➤ With RSI Candles:
⭐ Overview and How It Works:
This script provides a multi-asset analysis tool to assess various market conditions across four symbols simultaneously. It combines several indicators such as daily price change, Moving Averages (MA), Bollinger Bands (BB), Parabolic SAR, RSI, and VWAP to generate buy/sell signals and trend indicators. Its strength lies in the layered use of indicators to enhance signal reliability, making it valuable for traders needing cross-validation in decision-making.
⭐ Key Features and Functionality:
The script evaluates each symbol's price against various indicators and conditions:
Daily Price Conditions: It checks if each symbol’s close price is above or below the previous day’s open, close, and intra-day ranges, forming a foundational bullish/bearish condition.
Range Breakout 1st 5min Candle (ORB): Opening Range Breakout levels are calculated and compared with current close prices, detecting breakout/breakdown conditions.
ORB Body: This basically calculates the previous day Daily candle body size, if todays Daily candle body size is greater than previous day, then we can say that we are having good momentum else its likely to be in-sidebar trading.
Moving Averages (MA): It leverages EMA-20, 2-day, and 3-day exponential moving averages to gauge short to medium-term trends.
RSI and VWAP: Relative Strength Index (RSI) determines overbought or oversold conditions, while VWAP compares prices to volume-weighted levels.
Bollinger Bands and Trend Analysis: Detects volatility and potential breakout conditions.
Concept of ORB Body:
Current_PrevDay_Body = (math.max(var_Current_PrevD_Open, var_Current_PrevD_Close) - math.min(var_Current_PrevD_Open, var_Current_PrevD_Close))
Current_Upper_ORB = var_Current_D_Open + Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_Lower_ORB = var_Current_D_Open - Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_TodayDay_Body = math.max(var_Current_D_Open, var_Current_Close) - math.min(var_Current_D_Open, var_Current_Close)
Current_ORBBody = Current_TodayDay_Body > Current_PrevDay_Body
Current_Upper_ORB_bull = (var_Current_Close > Current_Upper_ORB)
Current_Lower_ORB_bear = (var_Current_Close < Current_Lower_ORB)
🎨 Visualizations and User Experience:
The script can dynamically display colored backgrounds indicating trends when conditions are met. For example, the bgcolor function changes the background when certain trend-based criteria are satisfied, offering visual cues to users. Additionally, the checkbox input toggles trend bar visualizations, enhancing user experience by providing a quick visual reference without needing to interpret individual data points manually.
RSI-Based Candle Coloring:
➤ The script customizes candle colors based on RSI thresholds, specifically defining upper (60) and lower (40) RSI levels. When the RSI value exceeds the upper threshold, candles are colored as bullish (green), and if it falls below the lower threshold, candles are colored as bearish (red). Neutral RSI values result in a default color (gray).
➤ This setup offers a visually intuitive way to identify potential trend directions based on RSI levels, making it ideal for traders looking to gauge momentum visually.
⭐ Settings and Customization:
With multiple user-configurable inputs, the script allows for tailored analysis. Customizable parameters, such as enabling/disabling trend bars and setting various look-back periods for indicators like Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages, make it adaptable to various trading styles and preferences. It also allows users to modify visual elements like colors and styles, improving flexibility.
⭐ Uniqueness of the Concept:
The unique aspect of this script is its multi-symbol approach combined with complex conditions. By comparing not only one but four symbols simultaneously, it provides a broader market view and allows traders to correlate signals across different assets, offering a potential edge for diversified or comparative strategies. Additionally, the incorporation of ORB and multi-timeframe MAs gives it a robustness often lacking in simpler single-symbol scripts.
🚀 Conclusion:
This script is a powerful multi-indicator tool suited for traders looking for a comparative, multi-symbol analysis. With features like ORB, Bollinger Band-based trend detection, and MA cross-verification, it can assist traders in identifying and validating trend signals across assets. The user-friendly visualizations and customizable settings further enhance its usability, making it versatile for various trading strategies and preferences.
Volume
Gap Finder with Box FillSetup and Inputs
The indicator checks the current and previous candles to find gaps, using a color input for filling the gap area on the chart.
Gap Detection:
If the current candle opens higher than the previous close and doesn’t overlap with the previous candle’s range, it marks this as a gap-up.
If the current candle opens lower than the previous close without overlap, it’s marked as a gap-down.
Drawing the Gap:
When a gap-up or gap-down is found, the script draws a box from the previous close to the current candle’s low or high, filling it with the chosen color.
Benefits
Visual Aid: The filled box highlights gaps, making them easy to spot on the chart.
Trade Signals: Gaps can show strong market moves, helping traders spot potential entries or watch for reversals.
Customizable: You can adjust the color to fit your chart style, making the gaps stand out clearly.
This simple tool gives traders a quick view of gaps, which are often key points of interest in technical analysis.
IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!
Accumulation Map [LuxAlgo]The Accumulation Map is a charting tool that tracks traded volume across all price levels within a specified period.
It highlights the relationship between an asset's price and traders' willingness to buy or sell, helping to identify accumulation zones.
These zones represent areas of significant trading activity and provide insights into potential support and resistance levels. The indicator displays these zones using a heatmap, offering a clear, visual representation of market sentiment and activity based on volume.
🔶 USAGE
The Accumulation Map shows the distribution of traded volume across different price levels over a specific period. The volume nodes are displayed as color gradients, each reflecting the accumulation level (trading activity) at that price range.

Money-Flow-Profile
MFI Strategy with Oversold Zone Exit and AveragingThis strategy is based on the Money Flow Index (MFI) and aims to enter a long position when the MFI exits an oversold zone, with specific rules for limit orders, stop-loss, and take-profit settings. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Key Components
1. **Money Flow Index (MFI)**: The strategy uses the MFI, a volume-weighted indicator, to gauge whether the market is in an oversold condition (default threshold of MFI < 20). Once the MFI rises above the oversold threshold, it signals a potential buying opportunity.
2. **Limit Order for Long Entry**: Instead of entering immediately after the oversold condition is cleared, the strategy places a limit order at a price slightly below the current price (by a user-defined percentage). This helps achieve a better entry price.
3. **Stop-Loss and Take-Profit**:
- **Stop-Loss**: A stop-loss is set to protect against significant losses, calculated as a percentage below the entry price.
- **Take-Profit**: A take-profit target is set as a percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
4. **Order Cancellation**: If the limit order isn’t filled within a specific number of bars (default is 5 bars), it’s automatically canceled to avoid being filled at a potentially suboptimal price as market conditions change.
Strategy Workflow
1. **Identify Oversold Zone**: The strategy checks if the MFI falls below a defined oversold level (default is 20). Once this condition is met, the flag `inOversoldZone` is set to `true`.
2. **Wait for Exit from Oversold Zone**: When the MFI rises back above the oversold level, it’s considered a signal that the market is potentially recovering, and the strategy prepares to enter a position.
3. **Place Limit Order**: Upon exiting the oversold zone, the strategy places a limit order for a long position at a price below the current price, defined by the `Long Entry Percentage` parameter.
4. **Monitor Limit Order**: A counter (`barsSinceEntryOrder`) starts counting the bars since the limit order was placed. If the order isn’t filled within the specified number of bars, it’s canceled automatically.
5. **Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit**: Once the order is filled, a stop-loss and take-profit are set based on user-defined percentages relative to the entry price.
6. **Exit Strategy**: The trade will close automatically when either the stop-loss or take-profit level is hit.
Advantages
- **Risk Management**: With configurable stop-loss and take-profit, the strategy ensures losses are limited while capturing profits at pre-defined levels.
- **Controlled Entry**: The use of a limit order below the current price helps secure a better entry point, enhancing risk-reward.
- **Oversold Exit Trigger**: Using the exit from an oversold zone as an entry condition can help catch reversals.
Disadvantages
- **Missed Entries**: If the limit order isn’t filled due to insufficient downward movement after the oversold signal, potential opportunities may be missed.
- **Dependency on MFI Sensitivity**: As the MFI is sensitive to both price and volume, its fluctuations might not always accurately represent oversold conditions.
Overall Purpose
The strategy is suited for traders who want to capture potential reversals after oversold conditions in the market, with a focus on precise entries, risk management, and an automated exit plan.
Mini ChartDescription:
The indicator displays a mini candlestick chart as a table. You can add up to 3 such charts and use different assets / timeframes in any of them. Each chart can have a max of 15-20 candles (depending on the settings). You can customise the colors and styles, including price scale, grid and a volume chart. If you hover on any displayed candle, you will see price and volume info for that candle. The candles can also be highlighted based on price or volume. The indicator can display data from both higher and lower timeframes, but is not updating very quickly if you display too many candles.
Inputs:
Each mini chart has inputs for:
- Number of candles
- Timeframe
- Asset
- Table position
- Table height
- Grid resolution
- Left and Right price scales
- Candle highlighting (which can be based on Min/Max price, Min/Max Volume, Rising/Falling Volume)
- And a checkbox for displaying volume chart below the candles
Below those inputs you have inputs for customising all the mini charts with the following:
- Header and Footer info
- Colors and styles of the charts, candles and price scales
- Sizing and spacing of the candles
- Height of the volume chart and padding of the price chart
Note:
The indicator utilises "table" objects. The limit of table cells for a chart is 10,000. Thus, the more candles you display in the mini charts, the more laggy the indicator will feel, and at some point you may surpass the 10,000 cells limit, at which point you're going to get an error.
The indicator might not update very quickly, especially if you're using data from lower timeframes.
Austin's Apex AcceleratorIndicator Name: Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Overview
The Austin’s Apex Accelerator is a highly aggressive trading indicator designed specifically for high-frequency Forex trading. It combines several technical analysis tools to identify rapid entry and exit points, making it well-suited for intraday or even lower timeframe trades. The indicator leverages a combination of exponential moving averages (EMAs), Bollinger Bands, volume filters, and volatility-adjusted ranges to detect breakout opportunities and manage risk with precision.
Core Components
Fast and Slow EMAs: The two EMAs act as trend and momentum indicators. When the shorter EMA crosses the longer EMA, it signals a change in momentum. The crossover of these EMAs often indicates a potential entry point, especially when combined with volume and volatility filters.
ATR-Based Range Filter: Using the Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic range calculation, the indicator adapts to market volatility. Higher ATR values widen the range, helping the indicator adjust for volatile conditions.
Volume Filter: A volume condition ensures that buy and sell signals only trigger when there’s significant market interest, reducing the likelihood of false signals in low-liquidity environments.
Bollinger Bands: The Bollinger Bands provide additional context for potential overbought or oversold conditions, highlighting opportunities for price reversals or trend continuations.
Key Features
Aggressive Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, confirming bullish momentum, and the volume condition is met. If the price is also near the lower Bollinger Band, it adds further confirmation of an oversold condition.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is generated when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, confirming bearish momentum, with sufficient trading volume. If the price is near the upper Bollinger Band, it signals a potential overbought condition, which supports the sell signal.
Dynamic Range with ATR:
The indicator uses a volatility-based range, derived from the ATR, to adjust the signal sensitivity based on recent price fluctuations. This dynamic range ensures that signals are responsive in both high and low volatility conditions.
The range’s upper and lower bands act as thresholds, with trades often occurring when the price breaches these levels, signaling momentum shifts or trend reversals.
Trend Background Color:
A green background highlights bullish trends when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
A red background signifies bearish trends when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, providing a visual indication of the overall market trend direction.
Trend Line:
The indicator plots a dynamic trend line that changes color based on the price's relationship to the EMAs, helping traders quickly assess the current trend’s strength and direction.
Alerts:
The indicator includes configurable alerts for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to be notified of entry opportunities without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
How to Use Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Identify Entry Points:
Buy Entry: When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, a buy signal is triggered. Confirm this signal by checking if the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band (indicating an oversold condition) and if trading volume meets the set threshold.
Sell Entry: When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, a sell signal is triggered. Confirm the signal by ensuring the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band (suggesting an overbought condition) and that volume is sufficient.
Exit Strategy:
Take Profit: The take profit level is calculated as 1.5 times the ATR from the entry point. This ensures that each trade aims to achieve a positive risk/reward ratio.
Stop Loss: The stop loss is set at 1 ATR from the entry, providing a tight risk control mechanism that limits potential losses on each trade.
Trend Identification and Background Colors:
Use the background colors to assess the trend direction. A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background suggests a bearish trend. These colors can help you filter signals that go against the trend, increasing the chances of a successful trade.
Volume Confirmation:
This indicator has an inbuilt volume filter to prevent trading in low-volume conditions. Look for signals only when volume exceeds the average volume threshold, which is set by the multiplier. This helps avoid trading during quieter times when false signals are more likely.
Alerts:
Set up alerts for buy and sell signals to be notified in real-time whenever a new trading opportunity arises, so you can act on high-quality signals promptly.
Practical Tips for Using Austin’s Apex Accelerator
Timeframe: Best suited for short timeframes such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts for high-frequency trading.
Volume StatsDescription:
Volume Stats displays volume data and statistics for every day of the year, and is designed to work on "1D" timeframe. The data is displayed in a table with columns being months of the year, and rows being days of each month. By default, latest data is displayed, but you have an option to switch to data of the previous year as well.
The statistics displayed for each day is:
- volume
- % of total yearly volume
- % of total monthly volume
The statistics displayed for each column (month) is:
- monthly volume
- % of total yearly volume
- sentiment (was there more bullish or bearish volume?)
- min volume (on which day of the month was the min volume)
- max volume (on which day of the month was the max volume)
The cells change their colors depending on whether the volume is bullish or bearish, and what % of total volume the current cell has (either yearly or monthly). The header cells also change their color (based either on sentiment or what % of yearly volume the current month has).
This is the first (and free) version of the indicator, and I'm planning to create a "PRO" version of this indicator in future.
Parameters:
- Timezone
- Cell data -> which data to display in the cells (no data, volume or percentage)
- Highlight min and max volume -> if checked, cells with min and max volume (either monthly or yearly) will be highlighted with a dot or letter (depending on the "Cell data" input)
- Cell stats mode -> which data to use for color and % calculation (All data = yearly, Column = monthly)
- Display data from previous year -> if checked, the data from previous year will be used
- Header color is calculated from -> either sentiment or % of the yearly volume
- Reverse theme -> the table colors are automatically changed based on the "Dark mode" of Tradingview, this checkbox reverses the logic (so that darker colors will be used when "Dark mode" is off, and lighter colors when it's on)
- Hide logo -> hides the cat logo (PLEASE DO NOT HIDE THE CAT)
Conclusion:
Let me know what you think of the indicator. As I said, I'm planning to make a PRO version with more features, for which I already have some ideas, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Trendfilter AD2Trendfilter AD2
What It Is: The Trendfilter AD2 is a versatile technical indicator that combines multiple analysis methods, including Bollinger Bands, Larry Williams' Accumulation/Distribution method, and Swing Volatility. It aims to detect market trends early, identify trend changes, and measure market volatility.
What It Does:
The Trendfilter AD2 provides comprehensive market analysis features:
Trend Direction and Changes: The indicator uses the Signal Line in conjunction with Bollinger Bands to give early indications of potential trend changes.
Accumulation/Distribution by Larry Williams: This method helps assess market strength and determine direction.
Swing Volatility: The indicator calculates swing volatility based on short-term highs and lows and uses this to define a volatility range.
Divergence Analysis: The indicator allows for manual detection of divergences to identify potential trend reversals.
How to Use It:
Bollinger Bands and Signal Line:
Bollinger Bands consist of an upper band, a middle line, and a lower band. The middle line represents the moving average of the Signal Line.
The Signal Line is calculated based on swing volatility and price differences. A breakout of the Signal Line through the middle line can provide early signals of trend changes:
Breakout Upwards: Indicates a potential beginning of an uptrend.
Breakout Downwards: Indicates a potential beginning of a downtrend.
Accumulation/Distribution by Larry Williams:
This method evaluates market strength and direction based on price movements. Accumulation occurs when the close is above the previous close, while Distribution occurs when the close is below the previous close.
Swing Volatility:
The indicator calculates swing volatility based on short-term highs and lows. This volatility is used to define the Bollinger Band ranges, helping to identify and interpret volatile market phases.
Divergence Analysis:
Divergences must be manually identified. To do this, compare price movements with the calculated momentum or volatility line:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the price makes new lows while the indicator forms higher lows. This may indicate a potential upward trend reversal.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when the price makes new highs while the indicator forms lower highs. This may indicate a potential downward trend reversal.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking for early signals of trend changes, those wanting to analyze market volatility, and for those who need to manually identify divergences.
This indicator also identifies and displays 8 different candlestick patterns, offering traders additional insights into price action.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Past performance of any trading strategy is not indicative of future results. Trading involves significant risk, and you should only trade with funds that you are prepared to lose. Always conduct your own analysis and consult a professional financial advisor if needed.
Volume Disharmony IndicatorThis indicator is designed to detect imbalanced volume compared to the open/close of the corresponding candle body. The idea is that institutions often trade in higher volume within a smaller price range. Identifying these can give an indication if there is a rally or selloff happening. The code looks at the median of all the prior candles from the point of the last trigger and compares them to the range in body of the candles in order to dynamically find a baseline, by which imbalances can be more accurately detected throughout changing market conditions.
Up/Down Volume with Normal DistributionThis indicator analyzes the relationship between price movements and trading volume by distinguishing between "up" and "down" volume. Up volume refers to trading volume occurring during price increases, while down volume refers to trading volume during price decreases. The indicator calculates the mean and standard deviation for both up and down volume over a specified length. This statistical approach enables traders to visualize volume deviations from the average, highlighting potential market anomalies that could signal trading opportunities.
Relationship Between Price and Volume
Volume is a critical metric in technical analysis, often considered a leading indicator of price movements. According to studies in financial economics, significant price changes accompanied by high volume tend to indicate strong market conviction (Wyart et al., 2008). Conversely, price changes on low volume may suggest a lack of interest or conviction, making those moves less reliable.
The relationship between price and volume can be summarized as follows:
Confirmation of Trends: High volume accompanying a price increase often confirms an upward trend. Similarly, high volume during price declines indicates bearish sentiment.
Reversals and Exhaustion: Decreases in volume during price increases may suggest a potential reversal or exhaustion of buying pressure, while increased volume during declines can indicate capitulation.
Breakouts: Price movements that break through significant resistance or support levels accompanied by high volume are typically more significant and suggest stronger follow-through in the new direction.
Developing a Trading Strategy
Traders can leverage the insights gained from this relationship to formulate a trading strategy based on volume analysis:
Entry Signals: Traders can enter long positions when the up volume significantly exceeds the mean by a predefined number of standard deviations. This situation indicates strong buying interest. Conversely, short positions can be initiated when down volume exceeds the mean by a specified standard deviation.
Exit Signals: Exiting positions can be based on changes in volume patterns. If the volume starts to decrease significantly after a price increase, this may signal a potential reversal or the need to lock in profits.
Risk Management: Integrating volume analysis with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or RSI, can provide a more comprehensive risk management framework, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the strategy.
In conclusion, understanding the relationship between price and volume, alongside employing statistical measures like the mean and standard deviation, enables traders to create more robust trading strategies that capitalize on market movements.

Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)
The VASTC is a fairly fast-moving oscillator designed to identify trends early and signal when trends may be nearing their end. While it can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies , it shines in trend-following setups. It’s particularly useful for catching the start of a trend and giving early warnings that a trend might end soon, making it a valuable addition to a multi-indicator system.
How It Works:
The VASTC adapts the traditional Schaff Trend Cycle by adjusting the MACD component with volume data. This volume-adjusted MACD is run through two stochastic processes , applying exponential smoothing to enhance responsiveness. Volume sensitivity allows the VASTC to adapt dynamically to periods of high or low trading activity, providing more reliable trend signals.
Recommended Use:
Use VASTC in confluence with other indicators to confirm trend entries and exits. It’s best for identifying early trend setups rather than sustaining prolonged trend trades. When used alongside other indicators, especially those with a longer-term outlook or momentum based trend indicators, you’ll gain a clearer signal for potential exits or entries. Always backtest the VASTC on your chosen assets to determine the most effective input parameters, as the defaults may not suit all markets or assets. Different assets behave differently, and adjustments in parameters can improve its ability to analyze the assets you're looking at.
Parameters:
Length : Sets the primary smoothing length.
Fast/Slow Length : Adjust the speed of the volume-adjusted MACD component.
Factor : Controls the final smoothing applied to the STC.
Overbought/Oversold Levels : Defines overbought/oversold levels.
Experiment with these settings to customize the VASTC to your trading strategy and asset.
Disclaimer : This indicator is a tool to complement your trading analysis and should not be used in isolation. Always backtest and use other confluence signals for best results. The assets I looked at when making this indicator are almost certainly different than what you're looking at.
VWAP it GOODWhy: Instead of having 5 individual VWAP indicators, I found it beneficial for one view with a clean display. This VWAP indicator combines the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual into one color coded view. These colors and styles can be modified by the user.
A user can turn any timeframe off, but this is how I personally like to trade since it helps me better understand potential bounce or pullback areas.
Do your own research for what is best for you.
Advanced VWAP [CryptoSea]The Advanced VWAP is a comprehensive volume-weighted average price (VWAP) tool designed to provide traders with a deeper understanding of market trends through multi-layered VWAP analysis. This indicator is ideal for those who want to track price movements in relation to VWAP bands and detect key market levels with greater precision.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe VWAP Bands: Includes multiple VWAP bands with different lookback periods (5, 10, 25, and 50), allowing traders to observe short-term and long-term price behavior.
Smoothed Band Options: Offers optional smoothing of VWAP bands to reduce noise and highlight significant trends more clearly.
Dynamic Median Line Display: Plots the median line of the VWAP bands, providing a reference for price movements and potential reversal zones.
VWAP Trend Strength Calculation: Measures the strength of the trend based on the price's position relative to the VWAP bands, normalized between -1 and 1 for easier interpretation.
In the example below we can see the VWAP Forecastd Cloud, which consists of multiple layers of VWAP bands with varying lookback periods, creating a dynamic forecast visualization. The cloud structure represents potential future price ranges by projecting VWAP-based bands outward, with darker areas indicating higher density and overlap of the bands, suggesting stronger support or resistance zones. This approach helps traders anticipate price movement and identify areas of potential consolidation or breakout as the price interacts with different layers of the forecast cloud.
How it Works
VWAP Calculation: Utilizes multiple VWAP calculations based on various lookback periods to capture a broad range of price behaviors. The indicator adapts to different market conditions by switching between short-term and long-term VWAP references.
Smoothing Algorithms: Provides the ability to smooth the VWAP bands using different moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to suit various trading strategies and reduce market noise.
Trend Strength Analysis: Computes the trend strength based on the price's distance from the VWAP bands, with a value range of -1 to 1. This feature helps traders identify the intensity of uptrends and downtrends.

Normalized ATRWhat is Normalized ATR?
Normalized ATR (Average True Range) is an indicator used to assess the volatility of a financial asset in a more understandable way. Normalized ATR normalizes the Average True Range (ATR) over a specific period relative to the current price level, providing a more comparable measure of volatility. It gives appropriate volatility across all timeframes.
What is ATR (Average True Range)?
ATR is a technical indicator used to measure the volatility of an asset's price. ATR is calculated by taking the highest value from the following three values:
Daily High - Daily Low: The difference between the highest and lowest prices within the day.
Daily High - Previous Day's Close: The difference between today's highest price and the previous day's closing price.
Daily Low - Previous Day's Close: The difference between today's lowest price and the previous day's closing price.
The largest value among these three is then averaged over a specified period (usually 14 days) to calculate the ATR.
Why Use Normalized ATR?
Normalized ATR provides a way to compare the ATR relative to the current price level. This is particularly useful when comparing assets with different price levels. For example, two assets may have the same ATR value, but due to differing price levels, the perception of volatility could vary. Normalization helps eliminate these discrepancies, enabling more consistent analysis. It gives appropriate volatility across all timeframes.
Normalized ATR Calculation
Normalized ATR is calculated by dividing the ATR value by the current price level:
Normalized ATR
=
(
ATR
Current Price
)
×
Normalization Factor
Normalized ATR=(
Current Price
ATR
)×Normalization Factor
Here, the "Normalization Factor" is typically a multiplier (e.g., 100) to convert the result into a more readable format.
Example Usage
Investors can use the Normalized ATR value to determine the volatility of an asset and formulate risk management strategies. A high Normalized ATR indicates that the asset has high volatility, while a low value suggests lower volatility.
This indicator helps investors better understand market conditions and make informed trading decisions.
VOLUME DIRECTION INDICATORDesigned for the 1-hour chart, this indicator shows:
Green Line: Volume when price rises, suggesting buying.
Red Line: Volume when price falls, indicating selling.
How to Use:
Watch for Crossover: When the Green Line moves above the Red, it might signal a budding uptrend.
Check Retracement: If the Green Line pulls back but stays above the Red, the uptrend could be strengthening.
Price Check: Look for a small price drop but not a reversal.
Trade Entry:
Enter at the high of the retracement candle.
Or wait for the Green Line to rise again.
For Precision: Draw a line at the retracement peak and switch to a shorter timeframe to find entry patterns above this line.
Remember: Use this with other tools for better trading decisions.
The Volume Direction Indicator provides a visual representation of market activity by assuming volume can be attributed to buying or selling based on price action within each bar. When the price closes higher than it opened, the volume for that period is considered as 'Bought Shares', plotted in green. Conversely, if the price closes lower, the volume is treated as 'Sold Shares', shown in red. This indicator resets daily to give a fresh perspective on trading activity each day.
Key Features:
Buying Pressure: Green line represents the cumulative volume during periods where the price increased.
Selling Pressure: Red line indicates the cumulative volume during price decreases.
Daily Reset: Accumulated values reset at the start of each new trading day, focusing on daily market sentiment.
Note: This indicator simplifies market dynamics by linking volume directly to price changes. It does not account for complex trading scenarios like short selling or market manipulations. Use this indicator as a tool to gauge general market direction and activity, not for precise transaction data.
CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator
Overview
The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator.
Purpose
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative.
Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making.
Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
- Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements.
- Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure.
- Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure.
Elder Force Index (EFI):
- Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is.
- Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend.
- Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend.
Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet.
Features
Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment.
Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis.
How It Works
CMF Calculation:
- Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure.
- CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period:
CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods)
EFI Calculation:
- Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume:
EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume)
Scaling the EFI:
- The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude.
Plotting:
- Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart.
- A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences.
Indicator Settings
Inputs
CMF Length (`cmf_length`):
- Default: 20
- Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals.
EFI Length (`efi_length`):
- Default: 13
- Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes.
EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`):
- Default: 0.000001
- Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually.
How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor
Start with the Default Value:
- Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`.
Visual Inspection:
- Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor.
Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor:
- Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align.
- The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
Verify Alignment:
- Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI.
- Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment.
How to Use the Indicator
Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum:
- Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume).
- Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
Look for Indicator Alignment:
- Both CMF and EFI Positive:
- Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum.
- Both CMF and EFI Negative:
- Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum.
Identify Divergences:
- CMF Positive, EFI Negative:
- Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts.
- CMF Negative, EFI Positive:
- Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal.
Confirm Signals with Other Analysis:
- Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions.
Example Usage
Scenario 1: Bullish Alignment
- CMF Positive: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- EFI Positive and Increasing: Shows strengthening upward momentum.
- Interpretation:
- Strong bullish signal suggesting that buyers are active, and the price is likely to continue rising.
- Action:
- Consider entering a long position or adding to existing ones.
Scenario 2: Bearish Divergence

TechniTrend: Trend and Volume Indicator🟪 Overview
The "TechniTrend: Trend and Volume Indicator" is designed to assist traders in identifying optimal entry and exit points in the market by combining trend detection and volume analysis. This indicator integrates moving average-based trend recognition with volume threshold analysis to provide clear buy and sell signals. Additionally, it includes divergence filtering and correlation analysis to enhance the accuracy of signals, making it suitable for traders who want to identify strong trends and high-probability trading opportunities.
🟪 Indicator Components
🔹Trend Moving Average (MA):
The indicator calculates a moving average based on the closing prices to identify the overall trend. Various moving average types are available for customization:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
The length of the moving average can be adjusted via the Trend MA Length input to adapt to different market conditions.
🔹Volume Analysis:
A volume moving average is calculated over a specified period (Volume MA Length), with a volume threshold derived by multiplying this average by a user-defined Volume Threshold Factor.
This threshold helps to classify volume as either high or low, which plays a crucial role in signal generation.
🔹Divergence Detection:
The indicator can filter out signals when there is a divergence between the price movement and volume changes. Divergence occurs when the price moves in one direction while the volume moves in the opposite direction, indicating a potential weakening of the trend.
🔹Correlation Analysis:
The correlation between price and volume changes is calculated over the same length as the trend moving average. The user can enable this filter to ensure that buy or sell signals are only generated when the correlation exceeds a specified threshold (Correlation Threshold).
🟪 Signals and Alerts
🔹Buy Signal: Generated when the price is above the trend moving average (indicating an uptrend), and the current volume exceeds the volume threshold (indicating high volume). The signal can be filtered based on divergence or correlation settings.
🔹Sell Signal: Triggered when the price is below the trend moving average (indicating a downtrend), and the volume is above the threshold. Similarly, the signal is affected by divergence and correlation filters.
🔹Visual Indicators:
The trend line is plotted on the chart for easy trend identification.
Buy and sell signals are displayed using green and red labels, respectively.
Background highlighting is used to mark areas of high volume on the chart.
🟪 Customizable Inputs
🔹Trend MA Length: Adjusts the moving average length used to detect trends.
🔹Volume MA Length: Sets the length for the volume moving average calculation.
🔹MA Type for Trend: Select the type of moving average for trend detection (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA).
🔹Volume Threshold Factor: Multiplier used to define high-volume conditions based on the volume moving average.
🔹Enable Divergence Filter: Allows the user to filter out signals where divergence between price and volume is detected.
🔹Enable Correlation Filter: Enables filtering of signals based on the correlation between price and volume changes.
🔹Correlation Threshold: Sets the minimum correlation value required for a signal to be considered valid.
🟪 Alerts
The indicator provides alert conditions for buy and sell signals, allowing traders to receive notifications when new trading opportunities arise.
🟪 Usage Tips
🔹Adjust Moving Average Lengths: Shorter lengths can make the indicator more sensitive to recent market changes, while longer lengths provide a smoother, more reliable trend signal.
🔹Volume Threshold Factor: Increasing this factor raises the volume required to generate high-volume signals, which can help filter.
