Andean Regime Toolkit (Osc + Signals)

Andean Regime Toolkit (Osc + Signals) is a lightweight “pressure + regime” indicator built around the widely shared Andean-style idea of measuring bullish vs bearish price variation using exponential envelopes on price and squared price. The goal here isn’t to reinvent the concept — it’s to package it into an easy, practical toolkit you can actually use on a live chart, with clean visuals and optional on-chart helpers.

In the oscillator pane you’ll see three lines: Up Pressure, Down Pressure, and a Trigger line. Up/Down Pressure represent the strength of bullish vs bearish variation, while the Trigger (an EMA of the dominant pressure) helps filter out weaker/noisier conditions. A Bull regime is flagged when Up Pressure is above Down Pressure and also above the Trigger. A Bear regime is the opposite: Down Pressure above Up Pressure and above the Trigger. If neither side clears the Trigger, the script treats it as Neutral, which is handy for staying out of chop.

On the main chart you can optionally show confirmed-close regime markers (Bull/Bear Start and End). These markers are only confirmed at bar close to reduce intrabar flicker. If you want extra visual guidance, you can also enable optional candle coloring by regime and an optional HMA ribbon overlay (kept OFF by default so your published chart can stay clean).

This script is published open-source and focuses on clarity and usability rather than hype. It’s not a trading system or financial advice — just a regime/pressure lens you can combine with your own plan, risk management, and confirmation tools.
