Trend Analysis

Normalized Volume IndexIn the realm of technical analysis, volume is more than just a measure of market activity—it’s a window into trader psychology. Two classic indicators that harness this insight are the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI). Developed in the early 20th century by Paul L. Dysart and later refined by Norman G. Fosback in 1976, these tools aim to distinguish between the behavior of the so-called “smart money” and the broader market crowd. - Positive Volume Index (PVI) tracks price changes only on days when trading volume increases. It assumes that rising volume reflects the actions of less-informed retail traders—those who follow the herd. - Negative Volume Index (NVI), on the other hand, focuses on days when volume decreases, under the premise that institutional investors (the “smart money”) are more active when the market is quiet. This dichotomy allows traders to interpret market sentiment through the lens of volume behavior. For example, a rising NVI during a price uptrend may suggest that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions—often a bullish signal. Traders use PVI and NVI to: - Confirm trends: If NVI is above its moving average, it often signals a strong underlying trend supported by smart money. - Spot reversals: Divergences between price and either index can hint at weakening momentum or upcoming reversals. - Gauge participation: PVI rising faster than price may indicate overenthusiastic retail buying—potentially a contrarian signal. These indicators are often paired with moving averages (e.g., 255-day EMA) to generate actionable signals. Fosback’s research suggested that when NVI is above its one-year EMA, there’s a high probability of a bull market. While PVI and NVI are cumulative indices, normalizing them—for example, by rebasing to 100 or converting to percentage changes—offers several benefits: - Comparability: Normalized indices can be compared across different assets or timeframes. - Clarity: It becomes easier to visualize relative strength or weakness. - Backtesting: Normalized values are more suitable for algorithmic strategies and statistical analysis. Normalization also helps when combining PVI/NVI with other indicators in multi-factor models, ensuring no single metric dominates due to scale differences In essence, PVI and NVI offer a nuanced view of market dynamics by separating the noise of volume surges from the quiet confidence of institutional moves. When normalized and interpreted correctly, they become powerful allies in a trader’s decision-making toolkit. How to use this (Educational material): For instance, on average, when the Negative Volume Index (NVI) remains above its midline, the market tends to trend positively, reflecting consistent institutional participation. However, when the NVI dips and stays below the midline, it often signals a negative trend, indicating that smart money is stepping away or reducing exposure. Another telling scenario occurs when the Positive Volume Index (PVI) drops below the NVI. While this might coincide with a brief price dip, institutions often interpret this as an opportunity to buy the dip, quietly accumulating positions while retail participants exit in panic. The result? A market recovery driven by smart money. Conversely, when the PVI consistently remains above the NVI, it may point to retail enthusiasm outpacing institutional support. This imbalance can flag a tired or overextended trend, where the smart money has already positioned itself defensively. When this pattern persists, there's a high likelihood that institutions will pull the plug, leading to a pronounced trend reversal.

TrendBoxThis indicator is called "TrendBox," designed to help traders analyze daily price ranges using several technical indicators. Below is a breakdown of its functionality, purpose, and key components: Purpose The script overlays indicators on a chart to assess whether the price is above or below key levels and moving in a trend. VIX-based expected range (index fund targeted) - This helps calculate the expected dealers range based on VIX implications. You can expect to see ranges be bought on and sold on. Moving outside this range creates heightened volatility and most of the time a gamma squeeze follows. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) - This allows you to understand the mid point or average pricing of the daily session. If you're paying a premium or getting a discount on the daily session. Daily Market Open - Identifying the market open price is a key level on a daily session and allows you to identify some level of intraday trend. Daily 4-period VWMA - This is a crucial role of our indicator and showing short term time frame bias. Seeing price move over the top of our daily 4 level establishes a short term trend and can be used as a distribution guide, closing positions when we see longer time frame candles close under it. Vice versa for shorting. It also displays a status box (optional) summarizing whether the price is above or below these levels, helping traders quickly evaluate market conditions.

PRO Investing - Apex Engine FREE VERSION🧠 The Apex Engine: True Self-Tuning Intelligence The biggest flaw in most indicators is that they rely on fixed settings. The Apex Engine solves this with two layers of adaptation: Fully Auto-Adjustable Parameters: The engine first analyzes the volatility of the asset on your chart to derive its own optimal "Fast," "Mid," and "Slow" momentum lengths. You never have to guess settings again—it tunes itself for any instrument and timeframe. Performance-Based Selection: It then uses statistical correlation to constantly measure which of its auto-tuned parameters is most in-sync with recent price action. It deploys the "winning" engine to generate signals, ensuring you're always using the most relevant analysis. 🎨 An All-in-One, Unified View We've engineered this script to deliver maximum information with minimum clutter, all within a single indicator. High-Confluence Buy/Sell Signals (▲/▼): Clear triangles appear directly on your chart. These are not simple crossovers; a signal is only plotted if it aligns with the dominant trend (above/below the 200MA) and the market is not choppy (ADX > 20). Compact Oscillator Display: A "lite" version of the oscillator is displayed in a compact panel at the bottom of your price chart, showing the active Velocity line and its signal. Transparent Dashboard: A small table in the corner shows you the engine's "brain" at work, displaying the real-time correlation scores and highlighting the active parameter. Smart Background Coloring: The entire chart background changes color to give you immediate context: 🟩 Green: Bullish trend, favorable conditions for buys. 🟥 Red: Bearish trend, favorable conditions for sells. ⬛ Gray: Caution zone. Market is choppy or counter-trend. This tool is designed to be the ultimate all-in-one solution for traders who value automation, clarity, and adaptive analysis. If you find this indicator powerful, please leave a Boost 👍 and Follow our Profile for more professional-grade tools. Disclaimer: All indicators are for analytical and educational purposes only.

📈 Linearity (ER 0–1) + ADRMAX % Table This indicator combines two powerful concepts to help traders assess trend efficiency and intraday thrust strength: 🔹 1. Linearity (Kaufman Efficiency Ratio) Measures how efficiently price has trended over a selected lookback period. Values range from 0 to 1, where: 1.0 = perfectly trending market (no noise) 0.0 = completely choppy market (all noise) Optional method: New High Persistence (fraction of bars in the period that hit a new high). 🔹 2. ADRMAX % (Average Daily Range Max as %) Calculates the average of top % biggest green daily candles (measured as % range: (high - low) / low × 100) over a given lookback. Projects this ADRMAX % above current lows as a thrust-level expectation. Marks candles exceeding this dynamic threshold, helping identify unusual momentum. 📊 On-Chart Table Display Real-time display of: Linearity (0–1 scale) ADRMAX % Table is color-coded and position-customizable. 🛠️ Use Cases: Trend-following filters: only act when ER > 0.75. Thrust detection: breakout days with range > ADRMAX. Adaptive entries: combine both for better timing.

TRAMA Cross Pivot Points📌 Description: TRAMA Cross Pivot Points This indicator combines the powerful Trend Regularity Adaptive Moving Average (TRAMA) with dynamic pivot point. 🔍 What It Does: Calculates a long-term TRAMA (default length 278) to filter trend direction and smooth volatility. I mostly use the lengths 20, 50, 100, 200, 278, and 314 to mark areas of retest. Detects bullish and bearish price crossovers above and below the TRAMA. Plots real-time pivot levels when a crossover occurs. Draws a dashed horizontal pivot line only at the most recent crossover, keeping your chart clean and focused. Includes alert conditions so you never miss a strategic moment. ⚙️ How It Works: Bullish TRAMA Cross: When price crosses above the TRAMA, the script: Calculates a potential pivot low using DM-style Logic. Plots a green dashed line at that pivot level. Optionally triggers an alert. Bearish TRAMA Cross: When price crosses below the TRAMA: A pivot high is calculated and plotted as a red dashed line. Optional alert lets you know of a possible top. 📈 Pivot Logic: Uses real-time candle data (OHLC) to adjust pivot points dynamically. These pivots can act as potential support/resistance levels or entry zones. 🔔 Alerts: Triggered when price crosses the TRAMA up or down. Ideal for traders looking to enter on structure-based momentum.

OTE+STDV MultiTF IndicatorVERY ROUGH DRAFT OF INDICATOR EXPECTS BUGS. I AM NOT A CODER SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE PERFECT. Place limit orders on yellow lines. You will get a buy signal only during perfect A+ setups. PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE A CODER AND CAN FIX THIS OR MAKE IT BETTER Discord: itscwiby Orange Lines are Rejection Zones Yellow Lines are Limit order spots. Usually you want to take this with a 40 tick SL. You can also use a Fib tool on the green box to get a better entry. Generally you want to look at the 30m chart or higher for these zones and find a optimal entry on a smaller timeframe.

EMA Trend Dashboard Trend Indicator using 3 custom EMA lines. Displays a table with 5 rows(position configurable) -First line shows relative position of EMA lines to each other and outputs Bull, Weak Bull, Flat, Weak Bear, or Bear. EMA line1 should be less than EMA line2 and EMA line 2 should be less than EMA line3. Default is 9,21,50. -Second through fourth line shows the slant of each EMA line. Up, Down, or Flat. Threshold for what is considered a slant is configurable. Also added a "steep" threshold configuration for steep slants. -Fifth line shows exhaustion and is a simple, configurable calculation of the distance between EMA line1 and EMA line2. --Lines one and five change depending on its value but ALL other colors are able to be changed. --Default is somewhat set to work well with Micro E-mini Futures but this indicator can be changed to work on anything. I created it to help get a quick overview of short-term trend on futures. I used ChatGPT to help but I am still not sure if it actually took longer because of it.

Info TablesThis indicator provides two clear tables showing key market metrics, helping you make sense of price action. Each metric is chosen to give you practical insights, and you can customize the display to fit your needs. ## Key Features and Why Metrics Matter ### Main Table Metrics - **ML-Predicted Price**: - **What**: A price forecast based on a machine learning model using past price, volume, and RSI data. - **Why**: Shows where the market might head, helping you gauge if the current price is too high or low compared to the prediction. Useful for spotting potential reversals or continuations. - **Deviation %**: - **What**: The percentage difference between the current price and the predicted price. - **Why**: Tells you how far the market is straying from the ML forecast. A large deviation might suggest overbought/oversold conditions or a trend shift. - **VWAP Deviation %**: - **What**: The percentage difference between the current price and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). - **Why**: VWAP is a benchmark for fair price; deviation shows if the market is stretched above or below this level, aiding entries or exits. - **FRED UNRATE % Change**: - **What**: The percentage change in the U.S. unemployment rate from FRED data. - **Why**: Offers macro context. Rising unemployment can signal economic weakness, impacting market sentiment, while falling rates may boost confidence. - **Open Interest**: - **What**: The total number of open futures contracts for MESM2. - **Why**: High open interest indicates strong market participation, often tied to liquidity and conviction. Low levels might suggest indecision or lack of commitment. - **COT Commercial Long/Short**: - **What**: Commitment of Traders (COT) data showing commercial traders’ long and short positions. - **Why**: Reveals how big players (hedgers) are positioned. More longs than shorts can hint at bullish sentiment, while more shorts suggest bearish views. ### New Metrics Table - **QQE Bias**: - **What**: A momentum indicator based on a smoothed RSI with trailing stops. - **Why**: Highlights bullish (green) or bearish (red) momentum, helping you confirm short-term trade directions or avoid choppy markets (gray). - **Volume Momentum**: - **What**: A score (1–20) comparing current volume to past volume over a lookback period. - **Why**: High scores indicate strong buying/selling pressure, signaling potential breakouts or reversals. Low scores suggest weak participation. - **ATR Volatility**: - **What**: A score (1–20) based on the Average True Range, measuring price volatility. - **Why**: High volatility warns of larger price swings, useful for setting stop-losses or avoiding trades in choppy conditions. Low volatility may indicate consolidation. - **ADX Trend**: - **What**: The Average Directional Index, measuring trend strength. - **Why**: High ADX values confirm strong trends, guiding you to trade with the trend. Low values suggest range-bound markets, better for mean-reversion strategies. - **RSI**: - **What**: Relative Strength Index, showing overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions. - **Why**: Helps identify potential reversal points or confirm momentum. Useful for timing entries in overextended markets. - **Frahm Volatility**: - **What**: A score (1–20) based on true range over a time window (e.g., 24 hours). - **Why**: Measures short-term volatility, helping you adjust position sizes or avoid trading during erratic price moves. - **Frahm Avg Candle (Ticks)**: - **What**: The average candle size in ticks over the same time window. - **Why**: Indicates typical price movement, useful for setting realistic profit targets or stop-losses based on recent market behavior. ### Additional Features - **Plotted Predicted Price**: - **What**: An optional line showing the ML-predicted price on the chart. - **Why**: Lets you visually compare the predicted price to actual price action, making it easier to spot divergence or alignment. - **Custom Gradient Colors**: - **What**: User-defined colors for high/low values in both tables. - **Why**: Makes it quick to see which metrics are at extremes (e.g., high deviation or strong ADX), improving decision-making under pressure. - **Alerts**: - **What**: Notifications for high/low Frahm volatility and bullish/bearish QQE Bias. - **Why**: Keeps you informed of critical changes (e.g., volatility spikes or momentum shifts) without needing to watch the chart constantly. ## Customization Options - **ML Matrix Inputs**: - Adjust the **ML Lookback Period** (e.g., 200–300 for volatile markets, 1000 for trends) to control how much history the ML model uses. - Set the **ML RSI Period** (e.g., 7–10 for fast markets, 20 for calm) to tweak the RSI’s sensitivity in the prediction. - **Plot Settings**: - Toggle the predicted price line and choose its color (default blue) for clear visibility. - **Table Settings**: - Position tables (top/bottom, left/center/right) and show/hide them to focus on what matters. - **Gradient Color Settings**: - Pick colors for high/low values in each table to match your chart or preferences. - **Timeframe & Thresholds**: - Set specific timeframes (e.g., 5-minute for smoother data) and thresholds (e.g., tighter deviation ranges) for each metric to suit your trading style. ## Ideal Use Case This indicator is perfect for MESM2 traders navigating fast-moving markets. The Main Table gives you a big-picture view (predicted price, macro data, and positioning), while the New Metrics Table zooms in on momentum and volatility, ideal for scalping or trend trades. Use it to confirm entries, set stops, or avoid choppy periods. ## Why It’s Valuable The **ML Matrix - Tables Only** puts essential data at your fingertips. Each metric is selected to answer a specific question—Is the price overextended? Is momentum building? Are big players bullish? Are conditions too volatile?—helping you trade with clarity and confidence, whether you’re catching quick moves or riding longer trends.

EMA Cross Strategy only Long📈 EMA Cross Strategy – Only Long Simple. Clean. Powerful. Designed for strong uptrends. This is a long-only trend-following strategy based on the classic crossover of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It’s designed for growth stocks and trending assets where upward momentum dominates. ⚙️ How it works: Entry: when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA Exit: when the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA No shorts, no reversals – just pure trend riding. By default, the strategy uses 50/100 EMA, which has performed exceptionally well on stocks like NVIDIA (NVDA). These settings can be easily customized to fit your preferred asset or timeframe. 📊 Backtest Example – NVIDIA (NVDA, 1D timeframe) Test parameters: Initial capital: $10,000 Order size: 50% of equity per trade (adjustable in settings) Results: Net profit: +$2,037,563.63 USD Gross profit: $2,127,432.33 Gross loss: $89,868.70 Max equity growth: $2,708,648.75 (+99.63%) Drawdown: 20.00% Buy & Hold profit: +$30,636,000 USD (but with far more exposure) The strategy dramatically outperformed passive holding on a risk-adjusted basis, while keeping drawdowns and trade count under control. 🔧 Customization & Risk Management In the Strategy Settings, you can adjust: EMA lengths (default: 50 fast, 100 slow) Order size as a % of equity (e.g., reduce below 50% to lower drawdown) Backtest range and asset type (works well on growth stocks and trending commodities) Try this on assets with strong bullish cycles like NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, or Gold (XAU/USD). ⚠️ Disclaimer This script is for educational and backtesting purposes only. It is not financial advice. Please do your own research and test carefully before trading live.
