ottlibLibrary "ottlib"
█ OVERVIEW
This library contains functions for the calculation of the OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker) and its variants, originally created by Anıl Özekşi (Anil_Ozeksi). Special thanks to him for the concept and to Kıvanç Özbilgiç (KivancOzbilgic) and dg_factor (dg_factor) for adapting them to Pine Script.
█ WHAT IS "OTT"
The OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker) is a highly customizable and very effective trend-following indicator that relies on moving averages and a trailing stop at its core. Moving averages help reduce noise by smoothing out sudden price movements in the markets, while trailing stops assist in detecting trend reversals with precision. Initially developed as a noise-free trailing stop, the current variants of OTT range from rapid trend reversal detection to long-term trend confirmation, thanks to its extensive customizability.
It's well-known variants are:
OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker).
TOTT (Twin OTT).
OTT Channels.
RISOTTO (RSI OTT).
SOTT (Stochastic OTT).
HOTT & LOTT (Highest & Lowest OTT)
ROTT (Relative OTT)
FT (Original name is Fırsatçı Trend in Turkish which translates to Opportunist Trend)

Usage of this library is very simple. Just import it to your script with the code below and use its functions.
import ismailcarlik/ottlib/1 as ottlib
█ FUNCTIONS
• f_vidya(source, length, cmoLength)
Short Definition: Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA).
Details: This function computes Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA), which serves as the original moving average for OTT. The 'length' parameter determines the number of bars used to calculate the average of the given source. Lower values result in less smoothing of prices, while higher values lead to greater smoothing. While primarily used internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a moving average or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series float) Series of values to process.
length (simple int) : (simple int) Number of bars to lookback.
cmoLength (simple int) : (simple int) Number of bars to lookback for calculating CMO. Default value is `9`.
Returns: (float) Calculated average of `source` for `length` bars back.
Example:
vidyaValue = ottlib.f_vidya(source = close, length = 20)
plot(vidyaValue, color = color.blue)
• f_mostTrail(source, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates trailing stop value.
Details: This function calculates the trailing stop value for a given source and the percentage. The 'multiplier' parameter defines the percentage of the trailing stop. Lower values are beneficial for catching short-term reversals, while higher values aid in identifying long-term trends. Although only used once internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a traditional trailing stop or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series int/float) Series of values to process.
multiplier (simple float) : (simple float) Percent of trailing stop.
Returns: (float) Calculated value of trailing stop.
Example:
emaValue = ta.ema(source = close, length = 14)
mostValue = ottlib.f_mostTrail(source = emaValue, multiplier = 2.0)
plot(mostValue, color = emaValue >= mostValue ? color.green : color.red)
• f_ottTrail(source, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates OTT-specific trailing stop value.
Details: This function calculates the trailing stop value for a given source in the manner used in OTT. Unlike a traditional trailing stop, this function modifies the traditional trailing stop value from two bars prior by adjusting it further with half the specified percentage. The 'multiplier' parameter defines the percentage of the trailing stop. Lower values are beneficial for catching short-term reversals, while higher values aid in identifying long-term trends. Although primarily used internally in this library, it has been made available for users who wish to utilize it as a trailing stop or use in custom OTT implementations.
Parameters:
source (float) : (series int/float) Series of values to process.
multiplier (simple float) : (simple float) Percent of trailing stop.
Returns: (float) Calculated value of OTT-specific trailing stop.
Example:
vidyaValue = ottlib.f_vidya(source = close, length = 20)
ottValue = ottlib.f_ottTrail(source = vidyaValue, multiplier = 1.5)
plot(ottValue, color = vidyaValue >= ottValue ? color.green : color.red)
• ott(source, length, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates OTT (Optimized Trend Tracker).
Details: The OTT consists of two lines. The first, known as the "Support Line", is the VIDYA of the given source. The second, called the "OTT Line", is the trailing stop based on the Support Line.

• hottlott(length, multiplier)
Short Definition: Calculates HOTT & LOTT (Highest & Lowest OTT).
Details: HOTT & LOTT are composed of two lines: the "HOTT Line", which is the OTT of the highest price's VIDYA, and the "LOTT Line", the OTT of the lowest price's VIDYA. A high price surpassing the HOTT Line can be considered a long signal, while a low price dropping below the LOTT Line may indicate a short signal.

Short Definition: Calculates ROTT (Relative OTT).
Details: ROTT comprises two lines: the "Support Line", which is the VIDYA of the given source, and the "ROTT Line", the OTT of the Support Line's VIDYA. The market is considered in an uptrend if the Support Line is above the ROTT Line, and in a downtrend if it is below. ROTT is similar to OTT, but the key difference is that the ROTT Line is derived from the VIDYA of two bars of Support Line, not directly from it.

Details: FT is comprised of two lines: the "Support Line", which is the VIDYA of the given source, and the "FT Line", a trailing stop of the Support Line calculated using both minor and major trend values. The market is considered in an uptrend when the Support Line is above the FT Line, and in a downtrend when it is below.

longCondition = ta.crossover(supportLine, ftLine)
shortCondition = ta.crossunder(supportLine, ftLine)
█ CUSTOM OTT CREATION
Users can create custom OTT implementations using f_ottTrail function in this library. The example code which uses EMA of 7 period as moving average and calculates OTT based of it is below.
Source Code:
//@version=5
indicator("Custom OTT", shorttitle = "COTT", overlay = true)
import ismailcarlik/ottlib/1 as ottlib
src = input.source(close, title = "Source")
length = input.int(7, title = "Length", minval = 1)
multiplier = input.float(2.0, title = "Multiplier", minval = 0.1)
support = ta.ema(source = src, length = length)
ott = ottlib.f_ottTrail(source = support, multiplier = multiplier)
pSupport = plot(support, title = "Moving Average Line (Support)", color = color.blue)
pOtt = plot(ott, title = "Custom OTT Line", color = color.orange)
fillColor = support >= ott ? color.new(color.green, 60) : color.new(color.red, 60)
fill(pSupport, pOtt, color = fillColor, title = "Direction")
Result:

Lott
HIGH and LOW Optimized Trend Tracker HOTT LOTTAnıl Özekşi's latest development on his precious OTT - Optimized Trend Tracker:
In this version, there are two lines of OTT which are derived from HIGHEST price values (HOTT) and LOVEST price values (LOTT) which were originally sourced to CLOSE values on default OTT.
Another significant difference is there is no Support Line (Moving Average) in this version.
The area between HOTT and LOTT is FLAT ZONE which developer advises to do nothing.
Bars will be highlighted to Turquoise when candles close over HOTT, means an UPTREND SIGNAL
and to Fuchia when candles begin closing under LOTT line to indicate a DOWNTREND SIGNAL.
FLAT ZONE is highlighted also to have the maximum concentration on sideways market conditions.
There are three quantitative parameters in this indicator:
The first parameter in the OTT indicator set by the two parameters is the period/length.
OTT lines will be much sensitive to trend movements if it is smaller.
And vice versa, will be less sensitive when it is longer.
As the period increases it will become less sensitive to little trends and price actions.
In this way, your choice of period, will be closely related to which of the sort of trends you are interested in.
The OTT percent parameter in OTT is an optimization coefficient. Just like in the period
small values are better at capturing short term fluctuations, while large values
will be more suitable for long-term trends.
The final adjustable quantitative parameter is HIGHEST and LOWEST length which is the source of calculations.
Anıl Özekşi generally works on 1 minute charts so I personally advise traders to optimize parameters to have more accurate signals. Just concentrate on FLAT price zones and indicator will do the rest in trends.
