Expected Move BandsExpected move is the amount that an asset is predicted to increase or decrease from its current price, based on the current levels of volatility.
In this model, we assume asset price follows a log-normal distribution and the log return follows a normal distribution.
Note: Normal distribution is just an assumption, it's not the real distribution of return
Settings:
"Estimation Period Selection" is for selecting the period we want to construct the prediction interval.
For "Current Bar", the interval is calculated based on the data of the previous bar close. Therefore changes in the current price will have little effect on the range. What current bar means is that the estimated range is for when this bar close. E.g., If the Timeframe on 4 hours and 1 hour has passed, the interval is for how much time this bar has left, in this case, 3 hours.
For "Future Bars", the interval is calculated based on the current close. Therefore the range will be very much affected by the change in the current price. If the current price moves up, the range will also move up, vice versa. Future Bars is estimating the range for the period at least one bar ahead.
There are also other source selections based on high low.
Time setting is used when "Future Bars" is chosen for the period. The value in time means how many bars ahead of the current bar the range is estimating. When time = 1, it means the interval is constructing for 1 bar head. E.g., If the timeframe is on 4 hours, then it's estimating the next 4 hours range no matter how much time has passed in the current bar.
Note: It's probably better to use "probability cone" for visual presentation when time > 1
Volatility Models :
Sample SD: traditional sample standard deviation, most commonly used, use (n-1) period to adjust the bias
Parkinson: Uses High/ Low to estimate volatility, assumes continuous no gap, zero mean no drift, 5 times more efficient than Close to Close
Garman Klass: Uses OHLC volatility, zero drift, no jumps, about 7 times more efficient
Yangzhang Garman Klass Extension: Added jump calculation in Garman Klass, has the same value as Garman Klass on markets with no gaps.
about 8 x efficient
Rogers: Uses OHLC, Assume non-zero mean volatility, handles drift, does not handle jump 8 x efficient
EWMA: Exponentially Weighted Volatility. Weight recently volatility more, more reactive volatility better in taking account of volatility autocorrelation and cluster.
YangZhang: Uses OHLC, combines Rogers and Garmand Klass, handles both drift and jump, 14 times efficient, alpha is the constant to weight rogers volatility to minimize variance.
Median absolute deviation: It's a more direct way of measuring volatility. It measures volatility without using Standard deviation. The MAD used here is adjusted to be an unbiased estimator.
Volatility Period is the sample size for variance estimation. A longer period makes the estimation range more stable less reactive to recent price. Distribution is more significant on a larger sample size. A short period makes the range more responsive to recent price. Might be better for high volatility clusters.
Standard deviations:
Standard Deviation One shows the estimated range where the closing price will be about 68% of the time.
Standard Deviation two shows the estimated range where the closing price will be about 95% of the time.
Standard Deviation three shows the estimated range where the closing price will be about 99.7% of the time.
Note: All these probabilities are based on the normal distribution assumption for returns. It's the estimated probability, not the actual probability.
Manually Entered Standard Deviation shows the range of any entered standard deviation. The probability of that range will be presented on the panel.
People usually assume the mean of returns to be zero. To be more accurate, we can consider the drift in price from calculating the geometric mean of returns. Drift happens in the long run, so short lookback periods are not recommended. Assuming zero mean is recommended when time is not greater than 1.
When we are estimating the future range for time > 1, we typically assume constant volatility and the returns to be independent and identically distributed. We scale the volatility in term of time to get future range. However, when there's autocorrelation in returns( when returns are not independent), the assumption fails to take account of this effect. Volatility scaled with autocorrelation is required when returns are not iid. We use an AR(1) model to scale the first-order autocorrelation to adjust the effect. Returns typically don't have significant autocorrelation. Adjustment for autocorrelation is not usually needed. A long length is recommended in Autocorrelation calculation.
Note: The significance of autocorrelation can be checked on an ACF indicator.
ACF
The multimeframe option enables people to use higher period expected move on the lower time frame. People should only use time frame higher than the current time frame for the input. An error warning will appear when input Tf is lower. The input format is multiplier * time unit. E.g. : 1D
Unit: M for months, W for Weeks, D for Days, integers with no unit for minutes (E.g. 240 = 240 minutes). S for Seconds.
Smoothing option is using a filter to smooth out the range. The filter used here is John Ehler's supersmoother. It's an advance smoothing technique that gets rid of aliasing noise. It affects is similar to a simple moving average with half the lookback length but smoother and has less lag.
Note: The range here after smooth no long represent the probability
Panel positions can be adjusted in the settings.
X position adjusts the horizontal position of the panel. Higher X moves panel to the right and lower X moves panel to the left.
Y position adjusts the vertical position of the panel. Higher Y moves panel up and lower Y moves panel down.
Step line display changes the style of the bands from line to step line. Step line is recommended because it gets rid of the directional bias of slope of expected move when displaying the bands.
Warnings:
People should not blindly trust the probability. They should be aware of the risk evolves by using the normal distribution assumption. The real return has skewness and high kurtosis. While skewness is not very significant, the high kurtosis should be noticed. The Real returns have much fatter tails than the normal distribution, which also makes the peak higher. This property makes the tail ranges such as range more than 2SD highly underestimate the actual range and the body such as 1 SD slightly overestimate the actual range. For ranges more than 2SD, people shouldn't trust them. They should beware of extreme events in the tails.
Different volatility models provide different properties if people are interested in the accuracy and the fit of expected move, they can try expected move occurrence indicator. (The result also demonstrate the previous point about the drawback of using normal distribution assumption).
Expected move Occurrence Test
The prediction interval is only for the closing price, not wicks. It only estimates the probability of the price closing at this level, not in between. E.g., If 1 SD range is 100 - 200, the price can go to 80 or 230 intrabar, but if the bar close within 100 - 200 in the end. It's still considered a 68% one standard deviation move.

Hurst Exponent - Detrended Fluctuation AnalysisIn stochastic processes, chaos theory and time series analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a signal. It is useful for analyzing time series that appear to be long-memory processes and noise.
█ OVERVIEW
We have introduced the concept of Hurst Exponent in our previous open indicator Hurst Exponent (Simple). It is an indicator that measures market state from autocorrelation. However, we apply a more advanced and accurate way to calculate Hurst Exponent rather than simple approximation. Therefore, we recommend using this version of Hurst Exponent over our previous publication going forward. The method we used here is called detrended fluctuation analysis. (For folks that are not interested in the math behind the calculation, feel free to skip to "features" and "how to use" section. However, it is recommended that you read it all to gain a better understanding of the mathematical reasoning).
█ Detrend Fluctuation Analysis
Detrended Fluctuation Analysis was first introduced by by Peng, C.K. (Original Paper) in order to measure the long-range power-law correlations in DNA sequences . DFA measures the scaling-behavior of the second moment-fluctuations, the scaling exponent is a generalization of Hurst exponent.
The traditional way of measuring Hurst exponent is the rescaled range method. However DFA provides the following benefits over the traditional rescaled range method (RS) method:
• Can be applied to non-stationary time series. While asset returns are generally stationary, DFA can measure Hurst more accurately in the instances where they are non-stationary.
• According the the asymptotic distribution value of DFA and RS, the latter usually overestimates Hurst exponent (even after Anis- Llyod correction) resulting in the expected value of RS Hurst being close to 0.54, instead of the 0.5 that it should be. Therefore it's harder to determine the autocorrelation based on the expected value. The expected value is significantly closer to 0.5 making that threshold much more useful, using the DFA method on the Hurst Exponent (HE).
• Lastly, DFA requires lower sample size relative to the RS method. While the RS method generally requires thousands of observations to reduce the variance of HE, DFA only needs a sample size greater than a hundred to accomplish the above mentioned.
█ Calculation
DFA is a modified root-mean-squares (RMS) analysis of a random walk. In short, DFA computes the RMS error of linear fits over progressively larger bins (non-overlapped “boxes” of similar size) of an integrated time series.
Our signal time series is the log returns. First we subtract the mean from the log return to calculate the demeaned returns. Then, we calculate the cumulative sum of demeaned returns resulting in the cumulative sum being mean centered and we can use the DFA method on this. The subtraction of the mean eliminates the “global trend” of the signal. The advantage of applying scaling analysis to the signal profile instead of the signal, allows the original signal to be non-stationary when needed. (For example, this process converts an i.i.d. white noise process into a random walk.)
We slice the cumulative sum into windows of equal space and run linear regression on each window to measure the linear trend. After we conduct each linear regression. We detrend the series by deducting the linear regression line from the cumulative sum in each windows. The fluctuation is the difference between cumulative sum and regression.
We use different windows sizes on the same cumulative sum series. The window sizes scales are log spaced. Eg: powers of 2, 2,4,8,16... This is where the scale free measurements come in, how we measure the fractal nature and self similarity of the time series, as well as how the well smaller scale represent the larger scale.
As the window size decreases, we uses more regression lines to measure the trend. Therefore, the fitness of regression should be better with smaller fluctuation. It allows one to zoom into the “picture” to see the details. The linear regression is like rulers. If you use more rulers to measure the smaller scale details you will get a more precise measurement.
The exponent we are measuring here is to determine the relationship between the window size and fitness of regression (the rate of change). The more complex the time series are the more it will depend on decreasing window sizes (using more linear regression lines to measure). The less complex or the more trend in the time series, it will depend less. The fitness is calculated by the average of root mean square errors (RMS) of regression from each window.
Root mean Square error is calculated by square root of the sum of the difference between cumulative sum and regression. The following chart displays average RMS of different window sizes. As the chart shows, values for smaller window sizes shows more details due to higher complexity of measurements.
The last step is to measure the exponent. In order to measure the power law exponent. We measure the slope on the log-log plot chart. The x axis is the log of the size of windows, the y axis is the log of the average RMS. We run a linear regression through the plotted points. The slope of regression is the exponent. It's easy to see the relationship between RMS and window size on the chart. Larger RMS equals less fitness of the regression. We know the RMS will increase (fitness will decrease) as we increases window size (use less regressions to measure), we focus on the rate of RMS increasing (how fast) as window size increases.
If the slope is < 0.5, It means the rate of of increase in RMS is small when window size increases. Therefore the fit is much better when it's measured by a large number of linear regression lines. So the series is more complex. (Mean reversion, negative autocorrelation).
If the slope is > 0.5, It means the rate of increase in RMS is larger when window sizes increases. Therefore even when window size is large, the larger trend can be measured well by a small number of regression lines. Therefore the series has a trend with positive autocorrelation.
If the slope = 0.5, It means the series follows a random walk.
█ FEATURES
• Sample Size is the lookback period for calculation. Even though DFA requires a lower sample size than RS, a sample size larger > 50 is recommended for accurate measurement.
• When a larger sample size is used (for example = 1000 lookback length), the loading speed may be slower due to a longer calculation. Date Range is used to limit numbers of historical calculation bars. When loading speed is too slow, change the data range "all" into numbers of weeks/days/hours to reduce loading time. (Credit to allanster)
• “show filter” option applies a smoothing moving average to smooth the exponent.
• Log scale is my work around for dynamic log space scaling. Traditionally the smallest log space for bars is power of 2. It requires at least 10 points for an accurate regression, resulting in the minimum lookback to be 1024. I made some changes to round the fractional log space into integer bars requiring the said log space to be less than 2.
• For a more accurate calculation a larger "Base Scale" and "Max Scale" should be selected. However, when the sample size is small, a larger value would cause issues. Therefore, a general rule to be followed is: A larger "Base Scale" and "Max Scale" should be selected for a larger the sample size. It is recommended for the user to try and choose a larger scale if increasing the value doesn't cause issues.
The following chart shows the change in value using various scales. As shown, sometimes increasing the value makes the value itself messy and overshoot.
When using the lowest scale (4,2), the value seems stable. When we increase the scale to (8,2), the value is still alright. However, when we increase it to (8,4), it begins to look messy. And when we increase it to (16,4), it starts overshooting. Therefore, (8,2) seems to be optimal for our use.
█ How to Use
Similar to Hurst Exponent (Simple). 0.5 is a level for determine long term memory.
• In the efficient market hypothesis, market follows a random walk and Hurst exponent should be 0.5. When Hurst Exponent is significantly different from 0.5, the market is inefficient.
• When Hurst Exponent is > 0.5. Positive Autocorrelation. Market is Trending. Positive returns tend to be followed by positive returns and vice versa.
• Hurst Exponent is < 0.5. Negative Autocorrelation. Market is Mean reverting. Positive returns trends to follow by negative return and vice versa.
However, we can't really tell if the Hurst exponent value is generated by random chance by only looking at the 0.5 level. Even if we measure a pure random walk, the Hurst Exponent will never be exactly 0.5, it will be close like 0.506 but not equal to 0.5. That's why we need a level to tell us if Hurst Exponent is significant.
So we also computed the 95% confidence interval according to Monte Carlo simulation. The confidence level adjusts itself by sample size. When Hurst Exponent is above the top or below the bottom confidence level, the value of Hurst exponent has statistical significance. The efficient market hypothesis is rejected and market has significant inefficiency.
The state of market is painted in different color as the following chart shows. The users can also tell the state from the table displayed on the right.
An important point is that Hurst Value only represents the market state according to the past value measurement. Which means it only tells you the market state now and in the past. If Hurst Exponent on sample size 100 shows significant trend, it means according to the past 100 bars, the market is trending significantly. It doesn't mean the market will continue to trend. It's not forecasting market state in the future.
However, this is also another way to use it. The market is not always random and it is not always inefficient, the state switches around from time to time. But there's one pattern, when the market stays inefficient for too long, the market participants see this and will try to take advantage of it. Therefore, the inefficiency will be traded away. That's why Hurst exponent won't stay in significant trend or mean reversion too long. When it's significant the market participants see that as well and the market adjusts itself back to normal.
The Hurst Exponent can be used as a mean reverting oscillator itself. In a liquid market, the value tends to return back inside the confidence interval after significant moves(In smaller markets, it could stay inefficient for a long time). So when Hurst Exponent shows significant values, the market has just entered significant trend or mean reversion state. However, when it stays outside of confidence interval for too long, it would suggest the market might be closer to the end of trend or mean reversion instead.
Larger sample size makes the Hurst Exponent Statistics more reliable. Therefore, if the user want to know if long term memory exist in general on the selected ticker, they can use a large sample size and maximize the log scale. Eg: 1024 sample size, scale (16,4).
Following Chart is Bitcoin on Daily timeframe with 1024 lookback. It suggests the market for bitcoin tends to have long term memory in general. It generally has significant trend and is more inefficient at it's early stage.

Visible RangeOverview This is a precision tool designed for quantitative traders and engineers who need exact control over their chart's visual scope. Unlike standard time calculations that fail in markets with trading breaks (like A-Shares, Futures, or Stocks), this indicator uses a loop-back mechanism to count the actual number of visible bars, ensuring your indicators (e.g., MA60, MA200) have sufficient sample data.
Why use this? If you use multi-timeframe layouts (e.g., Daily/Hourly/15s), it is critical to know exactly how much data is visible.
The Problem: In markets like the Chinese A-Share market (T+1, 4-hour trading day), calculating Time Range / Timeframe results in massive errors because it includes closed market hours (lunch breaks, nights, weekends).
The Solution: This script iterates through the visible range to count the true bar_index, providing 100% accurate data density metrics.
Key Features
True Bar Counting: Uses a for loop to count actual candles, ignoring market breaks. perfect for non-24/7 markets.
Integer Precision: Displays time ranges (Days, Hours, Mins, Secs) in clean integers. No messy decimals.
Compact UI: Displays information in a single line (e.g., View: 30 Days (120 Bars)), default to the Top Right corner to save screen space.
Fully Customizable: Adjustable position, text size, and colors to fit any dark/light theme.
Performance Optimized: Includes max_bars_back limits to prevent browser lag on deep history lookups.
Settings
Position: Default Top Right (can be moved to any corner).
Max Bar Count: Default 5000 (Safety limit for loop calculation).

AlphaRank MA Lens – Multi-Timeframe Moving Average MapAlphaRank MA Lens – Multi-Timeframe Moving Average Map
AlphaRank MA Lens is a clean, open-source moving-average overlay that turns price action into an easy-to-read trend map. It focuses on structure and context only — no signals, no backtest, no hype — just a clear view of where price sits relative to key moving averages.
The script plots the 10 / 20 / 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 730 moving averages with full color control and a single “MA Type” switch, so you can flip the whole stack between SMA and EMA in one click. Instead of loading multiple separate MA indicators, this puts the full trend stack in one tool.
An optional background highlight lets you choose a reference MA (for example the 200 MA) and softly shade the chart:
Green when price is above that MA
Red when price is below it
This makes trend regime changes easy to see at a glance.
How traders typically use it (education only):
10/20/50 MAs → short-term trend and momentum.
100/150/200/730 MAs → bigger structural trend and “where price lives” in the long-term range.
Many traders consider conditions healthier when price and the short MAs are stacked above the longer MAs, and weaker when price trades below them.

NQ-VIX Expected Move LevelsNQ -VIX Daily Price Bands
This indicator plots dynamic intraday price bands for NQ futures based on real-time volatility levels measured by the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). The bands evolve throughout the trading day, providing volatility-adjusted price targets.
Formulas:
Upper Band = Daily Open + (NQ Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
Lower Band = Daily Open - (NQ Price × VIX ÷ √252 ÷ 100)
The calculation uses the square root of 252 (trading days per year) to convert annualized VIX volatility into an expected daily move, then scales it as a percentage adjustment from the current day's open.

MTF Trading Helper & Multi AlertsHi dear fellows, I´m using this indicator for my trading, so every then and when I will publish updates on this one.
This indicator should help to identify the right trading setup. I´m using it to trade index futures and stocks.
MTF Trading Helper & Multi Alerts
Overview
This indicator provides a clear visual representation of trend direction across three timeframes. It helps traders identify trend alignment, potential reversals, and optimal entry/exit points by analyzing the relationship between different smoothed timeframes.
You can set up multiple alerts (as one alert in Tradingview)
How It Works
The indicator displays three colored circles representing the smoothed candle direction on three different timeframes:
Bottom plot represents the overall trend direction, the plot in the middle shows intermediate momentum, and the one on top captures short-term price action.
When a color change occurs, the circle appears in a darker shade to highlight the transition.
🟢 Green = Bullish - 🔴 Red = Bearish
This change can also trigger multiple alerts.
Timeframe Settings - important
Choose between two trading setups, either for:
Intraday 1-minute candles or 1h for swing trading. Set up your chart accordingly to that timeframe.
Intraday | 1Min chart candles
Swing | 1 hour chart candles
Plots
TF3 represents the overall trend direction (bottom), TF2 shows intermediate momentum (middle), and TF1 captures short-term price action (top).
Interpretation & Strategy Alerts
1. Trend Bullish (TF3 turns Green)
The higher timeframe has shifted bullish - a potential new uptrend is forming.
Example: You're watching ES-mini on the Intraday setting. TF3 turns green after being red for several days. This signals the broader trend may be shifting bullish - consider looking for long opportunities.
2. Trend Bearish (TF3 turns Red)
The higher timeframe has shifted bearish - consider protecting profits or exiting long positions.
Example: You hold a long position in Es-mini. TF3 turns red, indicating the macro trend is weakening. This is your signal to take profits or tighten stop-losses.
3. Possible Accumulation (TF3 Red + TF2 turns Green)
While the overall trend is still bearish, the medium timeframe shows buying pressure. Smart money may be accumulating - watch closely for a potential trend reversal.
Example: Es-mini has been in a downtrend (TF3 red). Suddenly TF2 turns green while TF3 remains red. This could indicate institutional buying before a reversal. Don't buy yet, but add it to your watchlist and wait for confirmation.
4. Trend Continuation (TF3 Green + TF2 turns Green)
The medium timeframe realigns with the bullish macro trend - a potential buying opportunity as momentum returns to the uptrend.
Example: Es-mini is in an uptrend (TF3 green). After a pullback, TF2 was red but now turns green again. The pullback appears to be over - this is a trend continuation signal and a potential entry point.
5. Buy the Dip (TF3 + TF2 Green + TF1 turns Green)
All timeframes are now aligned bullish. The short-term pullback is complete and price is resuming the uptrend - optimal entry for short-term trades.
Example: Es-mini is trending up (TF3 + TF2 green). A small dip caused TF1 to turn red briefly. When TF1 turns green again, all three timeframes are aligned - this is your "Buy the Dip" signal with strong confirmation.
6. Sell the Dip (TF3 + TF2 Green + TF1 turns Red)
Short-term weakness within an uptrend. This can be used to take partial profits, wait for a better entry, or trail stops tighter.
Example: You're long on ES-mini with TF3 and TF2 green. TF1 turns red, indicating short-term selling pressure. Consider taking partial profits here and wait for TF1 to turn green again (Buy the Dip) to add back to your position.
How to Use
Choose your scenario: Select "Intraday" 1min-chart for day trading or "Swing" 1h-chart for swingtrading
Enable alerts: Turn on the strategy alerts you want to receive in the settings
Wait for signals: Let the indicator notify you when conditions align
Confirm with price action: Always use additional confirmation before entering trades
Best Practices
✅ Use TF3 as your trend filter - only take longs when TF3 turns green and hold them :)
✅ Use TF2 for timing - wait for TF2 to align with TF3 for swings.
✅ Use TF2 for early entries (accumulation phase) when TF3 is still red. Watch out!
✅ Use TF1 for entries when TF3 and TF2 are green. Only buy if TF1 is red. Keep it short and sweet.
✅ Combine with support/resistance levels for better entries
✅ Use proper risk management - no indicator is 100% accurate

ADX Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]ADX Forecast Colorful
Introducing one of the most advanced ADX indicators available — a fully customizable analytical tool that integrates forward-looking forecasting capabilities. ADX Forecast Colorful is a scientific evolution of the classic ADX, designed to anticipate future trend strength using linear regression. Instead of merely reacting to historical data, this indicator projects the future behavior of the ADX, giving traders a strategic edge in trend analysis.
⯁ Real-Time ADX Forecasting
For the first time, a public ADX indicator incorporates linear regression (least squares method) to forecast the future behavior of ADX. This breakthrough approach enables traders to anticipate trend strength changes based on historical momentum. By applying linear regression to the ADX, the indicator plots a projected trendline n periods ahead — helping users make more accurate and timely trading decisions.
⯁ Highly Customizable
The indicator adapts seamlessly to any trading style. It offers a total of 26 long entry conditions and 26 short entry conditions, making it one of the most configurable ADX tools on TradingView. Each condition is fully adjustable, enabling the creation of statistical, quantitative, and automated strategies. You maintain full control over the signals to align perfectly with your system.
⯁ Innovative and Science-Based
This is the first public ADX indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to ADX dynamics. Technically, it embeds machine learning logic into a traditional trend-strength indicator. Using linear regression as a predictive engine adds powerful statistical rigor to the ADX, turning it into an intelligent, forward-looking signal generator.
⯁ Scientific Foundation: Linear Regression
Linear regression is a fundamental method in statistics and machine learning used to model the relationship between a dependent variable y and one or more independent variables x. The basic formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
Where:
y = predicted value (e.g., future ADX)
x = explanatory variable (e.g., bar index or time)
β₀ = intercept
β₁ = slope (rate of change)
ε = random error term
The goal is to estimate β₀ and β₁ by minimizing the sum of squared errors. This is achieved using the least squares method, ensuring the best linear fit to historical data. Once the coefficients are calculated, the model extends the regression line forward, generating the ADX projection based on recent trends.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
To minimize the error, the regression coefficients are calculated as:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
Σ = summation
x̄ and ȳ = means of x and y
i ranges from 1 to n (number of data points)
These formulas provide the best linear unbiased estimator under Gauss-Markov conditions — assuming constant variance and linearity.
⯁ Linear Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational algorithm in supervised learning. Its power in producing quantitative predictions makes it essential in AI systems, predictive analytics, time-series forecasting, and automated trading. Applying it to the ADX essentially places an intelligent forecasting engine inside a classic trend tool.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Imagine an ADX time series like this:
Time →
ADX →
The regression line smooths these values and projects them n periods forward, creating a predictive trajectory. This forecasted ADX line can intersect with the actual ADX, offering smarter buy and sell signals.
⯁ Summary of Scientific Concepts
Linear Regression: Models variable relationships with a straight line.
Least Squares: Minimizes prediction errors for best fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: Predicts future values using historical data.
Supervised Learning: Trains models to predict outcomes from inputs.
Statistical Smoothing: Reduces noise and highlights underlying trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
Scientifically grounded: Based on rigorous statistical theory.
Unprecedented: First public ADX using least-squares forecast modeling.
Smart: Uses machine learning logic.
Forward-Looking: Generates predictive, not just reactive, signals.
Customizable: Flexible for any strategy or timeframe.
⯁ Conclusion
By merging ADX and linear regression, this indicator enables traders to predict market momentum rather than merely follow it. ADX Forecast Colorful is not just another indicator — it’s a scientific leap forward in technical analysis. With 26 fully configurable entry conditions and smart forecasting, this open-source tool is built for creating cutting-edge quantitative strategies.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What is the ADX?
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a technical analysis indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. It measures the strength of a trend in a market, regardless of whether the trend is up or down.
The ADX is an integral part of the Directional Movement System, which also includes the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and the Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). By combining these components, the ADX provides a comprehensive view of market trend strength.
⯁ How to use the ADX?
The ADX is calculated based on the moving average of the price range expansion over a specified period (usually 14 periods). It is plotted on a scale from 0 to 100 and has three main zones:
Strong Trend: When the ADX is above 25, indicating a strong trend.
Weak Trend: When the ADX is below 20, indicating a weak or non-existent trend.
Neutral Zone: Between 20 and 25, where the trend strength is unclear.

Fast Autocorrelation Estimator█ Overview:
The Fast ACF and PACF Estimation indicator efficiently calculates the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) using an online implementation. It helps traders identify patterns and relationships in financial time series data, enabling them to optimize their trading strategies and make better-informed decisions in the markets.
█ Concepts:
Autocorrelation, also known as serial correlation, is the correlation of a signal with a delayed copy of itself as a function of delay.
This indicator displays autocorrelation based on lag number. The autocorrelation is not displayed based over time on the x-axis. It's based on the lag number which ranges from 1 to 30. The calculations can be done with "Log Returns", "Absolute Log Returns" or "Original Source" (the price of the asset displayed on the chart).
When calculating autocorrelation, the resulting value will range from +1 to -1, in line with the traditional correlation statistic. An autocorrelation of +1 represents a perfect correlation (an increase seen in one time series leads to a proportionate increase in the other time series). An autocorrelation of -1, on the other hand, represents a perfect inverse correlation (an increase seen in one time series results in a proportionate decrease in the other time series). Lag number indicates which historical data point is autocorrelated. For example, if lag 3 shows significant autocorrelation, it means current data is influenced by the data three bars ago.
The Fast Online Estimation of ACF and PACF Indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing the linear relationship between a time series and its lagged values in TradingView. The indicator implements an online estimation of the Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and the Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) up to 30 lags, providing a real-time assessment of the underlying dependencies in your time series data. The Autocorrelation Function (ACF) measures the linear relationship between a time series and its lagged values, capturing both direct and indirect dependencies. The Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) isolates the direct dependency between the time series and a specific lag while removing the effect of any indirect dependencies.
This distinction is crucial in understanding the underlying relationships in time series data and making more informed decisions based on those relationships. For example, let's consider a time series with three variables: A, B, and C. Suppose that A has a direct relationship with B, B has a direct relationship with C, but A and C do not have a direct relationship. The ACF between A and C will capture the indirect relationship between them through B, while the PACF will show no significant relationship between A and C, as it accounts for the indirect dependency through B. Meaning that when ACF is significant at for lag 5, the dependency detected could be caused by an observation that came in between, and PACF accounts for that. This indicator leverages the Fast Moments algorithm to efficiently calculate autocorrelations, making it ideal for analyzing large datasets or real-time data streams. By using the Fast Moments algorithm, the indicator can quickly update ACF and PACF values as new data points arrive, reducing the computational load and ensuring timely analysis. The PACF is derived from the ACF using the Durbin-Levinson algorithm, which helps in isolating the direct dependency between a time series and its lagged values, excluding the influence of other intermediate lags.
█ How to Use the Indicator:
Interpreting autocorrelation values can provide valuable insights into the market behavior and potential trading strategies.
When applying autocorrelation to log returns, and a specific lag shows a high positive autocorrelation, it suggests that the time series tends to move in the same direction over that lag period. In this case, a trader might consider using a momentum-based strategy to capitalize on the continuation of the current trend. On the other hand, if a specific lag shows a high negative autocorrelation, it indicates that the time series tends to reverse its direction over that lag period. In this situation, a trader might consider using a mean-reversion strategy to take advantage of the expected reversal in the market.
ACF of log returns:
Absolute returns are often used to as a measure of volatility. There is usually significant positive autocorrelation in absolute returns. We will often see an exponential decay of autocorrelation in volatility. This means that current volatility is dependent on historical volatility and the effect slowly dies off as the lag increases. This effect shows the property of "volatility clustering". Which means large changes tend to be followed by large changes, of either sign, and small changes tend to be followed by small changes.
ACF of absolute log returns:
Autocorrelation in price is always significantly positive and has an exponential decay. This predictably positive and relatively large value makes the autocorrelation of price (not returns) generally less useful.
ACF of price:
█ Significance:
The significance of a correlation metric tells us whether we should pay attention to it. In this script, we use 95% confidence interval bands that adjust to the size of the sample. If the observed correlation at a specific lag falls within the confidence interval, we consider it not significant and the data to be random or IID (identically and independently distributed). This means that we can't confidently say that the correlation reflects a real relationship, rather than just random chance. However, if the correlation is outside of the confidence interval, we can state with 95% confidence that there is an association between the lagged values. In other words, the correlation is likely to reflect a meaningful relationship between the variables, rather than a coincidence. A significant difference in either ACF or PACF can provide insights into the underlying structure of the time series data and suggest potential strategies for traders. By understanding these complex patterns, traders can better tailor their strategies to capitalize on the observed dependencies in the data, which can lead to improved decision-making in the financial markets.
Significant ACF but not significant PACF: This might indicate the presence of a moving average (MA) component in the time series. A moving average component is a pattern where the current value of the time series is influenced by a weighted average of past values. In this case, the ACF would show significant correlations over several lags, while the PACF would show significance only at the first few lags and then quickly decay.
Significant PACF but not significant ACF: This might indicate the presence of an autoregressive (AR) component in the time series. An autoregressive component is a pattern where the current value of the time series is influenced by a linear combination of past values at specific lags.
Often we find both significant ACF and PACF, in that scenario simply and AR or MA model might not be sufficient and a more complex model such as ARMA or ARIMA can be used.
