Quantum Reservoir Computing

⚛ Quantum Reservoir Computing - Multi-Scale Market Analysis

OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three structural analysis kernels (Energy, Resonance, Topology) with a 6-spin reservoir computing network to provide multi-dimensional market state monitoring. It is designed to detect structural shifts, coherence alignment, and potential entry timing through visual analytics and optional signal markers.

WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
Unlike single-indicator approaches, QRC fuses complementary analysis methods and uses a reservoir computing layer (coupled oscillator network) to capture temporal market structure. The system uses entropy-compensated signal logic to maintain directional alignment across kernels with inverted mathematical properties.

HOW IT WORKS (Technical Details)

1. ENERGY KERNEL
Measures compression state through two components:
• Entropy: Volatility-normalized return distribution, inverted (low volatility = high compression energy)
• ATR Compression: Short-period ATR divided by longer-period baseline ATR
• Final Energy: Weighted average of both components, ranging 0 to 1

2. RESONANCE KERNEL
Calculates cross-timeframe coherence using:
• 6 exponential moving averages (periods: 9, 14, 20, 30, 48, 84)
• Slope calculation for each EMA
• Amplitude weighting based on user-selected mode (Close/ATR/StDev)
• Coherence Index (CI): Measures directional agreement across all timeframes
• Mode Persistence: Stability of CI over 20 bars

3. TOPOLOGY KERNEL
Analyzes path geometry through:
• Turn density: Rate of price directional changes
• Curvature: Second-order price differences normalized by ATR
• Combined into a 0-1 topology change metric

4. RESERVOIR COMPUTING (6-Spin Network)
Six coupled state variables (spins) arranged in a ring topology:
• Drive signal combines directional consensus, price z-score, volume, and ATR regime
• Each spin updates via hyperbolic tangent activation with neighbor coupling
• Psi (Ψ): Coherence measure (average pairwise spin correlation)
• Spin Direction: Signed average of all spins
• Pulse detection: Positive changes in Ψ, z-scored to detect energy releases

5. FUSION & SCORING
• Magnitude: Weighted combination of all kernels (0 to 1 scale)
• Direction: Blend of EMA slope consensus, basis slope, and spin direction (-1 to 1)
• ScoreSigned: Direction multiplied by Magnitude (drives visuals)
• GateScore: Amplified score used only for signal threshold checks
• Heat: Entanglement measure combining Ψ, CI, and Magnitude

SIGNAL LOGIC (Important: Entropy-Compensated Inversion)
Because the entropy kernel naturally inverts (low volatility = bullish compression), signal logic compensates to maintain directional alignment:
• LONG signals fire when GateScore crosses below the short threshold (bearish GateScore + bullish structure)
• SHORT signals fire when GateScore crosses above the long threshold (bullish GateScore + bearish structure)

This inversion has been visually validated through metric plotting and maintains correct alignment with Resonance and Topology kernels.

Signal gates require:
• Two-of-three pass: CI ≥ minimum, Mode Persistence ≥ minimum, Ψ ≥ minimum
• Heat ≥ minimum threshold
• OR recent pulse window active (ΔΨ edge within N bars)
• Minimum bar spacing between signals (prevents clustering)

VISUAL COMPONENTS

1. Contained Ribbon (Recommended Mode)
• Center line: Basis EMA
• Edge: Positioned by ScoreSigned value
• Fill color: Green (bullish) or Red (bearish)
• Width: ATR-adaptive with configurable floor/ceiling

2. Quantum Aurora (Multi-Layer Energy Bands)
• 5-8 harmonic layers with phase-driven oscillations
• Colors shift with Heat level (cool blue at low Heat, warm orange/magenta at high Heat)
• Creates visual texture that reflects market state dynamics

3. Interference Mesh
• Subtle oscillating overlay modulated by CI and ScoreSigned
• Provides depth perception without visual clutter

4. Resonance Cloud
• Width proportional to Coherence Index
• Wide cloud = strong cross-timeframe alignment
• Narrow cloud = weak structural coherence

5. Energy Particles
• Floating micro-dots with density mapped to Magnitude
• Color-coded by Heat level (gold/cyan/gray)
• Provides continuous conviction feedback

6. Regime Atmosphere
• Background tint indicating market mode:
- Green: Coherent trend (CI>0.65, Ψ>0.55)
- Red: Choppy regime (CI<0.45, Ψ<0.40)
- Purple: Transition state

DASHBOARDS

1. Main Dashboard (Moveable, Resizable)
• Regime indicator with color-coded status
• Horizontal meter gauges for Ψ, CI, Heat, Magnitude
• Signal strength bars for Score and Gate
• Status indicators (dots) for ΔΨ, Heat, CI health
• Directional arrows and bars-since-signal counter
• Size options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
• Position: All four corners available

2. Heat HUD (Entanglement Matrix)
• Multi-row gradient display of last N bars (configurable 10-120)
• Metrics: Heat, Psi, CI, Magnitude, Pulse Z-score, Gate proximity
• Color-coded blocks show metric intensity over time
• Live footer with current values
• Resizable and moveable

HOW TO USE

Step 1: Monitor Regime and Structure
• Check Dashboard regime indicator (Trend/Chop/Transition)
• Observe Aurora flow (smooth = stable, erratic = unstable)
• Wide Resonance Cloud indicates strong multi-timeframe alignment

Step 2: Watch Entanglement Heat
• Heat HUD shows persistent structure as amber/red runs
• Green status dots indicate healthy metrics
• Rising Heat + rising Ψ suggests mode-locking

Step 3: Confirm Gate Conditions
• Dashboard displays effective thresholds (dynamically relaxed after dry periods)
• Two-of-three gate (CI/ModePersistence/Ψ) must pass OR recent pulse active
• Strength bars show conviction level

Step 4: Interpret Signals
• Enable "Show Diagnostic Plots" to verify metric behavior on your symbols
• Signals appear as tiny triangles (green below bars = long, red above = short)
• Best confluence: Heat rising + fresh pulse cluster + strong CI

Step 5: Risk Management
• Place stops beyond opposite ribbon edge plus 0.5 ATR buffer
• Trail stops following basis ± ATR fraction while Heat/Psi remain elevated
• Exit early if CI or Ψ collapse (status dots turn yellow/red)

CUSTOMIZATION
Extensive settings available:
• Core: EMA length, ATR length, pulse thresholds, heat minimum
• Signals: Mode (Aggressive/Normal/Conservative), thresholds, spacing, gain
• Visuals: Ribbon mode, Aurora layers, particle density, all show/hide toggles
• Dashboards: Size, position for both main dashboard and heat HUD
• Diagnostics: Optional metric plots for validation

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
• This indicator does not predict future price movements
• Signals use entropy-compensated inversion (explained above); verify on your symbols
• Always backtest on your specific markets and timeframes before live trading
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Heavy visuals may impact performance on lower-end devices (use Performance toggles)
• Designed for liquid markets (major indices, forex, crypto); may underperform on illiquid symbols
• Complex system with learning curve; read full guide embedded in code

DIAGNOSTIC MODE
Enable "Show Diagnostic Plots" in settings to verify metric behavior:
• Heat, Psi, CI, Magnitude plotted in lower pane
• ScoreSigned and GateScore normalized to 0-1 scale
• Reference lines at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 for threshold context
• Observe metric alignment with price action on YOUR symbols

METHODOLOGY NOTE
The "Quantum" terminology refers to the reservoir computing methodology (coupled oscillator network), not actual quantum mechanics. The 6-spin network uses hyperbolic tangent activation functions to model temporal market structure. This is a deterministic mathematical model, not a quantum computing system.

BEST SUITED FOR
• Liquid markets: Major indices (ES, NQ), forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD), large-cap crypto (BTC, ETH)
• Timeframes: 5-minute through daily (works on all, but designed for intraday to swing)
• Trading styles: Structure-based entries, multi-timeframe confluence, visual state monitoring
• Experience level: Intermediate to advanced (complex system with learning curve)

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
• Heavy calculations (6 spins, 6 EMAs, Aurora layers, particles) may lag on lower-end devices
• Use "Dashboard Size: Tiny" and reduce "Aurora Layers" to 2-3 for better performance
• Consider disabling "Energy Particles" on mobile devices
• Script is optimized with array capping and label recycling, but complexity remains high

SUPPORT & UPDATES

• Feature requests are welcome for consideration in future updates
• Bug reports appreciated and addressed promptly
• Script will be maintained and updated as needed

FINAL REMINDERS
• This is an analytical tool, not a trading system
• Always backtest on YOUR symbols and timeframes before live use
• Use proper risk management - stops, position sizing, etc.
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Start with demo/paper trading to learn the system
