Centered Oscillators
TAS Navigator + TAS Ratio + TAS Yield Zones [TASMarketProfile]This bundle of 3 TAS Market Profile indicators reveal when markets are gaining momentum, exhausted and reaching critical overbought/oversold conditions. The indicators display on a space-saving bottom pane and provide multi-perspective analysis that yield confidence in what direction to trade and when. The TAS Navigator, TAS Ratio, and TAS Yield Zones can be applied to any financial market such as stocks, ETFs, futures, Forex and digital currencies.
∟ ABOUT TAS NAVIGATOR:
TAS Navigator is a versatile indicator that combines several signals to help you manage your trades and avoid unfavorable situations. At a glance, the Navigator can provide the trader with useful information about underlying trading conditions for any time frame chart. The Navigator is comprised of three primary components – the histogram, the moving average and the zero line.
The histogram consists of the vertical bars plotted above and below the horizontal “zero line.” The bars are color-coded to provide the following information:
NEON GREEN / RED – The directional move continues to gain momentum.
DARK GREEN / RED – The buying or selling momentum is falling off.
MAGENTA – Exhaustion warning and the move has reached “peaking” conditions that may be difficult to maintain. Markets are likely to run sideways for a period of time or a direction change may be near.
The moving average (MA) is the blue line that travels horizontally across the Navigator and provides a relative measure of the overall levels of buying or selling. You will notice that the dots capping the histogram bars change from green to red as they move above or below the MA. The color of these dots tells us the following:
GREEN DOTS – The buyers are currently in control.
RED DOTS – The sellers are currently in control.
The zero line is the horizontal line around which the histogram plots. It provides a reference point for the larger momentum shifts. It is color-coded in the following manner:
CYAN – The current market phase is trending / unbalanced.
YELLOW – The current market phase is sideways / balanced.
INTERPRETATION AND RULES:
The TAS Navigator’s inherent ability to visualize the overall pulse of the market can inform your trading decisions in several ways:
>>> If the histogram is neon green or red, the trader should look for trading opportunities in the appropriate direction (green = long; red = short) and hold for increased profits as long as the bars remain neon green or red.
>>> If magenta bars appear, the trader knows to tighten stops and look for profit-taking opportunities because the trend has reached peaking conditions.
>>> When the histogram switches to dark green or red – indicating momentum is slowing – the trader can look to tighten stops and consider technical areas for reentry.
>>> Once the histogram crosses the MA and the capping dot changes to the opposite color of the histogram bar, a trader knows that they can begin looking for countertrend trade opportunities.
>>> Most importantly, until that dot changes color, the trader knows that the odds do not favor looking for trading opportunities against the current trend.
>>> The relative peaks of the histogram bars can also provide valuable information. As consecutive histogram peaks move further away from the zero line, price should extend the trending move. When consecutive histogram peaks become closer to the zero line, the price should create a lower high or higher low soon.
>>> A trend line connecting histogram peaks can be used to identify trading levels based upon momentum reaching the necessary level to touch the projected trend line.
>>> Trading opportunities can also be found when divergence occurs between the histogram and price. For example, consecutive histogram peaks move further away from zero line, but price cannot extend the trend.
∟ ABOUT TAS RATIO:
TAS Ratio is a leading indicator which helps forecast short-term price movements. It is best used for gauging targeted areas for entry and exit points. It was designed to identify when price movement is confirmed by volume and volatility as well as when market moves lack momentum, conviction and follow through. TAS Ratio levels are determined by a defined time within a 24-hour period and applicable for intraday charts only. The analysis can be applied to any liquid financial instrument and provides target trading zones in either direction.
INPUT SETTINGS FOR TAS RATIO:
There are 3 inputs for TAS Ratio and below you’ll find the default settings:
Ratio RangeBars: 10
Ratio AverageBars: 3
Ratio MABars: 3
>>> Ratio RangeBars – Sets the desired lookback period. Default = 10.
>>> Ratio AverageBars – Sets the smoothing factor and should be the same as MABars setting. Default = 3.
>>> Ratio MABars – Sets the smoothing factor and should be the same as AverageBars setting. Default = 3.
CONFIGURATION NOTES:
As a rule, the RangeBars period should be twice (or more) than the AverageBars and MABars setting. Remember that the AverageBars and MABars settings should be equal. For example, 6/3/3 or 8/4/4 would be minimum separation.
Faster time charts may prefer slower indicator settings for smoother readings. For example, on 30-minute charts or lower the settings for RangeBars period and AverageBars and MABars could be 10/5/5 or even 16/8/8 respectively.
TAS RATIO DISPLAY:
TAS Ratio – Displays more volatile orange-colored line
Moving Average – Displays smoothed moving average purple-colored line
Note that the default colors can be adjusted in the Style settings.
INTERPRETATION AND RULES:
TAS Ratio is displayed on the same pane and scale as TAS Navigator in which readings of +40 is considered overbought and -40 is oversold.
TAS Ratio is especially effective when traders are aiming to time entry points into emerging intraday trends which can be observed when the price is making new “higher lows” or alternatively when price is making new “lower highs.”
TAS Ratio is a sensitive indicator by nature and should be viewed as a tool for fine-tuning a more granular entry or exit within the scope of other TAS Indicators.
TAS Ratio is useful in confirming when price may be at an area of divergence to locate and target higher probability entries and exits.
In general, price should move freely in the same direction of the indicator and in a proportionate range of movement.
When price fails to move proportionately, as much as TAS Ratio moves or stalls, this divergence alerts you to focus on immediate areas of support and resistance.
When price stalls and TAS Ratio does not stall, this is an indication to seek confirmation for a valid counter-trend trading opportunity.
Pay attention to TAS Ratio (orange line) crossovers above and below the Moving Average line (purple line), but also observe the trajectory and whether the Ratio line is pulling away and creating greater distance from the Moving Average line. Increasing distance is a sign of strength of move in that direction.
∟ ABOUT TAS YIELD ZONES:
TAS Yield Zones provides a valuable visual warning via a yellow background color when TAS Navigator and/or TAS Ratio indicators are exceeding specific overbought or oversold threshold lines dictated by the user. The indicator is visible in the same bottom pane as these two indicators. The user controls how extreme of the overbought or oversold condition they mandate in order to trigger the “Yield Zone” warning for each indicator based on the inputs for the TAS Yield Zones threshold lines.
INPUT SETTINGS FOR TAS YIELD ZONES:
Within the Input settings, you can activate or deactivate the visibility of TAS Yield Zones for TAS Navigator or TAS Ratio. By default, both will be visible. There are 4 inputs for TAS Yield Zones and below you’ll find the default settings:
Yield Zones Nav Overbought Line: 40 (red line by default)
Yield Zones Nav Oversold Line: -40 (green line by default)
Yield Zones Ratio Overbought Line: 40 (gray line by default)
Yield Zones Ratio Oversold Line: -40 (gray line by default)
The farther away the Inputs are from the 0 line, the stronger the move must be bullish or bearish in order to get to the threshold lines. For instance, Inputs of 50/-50 would require a more substantial move than 30/-30 settings. Additionally, the user can adjust the coloring of the TAS Yield Zones inside the Style settings.
TAS Yield Zones are best used in conjunction with TAS Navigator and TAS Ratio so the user can visually see when the threshold lines are near being approached and exceeded. When all three indicators are visible on the pane, you can see when there is a confluence of overbought or oversold conditions simultaneously on both TAS Navigator and TAS Ratio indicators and when exhaustion warning conditions are present. When these three conditions occur, there is a likelihood that a move in the opposite direction (or at a minimum a sideways condition) may be near.

Tom Joseph MACD 5-35 for Elliot WavesThis oscillator for the Elliott Theory has been invented by Tom Joseph and it's useful to correctly count the impulsive and corrective waves.
Its difference compared to a simple MACD is the peculiarity to use the ratio between the Fast SMA (default period set to 5) and the Slow SMA (default period se to 35).
The used formula is as below:
( (fast_SMA / slow_SMA) -1 ) * 100

Munich's Momentum Wave V2MUNICH'S MOMENTUM WAVE VERSION 2 IS LIVE!!!
There are a few big things to note with this one.
I decided to upload this as an entirely new script due to the number of changes differing from the first version, but as the last one, this will still work on ANY TIMEFRAME, ANY ASSET CLASS, ANY PRICE! .
This momentum wave indicator now will give you data for when trend could turn, and two momentum indicators to help you decide when to take an entry.
First off,
*I have added an alma ma (alma) that will track momentum alongside price action and further lead the indicator consisting of the Munich waves.
* The background feature will track the price using a method derived from the Bollinger bands, after calculations, it will color the background based on the average of the momentum's ema's, the alma ma, and also the alma in comparison to the alma's value pre offset ( the offset is 3, following the basis).
*There are now 5 basis values given from the increase in ema samples.
If anyone has any questions feel free to pm me or comment below. Thank you guys for the support! :)

München's Momentum WaveMUNICH'S MOMENTUM WAVE:
This momentum tracker has features sampled from Madrid's moving average ribbon but has differentiated many values, parameters, and usage of integers. It is derived using momentum and then creates moving averages and mean lengths to help support the strength of a move in price action, and also has the key mean length that helps determine HL/LH or rejections into trend continuation. This indicator works on ALL TIME FRAMES, ALL ASSET CLASSES ON ALL SETTINGS!!
HOW DO I USE IT?
*First off, I have arranged the input settings into groups based on the parts of the indicator it affects.
*You want to use the aqua/white/yellow (Munich's line) as your leading indicator, this is a combined average of the MoM indicator.
* When using Munich's line you want to look at the relation to the mean line (the flat line that adjusts based on price action. You will often see rejections of this line into trend continuation. I personally have caught perfect LH/HL bounce trades off of this indicator.
* Use the Background and other colored moving averages to help pre-determine moves based on the -3 offset value of Munich's line. This was by design not to create 'accurate' results, but to help predict momentum swings based on sharper moves in price action better than if all values lined up to the current bar.
Cheat Code's Notes:
I hope you guys find this indicator to be useful, this is most likely the best indicator that I have written. Simply for the fact it is useful on any chart, any timeframe with any setting. If you guys have any issues with it, shoot me a pm or drop a comment. Thanks!

Ichimoku Cloud with MACD (By Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
The MACD is a trend following momentum indicator and provides identification of short-term trend direction. In this variation it utilises the 12-period as the fast and 26-period as the slow length EMAs, with signal smoothing set at 9.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the MACD indicator to better enter trades.
Long/Short orders are placed when three basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
Short Position:
Tenkan-Sen is below the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is below the close of 26 bars ago
Close is below the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses under the signal line
The script is backtested from 1 June 2022 and provides good returns.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
This script also works well on MATIC (1h timeframe), AVA (45m timeframe), and BTC (30m timeframe).
Trend Friendly RSITrend Friendly RSI
Unlike the standard RSI, "Trend Friendly RSI" adapts to the trend. RSI and other momentum-based oscillators cannot give a buy signal in uptrends and a sell signal in downtrends because they do not take into account the momentum of the trend and behave as if the price is in a constant sideways trend. "Trend Friendly RSI", on the other hand, takes into account the momentum of the trend of your chosen length and subtracts it from the current momentum, thus giving more realistic buy and sell signals.
use it to identify your long-term investments and trading entry points for hodl. It would be wise to use this indicator for assets that you have done fundamental analysis and are sure of the trend direction. it doesn't know what the price will do, it just shows the points that are suitable for you.
remember this indicator will fail in horizontal trends.
MTF MACD BarOVERVIEW
This indicator shows MACD(Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) is up or down, represented by a bar. This indicator is compatible with MTF.
CONCEPTS
What do you want to know about market analysis?
Do you want a hard analysis? You can look for it.
All I want to know is whether the commonly known technical analysis is 'UP' or 'DOWN'.
All I want to know is whether the current market price is going up or down. Not only for the current, but also for the monthly, weekly, and daily status.
I want to make a decision in a moment. Without even thinking about it.
That is why I created a color-coded bar indicator to show the status.
No need to frown anymore.

Normalized MACD with RSI [bkeevil]This indicator normalizes the MACD and RSI indicators to a range between -1.0 and 1.0 so they can be displayed together on the same chart to save screen real-estate.
While the MACD is a good indicator to detect trend changes, in some circumstances (such as a sideways range market) it can give false signals. The MACD is more likely to give a false signal when the RSI indicator is close to the centerline than if the RSI is signaling an overbought or oversold condition. Thus the RSI indicator and MACD indicator are commonly used together.
I have included a few features found in other MACD indicators that I have found helpful:
MACD line changes color if it is rising or falling
Dots at the MACD line to signal crossovers
The MACD signal line is hidden it by default as the information it contains is redundant. Hiding the signal line makes the indicator less busy.
Simple Buy and Sell SignalsThis is a Simple Indicator which shows buy and sell signals based on MACD and SSL channel.
It is not a Holy Grail Indicator. It shows a lot of false signals when the market is Consolidation Zone.
So don't use this indicator to place trades based on signals given by the indicator.
Use this as a confluence along with your technical analysis
On lower timeframes there are a lot of signals so to eliminate false signals , get a signal on higher timeframe and place a trade in the direction of the trend on lower timeframe.
Hope you'll find this helpful. Enjoy👍.
TheATR: Fisher Oscillator.Fisher Oscillator(FO).
The Fisher Oscillator is inspired by John Ehlers "Fisher Transform".
The oscillator highlights when prices have moved to an extreme, based on recent prices.
The FO may help in spotting turning points, in the short-medium trends of an asset, also, it helps in recognizing the asset's trends themselves, giving a picture of mkt conditions affected by less noise.
Fisher Oscillator Components.
Fisher V1 -> Main FO.
Fisher V2 -> Past Candle FO.
0-line threshold -> Directional Component.
How to read the Fisher Oscillator.
The FO is super easy to read by itself.. also, I coded some features which make it even easier to read.
It's suggestions, which we can call "Signals", come from 2 different sources, accessible thanks to the variable "Signals Type".
- 0-Line Crosses:
When the "Fisher V1" upcrosses the oscillator 0-line, the oscillator suggests a Long scenario.
When the "Fisher V1" downcrosses the oscillator 0-line, the oscillator suggests a Short scenario.
- Classic Lines Crosses:
When the "Fisher V1" upcrosses the "Fisher V2", the oscillator suggests a Long scenario.
When the "Fisher V1" downcrosses the "Fisher V2", the oscillator suggests a Short scenario.
Users will be able to recognise these Signals visually, thanks to some color customisation to the "Fisher V1" line, and thanks to the ability of the oscillator of plotting Signals.
TheATR Documentation regarding TheATR: Fisher Oscillator.
Researching and backtesting the FO, I noticed it's skill of being able to dynamically identify trend reversals with a nice degree of reliability.
Also, the FO's able to keep up with trends up to their tops/bottoms, as it's very responsive.
This makes the FO a trend-following oscillator in my personal view, because its nature of being very fast in detecting reversals will lead to many false reversals as well.
On the other face of this coin, if we look at the FO as a source for confirmations for a trend-following strategy, may be very useful.
To conclude, I would use the FO as a confirmation oscillator, in a trend-following strategy that needs to have other components.
Thanks for reading,
TheATR.

Dap's Oscillator- Short Term Momentum and Trend. BINANCE:BTCUSDT BYBIT:BTCUSDT BYBIT:ETHUSDT BINANCE:ETHUSDT
DAP's OSCILLATOR:
WHAT IS IT?
This Oscillator was created to inspire confidence in the short-term trend of traders. This will work very well with a volatility metric (I recommend BBWP by @The_Caretaker)
WHAT IS IT MADE OF?
1. Consists of a series of equations (mainly the difference between simple to exponential moving averages) and Standard deviations of these moving average differences (length equivalent to the length of sampled ma's)
2. These equations are then boiled down through an averaging process array, after averaging the covariants are equated against the variants of the positive side of the array. This is what is presented as the aqua line.
3. The RC average (yellow) is the sma following the DAP'S Oscillator at a specified length
4. The most important part of this indicator is simply the momentum oscillator represented as a green or red line based on the value relative to the Oscillators.
HOW DO I USE THIS?
As I mentioned before mixed with a volatility metric, it should set you up for a good decision based on short-term trends. I would say to be careful for periods of consolidation, with the consolidation the momentum often meets hands with DAP's Oscillator and can cause fake-outs. You want to spot divergences from the price to the momentum difference, as well as room to work down or upward to secure a good entry on a position.

Commodity Channel Relative StrengthNew concept(I think atleast) I've joined the Standard RSI and CCI at the hip with another plotcandle, which gives a picture of a larger candle With more interesting movement imo. Includes Fib Retracement Levels, High/Low and a couple of coppock curves for more confirmation. Broadening candles seem to indicate a weakening of trend strength (from what i've seen atleast) although exceptions do occur. Vice versa for tapering to a lesser degree I imagine. RSI has been shifted down to 0 to align the center point with the CCI , so the usual 30/70 RSI Levels are now -20/20 (although I have 30/-30 instead for the hlines).

Synthetic EMA Momentum w/ DSL [Loxx]Synthetic EMA Momentum w/ DSL is a momentum indicator that is calculated with 5 different EMAs of increasing period to derive a final momentum value. This helps reduce noise and improve signal quality. Discontinued signal lines are uses to calculate signal values.
What are DSL Discontinued Signal Line?
A lot of indicators are using signal lines in order to determine the trend (or some desired state of the indicator) easier. The idea of the signal line is easy : comparing the value to it's smoothed (slightly lagging) state, the idea of current momentum/state is made.
Discontinued signal line is inheriting that simple signal line idea and it is extending it : instead of having one signal line, more lines depending on the current value of the indicator.
"Signal" line is calculated the following way :
When a certain level is crossed into the desired direction, the EMA of that value is calculated for the desired signal line
When that level is crossed into the opposite direction, the previous "signal" line value is simply "inherited" and it becomes a kind of a level
This way it becomes a combination of signal lines and levels that are trying to combine both the good from both methods.
In simple terms, DSL uses the concept of a signal line and betters it by inheriting the previous signal line's value & makes it a level.

CFB-Adaptive Velocity Histogram
Variety-Filtered, Squeeze Moving Averages
William Blau Ergodic Tick Volume Indicator (TVI)
DB MACD TTM SQZ HistogramDB MACD TTM SQZ Histogram
What does the indicator do?
The DB MACD TTM SQZ Histogram combines the MACD with the TTM Squeeze into a single histogram. Traders may use the "Multiplier" settings to weight MACD vs. TTM SQZ. The MACD will default have a multiplier value of 2 vs. 1 for TTM SQZ. The reasoning behind the default 2:1 multiplier is to allow the faster MACD to have a strong hand in the histogram. In addition to the histogram, the indicator will display a red dot when a BB/KC squeeze (TTM SQZ) is present. The TTM SQZ uses a length of 20, BB m-factor of 2, and KC m-factor of 1.5 to match the "Mastering the Trade" squeeze. The histogram is calculated by taking the MACD histogram and the TTM SQZ histogram and first standardizing them into reasonable decimal percentages. Once standardized, each decimal percentage is then multiplied by the individual multiplier. Finally, the two values are summed into the combined histogram value. The end result is a standardized weighted combination of the MACD (faster) with the TTM SQZ (slower) histogram.
How should this indicator be used?
The DB ETHUSD MMA Indicator should be combined with other indicators as a secondary visual indicator or market buy/sell periods. The indicator is not meant to replace the MACD or TTM SQZ. Analyzing the MACD and TTM SQZ wave patterns individually is extremely useful. The indicator allows the trader to quickly obtain a combined analysis of the two indicators with a predetermined preference (multiplier) towards one vs. the other.
In other words, the indicator is very helpful when the MACD and TTM SQZ are conflicting in providing market direction. Those familiar with MACD or TTM SQZ histograms recognize there are four periods in the full cycle; growing below zero line, growing above zero line, falling above zero line, and falling below zero line. Typically a trader would look for buying opportunities when the cycle is showing "growing below zero line." and sell when the price reaches the "falling above zero line." The qualification of the wave pattern of the four periods must be reviewed before trades. If the wave is choppy, then alternative timeframes should be reviewed. Think of wake on a lake or ocean waves. Choppy is unpredictable but smooth waves are more predictable.
The red dot on the zero line would indicate that a squeeze is present in the current timeframe, building pressure. The red dot does not indicate a pressure release of up or down. Instead, it simply means the spring is being compressed. When a squeeze is present, pressure builds and may release in either direction. You can combine this indicator with BB and KC on the plot with BB (20 len, 2 m-factor) and KC (20 len, 1.5 m-factor). You can review the BB/KC outer bands to see possible breakout resistance or support when a squeeze is on. If the price is outside the BB/KC outer banks, move to a higher timeframe.
Does the indicator include any alerts?
Not Yet. Perhaps in the Future (If Desired)
Enjoy!
