Cumulative Volume DeltaThis Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator analyzes intra-bar volume dynamics. It introduces a periodic reset mechanism, anchoring the accumulation to a user-defined timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly) for cyclical analysis.
Key Features:
Dual CVD Calculation: The indicator computes two CVD values simultaneously:
Periodic CVD: Resets on the user-defined 'Anchor Timeframe'. This is plotted as "Delta Candles".
Continuous CVD: Accumulates volume continuously (non-resetting) and is used as the source for divergence detection.
Intra-Bar Delta Analysis: Uses a lower timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') to calculate buy/sell pressure based on the direction of the intra-bar candles.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The periodic CVD is shown as a candle, where:
Open: The CVD value at the start of the period (or zero).
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure within that period.
Close: The final net delta value for that period.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in engine automatically detects and plots Regular (A), Hidden (B), and Exaggerated (C) divergences between price and the continuous CVD line.
Dynamic Divergence Plotting: Divergence markers are plotted relative to the periodic (candle) CVD. They automatically adjust their vertical position after a reset to remain visually aligned with the plotted candles.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire dual-CVD analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The periodic CVD crossing the zero line.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the delta and the main bar's direction.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Volume Weighted Standard DeviationThis indicator calculates the Standard Deviation and decomposes total volatility into its core components, allowing to analyze the underlying character of the market.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): Calculates a simple (Volume-Weighted) Standard Deviation of the selected Source.
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility (choppiness, noise) and between-bar volatility (trending moves). (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this information:
Absolute Mode: Plots the total standard deviation as a stacked area chart, showing the proportional contribution of the 'Between' and 'Within' components.
Normalized Mode: Plots the direct ratio of each component's variance (from 0 to 1), making it easy to identify which character is dominant.
Calculation Options: The volatility calculation can be optionally Volume weighted. An optional Normalize Volatility setting performs the calculation in logarithmic space, making volatility comparable across different price scales.
Volatility Pivot Detection: Includes a built-in pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in the total volatility line. (Note: This is only visible in 'Absolute Mode').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Volatility Lines: The volatility lines can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 6 alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Trend Character Emerging', 'Character Change from Trend to Choppy').
Volatility pivot (high or low) detection.

Dual FUT/Spot price with next monthly expiryThis Pine Script dashboard indicator is specifically designed for pair trading strategies in Indian futures markets (NSE). Let me break down how it facilitates pair trading:
Core Pair Trading Concept
The script monitors two correlated stocks simultaneously (Symbol A and Symbol B), comparing their:
Spot prices vs Futures prices
Current month futures vs Next month futures
Premium/discount relationships
Key Pair Trading Features
1. Dual Symbol Monitoring
symbolA = "NSE:TCS" (Default)
symbolB = "NSE:INFY" (Default)
Allows traders to watch two stocks in the same sector (like TCS and Infosys in IT) to identify relative value opportunities.
2. Basis Analysis for Each Stock
The indicator calculates the basis (difference between futures and spot):
Price Difference: FUT - SPOT
Premium/Discount %: ((FUT - SPOT) / SPOT) × 100
This helps identify when one stock's futures are relatively more expensive than the other's.
3. Multi-Expiry View
Near Month Futures (1!): Current active contract
Next Month Futures (2!): Upcoming contract
This enables calendar spread analysis within each stock and helps anticipate rollover effects.
4. Comparative Table
The detailed table displays side-by-side:
Symbol Spot Price Near Future Near Diff (%)Next Monthly Next Diff (%)Lot SizeTCS₹3,500₹3,520+20 (+0.57%)₹3,535+35 (+1.00%)125INFY₹1,450₹1,455+5 (+0.34%)₹1,460+10 (+0.69%)600
5. Lot Size Integration
Critical for position sizing in pair trades - the indicator fetches actual contract lot sizes, enabling proper hedge ratio calculations.
Pair Trading Strategies Enabled
Strategy 1: Basis Divergence Trading
When TCS futures trade at +0.8% premium and INFY at +0.2%
Trade: Short TCS futures, Long INFY futures (betting on convergence)
The indicator highlights these differences with color-coded cells
Strategy 2: Calendar Spread Arbitrage
Compare near month vs next month premium for each stock
If TCS shows wider calendar spread than INFY, potential arbitrage exists
Trade the relative calendar spread difference
Strategy 3: Premium/Discount Reversal
Monitor which stock moves from premium to discount (or vice versa)
Color indicators (green/red) make this immediately visible
Enter pairs when relative premium relationships normalize
Strategy 4: Lot-Adjusted Pair Trading
Use lot size data to create market-neutral positions
Example: If TCS lot = 125 and INFY lot = 600
Ratio = 600/125 = 4.8:1 for rupee-neutral positioning
Visual Trading Cues
Green cells: Futures at premium (contango)
Red cells: Futures at discount (backwardation)
Purple values: Next month contracts
Yellow highlights: Spot prices
Practical Pair Trading Example
Scenario: Both stocks in same sector, historically correlated
Normal state: Both show +0.5% premium
Divergence: TCS jumps to +1.2%, INFY stays at +0.5%
Trade Signal:
Short TCS futures (expensive)
Long INFY futures (relatively cheap)
Exit: When premiums converge back to similar levels
Hedge ratio: Use lot sizes to maintain proper exposure balance
Advantages for Pair Traders
✓ Single-screen monitoring of both legs
✓ Real-time basis calculations eliminate manual math
✓ Multi-timeframe view (near + next month)
✓ Automatic lot size fetching for position sizing
✓ Visual alerts through color coding
✓ Percentage normalization for easy comparison
This indicator essentially transforms raw price data into actionable pair trading intelligence by highlighting relative value discrepancies between correlated assets in the futures market.

Volume Weighted Bollinger BandsThis indicator provides a customizable version of Bollinger Bands, enhanced with optional volume weighting and a method for decomposing market volatility.
Key Features:
Volatility Decomposition: The indicator's primary feature is its ability to separate total volatility, controlled by the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a customizable Bollinger Band. It calculates the standard deviation of the user-selected Source and plots a single set of bands.
Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead). This mode displays two sets of bands:
Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'between-bar' volatility.
Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of between-bar and within-bar components).
Customizable Construction: The indicator is a hybrid:
Basis Line: The central line is calculated using a selectable Moving Average type (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the basis MA and the volatility decomposition.
Logarithmic Scaling: An optional 'Normalize' mode calculates the bands on a logarithmic scale. This results in bands that maintain a constant percentage distance from the basis, suitable for analyzing exponential markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central MA line and the outermost calculated volatility band.

Volume Weighted Keltner ChannelThis indicator provides a customizable implementation of Keltner Channels (KC), a volatility-based envelope designed to identify trend direction and potential reversal or breakout zones. It allows deep control over its core components and calculation methods.
Key Features:
Customizable Components: This implementation allows for full control over the channel's construction:
Basis Line: Choose from a wide range of moving average types (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA) for the central line.
Volatility Bands: Select the volatility measure used to construct the bands: Average True Range (ATR), True Range (TR), or bar Range (High-Low).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the basis moving average and the selected volatility measure (e.g., creating a Volume-Weighted ATR). This makes the channel more responsive to moves backed by high market participation.
Logarithmic Scaling: The indicator includes an optional 'Normalize' mode that calculates the channel on a logarithmic scale. This creates bands that represent a constant percentage distance from the basis, making it a suitable tool for analyzing long-term trends in exponential markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the upper band, lower band, and the central basis line.

Scientific Correlation Testing FrameworkScientific Correlation Testing Framework - Comprehensive Guide
Introduction to Correlation Analysis
What is Correlation?
Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the degree to which two assets move in relation to each other. Think of it like measuring how closely two dancers move together on a dance floor.
Perfect Positive Correlation (+1.0): Both dancers move in perfect sync, same direction, same speed
Perfect Negative Correlation (-1.0): Both dancers move in perfect sync but in opposite directions
Zero Correlation (0): The dancers move completely independently of each other
In financial markets, correlation helps us understand relationships between different assets, which is crucial for:
Portfolio diversification
Risk management
Pairs trading strategies
Hedging positions
Market analysis
Why This Script is Special
This script goes beyond simple correlation calculations by providing:
Two different correlation methods (Pearson and Spearman)
Statistical significance testing to ensure results are meaningful
Rolling correlation analysis to track how relationships change over time
Visual representation for easy interpretation
Comprehensive statistics table with detailed metrics
Deep Dive into the Script's Components
1. Input Parameters Explained-
Symbol Selection:
This allows you to select the second asset to compare with the chart's primary asset
Default is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), but you can change this to any symbol
Example: If you're viewing a Bitcoin chart, you might set this to "NASDAQ:TSLA" to see if Bitcoin and Tesla are correlated
Correlation Window (60): This is the number of periods used to calculate the main correlation
Larger values (e.g., 100-500) provide more stable, long-term correlation measures
Smaller values (e.g., 10-50) are more responsive to recent price movements
60 is a good balance for most daily charts (about 3 months of trading days)
Rolling Correlation Window (20): A shorter window to detect recent changes in correlation
This helps identify when the relationship between assets is strengthening or weakening
Default of 20 is roughly one month of trading days
Return Type: This determines how price changes are calculated
Simple Returns: (Today's Price - Yesterday's Price) / Yesterday's Price
Easy to understand: "The asset went up 2% today"
Log Returns: Natural logarithm of (Today's Price / Yesterday's Price)
More mathematically elegant for statistical analysis
Better for time-additive properties (returns over multiple periods)
Less sensitive to extreme values.
Confidence Level (95%): This determines how certain we want to be about our results
95% confidence means we accept a 5% chance of being wrong (false positive)
Higher confidence (e.g., 99%) makes the test more strict
Lower confidence (e.g., 90%) makes the test more lenient
95% is the standard in most scientific research
Show Statistical Significance: When enabled, the script will test if the correlation is statistically significant or just due to random chance.
Display options control what you see on the chart:
Show Pearson/Spearman/Rolling Correlation: Toggle each correlation type on/off
Show Scatter Plot: Displays a scatter plot of returns (limited to recent points to avoid performance issues)
Show Statistical Tests: Enables the detailed statistics table
Table Text Size: Adjusts the size of text in the statistics table
2.Functions explained-
calcReturns():
This function calculates price returns based on your selected method:
Log Returns:
Formula: ln(Price_t / Price_t-1)
Example: If a stock goes from $100 to $101, the log return is ln(101/100) = ln(1.01) ≈ 0.00995 or 0.995%
Benefits: More symmetric, time-additive, and better for statistical modeling
Simple Returns:
Formula: (Price_t - Price_t-1) / Price_t-1
Example: If a stock goes from $100 to $101, the simple return is (101-100)/100 = 0.01 or 1%
Benefits: More intuitive and easier to understand
rankArray():
This function calculates the rank of each value in an array, which is used for Spearman correlation:
How ranking works:
The smallest value gets rank 1
The second smallest gets rank 2, and so on
For ties (equal values), they get the average of their ranks
Example: For values
Sorted:
Ranks: (the two 2s tie for ranks 1 and 2, so they both get 1.5)
Why this matters: Spearman correlation uses ranks instead of actual values, making it less sensitive to outliers and non-linear relationships.
pearsonCorr():
This function calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient:
Mathematical Formula:
r = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / √
Where x and y are the two variables, and n is the sample size
What it measures:
The strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables
Values range from -1 (perfect negative linear relationship) to +1 (perfect positive linear relationship)
0 indicates no linear relationship
Example:
If two stocks have a Pearson correlation of 0.8, they have a strong positive linear relationship
When one stock goes up, the other tends to go up in a fairly consistent proportion
spearmanCorr():
This function calculates the Spearman rank correlation:
How it works:
Convert each value in both datasets to its rank
Calculate the Pearson correlation on the ranks instead of the original values
What it measures:
The strength and direction of the monotonic relationship between two variables
A monotonic relationship is one where as one variable increases, the other either consistently increases or decreases
It doesn't require the relationship to be linear
When to use it instead of Pearson:
When the relationship is monotonic but not linear
When there are significant outliers in the data
When the data is ordinal (ranked) rather than interval/ratio
Example:
If two stocks have a Spearman correlation of 0.7, they have a strong positive monotonic relationship
When one stock goes up, the other tends to go up, but not necessarily in a straight-line relationship
tStatistic():
This function calculates the t-statistic for correlation:
Mathematical Formula: t = r × √((n-2)/(1-r²))
Where r is the correlation coefficient and n is the sample size
What it measures:
How many standard errors the correlation is away from zero
Used to test the null hypothesis that the true correlation is zero
Interpretation:
Larger absolute t-values indicate stronger evidence against the null hypothesis
Generally, a t-value greater than 2 (in absolute terms) is considered statistically significant at the 95% confidence level
criticalT() and pValue():
These functions provide approximations for statistical significance testing:
criticalT():
Returns the critical t-value for a given degrees of freedom (df) and significance level
The critical value is the threshold that the t-statistic must exceed to be considered statistically significant
Uses approximations since Pine Script doesn't have built-in statistical distribution functions
pValue():
Estimates the p-value for a given t-statistic and degrees of freedom
The p-value is the probability of observing a correlation as strong as the one calculated, assuming the true correlation is zero
Smaller p-values indicate stronger evidence against the null hypothesis
Standard interpretation:
p < 0.01: Very strong evidence (marked with **)
p < 0.05: Strong evidence (marked with *)
p ≥ 0.05: Weak evidence, not statistically significant
stdev():
This function calculates the standard deviation of a dataset:
Mathematical Formula: σ = √(Σ(x-μ)²/(n-1))
Where x is each value, μ is the mean, and n is the sample size
What it measures:
The amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values
A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean
A high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range
Why it matters for correlation:
Standard deviation is used in calculating the correlation coefficient
It also provides information about the volatility of each asset's returns
Comparing standard deviations helps understand the relative riskiness of the two assets.
3.Getting Price Data-
price1: The closing price of the primary asset (the chart you're viewing)
price2: The closing price of the secondary asset (the one you selected in the input parameters)
Returns are used instead of raw prices because:
Returns are typically stationary (mean and variance stay constant over time)
Returns normalize for price levels, allowing comparison between assets of different values
Returns represent what investors actually care about: percentage changes in value
4.Information Table-
Creates a table to display statistics
Only shows on the last bar to avoid performance issues
Positioned in the top right of the chart
Has 2 columns and 15 rows
Populating the Table
The script then populates the table with various statistics:
Header Row: "Metric" and "Value"
Sample Information: Sample size and return type
Pearson Correlation: Value, t-statistic, p-value, and significance
Spearman Correlation: Value, t-statistic, p-value, and significance
Rolling Correlation: Current value
Standard Deviations: For both assets
Interpretation: Text description of the correlation strength
The table uses color coding to highlight important information:
Green for significant positive results
Red for significant negative results
Yellow for borderline significance
Color-coded headers for each section
=> Practical Applications and Interpretation
How to Interpret the Results
Correlation Strength
0.0 to 0.3 (or 0.0 to -0.3): Weak or no correlation
The assets move mostly independently of each other
Good for diversification purposes
0.3 to 0.7 (or -0.3 to -0.7): Moderate correlation
The assets show some tendency to move together (or in opposite directions)
May be useful for certain trading strategies but not extremely reliable
0.7 to 1.0 (or -0.7 to -1.0): Strong correlation
The assets show a strong tendency to move together (or in opposite directions)
Can be useful for pairs trading, hedging, or as a market indicator
Statistical Significance
p < 0.01: Very strong evidence that the correlation is real
Marked with ** in the table
Very unlikely to be due to random chance
p < 0.05: Strong evidence that the correlation is real
Marked with * in the table
Unlikely to be due to random chance
p ≥ 0.05: Weak evidence that the correlation is real
Not marked in the table
Could easily be due to random chance
Rolling Correlation
The rolling correlation shows how the relationship between assets changes over time
If the rolling correlation is much different from the long-term correlation, it suggests the relationship is changing
This can indicate:
A shift in market regime
Changing fundamentals of one or both assets
Temporary market dislocations that might present trading opportunities
Trading Applications
1. Portfolio Diversification
Goal: Reduce overall portfolio risk by combining assets that don't move together
Strategy: Look for assets with low or negative correlations
Example: If you hold tech stocks, you might add some utilities or bonds that have low correlation with tech
2. Pairs Trading
Goal: Profit from the relative price movements of two correlated assets
Strategy:
Find two assets with strong historical correlation
When their prices diverge (one goes up while the other goes down)
Buy the underperforming asset and short the outperforming asset
Close the positions when they converge back to their normal relationship
Example: If Coca-Cola and Pepsi are highly correlated but Coca-Cola drops while Pepsi rises, you might buy Coca-Cola and short Pepsi
3. Hedging
Goal: Reduce risk by taking an offsetting position in a negatively correlated asset
Strategy: Find assets that tend to move in opposite directions
Example: If you hold a portfolio of stocks, you might buy some gold or government bonds that tend to rise when stocks fall
4. Market Analysis
Goal: Understand market dynamics and interrelationships
Strategy: Analyze correlations between different sectors or asset classes
Example:
If tech stocks and semiconductor stocks are highly correlated, movements in one might predict movements in the other
If the correlation between stocks and bonds changes, it might signal a shift in market expectations
5. Risk Management
Goal: Understand and manage portfolio risk
Strategy: Monitor correlations to identify when diversification benefits might be breaking down
Example: During market crises, many assets that normally have low correlations can become highly correlated (correlation convergence), reducing diversification benefits
Advanced Interpretation and Caveats
Correlation vs. Causation
Important Note: Correlation does not imply causation
Example: Ice cream sales and drowning incidents are correlated (both increase in summer), but one doesn't cause the other
Implication: Just because two assets move together doesn't mean one causes the other to move
Solution: Look for fundamental economic reasons why assets might be correlated
Non-Stationary Correlations
Problem: Correlations between assets can change over time
Causes:
Changing market conditions
Shifts in monetary policy
Structural changes in the economy
Changes in the underlying businesses
Solution: Use rolling correlations to monitor how relationships change over time
Outliers and Extreme Events
Problem: Extreme market events can distort correlation measurements
Example: During a market crash, many assets may move in the same direction regardless of their normal relationship
Solution:
Use Spearman correlation, which is less sensitive to outliers
Be cautious when interpreting correlations during extreme market conditions
Sample Size Considerations
Problem: Small sample sizes can produce unreliable correlation estimates
Rule of Thumb: Use at least 30 data points for a rough estimate, 60+ for more reliable results
Solution:
Use the default correlation length of 60 or higher
Be skeptical of correlations calculated with small samples
Timeframe Considerations
Problem: Correlations can vary across different timeframes
Example: Two assets might be positively correlated on a daily basis but negatively correlated on a weekly basis
Solution:
Test correlations on multiple timeframes
Use the timeframe that matches your trading horizon
Look-Ahead Bias
Problem: Using information that wouldn't have been available at the time of trading
Example: Calculating correlation using future data
Solution: This script avoids look-ahead bias by using only historical data
Best Practices for Using This Script
1. Appropriate Parameter Selection
Correlation Window:
For short-term trading: 20-50 periods
For medium-term analysis: 50-100 periods
For long-term analysis: 100-500 periods
Rolling Window:
Should be shorter than the main correlation window
Typically 1/3 to 1/2 of the main window
Return Type:
For most applications: Log Returns (better statistical properties)
For simplicity: Simple Returns (easier to interpret)
2. Validation and Testing

Integrated Volatility Intelligence System (IVIS) AutoKVolMind™ AutoK — Integrated Volatility Intelligence System (IVIS)
IVIS AutoK
Author: © lfu
Public Description (for publication)
VolMind™ AutoK represents an institutional-grade open-source framework for adaptive volatility intelligence and probabilistic trade management.
This system fuses Kalman-inspired KAMA smoothing, CVD dynamics, Auto K-Means clustering, entropy-based regime analysis, and a Kolmogorov–Smirnov market normality test into a single modular platform.
Key Capabilities:
Adaptive ATR Stop Bands dynamically scale with volatility, entropy, and cluster variance.
Auto KMeans Intelligence automatically selects the optimal cluster count for price structure recognition (3–10 clusters).
Entropy Module quantifies structural uncertainty and information decay within price movement.
KS-Test Integration identifies non-normal distributions, signaling regime divergence and volatility inflection.
CVD Dynamics reveal real-time directional bias via cumulative volume delta.
MSI Composite Signal fuses multi-source indicators (ATR, CVD, entropy, clusters) to model market stress and adaptive risk.
Designed for forward-looking quant traders, IVIS serves as a volatility intelligence backbone for portfolio automation, volatility forecasting, and adaptive stop-loss scaling.
Fully open-source for research and applied strategy development. Not a financial advice. DYOR.

Volume Weighted Average True RangeThis indicator calculates a customizable version of the Average True Range (ATR), a tool for measuring market volatility. It enhances the standard ATR with volume weighting, a dual-smoothing process, normalization, and volatility pivot detection.
Key Features:
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the volatility calculation. This provides a measure of "volume-adjusted" volatility that is more responsive to significant market activity.
Dual Smoothing Process: For noise reduction, the indicator employs a two-stage smoothing process. It first calculates a smoothed True Range (TR) over a user-defined period (TR Length) before applying the final ATR moving average (ATR Length & ATR Smooth).
Normalization (Percentage Volatility): An optional 'Normalize' mode calculates the ATR as a percentage of the price. This allows for consistent volatility comparison across different assets and over long time periods.
Volatility Pivot Detection: The indicator includes a built-in pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in the ATR line itself, signaling potential shifts in volatility.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed. This is essential for ensuring the signal is non-repainting but introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF ATR Line: The ATR line itself can be calculated on a different timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes alerts that trigger when a new volatility pivot (high or low) is detected in the ATR line.

ATR DashboardThe script calculates and displays an interactive ATR dashboard showing the current volatility level through various ATR metrics. It includes multi-period ATR values (5, 14, 20, 50), the ATR percentage relative to price, an estimated daily range, and suggested Stop Loss levels for both long and short positions.
Optionally, it can plot ATR bands on the chart to visualize the volatility zone.
⚙️ Key Features
Dynamic calculation of ATR and its moving average to detect whether volatility is increasing or decreasing.
Customizable on-chart dashboard (position, colors) displaying:
Current ATR value and % of price
ATR multiplied by a configurable factor
Multi-timeframe ATR (5, 14, 20, 50)
Volatility trend (Increasing / Decreasing)
Suggested Stop Loss levels (Long / Short)
Optional ATR bands plotted directly on the chart.
Built-in alerts for:
ATR crossing its moving average (volatility shift)
50%+ volatility spike in a single bar.
Money Volume • Buyers vs Sellers — @tgambinoxThis indicator estimates the total amount of money traded (Volume × Price)
and splits it between buyers and sellers based on each candle’s behavior.
It displays green bars for buyers and orange bars for sellers, allowing you to see
which side of the market is concentrating the capital.
Useful for detecting flow imbalances, buying/selling pressure,
and confirming price moves alongside total monetary volume (blue line).
Clean Market Structures This indicator marks out the highs and lows on the chart, allowing traders to easily follow the market structure and identify potential liquidity zones.
Highs are plotted when an up candle is followed by a down candle, marking the highest wick of that two-candle formation.
Lows are plotted when a down candle is followed by an up candle, marking the lowest wick of that two-candle formation.
These levels often act as liquidity pools, since liquidity typically rests above previous highs and below previous lows .
By highlighting these areas, the indicator helps traders visualize where price may seek liquidity and react, making it useful for structure-based and liquidity-driven trading strategies.
5 SMA/EMA_ZigzagThis indicator combines five SMA/EMA/WMA lines with the “ZigZag with Fibonacci Levels” indicator by LonesomeTheBlue, designed to trade according to Thắng Đoàn SMT’s method.
EMA 21 34
Zigzag 3/5
Volume Weighted Intra Bar Standard DeviationThis indicator provides a high-resolution analysis of market volatility by dissecting each bar on the chart into its fundamental components. It uses data from a lower, intra-bar timeframe to separate the total volatility of a single bar into its 'directional' and 'non-directional' parts.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Volatility Decomposition: For each bar on the chart, the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') and quantifies two types of volatility:
Between-Bar Volatility (Directional): Calculated from price movements between the intra-bar candles. This component represents the directional, trending price action within the main bar.
Within-Bar Volatility (Non-Directional): Calculated from price fluctuations inside each intra-bar candle. This component represents the choppy, noisy, or ranging price action.
Dual Display Modes: The indicator offers two modes to visualize this information:
Absolute Mode: Plots the total standard deviation as a stacked column chart, showing the absolute magnitude of volatility and the contribution of each component.
Normalized Mode: Plots the components as a 100% stacked column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the percentage ratio of 'between-bar' (trending) and 'within-bar' (choppy) volatility.
Calculation Options:
Statistical Model: The 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option (enabled by default) uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to perform the decomposition. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used instead).
Normalization: An optional 'Normalize Volatility' setting calculates volatility in percentage terms (log-space).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all intra-bar volatility calculations.
Volatility Pivot Detection: Includes a built-in pivot detector that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in the total volatility line. (Note: This is only visible in 'Absolute Mode').
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Analysis Lines: The entire intra-bar analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 6 alerts for:
Volatility character changes (e.g., 'Character Change from Choppy to Trend').
Dominant character emerging (e.g., 'Trend Character Emerging').
Total Volatility pivot (High/Low) detection.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.
