Kalman MomentumKalman Filter
The Kalman Filter is an algorithm used for recursive estimation and filtering of time-series data. It was developed by Rudolf E. Kálmán in the 1960s and has found widespread applications in various fields, including control systems, navigation, signal processing, and finance.
The primary purpose of the Kalman filter is to estimate the state of a dynamic system based on a series of noisy measurements over time. It operates recursively, meaning it processes each new measurement and updates its estimate of the system state as new data becomes available.
Kalman Momentum Indicator
This indicator implements the Kalman Filter to provide a smoothed momentum indicator using returns. The momentum in this indicator is calculated by getting the logarithmic returns and then getting the expected value.
The Kalman calculation in this indicator is used to filter and predict the next value based on the logarithmic returns expected value.
Here's a simplified explanation of the steps and how they are applied in the Script:
State Prediction: Predict the current state based on the previous state estimate.
Error Covariance Prediction: Predict the covariance of the prediction error.
Correction Step:
Kalman Gain Calculation: Calculate the Kalman gain, which determines the weight given to the measurement.
State Correction: Update the state estimate based on the measurement.
Error Covariance Correction: Update the error covariance.
In this Script, the Kalman Filter is applied to estimate the state of the system, with two state variables.
When the Kalman Momentum is above 0, there is positive momentum or positive smoothed expected value.
When the Kalman Momentum is below 0, there is negative momentum or negative smoothed expected value.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
Positive values of the Kalman Momentum Indicator indicates positive expected value, while negative values suggest negative expected value.
You can look for changes in the sign of the indicator to identify potential shifts in market direction.
Volatility Analysis:
Observe the behavior of the indicator during periods of high and low volatility. Changes in the volatility of the Kalman Momentum Indicator may precede changes in market conditions.
Filtering Noise:
The Kalman Filter is known for its ability to filter out noise in time series data. Use the Kalman Momentum Indicator to filter out the noise in momentum to catch the trend more clearly.
Squeezes:
At time there may be squeezes, and these are zones with low volatility. What could follow after these zones are expansions and huge trending moves.
Indicator Settings:
You can change the source of the calculations.
There is also a lookback for the log returns.
Understanding Expected Value in Trading:
The Expected Value is a fundamental concept that shows the potential outcomes of a trading strategy or individual trade over a series of occurrences. It is a measure that represents the average outcome when a particular action is repeated multiple times.

IU Average move How The Script Works :
1. This script calculate the average movement of the price in a user defined custom session and plot the data in a table from on top left corner of the chart.
2. The script takes highest and lowest value of that custom session and store their difference into an array.
3. Then the script average the array thus gets the average price.
4. Addition to that the script converter the price pip change into percentage in order to calculate the value in percentage form.
5. This script is pure price action based the script only take price value and doesn't take any indicator for calculation.
6. The script works on every type of market.
7. If the session is invalid it returns nothing
8. The background color, text color and transparency is changeable.
How User Can Benefit From This Script:
1. User can understand the volatility of any session that he/she wish to trade.
2. It can be helpful for understanding the average price moment of any tradeble asset.
3. It will give the average price movement both in percentage and points bases.
4. By understanding the volatility user can adjust his stop loss or take profit with respect his risk management.
[blackcat] L2 Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) with 3 SMAThe Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) is a technical indicator used in trading to measure the strength of a trend. It compares two simple moving averages (SMAs) to determine the market's momentum.
To calculate RAVI, we subtract the shorter SMA from the longer SMA, and then divide the result by the longer SMA. This value is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.
The RAVI indicator helps traders identify whether the market is in a trending or range-bound phase. When the RAVI value is positive, it indicates a bullish trend, suggesting that the market is in an uptrend. Conversely, a negative RAVI value indicates a bearish trend or a downtrend.
Traders can use the RAVI indicator in several ways. Here are a few common strategies:
1. **Trend confirmation**: Traders can use RAVI to confirm the strength of a trend identified by other indicators or price patterns. If the RAVI value aligns with the direction of the trend, it provides additional confirmation.
2. **Overbought and oversold conditions**: Traders can use extreme RAVI values to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market. When the RAVI value reaches high positive or negative levels, it suggests that the market may be due for a reversal or a retracement.
3. **Divergence**: Traders can look for divergences between the RAVI indicator and the price action. For example, if the price makes a higher high, but the RAVI value makes a lower high, it could indicate a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
As with any technical indicator, it is essential to use RAVI in conjunction with other tools and analysis techniques to make informed trading decisions. Traders should also consider factors such as market conditions, risk management, and other supporting indicators to validate their trading strategies.
In this indicator, an additional simple moving average (SMA) is introduced to consider long-term bias. This modification allows the Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) to be used as a volatility filter. By comparing the shorter SMA with this longer SMA, traders can gain insights into the market's volatility and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. This longer SMA helps provide a broader perspective on the market's trend and can be particularly useful for identifying and filtering out periods of high volatility. It is called "L2 Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) with 3 SMA". It calculates the RAVI value based on three simple moving averages (SMA). The code also includes calculations for the upper and lower bands, as well as color gradient settings. Finally, it plots the RAVI values and a midline.
It calculates the Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) using three Simple Moving Averages (SMA). The RAVI measures the difference between two SMAs divided by a third SMA, and then multiplied by 100.
The code starts with defining input parameters such as length, multiplier, and lengths for the three SMAs. Then it assigns the closing price to a variable called "price".
Next, it calculates the three SMAs using the "ta.sma" function from TradingView's built-in technical analysis library. The first SMA uses "sma1Length", the second SMA uses "sma2Length", and the third SMA uses "sma3Length".
After that, it calculates the RAVI by subtracting sma2 from sma1, dividing it by sma3, and multiplying it by 100.
Then it calculates additional values like basis (using another SMA), deviation (using standard deviation), upper band (basis + dev), and lower band (basis - dev).
Finally, it plots these values on a chart using different colors for each line. It also creates an array of gradient colors based on RSI values calculated from another indicator called ALMA. This gradient color is used to colorize the RAVI line.
Overall, this script helps visualize and analyze market trends based on moving averages and their relationship with price movements.
ATR Multiples PlottedInspired by @jeffsuntrading and @Fred6724 's ATR% multiple from 50-MA .
There are no catch-all values, however a high of 6 and a low of -4 generally has been valuable to me. I tend to look at the historical highs and lows of the indicator, and adjust the Value High and Value Low accordingly to get an idea when profit-taking may be sensible.
The essence is the difference between price and the selected moving average, measured in ATRs.

Predictive Trend and Structure (Expo)█ Overview
The Predictive Trend and Structure indicator is designed for traders seeking to identify future trend directions and interruptions in trend continuation. This indicator is unique because it employs standard deviation to predict upcoming trend directions and potential trend continuation levels. This enables traders to stay ahead of the market.
█ How It Works
This indicator primarily functions based on the calculated standard deviation of the trend over a specified period. It evaluates the trend direction by comparing the current trend value to its previous one and scales the standard deviation, allowing for adjustments in sensitivity to price fluctuations.
█ How to Use
Trend
You can easily identify when a future trend begins by observing where the trend level is displayed. If the price breaks above and remains above the trend, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price breaks below and stays below, it signifies a bearish trend.
Support and Resistance
With the Predictive Structure enabled, the indicator aids in identifying potential support and resistance levels.
Trend Continuation Break
Trend continuation breaks occur when prices breaks support or resistance, indicating the existing trend may persist. The indicator plots these levels in advance, allowing traders to quickly identify where trend continuation might occur.
█ Settings
Period for Std Dev: Determines the number of periods used for the standard deviation calculation, impacting the indicator's sensitivity to price changes.
Standard Deviation Scaler: Scales the computed standard deviation, affecting the deviations needed to confirm trends and the indicator's focus on significant trend changes.
Predictive Structure: Enables or disables the prediction of market structures like potential levels of structure breaks/trend continuation breaks.

The Real Koops - Darvas Box v2.1What Is the Darvas Box?
The Darvas Box strategy was developed by Nicholas Darvas. Aside from being a well known dancer, he began trading stock in the 1950s. Based on his success in trading, he was approached to write a book on his strategy. The book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market,” outlines his approach together with “You can still make it in the market”.
Darvas Box Implementation
The intend behind the Darvas box was for it to be used for rapidly rising technology stocks, and in fact it was never tested or used by Darvas for Commodities. This implementation of the Darvas Box was created specifically in support of Commodity Trends, which tend to be very volatile over long periods of time. The main ones for an uptrend (e.g. longing the market. Shorting the market would work exactly the opposite):
1. When the price of a rapidly rising stock (pls note rapidly rising is key - we are not interested in a sideways trend) is reaching a resistance point, which is does not surpass for three or more consecutive days, that point represents the top of the box.
2. If, after falling from the upper limit, the stock reaches a downward resistance point which it does not penetrate for three of more consecutive days, that level represents the bottom of the box.
3. A stock is in a rising trend when it is in the topmost box. If it remains there, its price fluctuations should be ignored, and the stock is a HOLD.
4. If the price of the stock moves above the top of this topmost box, this stock becomes a BUY. A 10% stop loss should be set at the breakout.
5. Having formed a new higher box, if the price falls below the bottom into the stop loss area of this box, the stock is a SELL.
6. There is no reason to HOLD or BUY a stock that is not in its topmost box.
7. In case a candle pierces out of the top of the box while establishing the bottom of the box, the box is invalidated.
8. If the Box is broken out of on the top, the color is Yellow. If the Box is broken out of on the bottom, the color is Blue.
9. If a Box is being formed in the current timeframe, it is colored Grey, and has clear Buy and Stop Loss indicators so that the user knows how to configure his/her Broker.
10. All parameters for the implementation have been made configurable, so that users can tweak both the presentation of the boxes (background color, border width and style) as well as the configuration of the breakout %, stop loss %, textual presentation and box validation e.g. display arrows where the top and the bottom of the box was drawn, draw boxes only from All Time High back test after a configurable number of years, the number of boxes to be drawn from the last box etc.
11. In addition, two other key principles are critical for application of the indicator:
1. The stock’s price must be at or above its ATH for the past 3 years or more.
2. The volume profile needs to indicate a rapidly growing volume or insider buying (e.g., a volume spike).
How is this implementation different from others?
This implementation holds fully true to the way Darvas described his Darvas Box in his books, but applies it to Commodities. It is in addition, highly configurable, so that it can be used to debug itself (at which points have box boundaries been drawn), and it provides Buy/Sell/Stop Loss levels for entries and exits – again, highly configurable, with defaults set as per Darvas’ books.
Finally, it works over daily to quarterly timeframes (it is not suitable for high frequency trading).
How to use this Indicator?
First, use it with the default settings. Once a grey box is drawn for the current timeframe for the commodity you are interested in investing in (based on Darvas principles outlined above), this box will indicate a Buy level and a Stop loss level based on the principles described above, allowing you to make a purchase decision for that commodity asset accordingly. Then, stay the trade. As the stock continues to move up, more Darvas Boxes will be drawn with new Buy levels and stop loss levels – either add to your position or keep the original investment in play. Once a trend reversal occurs, the Stop loss level will be used to get you out of the trade.
Second, once you are comfortable with this trading methodology, you can refine the script to use a color scheme as you prefer for your Tradingview, as well as set buy, stop loss and sell levels, aligned with your own level of comfort to deal with volatility.
If you wonder why a certain box was drawn at certain levels, you can use the green and red arrows to show the levels based upon which the boxes were drawn.
GKD-E Parabolic SAR [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-E Parabolic SAR is an exit module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-E Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) is a technical indicator used in financial markets, particularly in stock and forex trading, to help traders identify potential trend reversals. It plots points on a chart either above or below an asset's price, gradually adjusting their positions as the price continues to move. When the SAR points are above the price, it suggests a downtrend, and when below, it indicates an uptrend. The SAR points act as dynamic stop-loss levels, trailing the price to protect profits and signal potential exit points. Traders often use the Parabolic SAR in conjunction with other indicators to make more informed trading decisions and manage risk effectively in volatile markets.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to choose the number of moving averages to plot, the timeframe for each moving average, and the color and style of each line. Traders can also choose to plot the moving averages as solid lines, dashed lines, or filled bands.
The indicator also includes a number of additional features, such as:
The ability to plot standard deviations around the moving averages
The ability to display a table of all the moving averages on the chart
The ability to draw arrows on the chart to indicate when prices cross the moving averages
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator can be used by traders of all experience levels and is a valuable tool for any technical trader's arsenal.
EXAMPLE USAGE
One way to use the Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is to identify trends. If the moving averages on all timeframes are sloping in the same direction, then the market is likely trending in that direction. For example, if the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages are all sloping upwards, then the market is likely in a bullish trend.
Another way to use the Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is to identify support and resistance levels. Moving averages can act as both support and resistance levels, depending on the direction of the trend. For example, if the market is in a bullish trend, then the 50-day moving average can act as a support level. If the market price falls below the 50-day moving average, it could signal a potential reversal of the trend.
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator can also be used to identify potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader could enter a long position when the price crosses above the 50-day moving average and exit the position when the price crosses below the 200-day moving average.
BOLLINGER BANDS SIGNAL
For every available timeframe, if prices bounce off the lower band and cross above their moving average, the upper band becomes the upper price target. A crossing below the moving average would identify the lower band as the downside target. In a strong uptrend, prices will usually fluctuate between the upper band and the average. In that case, a crossing below the average warns of a trend reversal to the downside.
USER INPUT SETTINGS
The elements below reflect the indicator’s settings menu structure:
Near Hit % : Reduce/increase target distance by setting them closer/further away from the band. This is a percentage of the distance between the moving average and its bands.
Gradient (Size & Style) : if on, plots a customizable gradient of colors instead of lines to represent standard deviations. Each color can be changed in the Moving Average Settings” section of the settings menu
Arrows (width & Shift) : if on, will display arrow-shaped lines at the right of the real-time bar. After an MA crossover/crossunder, the arrow starts at the moving average and ends at the corresponding band until the target gets hit.
Backtest Table (Location & Size) : if on, shows a timeframe screener table. Use “Small” as a Size for better mobile screen displays. This table allows you to see active targets and their directions across every timeframe. The table also displays the weighted average (%) of Hit targets signals, from the chart's timeframe point of view to all other timeframes.
St. Dev. (length & Mult.) : Bollinger Bands / Standard deviation lookback period & multiplier
Trade Labels : off by default, highlight crossovers, crossunders, and target hit with a label numbered with its corresponding moving average from the settings menu: MA01, MA02, etc.
Moving Averages : Show/hide plotted Moving Averages Lines
Moving Average Settings (plotted)
These are the 5 moving averages and corresponding bands that can be plotted on the chart. For each of those, you can customize their timeframes, types (SMA, EMA, etc.), and lookback periods
Other Moving Averages (no plots)
Similar to the above, these moving averages will reflect on the vertical arrows and inside the table
CONCLUSION
The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is a powerful tool for technical analysis that can be used to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points. The indicator is highly customizable and includes a number of additional features, such as the ability to plot standard deviations and display a table of all the moving averages on the chart. The Multi Timeframe Moving Averages indicator is a valuable tool for any technical trader's arsenal.
Weighted Momentum Forecast
The Weighted Momentum Forecast (EWMF) is a predictive indicator designed to forecast the potential direction and magnitude of the next candle's close. It combines the principles of momentum, trend confirmation, and volatility adjustment to make its predictions.
**Components:**
1. **Rate of Change (ROC)**: Measures the momentum of the market.
2. **Average True Range (ATR)**: Represents the market's recent volatility.
3. **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)**: Used to confirm the momentum's direction.
4. **Trend Moving Average**: A longer-term moving average to confirm the general trend.
5. **Bollinger Bands**: Adjusts the forecast to account for extreme predictions.
**Logic:**
1. **Momentum Bias**: The crossover and crossunder of the MACD line and its signal line are used to determine the momentum's bias. A crossover indicates a bullish bias, while a crossunder indicates a bearish bias.
2. **Trend Confirmation**: If the current close is above the trend moving average, the indicator has a bullish bias, and vice versa.
3. **Forecast Calculation**: The forecast for the next candle's close is calculated based on the current close, the rate of change, the momentum's bias, and the trend's bias. This value is then adjusted for volatility using the ATR.
4. **Volatility Adjustment**: If the forecasted value is beyond the Bollinger Bands, it's adjusted to be within the bands to account for extreme predictions.
**Usage:**
The EWMF plots a purple line representing the forecasted value of the next candle's close. This forecasted value provides traders with a visual representation of where the price might head in the next period, based on recent momentum, trend, and volatility.
**Note**: This is a heuristic approach and is not guaranteed to be accurate. It's essential to use this indicator in conjunction with other tools, backtest on historical data, and use proper risk management techniques. Always be aware of the inherent risks involved in trading and never risk more than you're willing to lose.
[blackcat] L1 Volatility Quality Index (VQI)The Volatility Quality Index (VQI) is an indicator used to measure the quality of market volatility. Volatility refers to the extent of price changes in the market. VQI helps traders assess market stability and risk levels by analyzing price volatility. This introduction may be a bit abstract, so let me help you understand it with a comparative metaphor if you're not immersed in various technical indicators.
Imagine you are playing a jump rope game, and you notice that sometimes the rope moves fast and other times it moves slowly. This is volatility, which describes the speed of the rope. VQI is like an instrument specifically designed to measure rope speed. It observes the movement of the rope and provides a numerical value indicating how fast or slow it is moving. This value can help you determine both the stability of the rope and your difficulty level in jumping over it. With this information, you know when to start jumping and when to wait while skipping rope.
In trading, VQI works similarly. It observes market price volatility and provides a numerical value indicating market stability and risk levels for traders. If VQI has a high value, it means there is significant market volatility with relatively higher risks involved. Conversely, if VQI has a low value, it indicates lower market volatility with relatively lower risks involved as well. The calculation involves dividing the range by values obtained from calculating Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a factor/multiple.
The purpose of VQI is to assist traders in evaluating the quality of market volatility so they can develop better trading strategies accordingly.
Therefore, VQI helps traders understand the quality of market volatility for better strategy formulation and risk management—just like adjusting your jumping style based on rope speed during jump-rope games; traders can adjust their trading decisions based on VQI values.
The calculation of VQI indicator depends on given period length and multiple factors: Period length is used to calculate Average True Range (ATR), while the multiple factor adjusts the range of volatility. By dividing the range by values and multiplying it with a multiple, VQI numerical value can be obtained.
VQI indicator is typically presented in the form of a histogram on price charts. Higher VQI values indicate better quality of market volatility, while lower values suggest poorer quality of volatility. Traders can use VQI values to assess the strength and reliability of market volatility, enabling them to make wiser trading decisions.
It should be noted that VQI is just an auxiliary indicator; traders should consider other technical indicators and market conditions comprehensively when making decisions. Additionally, parameter settings for VQI can also be adjusted and optimized based on individual trading preferences and market characteristics.
Filtered Bollinger Bands By @TradingadeThis is a reversal strategy based on Bollinger Bands combined with a Trend filter.
The most important part of this strategy is the Trend filter. When applied, it will increase the likelihood of confirming an exhausted movement (it will help find the maximum "elastic bent"), and may reduce chances of getting bad entries condition.
The logic of this code is:
Enter Long : price goes outside lower band, then close cross above lower band
Stop Loss : Percentage %
Take profit : Percentage %
Exit Cond : when high crosses above upper band. It could be both in profit or in loss.
Filter: Yesterday low was the lowest in previous X days
Enter Short : price goes outside lower band, then close cross above lower band
Stop Loss : Percentage %
Take profit : Percentage %
Exit Cond : when low crosses below lower band. It could be both in profit or in loss.
Filter: Yesterday high was the highest in previous X days
FILTER Notes:
You could switch both timeframe and N. of candles in input section. Even tough generally daily data are more reliable, you could find interesting to change it to 1H tf, so filter would be:
"1H high/low was the lowest/highest in previous X hours"
EXIT Notes:
Please note that "% exits" will always override "Exit Cond".
Set % exits to 0 if you want to exit only by "Exit Cond".
Settings used to get the results below :
Initial Capital = 10000
Order Size = 10000 USDT
Commission = 0.06 %
TREND FILTER
Trend filter = True
Trend intensity = 4 Candles , TF 1 day
BB FILTER
Lenght = 20
Source = Close
StdDev = 2
STRATEGY SETTINGS
Position Side = LONG
Stop Loss % = 8
Take Profit % = 0
Exit Cond = True
Price Variation Percent (PVP)This indicator shows the percentage of price variation, depending on the length of bars that the user chooses.
At a glance you can see if the price jumps in volatility and how often it does so. Very useful for scalping.
The upper and lower bands are limits of price variation in percentage, therefore when there is a crossing above or below you can immediately see how volatile the asset is and between what percentages of change it is moving.
Volume Density by EmreKbThis indicator allows you to assess price levels within a single candle based on volume distribution. It visually represents areas with higher volume density as more intense in color, while areas with lower volume density appear more transparent.
The indicator computes volume intensity for larger time frame candles by analyzing the prices and volumes of 1-minute time frame candles, providing valuable insights into volume patterns
Credit Spreads Trend Trading Indicator
This is a credit spreads trend following indicator designed to assist credit spreads traders in identifying trends and exploring trade ideas.
High Level Overview
It is based on a 200 period moving average line and incorporates calculations related to expected moves, which are derived from the stock's historical volatility. These calculations generate bands that may suggest possible ranges and trends. For example, the green band is one standard deviation based on historical volatility above the 200 period moving average while the red band is one standard based on historical volatility below the 200 period moving average. The grey line on the chart is the 200 period moving average. Historical volatility in this instance is calculated by looking at the last 252 candles.
How You Can Use It
You can use these bands to assist in trend analysis. For instance, if the stock is above the green line, the stock typically appears to be bullish. If the stock is below the red line, the stock typically appears to be bearish. When the market is between the red line and green, the stock trends to be sideways. With this information on the trend, it can assist you in coming up with credit spread trade ideas (put credit spread = bullish and call credit spread = bearish). The credit spread trade ideas table on the chart will show case a potential trade idea based on the percentage out of the money you want to place the trade (this is set in your settings).
This indicator has taken me 6 years to build, so I hope you enjoy it :)
Algorithm breakdown
Above the green line: bullish trend
Below the red line: bearish trend
Between the red and green line: sideways market
Above the top yellow line (optional): overbought market
Below the bottom yellow line (optional): oversold market
Understand The Settings
Plot breakout arrows?: shows arrows when the stock crossed one of the major lines
Show standard deviation high and low: shows where the market will top out and bottom out (mathematically)
SMA length: the length of the midline which is a simple moving average indicator
Show credit spreads recommendation: gives you trade ideas based on the stock's trend
Percentage out of the money: how far the recommended trade idea is out of the money
Keep in mind, this indicator may serve as a tool for potential trend identification and generating credit spread trade concepts, but it's essential to conduct your research and exercise due diligence beforehand.
[blackcat] L3 Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI ScalingThis pine script that creates a custom indicator called the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling. This indicator combines two well-known technical indicators - the VixFix and the RSI - to create a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
The VixFix is a technical indicator that helps identify market trends and volatility. It is based on the highest close of the past 22 bars and the lowest low of the same period. The VixFix is calculated as 100 times the difference between the highest close and the current low divided by the highest close. The indicator is inverted, meaning that high values indicate low volatility and low values indicate high volatility.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price action in a given period. It is calculated based on the closing prices of the selected asset. The RSI is scaled to a range between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions.
The Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling combines these two indicators to give a more comprehensive view of market conditions. The RSI is first scaled to a range between 0 and 100 using the RSI Length, RSI Overbought, and RSI Oversold inputs. The Inverted VixFix is then scaled to the same range as the RSI using the RSI Overbought and RSI Oversold inputs. The two indicators are then combined to create the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling.
To smooth out the RSI, the script also uses the ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) function. This function is a type of moving average that uses a variable smoothing factor to give more weight to recent price action. In this script, the ALMA is applied to the scaled RSI with a length of 3, a offset of 0.58, and a sigma of 6.
To help visualize the indicator, the script also creates visual elements such as threshold lines and fills. The Bull Threshold line is drawn at the RSI Overbought level and the Bear Threshold line is drawn at the RSI Oversold level. A fill is then created between these two lines using the color purple and opacity set to 70%.
Overall, the Inverted VixFix Indicator with RSI Scaling is a useful tool for traders looking for a more comprehensive view of market conditions. By combining the VixFix and RSI indicators, this script provides a more nuanced view of market trends and volatility.
MFR RangeHello Traders!
You requested it for many months, we are finally making our proprietary Range available to all.
First of all, how should a trader consider a Range in general:
In trading, a "range" refers to a specific price interval or zone within which an asset's price moves or consolidates for a period of time. Ranges are characterized by relatively horizontal or sideways price movements, where the price oscillates between a defined upper and lower boundary. Traders often use ranges to identify potential trading opportunities, manage risk, and make trading decisions.
Here's how ranges are used in trading:
1. Range Identification:
Traders identify ranges by observing price charts and looking for periods where the price appears to be moving horizontally with clear upper and lower boundaries.
Common range patterns include rectangles, channels, and horizontal consolidations.
2. Range Trading Strategies:
Range trading strategies aim to profit from price movements within the established range. Traders typically use two main approaches within a range:
Buying near the range's lower boundary: Traders buy when the price approaches the lower end of the range, anticipating a bounce or reversal towards the upper boundary. This is often referred to as "buying support."
Selling near the range's upper boundary: Traders sell when the price approaches the upper end of the range, anticipating a pullback or reversal towards the lower boundary. This is known as "selling resistance."
3. Risk Management:
Stop-loss orders are crucial when trading ranges. Traders set stop-loss orders just outside the range's boundaries to limit potential losses if the price breaks out of the range unpredictably.
4. Range Breakouts:
Ranges do not last indefinitely, and eventually, the price may break out of the range, leading to a significant price movement.
Traders often look for breakout patterns and use breakout trading strategies to capitalize on the potential for a strong price movement after the range is broken.
5. Volatility Consideration:
Some traders may assess the volatility within the range. If the price oscillates within the range with high volatility, they may consider trading shorter timeframes for smaller, quicker profits.
Lower volatility may prompt longer-term traders to take positions within the range, expecting a slower, more controlled price movement.
6. Time Frame Analysis:
Traders may analyze the time frame in which the range has developed, in our case MFR range are based solely on the Daily timeframe.
7. Confirmation Indicators:
Traders often use technical indicators like Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Averages, or Bollinger Bands to confirm range trading signals and assess overbought or oversold conditions.
8. Range Boundaries as Support and Resistance:
Once a range is identified, its upper and lower boundaries can serve as key support and resistance levels even after the range is broken. Traders pay attention to these levels for future trading decisions.
9. Range Expansion:
Some traders look for signs of range expansion, where the price starts to break out or trend strongly. This can signal the end of a range-bound market and a transition to a trending market.
It's important to note that while range trading can be profitable, it requires careful analysis and risk management. Traders must be prepared for the possibility of a breakout that can result in significant losses if they are on the wrong side of the trade. Additionally, market conditions can change, and ranges can evolve into trends or other patterns, so traders need to adapt their strategies accordingly.
What is specific to MFR range?
This script calculates and plots a trading range on a daily timeframe based on historical price data. Based on Benoit Mandelbrot and Edgar E. Peters publications on Range, we run a set of calculations over a defined period. The script will define those to generate the "Range High" and "Range Low". These values are used to define the upper and lower bounds of the trading range.
In short, how could I use this script?
A trader could use the Range to find overbought or oversold points to enter a position. The Lower Range being the price to buy an asset and the Upper Range being the place to sell an asset. This is recommended to be implemented only when our other indication called Trend matches the strategy: buy when the trend is bullish or short when the trend is bearish.
It's important to note that while Range is a useful tool, it should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions. It's recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and consider other factors such as market conditions, risk management, and fundamental analysis. Remember that the Range indicator is just one tool among many, and it's important to consider other factors such as volume, momentum, volatility, and overall market conditions when making trading decisions. Additionally, using stop-loss orders and proper risk management techniques is crucial to mitigate potential losses.

GKD-C STD-Filtered, REMA EMA/RMA [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C STD-Filtered, REMA EMA/RMA is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C STD-Filtered, REMA EMA/RMA
STD-Filtered, Regularized EMA/RMA calculates and visualizes a standard deviation (STD) filtered, regularized version of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or Regular Moving Average (RMA) on a trading chart.
Understanding the Regularized Moving Average
The Regularized Moving Average, as conceptualized by Chris Satchwell, offers a more responsive interpretation compared to traditional moving averages. By incorporating a smoothing mechanism using "Lambda", this approach reduces lag without compromising the data's integrity.
In the realm of technical analysis, many regard it as a preferred alternative to the standard Moving Average and Exponential Moving Average.
How Does It Stand Out from Other Moving Averages?
While analysts traditionally shorten an indicator's length or period to minimize lag, the Regularized Moving Average uses a unique approach. By embedding "Regularization" within its computation, this method introduces Lambda (often symbolized as λ-calculus). This mathematical factor tames the moving average's undue fluctuations, offering more stability through its Lambda adjustments.
Pro Tip: For those analyzing smaller intraday timeframes, consider ramping up the Lambda setting to 6.0 or even higher. When tweaking these settings, always remember to backtest and observe how it impacts signal accuracy and noise filtering.
Standard Deviation Filtering:
This filtering mechanism is designed to smoothen price data by eliminating minor fluctuations that might be considered "noise". Here's how the process works:
For every data point, the standard deviation of prices over a specified period is calculated.
This standard deviation is then multiplied by a user-defined value to determine a threshold. This threshold defines the magnitude of change required in the price for it to be considered significant.
For each price, if the absolute difference between its current and previous value is less than this threshold, the price is kept unchanged (considered insignificant and thus filtered). If the difference exceeds the threshold, the price is considered significant and remains as is.
By applying this filter, minor price variations within the threshold are disregarded, resulting in a smoother representation of the price data.
Moving Average Calculation:
The script provides an option to calculate either a regularized Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or a Regular Moving Average (RMA). Here's how these are approached:
If the EMA option is selected: A weighted formula is used where more recent prices have a higher influence on the average than older prices. This is achieved by applying a fraction that's inversely related to the chosen period. The outcome is an average that reacts more quickly to recent price changes.
If the RMA option is selected: The average is computed by giving equal weight to all prices within the chosen period.
Both these averages then undergo a regularization process. Regularization, in this context, refers to adjusting the moving average using a factor to make it potentially more sensitive or responsive to price changes.
This regularized moving average can offer a refined perspective on price trends by being more adaptive to recent changes, potentially highlighting turning points or trend continuations more effectively.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

STD-Filtered, Regularized EMA/RMA [Loxx]STD-Filtered, Regularized EMA/RMA calculates and visualizes a standard deviation (STD) filtered, regularized version of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or Regular Moving Average (RMA) on a trading chart.
█ Understanding the Regularized Moving Average
The Regularized Moving Average, as conceptualized by Chris Satchwell, offers a more responsive interpretation compared to traditional moving averages. By incorporating a smoothing mechanism using "Lambda", this approach reduces lag without compromising the data's integrity.
In the realm of technical analysis, many regard it as a preferred alternative to the standard Moving Average and Exponential Moving Average.
█ How Does It Stand Out from Other Moving Averages?
While analysts traditionally shorten an indicator's length or period to minimize lag, the Regularized Moving Average uses a unique approach. By embedding "Regularization" within its computation, this method introduces Lambda (often symbolized as λ-calculus). This mathematical factor tames the moving average's undue fluctuations, offering more stability through its Lambda adjustments.
Pro Tip: For those analyzing smaller intraday timeframes, consider ramping up the Lambda setting to 6.0 or even higher. When tweaking these settings, always remember to backtest and observe how it impacts signal accuracy and noise filtering.
█ Standard Deviation Filtering:
This filtering mechanism is designed to smoothen price data by eliminating minor fluctuations that might be considered "noise". Here's how the process works:
For every data point, the standard deviation of prices over a specified period is calculated.
This standard deviation is then multiplied by a user-defined value to determine a threshold. This threshold defines the magnitude of change required in the price for it to be considered significant.
For each price, if the absolute difference between its current and previous value is less than this threshold, the price is kept unchanged (considered insignificant and thus filtered). If the difference exceeds the threshold, the price is considered significant and remains as is.
By applying this filter, minor price variations within the threshold are disregarded, resulting in a smoother representation of the price data.
█ Moving Average Calculation:
The script provides an option to calculate either a regularized Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or a Regular Moving Average (RMA). Here's how these are approached:
If the EMA option is selected: A weighted formula is used where more recent prices have a higher influence on the average than older prices. This is achieved by applying a fraction that's inversely related to the chosen period. The outcome is an average that reacts more quickly to recent price changes.
If the RMA option is selected: The average is computed by giving equal weight to all prices within the chosen period.
Both these averages then undergo a regularization process. Regularization, in this context, refers to adjusting the moving average using a factor to make it potentially more sensitive or responsive to price changes.
This regularized moving average can offer a refined perspective on price trends by being more adaptive to recent changes, potentially highlighting turning points or trend continuations more effectively.

How it does it
==================
To explain how this indictor generate signal or does what it does, its best to put in points.
I have coded the strategy for each of the indicator, for some of the indicator you will see the option to choose strategy variation, these variants are either famous among the traders or its the ones I found more accurate based on my usage. By coding the strategy I will have the BUY and SELL signal generated by each indicator in the backend.
Next, the indicator will identify your selected LEADING INDICATOR and the CONFIRMATION INDICATOR(s).
On each candle close, the indicator will check if the selected LEADING INDICATOR generates signal (long or short).
Once the leading indicator generates the signal, then the indicator will scan each of the selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS on candle close to check if any of the CONFIRMATION INDICATOR generated signal (long or short).
Until this point, all the process is happening in the backend, the indicator will print LONG or SHORT signal on the chart ONLY if LEADING INDICATOR and all the selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS generates signal on candle close. example for long signal, the LEADING INDICATOR and all selected CONFIRMATION INDICATORS must print long signal.
The dashboard table will show your selected LEADING and CONFIRMATION INDICATORS and if LEADING or the CONFIRMATION INDICATORS have generated signal. Signal generated by LEADING and CONFIRMATION indicator whether long or short, is indicated by tick icon ✔. and if any of the selected CONFIRMATION or LEADING indicator does not generate signal on candle close, it will be indicated with cross symbol ✖.
how to use this indicator
==============================
Using the indicator is pretty simple, but it depends on your goal, whether you want to use it for overlaying the available indicators or using it to build your strategy or for both.
To use for Building your strategy: Select your LEADING INDICATOR, and then select your CONFIRMATION INDICATOR(s). if on candle close all the indicators generate signal, then this indicator will print SHORT or LONG signal on the chart for your entry. There are plenty of indicators you can use to build your strategy, some indicators are best for longer time frame setups while others are responsive indicators that are best for short time frame.
To use for overlaying the indicators: Open the setting of this indicator and scroll to the SWITCHBOARD section, from there you can select which indicator you want to plot on the chart.
For each of the listed indicators, you have the flexibility to customize the settings and configurations to suit your preferences. simply open indicator setting and scroll down, you will find configuration for each of the indicators used.
I will also release the Strategy Backtester for this indicator soon.
Supertrend Targets [ChartPrime]The Supertrend Targets indicator combines the concepts of trend-following with dynamic volatility-based target levels. It takes core simple and classical concepts and provides actionable insights. The core of this indicator revolves around the "Supertrend" algorithm, which essentially uses the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier to determine if the price of a financial instrument is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator generates various plot points on the trading chart, which traders can use to make informed trading decisions.
Users can set several input parameters such as the source price, custom levels, multiplier scale, length of the average true range, and the window length. Traders can also opt to enable a table that shows numeric target data by percentiles, risk ratio, take profit and stop loss points.
The generated plots and fills on the chart represent various levels of potential gains and drawdowns, acting as potential targets for taking profit or stopping losses. These include the 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 100th percentiles, which are adjustable by scale. There are also plots for average gain and drawdown levels, enhanced by standard deviation curves if enabled.
The Supertrend line indicators are color-coded for ease of understanding: blue for bullish performance and orange for bearish performance. The "Center Line" represents the point at which traders might consider entering a position.
Lastly, the script presents a summary table (when enabled) at the right side of the chart displaying numeric data of the plotted targets. This data provides additional insights on the risk-reward balance for each percentile, helping traders to execute their strategies more effectively.
Here's a comprehensive breakdown of its functionalities and features:
Inputs:
Source: Determines the price series type (e.g., Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
Show Trailing Stop: Option to display the trailing stop on the chart.
Levels: Sets the number of target levels you want to display. Can range from -5 to 5.
Scale: A scaling factor for adjusting targets, can be between 1 to 100.
Window Length: Length for the target computation, determines how many bars will be considered.
Unique: Ensures every data point used in calculations is unique.
Multiplier: Multiplier for the ATR (Average True Range) to compute the SuperTrend.
ATR Length: Period for the ATR computation.
Custom Level: Allows users to set their own levels using various statistics like Average, Average + STDEV, Percentile, or can be disabled.
Percent Rank: Determines the percentile rank for targeting.
Enable Table: Enables or disables a table display.
Methods:
Flag: Identifies bullish and bearish trend reversals.
Target Percent: Determines the expected price movement (both gains and drawdowns) based on historical trend reversals.
Value Percent: Computes the percentage difference between the current price and the entry price during trend reversals.
Plots:
Multiple target lines are plotted on the chart to visualize potential gain and drawdown levels. These levels are adjusted based on user settings. Additionally, the main Supertrend line is plotted to indicate the prevailing trend direction.
Gain Levels: Target levels which show potential upside from the current price.
Drawdown Levels: Target levels which represent potential downside from the current price.
SuperTrend Line: A line that adjusts based on price volatility and trend direction, acting as a dynamic support or resistance.
In conclusion, the "Supertrend Targets " indicator is a powerful tool that combines the principle of trend-following with dynamic targets, providing traders with insights into potential future price movements. The range of customization options allows traders to adapt the indicator to different trading strategies and market conditions.
Forex Scanner Pro - GBP/JPY/NZD/USD [FxScripts]Forex Scanner Pro is both a multi-functional indicator and market scanner combined. The combination allows you to have multiple eyes across the market, all from a single chart.
The scanner is comprised of an intuitively designed 3-in-1 tool that tracks the key metrics that drive markets. Each use advanced algorithms to gather information from multiple data points, distilled into one simplified view.
***** TREND SCANNER *****
The first indicator featured on the chart is the Trend Scanner, this allows you to track price action across the wider market. Instantly see pattern shifts and emerging trends; when the market moves, you move with it.
***** MOMENTUM SCANNER *****
The second is the Momentum Scanner which offers a realtime representation of momentum shifts as they occur. This allows you to monitor false breakouts and catch the moves that matter.
***** VOLUME SCANNER *****
The third is the Volume Scanner which provides unique insight into where buy and sell volume is being placed across the market. It offers a further way of determining entry and exit points or simply confirmation that a trend is underway.
***** HOW IT WORKS *****
1. The scanner surveys the market looking for strengths and weaknesses in Trend, Momentum or Volume.
2. It displays the underlying strength or weakness as a series of dots with up to six green dots showing strength and up to six red dots showing weakness.
3. Lighter colored dots are displayed where the strength of the trend, momentum or volume is lesser; if a dot is missing this is a sign of market neutrality.
4. All scanners have a sensitivity setting plus a volatility filter which can be adjusted according to your style of trading and the underlying instrument (full details below).
5. The background can be set to color-fill when the majority of dots are coloured either red or green, with higher values denoting greater strength or greater weakness.
6. Alerts can be configured in the same way as the background to provide both entry and exit signals (further details below).
***** INSTRUMENTS *****
Due to computational restraints, the scanner is split across two different indicators. This one features GBP, JPY, NZD and USD; the other AUD, CAD, CHF and EUR. Both form part of the same package.
Forex Scanner Pro works effortlessly with any of the following major or minor crosses:
AUDCAD, AUDCHF, AUDJPY, AUDNZD, AUDSGD, AUDUSD, CADCHF, CADJPY, CADSGD, CHFJPY, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURNZD, EURSGD, EURUSD, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPNZD, GBPSGD, GBPUSD, NZDCAD, NZDCHF, NZDJPY, NZDUSD, SGDJPY, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY, USDSGD
***** SETTINGS OVERVIEW *****
The scanner features the following customizable settings:
~~ Trend Settings ~~
▶ Trend Filter - adjusting this will allow you to focus on short term trends (most suitable for scalping), medium or long term (best for swing trading).
▶ Countertrend Strength - increases the sensitivity of weaker vs stronger countertrends. As countertrends are trends that run against the main trend, this will assist in detecting the strength of a pullback or reversal and allow you to either hold, exit or reverse the trade with confidence.
~~ Momentum Settings ~~
▶ Momentum Filter - increase or decrease the sensitivity of the momentum scanner. Increase to avoid periods of low or weak momentum, decrease to highlight stronger surges in momentum.
~~ Volume Settings ~~
▶ Volume Filter - increase or decrease the sensitivity of the volume scanner. Increase to avoid periods where buy and sell volume can potentially cancel each other out.
~~ Volatility Settings ~~
▶ Volatility Offset - use this to fine tune the volatility filter. A higher value generally delays the volatility filter allowing for confirmation of stronger trends, a lower value will detect trend, momentum or volume movement sooner but may be less accurate.
▶ Each scanner has its own setting allowing you to adjust how you monitor the underlying volatility for each.
▶ As with all settings, we recommend adjusting this to your style of trading, instrument and timeframe.
~~ Alerts ~~
Alerts can be configured to send notifications when anything from 4-6 bullish or bearish dots are showing. Exit markers can be configured when anything from 2+ dots are revealed. This adds an extra layer of sensitivity for traders who appreciate complete control over their trade.
~~ Display Settings ~~
You have the ability to hide all colored dots and only show the background or, alternatively, hide the background and only show colored dots.
