Day Open vs Previous Day CloseThe concept of comparing the **Day Open** to the **Previous Day Close** is used frequently in technical analysis to gauge the sentiment or momentum at the start of a new trading day.
### Key Terms:
- **Day Open**: The first traded price of an asset when the market opens for the day.
- **Previous Day Close**: The last traded price of an asset when the market closed on the previous day.
### Importance of Day Open vs. Previous Day Close
1. **Market Sentiment Indicator**:
- If the **Day Open** is **higher** than the **Previous Day Close**, it suggests **bullish** sentiment (buyers are willing to pay more than yesterday's closing price).
- If the **Day Open** is **lower** than the **Previous Day Close**, it suggests **bearish** sentiment (sellers are driving prices down compared to the last price from the previous day).
2. **Potential Gaps**:
- A **gap** occurs when there is a significant difference between the Day Open and Previous Day Close, often due to events or news released after the market closed. This gap can indicate strong momentum in either direction.
- **Gap Up**: Open > Close (bullish).
- **Gap Down**: Open < Close (bearish).
3. **Trend Continuation or Reversal**:
- If the market opens above the previous day’s close and continues to rise, it often signals a **continuation of an upward trend**.
- Conversely, if the market opens below and keeps falling, it suggests **downward momentum** is still strong.
4. **Trading Strategies**:
- **Opening Range Breakout**: Traders may look for the price to break above or below the opening range (the price range between the Day Open and the first few candles) to confirm a strong bullish or bearish move.
- **Reversals**: Some traders look for price reversals if the price spikes far above or below the previous day's close, expecting that the market might correct itself and return towards the previous day’s closing levels.
In the context of your **Opening Range Indicator**, the concept of the Day Open sweeping and closing above or below the Previous Day Close is used to identify whether the new day is setting up for a **buy (bullish)** or **sell (bearish)** opportunity.

Blue Bars: Indicate the lowest and highest volume density within a specified range, highlighting significant volume extremes.
Gray Bars: Represent lower or higher volume density that meets reversal criteria.
Green and Red Bars: Indicate bullish or bearish reversal signals based on historical density patterns.
User Inputs
nl: Number of previous lower bars to consider for comparison (default is 8).
nh: Number of previous higher bars to consider for comparison (default is 8).
ext: Number of bars for detecting extremum volume (default is 30).
LReversalBar: Boolean option to determine if low volume bar spread must indicate a reversal.
HReversalBar: Boolean option to determine if high volume bar spread must indicate a reversal.
Suggested Timeframes
M15: Without reversal considerations, use `nl=3`, `nh=3`, and `ext=20`.
M5: Without reversal considerations, use `nl=4`, `nh=4`, and `ext=35`.
M1: Use `nl=8`, `nh=8`, and `ext=58` for more detailed analysis.
Futures Daily Settlement PricesDaily settlement prices reflect the fair market value of the underlying commodity or financial instrument, as determined by buyers and sellers during the settlement period or “close”. The price quoted in the evening news for items like a bush of corn, a barrel of crude oil, or a 10-year U.S. Treasury note frequently use the settlement price for the corresponding futures product that day.
Settlement prices are used to mark traders’ positions to market daily, determining profits or losses. Daily settlement prices play a key role in facilitating price discovery, risk management, and market integrity.
This indicator plots up to 30 settlement prices as well as the date of settlement on your chart, on time frames under 1 hour.

Ichimoku Wave Oscillator with Custom MAIchimoku Wave Oscillator with Custom MA - Pine Script Description
This script uses various types of moving averages (MA) to implement the concept of Ichimoku wave theory for wave analysis. The user can select from SMA, EMA, WMA, TEMA, SMMA to visualize the difference between short-term, medium-term, and long-term waves, while identifying potential buy and sell signals at crossover points.
Key Features:
MA Type Selection:
The user can select from SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average), and SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) to calculate the waves. This script is unique in that it combines TEMA and SMMA, distinguishing it from other simple moving average-based indicators.
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): Best suited for capturing short-term trends with quick responsiveness.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average): Useful for identifying long-term trends with minimal noise, providing more stable signals.
Wave Calculations:
The script calculates three waves: Wave 9-17, Wave 17-26, and Wave 9-26, each of which analyzes different time horizons.
Wave 9-17 (blue): Primarily used for analyzing short-term trends, ideal for detecting quick changes.
Wave 17-26 (red): Used to analyze medium-term trends, providing a more stable market direction.
Wave 9-26 (green): Represents long-term trends, suitable for understanding broader trend shifts.
Baseline (0 Line):
Each wave is visualized around the 0 line, where waves above the line indicate an uptrend and waves below the line indicate a downtrend. This allows for easy identification of trend reversals.
Crossover Signals:
CrossUp: When Wave 9-17 (short-term wave) crosses Wave 17-26 (medium-term wave) upward, it is considered a buy signal, indicating a potential upward trend shift.
CrossDown: When Wave 9-17 (short-term wave) crosses Wave 17-26 downward, it is considered a sell signal, indicating a potential downward trend shift.
Background Color for Signal:
The script visually highlights the signals with background colors. When a buy signal occurs, the background turns green, and when a sell signal occurs, the background turns red. This makes it easier to spot reversal points.
Calculation Method:
The script calculates the difference between moving averages to display the wave oscillation. Wave 9-17, Wave 17-26, and Wave 9-26 represent the difference between the moving averages for different time periods, allowing for analysis of short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends.
Wave 9-17 = MA(9) - MA(17): Represents the difference between the short-term moving averages.
Wave 17-26 = MA(17) - MA(26): Represents the difference between medium-term moving averages.
Wave 9-26 = MA(9) - MA(26): Provides insight into the long-term trend.
This calculation method effectively visualizes the oscillation of waves and helps identify trend reversals at crossover points.
Uniqueness of the Script:
Unlike other moving average-based indicators, this script combines TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) and SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) to capture both short-term sensitivity and long-term stability in trends. This duality makes the script more versatile for different market conditions.
TEMA is ideal for short-term traders who need quick signals, while SMMA is useful for long-term investors seeking stability and noise reduction. By combining these two, this script provides a more refined analysis of trend changes across various timeframes.
How to Use:
This script is effective for trend analysis and reversal detection. By visualizing the crossover points between the waves, users can spot potential buy and sell signals to make more informed trading decisions.
Scalping strategies can rely on Wave 9-17 to detect quick trend changes, while those looking for medium-term trends can analyze signals from Wave 17-26.
For a broader market overview, Wave 9-26 helps users understand the long-term market trend.
This script is built on the concept of wave theory to anticipate trend changes, making it suitable for various timeframes and strategies. The user can tailor the characteristics of the waves by selecting different MA types, allowing for flexible application across different trading strategies.

RoC Momentum CycleRoC Momentum Cycles (RMC) is derived from RoC (Rate of Change) indicator.
Motivation behind RMC: Addressing RoC’s Shortcomings
While the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator is a valuable tool for assessing momentum, it has notable limitations that traders must be aware of. One of the primary challenges with the traditional RoC is its sensitivity to price fluctuations, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets. This often results in premature entries or exits, impacting trading performance.
By smoothing out the RoC calculations and focusing on more consistent signal generation (using SMA on smoothed RoC), RMC offers a more consistent representation of price trends.
Momentum Cycles
RMC helps visualize momentum cycles in a much better way compared to RoC.
Long Momentum Cycle : A cross-over of smoothed RoC (blue line) above averaged signal (orange line) below zero marks start of a new potential upside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero line from above.
Short Momentum Cycle : A cross-under of blue line below orange line above zero marks beginning of a potential downside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero from below.
Third-order moment by TonymontanovThe "Third-order moment" indicator is designed to help traders identify asymmetries and potential turning points in a financial instrument's price distribution over a specified period. By calculating the skewness of the price distribution, this indicator provides insights into the potential future movement direction of the market.
User Parameters:
- Length: This parameter defines the number of bars (or periods) used to compute the mean and third-order moment. A longer length provides a broader historical context, which may smooth out short-term volatility.
- Source: The data input for calculations, defaulting to the closing price of each bar, although users can select alternatives like open, high, low, or any custom value to suit their analysis preferences.
Operational Algorithm:
1. Mean Calculation:
- The indicator begins by calculating the arithmetic mean of the selected data source over the specified period.
2. Third-order Moment Calculation:
- A deviation from the mean is calculated for each data point. These deviations are then cubed to capture any asymmetry in the price distribution.
- The third-order moment is determined by summing these cubed deviations over the specified length and dividing by the number of periods, providing a measure of skewness.
3. Graphical Representation:
- The indicator plots the third-order moment as a column plot. The color of the columns changes based on the sign of the moment: green for positive and red for negative, suggesting bullish and bearish skewness, respectively.
- A zero line is included to help visualize transitions between positive and negative skewness clearly.
- Additionally, the background color shifts depending on whether the third-order moment is above or below zero, further highlighting the prevailing market sentiment.
The "Third-order moment" indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to gauge the market's skewness, helping identify potential trend continuations or reversals. By understanding the dominance of positive or negative skewness, traders can make more informed decisions.
Asymmetric volatilityThe "Asymmetric Volatility" indicator is designed to visualize the differences in volatility between upward and downward price movements of a selected instrument. It operates on the principle of analyzing price movements over a specified time period, with particular focus on the symmetrical evaluation of both price rises and falls.
User Parameters:
- Length: This parameter specifies the number of bars (candles) used to calculate the average volatility. The larger the value, the longer the time period, and the smoother the volatility data will be.
- Source: This represents the input data for the indicator calculations. By default, the close value of each bar is used, but the user can choose another data source (such as open, high, low, or any custom value).
Operational Algorithm:
1. Movement Calculation:
- UpMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the current bar value and the previous bar value, if it is greater than zero.
- DownMoves: Computed as the positive difference between the previous bar value and the current bar value, if it is greater than zero.
2. Volatility Calculation:
- UpVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the UpMoves values over the specified period.
- DownVolatility: This is the arithmetic mean of the DownMoves values over the specified period.
3. Graphical Representation:
- The indicator displays two plots: upward and downward volatility, represented by green and red lines, respectively.
- The background color changes based on which volatility is dominant: a green background indicates that upward volatility prevails, while a red background indicates downward volatility.
The indicator allows traders to quickly assess in which direction the market is more volatile at the moment, which can be useful for making trading decisions and evaluating the current market situation.
DWMA & Normalized DWMA St. Dev.The Distance Weighted Moving Average With Standard Deviations enhanced by Normalizing it (DWMA & NDWMA) is an advanced technical indicator designed to identify trends, potential breakouts, and reversals while accounting for market volatility. By combining a weighted approach to moving averages with dynamic standard deviations and a normalized component, this tool offers a robust framework for both short-term traders and long-term investors. It brings together several layers of trend analysis to provide clearer signals and minimize market noise.
1. DWMA (Distance Weighted Moving Average)
At its core, the DWMA assigns more weight to price points that are closer in value to the current price. Unlike traditional moving averages that focus on time-based proximity, DWMA highlights price similarity, making it more adaptive to sudden changes in the market. This helps to smooth out erratic price movements while staying responsive to meaningful shifts.
2. DWMA SD (Standard Deviation)
The DWMA SD measures how much the DWMA fluctuates from its mean over a specified period. By analyzing these fluctuations, the DWMA SD provides a volatility assessment of the DWMA itself, offering insights into the stability or turbulence of the current trend. This is a critical aspect for traders who want to gauge whether a trend is steady or losing momentum.
3. DWMA WSD (Weighted Standard Deviations)
The DWMA WSD introduces a volatility-based channel around the DWMA by multiplying the standard deviation with user-defined weights. This creates dynamic upper and lower bands, allowing traders to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. When the price crosses these bands, it signals possible trend reversals or breakout opportunities, helping traders make more informed decisions on entry and exit points.
4. NDWMA (Normalized DWMA)
The Normalized DWMA takes the DWMA one step further by adjusting it relative to the current price level. This normalization ensures that the DWMA remains comparable across different price ranges, whether the asset’s price is high or low. This component is particularly useful for analyzing assets with volatile or widely varying price levels, as it makes trends easier to spot and interpret.
5. NDWMA SD (Standard Deviation)
The NDWMA SD works similarly to the DWMA SD, but it focuses on the volatility of the normalized DWMA. It reflects how much the normalized DWMA fluctuates around its average, providing an additional perspective on market conditions. Traders can use this to detect shifts in the strength of the trend and to anticipate potential changes in direction.
6. Signals
The Signals generated by this indicator combine insights from both the DWMA and NDWMA:
Long Signals (L) occur when the price moves above the DWMA’s upper band and the NDWMA confirms a positive trend. This suggests that the market is gaining momentum, making it a potential buy signal.
Short Signals (S) are triggered when the price falls below the DWMA’s lower band, and the NDWMA shows weakness. This indicates a possible bearish trend, signaling traders to consider selling or shorting.
These signals are designed to filter out false signals and provide more reliable trend confirmations by leveraging the combined power of both moving averages and their volatility bands.
The DWMA & NDWMA indicator provides a sophisticated approach to trend analysis by merging price-weighted moving averages with volatility bands and normalization. Its multi-layered structure offers a detailed perspective on price movements and trends, helping traders identify potential opportunities with greater accuracy.
Custom 4 Moving Averages with Styles & ThresholdsThis Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a unique method of analyzing price action through four customizable moving averages, alongside buy and sell threshold detection. The script is fully original and adds value by allowing traders to configure and visualize multiple MAs with different smoothing options, and by detecting critical buy/sell moments based on the interaction between price and the moving averages.
What the Script Does:
Custom Moving Averages: The script plots four distinct moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3, and MA4) on the chart. Each MA can be configured for length, offset, and optional smoothing to match different trading strategies. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the script for various timeframes, trend detection, and market conditions.
Buy (BT) and Sell (ST) Threshold Detection: The indicator identifies critical points for buying and selling:
Buy Threshold (BT): The script identifies potential buy points when the current candle's low is above the MA2 from the previous candle, suggesting potential upward momentum.
Sell Threshold (ST): It detects potential sell points when the current MA2 falls below the previous candle’s low, indicating possible downward momentum. These thresholds are clearly marked on the chart with green arrows for BT (Buy) and red arrows for ST (Sell).
Horizontal Threshold Lines: Horizontal lines are drawn when BT or ST conditions are met. These lines help traders visualize support and resistance levels, providing clarity in decision-making. The length of these lines is customizable, allowing users to control how long they remain visible on the chart.
Dynamic Cleanup of Old Lines: To keep the chart clean and reduce clutter, the script automatically removes old BT and ST lines after a set period, ensuring that traders can focus on the most relevant data.
Underlying Concepts:
Moving Averages: Moving averages are a fundamental tool in technical analysis for identifying trends. This script uses various moving averages (calculated from high, low, close, and HL2) and allows for smoothing to adjust the sensitivity to price movements. Traders can apply this flexibility to multiple trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Threshold Conditions: The buy and sell conditions in this script are based on simple but effective price action patterns, where the interaction between price and MA2 determines entry or exit points. This approach is useful in trend-following strategies, where traders aim to capitalize on momentum shifts.
How to Use the Script:
Configure Moving Averages: Start by adjusting the lengths, offsets, and smoothing options for each moving average. For short-term trading, shorter MA lengths might be more suitable, while longer MAs can help identify broader trends.
Observe Buy and Sell Signals: Look for green arrows (BT) as potential buy signals and red arrows (ST) as potential sell signals. These signals appear when certain conditions between price and MA2 are met, giving traders clear visual cues for entries and exits.
Support/Resistance Levels: Pay attention to the horizontal lines drawn when BT or ST conditions occur. These lines can act as support or resistance levels, helping you identify potential price targets or stop-loss points.
Why This Script is Useful:
This indicator combines the power of multiple moving averages with customizable features, making it versatile for different market conditions. By adding clear buy and sell signals based on a logical threshold system, the script helps traders make informed decisions with minimal guesswork. Unlike many basic indicators, this one provides flexibility and original insight into market dynamics, making it a valuable tool for both beginner and experienced traders.

Statistics plot1. setting the price range
At the beginning of the script, set the price range (interval). Price ranges are used to divide prices into several groups (buckets) and record how many prices have been reached within each group. For example, setting the price range to “10” will divide the price into intervals 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and so on.
The price range can also be set manually by the user or automatically calculated based on the initial price. This allows for flexibility in adjusting price ranges for different assets and different time frames.
2. aggregate the number of times a price is reached
Record how many times the price reached each price range (e.g., 100-110, 110-120, etc.). This aggregate data is stored in a data structure called an array.
Each element of the array corresponds to a price range, and when a price reaches that range, the corresponding array value is incremented by one. This process is performed in real time, tracking price movements.
3. initializing and extending price ranges
The first bar of the script (when the chart is first loaded) divides the price ranges into several groups and initializes a count of 0 for each range.
When a price reaches a new range, the array is expanded as needed to add the new price range. This allows the script to work with any price movement, even if the price range continues to grow.
4. visualize the number of price arrivals with a histogram
The aggregated number of arrivals per price range is visually displayed in the form of a histogram. This histogram is designed to allow the user to see at a glance which price range is being reached most frequently.
For example, if prices frequently reach the 100-110 range, the histogram bar corresponding to that range will appear higher than the other ranges. This allows you to visually identify price “dwell points” or support and resistance levels.
5. display of moving averages
A moving average (MA) of the number of times a price has been reached is drawn above the histogram. Moving averages are indicators that show a smooth trend for the number of price arrivals and are useful for understanding the overall direction of price movements.
The duration of the moving average (how many data points it is calculated based on) can be set by the user. This allows for flexible analysis of short or long term price trends. 6.
6. price range tracking and labeling
The script keeps track of which price range the current price is located in. Based on this, information related to the current price range is displayed on the chart as labels.
In particular, labels indicate the beginning and end points of the price range, including which range the price was in at the beginning and which range the price reached at the end. These labels are a useful feature to visually identify price ranges on the chart.
7. labeling of current price range
To confirm which price range the current price is in, when a price reaches a specific price range, a label corresponding to that price range is displayed. This label indicates the position of the price in real-time, allowing traders to visually track where the current price is in the area.
8. calculating the start and end points of the range
The script calculates the start and end points of a range with a non-zero number of price arrivals to find the minimum and maximum of the range. This calculation allows you to see where prices are concentrated within a range.
9. out-of-range price processing
When a price reaches outside the range, the script automatically adds the array element corresponding to that price range and inserts the data in the appropriate location for the count. This allows the script to follow the price as it moves unexpectedly.
Elliott Wave Oscillator with Peak DetectionThe Elliott Wave Oscillator with Derivative Peak Detection and Breakout Bands is a technical indicator that blends traditional Elliott Wave theory with modern derivative-based peak detection and breakout bands for a clearer view of market trends.
Key Components:
Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO):
The core of the indicator is based on the difference between two simple moving averages (SMA): a short-term SMA (default length: 5) and a long-term SMA (default length: 35).
This difference is expressed either as an absolute value or a percentage of the current price, depending on the user’s input.
Smoothing:
The EWO is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out noise and provide a clearer trend direction.
The smoothing length is adaptive based on the current chart's timeframe (e.g., longer smoothing for daily charts).
Derivative Peak Detection:
The smoothed EWO is analyzed for peaks (positive) and troughs (negative) by calculating the derivative (rate of change) between consecutive values.
Peaks are detected when the derivative transitions from positive to negative, while troughs are identified when the derivative switches from negative to positive.
Tolerance levels are adjustable and vary by timeframe to avoid false signals.
Breakout Bands:
Upper and lower breakout bands are dynamically generated based on the smoothed EWO.
The bands help to filter significant peaks and troughs, only highlighting those that occur beyond the breakout levels.
Users can choose to display these bands and use them to filter out less significant peaks and troughs.
Visualization:
The original, unsmoothed EWO is plotted as a histogram, with positive values in green and negative values in red.
The smoothed EWO is plotted as a blue line, providing a clearer view of the underlying trend.
The breakout bands, if enabled, are plotted as white lines to visualize the upper and lower bounds of the oscillator's movement.
Positive peaks and negative troughs that meet the filtering criteria are marked with purple triangles (for peaks) and red triangles (for troughs) on the chart.
Customization Options:
Timeframe-based Smoothing and Tolerance: Different smoothing lengths and tolerance levels can be set for daily, hourly, and 5-minute charts.
Breakout Bands: Users can toggle the display of breakout bands and adjust their visual properties.
Peak Filtering: Peaks and troughs can be filtered based on whether they break out beyond the bands, or all peaks can be shown.
This indicator provides a unique blend of trend detection through the Elliott Wave Oscillator and derivative analysis to highlight significant market reversals while offering breakout bands as a filtering mechanism for false signals.
SMA Angle AlertsSMA Angle Alerts
Overview:
The "SMA Angle Alerts" indicator measures the angle of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a specified number of bars, helping traders identify when the market is gaining or losing momentum. The indicator provides real-time alerts when the angle of the SMA crosses user-defined thresholds, indicating strong upward or downward movements in the trend.
How it works:
SMA Calculation: The indicator calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price over a customizable length.
Angle Calculation: It determines the slope of the SMA by measuring the price change over a set number of bars and converts that slope into an angle (in degrees).
Alerts: Alerts are triggered when the SMA angle crosses above or below specified thresholds, allowing traders to react to significant trend changes in real time.
Key Features:
Customizable SMA and Angle Threshold:
The length of the SMA and the threshold for the angle can be customized to fit your trading strategy.
Real-Time Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when the angle of the SMA crosses upward or downward by more than the defined threshold, providing actionable insights into trend strength and direction.
Visual Markers:
The chart visually highlights points where the angle of the SMA exceeds the threshold, with "UP" and "DOWN" labels to mark when the angle is steep enough to signal significant trend changes.
Background Color Alerts:
The chart’s background color changes when the angle exceeds the thresholds—green for upward crosses and red for downward crosses—allowing traders to quickly spot moments of interest.
Plotting the Angle:
The slope of the SMA is plotted in degrees, giving traders a visual representation of the market's momentum. Horizontal lines mark the upper and lower angle thresholds, offering a clear view of when price momentum is accelerating or decelerating.
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to catch strong trend reversals, breakouts, or momentum shifts. It can be used across multiple timeframes to monitor market momentum and identify key moments when the trend is gaining strength in either direction.
Customization:
SMA Length: Adjust the length of the SMA to suit different timeframes or asset classes.
Angle Threshold: Define the angle at which alerts are triggered, allowing you to focus on strong upward or downward movements.
Bars to Check: Customize how many bars are used to calculate the slope and angle of the SMA.
Alerts:
Set alerts to notify you when the SMA is angling up or down by more than your specified threshold, ensuring that you never miss a significant trend shift.
Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy Description:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is designed to leverage market volatility specifically in Bitcoin (BTC) using a combination of volatility indicators and trend-following techniques. This strategy utilizes the VIXFix (a volatility indicator adapted for crypto markets) and the BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index from BitMEX) to identify periods of high volatility, while confirming trends with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). These components work together to offer a comprehensive system that traders can use to enter positions when volatility and trends are aligned in their favor.
Key Features:
VIXFix (Volatility Index for Crypto Markets): This indicator measures the highest price of Bitcoin over a set period and compares it with the current low price to gauge market volatility. A rise in VIXFix indicates increasing market volatility, signaling that large price movements could occur.
BVOL7D (Bitcoin 7-Day Volatility Index): This volatility index, provided by BitMEX, measures the volatility of Bitcoin over the past 7 days. It helps traders monitor the recent volatility trend in the market, particularly useful when making short-term trading decisions.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The 50-period EMA acts as a trend indicator. When the price is above the EMA, it suggests the market is in an uptrend, and when the price is below the EMA, it suggests a downtrend.
How It Works:
Long Entry: A long position is triggered when both the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators are rising, signaling increased volatility, and the price is above the 50-period EMA, confirming that the market is trending upward.
Exit: The strategy exits the position when the price crosses below the 50-period EMA, which signals a potential weakening of the uptrend and a decrease in volatility.
This strategy ensures that traders only enter positions when the volatility aligns with a clear trend, minimizing the risk of entering trades during periods of market uncertainty.
Testing and Timeframe:
This strategy has been tested on Bitcoin using the daily timeframe, which provides a longer-term perspective on market trends and volatility. However, users can adjust the timeframe according to their trading preferences. It is crucial to note that this strategy does not include comprehensive risk management, aside from the exit condition when the price crosses below the EMA. Users are strongly advised to implement their own risk management techniques, such as setting appropriate stop-loss levels, to safeguard their positions during high volatility periods.
Utility:
The Crypto Volatility Bitcoin Correlation Strategy is particularly well-suited for traders who aim to capitalize on the high volatility often seen in the Bitcoin market. By combining volatility measurements (VIXFix and BVOL7D) with a trend-following mechanism (EMA), this strategy helps identify optimal moments for entering and exiting trades. This approach ensures that traders participate in potentially profitable market moves while minimizing exposure during times of uncertainty.
Use Cases:
Volatility-Based Entries: Traders looking to take advantage of market volatility spikes will find this strategy useful for timing entry points during market swings.
Trend Confirmation: By using the EMA as a confirmation tool, traders can avoid entering trades that go against the trend, which can result in significant losses during volatile market conditions.
Risk Management: While the strategy exits when price falls below the EMA, it is important to recognize that this is not a full risk management system. Traders should use caution and integrate additional risk measures, such as stop-losses and position sizing, to better manage potential losses.
How to Use:
Step 1: Monitor the VIXFix and BVOL7D indicators. When both are rising and the Bitcoin price is above the EMA, the strategy will trigger a long entry, indicating that the market is experiencing increased volatility with a confirmed uptrend.
Step 2: Exit the position when the price drops below the 50-period EMA, signaling that the trend may be reversing or weakening, reducing the likelihood of continued upward price movement.
This strategy is open-source and is intended to help traders navigate volatile market conditions, particularly in Bitcoin, using proven indicators for volatility and trend confirmation.
Risk Disclaimer:
This strategy has been tested on the daily timeframe of Bitcoin, but users should be aware that it does not include built-in risk management except for the below-EMA exit condition. Users should be extremely cautious when using this strategy and are encouraged to implement their own risk management, such as using stop-losses, position sizing, and setting appropriate limits. Trading involves significant risk, and this strategy does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always test any strategy in a demo environment before applying it to live markets.

Works Across Assets: This indicator is applicable to any asset (stocks, forex, crypto) where price action relative to moving averages and VWAP is important.
Rolling VWAPGuide for Traders
What is the Rolling VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a key indicator used by traders to assess the average price of an asset, weighted by volume over a specified period. Unlike a simple moving average, the VWAP accounts for trading volume, making it a more accurate reflection of price action and market sentiment.
The Rolling VWAP in this script dynamically updates based on a user-defined period, allowing traders to view the average price over a chosen number of bars. This is particularly useful for identifying trends and potential entry or exit points in the market.
Key Benefits of Using Rolling VWAP
Better Market Insight: VWAP provides insight into where most trading is occurring, helping you gauge the strength of a price move.
Support and Resistance Levels: It often acts as dynamic support or resistance, signaling areas where price might reverse.
Trend Confirmation: A rising VWAP suggests a bullish trend, while a falling VWAP indicates a bearish trend.
Informed Entry/Exit Decisions: Use the VWAP to find entry points below it in an uptrend or exit points above it in a downtrend.
How to Use this Script:
Custom Period Input:
You can modify the "VWAP Period" to adjust the number of bars considered in the rolling calculation.
The default period is 14 bars, but you can set it based on your strategy (e.g., shorter for intraday trading, longer for swing trading).
Chart Interpretation
Bullish Signals: When the price is above the VWAP line, it suggests upward momentum, and you may consider buying opportunities.
Bearish Signals: When the price is below the VWAP, it indicates downward momentum, and you may consider selling or shorting opportunities.
Reversion to VWAP: Prices often revert to the VWAP after extended moves away from it, offering potential trade setups.
Combine with Other Indicators:
Momentum Indicators: Use with RSI, MACD, or moving averages for confirmation.
Volume Analysis: VWAP works well when combined with volume indicators to assess if a breakout is supported by high trading volume.
Customization:
Traders can customize the script's period and plot color to fit their charting preferences.
Practical Tips:
Intraday Traders: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 or 10) to capture VWAP trends in fast-moving markets.
Swing Traders: Use longer periods (e.g., 50 or 100) to assess longer-term price and volume trends.
By integrating this Rolling VWAP into your strategy, you can better understand where the majority of trading volume has occurred, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your trading process.

Happy Trading!
Gaussian RSI For Loop [TrendX_]The Gaussian RSI For Loop indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for trend-following traders seeking to identify strong uptrends in the market. By integrating a Gaussian and Weighted-MA (GWMA) with the Relative Strength Index (RSI), this indicator employs a loop-based scoring system to provide clear signals for potential trading opportunities. The combination of Gaussian smoothing techniques and overbought/oversold filtering enhances the indicator's ability to capture significant price movements while reducing noise, making it an optimal choice for traders aiming to capitalize on robust upward trends.
💎 KEY FEATURES
Gaussian Weighted Moving Average (GWMA): Smooths price data to reduce noise and enhance responsiveness to significant price changes.
Filtered RSI: Applies the RSI to Gaussian-filtered data, allowing for more accurate momentum readings.
Wavetrend Analysis: Calculates the difference between the Filtered RSI and its short-term moving average, providing additional insights into momentum shifts.
Loop-Based Scoring System: Evaluates the strength and direction of uptrends through a systematic analysis of the Filtered RSI against defined thresholds.
⚙️ USAGES
Identifying Strong Uptrends: Traders can use this indicator to pinpoint periods of strong upward momentum, helping them make informed decisions about entering long positions and its exits.
Trend and Signal Confirmation: The Score confirms Long and Exit signals which traders can see through the Dots on the Gaussian RSI.
🔎 BREAKDOWN
Gaussian-Filtered Data:
The first component of the Gaussian RSI For Loop is the application of a GWMA to the sourced price data. This smoothing technique uses weighted averages based on a Gaussian distribution, which emphasizes more recent prices while diminishing the impact of older prices. This GWMA effectively reduces market noise, allowing traders to focus on significant price movements. By adjusting weights using sigma parameters, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator, making it more responsive to genuine market trends while filtering out minor fluctuations that could lead to misleading signals.
Filtered RSI:
Next, the RSI is applied to the Gaussian-filtered data. The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, providing insights into overbought or oversold conditions. By applying the RSI to smoothed price data, traders obtain a clearer view of momentum without the distortion caused by sudden price spikes or drops. This results in more reliable readings that help identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Wavetrend Analysis:
The Wavetrend component calculates the difference between the Filtered RSI and its short-term moving average (MA). This difference serves as an additional momentum indicator. When the Filtered RSI is above its short-term MA, it suggests that upward momentum is strengthening; conversely, when it falls below, it indicates weakening momentum. This analysis helps traders confirm whether an uptrend is gaining strength or losing traction.
Loop-Based Scoring System:
Range Analysis: The system evaluates the Filtered RSI by comparing its current value against overbought (OB) and oversold (OS) thresholds over a defined range. This systematic approach ensures that each value within this range contributes to understanding overall trend strength.
Score Calculation: As the loop iterates through values within the defined range, it adjusts a score based on whether the current Filtered RSI and its previous values are higher or lower than established OB and OS levels. This scoring mechanism quantifies trend strength and direction.
Strong Uptrend Trigger: A strong uptrend signal is generated when the score exceeds a predefined Score Threshold (Long). This indicates that bullish momentum is robust enough to warrant entry into long positions.
None Trend: Conversely, if the score falls below the Score Threshold (Short), it suggests that upward momentum has weakened significantly, signaling potential exit points and it can be consolidated or downtrend.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is not financial advice, it can only help traders make better decisions. There are many factors and uncertainties that can affect the outcome of any endeavor, and no one can guarantee or predict with certainty what will occur. Therefore, one should always exercise caution and judgment when making decisions based on past performance.

This indicator is suitable for advanced traders who need detailed control over their session timing and price level analysis, with multiple layers of customization for visualizing key market behaviors.
NYSE VOLD RatioThe UVOL/DVOL Two-Sided Ratio Histogram is a custom indicator that visualizes the relationship between the up volume ( USI:UVOL ) and down volume ( USI:DVOL ) on any given chart timeframe. The indicator dynamically adjusts to the chart’s timeframe and displays the ratio of USI:UVOL to USI:DVOL in a histogram format, making it easy to spot when the up volume exceeds down volume (and vice versa).
The ratio is calculated as follows:
If USI:UVOL > USI:DVOL : The ratio is USI:UVOL / USI:DVOL , displayed as a positive bar.
If USI:DVOL > USI:UVOL : The ratio is USI:DVOL / USI:UVOL , displayed as a negative bar.
This approach allows traders to quickly gauge market sentiment by comparing buying volume to selling volume. The indicator is centered around a zero line, where:
Positive bars indicate that up volume is stronger than down volume.
Negative bars indicate that down volume is stronger than up volume.
Features:
Dynamic Timeframe: Automatically adjusts to the chart’s selected timeframe.
Two-Sided Histogram: Displays positive and negative bars based on the $UVOL/ USI:DVOL ratio.
Zero Reference Line: A clear horizontal line at 0 to help identify shifts in volume dominance.
Easy Volume Sentiment Analysis: Quickly spot trends in market buying vs. selling pressure.
Use Case:
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a quick, visual representation of market sentiment by comparing volume on the upside (buying pressure) versus downside (selling pressure). It can be used for identifying strong buying or selling pressure and potential reversal points.
Short-Only Cycle IndicatorThis script is a follow-up to my previous 60-day Cycle, Long-Only Indicator.
The "Short-Only Cycle Indicator" is designed to help traders navigate optimal shorting opportunities by analyzing cyclical price behavior over a defined period. It focuses on recognizing distribution phases (ideal for shorting) and accumulation phases (where shorting should be avoided). It should be used with assets that the trader has an existing thesis for downward price movement.
Key Features:
1. Cycle Length: The indicator uses a 60-day cycle to identify high and low points in price, which are then used to determine the current market phase.
2. Distribution Phase: When the price is near the cycle high, the indicator signals a distribution phase, indicating potential shorting opportunities.
3. Accumulation Phase: When the price is near the cycle low, the indicator signals an accumulation phase, advising traders to avoid shorting.
4. Short Signal: A short signal is triggered when the price crosses below the cycle high, which is visually marked on the chart for easy identification.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who prefer a short-only strategy, as it helps them time their entries and avoid shorting during unfavorable market conditions.
