1. ORIGINAL VOLUME ZONE OSCILLATOR (VZO) BACKGROUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: Walid Khalil (November 2009, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities)
History: Khalil designed the VZO to address limitations in other volume indicators
by focusing on the relative balance between buying and selling volume while filtering
out market noise. The indicator identifies accumulation and distribution patterns.
Traditional Usage: The classic VZO uses a 14-period calculation setting and is
interpreted on a scale from -60% to +60%:
- Readings above +40% indicate strong buying pressure (potential overbought)
- Readings below -40% indicate strong selling pressure (potential oversold)
- The zero line acts as a key reference for trend changes
- Divergences between VZO and price offer valuable trading signals
Difference from Other Volume Indicators: Unlike simple volume indicators that only
track total volume, the VZO tracks the relative difference between up-volume and
down-volume, more effectively identifying buying/selling pressure imbalances and
potential reversal points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUPERSMOOTHER FILTER TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: John F. Ehlers, an engineer specializing in digital signal processing for
trading systems.
Origins: Introduced in "Rocket Science for Traders" (2001) and refined in "Cybernetic
Analysis for Stocks and Futures" (2004). Represents the application of digital signal
processing techniques to financial markets.
Technical Foundation: The SuperSmoother is a two-pole low-pass filter specifically
designed to eliminate noise while preserving the underlying signal. It combines
principles of Butterworth and Gaussian filters to minimize both phase shift and
passband ripple.
Mathematical Implementation:
a1 = exp(-π * sqrt(2) / period)
b1 = 2 * a1 * cos(sqrt(2) * π / period)
c2 = b1
c3 = -a1²
c1 = 1 - c2 - c3
Advantages Over Traditional Filters:
- Reduces lag compared to simple moving averages
- Eliminates high-frequency market noise more effectively
- Minimizes unwanted ripples in the output signal
- Preserves important turning points in the data
- Superior handling of sudden market movements
According to Ehlers: "Conventional moving averages are plagued by excessive lag and/or
rippling in their passband. The SuperSmoother eliminates virtually all of this ripple
and has excellent transient response characteristics." (TASC Magazine, 2014)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. SSVZO COMPONENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1. MAIN SSVZO OSCILLATOR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: The core component measuring buying vs. selling volume pressure using
the SuperSmoother filter for enhanced noise reduction.
Calculation: SSVZO analyzes the relationship between up-volume (volume on rising
prices) and down-volume (volume on falling prices), applying exponential moving
averages to both components, then calculating their relative strength. The
SuperSmoother filter reduces market noise while preserving the underlying trend signal.
Implementation Advantage: By applying the SuperSmoother filter to the VZO calculation,
the SSVZO provides significantly cleaner signals with fewer false crossovers and more
accurate identification of true trend changes.
Interpretation:
- Values above zero indicate bullish volume dominance
- Values below zero indicate bearish volume dominance
- Readings above +60 suggest overbought conditions
- Readings below -60 suggest oversold conditions
- Crossovers of the zero line signal potential trend changes
Trading Application: Use SSVZO as a primary volume-based momentum indicator to
confirm price trends, identify divergences, and spot potential reversal zones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2. MOMENTUM VELOCITY COMPONENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: A histogram displaying the rate of change of momentum, showing how
quickly buying or selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
Calculation: Derived from price momentum over a user-defined period, with optional
adaptive filtering that adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility. The velocity
component shows the first derivative of momentum – essentially the "acceleration" of
market movement.
Technical Origin: Inspired by Ehlers' work on Hilbert Transforms and research on
cyclic components in financial markets, as detailed in "Cycle Analytics for Traders"
(2013).
Interpretation:
- Positive readings (teal bars) indicate accelerating upward momentum
- Negative readings (orange bars) suggest accelerating downward momentum
- Larger bars indicate stronger momentum acceleration
- Shrinking bars signal momentum deceleration
Trading Application: Use as an early warning system for potential trend exhaustion
or confirmation of a new trending move. When momentum velocity diverges from price,
it often precedes a reversal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3. ADAPTIVE LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Dynamic overbought and oversold boundaries that adjust to market
conditions, providing context-aware trading signals.
Calculation: Uses statistical methods based on the standard deviation of the SSVZO
values over a longer period. These levels automatically widen during higher volatility
periods and narrow during consolidation.
Research Base: Draws from Perry Kaufman's work on Adaptive Moving Averages (AMA) and
Bollinger's research on dynamic volatility bands, as published in "Trading Systems
and Methods" (2013).
Interpretation:
- Adaptive Overbought (dotted circles above): Dynamic ceiling that expands/contracts
based on market volatility
- Adaptive Oversold (dotted circles below): Dynamic floor that expands/contracts based
on market volatility
Trading Application: More reliable for identifying extremes than static levels,
particularly in changing market conditions or different instruments. Touching these
levels often provides higher-probability reversal signals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. STATIC LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Fixed overbought and oversold horizontal lines that provide consistent
reference points for excess market conditions.
Calculation: Preset at +60 (overbought) and -60 (oversold) based on historical
analysis of volume behavior across multiple markets, extending the classic VZO range.
Interpretation:
- Readings above +60 suggest potential buying exhaustion
- Readings below -60 indicate potential selling exhaustion
- Duration spent beyond these levels correlates with reversal probability
Trading Application: Use as baseline reference points for extreme conditions. Most
effective when combined with other confirmation signals like divergences or
candlestick patterns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5. TREND SHIFT DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Visual markers and optional background shading highlighting potential
trend changes when the SSVZO crosses the zero line.
Calculation: Based on mathematical crossovers of the SSVZO value above or below the
zero line, with pattern recognition to reduce false signals.
Research Foundation: Incorporates concepts from Dr. Alexander Elder's "triple screen
trading system" and Mark Chaikin's volume-based trend identification research.
Interpretation:
- Upward triangles indicate bullish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing above zero)
- Downward triangles indicate bearish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing below zero)
- Background shading emphasizes the new trend direction
Trading Application: These signals often precede price trend changes and can serve
as entry triggers when aligned with the higher timeframe trend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6. GLOW EFFECT VISUALIZATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: An aesthetic enhancement creating a gradient "glow" around the main SSVZO
line, improving visual clarity and emphasizing signal strength.
Calculation: Generated using percentage-based bands around the main SSVZO value, with
multiple translucent layers to create a subtle illumination effect.
Design Inspiration: Inspired by modern UI/UX design principles for financial
dashboards and the MATS (Moving Average Trend Sniper) indicator's visual presentation,
enhancing perception of signal strength through visual intensity.
Interpretation:
- Teal glow indicates positive SSVZO values (bullish)
- Orange glow indicates negative SSVZO values (bearish)
- Glow intensity correlates with the strength of the signal
Trading Application: Beyond aesthetics, the glow creates visual emphasis that makes
trend direction, strength, and changes more immediately apparent, particularly useful
during fast-moving market conditions.

Technicalindicators
NexAlgo AI with Dynamic TP/SLThe NexAlgo Indicator combines a Gaussian kernel regression engine with adaptive volatility thresholds to generate clear, data‑driven trade signals and built‑in risk levels. It predicts the next bar’s price relative to a simple moving average, then measures the average deviation between actual and forecasted values to form dynamic bands. Breakouts beyond these bands, aligned with the prediction’s direction, produce buy or sell signals directly on your chart.
How It Works & What You’ll See
Kernel Regression Forecast: A rolling “lookback” window builds a Gaussian similarity matrix of recent prices. This matrix is used to project the next price, smoothing around a moving average.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: The indicator computes the mean absolute error between actual and predicted prices, multiplies it by your chosen volatility factor, and plots upper and lower bands.
Signal Triggers: When price closes above the upper band while the prediction is rising, a green “BUY” label appears; when price closes below the lower band as the forecast falls, a red “SELL” label is shown.
Automatic SL/TP Levels: After each signal, the script scans recent swing highs/lows and applies an ATR buffer. Stop‑loss is set conservatively at the more protective of these levels, while take‑profit is calculated by your reward‑to‑risk ratio and capped near the opposite swing extreme.
Customizable Inputs
Lookback Period & Smoothing: Adjust how many bars the regression and volatility calculations use, and tune the noise regularization to suit fast or slow markets.
Volatility Multiplier: Widen or tighten the adaptive bands to control signal frequency and confidence.
Swing Lookback & ATR Options: Define how far back the indicator searches for swing points, and choose between ATR calculation methods.
Reward‑to‑Risk Ratio: Set your preferred multiple of stop‑loss distance for take‑profit targets.
What Makes NexAlgo Different
Hybrid Statistical Approach: Unlike fixed‑period moving averages or standard regression, the Gaussian kernel adapts locally to evolving price patterns and regimes.
Self‑Adjusting Thresholds: Volatility bands derive from prediction errors—so they expand in choppy markets and contract in trending conditions.
Integrated Risk Controls: Automatically calculated stop‑loss and take‑profit levels remove manual guesswork, yet remain grounded in both ATR and price structure.
Trader‑Driven Flexibility: Every parameter—from lookback length to risk ratio—can be dialed in for scalping, swing trading, or longer‑term strategies.
Getting Started
• Apply NexAlgo to your preferred timeframe (5–15 min for intraday scalps, 1 h–4 h for swings, daily for position plays).
• Begin with default settings and gradually adjust lookback and smoothing to balance responsiveness versus noise.
• Experiment with volatility multipliers: tighten in strong trends, widen when markets churn.
• Backtest different ATR buffers and reward ratios to discover your ideal risk‑reward profile.
Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.

Fisher Transform on RSIOverview
The Fisher Transform on RSI indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fisher Transform to offer a refined tool for identifying market turning points and trends. By applying the Fisher Transform to the RSI, this indicator converts RSI values into a Gaussian normal distribution, enhancing the precision of detecting overbought and oversold conditions. This method provides a clearer and more accurate identification of potential market reversals than the standard RSI.
Key/Unique Features
Fisher Transform Applied to RSI : Transforms RSI values into a Gaussian normal distribution, improving the detection of overbought and oversold conditions.
Smoothing : Applies additional smoothing to the Fisher Transform, reducing noise and providing clearer signals.
Signal Line : Includes a signal line to identify crossover points, indicating potential buy or sell signals.
Custom Alerts : Built-in alert conditions for bullish and bearish crossovers, keeping traders informed of significant market movements.
Visual Enhancements : Background color changes based on crossover conditions, offering immediate visual cues for potential trading opportunities.
How It Works
RSI Calculation : The indicator calculates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) based on the selected source and period length.
Normalization : The RSI values are normalized to fit within a range of -1 to 1, which is essential for the Fisher Transform.
Fisher Transform : The normalized RSI values undergo the Fisher Transform, converting them into a Gaussian normal distribution.
Smoothing : The transformed values are smoothed using a simple moving average to reduce noise and provide more reliable signals.
Signal Line : A signal line, which is a simple moving average of the smoothed Fisher Transform, is plotted to identify crossover points.
Alerts and Visuals : Custom alert conditions are set for bullish and bearish crossovers, and the background color changes to indicate these conditions.
Usage Instructions
Trend Identification : Use the Fisher Transform on RSI to identify overbought and oversold conditions with enhanced precision, aiding in spotting potential trend reversals.
Trade Signals : Monitor the crossovers between the smoothed Fisher Transform and the signal line. A bullish crossover suggests a potential buying opportunity, while a bearish crossover indicates a potential selling opportunity.
Alerts : Set custom alerts based on the built-in conditions to receive notifications when important crossover events occur, ensuring you never miss a trading opportunity.
Visual Cues : Utilize the background color changes to quickly identify bullish (green) and bearish (red) conditions, providing immediate visual feedback on market sentiment.
Complementary Analysis : Combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools and indicators to enhance your overall trading strategy and make more informed decisions.
EngulfScanEngulf Scan
Introduction:
The Engulf Scan indicator helps users identify bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns on their charts. These patterns are often used as signals for trend reversals and are important indicators for traders. Engulf Scan signals are generated when an engulfing pattern is swallowed by another candlestick of the opposite color.The signal of a candle engulfment formation is generated when the 1st candle is engulfed by the 2nd candle and the 2nd candle is engulfed by the 3rd candle.
Features:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates the start of an upward trend and typically signals that the market is likely to move higher.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: Indicates the start of a downward trend and typically signals that the market is likely to move lower.
Color Coding: Users can customize the background colors for bullish and bearish engulfing patterns.
Usage Guide:
Adding the Indicator: Add the "Engulf Scan" indicator to your TradingView chart.
Color Settings: Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish engulfing patterns from the indicator settings.
Pattern Detection: View the engulfing patterns on the chart with the specified colors and symbols. These patterns help identify potential trend reversal points.
Parameters and Settings:
Bullish Engulfing Color: Background color for the bullish engulfing pattern.( Green)
Bearish Engulfing Color: Background color for the bearish engulfing pattern. (Red)
Examples:
Bullish Engulfing Example: On the chart below, you can see bullish engulfing patterns highlighted with a green background. (Green)
Bearish Engulfing Example: On the chart below, you can see bearish engulfing patterns highlighted with a red background. (Red)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
How are engulfing patterns detected?
Engulfing patterns are formed when a candlestick completely engulfs the previous candlestick. For a bullish engulfing pattern, a bullish candlestick follows a bearish one. For a bearish engulfing pattern, a bearish candlestick follows a bullish one.
Which timeframes work best with this indicator?
Engulfing patterns are generally more reliable on daily and higher timeframes, but you can test the indicator on different timeframes to see if it fits your trading strategy.
Can I detect a reversal or trend?
As can be seen in the image, it sometimes appears as a return signal and sometimes as a harbinger of an ongoing trend.But it may be a mistake to use the indicator only for these purposes. However, this indicator may not be sufficient when used alone. It can be combined with different indicators from the Tradingview library.

Indicator PanelHello All,
This script shows Indicator panel in a Table. Table.new() is a new feature and released today! Thanks a lot to Pine Team to add this new great feature! This new feature is a game changer!
The script shows indicator values for each symbol and changes background color of each cell by using current and last values of the indicators for each symbol. if current value is greater than last value then backgroung color is green, if lower than last value then red, if they are equals then gray.
You can choose the indicators to display. Number of columns in the table is dynamic and is changed by number of the indicators.
You can choose 5 different Symbols, 6 Indicators and 2 Simple or Exponential Moving averages, you can set type of moving averages and the lengths. You can also set the lengths for each Indicators.
Indicators:
- RSI
- MACD ( MACD and Signal and Histogram )
- DMI ( +DI and -DI + and ADX )
- CCI
- MFI
- Momentum
- MA with Length 50 (length can be set)
- MA with Length 200 (length can be set)
In this example RSI, MACD and MA 200 were chosen, you can see how table size changes dynamically:
Enjoy!
RSI Tops and BottomsHello Traders
This script finds Tops when RSI is in overbought area or Bottoms when RSI is in oversold area and checks the divergence between them. it checks divergence at tops/bottoms after RSI exited from OB/OS areas.
You can change overbought / oversold levels.
You can limit the time that RSI is in OB/OS area with the option "Max Number of Bars in OB/OS"
you can set the minimum/maximum distances between Tops/Bottoms with the options "Min Number of Bars between Tops/Bottoms" and "Max Number of Bars between Topss/Bottoms"
and you can set the color and line widths as you wish.
These tops or bottom must be sequential, means there mustn't be another top while checking tops or bottom while checking bottoms between them.
in next example you can see valid and invalid bottoms:
After you got signal then you better use Stop Order, a few pips higher than the high of colored candle for long positions, ( vise versa in short positions ). so you may escape from traps. ("Stop order" is filled when the price reached a pre-specified price. for example the price is now 10.0 and you set Buy Stop Order at 11.0 then if price reaches 11.0 then your buy order get filled. you can put stoploss a few pips lower than the low of colored candle or you can use ATR to decice stoploss level. how you wish)
For example in following screenshot you can see that buy stop order was not filled and you didn't take long position.
Enjoy!
Indicator Panel MTF (MACD, RSI, Momentum, Stoch, CCI)This script shows the values of MACD, RSI, Momentum, Stoch, CCI for current and higher time frames in a panel. if higher time frame is equal or smaller than current time frame and it doesn't show the values for HTF.
And also it shows if their values are increasing, decreasing or equal to last value with "▲", "▼", "="
The signal length for all indicators is 9 and used EMA.
histogram value is indicator value - it's signal value. with this value you can see that indicator and its signal getting closer or not. you may think it's as momentum.
Some functions and idea is used from following scripts:
Thanks to Lucf for the following script:
Thanks to Ricardo Santos for the following script:
Average Indicators Positionsby this script you can see the average level of macd, macd-asprey, rsi, stochastic, cci, momentum, obv, DI, volume weighted macd, cmf indicators within a period. It also calculates and creates the same graph for higher time frame, so you can see average levels for current and higher time frame. you can also check it for divergence/convergence. You can use it as you wish and add/remove indicators.
