AFRHi everyone! Sorry for not posting anything for so long again. I will be active in July, after passing my university exams. I bought some S&C magazine archives, so await my new post strategies and indicator in July, as things are gonna get real interesting! But for now let me hand you some new and interesting stuff — AFR indicator.
Actually, this is my third time republishing this indicator after a big timeout because of the battles with TV mods on reference politics (which I lost).
This is indicator was originaly made by some user from other trading website, which I can't mention because of TV reference politics.
Which principles are behind AFR?
First we define our own low and high (OL and OH respectively), which are equal to:
OL = open - ATR * ATR_Factor
OH = open + ATR * ATR_Factor,
where ATR — Average True Range,
ATR_Factor — "Factor" in the settings — multiplier for ATR.
On each tick we remember AFR's value from previous bar, if it is not 0.
When OL is greater then AFR, then AFR is equal to OL. It means that there is probably an uptrend, so we adjust AFR accordingly.
When OH is lower then AFR, then AFR is equal to OH. It means that there is probably a downtrend, so we adjust AFR accordingly.
How to use?
Green AFR — bullish trend.
Red AFR — bearish trend.
Green AFR's triangle up — buy signal — appears when AFR changes it's colour from red to green.
Red AFR's triangle down— sell signal — appears when AFR changes it's colour from green to red.
ALERTS INCLUDED!
My personal ecommendations
- You can AFR as a tool to find short-term and middle-term trends, as it does it's best to find such trends;
- If are a scalper, then you probably should try AFR on low factor settings, as AFR alone can find good scalping entries.
- As AFR is a trend indicator, please use it with other confirmation indicator to make better entries.
Hope you will find this script useful.
Take your profits!

Moving Averages
Ultimate Customizable EMA/SMAI know, not another EMA indicator, but I promise, I will make it worth your while!
About this indicator:
This is an EMA indicator, plain and simple. But its ultimate! And its ultimate in the sense that I have made it vastly customizable.
I made this indicator as a boring, single line indicator that would allow me to toggle to whichever EMA / SMA I wanted on whatever timeframe I wanted, because with the currently available EMAs and SMAs (and there are tons of them), I could never seem to get one with the precise settings I wanted.
Then I realized, if I struggled with this, chances are other people may be struggling with this. And also chances are not everyone is great with coding things quickly and it may be out of reach for those to code something specific to their individual needs and desires.
So this indicator is meant for those who, like me, may have very specific tastes for their EMA indicator and want to be able to tailor it right down to a T of what they want, but maybe don't have the skills to code things specifically the way they would like it.
So what can I do with it?
Well, you can do really whatever you want. I have made absolutely everything possible customizable, right down to the size of the plotted line (you can adjust the width of the line to make it more or less visible). But let me give you a list of the functions permitted for this indicator:
1. Toggle between an EMA or SMA: The indicator will default to show the EMA. However, you can toggle between an EMA or SMA, depending on your preference.
2. Add 2 EMA's or SMAs: The indicator permits up to 2 EMA's to be added. Both of which can be either EMA or SMA and operate independently (you can have one as EMA and the other as SMA, both as SMA or whatever combination thereof).
3. Specify your timeframes: Each EMA/SMA can have an individual timeframe. If you want to plot 2, 200 EMA's on your chart, 1 on the 5 minute chart and the other on the 1 Day chart, you can do it! The indicator will permit you to individually select which timeframe you want for both of the available EMAs/SMAs. They can both be on separate timeframes.
4. Specify your sources: In addition to both being able to be on separate timeframes, both can also be on separate sources. You can have the 200 EMA of the close price as well as the 200 EMA of the high or low price. The indicator will permit you to specify your preferred sources.
5. Plot Standard Deviation bands: You can plot the standard deviation bands of the primary EMA/SMA (this is only available on the primary EMA/SMA and not both). You can also specify the length of the standard deviation bands that can operate independently of the primary EMA/SMA. So if you have the 50 EMA but want the 200 standard deviation bands, you can do so and specify this in the data inputs.
6. Customize your alerts: The indicator provides 6 pre-programmed condition alerts that are applied to both the primary, secondary and both EMAs. This way, you can customize various alerts based on various conditions you want to look for.
7. Plot crossover / crossunder arrows: The indicator will allow you to request it to plot triangles to signal crossovers and crossunders. This can be toggled on and off based on your visual preference.
8. Provides demographic information: The EMA will provide basic demographic information about the stock's behaviour around the EMA/SMA. This is displayed in a table at the top right of the chart. It will tell you the number of touches a stock has with its various EMA/SMAs, how many closes it has had above or below the EMA/SMA (for example, a bullish ticker should have more closes above an EMA than below it and inverse for bearish), how many times the close price has crossed over or crossed under the two EMA/SMAs and how many time the EMA/SMAs have crossed over and crossed under each other. This all gives an idea of the relative strength and sentiment of a stock in a quantitative way. The length of the lookback period is customizable individually for each EMA/SMA. If you want to look back 100, 200, 500 or just 75 candles, you can specify. You can also toggle on and off each or both tables as you desire.
Final thoughts:
The indicator was meant to tailor to my general need to toggle between very specific EMAs and SMAs to gauge averages. I generally will look at various EMAs and SMAs to calculate various things and I never specifically rely on a single EMA and SMA. Its annoying having to switch between multiple indicators and I always ended up opening pinescript and coding in what exactly I wanted to look at. This was meant to stop me from having to constantly code something specifically each time I wanted very specific information and I felt like I should share it with the community, as if I find it helpful and useful, I hope others will, too!
Hopefully you find it helpful and useful and as always leave your suggestions below!
TrendingNowTrendingNow Indicator - An Experimental Study
Introduction:
The TrendingNow indicator is an experimental study designed to identify trending market conditions and potential trading opportunities. It combines various technical analysis tools and parameters to provide insights into trend direction, momentum, volume, and price reversals.
Methodology:
The TrendingNow indicator is calculated based on the following parameters and calculations:
Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) is calculated using the specified length parameter. It helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall trend direction.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper and lower bands are derived from the moving average by adding and subtracting a deviation calculated using the multiplier parameter. These bands provide dynamic levels for potential trend reversals.
Price Reversals: The indicator detects price reversals by identifying when the price crosses above or below the upper or lower bands. These reversals suggest potential entry or exit points in the market.
Trend Confirmation: The indicator uses a moving average of the closing prices over the confirmation length parameter to confirm the overall trend direction. It helps filter out false signals and validates the presence of a trend.
Momentum Oscillator: The indicator calculates the relative strength index (RSI) over the momentum length parameter. The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, indicating potential overbought and oversold conditions.
Volume Trend Confirmation: The study compares the current volume with the average volume over the specified length. If the current volume is above the volume threshold, it suggests increasing volume activity and potential confirmation of the trend.
Volatility Filter: The indicator incorporates an average true range (ATR) calculation to assess market volatility. The volatility threshold is derived by multiplying the ATR by the volatility multiplier parameter. It helps filter out signals during periods of low volatility.
Experimental Study:
The TrendingNow indicator aims to experiment with the combination of these technical analysis tools to identify trending market conditions and potential trading opportunities. By monitoring the price reversals, trend confirmation, momentum, volume trends, and volatility, traders can potentially identify high-probability trade setups.
The study involves observing the indicator's signals and assessing their effectiveness in different market conditions. Traders can experiment with different parameter values, timeframes, and asset classes to optimize the indicator's performance.
Usage and Interpretation:
When using the TrendingNow indicator, traders can consider the following guidelines:
Trend Identification: A bullish trend is indicated when the price is above the upper band, the moving average is rising, and the trend confirmation is positive. A bearish trend is indicated when the price is below the lower band, the moving average is declining, and the trend confirmation is negative.
Price Reversals: Price crossing above the upper band may suggest a potential selling opportunity, while price crossing below the lower band may indicate a potential buying opportunity. These reversals should be confirmed by other indicators and market conditions.
Momentum and Volume Confirmation: Traders can pay attention to the RSI levels to assess overbought and oversold conditions. High volume activity in line with the trend can provide additional confirmation.
Volatility Consideration: Traders may choose to adjust the volatility multiplier parameter based on the current market conditions. Higher values may be more suitable during periods of higher volatility, while lower values may be preferred during low volatility.
Conclusion:
The TrendingNow indicator offers an experimental approach to identifying trending market conditions and potential trading opportunities. Traders can customize the indicator parameters and combine it with other analysis techniques to suit their trading strategies. It is important to conduct thorough testing and validation before incorporating the indicator into live trading.

9 ema cross Buy SignalThis script defines a custom indicator called "Buy Signal Indicator." It calculates the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) using the ema() function. Then, it checks if the current candle closes above the 9 EMA and the preceding candle also closed above it with higher highs and higher lows. If these conditions are met, a green "BUY" label will be displayed below the candle. The 9 EMA line is also plotted on the chart for reference.

Scalp Tool
This script is primarily intended as a scalping tool.
The theory of the tool is based on the fact that the price always returns to its mean.
Elements used:
1. VWMA as a moving average. VWMA is calculated once based on source close and once based on source open.
2. the bands are not calculated like the Bollinger Band, but only a settlement is calculated for the lower bands based on the Lows and for the upper bands based on the Highs. Thus the bands do not become thicker or thinner, but remain in the same measure to the mean value above or below the price.
3. a volume filter on simple calculation of a MA with deviation. Therefore, it can be identified if a volume breakout has occurred.
4. support and resistance zones which are calculated based on the highs and lows over a certain length.
5. RSI to determine oversold and overbought zones. It also tries to capture the momentum by using a moving average (variable selectable) to filter the signals. The theory is that in an uptrend the RSI does not go below 50 and in a downtrend it does not go above 50.
However, this can be very different depending on the financial instrument.
Explanation of the signals:
The main signal in this indicator Serves for pure short-term trading and is generated purely on the basis of the bands and the RSI.
Only the first bands are taken into account.
Buy signal is generated when the price opens below the lower band 1 and closes above the lower band 1 or the RSI crosses a value of 25 from bottom to top.
Sell signal is generated when the price opens above the Upper Band 1 and closes below the Upper Band 1 or the RSI crosses a value of 75 from top to bottom.
The position should be closed when the price hits the opposite band. Alternatively, it can also be closed at the mean.
Other side signals:
1. breakouts:
The indicator includes 2 support and resistance zones, which differ only in length. For the breakout signals, the short version of the R/S is used. A signal is generated when the price breaks through the zones with increased volume. It is then assumed that the price will continue to follow the breakout.
The values of the S/R are adjustable and marked with "BK".
The value under Threshold 2 defines the volume breakout. 4 is considered as the highest value. The smaller the value, the smaller the volume must be during a breakout.
2. bounce
If the price hits a S/R (here the long variant is used with the designation "Support" or "Resistance") and makes a wick with small volume, the script assumes a bounce and generates a Sell or Buy signal accordingly.
The volume can be defined under "Threshold".
The S/R according to the designation as well.
Combined signals:
If the value of the S/R BK and the S/R is the same and the bounce logic of the S/R BK applies and an RSI signal is also generated, a signal is also plotted.
Here the idea was to get very strong signals for possible swing entries.
4. RSI Signals
The script contains two RSI.
RSI 1:
Bullish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the bottom to the top.
Bearish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the top to the bottom.
RSI 2:
Bullish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from the top to the bottom.
Bearish signal is generated when the set value is crossed from bottom to top.
For RSI 2 the theory is taken into account according to the description under Used elements point 5
Optical trend filter:
Also an optical trend filter was generated which fills the bands accordingly.
For this the VWMA is used and the two average values of the band.
Color definition:
Gray = Neutral
Red = Bearish
Green = Bullish
If the mean value is above the VWMA and the mean value based on the closing price is above the mean value based on the open price, the band is colored green. It is a bullish trend
If the mean value is below the VWMA and the mean value based on the closing price is below the mean value based on the open price, the band is colored red.
The band is colored gray if the mean value is correspondingly opposite. A sideways phase is assumed.
The script was developed on the basis of the pair BTCUSD in the 15 minute chart and the settings were defined accordingly on it. The display of S/R for forex pairs does not work correctly and should be hidden. The logic works anyway.
When using the script, all options should first be set accordingly to the asset and tested before trading afterwards. It applies of course also here that there is no 100% guarantee.
Also, a strong breakout leads to false signals and overheating of the indicator.
Relative Strength, not RSIThe Smoothed Relative Strength Indicator (not RSI) with Multi-Timeframe Support is a custom indicator that combines the concepts of Relative Strength (not RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to create a smoothed trend-following tool. It works on any timeframe and adapts to different market conditions.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe support: [ The script uses the request.security function to fetch data from other timeframes, allowing users to analyze the trend on different timeframes simultaneously.
Relative Strength calculation: The script calculates the Relative Strength (not RSI) by averaging the gains and losses over a user-defined period (len).
Money Flow Index calculation: The script calculates the Money Flow Index (MFI) by considering both price and volume data. The MFI is an oscillator that ranges between 0 and 100, and it helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Combination of Relative Strength and MFI:The indicator calculates the average of Relative Strength and MFI values to create the Trend Reversal Strength (TRS) line.
Smoothing the TRS line: The TRS line is smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a user-defined smoothing length (smoothLen). This helps to reduce noise and make the trend more readable.
Trend color determination: The script determines the trend color based on the slope of the smoothed TRS line. If the current value of the smoothed TRS line is higher than the previous one, the line is colored green (uptrend). If the current value is lower than the previous one, the line is colored red (downtrend).
Visual representation of trend changes: The indicator plots small circles at points where the trend color changes, making it easier to identify potential trend reversal points.
Zero line: The script draws a horizontal line at the zero level to help users gauge the market's strength or weakness relative to this level.
Usage:
This indicator can be used as a trend-following tool to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. When the smoothed TRS line is green and rising, it suggests a bullish trend, and traders may consider entering long positions. Conversely, when the smoothed TRS line is red and falling, it indicates a bearish trend, and traders may consider short positions or exiting long trades.
Please note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management techniques to improve the accuracy of your trading decisions.
Trend hunter strategy - buy & sellThe indicator combines multiple technical indicators and conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
Here's how the indicator works and how to use it:
Strategy Selection:
The indicator provides a dropdown menu to choose the type of strategy. The available options are "Pullback" and "Simple."
Supertrend Settings:
The Supertrend indicator is used to identify the trend direction.
The indicator takes two input parameters:
ATR Length: Specifies the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 10.
Factor: Specifies the factor used in the Supertrend calculation. The default value is 3.0.
EMA Settings:
The indicator also includes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) condition.
You can enable or disable the EMA condition using the "Ema Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates an EMA based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the EMA using the "Ema Length" input parameter. The default value is 200.
RSI Settings:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is used to generate additional conditions.
You can enable or disable the RSI condition using the "Rsi Condition On/Off" checkbox.
If enabled, the indicator calculates the RSI based on the close price.
You can specify the length of the RSI using the "Rsi Length" input parameter. The default value is 14.
Additionally, you can set the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI using the "RSI BUY Level" and "RSI SELL Level" input parameters, respectively. The default value for both is 50.
Final Conditions:
The indicator combines the Supertrend, EMA, and RSI conditions to generate buy and sell signals.
The specific conditions depend on the chosen strategy:
For the "Simple" strategy, the buy condition is when the Supertrend is in an up trend, not in a previous long position, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
For the "Pullback" strategy, the buy condition is when there is a cross under of the previous low with the Supertrend, the Supertrend is in an up trend, the RSI is above the overbought level, and the close price is above the EMA.
The sell conditions are the opposite of the respective buy conditions.
Backtest Period:
You can specify the start and end dates for the backtesting using the "Start calculations from" and "End calculations" inputs, respectively. The default start date is "2005-01-01" and the default end date is "2045-03-01." (this is work in progress) Still working on the table part, it is a bit tricky.
Trade Direction:
You can choose the trade direction using the "Trade Direction" input parameter. The available options are "Long," "Short," and "Both."
Depending on the selected trade direction, the indicator will generate signals accordingly.
Visual Display:
The indicator plots the Supertrend line on the price chart.
Buy signals are shown as green labels below the price bars.
Sell signals are shown as red labels above the price bars.
Adjust the input parameters according to your preferences, and then apply the indicator to a chart to see the generated signals. Please note that this indicator should be used for educational purposes only and should be thoroughly tested before using it for real trading.
Planetary Tunings Moving AveragesThe Pine Script "Planetary Tunings Moving Averages" is a unique tool that plots moving averages (MAs) on a chart, representing the wavelengths of different planets as derived from the book Quadrivium. These wavelengths, also referred to as 'planetary tunings', are related to the orbital resonance of each planet.
Each planetary tuning value is first transformed into a whole number by multiplying it by 1000 and removing the decimal. This whole number is then used as the length parameter for a Simple Moving Average (SMA) function. This function calculates the average of the closing prices over the defined number of periods, thereby creating a moving average line on the chart.
The moving average lines are color-coded according to the planet they represent, allowing for quick and easy interpretation. For example, Mercury's moving average line is blue, Venus's line is orange, and so forth. These colors can be adjusted directly in the Pine Script code if desired.
Additionally, the script computes the mean of all these moving averages and plots it on the chart. This line provides an overall trend line, summarizing the collective behavior of all the planetary tuning moving averages.
The drawings in the chart are fib channels and fib circles that I use to capture liquidity in time.
Please note that this script is written for Pine Script Version 4. It's crucial to ensure your TradingView platform is compatible with this version. For any issues or further clarification, consider referring to TradingView's Pine Script documentation or its community forums.
Moving Average Trend Sniper [ChartPrime]Today we introducing the Moving Average Trend Sniper (MATS), a unique and powerful multi faceted tool. This moving average is designed to adapt to the ever-changing market conditions. MATS provides the ideal solution for traders looking to capitalize on market trends while accurately identifying support and resistance levels.
Why MATS?
MATS was developed with the trader in mind, focusing on the key factors crucial for a successful trading strategy - trend following, support, and resistance. Its unique moving average calculation not only accounts for market volatility and momentum but also provides a stable yet adaptable foundation for your trading decisions.
MATS employs a range of mathematical techniques to provide a precise and adaptive moving average, offering traders a more effective tool for analyzing market trends and identifying support and resistance levels. One of the primary distinctions of MATS is its use of delta, the change in market conditions, to update the moving average based on the trend's strength. This delta-based updating allows the moving average to adapt to market fluctuations and helps traders make more informed decisions when entering or exiting positions. MATS also focuses on the highs in a downtrend and the lows in an uptrend to provide more reliable support and resistance. By taking these crucial market points into consideration, the moving average delivers a comprehensive and accurate insight into the market's behavior and allows traders to make more precise predictions.
MATS leverages trigonometry to determine the trend angle for the moving average. By calculating this angle, MATS can efficiently pick the correct source (either the high or the low) to provide the best support and resistance analysis. This innovative use of trigonometry ensures that the moving average is better suited to the current market conditions and provides traders with a dynamic yet stable tool to support their trading decisions.
Settings:
Length: The length input for MATS plays a crucial role in determining how responsive the moving average will be to changes in market conditions. A shorter length setting results in a more reactive moving average that closely follows price movements, whereas a longer length setting generates a smoother, less volatile average. By adjusting the length setting, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of MATS to align with their specific trading strategies and needs.
Glow: MATS offers a customizable and visually engaging display that helps traders effectively identify market trends. The "glow" effect surrounding support and resistance levels, available as an optional feature, enables users to assess these crucial areas more easily.
Example use cases:
In the screenshot below you can see the MATS acting as both a classical support and resistance while the glow and coloring is helped to provide a more classical trend following visualization to a trader. This duel functionality can help in re-entering during market retracements.

3 Fib EMAs To Scalp Them AllThe "3 Fib EMAs To Scalp Them All" was made in order to clear up when we should look for shorts, longs, or walk away. Also it can alert you when a trend starts, or when there is a possible reversal. I use it for scalping/day trading in 5m-1h timeframes.
1. EMAs: By default, the indicator uses Fibonacci numbers (21, 55, 233), but you can change them.
2. Color Changes: The color of the Micro EMA line changes depending on its relation to the Mid and Macro EMAs.
When Micro EMA < Mid < Macro EMA, it turns red, indicating a potential bearish trend - that's when you should look for shorts
When Micro EMA > Mid > Macro EMA, it turns green, indicating a potential bullish trend - that's when you should look for longs
A white Micro EMA is when you need to take some rest, enjoy your coffee, and avoid overtrading.
3. Signals: The indicator provides visual signals in the form of diamonds and crosses and corresponding alert signals.
A red diamond above the bar signals a potential beginning of a downtrend
A red cross above the bar signals the end of the downtrend and can be used as a signal for a possible reversal up/breakout.
A green diamond below the bar signals a potential beginning of a downtrend,
A green cross below the bar signals the end of the uptrend and can be used as a signal for a possible reversal down/breakout.
4. Alerts: For algo traders and people who prefer to stay away from the monitor... there are alerts for every signal.
Friendly note: Don't blindly follow the signals for your long and short entries. The signals only pop up when the EMA cross value gets a confirmation. A smart move would be to wait for a retracement to the EMA line and use momentum indicators like market cipher B to pinpoint those ideal entry points.
EMA with Buy/Sell Signals by lbkindCertainly! Here's a description of the code:
This Pine Script code is designed to plot Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on a chart and generate buy/sell signals based on specific conditions. The code includes a filter to reduce false signals by considering the trend of the EMA 200.
The key components of the code are as follows:
1. Input Variables: The code starts by defining input variables such as the periods for the EMAs (ema200Period, ema50Period, ema13Period), the Average True Range period (atrPeriod), and the chopiness threshold (chopinessThreshold).
2. Calculating EMAs: The EMAs (ema200, ema50, ema13) are calculated using the `ema()` function based on the closing price.
3. Average True Range (ATR): The ATR is calculated using the `atr()` function with the specified period (atrPeriod).
4. Normalized ATR: The normalized ATR is computed by dividing the ATR by the closing price and multiplying by 100. This allows for better comparison across different price levels.
5. EMA 200 Trend Direction: The code determines the trend direction of the EMA 200 by comparing the current value with the previous value. The variables `ema200TrendUp` and `ema200TrendDown` are assigned `true` or `false` values based on the trend direction.
6. Generate Buy/Sell Signals: The buySignal is generated when the following conditions are met:
- There is a crossover of the shorter EMAs (ema13, ema50).
- The EMA 200 is in an uptrend (`ema200TrendUp` is true).
- The current close is above the EMA 200.
- The normalized ATR is below the specified chopiness threshold.
The sellSignal is generated when the opposite conditions are met.
7. Plotting: The EMAs (ema200, ema50, ema13) are plotted on the chart using the `plot()` function. The buy and sell signals are plotted as labels using the `plotshape()` function. The buySignal is displayed below the candle (`location=location.belowbar`), and the sellSignal is displayed above the candle (`location=location.abovebar`).
By incorporating these features, the code provides a visual representation of the EMAs, along with buy and sell signals that consider the EMA 200 trend, crossover of shorter EMAs, and the normalized ATR condition. This helps in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market while attempting to reduce false signals.
Selective Moving Average: DemoThis indicator produces a conditional moving average based off of your chosen inputs. For example, you can create an EMA that only takes into account closing prices when the 14 period RSI is greater than 50, or a VWMA that tracks hl2 values when the hl2 value is within one standard deviation from the mean. The possibilities are highly configurable to your liking. Please comment below additional conditions you might like me to add to the moving average and I will try my best to get to your feedback.
The following parameters are configurable:
--> Source: This is the source of the moving average that you want to create. You can use external sources if you have another indicator on your chart.
--> Condition: This is the condition that you want to take into account when the moving average is calculating itself. For instance, I have the following conditions pre-built (more to come): Source within 1 standard deviation of the mean (of the source), Source within 2 standard deviations of the mean (of the source), Positive volume, Negative volume, RSI greater than 50, RSI less than 50, Candlestick length greater than body.
--> Length: The length of the selective moving average. For conditions that occur infrequently, a larger length may be necessary to improve accuracy.
--> Average type: The type of moving average (SMA, EMA, RMA, etc.) that you wish to create
--> Condition length: An optional parameter if you are using a condition that depends on a length itself, i.e. the RSI - here you can change the RSI length. The RSI source will be the moving average source, but future updates may separate the two.

Super Secret 200 EMAThe indicator is called "Super Secret 200 EMA." It combines two technical indicators, the Supertrend and the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), to generate buy and sell opportunities in a trading chart.
Here's how the indicator works and how you can use it:
Supertrend Calculation:
The Supertrend indicator helps identify the current trend in the market. It uses two parameters: Length and Multiplier.
Length: This parameter determines the number of periods used for the calculation.
Multiplier: It controls the width of the Supertrend line, indicating the level of volatility considered in the calculation.
The Supertrend is calculated by looping through the historical data from length to 1.
For each period, it checks whether the closing price has increased or decreased compared to the previous period.
If the closing price has increased, it updates the highestHigh value with the maximum of the current highest high and the high of the current period.
If the closing price has decreased, it updates the lowestLow value with the minimum of the current lowest low and the low of the current period.
Finally, it calculates the Supertrend value using the following formula:
If the change in the closing price is positive: Supertrend = lowestLow + (multiplier * Average True Range (ATR))
If the change in the closing price is negative: Supertrend = highestHigh - (multiplier * ATR)
The Supertrend line will be green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
200 EMA Calculation:
The 200 EMA is a widely used moving average indicator that gives more weight to recent prices.
The EMA period is set to 200 in this case.
The 200 EMA is calculated using the EMA formula, taking into account the closing prices over the specified period.
Plotting:
The Supertrend and 200 EMA lines are plotted on the chart using the plot function.
The Supertrend line is colored green if it is above the 200 EMA line and red if it is below.
The 200 EMA line is colored green if the closing price is above it and red if it is below.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator determines the buy and sell conditions based on the crossover and crossunder of the closing price with the 200 EMA line and the Supertrend line.
Buy Condition: A buy signal is generated when the closing price crosses above the 200 EMA line and is also above the Supertrend line.
Sell Condition: A sell signal is generated when the closing price crosses below the 200 EMA line and is also below the Supertrend line.
Plotting Buy and Sell Signals:
You can use this indicator to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in your trading strategy. However, please note that this is a simplified explanation, and it's essential to thoroughly understand the indicator's principles and backtest it with historical data before relying on it for actual trading decisions.
Use this with other confluences for best results and never rely on a single indicator
HK Percentile Interpolation One
This script is designed to execute a trading strategy based on Heikin Ashi candlesticks, moving averages, and percentile levels.
Please note that you should keep your original chart in normal candlestick mode and not switch it to Heikin Ashi mode. The script itself calculates Heikin Ashi values from regular candlesticks. If your chart is already in Heikin Ashi mode, the script would be calculating Heikin Ashi values based on Heikin Ashi values, which would produce incorrect results.
The strategy begins trading from a start date that you can specify by modifying the `startDate` parameter. The format of the date is "YYYY MM DD". So, for example, to start the strategy from January 1, 2022, you would set `startDate = timestamp("2022 01 01")`.
The script uses Heikin Ashi candlesticks, which are plotted in the chart. This approach can be useful for spotting trends and reversals more easily than with regular candlestick charts. This is particularly useful when backtesting in TradingView's "Rewind" mode, as you can see how the Heikin Ashi candles behaved at each step of the strategy.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on two factors:
1. The crossing over or under of the Heikin Ashi close price and the 75th percentile price level.
2. The Heikin Ashi close price being above certain moving averages.
You have the flexibility to adjust several parameters in the script, including:
1. The stop loss and trailing stop percentages (`stopLossPercentage` and `trailStopPercentage`). These parameters allow the strategy to exit trades if the price moves against you by a certain percentage.
2. The lookback period (`lookback`) used to calculate percentile levels. This determines the range of past bars used in the percentile calculation.
3. The lengths of the two moving averages (`yellowLine_length` and `purplLine_length`). These determine how sensitive the moving averages are to recent price changes.
4. The minimum holding period (`holdPeriod`). This sets the minimum number of bars that a trade must be kept open before it can be closed.
Please adjust these parameters according to your trading preferences and risk tolerance. Happy trading!

Vwma Oscillator [MMD]This line calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of the product of the close price and volume, divided by the EMA of the volume. The EMA is calculated over a period of 4 bars.
This line calculates the difference between the value of a1 and the volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) of the close price. The VWMA is calculated over a period of 8 bars.
This line calculates a3 as twice the VWMA of a2 over a period of 8 bars, minus the VWMA of a2 over a period of 16 bars.
This line plots the value of a3 on the chart. The color of the plot is determined by the condition inside the color argument. If a3 is within 20% of its previous value (a3 ) in either direction, the color is set to silver. Otherwise, if a3 is greater than 0, the color is set to green; otherwise, it is set to red. The linewidth parameter sets the thickness of the plot, and the style parameter specifies that circles should be used to plot the values.
These lines plot two horizontal lines on the chart, one at 80% of the previous a3 value (a3 *0.8) and the other at 120% of the previous a3 value (a3 *1.2). The transp=100 parameter makes the lines transparent. The fill function is then used to fill the area between these lines with either a red or green color, depending on whether a3 at the current bar is greater or smaller than the corresponding values.
This line plots a horizontal line at a value of 0 on the chart. The color is set to gray, and the line width is set to 2.
Overall, this indicator calculates the values of a1, a2, and a3 based on moving averages and

Machine Learning : Cosine Similarity & Euclidean DistanceIntroduction:
This script implements a comprehensive trading strategy that adheres to the established rules and guidelines of housing trading. It leverages advanced machine learning techniques and incorporates customised moving averages, including the Conceptive Price Moving Average (CPMA), to provide accurate signals for informed trading decisions in the housing market. Additionally, signal processing techniques such as Lorentzian, Euclidean distance, Cosine similarity, Know sure thing, Rational Quadratic, and sigmoid transformation are utilised to enhance the signal quality and improve trading accuracy.
Features:
Market Analysis: The script utilizes advanced machine learning methods such as Lorentzian, Euclidean distance, and Cosine similarity to analyse market conditions. These techniques measure the similarity and distance between data points, enabling more precise signal identification and enhancing trading decisions.
Cosine similarity:
Cosine similarity is a measure used to determine the similarity between two vectors, typically in a high-dimensional space. It calculates the cosine of the angle between the vectors, indicating the degree of similarity or dissimilarity.
In the context of trading or signal processing, cosine similarity can be employed to compare the similarity between different data points or signals. The vectors in this case represent the numerical representations of the data points or signals.
Cosine similarity ranges from -1 to 1, with 1 indicating perfect similarity, 0 indicating no similarity, and -1 indicating perfect dissimilarity. A higher cosine similarity value suggests a closer match between the vectors, implying that the signals or data points share similar characteristics.
Lorentzian Classification:
Lorentzian classification is a machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks. It is based on the Lorentzian distance metric, which measures the similarity or dissimilarity between two data points. The Lorentzian distance takes into account the shape of the data distribution and can handle outliers better than other distance metrics.
Euclidean Distance:
Euclidean distance is a distance metric widely used in mathematics and machine learning. It calculates the straight-line distance between two points in Euclidean space. In two-dimensional space, the Euclidean distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).
Dynamic Time Windows: The script incorporates a dynamic time window function that allows users to define specific time ranges for trading. It checks if the current time falls within the specified window to execute the relevant trading signals.
Custom Moving Averages: The script includes the CPMA, a powerful moving average calculation. Unlike traditional moving averages, the CPMA provides improved support and resistance levels by considering multiple price types and employing a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). Its adaptive nature ensures responsiveness to changes in price trends.
Signal Processing Techniques: The script applies signal processing techniques such as Know sure thing, Rational Quadratic, and sigmoid transformation to enhance the quality of the generated signals. These techniques improve the accuracy and reliability of the trading signals, aiding in making well-informed trading decisions.

T3 JMA KAMA VWMAEnhancing Trading Performance with T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator
Introduction
In the dynamic world of trading, staying ahead of market trends and capitalizing on volume-driven opportunities can greatly influence trading performance. To address this, we have developed the T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator, an innovative tool that modifies the traditional Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) formula to increase responsiveness and exploit high-volume market conditions for optimal position entry. This article delves into the idea behind this modification and how it can benefit traders seeking to gain an edge in the market.
The Idea Behind the Modification
The core concept behind modifying the VWMA formula is to leverage more responsive moving averages (MAs) that align with high-volume market activity. Traditional VWMA utilizes the Simple Moving Average (SMA) as the basis for calculating the weighted average. While the SMA is effective in providing a smoothed perspective of price movements, it may lack the desired responsiveness to capitalize on short-term volume-driven opportunities.
To address this limitation, our T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator incorporates three advanced moving averages: T3, JMA, and KAMA. These MAs offer enhanced responsiveness, allowing traders to react swiftly to changing market conditions influenced by volume.
T3 (T3 New and T3 Normal):
The T3 moving average, one of the components of our indicator, applies a proprietary algorithm that provides smoother and more responsive trend signals. By utilizing T3, we ensure that the VWMA calculation aligns with the dynamic nature of high-volume markets, enabling traders to capture price movements accurately.
JMA (Jurik Moving Average):
The JMA component further enhances the indicator's responsiveness by incorporating phase shifting and power adjustment. This adaptive approach ensures that the moving average remains sensitive to changes in volume and price dynamics. As a result, traders can identify turning points and anticipate potential trend reversals, precisely timing their position entries.
KAMA (Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average):
KAMA is an adaptive moving average designed to dynamically adjust its sensitivity based on market conditions. By incorporating KAMA into our VWMA modification, we ensure that the moving average adapts to varying volume levels and captures the essence of volume-driven price movements. Traders can confidently enter positions during periods of high trading volume, aligning their strategies with market activity.
Benefits and Usage
The modified T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator offers several advantages to traders looking to exploit high-volume market conditions for position entry:
Increased Responsiveness: By incorporating more responsive moving averages, the indicator enables traders to react quickly to changes in volume and capture short-term opportunities more effectively.
Enhanced Entry Timing: The modified VWMA aligns with high-volume periods, allowing traders to enter positions precisely during price movements influenced by significant trading activity.
Improved Accuracy: The combination of T3, JMA, and KAMA within the VWMA formula enhances the accuracy of trend identification, reversals, and overall market analysis.
Comprehensive Market Insights: The T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator provides a holistic view of market conditions by considering both price and volume dynamics. This comprehensive perspective helps traders make informed decisions.
Analysis and Interpretation
The modified VWMA formula with T3, JMA, and KAMA offers traders a valuable tool for analyzing volume-driven market conditions. By incorporating these advanced moving averages into the VWMA calculation, the indicator becomes more responsive to changes in volume, potentially providing deeper insights into price movements.
When analyzing the modified VWMA, it is essential to consider the following points:
Identifying High-Volume Periods:
The modified VWMA is designed to capture price movements during high-volume periods. Traders can use this indicator to identify potential market trends and determine whether significant trading activity is driving price action. By focusing on these periods, traders may gain a better understanding of the market sentiment and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Confirmation of Trend Strength:
The modified VWMA can serve as a confirmation tool for assessing the strength of a trend. When the VWMA line aligns with the overall trend direction, it suggests that the current price movement is supported by volume. This confirmation can provide traders with additional confidence in their analysis and help them make more informed trading decisions.
Potential Entry and Exit Points:
One of the primary purposes of the modified VWMA is to assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points. By capturing volume-driven price movements, the indicator can highlight areas where market participants are actively participating, indicating potential opportunities for opening or closing positions. Traders can use this information in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to develop comprehensive trading strategies.
Interpretation of Angle and Gradient:
The modified VWMA incorporates an angle calculation and color gradient to further enhance interpretation. The angle of the VWMA line represents the slope of the indicator, providing insights into the momentum of price movements. A steep angle indicates strong momentum, while a shallow angle suggests a slowdown. The color gradient helps visualize this angle, with green indicating bullish momentum and purple indicating bearish momentum.
Conclusion
By modifying the VWMA formula to incorporate the T3, JMA, and KAMA moving averages, the T3 JMA KAMA VWMA Indicator offers traders an innovative tool to exploit high-volume market conditions for optimal position entry. This modification enhances responsiveness, improves timing, and provides comprehensive market insights.

Equity Curve Trading with EMAWhat Is Equity Curve Trading?
In equity curve trading, traders apply a moving average to the curve. The idea is when the equity curve drops below the moving average, the strategy is put on hold. This is done to stop losses when either the hopes of the plan working start dimming or when the trader knows he cannot afford more losses on a strategy. The trader can resume trading this particular strategy when the equity curve is above the moving average.
Equity Curve Trading puts an investor at the ease of knowing that his investment is covered even when he is not actively tracking his strategy. When the equity curve dips below a level investor is comfortable with, it can be paused until such time that the equity curve is back above the determined moving average.
Example:
Equity Curve Trading Example
Trading Strategy
I choosed the SuperTrend strategy for BTCUSDT on 4 hour time frame. That shows nice equity curve with default settings. Let's find out and check can we improve the equity curve with this modern money management trade method?
Some shift is exist in original equity curve relatively to filtered equity curve, because of array usage, but it is not affected on calculations.
Conclusion
I tested a different time frames, settings and equity curves shapes, but it not gives advantages in equity curve. You can look at the table on the top right corner of the strategy with equity curve and you will see some statistic information for the original strategy and for the modified equity curve trade strategy. In most cases we have lower Win Rate and lower Net Profit after turning on Equity curve trading method. In some cases this can be help if you have the equity curve looks like at the picture above, but this equity curve is really bad for choosing this strategy to trade. I found that EMA works better than SMA, and RMA works better then EMA applied to Equity Curve. You can test your strategy with this trade method if you want, I make the source code opened for it. Please share your results, I hope it will helps.
Conclusion 2
Equity Curve Trading definitely has its proponents in the industry, some of them quite vocal. But, the overall efficacy of the approach is certainly not crystal clear. In fact, what is clear is that it is relatively easy to take a good strategy, and significantly degrade its performance by employing equity curve trading. While the overall objective of equity curve trading is unquestionable – cease trading poor performing strategies - it is probable that there are better ways of accomplishing that goal. From this study, the conclusion is equity curve trading with simple indicators has more downside than upside.
