Best SMA FinderThis script, Best SMA Finder, is a tool designed to identify the most robust simple moving average (SMA) length for a given chart, based on historical backtest performance. It evaluates hundreds of SMA values (from 10 to 1000) and selects the one that provides the best balance between profitability, consistency, and trade frequency. What it does: The script performs individual backtests for each SMA length using either "Long Only" or "Buy & Sell" logic, as selected by the user. For each tested SMA, it computes: - Total number of trades - Profit Factor (total profits / total losses) - Win Rate - A composite Robustness Score, which integrates Profit Factor, number of trades (log-scaled), and win rate. Only SMA configurations that meet the user-defined minimum trade count are considered valid. Among all valid candidates, the script selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score and plots it on the chart. How to use it: - Choose the strategy type: "Long Only" or "Buy & Sell" - Set the minimum trade count to filter out statistically irrelevant results - Enable or disable the summary stats table (default: enabled) The selected optimal SMA is plotted on the chart in blue. The optional table in the top-right corner shows the corresponding SMA length, trade count, Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Robustness Score for transparency. Key Features: - Exhaustive SMA optimization across 991 values - Customizable trade direction and minimum trade filters - In-chart visualization of results via table and plotted optimal SMA - Uses a custom robustness formula to rank SMA lengths Use cases: Ideal for traders who want to backtest and auto-select a historically effective SMA without manual trial-and-error. Useful for swing and trend-following strategies across different timeframes. 📌 Limitations: - Not a full trading strategy with position sizing or stop-loss logic - Only one entry per direction at a time is allowed - Designed for exploration and optimization, not as a ready-to-trade system This script is open-source and built entirely from original code and logic. It does not replicate any closed-source script or reuse significant external open-source components.

Market Manipulation Index (MMI)The Composite Manipulation Index (CMI) is a structural integrity tool that quantifies how chaotic or orderly current market conditions are, with the aim of detecting potentially manipulated or unstable environments. It blends two distinct mathematical models that assess price behavior in terms of both structural rhythm and predictability. 1. Sine-Fit Deviation Model: This component assumes that ideal, low-manipulation price behavior resembles a smooth oscillation, such as a sine wave. It generates a synthetic sine wave using a user-defined period and compares it to actual price movement over an adaptive window. The error between the real price and this synthetic wave—normalized by price variance—forms the Sine-Based Manipulation Index. A high error indicates deviation from natural rhythm, suggesting structural disorder. 2. Predictability-Based Model: The second component estimates how well current price can be predicted using recent price lags. A two-variable rolling linear regression is computed between the current price and two lagged inputs (close and close ). If the predicted price diverges from the actual price, this error—also normalized by price variance—reflects unpredictability. High prediction error implies a more manipulated or erratic environment. 3. Adaptive Mechanism: Both components are calculated using an adaptive smoothing window based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows the indicator to respond proportionally to market volatility. During high volatility, the analysis window expands to avoid over-sensitivity; during calm periods, it contracts for better responsiveness. 4. Composite Output: The two normalized metrics are averaged to form the final CMI value, which is then optionally smoothed further. The output is scaled between 0 and 1: 0 indicates a highly structured, orderly market. 1 indicates complete structural breakdown or randomness. Suggested Interpretation: CMI < 0.3: Market is clean and structured. Trend-following or breakout strategies may perform better. CMI > 0.7: Market is structurally unstable. Choppy price action, fakeouts, or manipulative behavior may dominate. CMI 0.3–0.7: Transitional zone. Caution or reduced risk may be warranted. This indicator is designed to serve as a contextual filter, helping traders assess whether current market conditions are conducive to structured strategies, or if discretion and defense are more appropriate.

Dual-Phase Trend Regime Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview Trend Regime: Dual-Phase Oscillator (Zeiierman) is a volatility-sensitive trend classification tool that dynamically switches between two oscillators, one optimized for low volatility, the other for high volatility. By analyzing standard deviation-based volatility states and applying correlation-derived oscillators, this indicator reveals not only whether the market is trending but also what kind of trend regime it is in —Bullish or Bearish —and how that regime reacts to market volatility. █ Its Uniqueness Most trend indicators assume a static market environment; they don't adjust their logic when the underlying volatility shifts. That often leads to false signals in choppy conditions or late entries in trending phases. Trend Regime: Dual-Phase Oscillator solves this by introducing volatility-aware adaptability. It switches between a slow, stable oscillator in calm markets and a fast, reactive oscillator in volatile ones, ensuring the right sensitivity at the right time. █ How It Works ⚪ Volatility State Engine Calculates returns-based volatility using standard deviation of price change Smooths the current volatility with a moving average Builds a volatility history window and performs median clustering to determine typical "Low" and "High" volatility zones Dynamically assigns the chart to one of two internal volatility regimes: Low or High ⚪ Dual Oscillators In Low Volatility, it uses a Slow Trend Oscillator (longer lookback, smoother) In High Volatility, it switches to a Fast Trend Oscillator (shorter lookback, responsive) Both oscillators use price-time correlation as a measure of directional strength The output is normalized between 0 and 1, allowing for consistent interpretation ⚪ Trend Regime Classification The active oscillator is compared to a neutral threshold (0.5) If above: Bullish Regime, if below: Bearish Regime, else: Neutral The background and markers update to reflect regime changes visually Triangle markers highlight bullish/bearish regime shifts █ How to Use ⚪ Identify Current Trend Regime Use the background color and chart table to immediately recognize whether the market is trending up or down. ⚪ Trade Regime Shifts Use triangle markers (▲ / ▼) to spot fresh regime entries, which are ideal for confirming breakouts within trends. ⚪ Pullback Trading Look for pullbacks when the trend is in a stable condition and the slow oscillator remains consistently near the upper or lower threshold. Watch for moments when the fast oscillator retraces back toward the midline, or slightly above/below it — this often signals a potential pullback entry in the direction of the prevailing trend. █ Settings Explained Length (Slow Trend Oscillator) – Used in calm conditions. Longer = smoother signals Length (Fast Trend Oscillator) – Used in volatile conditions. Shorter = more responsive Volatility Refit Interval – Controls how often the system recalculates Low/High volatility levels Current Volatility Period – Lookback used for immediate volatility measurement Volatility Smoothing Length – Applies an SMA to the raw volatility to reduce noise ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

Nasan Risk Score & Postion Size Estimator** THE RISK SCORE AND POSITION SIZE WILL ONLY BE CALCUTAED ON DIALY TIMEFRAME NOT IN OTHER TIMEFRAMES. The typically accepted generic rule for risk management is not to risk more than 1% - 2 % of the capital in any given trade. It has its own basis however it does not take into account the stocks historic & current performance and does not consider the traders performance metrics (like win rate, profit ratio). The Nasan Risk Score & Position size calculator takes into account all the listed parameters into account and estimates a Risk %. The position size is calculated using the estimated risk % , current ATR and a dynamically adjusted ATR multiple (ATR multiple is adjusted based on true range's volatility and stocks relative performance). It follows a series of calculations: Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score = (Min Risk)^a + b* Min Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Max ATR% Max Risk = ( 5 year weighted avg Annual Stock Return - 5 year weighted avg Annual Bench Return) / 5 year weighted avg Annual Min ATR% The min and max return is calculated based on stocks excess return in comparison to the Benchmark return and adjusted for volatility of the stock. When a stock underperforms the benchmark, the default is, it does not calculate a position size , however if we opt it to calculate it will use 1% for Min Risk% and 2% for Max Risk% but all the other calculations and scaling remain the same. Rationale: Stocks outperforming their benchmark with lower volatility (ATR%) score higher. A stock with high returns but excessive volatility gets penalized. This ensures volatility-adjusted performance is emphasized rather than absolute returns. Depending on the risk preference aggressive or conservative Aggressive Risk Scaling: a = max (m, n) and b = min (m, n) Conservative Scaling: a = min (m, n) and b = max (m, n) where n = traders win % /100 and m = 1 - (1/ (1+ profit ratio)) A default of 50% is used for win factor and 1.5 for profit ratio. Aggressive risk scaling increases exposure when the strategy's strongest factor is favorable. Conservative risk scaling ensures more stable risk levels by focusing on the weaker factor. The Unadjusted Nasan risk is score is further refined based on a tolerance factor which is based on the stocks maximum annual drawdown and the trader's maximum draw down tolerance. Tolerance = /100 The correction factor (Tolerance) adjusts the risk score based on downside risk. Here's how it works conceptually: The formula calculates how much the stock's actual drawdown exceeds your acceptable limit. If stocks maximum Annual drawdown is smaller than Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown % , this results in a positive correction factor (indicating the drawdown is within your acceptable range and increases the unadjusted score. If stocks maximum Annual drawdown exceeds Trader's maximum acceptable drawdown %, the correction factor will decrease (indicating that the downside risk is greater than what you are comfortable with, so it will adjust the risk exposure). Once the Risk Score (numerically equal to Risk %) The position size is calculated based on the current market conditions. Nasan Risk Score (Risk%) = Unadjusted Nasan Risk Score * Tolerance. Position Size = (Capital * Risk% )/ ATR-Multiplier * ATR The ATR Multiplier is dynamically adjusted based on the stocks recent relative performance and the variability of the true range itself. It would range between 1 - 3.5. The multiplier widens when conditions are not favorable decreasing the position size and increases position size when conditions are favorable. This Calculation /Estimate Does not give you a very different result than the arbitrary 1% - 2%. However it does fine tune the % based on sock performance, traders performance and tolerance level.

Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T TensionOverview The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension Bands indicator dynamically adapts to market conditions using an advanced statistical model based on the Student-T distribution. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, this indicator leverages elastic volume-weighted averaging to compute real-time dispersion and location parameters, making it highly responsive to volatility changes while maintaining robustness against price fluctuations. This methodology is inspired by incremental calculation techniques for weighted mean and variance, as outlined in the paper by Tony Finch: 📄 "Incremental Calculation of Weighted Mean and Variance" . Key Features ✅ Adaptive Volatility Estimation – Uses an exponentially weighted Student-T model to dynamically adjust band width. ✅ Volume-Weighted Mean & Dispersion – Incorporates real-time volume weighting, ensuring a more accurate representation of market sentiment. ✅ High-Timeframe Volume Normalization – Provides an option to smooth volume impact by referencing a higher timeframe’s cumulative volume, reducing noise from high-variability bars. ✅ Customizable Tension Parameters – Configurable standard deviation multipliers (σ) allow for fine-tuned volatility sensitivity. ✅ %B-Like Oscillator for Relative Price Positioning – The main indicator is in form of a dedicated oscillator pane that normalizes price position within the sigma ranges, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential momentum shifts. ✅ Robust Statistical Foundation – Utilizes kurtosis-based degree-of-freedom estimation, enhancing responsiveness across different market conditions. How It Works Volume-Weighted Elastic Mean (eμ) – Computes a dynamic mean price using an elastic weighted moving average approach, influenced by trade volume, if not volume detected in series, study takes true range as replacement. Dispersion (eσ) via Student-T Distribution – Instead of assuming a fixed normal distribution, the bands adapt to heavy-tailed distributions using kurtosis-driven degrees of freedom. Incremental Calculation of Variance – The indicator applies Tony Finch’s incremental method for computing weighted variance instead of arithmetic sum's of fixed bar window or arrays, improving efficiency and numerical stability. Tension Calculation – There are 2 dispersion custom "zones" that are computed based on the weighted mean and dynamically adjusted standard student-t deviation. %B-Like Oscillator Calculation – The oscillator normalizes the price within the band structure, with values between 0 and 1: * 0.00 → Price is at the lower band (-2σ). * 0.50 → Price is at the volume-weighted mean (eμ). * 1.00 → Price is at the upper band (+2σ). * Readings above 1.00 or below 0.00 suggest extreme movements or possible breakouts. Recommended Usage For scalping in lower timeframes, it is recommended to use the fixed α Decay Factor, it is in raw format for better control, but you can easily make a like of transformation to N-bar size window like in EMA-1 bar dividing 2 / decayFactor or like an RMA dividing 1 / decayFactor. The HTF selector catch quite well Higher Time Frame analysis, for example using a Daily chart and using as HTF the 200-day timeframe, weekly or monthly. Suitable for trend confirmation, breakout detection, and mean reversion plays. The %B-like oscillator helps gauge momentum strength and detect divergences in price action if user prefer a clean chart without bands, this thanks to pineScript v6 force overlay feature. Ideal for markets with volume-driven momentum shifts (e.g., futures, forex, crypto). Customization Parameters Fixed α Decay Factor – Controls the rate of volume weighting influence for an approximation EWMA approach instead of using sum of series or arrays, making the code lightweight & computing fast O(1). HTF Volume Smoothing – Instead of a fixed denominator for computing α , a volume sum of the last 2 higher timeframe closed candles are used as denominator for our α weight factor. This is useful to review mayor trends like in daily, weekly, monthly. Tension Multipliers (±σ) – Adjusts sensitivity to dispersion sigma parameter (volatility). Oscillator Zone Fills – Visual cues for price positioning within the cloud range. Posible Interpretations As market within indicators relay on each individual edge, this are just some key ideas to glimpse how the indicator could be interpreted by the user: 📌 Price inside bands – Market is considered somehow "stable"; price is like resting from tension or "charging batteries" for volume spike moves. 📌 Price breaking outer bands – Potential breakout or extreme movement; watch for reversals or continuation from strong moves. Market is already in tension or generating it. 📌 Narrowing Bands – Decreasing volatility; expect contraction before expansion. 📌 Widening Bands – Increased volatility; prepare for high probability pull-back moves, specially to the center location of the bands (the mean) or the other side of them. 📌 Oscillator is just the interpretation of the price normalized across the Student-T distribution fitting "curve" using the location parameter, our Elastic Volume weighted mean (eμ) fixed at 0.5 value. Final Thoughts The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension indicator provides a powerful, volume-sensitive alternative to traditional volatility bands. By integrating real-time volume analysis with an adaptive statistical model, incremental variance computation, in a relative price oscillator that can be overlayed in the chart as bands, it offers traders an edge in identifying momentum shifts, trend strength, and breakout potential. Think of the distribution as a relative "tension" rubber band in which price never leave so far alone.

Dynamic RSI Regression Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview The Dynamic RSI Regression Bands (Zeiierman) is a regression channel tool that dynamically resets based on RSI overbought and oversold conditions. It adapts to trend shifts in real time, creating a highly responsive regression framework that visualizes market sentiment and directional momentum with every RSI-triggered event. Unlike static regression models, this indicator recalibrates its slope and deviation bands only after the RSI crosses predefined thresholds, helping traders pinpoint new phases of momentum, exhaustion, or reversal. You’re not just measuring the trend — you’re tracking when and where the trend deserves to be re-evaluated. █ The Assumption: "A major momentum shift (RSI crossing OB/OS) signals a potential regime change, and thus, the trend model should be recalibrated from that point." Instead of using a fixed-length regression (which assumes trend relevance over a static window), this script resets the regression calculation every time RSI crosses into extreme territory. The underlying idea is that extreme RSI levels often represent emotional peaks in market behavior and are statistically likely to be followed by a new price structure. █ How It Works ⚪ RSI-Based Channel Reset RSI is monitored continuously If RSI crosses above the Overbought level, the indicator resets and starts a new regression channel If RSI crosses below the Oversold level, the same reset logic applies These events act as “anchor points” for dynamic trend analysis ⚪ Regression Channel Logic A custom linear regression is calculated from the RSI reset point forward The lookback grows with each bar after the reset, up to a user-defined max Regression lines are drawn from the reset point to the current bar ⚪ Standard Deviation Bands Upper and lower bands are plotted around the regression line using the standard deviation These serve as dynamic volatility envelopes, great for spotting breakouts or reversals ⚪ Rejection Markers If price hits the upper/lower band and then closes back inside it, a rejection marker is plotted Helps visualize failed breakouts and areas of absorption or reversal pressure █ How to Use ⚪ Detect Trend Shifts Use the RSI resets to identify when the trend might be starting fresh. ⚪ Watch the Bands for Volatility Extremes Use the outer bands as soft areas of potential reversal or momentum breakout. ⚪ Spot Rejections for Potential Entry Signals If price moves outside a band but then quickly returns inside, it often means the breakout failed, and price may reverse. █ Settings Explained RSI Length – How many bars RSI uses. Shorter = faster. OB / OS Levels – Crossing these triggers a regression reset. Base Regression Length – Max number of bars regression can use post-reset. StdDev Multiplier – Controls band width from the regression line. Min Bars After Reset – Ensures channel doesn’t form immediately; waits for structure. Show Reset Markers – Triangles mark where RSI crossed OB/OS. Show Rejection Markers – Circles mark where the price rejected the channel edge. ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

Machine Learning RSI ║ BullVisionOverview: Introducing the Machine Learning RSI with KNN Adaptation – a cutting-edge momentum indicator that blends the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) with machine learning principles. By leveraging K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), this indicator aims at identifying historical patterns that resemble current market behavior and uses this context to refine RSI readings with enhanced sensitivity and responsiveness. Unlike traditional RSI models, which treat every market environment the same, this version adapts in real-time based on how similar past conditions evolved, offering an analytical edge without relying on predictive assumptions. Key Features: 🔁 KNN-Based RSI Refinement This indicator uses a machine learning algorithm (K-Nearest Neighbors) to compare current RSI and price action characteristics to similar historical conditions. The resulting RSI is weighted accordingly, producing a dynamically adjusted value that reflects historical context. 📈 Multi-Feature Similarity Analysis Pattern similarity is calculated using up to five customizable features: RSI level RSI momentum Volatility Linear regression slope Price momentum Users can adjust how many features are used to tailor the behavior of the KNN logic. 🧠 Machine Learning Weight Control The influence of the machine learning model on the final RSI output can be fine-tuned using a simple slider. This lets you blend traditional RSI and machine learning-enhanced RSI to suit your preferred level of adaptation. 🎛️ Adaptive Filtering Additional smoothing options (Kalman Filter, ALMA, Double EMA) can be applied to the RSI, offering better visual clarity and helping to reduce noise in high-frequency environments. 🎨 Visual & Accessibility Settings Custom color palettes, including support for color vision deficiencies, ensure that trend coloring remains readable for all users. A built-in neon mode adds high-contrast visuals to improve RSI visibility across dark or light themes. How It Works: Similarity Matching with KNN: At each candle, the current RSI and optional market characteristics are compared to historical bars using a KNN search. The algorithm selects the closest matches and averages their RSI values, weighted by similarity. The more similar the pattern, the greater its influence. Feature-Based Weighting: Similarity is determined using normalized values of the selected features, which gives a more refined result than RSI alone. You can choose to use only 1 (RSI) or up to all 5 features for deeper analysis. Filtering & Blending: After the machine learning-enhanced RSI is calculated, it can be optionally smoothed using advanced filters to suppress short-term noise or sharp spikes. This makes it easier to evaluate RSI signals in different volatility regimes. Parameters Explained: 📊 RSI Settings: Set the base RSI length and select your preferred smoothing method from 10+ moving average types (e.g., EMA, ALMA, TEMA). 🧠 Machine Learning Controls: Enable or disable the KNN engine Select how many nearest neighbors to compare (K) Choose the number of features used in similarity detection Control how much the machine learning engine affects the RSI calculation 🔍 Filtering Options: Enable one of several advanced smoothing techniques (Kalman Filter, ALMA, Double EMA) to adjust the indicator’s reactivity and stability. 📏 Threshold Levels: Define static overbought/oversold boundaries or reference dynamically adjusted thresholds based on historical context identified by the KNN algorithm. 🎨 Visual Enhancements: Select between trend-following or impulse coloring styles. Customize color palettes to accommodate different types of color blindness. Enable neon-style effects for visual clarity. Use Cases: Swing & Trend Traders Can use the indicator to explore how current RSI readings compare to similar market phases, helping to assess trend strength or potential turning points. Intraday Traders Benefit from adjustable filters and fast-reacting smoothing to reduce noise in shorter timeframes while retaining contextual relevance. Discretionary Analysts Use the adaptive OB/OS thresholds and visual cues to supplement broader confluence zones or market structure analysis. Customization Tips: Higher Volatility Periods: Use more neighbors and enable filtering to reduce noise. Lower Volatility Markets: Use fewer features and disable filtering for quicker RSI adaptation. Deeper Contextual Analysis: Increase KNN lookback and raise the feature count to refine pattern recognition. Accessibility Needs: Switch to Deuteranopia or Monochrome mode for clearer visuals in specific color vision conditions. Final Thoughts: The Machine Learning RSI combines familiar momentum logic with statistical context derived from historical similarity analysis. It does not attempt to predict price action but rather contextualizes RSI behavior with added nuance. This makes it a valuable tool for those looking to elevate traditional RSI workflows with adaptive, research-driven enhancements.

Half Causal EstimatorOverview The Half Causal Estimator is a specialized filtering method that provides responsive averages of market variables (volume, true range, or price change) with significantly reduced time delay compared to traditional moving averages. It employs a hybrid approach that leverages both historical data and time-of-day patterns to create a timely representation of market activity while maintaining smooth output. Core Concept Traditional moving averages suffer from time lag, which can delay signals and reduce their effectiveness for real-time decision making. The Half Causal Estimator addresses this limitation by using a non-causal filtering method that incorporates recent historical data (the causal component) alongside expected future behavior based on time-of-day patterns (the non-causal component). This dual approach allows the filter to respond more quickly to changing market conditions while maintaining smoothness. The name "Half Causal" refers to this hybrid methodology—half of the data window comes from actual historical observations, while the other half is derived from time-of-day patterns observed over multiple days. By incorporating these "future" values from past patterns, the estimator can reduce the inherent lag present in traditional moving averages. How It Works The indicator operates through several coordinated steps. First, it stores and organizes market data by specific times of day (minutes/hours). Then it builds a profile of typical behavior for each time period. For calculations, it creates a filtering window where half consists of recent actual data and half consists of expected future values based on historical time-of-day patterns. Finally, it applies a kernel-based smoothing function to weight the values in this composite window. This approach is particularly effective because market variables like volume, true range, and price changes tend to follow recognizable intraday patterns (they are positive values without DC components). By leveraging these patterns, the indicator doesn't try to predict future values in the traditional sense, but rather incorporates the average historical behavior at those future times into the current estimate. The benefit of using this "average future data" approach is that it counteracts the lag inherent in traditional moving averages. In a standard moving average, recent price action is underweighted because older data points hold equal influence. By incorporating time-of-day averages for future periods, the Half Causal Estimator essentially shifts the center of the filter window closer to the current bar, resulting in more timely outputs while maintaining smoothing benefits. Understanding Kernel Smoothing At the heart of the Half Causal Estimator is kernel smoothing, a statistical technique that creates weighted averages where points closer to the center receive higher weights. This approach offers several advantages over simple moving averages. Unlike simple moving averages that weight all points equally, kernel smoothing applies a mathematically defined weight distribution. The weighting function helps minimize the impact of outliers and random fluctuations. Additionally, by adjusting the kernel width parameter, users can fine-tune the balance between responsiveness and smoothness. The indicator supports three kernel types. The Gaussian kernel uses a bell-shaped distribution that weights central points heavily while still considering distant points. The Epanechnikov kernel employs a parabolic function that provides efficient noise reduction with a finite support range. The Triangular kernel applies a linear weighting that decreases uniformly from center to edges. These kernel functions provide the mathematical foundation for how the filter processes the combined window of past and "future" data points. Applicable Data Sources The indicator can be applied to three different data sources: volume (the trading volume of the security), true range (expressed as a percentage, measuring volatility), and change (the absolute percentage change from one closing price to the next). Each of these variables shares the characteristic of being consistently positive and exhibiting cyclical intraday patterns, making them ideal candidates for this filtering approach. Practical Applications The Half Causal Estimator excels in scenarios where timely information is crucial. It helps in identifying volume climaxes or diminishing volume trends earlier than conventional indicators. It can detect changes in volatility patterns with reduced lag. The indicator is also useful for recognizing shifts in price momentum before they become obvious in price action, and providing smoother data for algorithmic trading systems that require reduced noise without sacrificing timeliness. When volatility or volume spikes occur, conventional moving averages typically lag behind, potentially causing missed opportunities or delayed responses. The Half Causal Estimator produces signals that align more closely with actual market turns. Technical Implementation The implementation of the Half Causal Estimator involves several technical components working together. Data collection and organization is the first step—the indicator maintains a data structure that organizes market data by specific times of day. This creates a historical record of how volume, true range, or price change typically behaves at each minute/hour of the trading day. For each calculation, the indicator constructs a composite window consisting of recent actual data points from the current session (the causal half) and historical averages for upcoming time periods from previous sessions (the non-causal half). The selected kernel function is then applied to this composite window, creating a weighted average where points closer to the center receive higher weights according to the mathematical properties of the chosen kernel. Finally, the kernel weights are normalized to ensure the output maintains proper scaling regardless of the kernel type or width parameter. This framework enables the indicator to leverage the predictable time-of-day components in market data without trying to predict specific future values. Instead, it uses average historical patterns to reduce lag while maintaining the statistical benefits of smoothing techniques. Configuration Options The indicator provides several customization options. The data period setting determines the number of days of observations to store (0 uses all available data). Filter length controls the number of historical data points for the filter (total window size is length × 2 - 1). Filter width adjusts the width of the kernel function. Users can also select between Gaussian, Epanechnikov, and Triangular kernel functions, and customize visual settings such as colors and line width. These parameters allow for fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and smoothness based on individual trading preferences and the specific characteristics of the traded instrument. Limitations The indicator requires minute-based intraday timeframes, securities with volume data (when using volume as the source), and sufficient historical data to establish time-of-day patterns. Conclusion The Half Causal Estimator represents an innovative approach to technical analysis that addresses one of the fundamental limitations of traditional indicators: time lag. By incorporating time-of-day patterns into its calculations, it provides a more timely representation of market variables while maintaining the noise-reduction benefits of smoothing. This makes it a valuable tool for traders who need to make decisions based on real-time information about volume, volatility, or price changes.

BIN Based Support and Resistance [SS]This indicator presents a version of an alternative way to determine support and resistance, using a method called "Bins". Bins provide for a flexible and interesting way to determine support and resistance levels. First off, let's discuss BINS: Bins are ranges or containers into which your data points can be sorted. For example, if you're grouping ages, you might have bins like 0–18, 19–35, 36–50, and 51+. Any data point within these intervals gets placed in the corresponding bin. Binning simplifies complex data sets by grouping values into categories. This is useful for such things as Visualizing data in histograms or bar charts. Reducing noise and highlighting trends. This indicator groups the price action into 10 separate bins. It determines the Support / Resistance level by averaging the values in the Bins to find an iteration of the "central tendency" or average reoccurring value. Pros and Cons Since this is a different approach to support and resistance, I think its important to highlight some of the pros and advantages, but also be open about the cons. First off the PROS Bin Based Support and Resistance Levels dynamically adjust to ranges as opposed to hard / fast peaks and valleys. This makes them better at analyzing price action vs simply drawing lines at random peaks and valleys. Because Bins are analyzing ALL PA within a period's max and min range, Bin Support and Resistance can actually be used similar to Volume profile, where you are able to identify a pseudo-POC, or areas where price tends to consolidate. Take a look at this example on SPY: You can see these 2 SR lines are close together. This represents that this general price range is an area where price likes to accumulate/consolidate. You can see the SPY ended up coming back to this range and consolidating there for a bit. This is a strength of using a BIN based approach to calculating support and resistance, because as indicated before, it looks at price action vs peaks and valleys. As a tip, these areas are areas you want to wait for a break in one direction or the other. The indicator provides for backtest results of the support and resistance lines, to see how many times certain areas acted as resistance or support. Because this is analyzing and distributing PA evenly throughout the period's max and min, the indicator can tell you which areas tend to have higher rejection zones and which have higher support zones.   Now the CONS Because bin based SR take an average approach, the SR lines can sometimes be slightly broken before the ticker finds rejection: To combat this, make sure there is confirmed support. How the indicator actually backtests these lines is by waiting to see if the ticker has 3 consecutive closes above the support line or below the resistance line. So these are things to be mindful of. It doesn't consider pivots. Most support and resistance indicators either identify max and min peaks and valleys or use pivot points. Pivot points are a great way to identify peaks and valleys and thus by extension support and resistance. However, this is also somewhat of a strength, as using BINS forces the indicator to consider ALL price action and not just the extremes (highs and lows). Can be slightly skewed in highly volatile environments. Any time there is a massive drop or rally, it can skew the indicator to give extreme ranges to both ends. For example, the Tariff news collapse on ES1!: Owning to limitations in lookback length, sometimes the min and max range can be exceeded and other traditional areas of support / resistance is where a ticker will find support. Using the indicator Here are some basic use/functionalities of the indicator: Selecting display of backtest results: You can select to have the backtest results shown in a table: Or directly on the lines: Inversely, you can toggle them off completely: You can modify the lookback length. The suggested lookback length is between 250 to 500 candles on smaller timeframes. I also suggest 252 on daily timeframes (which represents 1 trading year). And that's the indicator! It is very easy to use, so you should pick it up in no time! Enjoy and as always, 🚀🚀 safe trades! 🚀🚀

Probability Grid [LuxAlgo]The Probability Grid tool allows traders to see the probability of where and when the next reversal would occur, it displays a 10x10 grid and/or dashboard with the probability of the next reversal occurring beyond each cell or within each cell. 🔶 USAGE By default, the tool displays deciles (percentiles from 0 to 90), users can enable, disable and modify each percentile, but two of them must always be enabled or the tool will display an error message alerting of it. The use of the tool is quite simple, as shown in the chart above, the further the price moves on the grid, the higher the probability of a reversal. In this case, the reversal took place on the cell with a probability of 9%, which means that there is a probability of 91% within the square defined by the last reversal and this cell. 🔹 Grid vs Dashboard The tool can display a grid starting from the last reversal and/or a dashboard at three predefined locations, as shown in the chart above. 🔶 DETAILS 🔹 Raw Data vs Normalized Data By default the tool displays the normalized data, this means that instead of using the raw data (price delta between reversals) it uses the returns between each reversal, this is useful to make an apples to apples comparison of all the data in the dataset. This can be seen in the left side of the chart above (BTCUSD Daily chart) where normalize data is disabled, the percentiles from 0 to 40 overlap and are indistinguishable from each other because the tool uses the raw price delta over the entire bitcoin history, with normalize data enabled as we can see in the right side of the chart we can have a fair comparison of the data over the entire history. 🔹 Probability Beyond or Within Each Cell Two different probability modes are available, the default mode is Probability Beyond Each Cell, the number displayed in each cell is the probability of the next reversal to be located in the area beyond the cell, for example, if the cell displays 20%, it means that in the area formed by the square starting from the last reversal and ending at the cell, there is an 80% probability and outside that square there is a 20% probability for the location of the next reversal. The second probability mode is the probability within each cell, this outlines the chance that the next reversal will be within the cell, as we can see on the right chart above, when using deciles as percentiles (default settings), each cell has the same 1% probability for the 10x10 grid. 🔶 SETTINGS Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations Normalize Data: Use returns between swings instead of raw price Probability: Choose between two different probability modes: beyond and inside each cell Percentiles: Enable/disable each of the ten percentiles and select the percentile number and line style 🔹 Dashboard Show Dashboard: Enable or disable the dashboard Position: Choose dashboard location Size: Choose dashboard size 🔹 Style Show Grid: Enable or disable the grid Size: Choose grid text size Colors: Choose grid background colors Show Marks: Enable/disable reversal markers

Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range. █ CONCEPTS Correlation Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series. If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated . Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks. When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:  • Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.  • Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future. Correlation coefficient A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure. The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows: 𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦) Where:  • 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.  • cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.  • 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.  • 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦. In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:  • A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .  • A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.  • A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample. Aligning returns across instruments In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse. However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open. Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results. To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments. In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:  1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).  2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).  3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.  4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis. It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session. Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs. █ FEATURES This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features: Requesting a list of securities The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display. Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error. To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data. Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols. Timeframe and data length selection The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error. To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations. It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range. Heatmap display This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value. Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself. The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab. █ FOR Pine Script® CODERS  • This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.  • The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.  • For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences. • A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.  • This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.  • The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors. Look first. Then leap.

Tetris with Auto-PlayThis indicator is implemented in Pine Script™ v6 and serves as a demonstration of TradingView's capabilities. The core concept is to simulate a classic Tetris game by creating a grid-based environment and managing game state entirely within Pine Script. Key Technical Aspects: Grid Representation: The script defines a custom grid structure using a user-defined type that holds the grid’s dimensions and a one-dimensional array to simulate a two-dimensional board. This structure is used to track occupied cells, clear full rows, and determine stack height. Piece Management: A second custom type is used to represent the state of a tetromino piece, including its type, rotation, and position. The code includes functions to calculate the block offsets for each tetromino based on its rotation state. Collision Detection and Piece Locking: Dedicated functions check for collisions against the grid borders and existing blocks. When a collision is detected during a downward move, the piece is locked into the grid, and any complete lines are cleared. AIgo-Driven Placement: The script incorporates a simple heuristic to determine the best placement for the next tetromino. It simulates different rotations and horizontal positions, evaluating each based on aggregated column height, cleared lines, holes, and bumpiness. This decision-making process is encapsulated in an AI-like function that returns the optimal rotation and placement. Rendering Using Tables: The visual representation is managed via TradingView’s table objects. The game board is rendered with a bordered layout, while a separate preview table displays the next piece and the current score. Each cell is updated with text and background colors that correspond to the state of the game. Execution Flow and Timing: The main execution loop handles real-time updates by dropping pieces at set intervals and checking for game-over conditions. The code leverages persistent variables and time comparisons to control game speed and manage transitions between piece drops. Executing: Add the indicator to the chart It starts playing itself till game over There are no parameters to change in this version but the grid in the code directly p.s. Sadly we have no interactive buttons in the current pinescript versions to play ourself, but its about the possibilitys what we could do ;-) Maybe in a future version there is more possible, if i find time to enhance and expand the idea Have fun :-)

Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements. A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing. This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent. █ How It Works The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check. ⚪ Multitimeframe Logic Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart. This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe. ⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise. ⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments. ⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume: Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close Each sub-bar inside the FVG: Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish) Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance ⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format: Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart. ⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother) Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal. Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts The trendline helps categorize each FVG: Trend up → favor bullish FVGs Trend down → favor bearish FVGs It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals. █ How to Use ⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly. These areas often become: Strong support/resistance zones Areas where price might react sharply Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements ⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG: Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity ⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control. A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move. A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout. These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles. Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction. ⚪ Plan with the FVG Table The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions. Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed. Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions. Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure. Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies. Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision. █ Settings FVG Timeframe Select any timeframe to source FVGs independent of your current chart. Sensitivity Filter FVGs by how impulsive the move is — it helps you eliminate weak gaps. Mitigated on Mid Control whether gaps are removed at midpoint touch or full fill. Table Settings Control the table position and width. Cleanly view all active FVGs. FVG Style Customize gap box colors, length, and bullish/bearish overlays. Trend Filter Enable or disable the smoothed FVG-based trendline with customizable smoothing controls. ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels [TANHEF]█ Overview: The 'Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels ' plots multiple dynamic regression channels (or bands) with unique selectable calculation types for both regression and deviation. It leverages a variety of techniques, customizable anchor sources to determine regression lengths, and user-defined criteria to highlight potential opportunities. Before getting started, it's worth exploring all sections, but make sure to review the Setup & Configuration section in particular. It covers key parameters like anchor type, regression length, bias, and signal criteria—essential for aligning the tool with your trading strategy. █ Key Features: ⯁ Multi-Regression Capability: Plot up to three distinct regression channels and/or bands simultaneously, each with customizable anchor types to define their length. ⯁ Regression & Deviation Methods: Regressions Types: Standard: Uses ordinary least squares to compute a simple linear trend by averaging the data and deriving a slope and endpoints over the lookback period. Ridge: Introduces L2 regularization to stabilize the slope by penalizing large coefficients, which helps mitigate multicollinearity in the data. Lasso: Uses L1 regularization through soft-thresholding to shrink less important coefficients, yielding a simpler model that highlights key trends. Elastic Net: Combines L1 and L2 penalties to balance coefficient shrinkage and selection, producing a robust weighted slope that handles redundant predictors. Huber: Implements the Huber loss with iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) and EMA-style weights to reduce the impact of outliers while estimating the slope. Least Absolute Deviations (LAD): Reduces absolute errors using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), yielding a slope less sensitive to outliers than squared-error methods. Bayesian Linear: Merges prior beliefs with weighted data through Bayesian updating, balancing the prior slope with data evidence to derive a probabilistic trend. Deviation Types: Regressive Linear (Reverse): In reverse order (recent to oldest), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope. Progressive Linear (Forward): In forward order (oldest to recent), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope. Balanced Linear: In forward order (oldest to newest), compute regression, then pair to source data in reverse order (newest to oldest) to compute weighted squared differences. Mean Absolute: Compute weighted absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value, then aggregate them to yield an average deviation. Median Absolute: Determine the weighted median of the absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value to capture the central tendency of deviations. Percent: Compute deviation as a percentage of a base value by multiplying that base by the specified percentage, yielding symmetric positive and negative deviations. Fitted: Compare a regression line with high and low series values by computing weighted differences to determine the maximum upward and downward deviations. Average True Range: Iteratively compute the weighted average of absolute differences between the data and its regression line to yield an ATR-style deviation measure. Bias: Bias: Applies EMA or inverse-EMA style weighting to both Regression and/or Deviation, emphasizing either recent or older data. ⯁ Customizable Regression Length via Anchors: Anchor Types: Fixed: Length. Bar-Based: Bar Highest/Lowest, Volume Highest/Lowest, Spread Highest/Lowest. Correlation: R Zero, R Highest, R Lowest, R Absolute. Slope: Slope Zero, Slope Highest, Slope Lowest, Slope Absolute. Indicator-Based: Indicators Highest/Lowest (ADX, ATR, BBW, CCI, MACD, RSI, Stoch). Time-Based: Time (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Custom). Session-Based: Session (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney, Custom). Event-Based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits. External: Input Source Highest/Lowest. Length Selection: Maximum: The highest allowed regression length (also fixed value of “Length” anchor). Minimum: The shortest allowed length, ensuring enough bars for a valid regression. Step: The sampling interval (e.g., 1 checks every bar, 2 checks every other bar, etc.). Increasing the step reduces the loading time, most applicable to “Slope” and “R” anchors. Adaptive lookback: Adaptive Lookback: Enable to display regression regardless of too few historical bars. ⯁ Selecting Bias: Bias applies separately to regression and deviation. Positive values emphasize recent data (EMA-style), negative invert, and near-zero maintains balance. (e.g., a length 100, bias +1 gives the newest price ~7× more weight than the oldest). It's best to apply bias to both (regression and deviation) or just the deviation. Biasing only regression may distort deviation visually, while biasing both keeps their relationship intuitive. Using bias only for deviation scales it without altering regression, offering unique analysis. ⯁ Scale Awareness: Supports linear and logarithmic price scaling, the regression and deviations adjust accordingly. ⯁ Signal Generation & Alerts: Customizable entry/exit signals and alerts, detailed in the dedicated section below. ⯁ Visual Enhancements & Real-World Examples: Optional on-chart table display summarizing regression input criteria (display type, anchor type, source, regression type, regression bias, deviation type, deviation bias, deviation multiplier) and key calculated metrics (regression length, slope, Pearson’s R, percentage position within deviations, etc.) for quick reference. █ Understanding R (Pearson Correlation Coefficient): Pearson’s R gauges data alignment to a straight-line trend within the regression length: Range: R varies between –1 and +1. R = +1 → Perfect positive correlation (strong uptrend). R = 0 → No linear relationship detected. R = –1 → Perfect negative correlation (strong downtrend). This script uses Pearson’s R as an anchor, adjusting regression length to target specific R traits. Strong R (±1) follows the regression channel, while weak R (0) shows inconsistency. █ Understanding the Slope: The slope is the direction and rate at which the regression line rises or falls per bar: Positive Slope (>0): Uptrend – Steeper means faster increase. Negative Slope (<0): Downtrend – Steeper means sharper drop. Zero or Near-Zero Slope: Sideways – Indicating range-bound conditions. This script uses highest and lowest slope as an anchor, where extremes highlight strong moves and trend lines, while values near zero indicate sideways action and possible support/resistance. █ Setup & Configuration: Whether you’re new to this script or want to quickly adjust all critical parameters, the panel below shows the main settings available. You can customize everything from the anchor type and maximum length to the bias, signal conditions, and more. Scale (select Log Scale for logarithmic, otherwise linear scale). Display (regression channel and/or bands). Anchor (how regression length is determined). Length (control bars analyzed): • Max – Upper limit. • Min – Prevents regression from becoming too short. • Step – Controls scanning precision; increasing Step reduces load time. Regression: • Type – Calculation method. • Bias – EMA-style emphasis (>0=new bars weighted more; <0=old bars weighted more). Deviation: • Type – Calculation method. • Bias – EMA-style emphasis (>0=new bars weighted more; <0=old bars weighted more). • Multiplier - Adjusts Upper and Lower Deviation. Signal Criteria: • % (Price vs Deviation) – (0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression, 100% = upper deviation). • R – (0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = +slope, <0 = -slope). Table (analyze table of input settings, calculated results, and signal criteria). Adaptive Lookback (display regression while too few historical bars). Multiple Regressions (steps 2 to 7 apply to #1, #2, and #3 regressions). █ Signal Generation & Alerts: The script offers customizable entry and exit signals with flexible criteria and visual cues (background color, dots, or triangles). Alerts can also be triggered for these opportunities. Percent Direction Criteria: (0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression line, 100% = upper deviation) Above %: Triggers if price is above a specified percent of the deviation channel. Below %: Triggers if price is below a specified percent of the deviation channel. (Blank): Ignores the percent‐based condition. Pearson's R (Correlation) Direction Criteria: (0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = positive slope, <0 = negative slope) Above R / Below R: Compares the correlation to a threshold. Above│R│ / Below│R│: Uses absolute correlation to focus on strength, ignoring direction. Zero to R: Checks if R is in the 0-to-threshold range. (Blank): Ignores correlation-based conditions. █ User Tips & Best Practices: Choose an anchor type that suits your strategy, “Bar Highest/Lowest” automatically spots commonly used regression zones, while “│R│ Highest” targets strong linear trends. Consider enabling or disabling the Adaptive Lookback feature to ensure you always have a plotted regression if your chart doesn’t meet the maximum-length requirement. Use a small Step size (1) unless relying on R-correlation or slope-based anchors as the are time-consuming to calculate. Larger steps speed up calculations but reduce precision. Fine-tune settings such as lookback periods, regression bias, and deviation multipliers, or trend strength. Small adjustments can significantly affect how channels and signals behave. To reduce loading time , show only channels (not bands) and disable signals, this limits calculations to the last bar and supports more extreme criteria. Use the table display to monitor anchor type, calculated length, slope, R value, and percent location at a glance—especially if you have multiple regressions visible simultaneously. █ Conclusion: With its blend of advanced regression techniques, flexible deviation options, and a wide range of anchor types, this indicator offers a highly adaptable linear regression channeling system. Whether you're anchoring to time, price extremes, correlation, slope, or external events, the tool can be shaped to fit a variety of strategies. Combined with customizable signals and alerts, it may help highlight areas of confluence and support a more structured approach to identifying potential opportunities.

TASC 2025.04 The Ultimate Oscillator█ OVERVIEW This script implements an alternative, refined version of the Ultimate Oscillator (UO) designed to reduce lag and enhance responsiveness in momentum indicators, as introduced by John F. Ehlers in his article "Less Lag In Momentum Indicators, The Ultimate Oscillator" from the April 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . █ CONCEPTS In his article, Ehlers states that indicators are essentially filters that remove unwanted noise (i.e., unnecessary information) from market data. Simply put, they process a series of data to place focus on specific information, providing a different perspective on price dynamics. Various filter types attenuate different periodic signals within the data. For instance, a lowpass filter allows only low-frequency signals, a highpass filter allows only high-frequency signals, and a bandpass filter allows signals within a specific frequency range . Ehlers explains that the key to removing indicator lag is to combine filters of different types in such a way that the result preserves necessary, useful signals while minimizing delay (lag). His proposed UltimateOscillator aims to maintain responsiveness to a specific frequency range by measuring the difference between two highpass filters' outputs. The oscillator uses the following formula: UO = (HP1 - HP2) / RMS Where: HP1 is the first highpass filter. HP2 is another highpass filter that allows only shorter wavelengths than the critical period of HP1. RMS is the root mean square of the highpass filter difference, used as a scaling factor to standardize the output. The resulting oscillator is similar to a bandpass filter , because it emphasizes wavelengths between the critical periods of the two highpass filters. Ehlers' UO responds quickly to value changes in a series, providing a responsive view of momentum with little to no lag. █ USAGE Ehlers' UltimateOscillator sets the critical periods of its highpass filters using two parameters: BandEdge and Bandwidth : The BandEdge sets the critical period of the second highpass filter, which determines the shortest wavelengths in the response. The Bandwidth is a multiple of the BandEdge used for the critical period of the first highpass filter, which determines the longest wavelengths in the response. Ehlers suggests that a Bandwidth value of 2 works well for most applications. However, traders can use any value above or equal to 1.4. Users can customize these parameters with the "Bandwidth" and "BandEdge" inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. The script plots the UO calculated for the specified "Source" series in a separate pane, with a color based on the chart's foreground color. Positive UO values indicate upward momentum or trends, and negative UO values indicate the opposite. Additionally, this indicator provides the option to display a "cloud" from 10 additional UO series with different settings for an aggregate view of momentum. The "Cloud" input offers four display choices: "Bandwidth", "BandEdge", "Bandwidth + BandEdge", or "None". The "Bandwidth" option calculates oscillators with different Bandwidth values based on the main oscillator's setting. Likewise, the "BandEdge" option calculates oscillators with varying BandEdge values. The "Bandwidth + BandEdge" option calculates the extra oscillators with different values for both parameters. When a user selects any of these options, the script plots the maximum and minimum oscillator values and fills their space with a color gradient. The fill color corresponds to the net sum of each UO's sign , indicating whether most of the UOs reflect positive or negative momentum. Green hues mean most oscillators are above zero, signifying stronger upward momentum. Red hues mean most are below zero, indicating stronger downward momentum.
