CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator
Overview
The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator.
Purpose
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative.
Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making.
Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
- Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements.
- Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure.
- Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure.
Elder Force Index (EFI):
- Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is.
- Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend.
- Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend.
Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet.
Features
Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment.
Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis.
How It Works
CMF Calculation:
- Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure.
- CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period:
CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods)
EFI Calculation:
- Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume:
EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume)
Scaling the EFI:
- The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude.
Plotting:
- Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart.
- A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences.
Indicator Settings
Inputs
CMF Length (`cmf_length`):
- Default: 20
- Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals.
EFI Length (`efi_length`):
- Default: 13
- Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes.
EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`):
- Default: 0.000001
- Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually.
How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor
Start with the Default Value:
- Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`.
Visual Inspection:
- Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor.
Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor:
- Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align.
- The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
Verify Alignment:
- Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI.
- Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment.
How to Use the Indicator
Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum:
- Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume).
- Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
Look for Indicator Alignment:
- Both CMF and EFI Positive:
- Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum.
- Both CMF and EFI Negative:
- Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum.
Identify Divergences:
- CMF Positive, EFI Negative:
- Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts.
- CMF Negative, EFI Positive:
- Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal.
Confirm Signals with Other Analysis:
- Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions.
Example Usage
Scenario 1: Bullish Alignment
- CMF Positive: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- EFI Positive and Increasing: Shows strengthening upward momentum.
- Interpretation:
- Strong bullish signal suggesting that buyers are active, and the price is likely to continue rising.
- Action:
- Consider entering a long position or adding to existing ones.
Scenario 2: Bearish Divergence
- CMF Negative: Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- EFI Positive but Decreasing: Momentum is positive but weakening.
- Interpretation:
- Potential bearish reversal; price may be rising but underlying selling pressure suggests caution.
- Action:
- Be cautious with long positions; consider tightening stop-losses or preparing for a possible trend reversal.
Tips
Adjust for Different Assets:
- The optimal scaling factor may differ across assets due to varying price and volume characteristics.
- Always adjust the scaling factor when analyzing a new asset.
Monitor Indicator Crossovers:
- Crossings above or below the zero line can signal potential trend changes.

Implied Volatility LevelsOverview:
The Implied Volatility Levels Indicator is a powerful tool designed to visualize different levels of implied volatility on your trading chart. This indicator calculates various implied volatility levels based on historical price data and plots them as dynamic dotted lines, helping traders identify significant market thresholds and potential reversal points.
Features:
Multi-Level Implied Volatility: The indicator calculates and plots multiple levels of implied volatility, including the mean and both positive and negative standard deviation multiples.
Dynamic Updates: The levels update in real-time, reflecting the latest market conditions without cluttering your chart with outdated information.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the lookback period and the standard deviation multiplier to tailor the indicator to their trading strategy.
Visual Clarity: Implied volatility levels are displayed using distinct colors and dotted lines, providing clear visual cues without obstructing the view of price action.
Support for Multiple Levels: Includes additional levels (up to ±5 standard deviations) for in-depth market analysis.
How It Works:
The indicator computes the standard deviation of the closing prices over a user-defined lookback period. It then calculates various implied volatility levels by adding and subtracting multiples of this standard deviation from the mean price. These levels are plotted as dotted lines on the chart, offering traders a clear view of the current market's volatility landscape.
Usage:
Identify Key Levels: Use the plotted lines to spot potential support and resistance levels based on implied volatility.
Analyze Market Volatility: Understand how volatile the market is relative to historical data.
Plan Entry and Exit Points: Make informed trading decisions by observing where the price is in relation to the implied volatility levels.
Parameters:
Lookback Period (Days): The number of days to consider for calculating historical volatility (default is 252 days).
Standard Deviation Multiplier: A multiplier to adjust the distance of the levels from the mean (default is 1.0).
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to incorporate volatility analysis into their technical strategy, providing a robust framework for anticipating market movements and potential reversals.
[LCS] Bar HeatmapThe script is an overlay aimed at making price action within a range more comprehensible, i.e. what is the “story” that the band range is telling in relation to the price. You’ll see bars become brighter as they come near the upper or lower band, and dimmer around the average/middle of the two bands. This makes it easier to spot when the price is within an oversold or overbought area or when its experiencing a strong trend movement. The color shift from one to the other can also give a sense as to whether the price action is changing character (going from bullish to bearish or vice versa).
Settings are available for customization to the user's liking.
How to use:
1. Add the indicator.
2. Add another indicator to use as the source, such as Bollinger Bands, which provides upper and lower plots for a channel range.
3. Click the gear icon to access the indicator settings.
4. Mandatory: Select the Upper Band and Lower Band settings as the upper and lower plots from your source indicator of choice to define the range.
5. Save settings. You should now see bars on your chart.
6. Access the Chart Settings (not the indicator settings) and hide the Body, Borders, and Wick for the default candle bars to avoid overlap.
You may need to perform additional configuration steps in your source indicator to appropriately size the range of the upper and lower band plots for a meaningful visualization.
Triple Confirmation Kernel Regression Overlay [QuantraSystems]Kernel Regression Oscillator - Overlay
Introduction
The Kernel Regression Oscillator (ᏦᏒᎧ) represents an advanced tool for traders looking to capitalize on market trends.
This Indicator is valuable in identifying and confirming trend directions, as well as probabilistic and dynamic oversold and overbought zones.
It achieves this through a unique composite approach using three distinct Kernel Regressions combined in an Oscillator.
The additional Chart Overlay Indicator adds confidence to the signal.
Which is this Indicator.
This methodology helps the trader to significantly reduce false signals and offers a more reliable indication of market movements than more widely used indicators can.
Legend
The upper section is the Overlay. It features the Signal Wave to display the current trend.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 3), which can indicate extremely rare situations which can lead to either a softening momentum in the trend or even a mean reversion situation.
The lower one is the Base Chart.
The Indicator is linked here
It features the Kernel Regression Oscillator to display a composite of three distinct regressions, also displaying current trend.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 2), which can indicate extremely rare situations.
Case Study
To effectively utilize the ᏦᏒᎧ, traders should use both the additional Overlay and the Base
Chart at the same time. Then focus on capturing the confluence in signals, for example:
If the 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓦𝓪𝓿𝓮 on the Overlay and the ᏦᏒᎧ on the Base Chart both reside near the extreme of an Oversold zone the probability is higher than normal that momentum in trend may soften or the token may even experience a reversion soon.
If a bar is characterized by an Oversold Shading in both the Overlay and the Base Chart, then the probability is very high to experience a reversion soon.
In this case the trader may want to look for appropriate entries into a long position, as displayed here.
If a bar is characterized by an Overbought Shading in either Overlay or Base Chart, then the probability is high for momentum weakening or a mean reversion.
In this case the trade may have taken profit and closed his long position, as displayed here.
Please note that we always advise to find more confluence by additional indicators.

Notes
The Kernel Regression Oscillator on the Base Chart is also sensitive to divergences if that is something you are keen on using.
For maximum confluence, it is recommended to use the indicator both as a chart overlay and in its Base Chart.
Please pay attention to shaded areas with Standard Deviation settings of 2 or 3 at their outer borders, and consider action only with high confidence when both parts of the indicator align on the same signal.
This tool shows its best performance on timeframes lower than 4 hours.
Traders are encouraged to test and determine the most suitable settings for their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
The trend following functionality is indicated through the "𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓦𝓪𝓿𝓮" Line, with optional "Up" and "Down" arrows to denote trend directions only (toggle “Show Trend Signals”).
Methodology
The Kernel Regression Oscillator takes three distinct kernel regression functions,
used at similar weight, in order to calculate a balanced and smooth composite of the regressions. Part of it are:
The Epanechnikov Kernel Regression: Known for its efficiency in smoothing data by assigning less weight to data points further away from the target point than closer data points, effectively reducing variance.
The Wave Kernel Regression: Similarly assigning weight to the data points based on distance, it captures repetitive and thus wave-like patterns within the data to smoothen out and reduce the effect of underlying cyclical trends.
The Logistic Kernel Regression: This uses the logistic function in order to assign weights by probability distribution on the distance between data points and target points. It thus avoids both bias and variance to a certain level.
kernel(source, bandwidth, kernel_type) =>
switch kernel_type
"Epanechnikov" => math.abs(source) <= 1 ? 0.75 * (1 - math.pow(source, 2)) : 0.0
"Logistic" => 1/math.exp(source + 2 + math.exp(-source))
"Wave" => math.abs(source) <= 1 ? (1 - math.abs(source)) * math.cos(math.pi * source) : 0.
kernelRegression(src, bandwidth, kernel_type) =>
sumWeightedY = 0.
sumKernels = 0.
for i = 0 to bandwidth - 1
base = i*i/math.pow(bandwidth, 2)
kernel = kernel(base, 1, kernel_type)
sumWeightedY += kernel * src
sumKernels += kernel
(src - sumWeightedY/sumKernels)/src
// Triple Confirmations
Ep = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Epanechnikov' )
Lo = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Logistic' )
Wa = kernelRegression(source, bandwidth, 'Wave' )
By combining these regressions in an unbiased average, we follow our principle of achieving confluence for a signal or a decision, by stacking several edges to increase the probability that we are correct.
// Average
AV = math.avg(Ep, Lo, Wa)
The Standard Deviation bands take defined parameters from the user, in this case sigma of ideally between 2 to 3,
to help the indicator detect extremely improbable conditions and thus take an inversely probable signal from it to forward to the user.
The parameter settings and also the visualizations allow for ample customizations by the trader. The indicator comes with default and recommended settings.

Tribute to David PaulI made this indicator as a tribute to the late David Paul .
He mentioned quite a lot about 89 periods moving average (especially on 4h), also the 21 and 55.
I put up some entries when three ma are crossed by price in the same direction, bull/bear backgrounds and a color code for candles because who doesn't love the feeling of a lasting trend.
To be more specific :
The indicator plots sma21, sma55, sma89 and AMA = (sma21+sma55+sma89)/3
When the closing price crosses the highest of the 3 sma, it is considered a bullish confirmation.
At this moment two lines appear, one on the bottom of the candle that crossed, one on the crossing point.
The lowest line can be used as the stop loss value of a long.
The highest line can be used as an entry point for a long.
When the closing price crosses the lowest of the 3 sma, it is considered a bearish confirmation.
At this moment two lines appear, one on the top of the candle that crossed, one on the crossing point.
The highest line can be used as the stop loss value of a short.
The lowest line can be used as an entry point for shorts.
When the closing price is above AMA, it is considered a bullish confirmation.
At this time a blue background appears at the crossing point.
The highest line can be used as the stop loss value for a long.
The starting point of the background can be used as the entry point for a long.
When the closing price is below AMA, it is considered a bearish confirmation.
At this time a red background appears at the crossing point.
The highest line can be used as the stop loss value for a short.
The starting point of the background can be used as the entry point for a short.
When the price is above 3 sma the candles turn blue. Signifying an upward trend.
When the price is below 3 sma the candles turn red. Signifying a bearish trend.
When the price is neither simultaneously above nor below the 3 sma, the candles are gray and the background linked to AMA becomes less vivid. Meaning a loss of vitality of the current trend or an absence of a clear trend.
Ideally, you should take a position towards "Real Long/Short Entry", set your stop loss towards "Ideal Long/Short Entry", and close the trade either when the background ends (riskier but more potential), or when the candles become gray (more conservative but noisier).
In the inputs, you can modify the display rules (explained in the tooltips), by default everything is displayed.
External Indicator Analysis Overlay | Buy/Sell | HTF Heikin-AshiThis chart overlay offers multiple candlestick display options. The Regular (Japanese) and the Heikin-Ashi candles are well known. The Mari-Ashi (or Renko) option is something special as it should be timeframe independent, so that sideways action should be represented in one candle. That is difficult to realize as an overlay on the normal candlestick structure, but perhaps the chosen implementation is useful nonetheless. The Velocity option is experimental and is designed to show if the price has accelerated too much in a trend direction. In this case, the highs and lows do not reflect the actual highs and lows, but indicate the overshooting velocity. The opening of the candle also depends on the inherent velocity, but the close of the candle is always the actual close. Anyway, it doesn't look very useful, but the option is there.
All options can be applied to higher timeframes. A usable setting is obtained by disabling only the body of the TradingView candles in regular mode and enabling this overlay.
A large part of this overlay consists of buy/sell indication settings. For activation it is necessary to select an external source. For example the “Relative Bi-Directional Volatility Range”, specifically the Trend Shift Signal (TSS). This signal switches from 0 to 1, if the trend becomes bullish or from 0 to -1, if the trend becomes bearish. It will be automatically detected without specifying the Indication Type. Alternatively, the Volatility Moving Average (VMA) would meet the requirements for the Indication Type “Buy = positive | Sell = negative”. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also fulfills these conditions. Another example is to use any Moving Average with the Indication Type “Buy = rising | Sell = falling”. In the chart above the Hull Moving Average (HMA) is used. In addition, it is possible to reverse the signal, so that positive signals become negative and vice versa. The signals will be labeled as Buy or Sell on the chart.
The user can analyze whether the provided signals are good or bad indications for going long or short or simply for rebalancing a portfolio. Therefore, it is possible to set a starting point for the analysis and choose a weighting for the investments from 0% to 100% of the portfolio. To avoid sleepless nights, a very reliable (and conservative) setting seems to be Rebalancing with 50% (very similar to the well-known 60/40 portfolio). The calculation results are shown in a table.
As a small addition there is the possibility to label the peaks by setting the distance between the highs/lows. This will make the quality of the buy and sell signals even more clear.
MF Time Travel (Delay or Forward Charts) by MigueFinanceThis indicator allows you to "Time Travel" aka. delay or advance (or forward) the on-screen chart/indicator as well as well as to do the same with other additional charts that can be configured in the settings.
This might be very useful when comparing with other (or the same) indicator in time, if you consider probably an incoming move based on another time performance.
About the Settings:
The moved in time charts can also be expanded or contracted, as well as they can be moved vertically (offset).
To Delay put positive values on the weeks settings, to Advance put Negative values on the same.
The Expansion or Contraction Factor is simply a multiplier of amplitude so you can multiply by number like 0.5, 2, etc
The Vertical Offset simply moves up and down the indicator.
The Labels will also tell you the number of weeks and years that were changed so as to have a reference, as well as the indicator being used.
3D Engine OverlayThe Overlay 3D Engine is an advanced and innovative indicator designed to render 3D objects on a trading chart using Pine Script language. This tool enables users to visualize complex geometric shapes and structures on their charts, providing a unique perspective on market trends and data. It is recommended to use this indicator with a time frame of 1 week or greater.
The code defines various data structures, such as vectors, faces, meshes, locations, objects, and cameras, to represent the 3D objects and their position in the 3D space. It also provides a set of functions to manipulate these structures, such as scaling, rotating, and translating the objects, as well as calculating their perspective transformation based on a given camera.
The main function, "render," takes a list of 3D objects (the scene) and a camera as input, processes the scene, and then generates the corresponding 2D lines to be drawn on the chart. The true range of the asset's price is calculated using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which helps adjust the rendering based on the asset's volatility.
The perspective transformation function "perspective_transform" takes a mesh, a camera, an object's vertical offset, and the true range as input and computes the 2D coordinates for each vertex in the mesh. These coordinates are then used to create a list of polygons that represent the visible faces of the objects in the scene.
The "process_scene" function takes a list of 3D objects and a camera as input and applies the perspective transformation to each object in the scene, generating a list of 2D polygons that represent the visible faces of the objects.
Finally, the "render" function iterates through the list of 2D polygons and draws the corresponding lines on the chart, effectively rendering the 3D objects in a 2D projection on the trading chart. The rendering is done using Pine Script's built-in "line" function, which allows for scalable and efficient visualization of the objects.
One of the challenges faced while developing the Overlay 3D Engine indicator was ensuring that the 3D objects rendered on the chart would automatically scale correctly for different time frames and trading pairs. Various assets and time frames exhibit different price ranges and volatilities, which can make it difficult to create a one-size-fits-all solution for rendering the 3D objects in a visually appealing and easily interpretable manner.
To overcome this challenge, I implemented a dynamic scaling mechanism that leverages the true range of the asset's price and a calculated ratio. The true range is calculated using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the difference between the high and low prices of the asset. This measure provides a smooth estimate of the asset's volatility, which is then used to adjust the scaling of the 3D objects rendered on the chart.
The ratio is calculated by dividing the asset's opening price by the true range, which is then divided by a constant factor (32 in this case). This ratio effectively normalizes the scaling of the 3D objects based on the asset's price and volatility, ensuring that the rendered objects appear correctly sized and positioned on the chart, regardless of the time frame or trading pair being analyzed.
By incorporating the true range and the calculated ratio into the rendering process, the Overlay 3D Engine indicator is able to automatically adjust the scaling of the 3D objects on the chart, providing a consistent and visually appealing representation of the objects across various time frames and trading pairs. This dynamic scaling mechanism enhances the overall utility and versatility of the indicator, making it a valuable tool for traders and analysts seeking a unique perspective on market trends.
In addition to the dynamic scaling mechanism mentioned earlier, the Overlay 3D Engine indicator also employs a sophisticated perspective transformation to render the 3D objects on the chart. Perspective transformation is an essential aspect of 3D graphics, as it provides the necessary conversion from 3D coordinates to 2D coordinates, allowing the 3D objects to be displayed on a 2D chart.
The perspective transformation process in the Overlay 3D Engine indicator begins by taking the 3D mesh data of the objects and transforming their vertices based on the position, orientation, and field of view of a virtual camera. The camera's field of view (FOV) is adjusted using a tangent function, which ensures that the rendered objects appear with the correct perspective, regardless of the chart's aspect ratio.
Once the vertices of the 3D objects have been transformed, the perspective-transformed 2D coordinates are then used to create polygons that can be rendered on the chart. These polygons represent the visible faces of the 3D objects and are drawn using lines that connect the transformed vertices.
The incorporation of perspective transformation in the Overlay 3D Engine indicator ensures that the 3D objects are rendered with a realistic appearance, providing a visually engaging and informative representation of the market trends. This technique, combined with the dynamic scaling mechanism, makes the Overlay 3D Engine indicator a powerful and innovative tool for traders and analysts seeking to visualize and interpret market data in a unique and insightful manner.
In summary, the Overlay 3D Engine indicator offers a novel way to interpret and visualize market data, enhancing the overall trading experience by providing a unique perspective on market trends.
Transmit signals to overlayThis indicator transmits signals from another indicator panel to the main panel through the chart.
It may be suitable when it is not possible to use the main indicator with the "overlay=true" attribute.
For the script to work, the input signal must be "1" for BUY and "0" for SELL.

Divergence Finder [Multigrain]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator is a divergence finder, designed to be overlayed on top of any oscillator. By utilizing an Exponential Moving Average, rather than built-in pivot functions, this allows for insignificant pivots of the oscillator to be filtered out. Additionally, by sampling more than just the previous oscillator pivot, this allows for divergences to be found that would otherwise be overlooked through other methods.
█ CONCEPTS
Interim Price Threshold
A new metric used when determining valid divergences is the Interim Price Threshold (IPT). The IPT is the maximum percent delta the price is allowed to "poke-through" the divergent line at any given time.
Interim Oscillator Threshold
Similar to the Interim Price Threshold, the Interim Oscillator Threshold (IOT) is the maximum percent delta the oscillator is allowed to "poke-through" the divergent line at any given time.
Dynamic Midline
Commonly a static midline is utilized when determining whether a divergence may be bullish or bearish. By utilizing the built-in percentile nearest rank function, the midline is automatically and dynamically determined based on the previous 250 bars. As a result certain divergences which may otherwise be overlooked will be discovered.
█ SETTINGS
Oscillator Source: The oscillator in which you want find divergences from. Default to a MACD oscillator when unchanged.
Price Source: The price source in which you want to find divergences from.
Moving Average Length: The length of the exponential moving average used when determining the pivot points of the selected oscillator.
█ USAGES
Divergence in technical analysis can indicate a significant bullish or bearish price move. A bullish divergence occurs when an asset's price makes a new low while an indicator begins to rise. A bearish divergence occurs when the price makes a new high but the indicator under consideration makes a lower high.

The Stochastic RSI
The popular oscillator has been described as follows:
“The Stochastic RSI is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index ( RSI ) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The Stochastic RSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change.”
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI.
This indicator was originally built as one of a many features included in the RF+ Divergence Scalping System and has been separated into it's own standalone indicator here for traders who do not want the many other features bundled into the original indicator. A number of features that exist in the original were intensive, and also quite niche. Therefore this lightweight single purpose chart overlay indicator offers this versatile feature of the ever popular Stochastic RSI to a wider audience of traders who may add it to various strategies.
RF+ Divergence Scalping SystemRF+ Divergence Scalping System + Custom Signals + Alerts.
This chart overlay indicator has been developed for the low timeframe divergence scalper.
Built upon the realtime divergence drawing code from the Divergence for Many indicator originally authored by Lonsometheblue, this chart overlay indicator bundles several additional unique features and modifications to serve as an all-in-one divergence scalping system. The current key features at the time of publishing are listed below (features are optional and can be enabled or disabled):
- Fully configurable realtime divergence drawing and alerting feature that can draw divergences directly on the chart using data sourced from up to 11 oscillators selected by the user, which have been included specifically for their ability to detect divergences, including oscillators not presently included in the original Divergence for Many indicator, such as the Ultimate Oscillator and TSI.
- Optional on chart table showing a summary of key statuses of various indicators, and nearby divergences.
- 2 x Range Filters with custom settings used for low timeframe trend detection.
- 3 x configurable multi-timeframe Stochastic RSI overbought and oversold signals with presentation options.
- On-chart pivot points drawn automatically.
- Automatically adjusted pivot period for up to 4 configurable time frames to fine tune divergences drawn for optimal divergence detection.
- Real-price line for use with Heikin Ashi candles, with styling options.
- Real-price close dots for use with Heikin Ashi candles, with styling options.
- A selection of custom signals that can be printed on-chart and alerted.
- Sessions indicator for the London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney trading sessions, including daylight savings toggle, and unique ‘invert background color’ option, which colours the entire chart - except the trading session you have selected, leaving your chart clear of distracting background color.
- Up to 4 fully configurable moving averages.
- Additional configurable settings for numerous built in indicators, allowing you to alter the lengths and source types, including the UO, TSI, MFI, TSV, 2 x Range Filters.
- Configurable RSI Trend detection signal filter used in a number of the signals, which filters buy signals where the RSI is over the RSI moving average, and only prints sell signals where RSI is under the moving average.
- Customisable on-chart watermark, with inputs for a custom title, subtitle, and also an optional symbol | timeframe | date feature.
The Oscillators able to be selected for use in drawing divergences at the time of publishing are as follows:
- Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
- True Strength Indicator (TSI)
- Money Flow Index (MFI)
- Cumulative Delta Volume (CDV)
- Time Segmented Volume (TSV)
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
- Awesome Oscillator
- Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Stochastic
- On Balance Volume (OBV)
- MACD Histogram
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose, also when the triple timeframe Stochastic RSI overbought and oversold confluences occur, as well as when custom signals are printed.
Configurable pivot period values.
You can adjust the default pivot period values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action. By default, this indicator has enabled the automatic adjustment of the pivot periods for 4 configurable time frames, in a bid to optimize the divergences drawn when the indicator is loaded onto any of the 4 time frames selected. These time frames and their associated pivot periods can be fully reconfigured within the settings menu. By default, these have been further optimized for the low timeframe scalper trading on the 1-15 minute time frames.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at, or crossing down from an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at, or crossing up from an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI.
This indicator is intended for use in conjunction with related panel indicators including the TSI+ (True Strength Indicator + Realtime Divergences), UO+ (Ultimate Oscillator + Realtime Divergences), and optionally the STRSI+ (MTF Stochastic RSI + Realtime Divergences) and MFI+ (Money Flow Index + Realtime Divergences) available via this authors’ Tradingview profile, under the scripts section. The realtime divergence drawing code will not identify all divergences, so it is suggested that you also have panel indicators to observe. Each panel indicator also offers additional means of entry confirmation into divergence trades, for example, the Stochastic can indicate when it is crossing down from overbought or up from oversold, the TSi can indicate when the 2 TSI bands cross over one another upward or downward, and the UO and MFI can indicate an entry confluence when they are nearing, or crossing their centerlines, for more confidence in your divergence trade entries.
Additional information on the settings for this indicator can be found via the tooltips within the settings menu itself. Further information on feature updates, and usage tips & tricks will be added to the comments section below in due course.
Disclaimer: This indicator uses code adapted from the Divergence for Many v4 indicator authored by Lonesometheblue, and several stock indicators authored by Tradingview. With many thanks.
Improved Z-Score OverlayLast month I published an improved z-score script that goes underneath your chart, which helps to highlight overbought or oversold regimes. It is customizable, and allows changing the periods, whether smoothing capability is desired, whether to use simple or exponential moving averages, and which data source to use (open, high, low, close, ohlc4).
Some individuals may find that it is most useful not only to have the z-score visible underneath their price chart, but have the sigma values clearly visible on the chart itself to determine overbought or oversold levels.
Therefore, this improved z-score overlay script will place the centerline of price on the chart, and +3/+2/+1/0/-1/-2/-3 sigma.
These can be disabled if some values do not want to be shown, and the colors / opacity can be changed.
Additionally, you could also put this into a new pane below your chart and disable all of the +3 to -3 sigma values, and enable the "Z-Score" button. This will allow you to replicate the original Improved Z-Score Script.
If anyone has questions or would like to have any improvements made, let me know :)

Chervolinos_Rob Hoffman_Inventory Retracement Bar_and_OverlayHere is something like a combo from the well known Rob Hoffman (Overlay) Indicator and the Inventory Retracement Bar without any ballast
This really smart strategy with a low risk and a quick profit. I combine this two Indicators to save space.
The first condition is that the orange line and the lime line must be parallel and there is no other line between them because this condition is moving under 45 angle.
The second condition is that the target candles must be below the orange line in the case of the downtrend as we see.
As we see it here in the case of an uptrend should be candles above the orange line and this is logical as we see here.
Sometimes we noticed the appearance of the signal onto the candle but the conditions were not applicable because there is an orange line between the green line and the orange line and this means that the signal is fake.
This candle is also good for entry and we can place a buy order above it but is it beginner, so you must respect the conditions in order to be able to master it very well.
Enter with Confidence all conditions are present a red arrow above the candle and the candle is above the orange line and there are no lines between the lime and
orange line. Yes this is our target the entry-point will be a little above the wicked the candle, that is you will not buy now but it's a price exceeds the weight limit
even slightly, we will buy directly it is hoffman's method. Expected if the price in which resistance occurred which is the resistance represented
by the candlewick will be broken the price for rise up and strongly and if it does not happen you will not lose anything anyway to stop loss and take profit. Try the ratio by 1,5.
This part of this strategy is one of the best trading strategies with a low risk rate and can be used as an initial guide to know the market movement and to enter successful trades.
Let's start correctly. This strategy can be used on any time frame from one minute to one day or even more, but I recommend using it on a 10-minute frame one hour or 30 minutes frame. Here I use the 30-Minute frame.
This strategy is based on two things: Tramp Direction and the inventory retracement bar. Don't worry and don't think about it because all this will be automatic but let's understand some simple terms.
There many arrows in green and red. Please read the discription above.
Please read the following tipps:
To avoid the trend Reversal, try to add one one of the Divergence indicators to your chart.
To avoid entering in a pullback movement as much as possible.
--> Combine it with other indicators <--

if there were any typographical errors, please forgive me
Note: Buy/Sell signals using non-standard chart types (Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point & Figure, and Range) are not allowed, as they produce unrealistic results
Volume [Educational]Hello All,
This is an educational work and it's developed to show how to write scripts that will work like built-in volume indicator.
We have new features in Pine Script™ Language, such chart.bg_color, chart.fg_color, chart.left_visible_bar_time, chart.right_visible_bar_time and many more. Many Thanks to Tradingview and Pine Team for such great additions!
You can find more information about these new functions here .
How the script works?
- At the first step it calculates how many visible bar on the chart by using chart.right_visible_bar_time and chart.left_visible_bar_time functions.
- Calculates the zero line for the volume
- Finds maximum volume on visible area and normalize all volume values
- Draws volume bars
- Shows volume info as indicator value. in this step it uses chart.fg_color and plotarrow() commands to show the values in optimum color.
In order to place the indicator at the bottom of the chart, Please set Bottom Margin = 0 as shown in the following screenshot:
You can change the volume bar colors optionally.
An Example screenshot with different volume bar colors:
Enjoy!
VWAP With EMAFor those who want the classic Volume Weighted Average Price and Ema on the same overlay.
This script utilizes the same protocols as the VWAP and EMA you currently use. Just frees up an indicator space.

Overlay Mini Plot(s) of Correlated Asset(s)Overlay a small plot of a correlated asset of your choosing. Shrink/expand, Set vertical and horizontal position, plot multiple mini-plots via duplicate indicators with varied settings.
Plots the last X bars of any asset; including the live candle currently painting
Useful for low time frame trading when you want to see correlated asset price movement right alongside the price movement you're watching.
Useful for quick and simple comparisons; when you don't want the clutter of split screen or multi-pane view.
Useful for backtesting.
Price scale agnostic; just plots the shape of the recent price action, with several optional labels: Asset+timeframe | Live Price | Highest price over X bars | Lowest price over X bars.
Works fine with all the assets i've tested it on.
~~User inputs~~
-number of bars to paint.
-horizontal offset: plot to right X bars or to left X bars
-vertical offset: shift up or down, shrink or expand; by using 2 'spacer' inputs
-color/transparancy of candles and price labels.
-width (pixels) of candle bodies.
-choose to display price labels or not
-choose to display asset label or not
~~Tips~~
--Add several of these indicators; changing the vertical 'Shift/Shrink' settings on each to visually separate them.
--In the above chart or EurUsd, there are three indicators =>> three mini-plots overlaid: DXY, EurGbp and GbpUsd. Using the following settings for Space Above:Space Below: DXY- 0.1:4.5 | EurGbp- 1.8:1.8 | GbpUsd- 4.5:0.1
--the more you add, the more you'll have to vertically shrink the plots

RSI OverlayThis is the stock RSI index using the Price as the midline.
It can be useful to view information normally displayed in a second pane overlaid on the price chart. As far as I know, this has not been done for one of the most widely used indicators, the Relative Strength Index.
This can be overlaid anywhere on the chart and every parameter is variable. If you'd like to change the position, the RSI, midline, upper line, and lower line are scaled with a factor "*close/x"
To change the position on the chart, simply change the "X" until you are pleased with the location.
The RSI MA was distracting so I removed it. I also published this indicator including the MA, titled "RSI Overlay with MA."
[_ParkF]HeikinAshi
In the Input menu, the default value of Location is 1, and HeikinAshi can be seen overlapping the candle.
If you modify the Location value, you can overlay it separately with candle to compare.
(In this case, the HeikinAshi value is different from the actual value, so it is recommended to use it to identify the trend.)
Also, if you move HeikinAshi to a new pane, you can use it as an auxiliary indicator at the bottom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input 메뉴에서 Location의 기본값은 1이며, 헤이킨아시를 캔들과 겹쳐서 볼 수 있게 되어 있습니다.
Location 값을 수정하면 캔들과 따로 overlay 시켜 비교할 수 있습니다.
(이 경우 헤이킨아시의 값은 실제값과 다르니 추세 파악을 위해 사용하시길 권장합니다.)
또, 헤이킨아시를 새 페인으로 옮기면 하단의 보조지표처럼 사용할 수 있습니다.
Oscillators Overlay w/ Divergencies/Alerts by DGTAn oscillator is a technical analysis tool that, simply said, gauge momentum, determine market trend direction and duration. For some oscillators, fluctuations are bounded by some upper and lower band, and traders use them to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
Oscillators are often combined with moving average indicators to signal trend breakouts or reversals
Histogram, is the difference between the oscillator and signal lines, which oscillates above and below a center line and is used as a good indication of an asset's momentum
What to look for
- Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the oscillators
- Zero Line Crossovers have a very similar premise to Signal Line Crossovers
- Divergence , when the oscillator and actual price are not in agreement, is another signal created by the oscillators
- Overbought and Oversold , with any range-bound oscillator, conditions are a primary signal generated
Oscillators Overlay study
* Presents oscillators on top of the mian chart (price chart)
* A single indicator for many well known and custom oscillators
* Divergence detection
* Alerts for various condtions
The list of oscillators included;
- Awesome Oscillator (AO)
- Chaikin Oscillator (Chaikin Osc)
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
- Distance Oscillator
- Elder-Ray Bear and Bull Power
- Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)
- Klinger Oscillator
- Money Flow Index (MFI)
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
- Rate Of Change (ROC)
- Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Stochastic (Stoch)
- Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI)
- Volume Oscillator (Volume Osc)
- Wave Trend
In technical analysis, investors find oscillators to be important technical tools and consider them more effective when used in conjunction with other means of technical analysis
