Adaptive Freedom Machine w/labelsAdaptive Freedom Machine w/ Labels
Overview
The Adaptive Freedom Machine w/ Labels is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to assist traders in identifying buy and sell opportunities across various market conditions (trending, ranging, or volatile). It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, buy/sell signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to the selected market condition by adjusting EMA lengths, RSI thresholds, and trading hours. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, and candlestick bodies are colored in neutral conditions for clarity. A table displays real-time trend and volatility status.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder generates potential buy/sell signals, with lengths adjusted based on the market condition (e.g., longer EMAs for trending markets, shorter for ranging).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for uptrends, red for downtrends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within user-defined buy/sell thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones, with thresholds tailored to the market condition.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined or market-specific time window (e.g., 10:00–15:00 UTC for volatile markets), with an option for custom hours.
Visual Aids: Buy/sell signals appear as green triangles (buy) or red triangles (sell). Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow). A table in the top-right corner shows the current trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, Neutral) and volatility (High or Low).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to align with your trading style.
Market Condition: Select one market condition (Trending, Ranging, or Volatile). Volatile is the default if none is selected. Only one condition can be active.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to trade only in high-volatility periods.
Enable the time filter and choose default hours (specific to the market condition) or set custom UTC hours.
Cloud Settings: Adjust the cloud width, neutral zone threshold, and color. Enable/disable the neutral cloud.
RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds on the chart.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a potential long entry (EMA crossover, RSI above buy threshold, within time window, and passing volatility filter).
Sell Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a potential short entry (EMA crossunder, RSI below sell threshold, within time window, and passing volatility filter).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; avoid trading or use for range-bound strategies.
Monitor the Table: Check the top-right table for real-time trend (Uptrend, Downtrend, Neutral) and volatility (High or Low) to confirm market context.
Unique Features
Adaptive Parameters: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths, RSI thresholds, and trading hours based on the selected market condition, reducing manual tweaking.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, making it easier to assess momentum relative to price action.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports both default and custom UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Dynamic Cloud: Enhances trend visualization with customizable width and neutral zone coloring, improving readability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure realistic signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to understand its behavior in your chosen market and timeframe.

FAQs
Why do my alerts sometimes not fire as soon as the candle closes?
This is a limitation with Pine Script's execution model. Indicators are calculated whenever a price or volume change occurs i.e. when a new trade happens. For illiquid or slow moving markets, there may be some time between when a candle closes and the next trade, leading to a delay in the alert triggering. The alert will trigger on the next tick of data on the chart.
Why can't I create more alerts?
TradingView has a limit on the number of active technical alerts you can have based on your membership tier. To configure more alerts, consider upgrading your TradingView plan to a higher tier. See a comparison of TradingView plans at www.tradingview.com
My alert only fired once, how can I get it to keep working?
When configuring the alert in the alert pop-up window, make sure you set "Trigger" to "Once Per Bar" and "Expiration" to "Open-ended alert".
Experimental Supertrend [CHE]Experimental Supertrend — Combines EMA crossovers for trend regime detection with an adaptive ATR-based hull that selects the narrowest band to contain recent highs and lows, minimizing false breaks in varying volatility.
Summary
This indicator overlays a dynamic supertrend boundary around a midline derived from dual EMAs, using EMA crossovers to switch between bullish and bearish regimes. The hull adapts by evaluating multiple ATR periods and selecting the tightest one that fully encloses price action over a specified window, which helps in creating more stable trend lines that hug price without excessive gaps or breaches. Fills between the midline and hull provide visual cues for trend strength, darkening temporarily after regime changes to highlight transitions. Alerts trigger on crossovers, and markers label entry points, making it suitable for trend-following setups where standard supertrends might whipsaw. Overall, it offers robustness through auto-adjustment, reducing sensitivity to noise while maintaining responsiveness to genuine shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard supertrend indicators often flip prematurely in choppy markets due to fixed multipliers that do not account for localized volatility patterns, leading to frequent false signals and eroded confidence in trends. This design addresses that by incorporating an EMA-based regime filter for directional bias and an auto-adaptive hull that dynamically tunes the band width based on recent price containment needs. By prioritizing the narrowest effective enclosure, it avoids over-wide bands in calm periods that cause lag or under-wide ones in volatility spikes that invite breaks, providing a more consistent trailing reference without manual tweaking.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from the classic ATR-multiplier supertrend, which uses a single fixed period and constant factor applied to close or high/low deviations.
- Architecture differences:
- Auto-selection from candidate ATR lengths to find the optimal period for current conditions.
- Dynamic multiplier clamped between floor and cap values, adjusted by padding to ensure reliable containment.
- Regime-gated rendering, where hull position flips based on EMA relative positioning.
- Post-transition visual fading to emphasize change points without altering core logic.
- Practical effect: Charts show tighter, more reactive bands that rarely breach during trends, reducing visual clutter from flips; the adaptive nature means less intervention across assets, as the hull self-adjusts to volatility clusters rather than applying a one-size-fits-all scale.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes two EMAs from close prices using lengths derived from a preset pair or manual inputs, establishing a midline as their average. This midline serves as the central reference for the hull. True range values are then smoothed into multiple ATR candidates using exponential weighting over the specified lengths. For each candidate, deviations of recent highs and lows from the midline are ratioed against the ATR to determine a required multiplier that would enclose all extremes in the containment window—the highest ratio plus padding sets the base, clamped to user-defined bounds. Among valid candidates (those with sufficient history), the one yielding the narrowest overall band width is selected. The hull boundaries are then offset from the midline by this multiplier times the chosen ATR, and further smoothed with a fixed EMA to reduce jitter. Regime direction from EMA comparison gates which boundary acts as support or resistance, with initialization seeding arrays on the first bar to handle state persistence. No higher timeframe data is used, so all logic runs on the chart's native bars without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Pair — Selects preset lengths for fast and slow EMAs, influencing regime sensitivity and midline stability. Default: "21/55". Trade-offs/Tips: Faster pairs like "9/21" increase cross frequency for scalping but raise false signals; slower like "50/200" smooths for swings, potentially missing early turns. Use Manual for fine control.
Manual Fast — Sets fast EMA length when Manual mode is active; shorter values make regime switches quicker. Default: 21. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower than 10 risks over-reactivity; pair with slow at least double for clear separation.
Manual Slow — Sets slow EMA length when Manual mode is active; longer values anchor the midline more firmly. Default: 55. Trade-offs/Tips: Above 100 adds lag in trends; balance with fast to avoid perpetual neutrality.
ATR Lengths (comma-separated) — Defines candidate periods for ATR smoothing; more options allow finer auto-selection. Default: "7,10,14,21,28,35". Trade-offs/Tips: Fewer candidates speed computation but may miss optimal fits; keep under 10 for efficiency.
Containment Window — Number of recent bars the hull must fully enclose highs/lows of; larger windows favor stability. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (under 20) adapts faster to breaks but increases breach risk; longer smooths but delays response.
Min Multiplier Floor — Lowest allowed multiplier for hull width; prevents overly tight bands in low volatility. Default: 0.5. Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to 0.75 for conservative enclosures; too low allows pinches that flip easily.
Max Multiplier Cap — Highest allowed multiplier; caps expansion in spikes to avoid wide, lagging bands. Default: 1.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Lower to 0.75 tightens overall; higher permits more room but risks detachment from price.
Padding (+) — Adds buffer to the auto-multiplier for safer containment without exact touches. Default: 0.05. Trade-offs/Tips: Increase to 0.10 in gappy markets; minimal values hug closer but may still breach on outliers.
Fill Between (Mid ↔ Supertrend) — Toggles shaded area between midline and active hull for trend visualization. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for cleaner charts; pairs well with transparency tweaks.
Base Fill Transparency (0..100) — Sets default opacity of fills; higher values make them subtler. Default: 80. Trade-offs/Tips: Under 50 overwhelms price action; adjust with darken boost for emphasis.
Darken on Trend Change — Enables temporary opacity increase after regime shifts to spotlight transitions. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Off for steady visuals; on aids spotting reversals in real-time.
Darken Fade Bars — Duration in bars for the darken effect to ramp back to base; longer prolongs highlight. Default: 8. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter (4-6) for fast-paced charts; longer holds attention on changes.
Darken Boost at Change (Δ transp) — Intensity of opacity reduction at crossover; higher values make shifts more prominent. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Cap at 70 to avoid blackout; tune down if fades obscure details.
Show Supertrend Line — Displays the active hull boundary as a line. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Hide for fill-only views; linewidth fixed at 3 for visibility.
Show EMA Cross Markers — Places circles and labels at crossover points for entry cues. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in clutter; labels show "Buy"/"Sell" at absolute positions.
Alert: EMA Cross Up (Long) — Triggers notification on bullish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Pair with filters; once-per-bar frequency.
Alert: EMA Cross Down (Short) — Triggers notification on bearish crossover. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Use for exits; ensure broker integration.
Show Debug — Reveals internal diagnostics like selected ATR details (if implemented). Default: false. Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for troubleshooting selections; minimal overhead.
Reading & Interpretation
Bullish regime shows a green line below price as support, with upward fill from midline; bearish uses red line above as resistance, downward fill. Crossovers flip the active boundary, marked by tiny green/red circles and "Buy"/"Sell" labels at the hull level. Fills start at base transparency but darken sharply at changes, fading over the specified bars to signal fresh momentum. If the hull rarely breaches during trends, containment is effective; frequent touches without flips indicate tight adaptation. Debug mode (when enabled) overlays text or plots for selected length and multiplier, helping verify auto-choices.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green "Buy" label above prior low structure; confirm with higher high. Trail stops along the green hull line, tightening as fills stabilize post-fade.
- Exits/Stops: Conservative exit on opposite crossover or hull breach; aggressive hold until fade completes if volume supports. Use darken boost as a volatility cue—high delta suggests waiting for confirmation.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 15m-4h; for crypto, widen containment to 75 for gaps. Layer on volume oscillator for cross filters; avoid on low-liquidity assets where ATR candidates skew.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar logic ensures signals confirm at bar end, with live bars updating hull adaptively but no repaints since no future data or security calls are used. Arrays persist ATR states across bars, initialized once with candidates parsed from string. Small fixed loops (over 6 lengths max, inner up to 50) run per bar, capped by max_bars_back=500 for history needs. Resources stay low with 500 labels/lines limits, but dense charts may hit on markers. Known limits include initial lag until containment history builds (50+ bars), potential wide bands on gaps, and suboptimal selections if candidates omit ideal lengths.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with "21/55" pair, 50-window, 0.5-1.0 multipliers, and 80% transparency for balanced responsiveness on daily charts. For too many flips, raise min floor to 0.75 or add lengths like "42"; for sluggishness, shorten window to 30 or pick faster pair. In high-vol environments, boost padding to 0.10; for smoother visuals, extend fade bars to 12.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for trend regime and adaptive boundaries, aiding entry/exit timing in directional markets. It is not a standalone system—pair with price structure, risk sizing, and broader context. Not predictive of turns, just reactive to containment and crosses.

Outside Candle Session Breakout [CHE]Outside Candle Session Breakout
Session - anchored HTF levels for clear market-structure and precise breakout context
Summary
This indicator is a relevant market-structure tool. It anchors the session to the first higher-timeframe bar, then activates only when the second bar forms an outside condition. Price frequently reacts around these anchors, which provides precise breakout context and a clear overview on both lower and higher timeframes. Robustness comes from close-based validation, an adaptive volatility and tick buffer, first-touch enforcement, optional retest, one-signal-per-session, cooldown, and an optional trend filter.
Pine version: v6. Overlay: true.
Motivation: Why this design?
Short-term breakout tools often trigger during noise, duplicate within the same session, or drift when volatility shifts. The core idea is to gate signals behind a meaningful structure event: a first-bar anchor and a subsequent outside bar on the session timeframe. This narrows attention to structurally important breaks while adaptive buffering and debouncing reduce false or mid-run triggers.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Simple high-low breaks or fixed buffers without session context.
Architecture: Session-anchored first-bar high/low; outside-bar gate; close-based confirmation with an adaptive ATR and tick buffer; first-touch enforcement; optional retest window; one-signal-per-session and cooldown; optional EMA trend and slope filter; higher-timeframe aggregation with lookahead disabled; themeable visuals and a range fill between levels.
Practical effect: Cleaner timing at structurally relevant levels, fewer redundant or late triggers, and better multi-timeframe situational awareness.
How it works (technical)
The chart timeframe is mapped to an analysis timeframe and a session timeframe.
The first session bar defines the anchor high and low. The setup becomes active only after the next bar forms an outside range relative to that first bar.
While active, the script tracks these anchors and checks for a breakout beyond a buffered threshold, using closing prices or wicks by preference.
The buffer scales with volatility and is limited by a minimum tick floor. First-touch enforcement avoids mid-run confirmations.
Optional retest requires a pullback to the raw anchor followed by a new close beyond the buffered level within a user window.
Optional trend gating uses an EMA on the analysis timeframe, including an optional slope requirement and price-location check.
Higher-timeframe data is requested with lookahead disabled. Values can update during a forming higher-timeframe bar; waiting and confirmation mitigate timing shifts.
Parameter Guide
Enable Long / Enable Short — Direction toggles. Default: true / true. Reduces unwanted side.
Wait Candles — Minimum bars after outside confirmation before entries. Default: five. More waiting increases stability.
Close-based Breakout — Confirm on candle close beyond buffer. Default: true. For wick sensitivity, disable.
ATR Buffer — Enables adaptive volatility buffer. Default: true.
ATR Multiplier — Buffer scaling. Default: zero point two. Increase to reduce noise.
Ticks Buffer — Minimum buffer in ticks. Default: two. Protects in quiet markets.
Cooldown Bars — Blocks new signals after a trigger. Default: three.
One Signal per Session — Prevents duplicates within a session. Default: true.
Require Retest — Pullback to raw anchor before confirming. Default: false.
Retest Window — Bars allowed for retest completion. Default: five.
HTF Trend Filter — EMA-based gating. Default: false.
EMA Length — EMA period. Default: two hundred.
Slope — Require EMA slope direction. Default: true.
Price Above/Below EMA — Require price location relative to EMA. Default: true.
Show Levels / Highlight Session / Show Signals — Visual controls. Default: true.
Color Theme — “Blue-Green” (default), “Monochrome”, “Earth Tones”, “Classic”, “Dark”.
Time Period Box — Visibility, size, position, and colors for the info box. (Optional)
Reading & Interpretation
The two level lines represent the session’s first-bar high and low. The filled band illustrates the active session range.
“OUT” marks that the outside condition is confirmed and the setup is live.
“LONG” or “SHORT” appears only when the breakout clears buffer, debounce, and optional gates.
Background tint indicates sessions where the setup is valid.
Alerts fire on confirmed long or short breakout events.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend-following: Keep close-based validation, ATR buffer near the default, one-signal-per-session enabled; add EMA trend and slope for directional bias.
Retest confirmation: Enable retest with a short window to prioritize cleaner continuation after a pullback.
Lower-timeframe scalping: Reduce waiting and cooldown slightly; keep a small tick buffer to filter micro-whips.
Swing and position context: Increase ATR multiplier and waiting; maintain once-per-session to limit duplicates.
Timeframe Tiers and Trader Profiles
The script adapts its internal mapping based on the chart timeframe:
Under fifteen minutes → Analysis: one minute; Session: sixty minutes. Useful for scalpers and high-frequency intraday reads.
Between fifteen and under sixty minutes → Analysis: fifteen minutes; Session: one day. Suits day traders who need intraday alignment to the daily session.
Between sixty minutes and under one day → Analysis: sixty minutes; Session: one week. Serves intraday-to-swing transitions and end-of-day planning.
Between one day and under one week → Analysis: two hundred forty minutes; Session: two weeks. Fits swing traders who monitor multi-day structure.
Between one week and under thirty days → Analysis: one day; Session: three months. Supports position traders seeking quarterly context.
Thirty days and above → Analysis: one day; Session: twelve months. Provides a broad annual anchor for macro context.
These tiers are designed to keep anchors meaningful across regimes while preserving responsiveness appropriate to the trader profile.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals can be validated on closed bars through close-based logic; enabling this reduces intrabar flicker.
Higher-timeframe values may evolve during a forming bar; waiting parameters and the outside-bar gate reduce, but do not remove, this effect.
Resource footprint is light; the script uses standard indicators and a single higher-timeframe request per stream.
Known limits: rare setups during very quiet periods, sensitivity to gaps, and reduced reliability on illiquid symbols.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with close-based validation on, ATR buffer on with a multiplier near zero point two, tick buffer two, cooldown three, once-per-session on.
Too many flips: increase the ATR multiplier and cooldown; consider enabling the EMA filter and slope.
Too sluggish: reduce the ATR multiplier and waiting; disable retest.
Choppy conditions: keep close-based validation, increase tick buffer, shorten the retest window.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer for session-anchored breakouts with stability gates. It is not a complete trading system, risk framework, or predictive engine. Combine it with structured analysis, position sizing, and disciplined risk controls.

TASC 2025.11 The Points and Line Chart█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Points and Line Chart described by Mohamed Ashraf Mahfouz and Mohamed Meregy in the November 2025 edition of the TASC Traders' Tips , "Efficient Display of Irregular Time Series”. This novel chart type interprets regular time series chart data to create an irregular time series chart.
█ CONCEPTS
When formatting data for display on a price chart, there are two main categorizations of chart types: regular time series (RTS) and irregular time series (ITS).
RTS charts, such as a typical candlestick chart, collect data over a specified amount of time and display it at one point. A one-minute candle, for example, represents the entirety of price movements within the minute that it represents.
ITS charts display data only after certain conditions are met. Since they do not plot at a consistent time period, they are called “irregular”.
Typically, ITS charts, such as Point and Figure (P&F) and Renko charts, focus on price change, plotting only when a certain threshold of change occurs.
The Points and Line (P&L) chart operates similarly to a P&F chart, using price change to determine when to plot points. However, instead of plotting the price in points, the P&L chart (by default) plots the closing price from RTS data. In other words, the P&L chart plots its points at the actual RTS close, as opposed to (price) intervals based on point size. This approach creates an ITS while still maintaining a reference to the RTS data, allowing us to gain a better understanding of time while consolidating the chart into an ITS format.
█ USAGE
Because the P&L chart forms bars based on price action instead of time, it displays displays significantly more history than a typical RTS chart. With this view, we are able to more easily spot support and resistance levels, which we could use when looking to place trades.
In the chart below, we can see over 13 years of data consolidated into one single view.
To view specific chart details, hover over each point of the chart to see a list of information.
In addition to providing a compact view of price movement over larger periods, this new chart type helps make classic chart patterns easier to interpret. When considering breakouts, the closing price provides a clearer representation of the actual breakout, as opposed to point size plots which are limited.
Because P&L is a new charting type, this script still requires a standard RTS chart for proper calculations. However, the main price chart is not intended for interpretation alongside the P&L chart; users can hide the main price series to keep the chart clean.
█ DISPLAYS
This indicator creates two displays: the "Price Display" and the "Data Display".
With the "Price display" setting, users can choose between showing a line or OHLC candles for the P&L drawing. The line display shows the close price of the P&L chart. In the candle display, the close price remains the same, while the open, high, and low values depend on the price action between points.
With the "Data display" setting, users can enable the display of a histogram that shows either the total volume or days/bars between the points in the P&L chart. For example, a reading of 12 days would indicate that the time since the last point was 12 days.
Note: The "Days" setting actually shows the number of chart bars elapsed between P&L points. The displayed value represents days only if the chart uses the "1D" timeframe.
The "Overlay P&L on chart" input controls whether the P&L line or candles appear on the main chart pane or in a separate pane.
Users can deactivate either display by selecting "None" from the corresponding input.
Technical Note: Due to drawing limitations, this indicator has the following display limits:
The line display can show data to 10,000 P&L points.
The candle display and tooltips show data for up to 500 points.
The histograms show data for up to 3,333 points.
█ INPUTS
Reversal Amount: The number of points/steps required to determine a reversal.
Scale size Method: The method used to filter price movements. By default, the P&L chart uses the same scaling method as the P&F chart. Optionally, this scaling method can be changed to use ATR or Percent.
P&L Method: The prices to plot and use for filtering:
“Close” plots the closing price and uses it to determine movements.
“High/Low” uses the high price on upside moves and low price on downside moves.
"Point Size" uses the closing price for filtration, but locks the price to plot at point size intervals.
Institutional Orderflow Pro — VWAP, Delta, and Liquidity
Institutional Orderflow Pro is a next-generation order flow analysis indicator designed to help traders identify institutional participation, directional bias, and exhaustion zones in real time.
Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, it merges VWAP dynamics, cumulative delta, relative volume, and liquidity proximity into a single unified dashboard that updates tick-by-tick — without repainting.
The indicator is open-source, transparent, and educational. It aims to provide traders with a clearer read on who controls the market — buyers or sellers — and where liquidity lies.
The indicator combines multiple institutional-grade analytics into one framework:
RVOL (Relative Volume) = Compares current volume against the average of recent bars to identify strong institutional participation.
zΔ (Delta Z-Score) = Normalizes the buying/selling delta to reveal unusually aggressive market behavior.
CVDΔ (Cumulative Volume Delta Change) = Shows which side (buyers/sellers) is dominating this bar’s order flow.
VWAP Direction & Slope = Determines whether price is trading above/below VWAP and whether VWAP is trending or flat.
PD Distance (Prev Day Confluence) = Measures the current price’s distance from previous day’s high, low, close, and VWAP in ATR units — highlighting liquidity zones.
ABS/EXH Detection = Identifies institutional absorption and exhaustion patterns where momentum may reverse.
Bias Computation = Combines VWAP direction + slope to give a simplified regime signal: UP, DOWN, or FLAT.
All metrics are displayed through a color-coded, non-repainting HUD:
🟢 = bullish / favorable conditions
🔴 = bearish / weak conditions
⚫ = neutral / flat
🟡 = absorption (potential trap zone)
🟠 = exhaustion (momentum fading)
| Metric | Signal | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **RVOL ≥ 1.3** | 🟢 | High institutional activity — valid setup zone |
| **zΔ ≥ 1.2 / ≤ -1.2** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Unusual buy/sell aggression |
| **CVDΔ > 0** | 🟢 | Buyers dominate this bar |
| **VWAP dir ↑ / ↓** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Institutional bias long/short |
| **Slope ok = YES** | 🟢 | Trending market |
| **PD dist ≤ 0.35 ATR** | 🟢 | Near key liquidity zones |
| **Bias = UP/DOWN** | 🟢 / 🔴 | Trend-aligned environment |
| **ABS/EXH active** | 🟡 / 🟠 | Caution — possible reversal zone |
How to Use
Confirm Volume Context → RVOL > 1.2
Align with Bias → Take longs only when Bias = UP, shorts only when Bias = DOWN.
Check Slope and VWAP Dir → Ensure trending context (Slope = YES).
Confirm CVD and zΔ → Flow should agree with price direction.
Avoid ABS/EXH Triggers → These signal exhaustion or absorption by large players.
Enter Near PD Zones → Ideal trade zones are within 0.35 ATR of prior-day levels.
This multi-factor confirmation reduces noise and focuses only on high-probability institutional setups.
Originality
This script was written from scratch in Pine v6.
It does not reuse existing public indicators except for standard built-ins (ta.vwap, ta.atr, etc.).
The unique combination of delta z-scoring, VWAP slope filtering, and real-time confluence zones distinguishes it from typical orderflow tools or cumulative delta overlays.
The core innovation is its merged real-time HUD that integrates institutional metrics and natural-language feedback directly on the chart, allowing traders to read market context intuitively rather than decode multiple subplots.
Notes & Disclaimers
This indicator does not repaint.
It’s intended for educational and analytical purposes only — not as financial advice or a guaranteed signal system.
Works best on liquid instruments (Futures, Indices, FX majors).
Avoid non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.) for accurate readings.

Forecast PriceTime Oracle [CHE] Forecast PriceTime Oracle — Prioritizes quality over quantity by using Power Pivots via RSI %B metric to forecast future pivot highs/lows in price and time
Summary
This indicator identifies potential pivot highs and lows based on out-of-bounds conditions in a modified RSI %B metric, then projects future occurrences by estimating time intervals and price changes from historical medians. It provides visual forecasts via diagonal and horizontal lines, tracks achievement with color changes and symbols, and displays a dashboard for statistical overview including hit rates. Signals are robust due to median-based aggregation, which reduces outlier influence, and optional tolerance settings for near-misses, making it suitable for anticipating reversals in ranging or trending markets.
Motivation: Why this design?
Standard pivot detection often lags or generates false signals in volatile conditions, missing the timing of true extrema. This design leverages out-of-bounds excursions in RSI %B to capture "Power Pivots" early—focusing on quality over quantity by prioritizing significant extrema rather than every minor swing—then uses historical deltas in time and price to forecast the next ones, addressing the need for proactive rather than reactive analysis. It assumes that pivot spacing follows statistical patterns, allowing users to prepare entries or exits ahead of confirmation.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Diverges from traditional ta.pivothigh/low, which require fixed left/right lengths and confirm only after bars close, often too late for dynamic markets.
- Architecture differences:
- Detects extrema during OOB runs rather than post-bar symmetry.
- Aggregates deltas via medians (or alternatives) over a user-defined history, capping arrays to manage resources.
- Applies tolerance thresholds for hit detection, with options for percentage, absolute, or volatility-adjusted (ATR) flexibility.
- Freezes achieved forecasts with visual states to avoid clutter.
- Practical effect: Charts show proactive dashed projections instead of retrospective dots; the dashboard reveals evolving hit rates, helping users gauge reliability over time without manual calculation.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a smoothed RSI over a specified length, then applies Bollinger Bands to derive %B, flagging out-of-bounds below zero or above one hundred as potential run starts. During these runs, it tracks the extreme high or low price and bar index. Upon exit from the OOB state, it confirms the Power Pivot at that extreme and records the time delta (bars since prior) and price change percentage to rolling arrays.
For forecasts, it calculates the median (or selected statistic) of recent deltas, subtracts the confirmation delay (bars from apex to exit), and projects ahead by that adjusted amount. Price targets use the median change applied to the origin pivot value. Lines are drawn from the apex to the target bar and price, with a short horizontal at the endpoint. Arrays store up to five active forecasts, pruning oldest on overflow.
Tolerance adjusts hit checks: for highs, if the high reaches or exceeds the target (adjusted by tolerance); for lows, if the low drops to or below. Once hit, the forecast freezes, changing colors and symbols, and extends the horizontal to the hit bar. Persistent variables maintain last pivot states across bars; arrays initialize empty and grow until capped at history length.
Parameter Guide
Source: Specifies the data input for the RSI computation, influencing how price action is captured. Default is close. For conservative signals in noisy environments, switch to high; using low boosts responsiveness but may increase false positives.
RSI Length: Sets the smoothing period for the RSI calculation, with longer values helping to filter out whipsaws. Default is 32. Opt for shorter lengths like 14 to 21 on faster timeframes for quicker reactions, or extend to 50 or more in strong trends to enhance stability at the cost of some lag.
BB Length: Defines the period for the Bollinger Bands applied to %B, directly affecting how often out-of-bounds conditions are triggered. Default is 20. Align it with the RSI length: shorter periods detect more potential runs but risk added noise, while longer ones provide better filtering yet might overlook emerging extrema.
BB StdDev: Controls the multiplier for the standard deviation in the bands, where wider settings reduce false out-of-bounds alerts. Default is 2.0. Narrow it to 1.5 for highly volatile assets to catch more signals, or broaden to 2.5 or higher to emphasize only major movements.
Show Price Forecast: Enables or disables the display of diagonal and target lines along with their updates. Default is true. Turn it off for simpler chart views, or keep it on to aid in trade planning.
History Length: Determines the number of recent pivot samples used for median-based statistics, where more history leads to smoother but potentially less current estimates. Default is 50. Start with a minimum of 5 to build data; limit to 100 to 200 to prevent outdated regimes from skewing results.
Max Lookahead: Limits the number of bars projected forward to avoid overly extended lines. Default is 500. Reduce to 100 to 200 for intraday focus, or increase for longer swing horizons.
Stat Method: Selects the aggregation technique for time and price deltas: Median for robustness against outliers, Trimmed Mean (20%) for a balanced trim of extremes, or 75th Percentile for a conservative upward tilt. Default is Median. Use Median for even distributions; switch to Percentile when emphasizing potential upside in trending conditions.
Tolerance Type: Chooses the approach for flexible hit detection: None for exact matches, Percentage for relative adjustments, Absolute for fixed point offsets, or ATR for scaling with volatility. Default is None. Begin with Percentage at 0.5 percent for currency pairs, or ATR for adapting to cryptocurrency swings.
Tolerance %: Provides the relative buffer when using Percentage mode, forgiving small deviations. Default is 0.5. Set between 0.2 and 1.0 percent; higher values accommodate gaps but can overstate hit counts.
Tolerance Points: Establishes a fixed offset in price units for Absolute mode. Default is 0.0010. Tailor to the asset, such as 0.0001 for forex pairs, and validate against past wick behavior.
ATR Length: Specifies the period for the Average True Range in dynamic tolerance calculations. Default is 14. This is the standard setting; shorten to 10 to reflect more recent volatility.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the ATR scale for tolerance width in ATR mode. Default is 0.5. Range from 0.3 for tighter precision to 0.8 for greater leniency.
Dashboard Location: Positions the summary table on the chart. Default is Bottom Right. Consider Top Left for better visibility on mobile devices.
Dashboard Size: Controls the text scaling for dashboard readability. Default is Normal. Choose Tiny for dense overlays or Large for detailed review sessions.
Text/Frame Color: Sets the color scheme for dashboard text and borders. Default is gray. Align with your chart theme, opting for lighter shades on dark backgrounds.
Reading & Interpretation
Forecast lines appear as dashed diagonals from confirmed pivots to projected targets, with solid horizontals at endpoints marking price levels. Open targets show a target symbol (🎯); achieved ones switch to a trophy symbol (🏆) in gray, with lines fading to gray. The dashboard summarizes median time/price deltas, sample counts, and hit rates—rising rates indicate improving forecast alignment. Colors differentiate highs (red) from lows (lime); frozen states signal validated projections.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on low forecast hits during uptrends (higher highs/lower lows structure); filter with EMA crossovers to ignore counter-trend signals.
- Reversal setups: Short above high projections in overextended rallies; use volume spikes as confirmation to reduce false breaks.
- Exits/Stops: Trail stops to prior pivot lows; conservative on low hit rates (below 50%), aggressive above 70% with tight tolerance.
- Multi-TF: Apply on 1H for entries, 4H for time projections; combine with Ichimoku clouds for confluence on targets.
- Risk management: Position size inversely to delta uncertainty (wider history = smaller bets); avoid low-liquidity sessions.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Confirmation occurs on OOB exit, so live-bar pivots may adjust until close, but projections update only on events to minimize repaint. No security or HTF calls, so no external lookahead issues. Arrays cap at history length with shifts; forecasts limited to five active, pruning FIFO. Loops iterate over small fixed sizes (e.g., up to 50 for stats), efficient on most hardware. Max lines/labels at 500 prevent overflow.
Known limits: Sensitive to OOB parameter tuning—too tight misses runs; assumes stationary pivot stats, which may shift in regime changes like low vol. Gaps or holidays distort time deltas.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit forex/crypto on 1H–4H: RSI 32/BB 20 for balanced detection, Median stats over 50 samples, None tolerance for exactness.
- Too many false runs: Increase BB StdDev to 2.5 or RSI Length to 50 for filtering.
- Lagging forecasts: Shorten History Length to 20; switch to 75th Percentile for forward bias.
- Missed near-hits: Enable Percentage tolerance at 0.3% to capture wicks without overcounting.
- Cluttered charts: Reduce Max Lookahead to 200; disable dashboard on lower TFs.

This is a forecasting visualization layer for pivot-based analysis, highlighting statistical projections from historical patterns. It is not a standalone system—pair with price action, volume, and risk rules. Not predictive of all turns; focuses on OOB-derived extrema, ignoring volume or news impacts.

Anchored VWAP Polyline [CHE] Anchored VWAP Polyline — Anchored VWAP drawn as a polyline from a user-defined bar count with last-bar updates and optional labels
Summary
This indicator renders an anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price as a continuous polyline starting from a user-selected anchor point a specified number of bars back. It accumulates price multiplied by volume only from the anchor forward and resets cleanly when the anchor moves. Drawing is object-based (polyline and labels) and updated on the most recent bar only, which reduces flicker and avoids excessive redraws. Optional labels mark the anchor and, conditionally, a delta label when the current close is below the historical close at the anchor offset.
Motivation: Why this design?
Anchored VWAP is often used to track fair value after a specific event such as a swing, breakout, or session start. Traditional plot-based lines can repaint during live updates or incur overhead when frequently redrawn. This implementation focuses on explicit state management, last-bar rendering, and object recycling so the line stays stable while remaining responsive when the anchor changes. The design emphasizes deterministic updates and simple session gating from the anchor.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Classic VWAP lines plotted from session open or full history.
Architecture differences:
Anchor defined by a fixed bar offset rather than session or day boundaries.
Object-centric drawing via `polyline` with an array of `chart.point` objects.
Last-bar update pattern with deletion and replacement of the polyline to apply all points cleanly.
Conditional labels: an anchor marker and an optional delta label only when the current close is below the historical close at the offset.
Practical effect: You get a visually continuous anchored VWAP that resets when the anchor shifts and remains clean on chart refreshes. The labels act as lightweight diagnostics without clutter.
How it works (technical)
The anchor index is computed as the latest bar index minus the user-defined bar count.
A session flag turns true from the anchor forward; prior bars are excluded.
Two persistent accumulators track the running sum of price multiplied by volume and the running sum of volume; they reset when the session flag turns from false to true.
The anchored VWAP is the running sum divided by the running volume whenever both are valid and the volume is not zero.
Points are appended to an array only when the anchored VWAP is valid. On the most recent bar, any existing polyline is deleted and replaced with a new one built from the point array.
Labels are refreshed on the most recent bar:
A yellow warning label appears when there are not enough bars to compute the reference values.
The anchor label marks the anchor bar.
The delta label appears only when the current close is below the close at the anchor offset; otherwise it is suppressed.
No higher-timeframe requests are used; repaint is limited to normal live-bar behavior.
Parameter Guide
Bars back — Sets the anchor offset in bars; default two hundred thirty-three; minimum one. Larger values extend the anchored period and increase stability but respond more slowly to regime changes.
Labels — Toggles all labels; default enabled. Disable to keep the chart clean when using multiple instances.
Reading & Interpretation
The polyline represents the anchored VWAP from the chosen anchor to the current bar. Price above the line suggests strength relative to the anchored baseline; price below suggests weakness.
The anchor label shows where the accumulation starts.
The delta label appears only when today’s close is below the historical close at the offset; it provides a quick context for negative drift relative to that reference.
A yellow message at the current bar indicates the chart does not have enough history to compute the reference comparison yet.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Anchor after a breakout bar or a swing confirmation. Use the anchored VWAP as dynamic support or resistance; look for clean retests and holds for continuation.
Mean reversion: Anchor at a local extreme and watch for approaches back toward the line; require structure confirmation to avoid early entries.
Session or event studies: Re-set the anchor around earnings, macro releases, or session opens by adjusting the bar offset.
Combinations: Pair with structure tools such as swing highs and lows, or with volatility measures to filter chop. The labels can be disabled when combining multiple instances to maintain chart clarity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: The line is updated on the most recent bar only; historical values do not rely on future bars. Normal live-bar movement applies until the bar closes.
No higher timeframe: There is no `security` call; repaint paths related to higher-timeframe lookahead do not apply here.
Resources: Uses one polyline object that is rebuilt on the most recent bar, plus two labels when conditions are met. `max_bars_back` is two thousand. Arrays store points from the anchor forward; extremely long anchors or very long charts increase memory usage.
Known limits: With very thin volume, the VWAP can be unavailable for some bars. Very large anchors reduce responsiveness. Labels use ATR for vertical placement; extreme gaps can place them close to extremes.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Bars back two hundred thirty-three with Labels enabled works well on many assets and timeframes.
Too noisy around the line: Increase Bars back to extend the accumulation window.
Too sluggish after regime changes: Decrease Bars back to focus on a shorter anchored period.
Chart clutter with multiple instances: Disable Labels while keeping the polyline visible.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization of an anchored VWAP with optional diagnostics. It is not a full trading system and does not include entries, exits, or position management. Use it alongside clear market structure, risk controls, and a plan for trade management. It does not predict future prices.
Inputs with defaults
Bars back: two hundred thirty-three bars, minimum one.
Labels: enabled or disabled toggle, default enabled.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: true
Primary outputs: one polyline, optional labels (anchor, conditional delta, and a warning when insufficient bars).
Metrics and functions: volume, ATR for label offset, object drawing via polyline and chart points, last-bar update pattern.
Special techniques: session gating from the anchor, persistent state, object recycling, explicit guards against unavailable values and zero volume.
Compatibility and assets: Designed for standard candlestick or bar charts across liquid assets and common timeframes.
Diagnostics: Yellow warning label when history is insufficient.

HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

Relative Strength Index Remastered [CHE]Relative Strength Index Remastered — Enhanced RSI with robust divergence detection using price-based pivots and line-of-sight validation to reduce false signals compared to the standard RSI indicator.
Summary
RSI Remastered builds on the classic Relative Strength Index by adding a more reliable divergence detection system that relies on price pivots rather than RSI pivots alone, incorporating a line-of-sight check to ensure the RSI path between points remains clear. This approach filters out many false divergences that occur in the original RSI indicator due to its volatile pivot detection on the RSI line itself. Users benefit from clearer reversal and continuation signals, especially in noisy markets, with optional hidden divergence support for trend confirmation. The core RSI calculation and smoothing options remain familiar, but the divergence logic provides materially fewer alerts while maintaining sensitivity.
Motivation: Why this design?
The standard RSI indicator often generates misleading divergence signals because it detects pivots directly on the RSI values, which can fluctuate erratically in volatile conditions, leading to frequent false positives that confuse traders during ranging or choppy price action. RSI Remastered addresses this by shifting pivot detection to the underlying price highs and lows, which are more stable, and adding a validation step that confirms the RSI line does not cross the direct path between pivot points. This design targets the real problem of over-signaling in the original, promoting more actionable insights without altering the RSI's core momentum measurement.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: The classical TradingView RSI indicator, which uses simple RSI-based pivot detection for divergences.
- Architecture differences:
- Pivot identification on price extremes (highs and lows) instead of RSI values, extracting RSI levels at those points for comparison.
- Addition of a line-of-sight validation that checks the RSI path bar by bar between pivots to prevent signals where the line is interrupted.
- Inclusion of hidden divergence types alongside regular ones, using the same robust framework.
- Configurable drawing of connecting lines between validated pivot RSI points for visual clarity.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer but higher-quality divergence markers and lines, reducing clutter from the original's frequent RSI pivot triggers; this matters for avoiding whipsaws in intraday trading, where the standard version might flag dozens of invalid setups per session.

Aspect: Code Length/Structure
Original RSI: ~100 lines, simple if-blocks for bull/bear
Robust Variant: ~150 lines, extended helper functions (e.g., inRange, line_clear), var group for inputs
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the core RSI value based on recent price changes, separating upward and downward movements over the specified length and smoothing them to derive a momentum reading scaled between zero and one hundred. This value is then plotted in a separate pane with fixed upper and lower reference lines at seventy and thirty, along with optional gradient fills to highlight overbought and oversold zones.
For smoothing, a moving average type is applied to the RSI if enabled, with an option to add bands around it based on the variability of recent RSI values scaled by a multiplier. Divergence detection activates on confirmed price pivots: lows for bullish checks and highs for bearish. At each new pivot, the system retrieves the bar index and values (price and RSI) for the current and prior pivot, ensuring they fall within a configurable bar range to avoid unrelated points.
Comparisons then assess whether the price has made a lower low (or higher high) while the RSI at those points moves in the opposite direction—higher for bullish regular, lower for bearish regular. For hidden types, the directions reverse to capture trend strength. The line-of-sight check calculates the straight path between the two RSI points and verifies that the actual RSI values in between stay entirely above (for bullish) or below (for bearish) that path, breaking the signal if any bar violates it. Valid signals trigger shapes at the RSI level of the new pivot and optional lines connecting the points. Initialization uses built-in functions to track prior occurrences, with states persisting across bars for accurate historical comparisons. No higher timeframe data is used, so confirmation occurs after the right pivot bars close, minimizing live-bar repaints.
Parameter Guide
Length — Controls the period for measuring price momentum changes — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but add noise and more false signals; longer smooths trends but delays entries in fast markets.
Source — Selects the price input for RSI calculation — Default: Close — Trade-offs/Tips: Use high or low for volatility focus, but close works best for most assets; mismatches can skew overbought/oversold reads.
Calculate Divergence — Enables the enhanced divergence logic — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for pure RSI view to save computation; essential for signal reliability over the standard method.
Type (Smoothing) — Chooses the moving average applied to RSI — Default: SMA — Trade-offs/Tips: None for raw RSI; EMA for quicker adaptation, but SMA reduces whipsaws; Bollinger Bands option adds volatility context at cost of added lines.
Length (Smoothing) — Period for the smoothing average — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Match RSI length for consistency; shorter boosts signal speed but amplifies noise in the smoothed line.
BB StdDev — Multiplier for band width around smoothed RSI — Default: 2.0 — Trade-offs/Tips: Lower narrows bands for tighter signals, risking more touches; higher widens for fewer but stronger breakouts.
Pivot Left — Bars to the left for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Increase for stricter pivots in noisy data, reducing signals; too high delays confirmation excessively.
Pivot Right — Bars to the right for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Balances with left for symmetry; longer right ensures maturity but shifts signals backward.
Max Bars Between Pivots — Upper limit on distance for valid pivot pairs — Default: 60 — Trade-offs/Tips: Tighten for short-term trades to focus recent action; widen for swing setups but risks unrelated comparisons.
Min Bars Between Pivots — Lower limit to avoid clustered pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to filter micro-moves; too low invites overlapping signals like the original RSI.
Detect Hidden — Includes trend-continuation hidden types — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for full trend analysis; disable simplifies to reversals only, akin to basic RSI.
Draw Lines — Shows connecting lines between valid pivots — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Turn off for cleaner charts; helps visually confirm line-of-sight in backtests.
Reading & Interpretation
The main RSI line oscillates between zero and one hundred, crossing above fifty suggesting building momentum and below indicating weakness; touches near seventy or thirty flag potential extremes. The optional smoothed line and bands provide a filtered view—price above the upper band on the RSI pane hints at overextension. Divergence shapes appear as upward labels for bullish (lime for regular, teal for hidden) and downward for bearish (red regular, orange hidden) at the pivot's RSI level, signaling a mismatch only after validation. Connecting lines, if drawn, slope between points without RSI interference, their color matching the shape type; a dashed style denotes hidden. Fewer shapes overall compared to the standard RSI mean higher conviction, but always confirm with price structure.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs on regular bullish shapes near support with higher highs in price; filter hidden bullish for pullback buys in uptrends, pairing with a rising smoothed RSI above fifty.
- Exits/Stops: Use bearish regular as reversal warnings to tighten stops; hidden bearish in downtrends confirms continuation—exit if lines show RSI crossing the path.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex and stocks on one-hour charts; for crypto volatility, widen pivot ranges to ten; scale min/max bars proportionally on daily for swings, avoiding the original's intraday spam.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm only after the right pivot bars close, so live bars may show tentative pivots that vanish on close, unlike the standard RSI's immediate RSI-pivot triggers—plan for this delay in automation. No higher timeframe calls, so no security-related repaints. Resources include up to two hundred lines and labels for dense charts, with a loop in validation scanning up to three hundred bars between pivots, which is efficient but could slow on very long histories. Known limits: Slight lag at pivot confirmation in trending markets; volatile RSI might rarely miss fine path violations; not ideal for gap-heavy assets where pivots skip.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for balanced momentum and divergence on most timeframes. For too many signals (like the original), raise pivot left/right to eight and min bars to ten to filter noise. If sluggish in trends, shorten RSI length to nine and enable EMA smoothing for faster adaptation. In high-volatility assets, widen max bars to one hundred but disable hidden to focus essentials. For clean reversal hunts, set smoothing to none and lines on.

Squeeze Weekday Frequency [CHE] Squeeze Weekday Frequency — Tracks historical frequency of low-volatility squeezes by weekday to inform timing of low-risk setups.
Summary
This indicator monitors periods of unusually low volatility, defined as when the average true range falls below a percentile threshold, and tallies their occurrences across each weekday. By aggregating these counts over the chart's history, it reveals patterns in squeeze frequency, helping traders avoid or target specific days for reduced noise. The approach uses persistent counters to ensure accurate daily tallies without duplicates, providing a robust view of weekday biases in volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face inconsistent signal quality due to varying volatility patterns tied to the trading calendar, such as quieter mid-week sessions or busier Mondays. This indicator addresses that by binning low-volatility events into weekday buckets, allowing users to spot recurring low-activity days where trends may develop with less whipsaw. It focuses on historical aggregation rather than real-time alerts, emphasizing pattern recognition over prediction.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional volatility trackers like simple moving averages of range or standalone Bollinger Band squeezes, which ignore temporal distribution.
- Architecture differences:
- Employs array-based persistent counters for each weekday to accumulate events without recounting.
- Includes duplicate prevention via day-key tracking to handle sparse data.
- Features on-demand sorting and conditional display modes for focused insights.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table of ranked weekdays instead of transient plots, making it easier to glance at biases like higher squeezes on Fridays, which reduces the need for manual logging and highlights calendar-driven edges.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the average true range over a specified lookback period to gauge recent volatility. It then ranks this value against its own history within a sliding window to identify squeezes when the rank drops below the threshold. Each bar's timestamp is resolved to a weekday using the selected timezone, and a unique day identifier is generated from the date components.
On detecting a squeeze and valid price data, it checks against a stored last-marked day for that weekday to avoid multiple counts per day. If it's a new occurrence, the corresponding weekday counter in an array increments. Total days and data-valid days are tracked separately for context.
At the chart's last bar, it sums all counters to compute shares, sorts weekdays by their squeeze proportions, and populates a table with the selected subset. The table alternates row colors and highlights the peak weekday. An info label above the final bar summarizes totals and the top day. Background shading applies a faint red to squeeze bars for visual confirmation. State persists via variable arrays initialized once, ensuring counts build incrementally without resets.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Sets the lookback for measuring average true range, influencing squeeze sensitivity to short-term swings. Default: 14. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but raise false positives in chop; longer smooths for stability, potentially missing early squeezes.
Percentile Window (bars) — Defines the history length for ranking the current ATR, balancing recent relevance with sample size. Default: 252. Trade-offs/Tips: Narrower windows adapt faster to regime shifts but amplify noise; wider ones stabilize ranks yet lag in fast markets—aim for 100-500 bars on daily charts.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Determines the cutoff for low-volatility classification; lower values flag rarer, tighter squeezes. Default: 10.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Tighter thresholds (under 5) yield fewer but higher-quality signals, reducing clutter; looser (over 20) captures more events at the cost of relevance.
Timezone — Selects the reference for weekday assignment; exchange default aligns with asset's session. Default: Exchange. Trade-offs/Tips: Use custom for cross-market analysis, but verify alignment to avoid offset errors in global pairs.
Show — Toggles the results table visibility for quick on/off of the display. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to save screen space; re-enable for periodic reviews.
Pos — Positions the table on the chart pane for optimal viewing. Default: Top Right. Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom options suit long-term charts; test placements to avoid overlapping price action.
Font — Adjusts text size in the table for readability at different zooms. Default: normal. Trade-offs/Tips: Smaller fonts fit more data but strain eyes on small screens; larger for presentations.
Dark — Applies a dark color scheme to the table for contrast against chart backgrounds. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false for light themes; ensures legibility without manual recoloring.
Display — Filters table rows to show all, top three, or bottom three weekdays by squeeze share. Default: All. Trade-offs/Tips: Use "Top 3" for focus on high-frequency days in active trading; "All" for full audits.
Reading & Interpretation
Red-tinted backgrounds mark individual squeeze bars, indicating current low-volatility conditions. The table's summary row shows the highest squeeze count, its percentage of total events, and the associated weekday in teal. Detail rows list selected weekdays with their absolute counts, proportional shares, and a left arrow for the peak day—higher percentages signal days where squeezes cluster, suggesting potential for calmer trend development. The info label reports overall days observed, valid data days, and reiterates the top weekday with its count. Drifting counts toward zero on a weekday imply rarity, while elevated ones point to habitual low-activity sessions.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for squeezes on high-frequency weekdays as entry filters, confirming with higher highs or lower lows in the structure; pair with momentum oscillators to time breaks.
- Exits/Stops: On low-squeeze days, widen stops for breathing room, tightening them during peak squeeze periods to guard against false breaks—use the table's percentages as a regime proxy.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and indices on hourly or daily frames; for stocks, adjust percentile window to 100 for shorter histories. Scale thresholds up by 5-10 points for high-vol assets like crypto to maintain signal sparsity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Counts update only on confirmed bars via day-key changes, with no future references—live bars may shade red tentatively but tallies finalize at session close.
- security()/HTF: Not used, so no higher-timeframe repaint risks; all computations stay in the chart's resolution.
- Resources: Relies on a fixed-size array of seven elements and small loops for sorting and table fills, capped at 5000 bars back—efficient for most charts but may slow on very long intraday histories.
- Known limits: Ignores weekends and holidays implicitly via data presence; early chart bars lack full percentile context, leading to initial undercounting; assumes continuous sessions, so gaps in data (e.g., news halts) skew totals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the built-in values for broad-market daily charts: ATR at 14, window at 252, threshold at 10. For noisier environments, lower the threshold to 5 and shorten the window to 100 to prioritize rare squeezes. If too few events appear, raise the threshold to 15 and extend ATR to 20 for broader capture. To combat overcounting in sparse data, widen the window to 500 while keeping others stock—monitor the info label's data-days count before trusting patterns.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This serves as a statistical overlay for spotting calendar-based volatility biases, aiding in session selection and filter design. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—integrate it with price action, volume, and broader strategy rules for decisions.

First-Move-Wrong Toolkit [CHE] First-Move-Wrong Toolkit — Session-bound sweep rejection with structure confirmation
Summary
This indicator marks potential “first move wrong” reversals during a defined trading session. It looks for a quick sweep beyond the prior day high or low, or the opening range high or low, followed by rejection and a basic structure confirmation. Optional rules require a retest and a VWAP reclaim in the direction of the trade idea. The script renders session levels as right-extended lines, signals as labels, optional SL/TP guide lines for visualization, and background tints during sweep events. Pivots are confirmed using swing width, which reduces repaint risk compared to live swings.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday reversals often start with a liquidity sweep around obvious highs or lows. Acting on the sweep alone can be noisy, while waiting for structure break and a retest can be slow. This tool balances both by checking a sweep and rejection at session-relevant levels, then requiring a simple structure cue and, optionally, a retest and a VWAP filter. The goal is a clear, rule-based signal layer that is easy to audit on chart without hidden state.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple sweep detectors or basic CHOCH markers that ignore session context and liquidity anchors.
Architecture differences:
Session-aware opening range tracking that finalizes after the chosen minutes from session start.
Daily previous high and low pulled without lookahead, then extended forward as visual anchors.
Confirmed pivot highs and lows to avoid repaint from live, unconfirmed swings.
Optional retest rule using crossover or crossunder at the trigger level.
Optional VWAP filter to demand reclaim in the intended direction.
Global label cooldown to prevent clusters of signals.
Practical effect: Fewer one-off flips around noisy levels, clearer alignment with session structure, and compact visual feedback through lines, labels, and tints.
How it works (technical)
Levels: During the defined session, the script builds an opening range high and low until the configured minute mark after session start, then freezes those levels for the day. It also fetches the previous day high and low from the daily timeframe without lookahead and extends them forward.
Sweep and rejection: A sweep is defined as price moving beyond a target level and then rejecting back inside on the same bar. The script checks this condition separately for highs and lows against opening range and previous-day levels.
Structure validation: Confirmed pivot highs and lows are computed using a symmetric swing width. A bearish idea requires a prior sweep of a high plus a break through the last confirmed swing low. A bullish idea requires a prior sweep of a low plus a break through the last confirmed swing high.
Optional retest: If enabled, a bearish signal needs a cross under the bearish trigger level; a bullish signal needs a cross over the bullish trigger level.
VWAP filter (optional): The script requires a reclaim of VWAP in the intended direction when enabled.
State handling: Opening range values, previous-day lines, and the label cooldown timestamp are stored in persistent variables. Lines are created once and updated each bar to extend forward.
Repaint considerations: Pivots confirm only after the specified swing width, reducing repaint. The daily level request is performed without lookahead. Signals use closed-bar checks implied by crossover and crossunder logic.
Parameter Guide
Session (local) — Defines the active trading window. Default nine to seventeen. Narrower windows focus on the main session drive.
Opening Range (min) — Minutes from session start to finalize OR levels. Default fifteen. Shorter values react faster; longer values stabilize levels.
Use PrevDay H/L levels — Toggle previous-day anchors. On by default.
Use OR H/L levels — Toggle opening range anchors. On by default.
Equal H/L tolerance (ticks) — Intended tolerance for equal highs or lows. Default one. (Unknown/Optional) in current signals.
Swing width — Bars on both sides for confirmed pivots. Default two. Larger values reduce noise but confirm later.
Require CHOCH after sweep — Enforces structure break after a sweep. On by default.
Prefer retest entries — Requires crossover or crossunder of the trigger level. On by default.
VWAP filter — Demands a reclaim of VWAP in signal direction. Off by default.
TP in R (guide) — Multiplier for visual TP guides. Default one. Visualization only.
Show levels / Show signals / Show R-guides — Rendering toggles. R-guides are visual aids, not orders.
Label cooldown (bars) — Minimum bars between labels. Default five. Higher values reduce clusters.
Palette inputs — Colors and transparencies for levels, labels, VWAP, and tints.
Reading & Interpretation
Lines: Dotted lines represent opening range high and low after the OR window completes. Dashed lines represent previous-day high and low.
Signals: “Long” labels appear after a low-side sweep with rejection and structure confirmation, subject to optional retest and VWAP rules. “Short” labels mirror this on the high side.
Background tints: Red-tinted bars indicate a high-side sweep and rejection. Green-tinted bars indicate a low-side sweep and rejection.
R-guides: Circles display a visual stop level at the bar extreme and a target guide based on the selected multiple. They are informational only.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Session reversal scans: During the first hour, watch for sweeps around previous-day or opening range levels, then wait for structure confirmation and optional retest.
Trend following with filters: Combine signals with higher-timeframe structure or a moving average regime check. Ignore signals against the dominant regime.
Exits and stops: Use the visual stop as a reference near the sweep extreme; adapt the target guide to volatility and market conditions.
Multi-asset / Multi-TF: Works on intraday timeframes for liquid futures, indices, forex, and large-cap equities. Start with default settings and adjust swing width and OR minutes to instrument volatility.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivots confirm after the swing window completes. Signals occur only when conditions are met on closed bars.
security()/HTF: Daily previous-day levels are requested without lookahead to reduce repaint.
Resources: Uses persistent variables and line updates per bar; no heavy loops or arrays.
Known limits: Signals can arrive later when swing width is large. Gaps around session boundaries may distort OR levels. VWAP behavior may vary with partial sessions or illiquid assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Session nine to seventeen, opening range fifteen minutes, swing width two, CHOCH required, retest on, VWAP off, cooldown five bars.
Too many flips: Increase swing width, enable VWAP filter, or raise label cooldown.
Too sluggish: Reduce swing width or shorten the opening range window.
Too many session-level hits: Disable either previous-day levels or opening range levels to simplify context.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a session-aware visualization and signal layer focused on sweep-plus-structure behavior. It is not a complete trading system and does not manage orders, risk, or portfolio exposure. Use it with market structure, risk limits, and execution rules that fit your process.

Squeeze Hour Frequency [CHE]Squeeze Hour Frequency (ATR-PR) — Standalone — Tracks daily squeeze occurrences by hour to reveal time-based volatility patterns
Summary
This indicator identifies periods of unusually low volatility, defined as squeezes, and tallies their frequency across each hour of the day over historical trading sessions. By aggregating counts into a sortable table, it helps users spot hours prone to these conditions, enabling better scheduling of trading activity to avoid or target specific intraday regimes. Signals gain robustness through percentile-based detection that adapts to recent volatility history, differing from fixed-threshold methods by focusing on relative lowness rather than absolute levels, which reduces false positives in varying market environments.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face uneven intraday volatility, with certain hours showing clustered low-activity phases that precede or follow breakouts, leading to mistimed entries or overlooked calm periods. The core idea of hourly squeeze frequency addresses this by binning low-volatility events into 24 hourly slots and counting distinct daily occurrences, providing a historical profile of when squeezes cluster. This reveals time-of-day biases without relying on real-time alerts, allowing proactive adjustments to session focus.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Classical volatility tools like simple moving average crossovers or fixed ATR thresholds, which flag squeezes uniformly across the day.
- Architecture differences:
- Uses persistent arrays to track one squeeze per hour per day, preventing overcounting within sessions.
- Employs custom sorting on ratio arrays for dynamic table display, prioritizing top or bottom performers.
- Handles timezones explicitly to ensure consistent binning across global assets.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table ranking hours by squeeze share, making intraday patterns immediately visible—such as a top hour capturing over 20 percent of total events—unlike static overlays that ignore temporal distribution, which matters for avoiding low-liquidity traps in crypto or forex.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a rolling volatility measure over a specified lookback period. It then derives a relative ranking of the current value against recent history within a window of bars. A squeeze is flagged when this ranking falls below a user-defined cutoff, indicating the value is among the lowest in the recent sample.
On each bar, the local hour is extracted using the selected timezone. If a squeeze occurs and the bar has price data, the count for that hour increments only if no prior mark exists for the current day, using a persistent array to store the last marked day per hour. This ensures one tally per unique trading day per slot.
At the final bar, arrays compile counts and ratios for all 24 hours, where the ratio represents each hour's share of total squeezes observed. These are sorted ascending or descending based on display mode, and the top or bottom subset populates the table. Background shading highlights live squeezes in red for visual confirmation. Initialization uses zero-filled arrays for counts and negative seeds for day tracking, with state persisting across bars via variable declarations.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so there is no repaint risk from external fetches; all logic runs on confirmed bars.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Controls the lookback for the volatility measure, influencing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations; shorter values increase responsiveness but add noise, longer ones smooth for stability — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Use 10-20 for intraday charts to balance quick detection with fewer false squeezes; test on historical data to avoid over-smoothing in trending markets.
Percentile Window (bars) — Sets the history depth for ranking the current volatility value, affecting how "low" is defined relative to past; wider windows emphasize long-term norms — Default: 252 — Trade-offs/Tips: 100-300 bars suit daily cycles; narrower for fast assets like crypto to catch recent regimes, but risks instability in sparse data.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Defines the cutoff for flagging low relative volatility, where values below this mark a squeeze; lower thresholds tighten detection for rarer events — Default: 10.0 — Trade-offs/Tips: 5-15 percent for conservative signals reducing false positives; raise to 20 for more frequent highlights in high-vol environments, monitoring for increased noise.
Timezone — Specifies the reference for hourly binning, ensuring alignment with market sessions — Default: Exchange — Trade-offs/Tips: Set to "America/New_York" for US assets; mismatches can skew counts, so verify against chart timezone.
Show Table — Toggles the results display, essential for reviewing frequencies — Default: true — Trade-offs/Tips: Disable on mobile for performance; pair with position tweaks for clean overlays.
Pos — Places the table on the chart pane — Default: Top Right — Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom Left avoids candle occlusion on volatile charts.
Font — Adjusts text readability in the table — Default: normal — Trade-offs/Tips: Tiny for dense views, large for emphasis on key hours.
Dark — Applies high-contrast colors for visibility — Default: true — Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false in light themes to prevent washout.
Display — Filters table rows to focus on extremes or full list — Default: All — Trade-offs/Tips: Top 3 for quick scans of risky hours; Bottom 3 highlights safe low-squeeze periods.
Reading & Interpretation
Red background shading appears on bars meeting the squeeze condition, signaling current low relative volatility. The table lists hours as "H0" to "H23", with columns for daily squeeze counts, percentage share of total squeezes (summing to 100 percent across hours), and an arrow marker on the top hour. A summary row above details the peak count, its share, and the leading hour. A label at the last bar recaps total days observed, data-valid days, and top hour stats. Rising shares indicate clustering, suggesting regime persistence in that slot.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for hours with low squeeze shares to enter during stable regimes; confirm with higher highs or lower lows on the 15-minute chart, avoiding top-share hours post-news like tariff announcements.
- Exits/Stops: Tighten stops in high-share hours to guard against sudden vol spikes; use the table to shift to conservative sizing outside peak squeeze times.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across crypto pairs on 5-60 minute timeframes; for stocks, widen percentile window to 500 bars. Combine with volume oscillators—enter only if squeeze count is below average for the asset.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Logic executes on closed bars, with live bars updating counts provisionally but finalizing on confirmation; table refreshes only at the last bar, avoiding intrabar flicker. No security calls or higher timeframes, so no repaint from external data. Resources include a 5000-bar history limit, loops up to 24 iterations for sorting and totals, and arrays sized to 24 elements; labels and table are capped at 500 each for efficiency. Known limits: Skips hours without bars (e.g., weekends), assumes uniform data availability, and may undercount in sparse sessions; timezone shifts can alter profiles without warning.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with ATR Length at 14, Percentile Window at 252, and threshold at 10.0 for broad crypto use. If too many squeezes flag (noisy table), raise threshold to 15.0 and narrow window to 100 for stricter relative lowness. For sluggish detection in calm markets, drop ATR Length to 10 and threshold to 5.0 to capture subtler dips. In high-vol assets, widen window to 500 and threshold to 20.0 for stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a historical frequency tracker and visualization layer for intraday volatility patterns, best as a filter in multi-tool setups. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—pair it with price action, news filters, and position sizing rules.

MILLION MEN - Smart ZonesMILLION MEN — Smart Zones
What it is
A smart, structure-based Support/Resistance indicator that automatically anchors dynamic Smart Zones from the latest confirmed swing high and low. It identifies two adaptive regions — the Premium Zone near swing highs and the Discount Zone near swing lows — with an optional 50% equilibrium line for balanced price analysis.
How it works (high-level)
Confirmed swings: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with adaptive or manual lookback.
Smart pairing: When both recent pivots are confirmed, the script anchors a new pair and builds zones based on that range.
Dynamic zones:
Discount Zone: Bottom portion of the range (e.g., 25%).
Premium Zone: Top portion of the range.
Midline: Optional 50% equilibrium; can extend right.
Lifecycle control:
Zones auto-update as new highs/lows appear.
Option to re-anchor when a new swing pair forms.
Option to auto-expire after a set number of bars for clean charts.
Color scheme:
Green = Discount Zone
Fuchsia = Premium Zone
Gray = Midline
How to use
Works well on 5m–1H for intraday, or 4H–1D for swing.
Use the Discount Zone for long bias setups and the Premium Zone for short bias confirmations.
Combine with your preferred momentum, VWAP, or volume tools for confluence.
Adjust Zone Depth % and Auto-expire depending on your timeframe.
Originality & value
Unlike static S/R indicators, Smart Zones evolve with price structure — re-anchoring on new swing formations while maintaining clarity and balance. Its confirmed-pivot logic avoids repainting and produces professional, non-cluttered charts for precision trading.
Limitations & transparency
Pivots confirm with delay equal to pivot length; this prevents repaint.
Results differ by asset and volatility regime.
Non-standard chart types (Heikin-Ashi, Renko, Range) are not supported.
This script provides analytical guidance, not financial advice.
Dominant DATR [CHE] Dominant DATR — Directional ATR stream with dominant-side EMA, bands, labels, and alerts
Summary
Dominant DATR builds two directional volatility streams from the true range, assigns each bar’s range to the up or down side based on the sign of the close-to-close move, and then tracks the dominant side through an exponential average. A rolling band around the dominant stream defines recent extremes, while optional gradient coloring reflects relative magnitude. Swing-based labels mark new higher highs or lower lows on the dominant stream, and alerts can be enabled for swings, zero-line crossings, and band breakouts. The result is a compact pane that highlights regime bias and intensity without relying on price overlays.
Motivation: Why this design?
Conventional ATR treats all range as symmetric, which can mask directional pressure, cause late regime shifts, and produce frequent false flips during noisy phases. This design separates the range into up and down contributions, then emphasizes whichever side is stronger. A single smoothed dominant stream clarifies bias, while the band and swing markers help distinguish continuation from exhaustion. Optional normalization by close makes the metric comparable across instruments with different price scales.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Classic ATR or a basic EMA of price.
Architecture differences:
Directional weighting of range using positive and negative close-to-close moves.
Separate moving averages for up and down contributions combined into one dominant stream.
Rolling highest and lowest of the dominant stream to form a band.
Optional normalization by close, window-based scaling for color intensity, and gamma adjustment for visual contrast.
Event logic for swing highs and lows on the dominant stream, with label buffering and pruning.
Configurable alerts for swings, zero-line crossings, and band breakouts.
Practical effect: You see when volatility is concentrated on one side, how strong that bias currently is, and when the dominant stream pushes through or fails at its recent envelope.
How it works (technical)
Each bar’s move is split into an up component and a down component based on whether the close increased or decreased relative to the prior close. The bar’s true range is proportionally assigned to up or down using those components as weights.
Each side is smoothed with a Wilder-style moving average. The dominant stream is the side with the larger value, recorded as positive for up dominance and negative for down dominance.
The dominant stream is then smoothed with an exponential moving average to reduce noise and provide a responsive yet stable signal line.
A rolling window tracks the highest and lowest values of the dominant EMA to form an envelope. Crossings of these bounds indicate unusual strength or weakness relative to recent history.
For visualization, the absolute value of the dominant EMA is scaled over a lookback window and passed through a gamma curve to modulate gradient intensity. Colors are chosen separately for up and down regimes.
Swing events are detected by comparing the dominant EMA to its recent extremes over a short lookback. Labels are placed when a prior bar set an extreme and the current bar confirms it. A managed array prunes older labels when the user-defined maximum is exceeded.
Alerts mirror these events and also include zero-line crossings and band breakouts. The script does not force closed-bar confirmation; users should configure alert execution timing to suit their workflow.
There are no higher-timeframe requests and no security calls. State is limited to simple arrays for labels and persistent color parameters.
Parameter Guide
Parameter — Effect — Default — Trade-offs/Tips
ATR Length — Smoothing of directional true range streams — fourteen — Longer reduces noise and may delay regime shifts; shorter increases responsiveness.
EMA Length — Smoothing of the dominant stream — twenty-five — Lower values react faster; higher values reduce whipsaw.
Band Length — Window for recent highs and lows of the dominant stream — ten — Short windows flag frequent breakouts; long windows emphasize only exceptional moves.
Normalize by Close — Divide by close price to produce a percent-like scale — false — Useful across assets with very different price levels.
Enable gradient color — Turn on magnitude-based coloring — true — Visual aid only; can be disabled for simplicity.
Gradient window — Lookback used to scale color intensity — one hundred — Larger windows stabilize the color scale.
Gamma (lines) — Adjust gradient intensity curve — zero point eight — Lower values compress variation; higher values expand it.
Gradient transparency — Transparency for gradient plots — zero, between zero and ninety — Higher values mute colors.
Up dark / Up neon — Base and peak colors for up dominance — green tones — Styling only.
Down dark / Down neon — Base and peak colors for down dominance — red tones — Styling only.
Show zero line / Background tint — Visual references for regime — true and false — Background tint can help quick scanning.
Swing length — Bars used to detect swing highs or lows — two — Larger values demand more structure.
Show labels / Max labels / Label offset — Label visibility, cap, and vertical offset — true, two hundred, zero — Increase cap with care to avoid clutter.
Alerts: HH/LL, Zero Cross, Band Break — Toggle alert rules — true, false, false — Enable only what you need.
Reading & Interpretation
The dominant EMA above zero indicates up-side dominance; below zero indicates down-side dominance.
Band lines show recent extremes of the dominant EMA; pushes through the band suggest unusual momentum on the dominant side.
Gradient intensity reflects local magnitude of dominance relative to the chosen window.
HH/LL labels appear when the dominant stream prints a new local extreme in the current regime and that extreme is confirmed on the next bar.
Zero-line crosses suggest regime flips; combine with structure or filters to reduce noise.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Consider entries when the dominant EMA is on the regime side and expands away from zero. Band breakouts add confirmation; structure such as higher highs or lower lows in price can filter signals.
Exits and stops: Tighten exits when the dominant stream stalls near the band or fades toward zero. Opposite swing labels can serve as early caution.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Works across liquid assets and common timeframes. For lower noise instruments, reduce smoothing slightly; for high noise, increase lengths and swing length.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: No security calls and no future-looking references. Swing labels confirm one bar later by design. Real-time crosses can change intra-bar; use bar-close alerts if needed.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is two thousand. The script uses an array for labels with pruning, gradient color computations, and a simple while loop that runs only when the label cap is exceeded.
Known limits: The EMA can lag at sharp turns. Normalization by close changes scale and may affect thresholds. Extremely gappy data can produce abrupt shifts in the dominant side.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: ATR Length fourteen, EMA Length twenty-five, Band Length ten, Swing Length two, gradient enabled.
Too many flips: Increase EMA Length and swing length, or enable only swing alerts.
Too sluggish: Decrease EMA Length and Band Length.
Inconsistent scales across symbols: Enable Normalize by Close.
Visual clutter: Disable gradient or reduce label cap.

Hour/Day/Month Optimizer [CHE] Hour/Day/Month Optimizer — Bucketed seasonality ranking for hours, weekdays, and months with additive or compounded returns, win rate, simple Sharpe proxy, and trade counts
Summary
This indicator profiles time-of-day, day-of-week, and month-of-year behavior by assigning every bar to a bucket and accumulating its return into that bucket. It reports per-bucket score (additive or compounded), win rate, a dispersion-aware return proxy, and trade counts, then ranks buckets and highlights the current one if it is best or worst. A compact on-chart table shows the top buckets or the full ranking; a last-bar label summarizes best and worst. Optional hour filtering and UTC shifting let you align buckets with your trading session rather than exchange time.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often see repetitive timing effects but struggle to separate genuine seasonality from noise. Static averages are easily distorted by sample size, compounding, or volatility spikes. The core idea here is simple, explicit bucket aggregation with user-controlled accumulation (sum or compound) and transparent quality metrics (win rate, a dispersion-aware proxy, and counts). The result is a practical, legible seasonality surface that can be used for scheduling and filtering rather than prediction.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Simple heatmaps or average-return tables that ignore compounding, dispersion, or sample size.
Architecture differences:
Dual aggregation modes: additive sum of bar returns or compounded factor.
Per-bucket win rate and trade count to expose sample support.
A simple dispersion-aware return proxy to penalize unstable averages.
UTC offset and optional custom hour window.
Deterministic, closed-bar rendering via a lightweight on-chart table.
Practical effect: You see not only which buckets look strong but also whether the observation is supported by enough bars and whether stability is acceptable. The background tint and last-bar label give immediate context for the current bucket.
How it works (technical)
Each bar is assigned to a bucket based on the selected dimension (hour one to twenty-four, weekday one to seven, or month one to twelve) after applying the UTC shift. An optional hour filter can exclude bars outside a chosen window. For each bucket the script accumulates either the sum of simple returns or the compounded product of bar factors. It also counts bars and wins, where a win is any bar with a non-negative return. From these, it derives:
Score: additive total or compounded total minus the neutral baseline.
Win rate: wins as a percentage of bars in the bucket.
Dispersion-aware proxy (“Sharpe” column): a crude ratio that rises when average return improves and falls when variability increases.
Buckets are sorted by a user-selected key (score, win rate, dispersion proxy, or trade count). The current bar’s bucket is tinted if it matches the global best or worst. At the last bar, a table is drawn with headers, an optional info row, and either the top three or all rows, using zebra backgrounds and color-coding (lime for best, red for worst). Rendering is last-bar only; no higher-timeframe data is requested, and no future data is referenced.
Parameter Guide
UTC Offset (hours) — Shifts bucket assignment relative to exchange time. Default: zero. Tip: Align to your local or desk session.
Use Custom Hours — Enables a local session window. Default: off. Trade-off: Reduces noise outside your active hours but lowers sample size.
Start / End — Inclusive hour window one to twenty-four. Defaults: eight to seventeen. Tip: Widen if rankings look unstable.
Aggregation — “Additive” sums bar returns; “Multiplicative” compounds them. Default: Additive. Tip: Use compounded for long-horizon bias checks.
Dimension — Bucket by Hour, Day, or Month. Default: Hour. Tip: Start Hour for intraday planning; switch to Day or Month for scheduling.
Show — “Top Three” or “All”. Default: Top Three. Trade-off: Clarity vs. completeness.
Sort By — Score, Win Rate, Sharpe, or Trades. Default: Score. Tip: Use Trades to surface stable buckets; use Win Rate for skew awareness.
X / Y — Table anchor. Defaults: right / top. Tip: Move away from price clusters.
Text — Table text size. Default: normal.
Light Mode — Light palette for bright charts. Default: off.
Show Parameters Row — Info header with dimension and span. Default: on.
Highlight Current Bucket if Best/Worst — Background tint when current bucket matches extremes. Default: on.
Best/Worst Barcolor — Tint colors. Defaults: lime / red.
Mark Best/Worst on Last Bar — Summary label on the last bar. Default: on.
Reading & Interpretation
Score column: Higher suggests stronger cumulative behavior for the chosen aggregation. Compounded mode emphasizes persistence; additive mode treats all bars equally.
Win Rate: Stability signal; very high with very low trades is unreliable.
“Sharpe” column: A quick stability proxy; use it to down-rank buckets that look good on score but fluctuate heavily.
Trades: Sample size. Prefer buckets with adequate counts for your timeframe and asset.
Tinting: If the current bucket is globally best, expect a lime background; if worst, red. This is context, not a trade signal.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use Hour or Day to avoid initiating trades during historically weak buckets; require structure confirmation such as higher highs and higher lows, plus a momentum or volatility filter.
Mean reversion: Prefer buckets with moderate scores but acceptable win rate and dispersion proxy; combine with deviation bands or volume normalization.
Exits/Stops: Tighten exits during historically weak buckets; relax slightly during strong ones, but keep absolute risk controls independent of the table.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Start with Hour on liquid intraday assets; for swing, use Day. On monthly seasonality, require larger lookbacks to avoid overfitting.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Calculations use completed bars only; table and label are drawn on the last bar and can update intrabar until close.
security()/HTF: None used; repaint risk limited to normal live-bar updates.
Resources: Arrays per dimension, light loops for metric building and sorting, `max_bars_back` two thousand, and capped label/table counts.
Known limits: Sensitive to sample size and regime shifts; ignores costs and slippage; bar-based wins can mislead on assets with frequent gaps; compounded mode can over-weight streaks.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start: Hour dimension, Additive, Top Three, Sort by Score, default session window off.
Too many flips: Switch to Sort by Trades or raise sample by widening hours or timeframe.
Too sluggish/over-smoothed: Switch to Additive (if on compounded) or shorten your chart timeframe while keeping the same dimension.
Overfit risk: Prefer “All” view to verify that top buckets are not isolated with tiny counts; use Day or Month only with long histories.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a seasonality and scheduling layer that ranks time buckets using transparent arithmetic and simple stability checks. It is not a predictive model, not a complete trading system, and it does not manage risk. Use it to plan when to engage, then rely on structure, confirmation, and independent risk management for entries and exits.

SuperTrend Optimizer Remastered[CHE] SuperTrend Optimizer Remastered — Grid-ranked SuperTrend with additive or multiplicative scoring
Summary
This indicator evaluates a fixed grid of one hundred and two SuperTrend parameter pairs and ranks them by a simple flip-to-flip return model. It auto-selects the currently best-scoring combination and renders its SuperTrend in real time, with optional gradient coloring for faster visual parsing. The original concept is by KioseffTrading Thanks a lot for it.
For years I wanted to shorten the roughly two thousand three hundred seventy-one lines; I have now reduced the core to about three hundred eighty lines without triggering script errors. The simplification is generalizable to other indicators. A multiplicative return mode was added alongside the existing additive aggregation, enabling different rankings and often more realistic compounding behavior.
Motivation: Why this design?
SuperTrend is sensitive to its factor and period. Picking a single pair statically can underperform across regimes. This design sweeps a compact parameter grid around user-defined lower bounds, measures flip-to-flip outcomes, and promotes the combination with the strongest cumulative return. The approach keeps the visual footprint familiar while removing manual trial-and-error. The multiplicative mode captures compounding effects; the additive mode remains available for linear aggregation.
Originally (by KioseffTrading)
Very long script (~2,371 lines), monolithic structure.
SuperTrend optimization with additive (cumulative percentage-sum) scoring only.
Heavier use of repetitive code; limited modularity and fewer UI conveniences.
No explicit multiplicative compounding option; rankings did not reflect sequence-sensitive equity growth.
Now (remastered by CHE)
Compact core (~380 lines) with the same functional intent, no compile errors.
Adds multiplicative (compounding) scoring alongside additive, changing rankings to reflect real equity paths and penalize drawdown sequences.
Fixed 34×3 grid sweep, live ranking, gradient-based bar/wick/line visuals, top-table display, and an optional override plot.
Cleaner arrays/state handling, last-bar table updates, and reusable simplification pattern that can be applied to other indicators.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: A single SuperTrend with hand-picked inputs.
Architecture differences:
Fixed grid of thirty-four factor offsets across three ATR offsets.
Per-combination flip-to-flip backtest with additive or multiplicative aggregation.
Live ranking with optional “Best” or “Worst” table output.
Gradient bar, wick, and line coloring driven by consecutive trend counts.
Optional override plot to force a specific SuperTrend independent of ranking.
Practical effect: Charts show the currently best-scoring SuperTrend, not a static choice, plus an on-chart table of top performers for transparency.
How it works (technical)
For each parameter pair, the script computes SuperTrend value and direction. It monitors direction transitions and treats a change from up to down as a long entry and the reverse as an exit, measuring the move between entry and exit using close prices. Results are aggregated per pair either by summing percentage changes or by compounding return factors and then converting to percent for comparison. On the last bar, open trades are included as unrealized contributions to ranking. The best combination’s line is plotted, with separate styling for up and down regimes. Consecutive regime counts are normalized within a rolling window and mapped to gradients for bars, wicks, and lines. A two-column table reports the best or worst performers, with an optional row describing the parameter sweep.
Parameter Guide
Factor (Lower Bound) — Starting SuperTrend factor; the grid adds offsets between zero and three point three. Default three point zero. Higher raises distance to price and reduces flips.
ATR Period (Lower Bound) — Starting ATR length; the grid adds zero, one, and two. Default ten. Longer reduces noise at the cost of responsiveness.
Best vs Worst — Ranks by top or bottom cumulative return. Default Best. Use Worst for stress tests.
Calculation Mode — Additive sums percents; Multiplicative compounds returns. Multiplicative is closer to equity growth and can change the leaderboard.
Show in Table — “Top Three” or “All”. Fewer rows keep charts clean.
Show “Parameters Tested” Label — Displays the effective sweep ranges for auditability.
Plot Override SuperTrend — If enabled, the override factor and ATR are plotted instead of the ranked winner.
Override Factor / ATR Period — Values used when override is on.
Light Mode (for Table) — Adjusts table colors for bright charts.
Gradient/Coloring controls — Toggles for gradient bars and wick coloring, window length for normalization, gamma for contrast, and transparency settings. Use these to emphasize or tone down visual intensity.
Table Position and Text Size — Places the table and sets typography.
Reading & Interpretation
The auto SuperTrend plots one line for up regimes and one for down regimes. Color intensity reflects consecutive trend persistence within the chosen window. A small square at the bottom encodes the same gradient as a compact status channel. Optional wick coloring uses the same gradient for maximum contrast. The performance table lists parameter pairs and their cumulative return under the chosen aggregation; positive values are tinted with the up color, negative with the down color. “Long” labels mark flips that open a long in the simplified model.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use the auto line as your primary bias. Enter on flips aligned with structure such as higher highs and higher lows. Filter with higher-timeframe trend or volatility contraction.
Exits/Stops: Consider conservative exits when color intensity fades or when the opposite line is approached. Aggressive traders can trail near the plotted line.
Override mode: When you want stability across instruments, enable override and standardize factor and ATR; keep the table visible for sanity checks.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults travel well on liquid instruments and intraday to daily timeframes. Heavier assets may prefer larger lower bounds or multiplicative mode.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Signals are based on SuperTrend direction; confirmation is best assessed on closed bars to avoid mid-bar oscillation. No higher-timeframe requests are used.
Resources: One hundred and two SuperTrend evaluations per bar, arrays for state, and a last-bar table render. This is efficient for the grid size but avoid stacking many instances.
Known limits: The flip model ignores costs, slippage, and short exposure. Rapid whipsaws can degrade both aggregation modes. Gradients are cosmetic and do not change logic.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the provided lower bounds and “Top Three” table.
Too many flips → raise the lower bound factor or period.
Too sluggish → lower the bounds or switch to additive mode.
Rankings feel unstable → prefer multiplicative mode and extend the normalization window.
Visuals too strong → increase gradient transparency or disable wick coloring.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a parameter-sweep and visualization layer for SuperTrend selection. It is not a complete trading system, not predictive, and does not include position sizing, transaction costs, or risk management. Combine with market structure, higher-timeframe context, and explicit risk controls.
Attribution and refactor note: The original work is by KioseffTrading. The script has been refactored from approximately two thousand three hundred seventy-one lines to about three hundred eighty core lines, retaining behavior without compiler errors. The general simplification pattern is reusable for other indicators.

FibPulse144 [CHE] FibPulse144 — ADX-gated 13/21 crossover with 144-trend regime and closed-bar labels
Summary
FibPulse144 combines a fast moving-average crossover with a 144-period trend regime and an ADX strength gate. Signals are confirmed on closed bars only and drawn as labels on the price chart, while an ADX line in a separate pane provides context. Color gradients are derived from normalized ADX, so visual intensity reflects trend strength without changing the underlying logic. The approach reduces false flips during weak conditions and keeps entries aligned with the dominant trend.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traditional crossover signals can flip repeatedly during sideways phases and often trigger against the higher-time regime. By requiring alignment with a slower trend proxy and by gating entries through a rising ADX condition, FibPulse144 favors structurally cleaner transitions. Gradient coloring communicates strength visually, helping users temper aggressiveness without additional indicators.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Classic dual-MA crossover with unconditional signals.
Architecture differences:
Two-bar regime confirmation against a 144-period trend average.
Pending-signal logic that waits for regime and optional ADX approval.
ADX strength gate using the prior reading relative to a user threshold and earlier value.
Gradient colors scaled by an ADX window with gamma controls.
Price-chart labels enforced via overlay on an otherwise pane-based indicator.
Practical effect: Fewer signals during weak or choppy conditions, labels that appear only after a bar closes, and color intensity that mirrors trend quality.
How it works (technical)
The script computes fast and slow moving averages using the selected method and lengths. A separate 144-length average defines the regime using a two-bar confirmation above or below it. Crossovers are observed on the previous bar to avoid intrabar ambiguity; once a prior crossover is detected, it is stored as pending. A pending long requires regime alignment and, if enabled, an ADX condition based on the previous reading being above the threshold and greater than an earlier reading. The state machine holds neutral, long, or short until an exit condition or ADX reset is met. ADX is normalized within a user window, scaled with gamma, and mapped to up and down color palettes to render gradients. Labels on the price panel are forced to overlay, while the ADX line and threshold guide remain in a separate pane.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input data for all calculations. Default: close. Tip: keep consistent with your chart.
MA Type — EMA or SMA. Default: EMA. EMA reacts faster; SMA is smoother.
Fast / Slow — Fast and slow lengths for crossover. Defaults: 13 and 21. Shorter reacts earlier; longer reduces noise.
Trend — Regime average length. Default: 144. Larger values stabilize regime; smaller values increase sensitivity.
Use 144 as trend filter — Enables regime gating. Default: true. Disable to allow raw crossovers.
Use ADX filter — Requires ADX strength. Default: true. Disable to allow signals regardless of strength.
ADX Len — DI and ADX smoothing length. Default: 14. Higher values smooth strength; lower values react faster.
ADX Thresh — Minimum strength for signals. Default: 25. Raise to reduce flips; lower to capture earlier moves.
Entry/Exit labels (price) — Price-panel labels on state changes. Default: true.
Signal labels in ADX pane — Small markers at the ADX value on entries. Default: true.
Label size — tiny, small, normal, large. Default: normal.
Enable barcolor — Optional candle tint by regime and gradient. Default: false.
Enable gradient — Turns on ADX-driven color blending. Default: true.
Window — Bars used to normalize ADX for colors. Default: 100; minimum: 5.
Gamma bars / Gamma plots — Nonlinear scaling for bar and line intensities. Default: 0.80; between 0.30 and 2.00.
Gradient transp (0–90) — Transparency for gradient colors. Default: 0.
MA fill transparency (0–100) — Fill opacity between fast and slow lines. Default: 65.
Palette colors (Up/Down) — Dark and neon endpoints for up and down gradients. Defaults as in the code.
Reading & Interpretation
Fast/Slow lines: When the fast line is above the slow line, the line and fill use the long palette; when below, the short palette is used.
Trend MA (144): Neutral gray line indicating the regime boundary.
Labels on price: “LONG” appears when the state turns long; “SHORT” when it turns short. Labels appear only after the bar closes and conditions are satisfied.
ADX pane: The ADX line shows current strength. The dotted threshold line is the user level for gating. Optional small markers indicate entries at the ADX value.
Bar colors (optional): Candle tint intensity reflects normalized ADX. Higher intensity implies stronger conditions.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Use long entries when fast crosses above slow and price has held above the trend average for two bars, with ADX above threshold. Mirror this for shorts below the trend average.
Exits and stops: Consider reducing exposure when price closes on the opposite side of the trend average for two consecutive bars or when ADX fades below the threshold if the ADX filter is enabled.
Structure confirmation: Combine with higher-timeframe structure such as swing highs and lows or a simple market structure overlay for confirmation.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Works across liquid assets. For lower timeframes, consider a slightly lower ADX threshold; for higher timeframes, maintain or raise the threshold to avoid unnecessary flips.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Signals are based on previous-bar crossovers and are confirmed on bar close. No higher-timeframe or security calls are used. Intrabar markers are not relied upon.
Resources: The script declares `max_bars_back` of 2000, uses no loops or arrays, and employs persistent variables for pending signals and state.
Known limits: Crossover systems can lag after sudden reversals. During tight ranges, disabling the ADX filter may increase flips; keeping it enabled may skip early transitions.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: EMA, 13/21/144, ADX length 14, ADX threshold 25, gradients on, barcolor off.
Too many flips: Increase ADX threshold or length; increase trend length; consider SMA instead of EMA.
Too sluggish: Lower ADX threshold slightly; shorten fast and slow lengths; reduce the trend length.
Colors overpowering: Increase gradient transparency or reduce gamma values toward one.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and signal layer that combines crossover, regime, and strength gating. It does not predict future movements, manage risk, or execute trades. Use it alongside clear structure, risk controls, and a defined position management plan.

Quarter Strength Table (3M) [CHE] Quarter Strength Table (3M) — quarterly seasonality overview for the current symbol
Is there seasonality in certain assets? Some YouTubers claim there is—can you test it yourself?
Summary
This indicator builds a compact table that summarizes quarterly seasonality from three-month bars. It aggregates the simple return of each historical quarter, counts observations, computes the average return and the win rate for each quarter, and flags the historically strongest quarter. The output is a five-column table rendered on the chart, designed for quick comparison rather than signal generation. Because it processes only confirmed higher-timeframe bars, results are stable once a quarter has closed.
Motivation: Why this design?
Seasonality tools often mix intraperiod estimates with live bars, which can lead to misleading flips and inconsistent statistics. The core idea here is to restrict aggregation to completed three-month bars only and to deduplicate events by timestamp. This avoids partial information and double counting, so the table reflects a consistent, closed-bar history.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical seasonality studies that compute monthly or quarterly stats directly on the chart timeframe or update on live higher-timeframe bars.
Architecture differences:
Uses explicit higher-timeframe requests for open, close, time, and calendar month from three-month bars.
Confirms the higher-timeframe bar before recording a sample; deduplicates by the higher-timeframe timestamp.
Keeps fixed arrays of length four for the four quarters; renders a fixed five-by-five table with zebra rows.
Practical effect: Once a quarter closes, counts and averages are stable. The “Best” column marks the highest average quarter so you can quickly identify the historically strongest period.
How it works (technical)
On every chart bar, the script requests three-month open, close, time, and the calendar month derived from that bar’s time. When the three-month bar is confirmed, it computes the simple return for that bar and maps the month to a quarter index between zero and three. A guard stores the last seen three-month timestamp to avoid duplicate writes. Per quarter, it accumulates the sum of returns, the number of samples, and the number of positive samples. From these, it derives average return and win rate. The table header is created once on the first bar; content updates only on the last visible chart bar for efficiency. No forward references are used, and lookahead is disabled in all higher-timeframe requests to avoid peeking.
Parameter Guide
Percent — Formats values as percentages. Default: true. Trade-off: Easier visual comparison; disable if you prefer raw unit returns.
Decimals — Number of digits shown. Default: two. Bounds: zero to six. Trade-off: More digits improve precision but reduce readability.
Show table — Toggles table rendering. Default: true. Trade-off: Disable when space is limited or for batch testing.
Reading & Interpretation
The table shows rows for Q1 through Q4 and columns for Count, Avg Ret, P(win), and Best.
Count: Number of completed three-month bars observed for that quarter.
Avg Ret: Average simple return across all samples in that quarter.
P(win): Share of samples with a positive return.
Best: An asterisk marks the quarter with the highest average return among those with at least one sample.
Use the combination of average and win rate to judge both magnitude and consistency. Low counts signal limited evidence.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following filter: Favor setups when the upcoming or active quarter historically shows a positive average and a stable win rate. Combine with structure analysis such as higher highs and higher lows to avoid fighting dominant trends.
Exits and risk: When entering during a historically weak quarter, consider tighter risk controls and quicker profit taking.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: The default settings work across most liquid symbols. For assets with sparse history, treat results as low confidence due to small sample sizes.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Aggregation occurs only when the three-month bar is confirmed; values do not change afterward for that bar. During an open quarter, no new sample is added.
Higher-timeframe usage: All higher-timeframe requests disable lookahead and rely on confirmation to mitigate repaint.
Resources: Declared `max_bars_back` is two thousand. Arrays are fixed at length four. The script updates the table only on the last visible bar to reduce work.
Known limits: Averages can be affected by outliers and structural market changes. Limited history reduces reliability. Corporate actions and contract rolls may influence returns depending on the symbol’s data source. This is a visualization and not a trading system.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting values: Percent true; Decimals two; Show table true.
If numbers feel noisy: Decrease decimals to one to reduce visual clutter.
If you need raw values: Turn off Percent to display unit returns.
If the table overlaps price: Toggle Show table off when annotating, or reposition via your chart’s table controls.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a historical summary of quarterly behavior. It visualizes evidence and helps frame expectations. It is not predictive, does not generate trade signals, and does not manage positions or risk. Always combine with market structure, liquidity considerations, and independent risk controls.
Inputs with defaults
Percent: true, boolean.
Decimals: two, integer between zero and six.
Show table: true, boolean.
Pine version: v6
Overlay: true
Primary outputs: Table with five columns and five rows.
Metrics/functions used: Higher-timeframe data requests, table rendering, arrays, bar state checks, month mapping.
Special techniques: Closed-bar aggregation, deduplication by higher-timeframe timestamp, zebra row styling.
Performance/constraints: Two thousand bars back, small fixed loops, higher-timeframe requests without lookahead.
Compatibility/assets/timeframes: Works on time-based charts across most assets with sufficient history.
Limitations/risks: Sample size sensitivity, regime shifts, data differences across venues.
Debug/diagnostics: (Unknown/Optional)

BayesStack RSI [CHE]BayesStack RSI — Stacked RSI with Bayesian outcome stats and gradient visualization
Summary
BayesStack RSI builds a four-length RSI stack and evaluates it with a simple Bayesian success model over a rolling window. It highlights bull and bear stack regimes, colors price with magnitude-based gradients, and reports per-regime counts, wins, and estimated win rate in a compact table. Signals seek to be more robust through explicit ordering tolerance, optional midline gating, and outcome evaluation that waits for events to mature by a fixed horizon. The design focuses on readable structure, conservative confirmation, and actionable context rather than raw oscillator flips.
Motivation: Why this design?
Classical RSI signals flip frequently in volatile phases and drift in calm regimes. Pure threshold rules often misclassify shallow pullbacks and stacked momentum phases. The core idea here is ordered, spaced RSI layers combined with outcome tracking. By requiring a consistent order with a tolerance and optionally gating by the midline, regime identification becomes clearer. A horizon-based maturation check and smoothed win-rate estimate provide pragmatic feedback about how often a given stack has recently worked.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional single-length RSI with overbought and oversold rules or simple crossovers.
Architecture differences:
Four fixed RSI lengths with strict ordering and a spacing tolerance.
Optional requirement that all RSI values stay above or below the midline for bull or bear regimes.
Outcome evaluation after a fixed horizon, then rolling counts and a prior-smoothed win rate.
Dispersion measurement across the four RSIs with a percent-rank diagnostic.
Gradient coloring of candles and wicks driven by stack magnitude.
A last-bar statistics table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, and priors.
Practical effect: Charts emphasize sustained momentum alignment instead of single-length crosses. Users see when regimes start, how strong alignment is, and how that regime has recently performed for the chosen horizon.
How it works (technical)
The script computes RSI on four lengths and forms a “stack” when they are strictly ordered with at least the chosen tolerance between adjacent lengths. A bull stack requires a descending set from long to short with positive spacing. A bear stack requires the opposite. Optional gating further requires all RSI values to sit above or below the midline.
For evaluation, each detected stack is checked again after the horizon has fully elapsed. A bull event is a success if price is higher than it was at event time after the horizon has passed. A bear event succeeds if price is lower under the same rule. Rolling sums over the training window track counts and successes; a pair of priors stabilizes the win-rate estimate when sample sizes are small.
Dispersion across the four RSIs is measured and converted to a percent rank over a configurable window. Gradients for bars and wicks are normalized over a lookback, then shaped by gamma controls to emphasize strong regimes. A statistics table is created once and updated on the last bar to minimize overhead. Overlay markers and wick coloring are rendered to the price chart even though the indicator runs in a separate pane.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for RSI. Default: close. Tips: Use typical price or hlc3 for smoother behavior.
Overbought / Oversold — Guide levels for context. Defaults: seventy and thirty. Bounds: fifty to one hundred, zero to fifty. Tips: Narrow the band for faster feedback.
Stacking tolerance (epsilon) — Minimum spacing between adjacent RSIs to qualify as a stack. Default: zero point twenty-five RSI points. Trade-off: Higher values reduce false stacks but delay entries.
Horizon H — Bars ahead for outcome evaluation. Default: three. Trade-off: Longer horizons reduce noise but delay success attribution.
Rolling window — Lookback for counts and wins. Default: five hundred. Trade-off: Longer windows stabilize the win rate but adapt more slowly.
Alpha prior / Beta prior — Priors used to stabilize the win-rate estimate. Defaults: one and one. Trade-off: Larger priors reduce variance with sparse samples.
Show RSI 8/13/21/34 — Toggle raw RSI lines. Default: on.
Show consensus RSI — Weighted combination of the four RSIs. Default: on.
Show OB/OS zones — Draw overbought, oversold, and midline. Default: on.
Background regime — Pane background tint during bull or bear stacks. Default: on.
Overlay regime markers — Entry markers on price when a stack forms. Default: on.
Show statistics table — Last-bar table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, priors, and window. Default: on.
Bull requires all above fifty / Bear requires all below fifty — Midline gate. Defaults: both on. Trade-off: Stricter regimes, fewer but cleaner signals.
Enable gradient barcolor / wick coloring — Gradient visuals mapped to stack magnitude. Defaults: on. Trade-off: Clearer regime strength vs. extra rendering cost.
Collection period — Normalization window for gradients. Default: one hundred. Trade-off: Shorter values react faster but fluctuate more.
Gamma bars and shapes / Gamma plots — Curve shaping for gradients. Defaults: zero point seven and zero point eight. Trade-off: Higher values compress weak signals and emphasize strong ones.
Gradient and wick transparency — Visual opacity controls. Defaults: zero.
Up/Down colors (dark and neon) — Gradient endpoints. Defaults: green and red pairs.
Fallback neutral candles — Directional coloring when gradients are off. Default: off.
Show last candles — Limit for gradient squares rendering. Default: three hundred thirty-three.
Dispersion percent-rank length / High and Low thresholds — Window and cutoffs for dispersion diagnostics. Defaults: two hundred fifty, eighty, and twenty.
Table X/Y, Dark theme, Text size — Table anchor, theme, and typography. Defaults: right, top, dark, small.
Reading & Interpretation
RSI stack lines: Alignment and spacing convey regime quality. Wider spacing suggests stronger alignment.
Consensus RSI: A single line that summarizes the four lengths; use as a smoother reference.
Zones: Overbought, oversold, and midline provide context rather than standalone triggers.
Background tint: Indicates active bull or bear stack.
Markers: “Bull Stack Enter” or “Bear Stack Enter” appears when the stack first forms.
Gradients: Brighter tones suggest stronger stack magnitude; dull tones suggest weak alignment.
Table: Count and Wins show sample size and successes over the window. P(win) is a prior-stabilized estimate. Dispersion percent rank near the high threshold flags stretched alignment; near the low threshold flags tight clustering.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter only on new stack markers aligned with structure such as higher highs and higher lows for bull, or lower lows and lower highs for bear. Use the consensus RSI to avoid chasing into overbought or oversold extremes.
Exits and stops: Consider reducing exposure when dispersion percent rank reaches the high threshold or when the stack loses ordering. Use the table’s P(win) as a context check rather than a direct signal.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults travel well on liquid assets from intraday to daily. Combine with higher-timeframe structure or moving averages for regime confirmation. The script itself does not fetch higher-timeframe data.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Stack markers evaluate on the live bar and can flip until close. Alert behavior follows TradingView settings. Outcome evaluation uses matured events and does not look into the future.
HTF and security: Not used. Repaint paths from higher-timeframe aggregation are avoided by design.
Resources: max bars back is two thousand. The script uses rolling sums, percent rank, gradient rendering, and a last-bar table update. Shapes and colored wicks add draw overhead.
Known limits: Lag can appear after sharp turns. Very small windows can overfit recent noise. P(win) is sensitive to sample size and priors. Dispersion normalization depends on the collection period.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the shipped defaults.
Too many flips: Increase stacking tolerance, enable midline gates, or lengthen the collection period.
Too sluggish: Reduce stacking tolerance, shorten the collection period, or relax midline gates.
Sparse samples: Extend the rolling window or increase priors to stabilize P(win).
Visual overload: Disable gradient squares or wick coloring, or raise transparency.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and context layer for RSI stack regimes with simple outcome statistics. It is not a complete trading system, not predictive, and not a signal generator on its own. Use it with market structure, risk controls, and position management that fit your process.
