APB Pair Trade Direct - Cointegration🔰 APB PRO - Cointegration Pair Trading (Fool-Proof)
📌 What is this?
APB stands for "A Prueba de Bolu2" (Spanish for "Fool-Proof" - with all due respect 😉).
This is a professional Pair Trading indicator that does all the heavy lifting for you. It automatically calculates cointegration, correlation, and provides crystal clear BUY and SELL signals directly on your chart.
You don't need to be a mathematician, a statistician, or a coding expert. Just look at the arrows and the background color. The indicator does the rest.
🎯 How Does It Work?
The indicator analyzes the spread of the pair you have open on your chart (e.g., BTC/ETH, SOL/ETH, LINK/BTC, etc.) and calculates:
Historical Mean → Where the pair should normally trade.
Standard Deviations → When the pair is extremely cheap or expensive.
Real-time Cointegration → Whether the pair is behaving stably or erratically.
When the spread moves too far from its mean, the indicator alerts you with a clear arrow signal.
🟢🔴 SIGNALS (Fool-Proof)
Signal Interpretation Recommended Action
🟢 GREEN arrow pointing UP with "BUY" The pair is at the FLOOR (cheap). Spread hit the lower limit. BUY the pair (expecting mean reversion up)
🔴 RED arrow pointing DOWN with "SELL" The pair is at the CEILING (expensive). Spread hit the upper limit. SELL the pair (expecting mean reversion down)
🟩 GREEN background ✅ Cointegration ACTIVE. The pair is stable. SAFE TO TRADE (signals are valid)
🟥 RED background ❌ Cointegration INACTIVE. The pair is erratic or trending. BETTER TO WAIT (indicator will NOT give signals)

💡 Pro Tips for Best Results
1. Only Trade When Background is GREEN
If the background is red, the indicator won't give signals. This is a protection mechanism. Don't force trades when cointegration is broken.
2. Don't Trade Every Signal
Wait for the arrow to appear on a green background with decent volume. The best setups are when the spread touches the limit and the market is calm.
3. Use the Right Timeframe
Timeframe Best For
1h - 4h Swing trading (days to weeks)
15m - 30m Day trading (hours)
1m - 5m ❌ Too much noise. Avoid.
4. Adjust Sensitivity Per Pair
Pair Recommended Sensitivity
BTC/ETH 2.0 (perfect)
SOL/ETH 2.2 - 2.5 (avoid false signals)
LINK/BTC 2.0 - 2.2
Volatile pairs 2.5+ (more selective)
5. Watch the Slope
If you see the slope spiking (far from 0), it means the pair is in a strong trend and cointegration is breaking. Wait for it to stabilize before trading.
🧠 How Is It Calculated? (For the Curious)
Normalization → Price is divided by its moving average to put it on a percentage scale.
Spread → The percentage deviation of the price from its mean.
Limits → Mean ± (Sensitivity × Standard Deviation).
Cointegration → Measured by the spread's slope over a short period. If the slope is close to 0, the pair is stable.
Signals → Triggered when the spread crosses the limits AND cointegration is active.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this on stocks or forex?
A: Technically yes, but it's optimized for cryptocurrencies due to their higher volatility and correlation patterns.
Q: Why are there no signals even when the spread hits the limits?
A: Because the cointegration filter is active and the pair isn't stable. This is a safety feature to protect you from false signals.
Q: What does "Slope" mean in the panel?
A: It measures the speed of the spread movement. Close to 0 = stable (cointegrated). Far from 0 = trending (cointegration broken).
Q: Can I disable the cointegration filter?
A: Yes, set "Activate Cointegration Filter" to false in the advanced parameters. But I don't recommend it unless you're an experienced trader.
Q: Why is the background red/ green?
A:
🟩 GREEN = Cointegration ACTIVE → Valid signals.
🟥 RED = Cointegration INACTIVE → No signals (wait).

Uptrick: Dynamic Trend MatrixOverview
Dynamic Trend Matrix is an open-source trend-following overlay designed to help traders read market direction, trend strength, pullback areas, and optional take-profit progress from one chart-based tool. It is built to provide a structured view of trend conditions without relying on a single crossover or one isolated signal.
Introduction
The script combines EMA-based trend structure, ATR-based volatility bands, a dynamic trailing engine, candle coloring, signal labels, X-marker re-entry logic, take-profit markers, alerts, and a compact dashboard. Its goal is to make trend conditions easier to interpret by separating the main trend state, pressure confirmation, pullback behavior, and target tracking into clear visual components.
Originality & Uniqueness
Dynamic Trend Matrix uses a custom trend state model that blends moving-average alignment, smoothed slope pressure, ATR volatility boundaries, adaptive trailing logic, visual strength coloring, and staged take-profit tracking.
Instead of only showing a basic moving average crossover or a simple band break, the script organizes trend information into multiple layers. The trend flip logic identifies directional changes, the pressure filter evaluates whether EMA structure supports the active side, the trail helps show the active trend boundary, and the X markers highlight pullback interactions near the trend trail.
This layered design allows users to view both trend direction and trend quality, while keeping the chart visually organized.
How It Works
The script calculates fast, base, and slow EMA trend components from the selected source. These moving averages are used to measure directional structure and help determine whether the market is showing bullish, bearish, or mixed pressure.
ATR-based bands are then built around the base trend. A long trend state is triggered when price breaks above the upper ATR band, while a short trend state is triggered when price breaks below the lower ATR band. Once a trend state is active, the script maintains a dynamic trailing level that adjusts with volatility and trend direction.
Trend pressure is confirmed when the EMA structure and smoothed slope agree with the active trend. Trend strength is calculated by comparing the distance between the fast and slow trend components against ATR. This strength reading is used for dashboard values and optional candle coloring.
The take-profit system uses the active signal price and either risk from the trail or ATR from entry to create up to three visual target levels. These levels are for chart reference only and are not automated trade management.
Inputs
The main settings allow users to adjust the trend lengths, smoothing, ATR length, ATR multiplier, visual style, candle coloring method, signal confirmation, label appearance, X-marker behavior, take-profit calculation mode, dashboard position, and alert options.
The default settings are intended to provide a balanced trend-following view, but users should adjust them based on the market, timeframe, and volatility conditions they are studying.
Features
Dynamic trend flip detection using ATR-adjusted band breaks.
EMA-based trend structure using fast, base, and slow trend components.
Smoothed slope pressure filter to help distinguish stronger trend alignment from mixed conditions.
Adaptive trail that follows the active trend and adjusts with volatility.
Multiple visual modes, including bands, trend trail, and candles only.
Candle coloring based on either latest trend direction or trend strength.
Optional gradient visuals to make active trend zones easier to read.
Optional outer bands for additional volatility context.
Long and short signal labels with optional bar-close confirmation.
X-marker re-entry logic for pullback touches near the dynamic trail.
Configurable X-marker behavior, including first valid marker only or every valid marker.
Optional take-profit markers with one, two, or three target levels.
Take-profit calculations based on either risk from trail or ATR from entry.
Dashboard showing trend state, pressure, strength, trail value, visual mode, and TP state.
Alert conditions for long signals, short signals, X markers, and take-profit hits.
How To Use
Add the indicator to a standard candlestick chart and select the visual mode that best fits your workflow. The Bands mode provides a broader view of volatility zones around the trend basis. The Trend Trail mode focuses more directly on the active trailing level. Candles Only mode keeps the chart cleaner while still showing trend-based candle colors.
Long and short labels can be used as potential trend-change signals. The trail can be used as a visual reference for the active trend boundary. X markers are designed to show valid pullback interactions near the trail after a trend has already been established.
The dashboard provides a quick summary of current conditions, including trend state, pressure, strength, trail value, visual mode, and TP progress. Users who prefer confirmed signals can keep bar-close confirmation enabled. Users who want faster realtime feedback can disable confirmation, but signals may be less stable before the candle closes.
Limitations
This indicator is not a complete trading system and does not guarantee profitable results. It does not include position sizing, stop-loss execution, order management, commissions, slippage, or full strategy backtesting.
Signals may appear late during fast reversals because the model uses EMAs, smoothing, ATR bands, and trend confirmation. Sideways, choppy, or low-volatility markets may produce false flips, mixed pressure readings, or less useful pullback markers.
Take-profit markers are visual reference levels only. They do not guarantee that a trade should be entered, held, exited, or managed in a specific way. Users should test settings across different symbols, sessions, and timeframes before relying on the script for live decision-making.
The script does not use request.security(), lookahead, or negative plot offsets. With bar-close confirmation enabled, Long, Short, X-marker, and TP signals are confirmed after the candle closes. If confirmation is disabled, realtime signals may appear or change before the candle closes. The script should be used on standard chart types because non-standard charts can affect signal behavior.
Conclusion
Dynamic Trend Matrix is designed to provide a clean visual framework for reading trend direction, trend pressure, pullback context, and staged target progress. It can help organize trend-following analysis, but it should be used alongside market structure, risk management, and broader chart context.

Enhanced Alligator Trend Indicator By Er. Parvez HaleemPurpose: The Enhanced Alligator Trend Indicator aims to identify strong and reliable buy and sell signals on the price chart by combining the Alligator Indicator with trend strength and volume filters. It is specifically designed for use on a 1-minute chart to enhance precision in short-term trading decisions.
Components:
Alligator Indicator:
Jaw Line (Blue): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a specified period (default: 13 bars). Represents the long-term trend.
Teeth Line (Red): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over a shorter period (default: 8 bars). Represents the medium-term trend.
Lips Line (Green): Calculated as a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing price over an even shorter period (default: 5 bars). Represents the short-term trend.
Trend Strength Indicator:
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures the strength of the current trend, using a default period of 14 bars. RSI values above 50 suggest a bullish trend, while values below 50 suggest a bearish trend.
Volume Filter:
Volume Threshold: Filters signals based on trading volume to ensure they only appear when volume exceeds a specified threshold (default: 100,000). This helps to avoid low-volume noise and enhance signal reliability.
Additional Trend Filters:
Short-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 20 bars, used to assess short-term trend direction.
Long-Term SMA: A simple moving average with a default period of 50 bars, used to assess long-term trend direction.
SMA Crossover: A bullish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA, and a bearish crossover occurs when the short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Generated when:
The Lips line is above the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is above the Jaw line (indicating a bullish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is above 50 (indicating strong bullish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is above the long-term SMA (confirming a bullish trend).
Sell Signal: Generated when:
The Lips line is below the Teeth line, and the Teeth line is below the Jaw line (indicating a bearish alignment in the Alligator Indicator).
The RSI is below 50 (indicating strong bearish trend strength).
The trading volume exceeds the specified volume threshold (indicating sufficient trading activity).
The short-term SMA is below the long-term SMA (confirming a bearish trend).
Plotting on Chart:
Alligator Lines: The Jaw, Teeth, and Lips lines are plotted directly on the price chart in blue, red, and green, respectively, to indicate the long-term, medium-term, and short-term trends.
Buy/Sell Signals: Buy signals are plotted below the price bars in green, and sell signals are plotted above the price bars in red. These signals are marked with labels ("BUY" and "SELL") to clearly indicate trading opportunities.
Debugging: RSI and SMA lines are plotted but hidden by default. They can be revealed for verification purposes to ensure the correctness of the indicator’s calculations.
Alerts:
Buy Alert: Triggers when a buy signal condition is met, sending a notification that a buy opportunity has been identified.
Sell Alert: Triggers when a sell signal condition is met, sending a notification that a sell opportunity has been identified. Indicator

Nightrangers IndicatorDescription
This indicator combines three EMA's, Ichimoku Cloud, RSI and MACD. By combining and modifying their use case this turns into an extremely powerful and accessible indicator for finding long and short position entries, below is a description of how to use this indicator, and what makes it different.
Primary Use case
The three EMA's would be the initial indicators you would be looking at, they are based on the 7d, 25d and 200d MA - Used on their own, they would be worthless, and this is where the Ichimoku Cloud comes into it, I have removed all other aspects of the Ichimoku Cloud and only kept the baseline, combine this with the three MA's and we have a very powerful indicator for finding Long entries, that is used uniquely in a way to which the Ichimoku Cloud is not originally meant to be used for.
An early indication of a LONG entry would be when the 7d MA crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, through this early indicator, you are able to watch and monitor the chart, you would be waiting to see if the 25d MA then also crosses above the Ichimoku Baseline, This would be the second important indication of a long entry. The 200d MA helps here when making decisions on where to set your own personal take profits - If the Ichimoku baseline, and the MA's are below the 200d MA, you would be expecting a bounce point here, or heavy resistance so the long entry could be over a shorter period, than that if it was above the 200d MA, which is why it is included here, to help make a better informed choice.
The latter is reversed for finding short positions, and entries. This indicator is completely reliant on each other to find the best possible entry/exit by complementing each other, and by using the Ichimoku Baseline on it's own, and not as the Ichimoku Cloud is intended.
Just using these though, is not enough, which is why the RSI and MACD are also combined, once the conditions are met above, You may find that there can be false positives for entries, and this is where the RSI has multiple use cases within this script.
Firstly the backdrop colour will change based on whether the chart is in an uptrend or downtrend, This is a visual indicator provided to work simultaneaously on the chart itself to help identification of entries/exits easier to identify in conjunction with the above.
Secondly, It is used to display in the top right, The current Trend in a text format, as well as if the current chart is in one of three phases, these are Overbrought, Oversold and accumulation.
And finally it will display the current RSI Value on the last candle in a clear to see blue Label, This helps with the visual accessible side, to help you make a more informed choice depending on your own personal tolerance.
This ties into the above Indicators, by combining the information, you would not be looking to take a long, if for example, the RSI showed it was over-brought, and in a downtrend, even if the MA's had crossed above the Baseline, as this would most likely be a fakeout.
However if the Indicators above, showed a potential long, and the backdrop had flipped green, indicating an uptrend, and it was in an accumulation phase, you would consider this position. and this is where the MACD comes into play.
You would use the MACD to see whether or not the Signal line has crossed over the MACD line, and vice versa - However this script uses it to simplify and portray current market sentiment, and visually display by reducing clutter on screen, and making it more accessible.
It is designed to portray an easy to read and understand visual indicator by displaying in the top right simply as Bullish or Bearish, with markers above the candles ( "M" and "MX" ).
The M indicator is to show where the MACD Crosses above the Signal, and if aligned with all the other indicators within the script, shows a very strong confirmation for a buying opportunity, and vice versa for the "MX" indicator if aligned with the other indicators in reverse, provides a very strong confirmation for opening a short position or for selling.
Secondary Use case
By combining the indicators above, the secondary conditions you would be looking for, If you opened a LONG position, would be knowing when to sell, On top of what has been described above already regarding this, you would be looking to start taking profits, when the 7d MA crosses above or across the candles, and looking to close the position, when the 25d MA also crosses above the candles, and respectively, in reverse for closing short positions. This is shown across the charts to be extremely useful, however, combine this with the other indicators, portrayed in an easy to use and understand visual representation, you are now able to make more informed decisions, on whether to close a position or not.
How is it different and not just a mash up
I have combined these indicators to make the world of trading more accessible for everyone regardless of circumstances, by creating an easy to understand visual representation, keeping colours vibrant and easy to stand out, with clear and simple to read text indications. So whether you are a seasoned trader, or just starting out, you can make more informed choices, without the need of learning how to use multiple different indicators, and learning how to combine them all, or if you have difficulties learning, this indicator also simplifies a lot of the more technical intricacies, by still allowing you to make a more informed choice.

Library
Easy TrendThis signal is completely based on analysis and transformation of a single simple moving average. As with all signals and indicators, it should be combined with others.
This is how the signal is built:
1. First it takes the SMA of the closing price.
2. It then takes the ROC of that SMA using a length of 1.
3. It takes an 8-period SMA and also a 64-period SMA of that ROC.
4. These are plotted as follows:
- the ROC is plotted in green when above 0 (trending up) and red when below 0 (trending down).
- the 8-period SMA is plotted as a thin white line within the ROC signal
- the 64-period SMA is plotted as a thick white line within the ROC signal
When the trendline is green, this is a bullish zone. When the trendline is red, this is a bearish zone.
Moving averages (all types of moving averages) are inherently lagging signals. To compensate for that, I am offsetting each SMA series by half of its period. This may be confusing to some, but the end result is a mathematically accurate SMA signal, centered on the signal that it is providing the moving average of. It doesn't stop the lag, but it directly and obviously shows how lagged each signal is, which I personally find better to trade against.
Symbols on the top and bottom of indicator:
Yellow triangle at bottom of indicator shows where a downward trend is starting to bottom out and a buy/long opening may be available soon.
Green triangle at bottom of indicator shows that a downward trend has switched to an upward trend. This indicates a good time to buy.
Yellow triangle at top of indicator shows where an upward trend is starting to plateau and a sell/short opening may be available soon.
Red triangle at top of indicator shows that an upward trend has switched to a downward trend. This indicates a good time to sell.
Note: You may see multiple yellow triangles before seeing a green or red triangle. This can happen when multiple trend accelerations or decelerations occur within an overall green or red zone.
In addition there is a dotted line connecting the end of the 64-period SMA to the end of the 8-period SMA. This indicates the direction the trend is moving towards. When the dotted line crosses the zero line, this portrays a rough estimate of where the trend may switch from a downtrend to an uptrend or vice versa. This is the "best" time to buy or sell, depending on your strategy.
I recommend placing a SMA on your candles set to the same window size as this indicator, and also to offset that SMA to the left by half its window size. For example, a 90-period SMA should be offset by -45 periods. That will cause it to be correctly aligned with this trend signal.
