Machine Learning: MFI Heat Map [YinYangAlgorithms]Overview:
MFI Heat Maps are a visually appealing way to display the values of 29 different MFIs at the same time while being able to make sense of it. Each plot within the Indicator represents a different MFI value. The higher you get up, the longer the length that was used for this MFI. This Indicator also features the use of Machine Learning to help balance the MFI levels. It doesn’t solely rely upon Machine Learning but instead incorporates a growing length MFI averaged with the Machine Learning MFI at any given index.
For instance, say we are calculating the 10th plot from the bottom, the MFI would be an average of:
MFI(source, 11)
Machine Learning MFI at Index of 10
We do it this way as they both help smooth each other out without relying solely on just one calculation method.
Due to plot limitations, you are capped at 28 Plot Amounts within this indicator, but that is still quite a bit of information you can glean from a Heat Map.
The Machine Learning used in this indicator is of the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). It uses a Fast and Slow MFI calculation then sorts through them over Machine Learning Length and calculates the differences between them. It then slices off KNN length to create our Max/Min Distances allotted. It adds the average between Fast and Slow MFIs to a Viable Distances array if their distances are within the KNN Min/Max distance. It then averages all distances in the Viable Distances array and returns the result.
The result of the KNN Function is saved to another ML Data array whose length is that of Plot Amount (Heat Map Size). This way each Index of the ML Data array can be indexed according to the Heat Map Size.
The Average of the ML Data array is the MFI line (white) that you’ll see plotted on the Indicator. There is also the SMA of the MFI Average (orange) which is likewise plotted. These plots allow you to visualize where the ML MFI is sitting and can potentially be useful for seeing when the MFI Average and SMA cross over and under each other.
We’ve heard many people talk highly of RSI, but sadly not too many even refer to MFI. MFI oftentimes may be overlooked, especially with new traders who may not even know what it is. Essentially MFI is an RSI but it also incorporates Volume into its calculations, which in our opinion leads to a more accurate reading; afterall, what is price movement without Volume.
Tutorial:
You may be thinking, this Indicator looks appealing to the eye, but how do I benefit from it trading wise?
Before we get into our visual examples, let's talk briefly about what makes Heat Maps in general a useful tool for trading. Heat Maps give us the ability to visualize and understand lots of data while removing the clutter. We can understand the data of 29 different MFIs without having to look at and decipher 29 different MFI plots. When you overlay too many MFI lines on top of each other, they can be very difficult to read and oftentimes end up actually hindering your Technical Analysis. For this reason, we have a simple solution to this problem; Heat Maps. This MFI Heat Map allows you to easily know (in a relative %) what the MFI level is for varying lengths. For Instance, the First (bottom) plot indexes an MFI of (K(0) (loop of Plot Amount) + Smoothing Length (default 1)) = 1. Since this is indexing (usually) a very low length, it will change much quicker. Whereas the Last (top) plot indexes an MFI of (K(27) (loop of Plot Amount) + Smoothing Length (default 1)) = 28. This is indexing a much higher length of MFI which results in the MFI the higher you go up in the Heat Map to move much slower.
Heat Maps give us the ability to see changes happening over multiple MFIs at the same time, which can be very useful for seeing shifts in MFI / Momentum. Remember, MFI incorporates Volume, so even if the price goes up a lot, if there was low volume, the MFI won’t move as much as an RSI would. However, likewise, if there is high volume but low price movement, the MFI will move slightly more than the RSI.
Heat Maps change color based on their MFI level. If the MFI is >= 90 it is HOT (red), if the MFI <= 9 it is COLD (teal, think of ICE). Green represents an MFI of 50-59 and Dark Blue represents an MFI of 40-49. Green and Dark blue are the most common colors as all the others are more ‘Extreme’ MFI levels.
Okay, time to get to the Examples :
Since there is so much going on in Heat Maps, we’ve decided to focus this tutorial to this specific area and talk about individual locations before talking about it as a whole.
If you refer to the example above where there are 2 white circles; these white circles are highlighting a key location you’ll be wanting to identify within your Heat Maps, many things are happening here:
The MFI crossed over the SMA (bullish).
The Heat Map started changing from mid/dark Blue (30-50 MFI) to Green (50-59 MFI) around the midline (the 50% dashed like).
The Lower levels of the Heat Map are turning Yellow/Orange/Red (60-100 MFI).
The Upper Levels of the Heat Map are still Light Blue - Green (10-50 MFI).
The 4 Key points above, all point towards potential Bullish Momentum changes. You’re likely wondering, but why? Let's discuss about each one in more specific detail:
1. The MFI crossed over the SMA (bullish): What this tells us is that the current MFI Average is now greater than its average over the last (default) 16 bars. This means there's been a large amount of Money Flow (Price and Volume) recently (subjectively based on the last (default) 16 average). This is one of the leading Bullish / Bearish signals you will see within this Indicator. You can enable Signals within the Settings and/or even add Alerts for when these crossings occur.
2. The Heat Map started changing from mid/dark Blue (30-50 MFI) to Green (50-59 MFI) around the midline (the 50% dashed like): This shows us that the index’s in the mid (if using all 28 heat map plots it would be at 14) has already received some of this momentum change. If you look at the second white circle (right), you’ll also notice the higher MFI plot indexes are also green. This is because since their length is long they still have some momentum and strength from the first white circle (left). Just because the first white circle failed in its bullish push, doesn’t mean it didn’t achieve momentum that would later on help to push the price up.
3. The Lower levels of the Heat Map are turning Yellow/Orange/Red (60-100 MFI): It occurred somewhat in the left white circle, but mainly in the right white circle. This shows us the MFI is very high on the lower lengths, this may lead to the current, middle and higher length MFIs following suit soon. Remember it has to work its way up, the higher levels can’t go red unless the lower levels go red first and the higher levels can also lag quite a bit behind and take awhile to catch up, this is normal, expected and meant to happen. Vice versa is also true with getting higher levels to go cold (light teal (think of ICE)).
4. The Upper Levels of the Heat Map are still Light Blue - Green (10-50 MFI): You might think at first that this is a bad thing, but it's not! Remember you want to be Fearful when others are Greedy and Greedy when others are Fearful! You don’t want to buy when the higher levels have a high MFI, you want to buy when you see the momentum pushing up in the lower MFI levels (getting yellow/orange/red in the low levels) while it is still Cold in the higher levels (BLUE OR GREEN, nothing higher than green as it is already slightly too high). There will be many times that it is Yellow or possibly Orange in the high levels and the bullish push still happens, but this is much more risky! The key to trading is to minimize risks while maximizing potential.
Hopefully now you’re getting an idea of how to spot potential bullish momentum changes, but what about bearish momentum changes? Technically they are the exact opposite, so we don’t need to go into as much detail, but lets still take a look at a few examples:
In the example above we marked the 3 times where it was displaying overly bullish characteristics. We marked the bullish momentum occurring with arrows. If you look closely at the start of the arrow to where it finishes, you’ll notice how the heat (HOT)(RED) works its way up from the lower levels to the higher levels. We then see the MFI to SMA cross under. In all 3 of these examples the heat made it all the way to the top of the chart. These are all very bearish signals that represent a bearish momentum movement that may occur soon.
Also, please note, the level the MFI is at DOES matter! That line isn’t there simply for you to see when there are crosses over and under. The MFI is considered to be Overbought when it is greater than 70 (the upper white dashed line, it is just formatted to be on a different scale cause there are 28 plots, but it represents 70). The MFI is considered to be Oversold when it is less than 30 (the lower white dashed line).
If we look to the left a little here where a big drop in price occurred shortly after our MFI and SMA crossed, would we have been able to identify it using the Heat Maps? Likely, No. There was some color change in the lower levels a few bars prior that went yellow/orange/red but before this cross happened they all went back to Dark Blue. In the middle section when the cross happened it was only Green and Yellow and in the upper section we are Blue. This would be a very risky trade to go on as the only real Bearish Indication was the MFI to SMA cross under. Remember, you want to reduce risk, you don’t want to simply trade on everytime the MFI and SMA cross each other or you’ll be getting yourself into many risky trades based on false signals.
Based on what you’ve learned above, can you see the signs that are indicating where this white circle may have potential for a bullish momentum change?
Now that we are more zoomed in, you may also be noticing there are colors to the price bars. This can be disabled in the settings, but just so you know what they mean, let’s zoom in a little more and talk about it.
We’ve condensed the Indicator a bit so you can see the bars better here. The colors that are displayed on these bars are the Heat Map value for your MFI (the white line in the Indicator). This way you can better see when the Price is Hot and Cold. As you may see while looking, the colors generally go from cold to hot when bullish momentum is happening and hot to cold when bearish momentum is happening. We don’t recommend solely looking at the bars as indicators to MFI momentum change, as seeing the Heat Map will give you much more data; however it can be nice to see the Heat Map projected on the bars rather than trying to eyeball it yourself or hover over each bar specifically to see their levels.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully this has given you some insight to how useful Heat Maps can be and why it works well with a Machine Learning (KNN) Model applied to the MFI.
PLEASE NOTE: You can adjust the line width for the Heat Map within the settings. If you condense the Indicator a lot or have a small screen, likely use a length of 1-2. If you have it stretched out or a large screen, a length of 2-3 will work nice. You just don’t want to have the lines overlapping or it defeats the purpose of a Heat Map. Also, the bigger the linewidth, generally you’ll want to increase the Transparency within the Settings also as it can get quite bright and hurt your eyes over time.
Settings:
MFI:
Show MFI and SMA Crossing Signals: MFI and SMA Crossing is one of the leading Bullish and Bearish Signals in this Indicator. You can also add alerts for these signals.
Plot Amount: How many plots are used in this Heat Map. (2 - 28).
Source: The Source to use in all MFI calculations.

MFI SMA Length: What length we smooth the MFI Average over to get our MFI SMA.
Machine Learning:
Average MFI data by adding a lookback to the Source: While populating our Heat Map with the MFI's, should use use the Source each MFI Length increase or should we also lookback a Source each MFI Length Increase.
KNN Distance Requirement: To be a valid KNN, it needs to abide by a Distance calculation. Generally only Max is used, but you can change it if it suits your trading style better.
Machine Learning Length: How much ML data should we store? The longer the length generally the smoother the result; which may not be as accurate for something like a Heat Map, so keeping this relatively low may lead to more accurate results.
KNN Length: How many KNN are used in the slice to calculate max/min distance allowed.
Fast Length: Fast MFI length used in KNN to calculate distances by comparing its distance with the Slow MFI Length.
Slow Length: Slow MFI length used in KNN to calculate distances by comparing its distance with the Fast MFI Length.

Initial Balance Panel Strategy for BitcoinInitial Balance Strategy
Initial Balance Strategy uses a source code of "Initial Balance Monitoring Panel" that build from "Initial Balance Markets Time Zones - Overall Highest and Lowest".
Initial Balance is based on the highest and lowest price action within the first 60 minutes of trading. Reading online this can depict which way the market can trend for the session. More information about Initial Balance Panel you can read at the end of the article.
Strategy idea
The main idea is to catch the trend move when most of the 16 Crypto pairs break the Low or High levels together. I found good results when 15 of 16 pairs is break that levels and after we manage the trade within some trail stop indicator, I choose Volatility Stop for this strategy.
Additional Strategy idea
The second one idea that was not made is to catch the pullback after fully green/red zones in Initial Balance Panel become white. That mean the main trend can be finished and we can try to catch good pullback in opposite direction.
Binance Crypto pairs
The strategy use the 16 default Crypto currencies pairs from the Binance. As additional variations of the strategy can be changing the currencies pairs and their number.
List of default pairs:
BINANCE:BTCUSDT, BINANCE:ETHUSDT, BINANCE:EOSUSDT, BINANCE:LTCUSDT, BINANCE:XRPUSDT, BINANCE:DASHUSDT, BINANCE:IOTAUSDT, BINANCE:NEOUSDT, BINANCE:QTUMUSDT, BINANCE:XMRUSDT, BINANCE:ZECUSDT, BINANCE:ETCUSDT, BINANCE:ADAUSDT, BINANCE:XTZUSDT, BINANCE:LINKUSDT, BINANCE:DOTUSDT
Summary
The strategy works very well for a buy trades with settings 15 crypto pairs of 16 that follow the trend with breaking the long initial balance level.
Initial Balance Monitoring Panel
Allows you to have an instant view of 16 Crypto pairs within a monitoring panel, monitoring Initial Balance (Asia, London, New York Stock Exchanges).
The code can easily be changed to suit the crypto pairs you are trading.
The setup of my chart would also include this indicator and the "Initial Balance Markets Time Zones - Overall Highest and Lowest" (with all IBs enabled) as shown above.
Initial Balance is based on the highest and lowest price action within the first 60 minutes of trading. Reading online this can depict which way the market can trend for the session.
The indicator has been coded for Crypto (so other symbols may not work as expected).
Though Initial Balance is based off the first 60 minutes of the trading markets opening, but Crypto is 24/7, this indicator looks at how Asia, London and New York Stock Exchanges opening trading can affect Crypto price action.

Ichimoku Kinko HyoThis indicator is adding to the original indicator Ichimoku Cloud some visual informations.
Be aware of settings that are by default 10, 30, 60, while in the original indicator, default settings are 9, 26, 52. These are commonly consider like "crypto settings".
Tenkan = blue line
Kijun = orange line
SSB = red line
This indicator display three categories of signals that are given by the Ichimoku indicator:
- tenkan / kijun crosses ;
- breaks of mid prices for the different time horizon ;
- bar coloring depending of the trend
Let's review more in deep each of these elements.
Tenkan / Kijun crosses
When the tenkan crossover the kijun, this is called gold cross and it's display by a green triangle at the bottom of the chart.
When the tenkan crossunder the kijun, this is called death cross and it's display by a red triangle at the top of the chart.
I advise to not enter long or short only on this signal because it can be fake, especially during ranges.
To confirm the signal, we need to wait for a movement of the kijun in the same side of the cross. See first arrow on the chart.
Breaks of mid prices
Ichimoku is composed of three han-le lines that displays mid-price of the last candles depending on the settings (10, 30, 60).
Tenkan show us the mid-price of the last 10 candles (short term)
Kijun show us the mid-price of the last 30 candles (mid term)
SSB show us the mid-price of the last 60 candles (long term)
Break of tenkan by the price is the first signal that Ichimoku gives us before a reversal of the trend. This signal is display by a blue triangle.
Then, happened the break of kijun line follow by the break of the SSB. These are display respectively by an orange triangle and a red triangle.
Same advise, don't enter long or short only on break of these lines.
However, tenkan and kijun breaks can be used as exit point.
Bar coloring
The bar coloring display the strength of the trend:
- green candle: strong bullish trend - this happen when the current price is above tenkan, kijun and SSB ;
- blue candle: potential starting of a bullish trend - this happen when the current price is above tenkan and kijun but below the SSB ;
- no colored candle: no trend, market is in a range - this happen when the current price is above tenkan and below kijun and SSB or when the current price is below tenkan and above kijun and SSB ;
- orange candle: potential starting of a bearish trend - this happen when the current price is below tenkan and kijun but above SSB ;
- red candle: strong bearish trend - this happen when the current price is below tenkan, kijun and SSB
How to use to enter / exit trades
First of all, we need confirmations to enter in the side of the trend.
The first signal that the indicator gives us is the break of tenkan, follow by the break of kijun. Candles becomes blue / orange depending of the side.
Then, we wait for a cross of tenkan and kijun. This cross has to be confirmed by a movement of kijun. A flat kijun tell us this is a fake cross.
When the movement of kijun happened in the same side of the cross it is possible to enter a trade if you are aggresive.
Otherwise, you can wait for the third signal to take place: break of SSB, candle become green / red, depending on the side.
You can then enter a trade.
Then hold the position and wait to exit for break of tenkan or kijun, depending on your horizon (short / mid term).
If you have other questions or some features that are missing, pm me. Thanks.

Risk On Risk OffA helpful indicator for those who follow a systematic long-term investment approach.
What it shows:
It shows the 60 Day Cumulative Return of $BND Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF against the 60 Day Cumulative Return of $BIL SPDR Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF.
Why:
This Indicator will provide you a sense of where the economic environment is at, if the indicator shows that the 60 Day Cumulative return of $BND is ABOVE $BIL, it means that it's a good idea to go Risk ON in the stock market; On the other hand, if the inverse is true, it means that is a good idea to go Risk OFF in the stock market.
Example Uses:
Warren Buffet often advice Investors to just buy a S&P500 index tracking ETF like $SPY consistently and you will likely to be making money in the long-term.
With this indicator you will be able to make the Buffet Strategy even simpler: when the indicator shows Risk ON, buy the $SPY; when the indicator shows Risk OFF, consider hedges like $IEF iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF. AMEX:SPY
Multi HMA Lines by NB(ENG)
The Hull Moving Average (HMA) line responds quickly to volatile markets,
sometimes it provides more accurate information than the Exponancital Moving Average (EMA).
In particular, the 200 HMA line is easy to decide the overall trend of the market,
and it serves the basis entry position.
So I made indicator that provides these HMA lines into various periods so that they can be checked in one.
In addition, a custom TimeFrame HMA line function has been added so that you can check
not only the TimeFrame that meets your trading standards, but also the HMA of the other TimeFrame that you custome sets.
For example, if you want to see the 200 HMA of the 60-minute bar, you can select and set the different TimeFrame in the Multi TF section below.
For reference, 200 HMA at the 15-minute bar is the same value as 50 HMA at the 1-hour bar, so as shown in the following chart,
I use 4 HMA lines at the 15-minute bar : 20 HMA, 50 HMA, 200 HMA, and 200 HMA from 60-minute TimeFrame.
We hope it will help you in your trading. :)
(KOR)
HMA(Hull Moving Average) 라인은 변동성이 심한 시장에 빠르게 반응하며,
때때로 EMA(Exponancital Moving Average)보다 더 정확한 정보를 제공하곤 합니다.
특히 200HMA 라인은 시장의 전반적인 추세를 판단하기에 용이하며,
큰 틀에서의 포지션 진입 근거의 기반이 됩니다.
이러한 HMA 라인을 다양한 기간으로 나누어 하나의 지표에서 확인 할 수 있도록 만들어 보았습니다.
아울러, 자신의 매매 기준에 맞는 타임 프레임은 물론, 다른 타임 프레임의 HMA도 확인 할 수 있도록
커스텀 타임 프레임 HMA 라인 기능을 추가로 넣었습니다.
예를 들어, 15분 타임 프레임이 본인 매매 기준표이지만, 60분 봉의 200 HMA도 보고 싶다면
밑의 Multi TF 항목에서 해당 타임 프레임을 선택 후 설정하시면 됩니다.
참고로 15분 봉에서의 200 HMA은 1시간 봉에서의 50 HMA과 동일한 값이므로 저는 다음 차트 그림과 같이
15분 봉에서 20 HMA, 50 HMA, 200 HMA, 그리고 1시간 봉에서 200 HMA 이렇게 4개의 라인을 참고 하고 있습니다.
여러분 거래에 도움이 되기를 바랍니다. :)
RexDog Hour Close LinesThe RexDog Hour Close Lines plots the last 4 previous hour (60 minute) closes. Extremely helpful indicator for traders who trade on lower timeframes below the 60.
The plotted lines are also offset to represent that hours close location on the chart-- but keep the below in mind.
The offset is set for a default resolution of 5 minutes. In that chart timeframe, the offset is correct as to the close location. Changing the timeframe to 3m for instance the offset is not accurate to that particular bar. I am sure there is a simple way to do this but maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. Either way, the offset in any timeframe is easy to distinguish the oldest hour close to the newest.
This indicator has the following options:
You can enable or disable any previous 4 hour close line
You can change all line sizes
You can change all line colors. I do apologize if it's inconvenient that I've defaulted the lines to different colors.
I've limited the visibility to only periods below 60 minutes-- but and maybe there is a better way to do this (if so please share). The limit is based on the most common periods below 60: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 12, 15, and 30.
Will most likely release the 240 and 30-minute version of this I have on a few charts.
A simple double moving average system# This simple code is describing the double moving average system, thanks for the contribution of Lei and jchang264
# The moving average system is including the SMA(20,60,120) and EMA(20,60,120), which use the different colours and style
# The bar is using the different colours to describe the different state, for example the black one mean the season of the trendy didn't form, the blue mean to reach the first phase of the trendy, the state of gray bar just between the black and blue, The gold one mean the season of the trend has already forming (SMA20 > SMA60 > SMA120), which one I think it is important.
# Price mark mean the deduction price of 20, 60 and 120

can be apply to any time frame . can be apply to any asset
all you have to do is to follow the colors (red =sell, green=buy)
the system is my modification to fibs system in order to make it more accurate
here is example of setting for 5 min chart
the color determine by cross of the median of high and low
the script try to give us more accurate levels of resistance and support levels especially when we do it in lower TF
the Min is the control need to be same or higher then chart

VPoC per barThis study prints the current bar VPoC as an horizontal line.
It's aimed originally at BTCUSDT pair and 15m timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
Zoom In mode: This is the default mode.
The study zooms in into the latest 15 1-minute bar candles in order to calculate the 15 minute candle VPoC.
Zoom Out mode: The VPoC from the last n bars from the current timeframe that match desired timeframe is shown on each bar.
In either case you are recommended to click on the '...' button associated to this study
and select 'Visual Order. Bring to Front.' so that it's properly shown in your chart.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom In mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to true.
Choose the zoomed in timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting.
Change '(VP) Zoomed in timeframe bars per current timeframe bar {15}' to its appropiated value. You just need to divide the current timeframe minutes per the zoomed in timeframe minutes per bar. E.g. If you are in 60 minute timeframe and you want to zoom in into 5 minute timeframe: 60 / 5 = 12 . You will write 12 here.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom Out mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to false.
If you are using the Zoom out mode you might want to set '(VP) Print VPoC price as discrete lines {True}' to false.
Either choose the zoommed out timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting or turn on the '(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' setting in order to use '(VP) Number of bars {100}' as a custom number of bars.
WARNING - Zoom In mode last bar
The way that PineScript handles security function in last bar might result on the last bar not being accurate enough.
SETTINGS

Traders Dynamic Index(RSI) w/ Bull&Bear Control ZonesMomentum (RSI) is one of the most commonly used indicators for trading, but the vast majority of traders who use it, simply apply it as an oscillator to measure overbought and oversold conditions. However, momentum is much more complex than that and using a basic RSI fails to highlight these complexities.
What this highlights are some of the areas/zones that many people may not even know about or are unaware what the RSI can actually reveal about a particular trend.
What this indicator is showing:
Fast moving RSI (Green) - 1 period
Slow moving RSI (Red) - 9 period
Bollinger Bands
Relative Strength: 1 - 100
Bearish Control Zone: 30(Below) - 45
Bullish Control Zone: 60 - 70 (Above)
How this identifies trends:
Bear Market(Bearish Control Zone):
-Support: 20(Below) - 30
-Resistance: 55 - 65
-Momentum will test resistance but will fail to hold support at 50
Bull Market(Bullish Control Zone):
-Support: 45 - 50
-Resistance: 80 - 90(Above)
-Momentum will test support but will not continue past the 45 support
How this identifies reversals:
If a market is bullish, but loses support at 45 and tests 30, it has begun reversal. If a market is bearish, but breaks 60 and tests 70, it has begun reversal.
-A bull market reversal is confirmed if it finds resistance at 60 after testing bearish support
-A bear market reversal is confirmed if it finds support at 50 after testing bullish resistance
Slow & Fast RSI w/ Boll Bands:
-The Slow and Fast RSI crossovers will act as Intermediate trends within the Macro trend - Fast crosses slow, bullish. Slow cross fast, bearish.
-Use in confluence with the Macro trend.
-While under Bearish Control, the Slow RSI will act as resistance for the Fast RSI.
-While under Bullish Control, the Slow RSI will act as support for the Fast RSI.
-The two will have an impulsive crossover when the Macro trend reverses.
-The Bollinger Bands will act as a volatility gauge for potential approaching tests of Support & Resistances. (Expansions & Contractions)
This is an analog of TDIGM (GoldMinds)
-Added Bullish/Bearish Control Zones.
-Changed Fast RSI to Green and Slow RSI to Red.
Simple Harmonic Oscillator (SHO)The indicator is based on Akram El Sherbini's article "Time Cycle Oscillators" published in IFTA journal 2018 (pages 78-80) (www.ftaa.org.hk)
The SHO is a bounded oscillator for the simple harmonic index that calculates the period of the market’s cycle. The oscillator is used for short and intermediate terms and moves within a range of -100 to 100 percent. The SHO has overbought and oversold levels at +40 and -40, respectively. At extreme periods, the oscillator may reach the levels of +60 and -60. The zero level demonstrates an equilibrium between the periods of bulls and bears. The SHO oscillates between +40 and -40. The crossover at those levels creates buy and sell signals. In an uptrend, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and +40 where the bulls are controlling the market. On the contrary, the SHO fluctuates between 0 and -40 during downtrends where the bears control the market. Reaching the extreme level -60 in an uptrend is a sign of weakness. Mostly, the oscillator will retrace from its centerline rather than the upper boundary +40. On the other hand, reaching +60 in a downtrend is a sign of strength and the oscillator will not be able to reach its lower boundary -40.
Centerline Crossover Tactic
This tactic is tested during uptrends. The buy signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross their centerlines to the upside. The sell signals are generated when the WPO/SHI cross down their centerlines. To define the uptrend in the system, stocks closing above their 50-day EMA are considered while the ADX is above 18.
Uptrend Tactic
During uptrends, the bulls control the markets, and the oscillators will move above their centerline with an increase in the period of cycles. The lower boundaries and equilibrium line crossovers generate buy signals, while crossing the upper boundaries will generate sell signals. The “Re-entry” and “Exit at weakness” tactics are combined with the uptrend tactic. Consequently, we will have three buy signals and two sell signals.
Sideways Tactic
During sideways, the oscillators fluctuate between their upper and lower boundaries. Crossing the lower boundary to the upside will generate a buy signal. On the other hand, crossing the upper boundary to the downside will generate a sell signal. When the bears take control, the oscillators will cross down the lower boundaries, triggering exit signals. Therefore, this tactic will consist of one buy signal and two sell signals. The sideway tactic is defined when stocks close above their 50-day EMA and the ADX is below 18
Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com
For info on Market Profile and Market Auction Theory: Jim Dalton's book Mind over markets (this is a MUST)
BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.
FEATURES
- 6 key values for each session: POC (solid yellow), VAH (solid red), VAL (solid green), profile HIGH (dashed silver), LOW (dashed silver) and MID (dotted silver) levels
- 3 sessions to choose for: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL
- select the numbers of sessions to plot by adding 12 hours periods back in time
- show/hide POC
- show/hide VAH & VAL
- show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID levels
- highlight the periods of time out of the session (silver)
- extend the plotted lines all the way to the right, be careful this can turn the chart unreadable if there are a lot of sessions and lines plotted
SETTINGS
- Session: select between RTH (8:30 to 15:15 CT), GLOBEX (17:00 to 8:30 CT) and FULL (17:00 to 15:15 CT) sessions. RTH by default
- Last 12 hour periods to show: select the deph of the study by adding periods, for example, 60 periods are 30 natural days and around 22 trading days. 1 period by default
- Show POC (Point of Control): show/hide POC line. true by default
- Show VA (Value Area High & Low): show/hide VAH & VAL lines. true by default
- Show Range (Session High, Low & Mid): show/hide session HIGH, LOW & MID lines. true by default
- Highlight out of session: show/hide a silver shadow over the non session periods. true by default
- Extension: Extend all the plotted lines to the right. false by default
HOW TO SETUP
BE AWARE THIS INDICATOR PLOTS ONLY IN THE FOLLOWING CHART RESOLUTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 AND 30 MINUTES CHARTS. YOU MUST SELECT ONE OF THIS RESOLUTIONS TO THE INDICATOR BE ABLE TO PLOT
- By default this indicator plots all the levels for the last RTH session within the last 12 hours, if there is no plot try to adjust the 12 hours periods until the seesion and the periods match
- For Globex/Full sessions just select what you want from the dropdown menu and adjust the periods to plot the values
- Show or hide the levels you want with the 3 groups: POC line, VA lines and Session Range lines
- The highlight and extension options are for a better visibility of the levels as POC or VAH/VAL
THANKS TO
@watsonexchange for all the help, ideas and insights on this and the last two indicators (Market Delta & Market Internals) I'm working on my way to a 'clean chart' but for me it's not an easy path
@PineCoders for all the amazing stuff they do and all the help and tools they provide, in special the Script-Stopwatch at that was key in lowering this indicator's execution time
All the TV and Pine community, open source and shared knowledge are indeed the best way to help each other
IF YOU REALLY LIKE THIS WORK, please send me a comment or a private message and TELL ME WHAT you trade, HOW you trade it and your FAVOURITE SETUP for pulling out money from the market in a consistent basis, I'm learning to trade (this is my 2nd year) and I need all the help I can get
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TRADING
lsi (study about length and MTF) Here in this example I took lazy bear famous momentum squeeze indicator . the problem that there is lagging in the indicator so the buy and sell will be late . So instead the KC length that the original script had we put
int1=input(30)
int2=input(60)
lengthKC=isintraday and interval >= int1 ? int2/interval * 7 : isintraday and interval < 60 ? 60/interval * 24 * 7 : 7
this allow us to create a time and length related function to indicator and result in better output with no lagging
The second and most important thing is the ability to create indicator with time function as MTF without the security function that create repaint
all you need to do is to change int2 (to the time min of your choice ) and you can create an indicator with MTF function without the security function .And by this hopefully avoid the repainting issue
when you use this indicator change the setting of int1 and int 2 according to time frame that you use
lets say 15 min graph
make the int1 <15 min and the int2 at 15 min. if you want to see it as MTF just increase the int2 to the time set of your choice and play little with int1 to best setting

Build A Bot Hull TriggerThis is the automated trading system we built during the 60-Minute Build-A-Bot webinar on September 12, 2018. We had a lot of fun, and implemented a TON of indicators LIVE during this webinar! And the best part is that as a group we researched, designed, and built a profitable robot in exactly 60 minutes!
We started by voting on the type of trading system, and this is a trend following system because it got the most votes. Then, the attendees in the webinar sent in their suggestions for indicators and settings during the live webinar (still counting toward the 60 minutes). Once we had the indicators on the chart, and we discussed various settings we could use, we got to work building the robot, and ran the first strategy test...and it was profitable!
This version uses the Hull Moving Average as a trigger for initiating the trade, and everything else is the same for the filters. The other version uses the CCI as a trigger for the trade, and many other indicators as filters.
Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone IndicatorVolume Zone Indicator (VZO) and Price Zone Indicator (PZO) are by Waleed Aly Khalil.
Volume Zone Indicator (VZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
VZO is a leading volume oscillator that evaluates volume in relation to the direction of the net price change on each bar.
A value of 40 or above shows bullish accumulation. Low values (< 40) are bearish. Near zero or between +/- 20, the market is either in consolidation or near a break out. When VZO is near +/- 60, an end to the bull/bear run should be expected soon. If that run has been opposite to the long term price trend direction, then a reversal often will occur.
Traditional way of looking at this also works:
* +/- 40 levels are overbought / oversold
* +/- 60 levels are extreme overbought / oversold
More info:
drive.google.com
Price Zone Indicator (PZO)
------------------------------------------------------------
PZO is interpreted the same way as VZO (same formula with "close" substituted for "volume").
Chart Markings
------------------------------------------------------------
In the chart above,
* The red circles indicate a run-end (or reversal) zones (VZO +/- 60).
* Blue rectangle shows the consolidation zone (VZO betwen +/- 20)
I have been trying out VZO only for a week now, but I think this has lot of potential. Give it a try, let me know what you think.
SJ WaveTrendWaveTrend Indicator – Full English Brief for TradingView
Description:
The WaveTrend Oscillator (WT) is a momentum-based indicator originally developed by LazyBear, designed to identify overbought and oversold market conditions with high precision. It is conceptually similar to the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator but uses a wave-based mathematical approach to detect turning points in price action earlier and more smoothly.
⸻
🔍 How It Works
WaveTrend analyzes the difference between price and its moving average (typically the exponential moving average of the Typical Price).
It then applies multiple layers of smoothing to filter out noise and produce two oscillating lines — WT1 (fast) and WT2 (slow).
The crossing points between WT1 and WT2 are used to identify momentum shifts:
• When WT1 crosses above WT2 from below the oversold zone → Bullish signal
• When WT1 crosses below WT2 from above the overbought zone → Bearish signal
⸻
⚙️ Core Formula Concept
The WaveTrend calculation typically follows this process:
1. Compute the Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
2. Calculate the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of TP over a short length
3. Determine the Raw Wave (ESA) and De-trended Price Oscillator (DPO)
4. Apply double smoothing to produce the final WT1 and WT2 values
These smoothed waves behave like energy waves that expand and contract based on market volatility — hence the name WaveTrend.
⸻
📈 Interpretation
• Overbought Zone: WT values above +60 to +70
• Oversold Zone: WT values below -60 to -70
• Crossovers: WT1 crossing WT2 signals a potential trend reversal
• Divergence: When price makes a new high/low but WT does not, it signals momentum weakening
⸻
🧠 Trading Insights
• Best used on higher timeframes (H1 and above) for trend confirmation, and on lower timeframes (M15–M30) for precise entries.
• Combine with ADX, EMA Cloud, or Volume Filters to confirm real momentum shifts and avoid false signals.
• You can highlight WT Diff (WT1 - WT2) to visualize momentum expansion and contraction; large positive or negative differences often precede strong reversals.

Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator by YCGH Capital🧭 Overview
The Renko ATR Trend + SMA Indicator is a trend-following tool designed for chart trading.
It combines Renko-style price movement logic (based on ATR) with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter to identify sustained bullish or bearish phases on any timeframe.
It plots a color-coded trend line directly on the price chart — green for bullish trends, red for bearish — and maintains a single active state (no repeated buy/sell signals) until the opposite condition appears.
⚙️ How It Works
1️⃣ Renko ATR Engine
Instead of using fixed box sizes like classic Renko charts, this indicator builds synthetic Renko movement based on ATR (Average True Range) of a chosen timeframe.
It pulls OHLC data from your selected Renko Source Timeframe (for example, 60-minute candles).
It calculates an ATR brick size — representing the minimum price move needed for a new Renko brick.
When price moves by at least one ATR in the opposite direction, it flips the trend.
This filters out small fluctuations and captures the underlying directional bias.
2️⃣ SMA Filter
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) acts as a trend confirmation filter.
Only when Renko direction aligns with the price relative to the SMA, a trend signal activates.
BUY → Renko uptrend + price above SMA
SELL → Renko downtrend + price below SMA
3️⃣ Stateful Signal Logic
Unlike typical indicators that spam multiple buy/sell shapes:
This version holds one persistent signal (Buy or Sell)
The state continues until an opposite signal is confirmed
No “continuation” arrows — clean and minimal trend visualization
🎨 Visuals
Element Meaning
🟩 Green Renko Line Active Bullish Trend
🟥 Red Renko Line Active Bearish Trend
⚪ Gray Line Neutral / Waiting phase
🟡 Yellow Line SMA (trend filter)
📍 Label (Buy Active / Sell Active) Displays the current market bias
🔧 Inputs
Input Description
Renko Source Timeframe The timeframe from which Renko data is calculated (e.g., 60 = 1h candles).
ATR Period Determines brick size sensitivity (lower = more responsive, higher = smoother).
SMA Length Moving Average length used as a directional filter.
💡 How Traders Use It
Trend Confirmation:
Use green/red Renko line to stay aligned with the dominant market move.
Entry Timing:
Enter trades when a new Renko direction is confirmed along with SMA alignment.
Exit or Reverse:
Exit long when a red line (Sell Active) appears, and vice versa.
Combine with Price Action:
Add support/resistance or volume analysis for confirmation.
Dual ORB (EU/US) + VWAP + Filters (Retest/EMA/ATR/RVOL)Release Notes — Dual ORB (EU & US) + Color VWAP
Summary
This script plots two configurable Opening Range Breakouts (ORB)—one for the European open and one for the US open—along with a color-adaptive VWAP (green above price, red below). It’s designed for M5/M15 intraday trading on indices (e.g., US100) and metals (e.g., XAUUSD), with clean visuals, optional history retention, and simple breakout cues.
New & Key Features
Dual ORB Sessions
EU ORB (default 07:00) and US ORB (default 14:00).
Each session’s start time and duration are configurable (15/30/45/60 min).
Automatic OR box that tracks the session high/low and freezes at the end of the window.
Configurable Time Zone
Choose a specific UTC offset or an IANA time zone (e.g., Europe/Paris, America/New_York) for precise session timing.
“Exchange” option mirrors the chart’s exchange time when available.
Targets (1× Range by default)
First upside/downside target plotted as a step line once the OR closes (based on a % of the OR width).
Separate % settings per session (EU/US).
Breakout Signals
Optional ▲ / ▼ markers when price crosses ORH/ORL after the OR window closes.
Adjustable signal size and colors.
Color-Adaptive VWAP
VWAP plotted for the whole session; green when price ≥ VWAP, red when price < VWAP.
Single slider for VWAP line thickness and a toggle to show/hide.
Clean Visuals & History Control
Option to preserve historical boxes/lines/labels, or auto-clean previous sessions when a new OR starts.
Per-session colors for the OR lines, fills, labels.
Configuration
General
Show History: Keep OR drawings from prior sessions or clear them automatically.
Time Zone: Pick Exchange or a specific UTC/IANA zone.
ORB Europe / ORB US
Start Time (HH:MM)
Duration: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes.
Target %: Distance for the first target as a % of the OR range.
Colors: Line and fill per session.
Signals
Enable Breakout Signals
Up/Down Colors
Text Size: Tiny → Huge.
VWAP
Show/Hide
Line Width
Visual Elements
OR Box: Semi-transparent fill during the window; locks at end.
OR Levels: ORH / ORL solid lines; ORM dashed.
Target Lines: Step lines above/below after OR closes.
Signal Labels: ▲ at ORL (bull break), ▼ at ORH (bear break).
VWAP Line: Turns green/red with price relation.
Alerts (baseline)
Signal labels visually indicate ORH/ORL breaks. (You can add alertconditions to match these crossings if you want audible/Push alerts.)
Performance & Compatibility
Pine v6.
Intraday only (< 1D). The script aborts on daily or higher timeframes to avoid misleading OR timing.
Efficient drawing & clean-up to reduce line/label count.
Known Limitations
The script relies on bar timestamps; exact alignment depends on chart data and your chosen time zone
If your broker/exchange applies session gaps or custom trading hours, verify that your time zone and session align with the instrument.
Suggested Workflow
Pick your time zone.
Set EU/US start times and durations to match your plan (e.g., EU 07:00 30m, US 14:00 30m).
Choose whether to keep history.
Toggle signals and VWAP as desired.
Use ORH/ORL and the first target as decision levels; combine with your filter (trend MA, RSI, market structure, etc.).
Changelog (high-level)
v1.
Added dual configurable ORB (EU & US).
Added per-session targets (percent of OR width).
Added color-adaptive VWAP + width control.
Added breakout signals with customizable size and colors.
Added time zone selector (Exchange, UTC, IANA).
Added history on/off option and improved object lifecycle (clean-up vs persist).
Ported to Pine v6 and hardened against repainting artifacts at session edges.

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking

HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:
- "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry
- "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal)
- "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short
IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom):
- Blue line = Primary timeframe STC
- Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional)
- Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram
- Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones
- Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red)
INFO TABLE (top-right corner):
Shows real-time status:
- STC values for both timeframes
- Force Index direction
- Price position vs EMA
- Current trend direction
- Active signal type

TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable

ALERTS CONFIGURATION
The indicator includes 8 alert types:
Individual setup alerts:
- "Setup A - LONG" / "Setup A - SHORT"
- "Setup B - DIV LONG" / "Setup B - DIV SHORT" ⭐ recommended
- "Setup C - BOUNCE LONG" / "Setup C - BOUNCE SHORT"
Combined alerts:
- "ANY LONG" — fires on any long signal
- "ANY SHORT" — fires on any short signal
Recommended alert setup:
- Create "Setup B - DIV LONG" and "Setup B - DIV SHORT" alerts
- These are the highest probability signals
- Set "Once Per Bar Close" to avoid false alerts

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume
