Indicator

Trend-cycle reversion (multi-timeframe)Trend-cycle reversion (multi-timeframe) is a mean-reversion “stretch” gauge built around a simple idea: price often deviates from its recent path (trend + dominant swing rhythm), and those deviations become more actionable when you scale them by volatility and express them as a standardized score.
This script models the last N bars as:
1) a linear trend (to capture drift), plus
2) a single dominant cycle (to capture the most prominent oscillation inside the same window).
It then measures how far current price is from the model’s next-bar projection, normalizes that distance by ATR (volatility), and finally converts the result into a rolling Z-score. The output is displayed as a multi-timeframe dashboard so you can see “stretch vs. fit” across several time compressions at once.
------------------------------------------------------------
What you see on the chart
------------------------------------------------------------
The indicator draws a table (overlay) with up to 12 rows (configurable), one per timeframe from your CSV list.
Each row shows:
• TF: The timeframe being evaluated (e.g., 1, 5, 15, 60, 240, D).
• Z: The current Z-score of the volatility-scaled model gap on that timeframe.
• State: A simple interpretation using your Z threshold:
- “Short ▼” when Z > +threshold (price is extended above the model path)
- “Long ▲” when Z < −threshold (price is extended below the model path)
- “Hold •” when inside the band (not unusually stretched)
Colors follow the same logic: red for high positive Z, green for high negative Z, gray when neutral or unavailable.
Important: “Long/Short” here describes the direction of mean-reversion pressure (over/under the fitted path), not a complete trading system by itself.
------------------------------------------------------------
How it works (plain-English math)
------------------------------------------------------------
1) Optional log transform
If “Fit on log(price)” is enabled, the model runs on log(price) instead of raw price. This is often useful for markets that behave multiplicatively (large percentage moves, long-term exponential growth), because distances become closer to “percent-like” rather than absolute dollars.
2) Trend fit (linear regression in the window)
Over the last Window Length bars, the script estimates a straight-line trend. Think of this as the baseline path that best explains the window if you ignore swings.
3) Cycle search (best period by least-squares error)
After removing the linear trend, the script searches for a single sinusoidal cycle period between:
• Min Period and Max Period (in bars), stepping by Period Step.
For each candidate period, it computes the best-fitting sine+cosine components and measures the remaining error (SSE). The period with the smallest SSE is selected as the “best” cycle for that window.
To reduce recalculation cost and to keep the chosen cycle from flapping every bar, the script re-runs this period search only every “Re-search best period every N bars”. Between searches, it keeps using the last best period.
4) Next-bar projection and “gap”
Using the fitted trend + fitted cycle, the script projects the model value one bar ahead (relative to the window indexing). It then computes:
gap = (current value) − (projected value)
If “Invert sign” is enabled, the gap is multiplied by −1. This doesn’t change magnitude, it only flips interpretation (useful if you prefer the opposite sign convention).
5) Volatility scaling via ATR
The raw gap is divided by ATR to make it comparable across symbols and regimes. If you are fitting on log(price), ATR is also computed in log space using a log-based true range, then smoothed similarly (so the scale is consistent).
This produces a “gap in ATR units”.
6) Z-score standardization
Finally, the script computes a rolling Z-score of the ATR-scaled gap over “Z-score length”:
Z = (gapATR − mean(gapATR)) / stdev(gapATR)
This is what appears in the table. The Z-score answers: “How unusual is today’s model deviation compared to the last Z-score length observations?”
------------------------------------------------------------
How to interpret the Z-score
------------------------------------------------------------
Z near 0:
Price is close to the model path relative to recent volatility (nothing unusual).
Z above +threshold:
Price is meaningfully ABOVE the fitted path (stretched up). This can be read as elevated downside mean-reversion pressure — but it can also persist during strong trends.
Z below −threshold:
Price is meaningfully BELOW the fitted path (stretched down). This can be read as elevated upside mean-reversion pressure — but it can also persist during fast selloffs.
A practical way to use this indicator is to treat it as a “context filter” or “risk tool”:
• Fading extremes: look for mean-reversion setups when Z is beyond the threshold and price action confirms (e.g., momentum stalls, structure breaks, volatility contraction/expansion cues).
• Trend-aware reversion: only take “reversion” signals in the direction permitted by your separate trend filter (higher-timeframe trend, moving average regime, market structure, etc.).
• Take-profit / risk management: in a trend-following strategy, extremes can be used as partial profit zones or as “don’t chase here” warnings.
------------------------------------------------------------
Multi-timeframe (MTF) notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Each table row is computed with request.security() on that timeframe with no lookahead, so it is not using future bars to form the value.
However, like any live indicator, the value for an actively forming bar can change until that bar closes (especially on the lower timeframes). Also, higher-timeframe rows update when that higher-timeframe bar updates/closes.
------------------------------------------------------------
Inputs (what to change first)
------------------------------------------------------------
If you only change a few settings, start here:
• Window Length:
Controls how much history the model uses. Larger = smoother/stabler, but slower to adapt.
• Min/Max Period + Step:
Controls the cycle search range and granularity.
- Wider ranges can capture more possibilities but cost more computation.
- Smaller steps can find a closer match but also cost more.
• Re-search every N bars:
Higher = faster performance and more stability; lower = more adaptive but can be noisier.
• ATR length (scale gap):
Controls the volatility scale. Shorter reacts faster to volatility changes; longer is steadier.
• Z-score length:
Controls how “rare” extremes are. Longer lengths make Z more stable, but require more history and adapt slower to regime shifts.
• Z threshold:
Defines when the table labels “Long/Short”. Common choices are 1.5–2.5 depending on how selective you want extremes to be.
• Timeframes (CSV) + Max table rows:
Controls what you see in the dashboard.
------------------------------------------------------------
Limitations and expectations
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a single-cycle, windowed model. Markets can be multi-cycle, non-sinusoidal, or structurally shifting; in those cases the “best period” is simply the best approximation inside the window, not a guarantee of a true underlying rhythm.
Z-score extremes are not automatic reversal calls. In strong trends or during volatility shocks, Z can stay extreme longer than expected. Use this as a measurement tool, then combine it with your own confirmation and risk management.

RSI Level Candles [fmb]RSI Level Candles
What it is
RSI Level Candles is a minimal, high-signal overlay that keeps your attention on price. It paints candles by RSI regime and adds tiny edge dots to highlight extreme momentum. The design goal is speed and clarity with no clutter.
Why it was built
Most RSI tools sit in a separate pane and introduce noise with extra lines, labels, and overlapping thresholds. This indicator moves the information onto price itself. You see regime directly on the candles and only the most important alerts when RSI is in extreme territory.
What it does
Candles change color according to RSI. Above the neutral high (default 60) they turn green. At the high extreme (default 70, or 80 if you prefer) they turn lime. Between 40 and 60 you may show a soft yellow neutral band or leave candles unpainted. Below the neutral low (default 40) candles turn red, and at or below the low extreme (default 30, or 20 if you prefer) they turn maroon. The indicator also prints small dots at the top and bottom of the pane to spotlight extremes. A green dot appears at the top on any bar with RSI at or above the high extreme. A red dot appears at the bottom on any bar with RSI at or below the low extreme.
How this helps
You get an instant read on momentum regime without leaving the price chart. Extremes are easy to spot which helps manage chase or exhaustion risk. The neutral band behavior helps distinguish trend days from range days and supports cleaner add or trim decisions within an existing trend.
Best practices
Treat 60 and 40 as momentum gates. Above 60 favors a long bias and additive entries on pullbacks. Below 40 favors a defensive posture on longs or a short bias. Use extremes for management rather than automatic reversal calls. In strong trends RSI can remain extreme for extended periods. Look for a change in market structure or a clear reclaim of 60 or 40 before shifting bias. Combine this overlay with simple structure and trend filters such as support and resistance, a 20 or 50 period moving average, and volume or volatility context.
Inputs
You can set RSI source and length, choose neutral low and high, and choose extreme low and high. The neutral band can be shown in soft yellow between 40 and 60 or turned off entirely. You can also toggle candle painting on or off if you only want the extreme dots.
Reading the colors
Lime indicates the extreme bullish zone. Green indicates bullish momentum. Yellow indicates the optional neutral band. Red indicates bearish momentum. Maroon indicates the extreme bearish zone. A small green dot at the top means the bar is in the high extreme. A small red dot at the bottom means the bar is in the low extreme.
Use cases
For trend following, stay aligned with the prevailing regime while avoiding overreactions to small fluctuations. For swing entries, buy pullbacks while RSI holds above 40 in uptrends, and fade bounces that stall under 60 in downtrends. For risk control, trim strength that pushes into extremes and stalls, then re-add on momentum reclaims.
Limitations
RSI measures momentum, not direction by itself. Do not use it in isolation. Extremes can persist during strong trends, so wait for structure or momentum re-tests before changing bias. Very illiquid symbols can create noisy signals.
Notes
Dots are designed to appear on every bar that sits inside the extreme zones. If you prefer single entry dots, change the logic to look for crosses rather than conditions. There is no separate RSI pane, no text labels, and no cross markers. The objective is simplicity and speed. Indicator

Stock ScreenerMissing great trade opportunities is annoying, and unless you have 12 screens or only trade one market, you are missing a lot of trades. To fix that, we created this stock screener so you get notified instantly of potential great trading conditions in real time, right on your chart.
You get notified of trading benchmarks being met by the value being displayed on the scanner as well as a color change so that it grabs your attention and makes you aware that you should take a look at the other market and look for a potential trade. It also has built in alerts so you can have an alert notification go off when any of your trading conditions are met instead of needing to watch the scanner for color changes.
The screener will change the ticker symbol background color to red green when price is above or below the previous daily range and above or below both VWAPs. This signals that the ticker is trending, which typically means it is a great time to trade that market and follow the trend.
This stock screener allows you to scan up to 10 different markets at the same time for various different conditions so you always know what is going on with your favorite trading symbols. If you want to scan more tickers, just add the indicator to your chart again and change the table position to the other side of the screen and update the tickers on the 2nd screener, allowing you to have 20 tickers at a time.
The scanner can be fully customized by changing the markets that it screens and turning on or off as many of them as you would like. You can also turn on or off any of the different data sets so that you only get information about trading conditions that matter to you.
The screener can provide data on any type of market, such as stocks, crypto, futures, forex and more. Each ticker can be adjusted to whatever market you would like it to scan for data in the settings panel, the only limitation is that it will not provide data for the VWAP and volume trend score if the ticker you are screening does not provide volume data.
Screener Features
The scanner will provide the following types of data for each ticker that is turned on:
Volume - Provides a volume score compared to the average volume and notifies you of higher than normal volume and volume spikes on individual bars by changing colors.
Volatility - Provides a volatility score compared to the average volatility and notifies you of higher than normal volatility by changing colors.
Oscillator - Choose between the RSI or CCI. The value of that oscillator will be displayed and will notify you when values are in extreme ranges such as overbought or oversold conditions according to the threshold values you enter in the settings panel. When those thresholds have been breached, you will be notified by it changing color.
Big Candles - Compares the current candle to average previous candle sizes, and changes color to notify you of big candles including a big top wick, big bottom wick, big candle body and big candle high to low range.
Daily Level Touches & Trends - Calculates and displays various daily candle and intraday open price levels that act as support and resistance. Notifies you when price is touching any of the daily levels that are turned on. The levels you can have on are as follows: previous day high, previous day low or previous day open. It also will notify you when price is touching the current day’s open, NY 930am open, Asia 8pm open, London 2am open and NY midnight 12am open. It will also say “Above” if price is above the previous day’s high or it will say “Below” if price is below the previous day’s low. The color of the cell will also change when a level touch is happening or price is above the previous day high or below the previous day low.
VWAP - Choose from 2 different VWAP lengths, default settings are daily and weekly VWAPs. You will get notified if price touches either of the VWAPs and they will also say “Above” or “Below” if price is currently above or below each VWAP.
How To Use The Screener To Help You Trade
The main purpose of the screener is to scan other markets and notify you of potential good trading opportunities such as price bouncing off of the daily levels or VWAPs. It can also be used to know when price is trending according to the VWAPs and daily levels. Lastly, you can use it to know how the volume and volatility trends are currently which gives you more confidence in taking a trade with this data when volume and volatility are present.
Volume Score
When volume is high, this represents a good time to trade because there are many market participants and price is likely to be volatile while there is high volume which can present a lot of good trade setups for you to take.
The volume score shown on the screener measures the current volume trend compared to previous volume trends and calculates that into a score based on 100 being the same as the previous volume trend. So any value above 100 means it is high volume and any value less than 100 means it is lower volume than normal.
In the settings panel, you can adjust the volume threshold that needs to be met for a volume notification to show up. The default setting is at 120, so you will get notified when the current volume trend score is 120 or higher or you can adjust that threshold value to whatever value you prefer.
It also will notify you when there is a volume spike on the current bar. This is determined by calculating an average of the recent volume totals and then checking to see if the current bar is greater than or equal to that average multiplied by 3. So if a single bar has volume that is greater than 3 times what the average volume is, then you will get a notification that says “Spike” to make you aware of that volume spike.
The volume trend threshold, volume spike multiplier and lookback length for the average volume used in volume spike calculations can all be adjusted in the settings panel to fit your desired preferences.
Volatility Score
High volatility can mean it is a great time to trade because the market is moving quickly and providing large enough movements that you can get in and out in a short amount of time, while still accruing decent sized trade PnL.
The volatility score will calculate the current volatility for each market compared to previous conditions and then divide the current volatility by the average volatility to give you a volatility score. Anything over 100 means the market is decently volatile and you should look at that market to find potential trade setups to execute on. Anything below 100 means the market is not very volatile and it is usually best to just wait until volatility returns before you start trading again.
The screener will notify you when the volatility score is above the threshold you set. The default value is set to 90, but can be adjusted to your preference. Pay attention to any market that shows an alert and take a look at that chart because the high volatility may present a good trade setup for you in the near future.
Oscillator Score
The oscillator data can be switched between Relative Strength Index(RSI) and Commodity Channel Index(CCI).
The RSI provides a value between 0 and 100 that indicates the momentum and strength of the recent price action. Many traders use the extremes of the 0-100 range to signal overbought or oversold conditions and use that as a sign to look for price to reverse in the near future. The typical values used for this and the default settings to provide notifications are: 70 for overbought and 30 for oversold. The scanner will notify you when the RSI value is considered overbought or oversold so you know to take a look at the chart and analyze if it is ready for a trade to be taken.
The CCI provides a value that can be used to determine the trend strength of the underlying asset when the oscillator moves above 100 or below -100. These extreme values are outside of the normal accumulation range and signify that price is moving strongly in that direction so it may be a good time to take a trade in the direction of the trend. The scanner will show you the value of the CCI for each market and notify you if that value is above 100 or below -100.
Both RSI and CCI settings can be adjusted in the settings panel to your desired settings so you have the exact oscillator settings you prefer to use as well as the exact values that you want to use for being notified.
Big Candles
Big candles can mean that many traders are buying or selling at the same time and many times indicate a good signal to trade in that same direction. That is why we included this calculation in the screener, so you are always aware when a large candle prints.
It calculates the average size of the recent candles and then uses that average as the benchmark to determine if the current candle is considered big and worthy of notifying you to take a look at that chart.
You can adjust the multiplier used for the big candle threshold to whatever you desire, but the default setting is 3 which means the candle will be considered big and notify you if it is 3 times as large as an average candle.
The big candles data will track the following candle values and notify you with these labels:
High to Low candle size = HL
Candle Body from open to close candle size = OC
Top Wick size = TW
Bottom Wick size = BW
Daily Level Touches & Trend
Daily level touches are excellent levels to watch for price to bounce because they often act as support and resistance levels for intraday trading. The scanner will track each market and notify you when the current candle is touching any of the daily levels that you have turned on in the settings panel.
The main levels that are turned on by default and are useful for all markets and how they will be labeled on the scanner are as follows:
Previous Day High = High
Previous Day Low = Low
Previous Day Open = < Open
Previous Day Close = Close
Current Day Open = Open
We also included some extra levels that are useful for futures traders. They are as follows:
NY 930am Open = 930am
NY 12am Midnight Open = 12am
Asia Open at 8pm NY time = Asia
London Open at 2am NY Time = London
Watch how price reacts to these levels and then trade the bounces off of these levels if the price action confirms that it is going to respect that level.
When price is currently above the previous day high, the scanner will say “Above” and show a green color, indicating a bullish trend and that price is above the previous daily candle’s high.
When price is currently below the previous day low, the scanner will say “Below” and show a red color, indicating a bearish trend and that price is below the previous daily candle’s low.
Pay attention to when price is trending above or below the previous daily candle as those trends can provide excellent trend trading opportunities.
The daily levels that you have turned on in the settings will also show as lines on the chart and include a label next to them, identifying each level so you know what each line represents. You can turn on or off all of the lines shown on the chart in the main settings or turn them off one by one in the style panel of the settings. Labels can also be turned on or off for all of the lines in the main settings panel. You can adjust the label positioning in the Label Offset section of the settings panel.
VWAP Touches & Trend
VWAP stands for volume weighted average price and is a very popular tool that traders use to determine trend direction based on volume as well as an excellent level to trade price bounces off of.
The typical VWAP time period used is Daily, which means the volume weighted average price will reset at the beginning of a new day. We set the first VWAP to be the daily VWAP by default and the second one to be the weekly VWAP. You can adjust both of the time periods to be any of the provided time lengths that you choose.
The screener will show “Above” with a green background color when price is above the VWAP, indicating a bullish trend. It will show “Below” with a red background color when price is below the VWAP, indicating a bearish trend. When both VWAPs are showing Above or Below, you can expect price to trend in that direction, so look for pullbacks you can trade in the direction of the trend. If the VWAPs are showing different directions, then you should expect to bounce back and forth between the VWAPs, but be careful and watch out for price to break beyond either one and start a trend.
When the current candle is touching the VWAP, the scanner will change colors and say VWAP to notify you that price is touching the VWAP and you should look at that chart and analyze the market for a potential bounce off of the VWAP to trade.
Trending Market Signals
Strong trends are excellent markets to trade and can many times provide excellent trading opportunities that don’t require expert price action reading skills to be able to take winning trades from. That is why we included a signal to notify you of a strong trending market.
The strong trending market will show up as a green or red background color for the ticker name. If the color of the ticker name is green, it is notifying you that the price is above the previous daily high, above VWAP 1 and above VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bullish trend trades. If the color of the ticker name is red, it is notifying you that the price is below the previous daily low, below VWAP 1 and below VWAP 2 and is a good market to look for bearish trend trades.
Changing The Tickers It Scans
To change the tickers that the indicator scans, scroll near the bottom of the settings panel and select the ticker symbol you want to update and then search for the exact symbol you want to use. If you want to scan less tickers, then just turn some of the tickers off that you don’t need.
Scanning More Than 10 Tickers
If you want to scan more than 10 tickers, you can add the scanner to your chart again and then just change the table position to the other side of the screen. This will allow you to scan 10 more tickers that will show up separately. Then if you want even more, just add the indicator to your chart again and update the table position until you have as many markets as you want. The table position setting can be found at the bottom of the main settings panel.
Alerts
The screener has alerts that can be used to notify you when any of the data set thresholds have been met or if price is touching one of the levels. You can set alerts for the following events:
Bullish Trend Alert - Price is above the previous daily high and above both VWAPs.
Bearish Trend Alert - Price is below the previous daily low and below both VWAPs.
High Volume Alert - Volume is higher than the threshold or a volume spike is detected.
High Volatility Alert - Volatility is higher than the threshold.
Oscillator Is Extended Alert - Oscillator value has exceeded the upper or lower threshold.
Big Candle Alert - A big candle has been detected.
Daily Level Touch Alert - One of the daily levels that is turned on is being touched.
VWAP Touch Alert - One of the 2 VWAPs are being touched.
An alert will trigger when any one of tickers on your scanner meets the alert conditions, so when you see the alert, you will need to go to your chart and look at the scanner to see which ticker it was and then navigate to that chart to look for potential trade setups.
The alerts will use the exact same settings you have configured in the settings panel to send you alert notifications. With normal settings, this could give you a lot of alerts, so if you only want alerts to fire when abnormal conditions are being met, try setting up a second screener on your chart that has very high threshold values and only has the most important level touches on. Then turn the setting "Do Not Show The Screener On The Chart" to off so the calculations will still run and fire alerts, but won't clog up your charts. This way you can only get alert notifications when major events happen but still have your normal screener settings available on your chart.
Markets This Can Be Used On
This screener uses the price action and volume data so you can use it to scan any type of market you would like as long as the ticker you are scanning has price and volume data feeds. If a market does not have volume data, then it will just show NaN in the volume row and the VWAP rows will not show anything. Indicator

MACD-V (Volatility Normalized MACD)Award-Winning Momentum Indicator by Alex Spiroglou (CMT Charles Dao Award & NAAIM Founders Award, 2022)
The classic MACD has powered trading decisions for decades, but it suffers from five major limitations that undermine consistency:
1- Readings are not comparable over time (absolute price dependency causes massive scale differences across decades)
2- Not comparable across markets or assets (e.g., stocks vs. forex vs. crypto)
3- No universal overbought/oversold levels
4- Excessive whipsaws in low-momentum/range-bound conditions
5- Lagging signals in high-momentum reversals (e.g., missing big chunks of V-shaped recoveries)
MACD-V solves all five issues by normalizing momentum against volatility instead of price.
Core Formula
MACD-V = (EMA(12) - EMA(26)) / ATR(26) × 100
This expresses momentum in units of Average True Range (ATR), creating a volatility-adjusted oscillator that remains mathematically meaningful and comparable:
-Analysts can use MACD-V across any timeframe:
-Across any asset class (stocks, forex, commodities, bonds, crypto)
-Over decades of history
Key Features & Benefits
Time-stable & cross-market comparable: A +100 reading today has the same meaning as +100 in the past years, regardless of asset or price level.
Universal extremes: ±150 captures ~95% of all readings across markets → extreme/stretched momentum.
Momentum Lifecycle Roadmap (objective framework):
+150 or < -150: Extreme / overstretched (high reversal risk)
+50 to +150 or -50 to -150: Strong directional momentum (rallying, retracing, rebounding, reversing)
-50 to +50: Neutral / low momentum / ranging (avoid most signals — high whipsaw zone)
Range Rules for regime context: In bullish regimes (price > 200 EMA), -50 to -150 becomes the practical oversold zone; readings below -100 are rare and often powerful buy setups. Opposite in bearish regimes.
Improved signal quality: Filter whipsaws in neutral zone, anticipate lag in extremes, prioritize high-probability crosses in strong-momentum bands.
MACD-V Histogram (MACD-VH): Normalized short-term momentum with extremes at ±40 for fast reversal detection.
Backtesting & strategy-friendly: Enables reliable historical analysis, cross-asset relative strength, and systematic rules
MACD-V transforms momentum from subjective art into objective, repeatable science — giving you consistent, actionable insights no matter what you're trading.
Use it standalone or layer with trend filters (e.g., 200 EMA), volume, or price action for even stronger edges.

Mean Reversion [SIMI]This mean reversion indicator identifies extreme price deviations from the mean, providing high-probability reversal signals. Designed for confluence-based trading, it works best when combined with complementary indicators such as VWAP, price action, and volume analysis.
📊 Core Features
Signal Types
Prime Signals (Bright Green/Red Dots): Extreme reversions usually beyond ±1.5 SD - highest probability setups (you can customise this zone!)
Regular Signals (Dark Green/Red Dots): Standard reversions - moderate probability
Leader Line (Pink Dotted): Early warning indicator for potential reversals
Histogram Weakness: Momentum divergence signals
Normalisation Methods:
Institutional Hybrid (Z-ATR) (Recommended): Volatility-adjusted Z-score - adapts to changing market conditions
Percentile Ranking: Statistical ranking - excellent for ranging markets
PPO + ATR Hybrid: Percentage-based with volatility adjustment
Efficiency Ratio: Trend-strength weighted
ATR: Pure volatility-based
None: Raw Z-score
⚙️ Quick Setup Guide
1. Institutional Presets
Pre-configured parameter sets optimised for different timeframes:
5M Day Trading (5/21/5): Intraday scalping
1H Options Trading (6/24/5): Options-focused setups
1D Monthly Cycle (5/20/5): Swing trading
2. Signal Filtering
Prime Thresholds: Adjust ±1.5 SD to control signal quality (tighter = fewer, higher quality, adjust this zone per asset traded)
Dot Filters: Fine-tune entry zones (-0.03/+0.03 default - this ignores noisy signals near Zero line)
Volume Filter: Enable to require volume confirmation (1.4x average recommended, but fine tune yourself)
3. Advanced Filters
Dynamic SD Thresholds: Auto-adjusts for volatility regimes (tighter in low vol, wider in high vol)
Time of Day Filter: Avoids first 30 minutes, last 15 minutes, and lunch hour (11:30-13:00 EST)
💡 Trading Strategy Recommendations
Optimal Usage
This indicator is not intended as a standalone system. Use it for confluence alongside:
VWAP (institutional positioning)
Price action (support/resistance)
Options flow (institutional direction)
Volume analysis (conviction confirmation)
Signal Interpretation
Prime Signals: Wait for these for highest-probability entries - mean reversion may take hours to days
Manual Entries: Don't wait for dots - trade the ±2 SD zones directly using your own confirmation
Options Strategy: Prime sell signals at +2 SD make excellent short call setups; prime buy signals at -2 SD for long calls
Timeframe Guidance
Lower Timeframes (1M-5M): Higher noise - require additional confluence
Higher Timeframes (1H-1D): More reliable signals - suitable for options and swing trades
Best Results: Multi-timeframe analysis (check 1H and 4H alignment on 5M entries)
🔔 Alert System
Master Alert
Enable customisable alerts via the Master Alert System:
Toggle individual signal types (Prime Buy/Sell, SD Crosses, Leader, Histogram)
Receives bespoke messages with ticker, timeframe, and price
One alert condition handles all selected signals
Individual Alerts
Separate alert conditions available for Prime and Regular signals if preferred.
📈 Backtesting Notes
Important: Backtest results are date-sensitive and should not be the primary focus. Instead:
Dial in settings visually on your chosen asset
Aim for signals near actual tops and bottoms
Test different normalisation methods for your specific instrument
Optimise for signal quality, not backtest ROI
Asset Testing: Primarily developed using SPY, QQQ, and IWM as main assets to trade. Other instruments may require parameter adjustment - mess around!
Backtest Engine
Entry/Exit modes (All Signals, Prime Only, Early Signals)
Position sizing (percentage-based)
Slippage and fill method (candle close recommended)
Date range selection
⚠️ Best Practices
Always use confluence - never trade on MR signals alone
Start with Institutional Hybrid normalisation - most adaptive to market conditions
Focus on Prime signals for quality over quantity
Test on your specific asset - optimal settings vary by instrument
Longer timeframes = higher reliability - 1H+ for best results
Enable Time Filter on intraday charts to avoid volatile periods
Use Dynamic SD in highly volatile markets (earnings, FOMC, etc.)
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Too many signals: Increase Prime Thresholds or enable Volume Filter
Too few signals: Decrease Prime Thresholds or reduce Dot Filters
False signals: Enable Time of Day Filter and Dynamic SD
Signals don't align with tops/bottoms: Try different normalisation method

Pro RSI Mean-Deviation Sigmoid Oscillator (Z-Score Normalized)# Pro RSI Mean-Deviation Sigmoid Oscillator (Z-Score Normalized)
## 🧮 Core Mathematical Concept
**The Key Formula**: This indicator subtracts RSI's own EMA from the RSI value, divides the result by its standard deviation to create a Z-score, then applies sigmoid normalization to map it into a 0-1 range (displayed as 0-100).
**In Simple Terms**:
```
Z-Score = (RSI - RSI_EMA) / Standard_Deviation
Sigmoid = 1 / (1 + e^(-k × Z-Score))
Final Output = Sigmoid × 100
```
This mathematical approach transforms raw RSI momentum into a statistically normalized oscillator that better identifies genuine trend changes while filtering out noise.

## 📊 What This Indicator Does
This advanced momentum oscillator combines RSI analysis with statistical normalization to identify overbought/oversold conditions and momentum shifts with greater precision than traditional RSI alone.
**Core Innovation**: Uses Z-score normalization and sigmoid transformation to convert RSI deviations into a smooth 0-100 scale, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity to genuine market movements.
---
## 🔧 How It Works
### 1. **RSI Foundation**
- Calculates standard RSI over your chosen period (default: 14)
- Applies an EMA smoothing line to identify the RSI trend
### 2. **Statistical Normalization**
- Measures deviation between RSI and its EMA
- Calculates Z-score (standard deviations from mean)
- Normalizes extreme values while preserving relative strength
### 3. **Sigmoid Transformation**
- Maps Z-scores to a 0-100 scale using sigmoid function
- Creates smooth transitions between bullish/bearish zones
- Reduces false signals from RSI whipsaws
### 4. **RSI Bollinger Bands**
- Adds dynamic overbought/oversold bands around RSI
- Adapts to market volatility automatically
- Confirms extreme conditions when RSI breaches bands
### 5. **Momentum Histogram**
- Visualizes rate of change in normalized momentum
- Green bars = strengthening bullish momentum
- Red bars = strengthening bearish momentum
---
## 📈 How to Use
### **Primary Signals**
**Sigmoid Oscillator (Thick Line)**
- **Above 50** = Bullish momentum dominant
- **Below 50** = Bearish momentum dominant
- **Crossing 50** = Potential trend change
**Extreme Zones**
- **Above 70** = Overbought (green background) - Consider taking profits or preparing for reversal
- **Below 30** = Oversold (red background) - Watch for potential bounce or reversal
### **Confirmation Signals**
**RSI Bollinger Band Breaches** (Purple background)
- RSI above upper band = Extremely overbought
- RSI below lower band = Extremely oversold
- Strong confirmation when paired with sigmoid extremes
**RSI vs RSI EMA Crossovers**
- Purple line (RSI) crossing above orange line (EMA) = Early bullish signal
- Purple line crossing below orange line = Early bearish signal
**Momentum Histogram**
- Growing green bars = Accelerating bullish momentum
- Growing red bars = Accelerating bearish momentum
- Shrinking bars = Momentum weakening (potential reversal warning)
---
## ⚙️ Parameter Settings
### **RSI Period** (Default: 14)
- Lower (7-10) = More responsive, more signals
- Higher (20-30) = Smoother, fewer false signals
- Recommended: Keep at 14 for most timeframes
### **RSI EMA Period** (Default: 14)
- Controls smoothness of RSI trend line
- Match to RSI period for standard behavior
- Increase for longer-term trend identification
### **Standard Deviation Period** (Default: 20)
- Lookback window for Z-score calculation
- Lower = More sensitive to recent changes
- Higher = More stable, slower to react
### **Sigmoid Sensitivity (k)** (Default: 1.0)
- **0.5-0.8** = Smoother, less extreme readings
- **1.0-1.5** = Balanced sensitivity
- **2.0+** = More aggressive, reaches extremes faster
- Adjust based on asset volatility
### **Bollinger Band Multiplier** (Default: 2.0)
- Standard deviation multiplier for RSI bands
- **1.5** = Tighter bands, more frequent signals
- **2.5-3.0** = Wider bands, only extreme moves

## 💡 Trading Strategies
### **Strategy 1: Momentum Continuation**
1. Wait for sigmoid to break and hold above 70 (bullish) or below 30 (bearish)
2. Confirm with growing momentum histogram in same direction
3. Enter in direction of momentum when RSI breaks Bollinger bands
4. Ride the trend until sigmoid crosses back through 50 or momentum histogram shrinks
5. This indicator excels at catching strong, sustainable momentum moves
### **Strategy 2: Momentum Breakout**
1. Identify sigmoid consolidation near 50
2. Watch for strong break above 70 or below 30
3. Confirm with growing momentum histogram
4. Enter in direction of break, exit when momentum weakens
### **Strategy 3: Divergence Detection**
1. Compare price action to sigmoid oscillator
2. Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, sigmoid makes higher low
3. Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, sigmoid makes lower high
4. Enter when sigmoid confirms with 50-line cross
### **Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Confluence**
1. Use on higher timeframe (4H/Daily) for trend direction
2. Use on lower timeframe (15M/1H) for entry timing
3. Only take trades when both timeframes align
4. Increases win rate significantly

## ⚠️ What to Watch For
### **Best Conditions**
- ✅ Trending markets with clear momentum
- ✅ Assets with decent volatility (not too choppy)
- ✅ When multiple signals align (sigmoid + bands + histogram)
- ✅ Confirmed with price action or volume
### **Difficult Conditions**
- ❌ Sideways, choppy markets (generates false signals)
- ❌ Low volatility periods (sigmoid may not reach extremes)
- ❌ Major news events (can cause extreme whipsaws)
- ❌ Very low timeframes (<5min) - too much noise
### **Common Pitfalls**
- Don't trade sigmoid extremes blindly - wait for reversal confirmation
- Don't ignore the momentum histogram - it shows strength of moves
- Don't use in isolation - combine with support/resistance, volume, etc.
- Don't over-optimize parameters - default settings work well for most assets

GCM Kinetic Flux SpectrumTitle: GCM Kinetic Flux Spectrum
DESCRIPTION
The GCM Kinetic Flux Spectrum is an institutional-grade hybrid momentum and volume engine. Unlike standard oscillators that rely on closing prices, the GCM KFS synthesizes dual-source RSI volatility with Volume Flow Intensity (VFI) to reveal the hidden kinetic energy of market movements.
By projecting a 27-layer "Spectrum Ribbon" and a multi-dimensional Divergence Engine, the GCM KFS identifies not just where the price is heading, but the quality and "fuel" behind the trend.
CORE ARCHITECTURE
1) The Kinetic Mean (Dual-Source RSI)
Standard RSI often ignores the battle occurring at the wicks. The GCM KFS calculates independent RSI streams for Highs and Lows, then anchors them to a Zero-Centered baseline (-50 to +50). The resulting Kinetic Mean filters out retail noise, providing a volatility-adjusted perspective on momentum.
2) Volume Flux Integration (VFI)
Volume precedes price. The GCM KFS integrates a highly responsive, EMA-smoothed Volume Flow Indicator (VFI). By syncing VFI length with the RSI cycle, the indicator cross-verifies price strength with capital flow.
• Momentum + Positive Flux: Confirms high-conviction trends.
• Momentum + Negative Flux: Reveals "Empty" breakouts or institutional distribution.
3) 27-Layer Spectrum Ribbon
The gradient fill isn't just aesthetic—it represents Volatility Density.
• Expansion: When ribbons fan out, it signals a high-velocity trend.
• Compression (The Squeeze): When ribbons pinch toward the Kinetic Mean, it signals a volatility contraction, typically the precursor to an explosive breakout.
4) Four-Way Divergence Engine
The KFS automatically detects and projects four types of divergence on both the indicator pane and the main price chart:
• Regular Bullish/Bearish: Identifying high-probability trend reversals.
• Hidden Bullish/Bearish: Identifying trend continuation (Smart Money re-entry points).
KEY POWER FEATURES
• Zero-Centered Logic: Levels are shifted for better visual balance. (OB: +20, Extreme OB: +30 | OS: -20, Extreme OS: -30).
• Dynamic Zones: Subtle background fills highlight "Extreme" areas where price is statistically likely to mean-revert.
• Main Chart Projection: Use the force_overlay feature to keep your eyes on price action while the indicator confirms entries.
• Institutional Dotted VFI: The orange dotted line acts as the "Anchor"—if price rises but the VFI Anchor stays below zero, the move lacks professional backing.
HOW TO TRADE WITH GCM-KFS
• The Reversal Sniper: Look for an R-BULL or R-BEAR label appearing inside the Extreme Zone (±30). This indicates momentum exhaustion backed by a volume shift.
• Trend Riding: During an uptrend, look for H-BULL (Hidden Bullish) labels. This signals that institutions are "buying the dip" while momentum resets.
• Volatility Breakouts: When the Spectrum Ribbon enters a tight "squeeze" near the Zero Line, prepare for a major move. Follow the direction of the first ribbon expansion.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
• Scalping (1m - 5m): Length 7 - 9
• Day Trading (15m - 1H): Length 10 - 14
• Swing Trading (4H - Daily): Length 20+
AUTHOR’S NOTE
This script is part of the GCM suite of professional tools. It is designed to be a "confluence engine"—it works best when used to confirm price action levels, supply/demand zones, or order blocks. Always trade with a plan and managed risk.
