New RSI📌 New RSI
The New RSI is a modern, enhanced version of the classic RSI created in 1978 — redesigned for today’s fast-moving markets, where algorithmic trading and AI dominate price action.
This indicator combines:
Adaptive RSI: Adjusts its calculation length in real time based on market volatility, making it more responsive during high volatility and smoother during calm periods.
Dynamic Bands: Upper and lower bands calculated from historical RSI volatility, helping you spot overbought/oversold conditions with greater accuracy.
Trend & Regime Filters: EMA and ADX-based detection to confirm signals only in favorable market conditions.
Volume Confirmation: Signals appear only when high trading volume supports the move — green volume for bullish setups and red volume for bearish setups — filtering out weak and unreliable trades.
💡 How it works:
A LONG signal appears when RSI crosses above the lower band and the volume is high with a bullish candle.
A SHORT signal appears when RSI crosses below the upper band and the volume is high with a bearish candle.
Trend and higher timeframe filters (optional) can help improve precision and adapt to different trading styles.
✅ Best Use Cases:
Identify high-probability reversals or pullbacks with strong momentum confirmation.
Avoid false signals by trading only when volume validates the move.
Combine with your own support/resistance or price action strategy for even higher accuracy.
⚙️ Fully Customizable:
Adjustable RSI settings (length, volatility adaptation, smoothing)
Dynamic band sensitivity
Volume threshold multiplier
Higher timeframe RSI filter
Color-coded background for market regime visualization
This is not just another RSI — it’s a complete, next-gen momentum tool designed for traders who want accuracy, adaptability, and confirmation in every signal.

ATR Circle PlotTitle: ATR Circle Plot
Short Title: ATR Circle Plot
Description:
ATR Circle Plot is a dynamic overlay indicator that visualizes volatility-based levels around the open price of each bar, using the Average True Range (ATR). It plots two customizable levels—Upper and Lower ATR—calculated by multiplying the ATR by a user-defined factor (default: 1.0) and adding/subtracting it from the open price. These levels are displayed as colored circles on the chart, ideal for identifying potential breakout or stop-loss zones. A movable table summarizes the ATR value, Upper Level, and Lower Level with tick precision, and a new toggleable label feature displays these values directly on the chart for quick reference.
Perfect for traders in volatile markets like forex, futures, or stocks, this indicator helps set risk parameters or spot key price levels. Users can adjust the ATR timeframe, length, multiplier, table position, and circle colors to suit their strategy. The optional chart labels enhance usability by overlaying ATR metrics at the latest price levels, reducing the need to check the table during fast-moving markets.
Key Features:
Plots Upper and Lower ATR levels as colored circles around the open price.
Toggleable table (top/bottom, left/right) showing ATR and level values in ticks.
Optional chart labels for ATR, Upper, and Lower levels, toggleable via input.
Customizable ATR length, multiplier, timeframe, and colors for flexibility.
Lightweight and compatible with any chart timeframe.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the ATR length, multiplier, and timeframe as needed. Enable/disable the table or labels based on your preference. Use the Upper and Lower ATR levels as dynamic support/resistance or stop-loss guides. For example, place stops beyond the Upper/Lower levels or target breakouts when price crosses them. Combine with trend or momentum indicators for a robust setup.
Note: Leave the ATR Timeframe input empty to use the chart’s timeframe, or specify a higher timeframe (e.g., “D” for daily) for broader volatility context. Ensure your chart’s tick size aligns with the asset for accurate table values.

Risk Context + Position SizingWhat This Indicator Does (And Doesn't Do)
This is NOT a buy/sell signal indicator. Instead, it's a risk management tool that helps you understand two critical things:
How volatile the market is right now (compared to recent history)
How much you should risk on your next trade based on that volatility
The Core Problem It Solves
Imagine you always risk the same amount on every trade - say $100. But sometimes the market is calm and predictable, other times it's wild and unpredictable. This indicator says: "Hey, the market is going crazy right now - maybe only risk $70 instead of your usual $100."
How It Works
Measures Market "Nervousness"
Uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure how much prices typically move each day
Compares today's volatility to the past 100 days
Shows you a percentile (0-100%) - higher = more volatile
Categorizes Risk Environment
LOW (green): Market is calm, you can size up slightly
NORMAL: Standard conditions, use your normal position size
HIGH (red): Market is jumpy, reduce your position size
EXTREME (dark red): Market is in chaos, significantly reduce size
Important Disclaimers
This doesn't predict price direction - it only measures current market stress
You still need a trading strategy - this just helps you size it properly
Past volatility doesn't guarantee future volatility
Always combine with proper stop losses and risk management
Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram📝 Description :
🌀 Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram — A Custom Momentum and Volatility Fusion Tool
The Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram is a unique technical analysis tool designed to visualize sudden changes in price momentum in the form of a dynamic, color-coded histogram. This indicator helps traders identify trend accelerations, early momentum shifts, and potential exhaustion in real time.
By combining a MACD-like momentum engine with a volatility-sensitive Bollinger Band range, this script offers an enhanced view of market bursts — moments where momentum "pops" beyond typical ranges. The result is a refined perspective on market sentiment, helping traders to anticipate reversals, follow breakouts, and assess the relative strength of ongoing trends.
🧠 Core Methodology
The indicator calculates the difference between a fast and slow EMA (Exponential Moving Average), similar to a MACD histogram.
This difference is then compared across candles to gauge the rate of change in momentum — referred to here as a “momentum burst.”
A sensitivity multiplier allows you to scale the response based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
A volatility band, derived from Bollinger Band logic, is used to frame the relative intensity of the momentum change.
The histogram is divided into two parts:
Green/Lime Bars represent increasing and decreasing bullish momentum.
Red/Orange Bars represent increasing and decreasing bearish momentum.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
Momentum Sensitivity: Adjust the responsiveness of the burst detection mechanism.
Short EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the fast EMA.
Long EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the slow EMA.
Volatility Band Length: Controls the length used for Bollinger Band calculations.
Band Std Dev Multiplier: Adjusts how wide the volatility range should be, based on price dispersion.
📈 How to Use It
Use the green/red histogram bars to visually gauge momentum strength and direction.
Watch for transitions in color intensity (e.g., green to lime, red to orange) as early warning signs of trend exhaustion or reversal.
Combine with other indicators like RSI, MACD, ADX, or volume profiles to confirm entry/exit points.
Useful in both trending and ranging markets, especially on lower timeframes for scalping or intraday setups.
✅ Key Features
Easy-to-read histogram with intuitive color coding.
Fully customizable settings for fine-tuned signal control.
Can be used on any asset class — stocks, forex, crypto, commodities.
Optimized for real-time use with minimal lag.

Volatility Layered Supertrend [NLR]We’ve all used Supertrend, but do you know where to actually enter a trade? Volatility Layered Supertrend (VLS) is here to solve that! This advanced trend-following indicator builds on the classic Supertrend by not only identifying trends and their strength but also guiding you to the best trade entry points. VLS divides the main long-term trend into “Strong” and “Weak” Zones, with a clear “Trade Entry Zone” to help you time your trades with precision. With layered trends, dynamic profit targets, and volatility-adaptive bands, VLS delivers actionable signals for any market.
Why I Created VLS Over a Plain Supertrend
I built VLS to address the gaps in traditional Supertrend usage and make trade entries clearer:
Single-Line Supertrend Issues: The default Supertrend sets stop-loss levels that are too wide, making it impractical for most traders to use effectively.
Unclear Entry Points: Standard Supertrend doesn’t tell you where to enter a trade, often leaving you guessing or entering too early or late.
Multi-Line Supertrend Enhancement: Many traders use short, medium, and long Supertrends, which is helpful but can lack focus. In VLS, I include Short, Medium, and Long trends (using multipliers 1 to 3), and add multipliers 4 and 5 to track extra long-term trends—helping to avoid fakeouts that sometimes occur with multiplier 3.
My Solution: I focused on the main long-term Supertrend and split it into “Weak Zone” and “Strength Zone” to show the trend’s reliability. I also defined a “Trade Entry Zone” (starting from the Mid Point, with the first layer’s background hidden for clarity) to guide you on where to enter trades. The zones include Short, Medium, and Long Trend layers for precise entries, exits, and stop-losses.
Practical Trading: This approach provides realistic stop-loss levels, clear entry points, and a “Profit Target” line that aligns with your risk tolerance, while filtering out false signals with longer-term trends.
Key Features
Layered Trend Zones: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend layers (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for timing entries and exits.
Strong & Weak Zones: See when the trend is reliable (Strength Zone) or needs caution (Weak Zone).
Trade Entry Zone: A dedicated zone starting from the Mid Point (first layer’s background hidden) to show the best entry points.
Dynamic Profit Targets: A “Profit Target” line that adjusts with the trend for clear goals.
Volatility-Adaptive: Uses ATR to adapt to market conditions, ensuring reliable signals.
Color-Coded: Green for uptrends, red for downtrends—simple and clear.
How It Works
VLS enhances the main long-term Supertrend by dividing it into two zones:
Weak Zone: Indicates a less reliable trend—use tighter stop-losses or wait for the price to reach the Trade Entry Zone.
Strength Zone: Signals a strong trend—ideal for entries with wider stop-losses for bigger moves.
The “Trade Entry Zone” starts at the Mid Point (last layer’s background hidden for clarity), showing you the best area to enter trades. Each zone includes Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long Trend sublevels (up to multipliers 4 and 5) for precise trade timing and to filter out fakeouts. The “Profit Target” updates dynamically based on trend direction and volatility, giving you a clear goal.
How to Use
Spot the Trend: Green bands = buy, red bands = sell.
Check Strength: Price in Strength Zone? Trend’s reliable—trade confidently. In Weak Zone? Use tighter stops or wait.
Enter Trades: Use the “Trade Entry Zone” (from the Mid Point upward) for the best entry points.
Use Sublevels: Short, Medium, Long, and Extra Long layers in each zone help fine-tune entries and exits.
Set Targets: Follow the Profit Target line for goals—it updates automatically.
Combine Tools: Pair with RSI, MACD, or support/resistance for added confirmation.
Settings
ATR Length: Adjust the ATR period (default 10) to change sensitivity.
Up/Down Colors: Customize colors—green for up, red for down, by default.
VIX Spike StrategyThis script implements a trading strategy based on the Volatility Index (VIX) and its standard deviation. It aims to enter a long position when the VIX exceeds a certain number of standard deviations above its moving average, which is a signal of a volatility spike. The position is then exited after a set number of periods.
VIX Symbol (vix_symbol): The input allows the user to specify the symbol for the VIX index (typically "CBOE:VIX").
Standard Deviation Length (stddev_length): The number of periods used to calculate the standard deviation of the VIX. This can be adjusted by the user.
Standard Deviation Multiplier (stddev_multiple): This multiplier is used to determine how many standard deviations above the moving average the VIX must exceed to trigger a long entry.
Exit Periods (exit_periods): The user specifies how many periods after entering the position the strategy will exit the trade.
Strategy Logic:
Data Loading: The script loads the VIX data, both for the current timeframe and as a rescaled version for calculation purposes.
Standard Deviation Calculation: It calculates both the moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation of the VIX over the specified period (stddev_length).
Entry Condition: A long position is entered when the VIX exceeds the moving average by a specified multiple of its standard deviation (calculated as vix_mean + stddev_multiple * vix_stddev).
Exit Condition: After the position is entered, it will be closed after the user-defined number of periods (exit_periods).
Visualization:
The VIX is plotted in blue.
The moving average of the VIX is plotted in orange.
The threshold for the VIX, which is the moving average plus the standard deviation multiplier, is plotted in red.
The background turns green when the entry condition is met, providing a visual cue.
Sources:
The VIX is often used as a measure of market volatility, with high values indicating increased uncertainty in the market.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variability or dispersion of a set of data points. In financial markets, it is used to measure the volatility of asset prices.

Elder Impulse System + ATR BandsDisregard the above chart, I am not sure why it isn't showing the one I want, which is linked below:
This is as far as I can tell the closest representation to Dr. Alexander Elder's updated "Elder Impulse System" that has added ATR-volatility bands up to 3x deviations from price. I got the idea from watching this recent video (www.youtube.com) of Dr. Elder reviewing some recent trades and noticed he had updated his system from his original books. The Impulse System colour coding was inspired by AstralLoverFlow and LazyBear. ATR Bands are pre-programmed Keltner Channels with some modifications such as filing in the ATR Zones with user-selected colour bands and modifying the ATR value to better suit the volatility of the market being traded.
The script has several components, which I will detail below:
Exponential Moving Averages:
1) A 13-period EMA that is used as a staple in all of Dr. Elder's technical analysis. He uses this EMA as the basis for all of his indicators and why it is included here.
2) A 26-period EMA which can be used as a base-line of sorts to filter when to go long or when to go short. For instance, price over the 26-EMA, price is strong and the rally upwards is likely to continue, underneath it, price is weak and likely to continue downwards for a time.
Volatility Bands:
By definition these are nothing more than 3 separate Keltner Channels of a 13-period EMA each set to one additional multiplier from the moving average. This gives us a 1x, 2x, and 3x multiplier of average volatility from the 13-period EMA based on a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) reading. The ATR was chosen as it accommodates price gaps and also is the standard formula calculation in TradingView. The values of the bands cannot be adjusted but the colour coding of them can be.
Elder Impulse System:
These colour-coded bars show you the strength and direction of the current chart resolution, calculated by the slope of a 13-period EMA and the slope of a MACD histogram. These are used not as a buying or selling recommendation alone but as trend filters, as per Dr. Elder's own description of them.
Green Bars = The 13-period EMA is sloping positively and the MACD histogram is rising compared to previous bars. The trader should only consider buying/long opportunities when a green bar is most recent.
Red Bars = The 13-period EMA is sloping negatively and the MACD histogram is falling compared to previous bars. The trader should only consider selling/short opportunities when a red bar is most recent.
Blue Bars = The 13-period EMA and the MACD histogram are not aligned. One of the indicators is sloping opposite to the other indicator. These are known as indecision bars and are typically seen near the end of a previously established trend. The trader can choose to wait for either a green or red bar to shape their trading bias if they are more risk-averse while a counter-trend trader may decide to try opening a position against the currently-established trend.
How To Trade the System:
This system is unique in that it is so versatile and will fit the styles of many traders, be it trend following traders (generally the original Elder Impulse System design) or mean-reversion/counter-trend trading (the original Keltner Channel design). None of the examples below or in the chart above are financial advice and are just there for demonstration purposes only.
1) The most basic signal given would be the moving average cross up or down. A cross of the 13-EMA over the 26-EMA signals upward trend strength and the trader could look for buying opportunities. Conversely, the 13-EMA under the 26-EMA shows downward trend strength and the trader could look for selling opportunities.
2) Following the Elder Impulse system in conjunction with the EMAs. Look for long opportunities when a green bar is printed and price is over both of the 13- and 26-period EMAs. Look for short opportunities when a red bar is printed and price is below both of the 13- and 26-period EMAs. Keep in mind this does not necessarily need a moving average cross to be viable, a green or red bar over both EMAs is a valid signal in this system, usually. Examine price more closely for better entry signals when a blue bar is printed and price is either above or below both EMAs if you are a trend trader. This is how Dr. Elder originally intended the system to be used in conjunction with his famous Triple Screen Trading System. I am not going into detail here as it is a deep subject but I would suggest an interested trader to examine this Triple Screen System further as it is widely accepted as a strong strategy.
3) Mean Reversion and Counter-Trend Trading. Dr. Elder mentions that the zone between the two EMAs is called the Value Zone. A mean reversion trader could look for buying opportunities if price has generally been in an uptrend and falls back to value, conversely, they could look for shorting opportunities if price has generally been in a downtrend and rises back to value. These are your very basic pull backs found in trends that create your higher lows in an uptrend or your lower highs in a downtrend. A mean reversion/scalper trader may also look to use the upper and lower most ATR bands as an indication of price being overbought or oversold and could look to enter a counter-trend trade here once a blue indecision bar is printed and to ride that move back down to the Value Zone.
Taking Profits and Risk Management
This system again is very versatile and will fit a wide range of trading styles. It has built in take profit levels and risk management depending on your style of trading.
1a) In original Triple Screen Trading (and the original Elder Impulse system), a trader was to place a buy order one tick above a newly printed green bar with a stop loss one tick below the most recent 2-day low, and vice-versa for red bars on short selling. as long as other criteria were met, that I will not go into. It is all over YouTube and in his books and on Investopedia if you want more information. The general idea is to continue the trend in the direction if price is strong and you are bought into that move with a close stop, or if price falls back a little bit, you can get in at a better price. This would be a system typically better suited to a scalper.
1b) The updated risk management according to the above video is to place a stop loss at least 2ATR away from price. These bands already have calculated these values so a trader can place a stop one tick below the 2 or even 3ATR zones depending on their risk appetite. This is assuming you have already received a strong buy signal based on the system you follow. This would be a system typically better suited to a trend-trader.
2a) Taking profits if you are a trend trader has several possibilities. The first, as Dr. Elder suggests, is to place a price target 2ATR values away from your entry giving you approximately a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
2b) The second possibility if the trade is successful is to ride the trend upwards until a blue bar is printed, suggesting indecision in the market. A modified version of this that could let a winning trade run longer is to wait for the price to close under the 13-EMA in fast markets, or close under the 26-EMA in slightly slower markets to maximize potential winnings.
2c) A scalper trader may wish to have a target at either the value zone if they are playing an extended buy/short back to the mean, or if they are being at the mean, to sell or cover when price extends back out to the 2x or 3x zone.
3) Trend traders can additionally use the ATR zones as a sort of safety guidelines for entering a trade. Anything within the 1ATR zone is typically a safer entry as the market is less volatile at this time. Entering when price has gone into the 2ATR zone is signaled as a strong momentum move and can signal a stronger move in the direction of the current closing bar. While not always the case, it is suggested by Dr. Elder to not enter trend trades at the 3ATR zone as this is where you will be likely looking for a counter-trend retracement back to value and a trader entering here in the direction of the trade has a higher chance of being stopped out or not getting in at the best possible price.
vol_bracketThis simple script shows an "N" standard deviation volatility bracket, anchored at the opening price of the current month, week, or quarter. This anchor is meant to coincide roughly with the expiration of options issued at the same interval. You can choose between a manually-entered IV or the hv30 volatility model.
Unlike my previous scripts, which all show the volatility bracket as a rolling figure, the anchor helps to visualize the volatility estimate in relation to price as it ranges over the (approximate) lifetime of a single, real contract.
Standard Error of the Estimate -Jon Andersen- V2Original implementation idea of bands by:
Traders issue: Stocks & Commodities V. 14:9 (375-379):
Standard Error Bands by Jon Andersen
Standard Error Bands are quite different than Bollinger's.
First, they are bands constructed around a linear regression curve.
Second, the bands are based on two standard errors above and below this regression line.
The error bands measure the standard error of the estimate around the linear regression line.
Therefore, as a price series follows the course of the regression line the bands will narrow , showing little error in the estimate. As the market gets noisy and random, the error will be greater resulting in wider bands .
Thanks to the work of @glaz & @XeL_arjona
In this version you can change the type of moving averages and the source of the bands.
Add a few studies of @dgtrd
1- ADX Colored Directional Movement Line
Directional Movement (DMI) (created by J. Welles Wilder ) consists of the Average Directional Index ( ADX ), to define whether or not there is a trend present, and Plus Directional Indicator (+D I) and Minus Directional Indicator (-D I) serve the purpose of determining trend direction
ADX Colored Directional Movement Line is custom interpretation of Directional Movement (DMI) with aim to present all 3 DMI indicator components with SINGLE line and ability to be added on top of the price chart (main chart)
How to interpret :
* triangle shapes:
▲- bullish : diplus >= diminus
▼- bearish : diplus < diminus
* colors:
green - bullish trend : adx >= strongTrend and di+ > di-
red - bearish trend : adx >= strongTrend and di+ < di-
gray - no trend : weekTrend < adx < strongTrend
yellow - week trend : adx < weekTrend
* color density:
darker : adx growing
lighter : adx falling
2- Volatility Colored Price/MA Line
Custom interpretation of the idea “Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement”. Further details can be found under study “Price Distance to its MA by DGT”
How to interpret :
-▲ – Bullish , Price Action above Moving Average
-▼ – Bearish , Price Action below Moving Average
-Gray/Black - Low Volatility
-Green/Red – Price Action in Threshold Bands
-Dark Green/Red – Price Action Exceeds Threshold Bands
3- Volume Weighted Bar s
Volume Weighted Bars, a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç, aims to present whether volume supports price movements. Volume Weighted Bars are calculated based on volume moving average.
How to interpret :
-Volume high above the volume moving average be displayed with red/green colors
-Average volume values will remain as they are and
-Volume low below the volume moving average will be indicated with darker colors
4- Fear & Greed index value, using technical anlysis approach calculated based on :
⮩1 - Price Momentum : Price Distance to its Moving Average
⮩2 - Strenght : Rate of Return, price movement over a period of time
⮩3 - Money Flow : Chaikin Money Flow, quantify changes in buying and selling pressure. CMF calculations is based on Accumulation/Distribution
⮩4 - Market Volatility : CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ), the Volatility Index, or VIX , is a real-time market index that represents the market's expectation. It provides a measure of market risk and investors' sentiments
⮩5 -Safe Haven Demand: in this study GOLD demand is assumed
Williams Vix Fix BB + RVI + LinReg & Squeeze (Keltner) BBW + %BLegend:
Entery signal: When line color turns to lime (lighter green) after a blue dot appears
Exit signal: When line color turns to red (darker red) after a red dot appears
Note: it is more affective as an entry signal (Bottom is stronger)
- When line touches or crosses red band it is Top signal (Williams Vix Fix)
- When line touches or crosses blue band it is Bottom signal (Williams Vix Fix)
- Red dot at the top of indicator is a Top signal (Relative Volatility Index)
- Blue dot at the top of indicator is a Bottom signal (Relative Volatility Index)
- Gray dot at the bottom of indicator is a Keltner Squeeze signal (filtered by either BBW or %B)
- Silver dot at the bottom of indicator is a weaker Keltner Squeeze signal (Doesn't meet either BBW or %B filter)
- Purple is a 'Half Squeeze' only 1 Bollinger Band crossed the Keltner Channel
This is an attempt to make use of the main features of all 6 of these Volatility tools:
- Williams Vix Fix + Bollinger Bands
- Relative Volatility Index (RVI)
- Linear Regression (detects Vix Fix starts to rise or fall to a certain degree in order to help validate bottom/top)
Note : There is also added precision on Linear Regression entry by dividing WVF by square roots of basis.
- The crossing of Keltner Channel by the Bollinger Bands (Squeeze)
Conditions to Help Filter Keltner Squeeze:
- When the Bollinger Bands Width (BBW) value is lower than the lowest value within a period plus a margin of error (percentage)
- When the %B value goes up or down by the impulse value (threshold value in setting) detailed in LazyBears indicator. (www.tradingview.com)
If it meets one of these 2 filters and there is a Keltner Channel Squeeze than gray color or else if the squeeze doesn’t meet one of the 2 filters than silver color (weaker Squeeze).
The goal is to find the best tool to find bottoms and top relative to volatility and filter squeeze.
Note: You can also change the threshold for RVI top and bottom.
And this work builds on my last indicators:
- Williams Vix Fix + BB & RVI (Top/Bottom) & Squeeze ()
- Williams Vix Fix BB + RVI & Squeeze (Keltner) filtered BBW + %B ()
If you have ideas on this work or have ideas on potential combinations please message me, I always want to learn or get perspective on how it can be improved.
Sharing is how we get better (Parameter tuning, ideas, discussion)
I don’t reinvent the wheel, just trying to make the wheel better.
BankNifty Multi-TimeFrames Price Panel [MaestroTrader]█ OVERVIEW
Price Panel provides Nifty /BankNifty Index comprehensive Price Insights on different time intervals. It helps to determine the trend of Index using top Index Heavy Weights along with Dow, India VIX & Index Spot Prices. It helps to determine the price behavior of the underlying Index/stock to make informed decisions while trading.
█ FEATURES
a) Displays Price in Multi Time Frames for Multi time frame analysis
b) Displays Weighted Securities price for Weighted INDEX price analysis.
c) Displays INDIA VIX and DOW for Combined INDIX VOLATALITY Analysis
█ MUTLI TIME FRAME ANALYSIS
How to use Multiple time frame analysis?
Multiple time frame analysis follows a top-down approach when trading and allows traders to gauge the longer-term trend while spotting ideal entries on a smaller time frame. Traders can then conduct technical analysis using multiple time frames to confirm or reject their trading bias.
Multiple time frame analysis, is the process of viewing the same symbols under different time frames. Usually, the larger time frame is used to establish a longer-term trend, while a shorter time frame is used to spot ideal entries into the market.
Let’s Say 75 & 15 TF’s Trend is up, then shorter time 5M is used to spot ideal entries on long side.
█ WEIGHTED INDEXS PRICE ANALYSIS
How to use Weighted Index Price Movement in Multi timeframes?
The index future trading price is based on the trading prices of the individual securities (stocks) that comprise the index basket. In other words, the stocks with higher weights will have more impact on the movement of the index. Price Panel provides the insights of these heavy weight stock price movement in different time frames, that can help you confirm or reject your trading bias.
HDFC Bank (28% Weight) will have more impact on the BankNifty Movement. By looking the top 4 bank's price movement in different timeframes, you can derive the BankNifty price trend.
█ VOLATALITY ANALYSIS
India VIX is a short form for India Volatility Index. It is the volatility index that measures the market’s expectation of volatility over the near term.
A lower VIX level usually implies that the market is confident about the movement and is expecting lower volatility and a stable range.
A higher VIX level usually signals high volatility and lower trader confidence about the current range of the market. A major directional move can be expected in the market and a quick broadening of range can be expected.

Bollinger Band Calculation ToolIntroducing the Bollinger Band Calculation Tool
What are Bollinger Bands ?
According to Investopedia ....
"In the 1980s, John Bollinger, a long-time technician of the markets, developed the technique of using a moving average with two trading bands above and below it.
Unlike a percentage calculation from a normal moving average, Bollinger Bands® simply add and subtract a standard deviation calculation.
Standard deviation is a mathematical formula that measures volatility, showing how the stock price can vary from its true value.
By measuring price volatility, Bollinger Bands® adjust themselves to market conditions.
This is what makes them so handy for traders; they can find almost all of the price data needed between the two bands."
Classic interpretations of Bollinger bands from Fidelity Investments....
"When the bands tighten during a period of low volatility, it raises the likelihood of a sharp price move in either direction.
This may begin a trending move. Watch out for a false move in opposite direction which reverses before the proper trend begins.
When the bands separate by an unusual large amount, volatility increases and any existing trend may be ending.
Prices have a tendency to bounce within the bands' envelope, touching one band then moving to the other band.
You can use these swings to help identify potential profit targets.
For example, if a price bounces off the lower band and then crosses above the moving average, the upper band then becomes the profit target.
Price can exceed or hug a band envelope for prolonged periods during strong trends.
On divergence with a momentum oscillator, you may want to do additional research to determine if taking additional profits is appropriate for you.
A strong trend continuation can be expected when the price moves out of the bands.
However, if prices move immediately back inside the band, then the suggested strength is negated."
This indicator contains a standard set of Bollinger Bands with the addition of a Test Closing Price calculation function.
It displays a standard set of Bollinger Bands by default.
How do I use the Test Closing Price function ?
Enter a test price in the Test Closing Price box in the settings, and then click the "Use Test Price" button.
The indicator will then replace the current Bollinger upper, lower and basis-lines with plots showing the resultant lines if price were to close at the Test Closing Price.
An information panel will appear which displays the test closing price and the resulting Bollinger-upper, Bollinger-lower and basis-line prices.
Can display up to 10 decimal places and has adjustable label offset.
It will also plot lines outlining the resultant closed candle body for clarity.
To return to "Standard Bollingers" just click off the "Use Test Price" button.
Knowing exactly what the Bollinger bands and Basis will do if a particular closing price is met can be useful in a variety of ways to traders who use Bollinger Bands® in their trading.
It is possible to work out exactly what closing price is required to get above or below a Bollinger band which is normally difficult as Bollingers react to the change in price.
Users can also experiment with different Test Closing Prices [/i to see exactly what effect this would have on the Basis moving average and on the Bollinger bands themselves.
MOVE/VXTLT CorrelationMany know of the VIX for equity trading. Yet, many are unaware that there is the same kind of volatility measure for trading bonds, called the MOVE Index.
"The Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index is a yield curve weighted index of the normalized implied volatility on 1-month Treasury options which are weighted on the 2, 5, 10, and 30 year contracts."
With this script one can see the the correlation and divergences between bonds and its volatility measure to make educated decisions in trading or hedging.
The idea of this script comes from NicTheMajestic.
Turtle N NormalizedSimple script that calculates the normalized value of N. Rules taken from an online PDF containing the original Turtle system:
"The Turtles used a volatility-based constant percentage risk position sizing algorithm. The Turtles used a concept that Richard Dennis and Bill Eckhardt called N to represent the underlying volatility of a particular market.
N is simply the 20-day exponential moving average of the True Range, which is now more commonly known as the ATR. Conceptually, N represents the average range in price movement that a particular market makes in a single day, accounting for opening gaps. N was measured in the same points as the underlying contract.
The Turtles built positions in pieces which we called Units. Units were sized so that 1 N represented 1% of the account equity. Thus, a unit for a given market or commodity can be calculated using the following formula:
Unit = 1% of Account/(N x Dollars per Point)"
To normalize the Unit formula, this script instead takes the value of (close/N). Dollars per point = 1 for stocks and crypto, but will change depending on the contract specifications for individual futures.
"Since the Turtles used the Unit as the base measure for position size, and since those units were volatility risk adjusted, the Unit was a measure of both the risk of a position, and of the entire portfolio of positions."
When the value of N is high, volatility is low and you should be more risk-on.
When the value of N is low, volatility is high and you should be more risk-off.
Bermaui Deviation PercentHow it works
Red & Under 90 = Bearish Volatility
Blue & Under 90 = Bullish Volatility
Red & Under 10 = Strong Bearish Volatility
Blue & Under 10 = Strong Bullish Volatility
White & Over 90 = No Volatility (Indicating trendless chop)
I tried uploading this months ago but was banned or something from doing so.

Multi-Exchange Volume (30 Tickers) by kurtsmock + BV + rVolauthor: kurtsmock
Fully Customizable ticker set. Up to 30 Tickers. Bitcoin set as default.
-- IMPORTANT NOTE: --
30 Exchanges are a lot. It can take a while to load. You can fully customize this indicator to your liking. Here's how:
1. Load indicator
2. Open Settings
3. Uncheck the switch box for exchanges you want unincluded
4. At the bottom of the settings menu click "Defaults" and hit "Save as Default"
5. To turn them all back on, hit "Reset Settings" in that same "Defaults" menu and click "Save as Default" again.
Also, you don't have to use this with Bitcoin. This works with any asset, just change the ticker in the settings.
There's a lot going on with this indicator so the following is descriptions and instructions to help you better understand what's going on here. Thanks!
Goal:
- To provide a mechanism for assets on multiple exchanges to have their volume evaluated together
Edge:
- Having better and more complete volume information
Notes:
- The Default Exchanges for this indicator are highest volume bitcoin exchanges, but may contain "fake volume"
- Indicator is set for Bitcoin by default. However, you can change the tickers to reflect any asset you want
////// rVol //////
Goal:
- To understand how much volume is being executed relative to the same candle on previous days/periods
Edge:
- Higher rVol implies higher volatility and market interest.
- High rVol = higher than average volume . Markets move on volume so higher than average volume indicates increased market activity/volatility
- rVol is an indirect measure of active or anticipated volatility
Definitions:
- rVol: The volume of a period compared to the Average Volume of that same period in past sessions
- Important to note it does NOT add up the last 10 (default) candles, but rather the last 10 candles at session intervals.
- Example:
-- On a Tuesday, 1h chart it will add up the last ten Tuesday, 9:00 am candles, not including the current, active candle.
-- It then averages those lookback candles.
-- It then plots the percentage relationship between the most recent candle and the average of the lookback candles
-- Avg Vol of Lookback candles = 5000,
-- Volume of most recent candle = 4000: Output = rVol = 80:
-- Volume of most recent candle was 80% of the average volume in the 9 am time period of the last ten Tuesdays in the 9 am, 1h period
Notes:
- rVol does not add current candle volume into lookback sum. So, you set lookback to be: (not including the current day)
- rVol is on a switch. So, if you want to see rVol instead of volume, hit the switch in the settings
- If you want to see both, load 2 instances of the indicator.
////// Better-er Volume //////
Goal:
To Identify:
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close > open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close < open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume / price relative to the lookback period
Edge:
- Identifies beginnings of price expansion, climax of price expansion, breakouts, pivots, and take profit points on the volume chart
Notes:
- Based generally on Barry Taylor's "Better Volume" indicator and ideas from Pascal Willain's book "Value in Time."
- Better-er Volume rules are applied to both Total Volume or rVol.
-- When rVol is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to rVol
-- When Total Volume is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to Total Volume
// Plot Key: //
Green Triangle Up = Often marks the beginning and/or end of price expansion to the upside
Red Triangle Up = Often marks the beginning and/or end of price expansion to the downside
Yellow Square = High Volume but Tight Range. Implies a Battle of Bulls and Bears. High Liquidity area. Provided Liquidity is not enough to move price. Thick Limit Order Book.
Purple Triangle Up or Down = Implies high market participation. Typically at the end of expansion when very significant s/r is hit

Squeeze PRO Arrows [Makit0]SQUEEZE PRO INDICATOR v0.5Beta
Script based in:
original John Carter's ideas (SQUEEZE & SQUEEZE PRO)
LazyBear's script (Squeeze Momentum Indicator)
USE IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SQUEEZE PRO INDICATOR
This system is based in the volatility reversion to the mean: volatility contraction leads to volatility expansion and the other way on
The arrows signal is a warning of volatility compression, more often than not this leads to a expansion of volatility and a move in the action price usually bigger than the expected move
Be aware of the trend direction don't take the arrows direction as certanty, use instead the momentum histogram in the Squeeze PRO Indicator to see the slope direction
By default the arrows are setted at 5 dots, they fire in the sixth dot after 5 dots of the same color. Try differents values to get more or less signals
here are 3 levels of compression:
Level 1: ORANGE, the lesser compresion level
Level 2: RED, the normal level marked by the original squeeze indicator
Level 3: YELLOW, the max compression level
The more the compression the bigger the after move
Simple and Exponential Moving Averages
There are 2 groups of Moving Averages within the indicator, the 8 & 21 EMAs and the 50, 100 & 200 SMAs
They are disabled by default, turn it on at your peace
Please check the John Carter's book (Mastering the Trade) and attend his webinars for more insight about the squeeze & squeeze pro systems
I'm starting at trading and learning every day, I attended one of his webinars about the Squeeze Pro, and with help of the LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator code up the Squeeze PRO.
Please be aware, I'm not an expert trader, only a developer with an idea: learn to pull out money from the market in a consistent way.
This is a Beta version, please feel free to comment and give feedback, anything you consider iteresting, the more you elaborate the better :D
Thanks you all!!!
HV ID/ND4 BreakoutThis indicator is based on Linda Raschke's ID/ND4 Historical Volatility Breakout strategy. It finds days where the high and low are within the previous day high and lows (Inside days), that have also, the narrowest trading range within the last 4 days (it basically checks if the current day has the narrowest range comparing it with the previous 3 days) when the short term historical volatility (6 period default) is relatively low compared to the longer term historical volatility (100 period default) (The condition is that the 6/100 Historical volatility is below 50% of its annual range).
More information about how to trade this strategy is described in the book but basically, you would want to place a resting buy and sell stops at the high and low of the day highlighted and enter if you get filled the next day.
QMA/SMA DifferenceIntroduction
The quadratic moving average (QMA) or quadratic weighted moving average (QWMA) is a type of moving average who is closer to the price when price is up trending. This moving average is defined as the square root of the moving average of the squared price. The QMA-SMA difference use this moving average to provide a new volatility indicator who aim to be reactive and filter noisy volatility in order to only provide essential information.
QMA - SMA
This indicator is defined as the difference between a quadratic moving average and a simple moving average of same period. Since the QMA emphasize up movements and tend to be away from down movements she is always greater than the simple moving average, so a simple difference between those moving average provide our volatility indicator. Below is a comparison with a standard deviation and the indicator of both period 100.
Since its a difference between two moving average it can be interesting to use a simple moving as source for the standard deviation to provide another comparison
The standard deviation is smoother but still contain more information as well as having less reactivity.
Conclusion
I have a presented a new volatility indicator based on the quadratic moving average and compared it with a classic standard deviation. It is possible to change the power order of the QMA in order to provide different results, in order to do so you must also change the root, this is done in pine with : pow(sma(pow(close,w),length),1/w) where w is the power order, notice that an high power order can provide non attributed values.
