Optimized Trend [DaviddTech]Optimized Trend is a comprehensive trend-following indicator that combines multiple analytical techniques for improved decision-making.
Key Features:
Zero-Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) to reduce lag and track price movements more effectively.
Adaptive Lag Control: The lag of the ZLEMA can be automatically adjusted based on market volatility (ATR), or manually set for user preference.
Composite Score: A weighted measure combining ZLEMA momentum, short-term price changes, ATR-based volatility, and money flow (using Chaikin Money Flow and Money Flow Index). This creates a 0–100 score reflecting overall market strength.
Dynamic Bands: ATR-based upper and lower bands shift depending on price relative to the ZLEMA, acting as dynamic support/resistance.
Trend Cross Alerts: Plots buy and sell dots when the price crosses the ZLEMA for quick trade signals.
Summary Table: Displays key data including composite score, volatility, trend direction, current lag setting, and a market narrative.
Uniqueness & Research Basis:
This indicator incorporates an adaptive lag mechanism tied to ATR volatility, making the trendline more responsive during high volatility and smoother during calmer markets. It also blends multiple volume/flow metrics into a single money flow component, delivering a synthesized view of market strength not found in traditional ZLEMA tools.
How to Use:
Identify Trend Direction: Use the ZLEMA color (teal for bullish, maroon for bearish) and composite score to confirm market bias.
Monitor Bands: Price reaching the upper band (red fill) may indicate overbought conditions, while the lower band (green fill) may signal oversold conditions.
Entry/Exit Signals: Watch for the plotted (buy) and (sell) dots as potential trade signals.
Fine-Tune Sensitivity: Adjust ZLEMA length and lag settings in the inputs to better match your trading timeframe and style.
Adaptive Lag: Enable or disable to see how dynamic volatility affects responsiveness.
This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should be used with additional confirmation and risk management in your trading plan.

BBS – Bond Breadth Signal"When bonds scream, breadth collapses, and fear spikes — BBS listens."
🧠 BBS – Bond Breadth Signal
A reversal timing tool built on macro conviction, not price noise.
The Bond Breadth Signal (BBS) was developed to identify major market inflection points by combining four key market stress indicators:
1) 10-Year Yield ROC – Measures sharp moves in the bond market
2) Z-Score of the 10Y – Captures statistical extremes
3) NSHF (Net Highs–Lows) – Signals internal market strength or weakness
4) TLT ROC + VIX – Confirmations of flight to safety and volatility-driven fear
When all conditions align, BBS marks either a For-Sure Buy or For-Sure Sell — these are rare, high-confidence signals designed to cut through noise and focus on true market dislocations.
🔧 Features:
-Background color and signal arrows on confirmation days
-Signals remain visually active for 3 days for added clarity
-Fully adjustable thresholds and alert toggles
-Plot panel for yield, TLT, NSHF, VIX, and Z-score visuals
This tool isn’t designed to fire every day. It’s meant to wait for those moments when the market truly bends — not just wiggles.
Best used on major indices (SPY, QQQ, IWM) to assess macro turning points.
OA - SMESSmart Money Entry Signals (SMES)
The SMES indicator is developed to identify potential turning points in market behavior by analyzing internal price dynamics, rather than relying on external volume or sentiment data.

Low Volatility Breakout Detector)This indicator is designed to visually identify potential breakouts from consolidation during periods of low volatility. It is based on classic Bollinger Bands and relative volume. Its primary purpose is not to generate buy or sell signals but to assist in spotting moments when the market exits a stagnation phase.
Arrows appear only when the price breaks above the upper or below the lower Bollinger Band, the band width is below a specified threshold (expressed in percentage), and volume is above its moving average multiplied by a chosen multiplier (default is 1). This combination may indicate the start of a new impulse following a period of low activity.
The chart background during low volatility is colored based on volume strength—the lower the volume during stagnation, the less transparent the background. This helps quickly spot unusual market behavior under seemingly calm conditions. The background opacity is dynamically scaled relative to the range of volumes over a selected period, which can be set manually (default is 50 bars).
The indicator works best in classic horizontal consolidations, where price moves within a narrow range and volatility and volume clearly decline. It is not intended to detect breakouts from formations such as triangles or wedges, which may not always exhibit low volatility relative to Bollinger Bands.
Settings allow you to adjust:
Bollinger Band length and multiplier,
Volatility threshold (in %),
Background and arrow colors,
Volume moving average length and multiplier,
Bar range used for background opacity scaling.
Note: For reliable results, it’s advisable to tailor the volatility threshold and volume/background ranges to the specific market and timeframe, as different instruments have distinct dynamics. If you want the background color to closely match the color of breakout arrows, you should set the same volume analysis period as the volume moving average length.
Additional note: To achieve a cleaner chart and focus solely on breakout signals, you can disable the background and Bollinger Bands display in the settings. This will leave only the breakout arrows visible on the chart, providing a clearer and more readable market picture.
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Consolidation Range with Signals (Zeiierman) is a precision tool for identifying and trading market consolidation zones, where price contracts into tight ranges before significant movement. It provides dynamic range detection using either ADX-based trend strength or volatility compression metrics, and offers built-in take profit and stop loss signals based on breakout dynamics.
Whether you trade breakouts, range reversals, or trend continuation setups, this indicator visualizes the balance between supply and demand with clearly defined mid-bands, breakout zones, and momentum-sensitive TP/SL placements.
█ How It Works
⚪ Multi-Method Range Detection
ADX Mode
Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to detect low-trend-strength environments. When ADX is below your selected threshold, price is considered to be in consolidation.
Volatility Mode
This mode detects consolidation by identifying periods of volatility compression. It evaluates whether the following metrics are simultaneously below their respective historical rolling averages:
Standard Deviation
Variance
Average True Range (ATR)
⚪ Dynamic Range Band System
Once a range is confirmed, the system builds a dynamic band structure using a volatility-based filter and price-jump logic:
Middle Line (Trend Filter): Reacts to price imbalance using adaptive jump logic.
Upper & Lower Bands: Calculated by expanding from the middle line using a configurable multiplier.
This creates a clean, visual box that reflects current consolidation conditions and adapts as price fluctuates within or escapes the zone.
⚪ SL/TP Signal Engine
On detection of a breakout from the range, the indicator generates up to 3 Take Profit levels and one Stop Loss, based on the breakout direction:
All TP/SL levels are calculated using the filtered base range and multipliers.
Cooldown logic ensures signals are not spammed bar-to-bar.
Entries are visualized with colored lines and labeled levels.
This feature is ideal for traders who want automated risk and reward reference points for range breakout plays.
█ How to Use
⚪ Breakout Traders
Use the SL/TP signals when the price breaks above or below the range bands, especially after extended sideways movement. You can customize how far TP1, TP2, and TP3 sit from the entry using your own risk/reward profile.
⚪ Mean Reversion Traders
Use the bands to locate high-probability reversion zones. These serve as reference zones for scalping or fade entries within stable consolidation phases.
█ Settings
Range Detection Method – Choose between ADX or Volatility compression to define range criteria.
Range Period – Determines how many bars are used to compute trend/volatility.
Range Multiplier – Scales the width of the consolidation zone.
SL/TP System – Optional levels that project TP1/TP2/TP3 and SL from the base price using multipliers.
Cooldown – Prevents repeated SL/TP signals from triggering too frequently.
ADX Threshold & Smoothing – Adjusts sensitivity of trend strength detection.
StdDev / Variance / ATR Multipliers – Fine-tune compression detection logic.

Interpolated Median Volatility LSMA | OttoThis indicator combines trend-following and volatility analysis by enhancing traditional LSMA with percentile-based linear interpolation applied to both the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) and standard deviation. Rather than relying on raw values, it uses the interpolated median (50th percentile) to smooth out noise while preserving sensitivity to significant price shifts. This approach produces a cleaner trend signal that remains responsive to real market changes, adapts to evolving volatility conditions, and improves the accuracy of breakout detection.
Core Concept
The indicator builds on these core components:
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average): A linear regression-based moving average that fits line using user selected source over user defined period. It offers a smoother and more reactive trend signal compared to standard moving averages.
Standard Deviation shows how much price varies from the mean. In this indicator, it’s used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Bands: Instead of traditional Bollinger-style bands, this script calculates custom upper and lower bands using percentile-based linear interpolation on both the LSMA and standard deviation. This method produces smoother bands that filter out noise while remaining adaptive to meaningful price movements, making them more aligned with real market behavior and helping reduce false signals.
Percentile interpolation estimates a specific percentile (like the median — the 50th percentile) from a set of values — even when that percentile doesn't fall exactly on one data point. Instead of selecting a single nearest value, it calculates a smoothed value between nearby points. In this script, it’s used to find the median of past LSMA and standard deviation values, reducing the impact of outliers and smoothing the trend and volatility signals for more robust results.
Signal Logic: A long signal is identified when close price goes above the upper band, and a short signal when close price goes below the lower band.
⚙️ Inputs
Source: The price source used in calculations
LSMA Length: Period for calculating LSMA
Standard Deviation Length: Period for calculating volatility
Percentile Length: Period used for interpolating percentile values of LSMA and standard deviation
Multiplier: Controls the width of the bands by scaling the interpolated standard deviation
📈 Visual Output
Colored LSMA Line: Changes color based on signal (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Upper & Lower Bands: Volatility bands calculated using interpolated values (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Bar Coloring: Price bars are colored to reflect signal state (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
Optional Candlestick Overlay: Enhances visual context by coloring candles to match the signal state (green for bullish, purple for bearish)
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart and look for signals when close price goes above or below the bands.
Long Signal: close Price goes above the upper band
Short Signal: close Price goes below the lower band
🔔 Alerts:
This script supports alert conditions for long and short signals. You can set alerts based on band crossovers to be notified of potential entries/exits.

Uptrick: Z-Trend BandsOverview
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands is a Pine Script overlay crafted to capture high-probability mean-reversion opportunities. It dynamically plots upper and lower statistical bands around an EMA baseline by converting price deviations into z-scores. Once price moves outside these bands and then reenters, the indicator verifies that momentum is genuinely reversing via an EMA-smoothed RSI slope. Signal memory ensures only one entry per momentum swing, and traders receive clear, real-time feedback through customizable bar-coloring modes, a semi-transparent fill highlighting the statistical zone, concise “Up”/“Down” labels, and a live five-metric scoring table.
Introduction
Markets often oscillate between trending and reverting, and simple thresholds or static envelopes frequently misfire when volatility shifts. Standard deviation quantifies how “wide” recent price moves have been, and a z-score transforms each deviation into a measure of how rare it is relative to its own history. By anchoring these bands to an exponential moving average, the script maintains a fluid statistical envelope that adapts instantly to both calm and turbulent regimes. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tracks momentum; smoothing RSI with an EMA and observing its slope filters out erratic spikes, ensuring that only genuine momentum flips—upward for longs and downward for shorts—qualify.
Purpose
This indicator is purpose-built for short-term mean-reversion traders operating on lower–timeframe charts. It reveals when price has strayed into the outer 5 percent of its recent range, signaling an increased likelihood of a bounce back toward fair value. Rather than firing on price alone, it demands that momentum follow suit: the smoothed RSI slope must flip in the opposite direction before any trade marker appears. This dual-filter approach dramatically reduces noise-driven, false setups. Traders then see immediate visual confirmation—bar colors that reflect the latest signal and age over time, clear entry labels, and an always-visible table of metric scores—so they can gauge both the validity and freshness of each signal at a glance.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Z-Trend Bands stands apart from typical envelope or oscillator tools in four key ways. First, it employs fully normalized z-score bands, meaning ±2 always captures roughly the top and bottom 5 percent of moves, regardless of volatility regime. Second, it insists on two simultaneous conditions—price reentry into the bands and a confirming RSI slope flip—dramatically reducing whipsaw signals. Third, it uses slope-phase memory to lock out duplicate signals until momentum truly reverses again, enforcing disciplined entries. Finally, it offers four distinct bar-coloring schemes (solid reversal, fading reversal, exceeding bands, and classic heatmap) plus a dynamic scoring table, rather than a single, opaque alert, giving traders deep insight into every layer of analysis.
Why Each Component Was Picked
The EMA baseline was chosen for its blend of responsiveness—weighting recent price heavily—and smoothness, which filters market noise. Z-score deviation bands standardize price extremes relative to their own history, adapting automatically to shifting volatility so that “extreme” always means statistically rare. The RSI, smoothed with an EMA before slope calculation, captures true momentum shifts without the false spikes that raw RSI often produces. Slope-phase memory flags prevent repeated alerts within a single swing, curbing over-trading in choppy conditions. Bar-coloring modes provide flexible visual contexts—whether you prefer to track the latest reversal, see signal age, highlight every breakout, or view a continuous gradient—and the scoring table breaks down all five core checks for complete transparency.
Features
This indicator offers a suite of configurable visual and logical tools designed to make reversal signals both robust and transparent:
Dynamic z-score bands that expand or contract in real time to reflect current volatility regimes, ensuring the outer ±zThreshold levels always represent statistically rare extremes.
A smooth EMA baseline that weights recent price more heavily, serving as a fair-value anchor around which deviations are measured.
EMA-smoothed RSI slope confirmation, which filters out erratic momentum spikes by first smoothing raw RSI and then requiring its bar-to-bar slope to flip before any signal is allowed.
Slope-phase memory logic that locks out duplicate buy or sell markers until the RSI slope crosses back through zero, preventing over-trading during choppy swings.
Four distinct bar-coloring modes—Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, Classic Heat—plus a “None” option, so traders can choose whether to highlight the latest signal, show signal age, emphasize breakout bars, or view a continuous heat gradient within the bands.
A semi-transparent fill between the EMA and the upper/lower bands that visually frames the statistical zone and makes extremes immediately obvious.
Concise “Up” and “Down” labels that plot exactly when price re-enters a band with confirming momentum, keeping chart clutter to a minimum.
A real-time, five-metric scoring table (z-score, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend state, re-entry) that updates every two bars, displaying individual +1/–1/0 scores and an averaged Buy/Sell/Neutral verdict for complete transparency.
Calculations
Compute the fair-value EMA over fairLen bars.
Subtract that EMA from current price each bar to derive the raw deviation.
Over zLen bars, calculate the rolling mean and standard deviation of those deviations.
Convert each deviation into a z-score by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
Plot the upper and lower bands at ±zThreshold × standard deviation around the EMA.
Calculate raw RSI over rsiLen bars, then smooth it with an EMA of length rsiEmaLen.
Derive the RSI slope by taking the difference between the current and previous smoothed RSI.
Detect a potential reentry when price exits one of the bands on the prior bar and re-enters on the current bar.
Require that reentry coincide with an RSI slope flip (positive for a lower-band reentry, negative for an upper-band reentry).
On first valid reentry per momentum swing, fire a buy or sell signal and set a memory flag; reset that flag only when the RSI slope crosses back through zero.
For each bar, assign scores of +1, –1, or 0 for the z-score direction, RSI slope, price vs. EMA, trend-state, and reentry status.
Average those five scores; if the result exceeds +0.1, label “Buy,” if below –0.1, label “Sell,” otherwise “Neutral.”
Update bar colors, the semi-transparent fill, reversal labels, and the scoring table every two bars to reflect the latest calculations.
How It Actually Works
On each new candle, the EMA baseline and band widths update to reflect current volatility. The RSI is smoothed and its slope recalculated. The script then looks back one bar to see if price exited either band and forward to see if it reentered. If that reentry coincides with an appropriate RSI slope flip—and no signal has yet been generated in that swing—a concise label appears. Bar colors refresh according to your selected mode, and the scoring table updates to show which of the five conditions passed or failed, along with the overall verdict. This process repeats seamlessly at each bar, giving traders a continuous feed of disciplined, statistically filtered reversal cues.
Inputs
All parameters are fully user-configurable, allowing you to tailor sensitivity, lookbacks, and visuals to your trading style:
EMA length (fairLen): number of bars for the fair-value EMA; higher values smooth more but lag further behind price.
Z-Score lookback (zLen): window for calculating the mean and standard deviation of price deviations; longer lookbacks reduce noise but respond more slowly to new volatility.
Z-Score threshold (zThreshold): number of standard deviations defining the upper and lower bands; common default is 2.0 for roughly the outer 5 percent of moves.
Source (src): choice of price series (close, hl2, etc.) used for EMA, deviation, and RSI calculations.
RSI length (rsiLen): period for raw RSI calculation; shorter values react faster to momentum changes but can be choppier.
RSI EMA length (rsiEmaLen): period for smoothing raw RSI before taking its slope; higher values filter more noise.
Bar coloring mode (colorMode): select from None, Reversal Solid, Reversal Fade, Exceeding Bands, or Classic Heat to control how bars are shaded in relation to signals and band positions.
Show signals (showSignals): toggle on-chart “Up” and “Down” labels for reversal entries.
Show scoring table (enableTable): toggle the display of the five-metric breakdown table.
Table position (tablePos): choose which corner (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right) hosts the scoring table.
