EMASARPLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BUYING OR USING THIS INDICATOR
EMASAR (pronounced Emma-sar) is a strategy based on Exponential Moving Averages and the Parabolic SAR . This is a position trading approach that is derived from Tyler Jenks’ Consensio.
This strategy was developed with four objectives in mind: (1) managing risk (2) protecting from missing out on major moves (3) maximizing risk:reward (4) staying in a trending market and taking profit before it fully reverses.
EMASAR does a great job at accomplishing all of the above through the buy and sell signals that are generated. The data provided below is from the signals that occurred on Bitcoin (Bitstamp) from January 1, 2015 to present (November 11, 2019).
(1) Risk is tightly managed, relative to the winners, and losing positions will be exited before the market moves too far against.
The biggest losing trade on Bitcoin, for the time period outlined above, is -18.47%.
(2) Following the EMASAR buy and sell signals guarantees that one will not miss out on a major trend. As a result of the indicators used for this system it is mathematically impossible for a major trend to occur without providing a buy or sell signal. This system isn't meant to catch exact tops or bottoms but it will do a great job of capturing ~85% of a trend.
(3) On average the winning trades will be 5.55 times the losing trades. There will be stretches where the losers are bigger than the winners and this could last for many months, maybe even a year. However, over the long run the average reward is expected to be 5.55 times the average risk*.
*Past performance does not guarantee future results!
(4) This indicator was designed to capitalize on parabolic markets, specifically Bitcoin and alt coins. Crypto markets have a tendency to get moving so fast that many indicators become all but useless.
Entries can get signaled too late and exits will get signaled way too early. This is specifically true when using oscillators that are designed to identify overbought or oversold environments. EMASAR does a great job of keeping us in a position for the duration of a trend and this includes the major parabolic runs that Bitcoin has a tendency to go on.
Take a look at the two charts below which illustrates the buy and sell signals that occurred at the beginning and end of the 2017 and 2019 parabolic moves. Green = Buy | Blue = Exit | Red = Short
Long signaled at $4,190.27 on September 29th, 2017
Exit signaled at $13,647 on January 14th, 2018
Short signaled at $12,050 on January 16th, 2018
Close Short signaled at $3,684 on February 18th, 2019
Long signaled at $3,684 on February 18th, 2019
Exit signaled at $9,614 on July 16th, 2019
Short signaled at $10,328 on July 22nd, 2019
When Bitcoin, or other alts, really get moving it can be very difficult to distinguish between a correction and a full reversal. We do not want to be exiting during a minor correction, instead this is a time when we want to be holding on or looking to buy the dip.
This is a very fragile balance. The market has a very strong tendency to make corrections looks like reversals and to make reversals look like corrections. Therefore it is very important to have a tool(s) that you trust to distinguish in between the two.
I believe that EMASAR is the best way to find that balance - if I knew of a better way then I would be using it instead!
Following these signals will help us to hold onto positions while the market is still trending in our favor when most think that it has moved too far / too fast, and it will also get us out before a market fully reverses.
Keep in mind that there will be times when we exit a market that is in danger of reversing, only to buy back higher later on. That is okay because it enables us to properly manage risk during times of uncertainty and buying back in at a higher price is more than worth the opportunity cost.
Lets look at the signals above in chronological order:
1) Close Long: $2,274
2) Open Short: $2,347
3) Exit Short: $2,934
4) Open Long: $2,766
5) Close Long: $3,124
6) Enter Long: $4,190
A long was closed at $2,274 after Signal #1 and was re-entered after Signal #4 at $2,766. Additionally a long was closed at $3,124 after Signal #5 and was re-entered on the following signal at $4,190. These are examples of some of the bad signals that will occur. Something to pay attention to is the ratio of the risk to the reward. When the market turns against us EMASAR will quickly signal an exit or a re entry.
EMASAR also works great in traditional markets. The S&P 500 has been on a tear lately after creating new all time highs in October of 2019. It has resumed it's strong bull trend and therefore it is a great market to have long exposure to. That being said we are well overdue for a correction and most people, including myself, expect the next bear market to be much more severe than the last two. Therefore I would not want to have long exposure unless equipped with a very reliable method for taking profit before it fully reverses.
Let's take a look at the S&P 500 weekly EMASAR signals using the preferred settings outlined below:
In August of 1990 EMASAR signaled a 'Close Long' at $308. At that time the market was in danger of fully reversing. When that didn't happen EMASAR gave a signal to re enter at $369 which resulted in losing 19.8% in opportunity cost. That is quite okay because it would have allowed us to properly protect ourselves in the event that the market proceeded to crash. Instead we entered a massive bull market that culminated in the dot com bubble. Notice how EMASAR kept us in for the entire duration of that bull run and then signaled an exit very close to the top at $1,294. It got us back in by the end of 2004 after the market had bottomed. Yet again it kept us in for the following multi year bull market before signaling an exit very close to the top at $1,270.
The action that followed in 2016 looks very similar to what happened in 1990 - 1991. An exit was signaled when the market was in danger of fully reversing. When that didn't happen a re entry was signaled 14% higher. Now the market appears to be taking off in another parabolic advance. There is no way to know how far this next run will go or how long it will last. Nevertheless I feel highly confident that I will be able to hold on for the majority of the trend and then get fully out before it reverses thanks to the signals provided by EMASAR.
When looking at the signals on Gold we will notice striking similarities to the signals in the S&P 500 as well as Bitcoin.
Notice how an entry was signaled very close to the bottom at $323 in June of 2002. An exit was also signaled very close to the top at $1,441 in April of 2013. Throughout that runup there was one bad signal that cost some opportunity. It's very important to understand that missing out on opportunity is well worth the price because it allows us to effectively manage risk. EMASAR also recently provided a long signal at $1,401 which preceded this recent runup.
Settings
Default settings work best for crypto, however the time multiplier should be adjusted for markets that are not open 24/7. For commodities and FOREX my default is 40 and for stocks I use 24. The Moving Averages can be adjusted as well. The period can be changed and you can also select SMA or EMA. I always use the EMA's and strongly prefer the 50 and 200. We have noticed good results with the 9 and 54 EMA's as well. The shorter the period that the Moving Average is set to the more frequent the signals will be. This will generally improve risk:reward while decreasing strike rate. For crypto the best time frames are the 4h and 6h. For traditional markets the best time frames are the Daily, 3D and Weekly. EMASAR can be used on smaller time frames as well, specifically in crypto. The 15m and 1h have shown good results.
Risks
The biggest risks with trading EMASAR revolve around disobeying the signals. Risk management is built into this system with the exit signals that will occur, however it is up to the individual to execute those signals. Passing on an exit signal could lead to a big loss which would have a dramatic impact on the ROI. Most trading systems will have small and medium losses with small, medium and large wins. That is exactly how this works. The small - medium losses and wins will mostly be a wash and will account for roughly 80% of the trades. The large wins will happen about 20% of the time and will make up 80% - 90% of the profits.
Therefore the two biggest risks are passing on signals entirely, or exiting preemptively. Getting chopped in and out of a market can be quite frustrating. If you become overwhelmed with negative emotions then it could cause you to pass up on the next signal. That signal will often be the one that more than makes up for the small - medium losses that preceded.
On average EMASAR will provide one signal every 6 weeks when using the default settings on the 4h chart. Therefore missing one entry could turn an otherwise profitable year into a loser. If electing to trade a system, whether it is EMASAR or another, it is crucial to commit to taking every signal regardless of outside variables (namely your personal bias about market direction or frustration that follows a losing stretch).
Another major risk with this system is taking too much profit too soon. When getting into a trade that has the potential to be a big winner it can be challenging to continue holding through the swings. Anyone that has watched paper profits vanish will be inclined to start exiting after the market makes a big move in his or her favor. While this is better than watching profits completely evaporate, this mistake can be enough to turn a profitable system into one that loses to the market. If 80% - 90% of our profits come from 10% - 20% of our trades then it is vital we do not cut those positions off at the knees.
If taking too much profit too soon then you will consistently turn potential large winners into medium winners. This may lead to making money over the long run which will make it very difficult to realize that anything is wrong. However making money and beating the market are two very different things. Exiting early and making money is nearly as big of a risk as missing entries entirely.
If you have the discipline to execute signals in a timely manner after they are triggered and the emotional control to let the winners run despite the appearance of a vastly overbought / oversold market, then you should have what it takes to beat the market with EMASAR.
If you are not an experienced trader then it is very important to start out small. The only way to learn is to trade in a live environment and the only way to succeed is to risk much less than you can afford to lose. If you have $2,000 to trade with then start with a maximum position size of $20 - $50 and don’t be shy about scaling that down even further. Focus on ROI instead of actual dollars made. If you can return 100% on a $20 roll then you should be able to do the same with a $2,000 roll.
Important Notes
Make sure that you read / understand the risks outlined above. If you jump into this without understanding the unique risks that this system entails then you are going to have a bad time.
This indicator was developed around the 4h and that is where it works best. For crypto adjusting to higher TF’s will cause for bad results as the entries / exits will be late to the party. For traditional markets the Daily - Weekly time frames are preferred. It was not originally intended for smaller TF's but we have seen some good results on the 15m and 1h. The RSI can be a great compliment when using on smaller TF's. Adding a rule for not entering when RSI > 75 or < 25 and instead entering when RSI retests 50 will help to avoid some bad signals.
Alerts can be set for this indicator. Simply make sure that it is visible on the chart, then click the alert icon on the top panel. In the first dropdown set 'Condition' to 'EMASAR' and the second 'Condition' for the upcoming signal. For example if just entered long then set the second condition to 'Close Long' and you will be notified as soon as that signal occurs. If waiting for the next long entry then set the second condition to 'Open Long' so on and so forth. There is an 'All in One' alert that is also available. If you select that then you will be alerted any time that a signal occurs. The message will tell you to check the chart to see which signal caused the alert.

MSTY-WNTR Rebalancing SignalMSTY-WNTR Rebalancing Signal
## Overview
The **MSTY-WNTR Rebalancing Signal** is a custom TradingView indicator designed to help investors dynamically allocate between two YieldMax ETFs: **MSTY** (YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF) and **WNTR** (YieldMax Short MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF). These ETFs are tied to MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock, which is heavily influenced by Bitcoin's price due to MSTR's significant Bitcoin holdings.
MSTY benefits from upward movements in MSTR (and thus Bitcoin) through a covered call strategy that generates income but caps upside potential. WNTR, on the other hand, provides inverse exposure, profiting from MSTR declines but losing in rallies. This indicator uses Bitcoin's momentum and MSTR's relative strength to signal when to hold MSTY (bullish phases), WNTR (bearish phases), or stay neutral, aiming to optimize returns by switching allocations at key turning points.
Inspired by strategies discussed in crypto communities (e.g., X posts analyzing MSTR-linked ETFs), this indicator promotes an active rebalancing approach over a "set and forget" buy-and-hold strategy. In simulated backtests over the past 12 months (as of August 4, 2025), the optimized version has shown potential to outperform holding 100% MSTY or 100% WNTR alone, with an illustrative APY of ~125% vs. ~6% for MSTY and ~-15% for WNTR in one scenario.
**Important Disclaimer**: This is not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always consult a financial advisor. Trading involves risk, and you could lose money. The indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.
## Key Features
- **Momentum-Based Signals**: Uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) on Bitcoin's price to detect bullish (price > SMA) or bearish (price < SMA) trends.
- **RSI Confirmation**: Incorporates MSTR's Relative Strength Index (RSI) to filter signals, avoiding overbought conditions for MSTY and oversold for WNTR.
- **Visual Cues**:
- Green upward triangle for "Hold MSTY".
- Red downward triangle for "Hold WNTR".
- Yellow cross for "Switch" signals.
- Background color: Green for MSTY, red for WNTR.
- **Information Panel**: A table in the top-right corner displays real-time data: BTC Price, SMA value, MSTR RSI, and current Allocation (MSTY, WNTR, or Neutral).
- **Alerts**: Configurable alerts for holding MSTY, holding WNTR, or switching.
- **Optimized Parameters**: Defaults are tuned (SMA: 10 days, RSI: 15 periods, Overbought: 80, Oversold: 20) based on simulations to reduce whipsaws and capture trends effectively.
## How It Works
The indicator's logic is straightforward yet effective for volatile assets like Bitcoin and MSTR:
1. **Primary Trigger (Bitcoin Momentum)**:
- Calculate the SMA of Bitcoin's closing price (default: 10-day).
- Bullish: Current BTC price > SMA → Potential MSTY hold.
- Bearish: Current BTC price < SMA → Potential WNTR hold.
2. **Secondary Filter (MSTR RSI Confirmation)**:
- Compute RSI on MSTR stock (default: 15-period).
- For bullish signals: If RSI > Overbought (80), signal Neutral (avoid overextended rallies).
- For bearish signals: If RSI < Oversold (20), signal Neutral (avoid capitulation bottoms).
3. **Allocation Rules**:
- Hold 100% MSTY if bullish and not overbought.
- Hold 100% WNTR if bearish and not oversold.
- Neutral otherwise (e.g., during choppy or extreme markets) – consider holding cash or avoiding trades.
4. **Rebalancing**:
- Switch signals trigger when the hold changes (e.g., from MSTY to WNTR).
- Recommended frequency: Weekly reviews or on 5% BTC moves to minimize trading costs (aim for 4-6 trades/year).
This approach leverages Bitcoin's influence on MSTR while mitigating the risks of MSTY's covered call drag during downtrends and WNTR's losses in uptrends.
## Setup and Usage
1. **Chart Requirements**:
- Apply this indicator to a Bitcoin chart (e.g., BTCUSD on Binance or Coinbase, daily timeframe recommended).
- Ensure MSTR stock data is accessible (TradingView supports it natively).
2. **Adding to TradingView**:
- Open the Pine Editor.
- Paste the script code.
- Save and add to your chart.
- Customize inputs if needed (e.g., adjust SMA/RSI lengths for different timeframes).
3. **Interpretation**:
- **Green Background/Triangle**: Allocate 100% to MSTY – Bitcoin is in an uptrend, MSTR not overbought.
- **Red Background/Triangle**: Allocate 100% to WNTR – Bitcoin in downtrend, MSTR not oversold.
- **Yellow Switch Cross**: Rebalance your portfolio immediately.
- **Neutral (No Signal)**: Panel shows "Neutral" – Hold cash or previous position; reassess weekly.
- Monitor the panel for key metrics to validate signals manually.
4. **Backtesting and Strategy Integration**:
- Convert to a strategy script by changing `indicator()` to `strategy()` and adding entry/exit logic for automated testing.
- In simulations (e.g., using Python or TradingView's backtester), it has outperformed buy-and-hold in volatile markets by ~100-200% relative APY, but results vary.
- Factor in fees: ETF expense ratios (~0.99%), trading commissions (~$0.40/trade), and slippage.
5. **Risk Management**:
- Use with a diversified portfolio; never allocate more than you can afford to lose.
- Add stop-losses (e.g., 10% trailing) to protect against extreme moves.
- Rebalance sparingly to avoid over-trading in sideways markets.
- Dividends: Reinvest MSTY/WNTR payouts into the current hold for compounding.
## Performance Insights (Simulated as of August 4, 2025)
Based on synthetic backtests modeling the last 12 months:
- **Optimized Strategy APY**: ~125% (by timing switches effectively).
- **Hold 100% MSTY APY**: ~6% (gains from BTC rallies offset by downtrends).
- **Hold 100% WNTR APY**: ~-15% (losses in bull phases outweigh bear gains).
In one scenario with stronger volatility, the strategy achieved ~4533% APY vs. 10% for MSTY and -34% for WNTR, highlighting its potential in dynamic markets. However, these are illustrative; real results depend on actual BTC/MSTR movements. Test thoroughly on historical data.
## Limitations and Considerations
- **Data Dependency**: Relies on accurate BTC and MSTR data; delays or gaps can affect signals.
- **Market Risks**: Bitcoin's volatility can lead to false signals (whipsaws); the RSI filter helps but isn't perfect.
- **No Guarantees**: This indicator doesn't predict the future. MSTR's correlation to BTC may change (e.g., due to regulatory events).
- **Not for All Users**: Best for intermediate/advanced traders familiar with ETFs and crypto. Beginners should paper trade first.
- **Updates**: As of August 4, 2025, this is version 1.0. Future updates may include volume filters or EMA options.

FVG (Nephew sam remake)Hello i am making my own FVG script inspired by Nephew Sam as his fvg code is not open source. My goal is to replicate his Script and then add in alerts and more functions. Thus, i spent few days trying to code. There is bugs such as lower time frame not showing higher time frame FVG.
This script automatically detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — imbalances between demand and supply — across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour).
15m chart shows:
15m FVGs (green/red boxes)
1H FVGs (lime/maroon)
4H FVGs (faded green/red with borders) (Bugged For now i only see 1H appearing)
1H chart shows:
1H FVGs
4H FVGs
4H chart shows:
4H FVGs only
There is the function to auto close FVG when a future candle fully disrespected it.
You're welcome to:
🔧 Customize the appearance: adjust box colors, transparency, border style
🧪 Add alerts: e.g., when price enters or fills a gap
📅 Expand to Daily/Weekly: just copy the logic and plug in "D" or "W" as new layers
📈 Build confluence logic: combine this with order blocks, liquidity zones, or ICT concepts
🧠 Experiment with entry signals: e.g., candle confirmation on return to FVG
🚀 Improve performance: if you find a lighter way to track gaps, feel free to optimize!

How to Use the Script
1) Add the script to your chart.
2) Select the appropriate Daylight Savings Time format.
3) Customize the visual appearance to your preference.
4) Click "OK" to apply the changes.
Once configured, the VWAP levels will automatically adjust based on the predefined timeframes.
How the Script Works
The script calculates and plots anchored VWAPs at the predefined starting times listed above. As each session, week, month, and year progresses, the corresponding VWAP is recalculated and updated on the chart, providing traders with dynamic insights into market trends and volume-weighted price action.
Mswing HommaThe Mswing is a momentum oscillator that calculates the rate of price change over 20 and 50 periods (days/weeks). Apart from quantifying momentum, it can be used for assessing relative strength, sectoral rotation & entry/exit signals.
Quantifying Momentum Strength
The Mswing's relationship with its EMA (e.g., 5-period or 9-period) is used for momentum analysis:
• M Swing >0 and Above EMA: Momentum is positive and accelerating (ideal for entries).
• M Swing >0 and Below EMA: Momentum is positive but decelerating (caution).
• M Swing <0 and Above EMA: Momentum is negative but improving (watch for reversals).
• M Swing <0 and Below EMA: Momentum is negative and worsening (exit or avoid).
Relative Strength Scanning (M Score)
Sort stocks by their M Swing using TradingView’s Pine scanner.
Compare the Mswing scores of indices/sectors to allocate capital to stronger groups (e.g., renewables vs. traditional energy).
Stocks with strong Mswing scores tend to outperform during bullish phases, while weak ones collapse faster in downtrends.
Entry and Exit Signals
Entry: Buy when Mswing crosses above 0 + price breaks key moving averages (50-day SMA). Use Mswing >0 to confirm valid breakouts. Buy dips when Mswing holds above EMA during retracements.
Exit: Mswing can be used for exiting a stock in 2 ways:
• Sell in Strength: Mswing >4 (overbought).
• Sell in Weakness: Mswing <0 + price below 50-day SMA.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Daily: For swing trades.
• Weekly: For trend confirmation.
• Monthly: For long-term portfolio adjustments.
XAUMOvisionXAUMOvision: T he XAU/USD Composite Correlation Indicator with Weighted Spillover & Dynamic Lines
XAUMOvision is a custom-built trading indicator designed to track the intricate relationship between XAU/USD (Gold) and key economic factors: DXY (US Dollar Index), US Treasury Yields, S&P 500, and Crude Oil. By blending correlation metrics with weighted spillover effects, XAUMOvision offers actionable insights to refine your Gold trading strategy.
Core Features of XAUMOvision
1. Correlation (CC)
Definition: Measures how closely two assets move together over a given period.
Calculation: Pearson Correlation is used to assess Gold's relationship with:
DXY: Negative correlation—when DXY rises, Gold typically falls.
US Treasury Yields: Negative correlation—higher yields reduce Gold’s appeal.
S&P 500: Opposite movement, as Gold acts as a safe-haven.
Crude Oil: Positive correlation—both often rise during inflationary pressures.
2. Weighted Spillover
What It Does: Quantifies how movements in each asset (DXY, Yields, etc.) influence Gold.
Weighting: User-defined values (e.g., DXY weight = 0.4) scale each factor’s impact.
Result: A total spillover score reveals bullish or bearish sentiment for XAU/USD.
3. Composite Bias Line
Purpose: Consolidates spillover impacts into a single sentiment indicator.
Readings:
Strong Bullish: Composite Bias > 0.5.
Neutral: Close to 0.
Strong Bearish: Composite Bias < -0.5.
Output: A directional bias to guide your trading decisions.
4. Traffic Signal Line
Visual Cues:
Green: Strong Bullish Signal.
Red: Strong Bearish Signal.
Gray: Neutral—avoid trading.
Utility: A quick, color-coded overview of market conditions.
Using XAUMOvision Effectively
When to Use
During high volatility or major news events (e.g., CPI, interest rate decisions).
To understand macroeconomic forces driving Gold’s price action.
Recommended Timeframes
4-Hour: Ideal for swing traders seeking medium-term setups.
Daily: Perfect for macro trend analysis.
Weekly: Suitable for long-term investors aligning with broader trends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Practical Example
Monday, January 13, 2025 (Neutral Market)
Market Behavior: Gold stagnated (-0.96%), with low volume (681.13K).
Indicator Insights:
Composite Spillover: -0.92 (mild bearish pressure).
Traffic Signal Line: Gray—stay out of the market.
Bias Line: Weak Bearish (-1), signaling no strong trend.
Result: XAUMOvision kept traders from entering a choppy, low-volume market.
Wednesday, January 15, 2025 (CPI-Driven Rally)
CPI Release: Core CPI softer than expected (0.2% vs. 0.3%), weakening the DXY and Yields. Gold surged.
Indicator Insights:
Composite Spillover: +0.57 (strong bullish sentiment).
Traffic Signal Line: Green—clear buy signal.
Bias Line: Strong Bullish (+2), confirming the trend.
Result: Traders aligned with institutional flows and profited from the CPI-driven rally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why XAUMOvision Stands Out
Avoids Bad Trades: Neutral signals and low-volume days keep you sidelined during indecisive markets.
Pinpoints Big Moves: Green signals during high-impact events help you capitalize on major trends.
Volume Validation: Confirms institutional activity to distinguish real trends from fakeouts.
Conclusion: Trade Like a Pro
XAUMOvision blends macroeconomic analysis with real-time technical indicators, ensuring you stay ahead of market moves. Whether navigating neutral markets or CPI-driven surges, this tool provides clarity and confidence in your trading decisions. For swing traders and macro enthusiasts, XAUMOvision is the ultimate weapon in Gold trading.

* Placed at significant price levels
Volume Analysis Components
Volume Calculation
- Rolling baseline volume calculated based on timeframe:
* Monthly: 6-period sum
* Weekly: 12-period sum
* Daily: 20-period sum
* Intraday: Proportional to timeframe
- Net volume = Bullish volume - Bearish volume
- Volume percentage calculated against baseline
- High volume threshold = 2.5 standard deviations
- Pattern volume threshold = 1.5x 20MA
Exchange Aggregation
- Primary symbol (chart) always included
- Optional secondary symbol data
- Combines volume data for stronger signals
- Useful for crypto markets with split liquidity
Success Rate Implementation
Rate Calculation
- Based on user-defined lookback period
- Separately tracked for each pattern type
- Bullish patterns: Percentage of times price moved higher
- Bearish patterns: Percentage of times price moved lower
- Used to filter alerts with minimum threshold
Pattern Storage
- Arrays maintain historical pattern data
- Limited to lookback period size
- Oldest patterns removed as new ones form
- Constantly updated success rates

Outside Bars (OB):
Identifies candles where the current range exceeds the previous candle’s range.
Indicates potential reversals or trap setups.
Holy-Cow Pattern (HC):
Inspired by: Trap + Consolidation Setup
An Outside Bar followed by an Inside Bar.
Highlights volatility followed by tight consolidation, often preceding a breakout.
Nova Pattern (NV):
Inspired by: Breakout Trap + Expansion
An Inside Bar followed by an Outside Bar.
Signals breakout traps and subsequent volatility, useful for reversals or momentum moves.
Red-Nova Pattern (RN):
Inspired by: Volatility Trap + Major Breakout Zone
A combination of Holy-Cow (HC) and Nova (NV) patterns.
Represents a highly compressed market state, often leading to significant, high-intensity moves.

[ETNX] BTC CME OI L/SOVERVIEW
This indicator displays how many traders have Long and Short positions opened on CME Bitcoin Futures and Options. The data is provided from the CFTC Commitments of Traders Reports. These reports are given weekly. Therefore, this indicator works better on weekly timeframes.
The COT reports are separated into 5 categories:
Dealer/Intermediary - These participants are typically described as the “sell side” of the market. Though they may not predominately sell futures, they design and sell various financial assets to clients. They tend to have matched books or offset their risk across markets and clients. Futures contracts are part of the pricing and balancing of risk associated with the products they sell and their activities. These include large banks (U.S. and non-U.S.) and dealers in securities, swaps, and other derivatives.
Asset Manager/Institutional - These are institutional investors, including pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, mutual funds, and portfolio/investment managers whose clients are predominantly institutional.
Leveraged Funds - These are typically hedge funds and various types of money managers, including registered commodity trading advisors (CTAs); registered commodity pool operators (CPOs), or unregistered funds identified by CFTC. The strategies may involve taking outright positions or arbitrage within and across markets. The traders may be engaged in managing and conducting proprietary futures trading and trading on behalf of speculative clients.
Other Reportables - Reportable traders not placed into one of the first three categories are placed into the “other reportables” category. The traders in this category mostly use markets to hedge business risk, whether that risk is related to foreign exchange, equities, or interest rates. This category includes corporate treasuries, central banks, smaller banks, mortgage originators, credit unions and any other reportable traders not assigned to the other three categories.
Non Reportable
INPUT DISPLAY
The Open Interest can be displayed in three ways:
Contracts - How many contracts are opened on CME
BTC - How many BTC the contracts worth
Billions USD - How much is worth in USD based on the CME BTC Price
The Open Interest is calculated for:
Futures - The Futures Short and Long Positions Opened
Futures & Options - The Futures & Options Short and Long Positions Opened
[ETNX] BTC CME TradersOVERVIEW
This indicator displays how many traders have Long and Short positions opened on CME Bitcoin Futures and Options. The short traders have negative values only for display purposes. Therefore, if the short value is displayed as -56, that means that there are 56 traders that have short positions opened. The total of traders is the sum of short and long traders. The data is provided from the CFTC Commitments of Traders Reports. These reports are given weekly. Therefore, this indicator works better on weekly timeframes.

IMPORTANT
The SPREADS are excluded. “Spreading” is a computed amount equal to offsetting long and short positions held by a trader. The computed amount of spreading is calculated as the amount of offsetting futures in different calendar months or offsetting futures and options in the same or different calendar months. Any residual long or short position is reported in the long or short column. Inter-market spreads are not considered.
INPUT INCLUDE Non-Reportable
This ratio excludes by default the Non-Reportable category. If this input is enabled, the ratio between Longs and Shorts should flatten.
INPUT DISPLAY
The Open Interest can be displayed in three ways:
Futures - The Futures Short and Long Positions Opened
Options - The Options Short and Long Positions Opened
Futures & Options - The Futures & Options Short and Long Positions Opened

DB ZEMAThe DB ZEMA indicator is a no repaint indicator that is designed to local trends and local tops/bottoms. Since the indicator does not repaint, decisions can be made upon bar/period OPEN.
That means, when the indicator turns red indicating a market top is finished, then a decision can be made to close at the OPEN of that period. Likewise, when the indicator turns green, a decision can be made to buy at OPEN or during the current bar.
Additionally, traders may use the ZEMA level to get insight on the strength of the asset. For example, when the ZEMA is below -50 that would indicate a major low or weakness is present. ZEMAs under a certain threshold can indicate very good investment long entry points. Alternatively, zooming the chart out to view a long range of periods can show a pattern of common low ZEMA levels can be used as a baseline for good entry points. The same holds true for existing a long or entering a short.
Using a combination of the ZEMA color and the ZEMA level it's can be easy to tell smart entry and exist points. Especially on the weekly or higher timeframes.
For traders wanting real time data, there is a setting to disable the no-repaint mode to display the current real time ZEMA value. Traders may also adjust the length. By default the length of 10 is provided which is excellent for Weekly. We recommend a length of less than 10 for even high timeframes. For example a length of 2 is excellent on 4 Month timeframe for looking at market cycles, etc.
Finally the indicator offers the ability to change the symbol. This can be helpful in crypto in comparing the chart asset again BTC or similar.
Enjoy!
LIZ-ATR-Based EMA EnvelopesThis envelope has an "auto band adjustment function" that reflects the most recent volatility in the band width by ATR.
This makes it easy to handle without the need to change the band width according to the volatility of the stocks to be displayed.
The time periods and colors of each time frame that can be displayed and the central band of the envelope are as follows.
Monthly: 2-year line (light blue)
Weekly: 3-month line (black)
Daily: 1 month line (blue)
4-hourly: 1-week line (green)
1 hour: 24 hour line (purple)
30-minute: 12-hour line (light purple)
15-minute: 4-hour line (orange)
5min:2hr (skin color)
1 minute: 30 minute line (gray-blue)
30 seconds: 10 minute line (blue-purple)
15-seconds: 7.5-minute line (sky blue)
10-seconds: 5-minute line (brown)
5-seconds: 2-minute line (emerald green)
Depending on where the price resides in the band, the following situations can be identified
・When inside the first band: Trendless
・Between the first and second band: Normal trend
・Between the 2nd and 3rd band: Strong trend
・When the third line is exceeded: Overheat condition
The first range is painted in gray and encourages not to follow the trend. In addition, the "up" sign will automatically light up when the price is above this gray zone, the "middle" sign when the price is in the middle of the gray zone, and the "down" sign when the price is below the gray zone.
このエンベロープは直近のボラティリティーをATRによってバンド幅に反映させる、「オートバンド調整機能」を搭載しています。

## What are vector candles?
Vector Candles (inspired to add from TradersReality/MT4) are candles that are colour coded to indicate higher volumes, and likely flip points / direction changes, or confirmations.
These are based off of PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis).
You can also override the currency that this runs off of, including multiple ones - however adding more may slow things down.
PVSRA - From MT4 source:
Situation "Climax"
Bars with volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs, and bars
where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the highest for the 10 previous
chart time TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are green and bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"
Bars with volume >= 150% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are blue and bear are blue-violet.
A blue or purple bar can mean the chart has reached a top or bottom.
High volume bars during a movement can indicate a big movement is coming - or a top/bottom if bulls/bears are unable to break that point - or the volume direction has flipped.
This can also just be a healthy short term movement in the opposite direction - but at times sets obvious trend shifts.
## Volume Tracking
You can shift-click any candle to get the volume of that candle (in the pair token/stock), if you click and drag - you will see the volume for that range.
## Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands can be enabled in the settings via the toggle.
Bollinger Bands are designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold (bottom lines) or overbought (top lines).
>There are three lines that compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average (middle band) and an upper and lower band.
>The upper and lower bands are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average, but they can be modified.

Base Indicator
## What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, which measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following:
- current high - the current low;
- the absolute value of the current high - the previous close;
- and the absolute value of the current low - the previous close.
The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 10/14 days, of the true ranges.
## What does this indicator do?
Uses the ATR and multipliers to help you predict price volatility, ranges and trend direction.
> The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts
plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
> It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
> A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it will be less effective in a sideways-moving market.
Thanks to KivancOzbilgic who made the original SuperTrend Indicator this was based off

## Usage Notes
Two indicators will appear, the default ATR multipliers are already set for what I believe to be perfect for this particular (double indicator) strategy.
If you want to break it yourself (I couldn't find anything that tested more accurately myself), you can do so in the settings once you have added the indicator.
Basic rundown:
- A single Buy/Sell indicator in the dim colour; may be setting a direction change, or just healthy movement.
- When the brighter Buy/Sell indicator appears; it often means that a change in direction (uptrend or downtrend) is confirmed.
---
You can see here, there was a (brighter) green indicator which flipped down then up into a (brighter) red sell indicator which set the downtrend. At the end it looks like it may be starting to break the downtrend - as the price is hitting the trend line. (Would watch for whether it holds above or drops below at that point)
Another example, showing how sometimes it can still be correct but take some time to play out - with some arrow indicators.
Typically I would also look at oscillators, RSI and other things to confirm - but here it held above the trend lines nicely, so it appeared to be rather obvious.
It's worth paying attention to the trend lines and where the candles are sitting.
Once you understand/get a feel for the basics of how it works - it can become a very useful tool in your trading arsenal.
Also works for traditional markets & commodities etc in the same way / using the same ATR multipliers, however of course crypto generally has bigger moves.
---
You can use this and other indicators to confirm likeliness of a direction change prior to the brighter/confirmation one appearing - but just going by the 2nd(brighter) indicators, I have found it to be surprisingly accurate.
Tends to work well on virtually all timeframes, but personally prefer to use it on 5min,15min,1hr, 4hr, daily, weekly. Will still work for shorter/other timeframes, but may be more accurate on mid ones.
---
This will likely be updated as I go / find useful additions that don't convolute things. The base indicator may be updated with some limited / toggle-able features in future also.
SSS50 StatusSSS50 Status Box with Auto Chart Levels and Labels
I made this indicator due to receiving a lot of messages on how to use my other SSS50% indicators. This indicator helps you learn and understand the Sara Strat Snipers 50 Percent Rule. Remember this indicator does not tell you when to buy or sell this is a guide on the setup ONLY.
You Must Use Rob Smith's The Strat Principles and Remember we need TIME in our favour. Ideally we want to see setups go In-Force early on during the candles lifespan (Timeframe).
Using the indicator logic, the SSS50% Rule has FOUR Conditions:
1. SSS50 INVALID = No Trade = The Candle is currently an Inside Bar OR a Green 2UP OR a Red 2DOWN.
2. SSS50 STANDBY = Failed 2* = The Candle is currently a Failed 2UP (Red 2UP) OR a Failed 2DOWN (Green 2DOWN).
3. SSS50 ACTIVE = Outside Bar Possible = The Candle is currently a Failed 2 and has crossed over the Previous Candles 50% level.
4. SSS50 COMPLETE = Outside Bar Complete = The Candle is now an Outside Bar.
How to Use this Indicator?
Add Indicator to your chart and open up the Indicator's Settings.
1. Select Indicators Timeframe.
- Chart = SSS50% rules will be applied to whichever timeframe chart you open.
- Single Timeframe = SSS50% rules will be only applied to one fixed timeframe when viewing on other timeframe charts. For Example: if you select Weekly. The Indicator's Status and Levels/Labels will only be displayed on your chart if the Weekly Candle has a SSS50 Standby, Active or Complete condition.
2. Select Status Box On/Off. If ON - Select View Type.
- Normal View = Detailed View with Price Targets.
- Compact View = Condensed View to reduce chart clutter.
3. Select AUTO or MANUAL Chart Levels/Labels. Select ONE type only or leave both off for no level/label display.
- AUTO = When an SSS50 STANDBY, ACTIVE or COMPLETE Condition occurs the related High, Low and 50% Levels will be displayed.
- MANUAL = When AUTO is OFF, MANUAL will display High, Low and 50% Levels always regardless of SSS50 Conditions.
4. Select AUTO Features.
- Display High/Low and/or 50% Price Labels when using AUTO Chart Mode.
4.1 Select AUTO Colors if required. Default to Traffic Light System.
- INVALID = Red
- STANDBY = Orange
- ACTIVE or COMPLETE = GREEN
5. Select MANUAL Features if AUTO Chart Mode is OFF.
- Display High/Low and/or 50% Price Labels when using MANUAL Chart Mode.
5.1 Select MANUAL Colors if required.
6. Additional Features. Title OR Timeframe available is Normal View. Title AND Timeframe BOTH available in Compact View.
- Show SSS50 Title next to Status Box.
- Show the indicators selected Timeframe next to Status Box. Timeframe will be displayed next to Status Box Only when ONE Individual Timeframe is selected.
7. Color Settings.
- Match your chart's current Background Color to this color.
8. Additional Settings
- Customise Label Offset Locations, Line Types and Line Types.
- Any issues let me know.
- Note I removed the price tags (used in my previous SSS50 indicators) from the right of the line to avoid clutter. Now you can see the current price move through the High, Low and 50% level lines.
- No alerts setup within script, just manually click the plus sign on each level if you wish to add alerts.
Natenberg's VolatilityThis indicator is historical volatility indicator created by Sheldon Natenberg , as the standard deviation of the logarithmic price changes measured at regular intervals of time.
In Mr. Natenberg's book, Option Volatility & Pricing, he covers volatility in detail and gives the formula for computing historical volatility.
My changes :
I didn't changed formula, i just added smooth version of volatility it can be used as trigger when cross(over/under) non-smoothed volatility.
Note:
There is two formulas for daily and weekly. Indicator showing only daily formula !

20 SMA based Bull/Bear sentiment indicatorThis script is only doing one thing, plots the 20 SMA and based on whether the asset's price is above or below of the SMA it changes the color of the SMA and the background's color.
Helping it to visualize whether from the 20 SMA's point of view we are in a Bull or a Bear trend.
I created this because I myself use this SMA with Bitcoin on the weekly time frame to identify the macro trend on the weekly.
IMO this is a good crypto market sentiment indicator.
Bitcoin Bull Runs Mid Cycle Aligned This script plots 2 lines which are the 2013 and 2016 bull run. The plots are aligned on their mid cycles to the 2021 mid cycle.
Settings:
You can move the plots on the x and y axis in the settings for the Daily, Weekly and Monthly TFs.
The plot is weird on the Monthly TF, best to use the Daily and Weekly.
If it doesn't load at first you have to zoom out fully and go back to 2013 for it to load. Then it will load.
Anti-Volume Stop LossFINALLY!
As everyone who tried to create, understand, or even find the Buff Pelz Dormeier Anti-volume stop-loss indicator knows that - it's not easy. Personally, I have partially, or perhaps completely figured out, the tips Buff had given in Investing with Volume Analysis book.
AVSL now is ready.
Please do some test and give me a feedback how it works in your trade strategy.
Anti-Volume stop loss - AVSL
from Investing with Volume Analysis book CHAPTER 20 • RISKY BUSINESS 253-256:
"It is important in any risk-management process to predetermine an objective decision point level (a stop loss) to exit, thereby protecting principal in case you are wrong. My objective sell point is determined by using a quantitative formula I refer to as Anti-Volume Stop Loss (AVSL). Having a quantitative, yet intelligent sell point eliminates the emotional struggles involved in deciding when to exit a position.
AVSL is a technical methodology that incorporates the concepts of support, volatility, and, most importantly, the inverse relationship between price and volume. The AVSL combines the concepts of the VPCI (Volume Price Confirmation Indicator) and John Bollinger’s Bollinger Bands to create a trailing stop loss.
AVSL = Lower Bollinger Band – (Price, Length, Standard Deviation)
Where:
Length = Round (3 + VPCI)
Price = Average (Lows × 1 / VPC × 1 / VPR, Length)
Standard Deviation = 2 × (VPCI × VM)
One of the most difficult decisions is determining what one’s maximum loss threshold should be. Some say 2 percent; others say 20 percent. I believe the more volatile a security, the looser the stop should be. A nonvolatile security, such as Coca-Cola, might move 7 percent a year, while a volatile security such as Google might move 7 percent in a day. If you use a 7 percent stop for Coca-Cola, it might take a year to be stopped out while the security underperforms.
However, if you use 7 percent for Google, you can be stopped out intraday, not allowing the investment an opportunity to develop. By using the lower Bollinger Band of the securities lows, the AVSL considers each individual security’s own volatility. Thus, a volatile security would be granted more room of the stocks low while a stable security would have a tighter leash (see Figure 20.7).
The next important step is employing the price-volume relationship into the calculation. Volume gauges the power behind price moves. In accounting for this, when a security is in an uptrend and has positive volume characteristics, it is given more room. However, if the security exhibits contracting volume characteristics, then the stop is tightened. In this way, if a negative news event affects an unhealthy security, the stop is tighter, thus preserving more of your profits.
However, if the negative news event affects a security whose price-volume relationship is healthy, the stop has been loosened, avoiding the temporary whipsaw of an otherwise strong position. In these ways, AVSL lets the market decide when to exit your position.
AVSL tailors each security for support, volatility, and the pricevolume relationship based on an investor’s time frame as calculated from the chart data. For example, my portfolio positions are continually re-evaluated with this AVSL methodology, which yields the possibility of raising the decision point threshold periodically based on the time frame of my investment objective. With my short-term Giddy-up portfolios, I use daily chart data and seek to raise my maximum loss stop on a daily basis.
My intermediate ETF and stock positions are calculated off of weekly data and then re-evaluated weekly. With my longer term stock portfolios, the decision point is calculated off data revised monthly. This analytical approach that uses measurable facts over emotion or gut instincts allows me to maintain my objectivity. Thus objectivity, not emotion, informs my investment decisions."
How look mine AVSL:
Price component = low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR : for VPC > 1 and VPC < -1 | low × 1 × 1/VPR : for 1 > VPC > 0 | low × -1 × 1/VPR : for 0 > VPC > -1
AVSL Price = sma((low × 1/VPC × 1/VPR) , length) / 100
length = round : for VPCI > 0 | round [ absolute ] : for VPCI < 0 | 3 : for VPCI=0
Standard Deviation = mult × VPCI × VM)
AVSL = sma(Actual low price - AWSL Price + Standard Deviation, 26)
It's hard to say is it the same as in Buff Pelz Dormeier book, but I encourage you to modify the script for better results.
[co.n.g] LeathermanThis is a modest approach of assembling my most favorite strategies into a single indicator script!
I extended the functionality of the ART to the maximum in this piece of price action and volume analysis.
The original "Average Range Targets" - though by default turned off t due to heavily re-scaling the chart -
and the previous day's high and low.
What I've added:
high and low of the actual week
high and low of the previous week
open of the day
close of the previous day
VWAP of the daily session - adjustable to any length
VWAP of the weekly session
opening range / inital balance of the session -fixed to 15 Minutes
I've decluttered the chart as good as possible.
KNOWN BUGS:
Sometimes the plotting is incorrect due to rescaling or zooming in and out of the chart.
How to use - a quick price action guide:
The breakout of the open range is often indicating the trend of the day, a false breakout is often seen as a reversal sign.
A price below the VWAP is seen as cheap, a price above as expensive. In contrary to others, I personally prefer to see a rising price on a rising VWAP ;
additionally, I like bounces off or spikes and reversals through the VWAP , either the daily or the weekly.
The highs and lows of the days and weeks are seen as support and resistance . Trade preferably long above and short below those levels.
The ADR is an indication not working perfectly, especially with stocks.
!!! WARNING !!!
Don't rely solely on a single script nor a single indicator!
Always consider the price action, the trend, the overall market and especially the volume.
There is no "Get-Rich-Quick"-scheme, learn to read the chart and trade accordingly.
Enjoy and make money!
Yours,
Constantine
