Volatility Adjusted MACDMACD, short for moving average convergence/divergence, is a trading indicator used in technical analysis of securities prices, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It is designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD indicator (or "oscillator") is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price. These three series are: the MACD series proper, the "signal" or "average" series, and the "divergence" series which is the difference between the two. The MACD series is the difference between a "fast" (short period) exponential moving average (EMA), and a "slow" (longer period) EMA of the price series. The average series is an EMA of the MACD series itself.
This version of MACD follows the work of Alex Spiroglou, DipTA(ATAA), CFTe in his 2022 paper that was awarded Charles H. Dow Award by CMT Association . The paper is available on papers.ssrn.com or on website.of CMT Association.
Please refer to the paper for details on construction and trading rules . I personally find the volatility adjusted version as described in this paper more responsive in terms of signals and divergences.
Centered Oscillators
Composite Momentum IndicatorComposite Momentum Indicator" combines the signals from several oscillators, including Stochastic, RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by averaging the standardized values (Z-Scores). Since it is a Z-Score based indicators the values will be typically be bound between +3 and -3 oscillating around 0. Here's a summary of the code:
Input Parameters: Users can customize the look-back period and set threshold values for overbought and oversold conditions. They can also choose which oscillators to include in the composite calculation.
Oscillator Calculations: The code calculates four separate oscillators - Stochastic, RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, and CCI - each measuring different aspects of market momentum.
Z-Scores Calculation: For each oscillator, the code calculates a Z-Score, which normalizes the oscillator's values based on its historical standard deviation and mean. This allows for a consistent comparison of oscillator values across different timeframes.
Composite Z-Score: The code aggregates the Z-Scores from the selected oscillators, taking into account user preferences (whether to include each oscillator). It then calculates an average Z-Score to create the "Composite Momentum Oscillator."
Conditional Color Coding: The composite oscillator is color-coded based on its average Z-Score value. It turns green when it's above the overbought threshold, red when it's below the oversold threshold, and blue when it's within the specified range.
Horizontal Lines: The code plots horizontal lines at key levels, including 0, ±3, ±2, and ±1, to help users identify important momentum levels.
Gradient Fills: It adds gradient fills above the overbought threshold and below the oversold threshold to visually highlight extreme momentum conditions.
Combining the Stochastic, RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) into one composite indicator offers several advantages for traders and technical analysts:
Comprehensive Insight: Each of these oscillators measures different aspects of market momentum and price action. Combining them into one indicator provides a more comprehensive view of the market's behavior, as it takes into account various dimensions of momentum simultaneously.
Reduced Noise: Standalone oscillators can generate conflicting signals and produce noisy readings, especially during choppy market conditions. A composite indicator smoothes out these discrepancies by averaging the signals from multiple indicators, potentially reducing false signals.
Confirmation and Divergence: By combining multiple oscillators, traders can seek confirmation or divergence signals. When multiple oscillators align in the same direction, it can strengthen a trading signal. Conversely, divergence between the oscillators can warn of potential reversals or weakening trends.
Customization: Traders can tailor the composite indicator to their specific trading strategies and preferences. They have the flexibility to include or exclude specific oscillators, adjust look-back periods, and set threshold levels. This adaptability allows for a more personalized approach to technical analysis.
Clarity and Efficiency: Rather than cluttering the chart with multiple individual oscillators, a composite indicator condenses the information into a single plot. This enhances the clarity of the chart and makes it easier for traders to quickly interpret market conditions.
Overbought/Oversold Identification: Combining these oscillators can improve the identification of overbought and oversold conditions. It reduces the likelihood of false signals since multiple indicators must align to trigger these extreme conditions.
Educational Tool: For novice traders and analysts, a composite indicator can serve as an educational tool by demonstrating how different oscillators interact and influence each other's signals. It allows users to learn about multiple technical indicators in one glance.
Efficient Use of Screen Space: A single composite indicator occupies less screen space compared to multiple separate indicators. This is especially beneficial when analyzing multiple markets or timeframes simultaneously.
Holistic Approach: Instead of relying on a single indicator, a composite approach encourages a more holistic assessment of market conditions. Traders can consider a broader range of factors before making trading decisions.
Increased Confidence: A composite indicator can boost traders' confidence in their decisions. When multiple reliable indicators align, it can provide a stronger basis for taking action in the market.
In summary, combining the Stochastic, RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, and CCI into one composite indicator enhances the depth and reliability of technical analysis. It simplifies the decision-making process, reduces noise, and offers a more complete picture of market momentum, ultimately helping traders make more informed and well-rounded trading decisions.

[blackcat] L3 MACD and RSI Fusion The MACD and RSI fusion is a popular technical analysis strategy used by traders to identify buy and sell signals in the market. The strategy makes use of two popular technical indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and combines them to create a powerful trading signal.
The MACD and RSI fusion was originally developed for the Chinese stock market and is commonly used by traders all over the world. The strategy is based on the idea that the MACD and RSI indicators can be used together to provide a more accurate and reliable signal.
To use the MACD and RSI fusion , traders need to follow a few simple steps. The following code is the TradingView Pine script v4 indicator equivalent of the original MACD and RSI fusion code:
```
//@version=4
study(" MACD and RSI fusion ", overlay=false)
// Define the simple fusion indicator
simple_fusion = (ema(close, 12) - ema(close, 26)) * 1.2 + rsi(close, 14) / 50
// Define the simple fusion lag indicator
simple_fusion_lag = nz(simple_fusion )
// Plot the simple fusion and simple fusion lag indicators
plot(simple_fusion, color=color.blue, title="simple fusion")
plot(simple_fusion_lag, color=color.red, title="simple fusion Lag")
```
This code defines the simple fusion and simple fusion Lag indicators and plots them on the chart. The simple fusion indicator is the sum of the 12- and 26-period exponential moving averages of the closing price, multiplied by 1.2, and added to the 14-period relative strength index of the closing price, divided by 50. The simple fusion Lag indicator is the value of the simple fusion indicator from the previous period.
Traders can use the simple fusion and simple fusion Lag indicators to identify buy and sell signals. When the simple fusion indicator crosses above the simple fusion Lag indicator, it is a buy signal, and when the simple fusion indicator crosses below the simple fusion Lag indicator, it is a sell signal.
In conclusion, the MACD and RSI fusion is a simple but powerful technical analysis strategy that combines two popular technical indicators to identify buy and sell signals in the market.
CCI RSI Trading SignalThe "CCI RSI Trading Signal" indicator combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) to provide buy and sell signals for trading. The CCI identifies potential trend reversals, while the RSI helps confirm overbought and oversold conditions.
How It Works:
The indicator generates a buy signal when the CCI crosses above -100 (indicating a potential bullish reversal) and the RSI is below the specified oversold level. On the other hand, a sell signal is produced when the CCI crosses below 100 (indicating a potential bearish reversal) and the RSI is above the specified overbought level.
Customization:
Traders can adjust the RSI and CCI periods, RSI oversold and overbought levels, as well as take profit, stop loss, and lot size settings to suit their trading preferences.
Usage:
The "CCI RSI Trading Signal" indicator can be used on various timeframes and markets to aid in decision-making, providing potential entry and exit points based on the combined analysis of CCI and RSI.
Linear RegressionThis indicator can be used to determine the direction of the current trend.
The indicator plots two different histograms based on the linear regression formula:
- The colored ones represent the direction of the short-term trend
- The gray one represents the direction of the long-term trend
In the settings, you can change the length of the short-term value, which also influences the long-term as a basis that will be multiplied
Realtime Divergence for Any Indicator - By John BartleThe main purpose of this script is to show historical and real-time divergences for any oscillating indicator. The secondary purpose is to give the user a lot of precise control over identifying divergences and determining what they are. This is an improved version of my other script which is similarly called "Realtime Divergence for Any Indicator"
There are four types of divergences that are offered:
Bull divergence
Hidden bull divergence
Bear divergence
Hidden Bear divergence
There are three types of potential(real-time) divergences which include:
1) Without right side bars for rightside pivots. Plus without waiting for the rightside pivot bar to complete
2) Without right side bars for rightside pivots. Plus with waiting for the rightside pivot bar to complete
3) With right side bars for rightside pivots. Plus without waiting for the rightside pivot right-most bar to complete
A definite divergence occurs when all specified bars are accounted for and fully formed.
Potential divergences use dashed lines and definite(historical) divergences use solid lines.
In addition to several other categories of settings to filter out unwanted divergences or manipulate the search process, this script also offers Alerts. Remember that alerts must not only be set within this scripts settings but also your "Alerts" panel on your right. It's strange but BOTH must be set for alerts to work...
Other interesting Things To Know:
1)I actually don't trade and so I have no need of a paid account. Unpaid accounts don't have the playback feature so I haven't really tested this script out very well. Sorry. Just let me know if something seems off and IF I have time I'll try to fix it.
2)Keep in mind that Pinescript limits the number of lines that can be shown at one time. This means that if your settings allow for a large number of divergence lines they will be removed from the leftward side of your chart but appear in the rightward side.
3) The time and the values for the price or oscillator are not the same things as each other nor are they physical things with physical space. This means that slopes of lines using the time as X and value as Y can not have definite angles. Consequently, under the setting "DIVERGENCES: SLOPE ANGLE EXCLUSION" YOU have to decide what slope equals what angle by using the setting called "Normalization Factor".
4) Remember that some individual settings apply to both the oscillator and price chart. This means that even if the setting's conditions are fulfilled in one they may not be fulfilled in the other.
5) Under the category "DIVERGENCES: INTERSECTION ALLOWANCE", if you set the "Measurement Type" to Relative Percentage then FYI any single given length will equate to an increasingly smaller percentage the further away from zero it is. Because of this, I think "Reletive Percentage" is probably only useful for price charts or oscillators with big values. Maybe >200 is OK ?
Errors:
1) If you get the error mentioning that the script must complete execution within X amount of time, this is because this is a big script and sometimes takes longer than your service plan's allotted time limit. You can just disable some of the settings to reduce the scripts amount of work and time. The biggest time savers will be to disable some lines and labels
2) If you get an error saying the script accessed a negative index(e.g. ) then try temporarily increasing the "Add More Array Elements" setting to 100-200. Sometimes it fixes the problem.
3) You may sometimes temporarily get an error that reads: "Pine cannot determine the referencing length of a series. Try using max_bars_back in the study or strategy function".
If this happens there are several things that you can do:
3A) Create a copy of my script. Then edit the section of code that looks like this ")//, max_bars_back = INSERT_YOUR_QUANTITY_HERE)" and transform it to look like this new code ", max_bars_back = INSERT_YOUR_QUANTITY_HERE)" then repeatedly try replacing "INSERT_YOUR_QUANTITY_HERE" with an increasingly larger number greater than 244 but less than 5000.
This method will increase your system resources and could cause other problems. Try changing the code back after a few hours and see if all is well again. It is a Pinescript limitation issue and happens when certain functions or variables don't get used at least once within the first 244 bars.
3B) Adjust your settings to hopefully find a divergence within the first 244 bars. If one is found then the problematic variables or functions should get used and the Pinescript 244 bar limitation should be temporarily resolved.
3C) Wait for X number of new bars to occur. If a divergence is eventually found within the first 244 bars that should solve the issue.
Tips:
1) If the amount that a setting changes value is undesirable for each time you click it then you can change that amount in the code. To do that, you'll need your own copy of my script. To make your own copy just click on "create a working copy" in the brown colored strip area above the code. Then within approximately the first 108 lines find the title of the setting you want to change. Then look to it's right to find the parameter called "step =". Change what the step equals to whatever you want. FYI, you can hover your mouse over the blue colored code and a popup will tell you what parameters(i.e. settings) that function(e.g. "input.int()") has available.
Coppock Curve w/ Early Turns [QuantVue]The Coppock Curve is a momentum oscillator developed by Edwin Coppock in 1962. The curve is calculated using a combination of the rate of change (ROC) for two distinct periods, which are then subjected to a weighted moving average (WMA).
History of the Coppock Curve:
The Coppock Curve was originally designed for use on a monthly time frame to identify buying opportunities in stock market indices, primarily after significant declines or bear markets.
Historically, the monthly time frame has been the most popular for the Coppock Curve, especially for long-term trend analysis and spotting the beginnings of potential bull markets after bearish periods.
The signal wasn't initially designed for finding sell signals, however it can be used to look for tops as well.
When the indicator is above zero it indicates a hold. When the indicator drops below zero it indicates a sell, and when the indicator moves above zero it signals a buy.
While this indicator was originally designed to be used on monthly charts of the indices, many traders now use this on individual equities and etfs on all different time frames.
About this Indicator:
The Coppock Curve is plotted with colors changing based on its position relative to the zero line. When above zero, it's green, and when below, it's red. (default settings)
An absolute zero line is also plotted in black to serve as a reference.
In addition to the classic Coppock Curve, this indicator looks to identify "early turns" or potential reversals of the Coppock Curve rather than waiting for the indicator to cross above or below the zero line.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.
Cheers!
Support and Resistance Oscillator [CC]The Support and Resistance Oscillator is an experimental script I created to identify when the current price breaks a support or resistance line and reflect this value in an oscillator formula. This indicator uses a threshold to decide the dividing line between buying and selling points. Feel free to change the threshold or smoothing settings to see if you find anything better since this is so experimental. I'm double smoothing the difference between the indicator and its signal line to attempt to capture a combo of the price momentum combined with the general support and resistance levels. I have used dark colors for strong signals and lighter colors for normal signals and make sure to buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts or indicators you would like to see me publish!
MACD 3D with Signals [Quantigenics]Quantigenics MACD 3D with Buy Sell Signals is a MACD-based trading indicator that aims to identify market trends and potential turning points, for Buy/Sell opportunities, by leveraging price data and volatility.
Unlike the traditional MACD indicator, the average price is calculated from the high, low, and close prices, from which a specialized MACD value is derived. This MACD value, combined with an average and standard deviation, takes into account volatility, and is used to generate an upper and lower boundary.
The indicator color-codes market trends: aqua indicates upward trends (signifying increased buying pressure), red suggests downward trends (increased selling pressure). When the MACD value crosses above the upper boundary or falls below the lower boundary, the color changes to yellow indicating a possible reversal point and "Momentum Crossover Signals" can be plotted at this point. "Standard Signal" arrows can also plotted when the MACD 3D changes from auqa to red and vice-versa.
A trendline is drawn at the median value, providing a baseline for comparison. A differential value, which measures the distance between the MACD value and the median line, provides additional insight into the price's deviation from this baseline (divergences from the underlying price can be spotted using this data as well). The differential is color-coded: green when MACD is above the median, and red when it's below, with darker shades representing a decreasing gap.
Alerts can be set to trigger with the "Standard Signal" arrows appearing after MACD 3D changes from auqa to red and vice-versa and when the "Momentum Crossover Signal" arrows appear when the MACD value crosses above the upper boundary or falls below the lower boundary indicating a potential reversal. Providing immediate notifications which can be especially helpful in larger time frames where it may take time for a trade setup to develop.

Velocity Acceleration Convergence Divergence Indicator [CC]I created the Velocity Acceleration Convergence Divergence Indicator, and it is quite a mouthful if I do say so. I based this script on my two previous scripts: Velocity Indicator and Velocity Acceleration Indicator . This acts like a typical MACD but is much faster with the responses. This indicator is created by finding the difference between the Velocity Indicator and Velocity Acceleration Indicator to determine the overall trend strength of the underlying stock. Like the other scripts, I coded the general buy and sell signals the same, so you would want to buy when the indicator crosses over above the zero midline and sell when it crosses below the zero midline. I have also used the same colors, so darker colors for strong signals and lighter colors for normal signals.
Please let me know if you would like me to publish another script or if you want something custom done!
Velocity Acceleration Indicator [CC]The Velocity Acceleration Indicator was created by Scott Cong (Stocks and Commodities Sep 2023, pgs 8-15). This is another personal variation of his formula designed to capture the overall velocity acceleration of the underlying stock by applying the velocity formula to the original indicator to find the acceleration of the underlying velocity. I changed a few things around and managed actually to get less lag and quicker signals for this version, so make sure you compare the Velocity Indicator script that I published yesterday. This indicator is also visually similar to a typical stochastic indicator but uses a different underlying calculation. This works well as a momentum indicator, and the values are completely unbounded, so the best ways to determine bullish or bearish trends is either by using a crossover or crossunder between the indicator and the midline or to buy or sell the indicator when it reaches a high or low point and starts to fall or rise respectively. I used the zero line for my default version to help determine the bullish or bearish trends. I have also included multiple colors to differentiate between very strong signals and normal signals, so very strong signals are darker in color, and normal signals use lighter colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish! I will have some more new scripts in the next week or so.
Adaptive MACD [LuxAlgo]The Adaptive MACD indicator is an adaptive version of the popular Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator, returning longer-term variations during trending markets and cyclic variations during ranging markets while filtering out noisy variations.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed oscillator contains all the elements within a regular MACD, such as a signal line and histogram. A MACD value above 0 would indicate up-trending variations, while a value under 0 would be indicating down-trending variations.
Just like most oscillators, our proposed Adaptive MACD is able to return divergences with the price.
As we can see in the image above ranging markets will make the Adaptive MACD more conservative toward more cyclical conservations, filtering out both noise and longer-term variations. However, when longer-term variations (such as in a trending market) are prominent the oscillator will conserve longer-term variations.
The R2 Period setting determines when trending/ranging markets are detected, with higher values returning indications for longer intervals.
The fast and slow settings will act similarly to the regular MACD, however, closer values will return more cyclical outputs.
The image above compares our proposed MACD (top) with a regular MACD (bottom), both using fast = 19 and slow = 20 .
🔶 DETAILS
It is common to be solely interested in the trend component when the market is trending, however, during a ranging market it is more common to observe a more prominent cyclical/noise component. We want to be able to preserve one of the components at the appropriate market conditions, however, the regular MACD lack the ability to preserve cyclical component with high accuracy.
The MACD is an IIR bandpass filter. In order to obtain a lower passband bandwidth and a more symmetrical magnitude response (which would allow to conserve more precise cyclical variations) we can directly change the system calculation:
y = (price - price ) × g + ((1 - a1) + (1 - a2)) × y - (1 - a1) × (1 - a2) × y
where:
a1 = 2/(fast + 1)
a2 = 2/(slow + 1)
g = a1 - a2
Using division instead of multiplication on the second feedback weight allows further weighting the 2 samples lagged output, returning a more desirable magnitude response with a higher degree of filtering on both ends of the spectrum as shown in the image below:
We are interested in conserving cycles during ranging markets, and longer-term variations during trending markets, we can do this by interpolating between our two filter coefficients:
α × + (1 - α) ×
where 1 > α > 0 . α is measuring if the market is trending or ranging, with values closer to 1 indicating a trending market. We see that for higher values of α the original coefficient of the MACD is used. The image below shows various magnitude responses given multiple values of α :
We use a rolling R-Squared as α , this measurement has the benefit of indicating if the market is trending or ranging, as well as being constrained within range (0, 1), and having a U-shaped distribution.
If you are interested to learn more about the MACD see:
🔶 SETTINGS
R2 Period: Calculation window of the R-Squared.
Fast: Fast period for the calculation of the Adaptive MACD, lower values will return more noisy results.
Slow: Slow period for the calculation of the Adaptive MACD, higher values will return result with longer-term conserved variations.
Signal: Period of the EMA applied to the Adaptive MACD.

MACD Bands - Multi Timeframe [TradeMaster Lite]We present a customizable MACD indicator, with the following features:
Multi-timeframe
Deviation bands to spot unusual volatility
9 Moving Average types
Conditional coloring and line crossings
👉 What is MACD?
MACD is a classic, trend-following indicator that uses moving averages to identify changes in momentum. It can be used to identify trend changes, overbought and oversold conditions, and potential reversals.
👉 Multi-timeframe:
This feature allows to analyze the same market data on multiple time frames, which can be in help to identify trends and patterns that would not be visible on a single time frame. When using the multi-timeframe feature, it is important to start with the higher time frame and then look for confirmation on the lower time frames. This will help you to avoid false signals. Please note that only timeframes higher than the chart timeframe is supported currently with this feature enabled. Might get updated in the future.
👉 Deviation bands to spot unusual volatility:
Deviation bands are plotted around the Signal line that can be in help to identify periods of unusual volatility. When the MACD line crosses outside of the deviation bands, it suggests that the market is becoming more volatile and a strong trend may form in that direction.
👉 9 Moving Average types can be used in the script. Each type of moving average offers a unique perspective and can be used in different scenarios to identify market trends.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): This calculates the average of a selected range of values, by the number of periods in that range.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average): This takes into account all data available and assigns equal weighting to the values.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): This places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average): This is a faster-moving average that uses a proprietary calculation to reduce the lag in data points.
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): This is even quicker than the DEMA, helping traders respond more quickly to changes in trend.
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average): This moving average applies least squares regression method to determine the future direction of the trend.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): This moving average is designed to reduce lag and improve smoothness, providing quicker signals for short-term market movements.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): This assigns more weight to candles with a high volume, reflecting the true average values more accurately in high volume periods.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): This assigns more weight to the latest data, but not as much as the EMA.
👉 Conditional coloring :
This feature colors the MACD line line based on it's direction and fills the area between the MACD line and Deviation band edges to highlight the potential volatility and the strength of the momentum. This can be useful to identify when the market is trending strongly and when it is in a more neutral or choppy state.
👉 MACD Line - Signal Line crossings:
This is a classic MACD trading signal that occurs when the MACD line crosses above or below the signal line. Crossovers can be used to identify potential trend reversals. This can be a bullish or bearish signal, depending on the direction of the crossover.
👉 General advice
Confirming Signals with other indicators:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management:
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators:
The indicator can be effectively used alongside other technical indicators to create a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Keep in Mind:
Thorough research and backtesting are essential before making any trading decisions. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis and considering market sentiment can be vital factors to take into account in your trading approach.
Limitations:
This is a lagging indicator. Please note that the indicator is using moving averages, which are lagging indicators.
The indicators within the TradeMaster Lite package aim for simplicity and efficiency, while retaining their original purpose and value. Some settings, functions or visuals may be simpler than expected.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

MarketSmith Daily Market IndicatorsMarketSmith Daily Market Indicators is designed to mimic the Daily Market Indicators tab found in MarketSmith. This tab contains 4 different secondary indicators to help gauge the health of the overall market.
This indicator allows you to choose which of the 4 indicators to show, as well as which index to pull data from, Nasdaq or NYSE. There is also a snapshot table showing the following:
# of stock advancing and up volume
# of stocks declining and down volume
# of stock unchanged and unchanged volume
# of stocks making new highs and new lows
Now let's look at the 4 indicators and how they work.
Advance/Decline Line
Plots the number of advancing shares vs the number of declining shares. Heavily weighted index stocks can skew price action, this line helps reveal that and whether most stocks are aligned with the trend.
Short Term Overbought/Oversold Oscillator
A 10-day moving average of the number of stocks moving up in price less the number of stocks moving down in price.
10 Day Moving Average of Up & Down Volume
Two 10 day moving averages to represent the volume of all stocks. Blue line: total volume of all stocks moving up in price. Red line: the total volume of all stocks moving down in price.
10 Day Moving Average of New Highs & New Lows
Two 10-day moving average to represent stocks making new highs and new lows. Blue line: The number of stocks making new price highs. Red line: The number of stocks reaching new lows.
Note this indicator is designed to work on a daily time frame chart. Data typically updates 90 minutes after the close. Data may differ from Marketsmith due to different providers, however the general trends are the same.
Trig-Log Scaled Momentum OscillatorTaylor Series Approximations for Trigonometry:
1. The indicator starts by calculating sine and cosine values of the close price using Taylor Series approximations. These approximations use polynomial terms to estimate the values of these trigonometric functions.
Mathematical Component Formation:
2. The calculated sine and cosine values are then multiplied together. This gives us the primary mathematical component, termed as the 'trigComponent'.
Smoothing Process:
3. To ensure that our indicator is less susceptible to market noise and more reactive to genuine price movements, this 'trigComponent' undergoes a smoothing process using a simple moving average (SMA). The length of this SMA is defined by the user.
Logarithmic Transformation:
4. With our smoothed value, we apply a natural logarithm approximation. Again, this approximation is based on the Taylor expansion. This step ensures that all resultant values are positive and offers a different scale to interpret the smoothed component.
Dynamic Scaling:
5. To make our indicator more readable and comparable over different periods, the logarithmically transformed values are scaled between a range. This range is determined by the highest and lowest values of the transformed component over the user-defined 'lookback' period.
ROC (Rate of Change) Direction:
6. The direction of change in our scaled value is determined. This offers a quick insight into whether our mathematical component is increasing or decreasing compared to the previous value.
Visualization:
7. Finally, the indicator plots the dynamically scaled and smoothed mathematical component on the chart. The color of the plotted line depends on its direction (increasing or decreasing) and its boundary values.
TaLib RSI (ta-lib uses SMA)If you've ever been confused because Ta-Lib RSI differs from TradingView's RSI...

Ultimate Momentum OscillatorThe Ultimate Momentum Oscillator is a tool designed to help traders identify the current trend direction and the momentum of the prices.
This oscillator is composed of one histogram and one line, paired with the two overbought and the two oversold levels.
The histogram is a trend-based algorithm that allows the user to read the market bias with multiple trend lengths combined.
The line is a momentum-based formula that allows traders to identify potential reversal and the speed of the price.
This tool can be used to:
- Identify the current trend direction
- Identify the momentum of the price
- Identify oversold and overbought levels
Relative Strength Volume ComparisonThe Relative Strength Volume Comparison is a powerful tool that can help traders identify the current trend based on volume pressure and potential reversals.
This oscillator is made of two lines and the overbought and oversold levels. Each of these two lines is a relative-strength formula that contains both the famous RSI and CCI formulas, smoothed by a Hull moving average.
The two lines are different for input. The colored line is based just on price and changes color based on the relation with the other line. The second line uses as input an average of three different popular volume indicators: The OBV, the Accumulation/Distribution, and the PVT.
Thanks to this tool, which uses 6 different formulas combined, traders can:
- Identify the current trend direction, based on the color of the area fill and the first colored line
- Identify potential reversal areas thanks to the overbought and oversold levels, customizable in the input section alongside the length and smoothing parameters.
Trend Change DetectorThe trend change detector oscillator is a tool designed to help traders identify the current trend direction paired with the potential reversal zones.
The oscillator is made of multiple parts:
- The colored histogram, that displays the current long-term trend direction (long if above 0, short if below)
- The trend line, which shows the price in relation to the fair value of the current trend
- The reversal zones, which are the area that alarms the traders that the price might reverse soon after having touched them
The indicator can work with three different inputs. In the Source panel, you can choose between "Price", "Price and Volume" and "Ponderated Volume". The price input uses only the price, the price and volume use the average between the price and the ponderated volume, and the ponderated volume shows the indicator working with volume data, with formulas such as the On Balance Volume and the Accumulation-Distribution line.
This indicator can be used both for trend following technique, using the cross of the trend line with the 0-line as signals in conjunction with the bias given by the histogram, and for mean reversal technique thanks to the reversal zones that allow traders to identify potential tops and bottoms.
Extreme Entry with Mean Reversion and Trend FilterThis non-repainting indicator is an improved version of my previous work, a more versatile tool designed to provide traders with dynamic and adaptive entry signals while incorporating a mean reversion and trend filtering mechanism. By combining RSI overbought/oversold, regular divergence and confirmatory momentum oscillator such as CCI or MOM, this indicator generates more precise and timely signals for entering trades.
The indicator offers a comprehensive set of entry conditions for both Buy and Sell entries:
• For Buy entries, it checks for oversold conditions based on RSI levels, and detects bullish divergence patterns while oversold and it identifies upward crossovers in the selected entry signal source (CCI or Momentum).
• Similarly, for Sell entries, it identifies downward crossovers of the CCI or Mom, after the recent overbought conditions, and bearish divergence patterns inside the overbought RSI.
To refine the entry signals even further, the indicator utilizes a mean reversion filter. Traders can choose to display signals that occur inside or outside the upper and lower mean reversion bands:
• Range Entries are indicating potential buying opportunities near the lower band and selling opportunities near the upper band. This is based on the concept of mean reversion, which suggests that prices tend to return to the average when they reach the upper or lower bands. By focusing on these signals, traders can take advantage of price movements that have a higher probability of reversing towards the mean.
• Extreme Entries, on the other hand, represent signals that occur outside of the bands, signaling potential pullbacks during strong trends. By entering positions only at extreme highs or lows, traders can avoid getting caught in the middle of the trend. This approach helps traders capitalize more favorable trading opportunities which have a high reward-risk ratio.
Trend Filter acts as a directional bias for the entry signals. When enabled, long and short entry conditions are filtered based on the relationship between the closing price and the EMA.
Traders have the flexibility to customize, tweak the indicator filter and values in the settings according to their preferences strategies and traded assets, tailoring the signals to their specific needs. The script sets alert conditions to trigger alerts for buy, sell, or both entry signals. This indicator can be used in conjunction with price action or other technical analysis tools for confirmation and better trading decisions.

Bar Color Long / Short Indicator With Advised SL Rev 1This is the Revised Version of Bar Color Long / Short Indicator With Advised SL with some extra features
Overview
This script is a trading indicator named "Bar Color Long / Short Indicator With Advised SL" designed for the TradingView platform. The indicator's primary purpose is to provide entry signals for long and short positions, based on various technical analysis methods. Additionally, the indicator suggests stop-loss levels for both long and short positions.
User Inputs
The indicator has several user inputs, such as:
Length
Smoothing
Multiplier
Show bar colors (ON/OFF)
When the bar colors are turned off, the alert signals for long and short positions will be displayed instead.
Custom Risk Calculation
The script calculates a custom risk level based on a modified version of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) formula. The custom risk level is divided into three categories: low, medium, and high.
Sentiment Score Calculation
The indicator calculates a sentiment score based on a combination of methods resembling EMA (Exponential Moving Average), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and ROC (Rate of Change). The sentiment score is used to determine if the sentiment is positive or negative.
Bollinger Bands Percent and Combined Signal
The Bollinger Bands Percent is calculated, and the custom risk, sentiment score, and Bollinger Bands Percent are combined to generate a new signal. This signal is used in conjunction with EMA10 to determine the bar colors and provide entry signals.
Bar Colors
Based on the combined signal and EMA10, the script determines the bar colors as follows:
Orange: Positive sentiment
Blue: Negative sentiment
Gray: Neutral
Entry Signals and Alerts
When the bar colors are turned off, the indicator displays large green arrow signals for long (buy) positions and red arrow signals for short (sell) positions based on the sentiment and EMA10 conditions. The script also includes alert conditions for long and short signals, which can be used to set up notifications when these signals are triggered in the TradingView platform.
Advised Stop-Loss Levels
The indicator plots stop-loss lines for both long and short positions at the last candle, accompanied by labels showing the advised stop-loss levels in numeric values
Rev 1

MACDh with divergences & impulse system (overlayed on prices)-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Description:
This indicator ( the one on the top panel above ) consists on some lines, arrows and labels drawn over the price bars/candles indicating the detection of regular divergences between price and the classic MACD histogram (shown on the low panel). This script is special because it can be adjusted to fit several criteria when trading divergences filtering them according to the "height" and "width" of the patterns. The script also includes the "extra features" Impulse System and Keltner Channels, which you will hardly find anywhere else in similar classic MACD histogram divergence indicators.
The indicator helps to find trend reversals, and it works on any market, any instrument, any timeframe, and any market condition (except against really strong trends that do not show any other sign of reversion yet).
Please take on consideration that divergences should be taken with caution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of classic Bullish and Bearish divergences:
* Bearish divergences occur in uptrends identifying market tops. A classical or regular bearish divergence occurs when prices reach a new high and then pull back, with an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) dropping below its zero line. Prices stabilize and rally to a higher high, but the oscillator reaches a lower peak than it did on a previous rally.
In the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), in area X (around August 2021), NKE rallied to a new bull market high and MACD-Histogram rallied with it, rising above its previous peak and showing that bulls were extremely strong. In area Y, MACD-H fell below its centerline and at the same time prices punched below the zone between the two moving averages. In area Z, NKE rallied to a new bull market high, but the rally of MACD-H was feeble, reflecting the bulls’ weakness. Its downtick from peak Z completed a bearish divergence, giving a strong sell signal and auguring a nasty bear market.
* Bullish divergences , in the other hand, occur towards the ends of downtrends identifying market bottoms. A classical (also called regular) bullish divergence occurs when prices and an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) both fall to a new low, rally, with the oscillator rising above its zero line, then both fall again. This time, prices drop to a lower low, but the oscillator traces a higher bottom than during its previous decline.
In the example in the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), you see a bearish divergence that signaled the October 2022 bear market bottom, giving a strong buy signal right near the lows. In area A, NKE (weekly charts) appeared in a free fall. The record low A of MACD-H indicated that bears were extremely strong. In area B, MACD-H rallied above its centerline. Notice the brief rally of prices at that moment. In area C, NKE slid to a new bear market low, but MACD-H traced a much more shallow low. Its uptick completed a bullish divergence, giving a strong buy signal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some cool features included in this indicator:
1. This indicator also includes the “ Impulse System ”. The Impulse System is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram, and identifies inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference.
Calculation:
Green Price Bar: (13-period EMA > previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram > previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Red Price Bar: (13-period EMA < previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram < previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Price bars are colored blue when conditions for a Red Price Bar or Green Price Bar are not met. The MACD-Histogram is based on MACD(12,26,9).
The Impulse System works more like a censorship system. Green price bars show that the bulls are in control of both trend and momentum as both the 13-day EMA and MACD-Histogram are rising (you don't have permission to sell). A red price bar indicates that the bears have taken control because the 13-day EMA and MACD Histogram are falling (you don't have permission to buy). A blue price bar indicates mixed technical signals, with neither buying nor selling pressure predominating (either both buying or selling are permitted).
2. Another "extra feature" included here is the " Keltner Channels ". Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
3. It were also included a couple of EMAs.
Everything can be removed from the chart any time.
