L1 Mid-Term Swing Oscillator v1Level: 1
Background
Oscillators are widely used set of technical analysis indicators. They are popular primarily for their ability to alert of a possible trend change before that change manifests itself in price and volume . They should work best in times of sideways markets.
Function
L1 Short-Mid-Long-Term Swing Oscillator puts three terms of oscillators to cover short-term, middle-term and long-term oscillators at the same time. By resonating all these three oscillators, short-term scalping signal and middle term swing signal are disclosed. You can see both short and mid term signal under one indicator which give you more confidence to follow the trend.
Key Signal
I didn't handle the key signals well. I piled up all the useful signals I found, and it is really difficult to classify them one by one. I feel tired when I think about this problem. Therefore, the code of the overall signal is rather confusing, sorry.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Three oscillators are used to cover short, mid, long term oscillations.
2. Short-Mid term resonance can be observed to have higher confidence level.
3. Use single indicator for scalping and swing trading is possible.
Cons:
1. No deep dive into very accurate long and short entries.
2. A trade off between sensitivity and stability may be needed by traders' subjective judge.
Remarks
I enjoyed the fun of put three different oscillator together to cover short, mid, long terms. But how to use them perfectly is really more brainstorming.
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

Bandpass Cycle Indicator [Ehlers]This indicator is NOT used for entry and exit conditions when trading. Instead, it's purpose is to tell you what the state of the market is: trending or cyclical.
>WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is especially useful for strategies that use scalping or martingale betting to turn a profit. You don't want to be caught in a bullish trend with several open short orders. Algo traders welcome.
>HOW DOES IT WORK?
I'm glad you asked. It's based on Ehlers' work regarding signal filtering. Essentially, it uses a bandpass filter to reduce noise that is inherent in the market and display the underlying frequency.
First, we get rid of the high-frequency noise - think jitters, long wicks, etc... price action that usually effects EMAs and other MAs. We don't want any of that.
Next, we get rid of low-frequency noise - this is a little more difficult to picture, but we're essentially ignoring cycles (Elliot waves) from other longer time frames. We don't care if the Daily bars are just about to reverse if it doesn't affect our scalping strategy.
Finally, we find the root mean square (RMS) of the high and low points of our newly created signal (red) and plot them (black). These will act as triggers to tell us if a market is in cycle or trending.
>HOW DO YOU READ IT?
Background colors:
-Blue is cycle - you're safe.
-Red is trending down
-Green is trending up
Crossovers:
-Red above Upper Black: Uptrend
-Red below Lower Black: Downtrend
-Red in the middle: Cycle
>IS IT PREDICTIVE?
Momentum tends to pick up quickly and decline quickly, so if you'll often see a small Red or Green strip before a large price movement.
After long periods of cyclic movement (or consolidation), there isn't much momentum in the system, so any small price action will be considered a trend -> these small movements are picked up by other human traders and bots. Trading volume increases more and more until you have a swing in one direction.
So yes, it can be predictive due to the nature of signals and oscillation. Maybe not necessarily predictive of which direction price will go, but when volatility is about to increase.
5 EMAs plus Crossing AlertsHi all,
This is a simple indicator that plots 5 EMA lines of your choice to the screen.
Can be used to trigger scalping Bots (stoploss around 0.5% recommended, take profit 1% or higher, please backtest!)
Also can be used for manual scalping, 1 or 2 candles at a time.
Features:
1) Alerts are triggered when EMAs 1 (Signal line) and 2 (Baseline) cross - a Long signal is called if the cross is above EMA 3 (Trendline), a short if the cross is below EMA3
2) Signals are represented visually as a triangle on the chart, below the candles is a long, above is a short
3) TradingView Alerts can be easily set as I have labelled the signals clearly as many other Indicators like this aren’t easy to work out if trying to create alerts to trigger a 3commas bot, for example!
Each EMA is fully customisable and if you wish to take advantage of the alerts, only a few simple rules need to be followed:
EMA1 needs to be less than EMA2.
EMA2 needs to be the same or greater than EMA3
That’s it, happy trading!
Big shout out to B and the gang over at Crypto Trading Group!

HARSI RSI Shadow SHORT Strategy M1HARSI – Heikin Ashi RSI Shadow Indicator
HARSI (Heikin Ashi RSI Shadow) is a momentum-based oscillator that combines the concept of Heikin Ashi smoothing with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to reduce market noise and highlight short-term trend strength.
Instead of plotting traditional price candles, HARSI transforms RSI values into a zero-centered oscillator (RSI − 50), allowing traders to clearly identify bullish and bearish momentum around the median line. The smoothing mechanism inspired by Heikin Ashi candles helps filter out false signals, making the indicator especially effective on lower timeframes such as M1.
The RSI Shadow reacts quickly to momentum shifts while maintaining smooth transitions, which makes it suitable for scalping and intraday trading. Key threshold levels (such as ±20 and ±30) can be used to detect momentum expansion, exhaustion, and potential continuation setups.
Supply & Demand (MTF) [Bearly Invested]Overview
This multi-timeframe supply and demand zone indicator identifies institutional price areas using a unique "Last 2 Opposite Candles" methodology. Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators, this script detects zones by analyzing momentum-based impulse moves and marking the base formed by the last two opposite-colored candles before the displacement.
How It Works
Zone Detection Logic
The indicator identifies supply and demand zones through a four-step process:
Momentum Detection: Monitors for consecutive candles with body sizes exceeding the 20-period average body size by a configurable multiplier (default 0.5x)
Impulse Confirmation: When the required number of momentum candles (default: 4 candles within 4-bar span) is detected, the script identifies a potential impulse move
Base Identification: Looks back through all consecutive momentum bars, then scans up to 50 bars to find the last two opposite-colored candles that formed before the impulse
Zone Creation: Creates a supply/demand zone using the combined high and low of those two opposite candles
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator supports up to three simultaneous timeframes, allowing you to identify higher timeframe zones while trading on lower timeframes. Each timeframe independently calculates zones using its own momentum criteria, providing confluence when multiple timeframe zones align.
Zone Combination Feature
When "Combine Zones" is enabled, overlapping zones from different timeframes or detection instances are automatically merged into single zones. Combined zones display all contributing timeframes in the label (e.g., "15 Min & 30 Min").
Zone Management
Invalidation Methods
Choose between two zone invalidation approaches:
Wick: Zone remains valid until price wicks through the boundary
Close: Zone remains valid until a candle closes through the boundary
Zone Filtering
The script includes built-in filters to reduce noise:
Minimum zone size requirement (10 bars on detection timeframe)
Maximum zone size limit (1.5x ATR)
Minimum 5-bar cooldown between new zone detections
Distance-based filtering (zones beyond max lookback are hidden)
Key Features
Retest & Break Detection
Retests: Automatically marks when price retests an active zone with "R" labels
Breaks: Optionally displays "B" labels when zones are invalidated
Built-in cooldown system prevents label spam (5-bar minimum between retests)
Alert Conditions
Four alert types are included:
Supply Zone Retest
Demand Zone Retest
Supply Zone Break
Demand Zone Break
Configuration Guide
General Settings
Zone Count: High (30 zones), Medium (5), Low (3), or One (single most recent zone per type)
Momentum Count: Number of consecutive momentum candles required (default: 4)
Momentum Span: Maximum bars to scan for momentum confirmation (default: 4)
Max Lookback For Opposite Candles: How far back to search for base candles (default: 50)
Max Distance To Last Bar: Controls historical zone visibility (High: 1250 bars, Normal: 500, Low: 150)
Timeframe Configuration
Enable up to three timeframes simultaneously. When multiple timeframes show the same value (e.g., chart timeframe), duplicate detection automatically disables redundant calculations.
Visual Options
Customizable supply/demand colors with transparency
"Show Historic Zones" toggles visibility of broken/invalidated zones
Text color and label positioning controls
Combined zones display with increased opacity for emphasis
Best Practices
Timeframe Selection: Use higher timeframes (15m, 30m, 1H) for swing trades; lower timeframes work for scalping when combined with HTF confluence
Zone Invalidation: "Close" method reduces false breaks from wicks; "Wick" method is more conservative
Zone Count: Start with "Medium" or "Low" settings to avoid chart clutter, especially on lower timeframes
Momentum Parameters: Lower values (3-4) detect more zones; higher values (5-6) create stricter, higher-quality zones
Combine Zones: Enable this feature to merge overlapping multi-timeframe zones for cleaner charts and stronger confluence areas
Important Notes
Zones are calculated in real-time on the detection timeframe and displayed on your chart timeframe
The indicator looks back a maximum of 2000 bars for calculations
Maximum of 500 boxes/labels can be displayed simultaneously due to Pine Script limitations
Zones older than the "Max Distance" setting are automatically hidden but still tracked for break/retest detection
The "Last 2 Opposite Candles" method may produce zones of varying sizes depending on the range of those base candles
Advanced Momentum TrackerThe Advanced Momentum Tracker (AMT) is a technical indicator designed to identify high-probability trend reversals and momentum shifts in real-time. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on mathematical formulas, AMT analyzes price action structure and historical patterns to detect when market momentum is shifting from bullish to bearish (and vice versa).
Core Methodology:
The indicator tracks consecutive price movements and maintains a comprehensive database of historical momentum patterns. It identifies trend changes by analyzing:
Sequential candle relationships (opens and closes)
Break of key trailing stop levels formed by recent price action
Historical success rates of similar momentum patterns
Key Features
1. Dynamic Levels:
Automatically plots real-time dynamic trailing stop levels based on current momentum
Color-coded lines: Green for bullish momentum, Red for bearish momentum
These levels act as trigger points for potential trend changes
2. Entry Signal Markers:
Clear BUY (↑) and SELL (↓) arrows when momentum shifts are detected
Arrows positioned above/below candles for maximum visibility ,Signals only appear on confirmed trend changes
3. Momentum Score Display:
Shows statistical probability based on historical pattern analysis
Displays strength percentage of current momentum continuation
Helps traders assess confidence level of the current trend
4. Exit Zone Indicator:
Plots recommended exit levels for active positions
Dynamic color coding: Red for long exits, Green for short exits
Warning system (orange) when price breaches exit zones
5. Position Management Filter:
Optional risk filter to avoid trades with excessive distance from trigger level
Customizable position threshold percentage
Helps maintain consistent risk-reward ratios
6. Comprehensive Alert System:
Customizable alert messages for both long and short signals
Configurable alert frequency (once per bar or once per bar close)
Real-time notifications for all signal types
Customization Options-
Visual Settings:
Toggle visibility of current price level, momentum score, and exit zones
Customizable colors for all elements (bullish/bearish themes)
Adjustable line thickness for dynamic levels
Entry Markers:
Custom colors for long and short entry signals
Adjustable arrow distance from candles
Core Parameters:
Historical Depth: Amount of past data to analyze (default: 20,000 bars)
Sensitivity Level: Controls how strong a move must be to trigger signals (default: 4)
Higher values = fewer but stronger signals
Lower values = more signals with earlier entries
Position Management:
Enable/disable position filter
Set maximum acceptable risk threshold as percentage
How It Works:-
Momentum Detection Engine: The script continuously monitors price action, tracking each bullish and bearish leg. It maintains arrays of opens, closes, and counts to build a comprehensive picture of market structure.
Pattern Recognition: When price breaks key levels (minimum/maximum of recent candles based on sensitivity), the indicator recognizes a potential momentum shift.
Statistical Validation: The script compares the current pattern against its historical database to calculate the probability of momentum continuation.
Signal Generation: When a valid trend change is detected (and passes the position filter if enabled), entry signals are displayed with corresponding exit zones.
Best Use Cases:
Swing trading on any timeframe (works on 1m to 1D charts)
Trend reversal identification
Momentum trading strategies
Works on all markets: Forex, Stocks, Crypto, Indices, Commodities etc
Recommended Settings:
Scalping/Day Trading: Sensitivity 2-3, Historical Depth 10,000-20,000
Swing Trading: Sensitivity 3-4, Historical Depth 20,000-30,000
Position Trading: Sensitivity 4-5, Historical Depth 30,000+
Important Notes:
Signals appear only on confirmed bars (not on real-time candles unless confirmed)
The momentum score becomes more accurate as more historical data is processed
Position filter should be adjusted based on the volatility of the instrument being traded
Best used in conjunction with proper risk management and position sizing
What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike indicators that simply apply mathematical formulas to price data, AMT learns from historical price behavior. It doesn't just tell you what happened—it tells you what's likely to happen next based on thousands of similar situations in the past. The statistical momentum score provides an edge that pure technical indicators cannot offer.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own analysis. Happy Trading !!
HOHO Oscillator Squeeze With AGAIG TurnsHOHO OSCILLATOR SQUEEZE WITH AGAIG TURN DETECTION
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
This powerful indicator combines three proven trading concepts into one visually stunning, highly accurate momentum and trend analysis tool:
• HOHO (Hump Oscillator) - Multi-timeframe momentum oscillator
• Squeeze Indicator - Bollinger Bands/Keltner Channel volatility compression detector

The result is a comprehensive trading system that identifies high-probability entry and exit points with exceptional visual clarity.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
KEY FEATURES
HOHO OSCILLATOR
The foundation of this indicator is the Hump Oscillator, which creates distinctive wave patterns ("humps") above and below the zero line. These colorful columns provide instant visual feedback on momentum direction and strength:
• Fast oscillator (thin columns) - Responsive to immediate price action
• Slow oscillator (wide columns) - Confirms underlying trend momentum
• Color-coded bars shift from bright (strong momentum) to dark (weakening momentum)
• Fully customizable MA types (EMA/SMA) and lengths
SQUEEZE DETECTION
Integrated Bollinger Band and Keltner Channel analysis identifies volatility compression:
• Yellow zero-line dots signal active squeeze conditions
• Optional yellow background highlights compression zones
• Anticipates explosive breakout moves
• Adjustable BB and KC parameters for different markets and timeframes
AGAIG TURN DETECTION
Intelligent price reversal identification based on the "As Good As It Gets" methodology:
• Automatically identifies significant market turning points
• Adjustable sensitivity via "Turn Detection Length" (lower = more signals, higher = fewer signals)
• Strength filter ensures only quality setups are marked (1-10 scale)
• Eliminates noise and false signals common in traditional pivot indicators
VISUAL SIGNALS
• BUY arrows (green triangles) mark bullish reversal opportunities
• SELL arrows (red triangles) mark bearish reversal opportunities
• Text labels positioned for optimal readability
• All arrows appear at actual turning points with configurable lookback offset
FLEXIBLE CUSTOMIZATION

ENTRY SIGNALS
Look for BUY/SELL arrows combined with:
1. Squeeze conditions (yellow markers) for highest-probability setups
2. Oscillator color confirmation (green for longs, red for shorts)
3. Turn strength that meets your minimum requirements
TREND CONFIRMATION
• Strong green humps = bullish momentum building
• Strong red humps = bearish momentum building
• Oscillator crossing zero = momentum shift
• Color transitions = momentum strengthening or weakening
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
• Yellow zero-line dots = consolidation/squeeze active
• Expansion after squeeze = high-probability breakout opportunity
• Combine with turn arrows for precise entry timing
PARAMETER TUNING
For scalping/day trading (5m-15m charts):
• Turn Detection Length: 3-5
• Turn Strength: 2-4
For swing trading (1H-4H charts):
• Turn Detection Length: 5-8

[CT] Highest/Lowest Close Midline Candle ColorThis indicator looks back a user defined number of bars, the default is 14, and finds the highest closing price and the lowest closing price in that lookback window. Those two values form a rolling closing range. The script then calculates a midpoint of that range by averaging the highest close and the lowest close. That midpoint is plotted as “o”, and it acts like a simple, adaptive balance line for where the market is trading within its recent closing range.
On every bar, the candle color is driven by where the current close finishes relative to that midpoint. When price closes above the midpoint, the script colors the candle green, which tells you that the close is occurring in the upper half of the most recent closing range. When price closes below the midpoint, the candle is colored red, which tells you the close is occurring in the lower half of the most recent closing range. If the close lands exactly on the midpoint, the script leaves the bar uncolored, which is a quick way to spot “neutral” closes that are sitting right at the balance point.
On the chart you will see three plots. The “hi” line is the highest close over the lookback period, so it behaves like a dynamic ceiling for closes. The “lo” line is the lowest close over the lookback period, so it behaves like a dynamic floor for closes. The “o” line is the midpoint between those two, and it will move up when the rolling highest and lowest closes lift, and it will move down when they fall. Because all three are based on closing prices instead of highs and lows, they reflect where the market is actually accepting value at the end of each bar rather than momentary wicks.
In practical use, the midpoint line is your decision line and the candle colors are your bias filter. A sequence of green candles means closes are consistently happening above the midpoint, which implies bullish control of the recent closing range and can be used as a confirmation to favor long setups, trend continuation trades, or pullbacks that hold above the midpoint. A sequence of red candles means closes are consistently happening below the midpoint, which implies bearish control of the recent closing range and can be used to favor short setups or bearish continuation until price can reclaim the midpoint. When candles flip color around the midpoint repeatedly, that is a visual cue that the market is rotating and the midpoint is acting like a balance area rather than support or resistance, which often aligns with consolidation or choppier conditions.
The “hi” and “lo” lines can be treated as context levels. If price is closing above the midpoint and pressing toward the “hi” line, you are seeing strength within the closing range and the prior highest close becomes the next level where continuation may stall or break. If price is closing below the midpoint and pressing toward the “lo” line, you are seeing weakness within the closing range and the prior lowest close becomes the next level where continuation may pause or accelerate through. Breaks beyond the “hi” or “lo” line indicate that the rolling closing range is expanding, which can coincide with trend continuation or a breakout from a prior range.
This tool is simple by design and is best used as a directional filter and a structure guide rather than a standalone entry system. It does not repaint past bars because it only uses completed historical closes within the selected lookback window, and it updates normally as each new bar closes. You can increase the period to smooth it for higher time frames or more stable trends, and decrease it to make it more sensitive for faster markets or scalping, with the tradeoff that shorter periods will flip colors more often in chop.

Apex Adaptive Trend Navigator [Pineify]Apex Adaptive Trend Navigator
The Apex Adaptive Trend Navigator is a comprehensive trend-following indicator that combines adaptive moving average technology, dynamic volatility bands, and market structure analysis into a single, cohesive trading tool. Designed for traders who want to identify trend direction with precision while filtering out market noise, this indicator adapts its sensitivity based on real-time market efficiency calculations.
Key Features
Adaptive Moving Average with efficiency-based smoothing factor
Dynamic ATR-based volatility bands that expand and contract with market conditions
Market Structure detection including BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character)
Real-time performance dashboard displaying trend status and efficiency metrics
Color-coded cloud visualization for intuitive trend identification
How It Works
The core of this indicator is built on an Adaptive Moving Average that uses a unique efficiency-based calculation method inspired by the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) and TRAMA concepts. The efficiency ratio measures the directional movement of price relative to total price movement over the lookback period:
Efficiency = |Price Change over N periods| / Sum of |Individual Bar Changes|
This ratio ranges from 0 to 1, where values closer to 1 indicate a strong trending market with minimal noise, and values closer to 0 indicate choppy, sideways conditions. The smoothing factor is then squared to penalize noisy markets more aggressively, causing the adaptive line to flatten during consolidation and respond quickly during strong trends.
The Dynamic Volatility Bands are calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor. These bands create a channel around the adaptive moving average, helping traders visualize the current volatility regime and potential support/resistance zones.
Trading Ideas and Insights
When price stays above the adaptive line with the bullish cloud forming, consider this a confirmation of uptrend strength
The efficiency percentage in the dashboard indicates trend quality - higher values suggest more reliable trends
Watch for price interactions with the upper and lower bands as potential reversal or continuation zones
A flat adaptive line indicates consolidation - wait for a clear directional break before entering trades
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
This indicator integrates three complementary analytical approaches:
The Adaptive Moving Average serves as the trend backbone, providing a dynamic centerline that automatically adjusts to market conditions. Unlike fixed-period moving averages, it reduces lag during trends while minimizing whipsaws during ranging markets.
The ATR Volatility Bands work in conjunction with the adaptive MA to create a volatility envelope. When the adaptive line is trending and price remains within the cloud (between the MA and outer band), this confirms trend strength. Price breaking through the opposite band may signal exhaustion or reversal.
The Market Structure Analysis using swing point detection adds a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) layer. BOS signals indicate trend continuation when price breaks previous swing highs in uptrends or swing lows in downtrends. CHoCH signals warn of potential reversals when the structure shifts against the prevailing trend.
Unique Aspects
The squared efficiency factor creates a non-linear response that dramatically reduces noise sensitivity
Cloud fills only appear on the trend side, providing clear visual distinction between bullish and bearish regimes
The integrated dashboard eliminates the need to switch between multiple indicators for trend assessment
Pivot-based swing detection ensures accurate market structure identification
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the Lookback Period based on your trading timeframe (shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading)
Monitor the cloud color - green clouds indicate bullish conditions, red clouds indicate bearish conditions
Use the efficiency reading in the dashboard to gauge trend reliability before entering positions
Consider entries when price pulls back to the adaptive line during strong trends (high efficiency)
Use the volatility bands as dynamic take-profit or stop-loss reference levels
Customization
Lookback Period : Controls the sensitivity of trend detection and swing point identification (default: 20)

**Fair Value Gap Recognition**
Gaps between candles are identified when:
- Price leaves inefficiencies in the market
- Three consecutive candles create a gap pattern
- Gap size exceeds minimum threshold based on ATR
**Confluence Calculation**
The system evaluates multiple technical factors:
1. **Price Position**: Relative to moving averages (EMA 20, 50, 200)
2. **Volume Analysis**: Standard deviation-based volume spikes
3. **Momentum**: RSI, MACD, Stochastic indicators
4. **Trend Strength**: ADX measurements
5. **Money Flow**: MFI indicator readings
Each factor contributes weighted points to create an overall confluence score that helps assess signal strength.
### Signal Types

Adaptive Market Wave TheoryAdaptive Market Wave Theory
🌊 CORE INNOVATION: PROBABILISTIC PHASE DETECTION WITH MULTI-AGENT CONSENSUS
Adaptive Market Wave Theory (AMWT) represents a fundamental paradigm shift in how traders approach market phase identification. Rather than counting waves subjectively or drawing static breakout levels, AMWT treats the market as a hidden state machine —using Hidden Markov Models, multi-agent consensus systems, and reinforcement learning algorithms to quantify what traditional methods leave to interpretation.
The Wave Analysis Problem:
Traditional wave counting methodologies (Elliott Wave, harmonic patterns, ABC corrections) share fatal weaknesses that AMWT directly addresses:
1. Non-Falsifiability : Invalid wave counts can always be "recounted" or "adjusted." If your Wave 3 fails, it becomes "Wave 3 of a larger degree" or "actually Wave C." There's no objective failure condition.
2. Observer Bias : Two expert wave analysts examining the same chart routinely reach different conclusions. This isn't a feature—it's a fundamental methodology flaw.
3. No Confidence Measure : Traditional analysis says "This IS Wave 3." But with what probability? 51%? 95%? The binary nature prevents proper position sizing and risk management.
4. Static Rules : Fixed Fibonacci ratios and wave guidelines cannot adapt to changing market regimes. What worked in 2019 may fail in 2024.
5. No Accountability : Wave methodologies rarely track their own performance. There's no feedback loop to improve.
The AMWT Solution:
AMWT addresses each limitation through rigorous mathematical frameworks borrowed from speech recognition, machine learning, and reinforcement learning:
• Non-Falsifiability → Hard Invalidation : Wave hypotheses die permanently when price violates calculated invalidation levels. No recounting allowed.
• Observer Bias → Multi-Agent Consensus : Three independent analytical agents must agree. Single-methodology bias is eliminated.
• No Confidence → Probabilistic States : Every market state has a calculated probability from Hidden Markov Model inference. "72% probability of impulse state" replaces "This is Wave 3."
• Static Rules → Adaptive Learning : Thompson Sampling multi-armed bandits learn which agents perform best in current conditions. The system adapts in real-time.
• No Accountability → Performance Tracking : Comprehensive statistics track every signal's outcome. The system knows its own performance.
The Core Insight:
"Traditional wave analysis asks 'What count is this?' AMWT asks 'What is the probability we are in an impulsive state, with what confidence, confirmed by how many independent methodologies, and anchored to what liquidity event?'"
🔬 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION: HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS
Why Hidden Markov Models?
Markets exist in hidden states that we cannot directly observe—only their effects on price are visible. When the market is in an "impulse up" state, we see rising prices, expanding volume, and trending indicators. But we don't observe the state itself—we infer it from observables.
This is precisely the problem Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) solve. Originally developed for speech recognition (inferring words from sound waves), HMMs excel at estimating hidden states from noisy observations.
HMM Components:
1. Hidden States (S) : The unobservable market conditions
2. Observations (O) : What we can measure (price, volume, indicators)
3. Transition Matrix (A) : Probability of moving between states
4. Emission Matrix (B) : Probability of observations given each state
5. Initial Distribution (π) : Starting state probabilities
AMWT's Six Market States:
State 0: IMPULSE_UP
• Definition: Strong bullish momentum with high participation
• Observable Signatures: Rising prices, expanding volume, RSI >60, price above upper Bollinger Band, MACD histogram positive and rising
• Typical Duration: 5-20 bars depending on timeframe
• What It Means: Institutional buying pressure, trend acceleration phase
State 1: IMPULSE_DN
• Definition: Strong bearish momentum with high participation
• Observable Signatures: Falling prices, expanding volume, RSI <40, price below lower Bollinger Band, MACD histogram negative and falling
• Typical Duration: 5-20 bars (often shorter than bullish impulses—markets fall faster)
• What It Means: Institutional selling pressure, panic or distribution acceleration
State 2: CORRECTION
• Definition: Counter-trend consolidation with declining momentum
• Observable Signatures: Sideways or mild counter-trend movement, contracting volume, RSI returning toward 50, Bollinger Bands narrowing
• Typical Duration: 8-30 bars
• What It Means: Profit-taking, digestion of prior move, potential accumulation for next leg
State 3: ACCUMULATION
• Definition: Base-building near lows where informed participants absorb supply
• Observable Signatures: Price near recent lows but not making new lows, volume spikes on up bars, RSI showing positive divergence, tight range
• Typical Duration: 15-50 bars
• What It Means: Smart money buying from weak hands, preparing for markup phase
State 4: DISTRIBUTION
• Definition: Top-forming near highs where informed participants distribute holdings
• Observable Signatures: Price near recent highs but struggling to advance, volume spikes on down bars, RSI showing negative divergence, widening range
• Typical Duration: 15-50 bars
• What It Means: Smart money selling to late buyers, preparing for markdown phase
State 5: TRANSITION
• Definition: Regime change period with mixed signals and elevated uncertainty
• Observable Signatures: Conflicting indicators, whipsaw price action, no clear momentum, high volatility without direction
• Typical Duration: 5-15 bars
• What It Means: Market deciding next direction, dangerous for directional trades
The Transition Matrix:
The transition matrix A captures the probability of moving from one state to another. AMWT initializes with empirically-derived values then updates online:
From/To IMP_UP IMP_DN CORR ACCUM DIST TRANS
IMP_UP 0.70 0.02 0.20 0.02 0.04 0.02
IMP_DN 0.02 0.70 0.20 0.04 0.02 0.02
CORR 0.15 0.15 0.50 0.10 0.10 0.00
ACCUM 0.30 0.05 0.15 0.40 0.05 0.05
DIST 0.05 0.30 0.15 0.05 0.40 0.05
TRANS 0.20 0.20 0.20 0.15 0.15 0.10
Key Insights from Transition Probabilities:
• Impulse states are sticky (70% self-transition): Once trending, markets tend to continue
• Corrections can transition to either impulse direction (15% each): The next move after correction is uncertain
• Accumulation strongly favors IMP_UP transition (30%): Base-building leads to rallies
• Distribution strongly favors IMP_DN transition (30%): Topping leads to declines
The Viterbi Algorithm:
Given a sequence of observations, how do we find the most likely state sequence? This is the Viterbi algorithm—dynamic programming to find the optimal path through the state space.
Mathematical Formulation:
δ_t(j) = max_i × B_j(O_t)
Where:
δ_t(j) = probability of most likely path ending in state j at time t
A_ij = transition probability from state i to state j
B_j(O_t) = emission probability of observation O_t given state j
AMWT Implementation:
AMWT runs Viterbi over a rolling window (default 50 bars), computing the most likely state sequence and extracting:
• Current state estimate
• State confidence (probability of current state vs alternatives)
• State sequence for pattern detection
Online Learning (Baum-Welch Adaptation):
Unlike static HMMs, AMWT continuously updates its transition and emission matrices based on observed market behavior:
f_onlineUpdateHMM(prev_state, curr_state, observation, decay) =>
// Update transition matrix
A *= decay
A += (1.0 - decay)
// Renormalize row
// Update emission matrix
B *= decay
B += (1.0 - decay)
// Renormalize row
The decay parameter (default 0.85) controls adaptation speed:
• Higher decay (0.95): Slower adaptation, more stable, better for consistent markets
• Lower decay (0.80): Faster adaptation, more reactive, better for regime changes
Why This Matters for Trading:
Traditional indicators give you a number (RSI = 72). AMWT gives you a probabilistic state assessment :
"There is a 78% probability we are in IMPULSE_UP state, with 15% probability of CORRECTION and 7% distributed among other states. The transition matrix suggests 70% chance of remaining in IMPULSE_UP next bar, 20% chance of transitioning to CORRECTION."
This enables:
• Position sizing by confidence : 90% confidence = full size; 60% confidence = half size
• Risk management by transition probability : High correction probability = tighten stops
• Strategy selection by state : IMPULSE = trend-follow; CORRECTION = wait; ACCUMULATION = scale in
🎰 THE 3-BANDIT CONSENSUS SYSTEM
The Multi-Agent Philosophy:
No single analytical methodology works in all market conditions. Trend-following excels in trending markets but gets chopped in ranges. Mean-reversion excels in ranges but gets crushed in trends. Structure-based analysis works when structure is clear but fails in chaotic markets.
AMWT's solution: employ three independent agents , each analyzing the market from a different perspective, then use Thompson Sampling to learn which agents perform best in current conditions.
Agent 1: TREND AGENT
Philosophy : Markets trend. Follow the trend until it ends.
Analytical Components:
• EMA Alignment: EMA8 > EMA21 > EMA50 (bullish) or inverse (bearish)
• MACD Histogram: Direction and rate of change
• Price Momentum: Close relative to ATR-normalized movement
• VWAP Position: Price above/below volume-weighted average price
Signal Generation:
Strong Bull: EMA aligned bull AND MACD histogram > 0 AND momentum > 0.3 AND close > VWAP
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.75 + |momentum| × 0.4
Moderate Bull: EMA stack bull AND MACD rising AND momentum > 0.1
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.65 + |momentum| × 0.3
Strong Bear: EMA aligned bear AND MACD histogram < 0 AND momentum < -0.3 AND close < VWAP
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.75 + |momentum| × 0.4
Moderate Bear: EMA stack bear AND MACD falling AND momentum < -0.1
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.65 + |momentum| × 0.3
When Trend Agent Excels:
• Trend days (IB extension >1.5x)
• Post-breakout continuation
• Institutional accumulation/distribution phases
When Trend Agent Fails:
• Range-bound markets (ADX <20)
• Chop zones after volatility spikes
• Reversal days at major levels
Agent 2: REVERSION AGENT
Philosophy: Markets revert to mean. Extreme readings reverse.
Analytical Components:
• Bollinger Band Position: Distance from bands, percent B
• RSI Extremes: Overbought (>70) and oversold (<30)
• Stochastic: %K/%D crossovers at extremes
• Band Squeeze: Bollinger Band width contraction
Signal Generation:
Oversold Bounce: BB %B < 0.20 AND RSI < 35 AND Stochastic < 25
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.70 + (30 - RSI) × 0.01
Overbought Fade: BB %B > 0.80 AND RSI > 65 AND Stochastic > 75
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.70 + (RSI - 70) × 0.01
Squeeze Fire Bull: Band squeeze ending AND close > upper band
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.65
Squeeze Fire Bear: Band squeeze ending AND close < lower band
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.65
When Reversion Agent Excels:
• Rotation days (price stays within IB)
• Range-bound consolidation
• After extended moves without pullback
When Reversion Agent Fails:
• Strong trend days (RSI can stay overbought for days)
• Breakout moves
• News-driven directional moves
Agent 3: STRUCTURE AGENT
Philosophy: Market structure reveals institutional intent. Follow the smart money.
Analytical Components:
• Break of Structure (BOS): Price breaks prior swing high/low
• Change of Character (CHOCH): First break against prevailing trend
• Higher Highs/Higher Lows: Bullish structure
• Lower Highs/Lower Lows: Bearish structure
• Liquidity Sweeps: Stop runs that reverse
Signal Generation:
BOS Bull: Price breaks above prior swing high with momentum
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.70 + structure_strength × 0.2
CHOCH Bull: First higher low after downtrend, breaking structure
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.75
BOS Bear: Price breaks below prior swing low with momentum
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.70 + structure_strength × 0.2
CHOCH Bear: First lower high after uptrend, breaking structure
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.75
Liquidity Sweep Long: Price sweeps below swing low then reverses strongly
→ Signal: +1 (Long), Confidence: 0.80
Liquidity Sweep Short: Price sweeps above swing high then reverses strongly
→ Signal: -1 (Short), Confidence: 0.80
When Structure Agent Excels:
• After liquidity grabs (stop runs)
• At major swing points
• During institutional accumulation/distribution
When Structure Agent Fails:
• Choppy, structureless markets
• During news events (structure becomes noise)
• Very low timeframes (noise overwhelms structure)
Thompson Sampling: The Bandit Algorithm
With three agents giving potentially different signals, how do we decide which to trust? This is the multi-armed bandit problem —balancing exploitation (using what works) with exploration (testing alternatives).
Thompson Sampling Solution:
Each agent maintains a Beta distribution representing its success/failure history:
Agent success rate modeled as Beta(α, β)
Where:
α = number of successful signals + 1
β = number of failed signals + 1
On Each Bar:
1. Sample from each agent's Beta distribution
2. Weight agent signals by sampled probabilities
3. Combine weighted signals into consensus
4. Update α/β based on trade outcomes
Mathematical Implementation:
// Beta sampling via Gamma ratio method
f_beta_sample(alpha, beta) =>
g1 = f_gamma_sample(alpha)
g2 = f_gamma_sample(beta)
g1 / (g1 + g2)
// Thompson Sampling selection
for each agent:
sampled_prob = f_beta_sample(agent.alpha, agent.beta)
weight = sampled_prob / sum(all_sampled_probs)
consensus += agent.signal × agent.confidence × weight
Why Thompson Sampling?
• Automatic Exploration : Agents with few samples get occasional chances (high variance in Beta distribution)
• Bayesian Optimal : Mathematically proven optimal solution to exploration-exploitation tradeoff
• Uncertainty-Aware : Small sample size = more exploration; large sample size = more exploitation
• Self-Correcting : Poor performers naturally get lower weights over time
Example Evolution:
Day 1 (Initial):
Trend Agent: Beta(1,1) → samples ~0.50 (high uncertainty)
Reversion Agent: Beta(1,1) → samples ~0.50 (high uncertainty)
Structure Agent: Beta(1,1) → samples ~0.50 (high uncertainty)
After 50 Signals:
Trend Agent: Beta(28,23) → samples ~0.55 (moderate confidence)
Reversion Agent: Beta(18,33) → samples ~0.35 (underperforming)
Structure Agent: Beta(32,19) → samples ~0.63 (outperforming)
Result: Structure Agent now receives highest weight in consensus
Consensus Requirements by Mode:
Aggressive Mode:
• Minimum 1/3 agents agreeing
• Consensus threshold: 45%
• Use case: More signals, higher risk tolerance
Balanced Mode:
• Minimum 2/3 agents agreeing
• Consensus threshold: 55%
• Use case: Standard trading
Conservative Mode:
• Minimum 2/3 agents agreeing
• Consensus threshold: 65%
• Use case: Higher quality, fewer signals
Institutional Mode:
• Minimum 2/3 agents agreeing
• Consensus threshold: 75%
• Additional: Session quality >0.65, mode adjustment +0.10
• Use case: Highest quality signals only
🌀 INTELLIGENT CHOP DETECTION ENGINE
The Chop Problem:
Most trading losses occur not from being wrong about direction, but from trading in conditions where direction doesn't exist . Choppy, range-bound markets generate false signals from every methodology—trend-following, mean-reversion, and structure-based alike.
AMWT's chop detection engine identifies these low-probability environments before signals fire, preventing the most damaging trades.
Five-Factor Chop Analysis:
Factor 1: ADX Component (25% weight)
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength regardless of direction.
ADX < 15: Very weak trend (high chop score)
ADX 15-20: Weak trend (moderate chop score)
ADX 20-25: Developing trend (low chop score)
ADX > 25: Strong trend (minimal chop score)
adx_chop = (i_adxThreshold - adx_val) / i_adxThreshold × 100
Why ADX Works: ADX synthesizes +DI and -DI movements. Low ADX means price is moving but not directionally—the definition of chop.
Factor 2: Choppiness Index (25% weight)
The Choppiness Index measures price efficiency using the ratio of ATR sum to price range:
CI = 100 × LOG10(SUM(ATR, n) / (Highest - Lowest)) / LOG10(n)
CI > 61.8: Choppy (range-bound, inefficient movement)
CI < 38.2: Trending (directional, efficient movement)
CI 38.2-61.8: Transitional
chop_idx_score = (ci_val - 38.2) / (61.8 - 38.2) × 100
Why Choppiness Index Works: In trending markets, price covers distance efficiently (low ATR sum relative to range). In choppy markets, price oscillates wildly but goes nowhere (high ATR sum relative to range).
Factor 3: Range Compression (20% weight)
Compares recent range to longer-term range, detecting volatility squeezes:
recent_range = Highest(20) - Lowest(20)
longer_range = Highest(50) - Lowest(50)
compression = 1 - (recent_range / longer_range)
compression > 0.5: Strong squeeze (potential breakout imminent)
compression < 0.2: No compression (normal volatility)
range_compression_score = compression × 100
Why Range Compression Matters: Compression precedes expansion. High compression = market coiling, preparing for move. Signals during compression often fail because the breakout hasn't occurred yet.
Factor 4: Channel Position (15% weight)
Tracks price position within the macro channel:
channel_position = (close - channel_low) / (channel_high - channel_low)
position 0.4-0.6: Center of channel (indecision zone)
position <0.2 or >0.8: Near extremes (potential reversal or breakout)
channel_chop = abs(0.5 - channel_position) < 0.15 ? high_score : low_score
Why Channel Position Matters: Price in the middle of a range is in "no man's land"—equally likely to go either direction. Signals in the channel center have lower probability.
Factor 5: Volume Quality (15% weight)
Assesses volume relative to average:
vol_ratio = volume / SMA(volume, 20)
vol_ratio < 0.7: Low volume (lack of conviction)
vol_ratio 0.7-1.3: Normal volume
vol_ratio > 1.3: High volume (conviction present)
volume_chop = vol_ratio < 0.8 ? (1 - vol_ratio) × 100 : 0
Why Volume Quality Matters: Low volume moves lack institutional participation. These moves are more likely to reverse or stall.
Combined Chop Intensity:
chopIntensity = (adx_chop × 0.25) + (chop_idx_score × 0.25) +
(range_compression_score × 0.20) + (channel_chop × 0.15) +
(volume_chop × i_volumeChopWeight × 0.15)
Regime Classifications:
Based on chop intensity and component analysis:
• Strong Trend (0-20%): ADX >30, clear directional momentum, trade aggressively
• Trending (20-35%): ADX >20, moderate directional bias, trade normally
• Transitioning (35-50%): Mixed signals, regime change possible, reduce size
• Mid-Range (50-60%): Price trapped in channel center, avoid new positions
• Ranging (60-70%): Low ADX, price oscillating within bounds, fade extremes only
• Compression (70-80%): Volatility squeeze, expansion imminent, wait for breakout
• Strong Chop (80-100%): Multiple chop factors aligned, avoid trading entirely
Signal Suppression:
When chop intensity exceeds the configurable threshold (default 80%), signals are suppressed entirely. The dashboard displays "⚠️ CHOP ZONE" with the current regime classification.
Chop Box Visualization:
When chop is detected, AMWT draws a semi-transparent box on the chart showing the chop zone. This visual reminder helps traders avoid entering positions during unfavorable conditions.
💧 LIQUIDITY ANCHORING SYSTEM
The Liquidity Concept:
Markets move from liquidity pool to liquidity pool. Stop losses cluster at predictable locations—below swing lows (buy stops become sell orders when triggered) and above swing highs (sell stops become buy orders when triggered). Institutions know where these clusters are and often engineer moves to trigger them before reversing.
AMWT identifies and tracks these liquidity events, using them as anchors for signal confidence.
Liquidity Event Types:
Type 1: Volume Spikes
Definition: Volume > SMA(volume, 20) × i_volThreshold (default 2.8x)
Interpretation: Sudden volume surge indicates institutional activity
• Near swing low + reversal: Likely accumulation
• Near swing high + reversal: Likely distribution
• With continuation: Institutional conviction in direction
Type 2: Stop Runs (Liquidity Sweeps)
Definition: Price briefly exceeds swing high/low then reverses within N bars
Detection:
• Price breaks above recent swing high (triggering buy stops)
• Then closes back below that high within 3 bars
• Signal: Bullish stop run complete, reversal likely
Or inverse for bearish:
• Price breaks below recent swing low (triggering sell stops)
• Then closes back above that low within 3 bars
• Signal: Bearish stop run complete, reversal likely
Type 3: Absorption Events
Definition: High volume with small candle body
Detection:
• Volume > 2x average
• Candle body < 30% of candle range
• Interpretation: Large orders being filled without moving price
• Implication: Accumulation (at lows) or distribution (at highs)
Type 4: BSL/SSL Pools (Buy-Side/Sell-Side Liquidity)
BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity):
• Cluster of swing highs within ATR proximity
• Stop losses from shorts sit above these highs
• Breaking BSL triggers short covering (fuel for rally)
SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity):
• Cluster of swing lows within ATR proximity
• Stop losses from longs sit below these lows
• Breaking SSL triggers long liquidation (fuel for decline)
Liquidity Pool Mapping:
AMWT continuously scans for and maps liquidity pools:
// Detect swing highs/lows using pivot function
swing_high = ta.pivothigh(high, 5, 5)
swing_low = ta.pivotlow(low, 5, 5)
// Track recent swing points
if not na(swing_high)
bsl_levels.push(swing_high)
if not na(swing_low)
ssl_levels.push(swing_low)
// Display on chart with labels
Confluence Scoring Integration:
When signals fire near identified liquidity events, confluence scoring increases:
• Signal near volume spike: +10% confidence
• Signal after liquidity sweep: +15% confidence
• Signal at BSL/SSL pool: +10% confidence
• Signal aligned with absorption zone: +10% confidence
Why Liquidity Anchoring Matters:
Signals "in a vacuum" have lower probability than signals anchored to institutional activity. A long signal after a liquidity sweep below swing lows has trapped shorts providing fuel. A long signal in the middle of nowhere has no such catalyst.
📊 SIGNAL GRADING SYSTEM
The Quality Problem:
Not all signals are created equal. A signal with 6/6 factors aligned is fundamentally different from a signal with 3/6 factors aligned. Traditional indicators treat them the same. AMWT grades every signal based on confluence.
Confluence Components (100 points total):
1. Bandit Consensus Strength (25 points)
consensus_str = weighted average of agent confidences
score = consensus_str × 25
Example:
Trend Agent: +1 signal, 0.80 confidence, 0.35 weight
Reversion Agent: 0 signal, 0.50 confidence, 0.25 weight
Structure Agent: +1 signal, 0.75 confidence, 0.40 weight
Weighted consensus = (0.80×0.35 + 0×0.25 + 0.75×0.40) / (0.35 + 0.40) = 0.77
Score = 0.77 × 25 = 19.25 points
2. HMM State Confidence (15 points)
score = hmm_confidence × 15
Example:
HMM reports 82% probability of IMPULSE_UP
Score = 0.82 × 15 = 12.3 points
3. Session Quality (15 points)
Session quality varies by time:
• London/NY Overlap: 1.0 (15 points)
• New York Session: 0.95 (14.25 points)
• London Session: 0.70 (10.5 points)
• Asian Session: 0.40 (6 points)
• Off-Hours: 0.30 (4.5 points)
• Weekend: 0.10 (1.5 points)
4. Energy/Participation (10 points)
energy = (realized_vol / avg_vol) × 0.4 + (range / ATR) × 0.35 + (volume / avg_volume) × 0.25
score = min(energy, 1.0) × 10
5. Volume Confirmation (10 points)
if volume > SMA(volume, 20) × 1.5:
score = 10
else if volume > SMA(volume, 20):
score = 5
else:
score = 0
6. Structure Alignment (10 points)
For long signals:
• Bullish structure (HH + HL): 10 points
• Higher low only: 6 points
• Neutral structure: 3 points
• Bearish structure: 0 points
Inverse for short signals
7. Trend Alignment (10 points)
For long signals:
• Price > EMA21 > EMA50: 10 points
• Price > EMA21: 6 points
• Neutral: 3 points
• Against trend: 0 points
8. Entry Trigger Quality (5 points)
• Strong trigger (multiple confirmations): 5 points
• Moderate trigger (single confirmation): 3 points
• Weak trigger (marginal): 1 point
Grade Scale:
Total Score → Grade
85-100 → A+ (Exceptional—all factors aligned)
70-84 → A (Strong—high probability)
55-69 → B (Acceptable—proceed with caution)
Below 55 → C (Marginal—filtered by default)
Grade-Based Signal Brightness:
Signal arrows on the chart have transparency based on grade:
• A+: Full brightness (alpha = 0)
• A: Slight fade (alpha = 15)
• B: Moderate fade (alpha = 35)
• C: Significant fade (alpha = 55)
This visual hierarchy helps traders instantly identify signal quality.
Minimum Grade Filter:
Configurable filter (default: C) sets the minimum grade for signal display:
• Set to "A" for only highest-quality signals
• Set to "B" for moderate selectivity
• Set to "C" for all signals (maximum quantity)
🕐 SESSION INTELLIGENCE
Why Sessions Matter:
Markets behave differently at different times. The London open is fundamentally different from the Asian lunch hour. AMWT incorporates session-aware logic to optimize signal quality.
Session Definitions:
Asian Session (18:00-03:00 ET)
• Characteristics: Lower volatility, range-bound tendency, fewer institutional participants
• Quality Score: 0.40 (40% of peak quality)
• Strategy Implications: Fade extremes, expect ranges, smaller position sizes
• Best For: Mean-reversion setups, accumulation/distribution identification
London Session (03:00-12:00 ET)
• Characteristics: European institutional activity, volatility pickup, trend initiation
• Quality Score: 0.70 (70% of peak quality)
• Strategy Implications: Watch for trend development, breakouts more reliable
• Best For: Initial trend identification, structure breaks
New York Session (08:00-17:00 ET)
• Characteristics: Highest liquidity, US institutional activity, major moves
• Quality Score: 0.95 (95% of peak quality)
• Strategy Implications: Best environment for directional trades
• Best For: Trend continuation, momentum plays
London/NY Overlap (08:00-12:00 ET)
• Characteristics: Peak liquidity, both European and US participants active
• Quality Score: 1.0 (100%—maximum quality)
• Strategy Implications: Highest probability for successful breakouts and trends
• Best For: All signal types—this is prime time
Off-Hours
• Characteristics: Thin liquidity, erratic price action, gaps possible
• Quality Score: 0.30 (30% of peak quality)
• Strategy Implications: Avoid new positions, wider stops if holding
• Best For: Waiting
Smart Weekend Detection:
AMWT properly handles the Sunday evening futures open:
// Traditional (broken):
isWeekend = dayofweek == saturday OR dayofweek == sunday
// AMWT (correct):
anySessionActive = not na(asianTime) or not na(londonTime) or not na(nyTime)
isWeekend = calendarWeekend AND NOT anySessionActive
This ensures Sunday 6pm ET (when futures open) correctly shows "Asian Session" rather than "Weekend."
Session Transition Boosts:
Certain session transitions create trading opportunities:
• Asian → London transition: +15% confidence boost (volatility expansion likely)
• London → Overlap transition: +20% confidence boost (peak liquidity approaching)
• Overlap → NY-only transition: -10% confidence adjustment (liquidity declining)
• Any → Off-Hours transition: Signal suppression recommended
📈 TRADE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Signal Spam Problem:
Many indicators generate signal after signal, creating confusion and overtrading. AMWT implements a complete trade lifecycle management system that prevents signal spam and tracks performance.
Trade Lock Mechanism:
Once a signal fires, the system enters a "trade lock" state:
Trade Lock Duration: Configurable (default 30 bars)
Early Exit Conditions:
• TP3 hit (full target reached)
• Stop Loss hit (trade failed)
• Lock expiration (time-based exit)
During lock:
• No new signals of same type displayed
• Opposite signals can override (reversal)
• Trade status tracked in dashboard
Target Levels:
Each signal generates three profit targets based on ATR:
TP1 (Conservative Target)
• Default: 1.0 × ATR
• Purpose: Quick partial profit, reduce risk
• Action: Take 30-40% off position, move stop to breakeven
TP2 (Standard Target)
• Default: 2.5 × ATR
• Purpose: Main profit target
• Action: Take 40-50% off position, trail stop
TP3 (Extended Target)
• Default: 5.0 × ATR
• Purpose: Runner target for trend days
• Action: Close remaining position or continue trailing
Stop Loss:
• Default: 1.9 × ATR from entry
• Purpose: Define maximum risk
• Placement: Below recent swing low (longs) or above recent swing high (shorts)
Invalidation Level:
Beyond stop loss, AMWT calculates an "invalidation" level where the wave hypothesis dies:
invalidation = entry - (ATR × INVALIDATION_MULT × 1.5)
If price reaches invalidation, the current market interpretation is wrong—not just the trade.
Visual Trade Management:
During active trades, AMWT displays:
• Entry arrow with grade label (▲A+, ▼B, etc.)
• TP1, TP2, TP3 horizontal lines in green
• Stop Loss line in red
• Invalidation line in orange (dashed)
• Progress indicator in dashboard
Persistent Execution Markers:
When targets or stops are hit, permanent markers appear:
• TP hit: Green dot with "TP1"/"TP2"/"TP3" label
• SL hit: Red dot with "SL" label
These persist on the chart for review and statistics.
💰 PERFORMANCE TRACKING & STATISTICS
Tracked Metrics:
• Total Trades: Count of all signals that entered trade lock
• Winning Trades: Signals where at least TP1 was reached before SL
• Losing Trades: Signals where SL was hit before any TP
• Win Rate: Winning / Total × 100%
• Total R Profit: Sum of R-multiples from winning trades
• Total R Loss: Sum of R-multiples from losing trades

Currency Conversion System:
AMWT can display P&L in multiple formats:
R-Multiple (Default)
• Shows risk-normalized returns
• "Net P&L: +4.2R | 78 trades" means 4.2 times initial risk gained over 78 trades
• Best for comparing across different position sizes
Currency Conversion (USD/EUR/GBP/JPY/INR)
• Converts R-multiples to currency based on:
- Dollar Risk Per Trade (user input)
- Tick Value (user input)
- Selected currency
Example Configuration:
Dollar Risk Per Trade: $100
Display Currency: USD
If Net R = +4.2R
Display: Net P&L: +$420.00 | 78 trades
Ticks

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: Learning the System (Week 1)
Goal: Understand AMWT concepts and dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• Signal Mode: Balanced
• Display: All features enabled
• Grade Filter: C (see all signals)
Actions:
• Paper trade ONLY—no real money
• Observe HMM state transitions throughout the day
• Note when agents agree vs disagree
• Watch chop detection engage and disengage
• Track which grades produce winners vs losers
Key Learning Questions:
• How often do A+ signals win vs B signals? (Should see clear difference)
• Which agent tends to be right in current market? (Check dashboard)
• When does chop detection save you from bad trades?
• How do signals near liquidity events perform vs signals in vacuum?
Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2)
Goal: Tune system to your instrument and timeframe
Signal Mode Testing:
• Run 5 days on Aggressive mode (more signals)
• Run 5 days on Conservative mode (fewer signals)
• Compare: Which produces better risk-adjusted returns?
Grade Filter Testing:
• Track A+ only for 20 signals
• Track A and above for 20 signals
• Track B and above for 20 signals
• Compare win rates and expectancy
Chop Threshold Testing:
• Default (80%): Standard filtering
• Try 70%: More aggressive filtering
• Try 90%: Less filtering
• Which produces best results for your instrument?
Phase 3: Strategy Development (Weeks 3-4)
Goal: Develop personal trading rules based on system signals
Position Sizing by Grade:
• A+ grade: 100% position size
• A grade: 75% position size
• B grade: 50% position size
• C grade: 25% position size (or skip)
Session-Based Rules:
• London/NY Overlap: Take all A/A+ signals
• NY Session: Take all A+ signals, selective on A
• Asian Session: Only A+ signals with extra confirmation
• Off-Hours: No new positions
Chop Zone Rules:
• Chop >70%: Reduce position size 50%
• Chop >80%: No new positions
• Chop <50%: Full position size allowed
Phase 4: Live Micro-Sizing (Month 2)
Goal: Validate paper trading results with minimal risk
Setup:
• 10-20% of intended full position size
• Take ONLY A+ signals initially
• Follow trade management religiously
Tracking:
• Log every trade: Entry, Exit, Grade, HMM State, Chop Level, Agent Consensus
• Calculate: Win rate by grade, by session, by chop level
• Compare to paper trading (should be within 15%)
Red Flags:
• Win rate diverges significantly from paper trading: Execution issues

• Losses cluster when specific agent dominates: Review that agent's logic
Phase 5: Scaling Up (Months 3-6)
Goal: Gradually increase to full position size
Progression:
• Month 3: 25-40% size (if micro-sizing profitable)
• Month 4: 40-60% size
• Month 5: 60-80% size
• Month 6: 80-100% size
Scale-Up Requirements:
• Minimum 30 trades at current size
• Win rate ≥50%
• Net R positive
• No revenge trading incidents
• Emotional control maintained
💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS
Why HMM Over Simple Indicators:
Early versions used standard indicators (RSI >70 = overbought, etc.). Win rates hovered at 52-55%. The problem: indicators don't capture state. RSI can stay "overbought" for weeks in a strong trend.
The insight: markets exist in states, and state persistence matters more than indicator levels. Implementing HMM with state transition probabilities increased signal quality significantly. The system now knows not just "RSI is high" but "we're in IMPULSE_UP state with 70% probability of staying in IMPULSE_UP."
The Multi-Agent Evolution:
Original version used a single analytical methodology—trend-following. Performance was inconsistent: great in trends, destroyed in ranges. Added mean-reversion agent: now it was inconsistent the other way.
The breakthrough: use multiple agents and let the system learn which works . Thompson Sampling wasn't the first attempt—tried simple averaging, voting, even hard-coded regime switching. Thompson Sampling won because it's mathematically optimal and automatically adapts without manual regime detection.
Chop Detection Revelation:
Chop detection was added almost as an afterthought. "Let's filter out obviously bad conditions." Testing revealed it was the most impactful single feature. Filtering chop zones reduced losing trades by 35% while only reducing total signals by 20%. The insight: avoiding bad trades matters more than finding good ones.
Liquidity Anchoring Discovery:
Watched hundreds of trades. Noticed pattern: signals that fired after liquidity events (stop runs, volume spikes) had significantly higher win rates than signals in quiet markets. Implemented liquidity detection and anchoring. Win rate on liquidity-anchored signals: 68% vs 52% on non-anchored signals.
The Grade System Impact:
Early system had binary signals (fire or don't fire). Adding grading transformed it. Traders could finally match position size to signal quality. A+ signals deserved full size; C signals deserved caution. Just implementing grade-based sizing improved portfolio Sharpe ratio by 0.3.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What AMWT Is NOT:
• NOT a Holy Grail : No system wins every trade. AMWT improves probability, not certainty.
• NOT Fully Automated : AMWT provides signals and analysis; execution requires human judgment.
• NOT News-Proof : Exogenous shocks (FOMC surprises, geopolitical events) invalidate all technical analysis.
• NOT for Scalping : HMM state estimation needs time to develop. Sub-minute timeframes are not appropriate.
Core Assumptions:
1. Markets Have States : Assumes markets transition between identifiable regimes. Violation: Random walk markets with no regime structure.
2. States Are Inferable : Assumes observable indicators reveal hidden states. Violation: Market manipulation creating false signals.
3. History Informs Future : Assumes past agent performance predicts future performance. Violation: Regime changes that invalidate historical patterns.
4. Liquidity Events Matter : Assumes institutional activity creates predictable patterns. Violation: Markets with no institutional participation.
Performs Best On:
• Liquid Futures : ES, NQ, MNQ, MES, CL, GC
• Major Forex Pairs : EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY
• Large-Cap Stocks : AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, NVDA (>$5B market cap)
• Liquid Crypto : BTC, ETH on major exchanges
Performs Poorly On:
• Illiquid Instruments : Low volume stocks, exotic pairs
• Very Low Timeframes : Sub-5-minute charts (noise overwhelms signal)
• Binary Event Days : Earnings, FDA approvals, court rulings
• Manipulated Markets : Penny stocks, low-cap altcoins
Known Weaknesses:
• Warmup Period : HMM needs ~50 bars to initialize properly. Early signals may be unreliable.
• Regime Change Lag : Thompson Sampling adapts over time, not instantly. Sudden regime changes may cause short-term underperformance.
• Complexity : More parameters than simple indicators. Requires understanding to use effectively.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, stocks, options, forex, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Adaptive Market Wave Theory, while based on rigorous mathematical frameworks including Hidden Markov Models and multi-armed bandit algorithms, does not guarantee profits and can result in significant losses.
AMWT's methodologies—HMM state estimation, Thompson Sampling agent selection, and confluence-based grading—have theoretical foundations but past performance is not indicative of future results.
Hidden Markov Model assumptions may not hold during:
• Major news events disrupting normal market behavior
• Flash crashes or circuit breaker events
• Low liquidity periods with erratic price action
• Algorithmic manipulation or spoofing
Multi-agent consensus assumes independent analytical perspectives provide edge. Market conditions change. Edges that existed historically can diminish or disappear.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, and broker execution environment. Paper trade extensively before risking capital. Start with micro position sizing.
Never risk more than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing. Implement stop losses without exception.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge these risks and accept full responsibility for all trading decisions and outcomes.

Ping-Pong Fade (BB + Absorption Proxy)Ping-Pong Fade is a mean-reversion fade indicator designed to capture short-term reversals at statistically extreme price levels only when real participation and absorption behavior are present.
This script intentionally mashes up Bollinger Bands, volume expansion, and candle structure to filter out weak band touches and isolate defended extremes.
Why This Mashup Exists
Bollinger Band fades fail most often when:
Price is expanding with conviction
Breakouts are supported by strong directional bodies
There is no opposing liquidity at the extremes
This indicator solves that by requiring three independent confirmations before signaling a fade:
Statistical Extremity (Bollinger Bands)
Participation (Volume Expansion)
Absorption / Rejection (Candle Structure)
Only when all three align does the script trigger a signal.
Component Breakdown & How They Work Together
1. Bollinger Bands – Where price should react
Uses a standard SMA + standard deviation envelope
Defines upper and lower statistical extremes
Provides the location for potential fades, not the signal by itself
Bands answer where, not whether.
2. Volume Spike Filter – Who is involved
Compares current volume to a moving average
Requires volume to exceed a configurable multiple
Ensures the interaction at the band is meaningful, not illiquid noise
No volume = no real defense = no trade.
3. Candle Body % (Absorption Proxy) – How price is behaving
Measures candle body relative to full range
Small bodies at the band imply:
Heavy two-sided trading
Aggression being absorbed
Failure to close through the extreme
This acts as a practical proxy for order-flow absorption without requiring Level II or footprint data.
Big range + small body + high volume = pressure met with resistance.
Signal Logic (The “Ping-Pong” Effect)
🔽 Short Fade
Triggered when:
Price probes above the upper Bollinger Band
Volume spikes above normal
Candle shows a small body and fails to close strong at highs
Interpretation:
Buyers pushed price to an extreme, but were absorbed. Expect rotation back toward the mean.
🔼 Long Fade
Triggered when:
Price probes below the lower Bollinger Band
Volume spikes above normal
Candle shows a small body and fails to close strong at lows
Interpretation:
Sellers forced price down, but were absorbed. Expect a bounce toward the mean.
What This Indicator Is Best Used For
Intraday mean-reversion setups
Range-bound or rotational markets
Scalping and short-term fades near extremes
Confirmation layer alongside VWAP, structure, or HTF bias
What It Is Not
A breakout tool
A trend-following indicator
A standalone system without context
Core Philosophy
Extreme + Volume + Failure = Opportunity
Ping-Pong Fade is designed to show you when price tries to escape its range — and fails — allowing you to fade the move with structure and intent.
MEGA Sector Rotation CRYPTOCAP - 8 Narrativas (Optimized Daily)### MEGA Sector Rotation CRYPTOCAP - 7 Narratives
**Description for publishing on TradingView:**
This advanced indicator lets you visualize in real time the **rotation of narratives** within the crypto market through 7 key sectors, normalized for perfect side-by-side comparison.
Each line represents the **historical relative strength** (min-max normalization over 5000 bars) of a specific narrative, based on TradingView's official aggregated market caps (CRYPTOCAP) and custom sums. The lines oscillate between 0 and 100, with clear crossovers signaling when a sector is gaining or losing momentum relative to the others.
**The 7 narratives included:**
1. **Layer1** (pink) – Aggregated market cap of major Layer 1 blockchains.
2. **Memecoins** (bright green) – Official MEME.C sector (PEPE, SHIB, WIF, BONK, etc.).
3. **AI** (orange) – Artificial Intelligence and Big Data narrative.
4. **Exchanges** (purple) – Exchange tokens (centralized and decentralized).
5. **DeFi Total** (cyan) – Full aggregated market cap of the DeFi ecosystem.
6. **RWA Custom** (brown) – Custom sum of Real World Assets: ONDO + LINK + CFG + SYRUP.
7. **Privacy** (dark orange) – Custom sum of privacy coins: XMR + ZEC + DASH.
**Quick interpretation:**
- Line >80 and rising → Narrative is **HOT** (strong bullish rotation).
- Line <20 → Narrative is **COLD** (losing strength).
- Bullish crossovers → Money rotating into that sector.
- Transparent fills between lines to highlight leadership zones.
**Features:**
- Optimized for **lower timeframes** (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) → ideal for day trading and scalping narratives.
- Works on any TF thanks to 5-minute resolution data.
- Thick lines, vibrant colors, and horizontal references (20/50/80) for instant reading.
Perfect for spotting early which narrative is attracting capital flows and anticipating sector moves in the crypto market.
Add this indicator and trade rotations like a pro!
