Visual Prowess

Visual Prowess: Ultimate Visual of Price Action Indicator

Overview

Visual Prowess is a Pine Script indicator that integrates Trend, Momentum, Strength/Weakness, Money Flow, and Volatility into a single, intuitive interface. Scaled from 0 to 100, it provides traders with clear bullish (>50) and bearish (<50) zones. Visual Prowess is made up of several data components which will be explained below. All these components have custom thresholds that lead to Green Dot Buy Signals and Red Dot sell signals. Designed for multi-timeframe analysis, it helps traders anticipate market moves with precision seeing behind the scenes of price action.

The fundamental inputs of price action are made up of different variables -- the components of Trend Strength, Volatility, Momentum, Money Flow/Volume and Overbought/Oversold. These are very important inputs market makers use. From what I've learned in my trading journey (always still learning), this is the data I value most important. This is why I combined all these components into one indicator.....to be an ultimate visual—this extrapolation of different pieces of data is the Visual Prowess.

What It Does
Visual Prowess combines five key market factors into a unified score (0-100) to assess market conditions by examining the price action like an x-ray aka Visual Prowess:

• Trend Direction & Strength (Green and Red Wave) : Identifies bullish (green clouds) or bearish (red clouds) trend. This data is designed to illustrate the trend by the color, and its strength by the height (score).
How it is Calculated = Data is derived from price action-- comparing the current and previous price highs and lows to measure the strength of upward (+) or downward (-) price movements, smoothed over a period and expressed as a percentage of the price range.

• Momentum (Blue and White Wave): Tracks price acceleration via a custom momentum oscillator, displayed as blue (positive) or white (negative) waves.
How it is Calculated = Data is calculated by subtracting a longer-term exponential moving average from a shorter-term exponential moving average to measure momentum and trend direction. Momentum strength is measured by height on 0-100 score, and color dictates the trend-- Blue up, White down.

• Strength Index (Purple Line): Measures overbought/oversold conditions with a normalized index, derived from price deviation.
How it is Calculated = Strength Index is calculated by comparing the average of price gains to the average of price losses over a specified period, expressed as a value between 0 and 100 to measure momentum and identify overbought or oversold conditions.

• Money Flow: Monitors capital inflows and outflows using a modified Money Flow Index, shown as green (buying) or red (selling) circles.
How it is Calculated = The Money Flow is calculated by using price and volume data to measure buying and selling pressure, comparing positive and negative money flow over a specified period to produce a value between 0 and 100, indicating overbought or oversold conditions and more importantly where the money is moving, + or -.

• Volatility: Gauges market volatility, marked by colored crosses (blue for low, red for high). Blue illustrates low volatility which is key for big moves either + or -; red to illustrate when price action is extremely overheated either + or -.
How it is Calculated = The volatility is calculated by the creator of the BBWP The_Caretaker. This excellent work is calculated using the width of the iconic indicator the Bollinger Bands (the difference between the upper and lower bands divided by the middle band (the moving average), expressed as a percentage to show how volatile the price is relative to its recent average.

Originality

Unlike traditional multi-indicator dashboards, Visual Prowess uses a combination of specific open-source indicators which I believe to be the most important inputs in price action-- trend, momentum, strength, money flow, and volatility into an all-in-one visual ratioed on a 0-100 scale. This unique synthesis of data reduces noise, prioritizes signal alignment, and a look behind the scenes of price action to see deeper into the movement – This combination of indicators has custom thresholds, when these components in alignment with each other hit certain parameters; it leads to key custom price action signals -- Green Dot Buy and Red Dot Sell signals.

There is also a bonus indicator….. a Yellow Triangle. When you see this, it is rare and strong. It only prints when strength index reaches extreme lows at the same time volatility reaches extreme highs…. It then waits to print the yellow triangle upon a third condition= which is price action is back in bullish/positive zone. This Yellow triangle is meant to be strong reversals of Macro Trend lows.

How to Use the Visual Prowess Components:
• Add to Chart: Apply Visual Prowess to any timeframe (recommended: higher timeframes 12H, 1D, 2D, 3D for optimal signals).
• Interpret Zones: Values >50 indicate bullish conditions (green background); <50 signal bearish conditions (red background).

Wait for Green Dot Buy signal for buys and Red Dot Sell signals for sells. One can read each component individually to gauge the price action and predict before the buy signal prints; all of those components merged together is what leads to the buy and sell signals. The story of what’s to come can be seen at lower timeframes before the higher timeframes print, that is a key way to gauge projections of bull or bear prints to come.



HOW TO READ EACH DATA COMPONENT

TREND CLOUDS: Green/red clouds show trend direction; vivid colors tied to number/ score on the 0-100 scale indicate strength of the trend.

Bull Conditions
Green cloud illustrates the trend is bullish. The height is correlated to the trend’s strength—this height is also aligned with colors, more transparent green is weak, then it gets more opaque being medium strength, and the most vibrant is the strongest. How to ride the bull condition is by seeing this transformation of trend get from weak to strong, until it tops out and the wave points down losing strength which alludes to the bear condition.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa with the bear condition. Different shades of red tie into the strength of the bear trend. How to read when things are about to get bearish, is by seeing bull trend shift levels of strength (Example- medium to weak). This transition of bull strength getting weaker is the start, once it gets to weak bear it has commenced until bearish strength tops out before it begins to get weaker leading to the next bull phase.

MOMENTUM WAVES: Blue waves above 50 suggest bullish momentum; white waves below 50 warn of bearish shifts.

Bull Conditions
Good to look at flips of white wave to blue in bearish zones to see the tide turning= guaranteed bullish when safely gets above and holds above 50 zone.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa for Bearish side of this momentum wave being blue wave turning white in bullish zone aiming down to break below 50 zone to confirm bearish descent.

STRENGTH INDEX: Values >80 indicate overbought; <20 suggest oversold. Look for “Bull” or “Bear” labels for divergences.

Bull Conditions
Above 50 level is key, so seeing price action break from below 50 to above 50 is strong buy condition until it gets overbought.

Bear Conditions
Once conditions are too overbought and falling making lower lows (especially when price action is climbing or staying sideways) it is indicating strength is getting weaker. When this indicator fights 50 level and breaks down below 50 level bearish conditions are coming until it gets to an oversold level.

MONEYFLOW: Green circles signal buying pressure; red circles indicate selling.

Bull Conditions
Green circles show money flow is positive so that’s a good sign of upward price action to come, and again above 50 level is bullish conditions

Bear Conditions
Red circles show money flow is negative so that’s a bad sign of price action to come, pointing down and breaking below 50 level is no good. It can have corrections in bullish scenario keep in mind seeing red doesn’t mean trend is over z9could be in higher low scenario).

VOLATILITY: Blue crosses (<25% volatility) suggest breakout potential; red crosses (>75%) warn of overheated markets.

Bull Conditions
This is a very important indication. Big volatile moves can move either direction + or -. When all other components look positive/bullish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the upward direction –If all other components align/lean bullish.
Another bullish scenario is when price action is down large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the downward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely oversold condition can be great buying opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.

Bear Conditions
When all other components look negative/bearish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the downward direction –If all other components align/lean bearish.
Another bearish scenario is when price action is up large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the upward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely overbought condition can be great selling opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.

*****All these components in alignment of hitting each pertaining important threshold--is what prints the green dot and sell signals to trade by. It is not black and white; each component has a sweet spot fine tuned to be triggered through analysis of what is happening individually to each component and how it is reacting to the price action data.




EXAMPLE= Taking a look at the screenshot (Perfect Scenario)

Bullish Examination
- Taking a look at the 2-D timeframe on BTC
x>50
x= all components traveling to the bullish zone. Blue wave, Strength Index with bullish divergence accumulation, Money Flow Positive with Green Trend Wave starting, with teal low volatility cross→→→ leads to Green Dot Buy Signal print…. And the big rise speaks for itself with price action and the big mountain wave of the Green Trend Wave.

This rise leads to

Bearish Examination

Strength Index gets really high at 80 scale, Red X’s showing extremely heated Volatility, Money Flow turning red and sloping down, Trend Wave peaking starting to roll over, Blue Momentum Wave transitioning to white, bearish divergence of price action related to Strength Index→→→ leads to Red Dot Sell Signal print… and the flush speaks for itself when all components fall below 50 level with Trend wave turning red

All this is forecasted in the data, showing weakness before weakness and showing strength before strength. It works because every single piece of important elements in data of price action is incorporated in this all-in-one indicator…. Which leads to the reasoning of me calling this indicator the Visual Prowess, for its unprecedent sharpness of visual observation.

****This is a passion script incorporating every piece of data I value important when reading a chart — to see current perspective of a chart and to help foresee future projection of direction Up or Down. Any community feedback is greatly appreciated. Ongoing work will be done on this script as new thoughts and fine tuning will continuously be done for infinity, as this is my personal go to model for data on the markets.
