SHK RSI STRENGTH & PRICE MOMENTUMAn RSI-based momentum oscillator that overlays two independently configurable moving averages on top of the RSI to visualize trend strength and short-term momentum shifts at a glance.
█ How it works
- RSI — the standard Relative Strength Index (length and source configurable).
- Mid line — the RSI pivot line, editable from 35 to 55 (default 50), used as the bull/bear split for the fill and alert regime.
- Strength — a slower moving average of the RSI (default: WMA 21) that shows the underlying momentum trend.
- Price — a faster moving average of the RSI (default: EMA 3) that reacts quickly to short-term swings.
- Fill — the area between RSI and the mid line is shaded green when RSI is above it (bullish) and red when below (bearish), making regime shifts easy to spot.
- Cross markers — a colored circle is plotted whenever the price line crosses the strength line: green for a bullish cross, red for a bearish cross.
█ Customization
Both the strength and price lines support six selectable moving average types, so the oscillator can be tuned from a smooth trend filter to a fast reactive signal:
- SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, ALMA, DWMA (double-smoothed WMA)
ALMA offset and sigma are separately exposed for fine control over its lag and smoothness. The mid line is also fully editable (35–55, default 50) if you want a stricter or looser bull/bear threshold than the classic 50 level.
█ How to use it
- RSI above the mid line with a green fill = broader bullish momentum regime; below it with a red fill = bearish regime.
- A green cross (price crossing above strength) inside a green regime can signal renewed upside momentum; the same cross inside a red regime can signal a potential short-term bounce against the trend.
- Overbought (70) and oversold (30) reference lines are included for context.
- Built-in alerts fire on both cross directions.
█ Notes
This is a momentum-of-momentum tool: the strength and price lines are moving averages applied to the RSI itself, not to price, so they measure how the RSI's own trend is behaving rather than smoothing price directly. Use it alongside price structure or your existing entry/exit logic—it is a filter and confirmation tool, not a standalone signal generator.

Peak Activity Range Pro + SignalsPeak Activity Range Pro + Signals is an advanced price action indicator that automatically identifies high-activity trading zones where buyers and sellers have shown strong participation. These zones can help traders monitor potential support, resistance, breakout, and retest opportunities across multiple markets.
The indicator continuously analyzes recent price action to locate areas where momentum slows, reversals develop, or consolidation occurs before significant market moves.
Features
• Automatic Bullish Activity Zones
• Automatic Bearish Activity Zones
• Dynamic Supply & Demand Areas
• Retest Detection
• Zone Strength Classification
• Bullish & Bearish Reaction Markers
• Automatic Zone Extension
• Expired Zone Removal
• Optional EMA Trend Filter
• Multi-Timeframe Compatible
• Non-Repainting Zone Detection
How It Works
The indicator scans recent candles to detect areas where price experienced significant buying or selling activity. When a bullish accumulation zone is confirmed, a Buy Activity Range is created and projected forward until it is invalidated When bearish distribution is detected, a Sell Activity Range is generated to highlight potential resistance. As price revisits these areas, traders can monitor reactions for continuation or reversal confirmation.

Volume Weighted Price OscillatorThis indicator calculates the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO), a momentum oscillator similar to the MACD. It displays the distance between two moving averages as a percentage, making it comparable across different assets. This implementation enhances the PPO with optional volume weighting and a built-in divergence engine.
Key Features:
Customizable MA & Volume Weighting: Both the fast and slow moving averages (and the signal line) can be customized using different MA types (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA). An option (Volume weighted) applies volume weighting to all three MAs.
MACD-Style Display: Provides the three core components: the PPO line (momentum), a signal line (trigger), and a histogram (momentum acceleration). The histogram is color-coded to show increasing or decreasing momentum.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in divergence engine automatically detects and plots all three major divergence classes between price and the PPO line:
Regular (A): Signals potential trend reversals.
Hidden (B): Signals potential trend continuations.
Exaggerated (C): Signals weakness at double tops/bottoms.
Divergence Filtering and Visualization:
Price Tolerance Filter: Divergence detection is enhanced with a percentage-based price tolerance (pivPrcTol) to filter out insignificant market noise.
Persistent Visualization: Divergence markers are plotted for the entire duration of the signal and are visually anchored to the PPO level of the confirming pivot.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF PPO Lines: The PPO, signal line, and histogram can be calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a timeframe other than the chart's timeframe is selected. Divergences are only calculated on the active chart timeframe.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The PPO line crossing its signal line.
The PPO line crossing the zero line.
The histogram changing direction (reverting).

CoffeeShopCrypto Supply Demand PPO AdvancedCoffeeShopCrypto PPO Advanced is a structure-aware momentum oscillator and price-trend overlay designed to help traders interpret momentum strength, exhaustion, and continuation across evolving market conditions. It’s not a “buy/sell” signal tool — it's a momentum context tool that helps confirm trend intent.
Original Code derived from the Price Oscillator Indicators (PPO) found in the PulseWire Technical Indicators categories. You can view the info and calculation for the original PPO here
www.pulsewire.com
Much like the MACD, the PPO uses a couple lagging indicators to present Momentum as a percentage. But it lacks context to market structure.
What It’s Based On
This tool is based on a dual-moving-average PPO oscillator structure (Percentage Price Oscillator) enhanced by:
Oscillator pivot structure: detection of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) inside the oscillator.
Detection of Supply and Demand Trends via Market Absorption
Ability to transfer its average plots to price action
Detection of Trend Exhaustion
Real-time price-based exhaustion levels: projecting potential future supply and demand using trendlines from weakening momentum.
Integrated fast and slow Moving Averages on price using the same inputs as the oscillator, to visualize alignment between short- and long-term trends.
These elements combine momentum context with price action in a visual, intuitive system.
How It Works
1. Oscillator Structure
LHs (above zero): momentum weakening in uptrends.
HLs (below zero): momentum strengthening in downtrends.
Only valid pivots are shown (e.g., an LH must be preceded by a valid LL).
2. Exhaustion Levels
Green demand lines: price is making new lows, but oscillator prints HL → potential exhaustion.
Red supply lines: price is making new highs, but oscillator prints LH → potential exhaustion.
These lines are future-facing, projecting likely reaction zones based on momentum weakening.
3. Moving Averages on Price
Two MAs are drawn on the price chart:
Fast MA (same length as PPO short input)
Slow MA (same length as PPO long input)
These are not signal lines — they're visual guides for trend alignment.
MA crossover = PO crosses zero. This indicates short- and long-term momentum are syncing — a powerful signal of trend conviction.
When price is above both MAs, and the PO is rising above zero, bullish momentum is dominant.
When price is below both MAs, and the PO is falling below zero, bearish momentum dominates.
How Traders Can Use It
✅ Spot Trend Initiation
Wait for clear trend confirmation in price.
Use PPO Momentum+ to confirm momentum structure is aligned (e.g., HH/HL in oscillator + price above both MAs).
🔁 Track Continuations
In uptrends, look for oscillator HH and HL sequences with price holding above both MAs.
In downtrends, seek LL and LH sequences with price below both MAs.
⚠️ Watch for Exhaustion
Price breaking below red (supply) lines after oscillator LH = bearish exhaustion signal.
Price breaking above green (demand) lines after oscillator HL = bullish exhaustion signal.
These levels act like pre-mapped S/R zones, showing where momentum previously failed and price may react.
Why This Is Different
Momentum tools often lag or mislead when used blindly. This tool visualizes structural failure in momentum and maps potential outcomes. The integration of oscillator and price-based tools ensures traders are always reading context, not just raw signals.
Demand Trendlines
Demand trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Supply Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive selling pressure is persistently absorbed by passive buying interest without significant downward price continuation, and supply becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as demand regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the upside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Selling pressure is absorbed quickly by buyers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process
2. After there is a notable Bearish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive buyers will want to step in at lower prices.
3. After higher lows are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bullish pattern at this trendline where aggressive buyers stepped in to reverse price action to the upside.
Supply Trendlines
Supply trendlines show us Wykoff's law of "Absorbed Demand Reversal" In real time.
When aggressive buying pressure is persistently absorbed by passive selling interest without significant downward price continuation, and demand becomes exhausted, the market structure shifts as supply regains control—resulting in a directional reversal to the downside.
This commonly happens in a 3 phase interaction of price.
1. Buying pressure is absorbed quickly by sellers.
This PPO tool will calculate the trend of this absorption process.
2. After there is a notable Bullish Exhaustion of price action, the PPO tool will draw a trendline of this absorption showing us the potential future prices where aggressive sellers will want to step in at higher prices.
3. After lower highs are defined in the oscillator, you'll see prices react in a strong bearish pattern at this trendline where aggressive sellers stepped in to reverse price action to the downside.
Lower High and Higher Low Signals
When the oscillator signals Lower Highs or High Lows its only noting that momentum in that trend direction is slowing. THis indicates a coming pause in the market and the proceeding longs of an uptrend or shorts of a downtrend should be taken with caution.
**These LH and HL markers are not reading as divergences in price vs momentum.**
They are simply registering against the highs and lows of itself..
Moving Averages on Price Action
The Oscillator will cross over its ZERO level the same time your Short and Long MAs cross each other. This will indicate that the short term average trend is moving ahead of the long term.
Crossovers are not an entry signal. It's a method in determining you current timeframe trend strength. Always observe price action as it passes through each of your moving averages and compare it to the positioning and direction of the oscillator.
If price dips in between the moving averages while the oscillator still shows a strong trend strength, you can wait for price to move ahead of your fast moving average.
Bar Colors and Signal Line for Trend Strength
Good Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal rising below Oscillator
Weak Bullish Trend = Oscillator above zero + Signal above Oscillator
Good Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal falling above Oscillator
Weak Bearish Trend = Oscillator below zero + Signal below Oscillator
Bar Colors
Bars are colored to match Oscillator Momentum Strength. Colors are set by user.
Why alter the known PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) in this manner?
The PPO tool is great for measuring the strength as percentage of price action over and average amount of candles however, with these changes,
you know have the ability to correlate:
Wycoff theory of supply and demand,
Measure the depth of reversals and pullback by price positioning against moving averages,
Project potential reversal and exhaustion pricing,
Visibly note the structure of momentum much like you would note market structure,
Its not enough to know there is momentum. Its better to know
A) Is it enough
B) Is there something in the way which will cause price to push back
C) Does this momentum correlate to the prevailing trend

Non-Sinusoidal Multi-Layered Moving Average OscillatorThis indicator utilizes multiple moving averages (MAs) of different lengths their difference and its rate of change to provide a comprehensive view of both short-term and long-term market trends. The output signal is characterized by its non-sinusoidal nature, offering distinct advantages in trend analysis and market forecasting.
Combining the difference between two moving averages with the ROC allows to assess not only the direction and strength of the trend but also the momentum behind it. Transforming these signal in to non-sinusoidal output enhances its utility.
The indicator allows traders to select any one or more of seven moving average options. Larger timeframes (e.g., MA89/MA144) provide a broader identification of the overall trend, helping to understand the general market direction. Smaller timeframes (e.g., MA5/MA8) are more sensitive to price changes and can indicate better entry and exit points, aiding in the identification of retracements and pullbacks. By combining multiple timeframes, traders can get a comprehensive view of the market, enabling more precise and informed trading decisions.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages:
The indicator calculates several exponential moving averages (EMAs) based on different lengths: MA5, MA8, MA13, MA21, MA34, MA55, MA89, and MA144.
These MAs are further smoothed using a secondary exponential moving average, with the smoothing length customizable by the user.
Percentage Differences:
The indicator computes the percentage differences between successive MAs (e.g., (MA5 - MA8) / MA8 * 100). These differences highlight the relative movement of prices over different periods, providing insights into market momentum and trend strength.
Short-term MA differences (e.g., MA5/MA8) are more sensitive to recent price changes, making them useful for detecting quick market movements.
Long-term MA differences (e.g., MA89/MA144) smooth out short-term fluctuations, helping to identify major trends.
Rate of Change (ROC):
The indicator applies the Rate of Change (ROC) to the percentage differences of the MAs. ROC measures the speed at which the percentage differences are changing over time, providing an additional layer of trend analysis.
ROC helps in understanding the acceleration or deceleration of market trends, indicating the strength and potential reversals.
Transformations:
The percentage differences undergo a series of mathematical transformations (either inverse hyperbolic sine transformation or inverse fisher transformation) to refine the signal and enhance its interpretability. These transformations include adjustments to stabilize the values and highlight significant movements.
checkbox allows users to select which mathematical transformations to use.
Non-Sinusoidal Nature:
The output signal of this indicator is non-sinusoidal, characterized by abrupt changes and distinct patterns rather than smooth, wave-like oscillations.
The non-sinusoidal signal provides clearer demarcations of trend changes and is more responsive to sudden market shifts.
This nature reduces the lag typically associated with sinusoidal indicators, allowing for more timely and accurate trading decisions.
Customizable Options:
Users can select which MA pairs to include in the analysis using checkboxes. This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt to different trading strategies, whether focused on short-term movements or long-term trends.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the transformed values on a separate panel, making it easy for traders to visualize the trends and potential entry or exit points.
Usage Scenarios:
Short-Term Trading: By focusing on shorter MAs (e.g., MA5/MA8), traders can capture quick market movements and identify short-term trends.
Long-Term Analysis: Utilizing longer MAs (e.g., MA89/MA144) helps in identifying major market trends.
Combination of MAs: The ability to mix different MA lengths provides a balanced view, helping traders make decisions based on both immediate price actions and overall market direction.
Practical Benefits:
Early Signal Detection: The sensitivity of short-term MAs provides early signals for potential trend changes, assisting traders in timely decision-making.
Trend Confirmation: Long-term MAs offer stable trend confirmation, reducing the likelihood of false signals in volatile markets.
Noise Reduction: The mathematical transformations and ROC applied to the percentage differences help in filtering out market noise, focusing on meaningful price movements.
Improved Responsiveness: The non-sinusoidal nature of the signal allows the indicator to react more quickly to market changes, providing more accurate and timely trading signals.
Clearer Trend Demarcations: Non-sinusoidal signals make it easier to identify distinct phases of market trends, aiding in better interpretation and decision-making.

Introduction
"Digital filtering includes the process of smoothing, predicting, differentiating, integrating, separation of signals, and removal of noise from a signal. Thus many people who do such things are actually using digital filters without realizing that they are; being unacquainted with the theory, they neither understand what they have done nor the possibilities of what they might have done."
This quote from R. W. Hamming applies to the vast majority of indicators in technical analysis . Moving averages, be they simple, weighted, or exponential, are lowpass filters; low frequency components in the signal pass through with little attenuation, while high frequencies are severely reduced.
"Oscillator" type indicators (such as MACD , Momentum, Relative Strength Index ) are another type of digital filter called a differentiator.
Tushar Chande has observed that many popular oscillators are highly correlated, which is sensible because they are trying to measure the rate of change of the underlying time series, i.e., are trying to be the first and second derivatives we all learned about in Calculus.
We use moving averages (lowpass filters) in technical analysis to remove the random noise from a time series, to discern the underlying trend or to determine prices at which we will take action. A perfect moving average would have two attributes:
It would be smooth, not sensitive to random noise in the underlying time series. Another way of saying this is that its derivative would not spuriously alternate between positive and negative values.
It would not lag behind the time series it is computed from. Lag, of course, produces late buy or sell signals that kill profits.
The only way one can compute a perfect moving average is to have knowledge of the future, and if we had that, we would buy one lottery ticket a week rather than trade!
Having said this, we can still improve on the conventional simple, weighted, or exponential moving averages. Here's how:
Two Interesting Moving Averages
We will examine two benchmark moving averages based on Linear Regression analysis.
In both cases, a Linear Regression line of length n is fitted to price data.
I call the first moving average ILRS, which stands for Integral of Linear Regression Slope. One simply integrates the slope of a linear regression line as it is successively fitted in a moving window of length n across the data, with the constant of integration being a simple moving average of the first n points. Put another way, the derivative of ILRS is the linear regression slope. Note that ILRS is not the same as a SMA ( simple moving average ) of length n, which is actually the midpoint of the linear regression line as it moves across the data.
We can measure the lag of moving averages with respect to a linear trend by computing how they behave when the input is a line with unit slope. Both SMA (n) and ILRS(n) have lag of n/2, but ILRS is much smoother than SMA .
Our second benchmark moving average is well known, called EPMA or End Point Moving Average. It is the endpoint of the linear regression line of length n as it is fitted across the data. EPMA hugs the data more closely than a simple or exponential moving average of the same length. The price we pay for this is that it is much noisier (less smooth) than ILRS, and it also has the annoying property that it overshoots the data when linear trends are present.
However, EPMA has a lag of 0 with respect to linear input! This makes sense because a linear regression line will fit linear input perfectly, and the endpoint of the LR line will be on the input line.
These two moving averages frame the tradeoffs that we are facing. On one extreme we have ILRS, which is very smooth and has considerable phase lag. EPMA has 0 phase lag, but is too noisy and overshoots. We would like to construct a better moving average which is as smooth as ILRS, but runs closer to where EPMA lies, without the overshoot.
A easy way to attempt this is to split the difference, i.e. use (ILRS(n)+EPMA(n))/2. This will give us a moving average (call it IE /2) which runs in between the two, has phase lag of n/4 but still inherits considerable noise from EPMA. IE /2 is inspirational, however. Can we build something that is comparable, but smoother? Figure 1 shows ILRS, EPMA, and IE /2.
Filter Techniques
Any thoughtful student of filter theory (or resolute experimenter) will have noticed that you can improve the smoothness of a filter by running it through itself multiple times, at the cost of increasing phase lag.
There is a complementary technique (called twicing by J.W. Tukey) which can be used to improve phase lag. If L stands for the operation of running data through a low pass filter, then twicing can be described by:
L' = L(time series) + L(time series - L(time series))
That is, we add a moving average of the difference between the input and the moving average to the moving average. This is algebraically equivalent to:
2L-L(L)
This is the Double Exponential Moving Average or DEMA , popularized by Patrick Mulloy in TASAC (January/February 1994).
In our taxonomy, DEMA has some phase lag (although it exponentially approaches 0) and is somewhat noisy, comparable to IE /2 indicator.
We will use these two techniques to construct our better moving average, after we explore the first one a little more closely.
Fixing Overshoot
An n-day EMA has smoothing constant alpha=2/(n+1) and a lag of (n-1)/2.
Thus EMA (3) has lag 1, and EMA (11) has lag 5. Figure 2 shows that, if I am willing to incur 5 days of lag, I get a smoother moving average if I run EMA (3) through itself 5 times than if I just take EMA (11) once.
This suggests that if EPMA and DEMA have 0 or low lag, why not run fast versions (eg DEMA (3)) through themselves many times to achieve a smooth result? The problem is that multiple runs though these filters increase their tendency to overshoot the data, giving an unusable result. This is because the amplitude response of DEMA and EPMA is greater than 1 at certain frequencies, giving a gain of much greater than 1 at these frequencies when run though themselves multiple times. Figure 3 shows DEMA (7) and EPMA(7) run through themselves 3 times. DEMA^3 has serious overshoot, and EPMA^3 is terrible.
The solution to the overshoot problem is to recall what we are doing with twicing:
DEMA (n) = EMA (n) + EMA (time series - EMA (n))
The second term is adding, in effect, a smooth version of the derivative to the EMA to achieve DEMA . The derivative term determines how hot the moving average's response to linear trends will be. We need to simply turn down the volume to achieve our basic building block:
EMA (n) + EMA (time series - EMA (n))*.7;
This is algebraically the same as:
EMA (n)*1.7-EMA( EMA (n))*.7;
I have chosen .7 as my volume factor, but the general formula (which I call "Generalized Dema") is:
GD (n,v) = EMA (n)*(1+v)-EMA( EMA (n))*v,
Where v ranges between 0 and 1. When v=0, GD is just an EMA , and when v=1, GD is DEMA . In between, GD is a cooler DEMA . By using a value for v less than 1 (I like .7), we cure the multiple DEMA overshoot problem, at the cost of accepting some additional phase delay. Now we can run GD through itself multiple times to define a new, smoother moving average T3 that does not overshoot the data:
T3(n) = GD ( GD ( GD (n)))
In filter theory parlance, T3 is a six-pole non-linear Kalman filter. Kalman filters are ones which use the error (in this case (time series - EMA (n)) to correct themselves. In Technical Analysis , these are called Adaptive Moving Averages; they track the time series more aggressively when it is making large moves.

Improved Percent Price Oscillator w/ Colored Candles[C2Trends]The Percent Price Oscillator(PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. Similar to the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence(MACD), the PPO is comprised of a signal line, a histogram and a centerline. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, centerline crossovers, and divergences. Because these signals are no different than those associated with MACD, this indicator can be read exactly as the MACD is read. The main differences between the PPO and MACD are: 1) PPO readings are not subject to the price level of the security. 2) PPO readings for different securities can be compared, even when there are large differences in the price. MACD readings for different securities cannot be compared when there are large differences in price.
PPO Calculations:
Percentage Price Oscillator(PPO): {(12-day EMA - 26-day EMA )/26-day EMA} x 100
Signal Line: 9-day EMA of PPO
PPO Histogram: PPO - Signal Line
iPPO includes everything from standard PPO plus:
1)Plots for PPO/Signal line crosses.
2)Plots for PPO/0 level crosses.
3)PPO/Signal line gap color fill.
4)PPO/0 level gap color fill.
4)Background fill for PPO/Signal line crosses.
5)Background fill for PPO/0 level crosses.
6)Price candles colored based on PPO indicator readings.
7)All plots, lines and fill colors can be turned on/off individually from the 'Input' tab of the iPPO indicator settings menu.
Indicator Notes:
1) When the green PPO line is above the 0 level, intermediate to long-term price momentum can be considered bullish(begins w/yellow cross, green background).
2) When the green PPO line is below the 0 level, intermeidate to long-term price momentum can be considered bearish(begins w/red cross, purple background).
3) Green PPO line above purple Signal line + both lines rising + both lines above 0 level = bullish short-term price momentum(begins w/green dot above 0 level, green highlight).
4) Green PPO line below purple Signal line + both lines falling + both lines above 0 level = loss of short-term bullish price momentum(begins w/purple dot above 0 level, purple highlight).
5) Green PPO line below purple Signal line + both lines falling + both lines below 0 level = bearish short-term price momentum(begins w/purple dot below 0 level, purple highlight).
6) Green PPO line above purple Signal line + both lines rising + both lines below 0 level = loss of short-term bearish price momentum(begins w/green dot below 0 level, green highlight).
7) Price candles are colored lime when the PPO line is above the Signal line and both lines are above the 0 level.

10) Price candles are colored purple when the PPO line is above the Signal line and both lines are below the 0 level.
11) Price candles are colored gray when the green PPO line is within a set % of the 0 level. This value can be set manually in the indicator settings. The default value is 0.25% to ensure
smooth candle color transition between timeframes, charts, sectors and markets. Adjust value up or down if gray candles are absent or too abundant. Gray candles should mostly only appear
during periods of price consolidation(flat/sideways price movement), or just before a significant move up or down in price. Indicator
