Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation [CHE] Smoothed SuperTrend with Automated Optimization and VWAP Confirmation
Overview
The "Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation" is an advanced technical analysis indicator designed for precise trend identification and trading signal generation. This script integrates a smoothed version of the popular SuperTrend indicator with an additional layer of confirmation using the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The combination of these two elements offers traders a powerful tool for identifying optimal entry and exit points in the market.
Key Features
1. Smoothed SuperTrend
- Super Smoother Algorithm: The SuperTrend in this script is not just a regular one; it is enhanced by the Super Smoother filter, which reduces market noise and provides more reliable trend signals.
- Customizable Parameters: Traders can adjust three different sets of SuperTrend parameters (factor and ATR length), allowing them to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies.
- Automatic Optimization: The script automatically evaluates the performance of each SuperTrend parameter set and selects the one with the best cumulative performance. This selection process can be set to pick either the best or the worst performing parameter set, depending on the trader's preference.
2. VWAP Confirmation
- Precise Trend Confirmation: Once the best-performing SuperTrend is identified, the script further refines the signals by using VWAP as a confirmation tool. VWAP is a highly respected indicator in the trading community, often used to assess the true average price of an asset.
- Long and Short Signal Generation: The script generates Long and Short signals only when the price action is confirmed by both the SuperTrend and VWAP. For a Long signal, the price must be above the VWAP, and for a Short signal, it must be below the VWAP. This dual confirmation ensures higher accuracy and reduces the likelihood of false signals.
3. Visual and Informative Labels
- Signal Labels: Upon confirmation of a trend reversal by both the SuperTrend and VWAP, the script plots clear labels on the chart, indicating confirmed Long or Short signals. These labels are customizable in terms of color, text, and size, ensuring they fit seamlessly into any chart setup.
- Best Parameters Display: At the close of the most recent bar, the script displays a label that provides detailed information about the best-performing SuperTrend parameters and their cumulative performance. This feature keeps traders informed about which settings are currently most effective.
Input Customization Options
1. Super Smoother Length
- Traders can define the length of the Super Smoother filter, which is used to smooth both price data and ATR (Average True Range) values. This input allows traders to control the sensitivity of the indicator, with shorter lengths providing faster responses and longer lengths offering smoother trends.
2. SuperTrend Parameters
- Factor: For each of the three SuperTrends, traders can set a unique factor that determines the distance of the SuperTrend bands from the average price. A higher factor results in wider bands and fewer signals, while a lower factor results in narrower bands and more signals.
- ATR Length: Traders can also specify the length of the ATR used in each SuperTrend calculation. A longer ATR period captures broader market volatility, while a shorter period focuses on more immediate price movements.
3. Label Settings
- Label Colors: The script allows full customization of label colors for Long and Short signals, ensuring that they match the trader’s chart aesthetics.
- Label Text Colors and Sizes: Traders can adjust the text color and size of the labels for Long, Short, and information labels, allowing them to prioritize visibility and readability on their charts.
4. Performance Selection Mode
- Best or Worst Performer: This input allows traders to select whether the script should optimize for the best or worst performing SuperTrend parameter set. This flexibility is useful in different market conditions, where a trader might want to analyze either the strongest trend or focus on a contrarian strategy.
5. VWAP Calculation
- The script automatically recalculates the VWAP based on trend changes, ensuring that the confirmation signals are as accurate and relevant as possible to the current market context.
Important Note
This script is designed to provide more accurate trend signals and confirmations, but like all technical indicators, it should not be used in isolation. It is recommended to use this tool as part of a broader trading strategy, including proper risk management and consideration of fundamental market conditions.
Conclusion
The "Smoothed SuperTrend with VWAP Confirmation" script is an innovative trading tool that combines the strengths of the SuperTrend and VWAP indicators. By integrating smoothing techniques and automatic parameter optimization, this indicator provides traders with more accurate and reliable trend signals. The added confirmation by VWAP further enhances the precision of the entry and exit points, making it an excellent choice for traders looking to improve their technical analysis and trading outcomes. This tool is especially valuable for those who prefer customizable inputs and a systematic approach to trading, ensuring that the indicator adapts to various market conditions and individual trading styles.

Entropy Indicator [CHE]Entropy in Technical Analysis Using TradingView
Slide 1: Title
Entropy in Technical Analysis Using TradingView
Introduction to the concept of entropy
Application in technical analysis
Understanding the use of entropy as a market indicator
Slide 2: What is Entropy?
Definition and Origins:
Entropy originates from thermodynamics and information theory.
In thermodynamics, entropy describes the degree of disorder or randomness in a system.
In information theory, entropy quantifies the uncertainty or unpredictability of information content.
Mathematical Definition:
Entropy measures the unpredictability of a system.
The basic idea: Higher entropy means more randomness; lower entropy indicates more predictability.
Formula: Entropy is calculated using the probabilities of different outcomes, based on how frequently certain price levels are reached.
Slide 3: Entropy in Financial Markets
Why Entropy Matters:
Market Uncertainty: Entropy can measure the level of uncertainty or randomness in financial markets.
Volatility Indicator: High entropy may indicate a volatile, unpredictable market, while low entropy suggests a stable, predictable market.
Applications in Trading:
Trend Analysis: Identifying periods of high entropy can help detect potential trend reversals or periods of market consolidation.
Risk Management: Using entropy to adjust trading strategies based on the perceived level of market uncertainty.
Slide 4: How Entropy is Calculated in Trading
Step-by-Step Process:
Data Collection:
The first step is to gather the relevant price data over a specific period, such as 200 closing prices. This data forms the basis of the entropy calculation, representing the market's recent behavior.
Defining Bins:
The price range within the collected data is divided into a fixed number of bins or intervals. These bins represent different price levels. For instance, if you choose 5 bins, the price range will be split into 5 equal segments.
Assigning Data to Bins:
The next step is to assign each price within the data to one of these bins. This step helps in understanding how frequently the price falls within specific ranges, indicating the distribution of prices over the period.
Calculating Probabilities:
After assigning the data to bins, calculate the probability for each bin by dividing the number of data points in each bin by the total number of data points. These probabilities reflect how often prices fall into each range.
Computing Entropy:
Entropy is then calculated based on the distribution of these probabilities. The formula involves summing the products of each probability and the logarithm of that probability. This calculation tells us how evenly the prices are distributed across the bins.
Interpretation for Traders:
High entropy indicates that the prices are spread evenly across the bins, suggesting a highly random and uncertain market. Low entropy, on the other hand, shows that prices are concentrated in fewer bins, indicating more predictable and stable market conditions.
Slide 5: Implementing and Using Entropy in TradingView
How It Works in TradingView:
Data Period: Typically, entropy is calculated over a specific number of bars (e.g., 200), representing recent market activity. The longer the period, the broader the market behavior considered.
Bin Division: The price range during this period is divided into a set number of bins. These bins help to categorize price levels and assess how spread out the market’s activity is.
Entropy Calculation: The indicator evaluates the spread of prices across these bins to determine the level of market disorder. This is visualized on the chart as an entropy line, helping traders to see fluctuations in market uncertainty.
Practical Application:
As a trader, you can use the entropy indicator to gauge when the market is in a state of high uncertainty (high entropy) or low uncertainty (low entropy). This insight can inform decisions on when to take riskier trades or when to stay conservative.
Slide 6: Interpreting the Entropy Indicator
High Entropy:
Characteristics:
Indicates a high level of market disorder, where price movements are more random and less predictable.
Suggests volatile or unpredictable market conditions.
Implications for Traders:
During periods of high entropy, traders might need to exercise greater caution, reduce position sizes, or employ more defensive trading strategies.
High entropy could signal potential trend reversals or significant market movements, making it a critical period to watch closely.
Low Entropy:
Characteristics:
Suggests that the market is more predictable, with prices showing less variation and more consistent trends.
Typically associated with trending markets where price movement is more orderly.
Implications for Traders:
In a low entropy environment, traders might favor trend-following strategies, as the market shows clearer directional movement.
Low entropy can also suggest more reliable trading opportunities, where the risk of sudden, unpredictable price swings is reduced.
Slide 7: Use Cases and Strategy Integration
Practical Use Cases:
Trend Reversals: Use entropy to identify potential points where a market may shift from trending to consolidating, or vice versa. A sudden increase in entropy might indicate the end of a stable trend and the start of a more volatile period.
Volatility Detection: Detect periods of increased market volatility by observing spikes in entropy. These periods can be critical for adjusting your trading strategy, either by scaling back or by taking advantage of the increased movement.
Strategy Integration:
Risk Management: Incorporate entropy into your risk management strategy by adjusting position sizes, leverage, or stop-loss levels based on the current entropy reading. In high entropy conditions, it might be wise to take smaller, more conservative positions.
Combining Indicators: Entropy can be effectively combined with other indicators, such as moving averages or RSI, to provide a more comprehensive view of market conditions. For example, using entropy alongside a trend indicator can help confirm whether a trend is strong and likely to continue, or if it's weakening and at risk of reversal.
Slide 8: Advantages and Limitations of Entropy
Advantages:
Unique Perspective: Entropy offers a unique way to measure market uncertainty that complements traditional volatility measures. It provides traders with insights into the randomness and predictability of price movements, which can be crucial for strategic decision-making.
Dynamic Analysis: Entropy adapts to changes in market conditions, offering real-time insights into the level of market disorder. This makes it a valuable tool for traders who need to stay responsive to the market's evolving dynamics.
Limitations:
Complex Interpretation: Unlike more straightforward indicators, entropy requires a deeper understanding to interpret correctly. Traders need to be familiar with how entropy levels relate to market behavior and what actions to take in response.
Sensitivity to Parameters: The results can vary significantly depending on the number of bins and the data period chosen, requiring careful parameter selection. Traders may need to experiment with different settings to find the most informative configuration for their specific market or trading style.
Slide 9: Conclusion
Key Takeaways:
Entropy as a Tool: Provides a unique perspective on market dynamics by measuring unpredictability. This can help traders better understand the nature of market conditions and tailor their strategies accordingly.
Practical Application: Can enhance trading strategies, particularly in volatile markets, by helping to identify periods of high uncertainty and adjusting risk management practices.
Further Exploration: Experimenting with different bin sizes and periods can help fine-tune the entropy indicator for specific markets and trading strategies. Traders are encouraged to combine entropy with other indicators to build a more robust trading framework.
Final Thoughts:
Entropy is a powerful concept that, when applied correctly, can offer valuable insights into market behavior. It should be used in conjunction with other tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions, particularly in markets where unpredictability plays a significant role.
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of entropy, its significance in financial markets, and how it can be practically applied as an indicator in TradingView. The focus is on how traders can use entropy to enhance their trading strategies and improve their understanding of market conditions.

Prometheus TTM SqueezeThe TTM indicator is an indicator used to better understand an underlying’s direction and volatility. Positive values indicate a rising price, negative falling. There is also an element of the underlying's volatility, explained below.
When, in this particular indicator, the zero line is the aqua color, that means that the volatility has picked up. In literal terms, it means that the upper Keltner Channel is above the upper Bollinger Band and the lower Keltner Channel is below the lower Bollinger Band. The range of the Keltner Channels is greater than the range of the Bollinger bands. What this is supposed to correlate to with price action is a more volatile choppier area. See below.
This is an example of volatility picking up being shown as the speed of the underlying. When the line turns aqua the move following tends to be sharp in the respective direction. Not a smooth delivery of price.
Regarding why this script is different from the others, with this script you do not need to input a bar's back value if you do not want to. Bars back being the amount of bars used in the indicator calculation. This is because of the use of Sum of Squared Errors, or SSE. How we do it is we calculate a Simple Moving Average or SMA and the indicator using a lot of different bars back values. Then if there is an event, characterized by the oscillator crossing over or under the 0 line, we subtract the close by the SMA and square it. If there is no event we return a big value, we want the error to be as small as possible. Because we loop over every value for bars back, we get the value with the smallest error. Or the SMA closest to the price ensuring we are following it as close as we can. This also becomes the value used as the multiplier for the Keltner Channels and Bollinger Bands, we simply divide them by 10 to normalize it. This leads to ease of use. A user does not need to worry about finding the best bars back for each ticker and time frame. We have you covered! SSE is not to be regarded to be the best given values for a pocket of the market, simply an estimation.
Of course we have the option for users to enter their own bars back or multipliers. Here is a comparison of the SSE at work and a 20 period bar’s back with 2 as the multiplier on a 4 hour $QQQ.
The top one is the SSE, the bottom is 20. I turned off showing the SMA, and alerts for better visibility. We see the SSE version does not cross above 0 again until the trend totally reverses. I would much rather overestimate risk than underestimate it.
The BULL and BEAR plotted on the chart is a result of the following conditions. A BULL if the price is above our auto optimized SMA and the oscillator crosses over 0. BEAR is the opposite, price below the SMA and an oscillator cross below 0. Here is the Daily NYSE:PLTR chart to show some.
Users have the options to toggle on and off the BULL and BEAR plots, SMA, as well as input their own lookback and multipliers.
We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly, none are 100% accurate. SSE does not guarantee that the values generated will be the best for a given moment in time. Please comment on any desired updates, all criticism is welcome!
Inverted Yield Curve (US01Y/US10Y Ratio)This indicator calculates and visualizes the ratio between the US 1-Year Treasury Yield (US01Y) and the US 10-Year Treasury Yield (US10Y). It provides a clear visual representation of the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates, which can be a valuable tool for analyzing market conditions, potential recessions, or shifts in economic outlook.
Features:
US01Y/US10Y Ratio: The indicator plots the ratio between the 1-Year and 10-Year US Treasury Yields as a smooth curve.
Dynamic Highlighting: Portions of the curve where the ratio exceeds 1 are highlighted in red, making it easy to identify periods where short-term rates surpass long-term rates—a key signal often associated with economic shifts or inversions.
Customizable Appearance: The main curve is plotted in a light blue color for clear visibility against most chart backgrounds.
Use Cases:
Yield Curve Analysis: This indicator helps traders and analysts monitor the yield curve, specifically focusing on the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates.
Recession Signals: An inverted yield curve, where the ratio exceeds 1, can be an early warning signal for potential economic downturns.
Market Sentiment: Use the indicator to gauge shifts in investor sentiment by tracking changes in the yield curve over time.
How to Use:
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
The light blue curve represents the ratio of US01Y/US10Y.
Red highlights indicate periods where the ratio exceeds 1, signaling potential yield curve inversion.
This indicator is ideal for traders, investors, and economists looking to incorporate yield curve analysis into their trading strategies or economic forecasts.

Prometheus Cauchy ProbabilityThe Cauchy probability distribution is a distribution that is better suited to be used on non normal data, such as stock returns. Markets characterized by volatility and fat-tails can be better modeled like this.
This script provides two values to a user. The blue line represents the probability for the underlying to rise. The purple line represents its probability to fall. Rise and fall by how much? By default a prediction of 0.5% is set, but users can adjust it. The script automatically calculates based on how many bars would be in an entire day. For example there are 390 minutes from 9:30am to 4:00pm est. time so the script uses 390 bars. Users have the option to set a custom bars back length.
Developer’s note. This script works best with extended market hours on. Every example shown will have it on. The more price and volatility the better!
Code breakdown:
cauchy_cdf(x, x0, gamma)=>
1 / math.pi * math.atan((x - x0) / gamma) + 0.5
This function is what calculates the Cauchy cumulative density function.
// Calculate x and gamma
x = close * (1 + pred)
x0 = hi
gamma := ta.stdev(close, Len, false)
y = cauchy_cdf(x, x0, gamma)
//down
x_lo = close * (1 - pred)
x0_lo = lo
y_lo = cauchy_cdf(x_lo, x0_lo, gamma)
x represents the target price. x0 represents the current highest price of the day. Gamma is the standard deviation of prices over the desired length. x_lo, x0_lo, are variables to determine the probability of falling. Inputting these values into the function we get back our chance of rising and falling. Our blue and purple line.
Trade Examples:
Step 1: After a move down there is some choppiness, the values are close to each other and moving sharply.
Step 2: The chance to rise (Blue Line) strongly moves above the chance to fall (Purple Line), uptrend ensues.
Step 3: Small breaks below the purple line show breaks in the overall trend.
Step 4: Strong move down in price, and up in purple line end up trend.
Step 1: Strong cross in purple and blue line, marking the start of a downtrend.
Step 2: Small breaks above the purple line show breaks in the overall trend.
Step 3: Strong move up in price, and up in the blue line end downtrend.
Day trading example:
Custom input:
Step 1: Pre market weakness ends with a move up in the blue line and price.
Step 2: Consolidation in the uptrend with a small downtrend and above the purple line.
Step 3: Strong move up in price, and up in the blue line end consolidation and resumes strong uptrend.
This example is with custom input: 100 bars back, and 1% prediction.
Step 1: Downtrend starts after a big move up.
Step 2: Big crossover in blue and purple line. Uptrend starts.
Step 3: Lines get close signaling choppiness.
Step 4: Purple crosses over blue ending uptrend.
No indicator is 100% accurate, we encourage traders to use them along with their own discretion. Please use these tools with your own decision making. Comments about desired features and updates are encouraged!
Percentage Change IndicatorPercentage Change Indicator
This indicator calculates and displays the percentage change between the current close price and the previous close price. It provides a clear visual representation of price movements, helping traders quickly identify significant changes in the market.
## Formula
The percentage change is calculated using the following formula:
```
Percentage Change = (Current Close - Previous Close) * 100 / Current Close
```
## Features
- Displays percentage change as a bar chart
- Green bars indicate positive changes
- Red bars indicate negative changes
- A horizontal line at 0% helps distinguish between positive and negative movements
## How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Observe the bar chart below your main price chart
3. Green bars above the 0% line indicate upward price movements
4. Red bars below the 0% line indicate downward price movements
5. The height of each bar represents the magnitude of the percentage change
This indicator can be particularly useful for:
- Identifying sudden price spikes or drops
- Analyzing the volatility of an asset
- Comparing price movements across different timeframes
- Spotting potential entry or exit points based on percentage changes
Customize the indicator's appearance in the settings to suit your charting preferences.
Note: This indicator works on all timeframes, adapting its calculations to the selected chart period.
Normalized SP100/SP400 Ratio with Shiller PE Ratio (CAPE Ratio)This indicator is designed to observe market concentration and overall valuation by combining the Shiller CAPE Ratio with the SP100/SP400 ratio.
Blue Line: Represents the Shiller CAPE Ratio, which reflects the overall market valuation.
Yellow Line: Represents the SP100/SP400 ratio, which indicates market concentration.
The combination of these two metrics provides insight into market dynamics. Historically, on the SPX monthly chart, when the yellow line (SP100/SP400 ratio) crosses below the blue line (CAPE Ratio), it has been followed by a period of stock market gains.
Justification for Combination:
The Shiller CAPE Ratio is a widely recognized indicator of market valuation, providing a long-term perspective on whether the market is overvalued or undervalued. The SP100/SP400 ratio, on the other hand, measures the concentration of the market by comparing the largest 100 companies to the next 400 mid-sized companies.
By normalizing both metrics and analyzing their relationship, this script provides a unique perspective on market movements. The crossunder of the SP100/SP400 ratio below the CAPE Ratio may signal a shift in market sentiment or concentration, often leading to potential market rallies. This combination is not just a simple merger of indicators but rather a thoughtful integration that adds value by highlighting periods where market concentration and valuation dynamics align.

Bitcoin Power Law Oscillator [InvestorUnknown]The Bitcoin Power Law Oscillator is a specialized tool designed for long-term mean-reversion analysis of Bitcoin's price relative to a theoretical midline derived from the Bitcoin Power Law model (made by capriole_charles). This oscillator helps investors identify whether Bitcoin is currently overbought, oversold, or near its fair value according to this mathematical model.
Key Features:
Power Law Model Integration: The oscillator is based on the midline of the Bitcoin Power Law, which is calculated using regression coefficients (A and B) applied to the logarithm of the number of days since Bitcoin’s inception. This midline represents a theoretical fair value for Bitcoin over time.
Midline Distance Calculation: The distance between Bitcoin’s current price and the Power Law midline is computed as a percentage, indicating how far above or below the price is from this theoretical value.
float a = input.float (-16.98212206, 'Regression Coef. A', group = "Power Law Settings")
float b = input.float (5.83430649, 'Regression Coef. B', group = "Power Law Settings")
normalization_start_date = timestamp(2011,1,1)
calculation_start_date = time == timestamp(2010, 7, 19, 0, 0) // First BLX Bitcoin Date
int days_since = request.security('BNC:BLX', 'D', ta.barssince(calculation_start_date))
bar() =>
= request.security('BNC:BLX', 'D', bar())
int offset = 564 // days between 2009/1/1 and "calculation_start_date"
int days = days_since + offset
float e = a + b * math.log10(days)
float y = math.pow(10, e)
float midline_distance = math.round((y / btc_close - 1.0) * 100)
Oscillator Normalization: The raw distance is converted into a normalized oscillator, which fluctuates between -1 and 1. This normalization adjusts the oscillator to account for historical extremes, making it easier to compare current conditions with past market behavior.
float oscillator = -midline_distance
var float min = na
var float max = na
if (oscillator > max or na(max)) and time >= normalization_start_date
max := oscillator
if (min > oscillator or na(min)) and time >= normalization_start_date
min := oscillator
rescale(float value, float min, float max) =>
(2 * (value - min) / (max - min)) - 1
normalized_oscillator = rescale(oscillator, min, max)
Overbought/Oversold Identification: The oscillator provides a clear visual representation, where values near 1 suggest Bitcoin is overbought, and values near -1 indicate it is oversold. This can help identify potential reversal points or areas of significant market imbalance.
Optional Moving Average: Users can overlay a moving average (either SMA or EMA) on the oscillator to smooth out short-term fluctuations and focus on longer-term trends. This is particularly useful for confirming trend reversals or persistent overbought/oversold conditions.
This indicator is particularly useful for long-term Bitcoin investors who wish to gauge the market's mean-reversion tendencies based on a well-established theoretical model. By focusing on the Power Law’s midline, users can gain insights into whether Bitcoin’s current price deviates significantly from what historical trends would suggest as a fair value.

The Software then identifies two different types of “with trend” trading signals and 1 “trend failure” signal (discussed further down the logic explanation). It is important to know that every pullback is NOT tradeable and a strong set of rules/logic must be used consistently to first measure the pullback. Then a set of repeatable rules/logic is used to identify trading signals when that pullback has found support or resistance within those measured pullback zones. The xBrat Slingshot Software does this all automatically using the following logic.
Long trade
If False Breakout Stochastics (Stoch) closes below 20%, and then closes above 80%, identify a swing low as the lowest price reached since the close below 20%.
When Stoch then closes back down below N%, the algorithm will identify a swing high as the highest price reached since the close above 80.
Behind the chart the software draws a fib retracement from swing low to swing high.
If price ever closed below the 61.8 at any time between the swing high bar and the bar that closed below N%, the software cancels the setup (and undraws pullback zone visuals).
Otherwise our software draws pullback zones at the following fib percentages that are commonly used when measuring pullbacks against a trend.
Pullback zone 1: 23.6-38.2 (default green, light opacity)
Pullback zone 2: 38.2-50 (default green, medium opacity)
Pullback zone 3: 50-61.8 (default green, dark opacity)
If price enters (either closes inside of or touches) a pullback zone and then closes above it without ever closing past (below) it, the setup is confirmed and fib extension targets are drawn (distance from high swing to end of the pullback, extended from the end of the pullback):
Target zone 1: 110-127 (default green, light opacity)
Target zone 2: 161-176 (default green, medium opacity)
Target zone 3: 262-286 (default green, dark opacity)
If price closes past (below) Pullback zone 3 before the setup is confirmed, cancel the setup (and undraw visuals).
Once target zones are drawn, the setup is confirmed and never undrawn.
Short trade
Reverse of the above long trade logic.
Pullback confirmation value: N%
Default zone colour: Red
Once the pullback zone is identified and sufficient initial Support or Resistance occurs within the pullback zones, they are locked along with the target Target Zones for the current move.
Then further confluences are used with our proprietary logic to identify 3 types of Trading Signals. Just because we have a pullback during a trend, doesn't mean we are going to get straight back to the trend. We have identified 2 special sets of confluences that occur in a predefined order to ensure the trend is being returned to with momentum.
These are the Type 1 and Type 2 Trading Signals Below. Then we have another set of circumstances/confluence for when a Trend Fails and traders need to be able to trade these. This is the 3rd type of Trade, a Type 3 below.
Type 1 Trade Signals - Trend Continuation - The following MUST occur within the 3 pullback zones. This signal uses Crosses of Fast and Slow EMA’s which denote the switch back for slingshot and the trend to resume in its original direction after a measured pullback. Then we apply our proprietary EMA cloud for moving out of the pull back zones as a final confirmation for the signal to be Printed.
Type 1 Buy Signals: Fast EMA (default period N, displacement 0) closes below the slow EMA (default period N, displacement N) while in a green pullback zone, and then the fast EMA closes back above the slow EMA without price ever breaking below the last pullback zone (green zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks for entry above the close of the confirmation bar and extend until the lower EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop
Type 1 Sell Signals: Fast EMA (default period N, displacement 0) closes above the slow EMA (default period N, displacement N) while in a red pullback zone, and then the fast EMA closes back below the slow EMA without price ever breaking above the last pullback zone (red zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of the confirmation bar and extend until the upper EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
These are the most common of the trading signals when price action follows all of our standard logic rules for a pullback and starts to return in the direction of the main trend after the measured pullback. The highest probability move is to Target 2.
Type 2 Trades - Trend Continuation - For this signal type the Fast and Slow EMA’s DO NOT Cross. BUT price action has to Enter our proprietary EMA cloud and close in the cloud. Then on a set “N” bars must move back out and close outside of the EMA Cloud back in the direction of the original trend. Again, All this must be done within the Pull back Zones.
Type 2 Buy Signal: A bar closes below the upper cloud line while in a green pullback zone, and then within N bars, a bar closes above the upper cloud line without ever breaking below the last pullback zone or the lower EMA Cloud line (green zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks above the close of this bar and extend until the lower EMA cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower EMA cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
Type 2 Sell Signal: A bar closes above the lower cloud line while in a red pullback zone, and then within N bars, a bar closes below the lower cloud line without ever breaking above the last pullback zone or upper EMA cloud line (red zones must still be printing). Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of this bar and extend until the upper cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper cloud line is shown as trailing stop.
These are Shallow pullbacks, but still hit the pullback zones. The price action in this instance returns to the direction of the main trend more quickly but still follows a different set of rules to that of Type 1 trades. The Highest Probability move is to target Two
Type 3 Trades - Trend failure - These are trend failure signals where the pullback zones are printed but the price action does not return to the main trend, BUT breaks the third pullback zone and breaks the slingshot rules for a Trend following trade setup. Our proprietary EMA Cloud positioning is then used to confirm and print the signal once the leading edge( direction dependent) moves out of the last pullback zone and we get a candle close with “N” percentage of the pull backs zone's depth.
Type 3 Buy Signal: A bar closes above the highest red pullback zone without pricing previously having ever touched the first red target zone for previous short with trend move. Draw a horizontal line N ticks above the close of the bar that broke the last zone and extend until the lower cloud line breaks it – at which point the lower cloud line is shown as a trailing stop.
Type 3 Sell Signal: A bar closes below the lowest green pullback zone without pricing having ever touched the previous first green target zone for previous long with trend move. Draw a horizontal line N ticks below the close of the bar that broke the last zone and extend until the upper cloud line breaks it – at which point the upper cloud line is shown as a trailing stop.
The Trailing Stop Line is also printed to help with trade management of these 3 different types of trades. This EMA trailing stop is adjustable.
This strategy is designed for Scalping, Day Trading and even Swing Trading. Works with Forex, Crypto, Futures and Stocks.
Anomaly Detection with Standard Deviation [CHE]Anomaly Detection with Standard Deviation in Trading
Application for Traders
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential turning points in the market. Anomalies above the upper threshold may indicate overbought conditions, suggesting a possible reversal or sell opportunity. Conversely, anomalies below the lower threshold might signal oversold conditions, presenting a potential buying opportunity. By combining these signals with other technical analysis tools, traders can make more informed decisions and refine their trading strategies.
Introduction
Welcome to this presentation on Anomaly Detection using Standard Deviation in the context of trading. This method helps traders identify unusual price movements that may indicate potential trading opportunities. We will walk through the concept, explain how to set up the indicator, and discuss how traders can utilize it effectively.
Concept Overview
Anomaly Detection using Standard Deviation is a statistical method that identifies price points in a financial market that deviate significantly from the norm. The method relies on calculating the moving average and the standard deviation of a chosen price indicator over a specified period. By defining thresholds (e.g., 3 standard deviations above and below the mean), the method flags these deviations as anomalies, which can signal potential trading opportunities.
1. Selecting the Data Source
Description: The first step in setting up the indicator is choosing the price data that will be analyzed. Common options include the closing price, opening price, highest price, lowest price, or a combination of these (such as the average of the open, high, low, and close prices, known as OHLC4).
Importance: The choice of data source affects the sensitivity and relevance of the detected anomalies.
2. Setting the Calculation Period
Description: The calculation period refers to the number of time units (such as days, hours, or minutes) used to compute the moving average and standard deviation. A typical default period might be 20 units.
Importance: A shorter period makes the indicator more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period smooths out short-term fluctuations and highlights more significant trends.
3. Determining the Number of Displayed Lines and Labels
Description: Traders can configure how many anomaly lines and labels are displayed on the chart at any given time. This is crucial for maintaining a clear and readable chart, especially in volatile markets.
Importance: Limiting the number of displayed anomalies helps avoid clutter and focuses attention on the most recent or relevant data points.
4. Calculating the Mean and Standard Deviation
Description: The mean (or moving average) represents the central tendency of the price data, while the standard deviation measures the dispersion or volatility around this mean.
Importance: These statistical measures are fundamental to determining the thresholds for what constitutes an "anomaly."
5. Defining Anomaly Thresholds
Description: Anomaly thresholds are typically set at 3 standard deviations above and below the mean. Prices that exceed these thresholds are considered anomalies, signaling potential overbought (above the upper threshold) or oversold (below the lower threshold) conditions.
Importance: These thresholds help traders identify extreme market conditions that might present trading opportunities.
6. Identifying Anomalies
Description: The indicator checks whether the high or low prices exceed the defined thresholds. If they do, these price points are flagged as anomalies.
Importance: Identifying these points can alert traders to unusual market behavior, prompting them to consider buying, selling, or holding their positions.
7. Visualizing the Anomalies
Description: The indicator plots the thresholds on the chart as lines, with anomalies highlighted through additional visual cues, such as labels or lines.
Importance: This visualization makes it easy for traders to spot significant deviations from the norm, which might warrant further analysis or immediate action.
8. Managing Displayed Anomalies
Description: To keep the chart organized, the indicator automatically removes the oldest lines and labels when the number exceeds the user-defined limit.
Importance: This feature ensures that the chart remains clear and focused on the most relevant data points, preventing information overload.
Conclusion
The Anomaly Detection with Standard Deviation indicator is a powerful tool for identifying significant deviations in market behavior. By customizing parameters such as the calculation period and the number of displayed anomalies, traders can tailor the indicator to suit their specific needs, leading to more effective trading decisions.

AB_Bnf_Selling_5minThe Mathematical Level Reversal Strategy is designed to identify potential reversal points in the market using mathematical levels combined with price action on a 5-minute chart. This strategy is particularly effective for intraday traders who seek to capitalize on precise entry and exit points based on calculated levels rather than traditional indicators like moving averages or Bollinger Bands.
Creators' Mathematical Levels Explanation
Mathematical levels are predetermined price points calculated based on various factors such as previous high/low points, Fibonacci retracements, or other arithmetic calculations. These levels are used to anticipate areas where the price might reverse or experience significant support or resistance.
higher threshold: A predefined level where the price is expected to experience resistance, leading to a potential reversal downward.
Lower Threshold: A predefined level where the price might find support, leading to a potential upward reversal.
In this strategy, we focus on price movements around the upper mathematical level, where prices are likely to reverse downwards.
Strategy Logic
Setup:
The strategy is applied on a 5-minute chart.
Mathematical levels are calculated based on your preferred method, such as Fibonacci levels, pivot points, or custom calculations. For this strategy, let's assume we are using a specific predefined upper level.
Sell Signal Criteria:
A 5-minute candle must cross above the predefined upper mathematical level or close entirely above it (open and close both above the level).
The following candle must break below the low of the candle that crossed the upper level and close below that low. This confirms a bearish reversal.
Once these conditions are met, a sell signal is triggered.
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is placed at the high of the candle that crossed above the upper mathematical level.
This level represents the point where the trade setup would be invalidated.
Take Profit:
Target 1: The first take profit is set at a level that offers a 1:5 risk-to-reward ratio.
Target 2: An alternative take profit level is set at a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, providing flexibility based on market conditions.
Trade Management:
Once a trade is initiated, no new trades will be taken until the current trade hits either the stop loss or the first take profit level. This prevents overlapping signals and helps in managing risk effectively.
Originality and Usefulness
This strategy offers a unique approach by using mathematical levels instead of traditional indicators. It provides traders with a clear framework for identifying and executing high-probability reversal trades, particularly in intraday markets.
Originality:
The strategy's originality lies in its reliance on mathematical levels combined with a multi-candle confirmation pattern. This approach reduces the chances of false signals and offers a robust method for identifying potential reversals.
Usefulness:
The strategy is particularly useful for traders who prefer a more quantitative approach, relying on calculated price levels rather than indicators. The clear rules for entry, stop loss, and take profit make it easier to execute consistently.
The inclusion of both 1:5 and 1:3 risk-to-reward targets allows for flexibility depending on market conditions, ensuring that traders can adapt to varying levels of volatility.
Chart Signals and Examples
To demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy, let's look at a few hypothetical examples on a 5-minute chart:
Example 1: Clear Reversal Signal
The price steadily rises and crosses above the predefined upper mathematical level. The next candle breaks below the low of this candle and closes lower, triggering a sell signal.
A red dotted line is drawn at the stop loss level (the high of the candle that crossed the upper level).
Two green dashed lines are drawn to indicate the first and second take profit levels.
Example 2: No Signal Due to Ongoing Trade
After an initial sell signal is triggered, the price fluctuates but does not hit either the stop loss or the first take profit target. During this period, the strategy refrains from issuing any new signals, adhering to the trade management rule.
Example 3: Trade Reaches Target 1
In another scenario, the price moves sharply in favor of the trade after the signal is triggered. The first take profit level is hit, securing a profit. The trade is then considered closed, and the strategy is ready to issue a new signal when conditions are met.
Opening Price LinesThis script allows the user to set 16 custom opening time price lines and labels, as well as 4 vertical lines to delineate times of the day.
Opening price is crucial for PO3 and OHLC/OLHC market strategies. If you are bearish, you want to get in above the opening price of a candle; conversely if you are bullish you want to enter below the opening price of a candle.
This indicator will aid in identifying time clusters in price as well as identifying important times for whatever strategy the user employs.

Open Interest (OI) Delta [UAlgo]The Open Interest (OI) Delta indicator is a tool designed to provide insights into the dynamics of Open Interest changes within the futures market. Open Interest (OI) refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as options or futures, that have not been settled. The OI Delta measures the change in Open Interest over a specified period, allowing traders to assess whether new money is entering the market or existing positions are being closed.
This indicator offers two distinct display modes to visualize OI Delta, along with customizable levels that help in categorizing the magnitude of OI changes. Additionally, it provides the option to color-code the bars on the price chart based on the intensity and direction of OI Delta, making it easier for traders to interpret market sentiment and potential future price movements.
🔶 Key Features
Two Display Modes: Choose between two different modes for visualizing OI Delta, depending on your analysis preferences:
Mode 1: Displays the OI Delta directly as positive or negative values.
Mode 2: Separates positive and negative OI Delta values, displaying them as absolute values for easier comparison.
Customizable Levels: Set up to four levels of OI Delta magnitude, each with customizable thresholds and colors. These levels help categorize the OI changes into Normal, Medium, Large, and Extreme ranges, allowing for a more nuanced interpretation of market activity.
MA Length and Standard Deviation Period: Adjust the moving average length and standard deviation period for OI Delta, which smooths out the data and helps in identifying significant deviations from the norm.
Color-Coded Bar Chart: Optionally color the price bars on your chart based on the OI Delta levels, helping to visually correlate price action with changes in Open Interest.
Heatmap Display: Toggle the display of OI Delta levels on the chart, with the option to fill the areas between these levels for a more visually intuitive understanding of the data.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Positive vs. Negative OI Delta:
A positive OI Delta indicates that the Open Interest is increasing, suggesting that new contracts are being created, which could imply fresh capital entering the market.
A negative OI Delta suggests that Open Interest is decreasing, indicating that contracts are being closed out or settled, which might reflect profit-taking or a reduction in market interest.
Magnitude Levels:
Level 1 (Normal OI Δ): Represents typical, less significant changes in OI. If the OI Delta stays within this range, it may indicate routine market activity without any substantial shift in sentiment.
Level 2 (Medium OI Δ): Reflects a more significant change in OI, suggesting increased market interest and possibly the beginning of a new trend or phase of market participation.
Level 3 (Large OI Δ): Indicates a strong change in OI, often associated with a decisive move in the market. This could signify strong conviction among market participants, either bullish or bearish.
Level 4 (Extreme OI Δ): The highest level of OI change, often preceding major market moves. Extreme OI Δ can be a signal of potential market reversals or the final phase of a strong trend.
Color-Coded Bars:
When enabled, the color of the price bars will reflect the magnitude and direction of the OI Delta. This visual aid helps in quickly assessing the correlation between price movements and changes in market sentiment as indicated by OI.
This indicator is particularly useful for futures traders looking to gauge the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing changes in Open Interest. By combining this with price action, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions

Envelop-Ama-VivekThe Adaptive Moving Average (AMA) is a type of moving average developed by Perry Kaufman, designed to adapt to the market's volatility. Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed periods for smoothing, the AMA adjusts its sensitivity based on the market's noise and trends.
### Key Features of AMA:
1. **Adaptive Sensitivity:**
- The AMA responds more quickly to significant market movements while filtering out minor fluctuations. This is achieved by adjusting the smoothing constant dynamically.
- In trending markets, the AMA becomes more sensitive, allowing it to capture trends faster.
- In choppy or sideways markets, the AMA reduces its sensitivity, thus minimizing the impact of noise and avoiding false signals.
2. **Efficiency Ratio (ER):**
- The ER is a core component of the AMA. It measures the efficiency of price movement by comparing the net price change to the total price change over a given period.
- A higher ER indicates a strong trend, while a lower ER suggests more noise in the market.
3. **Smoothing Constant (SC):**
- The SC determines how much weight is given to the most recent price relative to the previous AMA value.
- The SC is dynamically adjusted based on the ER, with higher values used during strong trends and lower values during volatile or choppy periods.
### Applications of AMA:
- **Trend Detection:** The AMA is useful for identifying the start of a new trend or confirming an existing one, as it adjusts quickly to significant price movements.
- **Noise Reduction:** By adapting to market conditions, the AMA helps in filtering out market noise, making it easier to distinguish between genuine trends and short-term fluctuations.
- **Entry and Exit Signals:** Traders can use the AMA to generate buy and sell signals. For instance, when the price crosses above the AMA, it might indicate a buying opportunity, and when it crosses below, it might signal a selling opportunity.
### Benefits:
- **Adaptive Nature:** Its ability to adjust to market conditions makes the AMA more reliable in different market environments.
- **Reduced Lag:** Compared to traditional moving averages, the AMA reduces lag during trending markets, allowing for quicker responses to price movements.
### Drawbacks:
- **Complexity:** The calculation of the AMA is more complex compared to simple moving averages, which might make it less accessible to some traders.
- **Parameter Sensitivity:** The effectiveness of the AMA can vary depending on the chosen parameters (e.g., length, fast length, slow length), requiring careful tuning.
In summary, the AMA is a powerful tool for traders looking to capture trends while minimizing the impact of market noise. Its adaptive nature makes it suitable for various market conditions, providing a balance between responsiveness and noise reduction.
Mystic Pulse [CHE]Mystic Pulse - A Non-Lagging Trend Indicator
Introduction
In the world of trading, identifying trends accurately and timely is crucial for successful decision-making. The saying "The Trend is Your Friend" encapsulates this principle, emphasizing the importance of riding the prevailing market trend. The Mystic Pulse indicator is designed to help traders do exactly that—detect trends early and follow them with confidence.
This presentation will walk you through how the Mystic Pulse indicator functions, its advantages, and how it can be a powerful tool in your trading arsenal.
Key Features of Mystic Pulse
Non-Lagging Signals: Unlike traditional indicators that often lag the market, Mystic Pulse generates trend signals in real-time, ensuring you are always in sync with the current market direction.
Adaptive Smoothing: The indicator employs a smoothing factor that dynamically adjusts based on recent price action, reducing noise and focusing on significant market movements.
Directional Movement Analysis: By calculating the directional movement index (DI+ and DI-) with a unique smoothing approach, the indicator identifies whether bulls or bears are in control.
Trend Counting Logic: The indicator counts consecutive positive and negative trend signals, providing a clear visual representation of the market’s direction.
Customizable Candle Colors: For better visual clarity, the indicator allows for customization of candle colors, highlighting neutral, bullish, or bearish candles based on trend strength.
Understanding the Indicator
1. Directional Movement and ADX Calculation
The Mystic Pulse uses a modified ADX calculation known as ZLAG ADX. It assesses true range, directional movement (both positive and negative), and smoothes these values over a specified length. This helps in capturing the essence of market trends without lag:
True Range (TR): Measures market volatility by comparing the high-low range to the previous close.
Directional Movement: Determines whether bulls (DI+) or bears (DI-) are gaining strength.
These components are then smoothed using a custom formula that adapts to recent price movements, ensuring that the signals remain relevant and timely.
2. Trend Counting Mechanism
The heart of Mystic Pulse is its trend counting logic:
Positive Trend Count: Increases when DI+ shows strengthening bullish signals.
Negative Trend Count: Increases when DI- indicates stronger bearish control.
Total Trend Count: Reflects the dominant trend by comparing positive and negative counts.
This counting mechanism ensures that the indicator is always aware of the current market bias, updating in real-time.
3. Visualization and Signal Generation
The indicator provides visual cues through color-coded plots:
Green Plot: Indicates an ongoing uptrend (positive trend count is higher).
Red Plot: Signals a downtrend (negative trend count is higher).
Neutral Candles: Optionally highlighted when neither bulls nor bears dominate, offering a clearer view of indecisive market conditions.
Application and Strategy
The Mystic Pulse indicator is ideal for traders who prefer trend-following strategies. Here's how you can apply it effectively:
Entry Points: Enter trades when the trend count strongly favors one direction, indicated by consecutive green (bullish) or red (bearish) plots.
Exit Points: Consider exiting when the opposite trend starts to gain traction, signaled by a change in the dominant color.
Risk Management: Use the neutral candle display to avoid trades in uncertain market conditions, thereby reducing risk.
Conclusion
The Mystic Pulse indicator is a sophisticated tool that helps traders stay aligned with market trends, offering non-lagging, adaptive signals. Its design reflects the trading philosophy "The Trend is Your Friend," enabling you to follow the market's lead with confidence.
By incorporating this indicator into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to identify and capitalize on emerging trends, minimizing lag and maximizing potential returns.
