VolatilityFlex LevelsThe VolatilityFlex Levels indicator computes the degree of change (or sigma) by leveraging the selected Volatility Index (such as VIX or any user-specified volatility index). It utilizes this information to graphically represent distinct levels for a designated financial instrument. These levels include -sigma, -3/4sigma, -1/2sigma, -1/4sigma, 1/4sigma, 1/2sigma, 3/4sigma, and sigma.
Volatility
Volatility ZigZagIt calculates and plots zigzag lines based on volatility and price movements. It has various inputs for customization, allowing you to adjust parameters like source data, length, deviation, line styling, and labeling options.
The indicator identifies pivot points in the price movement, drawing lines between these pivots based on the deviation from certain price levels or volatility measures.
The script labels various data points at the ZigZag pivot points on the chart. These labels provide information about different aspects of the price movement and volume around these pivot points. Here's a breakdown of what gets labeled:
Price Change: Indicates the absolute and average percentage change between the two pivot points. It displays the absolute or relative change in price as a percentage. Additionally, the average absolute price increase or the average rate of increase can also be labeled.

Machine Learning: STDEV Oscillator [YinYangAlgorithms]This Indicator aims to fill a gap within traditional Standard Deviation Analysis. Rather than its usual applications, this Indicator focuses on applying Standard Deviation within an Oscillator and likewise applying a Machine Learning approach to it. By doing so, we may hope to achieve an Adaptive Oscillator which can help display when the price is deviating from its standard movement. This Indicator may help display both when the price is Overbought or Underbought, and likewise, where the price may face Support and Resistance. The reason for this is that rather than simply plotting a Machine Learning Standard Deviation (STDEV), we instead create a High and a Low variant of STDEV, and then use its Highest and Lowest values calculated within another Deviation to create Deviation Zones. These zones may help to display these Support and Resistance locations; and likewise may help to show if the price is Overbought or Oversold based on its placement within these zones. This Oscillator may also help display Momentum when the High and/or Low STDEV crosses the midline (0). Lastly, this Oscillator may also be useful for seeing the spacing between the High and Low of the STDEV; large spacing may represent volatility within the STDEV which may be helpful for seeing when there is Momentum in the form of volatility.
Tutorial:
Above is an example of how this Indicator looks on BTC/USDT 1 Day. As you may see, when the price has parabolic movement, so does the STDEV. This is due to this price movement deviating from the mean of the data. Therefore when these parabolic movements occur, we create the Deviation Zones accordingly, in hopes that it may help to project future Support and Resistance locations as well as helping to display when the price is Overbought and Oversold.
If we zoom in a little bit, you may notice that the Support Zone (Blue) is smaller than the Resistance Zone (Orange). This is simply because during the last Bull Market there was more parabolic price deviation than there was during the Bear Market. You may see this if you refer to their values; the Resistance Zone goes to ~18k whereas the Support Zone is ~10.5k. This is completely normal and the way it is supposed to work. Due to the nature of how STDEV works, this Oscillator doesn’t use a 1:1 ratio and instead can develop and expand as exponential price action occurs.
The Neutral (0) line may also act as a Support and Resistance location. In the example above we can see how when the STDEV is below it, it acts as Resistance; and when it’s above it, it acts as Support.
This Neutral line may also provide us with insight as towards the momentum within the market and when it has shifted. When the STDEV is below the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bearish. When the STDEV is above the Neutral line, the market may be considered Bullish.
The Red Line represents the STDEV’s High and the Green Line represents the STDEV’s Low. When the STDEV’s High and Low get tight and close together, this may represent there is currently Low Volatility in the market. Low Volatility may cause consolidation to occur, however it also leaves room for expansion.
However, when the STDEV’s High and Low are quite spaced apart, this may represent High levels of Volatility in the market. This may mean the market is more prone to parabolic movements and expansion.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully this has given you some insight into how applying Machine Learning to a High and Low STDEV then creating Deviation Zones based on it may help project when the Momentum of the Market is Bullish or Bearish; likewise when the price is Overbought or Oversold; and lastly where the price may face Support and Resistance in the form of STDEV.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.
HAPPY TRADING!
ATR StopThe "ATR Stop" indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into potential stop levels based on Average True Range (ATR) calculations specifically tailored for profitable (green candles) and unprofitable (red candles) price movements. This tool aims to assist traders in identifying potential stop levels that adjust dynamically based on the volatility of distinct market conditions.
The indicator functions by calculating two types of ATR: one for profitable movements and the other for unprofitable movements. The Average True Range is calculated separately for green and red candles, allowing users to assess potential stop levels more accurately based on the nature of price movements.
Key features of the "ATR Stop" indicator include:
Custom ATR Calculation: It calculates the ATR for profitable (green) and unprofitable (red) movements separately, considering only specific candle types based on their closing price relative to their opening price.
Dynamic Multiplier: Users can adjust the multiplier to fine-tune the sensitivity of the ATR-based stop levels, accommodating different risk preferences and market conditions.
Clear Visualization: The indicator plots the ATR levels for profitable (green) and unprofitable (red) movements one candle ahead on the chart, providing a visual representation of potential stop levels.
To use the indicator effectively, traders can adjust the ATR length and multiplier parameters based on their trading strategies and risk management preferences. By considering distinct price movements, this tool can assist in setting more informed stop levels in varying market conditions.
Please note that while the "ATR Stop" indicator can be a valuable addition to a trader's toolbox, it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies to make well-informed trading decisions.
Nasan Rate of Change (ROC)**NOTE: FOR COMPARISON TRADITIONAL ROC IS PLOTTED WITH THE SAME ROC LENGTH OF 9. IT IS NOT PART OF THE INDICATOR"
The Nasan ROC indicator is smoothed version of the of the traditional ROC indicator. The Nasna ROC uses a triple pass moving average differencing strategy. A cumulative sum of the deviations obtained from the moving average differencing provides a smooth "noise free" trend and this cumulative sum of deviations is used for calculating ROC.
Let's break down the components and understand the indicator we discussed earlier:
Sequential Triple Pass Filter:
Three filters with lengths specified by length1, length2, and length3 are applied to the closing prices (close).
The filters involve calculating the cumulative sum of the differences between the closing prices and their respective moving averages.
The idea is to detrend the data and accumulate the deviations from the average over time, emphasizing longer-term trends.
Calculation of Rate of Change (ROC) of Cumulative Sum:
The Rate of Change (ROC) of the cumulative sum (rocCumulativeSum) is calculated using the ta.roc function with a specified length (rocLength).
ROC measures the percentage change in the cumulative sum over a specified period.
The ROC histogram provides insights into the momentum of the detrended series. Positive values suggest increasing momentum, while negative values suggest decreasing momentum.
Pay attention to the color of the histogram bars.
The histogram bars are colored green if the current ROC value is greater than or equal to the previous ROC value, and red otherwise.
This coloring is based on the concept that a positive ROC suggests upward momentum, while a negative ROC suggests downward momentum.
Volatility - Volume Impact:
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated with a period of 14.
Volume strength is calculated as a factor (VCF) that considers the ratio of the simple moving average (SMA) of the current volume to the SMA of the volume over a longer period (144).
This volume factor (VCF) is then multiplied by ATR, creating a synergy with volatility and volume.
Visualization with Background Color Gradient:
A background color gradient is applied to the chart based on the calculated volume strength (f1).
The gradient color ranges from black (indicating low ATR and volume strength) to purple (indicating high ATR and volume strength). A low value indicates a ranging market with no significant price movements and it is safter to avoid signals generated from ROC histogram in these region.
Synergy of ROC and Volume Strength:
Observe how the ROC signals align with the background color gradient. For example, confirm whether positive ROC aligns with periods of high ATR and volume strength.
This synergy can provide confirmation or divergence signals, adding another layer of analysis.
Gradient Value Overlay
This script helps with identifying certain conditions without cluttering too much of the candles.
Some use cases:
It helps identify rsi low and high values.
Directional price movement becoming difficult.
low and high volume.
it uses a percent rank to distinguish low and high values.
It then uses a gradient to match the percentile rank to heatmap type colors.
i.e. dark blue for lowest volume, white for highest volume.
Current options are:
max bars to use.
approximate color - This value will attempt to give an approximation of what the color might be for the candle close.
e.g. If you're on the 1-hour chart, and only 30 minutes have past, it will multiple the current volume by 1.5. As time passes, if no volume comes in eventually, it will multiply current volume by 1.
This approximate value is only set to work with volume-based options.
option - select the type of value you'd like to see the gradient for.
timeframe - get values from a different chart timeframe.
on/off - turns the gradient on or off.
Gradient type - color wheel or heatmap. Currently these are the only two gardient options.
color wheel's colors for low to high values:
color wheel's current colors:
dark blue
purple
pink
red
orange
yellow
green
teal
white
heatmap's current colors from low values to high values:
dark blue
purple
pink
red
orange
yellow
white
reverse gradient - will reverse the colors so dark blue will be the high value and white will be the low value. Some charts based on previous data; you might need to switch the gradient colors.
moving average length while inside timeframe - an exponential moving average is applied to the values. At 1, there is no moving average applied.
Use case for this is to smooth out the gradient.
An example use case - if your currently on the 1-hour chart, you can set the timeframe to 1 minute and then the moving average length inside timeframe to 60. You will then be seeing the color sixty 1-minute bars.
current timeframe moving average length - an exponential moving average applied to current gradient (helps with smoothing gradient).
Smooth, further smooths values.
There is no set rule for what moving average lengths to use. Adjust timeframe, and moving average lengths to get an insight.
Temporary imbalances 2.0 This indicator attempts to calculate potential points of imbalance and equilibrium based on VWAPs and modified moving averages.

Average True Range Level█ Overview
The indicator uses color-coded columns to represent different levels of normalized ATR, helping traders identify periods of high or low volatility.
█ Calculations
The normalization process involves dividing the current True Range by the Average True Range. The formula for normalized ATR in the code is:
nAtr = nz(barRange/atr)
█ How To Use
Level < 1
During periods when the normalized ATR is less than 1, suggesting a lower level of volatility, traders may explore inside bar strategies. These strategies focus on trading within the range of the previous bar, aiming to capitalize on potential breakout opportunities.
Level between 1 and 3
In instances where the normalized ATR falls between 1 and 3, indicating moderate volatility, a pullback strategy may be considered. Traders look for temporary corrections against the prevailing trend, entering positions in anticipation of the trend's resumption
Level between 2 and 3
Within the range of normalized ATR between 2 and 3, signifying a balanced level of volatility, traders might explore breakout strategies. These strategies involve identifying potential breakout levels using support and resistance or other indicators and entering trades in the direction of the breakout.
Level > 3
When the normalized ATR exceeds 3, signaling high volatility, traders should approach with caution. While not ideal for typical mean reversion strategies, this condition may indicate that the price has become overextended. Traders might wait for subsequent candles, observing a normalized ATR between 2 and 3, to consider mean reversion opportunities after potential overpricing during the high volatility period.
* Note: These strategies are suggestions and may not be suitable for all trading scenarios. Traders should exercise discretion, conduct their own analysis, and adapt strategies based on individual preferences and risk tolerance.
MADALGO's Fear and Greed OscillatorThe Fear and Greed Oscillator is a dynamic tool designed to gauge market sentiment by analyzing various components such as volatility, momentum, and volume. This indicator synthesizes multiple metrics to provide a singular view of market emotion, oscillating between fear and greed.

ATR (Average True Range): Represents market volatility.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Captures market momentum.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Provides insights into overbought or oversold conditions.
Volume: Reflects market participation levels.
Each component is first normalized to ensure a balanced impact and then averaged to create the final oscillator value.
🔷 Color Coding -
The oscillator's plot changes color based on its value, representing market sentiment:
Green: Indicates a leaning towards greed.
Red: Suggests a leaning towards fear.
The intensity of the color represents the strength of the sentiment.
🔷 Usage -
This indicator is valuable for traders looking to understand market sentiment. It works best when combined with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental or other technical indicators, to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
🔷 Signal Lines -
Two horizontal lines represent extreme conditions:
A line for Extreme Fear.
Another for Extreme Greed.
These lines help identify when the market sentiment is at potentially unsustainable levels.
🔷 Customization -
The Fear and Greed Oscillator is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to adjust several parameters to match their specific analysis requirements. Understanding and utilizing these customization options can significantly enhance the indicator's relevance and effectiveness in various market conditions.
1. Length Parameters:
ATR and RSI Length: This input determines the period over which the Average True Range (ATR) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are calculated. Adjusting this length can affect the sensitivity of the oscillator to recent market movements. A shorter length makes the oscillator more responsive to recent changes, while a longer length smoothens it, reducing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations.
MACD Parameters: These include the Fast Length, Slow Length, and Signal Smoothing. By adjusting these, users can control how the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) component reacts to price movements. This customization is crucial for aligning the oscillator with different trading strategies, whether short-term or long-term focused.
Volume Length: This parameter sets the period for the moving average and standard deviation calculations of the volume component. Altering this length allows the oscillator to either emphasize recent volume changes or consider a broader historical context.
2. Weight Adjustments:
Component Weights: Each component (ATR, MACD, RSI, Volume) has an associated weight factor. These weights determine the relative influence of each component on the final oscillator value. Users can increase the weight of a component to give it more influence or decrease it to lessen its impact. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who have a preference or insight into which market aspects are more indicative of fear or greed at given times.
Balancing the Components: The key to effective customization lies in balancing these weights to reflect the user's market perspective and trading style. For instance, a trader focusing on volatility might increase the weight of the ATR, while one interested in momentum might prioritize the MACD and RSI weights.

Rolling Volatility Indicator
Description :
The Rolling Volatility indicator calculates the volatility of an asset's price movements over a specified period. It measures the degree of variation in the price series over time, providing insights into the market's potential for price fluctuations.
This indicator utilizes a rolling window approach, computing the volatility by analyzing the logarithmic returns of the asset's price. The user-defined length parameter determines the timeframe for the volatility calculation.
How to Use :
Adjust the "Length" parameter to set the rolling window period for volatility calculation.
Ajust "trading_days" for the sampling period, this is the total number of trading days (usually 252 days for stocks and 365 for crypto)
Higher values for the length parameter will result in a smoother, longer-term view of volatility, while lower values will provide a more reactive, shorter-term perspective.
Volatility levels can assist in identifying periods of increased market activity or potential price changes. Higher volatility may suggest increased risk and potential opportunities, while lower volatility might indicate periods of reduced market activity.
Key Features :
Customizable length parameter for adjusting the calculation period and trading days such that it can also be applied to stock market or any markets.
Visual representation of volatility with a plotted line on the chart.
The Rolling Volatility indicator can be a valuable tool for traders and analysts seeking insights into market volatility trends, aiding in decision-making processes and risk management strategies.
Logarithmic CVD [IkkeOmar]The LCVD is another Mean-Reversion Indicator. it doesn't detect trends and does not give a signal per se. However the logarithmic transformation is made to visualize the direction of the trend for the volume. This allows you to see if money is flowing in or out of an asset.
What it does is tell you if we have a flashcrash based on the difference in volume.
Think of this indicator like a form of a volatility index.
Smoothing input:
The only input is an input for the smoothing length of the logDelta.
Volume Calculation:
// @IkkeOmar
//@version=5
indicator('Logarithmic CVD', shorttitle='CVD', overlay=false)
smooth = input.int(defval = 25, title = "Smoothing Distance")
// Calculate buying and selling volume
askVolume = volume * (close > open ? 1 : 0) // Assuming higher close than open indicates buying
bidVolume = volume * (close < open ? 1 : 0) // Assuming lower close than open indicates selling
// Delta is the difference between buying and selling volume
delta = askVolume - bidVolume
// Apply logarithmic transformation to delta
// Adding a check to ensure delta is not zero as log(0) is undefined
logDelta = delta > 0 ? math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta) : - math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta)
// use the the ta lib for calculating the sma of the logDelta
smoothLogDelta = ta.sma(logDelta, smooth)
// Create candlestick plot
plot(logDelta, color= color.green, title='Logarithmic CVD')
plot(smoothLogDelta, color= color.rgb(145, 37, 1), title='Smooth CVD')
These lines calculate the buying and selling volumes. askVolume is calculated as the total volume when the closing price is higher than the opening price, assuming this indicates buying pressure. bidVolume is calculated as the total volume when the closing price is lower than the opening price, assuming selling pressure.
The Delta is simply the difference between buying and selling volumes.
Logarithmic Transformation:
logDelta = delta > 0 ? math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta) : - math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta)
Applies a logarithmic transformation to delta. The math.log function is used to calculate the natural logarithm of the absolute value of delta. The sign of delta is preserved to differentiate between positive and negative values. This transformation helps in scaling the delta values, especially useful when dealing with large numbers.
This script essentially provides a visual representation of the buying and selling pressures in a market, transformed logarithmically for better scaling and smoothed for trend analysis.
Hope it makes sense!
Stay safe everyone!
Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any!

Logarithmic Volatility Direction Index [IkkeOmar]The LVDI is a Mean-Reversion Indicator. it doesn't detect trends and does not give a signal per se.
What it does is tell you if we have a flashcrash based on the price action and volume that is available. It is not always easy to see with the naked eye, so this indicator can help you DCA into an asset in a smarter way, if you couple it with other trend systems.
Think of this indicator like a form of a volatility index.
Inputs:
len and lenWMA are integers representing different lengths for calculations, and src is the data source
Keep in mind that "Length" is the lookback for the WMA, and the Length smooting is the lookback for the SMA of the "volume_weighted".
WMA Calculation
wma_basic = math.log10(ta.wma(src, len))
This calculates the logarithm (base 10) of the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of the source data over len periods. WMA is a type of moving average giving more importance to recent data. The reason I use log10, is to make it transformative over a longer timeframe. This makes it easier to see the growth direction. I like to use this for crypto, since there is asymetric upside.
Volume Filter:
average_volume = ta.sma(volume, lenWMA)
volume_weighted = math.log10(wma_basic * (volume / math.log10(average_volume)))
Here, the script first calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the trading volume over lenWMA periods. Then, it computes a volume-weighted value of the WMA, adjusted by the logarithmic ratio of current volume to average volume.
Distance and Score Calculation:
distance = math.log10(src) - math.log10(volume_weighted)
score = math.sign(distance) * math.pow(math.abs(distance), 2)
The script calculates the logarithmic difference between the source data and the volume-weighted WMA. The score is determined by the sign of this distance multiplied by its square. This potentially amplifies the impact of larger distances.
Plotting:
plot(volume_weighted, title="Volume Weighted WMA", color=color.blue, linewidth = 2)
plot(ta.sma(volume_weighted, lenWMA), title="Volume Weighted WMA", color=color.rgb(189, 160, 0))
Mathematical concepts
Weighted Moving Average (WMA):
WMA is a moving average that assigns more weight to recent data points. The idea is that recent prices are more relevant to the current trend than older prices.
Logarithms:
The use of log10 (logarithm base 10) is interesting. Logarithms help in normalizing data and can make certain patterns more visible, especially when dealing with exponential growth or decay.
Volume Weighting:
Multiplying the WMA by the ratio of current volume to average volume (both logarithmic) integrates volume into the analysis. High trading volume can signify stronger market interest and can thus validate price movements.
Distance and Score:
The distance measures how far the current price is from the volume-weighted WMA on a logarithmic scale. The score squares this distance, potentially highlighting large divergences.
Case example
In the case above (which is a low timeframe that shouldn't be your main system) we see the blue line going up before going below the moving average line (orange). This indicates a local bottom zone. Does that mean that we wont go lower? No! What you can do is calculate a zone range.
We have an average line, you can get that from the POC with the VRVP.
Then you take the low and high of that zone and take the average:
(3.17% + 2.33%) / 2 = 2.75%
This means that we expect that the price can fall an additional 2.75%! Low and behold. When you check the same chart as above:
Hope it makes sense!
Stay safe everyone!
Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any!
Channel CorridorOVERVIEW
The Channel Corridor indicator is designed to operate on a log chart of asset prices (e.g., BTCUSD), specifically on a weekly timeframe.
The intent of the indicator is to provide a visual representation of market dynamics, focusing on a dynamically adjusted corridor around a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of an asset's price. The corridor adapts to changing market conditions. The indicator includes channels within the corridor for additional reference points.
PURPOSE
Trend Identification: The channel corridor can aid in visualising the overall trend, as it dynamically adjusts the corridor based on an SMA and user-defined parameters.
Volatility Assessment: The width of the channel corridor can may act as a gauge of market volatility.
Reversal Points: The channel corridor may signal potential trend reversals or corrections when an asset price approaches the upper or lower bounds of the corridor.
Long-Term Trend Analysis: The channel corridor may aid in longer-term trend analysis.
CONSIDERATIONS
Validation: It's recommended that careful back-testing over historical data be done before acting on any identified opportunities.
User Discretion: Trading decisions should not rely solely on this script. Users should exercise judgment and consider market conditions.
CREDIT
Ideation: Thanks @Sw1ngTr4der for the idea and corridor seed code
Historical Volatility StudyThe goal of this script it to provide you an idea to forecast the future momentum by looking at historical volatility.
This chart has basically three parts.
1. Three lines are there. The multi color line represents the historical annualized volatility in terms of minimum look back period . The white line represents the historical annualized volatility in terms of medium term look back period . The green line represents the historical annualized volatility in terms of longer term look back period .
2. The back ground color has three components. Green zone is the zone where overall volatility is on the lower side. Red zone is the zone where overall volatility is on the higher side. Purple zone means fluctuating volatility.
3. The multi color line has three colors. Red color means volatility moving towards extreme low. Yellow means it is moving towards extreme high. Purple means it is in normal course of action.
This tool can be used as a confirmation tool with other studies to aid you to make better decisions. For example- look at the diagram below.

Fibonacci Bollinger Volume Weighted DeviationDiscover market dynamics with the 'Fibonacci Bollinger Volume Weighted Deviation' indicator – a unique tool blending Fibonacci ratios, Bollinger Bands, and volume-weighted analysis. Ideal for spotting overbought/oversold conditions and potential market turnarounds, this indicator is a must-have for traders seeking nuanced insights into price behavior and volatility.
Description:
"The 'Fibonacci Bollinger Volume Weighted Deviation' indicator presents a novel approach to market trend analysis by integrating Fibonacci ratios with the classic concept of Bollinger Bands. Designed for traders who incorporate Fibonacci levels in their market analysis, this indicator adapts Bollinger Bands to a user-defined Fibonacci ratio. It creates dynamic upper and lower bands around a Simple Moving Average (SMA), offering insights into price deviations and potential overbought or oversold market states.
Incorporating volume data, this indicator provides a volume-weighted perspective of price deviations. This feature is crucial in gauging the market sentiment, as significant volumes linked with price deviations can signal strong market moves. By plotting these deviations and emphasizing those that significantly diverge from the volume-weighted average, it aids in pinpointing potential turning points or key support and resistance zones.
Versatile in nature, the 'Fibonacci Bollinger Volume Weighted Deviation' indicator is adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions. It proves especially valuable in markets where Fibonacci levels are a key factor. Traders can explore long positions when prices fall below the lower band and consider short positions when prices breach the upper band. The addition of volume-weighted deviation analysis refines these trading signals, offering a more sophisticated and nuanced decision-making process for entries and exits.
As a standalone tool or in conjunction with other technical instruments, this indicator is an invaluable addition to any technical analyst's toolkit. It not only enhances traditional Fibonacci and Bollinger Band methodologies but also integrates volume analysis to provide a comprehensive view of market trends and movements."
DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1 PINESCRIPTLABSWe can observe that this indicator displays the range within which the asset fluctuates around the average price, and its behavior depends on the parameters of amplitude and angular frequency. "price_mas" is a measure calculated as part of the indicator. It is derived by adding an adjusted amplitude (A_mas) multiplied by the cosine of the combination of angular frequency (w), time, and a phase shift (phi) to the average price (P0). This calculated value oscillates around the actual asset price and is used to identify potential turning points and the range where the price has established itself within the specified lookback period.
2.- At its core, the indicator utilizes the innovative concept of 'price_mas,' a calculated metric visualized in three essential colors: green to indicate low levels, blue for medium levels, and red for high levels. These colors reflect the position of the price in relation to a range determined by historical highs and lows.
In the context of the "DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1 " indicator, low, medium, and high levels specifically refer to the calculated value of 'price_mas,' which is a derived measure within the indicator. They do not directly refer to the actual asset price but rather to a calculated value that the indicator uses to analyze and predict the behavior of the asset's price.
This algorithm stands out for its ability to capture the 'strength' of the price through the 'price_mas' zones. Once the price exits the zones marked by the 'price_mas' (red, blue, and green plots), it tends to return with significant force.
Buy & Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: If the price and the Donchian lines cross above the high threshold, visually represented by red diamonds, it indicates a strong bullish momentum. This not only shows that the price is rising but also that the trend is strong enough to push the Donchian lines, which represent price extremes over a certain period, above the threshold. This convergence of movements, marked by the crossing over the red diamonds, suggests a higher probability of the bullish trend continuing.
Sell Signal: Similarly, if the price and the Donchian lines fall below the low threshold, visualized as green diamonds, this signals a significant bearish momentum. The simultaneous decline of the price and the Donchian lines below this threshold, marked by the green diamonds, indicates that not only is the price decreasing, but the bearish trend is strong enough to influence the price extremes calculated by the Donchian lines.
Configuration:
-The "Initial Dynamic Length of MAS Price" parameter controls the smoothness and sensitivity of the indicator. A high value smooths the Simple Moving Average (SMA), making the indicator less responsive to short-term price fluctuations. On the other hand, a low value makes the indicator more sensitive to short-term price fluctuations, generating faster and more volatile signals
-This parameter, "MAS Amplitude Percentage," determines the amplitude as a percentage. Increasing the Initial Dynamic Price will result in a larger amplitude relative to the price, leading to wider ranges for the indicator. Decreasing this value will have the opposite effect, reducing the amplitude relative to the price. Increasing "A_mas_pct" can make signals more extreme and less frequent, while decreasing it will make signals smoother and more frequent.
-This parameter, "Angular Frequency of MAS," affects the frequency of oscillations in the calculation of the "Initial Dynamic Price." A higher value of "w" will make the oscillations faster and more frequent, which means that the indicator will be more responsive to abrupt price changes. Conversely, a lower value will make the oscillations slower and smoother, making the indicator less sensitive to rapid price changes. Modifying ""Angular Frequency of MAS,"" directly impacts the frequency of oscillations in the indicator.
Español:
Podemos observar que este indicador muestra el rango en el cual el activo fluctúa alrededor del precio promedio y su comportamiento depende de los parámetros de amplitud y frecuencia angular. "price_mas" es una medida calculada como parte del indicador. Se deriva al sumar una amplitud ajustada (A_mas) multiplicada por el coseno de la combinación de frecuencia angular (w), tiempo y un desplazamiento de fase (phi) al precio promedio (P0). Este valor calculado oscila alrededor del precio real del activo y se utiliza para identificar posibles puntos de giro y el rango donde el precio se ha establecido dentro del período de búsqueda especificado.
En su núcleo, el indicador utiliza el innovador concepto de 'price_mas', una métrica calculada visualizada en tres colores esenciales: verde para indicar niveles bajos, azul para niveles medios y rojo para niveles altos. Estos colores reflejan la posición del precio en relación con un rango determinado por los máximos y mínimos históricos.
En el contexto del indicador "DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1", los niveles bajos, medios y altos se refieren específicamente al valor calculado de 'price_mas', que es una medida derivada dentro del indicador. No se refieren directamente al precio real del activo, sino a un valor calculado que el indicador utiliza para analizar y predecir el comportamiento del precio del activo.
Este algoritmo se destaca por su capacidad para capturar la 'fortaleza' del precio a través de las zonas de 'price_mas'. Una vez que el precio sale de las zonas marcadas por 'price_mas' (trazas rojas, azules y verdes), tiende a regresar con una fuerza significativa. Este comportamiento es crucial para los operadores, ya que proporciona oportunidades tanto para capitalizar las retracciones de precios como para anticipar posibles cambios de tendencia.
Señales de Compra y Venta:
Señal de Compra: Si el precio y las líneas Donchian cruzan por encima del umbral alto, visualmente representado por diamantes rojos, indica un fuerte impulso alcista. Esto no solo muestra que el precio está aumentando, sino que la tendencia es lo suficientemente fuerte como para empujar las líneas Donchian, que representan los extremos de precio durante un período determinado, por encima del umbral. Esta convergencia de movimientos, marcada por el cruce sobre los diamantes rojos, sugiere una mayor probabilidad de que la tendencia alcista continúe.
Señal de Venta: De manera similar, si el precio y las líneas Donchian caen por debajo del umbral bajo, visualizado como diamantes verdes, esto señala un fuerte impulso bajista. La caída simultánea del precio y las líneas Donchian por debajo de este umbral, marcada por los diamantes verdes, indica que no solo el precio está disminuyendo, sino que la tendencia bajista es lo suficientemente fuerte como para influir en los extremos de precio calculados por las líneas Donchian.
Configuración:
El parámetro "Longitud Dinámica Inicial de MAS Price" controla la suavidad y la sensibilidad del indicador. Un valor alto suaviza el Promedio Móvil Simple (SMA), lo que hace que el indicador sea menos sensible a las fluctuaciones de precio a corto plazo. Por otro lado, un valor bajo hace que el indicador sea más sensible a las fluctuaciones de precio a corto plazo, generando señales más rápidas y volátiles.
Este parámetro, "Porcentaje de Amplitud de MAS," determina la amplitud como un porcentaje. Aumentar el valor de "Longitud Dinámica Inicial de MAS Price" dará como resultado una amplitud más grande en relación con el precio, lo que conducirá a rangos más amplios para el indicador. Disminuir este valor tendrá el efecto contrario, reduciendo la amplitud en relación con el precio. Aumentar "Porcentaje de A_mas" puede hacer que las señales sean más extremas y menos frecuentes, mientras que disminuirlo hará que las señales sean más suaves y más frecuentes.
Este parámetro, "Frecuencia Angular de MAS," afecta la frecuencia de las oscilaciones en el cálculo del "Precio Móvil Simple Inicial." Un valor más alto de "w" hará que las oscilaciones sean más rápidas y frecuentes, lo que significa que el indicador será más receptivo a cambios abruptos en el precio. Por otro lado, un valor más bajo hará que las oscilaciones sean más lentas y suaves, haciendo que el indicador sea menos sensible a cambios rápidos en el precio. Modificar "Frecuencia Angular de MAS" afecta directamente la frecuencia de las oscilaciones en el indicador.
Anchored Chandelier ExitThe Chandelier Exit is a popular tool among traders used to help determine appropriate stop loss levels. Originally developed by Chuck LeBeau, the Chandelier Exit takes into account market volatility and adjusts the stop loss level dynamically. This indicator builds upon the original Chandelier Exit by allowing the trader to select an anchor date or starting point for the indicator to begin calculating from.
The Original Chandelier Exit
Before we get into the details of the Anchored Chandelier Exit, let's review the original. Essentially a dynamic ATR stop loss, the Chandelier Exit provides a trailing stop that moves higher or lower based on volatility.
The Chandelier Exit is calculated based on the following criteria:
🔶ATR - The ATR is used to measure the volatility of a security over a lookback period. The ATR length determines the number of bars to consider when calculating the average true range. The shorter the length, the more responsive the level will be.
🔶ATR Multiplier - The default multiplier is set to 3. This is used to determine the sensitivity of the Chandelier Exit. The higher the ATR multiplier the wider the stop levels will be. A lower multiplier will tighten stop levels.
🔶Highest / Lowest Points - Determine the highest high (bullish trade) or lowest low (bearish trade) during the lookback period. The default length is 22 bars.
Calculating the Chandelier Exit
Bullish trades - Highest High - ATR * Multiplier
Bearish trades - Lowest Low + ATR * Multiplier
The Anchored Chandelier Exit
The Anchored Chandelier Exit is a new twist on the original, allowing traders to adapt their stop loss levels based on specific market events, levels or bars.
Similar to the original, traders can select the ATR length and multiplier, however, the high or low from which the ATR is subtracted or added is first determined at the anchor bar.
As new bars form, the indicator checks for the previous high/low to be breached. If the high or low is exceeded, the highest/lowest point is updated and the Chandelier Exit is recalculated.
When the indicator is first loaded to your chart, it will ask you to select an anchor bar and choose the bias for the trade.
A bullish (long) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit below price action, while a bearish (short) bias trade will plot the Chandelier Exit above price action.
Indicator Features
🔶Custom Start Date
🔶Bullish or Bearish Bias
🔶Selectable ATR Length & Multiplier
🔶Custom Colors
🔶Exit With Close or Wicks
🔶Exit Alerts
With careful parameter optimization, the Anchored Chandelier Exit can be a useful tool for helping traders manage risk based on market volatility.

Dynamic Volume-Volatility Adjusted MomentumThis Indicator in a refinement of my earlier script PC*VC Moving average Old with easier to follow color codes, overbought and oversold zones. This script has converted the previous script into a standardized measure by converting it into Z-scores and also incorporated a volatility based dynamic length option. Below is a detailed Explanation.
The "Dynamic Volume-Volatility Adjusted Momentum" or "Nasan Momentum Oscillator" is designed to capture market momentum while accounting for volume and volatility fluctuations. It leverages the Typical Price (TP), calculated as the average of high, low, and close prices, and introduces the Price Coefficient (PC) based on deviations from the simple moving average (SMA) across various time frames. Additionally, the Volume Coefficient (VC) compares current volume to SMA, and calculates Intraday Volatility (IDV) which gauges the daily price range relative to the close. Then intraday volatility ratio is calculated ( IDV Ratio) as the ratio of current Intraday Volatility (IDV) to the average of IDV for three different length periods, which provides a relative measure of current intraday volatility compared to its recent historical average. An inter-day ATR based Relative Volatility (RV) is calculated to adjusts for changing market volatility based on which the dynamic length adjustment adapts the moving average (standard length is 14). The PC *VC/IDV Ratio integrates price, volume, and volatility information which provides a volume and volatility adjusted momentum. This volume and volatility adjusted momentum is converted into a standardized Z-Score. The Z-Score measures deviations from the mean. Color-coded plots visually represent momentum, and thresholds aid in identifying overbought or oversold conditions.
The indicator incorporates a nuanced approach to emphasize the joint impact of price and volume while considering the stabilizing effect of lower intraday volatility. Placing the volume ratio (VC) in the numerator means that higher volume positively contributes to the overall ratio, aligning with the observation that increased volumes often accompany robust price movements. Simultaneously, the decision to include the inverse of intraday volatility (1/IDV) in the denominator acts as a dampener, reducing the impact of extreme intraday volatility on the momentum indicator. This design choice aims to filter out noise, giving more weight to significant price changes supported by substantial trading activity. In essence, the indicator's design seeks to provide a more robust momentum measure that balances the influence of price, volume, and volatility in the analysis of market dynamics.
Unbound RSIUnbound RSI
Description
The Unbound RSI or de-oscillated RSI indicator is a novel technical analysis indicator that combines the concepts of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages, applied directly over the price chart. This indicator is unique in its approach by transforming the oscillatory nature of the RSI into a format that aligns with the price action, thereby offering a distinctive view of market momentum and trends.
Key Features
Multi-Length RSI Analysis: Incorporates three different lengths of RSI (short, medium, and long), providing insights into the momentum and trend strength at various timeframes.
Deoscillation of RSI: The RSI for each length is 'deoscillated' by adjusting its scale to align with the actual price movements. This is achieved by shifting and scaling the RSI values, effectively merging them with the price line.
Average True Range (ATR) Scaling: The deoscillation process includes scaling by the Average True Range (ATR), making the indicator responsive to the asset’s volatility.
Optional Smoothing: Provides an option to apply a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing to each deoscillated RSI line, reducing noise and highlighting more significant trends.
Dynamic Moving Average (MA) Baseline: Features a moving average calculated from the medium length (default value) de-oscillated RSI, serving as a dynamic baseline to identify overarching trends.
How It’s Different
Unlike standard RSI indicators that oscillate in a fixed range, this indicator transforms the RSI to move in tandem with the price, offering a unique perspective on momentum and trend changes. The use of multiple timeframes for RSI and the inclusion of a dynamic MA baseline provide a multifaceted view of market conditions.
Potential Usage
Trend Identification: The position of the price in relation to the different deoscillated RSI lines and the MA baseline can indicate the prevailing market trend.
Momentum Shifts: Crossovers of the price with the deoscillated RSI lines or the MA baseline can signal potential shifts in momentum, offering entry or exit points.
Volatility Awareness: The ATR-based scaling of the deoscillated RSI lines means the indicator adjusts to changes in volatility, potentially offering more reliable signals in different market conditions.
Comparative Analysis: By comparing the short, medium, and long deoscillated RSI lines, traders can gauge the strength of trends and the convergence or divergence of momentum across timeframes.
Best Practices
Backtesting: Given its novel nature, it’s crucial to backtest the indicator across different assets and market conditions.
Complementary Tools: Combine with other technical analysis tools (like support/resistance levels, other oscillators, volume analysis) for more robust trading signals.
Risk Management: Always use sound risk management strategies, as no single indicator provides foolproof signals.
