[blackcat] L2 Ehlers DFT-Adapted RSILevel: 2 Background John F. Ehlers introuced his DFT-ADAPTED RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI) in Jan, 2007. Function In "Fourier Transform For Traders" in Jan, 2007, John Ehlers presented an interesting technique of improving the resolution of spectral analysis that could be used to effectively measure market cycles. Better resolution is obtained by a surprisingly simple modification of the discrete Fourier transform. John Ehlers suggests using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to tune indicators. Here, I demonstrate this by building a DFT-adapted relative strength index (RSI) strategy. Rather than display the RSI for a single cycle length across the entire chart, Ehlers DFT adaptive RSI value reflects the DFT-calculated dominant cycle length RSI. If the dominant cycle changes from 14 to 18 bars, the RSI length parameter changes accordingly. Computationally, this requires the strategy to continuously update values for all possible RSI cycle lengths via a "for" loop and array. In details, a full-featured formula that implements a high-pass filter (HP) and a six-tap low-pass finite impulse response (FIR) filter on input, then does discrete Fourier transform calculations. I has taken liberty of adding extra parameters so the user can modify the analysis window length and the high-pass filter cutoff frequency in real time using the parameters window. Once the suite of possible RSI values is calculated, we use the DFT to select the relevant RSI for the current bar. The strategy then trades according to J. Welles Wilder's original rules for the RSI. Key Signal fastline--> DFT-ADAPTED RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI) fast line slowline--> DFT-ADAPTED RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI) slow line Pros and Cons 100% John F. Ehlers definition translation, even variable names are the same. This help readers who would like to use pine to read his book. Remarks The 71th script for Blackcat1402 John F. Ehlers Week publication. Based on original work of Ehlers, I added ALMA smoothing on DFT-adapted relative strength index (RSI) so that clearer trend can be observed. Readme In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts. The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works. Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element. Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level. Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated. Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop. Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

72s: Adaptive Hull Moving Average+One challenging issue for beginner traders is to differentiate market conditions, whether or not the current market is giving best possibility to stack profits, as earliest, in shortest time possible, or not. On intraday, we've seen some big actions by big banks are somewhat can be defined --or circling around-- by HMA 200 . I've been thinking on to make the visuals more conform to price dynamics (separating major movement and minor noise) to get clearer signs of when it starts to happen. So it will be easier to see in a glance when the strength starts really taken place, with less cluttered chart. This Adaptive HMA is using the new Pine Script's feature which now support Dynamic Length arguments for several Pine functions. ( read: www.tradingview.com). It hasn't support the built-in HMA() directly, but thankfully we can use its wma() formula to construct. (Note: I tweaked a bit HMA formula already popular here by using plain int() instead of round() on its wma's length, since I find it precisely match tradingview's built-in HMA). You can choose which aspect the Adaptive HMA period will adapt to. In this study I present it with two options: Volume and Volatility . It will "moves" faster or slower depends on which situation the aspect is currently into. ie: When volume is generally low or volatile readings is not there, price won't move very much, so the adapting MA will slow down by dynamically lengthen the lookback period, and vice versa, and so on. Colour-markings in the Adaptive resembles which situation explained above. In addition, I also combine it with slope calculation of the MA to help measuring trend-strength or sideway/choppy conditions. This way when we use it as dynamic support/resistance it will be more visually-reliable. Secondly, and more important, it might help us traders with better probability info of whether or not a trade should even worth to be made . ie: If in the mean time market won't give much movement, any profit would also only as much. In most cases, we might better save our dime for later or place it somewhere else. HOW TO USE: Aside from better dynamic support/resistance and clearer breakout confirmation, MA is coloured as follow: YELLOW: Market is in consolidation or flat. Be it sideways, choppy, or in relatively small movements. If it shows up in a trending market, it may be an earlier sign that current trend might about to change its direction, or confirming a price broke-out to another side. LIGHT GREEN or LIGHT RED: Tells if a trend is forming but still relatively weak (or getting weaker), as it doesn't have volume or volatility to support. DARKER GREEN ot DARKER RED: This is where we can expect some good and strong price movement to ride. If it's strong enough, many times it marks a start of new long-lasting major trend. SETTINGS: Charger: Choose which aspect your HMA should plug itself into, thus it will adapt to it. Minimum Period, Maximum Period: 172 - 233 is just my own setting to outmatch the static HMA 200 for intraday. I find it --in my style of trading-- best in 15m tf in almost any pair, and 15m to 1H for some stocks. It also works nicely with conventional EMA 200, sometimes as if they somewhat work hand-in-hand in defining where the price should go. But you can, ofcourse, experiment with other ranges, broader or narrower. Especially if you already have an established strategy to follow to. As you might do with: Consolidation area threshold: This has to do with slope calculation. The bigger the number means your MA needs bigger degree to define the market is out of flat (yellow) area. This can be useful if needed to lighten up the filter or vice-versa. Background colouring: Just another colouring to help highlighting the difference in market conditions. ALERTS: There are two alerts: Volume Break: when volume is breaking up above average, and Volatility Meter: when the market more likely is about to have its moment of the big wiggling brush. USAGE: Very very nice BUY entry to catch big up-movement if: 1. Price is above MA. (It is best when price is also not to far distance from the MA, or you can also use distance oscillator to help out too) 2. HMA's color is in darker green. Means it's on the charging plug with your chosen aspect. 3. RSI is above 50. This is to help as additional confirmation. Clear SELL entry signal is same as above, just the opposite. ------------------------------------------------------- Note: Lower timeframe of course means more noise to be filtered. Depends on the instrument, you might need to tweak the settings a bit till it conform nicely and shows lots of good trades in history. Here's another example on GBPUSD 5m timeframe: For exit/take-profit point, you can use a second faster period static HMA. Or you can also use RSI. Here's an example: Don't get me wrong, on few occasions I found it's still best using static MA to spot fakeouts, breakouts, etc, especially ones that's been already use widely. If that's the case or price actions seems suspicious, simply put the same value for minimum and maximum period settings, and there you have the original HMA with extra features. For developer, check in the code if you need to customise your own charger. ------------------------------------------------------- That's it. Hopefully this Adaptive HMA+ could at least be a good sidekick to your own strategy, as it does mine. ;)

Ehlers Adaptive Commodity Channel Index V1 [CC]The Adaptive Commodity Channel Index V1 was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 236-237) and this is the typical Commodity Channel formula with the introduction of adaptive lengths based on his earlier work with indicators such as the Mother of Adaptive Moving Averages. For longer term signals you would get a bullish signal when CCI is above 0 and a bearish signal when CCI falls below 0. For shorter term signals you would get a bullish signal when crosses over it's overbought level or when it crosses above it's oversold level or vice versa. I have included both signals to make it easier. Let me know if you want a custom script written or if you have a special request for me

Ehlers Adaptive Relative Vigor Index [CC]The Adaptive Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 140-141) and it does a pretty good job of capturing the peaks and valleys of the underlying data. There are several ways to read this particular indicator so for long term trades then buy when it goes above 0 and sell when it falls below 0 or for shorter term trades then buy when the indicator line turns green and sell when it turns red. Let me know if there are other indicators you would like to see me publish or if you want something custom done!

MESA Adaptive Moving Average - Improved MTFThis indicator is a huge upgrade to my original MTF MESA Plots are now extremely smooth and accurate on all timeframes ** Missing data points are automatically filled with the "best fit" This is a Trend indicator and should be used to trade "top-down" aka: Start with the Daily chart to confirm a trend Move to 4H 2H Etc... Use your favorite entry method or simply watch for wicks forming when the price gets near the MESA adaptive moving average. This is one of the few indicators that I've been using for years with success. Being able to plot both the current & higher timeframe MESA can sometimes feel like cheating. Due to the nature of the recursive calculation, you may notice slight differences between this version of MESA and others that either approximate higher timeframes with fewer samples or make use of the latest "Resolution" argument in Pinescript V4. Both of which are fine, until you start looking at M5 charts while plotting the Daily MESA. As always, happy trading! ** Currently supports M 1,3,5,15,30,45 H 1,2,3,4 Day 1 Week 1 Month 1

Ehlers Mother Of Adaptive Moving Averages [CC]The Mother Of Adaptive Moving Averages was created by John Ehlers (Rocket Science For Traders pgs 182-183) and this is definitely my favorite Ehlers moving average script. This works as a trend indicator and a typical moving average. When the mama is above the fama then the stock is in an uptrend and vice versa. Of course it is also good when the price is above the fama and mama lines. Buy when the indicator line is green and sell when it is red. Let me know if there are other indicator scripts you would like to see me publish or if you want something custom done!

Vertical Horizontal Moving Average [AneoPsy & alexgrover] Moving average adapting to the strength of the trend, this is made possible by using the square of the vertical-horizontal filter as a smoothing factor. Alerts are included with two different types of conditions available to the user. Settings Length : Period of the moving average Src : Input data for the indicator Alerts : Types of conditions to be used in the alerts, when set to "VHMA Direction Change" alerts are triggered once the VHMA is either rising or declining, else the alerts are based on the crosses between Src and the VHMA Usage The VHMA can be used as a fast or slow-moving average in a moving average crossover system, or as input for other indicators. VHMA of with length = 25 and sma with length = 200. VHMA with length = 25 used as input for the RSI with length = 14. Details The vertical-horizontal filter is a measure of the strength of the trend and lay in a (0,1) range, to calculate it you just need to divide the rolling range over with the rolling sum of the absolute price changes, squaring the result allow to get lower results with higher values of length . Squared vertical horizontal filter with length = 50, the value is low when the market is ranging and high when trending. To set the alerts go in the alert panel, click on create alert, and select VHMA in "condition", choose between the buy or sell alert. If Src = closing price or another indicator dependant on the closing price select in options "once per bar close", if the indicator using the opening or lagged closing prices values as input select "One per bar" instead. Thanks Thanks to AneoPsy for adding the color change, the idea to use two kinds of conditions for the alert, and for its feedback, you can follow him www.tradingview.com and finally thanks to you for reading and for your support, only one last script left for the month, then we'll start July with some pretty interesting indicators, I hope you'll like them ^^/

[LunaOwl] 11 kinds of Adaptive MA Model作品: 11種自適應性平滑模型 It integrates eleven kinds of adaptive moving average method. At first, I just wanted to make a ATR. Later, the price series ±N*ATR mult, to form two series. Then use the concept of support/resistance breakthrough to design it, and then two adaptive series formation channels were formed. Take the average of the two series as the signal. When the price crosses the signal, it's judged to be long or short. 整合了十一種能夠自適應性的移動平均模型。起初只是想要做一個基本款ATR指標，後來將價格加減N個ATR倍數，形成兩條序列形成通道，再使用支撐阻力突破的概念去設計它，再形成兩條自適應性的序列形成通道，再取中間值當成信號。當價格與信號交叉，則判斷作多或者作空。 --------------------------* Parameter 設置參數 Resolution: The default is "the same as the variety".

MAMA (Ehlers) MESA Adaptive Moving AverageMAMA ( Ehlers ) MESA Adaptive Moving Average: What it is and how it works MESA Phasor is the most advanced futures trading program on the market! MESA Phasor derives its name from the sinewave generator you probably recall from your high school trigonometry class. As you can see in the diagram, the rotating phasor generates a sine wave in the time domain, visualized as a shadow from the arrow tip of the phasor on the vertical axis. A cycle is completed on each full rotation of the phasor. The angle of the phasor increases at a constant rate, and is reset to zero when 360 degrees of rotation have been achieved. The idea of the trading system is to buy low at the valley of the sine wave , when phasor passes the lower angle, and to sell short at the crest of the sine wave , when the phasor passes the upper angle. Now the trade entries and exits are defined in terms of angles, which are in the frequency domain. Therefore, trading decisions are removed from waveform vagaries in the time domain. This means that the trading decisions are robust across various futures contracts and across all kinds of market conditions.

Adaptive Price Zone Backtest The adaptive price zone (APZ) is a volatility-based technical indicator that helps investors identify possible market turning points, which can be especially useful in a sideways-moving market. It was created by technical analyst Lee Leibfarth in the article “Identify the Turning Point: Trading With An Adaptive Price Zone,” which appeared in the September 2006 issue of the journal Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities. This indicator attempts to signal significant price movements by using a set of bands based on short-term, double-smoothed exponential moving averages that lag only slightly behind price changes. It can help short-term investors and day traders profit in volatile markets by signaling price reversal points, which can indicate potentially lucrative times to buy or sell. The APZ can be implemented as part of an automated trading system and can be applied to the charts of all tradeable assets. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

Efficient Trend Step ChannelIntroduction The efficient trend-step indicator is a trend indicator that make use of the efficiency ratio in order to adapt to the market trend strength, this indicator originally aimed to remain static during ranging states while fitting the price only when large variations occur. The trend step indicator family unlike most moving averages has a boxy appearance and could therefore not be classified as smooth, this makes it an indicator relatively uninteresting to use as input for other non-trending indicators such as oscillators. Today a channel indicator making use of the efficient trend-step is proposed, the indicator has an upper and a lower extremity who can be used for breakout or support and resistance methodologies, however we will see that the indicator is sometimes able to return accurate support and resistance levels. The Indicator The indicator has the same settings has the efficient trend step indicator, length control the period of the efficiency ratio, fast control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for trending states, slow control the period of the rolling standard deviation used for ranging states, fast should be lower than slow , if both are equal then the indicator is equal to the classical trend step indicator and length does no longer affect the indicator output. Lower values of fast/slow will make the indicator more reactive to small variations thus changing direction more often. The color changes you can see on the indicator are changed depending on the prior direction took by the indicator output, if the indicator where higher than its precedent value, then the color will be blue until the indicator is lower than its precedent value. Those colors help you have an estimate of the current trend direction. Channel Calculation And Role The extremities made from the efficient trend step allow for more advanced trading rules, they can act as stop/target level and can also give a rough estimate of the current market volatility, with wider extremities indicating a more volatile market. The extremities are made directly from the dev element used by the efficient trend-step, the upper extremity is made by summing the efficient trend step with the value of dev when the efficient trend step change, the lower extremity is made the same way but the value is subtracted instead. Is it a weird choice ? It sure is strange to see such approach, the absolute rolling average error between the price and the efficient trend step could have been a logical measure but using dev instead is more efficient and also allow for a more adaptive approach which can benefit the support and resistance methodology, the last reason is because i didn't wanted to "denature" the trend-step signature of the indicator. The figure above represent the measurement used for making the extremities (in green). Since the previously described measure change only when the efficient trend step change, we can conclude that such measure is representative of a relatively large variation, since the efficient trend step aim to only change when a large variations appear. We can see that the upper extremity acted as an accurate resistance in this upper variation of AMD, Here as well, however like other bands indicators it is safer to take into account the current trend direction, a strong uptrend will have less difficulties crossing the upper extremity, therefore it might be better to rely on the support (lower extremity) on an up-trending market (indicator in blue), and on the resistance (upper extremity) on an down-trending market (indicator in orange). The figure above show support and resistances signals, a cross represent a false signal, while green arrows represent correct ones with their respective direction. Conclusion The presented indicator add more possibilities to the interpretation of the efficient trend step, the extremities can act as stop/target level, however this use has to be controlled, and the level should be in accordance to your risk/reward ratio. Showcasing another trend-step indicator was a real pleasure. Thanks for reading :)

Minkowski Distance Factor Adaptive Period MACDHi, this script comes from the idea that Ricardo Santos' Minkovski Distance Function is transferred to the period as a factor. Minkowski distance is used as a percentage factor with the help of Relative Strength Index function. Minkowski Distance Function Script : And thus an adaptive MACD was created. This script can give much better results in more optimized larger periods. I leave the decision to determine the periods and weights. I used the weights of 9,12,26 and periods created with multiplied by factor. Regards.

Trend WaveHello Traders! You know, I can sill remember the first time I started tinkering with Pinescript. As I had no prior programming experience, I learned by experimenting with other open-source scripts on TradingViews Marketplace. Tearing apart and combining interesting scripts to see what the output would be. @ChrisMoody was a huge source of inspiration for learning, and I wanted to thank him, as well as @TheLark for the concept behind this script. The Trend Wave is based on @ChrisMoody's PPO-PercentileRank-Mkt-Tops-Bottoms , which also happens to be based on @TheLark's TheLark-Laguerre-PPO/ . Within my experimentation, I found that if I isolate the ppoT & ppoB variables and plot them calculated from extremely small decimals, you can get an extremely fast reacting, mirroring trend detector. Within the script, you have the ability to plot the background colors based on trend to make it easier to see where crossovers occured, as well as a Mirror Input to view the mirrored version of the script. -@DayTradingOil

Market Adaptive Stop-LossI realized that the zone changes in the stoploss remained slow, so I couldn't make enough use of the characteristics of technical indicators when opening positions. This pushed me to keep stop-loss under the influence of a dependent variable. This script helped me a lot (everget) : I've redesigned the stop-loss to be affected by intersections. Therefore, this script is also suitable for adaptive moving averages, fractional periods. Script features: 1.You can select calculation methods created by using various technical analysis methods from the scripts' settings: -Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( Macd ) -Stochastic Oscillator ( Stoch ) -Stochastic Relative Strength Index (StochRSI) -Stochastic Money Flow Index (StochMFI ) (More info : ) -Know Sure Thing ( KST ) -OBV ( On Balance Volume ) -SMA ( Simple Moving Average ) -EMA ( Exponential Moving Average ) -FISHERTRANSFORM ( Fisher Transform ) -AWESOMEOSCILLATOR( Awesome Oscillator ) -PSAR ( Parabolic Stop and Reverse - Parabolic SAR ) -HULLMA( Hull Moving Average ) -VWMA ( Volume Weighted Moving Average ) -RMA (Moving Average using in Relative Strength Index calculations.) -COG (Center of Gravity ) -ACC-DIST ( Accumulation / Distribution Index ) 2 - The region is determined according to the above calculation methods and if it is larger or smaller than the previous stop loss level. And if the price in the negative zone is lower than the stoploss, it is the exact signal and is shown with more highlighted colors. And, in the positive zone, where the price is greater than the stoploss, the trade zones are certain. Shown with more highlighted colors. If the zones are correct but stop-loss is not suitable for opening positions: In other words, if the stop-loss is above/under the highest-lowest levels in the positive zone or if the stop loss is located in the lower zone in the negative zone, these zones are shown to be darker and dimmed so that they do not cause false movements. *** SUMMARY : As a result, you can use this script with support and resistances,and trend lines to get good results. I hope it helps in your analyzes. Best regards.

Adaptive Pivot (HLC3)SUMMARY: Standard Pivot (HLC3) with ATR leeway added to make it adaptive to market volatility. DESCRIPTION: Adaptive Pivot is an indicator utilizing the simplicity of HLC3 Pivots as a turning point (and sometimes a trend indicator) while addressing it's fixed and inflexible nature. Because the indicator is just a single line in the chart, the price may go near it but never touch it. Or it can go pass through it and never retest it again. In an attempt to lessen these from occurring, we can combine pivots with average true range (ATR). This is the specific formula I applied in this indicator: >Upper Pivot = HLC3 + ATR >Lower Pivot = HLC3 - ATR This creates a kind of a range or cloud around the Pivot, making it possibly a more accurate indicator for market turning points. ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS: The usual ATR parameters are included in this indicator: >ATR_Length = input(14, title="ATR Length", minval=1) >ATR_Smoothing = input(title="ATR Smoothing", defval="RMA", options="RMA", "SMA", "EMA", "WMA") Added to the usual ones is this: >ATR_Multiplier = input(1, title="ATR Multiplier", minval=0.1) which modifies the extent of the ATR (similar to Chandelier Exit) as it is added/subtracted from the pivot values. Pivot’s timeframe is also adjustable: >Pivot_Timeframe = input("3M", title='Pivot Resolution') Note: I did not lock the type to input.resolution to allow for more possible timeframes. OTHER PARAMETERS Indicator color will change to green when the open is above the HLC3 Pivot and change to red when the reverse is true.
