CulturaTrading IndicadorThe CULTURATRADING INDICATOR refines trading signals by integrating advanced analysis techniques across RSI, MACD, and ADX indicators. Here's a deep dive into its functionalities:
RSI Analysis:
Buying Signal Identification: The RSI component is calibrated not just to flag potential reversal points but to identify strong momentum. An RSI exceeding 60 is not merely an overbought signal; it indicates a robust buying momentum when it turns blue, aligning with CULTURATRADING STRATEGY's criteria for a potential long position.
Level 55 Significance: This level acts as a transitional threshold. When the RSI retreats below this point, it suggests a weakening momentum, prompting a reassessment of open positions.
Oversold Condition & Action: An RSI dipping below 40 signals an oversold condition, turning red, and aligning with a potential for a next long signal. staying alert when RSI stay over 40 level again and over on RSI Moving Average Following the idea CULTURATRADING STRATEGY.
Moving Average on RSI (MA RSI):
The inclusion of a Moving Average on the RSI serves as a trend filter. When the RSI is above the MA RSI, it underscores the strength of the current trend; conversely, if the RSI falls below the MA RSI, it calls for close all RSI long trade.
Volatility Histogram:
Color Coding & Market Response: The histogram changes colors based on market volatility and trend strength. Blue indicates a bullish trend continuation, where traders might consider entering long or holding positions. Rose suggests a market shift where traders should be vigilant, potentially taking profits from long or opening shorts positions. Grey denotes low volatility, signaling a period of market indecision where entering new trades may carry higher risk. staying out
Stop-Loss Placement: The histogram assists in identifying optimal stop-loss levels, providing visual cues for setting them just beyond the recent volatility extremes to protect against market whipsaws.
ADX Trend Strength Layer:
This layer offers a visual representation of the trend's strength. A rising ADX above the 25 level with a slope on the MACD line indicates a strong trend and defining directionality to trade (long if it close blue or short if its close rose), reinforcing the confidence in following the trend.
Usage & Importance:
While the CULTURATRADING STRATEGY provides a robust framework for trade execution, the CULTURATRADING INDICATOR is crucial for visualizing and confirming the signals it generates. It simplifies the complex interplay of various technical signals into a coherent visual format, aiding traders in making informed decisions.
The combination of RSI, MA RSI, and the volatility histogram offers a tri-layered approach to market analysis, enabling traders to discern between strong trends, pullbacks, and consolidations.
By integrating these elements, the CULTURATRADING INDICATOR serves as an indispensable tool for traders utilizing the CULTURATRADING STRATEGY, providing clarity and enhancing decision-making efficacy.

Centered Oscillators
CULTURATRADING STRATEGYThe "CULTURATRADING STRATEGY" is designed to capitalize on market trends by incorporating a combination of technical indicators that signal potential entry and exit points for trades on various assets. This strategy is not just a mere collection of indicators but a well-thought-out approach that synergizes different market signals to optimize trade decisions.
The script uses the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) to gauge momentum and trend direction, with the slope of the MACD line serving as a trigger for market entries. A positive slope suggests an upward trend and potential long entry, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend and a possible short entry.
In tandem with the MACD, the ADX (Average Directional Index) is utilized to measure the strength of the trend. An ADX value above 25 signifies a strong trend, which, when aligned with MACD signals, can validate the trade entries.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is another critical component, identifying overbought and oversold conditions. This strategy looks for crossovers above and below key levels (60 for overbought, 40 for oversold) to determine high-probability turning points in the market. The inclusion of a 20-period SMA (Simple Moving Average) of the RSI adds a layer to filter the signals further, allowing for the refinement of entry and exit points.
The script employs a dynamic stop-loss system, set at the lowest low of the past 20 bars for long positions and the highest high for shorts, to manage risk effectively. The strategy is configured for a $10,000 account, risking a reasonable portion of capital per trade, with a pyramid effect to allow for diversified entries from various signals. The backtesting results are based on a 5% capital allocation per trade and include a 0.08% commission. To ensure accurate backtesting, the script includes an additional percentage to account for slippage within the commission.
To provide a comprehensive understanding, the script also outputs a "volatility histogram" based on the ADX, offering insights into market volatility and helping to time the trades better.
This strategy has been backtested across different timeframes and assets, showing resilience in various market conditions. It is essential to check the 'recalculate after order filled' option due to the dynamic nature of stop-loss orders.
This script is paired with the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" for enhanced signal clarity, providing a holistic view of the strategy's performance. Please note that this script is for educational purposes and should not be taken as financial advice.
The "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" is an essential tool that works in conjunction with the "CULTURATRADING STRATEGY" to provide traders with a clear visualization of the market's conditions. It enhances the strategy by offering visual cues that help interpret complex market data more intuitively.
The indicator displays key RSI levels, such as 60 for overbought conditions and 40 for oversold conditions, with a mid-level at 55 to indicate when a trend may be weakening. The colors on the RSI line change to reflect these conditions, offering a quick reference for traders: a blue color signifies an RSI above 60, indicating overbought conditions; a red color shows an RSI below 40, pointing to oversold conditions; and white represents values in between, suggesting a neutral state.
Moreover, the volatility histogram, which is part of the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR," provides a visual representation of market volatility. The histogram changes colors based on the ADX value and the slope of the MACD line. For instance, a green histogram suggests a positive MACD slope during a strong trend, indicating potential bullish momentum. Conversely, a red histogram implies a negative MACD slope during strong trends, hinting at bearish momentum. A grey color might be used to represent periods when the trend is weak or the market is less volatile.
Together, these visual elements of the "CULTURATRADING INDICATOR" complement the strategy's signals, providing traders with an at-a-glance summary of the current market scenario, which can be particularly useful when managing multiple trades or assessing opportunities quickly.
Please remember, this script and its associated indicator are designed to serve as educational tools to assist in understanding market dynamics and are not intended as financial advice. Always conduct your own research and consider consulting a financial advisor for personalized guidance.
Adaptive Fisherized Z-scoreHello Fellas,
It's time for a new adaptive fisherized indicator of me, where I apply adaptive length and more on a classic indicator.
Today, I chose the Z-score, also called standard score, as indicator of interest.
Special Features
Advanced Smoothing: JMA, T3, Hann Window and Super Smoother
Adaptive Length Algorithms: In-Phase Quadrature, Homodyne Discriminator, Median and Hilbert Transform
Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT)
Signals: Enter Long, Enter Short, Exit Long and Exit Short
Bar Coloring: Presents the trade state as bar colors
Band Levels: Changes the band levels
Decision Making
When you create such a mod you need to think about which concepts are the best to conclude. I decided to take Inverse Fisher Transform instead of normalization to make a version which fits to a fixed scale to avoid the usual distortion created by normalization.
Moreover, I chose JMA, T3, Hann Window and Super Smoother, because JMA and T3 are the bleeding-edge MA's at the moment with the best balance of lag and responsiveness. Additionally, I chose Hann Window and Super Smoother because of their extraordinary smoothing capabilities and because Ehlers favours them.
Furthermore, I decided to choose the half length of the dominant cycle instead of the full dominant cycle to make the indicator more responsive which is very important for a signal emitter like Z-score. Signal emitters always need to be faster or have the same speed as the filters they are combined with.
Usage
The Z-score is a low timeframe scalper which works best during choppy/ranging phases. The direction you should trade is determined by the last trend change. E.g. when the last trend change was from bearish market to bullish market and you are now in a choppy/ranging phase confirmed by e.g. Chop Zone or KAMA slope you want to do long trades.
Interpretation
The Z-score indicator is a momentum indicator which shows the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (price/source) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Easily explained, it is almost the same as Bollinger Bands with another visual representation form.
Signals
B -> Buy -> Z-score crosses above lower band
S -> Short -> Z-score crosses below upper band
BE -> Buy Exit -> Z-score crosses above 0
SE -> Sell Exit -> Z-score crosses below 0
If you were reading till here, thank you already. Now, follows a bunch of knowledge for people who don't know the concepts I talk about.
T3
The T3 moving average, short for "Tim Tillson's Triple Exponential Moving Average," is a technical indicator used in financial markets and technical analysis to smooth out price data over a specific period. It was developed by Tim Tillson, a software project manager at Hewlett-Packard, with expertise in Mathematics and Computer Science.
The T3 moving average is an enhancement of the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and aims to overcome some of its limitations. The primary goal of the T3 moving average is to provide a smoother representation of price trends while minimizing lag compared to other moving averages like Simple Moving Average (SMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), or EMA.
To compute the T3 moving average, it involves a triple smoothing process using exponential moving averages. Here's how it works:
Calculate the first exponential moving average (EMA1) of the price data over a specific period 'n.'
Calculate the second exponential moving average (EMA2) of EMA1 using the same period 'n.'
Calculate the third exponential moving average (EMA3) of EMA2 using the same period 'n.'
The formula for the T3 moving average is as follows:
T3 = 3 * (EMA1) - 3 * (EMA2) + (EMA3)
By applying this triple smoothing process, the T3 moving average is intended to offer reduced noise and improved responsiveness to price trends. It achieves this by incorporating multiple time frames of the exponential moving averages, resulting in a more accurate representation of the underlying price action.
JMA
The Jurik Moving Average (JMA) is a technical indicator used in trading to predict price direction. Developed by Mark Jurik, it’s a type of weighted moving average that gives more weight to recent market data rather than past historical data.
JMA is known for its superior noise elimination. It’s a causal, nonlinear, and adaptive filter, meaning it responds to changes in price action without introducing unnecessary lag. This makes JMA a world-class moving average that tracks and smooths price charts or any market-related time series with surprising agility.
In comparison to other moving averages, such as the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), JMA is known to track fast price movement more accurately. This allows traders to apply their strategies to a more accurate picture of price action.
Inverse Fisher Transform
The Inverse Fisher Transform is a transform used in DSP to alter the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of a signal or in our case of indicators.
The result of using the Inverse Fisher Transform is that the output has a very high probability of being either +1 or –1. This bipolar probability distribution makes the Inverse Fisher Transform ideal for generating an indicator that provides clear buy and sell signals.
Hann Window
The Hann function (aka Hann Window) is named after the Austrian meteorologist Julius von Hann. It is a window function used to perform Hann smoothing.
Super Smoother
The Super Smoother uses a special mathematical process for the smoothing of data points.
The Super Smoother is a technical analysis indicator designed to be smoother and with less lag than a traditional moving average.
Adaptive Length
Length based on the dominant cycle length measured by a "dominant cycle measurement" algorithm.
Happy Trading!
Best regards,
simwai

GKD-C PA Adaptive Fisher Transform [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C PA Adaptive Fisher Transform is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C PA Adaptive Fisher Transform
Phase Accumulation Adaptive Fisher Transform is an adaptive Fisher Transform using a modified version of Ehlers Phase Accumulation Cycle Period. This version of Phase Accumulation Cylce Period accepts as inputs: 1) total number of cycles you wish to inject into the calculation, this works as a multiplier so the higher this number, the longer the period output; 2) filter is to change the alpha value of the final smother before returning the period output.
What is the Phase Accumulation Cycle?
The phase accumulation method of computing the dominant cycle is perhaps the easiest to comprehend. In this technique, we measure the phase at each sample by taking the arctangent of the ratio of the quadrature component to the in-phase component. A delta phase is generated by taking the difference of the phase between successive samples. At each sample we can then look backwards, adding up the delta phases.When the sum of the delta phases reaches 360 degrees, we must have passed through one full cycle, on average.The process is repeated for each new sample.
The phase accumulation method of cycle measurement always uses one full cycle’s worth of historical data.This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.The advantage is the lag in obtaining the answer scales directly with the cycle period.That is, the measurement of a short cycle period has less lag than the measurement of a longer cycle period. However, the number of samples used in making the measurement means the averaging period is variable with cycle period. longer averaging reduces the noise level compared to the signal.Therefore, shorter cycle periods necessarily have a higher out- put signal-to-noise ratio.
What is Fisher Transform?
The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator created by John F. Ehlers that converts prices into a Gaussian normal distribution.
The indicator highlights when prices have moved to an extreme, based on recent prices. This may help in spotting turning points in the price of an asset. It also helps show the trend and isolate the price waves within a trend.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

GKD-C APA Adaptive Fisher Transform [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C APA Adaptive Fisher Transform is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C APA Adaptive Fisher Transform
APA Adaptive Fisher Transform is an adaptive cycle Fisher Transform using Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm to calculate the dominant cycle period.
What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average ( KAMA ) and Tushar Chande’s variable index dynamic average ( VIDYA ) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index ( RSI ), commodity channel index ( CCI ), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."

Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

GKD-C Kuskus Starlight [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Kuskus Starlight is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Kuskus Starlight
This code is designed to calculate a technical indicator that analyzes market trends by assessing the position of the price within a specified period's range and then smoothing this data to identify potential signals. It starts by determining the highest and lowest prices within a given period, from which it calculates the maximum range of price movement. The mid-point price is then calculated as the average of the high and low prices.
The script proceeds to calculate the price position within this range, transforming it into a value between -1 and 1 to standardize the data regardless of the actual price levels. This price position is then smoothed using a specified price smoothing factor, creating a 'mapping buffer' that helps to reduce volatility and highlight more significant trends.
Further smoothing is applied through the calculation of a 'normalized position,' which limits extreme values to ensure they fall within a practical range for analysis. The script then transforms this smoothed data using a logarithmic function to emphasize the difference in price positions, producing a 'transformed index.'
Finally, this transformed index undergoes additional smoothing with an index smoothing factor.

What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.

GKD-C Dorsey Inertia [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Dorsey Inertia is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Dorsey Inertia
This script calculates an indicator that measures the relative volatility and directionality of market prices, focusing on both high and low price movements within a specific period. It begins by calculating the standard deviation of the high prices over a given period to determine the market's volatility. Based on whether the current high price is greater or lesser than the previous one, it assigns this volatility value to either an upward or downward movement indicator. This process is mirrored for the low prices.
The script then averages these directional movements over an average period to smooth out short-term fluctuations and provide a clearer signal of the market's directionality. This results in two indicators, one for the high prices and one for the low prices, which are then normalized to a scale of 0 to 100 to represent the percentage of movement in either direction.
Finally, it combines these two indicators to form an overall Relative Volatility Index (RVI) signal, which is further smoothed over a specified smoothing period to produce the final output, the Inertia Buffer. This buffer aims to provide a more stable and interpretable measure of market volatility and trend strength, potentially aiding in trading decisions.

In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.

Relative Strength Scoring SystemRelative Strength Scoring System :
Important prerequisite :
This indicator can be loaded on any forex chart, i.e. a currency pair, but must not be loaded on any other asset due to certain market closures.
The chart timeframe must be less than or equal to the trading timeframe, which is the indicator's first parameter. A timeframe equal to that of the "Trading Timeframe" parameter is preferable.
Introduction :
This indicator measures the relative strength of a currency against all other currencies using spread formulas. It gives an indication of which currencies are bullish, neutral or bearish. The ultimate aim of this indicator is to find out which pair will generate a higher probability of gain than the others by pairing the most bullish pair with the most bearish pair.
Spread formulas :
To find the relative strength of a currency compared with others, we use the following spreads formulas :
USD = (FX:USDJPY/100+SAXO:USDEUR+FX:USDCHF+SAXO:USDGBP+FX:USDCAD+SAXO:USDAUD+FX_IDC:USDNZD)/7
JPY = (SAXO:JPYUSD/100+FX_IDC:JPYAUD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCAD/100+FX_IDC:JPYNZD/100+FX_IDC:JPYCHF/100+SAXO:JPYEUR/100+FX_IDC:JPYGBP/100)/7
CHF = (FX:CHFJPY/100+SAXO:CHFUSD+SAXO:CHFEUR+FX_IDC:CHFGBP+FX_IDC:CHFCAD+SAXO:CHFAUD+FX_IDC:CHFNZD)/7
EUR = (FX:EURJPY/100+FX:EURUSD+FX:EURCHF+FX:EURGBP+FX:EURCAD+FX:EURAUD+FX:EURNZD)/7
GBP = (FX:GBPJPY/100+FX:GBPUSD+FX:GBPCHF+SAXO:GBPEUR+FX:GBPCAD+FX:GBPAUD+FX:GBPNZD)/7
CAD = (FX:CADJPY/100+SAXO:CADUSD+FX:CADCHF+FX_IDC:CADGBP+SAXO:CADEUR+FX_IDC:CADAUD+FX_IDC:CADNZD)/7
AUD = (FX:AUDJPY/100+FX:AUDUSD+FX:AUDCHF+SAXO:AUDGBP+FX:AUDCAD+SAXO:AUDEUR+FX:AUDNZD)/7
NZD = (FX:NZDJPY/100+FX:NZDUSD+FX:NZDCHF+SAXO:NZDGBP+FX:NZDCAD+SAXO:NZDAUD+SAXO:NZDEUR)/7
CRYPTO = (BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:ETHUSD+BITSTAMP:LTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BCHUSD)/4
Timeframes :
As mentioned in the prerequisites, the chart timeframe must not be greater than the trading timeframe. The latter corresponds to the timeframe chosen by the trader to enter a position, and is the indicator's first parameter. Once this has been chosen, the algorithm selects the timeframes of the "Trend" and "Velocity" charts. Here's how it allocates them :
Trading TF => ("Velocity TF", "Trend TF")
"5min" => ("15min ", "60min")
"15min" => ("60min ", "4h")
"30min" => ("2h ", "8h")
"60min" => ("4h ", "12h")
"4h" => ("12h", "1D")
"6h" => ("1D", "3D")
"8h" => ("1D", "4D")
"12h" => ("2D", "1W")
"1D" => ("3D", "1W")
Trend Scoring System :
When the timeframe of the trend graph has been allocated, the algorithm will establish this graph's score using three criteria :
Trend chart pivot points: if the last two pivots, high and low, are increasing, the score is 1; if they are decreasing, the score is -1; else the score is 0.
SMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the SMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
MACD: if the MACD is positive, the score is 1, if it is negative, the score is -1; else it's 0.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the trend score.
Velocity Scoring System :
In the same way, we analyze the score of the "velocity" graph with its corresponding timeframe using three criteria :
The EMA: if its slope is increasing with a candle strictly above the EMA value, the score is 1; if its slope is decreasing with a candle strictly below it, the score is -1; otherwise, it is 0.
The RSI: if the RSI's EMA has an increasing slope with an RSI strictly greater than the value of this EMA, the score is 1; and if the RSI's EMA has a decreasing slope with an RSI strictly less than this EMA, the score is -1; otherwise it is 0.
SAR parabolic: if the SAR is below the price, the score is 1; if it is above the price, the score is -1.
We then sum the scores of these three criteria to find the velocity score.
Relative Strength Scoring System :
Once the trend score and velocity score have been calculated, we determine the relative strength score of each currency using the following algorithm :
If trend score >=2 and velocity score >=2, the currency is bullish.
If trend score <=2 and velocity score <=2, currency is bearish
If (trendScore>=2 or velocityScore>=2) and (trendScore=1 or velocityScore=1) the currency is not yet bullish
If (trendScore<=2 or velocityScore<=2) and (trendScore=-1 or velocityScore=-1) the currency is not yet bearish.
Otherwise the currency is neutral

Conclusion :
This indicator has been designed to determine the relative strength of the major currencies against each other. The aim is to know which pair to trade at the right time in order to maximize the probability of a successful trade. For example, if the USD is bullish and the NZD bearish, we'll short the NZDUSD pair.
Enjoy this indicator and don't forget to take the trade ;)
F.B_Consolidation Range Identifier
The "F.B_Consolidation Range Identifier" (F.B_CRI) is an indicator aimed at identifying consolidation areas in the price chart. Here is an explanation of the logic and usage of this indicator:
Calculation of Standard Deviation
This indicator analyzes the market's volatility by considering the standard deviation of price movements over a defined period. A higher standard deviation indicates larger price movement, while a lower standard deviation suggests potential consolidation, where price movements are limited.
Derivation of Standard Deviation
To track changes in volatility, the derivative of the standard deviation is calculated. Positive derivative values indicate increasing volatility, while negative values suggest a decrease in volatility. This allows for the identification of potential consolidation phases where volatility decreases, and the market may stabilize.
Identification of Consolidation Phase
The indicator signals potential consolidation phases when the standard deviation is low and/or the derivative of the standard deviation is negative. To represent consolidation phases on the chart, the standard deviation line, background, and candles are colored red. However, it's important to note that the display is customizable and can be configured according to individual needs.
🚨 Important 🚨
The indicator only indicates whether consolidation phases exist. If the standard deviation line, background, or candles are gray, it indicates that a trend exists in general, but not whether it is bullish or bearish. It is advisable to use other analytical tools to confirm the direction of the trend.

Candlestick Bias OscillatorCandlestick Bias Oscillator (CBO)
The Candlestick Bias Oscillator (CBO) with Signal Line is a pioneering indicator developed for the TradingView platform, designed to offer traders a nuanced analysis of market sentiment through the unique lens of candlestick patterns. This indicator stands out by merging traditional concepts of price action analysis with innovative mathematical computations, providing a fresh perspective on trend detection and potential market reversals.
Originality and Utility
At the core of the CBO's originality is its method of calculating the bias of candlesticks. Unlike conventional oscillators that may rely solely on closing prices or high-low ranges, the CBO incorporates both the body and wick of candlesticks into its analysis. This dual consideration allows for a more rounded understanding of market sentiment, capturing both the directional momentum and the strength of price rejections within a single oscillator.
Mathematical Foundations
1. Body Bias: The CBO calculates the body bias by assessing the relative position of the close to the open within the day's range, scaled to a -100 to 100 range. This calculation reflects the bullish or bearish sentiment of the market, based on the day's closing momentum.
Body Bias = (Close−Open)/(High−Low) x 100
Wick Bias: Similarly, the wick bias calculation takes into account the lengths of the upper and lower wicks, indicating rejection levels beyond the body's close. The balance between these wicks is scaled similarly to the body bias, offering insight into the market's indecision or rejection of certain price levels.
Wick Bias=(Lower Wick−Upper Wick)/(Total Wick Length) × 100
3. Overall Bias and Oscillator: By averaging the body and wick biases, the CBO yields an overall bias score, which is then smoothed over a user-defined period to create the oscillator. This oscillator provides a clear visual representation of the market's underlying sentiment, smoothed to filter out the noise.
4. Signal Line: A secondary smoothing of the oscillator creates the signal line, offering a trigger for potential trading signals when the oscillator crosses this line, indicative of a change in market momentum.
How to Use the CBO:
The CBO is versatile, suitable for various trading strategies, including scalping, swing trading, and long-term trend following. Traders can use the oscillator and signal line crossovers as indications for entry or exit points. The relative position of the oscillator to the zero line further provides insight into the prevailing market bias, enabling traders to align their strategies with the broader market sentiment.
Why It Adds Value:
The CBO's innovative approach to analyzing candlestick patterns fills a gap in the existing array of TradingView indicators. By providing a detailed analysis of both candle bodies and wicks, the CBO offers a more comprehensive view of market sentiment than traditional oscillators. This can be particularly useful for traders looking to gauge the strength of price movements and potential reversal points with greater precision.
Conclusion:
The Candle Bias Oscillator with Signal Line is not just another addition to the plethora of indicators on TradingView. It represents a significant advancement in the analysis of market sentiment, combining traditional concepts with a novel mathematical approach. By offering a deeper insight into the dynamics of candlestick patterns, the CBO equips traders with a powerful tool to navigate the complexities of the market with increased confidence.
Explore the unique insights provided by the CBO and integrate it into your trading strategy for a more informed and nuanced market analysis.

Arbitrage Spread v1 : 1 pair + 1 chart [Arby.Trade]This indicator allows you to track in real time the change in the spread (the difference in the exchange rate) between two assets.
How does the indicator work?
In the indicator settings menu, the user selects two trading pairs, for example BTCUSDT on the Binance exchange and BTCUSDT on the Bybit exchange, after which the script will receive prices from both exchanges and compare them with each other, calculating the percentage deviation between prices (spread). The script can only work with those assets and exchanges that are on board TradingView.
According to the calculated spread value, the spread line is displayed on the screen. This line moves between values above zero and below. When the spread line is below zero, it means that the price of the asset on the first exchange is less than on the second. That is, by buying an asset on the first exchange and selling it on the second one, you can earn money (of course, it is important to take into account the commissions of the exchanges for these transactions). When the spread line is above zero, the opposite is true. When the spread is zero, the prices on both exchanges are the same and there is no arbitrage situation.
Indicator settings.
For a better visual representation of the current spread value, the indicator has the ability to set two threshold spread levels. The first threshold level is the level below which the spread is not interesting to the trader and he will not consider arbitrage deals. The second threshold level is the level of a particularly high spread. When the spread value exceeds the second threshold level, the spread values will be signed above the spread line, and the extreme values for the user-defined period of bars back will be additionally highlighted in a brighter color. Both threshold levels are displayed on the chart and the user can change their values in the indicator settings menu.
Alerts.
Additionally, you can set the threshold value of the spread, at which the script will send notifications from TradingView. We called it the Spread Signal Threshold. This threshold level has nothing to do with the visual thresholds described above. You can set a signal level exceeding the second visual threshold or make it lower, but it is important to understand that TradingView alerts will only be triggered if the Spread Signal Threshold is exceeded.
To set up alerts, open the "Alerts" tab in the TradingView menu on the right. Click the "Create Alert" button. Then, in the window that opens, select this indicator in the "Condition" line. After that, you can set a name for this alert and complete the notification setup by clicking the "Create" button.
We, the authors of this script, have been engaged in cryptocurrency arbitrage for a long time and, first of all, created it for ourselves and our daily arbitrage trading, but this does not prevent you from using it at your discretion for any types of assets and in any markets.

Данный индикатор позволяет отслеживать в реальном времени изменение спреда (разницы в курсе) между двумя активами.
Как устроен индикатор?
В меню настроек индикатора пользователь выбирает две торговые пары, например BTCUSDT на бирже Binance и BTCUSDT на бирже Bybit, после чего скрипт получит цены с обеих бирж и сравнит их между собой, рассчитав процентное отклонение между ценами (спред). Скрипт может работать только с теми активами и биржами, которые есть на борту TradingView, и это не мало.
По рассчитанному значению спреда на экран выводится линия спреда. Данная линия двигается между значениями то выше нуля, то ниже. Когда линия спреда ниже нуля это значит что цена на актив на первой бирже меньше, чем на второй. То есть, купив актив на первой бирже и продав его на второй можно заработать (конечно при этом важно учитывать комиссии бирж на совершение данных сделок). Когда линия спреда выше нуля - наоборот. Когда спред равен нулю - цены на обеих биржах одинаковы и арбитражная ситуация отсутствует.
Настройки индикатора.
Для лучшего визуального представления о текущем значении спреда индикатор имеет возможность задать два пороговых уровня спреда. Первый пороговый уровень – это уровень, ниже которого спред не интересен трейдеру и он не будет рассматривать арбитражные сделки. Второй пороговый уровень – это уровень особенно повышенного спреда. Когда значение спреда превышает второй пороговый уровень над линией спреда будут подписаны значения спреда, а экстремальные значения за заданный пользователем период баров назад будут дополнительно выделены более ярким цветом. Оба пороговых уровня отображаются на графике и пользователь может менять их значения в меню настроек индикатора.
Уведомления.
Дополнительно можно настроить пороговое значение спреда, при достижении которого скрипт будет отправлять уведомления от TradingView. Мы назвали это Spread Signal Threshold. Этот пороговый уровень никак не связан с визуальными пороговыми уровнями, описанными выше. Вы можете задать сигнальный уровень превышающий второй визуальный пороговый уровень или сделать его ниже, но важно понимать, что оповещения TradingView будут срабатывать только от превышения именно Spread Signal Threshold.
Для настройки оповещений откройте вкладку «Оповещения» в меню TradingView справа. Нажмите кнопку «Создать оповещение». Затем в открывшемся окне в строке «Условие» выберете данный индикатор. После чего вы можете задать название данному оповещению и завершить настройку оповещения, нажав кнопку «Создать».
Мы, авторы данного скрипта, давно занимаемся арбитражем криптовалюты и, в первую очередь, создавали его для себя и своей каждодневной арбитражной торговли, но это не мешает вам использовать его по своему усмотрению для любых видов активов и на любых рынках.
Economic Growth Index (XLY/XLP)Keeping an eye on the macroeconomic environment is an essential part of a successful investing and trading strategy. Piecing together and analysing its complex patterns are important to detect probable changing trends. This may seem complicated, or even better left to experts and gurus, but it’s made a whole lot easier by this indicator, the Economic Growth Index (EGI).
Common sense shows that in an expanding economy, consumers have access to cash and credit in the form of disposable income, and spend it on all sorts of goods, but mainly crap they don’t need (consumer discretionary items). Companies making these goods do well in this phase of the economy, and can charge well for their products.
Conversely, in a contracting economy, disposable income and credit dry up, so demand for consumer discretionary products slows, because people have no choice but to spend what they have on essential goods. Now, companies making staple goods do well, and keep their pricing power.
These dynamics are represented in EGI, which plots the Rate of Change of the Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY) in relation to the Consumer Staples ETF (XLP). Put simply, green is an expanding phase of the economy, and red shrinking. The signal line is the market, a smoothed RSI of the S&P500. Run this on a Daily timeframe or higher. Check it occasionally to see where the smart money is heading.
Unbounded RSIIntroducing the concept of "Unbounded RSI".
Instead of indexing the average gain and average loss, over the time period of interest, we leave the average gain and loss unbounded. Instead we "bound" them by difference of each and smoothen out this difference in an envelope using exponential average. See code.
What this does to traditional RSI concept?
No concept of "overbought", "oversold"
No concept of "60-40", "70-30" bands and arguments over it
No concept of "Range Shifts"
...
How to use it?
I am generally a positional long trader. So I present my version. Of course, I expect each individual who decide to use this concept, to come up with their ideas, based on their style and temperament.
The points below, I apply on a Weekly Timeframe Chart.
Once, we see a long consolidation and price breakout, we should be able to see "Green" histogram bars. These appear, once we have the stock at least 20% up from the 52WL and the "Unbounded RSI" has turned positive. This can be a good time to "enter" into the scrip.
The height of the bars are significant, since they essentially show, that the "gap" between the avg. gain and avg. loss is widening, indicating momentum. Swing trading can thrive in these environments I guess.
Falling heights indicate that gaps to close, though, the "gap can still be green". This means, momentum is now falling. Swing traders and "quick buck makers", would ideally book profits here. If the color of the bars still remain "Green" it indicates that momentum has reduced but still the gains are "more" than loss on the timeperiod selected.
Once the histogram turns red, it means that the gain is now lower than loss. An increasing height underground, means this loss is widening. Generally, this will corelate with price action (not necessarily volume).
At this time, exits should be looked for, may be also check other factors/indicators to decide, but surely the momentum and the gain% over the timeperiod selected has now gone.
Note for Pine Coders:
The source code can easily be modified to develop this concept further.
For example:
Use different smoothing algorithms
Remove 52WL condition and introduce new additional conditions
Instead of price change of the stock for gain/loss calculations, we use the concept of Relative Strength (RS, not RSI) and measuere the gain/loss based on a benchmark index . I intend to work on this concept, soon.
You shall see a variable "unboundedRSI" which is actually a ratio of the Avg. Gain / Avg. Loss. This ratio is not plotted. It is kept there, for future use.

[blackcat] L3 Emotion Line**I. Overview**
The Emotion Line is an innovative technical indicator designed to capture market sentiment by analyzing price dynamics. This indicator calculates the average of opening, high, low, and closing prices over the past three days and combines the concepts of Dynamic Moving Average (DMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to generate a value reflecting market sentiment. The Emotion Line is implemented in Pine Script on the TradingView platform, providing users with an intuitive tool for market sentiment analysis.
**II. Calculation Method**
1. **Ray**: Calculate the average of the past three days' prices, i.e., (2 * C + H + L) / 4, where C represents the closing price, H the highest price, and L the lowest price. Then, take the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this average over 3 days with a smoothing factor of 2.
2. **CL (Close Line)**: Assign the value of Ray to CL as the basis for subsequent calculations.
3. **DIR1 (Directional Change)**: Calculate the absolute difference between CL and the CL of the previous two days, indicating the magnitude of price movement.
4. **VIR1 (Volume in Range)**: Calculate the sum of the absolute differences between CL and the previous day's CL over the past two days, measuring the accumulation of price fluctuations.
5. **ER1 (Efficiency Ratio)**: The ratio of DIR1 to VIR1, measuring the efficiency of price movement.
6. **CS1 (Cumulative Strength)**: Apply a weighted process to ER1 to obtain CS1.
7. **CQ1 (Cumulative Quotient)**: The square of CS1, further strengthening the cumulative effect of price movement.
8. **AMA5 (Adjusted Moving Average)**: Calculate the Dynamic Moving Average (DMA) of CL with the dynamic factor CQ1, then apply a 2-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the result.
9. **Cost**: Calculate the 7-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of AMA5.
10. **CLX (Composite Line)**: Calculate the average of AMA5 and Cost to obtain CLX.
11. **Emotion Line**: Calculate the proportion of CLX increasing continuously for N days, with N defaulting to 7 days. Multiply the result by 100 to get the Emotion Line value.
12. **MA_emotionLine (Moving Average Emotion Line)**: Calculate the M-day moving average of the Emotion Line, with M defaulting to 6 days.
**III. Market Logic**
By analyzing the cumulative effect and efficiency of price movement, the Emotion Line attempts to reveal the strength of market sentiment. When the Emotion Line rises, it indicates a positive market sentiment, and investors may have an optimistic attitude towards the stock; a falling Emotion Line may signal a weakening market sentiment. The absolute value and trend changes of the Emotion Line can provide investors with references for buying, holding, or selling.
**IV. Usage**
1. **Attention Signal**: When the Emotion Line exceeds 20%, the market sentiment may begin to be positive, and investors should pay attention to related stocks.
2. **Entry Signal**: When the Emotion Line exceeds 40%, the market sentiment is relatively strong, and investors may consider entering the market.
3. **Reduce Position Signal**: When the Emotion Line exceeds 80%, the market may be overly optimistic, and investors should consider reducing their positions to avoid risk.
4. **Exit Signal**: When the Emotion Line breaks below its M-day moving average, it may signal a shift in market sentiment, and investors should consider exiting the market.
**V. Notes**
- The Emotion Line is an auxiliary tool, and investors should make comprehensive judgments based on other technical analysis and fundamental analysis.
- Market sentiment is influenced by various factors, and the Emotion Line may have lag, so investors should use it cautiously.
- Investors should adjust the parameters of the Emotion Line according to their risk tolerance and investment strategy.
**VI. Conclusion**
The Emotion Line is an intuitive indicator that reflects market sentiment through quantitative methods, providing a new perspective for investors to observe market dynamics. However, no technical indicator is foolproof, and investors should remain cautious when using it, combining their personal experience and market conditions to make decisions. Through the TradingView platform, investors can easily add the Emotion Line indicator to their charts to assist in their trading decision-making process.

[blackcat] L2 Double EMA Convergence and Diverence (DEMACD)Introduction:
The " L2 Double EMA Convergence and Divergence (DEMACD)" is a custom technical indicator designed for use in TradingView. It's based on the concept of Double Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA) and incorporates elements from the well-known Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). This guide aims to provide an understanding of its definition, history, calculation, operations, usage, input settings, and style.
1. Definition:
The DEMACD indicator is designed to detect changes in price trends using a modified approach of the traditional MACD, with a focus on reducing lag. It does this by comparing two DEMAs of different lengths, providing traders with signals of converging and diverging trends.
2. History:
The concept of DEMA was introduced by Patrick Mulloy in 1994 to reduce the lag inherent in traditional EMAs. MACD, developed by Gerald Appel in the 1970s, is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price. The DEMACD combines the quick response feature of DEMA with the reliable trend analysis of MACD.
3. Calculation Method:
DEMACD is calculated through several steps:
Smoothed price S is first computed as (3 * close + high + low + open) / 6.
DAYLINE is calculated as 2 * EMA(S, len_ema) - EMA(EMA(S, 5), len_ema).
The mainTrendLine is the EMA of the EMA of the closing price over len_dema periods.
DIF is the difference between the DAYLINE and mainTrendLine.
DEA is the EMA of DIF over len_smooth periods.
Finally, DEMACD is calculated as (DIF - DEA) * 2.
4. Basic Operations and Comparison with MACD:
DEMACD's key feature is its reduced lag compared to the traditional MACD. While MACD uses EMA, DEMACD uses DEMA, providing a faster and more accurate response to price changes. This makes it particularly useful in volatile market conditions where traditional MACD may lag.
5. Usage:
Similar to MACD, DEMACD is used for trend confirmation, crossover signals, and divergences:
Trend confirmation is observed when the DIF line is above or below the DEA line.
Crossover signals are generated when the DIF line crosses the DEA line.
Divergences between the DEMACD and price action can signal potential trend reversals.
6. Input Settings:
Users can configure the following settings in TradingView:
len_ema: Length of the EMA for DAYLINE.
len_dema: Length of the EMA for the main trend line.
len_smooth: Smoothing length for DEA.
Adjusting these settings allows traders to tailor the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
7. Style:
The DEMACD in TradingView is represented with different colors and line thicknesses:
DIF is plotted in red with a line thickness of 2.
DEA is plotted in gray, also with a line thickness of 2.
DEMACD histogram changes color based on its value relative to its previous value and zero.
Conclusion:
The " L2 Double EMA Convergence and Divergence (DEMACD)" is a versatile indicator that combines the rapid response of DEMA with the trend-following abilities of MACD. Its reduced lag makes it a valuable tool for traders looking for timely market signals. Proper understanding and application of its settings can enhance its effectiveness in various trading strategies.
