IU Market Rhythm WaveDESCRIPTION: The IU Market Rhythm Wave is a multi-dimensional indicator designed to reveal the underlying rhythm and energy of the market. By analyzing price momentum, harmonic oscillations, volume behavior, and market breadth, it helps traders identify high-quality long and short wave signals. It also visualizes rhythm bands, wave strength zones, and harmonic levels to provide comprehensive context for decision-making. This tool is best used on trending instruments where rhythm cycles and volume patterns create clear wave-based opportunities. USER INPUTS: Rhythm Cycle Length Controls the main lookback period used to calculate price waves, harmonic oscillation, volume rhythm, and breath. A longer cycle smooths signals, while a shorter cycle makes them more responsive. Recommended range: 8 to 35. Wave Signal Strength Multiplies the standard deviation of rhythm to define dynamic breakout thresholds. A higher value results in fewer but stronger signals, filtering out minor fluctuations. Harmonic Filter Applies a sensitivity filter to the harmonic mean and standard deviation. It helps eliminate weak or noisy signals and ensures rhythm-based signals align with harmonic structure. Show Wave Energy Zones Toggles background color shading based on current rhythm conditions. Greenish zones indicate strong upward rhythm, red for strong downward rhythm, yellow for positive bias, and gray for weak or neutral zones. Show Rhythm Bands Enables the display of upper and lower rhythm bands derived from ATR and rhythm volatility. These bands act as dynamic price envelopes and potential support/resistance zones. Wave Zone Opacity Adjusts the transparency of background energy zones, allowing users to control how prominent these zones appear on the chart. Range: 60 to 90 for optimal visibility. INDICATOR LOGIC: The indicator combines multiple rhythmic components into a composite rhythm score: 1. Price Wave – Based on momentum (rate of price change) smoothed by a moving average. 2. Harmonic Oscillation – Measures how far price has deviated from a central harmonic average (HLC3). 3. Volume Rhythm – Uses volume’s deviation from its mean, standardized by its volatility. 4. Market Breath – Captures range expansion and closing strength relative to range. These elements form the Raw Rhythm, which is further smoothed to produce the Market Rhythm. When the rhythm exceeds statistically calculated thresholds and other conditions like volume confirmation and harmonic proximity are met, wave signals are triggered. Harmonic Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 0.764) are also calculated every rhythm cycle to identify nearby structural price zones. Signals occurring near these levels are considered more reliable. The Rhythm Bands use ATR and rhythm strength to define dynamic boundaries above and below price. Visual zones and arrows mark rhythm shifts and highlight the underlying energy of the market. WHY IT IS UNIQUE: This indicator goes beyond traditional oscillators or volume indicators by blending multiple market dimensions into one rhythmic framework. It adapts to volatility, applies harmonic structure awareness, and filters signals based on real-time market conditions. It offers: * A unique rhythm-based view of price, volume, and volatility * Dynamic, adaptive signal generation and zone coloring * Visual analytics and contextual data in a summary table * Signal filtering using harmonic alignment and market breath Its real-time responsiveness and multi-layered logic make it suitable for intraday, swing, and positional traders. HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT: * Spot high-conviction long or short entries when rhythm, volume, and structure align * Avoid low-quality trades during weak or noisy rhythm periods * Use visual wave zones to gauge trend strength and rhythm direction * Monitor harmonic proximity to enter or exit near key structural levels * Apply rhythm bands for dynamic stop-loss and target setting * Use rhythm direction arrows and analytics table to gain deeper market insight DISCLAIMER: This indicator is created for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. All trading involves risk, and users should conduct their own analysis or consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

Adaptive Quadratic Kernel EnvelopeThis study draws a fair-value curve from a quadratic-weighted (Nadaraya-Watson) regression. Alpha sets how sharply weights decay inside the look-back window, so you trade lag against smoothness with one slider. Band half-width is ATRslow times a bounded fast/slow ATR ratio, giving an instant response to regime shifts without overshooting on spikes. Work in log space when an instrument grows exponentially, equal percentage moves then map to equal vertical steps. NearBase and FarBase define a progression of adaptive thresholds, useful for sizing exits or calibrating mean-reversion logic. Non-repaint mode keeps one-bar delay for clean back-tests, predictive mode shows the zero-lag curve for live decisions. Key points - Quadratic weights cut phase error versus Gaussian or SMA-based envelopes. - Dual-ATR scaling updates width on the next bar, no residual lag. - Log option preserves envelope symmetry across multi-decade data. - Alpha provides direct control of curvature versus noise. - Built-in alerts trigger on the first adaptive threshold, ready for automation. Typical uses Trend bias from the slope of the curve. Entry timing when price pierces an inner threshold and momentum stalls. Breakout confirmation when closes hold beyond outer thresholds while volatility expands. Stops and targets anchored to chosen thresholds, automatically matching current noise.

Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders. How It Works Custom Moving Averages (MAs): The indicator uses two moving averages: Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods). Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods). Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA. Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA. Time-Based Signals: The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market. Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times. MACD Confirmation: A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals. Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line. Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line. Target Levels: Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument. While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal. Adaptability to Any Market: Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more. Visual Alerts: Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points. Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels. Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment. Purpose The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets. How to Use Setup: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences. Select the instrument for predefined target settings or customize them to fit the asset you’re trading (e.g., EUR/USD or other forex pairs). Interpreting Signals: Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active. Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active. Adapt for Any Instrument: Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset. For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets. Targets: Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility. Visual Aids: Pay attention to the background color: Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session. Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session. Use the "BUY" and "SELL" labels for actionable insights. This indicator is a flexible and powerful tool, suitable for traders across all markets. Its adaptability ensures that it can enhance your strategy, whether you’re trading forex, commodities, indices, or other assets. By offering actionable alerts and customizable settings, the "Trend Trader" serves as a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. FX:EURUSD

Dynamic Flow Ribbons [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW A dynamic multi-band trend visualization system that adapts to market volatility and reveals trend momentum with layered ribbon channels. Dynamic Flow Ribbons transforms price action into flowing trend bands that expand and contract with volatility. It not only shows the active directional bias but also visualizes how strong or weak the trend is through layered ribbons, making it easier to assess trend quality and structure. 🔵 CONCEPTS Uses an adaptive trend detection system built on a volatility envelope derived from an EMA of the average price (HLC3). Measures volatility using a long-period average of the high-low range, which scales the envelope width dynamically. Trend direction flips when the average price crosses above or below these envelopes. Ribbons form around the trend line to show how far price is stretching or compressing relative to the mean. 🔵 FEATURES Volatility-Based Trend Line: A thick, color-coded line tracks the current trend with smoother transitions between phases. Multi-Layered Flow Ribbons: Up to 10 bands (5 above and 5 below) radiate outward from the upper and lower envelopes, reflecting volatility strength and direction. Trend Coloring & Transitions: Ribbons and candles are dynamically colored based on trend direction— green for bullish , orange for bearish . Transparency fades with distance from the core trend band. Real-Time Responsiveness: Ribbon structure and trend shifts update in real time, adapting instantly to fast market changes. 🔵 HOW TO USE Use the color and thickness of the core trend line to follow directional bias. When ribbons widen symmetrically, it signals strong trend momentum . Narrowing or overlapping ribbons can suggest consolidation or transition zones . Combine with breakout systems or volume tools to confirm impulsive or corrective phases . Adjust the “Length” (factor) input to tune sensitivity—higher values smooth trends more. 🔵 CONCLUSION Dynamic Flow Ribbons offers a sleek and insightful view into trend strength and structure. By visualizing volatility expansion with directional flow, it becomes a powerful overlay for momentum traders, swing strategists, and trend followers who want to stay ahead of evolving market flows

BackToBasic XEMAบทความอธิบายสคริปต์ “BackToBasic XEMA” ภาษาไทย แนวคิดโดยย่อ BackToBasic XEMA เกิดจากแนวคิด “กลับสู่พื้นฐานแต่เพิ่มประโยชน์” โดยใช้สัญญาณ EMA Crossover เป็นแกนหลัก แล้วต่อยอดด้วยการแสดงกำไร/ขาดทุนจริง (PnL) และเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอน เพื่อช่วยวัดประสิทธิภาพและป้องกันการคืนกำไร กลไกการทำงาน Dual EMA – คำนวณ EMA สองเส้น (Fast และ Slow) Crossover Signal – ออกสัญญาณ Buy เมื่อ Fast ตัดขึ้น Slow และ Sell เมื่อ Fast ตัดลง Slow PnL Lines & Labels – เมื่อทิศทางกลับตัว ระบบจะคำนวณส่วนต่างราคา × จำนวน Contracts แล้ววาดเส้นเชื่อมจุดเข้า–ออก พร้อมป้ายกำไร/ขาดทุนสีเขียว / แดง Horizontal Trailing Stop – เมื่อราคาวิ่งไปทางกำไรเกิน trailStartPips ระบบจะสร้างเส้น Trail ห่างจาก EMA อ้างอิงด้วย trailBufferPips และเลื่อนเฉพาะในทางที่ล็อกกำไร การตั้งค่าใช้งาน (สรุปเป็นคำอธิบาย) ปรับค่า Fast/Slow EMA ให้สัมพันธ์กับกรอบเวลาและความผันผวนของสินทรัพย์ กรอกจำนวน Contracts ตามขนาดโพซิชันจริงเพื่อให้ค่า PnL สมจริง ค่า Trail เริ่มต้นเหมาะกับกราฟ 1 ชั่วโมงขึ้นไป หากเทรดสั้นอาจลด trailStartPips และ trailBufferPips แนะนำใช้กับสินทรัพย์สภาพคล่องสูง (คู่เงินหลัก, XAUUSD, ดัชนี) และทดสอบบนบัญชีเดโมก่อนเสมอ จุดเด่นเมื่อเทียบกับ EMA Crossover พื้นฐาน เห็นผลกำไร/ขาดทุนของแต่ละการเทรดทันที ไม่ต้องคำนวณย้อนหลัง มีเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอนช่วยล็อกกำไรและจำกัดขาดทุน เปิด–ปิดฟังก์ชัน PnL และ Trailing ได้จากหน้าตั้งค่า ไม่ยุ่งยาก ข้อจำกัดและคำเตือน ไม่เหมาะกับกราฟแบบ Heikin Ashi หรือ Renko เพราะอาจเกิด repaint PnL คำนวณจากส่วนต่างราคาเท่านั้น ไม่รวมค่าคอมมิชชันหรือสลิปเพจ ผลลัพธ์ในอดีตไม่รับประกันอนาคต ควรจัดการความเสี่ยงและทดลองก่อนใช้งานจริง ลิขสิทธิ์ สคริปต์นี้พัฒนาใหม่ทั้งหมดโดย , © 2025 English Concept BackToBasic XEMA extends a classic EMA-crossover setup with real-time profit-and-loss tracking and a horizontal trailing-stop line, giving traders both clear entry/exit signals and built-in risk management. How It Works Dual EMAs – Calculates Fast and Slow EMAs. Crossover Signals – Generates a Buy when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, and a Sell when it crosses below. PnL Lines & Labels – On every direction flip the script computes price difference × contracts, draws a line from entry to exit, and labels the result in green (profit) or red (loss). Horizontal Trailing Stop – After price moves in profit by at least trailStartPips, a trail line is placed trailBufferPips away from the chosen EMA and moves only in the trade’s favour. Practical Settings (plain-language guide) Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths to suit your timeframe and the instrument’s volatility. Enter your position size in Contracts so PnL lines reflect real cash values. For shorter timeframes, lower trailStartPips and trailBufferPips; for swing trading, larger values work better. Best used on 1-hour-and-above charts of liquid symbols (major FX pairs, gold, indices). Forward-test on demo first. Advantages over a Basic EMA Cross Instant visual feedback on each trade’s profit or loss. Built-in horizontal trailing stop to lock in gains and limit downside. Modular design – PnL and trailing features can be toggled on or off in the input panel. Limitations & Disclaimer Not repaint-safe on non-standard chart types such as Heikin Ashi or Renko. PnL lines show raw price change only; commissions and slippage are not included. Past performance does not guarantee future results – trade responsibly and test thoroughly.

Trend Strength Oscillator📌 What Is the Trend Strength Oscillator? The Trend Strength Oscillator is a visual tool that helps traders understand the overall direction and strength of the market trend. Instead of using multiple indicators separately, this tool combines three trusted methods into one clear, color-coded bar chart. The bars change based on whether the market is strongly trending up, down, or just moving sideways. Imagine it as a traffic light for trading: • Green means it’s safe to consider buying (strong uptrend). • Red means consider selling or avoiding longs (strong downtrend). • Gray means wait, the market isn’t clearly trending. 🧠 How It Works — The 3 Main Components 1. EMA Slope The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) tracks the average price but reacts more quickly to changes. If the EMA is rising, it means the market is likely moving upward. If it’s falling, the trend is likely downward. 2. RSI Direction RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures momentum. This tool compares the RSI to its smoothed average. If the RSI is above its average, momentum is up. If it’s below, momentum is down. 3. ADX Strength ADX (Average Directional Index) measures how strong a trend is, not the direction. So even if EMA and RSI agree on a trend, the ADX must confirm it’s strong enough to be worth trading. Only when all three indicators agree do we consider it a strong trend. 🧮 What the Oscillator Shows The result of combining those components is a number that becomes a colored bar: • +2 means all three signals are bullish → green bar. • -2 means all three signals are bearish → red bar. • Anything else (e.g., mixed signals or weak ADX) → gray bar. This makes the chart super easy to read at a glance, even for beginners. 📈 How to Use It in Trading You can use the Trend Strength Oscillator in a few simple ways: • Entering Trades: Look for a green bar when you want to buy or go long. Look for a red bar when you want to sell or go short. These bars mean all systems are “go” in the same direction. • Avoiding Mistakes: If the bar is gray, it’s a warning that the market is undecided or weak. It’s often better to wait for a clearer signal rather than force a trade. • Managing Existing Trades: If you’re in a trade and the bar color shifts back to gray, that can be a clue that the trend is losing strength. You might tighten your stop-loss or take some profit. 🧭 Final Thoughts This indicator doesn’t give you a trade entry every few minutes. Instead, it helps you stay on the right side of strong moves and avoid choppy or sideways markets. It’s especially helpful for: • Trend-following traders • People who want clean, simple visuals • Beginners who get overwhelmed with too many indicators Let me know if you'd like to see this paired with another tool like volume or MACD, or if you’d like a chart screenshot to visualize how this looks live.

Candle Ribbon [UkutaLabs]The Candle Ribbon is a powerful trading tool that creates a strong ribbon that indicates market strength. This ribbon is created using three moving averages that use the candle values (high, low, open and close) as its input values. The center most MA will also be colored green, red or grey depending on whether or not its direction aligns with current market strength. The outer band lines act as range indicators, plotted above and below the center ribbon, which represent volatility boundaries for price action. █ USAGE The Candle Ribbon is created using a series of three moving averages that uses values from the candle as its inputs. The user has the ability to select whether the moving averages are EMAs or SMAs, as well as the ability to control the period of the moving averages. If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is below the moving average calculated using the Candle Close, the ribbon will be colored green, indicating a bullish trend. If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is above the moving average calculated using the Candle Open, the ribbon will be colored red, indicating a bearish trend. This indicator also uses a series of hidden EMAs to determine market strength. If these EMAs do not align with the direction of the Candle Ribbon, the middle MA will instead be colored grey, indicating uncertainty in the market, as well as a possible reversal. █ SETTINGS Configuration • Moving Average Type: Determines whether or not the Candle Moving Averages will be drawn as EMAs or SMAs. • Moving Average Period: Determines the period of the Candle Moving Averages. Moving Average • Moving Average Input: Determines the input values for the hidden EMAs.

Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts1. Overview The Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts indicator combines two proven techniques to help you anticipate major price swings and spot volatility compressions (long/short squeezes) early on. It offers: Automated Alerts via TradingView’s alert engine On-chart Visual Cues for immediate context Flexible Inputs to fine-tune sensitivity, lookback length, and display options 2. TTM Squeeze (Volatility Compression) Core Concept: Compares Bollinger Bands (standard deviation channels) with Keltner Channels (ATR-based channels). Squeeze On: BBs lie completely inside Keltner Channels → volatility is compressed, signaling a potential buildup. Squeeze Off: BBs break outside Keltner Channels → typically the start of a strong directional move. Alert: When the squeeze releases, the indicator fires an alert: 💥 Squeeze Release – Volatility incoming! Chart Label: A small, purple “🔒 Squeeze” label appears above the high of each bar while compression persists, giving you a real-time visual flag. 3. ATR Breakouts (Detecting Large Moves) Core Concept: Builds a dynamic price channel around an EMA using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your chosen factor. Cross Events: Price crosses above the upper ATR band → potential bullish breakout. Price crosses below the lower ATR band → potential bearish breakdown. Alert Conditions: Separate alert triggers for “🚀 Move Up” and “📉 Move Down” fire the moment the close breaches the ATR-based bounds. 4. Visualization & Usage Channel Plots: Bollinger Bands in blue Keltner Channels in orange ATR Channels in aqua (optional) Toggle all channel plots on or off with the showZones input. Background Highlight: During a squeeze, the chart background lightly tints purple for quick visual confirmation. Alerts Setup: Simply click Create Alert in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose the event(s) you want (squeeze release, ATR breakouts). You can route notifications via email, webhook, SMS, or platform pop-ups. 5. Deployment & Customization Timeframes: Effective across all timeframes; most popular for day- and swing-trading. Parameter Tuning: Increase the len value to smooth channels and focus on only the most significant compressions/moves. Adjust the ATR or BB multipliers to make alerts more or less sensitive. With this indicator, you gain a clear, actionable framework for spotting both volatility squeezes and breakouts before they unfold—empowering you to enter trades ahead of the crowd. Enjoy customizing and putting it to work!

Breakout TrendTiltFolio Breakout Trend indicator The Breakout Trend indicator is designed to help traders clearly visualize trend direction by combining two complementary techniques: moving averages and Donchian-style breakout logic. Rather than relying on just one type of signal, this indicator merges short-term and long-term moving averages with breakout levels based on recent highs and lows. The moving averages define the broader trend regime, while the breakout logic pinpoints moments when price confirms directional momentum. This layered approach filters out many false signals while still capturing high-conviction moves. Yes, these are lagging indicators by design — and that’s the point. Instead of predicting every wiggle, the Breakout Trend waits for confirmation, offering higher signal quality and fewer whipsaws. When the price breaks above a recent high and sits above the long-term moving average, the trend is more likely to persist. That’s when this indicator shines. While it performs best on higher timeframes (daily/weekly), it's also adaptable to shorter timeframes for intraday traders who value clean, systematic trend signals. For early signal detection, we recommend pairing this with TiltFolio’s Buying/Selling Proxy, which anticipates pressure buildups—albeit with more noise. It's easy to read and built for real-world trading discipline.

MACD Support and Resistance [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW MACD Support and Resistance is a dynamic support/resistance mapping tool powered by MACD crossover logic. Each time the MACD line crosses the signal line, the indicator scans for recent price extremes and locks them in as potential support or resistance zones. These levels are automatically cleaned up if price breaks them, keeping the chart focused on active market structure. The system includes a built-in MACD display with visual markers, along with contextual highs and lows to help define the current environment. ⯁ MACD-BASED SUPPORT/RESISTANCE GENERATION The core logic uses the MACD oscillator crossover as a trigger event to generate structural levels: When MACD crosses above its signal line:   → The script scans the last 5 bars for the lowest low .   → A support level is plotted at that price. When MACD crosses below its signal line:   → The script scans the last 5 bars for the highest high .   → A resistance level is plotted at that price. These dynamic levels reflect where price recently reversed or paused, making them prime zones for reaction, continuation, or invalidation. ⯁ LEVEL MANAGEMENT AND VALIDATION To keep the chart clean and relevant: A maximum of 20 active levels are allowed at once. Older levels are automatically removed if the list exceeds the limit. If price closes below a support level or above a resistance level , the corresponding line is deleted. This ensures that only currently respected levels remain on the chart — a major advantage for active traders. ⯁ MACD VISUALIZATION + SIGNAL MARKERS A full MACD system is rendered on the lower panel for visual confirmation: The MACD line and Signal line are both plotted and color-coded dynamically. A filled area] highlights the spread between them to emphasize momentum strength. A diamond marker is drawn each time MACD crosses its signal line, alerting traders to potential trend shifts. These visuals make it easy to understand the timing of the support/resistance updates. ⯁ LOCAL EXTREME REFERENCE LINES To help contextualize current price position relative to recent market extremes: A Local High line is plotted based on the highest MACD value over the past 100 bars]. A Local Low line is plotted based on the lowest MACD value over the past 100 bars]. These levels are rendered lightly and serve as dynamic range boundaries. They assist traders in identifying overextended or compressed MACD behavior. ⯁ USAGE Use the generated S/R levels as breakout or reversal zones. Watch for MACD diamond markers to confirm the timing of new levels. Combine these reactive zones with other ChartPrime confluence tools for higher-confidence entries. Use the Local High/Low zones as a volatility envelope to guide risk and trend continuation potential. ⯁ CONCLUSION MACD Support and Resistance takes a classic momentum indicator and adds real-time structural awareness. By linking MACD crossover events to recent price extremes, it identifies the zones where market sentiment shifted — and continues to monitor their strength. Whether you're a breakout trader or looking to fade key reaction points, this tool delivers clean, actionable levels based on momentum and structure — not guesswork.

Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview Trend Impulse Channels (Zeiierman) is a precision-engineered trend-following system that visualizes discrete trend progression using volatility-scaled step logic. It replaces traditional slope-based tracking with clearly defined “trend steps,” capturing directional momentum only when price action decisively confirms a shift through an ATR-based trigger. This tool is ideal for traders who prefer structured, stair-step progression over fluid curves, and value the clarity of momentum-based bands that reveal breakout conviction, pullback retests, and consolidation zones. The channel width adapts automatically to market volatility, while the step logic filters out noise and false flips. ⚪ The Structural Assumption This indicator is built on a core market structure observation: After each strong trend impulse, the market typically enters a “cooling-off” phase as profit-taking occurs and counter-trend participants enter. This often results in a shallow pullback or stall, creating a slight negative slope in an uptrend (or a positive slope in a downtrend). These “cooling-off” phases don’t reverse the trend — they signal temporary pressure before the next leg continues. By tracking trend steps discretely and filtering for this behavior, Trend Impulse Channels helps traders align with the rhythm of impulse → pause → impulse. █ How It Works ⚪ Step-Based Trend Engine At the heart of this tool is a dynamic step engine that progresses only when price crosses a predefined ATR-scaled trigger level: Trigger Threshold (× ATR) – Defines how far price must break beyond the current trend state to register a new trend step. Step Size (Volatility-Guided) – Each trend continuation moves the trend line in discrete units, scaling with ATR and trend persistence. Trend Direction State – Maintains a +1/-1 internal bias to support directional filters and step tracking. ⚪ Volatility-Adaptive Channel Each step is wrapped inside a dynamic envelope scaled to current volatility: Upper and Lower Bands – Derived from ATR and band multipliers to expand/contract as volatility changes. ⚪ Retest Signal System Optional signal markers show when price re-tests the upper or lower band: Upper Retest → Pullback into resistance during a bearish trend. Lower Retest → Pullback into support during a bullish trend. ⚪ Trend Step Signals Circular markers can be shown to mark each time the trend steps forward, making it easy to identify structurally significant moments of continuation within a larger trend. █ How to Use ⚪ Trend Alignment Use the Trend Line and Step Markers to visually confirm the direction of momentum. If multiple trend steps occur in sequence without reversal, this typically signals strong conviction and trend persistence. ⚪ Retest-Based Entries Wait for pullbacks into the channel and monitor for triangle retest signals. When used in confluence with trend direction, these offer high-quality continuation setups. ⚪ Breakouts Look for breakouts beyond the upper or lower band after a longer period of pause. For higher likelihood of success, look for breakouts in the direction of the trend. █ Settings Trigger Threshold (× ATR) - Defines how far price must move to register a new trend step. Controls sensitivity to trend flips. Max Step Size (× ATR) - Caps how far each trend step can extend. Prevents runaway step expansion in high volatility. Band Multiplier (× ATR) - Expands the upper and lower channels. Controls how much breathing room the bands allow. Trend Hold (bars) - Minimum number of bars the trend must remain active before allowing a flip. Helps reduce noise. Filter by Trend - Restrict retest signals to those aligned with the current trend direction. ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

ATR RopeATR Rope is inspired by DonovanWall's "Range Filter". It implements a similar concept of filtering out smaller market movements and adjusting only for larger moves. In addition, this indicator goes one step deeper by producing actionable zones to determine market state. (Trend vs. Consolidation) > Background When reading up on the Range Filter indicator, it reminded me exactly of a Rope stabilization drawing tool in a program I use frequently. Rope stabilization essentially attaches a fixed length "rope" to your cursor and an anchor point (Brush). As you move your cursor, you are pulling the brush behind it. The cursor (of course) will not pull the brush until the rope is fully extended, this behavior filters out jittery movements and is used to produce smoother drawing curves. If compared visually side-by-side, you will notice that this indicator bears striking resemblance to its inspiration. > Goal Other than simply distinguishing price movements between meaningful and noise, this indicator strives to create a rigid structure to frame market movements and lack-there-of, such as when to anticipate trend, and when to suspect consolidation. Since the indicator works based on an ATR range, the resulting ATR Channel does well to get reactions from price at its extremes. Naturally, when consolidating, price will remain within the channel, neither pushing the channel significantly up or down. Likewise, when trending, price will continue to push the channel in a single direction. With the goal of keeping it quick and simple, this indicator does not do any smoothing of data feeds, and is simply based on the deviation of price from the central rope. Adjusting the rope when price extends past the threshold created by +/- ATR from the rope. > Features & Behaviors - ATR Rope ATR Rope is displayed as a 3 color single line. This can be considered the center line, or the directional line, whichever you'd prefer. The main point of the Rope display is to indicate direction, however it also is factually the center of the current working range. - ATR Rope Color When the rope's value moves up, it changes to green (uptrend), when down, red (downtrend). When the source crosses the rope, it turns blue (flat). With these simple rules, we've formed a structure to view market movements. - Consolidation Zones Consolidation Zones generate from "Flat" areas, and extend into subsequent trend areas. Consolidation is simply areas where price has crossed the Rope and remains inside the range. Over these periods, the upper and lower values are accumulated and averaged together to form the "Consolidation Zone" values. These zones are draw live, so values are averaged as the flat areas progress and don't repaint, so all values seen historically are as they would appear live. - ATR Channel ATR Channel displays the upper and lower bounds of the working range. When the source moves beyond this range, the rope is adjusted based on the distance from the source to the channel. This range can be extremely useful to view, but by default it is hidden. > Application This indicator is not created to provide signals, or serve as a "complete" system. (People who didn't read this far will still comment for signals. :) ) This is created to be used alongside manual interpretation and intuition. This indicator is not meant to constrain any users into a box, and I would actually encourage an open mind and idea generation, as the application of this indicator can take various forms. > Examples As you would probably already know, price movement can be fast impulses, and movement can be slow bleeds. In the screenshot below, we are using movements from and to consolidation zones to classify weak trend and strong trend. As you can see, there are also areas of consolidation which get broken out of and confirmed for the larger moves. Author's Note: In each of these examples, I have outlined the start and end of each session. These examples come from 1 Min Future charts, and have specifically been framed with day trading in mind. "Breakout Retest" or "Support/Resistance Flips" or "Structure Retests" are all generally the same thing, with different traders referring to them by different names, all of which can be seen throughout these examples. In the next example, we have a day which started with an early reversal leading into long, slow, trend. Notice how each area throughout the trend essentially moves slightly higher, then consolidates while holding support of the previous zone. This day had a few sharp movements, however there was a large amount of neutrality throughout this day with continuous higher lows. In contrast to the previous example, next up, we have a very choppy day. Throughout which we see a significant amount of retests before fast directional movements. We also see a few examples of places where previous zones remained relevant into the future. While the zones only display into the resulting trend area, they do not become immediately meaningless once they stop drawing. > Abstract In the screenshot below, I have stacked 2 of these indicators, using the high as the source for one and the low as the source for the other. I've hidden lines of the high and low channels to create a 4 lined channel based on the wicks of price. This is not necessary to use the indicator, but should help provide an idea of creative ways the simple indicator could be used to produce more complicated analysis. If you've made it this far, I would hope it's clear to you how this indicator could provide value to your trading. Thank you to DonovonWall for the inspiration. Enjoy!

Euclidean Range [InvestorUnknown]The Euclidean Range indicator visualizes price deviation from a moving average using a geometric concept Euclidean distance. It helps traders identify trend strength, volatility shifts, and potential overextensions in price behavior. Euclidean Distance Euclidean distance is a fundamental concept in geometry and machine learning. It measures the "straight-line distance" between two points in space. In time series analysis, it can be used to measure how far one sequence deviates from another over a fixed window. euclidean_distance(src, ref, len) => var float sum_sq_diff = na sum_sq_diff := 0.0 for i = 0 to len - 1 diff = src - ref sum_sq_diff += diff * diff math.sqrt(sum_sq_diff) In this script, we calculate the Euclidean distance between the price (source) and a smoothed average (reference) over a user-defined window. This gives us a single scalar that reflects the overall divergence between price and trend. How It Works Moving Average Calculation: You can choose between SMA, EMA, or HMA as your reference line. This becomes the "baseline" against which the actual price is compared. Distance Band Construction: The Euclidean distance between the price and the reference is calculated over the Window Length. This value is then added to and subtracted from the average to form dynamic upper and lower bands, visually framing the range of deviation. Distance Ratios and Z-Scores: Two distance ratios are computed: dist_r = distance / price (sensitivity to volatility); dist_v = price / distance (sensitivity to compression or low-volatility states) Both ratios are normalized using a Z-score to standardize their behavior and allow for easier interpretation across different assets and timeframes. Z-Score Plots: Z_r (white line) highlights instances of high volatility or strong price deviation; Z_v (red line) highlights low volatility or compressed price ranges. Background Highlighting (Optional): When Z_v is dominant and increasing, the background is colored using a gradient. This signals a possible build-up in low volatility, which may precede a breakout. Use Cases Detect volatile expansions and calm compression zones. Identify mean reversion setups when price returns to the average. Anticipate breakout conditions by observing rising Z_v values. Use dynamic distance bands as adaptive support/resistance zones. Notes The indicator is best used with liquid assets and medium-to-long windows. Background coloring helps visually filter for squeeze setups. Disclaimer This indicator is provided for speculative analysis and educational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Always backtest and evaluate in a simulated environment before live trading.

Fallback VWAP (No Volume? No Problem!) – Yogi365Fallback VWAP (No Volume? No Problem!) – Yogi365 This script plots Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs with ±1 Standard Deviation bands. When volume data is missing or zero (common in indices or illiquid assets), it automatically falls back to a TWAP-style calculation, ensuring that your VWAP levels always remain visible and accurate. Features: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs with ±1 Std Dev bands. Auto-detection of missing volume and seamless fallback. Clean, color-coded trend table showing price vs VWAP/bands. Uses hlc3 for VWAP source. Labels indicate when fallback is used. Best Used On: Any asset or index where volume is unavailable. Intraday and swing trading. Works on all timeframes but optimized for overlay use. How it Works: If volume == 0, the script uses a constant fallback volume (1), turning the VWAP into a TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) — still useful for intraday or index-based analysis. This ensures consistent plotting on instruments like indices (e.g., NIFTY, SENSEX,DJI etc.) which might not provide volume on TradingView.

EMA Pullback System 1:5 RRR [SL]EMA Trend Pullback System (1:5 RRR) Summary: This indicator is designed to identify high-probability pullback opportunities along the main trend, providing trade signals that target a high 1:5 Risk/Reward Ratio. It is a trend-following strategy built for patient traders who wait for optimal setups. Strategy Logic: The system is based on three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): 21, 50, and 200. BUY Signal: Trend (Uptrend): The price must be above the 200 EMA. Pullback: The price must pull back into the "Dynamic Support Zone" between the 21 EMA and 50 EMA. Confirmation: A strong Bullish Confirmation Candle (e.g., Bullish Engulfing) must form within this zone. SELL Signal: Trend (Downtrend): The price must be below the 200 EMA. Pullback: The price must rally back into the "Dynamic Resistance Zone" between the 21 EMA and 50 EMA. Confirmation: A strong Bearish Confirmation Candle (e.g., Bearish Engulfing) must form within this zone. Key Features: Clearly plots the 21, 50, and 200 EMAs on the chart. Displays BUY and SELL labels when the rules are met. Automatically calculates and plots Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels for each signal. The Risk/Reward Ratio for the Take Profit level is customizable in the settings (Default: 1:5). How to Use: Best suited for higher timeframes like H1 and H4. It is crucial to wait for the signal candle to close before considering an entry. While this is an automated tool, for best results, combine its signals with your own analysis of Price Action and Market Structure. Disclaimer: This is an educational tool and not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk. Always use proper risk management. It is essential to backtest any strategy before deploying it with real capital.

Levels Of Interest------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LEVELS OF INTEREST (LOI) TRADING INDICATOR GUIDE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table of Contents: 1. Indicator Overview & Core Functionality 2. VWAP Foundation & Historical Context 3. Multi-Timeframe VWAP Analysis 4. Moving Average Integration System 5. Trend Direction Signal Detection 6. Visual Design & Display Features 7. Custom Level Integration 8. Repaint Protection Technology 9. Practical Trading Applications 10. Setup & Configuration Recommendations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. INDICATOR OVERVIEW & CORE FUNCTIONALITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The LOI indicator combines multiple VWAP calculations with moving averages across different timeframes. It's designed to show where institutional money is flowing and help identify key support and resistance levels that actually matter in today's markets. Primary Functions: - Multi-timeframe VWAP analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) - Advanced moving average integration (EMA, SMA, HMA) - Real-time trend direction detection - Institutional flow analysis - Dynamic support/resistance identification Target Users: Day traders, swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts seeking comprehensive market structure analysis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. VWAP FOUNDATION & HISTORICAL CONTEXT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Historical Development: VWAP started in the 1980s when big institutional traders needed a way to measure if they were getting good fills on their massive orders. Unlike regular price averages, VWAP weighs each price by the volume traded at that level. This makes it incredibly useful because it shows you where most of the real money changed hands. Mathematical Foundation: The basic math is simple: you take each price, multiply it by the volume at that price, add them all up, then divide by total volume. What you get is the true "average" price that reflects actual trading activity, not just random price movements. Formula: VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume) Where typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3 Institutional Behavior Patterns: - When price trades above VWAP, institutions often look to sell - When it's below, they're usually buying - Creates natural support and resistance that you can actually trade against - Serves as benchmark for execution quality assessment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME VWAP ANALYSIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Core Innovation: Here's where LOI gets interesting. Instead of just showing daily VWAP like most indicators, it displays four different timeframes simultaneously: **Daily VWAP Implementation**: - Resets every morning at market open - Provides clearest picture of intraday institutional sentiment - Primary tool for day trading strategies - Most responsive to immediate market conditions **Weekly VWAP System**: - Resets each Monday (or first trading day) - Smooths out daily noise and volatility - Perfect for swing trades lasting several days to weeks - Captures weekly institutional positioning **Monthly VWAP Analysis**: - Resets at beginning of each calendar month - Captures bigger institutional rebalancing at month-end - Fund managers often operate on monthly mandates - Significant weight in intermediate-term analysis **Yearly VWAP Perspective**: - Resets annually for full-year institutional view - Shows long-term institutional positioning - Where pension funds and sovereign wealth funds operate - Critical for major trend identification Confluence Zone Theory: The magic happens when multiple VWAP levels cluster together. These confluence zones often become major turning points because different types of institutional money all see value at the same price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. MOVING AVERAGE INTEGRATION SYSTEM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multi-Type Implementation: The indicator includes three types of moving averages, each with its own personality and application: **Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**: - React quickly to recent price changes - Displayed as solid lines for easy identification - Optimal performance in trending market conditions - Higher sensitivity to current price action **Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)**: - Treat all historical data points equally - Appear as dashed lines in visual display - Slower response but more reliable in choppy conditions - Traditional approach favored by institutional traders **Hull Moving Averages (HMAs)**: - Newest addition to the system (dotted line display) - Created by Alan Hull in 2005 - Solves classic moving average dilemma: speed vs. accuracy - Manages to be both responsive and smooth simultaneously Technical Innovation: Alan Hull's solution addresses the fundamental problem where moving averages are either too slow (missing moves) or too fast (generating false signals). HMAs achieve optimal balance through weighted calculation methodology. Period Configuration: - 5-period: Short-term momentum assessment - 50-period: Intermediate trend identification - 200-period: Long-term directional confirmation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. TREND DIRECTION SIGNAL DETECTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Real-Time Momentum Analysis: One of LOI's best features is its real-time trend detection system. Next to each moving average, visual symbols provide immediate trend assessment: Symbol System: - ▲ Rising average (bullish momentum confirmation) - ▼ Falling average (bearish momentum indication) - ► Flat average (consolidation or indecision period) Update Frequency: These signals update in real-time with each new price tick and function across all configured timeframes. Traders can quickly scan daily and weekly trends to assess alignment or conflicting signals. Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis: - Simultaneous daily and weekly trend comparison - Immediate identification of trend alignment - Early warning system for potential reversals - Momentum confirmation for entry decisions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. VISUAL DESIGN & DISPLAY FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Color Psychology Framework: The color scheme isn't random but based on psychological associations and trading conventions: - **Blue Tones**: Institutional neutrality (VWAP levels) - **Green Spectrum**: Growth and stability (weekly timeframes) - **Purple Range**: Longer-term sophistication (monthly analysis) - **Orange Hues**: Importance and attention (yearly perspective) - **Red Tones**: User-defined significance (custom levels) Adaptive Display Technology: The indicator automatically adjusts decimal places based on the instrument you're trading. High-priced stocks show 2 decimals, while penny stocks might show 8. This keeps the display incredibly clean regardless of what you're analyzing - no cluttered charts or overwhelming information overload. Smart Labeling System: Advanced positioning algorithm automatically spaces all elements to prevent overlap, even during extreme zoom levels or multiple timeframe analysis. Every level stays clearly readable without any visual chaos disrupting your analysis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. CUSTOM LEVEL INTEGRATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ User-Defined Level System: Beyond the calculated VWAP and moving average levels, traders can add custom horizontal lines at any price point for personalized analysis. Strategic Applications: - **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers, previous significant highs/lows - **Technical Levels**: Fibonacci retracements, pivot points - **Fundamental Targets**: Analyst price targets, earnings estimates - **Risk Management**: Stop-loss and take-profit zones Integration Features: - Seamless incorporation with smart labeling system - Custom color selection for visual organization - Extension capabilities across all chart timeframes - Maintains display clarity with existing indicators ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. REPAINT PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Critical Trading Feature: This addresses one of the most significant issues in live trading applications. Most multi-timeframe indicators "repaint," meaning they display different signals when viewing historical data versus real-time analysis. Protection Benefits: - Ensures every displayed signal could have been traded when it appeared - Eliminates discrepancies between historical and live analysis - Provides realistic performance expectations - Maintains signal integrity across chart refreshes Configuration Options: - **Protection Enabled**: Default setting for live trading - **Protection Disabled**: Available for backtesting analysis - User-selectable toggle based on analysis requirements - Applies to all multi-timeframe calculations Implementation Note: With protection enabled, signals may appear one bar later than without protection, but this ensures all signals represent actionable opportunities that could have been executed in real-time market conditions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Day Trading Strategy**: Focus on daily VWAP with 5-period moving averages. Look for bounces off VWAP or breaks through it with volume. Short-term momentum signals provide entry and exit timing. **Swing Trading Approach**: Weekly VWAP becomes your primary anchor point, with 50-period averages showing intermediate trends. Position sizing based on weekly VWAP distance. **Position Trading Method**: Monthly and yearly VWAP provide broad market context, while 200-period averages confirm long-term directional bias. Suitable for multi-week to multi-month holdings. **Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy**: The highest-probability setups occur when daily, weekly, and monthly VWAPs cluster together, especially when multiple moving averages confirm the same direction. These represent institutional consensus zones. Risk Management Integration: - VWAP levels serve as dynamic stop-loss references - Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals - Institutional flow analysis improves position sizing decisions - Trend direction signals optimize entry and exit timing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10. SETUP & CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Initial Configuration: Start with default settings and adjust based on individual trading style and market focus. Short-term traders should emphasize daily and weekly timeframes, while longer-term investors benefit from monthly and yearly level analysis. Transparency Optimization: The transparency settings allow clear price action visibility while maintaining level reference points. Most traders find 70-80% transparency optimal - it provides a clean, unobstructed view of price movement while maintaining all critical reference levels needed for analysis. Integration Strategy: Remember that no indicator functions effectively in isolation. LOI provides excellent context for institutional flow and trend direction analysis, but should be combined with complementary analysis tools for optimal results. Performance Considerations: - Multiple timeframe calculations may impact chart loading speed - Adjust displayed timeframes based on trading frequency - Customize color schemes for different market sessions - Regular review and adjustment of custom levels ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FINAL ANALYSIS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Competitive Advantage: What makes LOI different is its focus on where real money actually trades. By combining volume-weighted calculations with multiple timeframes and trend detection, it cuts through market noise to show you what institutions are really doing. Key Success Factor: Understanding that different timeframes serve different purposes is essential. Use them together to build a complete picture of market structure, then execute trades accordingly. The integration of institutional flow analysis with technical trend detection creates a comprehensive trading tool that addresses both short-term tactical decisions and longer-term strategic positioning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ END OF DOCUMENTATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
