Fractal levels Gold [AstroHub]This indicator detects key fractal points on a price chart and visually marks them with shapes and levels. It helps traders identify potential reversal zones and dynamic support/resistance levels, enhancing market analysis.
Key Features:
Fractal Detection:
The indicator identifies top and bottom fractals using a 5-bar pattern.
A top fractal forms when the middle bar has a higher high compared to the two bars on either side.
A bottom fractal forms when the middle bar has a lower low compared to the two bars on either side.
Fractal Filtering:
The indicator can filter out "pristine" fractals (uninterrupted fractal patterns) based on custom conditions, making it more selective and reducing false signals.
Fractal Plotting:
are plotted as downward triangles.
are plotted as upward triangles.
Users can choose to display or hide fractal points and their corresponding labels.
Fractal Levels:
The indicator automatically plots fractals' levels on the chart, marking potential resistance and support zones.
Fractal levels change dynamically as new fractals are identified.
Customizable Display Options:
Show or hide fractals and levels with adjustable settings.
Choose whether to apply filtering for pristine fractals.
Display the pivot labels to easily track fractal positions.
How It Works:
The indicator uses a simple approach to recognize top and bottom fractals . When a valid fractal is detected, it highlights it on the chart and plots the corresponding price level.
By default, top fractals are shown above the bars (red color), and bottom fractals are shown below the bars (green color).
Fractal levels represent potential reversal points and can act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
Best Use:
The indicator is particularly useful in identifying reversal points and trend changes, helping traders to spot key price levels.
It can be used across various timeframes and markets, particularly for trend-following or reversal strategies.
Customizable Settings:
Show Pivots: Toggle the display of pivot points.
Show Pivot Labels: Display labels for pivot levels.
Show Fractals: Toggle fractal points on the chart.
Show Fractal Levels: Show or hide the levels corresponding to the detected fractals.
Filter for Pristine Fractals: Enable this option to filter out non-pristine fractals for higher accuracy.

Austin MTF EMA Entry PointsAustin MTF EMA Entry Points
Overview
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points is a custom TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability entry points by combining multiple time frame (MTF) analysis. It leverages exponential moving averages (EMAs) from the daily, 1-hour, and 15-minute charts to generate buy and sell signals that align with the overall trend.
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to trade in the direction of the broader daily trend.
Seek precise entry points on lower time frames (1H and 15M).
Prefer using EMAs as their main trend-following tool.
How It Works
Daily Trend Filter:
The indicator calculates the 50 EMA on the daily chart.
The daily EMA acts as the primary trend filter:
If the current price is above the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bullish.
If the current price is below the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bearish.
Lower Time Frame Entry Points:
The indicator calculates the 20 EMA on both the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (15M) time frames.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price aligns with the trend on all three time frames:
Buy Signal: Price is above the daily 50 EMA and also above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Sell Signal: Price is below the daily 50 EMA and also below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Visual and Alert Features:
Plot Lines:
The daily 50 EMA is plotted in yellow for easy identification of the main trend.
The 20 EMA from the 1H chart is plotted in blue, and the 15M chart's EMA is in purple for comparison.
Buy/Sell Markers:
Green "Up" arrows appear for buy signals.
Red "Down" arrows appear for sell signals.
Alerts:
Alerts notify users when a buy or sell signal is triggered, making it easier to act on trading opportunities in real-time.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify the Main Trend:
Check the relationship between the price and the daily 50 EMA (yellow line):
Only look for buy signals if the price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Only look for sell signals if the price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Wait for Lower Time Frame Alignment:
For a valid signal, ensure that the price is also above or below the 20 EMA (blue and purple lines) on both the 1H and 15M time frames:
This alignment confirms short-term momentum in the same direction as the daily trend.
Act on Signals:
Use the arrows as visual cues for entry points:
Enter long trades on green "Up" arrows.
Enter short trades on red "Down" arrows.
The alerts will notify you of these signals, so you don’t have to monitor the chart constantly.
Exit Strategy:
Use your preferred stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing stop strategy.
You can also exit trades if the price crosses back below/above the daily 50 EMA, signaling a potential reversal.
Use Cases
Swing Traders: Use the daily trend filter to trade in the direction of the dominant trend, while using 1H and 15M signals to fine-tune entries.
Day Traders: Leverage the 1H and 15M time frames to capitalize on short-term momentum while respecting the broader daily trend.
Position Traders: Monitor the indicator to determine potential reversals or significant alignment across time frames.
Customizable Inputs
The indicator includes the following inputs:
Daily EMA Length: Default is 50. Adjust this to change the length of the trend filter EMA.
Lower Time Frame EMA Length: Default is 20. Adjust this to change the short-term EMA for the 1H and 15M charts.
Time Frames: Hardcoded to "D", "60", and "15", but you can modify the script for different time frames if needed.
Example Scenarios
Buy Signal:
Price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A green "Up" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Sell Signal:
Price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A red "Down" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
Aligns trades with the higher time frame trend for increased probability.
Uses multiple time frame analysis to identify precise entry points.
Visual signals and alerts make it easy to use in real-time.
Limitations:
May produce fewer signals in choppy or ranging markets.
Requires discipline to avoid overtrading when conditions are unclear.
Lag in EMAs could result in late entries in fast-moving markets.
Final Notes
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points indicator is a powerful tool for traders who value multiple time frame alignment and trend-following strategies. While it simplifies decision-making, it is always recommended to backtest and practice proper risk management before using it in live markets.

0dte Anchored Expected Move by SyntaxGeekHere is a script that's making use of TradingView's new option data feed, without the OPRA data feed I'm unsure this script will be useful as the data will be delayed and I've not tested it without the data subscription.
The script is meant to demonstrate use of options data to generate ideas in the community and perhaps be a useful tool for 0dte traders.
For securities that have 0dte I like to calculate what I call the "opening expected move", it's just like expected move (EM) but it's a snapshot of the EM value at open and remains static throughout the day.
Expected move is the value of an "at the money" (ATM) call and put combined and then added t the price of the underlying.
For example if SPY opens at 600 and the ATM call + put premium (debit) is 3 dollars, then the EM high is 603 and the EM low is 597.
These levels are often areas where the market will react as any breaches of these prices could potentially be something that market participants will have to respond to being that something has hit the market unexpectedly.
Additionally, I've added calculations for half EM plots and live premium calculations for the ATM call and put from the open.
It's a fascinating script and it's fun to watch the premiums during periods of market volatility or a chop range day.
I make no guarantees for any of the data presented and there could be bugs as options data is still quite new in TradingView and I've not spent a long time coding this or testing.
Enjoy!
VIX OscillatorOVERVIEW
Plots an oscillating value as a percentage, derived from the VIX and VIX3M . This can help identify broader market trends and pivots on higher time frames (ie. 1D), useful when making swing trades.
DATA & MATH
The VIX is a real-time index of expected S&P 500 volatility over the next 30 days, derived from option prices with near-term expirations. Similarly, the VIX3M measures expected volatility over the next 90 days.
Dividing one by the other yields an oscillating value, normalizing the relative strength of the expected volatility. Most commonly the VIX is divided by the VIX3M. However, because the VIX is inversely correlated to market sentiment (typically), this indicator divides the VIX3M by the VIX to visually correlate the plot direction with the anticipated market direction. Further, it subtracts 1.1 from the quotient to visually center the plot, and multiplies that difference by 100 to amplify the value as a percentage:
( VIX3M / VIX - 1.1 ) * 100
This variation makes identifying sentiment extremes easier within a buy-low-sell-high paradigm, where values below zero are bearish and values above zero are bullish.
PLOTS
Two plots are used, maximizing data fidelity and convenience. Candles are used to accurately reflect the quantized math and a Linear Regression is used to simplify contextualization. If you're not familiar with what a Linear Regression is, you can think of it like a better moving average. High / Low zones are also plotted to help identify sentiment extremes.
This combination allows you to quickly identify the expected sentiment (bullish / bearish) and its relative value (normal / extreme), which you can then use to anticipate if a trend continuation or pivot is more likely.
INPUTS
Candle colors (rise and fall)
Linear regression colors and length
Zone thresholds and zero line
Pivot Highs/Lows with Bar CountsWhat does the indicator do?
This indicator adds labels to a chart at swing (a.k.a., "pivot") highs and lows. Each label may contain a date, the closing price at the swing, the number of bars since the last swing in the same direction, and the number of bars from the last swing in the opposite direction. A table is also added to the chart that shows the average, min, and max number of bars between swings.
OK, but how do I use it?
Many markets -- especially sideways-moving ones -- commonly cycle between swing highs and lows at regular time intervals. By measuring the number of bars between highs and lows -- both same-sided swings (i.e., H-H and L-L) and opposite-sided swings (i.e., H-L and L-H) -- you can then project the averages of those bar counts from the last high or low swing to make predictions about where the next swing high or low should occur. Note that this indicator does not make the projection for you. You have to determine which swing you want to project from and then use the bar counts from the indicator to draw a line, place a label, etc.
Example: Chart of BTC/USD
The indicator shows pivot highs and lows with bar counts, and it displays a table of stats on those pivots.
If you focus on the center section of the chart, you can see that prices were moving in a sideways channel with very regular highs and lows. This indicator counts the bars between these pivots, and you could have used those counts to predict when the next high or low may have occurred.
The bar counts do not work as well on the more recent section of the chart because there are no regularly time swings.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones🟩 Fibonacci Time-Price Zones is a chart visualization tool that combines Fibonacci ratios with time-based and price-based geometry to analyze market behavior. Unlike typical Fibonacci indicators that focus solely on horizontal price levels, this indicator incorporates time into the analysis, providing a more dynamic perspective on price action.
The indicator offers multiple ways to visualize Fibonacci relationships. Drawing segmented circles creates a unique perspective on price action by incorporating time into the analysis. These segmented circles, similar to TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles, are derived from Fibonacci time and price levels, allowing traders to identify potential turning points based on the dynamic interaction between price and time.
As another distinct visualization method, the indicator incorporates orthogonal patterns, created by the intersection of horizontal and vertical Fibonacci levels. These intersections form L-shaped connections on the chart, derived from key Fibonacci price and time intervals, highlighting potential areas of support or resistance at specific points in time.
In addition to these geometric approaches, another option is sloped lines, which project Fibonacci levels that account for both time and price along the trendline. These projections derive their angles from the interplay between Fibonacci price levels and Fibonacci time intervals, creating dynamic zones on the chart. The slope of these lines reflects the direction and angle of the trend, providing a visual representation of price alignment with market direction, while maintaining the time-price relationship unique to this indicator
The indicator also includes horizontal Fibonacci levels similar to traditional retracement and extension tools. However, unlike standard tools, traders can display retracement levels, extension levels, or both simultaneously from a single instance of the indicator. These horizontal levels maintain consistency with the chosen visualization method, automatically scaling and adapting whether used with circles, orthogonal patterns, or slope-based analysis.
By combining these distinct methods—circles, orthogonal patterns, sloped projections, and horizontal levels—the indicator provides a comprehensive approach to Fibonacci analysis based on both time and price relationships. Each visualization method offers a unique perspective on market structure while maintaining the core principle of time-price interaction.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
While traditional Fibonacci tools excel at identifying potential support and resistance levels through price-based ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.618), they do not incorporate the dimension of time in market analysis. Extensions and retracements effectively measure price relationships within trends, yet markets move through both price and time dimensions simultaneously.
Fibonacci circles represent an evolution in technical analysis by incorporating time intervals alongside price levels. Based on the mathematical principle that markets often move in circular patterns proportional to Fibonacci ratios, these circles project potential support and resistance zones as partial circles radiating from significant price points. However, traditional circle-based tools can create visual complexity that obscures key market relationships. The integration of time into Fibonacci analysis reveals how price movements often respect both temporal and price-based ratios, suggesting a deeper geometric structure to market behavior.
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator advances these concepts by providing multiple geometric approaches to visualize time-price relationships. Each shape option—circles, orthogonal patterns, slopes, and horizontal levels—represents a different mathematical perspective on how Fibonacci ratios manifest across both dimensions. This multi-faceted approach allows traders to observe how price responds to Fibonacci-based zones that account for both time and price movements, potentially revealing market structure that purely price-based tools might miss.
Shape Options
The indicator employs four distinct geometric approaches to analyze Fibonacci relationships across time and price dimensions:
Circular : Represents the cyclical nature of market movements through partial circles, where each radius is scaled by Fibonacci ratios incorporating both time and price components. This geometry suggests market movements may follow proportional circular paths from significant pivot points, reflecting the harmonic relationship between time and price.
Orthogonal : Constructs L-shaped patterns that separate the time and price components of Fibonacci relationships. The horizontal component represents price levels, while the vertical component measures time intervals, allowing analysis of how these dimensions interact independently at key market points.
Sloped : Projects Fibonacci levels along the prevailing trend, incorporating both time and price in the angle of projection. This approach suggests that support and resistance levels may maintain their relationship to price while adjusting to the temporal flow of the market.
Horizontal : Provides traditional static Fibonacci levels that serve as a reference point for comparing price-only analysis with the dynamic time-price relationships shown in the other three shapes. This baseline approach allows traders to evaluate how the incorporation of time dimension enhances or modifies traditional Fibonacci analysis.
By combining these geometric approaches, the Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator creates a comprehensive analytical framework that bridges traditional and advanced Fibonacci analysis. The horizontal levels serve as familiar reference points, while the dynamic elements—circular, orthogonal, and sloped projections—reveal how price action responds to temporal relationships. This multi-dimensional approach enables traders to study market structure through various geometric lenses, providing deeper insights into time-price symmetry within technical analysis. Whether applied to retracements, extensions, or trend analysis, the indicator offers a structured methodology for understanding how markets move through both price and time dimensions.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Fibonacci Time-Price Zones indicator offers a range of configurable settings to tailor its functionality and visual representation to your specific analysis needs. These options allow you to customize zone visibility, structures, horizontal lines, and other features.
Important Note: The indicator's calculations are anchored to user-defined start and end points on the chart. When switching between charts with significantly different price scales (e.g., from Bitcoin at $100,000 to Silver at $30), adjustment of these anchor points is required to ensure correct positioning of the Fibonacci elements.
Fibonacci Levels
The indicator allows users to customize Fibonacci levels for both retracement and extension analysis. Each level can be individually configured with the following options:
Visibility : Toggle the visibility of each level to focus on specific areas of interest.
Level Value : Set the Fibonacci ratio for the level, such as 0.618 or 1.000, to align with your analysis needs.
Color : Customize the color of each level for better visual clarity.
Line Thickness : Adjust the line thickness to emphasize critical levels or maintain a cleaner chart.
Setup
Zone Type : Select which Fibonacci zones to display:
- Retracement : Shows potential pull back levels within the trend
- Extension : Projects levels beyond the trend for potential continuation targets
- Both : Displays both retracement and extension zones simultaneously
Shape : Choose from four visualization methods:
- Circular : Time-price based semicircles centered on point B
- Orthogonal : L-shaped patterns combining time and price levels
- Sloped : Trend-aligned projections of Fibonacci levels
- Horizontal : Traditional horizontal Fibonacci levels
Visual Settings
Fill % : Adjusts the fill intensity of zones:
0% : No fill between levels
100% : Maximum fill between levels

Time-Price Points
Set the time and price for the points that define the Fibonacci zones and horizontal levels. These points are defined upon loading the chart. These points can be configured directly in the settings or adjusted interactively on the live chart.
A and B Points : These user-defined time and price points determine the basis for calculating the semicircles and Fibonacci levels. While the settings panel displays their exact values for fine-tuning, the easiest way to modify these points is by dragging them directly on the chart for quick adjustments.
Interactive Adjustments : Any changes made to the points on the chart will automatically synchronize with the settings panel, ensuring consistency and precision.

The circles represent different Fibonacci ratios (0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) and their intersections with the price axis create potential zones of support and resistance. This approach offers a visually distinct way to analyze potential turning points based on both price and time.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option. The sloped Fibonacci levels (0.786, 0.618, 0.5) create zones of potential support and resistance, with price finding clear interaction within these areas. The ellipses highlight this price action, particularly the support between 0.786 and 0.618, which aligns closely with the trend.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Circular' Shape option. The price action appears to be ‘hugging’ the 0.5 Fibonacci level, suggesting potential resistance. This demonstrates how the circular zones can identify potential turning points and areas of consolidation which might not be seen with linear analysis.
Fibonacci Time-Price Zones using the 'Sloped' Shape option with Point D marker enabled. The chart demonstrates clear price action closely following along the sloped Retracement line until the orthogonal intersection at the 0.618 levels where the trend is broken and price dips throughout the 0.618 to 0.786 horizontal zone. Price jumps back to the retracement slope at the start of the 0.786 horizontal zone and continues to the 1.0 horizontal zone. The aqua-colored retracement line is enabled to further emphasize this retracement slope .

📐 GEOMETRIC FOUNDATIONS 📐
This indicator integrates circular and straight representations of Fibonacci levels, specifically the Circular , Orthogonal , Sloped , and Horizontal shape options. The geometric principles behind these shapes differ significantly, requiring distinct scaling methods for accurate representation. The Circular shape employs logarithmic scaling with radial expansion, where the distance from a central point determines the level's position, creating partial circles that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circle tool. The other three shapes utilize geometric progression scaling for linear extension from a starting point, resulting in straight lines that align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci retracement and extension tools. Due to these distinct geometric foundations and scaling methods, perfectly aligning both the partial circles and straight lines simultaneously is mathematically constrained, though any differences are typically visually imperceptible.
The Circular shape's partial circles are calculated and scaled to align with TradingView's built-in Fibonacci Circles. These circles are plotted from the second swing point onward. This approach ensures consistent and accurate visualization across all market types, including those with gaps or closed sessions, which unlike 24/7 markets, do not have a direct one-to-one correspondence between bar indices and time. To maintain accurate geometric proportions across varying chart scales, the indicator calculates an aspect ratio by normalizing the proportional difference between vertical (price) and horizontal (time) distances of the swing points. This normalization factor ensures geometric shapes maintain their mathematical properties regardless of price scale magnitude or time period span, while maintaining the correct proportions of the geometric constructions at any chart zoom level.
The indicator automatically applies the appropriate scaling factor based on the selected shape option, optimizing either circular proportions and proper radius calculations for each Fibonacci level, or straight-line relationships between Fibonacci levels. These distinct scaling approaches maintain mathematical integrity while preserving the essential characteristics of each geometric representation, ensuring optimal visualization accuracy whether using circular or linear shapes.

[EmreKb] Dynamic Factor SupertrendThe Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an innovative variation of the classic Supertrend indicator, designed to provide traders with more accurate trend signals while reducing the impact of false breakouts. Unlike the traditional Supertrend, which relies on a fixed multiplier (Factor) applied to the Average True Range (ATR), this enhanced version introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism based on price movements relative to the Supertrend line.
This indicator works by assessing the distance between the price and the Supertrend line. When the price moves significantly beyond the typical ATR × Factor distance, the remaining gap is recalculated using a Dynamic Factor. This additional scaling adjusts the base factor, effectively modifying the Supertrend line to better reflect current market conditions. This process ensures that the trend line adapts dynamically to changes in price behavior, reducing noise and improving signal reliability in volatile markets.
One of the key advantages of the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is its ability to minimize false trend reversals. By incorporating the Dynamic Factor adjustment, the indicator becomes more resilient to minor price fluctuations that could otherwise trigger incorrect signals. This makes it particularly effective in markets where volatility is high, or during periods of choppy price action, where traditional Supertrend indicators often struggle to maintain accuracy.
Traders can use the Dynamic Factor Supertrend to identify clear trend directions, with uptrends signaled when the price is above the trend line and downtrends when it is below. The Dynamic Factor parameter can be fine-tuned to match individual trading styles, offering greater flexibility. A lower value makes the trend line more responsive to price changes, while a higher value provides more stability by reducing the frequency of adjustments.
In summary, the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an advanced trend-following tool that combines the foundational concepts of the Supertrend with a novel dynamic adjustment mechanism. It offers traders a more reliable way to navigate complex market conditions, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy. This indicator is particularly well-suited for those seeking to reduce false signals and enhance the accuracy of their trend analysis in all market environments.
Alternate Bat Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Bat Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is one of the most precise and practical tools in technical analysis, introduced by Scott Carney in 2003. This pattern focuses on specific Fibonacci ratios, such as 0.382 at point B and 1.13XA at point D, to identify Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) where price is likely to reverse.
The Alternative Bat pattern emerged as a result of repeated failures observed in the standard Bat pattern. Traders entering trades near the 0.886XA level of the standard Bat often encountered losses. In the Alternate Bat, point D extends beyond 0.886XA, typically reversing at 1.13XA, offering a more accurate identification of the reversal zone.
A key characteristic of this pattern is its M- or W-shaped structure, where the midpoint B retraces 0.382XA or less. Additionally, the CD leg requires an extension of 2.0 to 3.618 to complete the pattern. Due to its accuracy and the predictable behavior of price near the PRZ, the Alternate Bat pattern is recognized as a powerful tool for forecasting price reversals.
In the bullish Alternative Bat pattern, an M-shaped structure forms. After an initial upward movement (XA), price undergoes a short correction at point B (0.382XA) and then declines toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential upward reversal is expected.
In the bearish Alternate Bat pattern, a W-shaped structure forms. After an initial downward movement (XA), price retraces slightly at point B (0.382XA) and then rises toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential downward reversal is anticipated.
🔵 How to Use
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is a key tool for identifying potential reversal zones (PRZ) in the market. By leveraging the 0.382 retracement at point B and the 1.13XA extension at point D, along with symmetrical price structures, this pattern offers precise reversal opportunities in both bullish and bearish market conditions.
🟣 Bullish Alternate Bat Pattern
The bullish Alternate Bat pattern forms during a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. This pattern consists of three downward movements with two corrective waves, ultimately reaching point D, which marks the PRZ.
At the PRZ, the convergence of Fibonacci levels—1.13XA and extensions ranging from 2.0 to 3.618BC—creates a strong support zone where price is likely to reverse upward.
🟣 Bearish Alternative Bat Pattern
The bearish Alternate Bat pattern develops during an uptrend, indicating a potential reversal to the downside. This pattern features three upward price movements with two retracements, ending at point D, where the PRZ forms.
Point D is defined by the 1.13XA extension and the 2.0 to 3.618BC projection, creating a strong resistance zone where price is expected to reverse downward.

Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator [AVSO] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator (AVSO) is a dynamic trading indicator that measures and visualizes volatility-adjusted market behavior. By scaling various metrics (such as volume, price changes, standard deviation, ATR, and Yang-Zhang volatility) and applying adaptive smoothing, AVSO helps traders identify market conditions where volatility deviates significantly from the norm.
This indicator uses standardized scaling (Z-Score logic) to highlight periods of abnormally high or low volatility relative to recent history. With gradient coloring and clear volatility zones, AVSO provides a visually intuitive way to analyze market volatility and adapt trading strategies accordingly.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaling Metrics: The indicator scales user-selected metrics (e.g., volume, ATR, standard deviation) relative to the market and price, providing a standardized volatility measure.
⚪ Z-Score Standardization: The scaled metric is normalized using a Z-Score to measure how far current volatility deviates from its recent mean.
Positive Z-Score: Above-average volatility.
Negative Z-Score: Below-average volatility.
⚪ Adaptive Smoothing: An Adaptive EMA smooths the Z-Score, dynamically adjusting its length based on the strength of the volatility. Stronger deviations result in shorter smoothing, increasing responsiveness.
█ Unique Feature: Yang-Zhang Volatility
The Yang-Zhang volatility estimator sets this indicator apart by providing a more robust and accurate measure of volatility compared to traditional methods like ATR or standard deviation.
⚪ What Makes Yang-Zhang Volatility Unique?
Comprehensive Calculation: It combines overnight price gaps (log returns from the previous close to the current open) and intraday price movements (high, low, and close).
Accurate for Gapped Markets: Traditional volatility measures can misrepresent price movement when significant gaps occur between sessions. Yang-Zhang accounts for these gaps, making it highly reliable for assets prone to overnight price jumps, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures.
Adaptable to Real Market Conditions : By including both close-to-open returns and intraday volatility, it provides a balanced and adaptive measure that captures the full volatility picture.
⚪ Why This Matters to Traders
Better Volatility Insights: Yang-Zhang offers a clearer view of true market volatility, especially in markets with price gaps or uneven trading sessions.
Improved Trade Timing: By identifying volatility spikes and calm periods more effectively, traders can time their entries and exits with greater confidence.
█ How to Use
Identify High and Low Volatility
A high Z-Score (>2) indicates significant market volatility. This can signal momentum-driven moves, breakouts, or areas of increased risk.
A low Z-Score (<-2) suggests low volatility or a calm market environment. This often occurs before a potential breakout or reversal.
Trade Signals
High Volatility Zones (background highlight): Monitor for potential breakouts, trend continuations, or reversals.
Low Volatility Zones: Anticipate range-bound conditions or upcoming volatility spikes.
█ Settings
Source: Select the price source for scaling calculations (close, high, low, open).
Metric Measure: Choose the volatility measure:
Volume: Scales raw volume.
Close: Uses closing price changes.
Standard Deviation: Price dispersion.
ATR: Average True Range.
Yang: Yang-Zhang volatility estimate.
Bars to Analyze: Number of historical bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scaled metric.
ATR / Standard Deviation Period: Lookback period for ATR or Standard Deviation calculation.
Yang Volatility Period: Period for the Yang-Zhang volatility estimator.
Smoothing Period: Base smoothing length for the adaptive smoothing line.

Up and Downwhat is "Up and Down"?
It is an indicator designed to show you in detail on the chart and warn you when there is an increase or decrease in the market at a level that you consider important.
what it does?
When the price difference between a top and bottom is greater than the level you selected (the default input is 10 percent), it indicates this along with the percentage value on the chart. Then, it indicates the start and end points with lines so that you can see the change from where to where. It shows the price's current percentage distance from the last bottom or top in the upper right corner.
it also colors the candles so you can better understand how fast the price is moving. The greener the candles, the stronger the rise, and conversely, the greater the decline, the redder the candles. Of course, if you set an alarm, it will tell you in which trading pair, in which time period, at what percentage and in which direction there is a movement.
how it does it?
It uses a moving average with a short length to find bottoms and tops. It then measures the distance from the last peak to the bottom and expresses it as a percentage. It uses momentum using the moving average as a source to paint the candles. To compress this momentum between the values 255 and 0, I used a formula that I also used in my limited fisher transform work (because the inputs in the color.rgb function take values between 0 and 255). It was a bit challenging to use the lines correctly, but with the "ta.valuewhen" function and a little experimenting, they were I made sure they were drawn correctly.
how to use it?
It is quite simple to use. First, select the minimum interval you want to receive alarms. If you make this value too high, you will not receive any alarms; if you make it too low, you will receive too many alarms. Choose the range that will benefit you most for the trading pair you are using. Then all you have to do is set an alarm. When you set an alarm, leave the note section blank and the indicator will send you the necessary information.
TASC 2025.01 Linear Predictive Filters█ OVERVIEW
This script implements a suite of tools for identifying and utilizing dominant cycles in time series data, as introduced by John Ehlers in the "Linear Predictive Filters And Instantaneous Frequency" article featured in the January 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . Dominant cycle information can help traders adapt their indicators and strategies to changing market conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
Conventional technical indicators and strategies often rely on static, unchanging parameters, which may fail to account for the dynamic nature of market data. In his article, John Ehlers applies digital signal processing principles to address this issue, introducing linear predictive filters to identify cyclic information for adapting indicators and strategies to evolving market conditions.
This approach treats market data as a complex series in the time domain. Analyzing the series in the frequency domain reveals information about its cyclic components. To reduce the impact of frequencies outside a range of interest and focus on a specific range of cycles, Ehlers applies second-order highpass and lowpass filters to the price data, which attenuate or remove wavelengths outside the desired range. This band-limited analysis isolates specific parts of the frequency spectrum for various trading styles, e.g., longer wavelengths for position trading or shorter wavelengths for swing trading.
After filtering the series to produce band-limited data, Ehlers applies a linear predictive filter to predict future values a few bars ahead. The filter, calculated based on the techniques proposed by Lloyd Griffiths, adaptively minimizes the error between the latest data point and prediction, successively adjusting its coefficients to align with the band-limited series. The filter's coefficients can then be applied to generate an adaptive estimate of the band-limited data's structure in the frequency domain and identify the dominant cycle.
█ USAGE
This script implements the following tools presented in the article:
Griffiths Predictor
This tool calculates a linear predictive filter to forecast future data points in band-limited price data. The crosses between the prediction and signal lines can provide potential trade signals.
Griffiths Spectrum
This tool calculates a partial frequency spectrum of the band-limited price data derived from the linear predictive filter's coefficients, displaying a color-coded representation of the frequency information in the pane.
Griffiths Dominant Cycle
This tool compares the cyclic components within the partial spectrum and identifies the frequency with the highest power, i.e., the dominant cycle . Traders can use this dominant cycle information to tune other indicators and strategies, which may help promote better alignment with dynamic market conditions.
Notes on parameters
Bandpass boundaries:
In the article, Ehlers recommends an upper bound of 125 bars or higher to capture longer-term cycles for position trading. He recommends an upper bound of 40 bars and a lower bound of 18 bars for swing trading. If traders use smaller lower bounds, Ehlers advises a minimum of eight bars to minimize the potential effects of aliasing.
Data length:
The Griffiths predictor can use a relatively small data length, as autocorrelation diminishes rapidly with lag. However, for optimal spectrum and dominant cycle calculations, the length must match or exceed the upper bound of the bandpass filter. Ehlers recommends avoiding excessively long lengths to maintain responsiveness to shorter-term cycles.
