Supertrend Channels [LuxAlgo]The Supertrend is one of the most used indicators by traders when it comes to determining whether the market is up-trending or down-trending.
This indicator is displayed as a trailing stop, showing a lower monotonic extremity during up-trends and an upper monotonic extremity during down-trends. Today we propose a channel indicator based on the Supertrend trailing stop using trailing maximas/minimas.
Settings
Length: Atr length used by the Supertrend indicator.
Mult: Multiplicative factor for the Atr used by the Supertrend indicator.
Usage
The ability of the indicator to show an up-trend or down-trend is the same as the Supertrend, with rising channels when an up-trend is detected by the Supertrend and declining channels when a down-trend is detected by the Supertrend.
The look of the channels can remind of the Donchian channels indicator, and as such a similar usage can be appropriate. The extremities can for example be used as supports and resistances.
Additionally, the channel's average can be used to filter out noisy variations in the price while keeping a good distance from the price.

Money Maykah -- DC-ATR , Stochastic RSI signals v.1-89 --This indicator shows the Stochastic RSI (SSRI) for overbought when the Donchian Channel (DC) is in the upper zone (between basis and upper), and SSRI for oversold when the DC is in the lower zone.
The DC upper and lower have a percentage of the ATR added I call this DC-ATR.
There can be numerous ways to form a strategy based on this. For a bull trend, an ABCD could be traced by A/C = blue signals and B/D = red signals.
Let me know what you think or if there is something wrong with the code. It's probably not the cleanest or more efficient but I am not a pro. If you find a good way to make a strategy from the indicator let me know.
Hope you enjoy!

Volatility ChannelThis script is based on an idea I have had for bands that react better to crypto volatility. It calculates a Donchian Channel, SMMA-Smoothed True Range, Bollinger Bands (standard deviation), and a Keltner Channel (average true range) and averages the components to construct its bands/envelopes. This way, hopefully band touches are a more reliable indicator of a temporary bottom, and so on. Secondary coloring for strength of trend is given as a gradient based on RSI.
S and R (618-382)This script is based on Donchian channels.
It uses tree periods, 17, 72 and 305. You can also change it to 72, 305 and 1292.
The indicator calculates the channel and the 618 and 382 levels inside the channel.
If the price is above the level 618 then a support line apears indicating it with a light color.
if the price is under the level 382 then a resistance line apears indicating it with a dark color.
the small channel is Lime / Green
the medium channel is Yellow / Orange
the big channel is Red / Maroon.
Above all light colors a trend up.
under all dark colors a trend down.
+ Awesome OscillatorHi again. I have another indicator that I think is pretty neat.
I had the idea of creating an Awesome Oscillator for my Ultimate MA, just to see what kind of signals it might produce. If you're not familiar with my UMA you should go take a look at it, but essentially it is just an average of eight different length MAs, and if you're not familiar with the Awesome Oscillator, it is simply a comparison of the gap between two different moving averages (traditionally a 5 and 34 SMA) plotted as a histogram below the price chart. The two UMAs I was comparing in this version of the AO were the Hull and Simple. It looked okay, but I thought due to the nature of the movements of these MAs, that it was necessary to add something to this indicator in order to validate its creation and make it truly useful
I came to the idea of simply comparing the closing price of the asset on the chart to both the Awesome Oscillator moving averages. What this effectively does is gives you a representation of the moving averages on the chart (assuming you are using those same MAs) as an oscillator below the chart, enabling you to remove the moving averages from your price chart (obviously if you so choose). For me, I like this because fewer things on the chart makes it easier for me to see the price action and structure of the market clearly, or add something like a tWAP or two.
So, like, "how exactly would I use this indicator?"" you're probably asking.
First off: the Awesome Oscillator. By default it is a faintly shaded area, and is the least obvious part of the indicator.
Second: the plotted line. This is what I call the baseline (if you're familiar with NNFX, then you know what this is). It's basically your bias moving average (this means it defines, based on its lookback or length, whether momentum is bullish, bearish or ranging). In the case of the oscillator though, the ZERO line represents the baseline, and the oscillating line represents price in relation to it. If the line is above the zero line then price is above the moving average, and vice versa if it's below. The farther from the center line the baseline price is the greater the volatility,
Third: the histogram. This is the faster moving average, and same rules apply to it as your baseline. You can think of your fast moving average as a trade entry trigger, or an exit. It shows more immediate momentum shifts.
What's interesting about the relationships of all three of these things is that you don't actually NEED all three displayed. Because the Awesome Oscillator is a relation of your two moving averages, and the baseline and histogram are representational of the price relative to those two moving averages, you will notice that when the histogram (fast MA) flips up or down is the same exact time that the baseline price dips into the AO. The AO is effectively a moving average on that. So you can run this with just the AO and Baseline, or just the Baseline and fast MA histogram. To get started, I might recommend keeping your moving averages that you use on the chart just so you can see how this indicator works.
Both the fast MA and Baseline will show nice divergences (divergence indicator is added if you want to use it). And I've added Donchian Channels as upper and lower bounds that act neatly as support or resistance (especially effective if you're using my UMA with Bollinger Bands, or Magic Carpet Bands).
I've also done the usual colored candles thing, which gives you another great reason to get the moving averages off your chart. There are of course alerts for conditions that one might need to be alerted to as well.
Below are some images of different ways you might set these up using the default moving average/baseline settings. In all of these I've left the moving averages on the price chart (with the addition of a 233 SMA) so you can see the relationship between the indicators.
Right here is the indicator set up with just the awesome oscillator and baseline price. Gives a cleaner overall look. You can see that every time the baseline crosses the awesome oscillator is when price crosses the 8 SMA. Candle colors are based on if candle closes above baseline or below.
This is the indicator set up without the awesome oscillator. Here you can see candle closes over the 8 SMA (fast moving average) are shown by the histogram. Candle coloring is still the same as the above image.
This image looks identical to the first, except that the candle coloring is different. This time it is based on the 8 SMA (same as the baseline entering the awesome oscillator).
And the final example image. This one depicts the awesome oscillator and the fast moving average histogram. Candle coloring is based on the awesome oscillator. This can be a great way to visualize momentum because the awesome oscillator is depicting the crossing of the moving averages. A lot of people poo-poo moving average crosses, but I'd say they're wrong. Well, they're right and wrong. Depends on the MAs you're using. The power in moving average crosses is in their ability to show bullish or bearish momentum (or ranging behavior if they continually cross over each other). If you're using slow moving averages, then crosses are often very late (hence so many people who don't know saying, "but moving average crosses are too laggy". Here you might try changing these and having the baseline be faster than the UMA, and actually plot on chart the UMA (or some other moving average). These are just some thoughts.
Anyway, I hope this indicator proves useful to you all. I think for anyone looking to look at price action a bit more, but is used to using moving averages, this could be a really useful indicator. Most oscillating indicators (if not all) are built around moving averages, but they're never explained in such a way as I'm explaining how this one works (I don't think). I think knowing this could help many traders come to a deeper understanding of what the indicator they're using is actually doing.
KCGmut“KCGmut” stands for “Mutations Of Keltner Center Of Gravity Channel”.
After adding the ‘KeltCOG Width’ label to the KeltCOG, I got the idea of creating a subpanel indicator to show the development of the width-percent in previous periods. After some more thinking, I decided that the development of the COG-width-percent should also be reported and somehow the indicator should report whether the close is over (momentum is up), in (momentum is sideways) or under (momentum is down) the COG ( This is the gray area in the channel).
Borrowing from other scripts:
I tweeked the script of the KeltCOG (published) to calculate the columns and of REVE (also published) to calculate the volume spikes. Because the KeltCOG script had the default option to let the script chose lookback and adapt the width, I decided to not provide inputs to tweek lookback or channel width. Thus, if you use a KeltCOG in default setting, REVE and KCGmut together in the same chart, these will provide consistent complementary information about the candle. This layout has this combination:
I added actual volume to show where volume spikes occur.
Columns
For the channel-width-percent half of the value is used and for the COG-width-percent the whole to get a better image
By plotting the columns of the full width before those of the COG, in two series of positive and negative values, I created the illusion of a column with a different colored patch representing the COG (most are black) at the bottom where it points up (showing momentum is up), in the middle when the close is in the COG (no momentum) or at the top when the close is below the COG (showing momentum is down)
coloring drama
When nothing much happens, i.e. the channels keep the same width of shrink a bit, the columns get an unobtrusive color, black for the small COG patches and bluish gray for the channel columns pointing up or sideways, reddish gray when pointing down. If the COG increases (drama) the patches get colored lime (up), red (down) or orange (sideways, very seldom). If the channel increases, the columns get colored gold (up), maroon (down) or orange (sideways). Because the COG is derived from a Donchian channel, drama means a new high or low in the lookback period. Drama in the KeltCOG channel just means increase in volatility.
histogram showing volume spikes
Blue spikes indicate more then twice as much volume then recently normal, Maroon spikes indicate clear increases less then twice. To prevent the histogram from disappearing behind a column it is plotted first, spikes made longer then the column and also plotted both positive and negative. Single volume spikes don’t mean much, however if these occur in consecutive series and also come together with drama like new highs or increase in volatility, volume is worth noting. I regard such events as ‘voting’, the market ‘votes’ up or down. The REVE analyses these events to asses whether the volume stems from huge institutional traders (‘whales’) or large numbers of small traders (‘muppets’). This might be interesting too.
Remarks about momentum
Like in MACD, momentum has a direction. The difference is that in KCGmut momentum is a choise of the market to move above the COG (uptrend) or in (sideways) or under (downtrend), whereas in MACD the indicator shows the energy with which the market moves up or down. How does the market ‘choose’? The market doesn’t ‘think’, but still it comes to decisions. I see an analogy with the way a swarm of birds decides to go here or there, up or down, or land in a tree. All birds seem to agree but I guess a single bird has not much say in what the swarm does.
Double_Based_EMA_v2Developmment of Double_Based_EMA. The version 2 brings a set of emas, with 8, 34, 144 ,610 periods.
The price source is the closes inside the upper or lower range of the Donchian Chanell with the same period.
The reading is the same as My Script 44.
The price will try to reach the next level of EMA.
if $ >8 will try 34.
if $ >8 and 8>34 will try 144.
if $ >8 and 8>34 and 34>144 will try 610.
if $ <8 will try 34.
if $ <8 and 8<34 will try 144.
if $ <8 and 8<34 and 34<144 will try 610.
//---- Consolidation
The price will oscilate between the highest ema and it´s next in period . Eg 34 > 8 > 610 > 144. $ < 34 will try 144.
The price will oscilate betwenn the lowest ema and it´s next in period. Eg 610 > 34 > 8 > 144. $ > 144 will try 610.
//---
Observe how $ swing between the emas
8 <-> 34
8 <-> 34 <-> 144
34 <-> 144 <-> 610
//---
$ > 8 > 34 > 144 > 610 - pure trend up
S < 8 < 34 < 144 < 610 - pure trend dw
//--- Optional periods - 17 , 72 , 305 , 1292
Enjoy, comment.
Goethe A - Multiple Leading Indicator PackageGoethe A is an Indicator Package that contains multiple leading and lagging indicators.
The background is that shows the local trend is calculated by either two Moving Averages or by a Kumo Cloud. By default the Kumo Cloud calculation is used.
What are those circles?
-These are OBV (or VPT, can be set in the options) Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What this middle line?
-The middle line is calculated by a smoothed Heikin-Ashi indicator. I can be used as a dynamic zone of support and resistance. Many times this indicator is used as entry signal giver in trend following strategies.
What are those background lines?
-The background contains a simple Daily Pivots indicator. This indicator can be read as zones of Support and Resistance that updated based on the used timeframe.
What is this smaller thin grey line?
-This is a very simple Stoploss indicator based on Donchian Channels. The trade direction is based and calculated by the local trend (background color)
What are those small orange or aqua triangles?
- These are Pivots . They show when the OBV or wolfpack oscillators (or a double confirmation of both) might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move.
What are those purple triangles?
- These are Pivots . They show when the PVT oscillator might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move.
What are those big orange or aqua triangles?
- These are TSI (true strength indicator) entry signals . They are calculated by the TSI entry signal, the TSI oscillator treshold and in conjunction with the overall local trend (background color).
What are those white squares?
- These are Overbought or Oversold regions of the build-in RSI bands indicator. Every time the price crosses one of the RSI bands those squares are printed. Most of the time this happens after a move and indicates that this strong move has come to an end.
Most settings of the indicator package can be modified to your liking and based on your chosen strategy might have to be modified. Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
VWAP Bands - Event Based [LuxAlgo]This indicator returns VWAP bands with a degree of smoothness resetting based on various user-selected events. The bands are constructed using a VWAP based naive standard deviation.
The indicator can be anchored or start from the first bar and can be used as trailing support/resistance, in a moving average crossover system, or as source for external indicators.
Settings
Start: VWAP anchor point
Start At First Bar: Display the VWAP from the first bar instead of a specified anchor point
VWAP
Length: Controls certain characteristics of the user-selected event
Mult: Multiplicative factor for the VWAP standard deviation
Source: Price source of the indicator
Event
Event: Determines the event resetting the degree of smoothness of the VWAP
External Cross/Event: Input source used for external crosses/events
Further details about the available events are given below.
Details
Various event conditions are available to the users. When the selected event occurs, the VWAP equals the current closing price.
By default, the event is periodic, that is the VWAP resets periodically, with a period determined by the Length setting.
The Higher High event resets the VWAP when a new higher high occurs.
The Lower Low event resets the VWAP when a new lower low occurs.
The Trend Change event is similar however resets the VWAP only once a higher high or lower low occurs. Higher highs and lower lows are given by Donchian channels with a period determined by the Length setting.
The Start event reset the VWAP at the selected anchor point (or first bar if the "Start At First Bar" setting is selected). This can be useful if one only needs a regular anchored VWAP band indicator.
The External Cross event resets the VWAP when the Source price crosses the series selected in the External Cross/Event setting. In the image above the VWAP resets when the price crosses the volatility stop indicator.
The External Event resets the indicator when a series selected in the External Cross/Event setting is not equal to 0. This allows using a custom event in order to reset the VWAP. In the above example the VWAP is reset during a new session due to the External Session indicator.
+ %UMAIf you are familiar with the %B for use with Bollinger Bands, then you will understand this indicator immediately.
Designed for use with my +UMA moving average, this works in exactly the same way, with a few differences.
First off, as you can choose on which type of moving average the calculations are made, so too you will want to match this up with the one you are using. That of course goes for the standard deviation as well (just like you would with Bollinger Bands and %B). Here, because the +UMA uses highs and lows to create a sort of moving average channel, and then also to create the bands, I've opted to set the inner part of the bands as the extreme edge that the %UMA equates with the upper and lower lines.
I've added a moving average, donchian channels, and auto-plotted divergences as well, if you like. Typical color related stuff that I do. Alerts for everything.
Hope you like it!
The above image is comparing two of the same indicator, but based on different moving averages, and how it might plot divergences differently between the two.
+ Klinger OscillatorThis is a version of Stephen J. Klinger's, Klinger Oscillator (sometimes called Klinger Volume Oscillator). I've changed virtually nothing about the indicator itself, but added some lookback inputs for the EMAs the oscillator is derived from (traditionally 34 and 55), and added a few other things, as is my wont.
But what is the Klinger Oscillator? Essentially, the calculation looks at the high, low, and close of the current period, and compares that to the previous period's. If it is greater, it adds volume, and if it is less, it subtracts volume. It then takes an EMA of two different lookback periods of that calculation and subtracts one from the other. That's your oscillator. There is then made a signal line of the oscillator that a trader can use, in combination with the zero line, for taking trades. Investopedia has a good article on it, so if you're looking for more specifics, check there.
What I've done is add a selection of different moving averages that you may choose for the signal line. Usually it's a 13 period EMA, and that comes default, but here you could use an ALMA or HMA, or modular filter, etc. Find something that works for your style/algorithm.
Of course there are all the usual additions of mine with the various ways of coloring the indicator and candles, adjustable Donchian Bands, and alerts. A new addition that I've just added to all my indicators (oscillators, anyway) are divergences. This is more or less just a copy and paste of the divergence indicator available in TradingView. In this case you can set it to plot divergences off either the Klinger or the signal line. Depending on which one you choose you may have to adjust pivot lookbacks, and lookback range. I've kept the settings default from the RSI TradingView version.
Trend Following with Bollinger BandsThis is a trend following system which uses the Bollinger Bands instead of the Donchian Channels.
Long position:
* Price closes above the middle line.
* The fast EMA (in this case the 40) crosses over or is above the slow one (in this case the 120)
Short position:
* Price closes below the middle line.
* The fast EMA crosses under or is below the slow one.
Stoploss:
* 4 ATRs away from the price.
+ Rate of ChangeNOTE!* If you were using my previous + Rate of Change (and OBV) indicator, I will not be updating that. OBV was moved to my + Breadth & Volume indicator.
This indicator here is basically and updated version of the old indicator, without OBV.
The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago.
It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum.
I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen. I rather liked the result.
I call this the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, however the OBV does not have a lookback period, and this indicator does.
Doing some more fiddling, I realized that removing both the signum and the volume from the calculation gets you basically a price chart, but calculated as the change in price over n periods. I'm leaving this in because maybe someone discovers they really like having a line chart with moving averages or some other indicator on it to leave their main chart indicator free (giving a more clear look at price action). Can't hurt, right?
Default lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (especially if using the traditional RoC, which is by default in TV set to 10, and is nigh on useless at 1--I like 13).
Default source is set to each candle close, but give ohlc4 a look. It smooths out the indicator a bit, and because it's an average of the open, high, low, and close it should give a better idea of what price in general is doing.
Moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Donchian Channels, candle coloring and alerts are my usual additions.
Below are some comparison images of the different indicators wrapped up in here.
Comparison of Cumulative Rate of Change with two different sources. Lookback set to 1.
Cumulative Rate of Change as a price chart, essentially.
And, lastly, the traditional Rate of Change indicator.
+ Breadth & Volumenote* If you've used my "+ Rate of Change Indicator", I am updating that without the OBV, which has been moved here. Just an FYI.
This "indicator" is basically a variety of indicators that measure volume, or accumulation/distribution. There's a bit of a story about how this came about but
it's not that interesting, so I'll spare you.
Indicators from which you may choose here are On Balance Volume (OBV), Money Flow Index (MFI), Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Chaikin Oscillator, and Positive & Negative Net Volume.
I'll give a brief overview of these below, and if you want to educate yourself further on them you may. There are many web resources for that.
Most people are probably familiar with OBV. It's one of the more commonly used volume indicators, especially in the crypto crowd (at least amongst those traders I follow). It's basically a cumulative (doesn't oscillate around a midpoint) momentum indicator that measures volume of the current period versus volume of the previous period and adds it if price closed higher, but subtracts it if price closes lower. It's another way of using volume to confirm trend.
The MFI is a momentum indicator that measures the flow of money into and out of an asset over some period of time (user input). It's calculated using the RSI, so it can be used similarly to RSI (divergences, overbought, oversold, etc.), but of course unlike the RSI it's calculated primarily using volume and comparing the most recent candle close to the previous one (similar to OBV).
CMF is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a some period of time (typically 21). It's a way of measuring accumulation versus
distribution in an asset, and oscillates around a zero line. You would use it similarly to any other oscillator, in that you can look for divergences, and general positive or negative momentum.
Chaikin Oscillator is basically a MACD (without signal line) of the accumulation and distribution index (or line--which is somehow different than simply accumulation and distribution). I haven't looked into these differences deeply, but if you look below at the calculations, and substituted 'ad' for 'accdist' you get very different readings. I actually did that, and what it looks like it would do is turn the actual Oscillator into a MACD signal line. So, by substituting 'ad' for 'accdist' (or the accumulation/distribution index) you produce a signal line of the Chaikin Oscillator.
Anyway, all that confusion out of the way, as I said, it's a MACD on the accumulation and distribution index, therefore it is another zero line oscillator, and similarly to CMF, it's a way of measuring price movements in the chart versus a/d. The zero line isn't just any old zero line, however, it is actually the accumulation distribution line. I've made an OBV version of this by substituting the OBV for AD, so if you prefer OBV maybe you will like that.
Pos. & Neg Net Volume is actually an indicator I had seen made by RafaelZioni. It basically takes net volume, calculates a cumulative of that, then subtracts a moving average of some period from the cumulative net volume in order to create a volume oscillator. Use it like the other oscillators!
Added Donchian Channels, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, colored everything, and alerts.
Enjoy!
Below I will post images with the different indicators, everything on default settings (except for lookback period, which I have adjusted to my personal preferences).
Above is an image with the MFI being compared to the RSI since they are very similar (MFI being basically a volume derivative of the RSI).
Chaikin Money Flow set to lookback of 13. You could probably extend that a bit if you wanted to smooth the line more.
Chaikin Oscillator and Chaikin Oscillator of OBV, with a zoomed in look below, to see the differences more clearly.
CO and COBV closer look.
Positive & Negative Net Volume.
+ REX OscillatorSo, what is the REX oscillator, you might be asking yourself.
"The Rex oscillator is an indicator that measures market behavior based on the relationship of the close to the open, high and low values of the same bar. A big difference between the high and close on a bar indicates weakness, and wide disparity between the low and close indicates strength. The difference between open and close also indicates market performance."
The True Value of a Bar (TVB) gives an indication of how healthy the market is. A negative close and a positive TVB (or vice versa) is an indication of the market building strength on the opposing side of the trend. The Rex oscillator is a moving average of the TVB value with the specified period.
I first came across this watching one of many No Nonsense Forex videos. Mostly, from comments I've read, it is used as an exit indicator for people who trade with a system similar or identical to the one VP espouses in his NNFX blog. I think it's perfectly apt to use as an entry indicator as well, or even as both, perhaps, depending on the moving average you chose to apply to the TVB.
There are a few other versions of this on tradingview, but I thought I'd make an updated version. Added Donchian Channels because I like the idea of a dynamic sort of overbought/sold area. I left out the basis because the indicator pivots around a center line, and has a signal line as well. A basis line just seemed like too much, and would likely not be very useful.
The additional usual things that I incorporate into my indicators are included here: optional candle coloring, alerts, and probably a too large selection of moving averages.
Credit to Nemozny for the FRAMA calculation. I may add that to other indicators I have.
EXAMPLES:enhanced_taThis script is created to demonstrate usage of enhanced ta library which is present here :
Following custom indicators are populated in this script:
ma (Select moving average)
atr/atrpercent (With custom moving average)
bands - Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel (All with enhanced versions and additional options)
bandwidth - Bandwidth for the bands available. Uses same input as that of bands
bandpercent - Percentage in relation to band upper and lower levels. Uses same input as that of bands.
oscillator (oscillatorRange) - Generating custom overbought oversold regions.
Display Options
Display individual indicator by selecting them through dropdown. If you select all, we also look at overlay and non-overlay parameters to show/hide only those indicators which are applicable on candle overlay or as separate window.
[AB] Support/Resistance Drawing ToolThis script is designed to help you identify viable support and resistance levels by automatically creating lines that become less transparent when said levels hold. It is based on Donchian Channels created by rounded closes, not by highs and lows. You can use it as an aid to draw your levels manually, or stick exclusively to automatic charting.
Available settings are as follows:
Source - highly recommended to use Close, but other options are available if you'd like to do some experimentation.
Source Rounding - the accuracy of price sampling; higher rounding will make your lines more visible at the expense of precision. It is highly recommended to use decimals.
Length (Array) - the overall lookback of the script (length of the array). This value shouldn't be higher than 500 if skip = 2, or 250 if skip = 1. If you'd like to reach further back into the past, I'd recommend switching timeframes instead of increasing this beyond 500.
Sampling Skip - how frequently the data is sampled. I wouldn't recommend going beyond 2, especially with the default settings.
Transparency Skip - you can think of it as "pencil hardness". The higher the skip, the bigger the imprint of a single level detection will be. Wouldn't recommend going beyond 10.
Color R, G, and B - you can use these settings to adjust the color of the lines.
[RedK] Stepped Moving Average Channel (SMAC)The Stepping Moving Average Channel (SMAC) is not an indicator - It is more of a trading tool that was put together to enable a trader to take advantage of relatively fast price moves with quick incremental gain - maybe by exploiting opportunities to trade basic options (Calls, Puts) or to help with in/out-type swing trades. This is more a price-level visualization tool so please use it with this in mind, and not as a trading tool by itself.
While it looks very similar to a Donchian channel, SMAC plots a stepping channel of the moving average of the high & low prices (channel borders) - with an envelope that is at a user-specified % distance from the channel borders.
This setup, when combined with other Moving Averages and lower indicators, may make it easier for a trader to prepare for a trade with clear entry and exit price levels being planned upfront.
For example, a trader wants to capture 2% of the next move, will set the envelope to 2% and have clearer view of entry/exit price levels for such a scenario. once the trader receives confirmation (from other indicators or charts) that the price is heading in the way expected, the SMAC may make it simpler and quicker to estimate (and visualize) the entry/exit price levels and track the movement.
* The stepping feature helps remove price noise and the auto-stepping feature is designed to "snap to" those mental price levels that trader gravitate towards.
* The moving average type I used here is the Compound Ratio MA (CoRA_Wave) .
* This MA type was selected because it has a very high responsiveness and good smoothness, and tracks the price values very closely.
* The MA type can be replaced within the code with any other MA as preferred.
The auto-stepping feature:
----------------------------------
User can override the auto-stepping by entering a manual step value
when the auto-stepping is active, it will attempt to pick the best step size based on the underlying price range and the timeframe selected.
The step selection may not be ideal in some combination of value / TF - i will continue to improve these combinations
Stepping can also be completely disabled - this bring SMAC back to a regular (though highly responsive) Hi/Lo MA channel with envelope
The Excel table snippet in the chart above shows the various step value / TF combinations.
Also the stepping values can be further customized by changing the appropriate part in the script.
Other features:
--------------------
* Rounding Options: The stepping calculations uses one of 2 selectable methods:
1 -- regular rounding (uses the round() function): which rounds the price up & down depending on where it is compared to the half-step value
example: a value of 17 with a step of 10 will be rounded to 20. a value of 13 in that case will be rounded to 10
2 -- Whole Step (uses the int() function): this will only consider whole/fully completed steps - if the average (hi or low) does not explicitly exceed the next step level, we will not get that next value.
example: both values of 17 and 13 with a step of 10 will be rounded to 10.
* The "Quick Table":
The Quick Table shows on the top-left - and can be disabled in the script settings - It shows the currently selected stepping mode and value - since the auto-step changes dynamically with the selected chart timeframe, this makes it easier for the trader to view the active "configuration"
overall, i hope some traders find this quick utility useful - if not to use, maybe to inspire other ideas
- please feel free to use or customize in any way you need. Feel free to share feedback and observations.
Multi Range Pivots
Multi Range Pivots works by recognizing the high and low of the timeframe selected and plotting range high to MEAN averages and range low to MEAN averages.
This is essentially the VWAP pivots updated to include not only VWAP as a MEAN, but also SMA, EMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, TRIMA, KAMA, MAMA, T3, H/L basis and Donchian basis.
Also, with high and low no longer repainting, I was able to add true reliable signals.
Enjoy
CPR Strategy - (Call and Put Option Selling)The strategy is designed using CPR and Donchian Channels.
STRATEGY RULES:
We need to wait for "Sell Call" or "Sell Put" arrow on the chart.
Sell call or put on the next candle.
Sell call strike above CPR resistance and candle close above it will be stop loss.
Similarly, sell put strike below CPR support and candle close below it will be stop loss.
This strategy is purely based on theta decay principle.
Hence, always use this strategy on weekly option.
Also, never trade on Monday or Friday to avoid volatility.
Hope you enjoy this strategy and become a professional trader.
Enjoy! :-)

BULLSEYE BORDERS (Combined Price Action Follower)Developed for Crypto Currency Market! Use for 15 minutes period or more! Under 15 minutes, results are unpredictible.
This script had been orginized with Donchian Lines based on support and resistance levels.
Rules:
If the price is under top line, you will be ready for short position, and over the bottom line, long position.
When the price passes the red and green area you can take action and enter the trade!
Orange area refers the squeezed or floating position, so you can either stop or wait for price action!
If you see boring candles frequently, check out the last high and low levels.
If the price close to the last high, take long position. If not, short position.
Use ALMA , if you want to put and alert on script. It is identical to price line.
Thanks to @millerrh for 'Breakout Trend Follower'. Just used the last low and high features to complete the script. Combined with 'Boring Candles' from ©Prasad Raut, Modified on 20190811 (Updated to %30 full candle)
Trend Tip: You can use the script with Linear Channel so you can also see the trend. (not always)
Bridge Bands [joecat808]Bridge Bands are an implementation of the work done by Joe Catanzaro (joecat808) to produce a risk range for a security.
The basic idea is to calculate Mandelbrot's "Bridge Range". (Pg. 179 of Misbehavior of Markets)
It then calculates Bollinger Bands.
Then next step is to calculate the Hurst Exponent.
The last step is to merge the Bridge Range and the Bollinger Bands. The basic concept is if H = .5 we use the Bollinger Bands and the farther away we move from .5 in either direction the Bridge Range takes more precedent.
There is a Trend value that is the mid-point of a 3 month Donchian Channel. If price is above we're bullish, if price is below we're bearish.
Lastly, there is also an option info box with data regarding the underlying's position within the range, as well as an experimental position size calculation.
Comprehensive BandsComprehensive Bands is an unabashed mashup combining Bollinger Bands, STARC Bands, and Keltner Channels. STARC Bands are modified Keltner Channels whichdo a better job than the Bollinger Bands when it comes to showing where the top and bottom ranges of natural volatility exist. The pale white exterior cloud is your STARC Band fill. The white line is the STARC basis line. Next closest to the center we have the Bollinger Bands in yellow without a basis line (because BB basis lines aren't that great). Bollinger Bands will help to highlight when volatility breakouts are about to happen. Keltner Channels are based on an exponential moving average represented by the purple basis line in the center usually accompanied by a pair of channel lines above and below, in this case represented as a blue fill.
Every component of this indicator can represent support and resistance on the go. You can use this as a trading system. The method in this case would be similar to the Bollinger Band trading method. The Bollinger Band method involves waiting for price to hit a support or resistance line where it then prints a reversal candle, and to trade in the direction of that reversal. This indicator can improve the Bollinger Band trading method by providing a better idea of when a trend has reached a reversal point through the use of superior maximum/minimum representations and superior basis lines. All this while configured in a visual representation that's light on noise. I'd suggest using this indicator in conjunction with an oscillator you feel comfortable with such as the MacD or RSI. Happy hunting.
Shoutout to LazyBear.
Note: I'm aware that this does not contain Donchian channels and have no regrets.
