Dickey-Fuller Test for Mean Reversion and Stationarity **IF YOU NEED EXTRA SPECIAL HELP UNDERSTANDING THIS INDICATOR, GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DESCRIPTION FOR AN EVEN SIMPLER DESCRIPTION**
Dickey Fuller Test:
The Dickey-Fuller test is a statistical test used to determine whether a time series is stationary or has a unit root (a characteristic of a time series that makes it non-stationary), indicating that it is non-stationary. Stationarity means that the statistical properties of a time series, such as mean and variance, are constant over time. The test checks to see if the time series is mean-reverting or not. Many traders falsely assume that raw stock prices are mean-reverting when they are not, as evidenced by many different types of statistical models that show how stock prices are almost always positively autocorrelated or statistical tests like this one, which show that stock prices are not stationary.
Note: This indicator uses past results, and the results will always be changing as new data comes in. Just because it's stationary during a rare occurrence doesn't mean it will always be stationary. Especially in price, where this would be a rare occurrence on this test. (The Test Statistic is below the critical value.)
The indicator also shows the option to either choose Raw Price, Simple Returns, or Log Returns for the test.
Raw Prices:
Stock prices are usually non-stationary because they follow some type of random walk, exhibiting positive autocorrelation and trends in the long term.
The Dickey-Fuller test on raw prices will indicate non-stationary most of the time since prices are expected to have a unit root. (If the test statistic is higher than the critical value, it suggests the presence of a unit root, confirming non-stationarity.)
Simple Returns and Log Returns:
Simple and log returns are more stationary than prices, if not completely stationary, because they measure relative changes rather than absolute levels.
This test on simple and log returns may indicate stationary behavior, especially over longer periods. (The test statistic being below the critical value suggests the absence of a unit root, indicating stationarity.)
Null Hypothesis (H0): The time series has a unit root (it is non-stationary).
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The time series does not have a unit root (it is stationary)
Interpretation: If the test statistic is less than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the time series is stationary.
Types of Dickey-Fuller Tests:
1. (What this indicator uses) Standard Dickey-Fuller Test:
Tests the null hypothesis that a unit root is present in a simple autoregressive model.
This test is used for simple cases where we just want to check if the series has a consistent statistical property over time without considering any trends or additional complexities.
It examines the relationship between the current value of the series and its previous value to see if the series tends to drift over time or revert to the mean.
2. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test:
Tests for a unit root while accounting for more complex structures like trends and higher-order correlations in the data.
This test is more robust and is used when the time series has trends or other patterns that need to be considered.
It extends the regular test by including additional terms to account for the complexities, and this test may be more reliable than the regular Dickey-Fuller Test.
For things like stock prices, the ADF would be more appropriate because stock prices are almost always trending and positively autocorrelated, while the Dickey-Fuller Test is more appropriate for more simple time series.
Critical Values
This indicator uses the following critical values that are essential for interpreting the Dickey-Fuller test results. The critical values depend on the chosen significance levels:
1% Significance Level: Critical value of -3.43.
5% Significance Level: Critical value of -2.86.
10% Significance Level: Critical value of -2.57.
These critical values are thresholds that help determine whether to reject the null hypothesis of a unit root (non-stationarity). If the test statistic is less than (or more negative than) the critical value, it indicates that the time series is stationary. Conversely, if the test statistic is greater than the critical value, the series is considered non-stationary.
This indicator uses a dotted blue line by default to show the critical value. If the test-static, which is the gray column, goes below the critical value, then the test-static will become yellow, and the test will indicate that the time series is stationary or mean reverting for the current period of time.
What does this mean?
This is the weekly chart of BTCUSD with the Dickey-Fuller Test, with a length of 100 and a critical value of 1%.
So basically, in the long term, mean-reversion strategies that involve raw prices are not a good idea. You don't really need a statistical test either for this; just from seeing the chart itself, you can see that prices in the long term are trending and no mean reversion is present.
For the people who can't understand that the gray column being above the blue dotted line means price doesn't mean revert, here is a more simple description (you know you are):
Average (I have to include the meaning because they may not know what average is): The middle number is when you add up all the numbers and then divide by how many numbers there are. EX: If you have the numbers 2, 4, and 6, you add them up to get 12, and then divide by 3 (because there are 3 numbers), so the average is 4. It tells you what a typical number is in a group of numbers.
This indicator checks if a time series (like stock prices) tends to return to its average value or time.
Raw prices, which is just the regular price chart, are usually not mean-reverting (It's "always" positively autocorrelating but this group of people doesn't like that word). Price follows trends.
Simple returns and log returns are more likely to have periods of mean reversion.
How to use it:
Gray Column (the gray bars) Above the Blue Dotted Line: The price does not mean revert (non-stationary).
Gray Column Below Blue Line: The time series mean reverts (stationary)
So, if the test statistic (gray column) is below the critical value, which is the blue dotted line, then the series is stationary and mean reverting, but if it is above the blue dotted line, then the time series is not stationary or mean reverting, and strategies involving mean reversion will most likely result in a loss given enough occurrences.

BBTrend w SuperTrend decision - Strategy [presentTrading]This strategy aims to improve upon the performance of Traidngview's newly published "BB Trend" indicator by incorporating the SuperTrend for better trade execution and risk management. Enjoy :)
█Introduction and How it is Different
The "BBTrend w SuperTrend decision - Strategy " is a trading strategy designed to identify market trends using Bollinger Bands and SuperTrend indicators. What sets this strategy apart is its use of two Bollinger Bands with different lengths to capture both short-term and long-term market trends, providing a more comprehensive view of market dynamics. Additionally, the strategy includes customizable take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) settings, allowing traders to tailor their risk management according to their preferences.
BTCUSD 4h Long Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The BBTrend strategy employs two key indicators: Bollinger Bands and SuperTrend.
🔶 Bollinger Bands Calculation:
- Short Bollinger Bands**: Calculated using a shorter period (default 20).
- Long Bollinger Bands**: Calculated using a longer period (default 50).
- Bollinger Bands use the standard deviation of price data to create upper and lower bands around a moving average.
Upper Band = Middle Band + (k * Standard Deviation)
Lower Band = Middle Band - (k * Standard Deviation)
🔶 BBTrend Indicator:
- The BBTrend indicator is derived from the absolute differences between the short and long Bollinger Bands' lower and upper values.
BBTrend = (|Short Lower - Long Lower| - |Short Upper - Long Upper|) / Short Middle * 100
🔶 SuperTrend Indicator:
- The SuperTrend indicator is calculated using the average true range (ATR) and a multiplier. It helps identify the market trend direction by plotting levels above and below the price, which act as dynamic support and resistance levels. * @EliCobra makes the SuperTrend Toolkit. He is GOAT.
SuperTrend Upper = HL2 + (Factor * ATR)
SuperTrend Lower = HL2 - (Factor * ATR)
The strategy determines market trends by checking if the close price is above or below the SuperTrend values:
- Uptrend: Close price is above the SuperTrend lower band.
- Downtrend: Close price is below the SuperTrend upper band.
Short: 10 Long: 20 std 2
Short: 20 Long: 40 std 2
Short: 20 Long: 40 std 4
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows traders to choose their trading direction:
- Long: Enter long positions only.
- Short: Enter short positions only.
- Both: Enter both long and short positions based on market conditions.
█ Usage
To use the "BBTrend - Strategy " effectively:
1. Configure Inputs: Adjust the Bollinger Bands lengths, standard deviation multiplier, and SuperTrend settings.
2. Set TPSL Conditions: Choose the take profit and stop loss percentages to manage risk.
3. Choose Trade Direction: Decide whether to trade long, short, or both directions.
4. Apply Strategy: Apply the strategy to your chart and monitor the signals for potential trades.
█ Default Settings
The default settings are designed to provide a balance between sensitivity and stability:
- Short BB Length (20): Captures short-term market trends.
- Long BB Length (50): Captures long-term market trends.
- StdDev (2.0): Determines the width of the Bollinger Bands.
- SuperTrend Length (10): Period for calculating the ATR.
- SuperTrend Factor (12): Multiplier for the ATR to adjust the SuperTrend sensitivity.
- Take Profit (30%): Sets the level at which profits are taken.
- Stop Loss (20%): Sets the level at which losses are cut to manage risk.
Effect on Performance
- Short BB Length: A shorter length makes the strategy more responsive to recent price changes but can generate more false signals.
- Long BB Length: A longer length provides smoother trend signals but may be slower to react to price changes.
- StdDev: Higher values create wider bands, reducing the frequency of signals but increasing their reliability.
- SuperTrend Length and Factor: Shorter lengths and higher factors make the SuperTrend more sensitive, providing quicker signals but potentially more noise.
- Take Profit and Stop Loss: Adjusting these levels affects the risk-reward ratio. Higher take profit percentages can increase gains but may result in fewer closed trades, while higher stop loss percentages can decrease the likelihood of being stopped out but increase potential losses.
Leading MACDThe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is one of the most popular and versatile tools used by traders to identify potential buy and sell signals. It helps traders determine the strength and direction of a trend by comparing different moving averages of a security's price. The traditional MACD uses two exponential moving averages (EMAs), a fast EMA (typically 12 periods) and a slow EMA (typically 26 periods), along with a signal line (typically a 9-period EMA of the MACD line) to generate trading signals.
Our "Custom MACD with Leading Length" script for TradingView enhances the traditional MACD by introducing an additional smoothing factor called the "leading length." This customization aims to reduce noise and provide a potentially earlier indication of trend changes, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to optimize their trading strategies.
- **Purpose:** This additional smoothing factor is designed to reduce noise and provide a potentially leading signal, enhancing the accuracy of trend identification.
## How It Works
1. **Calculate the MACD Line:**
The MACD line is calculated by subtracting the slow EMA from the fast EMA. This difference represents the convergence or divergence between the two EMAs.
2. **Calculate the Signal Line:**
The signal line is an EMA of the MACD line. This additional smoothing helps to generate clearer buy and sell signals based on crossovers with the MACD line.
3. **Calculate the Histogram:**
The histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line. It visually indicates the strength and direction of the trend. A positive histogram suggests a bullish trend, while a negative histogram indicates a bearish trend.
4. **Apply Leading Length Smoothing:**
To incorporate the leading length, the script applies a simple moving average (SMA) to both the MACD and signal lines using the leading length parameter. This additional smoothing helps to further reduce noise and potentially provides earlier signals of trend changes.
## Benefits of the Leading MACD
### Reduced Noise
The leading length parameter adds an extra layer of smoothing to the MACD and signal lines, helping to filter out market noise. This can be particularly beneficial in volatile markets, where frequent price fluctuations can generate false signals.
### Potential Early Signals
By smoothing the MACD and signal lines, the leading length can help to provide earlier indications of trend changes. This can give traders a potential edge in entering or exiting trades before the broader market reacts.
### Enhanced Trend Identification
The combination of the traditional MACD with the leading length smoothing can enhance the accuracy of trend identification. Traders can use this tool to confirm the strength and direction of trends, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
### Versatility
The Custom MACD with Leading Length can be applied to various timeframes and asset classes, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Its adaptability makes it a valuable tool for traders with different strategies and preferences.
## Practical Applications
### Buy Signal
A typical buy signal occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line. With the additional smoothing provided by the leading length, traders might receive this signal slightly earlier, allowing them to enter a long position sooner. This can be particularly advantageous in capturing the beginning of a bullish trend.
### Sell Signal
Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line crosses below the signal line. The leading length smoothing can help to provide this signal earlier, enabling traders to exit a long position or enter a short position before the trend reversal is fully recognized by the market.
### Divergence Analysis
Traders can also use the Custom MACD with Leading Length for divergence analysis. Bullish divergence occurs when the price makes a new low, but the MACD line forms a higher low. This suggests that the downward momentum is weakening, potentially leading to a bullish reversal. Bearish divergence is the opposite, where the price makes a new high, but the MACD line forms a lower high, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
### Confirmation Tool
The Custom MACD with Leading Length can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm trading signals. For example, traders might use it alongside support and resistance levels, trendlines, or other momentum indicators to validate their trade entries and exits.
## Conclusion
The Custom MACD with Leading Length is a powerful enhancement of the traditional MACD indicator. By introducing an additional smoothing factor, it aims to reduce noise and provide earlier signals of trend changes. This makes it a valuable tool for traders seeking to improve their market analysis and trading strategies.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the Custom MACD with Leading Length can help you make more informed decisions by offering clearer insights into market trends. Its adaptability to different timeframes and asset classes further enhances its utility, making it a versatile addition to any trader's toolkit.
Experiment with the parameters to find the optimal settings that suit your trading style and preferences. Use the Custom MACD with Leading Length to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and enhance your trading performance.

[Comparative CPI SGM]Code Explanation
User Inputs:
len: Defines the period over which CPI changes are calculated, with selectable options of 12, 6, and 3 months.
CP1 and CP2: These are the economic zones whose CPI data are being compared. The options include CPI from various regions like the EU, USA, UK, etc.
Calculating and Comparing Changes:
Calculates the annual change for each CPI and then computes the difference between these two changes.
Trading Utility
In trading, CPI variations are key indicators of inflation within different economic regions. Monetary policy decisions by central banks, heavily influenced by these data, significantly impact financial markets, especially in forex and bond markets.
Monetary Policy Forecasting:
If inflation in one region is significantly higher than in another, the central bank might raise interest rates, potentially strengthening that region's currency.
Currency Trading Strategy:
Traders might use this indicator to speculate on currency pair movements. For example, if US CPI is rising faster than the EU CPI, this might suggest a potential appreciation of the USD against the EUR.
Macroeconomic Analysis:
Understanding where inflation pressures are strongest can guide longer-term investment decisions, such as choosing between emerging and developed markets.
Volume Delta [hapharmonic]Volume Delta: Volume Delta is an indicator that simplifies how you analyze trading volumes and the percentage of buy-sell activities effortlessly.
As a trader or market analyst, understanding underlying volume and trade flows is critical. The Volume Delta indicator provides thorough insight into both the total volume and the percentage of buying versus selling within the current candlestick. This information is pivotal for those looking to gauge market momentum and sentiment more effectively.
Additionally, the Volume Delta indicator can plot the candlestick colors based on the percentage of the dominant buying or selling volume. The area between the open and close prices of the candlestick is considered 100% and fills with colors corresponding to the predominant volume at that percentage.
Volume Delta also integrates the concept of Net volume. This component is crucial as it reveals the real market sentiment by calculating the difference between the volume of trades executed at an uptick and those at a downtick.
🟠 Overview
This indicator now displays in two layouts. Recently, Tradingview introduced the "force_overlay=true" function in Pine Script , allowing plots to be moved to the main chart. Thus, all displays are from the same indicator.
🟠 USAGE
From the data displayed in 'plot.style_columns' , the peak area represents the entire volume, accounting for 100%. Within this area, there are two color levels indicating volume. If one type of volume, whether buying or selling, exceeds the other, the larger volume will be positioned behind and the smaller in front. This arrangement prevents the scenario where a higher buying volume obscures the smaller selling volume. Therefore, the two colors can be switched between the front and the back as needed.
As you can see, the 12 and 26-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are used, with the Volume Confirmation Length set at 6. Therefore, the crossing of the EMAs proceeds normally, but it is highlighted with three triangular arrows to indicate a high likelihood of a valid crossover. However, if the volume is insufficient, these markers won't be displayed, although the EMA crossover will still occur as usual. This can be useful for using volume to verify the significance of the EMA crossover.
🟠 Setting
If you enable the label, please be aware that the chart size will shrink, causing the candlestick display to become unclear. Therefore, you might need to select "Logarithmic" at the bottom right of your screen, or for mobile applications, press and hold on the price scale and choose "Logarithmic" to adjust the scale appropriately.
Enjoy!
Movement based on Buying/Selling VolumeDescription:
The "Buying Selling Volume" indicator calculates buying and selling volumes based on price movements within a specified lookback period. It then computes exponential moving averages (EMAs) of these volumes to determine trend direction. The indicator visually represents trend direction on the chart.
Volume Calculation and Normalization (Lines #1 - #12):
The indicator first computes the buying volume (BV) and selling volume (SV) based on price movements within the specified lookback period. These volumes are calculated proportionally to the distance between the closing price and the high and low of each candle.
To ensure consistent behavior and prevent division by zero, the volumes are normalized using a conditional statement to handle cases where the high and low are equal, which implies a lack of price movement.
Additionally, the volume (vol) is normalized to ensure non-zero division in subsequent calculations.
Total Volume and Proportional Volume Calculation (Lines #13 - #20):
The total volume (TP) is computed by summing the buying and selling volumes.
The proportional buying volume (BPV) and selling volume (SPV) are then calculated based on their respective contributions to the total volume.
These proportional volumes are scaled by the total volume to ensure accurate representation relative to market activity.
Evaluating Buying and Selling Pressure (Lines #21 - #24):
The code segment assigns positive or negative values to represent buying and selling pressure, respectively, based on the comparison between BPV and SPV. This step involves determining whether the buying pressure exceeds the selling pressure or vice versa.
The calculated values, denoted as BPc1 and SPc1, encapsulate the relative strength of buying and selling forces within the market.
EMA Calculation and Trend Identification (Lines #25 - #32):
The BPc1 and SPc1 values are subjected to exponential moving average (EMA) calculations using the specified lookback period (LookbackL). This process involves smoothing out the buying and selling pressure data to reveal underlying trends.
The resulting EMAs, represented by ema1B and ema1S, serve as crucial indicators of trend direction. A bullish trend is indicated when ema1B exceeds ema1S, while a bearish trend is signaled when ema1B falls below ema1S.
Secondary Volume Analysis and Trend Confirmation (Lines #33 - #42):
A similar volume analysis and EMA calculation process is repeated in this segment, using a different lookback period (LookbackL2). This allows for a secondary assessment of market dynamics and trend direction.
The resulting EMAs, denoted as ema1B2 and ema1S2, are compared to validate the trend direction identified in the primary analysis.
Visual Representation and Trend Display (Lines #43 - #46):
Finally, the indicator visualizes the identified trends on the chart by plotting colored shapes based on the comparison between the primary and secondary trend directions.
A green color indicates alignment in bullish trends, a red color signifies alignment in bearish trends, while a neutral color (gray) represents no clear consensus between the primary and secondary analyses.
Ideal Usage:
1. **Trend Confirmation:** Traders can use this indicator to confirm trend direction before entering trades.
2. **Reversal Signals:** Changes in trend direction, indicated by shifts in plotted shape colors, can signal potential market reversals.
Warnings:
1. **False Signals:** Like any technical indicator, false signals may occur, especially during low-volume or choppy market conditions. Additional analysis and risk management techniques are essential to mitigate potential losses.
2. **Parameter Sensitivity:** Adjusting lookback periods can impact the indicator's sensitivity to price movements. Traders should test different parameter settings and consider market conditions when using the indicator.
Kalman Filter Volume Bands by TenozenHello there! I am excited to introduce a new original indicator, the Kalman Filter Volume Bands. This indicator is calculated using the Kalman Filter, which is an adaptive-based smoothing quantitative tool. The Kalman Filter Volume Bands have two components that support the calculation, namely VWAP and VaR.
VWAP is used to determine the weight of the Kalman Filter Returns, but it doesn't have a significant impact on the calculation. On the other hand, VaR or Value at risk is calculated using the 99th percentile, which means that there is a 1% chance for the returns to exceed the 99th percentile level. After getting the VaR value, I manually adjust the bands based on the current market I'm trading on. I take the highest point (VaR*2) and the lowest point (-(VaR*2)) from the Kalman Filter, and then divide them into segments manually based on my preference.
This process results in 8 segments, where 2 segments near the Kalman Filter are further divided, making a total of 12 segments. These segments classify the current state of the price based on code-based coloring. The five states are very bullish, bullish, very bearish, bearish, and neutral.
I created this indicator to have an adaptive band that is not biased toward the volatility of the market. Most band-based indicators don't capture reversals that well, but the Kalman Filter Volume Bands can capture both trends and reversals. This makes it suitable for both trend-following and reversal trading approaches.
That's all for the explanation! Ciao!

US CPIIntroducing "US CPI" Indicator
The "US CPI" indicator, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the United States, is a valuable tool for analyzing inflation trends in the U.S. economy. This indicator is derived from official data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and is widely recognized as a key measure of inflationary pressures.
What is CPI?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the average change in prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services over time. It is an essential economic indicator used to gauge inflationary trends and assess changes in the cost of living.
How is "US CPI" Calculated?
The "US CPI" indicator in this script retrieves CPI data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) using the FRED:CPIAUCSL symbol. It calculates the rate of change in CPI over a specified period (typically 12 months) and applies technical analysis tools like moving averages (SMA and EMA) for trend analysis and smoothing.
Why Use "US CPI" Indicator?
1. Inflation Analysis: Monitoring CPI trends provides insights into the rate of inflation, which is crucial for understanding the overall economic health and potential impact on monetary policy.
2. Policy Implications: Changes in CPI influence decisions by policymakers, central banks, and investors regarding interest rates, fiscal policies, and asset allocation.
3. Market Sentiment: CPI data often impacts market sentiment, influencing trading strategies across various asset classes including currencies, bonds, and equities.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Smoothing: The indicator allows users to apply exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing to CPI data for clearer trend identification.
2. Visual Representation: The plotted line visually represents the inflation rate based on CPI data, helping traders and analysts assess inflationary pressures at a glance.
Sources and Data Integrity:
The CPI data used in this indicator is sourced directly from FRED, ensuring reliability and accuracy. The script incorporates robust security protocols to handle data requests and maintain data integrity in a trading environment.
In conclusion, the "US CPI" indicator offers a comprehensive view of inflation dynamics in the U.S. economy, providing traders, economists, and policymakers with valuable insights for informed decision-making and risk management.

MTF BB+KC Avg
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely used technical analysis created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to instrument prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (The type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). This indicator does not plot the middle line. The Upper and Lower Bands are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the middle line, however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted in the indicator.
Keltner Channels (KC) are banded lines similar to Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Envelopes. They consist of an Upper Envelope above a Middle Line (not plotted in this indicator) as well as a Lower Envelope below the Middle Line. The Middle Line is a moving average of price over a user-defined time period. Either a simple moving average or an exponential moving average are typically used. The Upper and Lower Envelopes are set a (user-defined multiple) of a range away from the Middle Line. This can be a multiple of the daily high/low range, or more commonly a multiple of the Average True Range.
This indicator is built on AVERAGING the BB and KC values for each bar, so you have an efficient metric of AVERAGE volatility. The indicator visualizes changes in volatility which is of course dynamic.
What to look for
High/Low Prices
One thing that must be understood about this indicator's plots is that it averages by adding BB levels to KC levels and dividing by 2. So the plots provide a relative definition of high and low from two very popular indicators. Prices are almost always within the upper and lower bands. Therefore, when prices move up near the upper or lower bands or even break through the band, many traders would see that price action as OVER-EXTENDED (either overbought or oversold, as applicable). This would preset a possible selling or buying opportunity.
Cycling Between Expansion and Contraction
Volatility can generally be seen as a cycle. Typically periods of time with low volatility and steady or sideways prices (known as contraction) are followed by period of expansion. Expansion is a period of time characterized by high volatility and moving prices. Periods of expansion are then generally followed by periods of contraction. It is a cycle in which traders can be better prepared to navigate by using Bollinger Bands because of the indicators ability to monitor ever changing volatility.
Walking the Bands
Of course, just like with any indicator, there are exceptions to every rule and plenty of examples where what is expected to happen, does not happen. Previously, it was mentioned that price breaking above the Upper Band or breaking below the Lower band could signify a selling or buying opportunity respectively. However this is not always the case. “Walking the Bands” can occur in either a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend.
During a strong uptrend, there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the Upper Band. Each time that this occurs, it is not a sell signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move. Likewise during a strong downtrend there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the Lower Band. Each time that this occurs, it is not a buy signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move.
Keep in mind that instances of “Walking the Bands” will only occur in strong, defined uptrends or downtrends.
Inputs
TimeFrame
You can select any timeframe froom 1 minute to 12 months for the bar measured.
Length of the internal moving averages
You can select the period of time to be used in calculating the moving averages which create the base for the Upper and Lower Bands. 20 days is the default.
Basis MA Type
Determines the type of Moving Average that is applied to the basis plot line. Default is SMA and you can select EMA.
Source
Determines what data from each bar will be used in calculations. Close is the default.
StdDev/Multiplier
The number of Standard Deviations (for BB) or Multiplier (for KC) away from the moving averages that the Upper and Lower Bands should be. 2 is the default value for each indicator.
Multi-time Frame Trend DirectionThis is a multi-time frame trend direction indicator. It indicates whether the trend is ascending or descending across multiple time frames: 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, and Daily.
The logic is based on the positions of EMA12 and EMA26.
These EMAs are smoothed with an SMA.
Why 12 and 26, and why are they smoothed with 9?
As you might surmise, these parameters are derived from the MACD.
I recommend not altering the parameters, but the choice is yours. Enjoy.
ICT Silver Bullet Vertical Lines by Fahmi EshaqThis indicator is designed for users interested in backtesting the Silver Bullet strategy. It eliminates the need for manual drawing of vertical lines by automatically highlighting specific times known as ICT Silver Bullet times. These times correspond to periods when smart money are active the market. The indicator marks these Silver Bullet times with vertical lines, making them easily identifiable. The specified Silver Bullet times are 3AM-4AM, 10AM-11AM, and 2PM-3PM New York time. Additionally, a vertical line is added at 12:00AM to demarcate the start of each day, as days begin at midnight.
ka66: Externally-Sourced MACDThis indicator generalises the idea of MACD to take any arbitrary series available on the chart, using input.source values .
To provide an overview of the MACD indicator:
You have two EMAs, one with a faster period, usually 12, another with a slower period, usually 26.
You calculate a MACD line, by doing (fastEMA - slowEMA)
You then calculate a Signal Line by taking a moving average of the MACD line over some period.
With this indicator, you can analyse momentum between any 2 series (not just EMAs), they could be raw close prices, other moving averages on the chart including specialised ones, that most MACD implementations won't provide a facility for, for example Kaufman Moving Average.
The chart shows this indicator sourcing 2 inputs from the chart:
A Hull Moving Average as the fast series
And a Simple Moving Average as the slow series
It then calculates the MACD (Series1 - Series2), and a Signal line from the resulting MACD.
A signal series is still calculated manually by the indicator, and thus will be restricted to the provided moving average options (this indicator provides a few like EMA, SMA, Hull, and so on).
Uses of this indicator are essentially what you will use a MACD for:
Evaluate momentum of a strength.
Crossover Signals: MACD vs. Signal, MACD vs. Zero Line, MACD Histogram gradation.
Evaluate overbought/oversold conditions.
As a low-resolution view to confirm price action.
Divergences
AWR - Chris - V3Calculates the AWR based on Dr. Coles formula. Takes the last 12 weeks (not including the current one) highs and lows, adds them and then divides by twelve, give the average weekly range. Then takes the AWR and show the playing field based on the high and low of the current weekly candle. Must be used on the weekly chart to get the data needed then manually plot your lines on the required charts.
Statistics • Chi Square • P-value • SignificanceThe Statistics • Chi Square • P-value • Significance publication aims to provide a tool for combining different conditions and checking whether the outcome is significant using the Chi-Square Test and P-value.
🔶 USAGE
The basic principle is to compare two or more groups and check the results of a query test, such as asking men and women whether they want to see a romantic or non-romantic movie.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
| | ROMANTIC | NON-ROMANTIC | ⬅︎ MOVIE |
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
| MEN | 2 | 8 | 10 |
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
| WOMEN | 7 | 3 | 10 |
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
|⬆︎ SEX | 10 | 10 | 20 |
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
We calculate the Chi-Square Formula, which is:
Χ² = Σ ( (Observed Value − Expected Value)² / Expected Value )
In this publication, this is:
chiSquare = 0.
for i = 0 to rows -1
for j = 0 to colums -1
observedValue = aBin.get(i).aFloat.get(j)
expectedValue = math.max(1e-12, aBin.get(i).aFloat.get(colums) * aBin.get(rows).aFloat.get(j) / sumT) //Division by 0 protection
chiSquare += math.pow(observedValue - expectedValue, 2) / expectedValue
Together with the 'Degree of Freedom', which is (rows − 1) × (columns − 1) , the P-value can be calculated.
In this case it is P-value: 0.02462
A P-value lower than 0.05 is considered to be significant. Statistically, women tend to choose a romantic movie more, while men prefer a non-romantic one.
Users have the option to choose a P-value, calculated from a standard table or through a math.ucla.edu - Javascript-based function (see references below).
Note that the population (10 men + 10 women = 20) is small, something to consider.
Either way, this principle is applied in the script, where conditions can be chosen like rsi, close, high, ...
🔹 CONDITION
Conditions are added to the left column ('CONDITION')
For example, previous rsi values (rsi ) between 0-100, divided in separate groups
🔹 CLOSE
Then, the movement of the last close is evaluated
UP when close is higher then previous close (close )
DOWN when close is lower then previous close
EQUAL when close is equal then previous close
It is also possible to use only 2 columns by adding EQUAL to UP or DOWN
UP
DOWN/EQUAL
or
UP/EQUAL
DOWN
In other words, when previous rsi value was between 80 and 90, this resulted in:
19 times a current close higher than previous close
14 times a current close lower than previous close
0 times a current close equal than previous close
However, the P-value tells us it is not statistical significant.
NOTE: Always keep in mind that past behaviour gives no certainty about future behaviour.
A vertical line is drawn at the beginning of the chosen population (max 4990)
Here, the results seem significant.
🔹 GROUPS
It is important to ensure that the groups are formed correctly. All possibilities should be present, and conditions should only be part of 1 group.
In the example above, the two top situations are acceptable; close against close can only be higher, lower or equal.
The two examples at the bottom, however, are very poorly constructed.
Several conditions can be placed in more than 1 group, and some conditions are not integrated into a group. Even if the results are significant, they are useless because of the group formation.
A population count is added as an aid to spot errors in group formation.
In this example, there is a discrepancy between the population and total count due to the absence of a condition.
The results when rsi was between 5-25 are not included, resulting in unreliable results.
🔹 PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
In this example, we have specific groups where the condition only applies to that group.
For example, the condition rsi > 55 and rsi <= 65 isn't true in another group.
Also, every possible rsi value (0 - 100) is present in 1 of the groups.
rsi > 15 and rsi <= 25 28 times UP, 19 times DOWN and 2 times EQUAL. P-value: 0.01171
When looking in detail and examining the area 15-25 RSI, we see this:
The population is now not representative (only checking for RSI between 15-25; all other RSI values are not included), so we can ignore the P-value in this case. It is merely to check in detail. In this case, the RSI values 23 and 24 seem promising.
NOTE: We should check what the close price did without any condition.
If, for example, the close price had risen 100 times out of 100, this would make things very relative.
In this case (at least two conditions need to be present), we set 1 condition at 'always true' and another at 'always false' so we'll get only the close values without any condition:
Changing the population or the conditions will change the P-value.
In the following example, the outcome is evaluated when:
close value from 1 bar back is higher than the close value from 2 bars back
close value from 1 bar back is lower/equal than the close value from 2 bars back
Or:
close value from 1 bar back is higher than the close value from 2 bars back
close value from 1 bar back is equal than the close value from 2 bars back
close value from 1 bar back is lower than the close value from 2 bars back
In both examples, all possibilities of close against close are included in the calculations. close can only by higher, equal or lower than close
Both examples have the results without a condition included (5 = 5 and 5 < 5) so one can compare the direction of current close.
🔶 NOTES
• Always keep in mind that:
Past behaviour gives no certainty about future behaviour.
Everything depends on time, cycles, events, fundamentals, technicals, ...
• This test only works for categorical data (data in categories), such as Gender {Men, Women} or color {Red, Yellow, Green, Blue} etc., but not numerical data such as height or weight. One might argue that such tests shouldn't use rsi, close, ... values.
• Consider what you're measuring
For example rsi of the current bar will always lead to a close higher than the previous close, since this is inherent to the rsi calculations.
• Be careful; often, there are na -values at the beginning of the series, which are not included in the calculations!
• Always keep in mind considering what the close price did without any condition
• The numbers must be large enough. Each entry must be five or more. In other words, it is vital to make the 'population' large enough.
• The code can be developed further, for example, by splitting UP, DOWN in close UP 1-2%, close UP 2-3%, close UP 3-4%, ...
• rsi can be supplemented with stochRSI, MFI, sma, ema, ...
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Population
• Choose the population size; in other words, how many bars you want to go back to. If fewer bars are available than set, this will be automatically adjusted.

How to force strategies fire exit alerts not reversalsPineScript has gone a long way, from very simple and little-capable scripting language to a robust coding platform with reliable execution endpoints. However, this one small intuitivity glitch is still there and is likely to stay, because it is traditionally justified and quite intuitive for significant group of traders. I'm sharing this workaround in response to frequent inquiries about it.
What's the glitch? When setting alerts on strategies to be synchronized with TradingView's Strategy Tester events, using simple alert messages such as "buy" or "sell" based on entry direction seems straightforward by inserting {{strategy.order.action}} into the Create Alert's "Message" field. Because "buy" or "sell" are exactly the strings produced by {{strategy.order.action}} placeholder. However, complications arise when attempting to EXIT positions without reversing, whether triggered by price levels like Stop Loss or Take Profit, or logical conditions to close trades. Those bricks fall apart, because on such events {{strategy.order.action}} sends the same "sell" for exiting buy positions and "buy" for exiting sell positions, instead of something more differentiating like "closebuy" or "closesell". As a result reversal trades are opened, instead of simply closing the open ones.
This convention harkens back to traditional stock market practices, where traders either bought shares to enter positions or sold them to exit. However, modern trading encompasses diverse instruments like CFDs, indices, and Forex, alongside advanced features such as Stop Loss, reshaping the landscape. Despite these advancements, the traditional nomenclature persists.
And is poised to stay on TradingView as well, so we need a workaround to get a simple strategy going. Luckily it is here and is called alert_message . It is a parameter, which needs to be added into each strategy.entry() / strategy.exit() / strategy.close() function call - each call, which causes Strategy Tester to produce entry or exit orders. As in this example script:
line 12: strategy.entry(... alert_message ="buy")
line 14: strategy.entry(... alert_message ="sell")
line 19: strategy.exit(... alert_message ="closebuy")
line 20: strategy.exit(... alert_message ="closesell")
line 24: strategy.close(... alert_message ="closebuy")
line 26: strategy.close(... alert_message ="closesell")
These alert messages are compatible with the Alerts Syntax of TradingConnector - a tool facilitating auto-execution of TradingView alerts in MetaTrader 4 or 5. Yes, simple alert messages like "buy" / "sell" / "closebuy" / "closesell" suffice to carry the execution of simple strategy, without complex JSON files with multiple ids and such. Other parameters can be added (actually plenty), but they are only option and that's not a part of this story :)
Last thing left to do is to replace "Message" in Create Alert popup with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} . This placeholder transmits the string defined in the PineScript alert_message= parameter, as outlined in this publication. With this workaround, executing closing alerts becomes seamless within PineScript strategies on TradingView.

Stochastic / Connectable [Azullian]Advance your market analysis with the Stochastic Oscillator. Identify potential price reversals with precision, aiding in the creation of flexible and accurate strategies.
This connectable Stochastic indicator is part of an indicator system designed to help test, visualize and build strategy configurations without coding. Like all connectable indicators , it interacts through the TradingView input source, which serves as a signal connector to link indicators to each other. All connectable indicators send signal weight to the next node in the system until it reaches either a connectable signal monitor, signal filter and/or strategy.
█ UNIFORM SETTINGS AND A WAY OF WORK
Although connectable indicators may have specific weight scoring conditions, they all aim to follow a standardized general approach to weight scoring settings, as outlined below.
■ Connectable indicators - Settings
• 🗲 Energy: Energy applies an ATR multiplier to the plotted shapes on the chart. A higher value plots shapes farther away from the candle, enhancing visibility.
• ☼ Brightness: Brightness determines the opacity of the shape plotted on the chart, aiding visibility. Indicator weight also influences opacity.
• → Input: Use the input setting to specify a data source for the indicator. Here you can connect the indicator to other indicators.
• ⌥ Flow: Determine where you want to receive signals from:
○ Both: Weights from this indicator and the connected indicator will apply
○ Indicator only: Only weights from this indicator will apply
○ Input only: Only weights from the connected indicator will apply
• ⥅ Weight multiplier: Multiply all weights in the entire indicator by a given factor, useful for quickly testing different indicators in a granular setup.
• ⥇ Threshold: Set a threshold to indicate the minimum amount of weight it should receive to pass it through to the next indicator.
• ⥱ Limiter: Set a hard limit to the maximum amount of weight that can be fed through the indicator.
■ Connectable indicators - Weight scoring settings
▢ Weight scoring conditions
• SM – Signal mode: Enable specific conditions for weight scoring
○ All: All signals will be scored.
○ Entries only: Only entries will score.
○ Exits only: Only exits will score.
○ Entries & exits: Both entries and exits will score.
○ Zone: Continuous scoring for each candle within the zone.
• SP – Signal period: Defines a range of candles within which a signal can score.
• SC - Signal count: Specifies the number of bars to retrospectively examine and score.
○ Single: Score for a single occurrence
○ All occurrences: Score for all occurrences
○ Single + Threshold: Score for single occurrences within the signal period (SP)
○ Every + Threshold: Score for all occurrences within the signal period (SP)
▢ Weight scoring direction
• ES: Enter Short weight
• XL: Exit long weight
• EL: Enter Long weight
• XS: Exit Short weight
▢ Weight scoring values
• Weights can hold either positive or negative scores. Positive weights enhance a particular trading direction, while negative weights diminish it.
█ STOCHASTIC - INDICATOR SETTINGS
■ Main settings
• Enable/Disable Indicator: Toggle the entire indicator on or off.
• S - Source: Choose an alternative data source for the Stochastic calculation.
• T - Timeframe: Select an alternative timeframe for the Stochastic calculation.
• KL - %K Length: Define the number of bars or periods used in the calculation of the %K value.
• OB - Overbought Level: Determine the Stochastic value at which overbought conditions are met.
• OS - Oversold Level: Specify the Stochastic value at which oversold conditions are met.
• %K - %K Smoothing: DDefine the number of bars or periods used to smooth the %K value.
• %D - %D Smoothing: Define the number of bars or periods used to calculate and smooth the %D
■ Scoring functionality
• The Stochastic scores long entries when the %K line crosses above the %D line within the OS (oversold) area.
• The Stochastic scores long exits when the %K line crosses below the %D line after being in the OS (oversold) area.
• The Stochastic scores long zones for the duration the %K is above the %D line within the OS (oversold) area.
• The Stochastic scores short entries when the %K line crosses below the %D line within the OB (overbought) area.
• The Stochastic scores short exits when the %K line crosses above the %D line after being in the OB (overbought) area.
• The Stochastic scores short zones for the duration the %K is below the %D line within the OB (overbought) area.
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", a Stochastic signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, signal monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the Stochastic to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load Stochastic / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the Stochastic to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : Stochastic / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains. Instantly test your results and discover the potential of your configurations. Dive deep and enjoy the process!

• Signal Weight Precision: Leverage granular weight allocation among signals, offering a deeper layer of customization in strategy formulation.
• Advanced Signal Filtering: Define entry and exit conditions with more clarity, granting an added layer of strategy precision.
• Clear Visual Feedback: Distinct visual signals and cues enhance the readability of charts, promoting informed decision-making.
• Standardized Defaults: Indicators are equipped with universally recognized preset settings, ensuring consistency in initial setups across different types like momentum or volatility.
• Reliability: Our indicators are meticulously developed to prevent repainting. We strictly adhere to TradingView's coding conventions, ensuring our code is both performant and clean.
█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.

RSI / Connectable [Azullian]Enhance your trading approach with the modular RSI indicator, skilled in identifying market extremes. Simplify pattern visualization and signal weighting for more efficient strategy formulation.
This connectable RSI indicator is part of an indicator system designed to help test, visualize and build strategy configurations without coding. Like all connectable indicators , it interacts through the TradingView input source, which serves as a signal connector to link indicators to each other. All connectable indicators send signal weight to the next node in the system until it reaches either a connectable signal monitor, signal filter and/or strategy.
█ UNIFORM SETTINGS AND A WAY OF WORK
Although connectable indicators may have specific weight scoring conditions, they all aim to follow a standardized general approach to weight scoring settings, as outlined below.
■ Connectable indicators - Settings
• 🗲 Energy: Energy applies an ATR multiplier to the plotted shapes on the chart. A higher value plots shapes farther away from the candle, enhancing visibility.
• ☼ Brightness: Brightness determines the opacity of the shape plotted on the chart, aiding visibility. Indicator weight also influences opacity.
• → Input: Use the input setting to specify a data source for the indicator. Here you can connect the indicator to other indicators.
• ⌥ Flow: Determine where you want to receive signals from:
○ Both: Weights from this indicator and the connected indicator will apply
○ Indicator only: Only weights from this indicator will apply
○ Input only: Only weights from the connected indicator will apply
• ⥅ Weight multiplier: Multiply all weights in the entire indicator by a given factor, useful for quickly testing different indicators in a granular setup.
• ⥇ Threshold: Set a threshold to indicate the minimum amount of weight it should receive to pass it through to the next indicator.
• ⥱ Limiter: Set a hard limit to the maximum amount of weight that can be fed through the indicator.
■ Connectable indicators - Weight scoring settings
▢ Weight scoring conditions
• SM – Signal mode: Enable specific conditions for weight scoring
○ All: All signals will be scored.
○ Entries only: Only entries will score.
○ Exits only: Only exits will score.
○ Entries & exits: Both entries and exits will score.
○ Zone: Continuous scoring for each candle within the zone.
• SP – Signal period: Defines a range of candles within which a signal can score.
• SC - Signal count: Specifies the number of bars to retrospectively examine and score.
○ Single: Score for a single occurrence
○ All occurrences: Score for all occurrences
○ Single + Threshold: Score for single occurrences within the signal period (SP)
○ Every + Threshold: Score for all occurrences within the signal period (SP)
▢ Weight scoring direction
• ES: Enter Short weight
• XL: Exit long weight
• EL: Enter Long weight
• XS: Exit Short weight
▢ Weight scoring values
• Weights can hold either positive or negative scores. Positive weights enhance a particular trading direction, while negative weights diminish it.
■ Entries, exits and zone illustrated on a standard RSI indicator when the RSI is overbought.
█ RSI - INDICATOR SETTINGS
■ Main settings
• Enable/Disable Indicator: Toggle the entire indicator on or off.
• S - Source: Choose an alternative data source for the RSI calculation.
• T - Timeframe: Select an alternative timeframe for the RSI calculation.
• LE - Length: Define the number of bars or periods used in the RSI calculation.
• OB - Overbought Level: Determine the RSI value at which overbought conditions are met.
• OS - Oversold Level: Specify the RSI value at which oversold conditions are met.
■ Scoring functionality
• The RSI scores long entries when the RSI enters OS: oversold area
• The RSI scores long exits when the RSI exits OS: oversold area
• The RSI scores long zones the entire time the RSI is in OS: oversold area
• The RSI scores short entries when the RSI enters OB: overbought area
• The RSI scores short exits when the RSI exits OB: overbought area
• The RSI scores short zones the entire time the RSI is in OB: overbought area
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", an RSI signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, signal monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the RSI to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load RSI / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the RSI to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : RSI / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains.

• S - Source: Choose an alternative data source for the KDJ calculation.
• T - Timeframe: Select an alternative timeframe for the KDJ calculation.
• P - Period: Define the number of bars or periods used in the KDJ calculation.
• SL - Signal line: Adjust the smoothing factor for the KDJ's J line. This not only offers clearer buy/sell cues by reducing market noise but also determines the precise points for potential crossovers and crossunders.
■ Scoring functionality
• The KDJ scores long entries when the J line crosses over the signal (SL) line.
• The KDJ scores long exits when the J line crosses under the signal (SL) line after a prior crossover.
• The KDJ scores long zones the entire time the J line is above the signal (SL) line.
• The KDJ scores short entries when the J line crosses under the signal (SL) line.
• The KDJ scores short exits when the J line crosses over the signal (SL) line after a prior crossunder.
• The KDJ scores short zones the entire time the J line is below the signal (SL) line.
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", an KDJ signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, signal monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the KDJ to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load KDJ / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the KDJ to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : KDJ / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains. Instantly test your results and discover the potential of your configurations. Dive deep and enjoy the process!

█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.
