Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength [UAlgo]The "Money Flow Index Trend Zone Strength " indicator is designed to analyze and visualize the strength of market trends and OB/OS zones using the Money Flow Index (MFI). The MFI is a momentum indicator that incorporates both price and volume data, providing insights into the buying and selling pressure in the market. This script enhances the traditional MFI by introducing trend and zone strength analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
๐ถ Customizable Settings
Amplitude: Defines the range for the MFI Zone Strength calculation.
Wavelength: Period used for the MFI calculation and Stochastic calculations.
Smoothing Factor: Smoothing period for the Stochastic calculations.
Show Zone Strength: Enables/disables visualization of the MFI Zone Strength line.

Trend Anchor: Selects the anchor point (0 or 50) for the Trend Strength Stochastic calculation.
Trend Transform MA Length: Moving Average length for the Trend Transform calculation.
๐ถ Calculations
Zone Strength (Stochastic MFI):
The highest and lowest MFI values over a specified amplitude are used to normalize the MFI value:
MFI Highest: Highest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Lowest: Lowest MFI value over the amplitude period.
MFI Zone Strength: (MFI Value - MFI Lowest) / (MFI Highest - MFI Lowest)
By normalizing and smoothing the MFI values, we aim to highlight the relative strength of different market zones.
Trend Strength:
The smoothed MFI zone strength values are further processed to calculate the trend strength:
EMA of MFI Zone Strength: Exponential Moving Average of the MFI Zone Strength over the wavelength period.
Stochastic of EMA: Stochastic calculation of the EMA values, smoothed with the same smoothing factor.
Purpose: The trend strength calculation provides insights into the underlying market trends. By using EMA and stochastic functions, we can filter out noise and better understand the overall market direction. This helps traders stay aligned with the prevailing trend and make more informed trading decisions.
๐ถ Usage
Interpreting Zone Strength: The zone strength plot helps identify overbought and oversold conditions. A higher zone strength indicates potential overbought conditions, while a lower zone strength suggests oversold conditions, can suggest areas for entry/exit decisions.
Interpreting Trend Strength: The trend strength plot visualizes the underlying market trend, can help signal potential trend continuation or reversal based on the chosen anchor point.
Using the Trend Transform: The trend transform plot provides an additional layer of trend analysis, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points.
Combine the insights from the zone strength and trend strength plots with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions. Look for confluence between different indicators to increase the reliability of your trades.

Multiple Divergences [UAlgo]๐ถ Description:
"Multiple Divergences " is providing insights into potential divergences across multiple indicators. Divergence, a concept in technical analysis, occurs when the price of an asset diverges from the direction of an accompanying indicator, suggesting a possible reversal or continuation in the price trend.
๐ถ Key Features:
Customizable Divergence Settings: Users can adjust parameters such as the minimum number of divergences required to display labels, pivot lookback periods, and plot options for various types of divergences (regular or hidden) and bullish/bearish labels.
Multiple Technical Indicators: The script supports a wide range of popular indicators, including MACD, RSI, Stochastic, CCI, Momentum, OBV, DMI Oscillator, VWmacd, Chaikin Money Flow, Money Flow Index, and Awesome Oscillator. You can choose any of the above-mentioned technical indicators for which you want to capture divergences.
๐ถ Purpose of Using Multiple Technical Indicators
In the complex and volatile world of trading, relying on a single indicator can provide an incomplete or misleading picture of market conditions. Different technical indicators analyze various aspects of price movement, volume, and momentum, offering unique insights that can complement each other. By utilizing multiple indicators, traders can cross-verify signals, reduce false positives, and increase the reliability of their trading decisions.
Identifying divergences across multiple indicators further enhances this reliability, as a divergence spotted in several indicators simultaneously is a stronger signal than one found in isolation. This comprehensive approach helps traders to anticipate potential market turning points with greater confidence and precision.
By integrating multiple technical indicators and meticulously tracking their divergences, this script aims traders with a robust tool for navigating the complexities of financial markets.
๐ถ How to Obtain Divergences
Regular Bullish Divergence:
This occurs when the price makes a new lower low compared to a previous pivot low, indicating a downward trend. Simultaneously, the selected oscillator makes a higher low compared to its previous pivot low, indicating a potential upward momentum. This divergence suggests that, despite the falling price, the underlying momentum is strengthening, potentially signaling a reversal to an upward trend.
Regular Bearish Divergence:
This happens when the price makes a new higher high compared to a previous pivot high, indicating an upward trend. Concurrently, the selected oscillator makes a lower high compared to its previous pivot high, indicating weakening momentum. This divergence suggests that, despite the rising price, the underlying momentum is weakening, potentially signaling a reversal to a downward trend.
Example for Regular Bullish and Regular Bearish Divergences (Minimum Divergenes Count to Display = 3, All Selected):
Hidden Bullish Divergence:
Hidden bullish divergence is observed when the price makes a higher low compared to a previous pivot low, indicating an upward trend. At the same time, the oscillator makes a lower low compared to its previous pivot low, indicating a potential strengthening momentum. This condition suggests that the underlying strength of the upward trend is intact, despite the oscillator indicating otherwise.
Hidden Bearish Divergence:
This occurs when the price makes a lower high compared to a previous pivot high, indicating a downward trend. Simultaneously, the oscillator makes a higher high compared to its previous pivot high, indicating a potential weakening momentum. This divergence suggests that the underlying weakness of the downward trend is intact, despite the oscillator indicating otherwise.
Divergence Labeling: The script dynamically generates labels on the chart to visually highlight detected divergences based on user-defined criteria. (E.g. "5 Regular Bullish Divs." , "1 Hidden Bearish Div")

Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator " is designed to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVG) within a given lookback period on a trading chart. This indicator helps traders by highlighting areas where price gaps may signify potential trading opportunities, specifically bullish and bearish patterns. By leveraging volume and Average True Range (ATR) data, the FVG Oscillator aims to enhance the accuracy of pattern recognition and provide more reliable signals for trading decisions.
๐ถ Identification of Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are specific price areas where gaps occur, and they are often considered significant in technical analysis. These gaps can indicate potential future price movements as the market may return to fill these gaps. This indicator identifies two types of FVGs:
Bullish FVG: Occurs when the current low price is higher than the high price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential upward price movement.
Obtains with:
low > high
Bearish FVG: Occurs when the current high price is lower than the low price two periods ago. This condition suggests a potential downward price movement.
Obtains with:
high < low
The FVG Oscillator not only identifies these gaps but also verifies them using volume and ATR conditions to ensure more reliable trading signals.
๐ถ Key Features
Lookback Period: Users can set the lookback period to determine how far back the indicator should search for FVG patterns.
ATR Multiplier: The ATR Multiplier is used to adjust the sensitivity of the ATR-based conditions for verifying FVG patterns.
Volume SMA Period: This setting determines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume, which helps in identifying high volume conditions.
Why ATR and Volume are Used?
ATR (Average True Range) and volume are integrated into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) Oscillator to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the identified patterns. ATR measures market volatility, helping to filter out insignificant price gaps and focus on impactful ones, ensuring that the signals are relevant and strong. Volume, on the other hand, confirms the strength of price movements. High volume often indicates the sustainability of these movements, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Together, ATR and volume ensure that the detected FVGs are both significant and supported by market activity, providing more trustworthy trading signals.
Normalized Values: The FVG counts are normalized to enhance the visual representation and interpretation of the patterns on the chart.
Visual Customization and Plotting: Users can customize the colors for positive (bullish) and negative (bearish) areas, and choose whether to display these areas on the chart, also plots the bullish and bearish FVG counts, a zero line, and the net value of FVG counts. Additionally, it uses histograms to display the width of verified bullish and bearish patterns.

BCA Candlestick Pattern Condition BuilderThe "Candlestick Pattern Condition Builder" is an indicator developed for traders who want to create and customize their own trading strategies based on candlestick patterns. It allows users to set specific conditions for entering and exiting trades, both long and short. By enabling traders to define up to five conditions based on various price points (Open, High, Low and Close) and logical operators, it provides a flexible framework for building complex trading strategies tailored to individual preferences and market behavior.
Now traders can easily configure their favorite candlestick patterns like Doji, three white soldiers, three black crows or any other pattern using this indicator.
Here are the settings to customize the indicator:
Intraday Setting:
The indicator supports time-based trading by allowing users to define specific intraday sessions. Traders can set the start and end times for trading activities, ensuring that the strategy only executes trades within the defined market hours. This feature is particularly useful for intraday traders who want to avoid overnight positions and focus on capturing intraday price movements. Users can toggle the time-based entry and exit settings on or off, providing additional flexibility in managing their trading sessions.
Long and Short Candle Configuration:
"Condition Builder" enables users to configure conditions for both long and short trades using historical candle data. Traders can select different price points (open, high, low, close) from the past five bars to create their conditions. Each condition can be set with logical operators such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to, and equal to. This allows for detailed and precise condition-building, enabling traders to tailor their strategies to specific market patterns and behaviors. Note that between any two candlestick conditions "AND" operator is used.
Candle number representation as follows:
0 - N candle (current candle)
1 - N-1 candle (previous candle)
2 - N-2 candle
3 - N-3 candle
4 - N-4 candle
Stoploss and Target Options:
The indicator allows users to set stop-loss and target levels based on various criteria. Traders can choose to set these levels as a percentage, a fixed number of points, or based on the highest or lowest prices of selected candles. Additionally, the indicator supports risk
targets, providing a method to calculate targets in relation to the stop-loss distance. These features help traders manage their risk effectively and ensure that their strategies have well-defined exit points.
Stoploss Options:
1. Percentage Stoploss:
This option allows traders to set a stop-loss level as a percentage of the entry price. For example, if the stop-loss is set at 2%, the trade will close if the price moves 2% against the entry price. This dynamic approach adjusts the stop-loss level based on the trade's entry price, providing flexibility and proportional risk management.
2. Points Stoploss:
With this option, traders specify a fixed number of points for the stop-loss. For instance, if the stop-loss is set to 50 points, the trade will close if the price moves 50 points against the entry price. This fixed approach is straightforward and easy to implement, offering a clear and consistent risk threshold.
3. Highest/Lowest of Selected Candles:
This stop-loss method uses the highest or lowest prices of selected historical candles to determine the stop-loss level. Traders can select specific past bars, and the stop-loss will be set at the highest high (for short trades) or the lowest low (for long trades) of those bars. This method is useful for incorporating recent price action into risk management.
Target Options:
1. Percentage Target:
Similar to the percentage stop-loss, this option sets the target level as a percentage of the entry price. If the target is set at 5%, the trade will aim to close when the price moves 5% in favor of the entry price. This approach ensures that the target is proportionally related to the entry price, aligning with the traderโs desired profit margin.
2. Points Target :
This target option allows traders to set a specific number of points as the target. For example, if the target is set to 100 points, the trade will aim to close when the price moves 100 points in favor of the entry price. This method provides a clear and fixed profit goal, making it easy to implement and understand.
3. Risk:Reward :
The Risk:Reward sets the target level based on a multiple of the stop-loss distance. For example, with a risk ratio of 1:2 and a stop-loss distance of 50 points, the target will be set at 100 points (2 times the stop-loss distance). This approach helps traders maintain a consistent risk profile, aiming for higher profits relative to the risk taken on each trade.
Best practice: Use it with other price action concepts or indicators to make it effective.

This strategy effectively combines the Chande Kroll Stop indicator with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to create a robust method for identifying long entry and exit points. This detailed description will explain the components, rationale, and usage to ensure compliance with TradingView's guidelines and help traders understand the strategy's utility and application.
Objective
The primary goal of this strategy is to identify potential long trading opportunities in the SPX by leveraging volatility-adjusted stop levels and trend-following principles. It aims to capture upward price movements while managing risk through dynamically calculated stops.
Chande Kroll Stop Parameters:
Calculation Mode: Offers "Linear" and "Exponential" options for position size calculation. The default mode is "Exponential."
Risk Multiplier: An adjustable multiplier for risk management and position sizing, defaulting to 5.
ATR Period: Defines the period for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), with a default of 10.
ATR Multiplier: A multiplier applied to the ATR to set stop levels, defaulting to 3.
Stop Length: Period used to determine the highest high and lowest low for stop calculation, defaulting to 21.
SMA Length: Period for the Simple Moving Average, defaulting to 21.
Calculation Details:

Chande Kroll Stop Calculation:
High Stop: The highest high over the stop length minus the ATR multiplied by the ATR multiplier.
Low Stop: The lowest low over the stop length plus the ATR multiplied by the ATR multiplier.
SMA Calculation: The 21-period SMA of the closing price is used as a trend filter.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
Long Entry: A long position is initiated when the closing price crosses over the low stop and is above the 21-period SMA. This condition ensures that the market is trending upward and that the entry is made in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Exit Long: The long position is exited when the closing price falls below the high stop, indicating potential downward movement and protecting against significant drawdowns.
Position Sizing:
The quantity of shares to trade is calculated based on the selected calculation mode (linear or exponential) and the risk multiplier. This ensures position size is adjusted dynamically based on current market conditions and user-defined risk tolerance.
Exponential Mode: Quantity is calculated using the formula: riskMultiplier / lowestClose * 1000 * strategy.equity / strategy.initial_capital.
Linear Mode: Quantity is calculated using the formula: riskMultiplier / lowestClose * 1000.
Execution:
When the long entry condition is met, the strategy triggers a buy signal, and a long position is entered with the calculated quantity. An alert is generated to notify the trader.
When the exit condition is met, the strategy closes the position and triggers a sell signal, accompanied by an alert.
Plotting:
Buy Signals: Indicated with an upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signals: Indicated with a downward triangle above the bar.

Pyramiding: Although possible, the strategy yields the best results without pyramiding.
Justification of Components
The Chande Kroll Stop indicator and the 21-period SMA are combined to provide a robust framework for identifying long trading opportunities in trending markets. Here is why they work well together:
Chande Kroll Stop Indicator: This indicator provides dynamic stop levels that adapt to market volatility, allowing traders to set logical stop-loss levels that account for current price movements. It is particularly useful in volatile markets where fixed stops can be easily hit by random price fluctuations. By using the ATR, the stop levels adjust based on recent market activity, ensuring they remain relevant in varying market conditions.
21-Period SMA: The 21-period SMA acts as a trend filter to ensure trades are taken in the direction of the prevailing market trend. By requiring the closing price to be above the SMA for long entries, the strategy aligns itself with the broader market trend, reducing the risk of entering trades against the overall market direction. This helps to avoid false signals and ensures that the trades are in line with the dominant market movement.
Combining these two components creates a balanced approach that captures trending price movements while protecting against significant drawdowns through adaptive stop levels. The Chande Kroll Stop ensures that the stops are placed at levels that reflect current volatility, while the SMA filter ensures that trades are only taken when the market is trending in the desired direction.
Concepts Underlying Calculations
ATR (Average True Range): Used to measure market volatility, which informs the stop levels.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Used to filter trades, ensuring positions are taken in the direction of the trend.
Chande Kroll Stop: Combines high and low price levels with ATR to create dynamic stop levels that adapt to market conditions.

Beyond these signals, you can set SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) levels to better manage your positions.
SL Methods:
Percentage: The stop loss is determined by the percentage you specify.
ATR : The stop level is determined based on the Average True Range (ATR).
TP Methods:
Percentage: The take profit is determined by the percentage you specify.
RR ( Risk Reward ): The take profit level is determined based on the distance from the stop level.
You can mix and match these options as you like.
What makes the indicator unique and effective is its ability to display the RSI in the bottom chart and the signals, SL (Stop Loss), and TP (Take Profit) levels in the overlay chart simultaneously. This feature allows you to manage your trading quickly and easily without the need for using two separate indicators.
Let's try out a few strategies together.
My entry signal: RSI Entered OS (Oversold) Zone

ProTrend Adaptive Indicator by TradingClueThe " ProTrend Adaptive " is an innovative trading indicator, aimed at offering traders an advanced method for detecting market trends with higher precision. This tool ingeniously integrates the principles of the Supertrend indicator with adaptive linear regression channels , enhancing its sensitivity to current market dynamics.
โฏ Core Features โฏ
โ
Trend Detection
At its heart, the ProTrend Adaptive utilizes a dual-approach for identifying trends. The first layer is derived from the Supertrend indicator, known for its effectiveness in highlighting ongoing trends using price average and volatility. This is visually represented by distinct red and green areas above or below the price candles, indicating bearish or bullish trends, respectively.
โ
Adaptive Linear Regression Channels
The second layer employs adaptive linear regression channels, which dynamically adjust their length based on the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility. This adaptability ensures the indicator remains attuned to changing market conditions, offering more relevant trend lines and signals.
โ
Signal Sensitivity
By leveraging the ATR not just in the Supertrend calculation but also to dynamically adjust the linear regression channels, the ProTrend Adaptive offers heightened sensitivity to market changes, ensuring traders receive timely and accurate signals.
โ
Entry Signals & Trend Strength
Entry points for potential trades are marked by triangles. Additionally, the indicator includes a feature that displays the strength of a trend through transparent bars below the candles, calculated using the Average Directional Index (ADX), providing users with valuable insight into the vigor of the trend.
โฏ Importance of Adaptive Approach โฏ
The adaptive nature of the ProTrend Adaptive's linear regression channels is crucial for its performance. Traditional linear regression channels are fixed in their period, which can render them less effective during periods of significant volatility shifts. By making the length of these channels responsive to the ATR, the ProTrend Adaptive ensures that the trend lines and signals it generates are always aligned with the current market context, offering traders a dynamic tool that adjusts in real-time to volatility changes.
โฏ Supertrend Indicator Explained โฏ
The Supertrend Indicator is a popular tool among traders for its simplicity and effectiveness in identifying market trends. It calculates the average price momentum and volatility to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase. Its visual simplicity, showing clear bullish and bearish zones, makes it an invaluable component of the ProTrend Adaptive, providing a solid foundation for trend detection upon which the adaptive linear regression channels build.
โฏ Example โฏ
This example illustrates several robust entry signals. These signals can seamlessly integrate into an overarching trading strategy, with exit points determined through a separate calculation. This approach allows traders to tailor their entry and exit strategies to their specific trading objectives, leveraging the ProTrend Adaptive for precise market entry while applying customized criteria for exit decisions.
Caution: Trading carries a significant risk of financial loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Signals may be conflicting or ambiguous. Employ risk reduction techniques, such as setting stop losses, to mitigate potential losses.

Pro Divergence Adaptive [regular + hidden] by TradingClue๐ด Overview ๐ด
ProDivergence Adaptive is a versatile tool designed to identify regular and hidden divergences , including regular divergences from higher timeframes , on any given chart.
This indicator combines two major approaches of identifying divergences:
- Using price-action , identification of higher-highs, higher-lows etc.
- Using a statistical model (linear regression) to determine the direction of movements
To be more sensitive to the current market conditions, both were implemented in an adaptive way.
๐ด How the mechanics and calculations work ๐ด
โ
short recap on what divergences are
Regular divergences occur when the price moves opposite to a selected oscillator, signaling potential trend reversals. They can be spotted on higher timeframes, providing stronger confirmation for potential reversals when aligned with signals on the current timeframe.
Hidden divergences indicate trend continuation. Combining these on various timeframes provides a more comprehensive analysis for traders to identify entry or exit points in the market
โ
Price Action
A regular bullish divergence happens when the price of an asset is forming lower lows, while the oscillator is forming higher lows.
A regular bearish divergence occurs when the price of an asset is forming higher highs, while the oscillator is forming lower highs
A hidden bullish divergence happens when the price of an asset is making higher lows during an uptrend, but the oscillator is making lower lows.
A hidden bearish divergence occurs when the price of an asset is making lower highs during a downtrend, but the oscillator is making higher highs.
"Lows" are signaled by a minimum value that is surrounded by higher low values.
"Highs" are signaled by a maximum value that is surrounded by lower high values.
Since there is no smoothing involved, there is only minimal lag.
โ
Statistical Model
When using linear regression to identify divergences between the price of an asset and an oscillator, we apply a statistical approach to find trends in the data. This method allows for a more nuanced detection of divergences, as it considers the overall direction of price points and oscillator values rather than individual highs and lows.
Regular Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the linear regression of the asset's price shows a downward trend while the linear regression of the oscillator indicates an upward trend.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Happens when the linear regression of the asset's price is upward but the linear regression of the oscillator is downward.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Identified when, during an uptrend, the linear regression of the price is upward, but the linear regression of the oscillator trends downward.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Occurs when, during a downtrend, the linear regression of the price trends downward, but the linear regression of the oscillator is upward.
Using linear regression smooths out fluctuations and focuses on the overall trend direction of both price and oscillator, reducing the impact of short-term volatility and providing a clearer view of the market's momentum.
โ
Adaptive Approach
Traditional oscillator settings do not account for changes in market volatility, leading to potential misalignment with current market conditions. This can result in either too many false signals during high volatility periods or missed opportunities in lower volatility settings due to the oscillator's static nature.
The adaptive approach adjusts the oscillator's settings based on the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility. By dynamically altering the oscillator length in relation to the current ATR value compared to its historical range, the settings become responsive to the market's volatility.
This adaptive method enhances the detection of meaningful divergences between price and oscillator movements by ensuring the oscillator is finely tuned to the current market environment. It results in a more accurate identification of potential reversal points, crucial for the success of divergence-based trading strategies.

โ MEAN REVERSION FILTERING SETTINGS
Mean Reversion Filtering Settings are designed to align trading strategies during accumulation market conditions. They set a distance from a line to permit trading. The purpose is to ensure that when the price strays too far from the mean line, it should revert back. In accumulation markets, price movements are generally horizontal. In such situations, mean reversion will operate like a grid, enabling profitable trades with low drawdown. However, when the market structure begins to trend, mean reversion filters may not be as profitable as in accumulation markets. For instance, let's say the price is rising and we are shorting the market until it reaches the mean price line. As the price goes up and the mean also rises, we will end up closing the position at a higher price, rendering the mean reversion system non-profitable. Therefore, consider this filter wisely; greater distances might work better in trending markets.
