Dynamic Flow Ribbon [Adaptive]

The Dynamic Flow Ribbon is a next-generation trend-following tool designed to solve the two biggest problems traders face: Lag and Noise.
Unlike traditional Moving Averages (SMA/EMA) that are often too slow to catch reversals or too sensitive to chop, this indicator utilizes Rational Quadratic Kernel Smoothing. This advanced mathematical approach creates a "Flow Ribbon" that hugs price action tightly during trends while remaining silky smooth, filtering out the random noise that leads to false signals.
This is not just a crossover indicator; it is a complete Market Regime Detector. It automatically identifies when the market is trending and when it is ranging, helping you stay out of dangerous "chop" zones.
Why Use This?
How It Works
The indicator calculates two dynamic curves:
Fast Flow Line: Tracks immediate price action using a tight kernel window.
Base Flow Line: A slower, weighted baseline that acts as the trend anchor.
The Ribbon: The space between these lines forms the "Ribbon."
How to Trade
This tool is best used for Trend Continuation and Reversal Catching.
The Entry: Wait for a Crossover Signal (Small Circle).
Buy when the Ribbon flips Green.
Sell when the Ribbon flips Red.
The Filter: If the Ribbon is Gray, ignore all signals. This prevents you from getting whipsawed in a ranging market.
The Exit: You can ride the trend until the Ribbon flips color, or use your own support/resistance targets.
Settings
Pro Tip: Combine for Maximum Accuracy
While the Dynamic Flow Ribbon is excellent for Trend Direction, it does not plot Support & Resistance levels.
For the ultimate trading setup, I highly recommend pairing this with my AIO Pivot Master
or any other pivot indicator, which you can easily find on TradingView.

Why Use This?
- Zero-Lag Smoothing: Experience the responsiveness of a fast EMA with the smoothness of a slow SMA.
- Chop Filter: The ribbon automatically turns Gray when volatility (ADX) drops, signaling you to sit on your hands and preserve capital.
- Visual Clarity: No messy lines. Just a clean, glowing ribbon that tells you the trend direction instantly.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two dynamic curves:
Fast Flow Line: Tracks immediate price action using a tight kernel window.
Base Flow Line: A slower, weighted baseline that acts as the trend anchor.
The Ribbon: The space between these lines forms the "Ribbon."
- Green (Bullish): Fast Flow > Base Flow. The trend is Up.
- Red (Bearish): Fast Flow < Base Flow. The trend is Down.
- Gray (Flat): Volatility is too low (ADX < Threshold). The market is sideways.
How to Trade
This tool is best used for Trend Continuation and Reversal Catching.
The Entry: Wait for a Crossover Signal (Small Circle).
Buy when the Ribbon flips Green.
Sell when the Ribbon flips Red.
The Filter: If the Ribbon is Gray, ignore all signals. This prevents you from getting whipsawed in a ranging market.
The Exit: You can ride the trend until the Ribbon flips color, or use your own support/resistance targets.
Settings
- Bandwidth (Smoothness): Adjusts the sensitivity of the kernel. Higher values = smoother ribbon (better for swing trading). Lower values = faster reaction (better for scalping).
- Trend Filter: Toggle the ADX-based chop filter on/off.
- Visuals: Fully customizable colors to match your chart aesthetic.
Pro Tip: Combine for Maximum Accuracy
While the Dynamic Flow Ribbon is excellent for Trend Direction, it does not plot Support & Resistance levels.
For the ultimate trading setup, I highly recommend pairing this with my AIO Pivot Master
or any other pivot indicator, which you can easily find on TradingView.
- Use Dynamic Flow to determine the Direction.
- Use AIO Pivot Master to find your Entry and Exit targets.
