Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It applies a Linear Regression model to
intra-bar price action, dissecting the total correlation of
each bar into three distinct components.
Key Features:
1. **Three-Component Correlation Decomposition:** The indicator
separates correlation based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
correlation based on the selected `Source` (this results
mainly in 'Trend' and 'Residual' correlation).
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* correlation.
(Assumption: In this mode, the `Source` input is
**ignored**, and an estimated mean for each bar is used
instead).
This separates correlation into:
- **Trend Correlation (Green/Red):** Correlation explained by the
regression's slope (Directional Alignment).
- **Residual Correlation (Yellow):** Correlation from price
oscillating around the regression line (Mean-Reversion/Cointegration).
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Blue):** Correlation from the
high-low range of each bar (Microstructure/Noise).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* correlation as a
stacked area chart, partitioned by the ratio of
the three components.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *energy ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total (0-1),
ideal for identifying the dominant market character.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for growth assets.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and correlation calculations.
5. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* correlation line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Correlation Lines:** The correlation lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Correlation magnitude (High Positive / High Inverse).
- Correlation character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Correlation pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution! Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Weighted
Volume Weighted LR SkewnessThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
skewness (asymmetry) into four distinct, interpretable components
based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Four-Component Skewness Decomposition:** The indicator
separates market asymmetry based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the Law of Total Moments to provide an additive
breakdown of the 3rd Statistical Moment:
- **Trend Skewness (Green/Red):** Asymmetry originating from
the slope of the regression line itself. Indicates if the
trend path is geometrically skewed.
- **Residual Skewness (Yellow):** Asymmetry of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Tail Risk" (e.g.,
sudden spikes against the trend).
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry derived from the
microstructure of individual bars (requires 'Estimate Bar Statistics').
- **Interaction Skewness (Dark Grey):** Asymmetry caused by the
correlation between price levels and volatility (e.g.,
volatility expanding as price moves in one direction).
*Dominance of this component indicates an unstable, emotional market.*
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Skewness and partitions
the area to visualize the contribution (weight) of each
structural source to the overall market bias.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* skewness as a
stacked area chart, allowing to see the magnitude of tail risk.
Stacking logic groups components with the same sign to ensure
visual clarity.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver of asymmetry.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
skewness of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* skewness line. This helps identify extremes in
market sentiment or structural bias.
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Skewness Lines:** The skewness lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Skewness character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by providing a detailed
view of Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails"). It uses data from a lower,
intra-bar timeframe to separate the total kurtosis of a single bar
into distinct, interpretable components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Kurtosis Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). Unlike Variance, the Fourth
Central Moment (Kurtosis) decomposes into three parts:
- **Between-Bar Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the price
path *between* the intra-bar candles. High values indicate
that the macro movement happened in jumps or gaps rather
than a smooth progression.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure (extreme wicks) *inside* the intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since Kurtosis coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Kurtosis and partitions the columns based on the additive
Fourth Moment Decomposition (`M4Tot = M4Btw + M4Wtn + M4Int`).
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
tail risk and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of the components.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and moment calculations.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Kurtosis character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by decomposing total
Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails") into distinct, interpretable components:
"Between-Bar" (Trend Path) and "Within-Bar" (Microstructure).
Key Features:
1. **Moment-Based Kurtosis Decomposition:** The indicator
separates kurtosis based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
It leverages the additive property of the Fourth Central Moment
(Cumulants) to ensure mathematical rigor:
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
simple kurtosis of the selected `Source`.
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* kurtosis.
This separates the tail risk into:
- **Between-Bar Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the price
path itself. High values indicate the trend moves in jumps
or gaps rather than a smooth progression.

and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since Kurtosis coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Kurtosis and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Fourth Moment Decomposition (`M4Tot = M4Btw + M4Wtn + M4Int`). This
ensures the displayed total kurtosis remains mathematically accurate.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to

line, with the background filled by the stacked components.
Shows the *magnitude* of the tail risk.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the **Contribution Ratios**
of each component (-1.0 to 1.0). This isolates the
*structure/quality* of the risk (e.g., "Is the risk
driven by the trend jumps or by the candle instability?").
4. **Calculation Options:**

- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* skewness.
This separates the asymmetry into:
- **Between-Bar Skewness (Gold):** Asymmetry of the price
path itself. A positive value indicates that the trend
moves more aggressively upwards than downwards.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry of the
microstructure (wicks vs. tails). A positive value implies
strong buying pressure within the bars (long tails).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since Skewness coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Skewness and partitions the area/ratios based on the additive
Third Moment Decomposition (`M3Tot = M3Btw + M3Wtn`). This

Volume Weighted Intra Bar CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It uses data from a lower, intra-bar timeframe
to separate the total correlation of a single bar into two distinct
components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Correlation Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') and quantifies two types of correlation:
- **Between-Bar Correlation (Directional):** Calculated from price
movements *between* the intra-bar candles. This component
represents the **macro-movement** correlation within the main bar.
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Non-Directional):** Calculated from
price fluctuations *inside* each intra-bar candle. This
component represents the **microstructure/noise** correlation.
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* correlation as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
correlation and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of 'between-bar' (macro) and 'within-bar' (micro)
correlation.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and covariance calculations.
5. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* correlation line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes alerts for:
- Correlation magnitude (High Positive / High Inverse).
- Correlation character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Correlation pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Universal Moving Average🙏🏻 UMA (Universal Moving Average) represents the most natural and prolly ‘the’ final general universal entity for calculating rolling typical value for any type of time-series. Simply via different weighting schemes applied together, it encodes:
Location of each datapoint in corresponding fields (price, time, volume)
Informational relevance of each datapoint via using windowing functions that are fundamental in nature and go beyond DSP inventions & approximations
Innovation in state space (in our case = volatility)
The real beauty of this development: being simply a weighting scheme that can be applied to anything: be it weighted median , weighted quantile regression, or weighted KDE , or a simple weighted mean (like in this script). As long as a method accepts weights, you can harness the power of this entity. It means that final algorithmic complexity will match your initial tool.
As a moving ‘average’ it beats ALMA, KAMA, MAMA, VIDYA and all others because it is a simple and general entity, and all it does is encoding ‘all’ available information. I think that post might anger a lot of people, because lotta things will be realized as legacy and many paywalls gonna be ignored, specially for the followers of DSP cult, the ones who yet don’t understand that aggregated tick data is not a signal omg, it’s a completely different type of time series where your methods simply don’t fit even closely. I am also sorry to inform y’all, that spectral analysis is much closer to state-space methods in spirit than to DSP. But in fact DSP is cool and I love it, well for actual signals xD
...
Weights explained & how to use them: as I already said, the whole thing is based on combining different set of weights, and you can turn them on/off in script settings. Btw I've set em up defaults so you can use the thing on price data out of the box right away.
Price, Time, Volume weights: encode location of every datapoint in Price & TIme & Volume field
Howtouse: u have to disable one weight that corresponds to the field you apply UMA to. E.g if you apply UMA to prices, you turn off price weighting And turn on time and volume weighting. Or if you apply UMA to volume delta, you turn off volume weighting And turn on price and time weighting.
Higher prices are more important, this asymmetry is confirmed and even proved by the fact that prices can’t be negative (don’t even mention that incorrect rollover on CL contract in 2k20...).
Signal weights: encode actuality/importance/relevance of datapoints.
Howtouse: in DSP terms, it provides smoothing, but also compensates for the lag it introduces. This smoothness is useful if you use slope reversals for signal generation aka watching peaks and valleys in a moving average shape. It's also better to perturb smoothed outputs with this , this way you inject high freq content back, But in controlled way!
Signal = information.
The fundamental universal entity behind so-called “smoothing” in DSP has nothing to do with signals and goes eons beyond DSP. This is simply about measuring the relevance of data in time.
First, new datapoints need some time to be “embedded” into the timeline, you can think of it as time proof, kinda stuff needs time to be proved, accepted; while earliest datapoints lose relevance in time.
Second, along with the first notion, at the same time there’s the counter notion that simply weights new data more, acting as a counterweight from the down-weighting of the latest datapoints introduced by the first notion.
The first part can be represented as PDF of beta(2, 2) window (a set of weights in our case). It’s actually well known as the Welch window, that lives in between so called statistical and DSP worlds, emerges in multiple contexts. Mainstream DSP users tho mostly don’t use this one, they use primitive legacy windowing function, you can find all kinds on this wiki page.
Now the second part, where DSP adepts usually stop, is to introduce the second compensating windowing function. Instead they try to reduce window size, or introduce other kinds of volatility weights, do some tricks, but it ain’t provides obviously. The natural step here is to simply use the integral of the initial window; if the initial window is beta(2, 2) then what we simply need is CDF of beta(2, 2), in fact the vertically inverted shape of it aka survival function . That’s it bros. Simply as that.
When both of these are applied you have smth magical, your output becomes smooth and yet not lagging. No arbitrary windowing functions, tricks with data modification etc
Why beta(2, 2)? It naturally arises in many contexts, it’s based on one of the most fundamental functions in the universe: x^2. It has finite support. I can talk more bout it on request, but I am absolutely sure this is it.
^^ impulse response of the resulting weighs together (green) compared with uniform weights aka boxcar (red). Made with this script .
Weighing by state: encodes state-space innovation of each datapoint, basically magnitude of changes, strength of these changes, aka volatility.
Howtouse: this makes your moving average volatility aware in proper math ways. The influence of datapoints will be stronger when changes are stronger. This is weighting by innovations, or weighting by volatility by using squared returns.
Why squared returns? They encode state‑space innovations properly because the innovation of any continuous‑time semimartingale is about its quadratic variation, and quadratic variation is built from squared increments, not absolute increments.
Adaptive length is not the right way to introduce adaptivity by volatility xD. When you weight datapoints by squared returns you’re already dynamically varying ‘effective’ data size, you don’t need anything else.
...
It’s all good, progress happens, that’s how the Universe works, that's how Universal Moving Average works. Time to evolve. I might update other scripts with this complete weighting scheme, either by my own desire or your request.

Probability-Based Adaptive Detection🙏🏻 PBAD (Probability-Based Adaptive Detection) : adaptive control tool for outliers || novelty detection, made for worst case data & processes, for the highest time complexity O(n^2) compared with the alternatives (would be explained in a sec). Thresholds are completely data driven and axiomatic, no need in provided hyperparameters, are not learned or optimized. The method accepts multiple weights, e.g. both temporal and volatility weights.
Method briefly explained (I can go deeper if any1 asks explicitly):
Performs weighted KDE on initial input data, finds KDE global maximum (mode), creates new “residuals” dataset by centering initial data around this value;
Performs weighted KDE on residuals, uses sigmoid based probability mass targets with increasing probability coverage to construct a set of non-disjoint High Density Intervals (also called HDR, HPD in Bayesian terms);
Uses these intervals to calculate analogs of centralized & standardized moments;
Uses these ^^ moments to construct a set of control thresholds. The scheme used in PBAD is not only based on a central threshold, or on neighboring ones, it utilizes all previous thresholds, gaining more information.
...
The most important part is to understand whether you really need PBAD. Because even tho it seems to be the best one given highest algocomplexity, irl it would work worse in cases when it’s not required by your data.
Here’s the menu (aka taxonomy omg) of methods you can use that would let you make the right choice:
Moment-Based Adaptive Detection (MBAD) :
Norm: L2
Time complexity: original O(n), successfully reduced to O(1) in online version
Use case: default, general purpose
Based on: method of moments (powers of residuals from mean)
Thresholds architecture: centralized
Quantile-Based Adaptive Detection (QBAD):
Norm: L1
Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Use case: either bad data Or process instability
Based on: quantile moments (dyadic percentiles of residuals from median)
Thresholds architecture: chained/recursive/sequential
Probability-Based Adaptive Detection (PBAD):
Norm: L0
Time complexity: O(n^2)
Use case: both bad data And process instability
Based on: probability moments (target probability masses of residuals from KDE mode)
Thresholds architecture: decentralized (for lack of a better name xd, the idea is that these thresholds gain information from the all other threshold and are Not exclusively based on the central or neighboring thresholds)
...
Examples of true use cases:
^^ an appropriate financial instrument to use PBAD
^^ and another one
...
Additional details about how to use it:
Keep the student5 kernel, it’s the best you can do. I added others mostly for comparisons and if you want to use the tool Not for its primary purpose (on a fine data)
“Calculate for N bars” and “Starting at bar N” options allow to reduce calculation period only on the N number of last bars or next bars from a chosen one. It's vital, because calculations here are heavy
Keep plotting offset at 1 (allows to visually compare current bar with the previous threshold values). This is the way it should be done on price data.
HLC3 is the optimal source input, unless you want to use your own better one point estimate of each datapoint (in the best case done by using PBAD itself on OHLC+ values).
In essence it should be used just like MBAD or QBAD, fade/push extensions and limit, fade/push/skip deviations & basis, or other strategies of your. Again, the only reason for 3 methods to exist is to be chosen for according data characteristics.
Btw:
This is the initial version, I don’t consider it perfected tbh, even tho it works as expected, however this method is very situational anyways.
In this script KDE function is modified to ensure the outcoming probabilities Do sum up to 1. I didn’t do this normalization in Weighted KDE Mode script , but there it’s not required since we just need a KDE global max.

For Vietnamese: 3D Volume Weighted Liquidity LevelIntroduction
The 3D Volume Weighted Liquidity Level indicator visualizes market structure by identifying key support and resistance zones based on Pivot Highs and Lows. Unlike standard support/resistance lines, this tool adds a "3D" dimension by calculating the depth of the zone based on Accumulated Volume and Volatility (ATR). This helps traders visualize the "weighted" or significance of a specific price level.
Key Features
- 3D Visualization: Draws geometric boxes connecting similar Pivot points to create clear structural zones.
- Volume & Volatility Depth: The height (depth) of the box is not random. It is calculated dynamically using the accumulated volume between pivots multiplied by the ATR. Thicker boxes imply higher volume accumulation and volatility at that level.
- Liquidity Grab Detection: The indicator automatically detects and highlights bars that "grab liquidity" (break the top of a resistance box or the bottom of a support box), signaling potential stop hunts or reversals.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust pivot lengths, search depth, and the volume scaling factor to fit different timeframes and assets.
How to Use
- Support & Resistance: Use the Blue Boxes as potential Support zones and Red Boxes as potential Resistance zones.
- Trend Reversals: Watch for the Liquidity Grab signals (colored bars). If price pierces a box but fails to close significantly beyond it, it often indicates a trap or a reversal setup.
- Volume Analysis: Pay attention to the thickness of the boxes. A thicker box suggests that a significant amount of volume was traded to form that structure, making it a stronger level of interest.
Volume Weighted Volatility RegimeThe Volume-Weighted Volatility Regime (VWVR) is a market analysis tool that dissects total volatility to classify the current market 'character' or 'regime'. Using a Linear Regression model, it decomposes volatility into Trend, Residual (mean-reversion), and Within-Bar (noise) components.
Key Features:
Seven-Stage Regime Classification: The indicator's primary output is a regime value from -3 to +3, identifying the market state:
+3 (Strong Bull Trend): High directional, upward volatility.
+2 (Choppy Bull): Moderate upward trend with noise.
+1 (Quiet Bull): Low volatility, slight upward drift.
0 (Neutral): No clear directional bias.
-1 (Quiet Bear): Low volatility, slight downward drift.
-2 (Choppy Bear): Moderate downward trend with noise.
-3 (Strong Bear Trend): High directional, downward volatility.
Advanced Volatility Decomposition: The regime is derived from a three-component volatility model that separates price action into Trend (momentum), Residual (mean-reversion), and Within-Bar (noise) variance. The classification is determined by comparing the 'Trend' ratio against the user-defined 'Trend Threshold' and 'Quiet Threshold'.
Dual-Level Analysis: The indicator analyzes market character on two levels simultaneously:
Inter-Bar Regime (Background Color): Based on the main StdDev Length, showing the overall market character.
Intra-Bar Regime (Column Color): Based on a high-resolution analysis within each single bar ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'), showing the micro-structural character.
Calculation Options:
Statistical Model: The 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option (enabled by default) uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to perform the decomposition. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates an Exponential Regression Curve (log-space).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all volatility calculations.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability: The entire dual-level analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Integrated Alerts: Includes 22 comprehensive alerts that trigger whenever the 'Inter-Bar Regime' or the 'Intra-Bar Regime' crosses one of the key thresholds (e.g., 'Regime crosses above Neutral Line'), or when the 'Intra-Bar Dominance' crosses the 50% mark.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR Standard DeviationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed view of volatility. It applies a Linear Regression model to intra-bar price action, dissecting the total volatility of each bar into three distinct components.
Key Features:
Three-Component Volatility Decomposition: By analyzing a lower timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'), the indicator separates each bar's volatility into:
Trend Volatility (Green/Red): Volatility explained by the intra-bar linear regression slope (Momentum).
Residual Volatility (Yellow): Volatility from price oscillating around the intra-bar trendline (Mean-Reversion).
Within-Bar Volatility (Blue): Volatility derived from the range of each intra-bar candle (Noise/Choppiness).
Layered Column Visualization: The indicator plots these components as a layered column chart. The size of each colored layer visually represents the dominance of each volatility character.
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this decomposition:
Absolute Mode: Displays the total standard deviation as the column height, showing the absolute magnitude of volatility and the contribution of each component.
Normalized Mode: Displays the components as a 100% stacked column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the percentage ratio of Trend, Residual, and Noise.
Calculation Options:
Statistical Model: The 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option (enabled by default) uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to perform the decomposition. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates an Exponential Regression Curve (log-space).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all intra-bar calculations.
Multi-Component Pivot Detection: Includes a pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in both the Total Volatility and the Trend Volatility Ratio. (Note: These pivots are only plotted when 'Plot Mode' is set to 'Absolute').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Analysis: The entire intra-bar analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 9 comprehensive alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Character Change from Noise to Trend').
Dominant character emerging (e.g., 'Bullish Trend Character Emerging').
Total Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Trend Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Caution! Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar Standard DeviationThis indicator provides a high-resolution analysis of market volatility by dissecting each bar on the chart into its fundamental components. It uses data from a lower, intra-bar timeframe to separate the total volatility of a single bar into its 'directional' and 'non-directional' parts.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Volatility Decomposition: For each bar on the chart, the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') and quantifies two types of volatility:
Between-Bar Volatility (Directional): Calculated from price movements between the intra-bar candles. This component represents the directional, trending price action within the main bar.
Within-Bar Volatility (Non-Directional): Calculated from price fluctuations inside each intra-bar candle. This component represents the choppy, noisy, or ranging price action.
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this information:
Absolute Mode: Plots the total standard deviation as a stacked column chart, showing the absolute magnitude of volatility and the contribution of each component.
Normalized Mode: Plots the components as a 100% stacked column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the percentage ratio of 'between-bar' (trending) and 'within-bar' (choppy) volatility.
Calculation Options:
Statistical Model: The 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option (enabled by default) uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to perform the decomposition. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates volatility in percentage terms (log-space).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all intra-bar volatility calculations.
Volatility Pivot Detection: Includes a built-in pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in the total volatility line. (Note: This is only visible in 'Absolute Mode').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Analysis Lines: The entire intra-bar analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 6 alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Character Change from Choppy to Trend').
Dominant character emerging (e.g., 'Trend Character Emerging').
Total Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data.

Volume Weighted LR Standard DeviationThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total volatility into three distinct, interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
Three-Component Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): Calculates volatility based on the selected Source (dies führt hauptsächlich zu 'Trend'- und 'Residual'-Volatilität).
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead). This separates volatility into:
Trend Volatility (Green/Red): Volatility explained by the regression's slope (Momentum).
Residual Volatility (Yellow): Volatility from price oscillating around the regression line (Mean-Reversion).
Within-Bar Volatility (Blue): Volatility from the high-low range of each bar (Noise/Choppiness).
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this decomposition:
Absolute Mode: Displays the total standard deviation as a stacked area chart, partitioned by the variance ratio of the three components.
Normalized Mode: Displays the direct variance ratio (proportion) of each component relative to the total (0-1), ideal for identifying the dominant market character.
Calculation Options:
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates an Exponential Regression Curve (log-space), making the analysis suitable for growth assets.
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all regression and volatility calculations.
Multi-Component Pivot Detection: Includes a pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in both the Total Volatility and the Trend Volatility Ratio. (Note: These pivots are only plotted when 'Plot Mode' is set to 'Absolute').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Volatility Lines: The volatility lines can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 9 comprehensive alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Character Change from Noise to Trend').
Dominant character emerging (e.g., 'Bullish Trend Character Emerging').
Total Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Trend Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted Average True RangeThis indicator calculates a customizable version of the Average True Range (ATR), a tool for measuring market volatility. It enhances the standard ATR with volume weighting, a dual-smoothing process, normalization, and volatility pivot detection.
Key Features:
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the volatility calculation. This provides a measure of "volume-adjusted" volatility that is more responsive to significant market activity.
Dual Smoothing Process: For noise reduction, the indicator employs a two-stage smoothing process. It first calculates a smoothed True Range (TR) over a user-defined period (TR Length) before applying the final ATR moving average (ATR Length & ATR Smooth).
Normalization (Percentage Volatility): An optional 'Normalize' mode calculates the ATR as a percentage of the price. This allows for consistent volatility comparison across different assets and over long time periods.
Volatility Pivot Detection: The indicator includes a built-in pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in the ATR line itself, signaling potential shifts in volatility.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed. This is essential for ensuring the signal is non-repainting but introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF ATR Line: The ATR line itself can be calculated on a different timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes alerts that trigger when a new volatility pivot (high or low) is detected in the ATR line.

Volume Weighted Price OscillatorThis indicator calculates the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO), a momentum oscillator similar to the MACD. It displays the distance between two moving averages as a percentage, making it comparable across different assets. This implementation enhances the PPO with optional volume weighting and a built-in divergence engine.
Key Features:
Customizable MA & Volume Weighting: Both the fast and slow moving averages (and the signal line) can be customized using different MA types (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA). An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all three MAs.
MACD-Style Display: Provides the three core components: the PPO line (momentum), a signal line (trigger), and a histogram (momentum acceleration). The histogram is color-coded to show increasing or decreasing momentum.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in divergence engine automatically detects and plots all three major divergence classes between price and the PPO line:
Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the PPO level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF PPO Lines: The PPO, signal line, and histogram can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The PPO line crossing its signal line.
The PPO line crossing the zero line.
The histogram changing direction (reverting).

Volume Weighted Stochastic RSIThis indicator calculates the Stochastic RSI, enhanced with optional Volume Weighting (VWStochRSI). It measures the level of a (Volume-Weighted) RSI relative to its high-low range over a set period, providing a sensitive momentum oscillator.
Key Features:
Volume-Weighted Core: The indicator is built on a Relative Strength Index (RSI) that can be optionally volume-weighted (Volume weighted).
Customizable Smoothing: The %K and %D lines are smoothed using a customizable moving average. The MA type (Smooth Method) can be selected (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA) and will also be volume-weighted if the main Volume weighted option is enabled.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): The primary feature is the integrated divergence engine. It automatically detects and plots all three major types of divergences:
Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the %K line level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF VWStochRSI Lines: The %K and %D lines can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 20 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The %K line crossing the %D line.
The %K line crossing the Overbought, Oversold, or 50-level lines.

Volume Weighted Average PriceThis indicator provides an implementation of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), extended with layered standard deviation bands that decompose total market volatility relative to the VWAP anchor period.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator's primary feature is its ability to separate volatility, controlled by the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): Plots a single set of bands representing the standard deviation of the Source price relative to the VWAP.
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'between-bar' volatility.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of between-bar and within-bar components).
Periodic & Customizable Anchor: The VWAP calculation is session-based and resets at the beginning of a new period. The anchor timeframe (Anchor Timeframe) can be detected automatically (e.g., 'Session', 'Week') or specified manually.
Weighting Mechanism: The indicator has two levels of weighting:
The baseline is always a VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
The Volume weighted input additionally applies volume weighting to the volatility (standard deviation) calculation for the bands.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central VWAP line and the outermost calculated volatility band.

Volume Weighted Linear Regression BandThe Volume-Weighted Linear Regression Band (VWLRBd) is a volatility channel that uses a Linear Regression line as its dynamic baseline. Its primary feature is the decomposition of total volatility into two distinct components, visualized as layered bands.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a standard (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression Channel. It plots a single set of bands based on the standard deviation of the residuals (the error between the Source price and the regression line).
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used for the regression). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'residual' (trend noise) volatility, calculated proportionally.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of residual and within-bar components).
Regression Baseline (Linear / Exponential): The central line is a (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression curve. An optional 'Normalize' mode performs all calculations in logarithmic space, transforming the baseline into an Exponential Regression Curve and the bands into constant percentage deviations, suitable for analyzing growth assets.
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the regression baseline and the volatility decomposition, giving more influence to high-participation bars.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central regression line and the outermost calculated volatility band.

Volume Weighted Linear Regression ChannelThis indicator plots a dynamic channel around a Linear Regression trendline. It provides a framework for identifying the prevailing trend and assessing price extremes based on volatility.
Key Features:
Linear Regression Baseline: The channel's centerline is a (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression line. This line represents the 'best fit' for the recent price action, serving as a responsive baseline for the trend.
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator's primary feature is its ability to decompose volatility, controlled by the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): Calculates a standard linear regression channel. The bands represent the standard deviation of the residuals (the error) between the Source price and the regression line.
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used for the regression). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'residual' (trend noise) volatility, calculated proportionally.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of residual and within-bar components).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the linear regression and the volatility decomposition, giving more influence to high-participation bars.
Trend Projection: The calculated channel is plotted as a projection, which can be extended forward (Extend Forward) and backward (Extend Backward) in time to provide a visual guide for potential support and resistance.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the Source price crossing over or under the calculated upper band, lower band, and the central regression line.

Volume Weighted Bollinger BandsThis indicator provides a customizable version of Bollinger Bands, enhanced with optional volume weighting and a method for decomposing market volatility.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator's primary feature is its ability to separate total volatility, controlled by the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a customizable Bollinger Band. It calculates the standard deviation of the user-selected Source and plots a single set of bands.
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'between-bar' volatility.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of between-bar and within-bar components).
Customizable Construction: The indicator is a hybrid:
Basis Line: The central line is calculated using a selectable Moving Average type (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the basis MA and the volatility decomposition.
Logarithmic Scaling: An optional 'Normalize' mode calculates the bands on a logarithmic scale. This results in bands that maintain a constant percentage distance from the basis, suitable for analyzing exponential markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central MA line and the outermost calculated volatility band.
