Malama's big MACDPurpose: Malama's Big MACD is a multi-faceted Pine Script indicator designed for traders on short timeframes (1-5 minute charts) to identify high-probability trading opportunities. It combines a Stochastic Price Predictor (SPP) with a comprehensive set of technical indicators, including MACD, RSI, moving average crossovers, ATR, volume spikes, and a custom JKH RSI, to generate robust buy and sell signals. The indicator aims to solve the problem of filtering out market noise in fast-moving markets by integrating probability-based predictions with traditional technical analysis, providing traders with clear entry/exit signals, trend visualization, and risk management levels.
Originality and Usefulness
This script is a unique mashup of a Stochastic Price Predictor (SPP) and a comprehensive indicator suite, tailored for short-term trading. The SPP uses a Monte Carlo simulation combined with ATR and Stochastic RSI to forecast price movements, while the comprehensive indicator suite leverages MACD crossovers, RSI overbought/oversold conditions, moving average crossovers, volume spikes, and a custom JKH RSI for confirmation. Unlike standalone MACD or RSI indicators available in TradingView’s public library, this script’s originality lies in its hybrid approach, blending probabilistic forecasting with multiple confirmatory signals to enhance reliability. The integration of user-defined sentiment input and customizable risk management levels further differentiates it from generic open-source alternatives, making it particularly useful for scalpers and day traders seeking precise, actionable signals.
How It Works
The script operates in two primary modules: the Stochastic Price Predictor (SPP) and the Comprehensive Indicator Suite, which work together to generate and confirm trading signals. Signal strength is calculated to quantify the confidence of bullish or bearish conditions.
Stochastic Price Predictor (SPP):
Core Logic: The SPP forecasts price movements using a Monte Carlo simulation based on historical returns, ATR-based volatility, and Stochastic RSI filtering. It calculates the probability of price reaching a user-defined target move (default: 0.3%) within a specified forecast horizon (default: 3 bars).
Components:
ATR and Volatility: ATR (Average True Range) is calculated over a user-defined lookback period (default: 5) and scaled by a volatility factor (default: 1.5) to estimate price volatility. A volatility ratio (current volatility vs. average) filters out signals during extreme volatility (>2x average).
Stochastic RSI: A 7-period RSI is smoothed into a Stochastic RSI (5-period stochastic, 2-period SMA) to identify overbought (>85) or oversold (<15) conditions, preventing signals in extreme market states.
Monte Carlo Simulation: 30 price paths are simulated using a geometric Brownian motion model, incorporating drift (based on weighted moving average of returns) and volatility shocks. The simulation estimates the probability of price reaching the target move up or down.
Signal Generation: A buy signal is triggered if the probability of an upward move exceeds the confidence threshold (default: 65%) and the market is not overbought, with volatility within limits. A sell signal is triggered similarly for downward moves.
Purpose: The SPP provides a probabilistic framework to anticipate short-term price movements, reducing reliance on lagging indicators.
Comprehensive Indicator Suite:
Core Logic: This module combines multiple technical indicators to confirm SPP signals and generate independent signals based on momentum, trend, and volume.
Components:
MACD: Uses fast (5-period) and slow (13-period) EMAs to calculate the MACD line, smoothed by a 5-period signal line. A crossover above a threshold (default: 0.0001) indicates bullish momentum, while a crossunder signals bearish momentum.
RSI: A 14-period RSI identifies overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions to filter signals.
Moving Average Crossovers: Fast (5-period) and slow (20-period) EMAs determine trend direction. A bullish crossover (fast > slow) supports buy signals, while a bearish crossover (fast < slow) supports sell signals.
Volume Spikes: Volume exceeding 2x the 50-period average signals significant market activity, enhancing signal reliability.
JKH RSI: A fast 3-period RSI with custom overbought (>80) and oversold (<20) levels provides additional confirmation, reducing false signals in choppy markets.
Sentiment Input: A user-defined sentiment score (-1 to 1) adjusts signal strength, allowing traders to incorporate external market bias (e.g., news or fundamentals).
Signal Generation: A buy signal requires a bullish MACD crossover, RSI oversold, bullish MA crossover, non-overbought JKH RSI, and neutral/positive sentiment. A sell signal requires the opposite conditions.
Signal Strength Calculation:
Logic: Combines SPP probability, RSI deviation, and MACD strength, weighted at 50%, 30%, and 20%, respectively. Sentiment input scales the final strength (0–100).
Formula:
Bullish strength = min(100, (50 * |prob_up - prob_down| / 100 + 30 * |RSI - 50| / 50 + 20 * |MACD_line| / (0.1 * ATR)) * (1 + max(0, sentiment)))
Bearish strength is calculated similarly, using the absolute negative sentiment.
Purpose: Quantifies signal confidence, helping traders prioritize high-probability setups.
Strategy Results and Risk Management
While the script is primarily an indicator, it provides implied trading signals that assume realistic trading conditions:
Assumptions: Signals are designed for short-term trading (1-5 minute charts) with a minimum of 100 trades for statistical significance. The script assumes typical commission (e.g., 0.1% per trade) and slippage (e.g., 0.05%) for liquid markets. Risk per trade is implicitly capped via ATR-based stop-loss levels (2x ATR below/above entry for buy/sell).
Default Settings:
Lookback (5), volatility factor (1.5), and forecast horizon (3) are optimized for short timeframes.
ATR-based stop-loss and profit target levels (2x ATR) provide a risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:1.
Confidence threshold (65%) balances signal frequency and reliability.
Customization: Traders can adjust the ATR multiplier for stop-loss/profit targets or modify the confidence threshold to increase/decrease signal frequency. Lowering the target move (e.g., to 0.2%) or shortening the forecast horizon (e.g., to 2 bars) can tighten risk parameters for scalping.
Guidance: Traders should backtest signals on their specific asset and timeframe, ensuring sufficient trade volume (>100 trades) and incorporating their broker’s commission/slippage. Risk should be limited to 5–10% of equity per trade, adjustable via ATR multiplier or position sizing outside the script.
User Settings and Customization
The script offers extensive user inputs, organized into three groups:
Stochastic Price Predictor Settings:
Lookback Period (default: 5): Controls the period for ATR and returns calculation. Shorter periods increase sensitivity.
Volatility Factor (default: 1.5): Scales ATR for volatility shocks in the Monte Carlo simulation.
Confidence Threshold (default: 65%): Sets the minimum probability for SPP signals.
Stoch RSI Overbought/Oversold Levels (default: 85/15): Filters signals in extreme conditions.
Forecast Horizon (default: 3): Number of bars for price prediction.
Target Move (default: 0.3%): Expected price movement for probability calculation.
Show Predicted Range (default: false): Toggles visibility of the 25th–75th percentile price range.
Comprehensive Indicator Settings:
RSI Length (default: 14), Overbought (70), Oversold (30): Standard RSI parameters.
ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation.
Volume Spike Multiplier (default: 2.0): Threshold for detecting volume spikes.
Sentiment Input (default: 0.0, range: -1 to 1): Scales signal strength based on external bias.
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal Lengths (default: 5/13/5), Crossover Threshold (0.0001): Controls MACD sensitivity.
MA Fast/Slow Lengths (default: 5/20): Defines trend direction.
JKH RSI Length (default: 3), Overbought (80), Oversold (20): Fast RSI for confirmation.
Visual Settings:
Show SPP Signals (default: true): Displays SPP buy/sell labels.
Show Comp Signals (default: true): Displays comprehensive indicator signals.
Highlight Volume Spikes (default: true): Highlights bars with significant volume.
Show ATR Levels (default: true): Plots stop-loss and profit-target lines.
Impact: Adjusting lookback periods or thresholds affects signal frequency and sensitivity. For example, lowering the confidence threshold increases signals but may reduce accuracy, while increasing the volatility factor amplifies price path variability.

6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity
What is Parabolic-Weighted Velocity?
Parabolic-Weighted Velocity (PWV) is a mathematical model used in sports science to estimate the velocity of an athlete during a given movement or exercise. This model uses a parabolic weighting function to give more importance to the velocities achieved in the middle of the movement and less importance to the velocities achieved at the beginning and end of the movement.
PWV takes into account the acceleration and deceleration of an athlete during the movement, and uses this information to calculate an average velocity. The model assumes that the athlete moves at a constant velocity during the middle portion of the movement and that the velocity increases and decreases smoothly at the beginning and end of the movement.
The parabolic weighting function used in PWV is based on the principle of impulse momentum, which states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it. The impulse is calculated as the force applied to an object multiplied by the time during which the force is applied. By giving more weight to the velocities achieved during the middle of the movement, PWV takes into account the impulse generated during this period of the movement.
PWV is commonly used in sports science to measure the performance of athletes during activities such as sprinting, jumping, and throwing. It is often used in conjunction with other metrics such as power and force to provide a comprehensive picture of an athlete's performance. Additionally, PWV can be used to compare the performance of different athletes or to track an athlete's progress over time.
Overall, Parabolic-Weighted Velocity is a useful tool in sports science for estimating an athlete's velocity during a movement or exercise, taking into account the acceleration and deceleration of the athlete during the movement.
What is QQE?
Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE) is a technical analysis indicator used to identify trends and trading opportunities in financial markets. It is based on a combination of two popular technical analysis indicators - the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Averages (MA).
The QQE indicator uses a smoothed RSI to determine the trend direction, and a moving average of the smoothed RSI to identify potential trend changes. The indicator then plots a series of bands above and below the moving average to indicate overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
The QQE indicator is designed to provide traders with a reliable signal that confirms the strength of a trend or indicates a possible trend reversal. It is particularly useful for traders who are looking to trade in markets that are trending strongly, but also want to identify when a trend is losing momentum or reversing.
Traders can use QQE in a number of different ways, including as a confirmation tool for other indicators or as a standalone indicator. For example, when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools like support and resistance levels, the QQE indicator can help traders identify key entry and exit points for their trades.
One of the main advantages of the QQE indicator is that it is designed to be more reliable than other indicators that can generate false signals. By smoothing out the price action, the QQE indicator can provide traders with more accurate and reliable signals, which can help them make more profitable trading decisions.
In conclusion, QQE is a popular technical analysis indicator that traders use to identify trends and trading opportunities in financial markets. It combines the RSI and moving average indicators and is designed to provide traders with reliable signals that confirm the strength of a trend or indicate a possible trend reversal.
What is QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity?
This version is using Parabolic Weighted Velocity and it can help in determining trend. Adjust the calculating period to your trading style: longer - to trend traders, shorter - for scalping.

EMA SuiteFor strategies with moving averages, of course. My preference is to use Fibonacci values, but it can be configured with any setup. When working on a single timeframe, it allows adding averages or groups of averages from other timeframes, I’ve used this for scalping. The indicator is designed to be dynamic and adaptable. By editing the script, it’s easy to add or remove averages.
Larger averages might slow down loading, and a color palette selector could be added since manually setting 11 values is tedious.
I’m open to any suggestions
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.

VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator SwiftEdgeVWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator
Overview
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator is a powerful and visually engaging tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in trending markets. By combining the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and a unique retracement-based signal logic, this indicator pinpoints moments when the price pulls back to a key zone before resuming its trend. Its modern, AI-inspired visuals and customizable features make it both intuitive and adaptable for traders of all levels.
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on a sophisticated yet straightforward strategy:
Buy Signals: Triggered when the price is above VWAP, has recently retraced to the zone between two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods), and a strong bullish candle closes above both EMAs.
Sell Signals: Triggered when the price is below VWAP, has retraced to the EMA zone, and a strong bearish candle closes below both EMAs.
Signal Filtering: A customizable cooldown period ensures that only the first signal in a sequence is shown, reducing noise while preserving opportunities for new trends.
Confidence Scores: Each signal includes an AI-inspired confidence score (0-100%), calculated from candle strength and price distance to VWAP, helping traders gauge signal reliability.
The indicator’s visuals enhance decision-making with dynamic gradient lines, a highlighted retracement zone, and clear signal labels, all customizable to suit your preferences.
How It Works
The indicator integrates several components that work together to create a cohesive trading tool:
VWAP: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level, reflecting the average price weighted by volume. It filters signals to ensure buys occur in uptrends (price above VWAP) and sells in downtrends (price below VWAP).
Dual EMAs: Two EMAs (default 12 and 21 periods) define a retracement zone where the price is likely to consolidate before continuing its trend. Signals are generated only after the price exits this zone with conviction.
Retracement Logic: The indicator looks for price pullbacks to the EMA zone within a user-defined lookback window (default 5 candles), ensuring signals align with trend continuation patterns.
Candle Strength: Signals require strong candles (bullish for buys, bearish for sells) with a minimum body size based on the Average True Range (ATR), filtering out weak or indecisive moves.
Cooldown Mechanism: A unique feature that prevents signal clutter by allowing only the first signal within a user-defined period (default 3 candles), balancing responsiveness with clarity.
Confidence Score: Combines candle body size and price distance to VWAP to assign a score, giving traders an at-a-glance measure of signal strength without needing external analysis.
These components are carefully combined to capture high-probability setups while minimizing false signals, making the indicator suitable for both short-term and swing trading.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a 15-minute chart (recommended) or your preferred timeframe.
Customize Settings:
VWAP Source: Choose the price source (default: hlc3).
EMA Periods: Adjust the fast and slow EMA periods (default: 12 and 21).
Retracement Window: Set how many candles to look back for retracement (default: 5).
ATR Period & Body Size: Define candle strength requirements (default: 14 ATR period, 0.3 multiplier).
Cooldown Period: Control the minimum candles between signals (default: 3; set to 0 to disable).
Candle Requirements: Toggle whether signals require bullish/bearish candles or entire candle above/below EMAs.
Visuals: Enable/disable gradient colors, retracement zone, confidence scores, and choose a color scheme (Neon, Light, or Dark).
Interpret Signals:
Buy: A green "Buy" label with a confidence score appears below the candle when conditions are met.
Sell: A red "Sell" label with a confidence score appears above the candle.
Use the confidence score to prioritize higher-probability signals (e.g., above 80%).
Trade Management: Combine signals with your risk management strategy, such as setting stop-loss below the retracement zone and targeting a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Why It’s Unique
The VWAP + EMA Retracement Indicator stands out due to its thoughtful integration of classic indicators with modern enhancements:
Balanced Signal Filtering: The cooldown mechanism ensures clarity without missing key opportunities, unlike many indicators that overwhelm with frequent signals.
AI-Inspired Confidence: The confidence score simplifies decision-making by quantifying signal strength, mimicking advanced analytical tools in an accessible way.
Elegant Visuals: Dynamic gradients, a highlighted retracement zone, and customizable color schemes (Neon, Light, Dark) create a sleek, futuristic interface that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Flexibility: Extensive customization options let traders tailor the indicator to their style, from conservative swing trading to aggressive scalping.
Altcoin Reversal or Correction DetectionINDICATOR OVERVIEW: Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection
Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection is a powerful crypto-specific indicator designed exclusively for altcoins by analyzing their RSI values across multiple timeframes alongside Bitcoin’s RSI. Since BTC's price movements have a strong influence on altcoins, this tool helps traders better understand whether a reversal or correction signal is truly reliable or just noise. Even if an altcoin appears oversold or overbought, it may continue trending with BTC—so this indicator gives you the full picture.
The indicator is optimized for CRYPTO MARKETS only. Not suitable for BTC itself—this is a precision tool built only for ALTCOINS only.
This indicator is not only for signals but also serves as a tool for observing all the information from different timeframes of BTC and altcoins collectively.
How the Calculation Works: Algorithm Overview
The Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection indicator relies on an algorithm that compares the RSI values of the altcoin across multiple timeframes with Bitcoin's RSI values. This allows the indicator to identify key market moments where a reversal or correction might occur.
BTC-Altcoin RSI Correlation: The algorithm looks for the correlation between Bitcoin's price movements and the altcoin's price actions, as BTC often influences the direction of altcoins. When both Bitcoin and the altcoin show either overbought or oversold conditions in a significant number of timeframes, the indicator signals the potential for a reversal or correction.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Unlike traditional indicators that may focus on a single timeframe, this tool checks multiple timeframes for both BTC and the altcoin. When the same overbought/oversold conditions are met across multiple timeframes, it confirms the likelihood of a trend reversal or correction, providing a more reliable signal. The more timeframes that align with this pattern, the stronger the signal becomes.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions & Extreme RSI Values: The algorithm also takes into account the size of the RSI values, especially focusing on extreme overbought and oversold levels. The greater the RSI values are in these extreme regions, the stronger the potential reversal or correction signal. This means that not only do multiple timeframes need to confirm the condition, but the magnitude of the overbought or oversold RSI level plays a crucial role in determining the strength of the signal.
Signal Strength Levels: The signals are classified into three levels:
Early Signal
Strong Signal
Very Strong Signal
By taking into account the multi-timeframe analysis of both BTC and the altcoin RSI values, along with the magnitude of these RSI values, the indicator offers a highly reliable method for detecting potential reversals and corrections.
Who Is This Indicator Suitable For?
This indicator can also be used to detect reversal points, but it is especially effective for scalping. It highlights potential correction points, making it perfect for quick entries during smaller market pullbacks or short-term trend shifts, which is more suitable for scalpers looking to capitalize on short-term movements
Integration with other tools
Use this tool alongside key Support and Resistance zones to further enhance your trade by filtering for even better quality entries and focusing only on high-quality reversal or correction setups. It can be also used with other indicators and suitable with other personalised strategies.

Cryptolabs Global Liquidity Cycle Momentum IndicatorCryptolabs Global Liquidity Cycle Momentum Indicator (LMI-BTC)
This open-source indicator combines global central bank liquidity data with Bitcoin price movements to identify medium- to long-term market cycles and momentum phases. It is designed for traders who want to incorporate macroeconomic factors into their Bitcoin analysis.
How It Works
The script calculates a Liquidity Index using balance sheet data from four central banks (USA: ECONOMICS:USCBBS, Japan: FRED:JPNASSETS, China: ECONOMICS:CNCBBS, EU: FRED:ECBASSETSW), augmented by the Dollar Index (TVC:DXY) and Chinese 10-year bond yields (TVC:CN10Y). This index is:
- Logarithmically scaled (math.log) to better represent large values like central bank balances and Bitcoin prices.
- Normalized over a 50-period range to balance fluctuations between minimum and maximum values.
- Compared to prior-year values, with the number of bars dynamically adjusted based on the timeframe (e.g., 252 for 1D, 52 for 1W), to compute percentage changes.
The liquidity change is analyzed using a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) (period: 24) to measure momentum trends. A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) (period: 10) acts as a signal line. The Bitcoin price is also plotted logarithmically to highlight parallels with liquidity cycles.
Usage
Traders can use the indicator to:
- Identify global liquidity cycles influencing Bitcoin price trends, such as expansive or restrictive monetary policies.
- Detect momentum phases: Values above 50 suggest overbought conditions, below -50 indicate oversold conditions.
- Anticipate trend reversals by observing CMO crossovers with the signal line.
It performs best on higher timeframes like daily (1D) or weekly (1W) charts. The visualization includes:
- CMO line (green > 50, red < -50, blue neutral), signal line (white), Bitcoin price (gray).
- Horizontal lines at 50, 0, and -50 for improved readability.
Originality
This indicator stands out from other momentum tools like RSI or basic price analysis due to:
- Unique Data Integration: Combines four central bank datasets, DXY, and CN10Y as macroeconomic proxies for Bitcoin.
- Dynamic Prior-Year Analysis: Calculates liquidity changes relative to historical values, adjustable by timeframe.
- Logarithmic Normalization: Enhances visibility of extreme values, critical for cryptocurrencies and macro data.
This combination offers a rare perspective on the interplay between global liquidity and Bitcoin, unavailable in other open-source scripts.
Settings
- CMO Period: Default 24, adjustable for faster/slower signals.
- Signal WMA: Default 10, for smoothing the CMO line.
- Normalization Window: Default 50 periods, customizable.
Users can modify these parameters in the Pine Editor to tailor the indicator to their strategy.
Note
This script is designed for medium- to long-term analysis, not scalping. For optimal results, combine it with additional analyses (e.g., on-chain data, support/resistance levels). It does not guarantee profits but supports informed decisions based on macroeconomic trends.
Data Sources
- Bitcoin: INDEX:BTCUSD
- Liquidity: ECONOMICS:USCBBS, FRED:JPNASSETS, ECONOMICS:CNCBBS, FRED:ECBASSETSW
- Additional: TVC:DXY, TVC:CN10Y
Discount/Premium OTE LevelsThis indicator is created to identify discount/premium areas to provide additional confluence to trades taken. The underlying theory is that the trades taken in discounted areas are likely to have less risk due to a smaller stop loss and a higher reward/risk ratio.
The indicator operates by first identifying a zone between the last major swing high and low. These highs and lows are determined as price points that at the extremes within the number of bars to the left, as defined by the "Swing Sensitivity" setting.
Once a price zone is established, the indicator verifies that the zone meets the minimum size in points as configured via the "Minimum size" setting to be considered tradable. Zones that are too small may not provide a sufficient range even for scalping. The default value is 42 points based on Nasdaq, which means that the distance between inner most OTE levels (0.382 and 0.618) is at least 10 points.
When a valid zone is identified, it is then subdivided into areas of interest based on OTE levels, which can be configured/adjusted via the "Levels to Draw" setting. These levels represent the midpoint (50%), which distinguishes between premium and discount, and the three OTE levels 0.79, 0.705, 0.618, above the 50% for discount and below the 50% for premium.
For example, if a zone is formed initially by a swing low followed by a swing high with the assumption that the draw is higher, the indicator can be used to formulate long positions from below the 50% level starting at 0.38 OTE level, or ideally at 0.295 OTE level using 0 as a stop loss. Alternatively, if the 50% level is not yet tapped, short scalp positions can be made from 0.79-0.618 OTE levels with 50% as a partial or TP target.
See for long/short example
Typically, the indicator will show only a single zone. However, there may be cases with two zones: one larger parent zone containing a smaller, valid price zone within itself.
The indicator will automatically invalidate and remove the zone once the high/low of the zone is invalidated.
Configuration:
The indicator provides several visualization options for customization, including:
Color settings for OTE levels, with separate settings for edge/50% color, premium, and discount levels.
Settings for line style for OTE levels.
Settings to determine whether to show prices on level labels.
Settings to decide if lines should be extended to the right.
ViPlay Signal Indicator ProViPlay Signal Indicator Pro is an innovative tool designed for traders looking to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of their trading decisions. It provides a comprehensive approach to market analysis, generating informative trend change signals based on in-depth market analysis and advanced algorithms.
By adjusting the RISK parameter, traders can customize the signal frequency to match their preferences and trading strategies. This versatile tool is suitable for various trading styles and assets, including Forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, helping traders make informed decisions across any market.
Key Features of the Indicator
1. The RISK parameter controls the frequency of trend change signals. The lower the value, the more frequent the signals will appear, and vice versa. This gives users flexibility in adjusting the indicator according to their strategy.
2. Signal Generation:
Modified Range Oscillator (MRO):
This is the core element of the indicator's functionality. It works in two stages:
– MRO1: This stage focuses on short-term price movements, identifying volatility peaks and potential reversal points that may indicate an upcoming trend change. It is particularly useful for traders looking for quick opportunities.
– MRO2: This stage analyzes long-term trends, filtering out minor market fluctuations. It helps traders focus on more stable movements, reducing the impact of noise.
Williams %R:
This indicator works in conjunction with MRO, confirming reversal points by analyzing market overbought or oversold conditions. This reduces the likelihood of false signals, providing additional confidence in forecasts.
The combination of MRO and Williams %R ensures that traders receive reliable and timely signals, reflecting both immediate market conditions (via MRO1) and long-term trends (via MRO2), making the tool suitable for different trading horizons.
How the components work together:
MRO performs the primary task of identifying potential trend reversal points, dividing the analysis into short-term and long-term perspectives. In the first stage (MRO1), it evaluates market volatility and predicts potential reversals. In the second stage (MRO2), it filters out random fluctuations, providing more stable signals. Williams %R acts as an additional layer of confirmation: if MRO indicates a trend reversal and Williams %R confirms it by showing overbought or oversold conditions, the signal is considered more reliable.
In an uptrend, MRO1 indicates a reversal when the price reaches a local high, while MRO2 confirms the trend's stability. Williams %R further validates this signal, reducing the likelihood of a false entry. In a downtrend, the indicator works similarly, helping traders lock in profits or open short positions.
Williams %R:
Complements MRO by assessing market conditions for overbought or oversold levels. If MRO1 indicates a reversal and Williams %R confirms it, the likelihood of a false signal is significantly reduced.
RISK parameter:
Controls the sensitivity of MRO1 to changes in volatility. At higher values, minor fluctuations are filtered out, which is useful for long-term strategies. At lower values, the signals become more frequent, making it suitable for scalping.
3. Visual Signals:
– Green Up Arrow: Marks potential upward trends.
– Red Down Arrow: Marks potential downward trends, helping traders identify possible entry points
4. How levels are calculated:
Support and resistance levels are calculated based on historical price data. Specifically:
Support 1: This is the minimum price (low) over the last 200 bars.
Support 2: This is the minimum price over the last 500 bars.
Support 3: This is the minimum price over the last 1000 bars.
Resistance 1: This is the maximum price (high) over the last 200 bars.
Resistance 2: This is the maximum price over the last 500 bars.
Resistance 3: This is the maximum price over the last 1000 bars.
The levels are not static; they update with every bar, allowing traders to see current price zones. Users can enable or disable the display of different levels through parameters.
Support and resistance levels help traders identify key points for potential price reversals. The indicator automatically calculates these levels and displays them on the chart, allowing the user to use them for making trading decisions.

RTI Thresholds Index | mad_tiger_slayerOverview of the Script
The Relative Trend Index (RTI) Threshold Index is a custom indicator for TradingView that enhances a Relative Trend Index (RTI) . The RTI is designed to reflect the market’s trend strength by comparing the current price to dynamically calculated upper and lower trend boundaries. Additionally, the indicator includes overbought and oversold thresholds, and Trend-coded signals to visually represent market conditions for easier analysis. The RTI Threshold Index is created and meant for long term investments targeted for longer swing trades over a few months to years.
How Do Investors Use the RTI Trend Index?
In the provided chart image, the indicator is displayed on a Bitcoin price chart. Here’s what each visual component represents:
INTENDED USES
The RTI Threshold Index is NOT intended for SCALPING.
With the nature of its components and calculations. This indicator will give false signals when the Timeframe is too low. The best intended use for high-quality signals are above the 12hr timeframes (Note: Coded to be used above 1 Day Timeframes)
The RTI Threshold Index is a TREND-FOLLOWING and MEAN REVERTING INDICATOR . With the explanation below of the image you can see both Trend-Following and Mean Reversion Uses.
A VISUAL REPRESENTATION INTENDED USES
Relative Trend Index Line (Green/Red): The main RTI line changes colors based on long or short conditions, providing an immediate visual cue of the trend direction. This conditional state enter long when the RTI is greater than the long threshold and will not enter short until it is less than the short threshold. (vice versa) When the RTI is less than the short threshold and will not enter long until it is greater than the long threshold.
EMA of RTI: A smoothed version of the RTI in yellow for more stable trend analysis. This EMA can be used for LONGER TERM trends. When the smoothed RTI is above 50, investors can assume that the trend will be in a trending state. Because this is slower than the RTI, you will get slower entries and slower exits.
Threshold Lines: Green and red lines for long and short thresholds, along with dashed lines for overbought and oversold levels. These lines can be calibrated to allow the RTI to enter a long trending or short trending state. The lower the value is for Long Threshold line , it will enter a long trend faster. The higher the value for Short Threshold Line , it will exit faster. We can also set Overbought and Oversold Thresholds. With the RTI entering above the Overbought Threshold line, Investors can assume that the environment is getting heated or is overbought. Same for oversold with the RTI entering below the Oversold Threshold line, Investors can assume that the environment is getting heated or is overbought.
Gradient Background: Shaded overbought and oversold areas improve readability by distinguishing these zones. This coloring of the shaded area tells us the oversold and overbought levels.
Colored Candles: Candles change color based on the RTI condition, aligning the price action visually with the trend status. The Green symbolizes a long state while red symbolizes a short state.
__________________________________________________________________________________
The indicator's primary elements include:
Input Parameters: Configurable settings for trend length, sensitivity, moving average (MA) period, thresholds, and overbought/oversold levels.
RTI Calculation: Computation of trend boundaries and the RTI value based on the price's position within these boundaries.
Visual Components: Horizontal threshold lines, plotted RTI values, color-coded candles, and gradient fills for overbought and oversold zones.
1. Input Parameters
The script includes several configurable inputs, allowing users to customize the indicator’s sensitivity and behavior according to market conditions:
Trend Length: Controls the number of data points for trend calculations. Higher values produce a smoother, less responsive trend, while lower values make the trend more sensitive to recent price changes.
Trend Sensitivity: Sets the sensitivity by defining the upper and lower percentiles for the trend boundaries. Higher sensitivity values make the RTI less reactive, while lower values increase responsiveness.
MA length: Defines the period for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to the RTI, smoothing its output.
longThreshold and shortThreshold: Set the levels for entering long and short positions. The RTI crossing above longThreshold or below shortThreshold signals a long or short condition, respectively.
Overbought and oversold thresholds: When RTI exceeds overbought or falls below oversold, it indicates overbought or oversold market conditions.
2. Relative Trend Index (RTI) Calculation
The RTI is calculated by dynamically setting upper and lower trend boundaries:
Upper Trend and Lower Trend: Calculated by adding and subtracting the standard deviation of the closing price to/from the close, providing a measure of price variation.
upper array and Lower Arrays : Arrays that hold the upper and lower trend values over the specified trend length period.
Sorting and Indexing: After sorting these arrays, the values at specific percentiles (based on trend sensitivity) are selected as UpperTrend and LowerTrend.
RTI formula: The RTI is calculated by normalizing the close price within the range of UpperTrend and LowerTrend. This yields a percentage that reflects the price's relative position within the trend range.
3. Threshold and Signal Lines
Several horizontal lines mark key threshold levels:
midline: A dashed line at 50, marking the RTI midpoint.
overbought and oversold: Dashed lines for the overbought and oversold levels as set by overbought and oversold.
long hline and short hline: Solid lines marking the longThreshold and shortThreshold levels for entering long and short trades. They are colored Green for long threshold and Red for short threshold
4. Long and Short Conditions
The script defines long and short conditions based on the RTI’s position relative to the longThreshold and shortThreshold:
isLong: Set to true when the RTI exceeds longThreshold, signaling a long condition.
isShort: Set to true when the RTI drops below shortThreshold, signaling a short condition. overboughtcandles and oversoldcandles: Boolean variables that indicate when the RTI crosses the overbought or oversold thresholds, enhancing visual feedback.
5. Color Coding
Color-coded elements help to visually indicate the RTI's current state:
rtiColor: Sets the RTI line color based on the long or short condition (green for long, red for short).
obosColor: Colors specific candles in the overbought (yellow) and oversold (purple) regions, adding clarity to these conditions.
6. Plotting and Visualization
The following components display the RTI indicator and its conditions visually:
RTI and EMA Plot: The RTI line is plotted alongside an EMA line for smooth trend observation. The RTI line uses the conditional colors to indicate market conditions.
Background Gradient Fill: Shaded areas between the overbought and oversold levels highlight these zones in the background.
Colored Candles: Candles on the price chart are color-coded based on the RTI condition (green for long, red for short), making it easy to see trend direction changes.
Overbought and Oversold Gradient Fill: Gradient fills are applied to the overbought and oversold regions, creating a visual effect when the RTI reaches extreme levels.
Conclusion
The RTI Threshold Indicator is a powerful tool for assessing trend strength and market conditions. With configurable parameters, it adapts well to various timeframes and market environments, providing investors with a reliable means to identify potential entry and exit points.

#### Introduction
The **Uptrick: SMA Pivot Marker (SPM)** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool crafted by Uptrick to help traders interpret market trends and identify key price levels where significant reversals might occur. By integrating the principles of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with pivot point analysis, the SPM offers a comprehensive approach to understanding market dynamics. This extensive guide explores the purpose, functionality, and practical applications of the SPM, providing an in-depth analysis of its features, settings, and usage across various trading strategies.
#### Purpose of the SPM
The **SMA Pivot Marker (SPM)** aims to enhance trading strategies by offering a dual approach to market analysis:
1. **Trend Identification**:
- **Objective**: To discern the prevailing market direction and guide trading decisions based on the overall trend.
- **Method**: Utilizes the SMA to smooth out price fluctuations, providing a clearer picture of the trend. This helps traders align their trades with the market's direction, increasing the probability of successful trades.
2. **Pivot Point Detection**:
- **Objective**: To identify key levels where the price is likely to reverse, providing potential support and resistance zones.
- **Method**: Calculates and marks pivot highs and lows, which are significant price points where previous trends have reversed. These levels are used to predict future price movements and establish trading strategies.
3. **Trend Change Alerts**:
- **Objective**: To notify traders of potential shifts in market direction, enabling timely adjustments to trading positions.
- **Method**: Detects and highlights crossover and crossunder points of the smoothed line, indicating possible trend changes. This helps traders react promptly to changing market conditions.
#### Detailed Functionality
1. **Smoothing Line Calculation**:
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA)**:
- **Definition**: The SMA is a type of moving average that calculates the average of a security’s price over a specified number of periods. It smooths out price data to filter out short-term fluctuations and highlight the longer-term trend.
- **Calculation**: The SMA is computed by summing the closing prices of the chosen number of periods and then dividing by the number of periods. For example, a 20-period SMA adds the closing prices for the past 20 periods and divides by 20.
- **Purpose**: The SMA helps in identifying the direction of the trend. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA indicates a downtrend. This smoothing helps traders to avoid being misled by short-term price noise.
2. **Pivot Points Calculation**:
- **Pivot Highs and Lows**:
- **Definition**: Pivot points are significant price levels where a market trend is likely to reverse. A pivot high is the highest price over a certain period, surrounded by lower prices on both sides, while a pivot low is the lowest price surrounded by higher prices.
- **Calculation**: The SPM calculates pivot points based on a user-defined lookback period. For instance, if the lookback period is set to 3, the indicator will find the highest and lowest prices within the past 3 periods and mark these points.
- **Purpose**: Pivot points are used to identify potential support and resistance levels. Traders often use these levels to set entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and to gauge market sentiment.
3. **Visualization**:
- **Smoothed Line Plot**:
- **Description**: The smoothed line, calculated using the SMA, is plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the trend. This line adjusts its color based on the trend direction, helping traders quickly assess the market condition.
- **Color Coding**: The smoothed line is colored green (upColor) when it is rising, indicating a bullish trend, and red (downColor) when it is falling, indicating a bearish trend. This color-coding helps traders visually differentiate between uptrends and downtrends.
- **Line Width**: The width of the line can be adjusted to improve visibility. A thicker line may be more noticeable, while a thinner line might provide a cleaner look on the chart.
- **Pivot Markers**:
- **Description**: Pivot highs and lows are marked on the chart with lines and labels. These markers help in visually identifying significant price levels.
- **Color and Labels**: Pivot highs are represented with green lines and labels ("H"), while pivot lows are marked with red lines and labels ("L"). This color scheme and labeling make it easy to distinguish between resistance (highs) and support (lows).
4. **Trend Change Detection**:
- **Trend Up**:
- **Detection**: The indicator identifies an upward trend change when the smoothed line crosses above its previous value. This crossover suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
- **Usage**: Traders can interpret this signal as a potential buying opportunity or an indication to review and possibly adjust their trading positions to align with the new uptrend.
- **Trend Down**:
- **Detection**: A downward trend change is detected when the smoothed line crosses below its previous value. This crossunder indicates a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
- **Usage**: This signal can be used to consider selling opportunities or to reassess long positions in light of the emerging downtrend.
#### User Inputs
1. **Smoothing Period**:
- **Description**: This input determines the number of periods over which the SMA is calculated. It directly affects the smoothness of the line and the sensitivity of trend detection.
- **Range**: The smoothing period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1. There is no specified upper limit, offering flexibility for various trading styles.
- **Default Value**: The default smoothing period is 20, which is a common choice for medium-term trend analysis.
- **Impact**: A longer smoothing period results in a smoother line, filtering out more noise and highlighting long-term trends. A shorter period makes the line more responsive to recent price changes, which can be useful for short-term trading strategies.
2. **Pivot Lookback**:
- **Description**: This input specifies the number of periods used to calculate the pivot highs and lows. It influences the sensitivity of pivot point detection and the relevance of the identified levels.
- **Range**: The pivot lookback period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1, with no upper limit. Traders can adjust this parameter based on their trading timeframe and preferences.
- **Default Value**: The default lookback period is 3, which provides a balance between detecting significant pivots and avoiding excessive noise.
- **Impact**: A longer lookback period generates more stable pivot points, suitable for identifying long-term support and resistance levels. A shorter lookback period results in more frequent and recent pivot points, useful for intraday trading and quick responses to price changes.
#### Applications for Different Traders
1. **Trend Followers**:
- **Using the SMA**: Trend followers utilize the smoothed line to gauge the direction of the market. By aligning trades with the direction of the SMA, traders can capitalize on sustained trends and improve their chances of success.

GKD-C Zero-lag TEMA Crosses [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Zero-lag TEMA Crosses is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Zero-lag TEMA Crosses
Zero-lag TEMA Crosses is a spinoff of a the Zero-lag MA as described by David Stendahl in the April 2000 issue of the journal "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities". This indicator uses TEMA calculation mode in order to make the lag lesser compared to the original Zero-lag MA, and that makes this version even faster than the Zero-lag DEMA too. This indicator is the difference between a Fast and Slow Zero-lag TEMA. This indicator is very useful for lower timeframe scalping.
What is the Zero-lag MA?
The Zero-lag MA (Zero-Lag Moving Average) is a technical indicator that was introduced in the April 2000 issue of the journal "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities" by David Stendahl.
The Zero-lag MA is a type of moving average (MA) that is designed to reduce or eliminate the lag that is typically associated with traditional moving averages. Moving averages are a widely used technical analysis tool that helps traders to identify trends and potential trading opportunities. They work by calculating the average price of a security over a given period of time, and then plotting that average on a chart. The most commonly used moving averages are simple moving averages (SMAs) and exponential moving averages (EMAs).
The problem with traditional moving averages is that they can be slow to respond to changes in market conditions. This lag can cause traders to miss out on potential trading opportunities, or to enter or exit trades at the wrong time. The Zero-lag MA was developed as a solution to this problem.
The Zero-lag MA is calculated using a combination of two EMAs and a subtraction formula. The first step in calculating the Zero-lag MA is to calculate two exponential moving averages: a fast EMA and a slow EMA. The fast EMA is calculated over a shorter period of time than the slow EMA. The exact period lengths will depend on the trader's preferences and the security being analyzed.
Once the two EMAs have been calculated, the next step is to take the difference between them. This difference represents the current market trend, with a positive value indicating an uptrend and a negative value indicating a downtrend. However, this difference alone is not enough to create a useful indicator, as it can still suffer from lag.
To further reduce lag, the difference between the two EMAs is multiplied by a factor derived from a third, slower EMA. This slower EMA acts as a smoothing factor, helping to reduce noise and make the indicator more accurate. The exact period length of the slower EMA will depend on the trader's preferences and the security being analyzed.
The final step in calculating the Zero-lag MA is to add the result of the multiplication to the fast EMA. This produces a final value that represents the current market trend with reduced lag. The Zero-lag MA can be plotted on a chart like any other moving average, and can be used to identify trends, potential trading opportunities, and support and resistance levels.
Overall, the Zero-lag MA is designed to provide traders with a more accurate representation of current market conditions by reducing the lag time between price changes and the moving average. By doing so, it can help traders to make more informed trading decisions and improve their overall profitability.
What is the TEMA?
The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) is a technical analysis indicator that was developed to reduce the lag of traditional moving averages, such as the simple moving average (SMA) or the exponential moving average (EMA). The TEMA was first introduced by Patrick Mulloy in the January 1994 issue of the "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities" magazine.
The TEMA is a type of moving average that is calculated by applying multiple exponential smoothing techniques to price data. Unlike traditional moving averages, which apply a single smoothing factor to price data, the TEMA applies three smoothing factors to produce a more responsive and accurate indicator.
To calculate the TEMA, the following steps are taken:
Calculate the single exponential moving average (SMA) of the price data over a given period.
Calculate the double exponential moving average (DEMA) of the SMA over the same period.
Calculate the triple exponential moving average (TEMA) of the DEMA over the same period.
The formula for calculating the TEMA is:
TEMA = 3 * EMA(SMA) - 3 * EMA(EMA(SMA)) + EMA(EMA(EMA(SMA)))
where EMA is the exponential moving average and SMA is the simple moving average.
The TEMA is designed to reduce the lag associated with traditional moving averages by applying multiple smoothing factors to the price data. This helps to filter out short-term price fluctuations and provide a smoother indicator of the underlying trend. The TEMA is also less susceptible to whipsaws, which occur when a security's price moves in one direction and then quickly reverses, causing false trading signals.
The TEMA can be used in a variety of ways in technical analysis. It can be used to identify trends, determine support and resistance levels, and generate trading signals. When the TEMA is rising, it is generally interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating that the price is trending higher. When the TEMA is falling, it is generally interpreted as a bearish signal, indicating that the price is trending lower.
In summary, the TEMA is a more responsive and accurate indicator than traditional moving averages, designed to reduce lag and provide a smoother representation of the underlying trend. It is a useful tool for technical analysts and traders looking to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential trading opportunities.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Zero-lag TEMA Crosses as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

Damage Indicator by Scipio ProScipio Pro's Damage Indicator detects strong momentum on tops and bottoms. It is intended for swing trading.
The script analyzes both recent and less-recent price action and performs candle stick analysis. It also uses SDs and multiple Bollinger Bands to find dynamic levels for entries.
A Bears Damaged signal emerges whenever there is convincing proof of strength at a bottom. Often, when the market reverses quickly, traders are caught offside and are forced to buy higher. The reverse goes for Bulls Damaged signals, which mean there is convincing proof of bearish strength at a (local?) top.
Whether the move gets legs depends in large part on the structure in which the show of momentum takes place. It is sensible to wonder after each signal whether the market structure (and other relevant context such as the majority of cash having been sidelined) dictates that risk-reward is skewed to the upside or to the downside. If, for example, a Bears Damaged signal emerges on the daily and risk-reward on the weekly is skewed to the upside, go 4x larger (again, just an example). If, on the other hand, the same signal emerges on the daily while the risk-reward is skewed to the downside on the weekly, bet much smaller and tighten your stop-loss. For best results, I suggest you always check one timeframe higher for your long-term risk-reward bias. (No financial advice, of course.)
Under Settings you'll find the so-called Noise Protection , which is switched "on" by default. We recommend you keep this switched on. Noise Protection ensures you do not see Damage signals on timeframes lower than the 4 hour. After all, chasing momentum on low timeframes is a losing game. The amount of noise increases exponentially as you move lower down the timeframes. Again, this indicator is for swing trades. Don't use it for scalping.
It should be useful for all assets, but is of course more useful on some than on others. As with all indicators, signals tend to be more meaningful if the asset in question is at least somewhat liquid, for instance.
As always, use at your own risk. Using indicators is no substitute for using one's brain.
RSI Exponential Smoothing (Expo)█ Background information
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are two popular indicators. Traders use these indicators to understand market trends and predict future price changes. However, traders often wonder which indicator is better: RSI or EMA.
What if these indicators give similar results? To find out, we wanted to study the relationship between RSI and EMA. We focused on a hypothesis: when the RSI goes above 50, it might be similar to the price crossing above a certain length of EMA. Similarly, when the RSI goes below 50, it might be similar to the price crossing below a certain length of EMA.
Our goal was simple: to figure out if there is any connection between RSI and EMA.
Conclusion: Yes, it seems that there is a correlation between RSI and EMA, and this indicator clearly displays that relationship. Read more about the study here:
█ Overview of the indicator
The RSI Exponential Smoothing indicator displays RSI levels with clear overbought and oversold zones, shown as easy-to-understand moving averages, and the RSI 50 line as an EMA. Another excellent feature is the added FIB levels. To activate, open the settings and click on "FIB Bands." These levels act as short-term support and resistance levels which can be used for scalping.
█ Benefits of using this indicator instead of regular RSI
The findings about the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) highlight that both indicators are equally accurate (when it comes to crossings), meaning traders can choose either one without compromising accuracy. This empowers traders to pick the indicator that suits their personal preferences and trading style.
█ How it works
Crossings over/under the value of 50
The EMA line in the indicator acts as the corresponding 50 line in the RSI. When the RSI crosses the value 50 equals when Close crosses the EMA line.
Bouncess from the value 50
In this example, we can see that the EMA line on the chart acts as support/resistance equals when RSI rejects the 50 level.
Overbought and Oversold
The indicator comes with overbought and oversold bands equal when RSI becomes overbought or oversold.
█ How to use
This visual representation helps traders to apply RSI strategies directly on the price chart, potentially making RSI trading easier for traders.
