Dumb Money Flow - Retail Panic & FOMO# Dumb Money Flow (DMF) - Retail Panic & FOMO
## 🌊 Overview
**Dumb Money Flow (DMF)** is a powerful **contrarian indicator** designed to track the emotional state of the retail "herd." It identifies moments of extreme **Panic** (irrational selling) and **FOMO** (irrational buying) by analyzing on-chain data, volume anomalies, and price velocity.
In crypto markets, retail traders often buy the top (FOMO) and sell the bottom (Panic). This indicator helps you do the opposite: **Buy when the herd is fearful, and Sell when the herd is greedy.**
---
## 🧠 How It Works
The indicator combines multiple data points into a single **Sentiment Index** (0-100), normalized over a 90-day period to ensure it always uses the full range of the chart.
### 1. Panic Index (Bearish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of capitulation and fear. High values contribute to the **Panic Zone**.
* **Exchange Inflows:** Spikes in funds moving to exchanges (preparing to sell).
* **Volume Spikes:** High volume during price drops (panic selling).
* **Price Crash (ROC):** Rapid, emotional price drops over 3 days.
* **Volatility (ATR):** High market nervousness and instability.
### 2. FOMO Index (Bullish Sentiment)
Tracks signs of euphoria and greed. High values contribute to the **FOMO Zone**.
* **Exchange Outflows:** Funds moving to cold storage (HODLing/Greed).
* **Profitable Addresses:** When >90% of holders are in profit, tops often form.
* **Parabolic Rise:** Rapid, unsustainable price increases.
---
## 🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator uses a distinct color scheme to highlight extremes:
* **🟢 Dark Green Zone (> 80): Extreme FOMO**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is euphoric. Risk of a correction is high.
* **Action:** Consider taking profits or looking for short entries.
* **🔴 Dark Burgundy Zone (< 20): Extreme Panic**
* **Meaning:** The crowd is capitulating. Prices may be oversold.
* **Action:** Look for buying opportunities (catching the knife with confirmation).
* **🔵 Light Blue Line:**
* The smoothed moving average of the sentiment, helpful for seeing the trend direction.
---
## 🛠️ How to Use (Trading Strategies)
### 1. Contrarian Reversals (The Primary Strategy)
* **Buy Signal:** Wait for the line to drop deep into the **Burgundy Panic Zone (< 20)** and then start curling up. This indicates that the worst of the selling pressure is over.
* **Sell Signal:** Wait for the line to spike into the **Green FOMO Zone (> 80)** and then start curling down. This suggests buying exhaustion.
### 2. Divergences
* **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes a **Lower Low**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Higher Low** (less panic on the second drop). This is a strong reversal signal.
* **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes a **Higher High**, but the DMF Indicator makes a **Lower High** (less FOMO/buying power on the second peak).
### 3. Trend Confirmation (Midline Cross)
* **Crossing 50 Up:** Sentiment is shifting from Fear to Greed (Bullish).
* **Crossing 50 Down:** Sentiment is shifting from Greed to Fear (Bearish).
---
## ⚙️ Settings
* **Data Source:** Defaults to `INTOTHEBLOCK` for on-chain data.
* **Crypto Asset:** Auto-detects BTC/ETH, but can be forced.
* **Normalization Period:** Default 90 days. Determines the "window" for defining what is considered "Extreme" relative to recent history.
* **Weights:** You can customize how much each factor (Volume, Inflows, Price) contributes to the index.

Elastic Volume-Weighted Momentum 🔥Elastic Volume-Weighted Momentum (EVWM) is a hybrid oscillator that measures the "force" of a price move by combining distance from the mean (elasticity) with relative trading volume. Unlike standard momentum indicators that only look at price speed, EVWM assumes that volume is the fuel for sustainable trends.
The indicator calculates a baseline (default: Hull Moving Average) and measures how far price stretches away from it, normalized by market volatility (ATR). This "elasticity" is then multiplied by a Volume Factor. The result is a histogram and signal line that distinguishes between high-conviction moves (high volume) and weak speculation (low volume).
How to Use
The EVWM is designed to filter false breakouts and identify mean-reversion opportunities through three distinct signal types:
1. Ignition Signals (Triangles) These occur when the momentum breaks outside the standard deviation bands with high volume.
Signal: Yellow Triangles.
Interpretation: This represents a valid breakout. The market has stretched away from the average with significant participation. This is often a signal to enter in the direction of the breakout.
2. Zombie Signals (X Marks) These occur when the momentum breaks outside the bands with low volume.
Signal: Grey "X".
Interpretation: This is a "fakeout" or a trap. The price moved, but there is no volume supporting it. Traders should exercise caution or consider fading the move, as it lacks the energy to sustain the trend.
3. Snap-Back Signals (Circles) These occur when the momentum line returns inside the bands after being overextended.
Signal: Red/Green Circles.
Interpretation: The "rubber band" is snapping back. This is a classic mean-reversion signal, often used to take profits on an existing position or to enter a counter-trend trade targeting the baseline.
4. Divergences The indicator includes an optional feature to detect discrepancies between price action and momentum.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but EVWM makes a lower high.
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but EVWM makes a higher low. These patterns often precede a trend reversal.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Length: Controls the speed of the indicator. Use lower values (21) for scalping and higher values (50+) for swing trading.
Baseline Type: Selects the moving average used as the center of gravity. "Hull MA" is the default for its responsiveness, while "SMA" offers a smoother, slower baseline.
Trend Filter: A safety mechanism that checks a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or Daily). If enabled, the indicator will block "Buy" signals if the higher timeframe trend is bearish, helping traders stay on the right side of the market.
Volume Threshold: Adjusts what defines "High Volume." Increasing this value makes "Ignition" signals rarer but potentially more reliable.
Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
🔥 DarkPool's Fear & Greed v4 🔥DarkPool Fear & Greed v4 is a composite sentiment indicator designed to gauge market psychology in real-time. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on a single metric, this tool aggregates data from four distinct technical sources—RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Averages—to create a unified "Index Score" ranging from 0 to 100.
Beyond general sentiment, the script employs custom algorithms to detect specific market anomalies, including sustainable buying pressure (FOMO), capitulation events (Panic), and trend reversals (Divergences).
Key Features
Composite Index: A weighted average of Momentum, Trend, Volatility, and Price Location.
Anomaly Detection: Specialized logic to flag high-momentum "FOMO" events and high-volatility "Panic" drops.
Divergences: Automatically spots bearish and bullish discrepancies between the sentiment index and price action.
Live Dashboard: A real-time data table displaying current sentiment zones, intensity scores, and volume ratios.
How to Use
1. The Fear & Greed Index The main oscillator line moves between 0 and 100 to visualize market sentiment:
0-20 (Extreme Fear): Deeply oversold; potential capitulation or buying opportunity.
20-40 (Fear): General bearish sentiment.
40-60 (Neutral): Indecisive market.
60-80 (Greed): General bullish sentiment.
80-100 (Extreme Greed): Overbought conditions; potential for a pullback.
2. Visual Signals
FOMO (Triangle Up): Marks candles with excessive buying volume and RSI momentum.
Panic (Triangle Down): Marks candles with sharp percentage drops and volatility spikes.
Divergences (Circles): distinct markers appear when price action contradicts the sentiment index, often signaling a reversal.
3. The Dashboard Located on the chart, the dashboard provides a snapshot of the current market state, including the specific "Intensity" of FOMO or Panic events and a Volume-to-MA ratio to gauge participation.
4. Alerts The script is fully integrated with the alert system. You can set alerts for "Any alert() function call" to receive dynamic notifications for FOMO detections, Panic drops, Extreme Zone entries, and confirmed Divergences.

HD Trades📊 ICT Confluence Toolkit (FVG, OB, SMT)
This All-in-One indicator is designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders, providing visual confirmation and signaling for three critical Inner Circle Trader (ICT) tools directly on your chart: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), and Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence.
It eliminates the need to load multiple indicators, streamlining your analysis for high-probability setups.
🔑 Key Features
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Automatic Detection: Instantly highlights bullish (buy-side) and bearish (sell-side) imbalances using the standard three-candle pattern.
Real-Time Mitigation: Gaps are drawn until price trades into the FVG zone, at which point the indicator automatically "mitigates" and removes the box, ensuring your chart stays clean.
2. Order Blocks (OB)
Impulse-Based Logic: Identifies valid Order Blocks (the last opposing candle) confirmed by a strong, structure-breaking impulse move, quantified using an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier for dynamic sensitivity.
Mitigation Tracking: Bullish OBs are tracked until broken below the low, and Bearish OBs until broken above the high, distinguishing between active supply/demand zones.
3. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique)
Multi-Asset Comparison: Utilizes the Pine Script request.security() function to compare the swing structure of the current chart against a correlated asset (e.g., EURUSD vs. GBPUSD, or ES vs. NQ).
Signal Labels: Plots clear 🐂 SMT (Bullish) or 🐻 SMT (Bearish) labels directly on the chart when a divergence in market extremes is detected, signaling a potential reversal or continuation based on internal market weakness.
⚙️ Customization
All three components are toggleable and feature customizable colors and lookback periods, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your specific trading strategy and preferred timeframes.
Crucial Setup: For SMT Divergence to function, you must enter a correlated symbol (e.g., NQ1!, ES1!, or a related Forex pair) in the indicator settings.
Advanced VolumeAdvanced Volume is a modular volume analysis suite designed to uncover hidden buying and selling pressure that standard volume bars often miss. Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple oscillators, this tool combines five institutional metrics—Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), Volume RSI, Relative Volume (RVOL), and Volume Oscillator—into a single, adaptive pane.
The script features a "Hero Metric" system, allowing you to choose which oscillator is visualized on the chart, while an intelligent dashboard monitors the remaining metrics in the background to generate a composite "Total" market bias score.
Key Features
5-in-1 Architecture: Switch the main view between CMF, MFI, Volume RSI, RVOL, or Volume Oscillator without removing the indicator.
Divergence Engine: Automatically detects and labels bullish and bearish discrepancies between price action and the selected volume metric.
Hidden Liquidity Detection: Identifies "Churn" candles—specifically Dojis with unusually high relative volume—often signaling absorption or a potential reversal.
Live Dashboard: A real-time table displaying the status of all five metrics simultaneously, culminating in an aggregate Bullish/Bearish/Neutral score.
How to Use
1. The Hero Metric (Main Oscillator) By default, the indicator displays Chaikin Money Flow (CMF).
Green Bars: Buying pressure (Inflow).
Red Bars: Selling pressure (Outflow).
Customization: You can change this in the settings to MFI, Volume RSI, or RVOL depending on your trading style.
2. Divergence Signals The script looks for pivot points where price and volume disagree.
Bullish Div (Label Up): Price makes a lower low, but volume momentum makes a higher low. This suggests selling exhaustion.
Bearish Div (Label Down): Price makes a higher high, but volume momentum makes a lower high. This suggests weak buying conviction.
3. Hidden Liquidity (Yellow Diamonds) Small yellow diamond markers appear above candles when a specific condition is met: The candle is a Doji (indecision) BUT Relative Volume is extremely high (default > 2.0x average). This indicates a battle between buyers and sellers where significant volume was exchanged with zero net price movement—often a sign of a localized top or bottom.
4. The Dashboard Located on the chart, this panel provides a summary of the broader market health:
Money Flow: Tracks CMF status.
MFI: Checks for Overbought (>80) or Oversold (<20) conditions.
Rel Vol: Displays the current volume multiplier (e.g., 2.5x).
Vs VWAP: Checks if the price is above or below the Volume Weighted Average Price.
TOTAL: Sums up the signals from all metrics to give a final trend bias (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral).

UM Nadaraya-Watson OscillatorDescription
This is a different take on the Nadaraya-Watson Estimator from both Jdhorty and LuxAlgo. Both great scripts, I encourage everyone to check them out. Think of this script as a measure of trend direction, direction change, and trend acceleration or deceleration. It is not a Moving Average, but you could think of it as loosely as an intelligent adaptive regression curve with the focus on trend direction. The Gaussian calculations prefer and add more weight to the most recent bars. The end result is the oscillator is more responsive with less lag and less prone to pure price noise.
How it Works
The indicator was added to the chart twice; once with an MA, once without. The oscillator indicates trend change by crossing up through the zero line or down through the zero line. Once the indicator turns positive, we are in a positive trend until it crosses below zero and then the trend turns negative. I implemented a Moving Average overlay for additional signal determination; if the configured MA (EMA, SMA, WMA, or Nadaraya-Watson Estimator) trends higher, it is green. When trending down, it is red. The indicator also changes the color of the price bars; when the indicator below zero and red, the price bars are red. When the indicator is above zero and green, the price bars are green.
I marked up the chart and indicator to identify LONG, SHORT, and divergences between price and oscillator.
Default Settings
The default settings are 16 for Bandwidth and a WMA with 110. This is shown in the chart example. There directional arrows, but they are off by default. The Price bars are colored green or red to match the oscillator and the bar coloring is on by default.
All settings are user-configurable including bandwidth, MA type, MA length, bar coloring, and arrows.
Suggested Settings and uses
I personally like the 30 min chart with a bandwidth of 16 and a WMA of 110. The bandwidth 8 and 8 period EMA or WMA also work well on 6 hour and daily charts. Add this to your chart arsenal and use your favorite indicators for confirmation. This indicator works well on the 30 minute chart for inverse ETFs as well (SQQQ, SOXS, TZA). Also, the oscillator is good for identifying divergences between price and and indicator. (see chart for illustration)
Experiment with settings and adapt them to your trading style.
Alerts
If you right click the indicator, and select add alert, I have configured 4 standard alerts: A bullish cross above zero, A bearish cross below zero, An MA bullish turned up to trend higher, (green), and an MA bearish turned down to trend lower (red).
WaveTrend With Divs & RSI(STOCH) Divs by WeloTradesWaveTrend with Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences by WeloTrades
Overview
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" is an advanced Pine Script™ indicator designed for TradingView, offering a multi-dimensional analysis of market conditions. This script integrates several technical indicators—WaveTrend, Money Flow Index (MFI), RSI, and Stochastic RSI—into a cohesive tool that identifies both regular and hidden divergences across these indicators. These divergences can indicate potential market reversals and provide critical trading opportunities.
This indicator is not just a simple combination of popular tools; it offers extensive customization options, organized data presentation, and valuable trading signals that are easy to interpret. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this script enhances your ability to make informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness
The originality of this script lies in its integration and the synergy it creates among the indicators used. Rather than merely combining multiple indicators, this script allows them to work together, enhancing each other's strengths. For example, by identifying divergences across WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI simultaneously, the script provides multiple layers of confirmation, which reduces the likelihood of false signals and increases the reliability of trading signals.
The usefulness of this script is apparent in its ability to offer a consolidated view of market dynamics. It not only simplifies the analytical process by combining different indicators but also provides deeper insights through its divergence detection features. This comprehensive approach is designed to help traders identify potential market reversals, confirm trends, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
How the Components Work Together
1. Cross-Validation of Signals
WaveTrend: This indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential buy and sell signals. WaveTrend's ability to smooth price data and reduce noise makes it a reliable tool for identifying trend reversals.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: These momentum oscillators are used to measure the speed and change of price movements. While RSI identifies general overbought and oversold conditions, Stochastic RSI offers a more granular view by tracking the RSI’s level relative to its high-low range over a period of time. When these indicators align with WaveTrend signals, it adds a layer of confirmation that enhances the reliability of the signals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): This volume-weighted indicator assesses the inflow and outflow of money in an asset, giving insights into buying and selling pressure. By analyzing the MFI alongside WaveTrend and RSI indicators, the script can cross-validate signals, ensuring that buy or sell signals are supported by actual market volume.
Example Bullish scenario:
When a bullish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bullish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an increasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
Example Bearish scenario:
When a bearish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bearish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an decreasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
2. Divergence Detection and Market Reversals
Regular Divergences: Occur when the price action and an indicator (like RSI or WaveTrend) move in opposite directions. Regular bullish divergence signals a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Conversely, regular bearish divergence suggests a downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences: These occur when the price action and indicator move in the same direction, but with different momentum. Hidden bullish divergence suggests the continuation of an uptrend, while hidden bearish divergence suggests the continuation of a downtrend. By detecting these divergences across multiple indicators, the script identifies potential trend reversals or continuations with greater accuracy.
Example: The script might detect a regular bullish divergence on the WaveTrend while simultaneously identifying a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. This combination suggests that while a trend reversal is possible, the overall market sentiment remains bullish, providing a nuanced view of the market.

A Hidden Bullish Divergence Example:
A Regular Bearish Divergence Example:
A Hidden Bearish Divergence Example:
3. Trend Strength and Sentiment Analysis
WaveTrend: Measures the strength and direction of the trend. By identifying the extremes of market sentiment (overbought and oversold levels), WaveTrend provides early signals for potential reversals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Assesses the underlying sentiment by analyzing the flow of money. A rising MFI during an uptrend confirms strong buying pressure, while a falling MFI during a downtrend confirms selling pressure. This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: Offer a momentum-based perspective on the trend’s strength. High RSI or Stochastic RSI values indicate that the asset may be overbought, suggesting a potential reversal. Conversely, low values indicate oversold conditions, signaling a possible upward reversal.
Example:
During a strong uptrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal overbought conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows decreasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Example:
During a strong downtrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal oversold conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows increasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Conclusion
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" script offers a powerful, integrated approach to technical analysis by combining trend, momentum, and sentiment indicators into a single tool. Its unique value lies in the cross-validation of signals, the ability to detect divergences, and the comprehensive view it provides of market conditions. By offering traders multiple layers of analysis and customization options, this script is designed to enhance trading decisions, reduce false signals, and provide clearer insights into market dynamics.

Display of RSI Setting:
RSI Indicator Explanation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market, providing traders with potential signals for buying or selling.
RSI Input Settings:
RSI Source: Default: Close
What it is: The data source used for calculating the RSI.
What it does: Determines which price data (e.g., close, open) is used in the RSI calculation, affecting how the indicator reflects market conditions.
Example: Using the closing price is standard practice, as it reflects the final agreed-upon price for a given time period.
MA Type (Moving Average Type): Default: SMA
What it is: The type of moving average applied to the RSI for smoothing purposes.
What it does: Changes the smoothing technique of the RSI, impacting how quickly the indicator responds to price movements.
Example: Using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) will make the RSI more sensitive to recent price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA).
RSI Length: Default: 14
What it is: The period over which the RSI is calculated.
What it does: Adjusts the sensitivity of the RSI. A shorter length (e.g., 7) makes the RSI more responsive to recent price changes, while a longer length (e.g., 21) smooths out the indicator, reducing the number of signals.
Example: A 14-period RSI is commonly used for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, providing a balance between sensitivity and reliability.
RSI Plot Style, Width, and Color:
What it is: Options to customize the appearance of the RSI line on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to adjust the visual representation of the RSI, including the line width and color.
Example: Setting a thicker line width and a bright color like yellow can make the RSI more visible on the chart, aiding in quick analysis.

RSI Moving Average Explanation
The RSI Moving Average adds a smoothing layer to the RSI, helping to filter out noise and provide clearer signals. It is particularly useful for confirming trend strength and identifying potential reversals.
RSI Moving Average Input Settings:
MA Length: Default: 14
What it is: The period over which the Moving Average is calculated on the RSI.
What it does: Adjusts the smoothing of the RSI, helping to reduce false signals and provide a clearer trend indication.
Example: A 14-period moving average on the RSI can smooth out short-term fluctuations, making it easier to spot genuine overbought or oversold conditions.
MA Plot Style, Width, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for how the RSI Moving Average is displayed on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to adjust the line width and color, helping to differentiate the Moving Average from the main RSI line.
Example: Using a contrasting color for the RSI Moving Average (e.g., magenta) can help it stand out against the main RSI line, making it easier to interpret the indicator.
STOCHASTIC RSI
Display of Stochastic RSI:
Display of Stochastic RSI Setting:
Stochastic RSI Indicator Explanation
The Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the level of the RSI relative to its high-low range over a set period of time. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, providing potential buy and sell signals based on momentum shifts.
Stochastic RSI Input Settings:
Stochastic RSI Length: Default: 14
What it is: The period over which the Stochastic RSI is calculated.
What it does: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Stochastic RSI. A shorter length makes the indicator more responsive to recent price changes, while a longer length smooths out the fluctuations, reducing noise.
Example: A length of 14 is commonly used to identify momentum shifts over a medium-term period, providing a balanced view of potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Display of Stochastic RSI %K Line:
Stochastic RSI %K Line Explanation
The %K line in the Stochastic RSI is the main line that tracks the momentum of the RSI over the chosen period. It is the faster-moving component of the Stochastic RSI, often used to identify entry and exit points.
Stochastic RSI %K Input Settings:
%K Length: Default: 3
What it is: The period used for smoothing the %K line of the Stochastic RSI.
What it does: Smoothing the %K line helps reduce noise and provides a clearer signal for potential market reversals.
Example: A smoothing length of 3 is common, offering a balance between responsiveness and noise reduction, making it easier to spot significant momentum shifts.
%K Plot Style, Width, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual representation of the %K line.
What it does: Allows you to adjust the appearance of the %K line on the chart, including line width and color, to fit your visual preferences.
Example: Setting a blue color and a medium width for the %K line makes it stand out clearly on the chart, helping to identify key points of momentum change.
%K Fill Color (Above):
What it is: The fill color that appears above the %K line on the chart.
What it does: Adds visual clarity by shading the area above the %K line, making it easier to interpret the direction and strength of momentum.
Example: Using a light blue fill color above the %K line can help emphasize bullish momentum, making it visually prominent.
Display of Stochastic RSI %D Line:
Stochastic RSI %D Line Explanation
The %D line in the Stochastic RSI is a moving average of the %K line and acts as a signal line. It is slower-moving compared to the %K line and is often used to confirm signals or identify potential reversals when it crosses the %K line.
Stochastic RSI %D Input Settings:
%D Length: Default: 3
What it is: The period used for smoothing the %D line of the Stochastic RSI.
What it does: Smooths out the %D line, making it less sensitive to short-term fluctuations and more reliable for identifying significant market signals.
Example: A length of 3 is often used to provide a smoothed signal line that can help confirm trends or reversals indicated by the %K line.
%D Plot Style, Width, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual representation of the %D line.
What it does: Allows you to adjust the appearance of the %D line on the chart, including line width and color, to match your preferences.
Example: Setting an orange color and a thicker line width for the %D line can help differentiate it from the %K line, making crossover points easier to spot.
%D Fill Color (Below):
What it is: The fill color that appears below the %D line on the chart.
What it does: Adds visual clarity by shading the area below the %D line, making it easier to interpret bearish momentum.
Example: Using a light orange fill color below the %D line can highlight bearish conditions, making it visually easier to identify.
RSI & STOCHASTIC RSI OVERBOUGHT AND OVERSOLD LEVELS
Display of RSI & Stochastic with Overbought & Oversold Levels:
Display of RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Settings:
RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Levels Explanation
The Overbought (OB) and Oversold (OS) levels for RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators are key thresholds that help traders identify potential reversal points in the market. These levels are used to determine when an asset is likely overbought or oversold, which can signal a potential trend reversal.
RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Input Settings:
RSI & Stochastic Level 1 Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS): Default: OB Level = 170, OS Level = 130
What it is: The first set of thresholds for determining overbought and oversold conditions for both RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators.
What it does: When the RSI or Stochastic RSI crosses above the overbought level, it suggests that the asset might be overbought, potentially signaling a sell opportunity. Conversely, when these indicators drop below the oversold level, it suggests the asset might be oversold, potentially signaling a buy opportunity.
Example: If the RSI crosses above 170, traders might look for signs of a potential trend reversal to the downside, while a cross below 130 might indicate a reversal to the upside.
RSI & Stochastic Level 2 Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS): Default: OB Level = 180, OS Level = 120
What it is: The second set of thresholds for determining overbought and oversold conditions for both RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators.
What it does: These levels provide an additional set of reference points, allowing traders to differentiate between varying degrees of overbought and oversold conditions, potentially leading to more refined trading decisions.
Example: When the RSI crosses above 180, it might indicate an extreme overbought condition, which could be a stronger signal for a sell, while a cross below 120 might indicate an extreme oversold condition, which could be a stronger signal for a buy.
RSI & Stochastic Overbought (OB) Band Customization:
OB Level 1: Width, Style, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual appearance of the first overbought band on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to set the line width, style (solid, dotted, dashed), and color for the first overbought band, enhancing its visibility on the chart.
Example: A dashed red line with medium width can clearly indicate the first overbought level, helping traders quickly identify when this threshold is crossed.
OB Level 2: Width, Style, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual appearance of the second overbought band on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to set the line width, style, and color for the second overbought band, providing a clear distinction from the first band.
Example: A dashed red line with a slightly thicker width can represent a more significant overbought level, making it easier to differentiate from the first level.
RSI & Stochastic Oversold (OS) Band Customization:
OS Level 1: Width, Style, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual appearance of the first oversold band on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to set the line width, style (solid, dotted, dashed), and color for the first oversold band, making it visually prominent.
Example: A dashed green line with medium width can highlight the first oversold level, helping traders identify potential buying opportunities.
OS Level 2: Width, Style, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual appearance of the second oversold band on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to set the line width, style, and color for the second oversold band, providing an additional visual cue for extreme oversold conditions.
Example: A dashed green line with a thicker width can represent a more significant oversold level, offering a stronger visual cue for potential buying opportunities.
RSI DIVERGENCES
Display of RSI Divergence Labels:
Display of RSI Divergence Settings:
RSI Divergence Lookback Explanation
The RSI Divergence settings allow traders to customize the parameters for detecting divergences between the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action. Divergences occur when the price moves in the opposite direction to the RSI, potentially signaling a trend reversal. These settings help refine the accuracy of divergence detection by adjusting the lookback period and range. ( NOTE: This setting only imply to the RSI. This doesn't effect the STOCHASTIC RSI. )
RSI Divergence Lookback Input Settings:
Lookback Left: Default: 10
What it is: The number of bars to look back from the current bar to detect a potential divergence.
What it does: Defines the left-side lookback period for identifying pivot points in the RSI, which are used to spot divergences. A longer lookback period may capture more significant trends but could also miss shorter-term divergences.
Example: A setting of 10 bars means the script will consider pivot points up to 10 bars before the current bar to check for divergence patterns.
Lookback Right: Default: 1
What it is: The number of bars to look forward from the current bar to complete the divergence pattern.
What it does: Defines the right-side lookback period for confirming a potential divergence. This setting helps ensure that the identified divergence is valid by allowing the script to check subsequent bars for confirmation.
Example: A setting of 1 bar means the script will look at the next bar to confirm the divergence pattern, ensuring that the signal is reliable.
Lookback Range Min: Default: 5
What it is: The minimum range of bars required to detect a valid divergence.
What it does: Sets a lower bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A lower minimum range might capture more frequent but possibly less significant divergences.
Example: Setting the minimum range to 5 ensures that only divergences spanning at least 5 bars are considered, filtering out very short-term patterns.
Lookback Range Max: Default: 60
What it is: The maximum range of bars within which a divergence can be detected.
What it does: Sets an upper bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A larger maximum range might capture more significant divergences but could also include less relevant long-term patterns.
Example: Setting the maximum range to 60 bars allows the script to detect divergences over a longer timeframe, capturing more extended divergence patterns that could indicate major trend reversals.

How to Use Alerts:
Set up custom alerts in TradingView based on these conditions to be notified of potential trading opportunities. Alerts are triggered when the indicator detects conditions that match the selected criteria, such as divergences or potential reversals.
By following the detailed guidelines and examples above, you can effectively use and customize this powerful indicator to suit your trading strategy.
For further understanding and customization, refer to the input settings within the script and adjust them to match your trading style and preferences.
How Components Work Together
Synergy and Cross-Validation: The indicator combines multiple layers of analysis to validate trading signals. For example, a WaveTrend buy signal that coincides with a bullish divergence in RSI and positive fast money flow is likely to be more reliable than any single indicator’s signal. This cross-validation reduces the likelihood of false signals and enhances decision-making.
Comprehensive Market Analysis: Each component plays a role in analyzing different aspects of the market. WaveTrend focuses on trend strength, Money Flow indicators assess market sentiment, while RSI and Stochastic RSI offer detailed views of price momentum and potential reversals.

DarkPool's MacD DarkPool's MacD is an enhanced version of the classic Moving Average Convergence Divergence oscillator, engineered for modern traders who require more than just price data. While standard MACD indicators only measure price momentum, this tool integrates a Volume Weighting engine. This means the histogram bars expand not just based on price spread, but also based on the relative volume behind the move.
Additionally, the indicator features "True Multi-Timeframe (MTF)" capabilities, allowing you to view higher-timeframe momentum (e.g., Hourly or Daily) while trading on lower timeframes, alongside a 4-stage "Heatmap" color scheme to instantly visualize trend strength and exhaustion.
Key Features
Volume-Weighted Histogram: When enabled, histogram bars are multiplied by Relative Volume (RVOL). A large bar indicates strong price momentum backed by institutional volume, while a small bar suggests weak participation.
Vibrant Heatmap: A unique 4-color coding system that differentiates between "Strong Impulse" and "Fading Momentum" for both bullish and bearish trends.
True MTF: Overlay higher timeframe MACD data onto your current chart to align with the macro trend.
Visual Triggers: Automatically plots dots on crossovers and highlights the chart background to signal potential entry points.
How to Use
1. The Volume-Weighted Histogram The histogram is the heartbeat of this indicator.
Standard Mode: Shows the distance between the MACD and Signal lines.
Volume Mode (Default): If a move has high volume, the histogram bar grows significantly larger. If the price is moving but volume is low, the bar remains small. This helps filter out "fakeouts" where price moves without participation.
2. Reading the Heatmap (Colors) The "Vibrant Heatmap" theme uses specific colors to tell a story:
Cyan (Bright Blue): Strong Bullish Momentum. Buyers are in control.
Dodger Blue (Darker): Bullish but weakening. The trend is still up, but momentum is fading.
Pink/Red: Strong Bearish Momentum. Sellers are in control.
Gold/Amber: Bearish but weakening. The trend is still down, but selling pressure is drying up (potential reversal warning).
3. Crossover Signals
Bullish Cross: A bright circle appears on the line, and the background flashes Green. This occurs when the MACD crosses above the Signal line.
Bearish Cross: A bright circle appears on the line, and the background flashes Red. This occurs when the MACD crosses below the Signal line.
4. Multi-Timeframe Strategy Use the "Manual Timeframe" input to lock the MACD to a higher trend.
Example: If you trade on the 5-minute chart, set the indicator to "60" (1 Hour). You will now see the 1-Hour momentum displayed on your 5-minute chart, helping you avoid trading against the major trend.

🤖 DarkPool's Omni-MA APEX v3 🤖DarkPool's Omni-MA APEX v3 is an all-encompassing technical analysis suite designed to replace multiple indicators with a single, highly optimized tool. At its core, it features five independently customizable "Omni-MAs" capable of running various calculation models (SMA, EMA, HMA, LSMA, etc.) across multiple timeframes.
Beyond standard trend lines, the APEX v3 integrates a sophisticated "Market Structure Engine" that automatically plots Support & Resistance zones based on pivot points and volatility (ATR). It also features a "Trend Cloud" to visualize macro sentiment and a professional-grade Dashboard that aggregates data from over 10 different sources (RSI, MACD, OBV, Volume, etc.) to provide a real-time health check of the asset.
Key Features
5-Layer Omni-MA System: Five distinct moving averages with "Smart Coloring" that detects trends, consolidations (flat markets), and reversals.
Auto Support & Resistance: A dynamic algorithm that draws, updates, and prunes liquidity zones on the chart automatically.
Macro Trend Cloud: A visual background fill comparing Daily and Weekly momentum to keep you aligned with the higher timeframe.
Data Dashboard: A customizable panel displaying real-time metrics for Momentum, Volume, RSI, Divergences, and VWAP status.
Signal Generator: Alerts for MA crossovers, S/R breakouts, and trend shifts.
How to Use
1. The Omni-MAs (The Lines) The indicator plots up to five lines, color-coded for instant trend recognition:
Green/Blue: Price is above the previous value (Uptrend).
Red/Maroon: Price is below the previous value (Downtrend).
Gray: The line is flat (Consolidation/Chop).
MA 1-2 (Fast): Use these for entry triggers and scalping.
MA 3 (Medium): The "Anchor" line, often used as dynamic support.
MA 4-5 (Slow): The macro trend filters. If price is below MA 5, looking for longs is risky.
2. The Trend Cloud
Background Fill: This visualizes the difference between the Daily EMA and Weekly EMA.
Green Cloud: The Daily trend is above the Weekly trend (Strong Bullish Market).
Red Cloud: The Daily trend is below the Weekly trend (Strong Bearish Market).
3. Support & Resistance Zones
The Boxes: The script identifies pivot points and projects them forward as boxes.
Strategy: Watch for price to react at these zones. If a candle closes through a zone, it signals a Breakout (Green triangle) or Breakdown (Red triangle).
4. The Dashboard Located in the corner of your chart, this table provides a "Cockpit View" of the market:
Momentum Score: A composite score (-100 to +100) derived from RSI, MACD, and Stochastic.
Vol Ratio: Compares current volume to the average. A green bar indicates volume is higher than usual.
Market State: Classifies the market into regimes like "Volatile Bull," "Quiet Bear," or "Ranging."
Configuration Settings
Dashboard UI
Compact Mode: Reduces the table to show only the final Buy/Sell signal.
Active Widgets: Toggle individual data points (e.g., turn off "OBV" or "ADX" if you don't use them) to save screen space.
Global Analysis (Strategy Engine)
ATR Filter: Filters out "Weak" trends. If the price movement is too small (low volatility), signals are suppressed.
Volume MA: Sets the lookback period for calculating relative volume.
Support & Resistance
Pivot Sensitivity: Lower numbers find more zones (more noise); higher numbers find fewer, stronger zones.
Zone Width: Multiplies the ATR to determine how thick the S/R boxes should be.
MA Settings (1-5)
Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA (Hull), VWMA, LSMA, ALMA, and more.
Timeframe: You can set MA 5 to "D" (Daily) while trading on a 15-minute chart to see the daily trend line overlaid.

Stoch_RSI_ChartEnhanced Stochastic RSI Divergence Indicator with VWAP Filter for Charts
This custom indicator builds upon the classic Stochastic RSI to automatically detect both regular and hidden divergences. It’s designed to help traders spot potential market reversals or continuations using two methods for divergence detection (fractal‑ and pivot‑based) while offering optional VWAP filtering for confirmation.
Key Features
Stoch RSI Calculation
The indicator computes a smoothed Stoch RSI using configurable parameters for RSI length, stochastic length, and smoothing periods. An option to average the K and D lines provides a cleaner momentum view.
Divergence Detection via Fractals & Pivots
Fractal-Based Divergences:
Looks for 4-candle patterns to identify higher-highs or lower-lows in the price that are not confirmed by the oscillator, signaling potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergences:
Utilizes TradingView’s built-in pivot functions to find divergence conditions over adjustable pivot ranges.
Regular vs. Hidden Divergences:
Regular Divergence: Occurs when price makes a new extreme (higher high or lower low) while the Stoch RSI fails to follow suit.
Hidden Divergence: Indicates potential trend continuations when the oscillator diverges against the established price trend.
Optional VWAP Filtering
The script includes two optional VWAP filters that work as follows:
VWAP Filter on Regular Divergences:
Only confirms regular divergence signals if the current price satisfies the VWAP condition (e.g., price is above VWAP for bullish signals, below VWAP for bearish signals).
VWAP Filter on Hidden Divergences:
Similarly, hidden divergence signals are validated only when the price meets specific VWAP conditions, adding an extra layer of trend confirmation.
Customizable Alerts and Visual Labels
Easily configure divergence labels (“B” for bullish, “S” for bearish) and enable up to four alert conditions for real‑time notifications when a divergence occurs.

Core Concept: Savitzky-Golay Filter
The Savitzky-Golay filter is a widely-used smoothing technique that preserves important signal features such as peak detection while filtering out noise. In this indicator, the filter is applied to price data (default set to HLC3) to smooth out volatility and produce a cleaner trend line. By specifying the window size and polynomial degree, traders can fine-tune the degree of smoothing to match their preferred trading style or market conditions.
Z-Score: Measuring Deviation
The Z-Score is a statistical measure that indicates how far the current price is from its mean in terms of standard deviations. In trading, the Z-Score can be used to identify extreme price moves that are likely to revert or continue trending. A positive Z-Score means the price is above the mean, while a negative Z-Score indicates the price is below the mean.
This script calculates the Z-Score based on the Savitzky-Golay filtered price, enabling traders to detect moments when the price is diverging from its typical range and may present an opportunity for a trade.
Long and Short Conditions
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score generates clear long and short signals based on the Z-Score value:
Long Signals : When the Z-Score is positive, indicating the price is above its smoothed mean, a long signal is generated. The color of the bars turns green, signaling upward momentum.
Short Signals : When the Z-Score is negative, indicating the price is below its smoothed mean, a short signal is generated. The bars turn red, signaling downward momentum.
These signals allow traders to follow the prevailing trend with confidence, using statistical backing to avoid false signals from short-term volatility.
Standard Deviation Levels and Extreme Levels
This indicator includes several features to help visualize overbought and oversold conditions:
Standard Deviation Levels: The script plots horizontal lines at +1, +2, -1, and -2 standard deviations. These levels provide a reference for how far the current price is from the mean, allowing traders to quickly identify when the price is moving into extreme territory.
Extreme Levels: Additional extreme levels at +3 and +4 (and their negative counterparts) are plotted to highlight areas where the price is highly likely to revert. These extreme levels provide important insight into market conditions that are far outside the norm, signaling caution or potential reversal zones.
The indicator also adapts the color shading of these extreme zones based on the Z-Score’s strength. For example, the area between +3 and +4 is shaded with a stronger color when the Z-Score approaches these values, giving a visual representation of market pressure.
Divergences: Detecting Hidden and Regular Signals
A key feature of the Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences, both regular and hidden:
Regular Bullish Divergence: This occurs when the price makes a lower low while the Z-Score forms a higher low. It signals that bearish momentum is weakening, and a bullish reversal could be near.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: This divergence occurs when the price makes a higher low while the Z-Score forms a lower low. It signals that bullish momentum may continue after a temporary pullback.
Regular Bearish Divergence: This occurs when the price makes a higher high while the Z-Score forms a lower high, signaling that bullish momentum is weakening and a bearish reversal may be near.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: This divergence occurs when the price makes a lower high while the Z-Score forms a higher high, indicating that bearish momentum may continue after a temporary rally.
These divergences are plotted directly on the chart, making it easier for traders to spot when the price and momentum are out of sync and when a potential reversal may occur.
Customization and Visualization
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score offers a range of customization options to fit different trading styles:
Window Size and Polynomial Degree: Adjust the window size and polynomial degree of the Savitzky-Golay filter to control how much smoothing is applied to the price data.
Z-Score Lookback Period: Set the lookback period for calculating the Z-Score, allowing traders to fine-tune the sensitivity to short-term or long-term price movements.
Display Options: Choose whether to display standard deviation levels, extreme levels, and divergence labels on the chart.
Bar Color: Color the price bars based on trend direction, with green for bullish trends and red for bearish trends, allowing traders to easily visualize the current momentum.
Divergences: Enable or disable divergence detection, and adjust the lookback periods for pivots used to detect regular and hidden divergences.
Alerts and Automation
To ensure you never miss an important signal, the indicator includes built-in alert conditions for the following events:
Positive Z-Score (Long Signal): Triggers an alert when the Z-Score crosses above zero, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Negative Z-Score (Short Signal): Triggers an alert when the Z-Score crosses below zero, signaling a potential short opportunity.
Shifting Momentum: Alerts when the Z-Score is shifting up or down, providing early warning of changing market conditions.
These alerts can be configured to notify you via email, SMS, or app notification, allowing you to stay on top of the market without having to constantly monitor the chart.
Trading Applications
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is a versatile tool that can be applied across multiple trading strategies:
Trend Following: By smoothing the price and calculating the Z-Score, this indicator helps traders follow the prevailing trend while avoiding false signals from short-term volatility.
Mean Reversion: The Z-Score highlights moments when the price is far from its mean, helping traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and capitalize on potential reversals.
Divergence Trading: Regular and hidden divergences between the Z-Score and price provide early warning of trend reversals, allowing traders to enter trades at opportune moments.
Final Thoughts
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is an advanced statistical tool designed to provide a clearer view of market trends and momentum. By applying the Savitzky-Golay filter and Z-Score analysis, this indicator reduces noise and highlights key areas where the market may reverse or accelerate, giving traders a significant edge in understanding price behavior.
Whether you’re a trend follower or a reversal trader, this indicator offers the flexibility and insights you need to navigate complex markets with confidence.
Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.
Multi-Timeframe SMTSummery
The Multi-Timeframe SMT indicator is designed to identify and visualize Higher Timeframe (HTF) data on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart, allowing traders to see the broader market context without changing their current chart's resolution. It accurately draws pivots and SMT divergences from higher timeframes on the corresponding candles of your current lower timeframe chart.
Its core features include:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Configure and monitor pivots on up to four independent timeframes, from intraday to monthly.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Define the strength of pivots by adjusting the number of bars to the left and right.
SMT Divergence: Automatically identifies bullish and bearish SMT divergences by comparing the price action of the main chart symbol with a chosen correlated asset.
Early SMT Detection: A unique feature that monitors a lower "detection timeframe" to provide early warnings of potential SMT setups before they're confirmed on the main timeframe. Note that this early detection is only shown on timeframes equal to or lower than the "Detection timeframe" you have set.
Visual Cues & Alerts: Clear on-chart labels, lines, and fully customizable alerts notify you of confirmed pivots and SMT divergences, ensuring you don't miss key opportunities.
Important Nuance Regarding Pivot Label Display
Due to a self-imposed limit within this script's drawing management logic, the indicator might quickly reach its drawing capacity if you enable pivot crosses for multiple timeframes simultaneously. When this internal drawing limit is exceeded, the script is designed to automatically remove the oldest drawings to make space for new ones.
Therefore, to ensure optimal performance and visibility of the most recent and relevant pivots, it's highly recommended to only enable the "Show Pivot Crosses" option for one timeframe at a time. If you wish to view pivots for a different timeframe, simply disable the pivot crosses for the currently active timeframe and then enable them for your desired one. This approach prevents the rapid cycling and disappearance of pivot labels, providing a clearer and more stable visual experience.
In-Depth Explanation of the Logic
This script is built on two primary concepts: pivot points and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence. It systematically collects historical data on multiple timeframes, identifies pivots, and then compares them between two assets to find divergences.
Pivot Point Identification
A pivot is a turning point in the market. A pivot high is a candle that has a higher high than the candles to its immediate left and right. Conversely, a pivot low is a candle with a lower low than its neighbors.
How it Works in the Script:
The script tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period of the selected timeframe (e.g., for each 4-hour candle). When a new high-timeframe candle closes, it stores that high/low value and its bar index in an array. The checkForPivot() function then checks if a recently stored high or low qualifies as a pivot.
Key Inputs:
Left Strength (leftBars1): The number of candles to the left that must have a lower high (for a pivot high) or higher low (for a pivot low).
Right Strength (rightBars1): The number of candles to the right that must meet the same criteria.
For example, with Left Strength and Right Strength both set to 3, a pivot high is only confirmed when its high is greater than the highs of the 3 previous high-timeframe candles and the 3 subsequent high-timeframe candles. Increasing these values will identify more significant, longer-term pivots.
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence
SMT Divergence is a concept popularized by The Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For instance, if Asset A makes a higher high but Asset B fails to do so and instead makes a lower high, this creates a bearish SMT divergence. It suggests that the "smart money" may not be supporting the move in Asset A, signaling a potential reversal.
Bearish SMT: Main asset makes a higher high, while the correlated asset makes a lower high. This is a potential sell signal.
Bullish SMT: Main asset makes a lower low, while the correlated asset makes a higher low. This is a potential buy signal.
How it Works in the Script:
Data Request: For each timeframe, the script uses the request.security() function to fetch the high and low data for both the main chart symbol (syminfo.tickerid) and the chosen Comparison Asset.
Pivot Comparison: When a new pivot is confirmed on the main asset, the script checks if a corresponding pivot also formed on the comparison asset at the same time.
Divergence Check: It then compares the direction of the pivots. For a bearish SMT, it checks if the main asset's new pivot high is higher than its previous pivot high, while the comparison asset's new pivot high is lower than its previous one. The logic is reversed for bullish SMT.
Visualization: If a divergence is found, the script draws a red (bearish) or green (bullish) line connecting the two pivots on your chart and places an "SMT" label.
Early SMT Detection
This is a proactive feature designed to give you a heads-up. Waiting for a 4-hour or daily pivot to form can take a long time. The early detection system looks for SMT divergences on a much smaller, user-defined Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute).
How it Works in the Script:
Awaiting Setup: After a primary pivot (Pivot A) is formed on the main timeframe (e.g., a Daily pivot high), the script begins monitoring.
Intraday Monitoring: It then watches the Detection timeframe (e.g., 15-minute) for smaller intraday pivots.
Potential Divergence: It looks for an intraday pivot that forms a divergence against the primary Pivot A.
Watchline & Alert: When this "potential" divergence occurs, the script draws a dashed white line and triggers a "Potential SMT" alert. This isn't a confirmed SMT on the main timeframe yet, but it's a powerful early warning that one may be forming.
Drawing & Object Management
To keep the chart clean and prevent performance issues, the script manages its drawings (lines and labels) efficiently. It stores them in arrays and uses a drawing limit to automatically delete the oldest drawings as new ones are created, ensuring your TradingView remains responsive.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuration
Enable Timeframes: Use the checkboxes (Enable Timeframe 1, Enable Timeframe 2, etc.) to activate the timeframes you want to monitor. It's often best to start with one or two to keep the chart clean.
Select Timeframes: Choose the higher timeframes you want to analyze (e.g., 240 for 4-hour, D for Daily, W for Weekly).
Set Pivot Strength: The default of 3 for Left/Right strength is a good starting point. Increase it to find more significant market structure points or decrease it for more frequent, shorter-term pivots.
Configure SMT:
Check Enable SMT for the timeframes where you want to detect divergence.
Enter a Comparison Asset . This is crucial. Ensure the assets are correlated.
To use the early warning system, check Enable early SMT detection and select an appropriate Detection timeframe (e.g., 15 or 60 minutes for a Daily analysis).

Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC)The Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) is a technical momentum indicator developed by Larry Williams that combines three different time periods to reduce the volatility and false signals common in single-period oscillators. By using a weighted average of three Stochastic-like calculations across short, medium, and long-term periods, the Ultimate Oscillator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
The indicator addresses the common problem of oscillators being either too sensitive (generating many false signals) or too slow (missing opportunities). By incorporating multiple timeframes with decreasing weights for longer periods, ULTOSC attempts to capture both short-term momentum shifts and longer-term trend strength, making it particularly valuable for identifying divergences and potential reversal points.
## Core Concepts
* **Multi-timeframe analysis:** Combines three different periods (typically 7, 14, 28) to capture various momentum cycles
* **Weighted averaging:** Assigns higher weights to shorter periods for responsiveness while including longer periods for stability
* **Buying pressure focus:** Measures the relationship between closing price and the true range rather than just high-low range
* **Divergence detection:** Particularly effective at identifying momentum divergences that precede price reversals
* **Normalized scale:** Oscillates between 0 and 100, with clear overbought/oversold levels
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Fast Period | 7 | Short-term momentum calculation | Lower (5-6) for more sensitivity, higher (9-12) for smoother signals |
| Medium Period | 14 | Medium-term momentum calculation | Adjust based on typical swing duration in the market |
| Slow Period | 28 | Long-term momentum calculation | Higher values (35-42) for longer-term position trading |
| Fast Weight | 4.0 | Weight applied to fast period | Higher weight increases short-term sensitivity |
| Medium Weight | 2.0 | Weight applied to medium period | Adjust to balance medium-term influence |
| Slow Weight | 1.0 | Weight applied to slow period | Usually kept at 1.0 as the baseline weight |
**Pro Tip:** The classic 7/14/28 periods with 4/2/1 weights work well for most markets, but consider using 5/10/20 with adjusted weights for faster markets or 14/28/56 for longer-term analysis.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultimate Oscillator calculates three separate "buying pressure" ratios using different time periods, then combines them using weighted averaging. Buying pressure is defined as the close minus the true low, divided by the true range.
**Technical formula:**
```
BP = Close - Min(Low, Previous Close)
TR = Max(High, Previous Close) - Min(Low, Previous Close)
BP_Sum_Fast = Sum(BP, Fast Period)
TR_Sum_Fast = Sum(TR, Fast Period)
Raw_Fast = 100 × (BP_Sum_Fast / TR_Sum_Fast)
BP_Sum_Medium = Sum(BP, Medium Period)
TR_Sum_Medium = Sum(TR, Medium Period)
Raw_Medium = 100 × (BP_Sum_Medium / TR_Sum_Medium)
BP_Sum_Slow = Sum(BP, Slow Period)
TR_Sum_Slow = Sum(TR, Slow Period)
Raw_Slow = 100 × (BP_Sum_Slow / TR_Sum_Slow)
ULTOSC = 100 × / (Fast_Weight + Medium_Weight + Slow_Weight)
```
Where:
- BP = Buying Pressure
- TR = True Range
- Fast Period = 7, Medium Period = 14, Slow Period = 28 (defaults)
- Fast Weight = 4, Medium Weight = 2, Slow Weight = 1 (defaults)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The implementation uses efficient circular buffers for all three period calculations, maintaining O(1) time complexity per bar. The algorithm properly handles true range calculations including gaps and ensures accurate buying pressure measurements across all timeframes.
## Interpretation Details
ULTOSC provides several analytical perspectives:
* **Overbought/Oversold conditions:** Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, below 30 suggest oversold conditions
* **Momentum direction:** Rising ULTOSC indicates increasing buying pressure, falling indicates increasing selling pressure
* **Divergence analysis:** Divergences between ULTOSC and price often precede significant reversals
* **Trend confirmation:** ULTOSC direction can confirm or question the prevailing price trend
* **Signal quality:** Extreme readings (>80 or <20) indicate strong momentum that may be unsustainable
* **Multiple timeframe consensus:** When all three underlying periods agree, signals are typically more reliable
## Trading Applications
**Primary Uses:**
- **Divergence trading:** Identify when momentum diverges from price for reversal signals
- **Overbought/oversold identification:** Find potential entry/exit points at extreme levels
- **Trend confirmation:** Validate breakouts and trend continuations
- **Momentum analysis:** Assess the strength of current price movements
**Advanced Strategies:**
- **Multi-divergence confirmation:** Look for divergences across multiple timeframes
- **Momentum breakouts:** Trade when ULTOSC breaks above/below key levels with volume
- **Swing trading entries:** Use oversold/overbought levels for swing position entries
- **Trend strength assessment:** Evaluate trend quality using momentum consistency
## Signal Combinations
**Strong Bullish Signals:**
- ULTOSC rises from oversold territory (<30) with positive price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks above 50 after forming a base near 30
- All three underlying periods show increasing buying pressure
**Strong Bearish Signals:**
- ULTOSC falls from overbought territory (>70) with negative price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks below 50 after forming a top near 70
- All three underlying periods show decreasing buying pressure
**Divergence Signals:**
- **Bullish divergence:** Price makes lower lows while ULTOSC makes higher lows
- **Bearish divergence:** Price makes higher highs while ULTOSC makes lower highs
- **Hidden bullish divergence:** Price makes higher lows while ULTOSC makes lower lows (trend continuation)
- **Hidden bearish divergence:** Price makes lower highs while ULTOSC makes higher highs (trend continuation)
## Comparison with Related Oscillators
| Indicator | Periods | Focus | Best Use Case |
|-----------|---------|-------|---------------|
| **Ultimate Oscillator** | 3 periods | Buying pressure | Divergence detection |
| **Stochastic** | 1-2 periods | Price position | Overbought/oversold |

- Trade reversals from extreme levels
- Combine with support/resistance analysis
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Lagging component:** Contains inherent lag due to multiple moving average calculations
* **Complex calculation:** More computationally intensive than single-period oscillators
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance varies significantly with different period/weight combinations
* **Market dependency:** Most effective in trending markets with clear momentum patterns
* **False divergences:** Not all divergences lead to significant price reversals
* **Whipsaw potential:** Can generate conflicting signals in choppy markets
## Best Practices
**Effective Usage:**
- Focus on divergences rather than absolute overbought/oversold levels
- Combine with trend analysis for context
- Use multiple timeframe analysis for confirmation
- Pay attention to the speed of momentum changes
**Common Mistakes:**
- Over-relying on overbought/oversold levels in strong trends
- Ignoring the underlying trend direction
- Using inappropriate period settings for the market being analyzed
- Trading every divergence without additional confirmation
**Signal Enhancement:**
- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Use price action context (support/resistance levels)
- Consider market volatility when setting thresholds
- Look for convergence across multiple momentum indicators
## Historical Context and Development
The Ultimate Oscillator was developed by Larry Williams and introduced in his 1985 article "The Ultimate Oscillator" in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Williams designed it to address the limitations of single-period oscillators by:
- Reducing false signals through multi-timeframe analysis
- Maintaining sensitivity to short-term momentum changes
- Providing more reliable divergence signals
- Creating a more robust momentum measurement tool
The indicator has become a standard tool in technical analysis, particularly valued for its divergence detection capabilities and its balanced approach to momentum measurement.

Purple zone (RSI < 50): Bearish trend - look for selling opportunities
Gray zone (RSI 40-60): Neutral/transitional market - prepare for potential breakout
The 40-50 area (light blue fill) acts as support during uptrends, while the 50-60 area (light purple fill) acts as resistance during downtrends.
// From the code:
upTrendZone = rsiValue > 50 and rsiValue <= 90
downTrendZone = rsiValue < 50 and rsiValue >= 10
neutralZone = rsiValue > 40 and rsiValue < 60
rsiColor = neutralZone ? neutralRSI : upTrendZone ? upTrendRSI : downTrendRSI
Momentum Analysis
The Composite Index (fuchsia line) provides momentum confirmation:
Values above 50 indicate positive momentum
Values below 40 indicate negative momentum
Crossing above/below these thresholds signals potential momentum shifts
// From the code:
compositeIndexRaw = rsiChange / ta.stdev(rsiValue, rsiLength)
compositeIndex = ta.sma(compositeIndexRaw, compositeSmoothing)
compositeScaled = compositeIndex * 10 + 50 // Scaled to fit 0-100 range
Overbought/Oversold Detection
The ATR Distance to VWAP table in the top-right corner shows how far price has moved from VWAP in terms of ATR units:
Extreme positive values (orange/red): Potentially overbought
Extreme negative values (purple/red): Potentially oversold
Near zero (gray): Price near average value
// From the code:
priceDistance = (close - vwapValue) / ta.atr(atrPeriod)
// Color coding based on distance value
Divergence Trading
The indicator automatically detects divergences between the Composite Index and price:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
// From the code:
divergenceBullish = ta.lowest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) > ta.lowest(close, rsiLength)
divergenceBearish = ta.highest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) < ta.highest(close, rsiLength)
Trading Strategies
Trend Following
1. Identify the trend using RSI color:
Blue = Uptrend, Purple = Downtrend
2. Wait for pullbacks to support/resistance zones:
In uptrends: Buy when RSI pulls back to 40-50 zone and bounces
In downtrends: Sell when RSI rallies to 50-60 zone and rejects
3. Confirm with Composite Index:
Uptrends: Composite Index stays above 50 or quickly returns above it
Downtrends: Composite Index stays below 50 or quickly returns below it
4. Manage risk using ATR Distance:
Take profits when ATR Distance reaches extreme values
Place stops beyond recent swing points
Reversal Trading
1. Look for divergences
Bullish: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
2. Confirm with ATR Distance:
Extreme readings suggest potential reversals
3. Wait for RSI zone transition:
Bullish: RSI crosses above 40 (purple to neutral/blue)
Bearish: RSI crosses below 60 (blue to neutral/purple)
4. Enter after confirmation:
Use candlestick patterns for precise entry
Place stops beyond the divergence point
Four pre-configured alerts are available:
Momentum High: Composite Index above 50
Momentum Low: Composite Index below 40
Bullish Divergence: Composite Index higher low
Bearish Divergence: Composite Index lower high
Customization
Adjust these parameters to optimize for your trading style:
RSI Length: Default 14, lower for more sensitivity, higher for fewer signals
Composite Index Smoothing: Default 10, lower for quicker signals, higher for less noise
ATR Period: Default 14, affects the ATR Distance to VWAP calculation
This indicator works well across various markets and timeframes, though the default settings are optimized for daily charts. Adjust parameters for shorter or longer timeframes as needed.
Happy trading!
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.

Volatility Channel Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
"Volatility Channel Oscillator" is a technical indicator that analyzes price volatility relative to dynamic price channels, displaying an oscillator, its moving average, and signals based on crossovers and divergences. The indicator offers customizable overbought and oversold levels, gradient visualization, and divergence detection, supported by alerts for key signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The VCO indicator creates dynamic price channels based on a moving average of the price (calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices: (high + low) / 2) and market volatility (measured as the average candle range and body size). These channels are not displayed on the chart but are used to calculate the oscillator value, which reflects the position of the closing price relative to the channel width, scaled to a range from -100 to +100, with the zero line as the central point. A moving average of the oscillator (SMA) smooths its values, enabling signals based on crossovers with the zero line or overbought/oversold levels. The indicator also detects divergences between price and the oscillator, which may indicate potential trend reversals. VCO is useful for identifying market momentum, reversal points, and trend confirmation, especially when combined with other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Volatility Channels: Calculates invisible chart boundaries based on a simple moving average (SMA) of the price (high + low) / 2 and volatility (average candle range and body). The length parameter (default 30) sets the SMA length, and scale (default 200%) adjusts the channel width.
- Oscillator: Determines the oscillator value in the range of -100 to +100, indicating the closing price's position relative to the volatility channel. Displayed with dynamic coloring (green for positive values, red for negative).
- Oscillator Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of the oscillator values, smoothing its movements. The signalLength parameter (default 20) defines the SMA length. Displayed in yellow with an optional gradient.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Configurable thresholds for the oscillator (overbought, default 50; oversold, default -50) and its moving average (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30), shown as horizontal lines with optional gradients. Band colors change dynamically (red for overbought, green for oversold, gray for neutral) based on the moving average's position relative to maOverbought/maOversold, reinforcing other signals.
- Divergences: Detects bullish (price forms a lower low, oscillator a higher low) and bearish (price forms a higher high, oscillator a lower high) divergences using pivots (pivotLength, default 2). Divergences are displayed with a delay equal to the pivot length; larger lengths increase reliability but delay signals. Use as additional confirmation.
Signals:
- Overbought/Oversold Crossovers: Green triangles (buy) when the oscillator crosses above the oversold level, red triangles (sell) when it crosses below the overbought level.
- Zero Line Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses the zero line upward (buy) or downward (sell).
- Moving Average Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator's moving average crosses the zero line or the maOverbought/maOversold levels. Dynamic band color changes (red/green) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Visualization: Gradient lines for the oscillator, its moving average, overbought/oversold levels, and zero line, with adjustable transparency. Gradient fill between the oscillator and zero line.
Divergence Labels: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels with customizable color and transparency.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero line crossovers by the oscillator and its moving average.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator via Pine Editor or the Indicators menu on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
- Channel and Oscillator Settings: Adjust the channel SMA length (length, default 30) and channel scaling (scale, default 200%). Increase scale for high-volatility markets.
- Threshold Levels: Set oscillator overbought (overbought, default 50) and oversold (oversold, default -50) levels, and moving average thresholds (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30).
- Divergence Settings: Enable/disable divergence detection (calculateDivergence) and set pivot length (pivotLength, default 2). Larger values increase reliability but delay signals.
- Signal Settings: Choose signal types (signalType): overbought/oversold, zero line, moving average, or all.
- Styling: Customize colors for the oscillator, moving average, horizontal levels, and divergence labels. Adjust gradient and fill transparency.
Interpreting Signals:
- Buy Signals: Green triangles below the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses above the oversold level or zero line.
- Sell Signals: Red triangles above the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses below the overbought level or zero line.
- Moving Average Signals: Green/red triangles when the moving average crosses maOverbought/maOversold levels, indicating potential reversals or trend continuation. Dynamic band color changes (red for overbought, green for oversold) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Divergences: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels indicate potential trend reversals with a delay based on pivot length. Use as confirmation.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor price reactions in these zones as potential reversal points. Dynamic band color changes based on the moving average reinforce signals.
Signal Confirmation: Use VCO with other tools, such as pivot levels (for key turning points) or Fibonacci levels (for support/resistance zones).
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trend Trading: Zero line crossovers by the oscillator or its moving average identify momentum in uptrends or downtrends.
- Range Trading: Overbought/oversold levels help identify entry/exit points in sideways markets.
- Divergences: Use bullish/bearish divergences as additional confirmation of reversals, especially near key price levels.
- Trend Identification: To analyze trends over a longer perspective, increase the moving average length (signalLength) for more stable signals.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets to optimize parameters, such as length and scale, for your trading style.
- In strong trends, overbought/oversold levels may persist, requiring additional signal verification.
- Divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (H4, D1), where market noise is reduced, but their delay requires caution.
- In low-liquidity markets, signals may be less effective, so use on high-liquidity assets is recommended.
