Moving Average Simple Tool [OmegaTools]This TradingView script is a versatile Moving Average Tool that offers users multiple moving average types and a customizable overbought and oversold (OB/OS) sensitivity feature. It is designed to assist in identifying potential price trends, reversals, and momentum by using different average calculations and providing visual indicators for deviation levels. Below is a detailed breakdown of the settings, functionality, and visual elements within the Moving Average Simple Tool.
Indicator Overview
Indicator Name: Moving Average Simple Tool
Short Title: MA Tool
Purpose: Provides a choice of six moving average types with configurable sensitivity, which helps traders identify trend direction, potential reversal zones, and overbought or oversold conditions.
Input Parameters
Source (src): This option allows the user to select the data source for the moving average calculation. By default, it is set to close, but users can choose other options like open, high, low, or any custom price data.
Length (lnt): Defines the period length for the moving average. By default, it is set to 21 periods, allowing users to adjust the moving average sensitivity to either shorter or longer periods.
Average Type (mode): This input defines the moving average calculation type. Six types of averages are available:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average)
RMA (Rolling Moving Average)
Middle Line: Calculates the average between the highest and lowest price over the period specified in Length. This is useful for a mid-range line rather than a traditional moving average.
Sensitivity (sens): This parameter controls the sensitivity of the overbought and oversold levels. The sensitivity value can range from 1 to 40, where a lower value represents a higher sensitivity and a higher value allows for smoother OB/OS zones.
Color Settings:
OS (Oversold Color, upc): The color applied to deviation areas that fall below the oversold threshold.
OB (Overbought Color, dnc): The color applied to deviation areas that exceed the overbought threshold.
Middle Line Color (midc): A gradient color that visually blends between overbought and oversold colors for smoother visual transitions.
Calculation Components
Moving Average Calculation (mu): Based on the chosen Average Type, this calculation derives the moving average or middle line value for the selected source and length.
Deviation (dev): The deviation of the source value from the moving average is calculated. This is useful to determine whether the current price is significantly above or below the average, signaling potential buying or selling opportunities.
Overbought (ob) and Oversold (os) Levels: These levels are calculated using a linear percentile interpolation based on the deviation, length, and sensitivity inputs. The higher the sensitivity, the narrower the overbought and oversold zones, allowing users to capture more frequent signals.
Visual Elements
Moving Average Line (mu): This line represents the moving average based on the selected calculation method and is plotted with a dynamic color based on deviation thresholds. When the deviation crosses into overbought or oversold zones, it shifts to the corresponding OB/OS colors, providing a visual indication of potential trend reversals.
Deviation Plot (dev): This plot visualizes the deviation values as a column plot, with colors matching the overbought, oversold, or neutral states. This helps users to quickly assess whether the price is trending or reverting back to its mean.
Overbought (ob) and Oversold (os) Levels: These levels are plotted as fixed lines, helping users identify when the deviation crosses into overbought or oversold zones.
Centered Oscillators
Stockbee M20The Stockbee M20 Scan is a momentum scan designed to identify stocks with established short-term momentum. It highlights stocks that have moved significantly over the past 30 days, with bullish momentum indicated by a 20%+ increase from the lowest price and bearish momentum by a 20%+ decrease from the highest price. This scan helps traders spot potential setups and build watchlists of stocks that may offer continued movement.
This M20 Indicator serves as a study tool to visualize when stocks historically met these M20 conditions. It marks on the chart where a stock would have triggered the M20 scan, allowing traders to review past momentum patterns and evaluate current movers. An optional Keltner Channel filter further refines signals by excluding stocks that are overextended from their mean price, focusing only on entries closer to the average price.
M20 Conditions and Filter :
M20 Bullish: Price is 20%+ above the lowest point in the past 30 days.
M20 Bearish: Price is 20%+ below the highest point in the past 30 days.
Keltner Channel Filter: Exclude stocks trading outside the 20-period EMA ± 2x 10-period ATR bands.
MTF CCI Scanner [KaninFx]MTF CCI Scanner (Multi-Timeframe CCI Scanner) is an indicator that analyzes CCI (Commodity Channel Index) values across multiple timeframes simultaneously, from M1, M3, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, to D1. It displays results in a table format showing CCI values and states (Overbought, Oversold, Neutral), allowing traders to quickly visualize buying-selling pressure across all timeframes.
Pulse DPO: Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms█ OVERVIEW
Pulse DPO is an oscillator designed to highlight Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms .
It works on any market driven by cycles. It operates by removing the short-term noise from the price action and focuses on the market's cyclical nature.
This indicator uses a Normalized version of the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) on a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify major tops and bottoms.
Credit: The DPO was first developed by William Blau in 1991.
█ HOW TO READ IT
Pulse DPO oscillates in the range between 0 and 100. A value in the upper section signals an OverBought (OB) condition, while a value in the lower section signals an OverSold (OS) condition.
Generally, the triggering of OB and OS conditions don't necessarily translate into swing tops and bottoms, but rather suggest caution on approaching a market that might be overextended.
Nevertheless, this indicator has been customized to trigger the signal only during remarkable top and bottom events.
I suggest using it on the Daily Time Frame , but you're free to experiment with this indicator on other time frames.
The indicator has Built-in Alerts to signal the crossing of the Thresholds. Please don't act on an isolated signal, but rather integrate it to work in conjunction with the indicators present in your Trading Plan.
█ OB SIGNAL ON: ENTERING OVERBOUGHT CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Above the Top Threshold it Triggers ON the OB signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to OB color.
When Pulse DPO enters the OB Zone, please beware! In this Area the Major Players usually become Active Sellers to the Public. While the OB signal is On, it might be wise to Consider Selling a portion or the whole Long Position.
Please note that even though this indicator aims to focus on major tops and bottoms, a strong trending market might trigger the OB signal and stay with it for a long time. That's especially true on young markets and on bubble-mode markets.
█ OB SIGNAL OFF: EXITING OVERBOUGHT CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Below the Top Threshold it Triggers OFF the OB signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to its normal color.
When Pulse DPO exits the OB Zone, please beware because a Major Top might just have occurred. In this Area the Major Players usually become Aggressive Sellers. They might wind up any remaining Long Positions and Open new Short Positions.
This might be a good area to Open Shorts or to Close/Reverse any remaining Long Position. Whatever you choose to do, it's usually best to act quickly because the market is prone to enter into panic mode.
█ OS SIGNAL ON: ENTERING OVERSOLD CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Below the Bottom Threshold it Triggers ON the OS signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to OS color.
When Pulse DPO enters the OS Zone, please beware because in this Area the Major Players usually become Active Buyers accumulating Long Positions from the desperate Public.
While the OS signal is On, it might be wise to Consider becoming a Buyer or to implement a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Strategy to build a Long Position towards the next Cycle. In contrast to the tops, the OS state usually takes longer to resolve a major bottom.
█ OS SIGNAL OFF: EXITING OVERSOLD CONDITION
When Pulse DPO crosses Above the Bottom Threshold it Triggers OFF the OS signal. At this point the oscillator line shifts to its normal color.
When Pulse DPO exits the OS Zone, please beware because a Major Bottom might already be in place. In this Area the Major Players become Aggresive Buyers. They might wind up any remaining Short Positions and Open new Long Positions.
This might be a good area to Open Longs or to Close/Reverse any remaining Short Positions.
█ WHY WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN THIS INDICATOR?
This indicator is built over a solid foundation capable of signaling Major Cycle Tops and Bottoms across many markets. Let's see some examples:
Early Bitcoin Years: From 0 to 1242
This chart is in logarithmic mode in order to properly display various exponential cycles. Pulse DPO is properly signaling the major early highs from 9-Jun-2011 at 31.50, to the next one on 9-Apr-2013 at 240 and the epic top from 29-Nov-2013 at 1242.
Due to the massive price movements, the OB condition stays pinned during most of the exponential price action. But as you can see, the OB condition quickly vanishes once the Cycle Top has been reached. As the market matures, the OB condition becomes more exceptional and triggers much closer from the Cycle Top.
With regards to Cycle Bottoms, the early bottom of 2 after having peaked at 31.50 doesn’t get captured by the indicator. That is the only cycle bottom that escapes the Pulse DPO when the bottom threshold is set at a value of 5. In that event, the oscillator low reached 6.95.
Bitcoin Adoption Spreading: From 257 to 73k
This chart is in logarithmic mode in order to properly display various exponential cycles. Pulse DPO is properly signaling all the major highs from 17-Dec-2017 at 19k, to the next one on 14-Apr-2021 at 64k and the most recent top from 9-Nov-2021 at 68k.
During the massive run of 2017, the OB condition still stayed triggered for a few weeks on each swing top. But on the next cycles it started to signal only for a few days before each swing top actually happened. The OB condition during the last cycle top triggered only for 3 days. Therefore the signal grows in focus as the market matures.
At the time of publishing this indicator, Bitcoin printed a new All Time High (ATH) on 13-Mar-2024 at 73k. That run didn’t trigger the OB condition. Therefore, if the indicator is correct the Bitcoin market still has some way to grow during the next months.
With regards to Cycle Bottoms, the bottom of 3k after having peaked at19k got captured within the wide OS zone. The bottom of 15k after having peaked at 68k got captured too within the OS accumulation area.
Gold
Pulse DPO behaves surprisingly well on a long standing market such as Gold. Moving back to the 197x years it’s been signaling most Cycle Tops and Bottoms with precision. During the last cycle, it shows topping at 2k and bottoming at 1.6k.
The current price action is signaling OB condition in the range of 2.5k to 2.7k. Looking at past cycles, it tends to trigger on and off at multiple swing tops until reaching the final cycle top. Therefore this might indicate the first wave within a potential gold run.
Oil
On the Oil market, we can see that most of the cycle tops and bottoms since the 80s got signaled. The only exception being the low from 2020 which didn’t trigger.
EURUSD
On Forex markets the Pulse DPO also behaves as expected. Looking back at EURUSD we can see the marketing triggering OB and OS conditions during major cycle tops and bottoms from recent times until the 80s.
S&P 500
On the S&P 500 the Pulse DPO catched the lows from 2016 and 2020. Looking at present price action, the recent ATH didn’t trigger the OB condition. Therefore, the indicator is allowing room for another leg up during the next months.
Amazon
On the Amazon chart the Pulse DPO is mirroring pretty accurately the major swings. Scrolling back to the early 2000s, this chart resembles early exponential swings in the crypto space.
Tesla
Moving onto a younger tech stock, Pulse DPO captures pretty accurately the major tops and bottoms. The chart is shown in logarithmic scale to better display the magnitude of the moves.

DeNoised Momentum [OmegaTools]The DeNoised Momentum by OmegaTools is a versatile tool designed to help traders evaluate momentum, acceleration, and noise-reduction levels in price movements. Using advanced mathematical smoothing techniques, this script provides a "de-noised" view of momentum by applying filters to reduce market noise. This helps traders gain insights into the strength and direction of price trends without the distractions of market volatility. Key components include a DeNoised Moving Average (MA), a Momentum line, and Acceleration bars to identify trend shifts more clearly.
Features:
- Momentum Line: Measures the percentage change of the de-noised source price over a specified look-back period, providing insights into trend direction.
- Acceleration (Ret) Bars: Visualizes the rate of change of the source price, helping traders identify momentum shifts.
- Normal and DeNoised Moving Averages: Two moving averages, one based on close price (Normal MA) and the other on de-noised data (DeNoised MA), enable a comparison of smoothed trends versus typical price movements.
- DeNoised Price Data Plot: Displays the current de-noised price, color-coded to indicate the relationship between the Normal and DeNoised MAs, which highlights bullish or bearish conditions.
Script Inputs:
- Length (lnt): Sets the period for calculations (default: 21). It influences the sensitivity of the momentum and moving averages. Higher values will smooth the indicator further, while lower values increase sensitivity to price changes.
The Length does not change the formula of the DeNoised Price Data, it only affects the indicators calculated on it.
Indicator Components:
1. Momentum (Blue/Red Line):
- Calculated using the log of the percentage change over the specified period.
- Blue color indicates positive momentum; red indicates negative momentum.
2. Acceleration (Gray Columns):
- Measures the short-term rate of change in momentum, shown as semi-transparent gray columns.
3. Moving Averages:
- Normal MA (Purple): A standard simple moving average (SMA) based on the close price over the selected period.
- DeNoised MA (Gray): An SMA of the de-noised source, reducing the effect of market noise.
4. DeNoised Price Data:
- Represented as colored circles, with blue indicating that the Normal MA is above the DeNoised MA (bullish) and red indicating the opposite (bearish).
Usage Guide:
1. Trend Identification:
- Use the Momentum line to assess overall trend direction. Positive values indicate upward momentum, while negative values signal downward momentum.
- Compare the Normal and DeNoised MAs: when the Normal MA is above the DeNoised MA, it indicates a bullish trend, and vice versa for bearish trends.
2. Entry and Exit Signals:
- A change in the Momentum line's color from blue to red (or vice versa) may indicate potential entry or exit points.
- Observe the DeNoised Price Data circles for early signs of a trend reversal based on the interaction between the Normal and DeNoised MAs.
3. Volatility and Noise Reduction:
- By utilizing the DeNoised MA and de-noised price data, this indicator helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on larger price movements, improving decision-making in volatile markets.
Long Short MomentumThis indicator is designed to visualize short-term and long-term momentum trends.The indicator calculates two momentum lines based on customizable lengths: a short momentum (Short Momentum) over a smaller period and a long momentum (Long Momentum) over a longer period. These lines are plotted relative to the chosen price source, typically the closing price.
The histogram, colored dynamically based on momentum direction, gives visual cues:
Green: Both short and long momentum are positive, indicating an upward trend.
Red: Both are negative, indicating a downward trend.
Gray: Mixed momentum, suggesting potential trend indecision.

EMD Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) Oscillator is an advanced indicator designed to analyze market trends and cycles with high precision. It breaks down complex price data into simpler parts called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), allowing traders to see underlying patterns and trends that aren’t visible with traditional indicators. The result is a dynamic oscillator that provides insights into overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend direction and strength. This indicator is suitable for all types of traders, from beginners to advanced, looking to gain deeper insights into market behavior.
█ How It Works
The core of this indicator is the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) process, a method typically used in signal processing and advanced scientific fields. It works by breaking down price data into various “layers,” each representing different frequencies in the market’s movement. Imagine peeling layers off an onion: each layer (or IMF) reveals a different aspect of the price action.
⚪ Data Decomposition (Sifting): The indicator “sifts” through historical price data to detect natural oscillations within it. Each oscillation (or IMF) highlights a unique rhythm in price behavior, from rapid fluctuations to broader, slower trends.
⚪ Adaptive Signal Reconstruction: The EMD Oscillator allows traders to select specific IMFs for a custom signal reconstruction. This reconstructed signal provides a composite view of market behavior, showing both short-term cycles and long-term trends based on which IMFs are included.
⚪ Normalization: To make the oscillator easy to interpret, the reconstructed signal is scaled between -1 and 1. This normalization lets traders quickly spot overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend direction, without worrying about the raw magnitude of price changes.
The indicator adapts to changing market conditions, making it effective for identifying real-time market cycles and potential turning points.
█ Key Calculations: The Math Behind the EMD Oscillator
The EMD Oscillator’s advanced nature lies in its high-level mathematical operations:
⚪ Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs)
IMFs are extracted from the data and act as the building blocks of this indicator. Each IMF is a unique oscillation within the price data, similar to how a band might be divided into treble, mid, and bass frequencies. In the EMD Oscillator:
Higher-Frequency IMFs: Represent short-term market “noise” and quick fluctuations.
Lower-Frequency IMFs: Capture broader market trends, showing more stable and long-term patterns.
⚪ Sifting Process: The Heart of EMD
The sifting process isolates each IMF by repeatedly separating and refining the data. Think of this as filtering water through finer and finer mesh sieves until only the clearest parts remain. Mathematically, it involves:
Extrema Detection: Finding all peaks and troughs (local maxima and minima) in the data.
Envelope Calculation: Smoothing these peaks and troughs into upper and lower envelopes using cubic spline interpolation (a method for creating smooth curves between data points).
Mean Removal: Calculating the average between these envelopes and subtracting it from the data to isolate one IMF. This process repeats until the IMF criteria are met, resulting in a clean oscillation without trend influences.
⚪ Spline Interpolation
The cubic spline interpolation is an advanced mathematical technique that allows smooth curves between points, which is essential for creating the upper and lower envelopes around each IMF. This interpolation solves a tridiagonal matrix (a specialized mathematical problem) to ensure that the envelopes align smoothly with the data’s natural oscillations.
To give a relatable example: imagine drawing a smooth line that passes through each peak and trough of a mountain range on a map. Spline interpolation ensures that line is as smooth and close to reality as possible. Achieving this in Pine Script is technically demanding and demonstrates a high level of mathematical coding.
⚪ Amplitude Normalization
To make the oscillator more readable, the final signal is scaled by its maximum amplitude. This amplitude normalization brings the oscillator into a range of -1 to 1, creating consistent signals regardless of price level or volatility.
█ Comparison with Other Signal Processing Methods
Unlike standard technical indicators that often rely on fixed parameters or pre-defined mathematical functions, the EMD adapts to the data itself, capturing natural cycles and irregularities in real-time. For example, if the market becomes more volatile, EMD adjusts automatically to reflect this without requiring parameter changes from the trader. In this way, it behaves more like a “smart” indicator, intuitively adapting to the market, unlike most traditional methods. EMD’s adaptive approach is akin to AI’s ability to learn from data, making it both resilient and robust in non-linear markets. This makes it a great alternative to methods that struggle in volatile environments, such as fixed-parameter oscillators or moving averages.
█ How to Use
Identify Market Cycles and Trends: Use the EMD Oscillator to spot market cycles that represent phases of buying or selling pressure. The smoothed version of the oscillator can help highlight broader trends, while the main oscillator reveals immediate cycles.
Spot Overbought and Oversold Levels: When the oscillator approaches +1 or -1, it may indicate that the market is overbought or oversold, signaling potential entry or exit points.
Confirm Divergences: If the price movement diverges from the oscillator's direction, it may indicate a potential reversal. For example, if prices make higher highs while the oscillator makes lower highs, it could be a sign of weakening trend strength.
█ Settings
Window Length (N): Defines the number of historical bars used for EMD analysis. A larger window captures more data but may slow down performance.
Number of IMFs (M): Sets how many IMFs to extract. Higher values allow for a more detailed decomposition, isolating smaller cycles within the data.
Amplitude Window (L): Controls the length of the window used for amplitude calculation, affecting the smoothness of the normalized oscillator.
Extraction Range (IMF Start and End): Allows you to select which IMFs to include in the reconstructed signal. Starting with lower IMFs captures faster cycles, while ending with higher IMFs includes slower, trend-based components.
Sifting Stopping Criterion (S-number): Sets how precisely each IMF should be refined. Higher values yield more accurate IMFs but take longer to compute.
Max Sifting Iterations (num_siftings): Limits the number of sifting iterations for each IMF extraction, balancing between performance and accuracy.
Source: The price data used for the analysis, such as close or open prices. This determines which price movements are decomposed by the indicator.

Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)
The VASTC is a fairly fast-moving oscillator designed to identify trends early and signal when trends may be nearing their end. While it can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies , it shines in trend-following setups. It’s particularly useful for catching the start of a trend and giving early warnings that a trend might end soon, making it a valuable addition to a multi-indicator system.
How It Works:
The VASTC adapts the traditional Schaff Trend Cycle by adjusting the MACD component with volume data. This volume-adjusted MACD is run through two stochastic processes , applying exponential smoothing to enhance responsiveness. Volume sensitivity allows the VASTC to adapt dynamically to periods of high or low trading activity, providing more reliable trend signals.
Recommended Use:
Use VASTC in confluence with other indicators to confirm trend entries and exits. It’s best for identifying early trend setups rather than sustaining prolonged trend trades. When used alongside other indicators, especially those with a longer-term outlook or momentum based trend indicators, you’ll gain a clearer signal for potential exits or entries. Always backtest the VASTC on your chosen assets to determine the most effective input parameters, as the defaults may not suit all markets or assets. Different assets behave differently, and adjustments in parameters can improve its ability to analyze the assets you're looking at.
Parameters:
Length : Sets the primary smoothing length.
Fast/Slow Length : Adjust the speed of the volume-adjusted MACD component.
Factor : Controls the final smoothing applied to the STC.
Overbought/Oversold Levels : Defines overbought/oversold levels.
Experiment with these settings to customize the VASTC to your trading strategy and asset.
Disclaimer : This indicator is a tool to complement your trading analysis and should not be used in isolation. Always backtest and use other confluence signals for best results. The assets I looked at when making this indicator are almost certainly different than what you're looking at.
Dynamic Volume-Based Buy/Sell IndicatorThis script provides a powerful volume-based indicator that visualizes buy and sell volumes, issues alerts for volume spikes, and adjusts color intensity dynamically based on volume size.

Momentum Nexus Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Momentum Nexus Oscillator " indicator is a comprehensive momentum-based tool designed to provide traders with visual cues on market conditions using multiple oscillators. By combining four popular technical indicators—RSI (Relative Strength Index), VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator), MFI (Money Flow Index), and CCI (Commodity Channel Index)—this heatmap offers a holistic view of the market's momentum.
The indicator plots two lines: one representing the current chart’s combined momentum score and the other representing a higher timeframe’s (HTF) score, if enabled. Through smooth gradient color transitions and easy-to-read signals, the Momentum Nexus Heatmap allows traders to easily identify potential trend reversals or continuation patterns.
Traders can use this tool to detect overbought or oversold conditions, helping them anticipate possible long or short trade opportunities. The option to use a higher timeframe enhances the flexibility of the indicator for longer-term trend analysis.
🔶 Key Features
Multi-Oscillator Approach: Combines four popular momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI) to generate a weighted score, providing a comprehensive picture of market momentum.
Dynamic Color Heatmap: Utilizes a smooth gradient transition between bullish and bearish colors, reflecting market momentum across different thresholds.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Compatibility: Includes an optional higher timeframe input that displays a separate score line based on the same momentum metrics, allowing for multi-timeframe analysis.
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI lengths, as well as overbought and oversold levels, to match the trader’s strategy or preference.
Signal Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both the current chart and higher timeframe scores, notifying traders when long or short entry signals are triggered.

User-Friendly Visualization: The heatmap is separated into four sections representing each indicator, providing a transparent view of how each contributes to the overall momentum score.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator:
Combined Score
The indicator generates a combined score by weighing the individual contributions of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI. This score ranges from 0 to 100 and is plotted as a line on the chart. Lower values suggest potential oversold conditions, while higher values indicate overbought conditions.
Color Heatmap
The indicator divides the combined score into four distinct sections, each representing one of the underlying momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI). Bullish (greenish) colors indicate upward momentum, while bearish (grayish) colors suggest downward momentum.
Long/Short Signals
When the combined score drops below the oversold threshold (default is 26), a long signal (▲) is displayed on the chart, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
When the combined score exceeds the overbought threshold (default is 74), a short signal (▼) is shown, signaling a potential sell or short opportunity.
Higher Timeframe Analysis
If enabled, the indicator also plots a line representing the combined score for a higher timeframe. This can be used to align lower timeframe trades with the broader trend of a higher timeframe, providing added confirmation.
Signals for long and short entries are also plotted for the higher timeframe when its combined score reaches overbought or oversold levels.
🔶Purpose of Using Multiple Technical Indicators
The combination of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI in the Momentum Nexus Heatmap provides a comprehensive approach to analyzing market momentum by leveraging the unique strengths of each indicator. This multi-indicator method minimizes the limitations of using just one tool, resulting in more reliable signals and a clearer understanding of market conditions.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI contributes by measuring the strength and speed of recent price movements. It helps identify overbought or oversold levels, signaling potential trend reversals or corrections. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it one of the most widely used indicators in technical analysis, contributing to momentum assessment in a straightforward manner.
VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator)
VZO adds the critical element of volume to the analysis. By assessing whether price movements are supported by significant volume, VZO distinguishes between price changes that are driven by real market conviction and those that might be short-lived. It helps validate the strength of a trend or alert the trader to potential weakness when price moves are unsupported by volume.
MFI (Money Flow Index)
MFI enhances the analysis by combining price and volume to gauge money flow into and out of an asset. This indicator provides insight into the participation of large players in the market, showing if money is pouring into or exiting the asset. MFI acts as a volume-weighted version of RSI, giving more weight to volume shifts and helping traders understand the sustainability of price trends.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
CCI contributes by measuring how far the price deviates from its statistical average. This helps in identifying extreme conditions where the market might be overextended in either direction. CCI is especially useful for spotting trend reversals or continuations, particularly during market extremes, and for identifying divergence signals.

Divergence Indicator Multi [TradingFinder] MACD AO RSI DIV Chart🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is Divergence in Financial Markets?
Divergence in technical analysis happens when the price of a stock moves in a direction opposite to certain indicators. This is a crucial concept in financial markets as it can signal either a trend reversal or a continuation of the current correction in the trend. Understanding divergence helps traders and analysts make more informed decisions.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
A positive regular divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend, where two price lows form. This divergence appears when the price chart shows a new low, but the indicator does not follow, signaling potential buying opportunities.
Positive divergence indicates increased buying pressure and reduced selling pressure, making it a useful signal for forecasting price increases.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
A negative regular divergence is seen during an uptrend when two price highs form. The price chart records a new high, but the indicator does not reflect this change, suggesting that a market downturn is likely.
This type of divergence shows strong selling pressure and weaker buying activity, which can help identify selling opportunities.
Both positive and negative divergences are powerful tools for identifying potential trend reversals and key support and resistance levels. For example, when an indicator trends upward while the price moves downward, this creates divergence, warning traders to reconsider their investment strategy.
🟣 Different Types of Divergence in Trading
1. Regular Divergence :
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2. Hidden Divergence :
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence.
Note : This guide focuses specifically on Regular Divergence.
🟣 What is Regular Divergence?
Regular Divergence, often referred to as convergence, occurs when price action and indicators show conflicting patterns, usually signaling the end of a trend. Detecting regular divergence helps traders anticipate potential trend reversals or the formation of reversal patterns.
🔵 How to Use
To optimize the detection of divergence, you can adjust the Fractal Period to specify the length of time for identifying divergence patterns.
Additionally, with the Divergence Detection Method, you can select oscillators like the MACD, RSI, or AO to base divergence detection on.
Divergence in MACD :
MACD divergence occurs when the price chart forms an opposite pattern compared to the MACD line, indicating a potential price reversal.
Divergence in RSI :
In a downtrend, if the price chart forms two consecutive lows with the second lower than the first, but the RSI shows two lows with the second higher, this indicates positive regular divergence, which is a buy signal.
On the other hand, during an uptrend, if the price forms two highs with the second higher than the first, but the RSI shows the second high lower, this points to negative regular divergence, indicating a sell signal.
Divergence in AO (Awesome Oscillator) :
The AO indicator calculates histograms using the difference between 5-period and 34-period simple moving averages. It compares peaks and troughs of these histograms with price movements, detecting divergence and plotting lines and arrows to signal divergence.
🔵 Table
The following table breaks down the main features of the oscillator. It covers four critical categories: Exist, Consecutive, Divergence Quality, and Change Phase Indicator.
Exist : If divergence is detected, a "+" will appear in this row.
Consecutive: Shows the number of consecutive divergences that have formed in a short period.
Divergence Quality : Evaluates the quality of the divergence based on the number of occurrences. One is labeled "Normal," two are "Good," and three or more are considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change is detected between two oscillation peaks, this is marked in the table.
Kurutoga Histogram with HTF and LTF
Kurutoga Histogram:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a technical analysis indicator designed to measure price divergence from the 50% level of a recent price range. By calculating how far the current price is from the midpoint of a selected base length of candles, the histogram provides insight into the momentum, strength, and potential reversals in the market. Additionally, it can be applied across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of both short- and long-term market dynamics.
Key Components:
Base Length:
The base length is the number of candles (bars) over which the high and low prices are observed. The default base length is typically 14 periods, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preference.
This base length defines the range from which the 50% level, or midpoint, is calculated.
50% Level (Midpoint):
The midpoint is the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the selected base length. This 50% level acts as an equilibrium point around which the price fluctuates.
Formula:
Midpoint = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2
The price’s distance from this midpoint is an indicator of how strong the current trend or divergence is.
Price Divergence:
The main calculation of the histogram is the difference between the current closing price and the midpoint of the price range.
Formula:
Divergence = Close Price − Midpoint
A positive divergence (price above the midpoint) indicates bullish strength, while a negative divergence (price below the midpoint) indicates bearish strength.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The Kurutoga Histogram can be applied to both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF), allowing traders to gauge price movement in both short-term and long-term contexts.
By comparing the histograms of multiple timeframes, traders can determine if there is alignment (confluence) between trends, which can strengthen trade signals or provide additional confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
Blue Bars (Positive Divergence): Represent that the price is above the 50% level, indicating bullish momentum. Taller blue bars suggest stronger upward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest weakening strength.
Red Bars (Negative Divergence): Represent that the price is below the 50% level, indicating bearish momentum. Taller red bars suggest stronger downward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest a potential reversal or consolidation.
The histogram’s color intensity and transparency can be adjusted to enhance the visual effect, distinguishing between current timeframe (LTF) and higher timeframe (HTF) divergence.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signals: When the histogram bars are blue and growing, the price is gaining momentum above the midpoint of its recent range. This could signal an ongoing uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the histogram bars are red and growing, the price is gaining momentum below the midpoint, signaling an ongoing downtrend.
Momentum Shifts: When the histogram bars shrink in size (whether blue or red), it could indicate that the current trend is losing strength and may reverse or enter consolidation.
Neutral or Sideways Movement: When the histogram bars hover around zero, it means the price is trading near the midpoint of its recent range, often signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
When the current timeframe (LTF) histogram aligns with the higher timeframe (HTF) histogram (e.g., both are showing strong bullish or bearish divergence), it may provide stronger confirmation of the trend's strength.
Divergence between timeframes (e.g., bullish on LTF but bearish on HTF) may suggest that price movements on lower timeframes are not yet reflected in the broader trend, signaling caution.
Applications:
Trend Identification: The Kurutoga Histogram is highly useful for detecting when the price is trending away from its equilibrium point, providing insight into the strength of ongoing trends.
Momentum Analysis: By measuring the divergence from the 50% level, the histogram helps traders identify when momentum is increasing or decreasing.
Reversal Detection: Shrinking histogram bars can signal weakening momentum, which often precedes trend reversals.
Consolidation and Breakouts: When the histogram remains near zero for an extended period, it suggests consolidation, which often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Advantages:
Clear Visuals: The use of a color-coded histogram makes it easy to visually assess whether the market is gaining bullish or bearish momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Utility: The ability to compare current timeframe signals with higher timeframe signals adds an extra layer of confirmation, reducing false signals.
Dynamic Adjustment: By adjusting the base length, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match different markets or trading styles.
Limitations:
Lagging Indicator: Like most divergence indicators, the Kurutoga Histogram may lag slightly behind actual price movements, especially during fast, volatile markets.
Requires Confirmation: This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical tools like moving averages, support/resistance levels, or volume indicators, to avoid relying on divergence alone.
Conclusion:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a versatile and visually intuitive tool for measuring price divergence from a key equilibrium point, helping traders to assess the strength of trends and identify potential reversal points. Its use across multiple timeframes provides deeper insights, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy that emphasizes momentum and trend following.
BRT MACD CustomBRT MACD Custom — Adaptive and Flexible MACD for Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The BRT MACD Custom is an advanced version of the traditional MACD indicator, offering additional flexibility and adaptability for multi-timeframe trading. This custom script allows traders to adjust the calculation parameters for MACD to suit their specific trading strategy, timeframe, and market conditions.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support
Unlike the standard MACD, this indicator lets you choose a specific timeframe (different from the chart timeframe) for calculating MACD values. This feature provides more flexibility in analyzing market trends on multiple timeframes without changing the main chart.
Example: You can analyze MACD on a 15-minute timeframe even when your chart is set to 1-minute, giving you broader market insights.
Customizable EMA and Signal Settings
Users can adjust the fast and slow EMA lengths as well as the signal smoothing to better align with their preferred trading strategies. The script allows switching between the two popular types of moving averages — SMA or EMA — for both the MACD and the signal line.
Volatility-Based Adaptive EMA
The script includes an adaptive mechanism for EMA calculation. When the selected timeframe closes, the indicator dynamically adjusts the calculation, ensuring the MACD values respond quickly to market volatility. This makes the indicator more reactive compared to static MACD implementations.
Shift Options for MACD, Signal, and Histogram
The indicator allows shifting the MACD, signal line, and histogram values by one or more bars. This can be useful for backtesting and simulating strategies where you anticipate future price movements.
Signal Alerts for Long and Short Trades
The script generates visual signals when certain conditions are met, indicating potential long or short trade opportunities. These signals are based on MACD and histogram crossovers:
Long Signal: Triggered when MACD is above the signal line and both are rising.
Short Signal: Triggered when MACD is below the signal line and both are falling.
Custom Plotting
The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are plotted on the chart for easy visualization. The histogram changes colors to reflect positive or negative momentum:
Green shades when MACD is above the signal line.
Red shades when MACD is below the signal line.
Applications in Trading
The BRT MACD Custom is ideal for traders who need flexibility in their technical analysis. Its multi-timeframe capabilities and customizable moving averages make it suitable for day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing across a variety of markets.
Scalping: Use the 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe to identify short-term trends while calculating MACD on a higher timeframe such as 15 or 30 minutes.
Swing Trading: Apply the indicator on 1-hour or 4-hour charts to detect mid-term trends.
Long-Term Investing: Analyze daily or weekly charts with longer EMA periods to confirm market direction before making large investments.
Trend Following Regression CloudTrend Following Regression Cloud Indicator
The Trend Following Regression Cloud is a versatile trading tool designed to help you effortlessly identify the market's prevailing trend. By analyzing price movements over multiple time frames, it provides a clear visual representation of whether the market is trending upwards or downwards.
How It Works:
- Adaptive Analysis: The indicator calculates linear regression lines over various periods ranging from short-term to long-term (e.g., 10, 20, 50, up to 500 periods). This means it adapts quickly to recent market changes, capturing new trends as they develop.
- Noise Reduction: By comparing and weighting the slopes of these regression lines, it filters out insignificant price fluctuations (market noise). This ensures that the signals you receive are more reliable and less prone to false alarms.
- Cloud Calculation: The cloud is generated by first calculating the slopes of multiple linear regression lines over different lengths. The differences between the slopes of shorter-term and longer-term regressions are then computed and weighted by their respective lengths. By summing up these weighted differences, the indicator produces a "total distance" value. This value is applied to a baseline (such as a 100-period simple moving average) to create the cloud line. The area between the baseline and the cloud line is filled, and its color changes based on whether the total distance is positive or negative, providing a visual cue of the market's trend direction.
- Visual Representation: The indicator plots two lines—a base line and a cloud line—creating a shaded area (the "cloud") between them. The color of this cloud changes based on market conditions:
- Green Cloud: Indicates that short-term trends are stronger than long-term trends, suggesting an upward market movement. This could be a good time to consider buying.
- Red Cloud: Signifies that the market may be trending downwards, as long-term trends overpower short-term ones. This could be an opportune moment to consider selling.
RoC Momentum CycleRoC Momentum Cycles (RMC) is derived from RoC (Rate of Change) indicator.
Motivation behind RMC: Addressing RoC’s Shortcomings
While the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator is a valuable tool for assessing momentum, it has notable limitations that traders must be aware of. One of the primary challenges with the traditional RoC is its sensitivity to price fluctuations, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets. This often results in premature entries or exits, impacting trading performance.
By smoothing out the RoC calculations and focusing on more consistent signal generation (using SMA on smoothed RoC), RMC offers a more consistent representation of price trends.
Momentum Cycles
RMC helps visualize momentum cycles in a much better way compared to RoC.
Long Momentum Cycle : A cross-over of smoothed RoC (blue line) above averaged signal (orange line) below zero marks start of a new potential upside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero line from above.
Short Momentum Cycle : A cross-under of blue line below orange line above zero marks beginning of a potential downside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero from below.
Normalized ZScoreThe Normalized ZScore Indicator is a dynamic tool designed to help traders identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It calculates the ZScore of the price movement relative to a moving average, allowing users to track the deviation of price from its average and normalize it within a fixed range for clearer signal generation. The indicator can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies, offering customizable options for various trading styles.
How It Works
This indicator works by calculating two distinct ZScores:
Standard ZScore: Based on the price deviation from a simple moving average (SMA).
Fast ZScore: Calculated using price deviation from the SMA combined with standard deviation over a shorter period.
The ZScore values are normalized between -100 and 100, allowing for consistent and comparable signal outputs across different assets and timeframes.
Key Features
Customizable MA and Deviation Lengths: Adjust the length of the moving average (MA Length) and deviation (Deviation Length) to suit your trading needs.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: The indicator highlights areas where the market may be overbought or oversold using a user-defined threshold.
Color-Coded Signals: The ZScore plot changes color based on market conditions:
Positive ZScore (overbought) = Customizable Positive Color
Neutral ZScore = Customizable Middle Color
Negative ZScore (oversold) = Customizable Negative Color
Trend Filtering Option: The built-in trend filter helps to enhance signal accuracy by factoring in the overall market trend.
Signal Shapes:
Diamonds: Indicate strong long or short entry signals when ZScore crosses predefined thresholds.
X-Crosses: Indicate weaker long or short entry signals for users preferring caution in their trades.
Inputs
MA Length: Set the length of the moving average used for calculating the ZScore.
Deviation Length: Set the length used for deviation calculations.
OBS Threshold: Set the threshold for defining overbought and oversold zones.
Trend Filter: Enable or disable the trend filter for added signal confidence.

Overbought/Oversold Zones: Visualized with horizontal lines and fill colors to highlight extremes.
Bar Coloring: Bars change colors when ZScore exceeds overbought/oversold zones, enhancing visual clarity.
Signal Markers: Diamond or X-shaped markers appear on the chart to indicate potential trade signals.
How to Use
Entry Points: Look for the ZScore to cross into overbought/oversold regions for potential reversal trades. Use the diamonds and X-crosses for long and short entries.
Trend Filter: Enable the trend filter to avoid taking trades against the overall market trend.
Customize Settings: Adjust the lengths and colors to match your specific trading strategy and timeframe.
Donchian Channels Osciliator with MA validationWhat's it all about?
This nifty little tool, the Donchian Channels Oscillator, helps you spot when a stock might be overbought or oversold. It's like a price detective, looking for clues in the historical data to figure out if it's time to buy or sell.
How does it work?
Think of it as a seesaw. When the price is way above the Donchian Channels, it's like the seesaw is tilted too far to one side. That might mean it's time to sell before it falls. On the other hand, if the price is way below the channels, it's like the seesaw is tilted too far to the other side. This could be a good sign to buy, as the price might be ready to bounce back.
Key Points:
Donchian Channels: These are like safety nets. They're calculated based on the highest and lowest prices over a certain period.
Oscillator: This is just a fancy word for a tool that swings back and forth. In this case, it swings between overbought and oversold zones.
EMA-Line: This is a smoothed-out version of the oscillator. It helps you see the overall trend more clearly.
How to Use It:
Add it to your chart: Find it in the indicator search bar.
Adjust settings: You can tweak the length of the Donchian Channels and the offset to fit your trading style.
Watch the swings: When the oscillator goes way up, it might be time to sell. When it goes way down, it might be time to buy. But always use this with other indicators for confirmation.
Remember: This is just a tool, not a magic crystal ball. Don't rely solely on it for trading decisions. Always do your own research and consider other factors.
Happy trading!

Trend CCITrend CCI (TCCI) Indicator
Description:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator is a unique combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Average True Range (ATR), designed to identify trends and market reversals with a refined sensitivity to price volatility. The indicator plots the CCI, adjusted by an ATR filter, and color-codes the trendline to signal uptrends and downtrends.
How It Works:
This indicator uses the CCI to measure price momentum and an ATR-based filter to smooth out market noise, making it easier to detect significant shifts in the market trend. Key parameters such as the ATR Period, ATR Multiplier, and CCI Period have been carefully chosen to optimize the indicator's performance:
1. ATR Period (default: 18)
The ATR Period determines the number of periods used to calculate the **Average True Range**, which reflects market volatility. In this case, an **ATR Period of 18** has been selected for several reasons:
Balance between responsiveness and noise reduction : A period of 18 strikes a balance between being responsive to recent price movements and filtering out minor fluctuations. Shorter ATR periods might be too reactive, creating false signals, while longer periods might miss shorter-term trends.
Adaptable to various market conditions : An 18-period ATR is suitable for both intraday and swing trading strategies, making it versatile across different time frames.
Standard industry practice : Many traders use ATR settings between 14 and 20 periods as a convention for detecting reliable volatility levels.
2. ATR Multiplier (default: 1.5)
The ATR Multiplier is applied to the ATR value to define how sensitive the indicator is to volatility. In this case, a multiplier of 1.5 has been chosen:
Avoiding whipsaws in low volatility markets: By setting the multiplier to 1.5, the indicator filters out smaller, less significant price movements, reducing the likelihood of whipsaw signals (i.e., false trend reversals during periods of low volatility).
Optimizing signal accuracy: A moderate multiplier like 1.5 ensures that the indicator only generates signals when the price moves a significant distance from the average range. Higher multipliers (e.g., 2.0) may ignore valid opportunities, while lower multipliers (e.g., 1.0) might create too many signals.
Enhancing trend clarity : The multiplier’s role in widening the range allows the indicator to respond more clearly during periods of strong trends, reducing signal noise and false positives.
3. CCI Period (default: 63)
The CCI Period defines the number of periods used to calculate the Commodity Channel Index. A 63-period CCI is selected based on the following considerations:
Smoothing the momentum calculation: A longer period, such as 63, is used to smooth out the CCI and reduce the effects of short-term price fluctuations. This period captures longer-term momentum, making it ideal for identifying more significant market trends.
-Filtering out short-term noise: While shorter CCI periods (e.g., 14 or 20) may be more reactive, they tend to produce more signals, some of which may be false. A 63-period CCI focuses on stronger and more sustained price movements, providing fewer but higher-quality signals.
Adapted to intermediate trading: A 63-period CCI aligns well with traders looking for medium-term trend-following strategies, striking a balance between long-term trend identification and responsiveness to significant price shifts.
How to Use:
Green Area: When the trendline turns green, it signals that the CCI is positive, reflecting upward momentum. This can be interpreted as a buy signal, indicating the potential for long positions or continuing bullish trades.
Red Area: When the trendline turns red, it signals that the CCI is negative, reflecting downward momentum. This can be interpreted as a sell signal, indicating potential short positions or bearish trades.
ATR Filter: The ATR helps reduce false signals by ignoring minor price movements. Traders can adjust the ATR Multiplier to make the indicator more or less sensitive based on market conditions. A lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) may increase signal frequency, while a higher multiplier (e.g., 2.0) reduces it.
Originality:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) stands out due to its combination of the CCI and ATR. While many indicators simply plot raw CCI values, this script enhances the CCI’s effectiveness by incorporating an ATR-based volatility filter. This ensures that only significant trends trigger signals, making it a more reliable tool in volatile markets. The choice of the ATR period, multiplier, and CCI period ensures a refined balance between trend detection and noise reduction, distinguishing it as a powerful trend-following indicator.
Additionally, the visual aspect—using color-coded trendlines that dynamically shift between green and red—simplifies the interpretation of market trends, offering traders a clear and immediate understanding of trend direction and momentum strength.
Final Recommendations:
Use in Trending Markets The TCCI is most effective in trending markets, where its signals align with broader market momentum. In sideways or low-volatility markets, consider adjusting the ATR multiplier or using other complementary indicators to confirm the signals.
Risk Management: Always integrate robust risk management practices, such as using stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect against sudden market reversals or periods of heightened volatility.
Adjust for Volatility: Consider the volatility of the asset being traded. In highly volatile assets, a higher ATR multiplier (e.g., 2.0) may be necessary to filter out noise, while in more stable assets, a lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) might generate earlier signals.
By using the Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator with a deeper understanding of its key parameters, traders can better identify trends, reduce noise, and improve their overall decision-making in the markets.

E9 PLRRThe E9 PLRR (Power Law Residual Ratio) is a custom-built indicator designed to evaluate the overvaluation or undervaluation of an asset, specifically by utilizing logarithmic price data and a power law-based model. It leverages a dynamic regression technique to assess the deviation of the current price from its expected value, giving insights into how much the price deviates from its long-term trend.
This indicator is primarily used to detect market extremes and cycles, often used in the analysis of long-term price movements in assets like Bitcoin, where cyclical behavior and significant price deviations are common.
This chart is back from 2019 and shows (From left to right) 2018 Bear market bottom at $3.5k (Dark Blue) , following a peak at 12k (dark red) before the Covid crash back down to EUROTLX:4K (Dark blue)
Key Components
Logarithmic Price Data:
The indicator works with logarithmic price data (ohlc4), which represents the average of open, high, low, and close prices. The logarithmic transformation is crucial in financial modeling, especially when analyzing long-term price data, as it normalizes exponential price growth patterns.
Dynamic Exponent 𝑘:
The model calculates a dynamic exponent k using regression, which defines the power law relationship between time and price. This exponent is essential in determining the expected power law price return and how far the current price deviates from that expected trend.
Power Law Price Return:
The power law price return is computed using the dynamic exponent
k over a defined period, such as 365 days (1 year). It represents the theoretical price return based on a power law relationship, which is used to compare against the actual logarithmic price data.
Risk-Free Rate:
The indicator incorporates an adjustable risk-free rate, allowing users to model the opportunity cost of holding an asset compared to risk-free alternatives. By default, the risk-free rate is set to 0%, but this can be modified depending on the user's requirements.
Volatility Adjustment:
A key feature of the PLRR is its ability to adjust for price volatility. The indicator smooths out short-term price fluctuations using a moving average, helping to detect longer-term cycles and trends.
PLRR Calculation:
The core of the indicator is the calculation of the Power Law Residual Ratio (PLRR). This is derived by subtracting the expected power law price return and risk-free rate from the logarithmic price return, then multiplying the result by a user-defined multiplier.
Color Gradient:
The PLRR values are represented visually using a color gradient. This gradient helps the user quickly identify whether the asset is in an undervalued, fair value, or overvalued state:
Dark Blue to Light Blue: Indicates undervaluation, with increasing blue tones representing a higher degree of undervaluation.
Green to Yellow: Represents fair value, where the price is aligned with the expected power law return.
Orange to Dark Red: Indicates overvaluation, with increasing red tones representing a higher degree of overvaluation.
Zero Line:
A zero line is plotted on the indicator chart, serving as a reference point. Values above the zero line suggest potential overvaluation, while values below indicate potential undervaluation.
Dots Visualization:
The PLRR is plotted using dots, with each dot color-coded based on the PLRR value. This dot-based visualization makes it easier to spot significant changes or reversals in market sentiment without overwhelming the user with continuous lines.
Bar Coloring:
The chart’s bars are colored in accordance with the PLRR value at each point in time, making it visually clear when an asset is potentially overvalued or undervalued.
Indicator Functionality
Cycle Identification : The E9 PLRR is especially useful for identifying cyclical market behavior. In assets like Bitcoin, which are known for their boom-bust cycles, the PLRR can help pinpoint when the market is likely entering a peak (overvaluation) or a trough (undervaluation).
Overvaluation and Undervaluation Detection: By comparing the current price to its expected power law return, the PLRR helps traders assess whether an asset is trading above or below its fair value. This is critical for long-term investors seeking to enter the market at undervalued levels and exit during periods of overvaluation.
Trend Following: The indicator helps users identify the broader trend by smoothing out short-term volatility. This makes it useful for both momentum traders looking to ride trends and contrarian traders seeking to capitalize on market extremes.
Customization
The E9 PLRR allows users to fine-tune several parameters based on their preferences or specific market conditions:
Lookback Period:
The user can adjust the lookback period (default: 100) to modify how the moving average and regression are calculated.
Risk-Free Rate:
Adjusting the risk-free rate allows for more realistic modeling of the opportunity cost of holding the asset.
Multiplier:
The multiplier (default: 5.688) amplifies the sensitivity of the PLRR, allowing users to adjust how aggressively the indicator responds to price movements.
This indicator was inspired by the works of Ashwin & PlanG and their work around powerLaw. Thank you. I hall be working on the calculation of this indicator moving forward to make improvements and optomisations.
