MACD-VWAP-BB Oscillator with DivergenceHow to Use the Indicator for Trading
Here’s how to interpret and use the indicator’s signals as a beginner:
Look for Buy Signals:
Green Triangle Up (“BUY”):
Appears when MACD, VWAP, and Bollinger Bands all signal a strong bullish trend.
The ribbon turns green, and the background fill is green.
Action: Consider buying the asset, as this is a strong signal the price may rise.
Example: If you see a green triangle on a 1-hour chart for BTC/USD, it suggests a potential upward move.
Green Circle (“Div Buy”):
Indicates a bullish divergence, where the price is dropping, but the indicator suggests the downtrend may weaken or reverse.
This is a weaker signal than the triangle but can be an early warning of a trend change.
Action: Watch closely or consider a smaller buy position, especially if followed by a triangle signal.
Look for Sell Signals:
Red Triangle Down (“SELL”):
Appears when all three indicators signal a strong bearish trend.
The ribbon turns red, and the background fill is red.
Action: Consider selling or shorting the asset, as the price may fall.
Example: A red triangle on a stock chart suggests it’s time to exit a long position or go short.
Red Circle (“Div Sell”):
Indicates a bearish divergence, where the price is rising, but the indicator suggests the uptrend may weaken or reverse.
Action: Be cautious with long positions or consider preparing to sell, especially if a triangle signal follows.
Check the Ribbon and Background:
Green Ribbon and Fill: Confirms a bullish trend. Feel more confident in buy signals.
Red Ribbon and Fill: Confirms a bearish trend. Feel more confident in sell signals.
The ribbon’s spread (how far apart the lines are) shows trend strength: wider = stronger trend, tighter = weaker trend.
Use Divergence Signals for Early Warnings:
Divergence signals (circles) often appear before triangle signals, hinting at potential reversals.
Example: A green circle (“Div Buy”) on a downtrending chart suggests the price might stop falling soon. Wait for a green triangle to confirm before acting.
Choose a Timeframe:
Short-term traders (day trading): Use shorter timeframes like 5-minute, 15-minute, or 1-hour charts.
Swing traders: Use 4-hour or daily charts for signals that last days or weeks.
Long-term investors: Use daily or weekly charts for bigger trends.
Example: On a 4-hour chart, a green triangle might signal a trend lasting hours to days.
Combine with Price Action:
Don’t rely on the indicator alone. Look at the candlesticks:
Are there support/resistance levels nearby?
Is the price near a key level (e.g., a moving average or trendline)?
Use the indicator to confirm what you see in the price chart.
Risk Management:
Set Stop-Losses: Place a stop-loss below recent lows for buys or above recent highs for sells to limit losses.
Position Sizing: Only risk a small portion of your account (e.g., 1-2%) per trade.
Wait for Confirmation: Triangle signals are stronger than divergence signals. Consider waiting for a triangle before entering a trade, especially as a beginner.
Example Trading Scenario
Let’s say you’re trading EUR/USD on a 1-hour chart:
You see a green circle (“Div Buy”) at the bottom of the indicator panel, and the price is near a support level (a price where it stopped falling before).
This suggests a potential reversal, but it’s not confirmed yet.
Action: Watch closely but don’t enter a trade yet.
A few candles later, a green triangle (“BUY”) appears, the ribbon turns green, and the background fill is green.
This confirms a strong bullish signal (MACD, VWAP, and Bollinger Bands all agree).
Action: Enter a buy trade, set a stop-loss below the recent low, and aim for a target near a resistance level or a 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Later, you see a red circle (“Div Sell”) while the price is still rising.
This warns that the uptrend might weaken.
Action: Tighten your stop-loss or prepare to exit if a red triangle appears.
A red triangle (“SELL”) appears, with the ribbon and fill turning red.
Action: Exit the buy trade or consider a short position.
Tips for Beginners
Start with a Demo Account: Practice using the indicator on a TradingView paper trading account or a broker’s demo account to avoid risking real money.
Test on Different Assets: Try the indicator on stocks, forex, or crypto to see where it performs best.
Avoid Overtrading: Wait for clear triangle signals for stronger trades. Divergence signals (circles) are less reliable, so use them as warnings.
Learn Basic Chart Patterns: Combine the indicator with simple patterns like support/resistance or candlestick patterns (e.g., pin bars) for better results.
Adjust Settings Carefully: The default settings (e.g., MACD 12,26,9; ribbon 8,13,21,34) are balanced, but you can tweak them in the indicator settings to match your trading style.
Common Questions
What timeframe should I use?
It depends on your trading style. Day traders might use 5-minute or 1-hour charts; swing traders might use 4-hour or daily charts. Test different timeframes to find what suits you.
Are divergence signals reliable?
Divergence signals (green/red circles) are early warnings and less reliable than triangle signals. Use them to prepare for a trade but wait for triangles for confirmation.
Can I use this on any asset?
Yes! It works on stocks, forex, crypto, or commodities. Adjust settings like pivotLookback or smoothWavy for volatile assets like crypto.
What if I see conflicting signals?
If a green circle appears but no green triangle, the trend isn’t confirmed yet. Wait for alignment of all indicators (triangle signal) for stronger trades.
How to Customize (Optional)
If you want to tweak the indicator:
Open the indicator settings (double-click its name on the chart).
Adjust Pivot Lookback for Divergence (default 5) to make divergence signals more frequent (smaller number) or less frequent (larger number).
Change Signal Line Smoothing Period (default 9) for a smoother or wavier signal line.
Modify EMA Ribbon Periods (default 8,13,21,34) for a tighter or wider ribbon.

Volume Footprint Overlay | CVD Divergence | VWAP Sync | Extreme Volume Alerts
🧠 Introduction
With discipline and humility, I present the BK AK-SILENCER — a tactical overlay tool built for real-time bar decoding, smart divergence detection, and stealth-level volume aggression tracking.
This indicator is one half of a two-system stealth engine — the other being BK AK-SILENCER (P8N) — together forming a fully integrated divergence and structure-mapping weapon.
🔫 The Meaning Behind “SILENCER”
Just like a true silencer functions — quiet, deadly, and undetected — this tool operates beneath the surface, filtering out noise and revealing the real power behind the candles.
Institutions move in silence.
They don’t chase price. They build, shift, load, and unload with surgical stealth.
This tool is designed to catch the footprints of giants — to detect where volume spikes silently, where divergence whispers truth, and where smart money leaves behind subtle clues.
The initials “AK” honor my mentor — the man who taught me to trade with purpose, clarity, and discipline.
This tool is part of his legacy.
⚙️ What It Does
✅ Volume Bar Coloring
Reveals bullish, bearish, and neutral aggression with real-time coloring — based on spike logic, closing strength, and volatility-adjusted thresholds.
✅ CVD Divergence Detection
Automatically detects price vs volume divergence using pivot logic — mapped clearly with visual markers.
✅ Extreme Volume ‘$’ Alerts
When volume goes silent, this system waits. But when volume spikes abnormally — it marks it.
✅ VWAP Overlay
Anchored VWAP to sync trades with liquidity zones and institutional behavior.
🎯 How to Use It
Bullish divergence + accumulation color = sniper long entry.
Bearish divergence + weakness color = fade or reversal opportunity.
Extreme volume spike + structure = momentum entry or exit zone.

CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot🎯 CDP - Counter-Directional-Pivot
📊 Overview
The Counter-Directional-Pivot (CDP) indicator calculates five critical price levels based on the previous day's OHLC data, specifically designed for multi-timeframe analysis. Unlike standard pivot points, CDP levels are calculated using a unique formula that identifies potential reversal zones where price action often changes direction.
⚡ What Makes This Script Original
This implementation solves several technical challenges that existing pivot indicators face:
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Consistency: Values remain identical across all timeframes (1m, 5m, 1h, daily) - a common problem with many pivot implementations
🔒 Intraday Stability: Uses advanced value-locking technology to prevent the "stepping" effect that occurs when pivot lines shift during the trading session
💪 Robust Data Handling: Optimized for both liquid and illiquid stocks with enhanced data synchronization
🧮 CDP Calculation Formula
The indicator calculates five key levels using the previous day's High (H), Low (L), and Close (C):
CDP = (H + L + C) ÷ 3 (Central Decision Point)
AH = 2×CDP + H – 2×L (Anchor High - Strong Resistance)
NH = 2×CDP – L (Near High - Moderate Resistance)
AL = 2×CDP – 2×H + L (Anchor Low - Strong Support)
NL = 2×CDP – H (Near Low - Moderate Support)
✨ Key Features
🎨 Visual Elements
📈 Five Distinct Price Levels: Each with customizable colors and line styles
🏷️ Smart Label System: Shows exact price values for each level
📋 Optional Value Table: Displays all levels in an organized table format
🎯 Clean Chart Display: Minimal visual clutter while maximizing information
⚙️ Technical Advantages
🔐 Session-Locked Values: Prices are locked at market open, preventing intraday shifts
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Sync: Perfect consistency between daily and intraday charts
✅ Data Validation: Built-in checks ensure reliable calculations
🚀 Performance Optimized: Efficient code structure for fast loading
💼 Trading Applications
🔄 Reversal Zones: AH and AL often act as strong turning points
💥 Breakout Confirmation: Price movement beyond these levels signals trend continuation
🛡️ Risk Management: Use levels for stop-loss and take-profit placement
🏗️ Market Structure: Understand daily ranges and potential price targets
📚 How to Use
🚀 Basic Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (works on any timeframe)
Customize colors for easy identification of support/resistance zones
Enable the value table for quick reference of exact price levels
📈 Trading Strategy Examples
🟢 Long Bias: Look for bounces at NL or AL levels
🔴 Short Bias: Watch for rejections at NH or AH levels
💥 Breakout Trading: Enter positions when price decisively breaks through anchor levels
↔️ Range Trading: Use CDP as the central reference point for range-bound markets
🎯 Advanced Strategy Combinations
RSI Integration for Enhanced Signals: 📊
📉 Oversold Bounces: Combine RSI below 30 with price touching AL/NL levels for high-probability long entries
📈 Overbought Rejections: Look for RSI above 70 with price rejecting AH/NH levels for short opportunities
🔍 Divergence Confirmation: When RSI shows bullish divergence at support levels (AL/NL) or bearish divergence at resistance levels (AH/NH), it often signals stronger reversal potential
⚡ Momentum Confluence: RSI crossing 50 while price breaks through CDP can confirm trend direction changes
⚙️ Configuration Options
🎨 Line Customization: Adjust width, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and colors
👁️ Display Preferences: Toggle individual levels, labels, and value table
📍 Table Position: Place the value table anywhere on your chart
🔔 Alert System: Get notifications when price crosses key levels
🔧 Technical Implementation Details
🎯 Data Reliability
The script uses request.security() with lookahead settings to ensure historical accuracy while maintaining real-time functionality. The value-locking mechanism prevents the common issue where pivot levels shift during the trading day.
🔄 Multi-Timeframe Logic
⏰ Intraday Charts: Display previous day's calculated levels as stable horizontal lines
📅 Daily Charts: Show current day's levels based on yesterday's OHLC
🔍 Consistency Check: All timeframes reference the same source data
🤔 Why CDP vs Standard Pivots?
Counter-Directional Pivots often provide more accurate reversal points than traditional pivot calculations because they incorporate the relationship between high/low ranges and closing prices more effectively. The formula creates levels that better reflect market psychology and institutional trading behaviors.
💡 Best Practices
💧 Use on liquid markets for most reliable results
📊 RSI Combination: Add RSI indicator for overbought/oversold confirmation and divergence analysis
📊 Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
🔍 Consider multiple timeframe analysis (daily levels on hourly charts)
📝 Test thoroughly in paper trading before live implementation
💪 Example Market Applications
NASDAQ:AAPL AAPL - Tech stock breakouts through AH levels
$NYSE:SPY SPY - Index trading with CDP range analysis
NASDAQ:TSLA TSLA - Volatile stock reversals at AL/NL levels
⚠️ This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes. Always combine with proper risk management and additional technical analysis tools.
TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
CCI Divergence Detector
A technical analysis tool that identifies divergences between price action and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) oscillator. Unlike standard divergence indicators, this system employs advanced gradient visualization, multi-layer wave effects, and comprehensive customization options to provide traders with crystal-clear divergence signals and market momentum insights.
Core Detection Mechanism
CCI-Based Analysis: The indicator utilizes the Commodity Channel Index as its primary oscillator, calculated from user-configurable source data (default: HLC3) with adjustable length parameters. The CCI provides reliable momentum readings that effectively highlight price-momentum divergences.
Dynamic Pivot Detection: The system employs adaptive pivot detection with three sensitivity levels (High/Normal/Low) to identify significant highs and lows in both price and CCI values. This dynamic approach ensures optimal divergence detection across different market conditions and timeframes.
Dual Divergence Analysis:
Regular Bullish Divergences: Detected when price makes lower lows while CCI makes higher lows, indicating potential upward reversal
Regular Bearish Divergences: Identified when price makes higher highs while CCI makes lower highs, signaling potential downward reversal
Strength Classification System: Each detected divergence is automatically classified into three strength categories (Weak/Moderate/Strong) based on:
-Price differential magnitude
-CCI differential magnitude
-Time duration between pivot points
-User-configurable strength multiplier
Advanced Visual System
Multi-Layer Wave Effects: The indicator features a revolutionary wave visualization system that creates depth through multiple gradient layers around the CCI line. The wave width dynamically adjusts based on ATR volatility, providing intuitive visual feedback about market conditions.
Professional Color Gradient System: Nine independent color inputs control every visual aspect:
Bullish Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Control oversold areas, wave effects, and strong bullish signals
Bearish Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Manage overbought zones, wave fills, and strong bearish signals
Neutral Colors (Light/Medium/Dark): Handle table elements, zero line, and transitional states
Intelligent Color Mapping: Colors automatically adapt based on CCI values:
Overbought territory (>100): Bearish color gradients with increasing intensity
Neutral positive (0 to 100): Blend from neutral to bearish tones
Oversold territory (<-100): Bullish color gradients with increasing intensity
Neutral negative (-100 to 0): Transition from neutral to bullish tones

Volume Flow OscillatorVolume Flow Oscillator
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that measures buying and selling pressure by combining price direction with volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this oscillator reveals the force behind price movements, helping traders identify strong trends, potential reversals, and divergences between price and volume.
Reading the Indicator
The oscillator displays seven colored bands that fluctuate around a zero line:
Three bands above zero (yellow) indicate increasing levels of buying pressure
Three bands below zero (red) indicate increasing levels of selling pressure
The central band represents the baseline volume flow
Color intensity changes based on whether values are positive or negative
Trading Signals
The Volume Flow Oscillator provides several valuable trading signals:
Zero-line crossovers: When multiple bands cross from negative to positive, potential bullish shift; opposite for bearish
Divergences: When price makes new highs/lows but oscillator bands fail to confirm, signals potential reversal
Volume climax: Extreme readings where outer bands stretch far from zero often precede reversals
Trend confirmation: Strong expansion of bands in direction of price movement confirms genuine momentum
Support/resistance: During trends, bands may remain largely on one side of zero, showing continued directional pressure
Customization
Adjust these key parameters to optimize the oscillator for your trading style:
Lookback Length: Controls overall sensitivity (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Multipliers: Adjust sensitivity spread between bands for different market conditions
ALMA Settings: Fine-tune how the indicator weights recent versus historical data
VWMA Toggle: Enable for additional smoothing in volatile markets
Best Practices
For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with price action and other confirmation indicators. The multi-band approach helps distinguish between minor fluctuations and significant volume events that might signal important market turns.
Adaptive Momentum Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Adaptive Momentum Oscillator tool allows traders to measure the current relative momentum over a given period using the maximum delta in price.
It features a histogram with gradient color, divergences, and an adaptive moving average that allows traders to clearly see the smoothed trend direction.
🔶 USAGE
This unbounded oscillator has positive momentum when values are above 0 and negative momentum when values are below 0. The adaptive moving average is used as a minimum lag smoothing tool over the momentum histogram.
🔹 Signal Line
There are two main uses for the signal line drawn on the chart above.
Momentum crosses above or below the signal line: acceleration in momentum.
Signal line crosses the 0 value: positive or negative momentum.
🔹 Data Length
On the chart above, we can compare different length sizes and how the tool values change, allowing traders to get a shorter or longer-term view of current market strength.
🔹 Smoothing Length
In the previous figure, we can compare how different Smoothing Length values affect the oscillator output.
🔹 Divergences
The divergence detector is disabled by default. Traders can enable it and adjust the divergence length from the settings panel.
As we can see in the chart above, by changing the length of the divergences, traders can fine-tune their detection, a small number will detect smaller divergences, and use a larger number for larger divergences.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select data source, close price by default
Data Length: Select the length for data gathering
Smoothing Length: Select the length for data smoothing
Divergences: Enable/Disable divergences detection and length
Quarterly Theory ICT 05 [TradingFinder] Doubling Theory Signals🔵 Introduction
Doubling Theory is an advanced approach to price action and market structure analysis that uniquely combines time-based analysis with key Smart Money concepts such as SMT (Smart Money Technique), SSMT (Sequential SMT), Liquidity Sweep, and the Quarterly Theory ICT.
By leveraging fractal time structures and precisely identifying liquidity zones, this method aims to reveal institutional activity specifically smart money entry and exit points hidden within price movements.
At its core, the market is divided into two structural phases: Doubling 1 and Doubling 2. Each phase contains four quarters (Q1 through Q4), which follow the logic of the Quarterly Theory: Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal.
These segments are anchored by the True Open, allowing for precise alignment with cyclical market behavior and providing a deeper structural interpretation of price action.
During Doubling 1, a Sequential SMT (SSMT) Divergence typically forms between two correlated assets. This time-structured divergence occurs between two swing points positioned in separate quarters (e.g., Q1 and Q2), where one asset breaks a significant low or high, while the second asset fails to confirm it. This lack of confirmation—especially when aligned with the Manipulation and Accumulation phases—often signals early smart money involvement.
Following this, the highest and lowest price points from Doubling 1 are designated as liquidity zones. As the market transitions into Doubling 2, it commonly returns to these zones in a calculated move known as a Liquidity Sweep—a sharp, engineered spike intended to trigger stop orders and pending positions. This sweep, often orchestrated by institutional players, facilitates entry into large positions with minimal slippage.

🔵 How to Use
Applying Doubling Theory requires a simultaneous understanding of temporal structure and inter-asset behavioral divergence. The method unfolds over two main phases—Doubling 1 and Doubling 2—each divided into four quarters (Q1 to Q4).
The first phase focuses on identifying a Sequential SMT (SSMT) divergence, which forms when two correlated assets (e.g., EURUSD and GBPUSD, or NQ and ES) react differently to key price levels across distinct quarters. For example, one asset may break a previous low while the other maintains structure. This misalignment—especially in Q2, the Manipulation phase—often indicates early smart money accumulation or distribution.
Once this divergence is observed, the extreme highs and lows of Doubling 1 are marked as liquidity zones. In Doubling 2, the market gravitates back toward these zones, executing a Liquidity Sweep.
This move is deliberate—designed to activate clustered stop-loss and pending orders and to exploit pockets of resting liquidity. These sweeps are typically driven by institutional forces looking to absorb liquidity and position themselves ahead of the next major price move.
The key to execution lies in the fact that, during the sweep in Doubling 2, a classic SMT divergence should also appear between the two assets. This indicates a weakening of the previous trend and adds an extra layer of confirmation.
🟣 Bullish Doubling Theory
In the bullish scenario, Doubling 1 begins with a bullish SSMT divergence, where one asset forms a lower low while the other maintains its structure. This divergence signals weakening bearish momentum and possible smart money accumulation. In Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous low and sweeps the liquidity zone—breaking below it on one asset, while the second fails to confirm, forming a bullish SMT divergence.
f this move is followed by a bullish PSP and a clear market structure break (MSB), a long entry is triggered. The stop-loss is placed just below the swept liquidity zone, while the target is set in the premium zone, anticipating a move driven by institutional buyers.
🟣 Bearish Doubling Theory
The bearish scenario follows the same structure in reverse. In Doubling 1, a bearish SSMT divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher high while the other fails to do so. This suggests distribution and weakening buying pressure. Then, in Doubling 2, the market returns to the previous high and executes a liquidity sweep, targeting trapped buyers.
A bearish SMT divergence appears, confirming the move, followed by a bearish PSP on the lower timeframe. A short position is initiated after a confirmed MSB, with the stop-loss placed

🔵 Conclusion
Doubling Theory is a powerful and structured framework within the realm of Smart Money Concepts and ICT methodology, enabling traders to detect high-probability reversal points with precision. By integrating SSMT, SMT, Liquidity Sweeps, and the Quarterly Theory into a unified system, this approach shifts the focus from reactive trading to anticipatory analysis—anchored in time, structure, and liquidity.
What makes Doubling Theory stand out is its logical synergy of time cycles, behavioral divergence, liquidity targeting, and institutional confirmation. In both bullish and bearish scenarios, it provides clearly defined entry and exit strategies, allowing traders to engage the market with confidence, controlled risk, and deeper insight into the mechanics of price manipulation and smart money footprints.
Volumetric Tensegrity🧮 Volumetric Tensegrity unifies two of the Leading Indicator suite's critical engines — ZVOL ( volume anomaly detection ) and OBVX ( directional conviction ). Originally designed as a structural economizer for traders navigating strict indicator limits (e.g. < 10 slots per chart), it was forced to evolve beyond that constraint simply to fulfill it, albeit with a difference. The fatal flaw of traditional fusion, where two metrics are blended mathematically, is that they lose scale integrity (i.e. meaning). VTense encodes optical tensegrity to scale the amplitude of the ZVOL histogram and the slope of the OBVX spread independently, so that expansion and direction may coexist without either dominating the frame.
🧬 Tensegrity , by definition, is an intelligent design principle where elements in compression are suspended within a network of continuous tension, forming a stable, self-supporting structure . Originally conceived in esoteric biomorphology (c.f. Da Vinci, Snelson, Casteneda), tensegrity balances force through opposition, not rigidity. Applied to financial markets, Volumetric Tensegrity captures this same principle: price compresses, volume expands, conviction builds or fades — yet structure holds through the interplay. The result is not a prediction engine, but a pressure field — one that visualizes where structure might bend, break, or rebound based on how volume breathes.
🗜️ Rather than layering multiple indicators and consuming precious chart space, VTense frees up room for complementary overlays like momentum mapping, liquidity tiers, or volatility phase detection — making it ideal for modular traders operating in tight technical real estate.
🧠 Core Logic - VTense separates and preserves two essential structural forces:
• ZVOL Histogram : A Z-score-based expansion map that measures current volume deviation from its historical average. It reveals buildup zones, dormant stretches, and breakout pressure — regardless of price behavior.
• OBVX Spread : A directional conviction curve that tracks the difference between On-Balance Volume and its volume-weighted fast trend. It shows whether the crowd is leaning in (accumulation/distribution) or backing off.
🔊 ZVOL controls the amplitude of the histogram, while OBVX controls the curvature and slope of the spread. Without sacrificing breathing behavior or analytical depth, VTense provides a compact yet dynamic lens to track both expansion pressure and directional bias within a single footprint.
🌊 Volumetric Tensegrity forecasts breakout readiness, trend fatigue, and compression zones by measuring the volatility within volume . Unlike traditional tools that track volatility of price, this indicator reveals when effort becomes unstable — signaling inflection points before price reacts. Designed to decode rhythm shifts at the volume level, it operates as a pre-ignition scanner that thrives on low-timeframe charts (15m and under) while scaling effectively to 1H for validation.
🪖 From Generals to Scouts
👀 When used jointly, ZVOL + OBVX act as the general : deep-field analysts confirming stress, commitment, or exhaustion. VTense , by contrast, functions as a scout — capturing subtle buildup and alignment before structure fully reveals itself. The indicator aims to be a literal vanguard, establishing a position that can be confirmed or flexibly abandoned when the higher authority arrives to evaluate.
🥂 Use the ZVOL + OBVX pair when :
• You need independent axis control and manual dissection
• You’re building long-form confluence setups
• You have more indicator slots than you need
🔎 Use VTense when :
• You need compact clarity across multiple instruments
• You’re prioritizing confluence _detection_ over granular separation
• You’re building efficient multi-layered systems under slot constraints
🏗️ Structural Behavior and Interpretation
🫁 Z VOL Respiration Histogram : Structural Effort vs Baseline
🔵 Compression Coil – volume volatility is low and stable; the market is coiling
🟢 Steady Rhythm – volume is healthy but unremarkable; balanced participation
🟡 Passive/Absorbed Effort – expansion failing to manifest; watch for reversal
🟠 Clean Expansion – actionable volatility rise backed by structure
🔴 Volatile Blowout – chaos, climax; likely end-phase or fakeout
⚖️ ZVOL Respiration measures how hard the crowd is pressing — not just that volume is rising, but how statistically abnormal the surge is. Because it is rescaled proportionally to OBVX, the amplitude of the histogram reflects structural urgency without overwhelming the visual field.
🖐️ OBVX Spread : Real-Time Directional Conviction Behind Price Moves
🔑 The curvature of the spread reveals not just directional bias but crowd temp o: sharp slopes = urgent transitions; gradual slopes = building structural shifts. Curvature is key: sharp OBVX slope = urgency; gentle arcs = controlled drift or indecision.
• Green Rising : Accumulation — upward pressure from real buyers
• Red Falling : Distribution — sell pressure, downward slope
• Flat Curves : Transitional → uncertainty, microstructure digestion
🎭 Synchronized vs Divergent Behavior
⏱️ Synchronized (high-confluence) : often precedes structural breakouts, with internal conviction clearly visible before price resolves.
• ZVOL expands (yellow/orange/red) and OBVX climbs steeply green = strong bullish pressure
• ZVOL expands while OBVX steepens red = growing sell-side intent
🪤 Divergent (conflict tension) : flags potential traps, fakeouts, and liquidity sweeps.
• ZVOL expands sharply, but OBVX flattens or opposes → reactive expansion without crowd commitment
⛔️ Latent Drift + Structural Holding Patterns : tensegrity in action — the market holds tension without directional release.
• ZVOL compresses (blue) + OBVX meanders near zero → structure is resting, building up energy
• After prolonged drift, expect violent asymmetry when balance finally breaks
📚 Phase Interpretation: Dynamic Structural Read
• 1️⃣ Quiet Coil : Histogram flat, OBVX flat → no urgency
• 2️⃣ Initial Pulse : Yellow bars, OBVX slope builds → actionable tension
• 3️⃣ Structural Breath : Synchronized expansion and slope → directional commitment
• 4️⃣ Disagreement : Spike in ZVOL, flattening OBVX → exhaustion risk or false signal
💡 Suggested Use
• Run on 15m charts for breakout anticipation and 1H for validation
• Pair with ZVOL + OBVX to confirm crowd conviction behind the tension phase
• Use as a rhythm filter for the suite's trend indicators (e.g., RDI , SUPeR TReND 2.718 , et. al.)
• Ideal during low-volume regimes to detect pressure buildup before triggers
🧏🏻 Volumetric Tensegrity doesn’t signal. It breathes , and listens to pressure shifts before they speak in price. As a scout, it lets you see structural posture before signals align — helping you front-run resolution with clarity, not prediction.
RSI Divergence Strategy - AliferCryptoStrategy Overview
The RSI Divergence Strategy is designed to identify potential reversals by detecting regular bullish and bearish divergences between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It automatically enters positions when a divergence is confirmed and manages risk with configurable stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Key Features
Automatic Divergence Detection: Scans for RSI pivot lows/highs vs. price pivots using user-defined lookback windows and bar ranges.
Dual SL/TP Methods:
- Swing-based: Stops placed a configurable percentage beyond the most recent swing high/low.
- ATR-based: Stops placed at a multiple of Average True Range, with a separate risk/reward multiplier.
Long and Short Entries: Buys on bullish divergences; sells short on bearish divergences.
Fully Customizable: Input groups for RSI, divergence, swing, ATR, and general SL/TP settings.
Visual Plotting: Marks divergences on chart and plots stop-loss (red) and take-profit (green) lines for active trades.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish RSI divergences.
Detailed Logic
RSI Calculation: Computes RSI of chosen source over a specified period.
Pivot Detection:
- Identifies RSI pivot lows/highs by scanning a lookback window to the left and right.
- Uses ta.barssince to ensure pivots are separated by a minimum/maximum number of bars.
Divergence Confirmation:
- Bullish: Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low.
- Bearish: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high.
Entry:
- Opens a Long position when bullish divergence is true.
- Opens a Short position when bearish divergence is true.
Stop-Loss & Take-Profit:
- Swing Method: Computes the recent swing high/low then adjusts by a percentage margin.
- ATR Method: Uses the current ATR × multiplier applied to the entry price.
- Take-Profit: Calculated as entry price ± (risk × R/R ratio).
Exit Orders: Uses strategy.exit to place bracket orders (stop + limit) for both long and short positions.
Inputs and Configuration
RSI Settings: Length & price source for the RSI.
Divergence Settings: Pivot lookback parameters and valid bar ranges.
SL/TP Settings: Choice between Swing or ATR method.
Swing Settings: Swing lookback length, margin (%), and risk/reward ratio.
ATR Settings: ATR length, stop multiplier, and risk/reward ratio.
Usage Notes
Adjust the Pivot Lookback and Range values to suit the volatility and timeframe of your market.

ZVOL — Z-Score Volume Heatmapⓩ ZVOL transforms raw volume into a statistically calibrated heatmap using Z-score thresholds. Unlike classic volume indicators that rely on fixed MA comparisons, ZVOL calculates how many standard deviations each volume bar deviates from its mean. This makes the reading adaptive across timeframes and assets, in order to distinguish meaningful crowd behavior from random volatility.
📊 The core display is a five-zone histogram, each encoded by color and statistical depth. Optional background shading mirrors these zones across the entire pane, revealing subtle compression or structural rhythm shifts across time. By grounding the volume reading in volatility-adjusted context, ZVOL inhibits impulsive trading tactics by compelling the structure, not the sentiment, to dictate the signal.
🥵 Heatmap Coloration:
🌚 Suppressed volume — congestion, coiling phases
🩱 Stable flow — early trend or resting volume
🏀 High activity — emerging pressure
💔 Extreme — possible climax or institutional print
🎗️ A dynamic Fibonacci-based 21:34-period EMA ribbon overlays the histogram. The fill area inverts color on crossover, providing a real-time read on tempo, expansion, or divergence between price structure and crowd effort.
💡 LTF Usage Suggestions:
• Confirm breakout legs when orange or red zones align with range exits
• Fade overextended moves when red bars appear into resistance
• Watch for rising EMAs and orange volume to front-run impulsive moves
• Combine with volatility suppression (e.g. ATR) to catch compression → expansion transitions
🥂 Ideal Pairings:
• OBVX Conviction Bias — to confirm directional intent behind volume shifts
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 — for directional filters
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon — to detect compression phases
👥 The OBVX Conviction Bias adds a second dimension to ZVOL by revealing whether crowd effort is aligning with price direction or diverging beneath the surface. While ZVOL identifies statistical anomalies in raw volume, OBVX tracks directional commitment using cumulative volume and moving average cross logic. Use them together to spot fake-outs, anticipate structure-confirmed breakouts, or time pullbacks with volume-based conviction.
🔬 ZVOL isn’t just a volume filter — it’s a structural lens. It reveals when crowd effort is meaningful, when it's fading, and when something is about to shift. Designed for structure-aware traders who care about context, not noise.
SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money

By removing the limitations of consecutive pivot comparisons and allowing for broader structural detection, it captures more accurate and timely signals that often precede major market moves.
When paired with frameworks like Sequential SMT and the Quarterly Theory, the indicator not only highlights where divergence occurs, but also when in the market cycle it's most likely to matter. Its flexible settings, customizable visuals, and integrated alert system make it suitable for intraday scalpers, swing traders, and even long-term macro analysts.
Whether you're using it as a standalone decision-making tool or combining it with other ICT concepts, SMT Plus gives you an edge in recognizing manipulation, timing reversals, and staying in sync with the real market narrative—not just the chart.
Gioteen-NormThe "Gioteen-Norm" indicator is a versatile and powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify key market conditions such as divergences, overbought/oversold levels, and trend strength. By normalizing price data relative to a moving average and standard deviation, this indicator provides a unique perspective on price behavior, making it easier to spot potential reversals or continuations in the market.
The indicator calculates a normalized value based on the difference between the selected price and its moving average, scaled by the standard deviation over a user-defined period. Additionally, an optional moving average of this normalized value (Green line) can be plotted to smooth the output and enhance signal clarity. This dual-line approach makes it an excellent tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
***Key Features
Divergence Detection: The Gioteen-Norm excels at identifying divergences between price action and the normalized indicator value. For example, if the price makes a higher high while Red line forms a lower high, it may signal a bearish divergence, hinting at a potential reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Extreme values of Red line (e.g., significantly above or below zero) can indicate overbought or oversold conditions, helping traders anticipate pullbacks or bounces.
Trend Strength Insight: The normalized output reflects how far the price deviates from its average, providing a measure of momentum and trend strength.
**Customizable Parameters
Traders can adjust the period, moving average type, applied price, and shift to suit their trading style and timeframe.
**How It Works
Label1 (Red Line): Represents the normalized price deviation from a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, or LWMA) divided by the standard deviation over the specified period. This line highlights the relative position of the price compared to its historical range.
Label2 (Green Line, Optional): A moving average of Label1, which smooths the normalized data to reduce noise and provide clearer signals. This can be toggled on or off via the "Draw MA" option.
**Inputs
Period: Length of the lookback period for normalization (default: 100).
MA Method: Type of moving average for normalization (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: EMA).
Applied Price: Price type used for calculation (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, HLCC4; default: Close).
Shift: Shifts the indicator forward or backward (default: 0).
Draw MA: Toggle the display of the Label2 moving average (default: true).
MA Period: Length of the moving average for Label2 (default: 50).
MA Method (Label2): Type of moving average for Label2 (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: SMA).
**How to Use
Divergence Trading: Look for discrepancies between price action and Label1. A bullish divergence (higher low in Label1 vs. lower low in price) may suggest a buying opportunity, while a bearish divergence could indicate a selling opportunity.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor extreme Label1 values. For instance, values significantly above +2 or below -2 could indicate overextension, though traders should define thresholds based on the asset and timeframe.
Trend Confirmation: Use Label2 to confirm trend direction. A rising Label2 suggests increasing bullish momentum, while a declining Label2 may indicate bearish pressure.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair Gioteen-Norm with support/resistance levels, RSI, or volume indicators for a more robust trading strategy.
**Notes
The indicator is non-overlay, meaning it plots below the price chart in a separate panel.
Avoid using a Period value of 1, as it may lead to unstable results due to insufficient data for standard deviation calculation.
This tool is best used as part of a broader trading system rather than in isolation.
**Why Use Gioteen-Norm?
The Gioteen-Norm indicator offers a fresh take on price normalization, blending statistical analysis with moving average techniques. Its flexibility and clarity make it suitable for traders of all levels—whether you're scalping on short timeframes or analyzing long-term trends. By publishing this for free, I hope to contribute to the TradingView community and help traders uncover hidden opportunities in the markets.

Buy at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Below the recent swing low or 2 × ATR(14) below entry.
Short:
Sell/short at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Above the recent swing high or 2 × ATR(14) above entry.
5. Manage the Trade
Take Profit:
Aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk $0.05, target $0.10-$0.15).
Or exit when an opposite suppression signal appears (e.g., orange cross for longs).
Trailing Stop:
Move stop to breakeven after a 1:1 RR move.
Trail using the 5-day SMA or 2 × ATR(14).
Early Exit:
Exit if a suppression signal appears against your position (e.g., suppression_bull while short).
6. Filter Out Noise
Avoid trades if a suppression signal precedes a divergence within 2-3 days.
Optional: Add a 50-day SMA on the price chart:
Longs only if price > 50-SMA.
Shorts only if price < 50-SMA.
Example Trades (XRP 1D)

Signal: Green triangle (strong_bull) at $0.55.
Confirmation: Price closes above 5-SMA and $0.57 high.
Entry: Buy at $0.58.
Stop Loss: $0.53 (recent low).
Take Profit: $0.63 (2:1 RR) or exit on suppression_bear.
Outcome: Price hits $0.64, exit at $0.63 for profit.
Bearish Trade
Signal: Red triangle (strong_bear) at $0.70.
Confirmation: Price closes below 5-SMA and $0.68 low.
Entry: Short at $0.67.
Stop Loss: $0.71 (recent high).

VSA Volume + Fibonacci (Volunacci)Overview
This indicator combines Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) with Fibonacci levels to identify key price zones based on volume behavior. It helps traders determine potential support and resistance levels influenced by volume strength.
How It Works
Volume Calculation
The indicator calculates volume levels based on the selected timeframe.
It identifies high volume spikes and low volume dips, which are critical for detecting supply and demand shifts.
It uses a simple moving average (SMA) of volume to smooth fluctuations.
Fibonacci Levels Integration
When a high-volume event is detected, the indicator records the highest high and lowest low of that candle.
It then plots Fibonacci retracement and extension levels to highlight potential price reaction zones.
Negative Fibonacci levels are included to identify possible deep retracements.
Visual Features
The indicator adapts to both light and dark themes for better visibility.
Fibonacci lines are color-coded based on key retracement and extension levels.
A table displaying key Fibonacci levels and their corresponding prices is provided for quick reference.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
It helps traders spot accumulation and distribution phases by analyzing volume at key price points.
The combination of VSA and Fibonacci allows traders to confirm trend strength and identify potential reversal points.
Works well for trend-following strategies, scalping, and breakout trading.
How to Use This Indicator?
Use it to confirm breakouts or reversals at Fibonacci levels when volume supports the move.
Watch for high-volume spikes near key Fibonacci zones—these can signal strong trend continuation or reversal.
Use the displayed Fibonacci table to quickly assess price reaction levels.
Credits
This script was inspired by the Hidden Gap’s VSA Volume indicator by HPotter and has been enhanced by integrating Fibonacci-based analysis.
Divergence IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Divergence IQ"
Divergence IQ lets traders identify divergences between price action and almost ANY TradingView technical indicator. This tool is designed to help you spot potential trend reversals and continuation patterns with a range of configurable features.
Features
Divergence Detection
Detects both regular and hidden divergences for bullish and bearish setups by comparing price movements with changes in the indicator.
Offers two detection methods: one based on classic pivot point analysis and another that provides immediate divergence signals.
Option to use closing prices for divergence detection, allowing you to choose the data that best fits your strategy.
Normalization Options:
Includes multiple normalization techniques such as robust scaling, rolling Z-score, rolling min-max, or no normalization at all.
Adjustable normalization window lets you customize the indicator to suit various market conditions.
Option to display the normalized indicator on the chart for clearer visual comparison.
Allows traders to take indicators that aren't oscillators, and convert them into an oscillator - allowing for better divergence detection.
Simulated Trade Management:
Integrates simulated trade entries and exits based on divergence signals to demonstrate potential trading outcomes.
Customizable exit strategies with options for ATR-based or percentage-based stop loss and profit target settings.
Automatically calculates key trade metrics such as profit percentage, win rate, profit factor, and total trade count.
Visual Enhancements and On-Chart Displays:
Color-coded signals differentiate between bullish, bearish, hidden bullish, and hidden bearish divergence setups.
On-chart labels, lines, and gradient flow visualizations clearly mark divergence signals, entry points, and exit levels.
Configurable settings let you choose whether to display divergence signals on the price chart or in a separate pane.
Performance Metrics Table:
A performance table dynamically displays important statistics like profit, win rate, profit factor, and number of trades.
This feature offers an at-a-glance assessment of how the divergence-based strategy is performing.
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bullish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The image above shows Divergence IQ successfully identifying and trading a hidden bearish divergence between an indicator and price action!
The performance table is designed to provide a clear summary of simulated trade results based on divergence setups. You can easily review key metrics to assess the strategy’s effectiveness over different time periods.
Customization and Adaptability
Divergence IQ offers a wide range of configurable settings to tailor the indicator to your personal trading approach. You can adjust the lookback and lookahead periods for pivot detection, select your preferred method for normalization, and modify trade exit parameters to manage risk according to your strategy. The tool’s clear visual elements and comprehensive performance metrics make it a useful addition to your technical analysis toolbox.
The image above shows Divergence IQ identifying divergences between price action and OBV with no normalization technique applied.
While traders can look for divergences between OBV and price, OBV doesn't naturally behave like an oscillator, with no definable upper and lower threshold, OBV can infinitely increase or decrease.
With Divergence IQ's ability to normalize any indicator, traders can normalize non-oscillator technical indicators such as OBV, CVD, MACD, or even a moving average.
In the image above, the "Robust Scaling" normalization technique is selected. Consequently, the output of OBV has changed and is now behaving similar to an oscillator-like technical indicator. This makes spotting divergences between the indicator and price easier and more appropriate.
The three normalization techniques included will change the indicator's final output to be more compatible with divergence detection.
This feature can be used with almost any technical indicator.
Stop Type
Traders can select between ATR based profit targets and stop losses, or percentage based profit targets and stop losses.
The image above shows options for the feature.
Divergence Detection Method
A natural pitfall of divergence trading is that it generally takes several bars to "confirm" a divergence. This makes trading the divergence complicated, because the entry at time of the divergence might look great; however, the divergence wasn't actually signaled until several bars later.
To circumvent this issue, Divergence IQ offers two divergence detection mechanisms.
Pivot Detection
Pivot detection mode is the same as almost every divergence indicator on TradingView. The Pivots High Low indicator is used to detect market/indicator highs and lows and, consequently, divergences.
This method generally finds the "best looking" divergences, but will always take additional time to confirm the divergence.
Immediate Detection
Immediate detection mode attempts to reduce lag between the divergence and its confirmation to as little as possible while avoiding repainting.
Immediate detection mode still uses the Pivots Detection model to find the first high/low of a divergence. However, the most recent high/low does not utilize the Pivot Detection model, and instead immediately looks for a divergence between price and an indicator.
Immediate Detection Mode will always signal a divergence one bar after it's occurred, and traders can set alerts in this mode to be alerted as soon as the divergence occurs.
TradingView Backtester Integration
Divergence IQ is fully compatible with the TradingView backtester!
Divergence IQ isn’t designed to be a “profitable strategy” for users to trade. Instead, the intention of including the backtester is to let users backtest divergence-based trading strategies between the asset on their chart and almost any technical indicator, and to see if divergences have any predictive utility in that market.
So while the backtester is available in Divergence IQ, it’s for users to personally figure out if they should consider a divergence an actionable insight, and not a solicitation that Divergence IQ is a profitable trading strategy. Divergence IQ should be thought of as a Divergence backtesting toolkit, not a full-feature trading strategy.
Strategy Properties Used For Backtest
Initial Capital: $1000 - a realistic amount of starting capital that will resonate with many traders
Amount Per Trade: 5% of equity - a realistic amount of capital to invest relative to portfolio size
Commission: 0.02% - a conservative amount of commission to pay for trade that is standard in crypto trading, and very high for other markets.
Slippage: 1 tick - appropriate for liquid markets, but must be increased in markets with low activity.
Once more, the backtester is meant for traders to personally figure out if divergences are actionable trading signals on the market they wish to trade with the indicator they wish to use.
And that's all!
If you have any cool features you think can benefit Divergence IQ - please feel free to share them!
Thank you so much TradingView community!

WaveTrend Divergences, Candle Colouring and TP Signal [LuciTech]WaveTrend is a momentum-based oscillator designed to track trend strength, detect divergences, and highlight potential take-profit zones using Bollinger Bands. It provides a clear visualization of market conditions to help traders identify trend shifts and exhaustion points.
The WaveTrend Oscillator consists of a smoothed momentum line (WT Line) and a signal line, which work together to indicate trend direction and possible reversals. When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests bullish momentum, while crossing below signals bearish momentum.
Candle colouring changes dynamically based on WaveTrend crossovers. If the WT Line crosses above the signal line, candles turn bullish. If the WT Line crosses below the signal line, candles turn bearish. This provides an immediate visual cue for trend direction.
Divergence Detection identifies when price action contradicts the WaveTrend movement.
Bullish Divergence appears when price makes a lower low, but the WT Line forms a higher low, suggesting weakening bearish pressure.
Bearish Divergence appears when price makes a higher high, but the WT Line forms a lower high, indicating weakening bullish pressure.
Plus (+) Divergences are stronger signals that occur when the first pivot of the divergence happens at an extreme level—above +60 for bearish divergence or below -60 for bullish divergence. These levels suggest the market is overbought or oversold, making the divergence more significant.
Bollinger Band Signals highlight potential take-profit zones by detecting when the WT Line moves beyond its upper or lower Bollinger Band.
If the WT Line crosses above the upper band, it signals stretched bullish momentum, suggesting a possible pullback or reversal.
If the WT Line crosses below the lower band, it indicates stretched bearish momentum, warning of a potential bounce.
How It Works
The WaveTrend momentum calculation is based on an EMA-smoothed moving average to filter out noise and provide a more reliable trend indication.
The WT Line (momentum line) fluctuates based on market momentum.
The signal line smooths out the WT Line to help identify trend shifts.
When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests buying pressure, and when it crosses below, it indicates selling pressure.
Divergences are detected by comparing pivot highs and lows in price with pivot highs and lows in the WT Line.
A pivot forms when a local high or low is confirmed after a certain number of bars.
The indicator tracks whether price action and the WT Line are making opposite movements.
If a divergence occurs and the first pivot was beyond ±60, it is marked as a Plus Divergence, making it a stronger reversal signal.
Bollinger Bands are applied directly to the WT Line instead of price, identifying when the WT Line moves outside its volatility range. This helps traders recognize when momentum is overstretched and a potential reversal or retracement is likely.
Settings
Channel Length (default: 8) controls the period used to calculate the WT Line.
Average Length (default: 16) smooths the WT Line for better trend detection.
Divergences (on/off) enables or disables divergence plotting.
Candle colouring (on/off) applies or removes trend-based candle colour changes.
Bollinger Band Signals (on/off) toggles take-profit signals when the WT Line crosses the bands.
Bullish/Bearish colours allow customization of divergence and signal colours.
Interpretation
The WaveTrend Oscillator helps traders assess market momentum and trend strength.
Crossovers between the WT Line and signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
Divergences warn of weakening momentum and possible reversals, with Plus Divergences acting as stronger signals.
Bollinger Band Crosses highlight areas where momentum is overstretched, signaling potential profit-taking opportunities.
