Gorb DNAIntroduction:
Gorb DNA is a versatile indicator using classic technical analysis components such as moving averages, stochastic oscillator, and histogram blending call/put flow analysis with our proprietary DNA algorithm. This indicator is designed to provide traders with useful market direction, volume, and momentum change visual cues.
Overview:
The Gorb DNA Indicator isn't just another momentum tool; it's a complex integration of innovative market analysis techniques.
By combining moving averages, stochastic oscillator, with proprietary algorithms, this indicator offers a multi-layered view of market trends, by merging call/put flow analysis with traditional market flow assessment.
This is designed for all kinds of traders, using a simple method to deliver visual changes in flow, volume, and momentum.
Core Features: Call/Put Flow & DNA
Call/Put Flow Analysis: This component examines the strength of market buying and selling pressures. It analyzes call (buying) and put (selling) flows using price range movements, providing insights smoothed over a defined period for analysis of market sentiment.
DNA Algorithm: A central feature of this indicator, the DNA algorithm utilizes a specialized moving average and oscillator technique to discern market trends. It presents an innovative approach, calculating the difference between bullish and bearish indicators to offer a detailed analysis of market momentum.
Visualization and Color Coding: The indicator employs a color-coded system for ease of interpretation, with distinct colors indicating different market conditions: white for upward/bullish movement and purple for downward/bearish movement. This feature translating complex data into a visual format that is simple to understand.
How Call/Put Flow Works:
Moving averages are used with volume and candlestick highs/lows over a specific range to help determine the overall flow. It then plots a colored line area that looks like a colored wave using just two colors to provide traders with a visual of the current market flow. This can help traders identify changes in sentiment with simple color cues.
How DNA Works:
A stochastic oscillator is used to measure the current price level relative to its price over a specific range period to analyze the momentum for the two DNA strands. Additionally moving averages are used to confirm trend and identify any divergences relative to the momentum. This is then plotted as two lines(DNA Strands) following the same color scheme as Call/Put Flow. When momentum is picking up in a specific direction, the lines will change colors and cross each other, this gives a visual of momentum now being fully on one side until it starts to change colors and flip that direction.
Custom Algorithm Elements:
Gorb DNA isn't just common tools combined into one indicator. It includes proprietary algorithmic elements tailored to enhance technical analysis and timing. These are the reasons what set this indicator apart from common momentum, sentiment, and volume methods.
We recommend experimenting with these features to choose what best suits your trading style.

Call/Put Flow & DNA Demonstration
In the image below, we can see a basic illustration of how these core features function.
As stated above, call/put flow carefully monitors changes in moving averages, volume, and price action. If the market sentiment is shifting one direction, the call/put flow will plot those changes. If market is bullish, call flow should rise and put flow should decrease. The same goes for the opposite if the market is bearish.
As is the same for the DNA strands, if markets momentum is becoming bullish, the lines will change color and then cross to signify a change in momentum and the call flow in the background should match this change. This creates two layers of confluence in an easy understandable visual method.
Using Call/Put Flow
In the image below, we disabled everything but call flow to demonstrate usage.
On the left side of the image, you can see call flow matched price increase, then started to decline. This created a flow divergence, identifying a possible change in price action coming. This happened once flow crossed back below the threshold line and price then beginning to move lower. On the right side of the image, you can see call flow rising and price increasing. This is a good confluence showing there is bullish sentiment building in the market.
In this next image, we disabled everything but put flow to demonstrate usage.
The left side shows a put flow divergence. Put flow is slowly rising just like price is, this can help a trader identify a possible shift in sentiment coming. And on the right side, we have put flow rising above the threshold line and price beginning to decrease. Now we have confluence of bearish sentiment building in the market.
The image below shows only call & put flow enabled, to display what the above two images combined look like.
As you can see in the image above, these flow visuals help identify the underlying market sentiment. And when they cross, it leads to a change in price action in the direction of the sentiment over the threshold line.
Using DNA Strands
The image below has just DNA strands enabled to demonstrate usage.
On the left is a box highlighting bearish momentum cross. In the circles is the change in momentum shifting from bullish to bearish. The move gets stronger as the DNA strands get closer to cross over signifying strength in the move. On the right side is a box highlighting a bullish momentum cross. The circles again, show the change from bearish to bullish momentum. Like previously said, the move gets stronger as the DNA strands get closer to crossing over, signifying strength in that direction.
The next image shows call/put flow and DNA strands enabled for a full complete picture.
The circles labeled (1) are showing the change in momentum from bullish to bearish. Circle (2) shows call flow decreasing and put flow rising above calls. Finally the arrow points to the DNA strands crossing over and put flow rising above the threshold line. This is 3 levels of easy visual confluence showing a change in sentiment, volume, and momentum to the downside.
The next image will be showing the bullish side with call/put flow and DNA strands enabled.
The circles that are labeled (1), show the visual change in momentum on the DNA strands from bearish to bullish. Circle (2) is the crossing of call flow over put flow and the arrow points to the DNA strands crossing over and call flow above the threshold line. Three simple to use visual confluences to identify change in sentiment, volume, and momentum to the upside.
Conclusion:
Our goal is to provide a unique, yet simple approach to market sentiment & momentum analysis. It's a tool developed for traders seeking user-friendly and easy to use tools that provide easy visual insights of market dynamics. We believe in simplicity, effectiveness, and creating tools to support decision making for all traders.

Bellcurves (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Bellcurves (Zeiierman) models impulse-driven expansion and contraction in price using a pair of adaptive “Bellcurve” flows (positive/negative), momentum dots, a sensitivity/normalization layer, pre-alerts, decline detection, and a built-in divergence suite. Instead of treating every bar equally, it builds scale-aware impulse fields from a weighted price source, normalizes them into comparable magnitudes, and then highlights impulse clusters, pre-alerts (rising pressure), and impulse declines. These waves behave like impulse envelopes: when expansion persists, columns cluster and momentum dots fire; when pressure fades, decline signals and divergences appear.
Use it to spot the first thrust of a new leg, the final push before exhaustion, or quiet accumulation/distribution within ranges.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
Bellcurves (Zeiierman) combines several adaptive mechanisms into a single, self-tuning framework that captures both momentum expansion and directional decay. Its dual Bellcurve core extracts directional strength through asymmetric smoothers and non-linear amplification, isolating genuine impulses from random volatility. A Quick-Response mode enhances sensitivity in fast markets, while the normalization layer preserves consistency across instruments and timeframes.
█ Main features
⚪ Bellcurves
The Positive and Negative Bellcurves form the foundation of the indicator, visualizing directional expansion in price. Each curve is derived from weighted price dynamics and transformed into an adaptive field that expands with trend acceleration and contracts during exhaustion. Displayed as column waves (or oscillator-style), they reveal the rhythm of market impulses; steady clustering denotes continuation, while isolated bursts or fading peaks hint at potential reversals.
Price Acceleration
Trend Acceleration
Note: To visualize trend acceleration and sustained high-momentum trends, increase the Bellcurve Trend Length parameter to 200. This setting emphasizes long-term directional strength and filters out short-term noise.
Reversals
⚪ Impulse Dots
Impulse Dots mark the first and last bursts within a momentum cluster. Detected through adaptive clustering logic, these dots appear as green (positive) or red (negative) signals that often coincide with early breakouts or terminal exhaustion zones. Traders can interpret the first dot as potential momentum ignition. Alerts are provided for each stage, enabling fast reaction to shifting impulse conditions.
⚪ Divergences
The built-in Divergence Engine automatically identifies regular bullish and bearish divergences between price and the Bellcurves. By analyzing the declining and rising segments of the curves, it detects subtle mismatches between price movements and underlying impulse strength.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Trading
The Bellcurves help visualize the rhythm of market trends through alternating Positive (green) and Negative (red) Bellcurves. These represent periods of directional expansion when momentum builds and contraction when momentum fades.
Tip: To enable the Trend Bellcurves, increase Bellcurve Trend Length to 100–200. To detect regime shifts earlier, consider enabling Quick Response to respond more quickly to emerging trends.
Positive Trend (Green Bellcurve): Indicates bullish control. Sustained green clusters show stable upward participation and consistent buying pressure.
Negative Trend (Red Bellcurve): Indicates bearish control. Sustained red clusters reveal dominant selling pressure and downside continuation.
Trend Transitions
Positive Trend is Strengthening: When the green Bellcurve expands and height increases, momentum is accelerating and bullish conviction is building.
Positive Trend is Weakening: When the green Bellcurve contracts or begins to shrink, upward pressure is fading and potential exhaustion is developing.
Negative Trend is Strengthening: Red columns expand and deepen below the midline, bearish momentum building, and downside pressure increasing.
Negative Trend is Weakening: When the red Bellcurve contracts or softens, it signals that bearish pressure is losing force, a possible early sign of reversal or accumulation.
⚪ Reversal Trading
Reversal trading with the Bellcurves is one of the most effective and visually intuitive strategies, especially when going long after a Negative Bellcurve. These events often occur quickly and sharply, and when combined with key price levels such as the previous day’s close, high, or low, they can provide high-probability entry opportunities.
To focus on only the most meaningful reversals, disable “Activate Sensitive Bellcurves”. This filters out minor impulses and displays only the most significant Bellcurves across the chart, helping you isolate genuine exhaustion or inflection points.
Note: Reversal trading is inherently more challenging due to the increased volatility and emotional intensity (fear and greed) surrounding turning points. Use the Bellcurves as a confirmation tool, not a standalone entry signal. Always consider the broader market context. In strong trending markets, Bellcurve peaks may reflect continued strength rather than reversal.
A Green Positive Bellcurve forming after a fast upward move and rejection from a resistance zone can indicate a potential bearish reversal.
A Red Negative Bellcurve appearing near a support level often acts as confirmation for a potential bullish reversal, suggesting downside exhaustion and renewed buying interest.
⚪ Momentum / Impulse Trading
Momentum (or Impulse) Trading is designed for traders looking to enter in the direction of a strong, ongoing move. The Bellcurves indicator helps identify significant impulses on a higher timeframe, moments where directional pressure expands decisively. Once those impulses are identified, traders can refine entries on a lower timeframe, using an opposite Bellcurve as a trigger signal. This multi-timeframe approach allows for precise entries within larger momentum phases.
Bullish Momentum Trading
Start by analyzing a higher timeframe, for example, the 15-minute chart.
Identify a Positive (Green) Bellcurve and mark the first impulse dot, signaling the beginning of upward momentum.
Drop down to a lower timeframe (such as the 1-minute chart).
Wait for a Negative (Red) Bellcurve to peak; this short-term counter-impulse serves as a pullback entry point.
Enter long as the lower timeframe Bellcurve fades, aligning your trade with the dominant bullish impulse seen on the higher timeframe.
This approach ensures that your long entries occur within an expanding bullish phase, rather than chasing late moves.
Bearish Momentum Trading
Begin on a higher timeframe, such as the 1-hour chart, and locate a Negative (Red) Bellcurve with a visible impulse dot, confirming strong bearish momentum.
Shift to a lower timeframe like the 15-minute chart.
Wait for a Positive (Green) Bellcurve to peak; this short-term upward counter-move acts as a setup for continuation.
Enter short as that green Bellcurve begins to decline, synchronizing with the dominant bearish impulse from the higher timeframe.
This ensures that short trades align with expanding downside momentum, entering at moments of retracement within a broader selling phase.
█ How It Works
⚪ Bellcurve Construction Framework
The indicator generates directional Bellcurves through an adaptive modeling process that measures price displacement and trend curvature over time. Each Bellcurve reflects the evolving balance between expansion and absorption in market flow, forming the characteristic “bell” structures that widen during directional acceleration and compress during consolidation.
Calculation: Employs a multi-layered smoothing and normalization process to enhance directional clarity while preserving overall balance within the signal field.
⚪ Momentum & Cluster Engine
Momentum dots are generated through a multi-stage transformation that identifies the initiation and termination points of impulse clusters. By scanning for statistically relevant minima and maxima within the Bellcurve stream, the system isolates bursts of meaningful directional activity.
Calculation: Applies recursive power mapping and localized clustering to detect temporal impulse boundaries and validate “first” and “last” bursts within each momentum sequence.
⚪ Divergence Module
The divergence framework maps relationships between price structure and Bellcurve dynamics to uncover weakening or strengthening flows beneath visible price action. It detects classical bullish and bearish divergences and projects them directly onto the chart as lines and markers.
Calculation: Uses anchored decline-state tracking, relative high–low comparison, and vector slope analysis to measure phase displacement between price and impulse flow, confirming divergence integrity without lag.

Intraday Alpha Pro - ORB + Trend/MomentumOverview
This is a pure intraday trading strategy designed for active traders seeking to capitalize on short-term price movements using two complementary modules: Opening Range Breakout (ORB) and Trend/Momentum. The strategy operates strictly within a user-defined trading session, automatically flattening all positions at session end to avoid overnight carry. It employs a points-based exit system with a trailing stop that activates only after the target is reached, ensuring disciplined risk management. Optional Martingale position sizing is included for users who prefer aggressive scaling after losses.Key Features Pure Intraday, No Carry: Trades are confined to a user-defined session (default: 9:15 AM–3:25 PM, Monday–Sunday). All positions are closed at session end.
Non-Repainting: Entries are evaluated only on confirmed bar closes (barstate.isconfirmed), ensuring no lookahead or repainting.
Dual Signal Modules: Opening Range Breakout (ORB): Captures breakouts above/below the high/low of a user-defined opening range (default: 9:15 AM–9:30 AM).
Trend/Momentum: Combines EMA (9/21) crossovers, RSI filters, volume confirmation, and an optional 200-period MA trend filter for robust trend-following signals.
Points-Based Exits: Uses fixed stop-loss (slPoints, default 16 points) and take-profit (tpPoints, default 32 points) distances. Once the take-profit level is reached, a trailing stop (trailDistPts, default 10 points) activates, ratcheting monotonically to lock in gains.
Martingale Sizing (Optional): Allows position size increases after losses (up to maxQtyInput) with a reset option after wins.
Cooldown Period: Prevents immediate re-entries after exits using a configurable cooldown (cooldownBars).
Flexible Inputs: Toggle long/short entries, enable/disable ORB or Trend/Momentum modules, and customize all parameters (e.g., MA lengths, RSI thresholds, volume multiplier).
Visuals & Alerts: Plots ORB high/low lines and moving averages (9, 21, 200). Includes alerts for long/short entries and end-of-day flattening.
How It Works Session Management: Trades only within the specified tradeSes (default: 9:15 AM–3:25 PM). The ORB module uses a separate orbSes (default: 9:15 AM–9:30 AM) to calculate breakout levels. Positions are closed automatically at session end.
Entry Conditions: ORB: Long when price closes above the ORB high after the ORB session ends; short when price closes below the ORB low.
Trend/Momentum: Long on fast MA (default EMA 9) crossing above slow MA (default EMA 21), with RSI above rsiBuy (default 55), volume exceeding volMult (default 1.5x prior bar), and price above the 200-period MA (if enabled). Shorts use the inverse.
Exit Logic: Stop-loss is set at entry price ± slPoints.
Take-profit is monitored using a running high/low since entry. Once price moves tpPoints in profit, the stop trails at trailDistPts behind the current price, adjusting only in the favorable direction (never loosening).
Exits use strategy.exit with stop only (no limit orders).
Position Sizing: Default size is baseQtyInput (minimum 1 contract). With useMartingale enabled, size increases by martingaleFactor after a loss, capped at maxQtyInput. If resetOnWin is true, size resets to baseQtyInput after a winning trade.
Cooldown: After an exit, no new trades are allowed for cooldownBars to prevent overtrading.
Futures-Safe Volume: Volume filter accommodates markets with missing or zero volume data (e.g., futures), ensuring signals aren’t blocked unnecessarily.
Inputs Trading Session: tradeSes (e.g., "0915-1525:1234567") and orbSes (e.g., "0915-0930:1234567").
Toggles: enableLong, enableShort, useORB, useTrendMom, useTrendFilter (200-MA).
Trend/Momentum: maType (EMA/SMA), fastLen (9), slowLen (21), trendLen (200), rsiLen (14), rsiBuy (55), rsiSell (45), volMult (1.5).
Exits: slPoints (16), tpPoints (32), trailDistPts (10).
Martingale: useMartingale, baseQtyInput, maxQtyInput, martingaleFactor, resetOnWin.
Cooldown: cooldownBars (1).
Legacy (Ignored): tp1RR, tp2RR, tp3RR, tp1Pct, tp2Pct, tp3Pct, stepTrail for backward compatibility.
Usage Notes Best suited for liquid, intraday markets (e.g., futures like ES, NQ, or forex pairs).
Adjust slPoints, tpPoints, and trailDistPts to match instrument volatility.
Use useMartingale cautiously, as it increases risk after losses.
Ensure tradeSes and orbSes align with your market’s trading hours.
Alerts can be set for long/short entries and EOD flattening.
The strategy avoids lookahead and repainting, ensuring reliability in live trading.
Risk Warning
Trading involves significant risk. Backtest thoroughly and use appropriate risk management. The Martingale option can amplify losses if not carefully monitored. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
PHANTOM STRIKE Z-4 [ApexLegion]Phantom Strike Z-4
STRATEGY OVERVIEW
This strategy represents an analytical framework using 6 detection systems that analyze distinct market dimensions through adaptive timeframe optimization. Each system targets specific market inefficiencies - automated parameter adjustment, market condition filtering, phantom strike pattern detection, SR exit management, order block identification, and volatility-aware risk management - with results processed through a multi-component scoring calculation that determines signal generation and position management decisions.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE PHILOSOPHY
Phantom Strike Z-4 operates through 12 distinct parameter groups encompassing individual settings that allow detailed customization for different trading environments. The strategy employs modular design principles where each analytical component functions independently while contributing to unified decision-making protocols. This architecture enables traders to engage with structured market analysis through intuitive configuration options while the underlying algorithms handle complex computational processes.
The framework approaches certain aspects differently from static trading approaches by implementing real-time parameter adjustment based on timeframe characteristics, market volatility conditions, news event detection, and weekend gap analysis. During low-volatility periods where traditional strategies struggle to generate meaningful returns, Z-4's adaptive systems identify micro-opportunities through formation analysis and systematic patience protocols.
🔍WHY THESE CUSTOM SYSTEMS WERE INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOPED
The strategy approaches certain aspects differently from traditional indicator combinations through systematic development of original analytical approaches:
# 1. Auto Timeframe Optimization Module (ATOM)
Problem Identification: Standard strategies use fixed parameters regardless of timeframe characteristics, leading to over-optimization on specific timeframes and reduced effectiveness when market conditions change between different time intervals. Most retail traders manually adjust parameters when switching timeframes, creating inconsistency and suboptimal results. Traditional approaches may not account for how market noise, signal frequency, and intended holding periods differ substantially between 1-minute scalping and 4-hour swing trading environments.
Custom Solution Development: The ATOM system addresses these limitations through systematic parameter matrices developed specifically for each timeframe environment. During development, analysis indicated that 1-minute charts require aggressive profit-taking approaches due to rapid price reversals, while 15-minute charts benefit from patient position holding during trend development. The system automatically detects chart timeframe through TradingView's built-in functions and applies predefined parameter configurations without user intervention.
Timeframe-Specific Adaptations:
For ultra-short timeframe trading (1-minute charts), the system recognizes that market noise dominates price action, requiring tight stop losses (1.0%) and rapid profit realization (25% at TP1, 35% at TP2, 40% at TP3). Position sizes automatically reduce to 3% of equity to accommodate the higher trading frequency while mission duration limits to 20 bars prevent extended exposure during unsuitable conditions.
Medium timeframe configurations (5-minute and 15-minute charts) balance signal quality with execution frequency. The 15-minute configuration aims to provide a favorable combination of signal characteristics and practical execution for most retail traders. Formation thresholds increase to 2.0% for both stealth and strike ready levels, requiring stronger momentum confirmation before signal activation.
Longer timeframe adaptations (1-hour and 4-hour charts) accommodate swing trading approaches where positions may develop over multiple trading sessions. Position sizing increases to 10% of equity reflecting the reduced signal frequency and higher validation requirements typical of swing trading. Take profit targets extend considerably (TP1: 2.0%, TP2: 4.0%, TP3: 8.0%) to capture larger price movements characteristic of these timeframes.
# 2. Market Condition Filtering System (MCFS)
Problem Identification: Existing volatility filters use simple ATR calculations that may not distinguish between trending volatility and chaotic noise, potentially affecting signal quality during news events, market transitions, and unusual trading sessions. Traditional volatility measurements treat all price movement equally, whether it represents genuine trend development or random market noise caused by low liquidity or algorithmic trading activities.
Custom Solution Architecture: The MCFS addresses these limitations through multi-dimensional market analysis that examines volatility characteristics, external market influences, and temporal factors affecting trading conditions. Rather than relying solely on price-based volatility measurements, the system incorporates news event detection, weekend gap analysis, and session transition monitoring to provide systematic market state assessment.
Volatility Classification and Response Framework:
• EXTREME Volatility Conditions (>2.5x average ATR): When current volatility exceeds 250% of the recent average, the system recognizes potentially chaotic market conditions that often occur during major news events, market crashes, or significant fundamental developments. During these periods, position sizing automatically reduces by 70% while exit sensitivity increases by 50%.
• HIGH Volatility Conditions (1.8-2.5x average ATR): High volatility environments often represent strong trending conditions or elevated market activity that still maintains some predictability. Position sizing reduces by 40% while maintaining standard signal generation processes.
• NORMAL Volatility Conditions (1.2-1.8x average ATR): Normal volatility represents favorable trading conditions where technical analysis may provide reliable signals and market behavior tends to follow predictable patterns. All strategy parameters operate at standard settings.
• LOW Volatility Conditions (0.8-1.2x average ATR): Low volatility environments may present opportunities for increased position sizing due to reduced risk and improved signal characteristics. Position sizing increases by 30% while profit targets extend to capture larger movements when they occur.
• DEAD Volatility Conditions (<0.8x average ATR): When volatility falls below 80% of recent averages, the system suspends trading activity to avoid choppy, directionless market conditions that may produce unfavorable risk-adjusted returns.
# 3. Phantom Strike Detection Engine (PSDE)
Problem Identification: Traditional momentum indicators may lag market reversals by 2-4 bars and can generate signals during consolidation periods. Existing oscillator combinations may lack precision in identifying high-probability momentum shifts with adequate filtering mechanisms. Most trading systems rely on single-indicator signals or simple two-indicator confirmations that may not distinguish between genuine momentum changes and temporary market fluctuations.
Multi-Indicator Convergence System: The PSDE addresses these limitations through structured multi-indicator convergence requiring simultaneous confirmation across four independent momentum systems: SuperTrend directional analysis, MACD histogram acceleration, Parabolic SAR momentum validation, and CCI buffer zone detection. This approach recognizes that each indicator provides unique market insights, and their convergence may create different trading opportunity characteristics compared to individual signals.
Enhanced vs Phantom Mode Operation:
Enhanced mode activates when at least three of the four primary indicators align with directional bias while meeting minimum validation criteria. Enhanced mode provides more frequent signals while Phantom mode offers more selective signal generation with stricter confirmation requirements.
Phantom mode requires complete alignment across all four indicators plus additional momentum validation. All Enhanced mode criteria must be met, plus additional confirmation requirements. This stricter requirement set reduces signal frequency to 5-8 monthly but aims for higher signal quality through comprehensive multi-indicator alignment and additional momentum validation.
# 4. Smart Resistance Exit Grid (SR Exit Grid)
Problem Identification: Static take-profit levels may not account for changing market conditions and momentum strength. Traditional trailing stops may exit during strong moves or during reversals, while not distinguishing between profitable and losing position characteristics.
Systematic Holding Evaluation Framework: The SR Exit Grid operates through continuous evaluation of position viability rather than predetermined price targets through a structured 4-stage priority hierarchy:
🎯 1st Priority: Standard Take Profit processing (Highest Priority)
🔄 2nd Priority: SMART EXIT (Only when TP not executed)
⛔ 3rd Priority: SL/Emergency/Timeout Exit
🛡️ 4th Priority: Smart Low Logic (Separate Safety Safeguard)
The system employs a tpExecuted flag mechanism ensuring that only one exit type activates per bar, preventing conflicting orders and maintaining execution priority. Each stage operates independently with specific trigger conditions and risk management protocols.
Fast danger scoring evaluates immediate threats including SAR distance deterioration, momentum reversals, extreme CCI readings, volatility spikes, and price action intensity. When combined scores exceed specified thresholds (8.0+ danger with <2.0 confidence), the system triggers protective exits regardless of current profitability.
# 5. Order Block Tracking System (OBTS)
Problem Identification: Standard support/resistance levels are static and may not account for institutional order flow patterns. Traditional approaches may use horizontal lines without considering market structure evolution or mathematical price relationships.
Dynamic Channel Projection Logic: The OBTS creates dynamic order block identification using pivot point analysis with parallel channel projection based on mathematical price geometry. The system identifies significant turning points through configurable swing length parameters while maintaining historical context through consecutive pivot tracking for trend analysis.
Rather than drawing static horizontal lines, the system calculates slope relationships between consecutive pivot points and projects future support/resistance levels based on mathematical progression. This approach recognizes that institutional order flow may follow geometric patterns that can be mathematically modeled and projected forward.
# 6. Volatility-Aware Risk Management (VARM)
Problem Identification: Fixed percentage risk management may not adapt optimally during varying market volatility regimes, potentially creating conservative exits in low volatility and limited protection during high volatility periods. Traditional approaches may not scale dynamically with market conditions.
Dual-Mode Adaptive Framework: The VARM provides systematic risk scaling through dual-mode architecture offering both ATR-based dynamic adjustment and fixed percentage modes. Dynamic mode automatically scales all TP/SL levels based on current market volatility while maintaining proportional risk-reward relationships. Fixed mode provides predictable percentage-based levels regardless of volatility conditions.
Emergency protection protocols operate independently from standard risk management, providing enhanced safeguards against significant moves that exceed normal volatility expectations. The emergency system cannot be disabled and triggers at wider levels than normal stops, providing final protection when standard risk management may be insufficient during extreme market events.
## Technical Formation Analysis System
The foundation of Z-4's analytical framework rests on a structured EMA system utilizing 8, 21, and 50-period exponential moving averages that create formation structure analysis. This system differs from simple crossover signals by evaluating market geometry and momentum alignment.
Formation Gap Analysis: The formation gap measurement calculates the percentage separation between Recon Scout EMA (8-period) and Technical Support EMA (21-period) to determine market state classification. When gap percentage falls below the Stealth Mode Threshold (default 1.5%), the market enters consolidation phase requiring enhanced patience. When gap exceeds Strike Ready Threshold (1.5%), conditions become favorable for momentum-based entries.
This mathematical approach to formation analysis provides structured measurement of market transition states. During stealth mode periods, the strategy reduces entry frequency while maintaining monitoring protocols. Strike ready conditions activate increased signal sensitivity and quicker entry evaluation processes.
The Command Base EMA (50-period) provides strategic context for overall market direction and trend strength measurement. Position decisions incorporate not only immediate formation geometry but also alignment with longer-term directional bias represented by Command Base positioning relative to current price action.
🎯CORE SYSTEMS TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
# SuperTrend Foundation Analysis Implementation
SuperTrend calculation provides the directional foundation through volatility-adjusted bands that adapt to current market conditions rather than using fixed parameters. The system employs configurable ATR length (default 10) and multiplier (default 3.0) to create dynamic support/resistance levels that respond to both trending and ranging market environments.
Volatility-Adjusted Band Calculation:
st_atr = ta.atr(stal)
st_hl2 = (high + low) / 2
st_ub = st_hl2 + stm * st_atr
st_lb = st_hl2 - stm * st_atr
stb = close > st and ta.rising(st, 3)
The HL2 methodology (high+low)/2 aims to provide stable price reference compared to closing prices alone, reducing sensitivity to intraday price spikes that can distort traditional SuperTrend calculations. ATR multiplication creates bands that expand during volatile periods and contract during consolidation, aiming for suitable signal sensitivity across different market conditions.
Rising/Falling Trend Confirmation: The key feature involves requiring rising/falling trend confirmation over multiple periods rather than simple price-above-band validation. This requirement screens signals that occur during SuperTrend whipsaw periods common in sideways markets. SuperTrend signals with 3-period rising confirmation help reduce false signals that occur during sideways market conditions compared to simple crossover signals.
Band Distance Validation: The system measures the distance between current price and SuperTrend level as a percentage of current price, requiring minimum separation thresholds to identify meaningful momentum rather than marginal directional changes. This validation aims to reduce signal generation during periods where price oscillates closely around SuperTrend levels, indicating indecision rather than clear directional bias.
# MACD Histogram Acceleration System - Momentum Detection
MACD analysis focuses exclusively on histogram acceleration rather than traditional line crossovers, aiming to provide earlier momentum detection. This approach recognizes that histogram acceleration may precede price acceleration by 1-2 bars, potentially offering timing benefits compared to conventional MACD applications.
Acceleration-Based Signal Generation:
mf = ta.ema(close, mfl)
ms = ta.ema(close, msl)
ml = mf - ms
msg = ta.ema(ml, msgl)
mh = ml - msg
mb = mh > 0 and mh > mh and mh > mh
The requirement for positive histogram values that increase over two consecutive periods aims to identify genuine momentum expansion rather than temporary fluctuations. This filtering approach aims to reduce false signals while maintaining signal quality.
Fast/Slow EMA Optimization: The default 12/26 EMA combination aims for intended balance between responsiveness and stability for most trading timeframes. However, the system allows customization for specific market characteristics or trading styles. Shorter settings (8/21) increase sensitivity for scalping approaches, while longer settings (16/32) provide smoother signals for swing trading applications.
Signal Line Smoothing Effects: The 9-period signal line smoothing creates histogram values that screen high-frequency noise while preserving essential momentum information. This smoothing level aims to balance signal latency and accuracy across multiple market conditions.
# Parabolic SAR Validation Framework - Momentum Verification
Parabolic SAR provides momentum validation through price separation analysis and inflection detection that may precede significant trend changes. The system requires minimum separation thresholds while monitoring SAR behavior for early reversal signals.
Separation-Based Validation:
sar = ta.sar(ss, si, sm)
sarb = close > sar and (close - sar) / close > 0.005
sardp = math.abs(close - sar) / close * 100
sariu = sarm > 0 and sarm < 0 and math.abs(sarmc) > saris
The 0.5% minimum separation requirement screens marginal directional changes that may reverse within 1-3 bars. The 0.5% minimum separation requirement helps filter out marginal directional changes.
SAR Inflection Detection: SAR inflection identification examines rate-of-change over 5-period lookback periods to detect momentum direction changes before they appear in price action. Inflection sensitivity (default 1.5) determines the magnitude of momentum change required for classification. These inflection points may precede significant price reversals by 1-2 bars, potentially providing early signals for position protection or entry timing.
Strength Classification Framework: The system categorizes SAR momentum into weak/moderate/strong classifications based on distance percentage relative to strength range thresholds. Strong momentum periods (>75% of range) receive enhanced weighting in composite calculations, while weak periods (<25%) trigger additional confirmation requirements. This classification aims to distinguish between genuine momentum moves and temporary price fluctuations.
# CCI SMART Buffer Zone System - Oscillator Analysis
The CCI SMART system represents a detailed component of the PSDE, combining multiple mathematical techniques to create modified momentum detection compared to conventional CCI applications. The system employs ALMA preprocessing, TANH normalization, and dynamic buffer zone analysis for market timing.
ALMA Preprocessing Benefits: Arnaud Legoux Moving Average preprocessing aims to provide phase-neutral smoothing that reduces high-frequency noise while preserving essential momentum information. The configurable offset (0.85) and sigma (6.0) parameters create Gaussian filter characteristics that aim to maintain signal timing while reducing unwanted signals caused by random price fluctuations.
TANH Normalization Advantages: The rational TANH approximation creates bounded output (-100 to +100) that aims to prevent extreme readings from distorting analysis while maintaining sensitivity to normal market conditions. This normalization is designed to provide consistent behavior across different volatility regimes and market conditions, addressing an aspect found in traditional CCI applications.
Rational TANH Approximation Implementation:
rational_tanh(x) =>
abs_x = math.abs(x)
if abs_x >= 4.0
x >= 0 ? 1.0 : -1.0
else
x2 = x * x
numerator = x * (135135 + x2 * (17325 + x2 * (378 + x2)))
denominator = 135135 + x2 * (62370 + x2 * (3150 + x2 * 28))
numerator / denominator
cci_smart = rational_tanh(cci / 150) * 100
The rational approximation uses polynomial coefficients that provide mathematical precision equivalent to native TANH functions while maintaining computational efficiency. The 4.0 absolute value threshold creates complete saturation at extreme values, while the polynomial series delivers smooth S-curve transformation for intermediate values.
Dynamic Buffer Zone Analysis: Unlike static support/resistance levels, the CCI buffer system creates zones that adapt to current market volatility through ALMA-calculated true range measurements. Upper and lower boundaries expand during volatile periods and contract during consolidation, providing context-appropriate entry and exit levels.
CCI Buffer System Implementation:
cci = ta.cci(close, ccil)
cci_atr = ta.alma(ta.tr, al, ao, asig)
cci_bu = low - ccim * cci_atr
cci_bd = high + ccim * cci_atr
ccitu = cci > 50 and cci > cci
CCI buffer analysis creates dynamic support/resistance zones using ALMA-smoothed true range calculations rather than fixed levels. Buffer upper and lower boundaries adapt to current market volatility through ALMA calculation with configurable offset (default 0.85) and sigma (default 6.0) parameters.
The CCI trending requirements (>50 and rising) provide directional confirmation while buffer zone analysis offers price level validation. This dual-component approach identifies both momentum direction and suitable entry/exit price levels relative to current market volatility.
# Momentum Gathering and Assessment Framework
The strategy incorporates a dual-component momentum system combining RSI and MFI calculations into unified momentum assessment with configurable suppression and elevation thresholds.
Composite Momentum Calculation:
ri = ta.rsi(close, mgp)
mi = ta.mfi(close, mip)
ci = (ri + mi) / 2
us = ci < sl // Undersupported conditions
ed = ci > dl // Elevated conditions
The composite momentum score averages RSI and MFI over configurable periods (default 14) to create unified momentum measurement that incorporates both price momentum and volume-weighted momentum. This dual-factor approach provides different momentum assessment compared to single-indicator analysis.
Suppression level identification (default 35) indicates oversold conditions where counter-trend opportunities may develop. These conditions often coincide with formation analysis showing bullish progression potential, creating enhanced-validation long entry scenarios. Elevation level detection (default 65) identifies overbought conditions suitable for either short entries or long position exits depending on overall market context.
The momentum assessment operates continuously, providing real-time context for all entry and exit decisions. Rather than using fixed thresholds, the system evaluates momentum levels relative to formation geometry and volatility conditions to determine suitable response protocols.
Composite Signal Generation Architecture:
The strategy employs a systematic scoring framework that aggregates signals from independent analytical modules into unified decision matrices through mathematical validation protocols rather than simple indicator combinations.
Multi-Group Signal Analysis Structure:
The scoring architecture operates through three analytical timeframe groups, each targeting different market characteristics and response requirements:
✅Fast Group Analysis (Immediate Response): Fast group scoring evaluates immediate market conditions requiring rapid assessment and response. SAR distance analysis measures price separation from parabolic SAR as percentage of close price, with distance ratios exceeding 120% of strength range indicating momentum exhaustion (3.0 points). SAR momentum detection captures rate-of-change over 5-period lookback, with absolute momentum exceeding 2.0% indicating notable acceleration or deceleration (1.0 point).
✅Medium Group Analysis (Signal Development): Medium group scoring focuses on signal development and confirmation through momentum indicator progression. Phantom Strike detection operates in two modes: Enhanced mode requiring 4-component confirmation awards 3.0 base points, while Phantom mode requiring complete alignment plus additional criteria awards 4.0 base points.
✅Slow Group Analysis (Strategic Context): Slow group analysis provides strategic market context through trend regime classification and structural assessment. Trend classification scoring awards top points (3.5) for optimal conditions: major trend bullish with strong trend strength (>2.0% EMA spread), 2.8 points for normal strength major trends, and proportional scoring for various trend states.
Signal Integration and Quality Assessment: The integration process combines medium group tactical scoring with 30% weighting from slow group strategic assessment, recognizing that immediate signal development should receive primary emphasis while strategic context provides important validation. Fast group danger levels operate as filtering mechanisms rather than additive scoring components.
Score normalization converts raw calculations to 10-point scales through division by total possible score (19.6) and multiplication by 10. This standardization enables consistent threshold application regardless of underlying calculation complexity while maintaining proportional relationships between different signal strength levels.
Conflict Resolution and Priority Logic:
sc = math.abs(cs_les - cs_ses) < 1.5
hqls = sql and not sc and (cs_les > cs_ses * 1.15)
hqss = sqs and not sc and (cs_ses > cs_les * 1.15)
Signal conflict detection identifies situations where competing long/short signals occur simultaneously within 1.5-point differential. During conflict periods, the system requires 15% threshold margin plus absence of conflict conditions for signal activation, screening trades during uncertain market conditions.
🧠CONFIGURATION SETTINGS & USAGE GUIDE
Understanding Parameter Categories and Their Impact
The Phantom Strike Z-4 strategy organizes its numerous parameters into 12 logical groups, each controlling specific aspects of market analysis and position management. Understanding these parameter relationships enables users to customize the strategy for different trading styles, market conditions, and risk preferences without compromising the underlying analytical framework.
Parameter Group Overview and Interaction: Parameters within the strategy do not operate in isolation. Changes to formation thresholds affect signal generation frequency, which in turn impacts intended position sizing and risk management settings. Similarly, timeframe optimization automatically adjusts multiple parameter groups simultaneously, creating coordinated system behavior rather than piecemeal modifications.
Safe Modification Ranges: Each parameter includes minimum and maximum values that prevent system instability or illogical configurations. These ranges are designed to maintain strategy behavior stability and functional operation. Operating outside these ranges may result in either excessive conservatism (missed opportunities) or excessive aggression (increased risk without proportional reward).
# Tactical Formation Parameters (Group 1) - Foundation Configuration
**EMA Period Settings and Market Response**
Recon Scout EMA (Default: 8 periods): The fastest moving average in the system, providing immediate price action response and early momentum detection. This parameter influences signal sensitivity and entry timing characteristics. Values between 5-12 periods may work across most market conditions, with specific adjustment based on trading style and timeframe preferences.
-Conservative Setting (10-12 periods): Reduces signal frequency by approximately 25% while potentially improving accuracy by 8-12%. Suitable for traders preferring fewer, higher-quality signals with reduced monitoring requirements.
-Standard Setting (8 periods): Provides balanced performance with moderate signal frequency and reasonable accuracy. Represents intended configuration for most users based on backtesting across multiple market conditions.
-Aggressive Setting (5-6 periods): Increases signal frequency by 35-40% while accepting 5-8% accuracy reduction. Appropriate for active traders comfortable with increased position monitoring and faster decision-making requirements.
Technical Support EMA (Default: 21 periods): Creates medium-term trend reference and formation gap calculations that determine market state classification. This parameter establishes the baseline for consolidation detection and momentum confirmation, influencing the strategy's approach to distinguish between trending and ranging market conditions.
Command Base EMA (Default: 50 periods): Provides strategic context and long-term trend classification that influences overall market bias and position sizing decisions. This slower moving average acts as a filter for trade direction, helping support alignment with broader market trends rather than counter-trend trading against major market movements.
**Formation Threshold Configuration**
Stealth Mode Threshold (Default: 1.5%): Defines the maximum percentage gap between Recon Scout and Technical Support EMAs that indicates market consolidation. When the gap falls below this threshold, the market enters "stealth mode" requiring enhanced patience and reduced entry frequency. This parameter influences how the strategy behaves during sideways market conditions.
-Tight Threshold (0.8-1.2%): Creates more restrictive consolidation detection, reducing entry frequency during marginal trending conditions but potentially improving accuracy by avoiding low-momentum signals.
-Standard Threshold (1.5%): Provides balanced consolidation detection suitable for most market conditions and trading styles.
-Loose Threshold (2.0-3.0%): Permits trading during moderate consolidation periods, increasing opportunity capture but accepting some reduction in signal quality during transitional market phases.
-Strike Ready Threshold (Default: 1.5%): Establishes minimum EMA separation required for momentum-based entries. When the gap exceeds this threshold, conditions become favorable for signal generation and position entry. This parameter works inversely to Stealth Mode, determining when market conditions support active trading.
# Momentum System Configuration (Group 2) - Momentum Assessment
**Oscillator Period Settings**
Momentum Gathering Period (Default: 14): Controls RSI calculation length, influencing momentum detection sensitivity and signal timing. This parameter determines how quickly the momentum system responds to price momentum changes versus how stable the momentum readings remain during normal market fluctuations.
-Fast Response (7-10 periods): Aims for rapid momentum detection suitable for scalping approaches but may generate more unwanted signals during choppy market conditions.
-Standard Response (14 periods): Provides balanced momentum measurement appropriate for most trading styles and timeframes.
-Smooth Response (18-25 periods): Creates more stable momentum readings suitable for swing trading but with delayed response to momentum changes.
-Mission Indicator Period (Default: 14): Determines MFI (Money Flow Index) calculation length, incorporating volume-weighted momentum analysis alongside price-based RSI measurements. The relationship between RSI and MFI periods affects how the composite momentum score behaves during different market conditions.
**Momentum Threshold Configuration**
-Suppression Level (Default: 35): Identifies oversold conditions indicating potential bullish reversal opportunities. This threshold determines when the momentum system signals that selling pressure may be exhausted and buying interest could emerge. Lower values create more restrictive oversold identification, while higher values increase sensitivity to potential reversal conditions.
-Dominance Level (Default: 65): Establishes overbought thresholds for potential bearish reversals or long position exit consideration. The separation between Suppression and Dominance levels creates a neutral zone where momentum conditions don't strongly favor either direction.
# Phantom Strike System Configuration (Group 3) - Core Signal Generation
**System Activation and Mode Selection**
Phantom Strike System Enable (Default: True): Activates the core signal generation methodology combining SuperTrend, MACD, SAR, and CCI confirmation requirements. Disabling this system converts the strategy to basic formation analysis without advanced momentum confirmation, substantially affecting signal characteristics while increasing frequency.
Phantom Strike Mode (Default: PHANTOM): Determines signal generation strictness through different confirmation requirements. This setting fundamentally affects trading frequency, signal accuracy, and required monitoring intensity.
ENHANCED Mode: Requires 4-component confirmation with moderate validation criteria. Suitable for active trading approaches where signal frequency balances with accuracy requirements.
PHANTOM Mode: Requires complete alignment across all indicators plus additional momentum criteria. Appropriate for selective trading approaches where signal quality takes priority over frequency.
**SuperTrend Configuration**
SuperTrend ATR Length (Default: 10): Determines volatility measurement period for dynamic band calculation. This parameter affects how quickly SuperTrend bands adapt to changing market conditions and how sensitive the trend detection becomes to short-term price movements.
SuperTrend Multiplier (Default: 3.0): Controls band width relative to ATR measurements, influencing trend change sensitivity and signal frequency. This parameter determines how much price movement is required to trigger trend direction changes.
**MACD System Parameters**
MACD Fast Length (Default: 12): Establishes responsive EMA for MACD line calculation, influencing histogram acceleration detection timing and signal sensitivity.
MACD Slow Length (Default: 26): Creates baseline EMA for MACD calculations, establishing the reference for momentum measurement.
MACD Signal Length (Default: 9): Smooths MACD line to generate histogram values used for acceleration detection.
**Parabolic SAR Settings**
SAR Start (Default: 0.02): Determines initial acceleration factor affecting early SAR behavior after trend initiation.
SAR Increment (Default: 0.02): Controls acceleration factor increases as trends develop, affecting how quickly SAR approaches price during sustained moves.
SAR Maximum (Default: 0.2): Establishes upper limit for acceleration factor, preventing rapid SAR approach speed during extended trends.
**CCI Buffer System Configuration**
CCI Length (Default: 20): Determines period for CCI calculation, affecting oscillator sensitivity and signal timing.
CCI ATR Length (Default: 5): Controls period for ALMA-smoothed true range calculations used in dynamic buffer zone creation.
CCI Multiplier (Default: 1.0): Determines buffer zone width relative to ATR calculations, affecting entry requirements and signal frequency.

Apex Edge - MTF Confluence PanelApex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel
Description:
The Apex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel is a powerful multi-timeframe analysis tool built to streamline trade decision-making by aggregating key confluences across three user-defined timeframes. The panel visually presents the state of five core market signals—Trend, Momentum, Sweep, Structure, and Trap—alongside a unified Score column that summarizes directional bias with clarity.
Traders can customize the number of bullish/bearish conditions required to trigger a score signal, allowing the tool to be tailored for both conservative and aggressive trading styles. This script is designed for those who value a clean, structured, and objective approach to identifying market alignment—whether scalping or swing trading.
How it Works:
Across each of the three selected timeframes, the panel evaluates:
Trend: Based on a user-configurable Hull Moving Average (HMA), the script compares price relative to trend to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral bias.
Momentum: Uses OBV (On-Balance Volume) with volume spike detection to identify bursts of strong buying or selling pressure.
Sweep: Detects potential liquidity grabs by identifying price rejections beyond prior swing highs/lows. A break below a previous low with reversal signals bullish intent (and vice versa for bearish).
Structure: Uses dynamic pivot-based logic to identify market structure breaks (BOS) beyond recent confirmed swing levels.
Trap: Flags potential false moves by measuring RSI overbought/oversold signal clusters combined with minimal price movement—highlighting exhaustion or deceptive breaks.
Score: A weighted consensus of the above components. The number of required confluences to trigger a score (default: 3) can be set by the user via input, offering flexibility in signal sensitivity.
Why It’s Useful for Traders:
Quick Decision-Making: The color-coded panel provides instant visual feedback on whether confluences align across timeframes—ideal for fast-paced environments like scalping or high-volatility news sessions.
Multi-Timeframe Confidence: Helps eliminate guesswork by confirming whether higher and lower timeframe conditions support your trade idea.
Customizability: Adjustable confluence threshold means traders can fine-tune how sensitive the system is—more signals for faster entries, stricter confluence for higher conviction trades.
Built-In Alerts: Automated alerts for score alignment, trap detection, and liquidity sweeps allow traders to stay informed even when away from the screen.
Strategic Edge: Supports directional bias confirmation and trade filtering with logic designed to mimic professional decision-making workflows.
Features:
Clean, real-time confluence table across three user-selected timeframes
Configurable score sensitivity via “Minimum Confluences for Score” input
Cell-based colour coding for at-a-glance trade direction
Built-in alerts for score alignment, traps, and sweep triggers

Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA)Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA)
Overview:
The Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA) helps you spot market trends by combining momentum and volume as a moving average. This unique moving average adjusts itself based on the strength and activity of the market, giving you a clearer picture of what’s happening.
How It Works:
1. Key Settings (all of these are adjustable in the settings panel of the indicator):
◦ Base Length: Looks back over the last 50 days by default.
◦ Momentum Length: Uses the past 14 days to measure market strength.
◦ Volume Length: Uses the past 30 days to average trading volume.
◦ High/Low Thresholds: Considers RSI values above 70 as high momentum and below 30 as low momentum.
2. Momentum and Volume:
◦ Momentum: Calculated using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to see if the market is gaining or losing strength.
◦ Volume: Average trading volume is calculated over the last 30 days to gauge trading activity.
3. VEMMA Calculation:
◦ For each of the past 50 days:
▪ Check Momentum: If RSI > 70, it’s high momentum; if RSI < 30, it’s low.
▪ Weight by Volume: High momentum days with high volume get more weight; low momentum days get less.
▪ Combine: Multiply the closing price by this weight and sum it up.
◦ Average: Divide the total by 50 to get the VEMMA value.
4. Visuals:
◦ Lines: Two lines, VEMMA1 (blue) and VEMMA2 (orange), show the adjusted moving averages.
◦ Colours: Background colors help you quickly spot high (green) and low (red) momentum periods.
How to Use:
• Spot Trends: Rising VEMMA lines suggest an uptrend; falling lines suggest a downtrend.
• Confirm Signals: When both VEMMA1 and VEMMA2 move together, it indicates a strong trend.
• Identify Reversals: Watch for background color changes from green to red or vice versa to catch potential trend reversals.
If the market has been strong and active, the VEMMA line will rise more sharply. If the market is weak and quiet, the line will be smoother.
Benefits:
• Integrated View: Combines market strength and trading activity for a fuller picture.
• Responsive: Adapts to significant market changes, highlighting key movements.
• Easy to Read: Clear visuals with color-coded backgrounds make interpretation simple.
Remember, just like any other indicator, this is not supposed to be used alone. Use it as part of your greater trading strategy. I do however believe it works exceptionally well for finding longer term trends early. The default VEMMA settings work very well as replacement for the EMA 200. Try it and see how it goes. Play around with the settings. Feedback appreciated.
Nasan Rate of Change (ROC)**NOTE: FOR COMPARISON TRADITIONAL ROC IS PLOTTED WITH THE SAME ROC LENGTH OF 9. IT IS NOT PART OF THE INDICATOR"
The Nasan ROC indicator is smoothed version of the of the traditional ROC indicator. The Nasna ROC uses a triple pass moving average differencing strategy. A cumulative sum of the deviations obtained from the moving average differencing provides a smooth "noise free" trend and this cumulative sum of deviations is used for calculating ROC.
Let's break down the components and understand the indicator we discussed earlier:
Sequential Triple Pass Filter:
Three filters with lengths specified by length1, length2, and length3 are applied to the closing prices (close).
The filters involve calculating the cumulative sum of the differences between the closing prices and their respective moving averages.
The idea is to detrend the data and accumulate the deviations from the average over time, emphasizing longer-term trends.
Calculation of Rate of Change (ROC) of Cumulative Sum:
The Rate of Change (ROC) of the cumulative sum (rocCumulativeSum) is calculated using the ta.roc function with a specified length (rocLength).
ROC measures the percentage change in the cumulative sum over a specified period.
The ROC histogram provides insights into the momentum of the detrended series. Positive values suggest increasing momentum, while negative values suggest decreasing momentum.
Pay attention to the color of the histogram bars.
The histogram bars are colored green if the current ROC value is greater than or equal to the previous ROC value, and red otherwise.
This coloring is based on the concept that a positive ROC suggests upward momentum, while a negative ROC suggests downward momentum.
Volatility - Volume Impact:
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated with a period of 14.
Volume strength is calculated as a factor (VCF) that considers the ratio of the simple moving average (SMA) of the current volume to the SMA of the volume over a longer period (144).
This volume factor (VCF) is then multiplied by ATR, creating a synergy with volatility and volume.
Visualization with Background Color Gradient:
A background color gradient is applied to the chart based on the calculated volume strength (f1).
The gradient color ranges from black (indicating low ATR and volume strength) to purple (indicating high ATR and volume strength). A low value indicates a ranging market with no significant price movements and it is safter to avoid signals generated from ROC histogram in these region.
Synergy of ROC and Volume Strength:
Observe how the ROC signals align with the background color gradient. For example, confirm whether positive ROC aligns with periods of high ATR and volume strength.
This synergy can provide confirmation or divergence signals, adding another layer of analysis.
Trend_Trader_WMA (Momentum)<---> Caution! This is first test version of indicator. I am ready to get more ideas+feedback to develop it more. <--->
The "Momentum_Trader_WMA" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market. It combines multiple indicators and moving averages to provide a comprehensive view of price action and momentum.
Key Features:
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): The indicator calculates two different WMAs with user-defined lengths, providing a smoothed representation of price data.
Average True Range (ATR) Bands: ATR is used to calculate dynamic bands around the WMA Average. These bands can help traders gauge market volatility and potential breakout points. The color of the ATR bands can be seen as an early signal of trends or the continuation of current trends.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI): CCI is a momentum oscillator that measures the relative strength of price changes. The indicator calculates CCI values based on a user-defined period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of CCI: An EMA of CCI is plotted to help identify trends and momentum shifts.
Color-Coded Bands: The ATR bands change colors based on CCI conditions, providing visual cues for potential trading opportunities. When ATR bands transition from narrow (indicating low volatility) to wide (indicating increased volatility), it can be seen as an early signal of a potential trend change or the continuation of the current trend.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers of WMAs and CCI thresholds, making it easier for traders to identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Moving Averages: Traders can enable or disable different moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HMA) with various periods and colors to adapt the indicator to their trading preferences.
CCI Dot Alerts: Dots are displayed at the bottom of the chart based on CCI values, helping traders spot extreme CCI conditions.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The WMAs and ATR bands can help identify the current trend direction and its strength. When the WMAs are in an uptrend (green) and the ATR bands widen, it may indicate a strong bullish trend. Conversely, when the WMAs are in a downtrend (red) and the ATR bands narrow, it may suggest a weakening bearish trend.
Momentum Confirmation: The CCI and its EMA provide insights into market momentum. Look for CCI crossovers above 100 for potential bullish momentum and below -100 for potential bearish momentum.
Buy and Sell Signals: Pay attention to the buy and sell signals generated by the indicator. Buy when the WMAs cross over and CCI crosses above 100. Sell when the WMAs cross under and CCI crosses below -100.
ATR Bands as Early Signals: The color changes in the ATR bands can be seen as early signals of trends or the continuation of current trends. Wide ATR bands may indicate increased volatility and potential trend changes, while narrow ATR bands suggest reduced volatility and potential trend continuation.
Moving Averages: Customize the indicator by enabling or disabling specific moving averages according to your preferred trading strategy.
CCI Dots: Use the CCI dots to identify extreme CCI conditions, which may indicate overbought or oversold market conditions.
PS:
Recommended to use Indicator with price action conecpts(eg. support and resistance) as they play important role in any market.
Buy and sell signals are not really accurate. I would personally look for trend shift in WMA middle line and confirmation from CCI dots at bottom. For example. If middle line turns green and within recent 3-4 candles (or next 3-4 candles) dots tunrns green also, that means momentum has been rised in the direction of bulls.
pls, take s/r concepts first when working. I am thinking to add more precise buy sell signal method to make it easier to trade.
Good luck with your trades :)
MOM HEATThe "MOM HEAT" indicator combines MACD, Stochastic, MFI, and RSI to create a heat map of market momentum.
It calculates wave values based on these indicators for four different timeframes.
The wave values are then normalized and combined to determine overall momentum.
The indicator plots squares on the chart to represent the wave values for each timeframe.
It also draws a line to indicate potential momentum shifts.
Additionally, a table displays the timeframes and their corresponding colors (lib kaigouthro/hsvColor/15).
Overall, the indicator provides a visual representation of market momentum and potential shifts.
Gedhusek MomentumSqueezeThis oscillator measures a strength of momentum.
About the indicator:
Unlike the classic momentum indicator, which only measures the distance between two points, this one has a more sophisticated calculation system to better show the reality of the markets. This is reached by including the distance between the highest and lowest point over certain period and an absolute distance of each bar over certain time period. By combining the distance between the highest and lowest price point with an absolute distance into mathematical formula, we get a final value representing the momentum strength.
The next great thing about this oscillator is that its values are relative to the previous ones. Thanks to this, we get a better understanding about the current situation given what has happened in the market before.
General rules:
Value of this indicator ranges from 0 to 100.
If the value is below 50, it means that there is very weak momentum and if the value is above 50, there is strong momentum.
The idea is that these values should oscillate, therefore we can more precisely predict when the momentum is going to increase or decline.
If the current value is below 20, the market has very low momentum and it should increase and if the current value is above 80, there is an extremely high momentum and it should decline.
What is absolute distance and why use it:
Lets say that we have 2 last bars. The first one starts at 100 and closes at 110 and the second one starts at 110 and closes at 105. So the price change would be of 5 points (from 100 to 105). This is not an ideal way because we punish volatile markets with no clear trend.
With an absolute distance, we would deal with given scenario like this. The first bar went from 100 to 110, resulting in distance of 10 points, and the second bar went from 110 to 105, resulting in distance of 5 points. No we add up these distances and we get the absolute distance --> 10+5 = 15
With this type of calculation we get more accurate information about momentum
Inputs:
- Analysis Period - Sets how many bars are going to be used for calculations
RSI(EMA) - Reducing Noise This script is a modified version of the Relative Strength Indicator ( RSI ). While using RSI to trade the markets, the signals generated are very choppy.
Approach 1. One way to reduce this noise is to use a higher period for the RSI calculation. (say 20 instead of 14 period). In this approach, the valid signal comes quite late.
Approach 2. My unique solution is to use a Exponential Moving Average as the input for the RSI calculation. Usually RSI calculations are based on close value of the candles. If we use an appropriate EMA value, then the signal efficiency will increase.
Using the approach 2, strategies similar to regular RSI can be utilized i.e. RSI breakout, RSI divergence, RSI Hidden divergence.
RSI Colors explained
GREEN = BULLISH momentum when RSI >60
RED = BEARISH momentum when RSI <40
BLACK = NEUTRAL market conditions when RSI is between 40 and 60
Breakout Strategy
LONGS - RSI color is GREEN + Price breaks a Resistance
SHORTS - RSI color is RED + Price breaks a Support
Recommended default settings: EMA =7 period , RSI =14 period
ADDITIONAL TIP: Works wonderfully with Pivot Points (standard)
I recommended to use on minimum 5 MINUTE timeframe for intraday trades . But you can use different timeframes as well.

Simplified Market ForecastSimplified Market Forecast Indicator
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Simplified Market Forecast" (SMF) indicator is a streamlined technical analysis tool designed for traders to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on a momentum-based oscillator. By analyzing price movements relative to a defined lookback period, SMF generates clear buy and sell signals when the oscillator crosses customizable threshold levels. This indicator is versatile, suitable for various markets (e.g., forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies), and optimized for daily timeframes, though it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing. Its intuitive design and visual cues make it accessible for both novice and experienced traders.
How It Works
The SMF indicator calculates a momentum oscillator based on the price’s position within a specified range over a user-defined lookback period. It then smooths this value to reduce noise and plots the result as a line in a separate lower pane. Buy and sell signals are generated when the smoothed oscillator crosses above a user-defined buy level or below a user-defined sell level, respectively. These signals are visualized as triangles either on the main chart or in the lower pane, with a table displaying the current ticker and oscillator value for quick reference.
Key Components
Momentum Oscillator: The indicator measures the price’s position relative to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, normalized to a 0–100 scale.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating potential oversold conditions. Sell signals occur when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), suggesting potential overbought conditions.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes customizable horizontal lines for buy and sell levels, shaded zones for clarity, and a table showing the ticker and current oscillator value.
Mathematical Concepts
Oscillator Calculation: The indicator uses the following formula to compute the raw oscillator value:
c1I = close - lowest(low, medLen)
c2I = highest(high, medLen) - lowest(low, medLen)
fastK_I = (c1I / c2I) * 100
The result is smoothed using a 5-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to produce the final oscillator value (inter).
Signal Logic:
A buy signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses above the buy level (ta.crossover(inter, buyLevel)).
A sell signal is triggered when the smoothed oscillator crosses below the sell level (ta.crossunder(inter, sellLevel)).
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses above the buy level (default: 15), indicating a potential oversold condition and a buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue triangle either below the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the bottom of the lower pane.
Sell Signal (White Triangle): Triggered when the oscillator crosses below the sell level (default: 85), indicating a potential overbought condition and a selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white triangle either above the price bar (if plotted on the main chart) or at the top of the lower pane.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit positions when an opposite signal occurs (e.g., exit a buy on a sell signal) or based on additional technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines). Always apply proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The SMF indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe but can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) with careful testing. It performs best in markets with clear momentum shifts, such as trending or range-bound conditions. Traders should:
Backtest the indicator on their chosen asset and timeframe to validate signal reliability.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, support/resistance) or price action for confirmation.
Adjust the lookback period and buy/sell levels to suit market volatility and trading style.
Customization Options
Intermediate Length: Adjust the lookback period for the oscillator calculation (default: 31 bars).
Buy/Sell Levels: Customize the threshold levels for buy (default: 15) and sell (default: 85) signals.
Colors: Modify the colors of the oscillator line, buy/sell signals, and threshold lines.
Signal Display: Toggle whether signals appear on the main chart or in the lower pane.
Visual Aids: The indicator includes dotted horizontal lines at the buy (green) and sell (red) levels, with shaded zones between 0–buy level (green) and sell level–100 (red) for clarity.
Ticker Table: A table in the top-right corner displays the current ticker and oscillator value (in percentage), with customizable colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Simplified Market Forecast" indicator provides a straightforward, momentum-based approach to identifying potential reversals in overbought or oversold markets. Its clear signals, customizable settings, and visual aids make it easy to integrate into various trading strategies. Whether you’re a swing trader or a day trader, SMF offers a reliable tool to enhance decision-making and improve market timing.
Tips for Users
Test the indicator thoroughly on your chosen asset and timeframe to optimize settings.
Use in conjunction with other technical tools for stronger trade confirmation.
Adjust the buy and sell levels based on market conditions (e.g., lower levels for less volatile markets).
Monitor the ticker table for real-time oscillator values to gauge market momentum.
Happy trading with the Simplified Market Forecast indicator!

Hybrid Adaptive Momentum Average (HAMA)Hybrid Adaptive Momentum Average (HAMA)
Imagine you want a moving average line on your chart that's usually smooth but gets really quick to follow the price when the market suddenly makes a big, fast move. That's what HAMA tries to be.
Here's the simple breakdown:
Slightly Better Starting Price: Instead of just using the closing price, HAMA first creates a slightly "smarter" starting price by giving a bit more importance to the very latest prices (like a quick WMA).
Checks Market Speed (Momentum): It then looks at how fast this "smarter price" has been moving recently.
-If the price is shooting up or down quickly, HAMA knows there's strong momentum.
-If the price is just drifting sideways, momentum is low.
Adjusts Its Own Speed: Based on this momentum:
-Strong Momentum (Fast Market): HAMA makes itself "faster." This means its line will stick closer to the current price and react quickly to changes. (It uses a shorter "period" internally).
-Weak Momentum (Slow/Choppy Market): HAMA makes itself "slower." Its line will be smoother and less jumpy, ignoring minor wiggles. (It uses a longer "period" internally).
-Draws the Line: Finally, it calculates and draws the moving average line using this automatically adjusted speed.
Why "Hybrid"?
It's called "hybrid" because it takes bits and pieces of ideas from several standard moving averages:
-Like an EMA, it's built to be responsive.
-Like a WMA, it initially focuses on recent prices.
-Inspired by the HMA, it tries to be smart about detecting momentum to adjust itself.
In a Nutshell:
The HAMA is a custom moving average that tries to be the best of both worlds: smooth in calm markets and quick to react in fast-moving markets by automatically changing its own calculation speed based on price momentum.
PhenLabs - Market Fluid Dynamics📊 Market Fluid Dynamics -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen indicator is a new thinking regarding market analysis by modeling price action, volume, and volatility using a fluid system. It attempts to offer traders control over more profound market forces, such as momentum (speed), resistance (thickness), and buying/selling pressure. By visualizing such dynamics, the script allows the traders to decide on the prevailing market flow, its power, likely continuations, and zones of calmness and chaos, and thereby allows improved decision-making.
This measure avoids the usual difficulty of reconciling multiple, often contradictory, market indications by including them within a single overarching model. It moves beyond traditional binary indicators by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior, employing fluid dynamic analogs to describe complex interactions in an accessible manner.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Integrated Fluid Dynamics Model: Combines velocity, viscosity, pressure, and turbulence into a single indicator.
Normalized Metrics: Uses ATR and other normalization techniques for consistent readings across different assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Flow Visualization: Main flow line changes color and intensity based on direction and strength.
Turbulence Background: Visually represents market stability with a gradient background, from calm to turbulent.
Comprehensive Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance summary of key fluid dynamic metrics.
Multi-Layer Smoothing: Employs several layers of EMA smoothing for a clearer, more responsive main flow line.
🔧 Core Components
Velocity Component: Measures price momentum (first derivative of price), normalized by ATR. It indicates the speed and direction of price changes.
Viscosity Component: Represents market resistance to price changes, derived from ATR relative to its historical average. Higher viscosity suggests it’s harder for prices to move.
Pressure Component: Quantifies the force created by volume and price range (close - open), normalized by ATR. It reflects buying or selling pressure.
Turbulence Detection: Calculates a Reynolds number equivalent to identify market stability, ranging from laminar (stable) to turbulent (chaotic).
Main Flow Indicator: Combines the above components, applying sensitivity and smoothing, to generate a primary signal of market direction and strength.
🔥 Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Algorithm: Utilizes multiple EMA layers on the raw flow calculation for a fluid and responsive main flow line, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity.
Gradient Flow Coloring: The main flow line dynamically changes color from light to deep blue for bullish flow and light to deep red for bearish flow, with intensity reflecting flow strength. This provides an immediate visual cue of market sentiment and momentum.
Turbulence Level Background: The chart background changes color based on calculated turbulence (from calm gray to vibrant orange), offering an intuitive understanding of market stability and potential for erratic price action.
Informative Dashboard: A customizable on-screen table displays critical metrics like Flow State, Flow Strength, Market Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure Force, Flow Acceleration, and Flow Continuity, allowing traders to quickly assess current market conditions.
Configurable Lookback and Sensitivity: Users can adjust the base lookback period for calculations and the sensitivity of the flow to viscosity, tailoring the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
Alert Conditions: Pre-defined alerts for flow direction changes (positive/negative crossover of zero line) and detection of high turbulence states.
🎨 Visualization
Main Flow Line: A smoothed line plotted below the main chart, colored blue for bullish flow and red for bearish flow. The intensity of the color (light to dark) indicates the strength of the flow. This line crossing the zero line can signal a change in market direction.
Zero Line: A dotted horizontal line at the zero level, serving as a baseline to gauge whether the market flow is positive (bullish) or negative (bearish).
Turbulence Background: The indicator pane’s background color changes based on the calculated turbulence level. A calm, almost transparent gray indicates low turbulence (laminar flow), while a more vibrant, semi-transparent orange signifies high turbulence. This helps traders visually assess market stability.
Dashboard Table: An optional table displayed on the chart, showing key metrics like ‘Flow State’, ‘Flow Strength’, ‘Market Viscosity’, ‘Turbulence’, ‘Pressure Force’, ‘Flow Acceleration’, and ‘Flow Continuity’ with their current values and qualitative descriptions (e.g., ‘Bullish Flow’, ‘Laminar (Stable)’).
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Show Dashboard - Default: true; Range: true/false; Description: Toggles the visibility of the Market Fluid Dynamics dashboard on the chart. Enable to see key metrics at a glance.
Base Lookback Period - Default: 14; Range: 5 - (no upper limit, practical limits apply); Description: Sets the primary lookback period for core calculations like velocity, ATR, and volume SMA. Shorter periods make the indicator more sensitive to recent price action, while longer periods provide a smoother, slower signal.
Flow Sensitivity - Default: 0.5; Range: 0.1 - 1.0 (step 0.1); Description: Adjusts how much the market viscosity dampens the raw flow. A lower value means viscosity has less impact (flow is more sensitive to raw velocity/pressure), while a higher value means viscosity has a greater dampening effect.
Flow Smoothing - Default: 5; Range: 1 - 20; Description: Controls the length of the EMA smoothing applied to the main flow line. Higher values result in a smoother flow line but with more lag; lower values make it more responsive but potentially noisier.
Dashboard Position - Default: ‘Top Right’; Range: ‘Top Right’, ‘Top Left’, ‘Bottom Right’, ‘Bottom Left’, ‘Middle Right’, ‘Middle Left’; Description: Determines the placement of the dashboard on the chart.
Header Size - Default: ‘Normal’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’, ‘Huge’; Description: Sets the text size for the dashboard header.
Values Size - Default: ‘Small’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’; Description: Sets the text size for the metric values in the dashboard.
✅ Best Use Cases
Trend Identification: Identifying the dominant market flow (bullish or bearish) and its strength to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Momentum Confirmation: Using the flow strength and acceleration to confirm the conviction behind price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Utilizing the turbulence metric to gauge market stability, helping to adjust position sizing or avoid choppy conditions.
Reversal Spotting: Watching for divergences between price and flow, or crossovers of the main flow line above/below the zero line, as potential reversal signals, especially when combined with changes in pressure or viscosity.
Swing Trading: Leveraging the smoothed flow line to capture medium-term market swings, entering when flow aligns with the desired trade direction and exiting when flow weakens or reverses.
Intraday Scalping: Using shorter lookback periods and higher sensitivity to identify quick shifts in flow and turbulence for short-term trading opportunities, particularly in liquid markets.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like many indicators based on moving averages and lookback periods, the main flow line can lag behind rapid price changes, potentially leading to delayed signals.
Whipsaws in Ranging Markets: During periods of low volatility or sideways price action (high viscosity, low flow strength), the indicator might produce frequent buy/sell signals (whipsaws) as the flow oscillates around the zero line.
Not a Standalone System: While comprehensive, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, other indicators) and not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
Subjectivity in Interpretation: While the dashboard provides quantitative values, the interpretation of “strong” flow, “high” turbulence, or “significant” acceleration can still have a subjective element depending on the trader’s strategy and risk tolerance.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Fluid Dynamics Analogy: Its core strength lies in translating complex market interactions into an intuitive fluid dynamics framework, making concepts like momentum, resistance, and pressure easier to visualize and understand.
Market View: Instead of focusing on a single aspect (like just momentum or just volatility), it integrates multiple factors (velocity, viscosity, pressure, turbulence) to provide a more comprehensive picture of market conditions.
Adaptive Visualization: The dynamic coloring of the flow line and the turbulence background provide immediate, adaptive visual feedback that changes with market conditions.
🔬 How It Works
Price Velocity Calculation: The indicator first calculates price velocity by measuring the rate of change of the closing price over a given ‘lookback’ period. The raw velocity is then normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of the same lookback period. Normalization enables comparison of momentum between assets or timeframes by scaling for volatility. This is the direction and speed of initial price movement.
Viscosity Calculation: Market ‘viscosity’ or resistance to price movement is determined by looking at the current ATR relative to its longer-term average (SMA of ATR over lookback * 2). The further the current ATR is above its average, the lower the viscosity (less resistance to price movement), and vice-versa. The script inverts this relationship and bounds it so that rising viscosity means more resistance.
Pressure Force Measurement: A ‘pressure’ variable is calculated as a function of the ratio of current volume to its simple moving average, multiplied by the price range (close - open) and normalized by ATR. This is designed to measure the force behind price movement created by volume and intraday price thrusts. This pressure is smoothed by an EMA.
Turbulence State Evaluation: A equivalent ‘Reynolds number’ is calculated by dividing the absolute normalized velocity by the viscosity. This is the proclivity of the market to move in a chaotic or orderly fashion. This ‘reynoldsValue’ is smoothed with an EMA to get the ‘turbulenceState’, which indicates if the market is laminar (stable), transitional, or turbulent.
Main Flow Derivation: The ‘rawFlow’ is calculated by taking the normalized velocity, dampening its impact based on the ‘viscosity’ and user-input ‘sensitivity’, and orienting it by the sign of the smoothed ‘pressureSmooth’. The ‘rawFlow’ is then put through multiple layers of exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing (with ‘smoothingLength’ and derived values) to reach the final ‘mainFlow’ line. The extensive smoothing is designed to give a smooth and clear visualization of the overall market direction and magnitude.
Dashboard Metrics Compilation: Additional metrics like flow acceleration (derivative of mainFlow), and flow continuity (correlation between close and volume) are calculated. All primary components (Flow State, Strength, Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure, Acceleration, Continuity) are then presented in a user-configurable dashboard for ease of monitoring.
💡 Note:
The “Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen” indicator is designed to offer a unique perspective on market behavior by applying principles from fluid dynamics. It’s most effective when used to understand the underlying forces driving price rather than as a direct buy/sell signal generator in isolation. Experiment with the settings, particularly the ‘Base Lookback Period’, ‘Flow Sensitivity’, and ‘Flow Smoothing’, to find what best suits your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing. Always combine its insights with robust risk management practices.

Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is a Pine version 6 extension of the basic Fisher Transform indicator that focuses on highlighting potential turning points in price data. Its purpose is to allow traders to spot shifts in momentum, detect divergence, and adapt signals to different market environments. By combining a core Fisher Transform with additional signal processing, divergence detection, and customizable aggressiveness settings, this script aims to help users see when a price move might be losing momentum or gaining strength.
2. Overview
This script uses a Fisher Transform calculation on the average of each bar’s high and low (hl2). The Fisher Transform is designed to amplify price extremes by mapping data into a different scale, making potential reversals more visible than they might be with standard oscillators. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse takes this concept further by integrating a signal line, divergence detection, bar coloring for momentum intensity, and optional thresholds to reduce unwanted noise.
3. Why Use the Fisher Transform
The Fisher Transform is known for converting relatively smoothed price data into a more pronounced scale. This transformation highlights where markets may be overextended. In many cases, standard oscillators move gently, and traders can miss subtle hints that a reversal might be approaching. The Fisher Transform’s mathematical approach tightens the range of values and sharpens the highs and lows. This behavior can allow traders to see clearer peaks and troughs in momentum. Because it is often quite responsive, it can help anticipate areas where price might change direction, especially when compared to simpler moving averages or traditional oscillators. The result is a more evident signal of possible overbought or oversold conditions.
4. How This Extension Improves on the Basic Fisher Transform
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse adds multiple features to the classic Fisher framework in order to address different trading styles and market behaviors:
a) Divergence Detection
The script can detect bullish or bearish divergences between price and the oscillator over a chosen lookback period, helping traders anticipate shifts in market direction.
b) Bar Coloring
When momentum exceeds a certain threshold (default 3), bars can be colored to highlight surges of buying or selling pressure. This quick visual reference can assist in spotting periods of heightened activity. After a bar color like this, usually, there is a quick correction as seen in the image below.
c) Signal Aggressiveness Levels
Users can choose between conservative, moderate, or aggressive signal thresholds. This allows them to tune how quickly the indicator flags potential entries or exits. Aggressive settings might suit scalpers who need rapid signals, while conservative settings may benefit swing traders preferring fewer, more robust indications.
d) Minimum Movement Filter
A configurable filter can be set to ensure that the Fisher line and its signal have a sufficient gap before triggering a buy or sell signal. This step is useful for traders seeking to minimize signals during choppy or sideways markets. This can be used to eliminate noise as well.
By combining all these elements into one package, the indicator attempts to offer a comprehensive toolkit for those who appreciate the Fisher Transform’s clarity but also desire more versatility.
5. Core Components
a) Fisher Transform
The script calculates a Fisher value using normalized price over a configurable length, highlighting potential peaks and troughs.
b) Signal Line
The Fisher line is smoothed using a short Simple Moving Average. Crossovers and crossunders are one of the key ways this indicator attempts to confirm momentum shifts.
c) Divergence Logic
The script looks back over a set number of bars to compare current highs and lows of both price and the Fisher oscillator. When price and the oscillator move in opposing directions, a divergence may occur, suggesting a possible upcoming reversal or weakening trend.
d) Thresholds for Overbought and Oversold
Horizontal lines are drawn at user-chosen overbought and oversold levels. These lines help traders see when momentum readings reach particular extremes, which can be especially relevant when combined with crossovers in that region.
e) Intensity Filter and Bar Coloring
If the magnitude of the change in the Fisher Transform meets or exceeds a specified threshold, bars are recolored. This provides a visual cue for significant momentum changes.
6. User Inputs
a) length
Defines how many bars the script looks back to compute the highest high and lowest low for the Fisher Transform. A smaller length reacts more quickly but can be noisier, while a larger length smooths out the indicator at the cost of responsiveness.
b) signal aggressiveness
Adjusts the buy and sell thresholds for conservative, moderate, and aggressive trading styles. This can be key in matching the indicator to personal risk preferences or varying market conditions. Conservative will give you less signals and aggressive will give you more signals.
c) minimum movement filter
Specifies how far apart the Fisher line and its signal line must be before generating a valid crossover signal.
d) divergence lookback
Controls how many bars are examined when determining if price and the oscillator are diverging. A larger setting might generate fewer signals, while a smaller one can provide more frequent alerts.
e) intensity threshold
Determines how large a change in the Fisher value must be for the indicator to recolor bars. Strong momentum surges become more noticeable.
f) overbought level and oversold level
Lets users define where they consider market conditions to be stretched on the upside or downside.
7. Calculation Process
a) Price Input
The script uses the midpoint of each bar’s high and low, sometimes referred to as hl2.
hl2 = (high + low) / 2
b) Range Normalization
Determine the maximum (maxHigh) and minimum (minLow) values over a user-defined lookback period (length).
Scale the hl2 value so it roughly fits between -1 and +1:
value = 2 * ((hl2 - minLow) / (maxHigh - minLow) - 0.5)
This step highlights the bar’s current position relative to its recent highs and lows.
c) Fisher Calculation
Convert the normalized value into the Fisher Transform:
fisher = 0.5 * ln( (1 + value) / (1 - value) ) + 0.5 * fisher_previous
fisher_previous is simply the Fisher value from the previous bar. Averaging half of the new transform with half of the old value smooths the result slightly and can prevent erratic jumps.
ln is the natural logarithm function, which compresses or expands values so that market turns often become more obvious.
d) Signal Smoothing
Once the Fisher value is computed, a short Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to produce a signal line. In code form, this often looks like:
signal = sma(fisher, 3)
Crossovers of the fisher line versus the signal line can be used to hint at changes in momentum:
• A crossover occurs when fisher moves from below to above the signal.
• A crossunder occurs when fisher moves from above to below the signal.
e) Threshold Checking
Users typically define oversold and overbought levels (often -1 and +1).
Depending on aggressiveness settings (conservative, moderate, aggressive), these thresholds are slightly shifted to filter out or include more signals.
For example, an oversold threshold of -1 might be used in a moderate setting, whereas -1.5 could be used in a conservative setting to require a deeper dip before triggering.
f) Divergence Checks
The script looks back a specified number of bars (divergenceLookback). For both price and the fisher line, it identifies:
• priceHigh = the highest hl2 within the lookback
• priceLow = the lowest hl2 within the lookback
• fisherHigh = the highest fisher value within the lookback
• fisherLow = the lowest fisher value within the lookback
If price forms a lower low while fisher forms a higher low, it can signal a bullish divergence. Conversely, if price forms a higher high while fisher forms a lower high, a bearish divergence might be indicated.
g) Bar Coloring
The script monitors the absolute change in Fisher values from one bar to the next (sometimes called fisherChange):
fisherChange = abs(fisher - fisher )
If fisherChange exceeds a user-defined intensityThreshold, bars are recolored to highlight a surge of momentum. Aqua might indicate a strong bullish surge, while purple might indicate a strong bearish surge.
This color-coding provides a quick visual cue for traders looking to spot large momentum swings without constantly monitoring indicator values.
8. Signal Generation and Filtering
Buy and sell signals occur when the Fisher line crosses the signal line in regions defined as oversold or overbought. The optional minimum movement filter prevents triggering if Fisher and its signal line are too close, reducing the chance of small, inconsequential price fluctuations creating frequent signals. Divergences that appear in oversold or overbought regions can serve as additional evidence that momentum might soon shift.
9. Visualization on the Chart
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse plots two lines: the Fisher line in one color and the signal line in a contrasting shade. The chart displays horizontal dashed lines where the overbought and oversold levels lie. When the Fisher Transform experiences a sharp jump or drop above the intensity threshold, the corresponding price bars may change color, signaling that momentum has undergone a noticeable shift. If the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence, dotted lines are drawn on the oscillator portion to connect the relevant points.
10. Market Adaptability
Because of the different aggressiveness levels and the optional minimum movement filter, Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse can be tailored to multiple trading styles. For instance, a short-term scalper might select a smaller length and more aggressive thresholds, while a swing trader might choose a longer length for smoother readings, along with conservative thresholds to ensure fewer but potentially stronger signals. During strongly trending markets, users might rely more on divergences or large intensity changes, whereas in a range-bound market, oversold or overbought conditions may be more frequent.
11. Risk Management Considerations
Indicators alone do not ensure favorable outcomes, and relying solely on any one signal can be risky. Using a stop-loss or other protections is often suggested, especially in fast-moving or unpredictable markets. Divergence can appear before a market reversal actually starts. Similarly, a Fisher Transform can remain in an overbought or oversold region for extended periods, especially if the trend is strong. Cautious interpretation and confirmation with additional methods or chart analysis can help refine entry and exit decisions.
12. Combining with Other Tools
Traders can potentially strengthen signals from Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse by checking them against other methods. If a moving average cross or a price pattern aligns with a Fisher crossover, the combined evidence might provide more certainty. Volume analysis may confirm whether a shift in market direction has participation from a broad set of traders. Support and resistance zones could reinforce overbought or oversold signals, particularly if price reaches a historical boundary at the same time the oscillator indicates a possible reversal.
13. Parameter Customization and Examples
Some short-term traders run a 15-minute chart, with a shorter length setting, aggressively tight oversold and overbought thresholds, and a smaller divergence lookback. This approach produces more frequent signals, which may appeal to those who enjoy fast-paced trading. More conservative traders might apply the indicator to a daily chart, using a larger length, moderate threshold levels, and a bigger divergence lookback to focus on broader market swings. Results can differ, so it may be helpful to conduct thorough historical testing to see which combination of parameters aligns best with specific goals.
14. Realistic Expectations
While the Fisher Transform can reveal potential turning points, no mathematical tool can predict future price behavior with full certainty. Markets can behave erratically, and a period of strong trending may see the oscillator pinned in an extreme zone without a significant reversal. Divergence signals sometimes appear well before an actual trend change occurs. Recognizing these limitations helps traders manage risk and avoids overreliance on any one aspect of the script’s output.
15. Theoretical Background
The Fisher Transform uses a logarithmic formula to map a normalized input, typically ranging between -1 and +1, into a scale that can fluctuate around values like -3 to +3. Because the transformation exaggerates higher and lower readings, it becomes easier to spot when the market might have stretched too far, too fast. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse builds on that foundation by adding a series of practical tools that help confirm or refine those signals.
16. Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is not simply a duplicate of the basic Fisher Transform. It enhances the original design in several ways, including built-in divergence detection, bar-color triggers for momentum surges, thresholds for overbought and oversold levels, and customizable signal aggressiveness. By unifying these concepts, the script seeks to reduce noise and highlight meaningful shifts in market direction. It also places greater emphasis on helping traders adapt the indicator to their specific style—whether that involves frequent intraday signals or fewer, more robust alerts over longer timeframes.
17. Summary
Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is an expanded take on the original Fisher Transform oscillator, including divergence detection, bar coloring based on momentum strength, and flexible signal thresholds. By adjusting parameters like length, aggressiveness, and intensity thresholds, traders can configure the script for day-trading, swing trading, or position trading. The indicator endeavors to highlight where price might be shifting direction, but it should still be combined with robust risk management and other analytical methods. Doing so can lead to a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
18. Disclaimer
No indicator or script can guarantee profitable outcomes in trading. Past performance does not necessarily suggest future results. Uptrick: Fisher Eclipse is provided for educational and informational purposes. Users should apply their own judgment and may want to confirm signals with other tools and methods. Deciding to open or close a position remains a personal choice based on each individual’s circumstances and risk tolerance.

Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI)Introducing the Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI)
With over two decades of experience, I've found that no single indicator can consistently predict market movements. The key lies in combining multiple indicators to capture different market dimensions—trend, momentum, and volume. With this in mind, I present the Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI), a comprehensive tool designed to spot emerging uptrends and downtrends in cryptocurrency and other asset markets.
1. Overview of TSMI
The TSMI amalgamates three critical market aspects:
Trend Direction and Strength: Utilizing Moving Averages (MA) and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Momentum: Incorporating the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
Volume Confirmation: Employing the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator.
By combining these elements, TSMI aims to provide a robust signal that not only indicates the direction of the trend but also confirms its strength and sustainability through momentum and volume analysis.
2. Components and Calculations
A. Trend Component
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
50-day EMA: Captures the short to medium-term trend.
200-day EMA: Reflects the long-term trend.
Average Directional Index (ADX):
Measures the strength of the trend regardless of its direction.
A value above 25 indicates a strong trend, while below 20 suggests a weak or non-trending market.
B. Momentum Component
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA.
The MACD line crossing above the signal line (9-day EMA of MACD) indicates bullish momentum; crossing below suggests bearish momentum.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Oscillates between 0 and 100.
Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions; below 30 suggest oversold conditions.
C. Volume Component
On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Cumulatively adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days.
A rising OBV alongside rising prices confirms an uptrend; divergence may signal a reversal.
3. TSMI Calculation Steps
Step 1: Trend Analysis
EMA Crossover:
Identify if the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA (Golden Cross), indicating a potential uptrend.
Conversely, if the 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA (Death Cross), it may signal a downtrend.
ADX Confirmation:
Confirm the strength of the trend. An ADX value above 25 supports the EMA crossover signal.
Step 2: Momentum Assessment
MACD Evaluation:
Look for MACD crossing above its signal line for bullish momentum or below for bearish momentum.
RSI Check:
Ensure RSI is not in overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) territory to avoid potential reversals against the trend.
Step 3: Volume Verification
OBV Direction:
Confirm that OBV is moving in the same direction as the price trend.
Rising OBV with rising prices strengthens the bullish signal; falling OBV with falling prices strengthens the bearish signal.
Step 4: Composite Signal Generation
Bullish Signal:
50-day EMA crosses above 200-day EMA (Golden Cross).
ADX above 25, indicating a strong trend.
MACD crosses above its signal line.
RSI is between 30 and 70, avoiding overbought conditions.
OBV is rising.
Bearish Signal:
50-day EMA crosses below 200-day EMA (Death Cross).
ADX above 25.
MACD crosses below its signal line.
RSI is between 30 and 70, avoiding oversold conditions.
OBV is falling.
4. How to Use the TSMI
A. Entry Points
Buying into an Uptrend:
Wait for the bullish signal criteria to align.
Enter the position after the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA, supported by positive momentum (MACD and RSI) and volume (OBV).
Selling or Shorting into a Downtrend:
Look for the bearish signal criteria.
Initiate the position after the 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA, with confirming momentum and volume indicators.
B. Exit Strategies
Protecting Profits:
Monitor RSI for overbought or oversold conditions, which may indicate potential reversals.
Watch for MACD divergences or crossovers against your position.
Use trailing stops based on the ATR (Average True Range) to allow profits to run while protecting against sharp reversals.
C. Risk Management
Position Sizing:
Use the ADX value to adjust position sizes. A stronger trend (higher ADX) may justify a larger position, whereas a weaker trend suggests caution.
Avoiding False Signals:
Be cautious during sideways markets where EMAs may whipsaw.
Confirm signals with multiple indicators before acting.
5. Examples
Example 1: Spotting an Emerging Uptrend in Bitcoin
Date: Let's assume on March 1st.
Observations:
EMA Crossover: The 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA.
ADX: Reading is 28, indicating a strong trend.
MACD: Crosses above the signal line and moves into positive territory.
RSI: Reading is 55, comfortably away from overbought levels.
OBV: Shows a rising trend, confirming increasing buying pressure.
Action:
Enter a long position in Bitcoin.
Set a stop-loss below recent swing lows.
Outcome:
Over the next few weeks, Bitcoin's price continues to rise, validating the TSMI signal.
Example 2: Identifying a Downtrend in Ethereum
Date: Let's assume on July 15th.
Observations:
EMA Crossover: The 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA.
ADX: Reading is 30, confirming a strong trend.
MACD: Crosses below the signal line into negative territory.
RSI: Reading is 45, not yet oversold.
OBV: Declining, indicating selling pressure.
Action:
Initiate a short position or exit long positions in Ethereum.
Place a stop-loss above recent resistance levels.
Outcome:
Ethereum's price declines over the following weeks, confirming the downtrend.
6. When to Use the TSMI
Trending Markets: TSMI is most effective in markets exhibiting clear trends, whether bullish or bearish.
Avoiding Sideways Markets: In range-bound markets, EMAs and momentum indicators may provide false signals. ADX readings below 20 suggest it's best to stay on the sidelines.
Volatile Assets: Particularly useful in cryptocurrency markets, which are known for their volatility and extended trends.
7. Limitations and Considerations
Lagging Indicators: Moving averages and ADX are lagging by nature. Rapid reversals may not be immediately captured.
False Signals: No indicator is foolproof. Always confirm signals with multiple components of TSMI.
Market Conditions: External factors like news events can significantly impact prices. Consider combining TSMI with fundamental analysis.
8. Enhancing TSMI
Customization: Adjust EMA periods (e.g., 20-day and 100-day) based on the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
Additional Indicators: Incorporate Bollinger Bands to gauge volatility or Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential support and resistance.
Conclusion
The Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI) offers a holistic approach to spotting emerging trends by combining trend direction, momentum, and volume. By synthesizing the strengths of various traditional indicators while mitigating their individual limitations, TSMI provides traders with a powerful tool to navigate the complex landscape of cryptocurrency and other asset markets.
Key Benefits of TSMI:
Comprehensive Analysis: Integrates multiple market dimensions for well-rounded insights.
Early Trend Identification: Aims to spot trends early for optimal entry points.
Risk Management: Helps in making informed decisions, thereby reducing exposure to false signals.
By applying TSMI diligently and complementing it with sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their ability to capitalize on market trends and improve their overall trading performance.
