Supertrend with Coppock Curve and Dynamic Time WindowOverview
This indicator combines the **Supertrend** trend-following system with the **Coppock Curve** momentum oscillator to generate high-probability buy and sell signals. An additional **dynamic time window filter** ensures trades only occur during your specified trading hours, making it ideal for intraday traders who want to avoid low-liquidity periods.
How It Works
**Signal Generation:**
- **BUY Signal** (Green label below bar): Triggered when the Coppock Curve crosses above zero, the Supertrend confirms an uptrend, and the current time is within your specified trading window
- **SELL Signal** (Purple label above bar): Triggered when the Coppock Curve crosses below zero, the Supertrend confirms a downtrend, and the current time is within your specified trading window
**Triple Confirmation System:**
1. **Coppock Curve** - Identifies momentum shifts using rate-of-change calculations
2. **Supertrend** - Confirms the prevailing trend direction to filter false signals
3. **Time Window** - Ensures trades only occur during high-liquidity hours
Input Parameters
**Supertrend Settings:**
- **ATR Length** (Default: 19) - Period for calculating the Average True Range
- **Factor** (Default: 3.0) - Multiplier for ATR to determine Supertrend sensitivity
**Time Window Settings (Tehran Time UTC+3:30):**
- **Start Hour/Minute** (Default: 10:30) - Beginning of active trading window
- **End Hour/Minute** (Default: 22:30) - End of active trading window
Best Practices
- Works best on **trending markets** due to the Supertrend filter
- Recommended timeframes: **15min, 30min, 1H, 4H**
- Lower the Factor value (2.0-2.5) for more signals in volatile markets
- Increase the Factor value (3.5-4.0) for fewer, higher-quality signals in ranging markets
- Adjust the time window to match your market's peak liquidity hours

NEURAL FLOW INDEX — Core Energy • Momentum Stream • Pulse SyncNeural Flow Index (NFI) — Advanced Triple-Layer Reversal Framework
The Neural Flow Index (NFI) is a next-generation market oscillator designed to reveal the hidden synchronization between trend energy, cyclical momentum, and internal pulse dynamics.
It merges three powerful analytical layers into a single, normalized view:
Core Energy Curve (based on RSO logic) — captures structural trend bias and volatility expansion.
Momentum Stream (WaveTrend algorithm) — visualizes cyclical motion of price waves.
Pulse Sync (Stochastic RSI adaptation) — measures short-term momentum rhythm and overextension.
Each layer feeds into a unified flow model that adapts to both trend-following and reversal conditions. The goal is not to chase every fluctuation, but to sense where momentum, direction, and volatility converge into true inflection points.
Conceptual Mechanics
The oscillator translates complex market behavior into an elegant, multi-phase signal system:
Core Energy Curve (RSO foundation):
A smoothed dynamic field representing the overall strength and direction of market pressure.
Green energy indicates expansion (bullish dominance); red energy reflects contraction (bearish decay).
Momentum Stream (WaveTrend):
The teal line functions like an electro-wave, oscillating through phases of expansion and exhaustion.
It provides the heartbeat of the market — smooth, rhythmic, and beautifully cyclic.
Pulse Sync (Stochastic RSI):
The purple line acts as the market’s nervous pulse, reacting to micro-momentum changes before the larger trend adjusts.
It identifies micro-tops and micro-bottoms that precede major trend shifts.
When these three forces align, they create high-probability reversal zones known as Neural Nodes — regions where energy, momentum, and rhythm converge.
Trading Logic
Potential Entry Zones:
When the purple Pulse Sync line crosses the green Momentum Stream near the lower or upper bounds of the oscillator, a potential turning point forms.
Yet, these crossovers are only validated when the Core Energy histogram (RSO) simultaneously supports the same direction — confirming that energy and rhythm are synchronized.
Histogram Confirmation:
The histogram is the “voice” of the oscillator.
Rising green volume within the histogram during a Pulse-Momentum crossover suggests a legitimate upward reversal.
Conversely, expanding red energy during an upper-band cross indicates momentum exhaustion and an early short-side opportunity.
Neutral Zones:
When all three layers flatten near the zero line, the market enters an equilibrium phase — no clear trend dominance, ideal for patience and re-entry planning.
| Layer | Representation | Color | Function |
| --------------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **Core Energy Curve** | Area / Histogram | Lime-Red gradient | Trend bias & volatility energy |
| **Momentum Stream** | WaveTrend line | Teal | Cyclical flow of price |
| **Pulse Sync** | Stochastic RSI line | Purple | Short-term momentum rhythm |
Interpretation Summary
Converging Waves: Trend, momentum, and pulse move together → strong continuation.
Diverging Waves: Pulse or Momentum decouple from Core Energy → early reversal warnings.
Histogram Expansion: Confirms direction and strength of the new wave.
Crossovers at Extremes: Potential entries, especially when confirmed by energy alignment.
🪶 Philosophy Behind NFI
The Neural Flow Index is not just a technical indicator — it’s a behavioral visualization system.
Instead of focusing on lagging confirmations, it captures the neural pattern of price motion:
how liquidity flows, contracts, and expands through time.
It bridges the gap between pure mathematics and market intuition — giving traders a cinematic, harmonic view of energy transition inside price structure.
🔥 QUANT MOMENTUM SKORQUANT MOMENTUM SCORE – Description (EN)
Summary: This indicator fuses Price ROC, RSI, MACD, Trend Strength (ADX+EMA) and Volume into a single 0-100 “Momentum Score.” Guide bands (50/60/70/80) and ready-to-use alert conditions are included.
How it works
Price Momentum (ROC): Rate of change normalized to 0-100.
RSI Momentum: RSI treated as a momentum proxy and mapped to 0-100.
MACD Momentum: MACD histogram normalized to capture acceleration.
Trend Strength: ADX is direction-aware (DI+ vs DI–) and blended with EMA state (above/below) to form a combined trend score.
Volume Momentum: Volume relative to its moving average (ratio-based).
Weighting: All five components are weighted, auto-normalized, and summed into the final 0-100 score.
Visuals & Alerts: Score line with 50/60/70/80 guides; threshold-cross alerts for High/Strong/Ultra-Strong regimes.
Inputs, weights and thresholds are configurable; total weights are normalized automatically.
How to use
Timeframes: Works on any timeframe—lower TFs react faster; higher TFs reduce noise.
Reading the score:
<50: Weak momentum
50-60: Transition
60-70: Moderate-Strong (potential acceleration)
≥70: Strong, ≥80: Ultra Strong
Practical tip: Use it as a filter, not a stand-alone signal. Combine score breakouts with market structure/trend context (e.g., pullback-then-re-acceleration) to improve selectivity.

OBV with Divergence (SMA Smoother)Title: OBV Divergence with SMA Smoothing
Description:
This indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify regular (reversal) and hidden (continuation) On-Balance Volume (OBV) divergences against price action. It uses a modified OBV calculation (an OBV Oscillator) and integrates pivot analysis to automatically highlight potential turning points or trend continuations directly on your chart.
Key Features
Advanced Divergence Detection: Automatically detects and labels four types of divergences:
Regular Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend reversals.
Regular Bullish: Price makes a Lower Low (LL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher Low (HL).
Regular Bearish: Price makes a Higher High (HH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower High (LH).
Hidden Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend continuations.
Hidden Bullish: Price makes a Higher Low (HL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower Low (LL).
Hidden Bearish: Price makes a Lower High (LH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher High (HH).
OBV Oscillator: Instead of plotting the raw OBV, this script uses the difference between the OBV and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This technique centers the indicator around zero, making it easier to visualize volume momentum shifts and clearly identify peaks and troughs for divergence analysis.
Optional SMA Smoothing Line (New Feature): An added Simple Moving Average (SMA) line can be toggled on to further smooth the OBV Oscillator. Traders can use this line for crossover signals or to confirm the underlying trend of the volume momentum, reducing whipsaws.
Customizable Lookback: The indicator allows you to define the lookback periods (Pivot Lookback Left/Right) for price and oscillator pivots, giving you precise control over sensitivity. The Max/Min of Lookback Range helps filter out divergences that are too close or too far apart.

Fib OscillatorWhat is Fib Oscillator and How to Use it?
🔶 1. Conceptual Overview
The Fib Oscillator is a Fibonacci-based relative position oscillator.
Instead of measuring momentum (like RSI or MACD), it measures where price currently sits between the recent swing high and swing low, expressed as a percentage within the Fibonacci range.
In other words:
It answers: “Where is price right now within its most recent dynamic range?”
It visualizes retracement and extension zones numerically, providing continuous feedback between 0% and 100% (and beyond if extended).
🔶 2. What the Script Does
The indicator:
Automatically detects recent high and low levels using an adaptive lookback window, which depends on ATR volatility.
Calculates the current price’s position between those levels as a percentage (0–100).
Plots that percentage as an oscillator — showing visually whether price is near the top, middle, or bottom of its recent range.
Overlays Fibonacci retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) as reference zones.
Generates alerts when the oscillator crosses key Fib thresholds — which can signal retracement completion, breakout potential, or pullback exhaustion.
🔶 3. Technical Flow Breakdown
(a) Inputs
Input Description Default Notes
atrLength ATR period used for volatility estimation 14 Used to dynamically tune lookback sensitivity
minLookback Minimum lookback window (candles) 20 Ensures stability even in low volatility
maxLookback Maximum lookback window 100 Limits over-expansion during high volatility
isInverse Inverts chart orientation false Useful for inverse markets (e.g. shorts or inverse BTC view)
(b) Volatility-Adaptive Lookback
Instead of using a fixed lookback, it calculates:
lookback
=
SMA(ATR,10)
/
SMA(Close,10)
×
500
lookback=SMA(ATR,10)/SMA(Close,10)×500
Then it clamps this between minLookback and maxLookback.
This makes the oscillator:
More reactive during high volatility (shorter lookback)
More stable during calm markets (longer lookback)
Essentially, it self-adjusts to market rhythm — you don’t have to constantly tweak lookback manually.
(c) High-Low Reference Points
It takes the highest and lowest points within the dynamic lookback window.
If isInverse = true, it flips the candle logic (useful if viewing inverse instruments like stablecoin pairs or when analyzing bearish setups invertedly).
(d) Oscillator Core
The main oscillator line:
osc
=
(
close
−
low
)
(
high
−
low
)
×
100
osc=
(high−low)
(close−low)
×100
0% = Price is at the lookback low.
100% = Price is at the lookback high.
50% = Midpoint (balanced).
Between Fibonacci percentages (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), the oscillator indicates retracement stages.
(e) Fibonacci Levels as Reference
It overlays horizontal reference lines at:
0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
These act as support/resistance bands in oscillator space.
You can read it similar to how traders use Fibonacci retracements on charts, but compressed into a single line oscillator.
(f) Alerts
The script includes built-in alert conditions for crossovers at each major Fibonacci level.
You can set TradingView alerts such as:
“Oscillator crossed above 61.8%” → possible bullish continuation or breakout.
“Oscillator crossed below 38.2%” → possible pullback or correction starting.
This allows automated monitoring of fib retracement completions without manually drawing fib levels.
🔶 4. How to Use It
🔸 Visual Interpretation
Oscillator Value Zone Market Context
0–23.6% Deep Retracement Potential exhaustion of a down-move / early reversal
23.6–38.2% Shallow retracement zone Possible continuation phase
38.2–50% Mid retracement Neutral or indecisive structure
50–61.8% Key pivot region Common trend resumption zone
61.8–78.6% Late retracement Often “last pullback” area
78.6–100% Near high range Possible overextension / profit-taking
>100% Range breakout New leg formation / expansion
🔸 Practical Application Steps
Load the indicator on your chart (set overlay = false, so it’s below the main price chart).
Observe oscillator position relative to fib bands:
Use it to determine retracement depth.
Combine with structure tools:
Trend lines, swing points, or HTF market structure.
Use crossovers for timing:
Crossing above 61.8% in an uptrend often confirms breakout continuation.
Crossing below 38.2% in a downtrend signals renewed downside momentum.
For range markets, oscillator swings between 23.6% and 78.6% can define accumulation/distribution boundaries.
🔶 5. When to Use It
During Retracements: To gauge how deep the pullback has gone.
During Range Markets: To identify relative overbought/oversold positions.
Before Breakouts: Crossovers of 61.8% or 78.6% often precede impulsive moves.
In Multi-Timeframe Contexts:
LTF (15M–1H): Detect intraday retracement exhaustion.
HTF (4H–1D): Confirm major range expansions or key reversal zones.
🔶 6. Ideal Companion Indicators
The Fib Oscillator works best when contextualized with structure, volatility, and trend bias indicators.
Below are optimal pairings:
Companion Indicator Purpose Integration Insight
Market Structure MTF Tool Identify active trend direction Use Fib Oscillator only in trend direction for cleaner signals
EMA Ribbon / Supertrend Trend confirmation Align oscillator crossovers with EMA bias
ATR Bands / Volatility Envelope Validate breakout strength If oscillator >78.6% & ATR rising → valid breakout
Volume Oscillator Confirm retracement strength Volume contraction + oscillator under 38.2% → potential reversal
HTF Fib Retracement Tool Combine LTF oscillator with HTF fib confluence Powerful multi-timeframe setups
RSI or Stochastic Measure momentum relative to position RSI divergence while oscillator near 78.6% → exhaustion clue
🔶 7. Understanding the Settings
Setting Function Practical Impact
ATR Period (14) Controls volatility sampling Higher = smoother lookback adaptation
Min Lookback (20) Smallest window allowed Lower = more reactive but noisier
Max Lookback (100) Largest window allowed Higher = smoother but slower to react
Inverse Candle Chart Flips oscillator vertically Useful when analyzing bearish or inverse scenarios (e.g. short-side fib mapping)
Recommended Configs:
For scalping/intraday: ATR 10–14, lookback 20–50
For swing/position trading: ATR 14–21, lookback 50–100
🔶 8. Example Trade Logic (Practical Use)
Scenario: Uptrend on 4H chart
Oscillator drops to below 38.2% → retracement zone
Price consolidates → oscillator stabilizes
Oscillator crosses above 50% → pullback ending
Entry: Long when oscillator crosses above 61.8%
Exit: Near 78.6–100% zone or upon divergence with RSI
For Short Bias (Inverse Setup):
Enable isInverse = true to visually flip the oscillator (so lows become highs).
Use the same thresholds inversely.
🔶 9. Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
Dynamic, self-adapting to volatility
Quantifies Fib retracement as a continuous function
Compact oscillator view (no clutter on chart)
Works well across all timeframes
Compatible with both trending and ranging markets
⚠️ Limitations
Doesn’t define trend direction — must be used with structure filters
Can whipsaw during choppy consolidations
The “lookback auto-adjust” may lag in sudden volatility shifts
Shouldn’t be used standalone for entries without structural confluence
🔶 10. Summary
The “Fib Oscillator” is a dynamic Fibonacci-relative positioning tool that merges retracement theory with adaptive volatility logic.
It gives traders an intuitive, quantified view of where price sits within its recent fib range, allowing anticipation of pullbacks, reversals, or breakout momentum.
Think of it as a "Fibonacci RSI", but instead of momentum strength, it shows positional depth — the vibrational location of price within its natural swing cycle.

Velocity Pressure Index | AlphaNattVelocity Pressure Index (VPI) | AlphaNatt
A sophisticated momentum oscillator that combines price velocity analysis with volume pressure dynamics to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
📊 KEY FEATURES
Dual Analysis System: Merges price velocity measurement with volume pressure analysis for comprehensive market momentum assessment
Dynamic Normalization: Automatically scales values between -100 and +100 for consistent readings across all market conditions
Adaptive Zones: Self-adjusting overbought/oversold levels based on recent price history
Multi-Layer Confirmation: Combines momentum, acceleration, and crossover signals for robust trade identification
Volume-Weighted Pressure: Differentiates between bullish and bearish volume to gauge true market sentiment
📈 HOW IT WORKS
The VPI calculates price velocity using linear regression of price changes, then weights this velocity by the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. This creates a momentum reading that accounts for both price movement speed and the volume conviction behind it.
Signal Generation:
Price velocity is measured over the specified period
Volume is separated into bullish (close > open) and bearish (close < open) pressure
Velocity is amplified or dampened based on volume pressure differential
The resulting index is normalized to oscillate between -100 and +100
A signal line smooths the oscillator for crossover detection
🎯 TRADING SIGNALS
Long Signals (Cyan #00F1FF):
Strong Bull: VPI > Signal with positive momentum and acceleration
Crossover Bull: VPI crosses above signal while above oversold zone
Divergence: Price makes lower low while VPI makes higher low
Short Signals (Magenta #FF019A):
Strong Bear: VPI < Signal with negative momentum and deceleration
Crossover Bear: VPI crosses below signal while below overbought zone
Divergence: Price makes higher high while VPI makes lower high
⚙️ CUSTOMIZABLE PARAMETERS

Hidden Impulse═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET

- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:

Smart MACD Volume Trader# Smart MACD Volume Trader
## Overview
Smart MACD Volume Trader is an enhanced momentum indicator that combines the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) oscillator with an intelligent high-volume filter. This combination significantly reduces false signals by ensuring that trading signals are only generated when price momentum is confirmed by substantial volume activity.
The indicator supports over 24 different instruments including major and exotic forex pairs, precious metals (gold and silver), energy commodities (crude oil, natural gas), and industrial metals (copper). For forex and commodity traders, the indicator automatically maps to CME and COMEX futures contracts to provide accurate institutional-grade volume data.
## Originality and Core Concept
Traditional MACD indicators generate signals based solely on price momentum, which can result in numerous false signals during low-activity periods or ranging markets. This indicator addresses this critical weakness by introducing a volume confirmation layer with automatic institutional volume integration.
**What makes this approach original:**
- Signals are triggered only when MACD crossovers coincide with elevated volume activity
- Implements a lookback mechanism to detect volume spikes within recent bars
- Automatically detects and maps 24+ forex pairs and commodities to their corresponding CME and COMEX futures contracts
- Provides real institutional volume data for forex pairs where spot volume is unreliable
- Combines two independent market dimensions (price momentum and volume) into a single, actionable signal
- Includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats
**The underlying principle:** Volume validates price movement. When institutional money enters the market, it creates volume signatures. By requiring high volume confirmation and using actual institutional volume data from futures markets, this indicator filters out weak price movements and focuses on trades backed by genuine market participation. The automatic futures mapping ensures that forex and commodity traders always have access to the most accurate volume data available, without manual configuration.
## How It Works
### MACD Component
The indicator calculates MACD using standard methodology:
1. **Fast EMA (default: 12 periods)** - Tracks short-term price momentum
2. **Slow EMA (default: 26 periods)** - Tracks longer-term price momentum
3. **MACD Line** - Difference between Fast EMA and Slow EMA
4. **Signal Line (default: 9-period SMA)** - Smoothed average of MACD line
**Crossover signals:**
- **Bullish:** MACD line crosses above Signal line (momentum turning positive)
- **Bearish:** MACD line crosses below Signal line (momentum turning negative)
### Volume Filter Component
The volume filter adds an essential confirmation layer:
1. **Volume Moving Average** - Calculates exponential MA of volume (default: 20 periods)
2. **High Volume Threshold** - Multiplies MA by ratio (default: 2.0x or 200%)
3. **Volume Detection** - Identifies bars where current volume exceeds threshold
4. **Lookback Period** - Checks if high volume occurred in recent bars (default: 5 bars)
**Signal logic:**
- Buy/Sell signals only trigger when BOTH conditions are met:
- MACD crossover/crossunder occurs
- High volume detected within lookback period
### Automatic CME Futures Integration
For forex traders, spot FX volume data can be unreliable or non-existent. This indicator solves this problem by automatically detecting forex pairs and mapping them to corresponding CME futures contracts with real institutional volume data.
**Supported Major Forex Pairs (7):**
- EURUSD → CME:6E1! (Euro FX Futures)
- GBPUSD → CME:6B1! (British Pound Futures)
- AUDUSD → CME:6A1! (Australian Dollar Futures)
- USDJPY → CME:6J1! (Japanese Yen Futures)
- USDCAD → CME:6C1! (Canadian Dollar Futures)
- USDCHF → CME:6S1! (Swiss Franc Futures)
- NZDUSD → CME:6N1! (New Zealand Dollar Futures)
**Supported Exotic Forex Pairs (4):**
- USDMXN → CME:6M1! (Mexican Peso Futures)
- USDRUB → CME:6R1! (Russian Ruble Futures)
- USDBRL → CME:6L1! (Brazilian Real Futures)
- USDZAR → CME:6Z1! (South African Rand Futures)
**Supported Cross Pairs (6):**
- EURJPY → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPJPY → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
- EURGBP → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- AUDJPY → CME:6A1! (Uses Australian Dollar Futures)
- EURAUD → CME:6E1! (Uses Euro Futures)
- GBPAUD → CME:6B1! (Uses British Pound Futures)
**Supported Precious Metals (2):**
- Gold (XAUUSD, GOLD) → COMEX:GC1! (Gold Futures)
- Silver (XAGUSD, SILVER) → COMEX:SI1! (Silver Futures)
**Supported Energy Commodities (3):**
- WTI Crude Oil (USOIL, WTIUSD) → NYMEX:CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)

- Natural Gas (NATGAS) → NYMEX:NG1! (Natural Gas Futures)
**Supported Industrial Metals (1):**
- Copper (COPPER) → COMEX:HG1! (Copper Futures)
**How the automatic detection works:**
The indicator intelligently identifies the asset type by analyzing:
1. Exchange name (FX, OANDA, TVC, COMEX, NYMEX, etc.)
2. Currency pair pattern (6-letter codes like EURUSD, GBPUSD)
3. Commodity identifiers (XAU for gold, XAG for silver, OIL for crude)
When a supported instrument is detected, the indicator automatically switches to the corresponding futures contract for volume analysis. For stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other assets, the indicator uses the native volume data from the current chart.
**Visual feedback:**
An information table appears in the top-right corner of the MACD pane showing:
- Current chart symbol
- Exchange name
- Currency pair or asset name
- Volume source being used (highlighted in orange for futures, yellow for native volume)
- Current high volume status
This provides complete transparency about which data source the indicator is using for its volume analysis.
## How to Use

## Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Best Practices
**Recommended markets:**
- Liquid stocks (large-cap, high daily volume)
- Major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD)
- Exotic forex pairs (USDMXN, USDRUB, USDBRL, USDZAR)
- Cross pairs (EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDJPY, EURAUD, GBPAUD)
- Precious metals (Gold, Silver with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas with automatic NYMEX futures mapping)
- Industrial metals (Copper with automatic COMEX futures mapping)
- Major cryptocurrency pairs
- Index futures and ETFs
**Timeframe recommendations:**
- **Day trading:** 5-minute to 15-minute charts
- **Swing trading:** 1-hour to 4-hour charts
- **Position trading:** Daily charts
**Risk management:**
- Use signals as entry confirmation, not standalone strategy
- Combine with support/resistance levels
- Consider overall market trend direction
- Always use stop-loss orders
### Strategy Examples
**Trend Following Strategy:**
1. Identify overall trend using higher timeframe (e.g., daily chart)
2. Trade only in trend direction
3. Use "Only Buy" filter in uptrends, "Only Sell" in downtrends
4. Enter on signal, exit on opposite signal or at resistance/support
**Volume Breakout Strategy:**
1. Wait for consolidation period (low volume, tight MACD range)
2. Enter when signal appears with high volume (confirms breakout)
3. Target previous swing highs/lows
4. Stop loss below/above recent consolidation
**Forex Scalping Strategy (with automatic CME futures):**
1. The indicator automatically detects forex pairs and uses CME futures volume
2. Trade during active sessions only (use session filter)
3. Focus on quick profits (10-20 pips)
4. Exit at opposite signal or profit target
**Commodities Trading Strategy (Gold, Silver, Oil):**
1. The indicator automatically maps to COMEX and NYMEX futures contracts
2. Trade during high-liquidity sessions (overlap of major markets)
3. Use the high volume confirmation to identify institutional entry points
4. Combine with key support and resistance levels for entries
5. Monitor the information table to confirm futures volume is being used (orange color)
6. Exit on opposite MACD signal or at predefined profit targets
## Why This Combination Works
### The Volume Advantage
Studies consistently show that price movements accompanied by high volume are more likely to continue, while low-volume movements often reverse. This indicator leverages this principle by requiring volume confirmation.
**Key benefits:**
1. **Reduced False Signals:** Eliminates MACD whipsaws during low-volume consolidation
2. **Confirmation Bias:** Two independent indicators (price momentum + volume) agreeing
3. **Institutional Alignment:** High volume often indicates institutional participation
4. **Trend Validation:** Volume confirms that price momentum has "conviction"
### Statistical Edge
By combining two uncorrelated signals (MACD crossovers and volume spikes), the indicator creates a higher-probability setup than either signal alone. The lookback mechanism ensures signals aren't missed if volume spike slightly precedes the MACD cross.
## Supported Exchanges and Automatic Detection
The indicator includes intelligent asset detection that works across multiple exchanges and ticker formats:
**Forex Exchanges (Automatic CME Mapping):**
- FX (TradingView forex feed)
- OANDA
- FXCM
- SAXO
- FOREXCOM
- PEPPERSTONE
- EASYMARKETS
- FX_IDC
**Commodity Exchanges (Automatic COMEX/NYMEX Mapping):**
- TVC (TradingView commodity feed)
- COMEX (directly)
- NYMEX (directly)
- ICEUS
**Other Asset Classes (Native Volume):**
- Stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, etc.)
- Cryptocurrency exchanges (BINANCE, COINBASE, KRAKEN, etc.)
- Index providers (SP, DJ, etc.)
The detection algorithm analyzes three factors:
1. Exchange prefix in the ticker symbol
2. Pattern matching for currency pairs (6-letter codes)
3. Commodity identifiers in the symbol name
This ensures accurate automatic detection regardless of which data feed or exchange you use for charting. The information table in the top-right corner always displays which volume source is being used, providing complete transparency.
## Technical Details
**Calculations:**
- MACD Fast MA: EMA(close, fastLength)
- MACD Slow MA: EMA(close, slowLength)
- MACD Line: Fast MA - Slow MA
- Signal Line: SMA(MACD Line, signalLength)
- Volume MA: Exponential MA of volume
- High Volume: Current volume >= Volume MA × Ratio
**Signal logic:**
```
Buy Signal = (MACD crosses above Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
Sell Signal = (MACD crosses below Signal) AND (High volume in last N bars)
```

Range Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Range Oscillator (Zeiierman) is a dynamic market oscillator designed to visualize how far the price is trading relative to its equilibrium range. Instead of relying on traditional overbought/oversold thresholds, it uses adaptive range detection and heatmap coloring to reveal where price is trading within a volatility-adjusted band.
The oscillator maps market movement as a heat zone, highlighting when the price approaches the upper or lower range boundaries and signaling potential breakout or mean-reversion conditions.
Highlights
Adaptive range detection based on ATR and weighted price movement.
Heatmap-driven coloring that visualizes volatility pressure and directional bias.
Clear transition zones for detecting trend shifts and equilibrium points.
█ How It Works
⚪ Range Detection
The indicator identifies a dynamic price range using two main parameters:
Minimum Range Length: The number of bars required to confirm that a valid range exists.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts the detected range proportionally to the ATR (Average True Range).
This approach ensures that the oscillator automatically adapts to both trending and ranging markets without manual recalibration.
⚪ Weighted Mean Calculation
Instead of a simple moving average, the script calculates a weighted equilibrium mean based on the size of consecutive candle movements:
Larger price changes are given greater weight, emphasizing recent volatility.
⚪ Oscillator Formula
Once the range and equilibrium mean are defined, the oscillator computes:
Osc = 100 * (Close - Mean) / RangeATR
This normalizes price distance relative to the dynamic range size — producing consistent readings across volatile and quiet periods.
█ Heatmap Logic
The Range Oscillator includes a built-in heatmap engine that color-codes each oscillator value based on recent price interaction intensity:
Strong Bullish Zones: Bright green — price faces little resistance upward.
Weak Bullish Zones: Muted green — uptrend continuation but with minor hesitation.
Transition Zones: Blue — areas of uncertainty or trend shift.
Weak Bearish Zones: Maroon — downtrend pressure but soft momentum.
Strong Bearish Zones: Bright red — strong downside continuation with low resistance.
Each color band adapts dynamically using:
Number of Heat Levels: Controls granularity of the heatmap.
Minimum Touches per Level: Defines how reactive or “sensitive” each color zone is.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend & Momentum Confirmation
When the oscillator stays above +0 with green coloring, it suggests sustained bullish pressure.
Similarly, readings below –0 with red coloring, it suggests sustained bearish pressure.
⚪ Range Breakouts
When the oscillator line breaks above +100 or below –100, the price is exceeding its normal volatility range, often signaling breakout potential or exhaustion extremes.
⚪ Mean Reversion Trades
Look for the oscillator to cross back toward zero after reaching an extreme. These transitions (often marked by blue tones) can identify early reversals or range resets.
⚪ Divergence
Use oscillator peaks and troughs relative to price action to spot hidden strength or weakness before the next move.
█ Settings
Minimum Range Length: Number of bars needed to confirm a valid range.
Range Width Multiplier: Expands or contracts range width based on ATR.
Number of Heat Levels: Number of gradient bands used in the oscillator.
Minimum Touches per Level: Sensitivity threshold for when a zone becomes “hot.”

RSI Breakout Zones█ OVERVIEW
“RSI Breakout Zones” is a technical analysis tool that identifies significant zones on the chart based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator maps overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) zones using boxes, then extends them until the next zone of the same type is detected, highlighting breakout points to aid in trade entry decisions. These zones often serve as areas of consolidation, support, or resistance.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator identifies overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) zones, drawing boxes that extend until the next zone of the same type (OB for OB, OS for OS) is detected. Breakout signals are generated when the price crosses the zone boundaries, indicating potential shifts in market momentum.
Why are RSI zones important? These zones represent areas of extreme market sentiment, often leading to corrections or reversals. Overbought zones suggest potential selling pressure, while oversold zones indicate buying opportunities. After a breakout, a zone may switch roles, e.g., from support to resistance or vice versa, making it a key element in price action analysis. Larger zones, formed during high volatility, may attract price for retests due to stronger imbalances in buyer/seller dynamics. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium before further moves. However, in strong trends, zones may be decisively broken without immediate pullbacks, and their significance depends on their position relative to key support and resistance levels.
█ FEATURES
- RSI Zone Detection: Calculates RSI with a customizable length (default 14) and identifies overbought/oversold zones based on user-defined levels (default 70/30), drawing boxes that dynamically adjust to price action within the zone.
- Customizable Boxes: Zones extend until the next zone of the same type is detected. The indicator draws zones with adjustable colors for overbought (red) and oversold (green) areas, with options for box and zone transparency.
- Breakout Signals: Generates upward (green triangle) and downward (red triangle) breakout signals when the price crosses the top or bottom of a zone. Signals appear below or above the bar, indicating potential trade entry points.
- Midline: Automatically draws a dashed line at the midpoint of each zone, helping traders assess price behavior within the zone and potential halfway retests.
- Box Management: Option to remove outdated boxes.
- Alerts: Built-in support for alerts on breakout signals, enabling traders to receive notifications for key zone crossings.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart via the Pine Editor or Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
- RSI Settings: Adjust RSI Length (default 14), Overbought Level (default 70), and Oversold Level (default 30) to tailor zone detection sensitivity—higher lengths smooth signals for longer-term analysis.
- Box Settings: Configure colors and transparency for overbought (red) and oversold (green) zones, including box transparency (default 90) and zone transparency (default 90).
- Signal Settings: Customize breakout signal colors (green for upward, red for downward) and enable/disable keeping boxes after RSI normalization.
Interpreting Signals:
- Upward Breakout Signal: A green triangle below the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bullish momentum and trend continuation or reversal.
- Downward Breakout Signal: A red triangle above the bar indicates a breakout, suggesting potential bearish momentum.
- RSI Zones: If the price re-enters a zone after a breakout, it may signal a false breakout or consolidation; persistent zones can act as future support/resistance levels. Consolidation often occurs within these zones as the market seeks equilibrium.
- Use signals alongside other technical analysis tools for confirmation, such as moving averages (to confirm trend direction), Fibonacci levels (to identify key price zones), or volume indicators (to validate breakout strength). Analyze RSI zones on higher timeframes for stronger signals due to broader market context.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Momentum Trading: Use RSI zones as overbought/oversold filters. In an uptrend, look for buying opportunities on upward breakouts, and in a downtrend, on downward breakouts. Combining with MACD crossovers, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points enhances zone significance.
- Inter-Zone Trading: Utilize breakouts from one RSI zone and hold the position until reaching the next zone, which may act as a target level or reversal point.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets (stocks, forex, crypto) to optimize RSI length and levels for your trading style.
- For best results, use in trending markets where RSI extremes are more predictive; in ranging markets, additional filters are recommended to reduce false signals.
- Always combine with risk management; RSI zones alone do not guarantee reversals, and false breakouts may occur in low-liquidity environments.
TOPIX Relative Strength vs Symbol + Volume Quality (JP)Overview
Relative Strength vs Symbol + Volume Quality (JP) visualizes the relative performance (%) of a stock versus a chosen benchmark (e.g., TOPIX, Nikkei 225, or ETFs) while incorporating volume quality and momentum analysis.
It calculates percentage-point differences between the target and benchmark, smooths them (EMA/SMA), and evaluates whether the strength is supported by quality volume flow.
All data uses confirmed bars only (request.security() with confirmed values) to minimize repainting, and labels are drawn only on confirmed bars.
What It Shows
Relative Performance (%pt): Difference in rate of change between the stock and its benchmark.
Above 0 → outperforming
Below 0 → underperforming
Trend Direction: Short-/mid-term trend from smoothed EMA/SMA.
Volume Quality: Ratio of up-volume to down-volume, scaled from -1 to +1.
Volume Momentum (Z-Score): Measures unusual surges in trading activity.
Strength Detection: Combines price-based strength (relative or z-score) with volume quality and momentum filters.
How to Use
Set your comparison symbol (e.g., TSE:1306, TVC:NI225).
Adjust lookback length and smoothing period/type to fit your analysis window.
Enable “Confirm strength by volume quality” and/or “Use volume Z-score” to filter signals with supportive volume.
Optionally, configure background thresholds to highlight extreme relative strength/weakness.
Use Screener Mode to suppress visual outputs (table/labels) for performance in Pine Screener.
Main Input Groups
Comparison Settings: Benchmark symbol, calculation timeframe.
Period & Smoothing: lookback, smoothLen, and MA type (EMA or SMA).
Price Strength Detection: Enable Z-score mode and adjust zLen / zThresh.
Volume Quality & Momentum: vqThresh (volume quality) and vZth (Z-score threshold).
Display: Toggle histogram tint, background highlight, mini-table, and signal labels.
Background Thresholds: Independent thresholds for histogram/MA lines and colors.
Screener Output: Suppress visuals for screening use.
Output & Coloring
Histogram: Relative performance in %pt. Red = outperforming, Green = underperforming (intensity by magnitude).
White Line (EMA/SMA):
Rising with good volume quality → Red
Rising but poor quality → Yellow
Falling → White
Background: Optional highlight when histogram/MA exceeds user thresholds.
Counters: Hidden plots track how many bars have consecutively exceeded thresholds (usable in screeners).
Alerts
Strength Detection (Price + Volume):
Triggered when price condition (MA > 0 or Z-score > threshold) and volume conditions are met.
Weakness / Loss of Strength:
Triggered on cross-under or when volume conditions fail.
Labels: Optional, shown only on confirmed bars.
Repaint Prevention
All calculations use confirmed bar data only.
Labels appear only when bars close.
On lower timeframes, benchmark update delays may cause minor lag.
Volume quality is derived from up/down bar classification, which can be distorted by gaps or illiquid markets.
Avoid overfitting thresholds — values differ by asset and timeframe.
Practical Applications
Identify outperformance with supportive volume across sectors or themes.
Use streak counters to find consistent relative winners or laggards.
Compare stocks vs sector indices or ETFs to track rotation and momentum shifts.

Trend Following Reflectometry🧭 Trend Following Reflectometry (TFR)
Author: Stef Jonker
Version: Pine Script® v6
The Trend Following Reflectometry (TFR) indicator translates market behavior into the language of impedance and signal reflection theory, providing a unique way to measure trend strength, stability, and purity.
🧩 Summary
Trend Following Reflectometry acts as a trend-quality meter, helping traders identify when a trend is strong, efficient, and worth following — or when the market is too noisy to trust.
It blends physics-inspired logic with practical trading insight, offering both a directional oscillator and a trend stability filter in one tool.
⚙️ Concept
Inspired by electrical impedance matching, this tool compares the market’s characteristic impedance (Z₀) — its natural volatility-to-price behavior — with the load impedance (Zₗ), representing current trend momentum.
The interaction between these two produces a reflection coefficient (Gamma) and a VSWR ratio, which reveal how efficiently market trends are transmitting energy (moving smoothly) versus reflecting noise (becoming unstable).
📊 Core Components
Z₀ (Characteristic Impedance): Market baseline, derived from ATR and SMA.
Zₗ (Load Impedance): Trend momentum based on fast and slow EMAs.
Γ (Gamma – Reflection Coefficient): Measures the mismatch between Z₀ and Zₗ.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Quantifies trend purity — lower = cleaner trend.
Impedance Oscillator: Combines momentum and reflection to produce directional bias.
⚡ Gamma & VSWR Interpretation
Gamma (Γ) represents the reflection coefficient — how much of the market’s trend energy is being reflected instead of transmitted.
When Gamma is low, the market trend is smooth and efficient, moving with little resistance.
When Gamma is high, the market becomes unstable or overextended, signaling potential turbulence, exhaustion, or reversal pressure.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) measures trend purity — how clean or distorted the current trend is.
A low VSWR indicates a well-aligned, steady trend that’s likely to continue smoothly.
A high VSWR suggests an unbalanced or noisy market, where trends may struggle to sustain or could soon reverse.
Together, Gamma and VSWR help identify how well the market’s current momentum aligns with its natural behavior — whether the trend is stable and efficient or reflecting instability beneath the surface.
RVI Divergence Detector with Custom SMA Filter (v6)This script enhances the classic Relative Vigor Index (RVI) by integrating divergence detection with a user-configurable SMA filter applied directly to the RVI oscillator. The goal is to help traders identify high-probability reversal and continuation signals by combining momentum analysis with dynamic baseline filtering.
How it works:
- The RVI measures the conviction behind price moves by comparing closing vs. opening prices relative to the high-low range over a 10-period window.
- Divergences are detected when price makes a new high/low but the RVI does not:
- Regular Bullish: Price makes a lower low, RVI makes a higher low → potential reversal up.
- Hidden Bullish: Price makes a higher low, RVI makes a lower low → trend continuation.
- Inverse logic applies for bearish cases.
- A customizable SMA (default: 14 periods) is plotted on the RVI line. This acts as a dynamic reference to assess whether divergences occur in strong momentum zones (far from SMA) or neutral zones (near SMA), helping filter out weaker signals.
- Users can adjust:
- Pivot lookback range (min/max bars)
- SMA period (1–200)
- Visibility of bullish/bearish and hidden/regular divergences
Why this version adds value:
Unlike basic RVI scripts, this adaptation introduces a configurable trend filter (SMA) and clear visual labeling ("D" for regular, "H" for hidden) with colored lines (green/red) connecting oscillator and price pivots—making divergences instantly recognizable. The logic is optimized for both scalping (short SMA) and swing trading (longer SMA).

Earnings Day - Price Predictor [DunesIsland]It's designed to analyze and visualize historical stock price movements on earnings report days, focusing on percentage changes.
Here's a breakdown of what it does, step by step:
Key Inputs and Setup
User Input: There's a single input for "Lookback Years" (default: 10), which determines how far back in time (approximately) the indicator analyzes earnings data. It uses a rough calculation of milliseconds in that period to filter historical data.
Data Fetching: It uses TradingView's request.earnings function to pull actual earnings per share (EPS) data for the current ticker. Earnings days are identified where EPS data exists on a bar but not on the previous one (to avoid duplicates).
Price Change Calculation: For each detected earnings day, it computes the percentage price movement as (close - close ) / close * 100, representing the change from the previous close to the current close on that day.
Processing and Calculations (on the Last Bar)
Lookback Filter: It calculates a cutoff timestamp for the lookback period and processes only earnings events within that window.
Overall Averages:
Separates positive (≥0%) and negative (<0%) percentage changes.
Seasonality (Next Quarter Prediction):
Identifies the most recent earnings quarter (latest_q).
Predicts the "next" quarter (e.g., if latest is Q4, next is Q1;
Again, separates positive and negative changes, computing their respective averages.
Visual Outputs
Lookback: How far to fetch the data in years.
Average Change (Green): Showing the average of all positive changes.
Average Change (Red): Showing the average of all negative changes.
Seasonality Change (Green): Showing the average of positive changes for the predicted next quarter.
Seasonality Change (Red): Showing the average of negative changes for the predicted next quarter.
Purpose and Usage
This indicator helps traders assess a stock's historical reaction to earnings announcements. The overall averages give a broad sense of typical gains/losses, while the seasonality focuses on quarter-specific trends to "predict" potential movement for the upcoming earnings (based on past same-quarter performance). It's best used on daily charts for stocks with reliable earnings data. Note that quarter inference is calendar-based and may not perfectly match fiscal calendars for all companies—it's an approximation.
RSI Colored by Relative StrengthThis indicator enhances the traditional RSI by combining it with Relative Strength (RS) — the ratio of an asset’s price to a chosen benchmark (e.g., SPY, QQQ, BTCUSD) — to create a more accurate, powerful, and dynamic momentum confirmation tool.
Instead of relying solely on RSI’s internal momentum, this version color-codes RSI values and backgrounds based on whether the asset is outperforming, underperforming, or neutral relative to the benchmark, not only identifying the RSI value, but color codes it in relation to the overall market to give more accurate confirmations.
• RS > 1 → The asset is outperforming the benchmark (relative strength).
• RS < 1 → The asset is underperforming.
• RS ≈ 1 → Neutral or moving in sync with the benchmark.
Gradient background zones:
• Green tones = outperformance (RS > 1).
• Red tones = underperformance (RS < 1).
• Gray neutral band = parity (RS ≈ 1).
Intensity adjusts dynamically based on how far RS deviates from 1, giving an at-a-glance view of market leadership strength.
• Color-coded RSI line: Green when RS > 1, red when RS < 1.
• Optional markers and labels show confirmed RS+RSI crossovers with smart spacing to prevent clutter.
• Alerts included for bullish and bearish RS+RSI alignment events.
How to Use
1. Add your preferred benchmark symbol (default: SPY).
2. Move this indicator into the same pane as your RSI (No need to overlay, does so automatically) and can also be used standalone.
3. Watch for:
• Green RSI & background: Significant momentum strength (asset trending upward and outpacing the market).
• Red RSI & background: False or insignificant momentum (asset lagging).
• Gray zone: neutral phase — consolidation or rotation period.
Use this as a trend-confirmation filter rather than a signal generator.
For example:
• Confirm and refine breakout entries when RS > 1 (RSI support = stronger conviction).
• Take profits when RSI weakens and RS slips below 1.
Spread Trading Z-ScoreIndicator: Z-Score Spread Indicator
Description
The "Z-Score Spread Indicator" is a powerful tool for traders employing mean-reversion strategies on the spread between two financial assets (e.g., futures contracts like MNQ and MES). This indicator calculates and plots the Z-score of the price spread, indicating how far the current spread deviates from its historical mean. It features customizable entry and exit thresholds with adjustable offsets, along with an estimated p-value displayed in a table to assess statistical significance.
Key Features
Asset Selection: Allows users to select two asset symbols (e.g., CME_MINI:MNQ1! and CME_MINI:MES1!) via customizable inputs.
Z-Score Calculation: Computes the Z-score based on the spread’s simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period.
Customizable Thresholds with Offset: Offers adjustable base entry and exit thresholds, with an optional offset to fine-tune trading levels, plotted as horizontal lines.
P-Value Estimation: Provides an approximate p-value to evaluate the statistical significance of the Z-score, displayed in a table anchored to the top-left corner.
Visual Representation: Plots the Z-score with a zero line and threshold lines for intuitive interpretation.
Adjustable Parameters
Asset A Symbol: Symbol for Asset A (default: CME_MINI:MNQ1!).
Asset B Symbol: Symbol for Asset B (default: CME_MINI:MES1!).
Z-Score Lookback: Lookback period for Z-score calculation (default: 40, minimum 2).
Base Entry Threshold: Threshold for entry signals (default: 1.8, adjustable with a step of 0.1).
Base Exit Threshold: Threshold for exit signals (default: 0.5, adjustable with a step of 0.1).
Threshold Offset (+/-): Offset to adjust entry and exit thresholds symmetrically (default: 0.0, range -5.0 to 5.0, step 0.1).
Usage
Add the indicator to your chart via the "Indicators" tab.
Customize the parameters based on your preferred assets and trading strategy (lookback period, thresholds, offset).
Observe the Z-score plot and threshold lines (red for short entry, green for long entry, orange dotted for exits) to identify potential trade setups.
Check the p-value table in the top-left corner to assess the statistical significance of the current Z-score.
Use this data to inform mean-reversion trading decisions, ideally in conjunction with other indicators.
Notes
A Z-score above the entry threshold (positive) or below the negative entry threshold suggests a potential short or long entry, respectively. Exits are signaled when the Z-score crosses the exit thresholds.
The p-value is an approximation based on the normal distribution; a value below 0.05 typically indicates statistical significance, but further validation is recommended.
The indicator uses a simple spread (Asset A - Asset B) without volatility adjustments; consider pairing it with a lots calculator for hedging.
Limitations
The p-value is an approximation and may not reflect advanced statistical tests (e.g., ADF) due to Pine Script constraints.
No automatic trading signals are generated; it provides data for manual analysis.
