Stochastic Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Stochastic Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Stochastic Enhanced indicator builds upon George Lane's classic momentum oscillator (developed in the late 1950s) by providing comprehensive smoothing algorithm flexibility. While traditional implementations limit users to Simple Moving Average (SMA) smoothing, this enhanced version offers 21 advanced smoothing algorithms, allowing traders to optimize the indicator's characteristics for different market conditions and trading styles.
Key Improvements:
Extended from single SMA smoothing to 21 professional-grade algorithms including adaptive filters (KAMA, FRAMA), zero-lag methods (ZLEMA, T3), and advanced digital filters (Kalman, Laguerre)
Maintains backward compatibility with traditional Stochastic calculations through SMA default setting
Unified smoothing algorithm applies to both %K and %D lines for consistent signal processing characteristics
Enhanced visual feedback with clear color distinction and background fill highlighting for intuitive signal recognition
Comprehensive alert system covering crossovers and zone entries for systematic trade management
Differentiation from Traditional Stochastic:
Traditional Stochastic indicators use fixed SMA smoothing, which introduces consistent lag regardless of market volatility. This enhanced version addresses the limitation by offering adaptive algorithms that adjust to market conditions (KAMA, FRAMA), reduce lag without sacrificing smoothness (ZLEMA, T3, HMA), or provide superior noise filtering (Kalman Filter, Laguerre filters). The flexibility helps traders balance responsiveness and stability according to their specific needs.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Stochastic Calculation:
The Stochastic Oscillator measures the position of the current close relative to the high-low range over a specified period:
Step 1: Raw %K Calculation
%K_raw = 100 × (Close - Lowest Low) / (Highest High - Lowest Low)
Where:
Close = Current closing price
Lowest Low = Lowest low over the %K Length period
Highest High = Highest high over the %K Length period
Result ranges from 0 (close at period low) to 100 (close at period high)
Step 2: Smoothed %K Calculation
%K = MA(%K_raw, K Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
MA = Selected moving average algorithm (SMA, EMA, etc.)
K Smoothing = 1 for Fast Stochastic, 3+ for Slow Stochastic
Traditional Fast Stochastic uses %K_raw directly without smoothing
Step 3: Signal Line %D Calculation
%D = MA(%K, D Smoothing Period, MA Type)
Where:
%D acts as a signal line and moving average of %K
D Smoothing typically set to 3 periods in traditional implementations
Both %K and %D use the same MA algorithm for consistent behavior
Available Smoothing Algorithms (21 Options):
Standard Moving Averages:
SMA (Simple): Equal-weighted average, traditional default, consistent lag characteristics
EMA (Exponential): Recent price emphasis, faster response to changes, exponential decay weighting
RMA (Rolling/Wilder's): Smoothed average used in RSI, less reactive than EMA
WMA (Weighted): Linear weighting favoring recent data, moderate responsiveness
VWMA (Volume-Weighted): Incorporates volume data, reflects market participation intensity
Advanced Moving Averages:
HMA (Hull): Reduced lag with smoothness, uses weighted moving averages and square root period
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux): Gaussian distribution weighting, minimal lag with good noise reduction
LSMA (Least Squares): Linear regression based, fits trend line to data points
DEMA (Double Exponential): Reduced lag compared to EMA, uses double smoothing technique
TEMA (Triple Exponential): Further lag reduction, triple smoothing with lag compensation
ZLEMA (Zero-Lag Exponential): Lag elimination attempt using error correction, very responsive
TMA (Triangular): Double-smoothed SMA, very smooth but slower response
Adaptive & Intelligent Filters:
T3 (Tilson T3): Six-pass exponential smoothing with volume factor adjustment, excellent smoothness

Super Smoother: Butterworth filter implementation, removes high-frequency noise effectively
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Absolute Level Interpretation (%K Line):
%K Above 80: Overbought condition, price near period high, potential reversal or pullback zone, caution for new long entries
%K in 70-80 Range: Strong upward momentum, bullish trend confirmation, uptrend likely continuing
%K in 50-70 Range: Moderate bullish momentum, neutral to positive outlook, consolidation or mild uptrend
%K in 30-50 Range: Moderate bearish momentum, neutral to negative outlook, consolidation or mild downtrend
%K in 20-30 Range: Strong downward momentum, bearish trend confirmation, downtrend likely continuing
%K Below 20: Oversold condition, price near period low, potential bounce or reversal zone, caution for new short entries
Crossover Signal Analysis:
%K Crosses Above %D (Bullish Cross): Momentum shifting bullish, faster line overtakes slower signal, consider long entry especially in oversold zone, strongest when occurring below 20 level
%K Crosses Below %D (Bearish Cross): Momentum shifting bearish, faster line falls below slower signal, consider short entry especially in overbought zone, strongest when occurring above 80 level
Crossover in Midrange (40-60): Less reliable signals, often in choppy sideways markets, require additional confirmation from trend or volume analysis
Multiple Failed Crosses: Indicates ranging market or choppy conditions, reduce position sizes or avoid trading until clear directional move
Advanced Divergence Patterns (%K Line vs Price):
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while %K makes higher low, indicates weakening bearish momentum, potential trend reversal upward, more reliable when %K in oversold zone
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while %K makes lower high, indicates weakening bullish momentum, potential trend reversal downward, more reliable when %K in overbought zone
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes higher low while %K makes lower low, indicates trend continuation in uptrend, bullish trend strength confirmation
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes lower high while %K makes higher high, indicates trend continuation in downtrend, bearish trend strength confirmation
Momentum Strength Analysis (%K Line Slope):
Steep %K Slope: Rapid momentum change, strong directional conviction, potential for extended moves but also increased reversal risk
Gradual %K Slope: Steady momentum development, sustainable trends more likely, lower probability of sharp reversals
Flat or Horizontal %K: Momentum stalling, potential reversal or consolidation ahead, wait for directional break before committing
%K Oscillation Within Range: Indicates ranging market, sideways price action, better suited for range-trading strategies than trend following
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Mean Reversion Strategy (Range-Bound Markets):
Identify ranging market conditions using price action or Bollinger Bands
Wait for Stochastic to reach extreme zones (above 80 for overbought, below 20 for oversold)
Enter counter-trend position when %K crosses %D in extreme zone (sell on bearish cross above 80, buy on bullish cross below 20)
Set profit targets near opposite extreme or midline (50 level)
Use tight stop-loss above recent swing high/low to protect against breakout scenarios
Exit when Stochastic reaches opposite extreme or %K crosses %D in opposite direction
Trend Following with Momentum Confirmation:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe analysis or moving averages
Wait for Stochastic pullback to oversold zone (<20) in uptrend or overbought zone (>80) in downtrend
Enter in trend direction when %K crosses %D confirming momentum shift (bullish cross in uptrend, bearish cross in downtrend)
Use wider stops to accommodate normal trend volatility
Add to position on subsequent pullbacks showing similar Stochastic pattern
Exit when Stochastic shows opposite extreme with failed cross or bearish/bullish divergence
Divergence-Based Reversal Strategy:
Scan for divergence between price and Stochastic at swing highs/lows
Confirm divergence with at least two price pivots showing divergent Stochastic readings
Wait for %K to cross %D in direction of anticipated reversal as entry trigger
Enter position in divergence direction with stop beyond recent swing extreme
Target profit at key support/resistance levels or Fibonacci retracements
Scale out as Stochastic reaches opposite extreme zone
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Alignment:
Analyze Stochastic on higher timeframe (4H or Daily) for primary trend bias
Switch to lower timeframe (1H or 15M) for precise entry timing
Only take trades where lower timeframe Stochastic signal aligns with higher timeframe momentum direction
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bullish zone (>50) = only take long entries on lower timeframe
Higher timeframe Stochastic in bearish zone (<50) = only take short entries on lower timeframe
Exit when lower timeframe shows counter-signal or higher timeframe momentum reverses
Zone Transition Strategy:
Monitor Stochastic for transitions between zones (oversold to neutral, neutral to overbought, etc.)
Enter long when Stochastic crosses above 20 (exiting oversold), signaling momentum shift from bearish to neutral/bullish
Enter short when Stochastic crosses below 80 (exiting overbought), signaling momentum shift from bullish to neutral/bearish
Use zone midpoint (50) as dynamic support/resistance for position management
Trail stops as Stochastic advances through favorable zones
Exit when Stochastic fails to maintain momentum and reverses back into prior zone

📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Responsiveness Characteristics:
Traditional SMA-Based Stochastic:
Fixed lag regardless of market conditions, consistent delay of approximately (K Smoothing + D Smoothing) / 2 periods
Equal treatment of trending and ranging markets, no adaptation to volatility changes
Predictable behavior but suboptimal in varying market regimes
Enhanced Version with Adaptive Algorithms:
KAMA and FRAMA reduce lag by up to 40-60% in strong trends compared to SMA while maintaining similar smoothness in ranges
ZLEMA and T3 provide near-zero lag characteristics for early entry signals with acceptable noise levels
Kalman Filter and Super Smoother offer superior noise rejection, reducing false signals in choppy conditions by estimations of 30-50% compared to SMA
Performance improvements vary by algorithm selection and market conditions
Signal Quality Improvements:
Adaptive algorithms help reduce whipsaw trades in ranging markets by adjusting sensitivity dynamically
Advanced filters (Kalman, Laguerre, Super Smoother) provide clearer extreme zone readings for mean reversion strategies
Zero-lag methods (ZLEMA, DEMA, TEMA) generate earlier crossover signals in trending markets for improved entry timing
Smoother algorithms (T3, Laguerre Binomial) reduce false extreme zone touches for more reliable overbought/oversold signals
Comparison with Standard Implementations:
Versus Basic Stochastic: Enhanced version offers 21 smoothing options versus single SMA, allowing optimization for specific market characteristics and trading styles
Versus RSI: Stochastic provides range-bound measurement (0-100) with clear extreme zones, RSI measures momentum speed, Stochastic offers clearer visual overbought/oversold identification
Versus MACD: Stochastic bounded oscillator suitable for mean reversion, MACD unbounded indicator better for trend strength, Stochastic excels in range-bound and oscillating markets
Versus CCI: Stochastic has fixed bounds (0-100) for consistent interpretation, CCI unbounded with variable extremes, Stochastic provides more standardized extreme readings across different instruments
Flexibility Advantages:
Single indicator adaptable to multiple strategies through algorithm selection rather than requiring different indicator variants
Ability to optimize smoothing characteristics for specific instruments (e.g., smoother for crypto volatility, faster for forex trends)
Multi-timeframe analysis with consistent algorithm across timeframes for coherent momentum picture
Backtesting capability with algorithm as optimization parameter for strategy development
Limitations and Considerations:
Increased complexity from multiple algorithm choices may lead to over-optimization if parameters are curve-fitted to historical data
Adaptive algorithms (KAMA, FRAMA) have adjustment periods during market regime changes where signals may be less reliable
Zero-lag algorithms sacrifice some smoothness for responsiveness, potentially increasing noise sensitivity in very choppy conditions
Performance characteristics vary significantly across algorithms, requiring understanding and testing before live implementation
Like all oscillators, Stochastic can remain in extreme zones for extended periods during strong trends, generating premature reversal signals
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to provide traders with enhanced flexibility in momentum analysis. The Stochastic Oscillator has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
Algorithm performance varies with market conditions - no single smoothing method is optimal for all scenarios
Extreme zone signals (overbought/oversold) indicate potential reversal areas but not guaranteed turning points, especially in strong trends
Crossover signals may generate false entries during sideways choppy markets regardless of smoothing algorithm
Divergence patterns require confirmation from price action or additional indicators before trading
Past indicator characteristics and backtested results do not guarantee future performance
Always combine Stochastic analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and multi-indicator confirmation
Test selected algorithm on historical data of specific instrument and timeframe before live trading
Market regime changes may require algorithm adjustment for optimal performance
The enhanced smoothing options are intended to provide tools for optimizing the indicator's behavior to match individual trading styles and market characteristics, not to create a perfect predictive tool. Responsible usage includes understanding the mathematical properties of selected algorithms and their appropriate application contexts.

Reversal Probability Meter PRO [optimized for Xau/Usd m5]🎯 Reversal Probability Meter PRO
A powerful multi-factor reversal probability detector that calculates the likelihood of bullish or bearish reversals using RSI, EMA bias, ATR spikes, candle patterns, volume spikes, and higher timeframe (HTF) trend alignment.
🧩 MAIN FEATURES
1. Reversal Probability (Bullish & Bearish)
Displays two key metrics:
Bull % — probability of bullish reversal
Bear % — probability of bearish reversal
These are computed using RSI, EMAs, ATR, demand/supply zones, candle confirmations, and volume spikes.
📊 Interpretation:
Bull % > 70% → Buying pressure building up
Bull % > 85% → Strong bullish reversal confirmed
Bear % > 70% → Selling pressure building up
Bear % > 85% → Strong bearish reversal confirmed
2. Alert Probability Threshold
Adjustable via alertThreshold (default = 85%).
Alerts trigger only when probability ≥ threshold, and confirmed by zone + volume spike + candle pattern.
🔔 Alerts Available:
✅ Bullish Smart Reversal
🔻 Bearish Smart Reversal
To activate: Right-click chart → “Add alert” → choose the alert condition from the indicator.
3. Demand / Supply Zone Detection
The script determines the price position within the last zoneLook (default 30) bars:
🟢 DEMAND → Lower 35% of range (potential bounce zone)
🔴 SUPPLY → Upper 35% of range (potential rejection zone)
⚪ MID → Neutral area
📘 Purpose: Validates reversals based on context:
Bullish only valid in Demand zones
Bearish only valid in Supply zones
4. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Alignment
Reads EMA bias from a higher timeframe (default = 15m) for trend confirmation.
Reversals against HTF trend are automatically weighted down prevents false countertrend signals.
📈 Example:
M5 chart under M15 downtrend → Bullish probability is reduced.
5. Candle Confirmation Patterns
Two key price action confirmations:
Bullish: Engulfing or Pin Bar
Bearish: Engulfing or Pin Bar
A valid reversal requires both a candle confirmation and a volume spike.
6. Volume & ATR Spike Filters
Volume Spike: volume > SMA(20) × 1.3
ATR Spike: ATR > SMA(ATR, 50) × volMult
🎯 Ensures that only strong market moves with real energy are considered valid reversals.
7. Reversal Momentum Histogram
A color-gradient oscillator showing the momentum difference:
Green = bullish dominance
Red = bearish dominance

ADX - Globx Options & Futures 2.0The ADX Globx Options & Futures is a custom-built trend strength indicator designed to replicate and enhance the classic Average Directional Index (ADX) model, commonly used in professional trading platforms such as IQ Option.
This version is optimized for options and futures trading, providing precise directional strength readings through adaptive smoothing and configurable parameters.
Concept and Logic
This indicator measures the strength of the current trend, regardless of its direction (bullish or bearish), by comparing directional movement between price highs and lows over a defined period.
It uses three main components:
+DI (Positive Directional Indicator): represents bullish strength.
–DI (Negative Directional Indicator): represents bearish strength.
ADX (Average Directional Index): measures the intensity of the prevailing trend, independent of direction.
The script follows the original logic proposed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., but introduces enhanced smoothing flexibility.
Users can choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and Wilder’s RMA (Running Moving Average) for both DI and ADX calculations, allowing closer alignment with various platform implementations (IQ Option, MetaTrader, etc.).
How It Works
Directional Movement Calculation
The script computes upward and downward movements (+DM and –DM) by comparing the differences in highs and lows between consecutive candles.
Only positive directional changes that exceed the opposite side are considered.
This ensures each bar contributes only one valid directional movement.
True Range and Smoothing
The True Range (TR) is calculated using ta.tr(true) to include price gaps—replicating how professional derivatives platforms account for volatility jumps.
Both TR and DM values are smoothed using the selected averaging method (EMA or Wilder).
Directional Index and ADX
The smoothed +DI and –DI values are normalized over the True Range to form the Directional Index (DX), which measures the percentage difference between the two.
The ADX is then derived by smoothing the DX values, providing a stable reading of overall market strength.
Visual Representation
The ADX (white line) indicates the overall trend strength.
The +DI (dark blue) and –DI (dark red) lines show which side (bullish or bearish) is currently dominant.
Reference levels at 20 and 25 serve as strength thresholds:
Below 20 → Weak or sideways market.
Above 25 → Strong and directional trend.
Usage and Interpretation
When ADX rises above 25, the market shows a strong trend — use +DI > –DI for bullish confirmation, or the opposite for bearish momentum.
A falling ADX suggests decreasing trend strength and potential consolidation.
The default parameters (ADX Length = 34, DI Length = 34, both smoothed by EMA) match IQ Option’s internal ADX configuration, ensuring consistency between platforms.
Works on any timeframe or asset class, but is especially tuned for futures and options volatility dynamics.
Originality and Improvements
Unlike many open-source ADX indicators, this version:
Recreates IQ Option’s 34-length EMA-based ADX calculation with exact parameter alignment.
Provides selectable smoothing algorithms (EMA or Wilder) to switch between modern and classic formulations.
Uses dark-theme-optimized visuals with fine line weight and subtle contrast for clean visibility.
Maintains constant guide levels (20/25) rendered globally for precision and style compliance in Pine Script v6.
Is fully rewritten for Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility and optimized execution.
Recommended Use
Combine with trend-following systems or breakout strategies.
Ideal for identifying market strength before engaging in options directionals or futures entries.
Use the ADX to confirm breakout momentum or filter sideways markets.
Disclaimer
This script is for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute financial advice or a trading signal. Users are encouraged to validate the indicator within their own trading strategies and risk frameworks.
MTF RSI Heatmap)# MTF RSI Heatmap — v2.7.2
**Hybrid Higher-TF Trend + Intraday Impulse Detection + Smart Counters & Alerts**
Turn your lower pane into a **multi-timeframe market bias dashboard**. This heatmap blends classic RSI momentum with a **hybrid Daily/Weekly MA-stack trend** and an **intraday impulse override** that flags fast moves *as they happen*. Clean, configurable, and built for real trading flow.
---
## What it shows
* **6 stacked rows = 6 timeframes** (bottom → top).
* **Colors**: Green = Bull, Red = Bear, Yellow = Neutral.
* **Header counter**: `Bull X/6 | Bear Y/6` = live agreement across visible rows.
* **Impulse markers** ▲/▼ on intraday rows (5m/15m/60m/240m) when a shock move triggers.
* **Signal bar**: A thin column above the top row when at least **N of 6** rows align (configurable).
---
## Why it’s different
* **Impulse Override (intraday)**
Detects sharp moves using % change over the last *N* bars, optionally gated by **volume > SMA × multiplier**. This catches dumps/pops earlier than RSI alone.
* **Hybrid D/W (structure over noise)**
Daily/Weekly rows can use an **MA stack (8/21/55)** instead of RSI for a more stable higher-timeframe trend read. Optional **price > fast MA** filter for stricter confirmation.
* **Intrabar option**
Flip rows **during the bar** for early reads (accepting repaint on TF close), or keep it close-only for no surprises.
---
## Key features
* 🌈 **Theme**: Classic or High-Contrast colors.
* 🧠 **RSI thresholds**: Bull above 55, Bear below 45 (editable).
* 🧲 **RSI smoothing** (EMA) for intraday rows to reduce flicker.
* 🧰 **Compact left legend** with adjustable text size & opacity.
* 🚨 **Alerts**:
* **Impulse-only** (per TF and “any intraday”)
* **N-of-6 confirmation** (bull/bear)
---
## Recommended settings (fast opens & news)
* **Impulse**: `Bars = 1–2`, `Threshold = 0.25–0.35%`, `Vol confirm = ON`, `Multiplier = 1.3–1.5`.
* **Hybrid D/W**: `ON`, `EMA 8/21/55`, `Price filter = ON`.
* **Intrabar**: `ON` if you want intra-bar updates (repaints at TF close).
---
## How to read it
1. **Row scan**: Are the bottom (fast) rows aligning first? That’s early momentum.
2. **Header counter**: Look for 4+/6 agreement as momentum broadens.
3. **Signal bar**: Acts as a “go/no-go” confirmation when your threshold is met.
4. **Impulse ▲/▼**: Use as a **heads-up** for acceleration; then watch if rows cascade in that direction.
---
## Alerts (exact names)
Create alerts with these built-ins:
* **Impulse UP — any intraday**
* **Impulse DOWN — any intraday**
* **Impulse UP — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Impulse DOWN — TF1 / TF2 / TF3 / TF4**
* **Bull confirmation** (N-of-6)
* **Bear confirmation** (N-of-6)
Tip: Use **Once per bar** or **Once per bar close** depending on whether you enabled *Intrabar*.
---
## Inputs overview
* **Timeframes & visibility** per row.
* **RSI**: length, bull/bear thresholds, optional EMA smoothing (intraday only).
* **Impulse**: bars, %, volume confirm, SMA length, multiplier, markers.
* **Hybrid D/W**: MA type (EMA/SMA/HMA), 8/21/55 lengths, price filter.
* **Theme & Legend**: color theme, label size (Tiny/Small/Normal), legend opacity.
* **Signal**: N required for confirmation (default 4).
---
## Pro tips
* Combine with **session opens**, **VWAP**, and **liquidity levels**.
* If you trade breakouts, let **impulse triggers** cue attention, then wait for **N-of-6** confirmation.
* For swing bias, lean on **Hybrid D/W**—it changes slower, but with intent.
---
## Notes & limitations
* **Intrabar = repaint expected** on higher-TF closes—by design for earlier context.
* Colors/thresholds are general guidance, not signals by themselves.
* Past performance ≠ future results; **this is not financial advice**.

RSI Bars - OnlyFlowThis indicator applies the RSI (Relative Strength Index) to candle coloring so that bar colors reflect momentum conditions instead of a fixed scheme.
RSI Logic: Bars shift color when RSI values move into overbought or oversold regions, with intensity scaled by how far RSI extends beyond the thresholds.
Gradient / Step Mode: Choose between a smooth gradient or a 3-step palette to visualize strength.
Directional Neutral Colors: Neutral zones can follow candle direction for clearer trend context.
Customization: Overbought/oversold levels and color palettes are user-configurable.
Optional RSI Panel: An RSI plot with overbought/oversold lines can be enabled in a separate pane if desired.
This tool is meant to give traders a more intuitive view of RSI conditions directly on price bars, helping to quickly see momentum extremes without needing to glance away from the chart.
Relative Strength index 2xRelative Strength Index 2×
The RSI*2 by AZly is an advanced dual-RSI indicator that allows traders to analyze momentum from two distinct perspectives — short-term and medium-term — on a single chart. It combines RSI precision with multi-timeframe flexibility, giving a clear view of both immediate and underlying momentum trends.
⚙️ How It Works
This indicator calculates and plots two fully independent RSI lines, each with customizable settings:
RSI 1 (Main RSI) : Captures medium-term momentum, ideal for trend and context.
RSI 2 (Fast RSI) : Reacts quickly to short-term moves, identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Both RSIs include:
Custom timeframe, source, and smoothing method (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, SMMA).
Gradient zones to visualize momentum strength and reversals.
Adjustable levels and colors for clear chart presentation.
📘 Andrew Cardwell Zones (RSI 1)
RSI 1 uses Andrew Cardwell’s “range rules” to distinguish bullish and bearish momentum phases:
Bullish Range: RSI holds between 40–80, finding support around 40–45.
Bearish Range: RSI stays between 20–60, with rallies capped near 55–60.
A breakout from one range into another often signals a trend phase transition — marking potential trend beginnings or endings.
⚡ Overbought/Oversold Zones (RSI 2)
RSI 2 is designed for fast reactions and reversal detection:
95–100: Extreme overbought zone — potential exhaustion and short setup.
5–0: Extreme oversold zone — potential exhaustion and long setup.
Crossing these levels highlights short-term momentum exhaustion , often preceding pullbacks or strong price reversals.
💡 Why It’s Better
Compared to traditional RSI indicators, this version provides superior control and insight:
Dual independent RSIs with separate timeframes and smoothing.
Cardwell-style range recognition for better context of trend strength.
Extreme bands for fast RSI 2 to time entries with precision.
Dynamic gradient zones for intuitive visual interpretation.
Multi-timeframe flexibility that adapts to any trading style.
🎯 Trading Concepts
Trend Confirmation:
RSI 1 above 50 (bullish range) confirms uptrend bias; below 50 (bearish range) confirms downtrend.
Reversal Setup:
RSI 2 hitting extreme zones (above 95 or below 5) while RSI 1 stays steady often signals exhaustion and reversal setups.
Divergence Confirmation:
When RSI 2 diverges from price and RSI 1 supports the direction, it strengthens reversal probability.
Range Transition:
A shift in RSI 1’s range (from bearish to bullish or vice versa) confirms a major change in market structure.
🕒 Trade Timing (Entry Ideas)
Timing is one of the indicator’s strongest features.
Wait for RSI 2 to reach an extreme zone (above 95 or below 5).
Then confirm the direction with RSI 1 — trades are most effective when RSI 1’s range aligns with the anticipated move.
Buy Setup:
RSI 1 in bullish range + RSI 2 rebounds upward from the 5 zone.
Sell Setup:
RSI 1 in bearish range + RSI 2 turns down from the 95 zone.
Best Timing:
Enter when RSI 2 crosses back inside the 10–90 range in the same direction as RSI 1’s trend.
This captures momentum just as it resumes — avoiding early or late entries.
🔷 M & W Patterns (RSI 2)
RSI 2 also reveals short-term exhaustion structures:
“ M ” Formation: Two RSI peaks near 95–100 — bearish reversal setup.
“ W ” Formation: Two RSI troughs near 0–5 — bullish reversal setup.
These shapes often appear before price reversals, offering early momentum clues.
⚠️ Important Trading Guidance
It is strongly recommended not to trade against the prevailing trend or attempt to pick exact tops or bottoms. The indicator works best when used in alignment with trend direction. Counter-trend entries carry higher risk and lower probability.
📊 Recommended Use
Ideal for momentum traders, scalpers, and multi-timeframe analysts seeking precise timing and context. Works on all markets — forex, crypto, stocks, indexes, and commodities.
Momentum Variance OscillatorWhat MVO measures:
-PV (Price-Volume) Oscillator – how far price is from a volatility-scaled basis, then weighted by relative volume.
- > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish pressure.
-|PV| larger ⇒ stronger momentum.
-Signal line (EMA of PV) – a smoother track of PV; crossings flag momentum shifts.
-Zero line gradient – instantly shows direction (greenish bull / reddish bear) and strength (paler → stronger).
-Extreme bands (±obLevel) – “hot zone” thresholds; being beyond them = exceptional push.
-Variance histogram – MACD-like view (PV minus slower PV-EMA) to see thrust building vs. fading.
-(Optional) Bar coloring & background tint – paints price bars and/or the panel on key events so you can read the regime at a glance.
-Auto-Tune – searches a grid of (obLevel, weakLvl) pairs and (optionally) auto-applies the best, ranked by CAGR vs. drawdown.
Core signals & how to trade them:
1) Define the regime:
-Bullish regime: PV above 0 and/or PV above Signal; zero line is in bull gradient.
-Bearish regime: PV below 0 and/or PV below Signal; zero line is in bear gradient.
-Action: Prefer trades with the regime (avoid fading strong color/strength unless you have a clear reversal setup).
2) Entries:
Momentum entry:
-Long: PV crosses above Signal while PV > 0.
-Short: PV crosses below Signal while PV < 0.
Breakout/acceleration:
-Long add-on: PV crosses above +obLevel (extreme top) and holds.
-Short add-on: PV crosses below −obLevel (extreme bottom) and holds.
-Histogram confirm: Growing bars in your direction = thrust improving; shrinking/flip = thrust stalling.
3) Exits / risk:
-Soft exit / tighten stops: PV loses the extreme and re-enters inside, or histogram fades/turns against you.
-Hard exit / reverse: Opposite PV↔Signal crossover and PV crosses the zero line.
-Weak zone filter: If |PV| < weakLvl, treat signals as lower quality (smaller size or skip).
4) Practical setup - Suggested defaults (good starting point):
-Signal length: 26
-Volume power: 0.50
-obLevel (extreme): 2.00
-weakLvl: 0.75
-Show histogram & dots: On
-Auto-Tune (recommended)
-Turn Auto-Select Best ON. MVO will scan obLevel 1.50→3.00 (step 0.05) and weakLvl 0.50→1.00 (step 0.05), then use the top-ranked pair (CAGR/(1+MDD)).
-If you want to see the top combos, enable the Optimizer Table (Top-3).
5) Visual options
-Bar Colors: Regime+Strength – bars follow the zero-line gradient (great for quick read).
-Extremes – paint only when beyond ±obLevel.
-Cross Signals – paint only on the bar that crosses an extreme.
-Background on breach: A one-bar tint when PV crosses an extreme.
6) Example playbook:
Long setup:
-Zero line shows bull gradient and PV > 0.
-PV crosses above Signal (entry).
-If PV drives above +obLevel, consider add-on; trail under the last minor swing or use ATR.
-Exit/trim on PV crossing below Signal or histogram turning negative; flatten on a drop through 0.
Short setup mirrors the above on the bear side.
7) Tips to avoid common traps:
-Don’t fade strong extremes without clear confirmation (e.g., PV re-entering inside + histogram flip).
-Respect the weak zone: if |PV| < weakLvl, signals are fragile—size down or wait.
-Align with structure: higher-timeframe trend and SR improve expectancy.
-Instrument personality matters: use Auto-Tune or re-calibrate obLevel/weakLvl across assets/timeframes.
8) Alerts you can set:
-Bull Signal X – PV crossed above Signal
-Bear Signal X – PV crossed below Signal
-Bull Baseline X – PV crossed above 0
-Bear Baseline X – PV crossed below 0

FirstStrike Long 200 - Daily Trend Rider [KedArc Quant]Strategy Description
FirstStrike Long 200 is a disciplined, long-only momentum strategy designed for daily "strike-first" entries in trending markets. It scans for RSI momentum above a customizable trigger (default 50), confirmed by EMA trend filters, and limits you to *exactly one trade per day* to avoid overtrading. It uses ATR for dynamic risk management (1.5x stop, 2:1 RR target) and optional trailing stops to ride winners. Backtested with realistic commissions and sizing, it prioritizes low drawdowns (<1% max in tests) over aggressive gains—ideal for swing traders seeking quality setups in bull runs.
Why It's Different from Other Strategies
Unlike generic RSI crossover bots or EMA ribbon mashups that spam signals and bleed in chop, FirstStrike enforces a "one-and-done" daily gate, blending precision momentum (RSI modes with grace/sustain) with robust filters (volume, sessions, rearm dips).
How It Helps Traders
- Reduces Emotional Trading: One entry/day forces discipline—miss a setup? Wait for tomorrow. Perfect for busy pros avoiding screen fatigue.
- Adapts to Regimes: Switch modes for trends ("Cross+Grace") vs. ranges ("Any bar")—boosts win rates 5-10% in backtests on high-beta names like .
- Risk-First Design: ATR scales stops to vol capping DD at 0.2% while targeting 2R winners. Trailing option locks +3-5% runs without early exits.
- Quick Insights: Labels/alerts flag entries with RSI values; bgcolor highlights signals for visual scanning. Helps spot "first-strike" edges in uptrends, filtering ~60% noise.
Why This Is Not a Mashup
This isn't a Frankenstein of off-the-shelf indicators—while it uses standard RSI/EMA/ATR (core Pine primitives), the innovation lies in:
- Custom Trigger Engine: Switchable modes (e.g., "Cross+Grace+Sustain" requires post-cross hold) prevent perpetual signals, unlike basic `ta.crossover()`.
- Daily Rearm Gate: Resets eligibility only after a dip (if enabled), tying momentum to mean-reversion—original logic not found in common scripts.
- Per-Day Isolation: `var` vars + `ta.change(time("D"))` ensure zero pyramiding/overlaps, beyond simple session filters.
All formulae are derived in-house for "first-strike" (early RSI pops in trends), not copied from public repos.
Input Configurations
Let's break down every input in the FirstStrike Long 200 strategy. These settings let you tweak the strategy like a dashboard—start with defaults for quick testing,
then adjust based on your asset or timeframe (5m for intraday). They're grouped logically to keep things organized, and most have tooltips in the script for quick reminders.
RSI / Trigger Group: The Heart of Momentum Detection
This is where the magic starts—the strategy hunts for "upward energy" using RSI (Relative Strength Index), a tool that measures if a stock is overbought (too hot) or oversold (too cold) on a 0-100 scale.
- RSI Length: How many bars (candles) back to calculate RSI. Default is 14, like a 14-day window for daily charts. Shorter (e.g., 9) makes it snappier for fast markets; longer (21) smooths out noise but misses quick turns.
- Trigger Level (RSI >= this): The key RSI value where the strategy says, "Go time!" Default 50 means enter when RSI crosses or holds above the neutral midline. Why is this trigger required? It acts as your "green light" filter—without it, you'd enter on every tiny price wiggle, leading to endless losers. RSI above this shows building buyer power, avoiding weak or sideways moves. It's essential for quality over quantity, especially in one-trade-per-day setups.
- Trigger Mode: Picks how strict the RSI signal must be. Options: "Cross only" (exact RSI crossover above trigger—super precise, fewer trades); "Cross+Grace" (crossover or within a grace window after—gives a second chance); "Cross+Grace+Sustain" (crossover/grace plus RSI holding steady for bars—best for steady climbs); "Any bar >= trigger" (looser, any bar above—more opportunities but riskier in chop). Start with "Any bar" for trends, switch to "Cross only" for caution.
- Grace Window (bars after cross): If mode allows, how many bars post-RSI-cross you can still enter if RSI dips but recovers. Default 30 (about 2.5 hours on 5m). Zero means no wiggle room—pure precision.
- Sustain Bars (RSI >= trigger): In sustain mode, how many straight bars RSI must stay above trigger. Default 3 ensures it's not a fluke spike.
- Require RSI Dip Below Rearm Before Any Entry?: A yes/no toggle. If on, the strategy "rearms" only after RSI dips below a low level (like a breather), preventing back-to-back signals in overextended rallies.
- Rearm Level (if requireDip=true): The dip threshold for rearming. Default 45—RSI must go below this to reset eligibility. Lower (30) for deeper pullbacks in volatile stocks.
For the trigger level itself, presets matter a lot—default 50 is neutral and versatile for broad trends. Bump to 55-60 for "strong momentum only" (fewer but higher-win trades, great in bull runs like tech surges); drop to 40-45 for "early bird" catches in recoveries (more signals but watch for fakes in ranges). The optimize hint (40-60) lets you test these in TradingView to match your risk—higher presets cut noise by 20-30% in backtests.
Trend / Filters Group: Keeping You on the Right Side of the Market
These EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) act like guardrails, ensuring you only long in uptrends.
- EMA (Fast) Confirmation: Short-term EMA for price action. Default 20 periods—price must be above this for "recent strength." Shorter (10) reacts faster to intraday pops.
- EMA (Trend Filter): Long-term EMA for big-picture trend. Default 200 (classic "above the 200-day" rule)—price above it confirms bull market. Minimum 50 to avoid over-smoothing.
Optional Hour Window Group: Timing Your Strikes
Avoid bad hours like lunch lulls or after-hours tricks.
- Restrict by Session?: Yes/no for using exact market hours. Default off.
- Session (e.g., 0930-1600 for NYSE): Time string like "0930-1600" for open to close. Auto-skips pre/post-market noise.
- Restrict by Hour Range?: Fallback yes/no for simple hours. Default off.
- Start Hour / End Hour: Clock times (0-23). Defaults 9-15 ET—focus on peak volume.
Volume Filter Group: No Volume, No Party
Confirms conviction—big moves need big participation.
- Require Volume > SMA?: Yes/no toggle. Default off—only fires on above-average volume.
- Volume SMA Length: Periods for the average. Default 20—compares current bar to recent norm.
Risk / Exits Group: Protecting and Profiting Smartly
Dynamic stops based on volatility (ATR = Average True Range) keep things realistic.
- ATR Length: Bars for ATR calc. Default 14—measures recent "wiggle room" in price.
- ATR Stop Multiplier: How far below entry for stop-loss. Default 1.5x ATR—gives breathing space without huge risk
- Take-Profit R Multiple: Reward target as multiple of risk. Default 2.0 (2:1 ratio)—aims for twice your stop distance.
- Use Trailing Stop?: Yes/no for profit-locking trail. Default off—activates after entry.
- Trailing ATR Multiplier: Trail distance. Default 2.0x ATR—looser than initial stop to let winners run.
These inputs make the strategy plug-and-play: Defaults work out-of-box for trending stocks, but tweak RSI trigger/modes first for your style.
Always backtest changes—small shifts can flip a 40% win rate to 50%+!
Outputs (Visuals & Alerts):
- Plots: Blue EMA200 (trend line), Orange EMA20 (price filter), Green dashed entry price.
- Labels: Green "LONG" arrow with RSI value on entries.
- Background: Light green highlight on signal bars.
- Alerts: "FirstStrike Long Entry" fires on conditions (integrates with TradingView notifications).
Entry-Exit Logic
Entry (Long Only, One Per Day):
1. Daily Reset: New day clears trade gate and (if required) rearm status.
2. Filters Pass: Time/session OK + Close > EMA200 (trend) + Close > EMA20 (price) + Volume > SMA (if enabled) + Rearmed (dip below rearm if toggled).
3. Trigger Fires: RSI >= trigger via selected mode (e.g., crossover + grace window).
4. Execute: Enter long at close; set daily flag to block repeats.
Exit:
- Stop-Loss: Entry - (ATR * 1.5) – dynamic, vol-scaled.
- Take-Profit: Entry + (Risk * 2.0) – fixed RR.
- Trailing (Optional): Activates post-entry; trails at Close - (ATR * 2.0), updating on each bar for trend extension.
No shorts or hedging—pure long bias.
Formulae Used
- RSI: `ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)` – Standard 14-period momentum oscillator (0-100).
- EMAs: `ta.ema(close, len)` – Exponential moving averages for trend/price filters.
- ATR: `ta.atr(atrLen)` – True range average for stop sizing: Stop = Entry - (ATR * mult).
- Volume SMA: `ta.sma(volume, volLen)` – Simple average for relative strength filter.
- Grace Window: `bar_index - lastCrossBarIndex <= graceBars` – Counts bars since RSI crossover.
- Sustain: `ta.barssince(rsi < trigger) >= sustainBars` – Consecutive bars above threshold.
- Session Check: `time(timeframe.period, sessionStr) != 0` – TradingView's built-in session validator.
- Risk Distance: `riskPS = entry - stop; TP = entry + (riskPS * RR)` – Asymmetric reward calc.
FAQ
Q: Why only one trade/day?
A: Prevents revenge trading in volatile sessions . Backtests show it cuts losers by 20-30% vs. multi-entry bots.
Q: Does it work on all assets/timeframes?
A: Best for trending stocks/indices on 5m-1H. Test on crypto/forex with wider ATR mult (2.0+).
Q: How to optimize?
A: Use TradingView's optimizer on RSI trigger (40-60) and EMA fast (10-30). Aim for PF >1.0 over 1Y data.
Q: Alerts don't fire—why?
A: Ensure `alertcondition` is enabled in script settings. Test with "Any alert() function calls only."
Q: Trailing stop too loose?
A: Tune `trailMult` to 1.5 for tighter; it activates alongside fixed TP/SL for hybrid protection.
Glossary
- Grace Window: Post-RSI-cross period (bars) where entry still allowed if RSI holds trigger.
- Rearm Dip: Optional pullback below a low RSI level (e.g., 45) to "reset" eligibility after signals.
- Profit Factor (PF): Gross profit / gross loss—>1.0 means winners outweigh losers.
- R Multiple: Risk units (e.g., 2R = 2x stop distance as target).
- Sustain Bars: Consecutive bars RSI stays >= trigger for mode confirmation.
Recommendations
- Backtest First: Run on your symbols (/) over 6-12M; tweak RSI to 55 for +5% win rate.
- Live Use: Start paper trading with `useSession=true` and `useVol=true` to filter noise.
- Pairs Well With: Higher TF (daily) for bias; add ADX (>25) filter for strong trends (code snippet in prior chats).
- Risk Note: 10% sizing suits $100k+ accounts; scale down for smaller. Not financial advice—past performance ≠ future.
- Publish Tip: Add tags like "momentum," "RSI," "long-only" on TradingView for visibility.

VWAP Deviation Oscillator [BackQuant]VWAP Deviation Oscillator
Introduction
The VWAP Deviation Oscillator turns VWAP context into a clean, tradeable oscillator that works across assets and sessions. It adapts to your workflow with four VWAP regimes plus two rolling modes, and three deviation metrics: Percent, Absolute, and Z-Score. Colored zones, optional standard deviation rails, and flexible plot styles make it fast to read for both trend following and mean reversion.
What it does
This tool measures how far price is from a chosen VWAP and expresses that gap as an oscillator. You can view the deviation as raw price units, percent, or standardized Z-Score. The plot can be a histogram or a line with optional fills and sigma bands, so you can quickly spot polarity shifts, overbought and oversold conditions, and strength of extension.
VWAP modes track a session VWAP that resets (4H, Daily, Weekly) or a rolling VWAP that updates continuously over a fixed number of bars or days.
Deviation modes let you choose the lens: Percent, Absolute, or Z-Score. Each highlights different aspects of stretch and mean pressure.
Visual encoding uses a 10-zone color palette to grade the magnitude of deviation on both sides of zero.
Volatility guards compute mode-specific sigma so thresholds are stable even when volatility compresses.
Why this works
VWAP is a high signal anchor used by institutions to gauge fair participation. Deviations around VWAP cluster in regimes: mild oscillations within a band, decisive pushes that signal imbalance, and standardized extremes that often precede either continuation or snapback. Expressing that distance as a single time series adds clarity: bias is the oscillator’s sign, risk context is its magnitude, and regime is the way it behaves around sigma lines.
How to use it
Trend following
Favor the side of the zero line. Bullish when the oscillator is above zero and making higher swing highs. Bearish when below zero and making lower swing lows. Use +1 sigma and +2 sigma in your mode as strength tiers. Pullbacks that hold above zero in uptrends, or below zero in downtrends, are often continuation entries.
Mean reversion
Fade stretched readings when structure supports it. Look for tests of +2 sigma to +3 sigma that fail to progress and roll back toward zero, or the mirror on the downside. Z-Score mode is best when you want standardized gates across assets. Percent mode is intuitive for intraday scalps where a given percent stretch tends to mean revert.
Session playbook
Use Daily or Weekly VWAP for intraday or swing context. Rolling modes help when the asset lacks clean session boundaries or when you want a continuous anchor that adapts to liquidity shifts.
Key settings
VWAP computation
VWAP Mode = 4 Hours, Daily, Weekly, Rolling (Bars), Rolling (Days). Session modes reset the VWAP when a new session begins. Rolling modes compute VWAP over a fixed trailing window.
Rolling (Lookback: Bars) controls the trailing bar count when using Rolling (Bars).
Rolling (Lookback: Days) converts days to bars at runtime and uses that trailing span.
Use Close instead of HLC3 switches the price reference. HLC3 is smoother. Close makes the anchor track settlement more tightly.
Deviation measurement
Deviation Mode
Percent : 100 * (Price / VWAP - 1). Good for uniform scaling across instruments.
Absolute : Price - VWAP. Good when price units themselves matter.
Z-Score : Standardizes the absolute residual by its own mean and standard deviation over Z/Std Window . Ideal for cross-asset comparability and regime studies.
Z/Std Window sets the mean and standard deviation window for Z-Score mode.
Volatility controls
Percent Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for percent deviations.
Absolute Mode Volatility Lookback estimates sigma for absolute deviations.
Minimum Sigma Guard (pct pts) prevents the percent sigma from collapsing to near zero in extremely quiet markets.
Visualization
Plot Type = Histogram or Line. Histogram emphasizes impulse and polarity changes. Line emphasizes trend waves and divergences.
Positive Color / Negative Color define the palette for line mode. Histogram uses a 10-bucket gradient automatically.
Show Standard Deviations plots symmetric rails at ±1, ±2, ±3 sigma in the current mode’s units.
Fill Line Oscillator and Fill Opacity add a soft bias band around zero for line mode.
Line Width affects both the oscillator and the sigma rails.
Reading the zones
The oscillator’s color and height map deviation to nine graded buckets on each side of zero, with deeper greens above and deeper reds below. In Percent and Absolute modes, those buckets are scaled by their mode-specific sigma. In Z-Score mode the bucket edges are fixed at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 2.8.
0 to +1 sigma weak positive bias, usually rotational.
+1 to +2 sigma constructive impulse. Pullbacks that hold above zero often continue.
+2 to +3 sigma strong expansion. Watch for either trend continuation or exhaustion tells.
Beyond +3 sigma statistical extreme. Requires structure to avoid fading too soon.
Mirror logic applies on the negative side.
Suggested workflows
Trend continuation checklist
Pick a session VWAP that matches your timeframe, for example Daily for intraday or Weekly for position trades.
Wait for the oscillator to hold the correct side of zero and for a sequence of higher swing lows in the oscillator (uptrend) or lower swing highs (downtrend).
Buy pullbacks that stabilize between zero and +1 sigma in an uptrend. Sell rallies that stabilize between zero and -1 sigma in a downtrend.
Use the next sigma band or a prior price swing as your target reference.
Mean reversion checklist
Switch to Z-Score mode for standardized thresholds.
Identify tests of ±2 sigma to ±3 sigma that fail to extend while price meets support or resistance.
Enter on a polarity change through the prior histogram bar or a small hook in line mode.
Fade back to zero or to the opposite inner band, then reassess.
Notes on the three modes
Percent is easy to reason about when you care about proportional stretch. It is well suited to intraday and multi-asset dashboards.
Absolute tracks cash distance from VWAP. This is useful when instruments have tight ticks and you plan risk in price units.
Z-Score standardizes the residual and is best for quant studies, cross-asset comparisons, and threshold research that must be scale invariant.
What the alerts can tell you
Polarity changes at zero can mark the start or end of a leg.
Crosses of ±1 sigma identify overbought or oversold in the current mode’s units.
Zone changes signal an upgrade or downgrade in deviation strength.
Troubleshooting and edge cases
If your instrument has long flat periods, keep Minimum Sigma Guard above zero in Percent mode so the rails do not vanish.
In Rolling modes, very short windows will respond quickly but can whip around. Session modes smooth this by resetting at well known boundaries.
If Z-Score looks erratic, increase Z/Std Window to stabilize the estimate of mean and sigma for the residual.
Final thoughts
VWAP is the anchor. The deviation oscillator is the narrative. By separating bias, magnitude, and regime into a simple stream you can execute faster and review cleaner. Pick the VWAP mode that matches your horizon, choose the deviation lens that matches your risk framework, and let the color graded zones guide your decisions.
Alt buy signal 1H Entry + 4H Confirm (MACD + Stoch RSI + HMA)This indicator is a multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis tool designed for the ALT trading , capturing entry signals on the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and confirming trends on the 4-hour (4H) timeframe. It combines MACD, Stoch RSI, and Hull Moving Average (HMA) to identify precise buy opportunities, particularly at reversal points after a downtrend or during trend shifts. It visually marks both past and current BUY signals for easy reference.
Key Features:
1H Entry Signal (Early Ping): Triggers on a MACD golden cross (below 0) combined with a Stoch RSI oversold cross (below 20), offering an initial buy opportunity.
4H Trend Confirmation (Entry Ready): Validates the trend with a 4H MACD histogram rising (in negative territory) or a golden cross, plus a Stoch RSI turn-up (above 30).
Past BUY Display: Labels past data points where these conditions were met as "1H BUY" or "FULL BUY," facilitating backtesting.
HMA Filter: Optional HMA(16) to confirm price breakouts, enhancing trend validation.
Purpose: Ideal for short-term scalping and swing trading. Supports a two-step strategy: initial partial entry on 1H signals, followed by additional entry on 4H confirmation.
Usage Instructions
Installation: Add the indicator to an IMX/USDT 1H chart on TradingView.
Signal Interpretation:
lime "1H BUY": 1H conditions met, consider initial entry (stop-loss: 3-5% below recent low).
green "FULL BUY": 1H+4H conditions met, confirm trend for additional entry (take-profit: 10% below recent swing high).
Customization: Adjust TF (1H/4H), MACD/Stoch RSI parameters, and HMA usage via the input settings.
Alert Setup: Enable alerts for "ENTRY READY" (1H+4H) or "EARLY PING" (1H only) conditions.
Advantages
Accuracy: Reduces false signals by combining MACD golden cross below 0 with Stoch RSI oversold conditions.
Dual Confirmation: 1H for quick timing and 4H for trend validation, improving risk management.
Visualization: Past BUY points enable easy backtesting and pattern recognition.
Flexibility: 4H confirmation mode adjustable (histogram rise or golden cross).
Limitations
Timeframe Dependency: Optimized for 1H charts; may not work on other timeframes.
Market Conditions: Potential whipsaws in sideways markets; additional filters (e.g., RSI > 50) recommended.
Manual Management: Stop-loss and take-profit require user discretion.

RSI: chart overlay
This indicator maps RSI thresholds directly onto price. Since the EMA of price aligns with RSI’s 50-line, it draws a volatility-based band around the EMA to reveal levels such as 70 and 30.
By converting RSI values into visible price bands, the overlay lets you see exactly where price would have to move to hit traditional RSI boundaries. These bands adapt in real time to both price movement and market volatility, keeping the classic RSI logic intact while presenting it in the context of price action. This approach helps traders interpret RSI signals without leaving the main chart window.
The calculation uses the same components as the RSI: alternative derivation script: Wilder’s EMA for smoothing, a volatility-based unit for scaling, and a normalization factor. The result is a dynamic band structure on the chart, representing RSI boundary levels in actual price terms.
Key components and calculation breakdown:
Wilder’s EMA
Used as the anchor point for measuring price position.
myEMA = ta.rma(close, Length)
Volatility Unit
Derived from the EMA of absolute close-to-close price changes.
CC_vol = ta.rma(math.abs(close - close ), Length)
Normalization Factor
Scales the volatility unit to align with the RSI formula’s structure.
normalization_factor = 1 / (Length - 1)
Upper and Lower Boundaries
Defines price bands corresponding to selected RSI threshold values.
up_b = myEMA + ((upper - 50) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
down_b = myEMA - ((50 - lower) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
Inputs
RSI length
Upper boundary – RSI level above 50
Lower boundary – RSI level below 50
ON/OFF toggle for 50-point line (EMA of close prices)
ON/OFF toggle for overbought/oversold coloring (use with line chart)
Interpretation:
Each band on the chart represents a chosen RSI level.
When price touches a band, RSI is at that threshold.
The distance between moving average and bands adjusts automatically with volatility and your selected RSI length.
All calculations remain fully consistent with standard RSI values.
Feedback and code suggestions are welcome, especially regarding implementation efficiency and customization.
Aggregated Scores Oscillator [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated risk-adjusted performance measurement system that combines Omega Ratio and Sortino Ratio methodologies to create a comprehensive market assessment oscillator. Utilizing advanced statistical band calculations with expanding and rolling window analysis, this indicator delivers institutional-grade overbought/oversold detection based on risk-adjusted returns rather than traditional price movements. The system's dual-ratio aggregation approach provides superior signal accuracy by incorporating both upside potential and downside risk metrics with dynamic threshold adaptation for varying market conditions.
🔶 Advanced Statistical Framework
Implements dual statistical methodologies using expanding and rolling window calculations to create adaptive threshold bands that evolve with market conditions. The system calculates cumulative statistics alongside rolling averages to provide both historical context and current market regime sensitivity with configurable window parameters for optimal performance across timeframes.
🔶 Dual Ratio Integration System
Combines Omega Ratio analysis measuring excess returns versus deficit returns with Sortino Ratio calculations focusing on downside deviation for comprehensive risk-adjusted performance assessment. The system applies configurable smoothing to both ratios before aggregation, ensuring stable signal generation while maintaining sensitivity to regime changes.
// Omega Ratio Calculation
Excess_Return = sum((Daily_Return > Target_Return ? Daily_Return - Target_Return : 0), Period)
Deficit_Return = sum((Daily_Return < Target_Return ? Target_Return - Daily_Return : 0), Period)
Omega_Ratio = Deficit_Return ≠ 0 ? (Excess_Return / Deficit_Return) : na
// Sortino Ratio Framework
Downside_Deviation = sqrt(sum((Daily_Return < Target_Return ? (Daily_Return - Target_Return)² : 0), Period) / Period)
Sortino_Ratio = (Mean_Return / Downside_Deviation) * sqrt(Annualization_Factor)
// Aggregated Score
Aggregated_Score = SMA(Omega_Ratio, Omega_SMA) + SMA(Sortino_Ratio, Sortino_SMA)

The system's adaptive statistical bands and dual-ratio methodology provide institutional-grade signal accuracy suitable for systematic trading approaches across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets with comprehensive visual feedback and configurable risk parameters for optimal strategy integration.
Trend/Range Composite (Single-Line) v1.4🔹 Step 1: Add it to your chart
Copy the whole script.
In TradingView → Pine Editor → paste it.
Click Add to chart.
It will show a white line in a subwindow, plus thresholds at 40 and 60, and a colored background.
Optional: You’ll see a status box (top-right of chart) with details like ADX, ATR, slope, etc.
🔹 Step 2: Understand the Score
The indicator compresses all signals into a 0–100 “Trend Strength Score”:
≥ 60 = TREND (teal background)
→ Market is trending, consider trend strategies like vertical spreads, runners, breakouts.
≤ 40 = RANGE (orange background)
→ Market is choppy/sideways, consider range strategies like butterflies, condors, mean-reversion fades.
40–60 = MIXED (gray background)
→ Indecision / chop. Best to reduce size or wait for clarity.
🔹 Step 3: Use with Your Trading Plan
Intraday (5m, 15m, 30m)
Score < 40 → play support/resistance bounces, fade extremes.
Score > 60 → play momentum breakouts or pullback continuations.
Daily chart
Good for swing context (is this month trending or just chopping?).
🔹 Step 4: Alerts
You can set TradingView alerts:
Cross above 60 → market entering trend mode.
Cross below 40 → market entering range mode.
Useful if you don’t want to watch constantly.
🔹 Step 5: Confirm with Price Levels
The score tells you “trend vs range”, but you still need levels:
If score < 40 → mark PDH / PDL (previous day high/low), VAH/VAL, VWAP. Expect rejections/fades.
If score > 60 → watch for breakouts beyond PDH/PDL or supply/demand zones.
