Commodity Channel Relative StrengthNew concept(I think atleast) I've joined the Standard RSI and CCI at the hip with another plotcandle, which gives a picture of a larger candle With more interesting movement imo. Includes Fib Retracement Levels, High/Low and a couple of coppock curves for more confirmation. Broadening candles seem to indicate a weakening of trend strength (from what i've seen atleast) although exceptions do occur. Vice versa for tapering to a lesser degree I imagine. RSI has been shifted down to 0 to align the center point with the CCI , so the usual 30/70 RSI Levels are now -20/20 (although I have 30/-30 instead for the hlines).

Digital Kahler CCI [Loxx]Digital Kahler CCI is a Digital Kahler filtered CCI. This modification significantly reduces noise.
What is Digital Kahler?
From Philipp Kahler's article for www.traders-mag.com, August 2008. "A Classic Indicator in a New Suit: Digital Stochastic"
Digital Indicators
Whenever you study the development of trading systems in particular, you will be struck in an extremely unpleasant way by the seemingly unmotivated indentations and changes in direction of each indicator. An experienced trader can recognise many false signals of the indicator on the basis of his solid background; a stupid trading system usually falls into any trap offered by the unclear indicator course. This is what motivated me to improve even further this and other indicators with the help of a relatively simple procedure. The goal of this development is to be able to use this indicator in a trading system with as few additional conditions as possible. Discretionary traders will likewise be happy about this clear course, which is not nerve-racking and makes concentrating on the essential elements of trading possible.
How Is It Done?
The digital stochastic is a child of the original indicator. We owe a debt of gratitude to George Lane for his idea to design an indicator which describes the position of the current price within the high-low range of the historical price movement. My contribution to this indicator is the changed pattern which improves the quality of the signal without generating too long delays in giving signals. The trick used to generate this “digital” behavior of the indicator. It can be used with most oscillators like RSI or CCI .
First of all, the original is looked at. The indicator always moves between 0 and 100. The precise position of the indicator or its course relative to the trigger line are of no interest to me, I would just like to know whether the indicator is quoted below or above the value 50. This is tantamount to the question of whether the market is just trading above or below the middle of the high-low range of the past few days. If the market trades in the upper half of its high-low range, then the digital stochastic is given the value 1; if the original stochastic is below 50, then the value –1 is given. This leads to a sequence of 1/-1 values – the digital core of the new indicator. These values are subsequently smoothed by means of a short exponential moving average . This way minor false signals are eliminated and the indicator is given its typical form.
Calculation
The calculation is simple
Step1 : create the CCI
Step 2 : Use CCI as Fast MA and smoothed CCI as Slow MA
Step 3 : Multiple the Slow and Fast MAs by their respective input ratios, and then divide by their sum. if the result is greater than 0, then the result is 1, if it's less than 0 then the result is -1, then chart the data
if ((slowr * slow_k + fastr * fast_k) / (fastr + slowr) > 50.0)
temp := 1
if ((slowr * slow_k + fastr * fast_k) / (fastr + slowr) < 50.0)
temp := -1
Step 4 : Profit

Adaptive-Lookback CCI w/ Double Juirk Smoothing [Loxx]Adaptive-Lookback CCI w/ Double Juirk Smoothing is a CCI indicator with Adaptive period inputs. The adaptive calculation in this case is the count of pivots in historical bars. This indicator is also double smoothing using Jurik smoothing to reduce noise and refine the signal.
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.

CFB-Adaptive CCI w/ T3 Smoothing [Loxx]CFB-Adaptive CCI w/ T3 Smoothing is a CCI indicator with adaptive period inputs and T3 smoothing. Jurik's Composite Fractal Behavior is used to created dynamic period input.
What is Composite Fractal Behavior ( CFB )?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.

Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.

Tim Tillson is a software project manager at Hewlett-Packard, with degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science. He has privately traded options and equities for 15 years.
Introduction
"Digital filtering includes the process of smoothing, predicting, differentiating, integrating, separation of signals, and removal of noise from a signal. Thus many people who do such things are actually using digital filters without realizing that they are; being unacquainted with the theory, they neither understand what they have done nor the possibilities of what they might have done."
This quote from R. W. Hamming applies to the vast majority of indicators in technical analysis . Moving averages, be they simple, weighted, or exponential, are lowpass filters; low frequency components in the signal pass through with little attenuation, while high frequencies are severely reduced.
"Oscillator" type indicators (such as MACD , Momentum, Relative Strength Index ) are another type of digital filter called a differentiator.
Tushar Chande has observed that many popular oscillators are highly correlated, which is sensible because they are trying to measure the rate of change of the underlying time series, i.e., are trying to be the first and second derivatives we all learned about in Calculus.
We use moving averages (lowpass filters) in technical analysis to remove the random noise from a time series, to discern the underlying trend or to determine prices at which we will take action. A perfect moving average would have two attributes:
It would be smooth, not sensitive to random noise in the underlying time series. Another way of saying this is that its derivative would not spuriously alternate between positive and negative values.
It would not lag behind the time series it is computed from. Lag, of course, produces late buy or sell signals that kill profits.
The only way one can compute a perfect moving average is to have knowledge of the future, and if we had that, we would buy one lottery ticket a week rather than trade!
Having said this, we can still improve on the conventional simple, weighted, or exponential moving averages. Here's how:
Two Interesting Moving Averages
We will examine two benchmark moving averages based on Linear Regression analysis.
In both cases, a Linear Regression line of length n is fitted to price data.
I call the first moving average ILRS, which stands for Integral of Linear Regression Slope. One simply integrates the slope of a linear regression line as it is successively fitted in a moving window of length n across the data, with the constant of integration being a simple moving average of the first n points. Put another way, the derivative of ILRS is the linear regression slope. Note that ILRS is not the same as a SMA ( simple moving average ) of length n, which is actually the midpoint of the linear regression line as it moves across the data.
We can measure the lag of moving averages with respect to a linear trend by computing how they behave when the input is a line with unit slope. Both SMA (n) and ILRS(n) have lag of n/2, but ILRS is much smoother than SMA .
Our second benchmark moving average is well known, called EPMA or End Point Moving Average. It is the endpoint of the linear regression line of length n as it is fitted across the data. EPMA hugs the data more closely than a simple or exponential moving average of the same length. The price we pay for this is that it is much noisier (less smooth) than ILRS, and it also has the annoying property that it overshoots the data when linear trends are present.
However, EPMA has a lag of 0 with respect to linear input! This makes sense because a linear regression line will fit linear input perfectly, and the endpoint of the LR line will be on the input line.
These two moving averages frame the tradeoffs that we are facing. On one extreme we have ILRS, which is very smooth and has considerable phase lag. EPMA has 0 phase lag, but is too noisy and overshoots. We would like to construct a better moving average which is as smooth as ILRS, but runs closer to where EPMA lies, without the overshoot.
A easy way to attempt this is to split the difference, i.e. use (ILRS(n)+EPMA(n))/2. This will give us a moving average (call it IE /2) which runs in between the two, has phase lag of n/4 but still inherits considerable noise from EPMA. IE /2 is inspirational, however. Can we build something that is comparable, but smoother? Figure 1 shows ILRS, EPMA, and IE /2.
Filter Techniques
Any thoughtful student of filter theory (or resolute experimenter) will have noticed that you can improve the smoothness of a filter by running it through itself multiple times, at the cost of increasing phase lag.
There is a complementary technique (called twicing by J.W. Tukey) which can be used to improve phase lag. If L stands for the operation of running data through a low pass filter, then twicing can be described by:
L' = L(time series) + L(time series - L(time series))
That is, we add a moving average of the difference between the input and the moving average to the moving average. This is algebraically equivalent to:
2L-L(L)
This is the Double Exponential Moving Average or DEMA , popularized by Patrick Mulloy in TASAC (January/February 1994).
In our taxonomy, DEMA has some phase lag (although it exponentially approaches 0) and is somewhat noisy, comparable to IE /2 indicator.
We will use these two techniques to construct our better moving average, after we explore the first one a little more closely.
Fixing Overshoot
An n-day EMA has smoothing constant alpha=2/(n+1) and a lag of (n-1)/2.
Thus EMA (3) has lag 1, and EMA (11) has lag 5. Figure 2 shows that, if I am willing to incur 5 days of lag, I get a smoother moving average if I run EMA (3) through itself 5 times than if I just take EMA (11) once.
This suggests that if EPMA and DEMA have 0 or low lag, why not run fast versions (eg DEMA (3)) through themselves many times to achieve a smooth result? The problem is that multiple runs though these filters increase their tendency to overshoot the data, giving an unusable result. This is because the amplitude response of DEMA and EPMA is greater than 1 at certain frequencies, giving a gain of much greater than 1 at these frequencies when run though themselves multiple times. Figure 3 shows DEMA (7) and EPMA(7) run through themselves 3 times. DEMA^3 has serious overshoot, and EPMA^3 is terrible.
The solution to the overshoot problem is to recall what we are doing with twicing:
DEMA (n) = EMA (n) + EMA (time series - EMA (n))
The second term is adding, in effect, a smooth version of the derivative to the EMA to achieve DEMA . The derivative term determines how hot the moving average's response to linear trends will be. We need to simply turn down the volume to achieve our basic building block:
EMA (n) + EMA (time series - EMA (n))*.7;
This is algebraically the same as:
EMA (n)*1.7-EMA( EMA (n))*.7;
I have chosen .7 as my volume factor, but the general formula (which I call "Generalized Dema") is:
GD (n,v) = EMA (n)*(1+v)-EMA( EMA (n))*v,
Where v ranges between 0 and 1. When v=0, GD is just an EMA , and when v=1, GD is DEMA . In between, GD is a cooler DEMA . By using a value for v less than 1 (I like .7), we cure the multiple DEMA overshoot problem, at the cost of accepting some additional phase delay. Now we can run GD through itself multiple times to define a new, smoother moving average T3 that does not overshoot the data:
T3(n) = GD ( GD ( GD (n)))
In filter theory parlance, T3 is a six-pole non-linear Kalman filter. Kalman filters are ones which use the error (in this case (time series - EMA (n)) to correct themselves. In Technical Analysis , these are called Adaptive Moving Averages; they track the time series more aggressively when it is making large moves.

Double CCIWith this variant of the CCI indicator you have 2 CCIs. I call it convenience the fast and the slow.
The slow one has the default period of 20. The fast one has a lower value and will therefore also change his direction much faster.
I don't use this as a decisive indicator, but the fast one does indicate where the standard CCI might go and so you are already prepared for the decisive moment.
I've added a zero line so you can visually track whether the buyers or the sellers are predominant.
Between 0 and +100, as well as between 0 and -100 there is still a battle between buyers and sellers and it is better to wait a little longer before entering a trade.
From +100 to +250 I have colored the zone green; here the buyers are winning and it is a confirmation that you can safer enter the BUY.
From -100 to -250 it's colored red; here the sellers are firmly winning and it is a confirmation to go into a SELL.
Most values are adjustable via the settings and can be switched on or off.
This indicator is not intended to be used as the sole decision element, but rather to fine-tune your entry and exit points . Maybe wait a little longer than you normally would, but then be able to step in at the right time that there is enough volume in your desired direction.
Good luck with it and I would love feedback.
Thank you Tradingview-community.

VHF-Adaptive CCI [Loxx]VHF-Adaptive CCI is a CCI indicator with adaptive period inputs using vertical horizontal filtering.
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is VHF Adaptive Cycle?
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX DI. Vertical Horizontal Filter does not, itself, generate trading signals, but determines whether signals are taken from trend or momentum indicators. Using this trend information, one is then able to derive an average cycle length.

Rajiv Patel Strategy with ATR RSI CCI MACD EMA IchimokuRajiv Patel Strategy with alerts helps to identify entry and exit levels based on following Indicators.
1. ATR Trailing Stoploss
2. RSI
3. CCI
4. MACD
5. EMA
6. SMA
7. Ichimoku
This Strategy is fully customizable as per your trading style. Below are some examples of how once can use the Strategy.
Options Based on Each Indicator Individually.
1. ATR Trailing Stoploss – When price is above ATR Trailing Stoploss line its in buy zone and when below its in sell zone. The setting of ATR Trailing Stoploss are customizable like ATR Periods and ATR Multiplier. Suggest increasing ATR Multiplier with lower timeframe. Aggressive buyers can decrease ATR Period in higher timeframe as per trade plan.
2. RSI – RSI above EMA Length is buy zone and below is sell zone. Conservative buyers can increase the RSI & EMA Length period while aggressive and reduce. Higher the timeframe gives better results.
3. CCI – Similar to RSI the buy zone is when CCI crosses above EMA Length. Again CCI & EMA Length can be customised as per trade plan. Higher timeframe is advised.
4. MACD – MACD parameters default settings are based on trying to get early entry. One can change to 26, 13 and 9 in lower timeframe. When MACD crosses above Signal line its buy zone and when below its sell zone.
5. EMA – 5 EMA lines and 2 SMA lines can be plotted. The settings of both EMA lines and SMA lines can be adjusted based on timeframe and trade plan.
6. EMA – EMA line 1 and 2 can be used as buy when EMA1 crosses above EMA2 and sell when below. The length of EMA1 & 2 is adjustable. Suggest modifying based on timeframe and trade plan.
7. SMA – SMA1 can also be used as solo indicator. If price is below SMA1 then its no buy area and if above, then in buy area. SMA2 can be used to identify if trend is upward or downward based on user settings.
8. Ichimoku – It predicts price movements bit like moving averages. Offers a unique perspective of support and resistance levels.
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen)
- Measures Short Term Trend
- Signals an area of minor support and resistance

HOW TO READ ICHIMOKU INDICATOR
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen)
- If Price is above the Conversion Line = Short term upward movement
- If Price is below the Conversion Line = Short term downward movement
- Increasing Conversion Line = Short term uptrend
- Decreasing Conversion Line = Short term downtrend
Base Line (Kijun Sen)
- If Price is above the baseline = Medium term uptrend
- If the Market price is below the baseline = Medium term downtrend
- Increasing Base Line = Medium term uptrend
- Decreasing Base Line = Medium term downtrend
Lagging Span
- The Evolution of the current price action in relation to previous price action
- If the Lagging span is above the current price = Bullish Bias
- If the Lagging span is below the current price = Bearish Bias
- Lagging span near the current price = Trading range
Kumo Cloud
- Dynamic Support and Resistance based upon price action.
- The longer the price stays below/above the Kumo cloud, stronger the trend
- When the cloud is wide, the expected support or resistance is strong
- When the cloud is thin, the expected support or resistance is weak
- Never trade when price is inside Kumo Cloud
HOW TO TRADE WITH ICHIMOKU CLOUD
1. Baseline and conversion Line crossover (Lagging Span as a Filter)
crossover (conversion line, baseline) = Buy
crossunder (conversion line, baseline) = Sell
FILTER
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bullish (i.e above the price) = Buy
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bearish (i.e below the price) = Sell
2. Baseline - Conversion line crossover (Kumo cloud Filter)
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy
Crossover (conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo cloud = Weak Buy
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
Crossunder (conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell
3. Kumo Cloud Breakout
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Upper wall upward = Bullish Signal
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Lower wall downward = Bearish Signal
4. Kumo Cloud Crossover
When Span A crosses the Span B from below to the upside and prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy Signal
When Span A crosses the Span B from upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
When Span A crosses Span B from bottom to the upside and prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Weak Buy Signal
When Span A crosses Span B from the upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell Signal
Options Based on Combining Multiple Indicators.
One can select and combine multiple conditions based on above understanding of individual indicator to create a strong Long Entry, Short Entry, Long Exit and Short Exit. This Strategy also provides Alert signal for all entry and exit based on the combinations of conditions selected.
Since this is a strategy one can use STRATEGY TESTER to understand how the strategy has performed over the selected time span. This however does not guarantee similar results in present or future trades.
Please enter commission or total charges charged by your broker in “Properties” Tab of the strategy. Modify all parameters of “Properties” Tab as needed. Note, this can affect the performance results of the strategy.
Need to be very careful in selecting conditions as it becomes very complex with many options available.
Note:
Triangles at the top and bottom indicates the zone. Can be turned on / off using condition “Show Conditions Visually”.
1. Red triangle at top pointing down with ‘S’ indicates in Long Exit zone.
2. Red triangle at top pointing down with ‘EnS’ indicates in Enter Short zone.
3. Green triangle at bottom pointing up with ‘B’ indicates in Long Entry zone.
4. Green triangle at bottom pointing up with ‘ExS’ indicates in Exit Short zone.
5. When the is no triangle either at top or bottom means there is no zone.
Send me your suggestions, will try to incorporate the same in next revision.
All TimeFrame OscillatorsI have always fighted to understand the market direction because it looks different on different timeframes.

Experimenting with this I have saw that confluence of 4H 1D and 1W Stoch can be very interesting and can highlight higher timeframe take profit areas and sometimes major tops/bottoms.
Also bounces can be interesting when a lower timeframe stoch is bounced or rejected from a higher one.

Plot Oscillator or it's Slope:
its possible to not plot the oscillator but it's slope
Print dots when:
Cross Up/Down oversold/overbougt level - best for most oscillators. for example when Stoch crosses above 20 or below 80
Cross os/ob and the one higher TF is about to cross - when it's crosses beolw 80 and the higher timeframe oscillator is still above ans sloping down
Cross above/below middle line - for example on RSI being above or below 50 can be interesting
Print triangles when:
All Slope Match - all visible timeframe lines are pointing up or down at the same time
All above/belove middle line - all visible lines are above or belove the middle line
All above/belove middle line and slope match - like the previous one and the slope direction is the same
All above/below oversold/overbougt - all lines are above or below os/ ob. this is the default. it can be a very important confluence
Lower TF in order - 5, 15, 30, 60 minute timeframes are in order.
Higher TF in order - 4H 1D 1W in order (like 4H above 1D abd 1D above 1W). can be interesting at RSI
4H-1D in order - 4H 1D in order .
Print triangles
Print all triangles - print all triangles when the condition is met
Print only first triangles - only show when the condition starts to met
Print only last triangles - small triangles when the condition met first, large when last. tis is the default.
Timeframes to show:
You can turn on/off different timeframs to show or not from the list below:
1m 5m 15m 30m 1H 4H D 5D W M
This is for experimenting/ understanding the market direction on multiple timeframes at once.
Don't take it's signals (and any other indicator's) as exact trade signals. use it as confirmation instead.

Genesis Matrix [Loxx]Over a decade ago, the Genesis Matrix system was one of best strategies for new traders looking to learn how to really trade trends. Fast forward to 2022, a new version of Genesis Matrix has emerged using TVI, CCI, HL Channel & T3
What is T3?
The T3 moving average is an indicator of an indicator since it includes several EMAs of another EMA. Unlike any other moving average, it adds the so-called volume factor, a value between 0 and 1. Like the SMA, traders typically use this indicator to spot trends and trend reversals.
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
Genesis matrix uses Jurik-Smoothed CCI w/ MA Deviation--a spin on regular CCI .Usually CCI is calculated as using average ( Simple Moving Average ) and mean deviation. In this version, average is replaced with well known JMA (Jurik Moving Average) instead for the smoothing phase and the deviation is replaced with variety moving average deviation. The result in this one is responsive and fast (as expected) and also it is smoother than the original CCI (as expected).
What is SSL?
Known as the SSL, the Semaphore Signal Level channel chart alert is an indicator that combines moving averages to provide you with a clear visual signal of price movement dynamics. In short, it's designed to show you when a price trend is forming. For our purposes here, SSL has been modified to allow for different moving average selection and different closing price look back periods.
What is William Blau Ergodic Tick Volume?
This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more, we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and non-trending periods.
William Blau's definition of TVI ergodicity is that the indictor is ergodic when periods are set to 32, 5, 1, and the signal is set to 5. Other combinations are not ergodic, according to Blau.

In this version, average is replaced with well known JMA (Jurik Moving Average) instead for the smoothing phase and the deviation is replaced with variety moving average deviation. The result in this one is responsive and fast (as expected) and also it is smoother than the original CCI (as expected).
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.

Jurik Filtered Perfect CCI (PCCI) [Loxx]Jurik Filtered Perfect CCI (PCCI) is a faster and more accurate version of CCI with Jurik Filtering.
What is the PCCI (Perfect Commodity Channel Index)?
PCCI (Perfect Commodity Channel Index) indicator is calculated by the following formula:
PCCI(bar) = close(bar) – DF(bar)
PCCI resembles D. Lambert's Commodity Channel Index by the method of its calculation.
Actually, CCI index is calculated as a normalized difference between the current price and its moving average. PCCI is calculated as a difference between a day closing price and its statistical expectation presented by a Digital Fitler value. Therefore, PCCI is more efficient than CCI.
PCCI index is a high frequency part of the exchange rate fluctuations normalized according to its standard deviation.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.

Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.

Artharjan Market AnalysisHi,
I have created Artharjan Market Analysis dashboard to help traders to take complete view of the stocks of a particular sector or a benchmark index and track them simultaneously.
With this indicator dashboard, traders will be able to track 13 scripts simultaneously. This dashboard has following features and will help gain loads of valuable information during intraday as well as positional trading.
Information provided:
1] Traders will be able to track 13 scripts of their choice and get real time Buy/Sell Signals
2] Traders will be able to chose the timeframe of their choice by changing the setting called "Timeframe" OR keep the timeframe as that on the chart by keeping the Timeframe = "Chart".
3] Traders will be able to adjust the thickness of the Moving Averages Plotted on the Chart
4] Traders will be able to select the Table position and Table Text Size.
5] For volume analysis select a separate Lookback period for Daily/Weekly/Monthly timeframes and a separate Lookback period for Intraday timeframe. You may keep both same as per your choice.
6] Plot smoothed RSI (WMA of closing price used as an input for RSI) . Default smoothing used is 5. But if you dont want to use smoothing then set it to 1 and RAW RSI will be plotted.
7] For plotting RSI select a separate Lookback period for Daily/Weekly/Monthly timeframes and a separate Lookback period for Intraday timeframe. You may keep both same as per your choice.
8] For RSI set the Overbought and Oversold Levels of your choice.
9] Similarly user will be able to set its own timeframe for calculating Elders Force Index and Commodity Channel Index, and also set the Overbought and Oversold Levels of your choice.
10] Traders will have a choice to monitor Stock Price with reference to 3 Super Trend indicators based on 3 different parameters of their choice.
11] To calculate the Relative Strength and Moving Average High/Low Bands I have used the lookback period of 55 and used RMA instead of SMA or EMAs since I found that RMAs are more reliable than SMA or EMAs.
12] To measure the relative strength of a Stock w.r.t. a Benchmark Index or a Sectoral Index, user will have to select the RS - Comparative Symbol. This Comparative Symbol (Script) will be used to measure the relative strength of all the 13 scripts.
13] Kindly note that since this Dashboard will monitor 13 scripts simultaneously it will occupy huge space on the chart, hence I have made a provision to select the number of scripts to be shown on the dashboard minimum is 1 and max is 13.
14] With this indicator you will be able to monitor the price action and following indicators.
a) Last Traded Price
b) Price Change (Between Current candle and previous candle of the selected timeframe)
c) Price Change Percentage (Between Current candle and previous candle of the selected timeframe)
d) Volume Change (Between Current candle and previous candle of the selected timeframe)
e) Volume vs. SMA(Volume) with different color shaded ranging from -ve values to 100%, 100% to 200%, 200% to 500% and more than 500%
f) If Price is above VWAP then its a Buy else its a Sell signal
g) Signals based on RSI values and its corresponding relation with Overbought and Oversold Levels -such as Bullish, Bearish, Long Unwinding, Short Covering, Long Buildup, Short Buildup, Neutral levels
h) 3 Supertrend Indicators
i) Central Pivot Range (Calculated on a Daily Timeframe) - If LTP > CPR = Bullish, LTV < CPR = Bearish else Neutral
j) Elders Force Index - If EFI > 0 Buy if EFI < 0 Sell
k) Signals based on CCI values and its corresponding relation with Overbought and Oversold Levels -such as Bullish, Bearish, Long Unwinding, Short Covering, Long Buildup, Short Buildup, Neutral levels
l) Moving Average Envelop of 55 RMA calculated on Highs and Lows. If Low > Upperband = Bullish, if High < Lowerband = Bearish else Neutral
m) Relative Strength (RS). If RS of a Script in comparison to the Comparative Symbol is positive then it will shown in Green else it will be shown in Red color.
Kindly note that for Index scripts have got no volume so all indicators (Volume, SMA(Volume), VWAP and EFI) which require Volume as an Input parameter will be shown in Gray color because there is no volume data available to calculate these Indicator values and determine whether the Index is in Bullish Territory or in Bearish territory.
I hope you would enjoy using this indicator and it will act as a light house in your trading journey.
Warm regards

CCI High Performance long onlyThis strategy is based on the classic Commodity Channel Index and only works long.
The system enters the market when this indicator is very low ( CCI <-150 or user-defined threshold) and as soon as it regains strength (i.e. CCI> CCI of the previous candle) with a filter on the "strength" of the prices themselves (i.e. the closing of the candle that provides the signal must be higher than a certain difference - fixed at 0.25% - at the opening of the candle itself).
You exit the market when you either incur a stop loss or when the prices are above the upper band of the CCI.
This system is used to have a high number of profitable operations (well over 50%) with little effort in terms of number of bars, rather than wanting to capture the actual duration of a trend. It is therefore recommended for those who "suffer to see the potential losses".
CCI and ADX_by RMCCI and ADX
ENTRY:

Cyatophilum 3Commas DCA Bot BacktesterAn indicator to backtest and automate 3Commas DCA Bots.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator allows you to replicate your bot settings and get backtest results from the Strategy Tester and also a backtest panel with additional information on the safety orders.
You can also create alerts for each of the strategy events.
█ HOW TO USE
Choose a symbol that corresponds to your bot pair and exchange.
Pick a chart time frame as small as possible, usually 1 minute. The timeframe should always be smaller or equal to the deal start conditions timeframes.
Always use regular candle type.
Configure your deal start condition . You can combine several technical indicators to trigger an entry using a AND logical gate.
Configure your profit target
Use the Take Profit feature to set a target in percentage of price. You can also make it trail.
There is also a Stop Loss feature that is turned off by default.
Configure your safety orders
Replicate the safety orders from your bot into the indicator inputs.
Check your backtest parameters
Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since it is a pyramiding strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital.
In this example: Initial capital is 0.02 BTC, which around 600$. I used 1000$ to be safe.
If you use % equity as order size, please note that it will create compounding.
Check the fees, by default they are set to 0.1%.
I also recommend to set a slippage that corresponds to your exchange's spread.
█ FEATURES
• Strategy direction
Configure wether to go long or short.
• Deal Start Conditions
The current conditions available are:
- Up to 4 MTF Trading View ratings conditions (Buy/Sell, Strong Buy/Sell)

SCCI KRAKEN [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This indicator is a Smoothed Commodity Channel Index with crosses with a signal SMA.
It combines 4 different and configurable timeframes to find dips and tops.
It has several configurable timeframe combinations, so you don't have to reconfigure the indicator on each timeframe, you can have a preset for your favorite timeframes, anyway, default ones are already coded in.
The SMAs are not visible to avoid too many lines confusion, but there're signals on each cross.
- Visual:
So you have 4 lines, 1 for each timeframe, when the SCCI is increasing it takes a bullish color, bearish color if going down.
You can customize 2 color setups, simple and multicolor, in both cases you can configure every single color, the main difference is that using "simple" just shows the same bullish/bearish color for each line but multicolor allows to setup different colors for EACH line/timeframe.
Crossover/under symbol changes depending on strength zone, a crossover on oversold area (bottom/green) triggers a cross, as well as a cross under in the overbought area (top/red), dots are shown when the zones are inverted.
Background color changes when all the lines/timeframes are in the same area, for example, if all 4 lines are below 0 it starts getting green (oversold), while over 0 it gets red (overbought), extreme levels gets lighter.
- Customization:
As usual in my indicators, everything is customizable, periods for de CCI, smoothness for it, the SMA periods, colors, timeframe setups...
The oversold and overbought areas are also customizable, being able to set zones for each.
The indicator has an option to show a different asset, because some testers asked me to add this in order to COMPARE directly against another asset, for example, you can have the same indicator for your current asset (let's say ETH) and another SCCI Kraken showing BTC, doing this allows to check if the asset is more bullish/bearish compared to another asset.
- Usage and recommendations:
Everything is good by default, of you want more accurate crosses you can increase the SMA periods a little, 6-8 instead of 4.
For scalping maybe a good idea to reduce the strong areas and get more signals, anyway i use it as default.
Finally, if you want to find an excellent dip/top increase the distance between timeframes in your setup, for example, go to 1 min and set the other timeframes to 15M, 1H and 4H, you'll get fewer signals but veeery accurate (fewer trades, more precision).

ESPAÑOL
============
- Descripción:
Este indicador es un índice de canal de materias primas suavizado con cruces con una señal SMA.
Combina 4 marcos temporales diferentes y configurables para encontrar dips y tops.
Tiene varias combinaciones de marcos temporales configurables, por lo que no tiene que reconfigurar el indicador en cada marco temporal, puede tener un preset para sus marcos temporales favoritos, de todos modos, los predeterminados ya están codificados.
Las SMAs no son visibles para evitar la confusión de demasiadas líneas, pero hay señales en cada cruce.
- Visual:
Así que tienes 4 líneas, 1 para cada temporalidad, cuando el SCCI está aumentando toma un color alcista, color bajista si va hacia abajo.
Puedes personalizar 2 configuraciones de color, simple y multicolor, en ambos casos puedes configurar cada color, la principal diferencia es que usando "simple" solo muestra el mismo color alcista/bajista para cada línea pero multicolor permite configurar diferentes colores para CADA línea/marco de tiempo.
El símbolo de cruce/bajo cambia dependiendo de la zona de fuerza, un cruce en la zona de sobreventa (abajo/verde) provoca un cruce, así como un cruce bajo en la zona de sobrecompra (arriba/rojo), los puntos se muestran cuando las zonas están invertidas.
El color del fondo cambia cuando todas las líneas/marcos de tiempo están en la misma zona, por ejemplo, si las 4 líneas están por debajo de 0 empieza a ponerse verde (sobreventa), mientras que por encima de 0 se pone rojo (sobrecompra), los niveles extremos se ponen más claros.
- Personalización:
Como es habitual en mis indicadores, todo es personalizable, los periodos del CCI, la suavidad del mismo, los periodos de las SMA, los colores, las configuraciones de los marcos temporales...
Las zonas de sobreventa y sobrecompra también son personalizables, pudiendo establecer zonas para cada una de ellas.
El indicador tiene una opción para mostrar un activo diferente, ya que algunos testers me pidieron que añadiera esto para poder COMPARAR directamente contra otro activo, por ejemplo, puedes tener el mismo indicador para tu activo actual (digamos ETH) y otro SCCI Kraken mostrando BTC, haciendo esto permite comprobar si el activo es más alcista/bajista comparado con otro activo.
- Uso y recomendaciones:
Todo está bien por defecto, de querer cruces más precisos se pueden aumentar un poco los periodos de la SMA, 6-8 en vez de 4.
Para scalping quizás sea una buena idea reducir las zonas fuertes y obtener más señales, de todas formas yo lo uso por defecto.
Por último, si quieres encontrar un excelente dip/top aumenta la distancia entre los marcos de tiempo en tu configuración, por ejemplo, ve a 1 min y pon los otros marcos de tiempo a 15M, 1H y 4H, obtendrás menos señales pero muy precisas (menos operaciones, más precisión).
Real Woodies CCIAs always, this is not financial advice and use at your own risk. Trading is risky and can cost you significant sums of money if you are not careful. Make sure you always have a proper entry and exit plan that includes defining your risk before you enter a trade.
Ken Wood is a semi-famous trader that grew in popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s due to the establishment of one of the earliest trading forums online. This forum grew into "Woodie's CCI Club" due to Wood's love of his modified Commodity Channel Index (CCI) that he used extensively. From what I can tell, the website is still active and still follows the same core principles it did in the early days, the CCI is used for entries, range bars are used to help trader's cut down on the noise, and the optional addition of Woodie's Pivot Points can be used as further confirmation of support and resistance. This is my take on his famous "Woodie's CCI" that has become standard on many charting packages through the years, including a TradingView sponsored version as one of the many stock indicators provided by TradingView. Woodie has updated his CCI through the years to include several very cool additions outside of the standard CCI. I will have to say, I am a bit biased, but I think this is hands down one of the best indicators I have ever used, and I am far too young to have been part of the original CCI Club. Being a daytrader primarily, this fits right in my timeframe wheel house. Woodie designed this indicator to work on a day-trading time scale and he frequently uses this to trade futures and commodity contracts on the 30 minute, often even down to the one minute timeframe. This makes it unique in that it is probably one of the only daytrading-designed indicators out there that I am aware of that was not a popular indicator, like the MACD or RSI, that was just adopted by daytraders.
The CCI was originally created by Donald Lambert in 1980. Over time, it has become an extremely popular house-hold indicator, like the Stochastics, RSI, or MACD. However, like the RSI and Stochastics, there are extensive debates on how the CCI is actually meant to be used. Some trade it like a reversal indicator, where values greater than 100 or less than -100 are considered overbought or oversold, respectively. Others trade it like a typical zero-line cross indicator, where once the value goes above or below the zero-line, a trade should be considered in that direction. Lastly, some treat it as strictly a momentum indicator, where values greater than 100 or less than -100 are seen as strong momentum moves and when these values are reached, a new strong trend is establishing in the direction of the move. The CCI itself is nothing fancy, it just visualizes the distance of the closing price away from a user-defined SMA value and plots it as a line. However, Woodie's CCI takes this simple concept and adds to it with an indicator with 5 pieces to it designed to help the trader enter into the highest probability setups. Bear with me, it initially looks super complicated, but I promise it is pretty straight-forward and a fun indicator to use.
1) The CCI Histogram. This is your standard CCI value that you would find on the normal CCI. Woodie's CCI uses a value of 14 for most trades and a value of 20 when the timeframe is equal to or greater than 30minutes. I personally use this as a 20-period CCI on all time frames, simply for the fact that the 20 SMA is a very popular moving average and I want to know what the crowd is doing. This is your coloured histogram with 4 colours. A gray colouring is for any bars above or below the zero line for 1-4 bars. A yellow bar is a "trend bar", where the long period CCI has been above/below the zero line for 5 consecutive bars, indicating that a trend in the current direction has been established. Blue bars above and red bars below are simply 6+n number of bars above or below the zero line confirming trend. These are used for the Zero-Line Reject Trade (explained below). The CCI Histogram has a matching long-period CCI line that is painted the same colour as the histogram, it is the same thing but is used just to outline the Histogram a bit better.
2) The CCI Turbo line. This is a sped-up 6 period CCI. This is to be used for the Zero-Line Reject trades, trendline breaks, and to identify shorter term overbought/oversold conditions against the main trend. This is coloured as the white line.
3) The Least Squares Moving Average Baseline (LSMA) Zero Line. You will notice that the Zero Line of the indicator is either green or red. This is based on when price is above or below the 25-period LSMA on the chart. The LSMA is a 25 period linear regression moving average and is one of the best moving averages out there because it is more immune to noise than a typical MA. Statistically, an LSMA is designed to find the line of best fit across the lookback periods and identify whether price is advancing, declining, or flat, without the whipsaw that other MAs can be privy to. The zero line of the indicator will turn green when the close candle is over the LSMA or red when it is below the LSMA. This is meant to be a confirmation tool only and the CCI Histogram and Turbo Histogram can cross this zero line without any corresponding change in the colour of the zero line on that immediate candle.
4) The +100 and -100 lines are used in two ways. First, they can be used by the CCI Histogram and CCI Turbo as a sort of minor price resistance and if the CCI values cannot get through these, it is considered weakness in that trade direction until they do so. You will notice that both of these lines are multi-coloured. They have been plotted with the ChopZone Indicator, another TradingView built-in indicator. The ChopZone is a trend identification tool that uses the slope and the direction of a 34-period EMA to identify when price is trending or range bound. While there are ~10 different colours, the main two a trader needs to pay attention to are the turquoise/cyan blue, which indicates price is in an uptrend, and dark red, which indicates price is in a downtrend based on the slope and direction of the 34 EMA. All other colours indicate "chop". These colours are used solely for the Zero-Line Reject and pattern trades discussed below. They are plotted both above and below so you can easily see the colouring no matter what side of the zero line the CCI is on.
5) The +200 and -200 lines are also used in two ways. First, they are considered overbought/oversold levels where if price exceeds these lines then it has moved an extreme amount away from the average and is likely to experience a pullback shortly. This is more useful for the CCI Histogram than the Turbo CCI, in all honesty. You will also notice that these are coloured either red, green, or yellow. This is the Sidewinder indicator portion. The documentation on this is extremely sparse, only pointing to a "relationship between the LSMA and the 34 EMA" (see here: tlc.thinkorswim.com). Since I am not a member of Woodie's CCI Club and never intend to be I took some liberty here and decided that the most likely relationship here was the slope of both moving averages. Therefore, the Sidewinder will be green when both the LSMA and the 34 EMA are rising, red when both are falling, and yellow when they are not in agreement with one another (i.e. one rising/flat while the other is flat/falling). I am a big fan of Dr. Alexander Elder as those who follow me know, so consider this like Woodie's version of the Elder Impulse System. I will fully admit that this version of the Sidewinder is a guess and may not represent the real Sidewinder indicator, but it is next to impossible to find any information on this, so I apologize, but my version does do something useful anyways. This is also to be used only with the Zero-Line Reject trades. They are plotted both above and below so you can easily see the colouring no matter what side of the zero line the CCI is on.
How to Trade It According to Woodie's CCI Club:
Now that I have all of my components and history out of the way, this is what you all care about. I will only provide a brief overview of the trades in this system, but there are quite a few more detailed descriptions listed in the Woodie's CCI Club pamphlet. I have had little success trading the "patterns" but they do exist and do work on occasion. I just prefer to trade with the flow of the markets rather than getting overly scalpy. If you are interested in these patterns, see the pamphlet here (www.trading-attitude.com), hop into the forums and see for yourself, or check out a couple of the YouTube videos.
1) Zero line cross. As simple as any other momentum oscillator out there. When the long period CCI crosses above or below the zero line open a trade in that direction. Extra confirmation can be had when the CCI Turbo has already broken the +100/-100 line "resistance or support". Trend traders may wish to wait until the yellow "trend confirmation bar" has been printed.
2) Zero Line Reject. This is when the CCI Turbo heads back down to the zero line and then bounces back in the same direction of the prevailing trend. These are fantastic continuation trades if you missed the initial entry either on the zero line cross or on the trend bar establishment. ZLR trades are only viable when you have the ChopZone indicator showing a trend (turquoise/cyan for uptrend, dark red for downtrend), the LSMA line is green for an uptrend or red for a downtrend, and the SideWinder is either green confirming the uptrend or red confirming the downtrend.
3) Hook From Extreme. This is the exact same as the Zero Line Reject trade, however, the CCI Turbo now goes to the +100/-100 line (whichever is opposite the currently established trend) and then hooks back into the established trend direction. Ideally the HFE trade needs to have the Long CCI Histogram above/below the corresponding 100 level and the CCI Turbo both breaks the 100 level on the trend side and when it does break it has increased ~20 points from the previous value (i.e. CCI Histogram = +150 with LSMA, CZ, and SW all matching up and trend bars printed on CCI Histogram, CCI Turbo went to -120 and bounced to +80 on last 2 bars, current bar closes with CCI Turbo closing at +110).
4) Trend Line Break. Either the CCI Turbo or CCI Histogram, whichever you prefer (I find the Turbo a bit more accurate since its a faster value) creates a series of higher highs/lows you can draw a trend line linking them. When the line breaks the trendline that is your signal to take a counter trade position. For example, if the CCI Turbo is making consistently higher lows and then breaks the trendline through the zero line, you can then go short. This is a good continuation trade.
5) The Tony Trade. Consider this like a combination zero line reject, trend line break, and weak zero line cross all in one. The idea is that the SW, CZ, and LSMA values are all established in one direction. The CCI Histogram should be in an established trend and then cross the zero line but never break the 100 level on the new side as long as it has not printed more than 9 bars on the new side. If the CCI Histogram prints 9 or less bars on the new side and then breaks the trendline and crosses back to the original trend side, that is your signal to take a reversal trade. This is best used in the Elder Triple Screen method (discussed in final section) as a failed dip or rip.
6) The GB100 Trade. This is a similar trade as the Tony Trade, however, the CCI Histogram can break the 100 level on the new side but has to have made less than 6 bars on the new side. A trendline break is not necessary here either, it is more of a "pop and drop" or "momentum failure" trade trying in the new direction.
7) The Famir Trade. This is a failed CCI Long Histogram ZLR trade and is quite complicated. I have never traded this but it is in the pamphlet. Essentially you have a typical ZLR reject (i.e. all components saying it is likely a long/short continuation trade), but the ZLR only stays around the 50 level, goes back to the trend side, fails there as well immediately after 1 bar and then rebreaks to the new side. This is important to be considered with the LSMA value matching the side of the trade, so if the Famir says to go long, you need the LSMA indicator to also say to go long.
8) The Vegas Trade. This is essentially a trend-reversal trade that takes into account the LSMA and a cup and handle formation on the CCI Long Histogram after it has reached an extreme value (+200/-200). You will see the CCI Histogram hit the extreme value, head towards the zero line, and then sort of round out back in the direction of the extreme price. The low point where it reversed back in the direction of the extreme can be considered support or resistance on the CCI and once the CCI Long Histogram breaks this level again, with LSMA confirmation, you can take a counter trend trade with a stop under/over the highest/lowest point of the last 2 bars as you want to be out quickly if you are wrong without much damage but can get a huge win if you are right and add later to the position once a new trade has formed.
9) The Ghost Trade. This is nothing more than a(n) (inverse) head and shoulders pattern created on the CCI. Draw a trend line connecting the head and shoulders and trade a reversal trade once the CCI Long Histogram breaks the trend line. Same deal as the Vegas Trade, stop over/under the most recent 2 bar high/low and add later if it is a winner but cut quickly if it is a loser.
Like I said, this is a complicated system and could quite literally take years to master if you wanted to go into the patterns and master them. I prefer to trade it in a much simpler format, using the Elder Triple Screen System. First, since I am a day trader, I look to use the 20 period Woodie's on the hourly and look at the CZ, SW, and LSMA values to make sure they all match the direction of the CCI Long Histogram (a trend establishment is not necessary here). It shows you the hourly trend as your "tide". I then drill down to the 15 minute time frame and use the Turbo CCI break in the opposite direction of the trend as my "wave" and to indicate when there is a dip or rip against the main trend. Lastly, I drill down to a 3 minute time frame and enter when the CCI Long Histogram turns back to match the main trend ("ripple") as long as the CCI Turbo has broken the 100 level in the matched direction.
Enjoy, and please read the pamphlet if you have any questions about the patterns as they are not how I use these and will not be able to answer those questions.
