VolumeFlowVolume & price have a direct correlation with each other. If the fundamental value changes, the price changes and volume follows. If the technicals change, volume changes and price follows.
Because the relationship between volume and price is so connected, I created a script highlighting important volume flow measurements.
The VolumeFlow indicator combines several volume measurements into 1 indicator.
1) Volume net inflow / outflow
2) Volume total flow change
3) Volume cumulation flow
The VolumeFlow indicator uses a scale from 100 high to -100 low, with the zero level being neutral.
The VolumeFlow indicator has 4 inputs:
1) +Volume-
2) VolumeFast
3) VolumeSlow
4) Accum/Dist
Default inputs:
+Volume-
length = 1, color = + green or - red
VolumeFast
length = 2, color = blue
VolumeSlow
length = 3, color = white
Accum/Dist
length = 5, color = brown
Horizontal lines
length = 100, 50, 0, -50, -100, color = white
* The VolumeFlow indicator uses altered pieces of code from my Options360 FibVIP indicator, Tradingview "Up / down volume" indicator and Tradingview "Accumulation/Distribution" indicator. *

Momentum Deviation Bands [Loxx]Momentum Deviation Bands uses a variation of standard deviation. Instead of using price to calculate standard deviation, this uses momentum. This is another type of volatility that will be used in future indicators. This indicator serves more as an educational tool, but can also be used in trading.

GRIDBOT Scalper by nnamWhat is this Indicator used for?
Made specifically for GRID Bots
note: before continuing... this indicator works on any timeframe, but it WORKS BEST ON THE 15 MINUTE TIMEFRAME
Straters and Forex Master Pattern Value Line Traders use this to help determine when the price could reverse.
This indicator is a scalping indicator that produces signals when a "potential" reversal in price is indicated. When the price moves UP and a Potential Bearish Reversal Signal occurs, traders can use this signal as a potential SHORT entry signal for their Short Grid Bot. The process is the same in reverse. After a sustained move down, a Potential Bullish Signal can be used by the trader as a potential LONG entry signal for their GridBot.
As shown in the screenshot below, lines develop on the chart (either RED or GREEN) indicating that a sustained move in one direction is currently occurring; however, there is no potential reversal signal plotted (this means that price action is currently moving in one direction only).
As shown in the screenshot below, lines can be used as a stop-loss after entering the GRIDbot. (usually, by this time, the Grid Bot is in Profit as it usually moves in the opposite direction first)
What this Indicator Does
The GRIDBOT Scalper provides information regarding potential reversals in the market after a sustained movement in one direction (either Bullish or Bearish).
The indicator is based on PRICE-ACTION ONLY and does not take into account the current state of the market (Bullish or Bearish).
Once the price moves in a particular direction for at least 14 bars , a line appears as shown in a previous screenshot. Once the price stops moving in that direction and begins moving in the opposite direction - and after a sustained run - a "signal" appears alerting the trader that a "potential" reversal could be on the horizon soon.
If price moves in one direction and plots both a line and a signal and then begins moving back in the other direction in a sustained manner, the original signal will remain even when a NEW line begins forming (the original line will disappear). (see below) This line will continue to move as the price continues to move. Not until a signal plots on the chart is the potential reversal forming. THE LINE DOES NOT SIGNAL A REVERSAL . Some traders, however, use this information to "ride the wave UP or DOWN" and exit their positions once the signal prints.
As shown below, optional input settings allow the trader to set the line at CLOSE or HIGH/LOW of the candle preceding the potential reversal.
It is suggested to use Close instead of High or Low but the setting allows one to use either.
As shown in the screenshot below, it is typical on LOWER TIME FRAMES to see the price pass the signal line. The Indicator works best on the 15 minute timeframe, as it gives the trader time to make the decisions required as the volatility is less on the 15 minute chart vs the 1 minute or 5 minute charts.

Balance of Force (BOF)The script "Balance of Force" is an indicator that aims to provide insight into the bullish and bearish forces present in the market by analyzing the relationship between bullish and bearish true ranges. The indicator first calculates the bearish and bullish true ranges by taking the absolute difference between the open and close prices for each period and summing these values over a user-specified length. It then calculates the ratio of the bullish true range to the bearish true range and takes the natural logarithm of this value, resulting in the "bullish-bearish ratio".
The script then calculates the standard deviation of this ratio over a user-specified length to create a measure of volatility. Using this deviation and the dominant cycle, it then applies an exponential moving average to smooth the ratio. The indicator plots the smoothed ratio, the raw ratio, and the deviation of the ratio multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 in addition to filling the area between the deviation multiplied by 3 and the log(1) with red and green. The user can use the indicator to identify potential bullish or bearish market conditions by analyzing the relationship between the smoothed ratio and the log(1) and the deviation of the ratio.
AII - Average indicator of indicatorsThis Pine Script for TradingView is a technical analysis tool that visualizes the average of several popular indicators in the trading world. The indicators included are the RSI (Relative Strength Index), RVI (Relative Vigor Index), Stochastic RSI, Williams %R, relative MACD (ranging from 0 to 100), and Bollinger Bands price distance from 0 to 100. The script uses the "input" function to customize the length of the indicators and the "plot" function to display the results on the chart. In addition, options are included to turn off certain indicators and change the line colors if the user desires. All indicators can also be activated independently, allowing the user to see only the indicators they want. It is also mentioned that the script will be improved in the future to offer a better user experience. The calculated values are calculated with the default EMA of 14. Overall, this script is an excellent option for those looking for a combined view of several important indicators for making trading decisions.
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

Rotational Gravity OscillatorMade using elements from two Cheatcountry scripts:
Includes a Bollinger Band for bounds that forms a trend follower based on the 0 point.
Includes CheatCountry color code signals, different color scheme. Bright colors are strong signals, ark are weak, green bull, red bear, the basics.
Switches for Bollinger Band color codes, which can actually be useful signals.
This oscillator can be used for divergences, trends, signal strength, confirmation, volatility readings, you name it.
It is a comparative oscillator, that compares adaptively smoothed, weighted modified Change of Gravity oscillators between 2 symbols and multiple lengths to determine directional momentum as one asset compares to another.
The default uses the Crypto TOTAL market cap to help trade cryptocurrencies. You will notice that BTC will give sell signals in uptrends at times. That is because it is being compared to an index of the total Crypto market cap, and since alt-coins move faster, BTC will lag behind this index.
Give CheatCountry a follow, hes one of the MVPs of Tradingview Pinescripters, constantly giving us access to novel new concepts as they are published by professionals.
MACD MTF LinesThe indicator shows the MACD histogram sign (positive or negative) for several timeframes at once. You can see at a glance how the price is trending across higher and lower timeframes.
The code uses recursive calculations for the SMA and EMA to avoid lookahead errors and repainting on higher timeframes.
Note that, for lower timeframes, the line becomes yellow to the left because history is limited and there are not enough bars to calculate.
True Range Adjusted Exponential Momentum [CC]-[burgered]Original Script by CheatCountry, used with permission (chill guy):
I have made a sort of conversion of CheatCountries implementation of the True Range Adjusted Exponential Moving Average into a momentum oscillator.
Being True Range based, it the bounds vary based on the chart.
Includes a Bollinger Band for bounds that forms a trend follower based on the 0 point.
Includes CheatCountry color code signals, different color scheme. Bright colors are strong signals, ark are weak, green bull, red bear, the basics.
This oscillator can be used for divergences, trends, signal strength, confirmation, volatility readings, you name it.
Works well on smoothed/filtered signals as well.

Laguerre Stochastic | AdulariDescription:
The Laguerre Stochastic is similar to a 4-period regular Stochastic, except that a Laguerre transform has been applied for price smoothing. The Laguerre transform is a mathematical technique that allows smooth indicators to be built using small amounts of data.
How do I use it?
Never use this indicator as standalone trading signal, it should be used as confluence.
When the value is above the middle line this shows the bullish trend is strong.
When the value is below the middle line this shows the bearish trend is strong.
When the value crosses above the upper line this indicates the trend may reverse downwards.
When the value crosses below the lower line this indicates the trend may reverse upwards.
When the value crosses above the signal this indicates the current bearish trend is getting weak and may reverse upwards.
When the value crosses below the signal this indicates the current bullish trend is getting weak and may reverse downwards.
Features:
Oscillator value indicating the difference between highs and lows fractioned by the close price.
%D value acting as a smoothed version of the %K.
Horizontal lines such as oversold, overbought and middle lines, indicating possible interest zones.
How does it work?
1 — Calculate regular Stochastic value.
2 — Apply the Laguerre transform.
3 — Calculate %D value by applying smoothing to the %K value.
BTC Pair Change %This script makes it easier to quickly check how the BTC pair of the current symbol is performing on any pair.
It adds a " change percentage widge t" (of the BTC pair ) to the top right of the chart.
(Refer to the image for an example.)
The change percentage calculation is performed as described here:
www.tradingview.com
To match the "Chg%" that appears on TradingView watchlists, a 24H (1440min) timeframe is used, as described here:
money.stackexchange.com
In short, this script:
Searches for the BTC pair of the current symbol
Calculates the change % using the above described logic (links)
Adds a " change percentage widget " (of the BTC pair) to the top right of the chart
Allows for using 24H timeframe or the current timeframe (enable " Use current timeframe " under the script options)
Multi SMI Ergodic OscillatorThe Multi SMI Ergodic Oscillator (Multi SMIEO) indicator can be used to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the relationship between the TSI and EMA lines.
The script is creating an indicator that plots multiple (3) sets of Time Series Indicator (TSI-Indicator) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA-Signal) lines as a single indicator.
The TSI is a momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought and oversold conditions. It is calculated using the close prices of an asset, a short-term moving average, and a long-term moving average. The script uses three different pairs of input values for the short-term and long-term periods, which can be adjusted by the user.
The EMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices. It is calculated by applying a weighting factor to the most recent price, and then adding that weighted value to the previous EMA value. The script uses three different input values for the length of the EMA, which can also be adjusted by the user.
After calculating the TSI and EMA for each set, the script plots them on the same graph, with different colors and widths to differentiate them. The three sets of TSI and EMA lines are plotted to allow the user to compare the results of different periods. The script also plots a horizontal line at zero, which is used as a reference point for the oscillations of the indicator lines.
One way to use this indicator is to look for crossovers between the TSI and the EMA lines. A bullish crossover occurs when the TSI crosses above the EMA. This suggests that the buying pressure is increasing and a potential buy signal is generated. A bearish crossover occurs when the TSI crosses below the EMA. This suggests that the selling pressure is increasing and a potential sell signal is generated.
Some other ways that the indicator can be used include:
1. Identifying trends: The TSI and EMA lines can be used to identify the direction of the trend. An uptrend is present when the TSI and EMA lines are both trending upwards, while a downtrend is present when the TSI and EMA lines are both trending downwards.
2. Overbought and oversold conditions: The TSI can be used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. When the TSI is above the upper limit of the range, the asset is considered overbought and may be due for a price correction. Conversely, when the TSI is below the lower limit of the range, the asset is considered oversold and may be due for a price rebound.
3. Confirming price action: The Multi SMIEO indicator can be used to confirm price action. If a bullish divergence is present, it confirms a potential bullish reversal. If a bearish divergence is present, it confirms a potential bearish reversal.
4. Multiple time frame analysis: By using different periods for the TSI and EMA lines, the indicator can be used to analyze the asset on multiple time frames. It can be useful to compare the results of different periods to get a better understanding of the asset's price movements.
5. Risk management: This indicator can be used as an element of risk management strategy, it can help traders to identify overbought and oversold conditions to set stop loss or take profit levels.
The Multi SMI Ergodic Oscillator (Multi SMIEO) is a versatile indicator that can be used in a number of ways to analyze the price movements of an asset. It can be used to identify potential buy and sell signals, trends, overbought and oversold conditions, and to confirm price action. By using different periods for the TSI and EMA lines, the indicator can also be used to analyze the asset on multiple time frames. However, it is important to remember that indicators are based on historical data, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
It is important to use the indicator as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes risk management and other analysis techniques, such as fundamental and technical analysis. It is also important to keep in mind that indicators are not a standalone solution for trading, they should be used in conjunction with other market analysis and research techniques to generate better results.
Lastly, it is important to keep in mind that trading in financial markets comes with a certain level of risk and it is crucial to always have a proper risk management plan in place. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
RSI Pull-BackA pull-back occurs whenever the price or the value of an indicator breaks a line and comes back to test it before continuing in the prevailing trend.
The RSI has oversold and overbought levels such as 20 and 80 and whenever the market breaks them returns to normality, we can await a pull-back to them before the reversal continues.
This indicator shows the following signals:
* A bullish signal is generated whenever the RSI surpasses the chosen oversold level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without breaking it again.
* A bearish signal is generated whenever the RSI breaks the chosen overbought level then directly shapes a pull-back to it without surpassing it again.
Supply and Demand Zone ConfirmationHello traders and investors,
Today, I am going to share an indicator that I made by mixing RSI and CCI in different timeframe. You can use this indicator in various ways, however the best possible way I would recommend you to use it is to combine it with price action. I would suggest to play with, so you can decide if it works the best for you.
The whole purpose of making this indicator was to eliminate confusion around different indicators for overbought and oversold and many other headaches. You use price action and you are looking for confirmation to see there is a PRZ? here is your indicator. I found there are certain patterns with CCI and RSI in higher timeframe which helps to find the PRZ and I made this indicator with it.
You can choose to use this indicator in different timeframe. But you have to consider, the lower timeframe you'll go, you will get more signals but the effectiveness goes down with it. Also, if you are willing to change the time frame, You have to change some settings as well which I'll get into it in a moment.
The default settings are for 30min timeframe with these settings.
ibb.co
In case you would like to go to 15min time frame, here is the suggested changes in the setting.
ibb.co
I would suggest to play with different timeframe to find the suitable setting for the pairs you would like to trade. The main goal is you have to choose first CCI one timeframe higher ( if you are in 5min chart, first CCI should be at least 15 or 30min) and the second CCI one timeframe higher than first CCI (if you choose 15min for first CCI, go with 1hr for second CCI). And lastly, RSI can be variable but it is suggested to be at least as low as first CCI timeframe.
Lastly, you have to consider nothing in this script is a financial advice, it is only to help you improve your trading style by making other indicators as simple as possible.
Generalized Smooth StepHello, folks. Sorry for not posting anything for a long time, just busy with my university studies for the moment.
Quick script for today — Smooth Step.
You can search for it in Wikipedia, but saying shortly and informatively, this is just an advanced type of oscillator, used as momentum indicator.
In the codes across the Internet everybody uses the 3rd order equation, BUT I found it kinda boring to use indicator this simple, so I made an option to choose the order of the equation in the settings — parameter "Order of the equation". This why it is called generalized smooth step, as it makes possible to use equation of virtually any order.
It is limited to 18 because very strange behaviour that you get after passing 18th order (it jsut becomes not tradeable any longer).
As I've mentioned above, it is an advanced version of classical oscillator, used as momentum indicator .
How to use it?
If smooth step is above 50, then the price momentum is bullish;
If smooth step is below 50, then the price momentum is bearish.
As simple as it is, it becomes useful enough on the higher timeframes (>=1H), so feel free to play with it and find optimal settings for yourself.
Hints
Try perform different smoothing and leading methods (developed by Ehler) to get better results;
You can use smooth step as confirmation/filter for trend-following trades.
Hope you will find it valueable.
Take your profits!

RU:
Привет, ребята. Извините, что долго ничего не выкладывал, просто сейчас занят учебой в университете.
Быстрый скрипт на сегодня — Smooth Step.
Вы можете поискать его теоретическое обоснование в Википедии, но если говорить кратко и информативно, то это совершенствованный тип классического осциллятора, используемый в качестве моментум-индикатора .
В кодах в интернете все используют уравнение 3-го порядка, НО Мне было скучно пользоваться таким простым индикатором, поэтому я сделал возможность выбирать порядок уравнения в настройках — параметр " Порядок уравнения». Поэтому он называется обобщеннымsmooth step, так как позволяет использовать уравнение практически любого порядка.
Я ограничил порядок уравнения 18 , потому что индикатор показывает начинается очень странное поведение, когда вы делаете порядок больше 18 (индикатор просто начинается вести семя хаотично, что ли).
Как я уже упоминал выше, это усовершенствованная версия классического осциллятора, используемого в качестве моментум-индикатора .
Как им пользоваться?
Если smooth step выше 50, то импульс цены бычий;
Если smooth steз\p ниже 50, то импульс цены медвежий.
Хоть это и очень простой индикатор, он может оказаться достаточно полезным на старших таймфреймах (>=1H), так что не стесняйтесь играть с ним и находить оптимальные настройки для себя.
Советы
Попробуйте использовать различные методы сглаживания и лидирования (разработан Джоном Элером (John Ehler)), чтобы получить лучшие результаты;
Вы можете использовать smooth step в качестве подтверждения/фильтра для сделок, следующих за трендом.
Надеюсь, этот скрипт будет вам полезен.
Получите прибыль!

Stoch RSI 15 min - multi time frame tableABOUT THIS INDICATOR
This indicator calculates the Stochastic RSI for the time frames 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 4h, and 12h. However, the 15 min time frame should always be the default time frame for your chart.
IMPORTANT
* NOTE! It's extremely important that the chosen time frame for your chart is 15 min. Otherwise the Stochastic RSI for the longer time frames won’t be correctly calculated.
* Stochastic RSI will be calculated and displayed in a table for the time frames: 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 4h, 12h.
* All time frames are based on closed bars except the "15minR" that are realtime updated values calculated on a 15 min time frame.
ABOUT STOCHASTIC RSI
The Stochastic RSI (StochRSI) is a momentum indicator that ranges between 0 and 100. A Stochastic RSI value above 80 is considered overbought and below 20 is considered oversold.
By using different time frames you can get a better idea of what direction the trade could take in a "longer" perspective.
SETTINGS
1.) Length RSI = 14 (default period)
2.) Smoothing parameter of Stochastic RSI (Length Moving Average = 3) . Moving average of stochastic RSI
* By default the displayed Stochastic RSI values are smoothed values of the actual Stochastic RSI. The smoothnes is formed by a calculated moving average of with the length of 3 by default.
If you want Stochastic RSI with a sharper signal (higher risk for "false alarms" being more sensitive) change the Length Moving Average to = 1 (no smoothness at all)
You can see the selected "Length RSI" and "Length Moving Average" on top of the Stochastic RSI table.
Next version of this script will be updated with more a more flexible solution for different time frames.
* NOTE, Tradingview comes with a inbuilt Stochastic RSI. See the the chart below. The blue line in the Stochastic-RSI chart represents (K value = 3) the same value as the script calculate/display in the table.
Price Cross ━ [whvntr]This oscillator is an attractive way to view hidden price divergence... The formula originated from the Lark, but I have cleanly displayed this information. When the two moving averages (ema) cross with a simple moving average, you find the hidden price divergence. What kind of market should you use this in? It works well when a trend is already established.
Disclaimer: This indicator does not constitute investment advice. Trade at your own
risk with this method of identifying hidden price divergence.
1st Gray Cross Signals ━ Histogram SQZMOM [whvntr][LazyBear]This is the Histogram Version of one of my other indicators named: SQZ Momentum + 1st Gray Cross Signals (with arrows) Which is a modification of "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" by user: "LazyBear". In that indicator of his he described, and suggested, the use of his gray cross signals to find points of interest for trading based on the direction of momentum when the first gray cross appears... I have programmed these points, and highlighted them, for ease of use. The 1st gray cross strategy, he said , is from John F. Carter's book, Chapter 11, "Mastering the Trade".
Here we have the Histogram version, with background highlights only, and nothing on the chart, in true SQZ Momentum style.
Disclaimer: using this indicator, or any indicator anywhere, involves risk when trading and isn't a guarantee of 100% accurate results.
Volume Cross ━ (For Volume Crop) [whvntr]This fulfills a request from user: iTibu to make an oscillator to go along with one of my indicators named: " Volume Crop ━ Hidden Volume Divergence ". It essentially does the same thing, without the Midline Tool , so you can better understand where the crosses are happening. Again, the hidden MACD Divergence circles formula originated from TheLark. I converted these values to volume instead of price.
Disclaimer: using this indicator, or any indicator anywhere, involves risk when trading and isn't a guarantee of 100% accurate results.
RedK K-MACD : a MACD with some more musclesMoving Averages are probably the most commonly used analysis tools, and MACD is possibly the first charting indicator a trader gets to learn about.
MACD Basic concept
----------------------------
Without repeating all the tons of documentation about what MACD does, let's quickly re-visit the MACD concept from a 10-mile altitude (note we're keen on simplifying here rather than being technically accurate - so please forgive the use of any "common lingos")
- MACD goal is to represent the distance between 2 Moving Averages (MAs) - one fast and one slow, relatively - as an unrestricted zero-based oscillator.
- The value of the main MACD line is the distance, or the displacement between the 2 MA's
- usually a signal line is used (which is another MA of that distance value) to enable better visualization of the change (and rate of change, since this is all depicted on a time axis) of that displacement - this represents price momentum (price movement in the recent period versus movements for a relatively longer period).
- the difference between the main MACD line and its signal is then represented as a histogram above and below the zero line. in this case, that histogram is really redundant, since it shows a value that is already represented visually by the main line and its signal line.
How K-MACD is different
---------------------------------
K-MACD takes that simple concept of the classic MACD and expands around it - the idea is to use the same simple approach to representing price momentum while bringing in more insight to price moves in the short, medium and long terms, ability to represent more than 2 MA's and to enable better identification of tradeable patterns (like Volatility Contraction and others) - while still keeping things simple and visually clean.
K-MACD is an indicator that allows us to view how price moves against 3 moving averages: a fast / slow pair, and a "market" Filter or Baseline (very long) that will be used as a flag for Bear/Bull market mode. Many traders and trading literature use the 200 day (40 week) SMA as that key filter
so in total, there are 4 MA lines in K-MACD (excluding the "orange" signal line):
* Price Proxy: Which is a very fast moving average that will represent the price itself - let's use a WMA(3) or something close to that here - there will be a signal line to enable better visualization of this similar to a classic MACD - that's the orange line
* Fast & Slow MA's : Use whatever represents the "medium term" momentum for your trading - Some traders use 20 and 50, others use 10 and 20 .. if on your price chart, you keep using a pair of MA's for this, use the same settings in K-MACD - these will be represented by the 3-color Momentum Bars that fluctuate above and below the baseline
* Filter/Baseline MA: Should be your long (Bullish/Bearish Mode) MA. so 100 or 200 or any other value you consider your market to be bearish below and bullish above. on K-MACD this is actually the blue zero line - everything else is "relative" to it
Review the sample chart which explains various elements and the "price chart" setup that K-MACD represents. With K-MACD you can clean up your chart from those various Moving Averages - or use a different set than the ones you already have K-MACD represent - or other indicators (like ATR channels..etc)
Other "muscles" in the K-MACD
---------------------------------------------
- Relative vs Classic Calculation Mode
A key issue with the classic MACD is that the displacement between the 2 moving averages is represented as "absolute or direct" values - as the price of the underlying increases with time, you can't really use these values to make useful comparison between the past and now (see below example) - also you can't use them to compare 2 different instruments.
- The "Relative" calculation option in K-MACD addresses that issue by relating all "distances" to the Baseline MA as percentage (above or below) - you can see this clear when you look at the above chart the far left versus the far right and compare K-MACD with the classic MACD - the Classic option is still available
- More MA "type" options for all MA lines: choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, and RSS_WMA (which i use a lot in my trading and is my default for the Price Proxy)
- More Alerts: a total or 9 alerts (in 3 groups) are available with K-MACD (Momentum above or below baseline, Price Proxy crossing signal line, and Price Proxy crossing baseline)
- New 52 week High / Low markers: These will show as Green/red circles on the zero line in K-MACD. this will only work for 1D timeframe and above, i'm just using a simple approach and would like to keep it that way.
- i know i added some more features not covered above :) -- if you have questions about any of the settings, feel free to ask below
Closing thoughts
-------------------------
K-MACD is a combination of couple of indicators i published in the past (xMACD and Mo_Bars) - so you can go back and read about them if needed - I then added improvements to accommodate ideas from swing trading literature and common practices that i plan to focus on in future. So K-MACD is really part of my own trading setup.
I assume here that most traders are familiar with what a MACD is - so kept this post short - if you thing we should expand more about the concepts covered here let me know in the comments - i can make some separate posts with examples and more details.
I hope many fellow traders find this work useful - and feel free let me know in comments below if you do.
ATR Oscillator - Index (Average True range Oscillator)The purpose of converting the ATR value indicator to an oscillator;
It is known that the ATR value is not between the two specified values. So it is not compressed between 0 and 100 like RSI and %B etc. Therefore, conditions such as "A condition if ATR value is X, B condition if ATR value is Y" cannot be created. In order to create these conditions, the max and min value range of the ATR value must be determined. This indicator converts the ATR values into a percentage number according to the maximum and minimum ATR values in the period you will choose. Max value is 100, min value is 0. The considered ATR value, on the other hand, corresponds to the % of the difference between the max and min value in the selected period.
In this way, conditions such as "If the ATR Oscillator value is greater than 10 or 20 or 30" can now be created, or the value of another indicator can be calculated based on the ATR Oscillator value. For example; Let's say we want the standard deviation of BBand to change according to the value of the ATR Oscillator. If BBand Standard Deviation is 3 if ATRO value is 100, BBand Standard Deviation is 2 if ATRO value is 0, and BBand Standard Deviation is 2.5 when ATRO value is 50;
We can encode it as BBand_Std_Dev=((ATRO*0.01)+2 )
If the ATRO value is between .... and ...., you can make improvements such as plot color X.
Volume Crop ━ Hidden Volume Divergence [whvntr] Volume Divergence
• Formula originated from: "Hidden Price Divergence" (circles) by TheLark. I did two things to harness its
effectiveness:
• Firstly, I developed a unique way to filter out the divergence signals that were appearing on both sides of the
midline. This filter will be known as the "Midline Tool" . It filters out a lot of the false signals commonly
associated with oscillators.
• Then, I modified the default format from Price to Volume.
• The midline formula "Midline Tool" was developed by me . It adjusts in the thousands since it's volume.
Let me know in the comments if you would rater have a smaller step value than 10,000. How does it work?
Crossover then Crossunder, the arrows only appear during the first sign of hidden volume divergence once
crossing the midline. Normally, these signs appear on both side of the midline both bearish and bullish no
matter if it's on an oversold or overbought side of the spectrum... Also, let
me know in the comments if you would like for me to release an oscillator version of this
indicator for co-witnessing.
Features:
• Volume divergence
• Midline Tool©
• Disclaimer: This indicator does not constitute investment advice. Trade at your own risk with the investments
you can afford to lose because all financial investments have risks and this is not a
guarantee that the volume divergence will be 100% all the time.
