Linear Moments█ OVERVIEW
The Linear Moments indicator, also known as L-moments, is a statistical tool used to estimate the properties of a probability distribution. It is an alternative to conventional moments and is more robust to outliers and extreme values.
█ CONCEPTS
█ Four moments of a distribution
We have mentioned the concept of the Moments of a distribution in one of our previous posts. The method of Linear Moments allows us to calculate more robust measures that describe the shape features of a distribution and are anallougous to those of conventional moments. L-moments therefore provide estimates of the location, scale, skewness, and kurtosis of a probability distribution.
The first L-moment, λ₁, is equivalent to the sample mean and represents the location of the distribution. The second L-moment, λ₂, is a measure of the dispersion of the distribution, similar to the sample standard deviation. The third and fourth L-moments, λ₃ and λ₄, respectively, are the measures of skewness and kurtosis of the distribution. Higher order L-moments can also be calculated to provide more detailed information about the shape of the distribution.
One advantage of using L-moments over conventional moments is that they are less affected by outliers and extreme values. This is because L-moments are based on order statistics, which are more resistant to the influence of outliers. By contrast, conventional moments are based on the deviations of each data point from the sample mean, and outliers can have a disproportionate effect on these deviations, leading to skewed or biased estimates of the distribution parameters.
█ Order Statistics
L-moments are statistical measures that are based on linear combinations of order statistics, which are the sorted values in a dataset. This approach makes L-moments more resistant to the influence of outliers and extreme values. However, the computation of L-moments requires sorting the order statistics, which can lead to a higher computational complexity.
To address this issue, we have implemented an Online Sorting Algorithm that efficiently obtains the sorted dataset of order statistics, reducing the time complexity of the indicator. The Online Sorting Algorithm is an efficient method for sorting large datasets that can be updated incrementally, making it well-suited for use in trading applications where data is often streamed in real-time. By using this algorithm to compute L-moments, we can obtain robust estimates of distribution parameters while minimizing the computational resources required.
█ Bias and efficiency of an estimator
One of the key advantages of L-moments over conventional moments is that they approach their asymptotic normal closer than conventional moments. This means that as the sample size increases, the L-moments provide more accurate estimates of the distribution parameters.
Asymptotic normality is a statistical property that describes the behavior of an estimator as the sample size increases. As the sample size gets larger, the distribution of the estimator approaches a normal distribution, which is a bell-shaped curve. The mean and variance of the estimator are also related to the true mean and variance of the population, and these relationships become more accurate as the sample size increases.
The concept of asymptotic normality is important because it allows us to make inferences about the population based on the properties of the sample. If an estimator is asymptotically normal, we can use the properties of the normal distribution to calculate the probability of observing a particular value of the estimator, given the sample size and other relevant parameters.
In the case of L-moments, the fact that they approach their asymptotic normal more closely than conventional moments means that they provide more accurate estimates of the distribution parameters as the sample size increases. This is especially useful in situations where the sample size is small, such as when working with financial data. By using L-moments to estimate the properties of a distribution, traders can make more informed decisions about their investments and manage their risk more effectively.
Below we can see the empirical dsitributions of the Variance and L-scale estimators. We ran 10000 simulations with a sample size of 100. Here we can clearly see how the L-moment estimator approaches the normal distribution more closely and how such an estimator can be more representative of the underlying population.
█ WAYS TO USE THIS INDICATOR
The Linear Moments indicator can be used to estimate the L-moments of a dataset and provide insights into the underlying probability distribution. By analyzing the L-moments, traders can make inferences about the shape of the distribution, such as whether it is symmetric or skewed, and the degree of its spread and peakedness. This information can be useful in predicting future market movements and developing trading strategies.
One can also compare the L-moments of the dataset at hand with the L-moments of certain commonly used probability distributions. Finance is especially known for the use of certain fat tailed distributions such as Laplace or Student-t. We have built in the theoretical values of L-kurtosis for certain common distributions. In this way a person can compare our observed L-kurtosis with the one of the selected theoretical distribution.

Filter Trend1. Indicator Name
Premium EMA Ribbon Filter (Pro Version)
(Advanced Trend & Momentum Filtering System Based on EMA Ribbons)
2. One-Line Introduction
A professional trend-analysis indicator that blends an advanced noise-filtering algorithm with an EMA ribbon system to extract only the pure bullish/bearish trend while smoothing out market noise.
3. Overall Description (7+ lines)
The Premium EMA Ribbon Filter is more than just a set of EMAs.
It analyzes the structure of a fast, medium, and slow EMA ribbon—along with the spacing and alignment between them—to determine whether the market is in a bullish trend, bearish trend, or a neutral/noise-heavy zone.
The core of this indicator is its noise-reduction algorithm and trend-strength calculation system.
Instead of relying on simple EMA cross signals, it evaluates how consistently the ribbon maintains bullish/bearish alignment over a specified period and highlights only strong trends with color coding, while weak or noisy areas are displayed in gray.
This helps traders avoid confusing or false signals and clearly focus only on the “meaningful zones.”
A Triple-Smoothing System is applied to create smoother, more refined ribbon movements, forming a stable “premium trend curve” that is less affected by short-term volatility.
As a result, this indicator works effectively for scalping, swing trading, and long-term trend following—staying true to the principle of removing noise and highlighting only the core market flow.
4. Short Advantages (6 items)
① Complete Noise Filtering
Using EMA ribbon comparison + tolerance logic, false reversals are largely eliminated, leaving only stable trend phases.
② Highly Readable Color System
Bullish trends are mint, bearish trends are red, and neutral/noise zones are gray—instantly visualizing market conditions.
③ Trend Strength Visualization
Not only trend direction but also trend strength is displayed via dynamic color transparency.
④ Smooth, Premium-Style Ribbon Design
Triple-smoothing creates a refined, luxury-level smoothness in movement.
⑤ Works Across All Timeframes
From 1-minute scalping to daily/weekly macro trend analysis.
⑥ Excellent Real-Trading Compatibility
Works extremely well when combined with ATR, SuperTrend, and volume-based indicators.
Indicator Manual (Required Section)
📌 Understanding the Core Concept
The indicator uses three EMAs (e.g., 20/50/100) arranged as a ribbon to analyze the structural alignment of the trend.
When the EMAs are cleanly aligned Top → Middle → Bottom, the market is in a bullish trend.
When aligned Bottom → Middle → Top, the market is in a bearish trend.
The indicator further evaluates the ribbon spread (gap) and the consistency of alignment to compute trend strength.
Noisy market conditions are shaded gray to clearly indicate “uncertain/indecisive” zones.
⚙️ Settings Description
Option Description
Fast EMA Most sensitive EMA; detects early trend signals
Mid EMA Stabilizes the primary trend direction
Slow EMA Defines the broader, long-term trend flow
Trend Lookback The period used to analyze trend strength
Noise Tolerance (%) Higher values = stronger noise removal
Smoothing Steps Controls how smooth the ribbon becomes
📈 Example Recognition
A bullish continuation/entry scenario forms when:
EMAs align in the order Fast → Mid → Slow (top side)
Ribbon color shifts into mint (strong bullish trend)
The ribbon begins to expand while price stays above the ribbon
📉 Example Recognition
A bearish continuation/entry occurs when:
EMAs align Fast → Mid → Slow (bottom side)
Ribbon color remains red
After contracting, the ribbon expands again during renewed downside strength
🧪 Recommended Usage
Combine with volume-based indicators (OBV, Volume Profile) → enhanced strong-trend detection
Use with SuperTrend or ATR Stop → clearer stop-loss placement
Combine with RSI/Stoch → avoid counter-trend entries in overheated conditions
Higher leverage traders should use higher tolerance settings
🔒 Cautions
EMA ribbons are trend-following tools; signals may weaken in ranging/sideways markets.
Never rely solely on this indicator—always confirm with volume, price patterns, or structure.
Very low Lookback values may cause excessive re-entry signals.
In high-volatility environments, ribbon spacing can contract/expand rapidly—use with caution.
Filter Wave1. Indicator Name
Filter Wave
2. One-line Introduction
A visually enhanced trend strength indicator that uses linear regression scoring to render smoothed, color-shifting waves synced to price action.
3. General Overview
Filter Wave+ is a trend analysis tool designed to provide an intuitive and visually dynamic representation of market momentum.
It uses a pairwise comparison algorithm on linear regression values over a lookback period to determine whether price action is consistently moving upward or downward.
The result is a trend score, which is normalized and translated into a color-coded wave that floats above or below the current price. The wave's opacity increases with trend strength, giving a visual cue for confidence in the trend.
The wave itself is not a raw line—it goes through a three-stage smoothing process, producing a natural, flowing curve that is aesthetically aligned with price movement.
This makes it ideal for traders who need a quick visual context before acting on signals from other tools.
While Filter Wave+ does not generate buy/sell signals directly, its secure and efficient design allows it to serve as a high-confidence trend filter in any trading system.
4. Key Advantages
🌊 Smooth, Dynamic Wave Output
3-stage smoothed curves give clean, flowing visual feedback on market conditions.
🎨 Trend Strength Visualized by Color Intensity
Stronger trends appear with more solid coloring, while weak/neutral trends fade visually.
🔍 Quantitative Trend Detection
Linear regression ordering delivers precise, math-based trend scoring for confidence assessment.
📊 Price-Synced Floating Wave
Wave is dynamically positioned based on ATR and price to align naturally with market structure.
🧩 Compatible with Any Strategy
No conflicting signals—Filter Wave+ serves as a directional overlay that enhances clarity.
🔒 Secure Core Logic
Core algorithm is lightweight and secure, with minimal code exposure and strong encapsulation.
📘 Indicator User Guide
📌 Basic Concept
Filter Wave+ calculates trend direction and intensity using linear regression alignment over time.
The resulting wave is rendered as a smoothed curve, colored based on trend direction (green for up, red for down, gray for neutral), and adjusted in transparency to reflect trend strength.
This allows for fast trend interpretation without overwhelming the chart with signals.
⚙️ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars used for pairwise regression comparisons (higher = smoother detection)
Range Tolerance (%): Threshold to qualify as an up/down trend (lower = more sensitive)
Regression Source: The price input used in regression calculation (default: close)
Linear Regression Length: The period used for the core regression line
Bull/Bear Color: Customize the color for bullish and bearish waves
📈 Timing Example
Wave color changes to green and becomes more visible (less transparent)
Wave floats above price and aligns with an uptrend
Use as trend confirmation when other signals are present
📉 Timing Example
Wave shifts to red and darkens, floating below the price
Regression direction down; price continues beneath the wave
Acts as bearish confirmation for short trades or risk-off positioning
🧪 Recommended Use Cases
Use as a trend confidence overlay on your existing strategies
Especially useful in swing trading for detecting and confirming dominant market direction
Combine with RSI, MACD, or price action for high-accuracy setups
🔒 Precautions
This is not a signal generator—intended as a trend filter or directional guide
May respond slightly slower in volatile reversals; pair with responsive indicators
Wave position is influenced by ATR and price but does not represent exact entry/exit levels
Parameter optimization is recommended based on asset class and timeframe
Filter Bar1. Indicator Name
Filter Bar
2. One-line Introduction
A trend-aware bar coloring system that visualizes market direction and strength through adaptive transparency based on regression scoring.
3. General Overview
Filter Bar+ is a minimalist but powerful trend visualization tool that colors chart bars according to market direction and momentum strength.
It analyzes the linear regression trend alignment over a specified lookback period and uses a pairwise comparison algorithm to determine whether the market is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral state.
The result is a "trend score" that gets normalized to reflect trend intensity (0~1).
Bar colors are then dynamically updated using the specified bullish or bearish base colors, where higher intensity results in more opaque (darker) bars, and weaker trends lead to lighter, faded tones.
If no strong trend is detected, bars are shown in gray, signaling indecision or neutrality.
The strength of this indicator lies in its simplicity—it doesn’t draw lines, waves, or shapes, but overlays insight directly onto the chart through smart color cues.
It’s particularly effective as a background filter for price action traders, scalpers, and anyone who prefers clean charts but still wants embedded directional context.
4. Key Advantages
🎨 Adaptive Bar Coloring
Bar color opacity increases with trend strength, offering instant visual confirmation without clutter.
📊 Quantified Trend Direction
Uses a regression-based scoring system to reliably detect uptrends, downtrends, or sideways markets.
⚖️ Customizable Sensitivity
Parameters like lookback period and tolerance percentage give users full control over signal responsiveness.
🧼 Clean Chart Presentation
No lines, shapes, or overlays—just color-coded bars that blend into your existing chart setup.
🚀 Lightweight & Fast
Minimal computational load ensures it works smoothly even on lower-end devices or multiple chart setups.
🔒 Secure Internal Logic
Algorithm is neatly encapsulated and optimized, with no critical logic exposed.
📘 Indicator User Guide
📌 Basic Concept
Filter Bar+ evaluates trend direction and strength using a pairwise comparison of linear regression values.
The result determines whether the market is bullish, bearish, or neutral, and adjusts bar colors accordingly.
It visually amplifies the current market state without drawing any indicators on the chart.
⚙️ Settings Explained
Lookback Period: Number of bars used to compare regression values
Range Tolerance (%): Minimum score required to label a trend as bullish or bearish
Regression Source: Data input used for regression (default: close)
Linear Regression Length: Period for generating the base regression line
Bull/Bear Base Colors: Choose colors to represent bullish or bearish bars
📈 Buy Timing Example
Bars are green (or user-set bullish color) and becoming more vivid
Indicates a strengthening bullish trend; helpful when used alongside breakout confirmation or support zones
📉 Sell Timing Example
Bars turn red (or your custom bearish color) with increasing opacity
Signals growing bearish pressure; acts as confirmation during short setups or breakdowns
🧪 Recommended Use Cases
Combine with volume, RSI, or price action setups for direction filtering
Ideal for clean chart strategies where visual simplicity is preferred
Use as a confirmation layer to reduce noise in sideways markets
🔒 Precautions
This is a visual filter, not a signal generator—use alongside other strategies for entries/exits
In choppy markets, bars may flicker between colors—adjust sensitivity as needed
Works best when you already have a directional thesis and want to validate it visually
Always test settings for your asset/timeframe before applying in live trades
Static K-means Clustering | InvestorUnknownStatic K-Means Clustering is a machine-learning-driven market regime classifier designed for traders who want a data-driven structure instead of subjective indicators or manually drawn zones.
This script performs offline (static) K-means training on your chosen historical window. Using four engineered features:
RSI (Momentum)
CCI (Price deviation / Mean reversion)
CMF (Money flow / Strength)
MACD Histogram (Trend acceleration)
It groups past market conditions into K distinct clusters (regimes). After training, every new bar is assigned to the nearest cluster via Euclidean distance in 4-dimensional standardized feature space.
This allows you to create models like:
Regime-based long/short filters
Volatility phase detectors
Trend vs. chop separation
Mean-reversion vs. breakout classification
Volume-enhanced money-flow regime shifts
Full machine-learning trading systems based solely on regimes
Note:
This script is not a universal ML strategy out of the box.
The user must engineer the feature set to match their trading style and target market.
K-means is a tool, not a ready made system, this script provides the framework.
Core Idea
K-means clustering takes raw, unlabeled market observations and attempts to discover structure by grouping similar bars together.
// STEP 1 — DATA POINTS ON A COORDINATE PLANE
// We start with raw, unlabeled data scattered in 2D space (x/y).
// At this point, nothing is grouped—these are just observations.
// K-means will try to discover structure by grouping nearby points.
//
// y ↑
// |
// 12 | •
// | •
// 10 | •
// | •
// 8 | • •
// |
// 6 | •
// |
// 4 | •
// |
// 2 |______________________________________________→ x
// 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
//
//
//
// STEP 2 — RANDOMLY PLACE INITIAL CENTROIDS
// The algorithm begins by placing K centroids at random positions.
// These centroids act as the temporary “representatives” of clusters.
// Their starting positions heavily influence the first assignment step.
//
// y ↑
// |
// 12 | •
// | •
// 10 | • C2 ×

// 8 | • •
// |
// 6 | C1 × •
// |
// 4 | •
// |
// 2 |______________________________________________→ x
// 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
//
//
//
// STEP 3 — ASSIGN POINTS TO NEAREST CENTROID
// Each point is compared to all centroids.
// Using simple Euclidean distance, each point joins the cluster
// of the centroid it is closest to.
// This creates a temporary grouping of the data.
//
// (Coloring concept shown using labels)
//
// - Points closer to C1 → Cluster 1
// - Points closer to C2 → Cluster 2
//
// y ↑
// |
// 12 | 2
// | 1
// 10 | 1 C2 ×
// | 2
// 8 | 1 2
// |
// 6 | C1 × 2
// |
// 4 | 1
// |
// 2 |______________________________________________→ x
// 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
//
// (1 = assigned to Cluster 1, 2 = assigned to Cluster 2)
// At this stage, clusters are formed purely by distance.
Your chosen historical window becomes the static training dataset , and after fitting, the centroids never change again.
This makes the model:
Predictable
Repeatable
Consistent across backtests
Fast for live use (no recalculation of centroids every bar)
Static Training Window
You select a period with:
Training Start
Training End
Only bars inside this range are used to fit the K-means model. This window defines:
the market regime examples
the statistical distributions (means/std) for each feature
how the centroids will be positioned post-trainin
Bars before training = fully transparent
Training bars = gray
Post-training bars = full colored regimes
Feature Engineering (4D Input Vector)
Every bar during training becomes a 4-dimensional point:
This combination balances: momentum, volatility, mean-reversion, trend acceleration giving the algorithm a richer "market fingerprint" per bar.
Standardization
To prevent any feature from dominating due to scale differences (e.g., CMF near zero vs CCI ±200), all features are standardized:
standardize(value, mean, std) =>
(value - mean) / std
Centroid Initialization
Centroids start at diverse coordinates using various curves:
linear
sinusoidal
sign-preserving quadratic
tanh compression
init_centroids() =>
// Spread centroids across using different shapes per feature
for c = 0 to k_clusters - 1
frac = k_clusters == 1 ? 0.0 : c / (k_clusters - 1.0) // 0 → 1
v = frac * 2 - 1 // -1 → +1
array.set(cent_rsi, c, v) // linear
array.set(cent_cci, c, math.sin(v)) // sinusoidal
array.set(cent_cmf, c, v * v * (v < 0 ? -1 : 1)) // quadratic sign-preserving
array.set(cent_mac, c, tanh(v)) // compressed
This makes initial cluster spread “random” even though true randomness is hardly achieved in pinescript.
K-Means Iterative Refinement
The algorithm repeats these steps:
(A) Assignment Step, Each bar is assigned to the nearest centroid via Euclidean distance in 4D:
distance = sqrt(dx² + dy² + dz² + dw²)
(B) Update Step, Centroids update to the mean of points assigned to them. This repeats iterations times (configurable).
LIVE REGIME CLASSIFICATION
After training, each new bar is:
Standardized using the training mean/std
Compared to all centroids
Assigned to the nearest cluster
Bar color updates based on cluster
No re-training occurs. This ensures:
No lookahead bias
Clean historical testing
Stable regimes over time
CLUSTER BEHAVIOR & TRADING LOGIC
Clusters (0, 1, 2, 3…) hold no inherent meaning. The user defines what each cluster does.
Example of custom actions:
Cluster 0 → Cash
Cluster 1 → Long
Cluster 2 → Short
Cluster 3+ → Cash (noise regime)
This flexibility means:
One trader might have cluster 0 as consolidation.
Another might repurpose it as a breakout-loading zone.
A third might ignore 3 clusters entirely.
Example on ETHUSD
Important Note:
Any change of parameters or chart timeframe or ticker can cause the “order” of clusters to change
The script does NOT assume any cluster equals any actionable bias, user decides.
PERFORMANCE METRICS & ROC TABLE
The indicator computes average 1-bar ROC for each cluster in:
Training set
Test (live) set
This helps measure:
Cluster profitability consistency
Regime forward predictability
Whether a regime is noise, trend, or reversion-biased
EQUITY SIMULATION & FEES
Designed for close-to-close realistic backtesting.

LibVeloLibrary "LibVelo"
This library provides a sophisticated framework for **Velocity
Profile (Flow Rate)** analysis. It measures the physical
speed of trading at specific price levels by relating volume
to the time spent at those levels.
## Core Concept: Market Velocity
Unlike Volume Profiles, which only answer "how much" traded,
Velocity Profiles answer "how fast" it traded.
It is calculated as:
`Velocity = Volume / Duration`
This metric (contracts per second) reveals hidden market
dynamics invisible to pure Volume or TPO profiles:
1. **High Velocity (Fast Flow):**
* **Aggression:** Initiative buyers/sellers hitting market
orders rapidly.
* **Liquidity Vacuum:** Price slips through a level because
order book depth is thin (low resistance).
2. **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):**
* **Absorption:** High volume but very slow price movement.
Indicates massive passive limit orders ("Icebergs").
* **Apathy:** Little volume over a long time. Lack of
interest from major participants.
## Architecture: Triple-Engine Composition
To ensure maximum performance while offering full statistical
depth for all metrics, this library utilises **object
composition** with a lazy evaluation strategy:
#### Engine A: The Master (`vpVol`)
* **Role:** Standard Volume Profile.
* **Purpose:** Maintains the "ground truth" of volume distribution,
price buckets, and ranges.
#### Engine B: The Time Container (`vpTime`)
* **Role:** specialized container for time duration (in ms).
* **Hack:** It repurposes standard volume arrays (specifically
`aBuy`) to accumulate time duration for each bucket.
#### Engine C: The Calculator (`vpVelo`)
* **Role:** Temporary scratchpad for derived metrics.
* **Purpose:** When complex statistics (like Value Area or Skewness)
are requested for **Velocity**, this engine is assembled
on-demand to leverage the full statistical power of `LibVPrf`
without rewriting complex algorithms.

RastaRasta — Educational Strategy (Pine v5)
Momentum · Smoothing · Trend Study
Overview
The Rasta Strategy is a visual and educational framework designed to help traders study momentum transitions using the interaction between a fast-reacting EMA line and a slower smoothed reference line.
It is not a signal generator or profit system; it’s a learning tool for understanding how smoothing, crossovers, and filters interact under different market conditions.
The script displays:
A primary EMA line (the fast reactive wave).
A Smoothed line (using your chosen smoothing method).
Optional fog zones between them for quick visual context.
Optional DNA rungs connecting both lines to illustrate volatility compression and expansion.
Optional EMA 8 / EMA 21 trend filter to observe higher-time-frame alignment.
Core Idea
The Rasta model focuses on wave interaction. When the fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line, it reflects a shift in short-term momentum relative to background trend pressure. Cross-unders suggest weakening or reversal.
Rather than treating this as a trading “signal,” use it to observe structure, study trend alignment, and test how smoothing type affects reaction speed.
Smoothing Types Explained
The script lets you experiment with multiple smoothing techniques:
Type Description Use Case
SMA (Simple Moving Average) Arithmetic mean of the last n values. Smooth and steady, but slower. Trend-following studies; filters noise on higher time frames.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Weights recent data more. Responds faster to new price action. Momentum or reactive strategies; quick shifts and reversals.
RMA (Relative Moving Average) Used internally by RSI; smooths exponentially but slower than EMA. Momentum confirmation; balanced response.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) Linear weights emphasizing the most recent data strongly. Intraday scalping; crisp but potentially noisy.
None Disables smoothing; uses the EMA line alone. Raw comparison baseline.
Each smoothing method changes how early or late the strategy reacts:
Faster smoothing (EMA/WMA) = more responsive, good for scalping.
Slower smoothing (SMA/RMA) = more stable, good for trend following.
Modes of Study
🔹 Scalper Mode
Use short EMA lengths (e.g., 3–5) and fast smoothing (EMA or WMA).
Focus on 1 min – 15 min charts.
Watch how quick crossovers appear near local tops/bottoms.
Fog and rung compression reveal volatility contraction before bursts.
Goal: study short-term rhythm and liquidity pulses.
🔹 Momentum Mode
Use moderate EMA (5–9) and RMA smoothing.
Ideal for 1 H–4 H charts.
Observe how the fog color aligns with trend shifts.
EMA 8 / 21 filter can act as macro bias; “Enter” labels will appear only in its direction when enabled.
Goal: study sustained motion between pullbacks and acceleration waves.
🔹 Trend-Follower Mode
Use longer EMA (13–21) with SMA smoothing.
Great for daily/weekly charts.
Focus on periods where fog stays unbroken for long stretches — these illustrate clear trend dominance.
Watch rung spacing: tight clusters often precede consolidations; wide rungs signal expanding volatility.
Goal: visualize slow-motion trend transitions and filter whipsaw conditions.
Components
EMA Line (Red): Fast-reacting short-term direction.
Smoothed Line (Yellow): Reference trend baseline.
Fog Zone: Green when EMA > Smoothed (up-momentum), red when below.
DNA Rungs: Thin connectors showing volatility structure.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter (optional):
When enabled, the strategy will only allow Enter events if EMA 8 > EMA 21.
Use this to study higher-trend gating effects.
Educational Applications
Momentum Visualization: Observe how the fast EMA “breathes” around the smoothed baseline.
Trend Transitions: Compare different smoothing types to see how early or late reversals are detected.
Noise Filtering: Experiment with fog opacity and smoothing lengths to understand trade-off between responsiveness and stability.
Risk Concept Simulation: Includes a simple fixed stop-loss parameter (default 13%) for educational demonstrations of position management in the Strategy Tester.
How to Use
Add to Chart → “Strategy.”
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Adjust Parameters:
Length: base EMA speed.
Smoothing Type: choose SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA.
Smoothing Length: controls delay and smoothness.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter: toggles trend gating.
Fog & Rungs: visual study options only.
Study Behavior:
Use Strategy Tester → List of Trades for entry/exit context.
Observe how different smoothing types affect early vs. late “Enter” points.
Compare trend periods vs. ranging periods to evaluate efficiency.
Combine with External Tools:
Overlay RSI, MACD, or Volume for deeper correlation analysis.
Use replay mode to visualize crossovers in live sequence.
Interpreting the Labels
Enter: Marks where fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line (or when filter flips positive).
Exit: Marks where fast EMA crosses back below.
These are purely analytical markers — they do not represent trade advice.
Educational Value
The Rasta framework helps learners explore:
Reaction time differences between moving-average algorithms.
Impact of smoothing on signal clarity.
Interaction of local and global trends.
Visualization of volatility contraction (tight DNA rungs) and expansion (wide fog zones).
It’s a sandbox for studying price structure, not a promise of profit.

Smart Flow Tracker [The_lurker]
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT): Advanced Order Flow Tracking Indicator
Overview
Smart Flow Tracker (SFT) is an advanced indicator designed for real-time tracking and analysis of order flows. It focuses on detecting institutional patterns, massive orders, and potential reversals through analysis of lower timeframes (Lower Timeframe) or live ticks. It provides deep insights into market behavior using a multi-layered intelligent detection system and a clear visual interface, giving traders a competitive edge.
SFT focuses on trade volumes, directions, and frequencies to uncover unusual activity that may indicate institutional intervention, massive orders, or manipulation attempts (traps).
Indicator Operation Levels
SFT operates on three main levels:
1. Microscopic Monitoring: Tracks every trade at precise timeframes (down to one second), providing visibility not available in standard timeframes.
2. Advanced Statistical Analysis: Calculates averages, deviations, patterns, and anomalies using precise mathematical algorithms.
3. Behavioral Artificial Intelligence: Recognizes behavioral patterns such as hidden institutional accumulation, manipulation attempts and traps, and potential reversal points.
Key Features
SFT features a set of advanced functions to enhance the trader's experience:
1. Intelligent Order Classification System: Classifies orders into six categories based on size and pattern:
- Standard: Normal orders with typical size.
- Significant 💎: Orders larger than average by 1.5 times.
- Major 🔥: Orders larger than average by 2.5 times.
- Massive 🐋: Orders larger than average by 3 times.
- Institutional 🏛️: Consistent patterns indicating institutional activity.
- Reversal 🔄: Large orders indicating direction change.
- Trap ⚠️: Patterns that may be price traps.
2. Institutional Patterns Detection: Tracks sequences of similar-sized orders, detects organized institutional activity, and is customizable (number of trades, variance ratio).
3. Reversals Detection: Compares recent flows with previous ones, detects direction shifts from up to down or vice versa, and operates only on large orders (Major/Massive/Institutional).
4. Traps Detection: Identifies sequences of large orders in one direction, followed by an institutional order in the opposite direction, with early alerts for false moves.
5. Flow Delta Bar: Displays the difference between buy and sell volumes as a percentage for balance, with instant updates per trade.
6. Dynamic Statistics Panel: Displays overall buy and sell ratios with real-time updates and interactive colors.
How It Works and Understanding
SFT relies on logical sequential stages for data processing:
A. Data Collection: Uses the `request.security_lower_tf()` function to extract data from a lower timeframe (like 1S) even on a higher timeframe (like 5D). For each time unit, it calculates:
- Adjusted Volume: Either normal volume or "price-weighted volume" (hlc3 * volume) based on user choice.
- Trade Direction: Compared to previous close (rise → buy, fall → sell).
B. Building Temporary Memory: Maintains a dynamic list (sizeHistory) of the last 100 trade sizes, continuously calculating the moving average (meanSize).
C. Intelligent Classification: Compares each new trade to the average:
- > 1.5 × average → Significant.
- > 2.5 × average → Major.
- > 3.0 × average → Massive.
- Institutional Patterns Check: A certain number of trades (e.g., 5) with a specified variance ratio (±5%) → Institutional.
D. Advanced Detection:
- Reversal: Compares buy/sell totals in two consecutive periods.
- Trap: Sequence of large trades in one direction followed by an opposite institutional trade.
E. Display and Alerts: Results displayed in an automatically updated table, with option to enable alerts for notable events.
Settings (Fully Customizable)
SFT offers extensive options to adapt to the trader's needs:
A. Display Settings:
- Language: English / Arabic.
- Table Position: 9 options (e.g., Top Right, Middle Right, Bottom Left).
- Display Size: Tiny / Small / Normal / Large.
- Max Rows: 10–100.
- Enable Flow Delta Bar: Yes / No.
- Enable Statistics Panel: Yes / No (displays buy/sell % ratio).
B.- Technical Settings:
- Data Source: Lower Timeframe / Live Tick (simulation).
- Timeframe: Optional (e.g., 1S, 5S, 1).
- Calculation Type: Volume / Price Volume.
C. Intelligent Detection System:

- Major Orders Factor: 2.0–5.0.
E. **Advanced Detection**:
- Enable Reversals Detection (with review period).
- Enable Traps Detection (with minimum sequence limit).
F. Alerts System:
- Enable for each type: Massive orders, institutional patterns, reversals, traps, severe imbalance (60%–90%).
G. Color System: Manual customization for each category:
- Standard Buy 🟢: Dark gray green.

طريقة العمل والفهم
يعتمد SFT على مراحل منطقية متسلسلة لمعالجة البيانات:
أ. جمع البيانات: يستخدم دالة `request.security_lower_tf()` لاستخراج بيانات من إطار زمني أدنى (مثل 1S) حتى على إطار زمني أعلى (مثل 5D). لكل وحدة زمنية، يحسب:
- الحجم المعدّل: إما الحجم العادي (volume) أو "الحجم المرجّح بالسعر" (hlc3 * volume) حسب الاختيار.
- اتجاه الصفقة: مقارنة الإغلاق الحالي بالسابق (ارتفاع → شراء، انخفاض → بيع).
ب. بناء الذاكرة المؤقتة: يحتفظ بقائمة ديناميكية (sizeHistory) لآخر 100 حجم صفقة، ويحسب المتوسط المتحرك (meanSize) باستمرار.
ج. التصنيف الذكي: يقارن كل صفقة جديدة بالمتوسط:
- > 1.5 × المتوسط → Significant.
- > 2.5 × المتوسط → Major.
- > 3.0 × المتوسط → Massive.

Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Volume-Validated Order Block Detection – Only displays Order Blocks when formation candle exceeds customizable volume multiplier (default 1.5x average), filtering weak zones and highlighting true institutional accumulation/distribution
Auto-Mitigation Tracking System – Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks automatically update status when price mitigates them, with visual distinction between active and filled zones preventing trades on dead levels
Proprietary Smart Money Score Algorithm – Combines weighted factors (OB strength 25%, FVG proximity 20%, Liquidity 20%, Structure 20%, MTF 15%) into single 0-100 confidence rating updating in real-time
ATR-Based Adaptive Calculations – All distance measurements use 14-period Average True Range ensuring consistent function across any instrument, timeframe, or volatility regime without manual recalibration
Dynamic Age Filtering – Automatically removes liquidity levels and FVGs older than configurable thresholds preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant levels
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Integration – Analyzes higher timeframe bias with customizable multipliers (2-10x) and incorporates HTF trend direction into Smart Money Score for institutional alignment
🔧Core Components
Order Block Engine – Detects institutional supply/demand zones using characteristic patterns (down-move-then-strong-up for bullish, up-move-then-strong-down for bearish) with minimum volume threshold validation, tracks mitigation when price closes through zones
Fair Value Gap Scanner – Identifies price imbalances where current candle's low/high leaves gap with two-candle-prior high/low, filters by minimum size percentage, monitors 50% fill for mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapper – Uses pivot high/low detection with configurable lookback to mark swing points where stop losses cluster, extends horizontal lines to visualize sweep targets, manages lifecycle through age-based removal
Market Structure Analyzer – Tracks pivot progression to identify trend through higher-highs/higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs/lower-lows (bearish), detects Break of Structure and Change of Character for trend/reversal confirmation
Scoring Calculation Engine – Evaluates proximity to nearest Order Blocks using ATR-normalized distance, assesses FVG recency and distance, calculates liquidity proximity with age weighting, combines structure bias and MTF trend into smoothed final score
🔥Key Features
Customizable Display Limits – Control maximum Order Blocks (1-10), Liquidity Zones (1-10), and FVG age (10-200 bars) to maintain clean charts focused on most relevant institutional levels
Gradient Strength Visualization – All zones render with transparency-adjustable coloring where stronger/newer zones appear more solid and weaker/older zones fade progressively providing instant visual hierarchy
Educational Label System – Optional labels identify each zone type (Bullish OB, Bearish OB, Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, BOS) with color-coded text helping traders learn SMC concepts through practical application
Real-Time Smart Money Score Dashboard – Top-right table displays current score (0-100) with color coding (green >70, yellow 30-70, red <30) plus trend arrow for at-a-glance confidence assessment
Comprehensive Alert Suite – Configurable notifications for Order Block formation, Fair Value Gap detection, Break of Structure events, Change of Character signals, and high Smart Money Score readings (>70)
Buy/Sell Signal Integration – Automatically plots triangle markers when Smart Money Score exceeds 70 with aligned market structure and fresh Order Block detection providing clear entry signals
🎨Visualization
Order Block Boxes – Shaded rectangles extend from formation bar spanning high-to-low of institutional candle, bullish zones in green, bearish in red, with customizable transparency (80-98%)
Fair Value Gap Zones – Rectangular areas marking imbalances, active FVGs display in bright colors with adjustable transparency, mitigated FVGs switch to gray preventing trades on filled zones
Liquidity Level Lines – Dashed horizontal lines extend from pivot creation points, swing highs in bearish color (short targets above), swing lows in bullish color (long targets below), opacity decreases with age
Structure Labels – "BOS" labels appear above/below price when Break of Structure confirmed, colored by direction (green bullish, red bearish), positioned at 1% beyond highs/lows for visibility
Educational Info Panel – Bottom-right table explains key terminology (OB, FVG, BOS, CHoCH) and score interpretation (>70 high probability) with semi-transparent background for readability

✅Best Use Cases
Order Block Retest Entries – After Break of Structure, wait for price retrace into fresh bullish Order Block with Smart Money Score >70, enter long on zone reaction targeting next liquidity level
Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility
Visual Rendering and Lifecycle – Draws Order Block boxes, Fair Value Gap rectangles with color coding (green/red active, gray mitigated), extends liquidity dashed lines with fade-by-age opacity, plots BOS labels, displays Smart Money Score dashboard, continuously updates checking mitigation conditions and removing elements exceeding age/display limits
💡Note:
The Smart Money Flow Index combines multiple Smart Money Concepts into unified institutional order flow analysis. For optimal results, use the Smart Money Score as confluence filter rather than standalone entry signal – scores above 70 indicate high-probability setups but should be combined with risk management, higher timeframe bias, and market regime understanding.
Aibuyzone Elliott Wave SuiteOverview
This study approximates Elliott-style wave structure using swing pivots. It labels primary waves (1–5), tracks subwaves (1–5) inside them, and plots future projection bands derived from the size of a recent primary leg. A small floating dashboard summarizes the current wave number, bias (bullish/bearish) based on the last leg, and a projection price range.
Note: This tool is educational. Wave detection is algorithmic and approximate; it does not identify textbook Elliott patterns or validate rule sets. Manage risk independently.
What it draws
Primary wave labels (1–5): Based on higher swing length pivots (major turns).
Subwave labels (1–5): Based on shorter swing length pivots (minor turns).
Zigzag connectors: Simple lines between the latest primary pivots for structure visualization.
Projection bands: Three dotted horizontal levels forward from the last primary pivot, using user-defined extension multipliers.
Floating dashboard:
Current Wave: Latest primary wave count (1–5).
Bias: “Bullish Leg” (last pivot was a low) or “Bearish Leg” (last pivot was a high), or “Unknown” if insufficient data.
Proj Range: Min–max of the three projection levels.
Key Inputs
Swing Structure
Primary Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for major swings. Larger values = fewer, cleaner waves.
Subwave Swing Length: Pivot left/right bars for minor swings. Smaller values = more frequent subwave labels.
Max Saved Swing Points: Memory limit to prevent clutter.
Future Projections
Show Projection Levels: Toggle projection lines on/off.
Use Last Nth Leg For Size: Which recent primary leg to use for measuring projection distance (1 = most recent).
Extension 1 / 2 / 3: Multipliers applied to the measured leg (e.g., 1.0, 1.618, 2.0).
Style
Colors and text sizes for primary and subwave labels, and projection lines.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Toggle table on/off.
Dashboard Position: Top-Left / Top-Right / Bottom-Left / Bottom-Right.
How projections are computed
The script measures the price distance of a recent primary leg (from pivot A to pivot B).
If the last pivot is a low, projections extend upward; if the last pivot is a high, projections extend downward.
The three extension inputs (e.g., 1.0 / 1.618 / 2.0) are applied to that leg distance to create dotted forward levels.
The dashboard’s Proj Range displays the min–max of those three levels.
Using the study (suggested workflow)
Choose timeframe appropriate for your style (e.g., higher timeframes for cleaner structure; lower timeframes for detail).
Tune swing lengths:
Increase Primary Swing Length on noisy charts to stabilize wave counts.
Adjust Subwave Swing Length to reveal or simplify internal moves.
Read the dashboard:
Current Wave shows where the latest primary count sits (1–5).
Bias summarizes the direction of the last measured leg only; it is not a trend system.
Proj Range offers a coarse price band derived from your extensions.
Context check: Combine wave labeling with your own market context (trend, structure, volatility) before making decisions.
Risk management: Use your own stop/target methods. The projection lines are not signals.
Practical tips
Clutter control: If labels overlap on volatile symbols, try larger swing lengths or reduce label text sizes in Style.
Scaling: On very small tick sizes, increasing the internal label price offset can improve label readability.
Projection sensitivity: Changing Use Last Nth Leg can materially alter levels; confirm they match your intent.
Non-determinism across timeframes: Different timeframes and symbols will produce different pivot sequences and counts.
Limitations & important notes
Approximation: This does not enforce all Elliott rules (e.g., alternation, wave 4 overlap constraints, channeling). It only labels swings numerically.
Repainting of labels: Pivot-based waves confirm after enough bars have printed to the right of a high/low. Labels are placed when pivots confirm; they don’t predict pivots.
Not a signal generator: No entries/exits/alerts are included; add your own trade plan and risk controls.
Data sufficiency: Early bars or sparse data may show “Unknown” bias or “N/A” projections until adequate pivots exist.

Keep the description educational. Avoid performance claims, guarantees, or language implying certainty.
Do not include links, promotions, prices, giveaways, contact details, or solicitations.

Lord Mathew ATSThe Smart Money Structure & Pattern Analyzer is a complete, all-in-one visual trading system that brings together every essential element of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodology, and candlestick psychology into one powerful indicator.
It is designed to help traders instantly understand the market’s structure, liquidity flow, and potential turning points without switching tools or manually marking charts. Whether you trade forex, indices, crypto, or commodities, this indicator automatically identifies where institutional activity, imbalances, and price inefficiencies occur in real time.
With its advanced algorithm, it plots market structure shifts, equal highs and lows, liquidity zones, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and previous week and day levels (PWO, PWH, PWL, PWC, PDO, PDH, PDL, PDO). It also integrates a deep candlestick recognition engine that detects over ten classic and advanced candle formations including engulfing patterns, dojis, hammers, shooting stars, morning/evening stars, and spinning tops to provide precise confirmation at critical points of interest.
This indicator isn’t just a tool it’s a complete market map that helps traders visualize how institutional order flow and candlestick sentiment interact.
Core Features
📊 Market Structure Detection:
Automatically marks swing highs/lows, Break of Structure (BOS), and Change of Character (CHOCH) in real time.
💧 Liquidity Mapping:
Highlights equal highs/lows and liquidity grabs, showing where price is likely to target before a reversal or continuation.
🧱 Order Block Visualization:
Displays the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive displacement, acting as a potential institutional entry zone.
⚡ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Scanner:
Detects and highlights imbalances where price moved too fast, helping you identify high-probability retracement areas.
🕯️ Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
Recognizes key reversal and continuation patterns (engulfing, hammer, shooting star, doji, morning/evening star, etc.) in real time.
📅 Institutional Reference Points:
Plots previous week & day open (PWO, PDO), previous week & day high (PWH, PWH), previous week & day low (PWL, PDL), previous week & day close (PWC, PDC) and optionally previous day levels to help frame bias.
🎨 Customizable Design:
Toggle any feature, change colors, and set alerts when multiple Smart Money signals align for cleaner, faster decision-making.
How It Works
Add the indicator to your chart on any timeframe or market.
The algorithm automatically detects structure, liquidity, and imbalance zones.
Candlestick patterns are highlighted when they form near high-probability areas (like OBs or FVGs).
When confluence occurs such as a liquidity grab, FVG fill, and bullish engulfing candle—the indicator provides a visual signal zone for your confirmation-based entries.
You can refine your trades using higher-timeframe bias (HTF order flow) and lower-timeframe execution (LTF confirmation).
Best For
Traders using ICT, Smart Money Concepts, or price-action systems.
Intraday and swing traders looking for clear, data-driven chart structure.
Traders who want to simplify confluence analysis and focus on precision execution.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard candlestick or pattern scanners, this indicator merges institutional market logic with technical candle behavior, allowing traders to see where smart money might be entering or exiting positions.
It’s not about random signals it’s about context, structure, and confirmation.
Every feature in this indicator is built around the principle of liquidity engineering:
price creates liquidity, grabs it, and moves toward imbalance or order flow efficiency.
By merging that institutional logic with candlestick patterns, this tool gives traders an edge in recognizing not only where to trade but why price is reacting in that exact area.

Smart Money Volume Tools | Lyro RSSmart Money Volume Tools | Lyro RS
Overview
The Smart Money Volume Tools (SMVT) is a multi-dimensional volume-based analysis suite designed to visualize the interplay between price action, moving averages, and smart money behavior.
By integrating dynamic moving averages, volume normalization, and multi-timeframe intelligence, SMVT helps traders identify when institutional (smart money) or retail participants are influencing price movements — all in a single, adaptive display.
Unlike traditional oscillators or trend tools, SMVT dynamically adjusts its sensitivity and thresholds based on volume z-scores and normalized momentum, revealing true intent behind price shifts rather than reacting to them.
🔹 Key Features
4 Core Analytical Modes:
Trail Mode – Identifies directional bias using dynamic volume-weighted trails based on adaptive ATR multipliers.
Volume Mode – Displays normalized volume strength vs. price trend, highlighting volume-driven expansions.
Smart Money Volume Mode – Detects institutional buying/selling spikes from lower timeframes using volume z-score outliers.
Retail Money Volume Mode – Contrasts retail-driven impulses to visualize crowd behavior and exhaustion points.
Dynamic Volume Normalization: Converts volume impulses into a 0–100 range using a sigmoid function for smoother interpretation.
Multi-Timeframe Intelligence: Automatically reads lower timeframe volume data to distinguish smart vs. retail activity.
Adaptive Color Systems: Multiple palette modes ( Classic , Mystic , Accented , Royal ) or full custom color control.
Signal Table Overlay: Built-in real-time module summary showing status for Trail , Volume , Smart Money , and Retail Money — right on your chart.
🔹 How It Works
Volume Strength Calculation:
Calculates relative volume strength using a moving average baseline, then normalizes the result via a sigmoid function — mapping activity into a clean 0–100 range.
Smart Money Detection:
Scans lower timeframe data for extreme volume z-scores ( z > 2 ) to pinpoint institutional accumulation or distribution zones.
Trail Logic:
Uses adaptive upper and lower trails based on ATR and volume intensity to track volatility-adjusted trend direction.
Color Logic:
Trail, candle, and fill colors change dynamically according to the active signal type and selected palette — making directional bias instantly visible.
🔹 Practical Use
Swing Confirmation (Trail Mode): Confirms sustained bullish or bearish momentum supported by volume, ideal for trailing positions and managing exits.
Volume Expansion (Volume Mode): Highlights key moments when institutional liquidity pushes price before visible breakout confirmation.
Smart vs. Retail Divergence: Identify conflicts between retail activity and smart money to detect exhaustion or reversal points early.
Table Overlay Utility: Instantly see all active signals across modules in one compact, on-chart interface.
🔹 Customization
Custom color palettes or manual bullish/bearish color selection.
Adjustable EMA lengths and Volume SMA period .
Selectable lower timeframe source for Smart Money analysis.
Flexible table position & size controls — choose between Top, Middle, Bottom and Tiny to Huge.
Switch freely between Trail , Volume , Smart Money , and Retail Money modes.

MESA Adaptive Ehlers Flow | AlphaNattMESA Adaptive Ehlers Flow | AlphaNatt
An advanced adaptive indicator based on John Ehlers' MESA (Maximum Entropy Spectrum Analysis) algorithm that automatically adjusts to market cycles in real-time, providing superior trend identification with minimal lag across all market conditions.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Revolutionary?
Unlike traditional moving averages with fixed parameters, this indicator uses Hilbert Transform mathematics to detect the dominant market cycle and adapts its responsiveness accordingly:
Automatically detects market cycles using advanced signal processing
MAMA (MESA Adaptive Moving Average) adapts from fast to slow based on cycle phase
FAMA (Following Adaptive Moving Average) provides confirmation signals
Dynamic volatility bands that expand and contract with cycle detection
Zero manual optimization required - the indicator tunes itself
📊 Core Components
1. MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA)
The MAMA is the crown jewel of adaptive indicators. It uses the Hilbert Transform to measure the market's dominant cycle and adjusts its smoothing factor in real-time:
During trending phases: Responds quickly to capture moves
During choppy phases: Smooths heavily to filter noise
Transition is automatic and seamless based on price action
Parameters:
Fast Limit: Maximum responsiveness (default: 0.5) - how fast the indicator can adapt
Slow Limit: Minimum responsiveness (default: 0.05) - maximum smoothing during consolidation
2. Following Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA)
The FAMA is a slower version of MAMA that follows the primary signal. The relationship between MAMA and FAMA provides powerful trend confirmation:
MAMA > FAMA: Bullish trend in progress
MAMA < FAMA: Bearish trend in progress
Crossovers signal potential trend changes
3. Hilbert Transform Cycle Detection
The indicator employs sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques:
Detects the dominant cycle period (1.5 to 50 bars)
Measures phase relationships in the price data
Calculates adaptive alpha values based on cycle dynamics
Continuously updates as market character changes
⚡ Key Features
Adaptive Alpha Calculation
The indicator's "intelligence" comes from its adaptive alpha:
Alpha dynamically adjusts between Fast Limit and Slow Limit based on the rate of phase change in the market cycle. Rapid phase changes trigger faster adaptation, while stable cycles maintain smoother response.
Dynamic Volatility Bands

Exit/Management:
Exit longs when MAMA crosses below FAMA
Exit shorts when MAMA crosses above FAMA
Use dynamic bands as trailing stop references
Mean Reversion Strategy
When price extends beyond the dynamic bands during established trends, look for bounces back toward the MAMA line.
Setup Conditions:
Strong trend confirmed by MAMA/FAMA alignment
Price touches or exceeds outer band
Enter on first sign of reversal toward MAMA
Target: Return to MAMA line or opposite band
Cycle-Based Swing Trading
The indicator's cycle detection makes it ideal for swing trading:
Enter on MAMA/FAMA crossovers
Hold through the detected cycle period
Exit on counter-crossover or band extremes
Works exceptionally well on 4H to Daily timeframes

The Hilbert Transform is a mathematical operation used in signal processing to extract instantaneous phase and frequency information from a signal. In trading applications:
Separates trend from cycle components
Identifies the dominant market cycle without curve-fitting
Provides leading indicators of trend changes
MESA Algorithm Components
Smoothing: 4-bar weighted moving average for noise reduction
Detrending: Removes linear price trend to isolate cycles
InPhase & Quadrature: Orthogonal components for phase measurement
Homodyne Discriminator: Calculates instantaneous period
Adaptive Alpha: Converts period to smoothing factor
MAMA/FAMA: Final adaptive moving averages
⚙️ Optimization Guide
Fast Limit (0.1 - 0.9)
Higher values (0.5-0.9): More responsive, better for volatile markets and lower timeframes
Lower values (0.1-0.3): Smoother response, better for stable markets and higher timeframes
Default 0.5: Balanced for most applications
Slow Limit (0.01 - 0.1)
Higher values (0.05-0.1): Less smoothing during consolidation, more signals
Lower values (0.01-0.03): Heavy smoothing during chop, fewer but cleaner signals
Default 0.05: Good noise filtering while maintaining responsiveness
Band Multiplier (0.5 - 3.0)
Adjust based on instrument volatility
Backtest to find optimal value for your specific market
1.5 works well for most forex and equity indices
Consider higher values (2.0-2.5) for cryptocurrencies
🎨 Visual Interpretation
The gradient visualization shows probability zones around the MESA line:
MESA line: The adaptive trend center
Band expansion: Indicates strong cycle detection and trending
Band contraction: Indicates consolidation or ranging market
Color intensity: Shows confidence in trend direction
💡 Best Practices
Let it adapt: Give the indicator 50+ bars to properly calibrate to the market
Combine timeframes: Use higher timeframe MESA for trend bias, lower for entries
Respect the bands: Price rarely stays outside bands for extended periods
Watch for compression: Narrow bands often precede explosive moves
Volume confirmation: Combine with volume for higher probability setups
📊 Optimal Timeframes
15m - 1H: Day trading with Fast Limit 0.6-0.8
4H - Daily: Swing trading with Fast Limit 0.4-0.6 (recommended)
Weekly: Position trading with Fast Limit 0.2-0.4
⚠️ Important Considerations
The indicator needs time to "learn" the market - avoid trading the first 50 bars after applying
Extreme gap events can temporarily disrupt cycle calculations
Works best in markets with detectable cyclical behavior
Less effective during news events or extreme volatility spikes
Consider the detected cycle period for position holding times
🔍 What Makes MESA Superior?
Compared to traditional indicators:
vs. Fixed MAs: Automatically adjusts to market conditions instead of using one-size-fits-all parameters
vs. Other Adaptive MAs: Uses true DSP mathematics rather than simple volatility adjustments
vs. Manual Optimization: Continuously re-optimizes itself in real-time
vs. Lagging Indicators: Hilbert Transform provides earlier trend change detection
🎓 Understanding Adaptation
The magic of MESA is that it solves the eternal dilemma of technical analysis: be fast and get whipsawed in chop, or be smooth and miss the early move. MESA does both by detecting when to be fast and when to be smooth.
Adaptation in Action:
Strong trend starts → MESA quickly detects phase change → Fast Limit kicks in → Early entry
Trend continues → Phase stabilizes → MESA maintains moderate speed → Smooth ride
Consolidation begins → Phase changes slow → Slow Limit engages → Whipsaw avoidance
🚀 Advanced Applications
Multi-timeframe confluence: Use MESA on 3 timeframes for high-probability setups
Divergence detection: Watch for MAMA/price divergences at band extremes
Cycle period analysis: The internal period calculation can guide position duration
Band squeeze trading: Narrow bands + MAMA/FAMA cross = high-probability breakout

T3 [DCAUT]█ T3
📊 INDICATOR OVERVIEW
The T3 Moving Average is a smoothing indicator developed by Tim Tillson and published in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine (January 1998). The algorithm applies Generalized DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) recursively three times, creating a six-pole filtering effect that aims to balance noise reduction with responsiveness while minimizing lag relative to price changes.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Generalized DEMA (GD) Function:
The core building block is the Generalized DEMA function, which combines two exponential moving averages with weights controlled by the volume factor:
GD(input, v) = EMA(input) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(input)) × v
Where v is the volume factor parameter (default 0.7). This weighted combination reduces lag while maintaining smoothness by extrapolating beyond the first EMA using the double-smoothed EMA as a reference.
T3 Calculation Process:
T3 applies the GD function three times recursively:
T3 = GD(GD(GD(Price, v), v), v)
This triple nesting creates a six-pole smoothing effect (each GD applies two EMA operations, resulting in 2 × 3 = 6 total EMA calculations). The cascading refinement progressively filters noise while preserving trend information.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
First GD application: GD1 = EMA(Price) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(Price)) × v - Creates initial smoothed series with lag reduction
Second GD application: GD2 = EMA(GD1) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD1)) × v - Further refines the smoothing while maintaining responsiveness
Third GD application: T3 = EMA(GD2) × (1 + v) - EMA(EMA(GD2)) × v - Final refinement produces the T3 output
Volume Factor Impact:
The volume factor (v) is the key parameter controlling the balance between smoothness and responsiveness. Tim Tillson recommended v = 0.7 as the optimal default value.
Lower volume factors (v closer to 0.0): Increase the extrapolation effect, making T3 more responsive to price changes but potentially more sensitive to noise.
Higher volume factors (v closer to 1.0): Reduce the extrapolation effect, producing smoother output with less sensitivity to short-term fluctuations but slightly more lag.
The recursive application of the volume factor through three GD stages creates a nonlinear filtering effect that achieves superior lag reduction compared to traditional moving averages of equivalent smoothness.
📊 SIGNAL INTERPRETATION
Trend Direction Signals:
Green Line (T3 Rising): Smoothed trend line is rising, may indicate uptrend, consider bullish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Red Line (T3 Falling): Smoothed trend line is falling, may indicate downtrend, consider bearish opportunities when confirmed by other factors
Gray Line (T3 Flat): Smoothed trend line is flat, indicates unclear trend or consolidation phase
Price Crossover Signals:
Price Crosses Above T3: Price breaks above smoothed trend line, may be bullish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Crosses Below T3: Price breaks below smoothed trend line, may be bearish signal, requires confirmation from other indicators
Price Position Relative to T3: Price sustained above T3 may indicate uptrend, sustained below may indicate downtrend
Supporting Analysis Signals:
T3 Slope Angle: Steeper slopes indicate stronger trend momentum, flatter slopes suggest weakening trends
Price Deviation: Significant price separation from T3 may indicate overextension, watch for pullback or reversal
Dynamic Support/Resistance: T3 line can serve as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) reference
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Common Usage Patterns:
The T3 Moving Average can be incorporated into trading analysis in various ways. These represent common approaches used by market participants, though effectiveness varies by market conditions and requires individual testing:
Trend Filtering:
T3 can be used as a trend filter by observing the relationship between price and the T3 line. The color-coded slope (green for rising, red for falling, gray for sideways) provides visual feedback about the current trend direction of the smoothed series.
Price Crossover Analysis:
Some traders monitor crossovers between price and the T3 line as potential indication points. When price crosses the T3 line, it may suggest a change in the relationship between current price action and the smoothed trend.
Multi-Timeframe Observation:
T3 can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously. Observing alignment or divergence between different timeframe T3 indicators may provide context about trend consistency across time scales.
Dynamic Reference Level:
The T3 line can serve as a dynamic reference level for price action analysis. Price distance from T3, price reactions when approaching T3, and the behavior of price relative to the T3 line can all be incorporated into market analysis frameworks.
Application Considerations:
Any trading application should be thoroughly tested on historical data before implementation
T3 performance characteristics vary across different market conditions and asset types
The indicator provides smoothed trend information but does not predict future price movements
Combining T3 with other analytical tools and market context improves analysis quality
Risk management practices remain essential regardless of the analytical approach used
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Source Selection:
Close Price (Default): Standard choice for end-of-period trend analysis, reduces intrabar noise
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Provides balanced view of price action, considers full bar range
HLC3 or OHLC4: Incorporates more price information, may provide smoother results
Selection Impact: Different sources affect signal timing and smoothness characteristics
Length Configuration:
Shorter periods: More responsive, faster reaction, frequent signals, but higher false signal risk in choppy markets
Longer periods: Smoother output, fewer signals, better for long-term trends, but slower response
Default 14 periods is a common baseline, but optimal length varies by asset, timeframe, and market conditions
Parameter selection should be determined through backtesting rather than general recommendations
Volume Factor Configuration:
Lower values (closer to 0.0): Increase responsiveness but also noise sensitivity
Higher values (closer to 1.0): Increase smoothness but slightly more lag
Default 0.7 (Tim Tillson's recommendation) provides good balance for most applications
Optimal value depends on signal frequency versus reliability preference, test for specific use case
Parameter Optimization Approach:
There are no universal "best" parameter values - optimal settings depend on the specific asset, timeframe, market regime, and trading strategy
Start with default values (Length: 14, Volume Factor: 0.7) and adjust based on observed performance in your target market
Conduct systematic backtesting across different market conditions to evaluate parameter sensitivity
Consider that parameters optimized for historical data may not perform identically in future market conditions
Monitor performance and be prepared to adjust parameters as market characteristics evolve

MAMA [DCAUT]█ MAMA (MESA Adaptive Moving Average)
📊 OVERVIEW
The MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA) represents an advanced implementation of John F. Ehlers' adaptive moving average system using the Hilbert Transform Discriminator. This indicator automatically adjusts to market cycles, providing superior responsiveness compared to traditional fixed-period moving averages while maintaining smoothness.
MAMA dynamically calculates two lines: the fast-adapting MAMA line and the following FAMA (Following Adaptive Moving Average) line. The system's core strength lies in its ability to automatically detect and adapt to the dominant market cycle, reducing lag during trending periods while providing stability during consolidation phases.
🎯 CORE CONCEPTS
Signal Interpretation:
• MAMA above FAMA: Indicates bullish trend momentum with the fast line leading upward movement
• MAMA below FAMA: Suggests bearish trend momentum with the fast line leading downward movement
• Golden Cross: MAMA crossing above FAMA signals potential upward momentum shift
• Death Cross: MAMA crossing below FAMA indicates potential downward momentum shift
• Line Convergence: MAMA and FAMA approaching each other suggests trend consolidation or potential reversal
Primary Applications:
• Trend Following: Enhanced responsiveness to trend changes compared to traditional moving averages
• Crossover Signals: MAMA/FAMA crossovers for identifying potential entry and exit points
• Cycle Analysis: Automatic adaptation to market's dominant cycle characteristics
• Reduced Lag: Minimized delay in trend detection while maintaining signal smoothness
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Hilbert Transform Discriminator Technology:
The MAMA system employs John F. Ehlers' Hilbert Transform Discriminator, a sophisticated signal processing technique borrowed from telecommunications engineering. The Hilbert Transform creates a complex representation of the price series by generating a 90-degree phase-shifted version of the original signal, enabling precise cycle measurement.
The discriminator analyzes the instantaneous phase relationships between the original price series and its Hilbert Transform counterpart. This mathematical relationship reveals the dominant cycle period present in the market data at each point in time, forming the foundation for adaptive smoothing.
Instantaneous Period Calculation:
The algorithm computes the instantaneous period using the arctangent of the ratio between the Hilbert Transform and the original price series. This calculation produces a real-time measurement of the market's dominant cycle, typically ranging from short-term noise cycles to longer-term trend cycles.
The instantaneous period measurement undergoes additional smoothing to prevent erratic behavior from single-bar anomalies. This smoothed period value becomes the basis for calculating the adaptive alpha coefficient that controls the moving average's responsiveness.
Dynamic Alpha Coefficient System:
The adaptive alpha calculation represents the core mathematical innovation of MAMA. The alpha coefficient is derived from the instantaneous period measurement and constrained within the user-defined fast and slow limits.
The mathematical relationship converts the measured cycle period into an appropriate smoothing factor: shorter detected cycles result in higher alpha values (increased responsiveness), while longer cycles produce lower alpha values (increased stability). This creates an automatic adaptation mechanism that responds to changing market conditions.
MAMA/FAMA Calculation Process:
The MAMA line applies the dynamically calculated alpha coefficient to an exponential moving average formula: MAMA = alpha × Price + (1 - alpha) × MAMA . The FAMA line then applies a secondary smoothing operation to the MAMA line, creating a following average that provides confirmation signals.
This dual-line approach ensures that the fast-adapting MAMA line captures trend changes quickly, while the FAMA line offers a smoother confirmation signal, reducing the likelihood of acting on temporary price fluctuations.
Cycle Detection Mechanism:
The underlying cycle detection employs quadrature components derived from the Hilbert Transform to measure both amplitude and phase characteristics of price movements. This allows the system to distinguish between genuine trend changes and temporary price noise, automatically adjusting the smoothing intensity accordingly.
The mathematical framework ensures that during strong trending periods with clear directional movement, the algorithm reduces smoothing to minimize lag. Conversely, during consolidation phases with mixed signals, increased smoothing helps filter out false breakouts and whipsaws.
📋 PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Source Selection Strategy:
• HL2 (High+Low)/2 (Default): Recommended for cycle analysis as it represents the midpoint of each period's trading range, reducing impact of opening gaps and closing spikes
• Close Price: Traditional choice reflecting final market sentiment, suitable for end-of-day analysis
• HLC3 (High+Low+Close)/3: Balanced approach incorporating range information with closing emphasis
• OHLC4 (Open+High+Low+Close)/4: Most comprehensive price representation for complete market view
Fast Limit Configuration (Default 0.5):
Controls the maximum responsiveness of the adaptive system. Higher values increase sensitivity to recent price changes but may introduce more noise. This parameter sets the upper bound for the dynamic alpha calculation.
Slow Limit Configuration (Default 0.05):
Determines the minimum responsiveness, providing stability during uncertain market conditions. Lower values increase smoothing but may cause delayed signals. This parameter sets the lower bound for the dynamic alpha calculation.
Parameter Relationship Considerations:
The fast and slow limits work together to define the adaptive range. The wider the range between these limits, the more dramatic the adaptation between trending and consolidating market conditions. Different market characteristics may benefit from different parameter configurations, requiring individual testing and validation.
📊 COLOR CODING SYSTEM
Line Visualization:
• Green Line (MAMA): The fast-adapting moving average that responds quickly to price changes
• Red Line (FAMA): The following adaptive moving average that provides confirmation signals
The fixed color scheme provides consistent visual identification of each line, enabling clear differentiation between the fast-adapting MAMA and the following FAMA throughout all market conditions.
💡 CORE VALUE PROPOSITION
Advantages Over Traditional Moving Averages:
• Cycle Adaptation: Automatically adjusts to market's dominant cycle rather than using fixed periods
• Reduced Lag: Faster response to genuine trend changes while filtering market noise
• Mathematical Foundation: Based on advanced signal processing techniques from telecommunications engineering
• Dual-Line System: Provides both fast adaptation (MAMA) and confirmation (FAMA) in one indicator
Comparative Performance Characteristics:
Unlike fixed-period moving averages that apply the same smoothing regardless of market conditions, MAMA adapts its behavior based on current market cycle characteristics. This may help reduce whipsaws during consolidation periods while maintaining responsiveness during trending phases.
Usage Considerations:
This indicator is designed for technical analysis purposes. The adaptive nature means that parameter optimization should consider the specific characteristics of the asset and timeframe being analyzed. Like all technical indicators, MAMA should be used as part of a comprehensive analysis approach rather than as a standalone signal generator.
Alert Functionality:
The indicator includes alert conditions for MAMA/FAMA crossovers, enabling automated notification of potential momentum shifts. These alerts can assist in timing analysis but should be combined with other forms of market analysis for decision-making purposes.
Señales de Compra/Venta - KUSKUS + MACD AlgoAlphaseñales de compra/venta con base en la alineación de dos indicadores
Kalman Ema Crosses - [JTCAPITAL]Kalman EMA Crosses - is a modified way to use Kalman Filters applied on Exponential Moving Averages (EMA Crosses) for Trend-Following.
The Kalman filter is a recursive smoothing algorithm that reduces noise from raw price or indicator data, and in this script it is applied both directly to price and on top of EMA calculations. The goal is to create cleaner, more reliable crossover signals between two EMAs that are less prone to false triggers caused by volatility or market noise.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection
The script starts by selecting the price input (default is Close, but can be adjusted). This chosen source is the foundation for all further smoothing and EMA calculations.
Kalman Filtering on Price
Depending on user settings, the selected source is passed through one of two independent Kalman filters. The filter takes into account process noise (representing expected market randomness) and measurement noise (representing uncertainty in the price data). The Kalman filter outputs a smoothed version of price that minimizes noise and preserves underlying trend structure.
EMA Calculation
Two exponential moving averages (EMA 1 and EMA 2) are then computed on the Kalman-smoothed price. The lengths of these EMAs are fully customizable (default 15 and 25).
Kalman Filtering on EMA Values
Instead of directly using raw EMA curves, the script applies a second layer of Kalman filtering to the EMA values themselves. This step significantly reduces whipsaw behavior, creating smoother crossovers that emphasize real momentum shifts rather than temporary volatility spikes.
Trend Detection via EMA Crossovers
-A bullish trend is detected when EMA 1 (fast) crosses above EMA 2 (slow).
-A bearish trend is detected when EMA 1 crosses below EMA 2.
The detected trend state is stored and used to dynamically color the plots.
Visual Representation
Both EMAs are plotted on the chart. Their colors shift to blue during bullish phases and purple during bearish phases. The area between the two EMAs is filled with a shaded region to clearly highlight trending conditions.
Buy and Sell Conditions :
- Buy Condition : When the Kalman-smoothed EMA 1 crosses above the Kalman-smoothed EMA 2, a bullish crossover is confirmed.
- Sell Condition : When EMA 1 crosses below EMA 2, a bearish crossover is confirmed.
Users may enhance the robustness of these signals by adjusting process noise, measurement noise, or EMA lengths. Lower measurement noise values make the filter react faster (but potentially noisier), while higher values make it smoother (but slower).
Features and Parameters :
- Source : Selectable price input (Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
- EMA 1 Length : Defines the fast EMA period.
- EMA 2 Length : Defines the slow EMA period.
- Process Noise : Controls how much randomness the Kalman filter assumes in price dynamics.
- Measurement Noise : Controls how much uncertainty is assumed in raw input data.
- Kalman Usage : Option to apply Kalman filtering either before EMA calculation (on price) or after (on EMA values).
Specifications :
Kalman Filter
The Kalman filter is an optimal recursive algorithm that estimates the state of a system from noisy measurements. In trading, it is used to smooth prices or indicator values. By balancing process noise (expected volatility) with measurement noise (data uncertainty), it generates a smoothed signal that reacts adaptively to market conditions.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
An EMA is a weighted moving average that emphasizes recent data more heavily than older data. This makes it more responsive than a simple moving average (SMA). EMAs are widely used to identify trends and momentum shifts.
EMA Crossovers
The crossing of a fast EMA above a slow EMA suggests bullish momentum, while the opposite suggests bearish momentum. This is a cornerstone technique in trend-following systems.
Dual Kalman Filtering
Applying Kalman both to raw price and to the EMAs themselves reduces whipsaws further. It creates crossover signals that are not only smoothed but also validated across two levels of noise reduction. This significantly enhances signal reliability compared to traditional EMA crossovers.
Process Noise
Represents the filter’s assumption about how much the underlying market can randomly change between steps. Higher values make the filter adapt faster to sudden changes, while lower values make it more stable.
Measurement Noise
Represents uncertainty in price data. A higher measurement noise value means the filter trusts the model more than the observed data, leading to smoother results. A lower value makes the filter more reactive to observed price fluctuations.
Trend Coloring & Fill
The use of dynamic colors and filled regions provides immediate visual recognition of trend states, helping traders act faster and with greater clarity.

Chimera [theUltimator5]In myth, the chimera is an “impossible” hybrid—lion, goat, and serpent fused into one—striking to look at and formidable in presence. The word has come to mean a beautiful, improbable union of parts that shouldn’t work together, yet do.
Chimera is a dual-mode market context tool that blends a multi-input oscillator with classic ADX/DI trend strength, plus optional multi-timeframe “gap-line” tracking. Use it to visualize regime (trend vs. range), momentum swings around an adaptive midline, and higher timeframe (HTF) reference levels that auto-terminate on touch/cross.
Modes
1) Oscillator view
A smoothed composite of five common inputs—RSI, MACD (oscillator), Bollinger position, Stochastic, and an ATR/DI-weighted bias. Each is normalized to a comparable 0–100 style scale, averaged, and plotted as a candle-style oscillator (short vs. long smoothing, wickless for clarity). A dynamic midline with standard-deviation bands frames neutral → bearish/bullish zones. Colors ramp from neutral to your chosen Oversold/Overbought endpoints; consolidation can override to white.
Here is a description of the (5) signals used to calculate the sentiment oscillator:
RSI (14): Measures recent momentum by comparing average gains vs. losses. High = strength after advances; low = weakness after declines. (Z-score normalized to 0–100.)
MACD oscillator (12/26/9): Uses the difference between MACD and its signal (histogram) to gauge momentum shifts. Positive = bullish tilt; negative = bearish. (Z-score normalized.)
Bollinger Bands position (20, 2): Locates price within the bands (0–100 from lower → upper). Near upper suggests strength/expansion; near lower suggests weakness/contraction. (Then normalized.)
Stochastic (14, 3, 3): Shows where the close sits within the recent high-low range, smoothed via %D. Higher values = closes near highs; lower = near lows. (Scaled 0–100.)
ATR/DI composite (14): Volatility-weighted directional bias: (+DI − −DI) amplified by ATR as a % of price and its relative average. Positive = bullish pressure with volatility; negative = bearish. (Rank/scale normalized.)
All five are normalized and averaged into one composite, then smoothed (short/long) and compared to an adaptive midline with bands.
2) ADX view
Shows ADX, +DI, –DI with user-defined High Threshold. Transparency and color shift with regime. When ADX is strong, a directional “fire/ice” gradient fills the area between ADX and the high threshold, biased toward the dominant DI; when ADX is weak, a soft white fade highlights low-trend conditions.
HTF gap-line tracking (optional; both modes)
Detects “gap-like” reference levels after weak-trend consolidation flips into a sudden DI jump.
Anchors a line at the event bar’s open and auto-terminates upon first touch/cross (tick-size tolerance).
Auto-selects up to three higher timeframes suited to your chart resolution and prints non-overlapping lines with labels like 1H / 4H / 1D. Lower-priority duplicates are suppressed to reduce clutter.
Confirmation / repaint notes
Signals and lines finalize on bar close of the relevant timeframe.
HTF elements update only on the HTF bar close. During a forming bar they may appear transiently.
Line removal finalizes after the bar that produced the touch/cross closes.
Visual cues & effects
Oscillator candles: Open/High = long smoothing; Low/Close = short smoothing (no wicks).
Adaptive bands: Midline ± StdDev Multiplier × stdev of the blended series.
Consolidation tint: Optional white backdrop/candles when the consolidation condition is true (balance + low ADX).
Breakout VFX (optional): With strong DI/ADX and Bollinger breaks, renders a subtle “fire” flare above upper-band thrusts or “ice” shelf below lower-band thrusts.

How to read it (quick guide)
Pick your lens: Oscillator for blended momentum around an adaptive midline; ADX for trend strength and DI skew.
Watch extremes & mean re-entries (Oscillator): Approaches to the top/bottom band show persistent momentum; returns toward the midline show normalization.
Check regime (ADX): Below Low = low-trend; above High = strong trend, with “fire/ice” bias toward +DI/–DI.
Track gap lines: Fresh labels mark new reference levels; lines auto-remove on first interaction. HTF lines add context but finalize only on HTF close.
The uniqueness from this indicator comes from multiple areas:
1. A unique multi-timeframe algorithm detects gap fill zones and plots them on the chart.
2. Visual effects for both visual modes were hand crafted to provide a visually stunning and intuitive interface.
3. The algorithm to determine sentiment uses a unique blend of weight and sensitivity adjustment to create a plot with elastic upper and lower bounds based off historical volatility and price action.
