useful for anticipating tops.
For traders, the lesson is straightforward. When you see the VIX or Williams Vix Fix spiking to extreme levels, it often indicates a high-probability environment for a rebound. These tools should not be used in isolation, but when combined with support levels, sentiment indicators, and market breadth, they can provide some of the most reliable bottom-fishing signals available. While no indicator is perfect, few have stood the test of time as consistently as the VIX—and thanks to Williams’ adaptation, its power can now be applied to nearly every market.
Indicator Signals (Great in risk-off charts):
🔹Flags spike events (tops/bottoms) with both original and filtered (AE/FE) criteria.
🔹Great as a risk overlay: tighten stops into AE/FE, or require “no spike” to enter.
🤯 Volume Comfirmation: VTTI & VPCI (Buff Dormeier) 🤯
Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI)
The Volume Trend Technical Indicator (VTTI) is a momentum-style tool that analyzes how volume trends interact with price movement. Unlike basic volume measures that simply report how many shares or contracts were traded, the VTTI evaluates whether volume is expanding or contracting in the same direction as the prevailing price trend. The underlying logic is that healthy trends are supported by rising volume, while weakening trends often occur on shrinking volume.
At its core, VTTI looks at the rate of change in volume compared to price movements. By smoothing and normalizing these relationships, the indicator helps traders determine whether momentum is accelerating, decelerating, or diverging.
Rising VTTI: Suggests that volume is confirming the current price trend, strengthening the case for continuation. Flips BG Green after crossing it's signal.
Falling VTTI: Indicates that the trend may be losing participation, often a sign of possible consolidation or reversal. Flips BG Red after crossing it's signal.
Traders often use VTTI to filter entries and exits. For example, if price breaks out but VTTI does not rise above zero, the breakout may lack conviction. On the other hand, when both price and VTTI are aligned, probability of continuation improves.
Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI)
The Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), developed by Buff Dormeier, takes the relationship between price and volume a step further. While traditional indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Chaikin Money Flow look at cumulative patterns, VPCI breaks price and volume into trend and volatility components and then recombines them to measure how well they confirm each other.
In essence, VPCI asks: “Does volume confirm what price is signaling?”
The formula integrates:
Price Trend Component – whether the market is trending upward or downward.
Volume Trend Component – whether trading activity supports that price trend.
Volatility Adjustments – to account for irregular swings.
The resulting oscillator fluctuates around a zero line:
Positive VPCI: Indicates that price and volume trends are in agreement (bullish confirmation).
Negative VPCI: Suggests that price and volume are diverging (bearish warning or false move).
Crossovers of Zero: Can serve as potential buy or sell signals, depending on context.
A key strength of VPCI is its sensitivity to divergence. When prices continue rising but VPCI begins falling, it often foreshadows a weakening rally. Conversely, a rising VPCI during a flat or down market can highlight early accumulation.
VTTI (Entry Signal) vs. VPCI (Exit Signal)
While both indicators study price-volume dynamics, their focus differs:
VTTI is simpler, emphasizing the trend of volume relative to price for momentum confirmation.
VPCI is more advanced, decomposing both price and volume into multiple components to produce a nuanced oscillator.
Used together, they provide complementary insights. VTTI helps quickly spot whether volume is supporting a move, while VPCI offers deeper confirmation and highlights subtle divergences.
Note: The Up/Down Volume Alert works better on the 4 HR, for Daily scalps or 30 minute for HR scalps. Intraday it's 2/10 minute.
🦅 Divergence toolkit 🦅
Divergences in Technical Analysis
Divergence occurs when the price action of an asset moves in one direction while a technical indicator, such as RSI, MACD, or Momentum, moves in the opposite direction. This disagreement between price and indicator often signals a shift in underlying market dynamics. Traders use divergences to anticipate either potential reversals or continuations in trends.
There are two main types of divergences: regular divergences, which typically precede reversals, and hidden divergences, which suggest continuation of the current trend.
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signals)
A regular divergence occurs when price and indicator disagree during a trend extension. These divergences signal that momentum is no longer fully supporting the current trend and that a reversal may be imminent.
🔹Regular Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower low.
Indicator: Forms a higher low.
Interpretation: Price is making new lows, but the indicator is gaining strength. This suggests that selling pressure is weakening, and a reversal to the upside may occur.
Example: RSI rising while price dips to fresh lows.
🔹Regular Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher high.
Indicator: Forms a lower high.
Interpretation: Price is reaching new highs, but the indicator shows weakening momentum. This implies that buying pressure is fading, warning of a potential downside reversal.
Example: MACD histogram falling while price makes higher highs.
Regular divergences are often spotted near the end of trends and are most powerful when aligned with key support/resistance levels or overbought/oversold conditions.
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signals)
A hidden divergence occurs during retracements within a trend. Unlike regular divergences, hidden divergences suggest that the prevailing trend still has strength and is likely to continue.
🔹Hidden Bullish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a higher low.
Indicator: Forms a lower low.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within an uptrend, but the indicator is overshooting downward. This shows that momentum remains intact, supporting continuation upward.
🔹Hidden Bearish Divergence
Price Action: Forms a lower high.
Indicator: Forms a higher high.
Interpretation: Price is retracing within a downtrend, while the indicator overshoots upward. This indicates that bearish momentum remains strong, supporting continuation downward.
Hidden divergences often appear during pullbacks, helping traders time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Practical Use of Divergences
🔹Trend Reversal Alerts – Regular divergences are early warnings that a trend may be ending.
🔹Trend Continuation Signals – Hidden divergences help confirm that retracements are simply pauses, not full reversals.
🔹Confluence with Other Tools – Divergences are more reliable when combined with support/resistance, candlestick patterns, or volume analysis.
🔹Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Spotting divergences on higher timeframes often produces stronger signals.

VTTI/VPCI: Fast/slow/signal (VTTI), Short/Long (VPCI), and volume source (Tick/CVD/NVI/PVI/OBV/PVT/AccDist/VWAP).
Divergences: Regular/Hidden toggles, Sensitivity %, Lifetime, Live vs On-Close, Lines/Labels.
🔎 Suggested defaults (feel free to tweak)
Calibration: Size Momentum, so that when it's above zero the asset is trending up. For the signal, it can be kept the same or lower.
Intraday (60–240m): σ = 2.0, 18~20, 3~5, DSL Fast, DMI key 23, weak 17.
Daily/Weekly: keep σ = 2.0, consider DSL Slow, DMI key 25, weak 20, widen ATR filters; lean on VPCI/VTTI (4-HR).
CVD mode: use where tick/volume quality is high (index futures, liquid equities, crypto majors).
🪟 Tips & caveats
Swing Screener: Favor liquid underlyings (index futures/ETFs, large caps). Large-Cap, 2 M Vol, Mid-Cap, 500K Vol. Squeeze: BB( 20) upper < KC (20) upper, and BB (20) lower > KC (20) lower. Optional: Price above 9 SMA, 21 SMA, and 50 SMA, they are my SMA of choice. 200 SMA too, unless you are willing to fish in a bear market. Vice-versa for shorts. Optional: ADX 4 HR > 17, or 23 depending on what you are looking for.
Scalp Screener: Same as above, change the D 9 SMA to 5, and the BB/KC from D to 1 HR. Scalps may last 2~3 days.
Position Screener: Change all daily setting to W, aside from Volume. Optional: PEG < 1.5, FCF > 0, ROA > 8% or ROE > 6%.
Good with Moving averages (9/21/50) and low-volume zones.
Position size by IV, ATR, and account risk. Consider stop/hedge rules around ±2/±3 ATR.
Let alerts stage your watchlist; act only on combined squeeze + momentum signals.
Divergences in live mode can repaint (Real-Time); for algo or alerts, use on-close.
Tight/Very tight squeezes are great for scalps but choppy; combine with DMI rising + VPCI>0.
±3 ATR is exhaustion context, not an auto-fade—look for WVF/Div/DSL confirmation.
For alerts, pair “Fired Squeeze + Bullish Swing” (or bearish) to avoid false starts.
🎯 How to Trade Entry ~ Recap:
Tight/very tight squeeze → fires → momentum crosses up (or DSL bull).
Exit/Flip: Momentum crosses down into/after expansion or hits +2/+3 ATR with fade signs. Filter: Avoid fresh longs at +3 ATR; avoid fresh shorts at −3 ATR unless fading with confirmation.
📐 Options Integrations
✅ Risk Reversal/Modified Risk Reversal (Bullish: Short Put + Long Call)
Use when: Squeeze fires up from 🟡/🟣 and momentum crosses above signal (or zero/DSL).
Playbook Entry: On or just after the bullish fire and momentum upcross. DMI or Volume supports trend as well.
Structure: Sell a put at/just below the −2 ATR reference (or recent swing support). Buy a call at/above the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
A classic risk reversal is a long call plus a short put. That’s a very bullish structure—you gain if the price rallies (via the call), and you collect a premium by selling a put. But it has a naked downside risk. The modified risk reversal fixes that by adding a long lower put (making the short put into a defined put credit spread).
Management: If momentum stays above signal, ride toward +2 → +3 ATR. Sell the put near the current price → receive big premium. Buy the lower put → spend part of that premium (risk cap). Buy the call above the current price → spend more, but the short put premium mostly pays for it.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → reduce. If price retests −1/−2 ATR and holds, you can roll the short put down/out.
Breakout = Big Success; No Breakout = you keep the initial credit. Reversal = Max loss is capped by the long lower put.
✅ Iron Condor (Neutral: Short OTM Put Spread + Short OTM Call Spread)
Use when: Squeeze is active (🟡/🟣), momentum is flat near zero, and there is no directional edge. 🟢 lasts for around 5~8 bars typically. I measure the historical duration of it, and wait for a range period to occur.
Playbook Entry: During compression, set wings outside ±2 ATR (or recent range extremes). I prefer identifying boxes where the rectangle pattern occurs on the chart.
Management: Time decay works while price remains trapped in the coil. High-winrate ~80%, but 1 loser can wipe most of the gains.
Exits/Adjust: If a squeeze fires and momentum breaks hard one way, close the losing side, consider converting to a vertical or rotating to a directional spread aligned with momentum.
4HR-Bullish, closing one wing:
Tip: Align daily/weekly context with your intraday entries. 9 > 50 on Weekly, similar on Daily. Sell premium into compression; switch to directional spreads on expansion and momentum confirmation.
✅ Naked Call/Puts (Directional: 10~30 Delta Calls)
Stick to naked calls and puts when the squeezes are fired from either 🔴 or ⚫.
Look for Strikes slightly out of the money with an OI and Volume spread less than <10%.
If Strike Date is >45, manage 21 Days before expiration. Scalp: Expiration Strikes of 1/4 of the Squeeze period. Leap: Expiration Strikes of 1.75x of the Squeeze period.
📐 Futures Integrations
Playbook Entry:
Verify if the squeeze on the hourly is red or green, and enter on the 2- or 5-minute during a similar squeeze state.
Trend-Following: Traditional 2 Renko Block above 21 SMA and Momentum is bullish, or vice versa. (2~ES, 5~NQ)
Structure: Go long at/just below the ATR reference (or recent swing support). Exit below the breakout zone (prior high/mid-range +1 to +2 ATR).
Management: If momentum stays above +1 ATR ride toward +2 → +3 ATR, etc. House-money, should be kept.
Exits/Adjust: Momentum downcross or squeeze flips back on (new compression) → exit. On Renko Charts, lower the sensitivity to 0.7~1. If price retests 0/−1/−2 ATR and holds, you can enter when the 9 SMA flips. The 50 SMA is better for Daily and up; I wouldn't trade against it then.

Market Zone Analyzer[BullByte]Understanding the Market Zone Analyzer
---
1. Purpose of the Indicator
The Market Zone Analyzer is a Pine Script™ (version 6) indicator designed to streamline market analysis on TradingView. Rather than scanning multiple separate tools, it unifies four core dimensions—trend strength, momentum, price action, and market activity—into a single, consolidated view. By doing so, it helps traders:
• Save time by avoiding manual cross-referencing of disparate signals.
• Reduce decision-making errors that can arise from juggling multiple indicators.
• Gain a clear, reliable read on whether the market is in a bullish, bearish, or sideways phase, so they can more confidently decide to enter, exit, or hold a position.
---
2. Why a Trader Should Use It
• Unified View: Combines all essential market dimensions into one easy-to-read score and dashboard, eliminating the need to piece together signals manually.
• Adaptability: Automatically adjusts its internal weighting for trend, momentum, and price action based on current volatility. Whether markets are choppy or calm, the indicator remains relevant.
• Ease of Interpretation: Outputs a simple “BULLISH,” “BEARISH,” or “SIDEWAYS” label, supplemented by an intuitive on-chart dashboard and an oscillator plot that visually highlights market direction.
• Reliability Features: Built-in smoothing of the net score and hysteresis logic (requiring consecutive confirmations before flips) minimize false signals during noisy or range-bound phases.
---
3. Why These Specific Indicators?
This script relies on a curated set of well-established technical tools, each chosen for its particular strength in measuring one of the four core dimensions:
1. Trend Strength:
• ADX/DMI (Average Directional Index / Directional Movement Index): Measures how strong a trend is, and whether the +DI line is above the –DI line (bullish) or vice versa (bearish).
• Moving Average Slope (Fast MA vs. Slow MA): Compares a shorter-period SMA to a longer-period SMA; if the fast MA sits above the slow MA, it confirms an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend.
• Ichimoku Cloud Differential (Senkou A vs. Senkou B): Provides a forward-looking view of trend direction; Senkou A above Senkou B signals bullishness, and the opposite signals bearishness.
2. Momentum:
• Relative Strength Index (RSI): Identifies overbought (above its dynamically calculated upper bound) or oversold (below its lower bound) conditions; changes in RSI often precede price reversals.
• Stochastic %K: Highlights shifts in short-term momentum by comparing closing price to the recent high/low range; values above its upper band signal bullish momentum, below its lower band signal bearish momentum.
• MACD Histogram: Measures the difference between the MACD line and its signal line; a positive histogram indicates upward momentum, a negative histogram indicates downward momentum.
3. Price Action:
• Highest High / Lowest Low (HH/LL) Range: Over a defined lookback period, this captures breakout or breakdown levels. A closing price near the recent highs (with a positive MA slope) yields a bullish score, and near the lows (with a negative MA slope) yields a bearish score.
• Heikin-Ashi Doji Detection: Uses Heikin-Ashi candles to identify indecision or continuation patterns. A small Heikin-Ashi body (doji) relative to recent volatility is scored as neutral; a larger body in the direction of the MA slope is scored bullish or bearish.
• Candle Range Measurement: Compares each candle’s high-low range against its own dynamic band (average range ± standard deviation). Large candles aligning with the prevailing trend score bullish or bearish accordingly; unusually small candles can indicate exhaustion or consolidation.
4. Market Activity:
• Bollinger Bands Width (BBW): Measures the distance between BB upper and lower bands; wide bands indicate high volatility, narrow bands indicate low volatility.
• Average True Range (ATR): Quantifies average price movement (volatility). A sudden spike in ATR suggests a volatile environment, while a contraction suggests calm.
• Keltner Channels Width (KCW): Similar to BBW but uses ATR around an EMA. Provides a second layer of volatility context, confirming or contrasting BBW readings.
• Volume (with Moving Average): Compares current volume to its moving average ± standard deviation. High volume validates strong moves; low volume signals potential lack of conviction.
By combining these tools, the indicator captures trend direction, momentum strength, price-action nuances, and overall market energy, yielding a more balanced and comprehensive assessment than any single tool alone.
---
4. What Makes This Indicator Stand Out
• Multi-Dimensional Analysis: Rather than relying on a lone oscillator or moving average crossover, it simultaneously evaluates trend, momentum, price action, and activity.
• Dynamic Weighting: The relative importance of trend, momentum, and price action adjusts automatically based on real-time volatility (Market Activity State). For example, in highly volatile conditions, trend and momentum signals carry more weight; in calm markets, price action signals are prioritized.
• Stability Mechanisms:
• Smoothing: The net score is passed through a short moving average, filtering out noise, especially on lower timeframes.
• Hysteresis: Both Market Activity State and the final bullish/bearish/sideways zone require two consecutive confirmations before flipping, reducing whipsaw.
• Visual Interpretation: A fully customizable on-chart dashboard displays each sub-indicator’s value, regime, score, and comment, all color-coded. The oscillator plot changes color to reflect the current market zone (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for sideways) and shows horizontal threshold lines at +2, 0, and –2.
---
5. Recommended Timeframes
• Short-Term (5 min, 15 min): Day traders and scalpers can benefit from rapid signals, but should enable smoothing (and possibly disable hysteresis) to reduce false whipsaws.
• Medium-Term (1 h, 4 h): Swing traders find a balance between responsiveness and reliability. Less smoothing is required here, and the default parameters (e.g., ADX length = 14, RSI length = 14) perform well.
• Long-Term (Daily, Weekly): Position traders tracking major trends can disable smoothing for immediate raw readings, since higher-timeframe noise is minimal. Adjust lookback lengths (e.g., increase adxLength, rsiLength) if desired for slower signals.
Tip: If you keep smoothing off, stick to timeframes of 1 h or higher to avoid excessive signal “chatter.”
---
6. How Scoring Works
A. Individual Indicator Scores
Each sub-indicator is assigned one of three discrete scores:
• +1 if it indicates a bullish condition (e.g., RSI above its dynamically calculated upper bound).
• 0 if it is neutral (e.g., RSI between upper and lower bounds).
• –1 if it indicates a bearish condition (e.g., RSI below its dynamically calculated lower bound).
Examples of individual score assignments:
• ADX/DMI:
• +1 if ADX ≥ adxThreshold and +DI > –DI (strong bullish trend)
• –1 if ADX ≥ adxThreshold and –DI > +DI (strong bearish trend)
• 0 if ADX < adxThreshold (trend strength below threshold)
• RSI:
• +1 if RSI > RSI_upperBound
• –1 if RSI < RSI_lowerBound
• 0 otherwise
• ATR (as part of Market Activity):
• +1 if ATR > (ATR_MA + stdev(ATR))
• –1 if ATR < (ATR_MA – stdev(ATR))
• 0 otherwise
Each of the four main categories shares this same +1/0/–1 logic across their sub-components.
B. Category Scores
Once each sub-indicator reports +1, 0, or –1, these are summed within their categories as follows:
• Trend Score = (ADX score) + (MA slope score) + (Ichimoku differential score)
• Momentum Score = (RSI score) + (Stochastic %K score) + (MACD histogram score)
• Price Action Score = (Highest-High/Lowest-Low score) + (Heikin-Ashi doji score) + (Candle range score)
• Market Activity Raw Score = (BBW score) + (ATR score) + (KC width score) + (Volume score)
Each category’s summed value can range between –3 and +3 (for Trend, Momentum, and Price Action), and between –4 and +4 for Market Activity raw.
C. Market Activity State and Dynamic Weight Adjustments
Rather than contributing directly to the netScore like the other three categories, Market Activity determines how much weight to assign to Trend, Momentum, and Price Action:
1. Compute Market Activity Raw Score by summing BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume individual scores (each +1/0/–1).
2. Bucket into High, Medium, or Low Activity:
• High if raw Score ≥ 2 (volatile market).
• Low if raw Score ≤ –2 (calm market).
• Medium otherwise.
3. Apply Hysteresis (if enabled): The state only flips after two consecutive bars register the same high/low/medium label.
4. Set Category Weights:
• High Activity: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Low Activity: Trend = 25 %, Momentum = 20 %, Price Action = 55 %.
• Medium Activity: Use the trader’s base weight inputs (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 % by default).
D. Calculating the Net Score
5. Normalize Base Weights (so that the sum of Trend + Momentum + Price Action always equals 100 %).
6. Determine Current Weights based on the Market Activity State (High/Medium/Low).
7. Compute Each Category’s Contribution: Multiply (categoryScore) × (currentWeight).
8. Sum Contributions to get the raw netScore (a floating-point value that can exceed ±3 when scores are strong).
9. Smooth the netScore over two bars (if smoothing is enabled) to reduce noise.
10. Apply Hysteresis to the Final Zone:
• If the smoothed netScore ≥ +2, the bar is classified as “Bullish.”
• If the smoothed netScore ≤ –2, the bar is classified as “Bearish.”
• Otherwise, it is “Sideways.”
• To prevent rapid flips, the script requires two consecutive bars in the new zone before officially changing the displayed zone (if hysteresis is on).
E. Thresholds for Zone Classification
• BULLISH: netScore ≥ +2
• BEARISH: netScore ≤ –2
• SIDEWAYS: –2 < netScore < +2
---
7. Role of Volatility (Market Activity State) in Scoring
Volatility acts as a dynamic switch that shifts which category carries the most influence:
1. High Activity (Volatile):
• Detected when at least two sub-scores out of BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume equal +1.
• The script sets Trend weight = 50 % and Momentum weight = 35 %. Price Action weight is minimized at 15 %.
• Rationale: In volatile markets, strong trending moves and momentum surges dominate, so those signals are more reliable than nuanced candle patterns.
2. Low Activity (Calm):
• Detected when at least two sub-scores out of BBW, ATR, KCW, and Volume equal –1.
• The script sets Price Action weight = 55 %, Trend = 25 %, and Momentum = 20 %.
• Rationale: In quiet, sideways markets, subtle price-action signals (breakouts, doji patterns, small-range candles) are often the best early indicators of a new move.
3. Medium Activity (Balanced):
• Raw Score between –1 and +1 from the four volatility metrics.
• Uses whatever base weights the trader has specified (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %).
Because volatility can fluctuate rapidly, the script employs hysteresis on Market Activity State: a new High or Low state must occur on two consecutive bars before weights actually shift. This avoids constant back-and-forth weight changes and provides more stability.
---
8. Scoring Example (Hypothetical Scenario)
• Symbol: Bitcoin on a 1-hour chart.
• Market Activity: Raw volatility sub-scores show BBW (+1), ATR (+1), KCW (0), Volume (+1) → Total raw Score = +3 → High Activity.
• Weights Selected: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Trend Signals:
• ADX strong and +DI > –DI → +1
• Fast MA above Slow MA → +1
• Ichimoku Senkou A > Senkou B → +1
→ Trend Score = +3
• Momentum Signals:
• RSI above upper bound → +1
• MACD histogram positive → +1
• Stochastic %K within neutral zone → 0
→ Momentum Score = +2
• Price Action Signals:
• Highest High/Lowest Low check yields 0 (close not near extremes)
• Heikin-Ashi doji reading is neutral → 0
• Candle range slightly above upper bound but trend is strong, so → +1
→ Price Action Score = +1
• Compute Net Score (before smoothing):
• Trend contribution = 3 × 0.50 = 1.50
• Momentum contribution = 2 × 0.35 = 0.70
• Price Action contribution = 1 × 0.15 = 0.15
• Raw netScore = 1.50 + 0.70 + 0.15 = 2.35
• Since 2.35 ≥ +2 and hysteresis is met, the final zone is “Bullish.”
Although the netScore lands at 2.35 (Bullish), smoothing might bring it slightly below 2.00 on the first bar (e.g., 1.90), in which case the script would wait for a second consecutive reading above +2 before officially classifying the zone as Bullish (if hysteresis is enabled).
---
9. Correlation Between Categories
The four categories—Trend Strength, Momentum, Price Action, and Market Activity—often reinforce or offset one another. The script takes advantage of these natural correlations:
• Bullish Alignment: If ADX is strong and pointed upward, fast MA is above slow MA, and Ichimoku is positive, that usually coincides with RSI climbing above its upper bound and the MACD histogram turning positive. In such cases, both Trend and Momentum categories generate +1 or +2. Because the Market Activity State is likely High (given the accompanying volatility), Trend and Momentum weights are at their peak, so the netScore quickly crosses into Bullish territory.
• Sideways/Consolidation: During a low-volatility, sideways phase, ADX may fall below its threshold, MAs may flatten, and RSI might hover in the neutral band. However, subtle price-action signals (like a small breakout candle or a Heikin-Ashi candle with a slight bias) can still produce a +1 in the Price Action category. If Market Activity is Low, Price Action’s weight (55 %) can carry enough influence—even if Trend and Momentum are neutral—to push the netScore out of “Sideways” into a mild bullish or bearish bias.
• Opposing Signals: When Trend is bullish but Momentum turns negative (for example, price continues up but RSI rolls over), the two scores can partially cancel. Market Activity may remain Medium, in which case the netScore lingers near zero (Sideways). The trader can then wait for either a clearer momentum shift or a fresh price-action breakout before committing.
By dynamically recognizing these correlations and adjusting weights, the indicator ensures that:
• When Trend and Momentum align (and volatility supports it), the netScore leaps strongly into Bullish or Bearish.
• When Trend is neutral but Price Action shows an early move in a low-volatility environment, Price Action’s extra weight in the Low Activity State can still produce actionable signals.
---
10. Market Activity State & Its Role (Detailed)
The Market Activity State is not a direct category score—it is an overarching context setter for how heavily to trust Trend, Momentum, or Price Action. Here’s how it is derived and applied:
1. Calculate Four Volatility Sub-Scores:
• BBW: Compare the current band width to its own moving average ± standard deviation. If BBW > (BBW_MA + stdev), assign +1 (high volatility); if BBW < (BBW_MA × 0.5), assign –1 (low volatility); else 0.
• ATR: Compare ATR to its moving average ± standard deviation. A spike above the upper threshold is +1; a contraction below the lower threshold is –1; otherwise 0.
• KCW: Same logic as ATR but around the KCW mean.
• Volume: Compare current volume to its volume MA ± standard deviation. Above the upper threshold is +1; below the lower threshold is –1; else 0.
2. Sum Sub-Scores → Raw Market Activity Score: Range between –4 and +4.
3. Assign Market Activity State:
• High Activity: Raw Score ≥ +2 (at least two volatility metrics are strongly spiking).
• Low Activity: Raw Score ≤ –2 (at least two metrics signal unusually low volatility or thin volume).
• Medium Activity: Raw Score is between –1 and +1 inclusive.
4. Hysteresis for Stability:
• If hysteresis is enabled, a new state only takes hold after two consecutive bars confirm the same High, Medium, or Low label.
• This prevents the Market Activity State from bouncing around when volatility is on the fence.
5. Set Category Weights Based on Activity State:
• High Activity: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Low Activity: Trend = 25 %, Momentum = 20 %, Price Action = 55 %.
• Medium Activity: Use trader’s base weights (e.g., Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %).
6. Impact on netScore: Because category scores (–3 to +3) multiply by these weights, High Activity amplifies the effect of strong Trend and Momentum scores; Low Activity amplifies the effect of Price Action.
7. Market Context Tooltip: The dashboard includes a tooltip summarizing the current state—e.g., “High activity, trend and momentum prioritized,” “Low activity, price action prioritized,” or “Balanced market, all categories considered.”
---
11. Category Weights: Base vs. Dynamic
Traders begin by specifying base weights for Trend Strength, Momentum, and Price Action that sum to 100 %. These apply only when volatility is in the Medium band. Once volatility shifts:
• High Volatility Overrides:
• Trend jumps from its base (e.g., 40 %) to 50 %.
• Momentum jumps from its base (e.g., 30 %) to 35 %.
• Price Action is reduced to 15 %.
Example: If base weights were Trend = 40 %, Momentum = 30 %, Price Action = 30 %, then in High Activity they become 50/35/15. A Trend score of +3 now contributes 3 × 0.50 = +1.50 to netScore; a Momentum +2 contributes 2 × 0.35 = +0.70. In total, Trend + Momentum can easily push netScore above the +2 threshold on its own.
• Low Volatility Overrides:
• Price Action leaps from its base (30 %) to 55 %.
• Trend falls to 25 %, Momentum falls to 20 %.
Why? When markets are quiet, subtle candle breakouts, doji patterns, and small-range expansions tend to foreshadow the next swing more effectively than raw trend readings. A Price Action score of +3 in this state contributes 3 × 0.55 = +1.65, which can carry the netScore toward +2—even if Trend and Momentum are neutral or only mildly positive.
Because these weight shifts happen only after two consecutive bars confirm a High or Low state (if hysteresis is on), the indicator avoids constantly flipping its emphasis during borderline volatility phases.
---
12. Dominant Category Explained
Within the dashboard, a label such as “Trend Dominant,” “Momentum Dominant,” or “Price Action Dominant” appears when one category’s absolute weighted contribution to netScore is the largest. Concretely:
• Compute each category’s weighted contribution = (raw category score) × (current weight).
• Compare the absolute values of those three contributions.
• The category with the highest absolute value is flagged as Dominant for that bar.
Why It Matters:
• Momentum Dominant: Indicates that the combined force of RSI, Stochastic, and MACD (after weighting) is pushing netScore farther than either Trend or Price Action. In practice, it means that short-term sentiment and speed of change are the primary drivers right now, so traders should watch for continued momentum signals before committing to a trade.
• Trend Dominant: Means ADX, MA slope, and Ichimoku (once weighted) outweigh the other categories. This suggests a strong directional move is in place; trend-following entries or confirming pullbacks are likely to succeed.
• Price Action Dominant: Occurs when breakout/breakdown patterns, Heikin-Ashi candle readings, and range expansions (after weighting) are the most influential. This often happens in calmer markets, where subtle shifts in candle structure can foreshadow bigger moves.
By explicitly calling out which category is carrying the most weight at any moment, the dashboard gives traders immediate insight into why the netScore is tilting toward bullish, bearish, or sideways.
---
13. Oscillator Plot: How to Read It
The “Net Score” oscillator sits below the dashboard and visually displays the smoothed netScore as a line graph. Key features:
1. Value Range: In normal conditions it oscillates roughly between –3 and +3, but extreme confluences can push it outside that range.
2. Horizontal Threshold Lines:
• +2 Line (Bullish threshold)
• 0 Line (Neutral midline)
• –2 Line (Bearish threshold)
3. Zone Coloring:
• Green Background (Bullish Zone): When netScore ≥ +2.
• Red Background (Bearish Zone): When netScore ≤ –2.
• Gray Background (Sideways Zone): When –2 < netScore < +2.
4. Dynamic Line Color:
• The plotted netScore line itself is colored green in a Bullish Zone, red in a Bearish Zone, or gray in a Sideways Zone, creating an immediate visual cue.
Interpretation Tips:
• Crossing Above +2: Signals a strong enough combined trend/momentum/price-action reading to classify as Bullish. Many traders wait for a clear crossing plus a confirmation candle before entering a long position.
• Crossing Below –2: Indicates a strong Bearish signal. Traders may consider short or exit strategies.
• Rising Slope, Even Below +2: If netScore climbs steadily from neutral toward +2, it demonstrates building bullish momentum.
• Divergence: If price makes a higher high but the oscillator fails to reach a new high, it can warn of weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
---
14. Comments and Their Necessity
Every sub-indicator (ADX, MA slope, Ichimoku, RSI, Stochastic, MACD, HH/LL, Heikin-Ashi, Candle Range, BBW, ATR, KCW, Volume) generates a short comment that appears in the detailed dashboard. Examples:
• “Strong bullish trend” or “Strong bearish trend” for ADX/DMI
• “Fast MA above slow MA” or “Fast MA below slow MA” for MA slope
• “RSI above dynamic threshold” or “RSI below dynamic threshold” for RSI
• “MACD histogram positive” or “MACD histogram negative” for MACD Hist
• “Price near highs” or “Price near lows” for HH/LL checks
• “Bullish Heikin Ashi” or “Bearish Heikin Ashi” for HA Doji scoring
• “Large range, trend confirmed” or “Small range, trend contradicted” for Candle Range
Additionally, the top-row comment for each category is:
• Trend: “Highly Bullish,” “Highly Bearish,” or “Neutral Trend.”
• Momentum: “Strong Momentum,” “Weak Momentum,” or “Neutral Momentum.”
• Price Action: “Bullish Action,” “Bearish Action,” or “Neutral Action.”
• Market Activity: “Volatile Market,” “Calm Market,” or “Stable Market.”
Reasons for These Comments:
• Transparency: Shows exactly how each sub-indicator contributed to its category score.
• Education: Helps traders learn why a category is labeled bullish, bearish, or neutral, building intuition over time.
• Customization: If, for example, the RSI comment says “RSI neutral” despite an impending trend shift, a trader might choose to adjust RSI length or thresholds.
In the detailed dashboard, hovering over each comment cell also reveals a tooltip with additional context (e.g., “Fast MA above slow MA” or “Senkou A above Senkou B”), helping traders understand the precise rule behind that +1, 0, or –1 assignment.

15. Real-Life Example (Consolidated)
• Instrument & Timeframe: Bitcoin (BTCUSD), 1-hour chart.
• Current Market Activity: BBW and ATR both spike (+1 each), KCW is moderately high (+1), but volume is only neutral (0) → Raw Market Activity Score = +2 → State = High Activity (after two bars, if hysteresis is on).
• Category Weights Applied: Trend = 50 %, Momentum = 35 %, Price Action = 15 %.
• Trend Sub-Scores:
1. ADX = 25 (above threshold 20) with +DI > –DI → +1.
2. Fast MA (20-period) sits above Slow MA (50-period) → +1.
3. Ichimoku: Senkou A > Senkou B → +1.
→ Trend Score = +3.
• Momentum Sub-Scores:
4. RSI = 75 (above its moving average +1 stdev) → +1.
5. MACD histogram = +0.15 → +1.
6. Stochastic %K = 50 (mid-range) → 0.
→ Momentum Score = +2.
• Price Action Sub-Scores:
7. Price is not within 1 % of the 20-period high/low and slope = positive → 0.
8. Heikin-Ashi body is slightly larger than stdev over last 5 bars with haClose > haOpen → +1.
9. Candle range is just above its dynamic upper bound but trend is already captured, so → +1.
→ Price Action Score = +2.
• Calculate netScore (before smoothing):
• Trend contribution = 3 × 0.50 = 1.50
• Momentum contribution = 2 × 0.35 = 0.70
• Price Action contribution = 2 × 0.15 = 0.30
• Raw netScore = 1.50 + 0.70 + 0.30 = 2.50 → Immediately classified as Bullish.
• Oscillator & Dashboard Output:
• The oscillator line crosses above +2 and turns green.
