Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast combines volatility envelopes from Bollinger Bands with a linear regression-based projection model .
It visualizes both current and future price zones by extrapolating the Bollinger channel forward in time, giving traders a statistical forecast of probable support and resistance behavior.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Classic Bollinger Bands use a moving average (basis) and standard deviation (deviation) to form dynamic envelopes around price.
This indicator enhances them with linear regression slope detection , allowing it to forecast how the band may expand or contract in the future.
Regression is applied to both the band’s basis and deviation components to predict their trajectory for a user-defined number of Forecast Bars .
The resulting forecast creates a smoothed, funnel-shaped projection that dynamically adapts to volatility.
▲ and ▼ markers highlight potential mean reversion points when price crosses the outer bounds of the bands.
🔵 FEATURES
Forecast Engine : Uses linear regression to project Bollinger Band movement into the future.
Dynamic Channel Width : Adapts standard deviation and slope for realistic volatility modeling.
Auto-Labeled Levels : Displays live upper and lower forecast values for quick reference.
Cross Signals : Marks potential overbought and oversold zones with ▲/▼ signals when price exits the band.
Trend-Adaptive Basis Color : Basis line automatically switches color to represent short-term trend direction.
Customizable Colors and Widths for complete visual control.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to visualize both current Bollinger structure and its forward projection.
Use ▲/▼ breakout markers to identify short-term reversals or volatility shifts.
When price consistently rides the upper band forecast, the trend is strong and likely continuing.
When regression shows narrowing bands ahead, expect a volatility contraction or consolidation period.
For range traders, outer projected bands can be used as potential mean reversion entry points .
Combine with volume or momentum filters to confirm whether breakouts are genuine or fading.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Bollinger Bands Regression Forecast transforms classic Bollinger analysis into a predictive forecasting model .
By merging volatility dynamics with regression-based extrapolation, it provides traders with a forward-looking visualization of likely price boundaries — revealing not only where volatility is but also where it’s heading next.

Price Drop CounterThe Price Drop Counter is a very basic statistical indicator.
See it as an analytical tool that tracks how many times an asset's price has dropped by a specified percentage from its recent peak within a defined date range.
The indicator monitors the highest price reached and counts each occurrence when the price falls by your chosen threshold, then resets its peak tracking point after each drop is registered.
Uses
Volatility Assessment: Measure how frequently significant price corrections occur during specific periods
Market Behavior Analysis: Compare drop frequency across different timeframes or market conditions
Risk Evaluation: Identify assets or periods with higher downside volatility
Historical Pattern Recognition: Study how often major pullbacks happened during bull or bear markets
Backtesting Support: Analyze how your strategy would perform based on the frequency of drawdowns
How to use it
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
Configure the Percent Drop (%) to define your threshold (default: 10%). The indicator will count each time price falls by this percentage from the most recent high
IMPORTANT Set your Start Date and End Date to analyze a specific period of interest
The blue step-line plot shows the cumulative count of drops within your date range
Adjust the percentage threshold based on your analysis needs - use smaller values (2-5%) for more frequent signals or larger values (15-20%) for major corrections only
The counter resets its high-water mark after each qualifying drop, allowing it to track multiple sequential drops within the same period.
Day Open ± Ø DailyRangeScript Function Description
This indicator draws two horizontal dashed lines during the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session.
The upper line is calculated as the RTH Open price plus the average daily range (based on the last 10 days).
The lower line is calculated as the RTH Open price minus the average daily range.
🔍 How it works
Average Daily Range (ADR): The script requests daily candles and computes the 10‑day simple moving average of the daily range (High–Low). This value remains constant throughout the trading day.
RTH Detection: The script identifies the first bar of the RTH session (e.g., 09:00 local exchange time). The open price of this bar is stored as the RTH Open.
Line Creation: At the first RTH bar, two dashed lines are drawn:
Green line above the RTH Open (Open + ADR).
Red line below the RTH Open (Open – ADR).
Dynamic Extension: As new bars appear, the lines are automatically extended to the current bar, keeping their Y‑values constant. This ensures the levels remain visible throughout the session.
✅ What Users See
A green dashed line above the RTH Open, marking the typical upside boundary.
A red dashed line below the RTH Open, marking the typical downside boundary.
Both lines start at the first RTH bar and extend to the latest bar of the session.
This helps traders quickly assess whether price action is staying within or breaking beyond the typical daily range relative to the RTH Open.

ATR Risk Display - Multi FuturesWhat This Does
I got tired of manually calculating my ATR stops and risk for different futures contracts, especially when switching between ES, NQ, and their micro versions. This indicator automatically detects what futures symbol you're trading and shows you the exact tick count and dollar risk for your stop loss.
The Problem It Solves
If you trade futures with ATR-based stops, you know the hassle:
Different contracts have different tick values
You need to calculate position risk in dollars
Switching between symbols means redoing all the math
Renko charts make it even more confusing since ATR needs to come from regular candles
This handles all of that automatically.
Key Features
Auto-detects futures symbols - ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, and all the micros (MES, MNQ, etc.)
Shows everything you need in one line: ATR(timeframe) × multiplier = X ticks ($XXX)
Works on Renko charts - pulls ATR from regular timeframe charts (super important if you use Renko)
Adjustable position sizing - set your contract count and see total risk instantly
Clean, minimal display - just the info you need, no clutter
How to Use
Add it to any futures chart
Set your preferred ATR timeframe (I use 5-minute)
Set your ATR multiplier (I use 1.5x for my stops)
Set your contract size
That's it - the indicator handles the rest
The display will show something like: "ES ATR(5) × 1.5 = 12 ticks ($150)"
Settings Explained
ATR Timeframe: What timeframe to calculate ATR from (always uses regular candles, even on Renko)
ATR Multiplier: How many ATRs for your stop (1.5 is common, 2.0 for wider stops)
Number of Contracts: Your position size for risk calculation
Auto-Detect Symbol: Leave on unless you want to manually override
Supported Futures
Full size: ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, CL, ZB, ZN, 6E, 6J
Micros: MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL
Notes
Made this primarily for my own ES trading but figured others might find it useful
The tick values are based on standard CME specs
If you trade other futures, you can modify the code to add them
Works great alongside level indicators for risk management
Why This Exists
I use ATR trailing stops on all my trades and got tired of doing mental math every time I switched between charts or contracts. Especially useful if you trade both full-size and micro contracts - the risk difference is huge and easy to mess up.
Hope this helps your trading! Feel free to suggest improvements.
Turtle 20-Day Breakout (Donchian)Yes, the most important indicator used in the Turtle Rules (Turtle Trading Strategy) for finding breakouts above previous highs is the Donchian Channel. 🐢📈
Donchian Channel
The Donchian Channel is a trend-following indicator composed of three lines plotted on the chart:
Shutterstock
Upper Band: The highest high over the defined number of periods.
Lower Band: The lowest low over the defined number of periods.
Middle Line: The average of the Upper and Lower bands (not always used, but sometimes added for orientation).
The Turtle Rules use the following periods for the entry signals (breakouts) you mentioned in your query:
Short-Term (System 1): Crossing the 20-day high (this corresponds to the upper band of a Donchian Channel with a 20-period setting).
Mid-Term/Long-Term (System 2): Crossing the 55-day high (this corresponds to the upper band of a Donchian Channel with a 55-period setting).
Crossing the upper band signals a breakout and serves as the buy signal for a long position (for short positions, crossing below the lower band is used).
Is there anything else I can translate for you, or would you like me to elaborate on the Average True Range (ATR), the other key indicator used by the Turtles?

Average True Range with MAKey features
ATR calculation: true range (ta.tr(true)) is smoothed using a selectable method to produce the ATR.
ATR smoothing options: RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for the ATR calculation.
MA-on-ATR: a separate moving average computed on the ATR values with its own length and smoothing method.
Display controls: toggles to show/hide the ATR and the ATR MA independently.
Appearance controls: separate color inputs for the ATR and the ATR MA, and a thicker line for the MA (linewidth=2).
Inputs
ATR Length (default 14): length used to smooth true range into the ATR.
ATR Smoothing (default RMA): smoothing method applied to the true range to form ATR.
MA Length (on ATR) (default 14): length for the moving average applied to the ATR series.
MA Smoothing (default SMA): smoothing method used for the MA applied to ATR.
Show ATR / Show ATR MA: booleans to toggle visibility.
ATR Color / ATR MA Color: choose plot colors.
How to interpret
ATR line: shows current volatility (average true range). Rising ATR indicates increasing volatility; falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.
ATR MA line: smooths the ATR to reveal trend direction and reduce noise.
Use crossovers: ATR crossing above its MA may signal volatility is picking up; ATR crossing below its MA suggests volatility is subsiding.
Combine with price action or other indicators (e.g., breakout systems, position sizing rules) to make decisions based on volatility regime.

ORB + INMERELO ADR + ATRThis indicator provides **two completely different but complementary lines of information** for intraday traders:
# **1. The ORB Line (ADR-Based Context Line)**
The ORB portion of the script focuses on **range expansion** relative to typical daily behavior.
### **What it measures**
* **20-day ADR (Average Daily Range)**
* **Today’s range as a % of ADR**
* **How much of the average range has been “used”** by the time you’re considering an Opening Range Breakout
### **Why it matters for ORB trading**
Successful ORBs thrive when:
* **ADR used% is low** (green) → plenty of fuel left for expansion
* **ADR used% is moderate** (orange) → breakout still possible but less explosive
* **ADR used% is high** (red) → breakout attempts often fail or reverse
### **What the indicator gives you**
A clean, color-coded readout of:
* ADR
* Today’s range
* Used%
* A simple green/orange/red evaluation of ORB quality
This allows a trader to quickly judge whether **conditions favor ORB continuation or mean-reversion reversal**—without manually calculating ranges or switching charts.
---
# **2. The INMERELO Line (ATR Stretch + MA Interaction)**
The INMERELO portion of the script is built around **mean-reversion mechanics**:
the market tends to revert back toward the **first daily MA it crosses under**.
### **How it determines the active MA**
At the start of each session, the script waits for price to cross under:
* **EMA10**
* **EMA21**
* **SMA50**
Whichever MA is crossed first becomes the **active MA** for the day.
If no cross has occurred yet, the indicator shows the **nearest MA**, so traders know exactly what the likely “INMERELO magnet” will be.
### **What it measures**
* **Stretch from the active MA (in ATR units)**
* **20-day ATR regime direction (expanding or contracting)**
* **Daily MA context: E10, E21, or S50**
### **Why it matters for INMERELOs**
This provides:
* The **target MA**
* The **distance to that MA in ATRs**
* A color-coded stretch score:
* **0.6–1.2 ATR** → prime INMERELO zone (Green)
* Moderately stretched → Orange
* Overstretched or dead zone → Red
An up/down arrow shows whether **volatility is expanding or compressing**, which affects expected retrace behavior.
### **What the indicator gives you**
All INMERELO data is displayed in a second compact line:
* Stretch to MA
* Active MA label (E10/E21/S50)
* ATR regime arrow
This allows fast identification of high-probability **mean-reversion trades back to the MA**.
---
# **Summary**
This indicator shows:
### **Line 1 → ORB Context (ADR)**
* Is the stock setup for a powerful breakout?
* How much ADR is left?
* Are you early (good) or late (risky)?
### **Line 2 → INMERELO Context (ATR + MA Stretch)**
* Which MA is in control today (EMA10, EMA21, or SMA50)?
* How many ATRs away from that MA are we?
* Is volatility expanding or contracting?
* Is this a clean INMERELO setup or not?
Together, these two lines give traders the **two most important intraday lenses**:
**range expansion (ORB)** and **mean reversion (INMERELO)**—updated every bar, without clutter.

GEX / Gamma - SPX Indicator Description – GEX / Gamma (SPX)
This indicator allows you to manually plot your daily +GEX, TRANS-GEX, and –GEX levels on SPX and visualize how price reacts around key gamma zones.
You enter the three levels each morning, and the script automatically draws:
+GEX / TRANS / –GEX zones with an adjustable buffer
Clean labels (e.g., “+GEX: 6850”) pinned to the right side of the chart
Today-only candle coloring (green above TRANS-GEX, red below)
Zones extend from yesterday’s session through the current session, helping highlight areas where dealer hedging flows may influence volatility, compression, or acceleration.
How to Use
Add the indicator to any intraday SPX chart.
Open settings and enter your +GEX, TRANS-GEX, and –GEX levels for the day.
Adjust the buffer, colors, and label style as needed.
Watch how price behaves as it moves above or below TRANS-GEX and interacts with +/- GEX zones.
Best For
Intraday SPX / ES / SPY
Options traders
Volatility and gamma-aware strategies
Strategy Behind It (Tight Version)
GEX levels help identify where dealer hedging flows can influence SPX price behavior.
+GEX (Positive Gamma)
Market tends to stabilize here. Dealers hedge against price moves, creating mean-reversion and lower volatility.
TRANS-GEX (Transition Level)
Key pivot where gamma flips. Price crossing this level often signals a shift in volatility or intraday direction.
–GEX (Negative Gamma)
Market becomes more reactive. Dealers hedge with price, increasing volatility, momentum, and trend potential.
How traders use it:
Expect resistance or slowdown into +GEX
Watch for potential bottoming or increased volatility –GEX
Use TRANS-GEX as a bias line or trigger for intraday shifts
A move outside of either the +GEX or -GEX will likely result in some type of high volume move.
Swing Trade BUY/SELL + SCORING +COLOUR FIXBUY/SELL labels now appear with a score (1–3) next to them.
Color coding visually distinguishes signal strength:
BUY → 1 yellow, 2 light green, 3 dark green
SELL → 1 orange, 2 red, 3 burgundy
This allows you to instantly see the signal strength both numerically and visually.
VIX Calm vs Choppy (Bar Version, VIX High Threshold)This indicator tracks market stability by measuring how long the VIX stays below or above a chosen intraday threshold. Instead of looking at VIX closes, it uses VIX high, so even a brief intraday spike will flip the regime into “choppy.”
The tool builds a running clock of consecutive bars spent in each regime:
Calm regime: VIX high stays below the threshold
Choppy regime: VIX high hits or exceeds the threshold
Calm streaks plot as positive bars (light blue background).
Choppy streaks plot as negative bars (dark pink background).
This gives a clean picture of how long the market has been stable vs volatile — useful for trend traders, breakout traders, and anyone who watches risk-on/risk-off conditions. A table shows the current regime and streak length for quick reference.
Braid Filter StrategyThis strategy is like a sophisticated set of traffic lights and speed limit signs for trading. It only allows a trade when multiple indicators line up to confirm a strong move, giving it its "Braid Filter" name—it weaves together several conditions.
The strategy is set up to use 100% of your account equity (your trading funds) on a trade and does not "pyramid" (it won't add to an existing trade).
1. The Main Trend Check (The Traffic Lights)
The strategy uses three main filters that must agree before it considers a trade.
A. The "Chad Filter" (Direction & Strength)
This is the heart of the strategy, a custom combination of three different Moving AveragesThese averages have fast, medium, and slow settings (3, 7, and 14 periods).
Go Green (Buy Signal): The fastest average is higher than the medium average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated (not tangled up, which indicates a strong move).
Go Red (Sell Signal): The medium average is higher than the fastest average, AND the three averages are sufficiently separated.
Neutral (Wait): If the averages are tangled or the separation isn't strong enough.
Key Trigger: A primary condition for a signal is when the Chad Filter changes color (e.g., from Red/Grey to Green).
B. The EMA Trend Bars (Secondary Confirmation)
This is a simpler, longer-term filter using a 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It checks if the current candle's average price is above or below this EMA.
Green Bars: The price is above the 34 EMA (Bullish Trend).
Red Bars: The price is below the 34 EMA (Bearish Trend).
Trades only happen if the signal direction matches the bar color. For a Buy, the bar must be Green. For a Sell, the bar must be Red.
C. ADX/DI Filter (The Speed Limit Sign)
This uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Indicators (DI) to check if a trend is actually in motion and getting stronger.
Must-Have Conditions:
The ADX value must be above 20 (meaning there is a trend, not just random movement).
The ADX line must be rising (meaning the trend is accelerating/getting stronger).
The strategy will only trade when the trend is strong and building momentum.
2. The Trading Action (Entry and Exit)
When all three filters (Chad Filter color change, EMA Trend Bar color, and ADX strength/slope) align, the strategy issues a signal, but it doesn't enter immediately.
Entry Strategy (The "Wait-for-Confirmation" Approach):
When a Buy Signal appears, the strategy sets a "Buy Stop" order at the signal candle's closing price.
It then waits for up to 3 candles (Candles Valid for Entry). The price must move up and hit that Buy Stop price within those 3 candles to confirm the move and enter the trade.
A Sell Signal works the same way but uses a "Sell Stop" at the closing price, waiting for the price to drop and hit it.
Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit):
Stop Loss: To manage risk, the strategy finds a recent significant low (for a Buy) or high (for a Sell) over the last 20 candles and places the Stop Loss there. This is a logical place where the current move would be considered "broken" if the price reaches it.
Take Profit: It uses a fixed Risk:Reward Ratio (set to 1.5 by default). This means the potential profit (Take Profit distance) is $1.50 for every $1.00 of risk (Stop Loss distance).
3. Additional Controls
Time Filter: You can choose to only allow trades during specific hours of the day.
Visuals: It shows a small triangle on the chart where the signal happens and colors the background to reflect the Chad Filter's trend (Green/Red/Grey) and the candle bars to show the EMA trend (Lime/Red).
🎯 Summary of the Strategy's Goal
This strategy is designed to capture strong, confirmed momentum moves. It uses a fast, custom indicator ("Chad Filter") to detect the start of a new move, confirms that move with a slower trend filter (34 EMA), and then validates the move's strength with the ADX. By waiting a few candles for the price to hit the entry level, it aims to avoid false signals.

## 📊 How It Works
DAO calculates the ratio of buying pressure to total market pressure:
1. **Calculate Buying Pressure (DemandMax):**
- If current high > previous high: DemandMax = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMax = 0
2. **Calculate Selling Pressure (DemandMin):**
- If previous low > current low: DemandMin = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMin = 0
3. **Apply Smoothing:**
- Calculate SMA of DemandMax over N periods
- Calculate SMA of DemandMin over N periods
4. **Final Formula:**
```
DAO = SMA(DemandMax) / (SMA(DemandMax) + SMA(DemandMin))
```
This produces a normalized value (0-1) representing market demand strength.
