Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator [CHE]Why use the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator ?
Flat markets, where prices remain within a narrow range for an extended period, can be both critical and dangerous for traders. In a flat market, the price action becomes less predictable, and traders may struggle to find profitable trading opportunities. As a result, many traders may decide to take a break from the market until a clear trend emerges.
However, flat markets can also be dangerous for traders who continue to trade despite the lack of clear trends. In the absence of a clear direction, traders may be tempted to take larger risks or make impulsive trades in an attempt to capture small profits. Such behavior can quickly lead to significant losses, especially if the market suddenly breaks out of its flat range, causing traders to experience large drawdowns.
Therefore, it is essential to approach flat markets with caution and to have a clear trading plan that incorporates strategies for both trending and flat markets. Traders may also use technical indicators, such as the Flat Market and Low ADX Indicator, to help identify flat markets and determine when it is appropriate to enter or exit a position.
The confluence between flat markets and low ADX readings can further increase the risk of trading during these periods. The ADX (Average Directional Index) is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. A low ADX reading indicates that the market is in a consolidation phase, which can coincide with a flat market. When a flat market occurs during a period of low ADX, traders should be even more cautious, as there is little to no directional bias in the market. In this situation, traders may want to consider waiting for a clear trend to emerge or using range-bound trading strategies to avoid taking excessive risks.
Introduction:
Pine Script is a programming language used for developing custom technical analysis indicators and trading strategies in PulseWire. This particular script is an indicator designed to identify flat markets and low ADX conditions. In this description, we will delve deeper into the functionality of this script and how it can be used to improve trading decisions.
Description:
The first input in the script is the length of the moving average used for calculating the center line. This moving average is used to define the high and low range of the market. The script then calculates the middle value of the range by taking the double exponential moving average (EMA) of the high, low, and close prices.
The script then determines whether the market is flat by comparing the middle value of the range with the high and low values. If the middle value is greater than the high value or less than the low value, the market is not flat. If the middle value is within the high and low range, the script considers the market to be flat. The script also uses RSI filter settings to further confirm if the market is flat or not. If the RSI value is between the RSI min and max values, then the market is considered flat. If the RSI value is outside this range, the market is not considered flat.
The script also calculates the ADX (Average Directional Index) to determine whether it's in a low area. ADX is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend. The script uses the ADX filter settings to define the ADX threshold value. If the ADX value is below the threshold value, the script considers the market to be in a low ADX area.
The script provides various input options to customize the display settings, including the option to show the flat market and low ADX areas. Users can choose their preferred colors for the flat market and low ADX areas and adjust the transparency levels to suit their needs.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this Pine Script indicator is designed to identify flat market and low ADX conditions, which can help traders make informed trading decisions. The script uses a range of inputs and calculations to determine the market direction, RSI filter, and ADX filter. By customizing the display settings, users can adjust the indicator to suit their preferences and improve their trading strategies. Overall, this script can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain an edge in the markets.

Overview
Dynamo is built to be the Swiss-knife for price-movement & strength detection, it aims to provide a holistic view of the current price across multiple dimensions. This is achieved by combining 3 very specific indicators(RSI, Stochastic & ADX) into a single view. Each of which serve a different purpose, and collectively provide a simple, yet powerful tool to gauge the true nature of price-action.
Background
Dynamo uses 3 technical analysis tools in conjunction to provide better insights into price movement, they are briefly explained below:
Relative Strength Index(RSI)
RSI is a popular indicator that is often used to measure the velocity of price change & the intensity of directional moves. RSI computes the relative strength of the current price by comparing the security’s bullish strength versus bearish strength for a given period, i.e. by comparing average gain to average loss.
It is a range bound(0-100) variable that generates a bullish reading if average gain is higher, and a bullish reading if average loss is higher. Values over 50 are generally considered bullish & values less than 50 indicate a bearish market. Values over 70 indicate an overbought condition, and values below 30 indicate oversold condition.
Stochastic
Stochastic is an indicator that aims to measure the momentum in the market, by comparing most recent closing price of the security to its price range for a given period. It is based on the assumption that price tends to close near the recent high in an up trend, and it closes near the recent low during a down trend.
It is also range bound(0-100), values over 80 indicate overbought condition and values below 20 indicate oversold condition.
Average Directional Index(ADX)
ADX is an indicator that can quantify trend strength, it is derived from two underlying indices, known as Directional Movement Index(DMI). +DMI represents strength of the up trend, and -DMI represents strength of the down trend, and ADX is the average of the two.
ADX is non-directional or trend-neutral, which means, it does not follow the direction of the price, instead ADX will rise only when there is a strong trend, it does not matter if it’s an up trend or a down trend. Typical ranges of ADX are 25-50 for a strong trend, anything below 25 is considered as no trend or weak trend. ADX can frequently shoot upto higher values, but it generally finds exhaustion levels around the 60-75 range.
About the script
All these indicators are very powerful tools, but just like any other indicator they have their limitations. Stochastic & ADX can generate false signals in volatile markets, meaning price wouldn’t always follow through with what’s being indicated. ADX may even fail to generate a signal in less volatile markets, simply because it is based on moving averages, it tends to react slower to price changes. RSI can also lose it’s effectiveness when markets are trending strong, as it can stay in the overbought or oversold ranges for an extended period of time.
Dynamo aims to provide the trader with a much broader perspective by bringing together these contrasting indicators into a single simplified view. When Stochastic becomes less reliable in highly volatile conditions, one can cross validate their deduction by looking at RSI patterns. When RSI gets stuck in overbought or oversold range, one can refer to ADX to get better picture about the current trend. Similarly, various combinations of rules & setups can be formulated to get a more deterministic view, when working with either of these indicators.
There many possible use cases for a tool like this, and it totally depends on how you want to use it. An obvious option is to use it to trigger signals only after it has been confirmed by two or more indicators, for example, RSI & Stochastic make a great combination for cross-over or cross-under strategies. Some of the other options include trend detection, strength detection, reversals or price rejection points, possible duration of a trend, and all of these can very easily be translated into effective entry and exit points for trades.
How to use it
Dynamo is an easy-to-use tool, just add it to your chart and you’re good to start with your market analysis. Output consists of three overlapping plots, each of which tackle price movement from a slightly different angle.
Stochastic: A momentum indicator that plots the current closing price in relation to the price-range over a given period of time.
Can be used to detect the direction of the price movement, potential reversals, or duration of an up/down move.
Plotted as grey coloured histograms in the background.
Relative Strength Index(RSI): RSI is also a momentum indicator that measures the velocity with which the price changes.
Can be used to detect the speed of the price movement, RSI divergences can be a nice way to detect directional changes.
Plotted as an aqua coloured line.
Average Directional Index(ADX): ADX is an indicator that is used to measure the strength of the current trend.
Can be used to measure how strong the price movement is, both up and down, or to establish long terms trends.
Plotted as an orange coloured line.
Features
Provides a well-rounded view of the market movement by amalgamating some of the best strength indicators, helping traders make better informed decisions with minimal effort.
Simplistic plots that aim to convey clean signals, as a result, reducing clutter on the chart, and hopefully in the trader's head too.
Combines different types of indicators into a single view, which leads to an optimised use of the precious screen real-estate.
Final Note
Dynamo is designed to be minimalistic in functionality and in appearance, as it is being built to be a general purpose tool that is not only beginner friendly, but can also be highly-configurable to meet the needs of pro traders.
Thresholds & default values for the indicators are only suggestions based on industry standards, they may not be an exact match for all markets & conditions. Hence, it is advisable for the user to test & adjust these values according their securities and trading styles.
The chart highlights one of many possible setups using this tool, and it can used to create various types of setups & strategies, but it is also worth noting that the usability & the effectiveness of this tool also depends on the user’s understanding & interpretation of the underlying indicators.
Lastly, this tool is only an indicator and should only be perceived that way. It does not guarantee anything, and the user should do their own research before committing to trades based on any indicator.

ADX Volume Trend
Thie indicator is a modified and upgraded version of the popular ADX tool.
ADX is used to determine the strength of a trend, and also to determine the direction in which the trend is likely to go.
With this script, I have added in the formula the usage of volume, leading to the following functionality.
The length is used to determine the period to calculate the trend strength and direction, and the average is used to then determine the oscillator and to confront the previous line.
The volume average determines how many volumes bars the indicator should use to determine if a volume bar is above or below average if volume mode is selected.
With the volume mode on, you'll get the DI+ and DI- lines, which are by default displayed as a histogram that calculates the difference between the two lines, called "Directional difference", are calculated using also the volume in the formula, multiplying the normal output by the volume multiplier. I suggest using this mode in high-volume markets.
The trend strength difference is the area calculated using the difference between the ADX line and his moving average and can be used to analyze divergences in the swing points.
It has a lot of improvements and new functionalities, like:
- Histogram to show the output at best
- Averages to compare the data
- The option to include the volume inside of the formula
- Other options and esthetic changes
This indicator is created to improve the usability of the popular ADX indicator, including the very important variable of the volumes, in fact, it's the best to use for the Volume Spread Analysis. Indicator

Ichimoku Cloud and ADX with Trailing Stop Loss (by Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
DMI is simple to interpret. When +DI > - DI, it means the price is trending up. On the other hand, when -DI > +DI, the trend is weak or moving on the downside. The ADX does not give an indication of the direction but about the strength of the trend.
Typically values of ADX above 25 mean that the trend is steeply moving up or down, based on the -DI and +DI positioning. This script aims to capture swings in the DMI, and thus, in the trend of the asset, using a contrarian approach.
Trading on high values of ADX, the strategy tries to spot extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Values of ADX above 45 may suggest that the trend has overextended and is maybe about to reverse.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the ADX indicator to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from December 2022 and provides good returns.
A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance. Strategy

Directional Index Macro IndicatorWhat is This For?
The default settings for this indicator are for BINANCE:BTCUSDT and intended to be used on the 3D timeframe to identify market trends. This indicator does a great job identifying whether the market is bullish, bearish, or consolidating. This can also work well on lower time frames to help identify when a trend is strong or when it's reversing.
Directional Index Rate of Change
Core to this indicator is the rate at which DI+ and DI- are moving away or towards each other. This is called The Rate of Change (ROC). "The ROC length dictates how many bars back you want to compare to the current bar to see how much it has changed. It is calculated like this:
(source - source /source ) * 100"
The rate of change is smoothed using an EMA. A shorter EMA length will cause the ROC to flip back and forth between positive and negative while a larger EMA length will cause the ROC to change less often. Since the rate of change is used to indicate periods of 'consolidation', you want to find a setting that doesn't flip back and forth too often. Between the DI+ and DI- is a blue centerline. Offset from this centerline is a channel that is used to filter out false crosses of the DI+ and DI-. Sometimes, the DI+ and DI- lines will come together in this channel and cross momentarily before resuming the direction prior to the cross. When this happens, you don't want to flip your bias too soon. The wider the channel, the later the indicator will signal a DI reversal. A narrower channel will call it sooner but risks being more choppy and indicating a false cross.
Indicator Status Line
This indicator has 4 values in the status line (in order):
DI+
DI-
Distance between DI+ and DI-
DI Rate of Change ( how quickly are DI+ and DI- moving away or towards center )
Indicator Plots
This indicator plots DI+ (green), DI- (red), and a center channel between DI- and DI+. Across the top of the indicator, red and green triangles indicate the market trend while the background changes to show whether the price is in an impulse wave or consolidating. This makes up 4 possible scenarios:
Bullish impulse wave ( green triangle up + green background )
Bullish consolidation ( green triangle up + yellow background )
Bearish impulse wave ( red triangle down + red background )
Bearish consolidation ( red triangle down + yellow background )
Summary
Combined with support and resistance levels, volume, and your other favorite indicators, this can be a useful tool for validating that your entries are not going against the trend.
Disclaimer
This is not financial advice. Do not take trades only based on the DI+ and DI- crossing. Always use multiple indicators to validate your entries and never take a trade when you aren’t emotionally grounded. Have a plan. Stick to the plan.
The screenshot for this strategy is of a manual historical review of BTC on the 3 day chart. The indicator was built to try and mimic the chart above. You’ll see that it nails it sometimes, is a little late sometimes, and chops around between consolidation and impulse waves when it should stay in consolidation. Share your settings if you are able to improve the choppiness without sacrificing catching the reversals early. Indicator
