Dual Channel System [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend-following and reversal detection system that constructs dynamic support and resistance channels using volatility-adjusted ATR calculations and EMA smoothing for optimal market structure analysis. Utilizing advanced dual-zone methodology with step-like boundary evolution, this indicator delivers institutional-grade channel analysis that adapts to varying volatility conditions while providing high-probability entry and exit signals through breakthrough and rejection detection with comprehensive visual mapping and alert integration.
🔶 Advanced Channel Construction
Implements dual-zone architecture using recent price extremes as foundation points, applying EMA smoothing to reduce noise and ATR multipliers for volatility-responsive channel widths. The system creates resistance channels from highest highs and support channels from lowest lows with asymmetric multiplier ratios for optimal market reaction zones.
// Core Channel Calculation Framework
ATR = ta.atr(14)
// Resistance Channel Construction
Resistance_Basis = ta.ema(ta.highest(high, lookback), lookback)
Resistance_Upper = Resistance_Basis + (ATR * resistance_mult)
Resistance_Lower = Resistance_Basis - (ATR * resistance_mult * 0.3)
// Support Channel Construction
Support_Basis = ta.ema(ta.lowest(low, lookback), lookback)
Support_Upper = Support_Basis + (ATR * support_mult * 0.4)
Support_Lower = Support_Basis - (ATR * support_mult)
// Smoothing Application
Smoothed_Resistance_Upper = ta.ema(Resistance_Upper, smooth_periods)
Smoothed_Support_Lower = ta.ema(Support_Lower, smooth_periods)
🔶 Volatility-Adaptive Zone Framework
Features dynamic ATR-based width adjustment that expands channels during high-volatility periods and contracts during consolidation phases, preventing false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine breakouts. The asymmetric multiplier system optimizes zone boundaries for realistic market behavior patterns.
// Dynamic Volatility Adjustment
Channel_Width_Resistance = ATR * resistance_mult
Channel_Width_Support = ATR * support_mult
// Asymmetric Zone Optimization
Resistance_Zone = Resistance_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
Support_Zone = Support_Basis ± (ATR_Multiplied * )
🔶 Step-Like Boundary Evolution
Creates horizontal step boundaries that update on smoothed bound changes, providing visual history of evolving support and resistance levels with performance-optimized array management limited to 50 historical levels for clean chart presentation and efficient processing.
🔶 Comprehensive Signal Detection

samc's - Keltner OscillatorThe KELTNER CHANNEL is a widely used technical indicator developed in the 60's by Chester W. Keltner who described it in his 1960 book How To Make Money in Commodities.
so i took the logic, simplified the code and made into an oscillator.
to add a flavor of modern times you can choose among 10 different colorways themes in the settings. (so traders can adjust it for dark or light charts)
Although the initial idea was developed for stocks and commodities, I've carefully back tested this as an oscillator across FX MAJORS , MINORS and high liquidity stocks for the use case of scalping and Medium term trade ideas.
now, this indicator works successfully over all time frames, custom time frames and all assets.
This script builds on the same approach as my earlier session tool — keeping things clean, visual, and easy to read.
I intend to publish more of my work as i develop them from Beta ideas into stable scripts, and i welcome feedback.
Session Volatility MonitorOverview
Session Volatility Monitor is a versatile volatility indicator tailored for intraday and session-based trading. It computes the average maximum price deviation (either up or down) from the session's opening price over a user-specified number of prior days, providing insights into expected "room to move" in the current session. This helps traders gauge potential exhaustion points, set realistic targets or stops, and identify when a directional move has reached historical norms (flagged as "REACHED" with the exact price level).
Displayed via a customisable table and optional horizontal target lines, it's ideal for markets like forex, crypto, futures, or stocks where session volatility matters. The indicator supports custom sessions with timezone adjustments, making it adaptable to global trading hours (e.g., London, NY, or Asia kill zones). For assets with small tick sizes (e.g., forex pairs at 0.0001), a multiplier scales values for readability (e.g., showing pips as 67.0 instead of 0.00670).
Key Features
Session-Based Calculations:
Defines sessions via presets (e.g., "NY Kill Zone: 07:00-10:00") or custom HHMM-HHMM inputs. (please note that preset sessions are mainly for futures e.g. "Full Day18:01-17:00", but also can be useful for forex and crypto)
Adjustable UTC offset (e.g., -5 for ET) to align with your asset's timezone—ensures accurate detection regardless of TradingView's UTC internal clock.
Tracks the max one-sided move (high - open or open - low) per session, averaging over 1–N previous days (default: 14).
Table Display:
Avg Max Move: Historical average deviation, labeled with days averaged and session time.
Current Move: Real-time displacement from session open (positive for up, negative for down).
Room to Go Up/Down: Remaining distance to reach the average, updating live; appends "REACHED (price)" if hit during the session.
Customisable: Text color, font size (tiny to huge), position (e.g., bottom_left), and value scaling via multiplier/decimal places.
Target Lines:
Optional horizontal lines at "Up Target" (open + avg move) and "Down Target" (open - avg move).
Lines start at the session open bar and extend only through the session duration (e.g., stops at 12:00 for a 07:00-12:00 session)—no further projection post-session.
Fully customisable: Toggle on/off, color, style (solid/dotted/dashed), width, label text/background.
Display Adjustments for Forex/Crypto:
Multiplier: Scales raw values (e.g., set to 10000 for EURUSD to show pips like 45.0 instead of 0.0045).
Decimals: Controls precision (0–5 places) for table values.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Search for "Session Volatility Monitor" in TradingView's indicators and apply to your symbol (e.g., EURUSD for forex, NQ1! for futures, BTCUSD for crypto).
Configure Settings:
Select a session preset or custom range; adjust UTC offset if needed (e.g., +0 for UTC symbols like crypto).
Set "Number of Previous Days to Average" (e.g., 14 for a two-week look back).
For small-tick assets, set Multiplier (e.g., 100 for crypto points, 10000 for forex pips) and Decimals (e.g., 0 for whole numbers).
Customise table position/size/color and target lines for visibility.
Interpret Outputs:
Monitor the table for "room to go"—if Room Up is low/negative, upside might be limited; "REACHED" signals a potential reversal or exhaustion.
Use target lines as visual S/R levels; they auto-start at session open and halt at close.
Combine with price action, volume, or other indicators for entries (e.g., buy near down target if bullish bias).
Example Scenario:
Forex (GBPUSD, 1-min): Set session to "London Kill Zone: 02:00-05:00" (UTC+0), multiplier=10000. Table shows pips; lines mark expected highs/lows.
Limitations and Tips
Historical Data Limits: Averages are capped by TradingView's bar history (e.g., ~14 days on 1-min for free plans). Upgrade for deeper look backs or use higher timeframes.
Session Accuracy: Ensure UTC offset matches your chart—test with the "In Session" plot (enable in Style tab, zoom y-axis if columns are tiny).
No Alerts/Signals: Purely informational; add custom alerts via TradingView for "REACHED" conditions.
Performance: On very low timeframes with long sessions, lines might consume line limits (max ~50)—toggle off if needed.
Tips: For crypto/forex, experiment with multiplier to match your preferred units (e.g., points vs. decimals). Hide debug plot in Style tab for clean charts. If "REACHED" doesn't trigger, verify on historical data where moves exceed averages.
This tool draws from concepts like Average Daily Range but focuses on directional, session-specific volatility for precise intraday decision-making. Feedback welcome!

Relative Volatility Mass [SciQua]The ⚖️ Relative Volatility Mass (RVM) is a volatility-based tool inspired by the Relative Volatility Index (RVI) .
While the RVI measures the ratio of upward to downward volatility over a period, RVM takes a different approach:
It sums the standard deviation of price changes over a rolling window, separating upward volatility from downward volatility .
The result is a measure of the total “volatility mass” over a user-defined period, rather than an average or normalized ratio.
This makes RVM particularly useful for identifying sustained high-volatility conditions without being diluted by averaging.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────╮
How It Works
╰────────────╯
1. Standard Deviation Calculation
• Computes the standard deviation of the chosen `Source` over a `Standard Deviation Length` (`stdDevLen`).
2. Directional Separation
• Volatility on up bars (`chg > 0`) is treated as upward volatility .
• Volatility on down bars (`chg < 0`) is treated as downward volatility .
3. Rolling Sum
• Over a `Sum Length` (`sumLen`), the upward and downward volatilities are summed separately using `math.sum()`.
4. Relative Volatility Mass
• The two sums are added together to get the total volatility mass for the rolling window.
Formula:
RVM = Σ(σ up) + Σ(σ down)
where σ is the standard deviation over `stdDevLen`.
╭────────────╮
Key Features
╰────────────╯
Directional Volatility Tracking – Differentiates between volatility during price advances vs. declines.
Rolling Volatility Mass – Shows the total standard deviation accumulation over a given period.
Optional Smoothing – Multiple MA types, including SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA.
Bollinger Band Overlay – Available when SMA is selected, with adjustable standard deviation multiplier.
Configurable Source – Apply RVM to `close`, `open`, `hl2`, or any custom source.
╭─────╮
Usage
╰─────╯
Trend Confirmation: High RVM values can confirm strong trending conditions.
Breakout Detection: Spikes in RVM often precede or accompany price breakouts.
Volatility Cycle Analysis: Compare periods of contraction and expansion.
RVM is not bounded like the RVI, so absolute values depend on market volatility and chosen parameters.
Consider normalizing or using smoothing for easier visual comparison.
╭────────────────╮
Example Settings
╰────────────────╯
Short-term volatility detection: `stdDevLen = 5`, `sumLen = 10`
Medium-term trend volatility: `stdDevLen = 14`, `sumLen = 20`
Enable `SMA + Bollinger Bands` to visualize when volatility is unusually high or low relative to recent history.
╭───────────────────╮
Notes & Limitations
╰───────────────────╯
Not a directional signal by itself — use alongside price structure, volume, or other indicators.
Higher `sumLen` will smooth short-term fluctuations but reduce responsiveness.
Because it sums, not averages, values will scale with both volatility and chosen window size.
╭───────╮
Credits
╰───────╯
Based on the Relative Volatility Index concept by Donald Dorsey (1993).

Consensus Signal Matrix Pro [By TraderMan] Consensus Signal Matrix Pro 🌟
What Does It Do? 📊
Consensus Signal Matrix Pro is a comprehensive technical analysis indicator designed for financial markets. 🧠 It aggregates signals from over 30 popular technical indicators (e.g., EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, Ichimoku, etc.) to provide a unified BUY, SELL, or NEUTRAL recommendation. 💡 This tool helps traders make informed decisions by consolidating signals and presenting them in a clear table format. 📈 It is particularly suited for leveraged trading (without built-in TP/SL). 🚀
How Does It Work? 🔍
Multi-Indicator Analysis 🛠️:
The indicator calculates signals from 30 different technical indicators (e.g., EMA 9/21, RSI, MACD, Supertrend, Ichimoku, Williams %R, etc.).
Each indicator generates a BUY, SELL, or NEUTRAL signal based on price action and volume data.
For example: RSI < 30 triggers a "BUY" signal, while RSI > 70 triggers a "SELL" signal. 🔔
Signal Aggregation and Consensus 🤝:
All indicator signals are collected into an array.
The number of BUY, SELL, and NEUTRAL signals is counted.
A percentage difference (percentDiff) is calculated by dividing the difference between BUY and SELL signals by the total number of indicators.
Based on this difference:
>20%: General status is GENERAL BUY. ✅
<-20%: General status is GENERAL SELL. ❎
In between: General status is NEUTRAL. ⚖️
Position Recommendation 💸:
The position type is determined based on the general status:
GENERAL BUY → LONG position recommended. 📈
GENERAL SELL → SHORT position recommended. 📉
NEUTRAL → No position (NONE). 🚫
Table Visualization 📋:
The indicator displays all signals and the general status in a table located in the top-right corner of the TradingView chart. 🎨
The table lists each indicator’s name, its signal (BUY/SELL/NEUTRAL), total indicator count, BUY/SELL/NEUTRAL counts, general status, and position type. 🖼️
Color coding is used: Green (BUY), Red (SELL), Gray (NEUTRAL), Orange (headers). 🌈
How to Use It? 🛠️
Setup ⚙️:
Copy and paste the indicator code into the Pine Editor on TradingView and compile it. 🖥️
Add it to your chart (works on any timeframe, though it uses D1 data for daily ATR). ⏰
Review the Table 📖:
Check the table displayed in the top-right corner of the chart.
Review each indicator’s signal (BUY/SELL/NEUTRAL) and the overall signal distribution.
Focus on the GENERAL STATUS and POSITION TYPE rows. 🔎
Position Opening Decision 💰:
LONG Position: If GENERAL STATUS is "GENERAL BUY" and the table shows mostly green (BUY) signals, consider opening a LONG position. 📈
SHORT Position: If GENERAL STATUS is "GENERAL SELL" and the table shows mostly red (SELL) signals, consider opening a SHORT position. 📉
NEUTRAL Status: If the status is "NEUTRAL," avoid opening a position. ⚖️
Risk Management ⚠️:
The indicator does not include Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL) levels. You must apply your own risk management strategy.
Recommended: Use ATR-based volatility (shown in the table as ATR signal) or support/resistance levels to set manual TP/SL. 🛡️
Timeframe and Asset ⏳:
Can be used on any financial asset (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.).
Works on short-term (1H, 4H) or long-term (D1, W1) charts. Evaluate signal speed based on your timeframe. 📅
How to Open Positions? 🎯
Trust the General Status: Use GENERAL STATUS (GENERAL BUY or GENERAL SELL) as the primary guide. A strong percentage difference (>20% or <-20%) indicates a more reliable signal. ✅
Check Signal Strength: Look at the table to assess the number of BUY or SELL signals. For example, if 20 out of 30 indicators signal BUY, it’s a strong LONG signal. 💪
Align with Market Conditions: Before acting, analyze the broader market trend (bullish, bearish, or sideways). For instance, SELL signals may be less reliable in a strong bull market. 📡
Combine with Other Analyses: Use the indicator alongside support/resistance levels, news flow, or fundamental analysis for confirmation. 🧩
Caution: The indicator is designed for leveraged trading but lacks TP/SL. Manage volatility and risk tolerance carefully. ⚠️
Advantages and Considerations 🌟
Advantages 😊:
Simplifies analysis by combining multiple indicators into one table.
Provides a quick overview of market direction.
User-friendly for both beginners and experienced traders.
Considerations ⚠️:
No signal is 100% accurate; markets can be unpredictable.
You must develop your own risk management strategy.
Signals may be misleading during high volatility; use additional confirmation.
Final Note 🎉:
Consensus Signal Matrix Pro is a powerful tool for traders seeking a consolidated view of multiple technical signals. 🚀 By combining diverse indicators into a single, easy-to-read table, it streamlines decision-making. However, always combine it with sound risk management and market context for the best results. 💸 Happy trading! 🤑
ATR+CCI Monetary Risk Tool - TP/SL⚙️ ATR+CCI Monetary Risk Tool — Volatility-aware TP/SL & Position Sizing
Exact prices (no rounding), ATR-percentile dynamic stops, and risk-budget sizing for consistent execution.
🧠 What this indicator is
A risk-first planning tool. It doesn’t generate orders; it gives you clean, objective levels (Entry, SL, TP) and position size derived from your risk budget. It shows only the latest setup to keep charts readable, and a compact on-chart table summarizing the numbers you actually act on.
✨ What makes it different
Dynamic SL by regime (ATR percentile): Instead of a fixed multiple, the SL multiplier adapts to the current volatility percentile (low / medium / high). That helps avoid tight stops in noisy markets and over-wide stops in quiet markets.
Risk budgeting, not guesswork: Size is computed from Account Balance × Max Risk % divided by SL distance × point value. You risk the same dollars across assets/timeframes.
Precision that matches your instrument: Entry, TP, SL, and SL Distance are displayed as exact prices (no rounding), truncated to syminfo.mintick so they align with broker/exchange precision.
Symbol-aware point value: Uses syminfo.pointvalue so you don’t maintain tick tables.
Non-repaint option: Work from closed bars to keep the plan stable.
🔧 How to use (quick start)
Add to chart and pick your timeframe and symbol.
In settings:
Set Account Balance (USD) and Max Risk per Trade (%).
Choose R:R (1:1 … 1:5).
Pick ATR Period and CCI Period (defaults are sensible).
Keep Dynamic ATR ON to adapt SL by regime.
Keep Use closed-bar values ON to avoid repaint when planning.
Read the labels (Entry/TP/SL) and the table (SL Distance, Position Size, Max USD Risk, ATR Percentile, effective SL Mult).
Combine with your entry trigger (price action, levels, momentum, etc.). This indicator handles risk & targets.
📐 How levels are computed
Bias: CCI ≥ 0 ⇒ long, otherwise short.
ATR Percentile: Percent rank of ATR(atrPeriod) over a lookback window.
Effective SL Mult:
If percentile < Low threshold ⇒ use Low SL Mult (tighter).
If between thresholds ⇒ use Base SL Mult.
If percentile > High threshold ⇒ use High SL Mult (wider).
Stop-Loss: SL = Entry ± ATR × SL_Mult (minus for long, plus for short).
Take-Profit: TP = Entry ± (Entry − SL) × R (R from the R:R dropdown).
Position Size:
USD Risk = Balance × Risk%
Contracts = USD Risk ÷ (|Entry − SL| × PointValue)
For futures, quantity is floored to whole contracts.
Exact prices: Entry/TP/SL and SL Distance are not rounded; they’re truncated to mintick so what you see matches valid price increments.
📊 What you’ll see on chart
Latest Entry (blue), TP (green), SL (red) with labels (optional emojis: ➡️ 🎯 🛑).
Info Table with:
Bias, Entry, TP, SL (exact, truncated to mintick)
SL Distance (exact, truncated)
Position Size (contracts/units)
Max USD Risk
Point Value
ATR Percentile and effective SL Mult
🧪 Practical examples
High-volatility session (e.g., XAUUSD, 1H): ATR percentile is high ⇒ wider SL, smaller size. Reduces churn from normal noise during macro events.
Range-bound market (e.g., EURUSD, 4H): ATR percentile low ⇒ tighter SL, better R:R. Helps you avoid carrying unnecessary risk.
Index swing planning (e.g., ES1!, Daily): Non-repaint levels + risk budgeting = consistent sizing across days/weeks, easier to review and journal.
🧭 Why traders should use it
Consistency: Same dollar risk regardless of instrument or volatility regime.
Clarity: One-trade view forces focus; you see the numbers that matter.
Adaptivity: Stops calibrated to the market’s current behavior, not last month’s.
Discipline: A visible checklist (SL distance, size, USD risk) before you hit buy/sell.
🔧 Input guide (practical defaults)
CCI Period: 100 by default; use as a bias filter, not an entry signal.
ATR Period: 14 by default; raise for smoother, lower for more reactive.
ATR Percentile Lookback: 200 by default (stable regime detection).
Percentile thresholds: 33/66 by default; widen the gap to change how often regimes switch.
SL Mults: Start ~1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 (low/base/high). Tune by asset.
Risk % per trade: Common pro ranges are 0.25–1.0%; adjust to your risk tolerance.
R:R: Start with 1:2 or 1:3 for balanced skew; adapt to strategy edge.
Closed-bar values: Keep ON for planning/live; turn OFF only for exploration.
💡 Best practices
Combine with your entry logic (structure, momentum, liquidity levels).
Review ATR percentile and effective SL Mult across sessions so you understand regime shifts.
For futures, remember size is floored to whole contracts—safer by design.
Journal trades with the table snapshot to improve risk discipline over time.
⚠️ Notes & limitations
This is not a strategy; it does not place orders or alerts.
No slippage/commissions modeled here; build a strategy() version for backtests that mirror your broker/exchange.
Displayed non-price metrics use two decimals; prices and SL Distance are exact (truncated to mintick).

TrendGradient [By TraderMan]TrendGradient Indicator: What It Does, How It Works, and How to Use It 📊✨
The **TrendGradient ** indicator is a Pine Script tool designed for the TradingView platform, assisting traders in trend analysis, generating buy/sell signals, and determining target price (TP) and stop-loss (SL) levels. In this guide, I’ll explain in detail what the indicator does, how it operates, how to use it, and strategies for opening positions. Get ready to dive into this colorful and powerful tool! 🚀
🌟 **What Is TrendGradient and What Does It Do?**
TrendGradient is an indicator that analyzes price movements to identify trend direction and strength while generating actionable buy and sell signals. Here are its core functions:
1. **Trend Tracking**: Uses 38-period and 62-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to determine the trend direction (bullish or bearish).
2. **Buy/Sell Signals**: Generates signals based on EMA crossovers and crossunders.
3. **Target and Stop Levels**: Calculates entry, take-profit (TP1, TP2, TP3), and stop-loss (SL) levels using the Average True Range (ATR).
4. **Volatility and Trend Analysis**: Visualizes volatility levels (low, medium, high) and trend strength (strong/weak) via ATR and EMA.
5. **Visual Clarity**: Provides a user-friendly interface with colored lines, labels, tables, and shapes.
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders and can be used for both short-term (scalping/day trading) and long-term strategies. 📈
---
### 🛠️ **How Does TrendGradient Work?**
Let’s break down the indicator’s mechanics step by step:
#### 1. **EMA-Based Trend Analysis** 📉
- **EMA 38 and EMA 62**: The indicator uses 38-period and 62-period Exponential Moving Averages to smooth price data and identify trend direction.
- **EMA 38 > EMA 62**: Bullish trend (uptrend) 📈
- **EMA 38 < EMA 62**: Bearish trend (downtrend) 📉
- EMA crossovers trigger buy/sell signals:
- **Crossover (EMA 38 crosses above EMA 62)**: Buy signal (BUY).
- **Crossunder (EMA 38 crosses below EMA 62)**: Sell signal (SELL).
- The EMAs focus on the last 20 days of data to display recent trends only.
#### 2. **ATR-Based Levels** ⚖️
- **ATR (Average True Range)**: Measures price volatility and is used to calculate entry, TP, and SL levels.
- **Entry Price**: For buys, the closing price plus an ATR multiplier; for sells, the closing price minus an ATR multiplier.
- **Take-Profit Levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)**: Calculated by adding/subtracting ATR multiples (default: 2.0, 4.0, 6.0) to/from the entry price.
- **Stop-Loss (SL)**: Set at a distance from the entry price using an ATR multiplier (default: 2.0 + additional SL).
- These levels are visualized on the chart with colored lines (yellow: entry, green: TP1, teal: TP2, blue: TP3, red: SL) and labels.
#### 3. **Signal and Status Visualization** 🖼️
- **Lines and Labels**: Buy/sell signals are marked with green "BUY" and red "SELL" labels on the chart.
- **Table**: A table in the top-right corner summarizes signal status, entry/TP/SL levels, trend strength, volatility, and trend direction.
- **Color Coding**:
- Green: Bullish trend, buy signal, or TP achievements.
- Red: Bearish trend, sell signal, or SL triggered.
- Yellow, teal, blue: Entry and TP levels.
- **Bar Coloring**: Bars are colored green (bullish) or red (bearish) based on EMA alignment.
#### 4. **TP/SL Monitoring** ✅❌
- The indicator checks if the price hits TP or SL levels and displays labels like "✔️ TP Achieved" or "❌ SL Stopped Out."
- When a TP or SL is hit, the position status updates (e.g., "In Progress ⏳", "Successful ✅", or "Failed ❌").
#### 5. **Volatility and Trend Strength** 📊
- **Volatility (ATR)**: Classified as "Low" (red), "Medium" (orange), or "High" (green) based on the ATR’s position within its 50-bar range.
- **Trend Strength**: If EMA 38 > EMA 62, the trend is "Strong" (green); otherwise, it’s "Weak" (red).
---
### 📋 **How to Use TrendGradient?**
Follow these steps to effectively use TrendGradient:
#### 1. **Add the Indicator to TradingView** 🖥️
- In TradingView, search for "TrendGradient " in the **Indicators** menu and add it to your chart.
- Use default settings or customize parameters like ATR period, multipliers, and display duration (default: 20 days) in the **Settings** menu.
#### 2. **Identify Signals** 🔍
- **Buy Signal (BUY)**: Appears when a green "BUY" label is displayed and EMA 38 crosses above EMA 62.
- **Sell Signal (SELL)**: Appears when a red "SELL" label is displayed and EMA 38 crosses below EMA 62.
- Check the top-right table for signal status ("BUY", "SELL", or "-") and position levels (Entry, TP1, TP2, TP3, SL).
#### 3. **Opening a Position** 🚪
- **Long Position (Buy)**:
1. When a "BUY" signal appears, check the entry price (yellow line).
2. Open a position at or near the entry price.
3. Set TP1, TP2, TP3 (green, teal, blue lines) and SL (red line) as targets/stops.
- **Short Position (Sell)**:
1. When a "SELL" signal appears, check the entry price.
2. Open a position at or near the entry price.
3. Use TP and SL levels as targets/stops.
- **Note**: ATR-based levels adjust dynamically to market volatility, ensuring adaptability.
#### 4. **Position Management** 🛡️
- **Take-Profit (TP)**: Realize profits when the price hits TP1, TP2, or TP3. For example, close part of the position at TP1 and hold the rest for TP2/TP3.
- **Stop-Loss (SL)**: Close the position if the price hits the SL level ("❌ SL Stopped Out" appears).
- **Partial Closes**: Use multiple TP levels to scale out of positions incrementally.
#### 5. **Trend and Volatility Analysis** 📊
- **Trend Direction and Strength**: The table shows whether the trend is "Up" or "Down" and its strength ("Strong" or "Weak"). Strong trends may warrant more aggressive positions.
- **Volatility**: ATR-based volatility indicators help gauge market conditions. High volatility (green) suggests larger price moves, while low volatility (red) indicates calmer markets.
#### 6. **Risk Management** ⚠️

Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds [SciQua]╭──────────────────────────────────────────────╮
☁️ Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────╯
🔍 Overview
The Squeeze Momentum Regression Clouds (SMRC) indicator is a powerful visual tool for identifying price compression , trend strength , and slope momentum using multiple layers of linear regression Clouds. Designed to extend the classic squeeze framework, this indicator captures the behavior of price through dynamic slope detection, percentile-based spread analytics, and an optional UI for trend inspection — across up to four customizable regression Clouds .
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
⚙️ Core Features
╰────────────────╯
Up to 4 Regression Clouds – Each Cloud is created from a top and bottom linear regression line over a configurable lookback window.
Slope Detection Engine – Identifies whether each band is rising, falling, or flat based on slope-to-ATR thresholds.
Spread Compression Heatmap – Highlights compressed zones using yellow intensity, derived from historical spread analysis.
Composite Trend Scoring – Aggregates directional signals from each Cloud using your chosen weighting model.
Color-Coded Candles – Optional candle coloring reflects the real-time composite score.
UI Table – A toggleable info table shows slopes, compression levels, percentile ranks, and direction scores for each Cloud.
Gradient Cloud Styling – Apply gradient coloring from Cloud 1 to Cloud 4 for visual slope intensity.
Weight Aggregation Options – Use equal weighting, inverse-length weighting, or max pooling across Clouds to determine composite trend strength.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
🧪 How to Use the Indicator
1. Understand Trend Bias with Cloud Colors
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
Each Cloud changes color based on its current slope:
Green indicates a rising trend.
Red indicates a falling trend.
Gray indicates a flat slope — often seen during chop or transitions.
Cloud 1 typically reflects short-term structure, while Cloud 4 represents long-term directional bias. Watch for multi-Cloud alignment — when all Clouds are green or red, the trend is strong. Divergence among Clouds often signals a potential shift.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────╮
2. Use Compression Heat to Anticipate Breakouts
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────╯
The space between each Cloud’s top and bottom regression lines is measured, normalized, and analyzed over time. When this spread tightens relative to its history, the script highlights the band with a yellow compression glow .
This visual cue helps identify squeeze zones before volatility expands. If you see compression paired with a changing slope color (e.g., gray to green), this may indicate an impending breakout.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────╮
3. Leverage the Optional Table UI
╰─────────────────────────────────╯
The indicator includes a dynamic, floating table that displays real-time metrics per Cloud. These include:
Slope direction and value , with historical Min/Max reference.
Top and Bottom percentile ranks , showing how price sits within the Cloud range.
Current spread width , compared to its historical norms.
Composite score , which blends trend, slope, and compression for that Cloud.
You can customize the table’s position, theme, transparency, and whether to show a combined summary score in the header.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────╮
4. Analyze Candle Color for Composite Signals
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────╯
When enabled, the indicator colors candles based on a weighted composite score. This score factors in:
The signed slope of each Cloud (up, down, or flat)
The percentile pressure from the top and bottom bands
The degree of spread compression
Expect green candles in bullish trend phases, red candles during bearish regimes, and gray candles in mixed or low-conviction zones.
Candle coloring provides a visual shorthand for market conditions , useful for intraday scanning or historical backtesting.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────────────╮
🧰 Configuration Guidance
╰────────────────────────╯
To tailor the indicator to your strategy:
Use Cloud lengths like 21, 34, 55, and 89 for a balanced multi-timeframe view.
Adjust the slope threshold (default 0.05) to control how sensitive the trend coloring is.
Set the spread floor (e.g., 0.15) to tune when compression is detected and visualized.
Choose your weighting style : Inverse Length (favor faster bands), Equal, or Max Pooling (most aggressive).
Set composite weights to emphasize trend slope, percentile bias, or compression—depending on your market edge.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────────╮
✅ Best Practices
╰────────────────╯
Use aligned Cloud colors across all bands to confirm trend conviction.
Combine slope direction with compression glow for early breakout entry setups.
In choppy markets, watch for Clouds 1 and 2 turning flat while Clouds 3 and 4 remain directional — a sign of potential trend exhaustion or consolidation.
Keep the table enabled during backtesting to manually evaluate how each Cloud behaved during price turns and consolidations.

Mean Reversion & Momentum Hybrid | D_QUANT 📌 Mean Reversion & Momentum Hybrid | D_QUANT
📖 Description:
This indicator combines mean reversion logic, volatility filtering, and percentile-based momentum to deliver clear, context-aware buy/sell signals designed for trend-following and contrarian setups.
At its core, it merges:
A Bollinger Band % Positioning Model (BB%)
A 75th/25th Percentile Momentum System
A Volatility-Adjusted Trend Filter using RMA + ATR
All tied together with a dynamic gradient-style oscillator that visualizes signal strength and persistence over time — making it easy to track high-conviction setups.
Signals only trigger when all three core components align, filtering out noise and emphasizing high-probability turning points or trend continuations.
⚙️ Methodology Overview:
Bollinger Bands % (BB%):
Price is measured as a percentage between upper and lower Bollinger Bands (based on OHLC4). Entries are only considered when price exceeds custom BB% thresholds — emphasizing market extremes.
Volatility-Based Trend Filter (RMA + ATR):
A smoothed RMA baseline is paired with ATR to define trend bias. This ensures signals only occur when price deviates meaningfully beyond recent volatility.
Percentile Momentum Model (75th/25th Rank):
Price is compared against its rolling 75th and 25th percentile. If price breaks these statistical boundaries (adjusted by ATR), it triggers a directional momentum condition.
Signal Consensus Engine:
All three layers must agree — BB% condition, trend filter, and percentile momentum — before a buy or sell signal is plotted.
Gradient Oscillator Visualization:
Signals appear as a fading oscillator line with a gradient-filled area beneath it. The color intensity represents how “fresh” or “strong” the signal is, fading over time if not reconfirmed, offering both clarity and signal aging at a glance.
🔧 User Inputs:
🧠 Core Settings:
Source: Select the price input (default: close)
Bollinger Bands Length: Period for BB basis and deviation
Bollinger Bands Multiplier: Width of the bands
Minimum BB Width (% of Price): Prevents signals during low-volatility chop
📊 BB% Thresholds:
BB% Long Threshold (L): Minimum %B to consider a long
BB% Short Threshold (S): Maximum %B to consider a short
🔍 Trend Filter Parameters:
RMA Length: Period for the smoothed trend baseline
ATR Length: Lookback for ATR in trend deviation filter
⚡️ Momentum Parameters:
Momentum Length: Period for percentile momentum calculation
Mult_75 / Mult_25: ATR-adjusted thresholds for breakout above/below percentile levels
🎨 Visualization:
Bar Coloring: Highlights candles during active signals
Background Coloring: Optional background shading for signals
Show Oscillator Plot: Toggle the gradient-style oscillator
🧪 Use Case:
This indicator works well across all assets for trend identification. It is particularly effective when used on higher timeframes (e.g. 12H, 1D,2D) to capture mean reversion bounces or confirm breakouts backed by percentile momentum and volatility expansion.
⚠️ Notes:
This is not financial advice. Use in combination with proper risk management and confluence from other tools.
Fibonacci-Based Volume Flow (VFI)Fibonacci-based Volume Flow is an advanced next-generation evolution of LazyBear’s original VFI script that calculates and averages up to 21 Fibonacci-based VFI pairings to create a smoothed composite volume flow signal. This unique and powerful approach reduces noise, adapts to volatility, and provides a clearer view of trend strength and market structure across all timeframes. It also includes dynamic fibonacci guide levels, adaptive lookbacks, EMA crossovers, and structure-aware pivot labeling to help traders identify high-quality reversals, confirm directional bias, and detect divergences with greater precision. It's ideal for traders looking to enhance momentum analysis through volume-based confirmation.
🧠 Key Features🧠
🔹 Multi-VFI Fibonacci Fusion🔹
Blends up to 21 VFI signals (5, 13, 21, 34… up to 610) into smartly paired averages (e.g., 13/34, 55/144) — forming a smoothed composite VFI that’s more adaptive, less noisy, and highly responsive across market conditions.
🔸🔸 Dynamic Lookbacks🔸 🔸
Automatically adjusts histogram high/low tracking based on your chart’s timeframe — no more static tuning. Perfect for scalping fast charts or confirming long-term trends.
🟥🟩 Color-Coded Histogram🟥🟩
Visualizes VFI momentum with gradient coloring.
🧩🧩 Signal Crossovers 🧩🧩
Color-coded crossover lines persistently show bullish or bearish dominance.
Includes three powerful crossover systems:
➖5/13 VFI: Fast, early reversal detection
➖8/21 VFI: Swing-trading sweet spot
➖55/144 VFI: Trend confirmation across long cycles
🏷️ 🏷️Pivot Structure Labels🏷️🏷️
Labels oscillator swings with full structural logic:
➖HH, HL, LH, LL, EQ
➖Displays percent change, price at pivot, oscillator reading
➖Smart coloring detects divergence & trend continuation
📈 📈Dynamic Histogram Guides📈📈
Optional zero and ±50% bands anchor histogram levels based on real histogram extremes, not static thresholds — visually frame momentum shifts with context.
📍 📍Persistent High/Low Pivot Lines📍📍
Track the most significant histogram pivots (not price) across time, with smart labels:
➖Volume flow structure zones
➖Label shows price at pivot, oscillator level, and bars since event
➖Ideal for spotting divergence zones, momentum failures, and trend exhaustion.
🔍 🔍Volatility Table (ATR%)🔍🔍
💡Shows real-time volatility compression or expansion
💡Uses multiple ATR periods (e.g., 14 & 55) for short- and medium-term comparison
💡Helps traders understand whether momentum is likely to continue or stall
🔩🔩Volume-weighted VFI baselines🔩🔩
🟢A daily session-based VWAP of the VFI, which resets each day and highlights intraday volume flow context.
🟠A rolling VWA of VFI, which acts like a VWMA over a fixed window (e.g., 55 bars), smoothing short-term fluctuations and supporting trend/momentum confirmation.
These VWAP-style overlays help traders identify strength vs. weakness relative to volume-weighted baselines — useful for divergence spotting, mean reversion setups, or breakout confirmation.
🧰 🧰Under the Hood: How It Works🧰🧰
🔧 Core VFI Logic
Based on LazyBear’s foundational VFI:
➖Uses log returns of price (HLC3)
➖Filters insignificant moves using volatility-weighted thresholds
➖Normalizes volume via adaptive capping (e.g., 2.5× average)
🌀 Composite Blend System
Each VFI instance is smoothed and then fused via user-selectable pairs. This creates a customizable average VFI representing short, mid, and long-term pressure — one value, many time horizons.
📊 EMA Signal Layer
Crosses trigger persistent color shifts in signal lines, making trend strength clear at a glance.
VFI blend feeds into EMA crossovers. You can toggle visibility for:
➖Fast (5/13)
➖Medium (8/21)
➖Slow (55/144)
🧭 Pivot Framework
Structure logic only compares pivots on same-side polarity:
➖Highs compare to highs above zero
➖Lows compare to lows below zero
This avoids nonsensical comparisons and preserves logical sequences (HH → LH → HL).
🧱 Dynamic Labels
All pivots and persistent levels display:
➖Oscillator value
➖Price value
➖Structure tag (e.g., LH, HL)
➖% change from prior pivot
➖Lookback info
➖Bar age
Unlike traditional VFI:
✅ It blends timeframes with Fibonacci precision
✅ Uses dynamic, volatility-aware logic
✅ Embeds visual structure & divergence intelligence
✅ Enhances entry confidence and exit timing
🔧 This isn’t just an indicator — it’s a volume-informed decision engine.
Ideal For:
🔶Trend-followers wanting cleaner volume-based confirmation
🔶Reversal traders spotting structure + divergence
🔶Scalpers or investors needing adaptable signals
🔶Those who loved LazyBear's VFI
📌 Final Note:
As powerful as Fibonacci Blended Volume Flow is, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages, or support/resistance levels. Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.

Signalgo BBSignalgo BB: Technical Overview
Signalgo BB is a Bollinger Bands (BB) indicator for TradingView, designed to provide a multi-dimensional view of volatility, trend, and trading opportunities within a single overlay. Below is a detailed, impartial explanation of its workings, inputs, and trading logic.
Core Mechanics
Signalgo BB operates on the principle of nested volatility bands and moving averages. It calculates:
Fast & Slow Bands: Two sets of Bollinger Bands (BB), using different moving average types (EMA or SMA), lengths, and standard deviation multipliers.
Volatility Cloud: A dynamic visual layer indicating when price is inside both, one, or neither band.
Filtering: A short-term RSI is used to confirm trend direction and filter out weak signals.
Inputs & Components
MA Type: Choice between EMA, SMA for both fast and slow MA calculations.
Fast/Slow Lengths
Fast/Slow Deviations
RSI Length/Thresholds
Show Cloud: Toggle for the visual volatility cloud.
Signal Mode: Band Break.
Prevent Repeated Signals: Option to suppress duplicate signals in the same direction.
TP/SL & Trailing Logic: Advanced, automated trade management with ATR-based distances, three take-profit levels, and a dynamic trailing stop.
Signal Generation
Band Break: Triggers when price crosses the fast BB band.
RSI Filter: All signals require RSI confirmation.
Prevent Repeated Signals: Optionally only marks the first breakout in a series to reduce overtrading.
Entry/Exit Marks: Labels are plotted for visual clarity, and signals can trigger TradingView alerts.
Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL): Set at a multiple of ATR from the entry price, adapting to current volatility.
Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3): Three levels scaled by risk-reward ratios, supporting partial exits.
Trailing Stop: After the first TP is hit, SL moves to breakeven and then trails at a user-defined multiple of ATR, locking in further gains.
Event Markers: Each TP, SL, and trailing stop event is labeled on the chart.
Direction State: The indicator tracks active trades, allowing for only one open position per direction at a time.
Cloud Visualization: The background color changes depending on whether price is inside both, one, or no bands, making it easier to visualize market conditions.
Multiple Signal Logics: It doesn’t just look at breakouts, it includes cloud crossings, mean reversion, and a choice of how to combine them.
Rigorous Filtering: Signals require RSI trend confirmation, reducing false entries during weak phases.
Automated Trade Management: Built-in TP/SL and trailing logic, dynamically adapting to volatility.
Signal Suppression: Option to prevent repeated signals, reducing noise and overtrading.
Customizable MA Types: Supports EMA, SMA, and a selection algorithm for future expansion.
Trading Strategy Application
Volatility Regimes: The cloud’s color indicates whether price is inside, between, or outside the bands, helping traders identify trending, ranging, or breakout conditions.
Signals: entries can be based on breakouts filtered by RSI trend strength.
Risk Management: All active trades are managed by TP/SL logic, trailing stops after TP1, and visual feedback on exits.
Visual Alerts: Both signals and TP/SL events are marked on the chart for manual review.
Flexibility: Users can switch modes or suppress repeated signals as needed, depending on trading style.
Practical Usage
Intraday to Swing: Suitable for timeframes from minutes to days, depending on the MA periods and volatility profile.
Manual or Automated: The visual overlay and alerts support both manual trading and automated strategies.
Education & Review: The colored cloud and event markers make it easy to review past price action and learn from signals.
What separates this indicator from traditional ones:
1. Dual Bollinger Bands
Traditional: Most indicators use a single set of Bollinger Bands (two standard deviations above/below a moving average).
Signalgo BB: Implements two sets of bands—a "fast" set (shorter moving average, narrower deviation) and a "slow" set (longer moving average, wider deviation). This provides both immediate (fast) and broader context (slow) for volatility and price action.
2. Volatility Cloud Visualization
Traditional: Standard Bollinger Bands display as two lines, with the area between sometimes shaded as a "band" but without dynamic color changes.
Signalgo BB: The background is colored differently depending on whether price is within both, one, or neither band, offering a visual "cloud" that distinguishes trending, ranging, or breakout regimes at a glance.
3. RSI Filtering
Traditional: Many indicators either don’t filter signals, or if they do, it’s not always configurable.
Signalgo BB: Adds an optional RSI filter, requiring signals to be confirmed by short-term RSI overbought/oversold conditions. This reduces false signals in range-bound or low-trend environments.
4. Prevention of Repeated Signals
Traditional: Most indicators will keep firing signals as long as conditions are met, which can cause overtrading.
Signalgo BB: Offers a user-toggleable option to suppress repeated signals in the same direction until the opposite signal occurs. This reduces noise for discretionary traders.
5. Integrated Trade Management
Traditional: Manual or separate coding is required for stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop logic.
Signalgo BB: Builds in dynamic, ATR-based stop-loss; up to three take-profit levels and a trailing stop that activates after the first TP is hit. All levels are visually plotted on the chart, and events (TP/SL hits) are labeled, aiding strategy review and automation.
6. Event Labeling and Alerts
Traditional: Alerts may exist for entry/exit, but rarely for each TP/SL event.
Signalgo BB: Places labels for every entry, exit, and TP/SL event. It also provides TradingView alertconditions for each event, enabling automated notifications or integration with trading bots.
7. Directional State Tracking
Traditional: Indicators typically do not track the "state" of a trade (e.g., active long/short/flat) beyond simple signals.
Signalgo BB: Maintains persistent variables for entry price, SL, TP, trailing stop, and trade direction, ensuring only one active signal per direction. This prevents overlapping entries and mimics realistic trade management.
8. User Customization
Traditional: Default settings are often hardcoded, or customization is limited.
Signalgo BB: Offers extensive user inputs for MA type and TP/SL logic—making the tool adaptable to many strategies and timeframes.

| 10–20 days | 20–30 bars | Standard for short swing |
| 20–40 days | 40–60 bars | More stable mean for longer swing |
Interpretation Guide:
Only consider trades if Correlation ≥ 0.6 or Reversion % ≥ 75%.
Avoid trades with Reversion % < 20%.
Correlation and Reversion % together form a powerful trade quality filter.
| Reversion % | Correlation | Signal Strength | Action |
| ≥ 75% | ≥ 0.4 | High Probability | Consider full position |
| ≥ 50% | ≥ 0.6 | Moderate Probability | Trade with standard size |
| ≥ 75% | < 0.4 | Uncorrelated Edge | Trade small or hedge carefully |
| < 50% | Any | Weak | Avoid |
| Any | < 0.3 | Low Coherence | Avoid unless extreme Reversion |
| Correlation Value | Interpretation |
| +1.0 | Perfect positive correlation (price of both move in the same direction)|
| +0.7 to +0.9 | Strong positive correlation |
| +0.4 to +0.6 | Moderate positive correlation |
| 0 | No correlation (independent) |
| -0.4 to -0.6 | Moderate negative correlation |
| -0.7 to -0.9 | Strong negative correlation |
| -1.0 | Perfect negative correlation (price both move in the opposite direction)|

Adaptive Squeeze Momentum +Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ (Auto-Timeframe Version)
Overview
Adaptive Squeeze Momentum+ is an enhanced volatility and momentum indicator designed to identify compression and expansion phases in price action. It is inspired by the classic Squeeze Momentum Indicator by LazyBear but introduces automatic parameter adaptation to any timeframe, making it simpler to use across different markets without manual configuration.
Concepts and Methodology
The script combines Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to detect periods when volatility contracts (squeeze) or expands (release).
A squeeze occurs when BB are inside KC, suggesting low volatility and potential breakout scenarios.
A squeeze release is detected when BB expand outside KC.
Momentum is derived using a linear regression applied to the difference between price and a midrange reference level.
Original Improvements
Compared to the original Squeeze Momentum Indicator, this version offers several enhancements:
Automatic Adaptation: BB and KC lengths and multipliers are dynamically adjusted based on the chart’s timeframe (from 1 minute up to 1 month), removing the need for manual tuning.
Simplified Visualization: A clean, minimalist histogram and clear squeeze state cross markers allow for faster interpretation.
Flexible Application: Designed to work consistently on intraday, daily, and higher timeframes across crypto, forex, stocks, and indices.
Features
Dynamic Squeeze Detection:
Gray Cross: Neutral (no squeeze detected)
Blue Cross: Active squeeze
Yellow Cross: Squeeze released
Momentum Histogram:
Positive/negative momentum shown with slope-based coloring.
Timeframe-Aware Parameters:
Automatically sets optimal BB/KC configurations.
Usage
Watch for blue crosses indicating an active squeeze phase that may precede a directional move.
Use the histogram color and slope to gauge momentum strength and direction.
Combine squeeze release signals with momentum confirmation for potential entries or exits.
Credits and Licensing
This script was inspired by LazyBear’s OLD “Squeeze Momentum Indicator” (). The implementation here significantly expands upon the original by introducing auto-adaptive parameters, restructured logic, and a new visualization approach. Published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Kelly Optimal Leverage IndicatorThe Kelly Optimal Leverage Indicator mathematically applies Kelly Criterion to determine optimal position sizing based on market conditions.
This indicator helps traders answer the critical question: "How much capital should I allocate to this trade?"
Note that "optimal position sizing" does not equal the position sizing that you should have. The Optima position sizing given by the indicator is based on historical data and cannot predict a crash, in which case, high leverage could be devastating.
Originally developed for gambling scenarios with known probabilities, the Kelly formula has been adapted here for financial markets to dynamically calculate the optimal leverage ratio that maximizes long-term capital growth while managing risk.
Key Features
Kelly Position Sizing: Uses historical returns and volatility to calculate mathematically optimal position sizes
Multiple Risk Profiles: Displays Full Kelly (aggressive), 3/4 Kelly (moderate), 1/2 Kelly (conservative), and 1/4 Kelly (very conservative) leverage levels
Volatility Adjustment: Automatically recommends appropriate Kelly fraction based on current market volatility
Return Smoothing: Option to use log returns and smoothed calculations for more stable signals
Comprehensive Table: Displays key metrics including annualized return, volatility, and recommended exposure levels
How to Use
Interpret the Lines: Each colored line represents a different Kelly fraction (risk tolerance level). When above zero, positive exposure is suggested; when below zero, reduce exposure. Note that this is based on historical returns. I personally like to increase my exposure during market downturns, but this is hard to illustrate in the indicator.
Monitor the Table: The information panel provides precise leverage recommendations and exposure guidance based on current market conditions.
Follow Recommended Position: Use the "Recommended Position" guidance in the table to determine appropriate exposure level.
Select Your Risk Profile: Conservative traders should follow the Half Kelly or Quarter Kelly lines, while more aggressive traders might consider the Three-Quarter or Full Kelly lines.
Adjust with Volatility: During high volatility periods, consider using more conservative Kelly fractions as recommended by the indicator.
Mathematical Foundation
The indicator calculates the optimal leverage (f*) using the formula:
f* = μ/σ²
Where:
μ is the annualized expected return
σ² is the annualized variance of returns
This approach balances potential gains against risk of ruin, offering a scientific framework for position sizing that maximizes long-term growth rate.
Notes
The Full Kelly is theoretically optimal for maximizing long-term growth but can experience significant drawdowns. You should almost never use full kelly.
Most practitioners use fractional Kelly strategies (1/2 or 1/4 Kelly) to reduce volatility while capturing most of the growth benefits
This indicator works best on daily timeframes but can be applied to any timeframe
Negative Kelly values suggest reducing or eliminating market exposure
The indicator should be used as part of a complete trading system, not in isolation
Enjoy the indicator! :)
P.S. If you are really geeky about the Kelly Criterion, I recommend the book The Kelly Capital Growth Investment Criterion by Edward O. Thorp and others.
ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance
Volatility & Market Regimes [AlgoXcalibur]Analyze Market Conditions Like a Pro.
Volatility & Market Regimes is a specialized, institution-inspired indicator designed to help traders instantly identify the current conditions of the market with clarity and confidence.
By combining a real-time Volatility Histogram and Strength Line with a compact Regime Table, this tool reveals four essential market dimensions—Volatility, Strength, Participation, and Noise—in a clean and intuitive format. Whether you’re confirming trade setups or managing risk, knowing the current regimes enhances awareness across all assets and timeframes.
🧠 Algorithm Logic
This sophisticated tool continuously monitors four independent regimes, each reflecting a distinct dimension of market behavior:
• Volatility – Gauges how active or dormant the market is by comparing current price action movement to historical averages. A dynamic, color-gradient Volatility Histogram transitions from Low (ice blue/white) to Medium (green/yellow) to High (orange/red), giving you an immediate assessment of volatility and risk.
• Strength – Measures directional intensity by assessing trend momentum, pressure, and persistence. A color-gradient Strength Line ranges from weak (red) to strong (green), helping traders determine if directional strength is trending, weakening, or consolidating.
• Participation – Analyzes relative volume to assess the level of trader engagement. Higher volume indicates stronger participation and conviction, while low volume may signal uncertainty, fading momentum, or even liquidity traps.
• Noise – Evaluates structural stability by measuring how orderly or chaotic the price action is. High noise suggests choppy, unstable conditions, while low noise reflects clean, stable moves.
Each regime includes a High / Medium / Low classification and a color-coded directional arrow to indicate whether condition parameters are increasing or decreasing. Together, these components deliver real-time market context—helping you stay grounded in logic, not emotion.
⚙️ User-Selectable Features
Each component of the indicator—the Volatility Histogram, Strength Line, and Regime Table—can be independently made visible or hidden to match your preference. This flexibility allows you to display only the Regime Table and move it directly to your main chart, where it auto-positions to the center-right and integrates seamlessly with other AlgoXcalibur indicators that also use data tables for a cohesive and refined experience.
📊 Clarity, Not Guesswork
Volatility & Market Regimes is a unique, institution-inspired algorithm rarely seen in retail trading. Not only does it clearly display volatility—it translates complex market behavior into a clear context to reveal what’s happening behind the candles. By decoding core regimes in real-time, this tool transforms uncertainty into structured insight—empowering traders to act with clarity, not guesswork.

Icy-Hot Visual Indicator [SciQua]🧊 Icy-Hot Visual Indicator
This indicator colors your price bars and/or chart background based on a normalized & smoothed transform of any price-based input (default: close). It gives you a quick “temperature map” of market momentum or volatility—cool blues for low readings, hot reds for high readings—without cluttering your chart.
🔍 Key Features
1. Dual Visual Layers
Candle Gradient: Applies a smooth, multi-color gradient to candle bodies and wicks based on normalized, smoothed input data
Background Gradient: Adds a semi-transparent gradient behind the candles to highlight broader trend zones or volatility regimes
2. Advanced Customization
Normalization Types: bounded, unbounded, z-score, MAD, percentile, sigmoid, tanh, rank, robust, and more
Smoothing Methods: EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, TEMA, VWMA, Gaussian, LinReg, ExpReg, and others (12+ options)
3. Gradient Control: Choose 2–7 color stops, reverse direction, adjust display length
Flexible Source Inputs
Use any built-in price series (close, hl2, volume, etc.)
Feed outputs from external indicators (RSI, custom oscillators, moving averages) into either layer
❓How It Works
Inputs are normalized (z-score, bounded, etc.) then smoothed (EMA, LinReg, etc.) in the order you choose. The result is clamped to 0–1 and passed through a multi-stop gradient engine for precise color mapping.
✨ What Makes It Original
While many indicators apply colors or smoothing, this script combines multi-stage normalization, adaptive smoothing, and a modular gradient rendering engine in a highly customizable dual-layer system. It’s built using proprietary functions from the SciQua suite that are not available in public libraries and allow for advanced visual encoding without relying on alerts, signals, or extra panes.
This makes it original in both design and execution—offering a visual-first approach with unique depth, clarity, and flexibility.
🔐 Why This Script Is Closed-Source
While the underlying functions are published in the open-source SciQua library, this indicator’s specific implementation, configuration architecture, and visual behavior are proprietary. It combines multiple library utilities into a dual-layer adaptive system that handles advanced gradient rendering, multi-stage normalization, and smoothing pipelines in a unique way.
The source is closed to protect the design logic, interface abstraction, and fine-tuned behaviors that make this indicator commercially valuable. The building blocks are open to the Pine community, but this assembled product is not meant for replication or redistribution.
How to Use It
1. Highlight Trend Strength
Source: RSI percentile
Setup: 200-bar look-back, mild smoothing
Result: Warm tones when momentum is peaking; cool when it’s fading. Use as a quick filter for entries in the direction of the trend.
2. Visualize Volatility Regimes
Source: ATR or True Range
Setup: Bounded normalization with tighter smoothing bar color off, bg color on.
Result: Background bands that shade when volatility spikes. Helps you avoid low-volatility breakouts or throttle position sizing in choppy markets.
3. Combine with Other Indicators
Source: Output of your custom indicator (e.g., a Keltner Band width)
Setup: Match normalization period to your strategy’s timeframe
Result: Bars colored by your own logic—no extra panes, just enhanced candles.
4. Background Only Heatmap
Turn off bar coloring and dial in semi-transparent background shades—keeps candles crisp while still giving you a context heat-map behind price.
