WPR Volume Candle [Atareum]AWPRVC (Atareum WPR Volume Candles) is clearly an awesome indicator produced by AtareumFX that is based on William’s Percent Range concepts by combination with volume. This is a new approach of volume candles that is combined with R% concepts and creates such a powerful tool to trace the market and assists traders to make better decisions surly and so much accurate. You can find this new indicator more useful because it has all benefits and advantages of William’s R% and cover its disadvantages. Also it is more powerful because of using volume in its calculations and generate a new candles which is more reliable and trustworthy.
Concept:
Using William’s Percent leading periods and calculations on redesigning new candles in combination with volume, that makes unique reform candles, but these new candles with their new cloud system clearly response to any reasonable price movement with so much information.
As you know if use R% there are some misleading fake signals generate by oscillator, also it could not show any sign of price moving trend which is almost confusing for beginners or even a pro trader! And finally this oscillator is so sensitive to price change that is so creepy to use for most of traders.
This new AWPRVC solve the problem and make all of them handy and useful for you.
The cloud system which is designed in AWPRVC shows the price trend moving from Bearish Zone (-100 to -50 percent) to Bullish Zone (-50 to 0 percent). You can trust the lead moving forward of the clouds in two separate Top and Bottom (Bull and Bear) lines which solely determine the trend and power of price moving. When clouds are close to each other means we continue the trend and when they get far away from each other means we will face powerful trend in near future. If they are in Bearish Zone we continue the selling pressure and vice versa. Following picture shows good sample of Long and Short positions in compare with so many fake signals generated on original R%.
Besides the cloud system of AWPRVC which is clearly show the price trend and it is completely enough for being sure about price moving trend, you can use moving average which is designated in it to confirm the price trend, also.
Also you can see this new AWPRVC candle by using volume within its conformation, make reasonable price candles which is no so sensitive and so creepy and make your decisions come true in peace and clear sense of market moves. You can see following picture which is showing although the real price candles are so unclear and nonsense of making decision but the AWPRVC candles lead you to make true and trustable position.
As you see this new combination of Williams R% oscillator with volume and also generating a perfect new cloud system will clearly help traders even pro to trust the signals and understand whole market movement better and all of original problems of R% solved and even make a most powerful, trustworthy and useful new indicator.
Parameters:
Section 1 : Candle colour setting for flourishing just as you desire !
Section 2 : Defining Periods of R% and source of candle data in combination with determining the smoothing type of moving averages and signal period.
Section 3 : Select using Standard candles alongside with redesigned cloud calculation type and three additional moving averages which can plot on each newly generated candles and standard candles on a chart with the type mode defined in the previous section.
Note: if you want to omit any or all of these moving averages, you can use 0 in period, instead of selecting "None" in the plot moving option!
Usage :
Overall:
Regardless of the additional moving averages which will lead to so many situations of market according to their types and designs, that is four different period for new redesign AWPRVC and three period for standard chart. You can easily select periods and type for these moving averages. Also, do not forget that signal moving averages is shown only on AWPRVC chart and have two different colour for upward and downward trends. Other moving averages are plot by just one single colour.
Cloud levels are so important because AWPRVC candles show respect to them and when they break the clouds upward or downward it is surly beginning of a trend. Do not forget we have 5 levels for tracing new AWPRVC candles move as follows : Ready for Short \ Long, Surly Short \ Long and Turn Trend which is in middle range of movement percent. Each level clearly shows what it means by its name.
Support and Resistance:
Any consolidation of AWPRVC candles in Ready for Short or Long Zones means the support or resistance level due to its nature, but important thing is how long the candles lasts in there or how many times repeated in the same level in AWPRVC chart zone in future.
For plotting the support or resistance you should trace range of AWPRVC candles consolidated and plot zone in standard chart candles just like following picture.
Divergence:
When standard price candles move downward but we see upward trend in clouds of AWPRVC candles that means we should face Bullish Trend because of the divergence and vice versa. You can see perfect example in following picture.
Signal:
Alert of Long :
Bullish candle cross both cloud down and up level simultaneously.
Confirmed Long :
AWPRVC candles cross up turn trend level and pullback to cloud up level.
Take profit of Long:
Any cross down of the AWPRVC candles from surly short level of chart.
Alert of Short :
Bearish candle cross both cloud up and down level simultaneously.
Confirmed Short :
AWPRVC candles cross down turn trend level and pullback to cloud down level.
Take profit of Short:
Any cross up of the AWPRVC candles from surly long level of chart.
Notes:
Use moving averages cross of standard chart candles as lead to be in positions more as they are good representative of trend.
As long as AWPRVC candles or Cloud levels are in Bullish Zone, you can stay in Long positions.
Cloud level thickness means the power of trend and can be use as confirmation of powerful trend, so when cloud levels tight or going to cross each other it means the trend is going to be reversed.
It is the result of many years of experience in markets and there are so many details about this AWPRVC chart which I am in the experiment phase to publish in the future, so please help me with your ideas and do not hesitate to comment and inform me any suggestions or criticism.
Volatilität
Theoretical price by volumeThis code is used to calculate a theoretical price range based on volume and price change and display it on the chart. Specifically, it calculates the “theoretical price volatility” based on price changes and volume, from which the upper and lower price limits are derived.
The price volatility is calculated by dividing the price change by the volume as the change unit volume.
Based on this volatility, we calculate the theoretical variation relative to the current price (“Theoretical Variance Difference”).
Based on the results, **Theoretical High Price (p_price) and Theoretical Low Price (m_price)** are calculated.
The chart displays the upper and lower bounds of these theoretical prices in color, and also calculates their mean and standard deviation (in the form of a Bollinger band) and plots them.
The background color on the chart indicates whether the price is within the theoretical price range, and at the same time, the mean and standard deviation of the theoretical prices are used to visualize price movements in more detail.
This indicator helps traders understand the impact of volume on price movements and helps them determine if prices are staying within the theoretical range or if there are unusual movements.
Burst PowerThe Burst Power indicator is to be used for Indian markets where most stocks have a maximum price band limit of 20%.
This indicator is intended to identify stocks with high potential for significant price movements. By analysing historical price action over a user-defined lookback period, it calculates a Burst Power score that reflects the stock's propensity for rapid and substantial moves. This can be helpful for stock selection in strategies involving momentum bursts, swing trading, or identifying stocks with explosive potential.
Key Components
____________________
Significant Move Counts:
5% Moves: Counts the number of days within the lookback period where the stock had a positive close-to-close move between 5% and 10%.
10% Moves: Counts the number of days with a positive close-to-close move between 10% and 19%.
19% Moves: Counts the number of days with a positive close-to-close move of 19% or more.
Maximum Price Move (%):
Identifies the largest positive close-to-close percentage move within the lookback period, along with the date it occurred.
Burst Power Score:
A composite score calculated using the counts of significant moves: Burst Power =(Count5%/5) +(Count10%/2) + (Count19%/0.5)
The score is then rounded to the nearest whole number.
A higher Burst Power score indicates a higher frequency of significant price bursts.
Visual Indicators:
Table Display: Presents all the calculated data in a customisable table on the chart.
Markers on Chart: Plots markers on the chart where significant moves occurred, aiding visual analysis.
Using the Lookback Period
____________________________
The lookback period determines how much historical data the indicator analyses. Users can select from predefined options:
3 Months
6 Months
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
A shorter lookback period focuses on recent price action, which may be more relevant for short-term trading strategies. A longer lookback period provides a broader historical context, useful for identifying long-term patterns and behaviors.
Interpreting the Burst Power Score
__________________________________
High Burst Power Score (≥15):
Indicates the stock frequently experiences significant price moves.
Suitable for traders seeking quick momentum bursts and swing trading opportunities.
Stocks with high scores may be more volatile but offer potential for rapid gains.
Moderate Burst Power Score (10 to 14):
Suggests occasional significant price movements.
May suit traders looking for a balance between volatility and stability.
Low Burst Power Score (<10):
Reflects fewer significant price bursts.
Stocks are more likely to exhibit longer, sustainable, but slower price trends.
May be preferred by traders focusing on steady growth or longer-term investments.
Note: Trading involves uncertainties, and the Burst Power score should be considered as one of many factors in a comprehensive trading strategy. It is essential to incorporate broader market analysis and risk management practices.
Customisation Options
_________________________
The indicator offers several customisation settings to tailor the display and functionality to individual preferences:
Display Mode:
Full Mode: Shows the detailed table with all components, including significant move counts, maximum price move, and the Burst Power score.
Mini Mode: Displays only the Burst Power score and its corresponding indicator (green, orange, or red circle).
Show Latest Date Column:
Toggle the display of the "Latest Date" column in the table, which shows the most recent occurrence of each significant move category.
Theme (Dark Mode):
Switch between Dark Mode and Light Mode for better visual integration with your chart's color scheme.
Table Position and Size:
Position: Place the table at various locations on the chart (top, middle, bottom; left, center, right).
Size: Adjust the table's text size (tiny, small, normal, large, huge, auto) for optimal readability.
Header Size: Customise the font size of the table headers (Small, Medium, Large).
Color Settings:
Disable Colors in Table: Option to display the table without background colors, which can be useful for printing or if colors are distracting.
Bullish Closing Filter:
Another customisation here is to count a move only when the closing for the day is strong. For this, we have an additional filter to see if close is within the chosen % of the range of the day. Closing within the top 1/3, for instance, indicates a way more bullish day tha, say, closing within the bottom 25%.
Move Markers on chart:
The indicator also marks out days with significant moves. You can choose to hide or show the markers on the candles/bars.
Practical Applications
________________________
Momentum Trading: High Burst Power scores can help identify stocks that are likely to experience rapid price movements, suitable for momentum traders.
Swing Trading: Traders looking for short- to medium-term opportunities may focus on stocks with moderate to high Burst Power scores.
Positional Trading: Lower Burst Power scores may indicate steadier stocks that are less prone to volatility, aligning with long-term investment strategies.
Risk Management: Understanding a stock's propensity for significant moves can aid in setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Disclaimer: Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. The Burst Power indicator is intended for educational purposes and should not be construed as financial advice. Always conduct thorough research and consult with a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.

Options Series - MTF_Parabolic_SAR
⭐ Purpose of the Script
This script, titled "Options Series - MTF_Parabolic_SAR," is designed for analyzing price trends using the Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator across multiple timeframes (MTF). It dynamically highlights bullish and bearish conditions, helping traders identify trends with improved accuracy. The script uses the Parabolic SAR across three customizable timeframes (default: 5, 15, and 60 minutes) to gauge the market sentiment.
⭐ Key Features and Insights:
Multi-Timeframe Parabolic SAR: The script calculates the Parabolic SAR for three different timeframes ( input_tf_1 , input_tf_2 , and input_tf_3 ). Traders can configure these timeframes to match their trading style (e.g., intraday, swing).
The SAR plots adapt to the selected timeframe, helping traders see different perspectives of price movement, such as short-term and long-term trends.
Bullish and Bearish Conditions: The script determines bullish and bearish conditions by comparing the close price against the Parabolic SAR in each timeframe.
If at least one timeframe indicates a bullish condition (close price above SAR), the bars are colored green . Conversely, if one timeframe signals bearish conditions (close below SAR), the bars turn red .
This provides an at-a-glance view of the price trend across multiple timeframes, offering insights into the market's strength and direction.
Visual Enhancements: Bar Coloring: Bars are visually enhanced with a color scheme: green for bullish , red for bearish , and gray for neutral conditions. This makes it easy to spot market trends and reversals directly on the chart. Candle Plotting: The current candle is plotted with the corresponding color and labeled with the SAR values for each timeframe. This aids traders in tracking real-time price action.
Labeling of SAR Values: The script displays SAR values for each timeframe as floating labels next to the chart. These labels contain the timeframe and the exact SAR value, making it easier to reference without cluttering the chart.
⭐ Trading Advantages: Customizable and Adaptive: The customizable timeframes and SAR settings allow traders to adapt the script to various market conditions and their specific trading strategies. This flexibility provides a powerful tool for identifying entry and exit points. Multi-Timeframe Insights: By considering multiple timeframes, the script offers a comprehensive market view, making it easier to confirm strong trends and avoid false signals.
⭐ How It Helps Traders: Trend Identification: By visualizing Parabolic SAR across multiple timeframes, traders can quickly assess trend strength and direction. Reversal Detection: The script's color changes (green to red or vice versa) signal potential trend reversals, offering critical information for managing trades and reducing risk.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script provides traders with a multi-timeframe analysis tool for identifying trends and potential reversals using the Parabolic SAR. By offering customizable timeframes, clear visual cues, and SAR value labeling, it simplifies decision-making and enhances market insights.
XAU/USD Strategy with Correct ADX and Bollinger Bands Fill1. *Indicators Used*:
- *Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)*: Two EMAs (20-period and 50-period) are used to identify the trend direction and potential entry points based on crossovers.
- *Relative Strength Index (RSI)*: A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It identifies overbought and oversold conditions.
- *Bollinger Bands*: These consist of a middle line (simple moving average) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the middle). They help to identify price volatility and potential reversal points.
- *Average Directional Index (ADX)*: This indicator quantifies trend strength. It's derived from the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and helps confirm the presence of a strong trend.
- *Average True Range (ATR)*: Used to calculate position size based on volatility, ensuring that trades align with the trader's risk tolerance.
2. *Entry Conditions*:
- *Long Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bullish trend).
- The RSI is below the oversold level (30), suggesting the asset may be undervalued.
- The price is below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above a specified threshold (25), confirming that there is sufficient trend strength.
- *Short Entry*:
- The 20 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA (indicating a potential bearish trend).
- The RSI is above the overbought level (70), suggesting the asset may be overvalued.
- The price is above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential price reversal.
- The ADX is above the specified threshold (25), confirming trend strength.
3. *Position Sizing*:
- The script calculates the position size dynamically based on the trader's risk per trade (expressed as a percentage of the total capital) and the ATR. This ensures that the trader does not risk more than the specified percentage on any single trade, adjusting the position size according to market volatility.
4. *Exit Conditions*:
- The strategy uses a trailing stop-loss mechanism to secure profits as the price moves in the trader's favor. The trailing stop is set at a percentage (1.5% by default) below the highest price reached since entry for long positions and above the lowest price for short positions.
- Additionally, if the RSI crosses back above the overbought level while in a long position or below the oversold level while in a short position, the position is closed to prevent losses.
5. *Alerts*:
- Alerts are set to notify the trader when a buy or sell condition is met based on the strategy's rules. This allows for timely execution of trades.
### Summary
This strategy aims to capture significant price movements in the XAU/USD market by combining trend-following (EMAs, ADX) and momentum indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands). The dynamic position sizing based on ATR helps manage risk effectively. By implementing trailing stops and alert mechanisms, the strategy enhances the trader's ability to act quickly on opportunities while mitigating potential losses.
Volatility Breaker Blocks [BigBeluga]The Volatility Breaker Blocks indicator identifies key market levels based on significant volatility at pivot highs and lows. It plots blocks that act as potential support and resistance zones, marked in green (support) and blue (resistance). Even after a breakout, these blocks leave behind shadow boxes that continue to impact price action. The sensitivity of block detection can be adjusted in the settings, allowing traders to customize the identification of volatility breakouts. The blocks print triangle labels (up or down) after breakouts, indicating potential areas of interest.
🔵 IDEA
The Volatility Breaker Blocks indicator is designed to highlight key areas in the market where volatility has created significant price action. These blocks, created at pivot highs and lows with increased volatility, act as potential support and resistance levels.
The idea is that even after price breaks through these blocks, the remaining shadow boxes continue to influence price movements. By focusing on volatility-driven pivot points, traders can better anticipate how price may react when it revisits these areas. The indicator also captures the natural tendency for price to retest broken resistance or support levels.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ High Volatility Breaker Blocks:
The indicator identifies areas of high volatility at pivot highs and lows, plotting blocks that represent these zones. Green blocks represent support zones (identified at pivot lows), while blue blocks represent resistance zones (identified at pivot highs).
Support:
Resistance:
◉ Shadow Blocks after Breakouts:
When price breaks through a block, the block doesn't disappear. Instead, it leaves behind a shadow box, which can still influence future price action. These shadow blocks act as secondary support or resistance levels.
If the price crosses these shadow blocks, the block stops extending, and the right edge of the box is fixed at the point where the price crosses it. This feature helps traders monitor important price levels even after the initial breakout has occurred.
◉ Triangle Labels for Breakouts:
After the price breaks through a volatility block, the indicator prints triangle labels (up or down) at the breakout points.
◉ Support and Resistance Retests:
One of the key concepts in this indicator is the retesting of broken blocks. After breaking a resistance block, price often returns to the shadow box, which then acts as support. Similarly, after breaking a support block, price tends to return to the shadow box, which becomes a resistance level. This concept of price retesting and bouncing off these levels is essential for understanding how the indicator can be used to identify potential entries and exits.
The natural tendency of price to retest broken resistance or support levels.
Additionaly indicator can display retest signals of broken support or resistance
◉ Customizable Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of volatility detection can be adjusted in the settings. A higher sensitivity captures fewer but more significant breakouts, while a lower sensitivity captures more frequent volatility breakouts. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Calculation Window: Defines the window of bars over which the breaker blocks are calculated. A larger window will capture longer-term levels, while a smaller window focuses on more recent volatility areas.
Volatility Sensitivity: Adjusts the threshold for volatility detection. Lower sensitivity captures smaller breakouts, while higher sensitivity focuses on larger, more significant moves.
Retest Signals: Display or hide retest signals of shadow boxes

Double BBW OverlayDouble BBW Overlay Indicator
Overview
The Double BBW (Bollinger Band Width) Overlay indicator is a custom script for TradingView that combines two BBW indicators with adjustable settings. It allows traders to compare the volatility of two different periods of Bollinger Bands on the same chart. By default, the first BBW is calculated with a 10-period center line, and the second BBW with a 20-period center line, but these values can be customized.
How It Works
Bollinger Bands consist of an upper band, a lower band, and a middle band (typically a moving average). The Bollinger Band Width (BBW) measures the distance between the upper and lower bands relative to the center line. The width of these bands indicates market volatility:
Narrow Bands: Low volatility, usually preceding a breakout.
Wide Bands: High volatility, often following a strong price movement.
This indicator plots two BBW values on a non-overlay chart, making it easy to visualize and compare different market conditions over different periods.

Default: 20
This controls the length of the moving average for the second BBW calculation. It defines how many periods are used to calculate the middle Bollinger Band for BBW 2.
Standard Deviation Multiplier (mult)
Default: 2.0
This controls how far the upper and lower Bollinger Bands are from the center line. The multiplier affects how sensitive the Bollinger Bands are to price changes, with higher values producing wider bands.
How to Use
Adding the Indicator: Once the script is added to your TradingView account, simply apply the indicator to any chart. It will be displayed as a separate pane below the price chart, showing two BBW lines corresponding to the two different periods.
Customizing Periods: Use the settings panel to adjust the center line periods for BBW 1 and BBW 2 to match your desired trading strategy. For instance, you can analyze short-term versus long-term volatility by adjusting the periods.
Volatility Analysis:
When both BBW lines are narrow, it indicates low volatility across both short-term and long-term periods, which could suggest that a breakout is imminent.
If both BBW lines widen simultaneously, it shows that volatility is increasing in both timeframes, possibly indicating a strong trend.
Use Cases
Breakout Strategy: When the BBW lines contract significantly, it may signal that a low-volatility period is about to end, which is often followed by a price breakout in either direction.
Trend Strength: Comparing short-term and long-term BBW values can help determine if recent price movements are supported by broader market volatility or if they are isolated to the short term.
Chart Display
BBW 1: Blue line, representing the Bollinger Band Width calculated with a center line period of 10 (or your customized value).
BBW 2: Red line, representing the Bollinger Band Width calculated with a center line period of 20 (or your customized value).

🔶 ORIGINALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) is a unique indicator that applies the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process to identify mean-reverting behavior in asset prices. Unlike traditional moving average-based indicators, this model uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to calculate the long-term mean, dynamically adjusting to recent price movements while still considering all historical data. It also incorporates volatility bands, providing a "cloud" that visually highlights overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of mean reversion (θ) through the autocorrelation of log returns, this indicator offers traders a more nuanced and mathematically robust tool for identifying mean-reversion opportunities. These innovations make it especially useful for markets that exhibit range-bound characteristics, offering timely buy and sell signals based on statistical deviations from the mean.
🔸Adaptive Mean Calculation Traditional MA indicators use fixed lengths, which can lead to lagging signals or over-sensitivity in volatile markets. The Mean Reversion Cloud uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), which adapts to price movements by dynamically adjusting its calculation, offering a more responsive mean.
🔸Volatility-Based Cloud Unlike simple moving averages that only plot a single line, the Mean Reversion Cloud surrounds the dynamic mean with volatility bands. These bands, based on standard deviations, provide traders with a visual cue of when prices are statistically likely to revert, highlighting potential reversal zones.
🔸Speed of Reversion (θ) The indicator goes beyond price averages by calculating the speed at which the price reverts to the mean (θ), using the autocorrelation of log returns. This gives traders an additional tool for estimating the likelihood and timing of mean reversion, making the signals more reliable in practice.
🔶 FUNCTIONALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) indicator is designed to detect potential mean-reversion opportunities in asset prices by applying the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process. It calculates a dynamic mean through the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and plots volatility bands based on the standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified period. These bands create a "cloud" that represents expected price fluctuations, helping traders to identify overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of reversion (θ) from the autocorrelation of log returns, the indicator offers a more refined way of assessing how quickly prices may revert to the mean. Additionally, the inclusion of volatility provides a comprehensive view of market conditions, allowing for more accurate buy and sell signals.
Let's dive into the details:
🔸Dynamic Mean and Volatility Bands The dynamic mean (μ) is calculated using the EWMA, giving more weight to recent prices but considering all historical data. This process closely resembles the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, which models the tendency of a stochastic variable (such as price) to revert to its mean over time. Volatility bands are plotted around the mean using standard deviation, forming the "cloud" that signals overbought or oversold conditions. The cloud adapts dynamically to price fluctuations and market volatility, making it a versatile tool for mean-reversion strategies. 🞘 How it works Step one: Calculate the dynamic mean (μ) The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process describes how a variable, such as an asset's price, tends to revert to a long-term mean while subject to random fluctuations. In this indicator, the EWMA is used to compute the dynamic mean (μ), mimicking the mean-reverting behavior of the OU process. Use the EWMA formula to compute a weighted mean that adjusts to recent price movements. Assign exponentially decreasing weights to older data while giving more emphasis to current prices. Step two: Plot volatility bands Calculate the standard deviation of the price over a user-defined period to determine market volatility. Position the upper and lower bands around the mean by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation. 🞘 How to calculate Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
The EWMA dynamically adjusts to recent price movements:
mu_t = lambda * mu_{t-1} + (1 - lambda) * P_t
Where mu_t is the mean at time t, lambda is the decay factor, and P_t is the price at time t. The higher the decay factor, the more weight is given to recent data.
Autocorrelation (ρ) and Standard Deviation (σ)
To measure mean reversion speed and volatility: rho = correlation(log(close), log(close ), length) Where rho is the autocorrelation of log returns over a specified period.
To calculate volatility:
sigma = stdev(close, length)
Where sigma is the standard deviation of the asset's closing price over a specified length.
Upper and Lower Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated as follows:
upper_band = mu + (threshold * sigma)
lower_band = mu - (threshold * sigma)
Where threshold is a multiplier for the standard deviation, usually set to 2. These bands represent the range within which the price is expected to fluctuate, based on current volatility and the mean.
🞘 Code extract // Calculate Returns
returns = math.log(close / close )
// Calculate Long-Term Mean (μ) using EWMA over the entire dataset
var float ewma_mu = na // Initialize ewma_mu as 'na'
ewma_mu := na(ewma_mu ) ? close : decay_factor * ewma_mu + (1 - decay_factor) * close
mu = ewma_mu
// Calculate Autocorrelation at Lag 1
rho1 = ta.correlation(returns, returns , corr_length)
// Ensure rho1 is within valid range to avoid errors
rho1 := na(rho1) or rho1 <= 0 ? 0.0001 : rho1
// Calculate Speed of Mean Reversion (θ)
theta = -math.log(rho1)
// Calculate Volatility (σ)
sigma = ta.stdev(close, corr_length)
// Calculate Upper and Lower Bands
upper_band = mu + threshold * sigma
lower_band = mu - threshold * sigma
🔸Visualization via Table and Plotshapes
The table shows key statistics such as the current value of the dynamic mean (μ), the number of times the price has crossed the upper or lower bands, and the consecutive number of bars that the price has remained in an overbought or oversold state.
Plotshapes (diamonds) are used to signal buy and sell opportunities. A green diamond below the price suggests a buy signal when the price crosses below the lower band, and a red diamond above the price indicates a sell signal when the price crosses above the upper band.
The table and plotshapes provide a comprehensive visualization, combining both statistical and actionable information to aid decision-making.
🞘 Code extract // Reset consecutive_bars when price crosses the mean
var consecutive_bars = 0
if (close < mu and close >= mu) or (close > mu and close <= mu)
consecutive_bars := 0
else if math.abs(deviation) > 0
consecutive_bars := math.min(consecutive_bars + 1, dev_length)
transparency = math.max(0, math.min(100, 100 - (consecutive_bars * 100 / dev_length)))
🔶 INSTRUCTIONS
The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) indicator can be set up by adding it to your TradingView chart and configuring parameters such as the decay factor, autocorrelation length, and volatility threshold to suit current market conditions. Look for price crossovers and deviations from the calculated mean for potential entry signals. Use the upper and lower bands as dynamic support/resistance levels for setting take profit and stop-loss orders. Combining this indicator with additional trend-following or momentum-based indicators can improve signal accuracy. Adjust settings for better mean-reversion detection and risk management.
🔸Step-by-Step Guidelines
🞘 Setting Up the Indicator
Adding the Indicator to the Chart:
Go to your TradingView chart.
Click on the "Indicators" button at the top.
Search for "Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck)" in the indicators list.
Click on the indicator to add it to your chart.
Configuring the Indicator:
Open the indicator settings by clicking on the gear icon next to its name on the chart.
Decay Factor: Adjust the decay factor (λ) to control the responsiveness of the mean calculation. A higher value prioritizes recent data.
Autocorrelation Length: Set the autocorrelation length (θ) for calculating the speed of mean reversion. Longer lengths consider more historical data.
Threshold: Define the number of standard deviations for the upper and lower bands to determine how far price must deviate to trigger a signal.
Chart Setup:
Select the appropriate timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, daily) based on your trading strategy.
Consider using other indicators such as RSI or MACD to confirm buy and sell signals.
🞘 Understanding What to Look For on the Chart
Indicator Behavior:
Observe how the price interacts with the dynamic mean and volatility bands. The price staying within the bands suggests mean-reverting behavior, while crossing the bands signals potential entry points.
The indicator calculates overbought/oversold conditions based on deviation from the mean, highlighted by color-coded cloud areas on the chart.
Crossovers and Deviation:
Look for crossovers between the price and the mean (μ) or the bands. A bullish crossover occurs when the price crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential buying opportunity.
A bearish crossover occurs when the price crosses above the upper band, suggesting a potential sell signal.
Deviations from the mean indicate market extremes. A large deviation indicates that the price is far from the mean, suggesting a potential reversal.
Slope and Direction:
Pay attention to the slope of the mean (μ). A rising slope suggests bullish market conditions, while a declining slope signals a bearish market.
The steepness of the slope can indicate the strength of the mean-reversion trend.
🞘 Possible Entry Signals
Bullish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a long position when the price crosses below the lower band with a positive deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Use additional indicators like RSI (above 50) or increasing volume to confirm the bullish signal.
Bearish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a short position when the price crosses above the upper band with a negative deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Look for RSI (below 50) or decreasing volume to confirm the bearish signal.
Deviation Confirmation:
Enter trades when the deviation from the mean is significant, indicating that the price has strayed far from its expected value and is likely to revert.
🞘 Possible Take Profit Strategies
Static Take Profit Levels:
Set predefined take profit levels based on historical volatility, using the upper and lower bands as guides.
Place take profit orders near recent support/resistance levels, ensuring you're capitalizing on the mean-reversion behavior.
Trailing Stop Loss:
Use a trailing stop based on a percentage of the price deviation from the mean to lock in profits as the trend progresses.
Adjust the trailing stop dynamically along the calculated bands to protect profits as the price returns to the mean.
Deviation-Based Exits:
Exit when the deviation from the mean starts to decrease, signaling that the price is returning to its equilibrium.
🞘 Possible Stop-Loss Levels
Initial Stop Loss:
Place an initial stop loss outside the lower band (for long positions) or above the upper band (for short positions) to protect against excessive deviations.
Use a volatility-based buffer to avoid getting stopped out during normal price fluctuations.
Dynamic Stop Loss:
Move the stop loss closer to the mean as the price converges back towards equilibrium, reducing risk.
Adjust the stop loss dynamically along the bands to account for sudden market movements.
🞘 Additional Tips
Combine with Other Indicators:
Enhance your strategy by combining the Mean Reversion Cloud with momentum indicators like MACD, RSI, or Bollinger Bands to confirm market conditions.
Backtesting and Practice:
Backtest the indicator on historical data to understand how it performs in various market environments.
Practice using the indicator on a demo account before implementing it in live trading.
Market Awareness:
Keep an eye on market news and events that might cause extreme price movements. The indicator reacts to price data and might not account for news-driven events that can cause large deviations.
🔸Customize settings 🞘 Decay Factor (λ): Defines the weight assigned to recent price data in the calculation of the mean. A value closer to 1 places more emphasis on recent prices, while lower values create a smoother, more lagging mean.
🞘 Autocorrelation Length (θ): Sets the period for calculating the speed of mean reversion and volatility. Longer lengths capture more historical data, providing smoother calculations, while shorter lengths make the indicator more responsive.
🞘 Threshold (σ): Specifies the number of standard deviations used to create the upper and lower bands. Higher thresholds widen the bands, producing fewer signals, while lower thresholds tighten the bands for more frequent signals.
🞘 Max Gradient Length (γ): Determines the maximum number of consecutive bars for calculating the deviation gradient. This setting impacts the transparency of the plotted bands based on the length of deviation from the mean.
🔶 CONCLUSION
The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) indicator offers a sophisticated approach to identifying mean-reversion opportunities by applying the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process. This dynamic indicator calculates a responsive mean using an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and plots volatility-based bands to highlight overbought and oversold conditions. By incorporating advanced statistical measures like autocorrelation and standard deviation, traders can better assess market extremes and potential reversals. The indicator’s ability to adapt to price behavior makes it a versatile tool for traders focused on both short-term price deviations and longer-term mean-reversion strategies.

Bitcoin CME-Spot Z-Spread - Strategy [presentTrading]This time is a swing trading strategy! It measures the sentiment of the Bitcoin market through the spread of CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. By applying Bollinger Bands to the spread, the strategy seeks to capture mean-reversion opportunities when prices deviate significantly from their historical norms
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy is designed to capture mean-reversion opportunities by exploiting the spread between CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. The strategy uses Bollinger Bands to detect when the spread between these two correlated assets has deviated significantly from its historical norm, signaling potential overbought or oversold conditions.
What sets this strategy apart is its focus on spread trading between futures and spot markets rather than price-based indicators. By applying Bollinger Bands to the spread rather than individual prices, the strategy identifies price inefficiencies across markets, allowing traders to take advantage of the natural reversion to the mean that often occurs in these correlated assets.
BTCUSD 8hr Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The strategy relies on Bollinger Bands to assess the volatility and relative deviation of the spread between CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. Bollinger Bands consist of a moving average and two standard deviation bands, which help measure how much the spread deviates from its historical mean.
🔶 Spread Calculation:
The spread is calculated by subtracting the Bitfinex spot price from the CME Bitcoin futures price:
Spread = CME Price - Bitfinex Price
This spread represents the difference between the futures and spot markets, which may widen or narrow based on supply and demand dynamics in each market. By analyzing the spread, the strategy can detect when prices are too far apart (potentially overbought or oversold), indicating a trading opportunity.
🔶 Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The Bollinger Bands for the spread are calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation of the spread over a defined period.
1. Moving Average (SMA):
The simple moving average of the spread (mu_S) over a specified period P is calculated as:
mu_S = (1/P) * sum(S_i from i=1 to P)
Where S_i represents the spread at time i, and P is the lookback period (default is 200 bars). The moving average provides a baseline for the normal spread behavior.
2. Standard Deviation:
The standard deviation (sigma_S) of the spread is calculated to measure the volatility of the spread:
sigma_S = sqrt((1/P) * sum((S_i - mu_S)^2 from i=1 to P))
3. Upper and Lower Bollinger Bands:
The upper and lower Bollinger Bands are derived by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation from the moving average. The number of standard deviations is determined by a user-defined parameter k (default is 2.618).
- Upper Band:
Upper Band = mu_S + (k * sigma_S)
- Lower Band:
Lower Band = mu_S - (k * sigma_S)
These bands provide a dynamic range within which the spread typically fluctuates. When the spread moves outside of these bands, it is considered overbought or oversold, potentially offering trading opportunities.
Local view
🔶 Entry Conditions:
- Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the spread crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating that the spread has become oversold and is likely to revert upward.
Spread < Lower Band
- Short Entry: A short position is triggered when the spread crosses above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that the spread has become overbought and is likely to revert downward.
Spread > Upper Band
🔶 Risk Management and Profit-Taking:
The strategy incorporates multi-step take profits to lock in gains as the trade moves in favor. The position is gradually reduced at predefined profit levels, reducing risk while allowing part of the trade to continue running if the price keeps moving favorably.
Additionally, the strategy uses a hold period exit mechanism. If the trade does not hit any of the take-profit levels within a certain number of bars, the position is closed automatically to avoid excessive exposure to market risks.
█ Trade Direction
The trade direction is based on deviations of the spread from its historical norm:
- Long Trade: The strategy enters a long position when the spread crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling an oversold condition where the spread is expected to narrow.
- Short Trade: The strategy enters a short position when the spread crosses above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling an overbought condition where the spread is expected to widen.
These entries rely on the assumption of mean reversion, where extreme deviations from the average spread are likely to revert over time.
█ Usage
The Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on price inefficiencies between Bitcoin futures and spot markets. It’s especially useful in volatile markets where large deviations between futures and spot prices occur.
- Market Conditions: This strategy is most effective in correlated markets, like CME futures and spot Bitcoin. Traders can adjust the Bollinger Bands period and standard deviation multiplier to suit different volatility regimes.
- Backtesting: Before deployment, backtesting the strategy across different market conditions and timeframes is recommended to ensure robustness. Adjust the take-profit steps and hold periods to reflect the trader’s risk tolerance and market behavior.
█ Default Settings
The default settings provide a balanced approach to spread trading using Bollinger Bands but can be adjusted depending on market conditions or personal trading preferences.
🔶 Bollinger Bands Period (200 bars):
This defines the number of bars used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation for the Bollinger Bands. A longer period smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on larger, more significant trends. Adjusting the period affects the responsiveness of the strategy:
- Shorter periods (e.g., 100 bars): Makes the strategy more reactive to short-term market fluctuations, potentially generating more signals but increasing the risk of false positives.
- Longer periods (e.g., 300 bars): Focuses on longer-term trends, reducing the frequency of trades and focusing only on significant deviations.
🔶 Standard Deviation Multiplier (2.618):
The multiplier controls how wide the Bollinger Bands are around the moving average. By default, the bands are set at 2.618 standard deviations away from the average, ensuring that only significant deviations trigger trades.
- Higher multipliers (e.g., 3.0): Require a more extreme deviation to trigger trades, reducing trade frequency but potentially increasing the accuracy of signals.
- Lower multipliers (e.g., 2.0): Make the bands narrower, increasing the number of trade signals but potentially decreasing their reliability.
🔶 Take-Profit Levels:
The strategy has four take-profit levels to gradually lock in profits:
- Level 1 (3%): 25% of the position is closed at a 3% profit.
- Level 2 (8%): 20% of the position is closed at an 8% profit.
- Level 3 (14%): 15% of the position is closed at a 14% profit.
- Level 4 (21%): 10% of the position is closed at a 21% profit.
Adjusting these take-profit levels affects how quickly profits are realized:
- Lower take-profit levels: Capture gains more quickly, reducing risk but potentially cutting off larger profits.
- Higher take-profit levels: Let trades run longer, aiming for bigger gains but increasing the risk of price reversals before profits are locked in.
🔶 Hold Days (20 bars):
The strategy automatically closes the position after 20 bars if none of the take-profit levels are hit. This feature prevents trades from being held indefinitely, especially if market conditions are stagnant. Adjusting this:
- Shorter hold periods: Reduce the duration of exposure, minimizing risks from market changes but potentially closing trades too early.
- Longer hold periods: Allow trades to stay open longer, increasing the chance for mean reversion but also increasing exposure to unfavorable market conditions.
By understanding how these default settings affect the strategy’s performance, traders can optimize the Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy to their preferences, adapting it to different market environments and risk tolerances.

TechniTrend: Strong Candles DetectorTechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector
Description:
The TechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector indicator is designed to identify strong candlestick patterns based on customizable thresholds of candle strength, volume, and price volatility. By detecting significant candles that have a high proportion of body relative to total range, the indicator helps traders identify potential shifts in market direction, making it a useful tool for trend analysis and reversal spotting.
Key Features:
Candle Strength Detection: The indicator calculates the strength of a candle based on the ratio of its body (difference between open and close) to its total range (high minus low). If the body size exceeds a user-defined threshold, the candle is flagged as strong. This helps traders quickly identify key candles that may signal market movements.
Volume Confirmation (Optional): An optional volume confirmation allows the indicator to only flag candles as "strong" if the trading volume during the candle exceeds the average volume over a customizable period. This can help validate that a candle’s movement is backed by significant market participation.
Volatility Body Confirmation (Optional): Users can further refine the detection by requiring that the body of a strong candle exceed the average body size (volatility) of previous candles. This ensures that candles with greater price movement are prioritized.
Customizable Inputs:
Strength Threshold: Defines the minimum ratio of body to total range for a candle to be considered strong.
Moving Average Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, or WMA for calculating the moving average of volume or body volatility.
Volume and Body Confirmation: Adjust the percentage thresholds for the difference between the current volume/body size and their average values.
Visual Alerts: The indicator marks strong bullish candles with green upward labels below the candle, and strong bearish candles with red downward labels above the candle. Additionally, strong candles can be highlighted with a customizable background color for easier visualization.
How It Works:
Strength Ratio:
The core of this indicator is the calculation of the strength ratio, which is defined as the body size (open-close) divided by the total range (high-low). If the body size is larger relative to the total range and exceeds the user-defined threshold, the candle is flagged as strong.
Volume and Volatility Confirmation:
For traders seeking additional confirmation, the indicator can be configured to only mark candles if the current volume or body volatility exceeds the average by a user-defined percentage. These confirmations can be toggled on or off to suit different trading strategies.
Customization Options:
Strength Threshold (0-1):
Sets the minimum strength required for a candle to be flagged. A higher value will result in fewer but more significant candles being marked.
Volume Confirmation:
Toggle on to require a higher volume compared to the average volume for a candle to be confirmed as strong.
Volatility Body Confirmation:
Toggle on to require a larger candle body compared to the average body size for further confirmation.
Candle Color:
Choose the background color used to highlight strong candles.
Recommended Settings:
Strength Threshold: 0.7 (for a good balance between body and range)
Volume Difference: 0.05 (5% above the average volume)
Body Volatility Difference: 0.05 (5% above the average body size)
Length: 14 (for volume and volatility moving averages)
Conclusion: The TechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector is an easy-to-use yet powerful tool for traders who want to identify key candles that signal potential market trends. Its customizable settings allow for fine-tuning to fit different trading styles, whether looking for high-volume breakouts or significant price movements. The indicator offers both a visual and configurable alert system to help traders make more informed decisions.

Hyperbolic Tangent Volatility Stop [InvestorUnknown]The Hyperbolic Tangent Volatility Stop (HTVS) is an advanced technical analysis tool that combines the smoothing capabilities of the Hyperbolic Tangent Moving Average (HTMA) with a volatility-based stop mechanism. This indicator is designed to identify trends and reversals while accounting for market volatility.
Hyperbolic Tangent Moving Average (HTMA):
The HTMA is at the heart of the HTVS. This custom moving average uses a hyperbolic tangent transformation to smooth out price fluctuations, focusing on significant trends while ignoring minor noise. The transformation reduces the sensitivity to sharp price movements, providing a clearer view of the underlying market direction.
The hyperbolic tangent function (tanh) is commonly used in mathematical fields like calculus, machine learning and signal processing due to its properties of “squashing” inputs into a range between -1 and 1. The function provides a non-linear transformation that can reduce the impact of extreme values while retaining a certain level of smoothness.
tanh(x) =>
e_x = math.exp(x)
e_neg_x = math.exp(-x)
(e_x - e_neg_x) / (e_x + e_neg_x)
The HTMA is calculated by applying a non-linear transformation to the difference between the source price and its simple moving average, then adjusting it using the standard deviation of the price data. The result is a moving average that better tracks the real market direction.
htma(src, len, mul) =>
tanh_src = tanh((src - ta.sma(src, len)) * mul) * ta.stdev(src, len) + ta.sma(src, len)
htma = ta.sma(tanh_src, len)
Important Note: The Hyperbolic Tangent function becomes less accurate with very high prices. For assets priced above 100,000, the results may deteriorate, and for prices exceeding 1 million, the function may stop functioning properly. Therefore, this indicator is better suited for assets with lower prices or lower price ratios.
Volatility Stop (VolStop):
HTVS employs a Volatility Stop mechanism based on the Average True Range (ATR). This stop dynamically adjusts based on market volatility, ensuring that the indicator adapts to changing conditions and avoids false signals in choppy markets.
The VolStop follows the price, with a higher ATR pushing the stop farther away to avoid premature exits during volatile periods. Conversely, when volatility is low, the stop tightens to lock in profits as the trend progresses.
The ATR Length and ATR Multiplier are customizable, allowing traders to control how tightly or loosely the stop follows the price.
pine_volStop(src, atrlen, atrfactor) =>
if not na(src)
var max = src
var min = src
var uptrend = true
var float stop = na
atrM = nz(ta.atr(atrlen) * atrfactor, ta.tr)
max := math.max(max, src)
min := math.min(min, src)
stop := nz(uptrend ? math.max(stop, max - atrM) : math.min(stop, min + atrM), src)
uptrend := src - stop >= 0.0
if uptrend != nz(uptrend , true)
max := src
min := src
stop := uptrend ? max - atrM : min + atrM
Backtest Mode:
HTVS includes a built-in backtest mode, allowing traders to evaluate the indicator's performance on historical data. In backtest mode, it calculates the cumulative equity curve and compares it to a simple buy and hold strategy.
Backtesting features can be adjusted to focus on specific signal types, such as Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
An optional Buy and Hold Equity plot provides insight into how the indicator performs relative to simply holding the asset over time.
The indicator includes a Hints Table, which provides useful recommendations on how to best display the indicator for different use cases. For example, when using the overlay mode, it suggests displaying the indicator in the same pane as price action, while backtest mode is recommended to be used in a separate pane for better clarity.
The Hyperbolic Tangent Volatility Stop offers traders a balanced approach to trend-following, using the robustness of the HTMA for smoothing and the adaptability of the Volatility Stop to avoid whipsaw trades during volatile periods. With its backtesting features and alert system, this indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for active traders.

- **Indicator Source**: The price source to calculate the trend (e.g., close, hl2).
- **Indicator Length**: The number of periods to calculate the ATR and trend (the larger the value, the smoother the trend).
- **Starting and Increment Factor**: These adjust how reactive the trend is to price movements. The starting factor dictates how far the initial trend band is from the price, and the increment factor adjusts subsequent trend deviations.
The indicator then displays buy and sell signals on the chart, along with alerts for each take-profit level.
Local picture
█ Default Settings
The default settings of the **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend** are carefully designed to provide an optimal balance between sensitivity and accuracy. Let’s examine these default parameters and their effect on performance:
🔶 Indicator Length (Default: 10)
The **Indicator Length** determines the lookback period for the ATR calculation. A smaller value makes the indicator more reactive to price changes, but may generate more false signals. A longer length smooths the trend and reduces noise but may delay signals.
Effect on performance: Shorter lengths perform better in volatile markets, while longer lengths excel in trending markets.
🔶 Starting Factor (Default: 0.618)
This factor adjusts the starting distance of the SuperTrend from the current price. The smaller the starting factor, the closer the trend is to the price, making it more sensitive. Conversely, a larger factor allows more distance, reducing sensitivity but filtering out false signals.
Effect on performance: A smaller factor provides quicker signals but can lead to frequent false positives. A larger factor generates fewer but more reliable signals.
🔶 Increment Factor (Default: 0.382)
The **Increment Factor** controls how the trend bands adjust as the price moves. It increases the distance of the bands from the price with each iteration.
Effect on performance: A higher increment factor can result in wider stop-loss or trend reversal bands, allowing for longer trends to develop without frequent exits. A lower factor keeps the bands closer to the price and is more suited for shorter-term trades.
🔶 Take Profit Levels (Default: 2%, 8%, 18%)
The default take-profit levels are set at 2%, 8%, and 18%. These values represent the thresholds at which the trader can partially exit their positions. These multi-step levels are highly customizable depending on the trader’s risk tolerance and strategy.
Effect on performance: Lower take-profit levels (e.g., 2%) capture small, quick profits in volatile markets, while higher levels (8%-18%) allow for a more gradual exit in strong trends.
🔶 Normalization Method (Default: None)
The default normalization method is **None**, meaning the deviations are not normalized. However, enabling normalization (e.g., **Max-Min**) can improve the clarity of the indicator’s signals in volatile or choppy markets by smoothing out the noise.
Effect on performance: Using a normalization method can reduce the effect of extreme deviations, making signals more stable and less prone to false positives.
Trend CCITrend CCI (TCCI) Indicator
Description:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator is a unique combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Average True Range (ATR), designed to identify trends and market reversals with a refined sensitivity to price volatility. The indicator plots the CCI, adjusted by an ATR filter, and color-codes the trendline to signal uptrends and downtrends.
How It Works:
This indicator uses the CCI to measure price momentum and an ATR-based filter to smooth out market noise, making it easier to detect significant shifts in the market trend. Key parameters such as the ATR Period, ATR Multiplier, and CCI Period have been carefully chosen to optimize the indicator's performance:
1. ATR Period (default: 18)
The ATR Period determines the number of periods used to calculate the **Average True Range**, which reflects market volatility. In this case, an **ATR Period of 18** has been selected for several reasons:
Balance between responsiveness and noise reduction : A period of 18 strikes a balance between being responsive to recent price movements and filtering out minor fluctuations. Shorter ATR periods might be too reactive, creating false signals, while longer periods might miss shorter-term trends.
Adaptable to various market conditions : An 18-period ATR is suitable for both intraday and swing trading strategies, making it versatile across different time frames.
Standard industry practice : Many traders use ATR settings between 14 and 20 periods as a convention for detecting reliable volatility levels.
2. ATR Multiplier (default: 1.5)
The ATR Multiplier is applied to the ATR value to define how sensitive the indicator is to volatility. In this case, a multiplier of 1.5 has been chosen:
Avoiding whipsaws in low volatility markets: By setting the multiplier to 1.5, the indicator filters out smaller, less significant price movements, reducing the likelihood of whipsaw signals (i.e., false trend reversals during periods of low volatility).
Optimizing signal accuracy: A moderate multiplier like 1.5 ensures that the indicator only generates signals when the price moves a significant distance from the average range. Higher multipliers (e.g., 2.0) may ignore valid opportunities, while lower multipliers (e.g., 1.0) might create too many signals.
Enhancing trend clarity : The multiplier’s role in widening the range allows the indicator to respond more clearly during periods of strong trends, reducing signal noise and false positives.
3. CCI Period (default: 63)
The CCI Period defines the number of periods used to calculate the Commodity Channel Index. A 63-period CCI is selected based on the following considerations:
Smoothing the momentum calculation: A longer period, such as 63, is used to smooth out the CCI and reduce the effects of short-term price fluctuations. This period captures longer-term momentum, making it ideal for identifying more significant market trends.
-Filtering out short-term noise: While shorter CCI periods (e.g., 14 or 20) may be more reactive, they tend to produce more signals, some of which may be false. A 63-period CCI focuses on stronger and more sustained price movements, providing fewer but higher-quality signals.
Adapted to intermediate trading: A 63-period CCI aligns well with traders looking for medium-term trend-following strategies, striking a balance between long-term trend identification and responsiveness to significant price shifts.
How to Use:
Green Area: When the trendline turns green, it signals that the CCI is positive, reflecting upward momentum. This can be interpreted as a buy signal, indicating the potential for long positions or continuing bullish trades.
Red Area: When the trendline turns red, it signals that the CCI is negative, reflecting downward momentum. This can be interpreted as a sell signal, indicating potential short positions or bearish trades.
ATR Filter: The ATR helps reduce false signals by ignoring minor price movements. Traders can adjust the ATR Multiplier to make the indicator more or less sensitive based on market conditions. A lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) may increase signal frequency, while a higher multiplier (e.g., 2.0) reduces it.
Originality:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) stands out due to its combination of the CCI and ATR. While many indicators simply plot raw CCI values, this script enhances the CCI’s effectiveness by incorporating an ATR-based volatility filter. This ensures that only significant trends trigger signals, making it a more reliable tool in volatile markets. The choice of the ATR period, multiplier, and CCI period ensures a refined balance between trend detection and noise reduction, distinguishing it as a powerful trend-following indicator.
Additionally, the visual aspect—using color-coded trendlines that dynamically shift between green and red—simplifies the interpretation of market trends, offering traders a clear and immediate understanding of trend direction and momentum strength.
Final Recommendations:
Use in Trending Markets The TCCI is most effective in trending markets, where its signals align with broader market momentum. In sideways or low-volatility markets, consider adjusting the ATR multiplier or using other complementary indicators to confirm the signals.
Risk Management: Always integrate robust risk management practices, such as using stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect against sudden market reversals or periods of heightened volatility.
Adjust for Volatility: Consider the volatility of the asset being traded. In highly volatile assets, a higher ATR multiplier (e.g., 2.0) may be necessary to filter out noise, while in more stable assets, a lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) might generate earlier signals.
By using the Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator with a deeper understanding of its key parameters, traders can better identify trends, reduce noise, and improve their overall decision-making in the markets.

Uptrick: Market MoodsThe "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed for the TradingView platform. It combines three powerful indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and Bollinger Bands—into one cohesive framework, aimed at helping traders better understand and interpret market sentiment. By capturing shifts in the emotional climate of the market, it provides a holistic view of market conditions, which can range from calm to stressed or even highly excited. This multi-dimensional analysis tool stands apart from traditional single-indicator approaches by offering a more complete picture of market dynamics, making it a valuable resource for traders looking to anticipate and react to changes in market behavior.
The RSI in the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is used to measure momentum. RSI is an essential component of many technical analysis strategies, and in this tool, it is used to identify potential market extremes. When RSI values are high, they indicate an overbought condition, meaning the market may be approaching a peak. Conversely, low RSI values suggest an oversold condition, signaling that the market could be nearing a bottom. These extremes provide crucial clues about shifts in market sentiment, helping traders gauge whether the current emotional state of the market is likely to result in a reversal. This understanding is pivotal in predicting whether the market is transitioning from calm to stressed or from excited to overbought.
The Average True Range adds another layer to this analysis by offering insights into market volatility. Volatility is a key factor in understanding the mood of the market, as periods of high volatility often reflect high levels of excitement or stress, while low volatility typically indicates a calm, steady market. ATR is calculated based on the range of price movements over a given period, and the higher the value, the more volatile the market is. The "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator uses ATR to dynamically gauge volatility levels, helping traders understand whether the market is currently moving in a way that aligns with its emotional mood. For example, an increase in ATR accompanied by an RSI value that indicates overbought conditions could suggest that the market is in a highly excited state, with the potential for either strong momentum continuation or a sharp reversal.
Bollinger Bands complement these tools by providing visual cues about price volatility and the range within which the market is likely to move. Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations away from a simple moving average of the price. This banding technique helps traders visualize how far the price is likely to deviate from its average over a certain period. The "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator uses Bollinger Bands to establish price boundaries and identify breakout conditions. When prices break above the upper band or below the lower band, it often signals that the market is either highly stressed or excited. This breakout condition serves as a visual representation of the market mood, alerting traders to moments when prices are moving beyond typical ranges and when significant emotional shifts are occurring in the market.
Technically, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator has been developed using TradingView’s Pine Script language, a highly efficient language for building custom indicators. It employs functions like ta.rsi, ta.atr, and ta.sma to perform the necessary calculations. The use of these built-in functions ensures that the calculations are both accurate and efficient, allowing the indicator to operate in real-time without lagging, even in volatile market conditions. The ta.rsi function is used to compute the Relative Strength Index, while ta.atr calculates the Average True Range, and ta.sma is used to smooth out price data for the Bollinger Bands. These functions are applied dynamically within the script, allowing the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator to respond to changes in market conditions in real time.
The user interface of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is designed to provide a visually intuitive experience. The market mood is color-coded on the chart, making it easy for traders to identify whether the market is calm, stressed, or excited at a glance. This feature is especially useful for traders who need to make quick decisions in fast-moving markets. Additionally, the indicator includes an interactive table that updates in real-time, showing the most recent mood state and its frequency. This provides valuable statistical insights into market behavior over specific time frames, helping traders track the dominant emotional state of the market. Whether the market is in a prolonged calm state or rapidly transitioning through moods, this real-time feedback offers actionable data that can help traders adjust their strategies accordingly.
The RSI component of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator helps detect the speed and direction of price movements, offering insight into whether the market is approaching extreme conditions. By providing signals based on overbought and oversold levels, the RSI helps traders decide whether to enter or exit positions. The ATR element acts as a volatility gauge, dynamically adjusting traders’ expectations in response to changes in market volatility. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands help identify trends and potential breakout conditions, serving as an additional confirmation tool that highlights when the price has moved beyond normal boundaries, indicating heightened market excitement or stress.
Despite the robust capabilities of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator, it does have limitations. In markets affected by sudden shifts, such as those driven by major news events or external economic factors, the indicator’s performance may not always be reliable. These external factors can cause rapid mood swings that are difficult for any technical analysis tool to fully anticipate. Additionally, the indicator’s complexity may pose a learning curve for novice traders, particularly those who are unfamiliar with the concepts of RSI, ATR, and Bollinger Bands. However, with practice, traders can become proficient in using the tool to its full potential, leveraging the insights it provides to better navigate market shifts.
For traders seeking a deeper understanding of market sentiment, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is an invaluable resource. It is recommended for those dealing with medium to high volatility instruments, where understanding emotional shifts can offer a strategic advantage. While it can be used on its own, integrating it with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental analysis and additional technical indicators, can enhance its effectiveness. By confirming signals with other tools, traders can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve their overall trading strategy.
To further enhance the accuracy of the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator, it can be integrated with volume-based tools like Volume Profile or On-Balance Volume (OBV). This combination allows traders to confirm the moods identified by the indicator with volume data, providing additional confirmation of market sentiment. For example, when the market is in an excited mood, an increase in trading volume could reinforce the reliability of that signal. Conversely, if the market is stressed but volume remains low, traders may want to proceed with caution. Using multiple indicators together creates a more comprehensive trading approach, helping traders better manage risk and make informed decisions based on multiple data points.
In conclusion, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator is a powerful and unique addition to the suite of technical analysis tools available on TradingView. It provides traders with a multi-dimensional view of market sentiment by combining the analytical strengths of RSI, ATR, and Bollinger Bands into a single tool. Its ability to capture and interpret the emotional mood of the market makes it an essential tool for traders seeking to gain an edge in understanding market behavior. While the indicator has certain limitations, particularly in rapidly shifting markets, its ability to provide real-time insights into market sentiment is a valuable asset for traders of all experience levels. Used in conjunction with other tools and sound trading practices, the "Uptrick: Market Moods" indicator offers a comprehensive solution for navigating the complexities of financial markets.
High Yield Spread Strategy with SMA FilterThis Pine Script strategy is designed for statistical analysis and research purposes only, not for live trading or financial decision-making. The script evaluates the relationship between financial volatility (measured by either the VIX or the High Yield Spread) and market positioning strategies (long or short) based on user-defined conditions. Specifically, it allows users to test the assumption that elevated levels of VIX or the High Yield Spread may justify short positions in the market—a widely held belief in financial circles—but this script demonstrates that shorting is not always the optimal choice, even under these conditions.
Key Components:
1. High Yield Spread and VIX:
• High Yield Spread is the difference between the yields of corporate high-yield (or “junk”) bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. A rising spread often reflects increased market risk perception.
• VIX (Volatility Index) is often referred to as the market’s “fear gauge.” Higher VIX levels usually indicate heightened market uncertainty or expected volatility.
2. Strategy Logic:
• The script allows users to specify a threshold for the VIX or High Yield Spread, and it automatically evaluates if the spread exceeds this level, which traditionally would suggest an environment for higher market risk and thus potentially favoring short trades.
• However, the strategy provides flexibility to enter long or short positions, even in a high-risk environment, emphasizing that a high VIX or High Yield Spread does not always warrant shorting.
3. SMA Filter:
• A Simple Moving Average (SMA) filter can be applied to the price data, where positions are only entered if the price is above or below the SMA (depending on the trade direction). This adds a technical component to the strategy, incorporating price trends into decision-making.
4. Hold Duration:
• The script also allows users to define how long to hold a position after entering, enabling an analysis of different timeframes.
Theoretical Background:
The traditional belief that high VIX or High Yield Spreads favor short positions is not universally supported by research. While a spike in the VIX or credit spreads is often associated with increased market risk, research suggests that excessive volatility does not always lead to negative returns. In fact, high volatility can sometimes signal an approaching market rebound.
For example:
• Studies have shown that long-term investments during periods of heightened volatility can yield favorable returns due to mean reversion. Whaley (2000) notes that VIX spikes are often followed by market recoveries as volatility tends to revert to its mean over time .
• Research by Blitz and Vliet (2007) highlights that low-volatility stocks have historically outperformed high-volatility stocks, suggesting that volatility may not always predict negative returns .
• Furthermore, credit spreads can widen in response to broader market stress, but these may overshoot the actual credit risk, presenting opportunities for long positions when spreads are high and risk premiums are mispriced .
Educational Purpose:
The goal of this script is to challenge assumptions about shorting during volatile periods, showing that long positions can be equally, if not more, effective during market stress. By incorporating an SMA filter and customizable logic for entering trades, users can test different hypotheses regarding the effectiveness of both long and short positions under varying market conditions.
Note: This strategy is not intended for live trading and should be used solely for educational and statistical exploration. Misinterpreting financial indicators can lead to incorrect investment decisions, and it is crucial to conduct comprehensive research before trading.

Outlier changes alertAn indicator that calculates click (price change), percentage change, and Z-score changes while displaying outliers based on defined ranges.
Outlier Detection:
Mark outliers (for price, percentage, Z-score) based on user-defined thresholds. For example, any price movement exceeding a certain Z-score or percentage change could be marked as an outlier and displayed on chart.
Indicator Overview:
1. Click (Price Change):
Calculate the absolute price change from one period to another (e.g., from the current closing price to the previous closing price).
2. Percentage Change:
Calculate the percentage price change over a specific period, showing how much the price has changed in relative terms compared to the previous price.
3. Z-Score:
Compute the Z-score to standardize the price change relative to its historical average and standard deviation. The Z-score helps in detecting whether a price movement is an outlier or falls within a normal range of volatility.
