[BoTo] ATH/2 OverlayThan this indicator is useful?
Can help you to understand this indicator who main in the market now. Bulls or bears.
How it works
All-Time-High ('ATH') - the highest point in price that a cryptocurrency has been in history.
Step 1: The 'ATH' line is drawn
Step 2: 'ATH/2' line is drawn.
Step 3: If the price became more than 'ATH' it means the market bulls have taken, and the price it will be more probable to increase. And vice versa. If the price became less than 'ATH/2' it means that the market was taken by bears, and the price it will be more probable to fall.
Step 4: If it is the bull market, then the green background is drawn. And vice versa. If it is the bear market, then the red background is drawn. If the market has changed, then the background will be gray color. Only one candle.
How to use it
It is possible to use any timeframes, and any symbol.
It is possible to use chart type only the japanese candles, the line or bars. Don't use Kagi, Renko or Haiken Ashi!
The background can be not shown. You can make 1 or 2 lines. If you have chosen only 1 line, then in the bull market you will see only 'ATH/2' line. And vice versa. In the bear market you will see only the 'ATH' line.
You need just to turn on this indicator once to understand what to wait in this market, big falling or big rockets for. And to switch off it that he didn't prevent to analyze.
It is the good help for long-term investments (the position can be longer than 1 year)

Bill Williams Divergent BarsBill William Bull/Bear divergent bars
See: Book, Trading Chaos by Bill Williams
Coded by polyclick
A bullish (green) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bear -> bull
-> The current bar has a lower low than the previous bar, but closes in the upper half of the candle.
-> This means the bulls are pushing from below and are trying to take over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bullish.
-> We also check if this bar is below the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.
A bearish (red) divergent bar, signals a trend switch from bull -> bear
-> The current bar has a higher high than the previous bar, but closes in the lower half of the candle.
-> This means the bears are pushing the price down and are taking over, potentially resulting in a trend switch to bearish.
-> We also check if this bar is above the three alligator lines to avoid false positives.
Best used in combination with the Bill Williams Alligator indicator.
CRR SELL BOX MICROWhat it analyzes
Multi-TF:
1m, 5m, 15m, 30m (tf1–tf4).
In each timeframe it looks at:
EMA 15 / 30 / 200 → trend.
MACD → momentum.
RSI → strength.
From this it derives:
t1, t2, t3, t4 = +1 bullish, -1 bearish, 0 neutral.
A bearScore = how many TFs are bearish → multiTfBear.
Volatility / momentum:
ATR in pips (atrPips) → checks for sufficient movement (sufAtr).
1m candlestick body in pips → momentumBear1
(large bearish candle + MACD bearish + RSI bearish).
Strong downward candle in ticks (bigDrop) → type of large vertical red candle.
Global sensitivity:
Mode: Normal / High / Turbo
Automatically adjusts:
Minimum drop in ticks,
Minimum candlestick body,
Minimum ATR.
2️⃣ Main Sell Signal
SELL WITHOUT PULLBACK 1m
sellNoPull:
EMA 15 < EMA 30 < EMA 200 (strong bearish trend 1m),
MACD crosses bearish,
Price below EMA30 1m.
Multi-TF Bear
multiTfBear:
Normal Mode: 1m bearish and 5m–15m–30m not bullish,
High/Turbo Mode: at least 2 bearish TFs (bearScore >= 2).
Final condition (what triggers the setup)
Conservative:
condSellConservative = sellNoPull + multiTfBear + sufAtr + momentumBear1
Aggressive:
condSellAggressive = (t1 == -1 or bigDrop) + 15m not bullish + sufAtr

[CT] ATR Ratio MTFThis indicator is an enhanced, multi-timeframe version of the original “ATR ratio” by RafaelZioni. Huge thanks to RafaelZioni for the core concept and base logic. The script still combines an ATR-based ratio (Z-score style reading of where price sits within its recent ATR envelope) with an ATR Supertrend, but expands it into a more flexible trade-decision and visual context tool.
The ATR ratio is normalized so you can quickly see when price is pressing into extended bullish or bearish territory, while the Supertrend defines directional bias and a dynamic support-resistance trail. You can choose any higher timeframe in the settings, allowing you to run the ATR ratio and Supertrend from a larger anchor timeframe while trading on a lower chart.
Upgrades include a full Pine Script v6 rewrite, multi-timeframe support for both the ATR ratio and Supertrend, user-controlled colors for the Supertrend in bull and bear modes, and optional bar coloring so price bars automatically reflect Supertrend direction. Entry, pyramiding and take-profit logic from the original script are preserved, giving you a familiar framework with more control over timeframe, visuals and trend bias.
This indicator is designed to give you a clean directional framework that blends volatility, trend, and timing into one view. The ATR ratio side of the script shows you where price sits inside a recent ATR-based envelope. When the ATR ratio pushes up and sustains above the bullish threshold, it signals that price is trading in an extended, momentum-driven zone relative to recent volatility. When it drops and holds below the bearish threshold, it shows the opposite: sellers have pushed price down into an extended bearish zone. The optional background coloring simply makes these bullish and bearish environments easier to see at a glance.
On top of that, the Supertrend and bar colors tell you what side of the market to favor. The Supertrend is calculated from ATR on whatever timeframe you choose in the settings. If you set the MTF input to a higher timeframe, the Supertrend and ATR ratio become your higher time frame bias while you trade on a lower chart. When price is above the MTF Supertrend, the line uses your bullish color and, if bar coloring is enabled, candles adopt your bullish bar color. That is your “long only” environment: you generally look for buys when price is above the Supertrend and the ATR ratio is either turning up from neutral or already in a bullish zone. When price is below the MTF Supertrend, the line uses your bearish color and candles can shift to your bearish bar color; that is where you focus on shorts, especially when the ATR ratio is rolling over or holding in the bearish zone.
The built-in long and short conditions are meant as signal prompts, not rigid rules. Long signals fire when the ATR ratio crosses up through a positive level while the Supertrend is bullish. Short signals fire when the ATR ratio crosses down through a negative level while the Supertrend is bearish. The script tracks how many longs or shorts have been taken in sequence (pyramiding) and will only allow a new signal up to the limit you set, so you can control how aggressively you stack positions in a trend. The take-profit logic then watches the percentage move from your last entry and flags “TP” when that move has reached your take-profit percent, helping you standardize exits instead of eyeballing them bar by bar.
In practice you typically start by choosing your anchor timeframe for the MTF setting, for example a 1-hour or 4-hour Supertrend and ATR ratio while watching a 5-minute or 15-minute chart. You then use the Supertrend direction and bar colors as your bias filter, only taking signals in the direction of the trend, and you use the ATR ratio behavior to judge whether you are entering into strength, fading an extreme, or trading inside a neutral consolidation. Over time this gives you a consistent way to answer three questions on every chart: which side am I allowed to trade, how extended is price within its recent volatility, and where are my structured entries and exits based on that framework.

Smart RSI Composite [DotGain]Summary
Do you want to know the "True Direction" of the market without getting distracted by noise on a single timeframe?
The Smart RSI Composite simplifies market analysis by aggregating momentum data from 10 different timeframes (5m to 12M) into a single, easy-to-read Histogram.
Instead of looking at 10 separate charts or dots, this indicator calculates the Average RSI of the entire market structure. It answers one simple question: "Is the market predominantly Bullish or Bearish right now?"
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
This indicator works like a consensus mechanism for momentum:
Data Aggregation: It pulls RSI values from 10 customizable slots (Default: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 12M). All slots are enabled by default.
Smart Averaging: It calculates the arithmetic mean of all active timeframes. If the 5m chart is bearish but the Monthly chart is bullish, this indicator balances them out to show you the net result.
Histogram Visualization: The result is plotted as a histogram centered around the 50-line (Neutral).
🚦 How to Read the Histogram
The histogram bars indicate the aggregate strength of the trend based on the Average RSI:
🟩 DARK GREEN (Strong Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI > 60.
Meaning: The market is in a strong uptrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the buyers' side.
🟢 LIGHT GREEN (Weak Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI between 50 and 60.
Meaning: Slight bullish bias. The bulls are in control, but momentum is not yet extreme.
🔴 LIGHT RED (Weak Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI between 40 and 50.
Meaning: Slight bearish bias. The bears are taking control.
🟥 DARK RED (Strong Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI < 40.
Meaning: The market is in a strong downtrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the sellers' side.
Visual Elements
Center Line (50): This acts as the Zero-Line. Above 50 is bullish, below 50 is bearish.
Zone Lines (30/70): Dashed lines indicate the traditional Overbought/Oversold levels applied to the aggregate average.
Key Benefit
The Smart RSI Composite acts as a powerful Macro Trend Filter .
Pro Tip: Never go long if the Histogram is Dark Red, and avoid shorting when it is Dark Green. Use this tool to align your trades with the overall market momentum.
Have fun :)

Super momentum DBSISuper momentum DBSI: The Ultimate Guide
1. What is this Indicator?
The Super momentum DBSI is a "Consensus Engine." Instead of relying on a single line (like an RSI) to tell you where the market is going, this tool calculates 33 distinct technical indicators simultaneously for every single candle.
It treats the market like a democracy. It asks 33 mathematical "voters" (Momentum, Trend, Volume, Volatility) if they are Bullish or Bearish.
If 30 out of 33 say "Buy," the score is high (Yellow), and the trend is extremely strong.
If only 15 say "Buy," the score is low (Teal), and the trend is weak or choppy.
2. Visual Guide: How to Read the Numbers
The Scores
Top Number (Bears): Represents Selling Pressure.
Bottom Number (Bulls): Represents Buying Pressure.
The Colors (The Traffic Lights)
The colors are your primary signal. They tell you who is currently winning the war.
🟡 YELLOW (Dominance):
This indicates the Winning Side.
If the Bottom Number is Yellow, Bulls are in control.
If the Top Number is Yellow, Bears are in control.
🔴 RED (Weakness):
This appears on the Top. It means Bears are present but losing.
🔵 TEAL (Weakness):
This appears on the Bottom. It means Bulls are present but losing.
3. Trading Strategy
Scenario A: The "Strong Buy" (Long Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for a shift in momentum where Buyers overwhelm Sellers.
Watch the Bottom Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising (e.g., 12 → 18 → 22).
Check the Top: The Top Number should be Red and low (below 10).
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario B: The "Strong Sell" (Short Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for Sellers to crush the Buyers.
Watch the Top Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising.
Check the Bottom: The Bottom Number should be Teal and low.
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario C: The "No Trade Zone" (Choppy Market)
The Setup: The market is confused.
Visual: Top is Red, Bottom is Teal.
Meaning: NOBODY IS WINNING. There is no Yellow number.
Action: Do not trade. This usually happens during lunch hours, weekends, or right before big news. This filter alone will save you from many false breakouts.

Use Higher Timeframes: This indicator works best on 15m, 1H, and 4H charts. On the 1m chart, it may be too volatile.
Directional Imbalance Index [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Directional Imbalance Index is designed to track market strength by counting how often price sets new highs or lows over a defined lookback period. Every time a bar forms a new extreme, the indicator records a +1 count for either bullish (highs) or bearish (lows). These counts are aggregated into a rolling calculation, allowing traders to see which side dominates and how directional imbalance evolves.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Each new highest high → adds a bullish count (+1).
Each new lowest low → adds a bearish count (+1).
Counts are stored inside arrays over a user-defined Calculation Period .
for i = 0 to period-1
h = high
l = low
if h == upper
countUp.push(1)
if l == lower
countDn.push(1)
The balance between bullish and bearish counts highlights dominance and imbalance.
Normalized percentages help compare both sides (e.g., 65% bullish vs 35% bearish).
🔵 FEATURES
Counts new highs/lows over a chosen Highest/Lowest Length .
Aggregates values over a rolling Calculation Period .
Plots cumulative bullish vs bearish totals in the subchart.
Displays % share of bulls vs bears from total counts.
On-chart labels mark bars where a count was added.
Plots reference lines of the current upper (high) and lower (low) ranges.
Dynamic fill between bullish/bearish plots to visualize which side dominates.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for persistent bullish imbalance (bull % > bear %) as confirmation of upward momentum.
Look for persistent bearish imbalance (bear % > bull %) as confirmation of downward momentum.
Watch for shifts in % dominance — often early signs of trend reversal or weakening strength.
Use labels on the chart to visually confirm which bars contributed to directional bias.
Combine with trend or volume tools to confirm whether imbalance aligns with market direction.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Directional Imbalance Index offers a systematic way to measure directional pressure. By counting how often price pushes into new territory, the indicator reveals whether bulls or bears are taking control. This makes it a valuable tool for detecting early signs of trend continuation or exhaustion, helping traders align with the side most likely to dominate.
ICS🏛️ Institutional Confluence Suite (ICS) Indicator
The Institutional Confluence Suite is a powerful and highly customizable TradingView indicator built to help traders identify key institutional trading concepts across multiple timeframes. It visualizes essential market components like Market Structures (MS), Order Blocks (OB)/Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Zones, and Volume Profile, providing a confluence of institutional price action data.
📈 Key Features & Components
1. Market Structures (MS)
Purpose: Automatically identifies and labels shifts in market trends (Market Structure Shift, MSS) and continuations (Break of Structure, BOS).
Timeframe Detection: You can select detection across Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings to match your trading horizon.
Visualization: Plots colored lines (Bullish: Teal, Bearish: Red) to mark the structures and optional text labels (BOS/MSS) for clear identification.
2. Order & Breaker Blocks (OB/BB)
Purpose: Detects and projects potential Supply and Demand zones based on recent price action that led to a swing high or low.
Block Types: Distinguishes between standard Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks (OBs that fail to hold and are traded through, often serving as support/resistance in the opposite direction).
Customization:
Detection Term: Adjusts sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Display Limit: Sets the maximum number of recent Bullish and Bearish blocks to display.
Price Reference: Option to use the Candle Body (Open/Close) or Candle Wicks (High/Low) to define the block boundaries.
Visualization: Displays blocks as colored boxes (Bullish: Green, Bearish: Red) extending into the future, with a dotted line marking the 50% equilibrium level. Breaker Blocks are indicated by a change in color/line style upon being broken.
3. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL)
Purpose: Highlights areas where retail stops/limit orders are likely clustered, often represented by a series of relatively equal highs (Buyside Liquidity) or lows (Sellside Liquidity).
Detection Term: Adjustable sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Margin: Uses a margin (derived from ATR) to group similar swing points into a single liquidity zone.
Visualization: Plots a line and text label marking the swing point, and a box indicating the clustered liquidity zone.
4. Liquidity Voids (LV) / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Purpose: Identifies areas where price moved sharply and inefficiency was created, often referred to as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances. These are price ranges where minimal trading volume occurred.
Threshold: Uses a multiplier applied to the 200-period ATR to filter for significant gaps.
Mode: Can be set to Present (only show voids near the current price) or Historical (show all detected voids).
Visualization: Fills the price gap with colored boxes (Bullish/Bearish zones), often segmented to represent the price delivery across the gap.
5. Enhanced Liquidity Detection
Purpose: A complementary feature that uses volume and price action to highlight areas of high liquidity turnover, potentially indicating stronger Support and Resistance zones.
Calculation: Utilizes a volume-weighted approach to color-grade liquidity zones based on their significance.
Visualization: Plots shaded boxes (gradient-colored) around swing highs/lows, with text displaying the normalized volume strength.
6. Swing Highs/Lows
Purpose: Directly marks the price points identified as Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the lookback periods.
Timeframe Detection: Can be enabled for Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings.
Visualization: Plots a small colored dot/label (e.g., "⦁") at the swing point.
This indicator is an invaluable tool for traders employing ICT (Inner Circle Trader), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), or general price action strategies, as it automatically aggregates and displays these critical structural and liquidity elements.
Trend Strength IndicatorThis is a Trend Strength Indicator that shows you the immediate trend and historical trend of price for up to 7 higher timeframes.
It shows the strength of each timeframe by showing a red or green dot based on where price is at compared to the previous higher timeframe candle. The brighter red or green the dot is, the stronger the trend is compared to that higher timeframe candle.
The colors and timeframes can be customized to suit your preference and you can also turn off as many timeframes as you’d like if you want less time frames to show up on the indicator.
It also includes alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or all timeframes are bearish.
Keep these timeframes set to higher time frames than your chart so you can trade in the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend.
Bullish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is above the midline of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 1 and a dark green dot. If the current candle close is above the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of 2 and a medium green dot. If the current candle close is above the high of the higher time frame candle, it is given a score of 3 and a bright green dot.
The higher the score the stronger the bullish trend and the brighter green the dot will be.
Bearish Scoring & Colors
If the current candle close is below the midline of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -1 and a dark red dot. If the current candle close is below the higher timeframe candle body, then it is given a score of -2 and a medium red dot. If the current candle close is below the low of the higher timeframe candle, it is given a score of -3 and a bright red dot.
The lower the score, the stronger the bearish trend and the brighter red the dot will be.
Trend Scoring Modes
We gave you the option to set the trend scoring mode to either score based on price above or below the midline for quick and easy trend identification, or using the midline, candle body and highs and lows to give you a more detailed view of the trend strength. You can switch between these modes by selecting your preferred mode in the settings panel. The default is Open, High, Low, Close + Midline.
Sending Trend Direction To External Indicators
We coded in the ability to use the trend strength score as a signal that you can use to filter other indicators. This feature is great for notifying signal generating indicators what direction the market is trending in so that the signal generating indicator only gives signals in the direction of the trend.
This feature works by providing a data output of 1, 0 or -1. 1 means the trend is bullish, 0 means the trend is neutral and -1 means the trend is bearish.
This score is calculated by using the score of each timeframe that is turned on and checking if all timeframes are in the same direction or not. So if 3 timeframes are turned on and they are all bullish, the indicator will provide a data output of 1. This tells your external indicators that the trend is bullish.
This data output can be found in the data window and is labeled Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators.
At the bottom of the settings panel, there is a setting called Trend Score Threshold For External Indicators. This setting is the score threshold that all timeframes will need to meet to allow a trend strength signal to go through. So if set to 1, then all timeframes must be scored 1 or higher for bullish or -1 or lower for bearish. If set to 2, then all timeframes must be 2 or higher for bullish or -2 or lower for bearish. If set to 3, then all timeframes must be 3 for bullish or -3 for bearish. If all timeframes have met this threshold, then a bullish or bearish signal can be sent to your external indicator as a trend filter.
Labels
There are labels to the right of each row of dots, telling you which timeframe is which so you can easily identify what timeframe each row is showing the trend for.
Alerts
You can set alerts for when all timeframes are bullish or when all timeframes are bearish. If you have some time frames turned off at the time of creating your alerts, then it will only require all timeframes that are on to be all bullish or bearish to generate an alert. Make sure to set your alerts to once per bar close to ensure you don’t get premature alerts that aren’t yet valid.
Backtesting
This indicator helps you quickly identify and backtest the trend direction, how strong that trend is on multiple timeframes and helps you spot reversals and trend continuations. Make sure you look back at a lot of historical data to see how price moves when trend changes take place and how well price continues in each direction compared to the overall trend. This will help you gain confidence in reading the indicator and using it to your advantage when trading.
Best Way To Use The Indicator
This indicator is designed to help you quickly identify the trend on various different timeframes. The brighter the green dots are, the stronger the bullish trend is. The brighter the red dots are, the stronger the bearish trend is.
Trade in the direction of the trend. If the colors are mixed green and red, then price is likely to chop back and forth, so only trade the extremes of the ranges when that happens.
When most of the lower timeframe dots are the same color, that means it is a strong trend and you should place trades in the direction of the trend to be safe. The lower timeframes will start trending before the higher timeframes, so take notice of the lower timeframe colors starting to agree with each other and then take advantage of the trend that is forming.
You can also spot reversals with this indicator by watching for the lower timeframes to start changing color after a strong trend in one direction. The lower timeframes will start to change color one by one, indicating that the trend is actually changing direction.
For best results, make sure you wait for the trend to show all bullish or all bearish at the same time before you place any trades. If you can be patient enough to do that, you will increase the probability of winning your trade because you are trading with the direction of the overall higher timeframe trend which is typically an easy way to win more trades. Of course wait for pullbacks during the trend so you can keep a tight stop loss after entering your trade.
If you are scalping, you can turn off the higher timeframes and just use the 1 hour through 1 day. This won’t be as reliable as using all timeframes and waiting for them to align, but it is suitable for scalping quick intraday movements.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Higher Timeframe Candle Levels indicator so you can see all of these levels being used to calculate the trend strength scores and watch how price reacts to those levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work all together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
BK AK-13⚔️ BK AK-13 — The Mentor’s 13. Revealed on 11. Command the Band. Punish the Extremes. ⚔️
This is my 11th release—and that matters. 11 is a sacred number to me, so for release eleven I’m doing something I never planned to do: I’m putting my mentor’s secret 13 MA into the open.
For years, this 13-based MA framework was part of our private playbook—quietly doing work behind the scenes. Now I’m handing it to you fully armed, because I believe in karma in, karma out: I took years of wisdom from the market. I took years of wisdom from the men who taught me. This is one of the ways I give back—with structure, respect, and intent.
🎖 Full Credit — Respect the Origin
The core architecture of BK AK-13 is not mine. It stands firmly on the work of DZIV.
What comes from DZIV:
The Heikin Ashi MA engine (MA calculated on HA Open/High/Low/Close)
The multi-MA engine on the HA feed (ALMA / HMA / SMA / RMA / VWMA / WMA / ZLEMA / EMA)
The Body / Wick / Band zone classification for price
The dynamic body & wick clouds that give this structure its clean visual form
If this framework changes the way you see trend and price location, remember the name: DZIV.
On top of his backbone, I forged the BK AK-13 enhancement layer: trend-strength regimes, background modes, structured band-reversal arrows, momentum acceleration dots, extreme pivot markers, historical band-touch rails, the info panel, and a complete alert suite.
And as always, the “AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K. His secret 13 MA is the spine of this system, and his obsession with clarity, patience, and zero shortcuts sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 Why “BK AK-13”?
BK — my mark, the house I’m building.
AK — my mentor, the standard I’m still chasing.
13 — his secret moving average, the length that quietly shaped how I see trend, location, and pressure.
For years, 13 stayed off the public record—used, not discussed. Now, on indicator number 11, I’m putting that weapon in the open: 11th release. Sacred number. Secret 13 revealed, not for hype—but as karmic give-back. Karma in. Karma out.
🧱 What BK AK-13 Actually Is
BK AK-13 is a Heikin Ashi MA battle band with a brain and a conscience.
It does three big things:
Builds a smoothed HA-MA band using Heikin Ashi OHLC to create a cleaner, truer band around price.
Maps price into zones: Body, Upper Wick, Lower Wick, Above Band, Below Band—so every bar has a role.
Assigns a trend regime by computing a normalized trend-strength %, classifying the environment as Weak / Normal / Strong / Extreme.
You’re never guessing: Is this real trend or just drift? Am I in the spine, the wick, or off the rails? Is this where I press, fade, or stand down? The band, zones, and regimes answer that for you.
🎨 Visual Architecture — Band, Clouds, Regimes
Body & Wick Clouds (DZIV’s craft)
Body cloud between HA-MA Open & Close.
Wick clouds between body and HA-MA High/Low.
Color follows trend: bull, bear, or neutral.
You’re not decoding noisy candles—you’re reading the spine and skin of the move.
Background Regime Modes (BK layer)
Standard – background always on, soft trend-follow color.
Hybrid (Extreme + Breaks) – lights only on extreme trend states or reversal break events.
Hybrid (Strong/Extreme + Breaks) – shows strong & extreme regimes, darker tone on true extremes.
Breaks Only – background flashes only on reversal arrows.
When the background goes quiet, you’re in ordinary flow. When it lights up, something is strategic, not cosmetic.
🎯 Weapons Inside BK AK-13
⭐ Trend Change Stars
Stars appear when the internal band trend crosses zero: bull star when it flips negative → positive, bear star from positive → negative. They’re your pivot flags for swing shifts when aligned with your higher timeframe bias.
🔁 Band Reversal Arrows — Edge Flip Logic
Not every band tap—only structured reversals:
Reversal Down (short idea): first a break of the upper band, then later, for the first time, a break of the lower band.
Reversal Up (long idea): first a break of the lower band, then later, for the first time, a break of the upper band.
You can require a close outside the band and set a minimum break distance (% of band range) so only real punches count. These arrows mark campaign flips, not noise.
💡 Momentum Acceleration Dots
In strong trend regimes only:
Green dot = trend accelerating in its own direction (uptrend steepening, downtrend deepening).
Red dot = trend decelerating, even if direction hasn’t flipped yet.
They protect you from chasing late when the engine is dying and from staying stubborn when momentum is bleeding out.
⚠ Extreme Pivot Markers
Pivot highs/lows are found with a configurable lookback and only marked when trend strength at that pivot bar is above your threshold. You’ll see ⚠ above likely exhaustion tops in strong bulls and ⚠ below likely exhaustion lows in strong bears—perfect for final scale-outs, countertrend scouts, and knowing where campaigns commonly run out of blood.
📏 Historical Band-Touch Rails
Over your lookback window, BK AK-13 tracks the highest upper band touch and lowest lower band touch, drawing them as dashed rails. They’re dynamic SR built from real band extremes—ideal for trend targets, fade zones, and stop/scale-out context.
🧭 Info Panel — On-Chart War Room
The Info Panel compresses everything into a single strip: direction + strength codes (BULL STR, BEAR EXT, NEUT WEAK), four segments that brighten as |trend| climbs from weak → normal → strong → extreme, and a zone + deviation label (BDY/UW/LW/AB/BL × OK/AL/EX).
Hover and you get a full tactical brief: trend, momentum change, acceleration, band levels, distances to upper/lower/nearest band in ticks, outer-band streaks, strategic state, plus “Action” guidance and a “What-if” forward scenario. It doesn’t just tell you where you are—it pushes you toward a structured thought process on each bar.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-13 with Intent
1️⃣ Trend-Rider Mode
In Strong/Extreme bull with price in Body or Lower Wick: buy dips into the band (mid/lower) instead of chasing tops; target the upper band / upper rail while structure holds.
In Strong/Extreme bear with price in Body or Upper Wick: sell rallies into the band; target lower band / lower rail while acceleration stays healthy.
The band defines where you’re allowed to do business.
2️⃣ Extreme Snapback Hunter
Prime conditions: trend tagged Extreme, price pressed into the outer band in trend direction, strategic state lit + Hybrid background active. That’s where pressing fresh risk often flips from reward to punishment. Use it to stop adding, start harvesting, or launch controlled mean-reversion probes back to the midline—if your system and risk rules allow it.
3️⃣ Exhaustion & Turn Zones
Watch for confluence: red momentum dots, extreme pivot ⚠ markers, a reversal arrow, and a nearby historical rail or your own key level (Fibs, VWAP, volume structure, etc.). That’s where campaigns often end, traps are set, and new campaigns begin.
🔔 Alerts — The Chart Calls You
Included alerts: Bullish/Bearish Trend Change, Strategic Extreme at Outer Band, Reversal Up/Down, Extreme Pivot High/Low, and Body Zone Entry during Strong Trend. Use them so you respond to events, not impulses.
🔧 Tuning the Extremes — Help Me Perfect the Advanced Side
The extreme thresholds and advanced features are powerful but sensitive, and there is no single perfect universal setting. I’m still tuning them myself across instruments and timeframes: strong/extreme trend thresholds, extreme background thresholds, momentum acceleration threshold, pivot lookback + pivot trend filter, band-touch lookback, and minimum break distance for reversals.
Different markets and timeframes breathe differently.
If you find killer settings for a specific symbol + timeframe, please share:

A few charts showing why they work
Experiment. Dial it in. Then share your best settings for the extremes and advanced features. Let this become a crowd-forged battle manual: I gave you the engine, you tune it to your battleground, and we all benefit from what’s discovered in live fire. Karma in. Karma out.
🤝 Pay It Forward
If BK AK-13 sharpens your read, don’t just flex screenshots—teach structure. Show newer traders body vs wick vs edge. Talk about when you didn’t take a trade because the band said “danger,” not just the wins. Share your settings, charts, and lessons—especially around the extremes and advanced modules. I’m sharing a mentor’s secret on release 11 for a reason. If it blesses you, don’t let it stop with you.
📜 King Solomon’s Lens
King Solomon said: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”
BK AK-13 is built exactly around that dividing line: the simple chase candles at the outer band in extreme regimes and get punished; the prudent see danger in the structure, hide their size, hedge, or reverse with intent.
This indicator won’t make you prudent. It just removes your excuse for being simple.
⚔️ BK AK-13 — The mentor’s secret 13, revealed on 11. Let the band define the field. Let wisdom define your strike.
May Gd bless your eyes, your patience, your settings, and every decision you make at the edge. 🙏

EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This indicator combines established trading concepts:
- Opening Range Breakout theory (price action)
- Liquidity level detection (pivot analysis)
- Session-based trading (time-of-day patterns)
- Volume analysis (confirmation technique)
- Multi-timeframe analysis (trend alignment)
All calculations use standard technical analysis methods:
- Pivot high/low detection algorithms
- Moving averages for trend and volume
- Session time filtering
- Timeframe security functions
The indicator identifies potential trading setups but does not predict future price movements. Success requires proper application within a complete trading strategy including risk management, position sizing, and market context.
───────────────────────────────────────
USAGE DISCLAIMER
───────────────────────────────────────
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes. Opening Range Breakout trading involves substantial risk. The alert system and quality filters are designed to identify potential setups but do not guarantee profitability. Always conduct independent analysis, use proper risk management, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance does not indicate future results. Trading intraday breakouts requires experience and discipline.

FVG MagicFVG Magic — Fair Value Gaps with Smart Mitigation, Inversion & Auto-Clean-up
FVG Magic finds every tradable Fair Value Gap (FVG), shows who powered it, and then manages each gap intelligently as price interacts with it—so your chart stays actionable and clean.
Attribution
This tool is inspired by the idea popularized in “Volumatic Fair Value Gaps ” by BigBeluga (licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Credit to BigBeluga for advancing FVG visualization in the community.
Important: This is a from-scratch implementation—no code was copied from the original. I expanded the concept substantially with a different detection stack, a gap state machine (ACTIVE → 50% SQ → MITIGATED → INVERSED), auto-clean up rules, lookback/nearest-per-side pruning, zoom-proof volume meters, and timeframe auto-tuning for 15m/H1/H4.
What makes this version more accurate
Full-coverage detection (no “missed” gaps)
Default ICT-minimal rule (Bullish: low > high , Bearish: high < low ) catches all valid 3-candle FVGs.
Optional Strict filter (stricter structure checks) for traders who prefer only “clean” gaps.
Optional size percentile filter—off by default so nothing is hidden unless you choose to filter.
Correct handling of confirmations (wick vs close)
Mitigation Source is user-selectable: high/low (wick-based) or close (strict).
This avoids false “misses” when you expect wick confirmations (50% or full fill) but your logic required closes.
State-aware labelling to prevent misleading data
The Bull%/Bear% meter is shown only while a gap is ACTIVE.
As soon as a gap is 50% SQ, MITIGATED, or INVERSED, the meter is hidden and replaced with a clear tag—so you never read stale participation stats.
Robust zoom behaviour
The meter uses a fixed bar-width (not pixels), so it stays proportional and readable at any zoom level.
Deterministic lifecycle (no stale boxes)
Remove on 50% SQ (instant or delayed).
Inversion window after first entry: if price enters but doesn’t invert within N bars, the box auto-removes once fully filled.
Inversion clean up: after a confirmed flip, keep for N bars (context) then delete (or 0 = immediate).
Result: charts auto-maintain themselves and never “lie” about relevance.
Clarity near current price
Nearest-per-side (keep N closest bullish & bearish gaps by distance to the midpoint) focuses attention where it matters without altering detection accuracy.
Lookback (bars) ensures reproducible behaviour across accounts with different data history.
Timeframe-aware defaults
Sensible auto-tuning for 15m / H1 / H4 (right-extension length, meter width, inversion windows, clean up bars) to reduce setup friction and improve consistency.
What it does (under the hood)
Detects FVGs using ICT-minimal (default) or a stricter rule.
Samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe to split participation into Bull % / Bear % (sum = 100%).
Manages each gap through a state machine:
ACTIVE → 50% SQ (midline) → MITIGATED (full) → INVERSED (SR flip after fill).
Auto-clean up keeps only relevant levels, per your rules.
Dashboard (top-right) displays counts by side and the active state tags.
How to use it
First run (show everything)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF
Mitigation Source: high/low (wick-based) or close (stricter), as you prefer.
Remove on 50% SQ: ON, Delay: 0
Read the context
While ACTIVE, use the Bull%/Bear% meter to gauge demand/supply behind the impulse that created the gap.
Confluence with your HTF structure, sessions, VWAP, OB/FVG, RSI/MACD, etc.
Trade interactions
50% SQ: often the highest-quality interaction; if removal is ON, the box clears = “job done.”
Full mitigation then rejection through the other side → tag changes to INVERSED (acts like SR). Keep for N bars, then auto-remove.
Keep the chart tidy (optional)
If too busy, enable Size Filter or set Nearest per side to 2–4.
Use Lookback (bars) to make behaviour consistent across symbols and histories.
Inputs (key ones)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF(default)/ON
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF(default)/ON + threshold
Mitigation Source: high/low or close
Remove on 50% SQ + Delay
Inversion window after entry (bars)
Remove inversed after (bars)
Lookback (bars), Nearest per side (N)
Right Extension Bars, Max FVGs, Meter width (bars)
Colours: Bullish, Bearish, Inversed fill
Suggested defaults (per TF)
15m: Extension 50, Max 12, Inversion window 8, Clean up 8, Meter width 20
H1: Extension 25, Max 10, Inversion window 6, Clean up 6, Meter width 15
H4: Extension 15, Max 8, Inversion window 5, Clean up 5, Meter width 10
Notes & edge cases
If a wick hits 50% or the far edge but state doesn’t change, you’re likely on close mode—switch to high/low for wick-based behaviour.
If a gap disappears, it likely met a clean up condition (50% removal, inversion window, inversion clean up, nearest-per-side, lookback, or max-cap).
Meters are hidden after ACTIVE to avoid stale percentages.
TheStrat: Failed 2 + 2 ConfirmationTheStrat: Failed-2 + 2 Confirmation (2-2 option)
This indicator spots a classic Strat “failed 2 → 2” sequence on consecutive bars, and fires alerts only when both conditions are met:
Failed-2 bar on the prior candle
Failed 2-Down (F2D): Took the prior low but closed green
Failed 2-Up (F2U): Took the prior high but closed red
By default this is strict (excludes outside bars/3’s). You can toggle to allow 3’s if you prefer a looser definition.
Current bar is a clean “2”
2U = broke prior high only; 2D = broke prior low only (excludes 3’s).
Optional: Require flip so the second bar must reverse direction (F2D→2U for longs, F2U→2D for shorts). Turn this off if you want any 2 after a Failed-2.
What gets plotted
Tiny markers on each Failed-2 as they occur (F2U/F2D).
A label when the combo confirms on the next bar:
Bullish: F2D→2U (or F2D→2 if flip is off) below the bar
Bearish: F2U→2D (or F2U→2) above the bar
Alerts (set from the “Add Alert” dialog)
Failed2 + 2 (Bull): Prior bar was F2D; current bar is a 2 (flip optional).
Failed2 + 2 (Bear): Prior bar was F2U; current bar is a 2 (flip optional).
Inputs
Colors for Failed-2 markers and combo labels
Require flip (on by default) → focuses on true 2-2 reversals
Count outside bars (3) as Failed-2? (off by default) → stricter = fewer, cleaner signals
How to trade it (typical Strat style)
Bullish combo (F2D→2U): Entry on break of the combo bar’s high; risk under its low (or under the prior bar).
Bearish combo (F2U→2D): Entry on break of the combo bar’s low; risk above its high.
First target = prior pivot (“magnitude”), then nearby pivots/BF levels. Improve odds by aligning with time-frame continuity (e.g., day/week in your direction).
Notes / Best practices
Uses barstate.isconfirmed → signals/labels are based on closed bars to avoid repaint.
If you see too many Failed-2 tags, keep outside-bar counting OFF (strict mode).
Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)🟩 Bull Market Support Band (20W SMA + 21W EMA)
OVERVIEW
The Bull Market Support Band is a long-term trend indicator that combines the 20-week SMA and 21-week EMA.
When price is above the band → bullish trend.
When below → bearish trend.
When within → neutral or transition phase.
This v6 version adds full customization, dynamic coloring, event labels, candle coloring, and a configurable on-chart legend table with trend arrows.
HOW IT WORKS
Calculates the 20W SMA and 21W EMA from a user-selectable higher timeframe (weekly by default).
Plots both averages and shades the area between them to form the support band.
The fill and line colors change automatically based on the market phase:
🟩 Green = Bullish (price above)
🟥 Red = Bearish (price below)
⬜ Gray = Neutral (price within).
Labels appear only when the trend state changes.
Alerts trigger when price crosses the band or either moving average.
Optional candle coloring applies the same bull/bear/neutral logic to price bars.
A convenience legend table displays current 20W SMA and 21W EMA values, along with slope arrows (^, v, =).
INCLUDED FEATURES
Configurable calculation timeframe.
Automatic band fill and line coloring.
Optional candle coloring overlay.
Compact or detailed regime-change labels.
ATR-based label offset and spacing control.
Customizable legend table with background color.
Horizontal or vertical legend layout.
Custom arrow characters (ASCII or Unicode).
Built-in alerts for band and MA crosses.
Optimized for higher-timeframe accuracy using request.security().
USAGE TIPS
Keep the default weekly setting for macro trend context.
On lower chart timeframes, use the band as higher-level support/resistance.
Combine with momentum or volume indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV) for confirmation.
Adjust ATR multiplier to move labels further from price candles.
Increase “Min bars between labels” to reduce visual clutter.
Disable auto-coloring if you prefer a static color theme.
Toggle compact legend or switch between horizontal/vertical layouts for best fit.
INTERPRETATION GUIDE
🟩 Bullish: Price above the band → trend continuation likely.
⬜ Neutral: Price within the band → consolidation or potential reversal zone.
🟥 Bearish: Price below the band → downtrend continuation or distribution.
Sustained closes above or below the band typically align with major market cycle shifts.
NOTES
Uses request.security() for higher-timeframe precision — accurate even on smaller charts.
The legend table is screen-anchored and remains fixed as you pan or zoom.
Plots and labels are price-anchored and move with candles.
Lightweight and efficient for all markets and intervals.
CREDITS
Original concept: The Bull Market Support Band (popularized in crypto analysis).
Enhanced Pine Script v6 version: Ricco .
Modernized for clarity, flexibility, and multi-timeframe accuracy.
SUMMARY
A modern, customizable Bull Market Support Band indicator highlighting long-term market regimes with clean visuals, color logic, and convenience features.
Designed for traders seeking macro clarity, minimal clutter, and professional presentation.
Session-Conditioned Regime ATRWhy this exists
Classic ATR is great—until the open. The first few bars often inherit overnight gaps and 24-hour noise that have nothing to do with the intraday regime you actually trade. That inflates early ATR, scrambles thresholds, and invites hyper-recency bias (“today is crazy!”) when it’s just the open being the open.
This tool was built to:
Separate session reality from 24h noise. Measure volatility only inside your defined session (e.g., NYSE 09:30–16:00 ET).
Judge candles against the current regime, not the last 2–3 bars. A rolling statistic from the last N completed sessions defines what “typical” means right now.
Label “large” and “small” objectively. Bars are colored only when True Range meaningfully departs from the session regime—no gut feel, no open-bar distortion (gap inclusion optional).
Overview
Purpose: objectively identify unusually big or small candles within the active trading session, compared to the recent session regime.
Use cases: volatility filters, entry/exit confirmation, session bias detection, adaptive sizing.
This indicator replaces generic ATR with a session-conditioned, regime-aware measure. It colors candles only when their True Range (TR) is abnormally large/small versus the last N completed sessions of the same session window.
How it works
Session gating: Only bars inside the selected session are evaluated (presets for NYSE, CME RTH, FX NY; custom supported).
Per-bar TR: TR = max(high, prevRef) − min(low, prevRef).
prevRef is the prior close for in-session bars.
First bar of the session can include the overnight gap (optional; default off).
Regime statistic: For any bar in session k, aggregate all in-session TRs from the previous N completed sessions (k−N … k−1), then compute Median (default) or Mean.
Today’s anchor: Running statistic from today’s session start → current bar (for context and the on-chart ratio).
Color logic:
Big if TR ≥ bigMult × RegimeStat
Small if TR ≤ smallMult × RegimeStat
Colored states: big bull, big bear, small bull, small bear.
Non-triggering bars retain the chart’s native colors.
Panel (top-right by default)
Regime ATR (Nd): session-conditioned statistic over the past N completed sessions.
Today ATR (anchored): running statistic for the current session.
Ratio (Today/Regime): intraday volatility vs regime.
Sample size n: number of bars used in the regime calculation.
Inputs
Session Preset: NYSE (09:30–16:00 ET), CME RTH (08:30–15:00 CT), FX NY (08:00–17:00 ET), Custom (session + IANA timezone).
Regime Window: number of completed sessions (default 5).
Statistic: Median (robust) or Mean.
Include Open Gap: include overnight gap in the first in-session bar’s TR (default off).
Big/Small thresholds: multipliers relative to RegimeStat (defaults: Big=1.5×, Small=0.67×).
Colors: four independent colors for big/small × bull/bear.
Panel position & text size.
Hidden outputs: expose RegimeStat, TodayStat, Ratio, and Z-score to other scripts.
Alerts
RegimeATR: BIG bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Big” condition.
RegimeATR: SMALL bar — triggers when a bar meets the “Small” condition.
Hidden outputs (for strategies/screeners)
RegimeATR_stat, TodayATR_stat, Today_vs_Regime_Ratio, BarTR_Zscore.
Notes & limitations
No look-ahead: calculations only use information available up to that bar. Historical colors reflect what would have been known then.
Warm-up: colors begin once there are at least N completed sessions; before that, regime is undefined by design.
Changing inputs (session window, multipliers, median/mean, gap toggle) recomputes the full series using the same rolling regime logic per bar.
Designed for standard candles. Styling respects existing chart colors when no condition triggers.
Practical tips
For a broader or tighter notion of “unusual,” adjust Big/Small multipliers.
Prefer Median in markets prone to outliers; use Mean if you want Z-score alignment with the panel’s regime mean/std.
Use the Ratio readout to spot compression/expansion days quickly (e.g., <0.7× = compressed session, >1.3× = expanded).
Roadmap
More session presets:
24h continuous (crypto, index CFDs).
23h/Globex futures (CME ETH with a 60-minute maintenance break).
Regional equities (LSE, Xetra, TSE), Asia/Europe/NY overlaps for FX.
Half-day/holiday templates and dynamic calendars.
Multi-regime comparison: track multiple overlapping regimes (e.g., RTH vs ETH for futures) and show separate stats/ratios.
Robust stats options: trimmed mean, MAD/Huber alternatives; optional percentile thresholds instead of fixed multipliers.
Subpanel visuals: rolling TodayATR and Ratio plots; optional Z-score ribbon.
Screener/strategy hooks: export boolean series for BIG/SMALL, plus a lightweight strategy template for backtesting entries/exits conditioned on regime volatility.
Performance/QOL: per-symbol presets, smarter warm-up, and finer control over sample caps for ultra-low TF charts.

RSI Cloud v1.0 [PriceBlance] RSI Cloud v1.0 — Ichimoku-style Cloud on RSI(14), not on price.
Recalibrated baselines: EMA9 (Tenkan) for speed, WMA45 (Kijun) for stability.
Plus ADX-on-RSI to grade strength so you know when momentum persists or fades.
1. Introduction
RSI Cloud v1.0 applies an Ichimoku Cloud directly on RSI(14) to reveal momentum regimes earlier and cleaner than price-based views. We replaced Tenkan with EMA9 (faster, more responsive) and Kijun with WMA45 (slower, more stable) to fit a bounded oscillator (0–100). Forward spans (+26) and a lagging line (−26) provide a clear framework for trend bias and transitions.
To qualify signals, the indicator adds ADX computed on RSI—highlighting whether strength is weak, strong, or very strong, so you can decide when to follow, fade, or stand aside.
2. Core Mapping (Hook + Bullets)
At a glance: Ichimoku on RSI(14) with recalibrated baselines for a bounded oscillator.
Source: RSI(14)
Tenkan → EMA9(RSI) (fast, responsive)
Kijun → WMA45(RSI) (slow, stable)
Span A: classic Ichimoku midline, displaced +26
Span B: classic Ichimoku baseline, displaced +26
Lagging line: RSI shifted −26
3. Key Benefits (Why traders care)
Momentum regimes on RSI: position vs. Cloud = bull / bear / transition at a glance.
Cleaner confirmations: EMA9/WMA45 pairing cuts noise vs. raw 30/70 flips.
Earlier warnings: Cloud breaks on RSI often lead price-based confirmations.
4. ADX on RSI (Enhanced Strength Normalization)
Grade strength inside the RSI domain using ADX from ΔRSI:
ADX ≤ 20 → Weak (transparency = 60)
ADX ≤ 40 → Strong (transparency = 15)
ADX > 40 → Very strong (transparency = 0)
Use these tiers to decide when to trust, fade, or ignore a signal.
5. How to Read (Quick rules)
Bias / Regime
Bullish: RSI above Cloud and RSI > WMA45
Bearish: RSI below Cloud and RSI < WMA45
Neutral / Transition: all other cases
6. Settings (Copy & use)
RSI Length: 14 (default)
Tenkan: EMA9 on RSI · Kijun: WMA45 on RSI
Displacement: +26 (Span A/B) · −26 (Lagging)
Theme: PriceBlance Dark/Light
Visibility toggles: Cloud, Baselines, Lagging, labels/panel, Overbought/Oversold, Divergence, ADX-on-RSI (via transparency coloring)

BayesStack RSI [CHE]BayesStack RSI — Stacked RSI with Bayesian outcome stats and gradient visualization
Summary
BayesStack RSI builds a four-length RSI stack and evaluates it with a simple Bayesian success model over a rolling window. It highlights bull and bear stack regimes, colors price with magnitude-based gradients, and reports per-regime counts, wins, and estimated win rate in a compact table. Signals seek to be more robust through explicit ordering tolerance, optional midline gating, and outcome evaluation that waits for events to mature by a fixed horizon. The design focuses on readable structure, conservative confirmation, and actionable context rather than raw oscillator flips.
Motivation: Why this design?
Classical RSI signals flip frequently in volatile phases and drift in calm regimes. Pure threshold rules often misclassify shallow pullbacks and stacked momentum phases. The core idea here is ordered, spaced RSI layers combined with outcome tracking. By requiring a consistent order with a tolerance and optionally gating by the midline, regime identification becomes clearer. A horizon-based maturation check and smoothed win-rate estimate provide pragmatic feedback about how often a given stack has recently worked.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: Traditional single-length RSI with overbought and oversold rules or simple crossovers.
Architecture differences:
Four fixed RSI lengths with strict ordering and a spacing tolerance.
Optional requirement that all RSI values stay above or below the midline for bull or bear regimes.
Outcome evaluation after a fixed horizon, then rolling counts and a prior-smoothed win rate.
Dispersion measurement across the four RSIs with a percent-rank diagnostic.
Gradient coloring of candles and wicks driven by stack magnitude.
A last-bar statistics table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, and priors.
Practical effect: Charts emphasize sustained momentum alignment instead of single-length crosses. Users see when regimes start, how strong alignment is, and how that regime has recently performed for the chosen horizon.
How it works (technical)
The script computes RSI on four lengths and forms a “stack” when they are strictly ordered with at least the chosen tolerance between adjacent lengths. A bull stack requires a descending set from long to short with positive spacing. A bear stack requires the opposite. Optional gating further requires all RSI values to sit above or below the midline.
For evaluation, each detected stack is checked again after the horizon has fully elapsed. A bull event is a success if price is higher than it was at event time after the horizon has passed. A bear event succeeds if price is lower under the same rule. Rolling sums over the training window track counts and successes; a pair of priors stabilizes the win-rate estimate when sample sizes are small.
Dispersion across the four RSIs is measured and converted to a percent rank over a configurable window. Gradients for bars and wicks are normalized over a lookback, then shaped by gamma controls to emphasize strong regimes. A statistics table is created once and updated on the last bar to minimize overhead. Overlay markers and wick coloring are rendered to the price chart even though the indicator runs in a separate pane.
Parameter Guide
Source — Input series for RSI. Default: close. Tips: Use typical price or hlc3 for smoother behavior.
Overbought / Oversold — Guide levels for context. Defaults: seventy and thirty. Bounds: fifty to one hundred, zero to fifty. Tips: Narrow the band for faster feedback.
Stacking tolerance (epsilon) — Minimum spacing between adjacent RSIs to qualify as a stack. Default: zero point twenty-five RSI points. Trade-off: Higher values reduce false stacks but delay entries.
Horizon H — Bars ahead for outcome evaluation. Default: three. Trade-off: Longer horizons reduce noise but delay success attribution.
Rolling window — Lookback for counts and wins. Default: five hundred. Trade-off: Longer windows stabilize the win rate but adapt more slowly.
Alpha prior / Beta prior — Priors used to stabilize the win-rate estimate. Defaults: one and one. Trade-off: Larger priors reduce variance with sparse samples.
Show RSI 8/13/21/34 — Toggle raw RSI lines. Default: on.
Show consensus RSI — Weighted combination of the four RSIs. Default: on.
Show OB/OS zones — Draw overbought, oversold, and midline. Default: on.
Background regime — Pane background tint during bull or bear stacks. Default: on.
Overlay regime markers — Entry markers on price when a stack forms. Default: on.
Show statistics table — Last-bar table with counts, wins, win rate, dispersion, priors, and window. Default: on.
Bull requires all above fifty / Bear requires all below fifty — Midline gate. Defaults: both on. Trade-off: Stricter regimes, fewer but cleaner signals.
Enable gradient barcolor / wick coloring — Gradient visuals mapped to stack magnitude. Defaults: on. Trade-off: Clearer regime strength vs. extra rendering cost.
Collection period — Normalization window for gradients. Default: one hundred. Trade-off: Shorter values react faster but fluctuate more.
Gamma bars and shapes / Gamma plots — Curve shaping for gradients. Defaults: zero point seven and zero point eight. Trade-off: Higher values compress weak signals and emphasize strong ones.
Gradient and wick transparency — Visual opacity controls. Defaults: zero.
Up/Down colors (dark and neon) — Gradient endpoints. Defaults: green and red pairs.
Fallback neutral candles — Directional coloring when gradients are off. Default: off.
Show last candles — Limit for gradient squares rendering. Default: three hundred thirty-three.
Dispersion percent-rank length / High and Low thresholds — Window and cutoffs for dispersion diagnostics. Defaults: two hundred fifty, eighty, and twenty.
Table X/Y, Dark theme, Text size — Table anchor, theme, and typography. Defaults: right, top, dark, small.
Reading & Interpretation
RSI stack lines: Alignment and spacing convey regime quality. Wider spacing suggests stronger alignment.
Consensus RSI: A single line that summarizes the four lengths; use as a smoother reference.
Zones: Overbought, oversold, and midline provide context rather than standalone triggers.
Background tint: Indicates active bull or bear stack.
Markers: “Bull Stack Enter” or “Bear Stack Enter” appears when the stack first forms.
Gradients: Brighter tones suggest stronger stack magnitude; dull tones suggest weak alignment.
Table: Count and Wins show sample size and successes over the window. P(win) is a prior-stabilized estimate. Dispersion percent rank near the high threshold flags stretched alignment; near the low threshold flags tight clustering.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter only on new stack markers aligned with structure such as higher highs and higher lows for bull, or lower lows and lower highs for bear. Use the consensus RSI to avoid chasing into overbought or oversold extremes.
Exits and stops: Consider reducing exposure when dispersion percent rank reaches the high threshold or when the stack loses ordering. Use the table’s P(win) as a context check rather than a direct signal.
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe: Defaults travel well on liquid assets from intraday to daily. Combine with higher-timeframe structure or moving averages for regime confirmation. The script itself does not fetch higher-timeframe data.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Stack markers evaluate on the live bar and can flip until close. Alert behavior follows TradingView settings. Outcome evaluation uses matured events and does not look into the future.
HTF and security: Not used. Repaint paths from higher-timeframe aggregation are avoided by design.
Resources: max bars back is two thousand. The script uses rolling sums, percent rank, gradient rendering, and a last-bar table update. Shapes and colored wicks add draw overhead.
Known limits: Lag can appear after sharp turns. Very small windows can overfit recent noise. P(win) is sensitive to sample size and priors. Dispersion normalization depends on the collection period.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the shipped defaults.
Too many flips: Increase stacking tolerance, enable midline gates, or lengthen the collection period.
Too sluggish: Reduce stacking tolerance, shorten the collection period, or relax midline gates.
Sparse samples: Extend the rolling window or increase priors to stabilize P(win).
Visual overload: Disable gradient squares or wick coloring, or raise transparency.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization and context layer for RSI stack regimes with simple outcome statistics. It is not a complete trading system, not predictive, and not a signal generator on its own. Use it with market structure, risk controls, and position management that fit your process.

Long-short energy ratio /多空能量比值This indicator calculates the relative strength of bulls and bears by measuring the average candle body movement within a user-defined window (default: 50 bars).
Bull Energy = average percentage change of all bullish candles in the lookback period
Bear Energy = average percentage change of all bearish candles in the lookback period
Energy Ratio = Bull Energy ÷ Bear Energy
The ratio is plotted as a curve around the baseline of 1:
Ratio > 1 → Bull side shows stronger momentum
Ratio < 1 → Bear side shows stronger momentum
Ratio ≈ 1 → Balanced market conditions
This tool helps visualize short-term shifts in buying and selling pressure, offering a simple mean-reversion perspective or a confirmation of trend strength depending on the context.

Specter Trend Cloud [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Specter Trend Cloud is a flexible moving-average–based trend tool that builds a colored “cloud” around market direction and highlights key retest opportunities. Using two adaptive MAs (short vs. long), offset by ATR for volatility adjustment, it shades the background with a gradient cloud that switches color on trend flips. When price pulls back to retest the short MA during an active trend, the script plots diamond markers and extends dotted levels from that retest price. If price later breaks through that level, the extension is terminated—giving traders a clean visual of valid vs. invalid retests.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Multi-MA Core Engine:
Choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA as the base. The indicator tracks both a short-term MA (Length) and a longer twin (2 × Length).
Volatility-Adjusted Offset:
Both MAs are shifted by ATR(200) depending on trend direction—pulling them down in uptrends, up in downtrends—so the cloud reflects realistic breathing room instead of razor-thin bands.
Gradient Trend Cloud:
Between the two shifted MAs, the script fills a shaded region:
• Aqua cloud = bullish trend
• Orange cloud = bearish trend
Gradient intensity increases toward the active edge, providing a visual sense of strength.
Trend Flip Logic:
A flip occurs whenever the short MA crosses above or below the long MA. The cloud instantly changes color and begins tracking the new regime.
Retest Detection:
During an ongoing trend (no flip), if price retests the short MA within a 5-bar “cooldown,” the tool:
• Marks the retest with diamond shapes below/above the bar.
• Draws a dotted horizontal line from the retest price, extending into the future.
Automatic Level Termination:
If price later closes through that dotted level, the line disappears—keeping only active, respected retest levels on your chart.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
MA Calculations:
ma1 = MA(src, Length), ma2 = MA(src, 2 × Length).
Trend = ma1 > ma2 (bull) or ma1 < ma2 (bear).
ATR shift offsets both ma1 and ma2 by ±ATR depending on trend.
Cloud Fill:
Plots ma1 and ma2 (invisible for long MA). Uses fill() with semi-transparent aqua/orange gradient between the two.
Retest Logic:
• Bullish retest: ta.crossover(low, ma1) while trend = bull.
• Bearish retest: ta.crossunder(high, ma1) while trend = bear.
Only valid if at least 5 bars have passed since last retest.
When triggered, it stores bar index and price, draws diamonds, and extends a dotted line.
Level Clearing:
If current high > retest upper line (bearish case) or low < retest lower line (bullish case), that line is deleted (stops extending).
⯁ USAGE
Use the cloud color as the higher-level trend bias (aqua = long, orange = short).
Look for diamonds + dotted lines as pullback/retest zones where trend continuation may launch.
If a retest level holds and price rebounds, it strengthens confidence in the trend.
If a retest level is broken, treat it as a warning of weakening trend or possible reversal.
Experiment with MA Type (SMA vs. EMA, etc.) to align sensitivity with your asset or timeframe.
Adjust Length for faster flips on low timeframes or smoother signals on higher ones.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Specter Trend Cloud combines trend detection, volatility-adjusted shading, and retest visualization into a single tool. The gradient cloud provides instant clarity on direction, while diamonds and dotted retest levels give you tactical entry/retest zones that self-clean when invalidated. It’s a versatile trend-following and confirmation layer, adaptable across multiple assets and styles.
