Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions

Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR BandsThe Rolling Midpoint of Price & VWAP with ATR Bands indicator is a dual-equilibrium concept that fuses price-range structure and traded-volume flow into one continuously updating hybrid model. Traditional VWAPs reset each session and reflect where trading occurred by volume, while midpoints used here reveal where price has structurally balanced between extremes. This script merges both ideas into a cohesive, dynamic system. The Rolling Price Midpoint (50 % of range) represents the structural fair-value line, calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected window. The Rolling VWAP (Volume-Weighted Window) tracks the flow-based fair-value line by weighting each bar’s typical price by its volume. Together, these components form the Hybrid Equilibrium — the adaptive center of gravity that shifts as price and volume evolve. Surrounding this equilibrium, ATR Bands at ± 2.226 ATR and ± 5.382 ATR define volatility envelopes that expand and contract with market energy. The result is a living cloud that breathes with the market: compressing during phases of balance and widening during impulsive movements, offering traders a clear visual framework for understanding equilibrium, volatility, and directional bias in real time.
➖
⚙️ Auto-Preset System
The Auto-Preset System intelligently adjusts lookback windows for both the Price Midpoint and VWAP calculations according to the active chart timeframe.
This ensures that the indicator automatically adapts to any trading style — from scalping on 1-minute charts to swing trading on daily or weekly charts — without manual tuning.
🔹 How It Works
When Auto-Preset mode is enabled, the script dynamically selects the most effective lookback lengths for each timeframe.
These presets are optimized to balance responsiveness and stability, maintaining consistent real-world coverage (e.g., the same approximate duration of price data) across all intervals.
📊 Preset Mapping Table
| Chart Timeframe | Price Midpoint Lookback | VWAP Lookback |
|:----------------:|:-----------------------:|:--------------:|
| 1–3m | 13 bars | 21 bars
| 5–10m | 21 bars | 34 bars
| 15–30m | 34 bars | 55 bars
| 1–2 hr | 55 bars | 89 bars
| 4 hr-1D | 89 bars | 144 bars
| 1W | 144 bars | 233 bars
| 1M | 233 bars | 377 bars
⚡ Notes & Customization
- Manual Override: Turn off Auto-Preset Mode to specify your own custom lookback lengths.
- Consistency Across Scales: These adaptive values keep the indicator visually coherent when switching between timeframes — avoiding distortions that can occur with static lengths.
- Practical Benefit: Traders can maintain a single chart layout that self-tunes seamlessly, removing the need to manually recalibrate settings when shifting from short-term to long-term analysis.
In short, the Auto-Preset System is designed to make this hybrid equilibrium tool timeframe-aware — automatically scaling its logic so that the cloud behaves consistently, regardless of chart resolution.

🌐 Hybrid Equilibrium Envelope
The core hybrid midpoint acts as the mean of structural (price) and volumetric (VWAP) balance.
ATR-based bands project natural expansion zones:
🔸+2.226 / –2.226 ATR → inner equilibrium (controlled trend)
*🔸+5.382 / –5.382 ATR → outer volatility extension (over-stretch / reversion zones)
Color-coded fills show regime strength:
* 🟧 Upper Outer (+5.382) – strong bullish expansion
* 🟩 Upper Inner (+2.226) – trending equilibrium
* 🔴 Lower Inner (–2.226) – mild bearish control
* 🟣 Lower Outer (–5.382) – volatility exhaustion
➖
🧭 Higher-Timeframe Framework
Two macro anchors — Price length of 144 and VWAP length of 233 — outline higher-timeframe bias zones. These help confirm when local momentum aligns with (or fades against) long-term structure.
Labels on the right show active lookback values for quick readout:
`$(13) V(21)` → current rolling pair
`$144 / V233` → macro anchors
➖
🧩 Chart Examples

🔧 How it works
Up to six moving averages can be plotted, each with its own:
Type (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA)
Length, color, and width
Custom source input
The script also adds adaptive color fills between key pairs:
MA1–MA2: short-term momentum
MA4–MA5: mid-term bias
MA5–MA6: long-term trend
Bullish alignment paints green or blue ribbons, while bearish alignment turns them red or pink. The wider the ribbon, the stronger the trend separation.
💡 Why it’s better
Unlike typical ribbon indicators, this version offers full per-line customization, adaptive color fills, and a clean, high-contrast design that makes trend shifts instantly recognizable . It’s optimized for clarity, flexibility, and smooth performance on any market or timeframe.
🎯 Trading ideas
Trend confirmation: Trade only in the direction of the ribbon (green for long, red for short).
Early reversals: Watch for the fastest MAs (MA1–MA2) crossing the mid-term pair (MA4–MA5) as early signals of a trend shift.
Momentum compression: When the ribbon narrows or colors alternate rapidly, it signals consolidation or potential breakout zones.
Pullback entries: Enter trades when price bounces off the outer ribbon layer in the direction of the dominant trend.
Multi-timeframe use: Combine with a higher timeframe ribbon to confirm overall market bias.
📊 Recommended use
Works on all markets and timeframes. Ideal for trend-following, swing trading, and visual confirmation of price structure.
TTM Squeeze Range Lines (with Forward Extension) By Gautam KumarThis TTM Squeeze Range Lines script helps visualize breakout levels by marking the recent squeeze’s high and low, making it easier to identify potential trade setups. Each signal line is extended for visibility, showing possible entry levels after a squeeze.
Interpreting the LinesLight blue background marks periods when the TTM squeeze is active (tight volatility).
Green line is drawn at the highest price during the squeeze, extended forward—this is commonly used as the breakout level for long entries.
Red line shows the lowest price during the squeeze, indicating the bottom of the range—potential stop loss positioning or an invalidation level.
When the squeeze background disappears, the horizontal lines will have just appeared and extended forward for several bars after the squeeze ends.
If the price breaks above the green line (the squeeze high), it signals a possible momentum breakout, which traders often use as a long entry.
The red line can be used for placing stop losses or monitoring failed breakouts if price falls below this level.
Best Practices
Combine these levels with volume and momentum confirmation for strong entries.
Adjust the extension length (number of bars forward) from the settings menu to fit your preference.
For systematic trading, use these breakout signals alongside chart pattern or histogram confirmation.
This makes it easy to visualize strong entry zones based on the end of squeeze compression, supporting both discretionary and automated swing trading approaches
Fisher Transform Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Fisher Transform Trend Navigator applies a logarithmic transformation to normalize price data into a Gaussian distribution, then combines this with volatility-adaptive thresholds to create a trend detection system. This mathematical approach helps traders identify high-probability trend changes and reversal points while filtering market noise in the ever-changing volatility conditions.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's foundation begins with price normalization, where recent price action is scaled to a bounded range between -1 and +1:
highestHigh = ta.highest(priceSource, fisherPeriod)
lowestLow = ta.lowest(priceSource, fisherPeriod)
value1 = highestHigh != lowestLow ? 2 * (priceSource - lowestLow) / (highestHigh - lowestLow) - 1 : 0
value1 := math.max(-0.999, math.min(0.999, value1))
This normalized value then passes through the Fisher Transform calculation, which applies a logarithmic function to convert the data into a Gaussian normal distribution that naturally amplifies price extremes and turning points:
fisherTransform = 0.5 * math.log((1 + value1) / (1 - value1))
smoothedFisher = ta.ema(fisherTransform, fisherSmoothing)
The smoothed Fisher signal is then integrated with an exponential moving average to create a hybrid trend line that balances statistical precision with price-following behavior:
baseTrend = ta.ema(close, basePeriod)
fisherAdjustment = smoothedFisher * fisherSensitivity * close
fisherTrend = baseTrend + fisherAdjustment
To filter out false signals and adapt to market conditions, the system calculates dynamic threshold bands using volatility measurements:
dynamicRange = ta.atr(volatilityPeriod)
threshold = dynamicRange * volatilityMultiplier
upperThreshold = fisherTrend + threshold
lowerThreshold = fisherTrend - threshold
When price momentum pushes through these thresholds, the trend line locks onto the new level and maintains direction until the opposite threshold is breached:
if upperThreshold < trendLine
trendLine := upperThreshold
if lowerThreshold > trendLine
trendLine := lowerThreshold
🟢 Signal Interpretation
Bullish Candles (Green): indicate normalized price distribution favoring bulls with sustained buying momentum = Long/Buy opportunities
Bearish Candles (Red): indicate normalized price distribution favoring bears with sustained selling pressure = Short/Sell opportunities
Upper Band Zone: Area above middle level indicating statistically elevated trend strength with potential overbought conditions approaching mean reversion zones
Lower Band Zone: Area below middle level indicating statistically depressed trend strength with potential oversold conditions approaching mean reversion zones
Built-in Alert System: Automated notifications trigger when bullish or bearish states change, allowing you to act on significant developments without constantly monitoring the charts
Candle Coloring: Optional feature applies trend colors to price bars for visual consistency and clarity
Configuration Presets: Three parameter sets available - Default (balanced settings), Scalping (faster response with higher sensitivity), and Swing Trading (slower response with enhanced smoothing)
Color Customization: Four color schemes including Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, and Custom options for personalized chart aesthetics
VWAP Multi Sessions + EMA + TEMA + PivotThis indicator combines several technical tools in one, designed for both intraday and swing traders to provide a complete view of market dynamics.
- VWAP Multi Sessions: calculates and plots five independent VWAPs, each based on a specific time range. This allows you to better identify value zones and price evolution during different phases of the trading day.
- Moving Averages (EMA): three strategic EMAs (55, 144, and 233 periods) are included to track the broader trend and highlight potential crossovers.
- TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): two TEMAs (144 and 233 periods) offer a more responsive alternative to EMAs, reducing lag while filtering out some market noise.
- Daily Levels: the previous day’s open, close, high, and low are plotted as key support and resistance references.
- Pivot Point (P): also included is the classic daily pivot from the previous session, calculated as (High + Low + Close) / 3, which acts as a central level around which price often gravitates.
In summary, this indicator combines:
- intraday value references (session VWAPs),
- trend indicators (EMA and TEMA),
- and daily reference points (OHLC and Pivot).
It is particularly suited for intraday, scalping, and swing trading strategies, helping traders anticipate potential reaction zones in the market more effectively.
Market Mode Risk IndicatorMarket Mode Risk Indicator v1.1
This custom indicator helps traders gauge market risk sentiment by monitoring Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossovers on key indices like BIST 100 (for Turkish markets), NASDAQ Composite (tech-focused US), or Dow Jones Industrial Average (industrial US). It dynamically categorizes the market into three actionable modes based on the index's position relative to layered MAs, providing a quick visual snapshot without cluttering your chart.
Risk Modes Explained:
RISK OFF (Red): Index closes below the Long MA (default 50 periods) – signals bearish caution; time to tighten stops or reduce exposure.
RISK TEST (Orange): Index above Medium MA1 (21 periods) and Extra Long MA (55 periods), but below Short MA (10 periods) and above Long MA – a transitional "test" phase; watch for confirmation before entering.
RISK ON (Green): Index above all MAs (Short, Medium, Long, Extra Long) – bullish green light; favorable for longs or momentum plays.
How It Works:
The core logic uses boolean checks on the index's close price against user-defined MA lengths. For example:
It pulls live data from your selected index via request.security.
Computes MAs with ternary operators for EMA (ta.ema) or SMA (ta.sma) based on your choice.
Mode detection relies on AND/OR conditions (e.g., aboveShort and aboveMed1 and aboveLong and aboveExtraLong for RISK ON) to filter noise and focus on meaningful shifts.
No lookahead bias – all calculations are historical and real-time compatible. Defaults (10/21/50/55) are inspired by common Fibonacci-inspired periods for balanced sensitivity.
Alerts fire only on mode transitions (e.g., from RISK OFF to ON) to prevent spam, using alertcondition with dynamic messages including price and ticker.
Customization Options:
Index & MA Settings: Switch EMA/SMA; tweak lengths (min 1 period) for your timeframe (e.g., shorter for intraday).
Display: Position the table (top/bottom, left/right); toggle MA values on/off.
Looks: Background/border/text colors, transparency (0-100%) for theme matching.
Built in Pine Script v5 for efficiency – lightweight, no repaints.
Usage Tips:
Add to any stock chart (e.g., GARAN for BIST analysis).
Select your index in settings; refresh chart if switching MA type.
Use on daily/4H timeframes for swing trading; alerts via email/SMS for hands-free monitoring.
Pro Tip: Combine with volume or RSI for confirmation – RISK ON + rising volume = stronger buy signal.

Z-Score Regression Bands [BOSWaves]Z-Score Regression Bands – Adaptive Trend and Volatility Insight
Overview
The Z-Score Regression Bands is a trend and volatility analysis framework designed to give traders a clear, structured view of price behavior. It combines Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) regression, a statistical method to detect underlying trends, with Z-Score standardization, which measures how far price deviates from its recent average.
Traditional moving average bands, like Bollinger Bands, often lag behind trends or generate false signals in noisy markets. Z-Score Regression Bands addresses these limitations by:
Tracking trends accurately using LSMA regression
Normalizing deviations with Z-Scores to identify statistically significant price extremes
Visualizing multiple bands for normal, strong, and extreme moves
Highlighting trend shifts using diamond markers based on Z-Score crossings
This multi-layered approach allows traders to understand trend strength, detect overextensions, and identify periods of low or high volatility — all from a single, clear chart overlay. It is designed for traders of all levels and can be applied across scalping, day trading, swing trading, and longer-term strategies.
Theoretical Foundation
The Z-Score Regression Bands are grounded in statistical and trend analysis principles. Here’s the idea in plain terms:
Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) – Unlike standard moving averages, LSMA fits a straight line to recent price data using regression. This “best-fit” line shows the underlying trend more precisely and reduces lag, helping traders see trend changes earlier.
Z-Score Standardization – A Z-Score expresses how far the LSMA is from its recent mean in standard deviation units. This shows whether price is unusually high or low, which can indicate potential reversals, pullbacks, or acceleration of a trend.
Multi-Band Structure – The three bands represent: Band #1: Normal range of price fluctuations; Band #2: Significant deviation from the trend; Band #3: Extreme price levels that are statistically rare. The distance between bands dynamically adapts to market volatility, allowing traders to visualize expansions (higher volatility) and contractions (lower volatility).
Trend Signals – When Z-Score crosses zero, diamonds appear on the chart. These markers signal potential trend initiation, continuation, or reversal, offering a simple alert for shifts in market momentum.
How It Works
The indicator calculates and plots several layers of information:
LSMA Regression (Trend Detection)
Computes a line that best fits recent price points.
The LSMA line smooths out minor fluctuations while reflecting the general direction of the market.
Z-Score Calculation (Deviation Measurement)
Standardizes the LSMA relative to its recent average.
Positive Z-Score → LSMA above average, negative → LSMA below average.
Helps identify overbought or oversold conditions relative to the trend.
Multi-Band Construction (Volatility Envelope)
Upper and lower bands are placed at configurable multiples of standard deviation.
Band #1 captures typical price movement, Band #2 signals stronger deviation, Band #3 highlights extreme moves.
Bands expand and contract with volatility, giving an intuitive visual guide to market conditions.
Trend Signals (Diamonds)
Appear when Z-Score crosses zero.
Indicates moments when momentum may shift, helping traders time entries or exits.
Visual Interpretation
Band width = volatility: wide bands indicate strong movement; narrow bands indicate calm periods.
LSMA shows underlying trend direction, while bands show how far price has strayed from that trend.
Interpretation
The Z-Score Regression Bands provide a multi-dimensional view of market behavior:
Trend Analysis – LSMA line slope shows general market direction.
Momentum & Volatility – Z-Score indicates whether the trend is accelerating or losing strength; band width indicates volatility levels.
Price Extremes – Price touching Band #2 or #3 may suggest overextension and potential reversals.
Trend Shifts – Diamonds signal statistically significant changes in momentum.
Cycle Awareness – Standard deviation bands help distinguish normal market fluctuations from extreme events.
By combining these insights, traders can avoid false signals and react to meaningful structural shifts in the market.
Strategy Integration
Trend Following
Enter trades when diamonds indicate momentum aligns with LSMA direction.
Use Band #1 and #2 for stop placement and partial exits.
Breakout Trading
Watch for narrow bands (low volatility) followed by price pushing outside Band #1 or #2.
Confirm with Z-Score movement in the breakout direction.
Mean Reversion/Pullback
If price reaches Band #2 or #3 without continuation, expect a pullback toward LSMA.
Exhaustion & Reversals
Flattening Z-Score near zero while price remains at extreme bands signals trend weakening.
Tighten stops or scale out before a potential reversal.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
High timeframe LSMA confirms the main trend.
Lower timeframe bands provide refined entry and exit points.
Technical Implementation
LSMA Regression : Best-fit line minimizes lag and captures trend slope.
Z-Score Standardization : Normalizes deviation to allow consistent interpretation across markets.
Multi-Band Envelope : Three layers for normal, strong, and extreme deviations.
Trend Signals : Automatic diamonds for Z-Score zero-crossings.
Band Fill Options : Optional shading to visualize volatility expansions and contractions.
Optimal Application
Asset Classes:
Forex : Capture breakouts, overextensions, and trend shifts.
Crypto : High-volatility adaptation with adjustable band multipliers.
Stocks/ETFs : Identify trending sectors, reversals, and pullbacks.
Indices/Futures : Track cycles and structural trends.
Timeframes:
Scalping (1–5 min) : Focus on Band #1 and trend signals for fast entries.
Intraday (15m–1h) : Use Bands #1–2 for continuation and breakout trades.
Swing (4h–Daily) : Bands #2–3 capture trend momentum and exhaustion.
Position (Daily–Weekly) : LSMA trend dominates; Bands #3 highlight regime extremes.
Performance Characteristics
Strong Performance:
Trending markets with moderate-to-high volatility
Assets with steady liquidity and identifiable cycles
Weak Performance:
Flat or highly choppy markets
Very short timeframes (<1 min) dominated by noise
Integration Tips
Combine with support/resistance, volume, or order flow analysis for confirmation.
Use bands for stops, targets, or scaling positions.
Apply multi-timeframe analysis: higher timeframe LSMA confirms main trend, lower timeframe bands refine entries.
Disclaimer
The Z-Score Regression Bands is a trading analysis tool, not a guaranteed profit system. Its effectiveness depends on market conditions, parameter selection, and disciplined risk management. Use it as part of a broader trading strategy, not in isolation.
Trend TraderThe Trend Trader indicator is a trend-following tool based on a triple EMA (Exponential Moving Average) setup designed to help traders identify market direction and potential reversal zones. It plots three customizable EMAs on the chart to highlight bullish and bearish momentum, then generates trade signals when price shows a strong likelihood of continuing in the direction of the prevailing trend.
EMA Alignment: The indicator checks for bullish stacking (fast EMA above medium, medium above slow) and bearish stacking (fast EMA below medium, medium below slow). This alignment defines the prevailing market trend.
Trend Validation: A user-defined lookback period ensures signals are only taken if the market recently displayed a stacked trend, thus filtering false entries during consolidations.
Signal Generation: Buy signals appear when price dips into the zone between the fast and medium EMAs during a bullish trend. Sell signals appear when price rallies into the zone between the fast and medium EMAs during a bearish trend.
Alerts: Built-in alerts notify traders of new trade opportunities without having to constantly watch the chart.
This indicator is suitable for swing trading and intraday strategies across multiple markets, including forex, stocks, indices, and crypto.
Suggested Strategy for Profitability
This tool is best used as part of a structured trend-trading plan. Below is a suggested framework:
Entry Rules
Long (Buy Trade):
Confirm that EMA alignment is bullish (EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3).
Wait for a Buy Signal (triangle up below price).
Ensure the higher timeframe (e.g., 4H if trading 1H) trend is also bullish to filter trades.
Short (Sell Trade):
Confirm EMA alignment is bearish (EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3).
Wait for a Sell Signal (triangle down above price).
Higher timeframe should also be bearish to increase probability.
Stop Loss
For long positions, place the stop loss just below EMA3 or the most recent swing low.
For short positions, place the stop loss just above EMA3 or the most recent swing high.
Take Profit
Conservative: Set TP at 1.5x to 2x the stop loss distance.
Aggressive: Trail stop loss below EMA2 (for longs) or above EMA2 (for shorts) to capture larger trends.
Risk Management
Use no more than 1–2% of account risk per trade.
Trade only when the signal aligns with overall market context (higher timeframe, support/resistance, or volume confirmation).
This indicator is very similar to the indicator "Trend Scalper" by the same developer, the difference is this indicator is used to just find the trade and hold the trade or to find the reversal of a trend instead of triggering alerts every time price enters between EMA1 and EMA2.
Effort vs Result TRFxThe Effort vs Result (EVR) indicator is designed to identify high-probability reversal signals based on volume and price action dynamics. It highlights points where the market “effort” (high volume) does not correspond to an immediate “result” (price continuation), providing actionable trade setups for both bullish and bearish scenarios.
Features:
Detects bullish EVR signals when a previous high-volume sell candle is followed by a strong bullish candle that sweeps the previous low.
Detects bearish EVR signals when a previous high-volume buy candle is followed by a strong bearish candle that sweeps the previous high.
Sticky arrows plot automatically above or below the candle, ensuring the signal moves with the price bar.
Considers inside bars, wick size, and relative volume to filter low-quality setups.
Fully compatible with multiple timeframes.
Inputs:
Volume Multiplier: Sets how much higher the current candle’s volume should be compared to the previous candle to count as high volume.
Min Wick % of Candle: Minimum wick size relative to the candle body to filter insignificant bars.
Max Inside Bars to Ignore: Number of inside bars between the previous candle and the EVR candle to ignore minor consolidations.
Usage:
(Green Arrow): Enter long when a green arrow appears below the candle. Place stop-loss slightly below the previous swing low.
(Red Arrow): Enter short when a red arrow appears above the candle. Place stop-loss slightly above the previous swing high.
Can be combined with support/resistance levels, trendlines, or other technical indicators for higher accuracy.
Benefits:
Simple and clean visual signals with tiny arrows that move with candles.
Helps traders identify high-probability reversal points based on volume and price action.
Ideal for intraday and swing trading strategies.
SuperScript Filtered (Stable)🔎 What This Indicator Does
The indicator is a trend and momentum filter.
It looks at multiple well-known technical tools (T3 moving averages, RSI, TSI, and EMA trend) and assigns a score to the current market condition.
• If most tools are bullish → score goes up.
• If most tools are bearish → score goes down.
• Only when the score is very strong (above +75 or below -75), it prints a Buy or Sell signal.
This helps traders focus only on high-probability setups instead of reacting to every small wiggle in price.
________________________________________
⚙️ How It Works
1. T3 Trend Check
o Compares a fast and slow T3 moving average.
o If the fast T3 is above the slow T3 → bullish signal.
o If it’s below → bearish signal.
2. RSI Check
o Uses the Relative Strength Index.
o If RSI is above 50 → bullish momentum.
o If RSI is below 50 → bearish momentum.
3. TSI Check
o Uses the True Strength Index.
o If TSI is above its signal line → bullish momentum.
o If TSI is below → bearish momentum.
4. EMA Trend Check
o Looks at two exponential moving averages (fast and slow).
o If price is above both → bullish.
o If price is below both → bearish.
5. Score System
o Each condition contributes +25 (bullish) or -25 (bearish).
o The total score can range from -100 to +100.
o Score ≥ +75 → Strong Buy
o Score ≤ -75 → Strong Sell
6. Signal Filtering
o Only one buy is allowed until a sell appears (and vice versa).
o A minimum bar gap is enforced between signals to avoid clutter.
________________________________________
📊 How It Appears on the Chart
• Green “BUY” label below candles → when multiple signals agree and the market is strongly bullish.
• Red “SELL” label above candles → when multiple signals agree and the market is strongly bearish.
• Background softly shaded green or red → highlights bullish or bearish conditions.
No messy tables, no clutter — just clear trend-based entries.
________________________________________
🎯 How Traders Can Use It
This indicator is designed to help traders by:
1. Filtering Noise
o Instead of reacting to every small crossover or RSI blip, it waits until at least 3–4 conditions agree.
o This avoids entering weak trades.
2. Identifying Strong Trend Shifts
o When a Buy or Sell arrow appears, it usually signals a shift in momentum that can lead to a larger move.
3. Reducing Overtrading
o By limiting signals, traders won’t be tempted to jump in and out unnecessarily.
4. Trade Confirmation
o Traders can use the signals as confirmation for their own setups.
o Example: If your strategy says “go long” and the indicator also shows a strong Buy, that trade has more conviction.
5. Alert Automation
o Built-in alerts mean you don’t have to watch the chart all day.
o You’ll be notified only when a strong signal appears.
________________________________________
⚡ When It Helps the Most
• Works best in trending markets (bullish or bearish).
• Very useful on higher timeframes (1h, 4h, daily) for swing trading.
• Can also work on lower timeframes (5m, 15m) if combined with higher timeframe trend filtering.
________________________________________
👉 In short
This indicator is a signal filter + trend detector. It combines four powerful tools into one scoring system, and only tells you to act when the odds are stacked in your favor.

RSI ROC Signals with Price Action# RSI ROC Signals with Price Action
## Overview
The RSI ROC (Rate of Change) Signals indicator is an advanced momentum-based trading system that combines RSI velocity analysis with price action confirmation to generate high-probability buy and sell signals. This indicator goes beyond traditional RSI analysis by measuring the speed of RSI changes and requiring price confirmation before triggering signals.
## Core Concept: RSI Rate of Change (ROC)
### What is RSI ROC?
RSI ROC measures the **velocity** or **acceleration** of the RSI indicator, providing insights into momentum shifts before they become apparent in traditional RSI readings.
**Formula**: `RSI ROC = ((Current RSI - Previous RSI) / Previous RSI) × 100`
### Why RSI ROC is Superior to Standard RSI:
1. **Early Momentum Detection**: Identifies momentum shifts before RSI reaches traditional overbought/oversold levels
2. **Velocity Analysis**: Measures the speed of momentum changes, not just absolute levels
3. **Reduced False Signals**: Filters out weak momentum moves that don't sustain
4. **Dynamic Thresholds**: Adapts to market volatility rather than using fixed RSI levels
5. **Leading Indicator**: Provides earlier signals compared to traditional RSI crossovers
## Signal Generation Logic
### 🟢 Buy Signal Process (3-Stage System):
#### Stage 1: Trigger Activation
- **RSI ROC** > threshold (default 7%) - RSI accelerating upward
- **Price ROC** > 0 - Price moving higher
- Records the **trigger high** (highest point during trigger)
#### Stage 2: Invalidation Check
- Signal invalidated if **RSI ROC** drops below negative threshold
- Prevents false signals during momentum reversals
#### Stage 3: Confirmation
- **Price breaks above trigger high** - Price action confirmation
- **Current candle is green** (close > open) - Bullish price action
- **State alternation** - Ensures no consecutive duplicate signals
### 🔴 Sell Signal Process (3-Stage System):
#### Stage 1: Trigger Activation
- **RSI ROC** < negative threshold (default -7%) - RSI accelerating downward
- **Price ROC** < 0 - Price moving lower
- Records the **trigger low** (lowest point during trigger)
#### Stage 2: Invalidation Check
- Signal invalidated if **RSI ROC** rises above positive threshold
- Prevents false signals during momentum reversals
#### Stage 3: Confirmation
- **Price breaks below trigger low** - Price action confirmation
- **Current candle is red** (close < open) - Bearish price action
- **State alternation** - Ensures no consecutive duplicate signals
## Key Features
### 🎯 **Smart Signal Management**
- **State Alternation**: Prevents signal clustering by alternating between buy/sell states
- **Trigger Invalidation**: Automatically cancels weak signals that lose momentum
- **Price Confirmation**: Requires actual price breakouts, not just momentum shifts
- **No Repainting**: Signals are confirmed and won't disappear or change
### ⚙️ **Customizable Parameters**
#### **RSI Length (Default: 14)**
- Standard RSI calculation period
- Shorter periods = more sensitive to price changes
- Longer periods = smoother, less noisy signals
#### **Lookback Period (Default: 1)**
- Period for ROC calculations
- 1 = compares to previous bar (most responsive)
- Higher values = smoother momentum detection
#### **RSI ROC Threshold (Default: 7%)**
- Minimum RSI velocity required for signal trigger
- Lower values = more signals, potentially more noise
- Higher values = fewer but higher-quality signals
### 📊 **Visual Signals**
- **Green Arrow Up**: Buy signal below price bar
- **Red Arrow Down**: Sell signal above price bar
- **Clean Chart**: No additional lines or oscillators cluttering the view
- **Size Options**: Customizable arrow sizes for visibility preferences
