London Breakout with MDX Trailing StopThis indicator aims to aid in using the regular London Breakout strategy, as well as improve on it by adding a trailing stop based on the Mean Deviation Index.
The London Breakout strategy (according to my personal understanding) basically sees the morning before London open as the accumulation or distribution range for large buyers or sellers, and assumes the market will break either above that mornings high or below that mornings low when they start to move price. It is mostly used to trade stock indices and forex.
This indicator plots the morning high and low for each day. The green line is the morning high, and the red line is the morning low. If price moves above the green line (the morning high) it fills that area with a green color. If price moves below the green line (the morning low) it fills that area with a red color. This makes the breakouts easy to spot.
The background color of the chart turns green when the MDX is above 0 (price is more than X times ATR above the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The background color of the chart turns red when the MDX is below 0 (price is more than X times ATR below the mean) and a breakout above the morning high has occurred, and stays green until the opposite happens.
The default for X above is 1.0, but this can be changed in the settings by changing "ATR Multiplier".
The background is always neutral during the morning session since the morning high and morning low are not established yet.
A trailing stop is shown when price is more than X times away from the mean and a breakout has occured. The distance is set using the MDX. The trailing stop uses a separate ATR multiplier though, to make the signal and trailing stop MDX values different, if one likes. The default ATR multiplier for the trailing stop is 1.25, but this can be changed is the settings by changing "ATR multiplier for trailing stop".
When the high or low of a candle breaks the trailing stop, it is moved further away, indicating you have been stopped out, but gives opportunity to use it if you enter again (so it doesn't just disappear).
As an added bonus, take profit levels have been added based on the mornnig range. The take profit distance is set by multiplying the range with a factor. The levels are then plotted that distance from the morning high and morning low.

Mean Deviation IndexThe Mean Deviation Index (MDX) is used to see how much price is deviating from the mean. This indicator takes both volatility and mean deviation in consideration.
It uses the standard deviation of the ATR to filter an EMA, and uses this as the mean. It then only plots > or < 0 if price is more than one x ATR away from the mean. If index is positive, the background turns green, meaning price is more than 1 x ATR above the mean. If the index is negative, the background turns red, meaning price is more than 1 x ATR below the mean. This setting can be changed by changing the setting "ATR Multiplier", but the default is 1 x ATR.
There are two main ways to use this index.
1. Use it aggressively to find trends (by combining it with other indicators) by entereding each time the background changes color to green for longs or red for shorts.
2. Use it spot breakouts, waiting for a pullback, and then entering on the next move in the same direction. In this context for a short, you wait for the background color to turn green, then wait for the index to pull back, and then enter once it starts moving up again.

Forecasting - Simple Mean MethodThis is a continuation of my series on forecasting techniques. The idea behind the Simple Mean method is to somehow extend historical mean to the future. In this case a forecast equals to last value plus average change.
Mean Reversion IndicatorThis is a mean reversion indicator that anticipates a local trend reversion. Basically, it is a channel with the mid-line serving as a moving mean baseline. Each of the two curves run up and down within this channel bouncing off from the top and bottom bounds. Touching the bounds serves as an indication of a local trend reversal. The reversal signal is stronger when there exists a resonance (symmetry) in the two curves. The background histogram shows a Karobein oscillator that contributes support or resistance for the signal.
Seasonality-Buschi
English:
This script shows the price development over the last year (default: green) and mean prices over the last three (default: light green), six (default: orange) and nine (default: red) years and is therefore at least some kind of approach towards true seasonality.
Thanks to user "apozdnyakov" for providing most of the code!
Deutsch:
Dieses Skript zeigt den Kursverlauf über das letzte Jahr (Standard: grün) und die durchschnittlichen Verläufe über die letzten drei (Standard: hellgrün), sechs (Standard: orange) und neun (Standard: rot) Jahre und stellt damit zumindest eine Annäherung zu einer echten Saisonalität dar.

[RESEARCH] Mean Absolute DeviationHello traders and developers!
I was wondering how built-in "dev" function in Pine is calculated so I made a little research.
I examined 7 samples:
0) "dev" function itself
1) "dev" according to its description: series - sma(series)
2) Mean Absolute Deviation
3) ratio of the absolute difference from 1) divided by period
4) ratio of the difference from 1) divided by period
5) Median Absolute Deviation
6) tricky for-loop to calculate Mean Absolute Deviation
The results of the null and sixth samples are identical.
So, TV built-in "dev" function represents Mean Absolute Deviation and it's description is incorrect.
Where it is used? For example: Commodity Channel Index. You can check its original formula and if you used simple standard deviation instead of MAD in your CCIs - well guys, you were wrong.
Good luck!

[PW] Volume Standard DeviationHere is a nice little script that highlights areas of volume using standard deviation, you can choose the look back periods.
This script is based on the excellent script by: @SteynTrade -
I have simplified it a bit and made it readable to my taste using alpha to highlight high volume areas.
Enjoy.
B3 20/50 MeanSimple MA's 20 and 50 are averaged to produce a mean MA line. I like the smoothness of it, and it can help you stay in a trade in the slow moving trends. Also if you start to see a large cloud in your favor, it could be a great time take the profits.
B3 ALMA PendulumB3 Pendulums, quick little indicators that do change print inside the current bar, so beware. It is good for anticipation, but it is important to make sure the current and next bars follow through.
Ever wanted an indicator that really points out the micro term action in the form of a pendulum swing? This my attempt to show the market ups and downs in the smallest amount of lag possible. This indicator is designed to bounce back and forth from 100 to -100 as it shows you the price's relationship to ALMA. Really its just a simple deviance from mean study made to amplify the quick ups and downs, and kind of the neatest on Heikin Ashi setups. It looks like Arabic language at first glance, lol.
This should be easy to template out to your own MA's. ~I hope you are enjoying the B3 scripts, that is now 9 open source shares and a couple protected ones. I still plan on a few more give-a-ways, as I prepare some of the algorithmic things I do for subscription. Feel free to comment about things you would like to see! ~B3
B3 Fibonacci Pivot S/RFor my second share, I give you some levels I look at everyday for the ES minis. HLC/3 of the MTF (multi-time-frame) inputs = mean and Fib-levels formed as support and resistance zones. There are some websites that will show you 20 ways to figure out a pivot for the day's intraday workings, and this one always rang true for me. I keep it set at Res=D and Len=3or5 and use on hourly charts. This indicator is capable of doing like a Res=60m Len=8 for a 5m chart or something of that nature if you wish to test it out.
I haven't tested it out for tick charts and I have noticed that this is good on index and commodity futures, and not so much other things.
Uncanny to me how well this works as reversal awareness for ES. Doesn't mean that one will happen, or if it does that it will have trade-able juice, though it is very important awareness never-the-less.

WHAT'S THIS?
This IS NOT the wheel "Re-Invention"... This is exactly what the name says: A pair of Envelope Bands to measure "volatility", constructed at statistical relation from within price series and their Rolling back MEAN (Simple Moving Average). YES, What Mr. Bollinger did and put it's name to this simple, cleaver and popular formula.
This time, I took the time to make another simple mod, but seems to me to be quite functional in REAL VOLATILE assets like in the example chart: TO USE THEIR GEOMETRIC MODE!!
Cheers!

This script is a complete rewrite of the previous version here .
It gathers market data from up to 8 different Bitcoin exchange pairs (8 is maximum due to script limitations).The influence of each single exchange can be customized individually, default is 50% for 0-fee exchanges, 10% for futures and 100% for all others. For each single exchange a standard deviation from the composite mean price and a average price range are determined. To make data from exchanges with different liquidity comparable, all single exchange price ranges are normalized to the range of the composite mean price. To make data from exchanges with different fee structure (= exchanges that constantly trade at a premium / discount) comparable, all single exchange prices are corrected by their respective standard deviations. To account for trade volume, all price data is weighted by the current candles volume.
