Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)
This indicator was designed to solve a common trader's problem: chart clutter from dozens of indicators that often contradict each other. The Volatility & Momentum Nexus ( VMN ) is not just another indicator; it's a complete analysis system that synthesizes four essential market pillars into a single, clean, and intuitive visual signal.
The goal of VMN is to identify high-probability moments where a period of accumulation (low volatility) is about to erupt into an explosive move, confirmed by trend, momentum, and volume.
VMN analyzes the real-time confluence of four critical elements:
The Trend (The Main Filter): A 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sets the overall context. The indicator will only look for buy signals above this line (in an uptrend) and sell signals below it (in a downtrend). The line's color changes for quick visualization.
Volatility (Energy Accumulation): Using Bollinger Bands Width (BBW), the indicator identifies "Squeeze" periods—when the price contracts and builds up energy. These zones are marked with a yellow background on the chart, signaling that a major move is imminent.
Momentum (The Trigger): An RSI (Relative Strength Index) acts as the trigger. A signal is only validated if momentum confirms the direction of the breakout (e.g., RSI > 55 for a buy), ensuring we enter the market with force.
Volume (The Final Confirmation): No breakout move is credible without volume. VMN checks if the volume at the time of the signal is significantly higher than its recent average, adding a vital layer of confirmation.
Green Arrow (Buy Signal): Appears ONLY when ALL the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Price is above the 100 EMA (Bullish Trend).
The chart is exiting a Squeeze zone (yellow background on the previous bar).
Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band.
RSI is above the buy threshold (default 55).
Volume is above average.
Red Arrow (Sell Signal): Appears ONLY when all the opposite conditions are met.
Do not treat signals as blind commands to trade. They are high-probability confirmations.
Look for signals near key Support/Resistance levels for an even higher success rate.
Always set a Stop Loss (e.g., below the low of the signal candle or below the lower Bollinger Band for a buy).
All parameters (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands lengths, thresholds, etc.) can be customized from the settings menu to adapt the indicator to any financial asset or timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before risking real capital.
Volatility
Future is hereOverview
"Future is Here" is an original, multi-faceted Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive toolset for identifying high-probability trading opportunities. By integrating volatility-based entry zones, trend-based price targets, momentum confirmation, dynamic support/resistance levels, and risk-reward ratio (RRR) calculations, this indicator offers a cohesive and actionable trading framework. Each feature is carefully designed to complement the others, ensuring a synergistic approach that enhances decision-making across various market conditions. This script is unique in its ability to combine these elements into a single, streamlined interface with clear visual cues and customizable alerts, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features and How They Work Together
Volatility-Based Entry Zones
Purpose: Identifies overbought and oversold conditions using a volatility-adjusted moving average, helping traders spot potential reversal zones.
Mechanism: Utilizes a user-defined volatility length and multiplier to calculate dynamic overbought/oversold thresholds based on the standard deviation of price. Crossovers and crossunders of these levels trigger "Buy Zone" or "Sell Zone" labels.
Synergy: These zones act as the foundation for entry signals, which are later confirmed by momentum and trend filters to reduce false signals.
Trend-Based Price Targets
Purpose: Projects potential price targets based on the prevailing trend, giving traders clear objectives for profit-taking.
Mechanism: Combines a fast and slow moving average to determine trend direction, then calculates target prices using a multiplier of the price deviation from the slow MA. Labels display bullish or bearish targets when the fast MA crosses the slow MA.
Synergy: Works in tandem with entry zones and momentum signals to align targets with market conditions, ensuring traders aim for realistic price levels supported by trend strength.
Momentum Confirmation
Purpose: Validates entry signals by assessing momentum strength, filtering out weak setups.
Mechanism: Uses the momentum indicator to detect bullish or bearish momentum crossovers, labeling them as "Strong" or "Weak" based on a comparison with a smoothed momentum average.
Synergy: Enhances the reliability of buy/sell signals by ensuring momentum aligns with volatility zones and trend direction, reducing the risk of premature entries.
Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
Purpose: Highlights key price levels where the market is likely to react, aiding in trade planning and risk management.
Mechanism: Detects pivot highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period, drawing horizontal lines for the most recent support and resistance levels (limited to two each for clarity). Labels mark these levels with price values.
Synergy: Complements entry zones and price targets by providing context for potential reversal or continuation points, helping traders set logical stop-losses or take-profits.
Buy/Sell Signals with Risk-Reward Ratios
Purpose: Generates precise buy/sell signals with integrated take-profit (TP), stop-loss (SL), and RRR calculations for disciplined trading.
Mechanism: Combines volatility zone crossovers, trend confirmation, and positive momentum to trigger signals. ATR-based TP and SL levels are calculated, and the RRR is displayed in labels for quick assessment.
Synergy: This feature ties together all previous components, ensuring signals are only generated when volatility, trend, and momentum align, while providing clear risk-reward metrics for trade evaluation.
Customizable Alerts
Purpose: Enables traders to stay informed of trading opportunities without constant chart monitoring.
Mechanism: Alert conditions are set for buy and sell signals, delivering notifications with the entry price for seamless integration into trading workflows.
Synergy: Enhances usability by allowing traders to act on high-probability setups identified by the indicator’s combined logic.
Originality
"Future is Here" is an original creation that distinguishes itself through its holistic approach to technical analysis. Unlike single-purpose indicators, it integrates volatility, trend, momentum, and support/resistance into a unified system, reducing the need for multiple scripts. The inclusion of RRR calculations directly in signal labels is a unique feature that empowers traders to evaluate trade quality instantly. The script’s design emphasizes clarity and efficiency, with cooldowns to prevent label clutter and a limit on support/resistance lines to maintain chart readability. This combination of features, along with its customizable parameters, makes it a versatile and novel tool for traders seeking a robust, all-in-one solution.
How to Use
Setup: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart and adjust input parameters (e.g., Volatility Length, Trend Length, TP/SL Multipliers) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Interpretation:
Look for "Buy Zone" or "Sell Zone" labels to identify potential entry points.
Confirm entries with "Bull Mom" or "Bear Mom" labels and trend direction (Bull/Bear Target labels).
Use Support/Resistance lines to set logical TP/SL levels or anticipate reversals.
Evaluate Buy/Sell signals with TP, SL, and RRR for high-probability trades.
Alerts: Set up alerts for Buy/Sell signals to receive real-time notifications.
Customization: Fine-tune multipliers and lengths to adapt the indicator to different markets (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto) or timeframes.
[Mad]Triple Bollinger Bands ForecastTriple Bollinger Bands Forecast (BBx3+F)
This open-source indicator is an advanced version of the classic Bollinger Bands, designed to provide a more comprehensive and forward-looking view of market volatility and potential price levels.
It plots three distinct sets of Bollinger Bands and projects them into the future based on statistical calculations.
How It Is Built and Key Features
Triple Bollinger Bands: Instead of a single set of bands, this indicator plots three. All three share the same central basis line (a Simple Moving Average), but each has a different standard deviation multiplier. This creates three distinct volatility zones for analyzing price deviation from its mean.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: The indicator can calculate and display Bollinger Bands from a higher timeframe (e.g., showing daily bands on a 4-hour chart). This allows for contextualizing price action within the volatility structure of a more significant trend.
(Lower HTF selection will result in script-crash!)
Future Forecasting: This is the indicator's main feature. It projects the calculated Bollinger Bands up to 8 bars into the future. This forecast is a recalculation of the Simple Moving Average and Standard Deviation based on a projected future source price.
Selectable Forecast Methods: The mathematical model for estimating the future source price can be selected:
Flat: A model that uses the most recent closing price as the price for all future bars in the calculation window.
Linreg (Linear Regression): A model that calculates a linear regression trend on the last few bars and projects it forward to estimate the future source price.
Efficient Drawing with Polylines: The future projections are drawn on the chart using Pine Script's polyline object. This is an efficient method that draws the forecast data only on the last bar, which avoids repainting issues.
Differences from a Classical Bollinger Bands Indicator
Band Count: A classical indicator shows one set of bands. This indicator plots three sets for a multi-layered view of volatility.
Perspective: Classical Bollinger Bands are purely historical. This indicator is both historical and forward-looking .
Forecasting: The classic version has no forecasting capability. This indicator projects the bands into the future .
Timeframe: The classic version works only on the current timeframe. This indicator has full Multi-Timeframe (MTF) support .
The Mathematics Behind the Future Predictions
The core challenge in forecasting Bollinger Bands is that a future band value depends on future prices, which are unknown. This indicator solves this by simulating a future price series. Here is the step-by-step logic:
Forecast the Source Price for the Next Bar
First, the indicator estimates what the price will be on the next bar.
Flat Method: The forecasted price is the current bar's closing price.
Price_forecast = close
Linreg Method: A linear regression is calculated on the last few bars and extrapolated one step forward.
Price_forecast = ta.linreg(close, linreglen, 1)
Calculate the Future SMA (Basis)
To calculate the Simple Moving Average for the next bar, a new data window is simulated. This window includes the new forecasted price and drops the oldest historical price. For a 1-bar forecast, the calculation is:
SMA_future = (Price_forecast + close + close + ... + close ) / length
Calculate the Future Standard Deviation
Similarly, the standard deviation for the next bar is calculated over this same simulated window of prices, using the new SMA_future as its mean.
// 1. Calculate the sum of squared differences from the new mean
d_f = Price_forecast - SMA_future
d_0 = close - SMA_future
// ... and so on for the rest of the window's prices
SumOfSquares = (d_f)^2 + (d_0)^2 + ... + (d_length-2)^2
// 2. Calculate future variance and then the standard deviation
Var_future = SumOfSquares / length
StDev_future = sqrt(Var_future)
Extending the Forecast (2 to 8 Bars)
For forecasts further into the future (e.g., 2 bars), the script uses the same single Price_forecast for all future steps in the calculation. For a 2-bar forecast, the simulated window effectively contains the forecasted price twice, while dropping the two oldest historical prices. This provides a statistically-grounded projection of where the Bollinger Bands are likely to form.
Usage as a Forecast Extension
This indicator's functionality is designed to be modular. It can be used in conjunction with as example Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF script to separate the rendering of historical data from the forward-looking forecast.
Configuration for Combined Use:
Add both the Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF and this Triple Bollinger Bands Forecast indicator to your chart.
Open the Settings for this indicator (BBx3+F).
In the 'General Settings' tab, disable the Activate Plotting option.
To ensure data consistency, the Bollinger Length, Multipliers, and Higher Timeframe settings should be identical across both indicators.
This configuration prevents the rendering of duplicate historical bands. The Mad Triple Bollinger Bands MTF script will be responsible for visualizing the historical and current bands, while this script will overlay only the forward-projected polyline data.
volatility-adjusted breakout envelopethis indicator is designed to help traders visually identify potential entry and exit points based on volatility-adjusted price thresholds. it works by calculating a dynamic expected price move around the previous close using historical volatility data smoothed by exponential moving averages to reduce noise and present a clear range boundary on the chart.
the indicator first computes the logarithmic returns over a user-defined lookback period and calculates the standard deviation of these returns, which represents raw volatility. it annualizes this volatility according to the chart timeframe selected, then uses it to estimate an expected price movement for the current timeframe. this expected move is smoothed to avoid sudden spikes or drops that could cause confusing signals.
using this expected move, the indicator generates two key threshold lines: an upper threshold and a lower threshold. these lines create a volatility-based range around the smoothed previous close price. the thresholds themselves are further smoothed with exponential moving averages to produce smooth, easy-to-interpret lines that adapt to changing market conditions without being choppy.
the core trading signals are generated when the price closes outside of these smoothed threshold ranges. specifically, a long entry signal is indicated when the price closes above the upper threshold for the first time, signaling potential upward momentum beyond normal volatility expectations. a short entry signal occurs when the price closes below the lower threshold for the first time, indicating potential downward momentum.
once an entry signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the price to close back inside the threshold range before signaling an exit. when this occurs, an exit marker is displayed to indicate that the price has returned within normal volatility bounds, which may suggest that the previous trend is losing strength or the breakout has ended.
these signals are visually represented on the chart using small shapes: triangles pointing upwards mark the initial long entries, triangles pointing downwards mark short entries, and x shapes mark the exits for both long and short positions. the colors of these shapes are customizable to suit user preferences.
to use this indicator effectively, traders should watch for the first close outside the smoothed volatility range to consider entering a position in the breakout direction. the exit signals help identify when price action reverts back into the expected range, which can be used to close or reduce the position. this method emphasizes trading breakouts supported by statistically significant moves relative to recent volatility while providing a clear exit discipline.
this indicator is best applied to intraday or daily charts with consistent volatility and volume characteristics. users should adjust the volatility lookback period, smoothing factor, and trading session times to match their specific market and trading style. because it relies on price volatility rather than fixed price levels, it can adapt to changing market conditions but should be combined with other analysis tools and proper risk management.
overall, this indicator provides a smoothed, dynamic volatility envelope with clear visual entry and exit cues based on first closes outside and back inside these envelopes, making it a helpful assistant for manual traders seeking to capture statistically significant breakouts while maintaining disciplined exits.
Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings
Z-Score Lookback (default: 100): Number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for Z-score normalization. Larger values smooth the Z-scores; smaller values make them more reactive.
Bar Color Mode (default: None): Determines how bars are visually colored. Options include: None: No candle coloring applied. - Heat: Smooth gradient based on the Z-score value. - Latest Signal: Applies a solid color based on the most recent buy or sell signal
Boolean - General
Plot Universal Valuation Line (default: true): If enabled, plots the average Z-score (zAvg) line in the separate pane.
Show Signals (default: true): Displays labels ("𝓤𝓹" for buy, "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" for sell) when zAvg crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Show Z-Score Table (default: true): Displays a live table listing each enabled indicator's Z-score and the current average.
Select Indicators
These toggles enable or disable each indicator from contributing to the Z-score average:
Use VWAP Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sortino Z-Score (default: true)
Use ROC Z-Score (default: true)
Use Price Z-Score (default: true)
Use MACD Histogram Z-Score (default: false)

Use Sharpe Z-Score (default: true)
Only enabled indicators are included in the average. This modular design allows traders to tailor the signal mix to their preferences.
Indicator Lengths
These inputs control how each individual indicator is calculated:
MACD Fast Length (default: 12)
MACD Slow Length (default: 26)
MACD Signal Length (default: 9)
Bollinger Basis Length (default: 20): Used to compute the Bollinger %B.
Bollinger Deviation Multiplier (default: 2.0): Standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Band calculation.
Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.

KST Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
KST Strategy leverages Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator in conjunction with the Williams Alligator and Moving average to obtain the high probability setups. KST is used for for having the high probability to enter in the direction of a current trend when momentum is rising, Alligator is used as a short term trend filter, while Moving average approximates the long term trend and allows trades only in its direction. Also strategy has the additional optional filter on Choppiness Index which does not allow trades if market is choppy, above the user-specified threshold. Strategy has the user specified take profit and stop-loss numbers, but multiplied by Average True Range (ATR) value on the moment when trade is open. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
ATR based stop-loss and take profit. Instead of fixed take profit and stop-loss percentage strategy utilizes user chosen numbers multiplied by ATR for its calculation.
Configurable Trading Periods. Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Optional Choppiness Index filter. Strategy allows to choose if it will use the filter trades with Choppiness Index and set up its threshold.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Close price is above the Alligator's jaw line
Close price is above the filtering Moving average
KST line of Know Sure Thing indicator shall cross over its signal line (details in justification of methodology)
If the Choppiness Index filter is enabled its value shall be less than user defined threshold
When the long trade is executed algorithm defines the stop-loss level as the low minus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. Also it defines take profit with close price plus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. While trade is in progress, if high price on any candle above the calculated take profit level or low price is below the calculated stop loss level, trade is closed.

User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is KST, Williams Alligator, Moving Average, ATR and Choppiness Index.
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring. It combines multiple Rate of Change (ROC) values, smoothed over different timeframes, to identify trend direction and momentum strength. First of all, what is ROC? ROC (Rate of Change) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a set number of periods ago.
ROC = 100 * (Current Price - Price N Periods Ago) / Price N Periods Ago
In our case N is the KST ROC Length inputs from settings, here we will calculate 4 different ROCs to obtain KST value:
KST = ROC1_smooth × 1 + ROC2_smooth × 2 + ROC3_smooth × 3 + ROC4_smooth × 4
ROC1 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #1), smoothed by KST SMA Length #1,
ROC2 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #2), smoothed by KST SMA Length #2,
ROC3 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #3), smoothed by KST SMA Length #3,
ROC4 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #4), smoothed by KST SMA Length #4
Also for this indicator the signal line is calculated:
Signal = SMA(KST, KST Signal Line Length)
When the KST line rises, it indicates increasing momentum and suggests that an upward trend may be developing. Conversely, when the KST line declines, it reflects weakening momentum and a potential downward trend. A crossover of the KST line above its signal line is considered a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line is viewed as a sell signal. If the KST stays above zero, it indicates overall bullish momentum; if it remains below zero, it points to bearish momentum. The KST indicator smooths momentum across multiple timeframes, helping to reduce noise and provide clearer signals for medium- to long-term trends.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
The next indicator is Moving Average. It has a lot of different types which can be chosen to filter trades and the Least Squares MA is used by default settings. Let's briefly explain what is it.
The Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) — also known as Linear Regression Moving Average — is a trend-following indicator that uses the least squares method to fit a straight line to the price data over a given period, then plots the value of that line at the most recent point. It draws the best-fitting straight line through the past N prices (using linear regression), and then takes the endpoint of that line as the value of the moving average for that bar. The LSMA aims to reduce lag and highlight the current trend more accurately than traditional moving averages like SMA or EMA.
Key Features:
It reacts faster to price changes than most moving averages.
It is smoother and less noisy than short-term EMAs.
It can be used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
ATR (Average True Range) is a volatility indicator that measures how much an asset typically moves during a given period. It was introduced by J. Welles Wilder and is widely used to assess market volatility, not direction.
To calculate it first of all we need to get True Range (TR), this is the greatest value among:
High - Low
abs(High - Previous Close)
abs(Low - Previous Close)
ATR = MA(TR, n) , where n is number of periods for moving average, in our case equals 14.
ATR shows how much an asset moves on average per candle/bar. A higher ATR means more volatility; a lower ATR means a calmer market.
The Choppiness Index is a technical indicator that quantifies whether the market is trending or choppy (sideways). It doesn't indicate trend direction — only the strength or weakness of a trend. Higher Choppiness Index usually approximates the sideways market, while its low value tells us that there is a high probability of a trend.
Choppiness Index = 100 × log10(ΣATR(n) / (MaxHigh(n) - MinLow(n))) / log10(n)
where:
ΣATR(n) = sum of the Average True Range over n periods
MaxHigh(n) = highest high over n periods
MinLow(n) = lowest low over n periods
log10 = base-10 logarithm
Now let's understand how these indicators work in conjunction and why they were chosen for this strategy. KST indicator approximates current momentum, when it is rising and KST line crosses over the signal line there is high probability that short term trend is reversing to the upside and strategy allows to take part in this potential move. Alligator's jaw (blue) line is used as an approximation of a short term trend, taking trades only above it we want to avoid trading against trend to increase probability that long trade is going to be winning.
Almost the same for Moving Average, but it approximates the long term trend, this is just the additional filter. If we trade in the direction of the long term trend we increase probability that higher risk to reward trade will hit the take profit. Choppiness index is the optional filter, but if it turned on it is used for approximating if now market is in sideways or in trend. On the range bounded market the potential moves are restricted. We want to decrease probability opening trades in such condition avoiding trades if this index is above threshold value.
When trade is open script sets the stop loss and take profit targets. ATR approximates the current volatility, so we can make a decision when to exit a trade based on current market condition, it can increase the probability that strategy will avoid the excessive stop loss hits, but anyway user can setup how many ATRs to use as a stop loss and take profit target. As was said in the Methodology stop loss level is obtained by subtracting number of ATRs from trade opening candle low, while take profit by adding to this candle's close.

VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)
Version 1.2
Overview
This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders, designed to identify high-probability areas of support and resistance. It plots the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a central "value" line and then draws statistically-based deviation channels around it.
Its unique feature is a dynamic probability engine that analyzes thousands of historical price bars to calculate and display the real-time likelihood of the price touching each of these deviation levels. This provides a quantifiable edge for making trading decisions.
Core Concepts Explained
This indicator is built on three key concepts:
The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The dotted midline of the channels is the session VWAP. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA) which only considers price, the VWAP incorporates volume into its calculation. This makes it a much more significant benchmark, as it represents the true average price where the most business has been transacted during the day. It's heavily used by institutional traders, which is why price often reacts strongly to it.
Standard Deviation Channels: The channels above and below the VWAP are based on standard deviations. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility.
- Wide Bands: When the channels are wide, it signifies high volatility.
- Narrow Bands: When the channels are tight and narrow, it signifies low volatility and
consolidation (a "squeeze").
The Conditional Probability Engine: This is the heart of the indicator. For every deviation level, the script displays a percentage. This percentage answers a very specific question:
"Based on thousands of previous bars, when the last candle had a certain momentum (bullish or bearish), what was the historical probability that the price would touch this specific level?"
The probabilities are calculated separately depending on whether the previous candle was green (bullish) or red (bearish). This provides a nuanced, momentum-based edge. The level with the highest probability is highlighted, acting as a "price magnet."
How to Use This Indicator
Recommended Timeframes:
This indicator is designed specifically for intraday trading. It works best on timeframes like the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute charts. It will not display correctly on daily or higher timeframes.
Recommended Trading Strategy: Mean Reversion
The primary strategy for this indicator is "Mean Reversion." The core idea is that as the price stretches to extreme levels far away from the VWAP (the "mean"), it is statistically more likely to "snap back" toward it.
Here is a step-by-step guide to trading this setup:
1. Identify the Extreme: Wait for the price to push into one of the outer deviation bands (e.g., the -2, -3, or -4 bands for a buy setup, or the +2, +3, or +4 bands for a sell setup).
2. Look for the High-Probability Zone: Pay close attention to the highlighted probability label. This is the level that has historically acted as the strongest magnet for price. A touch of this level represents a high-probability area for a potential reversal.
3. Wait for Confirmation: Do not enter a trade just because the price has touched a band. Wait for a confirmation candle that shows momentum is shifting.
- For a Buy: Look for a strong bullish candle (e.g., a green engulfing candle or a hammer/pin
bar) to form at the lower bands.
- For a Sell: Look for a strong bearish candle (e.g., a red engulfing candle or a shooting star)
to form at the upper bands.
Define Your Exit:
- Take Profit: A logical primary target for a mean reversion trade is the VWAP (midLine).
- Stop Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just outside the next deviation band. For
example, if you enter a long trade at the -3 band, your stop loss could be placed just
below the -4 band.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be considered a standalone trading system. Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and sound risk management practices.
Iceberg DetectorThis Pine-script indicator helps you spot potential “iceberg” order activity by highlighting bars where volume spikes well above its average while price movement remains unusually muted. It’s purely a heuristic—no true bid/ask or futures order‐flow data is used—so treat every signal as an invitation to investigate, not as a standalone buy/sell trigger.
How It Works • Volume vs. Volume-SMA: The script compares each bar’s total volume to an N-bar simple moving average. • Price Movement vs. Movement-SMA: It measures the bar’s percent change (|close–open|/open×100) against its own N-bar SMA. • Sensitivity Slider: From 1 (loose filter) to 10 (strict filter), you control how extreme the volume spike (and muted move) must be to fire a signal. • Pivot-Style Extremes Filter: Short signals only appear when price is at or very near a recent local high, and long signals only when price is at or very near a recent local low. This dramatically cuts down “noise” on lower timeframes—script execution halts on intraday charts below 1 H.
How to Use
Apply to an hourly (or higher) chart.
Tweak “Length” parameters for your preferred look-back on volume and movement SMAs.
Adjust “Sensitivity” from 1 (more signals, weaker divergences) up to 10 (very rare, extreme divergences).
Watch for red triangles above bars (Iceberg-Short) and green triangles below (Iceberg-Long).
Important Disclaimers • This is NOT a genuine order-flow or footprint tool—it only approximates delta by bar direction. • Always contextualize Short signals near the lower end of a range or support zone, and Long signals near the upper end of a range or resistance zone. • Use additional confirmation (price patterns, larger-timeframe pivots, traditional volume/price analysis) before risking real capital.
By combining volume spikes with muted price action at range extremes, you gain a fresh lens on where hidden large orders might be lurking—without needing a dedicated order-flow feed. Use it as an idea‐generator, not as gospel
Volatility Zones (STDEV %)This indicator displays the relative volatility of an asset as a percentage, based on the standard deviation of price over a custom length.
🔍 Key features:
• Uses standard deviation (%) to reflect recent price volatility
• Classifies volatility into three zones:
Low volatility (≤2%) — highlighted in blue
Medium volatility (2–4%) — highlighted in orange
High volatility (>4%) — highlighted in red
• Supports visual background shading and colored line output
• Works on any timeframe and asset
📊 This tool is useful for identifying low-risk entry zones, periods of expansion or contraction in price behavior, and dynamic market regime changes.
You can adjust the STDEV length to suit your strategy or timeframe. Best used in combination with your entry logic or trend filters.
Liquidity Rush:VSMarkettrend Liquidity Rush (LR) Indicator – Market Move Detector
🔍 What is Liquidity Rush?
The Liquidity Rush (LR) indicator detects the flow of big money (institutional or high-volume traders) into a stock over a selected time frame. It visually represents the net liquidity inflow/outflow and compares it with the stock's total market capitalization (MC) to give you a contextual view of its significance.
📊 Indicator Output:
You’ll see a label like:
250.07 Cr / 0.23%MC
250.07 Cr → Liquidity change (buy/sell impact) in the selected timeframe.
0.23%MC → This liquidity is 0.23% of the stock’s market cap.
This helps you judge:
Whether the move is impactful or just noise.
If smart money is likely entering or exiting.
⚠️ Why % of Market Cap?
Volume or liquidity alone doesn't tell the full story. 100 Cr inflow in a 5,000 Cr company is significant (2%), but the same in a 50,000 Cr company is not impactful (0.2%). That’s why this indicator shows LR as a % of MC — to give you contextual importance.
🟢 When is it Powerful?
If LR % > 2% of market cap consistently → Strong entry signals likely from big players.
If LR jumps suddenly after a dull phase → Watch for breakout or reversal.
🎨 Color Coding (Based on Liquidity Amount):
<10 Cr → Low (likely retail-driven)
>10–20 Cr → Moderate (watchful)
>20–100 Cr → Heating up
>100 Cr → High liquidity activity (possible institutional move)
📅 Best Timeframes:
Use it on Daily, Weekly for quick flow detection.
Combine with price action or volume for confirmation.
Use Cases:
Identify breakouts with backing.
Filter fake moves with weak liquidity.
Spot smart money entry before price jumps.
Note : It does not means that stock with low LR are bad and not move, many stock move with low LR also, This indicator need not to be used in isolation.

Momentum Trajectory Suite📈 Momentum Trajectory Suite
🟢 Overview
Momentum Trajectory Suite is a multi-faceted indicator designed to help traders evaluate trend direction, volatility conditions, and behavioral sentiment in a single consolidated view.
By combining a customizable Trajectory EMA, adaptive Bollinger Bands, and a Greed vs. Fear heatmap, this tool empowers traders to identify directional bias, measure momentum strength, and spot potential reversals or continuation setups.
🧠 Concept
This indicator merges three classic techniques:
Trend Analysis: Trajectory EMA highlights the prevailing directional momentum by smoothing price action over a customizable period.
Volatility Envelopes: Bollinger Bands adapt to dynamic price swings, showing overbought/oversold extremes and periods of contraction or expansion.
Behavioral Sentiment: A Greed vs. Fear heatmap combines RSI and MACD Histogram readings to visualize when markets are dominated by buying enthusiasm or selling pressure.
The combination is designed to help traders interpret market context more effectively than using any single component alone.
🛠️ How to Use the Indicator
Trajectory EMA:
Use the blue EMA line to assess overall trend direction.
Price closing above the EMA may indicate bullish momentum; closing below may indicate bearish bias.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Green circles appear when price crosses above the EMA (potential long entry).
Red circles appear when price crosses below the EMA (potential exit or short entry).
Bollinger Bands:
Monitor upper/lower bands for overbought and oversold price extremes.
Narrowing bands may signal upcoming volatility expansion.
Greed vs. Fear Heatmap:
Green histogram bars indicate bullish sentiment when RSI exceeds 60 and MACD Histogram is positive.
Red histogram bars indicate bearish sentiment when RSI is below 40 and MACD Histogram is negative.
Gray bars indicate neutral or mixed conditions.
Background Color Zones:
The chart background shifts to green when EMA slope is positive and red when negative, providing quick directional cues.
All inputs are adjustable in settings, including EMA length, Bollinger Band parameters, and oscillator configurations.
📊 Interpretation
Bullish Conditions:
Price above the Trajectory EMA, background green, and Greed heatmap active.
May signal trend continuation and increased buying pressure.
Bearish Conditions:
Price below the Trajectory EMA, background red, and Fear heatmap active.
May signal momentum breakdown or potential continuation to the downside.
Volatility Clues:
Wide Bollinger Bands = trending, volatile market.
Narrow Bollinger Bands = low volatility and possible breakout setup.

Ticker Pulse Meter + Fear EKG StrategyDescription
The Ticker Pulse Meter + Fear EKG Strategy is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential entry and exit points for long positions based on price action relative to historical ranges. It combines two proprietary indicators: the Ticker Pulse Meter (TPM), which measures price positioning within short- and long-term ranges, and the Fear EKG, a VIX-inspired oscillator that detects extreme market conditions. The strategy is non-repainting, ensuring signals are generated only on confirmed bars to avoid false positives. Visual enhancements, such as optional moving averages and Bollinger Bands, provide additional context but are not core to the strategy's logic. This script is suitable for traders seeking a systematic approach to capturing momentum and mean-reversion opportunities.
How It Works
The strategy evaluates price action using two key metrics:
Ticker Pulse Meter (TPM): Measures the current price's position within short- and long-term price ranges to identify momentum or overextension.
Fear EKG: Detects extreme selling pressure (akin to "irrational selling") by analyzing price behavior relative to historical lows, inspired by volatility-based oscillators.
Entry signals are generated when specific conditions align, indicating potential buying opportunities. Exits are triggered based on predefined thresholds or partial position closures to manage risk. The strategy supports customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and exit percentages, allowing flexibility across different markets and timeframes. Visual cues, such as entry/exit dots and a position table, enhance usability, while optional overlays like moving averages and Bollinger Bands provide additional chart context.
Calculation Overview
Price Range Calculations:
Short-Term Range: Uses the lowest low (min_price_short) and highest high (max_price_short) over a user-defined short lookback period (lookback_short, default 50 bars).
Long-Term Range: Uses the lowest low (min_price_long) and highest high (max_price_long) over a user-defined long lookback period (lookback_long, default 200 bars).
Percentage Metrics:
pct_above_short: Percentage of the current close above the short-term range.
pct_above_long: Percentage of the current close above the long-term range.
Combined metrics (pct_above_long_above_short, pct_below_long_below_short) normalize price action for signal generation.
Signal Generation:
Long Entry (TPM): Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above a user-defined threshold (entryThresholdhigh, default 20) and pct_below_long_below_short is below a low threshold (entryThresholdlow, default 40).
Long Entry (Fear EKG): Triggered when pct_below_long_below_short crosses under an extreme threshold (orangeEntryThreshold, default 95), indicating potential oversold conditions.
Long Exit: Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses under a profit-taking level (profitTake, default 95). Partial exits are supported via a user-defined percentage (exitAmt, default 50%).
Non-Repainting Logic: Signals are calculated using data from the previous bar ( ) and only plotted on confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed), ensuring reliability.
Visual Enhancements:
Optional moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or SMMA) and Bollinger Bands can be enabled for trend context.
A position table displays real-time metrics, including open positions, Fear EKG, and Ticker Pulse values.
Background highlights mark periods of high selling pressure.
Entry Rules
Long Entry:
TPM Signal: Occurs when the price shows strength relative to both short- and long-term ranges, as defined by pct_above_long_above_short crossing above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short below entryThresholdlow.
Fear EKG Signal: Triggered by extreme selling pressure, when pct_below_long_below_short crosses under orangeEntryThreshold. This signal is optional and can be toggled via enable_yellow_signals.
Entries are executed only on confirmed bars to prevent repainting.
Exit Rules
Long Exit: Triggered when pct_above_long_above_short crosses under profitTake.
Partial exits are supported, with the strategy closing a user-defined percentage of the position (exitAmt) up to four times per position (exit_count limit).
Exits can be disabled or adjusted via enable_short_signal and exitPercentage settings.
Inputs
Backtest Start Date: Defines the start of the backtesting period (default: Jan 1, 2017).
Lookback Periods: Short (lookback_short, default 50) and long (lookback_long, default 200) periods for range calculations.
Resolution: Timeframe for price data (default: Daily).
Entry/Exit Thresholds:
entryThresholdhigh (default 20): Threshold for TPM entry.
entryThresholdlow (default 40): Secondary condition for TPM entry.
orangeEntryThreshold (default 95): Threshold for Fear EKG entry.
profitTake (default 95): Exit threshold.
exitAmt (default 50%): Percentage of position to exit.
Visual Options: Toggle for moving averages and Bollinger Bands, with customizable types and lengths.
Notes
The strategy is designed to work across various timeframes and assets, with data sourced from user-selected resolutions (i_res).
Alerts are included for long entry and exit signals, facilitating integration with TradingView's alert system.
The script avoids repainting by using confirmed bar data and shifted calculations ( ).
Visual elements (e.g., SMA, Bollinger Bands) are inspired by standard Pine Script practices and are optional, not integral to the core logic.
Usage
Apply the script to a chart, adjust input settings to suit your trading style, and use the visual cues (entry/exit dots, position table) to monitor signals. Enable alerts for real-time notifications.
Designed to work best on Daily timeframe.

Williams VIX For Bottoms [DCD]Williams VIX Original - Authentic Volatility Fear Gauge
What This Indicator Does
The Williams VIX Fix measures market fear by calculating how far current lows deviate from recent highs, identifying potential market bottoms during high volatility periods. This implementation provides Larry Williams' original formula in its purest form.
How It Works
Core Formula:
VIX Fix = ((Highest High over 22 periods - Current Low) / Highest High over 22 periods) × 100
The calculation process:
Measures Relative Distance: Compares current low to highest high over lookback period
Converts to Percentage: Normalizes values for cross-market comparison
Applies Statistical Analysis: Uses Bollinger Bands (2 std dev) around VIX Fix values
Filters with Percentiles: 85th percentile threshold removes noise
Signal Generation
Green Flash Signals trigger when either condition is met:
VIX Fix exceeds upper Bollinger Band (2 standard deviations above 20-period MA)
VIX Fix exceeds Range High (85th percentile of recent values)
This dual-condition approach reduces false signals while capturing genuine volatility spikes.
What Makes This Original
Pure Formula Implementation: Uses Williams' exact original calculation without modifications
Dual Confirmation System: Combines Bollinger Bands with percentile analysis
Professional Visualization: Histogram display, background highlighting, and live value table
Comprehensive Alerts: Signal start/end notifications plus Green Flash alerts
How to Use
Primary Purpose: Spot high-probability reversal zones during market fear climaxes
Signal Interpretation:
Green triangle + background highlight = High volatility reversal zone
Higher VIX Fix values = Stronger fear/better reversal potential
Use with price action confirmation for best results
Optimal Settings:
Timeframes: 4H, Daily, Weekly
Markets: All (stocks, crypto, forex, commodities)
Combine with support levels and candlestick patterns
Key Parameters:
VIX Fix Length (22): Lookback period for highest high
Std Dev Multiplier (2.0): Bollinger Band sensitivity
Percentile High (0.85): Only top 15% of readings trigger signals
The VIX Fix excels at identifying market fear climaxes that coincide with significant price bottoms, making it valuable for swing traders seeking high-probability entries during market stress.
BB VolatilityBB Volatility indicator is monitoring the famous Bollinger Bands volatility in a normalised manner.
Could not find anything similar so thought this would be useful.
For confirmation signals of the BB to move into one or another direction it is complemented with SMA and EMA.
Additionally, it is complemented with Min Level of BB line - a level user can define and decide to use or not for even stronger conviction for a potential BB expansion.
How to use?
As it monitors when the BB narrows, it helps to identify potential price breakout moments in one or another direction.
Users can adjust duration and Min Level inputs as per security they are interested.
For better visualisation purposes, the background is plotted light green when BB crosses both SMA and EMA upwards. And plotted light red when BB crosses both downwards. Users can also adjust the colors as per their preferences.
This indicator just helps to define potential BB expansion moments. No indicator alone is perfect and for most effective use needs to be complemented with overall market context and other chart patterns.
Historical Volatility with HV Average & High/Low Trendlines
### 📊 **Indicator Title**: Historical Volatility with HV Average & High/Low Trendlines
**Version**: Pine Script v5
**Purpose**:
This script visualizes market volatility using **Historical Volatility (HV)** and enhances analysis by:
* Showing a **moving average** of HV to identify volatility trends.
* Marking **high and low trendlines** to highlight extremes in volatility over a selected period.
---
### 🔧 **Inputs**:
1. **HV Length (`length`)**:
Controls how many bars are used to calculate Historical Volatility.
*(Default: 10)*
2. **Average Length (`avgLength`)**:
Number of bars used for calculating the moving average of HV.
*(Default: 20)*
3. **Trendline Lookback Period (`trendLookback`)**:
Number of bars to look back for calculating the highest and lowest values of HV.
*(Default: 100)*
---
### 📈 **Core Calculations**:
1. **Historical Volatility (`hv`)**:
$$
HV = 100 \times \text{stdev}\left(\ln\left(\frac{\text{close}}{\text{close} }\right), \text{length}\right) \times \sqrt{\frac{365}{\text{period}}}
$$
* Measures how much the stock price fluctuates.
* Adjusts annualization factor depending on whether it's intraday or daily.
2. **HV Moving Average (`hvAvg`)**:
A simple moving average (SMA) of HV over the selected `avgLength`.
3. **HV High & Low Trendlines**:
* `hvHigh`: Highest HV value over the last `trendLookback` bars.
* `hvLow`: Lowest HV value over the last `trendLookback` bars.
---
### 🖍️ **Visual Plots**:
* 🔵 **HV**: Blue line showing raw Historical Volatility.
* 🔴 **HV Average**: Red line (thicker) indicating smoothed HV trend.
* 🟢 **HV High**: Green horizontal line marking volatility peaks.
* 🟠 **HV Low**: Orange horizontal line marking volatility lows.
---
### ✅ **Usage**:
* **High HV**: Indicates increased risk or potential breakout conditions.
* **Low HV**: Suggests consolidation or calm markets.
* **Cross of HV above Average**: May signal rising volatility (e.g., before breakout).
* **Touching High/Low Levels**: Helps identify volatility extremes and possible reversal zones.
Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based)Velocity + Momentum (SMA-Based) is a clean, powerful oscillator that measures price acceleration using SMA-derived velocity and dual momentum signals. This tool is ideal for identifying directional shifts, exhaustion points, and early entries across any market or timeframe.
How It Works:
This indicator calculates velocity as the distance between the current close and a simple moving average of the open price. Then, it applies two smoothed moving averages to this velocity line:
• Internal Momentum (shorter-term smoothing)
• External Momentum (longer-term context, hidden by default)
The result is a layered view of how fast price is moving and whether that move is gaining or losing strength.
How to Use:
• The green/red histogram shows current velocity (positive = bullish, negative = bearish)
• The teal/maroon line tracks internal momentum and provides short-term signal turns
• The black/gray (hidden) line reflects external momentum and supports broader trend alignment
• Watch for crosses above/below the zero line for confirmation of directional strength
• Use the built-in alerts to catch real-time shifts in all three layers of movement: velocity, internal, and external
Why It's Useful:
• Detects subtle transitions before price structure changes
• Helps filter out noise by comparing short-term vs long-term motion
• Ideal for scalpers, swing traders, and trend-followers alike
• Pairs well with structure-based tools or price action zones
• Works on any asset and timeframe
This indicator simplifies momentum analysis by giving you actionable, multi-layered feedback on how price is accelerating — and when that’s likely to reverse.
Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Avg📊 Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Average
This indicator is designed to help traders identify pivotal moments of buildup, exhaustion, or imbalance in the market by calculating the tension between buy and sell volume.
🔍 How It Works:
Buy volume is approximated when the candle closes higher than or equal to its open.
Sell volume is approximated when the candle closes below its open.
Both are smoothed using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for noise reduction.
Tension is calculated as the absolute difference between smoothed buy and sell volume.
A rolling average of tension shows the baseline for normal behavior.
When instant tension rises significantly above the rolling average, it often signals:
A build-up before a large move
Aggressive order flow imbalances
Potential reversals or breakouts
🧠 How to Use:
Watch the orange line (instant tension) for spikes above the aqua line (rolling average).
Purple background highlights show when tension exceeds a customizable multiple of the average — a potential setup zone.
Use this indicator alongside:
Price action (candlestick structure)
Support/resistance
Liquidity zones or order blocks
⚙️ Settings:
Smoothing Length: Controls the responsiveness of buy/sell volume smoothing.
Rolling Avg Window: Defines the lookback period for the baseline tension.
Buildup Threshold: Triggers highlight zones when tension exceeds this multiple of the average.
🧪 Best For:
Spotting pre-breakout tension
Detecting volume-based divergences
Confirming order flow imbalances
FeraTrading Compression Indicator v1.3🧠 Overview:
The FeraTrading Compression Indicator v1.3 identifies early-stage directional breakouts that follow periods of volatility contraction. This tool is built for intraday traders looking to catch clean breakouts out of tight consolidations. It doesn’t just detect compression—it confirms when that compression is being forcefully released with directional intent.
By combining volatility filtering, trend structure via EMAs, body dominance checks, and an optional session filter, the indicator isolates breakout signals with a high degree of confluence. Users can optionally enable a Signal Flip mode to invert long/short logic—useful in mean-reverting environments or inverse structures.
⚙️ How It Works:
🔹 Volatility Compression Detection:
Compression is detected using a relative ATR comparison between short-term and long-term range averages.
When the short-term range falls below a threshold, the market is considered to be compressing.
This approach is fully adaptive—self-scaling across different asset types and timeframes.
🔹 Breakout Confirmation Logic:
A breakout is confirmed only when the following conditions align:
Range Expansion:
The breakout candle must exceed the long-term average range—confirming actual price expansion.
Strong Candle Body:
The body must represent a significant portion of the candle’s range, confirming momentum and directionality.
EMA Trend Alignment:
The script checks that a fast EMA is properly aligned with a slower EMA and that the candle closes beyond the fast EMA in the correct direction.
Optional Session Filter (08:30–11:30 EST):
Focuses signals to the high-volume portion of the day, increasing reliability. Can be disabled for full-session use.
Signal Flip Option:
Reverses signal logic for assets that often fade breakouts or move counter to structural expectations.
🧪 Built-In Backtester:
The script includes a bar-level backtester, enabling users to simulate SL/TP outcomes and visualize strategy performance directly on the chart.
🧮 Logic & Assumptions:
Trades enter at the open of the signal bar.
SL/TP levels are applied immediately.
If both are hit on the same bar, SL is assumed to hit first (for realism).
An optional setting closes trades at the end of day.
📊 Visual Feedback:
TP and SL levels are plotted in real time.
A stats box displays:
Win rate
Total trades
Max drawdown
Cumulative PnL
This provides an instant read on strategy behavior using your exact market view.
🎯 What Makes It Original:
Compression breakout logic without oscillators: Signals are built from candle structure, EMA alignment, and raw volatility—no lagging tools required.
Real-time SL/TP backtesting: Built-in engine allows traders to test performance without switching tools or exporting data.
Modular logic design: Session filters, signal flip, and compression strictness can be tailored to different markets and conditions.
Minimal input, deep logic: Two volatility filters, two EMAs, and a candle body check combine into a layered signal system that adapts in real time.
This balance of simplicity and structural precision makes it highly versatile for active day traders across asset classes.
✅ How to Use:
Add the script to any chart (1m–15m ideal).
Watch for triangle signals:
Green = bullish breakout
Red = bearish breakout
Toggle session filters or signal flip as needed.
Enable the backtester to visualize edge over time.
Combine with structure, liquidity zones, or volume tools for confluence.
This indicator is best deployed during active market hours when breakout momentum has the highest chance of follow-through.
💎 Why It’s Worth Paying For
The FeraTrading Compression Indicator v1.3 is not just another breakout tool—it is a modular signal system with embedded trade testing logic, built specifically for real-world trading environments.
What makes it premium:
Live confluence-based signals with real volatility and momentum context
Custom-built SL/TP backtester with chart-based visual performance feedback
Non-repainting, directional logic with trend and structure confirmation
Adaptive signal behavior via session and flip toggles
Designed for real execution, not just visual alerts
The blend of signal accuracy, trade simulation, and structural adaptability makes this script more than an entry indicator—it’s a breakout testing and execution framework, ready to plug into any strategy.
✅ Compliance & Originality
This script was written entirely from scratch using original compression logic, trend structure filtering, and trade simulation. It does not reuse any public code, open-source snippets, or repackaged modules. All calculations, condition checks, visuals, and stats logic are unique to this tool. EMA's and ATR were used in filter logic, yet they are only 2 of many filters used, all of the others being fully custom built.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer & Access Policy
This tool does not predict market direction or guarantee trade results. It provides a rule-based breakout signal structure designed to align with price expansion logic.
Always use your own risk management practices and trade plans. This script is meant as a supportive tool, not a financial advisory system.
🔒 Why This Script Is Invite-Only and Closed-Source
To preserve the tool’s edge and prevent unauthorized replication, the script is invite-only and closed-source.
The following features are proprietary:
Compression zone and range expansion filter logic
Real-time SL/TP backtesting engine
Signal flip and session filtering integration
Confluence layering using structure, volatility, and body-based validation
Opening the source would expose key mechanics and reduce the integrity of the strategy’s edge. Closed access ensures the system remains performant, exclusive, and trusted by serious traders.
FeraTrading Compression Flow v1🧠 Overview:
The FeraTrading Compression Flow v1 identifies moments in the market where volatility contracts and directional momentum builds beneath the surface. It detects when price compresses into a tight range, then confirms when momentum, volatility, and trend alignment combine to signal a high-probability breakout. Once all conditions are met, the indicator activates a persistent directional bias, shown visually with colored dynamic bands.
This isn’t just another squeeze or Bollinger-style compression indicator—it adds multi-layered confirmation logic and unique bias persistence mechanics, helping traders stay aligned with trend-based breakout phases rather than just spotting volatility drops.
⚙️ How It Works:
🔹 Volatility Compression Detection:
Uses a relative ATR filter to detect when the market is in contraction.
Compares short-term range behavior to a longer-term average using a customizable multiplier.
Avoids standard band-width logic (like BB/KC), instead relying on raw candle volatility for more adaptive compression detection.
🔹 Breakout Confirmation Logic:
A breakout is confirmed only when all of the following align:
Strong Candle Body: Filters out indecision bars and ensures clear directional intent.
EMA Trend Structure: Fast EMA must be properly aligned with the slow EMA, and price must close beyond the fast EMA in the breakout direction.
Range Burst: Breakout candle must exceed historical range norms, confirming an actual volatility expansion—not a false breakout.
Each layer is required—no single condition is enough—creating a highly selective confirmation system that filters out noise.
🔹 Bias Persistence Mechanism:
Once a valid breakout is confirmed, the script activates a persistent directional bias (bullish or bearish).
The bias does not flip unless an opposing breakout confirms.
This eliminates premature resets and allows traders to hold trend alignment visually until true reversal conditions are met.
🎨 Visual Behavior:
📈 Band Calculations:
Bands are drawn using smoothed highs and lows, plus or minus a scaled ATR-based buffer.
They adjust dynamically to both price scale and volatility, expanding and contracting naturally with the market.
🎨 Band Coloring:
Green bands = Bullish breakout confirmed
Red bands = Bearish breakout confirmed
No color = Compression detected, but no directional breakout yet
These are not support/resistance levels. They are momentum flow visualizations, providing a clean, unobtrusive way to track trend phases post-compression.
💡 What Makes It Unique:
Multi-confirmation logic: Combines compression, candle strength, trend direction, and volatility surge into one system.
Bias memory: Maintains directional bias until structurally invalidated—not just until the next indecisive bar.
Volatility-scaled bands: Makes this system flexible across all assets and timeframes, without constant tweaking.
No lagging oscillators: Instead of using MACD/RSI, it reads real-time momentum through body-to-range relationships and EMA stacking.
Minimal input, maximum output: With only two adjustable inputs, the script remains simple to deploy while offering deep contextual information.
✅ How to Use It:
Add the indicator to any chart (15m and lower preferred).
Watch for band color changes:
Green = Bullish breakout phase
Red = Bearish breakout phase
Use band direction as a trend alignment filter.
Avoid trading against active bias unless part of a confirmed reversal setup.
Adjust the Input Multiplier to fine-tune compression strictness (lower = stricter, higher = more permissive).
This indicator is especially useful following periods of consolidation and works well when layered with structure, supply/demand zones, or volume overlays.
💎 Why It’s Worth Paying For
The FeraTrading Compression Flow v1 offers a uniquely structured approach to breakout detection. While most compression indicators only highlight low-volatility zones, this script confirms breakouts through confluence, activates persistent bias, and provides a visual flow overlay that dynamically adjusts to the market.
Key distinctions include:
A custom ATR-based compression filter that adapts to any asset
Breakout confirmation from price structure, EMAs, and body dominance
A bias persistence engine that filters out false flips and maintains trend visibility
Dynamic bands that scale based on both price and volatility—not just moving averages
This combination cannot be replicated with built-in indicators or open-source scripts. It reflects real trade experience, structural logic, and volatility awareness built into a visual format designed to reduce overtrading and improve signal trust.
✅ Compliance & Originality
This script was built entirely in-house using original logic. Every calculation—from compression detection to bias activation—is proprietary and coded from scratch. No open-source libraries or reused components are present. Band rendering, bias conditions, and signal architecture were designed specifically for this model. EMA's and ATR were used in filter logic, yet they are only 2 of many filters used, all of the others being fully custom built.
The script uses no external data sources and is built entirely on native Pine Script logic.
⚠️ Risk Disclaimer & Access Policy
This tool is a visual momentum and structure tracking overlay. It does not predict future price movement and should not be used in isolation to make trading decisions. Always apply proper risk management, position sizing, and market awareness.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
🔒 Why This Script Is Invite-Only and Closed-Source
The compression detection logic, multi-step breakout confirmation, and persistent bias engine represent proprietary intellectual property developed for high-clarity directional tracking.
Releasing this logic would expose the core detection methods to copycats and diminish its edge. Access is restricted to protect:
The custom compression logic
The confluence-based breakout filters
The bias state engine and dynamic band visualizations
Closed-source protection ensures this tool retains its uniqueness and value for serious traders.
Currency Volatility Index (CVI)This Currency Volatility Index (CVI) indicator aggregates the realized volatility of the eight “major” FX pairs into a single, tradable series—much like an FX-version of the VIX. Here’s what it does step by step:
Inputs & Settings
• Volatility Length (default 20 days): the lookback over which daily log-returns’ standard deviation is computed.
• Data Timeframe (default Daily): the resolution at which price data is fetched for each pair.
• Smoothing Length (default 5): the period of a simple moving average applied to the raw, averaged volatility (in %).
Pair-by-Pair Volatility Calculation
For each hard-coded symbol (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD, NZDUSD, EURGBP):
Pull the series of daily closes.
Compute the series of log-returns: ln(today’s close / yesterday’s close).
Calculate the standard deviation of those log-returns over your lookback.
Annualize it (×√252) to convert daily volatility into an annualized figure.
Aggregation
The eight annualized volatilities are averaged (equal weights).
The resulting number is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Smoothing & Plotting
A simple moving average over the aggregated volatility smooths out spikes.
The smoothed CVI (%) is plotted as a standalone line below price charts.
Visualization Aids
A small table in the top-right corner shows each pair’s current volatility in percent.
A dynamic label on the final bar prints the latest CVI value directly on the chart.
Why use it?
Gives a one-stop measure of overall FX market turbulence.
Helps you compare “quiet” vs. “volatile” regimes across currencies.
Out of the Noise Intraday Strategy with VWAP [YuL]This is my (naive) implementation of "Beat the Market An Effective Intraday Momentum Strategy for S&P500 ETF (SPY)" paper by Carlo Zarattini, Andrew Aziz, Andrea Barbon, so the credit goes to them.
It is supposed to run on SPY on 30-minute timeframe, there may be issues on other timeframes.
I've used settings that were used by the authors in the original paper to keep it close to the publication, but I understand that they are very aggressive and probably shouldn't be used like that.
Results are good, but not as good as they are stated in the paper (unsurprisingly?): returns are smaller and Sharpe is very low (which is actually weird given the returns and drawdown ratio), there are also margin calls if you enable margin check (and you should).
I have my own ideas of improvements which I will probably implement separately to keep this clean.
