Trend Reversal Probability CalculatorThe "Trend Reversal Probability Calculator" is a TradingView indicator that calculates the probability of a trend reversal based on the crossover of multiple moving averages and the rate of change (ROC) of their slopes. This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals by providing signals when the short-term moving averages start to slope in the opposite direction of the long-term moving average.
To use the indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart and adjust the input parameters according to your preferences. The input parameters include the length of the moving averages, the ROC length (trend sensitivity), and the reversal sensitivity (signal percentage).
The indicator calculates the ROC of the moving averages and determines if the short-term moving averages are sloping in the opposite direction of the long-term moving average. The number of short-term moving averages that meet this condition is then counted, and the probability of a trend reversal is calculated based on the percentage of short-term moving averages that meet this condition.
When the probability of a trend reversal is high, a bullish or bearish signal is generated, depending on the direction of the reversal. The bullish signal is generated when the short-term moving averages start to slope upward, and the bearish signal is generated when the short-term moving averages start to slope downward.
Traders can use the "Trend Reversal Probability Calculator" to identify potential trend reversals and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. It is important to note that this indicator is not a guarantee of a trend reversal and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.

4 Pole ButterworthTitle: 4 Pole Butterworth Filter: A Smooth Filtering Technique for Technical Analysis
Introduction:
In technical analysis, filtering techniques are employed to remove noise from time-series data, helping traders to identify trends and make better-informed decisions. One such filtering technique is the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter. In this post, we will delve into the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter, explore its properties, and discuss its implementation in Pine Script for TradingView.
4 Pole Butterworth Filter:
The Butterworth filter is a type of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter that is widely used in signal processing applications. Named after the British engineer Stephen Butterworth, this filter is designed to have a maximally flat frequency response in the passband, meaning it does not introduce any distortions or ripples in the filtered signal.
The 4 Pole Butterworth Filter is a specific type of Butterworth filter that utilizes four poles in its transfer function. This design provides a steeper roll-off between the passband and the stopband, allowing for better noise reduction without significantly affecting the underlying data.
Why Choose the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter for Smoothing?
The 4 Pole Butterworth Filter is an excellent choice for smoothing in technical analysis due to its maximally flat frequency response in the passband. This property ensures that the filtered signal remains as close as possible to the original data, without introducing any distortions or ripples. Additionally, the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter provides a steeper roll-off between the passband and the stopband, enabling better noise reduction while preserving the essential features of the data.
Implementing the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter:
In Pine Script, we can implement the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter using a custom function called `fourpolebutter`. The function takes two input parameters: the source data (src) and the filter length (len). The filter length determines the cutoff frequency of the filter, which in turn affects the amount of smoothing applied to the data.
Within the `fourpolebutter` function, we first calculate the filter coefficients based on the filter length. These coefficients are essential for calculating the output of the filter at each data point. Next, we compute the filtered output using a recursive formula that involves the current and previous data points as well as the filter coefficients.
Finally, we create a script that takes user inputs for the source data and filter length and plots the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter on a TradingView chart.
By adjusting the input parameters, users can configure the 4 Pole Butterworth Filter to suit their specific requirements and improve the readability of their charts.
Conclusion:
The 4 Pole Butterworth Filter is a powerful smoothing technique that can be used in technical analysis to effectively reduce noise in time-series data. Its maximally flat frequency response in the passband ensures that the filtered signal remains as close as possible to the original data, while its steeper roll-off between the passband and the stopband provides better noise reduction. By implementing this filter in Pine Script, traders can easily integrate it into their trading strategies and enhance the clarity of their charts.
Chebyshev type I and II FilterTitle: Chebyshev Type I and II Filters: Smoothing Techniques for Technical Analysis
Introduction:
In technical analysis, smoothing techniques are used to remove noise from a time series data. They help to identify trends and improve the readability of charts. One such powerful smoothing technique is the Chebyshev Type I and II Filters. In this post, we will dive deep into the Chebyshev filters, discuss their significance, and explain the differences between Type I and Type II filters.
Chebyshev Filters:
Chebyshev filters are a class of infinite impulse response (IIR) filters that are widely used in signal processing applications. They are known for their ability to provide a sharper cutoff between the passband and the stopband compared to other filter types, such as Butterworth filters. The Chebyshev filters are named after the Russian mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who created the Chebyshev polynomials that form the basis for these filters.
The two main types of Chebyshev filters are:
1. Chebyshev Type I filters: These filters have an equiripple passband, which means they have equal and constant ripple within the passband. The advantage of Type I filters is that they usually provide a faster roll-off rate between the passband and the stopband compared to other filter types. However, the trade-off is that they may have larger ripples in the passband, resulting in a less smooth output.
2. Chebyshev Type II filters: These filters have an equiripple stopband, which means they have equal and constant ripple within the stopband. The advantage of Type II filters is that they provide a more controlled output by minimizing the ripple in the passband. However, this comes at the cost of a slower roll-off rate between the passband and the stopband compared to Type I filters.
Why Choose Chebyshev Filters for Smoothing?
Chebyshev filters are an excellent choice for smoothing in technical analysis due to their ability to provide a sharper transition between the passband and the stopband. This sharper transition helps in preserving the essential features of the underlying data while effectively removing noise. The two types of Chebyshev filters offer different trade-offs between the smoothness of the output and the roll-off rate, allowing users to choose the one that best suits their requirements.
Implementing Chebyshev Filters:
In the Pine Script language, we can implement the Chebyshev Type I and II filters using custom functions. We first define the custom hyperbolic functions cosh, acosh, sinh, and asinh, as well as the inverse tangent function atan. These functions are essential for calculating the filter coefficients.
Next, we create two separate functions for the Chebyshev Type I and II filters, named chebyshevI and chebyshevII, respectively. Each function takes three input parameters: the source data (src), the filter length (len), and the ripple value (ripple). The ripple value determines the amount of ripple in the passband for Type I filters and in the stopband for Type II filters. A higher ripple value results in a faster roll-off rate but may lead to a less smooth output.
Finally, we create a main function called chebyshev, which takes an additional boolean input parameter named style. If the style parameter is set to false, the function calculates the Chebyshev Type I filter using the chebyshevI function. If the style parameter is set to true, the function calculates the Chebyshev Type II filter using the chebyshevII function.
By adjusting the input parameters, users can choose the type of Chebyshev filter and configure its characteristics to suit their needs.
Conclusion:
The Chebyshev Type I and II filters are powerful smoothing techniques that can be used in technical analysis to remove noise from time series data. They offer a sharper transition between the passband and the stopband compared to other filter types, which helps in preserving the essential features of the data while effectively reducing noise. By implementing these filters in Pine Script, traders can easily integrate them into their trading strategies and improve the readability of their charts.
Divergences in 52 Week Moving Averages, Adjusted and SmoothedThis script description is intended to be holistic and comprehensive for the understanding of the interested parties who view the script.
Following the PineCoders suggestions, I have provided detailed breakdowns both within the code and in the description immediately below:
► Description
This description is intended to be detailed and meaningful, conveying the understanding of the script’s intention to the user:
The theory: Divergences and extreme readings in 52-Week highs on major indexes can provide a view into a potential pending move in the opposite direction of how the market has been trending. By comparing the 52-Week Hi/Lo indices and applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), we can assess how extreme a move is from the average. If the move provides an extreme reading, it would potentially be beneficial to “fade” the move (take a position in the opposing direction).
The intention: The intentionality of this script is to provide a visualization of when the highly-probable opportunity to fade over a multi-day or multi-week period arises. In addition to this, based on backtesting prior moves and reading the various levels of significant reversals, three tiers: “Standard”, “Sensitive”, and “Highly Sensitive” have been applied, the user can choose which sensitivity level they would like to see, there are far less false positives on the Standard and Sensitive settings, while Highly Sensitive often signals multiple times with the move coming a few days later.
The application: The settings allow the user to customize their sensitivity to the fade signals, with the ability to customize the visual that shows up as well. For higher-highs that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the top of the candle, for lower-lows that are fade-worthy, the signal will appear on the bottom of the candle. The users risk criteria should be the primary driver of the entry/exit, although when backtesting it appears that the significant move is typically completed within a 2-4 week period at max and 3-5 day period at minimum.
A personal note: I am a futures trader intraday but would very strongly caution users when using this strategy with futures (unless their risk tolerance is higher than most). The most beneficial strategy when fading moves would be to enter in tranches, starting at the first signal and adding on any pullback (as long as the pullback is not below the initial entry point). 1-6 Week Date-To-Expiry options would be the primary method for applying this strategy. I would also like to add that SPY/SPX options (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust / CBOE S&P 500 Index) are the most liquid options that could be applied in this strategy.
► Description (additional)
With the understanding that few users can read pinescript (Pine), the description above contains all of the necessary information that is necessary for a user to understand the intention for script utilization. For those who do understand Pine, the code is commented in each section in order to provide an understanding of the underlying functions, calculations, and thought process that went on during the writing of the script.
► Description (additional)
This script’s description contains no delegations, all aspects of the script as well as the initial idea behind it are contained in the description above, which is self-contained in it’s entirety with a clear and defined purpose that is written with the intent to holistically capture the intent of the potential use for this indicator.
► General House Rule #2
This script and the description (as well as my profile) contain no links or associations to promotion of any kind, I am not a business, I am not an individual that will in any way make money from this script or the promotion of another person, idea, company, entity, or legal persons (foreign or domestic).
► Originality and usefulness
This is an original and custom script (and idea) that is not a rehashing or a copy of any code from any other programmers in the tradingview community.
Conceptive Price Moving Average [CSM]The Conceptive Price Moving Average (CPMA) is a technical indicator designed to provide a more accurate moving average of the price by using the average of various price types, such as open, close, high, low, etc. The CPMA can help to smooth out the noise and provide a clearer picture of the overall trend by taking the average of the last 3 candles for each price type and then calculating the average of those averages.
To use the CPMA for generating buy/sell signals, you can look for crossovers of the CPMA and other commonly used moving averages, such as the 9-period EMA, 20-period EMA, 50-period EMA, 100-period EMA, and 200-period EMA, which are also plotted on the chart. When the CPMA crosses above a shorter-term moving average, such as the 9-period EMA or 20-period EMA, it can indicate a potential buy opportunity, while when the CPMA crosses below a shorter-term moving average, it can indicate a potential sell opportunity.
Based on my analysis of BankNifty and Nifty, I have found that the CPMA works best at a length of 21, showing good resistance and support for stocks. Therefore, I recommend using a length of 21 when using the CPMA for generating buy/sell signals.
FRAMA and Candlestick Patterns [CSM]FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average) is a technical analysis indicator that adapts its smoothing period according to the market's volatility, allowing it to provide accurate signals in all market conditions. This indicator script plots the FRAMA on a chart and generates buy and sell signals based on the FRAMA and candlestick patterns. It also includes an option to filter signals based on bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.
To detect candlestick patterns, the script imports the "BankNifty_CSM" library from the creator's public library on TradingView. The FRAMA calculation is done using a loop that iterates over the last "length" number of bars, with the smoothing factor adjusted based on the "fracDim" parameter.
The buy and sell signals are generated based on the position of the current price relative to the FRAMA line. If the "engulfing" parameter is set to true, the signals are further filtered based on bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.
Overall, this script combines various technical indicators and candlestick pattern recognition to provide a complete trading strategy. However, as with any trading strategy, it should be thoroughly backtested and evaluated before using it in a live trading environment.
AI-Bank-Nifty Tech AnalysisThis code is a TradingView indicator that analyzes the Bank Nifty index of the Indian stock market. It uses various inputs to customize the indicator's appearance and analysis, such as enabling analysis based on the chart's timeframe, detecting bullish and bearish engulfing candles, and setting the table position and style.
The code imports an external script called BankNifty_CSM, which likely contains functions that calculate technical indicators such as the RSI, MACD, VWAP, and more. The code then defines several table cell colors and other styling parameters.
Next, the code defines a table to display the technical analysis of eight bank stocks in the Bank Nifty index. It then defines a function called get_BankComponent_Details that takes a stock symbol as input, requests the stock's OHLCV data, and calculates several technical indicators using the imported CSM_BankNifty functions.
The code also defines two functions called get_EngulfingBullish_Detection and get_EngulfingBearish_Detection to detect bullish and bearish engulfing candles.
Finally, the code calculates the technical analysis for each bank stock using the get_BankComponent_Details function and displays the results in the table. If the engulfing input is enabled, the code also checks for bullish and bearish engulfing candles and displays buy/sell signals accordingly.
The FRAMA stands for "Fractal Adaptive Moving Average," which is a type of moving average that adjusts its smoothing factor based on the fractal dimension of the price data. The fractal dimension reflects self-similarity at different scales. The FRAMA uses this property to adapt to the scale of price movements, capturing short-term and long-term trends while minimizing lag. The FRAMA was developed by John F. Ehlers and is commonly used by traders and analysts in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy and sell signals. I tried to create this indicator in Pine.
In this context, "RS" stands for "Relative Strength," which is a technical indicator that compares the performance of a particular stock or market sector against a benchmark index.
The "Alligator" is a technical analysis tool that consists of three smoothed moving averages. Introduced by Bill Williams in his book "Trading Chaos," the three lines are called the Jaw, Teeth, and Lips of the Alligator. The Alligator indicator helps traders identify the trend direction and its strength, as well as potential entry and exit points. When the three lines are intertwined or close to each other, it indicates a range-bound market, while a divergence between them indicates a trending market. The position of the price in relation to the Alligator lines can also provide signals, such as a buy signal when the price crosses above the Alligator lines and a sell signal when the price crosses below them.
In addition to these, we have several other commonly used technical indicators, such as MACD, RSI, MFI (Money Flow Index), VWAP, EMA, and Supertrend. I used all the built-in functions for these indicators from TradingView. Thanks to the developer of this TradingView Indicator.
I also created a BankNifty Components Table and checked it on the dashboard.
Low-lag TrendlineWe apply the LLT trend timing to daily data of market indices such as the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300, Shanghai Composite Index, and Shenzhen Composite Index, and use the tangent method to make direction judgments, obtaining a good risk return situation. Compared to MA trend timing, we found that the LLT model has a shorter timing period and better stability. However, there is a problem with using the tangent method to track trend lines, which is that near the turning point of the trend, the tangent slope is prone to oscillate near zero, resulting in multiple timing judgments and a decrease in accuracy. This is equivalent to embedding a certain stop loss mechanism in the timing model, so we call this type of timing method transactional timing. For the LLT indicator, once the trend is established, holding positions can maintain a relatively long profit period, and although there are many volatile trading times near the inflection point, the holding time is often very short. Therefore, for transactional timing, when the accuracy of judgment is relatively low, the proportion of correct judgment time is often high, and profits mainly come from this part of the contribution.

█ Fourier Transform and Hodrick-Prescott Filter in Financial Time Series Analysis
Financial time series analysis plays a crucial role in making informed decisions about investments and trading strategies. Among the various methods used in this domain, the Fourier Transform and the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) Filter have emerged as powerful techniques for processing and analyzing financial data. This section aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these two methodologies, their significance in financial time series analysis, and their combined application to enhance trading strategies.
█ The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform: History, Applications, and Use in Financial Time Series Analysis
The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is an advanced spectral estimation technique developed by John J. Quinn and Mauricio A. Fernandes in the early 1990s. It builds upon the classical Fourier Transform by introducing an adaptive approach that improves the identification of dominant frequencies in noisy signals. This section will explore the history of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform, its applications in various domains, and its specific use in financial time series analysis.
History of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform
The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform was introduced in a 1993 paper titled "The Application of Adaptive Estimation to the Interpolation of Missing Values in Noisy Signals." In this paper, Quinn and Fernandes developed an adaptive spectral estimation algorithm to address the limitations of the classical Fourier Transform when analyzing noisy signals.
The classical Fourier Transform is a powerful mathematical tool that decomposes a function or a time series into a sum of sinusoids, making it easier to identify underlying patterns and trends. However, its performance can be negatively impacted by noise and missing data points, leading to inaccurate frequency identification.
Quinn and Fernandes sought to address these issues by developing an adaptive algorithm that could more accurately identify the dominant frequencies in a noisy signal, even when data points were missing. This adaptive algorithm, now known as the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform, employs an iterative approach to refine the frequency estimates, ultimately resulting in improved spectral estimation.
Applications of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform
The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform has found applications in various fields, including signal processing, telecommunications, geophysics, and biomedical engineering. Its ability to accurately identify dominant frequencies in noisy signals makes it a valuable tool for analyzing and interpreting data in these domains.
For example, in telecommunications, the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform can be used to analyze the performance of communication systems and identify interference patterns. In geophysics, it can help detect and analyze seismic signals and vibrations, leading to improved understanding of geological processes. In biomedical engineering, the technique can be employed to analyze physiological signals, such as electrocardiograms, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better patient care.
Use of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform in Financial Time Series Analysis
In financial time series analysis, the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform can be a powerful tool for isolating the dominant cycles and frequencies in asset price data. By more accurately identifying these critical cycles, traders can better understand the underlying dynamics of financial markets and develop more effective trading strategies.
The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is used in conjunction with the Hodrick-Prescott Filter, a technique that separates the underlying trend from the cyclical component in a time series. By first applying the Hodrick-Prescott Filter to the financial data, short-term fluctuations and noise are removed, resulting in a smoothed representation of the underlying trend. This smoothed data is then subjected to the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform, allowing for more accurate identification of the dominant cycles and frequencies in the asset price data.
By employing the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform in this manner, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics of financial time series and develop more effective trading strategies. The enhanced knowledge of market cycles and frequencies can lead to improved risk management and ultimately, better investment performance.
The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is an advanced spectral estimation technique that has proven valuable in various domains, including financial time series analysis. Its adaptive approach to frequency identification addresses the limitations of the classical Fourier Transform when analyzing noisy signals, leading to more accurate and reliable analysis. By employing the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform in financial time series analysis, traders can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying financial instrument.
Drawbacks to the Quinn-Fernandes algorithm
While the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is an effective tool for identifying dominant cycles and frequencies in financial time series, it is not without its drawbacks. Some of the limitations and challenges associated with this indicator include:
1. Computational complexity: The adaptive nature of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform requires iterative calculations, which can lead to increased computational complexity. This can be particularly challenging when analyzing large datasets or when the indicator is used in real-time trading environments.
2. Sensitivity to input parameters: The performance of the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is dependent on the choice of input parameters, such as the number of harmonic periods, frequency tolerance, and Hodrick-Prescott filter settings. Choosing inappropriate parameter values can lead to inaccurate frequency identification or reduced performance. Finding the optimal parameter settings can be challenging, and may require trial and error or a more sophisticated optimization process.
3. Assumption of stationary data: The Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform assumes that the underlying data is stationary, meaning that its statistical properties do not change over time. However, financial time series data is often non-stationary, with changing trends and volatility. This can limit the effectiveness of the indicator and may require additional preprocessing steps, such as detrending or differencing, to ensure the data meets the assumptions of the algorithm.
4. Limitations in noisy environments: Although the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is designed to handle noisy signals, its performance may still be negatively impacted by significant noise levels. In such cases, the identification of dominant frequencies may become less reliable, leading to suboptimal trading signals or strategies.
5. Lagging indicator: As with many technical analysis tools, the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform is a lagging indicator, meaning that it is based on past data. While it can provide valuable insights into historical market dynamics, its ability to predict future price movements may be limited. This can result in false signals or late entries and exits, potentially reducing the effectiveness of trading strategies based on this indicator.
Despite these drawbacks, the Quinn-Fernandes Fourier Transform remains a valuable tool for financial time series analysis when used appropriately. By being aware of its limitations and adjusting input parameters or preprocessing steps as needed, traders can still benefit from its ability to identify dominant cycles and frequencies in financial data, and use this information to inform their trading strategies.
█ Deep-dive into the Hodrick-Prescott Fitler
The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is a statistical tool used in economics and finance to separate a time series into two components: a trend component and a cyclical component. It is a powerful tool for identifying long-term trends in economic and financial data and is widely used by economists, central banks, and financial institutions around the world.
The HP filter was first introduced in the 1990s by economists Robert Hodrick and Edward Prescott. It is a simple, two-parameter filter that separates a time series into a trend component and a cyclical component. The trend component represents the long-term behavior of the data, while the cyclical component captures the shorter-term fluctuations around the trend.
The HP filter works by minimizing the following objective function:
Minimize: (Sum of Squared Deviations) + λ (Sum of Squared Second Differences)
Where:
1. The first term represents the deviation of the data from the trend.
2. The second term represents the smoothness of the trend.
3. λ is a smoothing parameter that determines the degree of smoothness of the trend.
The smoothing parameter λ is typically set to a value between 100 and 1600, depending on the frequency of the data. Higher values of λ lead to a smoother trend, while lower values lead to a more volatile trend.
The HP filter has several advantages over other smoothing techniques. It is a non-parametric method, meaning that it does not make any assumptions about the underlying distribution of the data. It also allows for easy comparison of trends across different time series and can be used with data of any frequency.
Another significant advantage of the HP Filter is its ability to adapt to changes in the underlying trend. This feature makes it particularly well-suited for analyzing financial time series, which often exhibit non-stationary behavior. By employing the HP Filter to smooth financial data, traders can more accurately identify and analyze the long-term trends that drive asset prices, ultimately leading to better-informed investment decisions.
However, the HP filter also has some limitations. It assumes that the trend is a smooth function, which may not be the case in some situations. It can also be sensitive to changes in the smoothing parameter λ, which may result in different trends for the same data. Additionally, the filter may produce unrealistic trends for very short time series.
Despite these limitations, the HP filter remains a valuable tool for analyzing economic and financial data. It is widely used by central banks and financial institutions to monitor long-term trends in the economy, and it can be used to identify turning points in the business cycle. The filter can also be used to analyze asset prices, exchange rates, and other financial variables.
The Hodrick-Prescott filter is a powerful tool for analyzing economic and financial data. It separates a time series into a trend component and a cyclical component, allowing for easy identification of long-term trends and turning points in the business cycle. While it has some limitations, it remains a valuable tool for economists, central banks, and financial institutions around the world.
█ Combined Application of Fourier Transform and Hodrick-Prescott Filter
The integration of the Fourier Transform and the Hodrick-Prescott Filter in financial time series analysis can offer several benefits. By first applying the HP Filter to the financial data, traders can remove short-term fluctuations and noise, effectively isolating the underlying trend. This smoothed data can then be subjected to the Fourier Transform, allowing for the identification of dominant cycles and frequencies with greater precision.
By combining these two powerful techniques, traders can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying dynamics of financial time series. This enhanced knowledge can lead to the development of more effective trading strategies, better risk management, and ultimately, improved investment performance.
The Fourier Transform and the Hodrick-Prescott Filter are powerful tools for financial time series analysis. Each technique offers unique benefits, with the Fourier Transform being adept at identifying dominant cycles and frequencies, and the HP Filter excelling at isolating long-term trends from short-term noise. By combining these methodologies, traders can develop a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics of financial time series, leading to more informed investment decisions and improved trading strategies. As the financial markets continue to evolve, the combined application of these techniques will undoubtedly remain an essential aspect of modern financial analysis.
█ Features
Endpointed and Non-repainting
This is an endpointed and non-repainting indicator. These are crucial factors that contribute to its usefulness and reliability in trading and investment strategies. Let us break down these concepts and discuss why they matter in the context of a financial indicator.
1. Endpoint nature: An endpoint indicator uses the most recent data points to calculate its values, ensuring that the output is timely and reflective of the current market conditions. This is in contrast to non-endpoint indicators, which may use earlier data points in their calculations, potentially leading to less timely or less relevant results. By utilizing the most recent data available, the endpoint nature of this indicator ensures that it remains up-to-date and relevant, providing traders and investors with valuable and actionable insights into the market dynamics.
2. Non-repainting characteristic: A non-repainting indicator is one that does not change its values or signals after they have been generated. This means that once a signal or a value has been plotted on the chart, it will remain there, and future data will not affect it. This is crucial for traders and investors, as it offers a sense of consistency and certainty when making decisions based on the indicator's output.
Repainting indicators, on the other hand, can change their values or signals as new data comes in, effectively "repainting" the past. This can be problematic for several reasons:
a. Misleading results: Repainting indicators can create the illusion of a highly accurate or successful trading system when backtesting, as the indicator may adapt its past signals to fit the historical price data. This can lead to overly optimistic performance results that may not hold up in real-time trading.
b. Decision-making uncertainty: When an indicator repaints, it becomes challenging for traders and investors to trust its signals, as the signal that prompted a trade may change or disappear after the fact. This can create confusion and indecision, making it difficult to execute a consistent trading strategy.
The endpoint and non-repainting characteristics of this indicator contribute to its overall reliability and effectiveness as a tool for trading and investment decision-making. By providing timely and consistent information, this indicator helps traders and investors make well-informed decisions that are less likely to be influenced by misleading or shifting data.
Inputs
Source: This input determines the source of the price data to be used for the calculations. Users can select from options like closing price, opening price, high, low, etc., based on their preferences. Changing the source of the price data (e.g., from closing price to opening price) will alter the base data used for calculations, which may lead to different patterns and cycles being identified.
Calculation Bars: This input represents the number of past bars used for the calculation. A higher value will use more historical data for the analysis, while a lower value will focus on more recent price data. Increasing the number of past bars used for calculation will incorporate more historical data into the analysis. This may lead to a more comprehensive understanding of long-term trends but could also result in a slower response to recent price changes. Decreasing this value will focus more on recent data, potentially making the indicator more responsive to short-term fluctuations.
Harmonic Period: This input represents the harmonic period, which is the number of harmonics used in the Fourier Transform. A higher value will result in more harmonics being used, potentially capturing more complex cycles in the price data. Increasing the harmonic period will include more harmonics in the Fourier Transform, potentially capturing more complex cycles in the price data. However, this may also introduce more noise and make it harder to identify clear patterns. Decreasing this value will focus on simpler cycles and may make the analysis clearer, but it might miss out on more complex patterns.
Frequency Tolerance: This input represents the frequency tolerance, which determines how close the frequencies of the harmonics must be to be considered part of the same cycle. A higher value will allow for more variation between harmonics, while a lower value will require the frequencies to be more similar. Increasing the frequency tolerance will allow for more variation between harmonics, potentially capturing a broader range of cycles. However, this may also introduce noise and make it more difficult to identify clear patterns. Decreasing this value will require the frequencies to be more similar, potentially making the analysis clearer, but it might miss out on some cycles.
Number of Bars to Render: This input determines the number of bars to render on the chart. A higher value will result in more historical data being displayed, but it may also slow down the computation due to the increased amount of data being processed. Increasing the number of bars to render on the chart will display more historical data, providing a broader context for the analysis. However, this may also slow down the computation due to the increased amount of data being processed. Decreasing this value will speed up the computation, but it will provide less historical context for the analysis.
Smoothing Mode: This input allows the user to choose between two smoothing modes for the source price data: no smoothing or Hodrick-Prescott (HP) smoothing. The choice depends on the user's preference for how the price data should be processed before the Fourier Transform is applied. Choosing between no smoothing and Hodrick-Prescott (HP) smoothing will affect the preprocessing of the price data. Using HP smoothing will remove some of the short-term fluctuations from the data, potentially making the analysis clearer and more focused on longer-term trends. Not using smoothing will retain the original price fluctuations, which may provide more detail but also introduce noise into the analysis.
Hodrick-Prescott Filter Period: This input represents the Hodrick-Prescott filter period, which is used if the user chooses to apply HP smoothing to the price data. A higher value will result in a smoother curve, while a lower value will retain more of the original price fluctuations. Increasing the Hodrick-Prescott filter period will result in a smoother curve for the price data, emphasizing longer-term trends and minimizing short-term fluctuations. Decreasing this value will retain more of the original price fluctuations, potentially providing more detail but also introducing noise into the analysis.

Probability Envelopes (PBE)Introduction
In the world of trading, technical analysis is vital for making informed decisions about the future direction of an asset's price. One such tool is the use of indicators, mathematical calculations that can help traders predict market trends. This article delves into an innovative indicator called the Probability Envelopes Indicator, which offers valuable insights into the potential price levels an asset may reach based on historical data. This in-depth look explores the statistical foundations of the indicator, highlighting its key components and benefits.
Section 1: Calculating Price Movements with Log Returns and Percentages
The Probability Envelopes Indicator provides the option to use either log returns or percentage changes when calculating price movements. Each method has its advantages:
Log Returns: These are calculated as the natural logarithm of the ratio of the current price to the previous price. Log returns are considered more stable and less sensitive to extreme price fluctuations.
Percentage Changes: These are calculated as the percentage difference between the current price and the previous price. They are simpler to interpret and easier to understand for most traders.
Section 2: Understanding Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation
The Probability Envelopes Indicator utilizes various statistical measures to analyze historical price movements:
Mean: This is the average of a set of numbers. In the context of this indicator, it represents the average price movement for bullish (green) and bearish (red) scenarios.
Variance: This measure represents the dispersion of data points in a dataset. A higher variance indicates a greater spread of data points from the mean. Variance is calculated as the average of the squared differences from the mean.
Standard Deviation: This is the square root of the variance. It is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a dataset. In the context of this indicator, standard deviations are used to calculate the width of the bands around the expected mean.
Section 3: Analyzing Historical Price Movements and Probabilities
The Probability Envelopes Indicator examines historical price movements and calculates probabilities based on their frequency:
The indicator first identifies and categorizes price movements into bullish (green) and bearish (red) scenarios.
It then calculates the probability of each price movement occurring by dividing the frequency of the movement by the total number of occurrences in each category (bullish or bearish).
The expected green and red movements are calculated by multiplying the probabilities by their respective price movements and summing the results.
The total expected movement, or weighted average, is calculated by combining the expected green and red movements and dividing by the total number of occurrences.
Section 4: Constructing the Probability Envelopes
The Probability Envelopes Indicator utilizes the calculated statistics to construct its bands:
The expected mean is calculated using the total expected movement and applied to the current open price.
An exponential moving average (EMA) is used to smooth the expected mean, with the smoothing length determining the degree of responsiveness.
The upper and lower bands are calculated by adding and subtracting the mean green and red movements, respectively, along with their standard deviations multiplied by a user-defined multiplier.
Section 5: Benefits of the Probability Envelopes Indicator
The Probability Envelopes Indicator offers numerous advantages to traders:
Enhanced Decision-Making: By providing probability-based estimations of future price levels, the indicator can help traders make more informed decisions and potentially improve their trading strategies.
Versatility: The indicator is applicable to various financial instruments, such as stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, making it a valuable tool for traders in different markets.
Customization: The indicator's parameters, including the use of log returns, multiplier values, and smoothing length, can be adjusted according to the user's preferences and trading style. This flexibility allows traders to fine-tune the Probability Envelopes Indicator to better suit their needs and goals.
Risk Management: The Probability Envelopes Indicator can be used as a component of a risk management strategy by providing insight into potential price movements. By identifying potential areas of support and resistance, traders can set stop-loss and take-profit levels more effectively.
Visualization: The graphical representation of the indicator, with its clear upper and lower bands, makes it easy for traders to quickly assess the market and potential price levels.
Section 6: Integrating the Probability Envelopes Indicator into Your Trading Strategy
When incorporating the Probability Envelopes Indicator into your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Confirmation Signals: Use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, moving averages, or oscillators, to confirm the strength and direction of the market trend.
Timeframes: Experiment with different timeframes to find the optimal settings for your trading strategy. Keep in mind that shorter timeframes may generate more frequent signals but may also increase the likelihood of false signals.
Risk Management: Always establish a proper risk management strategy that includes setting stop-loss and take-profit levels, as well as managing your position sizes.
Backtesting: Test the Probability Envelopes Indicator on historical data to evaluate its effectiveness and fine-tune its parameters to optimize your trading strategy.
Section 7: Cons and Limitations of the Probability Envelopes Indicator
While the Probability Envelopes Indicator offers several advantages to traders, it is essential to be aware of its potential cons and limitations. Understanding these can help you make better-informed decisions when incorporating the indicator into your trading strategy.
Lagging Nature: The Probability Envelopes Indicator is primarily based on historical data and price movements. As a result, it may be less responsive to real-time changes in market conditions, and the predicted price levels may not always accurately reflect the market's current state. This lagging nature can lead to late entry and exit signals.
False Signals: As with any technical analysis tool, the Probability Envelopes Indicator can generate false signals. These occur when the indicator suggests a potential price movement, but the market does not follow through. It is crucial to use other technical analysis tools to confirm the signals and minimize the impact of false signals on your trading decisions.
Complex Statistical Concepts: The Probability Envelopes Indicator relies on complex statistical concepts and calculations, which may be challenging to grasp for some traders, particularly beginners. This complexity can lead to misunderstandings and misuse of the indicator if not adequately understood.
Overemphasis on Past Data: While historical data can be informative, relying too heavily on past performance to predict future movements can be limiting. Market conditions can change rapidly, and relying solely on past data may not provide an accurate representation of the current market environment.
No Guarantees: The Probability Envelopes Indicator, like all technical analysis tools, cannot guarantee success. It is essential to approach trading with realistic expectations and understand that no indicator or strategy can provide foolproof results.
To overcome these limitations, it is crucial to combine the Probability Envelopes Indicator with other technical analysis tools and utilize a comprehensive risk management strategy.

Normalized KAMA Oscillator | Ikke OmarThis indicator demonstrates the creation of a normalized KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average) oscillator with a table display. I will explain how the code works, providing a step-by-step breakdown. This is personally made by me:)
Input Parameters:
fast_period and slow_period: Define the periods for calculating the KAMA.
er_period: Specifies the period for calculating the Efficiency Ratio.
norm_period: Determines the lookback period for normalizing the oscillator.
Efficiency Ratio (ER) Calculation:
Measures the efficiency of price changes over a specified period.
Calculated as the ratio of the absolute price change to the total price volatility.
Smoothing Constant Calculation:
Determines the smoothing constant (sc) based on the Efficiency Ratio (ER) and the fast and slow periods.
The formula accounts for the different periods to calculate an appropriate smoothing factor.
KAMA Calculation:
Uses the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the smoothing constant to compute the KAMA.
Combines the fast EMA and the adjusted price change to adapt to market conditions.
Oscillator Normalization:
Normalizes the oscillator values to a range between -0.5 and 0.5 for better visualization and comparison.
Determines the highest and lowest values of the KAMA within the specified normalization period.
Transforms the KAMA values into a normalized range.
By incorporating the Efficiency Ratio, smoothing constant, and normalization techniques, the indicator actually allows for the identification of trends on different timeframes, even in extreme market conditions.
The normalization makes it much more adaptive than if you were to just use a normal KAMA line. This way you actually get a lot more data by looking at the histogram, rather than just the KAMA line.
I essentially made the KAMA into an oscillator! Please ask if you want me to code another indicator
I hope you enjoyed this.

Zero Lag Moving Average with Gaussian weightsIntroduction
The Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) is a powerful technical indicator that aims to eliminate the lag inherent in traditional moving averages. This post provides a comprehensive exploration of the ZLMA with Gaussian Weights (GWMA) indicator, discussing the concepts, the calculations, and its application in trading.
Concepts
Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA): A ZLMA is an advanced moving average designed to reduce the lag in price movements associated with conventional moving averages. This reduction in lag enables traders to make more informed decisions based on the most recent price data.
Gaussian Weights: Gaussian weights are derived from the Gaussian function, which is a mathematical function used to calculate probabilities in a normal distribution. The Gaussian function is smooth, symmetric, and has a bell-shaped curve. In this context, Gaussian weights are used to calculate the weighted average of a series of data points.
Why Gaussian Weights are Beneficial
Gaussian Weights offer several advantages in comparison to traditional moving averages. One of the main reasons for using Gaussian Weights is to address the issue of lag, which is commonly associated with simple and exponential moving averages. By reducing lag, traders can make more informed decisions based on up-to-date information.
Another advantage of Gaussian Weights is their mathematical foundation, which is rooted in the Gaussian function. This function describes the normal distribution in probability theory and statistics. The smooth and symmetric bell-shaped curve of Gaussian Weights enables a more refined approach to handling data points, resulting in a more responsive and accurate moving average.
While exponential moving averages (EMAs) also assign more weight to recent data points, they can still exhibit some lag. Gaussian Weights, on the other hand, offer a smoother and more adaptive solution to different market conditions. By adjusting the smoothing period, traders can tailor the Gaussian Weights to their specific needs, making them a versatile tool for various trading strategies.
In summary, Gaussian Weights provide a valuable alternative to traditional moving averages due to their ability to reduce lag, their strong mathematical foundation, and their adaptability to different market conditions. These benefits make Gaussian Weights a worthwhile consideration for traders looking to enhance their trading strategies.
Calculations
The ZLMA with GWMA consists of two main calculations:
Gaussian Weight Calculation: The Gaussian weight for a given 'k' and 'smooth_per' is calculated using the standard deviation (sigma) and the exponent part of the Gaussian function.
Zero-Lag GWMA Calculation: The zero-lag GWMA is calculated using a source buffer, a Gaussian weighted moving average (gwma1), and an output array. The source buffer stores the input data, the gwma1 array stores the first Gaussian weighted moving average, and the output array stores the final zero-lag moving average.
Application in Trading
The ZLMA with GWMA indicator can be used to identify trends and potential entry/exit points in trading:
Trend Identification: When the ZLMA is above the price, it indicates a bearish trend, and when it is below the price, it indicates a bullish trend.
Entry/Exit Points: Traders can use crossovers between the ZLMA and price to identify potential entry and exit points. A long position could be taken when the price crosses above the ZLMA, and a short position could be taken when the price crosses below the ZLMA.
Conclusion
The Zero Lag Moving Average with Gaussian Weights is a powerful and versatile indicator that can be used in various trading strategies. By minimizing the lag associated with traditional moving averages, the ZLMA with GWMA provides traders with more accurate and timely information about price trends and potential trade opportunities.

Log Distance From MA + RibbonTaken inspiration from @dkncrypto from his "Percentage Distance from MA" indicator.
I did a couple of very simple modifications.
I added exotic calculations so that it works properly in charts that reach the zero value (like the yield curve).
I also added a ribbon. It is now clearer when price is under resistance when compared to the deviation of it's trend.
The standard price ribbon describes support/resistance levels based on absolute vertical price distance.
The ribbon on the indicator I built describes support/resistance levels based around the trend of the price.
One could couple it with the KST-Based MACD indicator I built.
In my future analyses, I will consider skipping the standard price ribbon and consult the Distance-From-MA ribbon.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

The Concept Behind PPMA Indicator
The Volume-Weighted Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA) Indicator is a straightforward technical analysis tool that aims to help traders identify potential market turning points and trends. It does this by calculating a moving average based on price and volume data while considering pivot highs and pivot lows. The PPMA Indicator is designed to be more responsive than traditional moving averages by incorporating volume into its calculations.
Understanding the Script
The script is compatible with version 5 of the TradingView Pine Script language, and it features an overlay setting, allowing the indicator to be plotted directly onto the price chart. The customizable pivot left input enables traders to adjust the sensitivity of the pivot points.
The script first identifies pivot points, which are areas where the price changes direction. It then calculates the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of each trading period between the pivot points. Finally, it plots the PPMA line on the chart, providing a visual representation of the volume-weighted average prices.
Using the PPMA Indicator
To use the PPMA Indicator, simply add the script to your TradingView chart. The indicator will plot the PPMA line directly onto the price chart. You can adjust the pivot left input to modify the sensitivity of the pivot points, depending on your preferred trading style.
When the PPMA line is trending upward, it may indicate a potential bullish trend. Conversely, a downward-trending PPMA line could suggest a bearish trend. The PPMA Indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm potential trend changes and to establish entry or exit points for trades.
Conclusion
While the Volume-Weighted Pivot Point Moving Average (PPMA) Indicator may not be a game-changer, it is a modest yet helpful tool for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis. By incorporating volume into its calculations, the PPMA Indicator aims to provide more responsive signals compared to traditional moving averages. As with any trading tool, it is crucial to conduct your own analysis and combine multiple indicators before making any trading decisions.
Simple Moving Average Slope [AstrideUnicorn]The Simple Moving Average Slope indicator (SMAS) is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders detect the direction and strength of the current trend in the price of an asset. It is also a great tool for identifying sideways markets. The indicator plots the slope of a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a specified time period. The slope is normalized by dividing it by the standard deviation of the slope over a longer time period.
HOW TO USE
Traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in various ways. One common way is to look for bullish or bearish signals. A bullish signal occurs when the normalized slope rises above a predetermined threshold, resulting in the indicator turning green, indicating an upward trend in the market. Conversely, a bearish signal is generated when the normalized slope falls below the negative value of the threshold, causing the indicator to turn red, signaling a downtrend in the market. When the normalized slope falls between the positive and negative threshold values, a neutral signal is generated, indicating that the market is moving sideways. This can help traders avoid false trend signals from other indicators and strategies that may occur when the market is in a sideways regime. Additionally, traders can use the Simple Moving Average Slope indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm the trend direction.
SETTINGS
Window - specifies the number of bars used to calculate the SMA slope. The default value is 20.
Threshold - specifies the threshold value used to generate the bullish and bearish signals. The default value is 0.6. Traders can adjust these settings based on their trading strategy and the asset being analyzed.
Aggregate Medians [wbburgin]This indicator recursively finds the average of all high/low medians under your chosen length. This can be very, very helpful for analyzing trends where a moving average or a normal median would produce a bunch of false signals.
Settings:
The "Length" setting is the maximum median that you want the algorithm to add into the sum. The "Start at Period" setting is the the minimum median that you want the algorithm to take into account. Starting at a higher period means that the faster, more sensitive medians of lower lengths are not included, and will smooth out your curve.
I haven't seen many recursive algorithms on TradingView so feel free to use this script as inspiration for any of your ideas. In theory, you can essentially replace the median function with any other function - a moving average, a supertrend, or anything else.
The start must be lower than the length, because this is a sum from the start to the length of all medians in between.
EMA + ATR Support and Resistance + Take Profit SignalThe 'EMA+ ATR Support Resistance Take Profit signal' indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Average True Range (ATR) indicators. This indicator not only tracks the EMA and ATR but also plots these levels as support and resistance lines, providing useful insights into potential buy and sell points.
The indicator allows you to set the lengths for both the EMA and ATR, with default values set to 20 and 14, respectively. Moreover, you can specify the multiplier for the ATR in the Support/Resistance (S/R) length setting, which defaults to 2. The line width for the plotted lines can also be adjusted according to your preference.
The EMA line in center is invisible by default but you can change that by going to the setting of the indicator. The support and resistance lines are plotted in green and red, respectively. When the price hits the support or resistance levels, the indicator provides a visual signal with a cross shape below or above the respective bars, in lime and red, respectively. If you do not need the take profit signals you can disable them in the setting.
How to Use:
1. Define the EMA and ATR lengths according to your trading strategy. Higher lengths will provide smoother lines but may also lag the current price action.
2. Set the S/R length to determine the distance of the support and resistance lines from the EMA line. Higher values will place these lines further away from the EMA.
3. Monitor the chart for instances when the price hits the support or resistance levels. This is indicated by a cross shape below (for support hit) or above (for resistance hit) the price bar. These points may be considered as potential take profit points or entry/exit points, depending on your strategy.
4. Use the indicator in conjunction with other tools and indicators to confirm signals and reduce the risk of false signals. So the assumption is you enter a trade using your other indicators but you can rely on this indicator to remind you to take profit if you are long by a red cross of the resistance line and if you are short reminds you by a green cross on the support line.
Disclaimer: This indicator should not be used as the sole determinant for any investment decision. Always conduct thorough research and consider multiple factors before trading.
Display Trade Volume with MA Angle and Price VelocityThis Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a visual representation of trade volume, moving average (MA) angle, and price velocity on a chart. The primary components of this indicator are:
Trade Volume: The indicator compares the current bar's trade volume with the average volume over a user-defined lookback period. The volume is displayed as either "Low" or "Trade" in a table, with red or green background color, respectively, to indicate whether it's below or above the average volume.
MA Angle: The indicator calculates the angle of the moving average (either Simple, Exponential, or Hull) over a user-defined length. A positive angle is shown in green, while a negative angle is shown in red. The angle is displayed in degrees in the table.
Price Velocity: This component calculates the velocity of price movement by comparing the difference between high and low prices over a user-defined lookback period. It then displays the velocity as either "Slow" or "Fast" in the table, with red or green background color, respectively, depending on whether it's below or above the average difference.
The indicator also includes alert conditions for high and low volume situations, notifying the trader when the current bar's volume is significantly higher or lower than the average volume.
User Defined Momentum Change with Swing VisualsThis script is a groundbreaking, math-centric technical analysis tool that blends two well-established indicators, the Stochastic Oscillator and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), to deliver a unique and visually engaging way of identifying momentum swings and stochastic indicators. Unlike mashups, this script is tailored to accommodate a wide range of trading strategies, providing traders with a distinctive perspective on market trends.
The innovation in this script lies in its mathematically-driven ability to effectively combine the Stochastic Oscillator and EMA, setting it apart from other available tools that simply offer a rehash of old ideas or slight modifications to popular indicators. The EMA is employed instead of a Simple Moving Average (SMA), enhancing the uniqueness of the calculations. This novel approach creates a new dimension for traders to evaluate potential momentum swings and visualize them on the chart, proving it to be more than just a mere mashup of existing indicators.
Central to the script's utility is its extensive customization options, which allow traders to adjust various inputs to suit their preferences and trading strategies. Users can modify the EMA length, swing range signal offsets, and smoothing factors for both the fast and slow components of the Stochastic Oscillator. Additionally, the script offers the ability to personalize the color thresholds, transparency, and line properties for the Stochastic Oscillator and swing range signal.
This script's visually dynamic representation of momentum swings empowers traders to make more informed trading decisions, particularly on the 6-hour timeframe. The swing range signal, represented by vertical lines on the chart, acts as a valuable visual aid for identifying potential entry or exit points. Furthermore, the Stochastic Oscillator provides insights into the strength and direction of momentum, which is beneficial for confirming potential trade signals.
To conclude, this script is not just another combination of MAs or a slightly modified version of a popular indicator. Instead, it offers traders a comprehensive, visually appealing, and customizable tool for technical analysis, which is both original and useful. By uniquely combining the EMA and the Stochastic Oscillator with a strong mathematical foundation, and allowing traders to adjust a variety of settings, this script adds value to the TradingView community and enhances the body of knowledge available for traders. It is designed to support traders in tailoring their analysis based on their own strategies and preferences, enabling them to make well-informed decisions in the financial markets.
Momentum-Adjusted Volatility Ratio (MAVR)The Momentum-Adjusted Volatility Ratio (MAVR) indicator is designed to help you understand the strength of price movements relative to the market's volatility. It combines the concepts of rate of change (ROC) and average true range (ATR) and then calculates their ratio, which is then smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA). Here's a general guide on how to use the MAVR indicator:
Identify the trend: Look for the overall direction of the EMA of the MAVR. When the EMA is above the zero line, it indicates that the momentum is positive and the trend is generally bullish. Conversely, when the EMA is below the zero line, it indicates that the momentum is negative, and the trend is generally bearish.
Assess momentum strength: Pay attention to the distance between the EMA of the MAVR and the zero line. A larger distance indicates a stronger momentum, while a smaller distance suggests weaker momentum. If the EMA of the MAVR moves further away from the zero line, it indicates that the price movement is becoming more robust relative to the market's volatility.
Look for potential entry and exit signals: When the EMA of the MAVR crosses the zero line, it could provide a potential trading signal. For instance, a cross from below to above the zero line may indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a cross from above to below the zero line may signal a potential selling opportunity. Keep in mind that the MAVR indicator should not be used in isolation, and it's essential to combine it with other technical analysis tools and risk management techniques.
Monitor for divergences: Sometimes, the price and the EMA of the MAVR can show divergences. For example, if the price makes a higher high while the EMA of the MAVR makes a lower high, it could signal a bearish divergence, suggesting a potential trend reversal. Similarly, if the price makes a lower low while the EMA of the MAVR makes a higher low, it could indicate a bullish divergence, suggesting a possible trend reversal.
Remember that no indicator is perfect, and the MAVR should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and a solid trading strategy to increase the chances of success. Always use proper risk management techniques to protect your capital.
ATR Adaptive EMA (AEMA)In the world of trading, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the ever-changing market conditions. One of the key aspects of successful trading is using the right tools to analyze and predict market trends. Traditional moving averages, such as the exponential moving average (EMA), have been a staple of technical analysis for decades. However, the limitations of fixed EMA lengths have prompted traders to look for more adaptable and dynamic alternatives. This is where our innovative Adaptive EMA Length Indicator, based on ATR, comes into play.
An Overview of the Adaptive EMA Length Indicator
Our Adaptive EMA Length Indicator is a powerful and versatile tool that utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically determine the ideal EMA length based on current market conditions. This unique approach offers traders an edge by providing a more accurate representation of market trends, enabling them to make more informed trading decisions.
Key Features of the Adaptive EMA Length Indicator
Utilizing ATR for Enhanced Volatility Analysis: The Average True Range (ATR) is a well-established measure of market volatility. By incorporating ATR in our indicator, we ensure a more accurate representation of market conditions, allowing traders to better adapt their strategies to the prevailing volatility levels.
Customizable Parameters: Our Adaptive EMA Length Indicator allows traders to adjust key parameters, such as minimum and maximum EMA lengths, ATR length, outlier length, and outlier deviation level. This level of customization gives traders the ability to fine-tune the indicator according to their trading style and preferences.
Versatile Application Across Markets: The Adaptive EMA Length Indicator is designed to work with various financial markets, including stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, regardless of their chosen market.
How to Use the Adaptive EMA Length Indicator
Set your preferred parameters: Begin by adjusting the minimum and maximum EMA lengths, ATR length, outlier length, and outlier deviation level to fit your trading style.
Apply the indicator to your chosen market: Add the Adaptive EMA Length Indicator to your chart and observe the dynamic EMA line adjusting based on current market conditions.
Use the dynamic EMA for trade entry and exit points: Monitor the EMA line in relation to the price action. When the price crosses the EMA line from below, consider it a potential buy signal. Conversely, when the price crosses the EMA line from above, it could indicate a sell signal. However, it's crucial to consider other technical analysis tools and market factors before making any trading decisions.
Continuously assess and adjust: As with any trading strategy, it's essential to keep monitoring market conditions and adjusting your parameters accordingly. Stay vigilant and be prepared to adapt your strategy as needed.
Our Adaptive EMA Length Indicator, based on ATR, offers a revolutionary approach to determining the ideal EMA length. By providing a more accurate representation of market trends, this innovative tool empowers traders to make better-informed decisions and stay ahead of the market. Try it out for yourself and see why it's a game-changer for traders seeking adaptable, dynamic, and effective trading strategies.
EMA bridge and dashboard with color coding.
Summary:
This is a custom moving average indicator script that calculates and plots different Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on user-defined input values. The script also displays MACD and RSI, and provides a table that displays the current trend of the market in a color-coded format.
Explanation:
- The script starts by defining the name of the indicator and the different inputs that the user can customize.
- The inputs include bridge values for three different EMAs (high, close, and low), and four other EMAs (5, 50, 100, and 200).
- The script assigns values to these inputs using the `ta.ema()` function.
- Additionally, the script calculates EMAs for higher timeframes (3m, 5m, 15m, and 30m).
- The script then plots the EMAs on the chart using different colors and line widths.
- The script defines conditions for going long or short based on the crossover of two EMAs.
- It plots triangles above or below bars to indicate the crossover events.
- The script also calculates and displays the RSI and MACD of the asset.
- Finally, the script creates a table that displays the current trend of the market in a color-coded format. The table can be positioned on the top, middle, or bottom of the chart and on the left, center, or right side of the chart.
Parameters:
- i_ema_h: Bridge value for high EMA (default=34)
- i_ema_c: Bridge value for close EMA (default=34)
- i_ema_l: Bridge value for low EMA (default=34)
- i_ema_5: Value for 5-period EMA (default=5)
- i_ema_50: Value for 50-period EMA (default=50)
- i_ema_100: Value for 100-period EMA (default=100)
- i_ema_200: Value for 200-period EMA (default=200)
- i_f_ema: Value for fast EMA used in MACD calculation (default=9)
- i_s_ema: Value for slow EMA used in MACD calculation (default=21)
- fastInput: Value for fast length used in MACD calculation (default=7)
- slowInput: Value for slow length used in MACD calculation (default=14)
- tableYposInput: Vertical position of the table (options: top, middle, bottom; default=middle)
- tableXposInput: Horizontal position of the table (options: left, center, right; default=right)
- bullColorInput: Color of the table cell for a bullish trend (default=green)
- bearColorInput: Color of the table cell for a bearish trend (default=red)
- neutColorInput: Color of the table cell for a neutral trend (default=white)
- neutColorLabelInput: Color of the label for neutral trend in the table (default=fuchsia)
Usage:
To use this script, simply copy and paste it into the Pine Editor on TradingView. You can then customize the input values to your liking or leave them at their default values. Once you have added the script to your chart, you can view the EMAs, MACD, RSI, and trend table on the chart. The trend table provides a quick way to assess the current trend of the market at a glance.
