1. Core Concept: Why Does This Indicator Exist?
Traditional momentum oscillators like RSI or Stochastic use a fixed "lookback period" (e.g., 14). This creates a fundamental problem: a 14-period setting that works well in a fast, trending market will generate constant false signals in a slow, choppy market, and vice-versa. The market's character is dynamic, but most tools are static.
The Apex Engine was built to solve this problem. Its primary innovation is a self-optimizing core that continuously adapts to changing market conditions. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, it actively tests three different momentum profiles (Fast, Mid, and Slow) in real-time and selects the one that is most synchronized with the current price action.
This is not just a random combination of indicators; it's a deliberate synthesis designed to create a more robust momentum tool. It combines:
Volatility analysis (ATR) to generate adaptive lookback periods.
Momentum measurement (ROC) to gauge the speed of price changes.
Statistical analysis (Correlation) to validate which momentum measurement is most effective right now.
Classic trend filters (Moving Average, ADX) to ensure signals are only taken in favorable market conditions.
The result is an oscillator that aims to be more responsive in volatile trends and more stable in quiet periods, providing a more intelligent and adaptive signal.
2. How It Works: The Engine's Three-Stage Process
To be transparent, it's important to understand the step-by-step logic the indicator follows on every bar. It's a process of Adapt -> Validate -> Signal.
Stage 1: Adapt (Dynamic Length Calculation)
The engine first measures market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) relative to its own long-term average. This creates a volatility_factor. In high-volatility environments, this factor causes the base calculation lengths to shorten. In low-volatility, they lengthen. This produces three potential Rate of Change (ROC) lengths: dynamic_fast_len, dynamic_mid_len, and dynamic_slow_len.
Stage 2: Validate (Self-Optimizing Mode Selection)
This is the core of the engine. It calculates the ROC for all three dynamic lengths. To determine which is best, it uses the ta.correlation() function to measure how well each ROC's movement has correlated with the actual bar-to-bar price changes over the "Optimization Lookback" period. The ROC length with the highest correlation score is chosen as the most effective profile for the current moment. This "active" mode is reflected in the oscillator's color and the dashboard.
Stage 3: Signal (Normalized Velocity Oscillator)
The winning ROC series is then normalized into a consistent oscillator (the Velocity line) that ranges from -100 (extreme oversold) to +100 (extreme overbought). This ensures signals are comparable across any asset or timeframe. Signals are only generated when this Velocity line crosses its signal line and the trend filters (explained below) give a green light.
3. How to Use the Indicator: A Practical Guide
Reading the Visuals:
Velocity Line (Blue/Yellow/Pink): The main oscillator line. Its color indicates which mode is active (Fast, Mid, or Slow).
Signal Line (White): A moving average of the Velocity line. Crossovers generate potential signals.
Buy/Sell Triangles (▲ / ▼): These are your primary entry signals. They are intentionally strict and only appear when momentum, trend, and price action align.
Background Color (Green/Red/Gray): This is your trend context.
Green: Bullish trend confirmed (e.g., price above a rising 200 EMA and ADX > 20). Only Buy signals (▲) can appear.
Red: Bearish trend confirmed. Only Sell signals (▼) can appear.
Gray: No clear trend. The market is likely choppy or consolidating. No signals will appear; it is best to stay out.
Trading Strategy Example:
Wait for a colored background. A green or red background indicates the market is in a tradable trend.
Look for a signal. For a green background, wait for a lime Buy triangle (▲) to appear.
Confirm the trade. Before entering, confirm the signal aligns with your own analysis (e.g., support/resistance levels, chart patterns).
Manage the trade. Set a stop-loss according to your risk management rules. An exit can be considered on a fixed target, a trailing stop, or when an opposing signal appears.
4. Settings and Customization
This script is open-source, and its settings are transparent. You are encouraged to understand them.
Synaptic Engine Group:
Volatility Period: The master control for the adaptive engine. Higher values are slower and more stable.
Optimization Lookback: How many bars to use for the correlation check.
Switch Sensitivity: A buffer to prevent frantic switching between modes.
Advanced Configuration & Filters Group:
Price Source: The data source for momentum calculation (default close).
Trend Filter MA Type & Length: Define your long-term trend.
Filter by MA Slope: A key feature. If ON, allows for "buy the dip" entries below a rising MA. If OFF, it's stricter, requiring price to be above the MA.
ADX Length & Threshold: Filters out non-trending, choppy markets. Signals will not fire if the ADX is below this threshold.
5. Important Disclaimer
This indicator is a decision-support tool for discretionary traders, not an automated trading system or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All trading involves substantial risk. You should always use proper risk management, including setting stop-losses, and never risk more than you are prepared to lose. The signals generated by this script should be used as one component of a broader trading plan.

HSI1! First 30m Candle Strategy (15m Chart)## HSI1! First 30-Minute Candle Breakout Strategy (15m Chart) — Description
### Overview
This strategy is designed for trading **Hang Seng Index (HSI) Futures** on a 15-minute chart. It uses the price range established during the first 30 minutes of the Hong Kong main session (09:15–09:44:59) to define key breakout levels for a systematic trade entry each day.
### How the Strategy Works
#### 1. Reference Candle Period
- **Aggregation Window:** The strategy monitors the first two 15-minute bars of the session (09:15:00–09:44:59 HKT).
- **Range Capture:** It records the highest and lowest prices (the "reference high/low") during this window.
#### 2. Trade Setup
- After the 09:45 bar completes, the reference range is locked in.
- Throughout the rest of the trading day (within session hours), the strategy looks for breakouts beyond the reference range.
#### 3. Entry Rules
- **Long Entry (Buy):**
- Triggered if price rises to or above the reference high.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Buy Only" or "Both".
- **Short Entry (Sell):**
- Triggered if price falls to or below the reference low.
- Only entered if the user's settings permit "Sell Only" or "Both".
- **Single trade per day:**
- Once any trade executes, no additional trades are opened until the next session.
#### 4. Exit Rules
- **Take Profit (TP):**
- Target profit is set to a distance equal to the initial range added above the long entry (or subtracted below the short entry).
- Example: For a 100-point range, a long trade targets entry + 100 points.
- **Stop Loss (SL):**
- Longs are stopped out if price falls back to the session's reference low; shorts are stopped out if price rallies to the reference high.
#### 5. Session Control
- Active only within the regular day session (09:15–12:00 and 13:00–16:00 HKT).
- Trade tracking resets each new trading day.
#### 6. Trade Direction Manual Setting
- A user input allows restriction to "Buy Only", "Sell Only" or "Both" directions, providing discretion over daily bias.
### Example Workflow
| Step | Action |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 09:15–09:44 | Aggregate first two 15m candles; record daily high/low |
| After 09:45 | Wait for a breakout (price crossing either the high or the low) |
| Long trade triggered | Enter at the reference high, target is "high + range", SL is at the low |
| Short trade triggered | Enter at the reference low, target is "low - range", SL at the high |
| Trade management | No more trades for the day, regardless of further breakouts |
| End of session (if open) | Trades may be closed per further logic or left to strategy to handle |
### Key Features and Benefits
- **Discipline:** Only one trade per day, minimizing overtrading.
- **Clarity:** Transparent entry/exit rules; no discretionary execution.
- **Flexibility:** User can bias system to buy-only, sell-only, or allow both, depending on trend or personal view.
- **Simple Risk Control:** Pre-defined stop loss and profit target for every trade.
- **Works best in:** Trending, breakout-prone markets with a history of impulsive moves early in the session.
This strategy is ideal for systematic traders looking to capture the Hang Seng's early session momentum, with robust rule-based management and minimal intervention.

Overview
This indicator dynamically marks highs and lows of the premarket (4:00am-9:30amEST) and opening range. It displays Fair Value Gaps, 9 and 21 period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). To really help beginners, it marks suggested entry points on the chart with green or red triangles, when a reasonable trend appears.
Features
Automatically draws blue lines for Premarket High and Low values
Dynamically marks the opening Range region
Visual entry signals for long and short opportunities
Primarily used for stocks/funds , but works with forex and crypto
Quick configuration settings to tailor details for your experience level
Mobile friendly mode
Supports alerts
How To Use
Open your chart, and select a 1 or 2 minute timeframe.
Watch for green triangles and red triangles, hinting at entries for long or short positions. Pay particular attention to the price action as it approaches the bounds of the opening range and the premarket levels. I suggest also using a MACD indicator for confirmation of the trend.
For scalping 0dte Options, switch frequently between the 1 ,2 and 5 minute or higher timeframes. Do this so you will not miss an entry opportunity or be unaware of the overall trend.
As a beginner, until you have refined your strategy and develop risk management, take profits as low as 10%. A small profit can quickly become a much larger loss. With 0dte options, time will devour your profits even when the price doesn’t budge.
What makes this indicator so beginner friendly?
Charts with too many lines and colors are are a nightmare for beginners! And empty charts do not tell the whole story. Simple checkboxes in the configuration settings let you turn on and off features to match your comfort level. As you become more familiar you might try turning off the suggested entries to see if you would have selected the same or better ones yourself. Just one example of how you will learn and verify your knowledge. You will quickly spot Opening Range Breakouts and more.
Why are the triangle pointers not simply above or below the bars?
As a beginner, I like to review charts to see how much the price changed, then estimate how much a contract would move based on its delta. A mouthful, I know. But what price does an arrow pointing up below a bar reflect? Would I have entered at the open or close, low or high? This indicator helps by putting the marker close to the price when indicated. It can even display the actual price on the bar. This is helpful for you to make fast calculations without a measuring tool.
I am an experienced trader. Can this help me make winning trades?
Sure. It can also help you make losing ones! Profit is not guaranteed with any indicator or strategy. This indicator is designed to assist you as you learn and while you trade. You won't see the words BUY or SELL. This is not a signal bot! It is merely a tool to assist you. You can learn a lot by spending time observing price movement using this indicator without ever making a single trade.

Adaptive Trend Cloud + Smart Reversal Zones [@darshakssc]This indicator combines a volatility-adjusted trend cloud with RSI- and volume-based reversal signals to help traders visually spot potential trend continuation or reversal zones.
It’s designed to look clean, colorful, and informative — great for both beginners and experienced traders looking for chart clarity and actionable insights.
🔍 How It Works
🔵 1. Trend Cloud
1. The cloud is created using a 34-period EMA as the base and adjusted with a 14-period ATR multiplier.
2. When price is above the EMA, the cloud turns green (bullish).
3. When price is below the EMA, it turns red (bearish).
4. A neutral gray tone shows when price is inside the cloud, signaling potential indecision.
🔁 2. Smart Reversal Signal Logic
1. Signals appear only when price enters the cloud zone, indicating a potential change in direction.
2. To confirm the reversal, the following conditions must also be met:
3. RSI is below 40 (for bullish reversals) or above 60 (for bearish reversals)
4. A volume spike occurs (1.8× the 20-bar volume average)
5. A cooldown of 10 bars between signals prevents overplotting
🎯 3. TP & SL Labels
1. When a valid buy or sell signal appears:
🎯 TP (Take Profit) is placed at 2× ATR distance
🛑 SL (Stop Loss) is placed at 1× ATR distance
These levels are shown via chart labels for visual reference
🛎️ 4. Alerts
1. Built-in alerts trigger on:
🟢 Buy reversal signals
🔴 Sell reversal signals
✅ How to Use
1. Apply the indicator to any chart (works best on 5min–4h timeframes)
2. Look for the 🟢 Buy / 🔴 Sell labels when price touches the cloud
3. Use the visual TP/SL markers as reference zones — not financial advice
4. Combine with your own risk management, price action or confluence tools
⚙️ Customization Options
1. EMA & ATR lengths and multipliers
2. RSI and volume thresholds
3. Signal cooldown to reduce noise
4. Toggle TP/SL zones on or off

Daily EMAs (8, 21 & 50) with BandDescription:
This script plots the Daily EMAs (8, 21, and 50) on any intraday or higher timeframe chart. It provides a clear, multi-timeframe view of market trends by using daily exponential moving averages (EMAs) and a dynamic visual band. I use this on the major indexes to decide if I should be mostly longing or shorting assets.
-In addition to identifying the trend structure, the 8-Day EMA often serves as a key area where buyers or sellers may become active, depending on the market direction:
-In an uptrend, the 8 EMA can act as a dynamic support zone, where buyers tend to re-enter on pullbacks.
-In a downtrend, the same EMA may act as resistance, where sellers become more aggressive.
-The script also includes a colored band between the 8 and 21 EMAs to highlight the short-term trend bias:
-Green fill = 8 EMA is above the 21 EMA (bullish structure).
Blue fill = 8 EMA is below the 21 EMA (bearish structure).
The 50-Day EMA is included to give additional context for intermediate-term trend direction.
Features:
- Daily EMA levels (8, 21, and 50) calculated regardless of current chart timeframe.
- 8 EMA acts as a potential buyer/seller zone based on trend direction.
- Color-coded band between 8 and 21 EMAs:
- Green = Bullish short-term bias
- Blue = Bearish short-term bias
- Customizable price source and EMA offset.
- Suitable for trend trading, pullback entries, and higher-timeframe confirmation.
Use Cases:
Identify key dynamic support/resistance areas using the 8 EMA.
Assess short-, medium-, and intermediate-term trend structure at a glance.
Enhance confluence for entry/exit signals on lower timeframes.
HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) — The Ultimate Hull Moving Average Trend Indicator
Full English description here:
What is the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line)?
The HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) is a powerful, adaptive trend indicator for TradingView, based on the Hull Moving Average (HMA). This indicator is designed to help traders identify real market trends with less lag and reduced noise compared to traditional moving averages like SMA (Simple Moving Average) and EMA (Exponential Moving Average).
Why use the HMA Trend Line?
+ Faster Trend Detection: The Hull Moving Average (HMA) responds more quickly to price action, giving you earlier buy and sell signals.
+ Smoother and Cleaner: It provides a visually clean trend line that avoids the choppiness of classic EMAs and SMAs.
+ Reduced Lag: The HMA Trend Line follows the market closer, helping you avoid late entries or exits and spot trend reversals sooner.
+ Dynamic Support and Resistance: Use the line as a dynamic support or resistance to manage trades and identify pullbacks or breakouts.
What does “Croc Signal Line” mean?
The “Croc” in Croc Signal Line stands for:
+ Clean
+ Responsive
+ Optimized
+ Curve
This highlights the unique advantage of this indicator: a curve that is both fast-reacting and smooth, helping traders focus on real trends and filter out market noise.
How does the Hull Moving Average (HMA) work?
The HMA was developed by Alan Hull and uses weighted moving averages and a unique calculation to deliver both responsiveness and smoothness. Unlike standard moving averages, the HMA reacts faster to new price moves and avoids false signals in ranging or volatile markets.
How to use the HMA Trend Line (Croc Signal Line) on TradingView?
+ Watch for price crossing above the trend line for potential bullish signals, and below for bearish signals.
+ Use on any timeframe: from 1-minute scalping to daily, weekly, or even monthly charts.
+ Works with all asset classes: Forex, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and futures.
+ Combine with other indicators (like Stochastics, RSI, or volume) for confirmation and to build your unique trading strategy.
+ Adjust the Signal Line Period for your market and style: shorter periods for faster markets, longer for smoother trends.
Who should use this indicator?
+ Day traders, swing traders, and long-term investors looking for reliable, actionable trend signals.
+ Anyone seeking a cleaner, more responsive alternative to the classic moving averages.
+ Traders who want a simple, visually clear way to filter out market noise and see real price direction.

[Top] LHAMA Consolidation DetectorIntroducing the Low-High Adaptive Moving Average (LHAMA 🦙), a powerful tool designed to help traders visually distinguish between trending and consolidating market phases. Unlike traditional moving averages that can produce false signals in choppy markets, the LHAMA is engineered to flatten out during periods of consolidation and become more responsive when a clear trend emerges.
This indicator's primary function is to act as a "Consolidation Detector." When the LHAMA line goes flat and adopts its "Flat Color," it serves as a clear visual cue that the market is range-bound. Conversely, when the line begins to slope and changes to its Bullish or Bearish color, it signals a potential breakout or the start of a new trend.
How It Works
The LHAMA is a type of adaptive moving average. Its adaptiveness is derived from a unique calculation that measures market "trendiness." It does this by tracking whether new highs or new lows are being made within a specified lookback period.
In a Trending Market: When the price consistently makes new highs or lows, the indicator's responsiveness increases, causing the LHAMA to track the price much more closely and responsively.
In a Consolidating Market: When the price is range-bound and fails to make new highs or lows, the responsiveness decreases significantly. This causes the LHAMA to flatten out and become less sensitive to minor price fluctuations, effectively filtering out market noise.
Key Features
Adaptive Calculation: The core engine of the indicator, which automatically adjusts its smoothing based on trend strength.
Slope-Based Coloring: The line's color dynamically changes based on its slope, providing an at-a-glance view of market conditions: bullish, bearish, or flat.
Multi-Line & Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can enable up to six fully customizable LHAMA lines. Each line can be configured with its own length, colors, and can even be set to a different timeframe, allowing for comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis on a single chart.
Volatility Clouds: Each LHAMA can display an optional cloud around it. The cloud's width is based on your choice of either the Average True Range (ATR) or Standard Deviation (StdDev), offering a visual representation of volatility.
Volume Weighting: An option to incorporate volume into the adaptive calculation, making the LHAMA even more responsive during high-volume price movements.
How to Use
Identify Consolidation: The primary use case. A flat and consistently colored LHAMA line is a strong indication of a sideways or consolidating market. This can help traders avoid taking trend-following trades in choppy conditions.
Confirm Trends: When the LHAMA begins to slope upwards or downwards and changes to its trend color, it can be used to confirm the direction and strength of a new trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the momentum, and more solid the directional color.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: Like other moving averages, the LHAMA can act as a dynamic level of support in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. The optional cloud can further define these zones.
Multi-MA Ribbon Strategy: By enabling multiple LHAMAs with different lengths (e.g., Fibonacci sequence like 14, 21, 34, 55), you can create a ribbon. The expansion of the ribbon indicates a strong trend, while its contraction signals a weakening trend or consolidation.
Settings Explained
Enable 🦙 Line: A simple checkbox to turn each of the six LHAMA lines on or off.
Length: The lookback period for the LHAMA calculation. Shorter lengths are more responsive, while longer lengths are smoother.
Timeframe: Set a specific timeframe for each LHAMA. Leave blank to use the chart's current timeframe.
Volume Weight: If checked, adds volume weighting to make the LHAMA more responsive to high-volume moves.
Colors (Bullish, Bearish, Flat): Customize the colors for each market state. To only see the line during consolidation, set the Bullish and Bearish colors to 100% transparency. To hide the line during consolidation, set the Flat color to 100% transparency.
Color Sensitivity: This is a crucial setting. Because price scales (tick sizes) vary widely between symbols, this setting allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the slope detection. A lower value requires a steeper slope to trigger a trend color, while a higher value is more sensitive.
Recommended settings are provided in the input tooltip as a starting point:
$5 Tick: 0.25 Sensitivity
$1 Tick: 0.75 Sensitivity
$0.25 Tick: 3 Sensitivity
$0.01 Tick: 50 Sensitivity
$0.005 Tick: 100 Sensitivity
Cloud Settings:
Show Cloud: Toggles the visibility of the volatility cloud around the LHAMA.
Width Based On: Choose between "ATR" or "StdDev" to calculate the cloud's width.
Cloud Length & Width: Set the lookback period and multiplier for the ATR/StdDev calculation to control the size of the cloud.
