How to Use
THE DISPLAY
Green line/cloud: Bullish momentum
Red line/cloud: Bearish momentum
Above zero: Bulls in control
Below zero: Bears in control
Upper limit (+40): Overbought
Lower limit (-40): Oversold
SIGNALS
🟢 Green Triangle (▲) - Momentum flipping bullish. Buy signal, most powerful below zero.
🔴 Red Triangle (▼) - Momentum flipping bearish. Sell signal, most powerful above zero.
TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Trend Following
In uptrends: Only take green triangles, ignore red
In downtrends: Only take red triangles, ignore green
Use higher timeframe for trend, lower for entries
Example: Daily uptrend → trade green triangles on 1H chart
2. Limit Reversals
Red triangle at upper limit (+40) = strong reversal signal, go short
Green triangle at lower limit (-40) = strong reversal signal, go long
Wait for triangle AND price confirmation
Most reliable on 4H/Daily timeframes
3. Zero Line Trading
SMI crosses above zero → bullish bias, take green triangles
SMI crosses below zero → bearish bias, take red triangles
Zero acts as momentum baseline
4. Divergence Setups
Price higher high + SMI lower high = bearish divergence → take next red triangle
Price lower low + SMI higher low = bullish divergence → take next green triangle
Most powerful at overbought/oversold limits
ENTRIES & EXITS
Enter: On triangle appearance
Stop: Beyond recent opposite-color triangle
Target: Limit levels or opposite triangle
Add: Additional same-color triangles in strong trends

DCA + VA (Value Averaging) | UA versionDCA + VA (Value Averaging) | UA version
DCA + VA is a practical portfolio simulator for TradingView that compares two long-term investing approaches on any symbol:
• DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) — invest a fixed amount on a fixed schedule.
• VA (Value Averaging) — invest (and optionally sell) to keep the invested part of the portfolio close to a target growth path.
The indicator is plotted in a separate lower pane and is designed for realistic capital efficiency analysis, including the effect of cash sitting idle (“cash drag”).
What you see on the chart
• Two thick yellow lines
— DCA line: portfolio value under classic DCA
— VA line: portfolio value under Value Averaging
• Trade dots
— Small green dots : buys
— Small red dots : sells (VA only, if enabled)
• UA table + right-side labels
— key portfolio metrics for both strategies
Core assumptions
• Trades are executed at bar close ( close )
• Dividends and broker commissions are ignored (for now)
• Optional tax logic is available for VA sells: tax is applied to realized profit using average cost basis
Line mode
• Капітал+Кеш (default): shows total portfolio value = holdings + cash (honest “cash drag”)
• Лише капітал : shows holdings value only (invested part)
DCA logic (classic)
Start from Start date .
On each scheduled period ( Week / Month / Half-year / Year ) the script:
• adds the deposit amount to cash
• buys the asset for that amount (if cash is available)
VA logic (Value Averaging)
VA maintains a target value for the invested holdings (asset value only, cash not included ).
On each VA step:
Regular deposit is added to VA cash
Target is updated by period growth g (derived from annual CAGR and selected frequency)
If holdings value is below target → buy using cash (optionally add extra if enabled)
If holdings value is above target and selling is enabled → sell down to target (cash increases; optional profit tax applies)
Target update formula:
Target = Target × (1 + g) + Regular deposit
Optional controls
• Sell excess ( vaSellExcess ): allow sells when above target
• Add extra on drawdowns ( vaAddExtra ): allow additional contributions when cash isn’t enough
• Max extra per period ( vaMaxExtra ): cap extra contributions ( 0 = unlimited )
• Tax on sells ( vaUseTax / vaTaxRate ): apply tax to realized profit (average cost basis)
Table metrics (UA)
For both DCA and VA:
• Накопичено — total contributed cash
• Інвестовано — current invested cost basis
• Кеш — cash balance
• Капітал — portfolio value (based on selected line mode)
• Прибуток % — ROI in percent
• CAGR стратегії — annualized return based on elapsed time
Best use (recommended settings)
• Best timeframe: 1W
Weekly candles make long-term simulations cleaner and more realistic: less noise, fewer “micro” fluctuations, and more stable periodic triggers for DCA/VA steps.
• Recommended workflow:
Set chart timeframe to 1W
Choose deposit frequency (usually Тиждень or Місяць )
Start with Капітал+Кеш to see true cash drag
Compare DCA vs VA using Прибуток % and CAGR (not only absolute $)
• How to interpret results:
— If VA has higher capital but lower ROI %, it usually means you contributed more (extra funding enabled).
— If VA sells rarely, your target path may be aggressive (high CAGR + large deposits), so holdings don’t exceed the target often.
Notes
• If VA shows higher capital but lower profit % , it usually means more total contributions (extra funding enabled).
• Sells can be rare if the target path grows aggressively (high CAGR + large deposits).

Market Entropy [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated information theory-based market analysis system that measures price randomness and structural order using Shannon entropy calculations across price, returns, and volume distributions. Utilizing adaptive percentile-based thresholds and multi-timeframe confirmation, this indicator delivers institutional-grade regime classification distinguishing between structured trending conditions and chaotic ranging environments. The system's composite entropy framework combined with dynamic gradient visualization and MTF alignment validation provides comprehensive market state assessment for optimal strategy selection and risk management.
🔶 Advanced Shannon Entropy Engine
Implements pure information theory methodology using histogram distribution analysis with configurable bin counts to calculate normalized entropy values for price, returns, and volume metrics. The system constructs probability distributions from rolling windows, applies logarithmic entropy calculations, and normalizes against theoretical maximum entropy to produce 0-1 bounded measurements of market randomness and predictability.
float entropy = 0.0
float total = float(len)
for i = 0 to bins - 1
float count = array.get(bin_counts, i)
if count > 0
float prob = count / total
entropy -= prob * math.log(prob) / math.log(2)
float max_entropy = math.log(bins) / math.log(2)
result := entropy / max_entropy
🔶 Adaptive Percentile Threshold System
Features intelligent threshold determination using rolling percentile calculations over configurable calibration periods to establish structure and chaos zones that adapt to changing market characteristics. The system calculates lower percentile for structure threshold (ordered markets) and upper percentile for chaos threshold (random markets), enabling regime classification that adjusts automatically to market evolution.
🔶 Multi-Timeframe Alignment Framework
Implements comprehensive MTF entropy analysis retrieving composite entropy from three configurable higher timeframes with alignment validation logic. The system calculates divergence between current timeframe entropy and higher timeframe values, generating confirmation signals only when all timeframes exhibit entropy agreement within tolerance bands for enhanced signal reliability.
🔶 Three-Regime Classification Engine
Provides sophisticated market state determination classifying conditions as structure (entropy below lower threshold), chaos (entropy above upper threshold), or neutral (entropy between thresholds) with regime strength measurement. The system tracks regime transitions and calculates conviction scores based on distance from thresholds, enabling nuanced assessment of market order versus randomness.
🔶 Composite Entropy Architecture
Combines three distinct entropy measurements weighted by relevance to create unified market randomness metric with exponential smoothing for stability. The system applies 40% weight to price entropy (distribution shape), 35% to return entropy (movement patterns), and 25% to volume entropy (participation randomness), capturing comprehensive market microstructure information.
🔶 Dynamic Gradient Visualization System
Features advanced color blending engine that transitions between primary and secondary colors based on entropy momentum intensity with glow effects for conviction emphasis. The system calculates entropy rate of change, normalizes against recent extremes, and applies smooth color interpolation from secondary to primary hues as momentum intensifies, creating intuitive visual representation of regime strength.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Fill Architecture
Implements multi-layer gradient fills within structure and chaos zones that intensify as entropy moves deeper into extremes, providing immediate visual feedback on regime conviction. The system creates three-tier gradient levels at 33%, 66%, and 100% penetration into zones with progressively lower transparency, emphasizing extreme entropy conditions requiring attention.
🔶 Momentum-Based Divergence Detection
Generates entry signals when entropy crosses below bull divergence level or above bear divergence level, identifying potential regime transitions before price confirmation. The system monitors entropy momentum direction during threshold crossings and validates with MTF alignment, producing high-probability reversal signals at entropy extremes.
🔶 Normalized Display Framework
Provides 0-100 scaled visualization using adaptive min-max normalization calculated from percentile analysis, ensuring consistent visual interpretation across different market conditions and instruments. The system transforms raw composite entropy into normalized space with dynamic thresholds, enabling cross-market and cross-timeframe entropy comparison.
🔶 Regime Strength Measurement
Calculates conviction scores measuring depth of entropy penetration into structure or chaos zones relative to historical ranges, quantifying how definitively current conditions favor trending versus ranging strategies. The system produces 0-1 strength values that modulate visual intensity and can inform position sizing or strategy allocation decisions.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient array operations with optimized histogram calculations and configurable lookback limits to balance accuracy with computational efficiency. The system includes intelligent caching of percentile calculations and streamlined probability summations for smooth real-time entropy updates across extended historical periods.
🔶 Why Choose Market Entropy ?
This indicator delivers sophisticated market regime analysis through pure information theory methodology measuring actual randomness versus structure in price behavior. Unlike traditional volatility or trend indicators that measure price movement characteristics, Market Entropy quantifies the fundamental predictability of market conditions using Shannon entropy calculations. The system's composite approach combining price, return, and volume distributions with adaptive thresholds, MTF confirmation, and gradient visualization makes it essential for traders seeking objective regime classification to optimize strategy selection. Low entropy (structure zone) indicates ordered, trending conditions favorable for directional strategies, while high entropy (chaos zone) signals random, ranging markets better suited for mean reversion or reduced exposure. The indicator excels at identifying regime transitions before they become obvious in price action across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets.
Stress & Recovery Daily Stock/BTC This indicator is a stress → recovery regime tool designed for Daily charts (Bitcoin and equities). It combines Williams Vix Fix (WVF) to detect panic/capitulation conditions (potential bottoms) with RSI vs EMA(RSI) to confirm the start of a recovery phase — but only when that recovery occurs within a configurable number of bars after a WVF panic event.
It is not a generic trend indicator. It focuses on one specific sequence:
Panic spike (WVF) → Recovery confirmation (RSI crossing above EMA(RSI)).
What it Shows
1) Red Bottom Shadow (Panic Zone)
A red shaded area below the baseline appears when WVF triggers a panic condition. This highlights periods where downside pressure and “panic-like” behavior are elevated.
To avoid clutter, the red triangle marker (▼) is plotted only once per red cluster, specifically on the last bar of the panic cluster (end of the WVF signal streak).
2) Green State Ribbon (Recovery Regime)
A green ribbon above the baseline indicates a recovery regime. You can choose how the green signal behaves:
Crossover only: green is active only on the single bar where RSI crosses above EMA(RSI).
State (RSI > EMA): green stays active as long as RSI remains above EMA(RSI).
3) Amber Ribbon (Conflict State)
If panic (WVF) and recovery (green state) overlap, the ribbon turns amber.
This indicates a mixed condition: panic is still present, but momentum is attempting to reverse.
4) Green Triangle Marker (▲) — Validated Recovery Start
A green triangle (▲) appears only when RSI crosses above EMA(RSI) AND that crossover happens within N bars from the most recent WVF panic zone. This time-window filter helps avoid unrelated RSI crossovers that occur far from capitulation events.
How to Use
- Treat red shadow as a “panic/stress zone”.
- Look for the green triangle (▲) as the first validated recovery trigger after panic.
- Use green ribbon as a recovery regime filter (especially in “State” mode).
- Use amber ribbon as a caution zone (overlap = mixed signals).
This indicator is best used as a context and timing filter, not as a complete trading system by itself.
Notes:
- Designed and tuned for Daily timeframe usage.
- Signals may behave differently on intraday timeframes or illiquid assets.

Harmonic Liquidity Waves [JOAT]Harmonic Liquidity Waves
Overview
Harmonic Liquidity Waves is an open-source oscillator indicator that combines multiple volume-based analysis techniques into a unified liquidity flow framework. It integrates VWAP calculations, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) with custom harmonic wave calculations to provide a comprehensive view of volume dynamics and money flow.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Liquidity Flow - Volume-weighted price movement accumulated over a lookback period
Harmonic Wave - Multi-depth smoothed oscillator derived from liquidity flow
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) - Classic accumulation/distribution indicator
Money Flow Index (MFI) - Volume-weighted RSI showing buying/selling pressure
Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO) - Trend-volume relationship indicator
Wave Interference - Combined constructive/destructive wave patterns
Volume Profile POC - Point of Control from simplified volume distribution
How It Works
The core liquidity flow calculation tracks volume-weighted price changes:
calculateLiquidityFlow(series float vol, series float price, simple int period) =>
float priceChange = ta.change(price)
float volumeFlow = vol * math.sign(priceChange)
// Accumulated over period using buffer array
float avgFlow = flowSum / period
avgFlow
The harmonic oscillator applies multi-depth smoothing:
harmonicOscillator(series float flow, simple int depth, simple int period) =>
float harmonic = 0.0
for i = 1 to depth
float wave = ta.ema(flow, period * i) / i
harmonic += wave
harmonic / depth
CMF measures accumulation/distribution using the Money Flow Multiplier:
float mfm = ((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low)
float mfv = mfm * vol
float cmf = ta.sum(mfv, period) / ta.sum(vol, period) * 100
Signal Generation
Liquidity shift signals occur when:
Bullish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses above signal line
Bearish Shift: Smoothed wave crosses below signal line
Strong signals require volume indicator confirmation:
Strong Bull: Bullish shift + CMF > 0 + MFI > 50 + KVO > 0
Strong Bear: Bearish shift + CMF < 0 + MFI < 50 + KVO < 0
Divergence detection compares price pivots with liquidity wave pivots to identify potential reversals.

Suggested Use Cases
Identify accumulation/distribution phases using CMF and wave direction
Confirm momentum with MFI overbought/oversold readings
Watch for divergences between price and liquidity flow
Use strong signals when multiple volume indicators align
Timeframe Recommendations
Best on 15m to Daily charts. Volume-based indicators require sufficient trading activity for meaningful readings.
Limitations
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument
Divergence detection uses pivot-based lookback and may lag
Volume Profile POC is simplified and not a full profile analysis

[RoyalNeuron] RSI-SMA [WidowMaker v1.0]Hey everyone,👋
This is WidowMaker v1.0 — my free take on a really clean, zero-lag smoothed RSI that actually helps you see momentum without all the noise.
What makes it different:
- Smoothed RSI (you pick SMA or EMA) so it doesn’t whipsaw as much as the default one
- Green line when momentum is rising, red when it’s falling — super easy to read at a glance
- Histogram turns solid green for strong upward push, solid red when things are fading
- Very faint green background in oversold (buy zone) and faint red in overbought (caution zone)
Quick way to use it:
- Green line + solid green histogram near the bottom (oversold) → good spot for longs
- Red line + solid red histogram near the top (overbought) → time to think about shorts or taking profit
I made it because I was tired of cluttered indicators that look cool but don’t help much in real trading.
I am thinking of an updated version, still thinking of what to add so that to add value.
Would love your honest feedback — like it, use it, tell me what you’d add. More free tools on the way!
Cheers,
RoyalNeuron 👑

Relative Strength Index SmoothedDefinition
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements. Essentially RSI, when graphed, provides a visual mean to monitor both the current, as well as historical, strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes. Given the popularity of cash settled instruments (stock indexes) and leveraged financial products (the entire field of derivatives); RSI has proven to be a viable indicator of price movements.
History
J.Welles Wilder Jr. is the creator of the Relative Strength Index. A former Navy mechanic, Wilder would later go on to a career as a mechanical engineer. After a few years of trading commodities, Wilder focused his efforts on the study of technical analysis. In 1978 he published New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. This work featured the debut of his new momentum oscillator, the Relative Strength Index, better known as RSI.
Over the years, RSI has remained quite popular and is now seen as one of the core, essential tools used by technical analysts the world over. Some practitioners of RSI have gone on to further build upon the work of Wilder. One rather notable example is Andrew Cardwell who used RSI for trend confirmation.
Calculation
RSI = 100 – 100/ (1 + RS)
RS = Average Gain of n days UP / Average Loss of n days DOWN
For a practical example, the built-in Pine Script function rsi(), could be replicated in long form as follows.
change = change(close)
gain = change >= 0 ? change : 0.0
loss = change < 0 ? (-1) * change : 0.0
avgGain = rma(gain, 14)
avgLoss = rma(loss, 14)
rs = avgGain / avgLoss
rsi = 100 - (100 / (1 + rs))
"rsi", above, is exactly equal to rsi(close, 14).
The basics
As previously mentioned, RSI is a momentum based oscillator. What this means is that as an oscillator, this indicator operates within a band or a set range of numbers or parameters. Specifically, RSI operates between a scale of 0 and 100. The closer RSI is to 0, the weaker the momentum is for price movements. The opposite is also true. An RSI closer to 100 indicates a period of stronger momentum.
- 14 days is likely the most popular period, however traders have been known to use a wide variety of numbers of days.
What to look for
Overbought/Oversold
Wilder believed that when prices rose very rapidly and therefore momentum was high enough, that the underlying financial instrument/commodity would have to eventually be considered overbought and a selling opportunity was possibly at hand. Likewise, when prices dropped rapidly and therefore momentum was low enough, the financial instrument would at some point be considered oversold presenting a possible buying opportunity.
There are set number ranges within RSI that Wilder consider useful and noteworthy in this regard. According to Wilder, any number above 70 should be considered overbought and any number below 30 should be considered oversold.
An RSI between 30 and 70 was to be considered neutral and an RSI around 50 signified “no trend”.
Some traders believe that Wilder’s overbought/oversold ranges are too wide and choose to alter those ranges. For example, someone might consider any number above 80 as overbought and anything below 20 as oversold. This is entirely at the trader’s discretion.
Divergence
RSI Divergence occurs when there is a difference between what the price action is indicating and what RSI is indicating. These differences can be interpreted as an impending reversal. Specifically there are two types of divergences, bearish and bullish.
Bullish RSI Divergence – When price makes a new low but RSI makes a higher low.
Bearish RSI Divergence – When price makes a new high but RSI makes a lower high.
Wilder believed that Bearish Divergence creates a selling opportunity while Bullish Divergence creates a buying opportunity.
Failure Swings
Failure swings are another occurrence which Wilder believed increased the likelihood of a price reversal. One thing to keep in mind about failure swings is that they are completely independent of price and rely solely on RSI. Failure swings consist of four “steps” and are considered to be either Bullish (buying opportunity) or Bearish (selling opportunity).
Bullish Failure Swing
RSI drops below 30 (considered oversold).
RSI bounces back above 30.
RSI pulls back but remains above 30 (remains above oversold)
RSI breaks out above its previous high.
Bearish Failure Swing
RSI rises above 70 (considered overbought)
RSI drops back below 70
RSI rises slightly but remains below 70 (remains below overbought)
RSI drops lower than its previous low.
Cardwell’s trend confirmations
Of course no one indicator is a magic bullet and almost nothing can be taken simply at face value. Andrew Cardwell, who was mentioned earlier, was one of those students who took Wilder’s RSI interpretations and built upon them. Cardwell’s work with RSI led to RSI being a great tool not just for anticipating reversals but also for confirming trends.
Uptrends/Downtrends
Cardwell made keen observations while studying Wilder’s ideas of divergence. Cardwell believed that:
Bullish Divergence only occurs in a Bearish Trend.
Bearish Divergence only occurs in an Bullish Trend.
Both Bullish and Bearish Divergence usually cause a brief price correction and not an actual trend reversal.
What this means is that essentially Divergence should be used as a way to confirm trends and not necessarily anticipate reversals.
Reversals
Cardwell also discovered what are referred to as Positive and Negative Reversals. Positive and Negative Reversals are basically the opposite of Divergence.
Positive Reversal occurs when price makes a higher low while RSI makes a lower low. Price proceeds to rise. Positive Reversals only occur in Bullish Trends.
Negative Reversal occurs when price makes a lower high while RSI makes a higher high. Price proceeds to fall. Negative Reversals only occur in Bearish Trends.
Positive and Negative Reversals can be boiled down to cases where price outperformed momentum. And because Positive and Negative Reversals only occur in their specified trends, they can be used as yet another tool for trend confirmation.
Summary
For more than four decades the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been an extremely valuable tool for almost any serious technical analyst. Wilder’s work with momentum laid the groundwork for future chartists and analysts to dive in deeper to further explore the implications of his RSI modeling and its correlation with underlying price movements. As such, RSI is simply one of the best tools or indicators in a trader’s arsenal of market metrics to develop most any trading methodology. Only the novice will take one look at RSI and assume which direction the market will be heading next based off of one number. Wilder believed that a bullish divergence was a sign that the market would soon be on the rise, while Cardwell believed that such a divergence was merely a slight price correction on the continued road of a downward trend. As with any indicator, a trader should take the time to research and experiment with the indicator before relying on it as a sole source of information for any trading decision. When used in proper its perspective, RSI has proven to be a core indicator and reliable metric of price, velocity and depth of market.

HMA 9/50 Crossover + RSI 50 Filter1. The Core Indicators
HMA 9 (Fast): Acts as the primary trigger line. Its unique calculation minimizes lag compared to standard moving averages, allowing for faster entries.
HMA 50 (Slow): Defines the medium-term trend direction and acts as the "anchor" for crossover signals.
RSI 14: Serves as a "momentum gate." Instead of traditional overbought/oversold levels, we use the 50 midline to confirm that the directional strength supports the crossover.
2. Entry Conditions
Long Entry: Triggered when the HMA 9 crosses above the HMA 50 AND the RSI is greater than 50.
Short Entry: Triggered when the HMA 9 crosses below the HMA 50 AND the RSI is less than 50.
3. Execution & Reversal
This strategy is currently configured as an Always-in-the-Market system.
A "Long" position is automatically closed when a "Short" signal is triggered.
To prevent "pyramiding" (buying multiple positions in one direction), the script checks the current position_size before opening new entries.
How to Use
Timeframe: Optimized for 3-minute (3m) candles but can be tuned for 1m to 15m scalping.
Settings: Use the Inputs panel to adjust HMA lengths based on the volatility of your specific asset (e.g., shorter for stable stocks, longer for volatile crypto).
Visuals:
Aqua Line: HMA 9
Orange Line: HMA 50
Green Background: Bullish RSI Momentum (> 50)
Red Background: Bearish RSI Momentum (< 50)
Risk Disclosure
Whipsaws: This strategy is likely to underperform in sideways markets.
Backtesting: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test this strategy in the Strategy Tester with appropriate commission and slippage settings before live use.
Williams %R Smoothed (EMA colour & bar toggle)From TradingView's description:
Williams %R (%R) is a momentum-based oscillator used in technical analysis, primarily to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The %R is based on a comparison between the current close and the highest high for a user defined look back period. %R Oscillates between 0 and -100 (note the negative values) with readings closer to zero indicating more overbought conditions and readings closer to -100 indicating oversold. Typically %R can generate set ups based on overbought and oversold conditions as well overall changes in momentum.
What's special?
This indicator adds two additional EMA lines to the original Williams %R indicator. Default EMA lengths are 5 and 13. The result is 2 smoother average lines, which are easier to read.
This indicator includes:
- signals for EMA crosses. EMA crosses can help indicate confirmed trend changes. Default colors are green and red
- signals for trend reversals on the faster EMA line. Default colors are blue and orange
Alerts available for bullish/bearish crossovers and reversals.
Stochastic RSI (adjustable fast line color)Definition
The Stochastic RSI indicator (Stoch RSI) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time. The Stochastic RSI is an oscillator that calculates a value between 0 and 1 which is then plotted as a line. This indicator is primarily used for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
History
The Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI) indicator was developed by Tushard Chande and Stanley Kroll. They introduced their indicator in their 1994 book The New Technical Trader.
Calculation
In this example, a very common 14 Period Stoch RSI is used.
Stoch RSI = (RSI - Lowest Low RSI) / (Highest High RSI - Lowest Low RSI)
Here are some approximate benchmark levels:
14 Day Stoch RSI = 1 when RSI is at its highest level in 14 Days.
14 Day Stoch RSI = .8 when RSI is near the high of its 14 Day high/low range.
14 Day Stoch RSI = .5 when RSI is in the middle of its 14 Day high/low range.
14 Day Stoch RSI = .2 when RSI is near the low of its 14 Day high/low range.
14 Day Stoch RSI = 0 when RSI is at its lowest level in 14 Days.
The basics
It is important to remember that the Stoch RSI is an indicator of an indicator making it two steps away from price. RSI is one step away from price and therefore a stochastic calculation of the RSI is two steps away. This is important because as with any indicator that is multiple steps away from price, Stoch RSI can have brief disconnects from actual price movement. That being said, as a range bound indicator, the Stoch RSI's primary function is identifying crossovers as well as overbought and oversold conditions.
What to look for
Overbought/Oversold
Overbought and Oversold conditions are traditionally different than the RSI. While RSI overbought and oversold conditions are traditionally set at 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold, Stoch RSI are typically .80 and .20 respectively. When using the Stoch RSI, overbought and oversold work best when trading along with the underlying trend.
During an uptrend, look for oversold conditions for points of entry.
During a downtrend, look for overbought conditions for points of entry.
Summary
When using Stoch RSI in technical analysis, a trader should be careful. By adding the Stochastic calculation to RSI, speed is greatly increased. This can generate many more signals and therefore more bad signals as well as the good ones. Stoch RSI needs to be combined with additional tools or indicators in order to be at its most effective. Using trend lines or basic chart pattern analysis can help to identify major, underlying trends and increase the Stoch RSI's accuracy. Using Stoch RSI to make trades that go against the underlying trend is a dangerous proposition.

Elite Cumulative Volume Delta OscillatorOverview
The Elite CVD+ is a premium-grade, session-resettable Cumulative Volume Delta indicator designed exclusively for professional futures and volume-profile traders. By focusing on the cleaner and more actionable Line-Focused mode, it transforms raw order flow data into a precise decision engine that reveals institutional buying/selling pressure, absorption, exhaustion, and high-probability reversal/continuation zones.
Unlike standard CVD tools that accumulate indefinitely or reset awkwardly, this version resets cleanly at your chosen anchor period (default daily) while pulling granular delta from lower timeframes when desired. The result: a smooth, non-repainting line that highlights real-time shifts in aggressive participation without the noise of perpetual accumulation.
Why This Indicator Is Elite-Level Useful
True Institutional Footprint
Cumulative Volume Delta measures the net aggressive buying (bid hits) vs. selling (ask hits). Sustained positive CVD = buyers in control; negative = sellers dominating. When price makes new highs on weakening CVD → classic bearish divergence signaling distribution. The session reset prevents old data from distorting current conviction, making divergences far more reliable than perpetual CVD.
Early Reversal Detection via Absorption & Extremes
Absorption highlighting flags scenarios where heavy delta pushes against price but price refuses to follow (e.g., massive selling into lows yet price holds or closes higher) — textbook trapping/retail stop-hunting.
Session CVD extremes with dynamic test zones pinpoint where aggressive flow is exhausted. Price returning to test these levels often produces high-R:R reversals.
Confluence-Rich Signals
Dual EMAs provide trend/filter context (crossovers, zero-line bounces). Dynamic coloring instantly shows momentum strength. Extreme single-bar delta highlights climax buying/selling. Built-in regular + hidden divergences align order flow with price structure.
Multi-Timeframe Consistency
Optional custom lower-TF delta fetch ensures the same granular data regardless of chart timeframe — critical for traders who switch between 1-min execution charts and 15-min/1H analysis charts.
Clean, Low-Lag Visuals
Thick CVD line with intelligent coloring, subtle backgrounds, persistent extreme lines, and optional labels keep the pane readable even during fast markets. No clutter from inferior candle representations.
How Professional Traders Use Elite CVD+ Most Successfully
Primary Setup Framework
Use on futures with reliable volume delta (ES, NQ, YM, CL, GC, etc.). Best timeframes: 3–15 minutes for intraday, 1H–4H for swing. Combine with price action structure (order blocks, fair value gaps, market profile highs/lows).
Practical Tips for Maximum Edge
Anchor Period: '1D' for regular session trading (resets at 00:00 exchange time). Use '1W' for weekly bias or '4H' for London/NY session-specific flow.
Lower Timeframe Delta: Enable custom and set to '1' or '3' for maximum granularity on indices. Leave disabled on higher charts for smoother read.
Absorption Tuning: Raise threshold to 80–90 on volatile instruments (NQ) to filter noise; lower to 70 on quieter ones (CL, GC).
Divergences: Most powerful on 15M+. Disable hidden on very low TFs if too noisy.
Alerts: Use the master “Any Event” alert for push/email/webhook notifications of zero crosses or new extremes — perfect for mobile monitoring.
Combination Tools: Pair with session VWAP, volume profile (fixed range at highs/lows), or psychological levels for triple confluence.
SCOTTGO - MOMO RVOL Trend Painter V2 (Elite Pro)SCOTTGO - MOMO RVOL Trend Painter V2 (Elite Pro)
This professional-grade trend-following indicator identifies high-probability "Elite" entry points by combining Relative Volume (RVOL) with strict trend alignment and momentum filters. It is designed to filter out market noise and highlight only the most significant institutional moves.
Core Features
Elite Signal Logic: Triggers only when high RVOL (default >2.0x) aligns with a confirmed trend (Price vs. VWAP & 9EMA) and positive momentum (RSI & MACD).
Dynamic Bar Coloring: Instantly paints bars Green (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) when all "Elite" criteria are met.
Smart Labeling: Labels are corner-anchored to the left of the signal bar. This prevents visual clutter and ensures labels never obstruct new price action.
Detailed Tooltips: Hover over any "Elite" flag to see a comprehensive breakdown of the specific metrics (RVOL value, Trend status, RSI, and MACD) that triggered the signal.
Key Components
RVOL Threshold: Adjustable sensitivity to volume spikes.
Trend Filter: Optional requirement for price to stay above/below VWAP and the 9EMA.
Momentum Filters: Integrated RSI and MACD confirmation to avoid "exhaustion" trades.
Visual Customization: Full control over label spacing, colors, and opacity.
How to use: Look for the ⭐ ELITE flags as confirmation for trend continuation or high-volume breakouts. Use the triangles for precise candle entry points.

BTC - StableFlow: Pit-Stop & Refuel EngineBTC – StableFlow: Pit-Stop & Refuel Engine | RM
Strategic Context: The Institutional Gas Station In the high-speed race of the crypto markets, Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI) represent the Fuel, and Bitcoin is the Race Car. Most traders only look at the car's speed (Price), but they ignore the gas tank. The StableFlow Engine is a telemetry dashboard designed to monitor the "Fuel Pressure" within the ecosystem, identifying exactly when the car is being refueled and when it is running on empty.
The Telemetry Logic: How to Read the Race
The indicator operates on a Relative Velocity model. We aren't just looking at how many Stablecoins exist; we are measuring the Acceleration of Stablecoin Market Cap relative to the Acceleration of BTC Price.
1. The Fuel Reservoir (The Histogram)
• Cyan Zones (Refuel): The gas station is open. Institutional "Dry Powder" is flowing into stables faster than it is being spent on BTC. The tank is filling up.
• Orange Zones (Exhaust): The "Overdrive." The car is driving faster than the gas can be pumped. Price is outperforming the stablecoin supply—this is unsustainable and usually precedes a stall.
2. Lap Transitions (The Grey Lines)
These vertical markers signify a Regime Shift . They trigger the moment the momentum crosses the zero-axis, visually distinguishing the transition between a "Net-Refueling" period and a "Net-Exhaustion" period. While not used as direct entry signals, they define the Macro Lap we are currently in.
Operational Playbook: The Pit-Stop Signals
We don't just buy because the tank is full; we buy when the car exits the pits and begins to accelerate. This is captured by our proprietary Pit-Stop Pips.
• Blue Pip (Pit-Stop Buy): Triggered when the Refuel momentum has peaked and is now rotating back into the market. The refuel is complete; the car is rejoining the race with a full tank.
• Red Pip (Exhaust Sell): Triggered when the price acceleration has overextended relative to its fuel source and begins to "roll over." The tank is near empty; time for a tactical pull-back.
Settings & Calibration: The Pit Wall Dashboard
Signal Mode & Logic The engine features a dual-mode signaling system to adapt to different market conditions (or your personal preferred logic):
• Consecutive Mode: Best for high-velocity trends. Fires a pip after n bars of momentum reversal (Default: 2 bars).
• Percentage (%) Mode: Best for structural fades. Fires a pip when the momentum retraces by a specific percentage (e.g., 15%) from its local peak, regardless of the bar count.
Recommended Calibration
While the engine is versatile across various timeframes, the Weekly (1W) chart is the preferred setting for identifying high-conviction macro signals. Lower timeframes provide tactical speed, but the 1W frame offers significantly cleaner signals by filtering out the daily market noise.
Weekly (1W) — The Macro Signal (Preferred): * Velocity Lookback: 20 | Smoothing: 5.
Peak Lookback: 25 (Represents roughly half a year of telemetry data). This is a good starting point for identifying major cycle rotations.
Daily (1D) — The Tactical Pulse: * Velocity Lookback: 20 | Smoothing: 5.
Peak Lookback: 25 (Represents one trading month of telemetry). Useful for active swing traders looking for entry/exit timing within an established macro trend.
Technical Documentation
Data Sourcing & Aggregation The script utilizes request.security to aggregate a "Big Three" Stablecoin Market Cap (USDT + USDC + DAI). This prevents "False Exhaustion" signals caused by capital simply migrating between different stablecoin assets.
Mathematical Foundation The core engine calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) for the Aggregate Stablecoin Supply and BTC Price over a synchronized lookback window.
Formula Logic: Fuel Pressure = EMA ( ROC(Stables) - ROC(BTC) )
The Pit-Stop Pips utilize a local peak-finding algorithm via ta.highest and ta.lowest within a rolling 25-bar window to calculate the Relative Retracement Magnitude . This ensures signals are mathematically tied to the volatility of the current market regime.
The Dual-Fuel Framework: StableFlow x Liquisync
The StableFlow Engine is designed to function as the tactical counterpart to the Liquisync: Macro Pulse Engine . While Liquisync monitors the Global Supply Line (the "Tanker Truck" of M2 Liquidity moving from Central Banks toward the track with a 60-day lead), StableFlow measures the Immediate Fuel Pressure (the "Dry Powder" already in the pit lane, ready to be pumped into the car).
By using both indicators in tandem, you can follow the Dual-Fuel Strategy: Liquisync identifies the fundamental macro regime, while StableFlow identifies the specific "Refuel" and "Exhaustion" pivots within that regime. We will be providing a comprehensive breakdown of this synchronized telemetry in our upcoming Substack Masterclass: The Dual-Fuel Architecture.

Custom Sector Comparison Index (CSCI)Compare any stock against a custom basket of its true peers.
Most traders compare stocks to broad indexes like the S&P 500 (SPY) or the Nasdaq (QQQ). But if you are analyzing a niche sector—like Residential REITs, Gold Miners, or AI Semis—broad indexes are too noisy.
This indicator allows you to build your own Custom Equal-Weight Index made up of up to 12 specific symbols. It then plots the performance of the stock you are currently viewing against that custom index, starting from a specific "Anchor Date" of your choosing.
Why use this?
Standard relative strength tools force you to compare against a single symbol (like SPY). But if you want to know if Centerspace (CSR) is lagging its direct competitors, comparing it to SPY (which contains Tech and Healthcare) is useless. Comparing it to VNQ (which contains Cell Towers and Malls) is also imperfect.
With this tool, you can create a "Pure Residential REIT" index and see exactly how your stock is performing against the group.
Key Features:
Fully Configurable: Input up to 12 different symbols to build your custom index.
Smart Filtering: Automatically ignores blank slots. You can build a basket of 3 stocks or 12 stocks without breaking the math.
Custom Anchor Date: Set the specific start date for the comparison (e.g., YTD, Q3 start, or a specific market event).
Visual Performance Gap: Green shading indicates your stock is outperforming the basket; Red shading indicates underperformance.
Example Use Case: Residential REITs
I developed this to analyze the "Residential REIT" sector. I wanted to see if Invitation Homes (INVH) was trading at a discount due to fundamentals or if the whole sector was down.
I configured the basket with 9 of its closest peers:
NYSE:VRE, NYSE:UDR, NYSE:MAA
NYSE:EQR, NYSE:CSR, NYSE:ESS
NYSE:CPT, NYSE:AVB, NYSE:AMH
The Result: The indicator draws a gray line representing the average return of those 9 "Big Boys." I can then load CSR on the chart and immediately see if it is lagging the pack (a potential value buy) or leading it.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open Settings (Double-click the line).
Start Date: Set the date you want the "race" to begin (where all returns reset to 0%).
Symbols: Type in the tickers for your custom basket (e.g., NVDA, AMD, INTC). Leave unused slots blank.
Analyze:
Gray Line: The average performance of your basket.
Blue Line: The performance of the current symbol on your chart.
Pro Tip: You can save different "Presets" in the indicator settings for different sectors (e.g., save one preset as "Semis" and another as "Oil Majors") so you don't have to re-type symbols every time.
KAMA Oscillator | IkkeOmarThis script transforms the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) into an oscillator format, designed to visualize trend direction with reduced noise sensitivity. It operates in two modes: a Raw mode that tracks price levels directly, and a Normalized mode that bounds the oscillator between -1 and +1 for easier comparison across assets.
The calculations are the same as for the Normalized KAMA Oscillator, but I added a few features that users of the old version wouldn't necessarily want.
How it works
Efficiency Ratio (ER): The script calculates the "efficiency" of price movement by comparing the net direction of price to the total volatility over a set period.
Adaptive Smoothing:
When volatility is high but direction is unclear (choppy), the KAMA slows down to filter noise.
When price trends clearly, the KAMA speeds up to track the move.
Normalization (Optional): If enabled, the script takes the raw KAMA value and scales it relative to its highest and lowest points over the Normalization lookback period. The result oscillates between -1 (extreme low) and +1 (extreme high).
The SMA Signal Logic
The script allows you to overlay an SMA (Simple Moving Average) on the oscillator. This serves as a dynamic baseline for the oscillator's momentum.
Signal Generation: A signal is generated when the KAMA Oscillator crosses its SMA.
Bullish: Oscillator crosses above the SMA.
Bearish: Oscillator crosses below the SMA.
Lag vs. Noise Trade-off:
Advantage (Reduced Lag): Crossing the SMA often triggers a signal earlier than waiting for the oscillator to change color (slope change) or cross the zero line. It identifies when immediate momentum is outperforming the recent average.
Risk (Increased Noise): During consolidation, the oscillator will hover close to the SMA line. This increases the probability of "whipsaws" (false signals) where the line crosses back and forth rapidly without a sustained trend. This signal is aggressive and should be used with trend filters.
Smart WaveTrend Crossover█ OVERVIEW
Smart WaveTrend Crossover is an indicator based on WaveTrend crossovers, designed to reduce the number of false signals typically produced by classic oscillator crossovers.
Instead of triggering a signal immediately at the line crossover, the indicator requires additional confirmation in the form of a price breakout from a box, created at the moment of the WaveTrend signal.
The script also includes:
- a trend filter based on a separate WaveTrend
- “fog” visualization
- candle coloring based on trend direction
- fully configurable entry signals
- automatic Take Profit / Stop Loss levels
- a real-time TP/SL table
█ CONCEPTS
Classic WaveTrend crossovers often generate noise, especially during consolidation.
Smart WaveTrend Crossover attempts to address this issue using a breakout confirmation mechanism:
- at the moment WT1 crosses WT2, a horizontal price box is created
- a trade signal is generated only when price closes outside the box
- an optional trend filter limits signals to the dominant market direction
The trend filter is built on a WaveTrend crossover using larger, slower parameters, independent from the signal-generating WaveTrend.
This allows short-term momentum to be separated from the broader market direction, and all trend filter parameters can be freely adjusted.
WaveTrend signal settings are not identical to the original / classic values.
They are configured to generate a higher number of signals, which works better in combination with breakout boxes and confirmation logic.
Signal sensitivity can be easily adjusted by modifying channel length and averaging parameters.
By default, show_only_matching is enabled:
- bullish crossover → bullish breakout only (BUY)
- bearish crossover → bearish breakout only (SELL)
█ FEATURES
WaveTrend (Signals & Trend):
- two independent WaveTrend setups:
- one for signal generation
- one for trend determination
- signal parameters configured more aggressively than classic defaults
- trend filter based on a slower WaveTrend crossover
- trend direction visualized using directional fog, not a histogram
WaveTrend Input Explanation:
- Channel Length – controls WaveTrend reaction speed (shorter = more signals)
- Average Length – smoothing of the main WT1 line
- MA Length – smoothing of the signal line WT2
- Source – price source used in calculations (default: hlc3)
Fog (Visualization):
- visual representation of market pressure in the direction of the trend
- fog height based on average candle size × offset_mult
- adjustable transparency or fully disableable
Breakout Boxes:
- a box is created on every WaveTrend direction change
- default height based on the signal candle range
- optional box expansion using average candle size × box_multiplier
Signals:
- triangles or “BUY / SELL” labels
- direction matching filter (show_only_matching)
- option to display all breakouts regardless of crossover direction
- built-in BUY and SELL alerts
Visual Settings:
- candle coloring based on WaveTrend trend direction
- full control over bullish and bearish colors
Risk Management – TP / SL:
- automatic TP1, TP2, TP3 and SL levels
- two calculation modes:
- Candle Multiplier – based on average candle range
- Percentage – percentage from entry price
- separate parameters for each level
- TP/SL lines drawn on the chart
- real-time TP/SL price table
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → Indicators → search “Smart WaveTrend Crossover”
Key settings:
- WaveTrend Settings for Signals – signal sensitivity
- WaveTrend Settings for Trend – market direction filter
- Signal Settings – signal type and box logic
- Fog – pressure visualization
- Risk Management – TP/SL configuration
Signal meaning:
- BUY → upward breakout from a box after a bullish crossover
- SELL → downward breakout from a box after a bearish crossover
- visible boxes → breakout watch zones
- fog and candle color → current market direction
█ APPLICATIONS
Standalone entry system
- entering directly on BUY / SELL signals
- or entering on trend color change
Filter for price-action strategies
- using WaveTrend signals as directional confirmation
- e.g. level breakout + WaveTrend confirmation = entry
Trend indicator
- trading other tools only in the direction of the WaveTrend trend
- e.g. RSI breaks above 50 while WaveTrend trend is bullish
█ NOTES
- Default settings are a starting point and may require adjustment
- The indicator works best as part of a broader trading system
Rachev Regime AnalyzerRachev Regime Analyzer ~ GForge
What It Does
Measures the ratio of extreme gains to extreme losses to identify whether markets favor bulls or bears. When your best moves are bigger than your worst moves, conditions are bullish. When the opposite is true, conditions are bearish.
Simple Interpretation:
Ratio > 1.2 → Bullish regime (tail gains exceed tail losses)
Ratio < 0.8 → Bearish regime (tail losses exceed tail gains)
Between → Neutral/transitional
Key Features
Two Modes:
Single Asset: Analyze current chart
Multi-Asset: Aggregate regime across 5 assets with custom weights (great for gauging overall crypto/market conditions)
Customizable:
Lookback period (20-200 bars)
Tail percentile (what counts as "extreme")
Bullish/bearish thresholds
6 color schemes
Optional MA smoothing
Visual Signals:
Buy/sell markers at threshold crosses
Background regime coloring
Info table with current values and confidence score
Configurable alerts
How to Use
Choose lookback period based on your timeframe (40-60 bars is a good start)
Watch for threshold crosses - these mark regime changes
Check confidence score - higher = more reliable
Use multi-asset mode to see if entire market is shifting (not just one coin)
Best combined with: Trend indicators, support/resistance, volume analysis
Parameters
Lookback: More bars = smoother, less responsive
Alpha (0.10): Defines extreme events - lower = more extreme
Thresholds: Adjust based on asset volatility
Return Type: Log returns recommended for most assets
What Makes It Useful
Unlike simple volatility measures, this shows asymmetry - whether extreme moves favor upside or downside. A ratio of 1.5 means your extreme gains are 50% larger than extreme losses - that's actionable information about risk-reward dynamics.
Multi-asset aggregation is particularly powerful for crypto traders wanting to gauge if BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. are all showing similar regime characteristics.

BE-Synergistic RSI Fusion Strategy█ Overview of the Script:
The Synergistic RSI Fusion Strategy is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to detect market turning points (reversals) and high-momentum breakouts. Unlike standard indicators that simply tell you to "Buy" or "Sell" based on a crossed line or overbought/oversold levels, this script builds a structural trade setup using zones. It waits for price action to confirm the signal before acting.
█ Why "Synergistic RSI Fusion"?:
The core engine of the indicator makes it all:
Fusion : Standard RSI only looks at the closing price relative to the previous closing price. This script calculates a comprehensive RSI that incorporates the candle's Highs and Lows.
Why is this more powerful? Imagine a "Hammer" candle where price drops significantly during the session but recovers to close near the open. A standard RSI sees almost no change because the Close is near the Open. However, Fusion RSI captures the full volatility of that dip and recovery, recognizing the massive "effort" and hidden battle between buyers and sellers that standard RSI completely misses.
Synergy : It combines this advanced momentum reading with ATR (Average True Range) to define volatility-based entry and exit zones. It blends momentum (RSI) with market structure (Price Action Zones).
█ How it Stands Unique:
The Core engine: Capturing the true efforts of the movement in price.
Multi-Peak Divergence: Instead of simple A-to-B divergence, this script uses a state machine to track local peaks by filtering out weak signals and waits for a significant disagreement between price and momentum.
The Zone System: It doesn't plot signals blindly. When divergence is found, it draws two "waiting rooms" (Green and Red zones). The trade is only taken if the candle closes inside one of these zones.
█ Divergence Trades: The Two-Way Setup:
A unique feature of this script is that when a Divergence signal appears, it generates two potential entry zones: a Bullish zone and a Bearish zone.
The Rational Behind the Two-Way Approach:
New traders often assume a Divergence means "Reversal." However, experienced traders know that Divergence simply means "Tension is building."
Scenario A (The Reversal): The RSI is screaming that momentum is dying, but price is pushing higher. If price respects the divergence, it will drop into the reversal zone. This is the standard divergence trade.
Scenario B (The Failure/Trap): sometimes, momentum is so strong that it blows through the divergence. If price ignores the RSI warning and breaks into the continuation zone, it signals that the trend is incredibly powerful.
Why Trade Both Ways?
By placing zones on both sides, the script essentially says: " I know a big move is coming because of the tension (Divergence), but I will let the market prove direction first. " This prevents you from " catching a falling knife " by trying to pick the exact top or bottom.
The Counter-Trading Logic (The Trap):
The script includes advanced logic for failed trades. If you enter a trade and the Stop Loss is hit immediately (a "fake-out"), the script adjusts the opposing zone by considering the liquidity of that particular candle.
Why? If the market traps Long traders and hits their stops, that selling pressure often fuels a massive move downwards. This logic allows the script to flip bias instantly and join the real move.
█ Continuation Trends: Why Price Runs After TP:
You may notice that often, after the Take Profit (TP) is hit, the price continues to run in that direction for a long time.
The "Breakout" Effect:
The Take Profit levels in this script are calculated using ATR (Average True Range). This is a conservative target based on recent average volatility.
Structural Breaks: The entry zones are usually positioned at key structural pivots. When price has enough energy to enter the zone and hit 100% of the ATR target, it effectively confirms a Break of Structure.
Momentum Release: The Divergence phase acts like a coiled spring. When that spring finally snaps (the trade entry), the release of energy is often far greater than just one ATR unit.
Psychology: When the TP is hit, it confirms the analysis was correct. This draws in other traders and algorithms who missed the initial entry, adding fuel to the fire and extending the trend.
█ Major Support & Resistance Zone:
The untested zones are typically the safe haven to place your SLs, which definitely act as Support & Resistance once the price approaches these zones.
Advanced Power Index (GGE)# Advanced Power Index (GGE)
## Overview
The Advanced Power Index is a momentum oscillator that provides faster and more responsive signals compared to traditional RSI indicators. It uses direct summation calculations instead of exponential smoothing, making it particularly effective for short to medium-term trading.
## Key Features
- **Faster Response**: Reacts more quickly to price changes than standard RSI
- **Clearer Signals**: Provides sharper, more defined momentum shifts
- **Customizable Levels**: Overbought (68) and Oversold (32) zones
- **Visual Alerts**: Color-coded plot and background highlighting for critical zones
- **Adaptive**: Works well in both trending and ranging markets
## How It Works
The indicator calculates the ratio between positive and negative price changes over a specified period, converting this into a 0-100 scale oscillator. Unlike traditional RSI which uses Wilder's smoothing method, this approach delivers more immediate signals for momentum changes.
## Trading Applications

- **Oversold (< 32)**: Potential buying opportunity when indicator rises back above 32
- **Overbought (> 68)**: Potential selling opportunity when indicator falls back below 68
### 2. Midline Crossovers
- **Above 50**: Bullish momentum, consider long positions
- **Below 50**: Bearish momentum, consider short positions
### 3. Divergence Trading
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes higher highs while indicator makes lower highs
### 4. Trend Following
- In uptrends: Use pullbacks to the 50 level as entry points
- In downtrends: Use rallies to the 50 level as exit/short points
## Color Coding
- **Green**: Strong bullish momentum (> 68)
- **Red**: Strong bearish momentum (< 32)
- **Yellow**: Neutral zone (32-68)
