Logical Trading Indicator V.1Features of the Logical Trading Indicator V.1
ATR-Based Trailing Stop Loss
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to implement a dynamic trailing stop loss. You can customize the sensitivity of your alerts by adjusting the ATR Multiple and ATR Period settings.
Higher ATR Multiple values create wider stops, while lower values result in tighter stops. This feature ensures that your trades are protected against adverse price movements. For best practice, use higher values on higher timeframes and lower values on lower term timeframes.
Bollinger Bands
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 includes Bollinger Bands, which can be customized to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the basis.
You can adjust the length and standard deviation multiplier of the Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your strategy. The color of the basis line changes to green when price is above and red when price is below the line to represent the trend.
The bands show a range vs a single band that also represents when the price is in overbought and oversold ranges similar to an RSI. These bands also control the take profit signals.
You also have the ability to change the band colors as well as toggle them off, which only affects the view, they are still active which will still fire the take profit signals.
Momentum Indicator
Our indicator offers a momentum filter option that highlights market momentum directly on the candlesticks, identifying periods of bullish, bearish, or consolidation phases. You can enable or disable this filter as needed, providing valuable insights into market conditions.
By default, you will see the candlestick colors represent the momentum direction as green or red, and consolidation periods as white, but the filter on the BUY and SELL signals is not active. The view options and filter can be toggled on and off in the settings.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of ATR-based filtering, Bollinger Band basis crossover, and optional momentum conditions if selected in the settings. These signals help you make informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade. You can also enable a consolidation filter to stay out of trades during tight ranges.
Basically a BUY signal fires when the price closes above the basis line, and the price meets or exceeds the ATR multiple from the previous candle length, which is also editable in the settings.
If the momentum filter is engaged, it will not fire BUY signals when in consolidation periods. It works just the opposite for SELL signals.
Take Profit Signals
We've integrated a Take Profit feature that helps you identify points to exit your trades with profits. The indicator marks Long Take Profit when prices close below the upper zone line of the Bollinger Bands after the previous candle closes inside the band, suggesting an optimal point to exit a long trade or consider a short position.
Conversely, Short Take Profit signals appear when prices close above the lower zone after the previous candle closes inside of it, indicating the right time to exit a short trade or contemplate a long position.
Alerts for Informed Trading
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 comes equipped with alert conditions for buy signals, sell signals, take profit points, and more. Receive real-time notifications to your preferred devices or platforms to stay updated on market movements and trading opportunities.

Zaree - FX Index RSI IndicatorDescription:
The "Zaree - FX Index RSI Indicator" (FIRI) is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into the relative strength of two selected currency indices using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It allows traders to compare the RSI values of a primary currency index and a secondary currency index, helping them identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the currency market.
Details of the Indicator:
The indicator calculates the RSI for both the primary and secondary currency indices based on the user's selections.
Traders can choose from a variety of currency indices to use as the primary and secondary indices for comparison.
The indicator offers settings for customizing the calculation of the RSI, including selecting the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA) and adjusting the length of the RSI and moving average.
Upper and lower RSI bands are displayed on the chart to highlight potential overbought and oversold conditions.
The RSI values and their corresponding moving average values are plotted on the chart, allowing traders to visually analyze the relative strength of the indices.
How to Use the Indicator:
Select the primary and secondary currency indices you want to compare from the provided dropdown menus. These indices will serve as the basis for RSI calculation.
Choose the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA) to use for RSI calculation and set the desired length for the moving average.
Decide whether you want to visualize the RSI and moving average values for the primary and secondary indices on the chart.
Observe the RSI values and moving averages plotted on the chart. The indicator's upper and lower bands can help you identify potential overbought (above the upper band) and oversold (below the lower band) conditions.
Pay attention to the intersections between the RSI values and the moving average lines. These intersections can provide insights into potential trend changes or reversals in the currency market.
Example of Usage:
Let's say you're a swing trader focusing on currency pairs involving the US Dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR). You want to compare the relative strength of the USD Index (USDINX) and the EUR Index (EURINX) to identify potential trading opportunities. Here's how you can use the FIRI indicator:
Select "USDINX" as the primary index and "EURINX" as the secondary index.
Choose "SMA" as the moving average type and set the RSI length to 14.
Enable the visualization of RSI values for both the primary and secondary indices.
Observe the chart to identify instances where the RSI values of the indices cross above the upper band (potential overbought) or below the lower band (potential oversold).
Look for intersections between the RSI values and the moving average lines. A bullish signal may occur when the RSI crosses above the moving average, indicating potential upward momentum, while a bearish signal may occur when the RSI crosses below the moving average, indicating potential downward momentum.
Remember that the FIRI indicator is a tool to assist you in your analysis. It's important to consider other technical and fundamental factors before making trading decisions.
Feel free to adjust the settings of the indicator based on your trading preferences and strategy. Keep in mind that no indicator is foolproof, and it's recommended to use the FIRI indicator in conjunction with other analysis techniques for a comprehensive trading approach.
Balance Price Range (BPR) IndicatorOverview
The BPR with Directional Momentum-Filtered Breakouts indicator is designed to identify Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) and d etect high-probability breakouts and breakdowns with directional momentum confirmation . By leveraging historical BPR structures, EMA-based momentum filtering , and a trade cooldown mechanism , this script provides a structured approach to identifying potential trading opportunities while reducing false signals.
This invite-only indicator is ideal for traders who seek precise breakout confirmation, reduced noise, and trend-following logic while maintaining flexibility through adjustable parameters.
How It Works
The script follows a multi-step breakout detection process by integrating multiple key technical components:
1. Balanced Price Range (BPR) Detection:
• A Balanced Candle is identified when the price remains within a specific percentage of its range midpoint.
• These BPR zones represent areas of equilibrium , where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
• The script historically tracks BPR levels across the entire chart to monitor price action around key areas.
2. Momentum-Filtered Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
• Bullish Breakout: Occurs when the price breaks above the historical BPR high with bullish momentum.
• Bearish Breakdown: Occurs when the price breaks below the historical BPR low with bearish momentum.
• Momentum Confirmation: Each breakout requires a strong directional move, measured against the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) .
• Only confirmed breakouts are marked, reducing the likelihood of false signals in choppy markets.
3. Candle-Based Background Visualization:
• Grey Background: Represents a Balanced Price Range (BPR), indicating potential breakout zones.
• Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Breakout when the price successfully breaks and holds above the BPR high.
• Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Breakdown when the price drops below the BPR low.
4. Trade Cooldown Mechanism:
• Prevents consecutive signals from triggering too frequently.
• Default cooldown period: 5 bars (adjustable).
• Ensures that trades are not clustered, improving signal quality.
5. EMA for Trend Direction & Confirmation:
• A 20-period EMA (default, adjustable) is used to confirm trade direction.
• Breakouts above the EMA align with uptrend continuation.
• Breakdowns below the EMA align with downtrend momentum.
Key Features
✔️ Historical BPR Detection – Tracks past BPR levels across the entire chart for structured breakout zones.
✔️ Momentum-Based Breakouts – Ensures breakouts are confirmed by directional price movement before generating signals.
✔️ Candle-Based Background Logic – Subtle candle highlights rather than full background fills, for better chart clarity.
✔️ Trade Cooldown Period – Prevents consecutive buy/sell signals within a defined period, improving signal efficiency.
✔️ Dynamic EMA Confirmation – Ensures trades align with the overall trend, reducing counter-trend trades.
✔️ Customizable Inputs – Adjust breakout thresholds, EMA length, and cooldown periods as per trading style.
✔️ Works Across Multiple Timeframes – Can be applied to intraday, swing, and positional trading strategies.
How to Use
1. Look for Balanced Price Ranges ( BPR )
• These zones highlight equilibrium areas where price is likely to break out.
• Grey-shaded candles indicate potential breakout zones.
2. Monitor for Bullish or Bearish Breakouts
• A green candle background signals a bullish breakout above BPR.
• A red candle background signals a bearish breakdown below BPR.
• The EMA filter helps confirm whether the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend.
3. Follow the Cooldown Logic
• After a breakout signal, wait for the cooldown period before another trade is allowed.
• This helps filter out noisy price action and prevents excessive trading.
4. Use Alongside Other Indicators
• Works well with volume analysis, support/resistance levels, and price action strategies.
• Can be combined with other momentum indicators for further trade confirmation.
Why This Combination?
Unlike generic breakout indicators, this script uniquely combines:
• BPR historical structures for defining potential breakout zones.
• Momentum-based breakout filtering using EMA confirmation.
• Trade cooldown logic to avoid excessive trading signals.
• Subtle candle-based highlights instead of cluttered full-background fills.
This structured approach makes the indicator more robust, adaptive, and reliable in different market conditions.
Why It’s Worth Using?
🔹 Avoid False Breakouts: Built-in momentum confirmation prevents weak or fake breakouts.
🔹 Clean Visualization: No excessive overlays—just precise, meaningful background coloring for breakouts.
🔹 Works in Any Market: Use on stocks, crypto, forex, indices, and commodities across different timeframes.
🔹 User-Friendly & Customizable: Fine-tune parameters to match individual trading styles.
⚠️ Note: This is an Invite-Only script. Access is granted to selected users.
✅ If you find it useful, consider incorporating it into your trend-following & breakout trading strategies.
🚀 Optimize your trading with structured breakout detection! 🚀
Musashi_Slasher (Mometum+Volatility)--- Musashi Slasher (Momentum + Volatility ) ---
This tool was designed to fit my particular trading style and personal theories about the "Alchemy of the markets".
Velocity
This concept will be represented by the light blue and gray lines, a fast RSI (11 periods Relative Strength Index ), and a slow one ( RSI 14 periods as Wilder's half-cycle recommendation).
Note: Regular and hidden divergences will be plotted to help spot interesting spots and help with timing.
- Regular divergences will hint at a slowdown in price action.
- Hidden divergences will hint at a continuation as energy stored as some type of potential energy ready to be released violently. It is also referred ad 'The Slingshot'
Momentum
To understand Momentum, we must know that in physics Momentum = mass * velocity
We will understand mass as the mass of money of the market, which is found in the volume. To represent this concept a colored cloud will be plotted, this area will be given by MFI (13 periods Money Flow Index) and VRSI (Volume RSI ), when MFI is above VRSI will be colored dark blue, else red.
Note: Regular and hidden divergences on MFI will be plotted.
Volatility
The key to making this Alchemic theory work is to understand the "Transmutation" of the volatility which will be plotted by a multicolor line which will be blue in periods of low volatility and Red in periods of high volatility. I like to see these states as 'Ice' and 'Magma', as some periods the volatility just freezes, giving you hints that maybe a big move can be approaching, and at some points is just burning hot. Something I like about this indicator is that is trend agnostic. The line is named BBWP ( Bollinger Bands Width Percentile), as it calculates the width of the Bollinger bands (13 periods) and plot it as a percentile.
Finally, we will study the volatility of the volume, plotted as the red and purple mountains at the bottom of the indicator. This will complement and confirm the information provided by the Velocity-Momentum concepts.
Final Note
This indicator will only help identify interesting moments in the market, it's very powerful if used correctly, but it might be difficult to read in the beginning. It won't give "signals", as it is for understanding different dimensions in the market, I use it as it fits perfectly my trading strategies and tactics.
Best!

IDX - 5UPThe UDX-5UP is a custom indicator designed to assist traders in identifying trends, entry and exit signals, and market reversal moments with greater accuracy. It combines price analysis, volume, and momentum (RSI) to provide clear buy ("Buy") and sell ("Sell") signals across any asset and timeframe, whether you're a scalper on the 5M chart or a swing trader on the 4H chart. Inspired by robust technical analysis strategies, the UDX-5UP is ideal for traders seeking a reliable tool to operate in volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and futures.
Components of the UDX-5UP
The UDX-5UP consists of three main panels that work together to provide a comprehensive view of the market:
Main Panel (Price):
Pivot Supertrend: A dynamic line that changes color to indicate the trend. Green for an uptrend (look for buys), red for a downtrend (look for sells).
SMAs (Simple Moving Averages): Two SMAs (8 and 21 periods) to confirm the trend direction. When the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, it’s a bullish signal; when it crosses below, it’s a bearish signal.
Entry/Exit Signals: "Buy" (green) and "Sell" (red) labels are plotted on the chart when entry or exit conditions are met.
Volume Panel:
Colored Volume Bars: Green bars indicate dominant buying volume, while red bars indicate dominant selling volume.
Volume Moving Average (MA 20): A blue line that helps identify whether the current volume is above or below the average, confirming the strength of the movement.
RSI Panel:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated with a period of 14, with overbought (70) and oversold (30) lines to identify momentum extremes.
Divergences: The indicator detects divergences between the RSI and price, plotting signals for potential reversals.
How the UDX-5UP Works
The UDX-5UP uses a combination of rules to generate buy and sell signals:
Buy Signal ("Buy"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from red to green.
The SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with green bars (indicating buying pressure).
The RSI is rising and, ideally, below 70 (not overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether (USDT) is at 0.05515. The Pivot Supertrend turns green, the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, the volume shows green bars above the MA 20, and the RSI is at 46. The UDX-5UP plots a "Buy".
Sell Signal ("Sell"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from green to red.
The SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with red bars (indicating selling pressure).
The RSI is falling and, ideally, above 70 (overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether rises to 0.05817. The Pivot Supertrend turns red, the SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21, the volume shows red bars, and the RSI is above 70. The UDX-5UP plots a "Sell".
RSI Divergences:
The indicator identifies bullish divergences (price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low) and bearish divergences (price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high), plotting alerts for potential reversals.
Adjustable Settings
The UDX-5UP is highly customizable to suit your trading style:
Pivot Supertrend Period: Default is 2. Increase to 3 or 4 for more conservative signals (fewer false positives, but more lag).
SMA Periods: Default is 8 and 21. Adjust to 5 and 13 for smaller timeframes (e.g., 5M) or 13 and 34 for larger timeframes (e.g., 1D).
RSI Period: Default is 14. Reduce to 10 for greater sensitivity or increase to 20 for smoother signals.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Default is 70/30. Adjust to 80/20 in volatile markets.
Display Panels: You can enable/disable the volume and RSI panels to simplify the chart.
How to Use the UDX-5UP
Identify the Trend:
Use the Pivot Supertrend and SMAs to determine the market direction. Uptrend: look for buys. Downtrend: look for sells.
Confirm with Volume and RSI:
For buys: Volume above the MA 20 with green bars, RSI rising and below 70.
For sells: Volume above the MA 20 with red bars, RSI falling and above 70.
Enter the Trade:
Enter a buy when the UDX-5UP plots a "Buy" and all conditions are aligned.
Enter a sell when the UDX-5UP plots a "Sell" and all conditions are aligned.
Plan the Exit:
Use Fibonacci levels or support/resistance on the price chart to set targets.
Exit the trade when the UDX-5UP plots an opposite signal ("Sell" after a buy, "Buy" after a sell).
Tips for Beginners
Start with Larger Timeframes: Use the 4H or 1D chart for more reliable signals and less noise.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the UDX-5UP with tools like Fibonacci or the Candles RSI (another powerful indicator) to confirm signals.
Practice in Demo Mode: Test the indicator in a demo account before using real money.
Manage Risk: Always use a stop-loss and don’t risk more than 1-2% of your capital per trade.
Why Use the UDX-5UP?
Simplicity: Clear "Buy" and "Sell" signals make trading accessible even for beginners.
Versatility: Works on any asset (crypto, forex, stocks) and timeframe.
Multiple Confirmations: Combines price, volume, and momentum to reduce false signals.
Customizable: Adjust the settings to match your trading style.
Author’s Notes
The UDX-5UP was developed based on years of trading and technical analysis experience. It is an evolution of tested strategies, designed to help traders navigate volatile markets with confidence. However, no indicator is infallible. Always combine the UDX-5UP with proper risk management and fundamental analysis, especially in unpredictable markets.

Volume & Trend Confluence OscillatorVolume & Trend Confluence Oscillator (VTCO)
Overview:
The Volume & Trend Confluence Oscillator (VTCO) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders assess market conditions by integrating volume analysis, momentum, and trend direction into a single oscillator. This indicator provides traders with additional confirmation when evaluating potential trade entries and exits.
Key Features:
Volume Analysis: Calculates a Z-score to detect unusual trading activity.
Momentum Measurement: Evaluates the rate of price change to gauge market velocity.
Trend Confirmation: Utilizes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to assess overall market direction.
Signal Filtering: Incorporates minimum movement thresholds and a confirmation period to reduce false signals.
Visual Enhancements: Background shading indicates trend direction, and buy/sell markers highlight key signals.
How It Works:
The VTCO applies a volume multiplier to momentum readings when volume activity significantly deviates from its historical norm. Additionally, it prioritizes momentum moves that align with the prevailing market trend. A smoothing mechanism refines the oscillator’s signal line, ensuring a more stable and actionable output. The indicator generates alerts when key conditions are met, assisting traders in identifying potential trend shifts.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the oscillator crosses above zero after an oversold condition, ideally within an uptrend.

Kalman Synergy Oscillator (KSO)The Kalman Synergy Oscillator (KSO) is an innovative technical indicator that combines the Kalman filter with two well-established momentum oscillators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Williams %R. This combination aims to provide traders with a more refined tool for market analysis.
The use of the Kalman filter is a key feature of the KSO. This sophisticated algorithm is known for its ability to extract meaningful signals from noisy data. In financial markets, this translates to smoothing out price action while maintaining responsiveness to genuine market movements. By applying the Kalman filter to price data before calculating the RSI and Williams %R, the KSO potentially offers more stable and reliable signals.
The synergy between the Kalman-filtered price data and the two momentum indicators creates an oscillator that attempts to capture market dynamics more effectively. The RSI contributes its strength in measuring the magnitude and speed of price movements, while Williams %R adds sensitivity to overbought and oversold conditions. Basing these calculations on Kalman-filtered data may help reduce false signals and provide a clearer picture of underlying market trends.
A notable aspect of the KSO is its dynamic weighting system. This approach adjusts the relative importance of the RSI and Williams %R based on their current strengths, allowing the indicator to emphasize the most relevant information as market conditions change. This flexibility, combined with the noise-reduction properties of the Kalman filter, positions the KSO as a potentially useful tool for different market conditions.
In practice, traders might find that the KSO offers several potential benefits:
Smoother oscillator movements, which could aid in trend identification and reversal detection.
Possibly reduced whipsaws, particularly in choppy or volatile markets.
Potential for improved divergence detection, which might lead to more timely reversal signals.
Consistent performance across different timeframes, due to the adaptive nature of the Kalman filter.
While the KSO builds upon existing concepts in technical analysis, its integration of the Kalman filter with traditional momentum indicators offers traders an interesting tool for market analysis. It represents an attempt to address common challenges in technical analysis, such as noise reduction and false signal minimization.
As with any technical indicator, the KSO should be used as part of a broader trading strategy rather than in isolation. Its effectiveness will depend on how well it aligns with a trader's individual approach and market conditions. For traders looking to explore a more refined momentum oscillator, the Kalman Synergy Oscillator could be a worthwhile addition to their analytical toolkit.
Bullrun Profit Maximizer [QuantraSystems]Bullrun Profit Maximizer
Quantra Systems guarantees that the information created and published within this document and on the Tradingview platform is fully compliant with applicable regulations, does not constitute investment advice, and is not exclusively intended for qualified investors.
Important Note!
The system equity curve presented here has been generated as part of the process of testing and verifying the methodology behind this script.
Crucially, it was developed after the system was conceptualized, designed, and created, which helps to mitigate the risk of overfitting to historical data. In other words, the system was built for robustness, not for simply optimizing past performance.
This ensures that the system is less likely to degrade in performance over time, compared to hyper optimized systems that are tailored to past data. No tweaks or optimizations were made to this system post backtest.
Even More Important Note!!
The nature of markets is that they change quickly and unpredictably. Past performance does not guarantee future results - this is a fundamental rule in trading and investing.
While this system is designed with broad, flexible conditions to adapt quickly to a range of market environments, it is essential to understand that no assumptions should be made about future returns based on historical data. Markets are inherently uncertain, and this system - like all trading systems - cannot predict future outcomes.
Introduction
The "Adaptive Pairwise Momentum System" is not a prototype to the Bullrun Profit Maximizer (BPM) . The Bullrun Profit Maximizer is a fully re-engineered, higher frequency momentum system.
The Bullrun Profit Maximizer (BPM) uses a completely different filter logic and refines momentum calculations, specifically to support higher frequency trading on Crypto's Blue Chip assets. It correctly calculates fees and slippage by compounding them against System Profit before plotting the equity curve.
Unlike prior systems, this script utilizes a completely new filter logic and refined momentum calculation, specifically built to support higher frequency trading on blue-chip assets, while minimizing the impact of fees and slippage.
While the APMS focuses on Macro Trend Alignment, the BPM instead applies an equity curve based filter, allowing for targeted precision on the current asset’s trend without relying on broader market conditions. This approach delivers more responsive and asset specific signals, enhancing agility in today’s fast paced crypto markets.
The BPM dynamically optimizes capital allocation across up to four high performing assets, ensuring that the portfolio adapts swiftly to changing market conditions. The system logic consists of sophisticated quantitative methods, rapid momentum analysis and alpha cyclicality/seasonality optimizations. The overarching goal is to ensure that the portfolio is always invested in the highest performing asset based on dynamic market conditions, while at the same time managing risk through rapid asset filters and internal mechanisms like alpha cyclicality, volatility and beta analysis.
In addition to these core functionalities, the BPM comes with the typical Quantra Systems UI design, structured to reduce data clutter and provide users with only the most essential, impactful information. The BPM UI format delivers clear and easy to read signals. It enables rapid decision making in a high frequency environment without compromising on depth or accuracy.
Bespoke Logic Filtering with Equity Curve Precision
The BPM script utilizes a completely new methodology and focuses on intraday rotations of blue-chip crypto assets, while previously built systems were designed with a longer term focus in mind.
In response to the need for more precise signal generation, the BPM replaces the previous macro trend filter with a new, highly specific equity curve activation filter. This unique logic filter is driven solely by the performance trends of the asset currently held by the system. By analyzing the equity curve directly, this system can make more targeted, timely allocations based on asset specific momentum, allowing for quick adjustments that are more relevant to the held asset rather than general market conditions.
The benefits of this new, unique approach are twofold: first, it avoids premature allocation shifts based on broader macro movements, and second, it enables the system to adapt dynamically to the performance of each asset individually. This asset specific filtering allows traders to capitalize on localized strength within individual blue-chip cryptoassets without being affected by lags in the overall market trend.
High Frequency Momentum Calculation for Enhanced Flexibility
The BPM incorporates a newly designed momentum calculation that increases its suitability across lower timeframes. This new momentum indicator captures and processes more data points within a shorter window than ever before, rather than extending bar intervals and potentially losing high frequency detail. This creates a smooth, data rich featureset that is especially suited for blue-chip assets, where liquidity reduces slippage and fees, making higher frequency trading viable.
By retaining more data, this system captures subtle shifts in momentum more effectively than traditional approaches, offering higher resolution insights. These modifications result in a system capable of generating highly responsive signals on faster timeframes, empowering traders to act quickly in volatile markets.
User Interface and Enhanced Readability
The BPM also features a reimagined, streamlined user interface, making it easier than ever to monitor essential signals at a glance. The new layout minimizes extraneous data points in the tables, leaving only the most actionable information for traders. This cleaner presentation is purpose built to help traders identify the strongest asset in real time, with clear, color coded signals to facilitate swift decision making in fast moving markets.
Equity Stats Table : Designed for clarity, the stats table focuses on the current allocation’s performance metrics, emphasizing the most critical metrics without unnecessary clutter.
Color Coded Highlights : The interface includes the option to highlight both the current top performing asset, and historical allocations - with indicators of momentum shifts and performance metrics readily accessible.
Clear Signals : Visual cues are presented in an enhanced way to improve readability, including simplified line coloring, and improve visualization of the outperforming assets in the allocation table.
Dynamic Asset Reallocation
The BPM dynamically allocates capital to the strongest performing asset in a selected pool. This system incorporates a re-engineered, pairwise momentum measurement designed to operate at higher frequencies. The system evaluates each asset against others in real time, ensuring only the highest momentum asset receives allocation. This approach keeps the portfolio positioned for maximum efficiency, with an updated weighting logic that favors assets showing both strength and sustainability.
Position Changes and Slippage Calculation
Position changes are optimized for faster reallocation, with realistic slippage and fee calculations factored into each trade. The system’s structure minimizes the impact of these costs on blue-chip assets, allowing for more active management on short timeframes without incurring significant drag on performance.
A Special Note on Fees + Slippage
In the image above, the system has been applied to four different timeframes - 12h, 8h, 4h and 1h - using identical settings and a selected slippage and fees amount of 0.2%. In this stress test, we isolate the choppy downwards period from the previous Bitcoin all time high - set in March 2024, to the current date where Bitcoin is currently sitting at around the same level.
This illustrates an important concept: starting at the 12h, the system performed better as the timeframes decreased. In fact, only on the 4hr chart did the system equity curve make a new all time high alongside Bitcoin. It is worth noting that market phases that are “non-trending” are generally the least profitable periods to use a momentum/trend system - as most systems will get caught by false momentum and will “buy the top,” and then proceed to “sell the bottom.”
Lower timeframes typically offer more data points for the algorithm to compute over, and enable quicker entries and exits within a robust system, often reducing downside risk and compounding gains more effectively - in all market environments.
However, slippage, fees, and execution constraints are still limiting factors. Although blue-chip cryptocurrencies are more liquid and can be traded with lower fees compared to low cap assets, frequent trading on lower timeframes incurs cumulative slippage costs. With the BPM system set to a realistic slippage rate of 0.2% per trade, this example emphasizes how even lower fees impact performance as trade frequency increases.
Finding the optimal balance between timeframe and slippage impact requires careful consideration of factors such as portfolio size, liquidity of selected tokens, execution speed, and the fee rate of the exchange you execute trades on.
Number of Position Changes
Understanding the number of position changes in a strategy is critical to assessing its feasibility in real world trading. Frequent position changes can lead to increased costs due to slippage and fees. Monitoring the number of position changes provides insight into the system’s behavior - helping to evaluate how active the strategy is and whether it aligns with the trader's desired time input for position management.
Equity Curve and Performance Calculations
To provide a benchmark, the script also generates a Buy-and-Hold (or "HODL") equity curve that represents a 100% allocation to Bitcoin, the highest market cap cryptoasset. This allows users to easily compare the performance of the dynamic rotation system with that of a more traditional investment strategy.
The script tracks key performance metrics for both the dynamic portfolio and the HODL strategy, including:
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio is a key metric that evaluates a portfolio’s risk adjusted return by comparing its ‘excess’ return to its volatility. Traditionally, the Sharpe Ratio measures returns relative to a risk-free rate. However, in our system’s calculation, we omit the risk-free rate and instead measure returns above a benchmark of 0%. This adjustment provides a more universal comparison, especially in the context of highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies, where a traditional risk-free benchmark, such as the usual 3-month T-bills, is often irrelevant or too distant from the realities of the crypto market.
By using 0% as the baseline, we focus purely on the strategy's ability to generate raw returns in the face of market risk, which makes it easier to compare performance across different strategies or asset classes. In an environment like cryptocurrency, where volatility can be extreme, the importance of relative return against a highly volatile backdrop outweighs comparisons to a risk-free rate that bears little resemblance to the risk profile of digital assets.
Sortino Ratio
The Sortino Ratio improves upon the Sharpe Ratio by specifically targeting downside risk and leaves the upside potential untouched. In contrast to the Sharpe Ratio (which penalizes both upside and downside volatility), the Sortino Ratio focuses only on negative return deviations. This makes it a more suitable metric for evaluating strategies like the Bullrun Profit Maximizer - that aim to minimize drawdowns without restricting upside capture. By measuring returns relative to a 0% baseline, the Sortino ratio provides a clearer assessment of how well the system generates gains while avoiding substantial losses in highly volatile markets like crypto.
Omega Ratio
The Omega Ratio is calculated as the ratio of gains to losses across all return thresholds, providing a more complete view of how the system balances upside and downside risk even compared to the Sortino Ratio. While it achieves a similar outcome to the Sortino Ratio by emphasizing the system's ability to capture gains while limiting losses, it is technically a mathematically superior method. However, we include both the Omega and Sortino ratios in our metric table, as the Sortino Ratio remains more widely recognized and commonly understood by traders and investors of all levels.
Usage Summary:
While the backtests in this description are generated as if a trader held a portfolio of just the strongest tokens, this was mainly designed as a method of logical verification and not a recommended investment strategy. In practice, this system can be used in multiple ways.
It can be used as above, or as a factor in forming part of a broader asset selection tool, or even a method of filtering tokens by strength in order to inform a day trader which tokens might be optimal to look at, for long-only trading setups on an intrabar timeframe.
Summary
The Bullrun Profit Maximizer is an advanced tool tailored for traders, offering the precision and agility required in today’s markets. With its asset specific equity curve filter, reworked momentum analysis, and streamlined user interface, this system is engineered to maximize gains and minimize risk during bullmarkets, with a strong focus on risk adjusted performance.
Its refined approach, focused on high resolution data processing and adaptive reallocation, makes it a powerful choice for traders looking to capture high quality trends on clue-chip assets, no matter the market’s pace.
Dynamic Price Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Price Oscillator (DPO) by Zeiierman is designed to gauge the momentum and volatility of asset prices in trading markets. By integrating elements of traditional oscillators with volatility adjustments and Bollinger Bands, the DPO offers a unique approach to understanding market dynamics. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, capturing price trends, and detecting potential reversal points.
█ How It Works
The DPO operates by calculating the difference between the current closing price and a moving average of the closing price, adjusted for volatility using the True Range method. This difference is then smoothed over a user-defined period to create the oscillator. Additionally, Bollinger Bands are applied to the oscillator itself, providing visual cues for volatility and potential breakout signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
The DPO can serve as a confirmation tool for existing trends. Traders might look for the oscillator to maintain above or below its mean line to confirm bullish or bearish trends, respectively. A consistent direction in the oscillator's movement alongside price trend can provide additional confidence in the strength and sustainability of the trend.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
With the application of Bollinger Bands directly on the oscillator, the DPO can highlight overbought or oversold conditions in a unique manner. When the oscillator moves outside the Bollinger Bands, it signifies an extreme condition.
⚪ Volatility Breakouts
The width of the Bollinger Bands on the oscillator reflects market volatility. Sudden expansions in the bands can indicate a breakout from a consolidation phase, which traders can use to enter trades in the direction of the breakout. Conversely, a contraction suggests a quieter market, which might be a signal for traders to wait or to look for range-bound strategies.
⚪ Momentum Trading
Momentum traders can use the DPO to spot moments when the market momentum is picking up. A sharp move of the oscillator towards either direction, especially when crossing the Bollinger Bands, can indicate the start of a strong price movement.
⚪ Mean Reversion
The DPO is also useful for mean reversion strategies, especially considering its volatility adjustment feature. When the oscillator touches or breaches the Bollinger Bands, it indicates a deviation from the normal price range. Traders might look for opportunities to enter trades anticipating a reversion to the mean.
⚪ Divergence Trading
Divergences between the oscillator and price action can be a powerful signal for reversals. For instance, if the price makes a new high but the oscillator fails to make a corresponding high, it may indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal. Traders can use these divergence signals to initiate counter-trend moves.
█ Settings
Length: Determines the lookback period for the oscillator and Bollinger Bands calculation. Increasing this value smooths the oscillator and widens the Bollinger Bands, leading to fewer, more significant signals. Decreasing this value makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price changes, offering more frequent signals but with increased noise.
Smoothing Factor: Adjusts the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator's calculation. A higher smoothing factor reduces noise, offering clearer trend identification at the cost of signal timeliness. Conversely, a lower smoothing factor increases the oscillator's responsiveness to price movements, which may be useful for short-term trading but at the risk of false signals.

Machine Learning: STDEV Oscillator [YinYangAlgorithms]This Indicator aims to fill a gap within traditional Standard Deviation Analysis. Rather than its usual applications, this Indicator focuses on applying Standard Deviation within an Oscillator and likewise applying a Machine Learning approach to it. By doing so, we may hope to achieve an Adaptive Oscillator which can help display when the price is deviating from its standard movement. This Indicator may help display both when the price is Overbought or Underbought, and likewise, where the price may face Support and Resistance. The reason for this is that rather than simply plotting a Machine Learning Standard Deviation (STDEV), we instead create a High and a Low variant of STDEV, and then use its Highest and Lowest values calculated within another Deviation to create Deviation Zones. These zones may help to display these Support and Resistance locations; and likewise may help to show if the price is Overbought or Oversold based on its placement within these zones. This Oscillator may also help display Momentum when the High and/or Low STDEV crosses the midline (0). Lastly, this Oscillator may also be useful for seeing the spacing between the High and Low of the STDEV; large spacing may represent volatility within the STDEV which may be helpful for seeing when there is Momentum in the form of volatility.
Tutorial:
Above is an example of how this Indicator looks on BTC/USDT 1 Day. As you may see, when the price has parabolic movement, so does the STDEV. This is due to this price movement deviating from the mean of the data. Therefore when these parabolic movements occur, we create the Deviation Zones accordingly, in hopes that it may help to project future Support and Resistance locations as well as helping to display when the price is Overbought and Oversold.
If we zoom in a little bit, you may notice that the Support Zone (Blue) is smaller than the Resistance Zone (Orange). This is simply because during the last Bull Market there was more parabolic price deviation than there was during the Bear Market. You may see this if you refer to their values; the Resistance Zone goes to ~18k whereas the Support Zone is ~10.5k. This is completely normal and the way it is supposed to work. Due to the nature of how STDEV works, this Oscillator doesn’t use a 1:1 ratio and instead can develop and expand as exponential price action occurs.
The Neutral (0) line may also act as a Support and Resistance location. In the example above we can see how when the STDEV is below it, it acts as Resistance; and when it’s above it, it acts as Support.
This Neutral line may also provide us with insight as towards the momentum within the market and when it has shifted. When the STDEV is below the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bearish. When the STDEV is above the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bullish.
The Red Line represents the STDEV’s High and the Green Line represents the STDEV’s Low. When the STDEV’s High and Low get tight and close together, this may represent there is currently Low Volatility in the market. Low Volatility may cause consolidation to occur, however it also leaves room for expansion.
However, when the STDEV’s High and Low are quite spaced apart, this may represent High levels of Volatility in the market. This may mean the market is more prone to parabolic movements and expansion.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully this has given you some insight into how applying Machine Learning to a High and Low STDEV then creating Deviation Zones based on it may help project when the Momentum of the Market is Bullish or Bearish; likewise when the price is Overbought or Oversold; and lastly where the price may face Support and Resistance in the form of STDEV.

HAPPY TRADING!
Stochastic Zone Strength Trend [wbburgin](This script was originally invite-only, but I'd vastly prefer contributing to the TradingView community more than anything else, so I am making it public :) I'd much rather share my ideas with you all.)
The Stochastic Zone Strength Trend indicator is a very powerful momentum and trend indicator that 1) identifies trend direction and strength, 2) determines pullbacks and reversals (including oversold and overbought conditions), 3) identifies divergences, and 4) can filter out ranges. I have some examples below on how to use it to its full effectiveness. It is composed of two components: Stochastic Zone Strength and Stochastic Trend Strength.
Stochastic Zone Strength
At its most basic level, the stochastic Zone Strength plots the momentum of the price action of the instrument, and identifies bearish and bullish changes with a high degree of accuracy. Think of the stochastic Zone Strength as a much more robust equivalent of the RSI. Momentum-change thresholds are demonstrated by the "20" and "80" levels on the indicator (see below image).
Stochastic Trend Strength
The stochastic Trend Strength component of the script uses resistance in each candlestick to calculate the trend strength of the instrument. I'll go more into detail about the settings after my description of how to use the indicator, but there are two forms of the stochastic Trend Strength:
Anchored at 50 (directional stochastic Trend Strength):
The directional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the MACD difference or other histogram-like indicators : a rising plot indicates an upward trend, while a falling plot indicates a downward trend.
Anchored at 0 (nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength):
The nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the ADX or other non-directional indicators : a rising plot indicates increasing trend strength, and look at the stochastic Zone Strength component and your instrument to determine if this indicates increasing bullish strength or increasing bearish strength (see photo below):
(In the above photo, a bearish divergence indicated that the high Trend Strength predicted a strong downwards move, which was confirmed shortly after. Later, a bullish move upward by the Zone Strength while the Trend Strength was elevated predicated a strong upwards move, which was also confirmed. Note the period where the Trend Strength never reached above 80, which indicated a ranging period (and thus unprofitable to enter or exit)).
How to Use the Indicator
The above image is a good example on how to use the indicator to determine divergences and possible pivot points (lines and circles, respectively). I recommend using both the stochastic Zone Strength and the stochastic Trend Strength at the same time, as it can give you a robust picture of where momentum is in relation to the price action and its trajectory. Every color is changeable in the settings.
Settings
The Amplitude of the indicator is essentially the high-low lookback for both components.
The Wavelength of the indicator is how stretched-out you want the indicator to be: how many amplitudes do you want the indicator to process in one given bar.
A useful analogy that I use (and that I derived the names from) is from traditional physics. In wave motion, the Amplitude is the up-down sensitivity of the wave, and the Wavelength is the side-side stretch of the wave.
The Smoothing Factor of the settings is simply how smoothed you want the stochastic to be. It's not that important in most circumstances.
Trend Anchor was covered above (see my description of Trend Strength). The "Trend Transform MA Length" is the EMA length of the Trend Strength that you use to transform it into the directional oscillator. Think of the EMA being transformed onto the 50 line and then the Trend Strength being dragged relative to that.
Trend Transform MA Length is the EMA length you want to use for transforming the nondirectional Trend Strength (anchored at 0) into the directional Trend Strength (anchored at 50). I suggest this be the same as the wavelength.
Trend Plot Type can transform the Nondirectional Trend Strength into a line plot so that it doesn't murk up the background.
Finally, the colors are changeable on the bottom.
Explanation of Zone Strength
If you're knowledgeable in Pine Script, I encourage you to look at the code to try to understand the concept, as it's a little complicated. The theory behind my Zone Strength concept is that the wicks in every bar can be used create an index of bullish and bearish resistance, as a wick signifies that the price crossed above a threshold before returning to its origin. This distance metric is unique because most indicators/formulas for calculating relative strength use a displacement metric (such as close - open) instead of measuring how far the price actually moved (up and down) within a candlestick. This is what the Zone Strength concept represents - the hesitation within the bar that is not typically represented in typical momentum indicators.
In the script's code I have step by step explanations of how the formula is calculated and why it is calculated as such. I encourage you to play around with the amplitude and wavelength inputs as they can make the zone strength look very different and perform differently depending on your interests.
Enjoy!

Vaidotas Momentum ScoreHello Traders!
Discover Myfractalrange latest addition on TradingView, Vaidotas Segenis Momentum Score.
How people calculate Momentum is subjective and many people (even professionals) use different Momentum formulas depending on how they view it. This is sometimes confusing for traders.
The purpose of this indicator is to identify periods of strong price momentum relative to historical volatility. Higher momentum scores indicate stronger price trends, while lower scores suggest weaker trends. Traders and investors may use this indicator to identify potential buy or sell signals based on the strength of price movements. The formula Vaidotas uses calculate Momentum Score for different periods based on the price data.
There are 3 different look back periods in the script, you will find them in "Input":
Period 1 : 10 Days
Period 2 : 30 Days
Period 3 : 90 Days
Now let's go over the different steps of the formula:
Step 1 - Calculate the daily normal returns : this gives the daily percentage change in price
Step 2 - Calculate the standard deviation of the daily normal returns over a specific look back period (Default: 100 days) : the standard deviation measures the volatility or dispersion of the returns
Step 4 - Calculate the squared standard deviation multiplied by the square root of the respective period: This is done for three different periods (Period 1, Period 2, Period 3), it amplifies the standard deviation by the square root of the period, which gives more weight to recent price changes.
Step 5 - Calculate the normal returns for each period: This calculates the percentage change in price over the specified period
Step 5 - Calculate the momentum score for each period: This score represents the relative strength or momentum of the price change compared to the expected volatility.
Using the momentum indicator involves interpreting the values and considering certain thresholds to make trading decisions. While there is no definitive rule for all markets and assets, we can provide you with a general guideline on how traders may want to use the indicator and explain the significance of certain values:
1) Strong Trend: When the momentum score is significantly positive (above a certain threshold, such as +2), it suggests a strong upward price trend.
2) Weak Trend: Conversely, when the momentum score is significantly negative (below a certain threshold, such as -2), it indicates a strong downward price trend. Traders may interpret this as a potential signal to enter or maintain a short position, expecting the trend to continue.
3) Lack of Trend: When the momentum score is close to zero, it suggests a lack of significant trend or sideways movement in the price. Values around 0 indicate a potential range-bound market or consolidation.
However, it's important to note that the specific threshold values for defining significant trends or reversals may vary depending on the asset, timeframe, and market conditions. Traders often adjust these thresholds based on their own experience and backtesting results.
Here are a few more examples to illustrate the use of the momentum indicator:
- Example 1 - Strong Uptrend Confirmation :
The momentum score is consistently above +2, indicating a strong upward trend. Traders may consider this as a potential signal to enter or maintain a long position, expecting the trend to continue.
- Example 2 - Reversal Signal :
The momentum score has been positive for an extended period but starts to decline and eventually crosses below -2. This could be seen as a potential reversal signal, suggesting that the uptrend is losing strength and a bearish trend might develop. Traders may consider exiting long positions or even taking short positions based on this reversal signal.
- Example 3 - Sideways Market :
The momentum score fluctuates around 0, without displaying any significant positive or negative values. This indicates a lack of clear trend and suggests that the asset is trading in a range or consolidating. Traders may choose to avoid taking new positions until a stronger trend emerges.
Why is it interesting to use different look back periods?
The use of different look back periods in the momentum indicator formula allows traders to assess momentum across multiple timeframes. By comparing the momentum results for each period, traders can gain a broader perspective on the strength of the trend and potential opportunities. Here's how a trader might use the different look back periods and their corresponding momentum results:
1) Identifying Consistency: Traders can compare the momentum results for different periods to assess the consistency of the trend. If the momentum scores for all periods are consistently positive or negative, it suggests a strong and consistent trend across multiple timeframes. This can provide traders with higher confidence in the trend's strength and potential trading opportunities.
2) Convergence or Divergence: Traders can analyze the relationship between the momentum results for different periods. If the momentum scores for all periods are converging (moving closer together), it indicates a higher degree of agreement across different timeframes and strengthens the signal. Conversely, if the momentum scores for different periods diverge (move apart), it may suggest a weakening or conflicting trend. Traders should exercise caution when the momentum scores diverge as it may signal a potential reversal or market uncertainty.
3) Confirmation of Momentum: Traders can use the momentum results for different periods to confirm the strength of a trend. For example, if the momentum scores for shorter periods (e.g., Period 1) are significantly higher than those for longer periods (e.g., Period 2 and Period 3), it suggests a recent increase in momentum and a potentially stronger trend. This confirmation can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions and timing their entries or exits.
4) Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Traders often employ a multiple timeframe analysis approach to validate their trading decisions. By comparing the momentum results for different periods, traders can assess the alignment of momentum across various timeframes. For instance, if the momentum scores for shorter, medium, and longer periods all indicate a strong trend in the same direction, it reinforces the conviction in the trade.
As a conclusion, the momentum indicator can be useful to traders for several reasons:
1) Identifying Trend Strength: The momentum indicator helps traders assess the strength of a price trend. When the momentum score is high, it suggests that the trend is strong and likely to continue. This information can be valuable for trend-following strategies, as it helps traders identify potentially profitable opportunities and stay on the right side of the market.
2) Spotting Reversals: Momentum indicators can also help traders identify potential trend reversals. When the momentum score diverges from the price movement, it may indicate a weakening trend or an upcoming reversal. Traders can use this signal to adjust their positions or look for opportunities to enter or exit trades.
3) Confirming Breakouts: Breakout traders often use momentum indicators to confirm the validity of a breakout. If a price breaks above a resistance level, and the momentum score also increases significantly, it provides additional confirmation that the breakout is strong and may continue. This helps traders have more confidence in their breakout trades.
4) Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: By understanding the strength of a price trend through the momentum indicator, traders can set appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels. A strong momentum score may indicate that a trend is likely to continue, allowing traders to set wider profit targets. Conversely, a weak momentum score may suggest that the trend is losing steam, prompting traders to set tighter stop-loss levels to protect their capital.
4) Divergence Analysis: Momentum indicators can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to identify divergences. Divergence occurs when the price and momentum indicator move in opposite directions. It can signal potential trend reversals or shifts in market sentiment, providing traders with opportunities to adjust their positions.
It's important to note that while momentum indicators can be useful tools, they should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions. It's recommended to use them in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and consider other factors such as market conditions, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Remember that the momentum indicator is just one tool among many, and it's important to consider other factors such as volume, trend, volatility, and overall market conditions when making trading decisions. Additionally, using stop-loss orders and proper risk management techniques is crucial to mitigate potential losses.

Probability Oscillator (Expo)█ Overview
The Probability Oscillator uses a Bayesian approach to measure the probability of a price movement and trend continuation. This approach considers the prior probability of a price movement and the current market conditions to identify trends, sentiment, momentum, and retracements.
█ How does the indicator work?
The Probability Oscillator is based on the idea of Bayesian probability , which is a way of using existing data to make predictions about the likelihood of an event occurring. This indicator uses the Bayesian probability model to analyze past trading activity and calculate the probability of a trend continuing. This function also considers the prior probability of a price movement and the current market conditions to analyze the likelihood of a retracement.
█ How to use
Investors can use this indicator to measure the market sentiment and the strength/direction of a trend. It does also give insights into momentum moves and retracements.
█ Indicator Customization
The user can change the trend approaches and input source as well as adjust the overbought and oversold areas to make the calculation more sensitive to retracements.
The user can change the sensitivity of the momentum function to adjust it only to identify the most significant momentum moves.

Triple Stochastic Momentum Index(TSMI)This script is a stochastic momentum index (SMI) indicator that is designed to view the flow of three stochastic momentums at once.
You can easily see the change in momentum by applying the values used in the triple stochastic form to the basic SMI usage.
이 스크립트는 3가지 stochastic momentum의 흐름을 한번에 볼 수 있도록 만들어진 SMI(stochastic momentum index)지표 입니다.
기본적인 SMI의 사용방식을 triple stochastic형식에서 사용되는 수치를 적용하여 쉽게 모멘텀의 변화를 확인 할 수 있습니다.
Price Percent OscillatorThe Percentage Price Oscillator(PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. Similar to the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence(MACD), the PPO is comprised of a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers, and divergences. Because these signals are no different than those associated with MACD, this indicator can be read exactly as the MACD is read. The main differences between the PPO and MACD are: 1) PPO readings are not subject to the price level of the security. 2) PPO readings for different securities can be compared, even when there are large differences in the price. MACD readings for different securities cannot be compared when there are large differences in price.
Calculations:
Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO): {(12-day EMA - 26-day EMA)/26-day EMA} x 100
Signal Line: 9-day EMA of PPO
PPO Histogram: PPO - Signal Line
This PPO indicator retains standard PPO settings. Additions to this indicator are: 1) filling the space between the PPO LINE and SIGNAL LINE. Space is green when PPO is above SIGNAL, purple when PPO is below SIGNAL. The color of the space between PPO and SIGNAL is used to define short-term momentum for price(green is positive momentum, pink is negative momentum). 2) filling the space between the PPO LINE and CENTER LINE(0 LEVEL). This space is filled green when the PPO is above the CENTER LINE and pink when the PPO is below the CENTER LINE. Green in this area indicates positive momentum in the intermediate-term while pink indicates negative momentum in the intermediate-term.

VelocityI was wondering how Jurik's Velocity works and after some time I created a little bit different Velocity.
What is this?
Everybody heard about the momentum indicator. The classic momentum shows the difference between the current price and the price N periods ago. How far in the past the comparison is made is up to the trader.
When the indicator reaches extremely high (low) values and then turns in the opposite direction it can be considered a sell (buy) signal. Sometimes it is better than waiting for the 0-line crossovers. Another way is to use the indicator to find out divergences with the price.
What's wrong with it?
The classical momentum indicator produces many misleading values and false signals due to its jagged nature. To remove noise and smooth out its line users apply the different moving averages. No matter how cool is your average - you always add a lag. And the lag will seriously decrease the performance of the momentum indicator.
All of this can be avoided using a special smoothing technique.
Settings
Period (default: 30 )
Price Source (default: hlc3 )
Peaks Highlighting (default: false )
Velocity with peaks highlighting
NOTE : This is not Bullish/Bearish Phases . Phases is a pure volume-based indicator and doesn't use the price to measure the dominance.
I attached some screenshots to show you how it works with other instruments so, you can compare it with Jurik' Velocity.
Good luck!
Compare - Oscillator vs BTC momentumI've made a simple indicator to compare the momentum of a trading pair against the momentum of BTC to the dollar. I use it to see how a pair is affected by BTC's momentum... I wouldnt use it to trade off alone, but it can be a useful tool alongside other indicators.
The time range can be adjusted, but I wouldnt reccomend setting it to anything over 12M, or under 1W.... as I'm not sure if it would work.
Any feedback is welcome!
This is an idea I had after looking at a wonderful visualisation made by BarclayJames, link below:

Precision Stochastic DivergenceThis indicator is designed to identify potential market turning points and continuations by detecting Regular and Hidden divergences between closing price action and the Stochastic momentum oscillator. It utilizes specific default parameters (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivot Lookback: 5,5 based on close) and incorporates specialized filtering logic for signal qualification.
Core Functionality & Features:
Divergence Detection: Identifies standard Regular (potential reversal) and Hidden (potential continuation) divergence patterns. Logic has been optimized for accurate detection of both types.
Precision Filter Mechanism (Regular Divergences): Employs a unique dual-level validation process:
Requires the initial pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to meet Overbought (>80) or Oversold (<20) criteria.
Requires the subsequent pivot's Stochastic value (%D) to reside within a precisely defined range (Default parameterization: Bullish 19-30, Bearish 70-81). This aims to filter divergences based on specific momentum conditions following an initial extreme reading.
Standard Filter (Hidden Divergences): Filters Hidden Divergence signals by requiring both associated Stochastic pivot values to remain outside the primary Overbought/Oversold zones (i.e., >20 for Bullish, <80 for Bearish).
Signal Plotting: Displays 'R' (Regular) and 'H' (Hidden) markers on the chart upon confirmation of filtered divergence conditions. Relevant Stochastic threshold levels and filter range boundaries are plotted for visual reference.
Configuration & Usage Notes:
Parameterization: The default settings (Stochastic: 40,4,3; Pivots: 5,5; Levels: 80/20; Ranges: 19-30 / 70-81) have been specifically calibrated. For optimal performance according to the intended methodology, modification of these core parameters is strongly discouraged.
EMA Filter: Note that EMA trend filtering functionality has been intentionally removed from this version of the indicator.
Applicable Timeframes: While adaptable, performance consistency has been observed on the Hourly (1H) timeframe. Lower intervals such as 6m and 10m are considered optimal secondary timeframes, with 5m and 15m also demonstrating viability depending on market conditions.
Instrument Applicability & Validation:
!!!WARNING FOR GOLD TRADERS!!!
Low time frame spot gold (xauusd) mysteriously proves to give more incorrect signals than every other asset I have tested although higher timeframes like hourlies still signal as intended. The reason MAY be because of not enough testing.
The underlying principle of Stochastic divergence is applicable to various instruments, including Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and Major Indices (SP500, NASDAQ, etc.).
However, the efficiency of this indicator's specific parameterization is contingent upon the volatility profile and price dynamics of the selected instrument.
Mandatory Validation: Rigorous backtesting and/or simulated trading on the specific instrument and timeframe is imperative prior to live deployment. This validation is crucial to ascertain performance characteristics and confirm alignment with individual trading plans and risk management protocols.
