Market Smith IndicatorsMarket Smith has a collection of tools that are useful for identifying stocks. On their charts they have a 21/50/200 day moving averages, high and low pivot points, a relative strength line, and a relative strength rating. This script contains indicators for the following:
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
High and Low pivot points
A Relative Strength line
A Relative Strength rating
21/50/200 Day Moving Averages
The 21/50/200 Day moving averages are simple moving averages. They are visible in any chart increment but to use them properly you need to set you charts to be by day. Labels will appear on the right of the lines to show that they are representative of 21/50/200 day moving averages.
High and Low pivot points
The High and Low pivot points are green for high pivot points and red for low points. They are show in the Market Smith style with the numbers simply above the pivot points.
Relative Strength line
The Relative Strength line is a line that shows the strength of the stock compared to the S&P 500. In this case we utilize the SPX ticker to compare the stock to. This line is almost identical to the Market Smith tool and is an excellent tool to determine how a stock is doing compared to the market. When movements in the stock and shown with sideways trending of the RS line that means that the stock is following the market. When a stock is outperforming the market the RS line will follow.
Relative Strength rating
Thank you to ©Fred6724 for the RS Rating inspiration. They wrote excellent open source code for a RS Rating comparable to Market Smith. As the RS Rating in Market Smith is not open source it is difficult to know exactly how it is being calculated. After simplifying Fred's code and building upon a few ideas I had I compared the RS Rating to multiple Market Smith Ratings. The rating is close but often off by multiple points. If there is anyone who has a better idea on how to get this rating or how to improve on the code please send me a PM or fork this project. This rating is a good indicator to see how a certain stock compares to other stocks in the market. In Market Smith they are able to utilize their database to compare it to all other stocks. Since we do not have access to the same tools we are only able to compare it to the percentage of stocks above the 200, 150, 100, 50, and 20 day moving average.
Using these tools together are a small fraction what make people like Bill O'neill and Jim Roppel so successful. I plan on updating the RS Rating as I continue to work on this project so if there is anyone who has ideas then please send me a PM. Ultimately the goal of this project is to have a solution that is identical to Market Smith.

RAINBOW AVERAGES - INDICATOR - (AS) - 1/3
-INTRODUCTION:
This is the first of three scripts I intend to publish using rainbow indicators. This script serves as a groundwork for the other two. It is a RAINBOW MOVING AVERAGES indicator primarily designed for trend detection. The upcoming script will also be an indicator but with overlay=false (below the chart, not on it) and will utilize RAINBOW BANDS and RAINBOW OSCILLATOR. The third script will be a strategy combining all of them.
RAINBOW moving averages can be used in various ways, but this script is mainly intended for trend analysis. It is meant to be used with overlay=true, but if the user wishes, it can be viewed below the chart. To achieve this, you need to change the code from overlay=true to false and turn off the first switch that plots the rainbow on the chart (or simply move the indicator to a new pane below). By doing this, you will be able to see how all four conditions used to detect trends work on the chart. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
-WHAT IS IT:
In its simplest form, this indicator uses 10 moving averages colored like a rainbow. The calculation is as follows:
MA0: This is the main moving average and can be defined with the type (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE), length, and price source. However, the second moving average (MA1) is calculated using MA0 as its source, MA2 uses MA1 as the data source, and so on, until the last one, MA9. Hence, there are 10 moving averages. The first moving average is special as all the others derive from it. This indicator has many potential uses, such as entry/exit signals, volatility indication, and stop-loss placement, but for now, we will focus on trend detection.
-TREND DETECTION:
The indicator offers four different background color options based on the user's preference:
0-NONE: No background color is applied as no trend detection tools is being used (boring)
1-CHANGE: The background color is determined by summing the changes of all 10 moving averages (from two bars). If the sum is positive and not falling, the background color is GREEN. If the sum is negative and not rising, the background color is RED. From early testing, it works well for the beginning of a movement but not so much for a lasting trend.
2-RAINBW: The background color is green when all the moving averages are in ascending order, indicating a bullish trend. It is red when all the moving averages are in descending order, indicating a bearish trend. For example, if MA1>MA2>MA3>MA4..., the background color is green. If MA1 threshold, and red indicates width < -threshold.
4-DIRECT: The background color is determined by counting the number of moving averages that are either above or below the input source. If the specified number of moving averages is above the source, the background color is green. If the specified number of moving averages is below the source, the background color is red. If all ten MAs are below the price source, the indicator will show 10, and if all ten MAs are above, it will show -10. The specific value will be set later in the settings (same for 3-TSHOLD variant). This method works well for lasting trends.
Note: If the indicator is turned into a below-chart version, all four color options can be seen as separate indicators.
-PARAMETERS - SETTINGS:
The first line is an on/off switch to plot the skittles indicator (and some info in the tooltip). The second line has already been discussed, which is the background color and the selection of the source (only used for MA0!).
The line "MA1: TYP/LEN" is where we define the parameters of MA0 (important). We choose from the types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE) and set the length.
Important Note: It says MA1, but it should be MA0!.
The next line defines whether we want to smooth MA1 (which is actually MA0) and the period for smoothing. When smoothing is turned on, MA0 will be smoothed using a 3-pole super smoother. It's worth noting that although this only applies to MA0, as the other MAs are derived from it, they will also be smoothed.
In the line below, we define the type and length of MAs for MA2 (and other MAs except MA0). The same type and length are used for MA1 to MA9. It's important to remember that these values should be smaller. For example, if we set 55, it means that MA1 is the average of 55 periods of MA0, MA2 will be 55 periods of MA1, and so on. I encourage trying different combinations of MA types as it can be easily adjusted for ur type of trading. RMA looks quirky.
Moving on to the last line, we define some inputs for the background color:
TSH: The threshold value when using 3-TSHOLD-BGC. It's a good idea to change the chart to a pane below for easier adjustment. The default values are based on EURUSD-5M.
BG_DIR: The value that must be crossed or equal to the MA score if using 4-DIRECT-BGC. There are 10 MAs, so the maximum value is also 10. For example, if you set it to 9, it means that at least 9 MAs must be below/above the price for the script to detect a trend. Higher values are recommended as most of the time, this indicator oscillates either around the maximum or minimum value.
-SUMMARY OF SETTINGS:
L1 - PLOT MAs and general info tooltip
L2 - Select the source for MA0 and type of trend detection.
L3 - Set the type and length of MA0 (important).
L4 - Turn smoothing on/off for MA0 and set the period for super smoothing.
L5 - Set the type and length for the rest of the MAs.
L6 - Set values if using 4-DIRECT or 3-TSHOLD for the trend detection.
-OTHERS:
To see trend indicators, you need to turn off the plotting of MAs (first line), and then choose the variant you want for the background color. This will plot it on the chart below.
Keep in mind that M1 int settings stands for MA0 and MA2 for all of the 9 MAs left.
Yes, it may seem more complicated than it actually is. In a nutshell, these are 10 MAs, and each one after MA0 uses the previous one as its source. Plus few conditions for range detection. rest is mainly plots and colors.
There are tooltips to help you with the parameters.
I hope this will be useful to someone. If you have any ideas, feedback, or spot errors in the code, LET ME KNOW.
Stay tuned for the remaining two scripts using skittles indicators and check out my other scripts.
-ALSO:
I'm always looking for ideas for interesting indicators and strategies that I could code, so if you don't know Pinescript, just message me, and I would be glad to write your own indicator/strategy for free, obviously.

Moving Average With Risk:Reward**Title: A Detailed Guide to Using the Moving Average With Risk:Reward Indicator**
The dynamic world of financial markets offers a myriad of opportunities for market participants to make profitable trades. However, to unlock these opportunities, traders require reliable tools to guide their decisions, tools such as technical indicators. One such indicator is the 'Moving Average With Risk:Reward' Indicator, a versatile tool that combines the simple moving average (SMA), exponential moving average (EMA), Average True Range (ATR) indicator, and automated entry, stop-loss, and take-profit markers to provide a comprehensive analysis of market trends. This article aims to detail the use and interpretation of this indicator.
**Understanding the Building Blocks**
1. **Moving Averages (SMA & EMA):**
Moving averages are arguably some of the most common tools used by traders worldwide. They help smooth out price data to form a trend following indicator. Our custom indicator utilizes both a 21-period SMA, which averages the closing prices of the past 21 periods, and a 9-period EMA, which gives more weight to recent prices. The difference in sensitivity between these two moving averages forms the basis of our trade signals.
2. **Average True Range (ATR):**
The ATR is an essential component of our indicator. It measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period. It plays a critical role in determining the stop loss and take profit levels in our indicator, as detailed later.
**How the Indicator Works**
Our custom indicator works by generating buy or sell signals based on crossover and crossunder events between the SMA and EMA. A crossover occurs when the EMA (more sensitive to recent prices) crosses above the SMA, indicating upward momentum and hence triggering a buy signal. Conversely, a crossunder, where the EMA moves below the SMA, indicates increasing downward momentum and generates a sell signal.
Upon the generation of a signal, the indicator draws lines on the chart to represent the entry point, stop loss, and take profit levels. The user has the freedom to adjust the color of these lines for visual clarity. The script will also delete previous lines whenever a new signal is generated to avoid clutter and confusion.
**Determining the Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels**
Our custom indicator uses the ATR and a predetermined multiplier to calculate stop loss and take profit levels, thus incorporating market volatility into these critical decisions. The user can input their preferred multiplier for both stop loss and take profit.
Stop Loss (SL): SL is set at a level that is the ATR value multiplied by the stop-loss multiplier subtracted from (for a long position) or added to (for a short position) the closing price.
Take Profit (TP): Conversely, TP is set at a level that is the ATR value multiplied by the take-profit multiplier added to (for a long position) or subtracted from (for a short position) the closing price.
These SL and TP levels get plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, extending to the right. Labels are also placed to easily identify these levels.
**Making the Most of the Indicator**
A significant advantage of this indicator lies in its simplicity and clarity. Traders can clearly see the entry point, stop loss, and take profit levels on the chart. They can modify these levels based on their risk tolerance or trading strategy.
The combination of SMA and EMA offers the best of both worlds, with SMA providing a lagging, stable trend indication and EMA offering a more responsive indication to recent price changes. The indicator's use of ATR for SL and TP settings also ensures that these levels adapt to changing market volatility.
It is essential to remember that while this indicator can be an invaluable tool in a trader's arsenal, it is not infallible. Markets can often behave unpredictably, and even the most robust and reliable indicators can occasionally generate false signals. Therefore, traders should always employ sound money management strategies and use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis to confirm signals and make informed trading decisions.
In conclusion, the Moving Average With Risk:Reward indicator provides a comprehensive and versatile tool that can significantly enhance trading strategies. Its integration of trend-following moving averages, volatility-adjusted stop loss and take profit levels, and clear chart visualizations make it a potent tool in the financial markets. By fully understanding how to interpret and utilize this indicator, traders can navigate the markets with increased confidence and precision.
Higher Fibonacci EMAOverall image:
If the closing price is higher than the three Fibonacci EMAs (uptrend):
Thanks to @ZenAndTheArtOfTrading and his indicator "Higher Timeframe EMA", URL =
This is a trend-discriminating indicator that uses 3 EMAs.
The Williams Alligator is the underlying philosophy, and we have applied it to capture the larger trend.
It is set up for the current time frame + 2 higher time frames.
One of the upper time legs has a daily EMA length of 13 Fibonacci numbers.
The top-level time leg has a weekly EMA with a length of 5 Fibonacci.
If the current closing price of the ticker leg is higher than these three EMAs, the bar color will be green. If it is lower, it will be red. If it is neither, it will be gray.
If the bar color is green, it suggests that the trend is upward. If it is red, you can consider entering short. If it is gray, it is best not to enter anything.
All in One EMA indicator with Average EMA Calculations The Indicator displays multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs) on the chart. The six available options will let you adjust and set ]exponential moving averages ( EMAS) as per your choice. Additionally I have added an Average ema which will calculate the average of all the emas that you have selected. This average ema works very strong and greatly to find potential zone of dynamic supports and resistance as well as to gauge the overall trend .. The average ema will also allow you to keep your chart clean and you wont have to add too many emas together.
The average of the selected EMAs are displayed as a single line. This helps identify trends and potential reversals in the market. i hope this indicator will help you with trading...
Plz use the chart BINANCE:LINKBTC as reference, for back testing and educational purposes only.
Thumbs up if you liked the script.
Happy trading..
EMA 08:00// Some traders prefer to start the charts at 8am in the morning.
// This chart setting is not possible as of today, but the following script lets you calculate ema for a defined time range.
// Right now it is set to include bars from 08:00 to 23:59, meaning that early pre market 04:00 to 07:59 is left out.
Disparity IndexThe Disparity Index is a technical momentum indicator that measures the relative position of the most recent closing price to a selected moving average. It calculates the percentage difference between the closing price and the moving average, providing insights into price momentum and potential reversals.
The formula for the Disparity Index is: * 100, where Close is the most recent closing price and n-period MA is the chosen moving average over n periods.
The Disparity Index can be used in various ways:
Trend Identification: The Disparity Index helps identify the relationship between the price and a chosen moving average. A positive value indicates that the price is above the moving average, suggesting bullish momentum, while a negative value suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and Oversold Conditions: The Disparity Index can be used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. When the index reaches an extremely high value, it may indicate an overbought condition, implying a possible price correction. Conversely, an extremely low value can signal an oversold condition, indicating a potential price rebound.
Divergence: Traders can use the Disparity Index to identify divergence between the price and the indicator. Divergence occurs when the price and the Disparity Index move in opposite directions, potentially signaling an upcoming price reversal.
Personal Strategy: When the Disparity Index generates a green background, it suggests a potential bullish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses above the oversold threshold or exhibits a bullish reversal pattern. The green background signifies an area where buyers may have gained control, indicating a favorable environment for initiating long positions. This approach allows you to capitalize on potential upward price movements and join the uptrend.
On the other hand, when the Disparity Index generates a red background, it implies a potential bearish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses below the overbought threshold or exhibits a bearish reversal pattern. The red background highlights a zone where sellers might dominate, indicating a higher likelihood of downward price movements. By considering selling opportunities in these zones, you can position yourself to profit from potential downside moves and align with the prevailing downtrend.
The Disparity Index can be customized by using different types of moving averages such as simple moving averages (SMAs), exponential moving averages (EMAs), or weighted moving averages (WMAs). Additionally, it can be smoothed using another moving average to reduce noise and generate smoother signals, improving trend identification.
In trending markets, the Disparity Index is particularly effective as a trend indicator due to its ability to quickly capture price changes. It can provide early indications of trend strength and potential reversals, allowing traders to enter or exit positions in a timely manner. This advantage over traditional moving averages makes the Disparity Index a valuable tool for trend-following strategies.

Advanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum IndexAdvanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Index (AVAMI)
The AVAMI is a powerful and versatile trading index which enhances the traditional momentum readings by introducing a volatility adjustment. This results in a more nuanced interpretation of market momentum, considering not only the rate of price changes but also the inherent volatility of the asset.
Settings and Parameters:
Momentum Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to calculate the momentum, which is essentially the rate of change of the asset's price. A shorter length value means the momentum calculation will be more sensitive to recent price changes. Conversely, a longer length will yield a smoother and more stabilized momentum value, thereby reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Volatility Length: This parameter is responsible for determining the number of periods to be considered in the calculation of standard deviation of returns, which acts as the volatility measure. A shorter length will result in a more reactive volatility measure, while a longer length will produce a more stable, but less sensitive measure of volatility.
Smoothing Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to apply a moving average smoothing to the AVAMI and its signal line. The purpose of this is to minimize the impact of volatile periods and to make the indicator's lines smoother and easier to interpret.
Lookback Period for Scaling: This is the number of periods used when rescaling the AVAMI values. The rescaling process is necessary to ensure that the AVAMI values remain within a consistent and interpretable range over time.
Overbought and Oversold Levels: These levels are thresholds at which the asset is considered overbought (potentially overvalued) or oversold (potentially undervalued), respectively. For instance, if the AVAMI exceeds the overbought level, traders may consider it as a possible selling opportunity, anticipating a price correction. Conversely, if the AVAMI falls below the oversold level, it could be seen as a buying opportunity, with the expectation of a price bounce.
Mid Level: This level represents the middle ground between the overbought and oversold levels. Crossing the mid-level line from below can be perceived as an increasing bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Show Divergences and Hidden Divergences: These checkboxes give traders the option to display regular and hidden divergences between the AVAMI and the asset's price. Divergences are crucial market structures that often signal potential price reversals.
Index Logic:
The AVAMI index begins with the calculation of a simple rate of change momentum indicator. This raw momentum is then adjusted by the standard deviation of log returns, which acts as a measure of market volatility. This adjustment process ensures that the resulting momentum index encapsulates not only the speed of price changes but also the market's volatility context.
The raw AVAMI is then smoothed using a moving average, and a signal line is generated as an exponential moving average (EMA) of this smoothed AVAMI. This signal line serves as a trigger for potential trading signals when crossed by the AVAMI.
The script also includes an algorithm to identify 'fractals', which are distinct price patterns that often act as potential market reversal points. These fractals are utilized to spot both regular and hidden divergences between the asset's price and the AVAMI.
Application and Strategy Concepts:
The AVAMI is a versatile tool that can be integrated into various trading strategies. Traders can utilize the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal points. The AVAMI crossing the mid-level line can signify a change in market momentum. Additionally, the identification of regular and hidden divergences can serve as potential trading signals:
Regular Divergence: This happens when the asset's price records a new high/low, but the AVAMI fails to follow suit, suggesting a possible trend reversal. For instance, if the asset's price forms a higher high but the AVAMI forms a lower high, it's a regular bearish divergence, indicating potential price downturn.
Hidden Divergence: This is observed when the price forms a lower high/higher low, but the AVAMI forms a higher high/lower low, suggesting the continuation of the prevailing trend. For example, if the price forms a lower low during a downtrend, but the AVAMI forms a higher low, it's a hidden bullish divergence, signaling the potential continuation of the downtrend.
As with any trading tool, the AVAMI should not be used in isolation but in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and within the context of a well-defined trading plan.
SMA mechanical swing tradeIndicator that compares the closing price of an asset vs a simple moving average as a mechanical swing trading strategy. It allows the user to set any asset and timeframe for the strategy, which can be different from those the user is currently viewing. The strategy also allows the user to set an upside and downside tolerance so that retests within a few % of the SMA get some space to breathe before flipping directional bias.
If the selected asset in the strategy is different from the one currently viewed, the indicator plots the MA for the currently viewed asset but keeps applying the directional bias colors from the strategy asset.
Some examples of recommended usage of this indicator: BTCUSD 120D, BTCUSD 120D applied on ETHUSD, AAVEUSD 365D.
Multi Kernel Regression [ChartPrime]The "Multi Kernel Regression" is a versatile trading indicator that provides graphical interpretations of market trends by using different kernel regression methods. It's beneficial because it smoothes out price data, creating a clearer picture of price movements, and can be tailored according to the user's preference with various options.
What makes this indicator uniquely versatile is the 'Kernel Select' feature, which allows you to choose from a variety of regression kernel types, such as Gaussian, Logistic, Cosine, and many more. In fact, you have 17 options in total, making this an adaptable tool for diverse market contexts.
The bandwidth input parameter directly affects the smoothness of the regression line. While a lower value will make the line more sensitive to price changes by sticking closely to the actual prices, a higher value will smooth out the line even further by placing more emphasis on distant prices.
It's worth noting that the indicator's 'Repaint' function, which re-estimates work according to the most recent data, is not a deficiency or a flaw. Instead, it’s a crucial part of its functionality, updating the regression line with the most recent data, ensuring the indicator measurements remain as accurate as possible. We have however included a non-repaint feature that provides fixed calculations, creating a steady line that does not change once it has been plotted, for a different perspective on market trends.
This indicator also allows you to customize the line color, style, and width, allowing you to seamlessly integrate it into your existing chart setup. With labels indicating potential market turn points, you can stay on top of significant price movements.
Repaint : Enabling this allows the estimator to repaint to maintain accuracy as new data comes in.
Kernel Select : This option allows you to select from an array of kernel types such as Triangular, Gaussian, Logistic, etc. Each kernel has a unique weight function which influences how the regression line is calculated.
Bandwidth : This input, a scalar value, controls the regression line's sensitivity towards the price changes. A lower value makes the regression line more sensitive (closer to price) and higher value makes it smoother.
Source : Here you denote which price the indicator should consider for calculation. Traditionally, this is set as the close price.
Deviation : Adjust this to change the distance of the channel from the regression line. Higher values widen the channel, lower values make it smaller.
Line Style : This provides options to adjust the visual style of the regression lines. Options include Solid, Dotted, and Dashed.
Labels : Enabling this introduces markers at points where the market direction switches. Adjust the label size to suit your preference.
Colors : Customize color schemes for bullish and bearish trends along with the text color to match your chart setup.
Kernel regression, the technique behind the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator, has a rich history rooted in the world of statistical analysis and machine learning.
The origins of kernel regression are linked to the work of Emanuel Parzen in the 1960s. He was a pioneer in the development of nonparametric statistics, a domain where kernel regression plays a critical role. Although originally developed for the field of probability, these methods quickly found application in various other scientific disciplines, notably in econometrics and finance.
Kernel regression became really popular in the 1980s and 1990s along with the rise of other nonparametric techniques, like local regression and spline smoothing. It was during this time that kernel regression methods were extensively studied and widely applied in the fields of machine learning and data science.
What makes the kernel regression ideal for various statistical tasks, including financial market analysis, is its flexibility. Unlike linear regression, which assumes a specific functional form for the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, kernel regression makes no such assumptions. It creates a smooth curve fit to the data, which makes it extremely useful in capturing complex relationships in data.
In the context of stock market analysis, kernel regression techniques came into use in the late 20th century as computational power improved and these techniques could be more easily applied. Since then, they have played a fundamental role in financial market modeling, market prediction, and the development of trading indicators, like the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator.
Today, the use of kernel regression has solidified its place in the world of trading and market analysis, being widely recognized as one of the most effective methods for capturing and visualizing market trends.
The Multi Kernel Regression Indicator is built upon kernel regression, a versatile statistical method pioneered by Emanuel Parzen in the 1960s and subsequently refined for financial market analysis. It provides a robust and flexible approach to capturing complex market data relationships.
This indicator is more than just a charting tool; it reflects the power of computational trading methods, combining statistical robustness with visual versatility. It's an invaluable asset for traders, capturing and interpreting complex market trends while integrating seamlessly into diverse trading scenarios.
In summary, the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator stands as a testament to kernel regression's historic legacy, modern computational power, and contemporary trading insight.
Webby's Tight IndicatorWebby's Tight Indicator is used to measure a securities volatility relative to itself over time. This is achieved by taking the average of three short term ATR's (average true range) and creating a ratio versus three longer term ATR's.
Mike Webster recently stated he is using the 3,5,8 for the short term ATR's and the 55,89,144 for the long term ATR's. All of the ATR lengths are part of the Fibonacci sequence.
The ratio of the ATR's is then calculated and plotted as a histogram with 0 representing the ATR's being equal. As a stocks short term ATR contracts the histogram will rise above 0 meaning volatility in the short term is contracting relative to long term volatility. On the other hand if the short ATR's are expanding versus the long term ATR's the histogram will fall below 0 and turn red, signifying short term volatility is greater than long term volatility.
The easy visualization of this indicator allows you to quickly see when a stock is in a tight range and could be ready for a potential breakout to the long side or breakdown to the short side.
In this example we see tight price action with a blue histogram followed by volatility to the upside coinciding with a breakout.
In this example we see volatility expanding as a stock continues to fall.
To help differentiate between trending contraction or expansion and just short term blips 5-day exponential moving average of the ratio is also plotted on the histogram and dynamically changes colors as it rises and falls.

Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum OscillatorThe Savitzky-Golay Filtered Chande Momentum Oscillator (SGCMO) is a modified version of the Chande Momentum Oscillator that functions as a powerful analytical tool, capable of detecting trends and mean reversals. By applying a Savitzky-Golay filter to the price data, the oscillator provides enhanced visualization and smoother readings. (credit to © anieri for the Savitzky-Golay filter code: www.tradingview.com)
Chande Momentum Oscillator
The Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) is a technical indicator developed by Tushar Chande. It measures the momentum of an asset's price movement and provides insights into the overbought or oversold conditions of the market. The CMO calculates the difference between the sum of positive price changes and the sum of negative price changes over a specified period, and then normalizes it to a scale between -100 and +100. Traders and investors use the CMO to identify potential trend reversals, confirm the strength of a current trend, and generate buy or sell signals.

The Savitzky-Golay filter is a digital filter commonly employed for smoothing and noise reduction in time-series data. In the context of the SGCMO, the aim is to effectively smooth the CMO values, reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations and providing clearer insights into underlying trends. Additionally, an exponential moving average (EMA) filter is applied to further reduce noise and enhance trend visibility. This filtered CMO indicator may provide traders and investors with a clearer and more refined representation of momentum changes in the underlying asset, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
Application
The SGCMO serves as both a trend-following and mean-reversion tool. Traders can track the current trend using bullish white lines or bearish orange lines in trending markets. Alternatively, they can utilize green and red vertical lines, which indicate price retracement and help capture pullbacks and reversals. Green vertical lines appear when the trend reverses upwards in an oversold zone (-50 to -80), while red vertical lines indicate negative trend reversals in an overbought zone (50 to 80). Opening long positions when green and white lines appear, or short positions when red and orange lines are visible, can be considered. However, it is advisable to combine this indicator with other complementary technical analysis tools and incorporate it into a comprehensive trading strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
ALMA Smoothed Gaussian Moving AverageThis indicator is an altered version of the Gaussian Moving Average (GMA) (Credit to author: © LeafAlgo ). The GMA applies weights to the prices, giving more importance to the values closer to the current period and gradually diminishing the significance of older prices. The ALMA Smoothed Gaussian Moving Average (ASGMA) applies an ALMA smoothing to its price data to minimize lag and provide a more accurate representation of the underlying trend by dynamically adapting to changing market conditions. The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) is a specialized smoothing technique that adjusts the weights of the moving average based on market volatility. Its calculation uses Wavelet Transform techniques which enables this type of smoothing to capture both high-frequency and low-frequency components of a signal or data. The rationale for this mashup between ALMA and Gaussian filtering is to smooth the moving average line over the smoothed price data and produce stronger trend signals.
ASGMA serves as a trend-following indicator, identifying both bullish and bearish trends. It provides buy and sell signals indicated by "B" and "S" labels plotted alongside the price data. Additionally, the ASGMA's Exponential Moving Average (EMA) line alternates between green and red, indicating bullish and bearish momentum, respectively.
The ASGMA also incorporates two popular momentum indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO). The inclusion of these indicators aims to enhance trend identification and reversal signals. For a strong buy signal, all three indicators (RSI, CMO, and ASGMA) must indicate bullish conditions, resulting in a vertical green line. Conversely, a vertical red line is plotted when all indicators indicate bearish conditions, representing a strong sell signal.
The ASGMA, with its unique combination of smoothing techniques and indicator amalgamation, provides traders and investors with powerful analytical tools. It can be applied in trend-following strategies using the regular buy and sell signals generated by labels and the EMA line. Alternatively, the vertical lines offer stronger buy and sell signals. These features aid in identifying potential entry and exit points, thereby enhancing trading decisions and market analysis. However, it is important to remember that the future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Webby's RS LineThe Relative Strength (RS) line is something many investors are familiar with. It is used to measure a stocks performance versus the S&P 500 and is typically calculated by dividing the closing price of the stock by the closing price of the S&P. This means if a stock moves up and the S&P moves down or the stock moves up more than the S&P the RS line will increase, if the stock moves down while the S&P moves up the line will decrease.
While the standard RS line is a powerful tool, Mike Webster recently discussed how he has made changes to the standard RS line and also uses a 21 exponential moving average of the RS line to help guide his decision making. This script puts those new twists on the standard RS line, by first calculating the RS line using the low of both the security and the S&P rather than the closing prices. Next it measures the 21-day exponential moving average of the RS line and plots the distance between the two as a histogram.
A strong trending stock that is out performing the market will see an extended period of a positive blue histogram signifying the RS line is above the 21-ema.
While on the other hand a stock in a downtrend that is underperforming will see a negative red histogram a red histogram signifying the RS line is below the 21-ema.
On top of all of that, the indicator also keeps 3 & 13 exponential moving average of the distance between the RS line and the 21 ema to help identify shorter term relative strength and capture more immediate shifts in momentum. Both of those are plotted on the histogram as well and will change color as they rise and fall making it easy to spot the direction.
Indicator options include:
Choose symbol to measure performance against
Change histogram colors
Choose ema line width
* Note this indicator does not plot the actual RS line, it is the histogram representing the distance between the RS line calculated using the lows and the 21 ema, as well as the two ema's of the relationship.
Bar Dependent Moving AverageImagine using an exercising strategy from a gym coach who retired 10 years ago as there dozens of other trainers who constantly try to adapt and find a better approach. You would be missing out.
It's the same with using fixed periods, you just look back.
How about an exercising strategy from a gym coach who is simultaneously trying to adapt himself?
How could you figure out a strategy that adapts with the market as the market is indirectly finding a better approach to take you out?
Relative Moving Averages simply speaking count the total amount of bars and divide it by the period for which you want to use the moving average. Instead of looking at the last X bars, it divides the total amount of bars / X as the moving average period.
It takes all bars into account, the entire chart history essentially turning it into an adaptive moving average, in the example mentioned above into an adaptive exercising strategy.
The Bar Dependent Moving Average Periods are 2,3,5,8 etc., i.e. the entire fibonacci sequence up to 4181.
The white line is the relative fibonacci moving average, which is calculated by adding all Fibonacci Bar Dependent Moving Averages with one another / by the total amount of fibonacci numbers used i.e. 18.
The bar-dependent fibonacci moving average is upon further investigation (on shorter timeframes <30m) a useful support/resistance indicator since the price tends to wick/consolidate or fully break through the fibonoacci bar dependent moving average.
If there are more than 5000 bars of Candlestick data enable the lock in the settings menu to limit the maximum last X bars back to 5000 to make it possible for Tradingview to run the script since Tradingview does not allow it to look more than 5000 bars back.
Webby's RSI 2.0Webby's RSI (Really Simple Indicator) 2.0 or version 5.150 as Mike himself calls it, builds upon the original Webby RSI by changing the way we measure extension from the 21-day exponential moving average.
Instead using the percentage of the low versus the 21-day exponential moving average, version 2 uses a multiple of the securities 50 day ATR (average true range) to determine the extension.
Version 2.0 also comes with some new additions, such as measuring the high vs 21-day exponential moving average when a security is below it, as well as an ATR extension from the 10-day simple moving average that Mike looks to as a guide to take partials.
Mark Minervini's Trend TemplateThe Mark Minervini Trend Template Indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify potential trends in the stock market.
Based on the renowned trading methodology developed by Mark Minervini, this indicator incorporates several key criteria to assist traders in making informed decisions.
The indicator checks the following criteria:
- Price above 50-day Moving Average (50MA):
The indicator confirms if the current price is trading above the 50-day moving average, indicating potential bullish momentum.
- Price above 150-day Moving Average (150MA):
The indicator verifies if the current price is above the 150-day moving average, suggesting a sustained upward trend.
Price above 200-day Moving Average (200MA): The indicator ensures that the current price remains higher than the 200-day moving average, indicating a strong bullish bias in the market.
- 50-day Moving Average (50MA) greater than 150-day Moving Average (150MA):
This criterion compares the 50-day moving average with the 150-day moving average and confirms if the shorter-term average is higher, signifying increasing short-term strength.
- 50-day Moving Average (50MA) greater than 200-day Moving Average (200MA):
This criterion compares the 50-day moving average with the 200-day moving average and validates if the shorter-term average is higher, indicating a potential bullish trend.
- 150-day Moving Average (150MA) greater than 200-day Moving Average (200MA):
This criterion compares the 150-day moving average with the 200-day moving average and confirms if the intermediate-term average is higher, suggesting a strengthening bullish trend.
- 200-day Moving Average (200MA) in Uptrend:
The indicator analyzes the slope of the 200-day moving average to determine if it is ascending, indicating a sustained bullish trend.
- Price within 25% of 52-week High:
The indicator assesses if the current price is trading within 25% of its 52-week high, potentially indicating a strong upward momentum and bullish sentiment.
- Price at least 25% above 52-week Low:
The indicator verifies if the current price is trading at least 25% above its 52-week low, suggesting resilience and potential bullish strength.
*Also, when you hover over the table cells, it shows the tooltip.
*By incorporating these criteria into your TradingView charts, the Mark Minervini Trend Template Indicator can help you identify potential bullish trends, enabling you to make more informed trading decisions.
*Please note that this indicator should be used to support your analysis and combined with additional technical and fundamental analysis for a comprehensive trading strategy.

PDMA + MA_Dist (%diff of 2 MA's + MA price distance)The PDMA + MA_Dist indicator is a powerful tool designed to analyze the relationship between two customizable moving averages (MAs) and the distance of a slow moving average from the price. It provides valuable insights into market trends and potential buying or selling opportunities.
This indicator calculates the percentage difference between the closing price and the fast moving average (MA). It also calculates the percentage difference between the closing price and the slow MA. Additionally, it calculates the percentage difference between the fast MA and the slow MA. These three metrics are then combined to form the final value of the indicator.
By plotting the PDMA + MA_Dist indicator on a chart, users can visualize the dynamics between the MAs and the price. The indicator helps identify periods of bullish or bearish sentiment in the market based on the position of the closing price relative to the MAs. It also highlights potential buying or selling signals when the final value crosses predefined buy or sell levels.
The PDMA + MA_Dist indicator offers a comprehensive perspective on market trends and price movements, assisting traders and investors in making informed decisions.
Dynamic Trend RipperThe "Dynamic Trend Ripper" indicator is designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on exponential moving averages (EMA) and the average true range (ATR). It aims to assist traders in identifying potential trading opportunities by visualizing dynamic support and resistance areas on the price chart. Think of it as more of overbought or oversold areas then true support and resistance,
The indicator calculates two sets of EMAs: two for the top cloud and two for the bottom cloud. The lengths of these EMAs are determined by user-defined input parameters. Additionally, the indicator uses the ATR to adjust the EMAs, enhancing their effectiveness as dynamic support and resistance levels.
The top cloud is formed by adding the ATR to the top fast EMA and subtracting the ATR from the top slow EMA. The bottom cloud is formed by subtracting the ATR from the bottom fast EMA and adding the ATR to the bottom slow EMA.
The indicator plots the dynamic OB (Overbought) level, which is the top fast EMA plus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. It also plots the dynamic OS (Oversold) level, which is the top slow EMA minus the ATR multiplied by the OBOS multiplier. These levels are visualized using colored lines on the chart.
The top fast EMA, top slow EMA, bottom fast EMA, and bottom slow EMA are also plotted on the chart. The area between the top slow EMA and top fast EMA is filled with a color, forming the top cloud. The area between the bottom fast EMA and bottom slow EMA is filled with another color, forming the bottom cloud. The color of the clouds changes based on the relationship between the top fast EMA and top slow EMA. If the Regular Fast EMA is greater than the Regular slow EMA, indicating a bullish trend, the clouds are displayed in green. Otherwise, if the top fast EMA is less than the top slow EMA, indicating a bearish trend, the clouds are displayed in red.
The indicator can be used to identify potential support and resistance zones where the price may encounter obstacles or reverse its direction. Traders can look for price interactions with the dynamic support and resistance levels, as well as the OB and OS levels, to make trading decisions. For example, a trader might consider entering a short trade when the price approaches the top cloud, or a long trade when the price bounces off the bottom cloud.
By incorporating the ATR, which measures volatility, the indicator adjusts the EMAs to adapt to changing market conditions. Traders can watch for price reactions or reversals near these levels to gauge potential overextension or exhaustion in the price movement. I'm not going to claim this as my own idea, but I will say that I came up with this version myself. I haven't seen anyone else take this approach which is why I think it can be revolutionary to trading.

Moving Average-TREND POWER v2.0-(AS)HELLO:
-This indicator is a waaaay simpler version of my other script - Moving Average-TREND POWER v1.1-(AS).
HOW DOES IT WORK:
-Script counts number of bars below or above selected Moving Average (u can se them by turning PLOT BARS on). Then multiplies number of bars by 0.01 and adds previous value. So in the uptrend indicator will be growing faster with every bar when price is above MA. When MA crosess price Value goes to zero so it shows when the market is ranging.
If Cross happens when number of bars is higher than Upper threshold or below Lower threshold indicator will go back to zero only if MA crosses with high in UPtrend and low in DNtrend. If cross happens inside THSs Value will be zero when MA crosses with any type of price source like for example (close,high,low,ohlc4,hl etc.....).This helps to get more crosess in side trend and less resets during a visible trend
HOW TO SET:
Just select what type of MA you want to use and Length. Then based on your preference set values of THSs'
OTHER INFORMATIONS:
-Script was created and tested on EURUSD 5M.
-For bigger trends choose slowerMAs and bigger periods and the other way around for short trends (FasterMAs/shorter periods)
-Below script code you can find not used formulas for calculating indicator value(thanks chat GPT), If you know some pinescript I encourage you to try try them or maybe bulid better ones. Script uses most basic one.
-Pls give me some feedback/ideas to improve and check out first version. Its way more complicated for no real reason but still worth to take a look'
-Also let me know if you find some logical errors in the code.
Enjoy and till we meet again.
Moving Average - TREND POWER v1.1- (AS)0)NOTE:
This is first version of this indicator. It's way more complicated than it should be. Check out Moving Average-TREND POWER v2.1-(AS), its waaaaay less complicated and might be better.Enjoy...
1)INTRODUCTION/MAIN IDEA:
In simpliest form this script is a trend indicator that rises if Moving average if below price or falling if above and going back to zero if there is a crossover with a price. To use this indicator you will have to adjust settings of MAs and choose conditions for calculation.
While using the indicator we might have to define CROSS types or which MAs to use. List of what cross types are defined in the script and Conditiones to choose from.The list will be below.
2) COMPOSITION:
-MA1 can be defined by user in settings, possible types: SMA, EMA, RMA, HMA, TEMA, DEMA, LSMA, WMA.
-MA2 is always ALMA
3) OVERLAY:
Default is false but if you want to see MA1/2 on chart you can change code to true and then turn on overlay in settings. Most plot settings are avalible only in OV=false.
if OV=true possible plots ->MA1/2, plotshape when choosen cross type
if OV=false -> main indicator,TSHs,Cross counter
4)PRESETS :
Indicator has three modes that can be selected in settings. First two are presets and do not require selecting conditions as they set be default.
-SIMPLE - most basic
-ABSOLUTE - shows only positive values when market is trending or zero when in range
-CUSTOM - main and the most advanced form that will require setting conditions to use in calculating trend
4.1)SIMPLE – this is the most basic form of conditions that uses only First MA. If MA1 is below selected source (High/Low(High for Uptrend and Low for DNtrend or OHLC4) on every bar value rises by 0.02. if it above Low or OHLC4 it falls by 0.02 with every bar. If there is a cross of MA with price value is zero. This preset uses CROSS_1_ULT(list of all cross types below)
4.2) ABSOLUTE – does not show direction of the trend unlike others and uses both MA1 and MA2. Uses CROSS type 123_ULT
4.3) CUSTOM – here we define conditions manually. This mode is defined in parts (5-8 of description)
5)SETTINGS:
SOURCE/OVERLAY(line1) – select source of calculation form MA1/MA2, select for overlay true (look point 3)
TRESHOLDS(line2). – set upper and lower THS, turn TSHs on/off
MA1(line3) – Length/type of MA/Offset(only if MA type is LSM)
MA2(line4) – length/offset/sigma -(remember to set ma in the way that in Uptrend MA2MA1 in DNtrend)
Use faster MA types for short term trends and slower types / bigger periods for longer term trends, defval MA1/2 settings
are pretty much random so using them is not recomended.
CROSSshape(line5) – choose which cross type you want to plot on chart(only in OV=true) or what type you want to use in counting via for loops,
CROSScount(line6) – set lookback for type of cross choosen above
BOOLs in lines 5 and 6 - plotshape if OV=true/plot CROSScount histogram (if OV=false)
Lines 7 and 8 – PRESET we want to use /SRC for calculation of indicator/are conditions described below/which MAs to use/Condition for
reducing value t 0 - (if PRESET is ABSOLUTE or SIMPLE only SRC should be set(Line 8 does not matter if not CUSTOM))
5)SOURCE for CONDS:
Here you can choose between H/L and OHLC. If H/L value grow when MAlow. If OHLC MAOHLC. H/L is set by default and recommended. This can be selected for all presets not only CUSTOM
6)CROSS types LIST:
“1 means MA1, 2 is MA2 and 3 I cross of MA1/MA2. L stands for low and H for high so for example 2H means cross of MA2 and high”
NAME -DEFINITION Number of possible crosses
1L - cross of MA1 and low 1
1H - cross of MA1 and high 1
1HL - cross of MA1 and low or MA1 and high 2 -1L/1H
2L - cross of MA2 and low 1
2H - cross of MA2 and high 1
2HL - cross of MA2 and low or MA1 and high 2 -2L/2H
12L - cross of MA1 and low or MA2 and low 2 -1L/2L
12H - cross of MA1 and high or MA2 and high 2 -1H/2H
12HL - MA1/2 and high/low 4 -1H/1L/2H/2L
3 -cross of MA1 and MA2 1
123HL -crosses from 12HL or 3 5 -12HL/3
1_ULT - cross of MA1 with any of price sources(close,low,high,ohlc4 etc…)
2_ULT - cross of MA2 with any of price sources(close,low,high,ohlc4 etc…)
123_ULT – all crosses possible of MA1/2 (all of the above so a lot)
7)CRS CONDS:
“conditions to reduce value back to zero”
>/< - 0 if indicator shows Uptrend and there’s a cross with high of selected MA or 0 if in DNtrend and cross with low. Better for UP/DN trend detection
ALL – 0 if cross of MA with high or low no matter the trend, better for detecting consolidation
ULT – if any cross of selected MA, most crosses so goes to 0 most often
8)MA selection and CONDS:
-MA1: only MA1 is used,if MA1 below price value grows and the other way around
MA1price =-0.02
-MA2 – only MA2 is used, same conditions as MA1 but using MA2
MA2price =-0.02
-BOTH – MA1 and MA2 used, grows when MA1 if below, grows faster if MA1 and MA2 are below and fastest when MA1 and MA2 are below and MA2price=-0.02
-MA1 and MA2 >price=-0.03
-MA1 and MA2 ?price and MA2>MA1=-0.04
9)CONDITIONS SELECTION SUMMARRY:
So when CUSTOM we choose :
1)SOURCE – H/L or OHLC
2)MAs – MA1/MA2/BOTH
3)CRS CONDS (>/<,ALL,ULT)
So for example...
if we take MA1 and ALL value will go to zero if 1HL
if MA1 and >/< - 0 if 1L or 1H (depending if value is positive or negative).(1L or 1H)
If ALL and BOTH zero when 12HL
If BOTH and ULT value goes back to zero if Theres any cross of MA1/MA2 with price or cross of MA1 and MA2.(123_ULT)
If >/< and BOTH – 0 if 12L in DNtrend or 12H if UPtrend
10) OTHERS
-script was created on EURUSD 5M and wasn't tested on different markets
-default values of MA1/MA2 aren't optimalized so do not
-There might be a logical error in the script so let me know if you find it (most probably in 'BOTH')
-thanks to @AlifeToMake for help
-if you have any ideas to improve let me know
-there are also tooltips to help
IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals)The IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals) is an Ichomoku-type indicator that can be used for various trading strategies. It's based on a ThinkScript study from @stephenharlinmd (aka nextSignals) that uses an instantaneous moving average as the base MA, and a custom trailing stop. Both of these components form the cloud.
Indicator Components and Calculation
The indicator comprises two key components:
Instantaneous Moving Average (IMA) : This is a type of moving average that places a greater weight on the most recent data points, and is based on Ehler's book "Rocket Science for Traders". This is slightly different from the Doc's original, but is very approximate.
Trailing Stop : This component helps determine the stop loss level that moves along with the price. The trailing stop is based on the highest high and the lowest low of the last 5 bars, as well as the simple moving averages of the low and high of the previous bar. The trailing stop is calculated separately for each condition: when the bar index is greater than 1 and when the previous 'a' variable is either 1 or 0.
These two components are used to create a filled area on the chart, also known as the 'cloud'. The color of the cloud and the candlesticks change based on the relative positions of the IMA and the trailing stop.
How to Use the Indicator
The following are just ideas on how to use this indicator, and is not financial advice in any form:
Trend Identification: When the IMA is above the trailing stop (cloud), it indicates an uptrend, and when it's below, it indicates a downtrend.
Entry/Exit Signals: Traders can consider going long when the candlesticks move above the cloud and short when they move below the cloud.
Stop Loss Level: The trailing stop line (the cloud's edge) can serve as a dynamic stop loss level.
Please don't use just this indicator on its own. Please use this in conjunction with other analysis tools, indicators, and systems you already have in place. Always consider the overall market context and use appropriate risk management strategies.
