Cumulative Volume Delta with VWAP-based Buy/Sell AlertsDescription:
This script combines Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) to generate buy and sell signals. It plots both the cumulative volume delta and its moving average on the chart, but the actual buy and sell signals are now based on the crossover and crossunder of the price with the VWAP, a popular tool for tracking price relative to the volume-weighted average over time.
Features:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Plot:
CVD helps visualize the net buying or selling pressure by accumulating volume when the price is rising and subtracting it when the price is falling. The cumulative volume is plotted on the chart as a blue line.
Moving Average of CVD:
A simple moving average (SMA) of the cumulative volume delta is plotted in orange to smooth out fluctuations and help detect the trend of volume flow.
VWAP Calculation:
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a standard benchmark widely used in trading. It gives insight into whether the price is trading above or below the average price at which most of the volume has traded, weighted by volume. The VWAP is plotted as a purple line on the chart.
Buy/Sell Signals Based on VWAP:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the VWAP, indicating potential upward momentum.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the VWAP, signaling potential downward momentum.
These signals are displayed on the chart with clear labels:
Buy Signal: A green upward label appears below the price.
Sell Signal: A red downward label appears above the price.
Alerts for Buy/Sell Conditions:
Alerts are built into the script, so traders can receive notifications when the following conditions are met:
Buy Alert: The price crosses above the VWAP.
Sell Alert: The price crosses below the VWAP.
Use Case:
This script is useful for traders looking to incorporate both volume-based indicators and the VWAP into their trading strategy. The combination of CVD and VWAP provides a more comprehensive view of both price and volume dynamics:
VWAP helps traders understand whether the price is trading above or below its volume-weighted average.
CVD highlights buying or selling pressure through cumulative volume analysis.
Customization:
Anchor Periods: The user can customize the anchor period to suit different timeframes and trading styles.
Custom Alerts: The alert conditions can be easily modified to integrate into any trader’s strategy.
This script can be adapted for both short-term and long-term trading strategies and is especially useful in high-volume markets.
How to Use:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Customize the timeframe and anchor period, if needed, to match your preferred trading style.
Watch for Buy/Sell signals based on price crossing the VWAP.
Set up alerts to receive notifications when Buy or Sell signals are triggered.
This script is designed to help traders make informed decisions based on both price action relative to volume and Cumulative Delta volume trends, giving a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.
Trend Analysis
Leading Indicator by Parag RautBreakdown of the Leading Indicator:
Linear Regression (LRC):
A linear regression line is used to estimate the current trend direction. When the price is above or below the regression line, it indicates whether the price is deviating from its mean, signaling potential reversals.
Rate of Change (ROC):
ROC measures the momentum of the price over a set period. By using thresholds (positive or negative), we predict that the price will continue in the same direction if momentum is strong enough.
Leading Indicator Calculation:
We calculate the difference between the price and the linear regression line. This is normalized using the standard deviation of price over the same period, giving us a leading signal based on price divergence from the mean trend.
The leading indicator is used to forecast changes in price behavior by identifying when the price is either stretched too far from the mean (indicating a potential reversal) or showing strong momentum in a particular direction (predicting trend continuation).
Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Generated when ROC is above a threshold and the leading indicator shows the price is above the regression line.
Sell Signal: Generated when ROC is below a negative threshold and the leading indicator shows the price is below the regression line.
Visual Representation:
The indicator oscillates around zero. Values above zero signal potential upward price movements, while values below zero signal potential downward movements.
Background colors highlight potential buy (green) and sell (red) areas based on our conditions.
How It Works as a Leading Indicator:
This indicator attempts to predict price movements before they happen by combining the trend (via linear regression) and momentum (via ROC).
When the price significantly diverges from the trendline and momentum supports a continuation, it signals a potential entry point (either buy or sell).
It is leading in that it anticipates price movement before it becomes fully apparent in the market.
Next Steps:
You can adjust the length of the linear regression and ROC to fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to your trading style.
This can be combined with other indicators or used as part of a larger strategy

Fourier For Loop [BackQuant]Fourier For Loop
PLEASE Read the following, as understanding an indicator's functionality is essential before integrating it into a trading strategy. Knowing the core logic behind each tool allows for a sound and strategic approach to trading.
Introducing BackQuant's Fourier For Loop (FFL) — a cutting-edge trading indicator that combines Fourier transforms with a for-loop scoring mechanism. This innovative approach leverages mathematical precision to extract trends and reversals in the market, helping traders make informed decisions. Let's break down the components, rationale, and potential use-cases of this indicator.
Understanding Fourier Transform in Trading
The Fourier Transform decomposes price movements into their frequency components, allowing for a detailed analysis of cyclical behavior in the market. By transforming the price data from the time domain into the frequency domain, this indicator identifies underlying patterns that traditional methods may overlook.
In this script, Fourier transforms are applied to the specified calculation source (defaulted to HLC3). The transformation yields magnitude values that can be used to score market movements over a defined range. This scoring process helps uncover long and short signals based on relative strength and trend direction.
Why Use Fourier Transforms?
Fourier Transforms excel in identifying recurring cycles and smoothing noisy data, making them ideal for fast-paced markets where price movements may be erratic. They also provide a unique perspective on market volatility, offering traders additional insights beyond standard indicators.
Calculation Logic: For-Loop Scoring Mechanism
The For Loop Scoring mechanism compares the magnitude of each transformed point in the series, summing the results to generate a score. This score forms the backbone of the signal generation system.
Long Signals: Generated when the score surpasses the defined long threshold (default set at 40). This indicates a strong bullish trend, signaling potential upward momentum.
Short Signals: Triggered when the score crosses under the short threshold (default set at -10). This suggests a bearish trend or potential downside risk.'
Thresholds & Customization
The indicator offers customizable settings to fit various trading styles:
Calculation Periods: Control how many periods the Fourier transform covers.
Long/Short Thresholds: Adjust the sensitivity of the signals to match different timeframes or risk preferences.
Visualization Options: Traders can visualize the thresholds, change the color of bars based on trend direction, and even color the background for enhanced clarity.
Trading Applications
This Fourier For Loop indicator is designed to be versatile across various market conditions and timeframes. Some of its key use-cases include:
Cycle Detection: Fourier transforms help identify recurring patterns or cycles, giving traders a head-start on market direction.
Trend Following: The for-loop scoring system helps confirm the strength of trends, allowing traders to enter positions with greater confidence.
Risk Management: With clearly defined long and short signals, traders can manage their positions effectively, minimizing exposure to false signals.
Final Note
Incorporating this indicator into your trading strategy adds a layer of mathematical precision to traditional technical analysis. Be sure to adjust the calculation start/end points and thresholds to match your specific trading style, and remember that no indicator guarantees success. Always backtest thoroughly and integrate the Fourier For Loop into a balanced trading system.

Support Resistance ImportanceThe Support Resistance Importance indicator is designed to highlight key price levels based on the relationship between fractal occurrences and volume distribution within a given price range. By dividing the range into bins, the indicator calculates the total volume traded at each fractal level and normalizes the values for easy visualization. The normalized values represent an "importance score" for each price range, helping traders identify critical support and resistance levels where price action might react.
Key Features:
Fractal Detection:
The indicator detects Williams Fractals, which are specific price patterns representing potential market reversals. It identifies both upward fractals (potential resistance) and downward fractals (potential support).
Price Range Binning:
The price range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (default is 20). Each bin represents a segment of the total price range, allowing the indicator to bucket price action and track fractal volumes in each bin.
Volume-Based Importance Calculation:
For each bin, the indicator sums up the volume traded at the time a fractal occurred. The volumes are then normalized to reflect their relative importance.
The importance score is calculated as the relative volume in each bin, representing the potential influence of that price range. Higher scores indicate stronger support or resistance levels.
Normalization:
The volume data is normalized to allow for better comparison across bins. This normalization ensures that the highest and lowest volumes are scaled between 0 and 1 for visualization purposes. The smallest volume value is used to scale the rest, ensuring meaningful comparisons.
Visualization:
The indicator provides a table-based visualization showing the price range and the corresponding importance score for each bin.
Each bin is color-coded based on the normalized importance score, with blue or greenish shades indicating higher importance levels. The current price range is highlighted to help traders quickly identify relevant areas of interest.
Trading Utility:
Traders can use the importance scores to identify price levels where significant volume has accumulated at fractals. A higher importance score suggests a stronger likelihood of the price reacting to that level.
If a price moves towards a bin with a high score and the bins above it have much smaller values, it suggests that the price may "pump" up to the next high-scored range, similar to how price drops can occur.
Example Use Case:
Suppose the price approaches a bin with an importance score of 25, and the bins above have much smaller values. This suggests that price may break higher towards the next significant level of resistance, offering traders an opportunity to capitalize on the move by entering long positions or adjusting their stop losses.
This indicator is particularly useful for support and resistance trading, where understanding key levels of price action and volume can improve decision-making in anticipating market reactions.
Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA [QuantAlgo]Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA by QuantAlgo 📈💫
Introducing the Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) , a powerful trend-following indicator that combines trend detection with dynamic volatility adjustments. This indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify market trends while accounting for price volatility, making it suitable for a wide range of assets and timeframes. By integrating LSMA for trend analysis and Average True Range (ATR) for volatility control, this tool provides clearer signals during both trending and volatile market conditions.
💡 Core Concept and Innovation
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA leverages the precision of the LSMA to track market trends and combines it with the sensitivity of the ATR to account for market volatility. LSMA fits a linear regression line to price data, providing a smoothed trend line that is less reactive to short-term noise. The ATR, on the other hand, dynamically adjusts the volatility bands around the LSMA, allowing the indicator to filter out false signals and respond to significant price moves. This combination provides traders with a reliable tool to identify trend shifts while managing risk in volatile markets.
📊 Technical Breakdown and Calculations
The indicator consists of the following components:
1. Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA): The LSMA calculates a linear regression line over a defined period to smooth out price fluctuations and reveal the underlying trend. It is more reactive to recent data than traditional moving averages, allowing for quicker trend detection.
2. ATR-Based Volatility Bands: The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility and creates upper and lower bands around the LSMA. These bands expand and contract based on market conditions, helping traders identify when price movements are significant enough to indicate a new trend.
3. Volatility Extensions: To further account for rapid market changes, the bands are extended using additional volatility measures. This ensures that trend signals are generated when price movements exceed both the standard volatility range and the extended volatility range.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. LSMA Calculation: The LSMA is computed using a least squares regression method over a user-defined length. This provides a trend line that adapts to recent price movements while smoothing out noise.
2. ATR and Volatility Bands: ATR is calculated over a user-defined length and is multiplied by a factor to create upper and lower bands around the LSMA. These bands help detect when price movements are substantial enough to signal a new trend.
3. Trend Detection: The price’s relationship to the LSMA and the volatility bands is used to determine trend direction. If the price crosses above the upper volatility band, a bullish trend is detected. Conversely, a cross below the lower band indicates a bearish trend.
✅ Customizable Inputs and Features:
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA offers a variety of customizable options to suit different trading or investing styles:
📈 Trend Settings:
1. LSMA Length: Adjust the length of the LSMA to control its sensitivity to price changes. A shorter length reacts quickly to new data, while a longer length smooths the trend line.
2. Price Source: Choose the type of price (e.g., close, high, low) that the LSMA uses to calculate trends, allowing for different interpretations of price data.
🌊 Volatility Controls:
ATR Length and Multiplier: Adjust the length and sensitivity of the ATR to control how volatility is measured. A higher ATR multiplier widens the bands, making the trend detection less sensitive, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands, increasing sensitivity.
🎨 Visualization and Alerts:
1. Bar Coloring: Customize bar colors to visually distinguish between uptrends and downtrends.
2. Volatility Bands: Enable or disable the display of volatility bands on the chart. The bands provide visual cues about trend strength and volatility thresholds.
3. Alerts: Set alerts for when the price crosses the upper or lower volatility bands, signaling potential trend changes.
📈 Practical Applications
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA is ideal for traders and investors looking to follow trends while accounting for market volatility. Its key use cases include:
Identifying Trend Reversals: The indicator detects when price movements break through volatility bands, signaling potential trend reversals.
Filtering Market Noise: By applying ATR-based volatility filtering, the indicator helps reduce false signals caused by short-term price fluctuations.
Managing Risk: The volatility bands adjust dynamically to account for market conditions, helping traders manage risk and improve the accuracy of their trend-following strategies.
⭐️ Summary
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA by QuantAlgo offers a robust and flexible approach to trend detection and volatility management. Its combination of LSMA and ATR creates clearer, more reliable signals, making it a valuable tool for navigating trending and volatile markets. Whether you're detecting trend shifts or filtering market noise, this indicator provides the tools you need to enhance your trading and investing strategy.
Note: The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA is a tool to enhance market analysis. It should be used in conjunction with other analytical tools and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trading or investment decisions. No signals or indicators constitute financial advice, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Support and Resistance HeatmapThe "Support and Resistance Heatmap" indicator is designed to identify key support and resistance levels in the price action by using pivots and ATR (Average True Range) to define the sensitivity of zone detection. The zones are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, representing areas where the price has shown significant interaction. The indicator features a customizable heatmap to visualize the intensity of these zones, making it a powerful tool for technical analysis.
Features:
Dynamic Support and Resistance Zones:
Identifies potential support and resistance areas based on price pivots.
Zones are defined by ATR-based thresholds, making them adaptive to market volatility.
Customization Options:
Heatmap Visualization: Toggle the heatmap on/off to view the strength of each zone.
Sensitivity Control: Modify the zone sensitivity with the ATR Multiplier to increase or decrease zone detection precision.
Confirmations: Set how many touches a level needs before it is confirmed as a zone.
Extended Zone Visualization:
Option to extend the zones for better long-term visibility.
Ability to limit the number of zones displayed to avoid clutter on the chart.
Color-Coded Zones:
Color-coded zones help differentiate between bullish (support) and bearish (resistance) levels, providing visual clarity for traders.
Heatmap Integration:
Gradient-based color changes on levels show the intensity of touches, helping traders understand which zones are more reliable.
Inputs and Settings:
1. Settings Group:
Length:
Determines the number of bars used for the pivot lookback. This directly affects how frequently new zones are formed.
Sensitivity:
Controls the sensitivity of the zone calculation using ATR (Average True Range). A higher value will result in fewer, larger zones, while a lower value increases the number of detected zones.
Confirmations:
Sets the number of price touches needed before a level is confirmed as a support/resistance zone. Lower values will result in more zones.
2. Visual Group:
Extend Zones:
Option to extend the support and resistance lines across the chart for better visibility over time.
Max Zones to Display (maxZonesToShow):
Limits the maximum number of zones shown on the chart to avoid clutter.
3. Heatmap Group:
Show Heatmap:
Toggle the heatmap display on/off. When enabled, the script visualizes the strength of the zones using color intensity.
Core Logic:
Pivot Calculation:
The script identifies support and resistance zones by using the pivotHigh and pivotLow functions. These pivots are calculated using a lookback period, which defines the number of candles to the left and right of the pivot point.
ATR-Based Threshold:
ATR (Average True Range) is used to create dynamic zones based on volatility. The ATR acts as a buffer around the identified pivot points, creating zones that are more flexible and adaptable to market conditions.
Merging Zones:
If two zones are close to each other (within a certain threshold), they are merged into a single zone. This reduces overlapping zones and gives a cleaner visual representation of significant price levels.
Confirmation Mechanism:
Each time the price touches a zone, the confirmation counter for that zone increases. The more confirmations a zone has, the more reliable it is. Zones are only displayed if they meet the required number of confirmations as specified by the user.
Color Gradient:
Zones are color-coded based on the number of confirmations. A gradient is used to visually represent the strength of each zone, with stronger zones being more vividly colored.
Heatmap Visualization:
When the heatmap is enabled, the color intensity of the zones is adjusted based on the proximity of the price to the zone and the number of touches the zone has received. This helps traders quickly identify which zones are more critical.
How to Use:
Identifying Support and Resistance Zones:
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see horizontal lines representing key support (bullish) and resistance (bearish) levels. These zones are dynamically updated based on price action and pivots.
Adjusting Zone Sensitivity:
Use the "ATR Multiplier" to fine-tune how sensitive the indicator is to price fluctuations. A higher multiplier will reduce the number of zones, focusing on more significant levels.
Using Confirmations:
The more times a price interacts with a zone, the stronger that zone becomes. Use the "Confirmations" input to filter out weaker zones. This ensures that only zones with enough interaction (touches) are plotted.
Activating the Heatmap:
Enabling the heatmap will provide a color-coded visual representation of the strength of the zones. Zones with more price interactions will appear more vividly, helping you focus on the most significant areas.
Best Practices:
Combine with Other Indicators:
This support and resistance indicator works well when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) or moving averages, for better trade confirmations.
Adjust Sensitivity Based on Market Conditions:
In volatile markets, you may want to increase the ATR multiplier to focus on more significant support and resistance zones. In calmer markets, decreasing the multiplier can help you spot smaller, but relevant, levels.
Use in Different Time Frames:
This indicator can be used effectively across different time frames, from intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts) to longer-term analysis on daily or weekly charts.
Look for Confluences:
Zones that overlap with other indicators, such as Fibonacci retracements or key moving averages, tend to be more reliable. Use the zones in conjunction with other forms of analysis to increase your confidence in trade setups.
Limitations and Considerations:
False Breakouts:
In highly volatile markets, there may be false breakouts where the price briefly moves through a zone without a sustained trend. Consider combining this indicator with momentum-based tools to avoid false signals.
Sensitivity to ATR Settings:
The ATR multiplier is a key component of this indicator. Adjusting it too high or too low may result in too few or too many zones, respectively. It is important to fine-tune this setting based on your specific trading style and market conditions.
Volume Performance Table (Weekdays Only)This is a volume performance table that compares the volume from the previous trading day to the average daily volume from the previous week, month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month period in order to show where the rate of change of volume is contributing to the price trend.
For example, if the price trend is bullish and volume is accelerating, that is a bullish confirmation.
If the price is bearish and volume is accelerating, that is a bearish confirmation.
If the price is bullish and volume is decelerating, that is a bearish divergence.
If the price is bearish and volume is decelerating, that is a bullish divergence.
This does not include weekend trading when applied to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies.
FVG Channel [LuxAlgo]The FVG Channel indicator displays a channel constructed from the averages of unmitigated historical fair value gaps (FVG), allowing to identify trends and potential reversals in the market.
Users can control the amount of FVGs to consider for the calculation of the channels, as well as their degree of smoothness through user settings.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Channel is constructed by averaging together recent unmitigated Bullish FVGs (contributing to the creation of the upper bands), and Bearish unmitigated FVGs (contributing to the creation of the lower bands) within a lookback determined by the user. A higher lookback will return longer-term indications from the indicator.
The channel includes 5 bands, with one upper and one lower outer extremities, as well as an inner series of values determined using the Fibonacci ratios (respectively 0.786, 0.5, 0.236) from the channel's outer extremities.
An uptrend can be identified by price holding above the inner upper band (obtained from the 0.786 ratio), this band can also provide occasional support when the price retraces to it while in an uptrend.
Breaking below the inner upper band with an unwillingness to reach above again is a clear sign of hesitation in the market and can be indicative of an upcoming consolidation or reversal.
This can directly be applied to downtrends as well, below are examples displaying both scenarios.
Uptrend Example:
Downtrend Example:
🔹 Breakout Levels
When the price mitigates all FVGs in a single direction except for 1, the indicator will display a "Breakout Level". This is the level that price will need to cross in order for all FVGs in that direction to be mitigated, because of this they can also be aptly called "Last Stand Levels".
These levels can be considered as potential support and resistance levels, however, should always be monitored for breakouts since a substantial push above or below these points would indicate strong momentum.
🔹 Signals
The indicator includes Bullish and Bearish Signals, these signals fire when all FVGs for a single direction have been mitigated and an engulfing candle occurs in the opposite direction. These are reversal signals and should be used alongside other indicators to appropriately manage risk.
Note: When all FVGs in a single direction have been mitigated, the candles will change colors accordingly.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects and stores the mitigation levels of the respective bullish and bearish FVGs:
For Bullish FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Bearish FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed to only consider a specific amount of FVG mitigation levels, determined by the set "Unmitigated FVG Lookback". If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the memory is full, the oldest will be deleted.
The averages displayed (Channel Upper and Lower) are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent obtained averages.
Note: To view the mitigation levels average obtained in the first step, the "Smoothing Length" can be set to 1.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVG mitigation levels that the script will use to calculate the channel.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the channel to reduce noise from the raw data.

Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation [QuantAlgo]Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation by QuantAlgo 📈✨
Introducing the Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation , a comprehensive trend-following indicator designed to combine the smoothness of an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the volatility adjustments of Average True Range (ATR) and Standard Deviation. This synergy allows traders and investors to better identify market trends while accounting for volatility, delivering clearer signals in both trending and volatile market conditions. This indicator is suitable for traders and investors seeking to balance trend detection and volatility management, offering a robust and adaptable approach across various asset classes and timeframes.
💫 Core Concept and Innovation
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation brings together the trend-smoothing properties of the EMA and the volatility sensitivity of ATR and Standard Deviation. By using the EMA to track price movements over time, the indicator smooths out minor fluctuations while still providing valuable insights into overall market direction. However, market volatility can sometimes distort simple moving averages, so the ATR and Standard Deviation components dynamically adjust the trend signals, offering more nuanced insights into trend strength and reversals. This combination equips traders with a powerful tool to navigate unpredictable markets while minimizing false signals.
📊 Technical Breakdown and Calculations
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation relies on three key technical components:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA forms the base of the trend detection. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA), the EMA gives more weight to recent price changes, allowing it to react more quickly to new data. Users can adjust the length of the EMA to make it more or less responsive to price movements.
2. Standard Deviation Bands: These bands are calculated from the standard deviation of the EMA and represent dynamic volatility thresholds. The upper and lower bands expand or contract based on recent price volatility, providing more accurate signals in both calm and volatile markets.
3. ATR-Based Volatility Filter: The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility over a user-defined period. It helps refine the trend signals by filtering out false positives caused by minor price swings. The ATR filter ensures that the indicator only signals significant market movements.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. EMA Calculation: First, the indicator calculates the EMA over a specified period based on the chosen price source (e.g., close, high, low).
2. Standard Deviation Bands: Then, it computes the standard deviation of the EMA and applies a multiplier to create upper and lower bands around the EMA. These bands adjust dynamically with the level of market volatility.
3. ATR Filtering: In addition to the standard deviation bands, the ATR is applied as a secondary filter to help refine the trend signals. This step helps eliminate signals generated by short-term price spikes or corrections, ensuring that the signals are more reliable.
4. Trend Detection: When the price crosses above the upper band, a bullish trend is identified, while a move below the lower band signals a bearish trend. The system accounts for both the standard deviation and ATR bands to generate these signals.
✅ Customizable Inputs and Features
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation provides a range of customizable options to fit various trading/investing styles:
📈 Trend Settings:
1. Price Source: Choose the price type (e.g., close, high, low) to base the EMA calculation on, influencing how the trend is tracked.
2. EMA Length: Adjust the length to control how quickly the EMA reacts to price changes. A shorter length provides a more responsive EMA, while a longer period smooths out short-term fluctuations.
🌊 Volatility Controls:
1. Standard Deviation Multiplier: This parameter controls the sensitivity of the trend detection by adjusting the distance between the upper and lower bands from the EMA.
2. TR Length and Multiplier: Fine-tune the ATR settings to control how volatility is filtered, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness during high or low volatility phases.
🎨 Visualization and Alerts:
1. Bar Coloring: Select different colors for uptrends and downtrends, providing a clear visual cue when trends change.
2. Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when the price crosses the upper or lower bands, signaling a potential long or short trend shift. Alerts can help you stay informed without constant chart monitoring.
📈 Practical Applications
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is ideal for traders and investors looking to balance trend-following strategies with volatility management. Key uses include:
Detecting Trend Reversals: The dynamic bands help identify when the market shifts direction, providing clear signals when a trend reversal is likely.
Filtering Market Noise: By applying both Standard Deviation and ATR filtering, the indicator helps reduce false signals during periods of heightened volatility.
Volatility-Based Risk Management: The adaptability of the bands ensures that traders can manage risk more effectively by responding to shifts in volatility while keeping focus on long-term trends.
⭐️ Comprehensive Summary
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is a highly customizable indicator that provides traders with clearer signals for trend detection and volatility management. By dynamically adjusting its calculations based on market conditions, it offers a powerful tool for navigating both trending and volatile markets. Whether you're looking to detect early trend reversals or avoid false signals during periods of high volatility, this indicator gives you the flexibility and accuracy to improve your trading and investing strategies.
Note: The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is designed to enhance your market analysis but should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trading or investing decisions. Always combine it with other analytical tools and practices. No statements or signals from this indicator constitute financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
KAMA Cloud STIndicator:
Description:
The KAMA Cloud indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed to provide traders with insights into market trends and their intensity. This indicator is built on the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), which dynamically adjusts its sensitivity to filter out market noise and respond to significant price movements. The KAMA Cloud leverages multiple KAMAs to gauge trend direction and strength, offering a visual representation that is easy to interpret.
How It Works:
The KAMA Cloud uses twenty different KAMA calculations, each set to a distinct lookback period ranging from 5 to 100. These KAMAs are calculated using the average of the open, high, low, and close prices (OHLC4), ensuring a balanced view of price action. The relative positioning of these KAMAs helps determine the direction of the market trend and its momentum.
By measuring the cumulative relative distance between these KAMAs, the indicator effectively assesses the overall trend strength, akin to how the Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility. This cumulative measure helps in identifying the trend’s robustness and potential sustainability.
The visualization component of the KAMA Cloud is particularly insightful. It plots a 'cloud' formed between the base KAMA (set at a 100-period lookback) and an adjusted KAMA that incorporates the cumulative relative distance scaled up. This cloud changes color based on the trend direction — green for upward trends and red for downward trends, providing a clear, visual representation of market conditions.
How the Strategy Works:
The KAMA Cloud ST strategy employs multiple KAMA calculations with varying lengths to capture the nuances of market trends. It measures the relative distances between these KAMAs to determine the trend's direction and strength, much like the original indicator. The strategy enhances decision-making by plotting a 'cloud' formed between the base KAMA (set to a 100-period lookback) and an adjusted KAMA that scales according to the cumulative relative distance of all KAMAs.
Key Components of the Strategy:
Multiple KAMA Layers: The strategy calculates KAMAs for periods ranging from 5 to 100 to analyze short to long-term market trends.
Dynamic Cloud: The cloud visually represents the trend’s strength and direction, updating in real-time as the market evolves.
Signal Generation: Trade signals are generated based on the orientation of the cloud relative to a smoothed version of the upper KAMA boundary. Long positions are initiated when the market trend is upward, and the current cloud value is above its smoothed average. Conversely, positions are closed when the trend reverses, indicated by the cloud falling below the smoothed average.

Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels [ChartPrime] The Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels indicator combines a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) with a standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to provide a dynamic view of the market trend. This indicator uses a color-changing cloud to represent shifts in trend momentum and plots key levels when trend reversals are detected. The addition of trend level boxes helps identify significant price zones where market shifts occur, with retest signals aiding in spotting potential continuation or reversal points.
⯁ KEY FEATURES & HOW TO USE
⯌ Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) with EMA Cloud :
The indicator employs a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) alongside a standard EMA.
series float emaValue = ta.ema(close, length) // EMA of the closing price
series float correction = close + (close - emaValue) // Correction factor for zero-lag calculation
series float zlma = ta.ema(correction, length) // Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
The cloud between these averages changes color depending on the trend direction. During a downtrend, if the ZLMA begins to increase, the cloud partially turns green, signaling potential strength. Conversely, during an uptrend, if the ZLMA decreases, the cloud partially turns to the downtrend color (blue by default), indicating potential weakness.
Use : Traders can monitor the cloud's color shifts for early signs of changing momentum. A fully colored cloud aligning with the current trend indicates a strong directional move, while mixed colors suggest a potential trend change.
⯌ Trend Shift and Level Boxes :
Each time a crossover between the EMA and the ZLMA occurs, indicating a trend shift, the indicator plots a box around the price level where the shift occurred. This box remains on the chart to mark the price zone of the trend change.
Use : The boxes provide clear visual markers of where market sentiment shifted. These levels can act as support and resistance zones. Traders can use these boxes to identify potential entry or exit points when the market retests these key levels.
⯌ Retest Detection with Labels :
If the price action crosses a previously plotted trend level box, the indicator marks this event with triangle labels. An upward triangle (▲) appears when the price retests the top of a box during a bullish crossover, and a downward triangle (▼) appears when the price retests the bottom of a box during a bearish crossunder.
Use : These labels help traders identify potential continuation or reversal points at critical price levels, offering additional confirmation for trading decisions.

Hma Swing Points | viResearchHma Swing Points | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Hma Swing Points" script introduces a simple yet effective method for identifying key swing points in the market using Hull Moving Averages (HMA). The Hull Moving Average is a faster and smoother alternative to traditional moving averages, making it ideal for detecting significant price swings. By applying HMA to both high and low prices, the script identifies swing highs and lows, providing traders with visual cues for potential trend reversals or continuations. This approach helps traders recognize turning points in the market with minimal lag, allowing for more precise entries and exits.
Technical Composition and Calculation
This script uses two Hull Moving Averages—one for the high prices and another for the low prices. These HMAs offer smoother trend detection while filtering out market noise. The script identifies the highest and lowest HMA values over a user-defined lookback period to determine the swing high and swing low points. Long signals are generated when the current HMA of the highs matches the highest value within the lookback period, while short signals are generated when the HMA of the lows matches the lowest value. These signals are plotted on the chart, and alerts can be set to notify the trader of possible entry or exit points.
Features and User Inputs
The script offers several customizable inputs to adjust its sensitivity and behavior according to the trader’s preferences. The lookback period defines the number of bars used to calculate the highest and lowest HMA values, allowing traders to control how responsive the script is to price changes. The length of the Hull Moving Average can also be modified, giving traders flexibility in smoothing the indicator. Additionally, optional bar color settings provide visual cues, with bullish and bearish trends highlighted. Alerts are included to notify traders when long or short swing points are detected, ensuring they are informed even when not actively monitoring the chart.
Practical Applications
The "Hma Swing Points" script is useful for traders who aim to identify critical market turning points and potential reversals. It is especially effective in trending markets where price swings present trading opportunities. Traders can use the script to detect reversals by spotting swing points that indicate a possible shift from bullish to bearish trends, or vice versa. The script also helps confirm ongoing trends by showing the strength of swings, allowing traders to make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades. Its ability to mark precise swing points enhances trade timing, helping traders optimize their entries and exits.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The script offers a streamlined approach to detecting swing points with the speed and smoothness of the Hull Moving Average. This makes it easier to filter out false signals and noise, improving the accuracy of trend identification. The customizable inputs allow traders to tailor the script for different assets and market conditions, making it versatile for various trading styles. By highlighting key swing points, the script provides traders with clear visual signals for potential reversals and trend confirmations, enhancing their ability to follow and act on market movements.

Magic Touch Line DetectorSummary of the Magic Touch Line Detector Script:
Purpose:
The Magic Touch Line Detector script is designed to identify significant price points in the market by analyzing candlestick wicks and bodies. It plots lines based on the detected wicks, classifying them as either ascending or descending. The script tracks how frequently price touches these lines and highlights the "most touched" lines for both ascending and descending categories. This script is particularly useful for traders looking to identify key price levels and trends over time.
How It Works:
Wick and Body Detection:
The script starts by analyzing the highs and lows of candlestick wicks relative to their bodies over a user-defined lookback period. A significant wick is identified based on a specified wick-to-body ratio and a deviation threshold measured against the Average True Range (ATR).
Line Creation:
Once a significant upper or lower wick is detected, the script calculates unconventional highs and lows (i.e., points that differ from the absolute highs and lows of the lookback period). Lines are then drawn from these unconventional price points using the slope between the detected wick and the current bar, ensuring a smooth extension.
Line Refinement and Touch Tracking:
As new bars are added, the script tracks how often the price touches the previously drawn lines. The number of touches each line receives is counted and updated in real-time, and the script ensures that only the most touched line is highlighted.
Highlighting and Labeling:
For each category (ascending and descending), the most touched line is identified and given special highlighting with thicker lines and different colors. Labels are also generated to show the number of touches that the most touched line has received. Old labels are cleared to avoid clutter.
Explanation of the Settings:
Lookback Period for Highs and Lows:
This sets the number of bars the script will use to detect the highest highs and lowest lows. A larger lookback period gives the script a broader context to work with, potentially identifying more significant price points.
Minimum Wick-to-Body Ratio:
This ratio determines what qualifies as a "significant" wick. It compares the length of the wick to the body of the candle. A higher ratio means that only wicks that are much longer than the candle body will be considered significant.
Price Deviation Threshold (in ATR multiples):
This setting controls how much price deviation from the ATR is required for a wick to be deemed significant. It acts as a filter to reduce noise by ignoring smaller wicks that are within normal price movements.
Line Touch Tolerance Factor (ATR multiple):
When checking if a price touches a line, the script uses this setting to define how close the price must be to the line to count as a "touch." This tolerance is a multiplier of the ATR, allowing for some flexibility in what is considered a touch.
Price Difference Threshold:
This defines the minimum price difference required to plot a line. If the price difference between the high and low of a detected wick is too small, the script can avoid plotting a line for insignificant moves.
Slope Adjustment Multiplier:
This multiplier adjusts the slope of the lines that are drawn from detected price points. It affects the length and angle of the lines, allowing users to control how far and at what angle the lines should extend across the chart.
Customization Options:
Show Ascending/Descending Lines:
These toggles allow users to decide whether ascending (bullish) or descending (bearish) lines should be shown on the chart.
Line Color, Style, and Width (for Ascending and Descending Lines):
These settings give users control over how the lines appear visually. You can customize the color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width of both ascending and descending lines.
Most Touched Line Color:
Users can define a different color for the "most touched" line, which is automatically identified by the script. This setting helps highlight the line that has been interacted with the most by the price.
How to Use the Script:
Setup the Lookback Period and Deviation Filters:
Start by setting the lookback period and the filters for wick-to-body ratio and deviation threshold. These settings help control the script's sensitivity to market movements.
Refine the Tolerance and Slope:
Adjust the line touch tolerance and slope adjustment multiplier to control how closely the script tracks price touches and how the lines are extended on the chart.
Customize Visuals:
Once the lines are being drawn, customize the colors, styles, and widths to ensure the lines are easy to read on your chart. You can also decide if you want to display both ascending and descending lines or focus on just one.
By setting up the script based on these inputs and parameters, you can get a real-time view of significant price levels and how often the price interacts with them, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
