Silen's EMA AreasAre you tired of reading candles? 🧨 Do you want to bring more meaning to your chart? 🧹
Then this is the script for you!
This script does:
- Add several meaningfully pre-configured EMA lines to your chart - up to EMA 300
- Colors the areas between EMA lines in 3d colors - green and red
- The Smaller the EMA, the firmer the color
- Highlights the EMA 300 in a golden color
What is the meaning of this?
Let me introduce a new word to you: EMA FOLDING .
Yes, you heard right. With this indicator you can see in 3D how EMA lines are folding above and below each other, indicating severe mood swings in the chart.
This helps you keep track of what your instrument is actually doing while it enables you to cancel out the noise and messyness of ordinary candles which can be quite random and hard to read.
Once an EMA is fully positive or negatively folded (all ema lines are green and above each other from largest EMA to smallest EMA and vice versa for negatively folded) you can be sure that you are in a Trend or certain mood (for higher timeframes, from 15mins on).
I don't ever want to read any chart without having this indicator on. Whenever I present charts to anybody I use this indicator - and the feedback is insanely positive. People tend to read and understand charts much better with this indicator than just staring at candles.
Why is this indicator different to other EMA indicators and should thereby not be deleted by the TradingView Team due to redundance with other EMA indicators?
- This is not a simple indicator for EMAs
- Rather, this is an indicator to better and easier read the whole chart
- You can detect mood swings very easily which is very hard to do with a normal EMA indicator
- I haven't found any EMA indicator on TradingView that does this job so i sincerely believe it is extremely unique
- I sincerely believe it can help people get a much better understanding of charts without actualy getting into details of EMA's or even needing to know what an EMA is.
This indicator isn't intended for trading purposes, rather it is intended to give you a better and easier understanding of the chart. Of course - you can also use it for your trading but like I said, that is not the primary intended purpose.
This indicator comes pre-configured with quite optimal values (in my opinion) but of course can be fully customized. 🧮

Engulfing Pattern & Impulse [UAlgo]The Engulfing Pattern & Impulse is a tool designed for technical traders who utilize price action and volume analysis to assess market trends and potential reversals. This indicator identifies two powerful trading signals: Engulfing Patterns and Volume Impulses, which are essential components for evaluating potential bullish or bearish market momentum.
Engulfing Patterns are classic candlestick formations often associated with reversals or trend continuations, depending on the overall trend context. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish engulfing patterns based on configurable criteria such as trend detection settings, comparison with average body size, and a customizable body multiplier for validation. The Volume Impulse feature signals moments of significant volume compared to historical levels, which often precede substantial price movements. Together, these features provide traders with a versatile tool for better timing entry and exit points.
The indicator also offers an adaptive trend detection system, allowing traders to choose from multiple methods (e.g., SMA50 or SMA50/SMA200 combinations) to assess the trend context, making it ideal for various market conditions.
🔶Key Features
Engulfing Pattern Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with customizable parameters, including body length and average size comparison.
Configurable trend basis: Choose between SMA50 or SMA50 with SMA200 to define trend direction.
Body size multiplier: Adjust the size threshold for valid engulfing patterns, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Volume Impulse Signal: Highlights volume spikes that meet or exceed a specified multiplier, which can indicate increased buying or selling interest.
Customizable volume period and multiplier: Allows you to tailor the volume impulse detection based on the instrument’s average volume behavior.
Trend Detection Options: Select different trend detection methods to suit various trading styles and instruments.
SMA50-based detection: Classifies the trend based on the position of price relative to the 50-period SMA.
SMA50 and SMA200 combination: Incorporates a dual-moving average approach, classifying trends based on the relationship between price, SMA50, and SMA200.
Enhanced Visualization: Distinguishes bullish and bearish signals with customizable colors, providing clear and immediate visual cues for easy interpretation.
Custom label colors: Allows you to set distinct colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals for quick identification.
Pattern filtering: Enable or disable specific patterns (Bullish, Bearish, or Both) based on your trading preferences.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bullish reversal in a downtrend. This signal occurs when a white candlestick with a body size exceeding a specified multiplier completely engulfs the previous black candlestick. The pattern will display a “BE” label below the candle if it meets the criteria, signaling potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates a potential bearish reversal in an uptrend. A black candlestick with a body size exceeding the specified multiplier fully engulfs the previous white candlestick, signaling possible downward movement. The “BE” label appears above the candle to denote this pattern.
Volume Impulse Up: Displays a “VI” label below the candle when the volume surpasses the defined multiplier, and the price closes higher than it opened, indicating strong upward buying interest.
Volume Impulse Down: Displays a “VI” label above the candle when the volume meets or exceeds the specified threshold, and the price closes lower than it opened, signaling strong selling pressure.
Indicator uses the SMA50 and SMA200 to determine trend direction due to their popularity in technical analysis as indicators of medium- and long-term trends. The SMA50 reflects the average price over the past 50 periods, providing insight into intermediate trends, while the SMA200 is often used to identify the broader trend direction. These SMAs help traders quickly assess whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation phase, enhancing decision-making for both short-term and long-term strategies.

E9 PLRRThe E9 PLRR (Power Law Residual Ratio) is a custom-built indicator designed to evaluate the overvaluation or undervaluation of an asset, specifically by utilizing logarithmic price data and a power law-based model. It leverages a dynamic regression technique to assess the deviation of the current price from its expected value, giving insights into how much the price deviates from its long-term trend.
This indicator is primarily used to detect market extremes and cycles, often used in the analysis of long-term price movements in assets like Bitcoin, where cyclical behavior and significant price deviations are common.
This chart is back from 2019 and shows (From left to right) 2018 Bear market bottom at $3.5k (Dark Blue) , following a peak at 12k (dark red) before the Covid crash back down to EUROTLX:4K (Dark blue)
Key Components
Logarithmic Price Data:
The indicator works with logarithmic price data (ohlc4), which represents the average of open, high, low, and close prices. The logarithmic transformation is crucial in financial modeling, especially when analyzing long-term price data, as it normalizes exponential price growth patterns.
Dynamic Exponent 𝑘:
The model calculates a dynamic exponent k using regression, which defines the power law relationship between time and price. This exponent is essential in determining the expected power law price return and how far the current price deviates from that expected trend.
Power Law Price Return:
The power law price return is computed using the dynamic exponent
k over a defined period, such as 365 days (1 year). It represents the theoretical price return based on a power law relationship, which is used to compare against the actual logarithmic price data.
Risk-Free Rate:
The indicator incorporates an adjustable risk-free rate, allowing users to model the opportunity cost of holding an asset compared to risk-free alternatives. By default, the risk-free rate is set to 0%, but this can be modified depending on the user's requirements.
Volatility Adjustment:
A key feature of the PLRR is its ability to adjust for price volatility. The indicator smooths out short-term price fluctuations using a moving average, helping to detect longer-term cycles and trends.
PLRR Calculation:
The core of the indicator is the calculation of the Power Law Residual Ratio (PLRR). This is derived by subtracting the expected power law price return and risk-free rate from the logarithmic price return, then multiplying the result by a user-defined multiplier.
Color Gradient:
The PLRR values are represented visually using a color gradient. This gradient helps the user quickly identify whether the asset is in an undervalued, fair value, or overvalued state:
Dark Blue to Light Blue: Indicates undervaluation, with increasing blue tones representing a higher degree of undervaluation.
Green to Yellow: Represents fair value, where the price is aligned with the expected power law return.
Orange to Dark Red: Indicates overvaluation, with increasing red tones representing a higher degree of overvaluation.
Zero Line:
A zero line is plotted on the indicator chart, serving as a reference point. Values above the zero line suggest potential overvaluation, while values below indicate potential undervaluation.
Dots Visualization:
The PLRR is plotted using dots, with each dot color-coded based on the PLRR value. This dot-based visualization makes it easier to spot significant changes or reversals in market sentiment without overwhelming the user with continuous lines.
Bar Coloring:
The chart’s bars are colored in accordance with the PLRR value at each point in time, making it visually clear when an asset is potentially overvalued or undervalued.
Indicator Functionality
Cycle Identification : The E9 PLRR is especially useful for identifying cyclical market behavior. In assets like Bitcoin, which are known for their boom-bust cycles, the PLRR can help pinpoint when the market is likely entering a peak (overvaluation) or a trough (undervaluation).
Overvaluation and Undervaluation Detection: By comparing the current price to its expected power law return, the PLRR helps traders assess whether an asset is trading above or below its fair value. This is critical for long-term investors seeking to enter the market at undervalued levels and exit during periods of overvaluation.
Trend Following: The indicator helps users identify the broader trend by smoothing out short-term volatility. This makes it useful for both momentum traders looking to ride trends and contrarian traders seeking to capitalize on market extremes.
Customization
The E9 PLRR allows users to fine-tune several parameters based on their preferences or specific market conditions:
Lookback Period:
The user can adjust the lookback period (default: 100) to modify how the moving average and regression are calculated.
Risk-Free Rate:
Adjusting the risk-free rate allows for more realistic modeling of the opportunity cost of holding the asset.
Multiplier:
The multiplier (default: 5.688) amplifies the sensitivity of the PLRR, allowing users to adjust how aggressively the indicator responds to price movements.
This indicator was inspired by the works of Ashwin & PlanG and their work around powerLaw. Thank you. I hall be working on the calculation of this indicator moving forward to make improvements and optomisations.
Dynamic Touch Trendlines [QuantVue]The Dynamic Touch Trendlines (DTT) indicator automatically draws and manages trendlines on your chart, helping traders identify key support and resistance levels.
What sets the DTT indicator apart from other trendline indicators is its ability to let traders customize the number of touches required to validate a trendline. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune the indicator for different markets or trading styles, ensuring only strong trendlines with the specified number of touches are considered valid.
This indicator features both uptrend lines (drawn from pivot lows) and downtrend lines (drawn from pivot highs), making it suitable for detecting bullish and bearish trends.
An uptrend line connects three (default setting) or more significant lows, showing where price has historically found support. Traders often look for price to bounce off this line during pullbacks in an uptrend.
When price breaks below an uptrend line, it suggests a weakening of the bullish trend. This could mean that buyers are losing strength, and the market may be transitioning into a bearish phase, providing a potential opportunity for traders to enter short positions or exit long positions.
Conversely, a downtrend line connects three (default setting) or more significant highs, indicating potential resistance in a downtrend. Price action below this line can signal continued bearish momentum.
When price breaks above a downtrend line, it indicates a potential reversal of the bearish trend. This can signal the end of selling pressure and the beginning of a new bullish phase, offering traders a potential opportunity to enter long positions.
Key settings:
Minimum Touches: This sets the number of price touches required to validate a trendline. Increasing the minimum touches filters out weaker trends, ensuring that only more reliable trendlines are drawn.
Buffer: The buffer is used to account for minor price overshoots or near misses relative to the trendline. It creates a margin around the trendline, allowing price to come close to the line—whether it overshoots slightly or falls just short—and still count as a valid touch. This helps ensure that small price fluctuations or market noise don’t prevent valid trendline touches from being recognized, making the trendlines more reliable.
Trendline Break Source: Allows traders to define how a trendline is considered broken—either based on the close of the price bar or the wicks (highs and lows) of the price action.
The DTT indicator also features alerts whenever a new trendline is detected or an existing trendline is broken!

Past performance is not indicative of future results, and traders should exercise caution and perform their own due diligence before making any trading decisions.
Dynamic Candle StrengthHow It Works
Initialization of Dynamic Levels:
The first candle's high and low are taken as the initial dynamic high and dynamic low levels.
If the next candle's close price is above the dynamic high, the candle is colored green, indicating bullish conditions.
If the next candle's close price is below the dynamic low, the candle is colored black, indicating bearish conditions.
If a candle's high and low crossed both the dynamic high and dynamic low, the dynamic high and low levels are updated to the high and low of that candle, but the candle color will continue with the same color as the previous candle.
Maintaining and Updating Dynamic Levels:
The dynamic high and low are only updated if a candle's close is above the current dynamic high or below the current dynamic low.
If the candle does not close above or below these levels, the dynamic high and low remain unchanged.
Visual Signals:
Green Bars: Indicate that the candle's close is above the dynamic high, suggesting bullish conditions.
Black Bars: Indicate that the candle's close is below the dynamic low, suggesting bearish conditions.
This method ensures that the dynamic high and low levels are adjusted in real-time based on the most recent significant price movements, providing a reliable measure of market sentiment.
SuperThreeThe SuperThree is a comprehensive technical indicator designed to identify and visualize market trends and counter-trend momentum in trading. It uses a unique color-coding system to represent different market conditions and potential trading opportunities.
Uptrend (Green Fill) : This is indicated by a green fill. An uptrend is a period where prices are increasing overall, suggesting a strong market. It’s an ideal time for traders to consider entering long positions or exiting short positions.
Downtrend (Red Fill) : This is represented by a red fill. A downtrend is a period where prices are decreasing overall, indicating a bearish market. Traders might consider entering short positions or exiting long positions during this phase.
Sideways Trend (Blue Fill) : This is shown by a blue fill. A sideways trend, also known as a horizontal trend, is when the price is relatively stable and not making significant upward or downward movements. It’s often a period of consolidation before the price moves up or down.
Counter-Trend Momentum (Blue Arrows) : Blue arrows indicate counter-trend momentum, which can be a signal to exit trades or look for potential trend reversals. These are crucial points where the market’s momentum is shifting and may be about to move in the opposite direction.
The SuperThree indicator is an enhancement of the Supertrend indicator, providing additional features and visual cues to help traders make informed decisions. However, like all indicators, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to confirm signals and avoid potential false positives. Always consider your risk tolerance and investment goals before making trading decisions.
Happy trading! 😊
Trend Following Parabolic Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The Trend Following Parabolic Buy-Sell Strategy leverages the Parabolic SAR in combination with moving average crossovers to deliver buy and sell signals within a trend-following framework.
This strategy synthesizes proven methodologies sourced from various trading tutorials available on platforms such as YouTube and blogs, enabling traders to conduct robust backtesting on their selected trading pairs to assess the strategy's effectiveness.
HOW IT WORKS
This strategy employs four key indicators to orchestrate its trading signals:
1. Trend Alignment: It first assesses the relationship between the price and the predominant trendline to determine the directional stance—taking long positions only when the price trends above the moving average, signaling an upward market trajectory.
2. Momentum Confirmation: Subsequent to trend alignment, the strategy looks for moving average crossovers as a confirmation that the price is gaining momentum in the direction of the intended trades.
3. Signal Finalization: Finally, buy or sell signals are validated using the Parabolic SAR indicator. A long order is validated when the closing price is above the Parabolic SAR dots, and similarly, conditions are reversed for short orders.
4. Risk Management: The strategy institutes a fixed stop-loss at the moving average trendline and a take-profit level determinable by a prefixed risk-reward ratio calculated from the moving average trendline. These parameters are customizable by the users within the strategy settings.
APPLICATION
Designed for assets exhibiting pronounced directional momentum, this strategy aims to capitalize on clear trend movements conducive to achieving set take-profit targets.
As a lagging strategy that waits for multiple confirmatory signals, entry into trades might occasionally lag beyond optimal timing.
Furthermore, in periods of consolidation or sideways movement, the strategy may generate several false signals, suggesting the potential need for additional market condition filters to enhance signal accuracy during volatile phases.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000

Multi Timeframe Trend Screener [TradeDots]The "Multi Timeframe Trend Screener" is a trading indicator designed to assist traders in identifying the market trends of multiple assets within a single panel. This tool is invaluable for detecting shifts in trends, enabling traders to easily adjust their strategies under different market conditions.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Upon initialization, the indicator requires users to input two key pieces of information:
The assets to be monitored.
The timeframes to be analyzed.
The tool is capable of simultaneously tracking up to four assets across five distinct timeframes.
By specifying the type and length of the moving average, the indicator uses this data as a baseline to determine the current market trend.
A price movement below the moving average triggers a downward trend symbol (📉), indicating bearish conditions.
Conversely, a movement above the moving average displays an upward trend symbol (📈), signaling bullish conditions.
The aggregation of moving averages across various timeframes provides a comprehensive view of the overall market sentiment.
APPLICATION
In scenarios where the market consistently demonstrates an upward trend, each timeframe will display a bullish symbol. Shifts in market sentiment typically start in the shorter timeframes and can progressively affect longer ones if the trend continues.
This cascading effect allows the indicator to show all timeframes transitioning to a bearish orientation when the trend reverses.
The indicator also facilitates comparison between different assets. For assets with high correlation, a trend shift in one can often predict similar movements in correlated assets, thus allowing traders to swiftly adapt their strategies to align with new market conditions.

ZigZag Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
The "Zig Zag" indicator is an analytical tool that emerges from pricing changes. Essentially, it connects consecutive high and low points in an oscillatory manner. This method helps decipher price changes and can also be useful in identifying traditional patterns.
By sifting through partial price changes, "Zig Zag" can effectively pinpoint price fluctuations within defined time intervals.
🔵 Key Features
1. Drawing the Zig Zag based on Pivot points :
The algorithm is based on pivots that operate consecutively and alternately (switch between high and low swing). In this way, zigzag lines are connected from a swing high to a swing low and from a swing low to a swing high.
Also, with a very low probability, it is possible to have both low pivots and high pivots in one candle. In these cases, the algorithm tries to make the best decision to make the most suitable choice.
You can control what period these decisions are based on through the "PiPe" parameter.
2.Naming and labeling each pivot based on its position as "Higher High" (HH), "Lower Low" (LL), "Higher Low" (HL), and "Lower High" (LH).
Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
" HH ": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
" HL ": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
" LH ": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
" LL ": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/ZigZagLibrary_TradingFinder/1 as ZZ
Function "ZigZag" Parameters :
🟣 Logical Parameters
1. HIGH : You should place the "high" value here. High is a float variable.
2. LOW : You should place the "low" value here. Low is a float variable.
3. BAR_INDEX : You should place the "bar_index" value here. Bar_index is an integer variable.
4. PiPe : The desired pivot period for plotting Zig Zag is placed in this parameter. For example, if you intend to draw a Zig Zag with a Swing Period of 5, you should input 5.
PiPe is an integer variable.
Important :
Apart from the "PiPe" indicator, which is part of the customization capabilities of this indicator, you can create a multi-time frame mode for the indicator using 3 parameters "High", "Low" and "BAR_INDEX". In this way, instead of the data of the current time frame, use the data of other time frames.
Note that it is better to use the current time frame data, because using the multi-time frame mode is associated with challenges that may cause bugs in your code.
🟣 Setting Parameters
5. SHOW_LINE : It's a boolean variable. When true, the Zig Zag line is displayed, and when false, the Zig Zag line display is disabled.
6. STYLE_LINE : In this variable, you can determine the style of the Zig Zag line. You can input one of the 3 options: line.style_solid, line.style_dotted, line.style_dashed. STYLE_LINE is a constant string variable.
7. COLOR_LINE : This variable takes the input of the line color.
8. WIDTH_LINE : The input for this variable is a number from 1 to 3, which is used to adjust the thickness of the line that draws the Zig Zag. WIDTH_LINE is an integer variable.
9. SHOW_LABEL : It's a boolean variable. When true, labels are displayed, and when false, label display is disabled.
10. COLOR_LABEL : The color of the labels is set in this variable.
11. SIZE_LABEL : The size of the labels is set in this variable. You should input one of the following options: size.auto, size.tiny, size.small, size.normal, size.large, size.huge.
12. Show_Support : It's a boolean variable that, when true, plots the last support line, and when false, disables its plotting.
13. Show_Resistance : It's a boolean variable that, when true, plots the last resistance line, and when false, disables its plotting.

In addition to the 6 first row color trends, the table also displays the direction of the last 2 candles in each Time Interval in the last 2 rows. This extra interval information displays price trend direction change or may add confluence if the price direction is the same.
The top row of the table has column header names described below:
(TL30) Column 1 - Trend Interval + The Trend Length selected (30 is default). Uses the last 30 candles to determine the trend for this interval. The length number is Editable.
(LCC) Column 2 - Last Closed Candle. This is the direction color of the second last candle on the chart.
(LOC) Column 3 - Last Open Candle. The is the current candle color direction of the last candle on the chart. This candle has not yet closed and will flicker as price changing state.
NOTE 1: (LOC) Column 3 - Last Open Candle - only displays correctly when the market is open and price is changing.
You can adjust the "Trend Length in Candles" which defaults to using the trend of the last 30 candles (TL30). Edit this setting to use any number from 5 to 99 candles back if you want display different trend lengths.
Having a visual table of the price trends from different time intervals can be beneficial to traders. For example... When observing that a symbol has many Bullish (green) price trends on several time intervals and the last 2 candles are also bullish it should afford a trader confluence to trade in that same bullish direction. However I am not a professional and do not offer any trading advice in any way. Use this indicator at your own risk.
NOTE 2: Time interval of 240 = 4 hours. Below 1 day number only is minutes.
Trend Channels (MTF) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Trend Channels (MTF) indicator! Latest trends play an important role for traders and sometimes it can be hard to spot trends in other timeframes. This indicator can plot latest trend channels across different timeframes, so you can spot trends and their channels easier. More info about the process in the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new Trend Channels (MTF) indicator :
Plot Trend Channels Across Up To 3 Different Timeframes
Broad Customizability Of Trend Detection
Variety Of Trend Invalidation Options
High Visual Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
While the detection of trend channels is a common concept among traders, trend channels across different timeframes can be as crucial as the ones in the current timeframe. This indicator can find them from up to 3 different timeframes. While the general settings will perform well enough most of the time, the indicator also provides fine-tuning options for trend detection and trend invalidation for more experienced traders.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Trend channels occur when the price of an asset starts making a strong movement in a bullish or a bearish direction. This indicator detects trend channels using the Simple Moving Average (SMA). When the slope of the SMA line exceeds the user-defined size, a trend channel will occur.
To understand how individual settings work, you can check the "⚙️SETTINGS" section.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
SMA Length -> Determines the length used in the SMA function. Higher values mean that an average of a longer timespan will be taken into account when spotting trends.
Slope Length -> Used while finding the slope of the trend channel. Check this example for slope length :
ATR Size -> This setting is taken into calculation while checking if a trend channel is worth plotting. The higher this setting is, the higher the slope of the trend channel must be to get rendered. You can take a look at the chart provided above for a visual explanation.
Channel Expander -> When a trend channel occurs, the top and the bottom of the channel are initally determined by the latest highest highs / lowest lows. This setting expands the channel vertically by X times Average True Range (ATR). Check this example :
Trend Invalidation -> The trend channel gets invalidated when the bar closes / wicks above the top of the channel, or below the bottom of the channel. With this setting, you can switch the behaviour between bar close / bar wick.
Avoid False Invalidation -> This setting makes it harder for trend channels to get invalidated to prevent false invalidations.
Retries : The trend channel will have 5 chances for invalidation. First 4 invalidations will not invalidate the channel. The trend channel will only invalidate once the 5th invalidation occur.
Volume : The bar that invalidates the trend channel must have a volume higher than 1.5x the average bar volume of the current chart. Otherwise the trend channel will not be invalidated.
None : The trend channel will invalidate at the first invalidation.
Advanced Engulfing CandlesThere are a plenty of Engulfing candle detecting indicators but every single of them detect engulfing candles engulfed by only single candle but sometime it take more then one candle to engulf the previous opposite candle, which is also considered as engulfing candle.
So this script show both type of candles.
Type of Engulfing Candles
Normal Engulfing Candles
Candle engulfed by more then one continuous candle

Machine Learning: VWAP [YinYangAlgorithms]Machine Learning: VWAP aims to use Machine Learning to Identify the best location to Anchor the VWAP at. Rather than using a traditional fixed length or simply adjusting based on a Date / Time; by applying Machine Learning we may hope to identify crucial areas which make sense to reset the VWAP and start anew. VWAP’s may act similar to a Bollinger Band in the sense that they help to identify both Overbought and Oversold Price locations based on previous movements and help to identify how far the price may move within the current Trend. However, unlike Bollinger Bands, VWAPs have the ability to parabolically get quite spaced out and also reset. For this reason, the price may never actually go from the Lower to the Upper and vice versa (when very spaced out; when the Upper and Lower zones are narrow, it may bounce between the two). The reason for this is due to how the anchor location is calculated and in this specific Indicator, how it changes anchors based on price movement calculated within Machine Learning.
This Indicator changes the anchor if the Low < Lowest Low of a length of X and likewise if the High > Highest High of a length of X. This logic is applied within a Machine Learning standpoint that likewise amplifies this Lookback Length by adding a Machine Learning Length to it and increasing the lookback length even further.
Due to how the anchor for this VWAP changes, you may notice that the Basis Line (Orange) may act as a Trend Identifier. When the Price is above the basis line, it may represent a bullish trend; and likewise it may represent a bearish trend when below it. You may also notice what may happen is when the trend occurs, it may push all the way to the Upper or Lower levels of this VWAP. It may then proceed to move horizontally until the VWAP expands more and it may gain more movement; or it may correct back to the Basis Line. If it corrects back to the basis line, what may happen is it either uses the Basis Line as a Support and continues in its current direction, or it will change the VWAP anchor and start anew.
Tutorial:
If we zoom in on the most recent VWAP we can see how it expands. Expansion may be caused by time but generally it may be caused by price movement and volume. Exponential Price movement causes the VWAP to expand, even if there are corrections to it. However, please note Volume adds a large weighted factor to the calculation; hence Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP).
If you refer to the white circle in the example above; you’ll be able to see that the VWAP expanded even while the price was correcting to the Basis line. This happens due to exponential movement which holds high volume. If you look at the volume below the white circle, you’ll notice it was very large; however even though there was exponential price movement after the white circle, since the volume was low, the VWAP didn’t expand much more than it already had.
There may be times where both Volume and Price movement isn’t significant enough to cause much of an expansion. During this time it may be considered to be in a state of consolidation. While looking at this example, you may also notice the color switch from red to green to red. The color of the VWAP is related to the movement of the Basis line (Orange middle line). When the current basis is > the basis of the previous bar the color of the VWAP is green, and when the current basis is < the basis of the previous bar, the color of the VWAP is red. The color may help you gauge the current directional movement the price is facing within the VWAP.
You may have noticed there are signals within this Indicator. These signals are composed of Green and Red Triangles which represent potential Bullish and Bearish momentum changes. The Momentum changes happen when the Signal Type:
The High/Low or Close (You pick in settings)
Crosses one of the locations within the VWAP.
Bullish Momentum change signals occur when :
Signal Type crosses OVER the Basis
Signal Type crosses OVER the lower level
Bearish Momentum change signals occur when:
Signal Type crosses UNDER the Basis
Signal Type Crosses UNDER the upper level
These signals may represent locations where momentum may occur in the direction of these signals. For these reasons there are also alerts available to be set up for them.
If you refer to the two circles within the example above, you may see that when the close goes above the basis line, how it mat represents bullish momentum. Likewise if it corrects back to the basis and the basis acts as a support, it may continue its bullish momentum back to the upper levels again. However, if you refer to the red circle, you’ll see if the basis fails to act as a support, it may then start to correct all the way to the lower levels, or depending on how expanded the VWAP is, it may just reset its anchor due to such drastic movement.
You also have the ability to disable Machine Learning by setting ‘Machine Learning Type’ to ‘None’. If this is done, it will go off whether you have it set to:
Bullish
Bearish
Neutral
For the type of VWAP you want to see. In this example above we have it set to ‘Bullish’. Non Machine Learning VWAP are still calculated using the same logic of if low < lowest low over length of X and if high > highest high over length of X.
Non Machine Learning VWAP’s change much quicker but may also allow the price to correct from one side to the other without changing VWAP Anchor. They may be useful for breaking up a trend into smaller pieces after momentum may have changed.
Above is an example of how the Non Machine Learning VWAP looks like when in Bearish. As you can see based on if it is Bullish or Bearish is how it favors the trend to be and may likewise dictate when it changes the Anchor.
When set to neutral however, the Anchor may change quite quickly. This results in a still useful VWAP to help dictate possible zones that the price may move within, but they’re also much tighter zones that may not expand the same way.
We will conclude this Tutorial here, hopefully this gives you some insight as to why and how Machine Learning VWAPs may be useful; as well as how to use them.

SizeblockPrice change indicator in the form of diagonal rows.
The calculation is based on the percentage or tick deviation of the price movement (indicated in the "Deviation" parameter), which is displayed on the chart in the form of rows.
The row consists of the base middle line, upper and lower limits:
The middle line is the basis for the upper and lower limits of the current row.
The upper and lower limits are deviations from the base middle line of the current row.
The base middle line is equal to the upper or lower limits of the previous row (if the price changes rapidly in one time interval, then the base middle line of the current row is greater than the upper limit of the previous row or less than the lower limit of the previous row by an equal number of deviations depending on the direction of price movement). At the beginning of the calculation, the base middle line is equal to the initial value of the first row.
The "Quantity" parameter determines the deviation for the upper or lower limits depending on the direction of the price movement, and the "U-turn" parameter determines the deviation for changing the direction of the price movement.
The rule for constructing a new row:
The "Source" parameter accepts, depending on the choice, the price of high, low values or the closing price from the time interval of the chart.
When the price reaches the upper or lower limits of the row and goes beyond them, a new row is formed with the same parameters for deviation of the upper and lower limits from the base middle line, depending on the direction of price movement.
By adjusting certain deviations, you can clearly see the local trend and reversal points on the chart.
A useful tool for tracking price direction.
Thanks for your attention!

VWAP with CharacterizationThis indicator is a visual representation of the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), it calculates the weighted average price based on trading volume. Essentially, it provides a measure of the average price at which an asset has traded during a given period, but with a particular focus on trading volume. In our case, the indicator calculates the VWAP for the current trading symbol, using a predefined simple moving average (SMA) with a period of 14. This volume-weighted moving average offers a clearer view of the behavior of the VWAP and, of consequence of market dynamics.
One of the distinctive features of this indicator is its ability to provide a more "linear" representation of the data. This means that the data is "smoothed" to remove noise, allowing you to more easily identify the direction of the market trend. This smoother representation is especially useful because the financial market can be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility, and this indicator can help get a more stable view of the trend.
The indicator also offers a visualization of the market trend in a very intuitive way. Using an evaluation of the highs and lows of the last 10 days, determine whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or no trend at all. To make this evaluation even clearer and more immediate, the indicator line is colored dynamically. When the trend is bullish, the line is blue, while in case of a bearish trend, it takes on a distinctive color, such as pink. If the trend is not defined, the line will be colored differently, for example light yellow. This coloration gives traders an immediate visual indication of the prevailing trend, allowing them to make more informed decisions regarding trading operations.
One potential strategy involves watching candles when they cross the VWAP line strongly. If, for example, a candlestick breaks above the VWAP line, we may look for retest areas near key support levels to gauge a potential long entry. In other words, we would consider that the price may have the potential to rise further after breaking above the VWAP line, and we would look to enter a long position to take advantage of this opportunity.
On the other hand, if a candlestick crosses below the VWAP line, we might consider looking for retest areas near the VWAP line itself, which now serves as potential resistance. This could indicate a possible short entry opportunity, as the price may struggle to break above the resistance represented by the VWAP line after breaking it down. In this case, we would look to take advantage of the expected continuation of the downtrend.
In both cases, the idea is to exploit significant movements across the VWAP line as signals of potential reversal or continuation of the trend. This strategy can help identify key entry points based on price behavior relative to the VWAP line.
Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA"The Advanced Choppiness Indicator with CPMA is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying choppy market conditions and determining trend direction. It combines two key components: the Choppiness Index and a Custom Price Moving Average (CPMA).
The Choppiness Index is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), which measures market volatility. It compares the ATR to the highest high and lowest low over a specified period. A higher Choppiness Index value indicates choppier market conditions, while a lower value suggests smoother and more directional price movements.
The CPMA is a custom moving average that takes into account various price types, including the close, high, low, and other combinations. It calculates the average of these price types over a specific length. The CPMA provides a smoother trend line that can help identify support and resistance levels more accurately than traditional moving averages.
When using this indicator, pay attention to the following elements:
Yellow range boxes: These indicate choppy zones, where market conditions are characterized by low momentum and erratic price action. Avoid entering trades during these periods.
Histogram bars: Green bars suggest an uptrend, while red bars indicate a downtrend. These bars are based on the CPMA and can help confirm the prevailing trend direction.
CPMA angle: The angle of the CPMA line provides further insight into the trend. A positive angle indicates an uptrend, while a negative angle suggests a downtrend.
Choppiness thresholds: The indicator includes user-defined thresholds for choppiness. Values above the high threshold indicate high choppiness, while values below the low threshold suggest low choppiness.
Trade decisions: Consider the information provided by the indicator to make informed trading decisions. Avoid trading during choppy zones and consider entering trades in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Remember that the indicator's parameters, such as ATR length and CPMA length, can be adjusted to suit your trading preferences and timeframe. However, it's important to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and your trading strategy for comprehensive market analysis."
By combining the Choppiness Index, CPMA, and other visual cues, this indicator aims to help traders identify suitable trading conditions and make more informed decisions based on market trends and volatility.
Donchian Trend V1The Donchian Trend strategy is a trend-following approach that uses the Donchian Channels indicator to identify potential entry and exit points in a security. The Donchian Channels are formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low prices over a specified period and plotting them as upper and lower channels around the current price. The width of the channels indicates the level of volatility in the market.
In this strategy, the Donchian Channels are used as a trend filter to determine the direction of the market. When the price is above the upper channel, it suggests an uptrend, and when the price is below the lower channel, it indicates a downtrend. The length of the Donchian Channels is a key parameter in the strategy, as it determines the look-back period for identifying the high and low prices.
Additional Logic: To further refine the entry and exit signals, The script uses two moving averages, a fast one (MA5) and a slow one (MA45), to identify trends and generate trading signals. When the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average, a buy signal is generated, indicating that the market is trending upwards. Conversely, when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average, a sell signal is generated, indicating that the market is trending downwards.
Evaluation: The script was backtested on historical price data for the pair. The backtest results showed that the script was able to generate a net profit of , with a profit factor of and a Sharpe ratio of . The script also includes metrics such as the number of winning and losing trades, the average trade, and the largest winning and losing trades.
The strategy is evaluated based on its net profit, gross profit, gross loss, max run-up, max drawdown, buy & hold return, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and profit factor. The parameters used in the backtest include a Donchian Channel length of 42, which corresponds to a weekly time with divide of 4h time frame, and a short-term MA of 5 and a long-term MA of 45 for more accurate entry and exit signals.
Disclaimer: This script is for educational and research purposes only and should not be used for trading with real money without further testing and validation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
