VMDM - Volume, Momentum & Divergence Master [BullByte]VMDM - Volume, Momentum and Divergence Master
Educational Multi-Layer Market Structure Analysis System
Multi-factor divergence engine that scores RSI momentum, volume pressure, and institutional footprints into one non-repainting confluence rating (0-100).
WHAT THIS INDICATOR IS
VMDM is an educational indicator designed to teach traders how to recognize high-probability reversal and continuation patterns by analyzing four independent market dimensions simultaneously. Instead of relying on a single indicator that may produce frequent false signals, VMDM creates a confluence-based scoring system that weights multiple confirmation factors, helping you understand which setups have stronger technical backing and which are lower quality.
This is NOT a trading system or signal generator. It is a learning tool that visualizes complex market structure concepts in an accessible format for both coders and non-coders.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Most traders face these common challenges:
Challenge 1 - Indicator Overload: Running RSI, volume analysis, and divergence detection separately creates chart clutter and conflicting signals. You waste time cross-referencing multiple windows trying to determine if all factors align.
Challenge 2 - False Divergences: Standard divergence indicators trigger on every minor pivot, creating noise. Many divergences fail because they lack supporting evidence from volume or market structure.
Challenge 3 - Missed Context: A bullish RSI divergence means nothing if it occurs during weak volume or in the middle of strong distribution. Context determines quality.
Challenge 4 - Repainting Confusion: Many divergence scripts repaint, showing perfect historical signals that never actually triggered in real-time, leading to false confidence.
Challenge 5 - Institutional Pattern Recognition: Absorption zones, stop hunts, and exhaustion patterns are taught in trading education but difficult to identify systematically without manual analysis.
VMDM addresses all five challenges by combining complementary analytical layers into one transparent, non-repainting, confluence-weighted system with visual clarity.
WHY THIS SPECIFIC COMBINATION - MASHUP JUSTIFICATION
This indicator is NOT a random mashup of popular indicators. Each of the four layers serves a specific analytical purpose and together they create a complete market structure assessment framework.
THE FOUR ANALYTICAL LAYERS
LAYER 1 - RSI MOMENTUM DIVERGENCE (Trend Exhaustion Detection)
Purpose: Identifies when price momentum is weakening before price itself reverses.
Why RSI: The Relative Strength Index measures momentum on a bounded 0-100 scale, making divergence detection mathematically consistent across all assets and timeframes. Unlike raw price oscillators, RSI normalizes momentum regardless of volatility regime.
How It Contributes: Divergence between price pivots and RSI pivots reveals early momentum exhaustion. A lower price low with a higher RSI low (bullish regular divergence) signals sellers are losing strength even as price makes new lows. This is the PRIMARY signal generator in VMDM.
Limitation If Used Alone: RSI divergence by itself produces many false signals because momentum can remain weak during continued trends. It needs confirmation from volume and structural evidence.
LAYER 2 - VOLUME PRESSURE ANALYSIS (Buying vs Selling Intensity)
Purpose: Quantifies whether the current bar's volume reflects buying pressure or selling pressure based on where price closed within the bar's range.
Methodology: Instead of just measuring volume size, VMDM calculates WHERE in the bar range the close occurred. A close near the high on high volume indicates strong buying absorption. A close near the low indicates selling pressure. The calculation accounts for wick size (wicks reduce pressure quality) and uses percentile ranking over a lookback period to normalize pressure strength on a 0-100 scale.
Formula Concept:
Buy Pressure = Volume × (Close - Low) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Sell Pressure = Volume × (High - Close) / (High - Low) × Wick Quality Factor
Net Pressure = Buy Pressure - Sell Pressure
Pressure Strength = Percentile Rank of Net Pressure over lookback period
Why Percentile Ranking: Absolute volume varies by asset and session. Percentile ranking makes 85th percentile pressure on low-volume crypto comparable to 85th percentile pressure on high-volume forex.
How It Contributes: When a bullish divergence occurs at a pivot low AND pressure strength is above 60 (strong buying), this adds 25 confluence points. It confirms that the divergence is occurring during actual accumulation, not just weak selling.
Limitation If Used Alone: Pressure analysis shows current bar intensity but cannot identify trend exhaustion or reversal timing. High buying pressure can exist during a strong uptrend with no reversal imminent.
LAYER 3 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT PATTERNS (Volume Anomaly Detection)
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The terms "institutional footprint," "absorption," "stop hunt," and "exhaustion" used in this indicator are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price and volume behavioral patterns. These patterns are detected through technical analysis of publicly available price, volume, and bar structure data. This indicator does NOT have access to actual institutional order flow, market maker data, broker stop-loss locations, or any non-public data source. These pattern names are used because they are common terminology in trading education to describe these technical behaviors. The analysis is interpretive and based on observable price action, not privileged information.
Purpose: Detect volume anomalies and price patterns that historically correlate with potential reversal zones or trend continuation failure.
Pattern Type 1 - Absorption (Labeled as "ACCUMULATION" or "DISTRIBUTION")
Detection Criteria: Volume is more than 2x the moving average AND bar range is less than 50 percent of the average bar range.
Interpretation: High volume compressed into a tight range suggests large participants are absorbing supply (accumulation) or distribution (distribution) without allowing price to move significantly. This often precedes directional moves once absorption completes.
Visual: Colored box zone highlighting the absorption area.
Pattern Type 2 - Stop Hunt (Labeled as "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT")
Detection Criteria: Price penetrates a recent 10-bar high or low by a small margin (0.2 percent), then closes back inside the range on above-average volume (1.5x+).
Interpretation: Price briefly spikes beyond recent structure (likely triggering stop losses placed just beyond obvious levels) then reverses. This is a classic false breakout pattern often seen before reversals.
Visual: Label at the wick extreme showing hunt direction.
Pattern Type 3 - Exhaustion (Labeled as "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST")
Detection Criteria: Lower wick is more than 2.5x the body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI below 35 (sell exhaustion), OR upper wick more than 2.5x body size with volume above 1.8x average and RSI above 65 (buy exhaustion).
Interpretation: Large wicks with high volume and extreme RSI suggest aggressive buying or selling was met with equally aggressive rejection. This exhaustion often marks short-term extremes.
Visual: Label showing exhaustion type.
How These Contribute: When a divergence forms at a pivot AND one of these behavioral patterns is active, the confluence score increases by 20 points. This confirms the divergence is occurring during structural anomaly activity, not just normal price flow.
Limitation If Used Alone: These patterns can occur mid-trend and do not indicate direction without momentum context. Absorption in a strong uptrend may just be continuation accumulation.
LAYER 4 - CONFLUENCE SCORING MATRIX (Quality Weighting System)
Purpose: Translate all detected conditions into a single 0-100 quality score so you can objectively compare setups.
Scoring Breakdown:
Divergence Present: +30 points (primary signal)
Pressure Confirmation: +25 points (volume supports direction)
Behavioral Footprint Active: +20 points (structural anomaly present)
RSI Extreme: +15 points (RSI below 30 or above 70 at pivot)
Volume Spike: +10 points (current volume above 1.5x average)
Maximum Possible Score: 100 points
Why These Weights: The weights reflect reliability hierarchy based on backtesting observation. Divergence is the core signal (30 points), but without volume confirmation (25 points) many fail. Behavioral patterns add meaningful context (20 points). RSI extremes and volume spikes are secondary confirmations (15 and 10 points).
Quality Tiers:
90-100: TEXTBOOK (all factors aligned)
75-89: HIGH QUALITY (strong confluence)
60-74: VALID (meets minimum threshold)
Below 60: DEVELOPING (not displayed unless threshold lowered)
How It Contributes: The confluence score allows you to filter noise. You can set your minimum quality threshold in settings. Higher thresholds (75+) show fewer but higher-quality patterns. Lower thresholds (50-60) show more patterns but include lower-confidence setups. This teaches you to distinguish strong setups from weak ones.
Limitation: Confluence scoring is historical observation-based, not predictive guarantee. A 95-point setup can still fail. The score represents technical alignment, not future certainty.
WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS TOGETHER
Each layer addresses a limitation in the others:
RSI Divergence identifies WHEN momentum is exhausting (timing)
Volume Pressure confirms WHETHER the exhaustion is accompanied by opposite-side accumulation (confirmation)
Behavioral Footprint shows IF structural anomalies support the reversal hypothesis (context)
Confluence Scoring weights ALL factors into an objective quality metric (filtering)
Using only RSI divergence gives you timing without confirmation. Using only volume pressure gives you intensity without directional context. Using only pattern detection gives you anomalies without trend exhaustion context. Using all four together creates a complete analytical framework where each layer compensates for the others' weaknesses.
This is not a mashup for the sake of combining indicators. It is a structured analytical system where each component has a defined role in a multi-dimensional market assessment process.
HOW TO READ THE INDICATOR - VISUAL ELEMENTS GUIDE
VMDM displays up to five visual layer types. You can enable or disable each layer independently in settings under "Visual Layers."
VISUAL LAYER 1 - MARKET STRUCTURE (Pivot Points and Lines)
What You See:
Small labels at swing highs and lows marked "PH" (Pivot High) and "PL" (Pivot Low) with horizontal dashed lines extending right from each pivot.
What It Means:
These are CONFIRMED pivots, not real-time. A pivot low appears AFTER the required right-side confirmation bars pass (default 3 bars). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. The pivot only appears once it is mathematically confirmed.
The horizontal lines represent support (from pivot lows) and resistance (from pivot highs) levels where price previously found significant rejection.
Color Coding:
Green label and line: Pivot Low (potential support)
Red label and line: Pivot High (potential resistance)
How To Use:
These pivots are the foundation for divergence detection. Divergence is only calculated between confirmed pivots, ensuring all signals are non-repainting. The lines help you see historical structure levels.
VISUAL LAYER 2 - PRESSURE ZONES (Background Color)
What You See:
Subtle background color shading on bars - light green or light red tint.
What It Means:
This visualizes volume pressure strength in real-time.
Color Coding:
Light Green Background: Pressure Strength above 70 (strong buying pressure - price closing near highs on volume)
Light Red Background: Pressure Strength below 30 (strong selling pressure - price closing near lows on volume)
No Color: Neutral pressure (pressure between 30-70)
How To Use:
When a bullish divergence pattern appears during green pressure zones, it suggests the divergence is forming during accumulation. When a bearish divergence appears during red zones, distribution is occurring. Pressure zones help you filter divergences - those forming in supportive pressure environments have higher probability.
VISUAL LAYER 3 - DIVERGENCE LINES (Dotted Connectors)
What You See:
Dotted lines connecting two pivot points (either two pivot lows or two pivot highs).
What It Means:
A divergence has been detected between those two pivots. The line connects the price pivots where RSI showed opposite behavior.
Color Coding:
Bright Green Line: Bullish divergence (regular or hidden)
Bright Red Line: Bearish divergence (regular or hidden)
How To Use:
The divergence line appears ONLY after the second pivot is confirmed (delayed by right-side confirmation bars). This is intentional to prevent repainting. When you see the line appear, it means:
For Bullish Regular Divergence:
Price made a lower low (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher low (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend losing momentum
For Bullish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a higher low (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower low (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend continuation likely (pullback within uptrend)
For Bearish Regular Divergence:
Price made a higher high (second pivot higher than first)
RSI made a lower high (RSI at second pivot lower than first)
Interpretation: Uptrend losing momentum
For Bearish Hidden Divergence:
Price made a lower high (second pivot lower than first)
RSI made a higher high (RSI at second pivot higher than first)
Interpretation: Downtrend continuation likely (bounce within downtrend)
If "Show Consolidated Analysis Label" is disabled, a small label will appear on the divergence line showing the divergence type abbreviation.
VISUAL LAYER 4 - BEHAVIORAL FOOTPRINT MARKERS
What You See:
Boxes, labels, and markers at specific bars showing pattern detection.
ABSORPTION ZONES (Boxes):
Colored rectangular boxes spanning one or more bars.
Purple Box: Accumulation absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bullish close)
Red Box: Distribution absorption zone (high volume, tight range, bearish close)
If absorption continues for multiple consecutive bars, the box extends and a counter appears in the label showing how many bars the absorption lasted.
What It Means: Large volume is being absorbed without significant price movement. This often precedes directional breakouts once the absorption phase completes.
STOP HUNT MARKERS (Labels):
Small labels below or above wicks labeled "BULL HUNT" or "BEAR HUNT" (may show bar count if consecutive).
What It Means:
BULL HUNT : Price spiked below recent lows then reversed back up on volume - likely triggered sell stops before reversing
BEAR HUNT : Price spiked above recent highs then reversed back down on volume - likely triggered buy stops before reversing
EXHAUSTION MARKERS (Labels):
Labels showing "SELL EXHAUST" or "BUY EXHAUST."
What It Means:
SELL EXHAUST : Large lower wick with high volume and low RSI - aggressive selling met with strong rejection
BUY EXHAUST : Large upper wick with high volume and high RSI - aggressive buying met with strong rejection
How To Use:
These markers help you identify WHERE structural anomalies occurred. When a divergence signal appears AT THE SAME TIME as one of these patterns, the confluence score increases. You are looking for alignment - divergence + behavioral pattern + pressure confirmation = high-quality setup.
VISUAL LAYER 5 - CONSOLIDATED ANALYSIS LABEL (Main Pattern Signal)
What You See:
A large label appearing at pivot points (or in real-time mode, at current bar) containing full pattern analysis.
Label Appearance:
Depending on your "Use Compact Label Format" setting:
COMPACT MODE (Single Line):
Example: "BULLISH REGULAR | Q:HIGH QUALITY C:82"
Breakdown:
BULLISH REGULAR: Divergence type detected
Q:HIGH QUALITY: Pattern quality tier
C:82: Confluence score (82 out of 100)
FULL MODE (Multi-Line Detailed):
Example:
PATTERN DETECTED
-------------------
BULLISH REGULAR
Quality: HIGH QUALITY
Price: Lower Low
Momentum: Higher Low
Signal: Weakening Downtrend
CONFLUENCE: 82/100
-------------------
Divergence: 30
Pressure: 25
Institutional: 20
RSI Extreme: 0
Volume: 10
Breakdown:
Top section: Pattern type and quality
Middle section: Divergence explanation (what price did vs what RSI did)
Bottom section: Confluence score with itemized breakdown showing which factors contributed
Label Position:
In Confirmed modes: Label appears AT the pivot point (delayed by confirmation bars)
In Real-time mode: Label appears at current bar as conditions develop
Label Color:
Gold: Textbook quality (90+ confluence)
Green: High quality (75-89 confluence)
Blue: Valid quality (60-74 confluence)
How To Use:
This is your primary decision-making label. When it appears:
Check the divergence type (regular divergences are reversal signals, hidden divergences are continuation signals)
Review the quality tier (textbook and high quality have better historical win rates)
Examine the confluence breakdown to see which factors are present and which are missing
Look at the chart context (trend, support/resistance, timeframe)
Use this information to assess whether the setup aligns with your strategy
The label does NOT tell you to buy or sell. It tells you a technical pattern has formed and provides the quality assessment. Your trading decision must incorporate risk management, market context, and your strategy rules.
UNDERSTANDING THE THREE DETECTION MODES
VMDM offers three signal detection modes in settings to accommodate different trading styles and learning objectives.
MODE 1: "Confluence Only (Real-Time)"
How It Works: Displays signals AS THEY DEVELOP on the current bar without waiting for pivot confirmation. The system calculates confluence score from pressure, volume, RSI extremes, and behavioral patterns. Divergence signals are NOT required in this mode.
Delay: ZERO - signals appear immediately.
Use Case: Real-time scanning for high-confluence zones without divergence requirement. Useful for intraday traders who want immediate alerts when multiple factors align.
Tradeoff: More frequent signals but includes setups without confirmed divergence. Higher false signal rate. Signals can change as the bar develops (not repainting in historical bars, but current bar updates).
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the current bar. No divergence lines unless divergence happens to be present.
MODE 2: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)" - DEFAULT RECOMMENDED
How It Works: Full system engagement. Signals appear ONLY when:
A pivot is confirmed (requires right-side confirmation bars to pass)
Divergence is detected between current pivot and previous pivot
Total confluence score meets or exceeds your minimum threshold
Delay: Equal to your "Pivot Right Bars" setting (default 3 bars). This means signals appear 3 bars AFTER the actual pivot formed.
Use Case: Highest-quality, non-repainting signals for swing traders and learners who want to study confirmed pattern completion.
Tradeoff: Delayed signals. You will not receive the signal until confirmation occurs. In fast-moving markets, price may have already moved significantly by the time the signal appears.
Visual Behavior: Labels appear at the historical pivot location (in the past). Divergence lines connect the two pivots. This is the most educational mode because it shows completed, confirmed patterns.
Non-Repainting Guarantee: Yes. Once a signal appears, it never disappears or changes.
MODE 3: "Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)"
How It Works: Same as Confirmed mode but with adaptive thresholds. If confluence is very high (10 points above threshold), the signal may appear even if some factors are weak. If divergence is present but confluence is slightly below threshold (within 10 points), it may still appear.
Delay: Same as Confirmed mode (right-side confirmation bars).
Use Case: Slightly more signals than Confirmed mode for traders willing to accept near-threshold setups.
Tradeoff: More signals but lower average quality than Confirmed mode.
Visual Behavior: Same as Confirmed mode.
DASHBOARD GUIDE - READING THE METRICS
The dashboard appears in the corner of your chart (position selectable in settings) and provides real-time market state analysis.
You can choose between four dashboard detail levels in settings: Off, Compact, Optimized (default), Full.
DASHBOARD ROW EXPLANATIONS
ROW 1 - Header Information
Left: Current symbol and timeframe
Center: "VMDM "
Right: Version number
ROW 2 - Mode and Delay
Shows which detection mode you are using and the signal delay.
Example: "CONFIRMED | Delay: 3 bars"
This reminds you that signals in confirmed mode appear 3 bars after the pivot forms.
ROW 3 - Market Regime
Format: "TREND UP HV" or "RANGING NV"
First Part - Trend State:
TREND UP: 20 EMA above 50 EMA with strong separation
TREND DOWN: 20 EMA below 50 EMA with strong separation
RANGING: EMAs close together, low trend strength
TRANSITION: Between trending and ranging states
Second Part - Volatility State:
HV: High Volatility (current ATR more than 1.3x the 50-bar average ATR)
NV: Normal Volatility (current ATR between 0.7x and 1.3x average)
LV: Low Volatility (current ATR less than 0.7x average)
Third Column: Volatility ratio (example: "1.45x" means current ATR is 1.45 times normal)
How To Use: Regime context helps you interpret signals. Reversal divergences are more reliable in ranging or transitional regimes. Continuation divergences (hidden) are more reliable in trending regimes. High volatility means wider stops may be needed.
ROW 4 - Pressure
Shows current volume pressure state.
Format: "BUYING | ██████████░░░░░░░░░"
States:
BUYING : Pressure strength above 60 (closes near highs)
SELLING : Pressure strength below 40 (closes near lows)
NEUTRAL : Pressure strength between 40-60
Bar Visualization: Each block represents 10 percentile points. A full bar (10 filled blocks) = 100th percentile pressure.
Color: Green for buying, red for selling, gray for neutral.
How To Use: When pressure aligns with divergence direction (bullish divergence during buying pressure), confluence is stronger.
ROW 5 - Volume and RSI
Format: "1.8x | RSI 68 | OB"
First Value: Current volume ratio (1.8x = volume is 1.8 times the moving average)
Second Value: Current RSI reading
Third Value: RSI state
OB: Overbought (RSI above 70)
OS: Oversold (RSI below 30)
Blank: Neutral RSI
How To Use: Volume spikes (above 1.5x) during divergence formation add confluence. RSI extremes at pivots add confluence.
ROW 6 - Behavioral Footprint
Format: "BULL HUNT | 2 bars"
Shows the most recent behavioral pattern detected and how long ago.
States:
ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION: Absorption detected
BULL HUNT / BEAR HUNT: Stop hunt detected
SELL EXHAUST / BUY EXHAUST: Exhaustion detected
SCANNING: No recent pattern
NOW: Pattern is active on current bar
How To Use: When footprint activity is recent (within 50 bars) or active now, it adds context to divergence signals forming in that area.
ROW 7 - Current Pattern
Shows the divergence type currently detected (if any).
Examples: "BULLISH REGULAR", "BEARISH HIDDEN", "Scanning..."
Quality: Shows pattern quality (TEXTBOOK, HIGH QUALITY, VALID)
How To Use: This tells you what type of signal is active. Regular divergences are reversal setups. Hidden divergences are continuation setups.
ROW 8 - Session Summary
Format: "14 events | A3 H8 E3"
First Value: Total institutional events this session
Breakdown:
A: Absorption events
H: Stop hunt events
E: Exhaustion events
How To Use: High event counts suggest an active, volatile session with frequent structural anomalies. Low counts suggest quiet, orderly price action.
ROW 9 - Confluence Score (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "78/100 | ████████░░"
Shows current real-time confluence score even if no pattern is confirmed yet.
How To Use: Watch this in real-time to see how close you are to pattern formation. When it exceeds your threshold and divergence forms, a signal will appear (after confirmation delay).
ROW 10 - Patterns Studied (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "47 patterns | 12 bars ago"
First Value: Total confirmed patterns detected since chart loaded
Second Value: How many bars since the last confirmed pattern appeared
How To Use: Helps you understand pattern frequency on your selected symbol and timeframe. If many bars have passed since last pattern, market may be trending without reversal opportunities.
ROW 11 - Bull/Bear Ratio (Optimized/Full mode only)
Format: "28:19 | BULL"
Shows count of bullish vs bearish patterns detected.
Balance:
BULL: More bullish patterns detected (suggests market has had more bullish reversals/continuations)
BEAR: More bearish patterns detected
BAL: Equal counts
How To Use: Extreme imbalances can indicate directional bias in the studied period. A heavily bullish ratio in a downtrend might suggest frequent failed rallies (bearish continuation). Context matters.
ROW 12 - Volume Ratio Detail (Optimized/Full mode only)
Shows current volume vs average volume in absolute terms.
Example: "1.4x | 45230 / 32300"
How To Use: Confirms whether current activity is above or below normal.
ROW 13 - Last Institutional Event (Full mode only)
Shows the most recent institutional pattern type and how many bars ago it occurred.
Example: "DISTRIBUTION | 23 bars"
How To Use: Tracks recency of last anomaly for context.
SETTINGS GUIDE - EVERY PARAMETER EXPLAINED
PERFORMANCE SECTION
Enable All Visuals (Master Toggle)
Default: ON
What It Does: Master kill switch for ALL visual elements (labels, lines, boxes, background colors, dashboard). When OFF, only plot outputs remain (invisible unless you open data window).
When To Change: Turn OFF on mobile devices, 1-second charts, or slow computers to improve performance. You can still receive alerts even with visuals disabled.
Impact: Dramatic performance improvement when OFF, but you lose all visual feedback.
Maximum Object History
Default: 50 | Range: 10-100
What It Does: Limits how many of each object type (labels, lines, boxes) are kept in memory. Older objects beyond this limit are deleted.
When To Change: Lower to 20-30 on fast timeframes (1-minute charts) to prevent slowdown. Increase to 100 on daily charts if you want more historical pattern visibility.
Impact: Lower values = better performance but less historical visibility. Higher values = more history visible but potential slowdown on fast timeframes.
Alert Cooldown (Bars)
Default: 5 | Range: 1-50
What It Does: Minimum number of bars that must pass before another alert of the same type can fire. Prevents alert spam when multiple patterns form in quick succession.
When To Change: Increase to 20+ on 1-minute charts to reduce noise. Decrease to 1-2 on daily charts if you want every pattern alerted.
Impact: Higher cooldown = fewer alerts. Lower cooldown = more alerts.
USER EXPERIENCE SECTION
Show Enhanced Tooltips
Default: ON
What It Does: Enables detailed hover-over tooltips on labels and visual elements.
When To Change: Turn OFF if you encounter Pine Script compilation errors related to tooltip arguments (rare, platform-specific issue).
Impact: Minimal. Just adds helpful hover text.
MARKET STRUCTURE DETECTION SECTION
Pivot Left Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the LEFT of the center bar that must be higher (for pivot low) or lower (for pivot high) than the center bar for a pivot to be valid.
Example: With value 3, a pivot low requires the center bar's low to be lower than the 3 bars to its left.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 on noisy timeframes (1-minute charts) to filter insignificant pivots
Decrease to 2 on slow timeframes (daily charts) to catch more pivots
Impact: Higher values = fewer, more significant pivots = fewer signals. Lower values = more frequent pivots = more signals but more noise.
Pivot Right Bars
Default: 3 | Range: 2-10
What It Does: Number of bars to the RIGHT of the center bar that must pass for confirmation. This creates the non-repainting delay.
Example: With value 3, a pivot is confirmed 3 bars AFTER it forms.
When To Change:
Increase to 5-7 for slower, more confirmed signals (better for swing trading)
Decrease to 2 for faster signals (better for intraday, but still non-repainting)
Impact: Higher values = longer delay but more reliable confirmation. Lower values = faster signals but less confirmation. This setting directly controls your signal delay in Confirmed and Relaxed modes.
Minimum Confluence Score
Default: 60 | Range: 40-95
What It Does: The threshold score required for a pattern to be displayed. Patterns with confluence scores below this threshold are not shown.
When To Change:
Increase to 75+ if you only want high-quality textbook setups (fewer signals)
Decrease to 50-55 if you want to see more developing patterns (more signals, lower average quality)
Impact: This is your primary signal filter. Higher threshold = fewer, higher-quality signals. Lower threshold = more signals but includes weaker setups. Recommended starting point is 60-65.
TECHNICAL PERIODS SECTION
RSI Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-50
What It Does: Lookback period for RSI calculation.
When To Change:
Decrease to 9-10 for faster, more sensitive RSI that detects shorter-term momentum changes
Increase to 21-28 for slower, smoother RSI that filters noise
Impact: Lower values make RSI more volatile (more frequent extremes and divergences). Higher values make RSI smoother (fewer but more significant divergences). 14 is industry standard.
Volume Moving Average Period
Default: 20 | Range: 10-200
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating average volume. Current volume is compared to this average to determine volume ratio.
When To Change:
Decrease to 10-14 for shorter-term volume comparison (more sensitive to recent volume changes)
Increase to 50-100 for longer-term volume comparison (smoother, less sensitive)
Impact: Lower values make volume ratio more volatile. Higher values make it more stable. 20 is standard.
ATR Period
Default: 14 | Range: 5-100
What It Does: Lookback period for Average True Range calculation used for volatility measurement and label positioning.
When To Change: Rarely needs adjustment. Use 7-10 for faster volatility response, 21-28 for slower.
Impact: Affects volatility ratio calculation and visual label spacing. Minimal impact on signals.
Pressure Percentile Lookback
Default: 50 | Range: 10-300
What It Does: Lookback period for calculating volume pressure percentile ranking. Your current pressure is ranked against the pressure of the last X bars.
When To Change:
Decrease to 20-30 for shorter-term pressure context (more responsive to recent changes)
Increase to 100-200 for longer-term pressure context (smoother rankings)
Impact: Lower values make pressure strength more sensitive to recent bars. Higher values provide more stable, long-term pressure assessment. Capped at 300 for performance reasons.
SIGNAL DETECTION SECTION
Signal Detection Mode
Default: "Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)"
Options:
Confluence Only (Real-time)
Divergence + Confluence (Confirmed)
Divergence + Confluence (Relaxed)
What It Does: Selects which detection logic mode to use (see "Understanding The Three Detection Modes" section above).
When To Change: Use Confirmed for learning and non-repainting signals. Use Real-time for live scanning without divergence requirement. Use Relaxed for slightly more signals than Confirmed.
Impact: Fundamentally changes when and how signals appear.
VISUAL LAYERS SECTION
All toggles default to ON. Each controls visibility of one visual layer:
Show Market Structure: Pivot markers and support/resistance lines
Show Pressure Zones: Background color shading
Show Divergence Lines: Dotted lines connecting pivots
Show Institutional Footprint Markers: Absorption boxes, hunt labels, exhaustion labels
Show Consolidated Analysis Label: Main pattern detection label
Use Compact Label Format
Default: OFF
What It Does: Switches consolidated label between single-line compact format and multi-line detailed format.
When To Change: Turn ON if you find full labels too large or distracting.
Impact: Visual clarity vs. information density tradeoff.
DASHBOARD SECTION
Dashboard Mode
Default: "Optimized"
Options: Off, Compact, Optimized, Full
What It Does: Controls how much information the dashboard displays.
Off: No dashboard
Compact: 8 rows (essential metrics only)
Optimized: 12 rows (recommended balance)
Full: 13 rows (every available metric)
Dashboard Position
Default: "Top Right"
Options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
What It Does: Screen corner where dashboard appears.
HOW TO USE VMDM - PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
STEP 1 - INITIAL SETUP
Add VMDM to your chart
Select your detection mode (Confirmed recommended for learning)
Set your minimum confluence score (start with 60-65)
Adjust pivot parameters if needed (default 3/3 is good for most timeframes)
Enable the visual layers you want to see
STEP 2 - CHART ANALYSIS
Let the indicator load and analyze historical data
Review the patterns that appear historically
Examine the confluence scores - notice which patterns had higher scores
Observe which patterns occurred during supportive pressure zones
Notice the divergence line connections - understand what price vs RSI did
STEP 3 - PATTERN RECOGNITION LEARNING
When a consolidated analysis label appears:
Read the divergence type (regular or hidden, bullish or bearish)
Check the quality tier (textbook, high quality, or valid)
Review the confluence breakdown - which factors contributed
Look at the chart context - where is price relative to structure, trend, etc.
Observe the behavioral footprint markers nearby - do they support the pattern
STEP 4 - REAL-TIME MONITORING
Watch the dashboard for real-time regime and pressure state
Monitor the current confluence score in the dashboard
When it approaches your threshold, be alert for potential pattern formation
When a new pattern appears (after confirmation delay), evaluate it using the workflow above
Use your trading strategy rules to decide if the setup aligns with your criteria
STEP 5 - POST-PATTERN OBSERVATION
After a pattern appears:
Mark the level on your chart
Observe what price does after the pattern completes
Did price respect the reversal/continuation signal
What was the confluence score of patterns that worked vs. those that failed
Learn which quality tiers and confluence levels produce better results on your specific symbol and timeframe
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES AND ASSET CLASSES
VMDM is timeframe-agnostic and works on any asset with volume data. However, optimal performance varies:
BEST TIMEFRAMES
15-Minute to 1-Hour: Ideal balance of signal frequency and reliability. Pivot confirmation delay is acceptable. Sufficient volume data for pressure analysis.
4-Hour to Daily: Excellent for swing trading. Very high-quality signals. Lower frequency but higher significance. Recommended for learning because patterns are clearer.
1-Minute to 5-Minute: Works but requires adjustment. Increase pivot bars to 5-7 for filtering. Decrease max object history to 30 for performance. Expect more noise.
Weekly/Monthly: Works but very infrequent signals. Increase confluence threshold to 70+ to ensure only major patterns appear.
BEST ASSET CLASSES
Forex Majors: Excellent volume data and clear trends. Pressure analysis works well.
Crypto (Major Pairs): Good volume data. High volatility makes divergences more pronounced. Works very well.
Stock Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.): Excellent. Clean price action and reliable volume.
Individual Stocks: Works well on high-volume stocks. Low-volume stocks may produce unreliable pressure readings.
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.): Works well. Clear trends and reactions.
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CANNOT DO - LIMITATIONS
LIMITATION 1 - It Does Not Predict The Future
VMDM identifies when technical conditions align historically associated with potential reversals or continuations. It does not predict what will happen next. A textbook 95-confluence pattern can still fail if fundamental events, news, or larger timeframe structure override the setup.
LIMITATION 2 - Confirmation Delay Means You Miss Early Entry
In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, the non-repainting design means you receive signals AFTER the pivot is confirmed. Price may have already moved significantly by the time you receive the signal. This is the tradeoff for non-repainting reliability. You can use Real-time mode for faster signals but sacrifice divergence confirmation.
LIMITATION 3 - It Does Not Tell You Position Sizing or Risk Management
VMDM provides technical pattern analysis. It does not calculate stop loss levels, take profit targets, or position sizing. You must apply your own risk management rules. Never risk more than you can afford to lose based on a technical signal.
LIMITATION 4 - Volume Pressure Analysis Requires Reliable Volume Data
On assets with thin volume or unreliable volume reporting, pressure analysis may be inaccurate. Stick to major liquid assets with consistent volume data.
LIMITATION 5 - It Cannot Detect Fundamental Events
VMDM is purely technical. It cannot predict earnings reports, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, or other fundamental catalysts that can override technical patterns.
LIMITATION 6 - Divergence Requires Two Pivots
The indicator cannot detect divergence until at least two pivots of the same type have formed. In strong trends without pullbacks, you may go long periods without signals.
LIMITATION 7 - Institutional Pattern Names Are Interpretive
The behavioral footprint patterns are named using common trading education terminology, but they are detected through technical analysis, not actual institutional data access. The patterns are interpretations based on price and volume behavior.
CONCEPT FOUNDATION - WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS
MARKET PRINCIPLE 1 - Momentum Divergence Precedes Price Reversal
Price is the final output of market forces, but momentum (the rate of change in those forces) shifts first. When price makes a new low but the momentum behind that move is weaker (higher RSI low), it signals that sellers are losing strength even though they temporarily pushed price lower. This precedes reversal. This is a fundamental principle in technical analysis taught by Charles Dow, widely observed in market behavior.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 2 - Volume Reveals Conviction
Price can move on low volume (low conviction) or high volume (high conviction). When price makes a new low on declining volume while RSI shows improving momentum, it suggests the new low is not confirmed by participant conviction. Adding volume pressure analysis to momentum divergence adds a confirmation layer that filters false divergences.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 3 - Anomalies Mark Structural Extremes
When volume spikes significantly but range contracts (absorption), or when price spikes beyond structure then reverses (stop hunt), or when aggressive moves are met with large-wick rejection (exhaustion), these anomalies often mark short-term extremes. Combining these structural observations with momentum analysis creates context.
MARKET PRINCIPLE 4 - Confluence Improves Probability
No single technical factor is reliable in isolation. RSI divergence alone fails frequently. Volume analysis alone cannot time entries. Combining multiple independent factors into a weighted system increases the probability that observed patterns have structural significance rather than random noise.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE
By visualizing all four layers simultaneously and breaking down the confluence scoring transparently, VMDM teaches you to think in terms of multi-dimensional analysis rather than single-indicator reliance. Over time, you will learn to recognize these patterns manually and understand which combinations produce better results on your traded assets.
INSTITUTIONAL TERMINOLOGY - IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION
This indicator uses the following terms that are common in trading education:
Institutional Footprint
Absorption (Accumulation / Distribution)
Stop Hunt
Exhaustion
CRITICAL DISCLAIMER:
These terms are EDUCATIONAL LABELS for specific price action and volume behavior patterns detected through technical analysis of publicly available chart data (open, high, low, close, volume). This indicator does NOT have access to:
Actual institutional order flow or order book data
Market maker positions or intentions
Broker stop-loss databases
Non-public trading data
Proprietary institutional information
The patterns labeled as "institutional footprint" are interpretations based on observable price and volume behavior that educational trading literature often associates with potential large-participant activity. The detection is algorithmic pattern recognition, not privileged data access.
When this indicator identifies "absorption," it means it detected high volume within a small range - a condition that MAY indicate large orders being filled but is not confirmation of actual institutional participation.
When it identifies a "stop hunt," it means price briefly penetrated a structural level then reversed - a pattern that MAY have triggered stop losses but is not confirmation that stops were specifically targeted.
When it identifies "exhaustion," it means high volume with large rejection wicks - a pattern that MAY indicate aggressive participation meeting strong opposition but is not confirmation of institutional involvement.
These are technical analysis interpretations, not factual statements about market participant identity or intent.
DISCLAIMER AND RISK WARNING
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
This indicator is designed as an educational tool to help traders learn to recognize technical patterns, understand multi-factor analysis, and practice systematic market observation. It is NOT a trading system, signal service, or financial advice.
NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Past pattern behavior does not guarantee future results. A pattern that historically preceded price movement in one direction may fail in the future due to changing market conditions, fundamental events, or random variance. Confluence scores reflect historical technical alignment, not future certainty.
TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than your initial investment. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always use proper risk management including stop losses, position sizing, and portfolio diversification.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator does NOT predict future price movement. It identifies when technical conditions align in patterns that historically have been associated with potential reversals or continuations. Market behavior is probabilistic, not deterministic.
BACKTESTING LIMITATIONS
If you backtest trading strategies using this indicator, ensure you account for:
Realistic commission costs
Realistic slippage (difference between signal price and actual fill price)
Sufficient sample size (minimum 100 trades for statistical relevance)
Reasonable position sizing (risking no more than 1-2 percent of account per trade)
The confirmation delay inherent in the indicator (you cannot enter at the exact pivot in Confirmed mode)
Backtests that do not account for these factors will produce unrealistic results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why do signals appear in the past, not at the current bar
A: In Confirmed and Relaxed modes, signals appear at confirmed pivots, which requires waiting for right-side confirmation bars (default 3). This creates a delay but prevents repainting. Use Real-time mode if you want current-bar signals without pivot confirmation.
Q: Can I use this for automated trading
A: You can create alert-based automation, but understand that Confirmed mode signals appear AFTER the pivot with delay, so your entry will not be at the pivot price. Real-time mode signals can change as the current bar develops. Automation requires careful consideration of these factors.
Q: How do I know which confluence score to use
A: Start with 60. Observe which patterns work on your symbol/timeframe. If too many false signals, increase to 70-75. If too few signals, decrease to 55. Quality vs. quantity tradeoff.
Q: Do regular divergences mean I should enter a reversal trade immediately
A: No. Regular divergences indicate momentum exhaustion, which is a WARNING sign that trend may reverse, not a confirmation that it will. Use confluence score, market context, support/resistance, and your strategy rules to make entry decisions. Many divergences fail.
Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence
A: Regular divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions at extremes = potential reversal signal. Hidden divergence = price and momentum move in opposite directions during pullbacks = potential continuation signal. Hidden divergence suggests the pullback is just a correction within the larger trend.
Q: Why does the pressure zone color sometimes conflict with the divergence direction
A: Pressure is real-time current bar analysis. Divergence is confirmed pivot analysis from the past. They measure different things at different times. A bullish divergence confirmed 3 bars ago might appear during current selling pressure. This is normal.
Q: Can I use this on stocks without volume data
A: No. Volume is required for pressure analysis and behavioral pattern detection. Use only on assets with reliable volume reporting.
Q: How often should I expect signals
A: Depends on timeframe and settings. Daily charts might produce 5-10 signals per month. 1-hour charts might produce 20-30. 15-minute charts might produce 50-100. Adjust confluence threshold to control frequency.
Q: Can I modify the code
A: Yes, this is open source. You can modify for personal use. If you publish a modified version, please credit the original and ensure your publication meets TradingView guidelines.
Q: What if I disagree with a pattern's confluence score
A: The scoring weights are based on general observations and may not suit your specific strategy or asset. You can modify the code to adjust weights if you have data-driven reasons to do so.

Ultimate RSI [captainua]Ultimate RSI
Overview
This indicator combines multiple RSI calculations with volume analysis, divergence detection, and trend filtering to provide a comprehensive RSI-based trading system. The script calculates RSI using three different periods (6, 14, 24) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
The script includes optimized configuration presets for instant setup: Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading. Simply select a preset to instantly configure all settings for your trading style, or use Custom mode for full manual control. All settings include automatic input validation to prevent configuration errors and ensure optimal performance.
Configuration Presets
The script includes preset configurations optimized for different trading styles, allowing you to instantly configure the indicator for your preferred trading approach. Simply select a preset from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown menu:
- Scalping: Optimized for fast-paced trading with shorter RSI periods (4, 7, 9) and minimal smoothing. Noise reduction is automatically disabled, and momentum confirmation is disabled to allow faster signal generation. Designed for quick entries and exits in volatile markets.
- Day Trading: Balanced configuration for intraday trading with moderate RSI periods (6, 9, 14) and light smoothing. Momentum confirmation is enabled for better signal quality. Ideal for day trading strategies requiring timely but accurate signals.
- Swing Trading: Configured for medium-term positions with standard RSI periods (14, 14, 21) and moderate smoothing. Provides smoother signals suitable for swing trading timeframes. All noise reduction features remain active.
- Position Trading: Optimized for longer-term trades with extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) and heavier smoothing. Filters are configured for highest-quality signals. Best for position traders holding trades over multiple days or weeks.
- Custom: Full manual control over all settings. All input parameters are available for complete customization. This is the default mode and maintains full backward compatibility with previous versions.
When a preset is selected, it automatically adjusts RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings to match the trading style. The preset configurations ensure optimal settings are applied instantly, eliminating the need for manual configuration. All settings can still be manually overridden if needed, providing flexibility while maintaining ease of use.
Input Validation and Error Prevention
The script includes comprehensive input validation to prevent configuration errors:
- Cross-Input Validation: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than their corresponding RSI period length. If you set a smoothing length greater than or equal to the RSI length, the script automatically adjusts it to (RSI Length - 1). This prevents logical errors and ensures valid configurations.
- Input Range Validation: All numeric inputs have minimum and maximum value constraints enforced by TradingView's input system, preventing invalid parameter values.
- Smart Defaults: Preset configurations use validated default values that are tested and optimized for each trading style. When switching between presets, all related settings are automatically updated to maintain consistency.
Core Calculations
Multi-Period RSI:
The script calculates RSI using the standard Wilder's RSI formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)), where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over the specified period. Three separate RSI calculations run simultaneously:
- RSI(6): Uses 6-period lookback for high sensitivity to recent price changes, useful for scalping and early signal detection
- RSI(14): Standard 14-period RSI for balanced analysis, the most commonly used RSI period
- RSI(24): Longer 24-period RSI for trend confirmation, provides smoother signals with less noise
Each RSI can be smoothed using EMA, SMA, RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA, or Zero-Lag smoothing. Zero-Lag smoothing uses the formula: ZL-RSI = RSI + (RSI - RSI ) to reduce lag while maintaining signal quality. You can apply individual smoothing lengths to each RSI period, or use global smoothing where all three RSIs share the same smoothing length.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Thresholds:
Static thresholds (default 70/30) are adjusted based on market volatility using ATR. The formula: Dynamic OB = Base OB + (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100), Dynamic OS = Base OS - (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100). This adapts to volatile markets where traditional 70/30 levels may be too restrictive. During high volatility, the dynamic thresholds widen, and during low volatility, they narrow. The thresholds are clamped between 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The ATR is cached for performance optimization, updating on confirmed bars and real-time bars.
Adaptive RSI Calculation:
An adaptive RSI adjusts the standard RSI(14) based on current volatility relative to average volatility. The calculation: Adaptive Factor = (Current ATR / SMA of ATR over 20 periods) × Volatility Multiplier. If SMA of ATR is zero (edge case), the adaptive factor defaults to 0. The adaptive RSI = Base RSI × (1 + Adaptive Factor), clamped to 0-100. This makes the indicator more responsive during high volatility periods when traditional RSI may lag. The adaptive RSI is used for signal generation (buy/sell signals) but is not plotted on the chart.
Overbought/Oversold Fill Zones:
The script provides visual fill zones between the RSI line and the threshold lines when RSI is in overbought or oversold territory. The fill logic uses inclusive conditions: fills are shown when RSI is currently in the zone OR was in the zone on the previous bar. This ensures complete coverage of entry and exit boundaries. A minimum gap of 0.1 RSI points is maintained between the RSI plot and threshold line to ensure reliable polygon rendering in TradingView. The fill uses invisible plots at the threshold levels and the RSI value, with the fill color applied between them. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for the fill zones.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low (current low < lowest low from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a higher low (current RSI > lowest RSI from previous lookback period). Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high (current high > highest high from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a lower high (current RSI < highest RSI from previous lookback period). The script compares current price/RSI values to the lowest/highest values from the previous lookback period using ta.lowest() and ta.highest() functions with index to reference the previous period's extreme.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
An enhanced divergence detection method that uses actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and RSI. The pivot-based method uses a tolerance-based approach with configurable constants: 1% tolerance for price comparisons (priceTolerancePercent = 0.01) and 1.0 RSI point absolute tolerance for RSI comparisons (pivotTolerance = 1.0). Minimum divergence threshold is 1.0 RSI point (minDivergenceThreshold = 1.0). It looks for two recent pivot points and compares them: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low (at least 1% lower) while RSI makes a higher low (at least 1.0 point higher). This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period. When enabled, pivot-based divergence replaces the traditional method for more accurate signal generation.
Strong Divergence:
Regular divergence is confirmed by an engulfing candle pattern. Bullish engulfing requires: (1) Previous candle is bearish (close < open ), (2) Current candle is bullish (close > open), (3) Current close > previous open, (4) Current open < previous close. Bearish engulfing is the inverse: previous bullish, current bearish, current close < previous open, current open > previous close. Strong divergence signals are marked with visual indicators (🐂 for bullish, 🐻 for bearish) and have separate alert conditions.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low (current low > lowest low from previous period) but RSI makes a lower low (current RSI < lowest RSI from previous period). Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high (current high < highest high from previous period) but RSI makes a higher high (current RSI > highest RSI from previous period). These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 0.1 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired.
Volume Climax is detected when volume exceeds: Volume SMA + (Volume StdDev × Multiplier). This indicates potential capitulation moments where extreme volume accompanies price movements. Volume Dry-Up is detected when volume falls below: Volume SMA - (Volume StdDev × Multiplier), indicating low participation periods that may produce unreliable signals. The volume SMA is cached for performance, updating on confirmed and real-time bars.
Multi-RSI Synergy
The script generates signals when multiple RSI periods align in overbought or oversold zones. This creates a confirmation system that reduces false signals. In "ALL" mode, all three RSIs (6, 14, 24) must be simultaneously above the overbought threshold OR all three must be below the oversold threshold. In "2-of-3" mode, any two of the three RSIs must align in the same direction. The script counts how many RSIs are in each zone: twoOfThreeOB = ((rsi6OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi14OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi24OB ? 1 : 0)) >= 2.
Synergy signals require: (1) Multi-RSI alignment (ALL or 2-of-3), (2) Volume confirmation, (3) Reset condition satisfied (enough bars since last synergy signal), (4) Additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Separate reset conditions track buy and sell signals independently. The reset condition uses ta.barssince() to count bars since the last trigger, returning true if the condition never occurred (allowing first signal) or if enough bars have passed.
Regression Forecasting
The script uses historical RSI values to forecast future RSI direction using four methods. The forecast horizon is configurable (1-50 bars ahead). Historical data is collected into an array, and regression coefficients are calculated based on the selected method.
Linear Regression: Calculates the least-squares fit line (y = mx + b) through the last N RSI values. The calculation: meanX = sumX / horizon, meanY = sumY / horizon, denominator = sumX² - horizon × meanX², m = (sumXY - horizon × meanX × meanY) / denominator, b = meanY - m × meanX. The forecast projects this line forward: forecast = b + m × i for i = 1 to horizon.
Polynomial Regression: Fits a quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) to capture non-linear trends. The system of equations is solved using Cramer's rule with a 3×3 determinant. If the determinant is too small (< 0.0001), the system falls back to linear regression. Coefficients are calculated by solving: n×c + sumX×b + sumX²×a = sumY, sumX×c + sumX²×b + sumX³×a = sumXY, sumX²×c + sumX³×b + sumX⁴×a = sumX²Y. Note: Due to the O(n³) computational complexity of polynomial regression, the forecast horizon is automatically limited to a maximum of 20 bars when using polynomial regression to maintain optimal performance. If you set a horizon greater than 20 bars with polynomial regression, it will be automatically capped at 20 bars.
Exponential Smoothing: Applies exponential smoothing with adaptive alpha = 2/(horizon+1). The smoothing iterates from oldest to newest value: smoothed = alpha × series + (1 - alpha) × smoothed. Trend is calculated by comparing current smoothed value to an earlier smoothed value (at 60% of horizon): trend = (smoothed - earlierSmoothed) / (horizon - earlierIdx). Forecast: forecast = base + trend × i.
Moving Average: Uses the difference between short MA (horizon/2) and long MA (horizon) to estimate trend direction. Trend = (maShort - maLong) / (longLen - shortLen). Forecast: forecast = maShort + trend × i.
Confidence bands are calculated using RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) of historical forecast accuracy. The error calculation compares historical values with forecast values: RMSE = sqrt(sumSquaredError / count). If insufficient data exists, it falls back to calculating standard deviation of recent RSI values. Confidence bands = forecast ± (RMSE × confidenceLevel). All forecast values and confidence bands are clamped to 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The regression functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, division-by-zero protection, and bounds checking for all array access operations to prevent runtime errors.
Strong Top/Bottom Detection
Strong buy signals require three conditions: (1) RSI is at its lowest point within the bottom period: rsiVal <= ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod), (2) RSI is below the oversold threshold minus a buffer: rsiVal < (oversoldThreshold - rsiTopBottomBuffer), where rsiTopBottomBuffer = 2.0 RSI points, (3) The absolute difference between current RSI and the lowest RSI exceeds the threshold value: abs(rsiVal - ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod)) > threshold. This indicates a bounce from extreme levels with sufficient distance from the absolute low.
Strong sell signals use the inverse logic: RSI at highest point, above overbought threshold + rsiTopBottomBuffer (2.0 RSI points), and difference from highest exceeds threshold. Both signals also require: volume confirmation, reset condition satisfied (separate reset for buy vs sell), and all additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance).
The reset condition uses separate logic for buy and sell: resetCondBuy checks bars since isRSIAtBottom, resetCondSell checks bars since isRSIAtTop. This ensures buy signals reset based on bottom conditions and sell signals reset based on top conditions, preventing incorrect signal blocking.
Filtering System
RSI(50) Filter: Only allows buy signals when RSI(14) > 50 (bullish momentum) and sell signals when RSI(14) < 50 (bearish momentum). This filter ensures you're buying in uptrends and selling in downtrends from a momentum perspective. The filter is optional and can be disabled. Recommended to enable for noise reduction.
Trend Filter: Uses a long-term EMA (default 200) to determine trend direction. Buy signals require price above EMA, sell signals require price below EMA. The EMA slope is calculated as: emaSlope = ema - ema . Optional EMA slope filter additionally requires the EMA to be rising (slope > 0) for buy signals or falling (slope < 0) for sell signals. This provides stronger trend confirmation by requiring both price position and EMA direction.
ADX Filter: Uses the Directional Movement Index (calculated via ta.dmi()) to measure trend strength. Signals only fire when ADX exceeds the threshold (default 20), indicating a strong trend rather than choppy markets. The ADX calculation uses separate length and smoothing parameters. This filter helps avoid signals during sideways/consolidation periods.
Volume Dry-Up Avoidance: Prevents signals during periods of extremely low volume relative to average. If volume dry-up is detected and the filter is enabled, signals are blocked. This helps avoid unreliable signals that occur during low participation periods.
RSI Momentum Confirmation: Requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction before confirming signals. For buy signals, RSI must be consistently rising (recovering from oversold) over the lookback period. For sell signals, RSI must be consistently falling (declining from overbought) over the lookback period. The momentum check verifies that all consecutive changes are in the correct direction AND the cumulative change is significant. This filter ensures signals only fire when RSI momentum aligns with the signal direction, reducing false signals from weak momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Requires higher timeframe RSI to align with the signal direction. For buy signals, current RSI must be below the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. For sell signals, current RSI must be above the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades. The higher timeframe RSI is fetched using request.security() from the selected timeframe.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
RSI Centerline and Period Crossovers
RSI(50) Centerline Crossovers: Detects when the selected RSI source crosses above or below the 50 centerline. Bullish crossover: ta.crossover(rsiSource, 50), bearish crossover: ta.crossunder(rsiSource, 50). You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for these crossovers. These signals indicate momentum shifts from bearish to bullish (above 50) or bullish to bearish (below 50).
RSI Period Crossovers: Detects when different RSI periods cross each other. Available pairs: RSI(6) × RSI(14), RSI(14) × RSI(24), or RSI(6) × RSI(24). Bullish crossover: fast RSI crosses above slow RSI (ta.crossover(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum acceleration. Bearish crossover: fast RSI crosses below slow RSI (ta.crossunder(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum deceleration. These crossovers can signal shifts in momentum before price moves.
StochRSI Calculation
Stochastic RSI applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to RSI values instead of price. The calculation: %K = ((RSI - Lowest RSI) / (Highest RSI - Lowest RSI)) × 100, where the lookback is the StochRSI length. If the range is zero, %K defaults to 50.0. %K is then smoothed using SMA with the %K smoothing length. %D is calculated as SMA of smoothed %K with the %D smoothing length. All values are clamped to 0-100. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use as the source for StochRSI calculation.
RSI Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are applied to RSI(14) instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(RSI(14), BB Period), StdDev = stdev(RSI(14), BB Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around RSI that adapt to RSI volatility. When RSI touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent RSI behavior.
Noise Reduction System
The script includes a comprehensive noise reduction system to filter false signals and improve accuracy. When enabled, signals must pass multiple quality checks:
Signal Strength Requirement: RSI must be at least X points away from the centerline (50). For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below 50. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above 50. This ensures signals only trigger when RSI is significantly in oversold/overbought territory, not just near neutral.
Extreme Zone Requirement: RSI must be deep in the OB/OS zone. For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below the oversold threshold. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above the overbought threshold. This ensures signals only fire in extreme conditions where reversals are more likely.
Consecutive Bar Confirmation: The signal condition must persist for N consecutive bars before triggering. This reduces false signals from single-bar spikes or noise. The confirmation checks that the signal condition was true for all bars in the lookback period.
Zone Persistence (Optional): Requires RSI to remain in the OB/OS zone for N consecutive bars, not just touch it. This ensures RSI is truly in an extreme state rather than just briefly touching the threshold. When enabled, this provides stricter filtering for higher-quality signals.
RSI Slope Confirmation (Optional): Requires RSI to be moving in the expected signal direction. For buy signals, RSI should be rising (recovering from oversold). For sell signals, RSI should be falling (declining from overbought). This ensures momentum is aligned with the signal direction. The slope is calculated by comparing current RSI to RSI N bars ago.
All noise reduction filters can be enabled/disabled independently, allowing you to customize the balance between signal frequency and accuracy. The default settings provide a good balance, but you can adjust them based on your trading style and market conditions.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type: buy/sell (adaptive RSI crossovers), divergence (regular, strong, hidden), crossovers (RSI50 centerline, RSI period crossovers), synergy signals, and trend breaks. Each alert type has its own alertcondition() declaration with a unique title and message.
An optional cooldown system prevents alert spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type. The cooldown check: canAlert = na(lastAlertBar) OR (bar_index - lastAlertBar >= cooldownBars). If the last alert bar is na (first alert), it always allows the alert. Each alert type maintains its own lastAlertBar variable, so cooldowns are independent per signal type. The default cooldown is 10 bars, which is recommended for noise reduction.
Higher Timeframe RSI
The script can display RSI from a higher timeframe using request.security(). This allows you to see the RSI context from a larger timeframe (e.g., daily RSI on an hourly chart). The higher timeframe RSI uses RSI(14) calculation from the selected timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's RSI position relative to the larger trend.
RSI Pivot Trendlines
The script can draw trendlines connecting pivot highs and lows on RSI(6). This feature helps visualize RSI trends and identify potential trend breaks.
Pivot Detection: Pivots are detected using a configurable period. The script can require pivots to have minimum strength (RSI points difference from surrounding bars) to filter out weak pivots. Lower minPivotStrength values detect more pivots (more trendlines), while higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer but more significant trendlines). Pivot confirmation is optional: when enabled, the script waits N bars to confirm the pivot remains the extreme, reducing repainting. Pivot confirmation functions (f_confirmPivotLow and f_confirmPivotHigh) are always called on every bar for consistency, as recommended by TradingView. When pivot bars are not available (na), safe default values are used, and the results are then used conditionally based on confirmation settings. This ensures consistent calculations and prevents calculation inconsistencies.
Trendline Drawing: Uptrend lines connect confirmed pivot lows (green), and downtrend lines connect confirmed pivot highs (red). By default, only the most recent trendline is shown (old trendlines are deleted when new pivots are confirmed). This keeps the chart clean and uncluttered. If "Keep Historical Trendlines" is enabled, the script preserves up to N historical trendlines (configurable via "Max Trendlines to Keep", default 5). When historical trendlines are enabled, old trendlines are saved to arrays instead of being deleted, allowing you to see multiple trendlines simultaneously for better trend analysis. The arrays are automatically limited to prevent memory accumulation.
Trend Break Detection: Signals are generated when RSI breaks above or below trendlines. Uptrend breaks (RSI crosses below uptrend line) generate buy signals. Downtrend breaks (RSI crosses above downtrend line) generate sell signals. Optional trend break confirmation requires the break to persist for N bars and optionally include volume confirmation. Trendline angle filtering can exclude flat/weak trendlines from generating signals (minTrendlineAngle > 0 filters out weak/flat trendlines).
How Components Work Together
The combination of multiple RSI periods provides confirmation across different timeframes, reducing false signals. RSI(6) catches early moves, RSI(14) provides balanced signals, and RSI(24) confirms longer-term trends. When all three align (synergy), it indicates strong consensus across timeframes.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Volume climax detection identifies potential reversal points, while volume dry-up avoidance prevents signals during unreliable low-volume periods.
Trend filters align signals with the overall market direction. The EMA filter ensures you're trading with the trend, and the EMA slope filter adds an additional layer by requiring the trend to be strengthening (rising EMA for buys, falling EMA for sells).
ADX filter ensures signals only fire during strong trends, avoiding choppy/consolidation periods. RSI(50) filter ensures momentum alignment with the trade direction.
Momentum confirmation requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction, ensuring signals only fire when momentum is aligned. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Divergence detection identifies potential reversals before they occur, providing early warning signals. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence identifies continuation patterns, useful for trend-following strategies.
The noise reduction system combines multiple filters (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, zone persistence, RSI slope) to significantly reduce false signals. These filters work together to ensure only high-quality signals are generated.
The synergy system requires alignment across all RSI periods for highest-quality signals, significantly reducing false positives. Regression forecasting provides forward-looking context, helping anticipate potential RSI direction changes.
Pivot trendlines provide visual trend analysis and can generate signals when RSI breaks trendlines, indicating potential reversals or continuations.
Reset conditions prevent signal spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between signals. Separate reset conditions for buy and sell signals ensure proper signal management.
Usage Instructions
Configuration Presets (Recommended): The script includes optimized preset configurations for instant setup. Simply select your trading style from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown:
- Scalping Preset: RSI(4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing. Noise reduction disabled, momentum confirmation disabled for fastest signals.
- Day Trading Preset: RSI(6, 9, 14) with light smoothing. Momentum confirmation enabled for better signal quality.
- Swing Trading Preset: RSI(14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Balanced configuration for medium-term trades.
- Position Trading Preset: RSI(24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing. Optimized for longer-term positions with all filters active.
- Custom Mode: Full manual control over all settings. Default behavior matches previous script versions.
Presets automatically configure RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings. You can still manually adjust any setting after selecting a preset if needed.
Getting Started: The easiest way to get started is to select a configuration preset matching your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, or Position Trading) from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown. This instantly configures all settings for optimal performance. Alternatively, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) shows RSI(6), RSI(14), and RSI(24) with their default smoothing. Overbought/oversold fill zones are enabled by default.
Customizing RSI Periods: Adjust the RSI lengths (6, 14, 24) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (6) for scalping, standard (14) for day trading, longer (24) for swing trading. You can disable any RSI period you don't need.
Smoothing Selection: Choose smoothing method based on your needs. EMA provides balanced smoothing, RMA (Wilder's) is traditional, Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. Adjust smoothing lengths individually or use global smoothing for consistency. Note: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than the corresponding RSI period length. If you set smoothing >= RSI length, it will be auto-adjusted to prevent invalid configurations.
Dynamic OB/OS: The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Volume Confirmation: Set volume threshold to 1.2 (default) for standard confirmation, higher for stricter filtering, or 0.1 to disable volume filtering entirely.
Multi-RSI Synergy: Use "ALL" mode for highest-quality signals (all 3 RSIs must align), or "2-of-3" mode for more frequent signals. Adjust the reset period to control signal frequency.
Filters: Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter, then ADX for strongest confirmation. RSI(50) filter is useful for momentum-based strategies and is recommended for noise reduction. Momentum confirmation and multi-timeframe confirmation add additional layers of accuracy but may reduce signal frequency.
Noise Reduction: The noise reduction system is enabled by default with balanced settings. Adjust minSignalStrength (default 3.0) to control how far RSI must be from centerline. Increase requireConsecutiveBars (default 1) to require signals to persist longer. Enable requireZonePersistence and requireRsiSlope for stricter filtering (higher quality but fewer signals). Start with defaults and adjust based on your needs.
Divergence: Enable divergence detection and adjust lookback periods. Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) provides higher-quality signals. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Enable pivot-based divergence for more accurate detection using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Pivot-based divergence uses tolerance-based matching (1% for price, 1.0 RSI point for RSI) for better accuracy.
Forecasting: Enable regression forecasting to see potential RSI direction. Linear regression is simplest, polynomial captures curves, exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Adjust horizon based on your trading timeframe. Confidence bands show forecast uncertainty - wider bands indicate less reliable forecasts.
Pivot Trendlines: Enable pivot trendlines to visualize RSI trends and identify trend breaks. Adjust pivot detection period (default 5) - higher values detect fewer but stronger pivots. Enable pivot confirmation (default ON) to reduce repainting. Set minPivotStrength (default 1.0) to filter weak pivots - lower values detect more pivots (more trendlines), higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer trendlines). Enable "Keep Historical Trendlines" to preserve multiple trendlines instead of just the most recent one. Set "Max Trendlines to Keep" (default 5) to control how many historical trendlines are preserved. Enable trend break confirmation for more reliable break signals. Adjust minTrendlineAngle (default 0.0) to filter flat trendlines - set to 0.1-0.5 to exclude weak trendlines.
Alerts: Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable cooldown to prevent alert spam. Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- "sBottom" label (green): Strong bottom signal - RSI at extreme low with strong buy conditions
- "sTop" label (red): Strong top signal - RSI at extreme high with strong sell conditions
- "SyBuy" label (lime): Multi-RSI synergy buy signal - all RSIs aligned oversold
- "SySell" label (red): Multi-RSI synergy sell signal - all RSIs aligned overbought
- 🐂 emoji (green): Strong bullish divergence detected
- 🐻 emoji (red): Strong bearish divergence detected
- 🔆 emoji: Weak divergence signals (if enabled)
- "H-Bull" label: Hidden bullish divergence
- "H-Bear" label: Hidden bearish divergence
- ⚡ marker (top of pane): Volume climax detected (extreme volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- 💧 marker (top of pane): Volume dry-up detected (very low volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- ↑ triangle (lime): Uptrend break signal - RSI breaks below uptrend line
- ↓ triangle (red): Downtrend break signal - RSI breaks above downtrend line
- Triangle up (lime): RSI(50) bullish crossover
- Triangle down (red): RSI(50) bearish crossover
- Circle markers: RSI period crossovers
All markers are positioned at the RSI value where the signal occurs, using location.absolute for precise placement.
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. Multi-RSI Synergy signals (SyBuy/SySell) - Highest priority: Requires alignment across all RSI periods plus volume and filter confirmation. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Strong Top/Bottom signals (sTop/sBottom) - High priority: Indicates extreme RSI levels with strong bounce conditions. Requires volume confirmation and all filters.
3. Divergence signals - Medium-High priority: Strong divergence (with engulfing) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. Adaptive RSI crossovers - Medium priority: Buy when adaptive RSI crosses below dynamic oversold, sell when it crosses above dynamic overbought. These use volatility-adjusted RSI for more accurate signals.
5. RSI(50) centerline crossovers - Medium priority: Momentum shift signals. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
6. RSI period crossovers - Lower priority: Early momentum shift indicators. Can provide early warning but may produce false signals in choppy markets.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a synergy signal combined with divergence and volume climax provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate RSI " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- ATR and Volume SMA are cached using var variables, updating only on confirmed and real-time bars to reduce redundant calculations
- Forecast line arrays are dynamically managed: lines are reused when possible, and unused lines are deleted to prevent memory accumulation
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.rsi, ta.ema, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Array operations are minimized where possible, with direct calculations preferred
- Polynomial regression automatically caps the forecast horizon at 20 bars (POLYNOMIAL_MAX_HORIZON constant) to prevent performance degradation, as polynomial regression has O(n³) complexity. This safeguard ensures optimal performance even with large horizon settings
- Pivot detection includes edge case handling to ensure reliable calculations even on early bars with limited historical data. Regression forecasting functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, and division-by-zero protection in all mathematical operations
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data, forecast lines may accumulate if the horizon is large; consider reducing the forecast horizon if you experience performance issues. The polynomial regression performance safeguard automatically prevents performance issues for that specific regression type.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Forecast lines are forward-looking projections and should not be used as definitive predictions. They provide context but are not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Dynamic OB/OS thresholds can exceed 100 or go below 0 in extreme volatility scenarios, but are clamped to 0-100 range. This means in very volatile markets, the dynamic thresholds may not widen as much as the raw calculation suggests.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe RSI uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Regression forecasting requires at least N bars of history (where N = forecast horizon) before it can generate forecasts. Early bars will not show forecast lines.
- StochRSI calculation requires the selected RSI source to have sufficient history. Very short RSI periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochRSI values initially.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading: Select the "Swing Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode, combined with trend filter (EMA 200) and ADX filter. This configuration provides high-probability setups with strong confirmation across multiple RSI periods.
Day Trading: Select the "Day Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (6, 9, 14) with light smoothing and momentum confirmation enabled. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with Zero-Lag smoothing for fast signal detection. Enable volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5 for reliable entries. Combine with RSI(50) filter to ensure momentum alignment. Strong top/bottom signals work well for day trading reversals.
Trend Following: Enable trend filter (EMA) and EMA slope filter for strong trend confirmation. Use RSI(14) or RSI(24) with ADX filter to avoid choppy markets. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries.
Reversal Trading: Focus on divergence detection (regular and strong) combined with strong top/bottom signals. Enable volume climax detection to identify capitulation moments. Use RSI(6) for early reversal signals, confirmed by RSI(14) and RSI(24).
Forecasting and Planning: Enable regression forecasting with polynomial or exponential smoothing methods. Use forecast horizon of 10-20 bars for swing trading, 5-10 bars for day trading. Confidence bands help assess forecast reliability.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Enable higher timeframe RSI to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily RSI on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. This helps avoid counter-trend trades.
Scalping: Select the "Scalping" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing, disables noise reduction, and disables momentum confirmation for faster signals. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with minimal smoothing (or Zero-Lag) for ultra-fast signals. Disable most filters except volume confirmation. Use RSI period crossovers (RSI(6) × RSI(14)) for early momentum shifts. Set volume threshold to 1.0-1.2 for less restrictive filtering.
Position Trading: Select the "Position Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing, optimized for longer-term trades. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with all filters enabled (Trend, ADX, RSI(50), Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode provides highest-quality signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started: The fastest way to get started is to select a configuration preset that matches your trading style. Simply choose "Scalping", "Day Trading", "Swing Trading", or "Position Trading" from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown to instantly configure all settings optimally. For advanced users, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style.
Reducing Repainting: All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality: Multi-RSI Synergy signals in "ALL" mode provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across all three RSI periods. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. For more frequent signals, use "2-of-3" mode. The noise reduction system further improves signal quality by requiring multiple confirmations (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, optional zone persistence and RSI slope). Adjust noise reduction settings to balance signal frequency vs. accuracy.
Filter Combinations: Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter for trend alignment, then ADX filter for trend strength. Combining all three filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering: Set volume threshold to 0.1 or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
RSI Period Selection: RSI(6) is most sensitive and best for scalping or early signal detection. RSI(14) provides balanced signals suitable for day trading. RSI(24) is smoother and better for swing trading and trend confirmation. You can disable any RSI period you don't need to reduce visual clutter.
Smoothing Methods: EMA provides balanced smoothing with moderate lag. RMA (Wilder's smoothing) is traditional and works well for RSI. Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. WMA gives more weight to recent values. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Forecasting: Linear regression is simplest and works well for trending markets. Polynomial regression captures curves and works better in ranging markets. Exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Moving average method is most conservative. Use confidence bands to assess forecast reliability.
Divergence: Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Adjust lookback periods based on your timeframe: shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading. Pivot divergence period (default 5) controls the sensitivity of pivot detection.
Dynamic Thresholds: Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Alert Management: Enable alert cooldown (default 10 bars, recommended) to prevent alert spam. Each alert type has its own cooldown, so you can set different cooldowns for different signal types. For example, use shorter cooldown for synergy signals (high quality) and longer cooldown for crossovers (more frequent). The cooldown system works independently for each signal type, preventing spam while allowing different signal types to fire when appropriate.

DeltaBurst Locator ## DeltaBurst Locator
DeltaBurst Locator is a sponsorship detector that divides OBV impulse by price thrust, normalizes the ratio, and cross-checks it against a higher timeframe confirmation stream. The oscillator turns the abstract "is this move real?" question into a precise number, exposing accumulation, distribution, and exhaustion across futures and stocks.
HOW IT WORKS
OBV Impulse vs. Price Change – Smoothed deltas of On-Balance Volume and price are ratioed, then normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function to prevent single prints from dominating.
Signal vs. Confirmation – A short EMA produces the execution signal while a higher-timeframe request.security() feed validates whether broader flows agree.
Spectrum Classification – Expansion/compression metrics grade whether current aggression is intense or fading, while ±0.65 bands define exhaust/vacuum zones.
Slope Divergences – Linear regression slopes on both price and the ratio expose bullish/bearish sponsorship mismatches before candles reverse.
HOW TO USE IT
Breakout Validation : Only chase breakouts when both local and higher-timeframe ratios are on the same side of zero; mixed signals suggest liquidity is fading.
Absorption Trades : When the histogram spikes beyond ±0.65 but the EMA lags, expect absorption; combine with price structure for pinpoint reversals.
News/Event Monitoring : During earnings or macro releases, watch for ratio collapses with price still rising—this flags forced moves driven by hedging rather than real demand.
VISUAL FEATURES
Color logic: Positive sponsorship fills teal, negative fills crimson against the zero line, making intent obvious at a glance.
Optional markers: Burst triangles and divergence dots can be enabled when you need explicit annotations or left off for a minimalist panel.
Compression heatmap: Background shading communicates whether the market is coiling (high compression) or erupting (low compression).
Dashboard: Displays the live ratio, higher-timeframe ratio, and agreement state to speed up scanning across tickers.
PARAMETERS
Fast Pulse Length (default: 5): Controls the smoothing window for price change detection.
Slow Equilibrium Length (default: 34): Window for expansion/compression calculation.
OBV Smooth (default: 8): Smoothing period for OBV impulse calculation.
Ratio Ceiling (default: 3.0): Controls how aggressively values saturate; raise for high-volatility tickers.
Signal EMA (default: 4): EMA period for the signal line.
Confirmation Timeframe (default: 240): Pick a higher anchor (e.g., 4H) to validate intraday moves.
Divergence Window (default: 21): Window for slope-based divergence detection.
Show Burst Markers (default: disabled): Toggle burst triangles on demand.
Show Divergence Markers (default: disabled): Toggle divergence dots on demand.
Show Delta Dashboard (default: enabled): Hide when screen space is limited; leave on for desk broadcasts.
ALERTS

CSI Cycle Swing MomentumAdaptive Ultra-Smooth Momentum (Cycle-Swing Indicator – CSI)
The Cycle-Swing Indicator (CSI) is an advanced, adaptive momentum oscillator designed to extract clean, reliable signals from market data by focusing on the swing of the dominant market cycle rather than raw momentum. By identifying and aligning with the current dominant cycle, the CSI produces a momentum curve that is exceptionally smooth, responsive, and context-aware.
Key Advantages
The CSI offers several improvements over traditional momentum-based indicators:
Ultra-smooth signal line without sacrificing responsiveness
Zero-lag behavior, enabling timely entries and exits
Pronounced turning-point precision, enhancing signal clarity
Adaptive to real market cycles, automatically adjusting to changing conditions
Reliable deviation and divergence detection, even in noisy environments
Why Standard Indicators Fall Short
Conventional oscillators often struggle in real-world market conditions:
Excessive noise leads to frequent false signals.
Added smoothing reduces noise but introduces significant lag, delaying actionable insights.
Fixed-length parameters make indicators highly sensitive to user settings—you never truly know the "right" length.
The CSI solves all these challenges through its adaptive cyclic algorithm, which automatically aligns itself with the market’s dominant cycle—no manual tuning required.
Practical Example
In the example chart, the CSI highlights clear turning points and deviations with far less noise than the standard momentum indicator, demonstrating its superior clarity and responsiveness.
How to Use
The CSI is fully adaptive and requires no parameters. Simply apply it to any symbol and timeframe—the indicator automatically detects the dominant cycle and produces an ultra-smooth, cycle-aligned momentum curve.
Included features:
Adaptive upper and lower bands identifying extreme conditions
Automatic divergence detection (toggle on/off)
Works on any timeframe and any asset
Adaptive length - no input parameter required
How to Read the Indicator
The CSI functions similarly to a traditional momentum oscillator but with enhanced adaptive context:
Look for divergences between price and the CSI signal line — powerful early warnings of weakening trends or impending shifts.
Note on Divergence Signals:
The divergence markers displayed on the chart are generated using embedded pivot-based detection. Because pivots must be confirmed by price action, divergence signals can only be plotted after a pivot forms. For real-time monitoring on the latest bar, users should watch for early-forming divergences as they develop, since confirmed pivot-based divergences will always appear with a slight delay. Script parameters are available for precise adjustment of pivot detection behaviour.

Fluxion Oscillator [Kodexius]Fluxion Oscillator is a multi dimensional momentum and flow toolkit designed to highlight exhaustion, reversals and confluence in a very compact way. The script combines a normalized trend oscillator, volume sensitive money movement, a volatility gauge and a visual confluence gauge that all sit in a single pane.
Instead of focusing on a single signal, Fluxion looks at the interaction between price, momentum and volume. The core oscillator tracks the relationship between a fast and a slow response of price, then rescales it into a stable 0 to 100 band. A companion flow line tracks how actively price is being supported or pressured by volume. On top of that, a volatility based gauge and an overbought or oversold reversal layer help highlight when moves are stretched and vulnerable.
The result is an environment where you can quickly see:
-When momentum is expanding or fading
-When price swings are supported or rejected by volume
-Where local tops or bottoms can be forming through divergence
-How strong the current push is in the context of recent volatility
-A compact gauge that visually ranks the current state from “minimum” to “maximum” pressure
It is not a trading system by itself, but a framework that makes it much easier to build rules and confluence around your own strategy.
⭐ Features
Normalized Fluxion Oscillator
Core oscillator built from the difference between a fast and a slow smoothing of the chosen source.
Automatically normalized into a bounded range so it behaves consistently across symbols and timeframes.
Dual line structure: the main line and a signal line, making crossovers easy to read.
Dynamic fill that shifts color depending on whether the main line is above or below the signal line.
Bullish and Bearish Crosses
Visual circles highlighting when the main oscillator crosses its signal line upward or downward.
Bullish crosses emphasize potential momentum ignition after downside pressure.
Bearish crosses emphasize potential cooling of momentum after upside pressure.
Money Flow Layer
Separate line that blends price and volume over a configurable lookback.
Smoothed to reduce noise and plotted around a central balance level.
Colored region that clearly shows whether buying pressure or selling pressure dominates.
Divergence Detection Suite
Automatic detection of regular bullish and regular bearish divergences between price and the normalized oscillator.
Optional hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences for continuation setups.
Uses pivot based swing points so the lines attach to meaningful highs and lows instead of random wiggles.
All divergence types can be toggled independently so you can keep the chart as clean as you like.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
A compact gauge that evaluates where the current price sits relative to a volume weighted average and its recent typical fluctuation.
Colors shift as price moves from neutral to stretched zones in either direction.
Background highlighting above and below the oscillator scale to reflect when this gauge is in an extreme region.
Helps quickly see whether you are buying into strength after a large extension or stepping in near value.
Reversal Signals With Volume Confirmation
A higher time sensitivity reversal metric based on a 0 to 100 scale of recent price changes.
Signals are only highlighted when there is also a short burst in volume, so quiet market noise is reduced.
Bearish reversal markers appear in the upper region, bullish markers in the lower region, giving a clear visual “top” and “bottom” feel.
Confluence Gauge
Right side grid composed of horizontal bands, from “Min” at the bottom to “Max” at the top.
Each band reflects a segment of a smoothed, range based momentum reading that tracks how far price has advanced within its recent 0 to 100 window.
The currently active band is highlighted in green for bullish momentum or red for bearish momentum, depending on the relationship between fast and slow lines within that range.
A pointer and labels make it obvious where the current environment sits relative to the full range of possible conditions.
Divergence Core
Users can define the pivot length to control how strict and how far apart swing points should be.
High Customization
Adjustable lookback lengths for the core oscillator, signal smoothing and normalization.
Separate controls for money flow length and smoothing.
Optional toggles for each divergence type so you can focus only on the structures you care about.
⭐ Calculations
This section explains conceptually how Fluxion works without exposing the full underlying formula details. The goal is to help you understand what each component represents and how it behaves, so you can use it more effectively.
Fluxion Oscillator Core
The foundation of the indicator is the difference between two smoothed versions of the selected price source. One reacts more quickly to new price information, the other reacts more slowly.
When the fast curve is above the slow curve, the oscillator becomes positive, signaling that short term action is advancing faster than the background trend. When the fast curve is below the slow curve, it becomes negative, indicating short term weakness.
This raw difference is then normalized over a rolling window. The highest and lowest values in that window are used to rescale the oscillator into a 0 to 100 band. This produces a stable, comparable scale across markets and timeframes.
A secondary smoothing of the oscillator creates the signal line. The interaction between the main line and this signal is used to color the fill region and locate cross events.
Money Flow Construction
The money flow line is based on how price closes within its candle range combined with the traded volume. Up candles with strong closes and high volume contribute positively, while down candles with weak closes and high volume contribute negatively.
These contributions are aggregated over a configurable period to create a net “pressure” measure. The result represents how aggressively participants have been positioning over that window, not just whether price went up or down.
The line is then smoothed to reduce micro noise and plotted around a central balance level, here set at 50. Values above the balance zone suggest net positive pressure, values below suggest net negative pressure.
An additional internal threshold is used to detect when this pressure stays on one side of the balance area long enough to be considered an “overflow,” which helps detect sustained accumulation or distribution phases.
Volatility and Positioning Gauge
The gauge computes a volume weighted average price over a user defined period. This gives more weight to prices at which more volume was traded.
It then evaluates how far the current price is from that volume weighted center, relative to the typical price variation around it. This creates a standardized distance measure that tells you how stretched price is from its recent fair zone.
When the distance becomes significantly positive, the market is considered extended upward. When it becomes significantly negative, it is extended downward. Intermediate thresholds are used to create “warning” and “extreme” zones.
Background fills at the top and bottom of the panel change based on this standardized distance, visually indicating when the market is moving into overextended territory that often precedes mean reversion or at least slowing of the move.
Reversal Metric With Volume Filter
A separate 0 to 100 style momentum score is calculated over a mid length window. It evaluates recent gains and losses in price to produce a relative strength measure of the current move.
Upper and lower thresholds on this score are used to mark areas where price action is historically stretched to the upside or downside.
This alone would generate many signals, so a volume based filter is added. Reversal markers are only displayed when this momentum score is in an extreme area and volume has shown a short term pickup.
This combination gives more weight to reversals that occur during active trading, where trapped positions and forced unwinds are more likely.
Divergence Engine
The divergence logic scans for swing highs and swing lows in the normalized oscillator and in price. Swing points are defined by requiring a certain number of bars on both sides of the pivot, which you can configure via the divergence length input.
For regular bullish divergence:
Price makes a lower low, indicating apparent weakness.
The oscillator makes a higher low over the same general region, indicating that internal momentum is actually improving.
If both conditions are met within a valid bar distance, a bullish divergence line is drawn from the prior oscillator pivot to the new one.
For regular bearish divergence:
Price makes a higher high, suggesting continued strength.
The oscillator makes a lower high, showing that underlying momentum is waning.
The engine checks that both pivot structures appear within an allowed time frame, then draws a bearish line between the oscillator peaks.
Hidden divergences are handled in a similar way, except the direction of price and oscillator swings is reversed, which makes them suitable for trend continuation contexts instead of reversal contexts.
Confluence Gauge
The grid on the right converts a smoothed, range based momentum reading into ten equal bands. This momentum reading looks at where the current value sits between the lowest and highest readings of a recent window, then rescales it into a 0 to 100 scale.
That 0 to 100 value is divided into ten slices of ten points each. For example, 0 to 10 is the lowest band, 90 to 100 is the top band.
The algorithm then checks whether the fast component of this reading is above or below its slower companion. If fast is above slow, it is treated as bullish pressure and the active band is colored in green. If fast is below slow, it is treated as bearish pressure and the active band is colored in red.
A pointer label is placed alongside the active band and “Max” and “Min” markers are drawn above and below the grid. This creates a compact visual where you can quickly gauge if the current state is closer to the lower boundary of recent conditions or to the upper boundary, along with its directional bias.
Normalization And Scaling
Several internal components use rolling highest and lowest values to transform raw readings into normalized percentages. This includes the main oscillator and the range based momentum used by the confluence gauge.
The key idea is to express conditions relative to what has recently been possible on that instrument and timeframe instead of using absolute fixed thresholds. This makes Fluxion adaptive and more robust when switching between assets with different volatility profiles.

SMT Divergence - Time & Calendar CyclesSMT Divergence - Time & Calendar Cycles
This indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect SMT divergences across multiple fractal structures.
It is powered by a proprietary Cycle Engine, which utilizes a dual-layer processing system to filter, rank, and render divergences based on strict Time Cycles (e.g., 90-minute rolling windows) and Calendar Cycles (e.g., Daily/Weekly structure).
Specifically engineered for precision analysis, this tool features a proprietary architecture that separates permanent historical data from real-time price action, ensuring both backtesting reliability and live execution speed.
1. Core Concept: Automated SMT Detection
SMT Divergences occur when correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price action at key structural pivots. For example, if the Nasdaq (NQ) makes a higher high while the S&P 500 (ES) fails to do so, this crack in correlation can signal an engineered liquidity grab or an impending reversal.
This indicator automates this analysis by comparing the Main Chart against up to three user-defined "Witness" symbols. It supports Direct Correlation (e.g., NQ vs. ES) and Inverse Correlation (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY), where the logic automatically inverts to flag Higher Highs vs. Higher Highs as valid divergences. It also features unique "Witness vs. Witness" logic, which cross-verifies the comparison symbols against each other (e.g., Symbol 1 vs. Symbol 2) to find internal market weakness, even if the main chart is currently neutral.
2. How It Works: The Dual-Engine System
To accurately map fractal price action, the indicator splits its logic into two distinct engines which run simultaneously:
2.1 Time Cycles (Intraday Analysis)
Designed for Intraday Macro analysis (targeting specific time windows like 90-minute or 30-minute cycles). These cycles are strictly bound to a user-defined trading session (e.g., 09:30 - 16:00) and repeat continuously (roll over) throughout the entire window until the session ends. At the beginning of every new session, all Time Cycle data is cleared. This ensures that the indicator searches for fresh liquidity voids specific to the current trading day, preventing data pollution from previous days.
2.2 Calendar Cycles (Macro Analysis)
Designed for Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural analysis, monitoring Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly periods. Unlike Time Cycles, Calendar Cycles utilize persistent data arrays that survive session resets. This allows the tool to detect Multi-Day or Multi-Week divergences effectively. It offers smart calculation modes, including "Exchange Session" to prevent ghost lines on Futures charts.
3. The Unified SMT Visualization Architecture
The system's core achievement is the Fractal Time Synthesis , unifying micro (Intraday) and macro (Calendar) analysis by simultaneously projecting divergence signals from Session-Anchored Time Cycles and Continuous Calendar Cycles onto a single chart view. This provides immediate, comprehensive multi-timeframe structural bias verification.
The structural data is clearly delineated into two states: the correct past and the correct live divergences. Divergences from completed cycles are displayed as a definitive record, providing non-repainting historical validation. Concurrently, setups forming currently are tracked dynamically, ensuring real-time responsiveness for analysis across all cycles being monitored.
4. How To Use This Tool
Configuration: Set your Timezone and Session Start/End times in the settings. This ensures the "Time Cycles" align correctly with your specific market.
Select Symbols: Input your comparison symbols (e.g., ES, YM, or inversely DXY). Ensure the "Inverse" toggle is checked for negatively correlated assets.
Cycle Selection: Enable the specific cycles relevant to your strategy (e.g., Daily + 90m Macro).
Render History: Always scroll the chart back to the very beginning of your available price history after loading the indicator or changing timeframes. This ensures the maximum historical data is processed for accurate divergence calculation.
Interpretation - The system flags two conditions: 'Bearish SMT' (Price makes a Higher High, but the correlated asset makes a Lower High) & 'Bullish SMT' (Price makes a Lower Low, but the correlated asset makes a Higher Low)
Confluence: Use the "Live" lines for real-time analysis, and refer to the "Historian" lines to understand the higher timeframe bias.
5. Key Features
5.1 Multi-Symbol & Correlation
Triple-Check Logic: Capable of comparing the Main Chart against Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 simultaneously.
Cross-Symbol Check: The script can optionally validate Symbol 1 against Symbol 2 (e.g., checking ES vs. YM) and plot the result on your NQ chart, giving you a complete market breadth view.
5.2 Structural Range Validation
The script includes strict validation logic to ensure high-quality data. It automatically verifies that the detected highs and lows are the true extremes of the cycle range. If price action within the cycle breaches the anchor points, the signal is considered structurally invalid and will not be drawn.
This validation process is dynamically controlled by the Lookback Cycles setting. Users define the exact number of preceding historical cycles the current structure must be compared against (e.g., comparing against the last 9 cycles), allowing for customization of the structural depth.
5.3 Professional Drawing & Chart Management
Collision Engine: A proprietary memory map tracks every pixel drawn on the chart. If a lower timeframe cycle tries to draw over a higher timeframe cycle, the engine blocks or suppresses the lower priority signal based on your settings.
Data Integrity: The script automatically validates cycle duration to ensure signals do not span across abnormal time gaps or missing data.
Garbage Collection: The script actively manages internal memory to prevent crashes, allowing for deep backtesting history on lower timeframes.
5.4 Full Customization
Adaptive Coloring: Labels and text automatically switch between black and white based on your background brightness to ensure readability.
Visual Control: Fully customizable line styles, widths, and colors for every individual cycle.

SMT Alert MTF [Elykia]SMT Alert MTF - Smart Money Divergence Scanner
Overview
The SMT Alert MTF is an essential productivity tool for traders applying ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
An SMT divergence ("Smart Money Technique") is one of the most powerful signals to confirm a trend reversal or market manipulation. It occurs when two highly correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P500) move out of sync.
Instead of monitoring 3 different charts across 5 different timeframes manually, this indicator scans everything in the background and alerts you the moment a divergence appears.
💎 The Strategy: How to trade SMT?
SMT is not a blind entry signal; it is a confirmation tool.
1. The Context: Wait for price to reach a Key Level (POI, Order Block) or perform a Liquidity Sweep.
2. The Signal (Desynchronization):
Bullish SMT: Asset A makes a Lower Low, but correlated Asset B makes a Higher Low (Refusal to go lower). This indicates institutional accumulation.
Bearish SMT: Asset A makes a Higher High, but correlated Asset B makes a Lower High (Weakness). This indicates distribution.
Execution: Once the SMT alert triggers on your timeframe (e.g., M1 or M5), look for a Change of Character (CHoCH) to enter the trade.
Key Features & Benefits
⚡ Multi-Timeframe Scanner (MTF): Monitor up to 5 timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h) on a single chart.
🔄 Smart Asset Detection: The script automatically recognizes your current chart and selects the relevant comparison assets:
Trading NQ (Nasdaq) -> Compares with ES (S&P500).
Trading 6E (Euro) -> Compares with 6B (British Pound).
Trading Gold -> Compares with Silver.
(You can also manually override with any symbol).
👀 Visual Clarity: A divergence line is drawn directly on price action (Red for Bearish, Blue for Bullish) labeled with the divergent ticker.
🔔 Comprehensive Alerts: Set up specific alerts for each timeframe (e.g., "Alert me only for M5 or M15 SMT").
Recommended Settings
1. Enable M1, M5, and M15 timeframes for intraday scalping.
2. Keep the automatic symbol detection enabled for Indices and Futures.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Trading involves a high level of risk. SMT divergences should be used in confluence with other technical analysis factors. The author is not responsible for any financial losses.

Magic Equity Trend & PivotsMagic Equity Trend & Pivots is a robust technical analysis engine designed specifically for equity and index traders. It serves as a comprehensive "Trend & Level" companion, combining institutional Pivot Points with a proprietary EMA trend filtering system to identify high-probability setups.
How the Magic Works
This indicator simplifies complex market data into a clear visual workflow:
1. The Magic Equity Trend (Trend Identification) The script uses a weighted system to determine the dominant market direction:
Bullish Trend: Price holds above the primary Trend SMA + a Volatility Buffer (Green Zone).
Bearish Trend: Price is rejected below the Trend SMA - Buffer (Red Zone).
No-Trade Zone: When the price is trapped inside the buffer (Gray Channel), the trend is considered weak or ranging.
2. Institutional Pivot Points Price often reacts at hidden levels. This tool calculates and overlays these levels automatically:
Multi-Type Support: Choose between Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla pivots.
Timeframe Smart-Switching: Use fixed timeframes (e.g., Weekly Pivots on a Daily chart) or let the "Auto" mode decide the best reference period for your current view.
Historical Mode: Unlike standard pivots, these can be back-tested visually to see how prices respected levels in the past.
3. Precision Entry & Exit Logic Trade signals are not random; they are based on a strict confluence of "Magic" factors:
Entry Signal: Requires Trend Alignment + Fast/Slow EMA Crossover + RSI Strength (>60) + Relative Volume Spike.
Top-Up (Add-on): Detects low-risk opportunities to add to a position when price pulls back to the EMA10/20 during a strong trend.
Two-Stage Exit: Secures profits using either an ATR Trailing Stop or an Intraday RSI Breakdown, depending on your settings.
4. Divergence & Momentum
RSI Divergence: Automatically plots Regular Bullish and Bearish divergences to warn of potential reversals at tops or bottoms.
Darvas Boxes: Visualizes consolidation ranges to help identify breakouts.
5. Performance Dashboard A data table provides a snapshot of the asset's health:
Mean Reversion: Measures the % distance from key EMAs (10, 20, 50).
RVOL & ADR: Displays Relative Volume and Average Daily Range to gauge volatility.
Performance Tracker: A theoretical summary table showing how the trend signals have performed over the last 1W, 1M, and 1Y periods.
Settings & Customization
Visuals: Fully customizable colors for the Trend Cloud, Pivots, and Backgrounds.
Filters: Toggle specific filters (Volume, RSI, Trend Buffer) to adapt the sensitivity to different asset classes.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes and technical analysis assistance only. Past performance displayed in the dashboard does not guarantee future results.
Z-EMA Fusion BandsDesigned with crypto markets in mind, particularly Bitcoin , it builds on the concept that the 1-Week 50 EMA often serves as a long-term bull/bear market threshold — an area where institutional bias, momentum shifts, and cyclical rotations tend to occur.
🔹 Core Components & Synergies:
1. 1W 50 EMA (Higher Timeframe)
- This EMA is calculated on a weekly timeframe, regardless of your current chart.
- In crypto, price above the 1W 50 EMA typically aligns with long-term bull market phases, while extended periods below can signify bearish macro structure.
- The slope of the EMA is also analyzed to add directional confidence to trend strength.
2. ±1 Standard Deviation Bands
- Surrounding the 50 EMA, these bands visualize normal price dispersion relative to trend.
- When price consistently hugs or breaks outside these bands, it often reflects market expansion, volatility events, or mean-reversion opportunity.
3. Z-Score Gradient Fill
- The area between the bands is filled using a Z-score-based gradient, which dynamically adjusts color based on how far price is from the EMA (in terms of standard deviations).
- Color shifts from aqua (near EMA) to fuchsia (far from EMA) help you spot price compression, equilibrium, or overextension at a glance.
- The fill also uses transparency scaling, making it fade as price stretches further, emphasizing the core structure.
4. Directional EMA Coloring
- The EMA line itself is colored based on:
- The slope of the EMA (rising/falling)
- Whether the HTF candle is bullish or bearish
- This provides intuitive color-coded confirmation of momentum alignment or potential exhaustion.
5. Price/EMA Divergence Detection
- The script detects bullish and bearish divergence between price and the EMA (rather than using a traditional oscillator).
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, EMA makes a higher low.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, EMA makes a lower high.
- These signals often mark transitional zones where momentum fades before a trend reversal or correction.
📊 Suggested Uses:
🔸 Swing and Position Trading:
- Use the 1W 50 EMA as a macro-trend anchor.
- Stay long-biased when price is above with positive slope, and short-biased when below.
- Consider entries near band edges for mean-reversion plays, especially if confluence forms with divergence signals.
🔸 Volatility-Based Filtering:
- Use the Z-score fill to identify volatility compression (near EMA) or expansion (edge of bands).
- Combine this with breakout strategies or dynamic position sizing.
🔸 Divergence Confirmation:
- Combine divergence markers with HTF EMA slope for high-probability setups.
- Bullish div + EMA flattening/rising can signal the start of accumulation after a macro dip.
🔸 Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
- Works well as a structural overlay on intraday charts (1H, 4H, 1D).
- Use this indicator to track long-term bias while executing lower timeframe trades.
⚠️ Disclaimer:

Always use proper risk management, and combine with your own analysis, tools, and strategy. Performance in past market conditions does not guarantee future results.
Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume)Divergence Detector (MACD + Volume Confirmation)
This indicator automatically detects bullish and bearish divergences between price and MACD, enhanced with volume confirmation to filter out weak signals.
🔹 Core Logic
Pivot Detection:
The script identifies swing highs and lows (pivots) using customizable left/right lookback values.
Bullish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low.
A label "Bull Div" appears below the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bull Div 🔥".
Bearish Divergence:
Occurs when price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high.
A label "Bear Div" appears above the bar; if confirmed by high volume, it shows "Bear Div 📉".
Volume Confirmation:
The indicator checks whether the volume at the pivot bar is above the moving average of volume (customizable length).
This ensures that divergence signals are backed by strong market participation.
Inputs
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal Length – standard MACD parameters
Pivot Lookback Left/Right – defines the swing structure sensitivity
Volume MA Length – defines how volume strength is validated
Output
Labels:
🔹 Bull Div / Bull Div 🔥 → Bullish divergence (confirmed with volume)
🔹 Bear Div / Bear Div 📉 → Bearish divergence (confirmed with volume)
Tips
Works best on higher timeframes and trending markets.
Volume confirmation helps filter false divergences in low liquidity conditions.
Combine with trend or structure indicators for better trade setups.

Stochastic BTC OptimizedEnhanced Stochastic for Bitcoin (BTC) – Optimized for Daily Timeframe
This enhanced Stochastic oscillator is specifically fine-tuned for BTC/USD on the 1D timeframe, leveraging historical data from Bitstamp (2011–2025) to minimize false signals and maximize reliability in Bitcoin's volatile swings.
Unlike the classic Stochastic (14, 3, 3), this version uses optimized parameters:
- K Period = 21 – smoother reaction, better suited for BTC’s macro cycles
- D Period = 3, Smooth K = 3 – reduces noise while preserving responsiveness
- Overbought = 85, Oversold = 15 – accounts for BTC’s tendency to trend strongly within extreme zones without immediate reversal
✅ Smart Signal Logic:
Buy/sell signals appear only when %K crosses %D inside the oversold (≤15) or overbought (≥85) zones, and only the first signal is shown to avoid whipsaws.
Visual Enhancements:
- Thick lines when %K/%D are in overbought/oversold zones
- Green/red background highlights on valid signals
- Optional up/down arrows for clear entry visualization
- Customizable colors, line widths, and transparency
🔒 No alerts included – clean, focused on price action and momentum.
💡 Pro Tip: For even higher accuracy, use this indicator in combination with a long-term trend filter (e.g., EMA 200). The oscillator excels in ranging or retracement phases but should not be used alone in strong parabolic moves.
Based on Mozilla Public License v2.0 – feel free to use, modify, and share. Perfect for swing traders and long-term Bitcoin analysts seeking high-probability reversal zones.
перевод на русский
Улучшенный Stochastic для Bitcoin (BTC) — оптимизирован для дневного таймфрейма
Этот улучшенный осциллятор Stochastic специально настроен под BTC/USD на дневном графике, с учётом исторических данных Bitstamp (2011–2025), чтобы минимизировать ложные сигналы и повысить надёжность в условиях высокой волатильности биткоина.
В отличие от классического Stochastic (14, 3, 3), эта версия использует оптимизированные параметры:
- Период K = 21 — более плавная реакция, лучше соответствует макроциклам BTC
- Период D = 3, Сглаживание K = 3 — снижает шум, сохраняя отзывчивость
- Уровень перекупленности = 85, перепроданности = 15 — учитывает склонность BTC к сильным трендам в экстремальных зонах без немедленного разворота
✅ Интеллектуальная логика сигналов:
Покупка/продажа отображается только при пересечении %K и %D внутри зоны перепроданности (≤15) или перекупленности (≥85), и только первый сигнал фиксируется, чтобы избежать «хлыстов».
Улучшенная визуализация:
- Жирные линии, когда %K/%D находятся в экстремальных зонах
- Зелёный/красный фон при появлении сигналов
- Опциональные стрелки для чёткого отображения точек входа
- Настройка цветов, толщины линий и прозрачности
🔒 Без алертов — чистый инструмент, сфокусированный на цене и импульсе.
💡 Совет профессионала: для ещё большей точности используйте этот индикатор вместе с трендовым фильтром (например, EMA 200). Осциллятор лучше всего работает в фазах консолидации или отката, но не стоит применять его в одиночку во время сильных параболических движений.
На основе Mozilla Public License v2.0 — свободно используйте, модифицируйте и делитесь. Идеален для свинг-трейдеров и аналитиков Bitcoin, ищущих зоны с высокой вероятностью разворота.

QT Previous Micro Cycle Range + SSMT [bilal]Previous Micro Cycle Range + SMTs - Indicator Description
📊 Overview
This indicator tracks 22.5-minute micro cycles within ICT's Quarterly Theory framework and automatically detects Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences across correlated indices (NQ, ES, YM). It visualizes previous cycle ranges and identifies high-probability manipulation completions for precise intraday entries.
🎯 What It Does
Micro Cycle Tracking:
Divides each 90-minute session into four 22.5-minute micro quarters
Plots the previous micro cycle's High, Low, Equilibrium (EQ), and Quarter levels
Updates automatically as new micro cycles form
Works on any timeframe (recommended: 1-5 minute charts)
SMT Detection:
Compares current micro cycle vs previous micro cycle across NQ, ES, and YM
Detects Bearish SMT: Divergence at highs (signals distribution down)
Detects Bullish SMT: Divergence at lows (signals distribution up)
Draws visual SMT lines with directional arrows showing correlation/divergence
Optional SMT table showing all three indices' movements
💡 How To Use It
For Scalpers & Day Traders:
Wait for a new micro cycle to begin (lines will refresh every 22.5 minutes)
Watch for SMT formation in the current cycle
Bullish SMT = Buy signal (previous low is confirmed, expect move to previous high)
Bearish SMT = Sell signal (previous high is confirmed, expect move to previous low)
Key Concepts:
Minimum Target: Opposite extreme of previous cycle
SMT Confirmation: One or two indices sweep a level while the other(s) fail to sweep
Best Results: Trade with higher timeframe bias aligned
⚙️ Features
Customizable Display:
Toggle High/Low lines with multiple label styles (Timeframe, Label, %, Fib)
Optional Equilibrium (50%) level
Optional Quarter levels (25% / 75%)
Optional extended range projections (±50% to ±400%)
Adjustable line colors, widths, and label sizes
SMT Options:

Real-time SMT table showing all three indices
Comparison Assets:
Default: ES1! and YM1! (customize to your preference)
Set correlation type for each asset (correlated vs inverse)
Disable individual assets if needed
🔍 Understanding The Visuals
Lines:
Solid lines = Previous cycle High/Low (where price came from)
Dotted lines = EQ and Quarter levels (internal cycle structure)
Green lines = SMT divergence detected (buy/sell signal)
Labels:
▲ = Asset made higher high/low vs previous cycle
▼ = Asset made lower high/low vs previous cycle
🔺 = Inverse correlation (up when others down)
🔻 = Inverse correlation (down when others up)
SMT Logic:
If indices diverge (move opposite directions), SMT is confirmed
Bearish SMT = Highs diverge → Sell
Bullish SMT = Lows diverge → Buy
📈 Best Practices
Use on 1-5 minute charts for optimal micro cycle visualization
Combine with higher timeframe bias (Daily Cycle SSMT, session bias, etc.)
Wait for SMT confirmation before entering trades
Target previous cycle's opposite extreme as minimum profit target
Exit when opposing SMT forms or price reaches target

Stochastic Pro+ Suite📚 What Is the Stochastic Oscillator?
The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator comparing a security's closing price to its price range over a set number of periods. The %K line represents the raw stochastic value, while the %D line is a smoothed moving average of %K.
Stochastic helps identify:
Overbought and oversold conditions
Bullish and bearish crossovers
Momentum shifts before price reversals
It is widely used in both trending and ranging markets.
💡 What Makes This Suite Different?
This script supercharges the traditional stochastic with a multi-timeframe engine , divergence detection , and a highly customizable visual suite , including:
✅ Core Features:
- Multi-Timeframe (%K, %D, Spread): Pulls stochastic data from any higher timeframe for improved signal quality.
- Custom Overbought/Oversold Levels: Fully adjustable OB/OS thresholds (default: 80/20).
- %K-%D Spread Histogram: View the difference between %K and %D visually as a histogram.
- Color-coded Cross Highlights: Optional background shading for key crossover events in OB/OS zones (high probability reversal areas).
🔍 Divergence Detection (Optional):
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while %K makes higher lows.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while %K makes lower highs.
- Customizable pivot lookbacks and range filters to control divergence strictness.
- Visual divergence labels plotted directly on the oscillator.
🎛️ Fully Toggleable Visuals:
Show/hide %K, %D, OB/OS lines, spread histogram, background highlight, and divergence — all via simple checkboxes.
🔔 Alerts:
Set alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences — ideal for swing, day, or trend reversal strategies.
⚙️ Use Cases

Range Oascilator + LessDivergences + MACD+StochRSIRange Oscillator + EMA Filter
Calculates a custom oscillator based on the highest high and lowest low over a chosen period.
Generates BUY signals when the oscillator crosses up from the oversold zone and price is above the EMA.
Generates SELL signals when the oscillator crosses down from the overbought zone and price is below the EMA.
MACD (3‑10‑16 EMA Settings)
Uses fast EMA = 3, slow EMA = 10, signal EMA = 16.
Detects bullish and bearish crossovers.
These crossovers only trigger a single unified buy/sell signal if they coincide with Stochastic RSI being in oversold (for buy) or overbought (for sell) zones.
Stochastic RSI
Standard calculation with %K and %D smoothing.
Defines oversold (<20) and overbought (>80) zones.
Used both for divergence detection and as a filter for MACD signals.
Divergence Detection
RSI Divergence: Price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish), or price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish).
MACD Histogram Divergence: Price makes a lower low but MACD histogram makes a higher low (bullish), or price makes a higher high but MACD histogram makes a lower high (bearish).
Stochastic RSI Divergence: Similar logic applied to %K line.
Divergences are flagged only once per pivot to avoid repetitive signals.
Visuals
EMA plotted on chart.
BUY/SELL signals shown as triangles above/below bars.
Divergences shown as labels (e.g., “RSI BullDiv”, “MACD BearDiv”).
Unified MACD+Stoch RSI signals shown in distinct colors (lime for buy, orange for sell).
Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator is an oscillator based on the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, and tracks the maximum distance on price from bullish and bearish trendline breakouts.
The oscillator features divergences and trendline breakout detection.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on our Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which detects bullish and bearish trendlines and highlights the breaks on the chart. Now, we bring you this tool as an oscillator.
The oscillator calculates the maximum distance between the price and the break of each trendline, for both bullish and bearish cases, then calculates the delta between both.
When the oscillator is above 0, the market is in an uptrend; when it is below 0, it is in a downtrend. An ascending slope indicates positive momentum, and a descending slope indicates negative momentum.
Trendline breaks are displayed as green and red dots on the oscillator. A green dot corresponds to a bullish break of a descending trendline, and a red dot corresponds to a bearish break of an ascending trendline.
The oscillator calculation depends on two parameters from the settings panel: short and long alpha length. These parameters are used to calculate a synthetic EMA with a variable alpha for both bullish and bearish breaks. The final result is the difference between the two averages.
As shown in the image, using the same trend detection parameters but different alphas can produce very different results. The larger the alphas, the smoother the oscillator becomes, detecting bigger trends but making it less reactive.
This tool features the same trendline detection system as the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which is based on three main parameters: swing length, slope, and calculation method.
As we can see in the image above, the data collected for the oscillator calculation will be different when using different parameters. A larger length detects larger trends. A larger slope or a different calculation method also impacts the final result.
🔹 Signal Line
The signal line is a smoothed version of the oscillator; traders can choose the smoothing method and length used from the settings panel.
In the image, the signal line crossings are displayed as vertical lines. As we can see, the market usually corrects downward after a bearish crossing and corrects upward after a bullish crossing.
Traders can choose among 10 different smoothing methods for the signal line. In the image, we can see how different methods and lengths give different outputs.
🔹 Divergences
The tool features a divergence detector that helps traders understand the strength behind price movements. Traders can adjust the detection length from the settings panel.
As shown in the image, a bearish divergence occurs when the price prints higher highs, but the momentum on the histogram prints lower highs. A bullish divergence occurs when the price prints lower lows, but the histogram prints higher lows.
By adjusting the length of the divergence detector, traders can filter out smaller divergences, allowing the tool to only detect more significant ones.
The image above depicts divergences detected with different lengths; the larger the length, the bigger the divergences are detected.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Trendlines
Swing Detection Lookback: The size of the market structure used for trendline detection.
Slope: Slope steepness, a value of 0 gives horizontal levels, values larger than 1 give a steeper slope
Slope Calculation Method: Choose how the slope is calculated
🔹 Oscillator
Short Alpha Length: Synthetic EMA short period
Long Alpha Length: Synthetic EMA long period
Smoothing Signal: Choose the smoothing method and period
Divergences: Enable or disable divergences and select the detection length.
🔹 Style

Bearish: Select bearish color.
Volume HeatMap Divergence [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume HeatMap Divergence is a smart volume visualization tool that overlays normalized volume data directly on the chart. Using a color heatmap from aqua to red, it transforms raw volume into an intuitive scale — highlighting areas of weak to intense market participation. Additionally, it detects volume-based divergences from price to signal potential reversals or exhaustion zones. Combined with clear visual labeling, this tool empowers traders with actionable volume insights.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Normalized Volume Heatmap : Volume is normalized to a 0–100% scale and visually represented as candles below the chart.
float vol = volume / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(volume, 1000, 100) * 100
Bar Coloring : Price candles are dynamically colored based on volume intensity.
Volume Divergence Logic :
Bullish Divergence : Price forms a lower low, but volume forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence : Price forms a higher high, but volume forms a lower high.
Dynamic Detection Range : Customizable range ensures divergence signals are meaningful and not random.
Volume Labels : Additional info on divergence bars shows both the actual volume and its normalized % score.
🔵 FEATURES
Volume Heatmap Plot : Normalized volume values colored using a smooth gradient from aqua (low) to red (high).
Price Bar Coloring : Candlesticks on the main chart adopt the same heatmap color based on volume.
Divergence Detection :
Bullish divergence with label and low marker
Bearish divergence with label and high marker
Dual Divergence Labels :
On the volume plot : Direction (Bull/Bear), raw volume, and normalized %
On the price chart : Shape labels showing "Bull" or "Bear" at local highs/lows
Custom Inputs :
Divergence range (min & max), pivot detection distance (left/right)
Toggle to show/hide divergence labels, volume, and % text
Clear Bull/Bear Coloring : Fully customizable label and line colors for both bullish and bearish signals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the indicator as an overlay to monitor real-time volume strength using the heatmap color.
Watch for divergence markers:
Bullish divergence: Candle shows higher volume while price makes a new low
Bearish divergence: Candle shows lower volume while price makes a new high
Use the volume info labels to verify the context of divergence:
Actual volume at divergence candle
Normalized % of that volume compared to past 1000 bars
Adjust pivot sensitivity using "Pivot Left" and "Pivot Right" to tune signal frequency and lag with a right pivot length.
Use divergence zones as early warnings for potential reversals or trend shifts.
Disable or customize labels in settings depending on your charting preferences.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume HeatMap Divergence merges heatmap-style volume visualization with intelligent divergence detection — giving traders a clean yet powerful edge. By revealing hidden disconnections between price and participation, it helps users spot exhaustion moves or hidden accumulation zones before the market reacts. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or intraday strategist, this tool offers real-time clarity on who’s in control behind the candles.
Smart Divergence Engine Overlay [ChartNation]What this does
This overlay projects the Smart Divergence Engine’s confirmed RSI divergences directly on the price chart. It draws compact lines between swing points and optional BUY/SELL labels anchored to the exact pivot candles, so the signals stick to the candles when you zoom or pan.
It uses the same internal engine as the panel version (smoothed RSI + stdev bands + pivot logic) but renders the result where most traders act—on price.
How it works
RSI engine. RSI is lightly smoothed, then a 34-period SMA with stdev bands frames regime/volatility context.
Pivot confirmation. Swings are defined by Pivot Left/Right. On the bar where a pivot confirms (after Pivot Right bars), the script compares price vs RSI at that pivot bar (rsi ).
Bullish divergence: price lower low, RSI higher low.
Bearish divergence: price higher high, RSI lower high.
Overlay rendering. Lines are created between the two most recent confirmed pivots using bar indices, so drawings remain perfectly anchored to the candles.
Why this is useful
You get structure-true divergences (only after a swing is confirmed), drawn on price for immediate confluence with S/R, patterns, and candle context—no guesswork mapping from an oscillator pane.
Inputs (key)
Price Source, RSI Length (14)
Band Length (34), Band Multiplier (1.618)
Overbought / Oversold (68/32) – for internal offsets
Pivot Left / Right (10/10) – swing definition and confirmation delay
Show lines / Show labels, Line width, Bull/Bear colors
Visuals
Lines connecting the two pivots that form the divergence.
Optional BUY/SELL labels placed at the confirming pivot candle.
Alerts
Use these for automation or notifications:
Bullish Divergence (Overlay)
Bearish Divergence (Overlay)
How to use (practical)
Treat each printed divergence as context, then align with price action: break/retest, key levels, higher-timeframe bias.
In strong trends, counter-trend divergences are weaker—wait for structure shifts (e.g., HH/HL after a bull div, LH/LL after a bear div).
Notes & limitations
Signals appear after Pivot Right bars—this ties them to confirmed structure and prevents historical updating.
This is a price overlay only. If you want band/RSI context, pair it with the panel.
