Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW A smart volume-powered tool for identifying key support and resistance zones—enhanced with real-time volume histogram fills and high-volume markers. Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels detects structural levels from swing highs and lows, and wraps them in dynamic histograms that reflect the relative volume strength around those zones. It highlights the strongest price levels not just by structure—but by the weight of market participation. 🔵 CONCEPTS Price Zones: Support and resistance levels are drawn from recent price pivots, while volume is used to visually enhance these zones with filled histograms and highlight moments of peak activity using markers. Histogram Fill = Activity Zone: The width and intensity of each filled zone adjusts to recent volume bursts. High-Volume Alerts: Circle markers highlight moments of volume dominance directly on the levels—revealing pressure points of support/resistance. Clean Visual Encoding: Red = resistance zones, green = support zones, orange = high-volume bars. 🔵 FEATURES Detects pivot-based resistance (highs) and support (lows) using a customizable range length. Wraps these levels in volume-weighted bands that expand/contract based on percentile volume. Color fill intensity increases with rising volume pressure, creating a live histogram feel. When volume > user-defined threshold , the indicator adds circle markers at the top and bottom of that price level zone. Bar coloring highlights the candles that generated this high-volume behavior (orange by default). Adjustable settings for all thresholds and colors, so traders can dial in volume sensitivity. 🔵 HOW TO USE Identify volume-confirmed resistance and support zones for potential reversal or breakout setups. Focus on levels with intense histogram fill and circle markers —they indicate strong participation. Use bar coloring to track when key activity started and align it with broader market context. Works well in combination with order blocks, trend indicators, or liquidity zones. Ideal for day traders, scalpers, and volume-sensitive setups. 🔵 CONCLUSION Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels elevates traditional support and resistance logic by anchoring it in volume context. Instead of relying solely on price action, it gives traders insight into where real conviction lies—by mapping how aggressively the market defended or rejected key levels. It's a visual, reactive, and volume-conscious upgrade to your structural toolkit.

reversalthis is a simple ema indicator. i specifically set my fast ema to 4 and my slow ema to 13. i only turn on signals after 9;30 am and wait for the ema cross signal to fire once a swing point has been sweeped. i follow the daily. If the daily high has been sweep the previous day and or closed then we are taking highs therefor bullish bias. vice versa for sells. if bullish then only take bullish 4/13 ema cross.THIS CROSS IS MY SIGNAL THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL CHANGE OF ORDERFLOW, YOU MUST VERIFY THAT THERE IS INDEED A BREAKER BLOCK BEFORE ENTERING. i dont actually just follow a simple ema cross. it means something.

MACD Triple divergence signalsThis script is a basic combination of several scripts that I found very useful. It's a MACD divergence on steroids. Instead of using only one plot as a source for detecting divergence, I use all of the plots. The idea is that if more divergence signals appear—especially after a prolonged downtrend or uptrend—they can be interpreted as a strong divergence signal. The third divergence signal is taken from the MACD signal line. It has a longer-term lookback range, which could provide a more reliable divergence signal. The default minimum lookback range is 15, much greater than the usual value of 5. This makes it more suitable for long-term trading or for lower timeframes (lower than 4H) to reduce noise from excessive signals. For timeframes higher than 4H, the setting can be reduced to around 10 or even 5. For the 1W (weekly) timeframe, try using a value of 3. I also added a band to give a clear visual of overbought and oversold areas. It works similarly to Bollinger Bands (BB). You can spot when the price is ranging or when a stop-loss hunt occurs (i.e., the price breaks the band). Please do your homework—backtest it yourself to find which timeframe suits you best. You can also tweak the settings if you find the default values too aggressive or too mild. I’ve found that MACD is more reliable on timeframes greater than 1H. Personally, I use it on the 4H and 1D timeframes. in bahasa: MACD dengan 3 sinyal divergence, kalau muncul lebih banyak, bisa jadi sinyal lebih menyakinkan. Minimum lookback range default-nya 15 agar tidak muncul terlalu banyak sinyal. 15 lebih panjang, lebih ok. Kalau main di higher timeframe seperti 1D, bisa 5-10, kalau weeky timeframe = 3. Untuk band, cek ketika plot-nya keluar dari band, itu bisa jadi jackpot, apalagi kalau plot-nya membentuk double bottom. Backtest sendiri, siapa tahu kalian bisa dapet setting sendiri. MACD with upper and lower band will give you a clear visual of price movements More divergence signals are generated and when the price breaks out of the oversold band = jackpot.

Dynamic Volatility Channel (DVC) - Smooth The indicator's adaptability comes from a unique blend of well-known concepts: The Adaptive Engine (ADX): The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) in the background to analyze the strength of the trend. This acts as the "brain", telling the channel whether the market is trending strongly or moving sideways. Hybrid Volatility: This is the core of the indicator. The width of the channel is determined by a weighted mix of two volatility measures: In trending markets (high ADX), the channel gives more weight to the Average True Range (ATR). In ranging markets (low ADX), the channel gives more weight to Standard Deviation. Smooth Centerline (HMA): The channel is centered around a Hull Moving Average (HMA), which is known for its smoothness and reduced lag compared to other moving averages. Advanced Smoothing Layers: This version includes dedicated smoothing for both the volatility components (ATR and StDev) and the logic that switches between regimes. This ensures the channel expands, contracts, and adapts in a very fluid manner, eliminating sudden jumps and reducing market noise. Mean Reversion: In ranging markets (indicated by a flatter channel), the outer bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Look for opportunities to sell near the upper band and buy near the lower band, always waiting for price action confirmation like reversal candles. Trend Following: In strong trends (indicated by a steeply sloped channel), the centerline (HMA) often serves as a dynamic level of support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend). Pullbacks to the centerline can present opportunities to join the trend. A "band ride," where price action consistently pushes against the upper or lower band, signals a very strong trend. Volatility Analysis: A "squeeze," where the bands come very close together, indicates low volatility and can foreshadow a significant price breakout. A sudden expansion of the bands signals an increase in volatility and the potential start of a new, powerful move. All core parameters are fully customizable to suit your trading style and preferred assets: You can adjust the lengths for the HMA, ATR, StDev, and the ADX filter. You can change the multipliers for the ATR and Standard Deviation components. Crucially, you can control the Volatility Smoothing Length and Logic Smoothing Length to find the perfect balance between responsiveness and smoothness. Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It is not financial advice, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always conduct your own research and backtesting before risking capital in a live market.

Volume Overbought/Oversold Zones📊 What You’ll See on the Chart Red Background or Red Triangle ABOVE a Candle 🔺 Means: Overbought Volume → Volume on that bar is much higher than average (as defined by your settings). → Suggests strong activity, possible exhaustion in the trend or an emotional spike. → It’s a warning: consider watching for signs of reversal, especially if price is already stretched. Green Background or Green Triangle BELOW a Candle 🔻 Means: Oversold Volume → Volume on that bar is much lower than normal. → Suggests the market may be losing momentum, or few sellers are left. → Could signal an upcoming reversal or recovery if confirmed by price action. Orange Line Below the Candles (Volume Moving Average) 📈 Shows the "normal" average volume over the last X candles (default is 20). → Helps you visually compare each bar’s volume to the average. Gray Columns (Actual Volume Bars) 📊 These are your regular volume bars — they rise and fall based on how active each candle is. 🔍 What This Indicator Does (In Simple Words) This indicator looks at trading volume—which is how many shares/contracts were traded in a given period—and compares it to what's considered "normal" for recent history. When volume is unusually high or low, it highlights those moments on the chart. It tells you: • When volume is much higher than normal → market might be overheated or experiencing a buying/selling frenzy. • When volume is much lower than normal → market might be quiet, potentially indicating lack of interest or indecision. These conditions are marked visually, so you can instantly spot them. 💡 How It Helps You As a Trader 1. Spotting Exhaustion in Trends (Overbought Signals) If a market is going up and suddenly volume spikes way above normal, it may mean: • The move is getting crowded (lots of buyers are already in). • A reversal or pullback could be near because smart money may be taking profits. Trading idea: Wait for high-volume up bars, then look for price weakness to consider a short or exit. 2. Identifying Hidden Opportunities (Oversold Signals) If price is falling but volume drops unusually low, it might mean: • Panic is fading. • Sellers are losing energy. • A bounce or trend reversal could happen soon. Trading idea: After a volume drop in a downtrend, watch for bullish price patterns or momentum shifts to consider a buy. 3. Confirming or Doubting Breakouts Volume is critical for confirming breakouts: • If price breaks a key level with strong volume, it's more likely to continue. • A breakout without volume could be a fake-out. This indicator highlights volume surges that can help you confirm such moves. 📈 How to Use It in Practice • Combine it with candlestick patterns, support/resistance, or momentum indicators. • Use the background colors or shapes as a visual cue to pause and analyze. • Adjust the sensitivity to suit fast-moving markets (like crypto) or slow ones (like large-cap stocks).

VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite) Version 1.2 Overview This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders, designed to identify high-probability areas of support and resistance. It plots the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a central "value" line and then draws statistically-based deviation channels around it. Its unique feature is a dynamic probability engine that analyzes thousands of historical price bars to calculate and display the real-time likelihood of the price touching each of these deviation levels. This provides a quantifiable edge for making trading decisions. Core Concepts Explained This indicator is built on three key concepts: The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The dotted midline of the channels is the session VWAP. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA) which only considers price, the VWAP incorporates volume into its calculation. This makes it a much more significant benchmark, as it represents the true average price where the most business has been transacted during the day. It's heavily used by institutional traders, which is why price often reacts strongly to it. Standard Deviation Channels: The channels above and below the VWAP are based on standard deviations. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility. - Wide Bands: When the channels are wide, it signifies high volatility. - Narrow Bands: When the channels are tight and narrow, it signifies low volatility and consolidation (a "squeeze"). The Conditional Probability Engine: This is the heart of the indicator. For every deviation level, the script displays a percentage. This percentage answers a very specific question: "Based on thousands of previous bars, when the last candle had a certain momentum (bullish or bearish), what was the historical probability that the price would touch this specific level?" The probabilities are calculated separately depending on whether the previous candle was green (bullish) or red (bearish). This provides a nuanced, momentum-based edge. The level with the highest probability is highlighted, acting as a "price magnet." How to Use This Indicator Recommended Timeframes: This indicator is designed specifically for intraday trading. It works best on timeframes like the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute charts. It will not display correctly on daily or higher timeframes. Recommended Trading Strategy: Mean Reversion The primary strategy for this indicator is "Mean Reversion." The core idea is that as the price stretches to extreme levels far away from the VWAP (the "mean"), it is statistically more likely to "snap back" toward it. Here is a step-by-step guide to trading this setup: 1. Identify the Extreme: Wait for the price to push into one of the outer deviation bands (e.g., the -2, -3, or -4 bands for a buy setup, or the +2, +3, or +4 bands for a sell setup). 2. Look for the High-Probability Zone: Pay close attention to the highlighted probability label. This is the level that has historically acted as the strongest magnet for price. A touch of this level represents a high-probability area for a potential reversal. 3. Wait for Confirmation: Do not enter a trade just because the price has touched a band. Wait for a confirmation candle that shows momentum is shifting. - For a Buy: Look for a strong bullish candle (e.g., a green engulfing candle or a hammer/pin bar) to form at the lower bands. - For a Sell: Look for a strong bearish candle (e.g., a red engulfing candle or a shooting star) to form at the upper bands. Define Your Exit: - Take Profit: A logical primary target for a mean reversion trade is the VWAP (midLine). - Stop Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just outside the next deviation band. For example, if you enter a long trade at the -3 band, your stop loss could be placed just below the -4 band. Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be considered a standalone trading system. Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and sound risk management practices.

Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit ThresholdsBollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds Author of enhancements: chuckaschultz Inspired and adapted from the original 'Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator' by LuxAlgo Overview Pairs nicely with Contrarian 100 MA The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds is a powerful momentum-based indicator designed to help traders identify potential entry and exit points in trending or breakout markets. By leveraging Bollinger Bands, this indicator quantifies price deviations from the bands to generate bullish and bearish momentum signals, displayed as an oscillator. It includes customizable entry and exit signals based on user-defined thresholds, with visual cues plotted either on the oscillator panel or directly on the price chart. This indicator is ideal for traders looking to capture breakout opportunities or confirm trend strength, with flexible settings to adapt to various markets and trading styles. How It Works The Bollinger Bands Entry/Exit Thresholds calculates two key metrics: Bullish Momentum (Bull): Measures the extent to which the price exceeds the upper Bollinger Band, expressed as a percentage (0–100). Bearish Momentum (Bear): Measures the extent to which the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, also expressed as a percentage (0–100). The indicator generates: Long Entry Signals: Triggered when the bearish momentum (bear) crosses below a user-defined Long Threshold (default: 40). This suggests weakening bearish pressure, potentially indicating a reversal or breakout to the upside. Exit Signals: Triggered when the bullish momentum (bull) crosses below a user-defined Sell Threshold (default: 80), indicating a potential reduction in bullish momentum and a signal to exit long positions. Signals are visualized as tiny colored dots: Long Entry: Blue dots, plotted either at the bottom of the oscillator or below the price bar (depending on user settings). Exit Signal: White dots, plotted either at the top of the oscillator or above the price bar. Calculation Methodology Bollinger Bands: A user-defined Length (default: 14) is used to calculate an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the source price (default: close). Standard deviation is computed over the same length, multiplied by a user-defined Multiplier (default: 1.0). Upper Band = EMA + (Standard Deviation × Multiplier) Lower Band = EMA - (Standard Deviation × Multiplier) Bull and Bear Momentum: For each bar in the lookback period (length), the indicator calculates: Bullish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price above the upper band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the upper band, scaled to a 0–100 range. Bearish Momentum: The sum of positive deviations of the price below the lower band, normalized by the total absolute deviation from the lower band, scaled to a 0–100 range. Formula: bull = (sum of max(price - upper, 0) / sum of abs(price - upper)) * 100 bear = (sum of max(lower - price, 0) / sum of abs(lower - price)) * 100 Signal Generation: Long Entry: Triggered when bear crosses below the Long Threshold. Exit: Triggered when bull crosses below the Sell Threshold. Settings Length: Lookback period for EMA and standard deviation (default: 14). Multiplier: Multiplier for standard deviation to adjust Bollinger Band width (default: 1.0). Source: Input price data (default: close). Long Threshold: Bearish momentum level below which a long entry signal is generated (default: 40). Sell Threshold: Bullish momentum level below which an exit signal is generated (default: 80). Plot Signals on Main Chart: Option to display entry/exit signals on the price chart instead of the oscillator panel (default: false). Style: Bullish Color: Color for bullish momentum plot (default: #f23645). Bearish Color: Color for bearish momentum plot (default: #089981). Visual Features Bull and Bear Plots: Displayed as colored lines with gradient fills for visual clarity. Midline: Horizontal line at 50 for reference. Threshold Lines: Dashed green line for Long Threshold and dashed red line for Sell Threshold. Signal Dots: Long Entry: Tiny blue dots (below price bar or at oscillator bottom). Exit: Tiny white dots (above price bar or at oscillator top). How to Use Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart. Adjust Settings: Customize the Length, Multiplier, Long Threshold, and Sell Threshold to suit your trading strategy. Interpret Signals: Enter a long position when a blue dot appears, indicating bearish momentum dropping below the Long Threshold. Exit the long position when a white dot appears, indicating bullish momentum dropping below the Sell Threshold. Toggle Plot Location: Enable Plot Signals on Main Chart to display signals on the price chart for easier integration with price action analysis. Combine with Other Tools: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) to confirm signals. Notes This indicator is inspired by LuxAlgo’s Bollinger Bands Breakout Oscillator but has been enhanced with customizable entry/exit thresholds and signal plotting options. Best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to filter false signals, especially in choppy or range-bound markets. Adjust the Multiplier to make the Bollinger Bands wider or narrower, affecting the sensitivity of the momentum calculations.

Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength. Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength) Buy Signal: Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action. RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum. Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest. Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction. Sell Signal (Short): Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly. RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum. Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest. Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.

Rainbow Price Chart This indicator is a technical and on-chain analysis tool for Bitcoin, designed to help investors better understand the different phases of the market cycle and underlying sentiment. It directly overlays on the price chart (overlay=true). Indicator Name: "Rainbow Price Chart & V/T Ratio Signals" General Purpose: It combines two popular methodologies for visualizing Bitcoin's value and sentiment: the classic "Rainbow Price Chart" and signals derived from the "Value per Transaction Ratio" (V/T Ratio) based on blockchain data. It is ideal for long-term investors looking for strategic entry/exit points. Main Components: Rainbow Price Chart: Concept: Divides Bitcoin's price range into different market "sentiment zones" (e.g., "Bubble Zone," "FOMO Zone," "HODL Zone," "Accumulation Zone," "Buy Zone," "Fire Sale Zone") using colored bands. These bands are calculated as ascending and descending multiples of a base Exponential Moving Average (EMA), configurable by default to 200 periods. Visualization: The zones are represented with transparent color fills on the price chart. A detailed legend in the top right corner of the chart explains the meaning of each color and sentiment zone. Important Note: This type of chart is designed to be viewed and analyzed correctly on a logarithmic price scale. The indicator includes a visual reminder to activate this scale. Value per Transaction (V/T) Ratio Signals: Concept: Measures the average value per transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain by dividing the total transacted volume in USD by the number of transactions. This ratio is smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average (by default, 7 periods) and is framed within a dynamic Linear Regression Channel (LRC) based on standard deviation. Signal Generation: Based on the position of the smoothed V/T Ratio within this LRC channel, the indicator generates signals directly on the price chart, such as: "BOTTOM": Low price, V/T Ratio in the lower band of the LRC. "SEMI-LOW" / "SEMI-HIGH": Intermediate phases within the channel. "ATH" (All-Time High): Potentially overvalued price, V/T Ratio in the upper band of the LRC. On-Chain Data: The indicator requests external daily on-chain data for total transacted volume (TVTVR) and number of transactions (NTRAN) from the Bitcoin blockchain. Diagnostic Panes: Includes plots of the raw on-chain data (volume and number of transactions) in a separate pane, which are useful for debugging or verifying the data source. The lines for the V/T Ratio itself and its LRC channel are not plotted by default but can be activated in the code for deeper analysis. Ideal for: Bitcoin investors and "hodlers" who desire a visual tool that combines price-based market cycle context with fundamental signals derived from on-chain activity, to help identify key moments for accumulation or potential distribution. Considerations: Relies on the availability of external on-chain data (QUANDL:BCHAIN) within TradingView. Functions best on a daily timeframe.

Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview The Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) measures price momentum relative to current volatility conditions, creating a normalized indicator that identifies significant directional moves while filtering out market noise. It divides annualized momentum by annualized volatility to produce scores that remain comparable across different market environments and asset classes. The indicator displays a smoothed VAMS Z-Score line with adaptive standard deviation bands and an information table showing real-time metrics. This dual-purpose design enables traders and investors to identify strong trend continuation signals when momentum persistently exceeds normal levels, while also spotting potential mean reversion opportunities when readings reach statistical extremes. 🟢 How It Works The indicator calculates annualized momentum using a simple moving average of logarithmic returns over a specified period, then measures annualized volatility through the standard deviation of those same returns over a longer timeframe. The raw VAMS score divides momentum by volatility, creating a risk-adjusted measure where high volatility reduces scores and low volatility amplifies them. This raw VAMS value undergoes Z-Score normalization using rolling statistical parameters, converting absolute readings into standardized deviations that show how current conditions compare to recent history. The normalized Z-Score receives exponential moving average smoothing to create the final VAMS line, reducing false signals while preserving sensitivity to meaningful momentum changes. The visualization includes dynamically calculated standard deviation bands that adjust to recent VAMS behavior, creating statistical reference zones. The information table provides real-time numerical values for VAMS Z-Score, underlying momentum percentages, and current volatility readings with trend indicators. 🟢 How to Use 1. VAMS Z-Score Bands and Signal Interpretation Above Mean Line: Momentum exceeds historical averages adjusted for volatility, indicating bullish conditions suitable for trend following Below Mean Line: Momentum falls below statistical norms, suggesting bearish conditions or downward pressure Mean Line Crossovers: Primary transition signals between bullish and bearish momentum regimes 1 Standard Deviation Breaks: Strong momentum conditions indicating statistically significant directional moves worth following 2 Standard Deviation Extremes: Rare momentum readings that often signal either powerful breakouts or exhaustion points 2. Information Table and Market Context Z-Score Values: Current VAMS reading displayed in standard deviations (σ), showing how far momentum deviates from its statistical norm Momentum Percentage: Underlying annualized momentum displayed as percentage return, quantifying the directional strength Volatility Context: Current annualized volatility levels help interpret whether VAMS readings occur in high or low volatility environments Trend Indicators: Directional arrows and change values provide immediate feedback on momentum shifts and market transitions 3. Strategy Applications and Alert System Trend Following: Use sustained readings beyond the mean line and 1σ band penetrations for directional trades, especially when VAMS maintains position in upper or lower statistical zones Mean Reversion: Focus on 2σ extreme readings for contrarian opportunities, particularly effective in sideways markets where momentum tends to revert to statistical norms Alert Notifications: Built-in alerts for mean crossovers (regime changes), 1σ breaks (strong signals), and 2σ touches (extreme conditions) help monitor multiple instruments for both continuation and reversal setups

Breakout Strategy with Dynamic SL LabelDescription: This script identifies breakout trading opportunities using adaptive support and resistance levels, adjusted dynamically based on market volatility. A trade signal is generated only when a breakout candle is followed by a confirming close in the same direction. The signal is displayed on the chart as a labeled marker that includes a suggested stop-loss level based on the highest high or lowest low of the past 10 bars, ensuring structure-aware risk management. 🧩 How it Works: Adaptive S/R Zones: Based on volatility-normalized swing highs/lows using ATR. These zones automatically adjust to changing market conditions. Confirmation Logic: Trade signals only appear after the second candle confirms the breakout, helping reduce false signals. Single Signal Rule: Only one buy or sell label is printed per breakout level, avoiding repeated triggers. Embedded Stop Loss in Label: SL value is calculated from the 10-bar high (for shorts) or low (for longs) and included in the signal label. ⚙️ User Inputs Explained: Base Swing Strength: Controls the pivot sensitivity; higher values detect stronger reversal points. Line Duration: Number of bars that horizontal S/R levels remain visible. ATR Period: Length used to calculate volatility for adaptive S/R logic. Volatility Sensitivity: Adjusts how responsive the S/R zone strength is to volatility. Higher = more responsive. Stop-Loss Lookback (Bars): Defines the number of candles to reference when calculating SL from high/low structure. Max Lines Stored: Controls chart clutter by limiting how many S/R zones are kept active. 🟩 Ideal for: Breakout traders who value clean structure, confirmation, and built-in risk logic. Scalpers and swing traders looking for adaptive, low-latency signals without repainting. Chartists who want minimal indicators but maximum signal clarity.

Uptrick: Fusion Trend Reversion SystemOverview The Uptrick: Fusion Trend Reversion System is a multi-layered indicator designed to identify potential price reversals during intraday movement while keeping traders informed of the dominant short-term trend. It blends a composite fair value model with deviation logic and a refined momentum filter using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This tool was created with scalpers and short-term traders in mind and is especially effective on lower timeframes such as 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute charts where price dislocations and quick momentum shifts are frequent. Introduction This indicator is built around the fusion of two classic concepts in technical trading: identifying trend direction and spotting potential reversion points. These are often handled separately, but this system merges them into one process. It starts by computing a fair value price using five moving averages, each with its own mathematical structure and strengths. These include the exponential moving average (EMA), which gives more weight to recent data; the simple moving average (SMA), which gives equal weight to all periods; the weighted moving average (WMA), which progressively increases weight with recency; the Arnaud Legoux moving average (ALMA), known for smoothing without lag; and the volume-weighted average price (VWAP), which factors in volume at each price level. All five are averaged into a single value — the raw fusion line. This fusion acts as a dynamically balanced centerline that adapts to price conditions with both smoothing and responsiveness. Two additional exponential moving averages are applied to the raw fusion line. One is slower, giving a stable trend reference, and the other is faster, used to define momentum and cloud behavior. These two lines — the fusion slow and fusion fast — form the backbone of trend and signal logic. Purpose This system is meant for traders who want to trade reversals without losing sight of the underlying directional bias. Many reversal indicators fail because they act too early or signal too frequently in choppy markets. This script filters out noise through two conditions: price deviation and RSI confirmation. Reversion trades are considered only when the price moves a significant distance from fair value and RSI suggests a legitimate shift in momentum. That filtering process gives the trader a cleaner, higher-quality signal and reduces false entries. The indicator also visually supports the trader through colored bars, up/down labels, and a filled cloud between the fast and slow fusion lines. These features make the market context immediately visible: whether the trend is up or down, whether a reversal just occurred, and whether price is currently in a high-risk reversion zone. Originality and Uniqueness What makes this script different from most reversal systems is the way it combines layers of logic — not just to detect signals, but to qualify and structure them. Rather than relying on a single MA or a raw RSI level, it uses a five-MA fusion to create a baseline fair value that incorporates speed, stability, and volume-awareness. On top of that, the system introduces a dual-smoothing mechanism. It doesn’t just smooth price once — it creates two layers: one to follow the general trend and another to track faster deviations. This structure lets the script distinguish between continuation moves and possible turning points more effectively than a single-line or single-metric system. It also uses RSI in a more refined way. Instead of just checking if RSI is overbought or oversold, the script smooths RSI and requires directional confirmation. Beyond that, it includes signal memory. Once a signal is generated, a new one will not appear unless the RSI becomes even more extreme and curls back again. This memory-based gating reduces signal clutter and prevents repetition, a rare feature in similar scripts. Why these indicators were merged Each moving average in the fusion serves a specific role. EMA reacts quickly to recent price changes and is often favored in fast-trading strategies. SMA acts as a long-term filter and smooths erratic behavior. WMA blends responsiveness with smoothing in a more balanced way. ALMA focuses on minimizing lag without losing detail, which is helpful in fast markets. VWAP anchors price to real trade volume, giving a sense of where actual positioning is happening. By combining all five, the script creates a fair value model that doesn’t lean too heavily on one logic type. This fusion is then smoothed into two separate EMAs: one slower (trend layer), one faster (signal layer). The difference between these forms the basis of the trend cloud, which can be toggled on or off visually. RSI is then used to confirm whether price is reversing with enough force to warrant a trade. The RSI is calculated over a 14-period window and smoothed with a 7-period EMA. The reason for smoothing RSI is to cut down on noise and avoid reacting to short, insignificant spikes. A signal is only considered if price is stretched away from the trend line and the smoothed RSI is in a reversal state — below 30 and rising for bullish setups, above 70 and falling for bearish ones. Calculations The script follows this structure: Calculate EMA, SMA, WMA, ALMA, and VWAP using the same base length Average the five values to form the raw fusion line Smooth the raw fusion line with an EMA using sens1 to create the fusion slow line Smooth the raw fusion line with another EMA using sens2 to create the fusion fast line If fusion slow is rising and price is above it, trend is bullish If fusion slow is falling and price is below it, trend is bearish Calculate RSI over 14 periods Smooth RSI using a 7-period EMA Determine deviation as the absolute difference between current price and fusion slow A raw signal is flagged if deviation exceeds the threshold A raw signal is flagged if RSI EMA is under 30 and rising (bullish setup) A raw signal is flagged if RSI EMA is over 70 and falling (bearish setup) A final signal is confirmed for a bullish setup if RSI EMA is lower than the last bullish signal’s RSI A final signal is confirmed for a bearish setup if RSI EMA is higher than the last bearish signal’s RSI Reset the bullish RSI memory if RSI EMA rises above 30 Reset the bearish RSI memory if RSI EMA falls below 70 Store last signal direction and use it for optional bar coloring Draw the trend cloud between fusion fast and fusion slow using fill() Show signal labels only if showSignals is enabled Bar and candle colors reflect either trend slope or last signal direction depending on mode selected How it works Once the script is loaded, it builds a fusion line by averaging five different types of moving averages. That line is smoothed twice into a fast and slow version. These two fusion lines form the structure for identifying trend direction and signal areas. Trend bias is defined by the slope of the slow line. If the slow line is rising and price is above it, the market is considered bullish. If the slow line is falling and price is below it, it’s considered bearish. Meanwhile, the script monitors how far price has moved from that slow line. If price is stretched beyond a certain distance (set by the threshold), and RSI confirms that momentum is reversing, a raw reversion signal is created. But the script only allows that signal to show if RSI has moved further into oversold or overbought territory than it did at the last signal. This blocks repetitive, weak entries. The memory is cleared only if RSI exits the zone — above 30 for bullish, below 70 for bearish. Once a signal is accepted, a label is drawn. If the signal toggle is off, no label will be shown regardless of conditions. Bar colors are controlled separately — you can color them based on trend slope or last signal, depending on your selected mode. Inputs You can adjust the following settings: MA Length: Sets the period for all moving averages used in the fusion. Show Reversion Signals: Turns on the plotting of “Up” and “Down” labels when a reversal is confirmed. Bar Coloring: Enables or disables colored bars based on trend or signal direction. Show Trend Cloud: Fills the space between the fusion fast and slow lines to reflect trend bias. Bar Color Mode: Lets you choose whether bars follow trend logic or last signal direction. Sens 1: Smoothing speed for the slow fusion line — higher values = slower trend. Sens 2: Smoothing speed for the fast line — lower values = faster signal response. Deviation Threshold: Minimum distance price must move from fair value to trigger a signal check. Features This indicator offers: A composite fair value model using five moving average types. Dual smoothing system with user-defined sensitivity. Slope-based trend definition tied to price position. Deviation-triggered signal logic filtered by RSI reversal. RSI memory system that blocks repetitive signals and resets only when RSI exits overbought or oversold zones. Real-time tracking of the last signal’s direction for optional bar coloring. Up/Down labels at signal points, visible only when enabled. Optional trend cloud between fusion layers, visualizing current market bias. Full user control over smoothing, threshold, color modes, and visibility. Conclusion The Fusion Trend-Reversion System is a tool for short-term traders looking to fade price extremes without ignoring trend bias. It calculates fair value using five diverse moving averages, smooths this into two dynamic layers, and applies strict reversal logic based on RSI deviation and momentum strength. Signals are triggered only when price is stretched and momentum confirms it with increasingly strong behavior. This combination makes the tool suitable for scalping, intraday entries, and fast market environments where precision matters.

Contrarian with 5 Levels5 Levels application was inspired and adapted from Predictive Ranges indicator developed by Lux Algo. So much credit to their work. Indicator Description: Contrarian with 5 Levels Overview The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market by combining contrarian trading principles with dynamic support and resistance levels. This indicator overlays a Simple Moving Average (SMA) shadow and five adaptive price levels, integrating Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT) such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to provide clear buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on overextended price movements, particularly on the daily timeframe, though it is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing. How It Works The indicator operates on two core components: Contrarian SMA Shadow: A shaded region between the SMA of highs and lows (default length: 100) acts as a dynamic zone to identify overbought or oversold conditions. When the price moves significantly outside this shadow, it signals potential exhaustion, aligning with contrarian trading principles. Five Adaptive Levels: Using a modified ATR-based calculation, the indicator plots five key levels (two resistance, one average, and two support) that adjust dynamically to market volatility. These levels serve as critical zones for potential reversals. ICT Structure Analysis: The indicator incorporates BOS and MSS logic to detect shifts in market structure, plotting bullish and bearish breaks with customizable colors for clarity. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price crosses key levels while outside the SMA shadow, indicating potential reversal opportunities. The signals are visualized as small circles above (sell) or below (buy) the price bars, making them easy to interpret. Mathematical Concepts SMA Shadow: The indicator calculates the SMA of the highest highs and lowest lows over a user-defined period (default: 100). This creates a dynamic range that highlights extreme price movements, which contrarian traders often target for reversals. Five Levels Calculation: The five levels are derived using a volatility-adjusted formula based on the Average True Range (ATR). The average level (central pivot) is calculated as a smoothed price, with two upper (resistance) and two lower (support) levels offset by a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 6.0). This adaptive approach ensures the levels remain relevant across varying market conditions. ICT BOS/MSS Logic: The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows on a user-defined timeframe (default: daily) to detect structural breaks. A BOS occurs when the price breaks a prior pivot high (bullish) or low (bearish), while an MSS signals a shift in market direction, providing context for potential reversals. Entry and Exit Rules Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price is below both the SMA shadow (smaLow) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses under either the first or second support level (prS1 or prS2). This suggests the market may be oversold, indicating a potential reversal upward. Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price is above both the SMA shadow (smaHigh) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses over either the first or second resistance level (prR1 or prR2). This suggests the market may be overbought, indicating a potential reversal downward. Recommended Usage This indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it has been designed to capture significant reversal opportunities in trending or ranging markets. However, it can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with proper testing of settings such as SMA length, ATR multiplier, and structure timeframe. Users are encouraged to backtest and optimize parameters to suit their trading style and asset class. Customization Options SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100) to control the sensitivity of the shadow. Five Levels Length and Multiplier: Modify the length (default: 200) and ATR multiplier (default: 6.0) to fine-tune the support/resistance levels. Timeframe Settings: Set separate timeframes for structure analysis and five levels to align with your trading strategy. Color and Signal Display: Customize colors for BOS/MSS lines and toggle buy/sell signals on or off for a cleaner chart. Why Use This Indicator? The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator combines the power of contrarian trading with dynamic levels and market structure analysis, offering a unique perspective for identifying high-probability reversal setups. Its intuitive design, customizable settings, and clear signal visualization make it suitable for both novice and experienced traders. Whether you're trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies, this indicator provides a robust framework for spotting potential turning points in the market. We hope you find the "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator a valuable addition to your trading toolkit! Happy trading! Please leave feedback in the comments section.
