Power Trends [UkutaLabs]█ OVERVIEW
The Power Trends Indicator is a versatile trading toolkit that offers unique insight into key price levels in the market. This script uses currently relevant price-action information to automatically detect pivot levels and use them to create powerful trendlines.
The aim of this script is to improve the trading experience of users by offering a versatile toolkit that can be used in a wide variety of trading strategies to help simplify the complexities of the market.
█ USAGE
The Power Trends Indicator will automatically identify pivot points in real-time using recent price-action information to ensure that all points being identified are relevant. Using these pivot points, the script then draws powerful trend lines that can be used as levels of resistance and support.
To ensure that only the most relevant information is being presented, only the most recent trend lines will be displayed on the user’s charts. As new trend lines are being drawn, older trend lines will become thinner so that traders can identify the most relevant lines at a glance.
The price of the most recent high and low pivot points will also be displayed on the chart and can be used as further levels of resistance and support.
When a recent pivot level is broken, it will be identified as a Break of Structure. This signifies that there may have been a change in market strength.
The Power Trends Indicator also supports multiple time frame mapping, allowing you to mirror the trend lines that would be drawn on higher time frame charts onto lower time frame charts. This feature allows traders to be aware of the market structure of multiple charts at a glance from a single chart.
When mirroring some higher time frame trend lines, lines may appear to not align properly with current time frame bars. This is done intentionally to ensure lines are being drawn accurately to their position on the higher time frame charts.

It plot an arrow and a liquidity level when it detects a change in sentiment from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish.
It plot the Higher timeframe previous completed candle range into the selected Lower timeframe to easily see the HTF levels into the lower timeframe.
The HTF range change colors depending of previous HTF candles closes following the same idea, close above previous candle high means green range, close below previous candle low means red range and close inside means a gray range. Finally it plots the 50% of the HTF range and the previous close high and low.
Finally it draws a yellow value zone that is the difference between the previous candle close and 50% of the previous range. This zone is ideal for taking continuation trades in favor of the HTF trend.
How to use it?
You must first select a higher timeframe in minutes in the settings default value is 1440minutes then select a lower timeframe is the maximum timeframe in where the HTF will be visible. Default lower timeframe is 15minutes.
Then just wait for the HTF candle to close and engage in the LTF when price is around the value yellow zone in a premium or discount.
Green arrows are automatically plot when HTF is bullish and Red arrows when is bearish by default. But you can enable or disable the arrow signals liquidity levels or configure as you want. Making all signals visible or just the buys or sells.
The script is useful to easily identify the HTF draw on liquidity and recent key levels and then use the LTF structure to enter.
The indicator can be used to identify liquidity, price will seek this liquidity point sometimes sweep and then continue the move. if the liquidity or stop level is broken with a body is a clear change of direction.

Uptrick: 6 Coins Market Data TableThe "Uptrick: 6 Coins Market Data Table" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the market data for six major cryptocurrencies. This tool displays crucial information in a table format directly on the chart, enabling traders to make informed decisions quickly. It focuses on providing key metrics such as the Relative Volatility Index (RVI), volume, buy and sell pressure, and liquidity for each coin. The primary purpose of this indicator is to consolidate essential market data for multiple cryptocurrencies into a single, easy-to-read table. This facilitates quick analysis and comparison, helping traders assess market volatility and momentum using the Relative Volatility Index (RVI), monitor trading volume to understand market activity and interest, evaluate buy and sell pressure to gauge market sentiment, and determine liquidity to understand the ease of entering or exiting positions. The indicator is titled "Uptrick: 6 Coins Market Data Table" and is set to overlay on the chart, ensuring that it does not obstruct the view of price action. It uses a custom function to calculate buy and sell pressure based on price movements and trading volume, where buy pressure measures the volume of trades executed at prices above the low but below the high, indicating buying interest, and sell pressure measures the volume of trades executed at prices below the high but above the low, indicating selling interest. Liquidity is calculated as the product of the trading range (high - low) and the trading volume, helping in understanding the ease with which an asset can be traded without affecting its price. The RVI is calculated using the standard deviation of price changes and the exponential moving average (EMA), distinguishing between periods of increasing and decreasing volatility to provide a normalized measure of market volatility, with the RVI value ranging from 0 to 100, where higher values indicate higher volatility. The table is created with six rows and seven columns, with each row representing a cryptocurrency and each column representing a specific metric. The first row of the table includes headers for each metric: Symbol, RVI, Volume, Buy Pressure, Sell Pressure, and Liquidity. The populateTable function retrieves and calculates the necessary data for each cryptocurrency, fetching open, high, low, close prices, and volume, then calculating the RVI, buy/sell pressure, and liquidity. These values are populated into the respective cells in the table, ensuring that traders can see all relevant data at a glance. The indicator allows users to specify six different cryptocurrency symbols through input fields, enabling traders to monitor their preferred coins. The table columns include Symbol (the trading symbol of the cryptocurrency, e.g., BTCUSDT), RVI (the Relative Volatility Index displayed as a percentage, indicating the volatility level), Volume (the trading volume for the specified period, indicating the level of trading activity), Buy Pressure (a volume-based measure of buying interest), Sell Pressure (a volume-based measure of selling interest), and Liquidity (a measure of the asset’s liquidity, combining price range and volume). By bringing together multiple key metrics for six cryptocurrencies into one table, the indicator provides a centralized view of market conditions, enhancing decision-making as traders can quickly assess volatility, market sentiment, and liquidity, aiding in more informed trading decisions. The tool's customizability, allowing users to tailor the table to display their preferred cryptocurrencies, makes it versatile for different trading strategies. This detailed description outlines the functionality and purpose of the "Uptrick: 6 Coins Market Data Table" indicator, emphasizing its role in providing comprehensive and actionable market data for traders.

Power Hour Money StrategyDescription of the Pine Script Code: "Power Hour Money Strategy"
This Pine Script strategy, "Power Hour Money Strategy," is designed to trade based on the alignment of multiple time frames (month, week, day, and hour). The strategy aims to enter long or short positions depending on whether all selected time frames are in sync (all green for long positions, all red for short positions). Additionally, the script includes configurations for trading during specific sessions and automatically closing positions at the end of the trading day.
Core Features:
1. Time Frame Sync Check:
- The strategy evaluates whether the current price is higher than the opening price for the month, week, day, and hour to determine if each time frame is "green" (bullish) or "red" (bearish).
2. Session Control:
- The user can select between different trading sessions:
- "NY Session 9:30-11:30"
- "Extended NY Session 8-4"
- "All Sessions"
- Trades are only executed if the current time falls within the selected session.
3. Trailing Stop Mechanism:
- The strategy includes an optional trailing stop mechanism for both long and short positions.
- The trailing stop is configured with a percentage loss from the current price to protect gains.
4. End-of-Day Position Management:
- An option is provided to automatically close all positions at the end of the trading day (5:45 PM Eastern Time).
Detailed Code Breakdown:
1. Input Settings:
- **Session Selection**: Allows the user to choose the trading session.
- **End-of-Day Close**: Option to automatically close positions at the end of the day.
- **Trailing Stop Loss**: Enables or disables the trailing stop loss feature and sets the percentage for long and short positions.
2. Time Frame Calculations:
- The script uses `request.security` to get the opening prices for higher time frames (monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly).
- It compares the current close price to these opening prices to determine if each time frame is green or red.
3. Session Time Definitions:
- Defines the start and end times for the NY session (9:30-11:30 AM) and the extended session (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM).
4. Trade Execution:
- The strategy checks if all selected time frames are in sync and if the current time falls within the trading session.
- If all conditions are met, it enters a long or short position.
5. Trailing Stop Loss Implementation:
- Adjusts the stop price based on the trailing percentage and the current position's size.
- Automatically exits positions if the trailing stop condition is met.
6. End-of-Day Close Implementation:
- Uses a timestamp to check if the current time is 5:45 PM Eastern Time.
- Closes all positions if the end-of-day condition is met.
7. Plotting and Logging:
- Plots indicators to visualize the green/red status of each time frame.
- Logs information about the status of each time frame for debugging and analysis.
Example Usage:
Entering a Long Position: If the month, week, day, and hour are all green and the current time is within the selected session, a long position is entered.
Entering a Short Position: If the month, week, day, and hour are all red and the current time is within the selected session, a short position is entered.
Trailing Stop: Protects gains by exiting the position if the price moves against the set trailing stop percentage.
End-of-Day Close: Automatically closes all open positions at 5:45 PM Eastern Time if enabled.

ICT Turtle Soup | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT "Turtle Soup" model. The strategy has 5 steps for execution which are described in this write-up. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Turtle Soup Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Turtle Soup Strategy
Adaptive Entry Method
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Turtle Soup strategy may have different implementations depending on the selected method of the trader. This indicator's implementation is described as :
1. Mark higher timerame liquidity zones.
Liquidity zones are where a lot of market orders sit in the chart. They are usually formed from the long / short position holders' "liquidity" levels. There are various ways to find them, most common one being drawing them on the latest high & low pivot points in the chart, which this indicator does.
2. Mark current timeframe market structure.
The market structure is the current flow of the market. It tells you if the market is trending right now, and the way it's trending towards. It's formed from swing higs, swing lows and support / resistance levels.
3. Wait for market to make a liquidity grab on the higher timeframe liquidity zone.
A liquidity grab is when the marked liquidity zones have a false breakout, which means that it gets broken for a brief amount of time, but then price falls back to it's previous position.
4. Buyside liquidity grabs are "Short" entries and Sellside liquidity grabs are "Long" entries by default.
5. Wait for the market-structure shift in the current timeframe for entry confirmation.
A market-structure shift happens when the current market structure changes, usually when a new swing high / swing low is formed. This indicator uses it as a confirmation for position entry as it gives an insight of the new trend of the market.
6. Place Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels according to the risk ratio.
This indicator uses "Average True Range" when placing the stop-loss & take-profit levels. Average True Range calculates the average size of a candle and the indicator places the stop-loss level using ATR times the risk setting determined by the user, then places the take-profit level trying to keep a minimum of 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Turtle Soup concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to look for liquidity grabs. This timeframe setting must be higher than the current chart's timeframe for the indicator to work.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
Entry Method ->
"Classic" : Works as described on the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
"Adaptive" : When "Adaptive" is selected, the entry conditions may chance depending on the current performance of the indicator. It saves the entry conditions and the performance of the past entries, then for the new entries it checks if it predicted the liquidity grabs correctly with the current setup, if so, continues with the same logic. If not, it changes behaviour to reverse the entries from long / short to short / long.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

CPR By Ask Dinesh Kumar(ADK)Simple CPR Indicator to increase probability of profitable trades:
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is a trading tool used by traders to identify potential support and resistance levels in the market. Here's a simplified explanation of how traders can potentially profit using the Central Pivot Range with 10 lines:
1. *Understanding CPR*: CPR consists of three lines: the pivot point (PP), upper resistance level (R1), and lower support level (S1). Additionally, traders often add five more of profitable tradeslines above and below the PP to create a 10-line CPR.
2. *Identify Trend*: Determine the prevailing market trend. If the market is bullish, traders will look for buying opportunities near support levels. If the market is bearish, they'll seek selling opportunities near resistance levels.
3. *Entry Points*: Look for entry points near the support (S1) or resistance (R1) levels within the CPR. These levels can act as potential turning points where price may reverse.
4. *Risk Management*: Set stop-loss orders to manage risk. Stop-loss orders should be placed slightly below support levels for long positions and slightly above resistance levels for short positions.
5. *Profit Targets*: Determine profit targets based on the distance between entry point and the next support or resistance level. Some traders use a risk-reward ratio to ensure potential profits outweigh potential losses.
6. *Confirmation*: Use additional technical indicators or price action patterns to confirm potential entry or exit points within the CPR.
7. *Monitor Price Action*: Continuously monitor price action around the CPR levels. Traders should be prepared to adjust their positions if price breaks through support or resistance levels convincingly.
8. *Trade Management*: Once in a trade, actively manage it by adjusting stop-loss orders, trailing stops, or taking partial profits as price moves in the desired direction.
9. *Market Conditions*: Consider broader market conditions, such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, or news releases, which can impact price movements and the effectiveness of CPR.
10. *Practice and Analysis*: Practice using CPR on historical price charts and analyze past trades to refine strategies and improve decision-making skills.
Remember, trading involves risks, and no strategy guarantees profits. It's essential to thoroughly understand the concepts behind CPR and practice disciplined risk management to increase the likelihood of successful trades.
How does central pivot range work:
Sure here's a concise explanation of how the Central Pivot Range (CPR) works in 10 points:
1. *Calculation*: CPR is calculated using the previous day's high (H), low (L), and close (C) prices.
2. *Pivot Point (PP)*: The central point of CPR is the average of the previous day's high, low, and close prices: PP = (H + L + C) / 3.
3. *Upper Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3)*: These are potential price levels above the pivot point where resistance may occur. They are calculated by adding a multiple of the range (H - L) to the pivot point: R1 = (2 * PP) - L, R2 = PP + (H - L), R3 = PP + 2 * (H - L).
4. *Lower Support Levels (S1, S2, S3)*: These are potential price levels below the pivot point where support may occur. They are calculated similarly to resistance levels but subtracting multiples of the range from the pivot point: S1 = (2 * PP) - H, S2 = PP - (H - L), S3 = PP - 2 * (H - L).
5. *Trading Signals*: Traders use CPR to identify potential support and resistance levels where price may reverse or stall.
6. *Range Bound Markets*: In range-bound markets, traders may buy near support levels (S1, S2, S3) and sell near resistance levels (R1, R2, R3).
7. *Breakout Trading*: When price breaks through a CPR level convincingly, it may indicate a potential trend continuation or reversal, providing breakout trading opportunities.
8. *Volume and Momentum*: Traders often look for confirmation from volume and momentum indicators when price approaches CPR levels.
9. *Intraday Trading*: CPR can be applied to intraday timeframes as well, providing shorter-term traders with potential trading levels for the day.
10. *Dynamic Indicator*: CPR is dynamic and recalculates daily based on new price data, allowing traders to adapt their strategies to current market conditions.
Understanding how to interpret CPR levels and integrate them into a trading strategy can help traders identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
Engulfing with Fibonacci LevelsIndicator Explanation
The indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns and plots Fibonacci levels based on these patterns. Here's a detailed explanation of the script:
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern
A bullish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bearish (`close < open `).
- The current candle is bullish (`close > open`).
- The low of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (`low < low `).
- The current candle's close is higher than the previous candle's open (`close > open `).
When a bullish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the low (0%) to the high (100%) of the bullish candle.
- A green dot is plotted below the bullish candle to indicate a buy signal.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern
A bearish engulfing pattern is identified when:
- The previous candle is bullish (`close > open `).
- The current candle is bearish (`close < open`).
- The high of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (`high > high `).
- The current candle's close is lower than the previous candle's open (`close < open `).
When a bearish engulfing pattern is identified:
- Fibonacci levels are plotted from the high (0%) to the low (100%) of the bearish candle.
- A red dot is plotted above the bearish candle to indicate a sell signal.
3. Plotting Fibonacci Levels
For both bullish and bearish patterns, Fibonacci levels are plotted at:
- 0% (high for bullish, low for bearish)
- 50%
- 61.8%
- 79%
- 100% (low for bullish, high for bearish)
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Explanation
Bearish Signal
In the context of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a bearish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Buy Side Liquidity Grab**: The high of the current bearish candle goes above the high of the previous bullish candle, potentially grabbing buy-side liquidity (stop losses of short positions or buy stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bearish candle below the open of the previous bullish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bearish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bearish candle.
2. Enter a sell trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the downward move.
#### Bullish Signal
Similarly, a bullish engulfing pattern can indicate:
- **Sell Side Liquidity Grab**: The low of the current bullish candle goes below the low of the previous bearish candle, potentially grabbing sell-side liquidity (stop losses of long positions or sell stops).
- **Break of Structure (BoS)**: The close of the bullish candle above the open of the previous bearish candle indicates a shift in market structure.
After identifying this bullish engulfing pattern, a smart money trader might:
1. Wait for the market to retrace 50% of the bullish candle.
2. Enter a buy trade around the 50% retracement level, anticipating a continuation of the upward move.
The indicator helps traders identify key engulfing patterns that align with smart money concepts of liquidity grabs and breaks of structure. By plotting Fibonacci levels, it visually aids traders in waiting for optimal retracement levels (50%) to enter trades in the direction of the anticipated move. This approach leverages the idea that significant market participants often seek liquidity and cause structural shifts, providing entry opportunities for informed traders.

- Signal aggregation : Combines signals from multiple different 📡 Signal Providers, each of which can be tuned and adjusted independently.
- Decaying function : Utilises advanced decaying functions to model the diminishing effect of signals over time, ensuring that recent signals have more weight. In addition to the decaying effect, the "quality" of the original signals (e.g. a "strong" GDM from WaveTrend 4D ) are accounted for as well.
- Flux confluence mechanism : The aggregation of all decaying functions form the "Flux", which is the core signal measurement of the Flux Composer. Multiple mechanisms are available for creating the Flux and effectively using it for actionable trading signals.
- Visualisation : Provides detailed visualisation options to help users understand and tune the contributions of individual Signal Providers and their decaying functions.
- Backtesting : The 🧬 Flux Composer is a core component of the TradingView suite of the 🌸 GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸. It connects multiple 📡 Signal Providers, such as the WaveTrend 4D, and processes their signals to produce a unified "Flux". This Flux can then be used by the GYTS "🎼 Order Orchestrator" for backtesting and trade automation.
🌸 ------ 2️⃣ --- FLUX COMPOSER'S FEATURES --- 2️⃣ ------ 🌸
Let's delve into more details...
💮 1. Multi Signal Provider support
Using the name of the GYTS "🎼 Order Orchestrator" as an analogy: Imagine a symphony where each instrument plays its own unique part, contributing to the overall harmony. The Flux Composer operates similarly, integrating multiple Signal Providers to create a comprehensive and robust trading signal -- the "Flux". Currently, it supports up to four streams from the WaveTrend 4D's ’s Gradient Divergence Measure (GDM) and another four streams from the Quantile Median Cross (QMC). These can be either four "Professional Edition" Signal Providers or eight "Community Editions".
Note that the GDM includes 2 different continuous signals and the QMC 3 different continuous signals (from different frequencies). This means that the Community Edition can handle 2*2 + 2*3 = 10 different continuous signals and the Professional Edition as much as 20.
As GYTS evolves, more Signal Providers will be added; at the moment of releasing the Flux Composer, only WaveTrend 4D is publicly available.
💮 2. Advanced decaying functions
A trading signal can be relevant today, less relevant tomorrow, and irrelevant in a week's time. In other words, its relevance diminishes, or decays , over time. The Flux Composer utilises decaying functions that ensure that recent signals carry more weight, while older signals fade away. This is crucial for accurate signal processing. The intensity and decay settings allow for precise control, allowing emphasising certain signals based on their strength and relevance over time. On top of that, unlike binary signals ("buy now"), the Flux Composer utilises the actual values from the Signal Providers, differentiating between the exact quality of signals, and thus offering a detailed representation of the trading landscape. We will illustrate this in a further section.
💮 3. Customisable Flux confluence mechanisms
Another core component of the Flux Composer is the ability of intelligently combining the decaying functions. It offers four sophisticated confluence mechanisms: Amplitude Compression, Accentuated Amplitude Compression, Trigonometric, and GYTSynthesis. Each mechanism has its unique way of processing the Flux, tailored to different trading needs. For instance, the Amplitude Compression method scales the Flux based on recent values, much like the Stochastic Oscillator, while the Trigonometric method uses smooth functions to reduce outliers’ impact. The GYTSynthesis is a proprietary method, striking a balance between signal strength and discriminative power.
We'll discuss this in more detail in the User Guide section.
💮 4. Actionable trading experience
While the mathematical abilities might seem overwhelming, the goal of the Flux Composer is to transform complex signal data into actionable trading signals. When the Flux reaches certain thresholds, it generates clear bullish or bearish signals, making it easy for traders to interpret. The inclusion of upper and lower thresholds (UT and LT) helps in identifying strong signals visually and should be a familiar behaviour similar to how many other indicators operate. Furthermore, the Flux Composer can plot trading signals directly on the oscillator, showing triangle shapes for buy or sell signals. This visual aid is complemented by the possibility to setup TradingView alerts.
💮 5. Filtering options
The Professional Edition also offers filtering options to possibly further improve the quality of Flux signals. Signal streams can be divided into “Signal Flux” and “Filter Flux.” The Filter Flux acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that only signals meeting the Filter's criteria (which consist of similar UT/LT thresholds) are considered for trading. This dual-layer approach enhances the reliability of trading signals, reducing the chances of false positives.
💮 6. User-friendly experience
GYTS is all about sophisticated, robust methods but also "elegance". One of the interpretations of the latter, is that the users' experience is very important. Despite the Flux Composer's mathematical underpinnings, it offers intuitive settings that with omprehensive tooltips to help with a smooth setup process. For those looking to fine-tune their signals, the Flux Composer allows the visualisation of individual decaying functions. This feature helps users understand the impact of each setting and make informed adjustments. Additionally, the background of the chart can be coloured to indicate the trading direction suggested by the Filter Flux, providing an at-a-glance overview of market conditions.
💮 7. Upgrades compared to Community Edition
Number of signal streams -- At the moment of writing, the Professional Edition works with 4x GDM and 4x QMC signal streams from WaveTrend 4D Signal Provider , while Community Edition (CE) Flux Composer (FC) only works with 2x GDM and 2x QMC signal streams.
Flux confluence mechanism -- CE includes the Amplitude Compression and Trigonometric confluence mechanisms, while the Pro Edition also includes the Accentuated Amplitude Compression and the GYTSynthesis mechanisms.
Signal streams as filters -- The Pro Edition can use Signal Providers as filters.
🌸 ------ 3️⃣ --- USER GUIDE --- 3️⃣ ------ 🌸
💮 1. Selecting Signal Providers
The Flux Composer’s foundation lies in its Signal Providers. When starting with the Flux Composer, using a single Signal Provider can already provide significant value due to the nature of decaying functions. For instance, the WaveTrend 4D signal provider includes up to 5 signal types (GDM and QMC in different frequencies) in a single direction (long/short). Moreover, the various confluence mechanisms that enhance the resulting Flux result in improved discrimination between weak and strong signals. This approach is akin to ensemble learning in machine learning, where multiple models are combined to improve predictive performance.
While using a single Signal Provider is beneficial, the true power of the Flux Composer is realised with multiple Signal Providers. Here are two general approaches to selecting Signal Providers:
Diverse Behaviours
Use Signal Providers with different behaviours, such as WaveTrend 4D on various assets/timeframes or entirely different Signal Providers. This approach leverages diversification to achieve robustness, rooted in the principle that varied sources enhance the overall signal quality. To explain this with an analogy, this strategy aligns with the theory of diversification in portfolio management, where combining uncorrelated assets reduces overall risk. Similarly, combining uncorrelated signals can mitigate the risk of signal failure. A practical example can be integrating a mean-reversion signal with a trend-following signal -- these can balance each other out, providing more stable outputs over different market conditions.
Enhancing a Single Provider
If you consider a particular Signal Provider highly effective, you could improve its robustness by using multiple instances with slight variations. These variations could include different sources (e.g., close, HL2, HLC3), data providers (same asset across different brokers/exchanges), or parameter adjustments. This method mirrors Monte Carlo simulations, often used in risk management and derivative pricing, which involve running many simulations with varied inputs to estimate the probability of different outcomes. By applying similar principles, the strategy becomes less susceptible to overfitting, ensuring the signals are not overly dependent on specific data conditions.
💮 2. Connecting Signal Providers to the Flux Composer
Moving on to practicalities: how do you connect Signal Providers with the Flux Composer? You may have noticed that when you open the drawdown of a data source in a TradingView indicator (with "open", "high", "low", etc.), you also see names from other indicators on your chart. We call these "streams", and the Signal Providers are designed such that they output this stream in a way that the Flux Composer can interpret it. Thus, to connect a Signal Provider with the Flux Composer, you should first have that Signal Provider on your chart. Obviously you should set it up an a way that it seems to provide good signals. After that, in the Data Stream dropdown in the Flux Composer, you can select the stream that is outputted by your Signal Provider. This will always be with a prefix of "🔗 STREAM" (after the Signal Provider's indicator name). See the chart below.
There is one important nuance: when you have multiple (similar) Signal Providers on your chart, it may be hard to select the correct data stream in the Flux Composer as the names of the streams keep repeating when you use identical indicators. So be sure to be attentive as you might end up using the same signals multiple times.
Also, the Signal Providers have an "Indicator name" parameter (and another parameter to repeat this name) that is handy to use when you have multiple Signal Providers on your screen. It is handy to give names that describe the unique settings of that Signal Provider so you can better differentiate what you are looking at on your screen.
💮 3. Understanding the Flux
Let's understand how the Signal Provider's signals are processed. In the chart below, you see we have one Signal Provider (WaveTrend 4D) connected to the Flux Composer and that it gives a bearish QMC signal. The Flux Composer converts this into a decaying function. You can show these functions per Signal Provider when the option "Show decaying function of Signal Provider" is enabled (as it is in the chart).
In our opinion, of crucial importance is the ability to process the quality of signals, rather than just any signal. In mathematical terms, we are interested in continuous signals as these provide a spectrum of values. These signals can reflect varying degrees of market sentiment or trend strength, offering richer information than binary signals, which offer only two states (e.g., buy/sell). Especially in the context of the Flux Composer, where you aggregate multiple signals, it makes a big difference whether you combine 10 weak signals or 10 strong signals. To illustrate this principle, look at the chart below where there are 4 signals of different strengths. As you can see, each of the signals affects the Flux with different intensities.
💮 4. Tuning the decaying functions
As previously mentioned, the decaying functions are a way to give more importance to recent signals while allowing older ones to fade away gradually. This mimics the natural way we assess information, giving more weight to recent events. The decaying functions in the Flux Composer are highly customisable while remaining easy to use. You can adjust the initial intensity , which sets the starting strength of a signal, and the decay rate, which determines how quickly this signal diminishes over time. Let's look at specific examples.
If we add 3 Flux Composers on the chart, connect the same Signal Provider, keep all settings the same with one exception, we get the chart below. Here we have changed the "intensity" parameter of the specific signal. As you can see, the decaying functions are different. The intensity determines the initial strength of the decayed function. Adjusting the intensity allows you to emphasise certain signal types based on their perceived reliability or importance.
Let's now keep the intensity the same ("normal"), but change the "decay" parameter. As you can see in the image below, the decay controls how quickly the signal’s strength diminishes over time. By adjusting the decay, you can model the longevity of the signal’s impact. A faster decay means the signal loses its influence quickly, while a slower decay means it remains relevant for a longer period.
So how do multiple signals interact? You can see this as a simple "stacking of decaying functions" (although there is more to it, see next section). In the chart below we different strenghts of signals and different decay rates to illustrate how the Flux is constructed.
Hopefully this helps with developing some intuition how signals are converted to decaying functions, how you can control them, and how the Flux is constructed. When tuning these parameters, use the visualisation options to see how individual decaying functions contribute to the overall Flux. This helps in understanding and refining the parameters to achieve the desired trading signal behaviour.
💮 5. Choosing Flux confluence mechanism
While we mentioned that the Flux is a "stacking of individual decaying functions", in the back-end, that is not exactly that simple. Like previously mentioned, for GYTS, "elegance" is very important. One of the interpretations is "user friendliness" and the Flux confluence mechanism is one of the essential developments for this characteristic. The Flux confluence mechanism is critical in synthesising the aggregated signals into the Flux. The choice of mechanism affects how the signals are combined and the resulting trading signals. The Professional Edition offers four distinct mechanisms, each with its strengths.
The Amplitude Compression mechanism is intuitive, scaling the Flux based on recent values, intuitively not unlike the method of the well-known Stochastic Oscillator. The Accentuated Amplitude Compression method takes this a step further, giving more weight to strong Flux values. The Trigonometric mechanism smooths the Flux and reduces the impact of outliers, providing a balanced approach. Finally, the GYTSynthesis mechanism, a proprietary approach, balances signal strength and discriminative power, making it easier to tune and generalise.
It's difficult to convey the workings of the Flux confluence mechanism in a chart, but let's take the opportunity to show how the Flux would look like when connecting both one WaveTrend 4D Signal Provider signals to four Flux Composers with default settings, except the Flux confluence mechanism:
You may notice subtle differences between the four methods. They react differently to different values and their overall shape is slightly be different. The Amplitude Compression is more "pointy" and GYTSynthesis doesn't react to low values. There are many nuances, especially in combination with tuning the sensitivity and upper/lower threshold (UT/LT) parameters.
💮 6. Choosing sensitivity
Speaking of the sensitivity , this parameters fine-tunes how responsive the Flux is to the input signals. Higher sensitivity results in more pronounced responses, leading to more frequent trading signals. Lower sensitivity makes the Flux less responsive, resulting in fewer but potentially more reliable signals.
You might think that changing the upper/lower threshold (UT/LT) parameters would be equivalent, but that's not the case. The sensitivity In case of the Amplitude Compression mechanisms, changing the sensitivity would change the relative Flux shape over time, and with the Trigonometric and GYTSynthesis mechanisms, the Flux shape itself (independent of time) would change. In other words, these are all good parameters for tuning.
💮 7. Utilising the filtering options
When choosing the signal stream of a Signal Provider, you can also change the default "Signal" category of that Signal Provider to a "Filter". In the example below, two Signal Providers are connected; the second is set as a filter. You can see that a second row of a Flux is shown in the Flux Composer (this visualisation can be disabled), corresponding with the signals of the second Signal Provider.
Logically, only when the Filter Flux gives a signal in a certain direction, signals from the regular Signal Flux are registered. Generally speaking, for this use case it is handy to set the thresholds for the Filter Flux low and possibly to decrease the decay rate so that the filtering is active for a long enough time.
💮 8. Interpreting the Flux for trading signals
Lastly, the Signal Flux gives buy and sell signals when it crosses the upper/lower thresholds (UT/LT), when the filter allows it (if enabled). This can be visualised with the triangles as you may have seen in the charts in the previous sections. For people using TradingView's alerts -- these would work too out of the box. And finally, for backtesting and possibly trade automation, we will have the GYTS "🎼 Order Orchestrator" that connects with the Flux Composer.

You might think that changing the upper/lower threshold (UT/LT) parameters would be equivalent, but that's not the case. The sensitivity In case of the Amplitude Compression mechanism, changing the sensitivity would change the relative Flux shape over time, and with the Trigonometric mechanism, the Flux shape itself (independent of time) would change. In other words, these are all good parameters for tuning.
💮 8. Interpreting the Flux for trading signals
Lastly, the Signal Flux gives buy and sell signals when it crosses the upper/lower thresholds (UT/LT) This can be visualised with the triangles as you may have seen in the charts in the previous sections. For people using TradingView's alerts -- these would work out of the box. And finally, for backtesting and possibly trade automation, we will have the GYTS "🎼 Order Orchestrator" that connects with the Flux Composer.
