WaridTR15 Dakika ve Üzeri Periyotlar İçin Önerilen Ayarlar:
EMA Uzunlukları:
Kısa EMA: 9 yerine 12 veya 14 kullanılabilir.
Uzun EMA: 21 yerine 26 veya 50 kullanılabilir.
Golden Cross için 50 EMA ve 200 EMA zaten uzun vadeli trendleri yakalar, bu nedenle değiştirmeye gerek yok.
RSI Uzunluğu:
RSI uzunluğu 14 yerine 21 veya 28 yapılabilir. Bu, daha uzun vadeli aşırı alım/aşırı satım bölgelerini daha doğru tespit eder.
Volume Filtresi:
Volume ortalaması için 20 periyot yerine 50 veya 100 periyot kullanılabilir. Bu, daha uzun vadeli hacim eğilimlerini yakalar.
Ichimoku Parametreleri:
Ichimoku, varsayılan olarak 9-26-52 periyotlarıyla çalışır. Bu, zaten uzun vadeli trendleri yakalamak için uygundur. Ancak, daha uzun periyotlar için:
Tenkan-Sen: 9 yerine 14.
Kijun-Sen: 26 yerine 52.
Senkou Span B: 52 yerine 104.

Momentum by Trading BiZonesSqueeze Momentum Indicator with EMA
Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator with EMA is a powerful technical analysis tool that combines the original Squeeze Momentum concept with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) overlay. This enhanced version helps traders identify market momentum, volatility contractions (squeezes), and potential trend reversals with greater precision.
Core Concept
The indicator operates on the principle of volatility contraction and expansion:
Squeeze Phase: When Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channel, indicating low volatility and potential energy buildup
Expansion Phase: When momentum breaks out of the squeeze, signaling potential directional moves
Key Components
1. Squeeze Momentum Calculation
Formula: Momentum = Linear Regression(Close - Average Price)
Where Average Price = (Highest High + Lowest Low + SMA(Close)) / 3
Visualization: Histogram bars showing positive (green) and negative (red) momentum
Zero Line: Represents equilibrium point between buyers and sellers
2. EMA Overlay
Purpose: Smooths momentum values to identify underlying trends
Customization:
Adjustable period (default: 20)
Toggle on/off display
Customizable color and line thickness
Cross Signals: Buy/sell signals when momentum crosses above/below EMA
3. Volatility Bands
Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2 standard deviations)
Keltner Channels (20-period, 1.5 ATR multiplier)
Squeeze Detection: Visual background shading when BB are inside KC
Trading Signals
Buy Signals (Green Upward Triangle)
Momentum histogram crosses ABOVE EMA line
Occurs during or after squeeze release
Confirmed by expanding histogram bars
Sell Signals (Red Downward Triangle)
Momentum histogram crosses BELOW EMA line
Often precedes market downturns
Watch for increasing negative momentum
Squeeze Warnings (Gray Background)
Market in low volatility state
Prepare for potential breakout
Direction indicated by momentum bias
Indicator Settings
Main Parameters
Length: Period for calculations (default: 20)
Show EMA: Toggle EMA visibility
EMA Period: Smoothing period for EMA
Visual Settings
Histogram color-coding based on momentum direction
EMA line color and thickness
Signal marker size and visibility
Squeeze zone background display
Practical Applications
Trend Identification
Uptrend: Consistently positive momentum with EMA support
Downtrend: Consistently negative momentum with EMA resistance
Range-bound: Oscillating around zero line
Entry/Exit Points
Conservative Entry: Wait for squeeze release + EMA crossover
Aggressive Entry: Anticipate breakout during squeeze
Exit: Opposite crossover or momentum divergence
Risk Management
Use squeeze zones as warning periods
EMA crossovers as confirmation signals
Combine with support/resistance levels
Advanced Interpretation
Momentum Strength
Strong Bullish: Tall green bars above EMA
Weak Bullish: Short green bars near EMA
Strong Bearish: Tall red bars below EMA
Weak Bearish: Short red bars near EMA
Divergence Detection
Price makes higher high, momentum makes lower high → Bearish divergence
Price makes lower low, momentum makes higher low → Bullish divergence
Squeeze Characteristics
Long squeezes: More potential energy
Frequent squeezes: Choppy market conditions
No squeezes: High volatility, trending markets
Recommended Timeframes
Scalping: 1-15 minute charts
Day Trading: 15-minute to 4-hour charts
Swing Trading: 4-hour to daily charts
Position Trading: Daily to weekly charts
Best Practices
Confirmation
Use with volume indicators
Check higher timeframe direction
Wait for candle close confirmation
Filtering Signals
Ignore signals during extreme volatility
Require minimum bar size for crossovers
Consider market context (news, sessions)
Combination Suggestions
With RSI: Confirm overbought/oversold conditions
With Volume Profile: Identify high-volume nodes
With Support/Resistance: Key level reactions
With Trend Lines: Breakout confirmations
Limitations
Lagging indicator (based on past data)
Works best in trending markets
May give false signals in ranging markets
Requires proper risk management
Conclusion
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator with EMA provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining volatility analysis, momentum measurement, and trend smoothing. Its visual clarity and customizable parameters make it suitable for traders of all experience levels seeking to identify high-probability trading opportunities during volatility contractions and expansions.

MoneyLine CypherMoneyLine Cipher - Adaptive Trend-Following Signal System
MoneyLine Cipher decodes market structure by fusing multiple technical indicators into a unified signal system with intelligent threshold adaptation. The indicator automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on trend conditions, making it harder to buy in downtrends and harder to sell in uptrends - letting winners run while protecting capital during adverse conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CORE COMPONENTS
The MoneyLine
The foundation is a 16-period linear regression line that serves as a dynamic mean. Price oscillates around this line, and the slope determines the visual color coding: green for bullish slope, red for bearish, yellow for neutral/flat conditions.
Grok Dynamic Bands
ATR-based envelope bands surround the MoneyLine. When ADX exceeds the threshold (default 22), the bands automatically widen using a multiplier that scales with trend strength. Base multiplier is 1.8x ATR, expanding up to 2.8x during strong trends. This prevents premature signals during powerful directional moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TREND STATE ENGINE
MoneyLine Cipher classifies market conditions into five trend states using a combination of DI spread, ADX strength, and OBV confirmation.
The DI spread (Plus DI minus Minus DI) determines directional bias. When the spread exceeds +10 with ADX above 20 and bullish OBV confirmation, the market is classified as STRONG UPTREND. A spread between +5 and +10 indicates UPTREND. The reverse applies for downtrends. Spreads between -5 and +5 are NEUTRAL.
This trend state classification drives all dynamic threshold adjustments throughout the indicator.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DYNAMIC THRESHOLDS
The key innovation of MoneyLine Cipher is that buy and sell thresholds adapt based on the current trend state.
Fisher Transform Thresholds
In a STRONG UPTREND, the Fisher buy threshold relaxes to -1.0 (easier to trigger) while the sell threshold tightens to 2.5 (harder to trigger). This lets you accumulate during strength and hold winners longer. In a STRONG DOWNTREND, the opposite occurs: buy threshold tightens to -2.5 (requiring extreme oversold) while sell threshold relaxes to 1.0 (quick exits). NEUTRAL conditions use base thresholds of -1.8 for buys and 1.8 for sells.
Aroon Thresholds
Aroon Up and Aroon Down thresholds follow the same adaptive logic. During uptrends, buy conditions become easier to meet while sell conditions become stricter. During downtrends, the system becomes defensive - demanding stronger oversold readings before allowing buys.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL GENERATION
Buy signals trigger when Fisher is below the dynamic buy threshold AND Aroon conditions are met, OR when price touches the lower band. Sell signals trigger when Fisher exceeds the dynamic sell threshold AND Aroon conditions are met, OR when price touches the upper band.
Signals are displayed as labels showing the entry price and buy count (e.g., "BUY 2/3: 89,450.00").
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CASCADE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Two layers of protection prevent catastrophic drawdowns during volatile conditions.
BBWP Freeze
Bollinger Band Width Percentile measures volatility expansion relative to recent history. When BBWP exceeds 92%, ALL buy signals are frozen. This prevents averaging down during volatility spikes that often precede major crashes. The info panel displays BBWP status with OK (green) or FROZEN (red).
Consecutive Buy Limit
The system tracks how many buys have occurred without an intervening sell. Default maximum is 3 consecutive buys. Once reached, additional buys are blocked until a sell resets the counter. This prevents unlimited averaging down into a falling knife. The info panel shows the current count (e.g., "2/3").
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXTREME MOVE DETECTION
When price penetrates beyond the bands by more than 0.6x ATR (configurable), an EXTREME signal fires. These signals have special properties.
Extreme signals can bypass the normal cooldown period, allowing rapid response to flash crashes or spikes. They can optionally bypass the BBWP freeze (though the consecutive buy counter still applies). Extreme signals fire intra-bar when the threshold is hit, catching wick reversals before candle close.
EXTREME BUY labels appear in cyan. EXTREME SELL labels appear in fuchsia.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RSI DIVERGENCE DETECTION
The indicator automatically detects four types of RSI divergence.
Regular Bullish Divergence occurs when price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low - suggesting weakening selling pressure and potential reversal up.
Hidden Bullish Divergence occurs when price makes a higher low but RSI makes a lower low - suggesting trend continuation in an uptrend.
Regular Bearish Divergence occurs when price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high - suggesting weakening buying pressure and potential reversal down.
Hidden Bearish Divergence occurs when price makes a lower high but RSI makes a higher high - suggesting trend continuation in a downtrend.
Divergences are marked with small diamond shapes: cyan for regular divergences, purple for hidden divergences. Optional lines connect the pivot points on the price chart.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COOLDOWN SYSTEM
After any signal fires, a configurable cooldown period (default 5 bars) prevents signal spam. This can be configured to apply after buys only, sells only, or both. Extreme signals can optionally bypass cooldown for rapid response to major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VISUAL ELEMENTS
ADX Bar
A colored dot at the bottom of each candle indicates trend state. Lime for STRONG UPTREND, blue for UPTREND, orange for NEUTRAL, red for DOWNTREND, maroon for STRONG DOWNTREND, and white for RANGING (ADX below 15). All colors are configurable.
Signal Candles
When a buy or sell signal fires, the candle turns bright blue for easy identification.
Info Panel
A compact panel in the top-right displays real-time status: current trend state, divergence detection, BBWP percentage and status, buy counter, ADX reading, Aroon values, Fisher value, cooldown status, and current dynamic thresholds for both buy and sell.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WEBHOOK ALERTS
MoneyLine Cipher outputs JSON-formatted webhook alerts compatible with automated trading systems. Each alert includes action (BUY/SELL), symbol, price, trigger type (INDICATOR, BAND_TOUCH, EXTREME, or EXTREME_INTRABAR), current trend state, consecutive buy count, and BBWP reading.
Separate alert conditions are available for regular buys, regular sells, extreme buys, extreme sells, BBWP freeze activation, BBWP unfreeze, and max consecutive buys reached.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
The default settings are optimized for 5-minute cryptocurrency charts. Key adjustable parameters include Money Line Length (16), Base ATR Multiplier (1.8), Max Multiplier for strong trends (2.8), ADX threshold for band expansion (22), minimum ADX for strong trend classification (20), BBWP freeze level (92%), maximum consecutive buys (3), cooldown period (5 bars), and extreme penetration threshold (0.6x ATR).
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PHILOSOPHY
MoneyLine Cipher embodies a core trading principle: be aggressive when conditions favor you, defensive when they don't. By automatically adapting thresholds based on trend state and implementing multiple layers of capital protection, the indicator helps traders stay on the right side of the market while avoiding the common pitfalls of averaging down into crashes or selling too early in strong trends.
The name "Cipher" reflects the indicator's purpose: decoding the complex interplay of price, momentum, trend, and volatility into clear, actionable signals.
Trend Following $BTC - Multi-Timeframe Structure + ReversTREND FOLLOWING STRATEGY - MULTI-TIMEFRAME STRUCTURE BREAKOUT SYSTEM
Strategy Overview
This is an enhanced Turtle Trading system designed for cryptocurrency spot trading. It combines Donchian Channel breakouts with multi-timeframe structure filtering and ATR-based dynamic risk management. The strategy trades both long and short positions using reverse signal exits to maximize trend capture.
Core Features
Multi-Timeframe Structure Filtering
The strategy uses Swing High/Low analysis to identify market structure trends. You can customize the structure timeframe (default: 3 minutes) to match your trading style. Only enters trades aligned with the identified trend direction, avoiding counter-trend positions that often lead to losses.
Reverse Signal Exit System
Instead of using fixed stop-losses or time-based exits, this strategy exits positions only when a reverse entry signal triggers. This approach maximizes trend profits and reduces premature exits during normal market retracements.
ATR Dynamic Pyramiding

Quarterly Cycle Theory with DST time AdjustedThe Quarterly Theory removes ambiguity, as it gives specific time-based reference points to look for when entering trades. Before being able to apply this theory to trading, one must first understand that time is fractal:
Yearly Quarters = 4 quarters of three months each.
Monthly Quarters = 4 quarters of one week each.
Weekly Quarters = 4 quarters of one day each (Monday - Thursday). Friday has its own specific function.
Daily Quarters = 4 quarters of 6 hours each = 4 trading sessions of a trading day.
Sessions Quarters = 4 quarters of 90 minutes each.
90 Minute Quarters = 4 quarters of 22.5 minutes each.
Yearly Cycle: Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each:
Q1 - January, February, March.
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open).
Q3 - July, August, September.
Q4 - October, November, December.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (daily candles) — Monthly Cycle.
Monthly Cycle: Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day):
Q1 - Week 1: first Monday of the month.
Q2 - Week 2: second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Week 3: third Monday of the month.
Q4 - Week 4: fourth Monday of the month.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (4 hour candles) — Weekly Cycle.
Weekly Cycle: Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action:
Q1 - Monday.
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Wednesday.
Q4 - Thursday.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (1 hour candles) — Daily Cycle.
Daily Cycle: The Day can be broken down into 6 hour quarters. These times roughly define the sessions of the trading day, reinforcing the theory’s validity:
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00 Asia.
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00 London (True Open).
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00 NY AM.

CRT Hourly/15m dividers and opensRange Separator is a unique tool designed to help traders visualize critical price levels and ranges on their charts. This script employs the innovative concepts of "Candles Are Ranges" and the "Power of 3 (PO3)" to enhance trading strategies by marking key time intervals and price levels.
What the Script Does:
Hourly Lines:
Automatically draws vertical lines at the start of each hour.
Provides an option to display only the current hour's line for a cleaner visual.
Allows customization of line color, width, and style.
15-Minute Lines:
Adds vertical lines at 15-minute intervals to highlight smaller time ranges.
Includes an option to draw horizontal lines at the 15-minute interval prices.
Offers customization for line color, width, and style.
Horizontal Lines:
Draws horizontal lines based on the opening, high, or low price of the selected timeframe.
Customizable options for line color, width, and style.
How the Script Works:
Candles Are Ranges: Each candle represents a price range (OHLC) on any timeframe. The script visually emphasizes these ranges, helping traders understand price action better.
Power of 3 (PO3): This concept divides price delivery into three stages: formation, turtle soup (stop hunting), and distribution/expansion. The script marks these intervals, aiding in identifying potential key levels for entries and exits.
How to Use the Script:
Adding the Script:
Apply the script to your chart and adjust the settings in the input menu.
Customize the appearance of hourly and 15-minute lines to suit your preference.
Analyzing the Chart:
Observe the hourly lines to determine higher timeframe biases.
Use 15-minute lines to identify more granular price movements.
Pay attention to horizontal lines that mark significant price levels based on your chosen criteria (open, high, low).
Trading Strategy:
Combine the script's visual aids with your understanding of the "Candles Are Ranges" and "Power of 3" concepts.
Use these visual cues to make informed decisions about potential entry and exit points.
What Makes it Original:
Integration of Candles Are Ranges and PO3 Concepts: Unlike traditional scripts that merely plot lines, this script uniquely integrates two powerful trading theories to provide a comprehensive view of price action.
Customizable Visual Aids: Offers extensive customization options for line colors, widths, and styles, allowing traders to tailor the script to their specific needs.
Enhanced Timeframe Analysis: By marking both hourly and 15-minute intervals, the script provides a detailed view of price ranges across multiple timeframes, enhancing the trader's ability to make informed decisions.

Macros+AMD [NW]Macros + AMD - Daily & Weekly Time-Based Analysis
Multi-timeframe AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) visualization with ICT Macro timing windows for time-based market analysis.
Overview
This indicator visualizes the AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) framework on both daily and weekly timeframes, combined with ICT Macro timing windows. It is designed as an educational tool to help traders study time-based market structure and algorithmic price delivery concepts.
The AMD model is based on the idea that markets move through distinct phases within each trading period:
Accumulation (A) - Initial range formation, liquidity building
Manipulation (M) - False moves to trap traders, liquidity sweeps
Distribution (D) - True directional move, price delivery to targets
What This Indicator Displays
Daily AMD Phases
Displays the intraday AMD cycle based on New York trading hours:
A Phase (Blue): 4:00 AM - 8:35 AM EST — Morning accumulation, Asian/London overlap
M Phase (Red): 8:35 AM - 11:25 AM EST — NY session manipulation, news events
D Phase (Green): 11:25 AM - 4:00 PM EST — Afternoon distribution and price delivery
Weekly AMD Phases
Displays the weekly AMD cycle from Monday to Monday:
A Phase: Monday 00:00 - Tuesday 21:56 EST — Weekly high/low formation begins
M Phase: Tuesday 21:56 - Thursday 02:04 EST — Mid-week reversal zone
D Phase: Thursday 02:04 - Monday 00:00 EST — Weekly price delivery
Inner M Phase Fibs
When enabled, subdivides the M (Manipulation) phase using Fibonacci levels:
0.382 level — Inner accumulation ends
0.500 level — Mid-point of manipulation
0.618 level — Inner distribution begins
This helps identify potential reversal points within the manipulation phase.
ICT Macro Windows
Horizontal lines marking the XX:42 to XX:15 macro periods (33-minute windows):
2:42 - 3:15 AM
3:42 - 4:15 AM (London)
7:42 - 8:15 AM
8:42 - 9:15 AM
9:42 - 10:15 AM (Prime AM session)
10:42 - 11:15 AM
11:42 - 12:15 PM
12:42 - 1:15 PM
1:42 - 2:15 PM
2:42 - 3:15 PM
These windows represent times when algorithmic price delivery is more likely to occur.
How To Use
Understanding the AMD Framework
During the A Phase:
Observe range formation and initial liquidity pools
Note the high and low established during this phase
Wait for manipulation before committing to direction
During the M Phase:
Watch for false breakouts and stop hunts
Look for reversal patterns after liquidity sweeps
The inner fibs (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) can help time entries within this phase
Mid-week (Wednesday) often sees key reversals on weekly AMD
During the D Phase:
This is typically when the true move occurs
Price tends to deliver toward draw on liquidity targets
The direction is often opposite to the manipulation move
Using the Macro Windows
The XX:42 to XX:15 windows are times to pay attention to price action:
These 33-minute periods often see increased algorithmic activity
Look for displacement, fair value gaps, or order blocks forming
The 9:42-10:15 AM window is considered particularly significant for NY session
Weekly Day Labels
Monday/Tuesday: "H/L of Week" — Watch for weekly high or low formation
Wednesday: "Reversal Day" — Mid-week reversal probability increases
Thursday/Friday: "Reversal Day" — Continuation or secondary reversal
Settings Guide

Luxy Super-Duper SuperTrend Predictor Engine and Buy/Sell signalA professional trend-following grading system that analyzes historical trend
patterns to provide statistical duration estimates using advanced similarity
matching and k-nearest neighbors analysis. Combines adaptive Supertrend with
intelligent duration statistics, multi-timeframe confluence, volume confirmation,
and quality scoring to identify high-probability setups with data-driven
target ranges across all timeframes.
Note: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical data, not guarantees of future performance.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Unlike traditional SuperTrend indicators that only tell you trend direction, this system answers the critical question: "What is the typical duration for trends like this?"
The Statistical Analysis Engine:
• Analyzes your chart's last 15+ completed SuperTrend trends (bullish and bearish separately)
• Uses k-nearest neighbors similarity matching to find historically similar setups
• Calculates statistical duration estimates based on current market conditions
• Learns from estimation errors and adapts over time (Advanced mode)
• Displays visual duration analysis box showing median, average, and range estimates
• Tracks Statistical accuracy with backtest statistics
Complete Trading System:
• Statistical trend duration analysis with three intelligence levels
• Adaptive Supertrend with dynamic ATR-based bands
• Multi-timeframe confluence analysis (6 timeframes: 5M to 1W)
• Volume confirmation with spike detection and momentum tracking
• Quality scoring system (0-70 points) rating each setup
• One-click preset optimization for all trading styles
• Anti-repaint guarantee on all signals and duration estimates
METHODOLOGY CREDITS
This indicator's approach is inspired by proven trading methodologies from respected market educators:
• Mark Minervini - Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) and pullback entry techniques
• William O'Neil - Volume confirmation principles and institutional buying patterns (CANSLIM methodology)
• Dan Zanger - Volatility expansion entries and momentum breakout strategies
Important: These are educational references only. This indicator does not guarantee any specific trading results. Always conduct your own analysis and risk management.
KEY FEATURES
1. TREND DURATION ANALYSIS SYSTEM - The Core Innovation
The statistical analysis engine is what sets this indicator apart from standard SuperTrend systems. It doesn't just identify trend changes - it provides statistical analysis of potential duration.
How It Works:
Step 1: Historical Tracking
• Automatically records every completed SuperTrend trend (duration in bars)
• Maintains separate databases for bullish trends and bearish trends
• Stores up to 15 most recent trends of each type
• Captures market conditions at each trend flip: volume ratio, ATR ratio, quality score, price distance from SuperTrend, proximity to support/resistance
Step 2: Similarity Matching (k-Nearest Neighbors)
• When new trend begins, system compares current conditions to ALL historical flips
• Calculates similarity score based on:
- Volume similarity (30% weight) - Is volume behaving similarly?
- Volatility similarity (30% weight) - Is ATR/volatility similar?
- Quality similarity (20% weight) - Is setup strength comparable?
- Distance similarity (10% weight) - Is price distance from ST similar?
- Support/Resistance proximity (10% weight) - Similar structural context?
• Selects the 15 MOST SIMILAR historical trends (not just all trends)
• This is like asking: "When conditions looked like this before, how long did trends last?"
Step 3: Statistical Analysis
• Calculates median duration (most common outcome)
• Calculates average duration (mean of similar trends)
• Determines realistic range (min to max of similar trends)
• Applies exponential weighting (recent trends weighted more heavily)
• Outputs confidence-weighted statistical estimate
Step 4: Advanced Intelligence (Advanced Mode Only)
The Advanced mode applies five sophisticated multipliers to refine estimates:
A) Market Structure Multiplier (±30%):
• Detects nearby support/resistance levels using pivot detection
• If flip occurs NEAR a key level: Estimate adjusted -30% (expect bounce/rejection)
• If flip occurs in open space: Estimate adjusted +30% (clear path for continuation)
• Uses configurable lookback period and ATR-based proximity threshold
B) Asset Type Multiplier (±40%):
• Adjusts duration estimates based on asset volatility characteristics
• Small Cap / Biotech: +40% (explosive, extended moves)
• Tech Growth: +20% (momentum-driven, longer trends)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: 0% (baseline, steady trends)
• Dividend / Value: -20% (slower, grinding trends)
• Cyclical: Variable based on macro regime
• Crypto / High Volatility: +30% (parabolic potential)
C) Flip Strength Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes the QUALITY of the trend flip itself
• Strong flip (high volume + expanding ATR + quality score 60+): +20%
• Weak flip (low volume + contracting ATR + quality score under 40): -20%
• Logic: Historical data shows that powerful flips tend to be followed by longer trends
D) Error Learning Multiplier (±15%):
• Tracks Statistical accuracy over last 10 completed trends
• Calculates error ratio: (estimated duration / Actual Duration)
• If system consistently over-estimates: Apply -15% correction
• If system consistently under-estimates: Apply +15% correction
• Learns and adapts to current market regime
E) Regime Detection Multiplier (±20%):
• Analyzes last 3 trends of SAME TYPE (bull-to-bull or bear-to-bear)
• Compares recent trend durations to historical average
• If recent trends 20%+ longer than average: +20% adjustment (trending regime detected)
• If recent trends 20%+ shorter than average: -20% adjustment (choppy regime detected)
• Detects whether market is in trending or mean-reversion mode
Three analysis modes:
SIMPLE MODE - Basic Statistics
• Uses raw median of similar trends only
• No multipliers, no adjustments
• Best for: Beginners, clean trending markets
• Fastest calculations, minimal complexity
STANDARD MODE - Full Statistical Analysis
• Similarity matching with k-nearest neighbors
• Exponential weighting of recent trends
• Median, average, and range calculations
• Best for: Most traders, general market conditions
• Balance of accuracy and simplicity
ADVANCED MODE - Statistics + Intelligence
• Everything in Standard mode PLUS
• All 5 advanced multipliers (structure, asset type, flip strength, learning, regime)
• Highest Statistical accuracy in testing
• Best for: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets
• Maximum intelligence, most adaptive
Visual Duration Analysis Box:
When a new trend begins (SuperTrend flip), a box appears on your chart showing:
• Analysis Mode (Simple / Standard / Advanced)
• Number of historical trends analyzed
• Median expected duration (most likely outcome)
• Average expected duration (mean of similar trends)
• Range (minimum to maximum from similar trends)
• Advanced multipliers breakdown (Advanced mode only)
• Backtest accuracy statistics (if available)
The box extends from the flip bar to the estimated endpoint based on historical data, giving you a visual target for trend duration. Box updates in real-time as trend progresses.
Backtest & Accuracy Tracking:
• System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data
• Shows accuracy metrics: how well duration estimates matched actual durations
• Tracks last 10 completed duration estimates separately
• Displays statistics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps you understand statistical reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Anti-Repaint Guarantee:
• duration analysis boxes only appear AFTER bar close (barstate.isconfirmed)
• Historical duration estimates never disappear or change
• What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen real-time
• No future data leakage, no lookahead bias
2. INTELLIGENT PRESET CONFIGURATIONS - One-Click Optimization
Unlike indicators that require tedious parameter tweaking, this system includes professionally optimized presets for every trading style. Select your approach from the dropdown and ALL parameters auto-configure.
"AUTO (DETECT FROM TF)" - RECOMMENDED
The smartest option: automatically selects optimal settings based on your chart timeframe.
• 1m-5m charts → Scalping preset (ATR: 7, Mult: 2.0)
• 15m-1h charts → Day Trading preset (ATR: 10, Mult: 2.5)
• 2h-4h-D charts → Swing Trading preset (ATR: 14, Mult: 3.0)
• W-M charts → Position Trading preset (ATR: 21, Mult: 4.0)
Benefits:
• Zero configuration - works immediately
• Always matched to your timeframe
• Switch timeframe = automatic adjustment
• Perfect for traders who use multiple timeframes

3. QUALITY SCORING SYSTEM (0-70 Points)
Every signal is rated in real-time across three dimensions:
Volume Confirmation (0-30 points):
• Volume Spike (2.5x+ average): 30 points
• High Volume (1.5x+ average): 20 points
• Above Average (1.0x+ average): 10 points
• Below Average: 0 points
Volatility Assessment (0-30 points):
• Expanding ATR (1.2x+ average): 30 points
• Rising ATR (1.0-1.2x average): 15 points
• Contracting/Stable ATR: 0 points
Volume Momentum (0-10 points):
• Strong Momentum (1.2x+ ratio): 10 points
• Rising Momentum (1.0-1.2x ratio): 5 points
• Weak/Neutral Momentum: 0 points
Score Interpretation:
60-70 points - EXCELLENT:
• All factors aligned
• High conviction setup
• Maximum position size (within risk limits)
• Primary trading opportunities
45-59 points - STRONG:
• Multiple confirmations present
• Above-average setup quality
• Standard position size
• Good trading opportunities
30-44 points - GOOD:
• Basic confirmations met
• Acceptable setup quality
• Reduced position size
• Wait for additional confirmation or trade smaller
Below 30 points - WEAK:
• Minimal confirmations
• Low probability setup
• Consider passing
• Only for aggressive traders in strong trends
Only signals meeting your minimum quality threshold (configurable per preset) generate alerts and labels.
4. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS
The system can simultaneously analyze trend alignment across 6 timeframes (optional feature):
Timeframes analyzed:
• 5-minute (scalping context)
• 15-minute (intraday momentum)
• 1-hour (day trading bias)
• 4-hour (swing context)
• Daily (primary trend)
• Weekly (macro trend)
Confluence Interpretation:
• 5-6/6 aligned - Very strong multi-timeframe agreement (highest confidence)
• 3-4/6 aligned - Moderate agreement (standard setup)
• 1-2/6 aligned - Weak agreement (caution advised)
Dashboard shows real-time alignment count with color-coding. Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends.
5. VOLUME MOMENTUM FILTER - Institutional Money Flow
Unlike traditional volume indicators that just measure size, Volume Momentum tracks the RATE OF CHANGE in volume:
How it works:
• Compares short-term volume average (fast period) to long-term average (slow period)
• Ratio above 1.0 = Volume accelerating (money flowing IN)
• Ratio above 1.2 = Strong acceleration (institutional participation likely)
• Ratio below 0.8 = Volume decelerating (money flowing OUT)
Why it matters:
• Confirms trend with actual money flow, not just price
• Leading indicator (volume often leads price)
• Catches accumulation/distribution before breakouts
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
Integration with signals:
• Optional filter - can be enabled/disabled per preset
• When enabled: Only signals with rising volume momentum fire
• AUTO-DISABLED in Scalping mode (too restrictive for fast trading)
• Configurable fast/slow periods per trading style
6. ADAPTIVE SUPERTREND MULTIPLIER
Traditional SuperTrend uses fixed ATR multiplier. This system dynamically adjusts the multiplier (0.8x to 1.2x base) based on:
• Trend Strength: Price correlation over lookback period
• Volume Weight: Current volume relative to average
Benefits:
• Tighter bands in calm markets (less premature exits)
• Wider bands in volatile conditions (avoids whipsaws)
• Better adaptation to biotech, small-cap, and crypto volatility
• Optional - can be disabled for classic constant multiplier
7. VISUAL GRADIENT RIBBON
26-layer exponential gradient fill between price and SuperTrend line provides instant visual trend strength assessment:
Color System:
• Green shades - Bullish trend + volume confirmation (strongest)
• Blue shades - Bullish trend, normal volume
• Orange shades - Bearish trend + volume confirmation
• Red shades - Bearish trend (weakest)
Opacity varies based on:
• Distance from SuperTrend (farther = more opaque)
• Volume intensity (higher volume = stronger color)
The ribbon provides at-a-glance trend strength without cluttering your chart. Can be toggled on/off.
8. INTELLIGENT ALERT SYSTEM
Two-tier alert architecture for flexibility:
Automatic Alerts:
• Fire automatically on BUY and SELL signals
• Include full context: quality score, volume state, volume momentum
• One alert per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
• Message format: "BUY: Supertrend bullish + Quality: 65/70 | Volume: HIGH | Vol Momentum: STRONG (1.35x)"
Customizable Alert Conditions:
• Appear in TradingView's "Create Alert" dialog
• Three options: BUY Signal Only, SELL Signal Only, ANY Signal (BUY or SELL)
• Use TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}, {{time}}
• Fully customizable message templates
All alerts use barstate.isconfirmed - Zero repaint guarantee.
9. ANTI-REPAINT ARCHITECTURE
Every component guaranteed non-repainting:
• Entry signals: Only appear after bar close
• duration analysis boxes: Created only on confirmed SuperTrend flips
• Informative labels: Wait for bar confirmation
• Alerts: Fire once per closed bar
• Multi-timeframe data: Uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. No disappearing signals, no changed duration estimates.

USING duration analysis boxES FOR TRADE MANAGEMENT:
Entry Timing:
• Enter on SuperTrend flip (signal bar close)
• duration analysis box appears simultaneously
• Note the median duration - this is your expected hold time
Profit Targets:
• Conservative: Use MEDIAN duration as profit target (50% probability)
• Moderate: Use AVERAGE duration (mean of similar trends)
• Aggressive: Aim for MAX duration from range (best historical outcome)
Position Management:
• Scale out at median duration (take partial profits)
• Trail stop as trend extends beyond median
• Full exit at average duration or SuperTrend flip (whichever comes first)
• Re-evaluate if trend exceeds estimated range
analysis mode Selection:
• Simple: Clean trending markets, beginners, minimal complexity
• Standard: Most markets, most traders (recommended default)
• Advanced: Volatile markets, complex instruments, experienced traders seeking highest accuracy
Asset Type Configuration (Advanced Mode):
If using Advanced analysis mode, configure Asset Type for optimal accuracy:
• Small Cap: Stocks under $2B market cap, low liquidity
• Biotech / Speculative: Clinical-stage pharma, penny stocks, high-risk
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: S&P 500, mega-cap tech, stable large companies
• Tech Growth: High-growth tech (TSLA, NVDA, growth SaaS)
• Dividend / Value: Dividend aristocrats, value stocks, utilities
• Cyclical: Energy, materials, industrials (macro-driven)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Bitcoin, altcoins, highly volatile assets
Correct asset type selection improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%.
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
1. Stop Loss Placement:
Long positions:
• Place stop below recent swing low OR
• Place stop below SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level (built-in volatility adjustment)
Short positions:
• Place stop above recent swing high OR
• Place stop above SuperTrend level (whichever is tighter)
• Use 1-2 ATR distance as guideline
• Recommended: SuperTrend level
2. Position Sizing by Quality Score:
• Excellent (60-70): Maximum position size (2% risk per trade)
• Strong (45-59): Standard position size (1.5% risk per trade)
• Good (30-44): Reduced position size (1% risk per trade)
• Weak (Below 30): Pass or micro position (0.5% risk - learning trades only)
3. Exit Strategy Options:
Option A - Statistical Duration-Based Exit:
• Exit at median estimated duration (conservative)
• Exit at average estimated duration (moderate)
• Trail stop beyond average duration (aggressive)
Option B - Signal-Based Exit:
• Exit on opposite signal (SELL after BUY, or vice versa)
• Exit on SuperTrend flip (trend reversal)
• Exit if quality score drops below 30 mid-trend
Option C - Hybrid (Recommended):
• Take 50% profit at median estimated duration
• Trail stop on remaining 50% using SuperTrend as trailing level
• Full exit on SuperTrend flip or quality collapse
4. Trade Filtering:
For higher win-rate (fewer trades, better quality):
• Increase minimum quality score (try 60 for swing, 50 for day trading)
• Enable volume momentum filter (ensure institutional participation)
• Require higher MTF confluence (5-6/6 alignment)
• Use Advanced analysis mode with appropriate asset type
For more opportunities (more trades, lower quality threshold):
• Decrease minimum quality score (40 for day trading, 35 for scalping)
• Disable volume momentum filter
• Lower MTF confluence requirement
• Use Simple or Standard analysis mode

ADVANCED FEATURES
1. Scalpel Mode (Optional)
Advanced pullback entry system that waits for healthy retracements within established trends before signaling entry:
• Monitors price distance from SuperTrend levels
• Requires pullback to configurable range (default: 30-50%)
• Ensures trend remains intact before entry signal
• Reduces whipsaw and false breakouts
• Inspired by Mark Minervini's VCP pullback entries
Best for: Swing traders and day traders seeking precision entries
Scalpers: Consider disabling for faster entries
2. Error Learning System (Advanced analysis mode Only)
The system learns from its own estimation errors:
• Tracks last 10-20 completed duration estimates (configurable memory depth)
• Calculates error ratio for each: estimated duration / Actual Duration
• If system consistently over-estimates: Applies negative correction (-15%)
• If system consistently under-estimates: Applies positive correction (+15%)
• Adapts to current market regime automatically
This self-correction mechanism improves accuracy over time as the system gathers more data on your specific symbol and timeframe.
3. Regime Detection (Advanced analysis mode Only)
Automatically detects whether market is in trending or choppy regime:
• Compares last 3 trends to historical average
• Recent trends 20%+ longer → Trending regime (+20% to estimates)
• Recent trends 20%+ shorter → Choppy regime (-20% to estimates)
• Applied separately to bullish and bearish trends
Helps duration estimates adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention.
4. Exponential Weighting
Option to weight recent trends more heavily than distant history:
• Default decay factor: 0.9
• Recent trends get higher weight in statistical calculations
• Older trends gradually decay in importance
• Rationale: Recent market behavior more relevant than old data
• Can be disabled for equal weighting
5. Backtest Statistics
System backtests its own duration estimates using historical data:
• Walks through past trends chronologically
• Calculates what duration estimate WOULD have been at each flip
• Compares to actual duration that occurred
• Displays accuracy metrics in duration analysis boxes and dashboard
• Helps assess statistical reliability on your specific chart
Note: Backtest uses only data available AT THE TIME of each historical flip (no lookahead bias).

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Trending Markets Only: Performs best in clear trends. May generate false signals in choppy/sideways markets (use quality score filtering and regime detection to mitigate)
• Lagging Nature: Like all trend-following systems, signals occur AFTER trend establishment, not at exact tops/bottoms. Use duration analysis boxes to set realistic profit targets.
• Initial Learning Period: Duration analysis system requires 10-15 completed trends to build reliable historical database. Early duration estimates less accurate (first few weeks on new symbol/timeframe).
• Visual Load: 26-layer gradient ribbon may slow performance on older devices. Disable ribbon if experiencing lag.
• Statistical accuracy Variables: Duration estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Accuracy varies by:
- Market regime (trending vs choppy)
- Asset volatility characteristics
- Quality of historical pattern matches
- Timeframe traded (higher TF = more reliable)
• Not Best Suitable For:
- Ultra-short-term scalping (sub-1-minute charts)
- Mean-reversion strategies (designed for trend-following)
- Range-bound trading (requires trending conditions)
- News-driven spikes (estimates based on technical patterns, not fundamentals)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: Absolutely not. All signals, duration analysis boxes, labels, and alerts use barstate.isconfirmed checks. They only appear after the bar closes. What you see in history is exactly what you would have seen in real-time. Zero repaint guarantee.
Q: How accurate are the trend duration estimates?
A: Accuracy varies by mode, market conditions, and historical data quality:
• Simple mode: 60-70% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Standard mode: 70-80% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
• Advanced mode: 75-85% accuracy (within ±20% of actual duration)
Best accuracy achieved on:
• Higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly)
• Trending markets (not choppy/sideways)
• Assets with consistent behavior (Blue Chip, Large Cap)
• After 20+ historical trends analyzed (builds robust database)
Remember: All duration estimates are statistical calculations based on historical patterns, not guarantees.
Q: Which analysis mode should I use?
A:
• Simple: Beginners, clean trending markets, want minimal complexity
• Standard: Most traders, general market conditions (RECOMMENDED DEFAULT)
• Advanced: Experienced traders, volatile/complex markets (biotech, small-cap, crypto), seeking maximum accuracy
Advanced mode requires correct Asset Type configuration for optimal results.
Q: What's the difference between the trading style presets?
A: Each preset optimizes ALL parameters for a specific trading approach:
• Scalping: Ultra-sensitive (ATR 7, Mult 2.0), more signals, shorter holds
• Day Trading: Balanced (ATR 10, Mult 2.5), moderate signals, intraday holds
• Swing Trading: Stable (ATR 14, Mult 3.0), fewer signals, multi-day holds
• Position Trading: Very stable (ATR 21, Mult 4.0), rare signals, week/month holds
Auto mode automatically selects based on your chart timeframe.
Q: Should I use Auto mode or manually select a preset?
A: Auto mode is recommended for most traders. It automatically matches settings to your timeframe and re-optimizes if you switch charts. Only use manual preset selection if:
• You want scalping settings on a 15m chart (overriding auto-detection)
• You want swing settings on a 1h chart (more conservative than auto would give)
• You're testing different approaches on same timeframe
Q: Can I use this for scalping and day trading?
A: Absolutely! The preset system is specifically designed for all trading styles:
• Select "Scalping (1-5m)" for 1-5 minute charts
• Select "Day Trading (15m-1h)" for 15m-1h charts
• Or use "Auto" mode and it configures automatically
Volume momentum filter is auto-disabled in Scalping mode for faster signals.
Q: What is Volume Momentum and why does it matter?
A: Volume Momentum compares short-term volume (fast MA) to long-term volume (slow MA). It answers: "Is money flowing into this asset faster now than historically?"
Why it matters:
• Volume often leads price (early warning system)
• Confirms institutional participation (smart money)
• No lag like price-based indicators
• More intuitive than complex mathematical filters
When the ratio is above 1.2, you have strong evidence that institutions are accumulating (bullish) or distributing (bearish).
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Two options:
Option 1 - Automatic Alerts:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. Choose "Any alert() function call"
4. Configure notification method (app, email, webhook)
5. You'll receive detailed alerts on every BUY and SELL signal
Option 2 - Customizable Alert Conditions:
1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert
2. Condition: Select this indicator
3. You'll see three options in dropdown:
- "BUY Signal" (long signals only)
- "SELL Signal" (short signals only)
- "ANY Signal" (both BUY and SELL)
4. Choose desired option and customize message template
5. Uses TradingView placeholders: {{ticker}}, {{close}}, {{time}}, etc.
All alerts fire only on confirmed bar close (no repaint).
Q: What is Scalpel Mode and should I use it?
A: Scalpel Mode waits for healthy pullbacks within established trends before signaling entry. It reduces whipsaws and improves entry timing.
Recommended ON for:
• Swing traders (want precision entries on pullbacks)
• Day traders (willing to wait for better prices)
• Risk-averse traders (prefer fewer but higher-quality entries)
Recommended OFF for:
• Scalpers (need immediate entries, can't wait for pullbacks)
• Momentum traders (want to enter on breakout, not pullback)
• Aggressive traders (prefer more opportunities over precision)
Q: Why do some duration estimates show wider ranges than others?
A: Range width reflects historical trend variability:
• Narrow range: Similar historical trends had consistent durations (high confidence)
• Wide range: Similar historical trends had varying durations (lower confidence)
Wide ranges often occur:
• Early in analysis (fewer historical trends to learn from)
• In volatile/choppy markets (inconsistent trend behavior)
• On lower timeframes (more noise, less consistency)
The median and average still provide useful targets even when range is wide.
Q: Can I customize the dashboard position and appearance?
A: Yes! Dashboard settings include:
• Position: 9 options (Top/Middle/Bottom + Left/Center/Right)
• Text Size: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
• Show/Hide: Toggle entire dashboard on/off
Choose position that doesn't overlap important price action on your specific chart.
Q: Which timeframe should I trade on?
A: Depends on your trading style and time availability:
• 1-5 minute: Active scalping, requires constant monitoring
• 15m-1h: Day trading, check few times per session
• 4h-Daily: Swing trading, check once or twice daily
• Daily-Weekly: Position trading, check weekly
General principle: Higher timeframes produce:
• Fewer signals (less frequent)
• Higher quality setups (stronger confirmations)
• More reliable duration estimates (better statistical data)
• Less noise (clearer trends)
Start with Daily chart if new to trading. Move to lower timeframes as you gain experience.
Q: Does this work on all markets (stocks, crypto, forex)?
A: Yes, it works on all markets with trending characteristics:
Excellent for:
• Stocks (especially growth and momentum names)
• Crypto (BTC, ETH, major altcoins)
• Futures (indices, commodities)
• Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.)
Best results on:
• Trending markets (not range-bound)
• Liquid instruments (tight spreads, good fills)
• Volatile assets (clear trend development)
Less effective on:
• Range-bound/sideways markets
• Ultra-low volatility instruments
• Illiquid small-caps (use caution)
Configure Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) to match your instrument for best accuracy.
Q: How many signals should I expect per day/week?
A: Highly variable based on:
By Timeframe:
• 1-5 minute: 5-15 signals per session
• 15m-1h: 2-5 signals per day
• 4h-Daily: 2-5 signals per week
• Daily-Weekly: 1-2 signals per month
By Market Volatility:
• High volatility = more SuperTrend flips = more signals
• Low volatility = fewer flips = fewer signals
By Quality Filter:
• Higher threshold (60-70) = fewer but better signals
• Lower threshold (30-40) = more signals, lower quality
By Volume Momentum Filter:
• Enabled = Fewer signals (only volume-confirmed)
• Disabled = More signals (all SuperTrend flips)
Adjust quality threshold and filters to match your desired signal frequency.
Q: What's the difference between entry labels and info labels?
A:
Entry Labels (BUY/SELL):
• Your primary trading signals
• Based on SuperTrend flip + all confirmations (quality, volume, momentum)
• Include quality score and confirmation icons
• These are actionable entry points
Info Labels (Volume Spike):
• Additional market context
• Show volume events that may support or contradict trend
• 8-bar cooldown to prevent spam
• NOT necessarily entry points - contextual information only
Control separately: Can show entry labels without info labels (recommended for clean charts).
Q: Can I combine this with other indicators?
A: Absolutely! This works well with:
• RSI: For divergences and overbought/oversold conditions
• Support/Resistance: Confluence with key levels
• Fibonacci Retracements: Pullback targets in Scalpel Mode
• Price Action Patterns: Flags, pennants, cup-and-handle
• MACD: Additional momentum confirmation
• Bollinger Bands: Volatility context
This indicator provides trend direction and duration estimates - complement with other tools for entry refinement and additional confluence.
Q: Why did I get a low-quality signal? Can I filter them out?
A: Yes! Increase the Minimum Quality Score in settings.
If you're seeing signals with quality below your preference:
• Day Trading: Set minimum to 50
• Swing Trading: Set minimum to 60
• Position Trading: Set minimum to 70
Only signals meeting the threshold will appear. This reduces frequency but improves win-rate.
Q: How do I interpret the MTF Confluence count?
A: Shows how many of 6 timeframes agree with current trend:
• 6/6 aligned: Perfect agreement (extremely rare, highest confidence)
• 5/6 aligned: Very strong alignment (high confidence)
• 4/6 aligned: Good alignment (standard quality setup)
• 3/6 aligned: Moderate alignment (acceptable)
• 2/6 aligned: Weak alignment (caution)
• 1/6 aligned: Very weak (likely counter-trend)
Higher confluence typically correlates with longer, stronger trends. However, MTF analysis is optional - you can disable it and rely solely on quality scoring.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, but requires foundational knowledge:
You should understand:
• Basic trend-following concepts (higher highs, higher lows)
• Risk management principles (position sizing, stop losses)
• How to read candlestick charts
• What volume and volatility mean
Beginner-friendly features:
• Auto preset mode (zero configuration)
• Quality scoring (tells you signal strength)
• Dashboard tooltips (hover for explanations)
• duration analysis boxes (visual profit targets)
Recommended for beginners:
1. Start with "Auto" or "Swing Trading" preset on Daily chart
2. Use Standard Analysis Mode (not Advanced)
3. Set minimum quality to 60 (fewer but better signals)
4. Paper trade first for 2-4 weeks
5. Study methodology references (Minervini, O'Neil, Zanger)
Q: What is the Asset Type setting and why does it matter?
A: Asset Type (in Advanced analysis mode) adjusts duration estimates based on volatility characteristics:
• Small Cap: Explosive moves, extended trends (+30-40%)
• Biotech / Speculative: Parabolic potential, news-driven (+40%)
• Blue Chip / Large Cap: Baseline, steady trends (0% adjustment)
• Tech Growth: Momentum-driven, longer trends (+20%)
• Dividend / Value: Slower, grinding trends (-20%)
• Cyclical: Macro-driven, variable (±10%)
• Crypto / High Volatility: Parabolic potential (+30%)
Correct configuration improves Statistical accuracy by 15-20%. Using Blue Chip settings on a biotech stock may underestimate trend length (you'll exit too early).
Q: Can I backtest this indicator?
A: Yes! TradingView's Strategy Tester works with this indicator's signals.
To backtest:
1. Note the entry conditions (SuperTrend flip + quality threshold + filters)
2. Create a strategy script using same logic
3. Run Strategy Tester on historical data
Additionally, the indicator includes BUILT-IN duration estimate validation:
• System backtests its own duration estimates
• Shows accuracy metrics in dashboard and duration analysis boxes
• Helps assess reliability on your specific symbol/timeframe
Q: Why does Volume Momentum auto-disable in Scalping mode?
A: Scalping requires ultra-fast entries to catch quick moves. Volume Momentum filter adds friction by requiring volume confirmation before signaling, which can cause missed opportunities in rapid scalping.
Scalping preset is optimized for speed and frequency - the filter is counterproductive for that style. It remains enabled for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading presets where patience improves results.
You can manually enable it in Custom mode if desired.
Q: How much historical data do I need for accurate duration estimates?
A:
Minimum: 50-100 bars (indicator will function but duration estimates less reliable)
Recommended: 500+ bars (robust statistical database)
Optimal: 1000+ bars (maximum Statistical accuracy)
More history = more completed trends = better pattern matching = more accurate duration estimates.
New symbols or newly-switched timeframes will have lower Statistical accuracy initially. Allow 2-4 weeks for the system to build historical database.

ICT Sessions and Kill Zones
What They Are:
ICT Sessions: These are specific times during the trading day when market activity is expected to be higher, such as the London Open, New York Open, and the Asian session.
Kill Zones: These are specific time windows within these sessions where the probability of significant price movements is higher. For example, the New York AM Kill Zone is typically from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST.
How to Use Them:
Identify the Session: Determine which trading session you are in (London, New York, or Asian).
Focus on Kill Zones: Within that session, focus on the kill zones for potential trade setups. For instance, during the New York session, look for setups between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM EST.
Silver Bullets
What They Are:
Silver Bullets: These are specific, high-probability trade setups that occur within the kill zones. They are designed to be "one shot, one kill" trades, meaning they aim for precise and effective entries and exits.
How to Use Them:
Time-Based Setup: Look for these setups within the designated kill zones. For example, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the New York AM session .
Chart Analysis: Start with higher time frames like the 15-minute chart and then refine down to 5-minute and 1-minute charts to identify imbalances or specific patterns .
Macros
What They Are:
Macros: These are broader market conditions and trends that influence your trading decisions. They include understanding the overall market direction, seasonal tendencies, and the Commitment of Traders (COT) reports.
How to Use Them:
Understand Market Conditions: Be aware of the macroeconomic factors and market conditions that could affect price movements.
Seasonal Tendencies: Know the seasonal patterns that might influence the market direction.
COT Reports: Use the Commitment of Traders reports to understand the positioning of large traders and commercial hedgers .
Putting It All Together
Preparation: Understand the macro conditions and review the COT reports.
Session and Kill Zone: Identify the trading session and focus on the kill zones.
Silver Bullet Setup: Look for high-probability setups within the kill zones using refined chart analysis.
Execution: Execute the trade with precision, aiming for a "one shot, one kill" outcome.
By following these steps, you can effectively use ICT sessions, kill zones, silver bullets, and macros to enhance your trading strategy.

Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator [ApexLegion]Impulse Reactor RSI-SMA Trend Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
Design Rationale
Standard indicators frequently generate binary 'BUY' or 'SELL' signals without accounting for the broader market context. This often results in erratic "Flip-Flop" behavior, where signals are triggered indiscriminately regardless of the prevailing volatility regime.
Impulse Reactor was engineered to address this limitation by unifying two critical requirements: Quantitative Rigor and Execution Flexibility.
The Solution
Composite Analytical Framework This script is not a simple visual overlay of existing indicators. It is an algorithmic synthesis designed to function as a unified decision-making engine. The primary objective was to implement rigorous quantitative analysis (Volatility Normalization, Structural Filtering) directly within an alert-enabled framework. This architecture is designed to process signals through strict, multi-factor validation protocols before generating real-time notifications, allowing users to focus on structurally validated setups without manual monitoring.
How It Works
This is not a simple visual mashup. It utilizes a cross-validation algorithm where the Trend Structure acts as a gatekeeper for Momentum signals:
Logic over Lag: Unlike simple moving average crossovers, this script uses a 15-layer Gradient Ribbon to detect "Laminar Flow." If the ribbon is knotted (Compression), the system mathematically suppresses all signals.
Volatility Normalization: The core calculation adapts to ATR (Average True Range). This means the indicator automatically expands in volatile markets and contracts in quiet ones, maintaining accuracy without constant manual tweaking.
Adaptive Signal Thresholding: It incorporates an 'Anti-Greed' algorithm (Dynamic Thresholding) that automatically adjusts entry criteria based on trend duration. This logic aims to mitigate the risk of entering positions during periods of statistical trend exhaustion.
Why Use It?
Market State Decoding: The gradient Ribbon visualizes the underlying trend phase in real-time.
◦ Cyan/Blue Flow: Strong Bullish Trend (Laminar Flow).
◦ Magenta/Pink Flow: Strong Bearish Trend.
◦ Compressed/Knotted: When the ribbon lines are tightly squeezed or overlapping, it signals Consolidation. The system filters signals here to avoid chop.
Noise Reduction: The goal is not to catch every pivot, but to isolate high-confidence setups. The logic explicitly filters out minor fluctuations to help maintain position alignment with the broader trend.
⚖️ Chapter 1: System Architecture
Introduction: Composite Analytical Framework
System Overview
Impulse Reactor serves as a comprehensive technical analysis engine designed to synthesize three distinct market dimensions—Momentum, Volatility, and Trend Structure—into a unified decision-making framework. Unlike traditional methods that analyze these metrics in isolation, this system functions as a central processing unit that integrates disparate data streams to construct a coherent model of market behavior.
Operational Objective
The primary objective is to transition from single-dimensional signal generation to a multi-factor assessment model. By fusing data from the Impulse Core (Volatility), Gradient Oscillator (Momentum), and Structural Baseline (Trend), the system aims to filter out stochastic noise and identify high-probability trade setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
Market Microstructure Analysis: Limitations of Conventional Models
Extensive backtesting and quantitative analysis have identified three critical inefficiencies in standard oscillator-based strategies:
• Bounded Oscillator Limitations (The "Oscillation Trap"): Traditional indicators such as RSI or Stochastics are mathematically constrained between fixed values (0 to 100). In strong trending environments, these metrics often saturate in "overbought" or "oversold" zones. Consequently, traders relying on static thresholds frequently exit structurally valid positions prematurely or initiate counter-trend trades against prevailing momentum, resulting in suboptimal performance.
• Quantitative Blindness to Quality: Standard moving averages and trend indicators often fail to distinguish the qualitative nature of price movement. They treat low-volume drift and high-velocity expansion identically. This inability to account for "Volatility Quality" leads to delayed responsiveness during critical market events.
• Fractal Dissonance (Timeframe Disconnect): Financial markets exhibit fractal characteristics where trends on lower timeframes may contradict higher timeframe structures. Manual integration of multi-timeframe analysis increases cognitive load and susceptibility to human error, often resulting in conflicting biases at the point of execution.
Core Design Principles
To mitigate the aforementioned systemic inefficiencies, Impulse Reactor employs a modular architecture governed by three foundational principles:
Principle A:
Volatility Precursor Analysis Market mechanics demonstrate that volatility expansion often functions as a leading indicator for directional price movement. The system is engineered to detect "Volatility Deviation" — specifically, the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility baselines—prior to its manifestation in price action. This allows for entry timing aligned with the expansion phase of market volatility.
Principle B:
Momentum Density Visualization The system replaces singular momentum lines with a "Momentum Density" model utilizing a 15-layer Simple Moving Average (SMA) Ribbon.
• Concept: This visualization represents the aggregate strength and consistency of the trend.
• Application: A fully aligned and expanded ribbon indicates a robust trend structure ("Laminar Flow") capable of withstanding minor counter-trend noise, whereas a compressed ribbon signals consolidation or structural weakness.
Principle C:
Adaptive Confluence Protocols Signal validity is strictly governed by a multi-dimensional confluence logic. The system suppresses signal generation unless there is synchronized confirmation across all three analytical vectors:
1. Volatility: Confirmed expansion via the Impulse Core.
2. Momentum: Directional alignment via the Hybrid Oscillator.
3. Structure: Trend validation via the Baseline. This strict filtering mechanism significantly reduces false positives in non-trending (choppy) environments while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts.
🔍 Chapter 2: Core Modules & Algorithmic Logic
Module A: Impulse Core (Normalized Volatility Deviation)
Operational Logic The Impulse Core functions as a volatility-normalized momentum gauge rather than a standard oscillator. It is designed to identify "Volatility Contraction" (Squeeze) and "Volatility Expansion" phases by quantifying the divergence between short-term and long-term volatility states.
Volatility Z-Score Normalization
The formula implements a custom normalization algorithm. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on absolute price changes, this logic calculates the Z-Score of the Volatility Spread.
◦ Numerator: (atr_f - atr_s) captures the raw momentum of volatility expansion.
◦ Denominator: (std_f + 1e-6) standardizes this value against historical variance.
◦ Result: This allows the indicator scales consistently across assets (e.g., Bitcoin vs. Euro) without manual recalibration.
f_impulse() =>
atr_f = ta.atr(fastLen) // Fast Volatility Baseline
atr_s = ta.atr(slowLen) // Slow Volatility Baseline
std_f = ta.stdev(atr_f, devLen) // Volatility Standard Deviation
(atr_f - atr_s) / (std_f + 1e-6) // Normalized Differential Calculation
Algorithmic Framework
• Differential Calculation: The system computes the spread between a Fast Volatility Baseline (ATR-10) and a Slow Volatility Baseline (ATR-30).
• Normalization Protocol: To standardize consistency across diverse asset classes (e.g., Forex vs. Crypto), the raw differential is divided by the standard deviation of the volatility itself over a 30-period lookback.
• Signal Generation:
◦ Contraction (Squeeze): When the Fast ATR compresses below the Slow ATR, it registers a potential volatility buildup phase.
◦ Expansion (Release): A rapid divergence of the Fast ATR above the Slow ATR signals a confirmed volatility expansion, validating the strength of the move.
Module B: Gradient Oscillator (RSI-SMA Hybrid)
Design Rationale To mitigate the "noise" and "false reversal" signals common in single-line oscillators (like standard RSI), this module utilizes a 15-Layer Gradient Ribbon to visualize momentum density and persistence.
Technical Architecture
• Ribbon Array: The system generates 15 sequential Simple Moving Averages (SMA) applied to a volatility-adjusted RSI source. The length of each layer increases incrementally.
• State Analysis:
Momentum Alignment (Laminar Flow): When all 15 layers are expanded and parallel, it indicates a robust trend where buying/selling pressure is distributed evenly across multiple timeframes. This state helps filter out premature "overbought/oversold" signals.
• Consolidation (Compression): When the distance between the fastest layer (Layer 1) and the slowest layer (Layer 15) approaches zero or the layers intersect, the system identifies a "Non-Tradable Zone," preventing entries during choppy market conditions.
// Laminar Flow Validation
f_validate_trend() =>
// Calculate spread between Ribbon layers
ribbon_spread = ta.stdev(ribbon_array, 15)
// Only allow signals if Ribbon is expanded (Laminar Flow)
is_flowing = ribbon_spread > min_expansion_threshold
// If compressed (Knotted), force signal to false
is_flowing ? signal : na
Module C: Adaptive Signal Filtering (Behavioral Bias Mitigation)
This subsystem, operating as an algorithmic "Anti-Greed" Mechanism, addresses the statistical tendency for signal degradation following prolonged trends.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
• Win Streak Detection: The algorithm internally tracks the outcome of closed trade cycles.
• Sensitivity Multiplier: Upon detecting consecutive successful signals in the same direction, a Penalty_Factor is applied to the entry logic.
• Operational Impact: This effectively raises the Required_Slope threshold for subsequent signals. For example, after three consecutive bullish signals, the system requires a 30% steeper trend angle to validate a fourth entry. This enforces stricter discipline during extended trends to reduce the probability of entering at the point of trend exhaustion.
Anti-Greed Logic: Dynamic Threshold Calculation
f_adjust_threshold(base_slope, win_streak) =>
// Adds a 10% penalty to the difficulty for every consecutive win
penalty_factor = 0.10
risk_scaler = 1 + (win_streak * penalty_factor)
// Returns the new, harder-to-reach threshold
base_slope * risk_scaler
Module D: Trend Baseline (Triple-Smoothed Structure)
The Trend Baseline serves as the structural filter for all signals. It employs a Triple-Smoothed Hybrid Algorithm designed to balance lag reduction with noise filtration.
Smoothing Stages
1. Volatility Banding: Utilizes a SuperTrend-based calculation to establish the upper and lower boundaries of price action.
2. Weighted Filter: Applies a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to prioritize recent price data.
3. Exponential Smoothing: A final Exponential Moving Average (EMA) pass is applied to create a seamless baseline curve.
Functionality
This "Heavy" baseline resists minor intraday volatility spikes while remaining responsive to sustained structural shifts. A signal is only considered valid if the price action maintains structural integrity relative to this baseline
🚦 Chapter 3: Risk Management & Exit Protocols
Quantitative Risk Management (TP/SL & Trailing)
Foundational Architecture: Volatility-Adjusted Geometry Unlike strategies relying on static nominal values, Impulse Reactor establishes dynamic risk boundaries derived from quantitative volatility metrics. This design aligns trade invalidation levels mathematically with the current market regime.
• ATR-Based Dynamic Bracketing:
The protocol calculates Stop-Loss and Take-Profit levels by applying Fibonacci coefficients (Default: 0.786 for SL / 1.618 for TP) to the Average True Range (ATR).
◦ High Volatility Environments: The risk bands automatically expand to accommodate wider variance, preventing premature exits caused by standard market noise.
◦ Low Volatility Environments: The bands contract to tighten risk parameters, thereby dynamically adjusting the Risk-to-Reward (R:R) geometry.
• Close-Validation Protocol ("Soft Stop"):
Institutional algorithms frequently execute liquidity sweeps—driving prices briefly below key support levels to accumulate inventory.
◦ Mechanism: When the "Soft Stop" feature is enabled, the system filters out intraday volatility spikes. The stop-loss is conditional; execution is triggered only if the candle closes beyond the invalidation threshold.
◦ Strategic Advantage: This logic distinguishes between momentary price wicks and genuine structural breakdowns, preserving positions during transient volatility.
• Step-Function Trailing Mechanism:
To protect unrealized PnL while allowing for normal price breathing, a two-phase trailing methodology is employed:
◦ Phase 1 (Activation): The trailing function remains dormant until the price advances by a pre-defined percentage threshold.
◦ Phase 2 (Dynamic Floor): Once armed, the stop level creates a moving floor, adjusting relative to price action while maintaining a volatility-based (ATR) buffer to systematically protect unrealized PnL.
• Algorithmic Exit Protocols (Dynamic Liquidity Analysis)
◦ Rationale: Inefficiencies of Static Targets Static "Take Profit" levels often result in suboptimal exits. They compel traders to close positions based on arbitrary figures rather than evolving market structure, potentially capping upside during significant trends or retaining positions while the underlying trend structure deteriorates.
◦ Solution: Structural Integrity Assessment The system utilizes a Dynamic Liquidity Engine to continuously audit the validity of the position. Instead of targeting a specific price point, the algorithm evaluates whether the trend remains statistically robust.
Multi-Factor Exit Logic (The Tri-Vector System)
The Smart Exit protocol executes only when specific algorithmic invalidation criteria are met:
• 1. Momentum Exhaustion (Confluence Decay): The system monitors a 168-hour rolling average of the Confluence Score. A significant deviation below this historical baseline indicates momentum exhaustion, signaling that the driving force behind the trend has dissipated prior to a price reversal. This enables preemptive exits before a potential drawdown.
• 2. Statistical Over-Extension (Mean Reversion): Utilizing the core volatility logic, the system identifies instances where price deviates beyond 2.0 standard deviations from the mean. While the trend may be technically bullish, this statistical anomaly suggests a high probability of mean reversion (elastic snap-back), triggering a defensive exit to capitalize on peak valuation.
• 3. Oscillator Rejection (Immediate Pivot): To manage sudden V-shaped volatility, the system monitors RSI pivots. If a sharp "Pivot High" or divergence is detected, the protocol triggers an immediate "Peak Exit," bypassing standard trend filters to secure liquidity during high-velocity reversals.
🎨 Chapter 4: Visualization Guide
Gradient Oscillator Ribbon
The 15-layer SMA ribbon visualized via plot(r1...r15) represents the "Momentum Density" of the market.
• Visuals:
◦ Cyan/Blue Ribbon: Indicates Bullish Momentum.
◦ Pink/Magenta Ribbon: Indicates Bearish Momentum.
• Interpretation:
◦ Laminar Flow: When the ribbon expands widely and flows in parallel, it signifies a robust trend where momentum is distributed evenly across timeframes. This is the ideal state for trend-following.
◦ Compression (Consolidation): If the ribbon becomes narrow, twisted, or knotted, it indicates a "Non-Tradable Zone" where the market lacks a unified direction. Traders are advised to wait for clarity.
◦ Over-Extension: If the top layer crosses the Overbought (85) or Oversold (15) lines, it visually warns of potential market overheating.
Trend Baseline
The thick, color-changing line plotted via plot(baseline) represents the Structural Backbone of the market.
• Visuals: Changes color based on the trend direction (Blue for Bullish, Pink for Bearish).
• Interpretation:
Structural Filter: Long positions are statistically favored only when price action sustains above this baseline, while short positions are favored below it.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The baseline acts as a dynamic support level during uptrends and resistance during downtrends.
Entry Signals & Labels
Text labels ("Long Entry", "Short Entry") appear when the system detects high-probability setups grounded in quantitative confluence.
• Visuals: Labeled signals appear above/below specific candles.
• Interpretation:
These signals represent moments where Volatility (Expansion), Momentum (Alignment), and Structure (Trend) are synchronized.
Smart Exit: Labels such as "Smart Exit" or "Peak Exit" appear when the system detects momentum exhaustion or structural decay, prompting a defensive exit to preserve capital.
Dynamic TP/SL Boxes
The semi-transparent colored zones drawn via fill() represent the risk management geometry.
• Visuals: Colored boxes extending from the entry point to the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels.
• Function:
Volatility-Adjusted Geometry: Unlike static price targets, these boxes expand during high volatility (to prevent wicks from stopping you out) and contract during low volatility (to optimize Risk-to-Reward ratios).
SAR + MACD Glow
Small glowing shapes appearing above or below candles.
• Visuals: Triangle or circle glows near the price bars.
• Interpretation:
This visual indicates a secondary confirmation where Parabolic SAR and MACD align with the main trend direction. It serves as an additional confluence factor to increase confidence in the trade setup.
Support/Resistance Table
A small table located at the bottom-right of the chart.
• Function: Automatically identifies and displays recent Pivot Highs (Resistance) and Pivot Lows (Support).
• Interpretation: These levels can be used as potential targets for Take Profit or invalidation points for manual Stop Loss adjustments.
🖥️ Chapter 5: Dashboard & Operational Guide
Integrated Analytics Panel (Dashboard Overview)
To facilitate rapid decision-making without manual calculation, the system aggregates critical market dimensions into a unified "Heads-Up Display" (HUD). This panel monitors real-time metrics across multiple timeframes and analytical vectors.
A. Intermediate Structure (12H Trend)
• Function: Anchors the intraday analysis to the broader market structure using a 12-hour rolling window.
• Interpretation:
◦ Bullish (> +0.5%): Indicates a positive structural bias. Long setups align with the macro flow.
◦ Bearish (< -0.5%): Indicates structural weakness. Short setups are statistically favored.
◦ Neutral: Represents a ranging environment where the Confluence Score becomes the primary weighting factor.
B. Composite Confluence Score (Signal Confidence)
• Definition: A probability metric derived from the synchronization of Volatility (Impulse Core), Momentum (Ribbon), and Trend (Baseline).
• Grading Scale:
Strong Buy/Sell (> 7.0 / < 3.0): Indicates full alignment across all three vectors. Represents a "Prime Setup" eligible for standard position sizing.
Buy/Sell (5.0–7.0 / 3.0–5.0): Indicates a valid trend but with moderate volatility confirmation.
Neutral: Signals conflicting data (e.g., Bullish Momentum vs. Bearish Structure). Trading is not recommended ("No-Trade Zone").
C. Statistical Deviation Status (Mean Reversion)
• Logic: Utilizes Bollinger Band deviation principles to quantify how far price has stretched from the statistical mean (20 SMA).
• Alert States:
Over-Extended (> 2.0 SD): Warning that price is statistically likely to revert to the mean (Elastic Snap-back), even if the trend remains technically valid. New entries are discouraged in this zone.
Normal: Price is within standard distribution limits, suitable for trend-following entries.
D. Volatility Regime Classification
• Metric: Compares current ATR against a 100-period historical baseline to categorize the market state.
• Regimes:
Low Volatility (Lvl < 1.0): Market Compression. Often precedes volatility expansion events.
Mid Volatility (Lvl 1.0 - 1.5): Standard operating environment.
High Volatility (Lvl > 1.5): Elevated market stress. Risk parameters should be adjusted (e.g., reduced position size) to account for increased variance.
E. Performance Telemetry
• Function: Displays the historical reliability of the Trend Baseline for the current asset and timeframe.
• Operational Threshold: If the displayed Win Rate falls below 40%, it suggests the current market behavior is incoherent (choppy) and does not respect trend logic. In such cases, switching assets or timeframes is recommended.
Operational Protocols & Signal Decoding
Visual Interpretation Standards
• Laminar Flow (Trade Confirmation): A valid trend is visually confirmed when the 15-layer SMA Ribbon is fully expanded and parallel. This indicates distributed momentum across timeframes.
• Consolidation (No-Trade): If the ribbon appears twisted, knotted, or compressed, the market lacks a unified directional vector.
• Baseline Interaction: The Triple-Smoothed Baseline acts as a dynamic support/resistance filter. Long positions remain valid only while price sustains above this structure.
System Calibration (Settings)
• Adaptive Signal Filtering (Prev. Anti-Greed): Enabled by default. This logic automatically raises the required trend slope threshold following consecutive wins to mitigate behavioral bias.
• Impulse Sensitivity: Controls the reactivity of the Volatility Core. Higher settings capture faster moves but may introduce more noise.
