Ultimate RSIHere is a breakdown of its core features and how they work together:
1. Volatility-Adaptive RSI Length
How it works: Instead of using a static length (like the traditional 14-period RSI), the script calculates the market's standard deviation (volatility).
The Benefit: When the market is highly volatile, the RSI length dynamically shortens, making the indicator more responsive so you can catch quick reversals. When volatility drops (consolidation), the length expands, smoothing the RSI line to filter out "chop" and false signals.
2. Dynamic Overbought / Oversold Zones (Bollinger Bands)
How it works: Standard RSIs use static horizontal lines at 70 and 30. This script applies Bollinger Bands directly to the RSI values themselves.
The Benefit: A reading of 70 isn't always overbought in a strong trend. By wrapping the RSI in a standard deviation channel, you get a dynamic zone. If the RSI breaks above its upper dynamic band, you know momentum is genuinely extreme relative to recent conditions, rather than a fixed arbitrary number.
3. Automated Divergence Detection
How it works: The script constantly scans for discrepancies between price action and RSI momentum.
The Benefit: It automatically plots visual markers on the RSI pane when it detects:
Regular Divergences (Reversals): E.g., Price makes a Lower Low, but RSI makes a Higher Low (Bullish Divergence).
Hidden Divergences (Trend Continuations): E.g., Price makes a Higher Low, but RSI drops to a Lower Low (Hidden Bullish).
4. RSI Moving Average (Signal Line)
How it works: An additional moving average (you can choose between SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, or HMA) is plotted alongside the RSI.
The Benefit: This acts as a trigger line. An RSI crossing above its EMA can be used as an early entry signal, or as confirmation that momentum has definitively shifted.
5. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support
How it works: You can configure the indicator to calculate RSI based on a higher timeframe (e.g., pulling 4-Hour RSI data while you are looking at a 15-minute chart).
The Benefit: This ensures your lower timeframe entries are always aligned with the macro momentum, preventing you from trading against the larger trend.
6. Visual Confluence & Alerts
The RSI line itself is color-coded. For example, it turns bright green when momentum is both above 50 and rising, and dark red when below 50 and falling.
It includes a full suite of alert conditions (divergences and MA crossovers) so you can automate your trading or get pinged when a setup occurs.
In summary, it's designed to replace 3 or 4 different indicators on your chart by giving you adaptive momentum, dynamic exhaustion zones, trend direction, and divergence signals all natively in one branded, professional package. Indicator
Directional PurityDirectional Purity
Rather than a simple standalone strategy, Directional Purity is a professional trend-filtering and directional stability engine designed to supercharge any existing trading strategy. It eliminates the fatal flaw of traditional indicators like ADX—which measure trend strength with significant lag—by equipping your strategy with a zero-lag, mathematically precise gauge of directional purity.
Traditionally, ADX relies on double-smoothed EMAs of directional movements, causing delayed responses to trend breakouts and exhaustion. Directional Purity resolves this by using the mathematical equivalence of Chande's CMO and Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER) as a volatility index to dynamically adapt a 13-period VIDYA (Variable Index Dynamic Average) base.
By utilizing a telescoping sum optimization, this script is fully vectorized (loop-free), ensuring extremely fast execution on any time frame.
Features:
- Live Dashboard: Shows real-time market state (Trending Bullish, Trending Bearish, Ranging) and Trend Purity %.
- Visual Fills: Highlights ranging zones in gray to prevent overtrading.
- Built-in Alerts: Triggers for trend breakouts, entering ranges, and direction shifts.

Wick Asymmetry Ratio (WAR)Wick Asymmetry Ratio (WAR)
WAR is a bounded oscillator (−1 to +1) that measures which candle wick dominates — in other words, where price was rejected .
How it's calculated
upper = high − max(open, close)
lower = min(open, close) − low
WAR = (lower − upper) / (high − low + ε)
Most wick tools compare each wick against the body. WAR instead subtracts the two wicks and normalizes by the full bar range. Two consequences: it never breaks on doji candles (zero body, no division blow-up), and it produces a single symmetric value comparable across symbols and timeframes.
How to read it
WAR > 0 → lower wick dominates → buyers defended the low (bullish rejection)
WAR < 0 → upper wick dominates → sellers capped the high (bearish rejection)
WAR ≈ 0 → clean body or symmetric wicks → no clear rejection
The signal filter — this is the point
A single strong wick means little in the middle of a range. WAR only marks a signal when a strong rejection coincides with the bar being the highest/lowest of the lookback window, plus a cooldown to prevent clusters. This is what separates it from "an arrow on every wick".

WAR is a context / exhaustion tool, not a standalone entry trigger. It tells you who absorbed price on a given bar; it does not predict direction by itself. Use it as confluence with structure, support/resistance, or your own system. On sub-cent assets raise ε. The signal fires on bar close at the threshold cross.
Open-source. Wick analysis is a well-known concept; what's specific here is the subtractive, range-normalized oscillator plus the extreme + cooldown filter and the price-overlay ribbon. Feedback and forks welcome.

WAR es un oscilador acotado (−1 a +1) que mide qué mecha de la vela domina, es decir, dónde fue rechazado el precio . A diferencia de los ratios mecha/cuerpo, WAR resta ambas mechas y normaliza por el rango total: no se rompe en doji y da un valor simétrico comparable entre activos y temporalidades.
WAR > 0 → mecha inferior domina → rechazo comprador
WAR < 0 → mecha superior domina → rechazo vendedor
WAR ≈ 0 → cuerpo limpio o mechas simétricas → sin rechazo claro
El filtro solo marca señal cuando un rechazo fuerte coincide con un extremo de la ventana, con cooldown para evitar racimos.

VWAP + RSI ConfluenceThis indicator merges VWAP and RSI into one clean visual system by coloring candles based on their agreement.
Green candles → Bullish confluence: Price is above VWAP and RSI is above the midline (default 50).
Red candles → Bearish confluence: Price is below VWAP and RSI is below the midline.
White candles (Hold) → Conflict between VWAP and RSI. The market is undecided — best to stay out and avoid choppy, low-quality setups.
The white “Hold” candles act as a powerful filter that helps you avoid trading when the two indicators disagree.
How to Use
Trade in the direction of the colored candles (green = long bias, red = short bias).
Avoid trading during white “Hold” candles.
Best used at key support/resistance levels or in combination with your existing price action or structure.
Works on all timeframes and instruments.
Important Setup Step (Required for Reliable Colors)
For the custom candle colors to display correctly even when the indicator is not selected, you must do the following once:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Right-click anywhere on the chart.
Select Object Tree.
Right-click on VWAP + RSI Confluence.
Go to Visual Order → Bring to front.
After this step, the colors will remain stable. It is recommended to save your chart as a template afterward so you don’t have to repeat this process.
Settings
VWAP Anchor: Choose between Day, Week, Month, or Year (resets the VWAP calculation accordingly).
RSI Length: Default is 21 (adjustable).
RSI Midline: Default is 50.0 (the threshold for bullish/bearish agreement).
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Bullish candles, Bearish candles, Hold candles, and their wicks.
Recommended Use
This indicator is especially useful for day trading and swing trading when you want a clear visual filter that reduces conflicting signals between momentum (RSI) and institutional average price (VWAP). Indicator
Composite Reversion OscillatorComposite Reversion Oscillator
A short-term mean-reversion oscillator that blends three different "how stretched is this?" reads into one 0–100 line: how overbought/oversold momentum is, how long the current up/down streak has run, and where the latest return ranks against its own recent history. Each measures a different face of over-extension; together they flag exhaustion more reliably than any one alone.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). A short momentum oscillator flags overbought/oversold but ignores persistence. A streak read (an oscillator of the consecutive up/down-close count) captures persistence it misses — three green closes isn't one. A return-rank read captures the size of the latest move relative to its own norm, which neither of the others sees. Averaging the three yields a composite that only reaches an extreme when momentum, streak and move-size all agree — far fewer false "oversold" prints.
What's different here. Rather than presenting the composite as a fixed rule, it forward-calibrates whether those agreed extremes actually revert on this symbol, with an out-of-sample split and a multiple-testing check — because mean-reversion edges are regime-dependent and decay, which is exactly where symbol-specific honesty matters most. Signals fire once per excursion (no zone-edge whipsaw).
How it works. Component 1: a short-period momentum oscillator of price. Component 2: the same oscillator applied to the signed consecutive-close streak. Component 3: the percentile rank of the latest return within a recent window. The composite is their average, mapped to a ±100 pane. A long fires on the cross up out of oversold (and locks out until the line recovers to mid); a short mirrors it. Each is labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample.
How to use. Read the Verdict (Long/Short/Watch/Wait) and the Conviction, which reads "High" only when that turn type shows a positive edge that survives the test here — otherwise it openly says so. Best used with your own trend and risk plan, not alone. Non-repainting.

Dominant Cycle OscillatorDominant Cycle Oscillator
A cycle tool that measures the market's current dominant cycle length directly from the data — rather than assuming a fixed period — then reads where price sits inside that cycle (its phase) and how strong the cycle is (its power). It answers three things a fixed-length oscillator can't: how long the cycle is right now, where we are within it, and whether a tradable cycle even exists.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). Each is required by the previous one. A band-pass filter isolates the tradable cycle band from slow trend and fast noise — you can't measure a cycle cleanly without first removing what isn't cyclical. An autocorrelation periodogram turns that cleaned series into a power spectrum and reports the dominant period as the spectrum's centre of gravity. A cycle-strength read — how far the dominant peak stands above the spectral noise floor — says whether that period is real or noise, so signals are suppressed when no cycle exists. Forward calibration then measures whether the cycle turns actually pay on this symbol.
How it works. Band-pass (high-pass + low-lag smoother) → autocorrelation across lags → discrete Fourier transform → power spectrum → dominant period via its centre of gravity. The cleaned cycle is normalized into a ±100 phase wave. A long fires when the phase turns up from a trough with a real cycle present, a short when it turns down from a peak; each side fires at most once per swing. Every signal is labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict (Long/Short, Weak cycle, or Wait) and the Conviction, which reads "High" only when that turn type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol — otherwise it openly says "context only" or "no proven edge here." The dashboard shows the measured cycle length and its strength. Best used with your own trend and risk plan, not alone.
Honesty & limitations. The dominant-cycle estimate is approximate and lags at regime shifts. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future. Non-repainting. The periodogram is computationally heavy on deep history / very low timeframes.

Skew Divergence OscillatorSkew Divergence Oscillator
A bounded oscillator built from the rolling skewness (asymmetry) of returns — whether recent moves lean toward big up-days or big down-days — with a divergence engine that compares that asymmetry against price. The read most tools miss: when price makes a new high but return skew is turning down (large down-moves creeping in), the advance is quietly losing its character before price confirms it. It estimates skew from higher-resolution realized data, confirms divergences on a higher timeframe, and forward-calibrates whether they pay on the chart you're viewing — in plain language.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). Each fixes a flaw in the previous one. Skewness is a distributional read price action alone doesn't show — it captures which tail is getting heavier, a leading change in market character. Realized estimation measures skew from intrabar returns instead of one value per bar, so short-window skew isn't jumpy — the standard approach in modern risk research. Divergence relates that asymmetry back to price, turning a statistic into a timing read. Higher-timeframe confirmation and forward calibration remove single-timeframe noise and blind faith respectively. Together they form one coherent tool.
How it works. Returns feed a rolling third standardized moment (skew = m3/sd³). With realized estimation on, skew is computed from a lower-timeframe return stream (confirmed only). It's standardized and soft-bounded to ±100. Divergence is detected from confirmed price pivots versus the skew line (regular and optional hidden); with MTF on, it counts only if the higher timeframe agrees. Each signal is labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict (Bull/Bear skew divergence confirmed, unconfirmed, or Wait) and the Conviction, which reads "High" only when that divergence type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol — otherwise it openly says "context only" or "no proven edge here." A skew divergence is an early character warning, not a trend signal — pair it with your own entry trigger and risk plan.
What's original. The realized-skew engine as a divergence source, the higher-timeframe confirmation layer, the triple-barrier forward calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that admits when an apparent edge isn't statistically real.
Honesty & limitations. Skew from short windows is noisy. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future. Non-repainting: pivots confirm late and never move; realized and HTF reads use confirmed data only.

Mean-Deviation Divergence OscillatorMean-Deviation Divergence Oscillator
A bounded oscillator that measures how far the typical price has stretched from its own recent mean, scaled by how much it normally deviates — so a reading tells you "how unusual is this move," not just "how big." That normalization makes its swings comparable across calm and volatile regimes and well suited to divergence. It adds higher-timeframe confirmation and a plain-language forward-calibration layer, so you can see at a glance whether a divergence is corroborated and whether it has actually paid on this symbol.
Why this construction (not a mashup for show). Each part fixes a flaw in naive divergence. Raw distance-from-mean isn't comparable across regimes — dividing by the average absolute deviation (with the conventional 0.015 scaling, chosen so that roughly 70–80% of readings fall within ±100) makes the oscillator regime-comparable, which is the whole reason it's a good divergence base. Higher-timeframe confirmation removes single-timeframe noise. Forward calibration removes blind faith: instead of assuming a divergence "should" reverse price, it measures whether it actually has, with realistic profit/stop outcomes. The normalized oscillator, the divergence engine, the MTF check and the calibration form one coherent tool.
How it works. Oscillator = (typical price − its moving average) ÷ (0.015 × mean absolute deviation), soft-bounded to a clean ±100 pane that auto-fits its own recent magnitude. Divergence is detected from confirmed price pivots versus the oscillator (regular and optional hidden). With MTF confirmation on, a divergence counts only if a same-direction divergence is also present on the chosen higher timeframe. Each signal is then labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row (Bull/Bear divergence confirmed, "unconfirmed," or Wait) and the Conviction row, which reads "High" only when that divergence type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol. A divergence is a reversal warning, not a trend signal — pair it with your own entry trigger and risk plan.
What's original. Higher-timeframe divergence confirmation on a mean-deviation normalized oscillator, the forward triple-barrier calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that openly admits when there's no proven edge.
Inputs. Price/High/Low sources (change them for any market), reading mode (Simple/Pro), engine length and deviation scale, divergence and HTF-confirm controls, full calibration settings, and an auto-adapting dashboard legible on dark or light charts. Defaults are tuned for NSE:NIFTY1! intraday.
Honesty & limitations. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future. Divergence is inherently early and can persist before price turns.

Smoothed Momentum Divergence OscillatorSmoothed Momentum Divergence Oscillator
A bounded momentum oscillator whose momentum is double-smoothed — once on the price change and once on its size — which makes its swings unusually clean and well suited to divergence. It adds higher-timeframe confirmation and a plain-language forward-calibration layer, so you can see at a glance whether a divergence is corroborated and whether it has actually paid on this symbol.
Why this construction (not a mashup for show). Each part removes a weakness of raw divergence. Raw momentum is jagged, so single-pass divergence is noisy — smoothing the price change twice (and dividing by the twice-smoothed size of the change) produces a clean bounded line whose pivots are stable, which is the core reason this construction suits divergence at all. Higher-timeframe confirmation removes single-timeframe noise: a divergence that also shows on a higher timeframe is far less likely to be a fluke. Forward calibration removes blind faith: instead of assuming a divergence "should" reverse price, it measures whether it actually has, with realistic profit/stop outcomes. The smoothed oscillator, the divergence engine, the MTF check and the calibration form one coherent tool.
How it works. Momentum = double-smoothed price change ÷ double-smoothed absolute price change, scaled to a bounded line with a signal average. Divergence is detected from confirmed price pivots versus the oscillator (regular and optional hidden). With MTF confirmation on, a divergence counts only if a same-direction divergence is also present on the chosen higher timeframe. Each signal is then labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row (Bull/Bear divergence confirmed, "unconfirmed," or Wait) and the Conviction row, which reads "High" only when that divergence type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol.

Multi-Period Divergence OscillatorMulti-Period Divergence Oscillator
A bounded buying-pressure oscillator built to expose divergences that are corroborated across multiple measurement windows at once — and, optionally, across timeframes — then scores its own divergences forward on your chart in plain language so you can see at a glance whether to act or wait.
Why this construction (not a mashup for show). Single-window oscillators throw frequent, fragile divergences. The fix, by design, is to measure buying pressure over three windows (fast, medium, slow) and weight them into one line, so a divergence only forms when short-, medium- and long-horizon pressure agree. This tool layers two further filters that each remove a class of false signal: higher-timeframe confirmation (a divergence that also shows on a higher timeframe is far less likely to be noise), and forward calibration (instead of assuming a divergence "should" reverse price, it measures whether it actually has, on this symbol, with realistic profit/stop outcomes). The oscillator, the divergence engine, the MTF check and the calibration form one coherent tool — none alone is sufficient, which is why they're combined.
How it works. Buying pressure = close − min(low, prior close); true range = max(high, prior close) − min(low, prior close). The oscillator weights their sums over three windows (default 7/14/28). Divergence is detected from confirmed price pivots versus the oscillator (regular and optional hidden). With HTF confirmation on, a signal counts only if a same-direction divergence is also present on the chosen higher timeframe. Each signal is then labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row (Bull/Bear divergence confirmed, "unconfirmed," or Wait) and the Conviction row, which reads "High" only when that divergence type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol. A divergence is a reversal warning, not a trend signal — pair it with your own entry trigger and risk plan. Best used alongside structure, not alone.
What's original. Higher-timeframe divergence confirmation on a multi-window oscillator, the forward triple-barrier calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that openly admits when there's no proven edge.
Inputs. High/Low/Close sources (change them for any market), reading mode (Simple/Pro), oscillator windows, divergence and HTF-confirm controls, full calibration settings, and an auto-adapting dashboard legible on dark or light charts. Defaults are tuned for NSE:NIFTY1! intraday.

RSI Volume-Validated Overbought/OversoldRSI Volume-Validated Overbought/Oversold
OVERVIEW
This indicator combines a standard RSI with a volume validation layer. The core idea: an RSI reading in overbought or oversold territory does not by itself guarantee that price will decelerate or reverse — the move often needs participation (volume) behind it to be meaningful. This script accumulates volume while price sits inside an overbought or oversold RSI zone and only flags the episode once that accumulated volume reaches a defined threshold, distinguishing zones with real participation from zones with weak, low-volume RSI extremes that are more likely to be ignored by price.
WHAT IT IS MADE OF
1. RSI Engine
A standard RSI (configurable length and source) checked against two configurable levels: an overbought level (default 70) and an oversold level (default 30).
2. Volume Accumulator
From the moment RSI enters an overbought or oversold zone, the indicator starts summing the volume of every bar for as long as RSI remains inside that zone. This running total resets to zero each time a new zone episode begins (i.e., each fresh entry into overbought or oversold after having been outside it).
3. Volume Threshold
A simple moving average of volume (default length 20) multiplied by a user-defined factor (default 8) forms the validation threshold. This threshold is recalculated on every bar using current volume conditions.
4. Validation Logic
The indicator continuously compares the accumulated zone volume against the threshold. The first bar where the accumulated volume reaches or exceeds the threshold — while RSI is still inside the zone — triggers the signal for that episode. Only one signal can fire per zone episode; once triggered, the indicator will not signal again until RSI exits the zone and re-enters it later.
WHAT IT SIGNALS AND HOW
- A green upward triangle below the bar marks a validated oversold episode (accumulated volume met the threshold while RSI was oversold).
- A red downward triangle above the bar marks a validated overbought episode (accumulated volume met the threshold while RSI was overbought).
- A label is plotted at the signal bar showing the exact accumulated volume figure for that episode, so the reader can see how much participation triggered the validation.
- RSI readings that reach overbought/oversold but never accumulate enough volume before exiting the zone produce no signal at all. These "weak" episodes are intentionally left unmarked.
HOW TO INTERPRET IT
A signal does not mean "buy here" or "sell here." It means: at this point, price has been overbought/oversold for long enough, with enough volume behind that condition, that the RSI extreme is more likely to carry real weight. Historically, this tends to coincide with one of three outcomes:
- Price decelerates and reverses direction.
- Price decelerates and consolidates/pauses before continuing.
- Price continues in the same direction, but at a reduced pace.
The signal is a condition-strength marker, not a directional entry trigger.
HOW TO USE IT
Use this indicator as a filter or confirmation layer on top of your own analysis — for example, alongside support/resistance, structure, or other timing tools — to judge whether a given overbought/oversold reading is likely to matter. It is best suited as a heads-up that momentum may be about to change character, not as a standalone trigger for opening positions.
LIMITATIONS
- This indicator does NOT generate buy/sell entries. It only flags when a volume-validated overbought/oversold condition occurs. Any trading decision based on it requires additional confirmation and risk management from the user.
- It does not predict the magnitude or exact timing of a reversal or deceleration — only that the condition has met a volume-based validation threshold.
- The volume SMA and threshold factor are fully adjustable; results will vary significantly by asset, timeframe, and the chosen factor. Defaults shown here (SMA length 20, factor 8) were tuned through visual backtesting and may need re-calibration for other instruments or timeframes.
- On instruments or data feeds where volume data is unavailable or unreliable (e.g., some spot forex feeds), the volume accumulation and threshold comparison will not function as intended.
- This script does not repaint: each signal is generated and locked in on the bar where the volume threshold is met and does not change on historical bars after that point. Indicator
Directional Strength OscillatorDirectional Strength Oscillator
A signed trend-strength oscillator that reads the tug-of-war between upward and downward movement and prints one line — positive in uptrends, negative in downtrends, crossing zero at trend changes. Unlike a plain directional reading, it dims itself when price is only chopping, flags weakening trends through divergence, and scores its own signals forward on your chart in plain language.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). Each part answers what the previous one leaves open. Up-movement vs down-movement relative to true range gives a clean, bounded read of who's winning and by how much — but it can read "strong" inside noisy, non-trending chop. A trend-efficiency filter (net travel over total path) measures whether price is actually going somewhere; folding it into the line removes the false-strong chop. A divergence check (price makes a new extreme while strength does not) flags weakening trends the raw line would miss. Together they form one directional-strength tool.
How it works. Up-movement = |high − prior low|, down-movement = |low − prior high|; each is summed over the length and divided by summed true range to get the up and down lines. Their difference is the raw strength; it's standardized, soft-bounded to ±100, then scaled by a 0–1 trend-efficiency factor. Signals are zero-crosses gated by a minimum quality, plus divergence against price (measured on the undimmed strength). Each signal is then labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and equal stop in ATR units plus a time limit — so a "win" means the target hit before the stop. Results split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row (Long/Short signal, Watch, or Wait) and the Conviction row, which reads "High" only when that signal type shows a positive edge that survives the test on this symbol. Green line above zero = uptrend in control, red below = downtrend; shaded bands = strong trend; the trend-quality % tells you how clean the move is. Best used with your own entry and risk plan, not alone.
What's original. The trend-quality gate that removes false-strong chop, integrated divergence on the undimmed line, the forward triple-barrier calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that openly admits when there's no proven edge.
Inputs. High/Low sources (change them for any market), reading mode (Simple/Pro), engine, quality-gate, divergence and full calibration settings, and an auto-adapting dashboard legible on dark or light charts. Defaults are tuned for NSE:NIFTY1! intraday.
Honesty & limitations. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future.

Sharp Reversal OscillatorSharp Reversal Oscillator
A reversal-timing oscillator that re-shapes price into a near-Gaussian form so turning points snap into sharp, clear extremes instead of rounded, ambiguous ones — then scores its own turns forward on your chart, in plain language, so you can see at a glance whether to act or wait.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). Three steps are stacked, each fixing the previous one's flaw. Raw price excursions are fat-tailed, so it's unclear where an extreme really is; a distribution-normalizing transform stretches values near the edges, turning a compressed extreme into a clear spike. But that transform is easily biased by trend — in a strong move it pins to one side — so the input is first band-pass cleaned (slow trend and fastest noise removed), leaving the tradable swing it should sharpen. The normalization window is then set from the market's measured dominant cycle rather than a fixed guess, so it stays tuned as cycles stretch and compress. The three only work as one tool.
How it works. Band-pass clean → locate price within its recent range, scaled to (−1, 1) → distribution-normalizing transform, smoothed → signal when the line crosses its one-bar trigger from an extreme. The window optionally follows a dominant cycle measured by autocorrelation of the band-passed price. Each signal is then labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and an equal stop in ATR units, plus a time limit — so a "win" means the target was hit before the stop. Results split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row (Long/Short signal, Watch, or Wait). Check Conviction — it reads "High" only when that signal type shows a positive edge that survives the statistical test on this symbol; otherwise treat it as context. Green wave above zero is up-pressure, red below is down; shaded bands are extremes; the faint line is the trigger. Best used with your own trend and risk plan, not alone.
What's original. The band-pass-cleaned input, the self-tuning window, the forward triple-barrier calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that openly admits when there's no proven edge — instead of presenting every signal as equally reliable.
Inputs. Price source (change it for any market), reading mode (Simple/Pro), engine and self-tuning controls, extreme level, full calibration settings, and an auto-adapting dashboard legible on dark or light charts. Defaults are tuned for NSE:NIFTY1! intraday.
Honesty & limitations. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future, and the cycle estimate lags at regime shifts.

A bounded cycle-timing oscillator that does two things most cycle tools don't: it tunes its own period to the market's measured rhythm, and it scores its own signals forward on your chart in plain language — so you can see at a glance whether to act or wait.
What it is. A 0-100-style cycle line (shown −100…+100) that highlights up-phases and down-phases and marks turns out of oversold/overbought. A dashboard translates the current state into a one-word verdict and an honest conviction read.
Why these parts are combined (not a mashup for show). Three classical ideas are fused because each fixes the previous one's flaw. A trend-difference line (fast average minus slow average) captures direction but is unbounded and late at turns. Running it through a double stochastic normalization bounds it and sharpens the cyclical phase, so reversals show sooner with less whipsaw. The remaining weakness is the fixed normalization length — real cycles stretch and compress — so the length is set from a measured dominant cycle (autocorrelation of a band-passed price), making the oscillator self-tuning. The three only work as one tool; separately each is incomplete.
How it works. (1) Dominant cycle: band-pass filter → autocorrelation across lags → Fourier transform → power spectrum → dominant period via its centre of gravity. (2) Oscillator: trend-difference → stochastic over the measured period → smooth → stochastic → smooth. (3) Calibration: each signal is labelled by a triple barrier — a profit target and an equal stop in ATR units, plus a time limit — so a "win" means the target was reached before the stop. Results split into in-sample and recent out-of-sample, with a confidence interval and a multiple-testing check.
How to use. Read the Verdict row first (Long/Short signal, Watch, or Wait). Check Conviction — it only reads "High" when that signal type shows a positive edge that survives the statistical test on this symbol; otherwise treat the signal as context. Green wave above the mid line is an up-phase, red below is a down-phase; shaded bands are extremes. Best used alongside your own trend and risk plan, not alone.
What's original. The self-tuning period, the forward triple-barrier calibration with an out-of-sample split, and a conviction read that openly admits when there's no proven edge — rather than presenting every signal as equally reliable.
Inputs. Price source (change it to use any market), reading mode (Simple/Pro), cycle and self-tuning controls, signal zones, full calibration settings, and an auto-adapting dashboard that stays legible on dark or light charts. Defaults are tuned for NSE:NIFTY1! intraday.
Honesty & limitations. Edge figures are computed on this chart's own history with overlapping windows and no costs — context, not a guaranteed backtest; past behaviour doesn't predict the future, and the cycle estimate lags at regime shifts.

ETH RSI Indicator [3Commas]ETH RSI Indicator
🔷 What it does:
This is a signal-only indicator that mirrors a long-only DCA workflow on ETH / USDT. It tracks a single virtual position: a base entry opens when 4h RSI(14) drops below 28; if price keeps falling, five averaging orders add to the virtual position at fixed deviations from the base entry, each larger than the last; the position is then closed at a fixed take-profit above the blended average entry. The indicator computes running average entry, deployed capital, open PnL, and lifetime realized PnL from honest fill-by-fill bookkeeping, and emits a webhook-ready JSON alert payload on the base order, every safety order, and the close.
- Single entry filter: 4h RSI(14) below 28 (deep oversold).
- Five averaging orders at fixed deviations (−2%, −5%, −9.5%, −16%, −25%) with 1.8× size scaling per rung.
- Fixed take-profit on the blended average entry; no trailing, no stop loss.
- Honest virtual bookkeeping: avg entry, deployed capital, Open PnL, and cumulative realized PnL displayed live on the chart.
🔷 Who is it for:
- Swing traders accumulating ETH on deep RSI flushes who want a chart-driven signal source.
- Bot operators who want base / safety-order / close webhook JSON ready to drive a DCA Bot.
- Traders comfortable with martingale-style averaging who size their capital to the worst-case ladder fill.
- Traders who want strategy-tester-equivalent insight (live realized / unrealized PnL) without running a backtest engine.
🔷 How does it work:
Base Entry: On each closed 4h bar the indicator reads RSI(14). When RSI falls below 28 and there is no open virtual position, it marks a virtual base order at the close price and dispatches the entry webhook.
Averaging Orders: Once in a virtual position, the indicator watches price relative to the original base entry. The five safety orders are armed at fixed deviations from that base entry — not cumulatively — at −2%, −5%, −9.5%, −16%, and −25%. As each threshold is crossed on bar close, the corresponding safety order is recorded and its webhook fires. Order sizes scale 1.8× per rung ($900 → $1,620 → $2,916 → $5,249 → $9,448 from a $500 base), pulling the blended average entry down toward the latest fill.
Honest Virtual Bookkeeping: Total cost and qty are updated incrementally on every event, so the avg entry, deployed capital, and Open PnL displayed in the status table reflect the actual broker-equivalent position state — no shortcut, no synthetic averaging.
Take Profit & Lifetime PnL: When price closes at or above the take-profit level (a fixed percentage above the average entry), the virtual position is closed, its round-trip profit is added to a persistent realized-PnL counter, and the close webhook fires. The status table displays both Open PnL (current unrealized state) and cumulative realized PnL, so live performance is visible directly on the chart.
Capital Bounds: Total virtual deployed capital cannot exceed the base order plus the five safety orders. Once all five are filled, no further adds occur — the position simply waits for the take-profit.
🔷 Why it's unique:
- Deep-Oversold-Only Entries: A single, strict RSI(14) < 28 filter on 4h keeps the signal quiet in normal conditions and only fires after a meaningful flush.
- Fixed-Deviation Martingale Ladder: Safety orders are placed at fixed percentages from the base entry with deliberate 1.8× size scaling — a transparent, fully-specified averaging schedule rather than an opaque adaptive grid.
- Full Webhook Chain: Base order, each safety order, and the close all emit dedicated JSON payloads. One PulseWire alert with "Any alert() function call" drives a 3Commas DCA Bot end-to-end.
- Live PnL Tracking: Open PnL and cumulative realized PnL are displayed live on the chart — the indicator gives strategy-tester-equivalent insight without running a backtest.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
Martingale Tail Risk: Order sizes scale 1.8× per rung, so the deepest fills are by far the largest. If ETH trends hard below the −25% AO5 level without recovering to take-profit, the virtual position sits fully loaded with no further adds and no stop — Open PnL can grow deeply negative until price reverts.
No Stop Loss: There is no exit signal on adverse moves. Risk is bounded only by the fixed ladder allocation (base + five AOs ≈ $20,633 at default sizing). If a hard exchange-side stop is required, configure it on the bot directly.
Match Sizing to Your Bot: The avg-entry and PnL display becomes meaningful only when the indicator's base/AO sizing matches your real DCA Bot configuration.
Cross Detection Granularity: Base, safety-order, and take-profit events are evaluated on bar close. A bar that spikes through a level and returns within the same bar may be missed by design — this matches realistic polling behavior and avoids over-signaling on intra-bar wicks.
Live vs Historical State: The virtual position is rebuilt from chart history each time the indicator is recompiled. If the indicator is added mid-deployment or the live bot diverges from the signal stream (manual interventions, partial fills), the indicator state may not match the live bot. Toggle the indicator off and on to reset.
Backtesting Note: This is an indicator, not a strategy. There is no built-in P&L tester — but the live realized-PnL counter in the status table gives a running approximation. For full metrics over the reference ~30-month sample (93 closed trades, 68.82% win rate, 3.83% max drawdown, profit factor 5.019, +5.79% net return over January 1, 2024 – June 28, 2026), use the companion strategy version on identical parameters. Note the 93-trade sample is just below the ~100-trade floor for statistical confidence — treat those metrics as indicative.
🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Add the indicator to a 4h ETH / USDT chart.
🔸 Confirm the RSI level (28), the five AO deviations and sizes, and the take-profit percentage match your bot's configuration. Match the base/AO sizing so the avg-entry and PnL display stays meaningful.
🔸 In the DCA Bot Webhook group, paste the Bot ID, Email Token, and Pair (QUOTE_BASE format, e.g., USDT_ETH).
🔸 Create an alert on the indicator with "Any alert() function call". Paste the DCA Bot's webhook URL into the alert's Webhook field. The base order, each safety order, and the close will each emit a dedicated JSON payload formatted for direct DCA Bot consumption.
🔷 INDICATOR SETTINGS
Base Order Size: Virtual capital committed on the first (base) entry.
AO Deviations: Fixed percentage distances from the base entry where each safety order fires.
AO Sizes: Virtual capital per safety order (1.8× scaling by default).
RSI Timeframe / Length / Level: Oversold filter for the base entry (default 4h, 14, below 28).
Take Profit (%): Distance above average entry where the full position closes.
DCA Bot Webhook: Bot ID, Email Token, and Pair fields injected into every alert payload.
Visualization: Toggle the AO ladder, fill labels, avg/TP lines, and status table (shows status, AOs filled, base/avg entry, TP target, deployed capital, open PnL, RSI, and cumulative realized PnL).
Brand Watermark: Configurable text, position, size, and transparency.

ETH RSI Strategy [3Commas]ETH RSI Strategy
🔷 What it does:
This is a long-only DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) strategy for ETH / USDT that opens a position only in deep-oversold conditions and then averages down on a fixed safety-order ladder. A base order fires when 4h RSI(14) drops below 28; if price keeps falling, five averaging orders add to the position at fixed deviations from the base entry, each larger than the last. The full position is closed at a fixed take-profit above the blended average entry. There is no trailing exit and no stop loss — the position is structurally bounded by the five-order ladder.
- Single entry filter: 4h RSI(14) below 28 (deep oversold).
- Five averaging orders at fixed deviations (−2%, −5%, −9.5%, −16%, −25%) with 1.8× size scaling per rung.
- Fixed take-profit on the blended average entry; no trailing, no stop loss.
- Every fill and close emits a webhook-ready JSON alert payload for a DCA Bot.
🔷 Who is it for:
- Swing traders accumulating ETH on deep RSI flushes rather than chasing momentum.
- Bot operators who want a chart-driven signal source with base / safety-order / close webhook JSON ready to drive a DCA Bot.
- Traders comfortable with martingale-style averaging who size their capital to the worst-case ladder fill.
- Range / mean-reversion traders who prefer mechanical oversold entries over discretionary timing.
🔷 How does it work:
Entry (Base Order): On each closed 4h bar the strategy reads RSI(14). When RSI falls below 28 and there is no open position, it opens the base order at market (or limit, optionally) and dispatches the entry webhook.
Averaging Orders: Once in a position, the strategy watches price relative to the original base entry. The five safety orders are armed at fixed deviations from that base entry — not cumulatively — at −2%, −5%, −9.5%, −16%, and −25%. As each threshold is crossed on bar close, the corresponding averaging order fires. Order sizes scale 1.8× per rung ($900 → $1,620 → $2,916 → $5,249 → $9,448 from a $500 base), pulling the blended average entry down toward the latest fill.
Exit (Take Profit): While in a position, the strategy computes a take-profit price a fixed percentage above the current average entry. When price closes at or above that level, the entire position is closed at market and the close webhook fires. There is no trailing and no stop loss.
Capital Bounds: Total deployed capital cannot exceed the base order plus the five safety orders. Once all five averaging orders are filled, no further adds occur — the position simply waits for the take-profit. This ladder cap is the strategy's primary risk control.
🔷 Why it's unique:
- Deep-Oversold-Only Entries: A single, strict RSI(14) < 28 filter on 4h keeps the strategy out of the market in normal conditions and only commits capital after a meaningful flush.
- Fixed-Deviation Martingale Ladder: Safety orders are placed at fixed percentages from the base entry with deliberate 1.8× size scaling, so each rung has progressively more influence on the average — a transparent, fully-specified averaging schedule rather than an opaque adaptive grid.
- Full Webhook Chain: Base order, each safety order, and the close all emit dedicated JSON payloads. The strategy can drive a 3Commas DCA Bot end-to-end with no glue layer.
- On-Chart Transparency: The AO ladder, average entry, and take-profit target are plotted live, and the status table reports RSI, AOs filled, base/average entry, TP target, and max deployable capital — so the position state is always visible.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Strategy:
Trade Volume — Below the Statistical Floor: The reference backtest produced 93 closed trades over ~30 months. This is just below the ~100-trade threshold often used as a floor for statistical relevance, so treat the win rate and profit factor as indicative rather than conclusive. The strict RSI < 28 filter is what keeps the trade count low.
Martingale Tail Risk: Order sizes scale 1.8× per rung, so the deepest fills are by far the largest. If ETH trends hard below the −25% AO5 level without recovering to take-profit, the position sits fully loaded with no further adds and no stop — unrealized loss can grow until price reverts. The 1.8× scaling amplifies both the recovery speed and the downside.
No Stop Loss Justification: There is no exit on adverse moves. Per-order risk is bounded by the fixed ladder allocation; aggregate exposure is capped at base + five AOs (≈ $20,633 on the default $100k account, ~20.6% of equity). Size the base/AO inputs down to match the worst-case exposure you are willing to hold.
Capital Deployment & Drawdown: The reference backtest reached a 3.83% maximum equity drawdown at default sizing — but that depends on the configured ladder fitting within ETH's observed swings. A deeper or more prolonged decline than the test sample would produce a larger drawdown.
Fees: The default commission (0.06% per trade) should be matched to your exchange's actual taker fees. With a fixed 3% take-profit the per-trade edge is modest, so a fee mismatch matters.
Demo Testing: Always demo-test before going live. Past results do not guarantee future performance, particularly for martingale-style averaging strategies whose risk profile is dominated by rare deep drawdowns.

Vortex Signals [Gabremoku]Vortex Signals is a reworked version of the classic Vortex Indicator designed to make directional shifts easier to read and less reactive than raw crossover-based interpretations.
Instead of treating every VI+ / VI- crossover as a direct trading signal, this script uses the Vortex lines as a regime detector first, then looks for signal quality through spread expansion and re-activation after a pullback. The goal is to reduce the noisy sequence of repeated entries and exits that often appears when the standard Vortex is used on its own.
What the script does:
Plots the classic Vortex components, VI+ and VI-.
Fills the space between the two lines with a dynamic gradient that reflects which side is dominant and how strong the current spread is.
Detects bullish and bearish dominance regimes.
Uses a signal engine based on regime change, spread expansion, and first valid continuation after weakening.
Prints compact chart markers for LONG, SHORT, and CLOSE events.
Includes a dashboard to show current state, sequence status, setup condition, spread, slope, and directional bias.
How it works:
Regime: the script first determines whether VI+ is above VI- or VI- is above VI+.
Spread: it measures the distance between the two Vortex lines to evaluate whether dominance is meaningful or weak.
Expansion: a regime becomes more relevant when the spread rises above its short baseline and continues widening.
Trigger logic: instead of firing on every crossover, the script waits for either an early valid impulse after regime change or the first useful re-expansion after a pullback inside the same regime.
Why this is different from the classic Vortex:
The built-in Vortex is often read through raw line crossovers.
This script reframes the indicator as a dominance and continuation tool rather than a pure crossover trigger.
The signal engine is designed to capture cleaner transitions and continuation phases while avoiding part of the back-and-forth noise that often occurs in choppy conditions.
How to use it:
In Long mode, focus on bullish dominance and the appearance of a LONG marker after spread expansion or re-expansion.
In Short mode, focus on bearish dominance and the appearance of a SHORT marker after the same logic on the opposite side.
CLOSE markers appear when the opposite Vortex condition breaks the active sequence.
Suggested use:
This script is generally better suited to trending or directional environments than to highly compressed sideways markets.
In my testing and chart observation, the signals can appear cleaner on the 1H timeframe, where short-term noise is often reduced compared with very low timeframes, but users should still adapt settings to the instrument and market structure they trade.
Notes:
This indicator is not predictive and does not guarantee profitable signals.
It should be used as a decision-support tool together with price structure, risk management, and broader market context.
As with any directional model, false signals can still occur during whipsaw or transition phases. Indicator
Kinetic Slippage Index (KSI)Overview
The Kinetic Slippage Index (KSI) is an advanced volume-volatility oscillator designed to measure market efficiency—or the lack thereof. Inspired by order book microstructure and liquidity gaps, KSI calculates the "cost of price movement." It helps traders identify hidden institutional distribution, retail exhaustion, and high-probability false breakouts.
Unlike standard momentum oscillators (RSI, Stochastic) that only track price speed, KSI analyzes how much raw volume was required to achieve a specific price range.
The Theoretical Concept
In a highly liquid and efficient market, large trading volumes are absorbed by dense limit orders, causing the price to move smoothly and tightly.
However, when liquidity clears out (an "empty order book" or "liquidity vacuum"), even a small market order can cause a massive price jump. This phenomenon is called slippage.
KSI mathematically captures this by squaring the True Range and dividing it by the current Volume and its long-term EMA.
- High KSI: Price is flying or dropping fast, but on critically low volume. The market is "hollow."
- Low KSI: Enormous volume is pouring in, but the price is compressed into tight bars. Heavy institutional absorption is taking place.
How to Trade with KSI (Key Use Cases)
1. Fading False Breakouts (The "SPIKE" Signal)
- Scenario: The price breaks out of a key resistance or support level, creating a new local high/low.
- KSI Behavior: A purple "SPIKE" marker appears, meaning KSI has crossed above the critical threshold.
- Interpretation: The breakout is happening on a "hollow" market without institutional backing. It is highly likely a liquidity hunt (stop-run).
- Strategy: Look for a reversal pattern on the price chart and trade against the breakout (Fade).
2. Trend Exhaustion & Climax
- Scenario: The asset is in a strong, prolonged trend. Suddenly, a massive price bar occurs in the direction of the trend.
- KSI Behavior: KSI prints a series of extreme high histogram bars or triggers a "SPIKE" alert.
- Interpretation: This is a buying/selling climax (exhaustion). Smart money is withdrawing their limit orders, letting late retail buyers push the price into a vacuum right before the crash.
- Strategy: Tighten trailing stops on current positions or prepare for a counter-trend setup.
3. Institutional Accumulation / Compression
- Scenario: Price enters a tight, boring consolidation (flat).
- KSI Behavior: The histogram bars turn red and get tightly compressed near the zero line, staying significantly below the orange Signal Line.
- Interpretation: Huge trading volume is being injected, but the price isn't moving. Big players are quietly accumulating or distributing positions using iceberg orders.
- Strategy: Do not trade inside this zone. Prepare for a massive, explosive breakout. Wait for the KSI histogram to flip green and cross above the Signal Line to confirm the direction.
Inputs & Customization
- ATR / Range Period (Default: 14): Controls the lookback window for measuring the price range.
- Volume EMA Period (Default: 20): Smooths out volume to create a reliable benchmark for average liquidity.
- Signal Line Period (Default: 9): An EMA of the KSI itself, used to detect shorter-term shifts in momentum (Green/Red histogram flips).
- Spike Signal Level (Default: 50000): Critical value line for alerts.
