Range Detectorrange detector is built to identify real consolidation zones directly on the chart.
instead of marking every small pause as a range, the tool waits for price to remain contained between two boundaries for a minimum number of bars. the range must stay compact compared to volatility, avoid strong directional expansion, and remain valid until a confirmed breakout or structural widening occurs.
the goal is simple: help traders separate true sideways compression from normal market noise.
what the indicator detects
range detector searches for market areas where price is moving inside a controlled box instead of trending aggressively. a valid range is built from three main conditions:
price must stay contained between a top and bottom boundary
the height of the box must remain reasonable compared to atr
the structure must last long enough to confirm consolidation
once a range is active, the indicator displays:
top of the range
bottom of the range
midline equilibrium
range size classification
breakout markers
dashboard status
range size classification
each range is classified by height using atr units.
small range
medium range
large range
this helps understand whether the market is compressing tightly or building a wider consolidation structure. a tight range can be useful for breakout preparation, while a wider range can be useful for mean reversion, liquidity sweeps, and boundary reactions.
multi-timeframe detection
one of the most important features is the detection timeframe input.
by default, the detection timeframe is empty. this means the indicator uses the current chart timeframe.
for stronger structure, you can select a higher timeframe.
examples:
on a 5 minute chart, set detection timeframe to 1h to see larger intraday ranges
on a 15 minute chart, set detection timeframe to 4h to track stronger session structures
on a 1h chart, set detection timeframe to 1d to follow major daily compression zones
this is useful because a range detected on a higher timeframe is generally more important than a small range detected only on the chart timeframe.
when using mtf, the range engine runs directly on the selected detection timeframe. this means the boxes are not simply visual approximations from the lower timeframe. the range logic is calculated from the chosen timeframe structure.
how to use mtf correctly
for scalping, use a chart timeframe such as 1m, 3m, or 5m, then set the detection timeframe to 15m, 30m, or 1h.
for intraday trading, use a chart timeframe such as 5m, 15m, or 30m, then set the detection timeframe to 1h or 4h.
for swing trading, use a chart timeframe such as 1h or 4h, then set the detection timeframe to daily or weekly.
the higher the detection timeframe, the fewer ranges will appear, but the zones usually become more meaningful.
basic trading workflow
1. choose the chart timeframe
start with the timeframe you trade most often.
scalpers may use 1m to 5m.
intraday traders may use 15m to 1h.
swing traders may use 4h to daily.
2. set the detection timeframe
leave it empty for chart timeframe detection.
select a higher timeframe when you want cleaner and more structural ranges.
3. wait for an active range
when a range appears, price is currently moving inside a consolidation box. the top acts as upper range resistance, the bottom acts as lower range support, and the midline represents equilibrium.
4. study price behavior inside the box
near the top of the range, traders often watch for rejection, failed breakouts, or liquidity sweeps.
near the bottom of the range, traders often watch for absorption, failed breakdowns, or reversal behavior.
near the midline, price is usually less attractive because it is balanced between both sides.
5. wait for breakout confirmation
breakout markers appear only when price closes beyond the range boundary with the selected atr buffer.
a break above the range suggests upside expansion.
a break below the range suggests downside expansion.
the breakout buffer helps reduce false breaks by requiring extra distance beyond the range boundary.
main inputs explained
detection timeframe
selects the timeframe used to detect ranges. leave empty to use the current chart timeframe. use higher timeframes for cleaner structural ranges.
min consolidation bars
sets the minimum number of bars required before a range can be confirmed. higher values create fewer but stronger ranges. lower values make the tool more reactive.
reference atr length
controls the volatility reference used to evaluate range height and breakout buffer. a longer atr length gives a smoother volatility base.
max range height
defines the maximum allowed range height in atr units. if the box becomes too wide, the structure is no longer treated as a clean range.
breakout buffer
adds confirmation beyond the range boundary before a breakout is validated. increasing this value makes breakouts stricter.
small range threshold
defines the maximum atr height for a small range.
medium range threshold
defines the maximum atr height for a medium range. anything above this level is classified as large.
show small, medium, large
allows each range category to be shown or hidden independently.
show midline
displays the equilibrium level of the range.
show range labels
displays the range class and range height directly on the chart.
show breakout markers
displays breakout markers when price confirms an upside or downside break.
show dashboard
shows the live range dashboard.
dashboard position
moves the dashboard to any side or corner of the chart.
dashboard size
changes the text size of the dashboard.
range colors and opacity
each range category can be customized with its own color. fill opacity, border opacity, midline opacity, and label opacity can also be adjusted to match any chart style.
dashboard
the dashboard gives a fast reading of the current market state.
it shows:
active timeframe
current state
range height
top level
midline
bottom level
when no valid range is active, the dashboard shows that the market is trending or that no range is currently detected.
alerts
the indicator includes alerts for:
range started
range break up
range break down
these alerts can be used to monitor new compression zones and confirmed exits from consolidation.
example setups
scalping setup
chart timeframe: 5m
detection timeframe: 1h
min consolidation: 10 to 20 bars
breakout buffer: 0.20 to 0.35 atr
this setup keeps the chart reactive while using stronger higher timeframe structure.
intraday setup
chart timeframe: 15m
detection timeframe: 4h
min consolidation: 10 to 30 bars
breakout buffer: 0.25 to 0.50 atr
this setup is useful for session ranges and larger intraday breakouts.
swing setup
chart timeframe: 1h or 4h
detection timeframe: daily
min consolidation: 10 to 50 bars
breakout buffer: 0.35 to 0.75 atr
this setup focuses on major compression zones before larger directional moves.
practical interpretation
inside the range, the market is balanced.
above the range, buyers are attempting expansion.
below the range, sellers are attempting expansion.
the midline is the equilibrium zone. reactions near the top and bottom are usually more meaningful than signals in the middle.
range detector is not designed to predict direction by itself. it is designed to map consolidation, structure, compression, and breakout conditions so traders can build cleaner decisions around price behavior.
best used with:
market structure
volume analysis
session timing
liquidity sweeps
support and resistance
trend filters
risk management
risk note
no indicator guarantees a winning trade. always use risk management, wait for confirmation, and avoid trading during unclear market conditions.

ADXVMA Multi-TF Overlay & Alerts [HYPR-run]DESCRIPTION:
ADXVMA across three lookback periods on one chart. A moving average that
uses the ADX (Average Directional Index) as its smoothing factor; fast in
trends, flat in chop. Price crossing above or below a selected ADXVMA
fires a webhook-ready alert for automated execution.
Based on Linnsoft's ADXvma implementation, combining Chande's Variable
Moving Average (VIDYA) with Wilder's ADX as the volatility measure. When
ADX is high (strong trend), the MA tracks price closely. When ADX is low
(choppy), the MA barely moves. This makes it naturally adaptive without
manual adjustment.
DISCOVERING EDGE
Adaptive MAs are popular (KAMA, VIDYA, DEMA), but most still treat
every directional change as a trend signal, producing false signals. This indicator adds a fuzzy factor dead zone that creates a third state, "fuzzy flat" that must exceed a noise threshold
before registering a directional change. We found the fuzzy flat signal to be a powerful signal for confirming consolidation within a trend on shorter look back periods and with the longer period for identifying ranging distribution/accumulation regimes.
Fuzzy ADXVMA vs ADXVMA
The fuzzy dead zone forces a consolidation state (yellow
flat) where a pivot or trend change would present otherwise. When the MA finally turns green or
red, it exceeds the noise floor and considered a more reliable directional
commitment, not a minor fluctuation.
- Flat duration before the cross determines signal quality; XO after
15+ bars flat = base resolved (high conviction), XO after 3 bars
flat = noise (low conviction).
- 7-tier regime gradient (D Trend at score 5 down to Potential Chop
at 0) shows the trend proving itself bar by bar across multiple
lookbacks.
- Two alert systems with multi-layer filtering (not vanilla crossovers).
Regime-confirmed fires only at early pivots. Volatility-confirmed
fires only when bar participation validates the MA shift.
FEATURES
- Three lookbacks: short, long, weekly
- Fuzzy flat detection (dead zone prevents false trend changes in chop)
- Optional ATR volatility scaling (shorter period in high-vol regimes)
- Dashboard with 7-tier regime gradient and event badge
- Two alert systems with multi-layer filtering (not vanilla crossovers)
- Regime-confirmed: price vs ADXVMA, only at early pivots (score 1-2)
- Volatility-confirmed: ADXVMA momentum shift + ATR bar expansion
- Select which lookback triggers regime-confirmed alerts
- Color-coded: green (up), red (down), yellow (flat)
- Dashboard dark/light theme toggle for any chart background
HOW IT WORKS
ADX measures trend strength on a 0-1 scale and feeds it directly into
the MA smoothing factor. High ADX = MA tracks price. Low ADX = MA holds
still. The fuzzy factor adds a dead zone so tiny movements register as
flat instead of false trend changes. Three simultaneous lookbacks give
you short-term, medium-term, and weekly context without switching charts.
DASHBOARD
Regime state at a glance. The header row shows a badge that flags
conflicting events; the second row shows the current regime label with
a 7-tier color gradient; the third row shows direction pivot events.
ALERTS
Two independent alert systems, both multi-layer filtered. Regime-confirmed:
the regime pivot is the signal; price crossing the selected ADXVMA is just
the trigger. Only fires at early pivots (score 1-2), ignoring mid-trend
crosses entirely. Volatility-confirmed: the ATR bar expansion is the
signal; the ADXVMA momentum shift is the trigger. Only fires when the bar
shows real participation (high/low extends beyond open +/- ATR), ignoring
low-range bars. Both fire JSON payloads; works with any webhook receiver.

Hidden Markov Model Market Regimes [LuxAlgo]The Hidden Markov Model Market Regimes indicator uses a mathematical framework to identify whether the current market environment is in a Trending or Ranging state. By analyzing log returns and volatility through a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approach, the tool provides real-time probability estimates for each regime to help traders adapt their strategies to changing market conditions.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator is displayed in a separate pane below the price chart, showing two oscillating lines representing the probability (0% to 100%) of the market being in a "Trending" or "Ranging" regime.
Trending Regime (Blue): High values indicate a directional market with expanding volatility and persistent returns.
Ranging Regime (Gray): High values indicate a mean-reverting environment with lower volatility and compressed price action.
Neutral Zone: When both lines are near the 50% level, the model is uncertain about the current regime, suggesting a potential transition.
Traders can use these regimes to filter signals: trend-following strategies (like moving average crosses) typically perform better when the Trending probability is high, while mean-reversion strategies (like oscillators) are often more effective during high Ranging probability periods.
🔶 DETAILS
The script implements a simplified version of the HMM Forward Algorithm to estimate "hidden" market states from observable price data.
🔹 Observation Data
The model processes two main inputs:
Log Returns: Used to detect directional movement and momentum.
Volatility: Calculated via standard deviation to differentiate between high-activity trends and low-activity ranges.
🔹 The Forward Algorithm
The indicator calculates "Emission Likelihoods" based on Gaussian heuristics. It assumes that a Ranging state is characterized by low volatility and returns near zero, while a Trending state is characterized by higher volatility and significant price displacement.
The algorithm then combines these likelihoods with the "Transition Matrix" (which assumes regimes tend to persist over time) to calculate the posterior probability of each state. The Learning Rate setting determines how much weight is given to the newest bar's data versus the previous state's probability.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 HMM Settings
Lookback Period: Determines the window used to calculate mean returns and volatility benchmarks. A longer lookback provides more stable regime detection, while a shorter lookback is more reactive.
Learning Rate: Controls the sensitivity of the probability updates. A higher value makes the indicator switch between regimes faster, while a lower value filters out market noise.
🔹 Dashboard
Enable Dashboard: Toggles the visibility of the on-screen information table.
Position: Moves the dashboard to different corners of the chart (Top Right, Bottom Right, or Bottom Left).
Size: Adjusts the scale of the dashboard text and cells.

EMA/RMA clouds by AlpachinoRE-UPLOAD
The indicator is designed for faster trend determination and also provides hints about whether the trend is strong, weaker, or if a range is expected.
It consists of an exponential moving average (EMA) and a slower smoothed moving average (RMA). I chose these because EMA is the fastest and is respected by the market, while I discovered through practice that the market often respects RMA, and in some cases, even more than EMA. Their combination is necessary because I want to take advantage of the best qualities of both averages. Displaying averages based solely on the close values creates a simple line that the market might respect. However, this is often not the case. Market makers know that many traders still believe in the theory that closing above/below an EMA signals a valid new trend. They commonly apply this belief to EMA200. Traders think that if the market closes below EMA, it signals a downtrend. That’s not necessarily true. This misconception often traps inexperienced traders.
For this reason, my indicator does not include a separate line.
I use what are called envelopes. In other words, for both EMA and RMA, the calculation uses the high and low of the selected period, which can be chosen as an input in the indicator.
Why did I choose high and low?
To stabilize price fluctuations as much as possible, especially to allow enough space for the price to react to the moving average. This reaction occurs precisely between the high and low.
Modes:
EMA Cloud – This is the most common envelope in terms of averages. It shows the best reactions with a period of 50.
What should you observe: the alignment of the envelope or its slope.
Usage:
Breakouts through the entire envelope tend to be strong, which signals that the trend may change. However, what interests you most is that the first test of the envelope after a breakout is the most successful entry point for trades in the breakout direction.
In an uptrend, the first support will be the high of the envelope, and the second (let’s call it the "ultimate support") will be the low of the envelope.
If, during an uptrend, the market closes below the low, be cautious, as the trend may reverse.
If the envelope is broken, trade the retest of the envelope.
In general, if the price is above the envelope, focus on long trades; if it’s below the envelope, focus on short trades.
Double Cloud – Since we already know that highs and lows are more relevant for price respect, I utilized this in the double cloud. Here, I use calculations for EMA and RMA highs and EMA and RMA lows.
The core idea is that since the price often reacts more to RMA than EMA, I wanted to eliminate attempts by market makers to lure you into incorrect directions. By creating more space for the price to react to the highs or lows, I made the cloud fill the area between EMA and RMA highs. This serves as the last zone where the price can hold. If the price breaks above this high cloud during a return, this doesn’t happen randomly—you should pay attention, as it’s likely signaling a range or a trend change.
The same applies to the low cloud for EMA and RMA.
The advantage of the double cloud is that you can see two clouds that may move sideways. This can resemble two walls—and they really act as such.
Usage:
Let’s say we have a downtrend. The market seems to be experiencing a downtrend exhaustion. Here's the behavior you might observe:
The price returns to the EMA/RMA low; the first reaction may still have some strength, but each subsequent return will move higher and higher into the cloud with increasingly smaller rejections downward. This indicates the absorption of selling pressure by bullish pressure. Eventually, the price may close above the cloud, significantly disrupting the downtrend and potentially signaling a reversal.
A confirmation of the reversal is usually seen with a retest of the cloud and a bounce upward into an uptrend.
The second scenario, which you’ll often see, involves sharp and significant moves through both envelopes. This kind of move is the strongest signal of a trend change. However, do not jump into trades immediately—wait for the first retest, which is usually successful. Additional tests may not work, as the breakout might not signify a trend change but rather a range.
When the clouds are far apart, it signals a weak trend or that the market is in a range. You will see that this is generally true. When the clouds cross or overlap, their initial point of contact signals the start of a stronger trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the trend.

Weighted Average Strength Index (WASI)Weighted Average Strength Index (WASI)
The Weighted Average Strength Index (WASI) is a variation of the standard RSI. It uses the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) instead of the Running Moving Average (RMA), making it more responsive to recent price changes. The hypothesis is that this weighted calculation might better capture momentum shifts, providing traders with more timely insights.
How to Use:
Backtest WASI on your preferred assets and timeframes to evaluate its effectiveness for your strategy.
Use for trend following or mean reversion :
- Overbought/Oversold (OB/OS) levels can signal potential mean-reversion opportunities.
- Midline (50 level) crossovers can be used for trend-following strategies.
- WASI and its moving average (MA) crossovers offer additional trend-following or reversal signals.
Parameters and Their Functions:
WASI Length: Determines the number of periods for WASI calculation. A longer length smooths the indicator but increases lag, while a shorter length makes it more sensitive. (When in doubt, go longer).
Source: The price source for the calculation (e.g., close, open, high, or low).
MA Type: Specifies the type of moving average applied to the WASI (options include SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, and others).
MA Length: The number of periods for the moving average used on the WASI. Higher will lead to a smoother moving average.
Indicator Features:
Dynamic OB/OS Levels: Default overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels help identify potential reversal zones.
Midline Crossover: WASI crossing above or below the 50 level may indicate a trend shift.
WASI-MA Crossover: Crossovers between WASI and its moving average can signal trend-following or mean-reversion opportunities.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis or confirmation. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Z-Score RSI StrategyOverview
The Z-Score RSI Indicator is an experimental take on momentum analysis. By applying the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to a Z-score of price data, it measures how far prices deviate from their mean, scaled by standard deviation. This isn’t your traditional use of RSI, which is typically based on price data alone. Nevertheless, this unconventional approach can yield unique insights into market trends and potential reversals.
Theory and Interpretation
The RSI calculates the balance between average gains and losses over a set period, outputting values from 0 to 100. Typically, people look at the overbought or oversold levels to identify momentum extremes that might be likely to lead to a reversal. However, I’ve often found that RSI can be effective for trend-following when observing the crossover of its moving average with the midline or the crossover of the RSI with its own moving average. These crossovers can provide useful trend signals in various market conditions.
By combining RSI with a Z-score of price, this indicator estimates the relative strength of the price’s distance from its mean. Positive Z-score trends may signal a potential for higher-than-average prices in the near future (scaled by the standard deviation), while negative trends suggest the opposite. Essentially, when the Z-Score RSI indicates a trend, it reflects that the Z-score (the distance between the average and current price) is likely to continue moving in the trend’s direction. Generally, this signals a potential price movement, though it’s important to note that this could also occur if there’s a shift in the mean or standard deviation, rather than a meaningful change in price itself.
While the Z-Score RSI could be an insightful addition to a comprehensive trading system, it should be interpreted carefully. Mean shifts may validate the indicator’s predictions without necessarily indicating any notable price change, meaning it’s best used in tandem with other indicators or strategies.
Recommendations
Before putting this indicator to use, conduct thorough backtesting and avoid overfitting. The added parameters allow fine-tuning to fit various assets, but be careful not to optimize purely for the highest historical returns. Doing so may create an overly tailored strategy that performs well in backtests but fails in live markets. Keep it balanced and look for robust performance across multiple scenarios, as overfitting is likely to lead to disappointing real-world results. Strategy
Range Detector [LuxAlgo]The Range Detector indicator aims to detect and highlight intervals where prices are ranging. The extremities of the ranges are highlighted in real-time, with breakouts being indicated by the color changes of the extremities.
🔶 USAGE
Ranging prices are defined by a period of stationarity, that is where prices move within a specific range.
Detecting ranging markets is a common task performed manually by traders. Price breaking one of the extremities of a range can be indicative of a new trend, with an uptrend if price breaks the upper range extremity, and a downtrend if price breaks the lower range extremity.
Ranges are highlighted as zones and are set retrospectively, that is the starting point of a range is offset in the past. The exact moment a range is detected is highlighted by a gray background color. The average between the maximum/minimum of a zone is also highlighted as a dotted line and is also set retrospectively.
The range extremities are set in real-time, blue extremities indicate the range extremities were not broken, green extremities indicate that price broke the upper range extremity, while red extremities indicate price broke the lower range extremity.
Extremities are extended until a new range is detected, allowing past ranges extremities can be used as future support/resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
The detection algorithm used to detect ranges tests if all the prices within a user-set window are all within two extremities. These extremities are determined by the mean of the detection window plus/minus an ATR value.
When a new range is detected, the script checks if this new range overlaps with a previously detected range, if this is the case, both ranges are merged into one; updating the extremities of the previous range.
This can be observed with the real-time extremities changing within a highlighted zone.
🔶 SETTINGS
Minimum Range Length: Minimum amount of bars needed to detect a range.
Range Width: Multiplicative factor for the ATR used to detect new ranges. Lower values detect ranges with a lower width. Using higher values might return false positives.
ATR Length: ATR length used to determine the range width.

Moving Average - TREND POWER v1.1- (AS)0)NOTE:
This is first version of this indicator. It's way more complicated than it should be. Check out Moving Average-TREND POWER v2.1-(AS), its waaaaay less complicated and might be better.Enjoy...
1)INTRODUCTION/MAIN IDEA:
In simpliest form this script is a trend indicator that rises if Moving average if below price or falling if above and going back to zero if there is a crossover with a price. To use this indicator you will have to adjust settings of MAs and choose conditions for calculation.
While using the indicator we might have to define CROSS types or which MAs to use. List of what cross types are defined in the script and Conditiones to choose from.The list will be below.
2) COMPOSITION:
-MA1 can be defined by user in settings, possible types: SMA, EMA, RMA, HMA, TEMA, DEMA, LSMA, WMA.
-MA2 is always ALMA
3) OVERLAY:
Default is false but if you want to see MA1/2 on chart you can change code to true and then turn on overlay in settings. Most plot settings are avalible only in OV=false.
if OV=true possible plots ->MA1/2, plotshape when choosen cross type
if OV=false -> main indicator,TSHs,Cross counter
4)PRESETS :
Indicator has three modes that can be selected in settings. First two are presets and do not require selecting conditions as they set be default.
-SIMPLE - most basic
-ABSOLUTE - shows only positive values when market is trending or zero when in range
-CUSTOM - main and the most advanced form that will require setting conditions to use in calculating trend
4.1)SIMPLE – this is the most basic form of conditions that uses only First MA. If MA1 is below selected source (High/Low(High for Uptrend and Low for DNtrend or OHLC4) on every bar value rises by 0.02. if it above Low or OHLC4 it falls by 0.02 with every bar. If there is a cross of MA with price value is zero. This preset uses CROSS_1_ULT(list of all cross types below)
4.2) ABSOLUTE – does not show direction of the trend unlike others and uses both MA1 and MA2. Uses CROSS type 123_ULT
4.3) CUSTOM – here we define conditions manually. This mode is defined in parts (5-8 of description)
5)SETTINGS:
SOURCE/OVERLAY(line1) – select source of calculation form MA1/MA2, select for overlay true (look point 3)
TRESHOLDS(line2). – set upper and lower THS, turn TSHs on/off
MA1(line3) – Length/type of MA/Offset(only if MA type is LSM)
MA2(line4) – length/offset/sigma -(remember to set ma in the way that in Uptrend MA2MA1 in DNtrend)
Use faster MA types for short term trends and slower types / bigger periods for longer term trends, defval MA1/2 settings
are pretty much random so using them is not recomended.
CROSSshape(line5) – choose which cross type you want to plot on chart(only in OV=true) or what type you want to use in counting via for loops,
CROSScount(line6) – set lookback for type of cross choosen above
BOOLs in lines 5 and 6 - plotshape if OV=true/plot CROSScount histogram (if OV=false)
Lines 7 and 8 – PRESET we want to use /SRC for calculation of indicator/are conditions described below/which MAs to use/Condition for
reducing value t 0 - (if PRESET is ABSOLUTE or SIMPLE only SRC should be set(Line 8 does not matter if not CUSTOM))
5)SOURCE for CONDS:
Here you can choose between H/L and OHLC. If H/L value grow when MAlow. If OHLC MAOHLC. H/L is set by default and recommended. This can be selected for all presets not only CUSTOM
6)CROSS types LIST:
“1 means MA1, 2 is MA2 and 3 I cross of MA1/MA2. L stands for low and H for high so for example 2H means cross of MA2 and high”
NAME -DEFINITION Number of possible crosses
1L - cross of MA1 and low 1
1H - cross of MA1 and high 1
1HL - cross of MA1 and low or MA1 and high 2 -1L/1H
2L - cross of MA2 and low 1
2H - cross of MA2 and high 1
2HL - cross of MA2 and low or MA1 and high 2 -2L/2H
12L - cross of MA1 and low or MA2 and low 2 -1L/2L
12H - cross of MA1 and high or MA2 and high 2 -1H/2H
12HL - MA1/2 and high/low 4 -1H/1L/2H/2L
3 -cross of MA1 and MA2 1
123HL -crosses from 12HL or 3 5 -12HL/3
1_ULT - cross of MA1 with any of price sources(close,low,high,ohlc4 etc…)
2_ULT - cross of MA2 with any of price sources(close,low,high,ohlc4 etc…)
123_ULT – all crosses possible of MA1/2 (all of the above so a lot)
7)CRS CONDS:
“conditions to reduce value back to zero”
>/< - 0 if indicator shows Uptrend and there’s a cross with high of selected MA or 0 if in DNtrend and cross with low. Better for UP/DN trend detection
ALL – 0 if cross of MA with high or low no matter the trend, better for detecting consolidation
ULT – if any cross of selected MA, most crosses so goes to 0 most often
8)MA selection and CONDS:
-MA1: only MA1 is used,if MA1 below price value grows and the other way around
MA1price =-0.02
-MA2 – only MA2 is used, same conditions as MA1 but using MA2
MA2price =-0.02
-BOTH – MA1 and MA2 used, grows when MA1 if below, grows faster if MA1 and MA2 are below and fastest when MA1 and MA2 are below and MA2price=-0.02
-MA1 and MA2 >price=-0.03
-MA1 and MA2 ?price and MA2>MA1=-0.04
9)CONDITIONS SELECTION SUMMARRY:
So when CUSTOM we choose :
1)SOURCE – H/L or OHLC
2)MAs – MA1/MA2/BOTH
3)CRS CONDS (>/<,ALL,ULT)
So for example...
if we take MA1 and ALL value will go to zero if 1HL
if MA1 and >/< - 0 if 1L or 1H (depending if value is positive or negative).(1L or 1H)
If ALL and BOTH zero when 12HL
If BOTH and ULT value goes back to zero if Theres any cross of MA1/MA2 with price or cross of MA1 and MA2.(123_ULT)
If >/< and BOTH – 0 if 12L in DNtrend or 12H if UPtrend
10) OTHERS
-script was created on EURUSD 5M and wasn't tested on different markets
-default values of MA1/MA2 aren't optimalized so do not
-There might be a logical error in the script so let me know if you find it (most probably in 'BOTH')
-thanks to @AlifeToMake for help
-if you have any ideas to improve let me know

True Trend Oscillator [wbburgin]The True Trend oscillator identifies trending or ranging markets with a stochastic ATR and RSI. Here are some examples for how it can be used.
Uptrends
If the candlesticks are lime green, this signals an uptrend. On the oscillator, you can identify an uptrend if the bull strength (the green line) is above the bear strength (the red line). The strength of the uptrend and the downtrend can be found by looking at the slope of these lines.
Downtrends
If the candlesticks are red, this signals a downtrend. On the oscillator, notice how the bear strength line is above the bull strength line.
Ranging Markets and Pullbacks
The True Trend oscillator can also be used to identify ranging markets or pullbacks. Let's look at the previous example again:
If you notice that the bull and bear lines are bouncing above the red weak-trend zone (as in the example above), this signals an extended trend. On the contrary, when the bull and bear lines fall into the weak-trend zone, this may indicate a larger pullback or a range to look to enter a trade again, as in this example, where the ranging candles in gray demonstrate temporary pullbacks in a larger bullish trend:
Ranges can also occur before trend reversals, so a range may also indicate a smart time to secure profits.
You can customize the ranging threshold in the settings. It can be set from 0-100 because the indicator is a stochastic.
Hope you all find this indicator useful! Indicator
Drawdown and Drawback || Ranging Hey!
So this indicator tries to spot ranges;
Above the zero line is the data from green candles and below the zero line is the data from the red candles;
When the white area is > than the black area, it indicates that the DrawBack is higher than the DrawDown;
This might work counterintuitively for some people because, for a bullish candle, this means it has to go down for the indicator to recognize it as “good”/ see it as a DrawBack value;
The same is true for a bearish candle, the price has to move up after for it to be seen as a DrawBack value;
There are a few input values:
Length_: This is how many bars a candle gets for the price to move in, the default is 8 bars, so after a bar is formed, from the following 8 bars the DrawBack/DrawDown is saved;
EMA_Length: This is the EMA length, you can change the EMA length and also the MA variant, so you have full flexibility about what might work best for you;
RB_Size: This is how many points a Real Body of a candle has to have before it gets registered within the indicator, what I found it, is that if you put this too low your data gets ruined by candles that have 1-5 points if you use it on a low TimeFrame, but if you want to use it on higher timeframes you maybe have to make the default a bit higher.
Everything is plotted with an Offset of 1, I like it this way so you get a realistic view of the market as you will -most likely- place trades on the next candle either way not on the current candle. But that is just my opinion.
I also added 2 yellow Hlines for visual purposes to see if they were within a certain boundary, see if these add anything for yourself, because they can also make it look a bit messy;
If you have any questions about the code or the indicator itself, feel free to ask them!
I hope it helps at least one person ;)

Donchian Channels+Standard Donchian Channels, this includes a Trend EMA which can be configured and the channels will use to give buy and sell signals. The channels are also colored in such a way to indicate a trend reversals. My favorite part that sets this apart from others is, if using the bClose option (which I recommend you do) the trend will not reverse until there is a close above/below the previous channel high/low. i.e. a reversal into an uptrend requires the current bar to close above the previous upper channel rather than just a new high.
The coloring of the current trend allows for a quick read of current market conditions and I use this on any timeframe across all forms of charts (forex stock, futures , crypto, etc). When taking one of the signals I use the opposite channel as the stop loss (when buying use bottom, and selling use top channel)
Update 1:
- Added my name to the code
- Updated the picture to show off the indicator better
- Raised the brightness of the fill color a bit, looks nicer I think
As a warning: I have obviously hand picked this picture to really show off this indicator's power to work in a trending market. Donchian Channels are a trending indicator and work best in trending markets with decent pull backs. If there are multiple signals going in each direction, it is a choppy market and you should stay out until it starts trending again. I generally use a 1:1.5 risk to reward ratio but sometimes will stretch it to 1:2 if it is a nice trade and I feel the market is in my favor as you can see from the trades placed in the picture (and I use that method for any commodity / chart and timeframe). I use the close of the white candle and then (since they are trades going short) I use the upper Donchian Channel as my stop loss.
I personally like to have the lines and labels turned off and enable all other options. Labels are just there to really stand out so you don't miss the white candle indication for a trade. OH! Also, I've had comments from friends that the white candles are hard to see, I turn off my candle borders in settings; makes it super easy to see them then. I turn lines off as the fill does the job well enough and it seems cleaner in my eyes.
If you'd like to see this picture on your chart, it is Micro E-Mini S&P 500 Futures from July 10, 2022 @ 18:00 on the 1-min chart.
just now
Update 2:
- Added day trading time highlights
- Added ranging market indicator (This I'm still working on so use at your own discretion, it's intended purpose is to tell when the Donchian Channels are not going to give great signals and to use a ranging indicator instead)
- Added multi-timeframe trend screener (handy if you want to quickly see the trend direction (based on the Trend EMA you set) of several time frames without having to change charts). It will draw in the bottom right of the chart. Indicator

Market Bias (CEREBR)Hello Everyone. I hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since I posted my first script here, and I got a lot of response from that.
So, I thought I should share this script also to everyone, and anyone that may find it useful. Personally, I use it to tell the general market conditions.
Here's how I works : The script tries to determine the overall direction of the market, using smoothed Heiken Ashi candles. The coloring system (using bright and dark colors) is an attempt to detect strong market and weak market conditions. There's also an oscillator within the script, but for now it isn't plotted. Credits to @jackvmk, I used part of his open-script code in this indicator.\
I have considered using the slope of the indicator plot as a filter for ranging market conditions. The plot goes relatively flat in 'flat' markets. However, I have not done anything about that yet. Maybe some other time.
I hope you find this useful. If you find a way to use this, please share it with the community in the comment section.
NOTE: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINANCIAL ADVICE. You'll have to make your studies and come up with a way to apply this indicator to your trading style and strategy.
By the way, I would be going with the name 'CEREBR' for any subsequent scripts I release from now on.
Happy Trading, guys. Indicator

Price Action IndexI've created a simple oscillator which I think does a good job of easily showing you when price is worth watching or not. I think all too often you get stuck looking at something like an RSI and end up trading noise.
From my observations and experiences, I've found that there are 2 major catalysts for price movement--
Price is either trending and reaches a top or bottom, or
Price is consolidating and ready to make a move in some direction
These movements can be seen quite well from a Bollinger Band, which is what mostly gave me the inspiration. When I watch a chart with a BB on it I see that either you're looking to trade price moving out of a squeeze or riding price up/down the band until it crosses over and makes a move to the moving average.
My solution was to multiply the direction of price by the strength of its deviation.
Price gets converted into a signal between -1.0 (bottom of the range) and 1.0 (top of the range)
Standard Deviation gets converted into a stochastic signal between 0 (next to no deviation from mean) and 100 (highest deviation in lookback)
These 2 get multiplied by each other
The result tells you if price action is trending bullish and if its approaching max strength (perhaps Overbought), example: Price is hitting highs (1.0) and deviation is also at its highest (100) = 100, opposite for bearish
Result can also tell you if price is at the top of the range but the deviation is so tiny and we're mostly pinned to the mean (1.0 * 5 = only 5)
How to Trade this Indicator--
If the indicator is stuck near the middle and purple:
- Don't make directional trades or you'll be eaten alive by the chop
- Good idea to sell options, Iron Condors/Butterflies, etc
- Wait for a move to breakout --> the purple will fade away and give way to a direction
--- As in all trading scenarios, be mindful of fakeouts/short moves to one direction that very quickly get reversed
If the indicator is heading higher:
- This would indicate there is a bull trend going on, get long
- If we are reaching the overbought area, this is an ideal place to take profits or look at spreads like Bearish Call Spreads (sell calls)
- I think you can make your own determination of when to sell by either selling when we're in the overbought area (if it reaches there) or staying bullish so long as it is above the zone
If the indicator is heading lower:
- Bear trend, shorting is possible
- Can use this as a contrarian signal to buy lows
A couple of charts with the indicator and a purple squeeze box I've drawn (can sometimes get noisy in real-time, but hindsight is 20/20)--
Bitcoin on Daily with default 20 length
Gamestop on 30 minute time frame with 100 length
Please feel free to use this indicator for your trading or your own indicators. This particular script is very stripped down/bare bones from what I have been working on as an ongoing project. If PulseWire ever returns scripts you can sell, I would probably open that up for a small premium. Indicator
