Daily Price RangeThe indicator is designed to analyze an instrument’s volatility based on daily extremes (High-Low) and to compare the current day’s range with the typical (median) range over a selected period. This helps traders assess how much of the "usual" daily movement has already occurred and how much may still be possible during the trading day.

Adaptive Volume-Weighted RSI (AVW-RSI)Concept Summary
The AVW-RSI is a modified version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), where each price change is weighted by the relative trading volume for that period. This means periods of high volume (typically driven by institutions or “big money”) have a greater influence on the RSI calculation than periods of low volume.
Why AVW-RSI Helps Traders
Avoids Weak Signals During Low Volume
Standard RSI may show overbought/oversold zones even during low-volume periods (e.g., during lunch hours or after news).
AVW-RSI gives less weight to these periods, avoiding misleading signals.
Amplifies Strong Momentum Moves
If RSI is rising during high volume, it's more likely driven by institutional buying—AVW-RSI reflects that stronger by weighting the RSI component.
Filters Out Retail Noise
By prioritizing high-volume candles, it naturally discounts fakeouts caused by thin markets or retail-heavy moves.
Highlights Institutional Entry/Exit
Useful for spotting hidden accumulation/distribution that classic RSI would miss.
How It Works (Calculation Logic)
Traditional RSI Formula Recap
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss (over N periods)
Modified Step – Apply Volume Weight
For each period
Gain_t = max(Close_t - Close_{t-1}, 0)
Loss_t = max(Close_{t-1} - Close_t, 0)
Weight_t = Volume_t / AvgVolume(N)
WeightedGain_t = Gain_t * Weight_t
WeightedLoss_t = Loss_t * Weight_t
Weighted RSI
AvgWeightedGain = SMA(WeightedGain, N)
AvgWeightedLoss = SMA(WeightedLoss, N)
RS = AvgWeightedGain / AvgWeightedLoss
AVW-RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Visual Features on Chart
Line Color Gradient
Color gets darker as volume weight increases, signaling stronger conviction.
Overbought/Oversold Zones
Traditional: 70/30
Suggested AVW-RSI zones: Use dynamic thresholds based on historical volatility (e.g., 80/20 for high-volume coins).
Volume Spike Flags
Mark RSI turning points that occurred during volume spikes with a special dot/symbol.
Trading Strategies with AVW-RSI
1. Weighted RSI Divergence
Regular RSI divergence becomes more powerful when volume is high.
AVW-RSI divergence with volume spike is a strong signal of reversal.
2. Trend Confirmation
RSI crossing above 50 during rising volume is a good entry signal.
RSI crossing below 50 with high volume is a strong exit or short trigger.
3. Breakout Validation
Price breaking resistance + AVW-RSI > 60 with volume = Confirmed breakout.
Price breaking but AVW-RSI < 50 or on low volume = Potential fakeout.
Example Use Case
Stock XYZ is approaching a resistance zone. A trader sees:
Standard RSI: 65 → suggests strength.
Volume is 3x the average.
AVW-RSI: 78 → signals strong momentum with institutional backing.
The trader enters confidently, knowing this isn't just low-volume hype.
Limitations / Tips
Works best on liquid assets (Forex majors, large-cap stocks, BTC/ETH).
Should be used alongside price action and volume analysis—not standalone.
Periods of extremely high volume (news events) might need smoothing to avoid spikes.

MA Dispersion+MA Dispersion+ — read the “breathing space” between your moving-averages
Get instant feedback on trend strength, volatility expansion and mean-reversion — across any timeframe.
MA Dispersion+ turns the humble moving-average stack into a single, easy-to-read oscillator that tells you at a glance whether price is coiling or fanning out.
🧩 What it does
Plugs into your favourite MA setup
• Pick the classic 5 / 20 / 50 / 200 lengths or disable any combination with one click.
• Choose the MA engine you trust — SMA, EMA, RMA, VWMA or WMA.
• Works on any timeframe thanks to TradingView’s security() engine.
Measures “spread”
For every bar it calculates the absolute distance of each selected MA from their average.
The tighter the stack, the lower the value; the wider the fan, the higher the value.
Adds professional-grade controls
• Weighting — let short-term MAs dominate (Inverse Length), keep everything equal, or dial in your own custom weights.
• Normalisation — convert the raw distance into a percentage of price, ATR multiples, or scale by the MAs’ own mean so you can compare symbols of any price or volatility.
🔍 How traders use it
Trend confirmation – rising dispersion while price breaks out = momentum is genuine.
Volatility squeeze – dispersion parking near zero warns that a big move is loading.
Multi-TF outlook – drop one pane per timeframe (e.g. 5 m, 1 h, 1 D) and see which layer of the market is driving.
Mean-reversion plays – spikes that fade quickly often coincide with exhaustion and snap-backs.
⚙️ Quick-start
Add MA Dispersion+ to your chart.
Set the pane’s timeframe in the first input.
Tick the MA lengths you actually use.
(Optional) Pick a weighting scheme and a normaliser.
Repeat the indicator for as many timeframes as you like — each instance keeps its own settings.
✨ Why you’ll love it
Zero clutter – one orange line tells you what four separate MAs whisper.
Configurable yet bullet-proof – all lengths are hard-coded constants, so Pine never complains.
Context aware – normalisation lets you compare BTC’s $60 000 chaos with EURUSD’s four--decimals calm.
Lightweight – no labels, no drawings, no background processing — perfect for mobile and multi-pane layouts.
Give MA Dispersion+ a try and let your charts breathe — you’ll never look at moving-average ribbons the same way again.
Happy trading!
NeuroTrendNeuroTrend is an advanced, self-adjusting trend analysis system that continuously adapts to changing market conditions using volatility-aware smoothing, momentum weighting, and intelligent trend classification. It provides real-time trend detection, confidence scoring, early reversal warnings, and slope projection, all delivered through a coaching dashboard and structured rule-based commentary system.
At its core, NeuroTrend uses two EMAs whose smoothing lengths change automatically based on current volatility, measured by the ATR relative to price, and momentum bias, measured by RSI displacement from the neutral level. These adaptive EMAs create a flexible baseline that adjusts to the pace of the market. From these EMAs, the system calculates angular slope and derives a slope power score, which reflects directional momentum weighted by volatility.
NeuroTrend classifies each bar into one of five market phases: Impulse, Cooling, Reversal Risk, Stall, or Neutral. This classification is based on slope strength, slope variability, and RSI behavior. Each phase offers specific context for whether to enter, continue, or avoid a position.
The indicator uses what is referred to as a neural memory engine, which is inspired by the idea of memory but is not a neural network or machine learning model. Instead, it is a statistical recalibration system that adjusts thresholds using recent ATR conditions and slope standard deviation. This allows the indicator to remain aligned with the current market environment without the need for manual tuning.
Although NeuroTrend is fully adaptive, it includes inputs for the base fast and slow EMAs. These inputs define the central anchor points around which the adaptive logic operates. This gives the trader the ability to control the default behavior of the indicator while still benefiting from real-time responsiveness to volatility and momentum.
To assess the strength of a trend, NeuroTrend computes a confidence score based on four elements: DMI trend strength, directional bias from DI+ and DI–, slope normalization, and volatility efficiency measured by ATR in relation to EMA distance. This score is used to inform alerts, commentary, and dashboard visualization.
The indicator also includes a slope projection engine that estimates near-term direction based on slope change and acceleration. This projection is scaled and clamped using a dynamic volatility factor to prevent unrealistic or unstable values.
Reversal and stall detection are built in. Reversal detection is based on slope collapsing, sign flipping, and RSI weakness. Stall detection is triggered when slope magnitude is low, RSI is flat, and ATR is compressed. These filters help prevent entries in low-quality or high-risk environments.
The system also includes AI-style commentary. This feature is not powered by machine learning or natural language processing. It is rule-based, using prioritized conditions to generate clear statements that reflect the current market state. Messages such as "Strong trend forming" or "Reversal risk rising" are created by predefined logic that adapts to the market.
A visual dashboard is provided on the chart. It displays the current phase, trend direction, slope score, confidence level, reversal status, stall condition, and projected slope angle. This helps traders interpret market behavior at a glance without scanning multiple indicators.
Alerts are triggered only when specific conditions are met: trend strength must be in the impulse phase, confidence must be high, and there must be no active reversal or stall conditions. This ensures alerts are reserved for high-quality setups with strong directional alignment.

Price Lag Factor (PLF)📊 Price Lag Factor (PLF) for Crypto Traders: A Comprehensive Breakdown
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) is a momentum indicator designed to identify overextended price movements and gauge market momentum. It is particularly optimized for the crypto market, which is known for its high volatility and rapid trend shifts.
🔎 What is the Price Lag Factor (PLF)?
The PLF measures the difference between long-term and short-term price momentum and scales it dynamically based on recent volatility. This helps traders identify when the market might be overbought or oversold while filtering out noise.
The formula used in the PLF calculation is:
PLF = (Z-Long - Z-Short) / Stdev(PLF)
Where:
Z-long: Z-score of the long-term moving average (50-period by default).
Z-short: Z-score of the short-term moving average (14-period by default).
Stdev(PLF): Standard deviation of the PLF over a longer period (50-period by default).
🧠 How to Interpret the PLF:
1. Trend Direction:
Positive PLF (Green Bars): Indicates bullish momentum. The long-term trend is up, and short-term movements are confirming it.
Negative PLF (Red Bars): Indicates bearish momentum. The long-term trend is down, and short-term movements are consistent with it.
2. Momentum Strength:
PLF near Zero (±0.5): Low momentum; trend direction is not strong.
PLF between ±1 and ±2: Moderate momentum, indicating that the market is moving with strength but not in an overextended state.
PLF beyond ±2: High momentum (overbought/oversold), indicating potential trend exhaustion and a possible reversal.
📈 Trading Strategies:
1. Trend Following:
Bullish Signal:
Enter long when PLF crosses above 0 and remains green.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to reduce false signals.
Bearish Signal:
Enter short when PLF crosses below 0 and remains red.
Use trend confirmation (e.g., moving average crossover) for better accuracy.
2. Reversal Trading:
Overbought Signal:
If PLF rises above +2, look for signs of bearish divergence or a reversal pattern to consider a short entry.
Oversold Signal:
If PLF falls below -2, watch for bullish divergence or a support bounce to consider a long entry.
3. Momentum Divergence:
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low while PLF makes a higher low.
Indicates weakening bearish momentum and a potential bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high while PLF makes a lower high.
Signals weakening bullish momentum and a potential bearish reversal.
💡 Best Practices:
Combine with Volume:
Volume spikes during high PLF readings can confirm trend continuation.
Low volume during PLF extremes may hint at false breakouts.
Watch for Extreme Levels:
PLF beyond ±2 suggests overextended price action. Use caution when entering new positions.
Confirm with Other Indicators:
Use with Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Bollinger Bands to get a better sense of overbought/oversold conditions.
Overlay with a moving average to gauge trend consistency.
🚀 Why the PLF Works for Crypto:
Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to rapid trend changes. The PLF's adaptive scaling ensures it remains relevant regardless of market conditions.
It highlights momentum shifts more accurately than static indicators because it accounts for changing volatility in its calculation.
🚨 Disclaimer for Traders Using the Price Lag Factor (PLF) Indicator:
The Price Lag Factor (PLF) indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool to gauge momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. However, it should not be relied upon as a sole decision-making factor for trading or investing.
Important Points to Consider:
Market Risk: Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial assets involves significant risk. The PLF may not accurately predict future price movements, especially during unexpected market events.
Indicator Limitations: No technical indicator, including the PLF, is infallible. False signals can occur, particularly in low-volume or highly volatile conditions.
Supplementary Analysis: Always combine PLF insights with other technical indicators, fundamental analysis, and risk management strategies to make informed decisions.
Personal Judgment: Traders should use their own discretion when interpreting PLF signals and never trade based solely on this indicator.
No Guarantees: The PLF is designed for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always perform thorough research and consider consulting with a professional financial advisor before making any trading decisions.

🔼 Green Triangle (Buy Pressure): A bullish candle with a large body and small upper/lower wicks, indicating strong upward momentum and buyer control.
🔽 Red Triangle (Sell Pressure): A bearish candle with a large body and small wicks, showing strong downward momentum and seller dominance.
Designed for traders who prefer clean, price-action-based signals without text labels or distracting overlays. Ideal for scalping, trend confirmation, or identifying exhaustion zones.
Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)The Divergence Macro Sentiment Indicator (DMSI)
Think of DMSI as your daily “mood ring” for the markets. It boils down the tug-of-war between growth assets (S&P 500, copper, oil) and safe havens (gold, VIX) into one clear histogram—so you instantly know if the bulls have broad backing or are charging ahead with one foot tied behind.
🔍 What You’re Seeing
Green bars (above zero): Risk-on conviction.
Equities and commodities are rallying while gold and volatility retreat.
Red bars (below zero): Risk-off caution.
Gold or VIX are climbing even as stocks rise—or stocks aren’t fully joined by oil/copper.
Zero line: The line in the sand between “full-steam ahead” and “proceed with care.”
📈 How to Read It
Cross-Zero Signals
Bullish trigger: DMSI flips up through zero after a red stretch → fresh long entries.
Bearish trigger: DMSI tumbles below zero from green territory → tighten stops or go defensive.
Divergence Warnings
If SPX makes new highs but DMSI is rolling over (lower green bars or red), that’s your early red flag—rallies may fizzle.
Strength Confirmation
On pullbacks, only buy dips when DMSI ≥ 0. When DMSI is deeply positive, you can be more aggressive on position size or add leverage.
💡 Trade Guidance & Use Cases
Trend Filter: Only take your S&P or sector-ETF long setups when DMSI is non-negative—avoids hollow rallies.
Macro Pair Trades:
Deep red DMSI: go long gold or gold miners (GLD, GDX).
Strong green DMSI: lean into cyclicals, industrials, even energy names.
Risk Management:
Scale out as DMSI fades into negative territory mid-trade.
Scale in or add to winners when it stays bullish.
Swing Confirmation: Overlay on any oscillator or price-pattern system—accept signals only when the macro tide is flowing in your favour.
🚀 Why It Works
Markets don’t move in a vacuum. When stocks rally but the “real-economy” metals and volatility aren’t cooperating, something’s off under the hood. DMSI catches those cross-asset cracks before price alone can—and gives you an early warning system for smarter entries, tighter risk, and bigger gains when the macro trend really kicks in.
ICT iFVG Detector and Alert [by ote618]Description
This script detects ICT - fair value gaps (FVG) formed by price gaps between Candle 1 and Candle 3, then monitors the next 5 candles for an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When Candle 1 high is below Candle 3 low (BISI)
Bearish FVG: When Candle 1 low is above Candle 3 high (SIBI)
Once an FVG is detected, the script checks the next 5 candles:
A Bullish FVG becomes a Bearish IFVG if price closes below Candle 1 high
A Bearish FVG becomes a Bullish IFVG if price closes above Candle 1 low
Only the first bar that validates the FVG triggers the transition to an IFVG.
Visual Output
A shaded rectangle is plotted to mark the original FVG zone (from Candle 1 to Candle 3)
Color-coded:
Red for Bearish IFVG (validated Bullish IG)
Green for Bullish IFVG (validated Bearish IG)
The rectangle extends from Candle 1 to the validating bar
Alerts
You can receive alerts when an FVG becomes an IFVG:
Configurable to fire only on selected timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 60m)
Alerts include the direction and the chart timeframe
Settings
Enable Alerts For Timeframe: Choose which timeframe(s) trigger alerts
This tool helps traders identify inverse FVGs (iFVG), a useful ICT concept.
Internal Market Structure + Order BlocksInternal Market Structure + Order Blocks
This indicator combines internal market structure shifts with order block detection to help traders identify key zones of institutional interest and potential trend reversals. It highlights bullish and bearish engulfing conditions that mark the formation of valid order blocks, and it plots internal structure shifts—early signals that may precede a larger move.
Key Features:
-Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks: Highlighted with shaded boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) following engulfing price action.
-Internal Structure Shifts: Small black triangles show early signs of a potential reversal, offering a unique perspective beyond standard structure analysis.
-Engulfing Breakouts: Marks when price breaks previous opposing structure, confirming new directional intent.
-Alerts Included: Get notified on key structure breaks and internal shifts to stay ahead of potential setups.
This tool is designed to support price action trading by visually mapping key structural changes and zones of interest directly on your chart. It is not intended to function as a standalone trading strategy , but rather as a supplementary tool to inform your own analysis and discretion.
Note: The arrows, polylines, and colored trendlines shown in the chart example are not generated by the indicator. They have been added manually for illustration purposes to demonstrate how the indicator can be used to trace market structure. Likewise, the order blocks in the example are manually drawn and may differ slightly from the indicator's automatic calculations, serving only to enhance visual clarity.
Extended Altman Z-Score ModelThe Extended Altman Z-Score Model represents a significant advancement in financial analysis and risk assessment, building upon the foundational work of Altman (1968) while incorporating contemporary data analytics approaches as proposed by Fung (2023). This sophisticated model enhances the traditional bankruptcy prediction framework by integrating additional financial metrics and modern analytical techniques, offering a more comprehensive approach to identifying financially distressed companies.
The model's architecture is built upon two distinct yet complementary scoring systems. The traditional Altman Z-Score components form the foundation, including Working Capital to Total Assets (X1), which measures a company's short-term liquidity and operational efficiency. Retained Earnings to Total Assets (X2) provides insight into the company's historical profitability and reinvestment capacity. EBIT to Total Assets (X3) evaluates operational efficiency and earning power, while Market Value of Equity to Total Liabilities (X4) assesses market perception and leverage. Sales to Total Assets (X5) measures asset utilization efficiency.
These traditional components are enhanced by extended metrics introduced by Fung (2023), which provide additional layers of financial analysis. The Cash Ratio (X6) offers insights into immediate liquidity and financial flexibility. Asset Composition (X7) evaluates the quality and efficiency of asset utilization, particularly in working capital management. The Debt Ratio (X8) provides a comprehensive view of financial leverage and long-term solvency, while the Net Profit Margin (X9) measures overall profitability and operational efficiency.
The scoring system employs a sophisticated formula that combines the traditional Z-Score with weighted additional metrics. The traditional Z-Score is calculated as 1.2X1 + 1.4X2 + 3.3X3 + 0.6X4 + 1.0X5, while the extended components are weighted as follows: 0.5 * X6 + 0.3 * X7 - 0.4 * X8 + 0.6 * X9. This enhanced scoring mechanism provides a more nuanced assessment of a company's financial health, incorporating both traditional bankruptcy prediction metrics and modern financial analysis approaches.
The model categorizes companies into three distinct risk zones, each with specific implications for financial stability and required actions. The Safe Zone (Score > 3.0) indicates strong financial health, with low probability of financial distress and suitability for conservative investment strategies. The Grey Zone (Score between 1.8 and 3.0) suggests moderate risk, requiring careful monitoring and additional fundamental analysis. The Danger Zone (Score < 1.8) signals high risk of financial distress, necessitating immediate attention and potential risk mitigation strategies.
In practical application, the model requires systematic and regular monitoring. Users should track the Extended Score on a quarterly basis, monitoring changes in individual components and comparing results with industry benchmarks. Component analysis should be conducted separately, identifying specific areas of concern and tracking trends in individual metrics. The model's effectiveness is significantly enhanced when used in conjunction with other financial metrics and when considering industry-specific factors and macroeconomic conditions.
The technical implementation in Pine Script v6 provides real-time calculations of both traditional and extended scores, offering visual representation of risk zones, detailed component breakdowns, and warning signals for critical values. The indicator automatically updates with new financial data and provides clear visual cues for different risk levels, making it accessible to both technical and fundamental analysts.
However, as noted by Fung (2023), the model has certain limitations that users should consider. It may not fully account for industry-specific factors, requires regular updates of financial data, and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools. The model's effectiveness can be enhanced by incorporating industry-specific benchmarks and considering macroeconomic factors that may affect financial performance.

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.

TTM Scalper AlertTTM Scalper Alert — Real-Time Pivot Detector
Description:
This is a custom implementation of the classic TTM Scalper Alert, adapted to show early pivot detection and trend structure tracking in real-time. The script identifies potential highs and lows before the full pivot confirmation—giving traders an early edge—and removes outdated signals once pivots are confirmed.
It supports two levels of detection:
Fast Alert Pivots : Identified after Alert Period candles confirm a local reversal.
Confirmed Pivots : Validated only after Pivot Period candles on both sides ensure a true swing high/low.
How It Works:
Fast Detection (Early Pivots):
Detected after Alert Period (AP) candles. These are provisional signals, shown as triangle labels (▲▼) near current price. Only the latest signal is shown; previous fast pivots are deleted to avoid clutter.
Confirmed Pivots:
Detected with a full lookback of Pivot Period (PP) on both sides of the candle. Shown using plotshape with triangle markers (▲▼). Serve as anchors for price structure analysis (HH-HL or LL-LH tracking).
Custom Source Option:
Users can choose to base pivots on High/Low or Close/Open range. Helps adjust sensitivity depending on volatility or bar structure.
How to Interpret:
Trend & Market Structure:
Use Confirmed Pivots (plotshapes) to analyze market structure:
HH → HL: Uptrend
LL → LH: Downtrend
Watch for breaks in structure for possible reversals
Early Alerts:
The floating labels (▲▼) represent early warnings of a potential pivot. Use them to anticipate:
Short-term exhaustion
Quick scalping entries
Divergence setups
Inputs:
Source : Choose from High/Low or Close/Open — affects how pivots are calculated
Alert Period : How fast the script detects an early reversal pattern (used for entry timing)
Pivot Period : How many candles before/after to confirm a full pivot (used for structural analysis)
Best For:
Traders who follow price action and structure
Scalpers and intraday traders who want early signals
Anyone using pivot highs/lows for confluence with other tools (like RSI divergence, Bollinger Bands, VWAP, etc.)
Pro Tips:
Combine this with:
Trend Magic or Supertrend for directional bias
Volume spike filters to confirm reversal intent
RSI/CCI divergence to strengthen reversal pivots
Adjust Alert Period to tune early signal sensitivity (lower = faster but noisier)
