RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Strategy 1: Mean Reversion Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Ranging or choppy markets with no clear directional trend
Timeframe: Works best on lower timeframes (5m-1H) or during consolidation phases

📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)

Currency Strength v3.0Currency Strength v3.0
Summary
The Currency Strength indicator is a powerful tool designed to gauge the relative strength of major and emerging market currencies. By plotting the True Strength Index (TSI) of various currency indices, it provides a clear visual representation of which currencies are gaining momentum and which are losing it. This indicator automatically detects the currency pair on your chart and highlights the corresponding strength lines, simplifying analysis and helping you quickly identify potential trading opportunities based on currency dynamics.
Key Features
Comprehensive Currency Analysis: Tracks the strength of 19 currencies, including major pairs and several emerging market currencies.
Automatic Pair Detection: Intelligently identifies the base and quote currency of the active chart, automatically highlighting the relevant strength lines.
Dynamic Coloring: The base currency is consistently colored blue, and the quote currency is colored gold, making it easy to distinguish between the two at a glance.
Non-Repainting TSI Calculation: Uses the True Strength Index (TSI) for smooth and reliable momentum readings that do not repaint.
Customizable Settings: Allows for adjustment of the fast and slow periods for the TSI calculation to fit your specific trading style.
Clean Interface: Features a minimalist legend table that only displays the currencies relevant to your current chart, keeping your workspace uncluttered.
How It Works
The indicator pulls data from major currency indices (like DXY for the US Dollar and EXY for the Euro). For currencies that don't have a dedicated index, it uses their USD pair (e.g., USDCNY) and inverts the calculation to derive the currency's strength relative to the dollar. It then applies the True Strength Index (TSI) to this data. The TSI is a momentum oscillator that is less volatile than other oscillators, providing a more reliable measure of strength. The resulting values are plotted on the chart, allowing you to see how different currencies are performing against each other in real-time.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: When the base currency's line is rising and above the zero line, and the quote currency's line is falling, it can confirm a bullish trend for the pair. The opposite would suggest a bearish trend.
Identifying Divergences: Look for divergences between the currency strength lines and the price action of the pair. For example, if the price is making higher highs but the base currency's strength is making lower highs, it could signal a potential reversal.
Crossovers: A crossover of the base and quote currency lines can signal a shift in momentum. A bullish signal occurs when the base currency line crosses above the quote currency line. A bearish signal occurs when it crosses below.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: The horizontal dashed lines at 0.5 and -0.5 can be used as general guides for overbought and oversold conditions, respectively. Strength moving beyond these levels may indicate an unsustainable move that is due for a correction.
Settings
Fast Period: The short-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 7.
Slow Period: The long-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 15.
Index Source: The price source used for the calculations (e.g., Close, Open). Default is Close.
Base Currency Color: The color for the base currency line. Default is Royal Blue.
Quote Currency Color: The color for the quote currency line. Default is Goldenrod.

⸻
🔍 What is RACZ?
RACZ stands for Reactive Analytical Confluence Zones.
It’s a high-precision trading tool built for traders who rely on multi-signal confirmation, momentum alignment, and market structure awareness.
Rather than relying on a single technical metric, RACZ dynamically combines RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX, and Volume Analytics to produce a composite signal score from 0 to 12 — the higher the score, the stronger the signal.
⸻
🧠 How It Works – Core Components
1. RSI Analysis
• Detects momentum shifts.
• Compares RSI value to overbought (default: 67) and oversold (default: 33) thresholds.
• Adds points to Bullish or Bearish score.
2. VWAP-RSI
• Uses RSI based on VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
• Adds weight to signals influenced by volume-adjusted price movement.
3. Divergence Detection
• Detects potential reversal zones.
• Bullish Divergence: RSI crosses up from low zone.
• Bearish Divergence: RSI crosses down from high zone.
• Strong confluence signal when present.
4. ADX Dynamic Strength Filter
• Custom-calculated ADX (trend strength indicator).
• Uses a dynamic threshold derived from SMA of ADX over a lookback period, scaled by a factor (default 0.9).
• Ensures signals are only validated in strong trend environments.
5. Volume Z-Score
• Detects anomalies in volume behavior.
• Z-score applied to 20-period volume average & deviation.
• Labels spikes, drops, high/low volume conditions.
⸻
📊 Signal Scoring Logic
Each component (RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX) can score up to 3 points each.
• Bullish Score: Total from bullish alignment of each factor.
• Bearish Score: Total from bearish alignment of each factor.
• Signal Power = max(bullish, bearish)
📈 Signal Interpretation
• BUY: Bullish Score > Bearish Score
• SELL: Bearish Score > Bullish Score
• NEUTRAL: Scores are equal
• Signal power is plotted on a 0–12 histogram:
• 0–5 = Weak
• 6–8 = Medium
• 9–12 = Strong (High Confluence Zone)

Rate of Change HistogramExplanation of Modifications
Converting ROC to Histogram:
Original ROC: The ROC is calculated as roc = 100 * (source - source ) / source , plotted as a line oscillating around zero.
Modification: Instead of plotting roc as a line, it’s now plotted as a histogram using style=plot.style_columns. This makes the ROC values visually resemble the MACD histogram, with bars extending above or below the zero line based on momentum.
Applying MACD’s Four-Color Scheme:
Logic: The histogram’s color is determined by:
Above Zero (roc >= 0): Bright green (#26A69A) if ROC is rising (roc > roc ), light green (#B2DFDB) if falling (roc < roc ).
Below Zero (roc < 0): Bright red (#FF5252) if ROC is falling (roc < roc ), light red (#FFCDD2) if rising (roc > roc ).
Implementation: Used the exact color logic and hex codes from the MACD code, applied to the ROC histogram. This highlights momentum ebbs (falling ROC, fading waves) and flows (rising ROC, strengthening waves).
Removing Signal Line:
Unlike the previous attempt, no signal line is added. The histogram is purely the ROC value, ensuring it directly reflects price change momentum without additional smoothing, making it faster and more responsive to pulse waves, as you indicated ROC performs better than other oscillators.
Alert Conditions:
Added alerts to match the MACD’s logic, triggering when the ROC histogram crosses the zero line:
Rising to Falling: When roc >= 0 and roc < 0, signaling a potential wave peak (e.g., end of Wave 3 or C).
Falling to Rising: When roc <= 0 and roc > 0, indicating a potential wave bottom (e.g., start of Wave 1 or rebound).
These alerts help identify transitions in 3-4 wave pulse patterns.
Plotting:
Histogram: Plotted as columns (plot.style_columns) with the four-color scheme, directly representing ROC momentum.
Zero Line: Kept the gray zero line (#787B86) for reference, consistent with the MACD.
Removed ROC Line/Signal Line: Since you want the ROC to act as the histogram itself, no additional lines are plotted.
Inputs:
Retained the original length (default 9) and source (default close) inputs for consistency.
Removed signal-related inputs (e.g., signal_length, sma_signal) as they’re not needed for a pure ROC histogram.
How This ROC Histogram Works for Wave Pulses
Wave Alignment:
Above Zero (Bullish Momentum): Positive ROC bars indicate flows (e.g., impulse Waves 1, 3, or rebounds in Wave B/C). Bright green bars show accelerating momentum (strong pulses), while light green bars suggest fading momentum (potential wave tops).
Below Zero (Bearish Momentum): Negative ROC bars indicate ebbs (e.g., corrective Waves 2, 4, A, or C). Bright red bars show increasing bearish momentum (strong pullbacks), while light red bars suggest slowing declines (potential wave bottoms).
3-4 Wave Pulses:
In a 3-wave A-B-C correction: Wave A (down) shows bright red bars (falling ROC), Wave B (up) shows bright/light green bars (rising ROC), and Wave C (down) shifts back to red bars.
In a 4-wave consolidation: Alternating green/red bars highlight the rhythmic ebbs and flows as momentum oscillates.
Timing:
Zero-line crossovers mark wave transitions (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3).
Color changes (e.g., bright to light green) signal momentum shifts within waves, helping identify pulse peaks/troughs.
Advantages Over MACD:
The ROC histogram is more responsive than the MACD histogram because ROC directly measures price change percentage, while MACD relies on moving average differences, which introduce lag. This makes the ROC histogram better for capturing rapid 3-4 wave pulses, as you noted.
Example Usage
For a stock with 3-4 wave pulses on a 5-minute chart:
Wave 1 (Flow): ROC rises above zero, histogram turns bright green (rising momentum), indicating a strong bullish pulse.
Wave 2 (Ebb): ROC falls below zero, histogram shifts to bright red (falling momentum), signaling a corrective pullback.
Wave 3 (Flow): ROC crosses back above zero, histogram becomes bright green again, confirming a powerful pulse.
Wave 4 (Ebb): ROC dips slightly, histogram turns light green (falling momentum above zero) or light red (rising momentum below zero), indicating consolidation.
Alerts trigger on zero-line crosses (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3), helping time trades.
Settings Recommendations
Default (length=9): Works well for most time frames, balancing sensitivity and smoothness.
Intraday Pulses: Use length=5 or length=7 for faster signals on 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
Daily Charts: Try length=12 or length=14 for broader wave cycles.
Testing: Apply to a stock with clear wave patterns (e.g., tech stocks like AAPL or TSLA) and adjust length to match the pulse frequency you observe.
Notes
Confirmation: Pair the ROC histogram with price action (e.g., Fibonacci retracements, support/resistance) to validate wave counts, as momentum oscillators can be noisy in choppy markets.
Divergences: Watch for divergences (e.g., price makes a higher high, but ROC histogram bars are lower) to spot wave reversals, especially at Wave 3 or C ends.
Comparison to MACD: The ROC histogram is faster and more direct, making it ideal for short-term pulse waves, but it may be more volatile, so use with technical levels for precision.

The script calculates the Volume Delta by comparing the volume of bars where the price closed higher (buying pressure) to those where the price closed lower (selling pressure).
Positive Volume Delta (green background) indicates more buying activity than selling, suggesting upward price movement. Negative Volume Delta (red background) indicates more selling than buying, signaling a potential downward move.
Smoothing with EMA:
To make the volume delta trend smoother and more consistent, an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Volume Delta is used. This helps to reduce noise and highlight the prevailing buying or selling pressure over a 14-period.
Dynamic Position Selection:
The user can choose where the Volume Delta dashboard table will appear on the chart by selecting a position: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right. This makes the indicator adaptable to different chart setups.
Coloring:
The background of the table changes color based on the value of the Volume Delta. Green indicates a positive delta (more buyers), and Red indicates a negative delta (more sellers).
Use of This Strategy:
This Volume Delta Dashboard strategy is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Monitor Market Sentiment:
By observing the volume delta, traders can get a sense of whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market. Positive volume delta can indicate a bullish sentiment, while negative delta can point to bearish sentiment.
Confirm Price Action:
The Volume Delta can be used alongside price action to confirm the strength of a price move. For example, if the price is moving up and the volume delta is positive, it suggests that the price increase is supported by buying pressure.
Identify Divergences:
Volume delta can help traders spot divergences between price and volume. For example, if the price is moving higher but the volume delta is negative, it may suggest a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
Optimize Entry/Exit Points:
By understanding the relationship between price movement and volume, traders can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting positions. For instance, a sudden increase in buying volume (positive delta) may indicate a good entry point for a long position.
Overall, the Volume Delta Dashboard can serve as a powerful tool for improving decision-making, by providing real-time insights into market dynamics and trading sentiment.
Adaptive Resonance Oscillator [AlgoAlpha]Introducing the Adaptive Resonance Oscillator , an advanced momentum-based oscillator designed to dynamically adjust to changing market conditions. This innovative indicator detects market frequency through a Hilbert Transform approach, adapting in real-time to identify overbought and oversold conditions with improved accuracy. With built-in divergence detection, trend analysis, and customizable smoothing, this tool is perfect for traders looking to refine their entries and exits based on adaptive oscillation mechanics.
🚀 Key Features :
🔹 Adaptive Frequency Detection – Uses Hilbert Transform principles to dynamically determine market cycle length for precise oscillator calculation.
⚙️ Customizable Smoothing – Option to apply a Hull Moving Average (HMA) for enhanced signal clarity.
📈 Divergence Detection – Identifies bullish and bearish divergences with visual markers, helping traders spot early trend reversals.
🟢 Overbought & Oversold Signals – Highlights extreme momentum conditions with adjustable thresholds.
🔔 Real-Time Alerts – Get notified for crossovers, divergences, and strong trend shifts directly on your TradingView chart.
🎨 Fully Customizable Appearance – Modify colors, divergence sensitivity, and smoothing options to fit your trading style.
🛠 How to Use :
Add the Adaptive Resonance Oscillator to your TradingView chart by clicking the ★ to favorite it.
Monitor the Charts , switch between smoothed and I smoothed modes to identify trend and price swings, use divergences and reversal signals for potential entry/exits.
Set alerts for bullish/bearish crossovers and divergence signals to stay ahead of market moves.
⚙ How It Works :
The indicator begins by applying a Hilbert Transform frequency estimation to the price series, identifying the dominant market cycle length. This is used to calculate a period for the RSI that matches its resonant frequency with the dominant market frequency, dynamically adjusting the Oscillator. The oscillator then applies an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for signal refinement. Additionally, the indicator scans for bullish and bearish divergences by comparing oscillator movements against price action, plotting signals accordingly. When overbought/oversold conditions or divergence events occur, alerts are triggered to notify the trader in real time.
RSI & DPO support/resistanceThis indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions with the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to highlight support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that display these metrics in a separate window, this tool integrates them directly onto the main price chart.
This allows for a more cohesive analysis, enabling traders to easily visualize the relationship between price movements and momentum indicators in one unified view.
How to Use It:
Identify Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
Look for RSI values above 70 to identify overbought conditions, suggesting a potential price reversal or pullback. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate oversold conditions, which may signal a potential price bounce or upward movement.
Analyze Support and Resistance Levels:
Observe the DPO lines on the main chart to identify key support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these levels, it can provide insights into potential price reversals or breakouts.
Combine Signals for Trading Decisions:
Use the RSI and DPO signals together to make informed trading decisions. For example, if the RSI indicates an overbought condition while the price is near a resistance level identified by the DPO, it may be a good opportunity to consider selling or taking profits.
Monitor Divergences:
Watch for divergences between the RSI and price movements. If the price is making new highs while the RSI is not, it could indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Set Alerts:
Consider setting alerts for when the RSI crosses above or below the overbought or oversold thresholds, or when the price approaches significant support or resistance levels indicated by the DPO.
Practice Risk Management:
Always use proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital while trading based on these indicators.
By following these steps, traders can effectively utilize this indicator to enhance their market analysis and improve their trading strategies.
MERCURY-PRO by DrAbhiramSivprasd“MERCURYPRO”
The MERCURYPRO indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to provide dynamic trend signals based on a combination of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Standard Deviation (StDev). This indicator helps traders identify trend reversals or continuation based on the behavior of the price and momentum.
Key Features:
• Source Input: The indicator works with any price data, with the default set to close, which represents the closing price of each bar.
• Length Input: A period (default value 9) is used to determine the calculation window for the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Standard Deviation.
• Fixed CMO Length Option: Users can choose whether to use a fixed CMO length of 9 or adjust the length to the user-defined pds value.
• Calculation Method: The indicator allows switching between using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) or Standard Deviation (StDev) for the momentum calculation.
• Alpha: The smoothing factor used in the calculation of the MERCURYPRO value, which is based on the length of the period input (pds).
Core Calculation:
1. Momentum Calculation: The script calculates the momentum by determining the change in the source price (e.g., close) from one period to the next.
2. Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO): The positive and negative momentum components are calculated and then summed over the specified period. This value is normalized to a percentage to determine the momentum strength.
3. K Value Calculation: The script selects either the CMO or Standard Deviation (depending on the user setting) to calculate the k value, which represents the dynamic price momentum.
4. MERCURYPRO Line: The final output of the indicator, MERCURYPRO, is computed using a weighted average of the k value and the previous MERCURYPRO value. The line is smoothed using the Alpha parameter.
Plot and Signal Generation:
• Color Coding: The line is color-coded based on the direction of MERCURYPRO:
• Blue: The trend is bullish (MERCURYPRO is rising).
• Maroon: The trend is bearish (MERCURYPRO is falling).
• Default Blue: Neutral or sideways market conditions.
• Plotting: The MERCURYPRO line is plotted with varying colors depending on the trend direction.
Alerts:
• Color Change Alert: The indicator has an alert condition based on when the MERCURYPRO line crosses its previous value. This helps traders stay informed about potential trend reversals or continuation signals.
Use Case:
• Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the MERCURYPRO indicator to identify whether the market is in a strong trend or not.
• Signal for Entries/Exits: The color change and crossovers of the MERCURYPRO line can be used as entry or exit signals, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Overall Purpose:
The MERCURYPRO indicator combines momentum analysis with smoothing techniques to offer a dynamic, responsive tool for identifying market trends and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in conjunction with other technical indicators to provide confirmation for trade setups.
How to Use the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
The MERCURYPRO indicator is designed to help traders identify trend reversals and market conditions. Here are a few ways you can use it:
1. Trend Confirmation (Bullish or Bearish)
• Bullish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Blue, it indicates a rising trend, suggesting that the market is bullish.
• Action: You can consider entering long positions when the line turns blue, or holding your existing positions if you’re already long.
• Bearish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Maroon, it signals a downward trend, indicating a bearish market.
• Action: You may consider entering short positions or closing any long positions when the line turns maroon.
2. Trend Reversal Alerts
• Color Change: The MERCURYPRO indicator changes color when there’s a trend reversal. The alert condition triggers when the MERCURYPRO crosses above or below its previous value, signaling a potential shift in the trend.
• Action: You can use this alert as a signal to monitor potential entry or exit points for trades. For example, a crossover from maroon to blue could indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a crossover from blue to maroon could suggest a selling opportunity.
3. Use with Other Indicators for Confirmation
• While the MERCURYPRO provides valuable trend insights, it’s often more effective when used in combination with other indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
• Example: If MERCURYPRO turns blue and RSI is above 50, it may signal a strong bullish trend, enhancing the confidence to enter a long trade.
4. Divergence
• Watch for divergence between the MERCURYPRO line and the price chart:
• Bullish Divergence: If the price makes new lows while MERCURYPRO is showing higher lows, it suggests a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish Divergence: If the price makes new highs while MERCURYPRO is showing lower highs, it suggests a potential bearish reversal.
Example of Use:
• Example 1: If the MERCURYPRO line changes from maroon to blue, you might enter a long position. After the MERCURYPRO line turns blue, use an alert to monitor the price action. If other indicators (like RSI) also suggest strength, your confidence in the trade will increase.
• Example 2: If the MERCURYPRO line shifts from blue to maroon, it could be a signal to close long positions and consider shorting the market if other conditions align (e.g., moving averages also turn bearish).
Warning for Using the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
1. Lagging Indicator:
• The MERCURYPRO is a lagging indicator, meaning it responds to price changes after they have occurred. This may delay entry and exit signals, and it’s crucial to combine it with other leading indicators to get timely information.
2. False Signals in Range-bound Markets:
• In choppy or sideways markets, the MERCURYPRO line can produce false signals, flipping between blue and maroon frequently without showing a clear trend. It’s important to avoid trading based on these false signals when the market is not trending.
3. Overreliance on One Indicator:
• Relying solely on MERCURYPRO can be risky. Always confirm signals with additional tools like volume analysis, price action, or other indicators to increase the accuracy of your trades.
4. Market Conditions Matter:
• The indicator may work well in trending markets, but in highly volatile or news-driven environments, it may provide misleading signals. Ensure that you take market fundamentals and external news events into consideration before acting on the indicator’s signals.
5. Risk Management:
• As with any technical indicator, MERCURYPRO is not infallible. Always use appropriate risk management techniques such as stop-loss orders to protect your capital. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a trade.
6. Backtest First:
• Before implementing MERCURYPRO in live trading, make sure to backtest it on historical data. Test the strategy with various market conditions to assess its effectiveness and identify any potential weaknesses.
By considering these guidelines and warnings, you can use the MERCURYPRO indicator more effectively and mitigate potential risks in your trading strategy.
Multi SMA EMA VWAP1. Moving Average Crossover
This is one of the most common strategies with moving averages, and it involves observing crossovers between EMAs and SMAs to determine buy or sell signals.
Buy signal: When a faster EMA (like a short-term EMA) crosses above a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential upward movement.
Sell signal: When a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential downward movement.
With 4 EMAs and 5 SMAs, you can set up crossovers between different combinations, such as:
EMA(9) crosses above SMA(50) → buy.
EMA(9) crosses below SMA(50) → sell.
2. Divergence Confirmation Between EMAs and SMAs
Divergence between the EMAs and SMAs can offer additional confirmation. If the EMAs are pointing in one direction and the SMAs are still in the opposite direction, it is a sign that the movement could be stronger and continue in the same direction.
Positive divergence: If the EMAs are making new highs while the SMAs are still below, it could be a sign that the market is in a strong trend.
Negative divergence: If the EMAs are making new lows and the SMAs are still above, you might consider that the market is in a downtrend or correction.
3. Using EMAs as Dynamic Support and Resistance
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance in strong trends. If the price approaches a faster EMA from above and doesn’t break it, it could be a good entry point for a long position (buy). If the price approaches a slower EMA from below and doesn't break it, it could be a good point to sell (short).
Buy: If the price is above all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA (e.g., EMA(9)), it could be a good buy point if the price bounces upward.
Sell: If the price is below all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA, it could be a good sell point if the price bounces downward.
4. Combining SMAs and EMAs to Filter Signals
SMAs can serve as a trend filter to avoid trading in sideways markets. For example:
Bullish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs (such as SMA(100) or SMA(200)) are below the price, and the shorter EMAs are aligned upward, you can look for buy signals.
Bearish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs are above the price and the shorter EMAs are aligned downward, you can look for sell signals.
5. Consolidation Zone Between EMAs and SMAs
When the price moves between EMAs and SMAs without a clear trend (consolidation zone), you can expect a breakout. In this case, you can use the EMAs and SMAs to identify the direction of the breakout:
If the price is in a narrow range between the EMAs and SMAs and then breaks above the fastest EMA, it’s a sign that an upward trend may begin.
If the price breaks below the fastest EMA, it could indicate a potential downward trend.
6. "Golden Cross" and "Death Cross" Strategy
These are classic strategies based on crossovers between moving averages of different periods.
Golden Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA (e.g., EMA(50)) crosses above a slower SMA (e.g., SMA(200)), which suggests a potential bullish trend.
Death Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, which suggests a potential bearish trend.
Additional Recommendations:
Combining with other indicators: You can combine EMA and SMA signals with other indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) for confirmation and to avoid false signals.
Risk management: Always use stop-loss and take-profit orders to protect your capital. Moving averages are trend-following indicators but don’t guarantee that the price will move in the same direction.
Timeframe analysis: It’s recommended to use different timeframes to confirm the trend (e.g., use EMAs on hourly charts along with SMAs on daily charts).
VWAP
1. VWAP + EMAs for Trend Confirmation
VWAP can act as a trend filter, confirming the direction provided by the EMAs.
Buy Signal: If the price is above the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in an uptrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are above longer-term EMAs), this indicates that the trend is bullish and you can look for buy opportunities.
Sell Signal: If the price is below the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in a downtrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are below longer-term EMAs), this suggests a bearish trend and you can look for sell opportunities.
In this case, VWAP is used to confirm the overall trend. For example:
Bullish: Price above VWAP, EMAs aligned to the upside (e.g., EMA(9) > EMA(50) > EMA(200)), buy.
Bearish: Price below VWAP, EMAs aligned to the downside (e.g., EMA(9) < EMA(50) < EMA(200)), sell.
2. VWAP as Dynamic Support and Resistance
VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level during the day. Combining this with EMAs and SMAs helps you refine your entry and exit points.
Support: If the price is above VWAP and starts pulling back to VWAP, it could act as support. If the price bounces off the VWAP and aligns with bullish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing above EMA(50)), you can consider entering a buy position.
Resistance: If the price is below VWAP and approaches VWAP from below, it can act as resistance. If the price fails to break through VWAP and aligns with bearish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing below EMA(50)), it could be a good signal for a sell.
RSI and Bollinger Bands Screener [deepakks444]Indicator Overview
The indicator is designed to help traders identify potential long signals by combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. This combination allows traders to leverage the strengths of both indicators to make more informed trading decisions.
Understanding RSI
What is RSI?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. for stocks and forex trading, the RSI is primarily used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in an asset.
How RSI Works:
Calculation: The RSI is calculated using the average gains and losses over a specified period, typically 14 periods.
Range: The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100.
Interpretation:
Key Features of RSI:
Momentum Indicator: RSI helps identify the momentum of price movements.
Divergences: RSI can show divergences, where the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high, indicating potential reversals.
Trend Identification: RSI can also help identify trends. In an uptrend, the RSI tends to stay above 50, and in a downtrend, it tends to stay below 50.
Understanding Bollinger Bands
What is Bollinger Bands?
Bollinger Bands are a type of trading band or envelope plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a price. Developed by financial analyst John Bollinger, Bollinger Bands consist of three lines:
Upper Band: SMA + (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Middle Band (Basis): SMA
Lower Band: SMA - (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
How Bollinger Bands Work:
Volatility Measure: Bollinger Bands measure the volatility of the market. When the bands are wide, it indicates high volatility, and when the bands are narrow, it indicates low volatility.
Price Movement: The price tends to revert to the mean (middle band) after touching the upper or lower bands.
Support and Resistance: The upper and lower bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Features of Bollinger Bands:
Volatility Indicator: Bollinger Bands help traders understand the volatility of the market.
Mean Reversion: Prices tend to revert to the mean (middle band) after touching the bands.
Squeeze: A Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when the bands narrow significantly, indicating low volatility and a potential breakout.

Composite Oscillation Indicator Based on MACD and OthersThis indicator combines various technical analysis tools to create a composite oscillator that aims to capture multiple aspects of market behavior. Here's a breakdown of its components:
* Individual RSIs (xxoo1-xxoo15): The code calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) of numerous indicators, including volume-based indicators (NVI, PVI, OBV, etc.), price-based indicators (CCI, CMO, etc.), and moving averages (WMA, ALMA, etc.). It also includes the RSI of the MACD histogram (xxoo14).
* Composite RSI (xxoojht): The individual RSIs are then averaged to create a composite RSI, aiming to provide a more comprehensive view of market momentum and potential turning points.
* MACD Line RSI (xxoo14): The RSI of the MACD histogram incorporates the momentum aspect of the MACD indicator into the composite measure.
* Double EMA (co, coo): The code employs two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the composite RSI, with different lengths (9 and 18 periods).
* Difference (jo): The difference between the two EMAs (co and coo) is calculated, aiming to capture the rate of change in the composite RSI.
* Smoothed Difference (xxp): The difference (jo) is further smoothed using another EMA (9 periods) to reduce noise and enhance the signal.
* RSI of Smoothed Difference (cco): Finally, the RSI is applied to the smoothed difference (xxp) to create the core output of the indicator.
Market Applications and Trading Strategies:
* Overbought/Oversold: The indicator's central line (plotted at 50) acts as a reference for overbought/oversold conditions. Values above 50 suggest potential overbought zones, while values below 50 indicate oversold zones.
* Crossovers and Divergences: Crossovers of the cco line above or below its previous bar's value can signal potential trend changes. Divergences between the cco line and price action can also provide insights into potential trend reversals.
* Emoji Markers: The code adds emoji markers ("" for bullish and "" for bearish) based on the crossover direction of the cco line. These can provide a quick visual indication of potential trend shifts.
* Colored Fill: The area between the composite RSI line (xxoojht) and the central line (50) is filled with color to visually represent the prevailing market sentiment (green for above 50, red for below 50).
Trading Strategies (Examples):
* Long Entry: Consider a long entry (buying) signal when the cco line crosses above its previous bar's value and the composite RSI (xxoojht) is below 50, suggesting a potential reversal from oversold conditions.
* Short Entry: Conversely, consider a short entry (selling) signal when the cco line crosses below its previous bar's value and the composite RSI (xxoojht) is above 50, suggesting a potential reversal from overbought conditions.
* Confirmation: Always combine the indicator's signals with other technical analysis tools and price action confirmation for better trade validation.
Additional Notes:
* The indicator offers a complex combination of multiple indicators. Consider testing and optimizing the parameters (EMAs, RSI periods) to suit your trading style and market conditions.
* Backtesting with historical data can help assess the indicator's effectiveness and identify potential strengths and weaknesses in different market environments.
* Remember that no single indicator is perfect, and the cco indicator should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to make informed trading decisions.
By understanding the logic behind this composite oscillator and its potential applications, you can incorporate it into your trading strategy to potentially identify trends, gauge market sentiment, and generate trading signals.
Hodrick-Prescott Cycle Component (YavuzAkbay)The Hodrick-Prescott Cycle Component indicator in Pine Script™ is an advanced tool that helps traders isolate and analyze the cyclical deviations in asset prices from their underlying trend. This script calculates the cycle component of the price series using the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter, allowing traders to observe and interpret the short-term price movements around the long-term trend. By providing two views—Percentage and Price Difference—this indicator gives flexibility in how these cyclical movements are visualized and interpreted.
What This Script Does
This indicator focuses exclusively on the cycle component of the price, which is the deviation of the current price from the long-term trend calculated by the HP filter. This deviation (or "cycle") is what traders analyze for mean-reversion opportunities and overbought/oversold conditions. The script allows users to see this deviation in two ways:
Percentage Difference: Shows the deviation as a percentage of the trend, giving a normalized view of the price’s distance from its trend component.
Price Difference: Shows the deviation in absolute price terms, reflecting how many price units the price is above or below the trend.
How It Works
Trend Component Calculation with the HP Filter: Using the HP filter, the script isolates the trend component of the price. The smoothness of this trend is controlled by the smoothness parameter (λ), which can be adjusted by the user. A higher λ value results in a smoother trend, while a lower λ value makes it more responsive to short-term changes.
Cycle Component Calculation: Percentage Deviation (cycle_pct) calculated as the difference between the current price and the trend, divided by the trend, and then multiplied by 100. This metric shows how far the price deviates from the trend in relative terms. Price Difference (cycle_price) simply the difference between the current price and the trend component, displaying the deviation in absolute price units.
Conditional Plotting: The user can choose to view the cycle component as either a percentage or a price difference by selecting the Display Mode input. The indicator will plot the chosen mode in a separate pane, helping traders focus on the preferred measure of deviation.
How to Use This Indicator
Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions: When the cycle component deviates significantly from the zero line (shown with a dashed horizontal line), it may indicate overbought or oversold conditions. For instance, a high positive cycle component suggests the price may be overbought relative to the trend, while a large negative cycle suggests potential oversold conditions.
Mean-Reversion Strategy: In mean-reverting markets, traders can use this indicator to spot potential reversal points. For example, if the cycle component shows an extreme deviation from zero, it could signal that the price is likely to revert to the trend. This can help traders with entry and exit points when the asset is expected to correct back toward its trend.
Trend Strength and Cycle Analysis: By comparing the magnitude and duration of deviations, traders can gauge the strength of cycles and assess if a new trend might be forming. If the cycle component remains consistently positive or negative, it may indicate a persistent market bias, even as prices fluctuate around the trend.
Percentage vs. Price Difference Views: Use the Percentage Difference mode to standardize deviations and compare across assets or different timeframes. This is especially helpful when analyzing assets with varying price levels. Use the Price Difference mode when an absolute deviation (price units) is more intuitive for spotting overbought/oversold levels based on the asset’s actual price.
Using with Hodrick-Prescott: You can also use Hodrick-Prescott, another indicator that I have adapted to the Tradingview platform, to see the trend on the chart, and you can also use this indicator to see how far the price is deviating from the trend. This gives you a multifaceted perspective on your trades.
Practical Tips for Traders
Set the Smoothness Parameter (λ): Adjust the λ parameter to match your trading timeframe and asset characteristics. Lower values make the trend more sensitive, which might suit short-term trading, while higher values smooth out the trend for long-term analysis.
Cycle Component as Confirmation: Combine this indicator with other momentum or trend indicators for confirmation of overbought/oversold signals. For example, use the cycle component with RSI or MACD to validate the likelihood of mean-reversion.
Observe Divergences: Divergences between price movements and the cycle component can indicate potential reversals. If the price hits a new high, but the cycle component shows a smaller deviation than previous highs, it could signal a weakening trend.

Volume True Range (VTR) and Volume Average True Range (VATR)This indicator uses lower-timeframe cumulative volume delta (CVD) candles to calculate the Volume True Range (VTR) of your instrument. The VTR is calculated similarly to the traditional true range, but uses volume instead (no price is involved in the calculation other than in the lower timeframe bar delta assignments). I haven't seen this concept developed before on TradingView or frankly the Internet, but I thought it seemed fairly intuitive; we can calculate the lower timeframe volume delta candles, so it makes sense to calculate a volume true range, which could show divergences in volume and price.
The VTR is calculated by the following code which uses the lower-timeframe CVD candles:
volumeTR = math.max(cvd_high - cvd_low, math.abs(cvd_high - nz(cvd_close )), math.abs(cvd_low - nz(cvd_close )))
The Volume Average True Range (VATR) is calculated by taking the RMA of the VTR, similarly to the ATR.
I would like to thank TradingView for the calculation of up/down intrabar volumes, which I referenced from their 'CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles' indicator.
How to Use
The VTR and VATR can be used to identify price-volume trends and volatility divergences. A strong VTR (above the VATR of your specified length) can indicate the start or continuation of a trend, which you can identify via the VTR color (determined via price candle colors). Similarly, a rising VATR with most VTR bars of a specific color (green or red) will show that volume is moving in a specific price direction.
Additionally, the VATR plotted next to the ATR of the same length will show you volume volatility divergences. A strong VATR next to a muted/flat ATR indicates strong volume movement, which price might follow in the upcoming bars. Or, for trend reversals, a decreasing ATR after a strong trend combined with a rising VATR of the opposite trend may show a possible reversal.
Hope you all enjoy this.

Slow Volume Strength Index (SVSI)The Slow Volume Strength Index (SVSI), introduced by Vitali Apirine in Stocks & Commodities (Volume 33, Chapter 6, Page 28-31), is a momentum oscillator inspired by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It gauges buying and selling pressure by analyzing the disparity between average volume on up days and down days, relative to the underlying price trend. Positive volume signifies closes above the exponential moving average (EMA), while negative volume indicates closes below. Flat closes register zero volume. The SVSI then applies a smoothing technique to this data and transforms it into an oscillator with values ranging from 0 to 100.
Traders can leverage the SVSI in several ways:
1. Overbought/Oversold Levels: Standard thresholds of 80 and 20 define overbought and oversold zones, respectively.
2. Centerline Crossovers and Divergences: Signals can be generated by the indicator line crossing a midline or by divergences from price movements.
3. Confirmation for Slow RSI: The SVSI can be used to confirm signals generated by the Slow Relative Strength Index (SRSI), another oscillator developed by Apirine.
🔹 Algorithm
In the original article, the SVSI is calculated using the following formula:
SVSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + SVS))
where:
SVS = Average Positive Volume / Average Negative Volume
* Volume is considered positive when the closing price is higher than the six-day EMA.
* Volume is considered negative when the closing price is lower than the six-day EMA.
* Negative volume values are expressed as absolute values (positive).
* If the closing price equals the six-day EMA, volume is considered zero (no change).
* When calculating the average volume, the indicator utilizes Wilder's smoothing technique, as described in his book "New Concepts In Technical Trading Systems."
Note that this indicator, the formula has been simplified to be
SVSI = 100 * Average Positive Volume / (Average Positive Volume + Average Negative Volume)
This formula achieves the same result as the original article's proposal, but in a more concise way and without the need for special handling of division by zero
🔹 Parameters
The SVSI calculation offers configurable parameters that can be adjusted to suit individual trading styles and goals. While the default lookback periods are 6 for the EMA and 14 for volume smoothing, alternative values can be explored. Additionally, the standard overbought and oversold thresholds of 80 and 20 can be adapted to better align with the specific security being analyzed.

Kashif_MFI+RSI+BBMerging Money Flow Index (MFI), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands in TradingView can offer traders a comprehensive view of market conditions, providing insights into potential price reversals, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential trend changes. Here are some benefits of combining these indicators:
Confirmation of Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
MFI and RSI are both oscillators that measure overbought and oversold conditions. When MFI and RSI readings are high (above their respective overbought levels), and the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band, it may suggest that the asset is overextended and a reversal could be imminent. Conversely, when MFI and RSI readings are low (below their respective oversold levels) and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may indicate potential buying opportunities.
Divergence Analysis:
Traders often look for divergences between price action and MFI/RSI. If the price is making new highs, but MFI/RSI is not confirming these highs (bearish divergence), it could signal weakening momentum and a possible reversal. Combining this analysis with Bollinger Bands can add another layer of confirmation, especially if the price is touching or exceeding the upper Bollinger Band during this divergence.
Volatility Confirmation:
Bollinger Bands provide a measure of volatility by expanding and contracting based on price volatility. If the bands are widening, it indicates increased volatility. Combining this information with MFI and RSI readings can help traders assess the strength of a trend. For example, during a strong uptrend, if MFI and RSI are high and Bollinger Bands are expanding, it may suggest a sustained bullish trend.
Identifying Trend Reversals:
The combination of MFI, RSI, and Bollinger Bands can be useful in identifying potential trend reversals. For instance, if MFI and RSI are in overbought conditions and the price is significantly above the upper Bollinger Band, it may signal that the trend is reaching an extreme and could reverse. Conversely, if MFI and RSI are in oversold conditions and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may suggest that selling pressure is exhausted, and a reversal might be in play.
Comprehensive Market Assessment:
By merging these indicators, traders get a more comprehensive view of market conditions. They can assess both momentum (MFI and RSI) and volatility (Bollinger Bands) simultaneously, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that no single indicator or combination of indicators guarantees accurate predictions in trading. Traders should use these tools as part of a broader analysis and consider other factors such as fundamental analysis, market trends, and risk management.
Bolton-Tremblay IndexThe Bolton-Tremblay Index (BOLTR) is a dynamic cumulative advance-decline indicator which incorporates the count of unchanged issues as a fundamental element. This index serves as a valuable tool for identifying shifts in market trends and gauging the overall strength or weakness of the market. To enhance its effectiveness and reveal underlying trends, BOLTR has been refined through a Heiken-Ashi transformation, resulting in a smoother and more insightful representation.
Calculation and Methodology:
r = (adv - dec) / unch
var float bt = na
bt := r > 0 ? nz(bt ) + math.sqrt(math.abs(r)) : nz(bt ) - math.sqrt(math.abs(r))
The BOLTR index is derived from a calculation involving three essential components: advancing issues (ADV), declining issues (DEC), and securities with unchanged closing prices (UNC). By formulating the ratio (ADV - DEC) / UNC, BOLTR captures the relationship between market movements and unchanged securities. This ratio then dictates whether the BOLTR index increases or decreases in the following period. If the ratio is positive, the index advances, and if negative, it retreats. This iterative process yields a cumulative index that reflects the evolving dynamics of market trends.
Heiken-Ashi Transformation:
The addition of a Heiken-Ashi transformation imparts a smoothing effect to the BOLTR index, revealing the underlying trend with greater clarity. This transformation diminishes noise and fluctuations, making it easier to identify meaningful shifts in market sentiment and overall market health.
Utility and Use Cases:
-The Bolton-Tremblay Index offers a range of applications that contribute to informed decision-making-
1. Trend Analysis: BOLTR provides insights into the changing trends of the market, helping traders and investors identify potential shifts in market sentiment.
2. Market Strength Assessment: By considering advancing, declining, and unchanged issues, BOLTR offers a comprehensive assessment of market strength and potential weaknesses.
3. Divergences: Traders can use BOLTR to detect divergences between price movements and the cumulative advance-decline dynamics, potentially signaling shifts in market direction.
The Bolton-Tremblay Index offers a versatile toolset for interpreting market trends, evaluating market health, and making better informed trading decisions.

RVol LabelThis Code is update version of Code Provided by @ssbukam, Here is Link to his original Code and review the Description
Below is Original Description
1. When chart resolution is Daily or Intraday (D, 4H, 1H, 5min, etc), Relative Volume shows value based on DAILY. RVol is measured on daily basis to compare past N number of days.
2. When resolution is changed to Weekly or Monthly, then Relative Volume shows corresponding value. i.e. Weekly shows weekly relative volume of this week compared to past 'N' weeks. Likewise for Monthly. You would see change in label name. Like, Weekly chart shows W_RVol (Weekly Relative Volume). Likewise, Daily & Intraday shows D_RVol. Monthly shows M_RVol (Monthly Relative Volume).
3. Added a plot (by default hidden) for this specific reason: When you move the cursor to focus specific candle, then Indicator Value displays relative volume of that specific candle. This applies to Intraday as well. So if you're in 1HR chart and move the cursor to a specific candle, Indicator Value shows relative volume for that specific candlestick bar.
4. Updating the script so that text size and location can be customized.
Changes to Updated Label by me
1. Added Today's Volume to the Label
2. Added Total Average Volume to the Label
3. Comparison vs Both in Single Line and showing how much volume has traded vs the average volume for that time of the day
4. Aesthetic Look of the Label
How to Use Relative Volume for Trading
Using Relative Volume (RVol) in trading can be a valuable tool to help you identify potential trading opportunities and gain insight into market behavior. Here are some ways to use RVol in your trading strategy:
Identifying High-Volume Breakouts: RVol can help you spot potential breakouts when the volume surges significantly above its average. High RVol during a breakout suggests strong market interest, increasing the probability of a sustained move in the direction of the breakout.
Confirming Trends and Reversals: RVol can act as a confirmation tool for trends and reversals. A trend accompanied by rising RVol indicates a strong and sustainable move. Conversely, a trend with declining RVol might suggest a weakening trend or potential reversal.
Spotting Volume Divergence: When the price is moving in one direction, but RVol is declining or not confirming the move, it may indicate a divergence. This discrepancy could suggest a potential reversal or trend change.
Support and Resistance Confirmation: High RVol near key support or resistance levels can indicate potential price reactions at those levels. This confirmation can be valuable in determining whether a level is likely to hold or break.
Filtering Trade Signals: Incorporate RVol into your existing trading strategy as a filter. For example, you might consider taking trades only if RVol is above a certain threshold, ensuring that you focus on high-impact trading opportunities.
Avoiding Low-Volume Traps: Low RVol can indicate a lack of interest or participation in the market. In such situations, price movements may be erratic and less reliable, so it's often wise to avoid trading during low RVol periods.
Monitoring News Events: Around significant news events or earnings releases, RVol can help you gauge the market's reaction to the information. High RVol during such events can present trading opportunities but be cautious of increased volatility and potential gaps.
Adjusting Trade Size: During periods of extremely high RVol, it might be prudent to adjust your position size to account for higher risk.
Using Relative Volume in Morning Session
If the Volume traded in first 15 minute to 30 Minutes is already at 50% or 100% depending upon the ticker, it means that it is going to have very high Volume vs average by end of the day.
This gives me conviction for Long or Short Trades
Remember that RVol is not a standalone indicator; it works best when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools. Additionally, RVol's effectiveness may vary across different markets and trading strategies. Therefore, backtesting and validating the use of RVol in your trading approach is essential.
Lastly, risk management is crucial in trading. While RVol can provide valuable insights, it cannot guarantee profitable trades. Always use appropriate risk management strategies, such as setting stop-loss levels, and avoid overexposing yourself to the market based solely on RVol readings.
Volume Price Trend (VPT)
The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is a technical analysis indicator that combines price and volume data. It's used to identify the direction of a trend or to confirm the strength of a trend. The indicator was developed on the premise that volume often precedes price.
Working of VPT:
VPT is calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of the percentage change in the share price trend and current volume, depending upon the direction of the share price. The starting point of the VPT line is arbitrary.
The formula for calculating VPT is:
VPT = Previous VPT + Volume x (Today's Close - Previous Close)
This formula adds the total volume traded on the days the price went up, and subtracts the total volume on the days the price went down.
For each period:
If the closing price is higher than the previous closing price, the volume for that period is added to the previous VPT.
If the closing price is lower than the previous closing price, the volume for that period is subtracted from the previous VPT.
If the closing price is the same as the previous closing price, the volume for that period does not affect the VPT (i.e., it remains the same as the previous VPT).
Usage and Interpretation of VPT:
The primary use of the VPT is to help confirm the condition of prices. It’s usually used in combination with other technical analysis indicators. Here are some ways traders use the VPT:
Trend Confirmation: A rising VPT line typically confirms an uptrend as it shows that volume is increasing as prices increase. Conversely, a falling VPT line confirms a downtrend.
Divergences: Traders often look for divergences between the VPT and price movements as a sign of upcoming reversals. If prices are rising and the VPT is falling, it suggests that the upward trend may not sustain because it isn't being supported by volume. Similarly, if prices are falling and the VPT is rising, it suggests the downward trend may reverse soon.
Change in Trend: A sudden sharp increase in the VPT could signal a possible change in trend. This is based on the belief that volume changes before price.
In the script provided, the VPT is calculated and then rescaled to a 0-100 scale, which makes it easier to compare across different stocks or time periods. This script also colors the VPT line based on whether it's increasing or decreasing. The color is green when VPT is increasing, and red when it's decreasing.

R-sqrd Adapt. Fisher Transform w/ D. Zones & Divs. [Loxx]The full name of this indicator is R-Squared Adaptive Fisher Transform w/ Dynamic Zones and Divergences. This is an R-squared adaptive Fisher transform with adjustable dynamic zones, signals, alerts, and divergences.
What is Fisher Transform?
The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator created by John F. Ehlers that converts prices into a Gaussian normal distribution.
The indicator highlights when prices have moved to an extreme, based on recent prices. This may help in spotting turning points in the price of an asset. It also helps show the trend and isolate the price waves within a trend.
What is R-squared Adaptive?
One tool available in forecasting the trendiness of the breakout is the coefficient of determination ( R-squared ), a statistical measurement.
The R-squared indicates linear strength between the security's price (the Y - axis) and time (the X - axis). The R-squared is the percentage of squared error that the linear regression can eliminate if it were used as the predictor instead of the mean value. If the R-squared were 0.99, then the linear regression would eliminate 99% of the error for prediction versus predicting closing prices using a simple moving average .
R-squared is used here to derive an r-squared value that is then modified by a user input "factor"
What are Dynamic Zones?
As explained in "Stocks & Commodities V15:7 (306-310): Dynamic Zones by Leo Zamansky, Ph .D., and David Stendahl"
Most indicators use a fixed zone for buy and sell signals. Here’ s a concept based on zones that are responsive to past levels of the indicator.
One approach to active investing employs the use of oscillators to exploit tradable market trends. This investing style follows a very simple form of logic: Enter the market only when an oscillator has moved far above or below traditional trading lev- els. However, these oscillator- driven systems lack the ability to evolve with the market because they use fixed buy and sell zones. Traders typically use one set of buy and sell zones for a bull market and substantially different zones for a bear market. And therein lies the problem.
Once traders begin introducing their market opinions into trading equations, by changing the zones, they negate the system’s mechanical nature. The objective is to have a system automatically define its own buy and sell zones and thereby profitably trade in any market — bull or bear. Dynamic zones offer a solution to the problem of fixed buy and sell zones for any oscillator-driven system.
An indicator’s extreme levels can be quantified using statistical methods. These extreme levels are calculated for a certain period and serve as the buy and sell zones for a trading system. The repetition of this statistical process for every value of the indicator creates values that become the dynamic zones. The zones are calculated in such a way that the probability of the indicator value rising above, or falling below, the dynamic zones is equal to a given probability input set by the trader.
To better understand dynamic zones, let's first describe them mathematically and then explain their use. The dynamic zones definition:
Find V such that:
For dynamic zone buy: P{X <= V}=P1
For dynamic zone sell: P{X >= V}=P2
where P1 and P2 are the probabilities set by the trader, X is the value of the indicator for the selected period and V represents the value of the dynamic zone.
The probability input P1 and P2 can be adjusted by the trader to encompass as much or as little data as the trader would like. The smaller the probability, the fewer data values above and below the dynamic zones. This translates into a wider range between the buy and sell zones. If a 10% probability is used for P1 and P2, only those data values that make up the top 10% and bottom 10% for an indicator are used in the construction of the zones. Of the values, 80% will fall between the two extreme levels. Because dynamic zone levels are penetrated so infrequently, when this happens, traders know that the market has truly moved into overbought or oversold territory.
Calculating the Dynamic Zones
The algorithm for the dynamic zones is a series of steps. First, decide the value of the lookback period t. Next, decide the value of the probability Pbuy for buy zone and value of the probability Psell for the sell zone.
For i=1, to the last lookback period, build the distribution f(x) of the price during the lookback period i. Then find the value Vi1 such that the probability of the price less than or equal to Vi1 during the lookback period i is equal to Pbuy. Find the value Vi2 such that the probability of the price greater or equal to Vi2 during the lookback period i is equal to Psell. The sequence of Vi1 for all periods gives the buy zone. The sequence of Vi2 for all periods gives the sell zone.
In the algorithm description, we have: Build the distribution f(x) of the price during the lookback period i. The distribution here is empirical namely, how many times a given value of x appeared during the lookback period. The problem is to find such x that the probability of a price being greater or equal to x will be equal to a probability selected by the user. Probability is the area under the distribution curve. The task is to find such value of x that the area under the distribution curve to the right of x will be equal to the probability selected by the user. That x is the dynamic zone.
