LordPepe Stochastic SignalsThis is the Lord Pepe. Howdy. Basic buy/sell indicator to accumulate along a downtrend and release your stack during the uptrend and oversold levels of the stochastic. The buys should be used to stack, and sells indicate levels of profit taking, they do not signal a long term reversal, only < 25% of stack should be released on "OB" signals.
OB - overbought (sell)
OS - oversold (buy)

[FTA] Double Responsive Price FilterThis is a very special indicator which uses a series of double filtering methods to filter out bad price data.
Each filter uses a very complex mathematical formula to obtain the data, based on the Wave Function, then applies initial signal filtering on the output.
The output of each filter is then compared to each other, and the output of this stage goes through another signal filtering process which is used in aviation industry (NASA) to track objects and keep them under radar!
The final output is then squeezed through a truncated bandpass filter and plotted as two colors.
This is to ensure a very quick and responsive entry and exit signal without any lagging, and also to ensure that the trader stays in the trade as long as profitable!
Buy when color is aqua.
Sell when color is fuchsia.
SmoothOps v1 - StudyThe purpose of this script was to fine tune an indicator on BTCUSDT . I think the results speak for themselves in the study version.
This is a script that uses the MACD to predict future price movement. The original MACD signal lags too much for my taste so I went searching for something that could give signals sooner. I decided a smooth macd would help filter out noise and grabbing the highest values and lowest values over the past number of bars. I spent several days backtesting different settings and combinations of signals to arrive at what you see now. This strategy has been fine tuned for BTC /USDT on Binance, so I suggest you only use it for that. Any other coin/pair and exchange will need a new backtest since the data will be different. This is not a generalized indicator like everything else. It's specifically good at one thing: prediction BTCUSDT on Binance.
I wanted to also add the histogram from the study version but there wasn't a good way to do that, so I came up with a visual solution using color transitions on the 168sma. When the color changes from blue to red it means the histogram is reversing.
I added forecasting to the moving averages to help people predict future movement so they can make decisions by something other than just a sign of when to buy/sell.
There is a transition prediction feature that blurs the macd signal to show when a reversal may occur before it happens.
I also added precitions into the indicator that show when there may be a possible bounce or major move because of a current squeeze in the moving averages.
And finally...
My biggest issue with indicators that other people sell is that they become visually deceptive when using supports and buy/sell signs. I came up with a solution that shows you exactly if you made profits during the trade or not. Hopefully this will inspire others to do something similar.
How to use:
Use only on BTCUSDT Binance.
Set the preset to the timeframe you want. I HIGHLY suggest only using the 1h timeframe. It gives the best profit over time.
Set the preset to custom if you want to try using your own settings.
You can change the source input if you want. ohlc4 usually works best for 1h.
Adjust the moving averages to your liking. You can also toggle the checkbox to completely remove them.
Turn on/off the forecasting of the moving averages.
Turn on/off the additional signals with the checkbox.
Transition prediction uses a blur variable to signal when the macd might be slowing down and reversing.
Bounce prediction and sensitivity tries to find possible reversal areas when price falls too fast or hits a specific moving average.
Macro signals just tries to show when price is above the 168moving average to get the macro trend.
Squeeze prediction indicates when a possible strong move may occur. Could go up or down though.
Show profit is my favorite part because it shows if you made profit during the last trade visually and non deceptively.
Relative Volume at Time█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates relative volume, which is the ratio of present volume over an average of past volume.
It offers two calculation modes, both using a time reference as an anchor.
█ CONCEPTS
Calculation modes
The simplest way to calculate relative volume is by using the ratio of a bar's volume over a simple moving average of the last n volume values.
This indicator uses one of two, more subtle ways to calculate both values of the relative volume ratio: current volume:past volume .
The two calculations modes are:
1 — Cumulate from Beginning of TF to Current Bar where:
current volume = the cumulative volume since the beginning of the timeframe unit, and
past volume = the mean of volume during that same relative period of time in the past n timeframe units.
2 — Point-to-Point Bars at Same Offset from Beginning of TF where:
current volume = the volume on a single chart bar, and
past volume = the mean of volume values from that same relative bar in time from the past n timeframe units.
Timeframe units
Timeframe units can be defined in three different ways:
1 — Using Auto-steps, where the timeframe unit automatically adjusts to the timeframe used on the chart:
— A 1 min timeframe unit will be used on 1sec charts,
— 1H will be used for charts at 1min and less,
— 1D will be used for other intraday chart timeframes,
— 1W will be used for 1D charts,
— 1M will be used for charts at less than 1M,
— 1Y will be used for charts at greater or equal than 1M.
2 — As a fixed timeframe that you define.
3 — By time of day (for intraday chart timeframes only), which you also define. If you use non-intraday chart timeframes in this mode, the indicator will switch to Auto-steps.
Relative Relativity
A relative volume value of 1.0 indicates that current volume is equal to the mean of past volume , but how can we determine what constitutes a high relative volume value?
The traditional way is to settle for an arbitrary threshold, with 2.0 often used to indicate that relative volume is worthy of attention.
We wanted to provide traders with a contextual method of calculating threshold values, so in addition to the conventional fixed threshold value,
this indicator includes two methods of calculating a threshold channel on past relative volume values:
1 — Using the standard deviation of relative volume over a fixed lookback.
2 — Using the highs/lows of relative volume over a variable lookback.
Channels calculated on relative volume provide meta-relativity, if you will, as they are relative values of relative volume.
█ FEATURES
Controls in the "Display" section of inputs determine what is visible in the indicator's pane. The next "Settings" section is where you configure the parameters used in the calculations. The "Column Coloring Conditions" section controls the color of the columns, which you will see in three of the five display modes available. Whether columns are plotted or not, the coloring conditions also determine when markers appear, if you have chosen to show the markers in the "Display" section. The presence of markers is what triggers the alerts configured on this indicator. Finally, the "Colors" section of inputs allows you to control the color of the indicator's visual components.
Display
Five display modes are available:
• Current Volume Columns : shows columns of current volume , with past volume displayed as an outlined column.
• Relative Volume Columns : shows relative volume as a column.
• Relative Volume Columns With Average : shows relative volume as a column, with the average of relative volume.
• Directional Relative Volume Average : shows a line calculated using the average of +/- values of relative volume.
The positive value of relative volume is used on up bars; its negative value on down bars.
• Relative Volume Average : shows the average of relative volume.
A Hull moving average is used to calculate the average used in the three last display modes.
You can also control the display of:
• The value or relative volume, when in the first three display modes. Only the last 500 values will be shown.
• Timeframe transitions, shown in the background.
• A reminder of the active timeframe unit, which appears to the right of the indicator's last bar.
• The threshold used, which can be a fixed value or a channel, as determined in the next "Settings" section of inputs.
• Up/Down markers, which appear on transitions of the color of the volume columns (determined by coloring conditions), which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
• Conditions of high volatility.
Settings
Use this section of inputs to change:
• Calculation mode : this is where you select one of this indicator's two calculation modes for current volume and past volume , as explained in the "Concepts" section.
• Past Volume Lookback in TF units : the quantity of timeframe units used in the calculation of past volume .
• Define Timeframes Units Using : the mode used to determine what one timeframe unit is. Note that when using a fixed timeframe, it must be higher than the chart's timeframe.
Also, note that time of day timeframe units only work on intraday chart timeframes.
• Threshold Mode : Five different modes can be selected:
— Fixed Value : You can define the value using the "Fixed Threshold" field below. The default value is 2.0.
— Standard Deviation Channel From Fixed Lookback : This is a channel calculated using the simple moving average of relative volume
(so not the Hull moving average used elsewhere in the indicator), plus/minus the standard deviation multiplied by a user-defined factor.
The lookback used is the value of the "Channel Lookback" field. Its default is 100.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of TF : in this mode, the High/Low values reset at the beginning of each timeframe unit.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of Past Volume Lookback : in this mode, the High/Low values start from the farthest point back where we are calculating past volume ,
which is determined by the combination of timeframe units and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value.
— High/Low Channel From Fixed Lookback : In this mode the lookback is fixed. You can define the value using the "Channel Lookback" field. The default value is 100.
• Period of RelVol Moving Average : the period of the Hull moving average used in the "Directional Relative Volume Average" and the "Relative Volume Average".
• High Volatility is defined using fast and slow ATR periods, so this represents the volatility of price.
Volatility is considered to be high when the fast ATR value is greater than its slow value. Volatility can be used as a filter in the column coloring conditions.
Column Coloring Conditions
• Eight different conditions can be turned on or off to determine the color of the volume columns. All "ON" conditions must be met to determine a high/low state of relative volume,
or, in the case of directional relative volume, a bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a high/low state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
• Transitions of the color of the volume columns determined by coloring conditions are used to plot the up/down markers, which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on light or dark chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever an up/down marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display settings for up/down markers when you create the alert will determine which conditions trigger the alert.
After alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect existing alerts.
• By configuring the script's inputs in different ways before you create your alerts, you can create multiple, functionally distinct alerts from this script.
When creating multiple alerts, it is useful to include in the alert's message a reminder of the particular conditions you used for each alert.
• As is usually the case, alerts triggering "Once Per Bar Close" will prevent repainting.
Error messages
Error messages will appear at the end of the chart upon the following conditions:
• When the combination of the timeframe units used and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value create a lookback that is greater than 5000 bars.
The lookback will then be recalculated to a value such that a runtime error does not occur.
• If the chart's timeframe is higher than the timeframe units. This error cannot occur when using Auto-steps to calculate timeframe units.
• If relative volume cannot be calculated, for example, when no volume data is available for the chart's symbol.
• When the threshold of relative volume is configured to be visible but the indicator's scale does not allow it to be visible (in "Current Volume Columns" display mode).
█ NOTES
For traders
The chart shown here uses the following display modes: "Current Volume Columns", "Relative Volume Columns With Average", "Directional Relative Volume Average" and "Relative Volume Average". The last one also shows the threshold channel in standard deviation mode, and the TF Unit reminder to the right, in red.
Volume, like price, is a value with a market-dependent scale. The only valid reference for volume being its past values, any improvement in the way past volume is calculated thus represents a potential opportunity to traders. Relative volume calculated as it is here can help traders extract useful information from markets in many circumstances, markets with cyclical volume such as Forex being one, obvious case. The relative nature of the values calculated by this indicator also make it a natural fit for cross-market and cross-sector analysis, or to identify behavioral changes in the different futures contracts of the same market. Relative volume can also be put to more exotic uses, such as in evaluating changes in the popularity of exchanges.
Relative volume alone has no directional bias. While higher relative volume values always indicate higher trading activity, that activity does not necessarily translate into significant price movement. In a tightly fought battle between buyers and sellers, you could theoretically have very large volume for many bars, with no change whatsoever in bid/ask prices. This of course, is unlikely to happen in reality, and so traders are justified in considering high relative volume values as indicating periods where more attention is required, because imbalances in the strength of buying/selling power during high-volume trading periods can amplify price variations, providing traders with the generally useful gift of volatility.
Be sure to give the "Directional Relative Volume Average" a try. Contrary to the always-positive ratio widely used in this indicator, the "Directional Relative Volume Average" produces a value able to determine a bullish/bearish bias for relative volume.
Note that realtime bars must be complete for the relative volume value to be confirmed. Values calculated on historical or elapsed realtime bars will not recalculate unless historical volume data changes.
Finally, as with all indicators using volume information, keep in mind that some exchanges/brokers supply different feeds for intraday and daily data, and the volume data on both feeds can sometimes vary quite a bit.

Multi Time Frame Trend, Volume and Momentum ProfileWHAT DOES THIS INDICATOR DO?
I created this indicator to address some of the significant inconveniences when analyzing a security, such as continually switching between different time frames to determine the trend and potential pullbacks, adding volume or volume-derived indicators, and finally, something that would help me determine the strength of the trend (maybe two additional indicators here). So I decided to code this all-in-one indicator that you can add multiple times to your chart depending on the settings you want to use, or just optimize the parameters for the particular asset and then switch between the options.
As the name suggests, it consists of three main sections - Trend , Volume , and Momentum . You have complete control over the parameters, including the Time Frames you want to use for each one (they can be different). So, let me explain each section in more detail.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Trend Settings
In order to determine the trend, you need to set up two Moving Averages. You have a wide choice here - SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, VWMA, and ALMA. Since the indicator does not plot the moving averages on the chart, I strongly suggest using this indicator along with the free "Trend Indicator for Directional Trading(main)" , which you can find in the Public Library. Once you set up the Trend Resolution, the Types of MAs, and their lengths, the indicator will generate a histogram of their convergences and divergences.
The change in colors should help you more easily determine the trend:
a) Bright Green - bull trend and price trending up (a good place to open long)
b) Dark Green - bull trend and price trending down (stay flat or open a long position with great caution)
c) Bright Red - bear trend and price trending down (a good place to open short)
d) Dark Red - bear trend and price trending up (stay flat or open a short position with great caution)
e) In addition, you can change the color palette to reflect the bull/bear trend momentum by scrolling to the bottom and selecting "Color Based on Bull/Bear Momentum", but I will discuss this in more detail below.
This part of the indicator is useful for opening a trade in the direction of the trend or for spotting a potential divergence. Both cases are illustrated below.
2. Volume Settings
The calculations for this part of the indicator are partially taken from "Multi Time Frame Effective Volume Profile" . I will quickly outline the specifics here, but if you want a more thorough understanding of how it works, please check the description of the MTF Effective Volume Profile indicator .
You have three elements with the following default settings - Resolution (5-min), Lookback (100), and Average (1). This means that the indicator will analyze the last one hundred 5-min bars and will plot a sum of only those that are at least 1 times bigger than the average. Those that are smaller than the average will be left out from the calculation. What you get is a trend line showing you accumulation/distribution based on modified volume parameters.
This part of the indicator is useful for spotting exhaustions and increased buying/selling volume that is opposite to the price trend. As you will see in the picture below, in frame 1 the selling pressure is decreasing, while buying volume is increasing. At one point supply dries out and the bulls take control, thus reverting the price. In frame 2, however, you can see that the higher high is not met with nearly as much buying volume as in the previous peak, showing that the bulls are exhausted and maybe a trend change will follow or at the very least that the bull trend will take a break.
3. Momentum Settings
The final part is an RSI smoothed through a Moving Average with the addition of some minor optimizations. Thus, the parameters you have to configure here aside from the resolution are the RSI length, the moving average that will be used, and its length. Out of the three, this is the most lagging component, but it's also the most accurate one. I must mention that due to the modified nature of this RSI, overbought and oversold levels carry less weight to the trading signals. Rather, pay attention to the change of colors, as they do so when the RSI changes direction based on preset parameters. The picture below shows such instances.
4. Additional Settings
This section consists of 4 elements:
a) Length of Trend - filters out the noise and gives a signal only when the trend becomes more established
b) ADX Threshold - filters out trading ranges and indecision zones when it's not recommended to open a trade
c) Select Analysis - choose what part of the indicator you want to see from a drop-down menu
d) Color Based on Bull/Bear Momentum - a global setting that will override the preset coloring of each indicator and will replace it with colors based on bull/bear strength and momentum - green for bulls, red for bears, and gray for non-trading zones.
The last part of this indicator is a combination of all of the above and is called a Points-Based System . It generates 3 rows of dots that go light green when bull criteria are met, orange when bear criteria are met, or gray when it's neither of the two. When you get a column of 3 green dots you get a buy signal. Similarly, a column of 3 orange dots gives you a sell signal. Grey zones are non-tradeable. It goes without saying that the frequency and quality of the signals you get will almost entirely depend on your settings, so feel free to experiment and adjust the indicator to catch the best moves for the given security.
In terms of indicator adjustments, I have left almost every part open to configuration. That is 15 parameters and 35 adjustable colors.
HOW MUCH DOES THE INDICATOR COST ?
As much as I would like to offer it for free (as some of my other ones), a great deal of work, trading logic, and testing have gone into creating this indicator. More than a few hundred iterations and a few dozen branches were required to reach the end result which is a precise combination of usefulness, simplicity, and practicality. Furthermore, this indicator will continue to be updated and user-requested features that improve its performance will be added.
Disclaimer: The purpose of all indicators is to indicate potential setups, which may lead to profitable results. No indicator is perfect and certainly, no indicator has a 100% success rate. They are subject to flaws, wrongful interpretation, bugs, etc. This indicator makes no exception. It must be used with a sound money management plan that puts the main emphasis on protecting your capital. Please, do not rely solely on any single indicator to make trading decisions instead of you. Indicators are storytellers, not fortune tellers. They help you see the bigger picture, not the future.

Usage is simple: Green Background is Long and Red Background is Short positions.
LE = Long Entry
LX = Long Exit
SE = Short Entry
SX = Short Exit
This is not a trade recommendation, rather informative signals, and please do your due diligence. Thanks!
Escaping of Rate from Avarage By Mustafa OZVEREscaping of Rate from Average By Mustafa OZVER
This code shows a location of a rate or price (or etc.) from the average, rated by the standard deviation.
To show that, calculates the ema and standard deviation of our data then calculates the distance between ema and the current data by the standard deviation.
In summary, we can say that this value is the current distance by the long term standard deviation.
This value is between +1 and -1 because we expect the absolute value of the standard distance does not get far from the long term standard deviation.
For scalping, we can use this value as
buy signal when the value is below -1,
sell signal when the value is above +1,
But only this value can not guarantee good results for trading. BE CAREFUL
Gregoire Channel WidthThis indicator goes with the Gregoire Channel (not shown). It measures the distance from an edge to the middle of the channel.
This serves two purposes:
1) Volatility adjusted position sizing
2) Options buying/selling
-----------------
The formula for volatility adjusted position size is: (account value * risk) / (GC Width / Entry price).
For example, let's say we have a $15,000 account size and want to risk 2% on a TQQQ trade. The GC Width is $8.77 and entry is $167.59.
That gives us a position size of: (15,000 * 0.02) / (8.77 / 167.59) = $5,732.84. Our stop would be around the middle of the channel, in this case.
We use this so we avoid getting blown out in fast-moving markets, yet still make enough for slow moving markets. Too much risk destroys accounts!
-----------------
The green and red colors indicate areas to buy and sell options. RED = sell options, GREEN = buy options.
Options are priced according to volatility. We want to buy them when volatility is low, and sell them when volatility is high. These can also be used as take-profit areas: we buy options on the green and close for profit on the red areas, etc.
VF Indicator - VSA tradeIn order to see inside the market, and what the insiders and market makers are doing, we have one tool at our disposal which reveals their activity instantly, and that tool is VOLUME . Volume is the catalyst which when combined with price, provides the foundation stone that is volume price analysis. Base on this concept, Volume Flow Indicator been create. Volume Flow Indicator is an indicator to track buy/sell volume relative to price movement.
Volume Flow Indicator is builds on 2 line, Volume Line and Price line.
1. When Price Line trade below Volume Line, VF will turn RED – Trigger SELL
2. When Price Line trade above Volume Line, VF will turn GREEN – Trigger BUY
The 2 Line move direction also will show the weakness or strength of the background of the chart. When both line moving down, the rebound will likely end up a trap and price will continues move lower.
Price moving sideways - When VF pointing downwards it mean distribution and when VF start to turn Green, it mean end of accumulation.
VF best work when stock price is in pullback. Pullback buying climax occurs when the market makers wish to restock their empty warehouse, and here the trigger is fear of a loss. The market is generally moved fast into a price fall, usually on news, with investors then selling in panic, and with the market makers then stepping in to buy & stop the stock falling further, once buying is complete (Pullback completed) price action begins. VF will trigger buy ( Green Dot ) when the pullback is completed and in continues in Green zone when price continues moving up. However if pullback fail to rebound, VF will turn sell (Red Dot).
Wyckoff’s second law then introduces the concept of time as enshrined in the law of cause and effect. Here the law states that if the cause is large then the effect should also be large if the two are in agreement. In other words, if the time taken to build the next phase of a campaign by the market makers is large, then we should expect to see this reflected in an extended move in the price action as a result.
You can think of this as the effect of winding the spring of a clockwork toy. The more the spring are wound, the greater the energy stored, and the greater the distance the car will travel, once it is released. This is the basic principle of cause and effect.
VF indicator will show this in the area between Volume Line and Price Line. More thicker the Green Zone or Red Zone will show how much the Bullish momentum or Bearish momentum.
Volume reveals the truth behind price action, with VF indicator both volume and price can be easily monitor along the chart real time.
PT Trend BarsVersion 1.0 of our Trend Bars Indicator offers a visual of the current trend. The purpose of it is to help you avoid counter trading the trend. It will not identify the exact top or bottom, but it will help you identify overall in which direction the market wants to head. High time frame trend bar candles will allow you to ride the wave for multiple weeks.
White candles indicate bullish trend
Black candles indicate bearish trend
Strategy:
Daily is our favorite time frame to use when trying to identify the overall macro trend of the asset. Once we cross bull with three consecutive white candles, we can assume we are bullish until the candles flip bear again (black). On lower time frame, if the candles flip color but the price is going against trend, you can assume we are going for a retest.
This Oscillator is best used with the PT Buy Sell indicators we provide. It offers extra confluence for a stop loss & for a target for swing setups. It is included as part of the library. Just message us for access!
Jackrabbit.modulus.JRlingThis is the standalone version of JRling, with the full capability of the modulus framework. JRling is a strategic blend of moving averages, multiple RSI , multiple Stochastics, Bollinger Bands , and Williams %R .
The number of confirming buys and sells can be selected from the settings menu. This module supports full confirmation bias/crossover and differential timeframe analysis.
The Jackrabbit modulus framework is a plug in play paradigm built to operate through TradingView's indicator on indicatior (IoI) functionality. As such, this script receives a signal line from the previous script in the IoI chain, and evaluates the buy/sell signals appropriate to the current analysis.

[astropark] Nova BandsDear followers,
today a new analysis and scalping tool for day trading on low timeframes (5-15 minutes) or to plan swing trades on hourly timeframes. It can be used also on high timeframes just for analysis current market trend.
The indicator plots a series of levels which create a nice bands flow.
The slope of levels make you easily understand when price is in consolidation, in uptrend or in downtrend.
The golden rule is always the same: buy low and sell high .
This indicator plots:
3 "price is low here" levels (from dark green to light green)
3 "price is average here" levels
3 "price is high here" levels (from purple to orange)
When bands are flat, price is in consolidation and this is best condition to trade with nova bands.
When price reaches higher bands, you will open a short position with targets below levels, fully closing your position when price hits the average level (black).
Here an example on Bitcoin on 15m using 1h resolution:
The same applies when price reaches lower bands, you will open a long position with targets above levels, fully closing your position when price hits the average level (black).
When bands get nearer and nearer is called "Bands Squeeze": price is next to a main breakout move, volatility is coming!
Here an example of SPX500: after long consolidation and bands getting nearer and neared, we had the breakout, downwards in this case.
In this screenshot you can see what signals algorithm provided:
Our suggestion is to play safe these kind of scenarios, no reason to FOMO buy/sell. Just wait for price consolidation / getting back inside the bands.
For example you would have skip first three buy signals, while you would have longed the last two as price came back inside bands after the big volatility which made price went below bands.
Another example is TSLA stock on 15m with 1h resolution:
Price touched the first bullish level and made a big move upwards, breaking bands with a +90% move.
In this case, you would have skipper first 2 sell signals, while you would have accepted next two with stoploss above recent high.
Acceptable also the other two sell signals, which you may have closed when price retraced to lower levels:
You can of course run trends like this buying on price hitting bullish/lower levels after a long consolidation and sell on price hitting middle and higher levels:
A trader who wants to be a winner must understand that money and risk management are very important, so manage your position size and always have a stop loss in your trades.
Here some examples how the indicator works on different markets:
EURUSD 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution
GOLD (XAUUSD) 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution
Facebook (FB) 15m with standard settings and 1h resolution

RSI, CCI WaveTrend God by Keiron RichieThis script uses Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) and WaveTrend (WT) together as an oscillator with an additional custom RSI rate of change indicator and buy/sell background color zones derived from a complex combination of these indicators.
The White line shows the moving average of RSI as an oscillator
The Green line is the fast Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) of CCI & the Red line is the slow EMA of CCI .
The Blue area is the EMA of WaveTrend WT
How to read:
If the RSI , CCI or WT crosses above a programmed threshold and the other lines are also within a pre-defined buy range then the background will change to green for buy.
If the RSI , CCI or WT crosses below a programmed threshold and the other lines are also within a pre-defined sell range then the background will change to red for sell.
Where requirements are not met, the background is neither green nor red.
There are also red and green indicator x’s at the top/bottom of the indicator. They show a drastic change in Relative strength within a short period. This often indicates an immediate buy or sell opportunity.
Buy, Sell, Exit Buy and Exit Sell alerts are included.

-Multi-timeframe Trendline that tells you the true trend of the current market based on volume. (Only works in markets with available volume information flows). It can change from green (for an uptrend) or red (downtrend) color.
To place an alert, always choose the "Once per bar" option.
You can place alerts on the following options:
-GO Buy / GO Sell (ATR).
-VPT Buy / Sell.
-PSAR (Up / Down).
-Divergences (Bullish / Bearish).
-Crossing of moving averages 1 and 2.
-Fibonacci key levels (0.382, 0.5 and 0.618) for Crossunder and Crossover in an uptrend or downtrend.
You can choose to show or hide from the chart all the options mentioned above.
Never follow buy or sell signals stupidly. Always watch that all the indicators are going in the same direction, that you are not in a range zone, that there is no resistance etc ...
Always wait for confirmation after a buy or sell alert before entering a position to make sure the label stays on the chart and doesn't disappear.

RedK_AvgMoneyFlow Oscillator v1This is a compact & simple study that tracks the short-term average price change and the (average) volume associated with it, to generate a very clear signal when a change of buying/selling flow is detected. these buy/sell cycles can happen within a longer "demand / trend-up" or "supply / trend down" phases as we know.
this concept is a bit different from MFI or CMF. The math we use here is simpler, and more "relative" and short-term focused, deliberately.
how does it work
===============
once the average price change and the average volumes are calculated for the specified length, we then turn that into a +100/-100 oscillator format - using the stoch() function - which helps to generate a clearly identifiable unambiguous signal (crossing the zero line up or down) that help traders (mainly with entries)
-- the stoch() function also makes the oscillator "relative" to the specified period length, meaning, we can be in a uptrend (demand mode) and the MFO is showing flow "out" (negative) - that's specific to the short-term period - and that's exactly what i was trying to see
- the thinking here is that the best spot to go long is when the existing selling has been depleted and no more supply exists (during an uptrend), and vice verca.
- other stuff: i use WMA() throughout the script -- and we apply a smoothing for the final plot. keep smoothing to a minimum to avoid unnecessary lag in the signals
- the signal should be considered *after* a bar is fully closed.
Suggested Use
==============
i suggest you use this in combination with other indicators that can show the overall short-term and long-term bias (for example, i use the Ribbon here for that) - and take only entry signals in the same direction - a signal to go long, for example, would be when the bias / trend is up *and* the MFO crosses the zero line *going up* .. you may need to wait for that setup to show before you hit the trigger.
another benefit here, is that MFO will also detect strengths and weaknesses - when we see diversion with price movement. this shows couple of times in the example below
Please Note
============
i do not do short-term trading / scalping - those who do, i hope may find this useful - if you decide to use it and you do find it useful, please post feedback here for the common learning
Good luck!
GA - Trend WavesIntroduction
GA - Trend Waves (GA Waves) is a Trend Productivity Tool.
Its main purpose is to follow the trend for its entire duration, marking trend variations.
Besides, it highlights Buying and Selling Waves, and Wave Segments.
GA Waves plots the beginning of Buying and Selling Waves, including Wave Segments. It can favor the Main Trend or the Buying-Selling Wave.
This means that the Algorithm can highlight Waves Segments favoring the trend continuation. In the same way, it can highlight Wave Segments riding any wave for its entire duration.
The core of the tool is a set of mathematical functions that discretize the market behavior. These functions define the trend progression and its variations. They discretize buying-selling waves and their wave segments, for short-term and long-term tracking.
As well, the Algorithm includes the strengthens and weakness in the Bullish-Bearish Momentum.
By default, GA Trend Waves shows a colored envelope. It is around a particular curve that discretizes the main trend.
This curve is the Underlying Trend. It is not slow and it follows the trend changes with a high accuracy. The curve is green when the trend is bullish. Instead, the red color marks the curve when the trend is bearish.
The envelope around the underlying trend curve is a control tool. It has 2 important uses:
1 - It defines volatility boundaries on the Underlying Trend. The Algorithm uses these boundaries to reduce the uncertainty.
2 - It shows green and red areas highlighting Buying and Selling Waves in the trend.
Together with the Underlying Trend there is the Overlying Trend. By default, it is not visible on the chart. But it colors the price line.
The Overlying Trend is a short-term curve. It is very fast. The Algorithm uses this curve to define Wave Segments.
The Overlying Trend follows the segmentation of a buying-selling wave with high accuracy.
This accuracy is possible because each curve formula includes weighted moving averages. Each formula uses a recursive application of weighted moving averages.
Overlying and Underlying Trend takes advantages from the calculation of weighted moving averages. The advantage is the high precision even with a very short period.
Then, Overlaying and Underlying Trends are fast curves. They fit at the best their respective trend variations.
The Overlying Trend and the Underlying Trend with its envelope are Stochastic Series.
GA Trend Waves itself does not trigger an entry or an exit. But its indications highlight beginning, continuation, and ending of Buying-Selling Waves. This happens considering also the Trend Momentum and the Price Extension.
Buying-Selling Wave IN Points are the discretization of the trend variations. They show how Accumulation-Distribution Points sustain a Bullish or a Bearish Trend. These particular points mark the beginning of the new wave. In the same way, they show also the ending of the previous wave.
Buying-Selling Wave Segments are discretization of the wave variations. They show strength and weakness of the wave, changing the price line color by green or red. Besides, the Algorithm highlights Wave Segments that favor the continuation of the wave.
The user can choose to plot indications of Buying-Selling Wave Segments in 2 ways:
1 - Following the Trend Momentum.
2 - Following the Buying-Selling Wave.
For a fast trading, the user can get advantage from the opportunities that the wave can offer. But for the purpose to follow the trend, the user can ride waves, according to the trend direction.
The Overlying Trend discretize the Wave Segments, from the beginning to the end of the Wave. Instead, the Underlying Trend discretize the Bullish-Bearish Trend and its momentum.

Important Note
The GA Trend Waves purpose is to understand the nature of trend activity. If there is no trend, it would not be useful.
But GA Waves is an adaptive tool. It can work following Buying Waves and Selling Waves in the development of a Trading Area. Then, if the trading area is large enough, in relation to the contest, it can show relevant wave segments.
In any case, Traders should not attempt to make it work in conditions to which it does not work at the best. In this condition, the experience of the trader is the most valuable tool.
I restrict access to the tool. Use the links in my signature field to gain access to the script. Feel free to send me a PM for any question.

Buying-Selling Wave IN Point
GA Waves Algorithm uses a stochastic process to determinate Buying-Selling Wave IN Points. This function has a fast reaction to the trend waves. This is possible because it considers acceleration and deceleration in cyclical time patterns.
The stochastic series returns the beginning of each new wave. But the beginning of a wave is also the ending of the previous wave. Then, following a buying-selling wave, usable for trading, it shows when to exit the market.
Instead, enter the market depends on the wave conditions. Then, the Buying-Selling Wave IN Point is not enough to decide to enter the market. More parameters are necessary.
Bullish-Bearish Wave Segments
The beginning of a Wave Segment highlights the continuation of the wave. The Overlying Trend discretizes the Wave Segmentation. The Algorithm plots the wave segments on the price line. This happens coloring the curve with green or red.
GA Waves highlights the beginning of a Wave Segment according to specific conditions. The visible result is the plotting of relevant points in the chart to show the continuation of the wave. If the Price Extension is too big, the Algorithm skips to plot the wave segments that carries high risk.
Overlying and Underlying Trend Changes and Confirmation
GA Waves highlights changes of the trend using Line, Line Break, Step Line, Circles, and Crosses. The use of Line, Line Break, Step Line, and so on, marks the turning points. In particular, the Underlying Trend confirms the change of the Trend. This changing becomes useful to decide the type of investment to do and pyramiding.

LuxAlgo® - Oscillator Matrix™Oscillator Matrix™ is an all-in-one indicator that incorporates 6+ unique components designed for interoperability & confluence with one another to provide a powerful trend following & reversal detection experience.
Users can create various ways to utilize the indicator's features together such as looking for excess money flowing into the market alongside strong reversal signals appearing or getting real-time divergence signals alongside a lack of money flowing into the market to predict upcoming trends.
This indicator is described as an 'Oscillator Matrix' as it's made up of many different components that can create a systematic approach to analyzing markets alone, however, the indicator also can serve as a great secondary piece to a user's primary analysis with or without our other LuxAlgo Premium indicators.
🔶 FEATURES
Below we describe each component of Oscillator Matrix™ in order of each's significance for the most confluent analysis possible.
Money Flow - Easily see the amount of buying or selling liquidity entering the market by analyzing the green & red waves and how they react with their thresholds to achieve further insight. Best to analyze first before considering any signals the indicator can generate.
Thresholds - Dynamic levels that align above/below the Money Flow to show at which level significant buying or selling is actually taking place.
Overflow - Small lighter waves that occur within the Money Flow's display when excess buying or selling activity is occurring to accurately predict upcoming reversals.
Hyper Wave - An oscillator ribbon in green/grey that provides highly reactive trend following signals & powerful divergence detection.
Real-Time Divergences - Real-time divergence labels that appear on the Hyper Wave oscillator's adaptive ribbon. A highly effective approach to a concept that's not typically done for oscillators. Users can also increase the sensitivity of divergences within the settings.
Reversal Signals - Small dots on the upper or lower boundaries represent high frequency points that indicate possible reversals or a warning signal to upcoming larger reversal signals which are indicated separately by the large triangular arrows on the top & bottom of the indicator's panel.
Confluence Zones - Allows the Money Flow & Hyper Wave oscillator to be used together to display easily interpretable shades of bullish & bearish activity. Brighter, more vibrant colors indicate strong bullish or bearish confluence between these 2 features.
Confluence Meter - An optional display at the current bar to easily find the current level of confluence between all features within Oscillator Matrix™ indicated by the arrow pointing to bullish or bearish levels. (Disabled by default)
Generally, we recommend using these features in order from first to last, whereas analyzing components of the Smart Money Flow category prior to considering other features in your analysis is most productive to ensure you find proper confluence alongside any signal that is generated.
🔶 USAGE
In the image below, we can see 5 points of interest to a user analyzing Oscillator Matrix™ based on various different behaviors.
Point 1 : Here we can see a large reversal signal arrow at the bottom of the panel. These signals, like all signals in LuxAlgo Premium & any indicator in general are not meant to be used as buy/sell signals themselves.
What makes this signal particularly more of interest opposed to other reversal signals that may not play out right away is the Money Flow that corresponding as weak. We can tell the Money Flow is weak because it is not near the red threshold level.
This indicates to us that there is not real selling pressure occurring and that the market could easily reverse in these conditions.
Point 2 : In this specific area we can notice the Money Flow in green is moving upwards alongside the green threshold level. This combination indicates a high probability there is a lot of real buying volume coming into the market, opposed to the previous example (point 1) where the Money Flow was not near the threshold level.
We can also notice the Hyper Wave Oscillator is printing a green dot while above the 50 value on Oscillator Matrix™ panel, further indicating a likely bullish impulse to come.
Point 3 : There are multiple indications here showing us the market may potentially be reversing. The most notable being the larger red reversal arrow, however, as we mentioned previously these cannot be used by themselves.
A further indication is that on the Money Flow we can see Overflow has occurred by the lighter small wave that has appeared & is now turning downwards. This indicates that an excess of buyers have come into the market & are likely to be washed out with a move to the downside.
We can see this happen once again about 8 candles later paired with a high frequency reversal signal (red dot) which marked a local high before the larger impulse down.
Point 4 : You can notice during the recent 25 or so candles the high frequency reversal points (green & red dots) have been highly effective for indicating potential local highs & lows in real-time.
There was a previous real-time bullish divergence detected while Money Flow was strongly in the red and this did indicate a small move upwards, however, with the Money Flow still holding in the red, another high frequency reversal dot, and then as the Money Flow begins to decrease further, we see a clean local top detected here at point 4.
Point 5 : As the lower Confluence Zone moved into the bright red, we saw a large move to the downside and a large bullish reversal signal printed in real-time as well.
Just like point 1, we have a very clear indication the selling has stopped as we further analyze the Money Flow is nowhere near it's true Activity Line.
This analysis combined gave us a further indication of a larger reversal which played out with no lag at all as all reversal signals are fully predictive separate from the Hyper Wave oscillator itself, which can be used as a further trend following approach alongside signals & money flow.
🔶 NAVIGATING MARKET CONDITIONS
In the image above we can see another example with 6 new points of interest marked in green & red shaded areas, all accompanied by a list of possible interpretations of the indicator.
The importance of this usage example is to demonstrate the ability to focus on certain components of the indicator during specific market conditions. For any indicator attempting to catch reversals, trending market conditions will be a detriment to its usability.
The same amount of the components within Oscillator Matrix™ will support trending market conditions as there are components to support ranging market conditions. The indicator further aims to provide clear abilities to detect when the market is likely trending or ranging.
With an understanding of the components within the Smart Money Flow section particularly such as the Overflow & Thresholds, it's possible to develop a more significant understanding of when to consider the market is trending vs when to consider the market may be ranging.
By doing this, we can potentially determine at certain points when to 'filter out' reversal signals or to just consider them merely indications of local tops/bottoms opposed to significant tops/bottoms.
Analyzing a significant Overflow particularly is useful to consider a trend potentially coming to an end. For example, at point 5 in the image above we had a clear downtrend only until there was a very considerable amount of Overflow that begun a real reversal.
We recommend studying the outlined chart above & the list of indications at each shaded area to develop a deep understanding of how to navigate varying market conditions & spot various points of confluence during reversals.
🔶 CONCLUSION & ACCESS
This indicator is an extremely comprehensive approach to an oscillator that allows users to further develop a systematic approach to trading and can be paired great alongside other forms of technical analysis such as our LuxAlgo Signals & Overlays indicator.
Although we believe this indicator to be useful, it's critical to understand that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and there are many more factors that go into being a profitable trader.

Panic Buy-/SelldaysEnglish:
The Panic Dashboard is calculated on the NYSE Down Volume divided by the NYSE total Volume. A value above 0,90 shows there are extremly more downvolume than upvolume and a value below 0,15 shows a extreme bullish volume. This can work as a turning point in price. You can see there are many times signals from this indicator shown exactly the turning points in the S&P 500. Sometimes there are many opposite signals in a row. To clear this I always use several indicators and dont trade only because of one signal. If you combine these indicator e.g. with my Stress Dashboard or Vola Dashboard you have an much clearer picture of what's going on in the market.
Deutsch:
Das Panic Dashboard wird anhand des NYSE-Down-Volumens geteilt durch das NYSE-Gesamtvolumen berechnet. Ein Wert über 0,90 zeigt, dass extrem viel mehr Abwärtsvolumen als Aufwärtsvolumen vorhanden ist, und ein Wert unter 0,15 zeigt ein extrem bullisches Volumen. Dies kann als Wendepunkt im Preis wirken. Sie können sehen, dass viele Signale von dieser Anzeige genau die Wendepunkte im S & P 500 anzeigen. Manchmal gibt es viele entgegengesetzte Signale hintereinander. Um dies zu klären, verwende ich immer mehrere Indikatoren und handele nicht nur wegen eines Signals. Wenn Sie diese Indikatoren kombinieren, z.B. mit meinem Stress Dashboard oder Vola Dashboard haben Sie ein viel klareres Bild davon, was auf dem Markt vor sich geht.
Follow Line IndicatorThe FollowLine indicator is a trend following indicator. The blue/red lines are activated when the price closes above the upper Bollinger band or below the lower one.
Once the trigger of the trend direction is made, the FollowLine will be placed at High or Low (depending of the trend).
An ATR filter can be selected to place the line at a more distance level than the normal mode settled at candles Highs/Lows.

Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar.
█ CONCEPTS
Volume Delta
The volume delta concept divides a bar's volume in "up" and "down" volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down volume from up volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView.
This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars.
This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its volume is added:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless.
Intrabar analysis
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour.
This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes.
The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:
• The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).
• The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,
so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator).
The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage.
Balances
This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:
• Color candle bodies.
• Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.
• Color an EMA channel.
• Color the chart's background.
• Configure markers and alerts.
The five balances are:
1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume from the up volume on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.
The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's up volume does not exceed the EMA of up volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume with the EMA of down volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them.
Divergences
In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances.
Divergence Channel
The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel.
Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:
• Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.
• Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.
• Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading.
Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help.
The default configuration displays:
• Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.
If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.
• A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar
and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.
The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.
That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.
• An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.
• A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%.
The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do:
Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs.
Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice.
Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms.
Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe.
Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart.
Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts.
Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator.

Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant.
I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:
• Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.
In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.
Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.
• I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.
Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.
• Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.
When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.
• Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.
I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases.
Divergence Channel
Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction:
Tops and Bottoms EMAs
I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs.
This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th:
█ NOTES
Volume
If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates.
Markets as ecosystems
I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions.
On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy.
Repainting
• The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.
• Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.
• Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,
where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open.
To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool.
█ THANKS
Thanks to alexgrover for his Dekidaka-Ashi indicator. His volume plots on candles were the inspiration for my top/bottom plots.
Kudos to PineCoders for their libraries. I use two of them in this script: Time and lower_tf .
The first versions of this script used functionality that I would not have known about were it not for these two guys:
— A guy called Kuan who commented on a Backtest Rookies presentation of their Volume Profile indicator.
— theheirophant , my partner in the exploration of the sometimes weird abysses of request.security() ’s behavior at lower timeframes.
