Global Macro IndexGlobal Macro Index
The Global Macro Index is a comprehensive economic sentiment indicator that aggregates 23 real-time macroeconomic data points from the world's largest economies (US, EU, China, Japan, Taiwan). It provides a single normalized score that reflects the overall health and momentum of the global economy, helping traders identify macro trends that drive asset prices.
⚠️ Important: Timeframe Settings
This indicator is designed exclusively for the 1W (weekly) timeframe. The indicator is hardcoded to pull weekly data and will not function correctly on other timeframes.
What It Measures
The indicator tracks normalized Trend Power Index (TPI) values across multiple economic categories:
United States (7 components)
Business Confidence Index (BCOI) - Business sentiment and outlook
Composite Leading Indicator (CLI) - Forward-looking economic indicators
Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) - Consumer sentiment and spending intentions
Terms of Trade (TOT) - Import/export price relationships
Manufacturing Composite - Combines business confidence, production, and new orders
Comprehensive Economic Composite - Broad aggregation including employment, business activity, and regional indicators
Business Inventory (BI) - Stock levels and supply chain health
European Union (10 components)
Sentiment Survey (SS) - Overall economic sentiment
Business Confidence Index - EU business outlook
Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) - Combined confidence metrics
Manufacturing Production (MPRYY) - Industrial output year-over-year
New Orders - Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain manufacturing orders
Composite Leading Indicators - Germany, France forward-looking metrics
Business Climate Index (BCLI) - France business conditions
Asia (6 components)
New Orders - China, Japan, Taiwan manufacturing demand
Composite Leading Indicators - China, Japan economic momentum
The Formula
The indicator calculates a weighted average of normalized TPI scores:
Global Macro Index = (1/23) × Σ
Each of the 23 economic indicators is:
Converted to a Trend Power Index (TPI) using 4-day Bitcoin normalization
Weighted equally (1/23 ≈ 4.35% each)
Summed and smoothed with a 1-period SMA
The result is a single oscillator that ranges typically between -1 and +1, with extreme readings beyond ±0.6.
Z-Score Signal System
The indicator includes an optional Z-Score overlay that identifies extreme macro conditions:
Calculation:
Z-Score = (Current Value - 50-period Mean) / Standard Deviation
Smoothed with 35-period Hull Moving Average
Inverted for intuitive interpretation
Signals:
Green background (Z-Score ≥ 2) = Extremely positive macro conditions, potential overbought
Red background (Z-Score ≤ -2) = Extremely negative macro conditions, potential oversold
These extreme readings occur approximately 5% of the time statistically
How to Use It
Interpreting the Main Plot (Red Line):
Above 0 = Positive macro momentum, risk-on environment
Below 0 = Negative macro momentum, risk-off environment
Above +0.6 = Strong expansion, bullish for equities and crypto
Below -0.6 = Severe contraction, bearish conditions
Trend direction = More important than absolute level
Z-Score Signals:
Z ≥ 2 (Green) = Macro sentiment extremely positive, consider taking profits or preparing for pullback
Z ≤ -2 (Red) = Macro sentiment extremely negative, potential buying opportunity for contrarians
Works best as a regime filter, not precise timing tool
Best Practices:
Use as a macro regime filter for other strategies
Combines well with liquidity indicators and price action
Leading indicator for risk assets (equities, Bitcoin, emerging markets)
Lagging indicator - confirms macro trends rather than predicting reversals
Watch for divergences: price making new highs while macro weakens (bearish) or vice versa (bullish)
Settings
Show Zscore Signals: Toggle green/red background shading for extreme readings
Overlay Zscore Signals: Display Z-Score signals on the price chart as well as the indicator panel
Reference Lines
0 (gray) = Neutral macro conditions
+0.6 (green) = Strong positive threshold
-0.6 (red) = Strong negative threshold
Data Sources
Real-time economic data from TradingView's ECONOMICS database, including:
OECD leading indicators
Manufacturing PMIs and new orders
Consumer and business confidence surveys
Trade and inventory metrics
Regional economic sentiment indices
Notes
This is a macro trend indicator, not a day-trading tool. Economic data updates weekly and reflects the aggregate health of global growth. Best used on weekly timeframes to identify favorable or unfavorable macro regimes for risk asset allocation.
The indicator distills complex global economic data into a single actionable score, answering: "Is the global economy expanding or contracting right now?"

Smart RSI Composite [DotGain]Summary
Do you want to know the "True Direction" of the market without getting distracted by noise on a single timeframe?
The Smart RSI Composite simplifies market analysis by aggregating momentum data from 10 different timeframes (5m to 12M) into a single, easy-to-read Histogram.
Instead of looking at 10 separate charts or dots, this indicator calculates the Average RSI of the entire market structure. It answers one simple question: "Is the market predominantly Bullish or Bearish right now?"
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
This indicator works like a consensus mechanism for momentum:
Data Aggregation: It pulls RSI values from 10 customizable slots (Default: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 12M). All slots are enabled by default.
Smart Averaging: It calculates the arithmetic mean of all active timeframes. If the 5m chart is bearish but the Monthly chart is bullish, this indicator balances them out to show you the net result.
Histogram Visualization: The result is plotted as a histogram centered around the 50-line (Neutral).
🚦 How to Read the Histogram
The histogram bars indicate the aggregate strength of the trend based on the Average RSI:
🟩 DARK GREEN (Strong Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI > 60.
Meaning: The market is in a strong uptrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the buyers' side.
🟢 LIGHT GREEN (Weak Bullish)
Condition: Average RSI between 50 and 60.
Meaning: Slight bullish bias. The bulls are in control, but momentum is not yet extreme.
🔴 LIGHT RED (Weak Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI between 40 and 50.
Meaning: Slight bearish bias. The bears are taking control.
🟥 DARK RED (Strong Bearish)
Condition: Average RSI < 40.
Meaning: The market is in a strong downtrend across most timeframes. Momentum is firmly on the sellers' side.
Visual Elements
Center Line (50): This acts as the Zero-Line. Above 50 is bullish, below 50 is bearish.
Zone Lines (30/70): Dashed lines indicate the traditional Overbought/Oversold levels applied to the aggregate average.
Key Benefit
The Smart RSI Composite acts as a powerful Macro Trend Filter .
Pro Tip: Never go long if the Histogram is Dark Red, and avoid shorting when it is Dark Green. Use this tool to align your trades with the overall market momentum.
Have fun :)

Smart RSI MTF Matrix [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of trading trend signals, only to miss the bigger picture because you are focused on a single timeframe?
The Smart RSI MTF Matrix is the ultimate "Cockpit View" for momentum traders. Unlike chart overlays that can sometimes clutter your price action, this indicator organizes RSI conditions across 10 different timeframes simultaneously into a clean, separate Heatmap pane.
It monitors everything from the 5-minute chart all the way up to the 12-Month view , giving you a complete X-ray vision of the market's momentum structure instantly.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The Smart RSI MTF Matrix relies on a sophisticated hierarchy to deliver clear, actionable context:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: The script runs 10 independent RSI calculations in the background, organized in rows from bottom (Short Term) to top (Long Term).
Classic RSI Thresholds:
Overbought (> 70): Indicates price may be extended to the upside.
Oversold (< 30): Indicates price may be extended to the downside.
Smart Visibility System (The "Secret Sauce"): Not all signals are equal. A 5-minute signal is "noise" compared to a Yearly signal. This indicator automatically applies Transparency to differentiate importance. The visibility increases by 10% for each higher timeframe slot (Row).
🚦 How to Read the Matrix
The indicator plots dots in 10 stacked rows. The position and opacity tell you the direction and significance:
🟥 RED DOTS (Overbought Condition)
Trigger: RSI is above 70 on that specific timeframe.
Meaning: Potential bearish reversal or pullback.
🟩 GREEN DOTS (Oversold Condition)
Trigger: RSI is below 30 on that specific timeframe.
Meaning: Potential bullish reversal or bounce.
⚪ GRAY DOTS (Neutral)
Trigger: RSI is between 30 and 70.
Meaning: No extreme momentum present.
👻 TRANSPARENCY (Signal Strength)
The visibility of the dot tells you exactly which Timeframe (Row) is triggered. The higher the row, the more solid the color:
Faint (10-30% Visibility): Rows 1-3 (5m, 15m, 1h). Used for scalping entries.
Medium (40-60% Visibility): Rows 4-6 (4h, 1D, 1W). Used for swing trading context.
Solid (70-100% Visibility): Rows 7-10 (1M, 3M, 6M, 12M). Used for identifying major macro cycles.
Visual Elements
Structure: Row 1 (Bottom) represents the 5-minute timeframe. Row 10 (Top) represents the 12-Month timeframe.
Vertical Alignment: If you see a vertical column of Red or Green dots, it indicates Multi-Timeframe Confluence —a highly probable reversal point.
Key Benefit
The goal of the Smart RSI MTF Matrix is to keep your main chart clean while providing maximum information. You can instantly see if a short-term pullback (Faint Green Dot) is happening within a long-term uptrend (Solid Gray/Red Dot), allowing for precision entries.
Have fun :)

[CT] Kurutoga MTF HistogramWhat is Kurutoga MTF Histogram?
The Kurutoga MTF Histogram is a multi-time-frame momentum and mean-deviation tool.
It measures how far the current close is trading away from a rolling midpoint of price and then displays that deviation as a color-coded histogram.
Instead of looking only at one lookback, this version plots three Kurutoga “leads” at the same time:
Kurutoga Lead (x1) – base length
Kurutoga Lead 2x – slower, 2 × base length
Kurutoga Lead 4x – slowest, 4 × base length
Each lead is calculated both on the chart’s timeframe (LTF) and on a Higher Time Frame (HTF) of your choice, so you can see short-term deviation inside a higher-time-frame structure.
4-color Kurutoga scheme
Each Kurutoga lead uses a 4-color MACD-style scheme:
For a given lead:
Up Light – divergence ≥ 0 and rising compared to the previous bar
Up Dark – divergence ≥ 0 and falling (positive but losing momentum)
Down Light – divergence < 0 and falling (bearish momentum increasing)
Down Dark – divergence < 0 and rising (negative but contracting)
By default the same four teal / red hues are shared across x1, x2, and x4. The only difference between the leads is transparency:
x1 = strongest (least transparent)
x2 = medium opacity
x4 = faintest
This lets you see all three layers at once without the chart becoming a solid block of color.
The HTF areas use the same palette but with an extra transparency offset applied, so they appear as soft background bands rather than competing with the histograms.
Inputs and how to use them
1. Base Length
Defines the lookback for the main Kurutoga Lead.
The script automatically creates:
len1 = baseLength
len2 = baseLength × 2
len3 = baseLength × 4
Smaller base lengths → faster, more reactive histograms.
Larger base lengths → smoother, trend-focused behavior.
2. Higher Time Frame
This is the HTF used for the area plots and HTF midpoints.
Examples:
5-minute chart with HTF = 30 or 60 minutes
15-minute chart with HTF = 4H or 1D
The idea is to trade on the lower timeframe while seeing how far price is stretched relative to a higher-time-frame range midpoint.
3. Show / Hide toggles
Under “Show / Hide” you can independently turn on/off:
Kurutoga Lead (x1)
Kurutoga Lead 2x
Kurutoga Lead 4x
HTF Lead, HTF Lead 2x, HTF Lead 4x
This lets you:
Run only a single Kurutoga if you want a clean panel, or
Stack multiple leads for a “multi-speed” view of extension and mean reversion.
4. Color Scheme (4-color Kurutoga)
Up Light / Up Dark / Down Light / Down Dark – base hues used for every lead.
Lead opacity (x1, 2x, 4x) – sets how strong or faint each lead appears.
x1 is usually your primary “trading speed.”
x2 and x4 can be faded so they act as context.
Extra transparency for HTF areas – additional opacity applied on top of each lead’s opacity when drawing HTF areas. This keeps the HTF layer subtle.
You can fine-tune the exact teal/red values here to match your personal palette.
Practical reading & trade ideas
Trend alignment
When all three Kurutoga leads (x1, 2x, 4x) are above zero, price is trading above its rolling mid-range on multiple speeds → bullish environment.
When all three are below zero, you have a multi-speed bearish environment.
Mixed readings (e.g., x1 above zero, x4 below zero) can signal transition or mean-reversion areas.
Momentum vs exhaustion
Up Light / Down Light (light colors) show momentum expanding in that direction.
Up Dark / Down Dark (dark colors) show momentum contracting – price still on that side of zero, but the push is weakening.
After a run of Up Light bars, a shift to Up Dark may hint at a stall or pullback.
After a run of Down Light bars, a shift to Down Dark may hint at short covering / bounce potential.
Multi-time-frame confluence
Use the HTF areas as a backdrop:
If LTF Kurutoga leads are above zero while the HTF area is also positive (and ideally expanding), that’s strong bullish alignment.
If LTF leads are trying to flip up while HTF divergence is still deeply negative, you may be looking at a counter-trend bounce rather than a true trend change.
Example setups
Trend-following entries:
Look for x2 & x4 leads on the same side of zero as the HTF area, then use x1 color shifts (from Down Dark → Up Light or vice versa) to fine-tune entries in the direction of that higher-time-frame bias.
Mean-reversion fades:
Watch for extreme Kurutoga values where x1/x2 are strongly extended beyond zero while color flips from Light to Dark (momentum stalling) against an opposing HTF backdrop .
Notes
The indicator is non-directional by itself – it measures distance from a rolling midpoint rather than trend structure or order flow. It works best when combined with your existing price action/trend tools (moving averages, HLBO, structure zones, etc.).
Because HTF values are brought down via request.security, choose HTF settings that make sense for your product and session (for example, don’t use very high HTFs on thin intraday markets).
Use the Kurutoga MTF Histogram as a visual scanner for extension, momentum regime, and multi-speed alignment, then layer your own entry/exit rules on top.
Predictive Analysis Engine — Adaptive MACD Forecasting with R² SProfessional and Rule-Compliant Description (Ready for Publishing)
This description explains every component of the script in detail, highlights its originality, and provides traders with clear usage instructions — exactly what TradingView expects.
Predictive Analysis Engine (PAE)
This script is a predictive analysis model that combines trend filtering, linear forecasting, stability analysis (R²), and outlier filtering using ATR to produce an advanced, leading-style version of MACD rather than a traditional lagging one.
The indicator does not rely on random elements; it is built on four core components that work together:
1. Stability Measurement Using R²
The coefficient of determination (R²) is calculated based on the correlation between price and time, then normalized to a 0–1 scale.
A higher R² indicates more stable price movement, allowing the script to increase forecast accuracy.
Here, R² acts as a primary component of the Confidence Filter.
2. Forecasted Price Using Linear Regression
Instead of relying solely on the current price, the script uses:
Linear Regression
Weighted blending between the forecasted price and actual price
This enables the script to build a Leading MACD based on an “advanced” price that anticipates probable movement.
3. Advanced MACD With Adaptive Smoothing
MACD is applied to the blended (real + forecasted) price using:
Fast EMA
Slow EMA
MACD base
Optional TEMA for reducing signal lag
Adjustable histogram smoothing
This process makes MACD more responsive with significantly less lag, reacting faster to predicted movements.
4. Predictive MACD (Projected MACD)
Linear Regression is applied again — but this time to:
MACD
Signal
Histogram
to generate projected versions of each line (proj_macd, proj_signal), while proj_hist is used to produce early signals before the actual crossover occurs.
5. Volatility Filtering Using ATR & Volatility Ratio
ATR is used to evaluate:
Strength of movement
Overextension levels
Signal quality
ATR is combined with R² to compute:
Confidence = R² × Volatility Ratio
This suppresses weak signals and boosts high-quality, reliable ones.
6. Predictive Signals + Safety Filters
A signal is triggered when:
proj_hist crosses the 0 level
Confidence exceeds the required threshold
The real histogram is not excessively stretched (extra safety)
The script includes:
BUY / SELL
BUY_STRONG / SELL_STRONG
based on the smoothed histogram trend.
7. Coloring, Background & Visual Enhancements
The script colors:
The histogram
Chart background
Signal lines
to clearly highlight momentum direction and confidence conditions.
8. Built-In Alerts
The script provides ready-to-use alerts:
BUY Alert
SELL Alert
Both based on the predictive MACD model.
How to Use the Script
Add it to any timeframe and any market.
BUY/SELL signals are generated from the projected histogram crossover.
Higher Confidence = stronger signal.
Background colors help visualize trend transitions instantly.
Recommended to combine with support/resistance or price action.
Indicator Objective
This script is designed to deliver early insight into momentum shifts using a blend of:
Linear forecasting
Trend stability via R²
Signal quality filtering via ATR
A fast and adaptive advanced MACD
Smart RSI MTF [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of constantly switching between timeframes to check the RSI, only to miss the bigger picture?
The Smart RSI MTF (Multi-Timeframe) is designed to solve this exact problem. It is a streamlined chart overlay that monitors RSI conditions across up to 10 different timeframes simultaneously —from the 1-minute chart all the way up to the Monthly view.
This indicator removes the need for multiple open tabs and declutters your analysis by plotting signals directly on your main chart using a smart "visual hierarchy" system based on transparency.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The Smart RSI MTF relies on a sophisticated 3-layer logic to deliver clear, actionable context:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: The script runs 10 independent RSI calculations in the background. It checks standard intervals (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to ensure you never miss a momentum extreme on any scale.
Classic RSI Thresholds:
Overbought (> 70): Indicates price may be extended to the upside.
Oversold (< 30): Indicates price may be extended to the downside.
Smart Visibility System (The "Secret Sauce"): Not all signals are equal. A 5-minute Overbought signal is "noise" compared to a Weekly Overbought signal. This indicator automatically applies Transparency to differentiate importance:
Minutes = High Transparency (Faint).
Hours = Medium Transparency.
Days/Weeks/Months = No Transparency (Solid/Bold).
🚦 How to Read the Indicator
The indicator plots shapes (Labels by default) directly above or below the candles. The appearance tells you the direction and the timeframe significance:
🟥 RED SIGNALS (Overbought Condition)
Trigger: RSI is above 70 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed above the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bearish reversal or pullback.
🟩 GREEN SIGNALS (Oversold Condition)
Trigger: RSI is below 30 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed below the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bullish reversal or bounce.
👻 TRANSPARENCY (Signal Strength)
Faint/Ghostly: The signal comes from a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m). Use for scalping or entry timing.
Solid/Bright: The signal comes from a major timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Use for swing trading and identifying major market turns.
Visual Elements
Symbol Shapes: Fully customizable (Label, Diamond, Circle, Triangle, etc.) via settings.
Stacking: If multiple timeframes trigger at once, symbols will overlay, creating a visually denser and darker color, indicating Confluence .
Key Benefit
The goal of the Smart RSI MTF is to help traders instantly spot Confluence . When you see a faint short-term signal align with a solid long-term signal, you have identified a high-probability reversal zone without leaving your chart.
Have fun :)

Order Flow AnalysisOrder Flow Pressure Suite — Wick, Volume & Absorption-Based Pressure Map
This indicator builds a composite buying/selling pressure score from candle structure, volume behavior, and absorption signals.
It is designed to infer the “intent” behind price moves by looking at how candles form, where they close, and how volume behaves — even without access to true bid/ask or footprint data.
Core Concepts
Wick-to-Body Analysis
The script evaluates the ratio of upper and lower wicks to the total candle range.
Strong wicks with relatively small bodies are treated as rejections :
Long upper wick → potential selling pressure / rejection of higher prices
Long lower wick → potential buying pressure / rejection of lower prices
Close Position Analysis
The close is normalized within the candle range:
Close near the high → bullish pressure
Close near the low → bearish pressure
Close near the middle → more neutral , context taken from wicks and volume
Volume Delta Estimation
Since true bid/ask data is not available on standard charts, the script estimates “volume delta” by distributing total volume between buyers and sellers based on candle characteristics:
Bull candles receive more “buying volume,” weighted toward closes near the high
Bear candles receive more “selling volume,” weighted toward closes near the low
This is an approximation of order flow, not a direct time & sales feed.
Absorption Detection
The script looks for candles where volume is high but price movement is relatively small .
This combination often suggests:
Bullish absorption → buyers absorbing aggressive selling (potential accumulation)
Bearish absorption → sellers absorbing aggressive buying (potential distribution)
Absorption zones are tracked over a configurable lookback and can be shaded in the background.
Composite Pressure Oscillator
All the above components (wicks, close position, heuristic volume delta, absorption bias) are blended into a single pressure score :
Values > 0 → net buying pressure
Values < 0 → net selling pressure
The raw score is smoothed with an EMA to reduce noise and create a cleaner oscillator line.
Divergence Detection
The indicator compares price pivots to pressure pivots:
Bullish divergence : price makes a lower low while pressure makes a higher low
Bearish divergence : price makes a higher high while pressure makes a lower high
These conditions can help highlight potential exhaustion or hidden participation from larger players.
Visual Elements
Histogram showing the intensity of buying/selling pressure
Color-coding for increasing vs. decreasing pressure
Background shading for detected absorption zones
Status table summarizing current pressure, trend bias, volume delta, wick signal, and absorption state in real time
How To Use
Use the pressure oscillator to gauge whether the current bar sequence is dominated by buyers or sellers. Strong positive readings may indicate sustained buying pressure; strong negatives may indicate sustained selling pressure.
Watch for divergences between price and the pressure oscillator around key levels, swings, or zones you already care about.
Use absorption zones and wick rejection signals as additional context around support/resistance, breakouts, or failed moves.
Treat all signals as context and confluence , not as stand-alone trade entries or exits. This tool is best used alongside your existing price action, volume, and risk management framework.
Important Notes & Limitations
This script does not access real bid/ask, footprint, or order book data . All volume delta and absorption interpretations are heuristic estimates derived from OHLCV candles.
Signals are probabilistic , not guarantees. They can be early, late, or outright wrong in fast or low-liquidity markets.
Always validate signals with your own analysis, timeframe alignment, and risk management. This indicator is intended as an analytical tool , not financial advice.
Abacus Community Williams %R + Bollinger %B📌 Indicator Description (Professional & Clear)
Williams %R + Bollinger %B Momentum Indicator (ThinkOrSwim Style)
This custom indicator combines Williams %R and Bollinger %B into a single, unified panel to provide a powerful momentum-and-positioning view of price action. Modeled after the ThinkOrSwim version used by professional traders, it displays:
✅ Williams %R (10-period) – Yellow Line
This oscillator measures the market's position relative to recent highs and lows.
It plots on a 0% to 100% scale, where:
80–100% → Overbought region
20–0% → Oversold region
50% → Momentum equilibrium
Williams %R helps identify exhaustion, trend strength, and potential reversal zones.
✅ Bollinger %B (20, 2.0) – Turquoise Histogram Bars
%B shows where price is trading relative to the Bollinger Bands:
Above 50% → Price is in the upper half of the band (bullish pressure)
Below 50% → Price is in the lower half (bearish pressure)
Near 100% → Price pushing upper band (possible breakout)
Near 0% → Price testing lower band (possible breakdown)
The histogram visually represents momentum shifts in real time, creating a clean profile of volatility and strength.

Tactical Deviation🎯 TACTICAL DEVIATION - Volume-Backed VWAP Deviation Analysis
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic VWAP indicators, Tactical Deviation combines:
• Multi-timeframe VWAP deviation bands (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
• Volume spike intelligence - signals only appear with volume confirmation
• Pivot reversal detection at deviation extremes
• Optional multi-VWAP confluence system
• Smart defaults for quality over quantity
This unique combination filters weak setups and identifies high-probability entries at extreme price deviations from fair value.
📊 DEFAULT SETTINGS (Ready to Use)
✅ Daily VWAP with ±2σ deviation bands
✅ Volume spike detection (1.5x average required)
✅ 2σ minimum deviation for signals
❌ Weekly/Monthly VWAPs (enable for multi-timeframe)
❌ Pivot reversal requirement (enable for stronger signals)
❌ Fill zones (optional visual enhancement)
Why: Daily VWAP is most relevant for intraday trading. 2σ bands catch meaningful moves. Volume spikes ensure conviction. Clean chart focuses on what matters.
🚀 HOW TO USE
BASIC USAGE:
• Green triangles (below bars) = Long signals at oversold deviations
• Red triangles (above bars) = Short signals at overbought deviations
SIGNAL QUALITY:
• Normal size, bright colors = Volume spike (best quality)
• Small size, lighter colors = Volume momentum
• Tiny size = No volume confirmation
DEVIATION ZONES:
• ±2σ = Extreme deviation (signals appear here)
• ±1σ to ±2σ = Extended but not extreme
• Within ±1σ = Normal range
TRADING APPROACHES:
Mean Reversion:
→ Enter when price reaches ±2σ with volume spike
→ Target: Return to VWAP or opposite band
→ Stop: Beyond extreme deviation
Trend Continuation:
→ Use bands to identify pullbacks
→ Enter pullback to VWAP in trending market
→ Volume confirms continuation
Reversal Trading:
→ Enable "Require Pivot Reversal" for stronger signals
→ Signals only when deviation + pivot reversal occur
→ Higher probability, fewer signals
⚙️ EXPLORE SETTINGS FOR FULL USE
VWAP SETTINGS:
• Show Weekly/Monthly VWAP = Multi-timeframe context
• Show ±1σ Bands = Normal deviation range

VISUAL SETTINGS:
• Show Fill Zones = Shaded areas between bands
• Fill Opacity = Transparency adjustment
• Line Widths = Customize thickness
💡 PRO TIPS
1. Start with defaults, then enable features as you learn
2. Volume spike requirement filters weak moves - keep it enabled
3. Enable Weekly/Monthly VWAPs for higher timeframe context
4. Enable confluence for swing trading setups
5. Pivot reversals: ON for reversals, OFF for continuations
6. Check top-right info table for current deviation levels
🎨 VISUAL GUIDE
• Cyan Line = Daily VWAP (fair value)
• Cyan Bands = Daily deviation zones
• Orange Line = Weekly VWAP (if enabled)
• Purple Line = Monthly VWAP (if enabled)
• Green Triangle = Long signal (oversold)
• Red Triangle = Short signal (overbought)
⚠️ IMPORTANT
Educational purposes only. Always use proper risk management. Signals are based on statistical deviation, not guarantees. Volume confirmation improves quality but doesn't guarantee outcomes. Combine with your own analysis.
The unique combination of VWAP deviation analysis, volume profile confirmation, pivot identification, and multi-timeframe confluence in a single clean interface makes Tactical Deviation different from basic VWAP indicators.
Happy Trading! 📈
Average Directional Index infoAverage Directional Index (ADX) is a technical indicator created by J. Welles Wilder that measures trend strength (not direction!). Values range from 0 to 100.
This indicator is a supplementary tool for assessing whether trend strategies are worthwhile, monitoring changes in trend strength and avoiding weak, choppy movements
Value Interpretation:
0-25: Weak trend or sideways market
25-50: Moderate to strong trend
50-75: Very strong trend
75-100: Extremely strong trend (rare)
Important: ADX does not indicate trend direction (up/down), only its strength!
This script indicator includes additional features:
1. ADX Plot (purple line)
Basic ADX value showing current trend strength.
2. ADX Trend Analysis (arrows)
The script compares current ADX with its 10-period moving average with ±5% tolerance:
↑ (green): ADX rising → trend strengthening
↓ (red): ADX falling → trend weakening
⮆ (gray): ADX stable → trend strength unchanged
3. Information Table
Displays current ADX value with trend arrow in the top-right corner.
Parameters to Configure
Smoothing (default: 14) - Indicator smoothing period
Lower values (e.g., 7): more sensitive, more signals
Higher values (e.g., 21): more stable, less noise
Indicator Length (default: 14) - Period for calculating directional movement (+DI/-DI)
Wilder's standard value is 14
Trend Length (default: 10) - Period for moving average to analyze ADX dynamics
Determines how quickly changes in trend strength are detected
Practical Application
✅ Strategy 1: Trend Strength Filter
1. ADX > 25 → look for positions aligned with the trend
2. ADX < 25 → avoid trend strategies, consider oscillators
✅ Strategy 2: Entries on Strengthening Trend
1. ADX crosses above 25 + arrow ↑ → trend gaining momentum
2. Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMA) for direction confirmation
✅ Strategy 3: Exhaustion Warning
1. ADX > 50 + arrow ↓ → strong trend may be exhausting
2. Consider profit protection or trailing stop

Momentum Tide [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated momentum-based trend identification system that measures normalized price deviation from an EMA baseline using ATR scaling and hyperbolic tangent smoothing for precise trend state classification. Utilizing advanced signal processing with configurable neutral bands and slope sensitivity adjustments, this indicator delivers institutional-grade momentum analysis with continuous strength measurement and visual trend confirmation. The system's three-state classification (bullish, bearish, neutral) combined with dynamic color intensity scaling provides comprehensive market momentum assessment across varying volatility conditions.
🔶 Advanced Baseline Deviation Framework
Implements EMA-based baseline calculation with ATR-normalized deviation measurement to create volatility-adjusted momentum signals. The system calculates raw price deviation from the baseline, scales by ATR and slope sensitivity factor, then applies exponential smoothing for stable signal generation with reduced noise and false transitions.
// Core Momentum Calculation
Baseline = ta.ema(close, Baseline_Length)
ATR_Value = ta.atr(ATR_Length)
Raw_Deviation = (close - Baseline) / (ATR_Value * Slope_Scaler)
Signal = ta.ema(Raw_Deviation, Signal_Smoothing)
🔶 Hyperbolic Tangent Normalization Engine
Features sophisticated tanh transformation that clamps raw deviation signals into normalized -1 to +1 range for consistent interpretation across all market conditions. The system applies safe exponential calculations with value capping to prevent overflow while maintaining signal sensitivity, creating bounded momentum readings suitable for systematic threshold analysis.
// Tanh Normalization
Clamped_Signal = tanh(Signal) // Bounded to
Strength = abs(Clamped_Signal) // Momentum intensity
🔶 Three-State Classification System
Implements intelligent trend state determination using configurable neutral band thresholds to reduce whipsaw signals during ranging conditions. The system classifies market as bullish (+1) when momentum exceeds upper neutral band, bearish (-1) below lower neutral band, and neutral (0) within the band, providing clear directional bias with built-in consolidation recognition.
🔶 Dynamic Color Intensity Architecture
Provides advanced visual feedback through momentum strength-based color intensity modulation, where stronger trends display more opaque colors and weaker trends show increased transparency. The system dynamically adjusts color alpha values based on absolute momentum strength, creating intuitive visual representation of trend conviction across baseline, candles, and bars.
🔶 Trend Strength Meter Visualization
Features innovative horizontal gradient meter displaying real-time momentum position across bear-to-bull spectrum with 24-segment resolution. The system creates smooth color transitions from bearish red through neutral gray to bullish green, with arrow indicator showing precise momentum location for instant trend strength assessment without cluttering the price chart.
🔶 Intelligent Flip Detection System
Generates transition markers when trend state changes from neutral/bearish to bullish or neutral/bullish to bearish, with duplicate signal suppression to prevent marker clustering. The system tracks previous signal states and only plots new markers on genuine trend reversals, providing clean entry signal visualization for systematic trading approaches.
snapshot
🔶 Configurable Neutral Band Framework
Implements adjustable neutral zone width using ATR percentage parameters to optimize signal frequency for different trading styles and market conditions. Wider bands reduce flip frequency for position trading while tighter bands increase sensitivity for active trading strategies, enabling customization without code modification.
🔶 Slope Sensitivity Adjustment
Features slope scaler parameter that modulates ATR normalization factor, controlling signal smoothness versus responsiveness trade-off. Higher values create smoother momentum readings with fewer transitions while lower values increase snappiness for faster reaction to price changes, allowing optimization across different volatility regimes and timeframes.
🔶 Comprehensive Visual Integration
Provides multi-dimensional trend visualization through color-coded baseline overlay, momentum-synchronized candle coloring, and bar color modification with configurable display toggles. The system includes optional flip markers and strength meter with position control for complete chart integration without visual overload.

HTF BIAS FILTER🧭HTF Bias Filter Indicator: 5 in 1 indicator
Technical Overview
The Bias Filter is a comprehensive multi-timeframe tool designed to confirm directional bias using five key indicators before entering a trade. It plots higher-timeframe Moving Averages directly on the chart and provides an immediate status summary via a static dashboard.
The more confluence on the dashboard, the greater the probability of the direction of the trade.
1. 📊 Display Components
A. Plotted Lines
The indicator uses the request.security function to draw Moving Averages from higher timeframes onto your current chart:
1H EMA 21 (Purple): The 21-period Exponential Moving Average calculated on the 1-Hour (60 min) chart. Plotted using a step-line style.
4H EMA 50 (Red): The 50-period Exponential Moving Average calculated on the 4-Hour (240 min) chart. Plotted using a step-line style.
B. Directional Dashboard
A fixed-position summary table is anchored to the bottom-right corner of the chart, providing a quick glance at the current status of all five filters.
2. 🎨 Colour Logic
Each of the five indicators is assigned a colour based on its current directional signal. The more indicators that show the same colour (confluence), the stronger the signal and the higher the likelihood of a high-probability trade.
🟢 Green indicators are signaling UP/BUY (Bullish momentum or trend).
🔴 Red indicators are signaling DOWN/SELL (Bearish momentum or trend).
⚫ Gray indicators are signaling Mixed or flat directions (neutral or undecided).
Note: The dashboard's main header color is determined by a strict confluence logic (All four 4H filters must align for Green/Red), while individual indicator colors follow the simple rules above.
3. 📋 Indicator Breakdown and Logic
The dashboard provides the direction of five different filters.
3.1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) Trend Indicators
These two signals determine the immediate slope and direction of the primary Moving Averages:
4H EMA 50:
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Compares the current EMA value to the value two bars ago on the 4H chart.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
1H EMA 21:
Timeframe: 1-Hour (60 min)
Logic: Compares the current EMA value to the value two bars ago on the 1H chart.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
3.2. 4-Hour Confluence Filters
These three indicators provide supplementary confirmation on Volume, Price Position, and Momentum, all calculated on the 4-Hour (240 min) chart:
4H OBV (Smoothed):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Direction is based on the current value of the 21-bar smoothed On-Balance Volume (OBV) compared to its value nine bars ago.
Output: UP ↑, DOWN ↓, or FLAT ⏸
4H ATR DIR (EMA Proxy):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Determines the price position by comparing the current Close price against the 4H EMA 50.
Output: BUY 🟢 (Close > EMA 50), SELL 🔴 (Close < EMA 50), or FLAT ⏸️ (Close = EMA 50).
4H RSI (14):
Timeframe: 4-Hour (240 min)
Logic: Momentum check comparing the 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) value against the 50 level.
Output: BUY 🟢 (RSI > 50), SELL 🔴 (RSI < 50), or FLAT ⏸️ (RSI = 50).
200SMA Distance OscillatorThe oscillator measures the percentage deviation of closing price x from SMA200.
The idea behind the oscillator was preceded by an analysis of how often MAs in the index hold/bounce or are broken through.
Basically, the idea was about index analysis, i.e., the macro picture of a market.
Who wants to buy individual stocks when the overall market is plummeting ;-)
Or in other words: How long are you long in a market? When is it time to take profits?
After the analysis of the stability of SMAs in the index was rather modest (ratio of just under 6:4 for bounce to breakout – overall in 20, 50, 100, and 200 frames from 2020 to 2025), it was noticeable that the percentage over- or underperformance was scalable, especially in indices.
And since indices generally move upwards, there were fixed limits for over- and underestimations – especially in the longer term (SMA200) – unlike with individual stocks.
It is therefore more a question of macro trends and less of short-term movements, e.g., in day trading.
It was now interesting to see at what percentage range counter-movements were likely – particularly in the positive range for profit-taking, but of course also in the negative range for entry into sold-off markets.
If, for example, closing prices around +25% above SMA200 were reached in the NDX, the probability is very high that the market has overreacted and an interim correction will follow – so the theory goes.
On the other hand, continuous levels of +5 to +10% are a product of healthy positive development in a bull market and do not necessarily require action.
The oscillator was specifically designed for the NDX, but can also be used for the SPX and others.
The style was based on the RSI, so that the color level rises from 10% to 20% (overbought/oversold principle).
Based on manually examined movements, the criteria were set as follows:
+/-10% = flow / no color background
> +/-10% = border areas / color background
The center line represents the 252 average of the percentage deviations and could also be used as a trigger, provided it has been historically examined and is valid.
The oscillator is very interesting because it behaves completely differently from one financial instrument to another and, as a result, also in the timeframes (4h, D, W).
It would probably make sense to change the flow and border levels in the code when using it outside of indices.
The fact is that the oscillator must be “adjusted” to each instrument in order to achieve its goal of providing the best possible prediction. “Adjusting” refers to the analysis of the levels at which an instrument/asset usually reacts.
As with all indicators and oscillators, it is advisable to take other indicators and, in particular, macro news into account when analyzing this development.
If I find any substantial correlations with other indicators, I will be happy to provide an update.
The idea came from me, the code from Grok.
The code is not 100% perfect, but the data (percentage deviation, color background) is correct according to initial analysis.
In the settings, you can make the lines of the plots invisible. This makes the oscillator clearer. You can also adjust the settings for the average line.
Flux-Tensor Singularity [FTS]Flux-Tensor Singularity - Multi-Factor Market Pressure Indicator
The Flux-Tensor Singularity (FTS) is an advanced multi-factor oscillator that combines volume analysis, momentum tracking, and volatility-weighted normalization to identify critical market inflection points. Unlike traditional single-factor indicators, FTS synthesizes price velocity, volume mass, and volatility context into a unified framework that adapts to changing market regimes.
This indicator identifies extreme market conditions (termed "singularities") where multiple confirming factors converge, then uses a sophisticated scoring system to determine directional bias. It is designed for traders seeking high-probability setups with built-in confluence requirements.
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The indicator is built on the premise that market time is not constant - different market conditions contain varying levels of information density. A 1-minute bar during a major news event contains far more actionable information than a 1-minute bar during overnight low-volume trading. Traditional indicators treat all bars equally; FTS does not.
The theoretical framework draws conceptual parallels to physics (purely as a mental model, not literal physics):
Volume as Mass: Large volume represents significant market participation and "weight" behind price moves. Just as massive objects have stronger gravitational effects, high-volume moves carry more significance.
Price Change as Velocity: The rate of price movement through price space represents momentum and directional force.
Volatility as Time Dilation: When volatility is high relative to its historical norm, the "information density" of each bar increases. The indicator weights these periods more heavily, similar to how time dilates near massive objects in physics.
This is a pedagogical metaphor to create a coherent mental model - the underlying mathematics are standard financial calculations combined in a novel way.
MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
The indicator calculates a composite singularity value through four distinct steps:
Step 1: Raw Singularity Calculation
S_raw = (ΔP × V) × γ²
Where:
ΔP = Price Velocity = close - close
V = Volume Mass = log(volume + 1)
γ² = Time Dilation Factor = (ATR_local / ATR_global)²
Volume Transformation: Volume is log-transformed because raw volume can have extreme outliers (10x-100x normal). The logarithm compresses these spikes while preserving their significance. This is standard practice in volume analysis.
Volatility Weighting: The ratio of short-term ATR (5 periods) to long-term ATR (user-defined lookback) is squared to create a volatility amplification factor. When local volatility exceeds global volatility, this ratio increases, amplifying the raw singularity value. This makes the indicator regime-aware.
Step 2: Normalization
The raw singularity values are normalized to a 0-100 scale using a stochastic-style calculation:
S_normalized = ((S_raw - S_min) / (S_max - S_min)) × 100
Where S_min and S_max are the lowest and highest raw singularity values over the lookback period.
Step 3: Epsilon Compression
S_compressed = 50 + ((S_normalized - 50) / ε)
This is the critical innovation that makes the sensitivity control functional. By applying compression AFTER normalization, the epsilon parameter actually affects the final output:
ε < 1.0: Expands range (more signals)
ε = 1.0: No change (default)
ε > 1.0: Compresses toward 50 (fewer, higher-quality signals)
For example, with ε = 2.0, a normalized value of 90 becomes 70, making threshold breaches rarer and more significant.
Step 4: Smoothing
S_final = EMA(S_compressed, smoothing_period)
An exponential moving average removes high-frequency noise while preserving trend.
SIGNAL GENERATION LOGIC
When the tensor crosses above the upper threshold (default 90) or below the lower threshold (default 10), an extreme event is detected. However, the indicator does NOT immediately generate a buy or sell signal. Instead, it analyzes market context through a multi-factor scoring system:
Scoring Components:
Price Structure (+1 point): Current bar bullish/bearish
Momentum (+1 point): Price higher/lower than N bars ago
Trend Context (+2 points): Fast EMA above/below slow EMA (weighted heavier)
Acceleration (+1 point): Rate of change increasing/decreasing
Volume Multiplier (×1.5): If volume > average, multiply score
The highest score (bullish vs bearish) determines signal direction. This prevents the common indicator failure mode of "overbought can stay overbought" by requiring directional confirmation.
Signal Conditions:
A BUY signal requires:
Extreme event detection (tensor crosses threshold)
Bullish score > Bearish score
Price confirmation: Bullish candle (optional, user-controlled)
Volume confirmation: Volume > average (optional, user-controlled)
Momentum confirmation: Positive momentum (optional, user-controlled)
A SELL signal requires the inverse conditions.
INPUTS EXPLAINED - Core Parameters:
Global Horizon (Context): Default 20. Lookback period for normalization and volatility comparison. Higher values = smoother but less responsive. Lower values = more signals but potentially more noise.
Tensor Smoothing: Default 3. EMA period applied to final output. Removes "quantum foam" (high-frequency noise). Range 1-20.
Singularity Threshold: Default 90. Values above this (or below 100-threshold) trigger extreme event detection. Higher = rarer, stronger signals.
Signal Sensitivity (Epsilon): Default 1.0. Post-normalization compression factor. This is the key innovation - it actually works because it's applied AFTER normalization. Range 0.1-5.0.
Signal Interpreter Toggles:
Require Price Confirmation: Default ON. Only generates buy signals on bullish candles, sell signals on bearish candles. Reduces false signals but may delay entry.
Require Volume Confirmation: Default ON. Only signals when volume > average. Critical for stocks/crypto, less important for forex (unreliable volume data).
Use Momentum Filter: Default ON. Requires momentum agreement with signal direction. Prevents counter-trend signals.
Momentum Lookback: Default 5. Number of bars for momentum calculation. Shorter = more responsive, longer = trend-following bias.
Visual Controls:
Colors: Customizable colors for bullish flux, bearish flux, background, and event horizon.
Visual Transparency: Default 85. Master control for all visual elements (accretion disk, field lines, particles, etc.). Range 50-99. Signals and dashboard have separate controls.
Visibility Toggles: Individual on/off switches for:
Gravitational field lines (trend EMAs)
Field reversals (trend crossovers)
Accretion disk (background gradient)
Singularity diamonds (neutral extreme events)
Energy particles (volume bursts)
Event horizon flash (extreme event background)
Signal background flash
Signal Size: Tiny/Small/Normal triangle size
Signal Offsets: Separate controls for buy and sell signal vertical positioning (percentage of price)
Dashboard Settings:
Show Dashboard: Toggle on/off
Position: 9 placement options (all corners, centers, middles)
Text Size: Tiny/Small/Normal/Large
Background Transparency: 0-50, separate from visual transparency
VISUAL ELEMENTS EXPLAINED
1. Accretion Disk (Background Gradient):
A three-layer gradient background that intensifies as the tensor approaches extremes. The outer disk appears at any non-neutral reading, the inner disk activates above 70 or below 30, and the core layer appears above 85 or below 15. Color indicates direction (cyan = bullish, red = bearish). This provides instant visual feedback on market pressure intensity.
2. Gravitational Field Lines (EMAs):
Two trend-following EMAs (10 and 30 period) visualized as colored lines. These represent the "curvature" of market trend - when they diverge, trend is strong; when they converge, trend is weakening. Crossovers mark potential trend reversals.
3. Field Reversals (Circles):
Small circles appear when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, indicating a potential trend change. These are distinct from extreme events and appear at normal market structure shifts.
4. Singularity Diamonds:
Small diamond shapes appear when the tensor reaches extreme levels (>90 or <10) but doesn't meet the full signal criteria. These are "watch" events - extreme pressure exists but directional confirmation is lacking.
5. Energy Particles (Dots):
Tiny dots appear when volume exceeds 2× average, indicating significant participation. Color matches bar direction. These highlight genuine high-conviction moves versus low-volume drifts.
6. Event Horizon Flash:
A golden background flash appears the instant any extreme threshold is breached, before directional analysis. This alerts you to pay attention.
7. Signal Background Flash:
When a full buy/sell signal is confirmed, the background flashes cyan (buy) or red (sell). This is your primary alert that all conditions are met.
8. Signal Triangles:
The actual buy (▲) and sell (▼) markers. These only appear when ALL selected confirmation criteria are satisfied. Position is offset from bars to avoid overlap with other indicators.
DASHBOARD METRICS EXPLAINED
The dashboard displays real-time calculated values:
Event Density: Current tensor value (0-100). Above 90 or below 10 = critical. Icon changes: 🔥 (extreme high), ❄️ (extreme low), ○ (neutral).
Time Dilation (γ): Current volatility ratio squared. Values >2.0 indicate extreme volatility environments. >1.5 = elevated, >1.0 = above average. Icon: ⚡ (extreme), ⚠ (elevated), ○ (normal).
Mass (Vol): Log-transformed volume value. Compared to volume ratio (current/average). Icon: ● (>2× avg), ◐ (>1× avg), ○ (below avg).
Velocity (ΔP): Raw price change. Direction arrow indicates momentum direction. Shows the actual price delta value.
Bullish Flux: Current bullish context score. Displayed as both a bar chart (visual) and numeric value. Brighter when bullish score dominates.
Bearish Flux: Current bearish context score. Same visualization as bullish flux. These scores compete - the winner determines signal direction.
Field: Trend direction based on EMA relationship. "Repulsive" (uptrend), "Attractive" (downtrend), "Neutral" (ranging). Icon: ⬆⬇↔
State: Current market condition:
🚀 EJECTION: Buy signal active
💥 COLLAPSE: Sell signal active
⚠ CRITICAL: Extreme event, no directional confirmation
● STABLE: Normal market conditions
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1. Wait for Extreme Events:
The indicator is designed to be selective. Don't trade every fluctuation - wait for tensor to reach >90 or <10. This alone is not a signal.
2. Check Context Scores:
Look at the Bullish Flux vs Bearish Flux in the dashboard. If scores are close (within 1-2 points), the market is indecisive - skip the trade.
3. Confirm with Signals:
Only act when a full triangle signal appears (▲ or ▼). This means ALL your selected confirmation criteria have been met.
4. Use with Price Structure:
Combine with support/resistance levels. A buy signal AT support is higher probability than a buy signal in the middle of nowhere.
5. Respect the Dashboard State:
When State shows "CRITICAL" (⚠), it means extreme pressure exists but direction is unclear. These are the most dangerous moments - wait for resolution.
6. Volume Matters:
Energy particles (dots) and the Mass metric tell you if institutions are participating. Signals without volume confirmation are lower probability.

Opening hour (9:30-10:30 ET) = highest singularity probability
Strong correlation with VIX - high VIX = more extreme events
Best on 15m-1h for day trading
WHAT MAKES THIS INDICATOR UNIQUE
1. Post-Normalization Sensitivity Control:
Unlike most oscillators where sensitivity controls don't actually work (they're applied before normalization, which then rescales everything), FTS applies epsilon compression AFTER normalization. This means the sensitivity parameter genuinely affects signal frequency. This is a novel implementation not found in standard oscillators.
2. Multi-Factor Confluence Requirement:
The indicator doesn't just detect "overbought" or "oversold" - it detects extreme conditions AND THEN analyzes context through five separate factors (price structure, momentum, trend, acceleration, volume). Most indicators are single-factor; FTS requires confluence.
3. Volatility-Weighted Normalization:
By squaring the ATR ratio (local/global), the indicator adapts to changing market regimes. A 1% move in a low-volatility environment is treated differently than a 1% move in a high-volatility environment. Traditional indicators treat all moves equally regardless of context.
4. Volume Integration at the Core:
Volume isn't an afterthought or optional filter - it's baked into the fundamental equation as "mass." The log transformation handles outliers elegantly while preserving significance. Most price-based indicators completely ignore volume.
5. Adaptive Scoring System:
Rather than fixed buy/sell rules ("RSI >70 = sell"), FTS uses competitive scoring where bullish and bearish evidence compete. The winner determines direction. This solves the classic problem of "overbought markets can stay overbought during strong uptrends."
6. Comprehensive Visual Feedback:
The multi-layer visualization system (accretion disk, field lines, particles, flashes) provides instant intuitive feedback on market state without requiring dashboard reading. You can see pressure building before extreme thresholds are hit.
7. Separate Extreme Detection and Signal Generation:
"Singularity diamonds" show extreme events that don't meet full criteria, while "signal triangles" only appear when ALL conditions are met. This distinction helps traders understand when pressure exists versus when it's actionable.
COMPARISON TO EXISTING INDICATORS
vs. RSI/Stochastic:
These normalize price relative to recent range. FTS normalizes (price change × log volume × volatility ratio) - a composite metric, not just price position.
vs. Chaikin Money Flow:
CMF combines price and volume but lacks volatility context and doesn't use adaptive normalization or post-normalization compression.
vs. Bollinger Bands + Volume:
Bollinger Bands show volatility but don't integrate volume or create a unified oscillator. They're separate components, not synthesized.
vs. MACD:
MACD is pure momentum. FTS combines momentum with volume weighting and volatility context, plus provides a normalized 0-100 scale.
The specific combination of log-volume weighting, squared volatility amplification, post-normalization epsilon compression, and multi-factor directional scoring is unique to this indicator.
LIMITATIONS AND PROPER DISCLOSURE
Not a Holy Grail:
No indicator is perfect. This tool identifies high-probability setups but cannot predict the future. Losses will occur. Use proper risk management.
Requires Confirmation:
Best used in conjunction with price action analysis, support/resistance levels, and higher timeframe trend. Don't trade signals blindly.
Volume Data Dependency:
On forex (spot) and some low-volume instruments, volume data is unreliable or tick-volume only. Disable volume confirmation in these cases.
Lagging Components:
The EMA smoothing and trend filters are inherently lagging. In extremely fast moves, signals may appear after the initial thrust.
Extreme Event Rarity:
With conservative settings (high threshold, high epsilon), signals can be rare. This is by design - quality over quantity. If you need more frequent signals, reduce threshold to 85 and epsilon to 0.7.
Not Financial Advice:
This indicator is an analytical tool. All trading decisions and their consequences are solely your responsibility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
BEST PRACTICES
Don't trade every singularity - wait for context confirmation
Higher timeframes = higher reliability
Combine with support/resistance for entry refinement
Volume confirmation is CRITICAL for stocks/crypto (toggle off only for forex)
During major news events, singularities are inevitable but direction may be uncertain - use wider stops
When bullish and bearish flux scores are close, skip the trade
Test settings on your specific instrument/timeframe before live trading
Use the dashboard actively - it contains critical diagnostic information

Bifurcation Zone - CAEBifurcation Zone — Cognitive Adversarial Engine (BZ-CAE)
Bifurcation Zone — CAE (BZ-CAE) is a next-generation divergence detection system enhanced by a Cognitive Adversarial Engine that evaluates both sides of every potential trade before presenting signals. Unlike traditional divergence indicators that show every price-oscillator disagreement regardless of context, BZ-CAE applies comprehensive market-state intelligence to identify only the divergences that occur in favorable conditions with genuine probability edges.
The system identifies structural bifurcation points — critical junctures where price and momentum disagree, signaling potential reversals or continuations — then validates these opportunities through five interconnected intelligence layers: Trend Conviction Scoring , Directional Momentum Alignment , Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling , Adversarial Validation , and Confidence Scoring . The result is a selective, context-aware signal system that filters noise and highlights high-probability setups.
This is not a "buy the arrow" indicator. It's a decision support framework that teaches you how to read market state, evaluate divergence quality, and make informed trading decisions based on quantified intelligence rather than hope.
What Sets BZ-CAE Apart: Technical Architecture
The Problem With Traditional Divergence Indicators
Most divergence indicators operate on a simple rule: if price makes a higher high and RSI makes a lower high, show a bearish signal. If price makes a lower low and RSI makes a higher low, show a bullish signal. This creates several critical problems:
Context Blindness : They show counter-trend signals in powerful trends that rarely reverse, leading to repeated losses as you fade momentum.
Signal Spam : Every minor price-oscillator disagreement generates an alert, overwhelming you with low-quality setups and creating analysis paralysis.
No Quality Ranking : All signals are treated identically. A marginal divergence in choppy conditions receives the same visual treatment as a high-conviction setup at a major exhaustion point.
Single-Sided Evaluation : They ask "Is this a good long?" without checking if the short case is overwhelmingly stronger, leading you into obvious bad trades.
Static Configuration : You manually choose RSI 14 or Stochastic 14 and hope it works, with no systematic way to validate if that's optimal for your instrument.
BZ-CAE's Solution: Cognitive Adversarial Intelligence
BZ-CAE solves these problems through an integrated five-layer intelligence architecture:
1. Trend Conviction Score (TCS) — 0 to 1 Scale
Most indicators check if ADX is above 25 to determine "trending" conditions. This binary approach misses nuance. TCS is a weighted composite metric:
Formula : 0.35 × normalize(ADX, 10, 35) + 0.35 × structural_strength + 0.30 × htf_alignment
Structural Strength : 10-bar SMA of consecutive directional bars. Captures persistence — are bulls or bears consistently winning?
HTF Alignment : Multi-timeframe EMA stacking (20/50/100/200). When all EMAs align in the same direction, you're in institutional trend territory.
Purpose : Quantifies how "locked in" the trend is. When TCS exceeds your threshold (default 0.80), the system knows to avoid counter-trend trades unless other factors override.
Interpretation :
TCS > 0.85: Very strong trend — counter-trading is extremely high risk
TCS 0.70-0.85: Strong trend — favor continuation, require exhaustion for reversals
TCS 0.50-0.70: Moderate trend — context matters, both directions viable
TCS < 0.50: Weak/choppy — reversals more viable, range-bound conditions
2. Directional Momentum Alignment (DMA) — ATR-Normalized
Formula : (EMA21 - EMA55) / ATR14
This isn't just "price above EMA" — it's a regime-aware momentum gauge. The same $100 price movement reads completely differently in high-volatility crypto versus low-volatility forex. By normalizing with ATR, DMA adapts its interpretation to current market conditions.
Purpose : Quantifies the directional "force" behind current price action. Positive = bullish push, negative = bearish push. Magnitude = strength.
Interpretation :
DMA > 0.7: Strong bullish momentum — bearish divergences risky
DMA 0.3 to 0.7: Moderate bullish bias
DMA -0.3 to 0.3: Balanced/choppy conditions
DMA -0.7 to -0.3: Moderate bearish bias
DMA < -0.7: Strong bearish momentum — bullish divergences risky
3. Multi-Factor Exhaustion Modeling — 0 to 1 Probability
Single-metric exhaustion detection (like "RSI > 80") misses complex market states. BZ-CAE aggregates five independent exhaustion signals:
Volume Spikes : Current volume versus 50-bar average
2.5x average: 0.25 weight
2.0x average: 0.15 weight
1.5x average: 0.10 weight
Divergence Present : The fact that a divergence exists contributes 0.30 weight — structural momentum disagreement is itself an exhaustion signal.
RSI Extremes : Captures oscillator climax zones
RSI > 80 or < 20: 0.25 weight
RSI > 75 or < 25: 0.15 weight
Pin Bar Detection : Identifies rejection candles (2:1 wick-to-body ratio, indicating failed breakout attempts): 0.15 weight
Extended Runs : Consecutive bars above/below EMA20 without pullback
30+ bars: 0.15 weight (market hasn't paused to consolidate)
Total exhaustion score is the sum of all applicable weights, capped at 1.0.
Purpose : Detects when strong trends become vulnerable to reversal. High exhaustion can override trend filters, allowing counter-trend trades at genuine turning points that basic indicators would miss.
Interpretation :
Exhaustion > 0.75: High probability of climax — yellow background shading alerts you visually
Exhaustion 0.50-0.75: Moderate overextension — watch for confirmation
Exhaustion < 0.50: Fresh move — trend can continue, counter-trend trades higher risk
4. Adversarial Validation — Game Theory Applied to Trading
This is BZ-CAE's signature innovation. Before approving any signal, the engine quantifies BOTH sides of the trade simultaneously:
For Bullish Divergences , it calculates:
Bull Case Score (0-1+) :
Distance below EMA20 (pullback quality): up to 0.25
Bullish EMA alignment (close > EMA20 > EMA50): 0.25
Oversold RSI (< 40): 0.25
Volume confirmation (> 1.2x average): 0.25
Bear Case Score (0-1+) :
Price below EMA50 (structural weakness): 0.30
Very oversold RSI (< 30, indicating knife-catching): 0.20
Differential = Bull Case - Bear Case
If differential < -0.10 (default threshold), the bear case is dominating — signal is BLOCKED or ANNOTATED.
For Bearish Divergences , the logic inverts (Bear Case vs Bull Case).
Purpose : Prevents trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction. This is institutional-grade risk management — don't just evaluate your trade, evaluate the counter-trade simultaneously.
Why This Matters : You might see a bullish divergence at a local low, but if price is deeply below major support EMAs with strong bearish momentum, you're catching a falling knife. The adversarial check catches this and blocks the signal.
5. Confidence Scoring — 0 to 1 Quality Assessment
Every signal that passes initial filters receives a comprehensive quality score:
Formula :
0.30 × normalize(TCS) // Trend context
+ 0.25 × normalize(|DMA|) // Momentum magnitude
+ 0.20 × pullback_quality // Entry distance from EMA20
+ 0.15 × state_quality // ADX + alignment + structure
+ 0.10 × divergence_strength // Slope separation magnitude
+ adversarial_bonus (0-0.30) // Your side's advantage
Purpose : Ranks setup quality for filtering and position sizing decisions. You can set a minimum confidence threshold (default 0.35) to ensure only quality setups reach your chart.
Interpretation :
Confidence > 0.70: Premium setup — consider increased position size
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Good quality — standard size
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Acceptable — reduced size or skip if conservative
Confidence < 0.35: Marginal — blocked in Filtering mode, annotated in Advisory mode
CAE Operating Modes: Learning vs Enforcement
Off : Disables all CAE logic. Raw divergence pipeline only. Use for baseline comparison.
Advisory : Shows ALL signals regardless of CAE evaluation, but annotates signals that WOULD be blocked with specific warnings (e.g., "Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" or "Adversarial bearish"). This is your learning mode — see CAE's decision logic in action without missing educational opportunities.
Filtering : Actively blocks low-quality signals. Only setups that pass all enabled gates (Trend Filter, Adversarial Validation, Confidence Gating) reach your chart. This is your live trading mode — trust the system to enforce discipline.
CAE Filter Gates: Three-Layer Protection
When CAE is enabled, signals must pass through three independent gates (each can be toggled on/off):
Gate 1: Strong Trend Filter
If TCS ≥ tcs_threshold (default 0.80)
And signal is counter-trend (bullish in downtrend or bearish in uptrend)
And exhaustion < exhaustion_required (default 0.50)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Don't fade strong trends unless the move is clearly overextended
Gate 2: Adversarial Validation
Calculate both bull case and bear case scores
If opposing case dominates by more than adv_threshold (default 0.10)
Then: BLOCK signal
Logic: Avoid trades where you're fighting obvious strength in the opposite direction
Gate 3: Confidence Gating
Calculate composite confidence score (0-1)
If confidence < min_confidence (default 0.35)
Then: In Filtering mode, BLOCK signal; in Advisory mode, ANNOTATE with warning
Logic: Only take setups with minimum quality threshold
All three gates work together. A signal must pass ALL enabled gates to fire.
Visual Intelligence System
Bifurcation Zones (Supply/Demand Blocks)
When a divergence signal fires, BZ-CAE draws a semi-transparent box extending 15 bars forward from the signal pivot:
Demand Zones (Bullish) : Theme-colored box (cyan in Cyberpunk, blue in Professional, etc.) labeled "Demand" — marks where smart money likely placed buy orders as price diverged at the low.
Supply Zones (Bearish) : Theme-colored box (magenta in Cyberpunk, orange in Professional) labeled "Supply" — marks where smart money likely placed sell orders as price diverged at the high.
Theory : Divergences represent institutional disagreement with the crowd. The crowd pushed price to an extreme (new high or low), but momentum (oscillator) is waning, indicating smart money is taking the opposite side. These zones mark order placement areas that become future support/resistance.
Use Cases :
Exit targets: Take profit when price returns to opposite-side zone
Re-entry levels: If price returns to your entry zone, consider adding
Stop placement: Place stops just beyond your zone (below demand, above supply)
Auto-Cleanup : System keeps the last 20 zones to prevent chart clutter.
Adversarial Bar Coloring — Real-Time Market Debate Heatmap
Each bar is colored based on the Bull Case vs Bear Case differential:
Strong Bull Advantage (diff > 0.3): Full theme bull color (e.g., cyan)
Moderate Bull Advantage (diff > 0.1): 50% transparency bull
Neutral (diff -0.1 to 0.1): Gray/neutral theme
Moderate Bear Advantage (diff < -0.1): 50% transparency bear
Strong Bear Advantage (diff < -0.3): Full theme bear color (e.g., magenta)
This creates a real-time visual heatmap showing which side is "winning" the market debate. When bars flip from cyan to magenta (or vice versa), you're witnessing a shift in adversarial advantage — a leading indicator of potential momentum changes.
Exhaustion Shading
When exhaustion score exceeds 0.75, the chart background displays a semi-transparent yellow highlight. This immediate visual warning alerts you that the current move is at high risk of reversal, even if trend indicators remain strong.
Visual Themes — Six Aesthetic Options
Cyberpunk : Cyan/Magenta/Yellow — High contrast, neon aesthetic, excellent for dark-themed trading environments
Professional : Blue/Orange/Green — Corporate color palette, suitable for presentations and professional documentation
Ocean : Teal/Red/Cyan — Aquatic palette, calming for extended monitoring sessions
Fire : Orange/Red/Coral — Warm aggressive colors, high energy
Matrix : Green/Red/Lime — Code aesthetic, homage to classic hacker visuals
Monochrome : White/Gray — Minimal distraction, maximum focus on price action
All visual elements (signal markers, zones, bar colors, dashboard) adapt to your selected theme.
Divergence Engine — Core Detection System
What Are Divergences?
Divergences occur when price action and momentum indicators disagree, creating structural tension that often resolves in a change of direction:
Regular Divergence (Reversal Signal) :
Bearish Regular : Price makes higher high, oscillator makes lower high → Potential trend reversal down
Bullish Regular : Price makes lower low, oscillator makes higher low → Potential trend reversal up
Hidden Divergence (Continuation Signal) :
Bearish Hidden : Price makes lower high, oscillator makes higher high → Downtrend continuation
Bullish Hidden : Price makes higher low, oscillator makes lower low → Uptrend continuation
Both types can be enabled/disabled independently in settings.
Pivot Detection Methods
BZ-CAE uses symmetric pivot detection with separate lookback and lookforward periods (default 5/5):
Pivot High : Bar where high > all highs within lookback range AND high > all highs within lookforward range
Pivot Low : Bar where low < all lows within lookback range AND low < all lows within lookforward range
This ensures structural validity — the pivot must be a clear local extreme, not just a minor wiggle.
Divergence Validation Requirements
For a divergence to be confirmed, it must satisfy:
Slope Disagreement : Price slope and oscillator slope must move in opposite directions (for regular divs) or same direction with inverted highs/lows (for hidden divs)
Minimum Slope Change : |osc_slope| > min_slope_change / 100 (default 1.0) — filters weak, marginal divergences
Maximum Lookback Range : Pivots must be within max_lookback bars (default 60) — prevents ancient, irrelevant divergences
ATR-Normalized Strength : Divergence strength = min(|price_slope| × |osc_slope| × 10, 1.0) — quantifies the magnitude of disagreement in volatility context
Regular divergences receive 1.0× weight; hidden divergences receive 0.8× weight (slightly less reliable historically).
Oscillator Options — Five Professional Indicators
RSI (Relative Strength Index) : Classic overbought/oversold momentum indicator. Best for: General purpose divergence detection across all instruments.
Stochastic : Range-bound %K momentum comparing close to high-low range. Best for: Mean reversion strategies and range-bound markets.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index) : Measures deviation from statistical mean, auto-normalized to 0-100 scale. Best for: Cyclical instruments and commodities.
MFI (Money Flow Index) : Volume-weighted RSI incorporating money flow. Best for: Volume-driven markets like stocks and crypto.
Williams %R : Inverse stochastic looking back over period, auto-adjusted to 0-100. Best for: Reversal detection at extremes.
Each oscillator has adjustable length (2-200, default 14) and smoothing (1-20, default 1). You also set overbought (50-100, default 70) and oversold (0-50, default 30) thresholds.
Signal Timing Modes — Understanding Repainting
BZ-CAE offers two timing policies with complete transparency about repainting behavior:
Realtime (1-bar, peak-anchored)
How It Works :
Detects peaks 1 bar ago using pattern: high > high AND high > high
Signal prints on the NEXT bar after peak detection (bar_index)
Visual marker anchors to the actual PEAK bar (bar_index - 1, offset -1)
Signal locks in when bar CONFIRMS (closes)
Repainting Behavior :
On the FORMING bar (before close), the peak condition may change as new prices arrive
Once bar CLOSES (barstate.isconfirmed), signal is locked permanently
This is preview/early warning behavior by design
Best For :
Active monitoring and immediate alerts
Learning the system (seeing signals develop in real-time)
Responsive entry if you're watching the chart live
Confirmed (lookforward)
How It Works :
Uses Pine Script's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions
Requires full pivot validation period (lookback + lookforward bars)
Signal prints pivot_lookforward bars after the actual peak (default 5-bar delay)
Visual marker anchors to the actual peak bar (offset -pivot_lookforward)
No Repainting Behavior
Best For :
Backtesting and historical analysis
Conservative entries requiring full confirmation
Automated trading systems
Swing trading with larger timeframes
Tradeoff :
Delayed entry by pivot_lookforward bars (typically 5 bars)
On a 5-minute chart, this is a 25-minute delay
On a 4-hour chart, this is a 20-hour delay
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting to verify system performance honestly. Use Realtime for live monitoring only if you're actively watching the chart and understand pre-confirmation repainting behavior.
Signal Spacing System — Anti-Spam Architecture
Even after CAE filtering, raw divergences can cluster. The spacing system enforces separation:
Three Independent Filters
1. Min Bars Between ANY Signals (default 12):
Prevents rapid-fire clustering across both directions
If last signal (bull or bear) was within N bars, block new signal
Ensures breathing room between all setups
2. Min Bars Between SAME-SIDE Signals (default 24, optional enforcement):
Prevents bull-bull or bear-bear spam
Separate tracking for bullish and bearish signal timelines
Toggle enforcement on/off
3. Min ATR Distance From Last Signal (default 0, optional):
Requires price to move N × ATR from last signal location
Ensures meaningful price movement between setups
0 = disabled, 0.5-2.0 = typical range for enabled
All three filters work independently. A signal must pass ALL enabled filters to proceed.
Practical Guidance :
Scalping (1-5m) : Any 6-10, Same-side 12-20, ATR 0-0.5
Day Trading (15m-1H) : Any 12, Same-side 24, ATR 0-1.0
Swing Trading (4H-D) : Any 20-30, Same-side 40-60, ATR 1.0-2.0

Last Signal Metrics Section (New Feature)
When a signal fires, this section captures and displays:
Signal type (BULL or BEAR)
Bars elapsed since signal
Confidence % at time of signal
TCS value at signal time
DMA value at signal time
Purpose : Provides a historical reference for learning. You can see what the market state looked like when the last signal fired, helping you correlate outcomes with conditions.
Statistics Section
Total Signals : Lifetime count across session
Blocked Signals : Count and percentage (filter effectiveness metric)
Bull Signals : Total bullish divergences
Bear Signals : Total bearish divergences
Purpose : System health monitoring. If blocked % is very high (>60%), filters may be too strict. If very low (<10%), filters may be too loose.
Advisory Annotations
When CAE Mode = Advisory, this section displays warnings for signals that would be blocked in Filtering mode:
Examples:
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars"
"Bear: strong uptrend (TCS=0.87)"
"Adversarial bearish"
"Low confidence 32%"
Multiple warnings can stack, separated by " | ". This teaches you CAE's decision logic transparently.
How to Use BZ-CAE — Complete Workflow
Phase 1: Initial Setup (First Session)
Apply BZ-CAE to your chart
Select your preferred Visual Theme (Cyberpunk recommended for visibility)
Set Signal Timing to "Confirmed (lookforward)" for learning
Choose your Oscillator Type (RSI recommended for general use, length 14)
Set Overbought/Oversold to 70/30 (standard)
Enable both Regular Divergence and Hidden Divergence
Set Pivot Lookback/Lookforward to 5/5 (balanced structure)
Enable CAE Intelligence
Set CAE Mode to "Advisory" (learning mode)
Enable all three CAE filters: Strong Trend Filter , Adversarial Validation , Confidence Gating
Enable Show Dashboard , position Top Right, size Normal
Enable Draw Bifurcation Zones and Adversarial Bar Coloring
Phase 2: Learning Period (Weeks 1-2)
Goal : Understand how CAE evaluates market state and filters signals.
Activities :
Watch the dashboard during signals :
Note TCS values when counter-trend signals fail — this teaches you the trend strength threshold for your instrument
Observe exhaustion patterns at actual turning points — learn when overextension truly matters
Study adversarial differential at signal times — see when opposing cases dominate
Review blocked signals (orange X-crosses):
In Advisory mode, you see everything — signals that would pass AND signals that would be blocked
Check the advisory annotations to understand why CAE would block
Track outcomes: Were the blocks correct? Did those signals fail?
Use Last Signal Metrics :
After each signal, check the dashboard capture of confidence, TCS, and DMA
Journal these values alongside trade outcomes
Identify patterns: Do confidence >0.70 signals work better? Does your instrument respect TCS >0.85?
Understand your instrument's "personality" :
Trending instruments (indices, major forex) may need TCS threshold 0.85-0.90
Choppy instruments (low-cap stocks, exotic pairs) may work best with TCS 0.70-0.75
High-volatility instruments (crypto) may need wider spacing
Low-volatility instruments may need tighter spacing
Phase 3: Calibration (Weeks 3-4)
Goal : Optimize settings for your specific instrument, timeframe, and style.
Calibration Checklist :
Min Confidence Threshold :
Review confidence distribution in your signal journal
Identify the confidence level below which signals consistently fail
Set min_confidence slightly above that level
Day trading : 0.35-0.45
Swing trading : 0.40-0.55
Scalping : 0.30-0.40
TCS Threshold :
Find the TCS level where counter-trend signals consistently get stopped out
Set tcs_threshold at or slightly below that level
Trending instruments : 0.85-0.90
Mixed instruments : 0.80-0.85
Choppy instruments : 0.75-0.80
Exhaustion Override Level :
Identify exhaustion readings that marked genuine reversals
Set exhaustion_required just below the average
Typical range : 0.45-0.55
Adversarial Threshold :
Default 0.10 works for most instruments
If you find CAE is too conservative (blocking good trades), raise to 0.15-0.20
If signals are still getting caught in opposing momentum, lower to 0.07-0.09
Spacing Parameters :
Count bars between quality signals in your journal
Set min bars ANY to ~60% of that average
Set min bars SAME-SIDE to ~120% of that average
Scalping : Any 6-10, Same 12-20
Day trading : Any 12, Same 24
Swing : Any 20-30, Same 40-60
Oscillator Selection :
Try different oscillators for 1-2 weeks each
Track win rate and average winner/loser by oscillator type
RSI : Best for general use, clear OB/OS
Stochastic : Best for range-bound, mean reversion
MFI : Best for volume-driven markets
CCI : Best for cyclical instruments
Williams %R : Best for reversal detection
Phase 4: Live Deployment
Goal : Disciplined execution with proven, calibrated system.
Settings Changes :
Switch CAE Mode from Advisory to Filtering
System now actively blocks low-quality signals
Only setups passing all gates reach your chart
Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed for conservative entries
OR switch to Realtime if you're actively monitoring and want faster entries (accept pre-confirmation repaint risk)
Use your calibrated thresholds from Phase 3
Enable high-confidence alerts: "⭐ High Confidence Bullish/Bearish" (>0.70)
Trading Discipline Rules :
Respect Blocked Signals :
If CAE blocks a trade you wanted to take, TRUST THE SYSTEM
Don't manually override — if you consistently disagree, return to Phase 2/3 calibration
The block exists because market state failed intelligence checks
Confidence-Based Position Sizing :
Confidence >0.70: Standard or increased size (e.g., 1.5-2.0% risk)
Confidence 0.50-0.70: Standard size (e.g., 1.0% risk)
Confidence 0.35-0.50: Reduced size (e.g., 0.5% risk) or skip if conservative
TCS-Based Management :
High TCS + counter-trend signal: Use tight stops, quick exits (you're fading momentum)
Low TCS + reversal signal: Use wider stops, trail aggressively (genuine reversal potential)
Exhaustion Awareness :
Exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading): Market is overextended, reversal risk is elevated — consider early exit or tighter trailing stops even on winning trades
Exhaustion <0.30: Continuation bias — hold for larger move, wide trailing stops
Adversarial Context :
Strong differential against you (e.g., bullish signal with bear diff <-0.2): Use very tight stops, consider skipping
Strong differential with you (e.g., bullish signal with bull diff >0.2): Trail aggressively, this is your tailwind
Practical Settings by Timeframe & Style
Scalping (1-5 Minute Charts)
Objective : High frequency, tight stops, quick reversals in fast-moving markets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or Stochastic (fast response to quick moves)
Length: 9-11 (more responsive than standard 14)

Min Slope Change: 0.8-1.0 (don't be overly strict)
CAE :
Mode: Advisory first (learn), then Filtering
Min Confidence: 0.30-0.35 (lower bar for speed, accept more signals)
TCS Threshold: 0.70-0.75 (allow more counter-trend opportunities)
Exhaustion Required: 0.45-0.50 (moderate override)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (still respect major intraday trends)
Adversarial: ON (critical for scalping protection — catches bad entries quickly)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 6-10 (fast pace, many setups)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 12-20 (prevent clustering)

Dashboard: Normal size (full visibility)
Key Consideration : This is the "sweet spot" timeframe for BZ-CAE. Market structure is clear, CAE has sufficient data, and signal frequency is manageable. Expect 55-65% win rate with proper execution.
Swing Trading (4-Hour to Daily Charts)
Objective : Quality over quantity. High conviction only. Larger stops and targets.
Oscillator :
Type: RSI or CCI (robust on higher timeframes, smooth longer waves)
Length: 14-21 (capture larger momentum swings)
Smoothing: 1-3
OB/OS: 70/30 or 75/25 (strict extremes)
Divergence :
Pivot Lookback/Lookforward: 5/5 or 7/7 (structural purity, major swings only)
Max Lookback: 80-100 bars (broader historical context)
Min Slope Change: 1.2-1.5 (require strong, undeniable divergence)
CAE :
Mode: Filtering (strict enforcement, premium setups only)
Min Confidence: 0.40-0.55 (high bar for entry)
TCS Threshold: 0.85-0.95 (very strong trend protection — don't fade established HTF trends)
Exhaustion Required: 0.50-0.60 (higher bar for override — only extreme exhaustion justifies counter-trend)
Strong Trend Filter: ON (critical on HTF)
Adversarial: ON (avoid obvious bad trades)
Confidence Gating: ON (quality gate essential)
Spacing :
Min Bars ANY: 20-30 (substantial separation)
Min Bars SAME-SIDE: 40-60 (significant breathing room)
Min ATR Distance: 1.0-2.0 (require meaningful price movement)
Timing : Confirmed (purity over speed, zero repaint for swing accuracy)
Visuals :
Signal Size: Small or Normal (clear markers on zoomed-out view)
Show Zones: ON (important HTF levels)
Bar Coloring: ON (long-term trend awareness)
Dashboard: Normal or Large (comprehensive analysis)
Key Consideration : Swing signals are rare but powerful. Expect 2-5 signals per month per instrument. Win rate should be 60-70%+ due to stringent filtering. Position size can be larger given confidence.
Dashboard Interpretation Reference
TCS (Trend Conviction Score) States
0.00-0.50: Weak/Choppy
Emoji: 〰️
Color: Green/cyan
Meaning: No established trend. Range-bound or consolidating. Both reversal and continuation signals viable.
Action: Reversals (regular divs) are safer. Use wider profit targets (market has room to move). Consider mean reversion strategies.
0.50-0.75: Moderate Trend
Emoji: 📊
Color: Yellow/neutral
Meaning: Developing trend but not locked in. Context matters significantly.
Action: Check DMA and exhaustion. If DMA confirms trend and exhaustion is low, favor continuation (hidden divs). If exhaustion is high, reversals are viable.
0.75-0.85: Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥
Color: Orange/warning
Meaning: Well-established trend with persistence. Counter-trend is high risk.
Action: Require exhaustion >0.50 for counter-trend entries. Favor continuation signals. Use tight stops on counter-trend attempts.
0.85-1.00: Very Strong Trend
Emoji: 🔥🔥
Color: Red/danger (if counter-trading)
Meaning: Locked-in institutional trend. Extremely high risk to fade.
Action: Avoid counter-trend unless exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading). Focus exclusively on continuation opportunities. Momentum is king here.
DMA (Directional Momentum Alignment) Zones
-2.0 to -1.0: Strong Bearish Momentum
Emoji: 🐻🐻
Color: Dark red
Meaning: Powerful downside force. Sellers are in control.
Action: Bullish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bearish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on longs.
-0.5 to 0.5: Neutral/Balanced
Emoji: ⚖️
Color: Gray/neutral
Meaning: No strong directional bias. Choppy or consolidating.
Action: Both directions have similar probability. Focus on confidence score and adversarial differential for edge.
1.0 to 2.0: Strong Bullish Momentum
Emoji: 🐂🐂
Color: Bright green/cyan
Meaning: Powerful upside force. Buyers are in control.
Action: Bearish divergences are counter-momentum (high risk). Bullish divergences are with-momentum (lower risk). Size down on shorts.
Exhaustion States
0.00-0.50: Fresh Move
Emoji: ✓
Color: Green
Meaning: Trend is healthy, not overextended. Room to run.
Action: Counter-trend trades are premature. Favor continuation. Hold winners for larger moves. Avoid early exits.
0.50-0.75: Mature Move
Emoji: 🟡
Color: Yellow
Meaning: Move is aging. Watch for signs of climax.
Action: Tighten trailing stops on winning trades. Be ready for reversals. Don't add to positions aggressively.
0.75-0.85: High Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️
Color: Orange
Background: Yellow shading appears
Meaning: Move is overextended. Reversal risk elevated significantly.
Action: Counter-trend reversals are higher probability. Consider early exits on with-trend positions. Size up on reversal divergences (if CAE allows).
0.85-1.00: Critical Exhaustion
Emoji: ⚠️⚠️
Color: Red
Background: Yellow shading intensifies
Meaning: Climax conditions. Reversal imminent or underway.
Action: Aggressive reversal trades justified. Exit all with-trend positions. This is where major turns occur.
Confidence Score Tiers
0.00-0.30: Low Quality
Color: Red
Status: Blocked in Filtering mode
Action: Skip entirely. Setup lacks fundamental quality across multiple factors.
0.30-0.50: Moderate Quality
Color: Yellow/orange
Status: Marginal — passes in Filtering only if >min_confidence
Action: Reduced position size (0.5-0.75% risk). Tight stops. Conservative profit targets. Skip if you're selective.
0.50-0.70: High Quality
Color: Green/cyan
Status: Good setup across most quality factors
Action: Standard position size (1.0-1.5% risk). Normal stops and targets. This is your bread-and-butter trade.
0.70-1.00: Premium Quality
Color: Bright green/gold
Status: Exceptional setup — all factors aligned
Visual: Double confidence ring appears
Action: Consider increased position size (1.5-2.0% risk, maximum). Wider stops. Larger targets. High probability of success. These are rare — capitalize when they appear.
Adversarial Differential Interpretation
Bull Differential > 0.3 :
Visual: Strong cyan/green bar colors
Meaning: Bull case strongly dominates. Buyers have clear advantage.
Action: Bullish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bearish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bullish.
Bull Differential 0.1 to 0.3 :
Visual: Moderate cyan/green transparency
Meaning: Moderate bull advantage. Buyers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward longs.
Differential -0.1 to 0.1 :
Visual: Gray/neutral bars
Meaning: Balanced debate. No clear advantage either side.
Action: Rely on other factors (confidence, TCS, exhaustion) for direction. Adversarial is neutral.
Bear Differential -0.3 to -0.1 :
Visual: Moderate red/magenta transparency
Meaning: Moderate bear advantage. Sellers have edge but not overwhelming.
Action: Both directions viable. Slight bias toward shorts.
Bear Differential < -0.3 :
Visual: Strong red/magenta bar colors
Meaning: Bear case strongly dominates. Sellers have clear advantage.
Action: Bearish divergences favored (with-advantage). Bullish divergences face headwind (reduce size or skip). Momentum is bearish.
Last Signal Metrics — Post-Trade Analysis
After a signal fires, dashboard captures:
Type : BULL or BEAR
Bars Ago : How long since signal (updates every bar)
Confidence : What was the quality score at signal time
TCS : What was trend conviction at signal time
DMA : What was momentum alignment at signal time
Use Case : Post-trade journaling and learning.
Example: "BULL signal 12 bars ago. Confidence: 68%, TCS: 0.42, DMA: -0.85"
Analysis : This was a bullish reversal (regular div) with good confidence, weak trend (TCS), but strong bearish momentum (DMA). The bet was that momentum would reverse — a counter-momentum play requiring exhaustion confirmation. Check if exhaustion was high at that time to justify the entry.
Track patterns:
Do your best trades have confidence >0.65?
Do low-TCS signals (<0.50) work better for you?
Are you more successful with-momentum (DMA aligned with signal) or counter-momentum?
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: No Signals Appearing
Symptoms : Chart loads, dashboard shows metrics, but no divergence signals fire.
Diagnosis Checklist :
Check dashboard oscillator value : Is it crossing OB/OS levels (70/30)? If oscillator stays in 40-60 range constantly, it can't reach extremes needed for divergence detection.
Are pivots forming? : Look for local swing highs/lows on your chart. If price is in tight consolidation, pivots may not meet lookback/lookforward requirements.
Is spacing too tight? : Check "Last Signal" metrics — how many bars since last signal? If <12 and your min_bars_ANY is 12, spacing filter is blocking.
Is CAE blocking everything? : Check dashboard Statistics section — what's the blocked signal count? High blocks indicate overly strict filters.
Solutions :
Loosen OB/OS Temporarily :
Try 65/35 to verify divergence detection works
If signals appear, the issue was threshold strictness
Gradually tighten back to 67/33, then 70/30 as appropriate
Lower Min Confidence :
Try 0.25-0.30 (diagnostic level)
If signals appear, filter was too strict
Raise gradually to find sweet spot (0.35-0.45 typical)
Disable Strong Trend Filter Temporarily :
Turn off in CAE settings
If signals appear, TCS threshold was blocking everything
Re-enable and lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75
Reduce Min Slope Change :
Try 0.7-0.8 (from default 1.0)
Allows weaker divergences through
Helpful on low-volatility instruments
Widen Spacing :
Set min_bars_ANY to 6-8
Set min_bars_SAME_SIDE to 12-16
Reduces time between allowed signals
Check Timing Mode :
If using Confirmed, remember there's a pivot_lookforward delay (5+ bars)
Switch to Realtime temporarily to verify system is working
Realtime has no delay but repaints
Verify Oscillator Settings :
Length 14 is standard but might not fit all instruments
Try length 9-11 for faster response
Try length 18-21 for slower, smoother response
Problem: Too Many Signals (Signal Spam)
Symptoms : Dashboard shows 50+ signals in Statistics, confidence scores mostly <0.40, signals clustering close together.
Solutions :
Raise Min Confidence :
Try 0.40-0.50 (quality filter)
Blocks bottom-tier setups
Targets top 50-60% of divergences only
Tighten OB/OS :
Use 70/30 or 75/25
Requires more extreme oscillator readings
Reduces false divergences in mid-range
Increase Min Slope Change :
Try 1.2-1.5 (from default 1.0)
Requires stronger, more obvious divergences
Filters marginal slope disagreements
Raise TCS Threshold :
Try 0.85-0.90 (from default 0.80)
Stricter trend filter blocks more counter-trend attempts
Favors only strongest trend alignment
Enable ALL CAE Gates :
Turn on Trend Filter + Adversarial + Confidence
Triple-layer protection
Blocks aggressively — expect 20-40% reduction in signals
Widen Spacing :
min_bars_ANY: 15-20 (from 12)
min_bars_SAME_SIDE: 30-40 (from 24)
Creates substantial breathing room
Switch to Confirmed Timing :
Removes realtime preview noise
Ensures full pivot validation
5-bar delay filters many false starts
Problem: Signals in Strong Trends Get Stopped Out
Symptoms : You take a bullish divergence in a downtrend (or bearish in uptrend), and it immediately fails. Dashboard showed high TCS at the time.
Analysis : This is INTENDED behavior — CAE is protecting you from low-probability counter-trend trades.
Understanding :
Check Last Signal Metrics in dashboard — what was TCS when signal fired?
If TCS was >0.85 and signal was counter-trend, CAE correctly identified it as high risk
Strong trends rarely reverse cleanly without major exhaustion
Your losses here are the system working as designed (blocking bad odds)
If You Want to Override (Not Recommended) :
Lower TCS_threshold to 0.70-0.75 (allows more counter-trend)
Lower exhaustion_required to 0.40 (easier override)
Disable Strong Trend Filter entirely (very risky)
Better Approach :
TRUST THE FILTER — it's preventing costly mistakes
Wait for exhaustion >0.75 (yellow shading) before counter-trending strong TCS
Focus on continuation signals (hidden divs) in high-TCS environments
Use Advisory mode to see what CAE is blocking and learn from outcomes
Problem: Adversarial Blocking Seems Wrong
Symptoms : You see a divergence that "looks good" visually, but CAE blocks with "Adversarial bearish/bullish" warning.
Diagnosis :
Check dashboard Bull Case and Bear Case scores at that moment
Look at Differential value
Check adversarial bar colors — was there strong coloring against your intended direction?
Understanding :
Adversarial catches "obvious" opposing momentum that's easy to miss
Example: Bullish divergence at a local low, BUT price is deeply below EMA50, bearish momentum is strong, and RSI shows knife-catching conditions
Bull Case might be 0.20 while Bear Case is 0.55
Differential = -0.35, far beyond threshold
Block is CORRECT — you'd be fighting overwhelming opposing flow
If You Disagree Consistently
Review blocked signals on chart — scroll back and check outcomes
Did those blocked signals actually work, or did they fail as adversarial predicted?
Raise adv_threshold to 0.15-0.20 (more permissive, allows closer battles)
Disable Adversarial Validation temporarily (diagnostic) to isolate its effect
Use Advisory mode to learn adversarial patterns over 50-100 signals
Remember : Adversarial is conservative BY DESIGN. It prevents "obvious" bad trades where you're fighting strong strength the other way.
Problem: Dashboard Not Showing or Incomplete
Solutions :
Toggle "Show Dashboard" to ON in settings
Try different dashboard sizes (Small/Normal/Large)
Try different positions (Top Left/Right, Bottom Left/Right) — might be off-screen
Some sections require CAE Enable = ON (Cognitive Engine section won't appear if CAE is disabled)
Statistics section requires at least 1 lifetime signal to populate
Check that visual theme is set (dashboard colors adapt to theme)
Problem: Performance Lag, Chart Freezing
Symptoms : Chart loading is slow, indicator calculations cause delays, pinch-to-zoom lags.
Diagnosis : Visual features are computationally expensive, especially adversarial bar coloring (recalculates every bar).
Solutions (In Order of Impact) :
Disable Adversarial Bar Coloring (MOST EXPENSIVE):
Turn OFF "Adversarial Bar Coloring" in settings
This is the single biggest performance drain
Immediate improvement
Reduce Vertical Lines :
Lower "Keep last N vertical lines" to 20-30
Or set to 0 to disable entirely
Moderate improvement
Disable Bifurcation Zones :
Turn OFF "Draw Bifurcation Zones"
Reduces box drawing calculations
Moderate improvement
Set Dashboard Size to Small :
Smaller dashboard = fewer cells = less rendering
Minor improvement
Use Shorter Max Lookback :
Reduce max_lookback to 40-50 (from 60+)
Fewer bars to scan for divergences
Minor improvement
Disable Exhaustion Shading :
Turn OFF "Show Market State"
Removes background coloring calculations
Minor improvement
Extreme Performance Mode :
Disable ALL visual enhancements
Keep only triangle markers
Dashboard Small or OFF
Use Minimal theme if available
Problem: Realtime Signals Repainting
Symptoms : You see a signal appear, but on next bar it disappears or moves.
Explanation :
Realtime mode detects peaks 1 bar ago: high > high AND high > high
On the FORMING bar (before close), this condition can change as new prices arrive
Example: At 10:05, high (10:04 bar) was 100, current high is 99 → peak detected
At 10:05:30, new high of 101 arrives → peak condition breaks → signal disappears
At 10:06 (bar close), final high is 101 → no peak at 10:04 anymore → signal gone permanently
This is expected behavior for realtime responsiveness. You get preview/early warning, but it's not locked until bar confirms.
Solutions :
Use Confirmed Timing :
Switch to "Confirmed (lookforward)" mode
ZERO repainting — pivot must be fully validated
5-bar delay (pivot_lookforward)
What you see in history is exactly what would have appeared live
Accept Realtime Repaint as Tradeoff :
Keep Realtime mode for speed and alerts
Understand that pre-confirmation signals may vanish
Only trade signals that CONFIRM at bar close (check barstate.isconfirmed)
Use for live monitoring, NOT for backtesting
Trade Only After Confirmation :
In Realtime mode, wait 1 full bar after signal appears before entering
If signal survives that bar close, it's locked
This adds 1-bar delay but removes repaint risk
Recommendation : Use Confirmed for backtesting and conservative trading. Use Realtime only for active monitoring with full understanding of preview behavior.
Risk Management Integration
BZ-CAE is a signal generation system, not a complete trading strategy. You must integrate proper risk management:
Position Sizing by Confidence
Confidence 0.70-1.00 (Premium) :
Risk: 1.5-2.0% of account (MAXIMUM)
Reasoning: High-quality setup across all factors
Still cap at 2% — even premium setups can fail
Confidence 0.50-0.70 (High Quality) :
Risk: 1.0-1.5% of account
Reasoning: Standard good setup
Your bread-and-butter risk level
Confidence 0.35-0.50 (Moderate Quality) :
Risk: 0.5-1.0% of account
Reasoning: Marginal setup, passes minimum threshold
Reduce size or skip if you're selective
Confidence <0.35 (Low Quality) :
Risk: 0% (blocked in Filtering mode)
Reasoning: Insufficient quality factors
System protects you by not showing these
Stop Placement Strategies
For Reversal Signals (Regular Divergences) :
Place stop beyond the divergence pivot plus buffer
Bullish : Stop below the divergence low - 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Bearish : Stop above the divergence high + 1.0-1.5 × ATR
Reasoning: If price breaks the pivot, divergence structure is invalidated
For Continuation Signals (Hidden Divergences) :
Place stop beyond recent swing in opposite direction
Bullish continuation : Stop below recent swing low (not the divergence pivot itself)
Bearish continuation : Stop above recent swing high
Reasoning: You're trading with trend, allow more breathing room
ATR-Based Stops :
1.5-2.0 × ATR is standard
Scale by timeframe:
Scalping (1-5m): 1.0-1.5 × ATR (tight)
Day trading (15m-1H): 1.5-2.0 × ATR (balanced)
Swing (4H-D): 2.0-3.0 × ATR (wide)
Never Use Fixed Dollar/Pip Stops :
Markets have different volatility
50-pip stop on EUR/USD ≠ 50-pip stop on GBP/JPY
Always normalize by ATR or pivot structure
Profit Targets and Scaling
Primary Target :
2-3 × ATR from entry (minimum 2:1 reward-risk)
Example : Entry at 100, ATR = 2, stop at 97 (1.5 × ATR) → target at 106 (3 × ATR) = 2:1 R:R
Scaling Out Strategy :
Take 50% off at 1.5 × ATR (secure partial profit)
Move stop to breakeven
Trail remaining 50% with 1.0 × ATR trailing stop
Let winners run if trend persists
Targets by Confidence :
High Confidence (>0.70) : Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR), trail wider (1.5 × ATR)
Standard Confidence (0.50-0.70) : Normal targets (2-3 × ATR), standard trail (1.0 × ATR)
Low Confidence (0.35-0.50) : Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR), tight trail (0.75 × ATR)
Use Bifurcation Zones :
If opposite-side zone is visible on chart (from previous signal), use it as target
Example : Bullish signal at 100, prior supply zone at 110 → use 110 as target
Zones mark institutional resistance/support
Exhaustion-Based Exits :
If you're in a trade and exhaustion >0.75 develops (yellow shading), consider early exit
Market is overextended — reversal risk is high
Take profit even if target not reached
Trade Management by TCS
High TCS + Counter-Trend Trade (Risky) :
Use very tight stops (1.0-1.5 × ATR)
Conservative targets (1.5-2 × ATR)
Quick exit if trade doesn't work immediately
You're fading momentum — respect it
Low TCS + Reversal Trade (Safer) :
Use wider stops (2.0-2.5 × ATR)
Aggressive targets (3-4 × ATR)
Trail with patience
Genuine reversal potential in weak trend
High TCS + Continuation Trade (Safest) :
Standard stops (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
Very aggressive targets (4-5 × ATR)
Trail wide (1.5-2.0 × ATR)
You're with institutional momentum — let it run
Educational Value — Learning Machine Intelligence
BZ-CAE is designed as a learning platform, not just a tool:
Advisory Mode as Teacher
Most indicators are binary: signal or no signal. You don't learn WHY certain setups are better.
BZ-CAE's Advisory mode shows you EVERY potential divergence, then annotates the ones that would be blocked in Filtering mode with specific reasons:
"Bull: strong downtrend (TCS=0.87)" teaches you that TCS >0.85 makes counter-trend very risky
"Adversarial bearish" teaches you that the opposing case was dominating
"Low confidence 32%" teaches you that the setup lacked quality across multiple factors
"Bull spacing: wait 8 bars" teaches you that signals need breathing room
After 50-100 signals in Advisory mode, you internalize the CAE's decision logic. You start seeing these factors yourself BEFORE the indicator does.
Dashboard Transparency
Most "intelligent" indicators are black boxes — you don't know how they make decisions.
BZ-CAE shows you ALL metrics in real-time:
TCS tells you trend strength
DMA tells you momentum alignment
Exhaustion tells you overextension
Adversarial shows both sides of the debate
Confidence shows composite quality
You learn to interpret market state holistically, a skill applicable to ANY trading system beyond this indicator.
Divergence Quality Education
Not all divergences are equal. BZ-CAE teaches you which conditions produce high-probability setups:
Quality divergence : Regular bullish div at a low, TCS <0.50 (weak trend), exhaustion >0.75 (overextended), positive adversarial differential, confidence >0.70
Low-quality divergence : Regular bearish div at a high, TCS >0.85 (strong uptrend), exhaustion <0.30 (not overextended), negative adversarial differential, confidence <0.40
After using the system, you can evaluate divergences manually with similar intelligence.
Risk Management Discipline
Confidence-based position sizing teaches you to adjust risk based on setup quality, not emotions:
Beginners often size all trades identically
Or worse, size UP on marginal setups to "make up" for losses
BZ-CAE forces systematic sizing: premium setups get larger size, marginal setups get smaller size
This creates a probabilistic approach where your edge compounds over time.
What This Indicator Is NOT
Complete transparency about limitations and positioning:
Not a Prediction System
BZ-CAE does not predict future prices. It identifies structural divergences (price-momentum disagreements) and assesses current market state (trend, exhaustion, adversarial conditions). It tells you WHEN conditions favor a potential reversal or continuation, not WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Markets are probabilistic. Even premium-confidence setups fail ~30-40% of the time. The system improves your probability distribution over many trades — it doesn't eliminate risk.
Not Fully Automated
This is a decision support tool, not a trading robot. You must:
Execute trades manually based on signals
Manage positions (stops, targets, trailing)
Apply discretionary judgment (news events, liquidity, context)
Integrate with your broader strategy and risk rules
The confidence scores guide position sizing, but YOU determine final risk allocation based on your account size, risk tolerance, and portfolio context.
Not Beginner-Friendly
BZ-CAE requires understanding of:
Divergence trading concepts (regular vs hidden, reversal vs continuation)
Market state interpretation (trend vs range, momentum, exhaustion)
Basic technical analysis (pivots, support/resistance, EMAs)
Risk management fundamentals (position sizing, stops, R:R)
This is designed for intermediate to advanced traders willing to invest time learning the system. If you want "buy the arrow" simplicity, this isn't the tool.
Not a Holy Grail
There is no perfect indicator. BZ-CAE filters noise and improves signal quality significantly, but:
Losing trades are inevitable (even at 70% win rate, 30% still fail)
Market conditions change rapidly (yesterday's strong trend becomes today's chop)
Black swan events occur (fundamentals override technicals)
Execution matters (slippage, fees, emotional discipline)
The system provides an EDGE, not a guarantee. Your job is to execute that edge consistently with proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool. All trading decisions are your responsibility. Past performance (backtested or live) does not guarantee future results. Only risk capital you can afford to lose. Consult a licensed financial advisor for investment advice specific to your situation.
Ideal Market Conditions
Best Performance Characteristics
Liquid Instruments :
Major forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY)
Large-cap stocks and index ETFs (SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT)
High-volume crypto (BTC, ETH)
Major commodities (Gold, Oil, Natural Gas)
Reasoning: Clean price structure, clear pivots, meaningful oscillator behavior
Trending with Consolidations :
Markets that trend for 20-40 bars, then consolidate 10-20 bars, repeat
Creates divergences at consolidation boundaries (reversals) and within trends (continuations)
Both regular and hidden divs find opportunities
5-Minute to Daily Timeframes :
Below 5m: too much noise, false pivots, CAE metrics unstable
Above daily: too few signals, edge diminishes (fundamentals dominate)
Sweet spot: 15m to 4H for most traders
Consistent Volume and Participation :
Regular trading sessions (not holidays or thin markets)
Predictable volatility patterns
Avoid instruments with sudden gaps or circuit breakers
Challenging Conditions
Extremely Low Liquidity :
Penny stocks, exotic forex pairs, low-volume crypto
Erratic pivots, unreliable oscillator readings
CAE metrics can't assess market state properly
Very Low Timeframes (1-Minute or Below) :
Dominated by market microstructure noise
Divergences are everywhere but meaningless
CAE filtering helps but still unreliable
Extended Sideways Consolidation :
100+ bars of tight range with no clear pivots
Oscillator hugs midpoint (45-55 range)
No divergences to detect
Fundamentally-Driven Gap Markets :
Earnings releases, economic data, geopolitical events
Price gaps over stops and targets
Technical structure breaks down
Recommendation: Disable trading around known events
Calculation Methodology — Technical Depth
For users who want to understand the math:
Oscillator Computation
Each oscillator type calculates differently, but all normalize to 0-100:
RSI : ta.rsi(close, length) — Standard Relative Strength Index
Stochastic : ta.stoch(high, low, close, length) — %K calculation
CCI : (ta.cci(hlc3, length) + 100) / 2 — Normalized from -100/+100 to 0-100
MFI : ta.mfi(hlc3, length) — Volume-weighted RSI equivalent
Williams %R : ta.wpr(length) + 100 — Inverted stochastic adjusted to 0-100
Smoothing: If smoothing > 1, apply ta.sma(oscillator, smoothing)
Divergence Detection Algorithm
Identify Pivots :
Price high pivot: ta.pivothigh(high, lookback, lookforward)
Price low pivot: ta.pivotlow(low, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator high pivot: ta.pivothigh(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Oscillator low pivot: ta.pivotlow(osc, lookback, lookforward)
Store Recent Pivots :
Maintain arrays of last 10 pivots with bar indices
When new pivot confirmed, unshift to array, pop oldest if >10
Scan for Slope Disagreements :
Loop through last 5 pivots
For each pair (current pivot, historical pivot):
Check if within max_lookback bars
Calculate slopes: (current - historical) / bars_between
Regular bearish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Regular bullish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold
Hidden bearish: price_slope < 0, osc_slope > 0, osc_slope > min_threshold
Hidden bullish: price_slope > 0, osc_slope < 0, |osc_slope| > min_threshold

Performance Disclosure
Past performance, whether backtested or live-traded, does not guarantee future results. Markets change. What works today may not work tomorrow. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading.
Risk of Loss
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with risk capital you can afford to lose entirely. The high degree of leverage often available in trading can work against you as well as for you. Leveraged trading may result in losses exceeding your initial deposit.
Not Financial Advice
BZ-CAE is an educational and analytical tool for technical analysis. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument. All trading decisions are your sole responsibility. Consult a licensed financial advisor for advice specific to your circumstances.
Technical Indicator Limitations
BZ-CAE is a technical analysis tool based on price and volume data. It does not account for:
Fundamental analysis (earnings, economic data, financial health)
Market sentiment and positioning
Geopolitical events and news
Liquidity conditions and market microstructure changes
Regulatory changes or exchange rules

Final Word — Philosophy of BZ-CAE
BZ-CAE is not designed to replace your judgment — it's designed to enhance it.
The indicator identifies structural inflection points (bifurcations) where price and momentum disagree. The Cognitive Engine evaluates market state to determine if this disagreement is meaningful or noise. The Adversarial model debates both sides of the trade to catch obvious bad setups. The Confidence system ranks quality so you can choose your risk appetite.
But YOU still execute. YOU still manage risk. YOU still learn from outcomes.
This is intelligence amplification, not intelligence replacement.
Use Advisory mode to learn how expert traders evaluate market state. Use Filtering mode to enforce discipline when emotions run high. Use the dashboard to develop a systematic approach to reading markets. Use confidence scores to size positions probabilistically.
The system provides an edge. Your job is to execute that edge with discipline, patience, and proper risk management over hundreds of trades.
Markets are probabilistic. No system wins every trade. But a systematic edge + disciplined execution + proper risk management compounds over time. That's the path to consistent profitability. BZ-CAE gives you the edge. The discipline and risk management are on you.

# **Squeeze Momentum Pro – Enhanced Screener + EMA Cross Alerts**
This custom version of the Squeeze Momentum indicator expands the standard TTM-style squeeze with screening and automated alert logic so you can quickly find high-quality setups across many tickers.
---
## **What This Script Does**
This indicator plots a three-level squeeze visual similar to TTM Squeeze:
Dot meanings in this indicator
Orange dot:
Strongest squeeze – Bollinger Bands are inside the tightest Keltner level (highest volatility compression).
Red dot:
Medium squeeze – still compressed, but not as tight as orange.
Black dot:
Weak squeeze / lowest level of volatility compression.
Price is coiling, but not as tight as the higher levels.
Green dot (“Fired”):
Squeeze has released — Bollinger Bands have expanded out of the channels and momentum is moving.
A momentum histogram is plotted to show directional pressure during the squeeze.
---
## **Major Improvements Added**
### **① Screenable Conditions for Stock Scanners**
This version includes multiple `alertcondition()` flags so the script can be used as a **Pine Screener inside TradingView**.
Currently it can screen for:
✔ Price closing above the 50-SMA
✔ Presence of an **orange (strong) squeeze dot**
✔ 6/20 EMA crossover signals inside a squeeze
These can be used inside the TradingView Screener or in watchlists to automatically highlight qualifying tickers.
---
### **② 6/20 EMA Trend Signals (Filtered by Squeeze)**
A crossover system was added:
* **Bullish Signal:** 6 EMA crosses above 20 EMA
* **Bearish Signal:** 6 EMA crosses below 20 EMA
But **these signals only trigger if the market is in a red or orange squeeze**, which helps remove noise and focus on valid setups.
---
### **③ Visual Markers Under the Histogram**
Whenever an EMA crossover occurs during a squeeze:
* A **green up-triangle** is plotted for a bullish cross
* A **red down-triangle** for a bearish cross
These markers are drawn **below the histogram**, keeping the display clean while still providing quick visual cues.
---
### **④ Fully Non-Repainting Logic**
All signals and squeeze calculations are based on standard fully-resolved `ta.*` functions, making the results stable both in backtesting and real-time.
---
## **Who This Script Helps**
This version is ideal for:
* Traders who use TradingView’s screener and want automated breakout/continuation filtering
* Traders who scan large watchlists for squeeze setups
* Users who want trend confirmation during volatility compression
---
## **How to Use It**
1. Add the script to your chart
2. Open TradingView Alerts or Screener
3. Select the conditions you want, for example:
* *“Orange Squeeze Detected”*
* *“Squeeze Fire after 3 squeeze dots*
* *“4 REd Dots in a row.”*
* *“Buy Alert”*
* *“EMA 6/20 Bullish Crossover (Squeeze Only)”*
* *“Close Above 50 SMA”*
Once active, TradingView will automatically flag symbols that meet the criteria.
---
## **Summary**
This enhanced Squeeze Momentum indicator turns the standard TTM-style visual into a **true screening and alert system** by adding:
* Multi-level squeezes
* EMA trend signals
* Screener-compatible alert conditions
* Clean visual signals
* Non-repainting logic
It helps traders quickly locate high-probability setups across any watchlist or market.

Weighted RSI DivergenceWeighted RSI Divergence
A powerful divergence engine that grades every RSI divergence by strength, context, and confluence — helping you filter noise and focus only on the highest-probability reversal setups.
This script combines RSI divergences with five confirmation layers to produce confidence-weighted signals, clearer trade decisions, and alert-ready setups for both bullish and bearish reversals.
What This Indicator Detects
Bullish Divergence → Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low
Bearish Divergence → Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high
Confirmation Factors (Each Adds +1 to the Score)
Volume Spike: Above-average volume on the divergence bar
Trend Alignment: Divergence occurs in harmony with higher-timeframe trend dynamics
Key Level Proximity: Price tests significant support or resistance
Momentum Extremes: RSI reaches oversold/overbought thresholds
Candle Reversal Pattern: Engulfing, pin bar, or similar reversal structure
Confidence Scoring
1–2 → Low Confidence (gray)
3 → Medium Confidence (yellow)
4–5 → High Confidence (green/red)
Higher scores = higher-probability setups.
Visual Components
RSI plot with dynamic gradient coloring
Divergence lines mapped to RSI pivots
Signal labels showing confidence + factors
Background highlighting for high-confidence events
Real-time confidence meter for active bar conditions
Optional data table for factor-by-factor breakdown
Alerts Included
High-confidence bullish & bearish divergences
Medium-confidence signals
Any divergence meeting your minimum threshold
Best Practices
Prioritize setups with 4 or 5 confirmations
Use higher timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W) for more reliable signals
Combine with market structure and price action (S/R, HTF trend, liquidity zones)
Counter-trend divergences require stronger scores to validate
Final Notes
This script focuses on clarity, risk reduction, and selective trade timing. The confidence system helps distinguish weak divergences from high-probability reversal conditions — giving traders a structured, repeatable edge.
