Mean Deviation IndexThe Mean Deviation Index (MDX) is used to see how much price is deviating from the mean. This indicator takes both volatility and mean deviation in consideration.
It uses the standard deviation of the ATR to filter an EMA, and uses this as the mean. It then only plots > or < 0 if price is more than one x ATR away from the mean. If index is positive, the background turns green, meaning price is more than 1 x ATR above the mean. If the index is negative, the background turns red, meaning price is more than 1 x ATR below the mean. This setting can be changed by changing the setting "ATR Multiplier", but the default is 1 x ATR.
There are two main ways to use this index.
1. Use it aggressively to find trends (by combining it with other indicators) by entereding each time the background changes color to green for longs or red for shorts.
2. Use it spot breakouts, waiting for a pullback, and then entering on the next move in the same direction. In this context for a short, you wait for the background color to turn green, then wait for the index to pull back, and then enter once it starts moving up again.

Setting-Less Trend-Step FilteringIntroduction
Indicators settings have been a major concern in trading strategies, in order to provide the best results each indicators involved in the strategy must have its settings optimized, when using only 1 indicator this task can easily be achieved, but an increasing number of indicators involve more slower computations, lot of softwares will use brute force for indicators settings optimization, this involve testing each indicator settings and see which setting/combination maximize the equity, in order to fasten this process softwares can use a user defined range for the indicator settings. Nonetheless the combination that maximize the equity at time t might be different at time t+1...n .
Therefore i propose an indicator without any numerical setting that aim to filter small price variations using the architecture of the T-step lsma, such indicator can provide robust filtering and can therefore be used as input for other indicators.
Robustness Vs Non Robustness
Robustness is often defined as the ability of certain statistical tools to be less affected by outliers, outliers are defined as huge variations in a data-set, high volatility movements and large gaps might be considered as outliers. However here we define robustness as the ability of an indicator to be non affected by price variations that are not correlated with the main trend, which can be defined in technical analysis as pullbacks.
Some small pullbacks in INTEL, the indicator is not affected by them, which allow the indicator to filter the price in a "smart" way.
This effect is made possible by using exponential averaging in the indicator, exponential averaging is defined as y = sc*x + (1-sc)*y , with 1 > sc > 0 . Here sc is calculated in a similar way as the kalman gain, which is in the form of a/(a + b) , in our case this is done with :
sc = abs(input - nz(b ))/(abs(input - nz(b )) + nz(a ))
Non Robust Version Of The Indicator
The user is allowed to use the non robust version of the indicator by unchecking "robust" in the setting panel, this allow a better fit with the price at the cost of less filtering.
robust checked
robust unchecked
Conclusion
I proposed a technical indicator that aim to filter short frequencies without the use of parameters, the indicator proven to be robust to various pullbacks and therefore was able to follow the main trend, although using the term trend for such small price variations might be wrong. Removing high frequencies is always beneficial in trading, noisy series are harder to manipulate, this is why you'll see a lot of indicators using median price often defined as hl2 instead of the closing price.
Like previous settings-less indicators i published this one can behave differently depending on the time frame selected by the user, lower time frames will make the indicator filter more. I'll try to make more setting-less indicators that will correct this effect.

Pullback SP-Strategy#9This is my interpretation of Steven Primo's pull back strategy indicator # 9. Seems to work on any time frame or combination high and low. I prefer to use it with the regular fractals and a 20 or 50 SMA and 5 period RSI. I would prefer to have it only paint up arrows when bars close above the SMA and vise versa with down arrows. If someone can help me correct that please contact me.
Thanks, 1776er.
Sizing GuideThis indicator helps you defining your max sizing, depending on the max $$$ amount you're willing to risk against a specific exponential moving average (or VWAP, default is the 13ema).
You can define your max risk amount and your max allowed sizing. The indicator would suggest the best sizing in order to risk only up to the amount you are comfortable with on a potential trade.
Moreover, the column bar would turn yellow/red if the divergence is above a certain threshold (default are yellow > 1.50% and red > 2.75%, green otherwise).
The Trading Channel (EAP Course) - Pullback Indicator 1.0I've recently subscribed to TTC's EAP course and created this script to help me.
This is a script to assist with backtesting the strategy outlined in the course. It follows the 5 basic rules of entry.
Aggressive Pullback IndicatorThis indicator is designed to be used with the rules of Steven Hart's Aggressive Pullback Strategy. It is intended for use on the 4-hour timeframe of certain currency pairs, but will work on all timeframes and instruments. The rules are customizable, but the default settings are designed to reflect the rules of Steven's pullback strategy as closely as possible.
To enable alerts: Add the indicator to the chart and create a new alert with the settings Condition: API , Frequency: Once Per Bar (on Close).
Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)

Pullback Trading Tool R5-65 by JustUncleLBy request this is an updated version of the "PullBack Trading Tool": removes experimental "OCC" channel, added option to display ribbons or just single moving average lines, added alert arrows for "PB" exits, added alertcondition for TV alarm subsystem, added some extract options for Pivot points and general cleanup of code.
Description:
This project incorporates the majority of the indicators needed to analyse and trade Trends for Pullbacks, swings and reversals.
Incorporated within this tool are the following indicators:
1. Major industry (Banks) recognised important EMAs in an EMA Ribbon:
Lime = EMA5 (Optional Display)
DodgerBlue = EMA12 (Optional Display)
Red = EMA36 (Optional display)
Green = EMA89
Blue = EMA200
Black = EMA633
2. The 5 EMA (default) High/Low/Close Price Action Channel (PAC), the PAC channel display is disabled by default.
3. Optionally display Fractals and optional Fractal levels
4. Optional HH, LH, LL, HL finder.
5. Optional Buy/Sell "PB" exit Alerts with Optional 200EMA filter.
6. Coloured coded Bar high lighting based on the PAC:
blue = bar closed above PAC
red = bar closed below PAC
gray = bar closed inside PAC
7. Alert condition sent to TradingView's Alarm subsystem for PB exits.
8. Pivot points with optional labels.
9. EMA5-12 Ribbon is displayed by default.
10.EMA12-36 Ribbon is displayed by default
Set up and hints:
I am unable to provide a full description here, as Pullback Trading incorporates a full trading Methodology, there are a number of articles and books written on the subject.
Set the chart to Heikin Ashi Candles (optional).
I also add a "Sweetspot Gold R3" indicator to the chart as well to help with support and resistance finding and shows where the important "00" lines are.
First on a weekly basis say Sunday night or Monday morning, analyse the Daily and Weekly charts to establish overall trends, and support/resistant levels. Draw significant mini trend lines (2/3 TL), vertical trend lines (VTL) and S/R levels. Can use the Pivots points to guide VTL drawing and Fractals to help guide 2/3 TL drawing.
Once the trend direction and any potential major reversals highlighted, drop down to lower timeframe chart and draw appropriate mini Trend line (2/3 TL) matching the established momentum direction. Take note of potential pull backs from and of the EMAs, in particular the EMA5-12 ribbon, EMA12-36 Ribbon and the 200EMA. Can use the Pivots and/or Fractals points to guide your 2/3 TL drawing.
Set a TradingView alarm on the "PBTOOL alert", with the default settings this normally occurs before or during the Break of the manually drawn TL lines.
Once alerted check to see if the TL is broken and is returning to trend away from the EMA lines, this is indicated by bar colour change to trend directional colour.
You can trade that alert or drop down to even lower time frames and perform the same TL analysis there to find trades at the lower TF. Trading at lower TF you will allow tighter Stop loss settings.
Other than the "SweetSpot Gold R3" indicator, you should not need any other indicator to successfully trade trends for Pullbacks and reversals. If you really want another indicator I suggest a momentum one for example: AO ( Awesome Oscillator ), MACD or Squeeze Momentum.
Murrey Math Extremes ComparatorHOW IT WORKS
Creates two murrey math oscillators (hidden) one with 256 length another with 32 length and compare each other.
WHAT GIVE ME THIS SCRIPT
The script can give you very valuable information:
- Main Trend
- Pullbacks detections
- Extreme overbought oversold prices alerts
- Divergences
- Any timeframe usage
REFERENCES OF USAGE
Main Trend Indications
****The main trend is indicated with green(bull) or red(bears) small "triangles" on the bottom(bull) or the top(bears) of the chart.
*****To detect the Bull/Bear major trend the script use 256 murrey, if > 0 (green) we are uptrend in other cases we are downtrend
Pullback detection
****The pullbacks are indicated with Green(bull) or red(bears) medium "Arrows"
*****To detect pullbacks the system compare the long term murrey with the short term murrey, if long term is Green(green triangles)
*****so we are in a main bull trend, if the short term murrey make an extreme low then the pullback is indicated
*****The same for the short pullback, if long term murrey is RED and we have an extreme green short term murrey we shot a red arrow
Extreme Overbught/Oversold
****The extreme OO is indicated with fancy diamonds
*****To detect the Extremes price movements we combine the two murrey, if Long Term Murrey is overbought and short term murrey too
*****Then the diamond show on the screen obove or below based on the extreme if overbought or oversold
Strategy Resume:
Triangles indicate Major Trend Up/Down
Arrows Indicate Continuation pullbacks
Diamonds Indicate Extreme Prices

How it's works Behind Scene
UCS_S_Steve Primo - Strategy 4 - Version 2For those who are interested with this strategy, Here is a better version.
UCS_S_Steve Primo - Strategy #8Hello Fellas,
Hope you are trading fantastic and fine. Here is another setup from Steve Primo (Stocks) Setups. He claims this can be applied on any market, and you can. Primarily focused on Stocks and Futures market.
NOTE : I DID CODE THE BOTTOM INDICATOR, NOT PUBLISHING IT, ITS JUST RSI(5)
What did I change, ofcourse I don't publish what I find, There is a bit of me in the codes.....
1. Setup only shows up at meaningful levels, Stringent Filter
Myself and tradearcher will keep this upto date. As he has volenteered to help with the track record of steve primo strategies.
docs.google.com
This is more like catching a freight train after a mini pullback.
AGAIN, This is not a holy grail, but this fits my personality of trading, Buying pullbacks on stronger stocks. Because it is harder to get a UCS_momo_Oscillator to signal a setup, primarily because of the smoothing, you can use this as an alternative to catch the excitement trade.
Do not sit on it for more than T+4 days, Unless another setup triggered in your way.
Rule - Buy/Sell the candle breakout next day after the setup - in the direction it is setting up
- Close the Position @ 100% candle extension or RSI Oversold.
[RS]Temporal Extreme Spliter V0EXPERIMENTAL: this script can be used as a trend follower if bgcolor is active, it can be used to catch extremes and target levels for a pull back to the mean, can be used as support and resistance with the time period open price and extreme. other uses, improvements let me know :p.
