Intramarket Difference Index StrategyHi Traders !!
The IDI Strategy:
In layman’s terms this strategy compares two indicators across markets and exploits their differences.
note: it is best the two markets are correlated as then we know we are trading a short to long term deviation from both markets' general trend with the assumption both markets will trend again sometime in the future thereby exhausting our trading opportunity.
📍 Import Notes:
This Strategy calculates trade position size independently (i.e. risk per trade is controlled in the user inputs tab), this means that the ‘Order size’ input in the ‘Properties’ tab will have no effect on the strategy. Why ? because this allows us to define custom position size algorithms which we can use to improve our risk management and equity growth over time. Here we have the option to have fixed quantity or fixed percentage of equity ATR (Average True Range) based stops in addition to the turtle trading position size algorithm.
‘Pyramiding’ does not work for this strategy’, similar to the order size input togeling this input will have no effect on the strategy as the strategy explicitly defines the maximum order size to be 1.
This strategy is not perfect, and as of writing of this post I have not traded this algo.
Always take your time to backtests and debug the strategy.
🔷 The IDI Strategy:
By default this strategy pulls data from your current TV chart and then compares it to the base market, be default BINANCE:BTCUSD . The strategy pulls SMA and RSI data from either market (we call this the difference data), standardizes the data (solving the different unit problem across markets) such that it is comparable and then differentiates the data, calling the result of this transformation and difference the Intramarket Difference (ID). The formula for the the ID is
ID = market1_diff_data - market2_diff_data (1)
Where
market(i)_diff_data = diff_data / ATR(j)_market(i)^0.5,
where i = {1, 2} and j = the natural numbers excluding 0
Formula (1) interpretation is the following
When ID > 0: this means the current market outperforms the base market
When ID = 0: Markets are at long run equilibrium
When ID < 0: this means the current market underperforms the base market
To form the strategy we define one of two strategy type’s which are Trend and Mean Revesion respectively.
🔸 Trend Case:
Given the ‘‘Strategy Type’’ is equal to TREND we define a threshold for which if the ID crosses over we go long and if the ID crosses under the negative of the threshold we go short.
The motivating idea is that the ID is an indicator of the two symbols being out of sync, and given we know volatility clustering, momentum and mean reversion of anomalies to be a stylised fact of financial data we can construct a trading premise. Let's first talk more about this premise.
For some markets (cryptocurrency markets - synthetic symbols in TV) the stylised fact of momentum is true, this means that higher momentum is followed by higher momentum, and given we know momentum to be a vector quantity (with magnitude and direction) this momentum can be both positive and negative i.e. when the ID crosses above some threshold we make an assumption it will continue in that direction for some time before executing back to its long run equilibrium of 0 which is a reasonable assumption to make if the market are correlated. For example for the BTCUSD - ETHUSD pair, if the ID > +threshold (inputs for MA and RSI based ID thresholds are found under the ‘‘INTRAMARKET DIFFERENCE INDEX’’ group’), ETHUSD outperforms BTCUSD, we assume the momentum to continue so we go long ETHUSD.
In the standard case we would exit the market when the IDI returns to its long run equilibrium of 0 (for the positive case the ID may return to 0 because ETH’s difference data may have decreased or BTC’s difference data may have increased). However in this strategy we will not define this as our exit condition, why ?
This is because we want to ‘‘let our winners run’’, to achieve this we define a trailing Donchian Channel stop loss (along with a fixed ATR based stop as our volatility proxy). If we were too use the 0 exit the strategy may print a buy signal (ID > +threshold in the simple case, market regimes may be used), return to 0 and then print another buy signal, and this process can loop may times, this high trade frequency means we fail capture the entire market move lowering our profit, furthermore on lower time frames this high trade frequencies mean we pay more transaction costs (due to price slippage, commission and big-ask spread) which means less profit.
By capturing the sum of many momentum moves we are essentially following the trend hence the trend following strategy type.
Here we also print the IDI (with default strategy settings with the MA difference type), we can see that by letting our winners run we may catch many valid momentum moves, that results in a larger final pnl that if we would otherwise exit based on the equilibrium condition(Valid trades are denoted by solid green and red arrows respectively and all other valid trades which occur within the original signal are light green and red small arrows).
another example...

Note it is possible that after printing a buy the strategy then prints many sell signals before returning to a buy, which again has the same implication (less profit. Potentially because we exit early only for price to continue upwards hence missing the larger "trend"). The image below showcases this cenario and again, by allowing our winner to run we may capture more profit (theoretically).
This should be clear...
🔸 Mean Reversion Case:
We stated prior that mean reversion of anomalies is an standerdies fact of financial data, how can we exploit this ?
We exploit this by normalizing the ID by applying the Ehlers fisher transformation. The transformed data is then assumed to be approximately normally distributed. To form the strategy we employ the same logic as for the z score, if the FT normalized ID > 2.5 (< -2.5) we buy (short). Our exit conditions remain unchanged (fixed ATR stop and trailing Donchian Trailing stop)
🔷 Position Sizing:
If ‘‘Fixed Risk From Initial Balance’’ is toggled true this means we risk a fixed percentage of our initial balance, if false we risk a fixed percentage of our equity (current balance).
Note we also employ a volatility adjusted position sizing formula, the turtle training method which is defined as follows.
Turtle position size = (1/ r * ATR * DV) * C
Where,
r = risk factor coefficient (default is 20)
ATR(j) = risk proxy, over j times steps
DV = Dollar Volatility, where DV = (1/Asset Price) * Capital at Risk
🔷 Risk Management:
Correct money management means we can limit risk and increase reward (theoretically). Here we employ
Max loss and gain per day
Max loss per trade
Max number of consecutive losing trades until trade skip
To read more see the tooltips (info circle).
🔷 Take Profit:
By defualt the script uses a Donchain Channel as a trailing stop and take profit, In addition to this the script defines a fixed ATR stop losses (by defualt, this covers cases where the DC range may be to wide making a fixed ATR stop usefull), ATR take profits however are defined but optional.
ATR SL and TP defined for all trades
🔷 Hurst Regime (Regime Filter):
The Hurst Exponent (H) aims to segment the market into three different states, Trending (H > 0.5), Random Geometric Brownian Motion (H = 0.5) and Mean Reverting / Contrarian (H < 0.5). In my interpretation this can be used as a trend filter that eliminates market noise.
We utilize the trending and mean reverting based states, as extra conditions required for valid trades for both strategy types respectively, in the process increasing our trade entry quality.

Here is an example of one configuration of this strategy, combining all aspects discussed in this post.

Fear/Greed Zone Reversals [UAlgo]The "Fear/Greed Zone Reversals " indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for TradingView, aimed at identifying potential reversal points in the market based on sentiment zones characterized by fear and greed. This indicator utilizes a combination of moving averages, standard deviations, and price action to detect when the market transitions from extreme fear to greed or vice versa. By identifying these critical turning points, traders can gain insights into potential buy or sell opportunities.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Moving Averages: The indicator allows users to select from various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) for both fear and greed zone calculations, enabling flexible adaptation to different trading strategies.
Fear Zone Settings:
Fear Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Fear Zone calculations.
Fear Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Fear Zone deviation.
Fear Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Fear Zone deviation.
Greed Zone Settings:
Greed Source: Select the price data point (e.g., close, high, low) used for Greed Zone calculations.
Greed Period: This defines the lookback window for calculating the Greed Zone deviation.
Greed Stdev Period: This sets the period used to calculate the standard deviation of the Greed Zone deviation.
Alert Conditions: Integrated alert conditions notify traders in real-time when a reversal in the fear or greed zone is detected, allowing for timely decision-making.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Greed Zone: A Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity.
Fear Zone Reversal: A Fear Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly below the chosen moving average of the selected price source. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards fear, potentially indicating a buying opportunity. When the indicator identifies a reversal from a fear zone, it suggests that the market is transitioning from a period of intense selling pressure to a more neutral or potentially bullish state. This is typically indicated by an upward arrow (▲) on the chart, signaling a potential buy opportunity. The fear zone is characterized by high price volatility and overselling, making it a crucial point for traders to consider entering the market.
Greed Zone Reversal: Conversely, a Greed Zone is highlighted when the price deviates significantly above the chosen moving average. This suggests market sentiment might be leaning towards greed, potentially indicating a selling opportunity. When the indicator detects a reversal from a greed zone, it indicates that the market may be moving from an overbought condition back to a more neutral or bearish state. This is marked by a downward arrow (▼) on the chart, suggesting a potential sell opportunity. The greed zone is often associated with overconfidence and high buying activity, which can precede a market correction.
🔶 Why offer multiple moving average types?
By providing various moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) , the indicator offers greater flexibility for traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and market preferences. Different moving averages react differently to price data and can produce varying signals.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Provides an equal weighting to all data points within the specified period.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Gives more weight to recent data points, making it more responsive to price changes.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Allows for custom weighting of data points, providing more flexibility in the calculation.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average): Considers both price and volume data, giving more weight to periods with higher trading volume.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): A combination of weighted moving averages designed to reduce lag and provide a smoother curve.
Offering multiple options allows traders to:
Experiment: Traders can try different moving averages to see which one produces the most accurate signals for their specific market.
Adapt to different market conditions: Different market conditions may require different moving average types. For example, a fast-moving market might benefit from a faster moving average like an EMA, while a slower-moving market might be better suited to a slower moving average like an SMA.
Personalize: Traders can choose the moving average that best aligns with their personal trading style and risk tolerance.
In essence, providing a variety of moving average types empowers traders to create a more personalized and effective trading experience.

Swing Trend AnalysisIntroducing the Swing Trend Analyzer: A Powerful Tool for Swing and Positional Trading
The Swing Trend Analyzer is a cutting-edge indicator designed to enhance your swing and positional trading by providing precise entry points based on volatility contraction patterns and other key technical signals. This versatile tool is packed with features that cater to traders of all timeframes, offering flexibility, clarity, and actionable insights.
Key Features:
1. Adaptive Moving Averages:
The Swing Trend Analyzer offers multiple moving averages tailored to the timeframe you are trading on. On the daily chart, you can select up to four different moving average lengths, while all other timeframes provide three moving averages. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune your analysis according to your trading strategy. Disabling a moving average is as simple as setting its value to zero, making it easy to customize the indicator to your needs.
2. Dynamic Moving Average Colors Based on Relative Strength:
This feature allows you to compare the performance of the current ticker against a major index or any symbol of your choice. The moving average will change color based on whether the ticker is outperforming or underperforming the selected index over the chosen period. For example, on a daily chart, if the 21-day moving average turns blue, it indicates that the ticker has outperformed the selected index over the last 21 days. This visual cue helps you quickly identify relative strength, a key factor in successful swing trading.
3. Visual Identification of Price Contractions:
The Swing Trend Analyzer changes the color of price bars to white (on a dark theme) or black (on a light theme) when a contraction in price is detected. Price contractions are highlighted when either of the following conditions is met: a) the current bar is an inside bar, or b) the price range of the current bar is less than the 14-period Average Daily Range (ADR). This feature makes it easier to spot price contractions across all timeframes, which is crucial for timing entries in swing trading.
4. Overhead Supply Detection with Automated Resistance Lines:
The indicator intelligently detects the presence of overhead supply and draws a single resistance line to avoid clutter on the chart. As price breaches the resistance line, the old line is automatically deleted, and a new resistance line is drawn at the appropriate level. This helps you focus on the most relevant resistance levels, reducing noise and improving decision-making.
5. Buyable Gap Up Marker: The indicator highlights bars in blue when a candle opens with a gap that remains unfilled. These bars are potential Buyable Gap Up (BGU) candidates, signaling opportunities for long-side entries.
6. Comprehensive Swing Trading Information Table:
The indicator includes a detailed table that provides essential data for swing trading:
a. Sector and Industry Information: Understand the sector and industry of the ticker to identify stocks within strong sectors.
b. Key Moving Averages Distances (10MA, 21MA, 50MA, 200MA): Quickly assess how far the current price is from key moving averages. The color coding indicates whether the price is near or far from these averages, offering vital visual cues.
c. Price Range Analysis: Compare the current bar's price range with the previous bar's range to spot contraction patterns.
d. ADR (20, 10, 5): Displays the Average Daily Range over the last 20, 10, and 5 periods, crucial for identifying contraction patterns. On the weekly chart, the ADR continues to provide daily chart information.
e. 52-Week High/Low Data: Shows how close the stock is to its 52-week high or low, with color coding to highlight proximity, aiding in the identification of potential breakout or breakdown candidates.
f. 3-Month Price Gain: See the price gain over the last three months, which helps identify stocks with recent momentum.
7. Pocket Pivot Detection with Visual Markers:
Pocket pivots are a powerful bullish signal, especially relevant for swing trading. Pocket pivots are crucial for swing trading and are effective across all timeframes. The indicator marks pocket pivots with circular markers below the price bar:
a. 10-Day Pocket Pivot: Identified when the volume exceeds the maximum selling volume of the last 10 days. These are marked with a blue circle.
b. 5-Day Pocket Pivot: Identified when the volume exceeds the maximum selling volume of the last 5 days. These are marked with a green circle.
The Swing Trend Analyzer is designed to provide traders with the tools they need to succeed in swing and positional trading. Whether you're looking for precise entry points, analyzing relative strength, or identifying key price contractions, this indicator has you covered. Experience the power of advanced technical analysis with the Swing Trend Analyzer and take your trading to the next level.
VWAP Bands [TradingFinder] 26 Brokers Data (Forex + Crypto)🔵 Introduction
Indicators are tools that help analysts predict the price trend of a stock through mathematical calculations on price or trading volume. It is evident that trading volume significantly impacts the price trend of a stock symbol.
The Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator combines the influence of trading volume and price, providing technical analysts with a practical tool.
This technical indicator determines the volume-weighted average price of a symbol over a specified time period. Consequently, this indicator can be used to identify trends and entry or exit points.
🟣 Calculating the VWAP Indicator
Adding the VWAP indicator to a chart will automatically perform all calculations for you. However, if you wish to understand how this indicator is calculated, the following explains the steps involved.
Consider a 5-minute chart. In the first candle of this chart (which represents price information in the first 5 minutes), sum the high, low, and close prices, and divide by 3. Multiply the resulting number by the volume for the period and call it a variable (e.g., X).
Then, divide the resulting output by the total volume for that period to calculate your VWAP. To maintain the VWAP sequence throughout the trading day, it is necessary to add the X values obtained from each period to the previous period and divide by the total volume up to that time. It is worth noting that the calculation method is the same for intervals shorter than a day.
The mathematical formula for this VWAP indicator : VWAP = ∑ (Pi×Vi) / ∑ Vi
🔵 How to Use
Traders might consider the VWAP indicator as a tool for predicting trends. For example, they might buy a stock when the price is above the VWAP level and sell it when the price is below the VWAP.
In other words, when the price is above the VWAP, the price is rising, and when it is below the VWAP, the price is falling. Major traders and investment funds also use the VWAP ratio to help enter or exit stocks with the least possible market impact.
It is important to note that one should not rely solely on the VWAP indicator when analyzing symbols. This is because if prices rise quickly, the VWAP indicator may not adequately describe the conditions. This indicator is generally used for daily or shorter time frames because using longer intervals can distort the average.
Since this indicator uses past data in its calculations, it can be considered a lagging indicator. As a result, the more data there is, the greater the delay.
🟣 Difference Between VWAP and Simple Moving Average
On a chart, the VWAP and the simple moving average may look similar, but these two indicators have different calculations. The VWAP calculates the total price considering volume, while the simple moving average does not consider volume.
In simpler terms, the VWAP indicator measures each day's price change relative to the trading volume that occurred that day. In contrast, the simple moving average implicitly assumes that all trading days have the same volume.
🟣 Reasons Why Traders Like the VWAP Indicator
The VWAP Considers Volume: Since VWAP takes volume into account, it can be more reliable than a simple arithmetic average of prices. Theoretically, one person can buy 200,000 shares of a symbol in one transaction at a single price.
However, during the same time frame, 100 other people might place 200 different orders at various prices that do not total 100,000 shares. In this case, if you only consider the average price, you might be mistaken because trading volume is ignored.
The Indicator Can Help Day Traders: While reviewing your trades, you might notice that the shares you bought at market price are trading below the VWAP indicator.
In this case, there's no need to worry because with the help of VWAP, you always get a price below the average. By knowing the volume-weighted average price of a stock, you can easily make an informed decision about paying more or less than other traders for the stock.
VWAP Can Signal Market Trend Changes: Buying low and selling high can be an excellent strategy for individuals. However, you are looking to buy when prices start to rise and sell your shares when prices start to fall.
Since the VWAP indicator simulates a balanced price in the market, when the price crosses above the VWAP line, one can assume that traders are willing to pay more to acquire shares, and as a result, the market will grow. Conversely, when the price crosses below the line, this can be considered a sign of a downward movement.
🔵 Setting
Period : Indicator calculation time frame.
Source : The Price used for calculations.
Market Ultra Data : If you turn on this feature, 26 large brokers will be included in the calculation of the trading volume.
The advantage of this capability is to have more reliable volume data. You should be careful to specify the market you are in, FOREX brokers and Crypto brokers are different.
Multiplier : Coefficient of band lines.
Stochastic Biquad Band Pass FilterThis indicator combines the power of a biquad band pass filter with the popular stochastic oscillator to provide a unique tool for analyzing price movements.
The Filter Length parameter determines the center frequency of the biquad band pass filter, affecting which frequency band is isolated. Adjusting this parameter allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It represents the bandwidth between -3 dB frequencies for the band pass filter. A narrower bandwidth results in a more focused filtering effect, isolating a tighter range of frequencies.
The %K Length parameter sets the period for the stochastic calculation, determining the range over which the stochastic values are calculated.
The %K Smoothing parameter applies a simple moving average to the %K values to smooth out the oscillator line.
The %D Length parameter sets the period for the %D line, which is a simple moving average of the %K line, providing a signal line for the oscillator.
Key Features of the Stochastic Biquad Band Pass Filter
Biquad filters are known for their smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making them ideal for technical analysis. In this implementation, the biquad filter is configured as a band pass filter, which allows frequencies within a specified band to pass while attenuating frequencies outside this band. This is particularly useful in trading to isolate specific price movements, making it easier to detect patterns and trends within a targeted frequency range.
The stochastic oscillator is a popular momentum indicator that shows the location of the close relative to the high-low range over a set number of periods. Combining it with a biquad band pass filter enhances its effectiveness by focusing on specific frequency bands of price movements.
By incorporating this stochastic biquad band pass filter into your trading toolkit, you can enhance your chart analysis with clearer insights into specific frequency bands of price movements, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Internal Bar Strength IBS [Anan]This indicator calculates and displays the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) along with its moving average. The IBS is a measure that represents where the closing price is relative to the high-low range of a given period.
█ Main Formula
The core of this indicator is the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) calculation. The basic IBS formula is:
ibs = (close - low) / (high - low)
I enhanced the original formula by incorporating a user-defined length parameter. This modification allows for greater flexibility in analysis and interpretation. The extended version enables users to adjust the indicator's length according to their specific needs or market conditions. Notably, setting the length parameter to 1 reproduces the behavior of the original formula, maintaining backward compatibility while offering expanded functionality:
ibs = (close - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length)) / (ta.highest(high, ibs_length) - ta.lowest(low, ibs_length))
Where:
- `close` is the closing price of the current bar
- `lowest low` is the lowest low price over the specified IBS length
- `highest high` is the highest high price over the specified IBS length
█ Key Features
- Calculates IBS using a user-defined length
- Applies a moving average to the IBS values
- Offers multiple moving average types
- Includes optional Bollinger Bands or Donchian Channel overlays
- Visualizes bull and bear areas
█ Inputs
- IBS Length: The period used for IBS calculation
- MA Type: The type of moving average applied to IBS (options: SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA, Bollinger Bands, Donchian)
- MA Length: The period used for the moving average calculation
- BB StdDev: Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands
█ How to Use and Interpret
1. IBS Line Interpretation:
- IBS values range from 0 to 1
- Values close to 1 indicate the close was near the high, suggesting a bullish sentiment
- Values close to 0 indicate the close was near the low, suggesting a bearish sentiment
- Values around 0.5 suggest the close was near the middle of the range
2. Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
- IBS values above 0.8 (teal zone) may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS values below 0.2 (red zone) may indicate oversold conditions
- These zones can be used to identify potential reversal points
3. Trend Identification:
- Consistent IBS values above 0.5 may indicate an uptrend
- Consistent IBS values below 0.5 may indicate a downtrend
4. Using Moving Averages:
- The yellow MA line can help smooth out IBS fluctuations
- Crossovers between the IBS and its MA can signal potential trend changes
5. Bollinger Bands/Donchian Channel:
- When enabled, these can provide additional context for overbought/oversold conditions
- IBS touching or exceeding the upper band may indicate overbought conditions
- IBS touching or falling below the lower band may indicate oversold conditions
Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always combine IBS analysis with other technical indicators, price action analysis, and broader market context for more reliable trading decisions.

Nasan Moving AverageNasan Moving Average belong to the group of moving average which provides a high degree of smoothness with very low lag.
The calculation process involves several steps to analyze the typical price of a financial asset over specific periods. It starts by computing a simple moving average and standard deviation of the typical price. Then, it standardizes (differencing TP - Average Typical price over previous n periods) the price and applies an inverse hyperbolic sine transformation to the standardized value. The transformed values are summed cumulatively, and various weighted moving averages are calculated to adjust and smooth the data. The final output is a smoothed signal with reduced lag.
Input Parameters:
len: Differencing length (default 21, Use a minimum of 5 and for lower time frames less than 15 min use values between 300 -3000)
len1: Correction Factor Length 1 (default 21, this determines the length of the MA you want , eg. 10 MA, 50 MA, 100 MA, )
len2: Correction Factor Length 2 (default 9, this works best if it is ~ </=1/2 of len1 )
len3: Smoothing Length (default 5, I would not change this and only use if I want to introduce lag where you want to use it for cross over strategies).
Differencing and Standardization:
The code calculates the standardized price a by differencing the typical price and normalizing it using the mean and standard deviation. This step standardizes the price changes.
Transformation:
The transformation using logarithms and square roots (b) aim to stabilize the variance and make the distribution more normal-like, improving the robustness of the cumulative sum c.
Cumulative Sum:
The cumulative sum c of the transformed series helps in integrating the series over time, capturing the overall trend and movement.
Correction Factors:
Correction factors c1 and c4 adjust the cumulative sum based on weighted averages, to correct any biases or to align it with the typical price.
Smoothing:
The final result c6 is smoothed using a weighted moving average, reducing noise and making it easier to interpret trends.
Moving average to price cloudHi all!
This indicator shows when the price crosses the defined moving average. It plots a green or red cloud (depending on trend) and the moving average. It also plots an arrow when the trend changes (this can be disabled in 'style'->'labels' in the settings).
The moving average itself can be used as dynamic support/resistance. The trend will change based on your settings (described below). By default the trend will change when the whole bar is above/below the moving average for 2 bars (that's closed). This can be changed by "Source" and "Bars".
Settings
• Length (choose the length of the moving average. Defaults to 21)
• Type (choose what type of moving average).
- "SMA" (Simple Moving Average)
- "EMA" (Exponential Moving Average)
- "HMA" (Hull Moving Average)
- "WMA" (Weighted Moving Average)
- "VWMA" (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
- "DEMA" (Double Exponential Moving Average)
Defaults to"EMA".
• Source (Define the price source that must be above/below the moving average for the trend to change. Defaults to 'High/low (passive)')
- 'Open' The open of the bar has to cross the moving average
- 'Close' The close of the bar has to cross the moving average
- 'High/low (passive)' In a down trend: the low of the bar has to cross the moving average
- 'High/low (aggressive)' In a down trend: the high of the bar has to cross the moving average
• Source bar must be close. Defaults to 'true'.
• Bars (Define the number bars whose value (defined in 'Source') must be above/below the moving average. All the bars (defined by this number) must be above/below the moving average for the trend to change. Defaults to 2.)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal"Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal" leverages Bollinger Bands and moving averages to provide dynamic buy and sell signals based on market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to identify strategic entry and exit points based on volatility and trend analysis.
How It Works
Bollinger Bands Setup: The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands using a specified length and multiplier. These bands serve to identify potential overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band) conditions.
Moving Averages: Two moving averages are calculated — a trend moving average (trendMA) and a long-term moving average (longTermMA) — to gauge the market's direction over different time frames.
Market Phase Determination: The script classifies the market into bullish or bearish phases based on the relationship of the closing price to the long-term moving average.
Strong Buy and Sell Signals: Enhanced signals are generated based on how significantly the price deviates from the Bollinger Bands, coupled with the average candle size over a specified lookback period. The signals are adjusted based on whether the market is bullish or bearish:
In bullish markets, a strong buy signal is triggered if the price significantly drops below the lower Bollinger Band. Conversely, a strong sell signal is activated when the price rises well above the upper band.
In bearish markets, these signals are modified to be more conservative, adjusting the thresholds for triggering strong buy and sell signals.
Features:
Flexibility: Users can adjust the length of the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, as well as the multipliers and factors that determine the strength of buy and sell signals, making it highly customizable to different trading styles and market conditions.
Visual Aids: The script vividly plots the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, and signals are visually represented on the chart, allowing traders to quickly assess trading opportunities:
Regular buy and sell signals are indicated by simple shapes below or above price bars.
Strong buy and sell signals are highlighted with distinctive colors and placed prominently to catch the trader's attention.
Background Coloring: The background color changes based on the market phase, providing an immediate visual cue of the market's overall sentiment.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on technical analysis to guide their trading decisions. By integrating both Bollinger Bands and moving averages, it provides a multi-faceted view of market trends and volatility, making it suitable for identifying potential reversals and continuation patterns. Traders can use this tool to enhance their understanding of market dynamics and refine their trading strategies accordingly.
Alligator + MA Trend Catcher [TradeDots]The "Alligator + MA Trend Catcher" is a trading strategy that integrates the William Alligator indicator with a Moving Average (MA) to establish robust entry and exit conditions, optimized for capturing trends.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy combines the traditional William Alligator set up with an additional Moving Average indicator for enhanced trend confirmation, creating a user-friendly backtesting tool for traders who prefer the Alligator method.
The original Alligator strategy can frequently present fluctuations, even in well-established trends, leading to potentially premature exits. To mitigate this, we incorporate a Moving Average as a secondary confirmation measure to ensure the market trend has indeed shifted.
Here’s the operational flow for long orders:
Entry Signal: When the price rises above the Moving Average, it confirms a bullish market state. Enter if Alligator spread in an upward direction. The trade remains active even if the Alligator indicator suggests a trend reversal.
Exit Signal: The position is closed when the price falls below the Moving Average, and the Alligator spreads in the downward direction. This setup helps traders to maintain positions through the entirety of the trend for maximum gain.
APPLICATION
This strategy is tailored for assets with significant, well-defined trends, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are known for their high volatility and substantial price movements.
This strategy offers a low win-rate but high reward configuration, making asset selection critical for long-term profitability. If you choose assets that lack strong price momentum, there's a high chance that this strategy may not be effective.
For traders seeking to maximize gains from large trends without exiting prematurely, this strategy provides an aggressive yet controlled approach to riding out substantial market waves.

First In, First Out Moving AverageThis script is a tool designed to calculate a First In, First Out (FIFO) Moving Average (MA) using traded prices and volumes. Additionally, it computes the Point of Control (PoC) from, which identifies the price levels (developing POC) with the maximum volume. The script is built to provide traders with a comprehensive analysis of price movements and volume dynamics, enhancing their understanding of market trends and potential entry/exit points.
Understanding the Mechanics:
The script maintains arrays for prices and volumes, where hypothetical trades are added.
For long trades (identified by red candles/bars), traded prices and volumes are appended to the respective arrays.
Short trades (identified by green candles/bars) trigger the removal of volumes from the arrays following the FIFO principle.
This process ensures the adjustment of partial or complete removal of oldest entries based on traded volume.
Analyzing Profit and Loss (PnL):
The script also tracks a hypothetical Profit and Loss (PnL) to understand whether the outcome is in red (negative) or green (positive) - color of the FIFO MA.
Interpreting the Results:
Once the script is applied to the chart, traders can observe the FIFO Moving Average (MA) and Point of Control (PoC) lines plotted.
By analyzing these lines and the associated colors (indicating positive or negative PnL), traders can make informed decisions regarding market trends, support/resistance levels and potential trading opportunities.
Range Finder [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Range Finder " indicator aims at identifying and visualizing price ranges within a specified number of candles. By utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) indicator and Simple Moving Average (SMA), it detects potential breakout conditions and tracks consecutive candles that remain within the breakout range. This indicator offers flexibility by allowing users to customize settings such as range length, method for determining range breaks (based on either candle close or wick), and visualization options for displaying range breaks on the chart.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Ranges: The Range Finder automatically adapts to the market by continuously evaluating the Average True Range (ATR) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA). This helps in dynamically adjusting the range based on market volatility.
Range Length: Users can specify the number of candles to be used for constructing the range via the "Range Length" input setting. This allows for customization based on trading strategies and preferences.
Range Break Method: The indicator offers the flexibility to choose between two methods for identifying range breaks. Users can select between "Close" or "Wick" based on their preference for using the closing price or the highs and lows (including wicks) of candles for defining the breakout.
Show Range Breaks: This option enables visual representation of range breaks on the chart. When activated, labels with the letter "B" will appear at the breakout point, colored according to the breakout direction (upward breakouts in the chosen up range color and downward breakouts in the chosen down range color).
Range Color Customization: The indicator provides the ability to personalize the visual appearance of the range by selecting preferred colors for ranges indicating potential upward and downward breakouts.
🔶 Disclaimer
It's important to understand that the Range Finder indicator is intended for informational purposes only and should not be solely relied upon for making trading decisions. Trading financial instruments involves inherent risks, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

The OG Outback [TTF]The Outback indicator
After a major overhaul of our Outback strategy, we decided that we would make our original version available for anyone to use.
The fundamental element of this indicator is based on price action relative to a slow moving average. That said, given that price will always tend towards a moving average, we have also implemented a method for helping filter out false signals leveraging a "consolidation cloud" and fast moving average. This, coupled with references to a customized version of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), has enabled us to provide significantly higher quality signals relating to price crossing a moving average.
Note: For this version, we have only prepared a single set of conditions and alerts (as noted by the 🦘 symbols). However it's worth noting there are several variations that can be done with some fundamental technical analysis and referencing additional indicators that can take this foundation and build upon it for a substantial increase in risk/reward and profit targets.
Moving Average PropertiesThis indicator calculates and visualizes the Relative Smoothness (RS) and Relative Lag (RL) or call it accuracy of a selected moving average (MA) in comparison to the SMA of length 2 (the lowest possible length for a moving average and also the one closest to the price).
Median RS (Relative Smoothness):
Interpretation: The median RS represents the median value of the Relative Smoothness calculated for the selected moving average across a specified look-back period (max bar lookback is set at 3000).
Significance: A more negative (larger) median RS suggests that the chosen moving average has exhibited smoother price behavior compared to a simple moving average over the analyzed period. A less negative value indicates a relatively choppier price movement.
Median RL (Relative Lag):
Interpretation: The median RL represents the median value of the Relative Lag calculated for the selected moving average compared to a simple moving average of length 2.
Significance: A higher median RL indicates that the chosen moving average tends to lag more compared to a simple moving average. Conversely, lower values suggest less lag in the selected moving average.
Ratio of Median RS to Median RL:
Interpretation: This ratio is calculated by dividing the median RS by the median RL.
Significance: Traders might use this ratio to assess the balance between smoothness and lag in the chosen moving average. This a measure of for every % of lag what is the smoothness achieved. This can be used a benchmark to decide what length to choose for a MA to get an equivalent value between two stocks. For example a TESLA stock on a 15 minute time frame with a length of 12 has a value (ratio of RS/RL) of -150 , where as APPLE stock of length 35 on a 15 minute chart also has a value (ratio of RS/RL) of -150.
I imply that a MA of length 12 working on TESLA stock is equivalent to MA of length 35 on a APPLE stock. (THIS IS A EXAMPLE).
My assumption is that finding the right moving average length for a stock isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. It's not just about using a fixed length; it's about adapting to the unique characteristics of each stock. I believe that what works for one stock might not work for another because they have different levels of smoothness or lag in their price movements. So, instead of applying the same length to all stocks, I suggest adjusting the length of the moving average to match the values that we know work best for achieving the desired smoothness or lag or its ratio (RS/RL). This way, we're customizing the indicator for each stock, tailoring it to their individual behaviors rather than sticking to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Users can choose from various types of moving averages (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA) and customize the length of the moving average. RS measures the smoothness of the MA, while RL measures its lag compared to a simple moving average. The script plots the median RS and RL values, the selected MA, and the ratio of median RS to median RL on the price chart. Traders can use this information to assess the performance of different moving averages and potentially inform their trading decisions.
MTF VWAPThis indicator is an enhanced version of the traditional VWAP, providing traders with multiple timeframe views, automatic session anchoring, and customization options for optimized technical analysis.
Key Features:
1. Multiple Timeframes, One View : Visualize Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly VWAP calculations simultaneously on a single chart.
2. Automatic Anchoring : The indicator intelligently auto-anchors each VWAP calculation to the start of its respective session. This ensures accurate readings and streamlines your analysis by eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
3. Customizability : Tailor the appearance of the indicator with fully customizable colors and the ability to select your preferred price source (e.g., high, low, close, hlc3, hlcc4, or a custom one).
Volume Candle DistributionThe Volume Candle Distribution (VCD) indicator examines the volume distribution across candle type, distinguishes between neutral, bullish and bearish volume pressures.
The VCD indicator calculates and displays the cumulative volume of bullish and bearish candles over a user-defined period, aggregates the volumes of bullish and bearish candles separately and plots them.
Bullish Volume : This is accumulated when the closing price of a candle is higher than the opening price, the VCD adds up the volume of bullish candle within the user-defined period, and consequently subtracts the volume when bearish candle.
Bearish Volume : Conversely, when the closing price is lower than the opening price, the volume of that candle is considered bearish, the VCD sums the volume of bearish candles over the same period, and consequently subtracts the volume when bullish candle.
Neutral Volume : In cases where the opening and closing prices are equal, the volume of that candle is treated as neutral, and the VCD subtracts the volume from both candles.
The 3 Simple Moving Average (SMAs) included is based volume calculated separately for both bullish and bearish volume data, and the sum of them.
Qu_Trend+
composition
- Consists of a thick trend line and a thin yellow line.
- The largest (green/red) lines indicate rising and falling markets.
- This line represents the 13-candle moving average of Tilson T3.
- The reason for 13 candles is because it best matches the recent market price based on Bitcoin.
- This value cannot be changed, so if you need it, please modify the public code and use it.
- The yellow line is the MA20 line, the ‘Bollinger Band center line’
(UI will show whether this line has been breakout)
- The same algorithm as 20 of the basic moving average (close standard) is applied.
- The algorithm for breakthrough is calculated based on real-time prices, not based on closing prices.
An additional short-term SMA is created, and whether it crosses the SMA is classified as a breakout/resistance.
How to use it
- If the trend line becomes gentle, it may indicate a change in trend when + MA20 is broken.
- While the slope of the trend line is steep, it indicates that the trend is difficult to change.
(If the trend changes at this time, it is likely to move sideways)
- If the trend changes continuously, it is a sideways market.
At this time, watch out for the movement of the end point where the sideways trend ends.
