Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator [Alpha Extract]The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator combines the smoothing characteristics of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks with mean reversion analysis to create a powerful momentum oscillator. This indicator applies Heikin-Ashi transformation twice - first to price data and then to the oscillator itself - resulting in smoother signals while maintaining sensitivity to trend changes and potential reversal points. 🔶 CALCULATION Heikin-Ashi Transformation: Converts regular OHLC data to smoothed Heikin-Ashi values Component Analysis: Calculates trend strength, body deviation, and price deviation from mean Oscillator Construction: Combines components with weighted formula (40% trend strength, 30% body deviation, 30% price deviation) Double Smoothing: Applies EMA smoothing and second Heikin-Ashi transformation to oscillator values Signal Generation: Identifies trend changes and crossover points with overbought/oversold levels Formula: HA Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4 HA Open = (Previous HA Open + Previous HA Close) / 2 Trend Strength = Normalized consecutive HA candle direction Body Deviation = (HA Body - Mean Body) / Mean Body * 100 Price Deviation = ((HA Close - Price Mean) / Price Mean * 100) / Standard Deviation * 25 Raw Oscillator = (Trend Strength * 0.4) + (Body Deviation * 0.3) + (Price Deviation * 0.3) Final Oscillator = 50 + (EMA(Raw Oscillator) / 2) 🔶 DETAILS Visual Features: Heikin-Ashi Candlesticks: Smoothed oscillator representation using HA transformation with vibrant teal/red coloring Overbought/Oversold Zones: Horizontal lines at customizable levels (default 70/30) with background highlighting in extreme zones Moving Averages: Optional fast and slow EMA overlays for additional trend confirmation Signal Dashboard: Real-time table showing current oscillator status (Overbought/Oversold/Bullish/Bearish) and buy/sell signals Reference Lines: Middle line at 50 (neutral), with 0 and 100 boundaries for range visualization Interpretation: Above 70: Overbought conditions, potential selling opportunity Below 30: Oversold conditions, potential buying opportunity Bullish HA Candles: Green/teal candles indicate upward momentum Bearish HA Candles: Red candles indicate downward momentum MA Crossovers: Fast EMA above slow EMA suggests bullish momentum, below suggests bearish momentum Zone Exits: Price moving out of extreme zones (above 70 or below 30) often signals trend continuation 🔶 EXAMPLES Mean Reversion Signals: When the oscillator reaches extreme levels (above 70 or below 30), it identifies potential reversal points where price may revert to the mean. Example: Oscillator reaching 80+ levels during strong uptrends often precedes short-term pullbacks, providing profit-taking opportunities. Trend Change Detection: The double Heikin-Ashi smoothing helps identify genuine trend changes while filtering out market noise. Example: When oscillator HA candles change from red to teal after oversold readings, this confirms potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish. Moving Average Confirmation: Fast and slow EMA crossovers on the oscillator provide additional confirmation of momentum shifts. Example: Fast EMA crossing above slow EMA while oscillator is rising from oversold levels provides strong bullish confirmation signal. Dashboard Signal Integration: The real-time dashboard combines oscillator status with directional signals for quick decision-making. Example: Dashboard showing "Oversold" status with "BUY" signal when HA candles turn bullish provides clear entry timing. 🔶 SETTINGS Customization Options: Calculation: Oscillator period (default 14), smoothing factor (1-50, default 2) Levels: Overbought threshold (50-100, default 70), oversold threshold (0-50, default 30) Moving Averages: Toggle display, fast EMA length (default 9), slow EMA length (default 21) Visual Enhancements: Show/hide signal dashboard, customizable table position Alert Conditions: Oversold bounce, overbought reversal, bullish/bearish MA crossovers The Heikin-Ashi Mean Reversion Oscillator provides traders with a sophisticated momentum tool that combines the smoothing benefits of Heikin-Ashi analysis with mean reversion principles. The double transformation process creates cleaner signals while the integrated dashboard and multiple confirmation methods help traders identify high-probability entry and exit points during both trending and ranging market conditions.

DCI### 📌 **DCI – Direction Correlation Index** #### 🔹 **What It Is** The **Direction Correlation Index (DCI)** is a tool for measuring how closely a group of up to 10 symbols move together in both *trend correlation* and *short-term direction*. It helps identify whether a group of assets is acting in unison or moving independently. --- #### ⚙️ **How It Works** DCI outputs three key metrics: 1. **Average Correlation** * Measures the average of all pairwise correlations between the selected symbols. * Prices are first standardized using a z-score (based on simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period). * Correlation is calculated using Pearson’s method for all 45 symbol pairs. * Result ranges from: * `+1.00` = strong positive correlation * `0.00` = no correlation * `-1.00` = strong inverse correlation 2. **Direction Agreement %** * Checks whether each symbol is moving up or down compared to its previous bar. * Calculates the percentage of symbols moving in the same direction. * For example: if 7 of 10 symbols are moving up and 3 are moving down, the direction agreement is 70%. 3. **Strong Correlation Count** * Counts how many of the 45 symbol pairs have an absolute correlation above `0.7`. * Helps highlight how many pairs are currently highly correlated. --- #### 📈 **How to Use It** 1. **Select Symbols** * In the **Settings**, you can input up to 10 custom symbols. These can be stocks, indices, forex pairs, crypto, or any tradable asset. 2. **Adjust the Lookback Period** * Defines how many bars back are used to calculate z-scores and correlations. * Default is `12`. Use shorter periods for faster response; longer periods for smoother, slower data. 3. **Interpret the Table (Plotted on Chart)** * **Avg Corr**: Tells you how much the group is co-moving. High correlation often reflects unified market behavior. * **Dir Agr %**: Shows directional sync. High values mean most instruments are trending the same way in the current bar. * **> 0.7**: The number of pairs currently strongly correlated (|corr| > 0.7). --- #### 🧠 **Practical Usage Tips** * Use DCI to monitor **sector alignment**, **portfolio behavior**, or **market group momentum**. * Confirm trend strength by checking if high correlation aligns with a strong direction agreement. * Low correlation + mixed direction can signal **choppy or indecisive markets**. * High correlation + strong direction = **trend confirmation** across your selected instruments. - Made with DeepSeek

FVG Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The FVG Trailing Stop indicator tracks unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVG) data to produce a Trailing Stop indicator able to determine if the market is uptrending or downtrending easily. 🔶 USAGE The FVG Trailing Stop is intended to identify trend directions through its position relative to the closing price: Bullish: Price is located above the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bearish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue upwards. Bearish State: Price is located below the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bullish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue downwards. The Trailing Stop originates from two extremities obtained from the average of respective unmitigated FVGs. The specific directional average is also displayed as a more transparent secondary line, however, the trailing stop is derived from this value and a new trend will not be detected until the opposite directional average is crossed. Price reaching the Trailing Stop is caused by retracements and can lead to the following scenarios: Outcome 1: The directional average is crossed next, indicating a new trend direction. Outcome 2: The directional average is held as support or resistance, leading to a new impulse and a continuation of the trend. 🔹 Reset on Cross While price crossing the Trailing Stop should be considered as a sign of an upcoming trend change; it is possible for the price to still evolve outside it. As a solution, we have included the "Reset on Cross" feature, which (as the name suggests) hides and resets the Trailing Stop each time it is crossed, leading to a "Neutral" state. This opens the opportunity for the Trailing Stop to be displayed again once the price moves again in the direction of the pre-established trend. A trader might use this to accumulate positions within a specific trend. 🔶 DETAILS The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects the point of the FVG farthest from the current price when formed. For Upwards FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG. For Downwards FVGs this is the top of the FVG. The data is managed only to use the last input lookback of FVGs. If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the lookback is full, the oldest will be deleted. From there, it uses a "trailing" logic only to move the Trailing Stop in one direction until the trailing stop resets or the direction flips. The extremities used to calculate the Trailing Stop are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent-obtained averages. 🔶 SETTINGS Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVGs that the script will use. Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the Trailing Stop to reduce erratic results. Reset on Cross: When enabled, hide and reset the Trailing Stop until the price starts moving in the pre-established trend direction again.

ORB2The "ORB2" Indicator (Opening Range Breakout 2) is designed to identify the key price range at the beginning of the trading day—commonly referred to as the opening range. Its main purpose is to help traders detect potential breakout points from this range, which are often used as signals for trade entries. 📌 Purpose The indicator visually marks the highest (high) and lowest (low) price within a defined time interval at the start of the session (e.g., from 09:15 to 09:20). These values form what’s known as the opening range, which is often considered a consolidation zone before the market chooses a direction. ⚙️ How It Works Time Setup: The user defines the time window during which the opening range is monitored (default: 09:15–09:20). The high and low values are tracked within this interval. Session Detection: When the defined session begins (is_first), the indicator records the current high and low as the initial ORB levels. Range Updating: During the session, if a new candle has a higher high or a lower low than the previously recorded ORB range, the indicator updates the levels accordingly. Visualization: The ORB zone is displayed as a shaded area (a blue fill between a green upper line and a red lower line)—but only when applied to intra-day charts with a time interval less than or equal to the specified inputMax (e.g., 5 minutes). 🎯 Purpose and Benefits Quick breakout detection – Helps traders easily identify when price breaks out of the initial consolidation. Clear visualization – Highlights the high/low boundaries and range area, making breakout strategies more effective. Customizability – The user can adjust the session time and the maximum allowed chart resolution for display.

Percent Change of Range Candles📌 Indicator Description: "Percent Change of Range Candles" This indicator is designed to visualize the percentage price change over a specified number of candles, relative to the historical market range. Instead of traditional candles, it uses a custom "range candle" visualization that reflects relative changes in context with the highest and lowest points within a given period. 🎯 Purpose and Application The goal of this indicator is to: Show how much the current price has changed compared to the price length candles ago (default: 100). Express this change as a percentage of the total price range during that period. Help traders identify extreme price movements, whether bullish or bearish. Serve as an additional filter for momentum zones, divergences, or overextended conditions. ⚙️ How It Works 🔹 Core Calculation: Range: The difference between the highest and lowest price over the selected period (length). Price Change: The difference between the current close and the close length bars ago. Percentage Value: (price_change / range) * 100 🔹 Additional Logic: The synthetic open value is calculated as the average of the last 5 c values. The high and low of each range candle are adjusted: If c is negative, the high is replaced with a shorter-term percentage change (25% of length). If c is positive, the low is adjusted in the same way. 🔹 Visualization: Displays custom candles based on percentage change, not real price. Candle color is green if the current value is above the recent average, and red if below. Horizontal reference lines are drawn at +100, +70, 0, -70, and -100, helping to identify extremes. ✅ Advantages and Use Cases Detects market extremes and potential reversal zones. Useful in volatility or momentum-based strategies. Can serve as a signal filter or divergence detector when combined with other tools (e.g., RSI, MACD).

EU Session Only StrategyThe name of the strategy is the EU session only, but you choose which time is important for you to follow, it can also be the beginning of the US session, a few hours after the news (2 hours after the US open level) or based on the daily open level. 📌 Indicator Description: "EU Session Only Strategy" This TradingView indicator, written in Pine Script version 6, represents a simple yet effective intraday trading strategy focused exclusively on the European trading session. 🎯 Purpose and Use The goal of this strategy is to: Automatically identify the European session open price for the current trading day. Trade only during a defined intraday time window (e.g., between 08:00 and 18:00 UTC). Enter a trade only if the price moves a certain distance (in pips) away from the EU open level. Limit the number of trades per day to avoid overtrading. Automatically close all open positions at the end of the day to minimize overnight risk. ⚙️ How It Works 🔹 1. EU Open Level When the European session opens (e.g., 09:00 UTC), the strategy records the opening price at that moment (eu_open_price). This level is displayed as a red horizontal line on the chart. 🔹 2. Entry Conditions The strategy checks if the current price: Is above the EU open level by at least a defined number of pips → Buy signal. Is below the EU open level by at least a defined number of pips → Sell signal. Trading is allowed only within the specified time range (e.g., 08:00 to 18:00 UTC). A maximum number of trades per day is enforced (e.g., 2 trades max). 🔹 3. Exit Conditions If an opposite signal appears during the day, the strategy automatically closes the current position. At the start of each new day, all open positions are closed, regardless of direction or profit. ✅ Advantages A clear and efficient system based on price reaction around a key daily level. Suitable for automated backtesting and optimization on TradingView. Reduces risk with daily trade limits and end-of-day auto-closing. Ideal for forex pairs that show volatility during the European session (e.g.,GOLD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.).

Zero Lag Trend Strategy (MTF) [AlgoAlpha]# Zero Lag Trend Strategy (MTF) - Complete Guide ## Overview The Zero Lag Trend Strategy is a sophisticated trading system that combines zero-lag exponential moving averages with volatility bands and EMA-based entry/exit filtering. This strategy is designed to capture trending movements while minimizing false signals through multiple confirmation layers. ## Core Components ### 1. Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA) - **Purpose**: Primary trend identification with reduced lag - **Calculation**: Uses a modified EMA that compensates for inherent lag by incorporating price momentum - **Formula**: `EMA(price + (price - price ), length)` where lag = (length-1)/2 - **Default Length**: 70 periods (adjustable) ### 2. Volatility Bands - **Purpose**: Define trend strength and entry/exit zones - **Calculation**: Based on ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by a user-defined multiplier - **Upper Band**: ZLEMA + (ATR * multiplier) - **Lower Band**: ZLEMA - (ATR * multiplier) - **Default Multiplier**: 1.2 (adjustable) ### 3. EMA Filter/Exit System - **Purpose**: Entry filtering and exit signal generation - **Default Length**: 9 periods (fully customizable) - **Color**: Blue line on chart - **Function**: Prevents counter-trend entries and provides clean exit signals ## Entry Logic ### Long Entry Conditions 1. **Primary Signal**: Price crosses above the upper volatility band (strong bullish momentum) 2. **Additional Entries**: Price crosses above ZLEMA while already in an uptrend (if enabled) 3. **EMA Filter**: Price must be above the EMA filter line 4. **Confirmation**: All conditions must align simultaneously ### Short Entry Conditions 1. **Primary Signal**: Price crosses below the lower volatility band (strong bearish momentum) 2. **Additional Entries**: Price crosses below ZLEMA while already in a downtrend (if enabled) 3. **EMA Filter**: Price must be below the EMA filter line 4. **Confirmation**: All conditions must align simultaneously ## Exit Logic **Simple and Clean**: Positions are closed when price crosses the EMA filter line in the opposite direction: - **Long Exit**: Price crosses below the EMA filter - **Short Exit**: Price crosses above the EMA filter ## Multi-Timeframe Analysis The strategy includes a real-time table showing trend direction across 5 different timeframes: - Default timeframes: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D (all customizable) - Color-coded signals: Green for bullish, Red for bearish - Helps confirm overall market direction before taking trades ## Key Parameters ### Main Calculations - **Length (70)**: Zero-lag EMA calculation period - **Band Multiplier (1.2)**: Controls volatility band width ### Strategy Settings - **Enable Additional Trend Entries**: Allow multiple entries during strong trends - **EMA Exit Length (9)**: Period for the entry filter and exit EMA ### Timeframes - **5 customizable timeframes** for multi-timeframe trend analysis ### Appearance - **Bullish Color**: Default green (#00ffbb) - **Bearish Color**: Default red (#ff1100) ## Visual Elements ### Chart Display - **ZLEMA Line**: Color-coded trend line (green/red based on trend direction) - **Volatility Bands**: Dynamic upper/lower bands that appear based on trend - **EMA Filter**: Blue line for entry filtering and exits - **Entry Signals**: - Large arrows (▲▼) for primary trend signals - Small arrows for additional trend entries - Tiny letters (L/S) for actual strategy entries ### Information Table - **Position**: Top-right corner - **Content**: Real-time trend status across all configured timeframes - **Updates**: Continuously updated with current market conditions ## Strategy Advantages ### Trend Following Excellence - Captures strong trending moves with reduced whipsaws - Multiple confirmation layers prevent false entries - Dynamic bands adapt to market volatility ### Risk Management - Clear, objective exit rules - EMA filter prevents counter-trend trades - Multi-timeframe confirmation reduces bad trades ### Flexibility - Fully customizable parameters - Works across different timeframes and instruments - Optional additional trend entries for maximum profit potential ### Visual Clarity - Clean, professional chart display - Easy-to-read signals and trends - Comprehensive multi-timeframe overview ## Best Practices ### Parameter Optimization - **Length**: Higher values (50-100) for longer-term trends, lower values (20-50) for shorter-term - **Band Multiplier**: Higher values (1.5-2.0) reduce signals but increase quality - **EMA Length**: Shorter periods (5-13) for quick exits, longer periods (20-50) for trend riding ### Market Conditions - **Trending Markets**: Enable additional trend entries for maximum profit - **Choppy Markets**: Use higher band multiplier and longer EMA for fewer, higher-quality signals - **Different Timeframes**: Adjust all parameters proportionally when changing chart timeframes ### Multi-Timeframe Usage - Align trades with higher timeframe trends - Use lower timeframes for precise entry timing - Avoid trades when timeframes show conflicting signals ## Risk Considerations - Like all trend-following strategies, may struggle in ranging/choppy markets - EMA exit system prioritizes trend continuation over quick profit-taking - Multiple timeframe analysis requires careful interpretation - Backtesting recommended before live trading with any parameter changes ## Conclusion The Zero Lag Trend Strategy provides a comprehensive approach to trend trading with built-in risk management and multi-timeframe analysis. Its combination of advanced technical indicators, clear entry/exit rules, and customizable parameters makes it suitable for both novice and experienced traders seeking to capture trending market movements.

Kaufman Trend Strength Signal█ Overview Kaufman Trend Strength Signal is an advanced trend detection tool that decomposes price action into its underlying directional trend and localized oscillation using a vector-based Kalman Filter. By integrating adaptive smoothing and dynamic weighting via a weighted moving average (WMA), this indicator provides real-time insight into both trend direction and trend strength — something standard moving averages often fail to capture. The core model assumes that observed price consists of two components: (1) a directional trend, and (2) localized noise or oscillation. Using a two-step Predict & Update cycle, the filter continuously refines its trend estimate as new market data becomes available. █ How It Works This indicator employs a Kalman Filter model that separates the trend from short-term fluctuations in a price series. Predict & Update Cycle : With each new bar, the filter predicts the price state and updates that prediction using the latest observed price, producing a smooth but adaptive trend line. Trend Strength Normalization : Internally, the oscillator component is normalized against recent values (N periods) to calculate a trend strength score between -100 and +100. (Note: The oscillator is not plotted on the chart but is used for signal generation.) Filtered MA Line : The trend component is plotted as a smooth Kalman Filter-based moving average (MA) line on the main chart. Threshold Cross Signals : When the internal trend strength crosses a user-defined threshold (default: ±60), visual entry arrows are displayed to signal momentum shifts. █ Key Features Adaptive Trend Estimation : Real-time filtering that adjusts dynamically to market changes. Visual Buy/Sell Signals : Entry arrows appear when the trend strength crosses above or below the configured threshold. Built-in Range Filter : The MA line turns blue when trend strength is weak (|value| < 10), helping you filter out choppy, sideways conditions. █ How to Use Trend Detection :  • Green MA = bullish trend  • Red MA = bearish trend  • Blue MA = no trend / ranging market Entry Signals :  • Green triangle = trend strength crossed above +Threshold → potential bullish entry  • Red triangle = trend strength crossed below -Threshold → potential bearish entry █ Settings Entry Threshold : Level at which the trend strength triggers entry signals (default: 60) Process Noise 1 & 2 : Control the filter’s responsiveness to recent price action. Higher = more reactive; lower = smoother. Measurement Noise : Sets how much the filter "trusts" price data. High = smoother MA, low = faster response but more noise. Trend Lookback (N2) : Number of bars used to normalize trend strength. Lower = more sensitive; higher = more stable. Trend Smoothness (R2) : WMA smoothing applied to the trend strength calculation. █ Visual Guide Green MA Line → Bullish trend Red MA Line → Bearish trend Blue MA Line → Sideways/range Green Triangle → Entry signal (trend strengthening) Red Triangle → Entry signal (trend weakening) █ Best Practices In high-volatility conditions, increase Measurement Noise to reduce false signals. Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, EMA) for confirmation and filtering. Adjust "Entry Threshold" and noise settings depending on your timeframe and trading style. ❗ Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice or a recommendation to buy/sell any asset.

Optimized Trend [DaviddTech]Optimized Trend is a comprehensive trend-following indicator that combines multiple analytical techniques for improved decision-making. Key Features: Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) to reduce lag and track price movements more effectively. Adaptive Lag Control: The lag of the ZLEMA can be automatically adjusted based on market volatility (ATR), or manually set for user preference. Composite Score: A weighted measure combining ZLEMA momentum, short-term price changes, ATR-based volatility, and money flow (using Chaikin Money Flow and Money Flow Index). This creates a 0–100 score reflecting overall market strength. Dynamic Bands: ATR-based upper and lower bands shift depending on price relative to the ZLEMA, acting as dynamic support/resistance. Trend Cross Alerts: Plots buy and sell dots when the price crosses the ZLEMA for quick trade signals. Summary Table: Displays key data including composite score, volatility, trend direction, current lag setting, and a market narrative. Uniqueness & Research Basis: This indicator incorporates an adaptive lag mechanism tied to ATR volatility, making the trendline more responsive during high volatility and smoother during calmer markets. It also blends multiple volume/flow metrics into a single money flow component, delivering a synthesized view of market strength not found in traditional ZLEMA tools. How to Use: Identify Trend Direction: Use the ZLEMA color (teal for bullish, maroon for bearish) and composite score to confirm market bias. Monitor Bands: Price reaching the upper band (red fill) may indicate overbought conditions, while the lower band (green fill) may signal oversold conditions. Entry/Exit Signals: Watch for the plotted (buy) and (sell) dots as potential trade signals. Fine-Tune Sensitivity: Adjust ZLEMA length and lag settings in the inputs to better match your trading timeframe and style. Adaptive Lag: Enable or disable to see how dynamic volatility affects responsiveness. This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should be used with additional confirmation and risk management in your trading plan.
