Buyer/Seller Zone (Simplified Version)📌 Indicator: Buyer/Seller Zone (Simplified Version)
This indicator is designed to highlight potential areas of strong buyer or seller activity based on advanced volume and volatility analysis. It identifies key candles that exhibit anomalous behavior — those standing out from typical market noise — and marks them as potential interest zones.
🔍 What it does:
Detects candles with unusually high volume (anomalies).
Filters them further based on strong price movement (volatility).
Marks bullish and bearish zones using customizable visuals: area, circle, or diamond.
Provides optional alerts when a buyer/seller signal is detected.
💡 How to use:
Use this tool to identify potential reversal or continuation zones.
Zones may act as strong support/resistance areas.
Some levels are more significant than others — do not trade every level blindly. Combine with your own analysis or wait for a retest/confirmation before entry.
⚙️ Customization:
Volume filter threshold
Volatility sensitivity
Visualization type, size, and transparency
🚨 Alerts: Set alerts for bullish, bearish, or any signal type.

BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit█ Overview:
BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit is a toolkit which is built for those we rely on taking multi-confirmation from different indicators available with the traders. This Toolkit aid's traders in understanding their custom logic for their trade setups and provides the summarized results on how it performed over the past.
█ How It Works:
Load the external indicator plots in the indicator input setting
Provide your custom logic for the trade setup
Set your expected SL & TP values
█ Legends, Definitions & Logic Building Rules:
Building the logic for your trade setup plays a pivotal role in the toolkit, it shall be broken into parts and toolkit aims to understand each of the logical parts of your setup and interpret the outcome as trade accuracy.
Toolkit broadly aims to understand 4 types of inputs in "Condition Builder"
Comments : Line which starts with single quotation ( ' ) shall be ignored by toolkit while understanding the logic.
Note: Blank line space or less than 3 characters are treated equally to comments.
Long Condition: Line which starts with " L- " shall be considered for identifying Long setups.
Short Condition: Line which starts with " S- " shall be considered for identifying Short setups.
Variables: Line which starts with " VAR- " shall be considered as variables. Variables can be one such criteria for Long or short condition.
Building Rules: Define all variables first then specify the condition. The usual declare and assign concept of programming. :p)
Criteria Rules: Criteria are individual logic for your one parent condition. multiple criteria can be present in one condition. Each parameter should be delimited with ' | ' key and each criteria should be delimited with ' , ' (Comma with a space - IMPORTANT!!!)
█ Sample Codes for Conditional Builder:
For Trading Long when Open = Low
For Trading Short when Open = High with a Red candle

COT Comm OsciThe COT Ocsillator Indicator is a quantitative analysis tool that uses the positioning of so-called Commercials from the weekly Commitments of Traders (COT) report published by the CFTC. It is designed to detect extreme hedging behavior by institutional participants and translates it into a normalized scale from 0 to 100. The goal is to provide early indication of potential market reversals or overextensions.
What is the "Commercial Index"?
Commercials are market participants with a direct connection to the underlying asset – such as producers, processors, or large-scale users of commodities. They are often referred to as "Smart Money" due to their fundamental market insight and hedging purpose.
The Commercial Index measures where the current net position of Commercials (Long - Short) stands within a user-defined historical lookback window:
Index = 100: the most bullish net position in the selected period.
Index = 0: the most bearish net position.
How does the indicator work?
Data Source: The script uses the latest TradingView/LibraryCOT/4, which provides structured access to official COT data.
Calculation:
Weekly long and short positions of Commercials are requested based on the selected root symbol (e.g., "HG" for Copper).
Net position is calculated as: Net = Long - Short.
This value is normalized within the selected historical range (e.g., 150 weeks) between the highest and lowest net positions.
Result: A smooth oscillator ranging from 0 to 100 is plotted.
How to use the indicator?
Select your target future market (e.g., "GC" for Gold, "CL" for Crude Oil, "HG" for Copper).
Optionally adjust the three time windows to observe short-, mid-, and long-term sentiment (e.g., 125, 250, 500 weeks).
Watch for extreme readings:
Above 80–100: Commercials are heavily net long.
Below 20–0: Commercials are heavily net short.
These extremes are especially relevant when combined with price action, seasonality, or technical signals.
What makes this script unique?
Objective sentiment evaluation based on real institutional positioning.
Three timeframes shown in parallel for multi-horizon analysis.
No smoothing or distortion – raw positioning is visualized cleanly.
Useful in futures markets, where hedging behavior is a major driver.
Tips for Use:
Best viewed on weekly daily or charts (e.g., COMEX:HG1!, NYMEX:CL1!, CBOT:ZW1!).
Combine with technical setups or external sentiment tools for confirmation.
Can be used as a core building block in COT-based strategies or signal generation systems.
This indicator helps you track the footprints of Smart Money – and anticipate where the market might turn.
Flexi MA Reversal🔹 FlexiMA Reversal – Customizable MA-Based Reversal Indicator
FlexiMA Reversal is a real-time, moving average-based reversal indicator designed to highlight potential market turning points using signal and alert lines. It provides visual cues for both early alerts and confirmed entry signals on candle close.
🔧 Key Features:
Customizable Moving Average Type: Choose from EMA, SMA, WMA, or VWMA (default is EMA).
Flexible MA Inputs: Configure up to three MAs (commonly used 5, 50, and 200).
Toggle Visibility: Enable or disable each MA line as needed.
Real-Time Alert System:
Thin alert lines appear when a potential reversal is detected.
Thicker signal lines confirm the reversal when price closes beyond the alert level.
Optional Visual Styling:
Choose custom colors for each MA, signal, and alert line.
Alert candles are automatically colored to match the corresponding alert line.
Option to show only signal lines for cleaner charts.
Customizable projection length for both alert and signal lines.
📈 Strategy Logic:
This indicator is designed to detect reversal opportunities based on the relationship between price and a selected short-term moving average.
Bullish Setup:
Price closes below the selected MA (e.g., EMA 5).
A bullish alert line is drawn at the high.
If a subsequent candle closes above the alert line and the MA, a bullish signal line is plotted.
Bearish Setup:
Price closes above the selected MA.
A bearish alert line is drawn at the low.
If a subsequent candle closes below the alert line and the MA, a bearish signal line is plotted.
This approach attempts to capture quick market shifts where short-term momentum reverses direction near key MA levels.
🎯 How to Use:
Although originally developed using the 5 EMA strategy, through testing it was found that using 6, 7, or 8 EMA offers even better signal quality.
To add broader trend context, 50 MA and 200 MA lines are included and can be toggled on/off based on your strategy preference.
🔍 Trend Filtering & Re-Entry Tips:
Due to the nature of shorter moving averages, reversal signals may appear frequently. For better trend alignment:
Use the 50 MA as a trend filter:
❌ Ignore bearish signals when price is above 50 MA
❌ Ignore bullish signals when price is below 50 MA
Alternatively, filtered-out signals can be used for re-entry within the trend:
For example, if you receive a bearish alert and signal above the 50 MA, and the next candle closes back above the bearish alert line, this may be interpreted as a bullish re-entry opportunity into the prevailing uptrend.
🛠️ Styling Tips:
You can disable alert candle coloring in the Style tab of the indicator settings.
Use the "Show Only Signal Lines" checkbox to keep the chart minimalistic while still tracking confirmed entries.

SQZPROaltStanding on the shoulders of John Carter (Trade The Markets and Simpler Trading) along with Drecken, LazyBear, Makit0 and Beardy_Fred. This version of the Squeeze Pro compares Bollinger Band Width to Keltner Channel Width in determining one of four conditions: no squeeze (BBW > KCW 2x), moderate/wide squeeze (BBW < KCW 2x but > KCW 1.5x), original squeeze (BBW < KCW 1.5x but > KCW1x) and tight squeeze (BBW < KCW 1x). Other approaches compared upper and lower channel values and I found that confusing in some circumstances. Directly comparing the band widths made more sense to me. This version provides the same signals most of the time, but this approach cleared up my confusion. {Happy emoji}

MA Cross With Buy and SellThe Enhanced MA Cross indicator helps traders identify changes in market trends by tracking two moving averages: one short-term and one long-term. When the short-term average crosses above the long-term one, it suggests that momentum is shifting upward, often signaling a buying opportunity. Conversely, when the short-term average drops below the long-term, it may indicate that selling pressure is increasing, signaling a possible exit or short position.
This indicator is particularly useful in trending markets—places where prices are clearly moving up or down—like during strong moves in stocks, crypto, forex, or commodities. It gives you visual buy and sell markers right on the chart, and you can even enable alerts so you don't miss key moments.
However, it's not a great tool for sideways or ranging markets, where prices bounce around without direction. In those situations, the crossover signals can become noisy and less reliable.
Overall, it's a simple, beginner-friendly tool for spotting trend shifts and making more confident trade entries and exits. If needed, we can make it even smarter by combining it with other indicators to filter out bad signals.

Gabriel's Dynamic Sentiment RSI📊 Dynamic Sentiment RSI with Velocity, Acceleration & Divergence Detection
Created by GabrielAmadeusLau
This advanced Pine Script indicator fuses multiple layers of market insight into a unified momentum and sentiment tool. It is designed to extract nuanced sentiment signals from price action using a hybridized RSI model enhanced with stochastic dynamics, volatility weighting, and divergence tracking. It adapts to a wide range of asset classes including equities, crypto, gold, and forex.
🔍 Core Components
✅ 1. Dynamic Sentiment RSI
A normalized, stochastic-based RSI that adjusts its sensitivity using the Sentiment Factor.
Smoothed using a Jurik Moving Average for precision noise filtering.
Weighted using volume, volatility (VIX-like), HL extremes, and trend-based adaptive weighting, giving it a powerful multi-dimensional response.
✅ 2. Hann-Window RSI Calculation
Leverages a Hann Window and Levy Flight transformation to amplify cyclical behavior in RSI inputs.
Applies power-based weighting to directional movement, ideal for assets with cyclic or fractal-like structure.
✅ 3. Velocity & Acceleration Engine
Measures the rate of RSI change over a customizable period, and then the rate of that rate (acceleration).
Both are plotted with adaptive coloring to visually represent momentum shifts.
This dynamic structure aids in anticipating breakout strength or exhaustion.
✅ 4. Sentiment Heat Background
Background shading reflects bullish (teal) or bearish (silver) sentiment using smoothed stochastic RSI outputs.
Creates an intuitive market "mood" indicator for quick-glance visual analysis.
🔁 Smoothing & Weighting Customizations
You can toggle between different weighting modes:
Volume Weighted: Uses volume or ATR if unavailable.
VIX Weighted: Incorporates a volatility-based weight via a WVF-like formula.
HL Weighted: High-Low range smoothed.
Linear Weighted: Applies linear regression to the signal.
Trend Adaptive: Squares rolling maximums/minimums for dynamic strength adaptation.
🔎 Divergence Detection System
Supports Regular & Hidden Divergence using any of the following pivots:
Raw RSI
Smoothed K% RSI
Sentiment RSI
Velocity
Acceleration
Allows divergence tracking on custom timeframes and Heikin Ashi data.
Custom line styles, colors, and optional “last signal only” visibility.
Alerts are provided for all four divergence types.
📌 Built-in Alerts

Weighted RSI is normalized from -100 to 100, with color-coded velocity and acceleration histograms.
PRO Investing - Apex EnginePRO Investing - Apex Engine
1. Core Concept: Why Does This Indicator Exist?
Traditional momentum oscillators like RSI or Stochastic use a fixed "lookback period" (e.g., 14). This creates a fundamental problem: a 14-period setting that works well in a fast, trending market will generate constant false signals in a slow, choppy market, and vice-versa. The market's character is dynamic, but most tools are static.
The Apex Engine was built to solve this problem. Its primary innovation is a self-optimizing core that continuously adapts to changing market conditions. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, it actively tests three different momentum profiles (Fast, Mid, and Slow) in real-time and selects the one that is most synchronized with the current price action.
This is not just a random combination of indicators; it's a deliberate synthesis designed to create a more robust momentum tool. It combines:
Volatility analysis (ATR) to generate adaptive lookback periods.
Momentum measurement (ROC) to gauge the speed of price changes.
Statistical analysis (Correlation) to validate which momentum measurement is most effective right now.
Classic trend filters (Moving Average, ADX) to ensure signals are only taken in favorable market conditions.
The result is an oscillator that aims to be more responsive in volatile trends and more stable in quiet periods, providing a more intelligent and adaptive signal.
2. How It Works: The Engine's Three-Stage Process
To be transparent, it's important to understand the step-by-step logic the indicator follows on every bar. It's a process of Adapt -> Validate -> Signal.
Stage 1: Adapt (Dynamic Length Calculation)
The engine first measures market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) relative to its own long-term average. This creates a volatility_factor. In high-volatility environments, this factor causes the base calculation lengths to shorten. In low-volatility, they lengthen. This produces three potential Rate of Change (ROC) lengths: dynamic_fast_len, dynamic_mid_len, and dynamic_slow_len.
Stage 2: Validate (Self-Optimizing Mode Selection)
This is the core of the engine. It calculates the ROC for all three dynamic lengths. To determine which is best, it uses the ta.correlation() function to measure how well each ROC's movement has correlated with the actual bar-to-bar price changes over the "Optimization Lookback" period. The ROC length with the highest correlation score is chosen as the most effective profile for the current moment. This "active" mode is reflected in the oscillator's color and the dashboard.
Stage 3: Signal (Normalized Velocity Oscillator)
The winning ROC series is then normalized into a consistent oscillator (the Velocity line) that ranges from -100 (extreme oversold) to +100 (extreme overbought). This ensures signals are comparable across any asset or timeframe. Signals are only generated when this Velocity line crosses its signal line and the trend filters (explained below) give a green light.
3. How to Use the Indicator: A Practical Guide
Reading the Visuals:
Velocity Line (Blue/Yellow/Pink): The main oscillator line. Its color indicates which mode is active (Fast, Mid, or Slow).
Signal Line (White): A moving average of the Velocity line. Crossovers generate potential signals.
Buy/Sell Triangles (▲ / ▼): These are your primary entry signals. They are intentionally strict and only appear when momentum, trend, and price action align.
Background Color (Green/Red/Gray): This is your trend context.
Green: Bullish trend confirmed (e.g., price above a rising 200 EMA and ADX > 20). Only Buy signals (▲) can appear.
Red: Bearish trend confirmed. Only Sell signals (▼) can appear.
Gray: No clear trend. The market is likely choppy or consolidating. No signals will appear; it is best to stay out.
Trading Strategy Example:
Wait for a colored background. A green or red background indicates the market is in a tradable trend.
Look for a signal. For a green background, wait for a lime Buy triangle (▲) to appear.
Confirm the trade. Before entering, confirm the signal aligns with your own analysis (e.g., support/resistance levels, chart patterns).
Manage the trade. Set a stop-loss according to your risk management rules. An exit can be considered on a fixed target, a trailing stop, or when an opposing signal appears.
4. Settings and Customization

Price Source: The data source for momentum calculation (default close).
Trend Filter MA Type & Length: Define your long-term trend.
Filter by MA Slope: A key feature. If ON, allows for "buy the dip" entries below a rising MA. If OFF, it's stricter, requiring price to be above the MA.
ADX Length & Threshold: Filters out non-trending, choppy markets. Signals will not fire if the ADX is below this threshold.
