Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!

Z Score Overlay [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A clean and effective Z-score overlay that visually tracks how far price deviates from its moving average. By standardizing price movements, this tool helps traders understand when price is statistically extended or compressed—up to ±4 standard deviations. The built-in scale and real-time bin markers offer immediate context on where price stands in relation to its recent mean.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Z Score Calculation:
Z = (Close − SMA) ÷ Standard Deviation
This formula shows how many standard deviations the current price is from its mean.
Statistical Extremes:
• Z > +2 or Z < −2 suggests statistically significant deviation.
• Z near 0 implies price is close to its average.
Standardization of Price Behavior: Makes it easier to compare volatility and overextension across timeframes and assets.
🔵 FEATURES
Colored Z Line: Gradient coloring based on how far price deviates—
• Red = oversold (−4),
• Green = overbought (+4),
• Yellow = neutral (~0).
Deviation Scale Bar: A vertical scale from −4 to +4 standard deviations plotted to the right of price.
Active Z Score Bin: Highlights the current Z-score bin with a “◀” arrow
Context Labels: Clear numeric labels for each Z-level from −4 to +4 along the side.
Live Value Display: Shows exact Z-score on the active level.
Non-intrusive Overlay: Can be applied directly to price chart without changing scaling behavior.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify overbought/oversold areas based on +2 / −2 thresholds.
Spot potential mean reversion trades when Z returns from extreme levels.
Confirm strong trends when price remains consistently outside ±2.
Use in multi-timeframe setups to compare strength across contexts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Z Score Overlay transforms raw price action into a normalized statistical view, allowing traders to easily assess deviation strength and mean-reversion potential. The intuitive scale and color-coded display make it ideal for traders seeking objective, volatility-aware entries and exits.
Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA OverlayThe "Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA Overlay" is a custom technical indicator designed to identify intermediate-term overbought and oversold conditions in the stock market, inspired by Edson Gould's original DTB methodology. This indicator combines three key components:
A 7-day advance-decline oscillator, a 20-day volume oscillator, and a 28-day DJIA price ratio, normalized into a composite index scaled around 110–135. Values below 110 signal potential oversold conditions, while values above 135 indicate overbought territory, aiding in timing market reversals.
The overlay of a normalized DJIA plot allows for visual correlation with the broader market trend. Use this tool to anticipate turning points in oscillating markets, though it’s best combined with other indicators for confirmation. Ideal for traders seeking probabilistic insights into bear or bull market transitions.
How to use -
If the DTB line (blue) and normalized DJIA (orange) are under the green dashed line, high probability for a long and reversal.
Use with the symbol SPX/QQQ

Gap % Distribution Table (2% Bins)Description
This indicator displays a Gap % Distribution Table categorized in 2% bins ranging from `< -20%` to `> +20%`. It calculates the gap between today’s open and the previous day’s close, and groups occurrences into defined bins. The table includes:
Gap range, count, and percentage for each bin
A total row summarizing all entries
Customizable appearance including:
Font color, cell background fill (with transparency), and table border color
Column headers and full outer border
Date filtering using selectable start and end dates
Position control for placing the table on the chart area
Ideal for analyzing the historical behavior of opening gaps for any instrument.
SIP Evaluator and Screener [Trendoscope®]The SIP Evaluator and Screener is a Pine Script indicator designed for TradingView to calculate and visualize Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) returns across multiple investment instruments. It is tailored for use in TradingView's screener, enabling users to evaluate SIP performance for various assets efficiently.
🎲 How SIP Works
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is an investment strategy where a fixed amount is invested at regular intervals (e.g., monthly or weekly) into a financial instrument, such as stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs. The goal is to build wealth over time by leveraging the power of compounding and mitigating the impact of market volatility through disciplined, consistent investing. Here’s a breakdown of how SIPs function:
Regular Investments : In an SIP, an investor commits to investing a fixed sum at predefined intervals, regardless of market conditions. This consistency helps inculcate a habit of saving and investing.
Cost Averaging : By investing a fixed amount regularly, investors purchase more units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high. This approach, known as dollar-cost averaging, reduces the average cost per unit over time and mitigates the risk of investing a large amount at a peak price.
Compounding Benefits : Returns generated from the invested amount (e.g., capital gains or dividends) are reinvested, leading to exponential growth over the long term. The longer the investment horizon, the greater the potential for compounding to amplify returns.
Dividend Reinvestment : In some SIPs, dividends received from the underlying asset can be reinvested to purchase additional units, further enhancing returns. Taxes on dividends, if applicable, may reduce the reinvested amount.
Flexibility and Accessibility : SIPs allow investors to start with small amounts, making them accessible to a wide range of individuals. They also offer flexibility in terms of investment frequency and the ability to adjust or pause contributions.
In the context of the SIP Evaluator and Screener , the script simulates an SIP by calculating the number of units purchased with each fixed investment, factoring in commissions, dividends, taxes and the chosen price reference (e.g., open, close, or average prices). It tracks the cumulative investment, equity value, and dividends over time, providing a clear picture of how an SIP would perform for a given instrument. This helps users understand the impact of regular investing and make informed decisions when comparing different assets in TradingView’s screener. It offers insights into key metrics such as total invested amount, dividends received, equity value, and the number of installments, making it a valuable resource for investors and traders interested in understanding long-term investment outcomes.
🎲 Key Features
Customizable Investment Parameters: Users can define the recurring investment amount, price reference (e.g., open, close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4), and whether fractional quantities are allowed.
Commission Handling: Supports both fixed and percentage-based commission types, adjusting calculations accordingly.
Dividend Reinvestment: Optionally reinvests dividends after a user-specified period, with the ability to apply tax on dividends.
Time-Bound Analysis: Allows users to set a start year for the analysis, enabling historical performance evaluation.
Flexible Dividend Periods: Dividends can be evaluated based on bars, days, weeks, or months.
Visual Outputs: Plots key metrics like total invested amount, dividends, equity value, and remainder, with customizable display options for clarity in the data window and chart.
🎲 Using the script as an indicator on Tradingview Supercharts
In order to use the indicator on charts, do the following.
Load the instrument of your choice - Preferably a stable stocks, ETFs.
Chose monthly timeframe as lower timeframes are insignificant in this type of investment strategy
Load the indicator SIP Evaluator and Screener and set the input parameters as per your preference.
Indicator plots, investment value, dividends and equity on the chart.
🎲 Visualizations
Installments : Displays the number of SIP installments (gray line, visible in the data window).
Invested Amount : Shows the cumulative amount invested, excluding reinvested dividends (blue area plot).
Dividends : Tracks total dividends received (green area plot).
Equity : Represents the current market value of the investment based on the closing price (purple area plot).
Remainder : Indicates any uninvested cash after each installment (gray line, visible in the data window).
🎲 Deep dive into the settings
The SIP Evaluator and Screener offers a range of customizable settings to tailor the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) simulation to your preferences. Below is an explanation of each setting, its purpose, and how it impacts the analysis:
🎯 Duration
Start Year (Default: 2020) : Specifies the year from which the SIP calculations begin. When Start Year is enabled via the timebound option, the script only considers data from the specified year onward. This is useful for analyzing historical SIP performance over a defined period. If disabled, the script uses all available data.
Timebound (Default: False) : A toggle to enable or disable the Start Year restriction. When set to False, the SIP calculation starts from the earliest available data for the instrument.
🎯 Investment
Recurring Investment (Default: 1000.0) : The fixed amount invested in each SIP installment (e.g., $1000 per period). This represents the regular contribution to the SIP and directly influences the total invested amount and quantity purchased.
Allow Fractional Qty (Default: True) : When enabled, the script allows the purchase of fractional units (e.g., 2.35 shares). If disabled, only whole units are purchased (e.g., 2 shares), with any remaining funds carried forward as Remainder. This setting impacts the precision of investment allocation.
Price Reference (Default: OPEN): Determines the price used for purchasing units in each SIP installment. Options include:
OPEN : Uses the opening price of the bar.
CLOSE : Uses the closing price of the bar.
HL2 : Uses the average of the high and low prices.
HLC3 : Uses the average of the high, low, and close prices.
OHLC4 : Uses the average of the open, high, low, and close prices. This setting affects the cost basis of each purchase and, consequently, the total quantity and equity value.
🎯 Commission
Commission (Default: 3) : The commission charged per SIP installment, expressed as either a fixed amount (e.g., $3) or a percentage (e.g., 3% of the investment). This reduces the amount available for purchasing units.
Commission Type (Default: Fixed) : Specifies how the commission is calculated:
Fixed ($) : A flat fee is deducted per installment (e.g., $3).
Percentage (%) : A percentage of the investment amount is deducted as commission (e.g., 3% of $1000 = $30). This setting affects the net amount invested and the overall cost of the SIP.
🎯 Dividends
Apply Tax On Dividends (Default: False) : When enabled, a tax is applied to dividends before they are reinvested or recorded. The tax rate is set via the Dividend Tax setting.
Dividend Tax (Default: 47) : The percentage of tax deducted from dividends if Apply Tax On Dividends is enabled (e.g., 47% tax reduces a $100 dividend to $53). This reduces the amount available for reinvestment or accumulation.
Reinvest Dividends After (Default: True, 2) : When enabled, dividends received are reinvested to purchase additional units after a specified period (e.g., 2 units of time, defined by Dividends Availability). If disabled, dividends are tracked but not reinvested. Reinvestment increases the total quantity and equity over time.
Dividends Availability (Default: Bars) : Defines the time unit for evaluating when dividends are available for reinvestment. Options include:
Bars : Based on the number of chart bars.
Weeks : Based on weeks.
Months : Based on months (approximated as 30.5 days). This setting determines the timing of dividend reinvestment relative to the Reinvest Dividends After period.
🎯 How Settings Interact
These settings work together to simulate a realistic SIP. For example, a $1000 recurring investment with a 3% commission and fractional quantities enabled will calculate the number of units purchased at the chosen price reference after deducting the commission. If dividends are reinvested after 2 months with a 47% tax, the script fetches dividend data, applies the tax, and adds the net dividend to the investment amount for that period. The Start Year and Timebound settings ensure the analysis aligns with the desired timeframe, while the Dividends Availability setting fine-tunes dividend reinvestment timing.
By adjusting these settings, users can model different SIP scenarios, compare performance across instruments in TradingView’s screener, and gain insights into how commissions, dividends, and price references impact long-term returns.
🎲 Using the script with Pine Screener
The main purpose of developing this script is to use it with Tradingview Pine Screener so that multiple ETFs/Funds can be compared.
In order to use this as a screener, the following things needs to be done.
Add SIP Evaluator and Screener to your favourites (Required for it to be added in pine screener)
Create a watch list containing required instruments to compare
Open pine screener from Tradingview main menu Products -> Screeners -> Pine or simply load the URL - www.tradingview.com
Select the watchlist created from Watchlist dropdown.
Chose the SIP Evaluator and Screener from the "Choose Indicator" dropdown
Set timeframe to 1 month and update settings as required.
Press scan to display collected data on the screener.
🎲 Use Case
This indicator is ideal for educational purposes, allowing users to experiment with SIP strategies across different instruments. It can be applied in TradingView’s screener to compare SIP performance for stocks, ETFs, or other assets, helping users understand how factors like commissions, dividends, and price references impact returns over time.

## Continuous Position Signals Implementation
The LongShortExit strategy can be enhanced with continuous position signals to provide visual feedback about the current position state. These signals can help you track when the strategy is in a long or short position.
### Adding Continuous Position Signals
Add the following code to implement continuous position signals (0 to 1):
```pine
// Continuous position signals (0 to 1)
var float longSignal = 0.0
var float shortSignal = 0.0
// Update position signals based on your indicator's conditions
longSignal := longCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := shortCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
// Plot continuous signals
plot(longSignal, title="Long Signal", color=#00FF00, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
plot(shortSignal, title="Short Signal", color=#FF0000, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
```
### Benefits of Continuous Position Signals
- Provides clear visual feedback of current position state (long/short)
- Signal values stay consistent (0 or 1) until condition changes
- Can be used for additional calculations or alert conditions
- Makes it easier to track when entry conditions are triggered
### Using with Custom Indicators
You can adapt the continuous position signals to work with any custom indicator by replacing the condition with your indicator's logic:
```pine
// Example with moving average crossover
longSignal := fastMA > slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := fastMA < slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
```
## Webhook Integration
The LongShortExit strategy is fully compatible with TradingView's webhook alerts, allowing you to connect your strategy to external trading platforms, brokers, or custom applications for automated trading execution.
### Setting Up Webhooks
1. Create an alert on your chart with the LongShortExit strategy
2. Enable the "Webhook URL" option in the alert dialog
3. Enter your webhook endpoint URL (from your broker or custom trading system)
4. Customize the alert message with relevant information using TradingView variables
### Webhook Message Format Example
```json
{
"strategy": "LongShortExit",
"action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"price": "{{strategy.order.price}}",
"quantity": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"time": "{{time}}",
"ticker": "{{ticker}}",
"position_size": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"position_value": "{{strategy.position_value}}",
"order_id": "{{strategy.order.id}}",
"order_comment": "{{strategy.order.comment}}"
}
```
### TradingView Alert Condition Examples
For effective webhook automation, set up these alert conditions:
#### Entry Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} != {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Exit Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} < {{strategy.position_size}} or {{strategy.position_size}} > {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Partial Take Profit Alert
```
strategy.order.comment contains "Partial TP"
```
### Benefits of Webhook Integration
- **Automated Trading**: Execute trades automatically through supported brokers
- **Cross-Platform**: Connect to custom trading bots and applications
- **Real-Time Notifications**: Receive trade signals on external platforms
- **Data Collection**: Log trade data for further analysis
- **Custom Order Management**: Implement advanced order types not available in TradingView
### Compatible External Applications
- Trading bots and algorithmic trading software
- Custom order execution systems
- Discord, Telegram, or Slack notification systems
- Trade journaling applications
- Risk management platforms
### Implementation Recommendations
- Test webhook delivery using a free service like webhook.site before connecting to your actual trading system
- Include authentication tokens or API keys in your webhook URL or payload when required by your external service
- Consider implementing confirmation mechanisms to verify trade execution
- Log all webhook activities for troubleshooting and performance tracking
## Strategy Customization Tips
### For Scalping
- Set smaller profit targets (1-3 points)
- Use tighter stop-losses
- Enable break-even feature after small profit
- Set higher max trades per day
### For Day Trading
- Use moderate profit targets
- Implement partial profit taking
- Enable trailing stops
- Set reasonable session trading hours
### For Swing Trading
- Use longer-term charts
- Set wider stops (ATR-based often works well)
- Use higher profit targets
- Disable daily streak reset
## Common Troubleshooting
### Low Win Rate
- Consider widening stop-losses
- Verify that entry conditions aren't triggering too frequently
- Check if the equals condition is too restrictive; consider small tolerances
### Missing Obvious Trades
- The equals condition is extremely precise. Price must exactly match the specified value.
- Consider using floating-point precision for more reliable triggers
### Frequent Stop-Outs
- Try ATR-based stops instead of fixed points
- Increase the stop-loss distance
- Enable break-even feature to protect profits
## Important Notes
- The exact equals condition is strict and may result in fewer trade signals compared to other conditions.
- For instruments with decimal prices, exact equality might be rare. Consider the precision of your value.
- Break-even and trailing stop calculations are based on points, not percentage.
- Partial take-profit levels are defined in points distance from entry.
- The continuous position signals (0 to 1) provide valuable visual feedback but don't affect the strategy's trading logic directly.
- When implementing continuous signals, ensure they're aligned with the actual entry conditions used by the strategy.

M2 Liquidity Divergence ModelM2 Liquidity Divergence Model
The M2 Liquidity Divergence Model is a macro-aware visualization tool designed to compare shifts in global liquidity (M2) against the performance of a benchmark asset (default: Bitcoin). This script captures liquidity flows across major global economies and highlights whether price action is aligned ("Agreement") or diverging ("Divergence") from macro trends.
🔍 Core Features
M2 Global Liquidity Index (GLI):
Aggregates M2 money supply from major global economies, FX-adjusted, including extended contributors like India, Brazil, and South Africa. The slope of this composite is used to infer macro liquidity trends.
Lag Offset Control:
Allows the M2 signal to lead benchmark asset price by a configurable number of days (Lag Offset), useful for modeling the forward-looking nature of macro flows.
Gradient Macro Context (Background):
Displays a color-gradient background—aqua for expansionary liquidity, fuchsia for contraction—based on the slope and volatility of M2. This contextual backdrop helps users visually anchor price action within macro shifts.
Divergence Histogram (Optional):
Plots a histogram showing dynamic correlation or divergence between the liquidity index and the selected benchmark.
Agreement Mode: M2 and asset are moving together.
Divergence Mode: Highlights break in expected macro-asset alignment.
Adaptive Transparency Scaling:
Histogram and background gradients scale their visual intensity based on statistical deviation to emphasize stronger signals.
Toggle Options:
Show/hide the M2 Liquidity Index line.
Show/hide divergence histogram.
Enable/disable visual offset of M2 to benchmark.
🧠 Suggested Usage
Macro Positioning: Use the background context to align directional trades with macro liquidity flows.
Disagreement as Signal: Use divergence plots to identify when price moves against macro expectations—potential reversal or exhaustion zones.
Time-Based Alignment: Adjust Lag Offset to synchronize M2 signals with asset price behavior across different market conditions.

LMAsLibrary "LMAs"
Credits
Thank you to @QuantraSystems for dynamic calculations.
Introduction
This lightweight library offers dynamic implementations of popular moving averages that adapt their length automatically as new bars are added to the chart.
Each function is built on a dynamic length formula:
len = math.min(maxLength, bar_index + 1)
This approach ensures that calculations begin as early as the first bar, allowing for smoother initialization and more consistent behavior across all timeframes. It’s especially useful in custom scripts that run from bar 0 or when historical data is limited.
Usage
You can use this library as a drop-in replacement for standard moving averages. It provides more flexibility and stability in live or backtesting environments where fixed-length indicators may delay or fail to initialize properly.
Why Use This?
• Works from the very first bar
• Avoids na values during early bars
• Great for real-time indicators, strategies, and bar-replay
• Clean and efficient code with dynamic behavior
How to Use
Import the library into your script and call any of the included functions just like you would with their native counterparts.
Summary
A lightweight Pine Script™ library offering dynamic moving averages that work seamlessly from the very first bar. Ideal for strategies and indicators requiring robust initialization and adaptive behavior.

TAIndicatorsThis library offers a comprehensive suite of enhanced technical indicator functions, building upon TradingView's built-in indicators. The primary advantage of this library is its expanded flexibility, allowing you to select from a wider range of moving average types for calculations and smoothing across various indicators.
The core difference between these functions and TradingView's standard ones is the ability to specify different moving average types beyond the default. While a standard ta.rsi() is fixed, the rsi() in this library, for example, can be smoothed by an 'SMMA (RMA)', 'WMA', 'VWMA', or others, giving you greater control over your analysis.
█ FEATURES
This library provides enhanced versions of the following popular indicators:
Moving Average (ma): A versatile MA function that includes optional secondary smoothing and Bollinger Bands.
RSI (rsi): Calculate RSI with an optional smoothed signal line using various MA types, plus built-in divergence detection.
MACD (macd): A MACD function where you can define the MA type for both the main calculation and the signal line.
ATR (atr): An ATR function that allows for different smoothing types.
VWAP (vwap): A comprehensive anchored VWAP with multiple configurable bands.
ADX (adx): A standard ADX calculation.
Cumulative Volume Delta (cvd): Provides CVD data based on a lower timeframe.
Bollinger Bands (bb): Create Bollinger Bands with a customizable MA type for the basis line.
Keltner Channels (kc): Keltner Channels with selectable MA types and band styles.
On-Balance Volume (obv): An OBV indicator with an optional smoothed signal line using various MA types.
... and more to come! This library will be actively maintained, with new useful indicator functions added over time.
█ HOW TO USE
To use this library in your scripts, import it using its publishing link. You can then call the functions directly.
For example, to calculate a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) and then smooth it with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) :
import ActiveQuants/TAIndicators/1 as tai
// Calculate a 20-period WMA of the close
// Then, smooth the result with a 10-period SMA
= tai.ma("WMA", close, 20, "SMA", 10)
plot(myWma, color = color.blue)
plot(smoothedWma, color = color.orange)
█ Why Choose This Library?
If you're looking for more control and customization than what's offered by the standard built-in functions, this library is for you. By allowing for a variety of smoothing methods across multiple indicators, it enables a more nuanced and personalized approach to technical analysis. Fine-tune your indicators to better fit your trading style and strategies.
Deviation Trend Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A statistical trend analysis tool that combines moving average dynamics with standard deviation zones and trend-specific price distribution.
This is an experimental indicator designed for educational and learning purposes only.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Detection via SMA Slope: Detects trend shifts when the slope of the SMA exceeds a ±0.1 threshold.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates ±1, ±2, and ±3 levels from the SMA using ATR, forming dynamic envelopes around the mean.
Trend Distribution Profile: Builds a histogram that shows how often price closed within each deviation zone during the active trend phase.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Signals: Immediate shift markers using colored circles at trend reversals.
SMA Gradient Coloring: The SMA line dynamically changes color based on its directional slope.
Trend Duration Label: A label above the histogram shows how many bars the current trend has lasted.
Trend Distribution Histogram: Visual bin-based profile showing frequency of price closes within deviation bands during trend lookback period.
Adjustable Bin Count: Set the granularity of the distribution using the “Bins Amount” input.
Deviation Labels and Zones: Clearly marked ±1, ±2, ±3 lines with consistent color scheme.
Trend Strength Insight:
• Wide profile skewed to ±2/3 = strong directional trend.
• Profile clustered near SMA = potential trend exhaustion or range.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use trend shift dots as entry signals:
• 🔵 = Bullish start
• 🔴 = Bearish start
Trade with the trend when price clusters in outer zones (±2 or ±3).
Be cautious or fade the trend when price distribution contracts toward the SMA.
View across multiple timeframes for trend confluence or divergence.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Deviation Trend Profile visualizes how price distributes during trends relative to statistical deviation zones.
It’s a powerful confluence tool for identifying strength, exhaustion, and the rhythm of price behavior—ideal for swing traders and volatility analysts alike.

Adaptive Multi-MA OptimizerAdaptive Multi-MA Optimizer
This indicator provides a powerful, customizable solution for traders seeking dynamically optimized moving averages with precision and control. It integrates multiple custom-built moving average types, applies real-time volatility-based optimization, and includes an optional composite smoothing engine.
🧠 Key Features
Dynamic Optimization:
Automatically selects the optimal lookback length based on market volatility stability using a custom standard deviation differential model.
Multiple Custom MA Types:
Includes fully custom implementations of:
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted MA)
DEMA (Double EMA)
TEMA (Triple EMA)
Hull MA
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux MA)
Composite MA Option:
A unique "Composite" mode blends all supported MAs into a single average, then applies optional smoothing for enhanced signal clarity.
Dynamic Smoothing:
The composite mode supports volatility-adjusted smoothing (based on optimized lookback), making it adaptable to different market regimes.
Fully Custom Logic:
No built-in MA functions are used — every moving average is hand-coded for transparency and educational value.
⚙️ How It Works
Optimization:
The script evaluates a range of lengths (minLen to maxLen) using the standard deviation of price returns. It selects the length with the most stable recent volatility profile.
Calculation:
The selected MA type is calculated using that optimized length. If "Composite" is chosen, all MA types are averaged and smoothed dynamically.
Visualization:
The adaptive MA is plotted on the chart, changing color based on its position relative to price.
📌 Use Cases
Trend-following strategies that adapt to different market conditions.
Traders wanting a high-fidelity composite of multiple MAs.
Analysts interested in visualizing market smoothness without lag-heavy signals.
Coders looking to learn how to build custom indicators from scratch.
🧪 Inputs
MA Type: Choose from 8 MA types or a blended Composite.
Lookback Range: Control min/max and step size for optimization.
Source: Choose any price series (e.g., close, hl2).
⚠️ Disclaimer

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always perform your own analysis and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making trading decisions.
Adaptive Normalized Global Liquidity OscillatorAdaptive Normalized Global Liquidity Oscillator
A dynamic, non-repainting oscillator built on real central bank balance sheet data. This tool visualizes global liquidity shifts by aggregating monetary asset flows from the world’s most influential central banks.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Aggregates Global Liquidity:
Includes Federal Reserve (FED) assets and subtracts liabilities like the Treasury General Account (TGA) and Reverse Repo Facility (RRP), combined with asset positions from the ECB, BOJ, PBC, BOE, and over 10 other central banks. All data is normalized into USD using FX rates.
Adaptive Normalization:
Optimizes the lookback period dynamically based on rate-of-change stability—no fixed lengths, enabling adaptation across macro conditions.
Self-Optimizing Weighting:
Applies inverse standard deviation to balance raw liquidity, smoothed momentum (HMA), and standardized deviation from the mean.
Percentile-Ranked Highlights:
Liquidity readings are ranked relative to history—extremes are visually emphasized using gradient color and adaptive transparency.
Non-Repainting Design:
Data is anchored with bar index awareness and offset techniques, ensuring no forward-looking bias. What you see is what was known at that time.
⚠️ Important Interpretation Note:
This is not a zero-centered oscillator like RSI or MACD. The signal line does not represent neutrality at zero.
Instead, a dynamic baseline is calculated using a rolling mean of scaled liquidity.
0 is irrelevant on its own—true directional signals come from crosses above or below this adaptive baseline.
Even negative values may signal strength if they are rising above the moving average of past liquidity conditions.
✅ What to Watch For:
Crossover Above Dynamic Baseline:
Indicates liquidity is expanding relative to recent conditions—supports a risk-on interpretation.
Crossover Below Dynamic Baseline:
Suggests deteriorating liquidity conditions—may align with risk-off shifts.
Percentile Extremes:
Readings near the top or bottom historical percentiles can act as contrarian or confirmation signals, depending on momentum.
⚙️ How It Works:
Bounded Normalization:
The final oscillator is passed through a tanh function, keeping values within and reducing distortion.
Adaptive Transparency:
The strength of deviations dynamically adjusts plot intensity—visually highlighting stronger liquidity shifts.
Fully Customizable:
Toggle which banks are included, adjust dynamic optimization ranges, and control visual display options for plot and background layers.
🧠 How to Use:
Trend Confirmation:
Sustained rises in the oscillator above baseline suggest underlying monetary support for asset prices.
Macro Turning Points:
Reversals or divergences, especially near OB/OS zones, can foreshadow broader risk regime changes.
Visual Context:
Use the dynamic baseline to see if liquidity is supportive or suppressive relative to its own adaptive history.
