High Probability Order Blocks [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script detects and visualizes high-probability order blocks by combining a volatility-based z-score trigger with a statistical survival model inspired by Kaplan-Meier estimation. It builds and manages bullish and bearish order blocks dynamically on the chart, displays live survival probabilities per block, and plots optional rejection signals. What makes this tool unique is its use of historical mitigation behavior to estimate and plot how likely each zone is to persist, offering traders a probabilistic perspective on order block strength—something rarely seen in retail indicators.
🟠 CONCEPTS
Order blocks are regions of strong institutional interest, often marked by large imbalances between buying and selling. This script identifies those areas using z-score thresholds on directional distance (up or down candles), detecting statistically significant moves that signal potential smart money footprints. A bullish block is drawn when a strong up-move (zUp > 4) follows a down candle, and vice versa for bearish blocks. Over time, each block is evaluated: if price “mitigates” it (i.e., closes cleanly past the opposite side and confirmed with a 1 bar delay), it’s considered resolved and logged. These resolved blocks then inform a Kaplan-Meier-like survival curve, estimating the likelihood that future blocks of a given age will remain unbroken. The indicator then draws a probability curve for each side (bull/bear), updating it in real time.
🟠 FEATURES
Live label inside each block showing survival probability or “N.E.D.” if insufficient data.
Kaplan-Meier survival curves drawn directly on the chart to show estimated strength decay.
Rejection markers (▲ ▼) if price bounces cleanly off an active order block.
Alerts for zone creation and rejection signals, supporting rule-based trading workflows.
🟠 USAGE
Read the label inside each block for Age | Survival% (or N.E.D. if there aren’t enough samples yet); higher survival % suggests blocks of that age have historically lasted longer.
Use the right-side survival curves to gauge how probability decays with age for bull vs bear blocks, and align entries with the side showing stronger survival at current age.
Treat ▲ (bullish rejection) and ▼ (bearish rejection) as optional confluence when price tests a boundary and fails to break.
Turn on alerts for “Bullish Zone Created,” “Bearish Zone Created,” and rejection signals so you don’t need to watch constantly.
If your chart gets crowded, enable Prevent Overlap ; tune Max Box Age to your timeframe; and adjust KM Training Window / Minimum Samples to trade off responsiveness vs stability.
インジケーターとストラテジー
Volume + RSI & MA Differential"Volume + RSI & MA Differential," integrates volume, RSI, and moving average differentials to generate trading signals. The script calculates a 14-period RSI to identify overbought or oversold conditions, with customizable thresholds for buy and sell signals. It also computes a 20-period SMA of the volume to smooth out trading activity data, helping to identify trends in market participation.
The script incorporates a fast (50-period) and a slow (200-period) SMA to analyze short-term and long-term trends, respectively. The differential between these moving averages, adjusted by the volume SMA, is used to identify potential trend changes or confirmations. Bars are colored yellow when the RSI is below the buy threshold and volume is high, indicating a potential buy signal. Conversely, bars turn red when the RSI is above the sell threshold and the fast MA is below the current close price, suggesting a potential sell signal. Neutral conditions result in grey bars.
Additionally, the script uses color-coding to plot the volume SMA and a line that changes color based on the moving average differential. A black line indicates a broadening MA cloud and a bullish trend, while a grey line suggests a narrowing MA cloud and a potential selloff. A yellow line signals the beginning of a buyback. This visual representation helps traders quickly identify potential trading opportunities and trend changes, making the script a valuable tool for technical analysis.
Cyclic Reversal Engine [AlgoPoint]Overview
Most indicators focus on price and momentum, but they often ignore a critical third dimension: time. Markets move in rhythmic cycles of expansion and contraction, but these cycles are not fixed; they speed up in trending markets and slow down in choppy conditions.
The Cyclic Reversal Engine is an advanced analytical tool designed to decode this rhythm. Instead of relying on static, lagging formulas, this indicator learns from past market behavior to anticipate when the current trend is statistically likely to reach its exhaustion point, providing high-probability reversal signals.
It achieves this by combining a sophisticated time analysis with a robust price-action confirmation.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage process to identify potential turning points in the market.
1. Market Regime Analysis (The Brain): Before analyzing any cycles, the indicator first diagnoses the current "personality" of the market. Using a combination of the ADX, Choppiness Index, and RSI, it classifies the market into one of three primary regimes:
- Trending: Strong, directional movement.
- Ranging: Sideways, non-directional chop.
- Reversal: An over-extended state (overbought/oversold) where a turn is imminent.
2. Adaptive Cycle Learning (The "Machine Learning" Aspect): This is the indicator's smartest feature. It constantly analyzes past cycles by measuring the bar-count between significant swing highs and swing lows. Crucially, it learns the average cycle duration for each specific market regime. For example, it learns that "in a strong trending market, a new swing low tends to occur every 35 bars," while "in a ranging market, this extends to 60 bars."
3. The Countdown & Timing Signal: The indicator identifies the last major swing high or low and starts a bar-by-bar countdown. Based on the current market regime, it selects the appropriate learned cycle length from its memory. When the bar count approaches this adaptive target, the indicator determines that a reversal is "due" from a timing perspective.
4. Price Confirmation (The Trigger): A signal is never generated based on timing alone. Once the timing condition is met (the cycle is "due"), the indicator waits for a final price-action confirmation. The default confirmation is the RSI entering an extreme overbought or oversold zone, signaling momentum exhaustion. The signal is only triggered when Time + Price Confirmation align.
How to Use This Indicator
- The Dashboard: The panel in the bottom-right corner is your command center.
- Market Regime: Shows the current market personality analyzed by the engine.
- Adaptive Cycle / Bar Count: This is the core of the indicator. It shows the target cycle length for the current regime (e.g., 50) and the current bar count since the last swing point (e.g., 45). The background turns orange when the bar count enters the "due zone," indicating that you should be on high alert for a reversal.
- BUY/SELL Signals: A label appears on the chart only when the two primary conditions are met:
The timing is right (Bar Count has reached the Adaptive Cycle target).
The price confirms exhaustion (RSI is in an extreme zone).
A BUY signal suggests a downtrend cycle is likely complete, and a SELL signal suggests an uptrend cycle is likely complete.
Key Settings
- Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of the swing point detection. Higher values will identify more significant, longer-term cycles.
- Market Regime Engine: The ADX, Choppiness, and RSI settings can be fine-tuned to adjust how the indicator classifies the market's personality.
- Require Price Confirmation: You can toggle the RSI confirmation on or off. It is highly recommended to keep it enabled for higher-quality signals.
Theil-Sen Line Filter [BackQuant]Theil-Sen Line Filter
A robust, median-slope baseline that tracks price while resisting outliers. Designed for the chart pane as a clean, adaptive reference line with optional candle coloring and slope-flip alerts.
What this is
A trend filter that estimates the underlying slope of price using a Theil-Sen style median of past slopes, then advances a baseline by a controlled fraction of that slope each bar. The result is a smooth line that reacts to real directional change while staying calm through noise, gaps, and single-bar shocks.
Why Theil-Sen
Classical moving averages are sensitive to outliers and shape changes. Ordinary least squares is sensitive to large residuals. The Theil-Sen idea replaces a single fragile estimate with the median of many simple slopes, which is statistically robust and less influenced by a few extreme bars. That makes the baseline steadier in choppy conditions and cleaner around regime turns.
What it plots
Filtered baseline that advances by a fraction of the robust slope each bar.
Optional candle coloring by baseline slope sign for quick trend read.
Alerts when the baseline slope turns up or down.
How it behaves (high level)
Looks back over a fixed window and forms many “current vs past” bar-to-bar slopes.
Takes the median of those slopes to get a robust estimate for the bar.
Optionally caps the magnitude of that per-bar slope so a single volatile bar cannot yank the line.
Moves the baseline forward by a user-controlled fraction of the estimated slope. Lower fractions are smoother. Higher fractions are more responsive.
Inputs and what they do
Price Source — the series the filter tracks. Typical is close; HL2 or HLC3 can be smoother.
Window Length — how many bars to consider for slopes. Larger windows are steadier and slower. Smaller windows are quicker and noisier.
Response — fraction of the estimated slope applied each bar. 1.00 follows the robust slope closely; values below 1.00 dampen moves.
Slope Cap Mode — optional guardrail on each bar’s slope:
None — no cap.
ATR — cap scales with recent true range.
Percent — cap scales with price level.
Points — fixed absolute cap in price points.
ATR Length / Mult, Cap Percent, Cap Points — tune the chosen cap mode’s size.
UI Settings — show or hide the line, paint candles by slope, choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Up-slope baseline and green candles indicate a rising robust trend. Pullbacks that do not flip the slope often resolve in trend direction.
Down-slope baseline and red candles indicate a falling robust trend. Bounces against the slope are lower-probability until proven otherwise.
Flat or frequent flips suggest a range. Increase window length or decrease response if you want fewer whipsaws in sideways markets.
Use cases
Bias filter — only take longs when slope is up, shorts when slope is down. It is a simple way to gate faster setups.
Stop or trail reference — use the line as a trailing guide. If price closes beyond the line and the slope flips, consider reducing exposure.
Regime detector — widen the window on higher timeframes to define major up vs down regimes for asset rotation or risk toggles.
Noise control — enable a cap mode in very volatile symbols to retain the line’s continuity through event bars.
Tuning guidance
Quick swing trading — shorter window, higher response, optionally add a percent cap to keep it stable on large moves.
Position trading — longer window, moderate response. ATR cap tends to scale well across cycles.
Low-liquidity or gappy charts — prefer longer window and a points or ATR cap. That reduces jumpiness around discontinuities.
Alerts included
Theil-Sen Up Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses above zero.
Theil-Sen Down Slope — baseline’s one-bar change crosses below zero.
Strengths
Robust to outliers through median-based slope estimation.
Continuously advances with price rather than re-anchoring, which reduces lag at turns.
User-selectable slope caps to tame shock bars without over-smoothing everything.
Minimal visuals with optional candle painting for fast regime recognition.
Notes
This is a filter, not a trading system. It does not account for execution, spreads, or gaps. Pair it with entry logic, risk management, and higher-timeframe context if you plan to use it for decisions.
Fisher Volume Transform | AlphaNattFisher Volume Transform | AlphaNatt
A powerful oscillator that applies the Fisher Transform - converting price into a Gaussian normal distribution - while incorporating volume weighting to identify high-probability reversal points with institutional participation.
"The Fisher Transform reveals what statistics professors have known for decades: when you transform market data into a normal distribution, turning points become crystal clear."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎲 THE MATHEMATICS
Fisher Transform Formula:
The Fisher Transform converts any bounded dataset into a Gaussian distribution:
y = 0.5 × ln((1 + x) / (1 - x))
Where x is normalized price (-1 to 1 range)
Why This Matters:
Market extremes become statistically identifiable
Turning points are amplified and clarified
Removes the skew from price distributions
Creates nearly instantaneous signals at reversals
Volume Integration:
Unlike standard Fisher Transform, this version weights price by relative volume:
High volume moves get more weight
Low volume moves get filtered out
Identifies institutional participation
Reduces false signals from retail chop
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 KEY ADVANTAGES
Statistical Edge: Transforms price into normal distribution where extremes are mathematically defined
Volume Confirmation: Only signals with volume support
Early Reversal Detection: Fisher Transform amplifies turning points
Clean Signals: Gaussian distribution reduces noise
No Lag: Mathematical transformation, not averaging
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS OPTIMIZATION
Fisher Period (5-30):
5-9: Very sensitive, many signals
10: Default - balanced sensitivity
15-20: Moderate smoothing
25-30: Major reversals only
Volume Weight (0.1-1.0):
0.1-0.3: Minimal volume influence
0.5-0.7: Balanced price/volume
0.7: Default - strong volume weight
0.8-1.0: Volume dominant

Requires Confirmation: Signals should always be confirmed with other indicators or price action analysis
Not Predictive: The indicator identifies current market conditions but does not predict future price movements
NOTES
ALMA Algorithm: The indicator uses the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) algorithm, which is known for its excellent smoothing capabilities and reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages
Weighted Price Calculations: The bear market zone uses (2low + close) / 3, while the bull market zone uses (high + 2close) / 3, providing more weight to recent price action
Dynamic Zones: The support and resistance zones are dynamic and adapt to changing market conditions, making them more responsive than static levels
Color Psychology: The color scheme follows traditional trading psychology - green for bullish, red for bearish, and white for neutral
Signal Timing: The signals are generated on the close of each bar, ensuring they are based on complete price action
Label Positioning: Buy signals appear below the bar (red "B" label), while sell signals appear above the bar (green "S" label)
Multiple Timeframes: The indicator can be applied to multiple timeframes simultaneously for comprehensive analysis
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques when trading based on indicator signals
Market Context: Consider the overall market context and trend direction when interpreting signals
Confirmation: Look for confirmation from other indicators or price action patterns before entering trades

THANKS
Special thanks to the TradingView community and the Pine Script developers for creating such a powerful and flexible platform for technical analysis. This indicator builds upon the foundation of the ALMA algorithm and various moving average techniques developed by technical analysis pioneers. The concept of dynamic support and resistance zones has been refined over decades of market analysis, and this script represents a modern implementation of these timeless principles. We acknowledge the contributions of all traders and developers who have contributed to the evolution of technical analysis and continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with algorithmic trading tools.
TEWMA - [JTCAPITAL]Triple Exponential Weighted Moving Average is a modified way to use Weighted Triple Moving Averages for Trend-Following
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
1. The length gets multiplied by the multi to get the second length.
2. The Triple Exponential Moving Average gets calculated using the Weighted Moving Average as input.
3. This calculation is done over the first and the second length.
4. The average from both calculations is taken and used for buy and sell conditions.
--Buy and sell conditions--
-The buy and sell conditions are defined by the average of both indicators having a higher value than the previous bar.
-Average higher than the previous average = Long
-Average lower than the previous average = Short
--Features and Parameters--
-Allows the usage of different sources
-Allows the changing of the calculation length
-Allows the changing of the multiplier to determine the second length
-Allows the use of alerts for signal changes
--Details--
This script uses the result of the calculation of the Weighted Moving Averages as inputs for the Triple Moving averages. The usage of 2 separate calculations and using the average of them for trend determination is to allow for faster entries and exits while limiting potential false signals.

TRAPPER TRENDLINES — RSIBuilds dynamic RSI trendlines by connecting the two most recent confirmed RSI swing points (highs→highs for resistance, lows→lows for support). Includes optional channel shading for the 30–70 zone, an RSI moving average, clean break alerts, and simple bullish/bearish divergence alerts versus price.
How it works
RSI pivots: A point on RSI is a swing high/low only if it is the most extreme value compared with a set number of bars on the left and the right (the Pivot Lookback).
RSI trendlines:
Resistance connects the last two confirmed RSI swing highs.
Support connects the last two confirmed RSI swing lows.
Lines can be Full Extend (update into the future) or Pivot Only.
Channel block: Optional fill of the 30–70 range for fast visual context.
Alerts:
Breaks of RSI support/resistance trendlines.
Basic bullish/bearish RSI divergences versus price pivots.
Inputs
RSI
RSI Length: Default 14 (standard).
Pivot Lookback: Bars to the left/right required to confirm an RSI swing.
Overbought / Oversold: 70 / 30 by default.
Line Extension: Full Extend or Pivot Only.
Visuals
Show RSI Moving Average / Signal Length: Optional smoothing line on RSI.
RSI/Signal colors: Customize plot colors.
Show 30–70 Channel Block: Toggle the middle-zone fill.
Tint pane background when RSI in channel: Optional subtle background when RSI is between OB/OS.
Divergences & Alerts
Enable RSI TL Break Alerts: Alert conditions for RSI line breaks.
Enable Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence alerts versus price.
Pairing with price for confluence/divergence
For accurate confluence and clearer divergences, align this RSI tool with your price trendline tool (for example, TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE):
Set RSI Pivot Lookback equal to the Pivot Left/Right size used on price.
Example: Price uses Pivot Left = 50 and Pivot Right = 50 → set RSI Pivot Lookback = 50.
Keep RSI Length = 14 and OB/OS = 70/30 unless you have a specific edge.
Interpretation:
Confluence: Price reacts at its trendline while RSI reacts at its own line in the same direction.
Divergence: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high (bearish), or price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low (bullish), using matched pivot windows.
Suggested settings
Higher timeframes (4H / 1D / 1W): Pivot Lookback = 50; optional RSI MA length 14; channel block ON.
Intraday (15m / 30m / 1H): Pivot Lookback = 30; optional RSI MA length 14.
Always mirror your price pivot size to this RSI Pivot Lookback for consistent swings.
Reading the signals
RSI trendline touch/hold: Momentum reacting at structure; look for confluence with price levels.
RSI Trendline Break Up / Down: Momentum shift; consider price structure and retests.
Bullish/Bearish Divergence: Confirm only when pivots are matched and the new swing is confirmed.
Notes & limitations
Pivots require future bars to confirm by design; trendlines update as new swings confirm.
Divergence logic compares RSI pivots to price pivots with the same lookback; mismatched windows can produce false positives.
No strategy entries/exits or performance claims are provided. This is an analytical tool.
Alerts (titles/messages)
RSI: Trendline Break Up — “RSI broke falling resistance line.”
RSI: Trendline Break Down — “RSI broke rising support line.”
RSI: Bullish Divergence — “Bullish RSI divergence confirmed.”
RSI: Bearish Divergence — “Bearish RSI divergence confirmed.”
Quick start
Add the indicator to a separate pane.
Set Pivot Lookback to match your price tool’s pivot size (e.g., 50).
Optionally toggle the RSI MA and Channel Block for clarity.
Enable alerts if you want notifications on RSI line breaks and divergences.
Use with TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE or any price-based trendline tool for confluence/divergence analysis.

Supertrend [TradingConToto]Supertrend — ADX/DI + EMA Gap + Breakout (with Mobile UI)
What makes it original
Supertrend combines trend strength (ADX/DI), multi-timeframe bias (EMA63 and EMA 200D equivalent), a structural filter based on the distance between EMA2400 and EMA4800 expressed in ATR units, and a momentum confirmation through a previous high breakout.
This is not a random mashup — it’s a sequence of filters designed to reduce trades in ranging markets and prioritize mature trends:
Direction: +DI > -DI (trend led by buyers).
Strength: ADX > mean(ADX) (avoids weak, choppy phases).
Short-term bias: Close > EMA63.
Long-term bias: Close > EMA4800 ≈ EMA200 daily on H1.
Momentum: Close > High (immediate breakout).
Structure: (EMA2400 − EMA4800) > k·ATR (ensures separation in ATR units, filters out flat phases).
Entries & exits
Entry: when all six conditions are met and no open position exists.
Exit: if +DI < -DI or Close < EMA63.
Visuals: EMA63 is painted green while in position and red otherwise, with a supertrend-style band; “BUY” labels appear below the green band and “SELL” labels above the red band.
UI: includes a compact table (mobile-friendly) showing the state of each condition.
Default parameters used in this publication
Initial capital: 10,000
Position size: 10% of equity (≤10% per trade is considered sustainable).
Commission: 0.01% per side (adjust to your broker/market).
Slippage: 1 tick
Pyramiding: 0 (only one position at a time)
Adjust commission/slippage to match your market. For US equities, commissions are often per share; for spot crypto, 0.10–0.20% total is common. I publish with 0.01% per side as a conservative example to avoid overestimating results.
Recommended backtest dataset
Timeframe: H1
Multi-cycle window (e.g. 2015–today)
Symbols with high liquidity (e.g. NASDAQ-100 large caps, or BTC/ETH spot) to generate 100+ trades. Avoid cherry-picked short windows.
Why each filter matters
+DI > -DI + ADX > mean: reduce counter-trend trades and weak signals.
Close > EMA63 + Close > EMA4800: enforce trend alignment in short and long horizons.
Breakout High : requires immediate momentum, avoids early entries.
EMA gap in ATR units: blocks flat or compressed structures where EMA200D aligns with price.
Limitations
The breakout filter may skip healthy pullbacks; the design prioritizes continuation over perfect entry price.
No fixed trailing stop/TP; exits depend on trend degradation via DI/EMA63.
Results vary with real costs (commissions, slippage, funding). Adjust defaults to your broker.
How to use
Apply it on a clean chart (no other indicators when publishing).

Volumetric Compressed MAVCMA (Volumetric Compressed Moving Average) uses the compressor and weighted standard deviation functions originally translated to pinescript by @gorx1 to plot moving averages in order to use for entry confirmation.
🔹 Concepts and Idea:
When we do music we always use different kinds of filters (low-pass, high pass, etc) for equalization and filtering itself. That stuff we use in finance as well. What we also always use in music are compressors, there dynamic processors that automatically adjust volume so it will be more consistent. Almost all the cool music you hear is compressed (both individual instruments (especially vocals) and the whole track afterwards), otherwise stuff will be too quite and too weak to flex on it, and also DJing it would be a nightmare.
🔹 Model:
I don't wanna explain it all in statistical / DSP way for once.
First of all, I think the population of volumes is log-normally distributed, so let's take logs of volumes, now we have a ~ normally distributed data. We take linearly weighted mean, add and subtract linearly weighted standard deviation from it, these would be our thresholds, the borders between different kinds of volumes explained before.
The upper threshold is for downward compression, that will not let volume pass it higher.
The lower threshold is for upward compression, all the volumes lower than this threshold will be brought up to the threshold's level.
Then we apply multipliers to the thresholds in order to adjust em and find the sweet spots. We do it the same way as in sound engineering when we don't aim for overcompression, we adjust the thresholds until they start to touch the signal and all good.
Afterwards, we delete all the number 1 and number 3 volume, leaving us exclusively with the clear main component, ready to be processed further.
We return the volumes to dem real scale.
For more info on Volume Compression it's highly advised to check @gorx1's initial script Volume Compressor
🔹 Settings:
MA Type: Moving average type to be used for comparison after calculating the compressed version of volume. This creates the second line after the compression line, so we can consider crossovers for confirmation entries.
Upward threshold: Upward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Increasing usually causes smoother lines.
Downward threshold: Downward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Decreasing usually causes smoother lines.
Compression Lookback: The Main lookback window of a volume that is used for compression. Increasing this would provide smoother lines but might cause delayed signals. Decreasing means more signals, but might cause whiplash and distorted signals.
Comparative Lookback: This is our lookback to be used with our ma type selection. There is no static better or worse lookback value for this indicator. It should be adjusted based on the pair.
🔹 Where to use:
This indicator should be used as another confirmation tool for your entry signals in your existing strategy/market following combination. Green dots (crossovers) mean bullish movement is expected, and red dots (crossbounders) mean bearish movement is expected. Automated crossover alerts are available. A reminder is that this kind of indicator should not be used on its own for trading, but rather should be used as a confirmation along with your trend detection and main entry indicators to provide additional confidence.
If you want to know under the hood, read the How it works section below.
🔹 How it works:
//This is our main compression calculation, which is used for the first line.
Compressed_out = compressor(volume, len_window, up_thresh, down_thresh)
//This is the secondary ratio calculation that we use for the second line.
Comp_ma = ma(ma_type, close * compressed_out, len_ml) / ma(ma_type, compressed_out, len_ml)
Vwma = ma(ma_type, close, len_window)
We calculate the ratio of the compressed volume and plot it against the base MA. Base MA's length is determined by the Compression Lookback input compared to the Comperative Lookback that is used for the compressed version. This provides us with another possible confirmation indicator that can be used to take advantage of volume ranges.

Argentum Flag [AGP]Ver.2.1Technical Description of the "Argentum Flag " Indicator
The "Argentum Flag " is a multifaceted trading indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining elements of trend, volatility, momentum, and volume analysis. Its architecture is built on the synergy of multiple technical tools, allowing traders to make more informed decisions by reducing market noise and focusing on high-probability inflection points.
1. Dynamic AGP Bands (EMA 36 and Percentage Levels)
The core of the indicator is a 36-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as the price's baseline and center of gravity. From this EMA, the script plots dynamic bands at predefined percentages (Base, Prime, and Vortex).
Logic: These bands are not static like Bollinger Bands; they expand and contract in response to the underlying EMA. This methodology helps identify relative volatility and trend strength. When the price trades within these bands, it's considered to be in a range or a controlled consolidation.
Benefit to the Trader: They provide a quick visual of dynamic support and resistance levels. A price movement beyond the Vortex band can signal an extreme market imbalance, suggesting potential trend exhaustion or a high-energy breakout.
2. Breakout Signals (Signals)
The indicator generates plotshape signals when the price stays outside the volatility bands for a specific number of consecutive bars (2 for the Prime band and 3 for the Vortex band).
Logic: These signals act as an overextension detection system. The underlying principle is that once the price breaks and holds outside these zones, the probability of a pullback or a reversal increases significantly. The lastSignalBarIndex logic prevents signal overload and ensures a cooling-off period, eliminating noise from consecutive signals.
Benefit to the Trader: It provides clear visual alerts for taking profits or looking for potential reversals. A trader can use the Vortex band exit signal (⌾) as confirmation to close a long or short position, while the Prime band signal (⍲) can indicate a potential pullback for a trend-following entry.
3. Bar Volume Analysis (Barcolor)
The script introduces a sophisticated bar coloring system that classifies volume activity relative to a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Logic: The coloring is based not only on whether the bar is bullish or bearish but also on the magnitude of the volume. For instance, extreme volume (more than 3.5 times the average volume) is colored blue, indicating institutional participation or a high-impact event. High (1.8x) or average (0.6x - 1.7x) volume is distinguished with other colors, providing a visual map of the underlying strength behind each price move.
Benefit to the Trader: It allows for a quick identification of bars with the highest market conviction. A bearish price bar with extreme volume (extreme_volume_bearish) might signal significant liquidation, while a bullish bar with extreme volume (extreme_volume_bullish) could suggest strong accumulation.
4. Real-Time Monitoring Tables (EMA and RSI)
The indicator includes two data tables in the bottom corner of the screen, acting as a dashboard for multi-timeframe analysis.
EMA Table (Fibonacci): This table shows the current values of a series of Fibonacci-based EMAs (13, 21, 34, etc.). The background color of each cell indicates whether the current price is above (white) or below (blue) the corresponding EMA.
Logic: This table allows traders to assess the trend bias across different timeframes, from short to long-term. An alignment of multiple EMAs in the same direction (e.g., all white) confirms a strong trend.
Benefit to the Trader: It provides a quick check for trend confirmation. For example, before opening a long position on a 5-minute chart, a trader can verify if the overall trend on higher timeframes (e.g., 4h or 1D) is also bullish.
RSI Table (Multi-Timeframe): This table shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values across multiple timeframes, from 1 minute to monthly. The cell lights up orange if the RSI is in the overbought zone (> 77) or white if it's in the oversold zone (< 23).
Logic: The use of request.security enables the fetching of data from other timeframes on the current bar. This is a crucial component for multi-timeframe divergence analysis.
Benefit to the Trader: It helps identify overbought or oversold conditions across different trading horizons, which is vital for spotting large-scale reversals. If the 1D and 4h RSIs are overbought, a long position on a lower timeframe could be high-risk.
Competitive Advantages for Traders
The "Argentum Flag " is not just a simple indicator; it's a consolidated technical analysis suite that saves time and effort. Instead of overlaying multiple indicators, a trader gets all the relevant information in a single view. The contextualized volume analysis and volatility-based signals are invaluable tools for filtering out low-quality entries and exits. Finally, the real-time monitoring tables provide a multi-timeframe perspective that is fundamental for validating market direction and managing risk.
In trading, the convergence of multiple technical data points is key to increasing the probability of success. This indicator provides precisely that convergence, enabling both novice and experienced traders to make more precise and strategic decisions.

Tzotchev Trend Measure [EdgeTools]Are you still measuring trend strength with moving averages? Here is a better variant at scientific level:
Tzotchev Trend Measure: A Statistical Approach to Trend Following
The Tzotchev Trend Measure represents a sophisticated advancement in quantitative trend analysis, moving beyond traditional moving average-based indicators toward a statistically rigorous framework for measuring trend strength. This indicator implements the methodology developed by Tzotchev et al. (2015) in their seminal J.P. Morgan research paper "Designing robust trend-following system: Behind the scenes of trend-following," which introduced a probabilistic approach to trend measurement that has since become a cornerstone of institutional trading strategies.
Mathematical Foundation and Statistical Theory
The core innovation of the Tzotchev Trend Measure lies in its transformation of price momentum into a probability-based metric through the application of statistical hypothesis testing principles. The indicator employs the fundamental formula ST = 2 × Φ(√T × r̄T / σ̂T) - 1, where ST represents the trend strength score bounded between -1 and +1, Φ(x) denotes the normal cumulative distribution function, T represents the lookback period in trading days, r̄T is the average logarithmic return over the specified period, and σ̂T represents the estimated daily return volatility.
This formulation transforms what is essentially a t-statistic into a probabilistic trend measure, testing the null hypothesis that the mean return equals zero against the alternative hypothesis of non-zero mean return. The use of logarithmic returns rather than simple returns provides several statistical advantages, including symmetry properties where log(P₁/P₀) = -log(P₀/P₁), additivity characteristics that allow for proper compounding analysis, and improved validity of normal distribution assumptions that underpin the statistical framework.
The implementation utilizes the Abramowitz and Stegun (1964) approximation for the normal cumulative distribution function, achieving accuracy within ±1.5 × 10⁻⁷ for all input values. This approximation employs Horner's method for polynomial evaluation to ensure numerical stability, particularly important when processing large datasets or extreme market conditions.
Comparative Analysis with Traditional Trend Measurement Methods
The Tzotchev Trend Measure demonstrates significant theoretical and empirical advantages over conventional trend analysis techniques. Traditional moving average-based systems, including simple moving averages (SMA), exponential moving averages (EMA), and their derivatives such as MACD, suffer from several fundamental limitations that the Tzotchev methodology addresses systematically.
Moving average systems exhibit inherent lag bias, as documented by Kaufman (2013) in "Trading Systems and Methods," where he demonstrates that moving averages inevitably lag price movements by approximately half their period length. This lag creates delayed signal generation that reduces profitability in trending markets and increases false signal frequency during consolidation periods. In contrast, the Tzotchev measure eliminates lag bias by directly analyzing the statistical properties of return distributions rather than smoothing price levels.
The volatility normalization inherent in the Tzotchev formula addresses a critical weakness in traditional momentum indicators. As shown by Bollinger (2001) in "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands," momentum oscillators like RSI and Stochastic fail to account for changing volatility regimes, leading to inconsistent signal interpretation across different market conditions. The Tzotchev measure's incorporation of return volatility in the denominator ensures that trend strength assessments remain consistent regardless of the underlying volatility environment.
Empirical studies by Hurst, Ooi, and Pedersen (2013) in "Demystifying Managed Futures" demonstrate that traditional trend-following indicators suffer from significant drawdowns during whipsaw markets, with Sharpe ratios frequently below 0.5 during challenging periods. The authors attribute these poor performance characteristics to the binary nature of most trend signals and their inability to quantify signal confidence. The Tzotchev measure addresses this limitation by providing continuous probability-based outputs that allow for more sophisticated risk management and position sizing strategies.
The statistical foundation of the Tzotchev approach provides superior robustness compared to technical indicators that lack theoretical grounding. Fama and French (1988) in "Permanent and Temporary Components of Stock Prices" established that price movements contain both permanent and temporary components, with traditional moving averages unable to distinguish between these elements effectively. The Tzotchev methodology's hypothesis testing framework specifically tests for the presence of permanent trend components while filtering out temporary noise, providing a more theoretically sound approach to trend identification.
Research by Moskowitz, Ooi, and Pedersen (2012) in "Time Series Momentum in the Cross Section of Asset Returns" found that traditional momentum indicators exhibit significant variation in effectiveness across asset classes and time periods. Their study of multiple asset classes over decades revealed that simple price-based momentum measures often fail to capture persistent trends in fixed income and commodity markets. The Tzotchev measure's normalization by volatility and its probabilistic interpretation provide consistent performance across diverse asset classes, as demonstrated in the original J.P. Morgan research.
Comparative performance studies conducted by AQR Capital Management (Asness, Moskowitz, and Pedersen, 2013) in "Value and Momentum Everywhere" show that volatility-adjusted momentum measures significantly outperform traditional price momentum across international equity, bond, commodity, and currency markets. The study documents Sharpe ratio improvements of 0.2 to 0.4 when incorporating volatility normalization, consistent with the theoretical advantages of the Tzotchev approach.
The regime detection capabilities of the Tzotchev measure provide additional advantages over binary trend classification systems. Research by Ang and Bekaert (2002) in "Regime Switches in Interest Rates" demonstrates that financial markets exhibit distinct regime characteristics that traditional indicators fail to capture adequately. The Tzotchev measure's five-tier classification system (Strong Bull, Weak Bull, Neutral, Weak Bear, Strong Bear) provides more nuanced market state identification than simple trend/no-trend binary systems.
Statistical testing by Jegadeesh and Titman (2001) in "Profitability of Momentum Strategies" revealed that traditional momentum indicators suffer from significant parameter instability, with optimal lookback periods varying substantially across market conditions and asset classes. The Tzotchev measure's statistical framework provides more stable parameter selection through its grounding in hypothesis testing theory, reducing the need for frequent parameter optimization that can lead to overfitting.
Advanced Noise Filtering and Market Regime Detection
A significant enhancement over the original Tzotchev methodology is the incorporation of a multi-factor noise filtering system designed to reduce false signals during sideways market conditions. The filtering mechanism employs four distinct approaches: adaptive thresholding based on current market regime strength, volatility-based filtering utilizing ATR percentile analysis, trend strength confirmation through momentum alignment, and a comprehensive multi-factor approach that combines all methodologies.
The adaptive filtering system analyzes market microstructure through price change relative to average true range, calculates volatility percentiles over rolling windows, and assesses trend alignment across multiple timeframes using exponential moving averages of varying periods. This approach addresses one of the primary limitations identified in traditional trend-following systems, namely their tendency to generate excessive false signals during periods of low volatility or sideways price action.
The regime detection component classifies market conditions into five distinct categories: Strong Bull (ST > 0.3), Weak Bull (0.1 < ST ≤ 0.3), Neutral (-0.1 ≤ ST ≤ 0.1), Weak Bear (-0.3 ≤ ST < -0.1), and Strong Bear (ST < -0.3). This classification system provides traders with clear, quantitative definitions of market regimes that can inform position sizing, risk management, and strategy selection decisions.
Professional Implementation and Trading Applications
The indicator incorporates three distinct trading profiles designed to accommodate different investment approaches and risk tolerances. The Conservative profile employs longer lookback periods (63 days), higher signal thresholds (0.2), and reduced filter sensitivity (0.5) to minimize false signals and focus on major trend changes. The Balanced profile utilizes standard academic parameters with moderate settings across all dimensions. The Aggressive profile implements shorter lookback periods (14 days), lower signal thresholds (-0.1), and increased filter sensitivity (1.5) to capture shorter-term trend movements.
Signal generation occurs through threshold crossover analysis, where long signals are generated when the trend measure crosses above the specified threshold and short signals when it crosses below. The implementation includes sophisticated signal confirmation mechanisms that consider trend alignment across multiple timeframes and momentum strength percentiles to reduce the likelihood of false breakouts.
The alert system provides real-time notifications for trend threshold crossovers, strong regime changes, and signal generation events, with configurable frequency controls to prevent notification spam. Alert messages are standardized to ensure consistency across different market conditions and timeframes.
Performance Optimization and Computational Efficiency
The implementation incorporates several performance optimization features designed to handle large datasets efficiently. The maximum bars back parameter allows users to control historical calculation depth, with default settings optimized for most trading applications while providing flexibility for extended historical analysis. The system includes automatic performance monitoring that generates warnings when computational limits are approached.
Error handling mechanisms protect against division by zero conditions, infinite values, and other numerical instabilities that can occur during extreme market conditions. The finite value checking system ensures data integrity throughout the calculation process, with fallback mechanisms that maintain indicator functionality even when encountering corrupted or missing price data.
Timeframe validation provides warnings when the indicator is applied to unsuitable timeframes, as the Tzotchev methodology was specifically designed for daily and higher timeframe analysis. This validation helps prevent misapplication of the indicator in contexts where its statistical assumptions may not hold.
Visual Design and User Interface
The indicator features eight professional color schemes designed for different trading environments and user preferences. The EdgeTools theme provides an institutional blue and steel color palette suitable for professional trading environments. The Gold theme offers warm colors optimized for commodities trading. The Behavioral theme incorporates psychology-based color contrasts that align with behavioral finance principles. The Quant theme provides neutral colors suitable for analytical applications.
Additional specialized themes include Ocean, Fire, Matrix, and Arctic variations, each optimized for specific visual preferences and trading contexts. All color schemes include automatic dark and light mode optimization to ensure optimal readability across different chart backgrounds and trading platforms.
The information table provides real-time display of key metrics including current trend measure value, market regime classification, signal strength, Z-score, average returns, volatility measures, filter threshold levels, and filter effectiveness percentages. This comprehensive dashboard allows traders to monitor all relevant indicator components simultaneously.
Theoretical Implications and Research Context
The Tzotchev Trend Measure addresses several theoretical limitations inherent in traditional technical analysis approaches. Unlike moving average-based systems that rely on price level comparisons, this methodology grounds trend analysis in statistical hypothesis testing, providing a more robust theoretical foundation for trading decisions.
The probabilistic interpretation of trend strength offers significant advantages over binary trend classification systems. Rather than simply indicating whether a trend exists, the measure quantifies the statistical confidence level associated with the trend assessment, allowing for more nuanced risk management and position sizing decisions.
The incorporation of volatility normalization addresses the well-documented problem of volatility clustering in financial time series, ensuring that trend strength assessments remain consistent across different market volatility regimes. This normalization is particularly important for portfolio management applications where consistent risk metrics across different assets and time periods are essential.
Practical Applications and Trading Strategy Integration
The Tzotchev Trend Measure can be effectively integrated into various trading strategies and portfolio management frameworks. For trend-following strategies, the indicator provides clear entry and exit signals with quantified confidence levels. For mean reversion strategies, extreme readings can signal potential turning points. For portfolio allocation, the regime classification system can inform dynamic asset allocation decisions.
The indicator's statistical foundation makes it particularly suitable for quantitative trading strategies where systematic, rules-based approaches are preferred over discretionary decision-making. The standardized output range facilitates easy integration with position sizing algorithms and risk management systems.
Risk management applications benefit from the indicator's ability to quantify trend strength and provide early warning signals of potential trend changes. The multi-timeframe analysis capability allows for the construction of robust risk management frameworks that consider both short-term tactical and long-term strategic market conditions.
Implementation Guide and Parameter Configuration
The practical application of the Tzotchev Trend Measure requires careful parameter configuration to optimize performance for specific trading objectives and market conditions. This section provides comprehensive guidance for parameter selection and indicator customization.
Core Calculation Parameters
The Lookback Period parameter controls the statistical window used for trend calculation and represents the most critical setting for the indicator. Default values range from 14 to 63 trading days, with shorter periods (14-21 days) providing more sensitive trend detection suitable for short-term trading strategies, while longer periods (42-63 days) offer more stable trend identification appropriate for position trading and long-term investment strategies. The parameter directly influences the statistical significance of trend measurements, with longer periods requiring stronger underlying trends to generate significant signals but providing greater reliability in trend identification.
The Price Source parameter determines which price series is used for return calculations. The default close price provides standard trend analysis, while alternative selections such as high-low midpoint ((high + low) / 2) can reduce noise in volatile markets, and volume-weighted average price (VWAP) offers superior trend identification in institutional trading environments where volume concentration matters significantly.
The Signal Threshold parameter establishes the minimum trend strength required for signal generation, with values ranging from -0.5 to 0.5. Conservative threshold settings (0.2 to 0.3) reduce false signals but may miss early trend opportunities, while aggressive settings (-0.1 to 0.1) provide earlier signal generation at the cost of increased false positive rates. The optimal threshold depends on the trader's risk tolerance and the volatility characteristics of the traded instrument.
Trading Profile Configuration
The Trading Profile system provides pre-configured parameter sets optimized for different trading approaches. The Conservative profile employs a 63-day lookback period with a 0.2 signal threshold and 0.5 noise sensitivity, designed for long-term position traders seeking high-probability trend signals with minimal false positives. The Balanced profile uses a 21-day lookback with 0.05 signal threshold and 1.0 noise sensitivity, suitable for swing traders requiring moderate signal frequency with acceptable noise levels. The Aggressive profile implements a 14-day lookback with -0.1 signal threshold and 1.5 noise sensitivity, optimized for day traders and scalpers requiring frequent signal generation despite higher noise levels.
Advanced Noise Filtering System
The noise filtering mechanism addresses the challenge of false signals during sideways market conditions through four distinct methodologies. The Adaptive filter adjusts thresholds based on current trend strength, increasing sensitivity during strong trending periods while raising thresholds during consolidation phases. The Volatility-based filter utilizes Average True Range (ATR) percentile analysis to suppress signals during abnormally volatile conditions that typically generate false trend indications.
The Trend Strength filter requires alignment between multiple momentum indicators before confirming signals, reducing the probability of false breakouts from consolidation patterns. The Multi-factor approach combines all filtering methodologies using weighted scoring to provide the most robust noise reduction while maintaining signal responsiveness during genuine trend initiations.
The Noise Sensitivity parameter controls the aggressiveness of the filtering system, with lower values (0.5-1.0) providing conservative filtering suitable for volatile instruments, while higher values (1.5-2.0) allow more signals through but may increase false positive rates during choppy market conditions.
Visual Customization and Display Options
The Color Scheme parameter offers eight professional visualization options designed for different analytical preferences and market conditions. The EdgeTools scheme provides high contrast visualization optimized for trend strength differentiation, while the Gold scheme offers warm tones suitable for commodity analysis. The Behavioral scheme uses psychological color associations to enhance decision-making speed, and the Quant scheme provides neutral colors appropriate for quantitative analysis environments.
The Ocean, Fire, Matrix, and Arctic schemes offer additional aesthetic options while maintaining analytical functionality. Each scheme includes optimized colors for both light and dark chart backgrounds, ensuring visibility across different trading platform configurations.
The Show Glow Effects parameter enhances plot visibility through multiple layered lines with progressive transparency, particularly useful when analyzing multiple timeframes simultaneously or when working with dense price data that might obscure trend signals.
Performance Optimization Settings
The Maximum Bars Back parameter controls the historical data depth available for calculations, with values ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 bars. Higher values enable analysis of longer-term trend patterns but may impact indicator loading speed on slower systems or when applied to multiple instruments simultaneously. The optimal setting depends on the intended analysis timeframe and available computational resources.
The Calculate on Every Tick parameter determines whether the indicator updates with every price change or only at bar close. Real-time calculation provides immediate signal updates suitable for scalping and day trading strategies, while bar-close calculation reduces computational overhead and eliminates signal flickering during bar formation, preferred for swing trading and position management applications.
Alert System Configuration
The Alert Frequency parameter controls notification generation, with options for all signals, bar close only, or once per bar. High-frequency trading strategies benefit from all signals mode, while position traders typically prefer bar close alerts to avoid premature position entries based on intrabar fluctuations.
The alert system generates four distinct notification types: Long Signal alerts when the trend measure crosses above the positive signal threshold, Short Signal alerts for negative threshold crossings, Bull Regime alerts when entering strong bullish conditions, and Bear Regime alerts for strong bearish regime identification.
Table Display and Information Management
The information table provides real-time statistical metrics including current trend value, regime classification, signal status, and filter effectiveness measurements. The table position can be customized for optimal screen real estate utilization, and individual metrics can be toggled based on analytical requirements.
The Language parameter supports both English and German display options for international users, while maintaining consistent calculation methodology regardless of display language selection.
Risk Management Integration
Effective risk management integration requires coordination between the trend measure signals and position sizing algorithms. Strong trend readings (above 0.5 or below -0.5) support larger position sizes due to higher probability of trend continuation, while neutral readings (between -0.2 and 0.2) suggest reduced position sizes or range-trading strategies.
The regime classification system provides additional risk management context, with Strong Bull and Strong Bear regimes supporting trend-following strategies, while Neutral regimes indicate potential for mean reversion approaches. The filter effectiveness metric helps traders assess current market conditions and adjust strategy parameters accordingly.
Timeframe Considerations and Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator's effectiveness varies across different timeframes, with higher timeframes (daily, weekly) providing more reliable trend identification but slower signal generation, while lower timeframes (hourly, 15-minute) offer faster signals with increased noise levels. Multi-timeframe analysis combining trend alignment across multiple periods significantly improves signal quality and reduces false positive rates.
For optimal results, traders should consider trend alignment between the primary trading timeframe and at least one higher timeframe before entering positions. Divergences between timeframes often signal potential trend reversals or consolidation periods requiring strategy adjustment.
Conclusion
The Tzotchev Trend Measure represents a significant advancement in technical analysis methodology, combining rigorous statistical foundations with practical trading applications. Its implementation of the J.P. Morgan research methodology provides institutional-quality trend analysis capabilities previously available only to sophisticated quantitative trading firms.
The comprehensive parameter configuration options enable customization for diverse trading styles and market conditions, while the advanced noise filtering and regime detection capabilities provide superior signal quality compared to traditional trend-following indicators. Proper parameter selection and understanding of the indicator's statistical foundation are essential for achieving optimal trading results and effective risk management.
