CISD with Projections (Just)# CISD with Dynamic Projection Levels
This indicator automatically detects **Change in State of Delivery (CISD)** and projects measured price targets based on the completed impulse.
### Features
* **Automatic CISD Detection**
* Identifies both bullish and bearish CISD setups.
* Option to display **Bullish Only**, **Bearish Only**, or **Both**.
* **Dynamic Projection Levels**
* Automatically calculates the impulse range from the CISD level to the swing extreme.
* Projects customizable target levels using user-defined multipliers.
* Example: `1,2,3,4` creates 1R, 2R, 3R, and 4R projection levels.
* **Custom Projection Input**
* Enter any projection values as a comma-separated list.
* Examples:
* `0.5,1,1.5,2`
* `1,2,3`
* `2,4,6`
* **Base Swing Reference**
* Displays the swing extreme used to calculate all projection levels, making it easy to visualize the measured move.
* **Automatic Cleanup**
* Projection levels remain active until price revisits the originating swing.
* Once the swing is mitigated, the entire CISD setup—including the CISD line, base level, projection lines, and labels—is automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
* **Maximum Active Setups**
* Control how many recent CISD structures remain visible using the **Max CISD Lines** setting.
* **Customizable Appearance**
* Separate bullish and bearish colors.
* Adjustable CISD line width.
* Optional projection display.
### How It Works
1. The indicator detects a valid CISD.
2. It measures the distance between the CISD level and the swing extreme.
3. Using that range, it projects user-defined target levels above bullish setups or below bearish setups.
4. All projections remain visible until the originating swing is revisited, after which the setup is automatically deleted.
This indicator is designed for traders who use CISD as part of their market structure analysis and want objective projection levels for planning potential targets while maintaining a clean chart.

Futures Session TWAP + Bands - CFD ChartsAn anchored TWAP (time-weighted average price) with 1/2/3-sigma bands that
knows when the real market is actually open — built for CFD and cash-index
charts whose 24h quotes distort classic session averages.
What makes it original: a TWAP weighs every bar equally, so on a 24h CFD chart
the thin overnight bars count as much as the liquid session and drag the line
away from the number execution desks reference. This indicator pulls the
volume of the auto-detected futures contract and uses it as a SESSION GATE:
only bars where the future actually traded are counted. It also plots an
optional futures-volume VWAP on the same anchor, so the TWAP-vs-VWAP spread
becomes readable at a glance — that spread is the point of the pair.
How it works:
- TWAP = equal-weight average of the chart's price (hlc3 by default) over the
anchor period (session/week/month); bands from the time-weighted variance.
- Session gate (optional, on by default): bars without futures volume are
skipped, so the TWAP covers the real trading session. Only session/volume
information is borrowed from the future — the price stays this chart's
price, so the futures-vs-cash basis cannot distort the level.
- The futures contract is auto-detected from the chart symbol (DAX/GER40 ->
FDAX, NAS100 -> NQ, US30 -> YM, UK100 -> Z, US500 -> ES), or set manually.
- Optional "Daily anchor = futures trading day" resets at the futures day
change instead of CFD broker midnight, matching the sibling VWAP tool.
- A status label shows the active source, the gate state and the current
VWAP-minus-TWAP spread.
How to use it: the TWAP is the fair time-average of the session — the line an
evenly-sliced execution would achieve. Compare it with the futures-volume
VWAP: VWAP above TWAP means volume was concentrated above the time average
(participants paid up), VWAP below TWAP means volume traded below it. The two
lines glued together signals balanced rotation; a widening spread marks
one-sided participation. The 2/3-sigma bands frame statistically stretched
zones relative to the session mean. Check the status label once after loading
to confirm the futures feed is active.

LSMA SD | GForgeLSMA SD | GForge
LSMA SD is a trend-following oscillator built for swing trading on higher timeframes. It generates rules-based long and exit signals by measuring where price sits within a statistically-defined volatility envelope anchored to a regression-based trend line.
Core Calculation
The basis line is a Least Squares Moving Average. Unlike a standard moving average which weights past prices, LSMA computes the mathematically optimal straight-line fit across a defined lookback window. This means the basis reflects the actual gradient of a trend — its slope tells you the rate and direction of price movement, not a smoothed echo of where price has been. A short EMA pass is applied to the raw LSMA output as a robustness measure, absorbing single-bar snap artifacts that occur when outlier candles enter or exit the regression window. This is not a smoothing aesthetic — it directly addresses a known fragility in raw LinReg endpoints.
The default source is hlc3 — the average of high, low, and close — rather than close alone. This distributes the regression input across the full bar range, reducing sensitivity to end-of-session price mechanics such as stop runs and last-minute order flow that can distort the trend line without reflecting genuine directional movement.
A Standard Deviation envelope is then constructed around the LSMA basis at a fixed multiplier. The band width is driven entirely by actual price volatility — it widens during high-volatility periods and tightens during quiet ones. There is no secondary adaptive scaling layer. This is intentional: additional dynamic scaling introduces a second noisy signal on top of the basis movement, which in practice degrades signal quality.
The Oscillator
The oscillator expresses where price currently sits within the SD bands on a 0–100 scale. A reading of 0 means price is at the lower band. A reading of 100 means price is at the upper band. A reading of 50 means price is sitting directly on the LSMA trend line itself — the neutral zone between the two signal thresholds represents price consolidating around the regression basis.
Long signals fire when the oscillator crosses above the long threshold (default 74), meaning price has broken decisively into the upper band zone — a momentum confirmation in the direction of the trend, not a mean-reversion trigger. Exit and short signals fire when the oscillator crosses below the short threshold (default 33).
This is a trend-continuation system, not a reversal indicator.
Parameters
The indicator is intentionally low-parameter. LSMA Length sets the regression window. StdDev Length sets the band width lookback and can differ from the LSMA length. StdDev Multiplier sets the fixed band scale. Endpoint Smoothing controls how aggressively window-edge artifacts are absorbed — setting it to 1 disables it entirely. Fewer parameters means less surface area for curve-fitting to historical data.
Default settings are optimised for BTC on the 1D timeframe. Optimize thresholds and lengths for different assets and timeframes before use.
Risk Warning
This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Past performance, including any results visible on historical bars, does not guarantee or imply future returns. All trading involves risk. You should not make trading decisions based solely on any single indicator. Always apply independent analysis and appropriate risk management.

CUSUM Volatility BreakoutCUSUM Volatility Breakout A statistical trend-detection and volatility-breakout indicator that identifies subtle momentum shifts earlier than traditional tools.
OVERVIEW
The CUSUM control chart is a statistical tool designed to detect small, gradual shifts from a target value. In trading, it helps identify the early stages of a trend, giving traders a heads-up before momentum becomes obvious on standard price charts. By spotting these subtle movements, the CUSUM Volatility Breakout indicator (CUSUM VB) can highlight potential breakout opportunities earlier than traditional indicators. In other words, a statistical trend detection & breakout indicator.
Copyright © 2025 CoinOperator
HOW IT WORKS
CUSUM VB uses a combination of differenced price series, volume normalization, and dynamic control limits:
CUSUM Principle: Tracks cumulative deviations of price from a zero reference. Signals occur when cumulative deviations exceed a control limit shown on the chart and clears any enabled filters.
Adaptive Volatility: H adjusts automatically based on short- vs long-term ATR ratios, allowing faster detection during volatile periods and reduced false signals in calm markets.
Volume Weighting (optional): Amplifies price CUSUM values during high-volume bars to prioritize market participation strength.
ATR Confirmation (optional): Ensures breakouts are accompanied by expanded volatility.
Bollinger Band Squeeze Integration (optional): Confirms trend breakouts by detecting volatility contraction and release shown on the chart as triangles.
Signals:
Arrows on the price chart mark the bars where trades are actually filled, based on conditions detected on the prior signal bar.
Long Entry: Confirmed positive CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Short Entry: Confirmed negative CUSUM breach (price & volume) with BB breakout (signal bar).
Exit Signals: Triggered automatically by opposite-side signals.
Alerts, when created, fire on the bars where fills occur.
CHART COMPONENTS
CUSUM Upper Price (CU Price) and CUSUM Lower Price (CL Price) are green/red circles for confirmed signals.
● Rapid upward accumulation of CU Price indicates a developing bullish trend.
● Rapid downward accumulation of CL Price indicates a developing bearish trend.
Decision/Control limits (UCL/LCL, red)
Zero line (reference for the differenced price series baseline)
Optional BB triangles and volume CUSUM
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION
Differenced Price Series
Differenced Price Length and Lag
Increase differencing lag or window length → Increases variance of residuals → Wider control limits (UCL/LCL) → Slower to trigger.
Decrease lag or window → Tighter limits, more responsive to short-term regime shifts.
CUSUM Parameters
Volume-Weighted CUSUM
NOTE : Uses price length if 'Confirm Price with Volume' is disabled, otherwise will use volume length.
Amplifies CUSUM price responses during high-volume bars and reduces them during low-volume bars. This links trend detection to market participation strength.
Volume-Weighted CUSUM doesn’t replace price confirmation with volume; it modulates it by volume intensity, amplifying price signals when participation is strong and suppressing them when weak.
Recommended when analyzing assets with consistent volume patterns (e.g., stocks, major futures).
Disable for low-liquidity or irregular-volume instruments (e.g., crypto pairs, small-cap stocks).
ATR Confirmation
Enable this feature to confirm CUSUM signals only when price deviations are accompanied by higher-than-normal volatility. The indicator compares current ATR to a smoothed ATR to detect volatility expansion. This helps distinguish true breakouts from low-volatility noise and reduces false signals during quiet periods.
Adjust the ATR lookback length, smoothing length, and expansion factor to control sensitivity. Rule of thumb:
ATR Length ≈ 0.5 × differenced price length to 1.5 × differenced price length gives balanced sensitivity.
ATR Smoothing 5–10 bars.
ATR Expansion 5% to 50%.
CUSUM Input Mode
Select how CUSUM processes differenced price and log-normalized volume — either directly (Txfrm Data) or as deviations from a short-term EMA baseline (Residuals):
Txfrm Data = transformed input: differenced price & log-normalized volume as input for CUSUM (larger swings, more frequent control limit breaches)
Residuals = deviation from short-term EMA baseline (smaller swings, fewer control limit breaches, but higher signal quality).
Residual EMA Length: Defines how quickly the residual baseline adapts to recent differenced price moves. Shorter = more reactive; longer = smoother baseline. Keep EMA length moderate; over-smoothing can distort timing.
Control Sensitivity (K)
Increase K → Less sensitive → CUSUM accumulates slower → Fewer signals, captures only major trends.
Decrease K → More sensitive → CUSUM accumulates faster → More signals, captures minor swings too.
Reset Mode : Method of resetting CUSUM values.
Immediate Reset: Reset both immediately after any signal breach. Traditional SPC.
Opposite-Side Reset: Reset only the opposite side when a valid signal fires. Best for ongoing trend tracking.
Decay Reset: Gradually reduce CUSUM values toward zero with a decay factor each bar. Maintains trend memory but allows slow “forgetting.”
Threshold Reset: Reset only if CUSUM returns below a small threshold (10 % of H). Filters noise without full wipe.
No Reset / Continuous: Never reset; instead track running totals. Long-term cumulative bias measurement.
Conflict Handling : Method of handling conflicting signals.
Ignore Both: Discards both when overlap occurs.
Prioritize Latest: Chooses the direction implied by the most recent close.
Prioritize Stronger: Compares absolute magnitudes of CU Price vs CL Price.
Average Resolve: Looks at the difference; small overlap → ignore, otherwise pick direction by sign.
Sequential Confirm: Requires N consecutive same-direction signals before confirmation.
Volume Parameters (Optional)
Amplification Factor
Adjusts volume sensitivity and effectively rescales the log series of volume to a comparable magnitude with price changes.
Since price and volume are normalized in a compatible way, the amplification factor is used instead of independent K and H values for volume.
Bollinger Bands (Optional)
Lookback Synchronization
BB Lookback (for CUSUM): Number of bars that define a window for the BB signal to look back for the CUSUM signal.
CUSUM Lookback (for BB): Number of bars that define a window for the CUSUM signal to look back for the BB signal.
Both can be enabled for stricter alignment.
Relationship Between K, H, ARL₀ and ARL₁
H (max) is usually the only H you need to adjust. With everything else being constant, increasing either K or H (max) generally increases both ARL₀ and ARL₁ : higher thresholds reduce false alarms but slow detection, and lower thresholds do the opposite.
Increase Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ increases (safer, fewer false alarms)
ARL₁ decreases or stays small (faster detection)
Control limits slightly expand to achieve separation
Strategy becomes more selective and stable
Decrease Min Target ARL ratio →
ARL₀ decreases (more false alarms tolerated)
ARL₁ increases (slower detection tolerated)
Control limits tighten
Strategy becomes more sensitive but lower quality
The ARL Ratio of ARL₀ / ARL₁ is typically between 3 and 8. This implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 'Min Target ARL ratio' × differenced price length window.
Example:
"Min Target ARL ratio = 4.0"
⇒ implies you want your ARL₀ (false-alarm interval) ≈ 4 × differenced price length.
Assume price length = 50 (typical differencing window).
ARL ratio = 4.0 → target ARL = 4 × 50 = 200 bars.
● On a 6-hour chart (≈4 bars/day) → ~50 days between expected false alarms (on average).
● On a daily chart → ~200 trading days between false alarms (very conservative).
ARL ratio = 8.0 → target ARL = 400 bars → twice as infrequent signals vs ratio=4.
ARL ratio = 2.0 → target ARL = 100 bars → about half the inter-signal interval.
Another way to think about it: probability of a false alarm on any bar ≈ 1 / target ARL. If you want ~1% of bars producing alarms, target ARL ≈ 100.
QUICK START
Start with the defaults.
Set price series → length/order/lag
Configure CUSUM thresholds → K, H min/max
1. Adjust the price differencing lag/window.
2. Verify that it captures real price inflection points without overreacting to bar noise.
Enable optional filters → Volume, ATR, BB
The optional Bollinger Bands squeeze usually works best if used with CUSUM Input Mode = Txfrm Data.
Monitor CUSUM chart → CU Price, CL Price, thresholds, zero line
Act on signals → data window / chart triangles
Adjust sensitivity → H (max), K, lengths
Monitor ARL ratio and CUSUM behavior for fine-tuning
Note : When you’ve finalized the length, lag, and order of the Price Difference, as well as the Ln(Vol) Series of “Confirm Price with Volume” if enabled, then pass both through the Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) mean reversion test to ensure they are stationary, i.e., mean reverting. You can find a ready-made indicator for such use at . Many thanks to tbtkg for this indicator.

Luxy VWAP Magic - MTF Projection EngineThis indicator transforms the classic VWAP into a comprehensive trading system. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, you get everything in one place: multi-timeframe analysis, statistical bands, momentum detection, volume profiling, session tracking, and divergence signals.
What Makes This Different
Traditional VWAP indicators show a single line. This tool treats VWAP as a foundation for complete market analysis. The indicator automatically detects your asset type (stocks, crypto, forex, futures) and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Crypto traders get 24/7 session tracking. Stock traders get proper market hours handling. Everyone gets institutional-grade analytics.
Anchor Period Options
The anchor period determines when VWAP resets and recalculates. You have three categories of options:
Time-Based Anchors:
Session - Resets at market open. Best for intraday stock trading where you want fresh VWAP each day.
Day - Resets at midnight UTC. Standard option for most traders.
Week / Month / Quarter / Year - Longer reset periods for swing traders and position traders who want broader context.
Rolling Window Anchors:
Rolling 5D - A sliding 5-day window that never resets. Solves the Monday problem where weekly VWAP equals daily VWAP on first day of week.
Rolling 21D - Approximately one month of trading data in continuous calculation. Excellent for crypto and forex markets that trade 24/7 without clear session breaks.
Event-Based Anchors:
Dividends - Resets on ex-dividend dates. Track institutional cost basis from dividend events.
Splits - Resets on stock split dates. Useful for analyzing post-split trading behavior.
Earnings - Resets on earnings report dates. See where volume-weighted trading occurred since last quarterly report.
Standard Deviation Bands
Three sets of bands surround the main VWAP line:
Band 1 (Aqua) - Plus and minus one standard deviation. Approximately 68% of price action occurs within this range under normal distribution. Touches suggest minor extension.
Band 2 (Fuchsia) - Plus and minus two standard deviations. Only 5% of trading should occur outside this range statistically. Touches here indicate significant overextension and high probability of mean reversion.
Band 3 (Purple) - Plus and minus three standard deviations. Touches are rare (0.3% probability) and represent extreme conditions. Often marks climax moves or panic selling/buying.
Each band can be toggled independently. Most traders show Band 1 by default and add Band 2 and 3 for specific setups or volatile instruments.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP System
The MTF section plots previous period VWAPs as horizontal support and resistance levels:
Daily VWAP - Previous day's final VWAP value. Key intraday reference level.
Weekly VWAP - Previous week's final VWAP. Important for swing traders.
Monthly VWAP - Previous month's final VWAP. Institutional benchmark level.
Quarterly VWAP - Previous quarter's final VWAP. Major support/resistance for position traders.
Previous Day VWAP - Yesterday's closing VWAP specifically, separate from current daily calculation.
The Confluence Zone percentage setting determines how close multiple VWAPs must be to trigger a confluence alert. When two or more timeframe VWAPs converge within this threshold, you get a high-probability support/resistance zone.
Session VWAPs for Global Markets
For forex, crypto, and futures traders who operate in 24/7 markets, the indicator tracks three major global sessions:
Asia Session - UTC 21:00 to 08:00. Gold colored line. Typically lower volatility, range-bound action that sets overnight levels.
London Session - UTC 08:00 to 17:00. Orange colored line. Often determines daily direction with high volume European participation.
New York Session - UTC 13:00 to 22:00. Blue colored line. Highest volume session globally. Sharp directional moves common.
Previous session VWAP values display as horizontal lines when each session closes, acting as intraday support and resistance. The table shows which sessions are currently active with checkmarks.
On-Chart Labels and Signals
The indicator plots several types of labels directly on price action when significant events occur:
Volume Spike Labels
Fire when current bar volume exceeds configurable thresholds relative to both the previous bar and the 20-bar average. Default settings require 300% of previous bar AND 200% of average volume. Green labels indicate bullish candles. Red labels indicate bearish candles. These spikes often mark institutional entry points.
Momentum Shift Labels
Appear when VWAP acceleration changes direction. The Slowing label warns when an active trend loses steam, often preceding reversal. The Accelerating label confirms trend continuation or potential bottom during downtrends. Filters available to show only reversal signals in existing trends.
VWAP Squeeze Labels
Detect when standard deviation bands contract relative to ATR (Average True Range). Low volatility compression often precedes explosive breakout moves. When the squeeze fires (releases), a label appears with directional prediction based on VWAP slope.
Divergence Labels
Mark price/volume divergences using CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) analysis:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, but CVD makes higher low. Hidden accumulation despite price weakness.
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, but CVD makes lower high. Hidden distribution despite price strength.
Dynamic VWAP Coloring
The main VWAP line changes color based on its slope direction:
Green - VWAP is rising. Institutional buying pressure. Volume-weighted price increasing.
Red - VWAP is falling. Institutional selling pressure. Volume-weighted price decreasing.
Gray - VWAP is flat. Consolidation or balance between buyers and sellers.
This coloring can be disabled for a static blue line if you prefer cleaner visuals. The VWAP label next to the line shows the current trend direction and delta percentage.
Calculated Projection Cone
One of the most powerful features is the Calculated Projection Cone. Unlike traditional extrapolation methods that simply extend a trend line forward, this system analyzes what actually happened in similar market conditions throughout the chart's history.
How It Works:
The system classifies each bar into one of 27 unique market states:
Z-Score Level - LOW (oversold), MID (fair value), or HIGH (overbought) based on configurable thresholds
Trend Direction - DOWN, FLAT, or UP based on VWAP slope
Volume Profile - LOW (below 80%), NORMAL (80-150%), or HIGH (above 150%) relative volume
When you look at the current bar, the indicator:
1. Identifies the current market state (e.g., LOW Z-Score + UP Trend + HIGH Volume)
2. Searches through all historical bars on the chart that had the same state
3. Calculates what happened in those bars X bars later (where X is your projection horizon)
4. Shows you the probability of up/down and the average move size
Visual Elements:
Probability Cone - Colored green (bullish probability above 55%), red (bearish below 45%), or gold (neutral). The cone width represents the historical range of outcomes (roughly the 20th to 80th percentile).
Center Line - Shows the average expected price based on historical outcomes in similar conditions.
Probability Label - Displays direction probability and average move. Example: "67% UP (+0.8%)" means 67% of similar past cases moved up, averaging 0.8% gain.
Fallback System:
When the exact 27-state match has insufficient historical data:
First fallback: Uses Z-Score plus Trend only (9 broader states, ignoring volume)
Second fallback: Uses Z-Score only (3 states)
When fallback is active, confidence automatically adjusts
Settings:
Projection Horizon - How many bars forward to analyze outcomes (5, 10, 15, or 20 bars, default 10)
Lookback Period - Historical data window in days (30-252, default 60)
Minimum Samples - Cases needed before using fallback (5-30, default 10)
Z-Score Threshold - Bucket boundary for LOW/MID/HIGH classification (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 sigma)
Cloud Transparency - Adjust visibility (50-95%)
Colors - Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral cone colors
Confidence Levels:
HIGH - 30 or more similar historical cases found
MEDIUM - 15-29 similar cases
LOW - Fewer than 15 cases (more uncertainty)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The Calculated Projection is based on past patterns only. It is NOT a price prediction or financial advice. Similar market states in the past do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. The probability shown is historical frequency, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis and never rely solely on projections for trading decisions.

Price vs VWAP:
Price crosses above VWAP
Price crosses below VWAP

The Info Table - Your Trading Dashboard
The right side of your chart displays a compact table with up to twelve metrics.
Row-by-Row Breakdown:
Asset and Period - Shows what the indicator detected (US Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.) and your selected anchor period. The detection happens automatically based on exchange data, so VWAP resets and calculations match your actual trading instrument.
Delta Percentage - How far current price sits from VWAP, expressed as a percentage. Positive means price trades above fair value. Negative means below. Large delta values (beyond 1-2%) often precede mean reversion moves. Day traders watch this for overextension.
Z-Score - Statistical deviation from VWAP measured in standard deviations. Unlike raw delta, Z-Score accounts for volatility. A 2% move in a volatile biotech stock differs from 2% in a stable utility. Z-Score normalizes this. Values beyond plus or minus two sigma occur only 5% of the time statistically.
Trend Direction - Whether VWAP itself is rising, falling, or flat. Rising VWAP means the volume-weighted average price is increasing, which indicates institutional accumulation. Falling VWAP suggests distribution. This differs from price trend since it weights by volume.
Momentum State - Is the trend accelerating or slowing down? This measures the rate of change in VWAP slope. When an uptrend shows slowing momentum, it often precedes reversal. Accelerating momentum in a downtrend can signal capitulation and potential bottom.
Relative Volume - Current bar volume compared to the 20-bar average, shown as percentage. Values above 150% indicate above-average activity. Spikes above 200-300% often mark institutional involvement. Low volume (below 80%) warns of potential fake moves.
MTF Bias - Four checkmarks or X marks showing whether price sits above or below Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly VWAP. Four checkmarks means strong bullish alignment across all timeframes. Four X marks indicates bearish alignment. Mixed readings suggest consolidation or transition.
Band Probabilities - Historical statistics showing how often price touched each standard deviation band over your lookback period. This helps you understand if mean reversion or trend following works better for your specific instrument.
Session Status - Which global trading sessions are currently active (Asia, London, New York). Shows checkmarks for active sessions. Important for forex and crypto traders who need to know when major liquidity windows open and close.
Divergence State - Whether the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence between price and cumulative volume delta. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but buying pressure (CVD) makes higher lows, suggesting hidden accumulation.
Confidence Score - A weighted composite of all factors displayed as a progress bar and percentage. Combines MTF alignment, Z-Score, trend direction, volume delta, momentum, and relative volume into a single 0-100 score. Higher scores indicate stronger conviction setups.
Calculated Projection - When the Projection Cone is enabled, shows the historical probability of price direction and expected move. For example: "▲ 67% (+0.8%)" means in similar market states historically, price moved up 67% of the time with an average gain of 0.8%. The system analyzes 27 unique market states based on Z-Score, Trend, and Volume conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Day Trading Stocks:
Use Session anchor with Band 1 visible. Watch for price returning to VWAP after morning move. Volume spikes near VWAP often mark institutional accumulation zones.
Swing Trading:
Use Weekly or Rolling 21D anchor. Enable MTF lines for Daily and Weekly levels. Trade pullbacks to these levels in direction of MTF bias.
Crypto and Forex:
Enable Session VWAPs. Use Rolling anchors to avoid artificial resets. Monitor session transitions for breakout opportunities.
Mean Reversion:
Focus on Z-Score reaching plus or minus two. Add Band 2 visibility. Combine with slowing momentum for highest probability reversals.
Trend Following:
Watch MTF bias alignment. Four checkmarks plus accelerating momentum plus high volume confirms trend continuation setups.
Projection Planning:
Enable the Calculated Projection to see what happened historically in similar market conditions. Use 5-10 bars for intraday setups, 15-20 bars for swing trade planning. Focus on high probability readings (above 60%) with HIGH confidence (30 or more samples). The cone shows the probable range of outcomes based on actual historical data. Combine with other factors like MTF alignment and volume for higher conviction setups.
Important Notes
The indicator does not repaint. MTF values use previous period's confirmed data.
Rolling VWAP works best on 15-minute timeframes and above due to bar lookback requirements.
Session VWAPs apply to global markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). Enable the all-assets option for stocks if desired.
Volume data for forex represents tick volume, not actual traded volume.
All alert conditions fire only on confirmed (closed) bars to prevent false signals.
The Calculated Projection updates each bar as market state changes. This is expected behavior. The projection shows probabilities based on similar past conditions, not a fixed prediction.
Q AND A
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: No. The main VWAP calculation uses standard PulseWire VWAP methodology. Multi-timeframe values use previous period's confirmed data with appropriate lookahead settings. All alert signals require bar confirmation.
Q: Why does my Rolling VWAP look different on 1-minute versus 15-minute charts?
A: Rolling VWAP calculates across a fixed number of trading days. On very short timeframes, the bar lookback may hit PulseWire limits. For best Rolling VWAP accuracy, use 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Q: Can I use this on any instrument?
A: Yes. The indicator automatically detects asset type and adjusts behavior. Stocks use standard market hours. Crypto uses 24/7 calculations. Forex uses tick volume. Everything adapts automatically.
Q: What does the Confidence Score actually measure?
A: The score combines six weighted factors: MTF alignment (25%), Z-Score position (20%), Trend direction (20%), CVD pressure (15%), Momentum state (10%), and Relative volume (10%). Higher scores indicate more factors aligned in one direction.
Q: Why are Session VWAPs not showing on my stock chart?
A: Session VWAPs apply to 24-hour markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). For stocks, enable the Use for All Assets option in Session VWAP settings.
Q: The Divergence labels appear delayed. Is this a bug?
A: Divergence detection requires pivot confirmation, which needs bars on both sides of the pivot point. The label appears at the actual pivot location (several bars back) once confirmed. This is intentional and prevents false signals.
Q: Can I change the band colors?
A: Yes. Each of the three bands has its own color input setting. You can customize Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 colors to match your preferences. The defaults are Aqua, Fuchsia, and Purple. The main VWAP line color adapts dynamically based on slope direction or can be set to static blue.
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Right-click on the chart, select Add Alert, choose this indicator, and select your desired condition from the dropdown. All conditions include descriptive alert messages with relevant data.
Q: What is the Probability Engine lookback period?
A: This setting determines how many trading days the indicator analyzes to calculate band touch rates and mean reversion statistics. Default is 60 days (approximately 3 months). Longer periods provide more stable statistics but may miss recent behavior changes.
Q: Why do I see fewer labels than expected?
A: Signal labels (Volume, Momentum, Squeeze, Divergence) are limited to 5 most recent labels on the chart to keep it clean. When a new label appears, the oldest one is automatically removed. Additionally, momentum labels have several filters: check the slope multiplier setting (higher values require stronger trends) and the Only Reversal Signals option (when enabled, labels only appear for potential reversals, not trend confirmations).
Q: What is the Calculated Projection and how accurate is it?
A: The Calculated Projection analyzes what happened in past market conditions similar to the current state. It classifies each bar by Z-Score level, Trend direction, and Volume profile (27 unique states), then shows the historical probability of up vs down and the average move size. It is NOT a price prediction or guarantee. The probability shown is how often similar conditions led to up/down moves historically, not a future guarantee. Always use it as one input among many.
Q: Why does the Projection probability change?
A: The projection updates on each bar as market state changes. If Z-Score moves from LOW to MID, or trend shifts from UP to FLAT, the system looks up a different historical category. This is expected behavior. The projection shows what happened in similar past conditions to the current bar's state.
Q: The Projection shows LOW confidence. What does that mean?
A: Confidence levels indicate sample size: HIGH means 30 or more historical cases found, MEDIUM means 15-29 cases, LOW means fewer than 15 cases. When sample size is low, the system uses a fallback: first aggregating by Z-Score plus Trend only (ignoring volume), then by Z-Score only. LOW confidence means less statistical reliability, so weight other factors more heavily in your decision.
Q: Why does the cone sometimes show 50/50 probability?
A: A 50/50 reading means that in similar past market states, price moved up roughly half the time and down half the time. This indicates a neutral or balanced condition where historical patterns provide no directional edge. Consider waiting for a higher probability setup or using other analysis methods.

Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DeviationOverview
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation is a trading indicator built in Pine Script that combines statistical filters and adaptive smoothing to highlight potential reversal points in price action. It combines a hybrid moving average, dual Z‑Score analysis on both price and RSI, and visual enhancements like slope‑based coloring, ATR‑based shadow bands, and dynamically scaled reversal signals.
Introduction
Statistical indicators like Z‑Scores measure how far a value deviates from its average relative to the typical variation (standard deviation). Standard deviation quantifies how dispersed a set of values is around its mean. A Z‑Score of +2 indicates a value two standard deviations above the mean, while -2 is two below. Traders use Z‑Scores to spot unusually high or low readings that may signal overbought or oversold conditions.
Moving averages smooth out price data to reveal trends. The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) reduces lag and noise through weighted averaging. A Zero‑Lag EMA (approximated here using a time‑shifted EMA) seeks to further minimize delay in following price. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator that measures recent gains against losses over a set period.
ATR (Average True Range) gauges market volatility by averaging the range between high and low over a lookback period. Shadow bands built using ATR give a visual mood of volatility around a central trend line. Together, these tools inform a dynamic but statistically grounded view of market extremes.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to help traders spot short‑term reversal opportunities on lower timeframes. By requiring both price and momentum (RSI) to exhibit statistically significant deviations from their norms, it filters out weak setups and focuses on higher‑probability mean‑reversion zones. Reversal signals appear when price deviates far enough from its hybrid moving average and RSI deviates similarly in the same direction. This makes it suitable for discretionary traders seeking clean entry cues in volatile environments.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation distinguishes itself from standard reversal or mean‑reversion tools by combining several elements into a single framework:
A composite moving average (ALMA + Zero‑Lag EMA) for a smooth yet responsive baseline
Dual Z‑Score filters on price and RSI rather than relying on a single measure
Adaptive visual elements, including slope‑aware coloring, multi‑layer ATR shadows, and signal sizing based on combined Z‑Score magnitude
Most indicators focus on one aspect—price envelopes or RSI thresholds—whereas Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation requires both layers to align before signaling. Its visual design aids quick interpretation without overwhelming the chart.
Why these indicators were merged
Every component in Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation has a purpose:
• ALMA: provides a smooth moving average with reduced lag and fewer false crossovers than a simple SMA or EMA.
• Zero‑Lag EMA (ZLMA approximation): further reduces the delay relative to price by applying a time shift to EMA inputs. This keeps the composite MA closer to current price action.
• RSI and its EMA filter: RSI measures momentum. Applying an EMA filter on RSI smooths out false spikes and confirms genuine overbought or oversold momentum.
• Dual Z‑Scores: computing Z‑Scores on both the distance between price and the composite MA, and on smoothed RSI, ensures that signals only fire when both price and momentum are unusually stretched.
• ATR bands: using ATR‑based shadow layers visualizes volatility around the MA, guiding traders on potential support and resistance zones.
At the end, these pieces merge into a single indicator that detects statistically significant mean reversions while staying adaptive to real‑time volatility and momentum.
Calculations
1. Compute ALMA over the chosen MA length, offset, and sigma.
2. Approximate ZLMA by applying EMA to twice the price minus the price shifted by the MA length.
3. Calculate the composite moving average as the average of ALMA and ZLMA.
4. Compute raw RSI and smooth it with ALMA. Apply an EMA filter to raw RSI to reduce noise.
5. For both price and smoothed RSI, calculate the mean and standard deviation over the Z‑Score lookback period.
6. Compute Z‑Scores:
• z_price = (current price − composite MA mean) / standard deviation of price deviations
• z_rsi = (smoothed RSI − mean RSI) / standard deviation of RSI
7. Determine reversal conditions: both Z‑Scores exceed their thresholds in the same direction, RSI EMA is in oversold/overbought zones (below 40 or above 60), and price movement confirms directionality.
8. Compute signal strength as the sum of the absolute Z‑Scores, then classify into weak, medium, or strong.
9. Calculate ATR over the chosen period and multiply by layer multipliers to form shadow widths.
10.Derive slope over the chosen slope length and color the MA line and bars based on direction, optionally smoothing color transitions via EMA on RGB channels.
How this indicator actually works
1. The script begins by smoothing price data with ALMA and approximating a zero‑lag EMA, then averaging them for the main MA.
2. RSI is calculated, then smoothed and filtered.
3. Using a rolling window, the script computes statistical measures for both price deviations and RSI.
4. Z‑Scores tell how far current values lie from their recent norms.
5. When both Z‑Scores cross configured thresholds and momentum conditions align, reversal signals are flagged.
6. Signals are drawn with size and color reflecting strength.
7. The MA is plotted with dynamic coloring; ATR shadows are layered beneath to show volatility envelopes.
8. Bars can be colored to match MA slope, reinforcing trend context.
9. Alert conditions allow automated notifications when signals occur.

Dual Z‑Score filters: price and momentum must both deviate beyond thresholds to trigger signals, reducing false positives.
Dynamic signal sizing: reversal markers scale in size based on the combined Z‑Score magnitude, making stronger signals more prominent.
Adaptive visuals: optional smoothing of color channels creates gradient effects on lines and fills for a polished look.
Alert conditions: built‑in buy and sell alerts notify traders when reversal setups emerge.
Conclusion
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation delivers a structured way to identify short‑term reversal opportunities by fusing statistical rigor with adaptive smoothing and clear visual cues. It guides traders through multiple confirmation layers—hybrid moving average, dual Z‑Score analysis, momentum filtering, and volatility envelopes—while keeping the chart clean and informative.

Buy Sell Strategy With Z-Score [TradeDots]The "Buy Sell Strategy With Z-Score" is a trading strategy that harnesses Z-Score statistical metrics to identify potential pricing reversals, for opportunistic buying and selling opportunities.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The strategy operates by calculating the Z-Score of the closing price for each candlestick. This allows us to evaluate how significantly the current price deviates from its typical volatility level.
The strategy first takes the scope of a rolling window, adjusted to the user's preference. This window is used to compute both the standard deviation and mean value. With these values, the strategic model finalizes the Z-Score. This determination is accomplished by subtracting the mean from the closing price and dividing the resulting value by the standard deviation.
This approach provides an estimation of the price's departure from its traditional trajectory, thereby identifying market conditions conducive to an asset being overpriced or underpriced.
APPLICATION
Firstly, it is better to identify a stable trading pair for this technique, such as two stocks with considerable correlation. This is to ensure conformance with the statistical model's assumption of a normal Gaussian distribution model. The ideal performance is theoretically situated within a sideways market devoid of skewness.
Following pair selection, the user should refine the span of the rolling window. A broader window smoothens the mean, more accurately capturing long-term market trends, while potentially enhancing volatility. This refinement results in fewer, yet precise trading signals.
Finally, the user must settle on an optimal Z-Score threshold, which essentially dictates the timing for buy/sell actions when the Z-Score exceeds with thresholds. A positive threshold signifies the price veering away from its mean, triggering a sell signal. Conversely, a negative threshold denotes the price falling below its mean, illustrating an underpriced condition that prompts a buy signal.
Within a normal distribution, a Z-Score of 1 records about 68% of occurrences centered at the mean, while a Z-Score of 2 captures approximately 95% of occurrences.
The 'cool down period' is essentially the number of bars that await before the next signal generation. This feature is employed to dodge the occurrence of multiple signals in a short period.
