Market Direction Indicator [LazyBear]Market Direction Indicator (MDI), by Donald Lambert, is an extension of simple moving average cross over systems. Series of price cross over points are determined to derive MDI.
Note that the short/long lengths will differ between instruments. They need to be tuned properly.
I have added an option to specify a "cutoff" parameter. When MDI is in the cutoff zone (-/+ cutoff), bars are colored gray. Set this to zero to turn off cutoffs.
Other options:
- OverlayMode: Enable this to color bars. MDI values are not plotted. If unchecked, MDI default rendering mode is Histogram mode.
- ShowBelowZero: Plots the negative values below zero (Oscillator mode)
Use "MDI" and "ZeroLine" for setting up alerts. Make sure MDI is in OscillatorMode.

Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear]
Fixed a typo in the code where BB multiplier was stuck at 1.5. Thanks @ucsgears for bringing it to my notice.
Updated source: pastebin.com
Use the updated source instead of the what TV shows below.
This is a derivative of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator, as discussed in his book "Mastering the Trade" (chapter 11).
Black crosses on the midline show that the market just entered a squeeze (Bollinger Bands are with in Keltner Channel). This signifies low volatility, market preparing itself for an explosive move (up or down). Gray crosses signify "Squeeze release".
Mr.Carter suggests waiting till the first gray after a black cross, and taking a position in the direction of the momentum (for ex., if momentum value is above zero, go long). Exit the position when the momentum changes (increase or decrease --- signified by a color change). My (limited) experience with this shows, an additional indicator like ADX / WaveTrend, is needed to not miss good entry points. Also, Mr.Carter uses simple momentum indicator, while I have used a different method (linreg based) to plot the histogram.

StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer - indicator [PresentTrading]Hello everyone! In the following few open scripts, I would like to share various statistical tools that benefit trading. For this time, it is a powerful indicator called StatPivot- Dynamic Range Analyzer that brings a whole new dimension to your technical analysis toolkit.
This tool goes beyond traditional pivot point analysis by providing comprehensive statistical insights about price movements, helping you identify high-probability trading opportunities based on historical data patterns rather than subjective interpretations. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, StatPivot's real-time percentile rankings give you a statistical edge in understanding exactly where current price action stands within historical contexts.
Welcome to share your opinions! Looking forward to sharing the next tool soon!
█ Introduction and How it is Different
StatPivot is an advanced technical analysis tool that revolutionizes retracement analysis. Unlike traditional pivot indicators that only show static support/resistance levels, StatPivot delivers dynamic statistical insights based on historical pivot patterns.
Its key innovation is real-time percentile calculation - while conventional tools require new pivot formations before updating (often too late for trading decisions), StatPivot continuously analyzes where current price stands within historical retracement distributions.
Furthermore, StatPivot provides comprehensive statistical metrics including mean, median, standard deviation, and percentile distributions of price movements, giving traders a probabilistic edge by revealing which price levels represent statistically significant zones for potential reversals or continuations. By transforming raw price data into statistical insights, StatPivot helps traders move beyond subjective price analysis to evidence-based decision making.
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Pivot Point Detection and Analysis
The core of StatPivot's functionality begins with identifying significant pivot points in the price structure. Using the parameters left and right, the indicator locates pivot highs and lows by examining a specified number of bars to the left and right of each potential pivot point:
Copyp_low = ta.pivotlow(low, left, right)
p_high = ta.pivothigh(high, left, right)
For a point to qualify as a pivot low, it must have left higher lows to its left and right higher lows to its right. Similarly, a pivot high must have left lower highs to its left and right lower highs to its right. This approach ensures that only significant turning points are recognized.
🔶 Percentage Change Calculation
Once pivot points are identified, StatPivot calculates the percentage changes between consecutive pivot points:
For drops (when a pivot low is lower than the previous pivot low):
CopydropPercent = (previous_pivot_low - current_pivot_low) / previous_pivot_low * 100
For rises (when a pivot high is higher than the previous pivot high):
CopyrisePercent = (current_pivot_high - previous_pivot_high) / previous_pivot_high * 100
These calculations quantify the magnitude of each market swing, allowing for statistical analysis of historical price movements.
🔶 Statistical Distribution Analysis
StatPivot computes comprehensive statistics on the historical distribution of drops and rises:
Average (Mean): The arithmetic mean of all recorded percentage changes
CopyavgDrop = array.avg(dropValues)
Median: The middle value when all percentage changes are arranged in order
CopymedianDrop = array.median(dropValues)
Standard Deviation: Measures the dispersion of percentage changes from the average
CopystdDevDrop = array.stdev(dropValues)
Percentiles (25th, 75th): Values below which 25% and 75% of observations fall
Copyq1 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.25))
q3 = array.get(sorted, math.floor(cnt * 0.75))
VaR95: The maximum expected percentage drop with 95% confidence
Copyvar95D = array.get(sortedD, math.floor(nD * 0.95))
Coefficient of Variation (CV): Measures relative variability
CopycvD = stdDevDrop / avgDrop
These statistics provide a comprehensive view of market behavior, enabling traders to understand the typical ranges and extreme moves.
🔶 Real-time Percentile Ranking
StatPivot's most innovative feature is its real-time percentile calculation. For each current price, it calculates:
The percentage drop from the latest pivot high:
CopycurrentDropPct = (latestPivotHigh - close) / latestPivotHigh * 100
The percentage rise from the latest pivot low:
CopycurrentRisePct = (close - latestPivotLow) / latestPivotLow * 100
The percentile ranks of these values within the historical distribution:
CopyrealtimeDropRank = (count of historical drops <= currentDropPct) / total drops * 100
This calculation reveals exactly where the current price movement stands in relation to all historical movements, providing crucial context for decision-making.
🔶 Cluster Analysis
To identify the most common retracement zones, StatPivot performs a cluster analysis by dividing the range of historical drops into five equal intervals:
CopyrangeSize = maxVal - minVal
For each interval boundary:
Copyboundaries = minVal + rangeSize * i / 5
By counting the number of observations in each interval, the indicator identifies the most frequently occurring retracement zones, which often serve as significant support or resistance areas.
🔶 Expected Price Targets
Using the statistical data, StatPivot calculates expected price targets:
CopytargetBuyPrice = close * (1 - avgDrop / 100)
targetSellPrice = close * (1 + avgRise / 100)
These targets represent statistically probable price levels for potential entries and exits based on the average historical behavior of the market.
█ Trade Direction
StatPivot functions as an analytical tool rather than a direct trading signal generator, providing statistical insights that can be applied to various trading strategies. However, the data it generates can be interpreted for different trade directions:
For Long Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price drops that reach the 70-80th percentile range in the historical distribution, suggesting a statistically significant retracement
Target setting: Use the Expected Sell price or consider the average rise percentage as a reasonable target
Risk management: Set stop losses below recent pivot lows or at a distance related to the statistical volatility (standard deviation)
For Short Trades:
Entry considerations: Look for price rises that reach the 70-80th percentile range, indicating an unusual extension
Target setting: Use the Expected Buy price or average drop percentage as a target
Risk management: Set stop losses above recent pivot highs or based on statistical measures of volatility
For Range Trading:
Use the most common drop and rise clusters to identify probable reversal zones
Trade bounces between these statistically significant levels
For Trend Following:
Confirm trend strength by analyzing consecutive higher pivot lows (uptrend) or lower pivot highs (downtrend)
Use lower percentile retracements (20-30th percentile) as entry opportunities in established trends
█ Usage
StatPivot offers multiple ways to integrate its statistical insights into your trading workflow:
Statistical Table Analysis: Review the comprehensive statistics displayed in the data table to understand the market's behavior. Pay particular attention to:
Average drop and rise percentages to set reasonable expectations
Standard deviation to gauge volatility
VaR95 for risk assessment
Real-time Percentile Monitoring: Watch the real-time percentile display to see where the current price movement stands within the historical distribution. This can help identify:
Extreme movements (90th+ percentile) that might indicate reversal opportunities
Typical retracements (40-60th percentile) that might continue further
Shallow pullbacks (10-30th percentile) that might represent continuation opportunities in trends
Support and Resistance Identification: Utilize the plotted pivot points as key support and resistance levels, especially when they align with statistically significant percentile ranges.
Target Price Setting: Use the expected buy and sell prices calculated from historical averages as initial targets for your trades.
Risk Management: Apply the statistical measurements like standard deviation and VaR95 to set appropriate stop loss levels that account for the market's historical volatility.
Pattern Recognition: Over time, learn to recognize when certain percentile levels consistently lead to reversals or continuations in your specific market, and develop personalized strategies based on these observations.
█ Default Settings
The default settings of StatPivot have been carefully calibrated to provide reliable statistical analysis across a variety of markets and timeframes, but understanding their effects allows for optimal customization:
Left Bars (30) and Right Bars (30): These parameters determine how pivot points are identified. With both set to 30 by default:
A pivot low must be the lowest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
A pivot high must be the highest point among 30 bars to its left and 30 bars to its right
Effect on performance: Larger values create fewer but more significant pivot points, reducing noise but potentially missing important market structures. Smaller values generate more pivot points, capturing more nuanced movements but potentially including noise.
Table Position (Top Right): Determines where the statistical data table appears on the chart.
Effect on performance: No impact on analytical performance, purely a visual preference.
Show Distribution Histogram (False): Controls whether the distribution histogram of drop percentages is displayed.
Effect on performance: Enabling this provides visual insight into the distribution of retracements but can clutter the chart.
Show Real-time Percentile (True): Toggles the display of real-time percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: A critical setting that enables the dynamic analysis of current price movements. Disabling this removes one of the key advantages of the indicator.
Real-time Percentile Display Mode (Label): Chooses between label display or indicator line for percentile rankings.
Effect on performance: Labels provide precise information at the current price point, while indicator lines show the evolution of percentile rankings over time.
Advanced Considerations for Settings Optimization:
Timeframe Adjustment: Higher timeframes generally benefit from larger Left/Right values to identify truly significant pivots, while lower timeframes may require smaller values to capture shorter-term swings.
Volatility-Based Tuning: In highly volatile markets, consider increasing the Left/Right values to filter out noise. In less volatile conditions, lower values can help identify more potential entry and exit points.
Market-Specific Optimization: Different markets (forex, stocks, commodities) display different retracement patterns. Monitor the statistics table to see if your market typically shows larger or smaller retracements than the current settings are optimized for.
Trading Style Alignment: Adjust the settings to match your trading timeframe. Day traders might prefer settings that identify shorter-term pivots (smaller Left/Right values), while swing traders benefit from more significant pivots (larger Left/Right values).
By understanding how these settings affect the analysis and customizing them to your specific market and trading style, you can maximize the effectiveness of StatPivot as a powerful statistical tool for identifying high-probability trading opportunities.
EMA Wave Indicator [LazyBear]This is a 3 EMA visualization tool. Relative momentum across 3 timeframes are rendered as A/B/C waves. Also, helpful in identifying spike/exhaustion bars.
When all the waves are in the same direction, the momentum is very high on that direction. I have made all options configurable, have fun tuning for your instrument :)

BBImpulse IndicatorBBImpulse is part of the latest indicators package offered by John Bollinger. Excerpt from their market blurb (www.bbforex.com):
"BBImpulse is derived from %b. Its value is the periodic change of %b, so if %b was 0.45 this period and 0.20 last period the present value of BBImpulse is 0.25. We present two reference levels on the chart, an alert level and an impulse level."
"Generally the market moves in the direction of the latest alerts and/or impulses except towards the end of a move where one can take advantage of exhaustion/reversal signals from this indicator."
"Ian Woodward employs BBImpulse for his Kahuna signals using key levels of 0.24 and 0.40."
I added support for the following:
- Highlighting alert/impulse trigger bars
- Rendering the range (check options page).
I noticed that the range, by itself, highlights lot of info:
- Tapering in (narrowing) of range may signify topping or falling prices.
- Tapering out (expanding) may signify nearing a bottom or rising prices.
- Range getting "ranged" between alert or impulse levels signify a major move in the direction of the last impulse trigger. I think for this, alert level ranging intensity is greater than impulse level ranging intensity.
Someone more familiar with BB will have more observations, I am sure. Please do share here so we BB noobs can learn :)

Kaufman Stress IndicatorStress Indicator, first proposed by Mr. Perry Kaufman, provides an easy way for trading pairs / arbs.
Kaufman's trading rules for Stress Indicator:
- Decide on a pair to trade: For ex., AAPL v QQQ
- Calculate the Stress Indicator (SI) for that pair
- Buy the stock when SI 50
- Calculate the 60-day moving average of QQQ
- If the trend of QQQ is down, hedge the stock position with QQQ equal to the risk of the stock using the 20-day ATR of each
- Exit the hedge when the stock position exits, or exit the hedge when the trend of QQQ turns up
- Do not trade stocks under $3
Explanation of all potential SI applications is beyond this post. For more info:

- www.futuresmag.com
- kaufmansignals.com
- TASC 2014 March issue.
Though Kaufman's Stress stategy is built on top of this Stress Indicator, I suggest reading up his full strategy guidelines before applying this.
Kaufman suggests using 60SMA on the index to track the slope. I have included a custom SMA (find it in the middle pane) that can show SMA for any selected symbol. Use the guide below to import that in to your charts: drive.google.com
Flying Dragon Trend IndicatorFlying Dragon Trend Indicator can be used to indicate the trend on all timeframes by finetuning the input settings.
The Flying Dragon Trend family includes both the strategy and the indicator, where the strategy supports of selecting the optimal set of inputs for the indicator in each scenario. Highly recommended to get familiar with the strategy first to get the best out of the indicator.
Flying Dragon Trend plots the trend bands into the ribbon, where the colours indicate the trend of each band. The plotting of the bands can be turned off in the input settings. Based on the user selectable Risk Level the trend pivot indicator is shown for the possible trend pivot when the price crosses the certain moving average line, or at the Lowest risk level all the bands have the same colour. The trend pivot indicator is not shown on the Lowest risk level, but the colour of the trend bands is the indicator instead .
The main idea is to combine two different moving averages to cross each other at the possible trend pivot point, but trying to avoid any short term bounces to affect the trend indication. The ingenuity resides in the combination of selected moving average types, lengths and especially the offsets. The trend bands give visual hint for the user while observing the price interaction with the bands, one could say that when "the Dragon swallows the candles the jaws wide open", then there is high possibility for the pivot. The leading moving average should be fast while the lagging moving average should be, well, lagging behind the leading one. There is Offset selections for each moving average, three for leading one and one for the lagging one, those are where the magic happens. After user has selected preferred moving average types and lengths, by tuning each offset the optimal sweet spot for each timeframe and equity will be found. The default values are good enough starting points for longer (4h and up) timeframes, but shorter timeframes (minutes to hours) require different combination of settings, some hints are provided in tooltips. Basically the slower the "leading" moving average (like HMA75 or HMA115) and quicker the "lagging" moving average (like SMA12 or SMA5) become, the better performance at the Lowest risk level on minute scales. This "reversed" approach at the minute scales is shown also as reversed colour for the "lagging" moving average trend band, which seems to make it work surprisingly well.
The Flying Dragon Trend does not necessarily work well on zig zag and range bounce scenarios without additional finetuning of the input settings to fit the current condition.
3 projection Indicators - PBands, PO & PBAll these indicators are by Mel Widner.
Projection Bands :
-------------------------------------------------------
These project market data along the trend with the maxima and minima of the projections defining the band. The method provides a way to signal potential direction changes relative to the trend. Usage is like any other trading band.
Projection Oscillator :
-------------------------------------------------------
This indicates the relative position of price with in the bands. It fluctuates between the values 0 to 100. You can configure the "basis" to make it oscillate around a specific value (for ex., basis=50 will make it oscillate between +50 and -50). EMA of PO (length configurable, default is 5) is plotted as a signal line. There is also an option to plot the difference (oscillator - signal), just like MACD histogram. When you see a divergence in this oscillator, remember that it just indicates a potential movement with in the band (for ex., a bullish divergence shown may cause the price to cross the median and move up to the top band).
Projection Bandwidth :
-------------------------------------------------------
This shows the % width of the projection bands. A trend reversal is signaled by a high value. Low value may indicate the start of a new trend. This is also a trend strength indicator.

Realtime Divergence for Any IndicatorThis indicator is an addon to any oscillating indicator. It shows divergences. It shows realtime divergences too. Realtime divergences are potential divergences because the actual pivot is not fully formed.
It shows:
Regular Bullish Divergences
Hidden Bullish Divergences
Regular Bearish Divergences
Hidden Bearish Divergences
Reatime divergence lines are dashed lines while non-reatime are solid.
This script also offers a fair bit of control over what you can accept as a legitimate divergence.
Also note that functions tend to not work properly in conditional and loop structures so I couldn't use a lot of functions and consequently my script is really big. Sorry.
Vortex Indicator with Thresholds DefinedA problem I noticed with the built in Vortex indicator was that it didn't include any defined thresholds that are important to understanding how to read the vortex indicator. So I modified the vortex indicator in order to have the thresholds built in so you don't have to draw horizontal lines on your chart.
ValueChart Indicator [LazyBear]This indicator displays the trend-adjusted price activity of a security. It oscillates around the zero-line. It is usually plotted as OHLC, but Pine doesn't have this support yet. So, I have rendered OHLC separately (see chart for the details).
This indicator is particularly useful for ‘scalping’ in a sideways market, where there is limited movement taking place, rather than a trending market undergoing larger swing movements.
I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial indicator out there as I don't have access to one. This is a direct port of a similar TOS indicator.

The "Percentage above 50-day SMA" indicator measures the percentage of stocks in the index trading above their 50-day moving average. It is a useful tool for assessing the general state of the market and identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
One way to use the "Percentage above 50-day SMA" indicator in a trading strategy is to combine it with a long-term moving average to determine whether the trend is bullish or bearish. Another way to use it is to combine it with a short-term moving average to identify pullbacks and rebounds within the overall trend.
The purpose of using the "Percentage above 50-day SMA" indicator is to participate in a larger trend with a better risk-reward ratio. By using this indicator to identify pullbacks and bounces, you can reduce the risk of entering trades at the wrong time.
Bull Signal Recap:
150-day EMA of $SPXA50R crosses above 52.5 and remains above 47.50 to set the bullish tone.
5-day EMA of $SPXA50R moves below 40 to signal a pullback
5-day EMA of $SPXA50R moves above 50 to signal an upturn
Bear Signal Recap:
150-day EMA of $SPXA50R crosses below 47.50 and remains below 52.50 to set the bearish tone.
5-day EMA of $SPXA50R moves above 60 to signal a bounce
5-day EMA of $SPXA50R moves below 50 to signal a downturn
Tweaking
There are numerous ways to tweak a trading system, but chartists should avoid over-optimizing the indicator settings. In other words, don't attempt to find the perfect moving average period or crossover level. Perfection is unattainable when developing a system or trading the markets. It is important to keep the system logical and focus tweaks on other aspects, such as the actual price chart of the underlying security.
What do levels above and below 50% signify in the long-term moving average?
A move above 52.5% is deemed bullish, and below 47.5% is deemed bearish. These levels help to reduce whipsaws by using buffers for bullish and bearish thresholds.
How does the short-term moving average work to identify pullbacks or bounces?
When using a 5-day EMA, a move below 40 signals a pullback, and a move above 60 signals a bounce.
How is the reversal of pullback or bounce identified?
A move back above 50 after a pullback or below 50 after a bounce signals that the respective trend may be resuming.
How can you ensure that the uptrend has resumed?
It’s important to wait for the surge above 50 to ensure the uptrend has resumed, signaling improved breadth.
Can the system be tweaked to optimize indicator settings?
While there are various ways to tweak the system, seeking perfection through over-optimizing settings is advised against. It's crucial to keep the system logical and focus tweaks on the price chart of the underlying security.

Индикатор "Процент выше 50-дневной скользящей средней" измеряет процент акций, торгующихся в индексе выше их 50-дневной скользящей средней. Это полезный инструмент для оценки общего состояния рынка и выявления условий перекупленности и перепроданности.
Один из способов использования индикатора "Процент выше 50-дневной скользящей средней" в торговой стратегии - это объединить его с долгосрочной скользящей средней, чтобы определить, является ли тренд бычьим или медвежьим. Другой способ использовать его - объединить с краткосрочной скользящей средней, чтобы выявить откаты и отскоки в рамках общего тренда.
Цель использования индикатора "Процент выше 50-дневной скользящей средней" - участвовать в более широком тренде с лучшим соотношением риска и прибыли. Используя этот индикатор для выявления откатов и отскоков, вы можете снизить риск входа в сделки в неподходящее время.
Краткое описание бычьего сигнала:
150-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50R пересекает отметку 52,5 и остается выше 47,50, что задает бычий настрой.
5-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50R опускается ниже 40, сигнализируя об откате
5-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50R поднимается выше 50, сигнализируя о росте
Обзор медвежьих сигналов:
150-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50R пересекает уровень ниже 47,50 и остается ниже 52,50, что указывает на медвежий настрой.
5-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50R поднимается выше 60, сигнализируя о отскоке
5-дневная ЕМА на уровне $SPXA50 опускается ниже 50, что сигнализирует о спаде
Корректировка
Существует множество способов настроить торговую систему, но графологам следует избегать чрезмерной оптимизации настроек индикатора. Другими словами, не пытайтесь найти идеальный период скользящей средней или уровень пересечения. Совершенство недостижимо при разработке системы или торговле на рынках. Важно поддерживать логику системы и уделять особое внимание другим аспектам, таким как график фактической цены базовой ценной бумаги.
Что означают уровни выше и ниже 50% в долгосрочной скользящей средней?
Движение выше 52,5% считается бычьим, а ниже 47,5% - медвежьим. Эти уровни помогают снизить риски, используя буферы для бычьих и медвежьих порогов.
Как краткосрочная скользящая средняя помогает идентифицировать откаты или отскоки?
При использовании 5-дневной ЕМА движение ниже 40 указывает на откат, а движение выше 60 указывает на отскок.
Как определяется разворот отката или отскока?
Движение выше 50 после отката или ниже 50 после отскока сигнализирует о возможном возобновлении соответствующего тренда.
Как вы можете гарантировать, что восходящий тренд возобновился?
Важно дождаться скачка выше 50, чтобы убедиться в возобновлении восходящего тренда, сигнализирующего о расширении диапазона.
Можно ли настроить систему для оптимизации настроек индикатора?
Хотя существуют различные способы настройки системы, не рекомендуется стремиться к совершенству с помощью чрезмерной оптимизации настроек. Крайне важно сохранить логичность системы и сфокусировать изменения на ценовом графике базовой ценной бумаги.
Zweig Market Breadth Thrust Indicator+Trigger [LazyBear x rwak]The Breadth Thrust (BT) indicator is a market momentum indicator developed by Dr. Martin Zweig. According to Dr. Zweig, a Breadth Thrust occurs when, during a 10-day period, the Breadth Thrust indicator rises from below 40 percent to above 61.5 percent.
A "Thrust" indicates that the stock market has rapidly changed from an oversold condition to one of strength, but has not yet become overbought. This is very rare and has happened only a few times. Dr. Zweig also points out that most bull markets begin with a Breadth Thrust.
This version of the Breadth Thrust indicator includes a trigger visualized with red circles, making it easier to spot when the indicator crosses the critical 61.5% level, signaling potential bullish momentum.
All parameters are configurable. You can draw BT for NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, or based on combined data (i.e., AMEX+NYSE+NASD). There is also a "CUSTOM" mode supported, so you can enter your own ADV/DEC symbols.

FREE INDICATOR: CHOPPINESS INDEX "TREND DETECTION FROM CHAOS"About:
The Choppiness Index was created by E.W. Dreiss out of chaos theory, and attempts to gauge the current market's trendiness.
I've seen a few versions of this floating around, but this was built off the true version as described in the original 1993 release, you can read more about it here: www.edwards-magee.com
Usage:
Values above 61.8 are considered very choppy, values below 38.2 are considered very trendy, but values along the entire scale can help you determine position sizing, or even weather you should be getting into this trade or not.
If you are looking for a new way to know weather the market is trending, about to trend, or just going sideways, this very handy indicator for algorithmic trading may be your answer.

Ichimoku Cloud Indicator [TradingFinder] Kinko Hyo Cross Alerts🔵 Introduction
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is one of the most powerful and complete trading indicators in technical analysis. Originally developed by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda, the Ichimoku system combines multiple tools in one indicator, providing traders with instant insights into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum. Unlike simple moving averages (SMA – Simple Moving Average), the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo – Cloud) integrates dynamic elements that help traders forecast potential price action with greater clarity.
The Ichimoku Indicator (Ichimoku Signal System) is widely used across global markets, from Forex trading (FX – Foreign Exchange) to stocks, indices, and even cryptocurrencies. Its popularity comes from its ability to generate clear buy signals and sell signals based on the interaction of its components: Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line), Kijun Sen (Base Line), Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B, and Chikou Span (Lagging Line). When combined, these lines create the Ichimoku Cloud, which visually represents the balance between price action and market structure.
Ichimoku Cloud Lines Formulas :
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen / Conversion Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 9 periods => (9-PH + 9-PL) ÷ 2
Base Line (Kijun Sen / Base Line) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 26 periods => (26-PH + 26-PL) ÷ 2
Leading Span A (Senkou Span A / Leading Span A) : Average of the Conversion Line and Base Line, plotted 26 periods ahead => (Tenkan Sen + Kijun Sen) ÷ 2
Leading Span B (Senkou Span B / Leading Span B) : Average of the highest high and lowest low over the past 52 periods, plotted 26 periods ahead => (52-PH + 52-PL) ÷ 2
Lagging Span (Chikou Span / Lagging Span) : Current closing price, plotted 26 periods behind.
One of the biggest advantages of the Ichimoku Trading Strategy (Ichimoku Cloud Trading System) is that it allows traders to identify the market condition at a glance. When the price is above the Kumo (Cloud), it indicates a bullish trend (uptrend). When the price is below the Kumo, the market is in a bearish trend (downtrend). And when the price is inside the cloud, the market is ranging (sideways trend). This simplicity and visual clarity make Ichimoku an essential indicator for both beginner traders and professional analysts.
The Ichimoku Cloud Indicator (Ichimoku Technical Analysis Tool) continues to be one of the most reliable charting methods. Traders often consider it superior to basic moving averages (MA – Moving Average) or exponential moving averages (EMA – Exponential Moving Average), because it not only shows trend direction but also highlights potential future support and resistance levels. With its unique combination of trend analysis, price forecasting, and trading signals, Ichimoku remains a core strategy in modern trading systems.
🔵 How to Use
The Ichimoku Cloud is more than just a set of lines; it’s a complete trading system that helps traders identify trends, momentum, and key support and resistance levels. By combining its five lines Conversion Line, Base Line, Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and Lagging Span traders can develop clear buy and sell strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Direction
Bullish Trend (Uptrend) : Price is above the cloud (Kumo), and the cloud is green. Leading Span A is above Leading Span B, signaling strong upward momentum.
Bearish Trend (Downtrend) : Price is below the cloud, and the cloud is red. Leading Span A is below Leading Span B, confirming a downward momentum.
Ranging / Sideways Market : Price is inside the cloud, indicating indecision and consolidation. Traders often avoid opening strong positions during these periods.
🟣 Buy Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A buy signal occurs when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses above the Base Line (Kijun Sen). The signal is strongest when this crossover happens above the cloud.
Price Above Base Line : If the price moves above the Base Line while in an uptrend, it confirms bullish momentum and provides a favorable entry point.
Cloud Support Pullback : During a pullback in an uptrend, the price may touch or slightly enter the cloud. Traders can use the cloud as a dynamic support zone for buying opportunities.
Lagging Span Confirmation : Ensure the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is above the price of 26 periods ago to confirm the strength of the bullish trend.
🟣 Sell Strategies
Conversion/Base Line Crossover : A sell signal is generated when the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) crosses below the Base Line (Kijun Sen). This signal is strongest when it occurs below the cloud.
Price Below Base Line : If the price falls below the Base Line in a downtrend, it confirms bearish momentum and strengthens the sell setup.
Cloud Resistance Pullback : During a bounce in a downtrend, the cloud acts as a resistance zone. Traders can enter sell positions when price approaches or touches the cloud from below.
Lagging Span Confirmation : The Lagging Span should be below the price of 26 periods ago, confirming downward momentum.
🟣 Cloud Breakout Signals
A strong buy occurs when the price breaks above the cloud from below, signaling a potential trend reversal.
A strong sell occurs when the price breaks below the cloud from above, indicating a shift toward a bearish trend.
🟣 Combining Signals for Stronger Entries
For higher probability trades, combine multiple signals : trend direction (cloud color and position), crossovers (Tenkan/Kijun), and Lagging Span position.
Avoid trading against the overall trend. For example, avoid buying when price is below a red cloud or selling when price is above a green cloud.
🔵 Setting
Tenkan Sen Period : Lookback period for Conversion Line (default: 9).
Kijun Sen Period : Lookback period for Base Line (default: 26).
Span B Period : Lookback period for Leading Span B, forms one Cloud boundary (default: 52).
Shift Lines : Periods forward for Cloud / backward for Lagging Span (default: 26).
Cross Tenkan/Kijun Alert : Alert on Conversion/Base Line crossover.
Cross Price/Tenkan Alert : Alert when price crosses Tenkan Sen.
Cross Price/Kijun Alert : Alert when price crosses Kijun Sen
🔵 Conclusion
The Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is much more than a simple indicator it is a complete trading system that combines trend detection, momentum analysis, and support/resistance identification in one view. By interpreting the position of price relative to the cloud, the interaction between Tenkan Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun Sen (Base Line), the leading spans (Senkou Span A and B), and the Chikou Span (Lagging Line), traders can identify potential buy and sell opportunities with higher confidence.
The main advantage of the Ichimoku Cloud is its ability to provide a “one-look equilibrium” snapshot of the market. It highlights bullish trends when the price is above the cloud, bearish conditions when the price is below it, and indecision or transition when the price is inside the cloud. Crossovers, cloud breakouts, and confirmations by the Chikou Span strengthen the trading signals.
However, traders should keep in mind the limitations of the Ichimoku system. It is based on historical data and should not be used in isolation. Combining it with other tools such as RSI, volume analysis, or candlestick patterns can significantly improve accuracy and reduce false signals.
Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend - Indicator [presentTrading]This version of the indicator is built upon the foundation of a strategy version published earlier. However, this indicator version focuses on providing visual insights and alerts for traders, rather than executing trades. This one is mostly for @thorcmt.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend Indicator** is a versatile tool designed to provide traders with a highly customizable and flexible approach to trend analysis. Unlike traditional supertrend indicators, which focus on a single factor or threshold, the **FlexiSuperTrend** allows users to define multiple levels of take-profit targets and incorporate different trend normalization methods.
It comes with several advanced customization features, including multi-step take profits, deviation plotting, and trend normalization, making it suitable for both novice and expert traders.
BTCUSD 6hr Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend** works by calculating a supertrend based on multiple factors and incorporating oscillations from trend deviations. Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:
🔶 SuperTrend Calculation
At the heart of the indicator is the SuperTrend formula, which dynamically adjusts based on price movements.
🔶 Normalization of Deviations
To enhance accuracy, the **FlexiSuperTrend** calculates multiple deviations from the trend and normalizes them.
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit Levels
The indicator allows setting up to three take profit levels, which are displayed via price level alerts. lows traders to exit part of their position at various profit intervals.
For more detail, please check the strategy version - Multi-Step-FlexiSuperTrend-Strategy:
and 'FlexiSuperTrend-Strategy'
█ Trade Direction
The **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend Indicator** supports both long and short trade directions.
This flexibility allows traders to adapt to trending, volatile, or sideways markets.
█ Usage
To use the **FlexiSuperTrend Indicator**, traders can set up their preferences for the following key features:
- **Trading Direction**: Choose whether to focus on long, short, or both signals.
- **Indicator Source**: The price source to calculate the trend (e.g., close, hl2).
- **Indicator Length**: The number of periods to calculate the ATR and trend (the larger the value, the smoother the trend).
- **Starting and Increment Factor**: These adjust how reactive the trend is to price movements. The starting factor dictates how far the initial trend band is from the price, and the increment factor adjusts subsequent trend deviations.
The indicator then displays buy and sell signals on the chart, along with alerts for each take-profit level.
Local picture
█ Default Settings
The default settings of the **Multi-Step FlexiSuperTrend** are carefully designed to provide an optimal balance between sensitivity and accuracy. Let’s examine these default parameters and their effect on performance:
🔶 Indicator Length (Default: 10)
The **Indicator Length** determines the lookback period for the ATR calculation. A smaller value makes the indicator more reactive to price changes, but may generate more false signals. A longer length smooths the trend and reduces noise but may delay signals.
Effect on performance: Shorter lengths perform better in volatile markets, while longer lengths excel in trending markets.
🔶 Starting Factor (Default: 0.618)
This factor adjusts the starting distance of the SuperTrend from the current price. The smaller the starting factor, the closer the trend is to the price, making it more sensitive. Conversely, a larger factor allows more distance, reducing sensitivity but filtering out false signals.
Effect on performance: A smaller factor provides quicker signals but can lead to frequent false positives. A larger factor generates fewer but more reliable signals.
🔶 Increment Factor (Default: 0.382)
The **Increment Factor** controls how the trend bands adjust as the price moves. It increases the distance of the bands from the price with each iteration.
Effect on performance: A higher increment factor can result in wider stop-loss or trend reversal bands, allowing for longer trends to develop without frequent exits. A lower factor keeps the bands closer to the price and is more suited for shorter-term trades.
🔶 Take Profit Levels (Default: 2%, 8%, 18%)
The default take-profit levels are set at 2%, 8%, and 18%. These values represent the thresholds at which the trader can partially exit their positions. These multi-step levels are highly customizable depending on the trader’s risk tolerance and strategy.
Effect on performance: Lower take-profit levels (e.g., 2%) capture small, quick profits in volatile markets, while higher levels (8%-18%) allow for a more gradual exit in strong trends.
🔶 Normalization Method (Default: None)
The default normalization method is **None**, meaning the deviations are not normalized. However, enabling normalization (e.g., **Max-Min**) can improve the clarity of the indicator’s signals in volatile or choppy markets by smoothing out the noise.
Effect on performance: Using a normalization method can reduce the effect of extreme deviations, making signals more stable and less prone to false positives.
Drawdown Dynamics IndicatorDescription :
The Drawdown Dynamics Indicator is a straightforward tool that offers insights into three critical aspects of an asset’s financial performance: Total Max Drawdown, Rolling Period Max Drawdown, and Current Max Drawdown. Inside of the indicator, you can select to view either the rolling period max drawdown or the all-time max drawdown. This is represented by the gray line. The blue line represents the asset's current drawdown.
Rolling Period Max Drawdown is more about a snapshot view, highlighting the maximum loss from a peak to a trough for an adjustable rolling time frame. This is a feature not available with other indicators that exist on TradingView.
Total Max Drawdown gives a broad view, showcasing the all-time deepest decline in an asset’s value.
Current Max Drawdown offers a live update, focusing on the asset's present phase and how it's performing in real-time.
Practical Uses :
The utility of this indicator becomes evident when you start exploring the risks and performance metrics of assets. A notable use of this indicator is in comparing the drawdowns of a trading strategy against the inherent drawdowns of an asset. It helps in painting a clearer picture of risk and performance of both the asset and the strategy.
Risk Understanding : By comparing the strategy drawdown to the asset drawdown, traders get to understand if the risk they’re taking aligns with the asset’s natural risk behavior.
Evaluating Strategy’s Strength : If a strategy can weather the storms of the asset's natural drawdown phases and come out relatively unscathed, it can speak to its strength.
Performance Comparison : It also acts as a benchmark tool. Traders can pit different strategies against each other, using the asset’s drawdown as a baseline, to see which one manages risks better.
Disclaimer : This is not financial advice. Open-source scripts I publish in the community are largely meant to spark ideas that can be used as building blocks for part of a more robust trade management strategy. If you would like to implement a version of any script, I would recommend making significant additions/modifications to the strategy & risk management functions. If you don’t know how to program in Pine, then hire a Pine-coder. We can help!

Fear And Greed IndicatorThe Fear And Greed Indicator is a very popular indicator on the Bloomberg platform and since I didn't have actual source code to work with, this is a very close approximation of that indicator. Let me know if you spot any discrepancies with the original and I will do my best to fix them.
For buy and sell signals it is pretty straightforward. Just buy when the green (greed) is in control and sell when the fear (red) is in control
This was a special request so let me know if you want to see more scripts from me or if you want something custom!
