Crypto Scannner for Traffic Lights StrategyI allways try to make trading easier. Developing Scripts for a quick backtest and improvement of a strategy, getting alerts for entry and exit a position. Loading data to a spreadsheet is also important and takes time.
In this case finding good parameters in different markets or assets to enter in a position, is a bit exhausting. It is something you have to do everyday, and sometimes in different moments of the day.
So I manage to develop a Screener, to take a quick look at specific hours, and tell if I have a buy or sell condition in an specific asset. Obviously this is not an alert to make a trade instantaneusly, but this help you filter a lot of information in matters of seconds. Then open those specific charts and make a better analisys.
A few weeks ago, I published a scrpipt called "Traffic Lights Strategy", that uses 4 emas to get a buy or a sell condition.
It is easy to understand and use, but if you don´t want to missed some opportunities, and don't want to be look at the screen in all the time looking for them, I have here a simple solution.
This script works plotting 2 labels. The first one plots all the assets in which the condition is true (fastema > medema > slowema > filterema or fastema < medema < slowema < filterema)
The second one plots the assets were the condition is true only if happened up to 5 candles back, so you can be in time to enter a trade.
You can take the script and customize it for a different strategy or assets. I coded like this because I backtested this strategy in this specific assets, and statistics suggest that it might be profitable.
I hope this works for you. In other time I'll try to code a script for the others strategies I published.

ZigZag Chart with SupertrendHello All,
This script creates Zigzag Chart by using Zigzag waves, so it's timeless chart meaning that no time dependency on X-axis. Optionally it can calculate & show Zigzag Supertrend or Simple Moving Average. Also it can change bar colors of the main chart by trend direction of Zigzag Supertrend.
As seen below, each zigzag wave is a candle on Zigzag chart:
You have a few options and using these options you can find best settings for the securities/timeframes.
You can change Zigzag period, if you change Zigzag Period then all zigzag and the chart is recalculated/reconstructed.
You have option to show Zigzag Supertrend or Zigzag Moving Average, the options you have;
- You can change ATR Length and ATR multiplier for supertrend
- You can change Length for Simple Moving Average
You can change Zigzag candle & wick colors using options. Also you have option to change bar colors according to Zigzag Supertrend direction.
As it's timeless chart, below you can see how/when bar colors and Zigzag Supertrend change:
You can see Simple Moving Average of the Zigzag Candles:
You can play with ATR length and multiplier to find best supertrend:
You can play with the candle & wick colors:
Enjoy!
On Balance VolumeEnhanced the original OBV (On Balance Volume) indicator:
- Draw max lines of OBV in the last 30 candles so that we can notice the trend, as well as divergences easier.
- If you use fiat as base currency (USDT in cryptocurrency for example), we can display the OBV in fiat, so that we can compare total trading volume across a list of symbols to find healthy symbols to trade easier.
Adjustable MA & Alternating Extremities [LuxAlgo]Returns a moving average allowing the user to control the amount of lag as well as the amplitude of its overshoots thanks to a parametric kernel. The indicator displays alternating extremities and aims to provide potential points where price might reverse.
Due to user requests, we added the option to display the moving average as candles instead of a solid line.
Settings
Length: MA period, refers to the number of most recent data points to use for its calculation.
Mult: Multiplicative factor for each extremity.
As Smoothed Candles: Allows the user to show the MA as a series of candles instead of a solid line.
Show Alternating Extremities : Determines whether to display the alternating extremities or not.
Lag: Controls the amount of lag of the MA, with higher values returning a MA with more lag.
Overshoot: Controls the amplitude of the overshoots returned by the MA, with higher values increasing the amplitude of the overshoots.
Usage
Moving averages using parametric kernels allows users to have more control over characteristics such as lag or smoothness; this can greatly benefit the analyst. A moving average with reduced lag can be used as a leading moving average in a MA crossover system, while lag will benefit moving averages used as slow MA in a crossover system.
Increasing 'Lag' will increase smoothness while increasing 'overshoot' will reduce lag.
The following indicator puts more emphasis on its alternating extremities, an upper extremity will be shown once the high price crosses the upper extremity, while a low extremity will be shown once the low price crosses the lower extremity. These can be interpreted like extremities of a band indicator.
The MA using a length value of 200 with a multiplicative factor of 1.
In general, extremities will effectively return points where price might potentially bounce in ranging markets while closing prices under trending markets will often be found above an upper extremity and under a lower extremity.
Reducing the lag of the moving average allows the user to obtain a more timely estimate of the underlying trend in the price, with a better fit overall. This allows the user to obtain potentially pertinent extremities where price might reverse upon a break, even under trending markets.
In the above chart, the price initially breaks the upper extremity, however, we can observe that the upper extremity eventually reaches back the price, goes above it, provides a resistance, and effectively indicates a reversal.
Users can plot candles from the moving average, these are fairly similar to heikin-ashi candles in the sense that CandleOpen(t) ≠ CandleClose(t-1) , each point of the candle is calculated as follows for our indicator:
Open = Average between MA(t-1) and MA(t-2)
High = MA using the high price as input
Low = MA using the low price as input
Close = MA using the closing price as input
Details
Lag is defined as the effect of moving averages to reflect past price variations instead of new ones, lag can be observed by the user and is the main cause of false signals. Lag is proportional to the degree of filtering returned by the moving average.
Overshooting is a common effect encountered in non-lagging moving averages, and is defined as the tendency of a moving average to exceed a maximum level (or minimum level, which can be defined as undershooting )
MA and rolling maximum/minimum, both using a length of 50 bars. While we can think of lag as a cost of smoothness, we can think of overshooting as a cost for reduced lag on some occasions.
Explaining the kernel design behind our moving average requires understanding of the logic behind lag reduction in moving averages. This can prove to be complex for non informed users, but let's just focus on the simpler part; moving averages can be defined as a weighted sum between past prices and a set of coefficients (kernel).
MA(t) = b(0)C(t) + b(1)C(t-1) + b(2)C(t-2) + ... + b(n-1)C(t-n-1)
Where n is the period of the moving average. Lag is (non optimally) reduced by "underweighting" past prices - that is multiplying them by negative numbers.
The kernel used in our moving average is based on a modified sinewave. A weighted sum making use of a sinewave as a kernel would return an oscillator centered at 0. We can divide this sinewave by an increasing linear function in order to obtain a kernel allowing us to obtain a low lag moving average instead of a centered oscillator. This is the main idea in the design of the kernel used by our moving average.
The kernel equation of our moving average is:
sin(2πx^α)(1 - x^β)
With 1>x>0 , and where α controls the lag, while β controls the overshoot amplitude.
Using this equation we can obtain the following kernels:
Here only α is changed, while β is equal to 1. Values to the left would represent the coefficients for the most recent prices. Notice how the most significant coefficients are given to the oldest prices in the case where α increases.
Higher overshoot would require more negative values, this is controlled by β
Here only β is changed, while α is equal to 1. Notice how higher values return lower negative coefficients. This effectively increases the overshoots amplitude in our moving average. We can decrease α in order for these negative coefficients to underweight more recent values.
Using α = 0 allows us to simplify the kernel equation to:
1 - x^β
Using this kernel we can obtain more classical moving averages, this can be seen from the following results:
Using β = 1 allows us to obtain a linearly decreasing kernel (the one of a WMA), while increasing allows the kernel to converge toward a rectangular kernel (the one of SMA).

Relative Strength 3D Indicator [CC]This is a custom indicator of mine loosely based on the work by James Garofallou (Stocks and Commodities Sep 2020 pg 14) and this is meant for medium to long term trend confirmations. The idea behind this indicator is to capture 3 different dimensions of trend strength. The first dimension captures the overall strength of the underlying stock vs the market (in this case the S&P 500). The second dimension captures the overall trend strength by assigning a scoring system so when all faster moving averages are stronger than slower moving averages then it gets the max points. The final dimension is the strength of the overall strength of everything so far. Buy when the indicator line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Natural Directional Index [CC]The Natural Directional Index was created by Jim Sloman and this is another indicator that I'm publishing from the collection of Ocean indicators. I want to make sure his legacy is covered by as many eyes as possible. This is his version of the directional index indicator but he uses his weighting method to use the square root of time and you can see that the signals are very smooth. Big thanks of course to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for helping me get the full source code and files for all of his work. This indicator captures the current trend and I have used my strong buy and sell signals to let you know the strength of the current trend. Darker colors are for strong signals and lighter colors are for normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Natural Stochastic Indicator [CC]The Natural Stochastic Indicator was created by Jim Sloman and this is another indicator from his Ocean series which I will eventually publish all of them. Big thanks to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for giving me all of the source code in order to publish Jim's life work. This is another momentum indicator but unlike a traditional stochastic indicator, this one doesn't use overbought and oversold levels. Instead it becomes a sell signal when the indicator starts getting lower and vice versa. This takes the classic approach to a stochastic and combines it with the time factor from Jim's Ocean Theory to create this new indicator. I have included strong buy and sell signals as darker colors and normal buy and sell signals as lighter colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers AutoCorrelation Indicator [CC]The AutoCorrelation Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cycle Analytics pgs 94-98) and this can be viewed as both a momentum indicator and a trend indicator. This was his basis for several other indicators that he created which I will be publishing soon but essentially as this indicator goes up then the stock is in an uptrend and also has upward momentum. You will notice that this indicator starts to go down even during an uptrend showing that the underlying trend is going to have an upcoming reversal. He also warns that the halfway mark is a possible reversal point so keep an eye out for that.
Generally speaking a good signal is to enter a long position when the indicator is under the midline and is starting to go up (or when the line is green) and to exit the position when the indicator goes over the midline. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors mean normal signals.

and there are other options for coloring and POC line style
Enjoy!
Ultimate Moving Average [CC+RedK]The Ultimate Moving Average was created by myself and @RedKTrader and I can proudly say that this is the holy grail of moving averages. Not only does this moving average react to the current price trends like a normal moving average but we have also included the ability to react to volume, momentum, and volatility. The only thing this moving average can't do is wash your car.
The Ultimate Moving Average doesn't even use a set length so it is fully adaptable to any type of market whether it is choppy or trending. It tightens during volatile markets and loosens during choppy markets. I have included 3 of the main moving averages of a fixed length of 20 days to show you just how much better our moving average is.
The overall concept of this moving average was to fully adapt to any and all changes of the underlying stock. We used my Variable Power Weighted Moving Average as a base and changed the script to adapt to momentum instead. The idea behind this was when momentum reaches an extreme in either direction we tighten the moving average to be able to react accordingly. We then used the idea behind my Variable Length Moving Average to be able to react to volatility and make the length itself into a separate variable.
All of this work combined to create the most reactive moving average out there and I guarantee you will be using this in your daily trading! Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish.
Natural Moving Average [CC]The Natural Moving Average was created by Jim Sloman (Ocean Theory pgs 63-70) and this is the one of the best moving averages you will find! This is one of the most adaptive moving averages that I have ever seen that accounts for all types of volatility. I have included a default value of 40 for the length so you can see just how close this moving average sticks to the underlying price movements. Feel free to try out your own lengths to see what you like best. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors mean strong signals and lighter colors mean normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Cup FinderHello All,
This script finds the Cups and you can use it while analysing the symbols. it creates circle and channel for the potential Cups and checks the number of bars included by the channel, if included bars is equal or greater than the value you set then it shows the cup.
The Options:
"Number for Bars to search" : Maximum length of a Cup
"Channel Width of the Cup" : Tate by the channel width of highest/lowest levels in last 300 bars, by default it's 5%
"Check for Breakout" : if there is Cup then it checks Close or High/Low is used a source for breaokuts, usuful while cheking historical bars
"Contained Bar Rate %" : after channel is created the script checks number of bars included by the channel of the Cup, you can set rate of included bars by this option
"S how Channels of Cups ": if you enable this option then you can see the channels around the Cups and set it as you wish
and there are some other options for labeling/removing old Cups and for coloring
Here you can see how channel looks like:
Cup with different colors:
P.S. This is an experimental work and sorry for no explanation in the script.
in the future if I have time I will try to write a script for Cup&Handle
This script is also an example to calculate and draw circles :)
Enjoy!

Breakout FinderHelo All,
I got many requests for a Breakout script and here it's. This script searches the breakouts/breakdowns and draw square if there is one.
The options:
"Period" is used to find Pivot Points
"Max Breakout Length" is the maximum length to search breakouts
"Threshold Rate %" is channel width of the breakout area. calculated using highest/lowest of last 300 bars.
"Minimum Number of Tests" is the minimum number of tests that the Price tried to break the S/R level
and some options for coloring and linestyle
Lets see some examples:
in this example "Minimum Number of Tests" is 2 so the Price must have tested to break resistance area 2 times and then it breaks it as seen in the screenshot:
in following example Threshold rate is %10, so the channel width is very big:
as you can see in followinf screenshot you can choose different colors and line styles:
Alerts added ;)
Enjoy!

Relative Difference Of Squares Oscillator [CC]The Relative Difference Of Squares Oscillator was created by Marco Alves (Stocks and Commodities Aug 2020 pg 10) and this is a heavily customized version of his indicator that works for single stocks instead of the entire market. I have included extra buy and sell signals to account for strong signals vs normal signals based on some user feedback I got. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. Keep in mind that this is a lagging indicator so good for trend confirmation.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers NonLinear Filter [CC]The NonLinear Filter was created by John Ehlers and this one of his more unknown filters that work very well as a trendline and moving average. This is one of my favorites along with the instantenous trendlines that he created. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish scripts for!
Indicator PanelHello All,
This script shows Indicator panel in a Table. Table.new() is a new feature and released today! Thanks a lot to Pine Team to add this new great feature! This new feature is a game changer!
The script shows indicator values for each symbol and changes background color of each cell by using current and last values of the indicators for each symbol. if current value is greater than last value then backgroung color is green, if lower than last value then red, if they are equals then gray.
You can choose the indicators to display. Number of columns in the table is dynamic and is changed by number of the indicators.
You can choose 5 different Symbols, 6 Indicators and 2 Simple or Exponential Moving averages, you can set type of moving averages and the lengths. You can also set the lengths for each Indicators.
Indicators:
- RSI
- MACD ( MACD and Signal and Histogram )
- DMI ( +DI and -DI + and ADX )
- CCI
- MFI
- Momentum
- MA with Length 50 (length can be set)
- MA with Length 200 (length can be set)
In this example RSI, MACD and MA 200 were chosen, you can see how table size changes dynamically:
Enjoy!
Gann HiLo Activator [CC]The HiLo Activator was created by W.D. Gann and I was surprised to not see more of his technical indicators on here. I will start adding more of his indicators on here if I get more interest. This is the original version of the indicator that performs like a trailing stop that also works well as a trend line. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you want me to publish!
LTB Zigzag CirclesHello All,
Today I am here with a new idea and script, " LTB Zigzag Circles ". The idea is to create Circles using last 2 zigzag waves and to catch the breakouts earlier than horizontal lines. if a circle is broken then the script shows entry for Long/Short positions. and if broken circle reappears again then the position is closed. You can change Zigzag period as you wish and see the different results.
Here you can see how the script calculates and draws the Circles:
Below you can see how the script draws part of the circle on each bar:
Optionally the script can show levels:
P.S. I haven't tested it as a strategy, Result and Performance may change by Zigzag period, you need to find best Zigzag period according to your strategy. By the way, my Zigzag Circles idea can be improved, if you have any recommendation let me know please ;)
Enjoy!
Trend Persistence Rate Indicator [CC]The Trend Persistence Rate Indicator was created by Richard Poster (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2021 pg 12) and this indicator is a good trend strength indicator similar to ADX. A good strategy with this indicator according to the author is to combine this with a moving average crossover strategy and a volatility indicator. Buy when the price crosses over the moving average and when the volatility and this indicator are over a selected minimum. I think 30-40 as a minimum for this indicator works well. Exit that position when this indicator peaks and starts to go down and it should be very profitable for you. I have included general buy and sell signals with this indicator as well.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers FM Demodulator Indicator [CC]The FM Demodulator Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities May 2021 pg 14) and this indicator was created to accurately time any price variations which I think it does a great job. It is smoothed by default with his super smoother but feel free to substitute your own and try different combos. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
