[blackcat] L2 SVE Volatility BandsLevel 2 Background Sylvain Vervoort’s articles in the July issues on 2018,“The V-Trade, Part 5: Technical Analysis—Moving Average Support & Resistance And Volatility Bands” Function In “The V-Trade, Part 5: Technical Analysis—Moving Average Support & Resistance And Volatility Bands” in the July 2018 STOCKS & COMMODITIES, author Sylvain Vervoort introduced a new type of price band that he calls the SVEVolatilityBand. He created this new type of band to better highlight volatility changes when using non-time-related charts. According to the author, when using charts such as renko, traditional bands may fail to effectively highlight these changes. Remarks Feedbacks are appreciated.

Titans Trend LinesThis indicator will plot trend lines based on recent pivot highs and lows. The pivot sensitivity level may be customised under the indicator settings. The pivot highs and lows are identified by 'H' and 'L' markers. Through the indicator, a purple dotted line connects the last two pivot highs and another purple dotted line connects the last two pivot lows. These lines are extended to the left and right beyond the connected points. If a new trend line has developed due to the formation of a new pivot high or low, the last trend line will be grayed to help with referencing. The user is advised to use this indicator at his own risk.

God Number Channel v2(GNC v2)GNC got a little update: 1) Logic changed a bit. I tried to calculate MAs based on the power(high - low of previous bars).You can see it the M-variables, as new statements were added in calculation section of MAs. I don't really know if I did right, because I didn't go too much in Pine Script. I just wanted to make a Bollinger-bands-like bands, which could predict the levels at which might reverse, using legendary fibonacci and Tesla's harmonic number 432. It's might sound as a joke, but as you can see, it works pretty good. 2) Customization : No need to change Fibonacci ratios in code. Now you can do it in the GNC settings. Also MAs' names were made obvious, just check it out. Time of million similar "MA n1" has passed :) 3) Trade-entry advices : I didn't tell you exactly the trade-entry advices, as I haven't explored this script fully yet :) But you probably understood something intuitively, when added GNC on the chart. Now I made things way more obvious: 1. Zones between Fib ratios show you how aware you should be of price movements. Basically, here are the rules, but you probably understand them already: 1.1 Red zone(RZ) : high awareness, very likly for price to be reversed, but if there is a clear trend and you know, than it might be a time for price to shoot up/down. 1.2 Orange zone(OZ) : medium awareness, not so obvious, as price might go between boundaries of OZ and continue the trend movement if such followed before entering the OZ. If price go below lower boundary of OZ and the next bar opens below this boundary, it might be a signal for SHORY, BUT(!) please consider confirmation of any sort to be more sure. Think of going beyond the upper boundary by analogy. 1.3 Green Zone(GZ) : if the price hits any boundary of green zone, it is usually a good oppurtunity to open a position against the movement(hit lower boundary -> open LONG, hit upper boundary -> open SHORT). 1.4 Middle Zone(Harmonic Zone)(MZ) : same rules from Green Zone. IMPORTANT RECCOMENDATION : Use trend indicator to trend all signals from zones to follow the trend, 'cause counter-trending with this thing without stop loss might very quickly wipe you out , might if you will counter-trend strategy with GNC, I will be glad if you share it with the community :) Reccomendation for better entries : 1) if the price hits the lower(or high) boundaries(LB or HB) zone after zone(hit LB or HB of RZ, then of OZ, then of GZ), it is a very good signal to either LONG, if price was hitting LBs , or SHORT, if hitting HBs . 2) Consider NOT to place trades when in MZ, as price in this zone gets tricky often enough. By the way, if you dont the see the harmonic MAs(which go with plot(ma1+(0.432*avg1)) ), then set the transparency of zone to 20% or a bit more and then it will be ok. I will continue to develop the GNC and any help or feedback from you, guys, will be very helpful for me, so you welcome for any of those, but please be precise in your critics. Thank you for using my stuff, hope you found it usefull. Good luck :)

God Number Channel V1 (GNC V1)Channel, made of 5 MAs, which a made this way: High of N-period SMA - Low of N-period SMA + X-period SMA (check the code), where N and X are defined by your input. Main purpose: helps you understand in what range price can move. WARNING! HAS TO BE USED WITH OTHER INDICATORS TO HAVE MORE ACCURATE ENTRIES!!! If the price is above or below the channel, it means that the movement is very strong and you count it as a trend, but be careful then the price returns to the channel, as correction will follow very soon. Use fib correction tool to understand the approximate depth of correction, works pretty good. Recommendation: consider using the Vortex Indicator( len 21 and 14 are fine; for trend) and "Vumanchu Divergencies + B"(for anything, but calibrate for accuracy, otherwise there will be too much false signals). If you want to see more options where the price might go, just add new MA and add/substract to/from its value avg1*(any of fibonacci correction levels, I personally use 1.618 and 2.618 and for me it is ok): plot(show_ma1 ? ma1+( [ [ ]]]*avg1) : na, color = ma1_color, title="MA №1") Recommendations and feedback are welcome(!) Take your wins

Rollin' pseudo-Bollinger Bands 5 linear regression curves and new highs/lows mixed together from the basis for this indicator. Using slightly different logic an upper boundary and lower boundary are formed. Then the boundary's are built upon to show price channels within the band using variations of fib levels and the distance between the initial boundary's. Dots plotted show the inverse of the close price relative to either the upper or lower boundary depending on where the close is relative to the center of the band. This shows the market's tendency for symmetry which is useful when looking for reversals etc. If it's too cluttered feel free to turn off some things in the options and keep what you feel is helpful.

T3-Filterd SSL [Loxx]T3-Filterd SSL is an SSL indicator that is filtered with T3 moving average What is SSL? Known as the SSL , the Semaphore Signal Level channel chart alert is an indicator that combines moving averages to provide you with a clear visual signal of price movement dynamics. In short, it's designed to show you when a price trend is forming. For our purposes here, SSL has been modified to allow for different moving average selection and different closing price look back periods. What is T3? Developed by Tim Tillson, the T3 Moving Average is considered superior to traditional moving averages as it is smoother, more responsive and thus performs better in ranging market conditions as well.

OMA-Filtered, Gann HiLo Activator [Loxx]OMA-Filtered, Gann HiLo Activator is a Gann HiLo activator that uses OMA filtering instead SMA filtering. This GHA calculation also includes a variable for close period to further tune the indicator. What is Gann HiLo? The HiLo Activator study is a trend-following indicator introduced by Robert Krausz as part of the Gann Swing trading strategy. In addition to indicating the current trend direction, this can be used as both entry signal and trailing stop. Here is how the HiLo Activator is calculated: 1. The system calculates the moving averages of the high and low prices over the last several candles. By default, the average is calculated using the last three candles. 2. If the close price falls below the average low or rises above the average high, the system plots the opposite moving average. For example, if the price crosses above the average high, the system will plot the average low. If the price crosses below the average low afterward, the system will stop plotting the average low and will start plotting the average high, and so forth . The plot of the HiLo Activator thus consists of sections on the top and bottom of the price plot. The sections on the bottom signify bullish trending conditions. Vice versa, those on the top signify the bearish conditions. Included -Toggle bar color on/off

Abraham Trend [Loxx]Indicator based on "Trading the Trend" article by Andrew Abraham published in TASC. There has been a lot of "reincarnations" and renamed versions of this system, but since the indicator is quite good, it seemed useful to create the original version. What is the Abraham Trend? New traders quickly become familiar with two adages: "The trend is your friend," and "Let your profits run and cut your losses." Many of us, however, have learned the hard way that these things are easier said than done. Why is that? One reason is lack of recognition, since the trend itself is rarely clarified and defined, let alone where it starts and ends. So we need a clear explication of what a trend is as well as where its beginning and its end are. SIMPLE ENOUGH Simply, if the trend is considered up, then the trend of prices are composed of upwaves and the downwaves are countertrend movements. Downward trends are the opposite, seen as downwaves with countertrend upwaves. Using several tools and functions, we can design a quantifiable approach to defining these waves. My favorite is the volatility indicator, which is a formula that measures the market volatility by plotting a smoothed average of the true range. The true range indicator originates from the work of J. Welles Wilder Jr. from his New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. The definition of the true range is defined as the largest of the following: The difference between today's high and today's low The difference between today's high and yesterday's close, or The difference between today's low and yesterday's close. The calculation uses a 21-period weighted average of the true range, giving higher weight to the true range of the most recent bar. The final value is then multiplied by 3. The volatility indicator is used as a stop-and-reverse method. Let's say the market has been rising, then the volatility indicator is calculated each day and subtracted from the highest close during the rising market. The highest close is always used, even if there has been a series of lower closes since the highest close. If the market closes below the volatility indicator, then for the next day, the current reading of the volatility indicator is added to the lowest close. This step is followed each day until the market closes above the trailing volatility indicator. We now have a definition of the trend. An upward trend exists as long as the volatility indicator is below the market and a downtrend is in force if the volatility indicator is above the market.

Linear Regression ChannelsThese channels are generated from the current values of the linear regression channel indicator, the standard deviation is calculated based off of the RSI . This indicator gives an idea of when the linear regression model predicts a change in direction. You are able to change the length of the linear regression model, as well as the size of the zone. A negative zone size will make the zone stretch away from the center, and a positive zone size will make it stretch towards the centerline.

FATL, SATL, RFTL, & RSTL Digital Signal Filter Smoother [Loxx]FATL, SATL, RFTL, & RSTL Digital Signal Filter (DSP) Smoother is is a baseline indicator with DSP processed source inputs What are digital indicators: distinctions from standard tools, types of filters. To date, dozens of technical analysis indicators have been developed: trend instruments, oscillators, etc. Most of them use the method of averaging historical data, which is considered crude. But there is another group of tools - digital indicators developed on the basis of mathematical methods of spectral analysis. Their formula allows the trader to filter price noise accurately and exclude occasional surges, making the forecast more effective in comparison with conventional indicators. In this review, you will learn about their distinctions, advantages, types of digital indicators and examples of strategies based on them. Two non-standard strategies based on digital indicators Basic technical analysis indicators built into most platforms are based on mathematical formulas. These formulas are a reflection of market behavior in past periods. In other words, these indicators are built based on patterns that were discovered as a result of statistical analysis, which allows one to predict further trend movement to some extent. But there is also a group of indicators called digital indicators. They are developed using mathematical analysis and are an algorithmic spectral system called ATCF (Adaptive Trend & Cycles Following). In this article, I will tell you more about the components of this system, describe the differences between digital and regular indicators, and give examples of 2 strategies with indicator templates. ATCF - Market Spectrum Analysis Method There is a theory according to which the market is chaotic and unpredictable, i.e. it cannot be accurately analyzed. After all, no one can tell how traders will react to certain news, or whether some large investor will want to play against the market like George Soros did with the Bank of England. But there is another theory: many general market trends are logical, and have a rationale, causes and effects. The economy is undulating, which means it can be described by mathematical methods. Digital indicators are defined as a group of algorithms for assessing the market situation, which are based exclusively on mathematical methods. They differ from standard indicators by the form of analysis display. They display certain values: price, smoothed price, volumes. Many standard indicators are built on the basis of filtering the minute significant price fluctuations with the help of moving averages and their variations. But we can hardly call the MA a good filter, because digital indicators that use spectral filters make it possible to do a more accurate calculation. Simply put, digital indicators are technical analysis tools in which spectral filters are used to filter out price noise instead of moving averages. The display of traditional indicators is lines, areas, and channels. Digital indicators can be displayed both in the form of lines and in digital form (a set of numbers in columns, any data in a text field, etc.). The digital display of the data is more like an additional source of statistics; for trading, a standard visual linear chart view is used. All digital models belong to the category of spectral analysis of the market situation. In conventional technical indicators, price indications are averaged over a fixed period of time, which gives a rather rough result. The use of spectral analysis allows us to increase trading efficiency due to the fact that digital indicators use a statistical data set of past periods, which is converted into a “frequency” of the market (period of fluctuations). Fourier theory provides the following spectral ranging of the trend duration: low frequency range (0-4) - a reflection of a long trend of 2 months or more medium frequency range (5-40) - the trend lasts 10-60 days, thus it is referred to as a correction high frequency range (41-130) - price noise that lasts for several days The ATCF algorithm is built on the basis of spectral analysis and includes a set of indicators created using digital filters. Its consists of indicators and filters: FATL: Built on the basis of a low-frequency digital trend filter SATL: Built on the basis of a low-frequency digital trend filter of a different order RFTL: High frequency trend line RSTL: Low frequency trend line Inclucded: 4 DSP filters Bar coloring Keltner channels with variety ranges and smoothing functions Bollinger bands 40 Smoothing filters 33 souce types Variable channels

CFB Adaptive MOGALEF Bands [Loxx]A Pine Script adaptation from MOGALEF Bands . What are MOGALEF Bands? Actual MOGALEF bands code is the final result of a lot of contributors.​ Syllables MO-GA-LEF are the initials of three of them. The basic idea of bands: the markets are still in range, and trends that are moving ranges. The Mogalef bands try to estimate the current range and to project its on the future if prices move. This future estimation is often of great relevance and very useful, especialy for market profile users or pivot points users. What is Composite Fractal Behavior ( CFB )? All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets. Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration. Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action. The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit! This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic. CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis. What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter? One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive. What is the Jurik Moving Average? Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines. Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.

LNL Pullback ArrowsBuying the dip has never been easier! LNL Pullback Arrows are here to pinpoint the best possible entries for the trend following setups. With the Pullback Arrows, trader can pick his own approach and risk level thanks to four different types of arrows. The goal of these arrows is to force the traders to scale in & out of trades which is in my opinion crucial when it comes to trend following strategies. These arrows were designed primarily for the daily & weekly time frame (swing trading). Four Types of Pullback Arrows: 1. Aggro Arrows - Ideal for aggresive approach during parabolic trends. Sometimes trends are so strong that the price barely revisits the daily 8 EMA. This is where the aggro arrows can perfectly pinpoint the aggresive high risk entries. Ideal for halfsize or 1/4 size of the full position. Aiming for quick 1-2 day moves targeting the recent high/low. These arrows could be also named as scalping arrows for the swing traders. A quick In & Out. 2. HalfSize Arrows - Medium risk approach. First arrows to scale in. HalfSize arrows are the first sign that the pullback might be ending, yet there is still some space left for an even deeper pullback. That is the reason why they are called half-size. Ideally taken with half-sized position. When trading the HalfSize Arrows, It is better to have some "spare ammo in the gun" ready to use. 3. FullSize Arrows - Regular risk approach. These arrows represent a zone where the core of the posititon should be taken. The point of validity for the trend is not that far away, meaning the risk can be kept tight. Ideal for scailing the other halfs or quarters of the full position. Also great for more conservative traders or environments with higher volatility. 4. Rare Arrows - Offer the best risk to reward entries during the trend. Rare Arrows should be the "last kick" of the retracement, therefore stops can be positioned really tight. They either trigger the stop immidiately or they provide another juicy leg up or down in the direction of the trend. However, they really do appear rarely. Simple EMA Cloud: A simple cloud based on 21 and 55 exponential moving averages. This default length creates a pullback zone that is wide enough for the conservative traders but also give the opportunities to more aggresive traders. Alternatives such as 8 & 21, or 21 & 34 are forming the zone that is too aggresive and usually too thin. Of course, cloud can be fully adjusted or turned off completely. The only role of the cloud is to gauge the trend. Tips & Tricks: 1.Importance of the Scailing - As already stated, scailing is crucial to this since there is no way of knowing the exact level at which the price magically bounce every time. It is hard to tell where and which EMA will be respected. How can we know it will be 21 EMA every time? or 34 EMA or 10 EMA or 100 SMA or 50 DMA ... Single MA does not make a trend. This is the reason why scailing is so important. Scailing can make a difference. 2. Nothing is Perfect - Same as any other study, nothing works 100% perfectly. Sometimes the setup will go right against you and sometimes the price will fade away sideways and breaks off the structure of the trend. This is not a magic certainty tool. This is just another probability tool. 3. Point of Validity & Other Studies - Even though the pullback arrows can be a stand-alone strategy. It is important to use other indicators that visualize the actual trend. Whether its EMA Cloud or EMAs or DMI Bars or Keltner Channels, there should be something that validates the trend, something that tells the trend is over. (Pullback Arrows are not showing the actual stops!). Hope it helps.
