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.

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.
The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window.
█ INTERPRETATION
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.

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.
Combo Strategy 123 Reversal & Donchian Channel WidthThis is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
The Donchian Channel was developed by Richard Donchian and it could be compared
to the Bollinger Bands. When it comes to volatility analysis, the Donchian Channel
Width was created in the same way as the Bollinger Bandwidth technical indicator was.
As was mentioned above the Donchian Channel Width is used in technical analysis to measure
volatility. Volatility is one of the most important parameters in technical analysis.
A price trend is not just about a price change. It is also about volume traded during this
price change and volatility of a this price change. When a technical analyst focuses his/her
attention solely on price analysis by ignoring volume and volatility, he/she only sees a part
of a complete picture only. This could lead to a situation when a trader may miss something and
lose money. Lets take a look at a simple example how volatility may help a trader:
Most of the price based technical indicators are lagging indicators.
When price moves on low volatility, it takes time for a price trend to change its direction and
it could be ok to have some lag in an indicator.
When price moves on high volatility, a price trend changes its direction faster and stronger.
An indicator's lag acceptable under low volatility could be financially suicidal now - Buy/Sell signals could be generated when it is already too late.
Another use of volatility - very popular one - it is to adapt a stop loss strategy to it:
Smaller stop-loss recommended in low volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be generated when it is too late.
Bigger stop-loss recommended in high volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be triggered too often and you may miss good trades.

Simple Reversal PointThis indicator finds possible points of reversion, you can use it to stack positions and get a good average price for when the price changes direction, it is the trader responsibility to manage the position and make a profit.

Premium Stochastic OscillatorThe PSO is a rewired version of a short-period stochastic. Unlike a standard stochastic oscillator, this indicator is normalized to register neutral values at zero while providing greater sensitivity to short-term price moves. This indicator uses a central zero line as a reference point and will oscillate above and below this point as price fluctuates. In addition, the PSO is smoothed by using a double exponential moving average to provide a more even response to turns in the market.
(from TASC magazine, August 2008 issue).
The Premium Stochastic Oscillator was introduced by technical analyst Lee Leibfarth.
Normalized Smoothed MACDMACD normalized with its highest and lowest values over the last “Normalization period”
- includes alerts
KDJ Indicator The KDJ indicator is derived from the Stochastic with the one difference being the addition of the J line. This implies that the KDJ indicator has a total of three lines; %K%D%J. The %J is simply put, the difference between the %K and the %D lines, which is similar to the MACD.
The difference between the %J and that of the MACD is that it is plotted as a histogram and the second being that the value are weighted and as such delivers more emphasis on the shorter term %K line.
What we now have is a line that moves quite slowly and has the knack to move beyond the range of a normal stochastic indicator.
BTC BUY/SELL INDICATORThis script combines my personal MACD+RSI strategy which I've been using for years, into a simpler indicator so if both meet the right conditions It'll give a buy or sell signal depending on the circumstances this script is intended to be used along your set of other scripts as a confirmation of your bias for any particular trade, not to be use alone by itself, I recommend using it on high time frames.
Market ModeThe Market Mode indicator seeks to identify trends and rebounds by identifying “phases” according to the principles of John Ehlers.
- When the oscillator passes above the top line, the market is in an uptrend.
- When the oscillator goes below the bottom line, the market is in a downtrend.
- Between these two levels, the market is calmer and could rebound in the direction of the initial trend and / or phase of trend change.
Quadratic SemaphoreThe quadratic semaphore indicator is an indicator that find confirmed market u-turn with the help of 2 quadratic regression calculated with Highs and Lows over the last “length” periods.
- “p” setting is candlesticks quantity to confirmed the quadratic regression has formed a High or Low parabola, such as Fractals. Consecutive same signals can happen due to the use of different price values for upper and lower semaphore.
- Adjust the settings to your instrument and time frame.
- Alerts included.
Success with your trade¡¡
MomBSThis script is a momemtum buy/sell indicator that works very well on sideways markets, particularly trading stablecoins against each other or against fiat. Trading stablecoins is only profitable when your exchange fees are roughly no more then 0.2%, and is one of the best ways to mitigate risk in your portfolio.
This indicator also works very well on stocks and ETFs on 1 day candlestick charts.
It has clear visual references where buys and sells should take place. Blue arrows underneath, pointing up, are buy signals and and the alert condition of BUY ASSET.
There are also clear references of blue arrows pointing down, above the candlestick , to indicate a sell signal. The alert condition of SELL ASSET.

Long Tail Candle by Oliver VelezThis script detects an event created by Oliver Velez, it is a wide-range candle with a small body and a long tail (hammer-type candle), its range is noticeably larger than previous candles, as a rule it can be taken that the body should be maximum of 30% of the total range of the candle with a long tail. The stop goes under the tail and the signal is given when the next candle followed by the long tail candle exceeds its body, do not program this condition so that the alert indicates that a long tail candle was generated and the trader has some Time to visualize the graph and wait for the signal.
The default configuration is very basic, each trader must adjust to their needs.
- Trend filters can be activated.
- Alerts available.
Thumbs up
TMMS OscillatorThe TMMS oscillator (aka “Trading Made More Simpler”) is an indicator made of conditions based on both 2 separated Stochastic and 1 RSI.
Bullish zone is green and bearish one is red. When the histogram is grey, no signals is available at that time.
The indicator has an option to show the current trend of an Hull moving average (ascending or descending curve). When the trend is up, green dots are plotted on the zero line. When the trend is down, the dots are coloured in red.
Greetings, success with your trade!!!

Elephant Bar by Oliver VelezThis script detects an event created by Oliver Velez, basically it is a wide-range candle, its range is noticeably larger than the previous candles, this event indicates a possible continuation of the movement, or the beginning of an extended movement. The candle has to be of good body, as a rule it can be taken that the body must be more than 70%. The stop goes below the minimum of the candle and the signal is given when the next candle followed by the elephant candle exceeds its body, this condition is not programmed so that the alert indicates that an elephant candle was generated and the trader has some time to visualize the graph and wait for the signal. Example below:
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE TRADER ANALYZE THE CONTEXT OF THE MARKET WHERE THE ELEPHANT BAR IS GENERATED AND DETERMINE ACCORDING TO ITS EXPERIENCE IF THE EVENT HAS A GOOD PROBABILITY OF PROJECTION, YOU MUST NOT TAKE AN ENTRY ONLY BY THIS EVENT, IF YOU DO YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY
.
One of the problems of the elephant bar is that it generates a fairly wide risk unit with respect to other narrow range events, so the risk / benefit ratio is not very large, but it is an event that deserves attention when it occurs in a good location since it generally generates continuation.
If you want to have a lower risk unit and improve the risk / benefit ratio, you can play the “Gift Zone”, when detecting an elephant bar you can wait for a step back inside the elephant bar area and take a position, this will give you a less distance to the stop, but this can lead to the event escaping if there is no recoil.
- The size of the candle is determined by comparing a range of previous candles (you can set the amount at your discretion)
- Search factor: by default 1.3, this means that all bars that have a range greater than the average range of previous candles + 30%, are considered elephant candles (can be configured at your discretion)
- Possibility to configure the percentage of the body that the elephant candle must have.
- Possibility of filtering up to 2 means with direction detection and color change (fully configurable)
- Possibility of filtering by mobile averages
- Alerts
- Additional features

Snake/RSIThis study is similar to my Snake study. The differernce is that instead of following a moving average, this "snake" follows a RSI closely looking for the best opportunities to buy/sell.
Dark red triangles at the bottom are buy signals with alerts of BUY ASSET. Dark red triangles to the top are sell signals with alerts of SELL ASSET.
Overbought and oversold are configurable as well as the length of the RSI itself.
Counters RatioCounters Ratio
This is an oscillator like indicator.
Bubbles are used to show the intensity with which buyers overtake sellers or vice-versa.
Bigger bubbles would indicate an oversold or overbought condition, when there is more imbalance between sell volume and buy volume .
They may appear sometimes on low volume - this may be a weak overbought or oversold indication.
The big bubbles that appear on significant volume could be used to find divergences with price.
Multiple instances of the indicator can be combined to get a bigger picture.
In the indicator's settings, a ratio limit can be set for the overbought or oversold condition.
Alerts for counters imbalance can be set to fire whenever the condition is satisfied.

SPY Weekly Trading Strategy - ARK IndicatorDisclaimer: This is not financial advise, please consult with your licensed Financial Advisor for investment advise
Hello everyone,
This Script is designed to spot trends and provide you with an entry and exit points.
Rules of Trading with this Indicator:
1- The best risk/reward ratio of this indicator is that you buy at the very first buy Signal "B" and Sell at the very first Sell Signal "S"
2- and Repeat ....as simple as that
Few notes:
1- The repeats of the buy/sell signal are just confirmation of the the trend so to maximize the chances of being profitable, always start when the trend flips (From Sell to buy and vice versa).
2- No signal indicates that you maybe on an up/down trend depending on what the last signal was but the trend is starting to get weak
3- Once a trend is spotted by the algorithm, it will plot a line to establish, entry and exit depending on the direction of the trend (green for buying and red for selling)
4- you will notice that during up trend since the indicator recommends buying only entry points will be suggested with the help of a green line to give you an exact entry point, it is important that the price reaches that entry point for you to pull the trigger, however once the trend gets exhausted it will start to plot a red line so you are mentally prepared that a counter trend might be just around the corner (this is a pretty useful feature)
5- Recommended Settings: The most important setting that you need to be mindful of is "Signal Frequency", based on my observation so far, 2 works best with Weekly & monthly Charts, 8 with Daily Charts , and 10 with hourly charts or lower. As you know the price of a security depends on countless variables, including but not limited to general market condition, success/failure of the underlying security, and the psychology of the market participants of the security, so you can play around with the signal frequency to see what gives you the optimal/profitable signal in the historical candles.
6- the indicator comes with 3 moving averages since some traders/investors like to use moving averages, if you don't need them feel free to turn them off in the settings. they aren't part of any thing used behind the scene.
any questions feel free to contact me by commenting below.
Note: if you have any useful ideas on how to enhance the indicator, please don't be shy!
Warm regards & best of luck!
Ahmad
