30-Week SMA (Fixed)This indicator plots a true 30-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) on any chart, regardless of the selected timeframe.
It uses weekly candle data (via the request.security() function) to calculate the 30-week average and keeps it fixed — meaning the line remains accurate even when you switch to daily, 4-hour, or other timeframes.
The 30-week SMA is a cornerstone of Stan Weinstein’s Stage Analysis strategy, commonly used to identify major trend phases:
Above a rising SMA → bullish (Stage 2 uptrend)
Below a falling SMA → bearish (Stage 4 downtrend)
Use this indicator to maintain a consistent long-term trend filter on all timeframes

Symmetric MA DeviationThis script used the 50 simple moving average and calculates how far the price is from it.
It can be used for looking at extremes in price and bullish / bearish divergence.
Fiyat - 55 EMA Uzaklık SinyaliThis indicator generates a signal when the price moves a certain percentage away from the 55-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
It helps traders identify when the market is stretched too far from its mean level, which can indicate potential reversal or continuation zones.
⚙️ How It Works
Calculates the 55 EMA on the selected chart.
Measures the percentage distance between the current price and the 55 EMA.
When the price distance exceeds the user-defined threshold (default: 0.50%), a visual signal (orange triangle) appears on the chart.
The background also highlights the signal candle.
🧩 Inputs
EMA Length: Default = 55 (can be changed).
Distance Threshold (%): Default = 0.50 → Change to detect stronger or weaker price deviations.

Puell Multiple Variants [OperationHeadLessChicken]Overview
This script contains three different, but related indicators to visualise Bitcoin miner revenue.
The classical Puell Multiple : historically, it has been good at signaling Bitcoin cycle tops and bottoms, but due to the diminishing rewards miners get after each halving, it is not clear how you determine overvalued and undervalued territories on it. Here is how the other two modified versions come into play:
Halving-Corrected Puell Multiple : The idea is to multiply the miner revenue after each halving with a correction factor, so overvalued levels are made comparable by a horizontal line across cycles. After experimentation, this correction factor turned out to be around 1.63. This brings cycle tops close to each other, but we lose the ability to see undervalued territories as a horizontal region. The third variant aims to fix this:
Miner Revenue Relative Strength Index (Miner Revenue RSI) : It uses RSI to map miner revenue into the 0-100 range, making it easy to visualise over/undervalued territories. With correct parameter settings, it eliminates the diminishing nature of the original Puell Multiple, and shows both over- and undervalued revenues correctly.
Example usage
The goal is to determine cycle tops and bottoms. I recommend using it on high timeframes, like monthly or weekly . Lower than that, you will see a lot of noise, but it could still be used. Here I use monthly as the example.
The classical Puell Multiple is included for reference. It is calculated as Miner Revenue divided by the 365-day Moving Average of the Miner Revenue . As you can see in the picture below, it has been good at signaling tops at 1,3,5,7.
The problems:
- I have to switch the Puell Multiple to a logarithmic scale
- Still, I cannot use a horizontal oversold territory
- 5 didn't touch the trendline, despite being a cycle top
- 9 touched the trendline despite not being a cycle top
Halving-Corrected Puell Multiple (yellow): Multiplies the Puell Multiple by 1.63 (a number determined via experimentation) after each halving. In the picture below, you can see how the Classical (white) and Corrected (yellow) Puell Multiples compare:
Advantages:
- Now you can set a constant overvalued level (12.49 in my case)
- 1,3,7 are signaled correctly as cycle tops
- 9 is correctly not signaled as a cycle top
Caveats:
- Now you don't have bottom signals anymore
- 5 is still not signaled as cycle top
Let's see if we can further improve this:
Miner Revenue RSI (blue):
On the monthly, you can see that an RSI period of 6, an overvalued threshold of 90, and an undervalued threshold of 35 have given historically pretty good signals.
Advantages:
- Uses two simple and clear horizontal levels for undervalued and overvalued levels
- Signaling 1,3,5,7 correctly as cycle tops
- Correctly does not signal 9 as a cycle top
- Signaling 4,6,8 correctly as cycle bottoms
Caveats:
- Misses two as a cycle bottom, although it was a long time ago when the Bitcoin market was much less mature
- In the past, gave some early overvalued signals
Usage
Using the example above, you can apply these indicators to any timeframe you like and tweak their parameters to obtain signals for overvalued/undervalued BTC prices
You can show or hide any of the three indicators individually
Set overvalued/undervalued thresholds for each => the background will highlight in green (undervalued) or red (overvalued)
Set special parameters for the given indicators: correction factor for the Corrected Puell and RSI period for Revenue RSI
Show or hide halving events on the indicator panel
All parameters and colours are adjustable
Money Line ApproximationSimilar to Ivan's money line minus the Macro data.
How to Interpret and Use It
Bullish Setup : Green line + buy signal = Potential entry (e.g., buy on pullback to the line). Expect upward momentum if RSI stays below 75.
Bearish Setup : Red line + sell signal = Potential exit or short (e.g., sell near the line). Watch for RSI above 25 confirming downside.
Neutral Periods : Yellow line indicates indecision—best to wait for a flip rather than force trades.
Strengths : Simple, visual, and filtered against extremes; works well in trending markets by blending EMAs and using RSI to avoid overbought buys or oversold sells.

DayTrader Plug and Play Score Strategy HSBeen playing around with automating a strategy and to make something more flexible in updating indicators/ risk reward scenarios.
I Trade on 5 min timeframe choosing stocks from a day trading scanner I use to evaluate premarket movement.
This script take into account short term EMA crossovers, VWAP, RSI, Candlesticks, and previous day S/R lines to determine buy/sell points. It Mostly runs on a VWAP strategy and will only buy when price is above VWAP and only sell when price is below VWAP. But uses the other indicators as more confirmations.
All of these indicators come together to form a score 1-8.5 and gives buy/sell signals based on the score.
Strategy is as below:
My Stock scanner gives me anywhere from 3-5 stocks per day to trade. (Not included)
Strategy will only trade once per day per stock.
Strategy closes positions after 2 hours in the market.
Strategy closes all positions 5 min before end of day close.
Trade size is set to 1% of the account size. The risk is 2% of that trade, reward is 4%.
Score threshold for hitting the indicator threshold is set to 5.5 score

Reversal Super ScalperUsing Grok I've combined several indicators to be used for scalping reversals. My goal is to make sure it alerts me when all of the below conditions have been met.
Indicators that were combined to make this
FluidTrades - SMC Lite indicator - by Pmgjiv
Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts - by DreamsDefined
WaveTrend Filtered Signals (LazyBear Style) - by Uncle_the_shooter
Q-Trend - by tarasenko_
This strategy is for scalping on the 5 minute timeframe.
This way I can set alerts when the price action is close to demand or support levels marked out by the FluidTrades - SMC Lite indicator, the Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts indicator shows oversold if i'm trying to enter a long position or overbought if I'm trying to enter a short position, and the WaveTrend Filtered Signals indicator pops up a buy/sell signal either on the same 5 min candle or two 5 min candles before the Q-Trend buy/sell signal pops up. Once all of these conditions are met, this is when I would enter into a position at the close of the trigger candle from Q-Trend.
Here is an example of how to use this strategy
BUY (LONG) SIGNAL CONDITIONS
Price action must fall back into a level of demand marked out by the FluidTrades indicator.
The candle wick may cross below the demand level, and the candle body may cross slightly below it, as long as the candle does not close below the demand zone.
If any candle closes below the demand level, the buy signal created by the Q-Trend indicator is canceled. The WaveTrend Filtered Signals indicator should generate an alert on the current 5 min candle that Q-trend is generating a buy signal or two 5 min candles before it.
Money Flow Index (MFI) Condition:
On the candle where the buy signal is triggered by the Q-Trend indicator, the MFI must be oversold, with the white line below the 40 level, inside the Red Zone.
When the above conditions are met, enter after the close of the BUY signal trigger candle.
For the short signal it is the opposite of these conditions.
EMA 10/20This serves to include the EMA 10 and EMA 20 in one indicator rather than use 2 separate indicators for convenience purpose.
Golden Cross 50/200Simplicity characterizes each of my trading systems and methods. On this occasion, I present a trend-following strategy with simple rules and high profitability.
System Rules:
-Long entries when the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA.
-Stop Loss (SL) placed at the low of 15 candles prior to the entry candle.
-Take Profit (TP) triggered when the 50 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA.
As with any trend-following system, we sacrifice win rate for profitability, and of course, we will focus on traditional markets with a consistent trend-following nature over time.

Key Levels (PA, MAs, VWAPs, Volume Profile, rVWAPs)This indicator marks all kinds of key levels so that users can keep an overview of their specified levels in a convenient non chart cluttering way. It can highlight levels of confluence or display each level seperately.
The indicator includes markers for the following levels:
Price Action: Opens, Previous High/Low, Monday Range
Moving Averages: H4, D1 and W1 with customisable lengths
VWAPs: Developing and Previous VWAPs with their respective VAL/VAH (1 Standard Deviation)
Rolling VWAPs
Volume Profile: Developing and Previous VAL/VAH/POC
What makes this indicator different is its vast customisation options and big library of levels…
… users can choose to merge all levels that are aligned in a specified % threshold and additionally they can choose to color them the same color to highlight confluence levels.
… users have the choice between Full Label Markers or Abbreviations of those Labels.
… users have the choice of a few presets making level switching fast and convenient (Price Action, Volume Profile, VWAP, Volume or Custom).
… users can specify if they prefer to highlight Simple Moving Averages or Exponential Moving Averages. They have calculations available on three different timeframes and can change the lengths of each.
… users can color all levels the same with one click instead of having to manually change all of them.
… when users choose Volume Profile Levels they can either let the script auto calculate the row size making asset switching simple or they can manually input row size.
With the custom preset users can show and hide whichever levels they want.
(To have them the same every time you freshly load the indicator save your settings as default in the lower left corner of the settings tab).
Purpose
This indicator is designed to serve as a level visualisation tool that has the ability to highlight levels of confluence. It may assist in keeping an overview of where all levels are currently located but does not produce signals or trade recommendations.
Portfolio Strategy TesterThe Portfolio Strategy Tester is an institutional-grade backtesting framework that evaluates the performance of trend-following strategies on multi-asset portfolios. It enables users to construct custom portfolios of up to 30 assets and apply moving average crossover strategies across individual holdings. The model features a clear, color-coded table that provides a side-by-side comparison between the buy-and-hold portfolio and the portfolio using the risk management strategy, offering a comprehensive assessment of both approaches relative to the benchmark.
Portfolios are constructed by entering each ticker symbol in the menu, assigning its respective weight, and reviewing the total sum of individual weights displayed at the top left of the table. For strategy selection, users can choose between Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Wilder’s Moving Average (RMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). Moving average lengths are defined in the menu and apply only to strategy-enabled assets.
To accurately replicate real-world portfolio conditions, users can choose between daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly rebalancing frequencies and decide whether cash is held or redistributed. Daily rebalancing maintains constant portfolio weights, while longer intervals allow natural drift. When cash positions are not allowed, capital from bearish assets is automatically redistributed proportionally among bullish assets, ensuring the portfolio remains fully invested at all times. The table displays a comprehensive set of widely used institutional-grade performance metrics:
CAGR = Compounded annual growth rate of returns.
Volatility = Annualized standard deviation of returns.
Sharpe = CAGR per unit of annualized standard deviation.
Sortino = CAGR per unit of annualized downside deviation.
Calmar = CAGR relative to maximum drawdown.
Max DD = Largest peak-to-trough decline in value.
Beta (β) = Sensitivity of returns relative to benchmark returns.
Alpha (α) = Excess annualized risk-adjusted returns relative to benchmark.
Upside = Ratio of average return to benchmark return on up days.
Downside = Ratio of average return to benchmark return on down days.
Tracking = Annualized standard deviation of returns versus benchmark.
Turnover = Average sum of absolute changes in weights per year.
Cumulative returns are displayed on each label as the total percentage gain from the selected start date, with green indicating positive returns and red indicating negative returns. In the table, baseline metrics serve as the benchmark reference and are always gray. For portfolio metrics, green indicates outperformance relative to the baseline, while red indicates underperformance relative to the baseline. For strategy metrics, green indicates outperformance relative to both the baseline and the portfolio, red indicates underperformance relative to both, and gray indicates underperformance relative to either the baseline or portfolio. Metrics such as Volatility, Tracking Error, and Turnover ratio are always displayed in gray as they serve as descriptive measures.
In summary, the Portfolio Strategy Tester is a comprehensive backtesting tool designed to help investors evaluate different trend-following strategies on custom portfolios. It enables real-world simulation of both active and passive investment approaches and provides a full set of standard institutional-grade performance metrics to support data-driven comparisons. While results are based on historical performance, the model serves as a powerful portfolio management and research framework for developing, validating, and refining systematic investment strategies.

MA Oscillator Map [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The MA Oscillator Map transforms moving average deviations into an oscillator framework that highlights overextended price conditions. By normalizing the difference between price and a chosen moving average, the tool maps oscillations between -100 and +100 , with gradient coloring to emphasize bullish and bearish momentum. When the oscillator cools from extreme levels (-100/100), the indicator marks potential reversal points and extends short-term levels from those extremes. A compact side table and dynamic bar coloring make momentum context visible at a glance.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Oscillator Mapping (±100 Scale):
Price deviation from the selected MA is normalized into a percentage scale, allowing consistent overbought/oversold readings across assets and timeframes.
// MA
MA = ma(close, maLengthInput, maTypeInput)
diff = src - MA
maxVal = ta.highest(math.abs(diff), 50)
osc = diff / maxVal * 100
Customizable MA Types:
Choose SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, or VWMA to fine-tune the smoothing method that powers the oscillator.
Extreme Signal Diamonds:
When the oscillator retreats from +100 or -100, the script plots diamonds to flag potential exhaustion and reversal zones.
Dynamic Levels from Extremes:
Upper and lower dotted lines extend from recent overextension points, projecting temporary barriers until broken by price.
Gradient Bar Coloring:
Candles and oscillator values adopt a bullish-to-bearish gradient, making shifts in momentum instantly visible on the chart.
Compact Momentum Map:
A table at the chart’s edge plots the oscillator position with a gradient scale and live percentage label for precise momentum tracking.
⯁ USAGE
Watch for diamonds after the oscillator exits ±100 — these mark potential exhaustion zones.
Use extended dotted levels as short-term reference lines; if broken, trend continuation is favored.
Combine gradient bar coloring with oscillator shifts for confirmation of momentum reversals.
Experiment with different MA types to adapt sensitivity for trending vs. ranging markets.
Use the side momentum table as a quick-read gauge of trend strength in percent terms.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The MA Oscillator Map reframes moving average deviations into a visual momentum tracker with extremes, reversal signals, and dynamic levels. By blending oscillator math with intuitive visuals like gradient candles, diamonds, and a live gauge, it helps traders spot overextension, exhaustion, and momentum shifts across any market.
SuperTrend MAAfter building SuperBands, I kept thinking about what happens at the midpoint between those two volatility-adaptive envelopes. The upper and lower bands are both trailing price based on ATR and EMA smoothing, but they're operating independently in opposite directions. Taking their average seemed like it might produce an interesting centerline that adapts to volatility in a way that regular moving averages don't. Turns out it does, and that's what this indicator is.
The core concept is straightforward. Instead of plotting the upper and lower SuperBands separately, this calculates both of them internally, averages their values, and then applies an additional smoothing pass with EMA to create a single centerline. That centerline sits roughly in the middle of where the bands would be, but because it's derived from ATR-offset trailing stops rather than direct price smoothing, it behaves differently than a standard moving average of the same length. During trending periods, the centerline tracks closer to price because one of the underlying bands is actively trailing while the other is dormant. During consolidation, both bands compress toward price and the centerline tends to oscillate more with shorter-term movements.
What's interesting is that this acts like a supertrend all by itself with directional behavior baked in. When one of the underlying supertrend waves dominates, meaning price is strongly trending in one direction and only one band is active, you get what feels like a "true" supertrend, whatever that means exactly. The centerline locks into trend-following mode and the color gradient reflects that commitment. You get bright bullish colors during sustained uptrends when the upper band is doing all the work, and strong bearish colors during downtrends when the lower band dominates. But when both bands are active and fighting for control, which happens during consolidation or choppy conditions, the centerline settles into more neutral tones that clearly signal you're in a ranging environment. The colors really do emphasize this behavior and make it visually obvious which regime you're in.
The smoothing parameter controls how aggressively the underlying SuperBand trails adapt to price, which indirectly affects how responsive the centerline is. Lower values make the bands tighter and more reactive, so the centerline follows price action more closely. Higher values create wider bands that only respond to sustained moves, which produces a smoother centerline that filters out more noise. The center smoothing parameter applies a second EMA pass specifically to the averaged midpoint, giving you independent control over how much additional lag you want on the final output versus the raw band average.
What makes this different from just slapping an EMA on price is that the underlying bands are already volatility-aware through their ATR calculations. When volatility spikes, the bands widen and the centerline adjusts its position relative to price based on where those bands settle. A traditional moving average would just smooth over the volatility spike without adjusting its distance from price. This approach incorporates volatility information into the centerline's positioning, which can help it stay relevant during regime changes where fixed-period moving averages tend to lag badly or whipsaw.
The color gradient adds a momentum overlay using the same angle-based calculation from SuperBands. The centerline's rate of change gets normalized by an RMS estimate of its historical movement range, converted to an angle through arctangent scaling, and then mapped to a color gradient. When the centerline is rising, it gradients from neutral toward your chosen bullish color, with brightness increasing as the rate of ascent steepens. When falling, it shifts toward the bearish color with intensity tied to the descent rate. This gives you an immediate visual sense of whether the centerline is accelerating, decelerating, or moving at a stable pace.
Configuration is simpler than SuperBands since you're only dealing with a single output line instead of separate bull and bear envelopes. The length parameter controls the underlying band behavior. ATR period and multiplier determine how much space the bands allocate around price before they trail. Center smoothing adds the extra EMA pass on the averaged midpoint. You can tune these independently to get different characteristics. A tight ATR multiplier with heavy center smoothing creates a smooth line that stays close to price. A wide multiplier with light center smoothing produces a line that swings more freely and adapts faster to directional changes.
From a practical standpoint, this works well as a trend filter or dynamic support and resistance reference. Price above the centerline with bullish coloring suggests a favorable environment for long positions. Price below with bearish coloring indicates the opposite. Crossovers can signal trend changes, though like any moving average system, you'll get whipsaws in choppy conditions. The advantage over traditional MAs is that the volatility adaptation tends to reduce false signals during transitional periods where volatility is expanding but direction hasn't fully committed.
The implementation reuses the entire SuperBands logic, which means all the smoothing and state management for the trailing stops is identical. The only addition is averaging the two band outputs and applying the final EMA pass. The color calculation follows the same RMS-normalized angle approach but applies it to the centerline's delta rather than the individual band deltas. This keeps the coloring consistent with how SuperBands handles momentum visualization while adapting it to a single line instead of dual envelopes.
What this really highlights is that you can derive moving averages from mechanisms other than direct price smoothing. By building the centerline from volatility-adjusted trailing stops, you get adaptive behavior that responds to both price movement and volatility regime without needing separate inputs or complex multi-stage calculations. Whether that adaptation provides a meaningful edge depends on your strategy and market, but it's a fundamentally different approach than the typical fixed-period or adaptive MAs that adjust length based on volatility or momentum indicators.
