RSI-BBGun-v6.1RSI BB Gun – Operator's Guide
“Eyes on target. Wait for the right moment. Then strike.”
________________________________________
🎯 Mission Objective
RSI BB Gun identifies extreme market conditions using RSI and Bollinger Bands, then overlays trend and volatility intelligence so you know when the setup is real.
The ❌ is your target acquisition signal—price just moved from an extreme zone back into play. Now you’ve got a clean radar lock.
________________________________________
📡 How to Operate
🟣 Step 1: Watch for the ❌'s (Black X = RSI & Bollinger Band Extremes Encountered)
• The Purple X means price and RSI are both stretched—and just snapped back into range.
• The target is now in the cross hairs and potentially ready for engagement.
🟥 Step 2: Confirm the Trend
• The thick ribbon tells you if the trend is with you:
o 🟢 Green = Uptrend. Focus on long setups.
o 🔴 Red = Downtrend. Focus on puts or short plays.
• Align with trend. Only engage when the field favors your position.
🔺 Step 3: Evaluate Signal Context
• Green Triangles = price just crossed below lower Bollinger Band (oversold).
• Red Triangles = price crossed above upper Band (overbought).
• Horizontal Lines Disappeared = The bar after the green or red horizontal line disappears means its time. We patiently wait for this as it means the momentum may be changing.
• These are your early indicators—they scout the setup on the GO / NO GO DECISION.
• ❌ + triangle + trend = clean shot.
________________________________________
☁️ Avoid These Situations
• ❌ in a choppy/no-trend zone = false alarm. Don’t engage.
• Repeated black ❌s without a purple ❌confirmation = low conviction. Let it go.

TTM Squeeze Value OscillatorThis indicator is specifically designed for use with TradingView's Stock Screener, not for chart analysis. It provides numerical values and binary signals that allow traders to efficiently scan stocks for specific TTM Squeeze conditions, momentum patterns, and EMA alignments.
What It Does
The TTM Squeeze Value Oscillator converts the popular TTM Squeeze indicator into a screenable format by outputting specific numerical values and binary signals (1 or 0) that can be filtered in TradingView's screener tool.
Key Features
1. TTM Squeeze Compression Levels
Value 0: Low Compression (Black) - Bollinger Bands inside outer Keltner Channels
Value 1: Mid Compression (Red) - Bollinger Bands inside middle Keltner Channels
Value 2: High Compression (Orange) - Bollinger Bands inside inner Keltner Channels
Value 3: Squeeze Fired (Green) - Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels
2. Momentum Analysis
Four distinct momentum conditions based on TTM Squeeze methodology:
Buy Momentum Increasing - Positive momentum growing stronger
Buy Momentum Decreasing - Positive momentum weakening
Sell Momentum Increasing - Negative momentum growing stronger
Sell Momentum Decreasing - Negative momentum weakening
3. EMA Stacking Analysis
Three EMA alignment patterns using 8, 21, and 48 period EMAs:
EMA Stacked Bullish - 8 EMA > 21 EMA > 48 EMA (uptrend alignment)
EMA Stacked Bearish - 8 EMA < 21 EMA < 48 EMA (downtrend alignment)
EMA Mixed - EMAs not in clear bullish or bearish alignment
4. Consecutive Day Counters
Tracks how many consecutive days each squeeze condition has persisted:
Low Compression Days
Mid Compression Days
High Compression Days
Squeeze Fired Days
5. Combined Signal Analysis
Pre-calculated combinations of squeeze conditions with momentum:
All squeeze levels combined with all four momentum conditions
16 total combined signals for advanced screening
HMA Crossover + ATR + Curvature (Long & Short)📏 Hull Moving Averages (Trend Filters)
- fastHMA = ta.hma(close, fastLength)
- slowHMA = ta.hma(close, slowLength)
These two HMAs act as dynamic trend indicators:
- A bullish crossover of fast over slow HMA signals a potential long setup.
- A bearish crossunder triggers short interest.
⚡️ Curvature (Acceleration Filter)
- curv = ta.change(ta.change(fastHMA))
This calculates the second-order change (akin to the second derivative) of the fast HMA — effectively the acceleration of the trend. It serves as a filter:
- For long entries: curv > curvThresh (positive acceleration)
- For short entries: curv < -curvThresh (negative acceleration)
It helps eliminate weak or stagnating moves by requiring momentum behind the crossover.
📈 Volatility-Based Risk Management (ATR)
- atr = ta.atr(atrLength)
- stopLoss = atr * atrMult
- trailStop = atr * trailMult
These define your:
- Initial stop loss: scaled to recent volatility using ATR and atrMult.
- Trailing stop: also ATR-scaled, to lock in gains dynamically as price moves favorably.
💰 Position Sizing via Risk Percent
- capital = strategy.equity
- riskCapital = capital * (riskPercent / 100)
- qty = riskCapital / stopLoss
This dynamically calculates the position size (qty) such that if the stop loss is hit, the loss does not exceed the predefined percentage of account equity. It’s a volatility-adjusted position sizing method, keeping your risk consistent regardless of market conditions.
📌 Execution Logic
- Long Entry: on bullish HMA crossover with rising curvature.
- Short Entry: on bearish crossover with falling curvature.
- Exits: use ATR-based trailing stops.
- Position is closed when trend conditions reverse (e.g., bearish crossover exits the long).
This framework gives you:
- Trend-following logic (via HMAs)
- Momentum confirmation (via curvature)
- Volatility-aware execution and exits (via ATR)
- Risk-controlled dynamic sizing
Want to get surgical and test what happens if we use curvature on the difference between HMAs instead? That might give some cool insights into trend strength transitions.
VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)VWAP Deviation Channels with Probability (Lite)
Version 1.2
Overview
This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders, designed to identify high-probability areas of support and resistance. It plots the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a central "value" line and then draws statistically-based deviation channels around it.
Its unique feature is a dynamic probability engine that analyzes thousands of historical price bars to calculate and display the real-time likelihood of the price touching each of these deviation levels. This provides a quantifiable edge for making trading decisions.
Core Concepts Explained
This indicator is built on three key concepts:
The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The dotted midline of the channels is the session VWAP. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA) which only considers price, the VWAP incorporates volume into its calculation. This makes it a much more significant benchmark, as it represents the true average price where the most business has been transacted during the day. It's heavily used by institutional traders, which is why price often reacts strongly to it.
Standard Deviation Channels: The channels above and below the VWAP are based on standard deviations. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility.
- Wide Bands: When the channels are wide, it signifies high volatility.
- Narrow Bands: When the channels are tight and narrow, it signifies low volatility and
consolidation (a "squeeze").
The Conditional Probability Engine: This is the heart of the indicator. For every deviation level, the script displays a percentage. This percentage answers a very specific question:
"Based on thousands of previous bars, when the last candle had a certain momentum (bullish or bearish), what was the historical probability that the price would touch this specific level?"
The probabilities are calculated separately depending on whether the previous candle was green (bullish) or red (bearish). This provides a nuanced, momentum-based edge. The level with the highest probability is highlighted, acting as a "price magnet."
How to Use This Indicator
Recommended Timeframes:
This indicator is designed specifically for intraday trading. It works best on timeframes like the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute charts. It will not display correctly on daily or higher timeframes.
Recommended Trading Strategy: Mean Reversion
The primary strategy for this indicator is "Mean Reversion." The core idea is that as the price stretches to extreme levels far away from the VWAP (the "mean"), it is statistically more likely to "snap back" toward it.
Here is a step-by-step guide to trading this setup:
1. Identify the Extreme: Wait for the price to push into one of the outer deviation bands (e.g., the -2, -3, or -4 bands for a buy setup, or the +2, +3, or +4 bands for a sell setup).
2. Look for the High-Probability Zone: Pay close attention to the highlighted probability label. This is the level that has historically acted as the strongest magnet for price. A touch of this level represents a high-probability area for a potential reversal.
3. Wait for Confirmation: Do not enter a trade just because the price has touched a band. Wait for a confirmation candle that shows momentum is shifting.
- For a Buy: Look for a strong bullish candle (e.g., a green engulfing candle or a hammer/pin
bar) to form at the lower bands.
- For a Sell: Look for a strong bearish candle (e.g., a red engulfing candle or a shooting star)
to form at the upper bands.
Define Your Exit:
- Take Profit: A logical primary target for a mean reversion trade is the VWAP (midLine).
- Stop Loss: A logical place for a stop-loss is just outside the next deviation band. For
example, if you enter a long trade at the -3 band, your stop loss could be placed just
below the -4 band.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be considered a standalone trading system. Trading involves significant risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and sound risk management practices.

Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.
ATR Buy, Target, Stop + OverlayATR Buy, Target, Stop + Overlay
This tool is to assist traders with precise trade planning using the Average True Range (ATR) as a volatility-based reference.
This script plots buy, target, and stop-loss levels on the chart based on a user-defined buy price and ATR-based multipliers, allowing for objective and adaptive trade management.
*NOTE* In order for the indicator to initiate plotted lines and table values a non-zero number must be entered into the settings.
What It Does:
Buy Price Input: Users enter a manual buy price (e.g., an executed or planned trade entry).
ATR-Based Target and Stop: The script calculates:
Target Price = Buy + (ATR × Target Multiplier)
Stop Price = Buy − (ATR × Stop Multiplier)
Customizable Timeframe: Optionally override the ATR timeframe (e.g., use daily ATR on a 1-hour chart).
Visual Overlay: Lines are drawn directly on the price chart for the Buy, Target, and Stop levels.
Interactive Table: A table is displayed with relevant levels and ATR info.
Customization Options:
Line Settings:
Adjust color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width for Buy, Target, and Stop lines.

Color█ OVERVIEW
This library is a Pine Script® programming tool for advanced color processing. It provides a comprehensive set of functions for specifying and analyzing colors in various color spaces, mixing and manipulating colors, calculating custom gradients and schemes, detecting contrast, and converting colors to or from hexadecimal strings.
█ CONCEPTS
Color
Color refers to how we interpret light of different wavelengths in the visible spectrum . The colors we see from an object represent the light wavelengths that it reflects, emits, or transmits toward our eyes. Some colors, such as blue and red, correspond directly to parts of the spectrum. Others, such as magenta, arise from a combination of wavelengths to which our minds assign a single color.
The human interpretation of color lends itself to many uses in our world. In the context of financial data analysis, the effective use of color helps transform raw data into insights that users can understand at a glance. For example, colors can categorize series, signal market conditions and sessions, and emphasize patterns or relationships in data.
Color models and spaces
A color model is a general mathematical framework that describes colors using sets of numbers. A color space is an implementation of a specific color model that defines an exact range (gamut) of reproducible colors based on a set of primary colors , a reference white point , and sometimes additional parameters such as viewing conditions.
There are numerous different color spaces — each describing the characteristics of color in unique ways. Different spaces carry different advantages, depending on the application. Below, we provide a brief overview of the concepts underlying the color spaces supported by this library.
RGB
RGB is one of the most well-known color models. It represents color as an additive mixture of three primary colors — red, green, and blue lights — with various intensities. Each cone cell in the human eye responds more strongly to one of the three primaries, and the average person interprets the combination of these lights as a distinct color (e.g., pure red + pure green = yellow).
The sRGB color space is the most common RGB implementation. Developed by HP and Microsoft in the 1990s, sRGB provided a standardized baseline for representing color across CRT monitors of the era, which produced brightness levels that did not increase linearly with the input signal. To match displays and optimize brightness encoding for human sensitivity, sRGB applied a nonlinear transformation to linear RGB signals, often referred to as gamma correction . The result produced more visually pleasing outputs while maintaining a simple encoding. As such, sRGB quickly became a standard for digital color representation across devices and the web. To this day, it remains the default color space for most web-based content.
TradingView charts and Pine Script `color.*` built-ins process color data in sRGB. The red, green, and blue channels range from 0 to 255, where 0 represents no intensity, and 255 represents maximum intensity. Each combination of red, green, and blue values represents a distinct color, resulting in a total of 16,777,216 displayable colors.
CIE XYZ and xyY
The XYZ color space, developed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1931, aims to describe all color sensations that a typical human can perceive. It is a cornerstone of color science, forming the basis for many color spaces used today. XYZ, and the derived xyY space, provide a universal representation of color that is not tethered to a particular display. Many widely used color spaces, including sRGB, are defined relative to XYZ or derived from it.
The CIE built the color space based on a series of experiments in which people matched colors they perceived from mixtures of lights. From these experiments, the CIE developed color-matching functions to calculate three components — X, Y, and Z — which together aim to describe a standard observer's response to visible light. X represents a weighted response to light across the color spectrum, with the highest contribution from long wavelengths (e.g., red). Y represents a weighted response to medium wavelengths (e.g., green), and it corresponds to a color's relative luminance (i.e., brightness). Z represents a weighted response to short wavelengths (e.g., blue).
From the XYZ space, the CIE developed the xyY chromaticity space, which separates a color's chromaticity (hue and colorfulness) from luminance. The CIE used this space to define the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram , which represents the full range of visible colors at a given luminance. In color science and lighting design, xyY is a common means for specifying colors and visualizing the supported ranges of other color spaces.
CIELAB and Oklab
The CIELAB (L*a*b*) color space, derived from XYZ by the CIE in 1976, expresses colors based on opponent process theory. The L* component represents perceived lightness, and the a* and b* components represent the balance between opposing unique colors. The a* value specifies the balance between green and red , and the b* value specifies the balance between blue and yellow .
The primary intention of CIELAB was to provide a perceptually uniform color space, where fixed-size steps through the space correspond to uniform perceived changes in color. Although relatively uniform, the color space has been found to exhibit some non-uniformities, particularly in the blue part of the color spectrum. Regardless, modern applications often use CIELAB to estimate perceived color differences and calculate smooth color gradients.
In 2020, a new LAB-oriented color space, Oklab , was introduced by Björn Ottosson as an attempt to rectify the non-uniformities of other perceptual color spaces. Similar to CIELAB, the L value in Oklab represents perceived lightness, and the a and b values represent the balance between opposing unique colors. Oklab has gained widespread adoption as a perceptual space for color processing, with support in the latest CSS Color specifications and many software applications.
Cylindrical models
A cylindrical-coordinate model transforms an underlying color model, such as RGB or LAB, into an alternative expression of color information that is often more intuitive for the average person to use and understand.
Instead of a mixture of primary colors or opponent pairs, these models represent color as a hue angle on a color wheel , with additional parameters that describe other qualities such as lightness and colorfulness (a general term for concepts like chroma and saturation). In cylindrical-coordinate spaces, users can select a color and modify its lightness or other qualities without altering the hue.
The three most common RGB-based models are HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), and HWB (Hue, Whiteness, Blackness). All three define hue angles in the same way, but they define colorfulness and lightness differently. Although they are not perceptually uniform, HSL and HSV are commonplace in color pickers and gradients.
For CIELAB and Oklab, the cylindrical-coordinate versions are CIELCh and Oklch , which express color in terms of perceived lightness, chroma, and hue. They offer perceptually uniform alternatives to RGB-based models. These spaces create unique color wheels, and they have more strict definitions of lightness and colorfulness. Oklch is particularly well-suited for generating smooth, perceptual color gradients.
Alpha and transparency
Many color encoding schemes include an alpha channel, representing opacity . Alpha does not help define a color in a color space; it determines how a color interacts with other colors in the display. Opaque colors appear with full intensity on the screen, whereas translucent (semi-opaque) colors blend into the background. Colors with zero opacity are invisible.
In Pine Script, there are two ways to specify a color's alpha:
• Using the `transp` parameter of the built-in `color.*()` functions. The specified value represents transparency (the opposite of opacity), which the functions translate into an alpha value.
• Using eight-digit hexadecimal color codes. The last two digits in the code represent alpha directly.
A process called alpha compositing simulates translucent colors in a display. It creates a single displayed color by mixing the RGB channels of two colors (foreground and background) based on alpha values, giving the illusion of a semi-opaque color placed over another color. For example, a red color with 80% transparency on a black background produces a dark shade of red.
Hexadecimal color codes
A hexadecimal color code (hex code) is a compact representation of an RGB color. It encodes a color's red, green, and blue values into a sequence of hexadecimal ( base-16 ) digits. The digits are numerals ranging from `0` to `9` or letters from `a` (for 10) to `f` (for 15). Each set of two digits represents an RGB channel ranging from `00` (for 0) to `ff` (for 255).
Pine scripts can natively define colors using hex codes in the format `#rrggbbaa`. The first set of two digits represents red, the second represents green, and the third represents blue. The fourth set represents alpha . If unspecified, the value is `ff` (fully opaque). For example, `#ff8b00` and `#ff8b00ff` represent an opaque orange color. The code `#ff8b0033` represents the same color with 80% transparency.
Gradients
A color gradient maps colors to numbers over a given range. Most color gradients represent a continuous path in a specific color space, where each number corresponds to a mix between a starting color and a stopping color. In Pine, coders often use gradients to visualize value intensities in plots and heatmaps, or to add visual depth to fills.
The behavior of a color gradient depends on the mixing method and the chosen color space. Gradients in sRGB usually mix along a straight line between the red, green, and blue coordinates of two colors. In cylindrical spaces such as HSL, a gradient often rotates the hue angle through the color wheel, resulting in more pronounced color transitions.
Color schemes
A color scheme refers to a set of colors for use in aesthetic or functional design. A color scheme usually consists of just a few distinct colors. However, depending on the purpose, a scheme can include many colors.
A user might choose palettes for a color scheme arbitrarily, or generate them algorithmically. There are many techniques for calculating color schemes. A few simple, practical methods are:
• Sampling a set of distinct colors from a color gradient.
• Generating monochromatic variants of a color (i.e., tints, tones, or shades with matching hues).
• Computing color harmonies — such as complements, analogous colors, triads, and tetrads — from a base color.
This library includes functions for all three of these techniques. See below for details.
█ CALCULATIONS AND USE
Hex string conversion
The `getHexString()` function returns a string containing the eight-digit hexadecimal code corresponding to a "color" value or set of sRGB and transparency values. For example, `getHexString(255, 0, 0)` returns the string `"#ff0000ff"`, and `getHexString(color.new(color.red, 80))` returns `"#f2364533"`.
The `hexStringToColor()` function returns the "color" value represented by a string containing a six- or eight-digit hex code. The `hexStringToRGB()` function returns a tuple containing the sRGB and transparency values. For example, `hexStringToColor("#f23645")` returns the same value as color.red .
Programmers can use these functions to parse colors from "string" inputs, perform string-based color calculations, and inspect color data in text outputs such as Pine Logs and tables.
Color space conversion
All other `get*()` functions convert a "color" value or set of sRGB channels into coordinates in a specific color space, with transparency information included. For example, the tuple returned by `getHSL()` includes the color's hue, saturation, lightness, and transparency values.
To convert data from a color space back to colors or sRGB and transparency values, use the corresponding `*toColor()` or `*toRGB()` functions for that space (e.g., `hslToColor()` and `hslToRGB()`).
Programmers can use these conversion functions to process inputs that define colors in different ways, perform advanced color manipulation, design custom gradients, and more.
The color spaces this library supports are:
• sRGB
• Linear RGB (RGB without gamma correction)
• HSL, HSV, and HWB
• CIE XYZ and xyY
• CIELAB and CIELCh
• Oklab and Oklch
Contrast-based calculations
Contrast refers to the difference in luminance or color that makes one color visible against another. This library features two functions for calculating luminance-based contrast and detecting themes.
The `contrastRatio()` function calculates the contrast between two "color" values based on their relative luminance (the Y value from CIE XYZ) using the formula from version 2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) . This function is useful for identifying colors that provide a sufficient brightness difference for legibility.
The `isLightTheme()` function determines whether a specified background color represents a light theme based on its contrast with black and white. Programmers can use this function to define conditional logic that responds differently to light and dark themes.
Color manipulation and harmonies
The `negative()` function calculates the negative (i.e., inverse) of a color by reversing the color's coordinates in either the sRGB or linear RGB color space. This function is useful for calculating high-contrast colors.
The `grayscale()` function calculates a grayscale form of a specified color with the same relative luminance.
The functions `complement()`, `splitComplements()`, `analogousColors()`, `triadicColors()`, `tetradicColors()`, `pentadicColors()`, and `hexadicColors()` calculate color harmonies from a specified source color within a given color space (HSL, CIELCh, or Oklch). The returned harmonious colors represent specific hue rotations around a color wheel formed by the chosen space, with the same defined lightness, saturation or chroma, and transparency.
Color mixing and gradient creation
The `add()` function simulates combining lights of two different colors by additively mixing their linear red, green, and blue components, ignoring transparency by default. Users can calculate a transparency-weighted mixture by setting the `transpWeight` argument to `true`.
The `overlay()` function estimates the color displayed on a TradingView chart when a specific foreground color is over a background color. This function aids in simulating stacked colors and analyzing the effects of transparency.
The `fromGradient()` and `fromMultiStepGradient()` functions calculate colors from gradients in any of the supported color spaces, providing flexible alternatives to the RGB-based color.from_gradient() function. The `fromGradient()` function calculates a color from a single gradient. The `fromMultiStepGradient()` function calculates a color from a piecewise gradient with multiple defined steps. Gradients are useful for heatmaps and for coloring plots or drawings based on value intensities.
Scheme creation
Three functions in this library calculate palettes for custom color schemes. Scripts can use these functions to create responsive color schemes that adjust to calculated values and user inputs.
The `gradientPalette()` function creates an array of colors by sampling a specified number of colors along a gradient from a base color to a target color, in fixed-size steps.
The `monoPalette()` function creates an array containing monochromatic variants (tints, tones, or shades) of a specified base color. Whether the function mixes the color toward white (for tints), a form of gray (for tones), or black (for shades) depends on the `grayLuminance` value. If unspecified, the function automatically chooses the mix behavior with the highest contrast.
The `harmonyPalette()` function creates a matrix of colors. The first column contains the base color and specified harmonies, e.g., triadic colors. The columns that follow contain tints, tones, or shades of the harmonic colors for additional color choices, similar to `monoPalette()`.
█ EXAMPLE CODE
The example code at the end of the script generates and visualizes color schemes by processing user inputs. The code builds the scheme's palette based on the "Base color" input and the additional inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
• "Palette type" specifies whether the palette uses a custom gradient, monochromatic base color variants, or color harmonies with monochromatic variants.
• "Target color" sets the top color for the "Gradient" palette type.
• The "Gray luminance" inputs determine variation behavior for "Monochromatic" and "Harmony" palette types. If "Auto" is selected, the palette mixes the base color toward white or black based on its brightness. Otherwise, it mixes the color toward the grayscale color with the specified relative luminance (from 0 to 1).
• "Harmony type" specifies the color harmony used in the palette. Each row in the palette corresponds to one of the harmonious colors, starting with the base color.
The code creates a table on the first bar to display the collection of calculated colors. Each cell in the table shows the color's `getHexString()` value in a tooltip for simple inspection.
Look first. Then leap.

Indicator Description: Contrarian with 5 Levels
Overview
The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market by combining contrarian trading principles with dynamic support and resistance levels. This indicator overlays a Simple Moving Average (SMA) shadow and five adaptive price levels, integrating Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT) such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to provide clear buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on overextended price movements, particularly on the daily timeframe, though it is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator operates on two core components:
Contrarian SMA Shadow: A shaded region between the SMA of highs and lows (default length: 100) acts as a dynamic zone to identify overbought or oversold conditions. When the price moves significantly outside this shadow, it signals potential exhaustion, aligning with contrarian trading principles.
Five Adaptive Levels: Using a modified ATR-based calculation, the indicator plots five key levels (two resistance, one average, and two support) that adjust dynamically to market volatility. These levels serve as critical zones for potential reversals.
ICT Structure Analysis: The indicator incorporates BOS and MSS logic to detect shifts in market structure, plotting bullish and bearish breaks with customizable colors for clarity.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price crosses key levels while outside the SMA shadow, indicating potential reversal opportunities. The signals are visualized as small circles above (sell) or below (buy) the price bars, making them easy to interpret.
Mathematical Concepts
SMA Shadow: The indicator calculates the SMA of the highest highs and lowest lows over a user-defined period (default: 100). This creates a dynamic range that highlights extreme price movements, which contrarian traders often target for reversals.
Five Levels Calculation: The five levels are derived using a volatility-adjusted formula based on the Average True Range (ATR). The average level (central pivot) is calculated as a smoothed price, with two upper (resistance) and two lower (support) levels offset by a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 6.0). This adaptive approach ensures the levels remain relevant across varying market conditions.
ICT BOS/MSS Logic: The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows on a user-defined timeframe (default: daily) to detect structural breaks. A BOS occurs when the price breaks a prior pivot high (bullish) or low (bearish), while an MSS signals a shift in market direction, providing context for potential reversals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price is below both the SMA shadow (smaLow) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses under either the first or second support level (prS1 or prS2). This suggests the market may be oversold, indicating a potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price is above both the SMA shadow (smaHigh) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses over either the first or second resistance level (prR1 or prR2). This suggests the market may be overbought, indicating a potential reversal downward.
Recommended Usage
This indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it has been designed to capture significant reversal opportunities in trending or ranging markets. However, it can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with proper testing of settings such as SMA length, ATR multiplier, and structure timeframe. Users are encouraged to backtest and optimize parameters to suit their trading style and asset class.
Customization Options
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100) to control the sensitivity of the shadow.
Five Levels Length and Multiplier: Modify the length (default: 200) and ATR multiplier (default: 6.0) to fine-tune the support/resistance levels.
Timeframe Settings: Set separate timeframes for structure analysis and five levels to align with your trading strategy.
Color and Signal Display: Customize colors for BOS/MSS lines and toggle buy/sell signals on or off for a cleaner chart.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator combines the power of contrarian trading with dynamic levels and market structure analysis, offering a unique perspective for identifying high-probability reversal setups. Its intuitive design, customizable settings, and clear signal visualization make it suitable for both novice and experienced traders. Whether you're trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies, this indicator provides a robust framework for spotting potential turning points in the market.
We hope you find the "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator a valuable addition to your trading toolkit! Happy trading!

Universal Sentiment Oscillator with Trade RecommendationsUniversal Sentiment Oscillator & Strategy Guide
Summary
This all-in-one indicator is designed to be a comprehensive co-pilot for your trading journey. It moves beyond simple buy/sell signals by analyzing the underlying market sentiment and providing a dynamic, risk-assessed guide of potential trading strategies. Whether you're a novice learning the ropes or an expert seeking confirmation, this tool provides a structured framework for making smarter, more informed decisions in stocks, options, and futures.
How It Works
The core of the indicator is the Sentiment Oscillator, which calculates a score from -5 (Extremely Bearish) to +5 (Extremely Bullish) on every bar. This isn't just a single measurement; it's a weighted aggregate of several key technical conditions:
Trend Analysis: Price position relative to the 20, 50, and 200 EMAs.
Momentum Analysis: The current RSI value.
Hybrid Analysis: The state of the MACD and its signal line.
These factors are intelligently combined and normalized to produce a single, intuitive sentiment score, giving you an at-a-glance understanding of the market's pulse.
Core Features
Dynamic Trade Recommendation Table:
The informational heart of the indicator. This on-chart table provides a list of potential trades perfectly aligned with the current sentiment score.
Risk-Ranked Strategies:
All suggested trades are logically ordered by risk, helping you quickly identify strategies that match your comfort level.
Adjusted Trade Suggestions:
The indicator analyzes sentiment momentum (the score vs. its signal line) to provide proactive, forward-looking trade ideas based on where the market might be heading next.
Customizable Trading Styles:
Tell the indicator if you are a Conservative, Neutral, or Aggressive trader, and the "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" will automatically tailor its recommendations to your personal risk preference.
Context-Aware Futures Mode:
When viewing a futures contract, enable this mode to switch all recommendations from stock/options to futures-specific actions (e.g., "Cautious Long," "Monitor Range").
Predictive Sentiment Cone:
Visualize the potential short-term path of sentiment based on current momentum, helping you anticipate future conditions.
Fully Customizable:
Every parameter—from EMA lengths to trade filters—can be adjusted, allowing you to fine-tune the indicator to your exact specifications.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is flexible and can be integrated into many trading systems. Here is a powerful, professional approach:
Top-Down Analysis (for Swing or Position Trading):
Establish the Trend: Start on the higher timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily). Use the oscillator's color and score to define the dominant, long-term market sentiment. You only want to look for trades that align with this macro trend.
Refine the Entry: Drop down to the medium timeframes (4-Hour, 1-Hour). Wait for the sentiment on these charts to come into alignment with the higher-timeframe trend. This pullback or consolidation is your "zone of interest."
Pinpoint the Execution: Move to a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-Minute). Use the Adjusted Trade Suggestion and Sentiment Momentum to find a precise entry as momentum begins to shift back in the direction of the primary trend. You can set alerts on the oscillator's zero-line for early warnings of a sentiment shift.
As a Confirmation Tool: If you have an existing trade idea, use the indicator to validate it. Does the sentiment score align with your bullish or bearish thesis? Does the momentum confirm that now is a good time to enter?
As an Idea Generation Tool: Unsure what to trade? Browse different assets and let the indicator's "Primary Trades" and "Adjusted Trade Suggestion" present you with a list of risk-assessed ideas that you can then investigate further.
Disclaimer: This is an analysis tool and should not be considered financial advice. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Always perform your own due diligence and use this indicator as one component of a complete trading plan.
Share SizePurpose: The "Share Size" indicator is a powerful risk management tool designed to help traders quickly determine appropriate share/contract sizes based on their predefined risk per trade and the current market's volatility (measured by ATR). It calculates potential dollar differences from recent highs/lows and translates them into a recommended share/contract size, accounting for a user-defined ATR-based offset. This helps you maintain consistent risk exposure across different instruments and market conditions.
How It Works: At its core, the indicator aims to answer the question: "How many shares/contracts can I trade to keep my dollar risk within limits if my stop loss is placed at a recent high or low, plus an ATR-based buffer?"
Price Difference Calculation: It first calculates the dollar difference between the current close price and the high and low of the current bar (Now) and the previous 5 bars (1 to 5).
Tick Size & Value Conversion: These price differences are then converted into dollar values using the instrument's specific tickSize and tickValue. You can select common futures contracts (MNQ, MES, MGC, MCL), a generic "Stock" setting, or define custom values.
ATR Offset: An Average True Range (ATR) based offset is added to these dollar differences. This offset acts as a buffer, simulating a stop loss placed beyond the immediate high/low, accounting for market noise or volatility.
Risk-Based Share Size: Finally, using your Default Risk ($) input, the indicator calculates how many shares/contracts you can take for each of the 6 high/low scenarios (current bar, 5 previous bars) to ensure your dollar risk per trade remains constant.
Dynamic Table: All these calculations are presented in a clear, real-time table at the bottom-left of your chart. The table dynamically adjusts its "Label" to show the selected symbol preset, making it easy to see which instrument's settings are currently being used. The "Shares" rows indicate the maximum shares/contracts you can trade for a given risk and stop placement. The cells corresponding to the largest dollar difference (and thus smallest share size) for both high and low scenarios are highlighted, drawing your attention to the most conservative entry points.
Key Benefits:
Consistent Risk: Helps maintain a consistent dollar risk per trade, regardless of the instrument or its current price/volatility.
Dynamic Sizing: Automatically adjusts share/contract size based on market volatility and your chosen stop placement.
Quick Reference: Provides a real-time, easy-to-read table directly on your chart, eliminating manual calculations.
Informed Decision Making: Assists in quickly assessing trade opportunities and potential position sizes.
Setup Parameters (Inputs)
When you add the "Share Size" indicator to your chart, you'll see a settings dialog with the following parameters:
1. Symbol Preset:
Purpose: This is the primary setting to define the tick size and value for your chosen trading instrument.
Options:
MNQ (Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures)
MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500 Futures)
MGC (Micro Gold Futures)
MCL (Micro Crude Oil Futures)
Stock (Generic stock setting, with tick size/value of 0.01)
Custom (Allows you to manually input tick size and value)
Default: MNQ
Importance: Crucial for accurate dollar calculations. Ensure this matches the instrument you are trading.
2. Tick Size (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the smallest price increment for your instrument.
Type: Float
Default: 0.25
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. You might need to change display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want to see and adjust it directly in the settings for "Custom" mode.
3. Tick Value (Manual Override):
Purpose: Only used if Symbol Preset is set to Custom. This defines the dollar value of one tickSize increment.
Type: Float
Default: 0.50
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none) unless "Custom" is selected. Similar to Tick Size, you might need to adjust its display property if you want it visible.
4. Default Risk ($):
Purpose: This is your maximum desired dollar risk per trade. All share size calculations will be based on this value.
Type: Float
Default: 50.0
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none). It's a critical setting, so consider making it visible by changing display=display.none to display=display.inline in the code if you want users to easily adjust their risk.
ATR Offset Settings (Group): This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the ATR-based buffer added to your potential stop loss.
5. ATR Offset Length:
Purpose: Defines the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) calculation used for the offset.
Type: Integer
Default: 7
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
6. ATR Offset Timeframe:
Purpose: Specifies the timeframe on which the ATR for the offset will be calculated. This allows you to use ATR from a higher timeframe for your stop buffer, even if your chart is on a lower timeframe.
Type: Timeframe string (e.g., "1" for 1 minute, "60" for 1 hour, "D" for Daily)
Default: "1" (1 Minute)
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
7. ATR Offset Multiplier (x ATR):
Purpose: Multiplies the calculated ATR value to determine the final dollar offset added to your high/low price difference. A value of 1.0 means one full ATR is added. A value of 0.5 means half an ATR is added.
Type: Float
Minimum Value: 0 (no offset)
Default: 1.0
Hidden: This input is hidden (display=display.none).
Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.

EWMA Volatility EstimatorThis script calculates EWMA Volatility (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Volatility).
Commonly used model in financial risk management.
It estimates recent price volatility by applying more weight to the most recent returns, capturing volatility clustering while remaining responsive to fast market shifts.
The method uses a decay factor (λ) of 0.94, the standard value used in models like RiskMetrics, and converts the variance estimate into annualized volatility in percentage terms.
This is not a forecasting tool. It’s an estimator that reflects the magnitude of recent price moves in a statistically robust way.
It can be helpful for:
Understanding regime shifts in market behavior
Designing position sizing rules based on recent volatility
Filtering entries during high or low volatility phases
How It Works
Computes log returns of the closing price.
Squares the returns to get a proxy for variance.
Applies an exponential moving average to the squared returns using an equivalent EMA period based on λ = 0.94.
Converts the result to volatility by taking the square root and scaling to a percentage.
Key Characteristics
Backward-looking estimator
Reacts faster than standard rolling-window volatility
Smooths noise while still being sensitive to recent spikes

SMT DivergenceSMT Divergence Indicator
This powerful indicator identifies high-probability reversal points by detecting SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences between two correlated assets. It spots subtle shifts in market momentum, revealing when one asset fails to confirm the price action of another—often signaling an impending trend change.
Key Features:
Inter-Market Divergence Detection: Automatically compares the price action of the main symbol with a second user-defined asset.
Identifies Key Reversals: Pinpoints both bullish and bearish SMT divergences, highlighting hidden strength in downtrends and underlying weakness in uptrends.
Customizable Pivot Detection: Allows fine-tuning of the pivot length to adjust sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes.
Flexible Display Modes: Choose between clean 'Lines' connecting the diverging pivots or precise 'Labels' marking the exact high/low points.
Full Visual Customization: Complete control over the colors and line thickness for seamless integration with your existing chart layout.
Built-in Alerts: Stay notified of every potential opportunity with alerts for both bullish and bearish signals.
Settings:
Core Parameters:
Comparison Symbol: Select the second asset to compare against for divergence analysis (e.g., NQ1! if you are charting ES1!).
Pivot Length: Defines the number of bars to the left and right required to confirm a pivot high or low.
Visual Settings:
Display Style: Choose to visualize divergences as 'Lines' or 'Labels'.
Bearish/Bullish Color: Set custom colors for bearish and bullish divergence indicators.
Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the divergence lines for optimal visibility.
Perfect for traders who utilize inter-market analysis to confirm trade ideas. The SMT Divergence indicator provides a crucial edge by exposing non-confirmations between related assets, allowing for earlier and more confident entries into potential market reversals.
The Butterfly [theUltimator5]This is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Butterfly harmonic patterns based on recent market pivot structures. This indicator uses a unique plotting and detection algorithm to find and display valid Butterfly patterns on the chart.
The indicator works in real-time and historically by identifying major swing highs and lows (pivots) based on a user-defined ZigZag length. It then evaluates whether the most recent price structure conforms to the ideal proportions of a bullish or bearish Butterfly pattern. If the ratios between price legs XA, AB, BC, and projected CD meet defined tolerances, the pattern is plotted on the chart along with a projected D point for potential reversal.
Key Features:
Automatic Pivot Detection: The script analyzes recent price action to construct a ZigZag pattern, identifying swing points as potential X, A, B, and C coordinates.
Butterfly Pattern Validation: The pattern is validated against traditional Fibonacci ratios:
--AB should be approximately 78.6% of XA.
--BC must lie between 38.2% and 88.6% of AB.
--CD is projected as a multiple of BC, with user control over the ratio (e.g., 1.618–2.24).
Bullish and Bearish Recognition: The pattern logic detects both bullish and bearish Butterflies, automatically adjusting plotting direction and color themes.
Custom Ratio Tolerance: Users can define how strictly the AB/XA and BC/AB legs must adhere to ideal ratios, using a percentage-based tolerance slider.
Fallback Detection Logic: If a new pattern is not identified in recent bars, the script performs a backward search on the last four pivots to find the most recent valid pattern.
Force Mode: A toggle allows users to force the drawing of a Butterfly pattern on the most recent pivot structure, regardless of whether the ideal Fibonacci rules are satisfied.
Dynamic Visualization:
--Clear labeling of X, A, B, C, and D points.
--Colored connecting lines and filled triangles to visualize structure.
--Optional table displaying key Fibonacci ratios and how close each leg is to ideal values.
Inputs:
Length: Controls the sensitivity of the ZigZag pivots. Smaller values result in more frequent pivots.
Tolerance (%): Adjustable threshold for acceptable deviation in AB/XA and BC/AB ratios.
CD Length Multiplier: Projects point D by multiplying the BC leg using a value between 1.618 and 2.24.
Force New Pattern: Overrides validation checks to display a Butterfly structure on recent pivots regardless of ratio accuracy.
Show Table: Enables a table showing calculated ratios and deviations from the ideal.
Murrey Math Lines v6Murrey Math Lines v6
This is not just another Murrey Math indicator. It's a complete, ground-up modernization of the classic concept, rebuilt with the latest Pine Script features for unparalleled performance, accuracy, and usability. While preserving the core mathematical genius of T.H. Murrey's system, this version introduces a suite of modern tools designed for today's trader.
What are Murrey Math Lines?
Murrey Math Lines (MML) are a powerful system of support and resistance based on geometric formulas developed by T.H. Murrey. As a derivation of W.D. Gann's observations, Murrey's geometry simplifies Gann's theories into a more accessible application. The core principle is that price action tends to trend and retrace in 1/8th intervals.
These intervals create a "trading octave" with distinct levels, each having its own characteristic behavior:
& - Ultimate Resistance & Support: These lines are the hardest to break. They represent the top and bottom of the expected price range and are prime areas for reversals.
- Major Pivot: This is the most significant level, offering the strongest support and resistance within the octave. Price has a high probability of stopping and reversing here.
& - Strong Pivot/Reversal: These are strong, secondary pivot points where price often struggles to pass through.
& - The Trading Range: The price tends to consolidate between these two lines about 50% of the time. A decisive break outside this range often signals the start of a new trend.
& - Weak Support/Resistance: These levels are weaker, but when price moves too quickly towards them, they can act as initial stopping points or areas for a minor reversal.
& - Extended Octave: These lines show extreme overbought and oversold conditions beyond the primary 0/8 to 8/8 octave.
Modern Enhancements in This Version
Session-Locked Precision: Anchor the Murrey Lines to the start of a specific trading session (e.g., NYSE open). The levels remain constant for the entire session, providing a stable and reliable framework for your daily analysis.
Visual Trading & Reversal Zones: Instead of just lines, this indicator can fill the key trading range (3/8 to 5/8) and reversal zones (0/8-1/8 & 7/8-8/8) with color, giving you an instant visual reference of market sentiment.
Dynamic "Closest Price" Labels: Declutter your chart! The indicator can intelligently display only the label for the Murrey level closest to the current price, keeping your view clean while providing critical information at a glance.
Integrated Alert System: Never miss a key level touch again. Set up alerts for when the price approaches major lines, the trading range, or all lines, customized to your trading style.
Advanced Pine Script Engine: Built on a modern codebase using User-Defined Types and dynamic drawing objects (line, box, label). This ensures the indicator is fast, efficient, and non-repainting, even on lower timeframes.
Intuitive User Interface: Settings are neatly organized into collapsible groups with clear tooltips, making it incredibly easy to customize every aspect of the indicator, from calculation parameters to colors.
A Note on Accuracy
Some of the other Murrey Math indicators on TradingView use different formulas and therefore produce varying results. This version has been carefully checked against MML indicators on other professional platforms to ensure its calculations are accurate and reliable.

Normalized Volume & True RangeThis indicator solves a fundamental challenge that traders face when trying to analyze volume and volatility together on their charts. Traditionally, volume and price volatility exist on completely different scales, making direct comparison nearly impossible. Volume might range from thousands to millions of shares, while volatility percentages typically stay within single digits. This indicator brings both measurements onto a unified scale from 0 to 100 percent, allowing you to see their relationship clearly for the first time.
The core innovation lies in the normalization process, which automatically calculates appropriate scaling factors for both volume and volatility based on their historical statistical properties. Rather than using arbitrary fixed scales that might work for one stock but fail for another, this system adapts to each instrument's unique characteristics. The indicator establishes baseline averages for both measurements and then uses statistical analysis to determine reasonable maximum values, ensuring that extreme outliers don't distort the overall picture.
You can choose from three different volatility calculation methods depending on your analytical preferences. The "Body" option measures the distance between opening and closing prices, focusing on the actual trading range that matters most for price action. The "High/Low" method captures the full daily range including wicks and shadows, giving you a complete picture of intraday volatility. The "Close/Close" approach compares consecutive closing prices, which can be particularly useful for identifying gaps and overnight price movements.
The indicator displays volume as colored columns that match your candlestick colors, making it intuitive to see whether high volume occurred during up moves or down moves. Volatility appears as a gray histogram, providing a clean background reference that doesn't interfere with volume interpretation. Both measurements are clipped at 100 percent, which represents their calculated maximum normal values, so any readings near this level indicate unusually high activity in either volume or volatility.
The baseline reference line shows you what "normal" volume looks like for the current instrument, helping you quickly identify when trading activity is above or below average. Optional moving averages for both volume and volatility are available if you prefer smoothed trend analysis over raw daily values. The entire system updates in real-time as new data arrives, continuously refining its statistical calculations to maintain accuracy as market conditions evolve.
This two-in-one indicator provides a straightforward way to examine how price movements relate to trading volume by presenting both measurements on the same normalized scale, making it easier to spot patterns and relationships that might otherwise remain hidden when analyzing these metrics separately.
LRHA Trend Shift DetectorLRHA Trend Shift Detector (TSD)
The LRHA Trend Shift Detector is an advanced momentum exhaustion indicator that identifies potential trend reversals and changes by analyzing Linear Regression Heikin Ashi (LRHA) candle patterns. TSD focuses on detecting when strong directional moves begin to lose momentum.
🔬 Methodology
The indicator employs a three-stage detection process:
LRHA Calculation: Applies linear regression smoothing to Heikin Ashi candles, creating ultra-smooth trend-following candles that filter out market noise
Extended Move Detection: Identifies sustained directional moves by counting consecutive bullish or bearish LRHA candles
Momentum Exhaustion Analysis: Monitors for significant changes in candle size compared to recent averages
When an extended move shows clear signs of momentum exhaustion, the indicator signals a potential trend shift with red dots plotted above or below your candlesticks.
⚙️ Parameters
Core Settings
LRHA Length (11): Linear regression period for smoothing calculations. Lower values = more responsive, higher values = smoother trends.
Minimum Trend Bars (4): Consecutive candles required to establish an "extended move." Higher number detects longer term trend changes.
Exhaustion Bars (3): Number of consecutively smaller candles needed to signal exhaustion. Lower is more sensitive.
Size Reduction Threshold (40%): Percentage decrease in candle size to qualify as "exhaustion." Lower is more sensitive.
Trend Trading
Pullback Entries: Identify exhaustion in counter-trend moves for trend continuation
Exit Strategy: Recognize when main trend momentum is fading
Position Sizing: Reduce size when seeing exhaustion in your direction
🎛️ Optimization Tips
For More Signals (Aggressive)
- Decrease LRHA Length (7-9)
- Reduce Minimum Trend Bars (2-3)
- Lower Size Reduction Threshold (25-35%)
For Higher Quality (Conservative)
- Increase LRHA Length (13-18)
- Raise Minimum Trend Bars (5-6)
- Higher Size Reduction Threshold (45-55%)
⚠️ Important Notes⚠️
- **Not a Complete Strategy**: Use as confluence with other analysis methods
- **Market Context Matters**: Consider overall trend direction and key support/resistance levels
- **Risk Management Essential**: Always use proper position sizing and stop losses
- **Backtest First**: Optimize parameters for your specific trading style and instruments
VWAP %BVWAP %B - Volume Weighted Average Price Percent B
The VWAP %B indicator combines the reliability of VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) with the analytical power of %B oscillators, similar to Bollinger Bands %B but using volume-weighted statistics.
## How It Works
This indicator calculates where the current price sits relative to VWAP-based standard deviation bands, expressed as a percentage from 0 to 1:
• **VWAP Calculation**: Uses volume-weighted average price as the center line
• **Standard Deviation Bands**: Creates upper and lower bands using standard deviation around VWAP
• **%B Formula**: %B = (Price - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
## Key Levels & Interpretation
• **Above 1.0**: Price is trading above the upper VWAP band (strong bullish momentum)
• **0.8 - 1.0**: Overbought territory, potential resistance
• **0.5**: Price exactly at VWAP (equilibrium)
• **0.2 - 0.0**: Oversold territory, potential support
• **Below 0.0**: Price is trading below the lower VWAP band (strong bearish momentum)
## Trading Applications
**Trend Following**: During strong trends, breaks above 1.0 or below 0.0 often signal continuation rather than reversal.
**Mean Reversion**: In ranging markets, extreme readings (>0.8 or <0.2) may indicate potential reversal points.
**Volume Context**: Unlike traditional %B, this incorporates volume weighting, making it more reliable during high-volume periods.
## Parameters
• **Length (20)**: Period for standard deviation calculation
• **Standard Deviation Multiplier (2.0)**: Controls band width
• **Source (close)**: Price input for calculations
## Visual Features
• Reference lines at key levels (0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0)
• Background highlighting for extreme breaks
• Real-time values table
• Clean oscillator format below price chart
Perfect for intraday traders and swing traders who want to combine volume analysis with momentum oscillators.
