Better RSI with bullish / bearish market cycle indicator This script improves the default RSI. First. it identifies regions of the RSI which are oversold and overbought by changing the color of RSI from white to red. Second, it adds additional reference lines at 20,40,50,60, and 80 to better gauge the RSI value. Finally, the coolest feature, the middle 50 line is used to indicate which cycle the price is currently at. A green color at the 50 line indicates a bullish cycle, a red color indicators a bearish cycle, and a white color indicates a neutral cycle.
The cycles are determined using the RSI as follows:
if RSI is overbought, cycle switches to bullish until RSI falls below 40, at which point it becomes neutral
if RSI is oversold, cycle switches bearish until RSI rises above 60, at which point it becomes neutral
a neutral cycle is exited at either overbought or oversold conditions
Very useful, please give it a try and let me know what you think

Inertia Indicator The inertia indicator measures the market, stock or currency pair momentum and
trend by measuring the security smoothed RVI (Relative Volatility Index).
The RVI is a technical indicator that estimates the general direction of the
volatility of an asset.
The inertia indicator returns a value that is comprised between 0 and 100.
Positive inertia occurs when the indicator value is higher than 50. As long as
the inertia value is above 50, the long-term trend of the security is up. The inertia
is negative when its value is lower than 50, in this case the long-term trend is
down and should stay down if the inertia stays below 50
GC RSI Columns V2016This is a basic RSI indicator but in column format.I had been using this for a while and it gives a nice visual representation of trend change by changing color of the column.
Base line is 50 level. Anything above 50 is buy opportunity and below 50 is sell opportunity . Try it on higher time frames and see the results.
Example on chart above.

Golden Cross, SMA 200 Moving Average Strategy (by ChartArt)This famous moving average strategy is very easy to follow to decide when to buy (go long) and when to take profit.
The strategy goes long when the faster SMA 50 (the simple moving average of the last 50 bars) crosses above the slower SMA 200. Orders are closed when the SMA 50 crosses below the SMA 200. This simple strategy does not have any other stop loss or take profit money management logic. The strategy does not short and goes long only!
Here is an article explaining the "golden cross" strategy in more detail:
www.stockopedia.com
On the S&P 500 index (symbol "SPX") this strategy worked on the daily chart 81% since price data is available since 1982. And on the DOW Jones Industrial Average (symbol "DOWI") this strategy worked on the daily chart 55% since price data is available since 1916. The low number of trades is in both cases not statistically significant though.
All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
Forex Master v4.0 (EUR/USD Mean-Reversion Algorithm)DESCRIPTION
Forex Master v4.0 is a mean-reversion algorithm currently optimized for trading the EUR/USD pair on the 5M chart interval. All indicator inputs use the period's closing price and all trades are executed at the open of the period following the period where the trade signal was generated.
There are 3 main components that make up Forex Master v4.0:
I. Trend Filter
The algorithm uses a version of the ADX indicator as a trend filter to trade only in certain time periods where price is more likely to be range-bound (i.e., mean-reverting). This indicator is composed of a Fast ADX and a Slow ADX, both using the same look-back period of 50. However, the Fast ADX is smoothed with a 6-period EMA and the Slow ADX is smoothed with a 12-period EMA. When the Fast ADX is above the Slow ADX, the algorithm does not trade because this indicates that price is likelier to trend, which is bad for a mean-reversion system. Conversely, when the Fast ADX is below the Slow ADX, price is likelier to be ranging so this is the only time when the algorithm is allowed to trade.
II. Bollinger Bands
When allowed to trade by the Trend Filter, the algorithm uses the Bollinger Bands indicator to enter long and short positions. The Bolliger Bands indicator has a look-back period of 20 and a standard deviation of 1.5 for both upper and lower bands. When price crosses over the lower band, a Long Signal is generated and a long position is entered. When price crosses under the upper band, a Short Signal is generated and a short position is entered.
III. Money Management
Rule 1 - Each trade will use a limit order for a fixed quantity of 50,000 contracts (0.50 lot). The only exception is Rule
Rule 2 - Order pyramiding is enabled and up to 10 consecutive orders of the same signal can be executed (for example: 14 consecutive Long Signals are generated over 8 hours and the algorithm sends in 10 different buy orders at various prices for a total of 350,000 contracts).
Rule 3 - Every order will include a bracket with both TP and SL set at 50 pips (note: the algorithm only closes the current open position and does not enter the opposite trade once a TP or SL has been hit).
Rule 4 - When a new opposite trade signal is generated, the algorithm sends in a larger order to close the current open position as well as open a new one (for example: 14 consecutive Long Signals are generated over 8 hours and the algorithm sends in 10 different buy orders at various prices for a total of 350,000 contracts. A Short Signal is generated shortly after the 14th Long Signal. The algorithm then sends in a sell order for 400,000 contracts to close the 350,000 contracts long position and open a new short position of 50,000 contracts).
RSI-EMA IndicatorThis indicator calculates and plots 2 separate EMAs of the RSI. The default settings below work great on SPX/SPY daily chart. General rule is if an EMA is above 50, the stock's near term outlook is bullish. If an EMA is below 50, the near term outlook is bearish. Personally, I like to use a fast EMA as a buy signal and a slow EMA as a sell signal.
Default settings:
RSI = 50
EMA1 = 100
EMA2 = 200

Fixes an issue with "Combined" mode, using wrong symbols.
--- Original ---
The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows.
Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more new highs than new lows. 0 indicates there were zero new highs (0% new highs). 100 indicates there was at least 1 new high and no new lows (100% new highs). 50 indicates that new highs and new lows were equal (50% new highs).
Readings consistently above 70 usually coincide with a strong uptrend. Readings consistently below 30 usually coincide with a strong downtrend.

3 projection Indicators - PBands, PO & PBAll these indicators are by Mel Widner.
Projection Bands :
-------------------------------------------------------
These project market data along the trend with the maxima and minima of the projections defining the band. The method provides a way to signal potential direction changes relative to the trend. Usage is like any other trading band.
Projection Oscillator :
-------------------------------------------------------
This indicates the relative position of price with in the bands. It fluctuates between the values 0 to 100. You can configure the "basis" to make it oscillate around a specific value (for ex., basis=50 will make it oscillate between +50 and -50). EMA of PO (length configurable, default is 5) is plotted as a signal line. There is also an option to plot the difference (oscillator - signal), just like MACD histogram. When you see a divergence in this oscillator, remember that it just indicates a potential movement with in the band (for ex., a bullish divergence shown may cause the price to cross the median and move up to the top band).
Projection Bandwidth :
-------------------------------------------------------
This shows the % width of the projection bands. A trend reversal is signaled by a high value. Low value may indicate the start of a new trend. This is also a trend strength indicator.

VCP + TTM Squeeze Breakout Detection ToolThis open-source script combines two powerful concepts into a single breakout detection tool:
1. **VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)**
Based on Mark Minervini’s principle of structured volatility contraction.
The script identifies low ATR environments combined with a strong trend filter using EMA 50, EMA 100, and EMA 200.
A pivot high is fixed using a rolling high from the last X candles.
2. **TTM Squeeze (inspired by Beardy_Fred's Pro version)**
This module compares Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels.
When the Bollinger Bands fit inside the Keltner Channels, it signals volatility compression.
The script classifies the squeeze intensity into four stages using colored dots:
- **Green:** No squeeze
- **Black:** Light compression
- **Red:** Medium compression
- **Orange:** Strong compression
A linear momentum oscillator adds directional confirmation by plotting aqua bars above price if momentum is positive.
---
### **Signal Logic**
- **Yellow Dots (Setup Potential)**
Appear when VCP criteria are met **and** either momentum is bearish or the squeeze is still active (non-green).
- **Green Dots (Breakout Active)**
Appear only when:
- Price breaks above pivot high
- EMA filter is valid
- Squeeze has resolved (green)
- Volume is higher than the previous bar
- Momentum is positive
Breakout status is removed once volume AND true range drop below their respective short-term averages.
---
### **Visual Elements**
- 3 EMA Lines: EMA 50 (blue), EMA 100 (orange), EMA 200 (red)
- Pivot line (red), based on recent high
- Colored squeeze state (dots at zero line)
- Yellow dots (pre-breakout tension)
- Green dots (confirmed breakout)
- Aqua bars above price (momentum strength)

Order Block Volumatic FVG StrategyInspired by: Volumatic Fair Value Gaps —
License: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–ShareAlike).
This script is a non-commercial derivative work that credits the original author and keeps the same license.
What this strategy does
This turns BigBeluga’s visual FVG concept into an entry/exit strategy. It scans bullish and bearish FVG boxes, measures how deep price has mitigated into a box (as a percentage), and opens a long/short when your mitigation threshold and filters are satisfied. Risk is managed with a fixed Stop Loss % and a Trailing Stop that activates only after a user-defined profit trigger.
Additions vs. the original indicator
✅ Strategy entries based on % mitigation into FVGs (long/short).
✅ Lower-TF volume split using upticks/downticks; fallback if LTF data is missing (distributes prior bar volume by close’s position in its H–L range) to avoid NaN/0.
✅ Per-FVG total volume filter (min/max) so you can skip weak boxes.
✅ Age filter (min bars since the FVG was created) to avoid fresh/immature boxes.
✅ Bull% / Bear% share filter (the 46%/53% numbers you see inside each FVG).
✅ Optional candle confirmation and cooldown between trades.
✅ Risk management: fixed SL % + Trailing Stop with a profit trigger (doesn’t trail until your trigger is reached).
✅ Pine v6 safety: no unsupported args, no indexof/clamp/when, reverse-index deletes, guards against zero/NaN.
How a trade is decided (logic overview)
Detect FVGs (same rules as the original visual logic).
For each FVG currently intersected by the bar, compute:
Mitigation % (how deep price has entered the box).
Bull%/Bear% split (internal volume share).
Total volume (printed on the box) from LTF aggregation or fallback.
Age (bars) since the box was created.
Apply your filters:
Mitigation ≥ Long/Short threshold.
Volume between your min and max (if enabled).
Age ≥ min bars (if enabled).
Bull% / Bear% within your limits (if enabled).
(Optional) the current candle must be in trade direction (confirm).
If multiple FVGs qualify on the same bar, the strategy uses the most recent one.
Enter long/short (no pyramiding).
Exit with:
Fixed Stop Loss %, and
Trailing Stop that only starts after price reaches your profit trigger %.
Input settings (quick guide)
Mitigation source: close or high/low. Use high/low for intrabar touches; close is stricter.
Mitigation % thresholds: minimal mitigation for Long and Short.
TOTAL Volume filter: skip FVGs with too little/too much total volume (per box).
Bull/Bear share filter: require, e.g., Long only if Bull% ≥ 50; avoid Short when Bull% is high (Short Bull% max).
Age filter (bars): e.g., ≥ 20–30 bars to avoid fresh boxes.
Confirm candle: require candle direction to match the trade.
Cooldown (bars): minimum bars between entries.
Risk:
Stop Loss % (fixed from entry price).
Activate trailing at +% profit (the trigger).
Trailing distance % (the trailing gap once active).
Lower-TF aggregation:
Auto: TF/Divisor → picks 1/3/5m automatically.
Fixed: choose 1/3/5/15m explicitly.
If LTF can’t be fetched, fallback allocates prior bar’s volume by its close position in the bar’s H–L.
Suggested starting presets (you should optimize per market)
Mitigation: 60–80% for both Long/Short.
Bull/Bear share:
Long: Bull% ≥ 50–70, Bear% ≤ 100.
Short: Bull% ≤ 60 (avoid shorting into strong support), Bear% ≥ 0–70 as you prefer.
Age: ≥ 20–30 bars.
Volume: pick a min that filters noise for your symbol/timeframe.
Risk: SL 4–6%, trailing trigger 1–2%, distance 1–2% (crypto example).
Set slippage/fees in Strategy Properties.
Notes, limitations & best practices
Data differences: The LTF split uses request.security_lower_tf. If the exchange/data feed has sparse LTF data, the fallback kicks in (it’s deliberate to avoid NaNs but is a heuristic).
Real-time vs backtest: The current bar can update until close; results on historical bars use closed data. Use “Bar Replay” to understand intrabar effects.
No pyramiding: Only one position at a time. Modify pyramiding in the header if you need scaling.
Assets: For spot/crypto, TradingView “volume” is exchange volume; in some markets it may be tick volume—interpret filters accordingly.
Risk disclosure: Past performance ≠ future results. Use appropriate position sizing and risk controls; this is not financial advice.

RSI: alternative derivationMost traders accept the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as a standard tool for measuring momentum. But what if RSI is actually a position indicator?
This script introduces an alternative derivation of RSI, offering a fresh perspective on its true nature. Instead of relying on the traditional calculation of average gains and losses, this approach directly considers the price's position relative to its equilibrium (moving average), adjusted for volatility.
While the final value remains identical to the standard RSI, this alternative derivation offers a completely new understanding of the indicator.
Key components:
Price (Close)
Utilizes the closing price, consistent with the original RSI formula.
normalization factor
Transforms raw calculations into a fixed range between -1 and +1.
normalization_factor = 1 / (Length - 1)
EMA of Price
Applies Wilder’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the price, serving as the anchor point for measuring price position, similar to the traditional RSI formula.
myEMA = ta.rma(close,Length)
EMA of close-to-close absolute changes (unit of volatility)
Adjusts for market differences by applying a Wilder’s EMA to absolute price changes (volatility), ensuring consistency across various assets.
CC_vol = ta.rma(math.abs(close - close ),Length)
Calculation Breakdown
DISTANCE:
Calculate the difference between the closing price and its Wilder's EMA. A positive value indicates the price is above the EMA; a negative value indicates it is below.
distance = close - myEMA
STANDARDIZED DISTANCE
Divide the distance by the unit of volatility to standardize the measurement across different markets.
S_distance = distance / CC_vol
NORMALIZED DISTANCE
Normalize the standardized distance using the normalization factor (n-1) to adjust for the lookback period.
N_distance = S_distance * normalization_factor
RSI
Finally, scale the normalized distance to fit within the standard RSI range of 0 to 100.
myRSI = 50 * (1 + N_distance)
The final equation:
RSI = 50 ×
What This Means for RSI
Same RSI Values, Different Interpretation
The standard RSI formula may obscure its true measurement, whereas this approach offers clarity.
RSI primarily indicates the price's position relative to its equilibrium, rather than directly measuring momentum.
RSI can still be used to analyze momentum, but in a more intuitive and well-informed way.
Adaptive Heikin Ashi [CHE]Adaptive Heikin Ashi — volatility-aware HA with fewer fake flips
Summary
Adaptive Heikin Ashi is a volatility-aware reinterpretation of classic Heikin Ashi that continuously adjusts its internal smoothing based on the current ATR regime, which means that in quiet markets the indicator reacts more quickly to genuine directional changes, while in turbulent phases it deliberately increases its smoothing to suppress jitter and color whipsaws, thereby reducing “noise” and cutting down on fake flips without resorting to heavy fixed smoothing that would lag everywhere.
Motivation: why adapt at all?
Classic Heikin Ashi replaces raw OHLC candles with a smoothed construction that averages price and blends each new candle with the previous HA state, which typically cleans up trends and improves visual coherence, yet its fixed smoothing amount treats calm and violent markets the same, leading to the usual dilemma where a setting that looks crisp in a narrow range becomes too nervous in a spike, and a setting that tames high volatility feels unnecessarily sluggish as soon as conditions normalize; by allowing the smoothing weight to expand and contract with volatility, Adaptive HA aims to keep candles readable across shifting regimes without constant manual retuning.
What is different from normal Heikin Ashi?
Fixed vs. adaptive blend:
Classic HA implicitly uses a fixed 50/50 blend for the open update (`HA_open_t = 0.5 HA_open_{t-1} + 0.5 HA_close_{t-1}`), while this script replaces the constant 0.5 with a dynamic weight `w_t` that oscillates around 0.5 as a function of observed volatility, which turns the open update into an EMA-like filter whose “alpha” automatically changes with market conditions.
Volatility as the steering signal:
The script measures volatility via ATR and compares it to a rolling baseline (SMA of ATR over the same length), producing a normalized deviation that is scaled by sensitivity, clamped to ±1 for stability, and then mapped to a bounded weight interval ` `, so the adaptation is strong enough to matter but never runs away.
Outcome that matters to traders:
In high volatility, the weight shifts upward toward the prior HA open, which strengthens smoothing exactly where classic HA tends to “chatter,” while in low volatility the weight shifts downward toward the most recent HA close, which speeds up reaction so quiet trends do not feel artificially delayed; this is the practical mechanism by which noise and fake signals are reduced without accepting blanket lag.
How it works
1. HA close matches classic HA:
`HA_close_t = (Open_t + High_t + Low_t + Close_t) / 4`
2. Volatility normalization:
`ATR_t` is computed over `atr_length`, its baseline is `ATR_SMA_t = SMA(ATR, atr_length)`, and the raw deviation is `(ATR_t / ATR_SMA_t − 1)`, which is then scaled by `adapt_sensitivity` and clamped to ` ` to obtain `v_t`, ensuring that pathological spikes cannot destabilize the weighting.
3. Adaptive weight around 0.5:
`w_t = 0.5 + oscillation_range v_t`, giving `w_t ∈ `, so with a default `range = 0.20` the weight stays between 0.30 and 0.70, which is wide enough to matter but narrow enough to preserve HA identity.
4. EMA-like open update:
On the very first bar the open is seeded from a stable combination of the raw open and close, and thereafter the update is
`HA_open_t = w_t HA_open_{t−1} + (1 − w_t) HA_close_{t−1}`,
which is equivalent to an EMA where higher `w_t` means heavier inertia (more smoothing) and lower `w_t` means stronger pull to the latest price information (more responsiveness).
5. High and low follow classic HA composition:
`HA_high_t = max(High_t, max(HA_open_t, HA_close_t))`,
`HA_low_t = min(Low_t, min(HA_open_t, HA_close_t))`,
thereby keeping visual semantics consistent with standard HA so that your existing reading of bodies, wicks, and transitions still applies.
Why this reduces noise and fake signals in practice
Fake flips in HA typically occur when a fixed blending rule is forced to process candles during a volatility surge, producing rapid alternations around pivots or within wide intrabar ranges; by increasing smoothing exactly when ATR jumps relative to its baseline, the adaptive open stabilizes the candle body progression and suppresses transient color changes, while in the opposite scenario of compressed ranges, the reduced smoothing allows small but persistent directional pressure to reflect in candle color earlier, which reduces the tendency to enter late after multiple slow transitions.
Parameter guide (what each input really does)
ATR Length (default 14): controls both the ATR and its baseline window, where longer values dampen the adaptation by making the baseline slower and the deviation smaller, which is helpful for noisy lower timeframes, while shorter values make the regime detector more reactive.
Oscillation Range (default 0.20): sets the maximum distance from 0.5 that the weight may travel, so increasing it towards 0.25–0.30 yields stronger smoothing in turbulence and faster response in calm periods, whereas decreasing it to 0.10–0.15 keeps the behavior closer to classical HA and is useful if your strategy already includes heavy downstream smoothing.
Adapt Sensitivity (default 6.0): multiplies the normalized ATR deviation before clamping, such that higher sensitivity accelerates adaptation to regime shifts, while lower sensitivity produces gradual transitions; negative values intentionally invert the mapping (higher vol → less smoothing) and are generally not recommended unless you are testing a counter-intuitive hypothesis.
Reading the candles and the optional diagnostic
You interpret colors and bodies just like with normal HA, but you can additionally enable the Adaptive Weight diagnostic plot to see the regime in real time, where values drifting up toward the upper bound indicate a turbulent context that is being deliberately smoothed, and values gliding down toward the lower bound indicate a calm environment in which the indicator chooses to move faster, which can be valuable for discretionary confirmation when deciding whether a fresh color shift is likely to stick.
Practical workflows and combinations
Trend-following entries: use color continuity and body expansion as usual, but expect fewer spurious alternations around news spikes or into liquidity gaps; pairing with structure (swing highs/lows, breaks of internal ranges) keeps entries disciplined.
Exit management: when the diagnostic weight remains elevated for an extended period, you can be stricter with exit triggers because flips are less likely to be accidental noise; conversely, when the weight is depressed, consider earlier partials since the indicator is intentionally more nimble.
Multi-asset, multi-TF: the adaptation is especially helpful if you rotate instruments with very different vol profiles or hop across timeframes, since you will not need to retune a fixed smoothing parameter every time conditions change.
Behavior, constraints, and performance
The script does not repaint historical bars and uses only past information on closed candles, yet just like any candle-based visualization the current live bar will update until it closes, so you should avoid acting on mid-bar flips without a rule that accounts for bar close; there are no `security()` calls or higher-timeframe lookups, which keeps performance light and execution deterministic, and the clamping of the volatility signal ensures numerical stability even during extreme ATR spikes.
Sensible defaults and quick tuning
Start with the defaults (`ATR 14`, `Range 0.20`, `Sensitivity 6.0`) and observe the weight plot across a few volatile events; if you still see too many flips in turbulence, either raise `Range` to 0.25 or trim `Sensitivity` to 4–5 so that the weight can move high but does not overreact, and if the indicator feels too slow in quiet markets, lower `Range` toward 0.15 or raise `Sensitivity` to 7–8 to bias the weight a bit more aggressively downward when conditions compress.
What this indicator is—and is not
Adaptive Heikin Ashi is a context-aware visualization layer that improves the signal-to-noise ratio and reduces fake flips by modulating smoothing with volatility, but it is not a complete trading system, it does not predict the future, and it should be combined with structure, risk controls, and position management that fit your market and timeframe; always forward-test on your instruments, and remember that even adaptive smoothing can delay recognition at sharp turning points when volatility remains elevated.
