Trend Analysis
Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) by riskcipher🧭 Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) – A Simple Price Action Trend Duration Tool
Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) is a lightweight indicator that counts how long a trend persists after a breakout.
It is entirely based on price action, without using any moving averages or smoothing. The goal is to give a simple, rule-based view of trend continuity.
🧠 How It Works (Logic Overview)
This indicator switches between two modes: bullish and bearish.
If close > previous high, the counter enters bullish mode, and starts at +1
While in bullish mode:
If close >= previous low → continue the uptrend → +1 each bar
If close < previous low → trend ends → reset to 0, switch to bearish mode
If close < previous low, the counter enters bearish mode, and starts at -1
While in bearish mode:
If close <= previous high → continue the downtrend → -1 each bar
If close > previous high → trend ends → reset to 0, switch to bullish mode
This provides a bar-by-bar count of trend persistence based on whether price holds structure.
🎯 Use Cases
Track how long a trend continues after a breakout
Quickly detect when trend structure breaks
Help visually filter “strong” vs “weak” moves
Build logic-based alerts (e.g., trend continues for N bars)
🔍 Why Use This Instead of Traditional Indicators?
This is not meant to replace moving averages or trend filters.
But it offers some advantages for those who prefer structure-based logic:
Feature TPC
Based on Price Action ✅ Yes
Uses Lagging Filters ❌ No moving average or smoothing
Trend Duration Measurement ✅ Counts valid consecutive moves
Complexity ⚪ Very simple and transparent
It’s a simple concept and easy to understand, but still useful when combined with other tools or visualized on its own.
⚙️ Technical Notes
Works on any timeframe or instrument
The value is positive during bullish persistence, negative during bearish
Value resets to 0 when trend structure breaks
All logic is calculated bar-by-bar, in real time
✅ Example Usage Ideas
Highlight candles when TPC value crosses a certain threshold (e.g., strong breakout continuation)
Use the zero-cross as a potential reversal warning
Filter trend signals in your existing strategies
Daily 10, 50, 150, 200 DMAIrrespective of the Chart, i.e be it weekly or monthly DMA will be displayed on Daily Values.
Do note that On a weekly chart, this gives you the DMA value from only one daily candle per week, usually Friday’s close. So if a DMA crossover (say, 10-DMA crossing 50-DMA) actually happens on Wednesday, you won’t see that reflected until Friday's value is displayed on the weekly chart. That causes crossover dates to appear wrong or delayed.
Volume Momentum [BackQuant]Volume Momentum
The Volume Momentum indicator is designed to help traders identify shifts in market momentum based on volume data. By analyzing the relative volume momentum, this indicator provides insights into whether the market is gaining strength (uptrend) or losing momentum (downtrend). The strategy uses a combination of percentile-based volume normalization, weighted moving averages (WMA), and exponential moving averages (EMA) to assess volume trends.
The system focuses on the relationship between price and volume, utilizing normalized volume data to highlight key market changes. This approach allows traders to focus on volume-driven price movements, helping them to capture momentum shifts early.
Key Features
1. Volume Normalization and Percentile Calculation:
The signed volume (positive when the close is higher than the open, negative when the close is lower) is normalized against the rolling average volume. This normalized volume is then subjected to a percentile interpolation, allowing for a robust statistical measure of how the current volume compares to historical data. The percentile level is customizable, with 50 representing the median.
2. Weighted and Smoothed Moving Averages for Trend Detection:
The normalized volume is smoothed using weighted moving averages (WMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA). These smoothing techniques help eliminate noise, providing a clearer view of the underlying momentum. The WMA filters out short-term fluctuations, while the EMA ensures that the most recent data points have a higher weight, making the system more responsive to current market conditions.
3. Trend Reversal Detection:
The indicator detects momentum shifts by evaluating whether the volume momentum crosses above or below zero. A positive volume momentum indicates a potential uptrend, while a negative momentum suggests a possible downtrend. These trend reversals are identified through crossover and crossunder conditions, triggering alerts when significant changes occur.
4. Dynamic Trend Background and Bar Coloring:
The script offers customizable background coloring based on the trend direction. When volume momentum is positive, the background is colored green, indicating a bullish trend. When volume momentum is negative, the background is colored red, signaling a bearish trend. Additionally, the bars themselves can be colored based on the trend, further helping traders quickly visualize market momentum.
5. Alerts for Momentum Shifts:
The system provides real-time alerts for traders to monitor when volume momentum crosses a critical threshold (zero), signaling a trend reversal. The alerts notify traders when the market momentum turns bullish or bearish, assisting them in making timely decisions.
6. Customizable Parameters for Flexible Usage:
Users can fine-tune the behavior of the indicator by adjusting various parameters:
Volume Rolling Mean: The period used to calculate the average volume for normalization.
Percentile Interpolation Length: Defines the range over which the percentile is calculated.
Percentile Level: Determines the percentile threshold (e.g., 50 for the median).
WMA and Smoothing Periods: Control the smoothing and response time of the indicator.
7. Trend Background Visualization and Trend-Based Bar Coloring:
The background fill is shaded according to whether the volume momentum is positive or negative, providing a visual cue to indicate market strength. Additionally, bars can be color-coded to highlight the trend, making it easier to see the trend’s direction without needing to analyze numerical data manually.
8. Note on Mean-Reversion Strategy:
If you take the inverse of the signals, this indicator can be adapted for a mean-reversion strategy. Instead of following the trend, the strategy would involve buying assets that are underperforming and selling assets that are overperforming, based on volume momentum. However, it’s important to note that this approach may not work effectively on highly correlated assets, as their price movements may be too similar, reducing the effectiveness of the mean-reversion strategy.
Final Thoughts
The Volume Momentum indicator offers a comprehensive approach to analyzing volume-based momentum shifts in the market. By using volume normalization, percentile interpolation, and smoothed moving averages, this system helps identify the strength and direction of market trends. Whether used for trend-following or adapted for mean-reversion, this tool provides traders with actionable insights into the market’s volume-driven movements, improving decision-making and portfolio management.

Volume Point of Control with Fib Based Profile🍀Description:
This indicator is a comprehensive volume profile analysis tool designed to identify key price levels based on trading activity within user-defined timeframes. It plots the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL), along with dynamically calculated Fibonacci levels derived from the developing period's range. It offers extensive customization for both historical and developing levels.
🍀Core Features:
Volume Profiling (POC, VAH, VAL):
Calculates and plots the POC (price level with the highest volume), VAH, and VAL for a selected timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
The Value Area percentage is configurable. 70% is common on normal volume profiles, but this script allows you to configure multiple % levels via the fib levels. I recommend using 2 versions of this indicator on a chart, one has Value Area at 1 (100% - high and low of lookback) and the second is a specified VA area (i.e. 70%) like in the chart snapshot above. See examples at the bottom.
Historical Levels:
Plots POC, VAH, and VAL from previous completed periods.
Optionally displays only "Unbroken" levels – historical levels that price has not yet revisited, which can act as stronger magnets or resistance/support.
The user can manage the number of historical lines displayed to prevent chart clutter.
Developing Levels:
Shows the POC, VAH, and VAL as they form in real-time during the current, incomplete period. This provides insight into intraday/intra-period value migration.
Dynamic Fibonacci Levels:
Calculates and plots Fibonacci retracement/extension levels based dynamically on the range between the developing POC and the developing VAH/VAL.
Offers 8 configurable % levels above and below POC that can be toggled on/off.
Visual Customization:
Extensive options for colors, line styles, and widths for all plotted levels.
Optional gradient fill for the Value Area that visualizes current price distance from POC - option to invert the colors as well.
Labels for developing levels and Fibonacci levels for easy identification.
🍀Characteristics:
Volume-Driven: Levels are derived from actual trading volume, reflecting areas of high participation and price agreement/disagreement.
Timeframe Specific: The results are entirely dependent on the chosen profile timeframe.
Dynamic & Static Elements: Developing levels and Fibs update live, while historical levels remain fixed once their period closes.
Lagging (Historical) & Potentially Leading: Historical levels are based on the past, but are often respected by future price action. Developing levels show current dynamics.
🍀How to Use It:
Identifying Support & Resistance: Historical and developing POCs, VAHs, and VALs are often key areas where price may react. Unbroken levels are particularly noteworthy.
Market Context & Sentiment: Trading above the POC suggests bullish strength/acceptance of higher prices, while trading below suggests bearishness/acceptance of lower prices.
Entry/Exit Zones: Interactions with these levels (rejections, breakouts, tests) can provide potential entry or exit signals, especially when confirming with other analysis methods.
Dynamic Targets: The Fibonacci levels calculated from the developing POC-VA range offer potential intraday/intra-period price targets or areas of interest.
Understanding Value Migration: Observing the movement of the developing POC/VAH/VAL throughout the period reveals where value is currently being established.
🍀Potential Drawbacks:
Input Sensitivity: The choice of timeframe, Value Area percentage, and volume resolution heavily influences the generated levels. Experimentation is needed for optimal settings per instrument/market. (I've found that Range Charts can provide very accurate volume levels on TV since the time element is removed. This helps to refine the accuracy of price levels with high volume.)
Volume Data Dependency: Requires accurate volume data. May be less reliable on instruments with sparse or questionable volume reporting.
Chart Clutter: Enabling all features simultaneously can make the chart busy. Utilize the line management inputs and toggle features as needed.
Not a Standalone Strategy: This indicator provides context and key levels. It should be used alongside other technical analysis tools and price action reading for robust decision-making.
Developing Level Fluctuation: Developing POC/VA/Fib levels can shift considerably, especially early in a new period, before settling down as more volume accumulates and time passes.
🍀Recommendations/Examples:
I recommend have this indicator on your chart twice, one has the VA set at 1 (100%) and has the fib levels plotted. The second has the VA set to 0.7 (70%) to highlight the defined VA.
Here is an example with 3 on a chart. VA of 100%, VA of 80%, and VA of 20%

RS Triple MA Confluence Signal (Lower Pane)This indicator outputs a binary signal (1 or 0) based on triple moving average confluence of an asset’s relative strength vs a benchmark (e.g., SPY, BTC, etc).
✅ A value of 1 indicates full confluence, where the asset's relative strength is above three customizable moving averages (short, medium, and long).
❌ A value of 0 indicates confluence is off.
This version is designed to be used in a lower pane for:
Quick visual scanning

Mean Absolute Deviation Trend | Lyro RSMean Absolute Deviation Trend
Introduction
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) Trend is a precision tool designed to capture directional bias using the Mean Absolute Deviation from a dynamic moving average. It identifies trend shifts by measuring average volatility around price, highlighting bullish and bearish phases through adaptive bands.
Signal Insight
The 𝓜𝓐𝓓 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 plots a dynamic bands around a user-defined moving average, using Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) to reflect volatility-adjusted boundaries.
A bullish signal is generated when price breaks above the upper MAD band—indicating positive momentum and potential trend continuation to the upside.
A bearish signal occurs when price falls below the lower MAD band—signaling increased downside pressure and possible trend continuation to the downside.
This approach gives traders a volatility-sensitive trend filter that can enhance signal quality across different market environments.
Real-World Example
𝓜𝓐𝓓 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 delivers a clear and timely long signal, capturing a +22.90% move. Upon exit, it seamlessly flips to a short position, securing an additional +13.34% —demonstrating its strength in both trending directions.
Framework
The 𝓜𝓐𝓓 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 indicator identifies directional shifts by measuring price deviation from a dynamic moving average. At its core, it calculates the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of price around a user-selected moving average.
The indicator builds adaptive upper and lower bands by multiplying the MAD value above and below the moving average. When price crosses above the upper band, it triggers a bullish signal. When price crosses below the lower band, it signals bearish momentum which gives a bearish signal.
This method provides an elegant balance between volatility sensitivity and trend clarity, adapting in real-time to changing market behavior. The moving average type and band sensitivity can be tuned to fit various strategies—from scalping to swing trading.

1. INDICATOR OVERVIEW & CORE FUNCTIONALITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LOI indicator combines multiple VWAP calculations with moving averages across different timeframes. It's designed to show where institutional money is flowing and help identify key support and resistance levels that actually matter in today's markets.
Primary Functions:
- Multi-timeframe VWAP analysis (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly)
- Advanced moving average integration (EMA, SMA, HMA)
- Real-time trend direction detection
- Institutional flow analysis
- Dynamic support/resistance identification
Target Users: Day traders, swing traders, position traders, and institutional analysts seeking comprehensive market structure analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. VWAP FOUNDATION & HISTORICAL CONTEXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historical Development: VWAP started in the 1980s when big institutional traders needed a way to measure if they were getting good fills on their massive orders. Unlike regular price averages, VWAP weighs each price by the volume traded at that level. This makes it incredibly useful because it shows you where most of the real money changed hands.
Mathematical Foundation: The basic math is simple: you take each price, multiply it by the volume at that price, add them all up, then divide by total volume. What you get is the true "average" price that reflects actual trading activity, not just random price movements.
Formula: VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
Where typical price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Institutional Behavior Patterns:
- When price trades above VWAP, institutions often look to sell
- When it's below, they're usually buying
- Creates natural support and resistance that you can actually trade against
- Serves as benchmark for execution quality assessment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME VWAP ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Innovation: Here's where LOI gets interesting. Instead of just showing daily VWAP like most indicators, it displays four different timeframes simultaneously:
**Daily VWAP Implementation**:
- Resets every morning at market open
- Provides clearest picture of intraday institutional sentiment
- Primary tool for day trading strategies
- Most responsive to immediate market conditions
**Weekly VWAP System**:
- Resets each Monday (or first trading day)
- Smooths out daily noise and volatility
- Perfect for swing trades lasting several days to weeks
- Captures weekly institutional positioning
**Monthly VWAP Analysis**:
- Resets at beginning of each calendar month
- Captures bigger institutional rebalancing at month-end
- Fund managers often operate on monthly mandates
- Significant weight in intermediate-term analysis
**Yearly VWAP Perspective**:
- Resets annually for full-year institutional view
- Shows long-term institutional positioning
- Where pension funds and sovereign wealth funds operate
- Critical for major trend identification
Confluence Zone Theory: The magic happens when multiple VWAP levels cluster together. These confluence zones often become major turning points because different types of institutional money all see value at the same price.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVING AVERAGE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-Type Implementation: The indicator includes three types of moving averages, each with its own personality and application:
**Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)**:
- React quickly to recent price changes
- Displayed as solid lines for easy identification
- Optimal performance in trending market conditions
- Higher sensitivity to current price action
**Simple Moving Averages (SMAs)**:
- Treat all historical data points equally
- Appear as dashed lines in visual display
- Slower response but more reliable in choppy conditions
- Traditional approach favored by institutional traders
**Hull Moving Averages (HMAs)**:
- Newest addition to the system (dotted line display)
- Created by Alan Hull in 2005
- Solves classic moving average dilemma: speed vs. accuracy
- Manages to be both responsive and smooth simultaneously
Technical Innovation: Alan Hull's solution addresses the fundamental problem where moving averages are either too slow (missing moves) or too fast (generating false signals). HMAs achieve optimal balance through weighted calculation methodology.
Period Configuration:
- 5-period: Short-term momentum assessment
- 50-period: Intermediate trend identification
- 200-period: Long-term directional confirmation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. TREND DIRECTION SIGNAL DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real-Time Momentum Analysis: One of LOI's best features is its real-time trend detection system. Next to each moving average, visual symbols provide immediate trend assessment:
Symbol System:
- ▲ Rising average (bullish momentum confirmation)
- ▼ Falling average (bearish momentum indication)
- ► Flat average (consolidation or indecision period)
Update Frequency: These signals update in real-time with each new price tick and function across all configured timeframes. Traders can quickly scan daily and weekly trends to assess alignment or conflicting signals.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
- Simultaneous daily and weekly trend comparison
- Immediate identification of trend alignment
- Early warning system for potential reversals
- Momentum confirmation for entry decisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. VISUAL DESIGN & DISPLAY FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color Psychology Framework: The color scheme isn't random but based on psychological associations and trading conventions:
- **Blue Tones**: Institutional neutrality (VWAP levels)
- **Green Spectrum**: Growth and stability (weekly timeframes)
- **Purple Range**: Longer-term sophistication (monthly analysis)
- **Orange Hues**: Importance and attention (yearly perspective)
- **Red Tones**: User-defined significance (custom levels)
Adaptive Display Technology: The indicator automatically adjusts decimal places based on the instrument you're trading. High-priced stocks show 2 decimals, while penny stocks might show 8. This keeps the display incredibly clean regardless of what you're analyzing - no cluttered charts or overwhelming information overload.
Smart Labeling System: Advanced positioning algorithm automatically spaces all elements to prevent overlap, even during extreme zoom levels or multiple timeframe analysis. Every level stays clearly readable without any visual chaos disrupting your analysis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. CUSTOM LEVEL INTEGRATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User-Defined Level System: Beyond the calculated VWAP and moving average levels, traders can add custom horizontal lines at any price point for personalized analysis.
Strategic Applications:
- **Psychological Levels**: Round numbers, previous significant highs/lows
- **Technical Levels**: Fibonacci retracements, pivot points
- **Fundamental Targets**: Analyst price targets, earnings estimates
- **Risk Management**: Stop-loss and take-profit zones
Integration Features:
- Seamless incorporation with smart labeling system
- Custom color selection for visual organization
- Extension capabilities across all chart timeframes
- Maintains display clarity with existing indicators
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. REPAINT PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Critical Trading Feature: This addresses one of the most significant issues in live trading applications. Most multi-timeframe indicators "repaint," meaning they display different signals when viewing historical data versus real-time analysis.
Protection Benefits:
- Ensures every displayed signal could have been traded when it appeared
- Eliminates discrepancies between historical and live analysis
- Provides realistic performance expectations
- Maintains signal integrity across chart refreshes
Configuration Options:
- **Protection Enabled**: Default setting for live trading
- **Protection Disabled**: Available for backtesting analysis
- User-selectable toggle based on analysis requirements
- Applies to all multi-timeframe calculations
Implementation Note: With protection enabled, signals may appear one bar later than without protection, but this ensures all signals represent actionable opportunities that could have been executed in real-time market conditions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. PRACTICAL TRADING APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Day Trading Strategy**:
Focus on daily VWAP with 5-period moving averages. Look for bounces off VWAP or breaks through it with volume. Short-term momentum signals provide entry and exit timing.
**Swing Trading Approach**:
Weekly VWAP becomes your primary anchor point, with 50-period averages showing intermediate trends. Position sizing based on weekly VWAP distance.
**Position Trading Method**:
Monthly and yearly VWAP provide broad market context, while 200-period averages confirm long-term directional bias. Suitable for multi-week to multi-month holdings.
**Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy**:
The highest-probability setups occur when daily, weekly, and monthly VWAPs cluster together, especially when multiple moving averages confirm the same direction. These represent institutional consensus zones.
Risk Management Integration:
- VWAP levels serve as dynamic stop-loss references
- Multiple timeframe confirmation reduces false signals
- Institutional flow analysis improves position sizing decisions
- Trend direction signals optimize entry and exit timing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. SETUP & CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial Configuration: Start with default settings and adjust based on individual trading style and market focus. Short-term traders should emphasize daily and weekly timeframes, while longer-term investors benefit from monthly and yearly level analysis.
Transparency Optimization: The transparency settings allow clear price action visibility while maintaining level reference points. Most traders find 70-80% transparency optimal - it provides a clean, unobstructed view of price movement while maintaining all critical reference levels needed for analysis.
Integration Strategy: Remember that no indicator functions effectively in isolation. LOI provides excellent context for institutional flow and trend direction analysis, but should be combined with complementary analysis tools for optimal results.
Performance Considerations:
- Multiple timeframe calculations may impact chart loading speed
- Adjust displayed timeframes based on trading frequency
- Customize color schemes for different market sessions
- Regular review and adjustment of custom levels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ANALYSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Advantage: What makes LOI different is its focus on where real money actually trades. By combining volume-weighted calculations with multiple timeframes and trend detection, it cuts through market noise to show you what institutions are really doing.
Key Success Factor: Understanding that different timeframes serve different purposes is essential. Use them together to build a complete picture of market structure, then execute trades accordingly.
The integration of institutional flow analysis with technical trend detection creates a comprehensive trading tool that addresses both short-term tactical decisions and longer-term strategic positioning.

Quantum Edge Pro - Adaptive AICategorical Market Morphisms (CMM) - Where Abstract Algebra Transcends Reality
A Revolutionary Application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to Financial Markets
Bridging Pure Mathematics and Market Analysis Through Functorial Dynamics
Theoretical Foundation: The Mathematical Revolution
Traditional technical analysis operates on Euclidean geometry and classical statistics. The Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM) indicator represents a paradigm shift - the first application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to financial markets. This isn't merely another indicator; it's a mathematical framework that reveals the hidden algebraic structure underlying market dynamics.
Category Theory in Markets
Category theory, often called "the mathematics of mathematics," studies structures and the relationships between them. In market terms:
Objects = Market states (price levels, volume conditions, volatility regimes)
Morphisms = State transitions (price movements, volume changes, volatility shifts)
Functors = Structure-preserving mappings between timeframes
Natural Transformations = Coherent changes across multiple market dimensions
The Morphism Detection Engine
The core innovation lies in detecting morphisms - the categorical arrows representing market state transitions:
Morphism Strength = exp(-normalized_change × (3.0 / sensitivity))
Threshold = 0.3 - (sensitivity - 1.0) × 0.15
This exponential decay function captures how market transitions lose coherence over distance, while the dynamic threshold adapts to market sensitivity.
Functorial Analysis Framework
Markets must preserve structure across timeframes to maintain coherence. Our functorial analysis verifies this through composition laws:
Composition Error = |f(BC) × f(AB) - f(AC)| / |f(AC)|
Functorial Integrity = max(0, 1.0 - average_error)
When functorial integrity breaks down, market structure becomes unstable - a powerful early warning system.
Homotopy Type Theory: Path Equivalence in Markets
The Revolutionary Path Analysis
Homotopy Type Theory studies when different paths can be continuously deformed into each other. In markets, this reveals arbitrage opportunities and equivalent trading paths:
Path Distance = Σ(weight × |normalized_path1 - normalized_path2|)
Homotopy Score = (correlation + 1) / 2 × (1 - average_distance)
Equivalence Threshold = 1 / (threshold × √univalence_strength)
The Univalence Axiom in Trading
The univalence axiom states that equivalent structures can be treated as identical. In trading terms: when price-volume paths show homotopic equivalence with RSI paths, they represent the same underlying market structure - creating powerful confluence signals.
Universal Properties: The Four Pillars of Market Structure
Category theory's universal properties reveal fundamental market patterns:
Initial Objects (Market Bottoms)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM all other objects TO the initial object
Market Translation = All selling pressure naturally flows toward the bottom
Detection Algorithm:
Strength = local_low(0.3) + oversold(0.2) + volume_surge(0.2) + momentum_reversal(0.2) + morphism_flow(0.1)
Signal = strength > 0.4 AND morphism_exists
Terminal Objects (Market Tops)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM the terminal object TO all others
Market Translation = All buying pressure naturally flows away from the top
Product Objects (Market Equilibrium)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property combining multiple objects into balanced state
Market Translation = Price, volume, and volatility achieve multi-dimensional balance
Coproduct Objects (Market Divergence)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property representing branching possibilities
Market Translation = Market bifurcation points where multiple scenarios become possible
Consciousness Detection: Emergent Market Intelligence
The most groundbreaking feature detects market consciousness - when markets exhibit self-awareness through fractal correlations:
Consciousness Level = Σ(correlation_levels × weights) × fractal_dimension
Fractal Score = log(range_ratio) / log(memory_period)
Multi-Scale Awareness:
Micro = Short-term price-SMA correlations
Meso = Medium-term structural relationships
Macro = Long-term pattern coherence
Volume Sync = Price-volume consciousness
Volatility Awareness = ATR-change correlations
When consciousness_level > threshold , markets display emergent intelligence - self-organizing behavior that transcends simple mechanical responses.

Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM)Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM) - Where Abstract Algebra Transcends Reality
A Revolutionary Application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to Financial Markets
Bridging Pure Mathematics and Market Analysis Through Functorial Dynamics
Theoretical Foundation: The Mathematical Revolution
Traditional technical analysis operates on Euclidean geometry and classical statistics. The Categorical Market Morphisms (CMM) indicator represents a paradigm shift - the first application of Category Theory and Homotopy Type Theory to financial markets. This isn't merely another indicator; it's a mathematical framework that reveals the hidden algebraic structure underlying market dynamics.
Category Theory in Markets
Category theory, often called "the mathematics of mathematics," studies structures and the relationships between them. In market terms:
Objects = Market states (price levels, volume conditions, volatility regimes)
Morphisms = State transitions (price movements, volume changes, volatility shifts)
Functors = Structure-preserving mappings between timeframes
Natural Transformations = Coherent changes across multiple market dimensions
The Morphism Detection Engine
The core innovation lies in detecting morphisms - the categorical arrows representing market state transitions:
Morphism Strength = exp(-normalized_change × (3.0 / sensitivity))
Threshold = 0.3 - (sensitivity - 1.0) × 0.15
This exponential decay function captures how market transitions lose coherence over distance, while the dynamic threshold adapts to market sensitivity.
Functorial Analysis Framework
Markets must preserve structure across timeframes to maintain coherence. Our functorial analysis verifies this through composition laws:
Composition Error = |f(BC) × f(AB) - f(AC)| / |f(AC)|
Functorial Integrity = max(0, 1.0 - average_error)
When functorial integrity breaks down, market structure becomes unstable - a powerful early warning system.
Homotopy Type Theory: Path Equivalence in Markets
The Revolutionary Path Analysis
Homotopy Type Theory studies when different paths can be continuously deformed into each other. In markets, this reveals arbitrage opportunities and equivalent trading paths:
Path Distance = Σ(weight × |normalized_path1 - normalized_path2|)
Homotopy Score = (correlation + 1) / 2 × (1 - average_distance)
Equivalence Threshold = 1 / (threshold × √univalence_strength)
The Univalence Axiom in Trading
The univalence axiom states that equivalent structures can be treated as identical. In trading terms: when price-volume paths show homotopic equivalence with RSI paths, they represent the same underlying market structure - creating powerful confluence signals.
Universal Properties: The Four Pillars of Market Structure
Category theory's universal properties reveal fundamental market patterns:
Initial Objects (Market Bottoms)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM all other objects TO the initial object
Market Translation = All selling pressure naturally flows toward the bottom
Detection Algorithm:
Strength = local_low(0.3) + oversold(0.2) + volume_surge(0.2) + momentum_reversal(0.2) + morphism_flow(0.1)
Signal = strength > 0.4 AND morphism_exists
Terminal Objects (Market Tops)
Mathematical Definition = Unique morphisms exist FROM the terminal object TO all others
Market Translation = All buying pressure naturally flows away from the top
Product Objects (Market Equilibrium)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property combining multiple objects into balanced state
Market Translation = Price, volume, and volatility achieve multi-dimensional balance
Coproduct Objects (Market Divergence)
Mathematical Definition = Universal property representing branching possibilities
Market Translation = Market bifurcation points where multiple scenarios become possible
Consciousness Detection: Emergent Market Intelligence
The most groundbreaking feature detects market consciousness - when markets exhibit self-awareness through fractal correlations:
Consciousness Level = Σ(correlation_levels × weights) × fractal_dimension
Fractal Score = log(range_ratio) / log(memory_period)
Multi-Scale Awareness:
Micro = Short-term price-SMA correlations
Meso = Medium-term structural relationships
Macro = Long-term pattern coherence
Volume Sync = Price-volume consciousness
Volatility Awareness = ATR-change correlations
When consciousness_level > threshold , markets display emergent intelligence - self-organizing behavior that transcends simple mechanical responses.

It uses a combination of log-scale price slopes, RSI momentum, and Ichimoku cloud structure (via the very useful Tenkan-Kijun "clamp") to evaluate whether a price move has both strength and sustainability. When certain thresholds are met, it marks the beginning of a potential run with a green circle below the price chart, helping traders spot entries early in high-momentum conditions.
In addition to identifying the start of a run, the indicator also looks for end-of-run caution signals. These are marked with orange circles, indicating potential exhaustion or overextension. The caution logic doesn’t require all conditions to trigger at once — instead, it uses a weighted scoring system based on RSI extension, slowing price momentum (second derivative), and the widening of the Ichimoku clamp. If these conditions cross a confidence threshold within a set number of bars after a run begins, the caution signal fires. This allows traders to stay alert to reversal or consolidation risks without being prematurely spooked by noise. So, choose to ignore them, but they are there for you to assess.
You can fine-tune sensitivity with a set of adjustable parameters, including minimum slope values, RSI reversion awareness (bias weight), clamp thresholds, and spacing between signals. So play around to see what works best for you! For advanced users, the option to toggle between static or dynamically calculated RSI baselines and adapt Ichimoku settings for crypto vs. legacy markets adds another layer of contextual accuracy. Whether you're trading Bitcoin on a 4-hour chart or scanning equities on a daily timeframe, this tool helps bring clarity to trend acceleration and potential fatigue, all while minimizing visual clutter and giving you intuitive visual cues.

Percent Change of Range CandlesPercent Change of Range Candles 2.0 – Explanation and Usage Guide - with a new visual display
Purpose of the Indicator
This indicator measures the percentage change in price relative to the total range (high - low) over a defined period. Its primary function is to display trend strength — whether the price has significantly risen or fallen in relation to its historical high and low over the selected length.
It serves as a tool for identifying momentum shifts, extreme zones, and potential entry and exit points.
How It Works
Main signal (c):
Calculated as the difference between the current close and the close length periods ago, divided by the total range over the same period.
The result is multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Positive values indicate bullish pressure, and negative values indicate bearish pressure.
Supportive lines (o, h, l):
o is the average of the last 5 values of c – used to observe momentum smoothing.
h and l are adaptive values based on short-term recalculations (25% of the main length), adjusted depending on the current direction of the trend.
Indicator Levels and Their Meaning
Level Meaning
0 A key boundary between bullish and bearish zones. Proximity to this line often suggests consolidation or a potential reversal.
+70 Strong bullish momentum. May indicate overbought strength – potential for a pullback.
+100 Extreme overbought zone. This could signal market exhaustion and an upcoming drop.
-70 Strong bearish momentum. Could indicate oversold strength, but still within a trending market.
-100 Extreme oversold zone. Signals a possible reversal or at least a short-term bounce.
How to Use It in Trading
Around the Zero Level (0):
This is the neutral zone. When c approaches zero after a strong trend, it can indicate momentum weakening and a potential trend shift.
A cross from negative to positive values could signal early bullish reversal.
A cross from positive to negative could indicate early bearish reversal.
Extreme Levels ±100:
These are not automatic "buy" or "sell" signals but mark extreme market conditions.
Approaching +100 suggests the market has risen too much, possibly overheated – be ready for a correction.
Approaching -100 suggests the market has fallen too much, potentially oversold – be prepared for a recovery.
Best used in combination with other filters like RSI, MA, price action, or volume.
Visual Interpretation
Green line (positive c) represents bullish momentum.
Red line (negative c) represents bearish momentum.
Gray lines (o, h, l) help visualize averages and wicks of the price move for better understanding of the internal price dynamics.
Conclusion
The Percent Change of Range Candles indicator is useful for:
Tracking medium-term price momentum.
Detecting overbought/oversold conditions.
Identifying consolidation phases and possible reversals.
For best results, use it in combination with other indicators and with a broader view of market context (e.g., higher timeframes).
