Breakout Patterns Detector: Triangle & Wedge [Splirus]This indicator identifies Breakout Patterns such as Ascending Triangles , Descending Triangles , Symmetric Triangles , Ascending Wedges , and Descending Wedges , using candlestick charts and Trendlines. It provides visual cues, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP) levels, alongside a detailed dashboard to evaluate performance. The indicator supports two alert modes: Manual Mode for trader notifications and Bot Mode for automated trading signals.
To achieve optimal results, users are encouraged to experiment with indicator parameters and analyze the dashboard summary to find the perfect configuration for each timeframe, pair, and market condition.
Pattern Identification
The indicator detects the following breakout patterns based on pivot highs and lows:
Ascending Triangle : Flat upper trendline, rising lower trendline.
Descending Triangle : Flat lower trendline, declining upper trendline.
Symmetric Triangle : Converging trendlines with similar slopes (within a user-defined threshold).
Ascending Wedge : Both trendlines slope upward, converging.
Descending Wedge : Both trendlines slope downward, converging.
Patterns are identified using configurable left and right bars for small and big patterns, with slope thresholds normalized by ATR. A trend confirmation filter ensures breakouts align with market direction, and users can adjust breakout confirmation bars to validate signals.
The goal is to fine-tune these settings to suit specific timeframes and pairs, as each combination may require a unique setup for optimal performance.
Stop-Loss Calculation
Stop-loss levels are calculated dynamically based on pattern type and breakout direction:
Symmetric Triangle : SL is set at the first pivot of the opposite trendline, adjusted by a buffer percentage.
Ascending/Descending Triangle : SL is placed at the breakout trendline’s price, plus the buffer.
Ascending/Descending Wedge : SL is set at the second pivot of the opposite trendline, adjusted by the buffer.
The indicator calculates leverage based on a user-defined risk tolerance percentage. Users should adjust the SL buffer and risk tolerance to balance risk and reward, monitoring the dashboard to assess how these settings impact performance across different timeframes and pairs.
Take-Profit Calculation
Three take-profit levels ( TP1 , TP2 , TP3 ) are calculated using pattern height and user-defined multipliers:
For Ascending/Descending Triangles, height is the difference between the max and min prices within the pattern.
For Symmetric Triangles and Wedges, height is the vertical distance between trendlines at the pattern’s start.
TP levels are set as:
TP1 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP1 Multiplier).
TP2 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP2 Multiplier).
TP3 = Breakout price ± (Height × TP3 Multiplier, with a 1.5x adjustment for Wedges).
Experiment with TP multipliers to optimize the risk-reward ratio, using the dashboard to evaluate TP hit rates and overall profitability for each configuration.

Finding the Perfect Configuration
The indicator’s dashboard provides a comprehensive summary of performance metrics, including total trades, TP1/TP2/TP3 hits, SL hits, profit/loss percentages, and win rates for bullish, bearish, and combined trades. These metrics are crucial for identifying the ideal parameter settings:
Timeframe and Pair Variability : Each timeframe (e.g., 15m, 30min, 1H, 4H, Daily) and pair (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD) behaves differently. Adjust parameters like left/right bars, minimum pattern length, and breakout confirmation bars to match the volatility and trend characteristics of the chosen pair and timeframe.
Parameter Tuning : Modify slope thresholds, trend confirmation filters, and bars inside the pattern to filter out false breakouts. For example, a higher breakout confirmation bar setting may reduce signals but increase reliability on longer timeframes.
Dashboard Analysis : Focus on the dashboard’s win rate, profit/loss ratio, and TP/SL hit frequencies. A “Perfect” win rate (>66%) or high TP hit rate indicates a strong configuration. If the SL hit rate is high, consider tightening the trend confirmation filter or increasing the SL buffer.
Iterative Testing : Test different combinations of settings (e.g., small vs. big patterns, aggressive vs. conservative breakout confirmation) and compare dashboard results over time. The goal is to find a balance where the indicator consistently delivers high win rates and profitability for your specific trading setup.
Alert Modes
The indicator supports two alert modes to suit different trading styles:
Manual Mode : Generates alerts for breakouts with entry price, SL, TP1/TP2/TP3, and leverage, tailored for Crypto or Forex markets. Use this mode to manually evaluate signals while refining configurations.
Bot Mode : Sends automated trading signals. To avoid conflicts, Bot Mode ensures no short position alert is triggered while a long position is active, and vice versa. This mode is ideal once you’ve identified an optimal configuration via the dashboard.
Additional Features
Historical Patterns : Displays past trendlines with customizable transparency and extension, helping users analyze how patterns performed under different settings.
Customizable Settings : Adjust pattern size, breakout confirmation, trend filters, and visual preferences (colors, dashboard location) to match your trading style.
Market Compatibility : Supports Crypto and Forex markets across all timeframes, but requires careful tuning for each market type.
Usage Notes
Start with default settings and monitor the dashboard to establish a baseline performance for your chosen timeframe and pair.
Gradually adjust one parameter at a time (e.g., left/right bars, TP multipliers) and compare dashboard results to identify improvements.
Use historical pattern analysis to understand how past breakouts performed under different configurations, guiding your optimization process.
Once a high win rate and profitability are achieved, consider automating trades with Bot Mode for consistent execution.

在腳本中搜尋"TRENDLINES"
Trend Lines [LuxAlgo]Our new "Trend Lines" indicator detects and highlights relevant trendlines on the user chart while keeping it free of as much clutter as possible.
The indicator is thought for real-time usage and includes several filters as well as the ability to estimate trendline angles.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines can act as support/resistance, with a higher number of tests indicating a more significant support/resistance role.
A broken TrendLine can be indicative of a potential trend reversal. The script highlights breaks with a label.
Users can additionally filter trendlines, only showing trendlines whose angles fall within a user set range:
This allows for the removal of potential clutter from the chart but also helps keep steeper or more horizontal trendlines.
🔶 DETAILS
When a swing (pivot point) is found, a Trendline is drawn when certain conditions are fulfilled.
An essential condition is that a Bearish Trendline (red) always occurs on a lower high, while a Bullish Trendline (blue) occurs on a higher low.
Our implementation will first show an initial dotted-styled TrendLine on confirmation, after which a solid-styled secondary TrendLine will develop. The latter will be used for the real-time detection of breaks at that line:
Furthermore, the script allows you to add more conditions:
🔹 Length (Swings)
A swing develops when a high/low is the highest/lowest against x highs/lows on the left AND right of that bar. x can be set by "Length" in settings.
The following images clarify this. The script confirms a swing where the yellow flag is shown; the high (here visualized with a purple label) is the highest point against x bars left and right of that point.
At that moment, this swing is checked against the previous swing. If all conditions are fulfilled, an initial TrendLine is drawn on confirmation.
After that point, a secondary thicker solid line is seen which keeps progressing bar after bar, until:
• a new TrendLine is formed
• the TrendLine is broken
🔹 Breaks between Swings
Once there is confirmation that a TrendLine can be drawn, the script allows you to filter for breakthroughs on that line. This can be set with "Check breaks between"
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced:
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points:
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar):
🔹 TrendLine breaks
As mentioned, the secondary TrendLine (solid line) progresses bar after bar until a new TrendLine is formed or the TrendLine is broken. When a TrendLine is broken, the TrendLine stops progressing, but if there isn't a new TrendLine and price return back, the TrendLine will re-appear, potentially giving several signals when the TrendLine is broken again.
Minimal bars allow you to regulate the amount of signals when the TrendLine is broken.
-> The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
The following example shows 1 signal against 3 by adjusting this setting from 2 to 5:
🔹 Angles
Angles should normally be calculated when the units of the X and Y axis are the same. However, on our charts, the unit of the X-axis is bar_index (bars), and on the Y-axis the unit is price (¥, €, £, $,...).
It is not easy to normalize and create reasonably valid angles. Often certain angle calculations can differ through price changes or volatility.
Our calculate_slope() function tries to make corresponding angles through all bars.
We do this by calculating the difference between the highest/lowest price values in a certain bar range. The bar range is our X-axis, and the price difference is our Y-axis.
Zooming in/out will not change the amount of bars or the price. Since it does change our view on the chart, and thereby how we see the angles, we have included a setting where you can personalize the ratio between X and Y-axis (Angles -> Ratio X-Y axis).
Settings: Angles - Ratio X-Y axis:
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swings
Length: Lookback period for the detection of swing points.
🔹 Trendline validation
Check breaks between :
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar)
Source (breaks) : Source which invalidates TrendLine, default: close
🔹 TrendLine breaks
Minimal bars : The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
🔹 Angles
Show : Toggle labels.
Ratio X-Y axis : Every user has his preferences regarding zoom, chart layout,...
If the shown angles are not according to your expectations, you can adjust this number.
Only TrendLine between : Only allow TrendLines between the minimum and maximum degrees. Set only the minimal and maximum values above 0.

Parallel Projections [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically projects parallel trendlines or channels, from a single point of origin. In the example above I have applied the indicator twice to the 1D SPXUSD. The five upper lines (green) are projected at an angle of -5 from the 1-month swing high anchor point with a projection ratio of -72. And the seven lower lines (blue) are projected at an angle of 10 with a projection ratio of 36 from the 1-week swing low anchor point.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a high price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a low price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices (Basic)
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Support and Resistance
• Support refers to a price level where the demand for an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further.
• Resistance refers to a price level where the supply of an asset is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further.
Support and resistance levels are important because they can help traders identify where the price of an asset might pause or reverse its direction, offering potential entry and exit points. For example, a trader might look to buy an asset when it approaches a support level , with the expectation that the price will bounce back up. Alternatively, a trader might look to sell an asset when it approaches a resistance level , with the expectation that the price will drop back down.
It's important to note that support and resistance levels are not always relevant, and the price of an asset can also break through these levels and continue moving in the same direction.
Trendlines
Trendlines are straight lines that are drawn between two or more points on a price chart. These lines are used as dynamic support and resistance levels for making strategic decisions and predictions about future price movements. For example traders will look for price movements along, and reactions to, trendlines in the form of rejections or breakouts/downs.

• Intraday Highest High (intraday charts only)
• Intraday Lowest Low (intraday charts only)
Swing High/Swing Low Occurrence
This input is used to determine which historic peak or trough to reference for swing high or swing low anchor point types.
HTF Resolution
This input is used to determine which higher timeframe to reference for swing high (HTF) or swing low (HTF) anchor point types.
Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
This input is used to determine the lookback length for highest high or lowest low anchor point types.
Intraday Highest High/Lowest Low Lookback
When using intraday highest high or lowest low anchor point types, the lookback length is calculated automatically based on number of bars since the daily candle opened.
Angle Degree
This input is used to determine the angle of the trendlines. The output is expressed in terms of point or pips, depending on the symbol type, which is then passed through the built in math.todegrees() function. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
It is also worth mentioning that as more lines are added the gaps between the lines, that are closest to the anchor point, will get tighter as they make their way up the y-axis. Although the gaps between the lines will stay constant at the x2 plot, i.e. a distance of 10 points between them, they will gradually get tighter and tighter at the point of origin as the slope of the lines get steeper.
Projection Ratio
This input is used to determine the distance between the parallels, expressed in terms of point or pips. Positive numbers will project the lines upwards while negative numbers will project the lines downwards. Depending on the market and timeframe, the impact input values will have on the visible gaps between the lines will vary greatly. For example, an input of 10 will have a far greater impact on the gaps between the lines when viewed from the 1-minute timeframe than it would on the 1-day timeframe. The input is a float and as such the value passed through can go into as many decimal places as the user requires.
Number Lines
This input is used to determine the number of lines to be drawn on the chart, maximum is 500.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.
If the lines do not draw or you see a study error saying that the script references too many candles in history, this is most likely because the higher timeframe anchor point is not present on the current timeframe. This problem usually occurs when referencing a higher timeframe, such as the 1-month, from a much lower timeframe, such as the 1-minute. How far you can lookback for higher timeframe anchor points on the current timeframe will also be limited by your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000.
█ RAMBLINGS
It is my current thesis that the indicator will work best when used in conjunction with my Wavemeter indicator, which can be used to set the angle and projection ratio. For example, the average wave height or amplitude could be used as the value for the angle and projection ratio inputs. Or some factor or multiple of such an average. I think this makes sense as it allows for objectivity when applying the indicator across different markets and timeframes with different energies and vibrations.

SMC style josh )SMC style josh — FVG, OB, BOS/CHoCH, EQH/EQL, PD, HTF, Trendlines
What it does
A clean-room Smart-Money–style study that visualizes market structure and liquidity concepts:
Structure: BOS & CHoCH for swing and internal legs (width/style controls, preview of last pivots)
Order Blocks: internal & swing OBs with midline (50%), mitigated/invalid handling, optional auto Breaker creation
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): auto boxes with optional 50% line, ATR filter, extend length, and “after-CHoCH only” window
Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL): ATR-based proximity threshold
Liquidity Grabs: wick-through/close-back tags
Premium/Discount (PD) zones: live boxes + equilibrium line from latest swing range
HTF levels: previous Daily/Weekly/Monthly highs/lows with labels (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML)
Trendlines: auto swing-to-swing lines (liquidity)
Confluence Score: column plot summarizing recent events (+/− weighting)
Key options
Safety switch to pause all drawings
Per-module visibility, label sizes/colors, line styles/widths
ATR-based filters for impulses and gaps
Limits for lines/labels/boxes to avoid runtime errors
How to read
BOS = continuation break of the current leg; CHoCH = potential regime shift
OB mitigated when price returns into the block; invalid when price closes beyond; mitigated-then-invalid can form a Breaker
FVG is considered “filled” when price closes through the gap boundary (optional hide/gray-out)
Strong/Weak High/Low tags reflect the active swing bias (potential liquidity/targets)

It calculates a Z-score, which tells you how many standard deviations the current price is away from the VWAP. This normalization makes it a consistent and reliable tool for identifying market extremes.
The indicator comes packed with features, including:
Customizable Overbought & Oversold Zones
Built-in Bullish & Bearish Divergence Detection
Automatic Trendline Plotting
A Moving Exponential Average (MEA) for crossover signals
Fully customizable alerts for every key event.
How to Use It - The BTC Dominance Strategy for Altcoins
As shown in the screenshot, this indicator is an exceptional tool for trading altcoins by analyzing the BTC Dominance (BTC.D) chart. The relationship is typically inverse:
When ZVWAP on BTC.D is RISING (or Overbought) ➔ It's BEARISH for Altcoins.
This means Bitcoin is gaining dominance, and capital is flowing out of altcoins and into Bitcoin. This is a time to be cautious with or short altcoins.
When ZVWAP on BTC.D is FALLING (or Oversold) ➔ It's BULLISH for Altcoins.
This means Bitcoin is losing dominance, and capital is flowing into altcoins, often starting an "altcoin season." This is a great time to look for long entries on your favorite altcoins.
Key Signals on the BTC.D Chart:
Zone Entries: When ZVWAP enters the red (Overbought) zone, prepare for altcoins to weaken. When it enters the blue (Oversold) zone, look for altcoin strength.
MEA Crossover: A crossover of the yellow ZVWAP line below the cyan MEA line is a strong confirmation that dominance is falling and the trend is becoming bullish for altcoins.
Divergences: A bearish divergence on the BTC.D chart can be an early warning that dominance is about to fall, signaling a potential bullish move for altcoins.
Key Features Explained
Overbought / Oversold Zones: The red and blue shaded areas clearly define when an asset is statistically over-extended. These are prime areas to look for mean reversion or trend exhaustion.
Divergence Detection: The script automatically detects and plots divergences between price and the ZVWAP.
• Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but ZVWAP makes a higher low. (Potential buy signal).
• Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but ZVWAP makes a lower high. (Potential sell signal).
The Reference Lines (+1 / -1): These gray lines represent one standard deviation from the VWAP. They act as an early warning system. When the ZVWAP crosses these lines, it shows that momentum is building, and the price is starting to deviate significantly from its average.
Automatic Trendlines: The indicator can automatically draw and manage trendlines based on recent pivots in the ZVWAP, helping you visualize the current momentum and potential breakout points. This feature can be turned off if you prefer a cleaner chart.
Customization and Alerts
The indicator is fully customizable. You can adjust the lengths, zone levels, and visual settings to fit your trading style. Most importantly, it includes a comprehensive set of alerts:
Enter Overbought Zone
Enter Oversold Zone
Bullish Divergence Detected
Bearish Divergence Detected
Enter Any Zone (OB/OS) - a single alert for either condition.
Any Divergence (Bull/Bear) - a single alert for any divergence.
This allows you to stay informed of every important signal without having to watch the charts all day.

Dow waveform analyzerDow Waveform Analyzer
1. Overview and Features of the Indicator
This indicator is a tool designed to analyze chart waveforms based on Dow Theory, identifying swing lows (support) and swing highs (resistance). It allows users to quickly and consistently determine trend direction. Compared to manual analysis, it provides more efficient and accurate results.
By using swing lows and swing highs, the indicator offers a more detailed understanding of trends than simple updates to highs and lows, aiding in the creation of effective trading strategies.
2. Identifying Wave Lows and Highs
Stock prices do not move in straight lines; instead, they rise and fall in waves. This indicator starts by identifying the wave lows and wave highs.
- Wave Low: The lowest point during a temporary price decline.
- Wave High: The highest point during a temporary price increase.
These are automatically identified using Pine Script’s built-in functions `pivotlow` and `pivothigh`.
3. Drawing the Waveform
The identified wave lows and highs are alternately connected to draw the waveform. However, there are cases where wave lows or highs occur consecutively:
- Consecutive Wave Lows: The lower low is used for drawing the waveform.
- Consecutive Wave Highs: The higher high is used for drawing the waveform.
4. Tracking Swing Lows/Highs and Trend Determination
Swing lows and swing highs are crucial markers that indicate the state of wave progression:
- Swing Low: The starting point of a wave (wave low) when the closing price exceeds the previous wave high.
- Swing High: The starting point of a wave (wave high) when the closing price falls below the previous wave low.
The changes in swing lows and swing highs as the waves progress allow for trend state determination.
5. Examples of Trend States
During an Uptrend:
- When the price surpasses a wave high, the swing low is updated, confirming the continuation of the uptrend.
End of an Uptrend:
- When the price falls below the swing low, the swing low disappears, and a swing high appears, signaling the end of the uptrend.
Sideways Movement:
- Swing lows and swing highs alternately appear, indicating a sideways trend.
Start of a Downtrend:
- When the price breaks below a wave low for the first time, the swing high is updated, confirming the start of the downtrend.
During a Downtrend:
- When the price breaks below a wave low, the swing high is updated, confirming the continuation of the downtrend.
End of a Downtrend:
- When the price surpasses a wave high, the swing high disappears, and a swing low reappears, signaling the end of the downtrend.
Restart of an Uptrend:
- When the swing low is updated, the uptrend resumes. The uptrend begins when the price surpasses a wave high, and the swing low is updated for the first time.
6. Applications
Trade Entries and Exits:
- Set stop orders for entry at the price level where a trend starts.
- Set stop orders for exit at the price level where a trend ends.
Trend Filtering:
- Use the indicator to confirm whether market conditions are suitable for entry based on the trend state. Analyze waveforms to aid trading strategies.
Guide for Drawing Trendlines:
- Utilize wave lows and highs as starting and ending points when drawing trendlines with drawing tools.
7. Parameters and Display Items
Pivot Points:
- Wave lows are marked with circles below the candlestick’s low, and wave highs are marked with circles above the candlestick’s high.
Number of Bars for Pivot Calculation:
- Specify the number of bars on either side used to identify highs (default: 2).
Waveform:
- Specify the color (default: blue) or toggle its visibility (default: visible).
Swing Lows/Highs:
- Displayed as large circles. The rightmost large circle on the chart indicates the current swing low or swing high. Historical swing points are also displayed to show the progression of state changes. Specify the color (default: green) or toggle visibility (default: visible).

RR SummaThis is my favourite Indicator
Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis used by traders to predict potential price movements in financial markets such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
### 1. **Support**
Support refers to a price level at which an asset tends to find buying interest, preventing the price from falling further. It acts as a "floor" where demand is strong enough to halt the downward movement and potentially reverse it. When the price approaches support, buyers may step in, believing the asset is undervalued.
- **Characteristics of Support:**
- **Previous lows:** Historical price points where the price has repeatedly bounced upward.
- **Increased buying pressure:** When prices approach the support level, traders tend to buy, believing it's a good entry point.
- **Psychological factor:** Traders view support levels as a point where the price is unlikely to fall below for a while.
- **Example:** A stock may be trading at $50, and whenever it drops near that price, buyers step in and push it back up. In this case, $50 is the support level.
### 2. **Resistance**
Resistance is the opposite of support. It is a price level at which an asset faces selling pressure, preventing the price from rising further. It acts as a "ceiling," where supply exceeds demand, often leading to a reversal or consolidation.
- **Characteristics of Resistance:**
- **Previous highs:** Historical price points where the price has struggled to break through or where it has reversed downward.
- **Increased selling pressure:** Sellers are more likely to take profits or short the asset near resistance levels.
- **Psychological factor:** Traders may perceive resistance levels as a point where the asset is overvalued or where the trend will reverse.
- **Example:** A stock may approach a price of $100, but every time it gets close, sellers appear and push the price back down. In this case, $100 is the resistance level.
### **Key Points about Support and Resistance**
- **Breakout and Breakdown:** If a price moves beyond a support or resistance level, it is considered a breakout (above resistance) or breakdown (below support). This may signal a new trend in the market.
- **Role Reversal:** Once a resistance level is broken, it can turn into a support level, and vice versa. Traders often look for such shifts in market behavior.
- **Trend Continuation or Reversal:** Support and resistance can indicate whether the market is in a trend or preparing for a reversal. A test of support or resistance can lead to a continuation if the level holds, or a reversal if the level is breached.
### **Identifying Support and Resistance**
- **Historical Price Action:** Look for points where the price has reversed or consolidated multiple times.
- **Trendlines:** Draw trendlines that connect swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) to identify these levels.
- **Moving Averages:** Key moving averages (e.g., 50-day, 200-day) can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
### **Why Support and Resistance Matter**
- **Risk Management:** Traders use these levels to place stop-loss orders to manage risk.
- **Entry and Exit Points:** These levels can help traders decide when to enter or exit trades, aiming to buy near support and sell near resistance.
- **Market Sentiment:** Support and resistance levels reflect the collective psychology of market participants, indicating areas where sentiment may shift.
In summary, support and resistance are essential tools for traders to identify potential price points where assets may reverse or consolidate. Understanding these levels allows traders to make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or stay on the sidelines.
Price-Volume w Trendline - Strategy [presentTrading]█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Price-Volume with Trendline Strategy is an innovative strategy that combines volume profile analysis, price-based Z-scores, and dynamic trendline filtering to identify optimal entry and exit points in the market. What sets this strategy apart is the integration of volume concentration (Point of Control or PoC) with dynamic volatility thresholds. Additionally, this strategy introduces a multi-step take profit (TP) mechanism that adjusts based on predefined levels, allowing traders to exit trades progressively while capitalizing on market momentum.
BTCUSD 6hr LS Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The combination of multiple indicators and methodologies serves to create a more robust and reliable trading system. Each element is carefully chosen for its complementary role in providing accurate signals while minimizing false entries and exits. Here’s why the different components were chosen and how they work together:
- PoC and Z-Scores: The volume profile identifies key price areas, while the Z-score measures deviations from the mean. Together, they highlight points where the market is likely to react. For example, when the Z-score indicates an oversold condition near a PoC support level, it increases the probability of a reversal, providing a clear entry signal.
- Trendlines and Z-Scores: Trendlines serve as a secondary filter to ensure that price deviations identified by Z-scores align with broader market trends. This ensures that trades are only entered when the price has both deviated from its average and broken through a significant trendline level, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
- Multi-Step TP and Risk Management: Finally, the multi-step take profit logic works in tandem with the entry signals generated by the PoC, Z-scores, and trendlines. As the price moves in favor of the trade, profits are gradually locked in, ensuring the trader captures gains while still leaving room for further upside.
🔶 Point of Control (PoC) and Volume Profile Analysis
The PoC identifies the price level with the highest volume concentration within a specified lookback period. This price level represents where the most trading activity has occurred, often acting as a strong support or resistance. By breaking down the range into several rows (bins), the strategy identifies how much volume was traded at each price level.
🔶 Z-Score Calculation
The Z-score is a statistical metric that measures how far the current price is from its mean, expressed in terms of standard deviations. This is calculated both for price deviation and PoC-based deviation.
🔶 Trendline Breakout Filtering
The trendline filtering is a crucial aspect that refines entry signals by confirming trend continuation or reversals. It calculates trendlines based on pivot highs and lows using the selected method (e.g., ATR or standard deviation).
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit
The multi-step take profit mechanism allows the strategy to take partial profits at several predefined levels. For example, when the price reaches 3%, 8%, 14%, or 21% above (or below) the entry price, it exits portions of the position. This is a useful technique for locking in profits as the market moves favorably.

█ Usage
The Price-Volume with Trendline Strategy can be applied to various asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities. It is particularly effective in volatile markets where price deviations and volume concentrations signal potential reversals or trend continuations. By adjusting the settings for volatility and the lookback period, this strategy can be tailored to both short-term intraday trades and longer-term swing trades.
█ Default Settings
The default settings in the strategy play a vital role in shaping its performance.
- POC_lookbackLength (144): This defines the number of bars used to calculate the PoC. A longer lookback captures more data, leading to a more stable PoC, but may result in delayed signals. A shorter lookback increases responsiveness but may introduce noise.
- priceDeviationLength (200): This determines the period for calculating the standard deviation of price. A higher length smooths out the volatility, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Shorter lengths make the strategy more sensitive to sudden price movements.
- TL_length (14): Controls the swing detection period for trendline calculation. A shorter length will generate more frequent trendline breakouts, while a longer length captures only significant moves.
- Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy offers both fixed and SuperTrend-based stop losses. SuperTrend is adaptive to volatility, while fixed stop losses provide simpler risk control. The multi-step take profit ensures that profits are secured progressively, which can improve performance in trending markets by reducing the risk of full reversals.
Each of these settings can significantly affect the strategy’s risk-reward balance. For instance, increasing the stop loss level or the take profit percentages allows the strategy to stay in trades longer, potentially increasing profit per trade but at the cost of larger drawdowns. Conversely, tighter stops and smaller profit targets result in more frequent trades with lower average profit per trade.
Support & Resistance AI (K means/median) [ThinkLogicAI]█ OVERVIEW
K-means is a clustering algorithm commonly used in machine learning to group data points into distinct clusters based on their similarities. While K-means is not typically used directly for identifying support and resistance levels in financial markets, it can serve as a tool in a broader analysis approach.
Support and resistance levels are price levels in financial markets where the price tends to react or reverse. Support is a level where the price tends to stop falling and might start to rise, while resistance is a level where the price tends to stop rising and might start to fall. Traders and analysts often look for these levels as they can provide insights into potential price movements and trading opportunities.
█ BACKGROUND
The K-means algorithm has been around since the late 1950s, making it more than six decades old. The algorithm was introduced by Stuart Lloyd in his 1957 research paper "Least squares quantization in PCM" for telecommunications applications. However, it wasn't widely known or recognized until James MacQueen's 1967 paper "Some Methods for Classification and Analysis of Multivariate Observations," where he formalized the algorithm and referred to it as the "K-means" clustering method.
So, while K-means has been around for a considerable amount of time, it continues to be a widely used and influential algorithm in the fields of machine learning, data analysis, and pattern recognition due to its simplicity and effectiveness in clustering tasks.
█ COMPARE AND CONTRAST SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE METHODS
1) K-means Approach:
Cluster Formation: After applying the K-means algorithm to historical price change data and visualizing the resulting clusters, traders can identify distinct regions on the price chart where clusters are formed. Each cluster represents a group of similar price change patterns.
Cluster Analysis: Analyze the clusters to identify areas where clusters tend to form. These areas might correspond to regions of price behavior that repeat over time and could be indicative of support and resistance levels.
Potential Support and Resistance Levels: Based on the identified areas of cluster formation, traders can consider these regions as potential support and resistance levels. A cluster forming at a specific price level could suggest that this level has been historically significant, causing similar price behavior in the past.
Cluster Standard Deviation: In addition to looking at the means (centroids) of the clusters, traders can also calculate the standard deviation of price changes within each cluster. Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion or volatility of data points around the mean. A higher standard deviation indicates greater price volatility within a cluster.
Low Standard Deviation: If a cluster has a low standard deviation, it suggests that prices within that cluster are relatively stable and less likely to exhibit sudden and large price movements. Traders might consider placing tighter stop-loss orders for trades within these clusters.
High Standard Deviation: Conversely, if a cluster has a high standard deviation, it indicates greater price volatility within that cluster. Traders might opt for wider stop-loss orders to allow for potential price fluctuations without getting stopped out prematurely.
Cluster Density: Each data point is assigned to a cluster so a cluster that is more dense will act more like gravity and
2) Traditional Approach:
Trendlines: Draw trendlines connecting significant highs or lows on a price chart to identify potential support and resistance levels.
Chart Patterns: Identify chart patterns like double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders, and triangles that often indicate potential reversal points.
Moving Averages: Use moving averages to identify levels where the price might find support or resistance based on the average price over a specific period.
Psychological Levels: Identify round numbers or levels that traders often pay attention to, which can act as support and resistance.
Previous Highs and Lows: Identify significant previous price highs and lows that might act as support or resistance.
The key difference lies in the approach and the foundation of these methods. Traditional methods are based on well-established principles of technical analysis and market psychology, while the K-means approach involves clustering price behavior without necessarily incorporating market sentiment or specific price patterns.
It's important to note that while the K-means approach might provide an interesting way to analyze price data, it should be used cautiously and in conjunction with other traditional methods. Financial markets are influenced by a wide range of factors beyond just price behavior, and the effectiveness of any method for identifying support and resistance levels should be thoroughly tested and validated. Additionally, developments in trading strategies and analysis techniques could have occurred since my last update.
█ K MEANS ALGORITHM
The algorithm for K means is as follows:
Initialize cluster centers
assign data to clusters based on minimum distance
calculate cluster center by taking the average or median of the clusters
repeat steps 1-3 until cluster centers stop moving
█ LIMITATIONS OF K MEANS
There are 3 main limitations of this algorithm:
Sensitive to Initializations: K-means is sensitive to the initial placement of centroids. Different initializations can lead to different cluster assignments and final results.
Assumption of Equal Sizes and Variances: K-means assumes that clusters have roughly equal sizes and spherical shapes. This may not hold true for all types of data. It can struggle with identifying clusters with uneven densities, sizes, or shapes.
Impact of Outliers: K-means is sensitive to outliers, as a single outlier can significantly affect the position of cluster centroids. Outliers can lead to the creation of spurious clusters or distortion of the true cluster structure.
█ LIMITATIONS IN APPLICATION OF K MEANS IN TRADING
Trading data often exhibits characteristics that can pose challenges when applying indicators and analysis techniques. Here's how the limitations of outliers, varying scales, and unequal variance can impact the use of indicators in trading:
Outliers are data points that significantly deviate from the rest of the dataset. In trading, outliers can represent extreme price movements caused by rare events, news, or market anomalies. Outliers can have a significant impact on trading indicators and analyses:
Indicator Distortion: Outliers can skew the calculations of indicators, leading to misleading signals. For instance, a single extreme price spike could cause indicators like moving averages or RSI (Relative Strength Index) to give false signals.
Risk Management: Outliers can lead to overly aggressive trading decisions if not properly accounted for. Ignoring outliers might result in unexpected losses or missed opportunities to adjust trading strategies.
Different Scales: Trading data often includes multiple indicators with varying units and scales. For example, prices are typically in dollars, volume in units traded, and oscillators have their own scale. Mixing indicators with different scales can complicate analysis:
Normalization: Indicators on different scales need to be normalized or standardized to ensure they contribute equally to the analysis. Failure to do so can lead to one indicator dominating the analysis due to its larger magnitude.
Comparability: Without normalization, it's challenging to directly compare the significance of indicators. Some indicators might have a larger numerical range and could overshadow others.
Unequal Variance: Unequal variance in trading data refers to the fact that some indicators might exhibit higher volatility than others. This can impact the interpretation of signals and the performance of trading strategies:
Volatility Adjustment: When combining indicators with varying volatility, it's essential to adjust for their relative volatilities. Failure to do so might lead to overemphasizing or underestimating the importance of certain indicators in the trading strategy.
Risk Assessment: Unequal variance can impact risk assessment. Indicators with higher volatility might lead to riskier trading decisions if not properly taken into account.
█ APPLICATION OF THIS INDICATOR
This indicator can be used in 2 ways:
1) Make a directional trade:
If a trader thinks price will go higher or lower and price is within a cluster zone, The trader can take a position and place a stop on the 1 sd band around the cluster. As one can see below, the trader can go long the green arrow and place a stop on the one standard deviation mark for that cluster below it at the red arrow. using this we can calculate a risk to reward ratio.
Calculating risk to reward: targeting a risk reward ratio of 2:1, the trader could clearly make that given that the next resistance area above that in the orange cluster exceeds this risk reward ratio.
2) Take a reversal Trade:
We can use cluster centers (support and resistance levels) to go in the opposite direction that price is currently moving in hopes of price forming a pivot and reversing off this level.
Similar to the directional trade, we can use the standard deviation of the cluster to place a stop just in case we are wrong.
In this example below we can see that shorting on the red arrow and placing a stop at the one standard deviation above this cluster would give us a profitable trade with minimal risk.
Using the cluster density table in the upper right informs the trader just how dense the cluster is. Higher density clusters will give a higher likelihood of a pivot forming at these levels and price being rejected and switching direction with a larger move.
█ FEATURES & SETTINGS
General Settings:
Number of clusters: The user can select from 3 to five clusters. A good rule of thumb is that if you are trading intraday, less is more (Think 3 rather than 5). For daily 4 to 5 clusters is good.
Cluster Method: To get around the outlier limitation of k means clustering, The median was added. This gives the user the ability to choose either k means or k median clustering. K means is the preferred method if the user things there are no large outliers, and if there appears to be large outliers or it is assumed there are then K medians is preferred.
Bars back To train on: This will be the amount of bars to include in the clustering. This number is important so that the user includes bars that are recent but not so far back that they are out of the scope of where price can be. For example the last 2 years we have been in a range on the sp500 so 505 days in this setting would be more relevant than say looking back 5 years ago because price would have to move far to get there.
Show SD Bands: Select this to show the 1 standard deviation bands around the support and resistance level or unselect this to just show the support and resistance level by itself.
Features:
Besides the support and resistance levels and standard deviation bands, this indicator gives a table in the upper right hand corner to show the density of each cluster (support and resistance level) and is color coded to the cluster line on the chart. Higher density clusters mean price has been there previously more than lower density clusters and could mean a higher likelihood of a reversal when price reaches these areas.

Cyatophilum Strategy BuilderAn indicator to create strategies, backtest and setup alerts.
The user can choose one or multiple TA entry conditions, if more than one the conditions are combined with a logical AND.
The entries will open up a trade, which is then handled by a risk management system including Trailing Stop, Take Profit and up to 100 Safety Orders.
This indicator can be used to backtest 3commas DCA bots who are using TA presets, RSI or ULT.
Its main goal is to create strategies by combining indicators.
Let's dive into the details of what's included:
Entry Condition: MACD
Triggers an entry when macd crosses with the signal line.
Configure the fast, slow length, signal smoothing and timeframe to trigger the condition.
Entry Condition: RSI
Triggers an entry when the RSI is higher or lower than the long/short threshold.
Configure the length, timeframe, long and short threshold to trigger the condition.
Entry Condition: ULT (Ultimate Oscillator)
Triggers an entry when the ULT is higher or lower than the long/short threshold.
Configure the 3 lengths, timeframe, long and short threshold to trigger the condition.
Entry Condition: Bollinger Bands
Triggers an entry when the price is above the upper band for long and below the lower band for short.
Configure the length, standard deviation and timeframe to trigger the condition.
Entry Condition: MFI (Money Flow Index)
Similar to RSI, it triggers an entry when the MFI is higher or lower than the long/short threshold.
Configure the length, timeframe, long and short threshold to trigger the condition.
Entry Condition: CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
Another oscillator that triggers an entry when its value is higher or lower than the long/short threshold.
Configure the length, timeframe, long and short threshold to trigger the condition.
Trend Filters
Use one or two trendlines to filter your trades: go only long/short when the trendline is bullish/bearish.
Choose between the several trendlines: ema, sma, wma, hull ma, kama, alma, rma, swma, vwma, Tilson T3, and the unique Adaptive T3 and Adaptive Hull MA.
If this is not enough, you can use the external trendline feature to plug in any other indicator for your trendline.
The second trendline can be MTF and come from another symbol if needed.
Combining Indicators
Most of the time we will not be using a single indicator at a time, but instead, combine them in order to get stronger entries.
The entry conditions are combined using a AND logical gate, meaning all conditions must be true for the entry to trigger.
Here is an example using a combination of 2 indicators: Bollinger Bands and RSI.
We can see less entries are being triggered on the bottom chart than on the top chart because the bottom chart is combining the 2 indicators while the top chart is only using Bollinger Bands.
You can combine up to all 6 indicators if you want, but keep in mind that combining too many may lead to triggering no entry at all.
Risk Management and Trade system
The indicator will not trigger more than one long or short entry in a row.
To start a new trade, the indicator will wait for either take profit, stop loss or an opposite entry if no SL and TP is set.
Stop Loss and Take Profit
Configure your stop loss and take profit for long and short trades.
You can also make a trailing stoploss and a trailing take profit.
Safety Orders
Just like 3commas bots, you can create a strategy with up to 100 safety orders.
Configure their placement and order size using the price deviation, step scale, take profit type (from base order or total volume), and volume scale settings.
Note: only the 20 first safety order steps or so will be plotted due to graphic limiations. The steps after that still trigger alerts and backtest results.
Creating Alerts
The indicator is using the newest alert system:
1. Write your alert messages in the indicator settings (alert section at the bottom)
2. Click "Create Alert" as usual, but choose "alert() function calls only"
Data Window
Since the indicator is applied on top of the price chart, the oscillator indicators cannot be plotted. You can always add them on another pane but if you want to just see their values, you can use the Data Window to see the value of each oscillator on each bar.
Backtest settings
Used to get the results below:
Initial Capital: 100 000$
Base Order Size: 0.1 contract (BTC)
Safety Order Size: 0.1 contract (BTC)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 100 ticks
pyramiding: 6
The indicator settings are plotted in the main chart panel.
GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ GKD-C Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index
What is the Phase Change Index?
The Phase Change Index (PCI) is a technical indicator that has gained popularity among traders in recent years. It is used to identify market phases and make profitable trades based on momentum and price data. The PCI was developed by M.H. Pee and first introduced in the Stocks & Commodities magazine in 2004.
The PCI is calculated using the 35-day momentum and the 35-day price channel index (PCI). The momentum is the difference between the current day's close and the close 35 days ago, while the PCI measures the distance between the highest high and lowest low over a period of 35 days. By combining these two indicators, traders can identify six possible market phases, each with its own trading strategy.
The formula for calculating the Phase Change Index (PCI) is as follows:
PCI = 100 * (C - L) / (H - L)
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- L is the lowest low over a period of 35 days
- H is the highest high over a period of 35 days
The formula for calculating momentum is as follows:
Momentum = C - Cn
Where:
- C is the closing price of the current day
- Cn is the closing price n days ago, where n = 35 in this case.
The first two phases are characterized by negative momentum, with phase one having a low PCI value (less than 20) and phase two having a high PCI value (greater than 80). In these phases, traders should enter short positions. The next two phases have positive momentum, with phase three having a low PCI value and phase four having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should enter long positions.
The final two phases are characterized by neutral momentum, with phase five having a low PCI value and phase six having a high PCI value. In these phases, traders should maintain their previous positions until there is a clear signal to enter or exit.
Traders can also use other technical indicators in conjunction with the PCI to confirm signals or filter out false signals. For example, some traders use moving averages or trendlines to confirm trend direction before entering a trade based on the PCI.
In conclusion, the Phase Change Index is a powerful technical indicator that can help traders identify market phases and make profitable trades. By combining momentum and price data, traders can enter long or short positions based on the six possible market phases. Backtesting results have shown that the PCI is robust across parameters, markets, and years. However, it is important to use proper risk management and not rely solely on past profitability when making trading decisions.
What is the Jurik Filter?
The Jurik Filter is a technical analysis tool that is used to filter out market noise and identify trends in financial markets. It was developed by Mark Jurik in the 1990s and is based on a non-linear smoothing algorithm that provides a more accurate representation of price movements.
Traditional moving averages, such as the Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) or Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ), are linear filters that produce a lag between price and the moving average line. This can cause false signals during periods of market volatility , which can result in losses for traders and investors.
The Jurik Filter is designed to address this issue by incorporating a damping factor into the smoothing algorithm. This damping factor adjusts the filter's responsiveness to the changes in price, allowing it to filter out market noise without overshooting price peaks and valleys.
The Jurik Filter is calculated using a mathematical formula that takes into account the current and past prices of an asset, as well as the volatility of the market. This formula incorporates the damping factor and produces a smoother price curve than traditional moving average filters.
One of the advantages of the Jurik Filter is its ability to adjust to changing market conditions. The damping factor can be adjusted to suit different securities and time frames, making it a versatile tool for traders and investors.
Traders and investors often use the Jurik Filter in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as the MACD or RSI , to confirm or complement their trading strategies. By filtering out market noise and identifying trends in the financial markets, the Jurik Filter can help improve the accuracy of trading signals and reduce the risks of false signals during periods of market volatility .
Overall, the Jurik Filter is a powerful technical analysis tool that can help traders and investors make more informed decisions about buying and selling securities. By providing a smoother price curve and reducing false signals, it can help improve trading performance and reduce risk in volatile markets.
What is the Adaptive Lookback Period?
The adaptive lookback period is a technique used in technical analysis to adjust the period of an indicator based on changes in market conditions. This technique is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals.
The concept of the adaptive lookback period is relatively simple. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals. This can help traders to enter and exit trades at the right time and improve the profitability of their trading strategies.
The adaptive lookback period works by identifying potential swing points in the market. Once these points are identified, the lookback period is calculated based on the number of swings and a speed parameter. The swing count parameter determines the number of swings that must occur before the lookback period is adjusted. The speed parameter controls the rate at which the lookback period is adjusted, with higher values indicating a more rapid adjustment.
The adaptive lookback period can be applied to a wide range of technical indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines. By adjusting the period of these indicators based on changes in market conditions, traders can reduce the impact of noise and false signals, leading to more profitable trades.
In summary, the adaptive lookback period is a powerful technique for traders and analysts looking to optimize their technical indicators. By adjusting the period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades. While there are various ways to implement the adaptive lookback period, the basic concept remains the same, and traders can adapt and customize the technique to suit their individual needs and trading styles.
What is the Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index?
The combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is an effective technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, the adaptive lookback period can be used to adjust the period of the indicator based on changes in market conditions. Jurik filtering can then be used to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of the signals produced by the PCI indicator.
The adaptive lookback period is particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets where a fixed period may not be optimal for detecting trends or signals. By adjusting the lookback period based on changes in market conditions, traders can more accurately identify trends and signals, leading to more profitable trades.
Jurik filtering is a more advanced filtering technique that uses a combination of smoothing and phase shift to produce a more accurate signal. This technique is particularly useful in filtering out market noise and improving the accuracy of trading signals. Jurik filtering can be applied to various indicators, including moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines.
Overall, the combination of adaptive lookback and Jurik filtering is a powerful technique used in technical analysis to filter out market noise and improve the accuracy of trading signals. When applied to the Phase Change Index (PCI) indicator, this technique is particularly effective in identifying trend changes and producing more accurate signals for entry and exit points in trading strategies.
Keep in mind, this is an inverse indicator meaning that above the middle-line/signal is short, below is long.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
Heiken Ashi "better" candles are a modified version of the standard Heiken Ashi candles, which are a popular charting technique used in technical analysis. Heiken Ashi candles help traders identify trends and potential reversal points by smoothing out price data and reducing market noise. The "better formula" was proposed by Sebastian Schmidt in an article published by BNP Paribas in Warrants & Zertifikate, a German magazine, in August 2004. The aim of this formula is to further improve the smoothing of the Heiken Ashi chart and enhance its effectiveness in identifying trends and reversals.
Standard Heiken Ashi candles are calculated using the following formulas:
Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Heiken Ashi Open, Heiken Ashi Close)
The "better formula" modifies the standard Heiken Ashi calculation by incorporating additional smoothing, which can help reduce noise and make it easier to identify trends and reversals. The modified formulas for Heiken Ashi "better" candles are as follows:
Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Open + High + Low + Close) / 4
Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Previous Better Heiken Ashi Open + Previous Better Heiken Ashi Close) / 2
Better Heiken Ashi High = Max (High, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Better Heiken Ashi Low = Min (Low, Better Heiken Ashi Open, Better Heiken Ashi Close)
Smoothing Factor = 2 / (N + 1), where N is the chosen period for smoothing
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open = (Better Heiken Ashi Open * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close = (Better Heiken Ashi Close * Smoothing Factor) + (Previous Smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Close * (1 - Smoothing Factor))
The smoothed Better Heiken Ashi Open and Close values are then used to calculate the smoothed Better Heiken Ashi High and Low values, resulting in "better" candles that provide a clearer representation of the market trend and potential reversal points.
It's important to note that, like any other technical analysis tool, Heiken Ashi "better" candles are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make well-informed trading decisions.
Heiken Ashi "better" candles, as mentioned previously, provide a clearer representation of market trends and potential reversal points by reducing noise and smoothing out price data. When using these candles in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, traders can gain valuable insights into market behavior and make more informed decisions.
To effectively use Heiken Ashi "better" candles in your trading strategy, consider the following tips:
Trend Identification: Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you identify the prevailing trend in the market. When the majority of the candles are green (or another color, depending on your chart settings) and there are no or few lower wicks, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, when the majority of the candles are red (or another color) and there are no or few upper wicks, it may signal a strong downtrend.
Trend Reversals: Look for potential trend reversals when a change in the color of the candles occurs, especially when accompanied by longer wicks. For example, if a green candle with a long lower wick is followed by a red candle, it could indicate a bearish reversal. Similarly, a red candle with a long upper wick followed by a green candle may suggest a bullish reversal.
Support and Resistance: You can use Heiken Ashi "better" candles to identify potential support and resistance levels. When the candles are consistently moving in one direction and then suddenly change color with longer wicks, it could indicate the presence of a support or resistance level.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit: Using Heiken Ashi "better" candles can help you manage risk by determining optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels. For instance, you can place your stop-loss below the low of the most recent green candle in an uptrend or above the high of the most recent red candle in a downtrend.
Confirming Signals: Heiken Ashi "better" candles should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of your analysis.
In this implementation, you have the choice of AMA, KAMA, or T3 smoothing. These are as follows:
Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA)
The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) is a type of adaptive moving average used in technical analysis to smooth out price fluctuations and identify trends. The KAMA adjusts its smoothing factor based on the market's volatility, making it more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calm markets. The KAMA is calculated using three different efficiency ratios that determine the appropriate smoothing factor for the current market conditions. These ratios are based on the noise level of the market, the speed at which the market is moving, and the length of the moving average. The KAMA is a popular choice among traders who prefer to use adaptive indicators to identify trends and potential reversals.
Adaptive Moving Average
The Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average that adjusts its sensitivity to price movements based on market conditions. It uses a ratio between the current price and the highest and lowest prices over a certain lookback period to determine its level of smoothing. The AMA can help reduce lag and increase responsiveness to changes in trend direction, making it useful for traders who want to follow trends while avoiding false signals. The AMA is calculated by multiplying a smoothing constant with the difference between the current price and the previous AMA value, then adding the result to the previous AMA value.
T3
The T3 moving average is a type of technical indicator used in financial analysis to identify trends in price movements. It is similar to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), but uses a different smoothing algorithm.
The T3 moving average is calculated using a series of exponential moving averages that are designed to filter out noise and smooth the data. The resulting smoothed data is then weighted with a non-linear function to produce a final output that is more responsive to changes in trend direction.
The T3 moving average can be customized by adjusting the length of the moving average, as well as the weighting function used to smooth the data. It is commonly used in conjunction with other technical indicators as part of a larger trading strategy.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Adaptive-Lookback Phase Change Index as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

]█ Setting up the GKD
The GKD system involves chaining indicators together. These are the steps to set this up.
Use a GKD-C indicator alone on a chart
1. Inside the GKD-C indicator, change the "Confirmation Type" setting to "Solo Confirmation Simple"
Use a GKD-V indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Use a GKD-B indicator alone on a chart
**nothing, it's already useable on the chart without any settings changes
Baseline (Baseline, Backtest)
1. Import the GKD-B Baseline into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into Volatility/Volume or Backtest (Baseline testing)"
2. Inside the GKD-BT Backtest, change the setting "Backtest Special" to "Baseline"
Volatility/Volume (Volatility/Volume, Backte st)
1. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Testing Type" setting to "Solo"
2. Inside the GKD-V indicator, change the "Signal Type" setting to "Crossing" (neither traditional nor both can be backtested)
3. Import the GKD-V indicator into the GKD-BT Backtest: "Input into C1 or Backtest"

Smart Trend EnvelopeThe "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator is a powerful tool that combines the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator by LuxAlgo and the "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche.
This indicator provides valuable insights into price trends and projection confidence levels in financial markets. However, it's important to note that the indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact.
The "Strongest Trendline" indicator by Julien_Eche focuses on identifying the strongest trendlines using logarithmic transformations of price data. It calculates the slope, average, and intercept of each trendline over user-defined lengths. The indicator also provides standard deviation, Pearson's R correlation coefficient, and upper/lower deviation values to assess the strength and reliability of the trendlines.
In addition, the "Nadaraya-Watson Envelope " indicator developed by LuxAlgo utilizes the Nadaraya-Watson kernel regression technique. It applies a kernel function to smooth the price data and estimate future price movements. The indicator allows adjustment of the bandwidth parameter and multiplier to control the width of the envelope lines around the smoothed line.
Combining these two indicators, the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator offers traders and investors a comprehensive analysis of price trends and projection confidence levels. It automatically selects the strongest trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient. Traders can observe the trendlines on the price chart, along with upper and lower envelope lines generated by the Nadaraya-Watson smoothing technique.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has several qualities that make it a valuable tool for technical analysis:
1. Automatic Length Selection: The indicator dynamically selects the optimal trendline length based on the highest Pearson's R correlation coefficient, ensuring accurate trend analysis.
2. Projection Confidence Level: The indicator provides a projection confidence level ranging from "Ultra Weak" to "Ultra Strong." This allows traders to assess the reliability of the projected trend and make informed trading decisions.
3. Color-Coded Visualization: The indicator uses color schemes, such as teal and red, to highlight the direction of the trend and the corresponding envelope lines. This visual representation makes it easier to interpret the market trends at a glance.
4. Customizable Settings: Traders can adjust parameters such as bandwidth, multiplier, line color, and line width to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and preferences.
The "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator has been specifically designed and coded to be used in logarithmic scale. It takes advantage of the logarithmic scale's ability to represent exponential price movements accurately. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use this indicator with the chart set to logarithmic scale for optimal performance and reliable trend analysis, especially on higher timeframes.
It's important to remember that the "Smart Trend Envelope" indicator may repaint, meaning that the displayed results can change after the fact. Traders should use this indicator as a tool for generating trade ideas and confirmation, rather than relying solely on its historical values. Combining the indicator with other technical analysis tools and considering fundamental factors can lead to more robust trading strategies.
Auto Trend ProjectionAuto Trend Projection is an indicator designed to automatically project the short-term trend based on historical price data. It utilizes a dynamic calculation method to determine the slope of the linear regression line, which represents the trend direction. The indicator takes into account multiple length inputs and calculates the deviation and Pearson's R values for each length.
Using the highest Pearson's R value, Auto Trend Projection identifies the optimal length for the trend projection. This ensures that the projected trend aligns closely with the historical price data.
The indicator visually displays the projected trend using trendlines. These trendlines extend into the future, providing a visual representation of the potential price movement in the short term. The color and style of the trendlines can be customized according to user preferences.
Auto Trend Projection simplifies the process of trend analysis by automating the projection of short-term trends. Traders and investors can use this indicator to gain insights into potential price movements and make informed trading decisions.
Please note that Auto Trend Projection is not a standalone trading strategy but a tool to assist in trend analysis. It is recommended to combine it with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis.
Overall, Auto Trend Projection offers a convenient and automated approach to projecting short-term trends, empowering traders with valuable insights into the potential price direction.
Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/EntriesThe Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a custom trading strategy designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in trending markets. This indicator combines the strengths of multiple technical analysis tools, enhancing the effectiveness of the overall strategy.
Key features:
Two Supertrend Indicators - The indicator includes two Supertrend indicators with customizable parameters. These trend-following indicators calculate upper and lower trendlines based on the ATR and price. Buy signals are generated when the price crosses above both trendlines, and sell signals are generated when the price crosses below both trendlines.
ADX Filter - The Average Directional Index (ADX) is used to filter out weak trends and only generate buy/sell signals when the market exhibits a strong trend. The ADX measures the strength of the trend, and a customizable threshold level ensures that trades are only entered during strong trends.
ATR-based Exits and Entries - The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set profit target and stop-loss levels. ATR is a measure of market volatility, and these levels help traders determine when to exit a trade to secure profit or minimize loss.
Performance Statistics Table - A table is displayed on the chart, recording and showing the total number of winning trades, losing trades, percentage of profitable trades, average profit, and average loss. This information helps traders evaluate the performance of the strategy over time.
The Double Supertrend Entry with ADX Filter and ATR Exits/Entries indicator is a powerful trend-following strategy that can assist traders in making more informed decisions in the financial markets. By combining multiple technical analysis tools and providing performance statistics, this indicator helps traders improve their trading strategy and evaluate its success.
Fishing The Trend - Setup Classic v7.5.5FTT Classic v7.5.5
HOW Does it work ?
It is the classic version of Fishing The Trend-Setup for ease of trading & for getting the most from the market.
i.e. Combining the most useful indicators and making a whole setup under one roof...
FTT Classic comprises of following --
* IntraDay Range.
* Fishing The Trend.
* Custom VWAP.
* Baseband for Trend.
* Trendlines.
* Support & Resistance Lines.
* BreakOut Area.
* Technical Analysis table.
* Custom alerts.
1) HOW Does Intraday Range work ?
# For calculating the average most probable range for any symbol, it plots two areas - higher range and a lower range.
# This indicator is on - as default.
# Upper and Lower areas act as support and resistance, user may see a reversal in trend from these areas.
# If the price breaks these bands, breakout be considered.
# These bands are calculated by averaging the previous x number of days' high and low of the security.
3) HOW Does Fishing The Trend work ?
# When the market trend may try to reverse, the first signal/label will come showing Stop loss figure, and then if the trend reversal is confirmed, the supporting triangle in the next opening price will be placed at upper or lower side. along with these
there is a trailing stop-loss line, which will help user to trail their profits in-live.
# The CE-PE can be seen through the table with date and time.
# 2nd table also can be placed below the first one, showing the CE-PE Values for different symbol.
# Signals can be controlled by more or less as optioned in the settings.
# CE-PE strike price can be selected from ATM - ITM - OTM.
4) HOW Does Custom VWAP work ?
# VWAP will be placed having a line and current price of VWAP.
# One can have vwap in index chart also, the colour changes as the market goes above or below vwap or at vwap.
5) HOW Does Baseband for Trend work ?
# Baseband will be plotted for least 2 days on 3 min and gradually increases on increase of timeframe.
# If the market is above band, we may consider it a positive side and if market is below it, we may consider a negative side.
# Type 1 band is for trending market and type 2 is for rangebound market.
# Colour intensity also changes as market picks-up momentum or leaves momentum.
6) HOW Does Trendlines work ?
# Most nearest to most touching trendlines are placed for better understanding the trend.
# Easy to understand with the help of colour combinations.
7) HOW Does Support & Resistance Lines work ?
# The support & resistance lines will be drawn when market movement slows down or momentum decrease.
# The Support lines becomes resistance when market falls below it, and vice-versa for other conditions.
# Range development can be easily detected and can be used as range breakout for better understanding the market.
8) HOW Does BreakOut Area work ?
# Market Consolidates at most of the time, where the bulls and bears fight becomes more aggressive, at this point
of time the area will be formed or area will be formed when market trend reverses suddenly, leaving behind the previous
breakout area.
# Ease of trend reversal, previous supports / resistances can be seen easily.
9) HOW Does Technical Analysis table work ?
# There will be RSI displayed and for the better range detection, range area with price can be seen.
# The GAP of the opening market is seen with gap points (Down or Up)
10) HOW Does Custom alerts work ?
# Alerts can enabled for the CE-PE Strike Price through alerts management from Tradingview.
# Alerts can also be set when the Traffic Signal Comes.
Where to use?
# If the chart is of Index or equity, extended trading hours to be selected, time shall be exchange.
# Indicator wont work on timeframes lower than minutes or higher than or equal to day.
# can be used in every type of market.
# Extended to be selected for Index or Equities/Stocks, Regular be selected for futures, etc.
# At every part / portion the tooltip is placed showing the quick reference for that option.
# The main use of this indicator is quick scalping and Intra-day trading.
# Colour Theme can be selected if the chart theme is dark or light.
# The indicator shows a very useful option for early detection of the ongoing trend whether there will be reversal of trend or not ? Stop Loss - That should be done by following ones risk appetite, Ideally the High of the Previous Candle should be the stop loss for the Long / Short but everyone has their own Risk Management Strategies based on the capital deployed.
How to Take entry ?
# Time Frame shall be more than 2 min and less than day for better outcome.
# If buy signal comes and the market is below the baseband then wait for the market to cross and close above the baseband, also look for the immediate support or resistances which are seen in chart and those nearby the current signal.
# The data for the indicator will be very restricted, most of the parts in indicator wont work when the market closes.
# Pre-Opening or Post -Market data is tried to be ignored.
# Utmost Care is taken to implement the suggestions of users and also tried to keep the chart neat and clean.
** N.B.:- There may be cases where warning may come during setting the alert, this because
of alert conditions are taken ONLY when the current candle is CLOSED, real-time alerts are
considered as not feasible to get it.
Disclaimer
# The indicator to be used for understanding / learning the markets.
# User is responsible for his / her profits/losses, that may occur during the markets.
QuantRsi - Quantized Relative Strength Index - SNOW_CITY QuantRsi is a Relative Strength Indicator designed to improve on RSI's divergence confirmation. QuantRsi also functions as an entirely new type of range-bound oscillator, enabling "Hybrid TA" - the study and use of drawing tools on candles painted by the indicator.
QuantRsi paints full OHLC candles by default - displaying the full range of each candle's movement.
This tool sets out to accomplish:
Confirmation of divergence with a 3-anchor trading system
Show key price levels as whole numbers "quantized" from a scale of -10 to + 10; as well as commonly revisited levels within a trend
Anticipate divergence & turning points by charting on the indicator candles - trendlines can be drawn on indicator print - "Hybrid TA"
The result is an indicator able to process nonlinear price movements and draw range-bound candles with peaks and troughs that form repeating collisions with common tangents. QRsi illustrates trends and trend violations in a market with the advantage of behaving like a leading indicator. QRsi possesses a supreme ability to show divergence and confirm reversals/ turning points.
The dynamics of the vertical scale allows the formation of linear trends on the oscillator which classical charting can be applied. The support and resistance values for an asset will follow consistent incidents upon a tangent while the market is trending.
When a trend is violated, the break-up or break-down of price will revisit prior incidents both on frequented horizontal levels ("-1.4" or "+5.0") as well as tangent lines drawn from prior reversal points. Prior, violated trend-lines can be used as anchor points for a new linear trend - establishing a hypothetical market range before price moves into these hidden divergence zones.
Much like RSI, the extremes of a QRsi range (whether that be +/- 7,10 or the trend-established reversal value) are not always indicated turning points. Divergence does not occur at every turning point, but it does occur at most significant turning points.
Unlike RSI, QRsi adds the ability to visualize turning points outside divergence by drawing a trendline from prior turning points to the next anticipated turning point.
QRsi enables an asset to express it's price range within a flexible scale for that trend. The scaling has a higher dynamic range than classic RSI, at the expense of not filling the entire range of the oscillator at all times. An asset's highest and lowest trending values should be established by observation of prior visited values, not by the borders of the oscillator's range.
In the main chart example, trend-lines are drawn on the QuantRsi indicator for ETH/USD - Bitfinex 4H
Here is the same chart with notation:
The dashed trend-lines represent trends that have not been established yet. They turn solid when they have a second anchor(in primary chart).
Trendline violations create anchor points for new trendlines
Turning points with and without divergence depend entirely on asset's prior QRsi values, relative on relative.
In the above chart, Qrsi Value "2" is a common reversal value. In the chart period that is shown, selloff ensues shortly after QRsi reaches 2.
QRsi Values range from -10 to + 10. The boundaries represent the extremes of anticipated market range for that timeframe. Unlike traditional RSI, it is rare that an asset will range from the lowest to the highest boundaries. Instead, common values for that asset are observed by studying historical price data. A lower and upper range is established based on historical trends. When these values are hit, it represents an anchor for divergence. You will find that reversals can occur on the +/- 3, 5, 7 and 10 values frequently, although, this is indication without confirmation.
Depending on the timeframe and asset, the common turning point for an asset may be -2 & +5, with outliers to -5 & +7; or it may be -1.4 & +6.5 for an uptrending asset. The horizontal +/- QRsi values which turning points are likely to occur need to be established by studying the asset and verified by divergence or trend incident.
Confirmation is gained by observing the 3-anchor trading system:
1: Divergence - Locally
2: Trend incident or violation - charted patterns, linear ascending or descending trendlines.
3: Horizontal value incident
In the chart below, common horizontal turning points, divergence, and trendline violation are used as indicators for trading.
Observe how the same horizontal levels are visited as support and resistance depending on the direction of the trend prior to visiting that level.
Note how there are 2 coincidences of Trend / Horizontal / Divergence for most of the indicated trades:
This is the same chart, but with trades shown on the price chart as well as the QRsi chart:
And a simplified view of the same chart with Heffae Clouds enabled:
Notice how once a horizontal level is violated, it is often revisited which confirms it's role-change from S to R or R to S.
Weekly chart showing horizontal support level on lows, and divs for 4 prior All-Time-High's
Example of drawing a trend-line on QRsi and setting up a trade based off of a trend incident:
In the above example, the first two incidents are used as anchor points to reference where the third incident might occur.
In this case, you would have all 3 anchors, and a very successful trade with conformation of a proper entry prior to taking the trade.
Example of using a trend-line to set up trade continuation after divergence prints:
Example of how horizontal levels or ranges can be revisited after much time has passed. This also displays how divergences are used with horizontal levels to establish confidence in a trade:
Example of how QRsi values establish future support / resistance value ranges. Candle-wick sets future lower range:
Example of horizontal levels and divergence:
And, a drawing-free chart of QRsi with Heffae Clouds on BTCUSD Dec 2017 - Nov 2018 - Imagine your own TA on the QRsi.
SETTINGS:
TimeFrame settings:
"ChartTF" follows your chart's selected resolution / TimeFrame
"Non-Chart TimeFrame" is an integer for your custom TimeFrame, the setting below:
"Non-Chart TimeFrame" selects "Minutes, Hours, Days" that corresponds to the above setting for a custom TimeFrame.
Visual Settings:
"Show QuantRSI As Candles" - Toggle this to change from candlesticks to a simplified line. The line's value is determined by "Input for Stochastic" below
"Show Stoch QRSI" - Toggle this to switch to a Stochastic Rsi based off of the QRsi.
"Show Price Per 1.0" - Toggle this to see the range value, in chart denomination (USD,GBP,BTC,JPY) for each 1.0 step in the QRsi range for that timeframe. See this example:
The Quantization range values can be displayed by checking the box in settings "Show value per 1.0"
This will paint a colorless line and display the price value in the indicator's data window. You can calculate the rough price difference to any local value in QRsi by multiplying "value per 1.0" by the expected change in QRsi value.
Configuration Settings:
"Trend Bias" - Experimental setting for different asset classes and market conditions. Changes QRsi bias. Experiment with this on shorter timeframes. Leave on "low" unless you have established that different settings work better for a particular asset.
"Quant Preset" - This is similar to "Path Fitting Preset" on Heffae Clouds. Adjust this to print higher validity patterns on different assets.
The conformation that this setting is adjusted properly for your asset will be evident by backtesting the QRsi. BTC = 0 ETH / FOREX = 1 & 2
Experiment with this, as it adjusts the path-finding algo in order to paint valid patterns. The maths are too complex to integrate a single numerical adjustment, hence the preset.
"Upper/Lower Bounds" - This adjusts scaling and thresholds. Experimental only at this time. Use in conjunction with "Range Multiplier"
"Boundaries" - This adjusts the beginning of the shaded area on the top and bottom of the oscillator. Adjust this to a particular value instead of drawing a trendline on the value of interest. I added this because the shaded areas are easier to see on mobile than a trendline .
"Stochastic Short" - Adjust the length of Stochastic RSI SMA's
"Stochastic Long" - Adjust the length of Stochastic RSI SMA's
"Input for Stochastic" - Select the price source for Stoic & QRsi simplified line.
"Range Multiplier" - This amplifies the QRsi input to occupy a larger or smaller range within the oscillator boundaries. Experimental only at this time. Use in conjunction with "Upper/Lower Bounds". Very fun to play with.
That's all for now! I will do my best to keep this updated with new features / capabilities, as well as continuing to provide use examples and education for my indicators.
