Session Profile AnalyzerWhat’s This Thing Do?
Hey there, trader! Meet the Session Profile Analyzer (SPA) your new go-to pal for breaking down market action within your favorite trading sessions. It’s an overlay indicator that mixes Rotation Factor (RF), Average Subperiod Range (ASPR), Volume Value Area Range (VOLVAR), and TPO Value Area Range (TPOVAR) into one tidy little toolkit. Think of it as your market vibe checker momentum, volatility, and key levels, all served up with a grin.
The Cool Stuff It Does:
Rotation Factor (RF) : Keeps tabs on whether the market’s feeling bullish, bearish, or just chilling. It’s like a mood ring for price action shows “UP ↑,” “DOWN ↓,” or “NONE ↔.”
ASPR : Averages out the range of your chosen blocks. Big swings? Tiny wiggles? This tells you the session’s energy level.
VOLVAR : Dives into volume to find where the action’s at, with a smart twist it adjusts price levels based on the session’s size and tiny timeframe moves (capped at 128 so your chart doesn’t cry).
TPOVAR : Grabs lower timeframe data to spot where price hung out the most, TPO-style. Value zones, anyone?
Dynamic Precision : No ugly decimal overload SPA matches your asset’s style (2 decimals for BTC, 5 for TRX, you get it).
How to Play With It:
Session Start/End : Pick your trading window (say, 0930-2200) and a timezone (America/New_York, or wherever you’re at).
Block Size : Set the chunk size for RF and ASPR like 30M if you’re into half-hour vibes.
Value Area Timeframe : Go micro with something like 1S for VOLVAR and TPOVAR precision.
Label : Size it (small to huge), color it (white, neon pink, whatever), and slap it where you want (start, mid, end).
How It All Works (No PhD Required):
RF : Imagine breaking your session into blocks (via Block Size). For each block, SPA checks if the high beats the last high (+1) or not (0), and if the low dips below the last low (-1) or not (0). Add those up, and boom positive RF means upward vibes, negative means downward, near zero is “meh.” Use it to catch trends or spot when the market’s napping.
ASPR : Takes those same blocks, measures high-to-low range each time, and averages them. It’s your volatility pulse big ASPR = wild ride, small ASPR = snooze fest. Great for sizing up session action.
VOLVAR : Here’s the fun part. It takes the session’s full range (high minus low), divides it by the average range of your tiny Value Area Timeframe bars (e.g., 1S), and picks a sensible number of price levels capped at 128 so it doesn’t overthink. Then it bins volume into those levels, finds the busiest price (POC), and grows a 70% value area around it. Perfect for spotting where the big players parked their cash.
TPOVAR : Grabs midpoints from those tiny timeframe bars, sorts them, and snips off the top and bottom 15% to find the 70% “value zone” where price chilled the most. Think of it as the market’s comfort zone great for support/resistance hunting.
Why You’ll Like It:
Whether you’re scalping crypto, swinging forex, or dissecting stocks, SPA’s got your back. Use RF to catch momentum shifts like jumping on an “UP ↑” trend or fading a “DOWN ↓” exhaustion. ASPR’s your secret weapon for sizing up trades: a big ASPR (say, 100 on BTC) means you can aim for juicy targets (like 1-2x ASPR) or set invalidations tight when it’s tiny (e.g., 0.001 on TRX) to dodge chop. VOLVAR and TPOVAR are your level-finders nail those key zones where price loves to bounce or break, perfect for entries, stops, or profit grabs. It’s like having a trading co-pilot who’s chill but knows their stuff.
Heads-Up:
Load enough history for those micro timeframes to shine (1S needs some bars to work with).
Keeps things light won’t bog down your chart even with decent-sized sessions.
Let’s Roll:
Slap SPA on your chart, tweak it to your style, and watch it spill the beans on your session. Happy trading, fam may your pips be plenty and your losses few!

Adaptive Regression Channel [MissouriTim]The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a technical indicator designed to empower traders with a clear, adaptable, and precise view of market trends and price boundaries. By blending advanced statistical techniques with real-time market data, ARC delivers a comprehensive tool that dynamically adjusts to price action, volatility, volume, and momentum. Whether you’re navigating the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies, the steady trends of stocks, or the intricate movements of FOREX pairs, ARC provides a robust framework for identifying opportunities and managing risk.
Core Components
1. Color-Coded Regression Line
ARC’s centerpiece is a linear regression line derived from a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of closing prices. This line adapts its calculation period based on market volatility (via ATR) and is capped between a minimum of 20 bars and a maximum of 1.5 times the user-defined base length (default 100). Visually, it shifts colors to reflect trend direction: green for an upward slope (bullish) and red for a downward slope (bearish), offering an instant snapshot of market sentiment.
2. Dynamic Residual Channels
Surrounding the regression line are upper (red) and lower (green) channels, calculated using the standard deviation of residuals—the difference between actual closing prices and the regression line. This approach ensures the channels precisely track how closely prices follow the trend, rather than relying solely on overall price volatility. The channel width is dynamically adjusted by a multiplier that factors in:
Volatility: Measured through the Average True Range (ATR), widening channels during turbulent markets.
Trend Strength: Based on the regression slope, expanding channels in strong trends and contracting them in consolidation phases.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Plotted in orange, the VWMA overlays a volume-weighted price trend, emphasizing movements backed by significant trading activity. This complements the regression line, providing additional confirmation of trend validity and potential breakout strength.
4. Scaled RSI Overlay
ARC features a Relative Strength Index (RSI) overlay, plotted in purple and scaled to hover closely around the regression line. This compact display reflects momentum shifts within the trend’s context, keeping RSI visible on the price chart without excessive swings. User-defined overbought (default 70) and oversold (default 30) levels offer reference points for momentum analysis."
Technical Highlights
ARC leverages a volatility-adjusted lookback period, residual-based channel construction, and multi-indicator integration to achieve high accuracy. Its parameters—such as base length, channel width, ATR period, and RSI length—are fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific needs.
Why Choose ARC?
ARC stands out for its adaptability and precision. The residual-based channels offer tighter, more relevant support and resistance levels compared to standard volatility measures, while the dynamic adjustments ensure it performs well in both trending and ranging markets. The inclusion of VWMA and scaled RSI adds depth, merging trend, volume, and momentum into a single, cohesive overlay. For traders seeking a versatile, all-in-one indicator, ARC delivers actionable insights with minimal noise.
Best Ways to Use the Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC)
The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a flexible tool that supports a variety of trading strategies, from trend-following to breakout detection. Below are the most effective ways to use ARC, along with practical tips for maximizing its potential. Adjustments to its settings may be necessary depending on the timeframe (e.g., intraday vs. daily) and the asset being traded (e.g., stocks, FOREX, cryptocurrencies), as each market exhibits unique volatility and behavior.
1. Trend Following
• How to Use: Rely on the regression line’s color to guide your trades. A green line (upward slope) signals a bullish trend—consider entering or holding long positions. A red line (downward slope) indicates a bearish trend—look to short or exit longs.
• Best Practice: Confirm the trend with the VWMA (orange line). Price above the VWMA in a green uptrend strengthens the bullish case; price below in a red downtrend reinforces bearish momentum.
• Adjustment: For short timeframes like 15-minute crypto charts, lower the Base Regression Length (e.g., to 50) for quicker trend detection. For weekly stock charts, increase it (e.g., to 200) to capture broader movements.
2. Channel-Based Trades
• How to Use: Use the upper channel (red) as resistance and the lower channel (green) as support. Buy when the price bounces off the lower channel in an uptrend, and sell or short when it rejects the upper channel in a downtrend.
• Best Practice: Check the scaled RSI (purple line) for momentum cues. A low RSI (e.g., near 30) at the lower channel suggests a stronger buy signal; a high RSI (e.g., near 70) at the upper channel supports a sell.
• Adjustment: In volatile crypto markets, widen the Base Channel Width Coefficient (e.g., to 2.5) to reduce false signals. For stable FOREX pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), a narrower width (e.g., 1.5) may work better.
3. Breakout Detection
• How to Use: Watch for price breaking above the upper channel (bullish breakout) or below the lower channel (bearish breakout). These moves often signal strong momentum shifts.
• Best Practice: Validate breakouts with VWMA position—price above VWMA for bullish breaks, below for bearish—and ensure the regression line’s slope aligns (green for up, red for down).
• Adjustment: For fast-moving assets like crypto on 1-hour charts, shorten ATR Length (e.g., to 7) to make channels more reactive. For stocks on daily charts, keep it at 14 or higher for reliability.
4. Momentum Analysis
• How to Use: The scaled RSI overlay shows momentum relative to the regression line. Rising RSI in a green uptrend confirms bullish strength; falling RSI in a red downtrend supports bearish pressure.
• Best Practice: Look for RSI divergences—e.g., price hitting new highs at the upper channel while RSI flattens or drops could signal an impending reversal.
• Adjustment: Reduce RSI Length (e.g., to 7) for intraday trading in FOREX or crypto to catch short-term momentum shifts. Increase it (e.g., to 21) for longer-term stock trades.
5. Range Trading
• How to Use: When the regression line’s slope is near zero (flat) and channels are tight, ARC indicates a ranging market. Buy near the lower channel and sell near the upper channel, targeting the regression line as the mean price.
• Best Practice: Ensure VWMA hovers close to the regression line to confirm the range-bound state.
• Adjustment: For low-volatility stocks on daily charts, use a moderate Base Regression Length (e.g., 100) and tight Base Channel Width (e.g., 1.5). For choppy crypto markets, test shorter settings.
Optimization Strategies
• Timeframe Customization: Adjust ARC’s parameters to match your trading horizon. Short timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 1-hour) benefit from lower Base Regression Length (20–50) and ATR Length (7–10) for agility, while longer timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly) favor higher values (100–200 and 14–21) for stability.
• Asset-Specific Tuning:
○ Stocks: Use longer lengths (e.g., 100–200) and moderate widths (e.g., 1.8) for stable equities; tweak ATR Length based on sector volatility (shorter for tech, longer for utilities).
○ FOREX: Set Base Regression Length to 50–100 and Base Channel Width to 1.5–2.0 for smoother trends; adjust RSI Length (e.g., 10–14) based on pair volatility.
○ Crypto: Opt for shorter lengths (e.g., 20–50) and wider widths (e.g., 2.0–3.0) to handle rapid price swings; use a shorter ATR Length (e.g., 7) for quick adaptation.
• Backtesting: Test ARC on historical data for your asset and timeframe to optimize settings. Evaluate how often price respects channels and whether breakouts yield profitable trades.
• Enhancements: Pair ARC with volume surges, key support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns (e.g., doji at channel edges) for higher-probability setups.
Practical Considerations
ARC’s adaptability makes it suitable for diverse markets, but its performance hinges on proper calibration. Cryptocurrencies, with their high volatility, may require shorter, wider settings to capture rapid moves, while stocks on longer timeframes benefit from broader, smoother configurations. FOREX pairs often fall in between, depending on their inherent volatility. Experiment with the adjustable parameters to align ARC with your trading style and market conditions, ensuring it delivers the precision and reliability you need.
Combined ATR + VolumeOverview
The Combined ATR + Volume indicator (C-ATR+Vol) is designed to measure both price volatility and market participation by merging the Average True Range (ATR) and trading volume into a single normalized value. This provides traders with a more comprehensive tool than ATR alone, as it highlights not only how much price is moving, but also whether there is sufficient volume behind those moves.
Originality & Utility
Two Key Components
ATR (Average True Range): Measures price volatility by analyzing the range (high–low) over a specified period. A higher ATR often indicates larger price swings.
Volume: Reflects how actively traders are participating in the market. High volume typically indicates strong buying or selling interest.
Normalized Combination
Both ATR and volume are independently normalized to a 0–100 range.
The final output (C-ATR+Vol) is the average of these two normalized values. This makes it easy to see when both volatility and market participation are relatively high.
Practical Use
Above 80: Signifies elevated volatility and strong volume. Markets may experience significant moves.
Around 50–80: Indicates moderate activity. Price swings and volume are neither extreme nor minimal.
Below 50: Suggests relatively low volatility and lower participation. The market may be ranging or consolidating.
This combined approach can help filter out situations where volatility is high but volume is absent—or vice versa—providing a more reliable context for potential breakouts or trend continuations.
Indicator Logic
ATR Calculation
Uses Pine Script’s built-in ta.tr(true) function to measure true range, then smooths it with a user-selected method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA).
Key Input: ATR Length (default 14).
Volume Calculation
Smooths the built-in volume variable using the same selectable smoothing methods.
Key Input: Volume Length (default 14).
Normalization
For each metric (ATR and Volume), the script finds the lowest and highest values over the lookback period and converts them into a 0–100 scale:
normalized value
=(current value−min)(max−min)×100
normalized value= (max−min)(current value−min) ×100
Combined Score
The final plot is the average of Normalized ATR and Normalized Volume. This single value simplifies the process of identifying high-volatility, high-volume conditions.
How to Use
Setup
Add the indicator to your chart.
Adjust ATR Length, Volume Length, and Smoothing to match your preferred time horizon or chart style.
Interpretation
High Values (above 80): The market is experiencing significant price movement with high participation. Potential for strong trends or breakouts.
Moderate Range (50–80): Conditions are active but not extreme. Trend setups may be forming.
Low Values (below 50): Indicates quieter markets with reduced liquidity. Expect ranging or less decisive moves.
Strategy Integration
Use C-ATR+Vol alongside other trend or momentum indicators (e.g., Moving Averages, RSI, MACD) to confirm potential entries/exits.
Combine it with support/resistance or price action analysis for a broader market view.

🔹 Combined ATR + Volume (C-ATR+Vol) 지표 설명
이 인디케이터는 ATR(Average True Range)와 거래량(Volume)을 결합하여 시장의 변동성과 유동성을 동시에 측정하는 지표입니다.
ATR은 가격 변동성의 크기를 나타내며, 거래량은 시장 참여자의 활동 수준을 반영합니다. 보통 높은 ATR은 가격 변동이 크다는 의미이고, 높은 거래량은 시장에서 적극적인 거래가 이루어지고 있음을 나타냅니다.
이 두 지표를 각각 0~100 범위로 정규화한 후, 평균을 구하여 "Combined ATR + Volume (C-ATR+Vol)" 값을 계산합니다.
이를 통해 단순한 가격 변동성뿐만 아니라 거래량까지 고려하여, 더욱 신뢰성 있는 변동성 판단을 할 수 있도록 도와줍니다.
📌 핵심 개념
1️⃣ ATR (Average True Range)란?
시장의 변동성을 측정하는 지표로, 일정 기간 동안의 고점-저점 변동폭을 기반으로 계산됩니다.
ATR이 높을수록 가격 변동이 크며, 낮을수록 횡보장이 지속될 가능성이 큽니다.
하지만 ATR은 방향성을 제공하지 않으며, 단순히 변동성의 크기만을 나타냅니다.
2️⃣ 거래량 (Volume)의 역할
거래량은 시장 참여자의 관심과 유동성을 반영하는 중요한 요소입니다.
높은 거래량은 강한 매수 또는 매도세가 존재함을 의미하며, 낮은 거래량은 시장 참여가 적거나 관심이 줄어들었음을 나타냅니다.
3️⃣ ATR + 거래량의 결합 (C-ATR+Vol)
단순한 ATR 값만으로는 변동성이 커도 거래량이 부족할 수 있으며, 반대로 거래량이 많아도 변동성이 낮을 수 있습니다.
이를 해결하기 위해 ATR과 거래량을 각각 0~100으로 정규화하여 균형 잡힌 변동성 지표를 만들었습니다.
두 지표의 평균값을 계산하여, 가격 변동과 거래량이 동시에 높은지를 측정할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.
📊 사용법 및 해석
80 이상 → 강한 변동성 구간
가격 변동성이 크고 거래량도 높은 상태
강한 추세가 진행 중이거나 큰 변동이 일어날 가능성이 큼
상승/하락 방향성을 확인한 후 트렌드를 따라가는 전략이 유리
50~80 구간 → 보통 수준의 변동성
가격 움직임이 일정하며, 거래량도 적절한 수준
점진적인 추세 형성이 이루어질 가능성이 있음
시장이 점진적으로 상승 혹은 하락할 가능성이 크므로, 보조지표를 활용하여 매매 타이밍을 결정하는 것이 중요
50 이하 → 낮은 변동성 및 유동성 부족
가격 변동이 적고, 거래량도 낮은 상태
시장이 횡보하거나 조정 기간에 들어갈 가능성이 큼
박스권 매매(지지/저항 활용) 또는 돌파 전략을 고려할 수 있음
💡 활용 방법 및 전략
✅ 1. 트렌드 판단 보조지표로 활용
단독으로 사용하는 것보다는 RSI, MACD, 이동평균선(MA) 등의 지표와 함께 활용하는 것이 효과적입니다.
예를 들어, MACD가 상승 신호를 주고, C-ATR+Vol 값이 80을 초과하면 강한 상승 추세로 해석할 수 있습니다.
✅ 2. 변동성 돌파 전략에 활용
C-ATR+Vol이 80 이상인 구간에서 가격이 특정 저항선을 돌파한다면, 강한 추세의 시작을 의미할 수 있습니다.
반대로, C-ATR+Vol이 50 이하에서 가격이 저항선에 가까워지면 돌파 가능성이 낮아질 수 있습니다.
✅ 3. 시장 참여도와 변동성 확인
단순히 ATR만 높아서는 신뢰하기 어려운 경우가 많습니다. 예를 들어, 급등 후 거래량이 급감하면 상승 지속 가능성이 낮아질 수도 있습니다.
하지만 C-ATR+Vol을 사용하면 거래량이 함께 증가하는지를 확인하여 보다 신뢰할 수 있는 분석이 가능합니다.
🚀 결론
🔹 Combined ATR + Volume (C-ATR+Vol) 인디케이터는 단순한 ATR이 아니라 거래량까지 고려하여 변동성을 측정하는 강력한 도구입니다.
🔹 시장이 큰 움직임을 보일 가능성이 높은 구간을 찾는 데 유용하며, 80 이상일 경우 강한 변동성이 있음을 나타냅니다.
🔹 단독으로 사용하기보다는 보조지표와 함께 활용하여, 트렌드 분석 및 돌파 전략 등에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있습니다.
📌 주의사항
변동성이 크다고 해서 반드시 가격이 급등/급락한다는 보장은 없습니다.
특정한 매매 전략 없이 단순히 이 지표만 보고 매수/매도를 결정하는 것은 위험할 수 있습니다.
시장 상황에 따라 변동성의 의미가 다르게 작용할 수 있으므로, 반드시 다른 보조지표와 함께 활용하는 것이 중요합니다.
🔥 이 지표를 활용하여 시장의 변동성과 거래량을 보다 효과적으로 분석해보세요! 🚀

Fractal Breakout Trend Following System█ OVERVIEW
The Fractal Breakout Trend Following System is a custom technical analysis tool designed to pinpoint significant fractal pivot points and breakout levels. By analyzing price action through configurable pivot parameters, this indicator dynamically identifies key support and resistance zones. It not only marks crucial highs and lows on the chart but also signals potential trend reversals through real-time breakout detections, helping traders capture shifts in market momentum.
█ KEY FEATURES
Fractal Pivot Detection
Utilizes user-defined left and right pivot lengths to detect local highs (pivot highs) and lows (pivot lows). This fractal-based approach ensures that only meaningful price moves are considered, effectively filtering out minor market noise.
Dynamic Line Visualization
Upon confirmation of a pivot, the system draws a dynamic line representing resistance (from pivot highs) or support (from pivot lows). These lines extend across the chart until a breakout occurs, offering a continuous visual guide to key levels.
Trend Breakout Signals
Monitors for price crossovers relative to the drawn pivot lines. A crossover above a resistance line signals a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish move, thus updating the prevailing trend.
Pivot Labelling
Assigns labels such as "HH", "LH", "LL", or "HL" to detected pivots based on their relative values.
It uses the following designations:
HH (Higher High) : Indicates that the current pivot high is greater than the previous pivot high, suggesting continued upward momentum.
LH (Lower High) : Signals that the current pivot high is lower than the previous pivot high, which may hint at a potential reversal within an uptrend.
LL (Lower Low) : Shows that the current pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low, confirming sustained downward pressure.
HL (Higher Low) : Reveals that the current pivot low is higher than the previous pivot low, potentially indicating the beginning of an upward reversal in a downtrend.
These labels provide traders with immediate insight into the market structure and recent price behavior.
Customizable Visual Settings
Offers various customization options:
• Adjust pivot sensitivity via left/right pivot inputs.
• Toggle pivot labels on or off.
• Enable background color changes to reflect bullish or bearish trends.
• Choose preferred colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) signals.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Fractal Pivot Calculation
The script employs a sliding window technique using configurable left and right parameters to identify local highs and lows. Detected pivot values are sanitized to ensure consistency in subsequent calculations.
Dynamic Line Plotting
When a new pivot is detected, a corresponding line is drawn from the pivot point. This line extends until the price breaks the level, at which point it is reset. This method provides a continuous reference for support and resistance.
Trend Breakout Identification
By continuously monitoring price interactions with the pivot lines, the indicator identifies breakouts. A price crossover above a resistance line suggests a bullish breakout, while a crossunder below a support line indicates a bearish shift. The current trend is updated accordingly.
Pivot Label Assignment
The system compares the current pivot with the previous one to determine if the move represents a higher high, lower high, higher low, or lower low. This classification helps traders understand the underlying market momentum.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Fractal Breakout Trend Following System to your chart to begin visualizing dynamic pivot points and breakout signals.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Pivot Detection – Configure the left and right pivot lengths for both highs and lows to suit your desired sensitivity:

Fibonacci 3-D🟩 The Fibonacci 3-D indicator is a visual tool that introduces a three-dimensional approach to Fibonacci projections, leveraging market geometry. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that rely on two points and project horizontal levels, this indicator leverages slopes derived from three points to introduce a dynamic element into the calculations. The Fibonacci 3-D indicator uses three user-defined points to form a triangular structure, enabling multi-dimensional projections based on the relationships between the triangle’s sides.
This triangular framework forms the foundation for the indicator’s calculations, with each slope (⌳AB, ⌳AC, and ⌳BC) representing the rate of price change between its respective points. By incorporating these slopes into Fibonacci projections, the indicator provides an alternate approach to identifying potential support and resistance levels. The Fibonacci 3-D expands on traditional methods by integrating both historical price trends and recent momentum, offering deeper insights into market dynamics and aligning with broader market geometry.
The indicator operates across three modes, each defined by the triangular framework formed by three user-selected points (A, B, and C):
1-Dimensional (1-D): Fibonacci levels are based on a single side of the triangle, such as AB, AC, or BC. The slope of the selected side determines the angle of the projection, allowing users to analyze linear trends or directional price movements.
2-Dimensional (2-D): Combines two slopes derived from the sides of the triangle, such as AB and BC or AC and BC. This mode adds depth to the projections, accounting for both historical price swings and recent market momentum.
3-Dimensional (3-D): Integrates all three slopes into a unified projection. This mode captures the full geometric relationship between the points, revealing a comprehensive view of geometric market structure.
🌀 THEORY & CONCEPT 🌀
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator builds on the foundational principles of traditional Fibonacci analysis while expanding its scope to capture more intricate market structures. At its core, the indicator operates based on three user-selected points (A, B, and C), forming the vertices of a triangle that provides the structural basis for all calculations. This triangle determines the slopes, projections, and Fibonacci levels, aligning with the unique geometric relationships between the chosen points. By introducing multiple dimensions and leveraging this triangular framework, the indicator enables a deeper examination of price movements.
1️⃣ First Dimension (1-D)
In technical analysis, traditional Fibonacci retracement and extension tools operate as one-dimensional instruments. They rely on two price points, often a swing high and a swing low, to calculate and project horizontal levels at predefined Fibonacci ratios. These levels identify potential support and resistance zones based solely on the price difference between the selected points.
A one-dimensional Fibonacci showing levels derived from two price points (B and C).
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator extends this one-dimensional concept by introducing Ascending and Descending projection options. These options calculate the levels to align with the directional movement of price, creating sloped projections instead of purely horizontal levels.
1-D mode with an ascending projection along the ⌳BC slope aligned to the market's slope. Potential support is observed at 0.236 and 0.382, while resistance appears at 1.0 and 0.5.
2️⃣ Second Dimension (2-D)
The second dimension incorporates a second side of the triangle, introducing relationships between two slopes (e.g., ⌳AB and ⌳BC) to form a more dynamic three-point structure (A, B, and C) on the chart. This structure enables the indicator to move beyond the single-axis (price) calculations of traditional Fibonacci tools. The sides of the triangle (AB, AC, BC) represent slopes calculated as the rate of price change over time, capturing distinct components of market movement, such as trend direction and momentum.
2-D mode of the Fibonacci 3-D indicator using the ⌳AC slope with a descending projection. The Fibonacci projections align closely with observed market behavior, providing support at 0.236 and resistance at 0.618. Unlike traditional zigzag setups, this configuration uses two swing highs (A and B) and a swing low (C). The alignment along the descending slope highlights the geometric relationships between selected points in identifying potential support and resistance levels.
3️⃣ Third Dimension (3-D)
The third dimension expands the analysis by integrating all three slopes into a unified calculation, encompassing the entire triangle structure formed by points A, B, and C. Unlike the second dimension, which analyzes pairwise slope relationships, the 3-D mode reflects the combined geometry of the triangle. Each slope contributes a distinct perspective: AB and AC provide historical context, while BC emphasizes the most recent price movement and is given greater weight in the calculations to ensure projections remain responsive to current dynamics.
Using this integrated framework, the 3-D mode dynamically adjusts Fibonacci projections to balance long-term patterns and short-term momentum. The projections extend outward in alignment with the triangle’s geometry, offering a comprehensive framework for identifying potential support and resistance zones and capturing market structures beyond the scope of simpler 1-D or 2-D modes.
Three-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope, aligning closely with the market's directional movement. The projection highlights key levels: resistance at 0.0 and 0.618, and support at 1.0, 0.786, and 0.382.
By leveraging all three slopes simultaneously, the 3-D mode introduces a level of complexity particularly suited for volatile or non-linear markets. The weighted slope calculations ensure no single price movement dominates the analysis, allowing the projections to adapt dynamically to the broader market structure while remaining sensitive to recent momentum.
Three-dimensional ascending projection. In 3D mode, the indicator integrates all three slopes to calculate the angle of projection for the Fibonacci levels. The resulting projections adapt dynamically to the overall geometry of the ABC structure, aligning with the market’s current direction.
🔂 Interactions: Dimensions. Slope Source, Projections, and Orientation
The Dimensions , Projections , and Orientation settings work together to define Fibonacci projections within the triangular framework. Each setting plays a specific role in the geometric analysis of price movements.
♾️ Dimension determines which of the three modes (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D) is used for Fibonacci projections. In 1-D mode, the projections are based on a single side of the triangle, such as AB, AC, or BC. In 2-D mode, two sides are combined, producing levels based on their geometric relationship. The 3-D mode integrates all three sides of the triangle, calculating projections using weighted averages that emphasize the BC side for its relevance to recent price movement while maintaining historical context from the AB and AC sides.
A one-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AB slope with a neutral projection. Important levels of interaction are highlighted: repeated resistance at Level 1.0 and repeated support at Levels 0.5 and 0.618. The projection aligns horizontally, reflecting the relationship between points A, B, and C while identifying recurring zones of market structure.
🧮 Slope Source determines which side of the triangle (AB, AC, or BC) serves as the foundation for Fibonacci projections. This selection directly impacts the calculations by specifying the slope that anchors the geometric relationships within the chosen Dimension mode (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D).
In 1-D mode, the selected Source defines the single side used for the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, the Source works in conjunction with other settings to refine projections by integrating the selected slope into the multi-dimensional framework.
One-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC Slope Source and Ascending projection. The projection continues on the AC slope line.
🎯 Projection controls the direction and alignment of Fibonacci levels. Neutral projections produce horizontal levels, similar to traditional Fibonacci tools. Ascending and Descending projections adjust the levels along the calculated slope to reflect market trends. These options allow the indicator’s outputs to align with different market behaviors.
An ascending projection along the ⌳BC slope aligns with resistance levels at 1.0, 0.618, and 0.236. The geometric relationship between points A, B, and C illustrates how the projection adapts to market structure, identifying resistance zones that may not be captured by traditional Fibonacci tools.
🧭 Orientation modifies the alignment of the setup area defined by points A, B, and C, which influences Fibonacci projections in 2-D and 3-D modes. In Default mode, the triangle aligns naturally based on the relative positions of points B and C. In Inverted mode, the geometric orientation of the setup area is reversed, altering the slope calculations while preserving the projection direction specified in the Projection setting. In 1-D mode, Orientation has no effect since only one side is used for the projection.
Adjusting the Orientation setting provides alternative views of how Fibonacci levels align with the market's structure. By recalibrating the triangle’s setup, the inverted orientation can highlight different relationships between the sides, providing additional perspectives on support and resistance zones.
2-D inverted. The ⌳AC slope defines the projection, and the inverted orientation adjusts the alignment of the setup area, altering the angles used in level calculations. Key levels are highlighted: resistance at 0.786, strong support at 0.5 and 0.236, and a resistance-turned-support interaction at 0.618.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator includes configurable settings to adjust its functionality and visual representation. These options include customization of the dimensions (1-D, 2-D, or 3-D), slope calculations, orientations, projections, Fibonacci levels, and visual elements.
When adding the indicator to a new chart, select three reference points (A, B, and C). These are usually set to recent swing points. All three points can be easily changed at any time by clicking on the reference point and dragging it to a new location.
By default, all settings are set to Auto . The indicator uses an internal algorithm to estimate the projections based on the orientation and relative positions of the reference points. However, all values can be overridden to reflect the user's interpretation of the current market geometry.
⚙️ Core Settings
Dimensions : Defines how many sides of the triangle formed by points A, B, and C are incorporated into the calculations for Fibonacci projections. This setting determines the level of complexity and detail in the analysis. 1-D : Projects levels along the angle of a single user-selected side of the triangle.
2-D : Projects levels based on a composite slope derived from the angles of two sides of the triangle.
3-D : Projects levels based on a composite slope derived from all three sides of the triangle (A-B, A-C, and B-C), providing a multi-dimensional projection that adapts to both historical and recent market movements.
Slope Source : Determines which side of the triangle is used as the basis for slope calculations. A–B: The slope between points A and B. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.
A–C: The slope between points A and C. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.
B--C: The slope between points B and C. In 1-D mode, this determines the projection. In 2-D and 3-D modes, it contributes to the composite slope calculation.

Notes
Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that include extensions beyond 1.0 (e.g., 1.618 or 2.618), the Fibonacci 3-D indicator restricts Fibonacci levels to the range between 0.0 and 1.0. This is because the projections are tied directly to the proportional relationships along the sides of the triangle formed by points A, B, and C, rather than extending beyond its defined structure.
The indicator's calculations dynamically sort the user-defined A, B, and C points by time, ensuring point A is always the earliest, point C the latest, and point B the middle. This automatic sorting allows users to freely adjust the points directly on the chart without concern for their sequence, maintaining consistency in the triangular structure.
🖼️ ADDITIONAL CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Three-dimensional ⌳AC slope is used with an ascending projection, even as the broader market trend moves downward. Despite the apparent contradiction, the projected Fibonacci levels align closely with price action, identifying zones of support and resistance. These levels highlight smaller countertrend movements, such as pullbacks to 0.382 and 0.236, followed by continuations at resistance levels like 0.618 and 0.786.
In 2-D mode, an ascending projection based on the BC slope highlights the market's geometric structure. A setup triangle, defined by a swing high (A), a swing low (B), and another swing high (C), reveals Fibonacci projections aligning with support at 0.236, 0.382, and 0.5, and resistance at 0.618, 0.786, and 1.0, as shown by the green and red arrows. This demonstrates the ability to uncover dynamic support and resistance levels not calculated in traditional Fibonacci tools.
In 2-D mode with an ascending projection from the ⌳AB slope, price movement is contained within the 0.5 and 0.786 levels. The 0.5 level serves as support, while the 0.786 level acts as resistance, with price action consistently interacting with these boundaries.
An AC (2-D) ascending projection is derived from two swing highs (A and B) and a swing low (C), reflecting a non-linear market structure that deviates from traditional zigzag patterns. The ascending projection aligns closely with the market's upward trajectory, forming a channel between the 0.0 and 0.5 Fibonacci levels. Note how price action interacts with the projected levels, showing support at 0.236 and 0.382, with the 0.5 level acting as a mid-channel equilibrium.
Two-dimensional ascending Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope. Arrows highlight resistance at 0.786 and support at 0.0 and 0.236. The projection follows the ⌳AC slope, reflecting the geometric relationship between points A, B, and C to identify these levels.
Three-dimensional Fibonacci projection using the ⌳AC slope, aligned with the actual market's directional trend. By removing additional Fibonacci levels, the image emphasizes key areas: resistance at Level 0.0 and support at Levels 1.0 and 0.5. The projection dynamically follows the ⌳AC slope, adapting to the market's structure as defined by points A, B, and C.
A three-dimensional configuration uses the ⌳AB slope as the baseline for projections while incorporating the geometric influence of point C. Only the 0.0 and 0.618 levels are enabled, emphasizing the relationship between support at 0.0 and resistance at 0.618. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools, which operate in a single plane, this setup reveals levels that rely on the triangular relationship between points A, B, and C. The third dimension allows for projections that align more closely with the market’s structure and reflect its multi-dimensional geometry.
The Fibonacci 3-D indicator can adapt to non-traditional point selection. Point A serves as a swing low, while points B and C are swing highs, forming an unconventional configuration. ⌳The BC slope is used in 2-D mode with an inverted orientation, flipping the projection direction and revealing resistance at Level 0.786 and support at Levels 0.618 and 0.5.

Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a Pine Version 6 script that builds upon the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to offer an advanced trend analysis tool. Its purpose is to help traders identify trend direction, potential reversals, and overall market momentum with reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages. By combining the HMA with Average True Range (ATR) thresholds, slope-dependent coloring, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) ribbons, and optional reversal signals, the script aims to give a detailed view of price activity in various market environments.
2. Overview
This script begins with the calculation of a Hull Moving Average, a method that blends Weighted Moving Averages in a way designed to cut down on lag while still smoothing out price fluctuations. Next, several enhancements are applied. The script compares current HMA values to previous ones for slope-based coloring, which highlights uptrends and downtrends at a glance. It also plots buy and sell signals when price moves beyond or below thresholds determined by the ATR and the user’s chosen signal multiplier. An optional VWAP ribbon can be shown to confirm bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted benchmark. Additionally, the script can plot reversal signals (labeled with B) at points where price crosses back toward the HMA from above or below. Taken together, these elements allow traders to visualize both the short-term momentum and the broader context of how price interacts with volatility and overall market direction.
3. Why These Indicators Have Been Linked Together
The reason the Hull Moving Average, the Average True Range, and the VWAP have been integrated into one script is to tackle multiple facets of market analysis in a single tool. The Zero Lag Hull Moving Average provides a responsive trend line, the ATR offers a measure of volatility that helps distinguish significant price shifts from typical fluctuations, and the VWAP acts as a reference for fair value based on traded volume. By layering all three, the script helps traders avoid the need to juggle multiple separate indicators and offers a holistic perspective. The slope-based coloring focuses on trend direction, the ATR-based thresholds refine possible buy and sell zones, and the VWAP ribbons provide insight into how price stands relative to an important volume-weighted level. The inclusion of up and down signals and reversal B labels further refines entries and exits.
4. Why Use Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite
The Hull Moving Average is already known for reacting more quickly to price changes compared to other moving averages while retaining a degree of smoothness. This suite enhances the basic HMA by showing colored gradients that make it easy to spot trend direction changes, highlighting potential entry or exit points based on volatility-driven thresholds, and optionally layering a volume-based measure of bullish or bearish market sentiment. By relying on a zero lag approach and additional data points, the script caters to those wanting a more responsive method of identifying shifts in market dynamics. The added reversal signals and up or down alerts give traders extra confirmation for potential turning points.
5. How This Extension Improves on the Basic HMA
This extension not only plots the Hull Moving Average but also includes data-driven alerts and visual cues that traditional HMA lines do not provide. First, it offers multi-layered slope coloring, making up or down trends quickly apparent. Second, it uses ATR-based thresholds to pinpoint moments when price may be extending beyond normal volatility, thus generating buy or sell signals. Third, the script introduces an optional VWAP ribbon to indicate whether the market is trading above or below this pivotal volume-weighted benchmark, adding a further confirmation step for bullish or bearish conditions. Finally, it incorporates optional reversal signals labeled with B, indicating points where price might swing back toward the main HMA line.
6. Core Components
The script can be broken down into several primary functions and features.
a. Zero Lag HMA Calculation
Uses two Weighted Moving Averages (half-length and full-length) combined through a smoothing step based on the square root of the chosen length. This approach is designed to reduce lag significantly compared to other moving averages.
b. Slope Detection
Compares current and prior HMA values to determine if the trend is up or down. The slope-based coloring changes between turquoise shades for upward movement and magenta shades for downward movement, making trend direction immediately visible.
c. ATR-Based Thresholding for Up and Down Signals
The script calculates an Average True Range over a user-defined period, then multiplies it by a signal factor to form two bands around the HMA. When price crosses below the lower band, an up (buy) signal appears; when it crosses above the upper band, a down (sell) signal is shown.
d. Reversal Signals (B Labels)
Tracks when price transitions back toward the main HMA from an extreme zone. When enabled, these reversal points are labeled with a B and can help traders see potential turning points or mean-reversion setups.
e. VWAP Bands
An optional Volume Weighted Average Price ribbon that plots above or below the HMA, indicating bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted price benchmark. This can also act as a kind of support/ resistance.
7. User Inputs
a. HMA Length
Controls how quickly the moving average responds to price changes. Shorter lengths react faster but can lead to more frequent signals, whereas longer lengths produce smoother lines.
b. Source
Specifies the price input, such as close or an alternative source, for the calculation. This can help align the HMA with specific trading strategies.
c. ATR Length and Signal Multiplier
Defines how the script calculates average volatility and sets thresholds for buy or sell alerts. Adjusting these values can help filter out noise or highlight more aggressive signals.
d. Slope Index
Determines how many bars to look back for detecting slope direction, influencing how sensitive the slope coloring is to small fluctuations.
e. Show Buy and Sell Signals, Reversal Signals, and VWAP
Lets users toggle the display of these features. Turning off certain elements can reduce chart clutter if traders prefer a simpler layout.
8. Calculation Process
The script’s calculation follows a step-by-step approach. It first computes two Weighted Moving Averages of the selected price source, one over half the specified length and one over the full length. It then combines these using 2*wma1 minus wma2 to reduce lag, followed by applying another weighted average using the square root of the length. Simultaneously, it computes the ATR for a user-defined period. By multiplying ATR by the signal multiplier, it establishes upper and lower bands around the HMA, where crossovers generate buy (up) or sell (down) signals. The script can also plot reversal signals (B labels) when price crosses back from these bands in the opposite direction. For the optional VWAP feature, Pine Script’s ta.vwap function is used, and differences between the HMA and VWAP levels determine the color and opacity of the ribbon.
9. Signal Generation and Filtering
The ATR-based thresholds reduce the influence of small, inconsequential price swings. When price falls below the lower band, the script issues an up (buy) signal. If price breaks above the upper band, a down (sell) signal appears. These signals are visible through labels placed near the bars. Reversal signals, labeled with B, can be turned on to help detect when price retraces from an extended area back toward the main HMA line. Traders can disable or enable these signals to match their preferred level of chart detail or risk tolerance.
10. Visualization on the Chart
The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite aims for visual clarity. The HMA line is plotted multiple times with increasing transparency to create a gradient effect. Turquoise gradients indicate upward slopes, and magenta gradients signify downward slopes. Bar coloring can be configured to align with the slope direction, providing quick insight into current momentum. When enabled, buy or sell labels are placed under or above the bars as price crosses the ATR-defined boundaries. If the reversal option is active, B labels appear around areas where price changes direction. The optional VWAP ribbons form background bands, using distinct coloration to signal whether price is above or below the volume-weighted metric.
11. Market Adaptability
Because the script’s parameters (HMA length, ATR length, signal multiplier, and slope index) are user-configurable, it can adapt to a wide range of markets and timeframes. Intraday traders may prefer a shorter HMA length for quick signals, while swing or position traders might use a longer HMA length to filter out short-lived price changes. The source setting can also be adjusted, allowing for specialized data inputs beyond just close or open values.
12. Risk Management Considerations
The script’s signals and labels are based on past price data and volatility readings, and they do not guarantee profitable outcomes. Sharp market reversals or unforeseen fundamental events can produce false signals. Traders should combine this tool with broader risk management strategies, including stop-loss placement, position sizing, and independent market analyses. The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite can help highlight potential opportunities, but it should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trade decisions.
13. Combining with Other Tools
Many traders choose to verify signals from the Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite using popular indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), or even simple volume-based metrics to confirm whether a price movement has sufficient momentum. Conventional techniques such as support and resistance levels, chart patterns, or candlestick analysis can also supplement signals generated by the script’s up, down, or reversal B labels.
14. Parameter Customization and Examples
a. Short-Term Day Trading
Using a shorter HMA length (for instance, 9 or 14) and a slightly higher ATR multiplier might provide timely buy and sell signals, though it may also produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
b. Swing or Position Trading
Selecting a longer HMA length (such as 50 or 100) with a moderate ATR multiplier can help users track more significant and sustained market moves, potentially reducing the effect of minor fluctuations.
c. Multiple Timeframe Blends
Some traders load two versions of the indicator on the same chart, one for short-term signals (with frequent B label reversals) and another for the broader trend direction, aligning entry and exit decisions with the bigger picture.
15. Realistic Expectations
Even though the Hull Moving Average helps minimize lag and the script incorporates volatility-based filters and optional VWAP overlays, it cannot predict future market behavior with complete accuracy. Periods of low liquidity or sudden market shocks can still lead to signals that do not reflect longer-term trends. Frequent parameter review and manual confirmation are advised before executing trades based solely on the script’s outputs.
16. Theoretical Background
The Hull Moving Average formula aims to balance smoothness with reactivity, accomplished by combining Weighted Moving Averages at varying lengths. By subtracting a slower average from a faster one and then applying another smoothing step with the square root of the original length, the HMA is designed to respond more promptly to price changes than typical exponential or simple moving averages. The ATR component, introduced by J. Welles Wilder, calculates the average range of price movement over a user-defined period, allowing the script to assess volatility and adapt signals accordingly. VWAP provides a volume-weighted benchmark that many institutional traders track to gauge fair intraday value.
17. Originality and Uniqueness
Although multiple HMA-based indicators can be found, Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite sets itself apart by merging slope-based coloring, ATR thresholds, VWAP ribbons, up or down labels, and optional reversal signals all in one cohesive platform. This synergy aims to reduce chart clutter while still giving traders a comprehensive look at trend direction, volatility, and volume-based sentiment.
18. Summary
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a specialized trading script designed to highlight potential market trends and reversals with minimal delay. It leverages the Hull Moving Average for an adaptive yet smooth price line, pairs ATR-based thresholds for detecting possible breakouts or dips, and provides VWAP-based ribbons for added volume-weighted context. Traders can further refine their entries and exits by enabling up or down signals and reversal labels (B) where price may revert toward the HMA. Suitable for a wide range of timeframes and instrument types, the script encourages a disciplined approach to trade management and risk control.

Fibonacci Snap Tool [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Snap tool automatically snaps to the swing high and swing low of the price data shown on the chart display. Fibonacci retracement levels can be used for entry, exit, or as a confirmation of trend continuation.
If the swing high on the chart comes before the swing low, the price is in a downtrend.If the swing high comes after the swing low, the price is in an uptrend.
We call the 23.60% Fibonacci level the momentum zone of the trend. Price in a solid trend, either up or down, will typically hold the 23.60% Fibonacci level as support (demand) in an uptrend or resistance (supply) in a downtrend.
Deeper Fibonacci levels of 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% are corrective supply/demand zones. As price moves against the found trend, it can move into this range block we call the corrective zone.
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential supply/demand areas where price could reverse or consolidate. These levels are based on key ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, and we only use the core 23.60%, 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% ratios.
CONCEPTS
Price action moves in trend cycles, these retracement levels help traders measure proportional relationships between the high/low swings in the price trend.
When a price trend is moving against the trend, traders can find opportunities to trade with the current trend at key Fibonacci levels. Fibonacci levels can be used to anticipate where price might find supply/demand imbalance and continue moving in the trend direction.
Traders apply the indicator by selecting a window of price they want to analyze in the chart display, and the Fibonacci Snap tool will snap to the high and low of the visible price display.
The Intent and Use of This Tool
The 23.60% level acts as a momentum or continuation of trend. The 38.20% to 61.80% range are corrective zones of the trend.
The 61.80% level, also known as the golden ratio (Google the term “Golden Ratio”; it's fun), can often represent the location of supply/demand imbalance.
In an uptrend, it can represent the area of no more selling supply, and the balance can shift to buying demand. In a downtrend, it can represent the area of no more buying demand and the balance can shift to selling supply.
When used with the Momentum Zones indicator, these two tools create a powerful combination for traders to find, implement, and manage trades.

Dynamic Trend Lines-AYNETCode Summary: Dynamic Trend Lines
This code dynamically draws trend lines and labels based on swing highs and lows identified from historical price action.
Key Features
Swing Point Detection:
Uses the ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to identify recent swing highs and swing lows based on a customizable lookback period.
Trend Lines:
Uptrend Line:
Draws a line connecting swing low points.
Colored in blue by default.
Downtrend Line:
Draws a line connecting swing high points.
Colored in red by default.
Lines dynamically adjust as new swing points are identified.
Labels:
Adds a circle-style label at each swing high and swing low.
Displays the price value of the swing point.
Labels have:
Green background for uptrends.
Red background for downtrends.
Customizable Inputs:
lookback: Sensitivity of swing point detection (higher value = fewer swings).
line_color_up and line_color_down: Colors for the trend lines.
label_bg_up and label_bg_down: Colors for the label backgrounds.
Auto Updates:
Trend lines and labels update dynamically as the chart progresses, ensuring they reflect the latest market conditions.
How It Works
Identify Swing Points:
Detects local highs and lows within the defined lookback period.
Draw Lines:
Uptrend lines are drawn from the most recent swing lows.
Downtrend lines are drawn from the most recent swing highs.
Add Labels:
Each swing point is labeled with its price value for easy reference.
Visual Output
Trend Lines:
Blue for uptrends, red for downtrends.
Labels:
Circular labels with price values:
Green for swing lows (uptrend points).
Red for swing highs (downtrend points).
Example Use Case
This script is useful for traders who want to:
Visually identify key trend lines based on swing highs and lows.
Understand the critical price points of market reversals.

The Most Powerful TQQQ EMA Crossover Trend Trading StrategyTQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy Indicator
Meta Title: TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy - Enhance Your Trading with Effective Signals
Meta Description: Discover the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy, designed to optimize trading decisions with fast and slow EMA crossovers. Learn how to effectively use this powerful indicator for better trading results.
Key Features
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy is a powerful trading tool that utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. Key features of this indicator include:
**Fast and Slow EMAs:** The strategy incorporates two EMAs, allowing traders to capture short-term trends while filtering out market noise.
**Entry and Exit Signals:** Automated signals for entering and exiting trades based on EMA crossovers, enhancing decision-making efficiency.
**Customizable Parameters:** Users can adjust the lengths of the EMAs, as well as take profit and stop loss multipliers, tailoring the strategy to their trading style.
**Visual Indicators:** Clear visual plots of the EMAs and exit points on the chart for easy interpretation.
How It Works
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy operates by calculating two EMAs: a fast EMA (default length of 20) and a slow EMA (default length of 50). The core concept is based on the crossover of these two moving averages:
- When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it generates a *buy signal*, indicating a potential upward trend.
- Conversely, when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, it produces a *sell signal*, suggesting a potential downward trend.
This method allows traders to capitalize on momentum shifts in the market, providing timely signals for trade execution.
Trading Ideas and Insights
Traders can leverage the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy in various market conditions. Here are some insights:
**Scalping Opportunities:** The strategy is particularly effective for scalping in volatile markets, allowing traders to make quick profits on small price movements.
**Swing Trading:** Longer-term traders can use this strategy to identify significant trend reversals and capitalize on larger price swings.
**Risk Management:** By incorporating customizable stop loss and take profit levels, traders can manage their risk effectively while maximizing potential returns.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
While this strategy primarily relies on EMAs, it can be enhanced by integrating additional indicators such as:
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):** To confirm overbought or oversold conditions before entering trades.
- **Volume Indicators:** To validate breakout signals, ensuring that price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
Combining these indicators provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics, increasing the reliability of trade signals generated by the EMA crossover.
Unique Aspects
What sets this indicator apart is its simplicity combined with effectiveness. The reliance on EMAs allows for smoother signals compared to traditional moving averages, reducing false signals often associated with choppy price action. Additionally, the ability to customize parameters ensures that traders can adapt the strategy to fit their unique trading styles and risk tolerance.
How to Use
To effectively utilize the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy:
1. **Add the Indicator:** Load the script onto your TradingView chart.
2. **Set Parameters:** Adjust the fast and slow EMA lengths according to your trading preferences.
3. **Monitor Signals:** Watch for crossover points; enter trades based on buy/sell signals generated by the indicator.
4. **Implement Risk Management:** Set your stop loss and take profit levels using the provided multipliers.
Regularly review your trading performance and adjust parameters as necessary to optimize results.
Customization
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy allows for extensive customization:
- **EMA Lengths:** Change the default lengths of both fast and slow EMAs to suit different time frames or market conditions.
- **Take Profit/Stop Loss Multipliers:** Adjust these values to align with your risk management strategy. For instance, increasing the take profit multiplier may yield larger gains but could also increase exposure to market fluctuations.
This flexibility makes it suitable for various trading styles, from aggressive scalpers to conservative swing traders.
Conclusion
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy is an effective tool for traders seeking an edge in their trading endeavors. By utilizing fast and slow EMAs, this indicator provides clear entry and exit signals while allowing for customization to fit individual trading strategies. Whether you are a scalper looking for quick profits or a swing trader aiming for larger moves, this indicator offers valuable insights into market trends.

Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line ContinuityDescription:
The "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" is an innovative indicator for identifying key price reversal points (tops and bottoms) with precision. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on abstract data representations like oscillators or momentum-based lines, this indicator directly overlays the price chart. It draws a continuous line connecting highs and lows (tops and bottoms), providing traders with a clear and immediate visual representation of market swings. The lines automatically adjust in real-time, maintaining a straight path during trend continuations and only shifting when a trend reversal is detected.
Originality and Usefulness:
This indicator stands out from other tools available on TradingView due to its unique ability to maintain a continuous line across price swings, preserving accuracy and visual clarity. Most traditional top-and-bottom detectors merely mark points or provide indicators that are disconnected from price action, making it harder for traders to spot patterns. This script takes a different approach by drawing lines directly on the price chart, offering greater precision and better trend visualization. This innovation is particularly useful for traders who rely on visual cues and price action analysis to make decisions. It simplifies the process of identifying reversal points and trends without needing to rely on lagging indicators.
How It Works:
This indicator detects tops and bottoms based on user-defined periods. When the highest point in a given period is detected, it marks it as a top, and similarly, when the lowest point is detected, it marks it as a bottom. As the price moves, the indicator adjusts the lines to connect consecutive tops and bottoms. If the trend continues in the same direction (e.g., an uptrend), the line remains straight and extends. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn to connect the previous bottom (or top) to the new reversal point, providing an accurate visual representation of market trends.
How to Use:
1. Load the Indicator: Add the "Alboncalc: Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity" to your chart from the TradingView script library.
2. Customize Settings: Adjust the "Top Period" and "Bottom Period" inputs to fine-tune the sensitivity of top and bottom detection based on your preferred timeframe.
3. Observe Price Action: As the price moves, the indicator will draw lines directly over the price chart, connecting tops and bottoms.
4. Interpret the Lines: Use the continuous lines to identify ongoing trends and potential reversal points. The line remains straight during trend continuation, indicating sustained movement in one direction. A new line signifies a reversal in the trend.
This tool is ideal for traders using trend-following strategies, breakout detection, or those who prefer clean, visual price action analysis (Only Tops and Bottons).
Underlying Concepts:
The core of this indicator is based on the highest high and lowest low concept, which is common in technical analysis. The logic is simple:
- A top is detected when the price reaches a high point compared to a user-defined number of prior candles (i.e., the `top_period`).
- A bottom is detected when the price hits a low point compared to the prior candles (i.e., the `bottom_period`).
When the price continues in the same trend, the line is extended without a break. This behavior ensures that trends are represented in a clear and consistent manner, which helps traders better identify trend continuations and reversals.
Code Breakdown:
```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Top and Bottom Detector - Straight Line Continuity", overlay=true)
```
- This initializes the indicator and specifies that it will overlay directly on the price chart.
```pinescript
var int top_period = input.int(5, title="Top Period", minval=1)
var int bottom_period = input.int(5, title="Bottom Period", minval=1)
```
- These inputs allow the user to customize the number of candles used to identify tops and bottoms. A higher period results in fewer but more significant top/bottom detections, while a lower period increases sensitivity.
```pinescript
isTop = ta.highest(top_period) == high
isBottom = ta.lowest(bottom_period) == low
```
- These lines check if the current candle has the highest high or the lowest low in the defined period. If true, the current price is either a top or a bottom.
```pinescript
var line currentLine = na
var float last_price = na
var int last_index = na
var bool isUpTrend = na
```
- These variables store the current line being drawn (`currentLine`), the last detected price (`last_price`), and the direction of the trend (`isUpTrend`). `last_index` tracks where the last top or bottom was detected.
```pinescript
if (isTop or isBottom)
if (not na(last_price))
if ((isTop and isUpTrend) or (isBottom and not isUpTrend))
line.set_xy2(currentLine, bar_index, (isTop ? high : low))
else
currentLine := line.new(x1=last_index, y1=last_price, x2=bar_index, y2=(isTop ? high : low), color=color.yellow, width=2)
last_price := (isTop ? high : low)
last_index := bar_index
isUpTrend := isTop
```
- The `if` block handles the logic of drawing the line. If a top or bottom is detected, and the trend continues (either an uptrend for tops or a downtrend for bottoms), the current line is extended using `line.set_xy2`. If a reversal is detected, a new line is drawn using `line.new`.
- The `last_price` and `last_index` variables are updated after each detection, and the `isUpTrend` flag is set based on whether a top or bottom was found.
Conclusion:
This indicator offers a more precise and visually intuitive way of identifying tops and bottoms directly on the price chart, making it an essential tool for traders focused on price action. Its ability to draw continuous lines through ongoing trends and adjust only upon a reversal makes it superior in terms of visual clarity compared to most conventional indicators.

ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:

User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:

Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!
Indicator 10**Indicator 10** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed for use on trading platforms that support Pine Script (version 5).

Relative volume zone + Smart Order Flow Dynamic S/ROverview:
The Relative Volume Zone + Smart Order Flow with Dynamic S/R indicator is designed to help traders identify key trading opportunities by combining multiple technical components. This script integrates relative volume analysis, order flow detection, VWAP, RSI filtering, and dynamic support and resistance levels to offer a comprehensive view of the market conditions. It is particularly effective on shorter timeframes (M5, M15), making it suitable for scalping and day trading strategies.
Key Components:
1. Relative Volume Zones:
• The script calculates the relative volume by comparing the current volume with the average volume over a defined lookback period (volLookback). When the relative volume exceeds a specified multiplier (volMultiplier), it indicates a high volume zone, signaling potential accumulation or distribution areas.
• Purpose: Identifies high-volume trading zones that may act as significant support or resistance, indicating possible entry or exit points.
2. Smart Order Flow Analysis:
• The indicator uses Volume Delta (the difference between buying and selling volume) and a Cumulative Delta to detect order imbalances in the market.
• Order Imbalance is identified using a moving average of the Volume Delta (orderImbalance), which helps highlight hidden buying or selling pressure.
• Purpose: Reveals market sentiment by showing whether buyers or sellers dominate the market, aiding in the identification of trend reversals or continuations.
3. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
• VWAP is calculated over a default daily length (vwapLength) to show the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
• Purpose: Provides insight into the fair value of the asset, indicating whether the market is in an accumulation or distribution phase.
4. RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter:
• RSI is used to filter buy and sell signals, preventing trades in overbought or oversold conditions. It is calculated using a specified period (rsiPeriod).
• Purpose: Reduces false signals and improves trade accuracy by only allowing trades when RSI conditions align with volume and order flow signals.
5. Dynamic Support and Resistance Levels:
• The script dynamically plots support and resistance levels based on recent swing highs and lows (swingLookback).
• Purpose: Identifies potential reversal zones where price action may change direction, allowing for more precise entry and exit points.
How It Works:
• Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when:
• The price enters a high-volume zone.
• The price crosses above a 5-period moving average.
• The cumulative delta shows more buying pressure (cumulativeDelta > SMA of cumulativeDelta).
• The RSI is below 70 (not in overbought conditions).
• Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when:
• The price enters a high-volume zone.
• The price crosses below a 5-period moving average.
• The cumulative delta shows more selling pressure (cumulativeDelta < SMA of cumulativeDelta).
• The RSI is above 30 (not in oversold conditions).
• Dynamic Support and Resistance Lines:
Drawn based on recent swing highs and lows, these lines provide context for potential price reversals or breakouts.
• VWAP and Order Imbalance Lines:
Plotted to show the average traded price and highlight order flow shifts, helping to validate buy/sell signals.
How to Use:
1. Apply the Indicator:
Add the script to your chart and adjust the settings to match your trading style and preferred timeframe (optimized for M5/M15).
2. Interpret the Signals:
Use the buy and sell signals in conjunction with dynamic support/resistance, VWAP, and order imbalance lines to identify high-probability trade setups.
3. Monitor Alerts:
Set alerts for significant order flow events to receive notifications when there is a positive or negative order imbalance, indicating potential market shifts.
What Makes It Unique:
This script is unique because it combines multiple market analysis tools — relative volume zones, smart order flow, VWAP, RSI filtering, and dynamic support/resistance — to provide a well-rounded, multi-dimensional view of the market. This integration allows traders to make more informed decisions by validating signals across various indicators, enhancing overall trading accuracy and effectiveness.
[DarkTrader] Range Level ProbabilityThis indicator calculates and visualizes significant price levels, such as swing highs, swing lows, and mid-price levels, using advanced mathematical functions and statistical methods. It aims to provide traders with insights into potential support and resistance areas by analyzing past price swings and their statistical properties.
Usage :
Identifying Support and Resistance: The projected swing high and swing low levels can act as potential support and resistance zones. Traders can use these levels to anticipate where the price might reverse or experience a pause in its movement.
Trend Analysis: By analyzing the mid-price level and its relationship to the swing high and low, traders can gain insights into the current market trend and potential price direction.
Customizing for Different Periods: Traders can adjust the input parameters, such as the period for calculating the mean and standard deviation, to tailor the indicator to different timeframes and market conditions.
Enhancing Trading Decisions: The indicator provides additional context for trading decisions by combining statistical analysis with visual projections, helping traders make more informed choices and manage risk effectively.
Key Features :
Statistical Analysis: The indicator utilizes statistical techniques to estimate the probability of future price movements. It calculates the likelihood of price reaching certain levels based on historical data, providing a probabilistic view of potential price targets.
Dynamic Range Calculation: It dynamically calculates important price levels based on a defined period. This period is adjustable, allowing traders to customize the indicator to fit different market conditions and trading strategies.
Customizable Appearance: Traders can customize the colors of the projected lines and labels, making it easier to distinguish between different levels and adjust the visual representation to their preferences.
Real-Time Updates: The indicator updates in real time with each new price bar, ensuring that the projected levels reflect the most current market conditions.
The indicator projects key price levels on the chart, including :
Swing High: The highest price level within a specified period.
Swing Low: The lowest price level within the same period.
Mid-Price: The average price between the swing high and swing low.
These levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart, extending into the future, which helps traders anticipate potential support and resistance zones.
Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Uptrick: Dynamic AMA RSI Indicator### **Uptrick: Dynamic AMA RSI Indicator**
**Overview:**
The **Uptrick: Dynamic AMA RSI Indicator** is an advanced technical analysis tool designed for traders who seek to optimize their trading strategies by combining adaptive moving averages with the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering a nuanced approach to trend detection and momentum analysis. By leveraging the Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) and Fast Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA), along with RSI-based overbought and oversold signals, traders can better identify entry and exit points with higher precision and reduced noise.
**Key Components:**
1. **Source Input:**
- The source input is the price data that forms the basis of all calculations. Typically set to the closing price, traders can customize this to other price metrics such as open, high, low, or even the output of another indicator. This flexibility allows the **Uptrick** indicator to be tailored to a wide range of trading strategies.
2. **Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):**
- The AMA is a moving average that adapts its sensitivity based on the dominant market cycle. This adaptation allows the AMA to respond swiftly to significant price movements while smoothing out minor fluctuations, making it particularly effective in trending markets. The AMA adjusts its responsiveness dynamically using a calculated phase adjustment from the dominant cycle, ensuring it remains responsive to the current market environment without being overly reactive to market noise.
3. **Fast Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA):**
- The FAMA is a more sensitive version of the AMA, designed to react faster to price changes. It serves as a signal line in the crossover strategy, highlighting shorter-term trends. The interaction between the AMA and FAMA forms the core of the signal generation, with crossovers between these lines indicating potential buy or sell opportunities.
4. **Relative Strength Index (RSI):**
- The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, providing insights into whether an asset is overbought or oversold. In the **Uptrick** indicator, the RSI is used to confirm the validity of crossover signals between the AMA and FAMA, adding an additional layer of reliability to the trading signals.
**Indicator Logic:**
1. **Dominant Cycle Calculation:**
- The indicator starts by calculating the dominant market cycle using a smoothed price series. This involves applying exponential moving averages to a series of price differences, extracting cycle components, and determining the instantaneous phase of the cycle. This phase is then adjusted to provide a phase adjustment factor, which plays a critical role in determining the adaptive alpha.
2. **Adaptive Alpha Calculation:**
- The adaptive alpha, a key feature of the AMA, is computed based on the fast and slow limits set by the trader. This alpha is clamped within these limits to ensure the AMA remains appropriately sensitive to market conditions. The dynamic adjustment of alpha allows the AMA to be highly responsive in volatile markets and more conservative in stable markets.
3. **Crossover Detection:**
- The indicator generates trading signals based on crossovers between the AMA and FAMA:
- **CrossUp:** When the AMA crosses above the FAMA, it indicates a potential bullish trend, suggesting a buy opportunity.
- **CrossDown:** When the AMA crosses below the FAMA, it signals a potential bearish trend, indicating a sell opportunity.
4. **RSI Confirmation:**
- To enhance the reliability of these crossover signals, the indicator uses the RSI to confirm overbought and oversold conditions:
- **Buy Signal:** A buy signal is generated only when the AMA crosses above the FAMA and the RSI confirms an oversold condition, ensuring that the signal aligns with a momentum reversal from a low point.
- **Sell Signal:** A sell signal is triggered when the AMA crosses below the FAMA and the RSI confirms an overbought condition, indicating a momentum reversal from a high point.
5. **Signal Management:**
- To prevent signal redundancy during strong trends, the indicator tracks the last generated signal (buy or sell) and ensures that the next signal is only issued when there is a genuine reversal in trend direction.
6. **Signal Visualization:**
- **Buy Signals:** The indicator plots a "BUY" label below the bar when a buy signal is generated, using a green color to clearly mark the entry point.
- **Sell Signals:** A "SELL" label is plotted above the bar when a sell signal is detected, marked in red to indicate an exit or shorting opportunity.
- **Bar Coloring (Optional):** Traders have the option to enable bar coloring, where green bars indicate a bullish trend (AMA above FAMA) and red bars indicate a bearish trend (AMA below FAMA), providing a visual representation of the market’s direction.
**Customization Options:**
- **Source:** Traders can select the price data input that best suits their strategy (e.g., close, open, high, low, or custom indicators).
- **Fast Limit:** Adjustable sensitivity for the fast response of the AMA, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to different market conditions.
- **Slow Limit:** Sets the slower boundary for the AMA’s sensitivity, providing stability in less volatile markets.
- **RSI Length:** The period for the RSI calculation can be adjusted to fit different trading timeframes.
- **Overbought/Oversold Levels:** These thresholds can be customized to define the RSI levels that trigger buy or sell confirmations.
- **Enable Bar Colors:** Traders can choose whether to enable bar coloring based on the AMA/FAMA relationship, enhancing visual clarity.
