ATR-Normalized VWMA DeviationThis indicator measures how far price deviates from the Volume-Weighted Moving Average ( VWMA ), normalized by market volatility ( ATR ). It identifies significant price reversal points by combining price structure and volatility-adjusted deviation behavior.
The core idea is to use VWMA as a dynamic trend anchor, then measure how far price travels away from it relative to recent volatility . This helps highlight when price has stretched too far and may be due for a reversal or pullback.
How it works:
VWMA deviation is calculated as the difference between price and the VWMA.
That deviation is divided by ATR (Average True Range) to normalize for current volatility.
The script tracks the highest and lowest normalized deviations over the chosen lookback period.
It also tracks price structure (highest/lowest highs/lows) over the same period.
A reversal signal is generated when a historical extreme in deviation aligns with a price structure extreme, and a confirmed reversal candle forms.
You get visual signals and color highlights where these conditions occur.
Settings explained:
Lookback period defines how many bars the script uses to find recent extremes.
ATR length controls how volatility is measured.
VWMA length controls how the volume-weighted moving average is calculated.
Signal filters help refine entries based on price vs deviation behavior.
Display options let you customize how signals and levels appear on the chart.
This indicator is especially useful for spotting potential turning points where price has moved far from VWMA relative to volatility, suggesting possible exhaustion or overextension.
Tips for use:
Combine with broader trend context (higher timeframe support/resistance).
Use with risk management rules (position sizing, stops) — signals are guides, not guaranteed entries.
Adjust lookback and ATR settings based on your trading timeframe and asset volatility.
Weighted ATRWeighted ATR is a volatility indicator that computes True Range and smooths it using a selectable kernel (native Wilder ATR, SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA). It outputs a single volatility line in price units for risk sizing, stop distances, and regime filtering.
Simple ATR Volatility Context v1.0This indicator provides a simple visual view of market volatility using ATR expressed as a percentage of price. It is designed to help identify when a market transitions from low-activity (compression) to higher-activity (expansion).
What it does
Calculates ATR as a percentage of price
Highlights the chart when volatility exceeds a user-defined threshold
Helps distinguish between quiet markets and trade-worthy conditions
How to use it
Green background indicates elevated volatility
Neutral / muted background indicates low volatility
Use alongside your own trend, structure, or entry tools
What this is not
Not a buy or sell signal
Not predictive
No performance claims
This tool is intended for market context and awareness, not standalone trading decisions.
SMA MAD Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines Simple Moving Average with Mean Absolute Deviation methodology to create adaptive Super Trend-style bands with advanced strength filtering and gradient visualization. Utilizing ADX-based trend strength validation and slope analysis for signal quality enhancement, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with dynamic ATR-based ribbon visualization and comprehensive strength measurement. The system's dual-filter architecture eliminates false signals during weak or choppy market conditions while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend establishment and reversal events.
🔶 Advanced SMA-MAD Band Construction
Implements innovative Mean Absolute Deviation calculation around Simple Moving Average baseline to create volatility-adaptive bands with ratcheting logic for trend persistence. The system calculates MAD by measuring absolute price deviations from the mean, then applies configurable multipliers to generate upper and lower bands that adjust to changing market conditions while preventing premature band violations.
// Core SMA-MAD Framework
SMA_Value = ta.sma(close, SMA_Length)
Mean = ta.sma(close, MAD_Length)
Abs_Deviation = abs(close - Mean)
MAD_Value = ta.sma(Abs_Deviation, MAD_Length)
// Adaptive Bands
Upper_Band = SMA_Value + MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
Lower_Band = SMA_Value - MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
🔶 Intelligent Dual-Filter System
Features comprehensive trend validation using ADX strength measurement and slope analysis to eliminate low-conviction signals during ranging or consolidating markets. The system calculates normalized slope strength using ATR scaling and combines with ADX threshold analysis, generating filtered trend states that distinguish genuine trends from temporary price fluctuations.
🔶 Dynamic Trend Strength Engine
Implements sophisticated strength calculation combining slope intensity and ADX readings to produce normalized 0-100% strength scores with gradient colour intensity modulation. The system normalizes slope by minimum threshold and ADX by configurable level, multiplying factors to create composite strength measurement that drives visual feedback intensity across all indicator elements.
🔶 Super Trend-Style Direction Logic
Utilizes classic Super Trend methodology adapted for SMA-MAD bands, where trend direction flips occur on opposite band violations with persistent state maintenance. The system tracks previous band levels with ratcheting behaviour that adjusts bands only when price movement or new calculations warrant changes, preventing oscillation during normal volatility.
🔶 ATR-Based Ribbon Visualization
Provides dynamic ribbon overlay using ATR-scaled width around the trend line with opacity modulation based on trend strength for intuitive conviction assessment. The system creates upper and lower ribbon bounds at configurable ATR multiples, filling the channel with gradient-adjusted transparency that increases during strong trends and fades during weak conditions.
🔶 Multi-Dimensional Visual Architecture
Provides complete chart integration through trend line overlay, ATR ribbon fills, candle colouring, background glow, and transition signal labels with configurable visibility toggles. The system enables traders to customize display density from minimal (trend line only) to comprehensive (all visual elements) while maintaining consistent colour scheme and strength-based intensity across components.
🔶 Slope Strength Validation
Calculates ATR-normalized slope over configurable lookback periods to measure trend line momentum and filter sideways price action. The system compares absolute slope against minimum threshold requirements, preventing trend signals when price movement relative to the trend line lacks sufficient directional conviction regardless of band position.
🔶 Signal Generation Framework
Generates trend change signals when filtered direction state transitions from bearish to bullish or vice versa, with label placement and alert integration. The system implements state persistence that maintains previous trend until both ADX and slope filters confirm directional change, reducing whipsaw signals while capturing genuine reversals with minimal lag.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient calculation methods with optimized variable management and configurable parameters for balance between responsiveness and stability. The system includes intelligent state tracking with NA handling for initial bars and smooth gradient calculations that maintain performance across extended historical periods and real-time updates.
This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through Mean Absolute Deviation methodology combined with dual-strength filtering for superior signal quality. Unlike traditional Super Trend indicators that rely solely on ATR bands, the SMA-MAD approach uses statistical deviation measurement while incorporating ADX strength and slope validation to eliminate false signals during choppy conditions. The system's gradient-based visual feedback, ATR ribbon visualization, comprehensive dashboard, and multi-dimensional filtering make it essential for traders seeking reliable trend-following approaches with clear conviction measurement across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The combination of adaptive bands, strength-based transparency, and intelligent filtering creates an institutional-grade trend system suitable for systematic trading strategies.
Volatility State Index [Interakktive]The Volatility State Index (VSI) classifies market volatility into three behavioral states: Expansion, Decay, and Transition. It answers one question visually: Is volatility supporting price movement, withdrawing, or unstable?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators that show levels or bands, VSI diagnoses the current volatility regime so traders can adapt their approach accordingly.
█ WHAT IT DOES
• Classifies volatility into three states: Expansion (teal), Decay (grey), Transition (amber)
• Measures volatility momentum as a percentage rate-of-change
• Applies stability filtering to detect unstable/choppy conditions
• Uses persistence logic to prevent state flickering
• Exports state data for use in alerts and strategies
█ WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• NO buy/sell signals
• NO entry/exit recommendations
• NO alerts (v1 is diagnostic only)
• NO performance claims
This is a volatility diagnostic tool, not a trading system.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The VSI processes volatility through a five-stage pipeline:
STAGE 1 — Base Volatility
Calculates ATR as the foundation for volatility measurement.
STAGE 2 — Smoothing
Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise in the volatility series.
STAGE 3 — Volatility Momentum
Computes the percentage rate-of-change of smoothed volatility:
Volatility Momentum (%) = ((Current ATR - Previous ATR) / Previous ATR) × 100
Positive values indicate expanding volatility; negative values indicate contracting volatility.
STAGE 4 — Stability Filter
Tracks how frequently volatility momentum changes direction. Frequent sign changes indicate unstable, choppy conditions.
Stability Score = 1 - (Average Flip Rate)
Low stability forces the Transition state regardless of momentum level.
STAGE 5 — State Classification
Combines momentum thresholds and stability to determine the final state:
• Expansion: Momentum ≥ +5% (default threshold)
• Decay: Momentum ≤ -5% (default threshold)
• Transition: Between thresholds OR low stability
A persistence filter requires states to hold for multiple bars before confirming, preventing visual noise.
█ INTERPRETATION
EXPANSION (Teal)
Volatility is increasing in a sustained way. Price moves are becoming larger.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to follow through
• Stops may need wider placement
• Trend-following approaches tend to work better
• Mean-reversion weakens
DECAY (Grey)
Volatility is decreasing. Price is compressing into tighter ranges.
What it suggests:
• Breakouts are more likely to fail
• Ranges tend to hold
• Trend-following underperforms
• Mean-reversion strengthens
TRANSITION (Amber)
Volatility behavior is unclear or unstable. This is NOT neutral — it is uncertainty.
What it suggests:
• Mixed signals — one bar huge, next bar dead
• Higher whipsaw risk
• Reduced conviction in either direction
• Consider waiting for clarity
The key insight: Amber is a warning, not a middle ground. It appears when volatility cannot decide what it wants to do.
█ VISUAL DESIGN
The indicator uses a state-first histogram design:
• Histogram height shows volatility momentum percentage
• Histogram color shows the classified state
• Zero line provides visual anchor
• Optional momentum line for confirmation
• Optional background tint (default OFF for clean charts)
The visual hierarchy prioritizes instant state recognition. A trader should understand the volatility environment in under one second without reading numbers.
█ INPUTS
Core Settings
• ATR Length: Base volatility measurement period (default: 14)
• Smoothing Length: EMA smoothing applied to ATR (default: 10)
• Momentum Length: Rate-of-change lookback (default: 10)
State Classification
• Expansion Threshold (%): Momentum above this = Expansion (default: 5.0)
• Decay Threshold (%): Momentum below this = Decay (default: -5.0)
• Persistence Bars: Bars required to confirm state change (default: 3)
• Stability Lookback: Window for stability calculation (default: 20)
• Stability Threshold: Below this = forced Transition (default: 0.5)
Visual Settings
• Show State Histogram: Toggle main display (default: ON)
• Show Momentum Line: Thin confirmation line (default: OFF)
• Show Zero Line: Baseline reference (default: ON)
• Show Background Tint: Subtle state coloring (default: OFF)
█ DATA WINDOW EXPORTS
When enabled, the following values are exported:
• ATR (Raw)
• ATR (Smoothed)
• Volatility Momentum (%)
• Stability Score (0-1)
• State (-1/0/1): Decay = -1, Transition = 0, Expansion = 1
• Is Expansion (0/1)
• Is Decay (0/1)
• Is Transition (0/1)
These exports allow VSI to be used as a filter in Pine Script strategies or alert conditions.
█ ORIGINALITY
While ATR and volatility indicators are common, VSI is original because it:
1. Classifies volatility into behavioral states rather than showing raw levels
2. Applies momentum analysis to volatility itself (rate-of-change of ATR)
3. Uses stability filtering to detect genuinely unstable conditions
4. Implements persistence logic to prevent state flickering
5. Provides a state-first visual design optimized for instant recognition
VSI is state-first: it classifies volatility regimes (Expansion/Decay/Transition) rather than plotting volatility level alone, using momentum and stability to reduce false regime reads.
This is not a modified ATR or Bollinger Band — it is a volatility regime classifier.
█ SUITABLE MARKETS
Works on: Stocks, Futures, Forex, Crypto
Timeframes: All timeframes — state classification adapts accordingly
Best on: Instruments with consistent volatility patterns
█ RELATED
• Market Efficiency Ratio — measures price path efficiency
• Effort-Result Divergence — compares volume effort to price result

At this threshold, the probability of price reverting to mean increases substantially, creating higher-probability trade setups for SIYL practitioners.
Benefits for regression traders:
- Identify optimal entry points when mean reversion probability is highest (≥80% ATR coverage)
- Avoid premature regression entries before adequate range has been established
- Recognize when daily moves have "earned their range" and are ripe for reversal
- Time fade-the-move and counter-trend strategies with statistical backing
- Improve win rates by trading only after proven probability thresholds are met
⚙️ Setup Instructions:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Select your preferred "Reset Mode" (recommend "Custom Session" for futures/international markets)
3. If using Custom Session, enter your session times in 24-hour format (e.g., 0930-1600 for US stocks, 1700-1600 for CME futures)
4. Adjust alert thresholds if desired (default: 80% and 100% - proven SIYL thresholds)
5. Position the display where it's most visible on your chart
📈 Works Across All Markets:
Stocks • Futures • Forex • Indices • Crypto • Commodities
Perfect for regression traders, mean reversion specialists, and SIYL practitioners who want to trade with probability on their side by entering only after the session has "earned its range."

TRV & nTRV - Trimmed Range VolatilityGrid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.Grid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.
Why We Developed TRV?
When a gap or sudden spike occurs in the morning, this extreme movement affects standard ATR calculations for an extended period. Even if the price moves sideways for the rest of the day, ATR remains elevated. This causes grid bots to operate with unnecessarily wide spacing and execute fewer trades.
TRV Advantages:
✅ Unaffected by Gaps: Opening gaps don't distort the calculation
✅ Extreme Point Elimination: Filters the largest and smallest outlier candles
✅ Real-Time Accuracy: Shows current market volatility
✅ Grid Bot Optimization: Enables tighter and more efficient grid spacing
✅ Comparison Capability: Compare different stocks and timeframes with nTRV
Grid Bot Usage:
The TRV value is used directly to calculate the number of grid lines:
(Resistance - Support) / TRV = Number of Grid Lines
Example:
Resistance: $110
Support: $90
TRV: $2
Grid Count: (110-90)/2 = 10 grid lines
Features:
Two Filtering Modes: Manual (enter number) or Percentage-Based (automatic ratio)
Four Indicators in One: nTRV, TRV, ATR, and nATR all displayed on the same panel
nTRV: Normalized value (percentage-based, for stock comparison)
TRV: Absolute value (currency-based, for grid calculation)
ATR & nATR Included: Standard ATR and nATR for direct comparison with TRV
Comprehensive Analysis: Compare filtered (TRV) vs unfiltered (ATR) volatility side-by-side
Default: 10% top, 10% bottom outlier elimination
Conclusion:
TRV is an advanced version of ATR specifically designed for grid bot traders. By filtering outlier movements, it provides more stable and reliable volatility measurement. The indicator includes both TRV (filtered) and ATR (unfiltered) on the same chart, giving traders a comprehensive view to make informed decisions. This dual-display approach enables more efficient grid strategies and increased trading frequency.
[SM-021] Gaussian Trend System [Optimized]This script is a comprehensive trend-following strategy centered around a Gaussian Channel. It is designed to capture significant market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases. This version (v2) introduces code optimizations using Pine Script v6 Arrays and a new Intraday Time Control feature.
1. Core Methodology & Math
The foundation of this strategy is the Gaussian Filter, originally conceptualized by @DonovanWall.
Gaussian Poles: Unlike standard moving averages (SMA/EMA), this filter uses "poles" (referencing signal processing logic) to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness.
Array Optimization: In this specific iteration, the f_pole function has been refactored to utilize Pine Script Arrays. This improves calculation efficiency and rendering speed compared to recursive variable calls, especially when calculating deep historical data.
Channel Logic: The strategy calculates a "Filtered True Range" to create High and Low bands around the main Gaussian line.
Long Entry: Price closes above the High Band.
Short Entry: Price closes below the Low Band.
2. Signal Filtering (Confluence)
To reduce false signals common in trend-following systems, the strategy employs a "confluence" approach using three additional layers:
Baseline Filter: A 200-period (customizable) EMA or SMA acts as a regime filter. Longs are only taken above the baseline; Shorts only below.
ADX Filter (Volatility): The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to measure trend strength. If the ADX is below a user-defined threshold (default: 20), the market is considered "choppy," and new entries are blocked.
Momentum Check: A Stochastic RSI check ensures that momentum aligns with the breakout direction.
3. NEW: Intraday Session Filter
Per user requests, a time-based filter has been added to restrict trading activity to specific market sessions (e.g., the New York Open).
How it works: Users can toggle a checkbox to enable/disable the filter.
Configuration: You can define a specific time range (Default: 09:30 - 16:00) and a specific Timezone (Default: New York).
Logic: The strategy longCondition and shortCondition now check if the current bar's timestamp falls within this window. If outside the window, no new entries are generated, though existing trades are managed normally.
4. Risk Management
The strategy relies on volatility-based exits rather than fixed percentage stops:
ATR Stop Loss: A multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated at the moment of entry to set a dynamic Stop Loss.
ATR Take Profit: An optional Reward-to-Risk (RR) ratio can be set to place a Take Profit target relative to the Stop Loss distance.
Band Exit: If the trend reverses and price crosses the opposite band, the trade is closed immediately to prevent large drawdowns.

It highlights how price interacts with custom sessions, midpoint levels, and dynamic ranges, providing a structured visual layout that helps users observe market behavior over time without implying any form of prediction or trading signal.
## **CONCEPTS**
This indicator incorporates several widely used analytical concepts:
- **Session Ranges:** Identifies user-defined time windows and visually displays their high, low, and midpoint behavior throughout the session.
- **VWAP (Morning Session):** Shows volume-weighted average price calculations for a defined morning period, assisting with visual comparison between price and weighted averages.
- **Daily Pivot Levels:** Displays R1–R2, S1–S2, central pivot, and associated levels derived from prior daily price data.
- **Trend Smoothing:** Uses SuperSmoother filtering and an additional EMA to highlight whether the smoothed trend is rising or falling.
- **EMA + ATR Bands:** Plots a 20-period EMA with upper and lower ATR-derived bands to help visualize short-term price displacement relative to average true range.
All of these elements are presented solely for structural and comparative chart analysis.
## **FEATURES**
- **Custom Session Visualization:** Automatically draws session boxes, capturing the evolving high, low, and midpoint throughout the defined intraday window.
- **Dynamic Midline Calculation:** A midpoint line is updated continuously during the session to visually anchor price within the session’s range.
- **Morning Session VWAP:** Displays a dedicated VWAP line for the morning window with adjustable source and configuration options.
- **Daily Pivot Lines:** Automatically plots pivot, BC/TC, R1–R2, and S1–S2 levels with customizable colors, widths, and line styles.
- **Trend-Responsive Pivot Display:** Optionally toggles visibility of R2 or S2 depending on the direction of the smoothed trend.
- **EMA + ATR Zones:** Renders a 20-EMA and ATR-based support/resistance zone using filled regions for enhanced visual clarity.
- **Full Customization:** Multiple color, transparency, line-style, and display options allow users to adapt the presentation to their charting preferences.
- **Overlay Compatible:** Designed to work directly on price charts without obstructing candles or other overlays.
## **HOW TO USE**
Users can interact with the indicator entirely through the settings panel:
- Adjust session timings to match preferred market hours or custom internal zones.
- Enable or disable the display of pivot levels, VWAP, or the ATR/EMA zone.
- Customize colors and line styles to improve visibility according to the chart background or personal preference.
- Observe how price behaves relative to the session box, midpoint, VWAP, and pivot levels for contextual understanding.
- Utilize the smoothed trend condition to see when the indicator chooses to display certain pivot extensions.
These elements help users interpret chart structure, volatility, and intraday behavior in a visually organized manner.
## **CONCLUSION**
The ** Session Dynamics & Pivot Overlay (Arjo) ** indicator offers a consolidated view of session structure, pivot levels, VWAP, and smoothed trend conditions. Its purpose is to improve visual clarity and assist users in understanding market context without issuing directives or trade suggestions. It functions as an educational tool that enhances chart interpretation and supports structured analysis.

IDWM Master StructureExecutive Summary
The IDWM Master Structure is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) trading tool designed to force discipline by aligning traders with the "Parent" trend. It functions by locking onto the "Completed Auction" of a higher timeframe candle (like a Daily or Weekly bar) and projecting that structure onto your lower timeframe chart. Its primary goal is to define the "Dealing Range"—the hard boundaries where value was previously established—so you don't get lost in the noise of smaller price movements.
1. The Principle of Completed Auctions (Hierarchy)
Most technical indicators curve dynamically with every price tick. This script acts differently because it relies on "Settled Arguments." A closed Daily candle represents a finished battle between buyers and sellers; the High and Low are the historical results of that battle.
To enforce this, the script automatically selects a "Parent" timeframe based on your view:
Scalping (charts below 15 minutes) uses the 4-Hour Auction.
Intraday trading (15 minutes to 4 Hours) uses the Daily Auction.
Swing trading (Daily chart) uses the Weekly Auction.
2. Liquidity Pools & The Sticky Range
The High and Low lines drawn by the indicator are not just support and resistance; they represent Liquidity Pools. In market theory, stop-losses (Sell Stops below Lows, Buy Stops above Highs) accumulate at these edges.
Smart money often pushes price just past these lines to grab this liquidity (a "Stop Hunt") before reversing direction. To account for this, the script uses a "Sticky Range" mechanism. It refuses to redraw the box simply because price touched the line. Instead, it uses an Average True Range (ATR) Buffer. A new structure is only formed if the candle closes decisively outside the range plus this volatility buffer. This ensures you are trading real breakouts, not liquidity sweeps.
3. Internal Range Mechanics (Premium vs. Discount)
Inside the Master Box, the script applies Equilibrium Theory to help with trade location.
The most important internal line is the Equilibrium (EQ), which marks the exact 50% point of the range.
Premium Zone (Above EQ): Price is mathematically "expensive" relative to the recent range. Algorithms generally look to establish Short positions here.
Discount Zone (Below EQ): Price is considered "cheap." Algorithms generally look to establish Long positions here.
It also plots the Master Open, which acts as a "Line in the Sand." If price is currently trading above the Master Open, the higher timeframe candle is Green (Bullish), suggesting longs have a higher probability. If below, the candle is Red (Bearish).
4. Wick Theory (Failed Auctions)
The script places special emphasis on the wicks of the Master Candle because a wick represents a "Failed Auction"—a price level the market tried to explore but ultimately rejected.
The indicator highlights the background of the wick area (from the High to the Body). On a retest, these zones often act as supply or demand blocks because the market remembers the previous failure.
It also calculates the "Consequent Encroachment," which is the 50% midpoint of the wick. The rule of thumb here is that if a candle body can close past 50% of a wick, the rejection is nullified, and price will likely travel to fill the entire wick.
5. Energy Expansion (Breakout Targets)
Market energy transfers from Consolidation (inside the box) to Expansion (the breakout). When the price finally breaks the "Sticky Range" (confirming via the ATR buffer), the script projects where that energy will go.
It uses the height of the previous range to calculate Fibonacci extensions. Specifically, it targets the 1.618 Extension, often called the "Golden Ratio." This is a statistically significant level where expansion moves tend to exhaust themselves and reverse.
6. Safety Protocol: Live Detection
A dashboard monitors the state of the parent candle. If the text turns Magenta with a warning symbol, it means the Higher Timeframe candle is "Live" (still forming).
Trading off a live structure is considered higher risk because the "Auction" isn't finished—the High or Low can still shift. The safest approach is to trade when the dashboard indicates a standard, locked, historical structure.
MA + ATR Channel V2This script creates a dynamic volatility channel (similar to a Keltner Channel). It plots a central Moving Average (SMA or EMA) to represent the baseline trend and uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate the Upper and Lower bands. The channel automatically widens during high volatility and narrows during low volatility.
Usage
Mean Reversion: In sideways markets, prices touching the outer bands often tend to revert back to the central line.
该脚本构建了一个基于波动率的动态通道（类似肯特纳通道）。它以**移动平均线（SMA或EMA）为中轴判断趋势，并利用真实波幅（ATR）**计算通道宽度。通道范围会随市场波动加剧而变宽，随波动平缓而收窄。
用法
震荡回归： 在横盘行情中，价格触及通道边缘时，往往有回调至中轴的倾向。
Hash SupertrendHash Supertrend is a visually enhanced Supertrend-based indicator designed by Hash Capital Research, tuned specifically for crypto trend trading on Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin (BTC). It combines institutional-style color coding, an optional session time filter, and production-ready alerts for systematic and discretionary traders alike.
What This Indicator Is
Hash Supertrend is a trend-following volatility band indicator built on TradingView’s native ta.supertrend() function.
It’s optimized and visually styled for:
High-volatility crypto pairs (especially SOL/USDT, SOL/USD, BTC/USDT, BTC/USD)
Timeframes typically used by crypto traders (from 5m scalping to 4H swing and 1D trend following)
The script is an indicator, not a strategy:
It does not place trades or show backtest results.
It provides clear trend states, flips, and alerts that you can plug into your own execution stack or manual trading.
Key Features
✅ Tuned for Crypto (Solana & Bitcoin)
Parameters are chosen to respond well to the volatility profile of SOL and BTC, reducing noise while still catching strong moves.
✅ Non-repainting Supertrend Core
Uses TradingView’s built-in ta.supertrend — values may move intrabar as the bar forms, but once a bar closes, the historical line and signals do not repaint.
✅ Fluorescent Trend Visualization
Bright green for bullish phases
Bright red for bearish phases
Adaptive color intensity based on user setting
✅ Glow Layer & Trend Zones
Glow effect around the Supertrend line for instant visual recognition
Optional filled zones between price and line for “trend cloud” style visualization
✅ Time Filter (Session Control)
Option to only mark signals during specific hours for those wanting to integrate with webhooks
Designed for traders who avoid certain sessions (e.g., low-liquidity hours)
✅ Signal Dots & Alerts
Tiny green dots for bullish flips
Tiny red dots for bearish flips
Professional, preconfigured alerts for:
Long Entry
Short Entry
Any Trend Change
Filtered signals outside trading hours (for monitoring only)
The core logic is built on:
ATR Length (ATR Length) Default: 16
Lower values (7–10): more sensitive, more signals, more noise
Higher values (12–20): smoother, fewer but stronger trend signals
Factor (Factor) Default: 3.11
Lower values (1.5–2.5): tighter bands, earlier entries, higher whipsaws
Higher values (3.0–4.0+): wider bands, later entries, stronger trend confirmation
The indicator reads direction from ta.supertrend and classifies:
Bullish Trend: direction < 0
Bearish Trend: direction > 0
A trend flip happens when direction changes sign:
longSignal: Supertrend flips from above price to below price (bearish → bullish)
shortSignal: Supertrend flips from below price to above price (bullish → bearish)

DEMA ATR Strategy [PrimeAutomation]⯁ OVERVIEW
The DEMA ATR Strategy combines trend-following logic with adaptive volatility filters to identify strong momentum phases and manage trades dynamically.
It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) anchored to ATR volatility bands, creating a self-adjusting trend baseline.
When the adjusted DEMA shifts direction, the strategy enters positions and scales out profit in phases based on ATR-driven targets.
This system adapts to volatility, filters noise, and seeks sustained directional moves.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
DEMA-Volatility Hybrid Filter
Uses Double EMA with ATR expansion/compression logic to form a dynamic trend baseline.
Directional Shift Entries
Entries occur when the adjusted DEMA flips trend (bullish crossover or bearish crossunder vs its past value).
Noise Reduction Mechanism
ATR range caps extreme moves and prevents false flips during choppy volatility spikes.
Multi-Level Take Profits
Targets scale out positions at 1×, 2×, and 3× ATR multiples in the trade direction.
Volatility-Adaptive Targets
ATR multiplier ensures profit targets expand/contract based on market conditions.
Single-Direction Exposure
No pyramiding; the strategy flips position only when trend shifts.
Automated Trade Finalization
When all profit targets trigger, the position is fully closed.
⯁ STRATEGY LOGIC
Trend Direction:
DEMA baseline is modified using ATR upper/lower envelopes.
• If the adjusted DEMA rises above previous value → Bullish
• If it falls below previous value → Bearish
Entry Rules:
• Enter Long when bullish shift occurs and no long position exists
• Enter Short when bearish shift occurs and no short position exists
Take Profit Logic:
3 partial exits for each trade based on ATR:
• TP1 = ±1× ATR
• TP2 = ±2× ATR
• TP3 = ±3× ATR
Profit distribution: 30% / 30% / 40%
Exit Conditions:
• Exit when all TPs hit (full scale-out if sum of all TPs 100%)
• Opposite trend signal closes current trade and opens new one
⯁ WHEN TO USE
Trending environments
Medium–high volatility phases
Swing trading and intraday trend plays
Markets that respect momentum continuation (crypto, indices, FX majors)
⯁ CONCLUSION
This strategy blends DEMA trend recognition with ATR-based volatility adaptation to generate cleaner directional entries and structured take-profit exits. It is designed to capture momentum phases while avoiding noise-driven false signals, delivering a disciplined and scalable trend-following approach.
OTT Volatility [RunRox]📊 OTT Volatility is an indicator developed by the RunRox team to pinpoint the most optimal time to trade across different markets.
OTT stands for Optimal Trade Time Volatility and is designed primarily for markets without a fixed trading session, such as cryptocurrencies that trade 24/7. At the same time, it works equally well on any other market.
🔶 The concept is straightforward. The indicator takes a specified number of historical periods (Samples) and statistically evaluates which hours of the day or which days show the highest volatility for the selected asset.
As a result, it highlights time windows with elevated volatility where traders can focus on searching for trade setups and building positions.
🔶 As the core volatility metric, the indicator uses ATR (Average True Range) to measure intraday volatility. Then it calculates the average ATR value over the last N Samples, creating a statistically stable estimate of typical volatility for the selected asset.
🔶 Statistically, during these highlighted periods the market shows higher-than-average volatility.
This means that in these time windows price is more likely to be subject to stronger moves and potential manipulation, making them attractive for active trade execution and position management.
⚠️ However, historical behavior does not guarantee future results.
These periods should be treated only as zones where volatility has a higher probability of being above normal, not as a promise of movement.
As shown in the screenshot above, the indicator also projects potential future volatility based on historical data. This helps you better plan your trading hours and align your activity with periods where volatility is statistically expected to be higher or lower.
🔶 Current Volatility – as shown in the screenshot above, you can also monitor the real-time volatility of the market without any statistical averaging.
On top of that, you can overlay the current volatility on top of the statistical volatility levels, which makes it easy to see whether the market is now trading in a high- or low-volatility regime relative to its usual behavior.
4 display modes – you can choose any visualization style that fits your trading workflow:
Absolute – displays the raw volatility values.
Relative – shows volatility relative to its typical levels.
Average Centered – centers volatility around its average value.
Trim Low Value – filters out low-volatility noise and highlights only more significant moves.
This indicator helps you define the most effective trading hours on any market by relying on historical volatility statistics.
Use it to quickly see when your market tends to be more active and to structure your trading sessions around those periods.
✅ We hope this tool becomes a useful part of your trading toolkit and helps you improve the quality of your decisions and timing.
Safe Supertrend Strategy (No Repaint)Overview
The Safe Supertrend is a repaint-free version of the popular Supertrend trend-following indicator.
Most Supertrend indicators appear perfect on historical charts because they flip intrabar and then repaint after the candle closes.
This version fixes that by using close-of-bar confirmation only, making every trend flip 100% stable, safe, and non-repainting.
Why This Supertrend Doesn’t Repaint
Most Supertrend indicators calculate their trend direction using the current bar’s data.
But during a live candle:
ATR expands and contracts
The upper/lower bands move
Price moves above/below the band temporarily
A false flip appears → then disappears when the candle closes
That is classic repainting.
This indicator avoids all of that by using:
close > upper
close < lower
This means:
Trend direction flips only based on the previous candle,
No intrabar calculations,
No flickering signals,
No “perfect but fake” historical performance.
Every signal you see on the chart is exactly what was available in real-time.
How It Works
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and SMA centerline
Builds upper and lower volatility bands
Confirms trend flips only after the previous bar closes
Plots clear bull and bear reversal signals
Works on all markets (crypto, stocks, forex, indices)
No repainting, no recalc, no misleading flips.
Bullish Signal (Trend Up)
A bullish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes above the upper ATR band,
And this flip is fully confirmed.
A green triangle marks the start of a new uptrend.
Bearish Signal (Trend Down)
A bearish trend begins only when:
The previous candle closes below the lower ATR band,
And the downtrend is confirmed.
A red triangle signals the start of a new downtrend.
Inputs
ATR Length - default 10
ATR Multiplier - default 3.0
Works on all timeframes and market
Simple, but powerful.
Why Use This Version Instead of a Regular Supertrend?
Most Supertrends:
Look great historically
But repaint continuously on live charts
Give false trend flips intrabar
Cannot be reliably used in strategies
This version:
Uses strict previous-bar logic
Never repaints trend direction
Works perfectly in live trading
Backtests accurately
Is ideal for algorithmic strategies
Ideal For:
Trend-following strategies
Breakout trading
Algo trading systems
Reversal detection
Filtering market noise
Swing trading & scalping
Final Note
This is a safer, more reliable Supertrend designed for real-world use — not perfect-looking repaint illusions.
If you use Supertrend in your trading system, this no-repaint version ensures your signals are trustworthy and consistent.
