Vol-Sensitivity Ratio: dVIX% / dSPX%Vol-Sensitivity Ratio: dVIX% / dSPX%
Hey guys — I built a custom TradingView indicator to track how reactive the VIX is to SPX moves.
It’s basically a quick visual on market fear vs. complacency, and how volatility responds in real time.
How It Works
Calculates the ratio of VIX % change ÷ SPX % change
Shows color-coded zones for market behavior:
🔴 SPX & VIX rising → Bearish divergence
🟠 Weak VIX response → Complacency
🟩 Normal inverse → Healthy market
🟣 Extreme ratio → Volatility stress
How to Use
Add the script to your TradingView chart
Choose mode → Since Session Open (intraday) or From Prior Close (swing)
Watch the ratio line, color bands, and mini dashboard (shows dVIX%, dSPX%, and ratio)
It also supports alerts for when the market enters stress, divergence, or complacency zones.
Why I Made It
@HEK often talks about VIX, VVIX, and volatility dynamics during trading.
That got me thinking about how to actually quantify the relationship instead of just “watching” it.
thanks to chatgpt I was able to turn into a visual
Now I’ll be forward-testing it in live markets and on a few prop accounts to see how useful it is in real-time conditions.
Feel free to try it out, tweak it, and share feedback or observations. Would love to see how it performs for others too.

Squeeze Momentum IndicatorThis indicator identifies periods of low market volatility—commonly referred to as a "squeeze"—by comparing Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. When volatility compresses, price often prepares for a directional breakout. The histogram visualizes momentum strength and direction once the squeeze ends.
**How it works:**
- **Squeeze detection**: A squeeze is active when Bollinger Bands are fully contained within Keltner Channels. This appears as black crosses on the zero line.
- **Volatility expansion**: When Bollinger Bands move outside Keltner Channels, volatility is increasing. This state is marked with blue crosses.
- **Momentum histogram**: The core signal is a linear regression of price relative to a dynamic baseline (average of the highest high, lowest low, and SMA over the lookback period).
- **Aqua**: Positive momentum that is accelerating.
- **Bright blue**: Positive momentum that is decelerating.
- **Yellow**: Negative momentum that is accelerating downward.
- **Orange**: Negative momentum that is decelerating (potential reversal zone).
**Usage notes:**
Traders often monitor the transition from squeeze (black) to expansion (blue) combined with a strong histogram move away from zero as a potential entry signal. Color changes in the histogram help assess momentum shifts before price makes large moves.

Binary Options Fast Scalping [TradingFinder] M1 & M5 Signals🔵 Introduction
In the structure of financial markets, spiky moments and sudden price movements play a key role in Liquidity Grabs and Market Structure Resets. These movements usually occur after the accumulation of orders in Buy Side or Sell Side Liquidity zones and are accompanied by rapid breaks in the form of Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
At this stage, the market temporarily moves in the direction of liquidity to trigger counter orders and then enters a Retracement or Pullback phase, a point where professional traders using the Smart Money Concept (SMC) look for candle confirmation to enter with precision.
This strategy is built upon the same logic : an initial spiky move as a signal of institutional or liquidity driven algorithms, followed by a controlled pullback toward areas such as the Order Block, Fair Value Gap (FVG), or Imbalance Zone, and finally an entry based on a strong confirmation candle (Engulf, Rejection, Breaker) that defines the true direction of order flow.
This combination of price behavior, especially on lower timeframes such as M1 or M5, provides an ideal setup for fast Scalping, Micro Structure Trading, and even short term directional prediction in Binary Options Trading.
Since the main focus of this method is on identifying liquidity phases, structural confirmations, and momentum confirmation candles, the trader can design entries with high probability and logical stop loss placement using the concepts of Fractal Market Structure and Multi Timeframe Confirmation.
In the scalping version, the main objective is to capture the move toward the next liquidity pool or opposite demand and supply zone, while in the binary version, only the prediction of the next candle’s direction matters. This strategy inherently operates based on Smart Money Behavior, Liquidity Engineering, and Order Flow Dynamics, allowing the extraction of fast and profitable moves from the internal logic of market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The operational logic of this strategy is based on Liquidity Sweep, Pullback, and Confirmation Candle. The trader should first identify the initial Impulse Move, which is often accompanied by liquidity absorption around Buy Side or Sell Side Liquidity areas. After that, the market enters the Retracement phase and returns to structural zones such as the Order Block or the Fair Value Gap (FVG).
At this point, a position is taken only when a confirmation candle (Engulf, Breaker, or Rejection Candle) closes in the direction of continuation and aligns with the new structure (BOS or CHoCH). Applying this model on lower timeframes offers the highest precision for fast Scalping or for predicting the next candle’s direction in Binary Option trading.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the bullish setup, the market first forms a spiky upward move with a sudden increase in momentum, indicating the activation of liquidity flow in the Buy Side Liquidity zone. This movement is usually accompanied by a Break of Structure (BOS) to the upside and marks the beginning of the Impulse Move phase. After this move, the price enters the Pullback phase and returns to structural areas such as the Bullish Order Block, Fair Value Gap (FVG), or Mitigation zone.
At this stage, the trader waits for a bullish confirmation candle (Bullish Engulf or Breaker Candle) to validate the end of the retracement. Entry is made at the close of the confirmation candle or on a minor pullback, with the stop loss placed below the Swing Low or below the pullback zone. The target is set at the next Buy Side Liquidity or Equal Highs. In the binary version, only the direction of the next candle matters and the entry takes place immediately after the confirmation candle.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the bearish setup, the market first forms a spiky downward move, signaling increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption at the Sell Side Liquidity zone. This movement is accompanied by a Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside and represents the beginning of a bearish momentum phase. After the spike, the price enters the Retracement phase and returns to the Bearish Order Block or bearish Fair Value Gap zone. Within these areas, the formation of a bearish confirmation candle (Bearish Engulf, Breaker, or Rejection Candle) validates the continuation of the downtrend.
The entry is taken at the close of the confirmation candle, with the stop loss placed above the Swing High or above the pullback zone, and the target set toward the next Sell Side Liquidity or Equal Lows. In binary applications, only the direction of the next candle is considered and the confirmation candle serves as the entry trigger.
🔵 Conclusion
This strategy, by combining the principles of the Smart Money Concept, Liquidity Dynamics, and Candle Confirmation Logic, offers a precise and multi functional approach to market entry. Its core structure, identifying the initial spiky movement, waiting for a structural pullback, and entering based on a confirmation candle allows quick interpretation of institutional liquidity behavior and provides trading opportunities with high accuracy and controlled risk.
On lower timeframes, this logic becomes a powerful tool for Scalping and Micro Structure Trading, while in binary markets it delivers high success rates due to its focus on predicting the next candle’s direction. Built upon the foundations of Order Flow, Market Structure, and Fractal Liquidity Behavior, this strategy demonstrates that even in the fastest and noisiest market conditions, the order of Smart Money remains observable and exploitable.
Turtle Strategy - Triple EMA Trend with ADX and ATRDescription
The Triple EMA Trend strategy is a directional momentum system built on the alignment of three exponential moving averages and a strong ADX confirmation filter. It is designed to capture established trends while maintaining disciplined risk management through ATR-based stops and targets.
Core Logic
The system activates only under high-trend conditions, defined by the Average Directional Index (ADX) exceeding a configurable threshold (default: 43).
A bullish setup occurs when the short-term EMA is above the mid-term EMA, which in turn is above the long-term EMA, and price trades above the fastest EMA.
A bearish setup is the mirror condition.
Execution Rules
Entry:
• Long when ADX confirms trend strength and EMA alignment is bullish.
• Short when ADX confirms trend strength and EMA alignment is bearish.
Exit:
• Stop Loss: 1.8 × ATR below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the entry price.
• Take Profit: 3.3 × ATR in the direction of the trade.
Both parameters are configurable.
Additional Features
• Start/end date inputs for controlled backtesting.
• Selective activation of long or short trades.
• Built-in commission and position sizing (percent of equity).
• Full visual representation of EMAs, ADX, stop-loss, and target levels.
This strategy emphasizes clean trend participation, strict entry qualification, and consistent reward-to-risk structure. Ideal for swing or medium-term testing across trending assets.
Fury by Tetrad Fury by Tetrad
What it is:
A rules-based Bollinger+RSI strategy that fades extremes: it looks for price stretching beyond Bollinger Bands while RSI confirms exhaustion, enters countertrend, then exits at predefined profit multipliers or optional stoploss. “Ultra Glow” visuals are purely cosmetic.
How it works — logic at a glance
Framework: Classic Bollinger Bands (SMA basis; configurable length & multiplier) + RSI (configurable length).
Long entries:
Price closes below the lower band and RSI < Long RSI threshold (default 28.3) → open LONG (subject to your “Market Direction” setting).
Short entries:
Price closes above the upper band and RSI > Short RSI threshold (default 88.4) → open SHORT.
Profit exits (price targets):
Uses simple multipliers of the strategy’s average entry price:
Long exit = `entry × Long Exit Multiplier` (default 1.14).
Short exit = `entry × Short Exit Multiplier` (default 0.915).
Risk controls:
Optional pricebased stoploss (disabled by default) via:
Long stop = `entry × Long Stop Factor` (default 0.73).
Short stop = `entry × Short Stop Factor` (default 1.05).
Directional filter:
“Market Direction” input lets you constrain entries to Market Neutral, Long Only, or Short Only.
Visuals:
“Ultra Glow” draws thin layered bands around upper/basis/lower; these do not affect signals.
> Note: Inputs exist for a timebased stop tracker in code, but this version exits via targets and (optional) price stop only.
Why it’s different / original
Explicit extreme + momentum pairing: Entries require simultaneous band breach and RSI exhaustion, aiming to avoid entries on gardenvariety volatility pokes.
Deterministic exits: Multiplier-based targets keep results auditable and reproducible across datasets and assets.
Minimal, unobtrusive visuals: Thin, layered glow preserves chart readability while communicating regime around the Bollinger structure.
Inputs you can tune
Bollinger: Length (default 205), Multiplier (default 2.2).
RSI: Length (default 23), Long/Short thresholds (28.3 / 88.4).
Targets: Long Exit Mult (1.14), Short Exit Mult (0.915).
Stops (optional): Enable/disable; Long/Short Stop Factors (0.73 / 1.05).
Market Direction: Market Neutral / Long Only / Short Only.
Visuals: Ultra Glow on/off, light bar tint, trade labels on/off.
How to use it
1. Timeframe & assets: Works on any symbol/timeframe; start with liquid majors and 60m–1D to establish baseline behavior, then adapt.
2. Calibrate thresholds:
Narrow/meanreverting markets often tolerate tighter RSI thresholds.
Fast/volatile markets may need wider RSI thresholds and stronger stop factors.
3. Pick realistic targets: The default multipliers are illustrative; tune them to reflect typical mean reversion distance for your instrument/timeframe (e.g., ATRinformed profiling).
4. Risk: If enabling stops, size positions so risk per trade ≤ 1–2% of equity (max 5–10% is a commonly cited upper bound).
5. Mode: Use Long Only or Short Only when your discretionary bias or higher timeframe model favors one side; otherwise Market Neutral.
Recommended publication properties (for backtests that don’t mislead)
When you publish, set your strategy’s Properties to realistic values and keep them consistent with this description:
Initial capital: 10,000 (typical retail baseline).
Commission: ≥ 0.05% (adjust for your venue).
Slippage: ≥ 2–3 ticks (or a conservative pertrade value).
Position sizing: Avoid risking > 5–10% equity per trade; fixedfractional sizing ≤ 10% or fixedcash sizing is recommended.
Dataset / sample size: Prefer symbols/timeframes yielding 100+ trades over the tested period for statistical relevance. If you deviate, say why.
> If you choose different defaults (e.g., capital, commission, slippage, sizing), explain and justify them here, and use the same settings in your publication.
Interpreting results & limitations
This is a countertrend approach; it can struggle in strong trends where band breaches compound.
Parameter sensitivity is real: thresholds and multipliers materially change trade frequency and expectancy.
No predictive claims: Past performance is not indicative of future results. The future is unknowable; treat outputs as decision support, not guarantees.
Suggested validation workflow
Try different assets. (TSLA, AAPL, BTC, SOL, XRP)
Run a walkforward across multiple years and market regimes.
Test several timeframes and multiple instruments. (30m Suggested)
Compare different commission/slippage assumptions.
Inspect distribution of returns, max drawdown, win/loss expectancy, and exposure.
Confirm behavior during trend vs. range segments.
Alerts & automation
This release focuses on chart execution and visualization. If you plan to automate, create alerts at your entry/exit conditions and ensure your broker/venue fills reflect your slippage/fees assumptions.

TrendShield Pro | DinkanWorldSmart Trailing Trend System Powered by EMA + ATR
TrendShield Pro is a powerful trend detection and trailing stop indicator designed for traders who rely on pure price movement and volatility tracking.
It dynamically adapts to market conditions using a combination of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and ATR (Average True Range) to identify the active trend and place a visual trailing stop line.
🔍 How It Works
TrendShield Pro combines trend direction and volatility to create a self-adjusting trailing system:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
Smooths price fluctuations and identifies the overall market bias.
ATR (Average True Range):
Measures volatility to determine how far the trailing stop should follow the trend.
Dynamic Bands:
Two invisible thresholds are formed — up and down — around the EMA using the ATR and your chosen Factor value.
Trailing Logic:
When the EMA is rising, the Trailing Stop (TUp) locks in higher lows.
When the EMA is falling, the Trailing Stop (TDown) locks in lower highs.
The indicator switches trend automatically based on price crossing these trailing levels.
🧭 Visuals & Features
Green Trailing Line (Demand Trend): Indicates an active bullish trend.
Red Trailing Line (Supply Trend): Indicates an active bearish trend.
Arrow Signals:
🟢 Up Arrow → Bullish Trend Reversal
🔴 Down Arrow → Bearish Trend Reversal
Diamond Markers: Show points where the trailing line shifts, marking dynamic volatility changes.

Lorentzian Harmonic Flow - Temporal Market Dynamic Lorentzian Harmonic Flow - Temporal Market Dynamic (⚡LHF)
By: DskyzInvestments
What this is
LHF Pro is a research‑grade analytical instrument that models market time as a compressible medium , extracts directional flow in curved time using heavy‑tailed kernels, and consults a history‑based memory bank for context before synthesizing a final, bounded probabilistic score . It is not a mashup; each subsystem is mathematically coupled to a single clock (time dilation via gamma) and a single lens (Lorentzian heavy‑tailed weighting). This script is dense in logic (and therefore heavy) because it prioritizes rigor, interpretability, and visual clarity.
Intended use
Education and research. This tool expresses state recognition and regime context—not guarantees. It does not place orders. It is fully functional as published and contains no placeholders. Nothing herein is financial advice.
Why this is original and useful
Curved time: Markets do not move at a constant pace. LHF Pro computes a Lorentz‑style gamma (γ) from relative speed so its analytical windows contract when the tape accelerates and relax when it slows.
Heavy‑tailed lens: Lorentzian kernels weight information with fat tails to respect rare but consequential extremes (unlike Gaussian decay).
Memory of regimes: A K‑nearest‑neighbors engine works in a multi‑feature space using Lorentz kernels per dimension and exponential age fade , returning a memory bias (directional expectation) and assurance (confidence mass).
One ecosystem: Squeeze, TCI, flow, acceleration, and memory live on the same clock and blend into a single final_score —visualized and documented on the dashboard.
Cognitive map: A 2D heat map projects memory resonance by age and flow regime, making “where the past is speaking” visible.
Shadow portfolio metaphor: Neighbor outcomes act like tiny hypothetical positions whose weighted average forms an educational pressure gauge (no execution, purely didactic).
Mathematical framework (full transparency)
1) Returns, volatility, and speed‑of‑market
Log return: rₜ = ln(closeₜ / closeₜ₋₁)
Realized vol: rv = stdev(r, vol_len); vol‑of‑vol: burst = |rv − rv |
Speed‑of‑market (analog to c): c = c_multiplier × (EMA(rv) + 0.5 × EMA(burst) + ε)
2) Trend velocity and Lorentz gamma (time dilation)
Trend velocity: v = |close − close | / (vel_len × ATR)
Relative speed: v_rel = v / c
Gamma: γ = 1 / √(1 − v_rel²), stabilized by caps (e.g., ≤10)
Interpretation: γ > 1 compresses market time → use shorter effective windows.
3) Adaptive temporal scale
Adaptive length: L = base_len / γ^power (bounded for safety)
Harmonic horizons: Lₛ = L × short_ratio, Lₘ = L × mid_ratio, Lₗ = L × long_ratio
4) Lorentzian smoothing and Harmonic Flow
Kernel weight per lag i: wᵢ = 1 / (1 + (d/γ)²), d = i/L
Horizon baselines: lw_h = Σ wᵢ·price / Σ wᵢ
Z‑deviation: z_h = (close − lw_h)/ATR
Harmonic Flow (HFL): HFL = (w_short·zₛ + w_mid·zₘ + w_long·zₗ) / (w_short + w_mid + w_long)
5) Flow kinematics
Velocity: HFL_vel = HFL − HFL
Acceleration (curvature): HFL_acc = HFL − 2·HFL + HFL
6) Squeeze and temporal compression
Bollinger width vs Keltner width using L
Squeeze: BB_width < KC_width × squeeze_mult
Temporal Compression Index: TCI = base_len / L; TCI > 1 ⇒ compressed time
7) Entropy (regime complexity)
Shannon‑inspired proxy on |log returns| with numerical safeguards and smoothing. Higher entropy → more chaotic regime.
8) Memory bank and Lorentzian k‑NN
Feature vector (5D):
Outcomes stored: forward returns at H5, H13, H34
Per‑dimension similarity: k(Δ) = 1 / (1 + Δ²), weighted by user’s feature weights
Age fading: weight_age = mem_fade^age_bars
Neighbor score: sᵢ = similarityᵢ × weight_ageᵢ
Memory bias: mem_bias = Σ sᵢ·outcomeᵢ / Σ sᵢ
Assurance: mem_assurance = Σ sᵢ (confidence mass)
Normalization: mem_bias normalized by ATR and clamped into band
Shadow portfolio metaphor: neighbors behave like micro‑positions; their weighted net forward return becomes a continuous, adaptive expectation.
9) Blended score and breakout proxy
Blend factor: α_mem = 0.45 + 0.15 × (γ − 1)
Final score: final_score = (1−α_mem)·tanh(HFL / (flow_thr·1.5)) + α_mem·tanh(mem_bias_norm)
Breakout probability (bounded): energy = cap(TCI−1) + |HFL_acc|×k + cap(γ−1)×k + cap(mem_assurance)×k; breakout_prob = sigmoid(energy). Caps avoid runaway “100%” readings.
Inputs — every control, purpose, mechanics, and tuning
🔮 Lorentz Core
Auto‑Adapt (Vol/Entropy): On = L responds to γ and entropy (breathes with regime), Off = static testing.
Base Length: Calm‑market anchor horizon. Lower (21–28) for fast tapes; higher (55–89+) for slow.
Velocity Window (vel_len): Bars used in v. Shorter = more reactive γ; longer = steadier.
Volatility Window (vol_len): Bars used for rv/burst (c). Shorter = more sensitive c.
Speed‑of‑Market Multiplier (c_multiplier): Raises/lowers c. Lower values → easier γ spikes (more adaptation). Aim for strong trends to peak around γ ≈ 2–4.
Gamma Compression Power: Exponent of γ in L. <1 softens; >1 amplifies adaptation swings.
Max Kernel Span: Upper bound on smoothing loop (quality vs CPU).
🎼 Harmonic Flow
Short/Mid/Long Horizon Ratios: Partition L into fast/medium/slow views. Smaller short_ratio → faster reaction; larger long_ratio → sturdier bias.
Weights (w_short/w_mid/w_long): Governs HFL blend. Higher w_short → nimble; higher w_long → stable.
📈 Signals
Squeeze Strictness: Threshold for BB1 = compressed (coiled spring); <1 = dilated.
v/c: Relative speed; near 1 denotes extreme pacing. Diagnostic only.
Entropy: Regime complexity; high entropy suggests caution, smaller size, or waiting for order to return.
HFL: Curved‑time directional flow; sign and magnitude are the instantaneous bias.
HFL_acc: Curvature; spikes often accompany regime ignition post‑squeeze.
Mem Bias: Directional expectation from historical analogs (ATR‑normalized, bounded). Aligns or conflicts with HFL.
Assurance: Confidence mass from neighbors; higher → more reliable memory bias.
Squeeze: ON/RELEASE/OFF from BB
Squeeze Momentum with ADX Filter and Multi-Cycle WavesTitle:
Squeeze Momentum with ADX Filter and Multi-Cycle Waves
Description:
This indicator integrates three well-established technical analysis methodologies into a single oscillator to help traders assess volatility compression, trend strength, and cyclical momentum alignment:
Squeeze Momentum (TTM-style) – Based on Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, it identifies periods of low volatility ("the squeeze") followed by directional breakouts. The histogram reflects momentum using linear regression relative to a dynamic centerline. Positive values indicate upward momentum; negative values indicate downward momentum.
ADX with DI+/DI- (Welles Wilder, 1978) – The Average Directional Index is dynamically scaled to match the visual range of the Squeeze histogram. A user-defined Key Level (default: 32) serves as a reference threshold: when ADX rises above this level, it suggests a strong trend is present. DI+ (green) and DI- (red) show directional bias.
Multi-Cycle Waves (55/144/233) – Inspired by adaptive cycle analysis and MACD-style oscillators, these smoothed momentum waves help identify confluence across multiple timeframes. They are optional and appear as shaded areas when enabled.
Key Features:
The Squeeze Momentum Line appears as black/gray crosses at the zero level, indicating momentum polarity without visual clutter.
The Key Level is shown as a thick gray horizontal line, representing the ADX threshold in the scaled oscillator space.
ADX is plotted with increased line width (3) for better visibility.
All components are dynamically scaled to share the same vertical axis, enabling direct visual comparison.

ATR Adaptive (auto timeframe)This indicator automatically adjusts the Average True Range (ATR) period based on the current chart timeframe, helping traders define dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels that adapt to market volatility.
The ATR measures the average range of price movement over a defined number of bars. By using adaptive periods, the indicator ensures that volatility is interpreted consistently across different timeframes — from 1-minute charts to daily or weekly charts.
It plots two main levels on the chart:
🔴 Low – ATR × Multiplier → Suggested Stop Loss (below the candle’s low)
🟢 High + ATR × Multiplier → Suggested Take Profit or trailing level (above the candle’s high)
Optional additional lines show ATR-based TP levels calculated from the current close.
💡 How to use
Select your desired ATR multiplier (e.g., 1.3× for SL, 1.0× for TP).
The script automatically detects the chart timeframe and uses an appropriate ATR length (e.g., ATR(30) on M5, ATR(21) on H1, ATR(14) on Daily).
Use the plotted levels to:
Set Stop Loss just below the red ATR band (for long trades).
Set Take Profit near or slightly below the green ATR band (for short trades, reverse logic).
⚙️ Why it helps
Maintains consistent volatility-based risk across multiple timeframes.
Avoids arbitrary fixed SL/TP values.
Makes the trading strategy more responsive in high-volatility markets and more conservative when volatility contracts.
Particularly useful for intraday and swing trading, where volatility varies significantly between sessions.
Daily ATR Zones
Dynamic Daily ATR Projection Zones
### **Description:**
This indicator projects potential price levels for the current trading day based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the previous day. It is designed to help intraday traders visualize daily volatility and identify key potential support, resistance, or target levels that are fixed for the entire session and do not repaint.
**How It Works**
The logic is based on two key components: a stable base price and a reliable volatility measure.
* **Base Price:** The indicator uses the **Open price of the current day** as the central anchor point for all projections.
* **Volatility Measure:** The calculation uses the final, completed **ATR value from the previous day**. This ensures that the projected zones are constant throughout the current trading day and are not subject to repainting.
The projection levels are then calculated using the formula:
`Current Day's Open + (Previous Day's ATR * Multiplier)`
**Features**
This script is fully customizable to fit your trading style:
* **Customizable ATR Multipliers:** Easily define your own price zones by entering a comma-separated list of multipliers (e.g., `0.5, 1.0, 1.5, -0.5, -1.0`).
* **Dynamic & Movable Labels:** The price labels are designed to stay on the right edge of the chart, ensuring they never obscure the current price action.
* **Adjustable Label Position:** Use the "Label Horizontal Offset" setting to control how far the labels are positioned from the current bar, keeping your chart clean.
* **Adjustable Label Size:** Choose from five different sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge) to ensure the labels are perfectly readable on any device.
* **Toggle Labels:** You can turn all labels on or off with a single checkbox.
* **Full Color Customization:** Set unique colors for the positive (upper), negative (lower), and neutral projection zones.
**How to Use**
This tool can be integrated into various intraday trading strategies:
* **Intraday Targets:** The projected levels can serve as potential take-profit or stop-loss targets for scalpers and day traders.
* **Support & Resistance:** Watch for price reactions, such as bounces or rejections, at these ATR levels, as they often act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
* **Volatility Gauge:** The zones provide a quick visual reference for how far the price has moved relative to its recent average daily range. For example, if the price reaches the `1.0 ATR` level, it has completed an "average" day's move.

The 0-100 normalization, while providing consistency, may obscure the raw values and specific nuances of each underlying indicator
Table-based visualization cannot be exported or saved as an image separately from the full chart screenshot
Optimal parameter settings vary by asset type, timeframe, and market conditions, requiring user experimentation for best results
💡 What Makes This Unique
Unified Multi-Metric Interface: The only gauge-style indicator offering 13 distinct metrics through a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple oscillator panels
Non-Overlapping Analytics: Each metric provides genuinely unique insights—MFI combines volume with price, CCI measures statistical deviation, Volatility Rank uses extended lookback, Trend Strength quantifies directional movement, and Choppiness Index measures ranging behavior
Universal Normalization System: All metrics standardized to 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate algorithms that preserve statistical meaning while enabling consistent visual interpretation
Professional Visual Design: Semi-circular gauge with 21 arc segments, precision needle positioning, color-coded zones, and clean table implementation that maintains clarity across all chart configurations
Extensive Customization: Independent parameter controls for each metric, five position options, three size presets, and full color customization for seamless workspace integration
🔬 How It Works
1. Metric Calculation Phase:
All 13 metrics are calculated simultaneously on every bar using their respective algorithms with user-defined parameters
Each metric applies its own specific calculation method—RSI uses average gains vs losses, Stochastic compares close to high-low range, MFI incorporates typical price and volume, CCI measures deviation from statistical mean, ATR calculates true range, directional indicators measure up/down movement, and statistical metrics analyze price relationships
2. Normalization Process:
Each calculated metric is converted to a standardized 0-100 scale using indicator-appropriate transformations
Some metrics are naturally 0-100 (RSI, Stochastic, MFI, Williams %R), while others require scaling—CCI transforms from ±200 range, Momentum centers around 50, Volume ratio caps at 2x for 100, ATR and Volatility Rank calculate percentile positions, and Price Distance scales by standard deviations
3. Gauge Rendering:
The selected metric’s normalized value determines the needle position across 21 arc segments spanning 0-100
Each arc segment receives its color based on position—segments 0-8 are green zone, segments 9-14 are yellow zone, segments 15-20 are red zone
The needle indicator (▼) appears in row 5 at the column corresponding to the current metric value, providing precise visual feedback
4. Table Construction:
The gauge uses TradingView’s table system with merged cells for title and value display, ensuring consistent positioning regardless of chart configuration
Rows are allocated as follows: Row 0 merged for title, Row 1 merged for large value display, Row 2 for spacing, Rows 3-4 for the semi-circular arc with curved shaping, Row 5 for needle indicator, Row 6 for scale markers, Row 7 for numerical labels at 0/25/50/75/100
All visual elements update on every bar when barstate.islast is true, ensuring real-time accuracy without performance impact
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed for visual analysis and market condition assessment, not as a standalone trading system. For best results, combine gauge readings with price action analysis, support and resistance levels, and broader market context. Parameter optimization is recommended based on your specific trading timeframe and asset class. The gauge works on all timeframes but may require different parameter settings for intraday versus daily/weekly analysis. Consider using multiple instances of the gauge set to different metrics for comprehensive market analysis without switching between settings.
India VIX Based Nifty/BankNifty Range Calculator (Auto Fetch)VIX-Based Expected Daily Range (Auto Volatility Forecast)
Created by: Harshiv Symposium
📖 Purpose
This indicator automatically fetches the India VIX value and calculates the expected daily price range for major Indian indices such as Nifty and BankNifty.
It helps traders understand how much the market is likely to move today based on current volatility conditions.
Designed for educational and analytical awareness, not for signals or profit-making systems.
⚙️ Core Logic
Expected Daily Move (Range) = (India VIX × Current Index Price) ÷ Multiplier
- Multiplier for Nifty: 1000
- Multiplier for BankNifty: 700
This calculation projects the 1-standard-deviation (≈ 68% probability) and 2-standard-deviation (≈ 95% probability) movement zones for the day.
📊 Example
If India VIX = 15 and Nifty = 25,000:
Expected Move ≈ (15 × 25,000) ÷ 1000 = 375 points
Hence,
- 68% Range: 24,625 – 25,375
- 95% Range: 24,250 – 25,750
This gives traders a realistic idea of daily volatility boundaries.
🧭 Key Features
✅ Auto-Fetch India VIX
No need for manual input — automatically pulls live data from NSE:INDIAVIX.
✅ Dynamic Range Visualization
Plots upper/lower boundaries for 1σ and 2σ probability zones with shaded expected-move area.
✅ Dashboard Panel
Displays:
- Current VIX
- Expected Move (in points and %)
- Upper and Lower Ranges
✅ Smart Alerts
Alerts when price crosses upper or lower volatility range — potential breakout signal.
🎯 How It Helps
Intraday Traders:
Know the likely daily movement (e.g., ±220 pts on Nifty) and plan realistic targets or stops.
Options Traders:
Quickly assess whether it’s a seller-friendly (low VIX, small range) or buyer-friendly (high VIX, large range) session.
Risk Managers:
Use volatility context for stop-loss width and position sizing.
Breakout Traders:
If price breaks beyond the 2σ range → indicates potential volatility expansion.

Volume Spike (Multi-Timeframe)Volume Spike (Multi-Timeframe)
Overview
Volume Spike (Multi-Timeframe) evaluates traded volume against its moving average on a selected timeframe so traders can identify when activity departs from recent norms.
What it does
Calculates volume on the chart timeframe or any alternate timeframe you select in the inputs.
Builds a configurable simple moving average to establish a rolling volume benchmark.
Applies distinct colors to spike and baseline volume columns to highlight deviations.
Plots the related moving-average line for reference.
Registers an alert condition when volume closes above its moving-average baseline.
How to use it
Choose the desired Volume Timeframe (leave blank to inherit the chart’s period).
Tune the Volume MA Length to balance responsiveness and noise.
Adjust the spike, base, and MA colors to align with existing chart styling.
Enable the alert condition when automated notification of spikes is needed.
Implementation notes
Timeframe selection is applied consistently to both the raw volume series and its moving average.
Color inputs allow visual adjustments without modifying code.
Alert messaging specifies that the event is a volume spike relative to the selected timeframe baseline.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should thoroughly test any strategy before implementing it with real capital.
Bollinger Band ToolkitBollinger Band Toolkit
An advanced, adaptive Bollinger Band system for traders who want more context, precision, and edge.
This indicator expands on the classic Bollinger Bands by combining statistical and volatility-based methods with modern divergence and squeeze detection tools. It helps identify volatility regimes, potential breakouts, and early momentum shifts — all within one clean overlay.
🔹 Core Features
1. Adaptive Bollinger Bands (σ + ATR)
Classic 20-period bands enhanced with an ATR-based volatility adjustment, making them more responsive to true market movement rather than just price variance.
Reduces “overreacting” during chop and avoids bands collapsing too tightly during trends.
2. %B & RSI Divergence Detection
🟢 Green dots: Positive %B divergence — price makes a lower low, but %B doesn’t confirm (bullish).
🔴 Red dots: Negative %B divergence — price makes a higher high, but %B doesn’t confirm (bearish).
✚ Red/green crosses: RSI divergence confirmation — momentum fails to confirm the price’s new extreme.
These signals highlight potential reversal or slowdown zones that are often invisible to the naked eye.
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze (with Volume Filter)
Yellow squares (■) show periods when Bollinger Bands are at their narrowest relative to recent history.
Volume confirmation ensures the squeeze only triggers when both volatility and participation contract.
Often marks the “calm before the storm” — breakout potential zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Breakout Markers
Optionally displays breakouts from higher or lower timeframes using different colors/symbols.
Lets you see when a higher timeframe band break aligns with your current chart — a strong trend continuation signal.
5. Dual- and Triple-Band Visualization (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ)
Optional inner (±1σ) and outer (±3σ) bands provide a layered volatility map:
Price holding between ±1σ → stable range / mean-reverting behavior
Price riding near ±2σ → trending phase, sustained momentum
Price touching or exceeding ±3σ → volatility expansion or exhaustion zone
This triple-band layout visually distinguishes normal movement from statistical extremes, helping you read when the market is balanced, expanding, or approaching its limits.
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Choose band type (SMA/EMA/SMMA/WMA/VWMA)
Adjust deviation multiplier (σ) and ATR multiplier
Toggle individual features (divergence dots, squeeze markers, inner bands, etc.)
Multi-timeframe and colour controls for advanced users
🧠 How to Use
Watch for squeeze markers followed by a breakout bar beyond ±2σ → volatility expansion signal.
Combine divergence dots with RSI or price structure to anticipate slowdowns or reversals.
Confirm direction using multi-timeframe breakouts and volume expansion.
💬 Why It Works
This toolkit transforms qualitative chart reading (tight bands, hidden divergence) into quantitative, testable conditions — giving you objective insights that can be backtested, coded, or simply trusted in live setups.

Triple SuperTrend + RSI + Fib BBTriple SuperTrend + RSI + Fibonacci Bollinger Bands Strategy
📊 Overview
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of three SuperTrend indicators with RSI confirmation and Fibonacci Bollinger Bands to generate high-probability trade signals. The strategy is designed to capture strong trending moves while filtering out false signals through multi-indicator confluence.
🔧 Core Components
Three SuperTrend Indicators
The strategy uses three SuperTrend indicators with progressively longer periods and multipliers:
SuperTrend 1: 10-period ATR, 1.0 multiplier (fastest, most sensitive)
SuperTrend 2: 11-period ATR, 2.0 multiplier (medium sensitivity)
SuperTrend 3: 12-period ATR, 3.0 multiplier (slowest, most stable)
This layered approach ensures that all three timeframe perspectives align before generating a signal, significantly reducing false entries.
RSI Confirmation (7-period)
The Relative Strength Index acts as a momentum filter:
Long signals require RSI > 50 (bullish momentum)
Short signals require RSI < 50 (bearish momentum)
This prevents entries during weak or divergent price action.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (200, 2.618)
Uses a 200-period Simple Moving Average with 2.618 standard deviation bands (Fibonacci ratio). These bands serve dual purposes:
Visual representation of price extremes
Automatic exit trigger when price reaches overextended levels
📈 Entry Logic
LONG Entry (BUY Signal)
A LONG position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn green (bullish)
RSI(7) is above 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
SHORT Entry (SELL Signal)
A SHORT position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn red (bearish)
RSI(7) is below 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
🚪 Exit Logic
Positions are automatically closed when ANY of these conditions occur:
SuperTrend Color Change: Any one of the three SuperTrend indicators changes direction
Fibonacci BB Touch: Price reaches or exceeds the upper or lower Fibonacci Bollinger Band (2.618 standard deviations)
This dual-exit approach protects profits by:
Exiting quickly when trend momentum shifts (SuperTrend change)
Taking profits at statistical price extremes (Fib BB touch)
🎨 Visual Features
Signal Arrows

💡 Strategy Philosophy
This strategy is built on the principle of confluence trading - waiting for multiple independent indicators to align before taking a position. By requiring three SuperTrend indicators AND RSI confirmation, the strategy filters out the majority of low-probability setups.
The multi-timeframe SuperTrend approach ensures that short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trends are all in agreement, which typically occurs during strong, sustainable price moves.
The exit strategy is equally important, using both trend-following logic (SuperTrend changes) and mean-reversion logic (Fibonacci BB touches) to adapt to different market conditions.
📊 Best Use Cases
Trending Markets: Works best in markets with clear directional bias
Higher Timeframes: Designed for 15-minute to daily charts
Volatile Assets: SuperTrend indicators excel in assets with clear trends
Swing Trading: Hold times typically range from hours to days
⚠️ Important Notes
No Repainting: All signals are confirmed and will not change on historical bars
One Signal Per Setup: The strategy prevents duplicate signals on consecutive bars
Exit Protection: Always exits before potentially taking an opposite position
Visual Clarity: All three SuperTrend lines are visible simultaneously for transparency
🎯 Recommended Settings
While default parameters are optimized for general use, consider:
Crypto/Volatile Markets: May benefit from slightly higher multipliers
Forex: Default settings work well for major pairs
Stocks: Consider longer BB periods (250-300) for daily charts
Lower Timeframes: Reduce all periods proportionally for scalping

VMS Momentum Trend Matrix Indicator [09.00 to 23.30]VMS Momentum Trend Matrix Indicator - Detailed Explanation
🎯 Overview & Core Philosophy
This is a multi-dimensional trading and a multi-confirmation system that combines 4 independent analytical approaches into one unified framework. The indicator operates on the principle of "consensus trading" - where signals are only considered reliable when multiple systems confirm each other. The system is designed for 9:00 AM to 23:30 PM trading sessions (Indian Market) with dynamic support/resistance levels.
Five Pillars of Analysis:
1. Trend Matrix – Multiple indicator voting system
2. Momentum Suite – Multiple Hybrid oscillator
3. Volume Analysis - Buy/sell pressure quantification
4. Key Level Identification - Dynamic support/resistance
5. EMA Trend: Indicates the overall long-term direction.
📊 DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION - ROW BY ROW
ROW 1: Indicator Name and Cell background colour changes with Trend Matrix
ROW 2: EMA ANALYSIS (It analyses independently and does not combine this analysis with the Combined Analysis and Trading View. Background Colour on price chart is based on this)
Purpose: Long-term trend identification using Exponential Moving Averages
What to Watch:
• Major Trend: Overall market direction (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
• Bullish Condition: All EMAs aligned upward
• Bearish Condition: All EMAs aligned downward
• Neutral: Mixed alignment
Trading Significance:
• Trading Condition: Current bias based on EMA alignment
• Bullish Market: Focus on LONG positions only
• Bearish Market: Focus on SHORT positions only
• Neutral Market: Wait for clearer direction
ROW 3-4: KEY LEVELS
Purpose: Dynamic support and resistance identification
Levels to Monitor:
• VMS Line-1 (Support): Dynamic Support for long positions
• VMS Line-2 (Resistance): Dynamic Resistance for short positions
• Up/Down: Daily base levels from opening price calculations
• Up: Daily support level based on opening price
• Down: Daily resistance level based on opening price
How Levels Work:
• Wait for Line-1 and 2 Crossing
• In the Upward movement, Line-1 will move with the price, and Line-2 will be moved as a straight line
• In the Downward movement, Line-2 will move with the price, and Line-2 will be moved as a straight line
• Provide clear entry/exit points
• If the price is between these levels, it is mostly a sideways market. After the Upward movement, if the price crosses Line-1 and other bearish conditions are supported, a short position can be taken. And in the Downward movement, it is the reverse condition.
• If the price is above the up level, it can be considered as bullish and below as bearish
ROW 5-6: VOLUME ANALYSIS
Purpose: Measure buying vs selling pressure
Key Metrics:
• Total Buy Volume: Cumulative buying pressure
• Total Sell Volume: Cumulative selling pressure

Adaptive CE-VWAP Breakout Framework [KedArc Quant]📘 Description
A structured framework that unites three complementary systems into one charting engine:
>Chandelier Exit (CE) – ATR-based trailing logic that defines trend direction, stop placement, and risk/reward overlays.
>Swing-Anchored VWAP (SWAV) – a dynamically anchored VWAP that re-starts from each confirmed swing and adapts its smoothness to volatility.
>Pivot S/R with Volume Breaks – confirmed horizontal levels with alerts when broken on expanding volume.
This script builds a single workflow for bias → trigger → management>without mixing unrelated indicators. Each module is internally linked rather than layered cosmetically, making it a true analytical framework—not.
🙏 Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP by @Zeiierman, whose swing-anchoring concept inspired a part of the SWAV module’s implementation and adaptation logic.
Support and Resistance Levels with Breaks by @luxalgo for S/R breakout logic.
🎯 How this helps traders
>Trend clarity – CE color-codes direction and provides evolving stops.
>Context value – SWAV traces adaptive mean paths so traders see where price is “heavy” or “light.”
>Action filter – Pivot+volume logic highlights true structural breaks, filtering false moves.
>Discipline tool – Optional R:R boxes visualize risk and target zones to enforce planning.
🧩 Entry / Exit guidelines (for study purposes only)
Bias Use CE direction: green = long bias · red = short bias
Entry
1. Breakout method>– Trade in CE direction when a pivot level breaks on valid volume.
2. VWAP confirmation>– Prefer breaks occurring around the nearest SWAV path (fair-value cross or re-test).
Exit
>Stop = CE line / recent swing HL / ATR × (multiplier)
>Target = R-multiple × risk (default 2 R)
>Optional live update keeps SL/TP aligned with current CE state.
🧮 Core formula concepts
>ATR Stop: `Stop = High/Low – ATR × multiplier`
>VWAP calc: `Σ(price × vol) / Σ(vol)` anchored at swing pivot, adapted by APT (Adaptive Price Tracking) ratio ∝ ATR volatility.
>Volume oscillator: `100 × (EMA₅ – EMA₁₀)/EMA₁₀`; valid break when > threshold %.

T3 ATR [DCAUT]█ T3 ATR
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The T3 ATR indicator represents an important enhancement to the traditional Average True Range (ATR) indicator by incorporating the T3 (Tilson Triple Exponential Moving Average) smoothing algorithm. While standard ATR uses fixed RMA (Running Moving Average) smoothing, T3 ATR introduces a configurable volume factor parameter that allows traders to adjust the smoothing characteristics from highly responsive to heavily smoothed output.
This innovation addresses a fundamental limitation of traditional ATR: the inability to adapt smoothing behavior without changing the calculation period. With T3 ATR, traders can maintain a consistent ATR period while adjusting the responsiveness through the volume factor, making the indicator adaptable to different trading styles, market conditions, and timeframes through a single unified implementation.
The T3 algorithm's triple exponential smoothing with volume factor control provides improved signal quality by reducing noise while maintaining better responsiveness compared to traditional smoothing methods. This makes T3 ATR particularly valuable for traders who need to adapt their volatility measurement approach to varying market conditions without switching between multiple indicator configurations.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The T3 ATR calculation process involves two distinct stages:
Stage 1: True Range Calculation
The True Range (TR) is calculated using the standard formula:
TR = max(high - low, |high - close |, |low - close |)
This captures the greatest of the current bar's range, the gap from the previous close to the current high, or the gap from the previous close to the current low, providing a comprehensive measure of price movement that accounts for gaps and limit moves.
Stage 2: T3 Smoothing Application
The True Range values are then smoothed using the T3 algorithm, which applies six exponential moving averages in succession:
First Layer: e1 = EMA(TR, period), e2 = EMA(e1, period)
Second Layer: e3 = EMA(e2, period), e4 = EMA(e3, period)
Third Layer: e5 = EMA(e4, period), e6 = EMA(e5, period)
Final Calculation: T3 = c1×e6 + c2×e5 + c3×e4 + c4×e3
The coefficients (c1, c2, c3, c4) are derived from the volume factor (VF) parameter:
a = VF / 2
c1 = -a³
c2 = 3a² + 3a³
c3 = -6a² - 3a - 3a³
c4 = 1 + 3a + a³ + 3a²
The volume factor parameter (0.0 to 1.0) controls the weighting of these coefficients, directly affecting the balance between responsiveness and smoothness:
Lower VF values (approaching 0.0): Coefficients favor recent data, resulting in faster response to volatility changes with minimal lag but potentially more noise
Higher VF values (approaching 1.0): Coefficients distribute weight more evenly across the smoothing layers, producing smoother output with reduced noise but slightly increased lag
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Volatility Level Interpretation:
High Absolute Values: Indicate strong price movements and elevated market activity, suggesting larger position risks and wider stop-loss requirements, often associated with trending markets or significant news events
Low Absolute Values: Indicate subdued price movements and quiet market conditions, suggesting smaller position risks and tighter stop-loss opportunities, often associated with consolidation phases or low-volume periods
Rapid Increases: Sharp spikes in T3 ATR often signal the beginning of significant price moves or market regime changes, providing early warning of increased trading risk
Sustained High Levels: Extended periods of elevated T3 ATR indicate sustained trending conditions with persistent volatility, suitable for trend-following strategies
Sustained Low Levels: Extended periods of low T3 ATR indicate range-bound conditions with suppressed volatility, suitable for mean-reversion strategies
Volume Factor Impact on Signals:
Low VF Settings (0.0-0.3): Produce responsive signals that quickly capture volatility changes, suitable for short-term trading but may generate more frequent color changes during minor fluctuations
Medium VF Settings (0.4-0.7): Provide balanced signal quality with moderate responsiveness, filtering out minor noise while capturing significant volatility changes, suitable for swing trading
High VF Settings (0.8-1.0): Generate smooth, stable signals that filter out most noise and focus on major volatility trends, suitable for position trading and long-term analysis
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Position Sizing Strategy:
Determine your risk per trade (e.g., 1% of account capital - adjust based on your risk tolerance and experience)
Decide your stop-loss distance multiplier (e.g., 2.0x T3 ATR - this varies by market and strategy, test different values)
Calculate stop-loss distance: Stop Distance = Multiplier × Current T3 ATR
Calculate position size: Position Size = (Account × Risk %) / Stop Distance
Example: $10,000 account, 1% risk, T3 ATR = 50 points, 2x multiplier → Position Size = ($10,000 × 0.01) / (2 × 50) = $100 / 100 points = 1 unit per point
Important: The ATR multiplier (1.5x - 3.0x) should be determined through backtesting for your specific instrument and strategy - using inappropriate multipliers may result in stops that are too tight (frequent stop-outs) or too wide (excessive losses)
Adjust the volume factor to match your trading style: lower VF for responsive stop distances in short-term trading, higher VF for stable stop distances in position trading
Dynamic Stop-Loss Placement:
Determine your risk tolerance multiplier (typically 1.5x to 3.0x T3 ATR)
For long positions: Set stop-loss at entry price minus (multiplier × current T3 ATR value)
For short positions: Set stop-loss at entry price plus (multiplier × current T3 ATR value)
Trail stop-losses by recalculating based on current T3 ATR as the trade progresses
Adjust the volume factor based on desired stop-loss stability: higher VF for less frequent adjustments, lower VF for more adaptive stops
Market Regime Identification:
Calculate a reference volatility level using a longer-period moving average of T3 ATR (e.g., 50-period SMA)
High Volatility Regime: Current T3 ATR significantly above reference (e.g., 120%+) - favor trend-following strategies, breakout trades, and wider targets
Normal Volatility Regime: Current T3 ATR near reference (e.g., 80-120%) - employ standard trading strategies appropriate for prevailing market structure
Low Volatility Regime: Current T3 ATR significantly below reference (e.g., <80%) - favor mean-reversion strategies, range trading, and prepare for potential volatility expansion
Monitor T3 ATR trend direction and compare current values to recent history to identify regime transitions early
Risk Management Implementation:
Establish your maximum portfolio heat (total risk across all positions, typically 2-6% of capital)
For each position: Calculate position size using the formula Position Size = (Account × Individual Risk %) / (ATR Multiplier × Current T3 ATR)
When T3 ATR increases: Position sizes automatically decrease (same risk %, larger stop distance = smaller position)
When T3 ATR decreases: Position sizes automatically increase (same risk %, smaller stop distance = larger position)
This approach maintains constant dollar risk per trade regardless of market volatility changes
Use consistent volume factor settings across all positions to ensure uniform risk measurement
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
ATR Length Parameter:
Default Setting: 14 periods
This is the standard ATR calculation period established by Welles Wilder, providing balanced volatility measurement that captures both short-term fluctuations and medium-term trends across most markets and timeframes
Selection Principles:
Shorter periods increase sensitivity to recent volatility changes and respond faster to market shifts, but may produce less stable readings
Longer periods emphasize sustained volatility trends and filter out short-term noise, but respond more slowly to genuine regime changes
The optimal period depends on your holding time, trading frequency, and the typical volatility cycle of your instrument
Consider the timeframe you trade: Intraday traders typically use shorter periods, swing traders use intermediate periods, position traders use longer periods
Practical Approach:
Start with the default 14 periods and observe how well it captures volatility patterns relevant to your trading decisions
If ATR seems too reactive to minor price movements: Increase the period until volatility readings better reflect meaningful market changes
If ATR lags behind obvious volatility shifts that affect your trades: Decrease the period for faster response
Match the period roughly to your typical holding time - if you hold positions for N bars, consider ATR periods in a similar range
Test different periods using historical data for your specific instrument and strategy before committing to live trading
T3 Volume Factor Parameter:
Default Setting: 0.7
This setting provides a reasonable balance between responsiveness and smoothness for most market conditions and trading styles
Understanding the Volume Factor:
Lower values (closer to 0.0) reduce smoothing, allowing T3 ATR to respond more quickly to volatility changes but with less noise filtering
Higher values (closer to 1.0) increase smoothing, producing more stable readings that focus on sustained volatility trends but respond more slowly
The trade-off is between immediacy and stability - there is no universally optimal setting
Selection Principles:
Match to your decision speed: If you need to react quickly to volatility changes for entries/exits, use lower VF; if you're making longer-term risk assessments, use higher VF
Match to market character: Noisier, choppier markets may benefit from higher VF for clearer signals; cleaner trending markets may work well with lower VF for faster response
Match to your preference: Some traders prefer responsive indicators even with occasional false signals, others prefer stable indicators even with some delay
Practical Adjustment Guidelines:
Start with default 0.7 and observe how T3 ATR behavior aligns with your trading needs over multiple sessions
If readings seem too unstable or noisy for your decisions: Try increasing VF toward 0.9-1.0 for heavier smoothing
If the indicator lags too much behind volatility changes you care about: Try decreasing VF toward 0.3-0.5 for faster response
Make meaningful adjustments (0.2-0.3 changes) rather than small increments - subtle differences are often imperceptible in practice
Test adjustments in simulation or paper trading before applying to live positions
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Responsiveness Characteristics:
The T3 smoothing algorithm provides improved responsiveness compared to traditional RMA smoothing used in standard ATR. The triple exponential design with volume factor control allows the indicator to respond more quickly to genuine volatility changes while maintaining the ability to filter noise through appropriate VF settings. This results in earlier detection of volatility regime changes compared to standard ATR, particularly valuable for risk management and position sizing adjustments.
Signal Stability:
Unlike simple smoothing methods that may produce erratic signals during transitional periods, T3 ATR's multi-layer exponential smoothing provides more stable signal progression. The volume factor parameter allows traders to tune signal stability to their preference, with higher VF settings producing remarkably smooth volatility profiles that help avoid overreaction to temporary market fluctuations.
Comparison with Standard ATR:
Adaptability: T3 ATR allows adjustment of smoothing characteristics through the volume factor without changing the ATR period, whereas standard ATR requires changing the period length to alter responsiveness, potentially affecting the fundamental volatility measurement
Lag Reduction: At lower volume factor settings, T3 ATR responds more quickly to volatility changes than standard ATR with equivalent periods, providing earlier signals for risk management adjustments
Noise Filtering: At higher volume factor settings, T3 ATR provides superior noise filtering compared to standard ATR, producing cleaner signals for long-term analysis without sacrificing volatility measurement accuracy
Flexibility: A single T3 ATR configuration can serve multiple trading styles by adjusting only the volume factor, while standard ATR typically requires multiple instances with different periods for different trading applications
Suitable Use Cases:
T3 ATR is well-suited for the following scenarios:
Dynamic Risk Management: When position sizing and stop-loss placement need to adapt quickly to changing volatility conditions
Multi-Style Trading: When a single volatility indicator must serve different trading approaches (day trading, swing trading, position trading)
Volatile Markets: When standard ATR produces too many false volatility signals during choppy conditions
Systematic Trading: When algorithmic systems require a single, configurable volatility input that can be optimized for different instruments
Market Regime Analysis: When clear identification of volatility expansion and contraction phases is critical for strategy selection
Known Limitations:
Like all technical indicators, T3 ATR has limitations that users should understand:
Historical Nature: T3 ATR is calculated from historical price data and cannot predict future volatility with certainty
Smoothing Trade-offs: The volume factor setting involves a trade-off between responsiveness and smoothness - no single setting is optimal for all market conditions
Extreme Events: During unprecedented market events or gaps, T3 ATR may not immediately reflect the full scope of volatility until sufficient data is processed
Relative Measurement: T3 ATR values are most meaningful in relative context (compared to recent history) rather than as absolute thresholds
Market Context Required: T3 ATR measures volatility magnitude but does not indicate price direction or trend quality - it should be used in conjunction with directional analysis
Performance Expectations:
T3 ATR is designed to help traders measure and adapt to changing market volatility conditions. When properly configured and applied:
It can help reduce position risk during volatile periods through appropriate position sizing
It can help identify optimal times for more aggressive position sizing during stable periods
It can improve stop-loss placement by adapting to current market conditions
It can assist in strategy selection by identifying volatility regimes
However, volatility measurement alone does not guarantee profitable trading. T3 ATR should be integrated into a comprehensive trading approach that includes directional analysis, proper risk management, and sound trading psychology.
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes. T3 ATR provides adaptive volatility measurement but has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. The indicator measures historical volatility patterns, and past volatility characteristics do not guarantee future volatility behavior. Market conditions can change rapidly, and extreme events may produce volatility readings that fall outside historical norms.
Traders should combine T3 ATR with directional analysis tools, support/resistance analysis, and other technical indicators to form a complete trading strategy. Proper backtesting and forward testing with appropriate risk management is essential before applying T3 ATR-based strategies to live trading. The volume factor parameter should be optimized for specific instruments and trading styles through careful testing rather than assuming default settings are optimal for all applications.
