Bands and Channels Laboratory [DAFE]Bands and Channels Laboratory : The Ultimate Volatility & Envelope Engine
40+ Unique Algorithms. The Revolutionary MTF Horizon Display. Smart Kill Zones & Pattern Recognition. This is not just a band indicator; it is the definitive toolkit for mastering market volatility.
█ PHILOSOPHY: BEYOND THE BAND, INTO THE LABORATORY
Standard band indicators like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels are built on a simple, powerful idea: price tends to revert to a mean, and its deviation from that mean is a measure of volatility. However, their core calculations are primitive. A simple moving average for the basis and a simple standard deviation for the width are blunt instruments in a market that demands surgical precision and adaptability.
The Bands and Channels Laboratory was not created to be another band indicator. It was engineered to be the final word on volatility and envelope analysis. This is not just an indicator; it is a powerful, interactive research environment. It is a laboratory where you, the trader, can move beyond the static "one-size-fits-all" approach and forge a volatility system that is perfectly synchronized with the unique physics of your market.
We have deconstructed the very concept of a "band," separating it into its three core components— The Basis (Center Line) , The Deviation (Width) , and The Band Type (Envelope Logic) —and rebuilt each one with a library of dozens of advanced algorithms. This modular approach provides an almost infinite number of unique combinations, allowing you to construct a tool that is truly your own.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS THE "ULTIMATE" LABORATORY? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This tool stands in a class of its own, offering a suite of proprietary features that collectively create an unparalleled analytical experience.
The 40+ Algorithm Core (Modular Engine): This is the heart of the Laboratory. You have independent control over the mathematical engine for each part of the band:
22 Basis Algorithms: Choose anything from a classic SMA to a zero-lag Hull MA, an adaptive KAMA, or a proprietary DAFE engine for your center line.
16 Deviation Algorithms: Move beyond simple standard deviation. Use statistically robust measures like Parkinson Volatility, advanced concepts like the Ulcer Index, or proprietary DAFE engines like "DAFE Dark Matter" to calculate your band width.
14 Band Types: Select the fundamental logic, from Bollinger and Keltner to unique DAFE models like "DAFE Quantum Bands."
The MTF Horizon Display: A revolutionary leap in data visualization. The Horizon projects up to three "holographic" displays of higher-timeframe band metrics (like Bandwidth % or Squeeze State) directly onto your main price chart. You can now see the "Macro Volatility" of the 1-Hour, 4-Hour, and Daily charts without ever leaving your 5-minute screen.
The Smart Kill Zone Engine: The indicator automatically identifies, plots, and tracks high-probability reversal zones. These are not based on simple price pivots. They are generated by identifying price levels where price interacted with the bands on high volume and with significant momentum, marking a true, institutionally defended level.
The Pattern Recognition Engine: The Laboratory isn't just reactive; it's proactive. It automatically detects and labels critical band patterns, including multiple types of Squeezes (Coiling, Compression), strong Walking Bands trends, and subtle Band Divergences that often precede major reversals.
The Visualization Core: Data should be intuitive and beautiful. Choose from 11 distinct, animated, and theme-aware rendering modes . From the glowing "Quantum Field" and flowing "Plasma Storm" to the abstract "Neural Network," you can transform the simple band into interactive data art.
█ A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ALGORITHMIC CORE
This is your library of mathematical DNA. Understanding your tools is the first step to mastery.
THE ENGINE FAMILIES
The Basis Algorithms (Center Line): You have over 22 choices. Replace the lagging SMA with a Hull MA for zero lag, a KAMA for adaptivity, or the DAFE Tensor Cloud for a 4D average of OHLC data. Your center line is now as intelligent as you want it to be.
The Deviation Algorithms (Band Width): You have over 16 choices. Go beyond simple standard deviation. Use advanced statistical measures like Garman-Klass or Yang-Zhang for a more efficient estimate of volatility. Or, deploy proprietary DAFE engines like DAFE Entropy , which widens the bands in chaotic markets, or DAFE Elastic , which resists extreme expansion.
The Band Types: Choose from 14 fundamental logics, including classics like Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels , and Donchian Channels , as well as proprietary DAFE models like the DAFE Quantum Bands , which use a noise-canceling step function for their width.
█ ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE: THE SIGNAL & PATTERN ENGINES
The Laboratory transforms bands from a simple contextual tool into a complete trading framework.
The Signal Engine: You are not limited to one strategy. Choose from eight distinct signal modes, from classic Mean Reversion on a band touch to aggressive Squeeze Breakouts or robust Trend Following signals. The "Smart Composite" mode uses a multi-factor scoring system to identify only the highest quality setups.
The Pattern Engine: This is your early warning system.
Squeeze Classification: It doesn't just tell you there's a squeeze; it classifies its type ("Coiling," "Compression"), giving you insight into the potential energy being stored.
Walking the Bands: It automatically detects when price is "walking" or "riding" the upper or lower band—the signature of an extremely powerful trend.
Band Divergence: It alerts you to subtle but powerful divergences between the trend of the price and the trend of the bandwidth, often signaling trend exhaustion before it's visible in price action.
█ THE MASTER DASHBOARD: YOUR "AT-A-GLANCE" COMMAND CENTER
The professional-grade dashboard provides a comprehensive, real-time summary of the entire volatility system's state.
Position & State: Instantly see the price's position relative to the bands (%B), the current Bandwidth percentage, and the overall Volatility Regime (HIGH, LOW, NORMAL).
Pattern Readout: Get a real-time display of the currently detected band pattern (e.g., "SQUEEZE: COILING," "WALKING UPPER").
Signal Status: Confirms the most recent signal generated by your chosen signal mode and displays its calculated "Strength."
Optimizer Data: When enabled, shows the backtest results of your current settings, including Win Rate, Profit Factor, and a proprietary Robustness Score.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
Bands Laboratory Ultra was born from a fascination with the physics of the market: the constant ebb and flow between equilibrium and chaos, compression and expansion. We believe that volatility is not just a risk metric; it is the very energy that drives all market movement. This tool was designed for the serious trader who seeks to understand and harness that energy. It is for the analyst who wants to deconstruct, test, and build a volatility tool that is a perfect extension of their own mind.
This Laboratory is designed to help you be wrong less often by providing a crystal-clear, multi-dimensional view of market volatility, allowing you to filter out low-probability trades and act with precision when the odds are stacked in your favor.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS AN ADVANCED ANALYTICAL TOOL: This indicator provides a sophisticated volatility and signal framework. It must be integrated into a complete trading plan that includes your own analysis and risk management.
TEST, DON'T GUESS: The power of this tool is its adaptability. Use the built-in Optimizer Engine to rigorously test different algorithm combinations and settings on your chosen asset and timeframe.
START WITH A ROBUST BASE: A classic "Bollinger Bands" type with a "Hull MA" basis and "Standard Deviation" is an excellent, low-lag starting point. From there, begin experimenting with more advanced deviation methods or basis algorithms.
USE CONFLUENCE: The highest probability signals come from confluence. A "Squeeze Breakout" buy signal that is confirmed by high volume, a bullish ADX, and alignment with the MTF Horizon is an A++ setup.
"In the business of trading, the winner is not the person who is never wrong, but the person who is wrong the least."

DayTradeMind Combined High Win Rate StrategyThe DayTradeMind Combined High Win Rate Strategy is a trend-following system that relies on confluence—the idea that a trade signal is stronger when multiple independent indicators agree. Instead of entering on a single indicator's whim, it uses a "voting" system to qualify entries and a strict risk-to-reward ratio to manage exits.Here is a breakdown of the three main layers of this strategy:1. The Voting Engine (Confluence Model)The strategy tracks four indicators and assigns a "point" for a bullish or bearish bias. It requires a minimum number of points (set by minConfirmations, usually 2/4) before it even considers a trade.IndicatorBullish Condition (1 point)Bearish Condition (1 point)PurposeMACDMACD Line > Signal LineMACD Line < Signal LineMeasures short-term momentum.DonchianPrice > 20-period MedianPrice < 20-period MedianIdentifies price relative to recent range.SuperTrendPrice above trend linePrice below trend lineFilters for the "Macro" trend direction.%B (Bollinger)Price in lower-mid range (0.2–0.5)Price in upper-mid range (0.5–0.8)Prevents buying when overextended.2. The Entry TriggerHaving enough "votes" (confirmations) isn't enough to enter. The strategy waits for a trigger event to ensure you aren't entering a stale trend. An entry only occurs if the minimum confirmations are met AND one of the following happens on the current bar:MACD Cross: The MACD line crosses over the signal line.Structural Break: The price crosses over the Donchian Middle (Median) line.This "Confirmation + Trigger" approach is designed to catch the start of a momentum push rather than buying a flat market.3. Mathematical Risk ManagementThe performance you see in your backtest (like the 46.86% return) is largely driven by the 2:1 Reward-to-Risk (RR) Ratio.Stop Loss (SL): Fixed at 2% below entry.Take Profit (TP): Fixed at 4% above entry.By aiming for a target twice as large as the risk, the strategy can remain profitable even with a win rate as low as 35%–40%. Mathematically, your winning trades compensate for more than two losing trades.Visualizing the SystemTriangles: Small green (up) and red (down) triangles appear on your chart only when the Votes + Trigger align perfectly.Background Shading: Faint green or red bands show you exactly when the "Confluence" is active. If the background is gray, the indicators are in conflict.Dashboard: The table in the top-right summarizes the current "score" for each indicator, letting you know how close you are to a potential trade signal.
Neeson bitcoin Dynamic ATR Trailing SystemNeeson bitcoin Dynamic ATR Trailing System: A Comprehensive Guide to Volatility-Adaptive Trend Following
Introduction
The Dynamic ATR Trailing System (DATR-TS) represents a sophisticated approach to trend following that transcends conventional moving average or breakout-based methodologies. Unlike standard trend-following systems that rely on price pattern recognition or fixed parameter oscillators, this system operates on the principle of volatility-adjusted position management—a nuanced approach that dynamically adapts to changing market conditions rather than imposing rigid rules on market behavior.
Originality and Innovation
Distinct Methodological Approach
What sets DATR-TS apart from hundreds of existing trend-following systems is its dual-layered conditional execution framework. While most trend-following systems fall into one of three broad categories—moving average crossovers, channel breakouts, or momentum oscillators—this system belongs to the more specialized category of volatility-normalized trailing stop systems.
Key Original Contributions:
Volatility-Threshold Signal Filtering: Most trend systems generate signals continuously, leading to overtrading during low-volatility periods. DATR-TS implements a proprietary volatility filter that requires minimum market movement before generating signals, effectively separating high-probatility trend opportunities from market noise.
Self-Contained Position State Management: Unlike traditional systems that require external position tracking, DATR-TS maintains an internal position state that prevents contradictory signals and creates a closed-loop decision framework.
Dynamic Risk Parameter Adjustment: The system doesn't use fixed percentage stops or rigid ATR multiples. Instead, it implements a responsive adjustment mechanism that widens stops during high volatility and tightens them during low volatility, creating an optimal balance between risk protection and opportunity capture.
Trader-Centric Visualization Philosophy: Beyond mere signal generation, the system provides a comprehensive visual feedback system designed to align with human cognitive patterns, reducing emotional decision-making through consistent color coding and information hierarchy.
Technical Implementation and Functionality
Core Operational Mechanism
DATR-TS implements a volatility-adjusted trend persistence model that operates on the principle that trending markets exhibit characteristic volatility signatures. The system specifically targets medium-term directional movements (typically lasting 5-20 days) rather than short-term scalping opportunities or long-term position trades.
The Four-Pillar Architecture:
Volatility Measurement and Normalization
Calculates Average True Range (ATR) over a user-defined period
Converts absolute volatility to percentage terms relative to price
Compares current volatility against user-defined thresholds to filter suboptimal conditions
Dynamic Trailing Stop Algorithm
Establishes an initial stop distance based on current volatility
Implements a four-state adjustment mechanism that responds to price action
Maintains stop position during trend continuation while allowing for trend reversal detection
Conditional Signal Generation
Generates entry signals only when price action meets both directional and volatility criteria
Produces exit signals based on trailing stop penetration
Incorporates position state awareness to prevent conflicting signals
Comprehensive Feedback System
Provides multi-layer visual information including dynamic stop lines, signal labels, and color-coded price action
Displays real-time metrics through an integrated dashboard
Offers configurable visualization options for different trading styles
Specific Trend-Following Methodology
DATR-TS employs a volatility-normalized trailing stop breakout approach, which differs significantly from common trend identification methods:
Not a moving average crossover system (like MACD or traditional MA crosses)
Not a channel breakout system (like Bollinger Band or Donchian Channel breaks)
Not a momentum oscillator system (like RSI or Stochastic trend following)
Not a price pattern recognition system (like head-and-shoulders or triangle breaks)
Instead, it belongs to the more specialized category of volatility-adjusted stop-and-reverse systems that:
Wait for market volatility to reach actionable levels
Establish positions when price confirms directional bias through stop penetration
Manage risk dynamically based on evolving market conditions
Exit positions when the trend exhausts itself through stop violation
Practical Application and Usage
Market Environment Optimization
Ideal Conditions:
Trending markets with sustained directional movement
Medium volatility environments (neither excessively calm nor chaotic)
Timeframes: 4-hour to daily charts for optimal signal quality
Instruments: Forex majors, commodity futures, equity indices
Suboptimal Conditions:
Ranging or consolidating markets
Extreme volatility events or news-driven spikes
Very short timeframes (below 1-hour)
Illiquid or highly manipulated instruments
Parameter Configuration Strategy
Core Parameter Philosophy:
ATR Length (Default: 21 periods)
Controls the system's memory of volatility
Shorter lengths increase sensitivity but may cause overtrading
Longer lengths provide smoother signals but may lag during volatility shifts
ATR Multiplier (Default: 6.3x)
Determines the initial risk buffer
Lower values (4-5x) create tighter stops for conservative trading
Higher values (6-8x) allow for larger trends but increase drawdown risk
Volatility Threshold (Default: 1.5%)
Filters out low-quality trading environments
Adjust based on market characteristics (higher for volatile markets)
Acts as a quality control mechanism for signals
Trading Workflow and Execution
Signal Interpretation and Action:
Entry Protocol:
Wait for BLUE "BUY" signal label appearance
Confirm volatility conditions meet threshold requirements
Enter long position at market or next reasonable opportunity
Set initial stop at displayed dynamic stop level
Position Management:
Monitor dynamic stop line for position adjustment
Allow profits to run while stop protects capital
No manual adjustment required—system manages stop automatically
Exit Protocol:
Exit on ORANGE "SELL" signal label appearance
Alternative exit if price hits dynamic stop level
System will generate new entry signal if conditions warrant re-entry
Risk Management Integration:
Position sizing based on distance to dynamic stop
Volatility filter prevents trades during unfavorable conditions
Clear visual feedback on current risk exposure
Built-in protection against overtrading
Philosophical Foundation and Market Theory
Core Trading Principles
DATR-TS embodies several foundational market principles:
Volatility Defines Opportunity
Markets don't trend continuously—they alternate between trending and ranging phases
Volatility provides the energy for trends to develop and sustain
By measuring and filtering volatility, we can focus on high-probability trend phases
Risk Should Be Proportional
Fixed percentage stops ignore market context
Dynamic stops that adjust with volatility provide more appropriate risk management
Position sizing should reflect current market conditions, not arbitrary rules
Simplicity Through Sophistication
Complex systems often fail in real-world conditions
A simple core algorithm with intelligent filtering outperforms complex multi-indicator approaches
Clear visual feedback reduces cognitive load and emotional interference
Trends Persist Until Proven Otherwise
Markets exhibit momentum characteristics
Once a trend establishes itself, it tends to continue
The trailing stop methodology captures this persistence while providing exit mechanisms
Mathematical and Statistical Foundation
The system operates on several statistical market observations:
Volatility Clustering Phenomenon
High volatility periods tend to follow high volatility periods
Low volatility periods tend to follow low volatility periods
By filtering for adequate volatility, we increase the probability of capturing meaningful trends
Trend Magnitude Distribution
Most trends are small to medium in magnitude
Very large trends are rare but account for disproportionate returns
The dynamic stop methodology allows capture of varying trend magnitudes
Autocorrelation in Price Movements
Price movements exhibit short-term positive autocorrelation during trends
This persistence allows trailing stops to capture continued movement
The system leverages this characteristic without requiring explicit autocorrelation calculation
Performance Characteristics and Expectations
Typical System Behavior
Signal Frequency:
Low to moderate signal generation (prevents overtrading)
Signals concentrated during trending market phases
Extended periods without signals during ranging conditions
Risk-Reward Profile:
Win rate typically 40-60% in trending conditions
Average win larger than average loss
Risk-reward ratios of 1:2 to 1:3 achievable
Drawdown Patterns:
Controlled through volatility adjustment
Larger drawdowns during extended ranging periods
Recovery typically follows when trending conditions resume
Comparison with Alternative Approaches
Versus Moving Average Systems:
Less prone to whipsaws during ranging markets
Better adaptation to changing volatility conditions
Clearer exit signals through stop levels
Versus Channel Breakout Systems:
More responsive to emerging trends
Lower false breakout probability
Dynamic risk adjustment rather than fixed parameters
Versus Momentum Oscillator Systems:
Better trend persistence capture
Less susceptible to overbought/oversold false signals
Clearer position management rules
Educational Value and Skill Development
Learning Opportunities
DATR-TS serves as more than just a trading tool—it provides educational value through:
Market Condition Awareness
Teaches traders to distinguish between trending and ranging markets
Develops understanding of volatility's role in trading opportunities
Encourages patience and selectivity in trade execution
Risk Management Discipline
Demonstrates dynamic position sizing principles
Illustrates the importance of adaptive stops

Conclusion: The Modern Trend-Following Paradigm
The Dynamic ATR Trailing System represents a significant evolution in trend-following methodology. By moving beyond simple price pattern recognition or fixed parameter oscillators, it embraces the complex reality of financial markets where volatility, trend persistence, and risk management interact dynamically.
This system doesn't claim to predict market direction or identify tops and bottoms. Instead, it provides a systematic framework for participating in trends when they emerge, managing risk appropriately as conditions change, and preserving capital during unfavorable environments.
For traders seeking a methodology that combines mathematical rigor with practical execution, adapts to changing market conditions rather than fighting against them, and provides clear, actionable information without cognitive overload, DATR-TS offers a sophisticated yet accessible approach to modern trend following.
The true value lies not in any single signal or parameter setting, but in the comprehensive philosophy of volatility-aware, risk-adjusted, conditionally-executed trend participation that the system embodies—a philosophy that aligns with how markets actually behave rather than how we might wish them to behave.
Evil's Two Legged IndicatorA pullback strategy indicator designed for scalping. This attempts to Identify classic 2-leg pullback patterns and filters out signals during choppy market conditions for better signals.
How It Works:
The indicator detects when price forms two pullback legs (swing lows in an uptrend or swing highs in a downtrend) near key support/resistance zones, then signals when reversal confirmation occurs. Equal-level pullbacks (double bottoms/tops) are marked as stronger signals.
Features:
Channel Options: Donchian (default), Linear Regression, or ATR Bands
Configurable EMA: For trend confirmation (default 21)
Adjustable Leg Detection: Swing lookback period for different timeframes
Equal Level Detection: Highlights stronger setups where both legs terminate at similar prices
Three Chop Filters (can be combined):
ADX Filter — suppresses signals when ADX is below threshold (default 25)
EMA Slope Filter — suppresses signals when EMA is flat
Chop Index Filter — suppresses signals when Chop Index indicates ranging conditions
Signal Types:
Standard signals: 2-leg pullback detected with trend confirmation
Strong signals (highlighted): 2-leg pullback with equal highs/lows — higher probability setup
Recommended Use:
Best suited for scalping on 1-5 minute chart. Designed for 1.5:1 risk/reward setups.
Settings Guide:
Increase "Swing Lookback" for fewer, higher-quality signals
Adjust "Equal Level Threshold" to fine-tune what counts as a double bottom/top
Enable/disable chop filters based on your market and timeframe
Use "Show Strong Signals Only" to filter for highest conviction setups

Trend Consensus Engine [TCE]The Trend Consensus Engine (TCE) is a comprehensive market analysis system designed to filter out noise and provide a quantifiable "Trend Score" (0-100). Instead of relying on a single indicator, this script aggregates data from multiple market factors—volatility, momentum, and trend structure—to generate high-probability entry signals based on a consensus logic.
This tool is particularly optimized for Crypto (with specific time-gated logic) and BIST (Borsa Istanbul) markets, allowing traders to see the overall health of the trend at a glance via a dashboard.
How It Works
The engine calculates a composite "Total Score" (0-100) derived from four weighted components:
Trend Structure (AlphaTrend & Guppy):
Analyzes the slope and position relative to the AlphaTrend (Credit to @KivancOzbilgic) and Guppy Multiple Moving Averages (GMMA).
Positive slopes and price action above key levels add points to the score.
Volatility & Momentum (Squeeze & ADX):
Incorporates the Squeeze Momentum logic (Credit to @LazyBear) to detect explosive moves.
ADX Filter: Filters out chopping/ranging markets. If the ADX is too low, the score is penalized or the signal is blocked.
Dynamic Resistance (MA Channels):
Uses a combination of Donchian Mid-Lines and SMAs to determine if the price is in a "safe zone" or hitting resistance.
Price Action Filters (Pinbar Veto):
Automatically detects bearish "Shooting Star" or weak candles at highs. If a bearish pinbar is detected, the entry signal is vetoed regardless of the trend score.
Features & Settings
Smart Scoring Dashboard: Displays the realtime Score, Instant Decision, and confirmed Close Decision on the chart.
Market Profiles:
Crypto Mode: Includes a "Time Gate" feature (07:00 UTC+3 check) to prevent fakeouts during low-liquidity hours.
BIST Mode: Optimized parameters for the Turkish stock market logic (14:00 session checks).
Score Threshold: Users can adjust the minimum score required (Default: 70) to trigger a "BUY" signal.
Visual Guidance: The background of the dashboard changes color (Green/Red/Yellow) based on the consensus.
How to Use
Check the Dashboard: Look at the "SONUÇ" (Result) row.
GİRİŞ ✅ (ENTRY): The Score is above 70, Momentum is positive, and no Bearish Pinbars are present.
BEKLE ⏳ (WAIT): The trend is weak, or a filter (like ADX or Squeeze) is blocking the trade.
Confirm with Price Action: Use the AlphaTrend lines (Blue/Red) as dynamic support/stop-loss levels.

Future Ichimoku Cloud - HorizonIchimoku Horizon is an advanced Ichimoku indicator that projects future cloud formations and component lines, giving traders unprecedented visibility into potential support/resistance zones before they form.
1. Future Ichimoku Projections
Project Ichimoku components forward in time using simulated price evolution based on rolling Tenkan/Kijun windows
Manual forecast periods up to 125 bars (all 4 components) or 500 bars (cloud only)
Smart limit management automatically adjusts to TradingView's drawing object limits while maximizing visible projections
2. Preset & Custom Ichimoku Configurations
Choose from multiple common Ichimoku presets or fully customize your own
3. Multi-Timeframe Display & Projections
Display Ichimoku from higher/lower timeframes directly on your current timeframe chart
Automatic scaling adjusts Ichimoku periods correctly across timeframes
Intelligent handling of 24/7 markets (crypto/forex) vs traditional session-based markets
Built-in detection of problematic timeframe combinations with optional MTF cloud fetching for accuracy
Automatic notifications when future projections are unavailable due to MTF constraints
4. Tenkan & Kijun Range Windows
Visual range windows that display the exact high/low range used for Tenkan and Kijun calculations
Optional High/Low markers placed at the exact bars they occur
Optional countdown labels show how many bars remain until the current High/Low expires from the rolling window
Range windows scale up and down dynamically to match display timeframe
5. Comprehensive Alert Suite
Built-in alerts for all major Ichimoku events: TK crosses, E2E entires, Kumo breakouts, etc.
All alerts are cloud-aware and displacement-correct.
How It Works
The indicator uses the traditional Donchian channel method to calculate Ichimoku components, then extends this logic forward by simulating future price action within the calculation windows (no new highs or lows). This creates a forward-looking projection of where support and resistance zones will form.
The range display feature helps traders understand why the lines are where they are by showing the exact high/low points and countdown timers for when these points will expire from the calculation.
Who This Indicator Is For:
Ichimoku traders who want future-aware context
Multi-timeframe analysts seeking correctly aligned clouds
Traders who want to understand Tenkan/Kijun mechanics
Users who need precision without manual recalculation
Notes:
Maximum 500 drawing objects limit managed automatically
Due to Pinescript/TradingView limitations, future Tenkan/Kijun line width is only modifiable in the source code.
Rating for each momentMoment Score Labels is a Pine v5 overlay indicator that shows momentum “ratings” (0–100) directly on the chart. It prints a vertical score label on every candle (rolling window to avoid label limits) and adds vertical SETUP/ENTRY/EXIT markers for both long and short signals. Signals are based on a weighted mix of trend (MA alignment + slope), momentum (RSI + MACD histogram), breakout (Donchian high/low), and volatility contraction, with an optional Daily regime filter and optional volume/breakout confirmations.
Estrategia Trend Following: 52w/26w BreakoutThis is a classic long-term Trend Following strategy, heavily inspired by the Donchian Channel system and the legendary "Turtle Trading" rules. It is designed to capture major market moves (bull runs) while filtering out short-term market noise and volatility.
This script is ideal for investors and swing traders who prefer a "hands-off" approach, looking to catch large trends rather than day-trading small fluctuations.
How it Works:
1. Entry Condition (The Breakout):
52-Week High: The strategy enters a Long position when the price breaks above the highest high of the last 252 trading days (approx. 1 year).
SuperTrend Filter: An additional filter using the SuperTrend indicator ensures that the breakout is supported by positive momentum, helping to reduce false signals during choppy lateral markets.
2. Exit Condition (The Trailing Stop):
26-Week Low: The strategy ignores short-term corrections. It only closes the position if the price closes below the lowest low of the last 126 trading days (approx. 6 months).
This wide stop allows the trade to "breathe" and stay open during significant pullbacks, ensuring you stay in the trend for as long as possible.
Features & Settings:
Customizable Lookback Periods: You can adjust the Entry (default 252 days) and Exit (default 126 days) periods in the settings menu.
Visual Aids:
Blue Line: Represents the 1-Year High (Entry Threshold).
Red Line: Represents the 6-Month Low (Dynamic Stop Loss).
Channel Shading: Visualizes the trading range between the high and low.
Labels: Clearly marks "BUY" and "EXIT" points on the chart.
Recommended Usage:
Timeframe: Daily (1D). This logic is designed for daily candles.
Assets: Works best on assets with strong trending characteristics (e.g., Bitcoin/Crypto, Tech Stocks, Indices like SPX/NDX, and Commodities).
Patience Required: This strategy generates very few signals. It may stay quiet for months and then hold a position for over a year.
Super momentum DBSISuper momentum DBSI: The Ultimate Guide
1. What is this Indicator?
The Super momentum DBSI is a "Consensus Engine." Instead of relying on a single line (like an RSI) to tell you where the market is going, this tool calculates 33 distinct technical indicators simultaneously for every single candle.
It treats the market like a democracy. It asks 33 mathematical "voters" (Momentum, Trend, Volume, Volatility) if they are Bullish or Bearish.
If 30 out of 33 say "Buy," the score is high (Yellow), and the trend is extremely strong.
If only 15 say "Buy," the score is low (Teal), and the trend is weak or choppy.
2. Visual Guide: How to Read the Numbers
The Scores
Top Number (Bears): Represents Selling Pressure.
Bottom Number (Bulls): Represents Buying Pressure.
The Colors (The Traffic Lights)
The colors are your primary signal. They tell you who is currently winning the war.
🟡 YELLOW (Dominance):
This indicates the Winning Side.
If the Bottom Number is Yellow, Bulls are in control.
If the Top Number is Yellow, Bears are in control.
🔴 RED (Weakness):
This appears on the Top. It means Bears are present but losing.
🔵 TEAL (Weakness):
This appears on the Bottom. It means Bulls are present but losing.
3. Trading Strategy
Scenario A: The "Strong Buy" (Long Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for a shift in momentum where Buyers overwhelm Sellers.
Watch the Bottom Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising (e.g., 12 → 18 → 22).
Check the Top: The Top Number should be Red and low (below 10).
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario B: The "Strong Sell" (Short Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for Sellers to crush the Buyers.
Watch the Top Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising.
Check the Bottom: The Bottom Number should be Teal and low.
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario C: The "No Trade Zone" (Choppy Market)
The Setup: The market is confused.
Visual: Top is Red, Bottom is Teal.
Meaning: NOBODY IS WINNING. There is no Yellow number.
Action: Do not trade. This usually happens during lunch hours, weekends, or right before big news. This filter alone will save you from many false breakouts.

5. Pro Tips for Success
Don't Catch Knives: If the Bear score (Top) is Yellow and 25+, do not try to buy the dip. Wait for the Yellow score to break.
Exit Early: If you are Long and the Yellow Bull score drops from 28 to 15 in one candle, TAKE PROFIT. The momentum has died.
Use Higher Timeframes: This indicator works best on 15m, 1H, and 4H charts. On the 1m chart, it may be too volatile.
20 Day Range High/Low (Turtle Soup)This indicator identifies the Highest High and Lowest Low of the last 20 periods (customizable) and projects horizontal support/resistance lines to the right.
Unlike standard Donchian Channels or other High/Low indicators that clutter the chart with historical "steps" or extend lines infinitely to the left, this script focuses on chart cleanliness.
Key Features:
Pivot-Point Start: The lines do not span the whole chart. They start exactly at the candle where the High or Low occurred.
Right Extension: Lines extend only to the future, providing a clear visual for potential breakouts or support levels.
No Historical Clutter: It does not draw the past movement of the High/Low, keeping your chart clean for price action analysis.
Dynamic: As new Highs or Lows are made, the lines instantly update to the new positions.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: Use the High line as a resistance/breakout level (similar to Turtle Trading strategies).
Stop Loss Placement: The Low line of the last 20 days often acts as a trailing stop location for long-term trends.
Timeframes: While designed for the classic "20-Day" lookback on the Daily chart, this script works on any timeframe (e.g., finding the 20-hour range on a 1H chart).
Settings:
Length: Default is 20 bars. You can change this in the settings to any lookback period you prefer (e.g., 50, 100).
RSI BREAKOUT SIGNALSThis BB + RSI Breakout indicator is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on price movements relative to the Donchian channel (or Bollinger-type channel) and momentum conditions. It calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined length to form a dynamic channel, and then it checks whether the current price breaks above the upper band (for a buy signal) or below the lower band (for a sell signal). To avoid repeated signals in a row, the indicator uses a state system: after a buy signal occurs, it will not generate another buy until a sell occurs, and vice versa. When a buy signal is triggered, it automatically calculates a take-profit price a certain percentage above the buy candle and displays this price below the candle as a “TP” label. Sell signals are displayed above the candle, and any previous TP label is cleared. The indicator updates in real time, so the signals move with the chart, giving a clear and lag-free visualization of entry points and potential profit targets.
Trend Pivot Retracements▶ OVERVIEW
Trend Pivot Retracements identifies market trend direction using a Donchian-style channel and dynamically highlights retracement zones during trending conditions. It calculates the percentage pullbacks from recent highs and lows, plots labeled zones with varying intensity, and visually connects key retracement pivots. The indicator also emphasizes price proximity to trend boundaries by dynamically adjusting the thickness of plotted trend bands.
▶ TREND DETECTION & BAND STRUCTURE
The indicator determines the current trend by checking for new 50-bar extremes:
Uptrend: If a new highest high is made, the trend is considered bullish.
Downtrend: If a new lowest low is made, the trend is considered bearish.
Uptrend Band: Plots the 50-bar lowest low as a trailing support level.
Downtrend Band: Plots the 50-bar highest high as a trailing resistance level.
Thickness Variation: The thickness of the band increases the further price moves from it, indicating overextension.
▶ RETRACEMENT LABELING SYSTEM
During a trend, the indicator monitors pivot points in the opposite direction to measure retracements:
Bullish Retracement:
Triggered when a pivot low forms during an uptrend.
Measures % pullback from the most recent swing high (searched up to 20 bars back).
Plots a bold horizontal line at the low and a dashed diagonal from the previous swing high.
Adds a “-%” label above the low; intensity is based on recent 50 pullbacks.
Bearish Retracement:
Triggered when a pivot high forms during a downtrend.
Measures % pullback from the previous swing low (up to 20 bars back).
Plots a bold horizontal line at the high and a dashed diagonal from the prior swing low.
Adds a “%” label below the high with gradient color based on the past 50 extremes.
▶ PIVOT CONNECTION LINES
Each retracement includes a visual connector:
A diagonal dashed line linking the swing extreme (20 bars back) to the retracement point.
This line visually traces the path of price retreat within the trend.
Helps traders understand where the retracement originated and how steep it was.
▶ TREND SWITCH SIGNALS
When trend direction changes:
A diamond marker is plotted on the new pivot confirming the trend shift.
Green diamonds signal new bullish trends at fresh lows.
Magenta diamonds signal new bearish trends at fresh highs.
▶ COLOR INTENSITY & CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS
To help interpret the magnitude of retracements:
The % labels are color-coded using a gradient scale that references the max of the last 50 pullbacks.
Stronger pullbacks result in deeper color intensity, signaling more significant corrections.
Trend bands also use standard deviation normalization to adjust line thickness based on how far price has moved from the band.
This creates a visual cue for potential exhaustion or volatility extremes.
▶ USAGE
Trend Pivot Retracements is a powerful tool for traders who want to:
Identify trend direction and contextual pullbacks within those trends.
Spot key retracement points that may serve as entry opportunities or reversal signals.
Use visual retracement angles to understand market pressure and trend maturity.
Read dynamic band thickness as an alert for price stretch, potential mean reversion, or breakout setups.
▶ CONCLUSION
Trend Pivot Retracements gives traders a clean, visually expressive way to monitor trending markets, while capturing and labeling meaningful retracements. With adaptive color intensity, diagonal connectors, and smart trend switching, it enhances situational awareness and provides immediate clarity on trend health and pullback strength.

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.

PongExperience PONG! The classic arcade game, now on your charts!
With this indicator, you can finally achieve your lifelong dream of beating the Markets. . . at PONG!
Pong is jam-packed with features! Such as:
2 Paddles
A moving dot
Floating numbers
The idea of a net
This indicator is solely a visualization, it serves simply as an exercise to depict what is capable through PineScript. It can be used to re-skin other indicators or data, but on its own, is not intended as a market indicator.
With that out of the way...
> PONG
The Pong indicator is a recreation of the classic arcade game Pong developed to pit the markets against the cold hard logic of a CPU player.
Given the lack of interaction that is capable, the game is not played in the typical sense, by a player and computer or 2 players.
This version of Pong uses the chart price movements to control the "Market" Paddle, and it is contrasted by a (not AI) "CPU" Paddle, which is controlled by its own set of logic.
> Market Paddle
The Market Paddle is controlled by a data source which can be input by the user.
By default (Auto Mode), the Market Paddle is controlled through a fixed length Donchian channel range, pinning the range high to 100 and range low to 0. As seen below.
This can be altered to use data from different symbols or indicators, and can optionally be smoothed using multiple types of Moving Averages.
In the chart below, you can see how the RSI indicator is imported and smoothed to control the Market Paddle.
Note: The Market Paddle follows the moving average. If not desired, simply set the "Smoothing" input to "NONE".
> CPU Paddle
In simple terms, the CPU Paddle is a handicapped Aimbot.
Its logic is, more or less, "move directly towards the ball's vertical location".
If it were allowed to have full range of the screen, it would be impossible for it to lose a point. Due to this, we must slow it down to "play fair"... as fair as that may be.
The CPU Paddle is allowed to move at a rate specified by a certain Percent of its vertical width. By default, this is set to 2%.
Each update, the CPU Paddle can advance up or down 2% of its vertical width. The directional movement is determined based on the angle of the ball, and it's current position relative to the CPU Paddle's position. Given that it is not a direct follow, it may at times seem more... "human".
When a point is scored, the CPU paddle maintains its position, similar to the original Pong game, the paddles were controlled solely by the raw output of the controllers and did not reset.
> Ball
At the start of each point, the ball begins at the center of the screen and moves in a randomly determined angle at its base speed.
The direction is determined by the player who scored the last point. The loser of the last point "serves" the ball.
Given the circumstances, serving is a gigantic advantage. So the loser serving is just another place where the Market is given an advantage.
The ball's base speed is 1, it will move 1 (horizontal) bar on each update of the script. This speed can "technically" increase to infinity over time, if given the perfect rally. This is due to the hit logic as described below.
Note: The minimum ball speed is also 1.
> Bonk Math
When the ball hits a paddle, essentially 3 outcomes can occur, each resulting in the ball's direction being changed from positive to negative.
Action A: Its angle is doubled, and its speed is doubled.
Action B: Its angle is reversed, and its speed is decreased if it is going faster than base speed.
Action C: Its angle is preserved, and its speed is preserved. "Basic Bounce"
Each paddle is segmented into 3 zones, with the higher and lower tips (20%) of the paddles producing special actions.
The central 60% of each paddle produces a basic bounce. The special actions are determined by the trajectory of the ball and location on the paddle.
> Custom Mode
As stated above, the script loads in "Auto Mode" by default. While this works fine to simply watch the gameplay, the Custom Mode unlocks the ability to visualize countless possibilities of indicators and analyses playing Pong!
In the chart below, we have set up the game to use the NYSE TICK Index as our Market Player. The NYSE TICK Index shows the number of NYSE stocks trading on an uptick minus those on a downtick. Its values fluctuate throughout the day, typically ranging between +1000 and -1000.
Therefore, we have set up Pong to use Ticker USI:TICK and set the Upper Boundary to 1000 and Lower Boundary to -1000. With this method, the paddle is directly controlled by the overall (NYSE) market behaviors.
As seen in a chart earlier, you can also take advantage of the Custom Mode to overlay Pong onto traditional oscillators for use anywhere!
> Styles
This version of Pong comes stocked with 5 colorways to suit your chart vibes!
> Pro Tips & Additional Information
- This game has sound! For the full experience, set alerts for this indicator and a notification sound will play on each hit!*
*Due to server processing, the notification sounds are not precisely played at each hit. :(
- In auto mode, decreasing the length used will give an advantage to the market, as its actions become more sporadic over this window.
- The CPU logic system actually allows the market to have a "technical" edge, since the Market Paddle is not bound to any speed, and is solely controlled by the raw market movements/data input.
- This type of visualization only works on live charts, charts without updates will not see any movement.
- Indicator sources can only be imported from other indicators on the same chart.
- The base screen resolution is 159 bars wide, with the height determined by the boundaries.
- When using a symbol and an outside source, be mindful that the script is attempting to pull the source from the input symbol. Data can appear wonky when not considering the interactions of these inputs.
There are many small interesting details that can't be seen through the description. For example, the mid-line is made from a box. This is because a line object would not appear on top of the box used for the screen. For those keen eye'd coders, feel free to poke around in the source code to make the game truly custom.
Just remember:
The market may never be fair, but now at least it can play Pong!
Enjoy!
LP Sweep / Reclaim & Breakout Grading: Long-onlySignals
1) LP Sweep & Reclaim (mean-reversion entry)
Compute LP bounds from prior-bar window extremes:
lpLL_prev = lowest low of the last N bars (offset 1).
lpHH_prev = highest high of the last N bars (offset 1).
Sweep long trigger: current low dips below lpLL_prev and closes back above it.
Real-time quality grading (A/B/C) for sweep:
Trend filter & slope via EMA(88).
BOS bonus: close > last confirmed swing high.
Body size vs ATR, location above a long EMA, headroom to swing high (penalty if too close), and multi-sweep count bonus.
Sum → score → grade A/B/C; A or B required for sweep entry.
2) Trend Breakout (momentum entry)
Core trigger: close > previous Donchian high (length boLen) + ATR buffer.
Optional filter: close must be above the default EMA.
Breakout grading (A/B/C) in real time combining:
Trend up (price > EMA and EMA rising),
Body/ATR, Gap above breakout level (in ATR),
Volume vs MA,
Upper-wick penalty,
Position-in-Score: headroom to last swing high (penalty if too near) + EMA slope bonus.
Sum → score → A or B required if grading enabled.
Multi-Band Trend LineThis Pine Script creates a versatile technical indicator called "Multi-Band Trend Line" that builds upon the concept of the popular "Follow Line Indicator" by Dreadblitz. While the original Follow Line Indicator uses simple trend detection to place a line at High or Low levels, this enhanced version combines multiple band-based trading strategies with dynamic trend line generation. The indicator supports five different band types and provides more sophisticated buy/sell signals based on price breakouts from various technical analysis bands.
Key Features
Multi-Band Support
The indicator supports five different band types:
- Bollinger Bands: Uses standard deviation to create bands around a moving average
- Keltner Channels: Uses ATR (Average True Range) to create bands around a moving average
- Donchian Channels: Uses the highest high and lowest low over a specified period
- Moving Average Envelopes: Creates bands as a percentage above and below a moving average
- ATR Bands: Uses ATR multiplier to create bands around a moving average
Dynamic Trend Line Generation (Enhanced Follow Line Concept)
- Similar to the Follow Line Indicator, the trend line is placed at High or Low levels based on trend direction
- Key Enhancement: Instead of simple trend detection, this version uses band breakouts to trigger trend changes
- When price breaks above the upper band (bullish signal), the trend line is set to the low (optionally adjusted with ATR) - similar to Follow Line's low placement
- When price breaks below the lower band (bearish signal), the trend line is set to the high (optionally adjusted with ATR) - similar to Follow Line's high placement
- The trend line acts as dynamic support/resistance, following the price action more precisely than the original Follow Line
ATR Filter (Follow Line Enhancement)
- Like the original Follow Line Indicator, an ATR filter can be selected to place the line at a more distance level than the normal mode settled at candles Highs/Lows
- When enabled, it adds/subtracts ATR value to provide more conservative trend line placement
- Helps reduce false signals in volatile markets
- This feature maintains the core philosophy of the Follow Line while adding more precision through band-based triggers
Signal Generation
- Buy Signal: Generated when trend changes from bearish to bullish (trend line starts rising)
- Sell Signal: Generated when trend changes from bullish to bearish (trend line starts falling)
- Signals are displayed as labels on the chart
Visual Elements
- Upper and lower bands are plotted in gray
- Trend line changes color based on direction (green for bullish, red for bearish)
- Background color changes based on trend direction
- Buy/sell signals are marked with labeled shapes
How It Works
Band Calculation: Based on the selected band type, upper and lower boundaries are calculated
Signal Detection: When price closes above the upper band or below the lower band, a breakout signal is generated
Trend Line Update: The trend line is updated based on the breakout direction and previous trend line value
Trend Direction: Determined by comparing current trend line with the previous value
Alert Generation: Buy/sell conditions trigger alerts and visual signals
Use Cases
Enhanced trend following strategies: More precise than basic Follow Line due to band-based triggers
Breakout trading: Multiple band types provide various breakout opportunities
Dynamic support/resistance identification: Combines Follow Line concept with band analysis
Multi-timeframe analysis with different band types: Choose the most suitable band for your timeframe
Reduced false signals: Band confirmation provides better entry/exit points compared to simple trend following
Markov Chain [3D] | FractalystWhat exactly is a Markov Chain?
This indicator uses a Markov Chain model to analyze, quantify, and visualize the transitions between market regimes (Bull, Bear, Neutral) on your chart. It dynamically detects these regimes in real-time, calculates transition probabilities, and displays them as animated 3D spheres and arrows, giving traders intuitive insight into current and future market conditions.
How does a Markov Chain work, and how should I read this spheres-and-arrows diagram?
Think of three weather modes: Sunny, Rainy, Cloudy.
Each sphere is one mode. The loop on a sphere means “stay the same next step” (e.g., Sunny again tomorrow).
The arrows leaving a sphere show where things usually go next if they change (e.g., Sunny moving to Cloudy).
Some paths matter more than others. A more prominent loop means the current mode tends to persist. A more prominent outgoing arrow means a change to that destination is the usual next step.
Direction isn’t symmetric: moving Sunny→Cloudy can behave differently than Cloudy→Sunny.
Now relabel the spheres to markets: Bull, Bear, Neutral.
Spheres: market regimes (uptrend, downtrend, range).
Self‑loop: tendency for the current regime to continue on the next bar.
Arrows: the most common next regime if a switch happens.
How to read: Start at the sphere that matches current bar state. If the loop stands out, expect continuation. If one outgoing path stands out, that switch is the typical next step. Opposite directions can differ (Bear→Neutral doesn’t have to match Neutral→Bear).
What states and transitions are shown?
The three market states visualized are:
Bullish (Bull): Upward or strong-market regime.
Bearish (Bear): Downward or weak-market regime.
Neutral: Sideways or range-bound regime.
Bidirectional animated arrows and probability labels show how likely the market is to move from one regime to another (e.g., Bull → Bear or Neutral → Bull).
How does the regime detection system work?
You can use either built-in price returns (based on adaptive Z-score normalization) or supply three custom indicators (such as volume, oscillators, etc.).
Values are statistically normalized (Z-scored) over a configurable lookback period.
The normalized outputs are classified into Bull, Bear, or Neutral zones.
If using three indicators, their regime signals are averaged and smoothed for robustness.
How are transition probabilities calculated?
On every confirmed bar, the algorithm tracks the sequence of detected market states, then builds a rolling window of transitions.
The code maintains a transition count matrix for all regime pairs (e.g., Bull → Bear).
Transition probabilities are extracted for each possible state change using Laplace smoothing for numerical stability, and frequently updated in real-time.
What is unique about the visualization?
3D animated spheres represent each regime and change visually when active.
Animated, bidirectional arrows reveal transition probabilities and allow you to see both dominant and less likely regime flows.
Particles (moving dots) animate along the arrows, enhancing the perception of regime flow direction and speed.
All elements dynamically update with each new price bar, providing a live market map in an intuitive, engaging format.
Can I use custom indicators for regime classification?
Yes! Enable the "Custom Indicators" switch and select any three chart series as inputs. These will be normalized and combined (each with equal weight), broadening the regime classification beyond just price-based movement.
What does the “Lookback Period” control?
Lookback Period (default: 100) sets how much historical data builds the probability matrix. Shorter periods adapt faster to regime changes but may be noisier. Longer periods are more stable but slower to adapt.
How is this different from a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)?
It sets the window for both regime detection and probability calculations. Lower values make the system more reactive, but potentially noisier. Higher values smooth estimates and make the system more robust.
How is this Markov Chain different from a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)?
Markov Chain (as here): All market regimes (Bull, Bear, Neutral) are directly observable on the chart. The transition matrix is built from actual detected regimes, keeping the model simple and interpretable.
Hidden Markov Model: The actual regimes are unobservable ("hidden") and must be inferred from market output or indicator "emissions" using statistical learning algorithms. HMMs are more complex, can capture more subtle structure, but are harder to visualize and require additional machine learning steps for training.
A standard Markov Chain models transitions between observable states using a simple transition matrix, while a Hidden Markov Model assumes the true states are hidden (latent) and must be inferred from observable “emissions” like price or volume data. In practical terms, a Markov Chain is transparent and easier to implement and interpret; an HMM is more expressive but requires statistical inference to estimate hidden states from data.
Markov Chain: states are observable; you directly count or estimate transition probabilities between visible states. This makes it simpler, faster, and easier to validate and tune.
HMM: states are hidden; you only observe emissions generated by those latent states. Learning involves machine learning/statistical algorithms (commonly Baum–Welch/EM for training and Viterbi for decoding) to infer both the transition dynamics and the most likely hidden state sequence from data.
How does the indicator avoid “repainting” or look-ahead bias?
All regime changes and matrix updates happen only on confirmed (closed) bars, so no future data is leaked, ensuring reliable real-time operation.
Are there practical tuning tips?
Tune the Lookback Period for your asset/timeframe: shorter for fast markets, longer for stability.
Use custom indicators if your asset has unique regime drivers.
Watch for rapid changes in transition probabilities as early warning of a possible regime shift.
Who is this indicator for?
Quants and quantitative researchers exploring probabilistic market modeling, especially those interested in regime-switching dynamics and Markov models.
Programmers and system developers who need a probabilistic regime filter for systematic and algorithmic backtesting:
The Markov Chain indicator is ideally suited for programmatic integration via its bias output (1 = Bull, 0 = Neutral, -1 = Bear).
Although the visualization is engaging, the core output is designed for automated, rules-based workflows—not for discretionary/manual trading decisions.
Developers can connect the indicator’s output directly to their Pine Script logic (using input.source()), allowing rapid and robust backtesting of regime-based strategies.
It acts as a plug-and-play regime filter: simply plug the bias output into your entry/exit logic, and you have a scientifically robust, probabilistically-derived signal for filtering, timing, position sizing, or risk regimes.
The MC's output is intentionally "trinary" (1/0/-1), focusing on clear regime states for unambiguous decision-making in code. If you require nuanced, multi-probability or soft-label state vectors, consider expanding the indicator or stacking it with a probability-weighted logic layer in your scripting.
Because it avoids subjectivity, this approach is optimal for systematic quants, algo developers building backtested, repeatable strategies based on probabilistic regime analysis.
What's the mathematical foundation behind this?
The mathematical foundation behind this Markov Chain indicator—and probabilistic regime detection in finance—draws from two principal models: the (standard) Markov Chain and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM).
How to use this indicator programmatically?
The Markov Chain indicator automatically exports a bias value (+1 for Bullish, -1 for Bearish, 0 for Neutral) as a plot visible in the Data Window. This allows you to integrate its regime signal into your own scripts and strategies for backtesting, automation, or live trading.
Step-by-Step Integration with Pine Script (input.source)
Add the Markov Chain indicator to your chart.
This must be done first, since your custom script will "pull" the bias signal from the indicator's plot.
In your strategy, create an input using input.source()
Example:
//@version=5
strategy("MC Bias Strategy Example")
mcBias = input.source(close, "MC Bias Source")
After saving, go to your script’s settings. For the “MC Bias Source” input, select the plot/output of the Markov Chain indicator (typically its bias plot).
Use the bias in your trading logic
Example (long only on Bull, flat otherwise):
if mcBias == 1
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
else
strategy.close("Long")
For more advanced workflows, combine mcBias with additional filters or trailing stops.
How does this work behind-the-scenes?
TradingView’s input.source() lets you use any plot from another indicator as a real-time, “live” data feed in your own script (source).
The selected bias signal is available to your Pine code as a variable, enabling logical decisions based on regime (trend-following, mean-reversion, etc.).
This enables powerful strategy modularity : decouple regime detection from entry/exit logic, allowing fast experimentation without rewriting core signal code.

This makes it the perfect “indicator backbone” for quantitative and systematic traders who want to prototype, combine, and test new regime detection models—especially in combination with the Markov Chain indicator.
How to use this script with the Markov Chain for research and backtesting:
Add the Enhanced Indicator Export to your chart.
Every calculated indicator is available as an individual data stream.
Connect the indicator(s) you want as custom input(s) to the Markov Chain’s “Custom Indicators” option.
In the Markov Chain indicator’s settings, turn ON the custom indicator mode.
For each of the three custom indicator inputs, select the exported plot from the Enhanced Export script—the menu lists all 45+ signals by name.
This creates a powerful, modular regime-detection engine where you can mix-and-match momentum, trend, volume, or custom combinations for advanced filtering.
Backtest regime logic directly.
Once you’ve connected your chosen indicators, the Markov Chain script performs regime detection (Bull/Neutral/Bear) based on your selected features—not just price returns.
The regime detection is robust, automatically normalized (using Z-score), and outputs bias (1, -1, 0) for plug-and-play integration.
Export the regime bias for programmatic use.
As described above, use input.source() in your Pine Script strategy or system and link the bias output.
You can now filter signals, control trade direction/size, or design pairs-trading that respect true, indicator-driven market regimes.
With this framework, you’re not limited to static or simplistic regime filters. You can rigorously define, test, and refine what “market regime” means for your strategies—using the technical features that matter most to you.
Optimize your signal generation by backtesting across a universe of meaningful indicator blends.
Enhance risk management with objective, real-time regime boundaries.
Accelerate your research: iterate quickly, swap indicator components, and see results with minimal code changes.
Automate multi-asset or pairs-trading by integrating regime context directly into strategy logic.
Add both scripts to your chart, connect your preferred features, and start investigating your best regime-based trades—entirely within the TradingView ecosystem.

What makes this indicator original and unique?
- On‑chart, real‑time Markov. The chain is drawn directly on your chart. You see the current regime, its tendency to stay (self‑loop), and the usual next step (arrows) as bars confirm.
- Source‑agnostic by design. The engine runs on any series you select via input.source() — price, your own oscillator, a composite score, anything you compute in the script.
- Automatic normalization + regime mapping. Different inputs live on different scales. The script standardizes your chosen source and maps it into clear regimes (e.g., Bull / Bear / Neutral) without you micromanaging thresholds each time.
- Rolling, bar‑by‑bar learning. Transition tendencies are computed from a rolling window of confirmed bars. What you see is exactly what the market did in that window.
- Fast experimentation. Switch the source, adjust the window, and the Markov view updates instantly. It’s a rapid way to test ideas and feel regime persistence/switch behavior.
Integrate your own signals (using input.source())
- In settings, choose the Source . This is powered by input.source() .
- Feed it price, an indicator you compute inside the script, or a custom composite series.
- The script will automatically normalize that series and process it through the Markov engine, mapping it to regimes and updating the on‑chart spheres/arrows in real time.

Breakout TrendTiltFolio Breakout Trend indicator
The Breakout Trend indicator is designed to help traders clearly visualize trend direction by combining two complementary techniques: moving averages and Donchian-style breakout logic.
Rather than relying on just one type of signal, this indicator merges short-term and long-term moving averages with breakout levels based on recent highs and lows. The moving averages define the broader trend regime, while the breakout logic pinpoints moments when price confirms directional momentum. This layered approach filters out many false signals while still capturing high-conviction moves.
Yes, these are lagging indicators by design — and that’s the point. Instead of predicting every wiggle, the Breakout Trend waits for confirmation, offering higher signal quality and fewer whipsaws. When the price breaks above a recent high and sits above the long-term moving average, the trend is more likely to persist. That’s when this indicator shines.
While it performs best on higher timeframes (daily/weekly), it's also adaptable to shorter timeframes for intraday traders who value clean, systematic trend signals.
For early signal detection, we recommend pairing this with TiltFolio’s Buying/Selling Proxy, which anticipates pressure buildups—albeit with more noise.
It's easy to read and built for real-world trading discipline.
