AggBands (v1) [qrsq]The "AggBands" indicator is a custom trading indicator designed to provide a consolidated view of the price action across multiple assets or trading pairs. It combines the price data from multiple tickers and calculates an aggregated price using user-defined weights for each ticker.
The indicator starts by defining the tickers to be included in the aggregation. You can choose from predefined configurations such as "BTC PAIRS," "CRYPTO TOTAL MARKET CAP," "TOP 5 PAIRS," "TOP 5 MEMECOINS," "SPX," "DXY," or "FANG." Each configuration includes specific tickers or indices relevant to the chosen category.
The indicator then fetches the closing, high, and low prices for each ticker and applies the user-defined weights to calculate the aggregated prices. The aggregated prices are normalized within a specified length to provide a consistent scale across different assets or pairs.
Next, the indicator calculates the midpoint, which is the average of the highest high and lowest low of the aggregated prices over a specified aggregation period.
To assess the volatility, the indicator calculates the price range and applies the Average True Range (ATR) indicator to determine the volatility value. The standard deviation is then computed using the price range and aggregation period, with an additional scaling factor applied to the volatility value.
Based on the standard deviation, the indicator generates multiple bands above and below the midpoint. By default, three standard deviation bands are calculated, but the user can choose between one and five bands. The upper and lower bands are smoothed using various moving average (MA) types, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA/RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA), Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), or Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA). The user can also adjust the length, offset, and sigma parameters for the moving averages.
The indicator can optionally smooth the midpoint, upper bands, and lower bands using a separate set of moving average parameters.
The indicator can be useful for traders and analysts who want to gain a consolidated view of price movements across multiple assets or trading pairs. It helps identify trends, volatility, and potential support and resistance levels based on the aggregated price and standard deviation bands. Traders can use this information to make informed decisions about trading strategies, risk management, and market analysis.

Nadaraya-Watson Envelope Alternative [CHE] Super EnvelopeThe problem of the wonderfuls Nadaraya-Watson indicators is that they repainting, so I use a John Ehlers’ 2-pole Butterworth filter “Super Smoother”. With this indicator you are able to make adjustments to the length and using the multiplier out and thus to make the analysis as good as possible.
Settings:
smoothing length: Determines the length of the Super Envelope.
Adjustable multiplier: Multiplier for the bands
Show middle band: On and off center line
Hide Disclaimer: Uncheck to hide the disclaimer
Usage
This tool outlines extremes made by the prices within the selected window size. This is achieved by estimating the underlying trend in the price using Ehlers Super smoothing, calculating the mean absolute deviations from it, and adding/subtracting it from the estimated underlying trend.
We can expect the price to reverse when crossing one of the envelope extremities. Crosses between the price and the envelopes extremities are indicated with triangles on the chart.
I have integrated alerts for this indicator from the crosses between the price and the envelope extremities. However, i do not recommend this tool to be used alone or solely for real time applications.
best regards

Bar By Bar ATR [upslidedown]After seeing strategy after strategy refer to calculating ATR values using a "calculator" (how barbaric!), I thought I'd take a stab at one possible solution to the "problem" as an overlay indicator on the main chart that replaces traditional standard ATR bands. This indicator presents ATR within a channel with a slick trick: invisible hover-able tooltips for you to know the ATR value for your strategy from bar to bar. Just zoom in and hover over the high ATR range and you'll see take profit and stop loss values for whatever strategy you might be running. I defaulted the indicator to a 1:1.5 ATR standard setup because that is good for many strategies but this is as configurable as you'd like to make it. One notable improvement for this indicator over standard ATR bands is that many existing ATR bands only use integers and this one uses a float value, so you can endlessly customize based on whatever strategy you might be running.
Note: Because labels are limited by default, the best way to historically see ATR values is to use TV's replay feature. I did this on purpose to limit resource usage. One could certainly print more labels but I felt it unnecessary to go beyond the default number of labels.
RSI: chart overlay
This indicator maps RSI thresholds directly onto price. Since the EMA of price aligns with RSI’s 50-line, it draws a volatility-based band around the EMA to reveal levels such as 70 and 30.
By converting RSI values into visible price bands, the overlay lets you see exactly where price would have to move to hit traditional RSI boundaries. These bands adapt in real time to both price movement and market volatility, keeping the classic RSI logic intact while presenting it in the context of price action. This approach helps traders interpret RSI signals without leaving the main chart window.
The calculation uses the same components as the RSI: alternative derivation script: Wilder’s EMA for smoothing, a volatility-based unit for scaling, and a normalization factor. The result is a dynamic band structure on the chart, representing RSI boundary levels in actual price terms.
Key components and calculation breakdown:
Wilder’s EMA
Used as the anchor point for measuring price position.
myEMA = ta.rma(close, Length)
Volatility Unit
Derived from the EMA of absolute close-to-close price changes.
CC_vol = ta.rma(math.abs(close - close ), Length)
Normalization Factor
Scales the volatility unit to align with the RSI formula’s structure.
normalization_factor = 1 / (Length - 1)
Upper and Lower Boundaries
Defines price bands corresponding to selected RSI threshold values.
up_b = myEMA + ((upper - 50) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
down_b = myEMA - ((50 - lower) / 50) * (CC_vol / normalization_factor)
Inputs
RSI length
Upper boundary – RSI level above 50
Lower boundary – RSI level below 50
ON/OFF toggle for 50-point line (EMA of close prices)
ON/OFF toggle for overbought/oversold coloring (use with line chart)
Interpretation:
Each band on the chart represents a chosen RSI level.
When price touches a band, RSI is at that threshold.
The distance between moving average and bands adjusts automatically with volatility and your selected RSI length.
All calculations remain fully consistent with standard RSI values.
Feedback and code suggestions are welcome, especially regarding implementation efficiency and customization.
VWAP / ORB / VP & POCThis is an all-in-one technical analysis tool designed to give you a comprehensive view of the market on a single chart. It combines three powerful indicators—VWAP, Opening Range, and Volume Profile—to help you identify key price levels, understand intraday trends, and spot areas of high liquidity.
What It Does
The indicator plots three distinct components on your chart:
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): A benchmark that shows the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both price and volume. It's often used by institutional traders to gauge whether they are getting a good price. The script also plots standard deviation or percentage-based bands around the VWAP line, which can act as dynamic support and resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB): A tool that highlights the high and low of the initial trading period of a session (e.g., the first 15 minutes). The script draws lines for the opening price, range high, and range low for the rest of the session. It also colors the chart with zones to visually separate price action above, below, and within this critical opening range.
Volume Profile (VP): A powerful study that shows trading activity over a set number of bars at specific price levels. Unlike traditional volume that is plotted over time, this is plotted on the price axis. It helps you instantly see where the most and least trading has occurred, identifying significant levels like the Point of Control (POC)—the single price with the most volume—and the Value Area (VA), where the majority of trading took place.
How to Use It for Trading
The real strength of this indicator comes from finding confluence, where two or more of its components signal the same key level.
Identifying Support & Resistance: The POC, VWAP bands, Opening Range high/low, and session open price are all powerful levels to watch. When price approaches one of these levels, you can anticipate a potential reaction (a bounce or a breakout).
Gauging Intraday Trend: A simple rule of thumb is to consider the intraday trend bullish when the price is trading above the VWAP and bearish when it is trading below the VWAP.
Finding High-Value Zones: The Volume Profile’s Value Area (VA) shows you where the market has accepted a price. Trading within the VA is considered "fair value," while prices outside of it are "unfair." Reversals often happen when the price tries to re-enter the Value Area from the outside.
Settings:
Here’s a breakdown of all the settings you can change to customize the indicator to your liking.
Volume Profile Settings:
Number of Bars: How many of the most recent bars to use for the calculation. A higher number gives a broader profile.
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) in the profile. Higher numbers give a more detailed, granular view.
Value Area Volume %: The percentage of total volume to include in the Value Area (standard is 70%).
Horizontal Offset: Moves the Volume Profile further to the right to avoid overlapping with recent price action.
Colors & Styles: Customize the colors for the POC line, Value Area, and the up/down volume bars.
VWAP Settings:
Anchor Period: Resets the VWAP calculation at the start of a new Session, Week, Month, Year, etc. You can even anchor it to corporate events like Earnings or Splits.
Source: The price source used in the calculation (default is hlc3, the average of the high, low, and close).
Bands Calculation Mode:
Standard Deviation: The bands are based on statistical volatility.
Percentage: The bands are a fixed percentage away from the VWAP line.
Bands Multiplier: Sets the distance of the bands from the VWAP. You can enable and configure up to three sets of bands.
ORB Settings (Opening Range)
Opening Range Timeframe: The duration of the opening range (e.g., 15 for 15 minutes, 60 for the first hour).
Market Session & Time Zone: Crucial for ensuring the range is calculated at the correct time for the asset you're trading.
Line & Zone Styles: Full customization for the colors, thickness, and style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) of the High, Low, and Opening Price lines, as well as the background colors for the zones above, below, and within the range.
Yearly VWAP with Z-Score V2This script extends the traditional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) by applying it to yearly sessions (with a customizable start month) and combining it with a Z-Score framework to standardize price deviations from VWAP.
Features
Yearly VWAP: Automatically resets at the selected month, making it possible to align VWAP with fiscal or seasonal cycles (e.g., June–May).
Volatility-Weighted Bands: Standard deviation is calculated using volume-weighted price variance, creating adaptive upper and lower bands around VWAP.
Z-Score Calculation: Converts price distance from VWAP into standardized scores, ranging from +2.5 to –2.5. This enables statistical interpretation of whether price is trading at fair value, extended, or oversold relative to VWAP.
Custom Session Control: Input allows users to change the yearly anchor month.
On-Chart Display: VWAP and bands are plotted, with a live Z-Score label shown on the latest bar.
How to Use
Fair Value Reference: VWAP reflects the average price weighted by volume over the yearly session — a natural equilibrium point.
Overbought / Oversold Detection: Extreme Z-Score readings (±2 or beyond) highlight when price is stretched relative to VWAP.
Cycle Analysis: Resetting VWAP by custom months allows studying market behavior over fiscal years, seasons, or custom trading cycles.
Part of a Broader Toolkit: This script is not a standalone trading system. It works best when aggregated with other indicators, confluence factors, or a structured strategy.
Originality
Unlike a standard VWAP, this version:
Uses yearly anchoring with custom start month instead of session/day anchoring.
Adds volume-weighted standard deviation bands for statistical context.
Translates distance into a Z-Score scale for objective overbought/oversold assessment.
Positive Z-Score values indicate zones where price is positioned favorably for accumulation or potential buys, while negative values highlight areas more suitable for distribution or profit-taking — always best used in confluence with other tools rather than as a standalone signal
Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence
⚙️ Components & Sequence Multiple Timeframe (What It Does)
1. Bollinger Bands – Form the foundation by measuring volatility and creating the dynamic range where squeezes and breakouts occur.
2. Squeeze Dots – Show when price compresses inside the bands, signaling reduced volatility before expansion.
3. Breakout Event (Brk Dot) – Fires when price expands beyond the squeeze zone, confirming volatility expansion. (This paints Intra, before candle close)
4. Buy Signal – Confirms entry after a breakout is validated. (This paints at candle close)
5. Pump Signal – Flags sudden surges that extend sharply from the bands, often linked to strong inflows.
6. Momentum Stream – Tracks the strength of movement following the breakout, from continuation (🟢) to slowing (🟡) to exhaustion (🔴). (Resets at Pump Signal)
7. Overbought Indicator – Confirms when momentum has reached overheated conditions, often aligning with band extremes.
8. Sell Signal – Prints when exhaustion/reversal conditions are met, closing the trade cycle.
The Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence is a no-repaint event indicator that maps a full trade cycle using Bollinger-band-based volatility states: Bollinger Bands → Squeeze → Breakout → Buy → Pump → Momentum → Top Test → Overbought → Sell. Each stage is rule-based and designed to be read on standard candlesticks.
How It Works (System Logic)
Volatility framework: Bollinger Bands define dynamic range and compression/expansion.
Initiation: Squeeze → Breakout confirms expansion; Buy validates participation after expansion begins.
Management: Pump highlights unusual acceleration; Momentum stream tracks continuation → slowing → exhaustion.
Exhaustion/Exit: Top Testing + Overbought build the exhaustion case; Sell marks the sequence end.
How To Use (Quick Guide)
Wait for Squeeze → Breakout → Buy to establish a structured start.
Manage with Momentum:
🟢 continuation, 🟡 slowing, 🔴 exhaustion pressure.
Monitor extremes: Top Testing and/or Overbought = tighten risk.
Exit on Sell or on your risk rules when exhaustion builds.
Limitations & Good Practice
Signals reflect price/volatility behavior, not certainty.
Strong trends can remain extended; Overbought/Top Test ≠ instant reversal.
Always confirm with your own risk rules, position sizing, and market context.
Initial public release: integrated Squeeze/Breakout/Buy → Momentum → Exhaustion → Sell cycle; improved label clarity; cleaned defaults.

Scalping, Swing Pro: Urban Towers + Bollinger(0.5)+ WMA by KidevThis indicator combines narrow Bollinger Bands (σ = 0.5) with a Weighted Moving Average (WMA-96) to provide traders with a reliable framework for identifying both short-term scalps and medium-term swing setups.
Bollinger Bands (0.5σ):
Traditional Bollinger Bands at 2σ cover ~95% of price movement, while 0.5σ bands narrow the focus to ~50% of price activity. This tighter structure makes them ideal for detecting volatility contractions, consolidations, and early breakout signals.
WMA-96 as Trend Reference:
The 96-period WMA acts as a slower, more stable directional guide. Unlike shorter WMAs, this longer setting filters noise and serves as a reference line for the dominant trend. Traders can use it as an anchor for intraday or swing positions.
Scalping & Swing Benefits:
Price holding above the WMA-96 while staying near the upper 0.5σ band often signals strength.
Contractions (squeezes) in the 0.5σ band followed by expansion frequently mark breakout zones.
Pullbacks toward the WMA-96 combined with band signals can act as re-entry or risk-defined trade areas.
This script provides a balanced view of momentum and stability — the 0.5σ bands reveal short-term volatility shifts, while the WMA-96 grounds the trader in the prevailing trend.
Bitcoin Cycle Log-Curve (JDK-Analysis)Important: The standard parameters provided in the script are specifically tuned for the TradingView Bitcoin Index chart on a monthly timeframe on logarithmic scale, and will yield the most accurate visual alignment when applied to that dataset. (more below)
This very simple script visualizes Bitcoin’s long-term price behavior using a logarithmic regression model designed to reflect the cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s historical market trends. Unlike typical technical indicators that react to recent price movements, this tool is built on the assumption that Bitcoin follows an exponential growth path over time, shaped by its fixed supply structure and four-year halving cycles.
The calculation behind the curved bands:
An upper boundary, a lower boundary, and a central midline, are calculated based on logarithmic functions applied to the bar index (which serves as a proxy for time). The upper and lower bounds are defined using exponential formulas of the type y = exp(constant + coefficient * log(bar_index)), allowing the curves to evolve dynamically over time. These bands serve as a macro-level guide for identifying periods of historical overvaluation (upper red curve) and undervaluation (lower green curve), with a central black curve representing the geometric average of the two.
How to customize the parameters:
The lower1_const and upper1_const values vertically shift the respective lower and upper curves—more negative values push the curve downward, while higher values lift it.
The lower1_coef and upper1_coef control the steepness of the curves over time, with higher values resulting in faster growth relative to time.
The shift_factor allows for uniform vertical adjustment of all curves simultaneously.
Additionally, the channel_width setting determines how far the mirrored bands extend from the original curves, creating a visual “channel” that can highlight more conservative or aggressive valuation zones depending on preference.
How to use this indicator:
This indicator is not intended for short-term trading or intraday signals. Rather, it serves as a contextual framework for long-term investors to identify high-risk zones near the upper curve and potential long-term value opportunities near the lower curve. These areas historically align with cycle tops and bottoms, and the model helps to place current price action within that broader cyclical narrative. While the concept draws inspiration from Bitcoin’s halving-driven market cycles and exponential adoption curve, the implementation is original in its use of time-based logarithmic regression to define dynamic trend boundaries.
It is best used as a strategic tool for cycle analysis, macro positioning, and trend anchoring—rather than as a short-term signal provider.

Smart Fib StrategySmart Fibonacci Strategy
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of adaptive SMA entries with Fibonacci-based exit levels to create a comprehensive trend-following system that self-optimizes based on historical market conditions. Credit goes to Julien_Eche who created the "Best SMA Finder" which received an Editors Pick award.
Strategy Overview
The Smart Fibonacci Strategy employs a two-pronged approach to trading:
1. Intelligent Entries: Uses a self-optimizing SMA (Simple Moving Average) to identify optimal entry points. The system automatically tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data to determine which period provides the most robust trading signals.
2. Fibonacci-Based Exits: Implements ATR-adjusted Fibonacci bands to establish precise exit targets, with risk-management options ranging from conservative to aggressive.
This dual methodology creates a balanced system that adapts to changing market conditions while providing clear visual reference points for trade management.
Key Features
- **Self-Optimizing Entries**: Automatically calculates the most profitable SMA length based on historical performance
- **Adjustable Risk Parameters**: Choose between low-risk and high-risk exit targets
- **Directional Flexibility**: Trade long-only, short-only, or both directions
- **Visualization Tools**: Customizable display of entry lines and exit bands
- **Performance Statistics**: Comprehensive stats table showing key metrics
- **Smoothing Option**: Reduces noise in the Fibonacci bands for cleaner signals
Trading Rules
Entry Signals
- **Long Entry**: When price crosses above the blue center line (optimal SMA)
- **Short Entry**: When price crosses below the blue center line (optimal SMA)
### Exit Levels
- **Low Risk Option**: Exit at the first Fibonacci band (1.618 * ATR)
- **High Risk Option**: Exit at the second Fibonacci band (2.618 * ATR)
Strategy Parameters
Display Settings
- Toggle visibility of the stats table and indicator components
Strategy Settings
- Select trading direction (long, short, or both)
- Choose exit method (low risk or high risk)
- Set minimum trades threshold for SMA optimization
SMA Settings
- Option to use auto-optimized or fixed-length SMA
- Customize SMA length when using fixed option
Fibonacci Settings
- Adjust ATR period and SMA basis for Fibonacci bands
- Enable/disable smoothing function
- Customize Fibonacci ratio multipliers
Appearance Settings
- Modify colors, line widths, and transparency
Optimization Methodology
The strategy employs a sophisticated optimization algorithm that:
1. Tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data
2. Evaluates performance based on trade count, profit factor, and win rate
3. Calculates a "robustness score" that balances profitability with statistical significance
4. Selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score
This ensures that the strategy's entry signals are continuously adapting to the most effective parameters for current market conditions.
Risk Management
Position sizing is fixed at $2,000 per trade, allowing for consistent exposure across all trading setups. The Fibonacci-based exit system provides two distinct risk management approaches:
- **Conservative Approach**: Using the first Fibonacci band for exits produces more frequent but smaller wins
- **Aggressive Approach**: Using the second Fibonacci band allows for larger potential gains at the cost of increased volatility
Ideal Usage
This strategy is best suited for:
- Trending markets with clear directional moves
- Timeframes from 4H to Daily for most balanced results
- Instruments with moderate volatility (stocks, forex, commodities)
Traders can further enhance performance by combining this strategy with broader market analysis to confirm the prevailing trend direction.
Bollinger Volatility AnalyzerThe Bollinger Volatility Analyzer (BVA) is a powerful enhancement of the traditional Bollinger Bands indicator, tailored to help traders identify volatility cycles and catch potential breakouts with better precision and timing. It builds upon the foundational concept of Bollinger Bands—using a moving average and standard deviation bands—but adds crucial insights into market contraction and expansion, which can be instrumental in timing entries and exits.
Here's how it works and why it's useful
At its core, the indicator calculates a moving average (called the "basis") and plots two bands—one above and one below—based on a multiple of standard deviation. These bands expand during volatile periods and contract during quiet ones. The width between these bands, normalized as a percentage of the basis, gives us a sense of how compressed or expanded the market currently is. When the band width drops below a user-defined threshold (like 2%), the script highlights this with an orange triangle below the bar. This is the "squeeze" condition, signaling a potential buildup of market energy—a kind of calm before the storm.
What makes this version of Bollinger Bands particularly powerful is that it not only detects squeezes, but also tells you when price breaks out of that squeeze range. If price closes above the upper band after a squeeze, a green "Breakout ↑" label is shown; if it closes below the lower band, a red "Breakout ↓" appears. These breakout labels act as entry signals, suggesting that volatility is returning and a directional move has begun.
This indicator is especially useful in markets that tend to alternate between consolidation and breakout phases, such as forex, crypto, and even individual stocks. Traders who look for early signs of momentum—whether for swing trading, scalping, or position building—can benefit from this tool. During a quiet market phase, the indicator warns you that a move might be coming; when the move starts, it tells you the direction.
In fast-moving markets, BVA helps filter out noise by focusing only on high-probability conditions: quiet consolidation followed by a strong breakout. It’s not a complete system by itself—it works best when paired with volume confirmation or oscillators like RSI—but as a volatility trigger and directional guide, it’s a reliable component of a trading workflow.

How to Use AdvancedLines (FiboBands) - PaSKaL in Trading :
Range Trading :
Range traders typically buy at support and sell at resistance. Fibonacci levels provide excellent support and resistance zones in a ranging market.
Example: If price reaches the 0.618 level in an uptrend, it may reverse, providing an opportunity to sell.
Conversely, if price drops to the 0.382 level, a bounce might occur, and traders can buy, anticipating the market will stay within the range.
Trend-following Trading :
For trend-following traders, Fibonacci levels act as potential entry points during a retracement. After a strong trend, price often retraces to one of the Fibonacci levels before continuing in the direction of the trend.
Example: In a bullish trend, when price retraces to the 0.382 level, it could be a signal to buy, as the price might resume its upward movement after the correction.
In a bearish trend, retracements to levels like 0.618 or 0.764 could provide optimal opportunities for shorting as the price resumes its downward movement.
Scalping :
Scalpers focus on short-term price movements. Fibonacci levels can help identify precise entry and exit points for quick trades.
Example: If price is fluctuating in a narrow range, a scalper can enter a buy trade at 0.236 and exit at the next Fibonacci level, such as 0.382 or 0.5, capturing small but consistent profits.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels :
Fibonacci levels can also help in setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Example: In a bullish trend, you can set a stop-loss just below the 0.236 level and a take-profit at 0.618.
In a bearish trend, set the stop-loss just above the 0.382 level and the take-profit at 0.764.
Identifying Reversals and Continuations :
Reversals: When price reaches a Fibonacci level and reverses direction, it may indicate the end of a price move.
Trend Continuation: If price bounces off a Fibonacci level and continues in the same direction, this may signal that the trend is still intact.

Rainbow MA- AYNETDescription
What it Does:
The Rainbow Indicator visualizes price action with a colorful "rainbow-like" effect.
It uses a moving average (SMA) and dynamically creates bands around it using standard deviation.
Features:
Seven bands are plotted, each corresponding to a different rainbow color (red to purple).
Each band is calculated using the moving average (ta.sma) and a smoothing multiplier (smooth) to control their spread.
User Inputs:
length: The length of the moving average (default: 14).
smooth: Controls the spacing between the bands (default: 0.5).
radius: Adjusts the size of the circular points (default: 3).
How it Works:
The bands are plotted above and below the moving average.
The offset for each band is calculated using standard deviation and a user-defined smoothing multiplier.
Plotting:
Each rainbow band is plotted individually using plot() with circular points (plot.style_circles).
Customization
You can modify the color palette, adjust the smoothing multiplier, or change the moving average length to suit your needs.
The number of bands can also be increased or decreased by adding/removing colors from the colors array and updating the loop.

Gaussian Kernel Smoothing EMAGaussian Kernel Smoothing EMA
The Gaussian Kernel Smoothing EMA integrates the exponential moving average with kernel smoothing techniques to refine the trend tool. Kernel smoothing is a non-parametric technique used to estimate a smooth curve from a set of data points. It is particularly useful in reducing noise and capturing the underlying structure of data. The smoothed value at each point is calculated as a weighted average of neighboring points, with the weights determined by a kernel function.
The Gaussian kernel is a popular choice in kernel smoothing due to its properties of being smooth, symmetric, and having infinite support. This function gives higher weights to data points closer to the target point and lower weights to those further away, resulting in a smooth and continuous estimate. Since price isn't normally distributed a logarithmic transformation is performed to remove most of its skewness to be able to fit the Gaussian kernel.
This indicator also has a bandwidth, which in kernel smoothing controls the width of the window over which the smoothing is performed. It determines how much influence nearby data points have on the smoothed value. In this indicator, the bandwidth is dynamically adjusted based on the standard deviation of the log-transformed prices so that the smoothing adapts to the underlying variability and potential volatility.
Bandwidth Factor: The bandwidth factor in this indicator is used to adjust the degree of the smoothing applied to the MA. In kernel smoothing, Bandwidth controls the width of the window over which the smoothing is applied. It determines how many data points around a central point are considered when calculating a smooth value. A smaller bandwidth results in less smoothing, while a larger bandwidth smooths out more noise, leading to a broader, more general trend.

Bollinger and Stochastic with Trailing Stop - D.M.P.This trading strategy combines Bollinger Bands and the Stochastic indicator to identify entry opportunities in oversold and overbought conditions in the market. The aim is to capitalize on price rebounds from the extremes defined by the Bollinger Bands, with the confirmation of the Stochastic to maximize the probability of success of the operations.
Indicators Used
- Bollinger Bands Used to measure volatility and define oversold and overbought levels. When the price touches or breaks through the lower band, it indicates a possible oversold condition. Similarly, when it touches or breaks through the upper band, it indicates a possible overbought condition.
- Stochastic: A momentum oscillator that compares the closing price of an asset with its price range over a certain period. Values below 20 indicate oversold, while values above 80 indicate overbought.
Strategy Logic
- Long Entry (Buy): A purchase operation is executed when the price closes below the lower Bollinger band (indicating oversold) and the Stochastic is also in the oversold zone.
- Short Entry (Sell): A sell operation is executed when the price closes above the upper Bollinger band (indicating overbought) and the Stochastic is in the overbought zone.

5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.

Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.
Backtesting and Default Settings
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
Logical Trading Indicator V.1Features of the Logical Trading Indicator V.1
ATR-Based Trailing Stop Loss
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to implement a dynamic trailing stop loss. You can customize the sensitivity of your alerts by adjusting the ATR Multiple and ATR Period settings.
Higher ATR Multiple values create wider stops, while lower values result in tighter stops. This feature ensures that your trades are protected against adverse price movements. For best practice, use higher values on higher timeframes and lower values on lower term timeframes.
Bollinger Bands
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 includes Bollinger Bands, which can be customized to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the basis.
You can adjust the length and standard deviation multiplier of the Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your strategy. The color of the basis line changes to green when price is above and red when price is below the line to represent the trend.
The bands show a range vs a single band that also represents when the price is in overbought and oversold ranges similar to an RSI. These bands also control the take profit signals.
You also have the ability to change the band colors as well as toggle them off, which only affects the view, they are still active which will still fire the take profit signals.
Momentum Indicator
Our indicator offers a momentum filter option that highlights market momentum directly on the candlesticks, identifying periods of bullish, bearish, or consolidation phases. You can enable or disable this filter as needed, providing valuable insights into market conditions.
By default, you will see the candlestick colors represent the momentum direction as green or red, and consolidation periods as white, but the filter on the BUY and SELL signals is not active. The view options and filter can be toggled on and off in the settings.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of ATR-based filtering, Bollinger Band basis crossover, and optional momentum conditions if selected in the settings. These signals help you make informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade. You can also enable a consolidation filter to stay out of trades during tight ranges.
Basically a BUY signal fires when the price closes above the basis line, and the price meets or exceeds the ATR multiple from the previous candle length, which is also editable in the settings.
If the momentum filter is engaged, it will not fire BUY signals when in consolidation periods. It works just the opposite for SELL signals.
Take Profit Signals
We've integrated a Take Profit feature that helps you identify points to exit your trades with profits. The indicator marks Long Take Profit when prices close below the upper zone line of the Bollinger Bands after the previous candle closes inside the band, suggesting an optimal point to exit a long trade or consider a short position.
Conversely, Short Take Profit signals appear when prices close above the lower zone after the previous candle closes inside of it, indicating the right time to exit a short trade or contemplate a long position.
Alerts for Informed Trading
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 comes equipped with alert conditions for buy signals, sell signals, take profit points, and more. Receive real-time notifications to your preferred devices or platforms to stay updated on market movements and trading opportunities.
