Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (Multi-Output Proxy) [FibonacciFlux]EFzSMA: Decode Trend Quality, Conviction & Risk Beyond Simple Averages
Stop Relying on Lagging Averages Alone. Gain a Multi-Dimensional Edge.
The Challenge: Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) tell you where the price was , but they fail to capture the true quality, conviction, and sustainability of a trend. Relying solely on price crossing an average often leads to chasing weak moves, getting caught in choppy markets, or missing critical signs of trend exhaustion. Advanced traders need a more sophisticated lens to navigate complex market dynamics.
The Solution: Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (EFzSMA)
EFzSMA is engineered to address these limitations head-on. It moves beyond simple price-average comparisons by employing a sophisticated Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) that intelligently integrates multiple critical market factors:
Price deviation from the SMA ( adaptively normalized for market volatility)
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC)
Market Sentiment/Overheat (Relative Strength Index - RSI)
Market Volatility Context (Average True Range - ATR, optional)
Volume Dynamics (Volume relative to its MA, optional)
Instead of just a line on a chart, EFzSMA delivers a multi-dimensional assessment designed to give you deeper insights and a quantifiable edge.
Why EFzSMA? Gain Deeper Market Insights
EFzSMA empowers you to make more informed decisions by providing insights that simple averages cannot:
Assess True Trend Quality, Not Just Location: Is the price above the SMA simply because of a temporary spike, or is it supported by strong momentum, confirming volume, and stable volatility? EFzSMA's core fuzzyTrendScore (-1 to +1) evaluates the health of the trend, helping you distinguish robust moves from noise.
Quantify Signal Conviction: How reliable is the current trend signal? The Conviction Proxy (0 to 1) measures the internal consistency among the different market factors analyzed by the FIS. High conviction suggests factors are aligned, boosting confidence in the trend signal. Low conviction warns of conflicting signals, uncertainty, or potential consolidation – acting as a powerful filter against chasing weak moves.
// Simplified Concept: Conviction reflects agreement vs. conflict among fuzzy inputs
bullStrength = strength_SB + strength_WB
bearStrength = strength_SBe + strength_WBe
dominantStrength = max(bullStrength, bearStrength)
conflictingStrength = min(bullStrength, bearStrength) + strength_N
convictionProxy := (dominantStrength - conflictingStrength) / (dominantStrength + conflictingStrength + 1e-10)
// Modifiers (Volatility/Volume) applied...
Anticipate Potential Reversals: Trends don't last forever. The Reversal Risk Proxy (0 to 1) synthesizes multiple warning signs – like extreme RSI readings, surging volatility, or diverging volume – into a single, actionable metric. High reversal risk flags conditions often associated with trend exhaustion, providing early warnings to protect profits or consider counter-trend opportunities.
Adapt to Changing Market Regimes: Markets shift between high and low volatility. EFzSMA's unique Adaptive Deviation Normalization adjusts how it perceives price deviations based on recent market behavior (percentile rank). This ensures more consistent analysis whether the market is quiet or chaotic.
// Core Idea: Normalize deviation by recent volatility (percentile)
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
normalized_diff := raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
// Fuzzy sets for 'normalized_diff' are thus adaptive to volatility
Integrate Complexity, Output Clarity: EFzSMA distills complex, multi-factor analysis into clear, interpretable outputs, helping you cut through market noise and focus on what truly matters for your decision-making process.
Interpreting the Multi-Dimensional Output
The true power of EFzSMA lies in analyzing its outputs together:
A high Trend Score (+0.8) is significant, but its reliability is amplified by high Conviction (0.9) and low Reversal Risk (0.2) . This indicates a strong, well-supported trend.
Conversely, the same high Trend Score (+0.8) coupled with low Conviction (0.3) and high Reversal Risk (0.7) signals caution – the trend might look strong superficially, but internal factors suggest weakness or impending exhaustion.
Use these combined insights to:
Filter Entry Signals: Require minimum Trend Score and Conviction levels.
Manage Risk: Consider reducing exposure or tightening stops when Reversal Risk climbs significantly, especially if Conviction drops.
Time Exits: Use rising Reversal Risk and falling Conviction as potential signals to take profits.
Identify Regime Shifts: Monitor how the relationship between the outputs changes over time.
Core Technology (Briefly)
EFzSMA leverages a Mamdani-style Fuzzy Inference System. Crisp inputs (normalized deviation, ROC, RSI, ATR%, Vol Ratio) are mapped to linguistic fuzzy sets ("Low", "High", "Positive", etc.). A rules engine evaluates combinations (e.g., "IF Deviation is LargePositive AND Momentum is StrongPositive THEN Trend is StrongBullish"). Modifiers based on Volatility and Volume context adjust rule strengths. Finally, the system aggregates these and defuzzifies them into the Trend Score, Conviction Proxy, and Reversal Risk Proxy. The key is the system's ability to handle ambiguity and combine multiple, potentially conflicting factors in a nuanced way, much like human expert reasoning.
Customization
While designed with robust defaults, EFzSMA offers granular control:
Adjust SMA, ROC, RSI, ATR, Volume MA lengths.
Fine-tune Normalization parameters (lookback, percentile). Note: Fuzzy set definitions for deviation are tuned for the normalized range.
Configure Volatility and Volume thresholds for fuzzy sets. Tuning these is crucial for specific assets/timeframes.
Toggle visual elements (Proxies, BG Color, Risk Shapes, Volatility-based Transparency).
Recommended Use & Caveats
EFzSMA is a sophisticated analytical tool, not a standalone "buy/sell" signal generator.
Use it to complement your existing strategy and analysis.
Always validate signals with price action, market structure, and other confirming factors.
Thorough backtesting and forward testing are essential to understand its behavior and tune parameters for your specific instruments and timeframes.
Fuzzy logic parameters (membership functions, rules) are based on general heuristics and may require optimization for specific market niches.

Fuzzy SMA with DCTI Confirmation[FibonacciFlux]FibonacciFlux: Advanced Fuzzy Logic System with Donchian Trend Confirmation
Institutional-grade trend analysis combining adaptive Fuzzy Logic with Donchian Channel Trend Intensity for superior signal quality
Conceptual Framework & Research Foundation
FibonacciFlux represents a significant advancement in quantitative technical analysis, merging two powerful analytical methodologies: normalized fuzzy logic systems and Donchian Channel Trend Intensity (DCTI). This sophisticated indicator addresses a fundamental challenge in market analysis – the inherent imprecision of trend identification in dynamic, multi-dimensional market environments.
While traditional indicators often produce simplistic binary signals, markets exist in states of continuous, graduated transition. FibonacciFlux embraces this complexity through its implementation of fuzzy set theory, enhanced by DCTI's structural trend confirmation capabilities. The result is an indicator that provides nuanced, probabilistic trend assessment with institutional-grade signal quality.
Core Technological Components
1. Advanced Fuzzy Logic System with Percentile Normalization
At the foundation of FibonacciFlux lies a comprehensive fuzzy logic system that transforms conventional technical metrics into degrees of membership in linguistic variables:
// Fuzzy triangular membership function with robust error handling
fuzzy_triangle(val, left, center, right) =>
if na(val)
0.0
float denominator1 = math.max(1e-10, center - left)
float denominator2 = math.max(1e-10, right - center)
math.max(0.0, math.min(left == center ? val <= center ? 1.0 : 0.0 : (val - left) / denominator1,
center == right ? val >= center ? 1.0 : 0.0 : (right - val) / denominator2))
The system employs percentile-based normalization for SMA deviation – a critical innovation that enables self-calibration across different assets and market regimes:
// Percentile-based normalization for adaptive calibration
raw_diff = price_src - sma_val
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(math.abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
normalized_diff_raw = raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
normalized_diff = useClamping ? math.max(-clampValue, math.min(clampValue, normalized_diff_raw)) : normalized_diff_raw
This normalization approach represents a significant advancement over fixed-threshold systems, allowing the indicator to automatically adapt to varying volatility environments and maintain consistent signal quality across diverse market conditions.
2. Donchian Channel Trend Intensity (DCTI) Integration
FibonacciFlux significantly enhances fuzzy logic analysis through the integration of Donchian Channel Trend Intensity (DCTI) – a sophisticated measure of trend strength based on the relationship between short-term and long-term price extremes:
// DCTI calculation for structural trend confirmation
f_dcti(src, majorPer, minorPer, sigPer) =>
H = ta.highest(high, majorPer) // Major period high
L = ta.lowest(low, majorPer) // Major period low
h = ta.highest(high, minorPer) // Minor period high
l = ta.lowest(low, minorPer) // Minor period low
float pdiv = not na(L) ? l - L : 0 // Positive divergence (low vs major low)
float ndiv = not na(H) ? H - h : 0 // Negative divergence (major high vs high)
float divisor = pdiv + ndiv
dctiValue = divisor == 0 ? 0 : 100 * ((pdiv - ndiv) / divisor) // Normalized to -100 to +100 range
sigValue = ta.ema(dctiValue, sigPer)
DCTI provides a complementary structural perspective on market trends by quantifying the relationship between short-term and long-term price extremes. This creates a multi-dimensional analysis framework that combines adaptive deviation measurement (fuzzy SMA) with channel-based trend intensity confirmation (DCTI).
Multi-Dimensional Fuzzy Input Variables
FibonacciFlux processes four distinct technical dimensions through its fuzzy system:
Normalized SMA Deviation: Measures price displacement relative to historical volatility context
Rate of Change (ROC): Captures price momentum over configurable timeframes
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Evaluates cyclical overbought/oversold conditions
Donchian Channel Trend Intensity (DCTI): Provides structural trend confirmation through channel analysis
Each dimension is processed through comprehensive fuzzy sets that transform crisp numerical values into linguistic variables:
// Normalized SMA Deviation - Self-calibrating to volatility regimes
ndiff_LP := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff, norm_scale * 0.3, norm_scale * 0.7, norm_scale * 1.1)
ndiff_SP := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff, norm_scale * 0.05, norm_scale * 0.25, norm_scale * 0.5)
ndiff_NZ := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff, -norm_scale * 0.1, 0.0, norm_scale * 0.1)
ndiff_SN := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff, -norm_scale * 0.5, -norm_scale * 0.25, -norm_scale * 0.05)
ndiff_LN := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff, -norm_scale * 1.1, -norm_scale * 0.7, -norm_scale * 0.3)
// DCTI - Structural trend measurement
dcti_SP := fuzzy_triangle(dcti_val, 60.0, 85.0, 101.0) // Strong Positive Trend (> ~85)
dcti_WP := fuzzy_triangle(dcti_val, 20.0, 45.0, 70.0) // Weak Positive Trend (~30-60)
dcti_Z := fuzzy_triangle(dcti_val, -30.0, 0.0, 30.0) // Near Zero / Trendless (~+/- 20)
dcti_WN := fuzzy_triangle(dcti_val, -70.0, -45.0, -20.0) // Weak Negative Trend (~-30 - -60)
dcti_SN := fuzzy_triangle(dcti_val, -101.0, -85.0, -60.0) // Strong Negative Trend (< ~-85)
Advanced Fuzzy Rule System with DCTI Confirmation
The core intelligence of FibonacciFlux lies in its sophisticated fuzzy rule system – a structured knowledge representation that encodes expert understanding of market dynamics:
// Base Trend Rules with DCTI Confirmation
cond1 = math.min(ndiff_LP, roc_HP, rsi_M)
strength_SB := math.max(strength_SB, cond1 * (dcti_SP > 0.5 ? 1.2 : dcti_Z > 0.1 ? 0.5 : 1.0))
// DCTI Override Rules - Structural trend confirmation with momentum alignment
cond14 = math.min(ndiff_NZ, roc_HP, dcti_SP)
strength_SB := math.max(strength_SB, cond14 * 0.5)
The rule system implements 15 distinct fuzzy rules that evaluate various market conditions including:
Established Trends: Strong deviations with confirming momentum and DCTI alignment
Emerging Trends: Early deviation patterns with initial momentum and DCTI confirmation
Weakening Trends: Divergent signals between deviation, momentum, and DCTI
Reversal Conditions: Counter-trend signals with DCTI confirmation
Neutral Consolidations: Minimal deviation with low momentum and neutral DCTI
A key innovation is the weighted influence of DCTI on rule activation. When strong DCTI readings align with other indicators, rule strength is amplified (up to 1.2x). Conversely, when DCTI contradicts other indicators, rule impact is reduced (as low as 0.5x). This creates a dynamic, self-adjusting system that prioritizes high-conviction signals.
Defuzzification & Signal Generation
The final step transforms fuzzy outputs into a precise trend score through center-of-gravity defuzzification:
// Defuzzification with precise floating-point handling
denominator = strength_SB + strength_WB + strength_N + strength_WBe + strength_SBe
if denominator > 1e-10
fuzzyTrendScore := (strength_SB * STRONG_BULL + strength_WB * WEAK_BULL +
strength_N * NEUTRAL + strength_WBe * WEAK_BEAR +
strength_SBe * STRONG_BEAR) / denominator
The resulting FuzzyTrendScore ranges from -1.0 (Strong Bear) to +1.0 (Strong Bull), with critical threshold zones at ±0.3 (Weak trend) and ±0.7 (Strong trend). The histogram visualization employs intuitive color-coding for immediate trend assessment.
Strategic Applications for Institutional Trading
FibonacciFlux provides substantial advantages for sophisticated trading operations:
Multi-Timeframe Signal Confirmation: Institutional-grade signal validation across multiple technical dimensions
Trend Strength Quantification: Precise measurement of trend conviction with noise filtration
Early Trend Identification: Detection of emerging trends before traditional indicators through fuzzy pattern recognition
Adaptive Market Regime Analysis: Self-calibrating analysis across varying volatility environments
Algorithmic Strategy Integration: Well-defined numerical output suitable for systematic trading frameworks
Risk Management Enhancement: Superior signal fidelity for risk exposure optimization
Customization Parameters
FibonacciFlux offers extensive customization to align with specific trading mandates and market conditions:
Fuzzy SMA Settings: Configure baseline trend identification parameters including SMA, ROC, and RSI lengths
Normalization Settings: Fine-tune the self-calibration mechanism with adjustable lookback period, percentile rank, and optional clamping
DCTI Parameters: Optimize trend structure confirmation with adjustable major/minor periods and signal smoothing
Visualization Controls: Customize display transparency for optimal chart integration
These parameters enable precise calibration for different asset classes, timeframes, and market regimes while maintaining the core analytical framework.
Implementation Notes
For optimal implementation, consider the following guidance:
Higher timeframes (4H+) benefit from increased normalization lookback (800+) for stability
Volatile assets may require adjusted clamping values (2.5-4.0) for optimal signal sensitivity
DCTI parameters should be aligned with chart timeframe (higher timeframes require increased major/minor periods)
The indicator performs exceptionally well as a trend filter for systematic trading strategies

Fuzzy SMA Trend Analyzer (experimental)[FibonacciFlux]Fuzzy SMA Trend Analyzer (Normalized): Advanced Market Trend Detection Using Fuzzy Logic Theory
Elevate your technical analysis with institutional-grade fuzzy logic implementation
Research Genesis & Conceptual Framework
This indicator represents the culmination of extensive research into applying fuzzy logic theory to financial markets. While traditional technical indicators often produce binary outcomes, market conditions exist on a continuous spectrum. The Fuzzy SMA Trend Analyzer addresses this limitation by implementing a sophisticated fuzzy logic system that captures the nuanced, multi-dimensional nature of market trends.
Core Fuzzy Logic Principles
At the heart of this indicator lies fuzzy logic theory - a mathematical framework designed to handle imprecision and uncertainty:
// Improved fuzzy_triangle function with guard clauses for NA and invalid parameters.
fuzzy_triangle(val, left, center, right) =>
if na(val) or na(left) or na(center) or na(right) or left > center or center > right // Guard checks
0.0
else if left == center and center == right // Crisp set (single point)
val == center ? 1.0 : 0.0
else if left == center // Left-shoulder shape (ramp down from 1 at center to 0 at right)
val >= right ? 0.0 : val <= center ? 1.0 : (right - val) / (right - center)
else if center == right // Right-shoulder shape (ramp up from 0 at left to 1 at center)
val <= left ? 0.0 : val >= center ? 1.0 : (val - left) / (center - left)
else // Standard triangle
math.max(0.0, math.min((val - left) / (center - left), (right - val) / (right - center)))
This implementation of triangular membership functions enables the indicator to transform crisp numerical values into degrees of membership in linguistic variables like "Large Positive" or "Small Negative," creating a more nuanced representation of market conditions.
Dynamic Percentile Normalization
A critical innovation in this indicator is the implementation of percentile-based normalization for SMA deviation:
// ----- Deviation Scale Estimation using Percentile -----
// Calculate the percentile rank of the *absolute* deviation over the lookback period.
// This gives an estimate of the 'typical maximum' deviation magnitude recently.
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(math.abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
// ----- Normalize the Raw Deviation -----
// Divide the raw deviation by the estimated 'typical max' magnitude.
normalized_diff = raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
// ----- Clamp the Normalized Deviation -----
normalized_diff_clamped = math.max(-3.0, math.min(3.0, normalized_diff))
This percentile normalization approach creates a self-adapting system that automatically calibrates to different assets and market regimes. Rather than using fixed thresholds, the indicator dynamically adjusts based on recent volatility patterns, significantly enhancing signal quality across diverse market environments.
Multi-Factor Fuzzy Rule System
The indicator implements a comprehensive fuzzy rule system that evaluates multiple technical factors:
SMA Deviation (Normalized): Measures price displacement from the Simple Moving Average
Rate of Change (ROC): Captures price momentum over a specified period
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Assesses overbought/oversold conditions
These factors are processed through a sophisticated fuzzy inference system with linguistic variables:
// ----- 3.1 Fuzzy Sets for Normalized Deviation -----
diffN_LP := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff_clamped, 0.7, 1.5, 3.0) // Large Positive (around/above percentile)
diffN_SP := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff_clamped, 0.1, 0.5, 0.9) // Small Positive
diffN_NZ := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff_clamped, -0.2, 0.0, 0.2) // Near Zero
diffN_SN := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff_clamped, -0.9, -0.5, -0.1) // Small Negative
diffN_LN := fuzzy_triangle(normalized_diff_clamped, -3.0, -1.5, -0.7) // Large Negative (around/below percentile)
// ----- 3.2 Fuzzy Sets for ROC -----
roc_HN := fuzzy_triangle(roc_val, -8.0, -5.0, -2.0)
roc_WN := fuzzy_triangle(roc_val, -3.0, -1.0, -0.1)
roc_NZ := fuzzy_triangle(roc_val, -0.3, 0.0, 0.3)
roc_WP := fuzzy_triangle(roc_val, 0.1, 1.0, 3.0)
roc_HP := fuzzy_triangle(roc_val, 2.0, 5.0, 8.0)
// ----- 3.3 Fuzzy Sets for RSI -----
rsi_L := fuzzy_triangle(rsi_val, 0.0, 25.0, 40.0)
rsi_M := fuzzy_triangle(rsi_val, 35.0, 50.0, 65.0)
rsi_H := fuzzy_triangle(rsi_val, 60.0, 75.0, 100.0)
Advanced Fuzzy Inference Rules
The indicator employs a comprehensive set of fuzzy rules that encode expert knowledge about market behavior:
// --- Fuzzy Rules using Normalized Deviation (diffN_*) ---
cond1 = math.min(diffN_LP, roc_HP, math.max(rsi_M, rsi_H)) // Strong Bullish: Large pos dev, strong pos roc, rsi ok
strength_SB := math.max(strength_SB, cond1)
cond2 = math.min(diffN_SP, roc_WP, rsi_M) // Weak Bullish: Small pos dev, weak pos roc, rsi mid
strength_WB := math.max(strength_WB, cond2)
cond3 = math.min(diffN_SP, roc_NZ, rsi_H) // Weakening Bullish: Small pos dev, flat roc, rsi high
strength_N := math.max(strength_N, cond3 * 0.6) // More neutral
strength_WB := math.max(strength_WB, cond3 * 0.2) // Less weak bullish
This rule system evaluates multiple conditions simultaneously, weighting them by their degree of membership to produce a comprehensive trend assessment. The rules are designed to identify various market conditions including strong trends, weakening trends, potential reversals, and neutral consolidations.
Defuzzification Process
The final step transforms the fuzzy result back into a crisp numerical value representing the overall trend strength:
// --- Step 6: Defuzzification ---
denominator = strength_SB + strength_WB + strength_N + strength_WBe + strength_SBe
if denominator > 1e-10 // Use small epsilon instead of != 0.0 for float comparison
fuzzyTrendScore := (strength_SB * STRONG_BULL +
strength_WB * WEAK_BULL +
strength_N * NEUTRAL +
strength_WBe * WEAK_BEAR +
strength_SBe * STRONG_BEAR) / denominator
The resulting FuzzyTrendScore ranges from -1 (strong bearish) to +1 (strong bullish), providing a smooth, continuous evaluation of market conditions that avoids the abrupt signal changes common in traditional indicators.
Advanced Visualization with Rainbow Gradient
The indicator incorporates sophisticated visualization using a rainbow gradient coloring system:
// Normalize score to for gradient function
normalizedScore = na(fuzzyTrendScore) ? 0.5 : math.max(0.0, math.min(1.0, (fuzzyTrendScore + 1) / 2))
// Get the color based on gradient setting and normalized score
final_color = get_gradient(normalizedScore, gradient_type)
This color-coding system provides intuitive visual feedback, with color intensity reflecting trend strength and direction. The gradient can be customized between Red-to-Green or Red-to-Blue configurations based on user preference.
Practical Applications
The Fuzzy SMA Trend Analyzer excels in several key applications:
Trend Identification: Precisely identifies market trend direction and strength with nuanced gradation
Market Regime Detection: Distinguishes between trending markets and consolidation phases
Divergence Analysis: Highlights potential reversals when price action and fuzzy trend score diverge
Filter for Trading Systems: Provides high-quality trend filtering for other trading strategies
Risk Management: Offers early warning of potential trend weakening or reversal
Parameter Customization
The indicator offers extensive customization options:
SMA Length: Adjusts the baseline moving average period
ROC Length: Controls momentum sensitivity
RSI Length: Configures overbought/oversold sensitivity
Normalization Lookback: Determines the adaptive calculation window for percentile normalization
Percentile Rank: Sets the statistical threshold for deviation normalization
Gradient Type: Selects the preferred color scheme for visualization
These parameters enable fine-tuning to specific market conditions, trading styles, and timeframes.

Three Red WicksThe indicator will mark spots on your chart where three red candles appear in a row. You can modify the marker's color, shape, or position by adjusting the plotshape parameters if desired.
Would you like me to modify anything in this indicator, like changing the marker style or adding additional conditions?
SemaforThis is the 4 Level Semafor indicator with Daily Open Line and Average Session Range. Also on the chart is the EMA Ribbon indicator.
Credit to:
Devlucem for the Semafor indicator
Quantvue for the Average Session Range
Shusterivi for the Daily Open Line
MYNAMEISBRANDON for the EMA Ribbon
The Semafors are based on the ZigZag indicator and show higher highs/lower lows of a specified period, determined by the user and applied in settings.
The default periods I use are:
10 period (hidden on this chart)
50 period-blue dots
250 period-white dots
615 period-black dots
Just as the ZigZag indicator will recalculate so to will the semafors, as additional candles are built. The semafor indicator is never to be used as a stand alone signal. It must be combined with other indicators to be used effectively. What we look for are the semafor patterns of a large white dot followed by a 1st blue dot opposite of the white. Then a 2nd blue dot in agreement with the white dot. In theory, the 2nd blue dot is seen as confirmation of the establishment of the white semafor..
When combined with Daily Open Line, ADR (Average Sessions Range), EMA cross and VWAP anchored to your 250 semafors, your odds are greatly increased. Add to that the knowledge of basic market structure and the wisdom that comes from patience and you have a very powerful weapon.
The Daily Open...I trade the M1 chart and also draw a H4 Open Line on my chart for the smaller time frames. Price will tend to trade away from the Daily Open Line. In many cases until it reaches certain levels...Fib, Gann, ADR, etc., then runs through a pullback cycle. I like the ADR levels. The ADR can give clues when entering a consolidation phase, ie trading between the buy side and sell side 15% levels. Trading away from the Daily Open(or H4 open) along with breaking the 15% level, while in agreement with a semafor pattern is a good sign.
Add to that confluence the agreement of your MA cross and the 250 semafor Anchored VWAP and you have a solid signal to help determine your actions. This trend following layout will work on any time frame. I just really like the M1 for its precision, not for crazy back and forth all day. With the exception of some strong pull back signals, I don't enter any more trades on the M1 than on M5, 15 or 30.
This is based on and follows the teachings of Xard and his trading strategy. Just as I don't want to take anyone's credit for these indicators, I won't take credit for what I have been taught either.
The trader can obviously use their favorite MA cross indicator. But this one is visually beautiful AND displays the current time frame and 1 time frame higher on the chart...awesome!
Of note, I do run into trouble at times with the 615 period semafor. I have been told it is because TradingView has trouble with extended period indicators. As a matter of fact, I would like a much higher period for my biggest semafor. I would like it set at 1250, but that seems to be a no starter. If anyone has a solution, that would be welcomed news.

TimeMapTimeMap is a visual price-reference indicator designed to help traders rapidly visualize how current price levels relate to significant historical closing prices. It overlays your chart with reference lines representing past weekly, monthly, quarterly (3-month), semi-annual (6-month), and annual closing prices. By clearly plotting these historical price references, TimeMap helps traders quickly gauge price position relative to historical market structure, aiding in the identification of trends, support/resistance levels, and potential reversals.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the precise number of historical bars corresponding to weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual intervals, dynamically adjusting according to your chart’s timeframe (intraday, daily, weekly, monthly) and chosen market type (Stocks US, Crypto, Forex, or Futures). Historical closing prices from these periods are plotted directly on your chart as horizontal reference lines.
For intraday traders, the script accurately calculates historical offsets considering regular and extended trading sessions (e.g., pre-market and after-hours sessions for US stocks), ensuring correct positioning of historical lines.
User-Configurable Inputs Explained in Detail:
Market Type:
Allows you to specify your trading instrument type, automatically adjusting calculations for:
- Stocks US (default): 390 minutes per regular session (780 minutes if extended hours enabled), 5 trading days/week.
- Crypto: 1440 minutes/day, 7 trading days/week.
- Forex: 1440 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
- Futures: 1320 minutes/day, 5 trading days/week.
Show Weekly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one week ago. Provides short-term context and helps identify recent price momentum.
Show Monthly Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one month ago. Helpful for evaluating medium-term price positioning and monthly trend strength.
Show 3-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from three months ago. Useful for assessing quarterly market shifts, intermediate trend changes, and broader market sentiment.
Show 6-Month Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from six months ago. Useful for identifying semi-annual trends, significant price pivots, and longer-term support/resistance levels.
Show 1-Year Close:
When enabled, plots a line at the exact closing price from one year ago. Excellent for assessing long-term market direction and key annual price levels.
Enable Smoothing:
Activates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing of historical reference lines, reducing volatility and providing clearer visual references. Recommended for traders preferring less volatile reference levels.
Smoothing Length:
Determines the number of bars used in calculating the SMA smoothing of historical lines. Higher values result in smoother but slightly delayed reference lines; lower values offer more immediate yet more volatile levels.
Use Extended Hours (Intraday Only):
When enabled (only applicable for Stocks US), it accounts for pre-market and after-hours trading sessions, providing accurate intraday historical line calculations based on extended sessions (typically 780 minutes/day total).
Important Notes and Compliance:
- This indicator does not provide trading signals, recommendations, or predictions. It serves purely as a visual analytical tool to supplement traders’ existing methods.
- Historical lines plotted are strictly based on past available price data; the indicator never accesses future data or data outside the scope of Pine Script’s standard capabilities.
- The script incorporates built-in logic to avoid runtime errors if insufficient historical data exists for a selected timeframe, ensuring robustness even with limited historical bars.
- TimeMap is original work developed exclusively by Julien Eche (@Julien_Eche). It does not reuse or replicate third-party or existing open-source scripts.
Recommended Best Practices:
- Use TimeMap as a complementary analytical reference, not as a standalone strategy or trade decision-making tool.
- Adapt displayed historical periods and smoothing settings based on your trading style and market approach.
- Default plot colors are optimized for readability on dark-background charts; adjust as necessary according to your preference and chart color scheme.

Low Liquidity Zones [PhenLabs]📊 Low Liquidity Zones
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Low Liquidity Zones identifies and highlights periods of unusually low trading volume on your chart, marking areas where price movement occurred with minimal participation. These zones often represent potential support and resistance levels that may be more susceptible to price breakouts or reversals when revisited with higher volume.
Unlike traditional volume analysis tools that focus on high volume spikes, this indicator specializes in detecting low liquidity areas where price moved with minimal resistance. Each zone displays its volume delta, providing insight into buying vs. selling pressure during these thin liquidity periods. This combination of low volume detection and delta analysis helps traders identify potential price inefficiencies and weak structures in the market.
🚀 Points of Innovation
• Identifies low liquidity zones that most volume indicators overlook but which often become significant technical levels
• Displays volume delta within each zone, showing net buying/selling pressure during low liquidity periods
• Dynamically adjusts to different timeframes, allowing analysis across multiple time horizons
• Filters zones by maximum size percentage to focus only on precise price levels
• Maintains historical zones until they expire based on your lookback settings, creating a cumulative map of potential support/resistance areas
🔧 Core Components
• Low Volume Detection: Identifies candles where volume falls below a specified threshold relative to recent average volume, highlighting potential liquidity gaps.
• Volume Delta Analysis: Calculates and displays the net buying/selling pressure within each low liquidity zone, providing insight into the directional bias during low participation periods.
• Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment: Automatically scales analysis periods to match your selected timeframe preference, ensuring consistent identification of low liquidity zones regardless of chart settings.
• Zone Management System: Creates, tracks, and expires low liquidity zones based on your configured settings, maintaining visual clarity on the chart.
🔥 Key Features
• Low Volume Identification: Automatically detects and highlights candles where volume falls below your specified threshold compared to the moving average.
• Volume Delta Visualization: Shows the net volume delta within each zone, providing insight into whether buyers or sellers were dominant despite the low overall volume.
• Flexible Timeframe Analysis: Analyze low liquidity zones across multiple predefined timeframes or use a custom lookback period specific to your trading style.
• Zone Size Filtering: Filters out excessively large zones to focus only on precise price levels, improving signal quality.
• Automatic Zone Expiration: Older zones are automatically removed after your specified lookback period to maintain a clean, relevant chart display.
🎨 Visualization
• Volume Delta Labels: Each zone displays its volume delta with “+” or “-” prefix and K/M suffix for easy interpretation, showing the strength and direction of pressure during the low volume period.
• Persistent Historical Mapping: Zones remain visible for your specified lookback period, creating a cumulative map of potential support and resistance levels forming under low liquidity conditions.

✅ Best Use Cases
• Identifying potential support and resistance levels that formed during periods of thin liquidity
• Spotting price inefficiencies where larger players may have moved price with minimal volume
• Finding low-volume consolidation areas that may serve as breakout or reversal zones when revisited
• Locating potential stop-hunting zones where price moved on minimal participation
• Complementing traditional support/resistance analysis with volume context
⚠️ Limitations
• Requires volume data to function; will not work on symbols where the data provider doesn’t supply volume information
• Low volume zones don’t guarantee future support/resistance - they simply highlight potential areas of interest
• Works best on liquid instruments where volume data has meaningful fluctuations
• Historical analysis is limited by the maximum allowed box count (500) in TradingView
• Volume delta in some markets may not perfectly reflect buying vs. selling pressure due to data limitations
💡 What Makes This Unique
• Focus on Low Volume: Unlike some indicators that highlight high volume events particularly like our very own TLZ indicator, this tool specifically identifies potentially significant price zones that formed with minimal participation.
• Delta + Low Volume Integration: Combines volume delta analysis with low volume detection to reveal directional bias during thin liquidity periods.
• Flexible Lookback System: The dynamic timeframe system allows analysis across any timeframe while maintaining consistent zone identification criteria.
• Support/Resistance Zone Generation: Automatically builds a visual map of potential technical levels based on volume behavior rather than just price patterns.
🔬 How It Works
1. Volume Baseline Calculation:
The indicator calculates a moving average of volume over your specified period to establish a baseline for normal market participation. This adaptive baseline accounts for natural volume fluctuations across different market conditions.
2. Low Volume Detection:
Each candle’s volume is compared to the moving average and flagged when it falls below your threshold divisor. The indicator also filters zones by maximum size to ensure only precise price levels are highlighted.
3. Volume Delta Integration:
For each identified low volume candle, the indicator retrieves the volume delta from a lower timeframe. This delta value is formatted with appropriate scaling (K/M) and displayed within the zone.
4. Zone Management:
New zones are created and tracked in a dynamic array, with each zone extending rightward until it expires. The system automatically removes expired zones based on your lookback period to maintain a clean chart.
💡 Note:
Low liquidity zones often represent areas where price moved with minimal participation, which can indicate potential market inefficiencies. These zones frequently become important support/resistance levels when revisited, especially if approached with higher volume. Consider using this indicator alongside traditional technical analysis tools for comprehensive market context. For best results, experiment with different volume threshold settings based on the specific instrument’s typical volume patterns.
Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB### Reversal & Breakout Strategy with ORB
This strategy combines three distinct trading approaches—reversals, trend breakouts, and opening range breakouts (ORB)—into a single, cohesive system. The goal is to capture high-probability setups across different market conditions, leveraging a mashup of technical indicators for confirmation and risk management. Below, I’ll explain why this combination works, how the components interact, and how to use it effectively.
#### Why the Mashup?
- **Reversals**: Identifies overextended moves using RSI (overbought/oversold) and SMA50 crosses, filtered by VWAP and SMA200 trend direction. This targets mean-reversion opportunities in trending markets.
- **Breakouts**: Uses EMA9/EMA20 crossovers with VWAP and SMA200 confirmation to catch momentum-driven trend continuations.
- **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**: Detects early momentum by breaking the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 15 bars) with volume confirmation. This adds a time-based edge, ideal for intraday trading.
The synergy comes from blending these methods: reversals catch pullbacks, breakouts ride trends, and ORB exploits early volatility—all filtered by trend (SMA200) and anchored by VWAP for context.
#### How It Works
1. **Indicators**:
- **EMA9/EMA20**: Fast-moving averages for breakout signals.
- **SMA50**: Medium-term trend filter for reversals.
- **SMA200**: Long-term trend direction to align trades.
- **RSI (14)**: Measures overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions.
- **VWAP**: Acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.
- **ATR (14)**: Sets stop-loss distance (default: 1.5x ATR).
- **Volume**: Confirms ORB breakouts (1.5x average volume of opening range).
2. **Entry Conditions**:
- **Long**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI < 30 + below VWAP + uptrend), breakout (EMA9 > EMA20 + above VWAP + uptrend), or ORB (break above opening range high + volume).
- **Short**: Triggers on reversal (SMA50 cross + RSI > 70 + above VWAP + downtrend), breakout (EMA9 < EMA20 + below VWAP + downtrend), or ORB (break below opening range low + volume).
3. **Risk Management**:
- Risks 5% of equity per trade (based on the initial capital set in the strategy tester).
- Stop-loss: Based on lowest low/highest high over 7 bars ± 1.5x ATR.
- Targets: Two exits at 1:1 and 1:2 risk:reward (50% of position at each).
- Break-even: Stop moves to entry price after the first target is hit.
4. **Backtesting Settings**:
- Commission: Hardcoded at 0.1% per trade (realistic for most brokers).
- Slippage: Hardcoded at 2 ticks (realistic for most markets).
- Tested on datasets yielding 100+ trades (e.g., 2-min or 5-min charts over months).
#### How to Use It
- **Timeframe**: Works best on intraday (2-min, 5-min) or daily charts. Adjust `Opening Range Bars` (e.g., 15 bars = 30 min on 2-min chart) for your timeframe.
- **Settings**:
- Set your initial equity in the TradingView strategy tester’s "Properties" tab under "Initial Capital" (e.g., $10,000). The script automatically risks 5% of this equity per trade.
- Adjust `Stop Loss ATR Multiplier` or `Risk:Reward Targets` based on your risk tolerance.
- Note that commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) are fixed in the script for backtesting consistency.
- **Execution**: Enter on signal, monitor plotted stop (red) and targets (green/blue). The strategy supports pyramiding (up to 2 positions) for scaling into trends.
#### Backtesting Notes
Results are realistic with commission (0.1%) and slippage (2 ticks) included. For a sufficient sample, test on volatile instruments (e.g., stocks, forex) over 3-6 months on lower timeframes. The default 1.5x ATR stop may seem wide, but it’s justified to avoid premature exits in volatile markets—feel free to tweak it with justification. The script assumes an initial capital of $10,000 in the strategy tester for the 5% risk calculation (e.g., $500 risk per trade); adjust this in the "Properties" tab as needed.
This mashup isn’t just a random mix; it’s a deliberate fusion of complementary strategies, offering traders flexibility across market phases. Questions? Let me know!
PSP - Precision CandlePSP Precision Spotting Points (PSP) Indicator
The PSP Precision Spotting Points (PSP) Indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify high-probability reversal zones by detecting PSP setups with precision. PSPs are Potential Swing Points that often precede market reversals or significant price reactions. This indicator simplifies the process of spotting these opportunities by highlighting areas of interest based on market structure, correlation imbalances, and wick rejections.
📌 Key Features:
PSP Detection: Accurately identifies Potential Swing Points by scanning for candle patterns that suggest a shift in momentum.
Precision Entry Zones: Marks areas where price is likely to react, offering clear visual cues for optimal trade execution.
Smart Filtering: Filters out low-quality signals using advanced volatility and liquidity analysis.
Wick Confirmation: Validates PSP setups using wick rejections and correlation cracks, enhancing the probability of a successful trade.
Customizable Alerts: Stay informed with real-time notifications when a PSP is detected.
🛠️ How It Works:
Candle Analysis: Scans for specific price action patterns where candle body-to-wick ratios and volatility suggest a Potential Swing Point.
Correlation Cracks: Detects discrepancies between correlated instruments, adding confluence to PSP setups.
POI Alignment: Highlights areas near Points of Interest (POIs) like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), previous highs/lows, and session kill zones.
Rejection Confirmation: Ensures PSPs are validated through wick-based rejection patterns, minimizing false signals.
Momentum Based RSIThe Momentum Based RSI is an enhancement to the RSI. it incorporates 2 sections:
MA Ratio (Fast/Slow)
RSI
at the end both of those are multiplied to create a more responsive RSI which reacts fast to market moves while still providing a whip ressistant tool.
Momentum Calculation
The "MA Ratio" as i like to call it results from comparing 2 MAs (both can be set to whatever type you like) against eachother, which, in the end, provides a Ratio that visualizes the difference. It is simple yet effective
RSI
An Old yet popular tool which dates back to 1978. In and out of itself it is a great tool, however it still can be enhanced.
The Combination
The RSI and the MARatio are multiplied together, which results in an RSI that is ampliefied by the speed of the market movements.
This proves highly effective, since the MA Ratio is hovering around at the same level. However during trends, it picks up speed in either of both directions which marginally increases the RSI's response the said movement.
Why its Creative, New and Good
While it is a super simple concept, it still holds a lot of power relative to its sophistication. Traders may use it like they used the Vanilla RSI (e.g Trend following, Mean-reversion or other).
Unlike RSI with momentum overlays, this indicator actively uses an MA Ratio multiplier for simplicity and responsiveness.
At last, Its primary goal is to detect trends faster while not creating more noise & false signals.
What not to do
if youre using this indicator, please do NOT change the Fast MA to be slower than to Slow MA or vice versa, since you'll be getting broken & noise induced signals which may not align with your goals.
Great inventions require great Care
As with anything, you should not use this tool without any other confluence. As great as the backtests may be, you dont know what the future holds, be careful!
This indicator is not a guaranteed predicition tool. If youre going to use it for investment decisions, please use it in coherence with other tools.
Thank you for reading!
HEMA Trend Levels [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script plots two Hull-EMA (HEMA) curves to define a color-coded dynamic trend zone and generate context-aware breakout levels, allowing traders to easily visualize prevailing momentum and identify high-probability breakout retests. The script blends smoothed price tracking with conditional box plotting, delivering both trend-following and mean-reversion signals within one system. It is designed to be simple to read visually while offering nuanced trend shifts and test confirmations.
█ CONCEPTS
The Hull-EMA (HEMA) is a hybrid moving average combining the responsiveness of short EMAs with the smoothness of longer ones. It applies layered smoothing: first by subtracting a full EMA from a half-length EMA (doubling the short EMA's weight), and then by smoothing the result again with the square root of the original length. This process reduces lag while maintaining clarity in direction changes. In this script, two HEMAs—fast and slow—are used to define the trend structure and trigger events when they cross. These crossovers generate "trend shift boxes"—temporary support or resistance zones drawn immediately after trend transitions—to detect price retests in the new direction. When price cleanly retests these levels, the script marks them as confirmations with triangle symbols, helping traders isolate better continuation setups. Color-coded bars further enhance visual interpretation: bullish bars when price is above both HEMAs, bearish when below, and neutral (gray) when indecisive.
█ FEATURES
Bullish and bearish bar coloring based on price and HEMA alignment.
Box plotting at each crossover (bullish or bearish) to create short-term decision zones.
Real-time test detection: price must cleanly test and bounce from box levels to be considered valid.
Multiple alert conditions: crossover alerts, test alerts, and trend continuation alerts.
█ USAGE
Use this indicator on any time frame and asset. Adjust HEMA lengths to match your trading style—shorter lengths for scalping or intraday, longer for swing trading. The shaded area between HEMAs helps visually define the current trend. Watch for crossovers: a bullish crossover plots a green support box just below price, and a bearish one plots a red resistance box just above. These zones act as short-term decision points. When price returns to test a box and confirms with strong rejection (e.g., closes above for bullish or below for bearish), a triangle symbol is plotted. These tests can signal strong trend continuation. For traders looking for clean entries, combining the crossover with a successful retest improves reliability. Alerts can be enabled for all key signals: trend shift, test confirmations, and continuation conditions, making it suitable for automated setups or discretionary traders tracking multiple charts.
SMA7 Tail Reversal📌 Description:
The SMA7 Tail Reversal indicator is designed to identify potential counter-trend trading opportunities by checking if candle wicks (tails) respect a key moving average level (SMA7).
This indicator highlights price action where candles are clearly separated from the moving average, suggesting a possible reversal or temporary correction.
📌 How It Works:
Moving Average Calculation:
Calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of length 7 to act as the primary trend filter.
Candle Classification:
Bullish Candle: A candle where the closing price is higher than the opening price, with a short upper wick.
Bearish Candle: A candle where the closing price is lower than the opening price, with a short lower wick.
Conditions for Coloring Candles:
Long Condition (Green Candle):
High & Low are both below the SMA7 line.
Volume is above the 20-period average.
A bullish candle is detected.
Short Condition (Red Candle):
High & Low are both above the SMA7 line.
Volume is above the 20-period average.
A bearish candle is detected.
📌 Visual Representation:
Green Candles: Potential long signals when price action stays below the SMA7 line.
Red Candles: Potential short signals when price action stays above the SMA7 line.
Yellow Line: SMA7, used as the dynamic threshold for signal generation.
📌 Usage:
Best applied to volatile markets with clear trends.
Effective in detecting counter-trend opportunities where price diverges from the SMA7 line.
Works well with additional confirmation tools for better accuracy.

How It Works:
The indicator detects the start and end of the user-defined session based on the specified time and time zone.
During the session, it tracks the highest high and lowest low, updating the levels in real-time.
At the session start, it plots the High, Low, and intermediate levels (75%, 50%, 25%), projecting them forward.
Lines and labels dynamically adjust as new highs or lows occur within the session.
Alerts notify users when the price crosses any active level.
Usage:
Ideal for traders who focus on session-based strategies (e.g., London or New York open). Use it to identify key price zones, monitor breakouts, or set targets. Customize the appearance to suit your chart preferences and enable alerts for real-time trading signals.
Notes:
Ensure your chart’s timeframe aligns with your session duration for optimal results (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts for short sessions).
The indicator overlays directly on the price chart for easy integration with other tools.
