Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator [CHE]Why use the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator ?
Flat markets, where prices remain within a narrow range for an extended period, can be both critical and dangerous for traders. In a flat market, the price action becomes less predictable, and traders may struggle to find profitable trading opportunities. As a result, many traders may decide to take a break from the market until a clear trend emerges.
However, flat markets can also be dangerous for traders who continue to trade despite the lack of clear trends. In the absence of a clear direction, traders may be tempted to take larger risks or make impulsive trades in an attempt to capture small profits. Such behavior can quickly lead to significant losses, especially if the market suddenly breaks out of its flat range, causing traders to experience large drawdowns.
Therefore, it is essential to approach flat markets with caution and to have a clear trading plan that incorporates strategies for both trending and flat markets. Traders may also use technical indicators, such as the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator, to help identify flat markets and determine when it is appropriate to enter or exit a position.
The confluence between flat markets and low ADX readings can further increase the risk of trading during these periods. The ADX (Average Directional Index) is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. A low ADX reading indicates that the market is in a consolidation phase, which can coincide with a flat market. When a flat market occurs during a period of low ADX, traders should be even more cautious, as there is little to no directional bias in the market. In this situation, traders may want to consider waiting for a clear trend to emerge or using range-bound trading strategies to avoid taking excessive risks.
Introduction:
Pine Script is a programming language used for developing custom technical analysis indicators and trading strategies in TradingView. This particular script is an indicator designed to identify flat markets and low ADX conditions. In this description, we will delve deeper into the functionality of this script and how it can be used to improve trading decisions.
Description:
The first input in the script is the length of the moving average used for calculating the center line. This moving average is used to define the high and low range of the market. The script then calculates the middle value of the range by taking the double exponential moving average (EMA) of the high, low, and close prices.
The script then determines whether the market is flat by comparing the middle value of the range with the high and low values. If the middle value is greater than the high value or less than the low value, the market is not flat. If the middle value is within the high and low range, the script considers the market to be flat. The script also uses RSI filter settings to further confirm if the market is flat or not. If the RSI value is between the RSI min and max values, then the market is considered flat. If the RSI value is outside this range, the market is not considered flat.
The script also calculates the ADX (Average Directional Index) to determine whether it's in a low area. ADX is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. The script uses the ADX filter settings to define the ADX threshold value. If the ADX value is below the threshold value, the script considers the market to be in a low ADX area.
The script provides various input options to customize the display settings, including the option to show the flat market and low ADX areas. Users can choose their preferred colors for the flat market and low ADX areas and adjust the transparency levels to suit their needs.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this Pine Script indicator is designed to identify flat market and low ADX conditions, which can help traders make informed trading decisions. The script uses a range of inputs and calculations to determine the market direction, RSI filter, and ADX filter. By customizing the display settings, users can adjust the indicator to suit their preferences and improve their trading strategies. Overall, this script can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain an edge in the markets.

TheATR™: Volatility Extremes (VolEx)Volatility is a crucial aspect of financial markets that is closely monitored by traders and investors alike. The traditional Average True Range (ATR) oscillator is a widely used technical indicator for measuring volatility in financial markets. However, there are limitations to the ATR oscillator, as it does not account for changing market conditions and may not adequately reflect extreme price movements. To address these limitations, TheATR has developed the VolEx indicator, which aims to identify extremes in the ATR oscillator by building dynamic thresholds using either a 'percentage' or 'standard deviation' based comparison with the value of the ATR.
The VolEx indicator utilizes a dynamic approach to measure volatility by considering the current level of the ATR oscillator relative to the dynamically generated thresholds. The dynamic thresholds are calculated based on the current ATR value and the chosen method of comparison (either 'percentage' or 'standard deviation'). If the ATR value exceeds the upper dynamic threshold, the market is experiencing high volatility, while a value below the lower dynamic threshold indicates low volatility.
The VolEx indicator offers several advantages over traditional volatility indicators, such as the ATR oscillator. First, it takes into account the changing market conditions and adjusts the thresholds accordingly. Second, it offers flexibility in the choice of the comparison method, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies. Finally, it provides clear signals for identifying extremes in volatility, which can be used to inform trading decisions.
In summary, the VolEx indicator developed by TheATR is a dynamic and flexible technical indicator that offers a robust approach to measuring volatility in financial markets. By utilizing dynamic thresholds and allowing for different comparison methods, the VolEx indicator provides a valuable tool for traders and investors seeking to identify extremes in market volatility..
NOTE: It is important to note that volatility, as measured by the VolEx indicator, does not provide any directional bias for the market movement. Rather, it simply indicates the degree to which the market is moving, regardless of direction. Traders and investors must use other technical or fundamental analysis tools to determine the direction of the market and make informed trading decisions based on their individual strategies and risk tolerance.
Move Magnitude Visualizer (beta)This experimental visualizer measures all price differences across a range of samples to determine what is normal for a measure of time. Based on whether a recent change in price over time has exceeded the norm, a line is drawn to indicate the magnitude/severity of that move. In short, it attempts to visualize when a move is outside the norm and when it may be risky to join that move.
A thick red line = greater than 3 standard deviations.
An orangish/goldish line = greater than 2 standard deviations.
A thin dotted yellow = greater than 1 standard deviation.
In the end, I've always wanted a tool that gave me a visual warning to when a move is abnormally severe and shouldn't be trusted. RSI and other indicators only work with specific lengths, this attempt to be a deviation detector that isn't bound by length or time-frame.
This is a work in progress, so feedback is appreciated. I don't have a strong idea yet how to properly visualize this data.
It is very compute heavy and some users may experience timeouts. I've done everything I can think of to eliminate redundant computer and to optimize for PineScript.
Stock Data Table█ OVERVIEW
This is a table that shows some information about stocks. It is divided into four sections:
1) Correlation
2) Shares
3) Daily Data
4) Extended Session Data
The table is completely modular, which means you can add or remove each element from the settings menu, and it will automatically rearrange its spaces.
It is also highly customizable, to the extent that you can change almost any color, remove or change titles, invert section rows, and much more.
1) Correlation
The script checks if the stock is listed on NASDAQ, and if so, uses the QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) as the reference index in the first cell; otherwise, it uses the SPY (S&P 500 ETF). The length of the correlation is shown in the second cell. The table then displays the correlation between the reference index and the other index, and the correlation between the reference index and the stock.
To make it easier to interpret the correlation values, each row's last cell is color-coded with a gradient to highlight the type of correlation, and the direction of the gradient can be customized.
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable, so it can be used to identify patterns and trends.
If you are interested in correlation, I suggest taking a look at my dedicated indicator:
2) Shares
This feature provides you with quick access to key information about shares and market capitalization.
On one row, you can view the total shares outstanding and the market capitalization for the fiscal year or the quarterly year. The total shares outstanding represents the total number of shares of the stock that have been issued and are currently outstanding, regardless of whether they are held by insiders or public investors. The market capitalization is a widely used measure of the company's value as determined by the stock market, calculated by multiplying its current stock price with the total number of outstanding shares.
The other row shows the float, which is the number of shares of a company that are available for public trading, and the corresponding free-float market cap, calculated by multiplying the company's current stock price with the float. Because Pine Script does not allow retrieving information about quarterly year float, you can view the float and the free-float market cap of the fiscal year only. The data can be displayed at all times or only when the difference between the total shares outstanding and the float is significant enough to result in a difference between the market cap and free-float market cap.
The classification for market cap and free-float market cap is set in this way:
Mega Cap: $200 billion or more
Large Cap: between $10 billion and $200 billion
Mid Cap: between $2 billion and $10 billion
Small Cap: between $300 million and $2 billion
Micro Cap: less than $300 million
Penny Stocks: less than $5 (customizable)
Comparing the free-float market cap to the market cap can provide insights into the liquidity of a stock. In fact, if the float is relatively small compared to the total shares outstanding, it may be more difficult to find buyers or sellers, which could lead to increased volatility. On the other hand, a larger float indicates that the stock is more liquid and may be easier to trade, potentially resulting in lower volatility. However, market conditions can change quickly and significantly, especially for intraday traders, and the free-float can also change as insiders or other large shareholders buy or sell shares. Therefore, comparing the data of the fiscal year with that of the quarterly year may not provide the most up-to-date and accurate information for making trading decisions. This limitation can be mitigated by combining those data with other indicators and tools, such as technical analysis or news events, to gain a better understand of the stock's performance and potential trading opportunities.
3) Daily Data
This section is available on daily charts only due to the lack of accuracy of real-time daily data on other time frames. Here, you can view the Average Daily Volume (ADV) over a preferred time range (20 days by default), and the Daily Change, which represents the percentage difference between the closing price on two consecutive trading days.
ADV is useful in measuring the stock's volatility, as it provides an indication of how much trading activity there is in it. Generally speaking, stocks with higher trading volume tend to be less volatile than stocks with lower trading volume. High trading volume means there are more buyers and sellers actively trading the stock, which makes it easier for investors to buy and sell shares at fair prices. This increased liquidity can help to stabilize the stock price, reducing the potential for large swings in either direction. On the other hand, stocks with lower trading volume may experience greater volatility, as there are fewer buyers and sellers actively trading the stock. This can result in larger price swings, as it may be more difficult for investors to buy or sell shares at fair prices.
The daily percentage change can provide an indication of the stock's volatility, with larger values indicating greater volatility and risk. It can also be compared to that of a benchmark such an index or other stocks in the same sector, helping to determine whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming relative to them.
4) Extended Session Data
The fourth section is available on intraday charts only. This section provides two pieces of information: the Extended Session Change and the Pre-Market Volume.
The Extended Session Change indicates the percentage difference between the previous day's closing price and the latest price in the extended session. This gives you the extent and the direction of the price gap that occurred during extended trading hours.
The Pre-Market Volume shows the sum of all shares traded during the pre-market session. This can be helpful in understanding how much interest the stock gained before the market opened.
By default, the two rows will be visible at all times. They will stop updating after the end of their respective time range, and resume updating when it starts again. However, you can choose to automatically hide them outside of their time ranges.
Both the extended session and pre-market time ranges can be customized. Please note that if you select time ranges outside of the regular market session (as set by default), you must enable the extended session to view the corresponding rows.
█ GENERAL NOTES
• Total Shares Outstanding, Float, Average Daily Volume and Pre-Market Volume cells use a customizable color system based on two thresholds, to help you quickly identify whether the value is "too low/acceptable/too high" or "too low/not enough high/acceptable".
• If you cannot see certain data, that simply means it is not available.
NSDT Lattice WebThis script creates a "web" by connecting different points of candles. All configurable by the trader.
There are 4 basic parts to a candle:
Open, High, Low, and Close
With this script, you can connect any point of one candle in the past to any point of another current candle.
For example:
High to High, High to Low, High to Open, High to close
Low to High, Low to Low, Low to Open, Low to Close
Open to High, Open to Low, Open to Open, Open to Close
Close to High, Close to Low, Close to Open, Close to Close
The script will change the line colors based on whether the current plot is higher or lower than the previous plot.
Try out different connection points to see what works for you. Connecting High to High and Low to Low, might easily show you when the market is making higher highs or lower lows, indicating a potential movement.
Run it on replay at a higher speed and see how it may potentially help identify area of congestion or trends.

Baseline Cross Qualifier Volatility Strategy with HMA Trend BiasFor trading ES on 30min Chart
Trading Rules
Post Baseline Cross Qualifier (PBCQ): If price crosses the baseline but the trade is invalid due to additional qualifiers, then the strategy doesn't enter a trade on that candle. This setting allows you override this disqualification in the following manner: If price crosses XX bars ago and is now qualified by other qualifiers, then the strategy enters a trade.
Volatility: If price crosses the baseline, we check to see how far it has moved in terms of multiples of volatility denoted in price (ATR x multiple). If price has moved by at least "Qualifier multiplier" and less than "Range Multiplier", then the strategy enters a trade. This range is shown on the chart with yellow area that tracks price above/blow the baseline. Also, see the dots at the top of the chart. If the dots are green, then price passes the volatility test for a long. If the dots are red, then price passes the volatility test for a short.
Take Profit/Stoploss Quantity Removed
1 Take Profit: 100% of the trade is closed when the profit target or stoploss is reached.
2 Take Profits: Quantity is split 50/50 between Take Profit 1 and Take Profit 2
3 Take Profits: Quantify is split 50/25/25.

Multi indicators tableThis is a comprehensive trading tool that presents an overview of the market in a tabular format. It consists of five distinct categories of trading indicators : Volatility, Trend, Momentum, Reversal, and Volume. Each category includes a series of indicators that are widely used in the trading communauty.
The Volatility category includes the Average True Range (ATR) and Bollinger Bands indicators. The Trend category comprises the Average Directional Index (ADX), four Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Aroon, Parabolic SAR, and the Supertrend. The Momentum category includes the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (StochRSI), Money Flow Index (MFI), Williams %R, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Commodity Channel Index (CCI). The Reversal category includes Parabolic SAR, Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and PP Supertrend. Finally, the Volume category includes the Volume Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicator.
The indicators states are easily readable, the indicator case is colored based on his actual state. A bullish color (green by default), a bearish color (red by default),
a very bullish color (dark green by default), a very bearish color (dark red by default) and a neutral color (gray by default) displayed when the indicator doesn't give us a clear signal. Some indicators do not have a very bullish or very bearish state. Concerning volatility indicators, the bullish color indicates high volatility, the bearish color indicates low volatility, and the neutral color indicates normal volatility.
Most of the indicators displayed in the table are customizable, and traders can choose to hide the categories they don't want to use. The Indicator provides a quick and easily readable view on the market and allows traders to reduce the number of indicators on their chart making it lighter and more readable.
TCG AI ToolsIntroduction:
This script is a result of an AI recommended created trading strategy that is design to offer new traders’ easy access to trend information and oversold/overbought conditions. Here we have combined commonly used indicators into a single unique visualization that quickly identifies trend changes and both RSI and Bollinger Band based overbought and oversold conditions, and allows all three indicators to be used simultaneously while taking up limited space on the chart.
The value in combining these three indicators is found in the harmony and clarity they are able to provide new traders. Trend changes can be difficult to identify based solely on candlestick analysis, therefore using the moving averages allows the trader to simplify the process of establishing bullish or bearish trends. Once a trend is established it can be very attractive for new traders to establish entries at the wrong time. For this reason, it is useful to include two different overbought and oversold indicators. The Bollinger Bands are included as one of the methods for establishing extreme prices that often result in reversals, and the relative strength index is similarly utilized as a second means to warn traders of extreme conditions.
Using the Indicator
1. MA10 MA20 Trend Indicator
The large red/green horizontal bar located at the 0 line on the X axis is the trend direction indicator. This visualization compares the 10 and 20 period moving averages to establish trend. When the MA10 is above the MA20 the trend is considered bullish and supportive of long positions and indicates such by changing the color of the horizontal bar to green. When the MA10 is below MA20 the trend is considered bearish and indicates such by changing the color of the horizontal bar to red. Color changes occur at the moment of a MA crossover/under.
2. Relative Strength Index.
The vertical red and green bars that make up the background of the panel indicate conditions wherein the RSI is considered overbought or oversold. When the vertical bar is red it indicates that RSI is below 30 suggesting that current conditions are oversold and supportive of long entries. When the vertical bar is green it suggests that the current conditions are overbought and are supportive of short entries.
3. Bollinger Band Extremes
Within the horizontal red/green bar there are red and green arrows. These arrows represent periods where the price is exceeding the upper or lower Bollinger bands and indicate overbought/oversold conditions. When a green arrow appears, it indicates that the price has crossed below the lower BB and is supportive of long entries. If a red arrow appears it indicates that the price has crossed above the upper Bollinger band and conditions are supportive of short entries.
Relative ATRATR is one of the main indicators we use to measure volatility. When the market starts to consolidate or does not rise, ATR will be at a relatively low position.
However, the classic ATR formula does not consider that when the price changes at a logarithmic level, the ATR value will also change significantly. Therefore, I divide the calculated ATR value by the closing price to get an amplitude ratio index.
The adjusted indicator can well reflect the level of volatility. For example, the volatility of BTC reached an unprecedented low in January this year, which means that there will be a significant outbreak after breaking through the consolidation range. The configuration of the breakthrough order will be an excellent choice.
BB Running Away CandleHello,
here is an indicator that can be helpful for your trading that is simple and easy to use.
Our culprit here is a candle that opens and closes below the lower band of Bollinger Band, Black and red lines are put on the high and low of that candle.
Green Arrows are happening when:
1- When candle closes above the black line and Stochastic RSI is in the oversold area >> "Confirmed B"
2- When candle closes above the black line >> "B"
Note that you can choose from the settings whether you want it confirmed or not.
Red Arrows are happening when:
1- Price reached the higher band of Bollinger Bands >> "BB High"
2- Stochastic crosses down from above 80 level >> "Stoch Crossdown"
3- RSI reached above 70 levle >> "RSI Oversold"
Note that you can choose to turn these on or off from the settings.
Settings of indicators are set to default.
NOTE: Alerts are put there however i didn't get the chance to test them, so would like to hear your feedback about them.
THE USE OF THIS INDICATOR IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.
wishing you the best.
BTC Performance Table / BTC Seasonality Visualization
This script visualizes Bitcoins "seasonality", in form of a colored table (based on the idea from "BigBangTheory")
The history table shows you which months do statistically perform better/worse in comparison to other months.
How to use this script:
Choose ticker "BLX" ("BraveNewCoin Liquid Index for Bitcoin").
Set the charts time frame to weekly or daily. Tables position on the screen and its colors are configurable.
Table explanation:
Cells show whether a gain or a loss occured from month to month, since BTC came out in 2010.
The price difference, between monthly open and monthly close, determines the cell color (negative -> red, positive -> green).
The year column shows total gain (green) or loss (red) for that particular year.
Each value is presented as a rounded percentage number.
How this script works:
The script calculates the price difference between each monthly and yearly open and close, storing those numbers inside arrays.
Then it populates the table, by using those numbers and doing the cell coloring (there will be a yellow cell, in case no change should occur).
German Short-Description
Prozentuale Übersicht in Tabellenform, der monatlichen, sowie jährlichen, Performance des Bitcoin (basierend auf der Idee von "BigBangTheory").
Hierdurch wird die "Saisonalität" des Bitcoin sichtbar. D.h. welche Monate des Jahres, im Vergleich zu anderen Monaten, statistisch gesehen öfter positiv/negativ schließen.
Zwecks vollständiger Darstellung muss der Ticker "BLX" ("BraveNewCoin Liquid Index for Bitcoin") im weekly oder daily time frame aktiv sein.
Keltner Channels Bands (RMA)Keltner Channel Bands
These normally consist of:
Keltner Channel Upper Band = EMA + Multiplier ∗ ATR
Keltner Channel Lower Band = EMA − Multiplier ∗ ATR
However instead of using ATR we are using RMA
This gives us a much smoother take of the KCB
We are also using 2 sets of bands built on 1 Moving average, this is a common set up for mean reversion strategies.
This can often be paired with RSI for lower timeframe divergences
Divergence
This is using the RSI to calculate when price sets new lows/highs whilst the RSI movement is in the opposite direction.
The way this is calculated is slightly different to traditional divergence scripts. instead of looking for pivot highs/lows in the RSI we are logging the RSI value when price makes it pivot highs/lows.
Gradient Bands
The Gradient Colouring on the bands is measuring how long price has been either side of the MA.
As Keltner bands are commonly used as a mean reversion strategy, I thought it would be useful to see how long price has been trending in a certain direction, the stronger the colours get,
the longer price has been trending that direction which could suggest we are looking for a retrace soon.
Alerts
Alerts included let you choose whether you want to receive an alert for the inside, outside or both band touches.
To set up these alerts, simply toggle them on in the settings, then click on the 3 dots next to the indicators name, from there you click 'Add Alert'.
From there you can customise the alert settings but make sure to leave the 2 top boxes which control the alert conditions. They will be default selected onto your correct settings, the rest you may want to change.
Once you create the alert, it will then trigger as soon as price touches your chosen inside/outside band.
Suggestions
Please feel free to offer any suggestions which you think could improve the script

Waddah Attar Explosion with TDI First of all, a big shoutout to @shayankm, @LazyBear, @Bromley, @Goldminds and @LuxAlgo, the ones that made this script possible.
This is a version of Waddah Attar Explosion with Traders Dynamic Index.
WAE provides volume and volatility information. Also, WAE calculation was changed to a full-on MACD, to provide the momentum: the idea is to "assess" which MACD bars have significant momentum (i.e. crossover the Explosion Line)
TDI provides momentum, divergences as well as overbought and oversold areas. There is also a RSI on a different timeframe, for convergence.
Almost everything is editable:
- All moving averages are customizable, including the TRAMA, from @LuxAlgo
Waddah Attar Explosion_
- Three different crossing signals: histogram crossing contracting Explosion Line, expanding Explosion Line and ascending Explosion Line while both Bolling Bands are expanding; Explosion Line shows different color when expanding.
- Explosion line signals: Below DeadZone line and Exhaustion (highest value in a given lookback period). You can set a predefined EPL slope to filter out some noise.
- Deadzone signal : Deadzone squeeze ( lowst value in a given lookback period)
TDI:
- Overbought an Oversold signals. The OB and OS shapes have two colors, in order to display extreme signals on current timeframe or extreme signals on current and different time frame.
- Visual display of RSI outside the Bollinger Bands, and crossing of RSI Moving Average crossing of zero line.
I believe this combination is great for so many reasons!
Like the idea of TTM Squeeze? You can tune the Deadzone and Explosion lines to look for a volatility breakout
Like trading divergences or want to filter out extreme areas? The RSI is great for that
You like the using the MACD strategy but don't like the amount of false signals given? this WAE version filters some of them out.
If you are a Bollinger bands fan, you can customize both indicators to trade breakouts and/or mean reversion strategies, and filter out exhaustion of the bands expansion
This is my first publication, so give it a go and provide feedback if possible.
Bar metrics / quantifytools— Overview
Rather than eyeball evaluating bullishness/bearishness in any given bar, bar metrics allow a quantified approach using three basic fundamental data points: relative close, relative volatility and relative volume. These data points are visualized in a discreet data dashboard form, next to all real-time bars. Each value also has a dot in front, representing color coded extremes in the values.
Relative close represents position of bar's close relative to high and low, high of bar being 100% and low of bar being 0%. Relative close indicates strength of bulls/bears in a given bar, the higher the better for bulls, the lower the better for bears. Relative volatility (bar range, high - low) and relative volume are presented in a form of a multiplier, relative to their respective moving averages (SMA 20). A value of 1x indicates volume/volatility being on par with moving average, 2x indicates volume/volatility being twice as much as moving average and so on. Relative volume and volatility can be used for measuring general market participant interest, the "weight of the bar" as it were.
— Features
Users can gauge past bar metrics using lookback via input menu. Past bars, especially recent ones, are helpful for giving context for current bar metrics. Lookback bars are highlighted on the chart using a yellow box and metrics presented on the data dashboard with lookback symbols:
To inspect bar metric data and its implications, users can highlight bars with specified bracket values for each metric:
When bar highlighter is toggled on and desired bar metric values set, alert for the specified combination can be toggled on via alert menu. Note that bar highlighter must be enabled in order for alerts to function.
— Visuals
Bar metric dots are gradient colored the following way:
Relative volatility & volume
0x -> 1x / Neutral (white) -> Light (yellow)
1x -> 1.7x / Light (yellow) -> Medium (orange)
1.7x -> 2.4x / Medium (orange) -> Heavy (red)
Relative close
0% -> 25% / Heavy bearish (red) -> Light bearish (dark red)
25% -> 45% / Light bearish (dark red) -> Neutral (white)
45% - 55% / Neutral (white)
55% -> 75% / Neutral (white) -> Light bullish (dark green)
75% -> 100% / Light bullish (dark green) -> Heavy bullish (green)
All colors can be adjusted via input menu. Label size, label distance from bar (offset) and text format (regular/stealth) can be adjusted via input menu as well:
— Practical guide
As interpretation of bar metrics is highly contextual, it is especially important to use other means in conjunction with the metrics. Levels, oscillators, moving averages, whatever you have found useful for your process. In short, relative close indicates directional bias and relative volume/volatility indicates "weight" of directional bias.
General interpretation
High relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bullish, bias up/consolidation
High relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bullish, bias up
High relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bullish, bias up/down depending on context
Medium relative close, low relative volume/volatility = noise, no bias
Medium relative close, medium to high relative volume/volatility = indecision, further evidence needed to evaluate bias
Low relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bearish, bias down/consolidation
Low relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bearish, bias down
Low relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bearish, bias down/up depending on context
Nuances & considerations
As to relative close, it's important to note that each bar is a trading range when viewed on a lower timeframe, ES 1W vs. ES 4H:
When relative close is high, bulls were able to push price to range high by the time of close. When relative close is low, bears were able to push price to range low by the time of close. In other words, bulls/bears were able to gain the upper hand over a given trading range, hinting strength for the side that made the final push. When relative close is around middle range (40-60%), it can be said neither side is clearly dominating the range, hinting neutral/indecision bias from a relative close perspective.
As to relative volume/volatility, low values (less than ~0.7x) imply bar has low market participant interest and therefore is likely insignificant, as it is "lacking weight". Values close to or above 1x imply meaningful market participant interest, whereas values well above 1x (greater than ~1.3x) imply exuberance. This exuberance can manifest as initiation (beginning of a trend) or as exhaustion (end of a trend):
Faytterro Bandswhat is Faytterro Bands?
it is a channel indicator like "Bollinger Bands".
what it does?
creates a channel using standard deviations and means. thus giving users an idea about the expensive and cheap zones. It uses a special weighted moving average different from standard bollinger bands, it also averages not only price but also deviations.
how it does it?
it uses this formulas:
how to use it?
its usage is the same as "bollinger band".
length represents the number of candles to be taken into account, source represents the source of those candles and stdev represents the coefficient of the standard deviation.
you can use it with other indicators:
Fibonacci Levels Based on Supertrend [By MUQWISHI]A “ Fibonacci Levels Based on Supertrend ” indicator is supertrend indicator planned with Fibonacci retracements levels. Fibonacci retracements provides a sequence of levels starting from 0% to 100% in addition to extension levels. 0% is measured to be the initial Supertrend line, and 100% is the previous Supertrend line where it has been broken by candle. This tool could be valuable in terms of managing trades by setting targets and reducing the risk in the trend direction.

Exponential Stochastic Strategywhat is Exponential Stochastic?
it is a modified version of the stochastic indicator. This strategy does not include pyramiding, repaint, trailing stop or take profit.
what it does?
It contains an extra input in addition to the stochastic indicator. Thanks to this input, different exponential weights can be given to the outputs and the indicator can be made more sensitive or insensitive. The strategy buys when the indicator leaves the overbought zone, sells when it leaves the oversold zone and always stays in the trade.
how it does it?
it uses this formula: i.hizliresim.com
Thanks to this formula, even if the weights given to the outputs change, the indicator always continues to take a value between 0 and 100.

With the input named "exp", you can change the sensitivity of the indicator and develop different strategies. other inputs are the same as the stochastic indicator. Increasing the exp value causes the indicator to signal less, decreasing it makes it much more sensitive.
Limited Fisher Transformwhat is Limited Fisher Transform?
This indicator is a compressed version of the Fisher transform indicator between 100 and 0 values.
what it does?
It allows us to define overbought and oversold zones by compressing the values of the "fisher transform" indicator between 0 and 100. also these zones are the same for every timeframe and trading pair, just like RSI.
how it does it?
it use this formula:
x = fisher transform values
a = average
how to use it?
its use is indistinguishable from the standard fisher. You can use it to set alarms for overbought and oversold zones. so you will be notified when a possible opportunity arises in the market.
Body / Range %Body / Range is a volatility indicator that shows how many percentages the body candle occupies the range.
The ratio tells us about the health and confidence of the current candlestick.
Since overall candle Range is always bigger than the body range, Body/Range indicator will always fluctuate inside a range of 0 and 100%.
I didn't use True Range because it considers gaps and the ratio won't be considering individual candles. Therefore, I used high - low and identified it as Range.
In this function, the wicks play obviously role in determining the ratio too without its variable separately in the formula. I wouldn't use wicks here because Range = body + total wicks anyway. It already covers the variable. If I made the ratio with Body / Total Wicks, we wouldn't have stable 0 - 100% range of the indicator by the way. So it's fully justified dividing Body by Range to get some summarized Candle Metrics.
Logically we assume that if wicks are relatively bigger than body then the ratio will be relatively smaller and vice versa.
Change TF of the indicator is possible. For example, 3 months per bar would look like this:
PSAR-Support ResistanceParabolic Support Resistance -PSAR SR is based on the Dynamic Reversal Points of Price. This indicator eliminates the false signals of regular Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse). The Price of previous SAR Reversal point is plotted as Support and Resistance. The idea is to trade only after the previous reversal point is crossed and a new candle formation above / below the support resistance lines.
Price moves sideways in between the S/R Lines mostly.
Buy and Sell Signals are based on normal P-SAR settings however this S/R must be considered. Please be aware that the indicator cannot be used as a stand alone. Please make required confirmations before going into action.
Disclaimer: Please use it at your own Risk.
Bollinger Bands SignalsDescription:
This indicator works well in trendy markets on long runs and in mean-reverting markets, at almost any timeframe.
That said, higher timeframes are much preferred for their intrinsic ability to cut out noise. The example chart is in 3H TF.
Be mindful, the script shows somewhat erratic jigsaw-like behaviour during consolidation periods when the price
jumps up and down in indecision which way to go. Fortunately, there are scripts out there that detect such periods.
You can choose between 4 Moving Averages, Vidya being the default. Period, Deviation and Bands Width parameters
all of them affect the signal generation.
For the Pine Script coder this script is pretty obvious.
It uses a standard technical analysis indicator - Bollinger Bands - and appends it with a 'width' parameter and
a signal generation procedure.
The signal generation procedure is the heart of this script that keeps the script pumping signals.
The BB width is used as a filter.
You can use this procedure in your own scripts and it will continue generate signals according to your rules.
