Triple Supertrend Confluence [MarkitTick]💡 A triple-layer Supertrend confluence system that fuses adaptive volatility bands, multi-timeframe bias, momentum strength, volume conviction, and a cooldown throttle into a single, high-confidence trend signal — then automates the entire trade plan around it with ATR-scaled stop-loss and three staged take-profit levels.
✨ Originality and Utility
Most Supertrend implementations on the platform are single-instance: one ATR period, one multiplier, one line. This script restructures the classic Supertrend into a voting system. Three independently parameterized Supertrend instances (a primary "core" trend and two auxiliary "fast" and "slow" trackers) are calculated in parallel from the same underlying price source, and a signal is only treated as valid when a configurable number of these instances agree on direction. This confluence layer is what separates the tool from a standard Supertrend plot — it is designed to filter out the single biggest weakness of trend-following overlays: getting whipsawed by a solitary indicator flipping on marginal price action.
On top of the consensus layer, the script lets traders stack up to four independent, optional confirmation filters (trend strength via ADX/DMI, higher-timeframe directional bias, relative volume, and a bar-count cooldown) before a signal is considered "confirmed." Each filter can be toggled independently, so the tool scales from a bare-bones single Supertrend up to a fully gated, multi-condition trend-following system. A real-time dashboard keeps every filter's pass/fail state visible at a glance, and an automated trade-planning layer converts each confirmed flip into a structured entry/stop/three-tier-target plan, plotted directly on the chart and exposed through webhook-ready JSON alert payloads.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
• Core Supertrend Engine
The underlying trend engine follows the standard Supertrend construction: an ATR-derived envelope is built around a price source, with an upper band (source plus a multiple of ATR) and a lower band (source minus a multiple of ATR). These bands are "ratcheted" bar to bar — the lower band can only rise or reset if price closes below the prior lower band, and the upper band can only fall or reset if price closes above the prior upper band. The active trend line switches between the lower band (uptrend) and upper band (downtrend) whenever price closes through the opposite band, producing the familiar stepped Supertrend line. This engine is reused three times with different parameters to build the confluence system described below.
• Adaptive Source Smoothing
Rather than feeding raw HL2 price directly into the Supertrend engine, the script offers eight optional smoothing methods to pre-condition the source: Simple, Exponential, and Wilder's Moving Averages; a Double-Pass Weighted Moving Average; a Triple-Pass Volume-Weighted Moving Average; a Hull Moving Average; a custom slope-adjusted average (LLAMA) that blends a simple mean with a linear slope projection over the lookback window; and a single-state Kalman Filter that recursively updates an estimate and its error covariance bar by bar to produce a noise-adaptive average. Smoothing the source before it reaches the Supertrend calculation reduces false flips caused by single-bar noise spikes, at the cost of some responsiveness.
• Adaptive Volatility Factor
Instead of using a fixed ATR multiplier for the core Supertrend band width, the script can compute a percentile rank of current ATR against its own recent history (a lookback window of your choosing). This rank is then mapped linearly onto a user-defined minimum/maximum multiplier range. In practice, this means the band automatically widens during historically high-volatility regimes (reducing whipsaw) and tightens during historically low-volatility regimes (increasing sensitivity), rather than using one static multiplier across all conditions.
• Triple Consensus Voting
Two additional Supertrend instances — a faster-reacting pair (shorter ATR length, smaller multiplier) and a slower-reacting pair (longer ATR length, larger multiplier) — run alongside the core engine on the same smoothed source. When consensus mode is enabled, a signal is only marked confirmed if at least two of the three instances (including the core) agree on direction. This is a simple majority-vote filter designed to suppress signals that are specific to one particular band setting rather than representative of the broader trend structure.
• ADX / DMI Trend Strength Filter
An optional Average Directional Index filter, calculated using Wilder's Directional Movement methodology, requires ADX to be at or above a user-defined threshold before a flip is confirmed. This is a standard technique for distinguishing genuine directional moves from choppy, non-trending price action, since Supertrend-style systems are known to underperform in low-ADX ranging conditions.
• Higher-Timeframe Bias Filter
An optional filter pulls the trend direction of the same Supertrend engine calculated on a higher, user-selected timeframe, and only confirms a signal if it aligns with that higher-timeframe bias. The higher-timeframe value is read from the prior, fully closed bar on that timeframe to avoid any intra-bar recalculation, ensuring the filter reflects only confirmed historical structure rather than an in-progress bar.
• Volume Confirmation Filter
An optional filter compares current bar volume against its own moving average, requiring volume to exceed the average by a user-defined multiple before a signal is confirmed. This is a simple conviction check: trend changes accompanied by above-average participation are treated as more reliable than those occurring on thin volume.
• Cooldown Guard
An optional bar-count throttle prevents a new confirmed signal in the same direction as a recent prior signal if too few bars have elapsed since that prior signal within the same directional segment, reducing rapid re-signaling during choppy transition periods.
• Confirmation Lag Notice
All confirmation logic (consensus vote, ADX filter, HTF bias, volume filter, cooldown guard) and the resulting BULL/BEAR labels, alerts, and trade-level plotting are evaluated strictly on confirmed, closed bars using barstate.isconfirmed. This means every signal displayed or alerted is final and will not repaint once printed. However, users should be aware that a signal is only confirmed one bar after the actual Supertrend flip occurs, since the confirmation checks (particularly the higher-timeframe bias filter) require a fully closed bar to evaluate safely. This introduces a small, deliberate one-bar lag between the raw trend flip and the confirmed signal in exchange for eliminating repainting.
• Automated Trade Level Engine
On every confirmed flip, the script calculates a full trade plan from the entry price (the confirmed close), an ATR-scaled stop-loss (a user-defined multiple of ATR away from entry), and three take-profit levels defined as user-configurable risk:reward multiples of the initial stop distance. These levels are drawn as extending lines and labels, with shaded risk and reward zones between them, and refresh automatically on each new confirmed signal unless the signal is manually locked.
🎨 Visual Guide
Stepped trend line (color reflects the Up/Down Color inputs): traces the active Supertrend band. It plots along the lower band while price is in an uptrend and the upper band while price is in a downtrend.
Muted/gray trend line: when a filter is active but not yet satisfied, the trend line temporarily switches to the Unconfirmed Color to signal that the raw trend has flipped but confirmation is still pending.
Soft background fill (Up Fill / Down Fill colors): a translucent shaded region behind price reinforcing the current trend direction.
Heatmap candles: when enabled, candle bodies and wicks are recolored using the Heatmap Up/Down colors to match the current trend direction, offering an at-a-glance visual of trend state independent of the line itself.
"BULL" / "BEAR" labels: printed below or above the bar respectively, only on confirmed flips that pass every active filter.
Gray cooldown background: a shaded band that appears across the chart while the Cooldown Guard is actively suppressing new signals.
Trade level lines: a solid red Stop-Loss line, a dashed blue Entry line, and three dashed teal Take-Profit lines (TP1 lightest, TP3 most opaque), each extending to the right of the current bar with a price label attached, shown only when Show Trade Levels is enabled.
Shaded risk/reward zones: a light red fill between Stop-Loss and Entry (the risk zone) and a light teal fill between Entry and TP3 (the reward zone).
On-chart dashboard table: displays symbol/timeframe, Lock status, current Trend direction, Confirmed state, ADX value with a color-coded strength percentage, active Adaptive Filter type, Consensus vote count, HTF Bias direction and pass/fail, Volume filter pass/fail, and remaining Cooldown bars — all updating on the most recent bar.
📖 How to Use
Use the stepped trend line and background fill as the primary trend read: price above the line with an up-colored fill suggests an uptrend context; price below with a down-colored fill suggests a downtrend context.
Treat a "BULL" or "BEAR" label as the actionable signal rather than the raw line flip — labels only appear once every enabled filter has passed, meaning the signal has already been screened for trend strength, higher-timeframe alignment, volume conviction, and cooldown status.
If the trend line is showing the Unconfirmed Color, the underlying trend has technically flipped but is still waiting on one or more active filters — treat this as a "watch" state rather than a trade trigger.
Check the dashboard on each new bar to see exactly which filter(s) are passing or failing before a signal can confirm; this is useful for understanding why an expected signal did not appear.
When Show Trade Levels is enabled, use the plotted Stop-Loss, Entry, and TP1/TP2/TP3 lines as a starting reference for structuring a trade around a confirmed signal — adjust position sizing and targets to your own risk tolerance.
Enable Lock Signal to freeze the current trade-level plot in place (useful for screenshots or reviewing a specific setup) without it being overwritten by a new signal.
The JSON alert payloads are formatted for direct use in webhook-based automation, carrying action, ticker, timeframe, direction, and price fields for long entries, short entries, and their corresponding close-position triggers.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
ATR Len / Factor: the ATR lookback and multiplier for the core Supertrend engine; higher Factor values produce a looser band and fewer, larger-magnitude signals.
Adaptive Factor (and Min/Max/Rank Len): when enabled, replaces the fixed Factor with a volatility-percentile-driven multiplier that ranges between Factor Min and Factor Max based on where current ATR sits within its own recent history.
Use ADX Filter / ADX Threshold / ADX Length: gates signal confirmation on trend strength; raise the threshold to demand stronger directional conviction before confirming.
Adaptive Filter / Adaptive Filter Len: selects the source-smoothing method applied before the Supertrend calculation, and its lookback length.
Use HTF Confluence / HTF: requires the selected higher timeframe's own Supertrend direction to agree before confirming a signal.
Use Volume Filter / Volume Avg Len / Volume Mult: requires current volume to exceed its moving average by the given multiple before confirming.
Use Cooldown Guard / Cooldown Bars: suppresses new same-direction signals for a set number of bars following a recent prior signal in the same directional segment.
Use Triple Consensus / Fast Factor / Fast ATR Len / Slow Factor / Slow ATR Len: enables the majority-vote filter and configures the auxiliary fast and slow Supertrend instances used to build consensus.
Lock Signal: freezes the currently plotted trade levels, preventing them from updating on a new signal.
Show Trade Levels: toggles the automated Entry/SL/TP1-3 line and label plotting.
SL ATR Mult: the ATR multiple used to place the stop-loss distance from entry.
TP1/TP2/TP3 R:R: the risk:reward multiples used to place each take-profit level relative to the stop distance.
Heatmap Candles / BULL-BEAR Labels / Show Dashboard / Position: visual display toggles and dashboard placement.
Long/Short/Close Long/Close Short Action: customizable string values embedded in the JSON alert payload's "action" field, for mapping to specific webhook automation commands.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
• Volatility-Based Trend Following (Supertrend / ATR Envelopes)
The core engine descends from the broader family of volatility-adjusted trend-following bands, which use Average True Range (a measure of typical price movement magnitude popularized by J. Welles Wilder) to scale a trailing stop-and-reverse line to prevailing market volatility rather than a fixed price distance. The ratcheting band logic ensures the line never moves against the prevailing trend, which is the defining mechanical property of a trailing-stop-style trend system as opposed to a simple moving average crossover.
• Percentile Ranking for Regime Adaptation
The adaptive factor mechanism applies percentile rank normalization — expressing current ATR as its standing relative to a distribution of its own recent historical values — as a way of contextualizing volatility without relying on a fixed absolute threshold, which allows the same logic to be meaningfully applied across instruments and timeframes with very different baseline volatility levels.
• Ensemble / Majority-Vote Filtering
The Triple Consensus mechanism is a straightforward application of ensemble logic: combining multiple independent estimators (in this case, differently parameterized instances of the same underlying model) and requiring agreement among a majority before acting. This is a well-established technique for variance reduction in signal processing and forecasting contexts, on the premise that independent estimators are less likely to agree by chance during noise-driven, non-trending conditions than during genuine directional moves.
• Wilder's Directional Movement / ADX
The ADX filter is drawn directly from J. Welles Wilder's Directional Movement System, which decomposes price movement into positive and negative directional components and derives a smoothed index (ADX) representing trend strength independent of direction. ADX below common threshold levels is widely associated with range-bound, non-trending conditions in technical analysis literature.
• Recursive State Estimation (Kalman Filtering)
The optional Kalman Filter smoothing method applies a simplified single-state form of the Kalman recursive estimation framework from control theory and signal processing, in which a running estimate is continuously updated by weighting new observations against the estimate's own error covariance, producing a smoothing average that adapts its responsiveness based on recent prediction error rather than using a fixed lookback window.
• Slope-Adjusted Trend Extrapolation (LLAMA)
The LLAMA smoothing option combines a simple arithmetic mean with a linear slope term derived from the change in price over the lookback window, projecting the average forward along the recent trend direction — a lightweight application of linear extrapolation principles used to reduce the inherent lag of simple averaging methods.
• Volume as a Conviction Proxy
The volume filter reflects the broader technical-analysis principle that price movements accompanied by above-average participation carry more informational weight than those on thin volume, a concept with roots in classical volume-price analysis dating back to early technical analysis literature (e.g., Dow Theory's treatment of volume as a confirming factor).

Chandelier Exit Trend Navigator [MarkitTick]💡 A trend-following overlay that tracks directional shifts using a volatility-adaptive channel (Chandelier Exit methodology) and converts each flip into a fully structured trade plan — entry, stop-loss, and three R-multiple take-profit levels — displayed directly on the chart alongside a live status dashboard.
✨ Originality and Utility
While the Chandelier Exit concept itself (anchoring a trailing stop to the highest high or lowest low over a lookback, offset by a multiple of ATR) is a well-documented volatility-stop technique, this script extends that foundation into a complete navigation system rather than a simple trailing line.
Three layers separate this tool from a stock Chandelier Exit plot:
An optional adaptive pre-filter (Kalman Filter or a slope-adjusted moving average referred to here as LLAMA) that can be applied to the source series before the channel extremes are calculated, allowing the trend anchor itself to react differently to noise depending on which filter is selected.
A full trade-management layer built on top of the directional flip: automatic stop-loss placement, three independently configurable take-profit levels defined in R-multiples, and live linefill zones that visually separate risk from reward.
A condition-stacking filter system (higher-timeframe EMA bias and ADX strength) that must all align before a directional flip is treated as an actionable signal, reducing signals generated during weak or conflicting conditions.
The combination is not an arbitrary mashup — the adaptive filter conditions the input to the channel calculation, the HTF/ADX filters condition which flips are considered valid, and the trade-management layer converts a validated flip into a concrete, risk-defined plan. Each component feeds the next in a single directional pipeline.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
● Chandelier Exit Core
The core channel is built from Average True Range (ATR), calculated over a user-defined lookback. Two boundaries are computed each bar:
A long-side stop, set below the highest value of the source over the lookback period, offset by a multiple of ATR.
A short-side stop, set above the lowest value of the source over the same lookback, offset by the same ATR multiple.
Users can choose whether the highest/lowest calculation uses close-based extremes or true high/low wicks, which changes how sensitive the channel is to intrabar spikes.
A persistent trailing line then locks in the tighter of the two boundaries as price develops: while the current directional state is bullish, the line only ratchets upward (never loosening on a pullback); while bearish, it only ratchets downward. A directional flip occurs when price closes beyond the opposite boundary from the prior bar, at which point the trailing line resets to anchor the new trend.
● Adaptive Source Filtering
Before the channel extremes are calculated, the source price can optionally be passed through one of two smoothing methods:
Kalman Filter — a recursive estimator that updates its estimate of the "true" price each bar based on a prediction-error and gain calculation, converging faster in stable conditions and adapting more cautiously during volatile ones.
LLAMA — a linear-regression-style approach that takes a simple moving average of the source and adjusts it by the recent slope (rate of change) over the same lookback, projecting the average forward in the direction the price has been drifting.
When neither is selected, the raw close is used directly, preserving the traditional Chandelier Exit behavior.
● Confirmation Filters
Two independent filters can be layered on top of the raw directional flip before it is treated as a signal:
A higher-timeframe EMA bias filter, which only allows long signals when price is trading above an EMA calculated on a higher timeframe, and only allows short signals when price is trading below it.
An ADX-based strength filter, which requires the Average Directional Index to be at or above a user-defined threshold before any signal — long or short — is permitted, filtering out flips that occur during weak, non-trending conditions.
Both filters default to off and can be combined or used independently.
● Trade Level Construction
When a filtered directional flip is confirmed on a closed bar, the script anchors a trade plan to the prior bar's close:
Risk per trade is defined as the prior bar's ATR multiplied by a user-set stop-loss multiplier.
The stop-loss is placed one risk-unit away from the entry, in the direction opposite the trade.
Three take-profit levels are placed at independently configurable R-multiples of that same risk distance (default 1R, 2R, and 3R), each extending in the direction of the trade.
This means every signal comes with a symmetric, volatility-scaled risk framework rather than a fixed point value, so trade levels automatically widen or tighten with current market volatility.
🎨 Visual Guide
Heatmap Candles — the chart's candle bodies and wicks are recolored to match the current directional state: teal/green while the trailing system is bullish, red while bearish, and gray when direction is undetermined (e.g. on the very first bar).
Entry Line (blue, dashed) — marks the anchor price of the most recent confirmed trade signal.
Stop-Loss Line (red, solid, thicker) — marks the calculated stop price for the active signal, labeled "✕ SL" with its price value.
Take-Profit Lines (green, dashed, three separate levels) — TP1, TP2, and TP3, each drawn with progressively fuller opacity so TP3 is the most visually solid, labeled "◆ TP1", "✦ TP2", and "◆ TP3" respectively with their price values.
Risk Zone Fill — a light red shaded region between the stop-loss and entry lines, visually sizing the risk portion of the trade.
Reward Zone Fill — a light teal shaded region between the entry and TP3 lines, visually sizing the potential reward portion of the trade.
Dashboard Table — a repositionable panel (default top-right) summarizing, in real time: Lock status, current Trend direction, HTF Bias reading, the numeric CE trailing-stop level, current ATR value, and the active Entry/SL prices. When enabled, it also displays the current ADX reading and which adaptive filter (if any) is active. A visual bar-and-percentage gauge shows the reward-to-risk ratio of the current trade relative to TP3, colored red/yellow/green depending on how favorable it is.
📌 Note : the best way to resolve visual overlap is to navigate to the Object Tree and drag the indicator above the main chart layer, or simply hide the native candles in your chart settings.
📖 How to Use
A directional flip in the heatmap candle color, together with a new Entry/SL/TP level set appearing on the chart, indicates a fresh signal in that direction.
The Stop-Loss line represents the level at which the trade thesis is considered invalidated under this system's logic.
TP1, TP2, and TP3 represent successive profit-taking references at increasing R-multiples; price reaching a level does not close or resize the plotted level automatically — it is a visual reference for scaling decisions.
The Risk and Reward zone fills give an immediate visual sense of the trade's risk framing without needing to read exact price values.
The Dashboard's R:R (TP3) gauge offers a quick read on how the reward potential compares to the initial risk for the most recent signal.
The Lock Signal input, when enabled, freezes the currently plotted levels in place and suppresses new signal generation — useful for reviewing a specific setup without the chart updating further trade plans in real time.
When the HTF or ADX filters are enabled but conditions aren't met, no new signal will fire even if the raw directional flip occurs — check the Dashboard's HTF Bias and ADX rows to understand why a flip may not have produced a signal.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
ATR Len / ATR Mult — controls the lookback and volatility multiplier used to build the Chandelier channel; a longer length and/or larger multiplier produces a wider, slower-reacting trailing stop.
Use Close Extremes — toggles between close-based and high/low-based channel construction, changing sensitivity to intrabar wicks.
HTF Trend Filter / HTF TF / HTF EMA Len — enables and configures the higher-timeframe EMA bias filter that gates which direction of signal is permitted.
Use ADX Filter / ADX Threshold / ADX Length — enables and configures the trend-strength filter that must be satisfied for any signal to fire.
Adaptive Filter / Adaptive Filter Length — selects an optional smoothing method (Kalman Filter or LLAMA) applied to the source before channel calculation, and its lookback length.
Lock Signal — freezes the currently displayed trade levels and halts new signal generation.
SL ATR Mult — sets how many ATR units define one unit of risk for stop-loss placement.
TP1 R / TP2 R / TP3 R — sets the R-multiple distance for each take-profit level relative to the calculated risk.
Heatmap Candles / Show Trade Levels — toggle the directional candle coloring and the entry/SL/TP drawing layer independently.
Dash Pos — repositions the dashboard to any chart corner.
Color inputs — customize the bullish/bearish colors, stop-loss, entry, and take-profit line colors, and the dashboard's background, header, and text colors.
Alert action fields (Long/Short/Close Long/Close Short) — customize the text string sent in the "action" field of the JSON alert payload, useful for routing signals to automated systems expecting specific action keywords.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The trailing-stop core of this script belongs to a family of volatility-adjusted stop techniques that use Average True Range as a normalization factor for price movement, an approach popularized in trend-following and volatility-breakout literature as a way to size stops relative to an instrument's current, rather than fixed, volatility regime. Anchoring the stop to a rolling extreme (highest high or lowest low) rather than a fixed percentage or point distance reflects the broader class of "channel breakout" trend systems, in which a directional bias persists until price violates a level defined by recent extremes — a structure with roots in classical trend-following systems that predate modern indicator platforms.
The optional Kalman Filter smoothing draws on recursive Bayesian estimation theory, originally developed for tracking dynamic systems under measurement uncertainty. Applied to price, it treats each new close as a noisy observation of an underlying "true" value, blending the prior estimate with the new observation according to a gain term that adjusts based on estimated error — a formulation with parallels to adaptive filtering approaches used in signal processing and, more recently, in quantitative finance research on noise-reduction for price series.
The LLAMA-labeled alternative combines a simple moving average with a linear slope projection, conceptually related to local linear regression and momentum-adjusted smoothing techniques, where a lagging average is advanced along the estimated trend direction to partially compensate for the inherent lag of moving-average-based estimators.
The ADX-based strength filter draws on Welles Wilder's Directional Movement framework, which quantifies trend strength independently of trend direction; requiring a minimum ADX reading before accepting a signal reflects a common risk-management heuristic in trend-following systems — that directional signals generated during low ADX (ranging/choppy) conditions have historically shown less reliability than those generated during elevated trend strength, though this relationship is probabilistic rather than deterministic and varies across instruments and regimes.
The take-profit structure, expressed in R-multiples of the initial risk rather than fixed price or percentage targets, reflects standard position-sizing and risk-management theory in which trade outcomes are measured relative to the capital placed at risk, allowing performance to be evaluated on a risk-normalized basis rather than in absolute price terms.

Price Action Bands | Trend & Volatility [RadixAlgo]🔶 About the Indicator
Price action often looks simple after the move is complete, but while the market is moving, traders usually need more context to understand whether price is trending, overextended, pulling back, or simply moving inside normal volatility. This price action indicator was built to make this context easier to read directly on the chart.
It combines a dynamic moving average baseline with upper and lower volatility bands, giving traders a structured way to follow trend direction, measure price extension, analyze volatility, and observe how price reacts around key dynamic support and resistance zones.
At the center of the indicator is a customizable trend baseline that can be calculated with different moving average types, including SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, SWMA, and VWMA. The baseline changes color based on the current trend state, helping users distinguish bullish and bearish market conditions without adding unnecessary visual noise.
Around this baseline, the indicator plots adaptive volatility bands using either ATR or Standard Deviation. The upper red bands highlight areas where price may be extended to the upside, while the lower green bands show where price may be stretched to the downside.
This isn’t one of those indicators that tries to tell you exactly when to buy or sell. It’s more like a lens that helps you see what the market is actually doing in real time. Sometimes you’ll notice price hugging the bands during a strong trend, other times it drifts back toward the baseline after stretching too far.
That’s where the real insight comes from. You can tweak the moving average type, adjust how wide the bands are, or smooth things out depending on how fast or slow you like to read the chart. Whether you’re watching quick intraday moves or letting a swing trade develop over days, it naturally adapts to your style without forcing a rigid system on you.
🔶 How It Works
The logic behind Price Action Bands | Trend & Volatility starts with a dynamic trend baseline. This baseline is the central reference point of the indicator and acts as the main structure around which price action is interpreted.
Instead of forcing every market into one fixed moving average model, the indicator allows traders to choose between several moving average types, including SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, SWMA, and VWMA.
Each one reads the market slightly differently. SMA provides a classic and balanced view of the average price, EMA reacts faster to recent price changes, HMA is smoother while still being responsive, RMA is useful for softer trend tracking, WMA gives more importance to recent candles, SWMA creates a smoother short-term baseline, and VWMA includes volume in the calculation, making it useful when traders want the trend line to reflect both price and trading activity.
After the baseline is calculated, the indicator compares it with a smoothed version of itself. This creates the trend state logic. When the baseline is positioned above its smoothed signal line, the market is treated as being in a bullish trend state, and the trend area is highlighted in blue.
When the baseline moves below the smoothed signal line, the market is treated as being in a bearish trend state, and the trend area is highlighted in orange. This does not mean that the indicator is generating automatic buy or sell signals. Instead, it gives traders a cleaner way to understand whether the current price action is aligned with bullish pressure or bearish pressure.
The second major part of the indicator is the volatility band system. Around the trend baseline, the script builds upper and lower bands that expand and contract based on market conditions. These bands can be calculated using either ATR or Standard Deviation. ATR measures the actual range of price movement and is useful for understanding how much the market is moving from candle to candle.
It is especially helpful in volatile markets, breakout phases, and fast price movements. Standard Deviation, on the other hand, measures how far the baseline or price behavior is spread from its average condition. This makes it useful for identifying statistical price extension, compression, and overextended market areas.
The indicator uses two band levels on each side of the baseline: inner bands and outer bands. The inner bands represent a moderate volatility zone, while the outer bands represent a more extreme price extension area. When price moves into the upper red bands, it shows that price is stretched above the trend baseline.
This can happen during strong bullish continuation, aggressive breakout movement, or an overextended upside condition. When price reaches the lower green bands, it shows that price is stretched below the trend baseline. This can appear during strong bearish continuation, downside volatility expansion, or an overextended sell-side move.
The upper and lower bands should not be read as simple overbought and oversold levels. This is where the indicator becomes more than just a basic band framework. Price can touch an upper band and continue higher if the trend is strong, or it can leave the upper band and return toward the baseline when momentum starts to fade.
The same logic applies to the lower bands. A move into the lower band can signal strong bearish pressure, but if price exits the band and begins moving back toward the baseline, traders may start watching for a possible reaction, correction, or mean-reversion move. The value comes from reading the relationship between price, the baseline, the trend state, and the volatility zones together.
In bullish conditions, traders usually focus on how price behaves around the blue trend baseline, the upper volatility bands, and pullbacks toward the central structure. A bullish market may show price holding above the baseline, reacting from it, or expanding toward the upper bands as volatility increases. In this environment, pullbacks toward the baseline can help traders evaluate whether the trend is still supported, while movement into the upper bands can show momentum expansion or price extension.
In bearish conditions, the logic is reversed. Traders watch how price behaves below the baseline, how it reacts around the orange trend state, and whether downside movement reaches the lower green bands. Pullbacks toward the baseline may act as areas where bearish pressure returns, while movement into the lower bands can show strong downside volatility or stretched price action.
Because the indicator does not place automatic signals on the chart, the trader remains responsible for interpreting the setup. A breakout, pullback, exit from band, or trend continuation condition is not defined by one single line touch. It is read through context: the color of the trend baseline, the position of price relative to the baseline, the distance between price and the bands, and the way candles react after entering or leaving a volatility zone. This makes the tool flexible for different strategies, including trend-following, breakout trading, pullback trading, volatility analysis, and mean-reversion analysis, while still keeping the chart visually clean.
🔶 Input Parameters
🔹Moving Average Type
Selects the moving average used as the main trend baseline. The available options are SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, SWMA, and VWMA. Each moving average type reacts differently to price movement, so traders can choose the one that best matches their trading style.
🔹Moving Average Period
Defines the length of the moving average baseline. Higher values create a smoother and slower trend line, while lower values make the baseline react faster to recent price changes.
🔹Trend Smoothing Period
Controls the smoothing of the trend signal line. Lower values make the trend state more sensitive to changes, while higher values create a smoother and more stable trend reading.
🔹Band Method
Determines how the volatility bands are calculated. Traders can choose between ATR and Standard Deviation. ATR measures market range and movement, while Standard Deviation measures price dispersion around the baseline.
🔹ATR Period
Sets the lookback period for the ATR calculation. This option is active when the Band Method is set to ATR. A shorter period reacts faster to volatility changes, while a longer period creates a smoother volatility reading.
🔹Standard Deviation Period
Sets the lookback period for the Standard Deviation calculation. This option is active when the Band Method is set to Standard Deviation. It controls how price dispersion is measured for the volatility bands.
🔹Band Smoothing Period
Smooths the upper and lower bands to reduce short-term fluctuations. Higher values make the bands more stable, while lower values make them more responsive to recent market movement.
🔹Inner Band Multiplier
Controls the distance of the inner bands from the trend baseline. The inner bands represent the closer volatility zone and can help traders observe moderate price extension.
🔹Outer Band Multiplier
Controls the distance of the outer bands from the trend baseline. The outer bands represent a wider volatility zone and can help traders identify stronger price extension or more extreme market movement.
🔶 Summary
Price Action Bands | Trend & Volatility brings trend direction, price action analysis, and volatility bands into one clean chart-based framework. By combining a customizable moving average baseline with adaptive upper and lower bands, the indicator helps traders understand whether price is following the current trend, pulling back toward dynamic support and resistance, expanding with volatility, or moving into an overextended area. The colored trend baseline gives a quick view of bullish or bearish market conditions, while the ATR and Standard Deviation band methods allow the volatility zones to adapt to different market structures, trading styles, and timeframes.
This indicator is not designed to replace trader judgment with automatic buy and sell signals. Instead, it gives users a practical way to interpret trend-following setups, breakout conditions, pullback opportunities, exit-from-band behavior, mean-reversion zones, and volatility expansion directly on the chart. With flexible settings for moving average type, moving average period, trend smoothing, band method, band smoothing, and inner or outer band multipliers, Price Action Bands can be adjusted for scalping, intraday trading, swing trading, and broader market analysis while keeping the chart readable and focused on real price action.

Unlike traditional Pivot Points, which plot static horizontal levels based on the previous period's High, Low, and Close, this script introduces a dynamic element by applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the calculated pivot levels. This approach allows the Support and Resistance zones to adapt more fluidly to recent price action, reducing the jagged steps often seen in standard multi-timeframe pivot indicators.
How It Works
The script operates in two distinct phases of calculation:
1. Data Extraction and Core Math:
The indicator first requests the High, Low, and Close data from a user-defined timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Using this data, it calculates the standard Pivot Point (P) alongside three levels of Support (S1, S2, S3) and three levels of Resistance (R1, R2, R3) using standard geometric formulas:
Pivot = (High + Low + Close) / 3
R1 = 2 * Pivot - Low
S1 = 2 * Pivot - High
(Subsequent levels follow standard Floor Pivot logic).
2. Dynamic Smoothing:
Instead of plotting these raw values directly, the script processes each calculated level (P, S1-S3, R1-R3) through an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The length of this EMA is controlled by the Pivot Length input. This smoothing process filters out minor volatility and creates curved, dynamic trajectories for the pivot levels rather than static straight lines.
How to Use
Traders can use this tool to identify dynamic areas of interest where price may react.
The White Line represents the Central Pivot. Price action relative to this line helps determine the immediate bias (above for bullish, below for bearish).
Green Lines (Support 1, 2, 3) indicate potential demand zones where price may bounce during a downtrend.
Red Lines (Resistance 1, 2, 3) indicate potential supply zones where price may reject during an uptrend.
Because the levels are smoothed, they can also act as dynamic trend followers, similar to moving averages, but derived from pivot geometry.
Settings
Show Pivot Points: Toggles the visibility of the plot lines on the chart.
Pivot Length: Defines the lookback period for the EMA smoothing applied to the pivot levels. A higher number results in smoother, slower-reacting lines.
Timeframe: Determines the timeframe used for the underlying High/Low/Close data (e.g., selecting "D" calculates pivots based on Daily data while viewing a lower timeframe chart).
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Indicator
Trend CandlesTrend Candles
Overview
The Trend Candles indicator is a simple yet effective tool designed to help traders visually identify the prevailing market trend. By combining candle coloring with a trend-based Exponential Moving Average (EMA), it enhances chart readability and makes trend-following strategies easier to apply.
Concepts
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA is a moving average that places more weight on recent price data. It reacts faster to price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it well-suited for trend detection.
Trend Determination:
- If the EMA is rising (current EMA > previous EMA), the market is considered bullish.
- If the EMA is falling (current EMA < previous EMA), the market is considered bearish.
- If the EMA is flat (no significant change), no trend color is applied.
Candle Coloring:
- Green candles = Uptrend
- Purple candles = Downtrend
- Default candles = Sideways/Flat EMA
Features
- Trend Visualization: Candles automatically change color based on EMA slope, making it easy to spot bullish and bearish phases.
- Customizable EMA Length: The trader can set the EMA period (default is 50), allowing flexibility for short-term or long-term trend analysis.
- Overlay EMA Line: An orange EMA line is plotted on the chart for additional confirmation of the trend.
- Clean & Minimalist: Focuses on trend clarity without cluttering the chart with unnecessary signals.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the EMA Length as per your trading style (shorter = faster signals, longer = smoother trend).
3. Follow the candle color:
- Green = Favor long entries.
- Purple = Favor short entries.
- No color = Stay cautious, as trend is unclear.
4. Use with other confirmation tools (support/resistance, volume, or oscillators).
5. Users are encouraged to experiment with different EMA lengths. The default length is 50, but you can explore other values based on your needs. In particular, try Fibonacci numbers such as 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and 233 to observe how trends behave differently.

Trend Speed Analyzer (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Trend Speed Analyzer by Zeiierman is designed to measure the strength and speed of market trends, providing traders with actionable insights into momentum dynamics. By combining a dynamic moving average with wave and speed analysis, it visually highlights shifts in trend direction, market strength, and potential reversals. This tool is ideal for identifying breakout opportunities, gauging trend consistency, and understanding the dominance of bullish or bearish forces over various timeframes.
█ How It Works
The indicator employs a Dynamic Moving Average (DMA) enhanced with an Accelerator Factor, allowing it to adapt dynamically to market conditions. The DMA is responsive to price changes, making it suitable for both long-term trends and short-term momentum analysis.
Key components include:
Trend Speed Analysis: Measures the speed of market movements, highlighting momentum shifts with visual cues.
Wave Analysis: Tracks bullish and bearish wave sizes to determine market strength and bias.
Normalized Speed Values: Ensures consistency across different market conditions by adjusting for volatility.
⚪ Average Wave and Max Wave
These metrics analyze the size of bullish and bearish waves over a specified Lookback Period:
Average Wave: This represents the mean size of bullish and bearish movements, helping traders gauge overall market strength.
Max Wave: Highlights the largest movements within the period, identifying peak momentum during trend surges.
⚪ Current Wave Ratio
This feature compares the current wave's size against historical data:
Average Wave Ratio: Indicates if the current momentum exceeds historical averages. A value above 1 suggests the trend is gaining strength.
Max Wave Ratio: Shows whether the current wave surpasses previous peak movements, signaling potential breakouts or trend accelerations.
⚪ Dominance
Dominance metrics reveal whether bulls or bears have controlled the market during the Lookback Period:
Average Dominance: Compares the net difference between average bullish and bearish wave sizes.
Max Dominance: Highlights which side had the stronger individual waves, indicating key power shifts in market dynamics.
Positive values suggest bullish dominance, while negative values point to bearish control. This helps traders confirm trend direction or anticipate reversals.
█ How to Use
Identify Trends: Leverage the color-coded candlesticks and dynamic trend line to assess the overall market direction with clarity.
Monitor Momentum: Use the Trend Speed histogram to track changes in momentum, identifying periods of acceleration or deceleration.
Analyze Waves: Compare the sizes of bullish and bearish waves to identify the prevailing market bias and detect potential shifts in sentiment. Additionally, fluctuations in Current Wave ratio values should be monitored as early indicators of possible trend reversals.
Evaluate Dominance: Utilize dominance metrics to confirm the strength and direction of the current trend.
█ Settings
Maximum Length: Sets the smoothing of the trend line.
Accelerator Multiplier: Adjusts sensitivity to price changes.
Lookback Period: Defines the range for wave calculations.
Enable Table: Displays statistical metrics for in-depth analysis.
Enable Candles: Activates color-coded candlesticks.
Collection Period: Normalizes trend speed values for better accuracy.
Start Date: Limits calculations to a specific timeframe.
Timer Option: Choose between using all available data or starting from a custom date.

RSI Trail [UAlgo]The RSI Trail indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders in making informed decisions by utilizing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and various moving average calculations. This indicator dynamically plots support and resistance levels based on RSI values, providing visual cues for potential bullish and bearish signals. The inclusion of a trailing stop mechanism allows traders to adapt to market volatility, ensuring optimal entry and exit points.
🔶 Key Features
Multiple Moving Average Types: Choose from Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Running Moving Average (RMA), and McGinley Dynamic for diverse analytical approaches.
Configurable RSI Bounds: Tailor the RSI lower and upper bounds to your specific trading preferences, with default settings at 40 and 60.
Signals: The indicator determines bullish and bearish market states and plots corresponding signals on the chart.
Customizable Visualization: Options to display the midline and color candles based on market state enhance visual analysis.
Alerts: Integrated alert conditions notify you of bullish and bearish signals.
🔶 Calculations
The RSI Trail indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using a combination of moving averages and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It starts by computing a chosen moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or McGinley) over a period of 27 using the typical price (ohlc4).
The indicator then defines upper and lower bounds based on customizable RSI levels (default 40 and 60) and adjusts these bounds using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility. The upper bound is calculated by adding a volatility-adjusted value to the moving average, while the lower bound is found by subtracting this value. Bullish signals occur when the price crosses above the upper bound, and bearish signals when it falls below the lower bound.
The RSI Trail indicator also can be used to identify pullback opportunities. When the price high/low crosses above/below the calculated upper/lower bound, it indicates a potential pullback, suggesting a favorable point to enter a trade during a pullback.

RAINBOW AVERAGES - INDICATOR - (AS) - 1/3
-INTRODUCTION:
This is the first of three scripts I intend to publish using rainbow indicators. This script serves as a groundwork for the other two. It is a RAINBOW MOVING AVERAGES indicator primarily designed for trend detection. The upcoming script will also be an indicator but with overlay=false (below the chart, not on it) and will utilize RAINBOW BANDS and RAINBOW OSCILLATOR. The third script will be a strategy combining all of them.
RAINBOW moving averages can be used in various ways, but this script is mainly intended for trend analysis. It is meant to be used with overlay=true, but if the user wishes, it can be viewed below the chart. To achieve this, you need to change the code from overlay=true to false and turn off the first switch that plots the rainbow on the chart (or simply move the indicator to a new pane below). By doing this, you will be able to see how all four conditions used to detect trends work on the chart. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
-WHAT IS IT:
In its simplest form, this indicator uses 10 moving averages colored like a rainbow. The calculation is as follows:
MA0: This is the main moving average and can be defined with the type (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE), length, and price source. However, the second moving average (MA1) is calculated using MA0 as its source, MA2 uses MA1 as the data source, and so on, until the last one, MA9. Hence, there are 10 moving averages. The first moving average is special as all the others derive from it. This indicator has many potential uses, such as entry/exit signals, volatility indication, and stop-loss placement, but for now, we will focus on trend detection.
-TREND DETECTION:
The indicator offers four different background color options based on the user's preference:
0-NONE: No background color is applied as no trend detection tools is being used (boring)
1-CHANGE: The background color is determined by summing the changes of all 10 moving averages (from two bars). If the sum is positive and not falling, the background color is GREEN. If the sum is negative and not rising, the background color is RED. From early testing, it works well for the beginning of a movement but not so much for a lasting trend.
2-RAINBW: The background color is green when all the moving averages are in ascending order, indicating a bullish trend. It is red when all the moving averages are in descending order, indicating a bearish trend. For example, if MA1>MA2>MA3>MA4..., the background color is green. If MA1 threshold, and red indicates width < -threshold.
4-DIRECT: The background color is determined by counting the number of moving averages that are either above or below the input source. If the specified number of moving averages is above the source, the background color is green. If the specified number of moving averages is below the source, the background color is red. If all ten MAs are below the price source, the indicator will show 10, and if all ten MAs are above, it will show -10. The specific value will be set later in the settings (same for 3-TSHOLD variant). This method works well for lasting trends.
Note: If the indicator is turned into a below-chart version, all four color options can be seen as separate indicators.
-PARAMETERS - SETTINGS:
The first line is an on/off switch to plot the skittles indicator (and some info in the tooltip). The second line has already been discussed, which is the background color and the selection of the source (only used for MA0!).
The line "MA1: TYP/LEN" is where we define the parameters of MA0 (important). We choose from the types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE) and set the length.
Important Note: It says MA1, but it should be MA0!.
The next line defines whether we want to smooth MA1 (which is actually MA0) and the period for smoothing. When smoothing is turned on, MA0 will be smoothed using a 3-pole super smoother. It's worth noting that although this only applies to MA0, as the other MAs are derived from it, they will also be smoothed.
In the line below, we define the type and length of MAs for MA2 (and other MAs except MA0). The same type and length are used for MA1 to MA9. It's important to remember that these values should be smaller. For example, if we set 55, it means that MA1 is the average of 55 periods of MA0, MA2 will be 55 periods of MA1, and so on. I encourage trying different combinations of MA types as it can be easily adjusted for ur type of trading. RMA looks quirky.
Moving on to the last line, we define some inputs for the background color:
TSH: The threshold value when using 3-TSHOLD-BGC. It's a good idea to change the chart to a pane below for easier adjustment. The default values are based on EURUSD-5M.
BG_DIR: The value that must be crossed or equal to the MA score if using 4-DIRECT-BGC. There are 10 MAs, so the maximum value is also 10. For example, if you set it to 9, it means that at least 9 MAs must be below/above the price for the script to detect a trend. Higher values are recommended as most of the time, this indicator oscillates either around the maximum or minimum value.
-SUMMARY OF SETTINGS:
L1 - PLOT MAs and general info tooltip
L2 - Select the source for MA0 and type of trend detection.
L3 - Set the type and length of MA0 (important).
L4 - Turn smoothing on/off for MA0 and set the period for super smoothing.
L5 - Set the type and length for the rest of the MAs.
L6 - Set values if using 4-DIRECT or 3-TSHOLD for the trend detection.
-OTHERS:
To see trend indicators, you need to turn off the plotting of MAs (first line), and then choose the variant you want for the background color. This will plot it on the chart below.
Keep in mind that M1 int settings stands for MA0 and MA2 for all of the 9 MAs left.
Yes, it may seem more complicated than it actually is. In a nutshell, these are 10 MAs, and each one after MA0 uses the previous one as its source. Plus few conditions for range detection. rest is mainly plots and colors.
There are tooltips to help you with the parameters.
I hope this will be useful to someone. If you have any ideas, feedback, or spot errors in the code, LET ME KNOW.
Stay tuned for the remaining two scripts using skittles indicators and check out my other scripts.
-ALSO:
I'm always looking for ideas for interesting indicators and strategies that I could code, so if you don't know Pinescript, just message me, and I would be glad to write your own indicator/strategy for free, obviously.

Up/Down Indicator - DurbtradeA simple but unique indicator to show ONLY whether there is an increase or a decrease in price compared to the previous value.
Also includes a customizable SMA or EMA based "Smoothing Length" variable,
allowing the indicator to show whether the SMA or the EMA of the price
is up or down compared to the previous value.
An offset option is also included if you need it.
Settings :
Personal thoughts :
I wanted to have an indicator that showed ONLY whether the price is UP or DOWN from the previous value.
My logic was that I could have a more accurate perception of general up or down trend direction
if I removed the AMOUNT of increase or decrease happening from moment to moment over time.
From there, I added the SMA/EMA "Smoothing Length" and "Smoothing Type" variables into the script.
By increasing the value of the smoothing length above 1,
the indicator act as a color-changing moving average, except without showing an actual value.
"Smooth Length" acts just like the length of any other moving average...
When the value of the "Smooth Length" is = 1, the indicator shows whether PRICE is up or down.
When the value of the "Smooth Length" is = 50, the indicator shows whether the MOVING AVERAGE with a length of 50 is up or down.
When the value of the "Smooth Type" is = 1, the indicator is SMA based.
When the value of the "Smooth Type" is = 2, the indicator is EMA based.
As you can see in the main chart above, or in the picture below, I show the indicator in 2 different ways...
The indicator on the top shows price up/down action,
and the indicator on the bottom shows the 50 SMA up/down action :
Other key points :
The indicator height can be smashed down as small as possible and still remain 100% functional...
which is very important when chart real-estate is limited.
Here is an example of my main layout setup, with the Up/Down indicator on the top left :
As you can see, it takes up very little space, but still remains fully functional.
In the example above, I have it overlayed on the left chart price panel,
with the price visibility turned off.
If it is overlayed on the price panel like so, and you want to see both the indicator and price,
simply turn the price visibility on to see both.
Since the indicator displays itself merely by changing the color of the background,
layer order has no effect, and the indicator is always drawn in the background.
The Up/Down indicator can also be used in conjunction with other candle types
that sometimes display candle color differently than standard candles, such as heikin-ashi candles.
Just take note that the colors of the indicator may not match the colors of the heikin-ashi candles.
Finally, I looked very hard to find an indicator like this on PulseWire, and found absolutely nothing.
I know that it is a simple concept, but I'm honestly surprised I couldn't find anything like it.
I have been using it for awhile now, and I'm proud of the results...
therefore, I'd like to share it with the community, along with my previously published indicators,
in the hope that you find it useful!
Outro :
A) As with my previous indicators,
this one was written while keeping information, color, clarity, chart real-estate, and customization in mind.
B) It is optimized to be displayed on all display setups...
for use on your own personal television, laptop, or cellular phone screen...
and on all chart zoom levels and layout styles.
C) Please feel free to comment your thoughts, critiques, or suggestions. They are all very helpful!
D) Check out my previous pine script indicators if you like this one. They work really well together.
E) I hope that you find this script useful.
F) Enjoy!

Linear Regression Channel / Curve / Slope by DGTTʜᴇ Lɪɴᴇᴀʀ Rᴇɢʀᴇꜱꜱɪᴏɴ Cʜᴀɴɴᴇʟꜱ
Linear Regression Channels are useful measure for technical and quantitative analysis in financial markets that help identifying trends and trend direction. The use of standard deviation gives traders ideas as to when prices are becoming overbought or oversold relative to the long term trend
The basis of a linear regression channel
Linear Regression Line – is a line drawn according to the least-squares statistical technique which produces a best-fit line that cuts through the middle of price action, a line that best fits all the data points of interest. The resulting fitted model can be used to summarize the data, to predict unobserved values from the same system. Linear Regression Line then present basis for the channel calculations
The linear regression channel
2. Upper Channel Line – A line that runs parallel to the Linear Regression Line and is usually one to two standard deviations above the Linear Regression Line.
3. Lower Channel Line – This line runs parallel to the Linear Regression Line and is usually one to two standard deviations below the Linear Regression Line.
Unlike Fibonacci Channels and Andrew’s Pitchfork, Linear Regression Channels are calculated using statistical methods, both for the regression line (as expressed above) and deviation channels. Upper and Lower channel lines are presenting the idea of bell curve method, also known as a normal distribution and are calculated using standard deviation function.
A standard deviation include 68% of the data points, two standard deviations include approximately 95% of the data points and any data point that appears outside two standard deviations is very rare.
It is often assumed that the data points will move back toward the average, or regress and channels would allow us to see when a security is overbought or oversold and ready to revert to the mean
please note : Over time, the price will move up and down, and the linear regression channel will experience changes as old prices fall off and new prices appear

Trend Direction Helper (ZigZag and S/R and HH/LL labels)Hey everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank Ricardo Santos, Backtest Rookies for the inspiration for this script.
Actually, most of it is coming from them and I only mixed them up (and added my secret sauce ^^). If some of you are not thinking about a trading secret sauce, please get serious for a moment :)
Some of you asked me how I do to set the trend direction. You all understood that if you get an UP label, then the price should go up and vice-versa for down.
But it's not so easy to define the good signals for each asset and each timeframe. I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday because ... well... that's what trading is about
So quoting myself here "The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit. "
BUT... a bit of patience and practice and you might do wonders.
The Method
I never realized until now but by connecting the higher highs/lower lows, I was drawing zigzag lines.
The Zig Zag Master is Ricardo Santos . Please give him a follow, he's awesome
For those who don't want to draw on the chart or (my preferred choice) need some inspiration to define your trend directions, this script is for YOU (and your family, your pet, your girlfriend/boyfriend, ...)
I think that each asset/timeframe chart has its own history. What worked in a post could work in the future.
In that regard, if a trend direction worked in the past, that's the parameter that I'll use to trade with it in a demo account and make sure it's relevant. If not then I will adjust
If you're trading with new indicators or a new method right away on your real trading account, you're gonna have a bad time imgflip.com
Lines EVERYWHERE
The script draws the classical horizontal pivots + the zig zag lines + the Higher Highs/Lower Lows label in just 1 script. I'm very excited to share a script (on which I coded 100 lines out of 500) but no one else did it
The horizontal pivots part are coming from Backtest Rookies
For more security, you can add a pullback on a moving average after getting a signal. Pullbacks are necessary to limit any eventual loss or maximize your gains by getting in the trend sooner.
I really give you a solid method and a great script in my opinion. 6 years of experience given away for FREE :p (when Dave will start thinking as a business man instead :O)
Does it repaint ?
Getting this question twice a day. You guys are obsessed with the repainting :)
Short answer, yes because it will calculate the pivots and zig zags whenever new higher highs/lower lows will be formed.
However, the trend direction code is based on the candle close so it shouldn't repaint. If it does, please let me know
See you all on Monday
Love you all
Dave

Reverse Engineered RSI - Key Levels + MTFThis indicator overlays 5 Reverse Engineered RSI (RERSI) levels on your main chart window.
The RERSI was first developed by Giorgos Siligardos in the June 2003 issue of Stocks and Commodities Magazine. HPotter provided the initial implementation - from which this script is derived - so all credit to them (see: ).
In simple terms, RERSI plots lines on the price chart that reflect levels of the RSI . E.g. if you set up a RERSI line at a level of 50, then price will touch that line when the standard RSI indicator reads 50. Hopefully that makes sense, but compare the two if it doesn't.
Why is the RERSI useful if it's just plotting RSI values? Well, it simplifies things, and enables you to get a clearer picture of trend direction, RSI support and resistance levels, RSI trading signals, and it keeps your chart window uncluttered.
I've set up 5 RERSI lines to be plotted: Overbought and Oversold Levels, a Middle Level (generally leave this at 50), and then Down/Up Trend Lines. The latter two are loosely based on the work of Constance Brown (and they in turn were influenced by Andrew Brown), who posited that RSI doesn't breach certain levels during trends (e.g. 40-50 is often a support level during an uptrend).
Play around with the levels, and the RSI Length, to see how your particular market reacts, and where key levels may lie. Remember, this isn't meant as a stand-alone system (although I think there's potential to use it as such, especially with price action trading - which I guess wouldn't make it stand-alone then!!), and works best with confirmation from other sources.
Oh, and there's MTF capability, because I think that's useful for all indicators.
Any queries, please let me know.
Cheers,
RJR Indicator
