This tool is particularly valuable for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe analysis into their strategy, helping them visualize important price levels across different time perspectives
Enhanced TEMA with Decimal PeriodsImagine you have a special type of moving average line called a TEMA (Triple
Moving Average). A TEMA is designed to be even quicker to react to price changes than a regular EMA (Exponential Moving Average), helping traders spot trends faster.
What this script does:
Super-Precise TEMA Length:
Normally, when you set the "length" or "period" for a moving average, you use whole numbers (like 10 days, 20 days).
This script lets you be more precise and use decimal numbers for the TEMA's length (like 26.0 days, or even 26.7 days). This allows for very fine-tuning.
How it gets the "Decimal" EMA part (if you choose to use it):
If you want a TEMA with a length of, say, 26.7:
The script first needs to calculate EMAs with a length of 26.7.
To do this, it cleverly calculates two regular EMAs: one with a length of 26 and another with a length of 27 (the whole numbers just below and above 26.7).
Then, it blends these two EMAs. Since 26.7 is closer to 27, it takes more from the "27-period EMA" and a bit less from the "26-period EMA." This mix gives you an EMA that acts like it has a 26.7 period.
Building the TEMA:
A TEMA isn't just one EMA. It's made by taking an EMA of an EMA, and then an EMA of that. It's like smoothing the line multiple times, but in a special mathematical way to make it faster.
So, this script:
-Calculates the first "decimal EMA" (e.g., for 26.7).
-Calculates another "decimal EMA" of that first EMA line (again, using 26.7).
-Calculates a third "decimal EMA" of the second EMA line (still using 26.7).
Finally, it combines these three EMAs using a special TEMA formula to get the final, quick-reacting TEMA line.
Option to Switch Off Decimals:
There's a setting ("Use Decimal Periods"). If you turn this off, the script will just use regular whole-number EMAs to build the TEMA (it will round down your decimal input, so 26.7 would become 26).
Plotting:
The final "Enhanced TEMA" line is drawn on your price chart.
In Simple Terms:
This script gives you a TEMA (a fast-moving average) that you can set up with very precise decimal lengths (like 26.7 instead of just 26 or 27).
It does this "decimal magic" by smartly blending two regular EMAs. You can also choose to use it like a normal TEMA with whole numbers if you prefer. The goal is to give traders a very responsive trend-following line that can be fine-tuned to a high degree of precision.
Ranging DetectionRange detection study v 0.1
Trying to find ranges on price charts. looking at H1 on EURUSD, the indicator will mark a line at the low and high of the last 10 candles, and mark the background grey if it detects a range - defined by how many candles since last high/low (default 3)
S&P 500 & Normalized CAPE Z-Score AnalyzerThis macro-focused indicator visualizes the historical valuation of the U.S. equity market using the CAPE ratio (Shiller P/E), normalized over its long-term average and standard deviations. It helps traders and investors identify overvaluation and undervaluation zones over time, combining both statistical signals and historical context.
💡 Why It’s Useful
This indicator is ideal for macro traders and long-term investors looking to contextualize equity valuations across decades. It helps identify statistical extremes in valuation by referencing the standard deviation of the CAPE ratio relative to its long-term mean. The overlay of S&P 500 price with valuation zones provides a visual confirmation tool for macro decisions or timing insights.
It includes:
✅ Three display modes:
-S&P 500 (color-coded by CAPE valuation zone)
-Normalized CAPE (vs. long-term mean)
-CAPE Z-Score (standardized measure)
🎯 How to Interpret
Dynamic coloring of the S&P 500 price based on CAPE valuation:
🔴 Z > +2σ → Highly Overvalued
🟠 Z > +1σ → Overvalued
⚪ -1σ < Z < +1σ → Neutral
🟢 Z < -1σ → Undervalued
✅ Z < -2σ → Strong Buy Zone
-Live valuation label showing the current CAPE, Z-score, and zone.
-Macro event shading: major historical events (e.g. Great Depression, Oil Crisis, Dot-com Bubble, COVID Crash) are shaded on the chart for context.
✅ Built-in alerts:
CAPE > +2σ → Potential risk zone
CAPE < -2σ → Potential opportunity zone
📊 Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for:
🧠 Macro traders seeking long-term valuation extremes.
📈 Portfolio managers monitoring systemic valuation risk.
🏛️ Long-term investors timing strategic allocation shifts.
🧪 How It Works
CAPE ratio (Shiller PE) is retrieved from Quandl (MULTPL/SHILLER_PE_RATIO_MONTH).
The script calculates the long-term average and standard deviation of CAPE.
The Z-score is computed as:
(CAPE - Mean) / Standard Deviation
Users can switch between:
S&P 500 chart, color-coded by CAPE valuation zones.
Normalized CAPE, centered around zero (historic mean).
CAPE Z-score, showing statistical positioning directly.
Visual bands represent +1σ, +2σ, -1σ, -2σ thresholds.
You can switch between modes using the “Display” dropdown in the settings panel.

This strategy implements dynamic Fibonacci projections and strict time-window validation to simulate a clean and disciplined trading environment.
🧠 Core Components:
Asian Range Bias Definition: Direction is established between 01:15–02:15 a.m. NY time based on the candle’s close in relation to the midpoint of the Asian session range (18:00–01:15 NY).
Limit Order Execution: Only one trade is placed daily, using a limit order at the Asian range high (for sells) or low (for buys), between 01:15–08:00 a.m. NY.
Fibonacci-Based TP/SL:
Original Mode: TP = 2.25x range, SL = 0.75x range.
Optimized Mode: TP = 1.95x range, SL = 0.65x range.
No Trade After 08:00 NY: If the limit order is not executed before 08:00 a.m. NY, it is canceled.
Fallback Logic at 02:15 NY: If the market direction misaligns with the setup at 02:15 a.m., the system re-evaluates and can re-issue the order.
End-of-Day Closure: All positions are closed at 15:45 NY if still open.
📊 Backtest-Ready Design:
Entries and exits are executed using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions.
Position size is fixed via capital risk allocation ($100 per trade by default).
Only one position can be active at a time, ensuring controlled risk.
📝 Notes:
This strategy is ideal for assets sensitive to the Asian/London session overlap, such as Forex pairs and indices.

Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals
4. Rothko Visualization
Color fields: Background zones represent market states with Rothko-inspired palettes
Glowing line: Lyapunov exponent with intensity reflecting market state
Minimalist design: Focus on essential information without clutter

The "Multi-Level Yearly Divisions" indicator is a visual tool designed for TradingView charts. Its primary purpose is to help traders and analysts visualize and analyze price action within a structured, hierarchical breakdown of the year. It divides each year into progressively smaller, equal time segments, allowing for detailed observation of how markets behave during specific portions of the year, quarters, and even finer sub-divisions.
Yearly Detection: It first identifies the start of each new year on the chart.
Four Levels of Division:
Level 0: Marks the beginning of the year with a distinct line.
Level 1 (Quarters): Divides the entire year into four equal parts (quarters).
Level 2: Each quarter is then further divided into four equal smaller segments.
Level 3: Each of these Level 2 segments is again divided into four equal parts.
Level 4: Finally, each Level 3 segment is divided into four more equal parts.

Multi-Timeframe Session HighlighterWhat is the Multi-Timeframe Session Highlighter?
It’s a simple Pine Script indicator that paints two special candles on your chart, no matter what timeframe you’re looking at. Think of it as a highlighter pen for session starts and ends—can be used for session-based strategies or just keeping an eye on key turning points.
How it works:
Green Bar (Session Open): Marks the exact bar when your chosen higher-timeframe session kicks off. If you select “4H,” on the indicator, you’ll see green on every 4-hour open, even if you’re staring at a 15-minute chart.
Red Bar (Session Close): Highlights the very last lower-timeframe candle immediately before that session wraps up. So on a 1H chart with “Daily” selected, you’ll get a red band on the 23:00 hour before the new daily bar at midnight.
Customizable: Pick your own colors and transparency level to match your chart theme.
Getting started:
Add the indicator to your chart.
In the inputs, select the session timeframe (for example, “240” for 4H or “D” for daily).

HGDA Hany Ghazy Digital Analytics area zone'sIndicator Name: HGDA Hany Ghazy Digital Analytics area zones
Description:
This indicator plots several key price zones based on the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period.
The plotted zones represent dynamic support and resistance levels calculated using specific ratios of the price range (High - Low), as follows:
- Zone 1 (Light Red): Represents an upper resistance zone.
- Zone 2 (Medium Green): Represents a medium support zone.
- Zone 3 (Dark Red): Represents a lower resistance zone.
- Zone 4 (Dark Green): Represents a strong support zone.
Additionally, the indicator plots a yellow "Zero" line representing the midpoint price of the selected period, serving as a balance point for price action.
This indicator is ideal for identifying the overall market trend, as prices typically move from the upper resistance zones (light red) downwards to the end of the wave in the lower zones (dark green). This helps traders better understand wave nature and direction.
Usage:
- The colored zones assist in identifying potential reversal or continuation areas.
- These zones can be used to plan entries, exits, and risk management.
- Default lookback period is 20 bars, adjustable in the settings to suit the timeframe.
Notes:
- This indicator relies on historical price data and does not guarantee market predictions.
- It is recommended to combine it with other indicators and analytical tools for improved trading decisions.

Consecutive Candle CounterConsecutive Condition Counter is a versatile indicator that tracks and visualizes consecutive candles based on user-defined market conditions. It helps traders quickly identify streaks of bullish or bearish signals by counting how many bars in a row satisfy the selected condition.
🔍 Features:
Three selectable conditions via a dropdown:
Up & Down Days: Counts consecutive up or down candles. Each up candle adds +1, each down candle subtracts -1. The counter resets when direction changes.
RSI Signal: Counts how many consecutive bars RSI remains above 70 (+1 per bar) or below 30 (-1 per bar). Resets when RSI moves back to the neutral zone.
SMA Positioning: Counts consecutive bars where price stays above (+1) or below (-1) a Simple Moving Average (SMA). SMA period is user-defined.
📊 Visualization:
Positive streaks are shown in green, negative streaks in red, and neutral values in gray.
Displayed as a histogram below the chart for quick pattern recognition.
⚙️ Inputs:
Choose condition logic from the dropdown.
Configure the RSI period and SMA period as needed.
This tool can be helpful for identifying momentum streaks, overbought/oversold trends, or trend-following behavior in a visually intuitive way.
Clock&Flow MM+InfoThis script is an indicator that helps you visualize various moving averages directly on the price chart and gain some additional insights.
Here's what it essentially does:
Displays Different Moving Averages: You can choose to see groups of moving averages with different periods, set to nominal cyclical durations. You can also opt to configure them for instruments traded with classic or extended trading hours (great for Futures), and they'll adapt to your chosen timeframe.
Colored Bands: It allows you to add colored bands to the background of the chart that change weekly or daily, helping you visualize time cycles. You can customize the band colors.
Information Table: A small table appears in a corner of the chart, indicating which cycle the moving averages belong to (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), corresponding to the timeframe you are using on the chart.
Customization: You can easily enable or disable the various groups of moving averages or the colored bands through the indicator's settings.
It's a useful tool for traders who use moving averages to identify trends and support/resistance levels, and who want a quick overview of market cycles.
Questo script è un indicatore che aiuta a visualizzare diverse medie mobili direttamente sul grafico dei prezzi e a ottenere alcune informazioni aggiuntive.
In pratica, fa queste cose:
Mostra diverse medie mobili: Puoi scegliere di vedere gruppi di medie mobili con periodi diversi impostati sulle durate cicliche nominali. Puoi scegliere se impostarle per uno strumento quotato con orario di negoziazione classico o esteso (ottimo per i Futures) e si adattano al tuo timeframe).
Bande colorate: Ti permette di aggiungere delle bande colorate sullo sfondo del grafico che cambiano ogni settimana o ogni giorno, per aiutarti a visualizzare i cicli temporali. Puoi scegliere il colore delle bande.
Tabella informativa: In un angolo del grafico, compare una piccola tabella che indica a quale ciclo appartengono le medie mobili (giornaliero, settimanale, mensile, ecc.) e corrispondono in base al timeframe che stai usando sul grafico.
Personalizzazione: Puoi facilmente attivare o disattivare i vari gruppi di medie mobili o le bande colorate tramite le impostazioni dell'indicatore.
È uno strumento utile per i trader che usano le medie mobili per identificare trend e supporti/resistenze, e che vogliono avere un colpo d'occhio sui cicli di mercato.
LANZ Strategy 2.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 2.0 — Structural Breakout Logic with Dynamic Swing Protection
LANZ Strategy 2.0 is a precision-focused backtesting system built for intraday traders who rely on structural confirmations before the London session to guide directional bias. This tool uses smart swing detection, risk-defined position sizing, and strict time-based execution to simulate real trading conditions with clarity and control.
🧠 Core Components:
Structural Confirmation (Trend & BoS): Detects trend direction and break of structure (BoS) using a three-swing logic, aligning trade entries with valid structural movement.
Time-Based Execution: Trades are triggered exclusively at 02:00 a.m. New York time, ensuring disciplined and repeatable intraday testing.
Swing-Based SL Models: Traders can select between three stop-loss protection types:
First Swing: Most recent structural level
Second Swing: Prior level
Full Coverage: All recent swing levels + configurable pip buffer
Dynamic TP Calculation: Take-Profit is projected as a risk-based multiple (RR), fully adjustable via input.
Capital-Based Risk Management: Risk is defined as a percentage of a fixed account size (e.g., $100 per trade from $10,000), and lot size is automatically calculated based on SL distance.
Fallback Entry Logic: If structural breakout is present but trend is not confirmed, a secondary entry is triggered.
End-of-Session Management: Any open trades are automatically closed at 11:45 a.m. NY time, with optional manual labeling or review.
📊 Visual Features (Optional in Indicator Version):
(Note: Visuals apply to the indicator version of LANZ 2.0, not this backtest script)
Swing level labels (1st, 2nd) and dynamic SL/TP lines.
Real-time session coloring for clarity: Pre-London, Entry Window, and NY Close.
Outcome labels: +RR, -RR, or net % at close.
Auto-cleanup of previous drawings for a clean chart per session.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects last trend and BoS using swing logic before 02:00 a.m. NY.
At 02:00 a.m., evaluates directional bias and executes BUY or SELL if confirmed.
Applies selected SL logic (1st, 2nd, or full swing protection).
Sets TP based on the RR multiplier.
Closes the trade either on SL, TP, or at 11:45 a.m. NY manually.
🔔 Alerts:
Time-of-day alert at 02:00 a.m. NY to monitor execution.
Can be extended to cover SL/TP triggers or new BoS events.
📝 Notes:
Designed for backtesting precision and discretionary decision-making.
Ideal for Forex pairs, indices, or assets active during the London session.
Fully customizable: session timing, swing logic, SL buffer, and RR.

Tight Range Display with Background🌟 Tight Range Transparency Display with Background
What Is This Indicator?
Hey traders! Ever wanted a simple way to spot those quiet, low-volatility moments in the market that often signal a big move is coming? The Tight Range Transparency Display with Background does exactly that! This indicator highlights periods where the price is moving in a tight range—think of it as the calm before the storm. It paints the chart background blue to show these zones, with the shade getting darker the tighter the range becomes. It’s like having a visual cue to say, “Hey, something might be brewing here!”
Why You’ll Love It
Spot Key Moments Easily: The blue background makes it super easy to see when the market is in a tight range, which often happens before breakouts or big trends.
Customizable Settings: You can tweak the range thresholds to match your trading style—whether you’re looking for super tight zones or slightly broader ones.
Visual Clarity: The background gets darker when the range is tighter, giving you a quick sense of how compressed the price action is.
Perfect for Any Market: Works on stocks, forex, crypto, or any chart you trade, across any timeframe.
How to Use It
Add It to Your Chart:
Just copy this script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and hit "Add to Chart." It’ll overlay right on your price chart.
Tweak the Settings:
Open the indicator settings and use the dropdown menus to pick your preferred "Tight Range %" and "Wide Range %." For example, set a Tight Range % of 2.0% to catch smaller ranges, or go higher like 10.0% for broader ones.
You can also adjust the ATR Period (default is 5) to make the indicator more or less sensitive to recent price swings.
Watch for the Blue Background:
When the price enters a tight range, the chart background turns blue. The darker the blue, the tighter the range—meaning a potential breakout could be closer!
Trade Smarter:
Use these tight range zones to prepare for potential breakouts. For example, if you see a dark blue background, it might be a good time to watch for a big price move.
Pair this with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume spikes to confirm your trades.
Who Is This For?
Swing Traders: Perfect for spotting consolidation zones before a big swing.
Breakout Traders: Tight ranges often lead to breakouts—use this to time your entries.
Smart Money Followers: If you’re into smart money concepts, tight ranges can signal accumulation or distribution phases.
Beginners & Pros Alike: It’s easy to use for new traders but powerful enough for seasoned pros.
Real-World Example
Imagine you’re trading a stock on a 1-hour chart. You notice the background turns blue, and it’s getting darker over a few bars. This tells you the price range is tightening—maybe the stock is consolidating after a big move. You check your other indicators, see a volume spike, and spot a breakout above resistance. Boom! You catch the next big trend, all because this indicator helped you focus on the right moment.
Tips for Best Results
Try Different Timeframes: Tight ranges on a 15-minute chart might signal short-term moves, while a daily chart could highlight bigger trends.
Adjust for Your Market: For volatile markets like crypto, you might want a higher Tight Range % (e.g., 10.0%). For calmer markets like forex, try a lower setting (e.g., 2.0%).
Combine with Other Tools: Use this alongside trendlines, moving averages, or volume indicators to confirm your setups.
Why I Made This
I created this indicator because I wanted a simple, visual way to spot those critical low-volatility zones without cluttering my chart. The dynamic background color makes it intuitive to see when the market is “coiling up” for a potential move. I hope it helps you find better trading opportunities just like it does for me!

MestreDoFOMO Future Projection BoxMestreDoFOMO Future Projection Box - Description & How to Use
Description
The "MestreDoFOMO Future Projection Box" is a TradingView indicator tailored for crypto traders (e.g., BTC/USDT on 1H, 4H, or 1D timeframes). It visualizes current price ranges, projects future levels, and confirms trends using semi-transparent boxes. With labeled price levels and built-in alerts, it’s a simple yet powerful tool for identifying support, resistance, and potential price targets.
How It Works
Blue Box (Current Channel): Shows the recent price range over the last 10 bars (adjustable). The top is the highest high plus an ATR buffer, and the bottom is the lowest low minus the buffer. Labels display exact levels (e.g., "Top: 114000", "Bottom: 102600").
Green Box (Future Projection): Projects the price range 10 bars ahead (adjustable) based on the trend slope of the moving average. Labels show "Proj Top" and "Proj Bottom" for future targets.
Orange Box (Moving Average): Traces a 50-period EMA (adjustable) to confirm the trend. An upward slope signals a bullish trend; a downward slope signals a bearish trend. A label shows the current MA value (e.g., "MA: 105000").
Alerts: Triggers when the price nears the projected top or bottom, helping you catch breakouts or retracements.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Apply "MestreDoFOMO Future Projection Box" to your chart in TradingView.
Interpret the Trend: Check the orange box’s slope—upward for bullish, downward for bearish.
Identify Key Levels: Use the blue box’s top as resistance and bottom as support. On a 4H chart, if the top is 114,000, expect resistance; if the bottom is 102,600, expect support.
Plan Targets: Use the green box for future targets—top for profit-taking (e.g., 114,000), bottom for stop-loss or buying (e.g., 102,600).
Set Alerts: Enable alerts for "Near Upper Projection" or "Near Lower Projection" to get notified when the price hits key levels.
Trade Examples:
Bullish: If the price breaks above the blue box top (e.g., 114,000), buy with a target at the green box top. Set a stop-loss below the green box bottom.
Bearish: If the price rejects at the blue box top and drops below the orange MA, short with a target at the blue box bottom.
Customize: Adjust the lookback period, projection bars, ATR multiplier, and MA length in the settings to fit your trading style.
Tips
Use on 1H for short-term trades, 4H for swing trades, or 1D for long-term trends.
Combine with volume or RSI to confirm signals.
Validate levels with market structure (e.g., candlestick patterns).
10 Monday's 1H Avg Range + 30-Day Daily RangeWhat This Script Does
This indicator is designed for traders who want to monitor volatility and range behavior at the start of the trading week . It focuses specifically on the first four 15-minute candles of each Monday and tracks their combined high-low range over time.
How It Works
Monday 1H Range Detection:
Each week, it automatically detects and highlights the first 4 candles of Monday on a 15-minute chart (1 hour total). It calculates the range between the highest high and lowest low of these candles.
10-Week Average of Monday 1H Ranges:
It stores and averages the last 10 such ranges, displaying this average in a table for weekly comparison.
30-Day Daily Range Average:
Separately, it calculates the average daily range (high – low) of the last 30 daily candles. This value helps put the Monday 1H range into broader context and can guide Stop Loss or TP planning.
Dynamic Labeling & Visual Highlights:
The script visually highlights the first 4 candles of Monday and places a label showing the pip range once the 4 candles have completed. It also updates a small table with the two averages described above.
How to Use It
Use it on the 15-minute timeframe to activate the Monday 1H logic.
Compare the current week’s Monday range to the 10-week average to see if volatility is increasing or decreasing.
Use the 30-day daily range to determine if the Monday opening movement is unusually large or small.
Consider adjusting trade entries, stops, or targets if the Monday range is disproportionately large compared to recent historical behavior.
What Makes It Original?
This is not a typical volatility indicator like ATR or standard deviation. Instead, it’s a purpose-built tool combining:
Time-specific behavior (first hour of the week),
Historical contextualization (10-week average tracking),
A dual-timeframe analysis (15-min + daily),
A user-friendly table and visual interface.
This script helps intraday or swing traders spot abnormal volatility early in the week and adjust their strategies accordingly—especially in fast-moving Forex or Index markets.
Triple Stochastic Confluence by AtallaTriple Stochastic Confluence by Atalla - Indicator Summary
Overview
The "Triple Stochastic Confluence by Atalla" is a technical indicator for TradingView that identifies potential trading opportunities using the confluence of three Stochastic oscillators with different timeframes. The indicator focuses exclusively on the %D lines (signal lines) of the Stochastics.
Key Components
Three Stochastic Oscillators
Short-term Stochastic: Period 9, %K Smoothing 1, %D Period 3
Medium-term Stochastic: Period 14, %K Smoothing 1, %D Period 3
Long-term Stochastic: Period 60, %K Smoothing 1, %D Period 10
Visual Display
White lines for the first two Stochastics (%D lines)
Yellow line for the third (long-term) Stochastic (%D line)
Background color changes to highlight trading opportunities:
Yellow background: Bullish signal
Red background: Bearish signal
Trading Signals Logic
Bullish Signal (Yellow Background)
A bullish signal occurs when any Stochastic %D line is in the oversold zone (≤25%) while at least one of the other %D lines is in the overbought zone (≥75%).
Bearish Signal (Red Background)
A bearish signal occurs when any Stochastic %D line is in the overbought zone (≥75%) while at least one of the other %D lines is in the oversold zone (≤25%).
Configurable Parameters
Stochastic periods and smoothing values
Overbought level (default: 75%)
Oversold level (default: 25%)
Alert Conditions
The indicator includes alert conditions for both bullish and bearish confluence signals, allowing users to set up automated notifications for trading opportunities.
Trading Philosophy
This indicator leverages the concept of momentum divergence across different timeframes. When oscillators at different timeframes show opposing extreme readings (one in oversold and another in overbought), it may indicate a potential reversal point in the market. The indicator's strength lies in identifying these confluences automatically and providing clear visual signals.
