Volume Delta Methods (Chart) [LuxAlgo]The Volume Delta Methods (Chart) aims at highlighting the relationship between Buying or Selling Pressure and Price by presenting Volume Delta , and multiple derivatives of volume delta such as Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , Buy/Sell Volume , Total Volume , etc on top of the Main Price Chart .
The script uses two different intrabar (chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's) analyses to achieve the most approximate calculation of the volume delta and offers fully customizable visualization features using various types of charts such as line, area, baseline, candles, and histograms.
The script allows traders to see "within" the price bar, provides more transparency over a traditional volume histogram, and also allows users to monitor price and volume activity together.
🔶 USAGE
Volume delta is the difference between the buying volume and the selling volume, in other words, it is the net demand at a given bar allowing traders a more detailed insight when analyzing the market sentiment. A volume delta greater than 0 indicates more buying than selling pressure, whereas a volume delta less than 0 indicates more selling than buying pressure.
Volume delta plus total volume (regular volume) adds additional insight, where the total volume represents all the recorded trades for security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security.
Divergences occur when the polarity of the volume delta does not match the polarity of the price bar.
The users can enable the display of the numerical values of the volume delta.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a way of using Volume Delta to measure an asset’s mid-to-long-term buy and sell pressure. It compares buying and selling volume over time and offers insights into market behavior at specific price points. Cumulative Volume Delta is effectively a continuation of the principles of Volume Delta but involves longer time periods and offers different trading signals.
Like the Volume Delta, the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator measures the relationship between buy and sell pressure but does not focus on one specific candle in particular. Rather, the Cumulative Volume Delta takes the relative differences and combines them all over an extended time period.
Users have the ability Cumulative Volume Delta in various types of charts along with an optional smoothing line.
Placed above price bars options.
Interacting with price bar options helps to better identify CVD Divergences.
CVD Divergences
CVD reveals buying and selling trends that may or may not complement the price trend of the asset itself. Sometimes, price trends can run in contrast to trading behavior — sell volume can be dominant while the spot price is rising, and vice versa.
🔶 DETAILS
Theoretically, volume delta is calculated by taking the difference between the volume that traded at the ask price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The most precise calculation method uses tick data but requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which usually limits the historical depth of charts. This indicator uses two different intrabar analysis methods for the volume delta calculation, where intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's timeframe:
The logic used to assign intrabar volume to the "up" or "down".
- Buying/Selling pressure of the intrabar option (default)
(close - low) > (high - close) => UP
(close - low) < (high - close) => DOWN
(close - low) = (high - close) => close - previous close is used
- Polarity of the intrabar option
close > open => UP
close < open => DOWN
close = open => close - previous close is used
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and performs calculations and presentations based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.

Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)

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

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

Introduction
Hellenic EMA Matrix is a premium indicator based on mathematical constants of nature: Phi (Phi - Golden Ratio), Pi (Pi), e (Euler's number). The indicator uses these universal constants to create dynamic EMAs that adapt to the natural rhythms of the market.
Key Features:
6 EMA types based on mathematical constants
Premium visualization with Neon Glow and Gradient Clouds
Automatic Fast/Mid/Slow EMA sorting
STRONG signals for powerful trends
Pulsing Ribbon Bar for instant trend assessment
Works on all timeframes (M1 - MN)
Indicator Philosophy
Why Mathematical Constants?
Traditional EMAs use arbitrary periods (9, 21, 50, 200). Hellenic Matrix goes further, using universal mathematical constants found in nature:
Phi (1.618) - Golden Ratio: galaxy spirals, seashells, human body proportions
Pi (3.14159) - Pi: circles, waves, cycles
e (2.71828) - Natural logarithm base: exponential growth, radioactive decay
Markets are also a natural system composed of millions of participants. Using mathematical constants allows tuning into the natural rhythms of market cycles.
Mathematical Constants
Phi (Phi) - Golden Ratio
Phi = 1.618033988749895
Properties:
Phi² = Phi + 1 = 2.618
Phi³ = 4.236
Phi⁴ = 6.854
Application: Ideal for trending movements and Fibonacci corrections
Pi (Pi) - Pi Number
Pi = 3.141592653589793
Properties:
2Pi = 6.283 (full circle)
3Pi = 9.425
4Pi = 12.566
Application: Excellent for cyclical markets and wave structures
e (Euler) - Euler's Number
e = 2.718281828459045
Properties:
e² = 7.389
e³ = 20.085
e⁴ = 54.598
Application: Suitable for exponential movements and volatile markets
EMA Types
1. Phi (Phi) - Golden Ratio EMA
Description: EMA based on the golden ratio
Period Formula:
Period = Phi^n × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
Phi Power Level (1-8): Power of Phi
Phi¹ = 1.618 → ~16 period (with Base=10)
Phi² = 2.618 → ~26 period
Phi³ = 4.236 → ~42 period (recommended)
Phi⁴ = 6.854 → ~69 period
Recommendations:
Phi² or Phi³ for day trading
Phi⁴ or Phi⁵ for swing trading
Works excellently as Fast EMA
2. Pi (Pi) - Circular EMA
Description: EMA based on Pi for cyclical movements
Period Formula:
Period = Pi × Multiple × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
Pi Multiple (1-10): Pi multiplier
1Pi = 3.14 → ~31 period (with Base=10)
2Pi = 6.28 → ~63 period (recommended)
3Pi = 9.42 → ~94 period
Recommendations:
2Pi ideal as Mid or Slow EMA
Excellently identifies cycles and waves
Use on volatile markets (crypto, forex)
3. e (Euler) - Natural EMA
Description: EMA based on natural logarithm
Period Formula:
Period = e^n × Base Multiplier
Parameters:
e Power Level (1-6): Power of e
e¹ = 2.718 → ~27 period (with Base=10)
e² = 7.389 → ~74 period (recommended)
e³ = 20.085 → ~201 period
Recommendations:
e² works excellently as Slow EMA
Ideal for stocks and indices
Filters noise well on lower timeframes
4. Delta (Delta) - Adaptive EMA
Description: Adaptive EMA that changes period based on volatility
Period Formula:
Period = Base Period × (1 + (Volatility - 1) × Factor)
Parameters:
Delta Base Period (5-200): Base period (default 20)
Delta Volatility Sensitivity (0.5-5.0): Volatility sensitivity (default 2.0)
How it works:
During low volatility → period decreases → EMA reacts faster
During high volatility → period increases → EMA smooths noise
Recommendations:
Works excellently on news and sharp movements
Use as Fast EMA for quick adaptation
Sensitivity 2.0-3.0 for crypto, 1.0-2.0 for stocks
5. Sigma (Sigma) - Composite EMA
Description: Composite EMA combining multiple active EMAs
Composition Methods:
Weighted Average (default):
Sigma = (Phi + Pi + e + Delta) / 4
Simple average of all active EMAs
Geometric Mean:
Sigma = fourth_root(Phi × Pi × e × Delta)
Geometric mean (more conservative)
Harmonic Mean:
Sigma = 4 / (1/Phi + 1/Pi + 1/e + 1/Delta)
Harmonic mean (more weight to smaller values)
Recommendations:
Enable for additional confirmation
Use as Mid EMA
Weighted Average - most universal method
6. Lambda (Lambda) - Wave EMA
Description: Wave EMA with sinusoidal period modulation
Period Formula:
Period = Base Period × (1 + Amplitude × sin(2Pi × bar / Frequency))
Parameters:
Lambda Base Period (10-200): Base period
Lambda Wave Amplitude (0.1-2.0): Wave amplitude
Lambda Wave Frequency (10-200): Wave frequency in bars
How it works:
Period pulsates sinusoidally
Creates wave effect following market cycles
Recommendations:
Experimental EMA for advanced users
Works well on cyclical markets
Frequency = 50 for day trading, 100+ for swing
Settings

Use trailing stop - follow Fast EMA
Combine with levels - S/R, Fibonacci, volumes
Test on demo before real
Adjust Base Multiplier for your timeframe
Enable visual effects - they help see the picture
Use Info Table - quick situation assessment
Watch Pulsing Bar - instant state indicator
Trust auto-sorting of Fast/Mid/Slow
DON'Ts
Don't trade against STRONG signal - trend is your friend
Don't ignore Mid EMA - it adds reliability
Don't use too small Base Multiplier on higher TFs
Don't enter on Golden Cross in range - check for trend
Don't change settings during open position
Don't forget risk management - 1-2% per trade
Don't trade all signals in row - choose best ones
Don't use indicator in isolation - combine with Price Action
Don't set too tight stops - let trade breathe
Don't over-optimize - simplicity = reliability

FAQ
1. Why don't STRONG signals appear?
Possible reasons:
Incorrect Fast/Mid/Slow order
Solution: Indicator automatically sorts EMAs by periods, but ensure selected EMAs have different periods
Base Multiplier too large
Solution: Reduce Base to 5-10 on lower timeframes
Market in range
Solution: STRONG signals appear only in trends - this is normal
Too strict EMA settings
Solution: Try classic combination: Phi³ / Pi×2 / e² with Base=10
Mid EMA too close to Fast or Slow
Solution: Select Mid EMA with period between Fast and Slow
2. How often should STRONG signals appear?
Normal frequency:
M1-M5: 5-15 signals per day (very active markets)
M15-H1: 2-8 signals per day
H4: 3-10 signals per week
D1: 2-5 signals per month
W1: 2-6 signals per year
If too many signals - market very volatile or Base too small
If too few signals - market in range or Base too large
4. What are the best settings for beginners?
Universal "out of the box" settings:
Matrix Core:
Base Multiplier: 10
Source: close
Phi Golden: Enabled, Power = 3
Pi Circular: Enabled, Multiple = 2
e Natural: Enabled, Power = 2
Delta Adaptive: Enabled, Base = 20, Sensitivity = 2.0
Manual Selection:
Fast: Phi Golden
Mid: e Natural
Slow: Pi Circular
Visualization:
Gradient Clouds: ON
Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
Pulsing Bar: ON (Medium)
Signal Highlights: ON (Light Fill)
Table: ON (Top Right, Small)
Signals:
Golden/Death Cross: ON
STRONG Signals: ON
Stop Loss: OFF (while learning)
Timeframe for learning: H1 or H4
5. Can I use only one EMA?
No, minimum 2 EMAs (Fast and Slow) for signal generation.
Mid EMA is optional:
With Mid EMA = more reliable but rarer signals
Without Mid EMA = more signals but less strict filtering
Recommendation: Start with 3 EMAs (Fast/Mid/Slow), then experiment
6. Does the indicator work on cryptocurrencies?
Yes, works excellently! Especially good on:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Major altcoins (SOL, BNB, XRP)
Recommended settings for crypto:
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 10-15, Sensitivity 2.5-3.0)
Mid: Pi Circular (2Pi)
Slow: e Natural (e²)
Base: 5-10
Timeframe: M15, H1, H4
Crypto market features:
High volatility → use Delta Adaptive
24/7 trading → set alerts
Sharp movements → wide stops
7. Can I trade only with this indicator?
Technically yes, but NOT recommended.
Best approach - combine with:
Price Action - support/resistance levels, candle patterns
Volume - movement strength confirmation
Fibonacci - retracement and extension levels
RSI/MACD - divergences and overbought/oversold
Fundamental analysis - news, company reports
Hellenic Matrix:
Excellently determines trend and its strength
Provides clear entry/exit points
Doesn't consider fundamentals
Doesn't see major levels
8. Why do Gradient Clouds change color?
Color depends on EMA order:
Phi-Pi Cloud:
Blue - Pi EMA above Phi EMA (bullish alignment)
Gold - Phi EMA above Pi EMA (bearish alignment)
Pi-e Cloud:
Green - e EMA above Pi EMA (bullish alignment)
Blue - Pi EMA above e EMA (bearish alignment)
Color change = EMA order change = possible trend change
9. What is Momentum % in the table?
Momentum % = percentage deviation of price from Fast EMA
Formula:
Momentum = ((Close - Fast EMA) / Fast EMA) × 100
Interpretation:
+0.5% to +2% - normal bullish momentum
+2% to +5% - strong bullish momentum
+5% and above - overheating (correction possible)
-0.5% to -2% - normal bearish momentum
-2% to -5% - strong bearish momentum
-5% and below - oversold (bounce possible)
Usage:
Monitor momentum during STRONG signals
Large momentum = don't enter (wait for pullback)
Small momentum = good entry point
10. How to configure for scalping?
Settings for scalping (M1-M5):
Base Multiplier: 3-5
Source: close or hlc3 (smoother)
Fast: Delta Adaptive (Base 8-12, Sensitivity 3.0)
Mid: None (for more signals)
Slow: Phi Golden (Phi²) or Pi Circular (1Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON (helps see strength)
- Neon Glow: OFF (doesn't clutter chart)
- Pulsing Bar: ON (quick assessment)
- Signal Highlights: ON
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: ON (1.0-1.5 ATR, R:R 1.5-2.0)
Scalping rules:
Trade only STRONG signals
Enter on bounce from Fast EMA
Tight stops (10-20 pips)
Quick take profit (+1R to +2R)
Don't hold through news
11. How to configure for long-term investing?
Settings for investing (D1-W1):
Base Multiplier: 20-30
Source: close
Fast: Phi Golden (Phi³ or Phi⁴)
Mid: e Natural (e²)
Slow: Pi Circular (3Pi or 4Pi)
Visualization:
- Gradient Clouds: ON
- Neon Glow: ON (Medium)
- Everything else - to taste
Signals:
- Golden/Death Cross: ON
- STRONG Signals: ON
- Stop Loss: OFF (use percentage stop)
Investing rules:
Enter only on STRONG signals
Hold while STRONG active (weeks/months)
Stop below Slow EMA or -10%
Take profit: by company targets or +50-100%
Ignore short-term pullbacks
12. What if indicator slows down chart?
Indicator is optimized, but if it slows:
Disable unnecessary visual effects:
Neon Glow: OFF (saves 8 plots)
Gradient Clouds: ON but low quality
Lambda Wave EMA: OFF (if not using)
Reduce number of active EMAs:
Sigma Composite: OFF
Lambda Wave: OFF
Leave only Phi, Pi, e, Delta
Simplify settings:
Pulsing Bar: OFF
Greek Labels: OFF
Info Table: smaller size
13. Can I use on different timeframes simultaneously?
Yes! Multi-timeframe analysis is very powerful:
Classic scheme:
Higher TF (D1, W1) - determine global trend
Wait for STRONG signal
This is our trading direction
Middle TF (H4, H1) - look for confirmation
STRONG signal in same direction
Precise entry zone
Lower TF (M15, M5) - entry point
Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA
Precise stop loss
Example:
W1: STRONG BUY active (global uptrend)
H4: STRONG BUY appeared (confirmation)
M15: Wait for Golden Cross or bounce from Fast EMA → ENTRY
Advantages:
Maximum reliability
Clear timeframe hierarchy
Large targets
14. How does indicator work on news?
Delta Adaptive EMA adapts excellently to news:
Before news:
Low volatility → Delta EMA becomes fast → pulls to price
During news:
Sharp volatility spike → Delta EMA slows → filters noise
After news:
Volatility normalizes → Delta EMA returns to normal
Recommendations:
Don't trade at news release moment (spreads widen)
Wait for STRONG signal after news (2-5 bars)
Use Delta Adaptive as Fast EMA for quick reaction
Widen stops by 50-100% during important news
Advanced Techniques
Technique 1: "Divergences with EMA"
Idea: Look for discrepancies between price and Fast EMA
Bullish divergence:
Price makes lower low
Fast EMA makes higher low
= Possible reversal up
Bearish divergence:
Price makes higher high
Fast EMA makes lower high
= Possible reversal down
How to trade:
Find divergence
Wait for STRONG signal in divergence direction
Enter on confirmation
Technique 2: "EMA Tunnel"
Idea: Use space between Fast and Slow EMA as "tunnel"
Rules:
Wide tunnel - strong trend, hold position
Narrow tunnel - weak trend or consolidation, caution
Tunnel narrowing - trend weakening, prepare to exit
Tunnel widening - trend strengthening, can add
Visually: Gradient Clouds show this automatically!
Trading:
Enter on STRONG signal (tunnel starts widening)
Hold while tunnel wide
Exit when tunnel starts narrowing
Technique 3: "Wave Analysis with Lambda"
Idea: Lambda Wave EMA creates sinusoid matching market cycles
Setup:
Lambda Base Period: 30
Lambda Wave Amplitude: 0.5
Lambda Wave Frequency: 50 (adjusted to asset cycle)
How to find correct Frequency:
Look at historical cycles (distance between local highs)
Average distance = your Frequency
Example: if highs every 40-60 bars, set Frequency = 50
Trading:
Enter when Lambda Wave at bottom of sinusoid (growth potential)
Exit when Lambda Wave at top (fall potential)
Combine with STRONG signals
Technique 4: "Cluster Analysis"
Idea: When all EMAs gather in narrow cluster = powerful breakout soon
Cluster signs:
All EMAs (Phi, Pi, e, Delta) within 0.5-1% of each other
Gradient Clouds almost invisible
Price jumping around all EMAs
Trading:
Identify cluster (all EMAs close)
Determine breakout direction (where more volume, higher TFs direction)
Wait for breakout and STRONG signal
Enter on confirmation
Target = cluster size × 3-5
This is very powerful technique for big moves!
Technique 5: "Sigma as Dynamic Level"
Idea: Sigma Composite EMA = average of all EMAs = magnetic level
Usage:
Enable Sigma Composite (Weighted Average)
Sigma works as dynamic support/resistance
Price often returns to Sigma before trend continuation
Trading:
In trend: Enter on bounces from Sigma
In range: Fade moves from Sigma (trade return to Sigma)
On breakout: Sigma becomes support/resistance

Solution: Trust signals or don't use indicator
2. "Will reverse now for sure"
Trading against STRONG trend
Result: stops, stops, stops
Solution: Trend is your friend, trade with trend
3. "Will hold a bit more"
Don't exit when STRONG signal disappears
Greed eats profit
Solution: If signal gone - exit!
4. "I'll recover"
After losses double risk
Result: huge losses
Solution: Fixed % risk ALWAYS
5. "I don't like this signal"
Skip signals because of "feeling"

Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score indicator is a sophisticated tool that combines the cumulative volume delta (CVD) with Z-Score normalization to provide traders with a clearer view of market dynamics. By analyzing volume imbalances and standardizing them through a Z-Score, this tool helps identify significant price movements and market trends while filtering out noise.
Core Concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a popular indicator that tracks the net difference between buying and selling volume over time. CVD helps traders understand whether buying or selling pressure is dominating the market. Positive CVD signals buying pressure, while negative CVD indicates selling pressure.
The addition of Z-Score normalization to CVD makes it easier to evaluate whether current volume imbalances are unusual compared to past behavior. Z-Score helps in detecting extreme conditions by showing how far the current CVD is from its historical mean in terms of standard deviations.
Key Features
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks the net buying vs. selling volume, allowing traders to gauge the overall market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: Converts CVD into a standardized value to highlight extreme movements in volume that are statistically significant.
Divergence Detection: The indicator can spot bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD, which can signal potential trend reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergence: Identifies price and CVD pivots, highlighting divergence patterns that are crucial for predicting price changes.
Trend Analysis: Colors bars according to trend direction, providing a visual indication of bullish or bearish conditions based on Z-Score.
How It Works
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): The CVD is calculated by summing the difference between buying and selling volume for each bar. It represents the net buying or selling pressure, giving insights into market sentiment.
Z-Score Normalization: The Z-Score is applied to the CVD to normalize its values, making it easier to compare current conditions with historical averages. A Z-Score greater than 0 indicates a bullish market, while a Z-Score less than 0 signals a bearish market.
Divergence Detection: The indicator detects regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences between price and CVD. These divergences often precede trend reversals, offering traders a potential entry point.
Pivot-Based Analysis: The indicator uses pivot highs and lows in both price and CVD to identify divergence patterns. A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low, but CVD fails to follow, suggesting weakening selling pressure. Conversely, a bearish divergence happens when price makes a higher high, but CVD doesn't confirm the move, indicating potential selling pressure.
Trend Coloring: The bars are colored based on the trend direction. Green bars indicate an uptrend (CVD is positive), and red bars indicate a downtrend (CVD is negative). This provides an easy-to-read visualization of market conditions.
Standard Deviation Levels: The indicator plots ±1σ, ±2σ, and ±3σ levels to indicate the degree of deviation from the average CVD. These levels act as thresholds for identifying extreme buying or selling pressure.
Customization Options
Anchor Timeframe: The user can define an anchor timeframe to aggregate the CVD, which can be customized based on the trader’s needs (e.g., daily, weekly, custom lower timeframes).
Z-Score Period: The period for calculating the Z-Score can be adjusted, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity.
Divergence Detection: The tool offers controls to enable or disable divergence detection, with the ability to adjust the lookback periods for pivot detection.
Trend Coloring and Visuals: Traders can choose whether to color bars based on trend direction, display standard deviation levels, or visualize the data as a histogram or line plot.
Display Options: The indicator also allows for various display options, including showing the Z-Score values and divergence signals, with customizable colors and line widths.
Alerts and Signals
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score comes with pre-configured alert conditions for:
Z-Score Crossovers: Alerts are triggered when the Z-Score crosses the 0 line, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Shifting Trend: Alerts for when the Z-Score shifts direction, signaling a change in market sentiment.
Divergence Detection: Alerts for both regular and hidden bullish and bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Extreme Imbalances: Alerts when the Z-Score reaches extreme positive or negative levels, indicating overbought or oversold market conditions.
Applications in Trading
Trend Identification: Use the Z-Score to confirm bullish or bearish trends based on cumulative volume data, filtering out noise and false signals.
Reversal Signals: Divergences between price and CVD can help identify potential trend reversals, making it a powerful tool for swing traders.
Volume-Based Confirmation: The Z-Score allows traders to confirm price movements with volume data, providing more reliable signals compared to price action alone.
Divergence Strategy: Use the divergence signals to identify potential points of entry, particularly when regular or hidden divergences appear.
Volatility and Market Sentiment: The Z-Score provides insights into market volatility by measuring the deviation of CVD from its historical mean, helping to predict price movement strength.
The Cumulative Volume Delta Z Score is a powerful tool that combines volume analysis with statistical normalization. By focusing on volume imbalances and applying Z-Score normalization, this indicator provides clear, reliable signals for trend identification and potential reversals. It is especially useful for filtering out market noise and ensuring that trades are based on significant price movements driven by substantial volume changes.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to add volume-based analysis to their strategy, offering a more robust and accurate way to gauge market sentiment and trend strength.
MACD Scaled Overlay█ OVERVIEW
The "MACD Scaled Overlay" indicator is an advanced version of the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator that displays signals directly on the price chart. Instead of a traditional separate panel, the MACD line, signal line, and histogram are scaled and overlaid on the price chart, making it easier to identify key price levels and potential reversal points. The indicator also supports the detection of divergences (regular and hidden) and offers extensive customization options, such as adjusting colors, line thickness, and enabling/disabling visual elements.
█ CONCEPTS
The "MACD Scaled Overlay" indicator is designed to simplify trend and reversal analysis by integrating MACD signals with the price chart. The MACD Scaled Overlay is scaled relative to the average candle range, allowing the lines and histogram to dynamically adjust to market volatility. Additionally, the indicator enables the detection of divergences (bullish and bearish, both regular and hidden) based on the traditional MACD histogram (before scaling), ensuring consistency with classic divergence analysis. The indicator is most effective when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as Fibonacci levels, pivot points, or trend lines.
█ MACD Calculations and Scaling
The indicator is based on the classic MACD formula, which includes:
-MACD Line: The difference between the fast EMA (default: 12) and the slow EMA (default: 26).
-Signal Line: The EMA of the MACD line (default: 9).
-Histogram: The difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Scaling is achieved by normalizing the MACD values relative to the standard deviation and the average candle range. This makes the lines and histogram dynamically adjust to market volatility, improving their readability and utility on the price chart. The scaling formulas are:
-MACD Scaled: macdNorm * avgRangeLines * scaleFactor
-Signal Scaled: signalNorm * avgRangeLines * scaleFactor
-Histogram Scaled: histNorm * avgRangeHist * scaleFactor
Where:
-macdNorm and signalNorm are the normalized MACD and signal line values.
-avgRangeLines and avgRangeHist are the average candle ranges.
-scaleFactor is the scaling multiplier (default: 2).
The positioning of the lines and histogram is relative to the candle midpoint (candleMid = (high + low) / 2), ensuring proper display on the price chart. Divergences are calculated based on the traditional MACD histogram (before scaling), maintaining consistency with standard divergence detection methodology.
█INDICATOR FEATURES
-Dynamic MACD and Signal Lines: Scaled and overlaid on the price chart, facilitating the identification of reversal points.
-Histogram: Displays the difference between the MACD and signal lines, dynamically adjusted to market volatility.
-Divergence Detection: Ability to detect regular and hidden divergences (bullish and bearish) based on the traditional MACD histogram, with options to enable/disable their display.
-Visual Customization: Options to adjust colors, line thickness, transparency, and enable/disable elements such as the zero line, MACD line, signal line, or histogram.
-Smoothing: Smoothing length for lines (default: 1) and histogram (default: 3). Smoothing may delay crossover signals, which should be considered during analysis.
-Alerts: Alert conditions for MACD and signal line crossovers, enabling notifications for potential buy/sell signals.
█ HOW TO SET UP THE INDICATOR
-Add the "MACD Scaled Overlay" indicator to your TradingView chart.
-Configure parameters in the settings, such as EMA lengths, scaling multiplier, or smoothing periods, to match your trading style.
-Enable or disable the display of the zero line, MACD line, signal line, or histogram based on your needs.
-Adjust colors and line thickness in the "Style" section and transparency settings in the input section to optimize visualization.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your chart, configure the parameters, and observe the interactions of the price with the MACD line, signal line, and histogram to identify potential entry and exit points. Key signals include:
-MACD and Signal Line Crossovers: A crossover of the MACD line above the signal line may indicate a buy signal (bullish cross), while a crossover below the signal line may indicate a sell signal (bearish cross).
-Crossings Through the Price Line (Zero): The MACD line or histogram crossing the price line (candle midpoint) may indicate a change in momentum. For example, the histogram moving from negative to positive values near the price line may signal increasing bullish trend strength.
-Divergences: Detection of regular and hidden divergences (bullish and bearish) based on the traditional MACD histogram can help predict trend reversals. Divergences are not standalone signals, as they are delayed by the specified pivot length (default: 3). However, they help strengthen the significance of other signals, such as crossovers or support/resistance levels.
The indicator is most effective when combined with other tools, such as Fibonacci levels, pivot points, or support/resistance lines, to confirm signals.
Smart Adaptive MACDAn advanced MACD variant that dynamically adapts to market volatility using ATR-based scaling.
Key Features:
Volatility-sensitive MACD and Signal lengths
Optional smoothed MACD line
Dynamic histogram heatmap (strong vs. weak momentum)
Built-in Regular and Hidden Divergence detection
Clear visual signals via solid (regular) and dashed (hidden) divergence lines
What makes this different:
Unlike traditional MACD indicators with fixed-length settings, this version adapts in real time
to changing volatility conditions. It shortens during high-momentum environments for faster
reaction, and lengthens during low-volatility phases to reduce noise. This allows better
alignment with market behavior and cleaner momentum signals.
Divergence Detection – How It Works
The Smart Adaptive MACD detects both regular and hidden divergences by comparing price action with the smoothed MACD line. It uses recent pivot highs and lows to evaluate divergence and draws lines on the chart when conditions are met.
Regular Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals potential reversals. It occurs when the price moves in one
direction while the MACD moves in the opposite.
Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price makes lower lows, but MACD makes higher lows.
Result: A solid green line is plotted beneath the MACD curve.
Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price makes higher highs, but MACD makes lower highs.
Result: A solid red line is plotted above the MACD curve.
Hidden Divergence Detection
This type of divergence signals trend continuation. It occurs when price pulls back slightly,
but the MACD shows deeper movement in the opposite direction.
Bullish Hidden Divergence:

Trend Strength MeterThe Trend Strength Meter (TSM) is a powerful and versatile indicator designed to help traders identify market trends, measure their strength, and detect potential reversals with ease. This indicator combines the power of moving averages, divergence detection, and a clean, customizable dashboard to provide actionable insights for traders of all levels.
How It Works
Trend Strength Calculation:
1. The TSM calculates the trend strength using the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): a fast EMA (default: 20) and a slow EMA (default: 50).
2. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the slow EMA, providing a clear measure of the trend's strength and direction.
Histogram Visualization:
1. A color-coded histogram visually represents the trend strength:
Green: Bullish trend
Red: Bearish trend
Gray: Neutral or no significant trend
2. A smoothed trend strength line (SMA of the trend strength) is also plotted for better clarity.
Divergence Detection:
1. The indicator detects bullish and bearish divergences using the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action.
2. Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low, signaling potential upward momentum.
3. Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high, signaling potential downward momentum.
=> Divergences are marked with arrows on the chart:
Green Arrow: Bullish divergence
Red Arrow: Bearish divergence
Dashboard:
1. A clean and informative dashboard displays key information:
Trend Strength Value: The current strength of the trend
Trend Direction: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Last Signal: Buy, Sell, or None (based on divergence signals)
The dashboard is fully customizable and can be positioned anywhere on the chart (e.g., top-right, bottom-left, center, etc.).
Key Features
1. Trend Strength Measurement: Quickly identify the strength and direction of the trend.
2. Divergence Detection: Spot potential reversals before they occur with bullish and bearish divergence signals.
3. Customizable Dashboard: Move the dashboard to your preferred location on the chart for better visibility.
4. User-Friendly Design: Clean visuals and intuitive color coding make it easy to interpret market conditions.
5. Actionable Signals: Provides clear Buy/Sell signals based on divergence, helping traders make informed decisions.
How to Use
1. Trend Confirmation:
Use the histogram and trend strength value to confirm the current market trend.
Green bars indicate a bullish trend, while red bars indicate a bearish trend.
2. Divergence Signals:
Look for divergence arrows (green for bullish, red for bearish) to anticipate potential reversals.
Combine divergence signals with other technical analysis tools for higher accuracy.
3. Dashboard Insights:
Monitor the dashboard for real-time updates on trend strength, direction, and the latest signal.
Use the "Last Signal" (Buy/Sell) to validate your trading decisions.
4. Custom Settings:
Adjust the EMA lengths and divergence lookback period to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Position the dashboard anywhere on the chart for convenience.
Best Practices
1. Use the TSM in conjunction with other indicators or price action analysis for confirmation.
2. Test the indicator on different timeframes to find the one that works best for your strategy.
3. Always practice proper risk management when trading.

Stochastic Fusion Elite [trade_lexx]📈 Stochastic Fusion Elite is your reliable trading assistant!
📊 What is Stochastic Fusion Elite ?
Stochastic Fusion Elite is a trading indicator based on a stochastic oscillator. It analyzes the rate of price change and generates buy or sell signals based on various technical analysis methods.
💡 The main components of the indicator
📊 Stochastic oscillator (K and D)
Stochastic shows the position of the current price relative to the price range for a certain period. Values above 80 indicate overbought (an early sale is possible), and values below 20 indicate oversold (an early purchase is possible).
📈 Moving Averages (MA)
The indicator uses 10 different types of moving averages to smooth stochastic lines.:
- SMA: Simple moving average
- EMA: Exponential moving average
- WMA: Weighted moving average
- HMA: Moving Average Scale
- KAMA: Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average
- VWMA: Volume-weighted moving average
- ALMA: Arnaud Legoux Moving Average
- TEMA: Triple exponential moving average
- ZLEMA: zero delay exponential moving average
- DEMA: Double exponential moving average
The choice of the type of moving average affects the speed of the indicator's response to market changes.
🎯 Bollinger Bands (BB)
Bands around the moving average that widen and narrow depending on volatility. They help determine when the stochastic is out of the normal range.
🔄 Divergences
Divergences show discrepancies between price and stochastic:
- Bullish divergence: price is falling and stochastic is rising — an upward reversal is possible
- Bearish divergence: the price is rising, and stochastic is falling — a downward reversal is possible
🔍 Indicator signals

Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)
The Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV) is a powerful tool designed to evaluate the strength of market breakouts and momentum trends , offering traders a comprehensive perspective on price action. This indicator combines the Donchian Channel with On-Balance Volume (OBV) to create a dynamic and easy-to-interpret metric scaled between -1 and 1 .
Key Features
Breakout Strength Analysis:
- The indicator assesses the strength of price breakouts relative to the upper and lower bounds of the Donchian Channel.
- Positive values close to 1 indicate a strong bullish breakout.
- Negative values close to -1 indicate a strong bearish breakout.
Momentum Detection with OBV:
- On-Balance Volume (OBV) tracks the cumulative buying and selling volume to gauge market momentum.
- The smoothed OBV trend ensures the momentum component aligns with price action, reducing noise.
Integrated Composite Value:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum into a single metric for enhanced clarity.
- The final composite value highlights whether the market is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Divergence Detection:
- Spot bullish divergences when the indicator rises while price falls, suggesting a potential upward reversal.
- Identify bearish divergences when the indicator falls while price rises, hinting at a potential downward reversal.
How It Works
Donchian Channel Analysis:
- Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period to establish the upper and lower channels .
- Breakouts beyond these channels contribute to the breakout strength component.
OBV Momentum:
- Measures cumulative volume trends to validate price movements.
- Momentum is derived from the rate of change in smoothed OBV values.
Composite Calculation:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum, normalized and scaled to -1 to 1 for clarity.
How to Use
Bullish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches 1 , it signals a strong upward breakout supported by positive OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Buy if price breaks the upper Donchian Channel with increasing OBV.
Bearish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches -1 , it indicates a strong downward breakout supported by negative OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Sell if price breaks the lower Donchian Channel with decreasing OBV.
Neutral Market:
- When the value is near 0 , the market is likely balanced with no significant breakout or momentum detected.
Divergence Opportunities:
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but the indicator trends upward → Potential upward reversal.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but the indicator trends downward → Potential downward reversal.
Customization Options

RSI Games 1.2he "RSI Games 1.2" indicator enhances the standard RSI by adding several layers of analysis:
Standard RSI Calculation: It calculates the RSI based on a configurable length (default 14 periods) and a user-selected source (default close price).
RSI Bands: It plots horizontal lines at 70 (red, overbought), 50 (yellow, neutral), and 30 (green, oversold) to easily identify extreme RSI levels.
RSI Smoothing with Moving Averages (MAs) and Bollinger Bands (BBs):
You can apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to smooth the RSI line.
If you choose "SMA + Bollinger Bands," the indicator will also plot Bollinger Bands around the smoothed RSI, providing dynamic overbought/oversold levels based on volatility.
The RSI line itself changes color based on whether it's above (green) or below (red) its smoothing MA.
It also fills the area between the RSI and its smoothing MA, coloring it green when RSI is above and red when below.
Bollinger Band Signals: When Bollinger Bands are enabled, the indicator marks "Buy" signals (green arrow up) when the RSI crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and "Sell" signals (red arrow down) when it crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
Background Coloring: The background of the indicator pane changes to light green when RSI is below 30 (oversold) and light red when RSI is above 70 (overbought), visually highlighting extreme conditions.
Divergence Detection: This is a key feature. The indicator automatically identifies and labels:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low. This often signals a potential reversal to the upside.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high. This often signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes a higher low, but RSI makes a lower low. This can indicate a continuation of an uptrend.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes a lower high, but RSI makes a higher high. This can indicate a continuation of a downtrend.
Divergences are visually marked with labels and can trigger alerts.
Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

GoatsGlowingRSIGoatsGlowingRSI is a visually enhanced and feature-rich RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator designed for deeper market insight and clearer signal visualization. It combines standard RSI analysis with gradient-colored backgrounds, glowing effects, and automated divergence detection to help traders spot potential reversals and momentum shifts more effectively.
Key Features:
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI:
Calculate RSI from any timeframe using the custom input. Leave it blank to use the current chart's timeframe.
✅ Dynamic Gradient Background:
A smooth gradient fill is applied between RSI levels from the lower band (30) to the upper band (70). The gradient shifts from blue (oversold) to red (overbought), visually highlighting the RSI's position and strength.
✅ Glowing RSI Line:
A three-layered glow effect surrounds the main RSI line, creating a striking white core with a purple aura that enhances visibility against dark or light chart themes.
✅ Custom RSI Levels:
Dashed horizontal lines at RSI 70 (overbought), RSI 30 (oversold), and a dotted midline at 50 help you interpret trend momentum and strength.
✅ Automatic Divergence Detection:
Built-in logic identifies bullish and bearish divergences by comparing RSI and price pivot points:
🟢 Bullish Divergence: RSI makes a higher low while price makes a lower low.
🔴 Bearish Divergence: RSI makes a lower high while price makes a higher high.
Divergences are marked on the RSI line with colored lines and labels ("Bull"/"Bear").
✅ Alerts Ready:
Get notified in real-time with alert conditions for both bullish and bearish divergence setups.

CBO (Candle Bias Oscillator)The Candle Bias Oscillator (CBO) with volume and ATR scaling is a unique technical analysis tool designed to capture market sentiment through the analysis of candlestick patterns, volume momentum, and market volatility. This indicator is built on the foundation of assessing the bias within a candlestick's body and wicks, adjusted for market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR), and further refined by comparing the Rate of Change (ROC) in volume and the adjusted bias. The culmination of these calculations results in the CBO, a smoothed oscillator that highlights potential market turning points through divergence analysis.
Key Features:
Bias Calculations: Utilizes the relationship between the candle's body and wicks to determine the market's immediate bias, offering a nuanced view beyond simple price action. Have you ever wanted to quantify exactly how bullish or bearish a particular candle or candlestick pattern is? Whether it's dojis, hammers, engulfing, gravestones, evening morning star, three soldiers etc. you don't have to memorize 50 candlestick patterns anymore.
Volatility Adjustment: Employs the ATR to adjust the bias calculation, ensuring the oscillator remains relevant across varying market conditions by accounting for volatility.
Momentum and Divergence: Measures the momentum in volume and bias through ROC calculations, identifying divergence that may signal reversals or significant price movements.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the CBO, derived from its own values, serving as a benchmark for identifying potential crossovers and divergences.
Utility and Application:
The CBO with Divergence Scaling is developed for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market dynamics beyond price movements alone. It is particularly useful for identifying potential reversals or continuation patterns early, by highlighting divergence between market sentiment (as expressed through candlestick bias) and actual volume movements. In this way, it aligns us retail traders with institutional traders and smart money. This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various time frames and market instruments, offering value to both short-term traders and long-term investors.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The direction and value of the CBO provide insights into the prevailing market trend. A positive oscillator value may indicate bullish sentiment, while a negative value suggests bearish sentiment.
Signal Line Crossovers: Crossovers between the CBO and its signal line can be used as potential buy or sell signals. A crossover above the signal line might indicate a buying opportunity, whereas a crossover below could suggest a selling point.
Divergence: Discrepancies between the CBO and price action (especially when confirmed by volume ROC) can highlight potential reversals.
Customization and Parameters: This script allows users to adjust several parameters, including oscillator periods, signal line periods, ATR periods, and ROC periods for divergence, to best fit their trading strategy and the characteristics of the market they are analyzing.
Conclusion:
The Custom Bias Oscillator with Divergence Scaling is a comprehensive tool designed to offer traders a multi-faceted view of market conditions, combining elements of price action, volatility, and momentum. By integrating these aspects into a single indicator, it aims to provide a more rounded and actionable insight into market trends and potential turning points.

Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index On ChartIntroduction
The Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index (RCRSI) OC is an indicator which tells the user what price is required to give a particular Cutlers Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) value, or cross its Moving Average (MA) signal line.
Overview
Background & Credits:
The relative strength index ( RSI ) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI , and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD . brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI .
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear control zone (20 - 38)
• Bear critical zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots which graphically display output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• RSI (eq) (previous RSI value)
• RSI MA signal line
• RSI Test price
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. ( RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline ( RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline ( RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges , double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT , was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.

Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline (RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline (RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges, double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT, was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Velocity Pressure Index | AlphaNattVelocity Pressure Index (VPI) | AlphaNatt
A sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines price velocity analysis with volume pressure dynamics to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
📊 KEY FEATURES
Dual Analysis System: Merges price velocity measurement with volume pressure analysis for comprehensive market momentum assessment
Dynamic Normalization: Automatically scales values between -100 and +100 for consistent readings across all market conditions
Adaptive Zones: Self-adjusting overbought/oversold levels based on recent price history
Multi-Layer Confirmation: Combines momentum, acceleration, and crossover signals for robust trade identification
Volume-Weighted Pressure: Differentiates between bullish and bearish volume to gauge true market sentiment
📈 HOW IT WORKS
The VPI calculates price velocity using linear regression of price changes, then weights this velocity by the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. This creates a momentum reading that accounts for both price movement speed and the volume conviction behind it.
Signal Generation:
Price velocity is measured over the specified period
Volume is separated into bullish (close > open) and bearish (close < open) pressure
Velocity is amplified or dampened based on volume pressure differential
The resulting index is normalized to oscillate between -100 and +100
A signal line smooths the oscillator for crossover detection
🎯 TRADING SIGNALS
Long Signals (Cyan #00F1FF):
Strong Bull: VPI > Signal with positive momentum and acceleration
Crossover Bull: VPI crosses above signal while above oversold zone
Divergence: Price makes lower low while VPI makes higher low
Short Signals (Magenta #FF019A):
Strong Bear: VPI < Signal with negative momentum and deceleration
Crossover Bear: VPI crosses below signal while below overbought zone
Divergence: Price makes higher high while VPI makes lower high

Relative Strength Index Remastered [CHE]Relative Strength Index Remastered — Enhanced RSI with robust divergence detection using price-based pivots and line-of-sight validation to reduce false signals compared to the standard RSI indicator.
Summary
RSI Remastered builds on the classic Relative Strength Index by adding a more reliable divergence detection system that relies on price pivots rather than RSI pivots alone, incorporating a line-of-sight check to ensure the RSI path between points remains clear. This approach filters out many false divergences that occur in the original RSI indicator due to its volatile pivot detection on the RSI line itself. Users benefit from clearer reversal and continuation signals, especially in noisy markets, with optional hidden divergence support for trend confirmation. The core RSI calculation and smoothing options remain familiar, but the divergence logic provides materially fewer alerts while maintaining sensitivity.
Motivation: Why this design?
The standard RSI indicator often generates misleading divergence signals because it detects pivots directly on the RSI values, which can fluctuate erratically in volatile conditions, leading to frequent false positives that confuse traders during ranging or choppy price action. RSI Remastered addresses this by shifting pivot detection to the underlying price highs and lows, which are more stable, and adding a validation step that confirms the RSI line does not cross the direct path between pivot points. This design targets the real problem of over-signaling in the original, promoting more actionable insights without altering the RSI's core momentum measurement.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: The classical TradingView RSI indicator, which uses simple RSI-based pivot detection for divergences.
- Architecture differences:
- Pivot identification on price extremes (highs and lows) instead of RSI values, extracting RSI levels at those points for comparison.
- Addition of a line-of-sight validation that checks the RSI path bar by bar between pivots to prevent signals where the line is interrupted.
- Inclusion of hidden divergence types alongside regular ones, using the same robust framework.
- Configurable drawing of connecting lines between validated pivot RSI points for visual clarity.
- Practical effect: Charts show fewer but higher-quality divergence markers and lines, reducing clutter from the original's frequent RSI pivot triggers; this matters for avoiding whipsaws in intraday trading, where the standard version might flag dozens of invalid setups per session.

How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the core RSI value based on recent price changes, separating upward and downward movements over the specified length and smoothing them to derive a momentum reading scaled between zero and one hundred. This value is then plotted in a separate pane with fixed upper and lower reference lines at seventy and thirty, along with optional gradient fills to highlight overbought and oversold zones.
For smoothing, a moving average type is applied to the RSI if enabled, with an option to add bands around it based on the variability of recent RSI values scaled by a multiplier. Divergence detection activates on confirmed price pivots: lows for bullish checks and highs for bearish. At each new pivot, the system retrieves the bar index and values (price and RSI) for the current and prior pivot, ensuring they fall within a configurable bar range to avoid unrelated points.
Comparisons then assess whether the price has made a lower low (or higher high) while the RSI at those points moves in the opposite direction—higher for bullish regular, lower for bearish regular. For hidden types, the directions reverse to capture trend strength. The line-of-sight check calculates the straight path between the two RSI points and verifies that the actual RSI values in between stay entirely above (for bullish) or below (for bearish) that path, breaking the signal if any bar violates it. Valid signals trigger shapes at the RSI level of the new pivot and optional lines connecting the points. Initialization uses built-in functions to track prior occurrences, with states persisting across bars for accurate historical comparisons. No higher timeframe data is used, so confirmation occurs after the right pivot bars close, minimizing live-bar repaints.
Parameter Guide
Length — Controls the period for measuring price momentum changes — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but add noise and more false signals; longer smooths trends but delays entries in fast markets.
Source — Selects the price input for RSI calculation — Default: Close — Trade-offs/Tips: Use high or low for volatility focus, but close works best for most assets; mismatches can skew overbought/oversold reads.
Calculate Divergence — Enables the enhanced divergence logic — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Disable for pure RSI view to save computation; essential for signal reliability over the standard method.
Type (Smoothing) — Chooses the moving average applied to RSI — Default: SMA — Trade-offs/Tips: None for raw RSI; EMA for quicker adaptation, but SMA reduces whipsaws; Bollinger Bands option adds volatility context at cost of added lines.
Length (Smoothing) — Period for the smoothing average — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Match RSI length for consistency; shorter boosts signal speed but amplifies noise in the smoothed line.
BB StdDev — Multiplier for band width around smoothed RSI — Default: 2.0 — Trade-offs/Tips: Lower narrows bands for tighter signals, risking more touches; higher widens for fewer but stronger breakouts.
Pivot Left — Bars to the left for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Increase for stricter pivots in noisy data, reducing signals; too high delays confirmation excessively.
Pivot Right — Bars to the right for confirming price pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Balances with left for symmetry; longer right ensures maturity but shifts signals backward.
Max Bars Between Pivots — Upper limit on distance for valid pivot pairs — Default: 60 — Trade-offs/Tips: Tighten for short-term trades to focus recent action; widen for swing setups but risks unrelated comparisons.
Min Bars Between Pivots — Lower limit to avoid clustered pivots — Default: 5 — Trade-offs/Tips: Raise to filter micro-moves; too low invites overlapping signals like the original RSI.
Detect Hidden — Includes trend-continuation hidden types — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Enable for full trend analysis; disable simplifies to reversals only, akin to basic RSI.
Draw Lines — Shows connecting lines between valid pivots — Default: True — Trade-offs/Tips: Turn off for cleaner charts; helps visually confirm line-of-sight in backtests.
Reading & Interpretation
The main RSI line oscillates between zero and one hundred, crossing above fifty suggesting building momentum and below indicating weakness; touches near seventy or thirty flag potential extremes. The optional smoothed line and bands provide a filtered view—price above the upper band on the RSI pane hints at overextension. Divergence shapes appear as upward labels for bullish (lime for regular, teal for hidden) and downward for bearish (red regular, orange hidden) at the pivot's RSI level, signaling a mismatch only after validation. Connecting lines, if drawn, slope between points without RSI interference, their color matching the shape type; a dashed style denotes hidden. Fewer shapes overall compared to the standard RSI mean higher conviction, but always confirm with price structure.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs on regular bullish shapes near support with higher highs in price; filter hidden bullish for pullback buys in uptrends, pairing with a rising smoothed RSI above fifty.
- Exits/Stops: Use bearish regular as reversal warnings to tighten stops; hidden bearish in downtrends confirms continuation—exit if lines show RSI crossing the path.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex and stocks on one-hour charts; for crypto volatility, widen pivot ranges to ten; scale min/max bars proportionally on daily for swings, avoiding the original's intraday spam.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm only after the right pivot bars close, so live bars may show tentative pivots that vanish on close, unlike the standard RSI's immediate RSI-pivot triggers—plan for this delay in automation. No higher timeframe calls, so no security-related repaints. Resources include up to two hundred lines and labels for dense charts, with a loop in validation scanning up to three hundred bars between pivots, which is efficient but could slow on very long histories. Known limits: Slight lag at pivot confirmation in trending markets; volatile RSI might rarely miss fine path violations; not ideal for gap-heavy assets where pivots skip.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with defaults for balanced momentum and divergence on most timeframes. For too many signals (like the original), raise pivot left/right to eight and min bars to ten to filter noise. If sluggish in trends, shorten RSI length to nine and enable EMA smoothing for faster adaptation. In high-volatility assets, widen max bars to one hundred but disable hidden to focus essentials. For clean reversal hunts, set smoothing to none and lines on.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
