Resolution : resolution of the indicator
Length : period of the efficiency ratio and the Wilder moving averages used in the script
Usage
If you are not interested in volatility during ranging markets, this indicator might result useful to you. An interesting aspect is that it both measures volatility, but also determine whether the market is trending or ranging, with a zero value indicating a ranging market.
Indicator against Atr, with both length = 14, our indicator might be easier to interpret.
Note
Thx to my twitter followers for their suggestions regarding this indicator. I apologize if it's a bit short, the original code was longer and included more options, but forcing a script to be lengthy is a really bad idea, so I stayed with something less flashy but certainly more practical, "classic Grover" some might say.
Thx for reading!

Moving Average Adaptive FilterThe Moving Avg Adaptive Filter (MAAF) was authored by Perry Kaufman in the Stocks and Commodities Magazine 03/1998
This is a volatility based indicator so when this indicator goes up, sell in the direction of how that stock is going. In other words go short when it is rising and the stock price is below the ema or go long when it is rising and the stock price is above the ema. Lower volatility means it is trading sideways or the current price action is about to reverse.

MS MONEY CCI SQUEEZEAbout
I have used this indicator to find many lucrative opportunities. This indicator takes the moving average of CCI in custom, volatility-specific conditions. CCI measures "overbought" in the red-shaded region and "Oversold" in the green-shaded region. The shaded regions do not constitute a buy/sell signal alone, the MS CCI Squeeze is best used when market conditions agree and is best used when the user has fundamental reasoning for "reversal-like" situations to align. The MS CCI Squeeze will soon have a synergistic partner called "MS RSI Squeeze" indicator that will look similar to help better measure volatility and strength trend.
About the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The commodity channel index (CCI) is an oscillator originally introduced by Donald Lambert in 1980. Since its introduction, the indicator has grown in popularity and is now a very common tool for traders in identifying cyclical trends not only in commodities, but also equities (stocks) and currency trading.
How to set an Alert
If the user wants to set an alert , click on one of the support/ resistance lines (black-dashed) near the zero mark. Clicking on the horizontal line above or below the zero line will populate a yellow arrow which will allow you to set alerts when wanted.

IO_ATR_MAThis is an ATR+MA indicator.. the general idea is:
- when ATR is higher than MA, volatility is high
- when ATR is lower than MA, volatility is low
IO_Volatility Quality Zero LineThis is the Volatility Quality Zero Line Indicator. This indicator measures volatility strength.
Kirshenbaum BandsThis indicator was originally developed by Paul Kirshenbaum, a mathematician with a Ph.D. in economics from New York University.
It uses the standard error of linear regression lines of the closing price to determine band width. This has the effect of measuring volatility around the current trend, rather than measuring volatility for changes in trend.
Good luck!
Coefficient of Variation [DW]This is a simple gauge of volatility using the Coefficient of Variation.
COV is calculated by dividing standard deviation of price by the expected (average) price.
Custom color scheme indicates increases and decreases in volatility, which is indicated when the COV forms new half period highs and lows.
Average Candle SizeI created this indicator because I couldn't find a simple tool that calculates just the average candle size without additional complexity. Built for traders who want a straightforward volatility measure they can fully understand. How it works:
1. Calculate high-low for each candle
2. Sum all results
3. Divide by the total number of candles
Simple math to get the average candle size of the period specified in Length.

Adjusting the inputs to the timeframe traded on is encouraged.
able MACD Overview
Purpose: The indicator combines the traditional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with a short-term “forecast” (projection) of MACD/histogram values to give early warning of momentum changes.
Typical outputs:
MACD line (fastEMA − slowEMA)
Signal line (EMA of MACD)
Histogram (MACD − signal)
Forecasted MACD or histogram projected N bars ahead
Optional buy/sell markers and alert conditions
Add the indicator to TradingView (Installation)
Open TradingView and the chart you want to apply the indicator to.
Click “Pine Editor” at the bottom of the chart.
Copy the contents of able_macd_forecast.pine into the Pine Editor window.
Click “Add to chart” (or Save then Add to chart). If it’s a study, it will appear on the chart below price.
If you plan to re-use the script, click Save and give it a meaningful name.
Inputs / Parameters (typical) Note: exact input names may differ in your script. Replace the names below with the script’s input labels when you inspect it.
Source: price source for calculations (close, hl2, etc.).
Fast Length: length for the fast EMA (commonly 12).
Slow Length: length for the slow EMA (commonly 26).
Signal Length: length for the MACD signal EMA (commonly 9).
Forecast Length / Horizon: how many bars ahead the script projects the MACD/histogram (e.g., 1–5).
Forecast Method / Smoothing: choice of projection method (linear regression, EMA extrapolation, simple slope * N, etc.) if available.
Histogram Thresholds: numeric thresholds to emphasize significant momentum (optional).
Show Forecast: toggle on/off the forecast plot.
Alerts On/Off toggles: enable or disable alert conditions baked into the indicator.
Visual / Style settings: colors, plot thickness, histogram style (columns/areas), show labels, show buy/sell arrows.
How the indicator is typically calculated (summary)
MACD line = EMA(source, fast) − EMA(source, slow)
Signal line = EMA(MACD line, signal length)
Histogram = MACD − Signal
Forecast = method-specific short-term projection of MACD or histogram (for example: extend the last slope forward, apply linear regression to MACD values and extrapolate N bars, or apply an additional smoothing and extend that value) Note: For exact math, I need to inspect the script; this is the typical approach.
How to read the indicator (signals & interpretation)
Bullish signal:
MACD line crossing above the signal line (MACD cross up).
Histogram turns positive (cross above zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving higher in the next N bars (if forecast is positive or trending up).
Bearish signal:
MACD line crossing below the signal line (MACD cross down).
Histogram turns negative (cross below zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving lower ahead.
Confirmations:
Use price action (higher highs/lows for bullish, lower highs/lows for bearish).
Volume or other momentum/confluence indicators (RSI, ADX).
Divergences:
Bullish divergence: price makes lower low while MACD histogram makes higher low.
Bearish divergence: price makes higher high while MACD histogram makes lower high.
Forecast behavior:
If the forecast leads the MACD cross (forecast crosses before the current MACD does), it’s an early warning.
Use caution: forecasts are prone to false signals; always confirm.
Common trading setups using this indicator
Conservative:
Wait for MACD to cross signal + histogram above zero + forecast already trending same direction.
Use stop below recent swing low (for long) or above recent swing high (for short).
Aggressive (early entry):
Enter when forecast turns positive while MACD still below signal (anticipating cross).
Use tighter stops and smaller position sizes.
Exit rules:
Opposite MACD cross, histogram flipping sign, or a target based on risk-reward.
Use trailing stop based on ATR or structure.
Example settings for different timeframes (starting points)
Scalping / 5–15 min:
Fast 8, Slow 21, Signal 5, Forecast 1–2
Intraday / 1H:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 2–3
Swing / 4H–Daily:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 3–5 Adjust based on the asset volatility and backtests.
Adding alerts (TradingView)
Click the “Alerts” button (clock icon) or press Alt + A.
In the Condition dropdown, select the indicator name (able_macd_forecast) and choose a plotted series or built-in alert condition (if the script uses alertcondition).
Common alert types:
MACD crosses Signal (Crossing)
Histogram crosses 0 (Crossing)
Forecast crosses 0 or Forecast trend change (if provided)
Message templates:
“{{ticker}}: MACD crossed above signal on {{interval}}”
“{{ticker}} Forecast positive: MACD forecast shows upward momentum”
Customize the message for your trade automation or notifications.
Configure frequency (Only once, Once per bar, or Once per bar close) — for signals like crossovers, “Once per bar close” is usually safer to avoid repainting issues. Note: If the script includes alertcondition() calls with explicit IDs/messages, use those directly — they are the most reliable for automation.
Backtesting / Strategy conversion
If this script is a study (indicator), you can:
Convert it to a strategy by adding strategy.* order calls (strategy.entry, strategy.close) using the entry/exit logic you prefer, or
Use TradingView’s “Bar Replay” to manually test signals across different markets/timeframes.
If you want, I can help convert or write a strategy wrapper that uses the indicator’s signals to place backtest trades (I’ll need the code).
Practical tips & best practices
Use higher timeframe confirmation for lower-timeframe entries (e.g., check daily MACD momentum before trading 15m signals).
Beware of choppy markets; MACD / forecast may produce whipsaws. Combine with trend filters (moving average direction, ADX).
If you rely on forecasted values, prefer alerts “on bar close” when possible to reduce false alerts from intra-bar noise.
Tune parameters for the specific asset (FX, crypto, stocks have different behavior).
Record each signal and outcome for a sample period (20–100 trades) to evaluate performance.
Troubleshooting
Indicator won’t add: verify Pine version in script header (//@version=4 or //@version=5). TradingView may reject scripts with unsupported version syntax.
Plots missing: check script inputs (Some scripts hide plots if toggles are off).
Alerts firing too often: change alert frequency to “Once per bar close” or adjust threshold values.
Forecast seems to repaint: some forecast methods can repaint (use “bar_index” or store values only on closed bars, or use non-repainting forecast methods). Ask me to inspect the script for repainting logic.
What I can do next (recommended)
If you paste the content of able_macd_forecast.pine here, I will:
Produce a precise, line-by-line usage guide mapping to the exact input names and default values.
Show the exact plotted series names and how to reference them for alerts.
Point out any repainting risks and suggest fixes.
Provide example alert messages that match the script’s alertcondition IDs (if any).
Optionally convert it into a strategy for backtesting, or add non-repainting forecast logic if needed.
Hindenburg OmenThe Hindenburg Omen highlights periods of internal market stress — when both new 52-week highs and new lows expand while the NYSE remains in an uptrend.
This condition often precedes major corrections or volatility spikes by revealing divergence beneath the surface of an advancing market.
The indicator triggers when four classic breadth rules align: elevated highs and lows, a positive trend, a negative McClellan Oscillator, and a highs-to-lows ratio under 2:1.
Use it on broad indices (NYSE, S&P 500) as an early-warning context tool, NOT a standalone sell signal.

XAUUSD Family Scalping (5min)🟡 XAUUSD Family Scalping 5-Min — Momentum Precision Indicator
Overview
This indicator is built for XAUUSD (Gold) on the 5-minute timeframe and is designed for short-term momentum scalping.
It helps traders identify early reversal zones, confirm momentum direction, and detect exhaustion points during high-volatility market moves.
Core Concept
The indicator measures momentum strength and price acceleration using a smoothed oscillator.
It features two adjustable thresholds:
Overbought level: 58
Oversold level: -58
When the momentum line crosses above or below these zones, it signals potential trend continuation or reversal opportunities.
Features
Detects short-term momentum shifts on XAUUSD 5M.
Works with EMA-based trend confirmation (optional).
Adaptive smoothing reduces noise and false reversals.
Highlights overbought/oversold areas visually.
Can be combined with price action or other oscillators for confluence.
Usage
Instrument: XAUUSD (Gold)
Best timeframe: 5-minute (scalping setup)
Use case: Detecting momentum exhaustion and reversal entries.
Sessions: London & New York recommended.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for market analysis and educational purposes.
No indicator guarantees profit — use proper risk management and test before live trading.
Rocket Scan – Midday Movers (No Pullback)This indicator is designed to spot intraday breakout movers that often appear after the market open — the ones that rip out of nowhere and cause FOMO if you’re late.
🔑 Core Logic
• Momentum Burst: Detects sudden price pops (ROC) with confirming relative volume.
• Squeeze → Breakout: Finds low-volatility compressions (tight Bollinger bandwidth) and flags the first breakout move.
• VWAP Reclaims: Highlights strong reversals when price reclaims VWAP on volume.
• Relative Volume (RVOL): Filters for unusual activity vs. recent averages.
• Gap Filter: Skips large overnight gappers, focuses on fresh intraday movers.
• Relative Strength: Optional filter requiring the symbol to outperform SPY (and sector ETF if chosen).
• Session Window: Default 10:30–15:30 ET to ignore noisy open action and catch true midday moves.
🎯 Use Case
• Built for traders who want early alerts on midday runners without waiting for pullbacks.
• Helps identify potential entry points before FOMO kicks in.
• Works best on liquid tickers (stocks, ETFs, crypto) with reliable intraday volume.
📊 Visuals
• Plots fast EMA, slow EMA, and VWAP for trend context.
• Paints green ▲ for long signals and red ▼ for short signals on the chart.
• Info label shows RVOL, ROC, RS filter status, and gap conditions.
🚨 Alerts
Two alert conditions included:
• Rocket: Midday LONG → Fires when bullish conditions align.
• Rocket: Midday SHORT → Fires when bearish conditions align.

MTF Levels [OmegaTools]📖 Introduction
The Ω Levels Indicator is a complete market structure and level-mapping framework designed to help traders identify key zones where price is likely to react.
It blends classic technical anchors (VWAP, pivots, means, standard deviations) with modern statistical pattern recognition to dynamically project areas of manipulation, extension, and equilibrium.
At its core, Ω Levels creates an evolving map of market balance vs. imbalance, showing traders where liquidity is most likely to build and where price could pivot or accelerate.
But what makes it truly unique is the Pivot Forecaster — an embedded predictive engine that applies machine-learning inspired logic to recognize conditions that historically precede market turning points.
🔎 Key Features
Customizable Levels Framework
Define up to three levels (manipulation, extensions, VWAP, pivots, stdev bands, or prior extremes).
Choose mean references such as Open, VWAP, Pivot Mean, or Previous Session Mean.
Style controls (solid, dotted, dashed) and fill modes (internal, external, ranges) allow you to adapt the chart to your visual workflow.
Dynamic Zone Highlighting
Automatic fills between internal/external levels, or between specific level pairs (1–2, 1–3, 2–3).
Makes it easy to visualize value areas, expansions, and compression zones at a glance.
Multi-Timeframe Anchoring
Works on any timeframe, but calculations can be anchored to a higher timeframe (e.g., show daily VWAP & pivots on a 15m chart).
This allows traders to align intraday execution with higher timeframe context.
Pivot Forecaster (Machine Learning / Pattern Recognition)
This is the advanced predictive component.
The algorithm collects historical conditions observed around pivot highs and lows (volume state, ATR state, % candle expansion, oscillator conditions).
It then builds statistical “profiles” of typical pivot behavior and compares them in real-time against current market conditions.
When conditions match the “signature” of a pivot, the indicator highlights a Forecast Pivot High or Forecast Pivot Low (displayed as small diamond markers).
This functions as a pattern-recognition system, effectively learning from past pivots to anticipate where the next turning point is more likely to occur.
⚡ How Traders Can Use It
Intraday Execution: Use VWAP, manipulation, and extension levels to frame trades around liquidity zones.
Swing Context: Overlay higher timeframe pivots and means to guide medium-term positioning.
Fade Setups: Forecasted pivots often coincide with exhaustion zones where fading momentum carries edge.
Breakout Validation: When price breaks a structural level but the forecaster does not confirm a pivot, continuation probability is higher.
Risk Management: Levels provide natural stop/target placements, while pivot forecasts serve as warning signals for potential reversals.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Timeframe: Choose the anchor timeframe for calculations (default: Daily).
Means: Two selectable mean references (Open, VWAP, Pivot Point, Previous Mean).
Levels: Three levels can be customized (Manipulation, Extension, 1–2 StDev, Pivot Point, VWAP, Previous Extremes).
Fill Modes: Highlight zones between internal/external levels or custom ranges.
Visual Customization: Colors, line styles, fill opacity, and toggle for old levels.
Pivot Forecaster: Fully automated — no settings required, it adapts to instrument and timeframe.
🧭 Best Practices
Align Levels With Market Profile: Treat the levels as dynamic S/R zones and watch how price interacts with them.
Use Forecaster as Confirmation: The diamonds are not standalone signals; they are context filters that help you decide whether a move has higher reversal odds.
Higher Timeframe Anchoring: On intraday charts, set the timeframe to Daily or Weekly to trade with institutional levels.
Combine With ATR: Pair with the Ω ATR Indicator to size positions according to volatility while Ω Levels provides the structural roadmap.
📌 Summary
The Ω Levels Indicator is more than a level plotter — it’s a market map + predictive engine.
By combining traditional levels with an intelligent pivot forecaster, it gives traders both the static structure of where price should react, and the dynamic signal of where it is likely to react next.
This dual-layer approach — structural + predictive — makes it an invaluable tool for discretionary intraday traders, swing traders, and anyone who wants to anticipate price behavior instead of just reacting to it.
B3 – VIX + Breadth + SR + Projeção 14dA comprehensive technical analysis tool that combines volatility proxies (HV, ATR, BB Width, composite VolIndex), market breadth (internal and multi-timeframe), pivot-based support/resistance with strength and confluence, and a 14-day linear regression projection with confidence bands. Designed to provide a holistic view of trend, risk, and key price levels for swing and medium-term trading decisions.
Shock Detector: Price Jerk with Std-Dev BandsDetect sudden shocks in market behaviour
This indicator measures the jerk of price – the third derivative of price with respect to time (rate of change of acceleration). It highlights sudden accelerations and decelerations in price movement that are often invisible with standard momentum or volatility indicators.
Per-bar or time-scaled derivatives (choose whether calculations are based on bars or actual seconds).
Features
Log-price option for more stable readings across different price levels.
Optional smoothing with EMA to reduce noise.
Line or column view for flexible visualization.
Standard deviation bands (±1σ and ±2σ), centered either on zero or the rolling mean.
Auto window selection (1 day to 4 weeks), adaptive to chart timeframe.
Color-coded jerk: green for positive, red for negative.
Optional filled bands for easy visual context of normal vs. extreme jerk moves.
How to Use
Use jerk to identify sudden shifts in market dynamics, where price movement is not just changing direction but changing its acceleration.
Bands help highlight when jerk values are statistically unusual compared to recent history.
Combine with trend or momentum indicators for potential early warning of breakouts, reversals, or exhaustion.
Why it’s useful
Most indicators measure price, velocity (returns), or acceleration (momentum). This goes one step further to look at jerk, giving you a tool to spot “shock” movements in the market. By framing jerk within standard deviation bands, it’s easy to see whether current moves are ordinary or exceptional.

Monthly Expected Move (IV + Realized)What it does
Overlays 1-month expected move bands on price using both forward-looking options data and backward-looking realized movement:
IV30 band — from your pasted 30-day implied vol (%)
Straddle band — from your pasted ATM ~30-DTE call+put total
HV band — from Historical Volatility computed on-chart
ATR band — from ATR% extrapolated to ~1 trading month
Use it to quickly answer: “How much could this stock move in ~1 month?” and “Is the market now pricing more/less movement than we’ve actually been getting?”
Inputs (quick)
Implied (forward-looking)
Use IV30 (%) — paste annualized IV30 from your options platform.
Use ATM 30-DTE Straddle — paste Call+Put total (per share) at the ATM strike, ~30 DTE.
Realized (backward-looking)
HV lookback (days) — default 21 (≈1 trading month).
ATR length — default 14.
Note: TradingView can’t fetch option data automatically. Paste the IV30 % or the straddle total you read from your broker (use Mark/mid prices).
How it’s calculated
IV band (±%) = IV30 × √(21/252) (annualized → ~1-month).
Straddle band (±%) = (ATM Call + Put) / Spot to that expiry (≈30 DTE).
HV band (±%) = stdev(log returns, N) × √252 × √(21/252).
ATR band (±%) = (ATR(len)/Close) × √21.
All bands are plotted as upper/lower envelopes around price, plus an on-chart readout of each ±% for quick scanning.
How to use it (at a glance)
IV/Straddle bands wider than HV/ATR → market expects bigger movement than recent actuals (possible catalyst/expansion).
All bands narrow → likely a low-mover; look elsewhere if you want action.
HV > IV → realized swings exceed current pricing (mean-reversion or vol bleed often follows).
Pro tips
For ATM straddle: pick the expiry closest to ~30 DTE, use the ATM strike (closest to spot), and add Call Mark + Put Mark (per share). If the exact ATM strike isn’t quoted, average the two neighboring strikes.
The simple straddle/spot heuristic can read slightly below the IV-derived 1σ; that’s normal.
Keep the chart on daily timeframe—the math assumes trading-day conventions (~252/yr, ~21/mo).
MACD-V (Volatility-Normalised Momentum) — Spiroglou, 2022Volatility-normalized MACD per Alex Spiroglou (2022):
MACD-V = (EMA12 − EMA26) / ATR26 × 100, so momentum is expressed in ATR units and stays comparable across assets/timeframes.
What you get
• Trend-colored line: green when price ≥ EMA200, red otherwise.
• Guides: ±50 / ±100 / 0; Extremes: ±140 (editable).
• Regime shading: OB ≥ +140 shaded red; OS ≤ −140 shaded green.
• Clean, on-curve markers: small circles on the MACD-V line at the four edge events — OB (enter ≥ +threshold), OBX (cross back down), OS (enter ≤ −threshold), OSX (cross back up).
• Text labels are off by default; optional toggle only for OB/OBX.
• Signal & histogram: EMA(9) of MACD-V and (MACD-V − Signal) columns.
• Alerts: OB/OS entries & exits included.
How to use
• Favor longs when MACD-V > 0 (ideally > +50); respect OB for possible exhaustion.
• Favor shorts when MACD-V < 0 (ideally < −50); respect OS for possible exhaustion.
• Because it’s ATR-normalized, thresholds transfer well across symbols and timeframes.
