Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro @darshakssc1. What This Indicator Is (In Simple Terms)
The Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro is a visual tool that helps you see how price behaves around a statistically derived “fair-value zone”:
A colored ribbon/cloud marks a central “fair” area.
Areas above the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair High Zone”.
Areas below the ribbon are labeled as “Unfair Low Zone”.
A small state panel tells you where price currently sits relative to this ribbon.
All calculations are based only on historical price, volume, and volatility.
It does not predict future price, does not give buy/sell signals, and is not financial advice.
2. Adding the Indicator
Open a chart on TradingView.
Click on Indicators .
Search for “Dynamic Fair-Value Ribbon Pro” .
Click to add it to your chart.
You will see:
A cloud/ribbon around price.
Colored bars when price is outside the ribbon.
A panel in the top right describing the current state.
3. Core Concept: Fair vs Unfair Zones (Analytical Only)
The indicator tries to answer a descriptive question:
“Where is price trading relative to a historically derived central area?”
It does this by:
Calculating a central value (“fair mid”).
Building a band around that mid.
Coloring the chart depending on whether price is inside or outside that band.
It is not claiming that:
Price “must” return to the band.
Price is “overvalued” or “undervalued”.
Any state is good or bad.
It is simply a visual classification tool .
4. Engine Modes — How the Ribbon Is Calculated
Under “Fair-Value Engine” you can choose:
4.1 Mode 1: Range
Looks back over a chosen number of bars (default: 100).
Finds the highest high and lowest low in that window.
Defines a central “slice” of that range as the fair-value ribbon :
Range Mode: Lower Percent → bottom boundary of the slice (e.g., 30%).
Range Mode: Upper Percent → top boundary of the slice (e.g., 70%).
Effect:
The ribbon represents a middle portion of the historical range .
Above the ribbon = “Unfair High Zone” (analytical label only).
Below the ribbon = “Unfair Low Zone”.
This is purely statistical — it does not mean price is wrong or will revert.
4.2 Mode 2: VWAP + Stdev
In this mode, the central value is based on VWAP :
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is used as the midline.
A standard deviation envelope is built around VWAP:
VWAP Mode: Stdev Multiplier controls how wide that envelope is.
Effect:
The ribbon shows where price is trading relative to a volume-weighted average .
Again, areas above and below are just described as “unfair” zones in a visual, analytical sense , not a predictive one.
5. ATR Adaptive Width — Making the Ribbon React to Volatility
Under “ATR Adaptive Width” :
Use ATR Adaptive Width:
On: the band width scales with volatility.
Off: band width stays fixed based on Range or VWAP settings.
ATR Length: how many bars to use for ATR.
Reference ATR (% of price): a reference level for normal volatility.
Min Width Scale / Max Width Scale: clamps the scaling so that the band doesn’t get too narrow or too wide.
What this does (analytically):
When volatility (ATR) is higher than the reference, the band can become wider .
When volatility is lower , the band can become narrower .
This is a mathematical rescaling only and does not imply any optimal levels or performance.
6. Visual Elements — What You See on the Chart
6.1 Fair-Value Ribbon (Cloud)
The cloud between Fair Ribbon Low and Fair Ribbon High is the fair zone .
Color can be changed via “Fair Ribbon Color” .
6.2 Midline
If “Show Center Line” is enabled:
A line runs through the middle of the ribbon.
In Range mode, this is the average of the upper and lower band.
In VWAP mode, it’s essentially the VWAP-based mid.
This line is for visual reference only and makes no claims about support, resistance, or reversion.
6.3 Bar Colors
Unfair High Zone: bars are colored with Unfair High Bar Color.
Unfair Low Zone: bars are colored with Unfair Low Bar Color.
Inside the ribbon:
If “Fade Bars Inside Fair Zone” is ON, bars may be more faded/neutral.
These colors are simply classification highlights ; they do not tell you what to do.
6.4 State Panel (Top Right)
If “Show State Panel” is enabled, you’ll see a small box that displays:
Current engine:
Range or VWAP+Stdev.
Current price state:
Inside Ribbon (Fair Zone)
Above Ribbon (Unfair High Zone)
Below Ribbon (Unfair Low Zone)
This is a quick summary of where price sits relative to the computed ribbon.
7. Typical Ways to Use It (Informational Only)
The indicator can help you visually:
See when price is spending time inside a historically defined central zone.
Notice when price is frequently trading outside that zone.
Compare different timeframes (e.g., 5m vs 1h vs 4h) to see how the fair zone shifts.
Experiment with:
Range length (shorter vs longer lookback).
VWAP vs Range mode.
ATR adaptation on/off.
Important:
Any interpretation of these visuals is entirely up to the user.
The script does not tell you to buy, sell, hold, or do anything specific.
8. Limitations and Important Notes
All calculations use past data only (price, volume, volatility).
The ribbon does not guarantee:
that price will revert,
that zones will hold,
or that any outcome will occur.
There are no built-in signals such as “long/short” or automatic entries/exits.
The script is best used as a supporting, visual layer alongside other tools or methods you choose.
9. Disclaimer
This indicator is:
Strictly informational and educational.
Not a trading system or strategy.
Not financial advice or a recommendation.
Not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.
Users should always perform their own research and due diligence.
Past behavior of any visual pattern or zone does not guarantee future behavior.

## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - MACD is an advanced implementation of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator with enhanced features including dual divergence detection (histogram and MACD line), customizable moving average types, multi-timeframe analysis, and sophisticated visual elements. This indicator provides traders with comprehensive momentum analysis and high-probability reversal signals.
### What is MACD?
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages:
- **MACD Line**: Difference between fast and slow EMAs
- **Signal Line**: Moving average of the MACD line
- **Histogram**: Difference between MACD line and signal line
- **Purpose**: Identifies trend direction, momentum strength, and potential reversals
### Key Features
#### 1. **Enhanced MACD Display**
**Three Core Components:**
**MACD Line** (Default: Blue/Orange, 2px)
- Fast EMA (13) minus Slow EMA (34)
- Shows momentum direction
- Color changes based on position relative to signal line:
- Blue: Above signal line (bullish)
- Orange: Below signal line (bearish)
- Can be toggled on/off
**Signal Line** (Default: White/Blue with transparency, 2px)
- EMA (9) of the MACD line
- Serves as trigger line for crossover signals
- Color varies based on settings
- Essential for identifying entry/exit points
**Histogram** (Default: 4-color gradient, 4px columns)
- Difference between MACD and signal line
- Visual representation of momentum strength
- Advanced 4-color scheme:
- **Dark Green (#26A69A)**: Positive and increasing (strong bullish)
- **Light Green (#B2DFDB)**: Positive but decreasing (weakening bullish)
- **Dark Red (#FF5252)**: Negative and decreasing (strong bearish)
- **Light Red (#FFCDD2)**: Negative but increasing (weakening bearish)
- Histogram tells the "story" of momentum changes
#### 2. **Customizable Moving Average Types**
**Oscillator MA Type** (MACD Line calculation):
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, more responsive
- **SMA** (Simple) - Smoother, less responsive
**Signal Line MA Type**:
- **EMA** (Exponential) - Default, faster signals
- **SMA** (Simple) - Slower, fewer false signals
**Flexibility**: Mix and match for different trading styles
- EMA/EMA: Most responsive (day trading)
- SMA/SMA: Smoothest (swing trading)
- EMA/SMA or SMA/EMA: Balanced approaches
#### 3. **Multi-Timeframe Capability**
**Current Chart Period** (Default: Enabled)
- Uses current timeframe automatically
- Simplest option for most traders
**Custom Timeframe Selection**
- Calculate MACD on any timeframe
- Display higher timeframe MACD on lower timeframe charts
- Example: View 1H MACD on 15min chart
- **Use Case**: Align lower timeframe trades with higher timeframe momentum
#### 4. **Visual Enhancement Features**
**Golden Cross / Death Cross Markers**
- Circles mark crossover points
- Color matches MACD line color
- Clearly identifies entry/exit signals
- Can be toggled on/off
**Zero Line** (White, 2px solid)
- Reference for positive/negative momentum
- Critical level for trend identification
- MACD above zero = Bullish bias
- MACD below zero = Bearish bias
**Color Transitions**
- MACD line changes color at signal line crosses
- Histogram shows momentum acceleration/deceleration
- Provides early warning of trend changes
#### 5. **Dual Divergence Detection System**
This indicator features TWO separate divergence detection systems:
**A. Histogram Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Earlier divergence signals (most sensitive)
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "H涨" (Histogram Up), "H跌" (Histogram Down)
- **Special Feature**: Same-sign requirement option
- Top divergence: Both histogram points must be positive
- Bottom divergence: Both histogram points must be negative
- Filters out less reliable divergences
**B. MACD Line Divergence Detection**
- **Purpose**: Stronger, more reliable divergences
- **Detects**: Regular bullish and bearish divergences
- **Label**: "M涨" (MACD Up), "M跌" (MACD Down)
- **Use**: Confirmation of histogram divergences or standalone
**Divergence Types Explained:**
**Regular Bullish Divergence (Yellow)**
- **Price**: Lower lows
- **Indicator**: Higher lows (histogram OR MACD line)
- **Signal**: Potential upward reversal
- **Best**: Near support levels, oversold conditions
- **Entry**: After price breaks above recent resistance
**Regular Bearish Divergence (Blue)**
- **Price**: Higher highs
- **Indicator**: Lower highs (histogram OR MACD line)

- Entry on confirmation crossover
### Trading Strategies
#### Strategy 1: Classic MACD Crossover
**Setup:**
- Standard settings (13/34/9)
- Enable MACD, signal line, and cross markers
- Clear trend on higher timeframe
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Golden cross (circle marker) above zero line
- **Short**: Death cross (circle marker) below zero line
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color supporting direction
- Volume increase helps
**Stop Loss:**
- Below recent swing low (long)
- Above recent swing high (short)
**Exit:**
- Opposite crossover
- MACD crosses zero line against position
**Best For:** Trend following, clear trending markets
#### Strategy 2: Zero Line Bounce
**Setup:**
- Enable all components
- Established trend (MACD staying one side of zero)
- Wait for pullback to zero line
**Entry:**
- **Long**: MACD touches zero from above, bounces up with golden cross
- **Short**: MACD touches zero from below, bounces down with death cross
**Confirmation:**
- Histogram color change
- Price at support/resistance
**Stop Loss:**
- Just beyond zero line (opposite side)
**Exit:**
- Target previous extreme
- Or opposite crossover
**Best For:** Trend continuation, strong markets
#### Strategy 3: Dual Divergence Confirmation
**Setup:**
- Enable both histogram and MACD line divergences
- Price at extreme (high/low)
- Wait for divergence signals
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Both "H涨" AND "M涨" labels appear
- **Short**: Both "H跌" AND "M跌" labels appear
**Confirmation:**
- Price breaks structure
- Volume increase
- Golden/death cross confirms
**Stop Loss:**

- Or opposite divergence appears
**Best For:** Reversal trading, swing trading
#### Strategy 4: Histogram Color Transition
**Setup:**
- Enable 4-color histogram
- Focus on color changes
- Price in trend
**Entry:**
- **Long**: Light red → Light green transition + golden cross
- **Short**: Light green → Light red transition + death cross
**Rationale:**
- Light colors show momentum exhaustion
- Color flip = momentum shift
- Early entry before full trend reversal
**Stop Loss:**
- Recent swing point
**Exit:**
- Histogram color turns light against position
- Or at predetermined target
**Best For:** Scalping, day trading, early entries
#### Strategy 5: Multi-Timeframe Momentum
**Setup:**

- Both timeframes aligned
**Stop Loss:**
- Based on current timeframe structure
**Exit:**
- Current TF opposite crossover
- Or HTF MACD momentum weakens
**Best For:** Swing trading, high-probability setups
#### Strategy 6: Histogram-Only Divergence Scout
**Setup:**
- Enable only histogram divergence
- Use "same sign requirement"
- Focus on early signals
**Entry:**
- **Long**: "H涨" label + price at support
- **Short**: "H跌" label + price at resistance
**Confirmation:**

- MACD shows momentum
- Enter when both align
- Exit when MACD turns first
**With RSI:**
- RSI for overbought/oversold
- MACD for momentum confirmation
- Divergence on both = Extremely strong signal
- RSI + MACD divergence = High probability trade
**With Volume:**
- Volume confirms MACD signals
- Crossover + volume spike = Valid breakout
- Divergence + volume divergence = Strong reversal
**With Support/Resistance:**
- S/R levels for entry/exit targets
- MACD divergence at levels = Highest probability
- MACD crossover at level = Strong confirmation
**With Bias Indicator:**
- Bias shows price deviation from EMA
- MACD shows momentum
- Both diverging = Powerful reversal signal
- Bias extreme + MACD divergence = High conviction trade
**With OBV:**
- OBV shows volume trend
- MACD shows price momentum
- OBV + MACD divergence = Volume not supporting price
- Strong reversal indication
**With KSI (RSI/CCI):**
- KSI for oscillator extremes
- MACD for momentum direction
- KSI extreme + MACD divergence = Reversal likely
- All aligned = Maximum confidence
### Common MACD Patterns
1. **Bullish Cross Above Zero**: Strong uptrend continuation signal
2. **Bearish Cross Below Zero**: Strong downtrend continuation signal
3. **Zero Line Rejection**: Price respects zero as support/resistance
4. **Histogram Peak**: Momentum climax, watch for reversal
5. **Double Divergence**: Two divergences without reversal = Very strong signal when it finally reverses
6. **Histogram Convergence**: Histogram narrowing = Trend losing steam
7. **Signal Line Hug**: MACD stays close to signal = Consolidation, expect breakout
### Performance Tips
- Start with default settings (13/34/9 EMA/EMA)
- Test one divergence system at a time
- Use same sign requirement initially
- Enable cross markers for clear signals
- Adjust lookback parameters per market volatility
- Higher timeframe MACD more reliable than lower
- Combine histogram early signal with MACD line confirmation
- Don't trade every divergence - wait for best setups
### Alert Conditions
While not explicitly coded, you can set custom alerts on:
- MACD crossing above/below signal line
- MACD crossing above/below zero line
- Histogram crossing zero
- When divergence labels appear (using visual alerts)

Volatility-Targeted Momentum Portfolio [BackQuant]Volatility-Targeted Momentum Portfolio
A complete momentum portfolio engine that ranks assets, targets a user-defined volatility, builds long, short, or delta-neutral books, and reports performance with metrics, attribution, Monte Carlo scenarios, allocation pie, and efficiency scatter plots. This description explains the theory and the mechanics so you can configure, validate, and deploy it with intent.

Suggested workflow
1) What the script does at a glance
Pulls a list of up to 15 tickers, computes a simple momentum score on each over a configurable lookback, then volatility-scales their bar-to-bar return stream to a target annualized volatility.
Ranks assets by raw momentum, selects the top 3 and bottom 3, builds positions according to the chosen mode, and gates exposure with a fast regime filter.
Accumulates a portfolio equity curve with risk and performance metrics, optional benchmark buy-and-hold for comparison, and a full alert suite.
Adds visual diagnostics: performance attribution bars, Monte Carlo forward paths, an allocation pie, and scatter plots for risk-return and factor views.
2) Momentum: definition, detection, and validation
Momentum is the tendency of assets that have performed well to continue to perform well, and of underperformers to continue underperforming, over a specific horizon. You operationalize it by selecting a horizon, defining a signal, ranking assets, and trading the leaders versus laggards subject to risk constraints.
Signal choices . Common signals include cumulative return over a lookback window, regression slope on log-price, or normalized rate-of-change. This script uses cumulative return over lookback bars for ranking (variable cr = price/price - 1). It keeps the ranking simple and lets volatility targeting handle risk normalization.
How to know momentum is present .
Leaders and laggards persist across adjacent windows rather than flipping every bar.
Spread between average momentum of leaders and laggards is materially positive in sample.
Cross-sectional dispersion is non-trivial. If everything is flat or highly correlated with no separation, momentum selection will be weak.
Your validation should include a diagnostic that measures whether returns are explained by a momentum regression on the timeseries.
Recommended diagnostic tool . Before running any momentum portfolio, verify that a timeseries exhibits stable directional drift. Use this indicator as a pre-check: It fits a regression to price, exposes slope and goodness-of-fit style context, and helps confirm if there is usable momentum before you force a ranking into a flat regime.
3) Volatility targeting: purpose and implementation here
Purpose . Volatility targeting seeks a more stable risk footprint. High-vol assets get sized down, low-vol assets get sized up, so each contributes more evenly to total risk.
Computation in this script (per asset, rolling):
Return series ret = log(price/price ).
Annualized volatility estimate vol = stdev(ret, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays).
Leverage multiplier volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5.0).
This caps sizing so extremely low-vol assets don’t explode weight and extremely high-vol assets don’t go to zero.
Scaled return stream sr = ret * volMult. This is the per-bar, risk-adjusted building block used in the portfolio combinations.
Interpretation . You are not levering your account on the exchange, you are rescaling the contribution each asset’s daily move has on the modeled equity. In live trading you would reflect this with position sizing or notional exposure.
4) Portfolio construction modes
Cross-sectional ranking . Assets are sorted by cr over the chosen lookback. Top and bottom indices are extracted without ties.
Long Only . Averages the volatility-scaled returns of the top 3 assets: avgRet = mean(sr_top1, sr_top2, sr_top3). Position table shows per-asset leverages and weights proportional to their current volMult.
Short Only . Averages the negative of the volatility-scaled returns of the bottom 3: avgRet = mean(-sr_bot1, -sr_bot2, -sr_bot3). Position table shows short legs.
Delta Neutral . Long the top 3 and short the bottom 3 in equal book sizes. Each side is sized to 50 percent notional internally, with weights within each side proportional to volMult. The return stream mixes the two sides: avgRet = mean(sr_top1,sr_top2,sr_top3, -sr_bot1,-sr_bot2,-sr_bot3).
Notes .
The selection metric is raw momentum, the execution stream is volatility-scaled returns. This separation is deliberate. It avoids letting volatility dominate ranking while still enforcing risk parity at the return contribution stage.
If everything rallies together and dispersion collapses, Long Only may behave like a single beta. Delta Neutral is designed to extract cross-sectional momentum with low net beta.
5) Regime filter
A fast EMA(12) vs EMA(21) filter gates exposure.
Long Only active when EMA12 > EMA21. Otherwise the book is set to cash.
Short Only active when EMA12 < EMA21. Otherwise cash.
Delta Neutral is always active.
This prevents taking long momentum entries during obvious local downtrends and vice versa for shorts. When the filter is false, equity is held flat for that bar.
6) Transaction cost modelling
There are two cost touchpoints in the script.
Per-bar drag . When the regime filter is active, the per-bar return is reduced by fee_rate * avgRet inside netRet = avgRet - (fee_rate * avgRet). This models proportional friction relative to traded impact on that bar.
Turnover-linked fee . The script tracks changes in membership of the top and bottom baskets (top1..top3, bot1..bot3). The intent is to charge fees when composition changes. The template counts changes and scales a fee by change count divided by 6 for the six slots.
Use case: increase fee_rate to reflect taker fees and slippage if you rebalance every bar or trade illiquid assets. Reduce it if you rebalance less often or use maker orders.
Practical advice .
If you rebalance daily, start with 5–20 bps round-trip per switch on liquid futures and adjust per venue.
For crypto perp microcaps, stress higher cost assumptions and add slippage buffers.
If you only rotate on lookback boundaries or at signals, use alert-driven rebalances and lower per-bar drag.
7) Backtest metrics and definitions
The script computes a standard set of portfolio statistics once the start date is reached.
Net Profit percent over the full test.
Max Drawdown percent, tracked from running peaks.
Annualized Mean and Stdev using the chosen trading day count.
Variance is the square of annualized stdev.
Sharpe uses daily mean adjusted by risk-free rate and annualized.
Sortino uses downside stdev only.
Omega ratio of sum of gains to sum of losses.
Gain-to-Pain total gains divided by total losses absolute.
CAGR compounded annual growth from start date to now.
Alpha, Beta versus a user-selected benchmark. Beta from covariance of daily returns, Alpha from CAPM.
Skewness of daily returns.
VaR 95 linear-interpolated 5th percentile of daily returns.
CVaR average of the worst 5 percent of daily returns.
Benchmark Buy-and-Hold equity path for comparison.
8) Performance attribution
Cumulative contribution per asset, adjusted for whether it was held long or short and for its volatility multiplier, aggregated across the backtest. You can filter to winners only or show both sides. The panel is sorted by contribution and includes percent labels.
9) Monte Carlo simulation
The panel draws forward equity paths from either a Normal model parameterized by recent mean and stdev, or non-parametric bootstrap of recent daily returns. You control the sample length, number of simulations, forecast horizon, visibility of individual paths, confidence bands, and a reproducible seed.
Normal uses Box-Muller with your seed. Good for quick, smooth envelopes.
Bootstrap resamples realized returns, preserving fat tails and volatility clustering better than a Gaussian assumption.
Bands show 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th percentiles and the path mean.
10) Scatter plot analysis
Four point-cloud modes, each plotting all assets and a star for the current portfolio position, with quadrant guides and labels.
Risk-Return Efficiency . X is risk proxy from leverage, Y is expected return from annualized momentum. The star shows the current book’s composite.
Momentum vs Volatility . Visualizes whether leaders are also high vol, a cue for turnover and cost expectations.
Beta vs Alpha . X is a beta proxy, Y is risk-adjusted excess return proxy. Useful to see if leaders are just beta.
Leverage vs Momentum . X is volMult, Y is momentum. Shows how volatility targeting is redistributing risk.
11) Asset allocation pie chart
Builds a wheel of current allocations.
Long Only, weights are proportional to each long asset’s current volMult and sum to 100 percent.
Short Only, weights show the short book as positive slices that sum to 100 percent.
Delta Neutral, 50 percent long and 50 percent short books, each side leverage-proportional.
Labels can show asset, percent, and current leverage.
12) Inputs and quick presets
Core
Portfolio Strategy . Long Only, Short Only, Delta Neutral.
Initial Capital . For equity scaling in the panel.
Trading Days/Year . 252 for stocks, 365 for crypto.
Target Volatility . Annualized, drives volMult.
Transaction Fees . Per-bar drag and composition change penalty, see the modelling notes above.
Momentum Lookback . Ranking horizon. Shorter is more reactive, longer is steadier.
Start Date . Ensure every symbol has data back to this date to avoid bias.
Benchmark . Used for alpha, beta, and B&H line.
Diagnostics
Metrics, Equity, B&H, Curve labels, Daily return line, Rolling drawdown fill.
Attribution panel. Toggle winners only to focus on what matters.
Monte Carlo mode with Normal or Bootstrap and confidence bands.
Scatter plot type and styling, labels, and portfolio star.
Pie chart and labels for current allocation.
Presets
Crypto Daily, Long Only . Lookback 25, Target Vol 50 percent, Fees 10 bps, Regime filter on, Metrics and Drawdown on. Monte Carlo Bootstrap with Recent 200 bars for bands.
Crypto Daily, Delta Neutral . Lookback 25, Target Vol 50 percent, Fees 15–25 bps, Regime filter always active for this mode. Use Scatter Risk-Return to monitor efficiency and keep the star near upper left quadrants without drifting rightward.
Equities Daily, Long Only . Lookback 60–120, Target Vol 15–20 percent, Fees 5–10 bps, Regime filter on. Use Benchmark SPX and watch Alpha and Beta to keep the book from becoming index beta.
13) Suggested workflow
Universe sanity check . Pick liquid tickers with stable data. Thin assets distort vol estimates and fees.
Check momentum existence . Run on your timeframe. If slope and fit are weak, widen lookback or avoid that asset or timeframe.
Set risk budget . Choose a target volatility that matches your drawdown tolerance. Higher target increases turnover and cost sensitivity.
Pick mode . Long Only for bull regimes, Short Only for sustained downtrends, Delta Neutral for cross-sectional harvesting when index direction is unclear.
Tune lookback . If leaders rotate too often, lengthen it. If entries lag, shorten it.
Validate cost assumptions . Increase fee_rate and stress Monte Carlo. If the edge vanishes with modest friction, refine selection or lengthen rebalance cadence.
Run attribution . Confirm the strategy’s winners align with intuition and not one unstable outlier.
Use alerts . Enable position change, drawdown, volatility breach, regime, momentum shift, and crash alerts to supervise live runs.
Important implementation details mapped to code
Momentum measure . cr = price / price - 1 per symbol for ranking. Simplicity helps avoid overfitting.
Volatility targeting . vol = stdev(log returns, lookback) * sqrt(tradingdays), volMult = clamp(targetVol / vol, 0.1, 5), sr = ret * volMult.
Selection . Extract indices for top1..top3 and bot1..bot3. The arrays rets, scRets, lev_vals, and ticks_arr track momentum, scaled returns, leverage multipliers, and display tickers respectively.
Regime filter . EMA12 vs EMA21 switch determines if the strategy takes risk for Long or Short modes. Delta Neutral ignores the gate.
Equity update . Equity multiplies by 1 + netRet only when the regime was active in the prior bar. Buy-and-hold benchmark is computed separately for comparison.
Tables . Position tables show current top or bottom assets with leverage and weights. Metric table prints all risk and performance figures.
Visualization panels . Attribution, Monte Carlo, scatter, and pie use the last bars to draw overlays that update as the backtest proceeds.
Final notes
Momentum is a portfolio effect. The edge comes from cross-sectional dispersion, adequate risk normalization, and disciplined turnover control, not from a single best asset call.
Volatility targeting stabilizes path but does not fix selection. Use the momentum regression link above to confirm structure exists before you size into it.
Always test higher lag costs and slippage, then recheck metrics, attribution, and Monte Carlo envelopes. If the edge persists under stress, you have something robust.
USD Session 8FX - LDN & NY (TF-invariant, Live + Table)What it is
A USD strength/weakness meter for the London (08:00–08:45) or New York (15:30–16:00/16:15) session. It blends the movement of 8 markets—EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAUUSD—into one Score that is timeframe-invariant (it uses a 1-minute “boundary TF” under the hood so changing chart TF doesn’t change the math).
Core logic (simple)
During the chosen session window, it records each symbol’s start and live end prices, computes returns, optionally normalizes by ATR (volatility), applies your weights, and averages anti-USD (EUR/GBP/AUD/NZD/XAU) vs USD-base (CHF/CAD/JPY) groups.
The final Score is the normalized sum of weighted contributions:
Score > 0 → “USD Strong”
Score < 0 → “USD Weak”
At the session close it freezes (“Locked”) the results so you can review them later.
What you see
Main plot: the USD Score line (with a 0 baseline).
Optional lines: Anti-USD average vs USD-base average (post-normalization, pre-weights).
Session background shading (London silver, New York aqua).
Live table with:
Each symbol’s % change, its weight, and its contribution to the Score.
TOP badges for the two biggest drivers (by absolute contribution).
A Side column (only for the two TOPs) showing BUY/SELL aligned with the USD verdict (e.g., if USD Strong → SELL anti-USD pairs like EURUSD, BUY USD-base like USDCHF).
Verdict row with USD Strong/Weak, the Score value, the window text, and whether you’re LIVE / CLOSED / FROZEN.
Trade Gate panel:
Shows Verdict (USD Strong/Weak), Bias OK/weak (|Score| vs your threshold), Top-1/Top-2 VWAP checks, an overall GATE: OK/NO, and an Entry hint string (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) when conditions align.
VWAP “Trade Gate”
It confirms alignment between the USD bias and price vs VWAP for the top movers:
If USD Strong: anti-USD symbols should be below VWAP (short bias), USD-base symbols above VWAP (long bias).
If USD Weak: the opposite.
Gate = OK only if |Score| ≥ minAbsScore and at least one of the two TOP symbols is on the correct side of VWAP.
Tip: set vwapTF to an intraday value (“1”, “5”, “15”) for reliable VWAP on higher-TF charts.
Alerts
At session close: “USD Strong/Weak – session close”.
Live threshold: alerts when |Score| crosses your intraday threshold up/down.
Entry hint (Gate OK): triggers when the Gate flips from NO → OK inside the window.
If you create an alert of type “Any alert() function call”, you also get a dynamic message like:
ENTRY HINT • Hint: SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF
Key inputs you can tweak
Session: London vs New York; NY end time 16:00 or 16:15.
Timezone: default Europe/Tirane.
Boundary TF: default “1” (keeps the indicator TF-invariant).
minAbsScore: sensitivity threshold for “Bias OK”.
ATR normalization (len): stabilizes comparisons across different volatility regimes.
VWAP settings: toggle panel and set vwapTF.
How to use (playbook)
Choose the session (e.g., New York 15:30–16:15), keep Boundary TF = 1.
If you’re on a higher-TF chart, set vwapTF = "1" or "5".
Watch Score and Verdict; when |Score| ≥ minAbsScore, bias is meaningful.
Check Top-1/Top-2 and the Trade Gate:
If Gate = OK, use the Entry hint (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) as the aligned idea.
Use your own execution rules (e.g., structure, risk, stops) on the suggested symbols.
After close, review the Frozen table to validate behavior and refine thresholds/weights.
Notes & edge cases
If some markets are illiquid/holiday, a few returns may be na; the script handles that gracefully.
If ta.vwap is na on high TFs, the Gate will simply not confirm—set vwapTF intraday.
You can customize weights (e.g., reduce XAUUSD to -0.3 or similar) to suit your basket philosophy.
If you want, I can add toggles to show Side for all 8 symbols, or print a one-line summary (e.g., “USD Strong • Score 0.23 • Gate OK • SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) in the top-left of the pane.
Ripster Labels + Air Gaps (v6)What it shows (on one chart)
EMA Clouds (current timeframe)

Cloud color: green when the faster EMA is above the slower (bullish), red/maroon/orange when below (bearish).
Toggle lines vs. clouds via A) EMA Clouds settings.

Looks at a separate timeframe (default 10m): EMA 12 vs EMA 50.
Bottom-right table cell shows “10m Trend ↑/↓/Sideways” (green/red/gray).
Configure in E) Ripster Trend Labels (TF and lengths).
Air Gaps (single EMA per TF)
Three horizontal, auto-extending lines showing an EMA from 30m / 60m / 240m (default length 12).
“Air gaps” are the price spaces between these lines—often lighter-resistance zones for price.
Start point logic:
All Bars = draw from the chart’s left
Start of Day = draw from today’s first bar
Bars Offset = draw from N bars back (default 100)
Settings in F) Air Gaps (TFs, length, draw-from, bars-back).

How it makes decisions
Cloud bias = sign of (faster EMA − slower EMA) for each cloud pair.
Example: 12>21 → fast cloud is bullish (green); 34>50 → mid cloud bullish (teal).
10m trend label = sign of (EMA12−EMA50) on the Trend TF (default 10m).
RVol = volume / sma(volume, 20); formatted as a percent and color-coded.
Practical read of the screen
Fast cloud flips (12/21) often mark short-term momentum changes; mid cloud flips (34/50) reflect swing bias.
Air Gap lines from higher TFs frequently act as support/resistance. Larger spaces between lines = “air gaps” where price can move with less friction.
RVol color tells you how “real” a move is: red/yellow often confirms momentum; blue warns of thin/liquidy bars.
DTR vs ATR shows if today’s range is stretched vs recent norm.
Design choices (why your prior errors are gone)
Removed multiline ?: chains → replaced by if/else (Pine v6 is picky about line continuations).
Moved fill() calls outside of local if blocks (Pine limitation).
ta.change(time("D")) != 0 makes the if condition boolean.
Declared G_drawFrom / G_barsBack before startX() so identifiers exist.
Continuation Suite v1 — 5m/15mContinuation Suite v1 — 5m/15m (Non-Repainting, S/R + Trend Continuation)
What it does
Continuation Suite v1 is a practical intraday toolkit that combines non-repainting trend-continuation signals with auto-built Support/Resistance (S/R) from confirmed pivots. It’s designed for fast, liquid names on 5m charts with an optional 15m higher-timeframe (HTF) overlay. You get: stacked-EMA bias, disciplined pullback+reclaim entries, optional volume/volatility gates, a “Strong” signal tier, solid S/R lines or zones, and a compact dashboard for fast reads.
⸻
Why traders use it
• Clear bias using fast/mid/slow EMA stacking.
• Actionable entries that require a pullback, a reclaim, and (optionally) a minor break of prior extremes.
• Signal quality gates (volume vs SMA, ATR%, ADX/DI alignment, EMA spacing, slope).
• Non-repainting logic when “Confirm on Close” = ON. Intrabar previews show what’s forming, but confirmed signals only print on bar close.
• S/R that matters: confirmed-pivot lines or ATR-sized zones, optional HTF overlay, and auto de-dup to avoid clutter.
⸻
Signal construction (no magic, just rules)
Bullish continuation (base):
1. Trend: EMA fast > EMA mid > EMA slow
2. Pullback: price pulls into the stack (lowest low or close vs EMA fast/mid over a lookback)
3. Reclaim: close > EMA fast and close > open
4. Break filter (optional): current bar takes out the prior bar’s high
5. Filters: volume > SMA (if enabled) and ATR% ≤ max (if enabled)
6. Cooldown: a minimum bar gap between signals
Bearish continuation (base): mirror of the above.
Strong signals: base conditions plus ADX ≥ threshold, DI alignment (DI+>DI- for longs; DI->DI+ for shorts), minimum EMA-spacing %, and minimum fast-EMA slope.
Reference stops:
• Longs: lowest low over the pullback lookback
• Shorts: highest high over the pullback lookback
Alerts are included for: Bullish Continuation, Bearish Continuation, STRONG Bullish, STRONG Bearish.
⸻
S/R engine (current TF + optional HTF)
• Builds S/R from confirmed pivots only (left/right bars).
• Choose Lines (midlines) or Zones (ATR-sized).
• Zones merge when a new pivot lands near an existing zone’s mid (ATR-scaled epsilon).
• Touches counter tracks significance; you can require a minimum to draw.
• HTF overlay (default 15m) draws separate lines/zones with tiny TF tags on the right.
• De-dup option hides current-TF zones that sit too close to HTF zones (ATR-scaled), reducing overlap.
• Freeze on Close (optional) keeps arrays stable intrabar; snapshots show levels immediately as bars open.
⸻
Presets
• Auto: Detects QQQ-like tickers (QQQ, QLD, QID) or SoFi; else defaults to Custom.
• QQQ: Tighter ATR% and EMA settings geared to index-ETF behavior.
• SoFi: Wider ATR allowances and longer mid/slow for single-name behavior.
• Custom: Expose all key inputs to tune for your product.
⸻
Dashboard (top-right)
• Preset in use
• Bias (Bullish CONT / Bearish CONT / Neutral)
• Strong (Yes/No)
• Volatility (ATR% bucket)
• Trend (ADX bucket)
• HTF timeframe tag
• Volume (bucket or “off”)
• Signals mode (Close-Confirmed vs Intrabar)
⸻
Inputs you’ll actually adjust
Trend/Signals
• Fast/Mid/Slow EMA lengths
• Pullback lookback, Min bars between signals
• Volume filter (vol > SMA N)
• ATR% max filter (cap excessive volatility)
• Require break of prior bar’s high/low
• “Strong” gates: min EMA slope, min EMA spacing %, ADX length & threshold
Support/Resistance
• Lines vs Zones
• Pivot left/right bars
• Extend left/right (bars)
• Max pivots kept (current & HTF)
• Zone width (× ATR), Merge epsilon (× ATR), Min gap (× ATR)
• Min touches, Max zones per side near price
• De-dup current TF vs HTF (× ATR)
Repainting control
• Confirm on Close: when ON, signals/SR finalize on bar close (non-repainting)
• Freeze on Close: freeze S/R intrabar with snapshot updates
• Show previews: translucent intrabar labels for what’s forming
⸻
How to use it (straightforward)
1. Load on 5-minute chart (baseline). Keep Confirm on Close ON if you hate repainting.
2. Use Bias + Strong + S/R context. If a long prints into HTF resistance, you have information.
3. Manage risk off the reference stop (pullback extreme). If ATR% reads “Great,” widen expectations; if “Poor,” size down or pass.
4. Alerts: wire the four alert types to your workflow.
⸻
Notes and constraints
• Designed for liquid symbols. Thin books and synthetic “volume” will degrade the volume gate.
• S/R is pivot-based. On very choppy tape, touch counts help. Increase min touches or switch to Lines to declutter.
• If your chart timeframe isn’t 5m, behavior changes because lengths are in bars, not minutes. Tune lengths accordingly.
⸻

🛠 Filters to filter out false signals
1️⃣ Minimum distance between the signals
- What it does: sets the minimum number of candles between signals of the same type
- Why it is needed: it prevents the appearance of too frequent signals, especially during periods of high volatility
- How to set it up: Set a different value for each signal type (default: 3-5 bars)
- Example: if the value is 3 for Up/Down signals, after the buy signal appears, the next buy signal may appear no earlier than 3 bars later
2️⃣ Advanced indicator filters
🔍 RSI Filter
- What it does: Checks the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value before generating a signal
- Why it is needed: it helps to avoid countertrend entries and catch reversal points
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the RSI range, usually in the oversold zone (for example, 1-30)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the RSI range, usually in the overbought zone (for example, 70-100)
- Example: if the RSI = 25 (in the range 1-30), the buy signal will be confirmed
📊 MFI Filter (Cash Flow Index)
- What it does: analyzes volumes and the direction of price movement
- Why it is needed: confirms signals with data on the activity of cash flows
- How to set up:
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the MFI range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-25)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the MFI range in the overbought zone (for example, 75-100)
- Example: if MFI = 80 (in the range of 75-100), the sell signal will be confirmed
📈 Stochastic Filter
- What it does: analyzes the position of the current price relative to the price range
- Why it is needed: confirms signals based on overbought/oversold conditions
- How to configure:
- You can configure the K Length, D Length and Smoothing parameters
- For buy signals (🔋 Buy): set the stochastic range in the oversold zone (for example, 1-20)
- For sell signals (🪫 Sell): set the stochastic range in the overbought zone (for example, 80-100)
- Example: if stochastic = 15 (is in the range of 1-20), the buy signal will be confirmed

TASC 2022.10 RS VA EMA█ OVERVIEW
TASC's October 2022 edition Traders' Tips includes the second part of the "Relative Strength Moving Averages" article series authored by Vitali Apirine. This is the code that implements the Relative Strength Volume-Adjusted Exponential Moving Average (RS VA EMA) presented in this publication.
█ CONCEPTS
In his article series, the author argues that the relative strength of price, volume, and volatility can potentially be used to filter price movements and define turning points. In particular, the RS VA EMA indicator is designed to account for the relative strength of volume. Like the traditional exponential moving average (EMA) , it is a lagging trend-following indicator. The difference is that it responds more quickly.
In a trading strategy, RS VA EMA is suggested to be used in combination with EMA of the same length to determine the overall trend or in combination with RS VA EMA of a different length to identify turning points and filter price movements.
█ CALCULATIONS
The calculation of RS VA EMA is based on the concept of volume strength (VS). By definition, VS measures the difference between "positive" and "negative" volume flow. Volume is indicated as "positive" when the close is higher than the previous close and "negative" when the close is below the previous close.
The following steps are used in the calculation process:
• Calculate the volume strength (VS) of a given length.
• Multiply VS by a predefined multiplier and calculate the EMA of the resulting time series.
The values of 10,10,10 are the typical input settings for RS VA EMA, where the first parameter is the length of the moving average, the second is the length of VS, and the third is the volume strength multiplier.
Strategy Oil Z ScoreObjective is to find forward looking indicators to find good entries into major index's.
In similar vein to my Combo Z Score script I have implemented one looking at oil and oil volatility. Interestingly the script out performs WITHOUT applying the EMA in longer timeframes but under performs in shorter timeframes, for example 2007 vs 2019. Likely due to the bullish nature of the past decade (by and large). You have some options on the underlying included Oil vs OVX (Best), MOVE vs OVX and VIX vs OVX. Oil vs OVX out performs Combo Z Script. Favours Spy over QQQ or derivations (SPXL etc).
GBTC holdings USD market valueThis script estimates GBTC bitcoins per share, rather than hardcoding as in other scripts. Its result is an estimate of GBTC holdings USD market value.
Per share bitcoin estimates are adjusted by 2.0% / 365 per day from 2019 year end holdings. Calendar year 2019 ending bitcoins and shares were 261,192 bitcoins and 269,445,300 shares. From the 2019 Form 10-K: 'The Trust’s only ordinary recurring expense is the Sponsor’s Fee. The Sponsor’s Fee accrues daily in U.S. dollars at an annual rate of 2.0% of the Bitcoin Holdings.. The Sponsor’s Fee is payable in Bitcoins to the Sponsor monthly in arrears.'
No attempt is made to account for leap years.
Per share bitcoin estimate is converted to USD market value by multiplying by the simple average BTCUSD price at Coinbase and Bitstamp. Grayscale uses the TradeBlock XBX index, a volume weighted average of Coinbase Pro, Kraken, LMAX Digital and Bitstamp prices.
Spot checks vs archive.org captures of daily bitcoins per share and the chart on Grayscale's site:
The estimate for market close January 22 2021 is 0.00094899 bitcoins per share, the published datum on Grayscale's web site was 0.00094898. The estimate matches at 20:30 rather than at 16:00.
The estimate for December 31 2018 is 0.000988965 vs a published 0.00098895.
The estimate for December 29 2017 market value is $14.58 vs $14.65.
The estimate for December 30 2016 market value is $0.99 vs $0.98.
The estimate for January 4 2016 market value is $0.46 vs $0.45.
No estimates before 2016.
The default style is to draw a blue line with two thirds transparency outside market hours and for first/last minutes of trading, switching to daily or greater periodicity hides this.

Market Internals [Makit0] MARKET INTERNALS INDICATOR v0.5beta
Market Internals are suitable for day trade equity indices, named SPY or /ES, please do your own research about what they are and how to use them
This scripts plots the NYSE market internals charts as an indicator for an easy and full visualization of market internal structure all in one chart, useful for SPY and /ES trading
Description of the Market Internals
- TICK: NYSE stocks ticking up vs stocks ticking down, extreme values may point to trend continuation on trending days or reversal in non trending days, example of extreme values can be 800 and 1000
- ADD: NYSE stocks going up vs stocks going down, if price auctions around the zero line may be a non trend day, otherwise may be a trend day
- VOLD: NYSE volume of stocks up vs volume of stocks going down, identify clearly where the volume is going, as example if volume is flowing down may be a good idea no to place longs
- TRIN: NYSE up stocks vs down stocks ratio divided by up volume vs down volume ratio. A value of 1 indicates parity, below that the strength is on the long side, above the strength is in the short side.
A basic use of market internals may be looking for divergences, for example:
- /ES is trading in a range but ADD and VOLD are trending up nonstop, may /ES will break the range to the upside
- /ES is trading in a range and ADD and VOLD are trading around the zero line but got an extreme reading on TICK, may be a non trending day and the TICK extreme reading is at one of the extremes of the /ES range, may be a good probability trade to fade that move
- /ES is trading in a trend to the downside, ADD and VOLD too, you catch a good portion of the move but are fearful to flat and miss more gains, you see in the TICK a lot of extreme values below -800 so your're confident in the continuation of the downtrend, until the TICK goes beyond -1000 and you use that signal to go flat
Market internals give you context and confirmation, price in /ES may be trending but if market internals do not confirm the move may a reversal is on its way
Price is an advertise, you can see the real move in the structure below, in the behavior of the individual components of the market, those are the real questions:
- How many stocks are going up/down (ADD)
- How many volume is flowing up/down (VOLD)
- How many stocks are ticking up/down (TICK)
- What is the overall volume breath of the market (TRIN)
FEATURES:
- Plot one of the four basic market internal indices: TICK, ADD, VOLD and TRIN
- Show labels with values beyond an user defined threshold
- Show ZERO line
- Show user defined Dotted and Dashed lines
- Show user defined moving average
SETTINGS:
- Market internal: ticker to plot in the indicator, four options to choose from (TICK, ADD, VOLD and TRIN)
- Labels threshold: all values beyond this will be ploted as labels
- Dot lines at: two dotted lines will be plotted at this value above and below the zero line
- Dash lines at: two dashed lines will be plotted at this value above and below the zero line
- MA type: two options avaiable SMA (Simple Moving Average) or EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
- MA length: number of bars to calculate the moving average
- Show zero line: show or hide zero line
- Show dot line: show or hide dotted lines
- Show dash line: show or hide dashed lines
- Show labels: show or hide labels

📊 MARKET ANALYSIS & TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Support & Resistance Trading
POC as Key Level:
- Price tends to return to POC (magnetic effect)
- Strategy :
- When price is above POC → Look for pullbacks to POC for long entries
- When price is below POC → Look for rallies to POC for short entries
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
Value Area Trading:
- Inside Value Area (between VAH & VAL):
- Market is in balance/equilibrium
- Range-bound trading strategies
- Look for mean reversion
- Outside Value Area :
- Price accepted above VAH = Bullish breakout
- Price accepted below VAL = Bearish breakdown
- Trend-following strategies
Example Setup:
Price above VAH + Strong buying delta = Bullish trend
→ Wait for pullback to VAH
→ Enter long with stop below VAH
→ Target: Next HVN or previous session high
2. Volume Node Trading
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Characteristics : Strong support/resistance, consolidation zones
- Trading Strategy :
- Price approaching HVN from above → Potential support
- Price approaching HVN from below → Potential resistance
- Breakout from HVN → Strong momentum move
- Setup : Place limit orders at HVN boundaries
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Characteristics : Low liquidity, fast price movement
- Trading Strategy :
- Price in LVN = Don't chase, wait for next HVN
- LVN breakout = Rapid moves, use wider stops
- Price rejection from LVN = Quick return to HVN
- Setup : Avoid placing stops in LVN zones
Example:
Price consolidating at HVN (yellow) near $50,000
→ Breakout above with volume
→ Fast move through LVN (orange) gap
→ Next target: Upper HVN at $51,500
3. Delta Analysis for Entry Timing
Strong Buying Delta (Green zones):
- Δ > +20% = Buyers in control
- Bullish Signal : Accumulation zone
- Strategy : Look for long entries on pullbacks
- Confirmation : Rising price + positive delta
Strong Selling Delta (Red zones):
- Δ < -20% = Sellers in control
- Bearish Signal : Distribution zone
- Strategy : Look for short entries on rallies
- Confirmation : Falling price + negative delta
Delta Divergence (Advanced):
- Bullish Divergence : Price making lower lows, but delta improving (less negative)
- Indicates selling pressure weakening
- Potential reversal signal
- Bearish Divergence : Price making higher highs, but delta weakening (less positive)
- Indicates buying pressure exhausting
- Potential reversal signal
4. Imbalance Zone Trading
Buy Imbalance (Bright Green):
- 70%+ buying pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of buyers
- Smart money distribution
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bearish candles, resistance)
- Take profits on long positions
- Consider short entries with confirmation
Sell Imbalance (Bright Red):
- 70%+ selling pressure
- Interpretation :
- Potential exhaustion of sellers
- Smart money accumulation
- Strategy :
- Look for reversal signals (bullish candles, support)
- Take profits on short positions
- Consider long entries with confirmation
Example:
```
Price at VAH with 80% sell imbalance
→ Selling exhaustion likely
→ Wait for bullish reversal candle
→ Enter long with stop below VAL
```
5. Multi-Session Analysis
When "Separate Profiles Per Session" is enabled:
Session-Specific Levels:
- Each session creates its own POC and value area
- Compare sessions to identify:
- Where institutions accumulated/distributed
- Which levels each session respected
- Unfinished business from previous sessions
Trading Strategies:
A. Session POC Confluence
London POC: $49,500
NY POC: $49,550
→ Strong support zone at $49,500-$49,550
→ High probability long setup on pullback
B. Value Area Overlap
London VAH: $50,000
NY VAL: $49,800
→ Overlap creates strong consolidation zone
→ Breakout strategy: Enter on break above $50,000
C. Unfinished Business
London session rejected $51,000 (sell imbalance)
NY session hasn't tested this level yet
→ Watch for NY session to revisit $51,000
→ Potential reversal zone
D. Session Handoff
Tokyo session: Sideways, low volume
London session: Strong buying delta, break above VAH
NY session: Continuation or reversal?
→ Monitor NY open for direction confirmation
6. Market Profile Analysis
Profile Shape Interpretation:
A. P-Shape (Peak at Top)
- High volume at top of range
- Interpretation : Distribution, potential reversal down
- Strategy : Look for shorts at resistance
B. b-Shape (Peak at Bottom)
- High volume at bottom of range
- Interpretation : Accumulation, potential reversal up
- Strategy : Look for longs at support
C. D-Shape (Peak in Middle)
- Balanced profile, POC in center
- Interpretation : Equilibrium, neutral market
- Strategy : Range trading between VAH/VAL
D. Thin Profile (LVN Gap)
- Low volume throughout
- Interpretation : Trending market, little acceptance
- Strategy : Trend following, avoid counter-trend trades

Momentum Grid 2.1 + Top Stocks📊 MOMENTUM GRID 2.1 + TOP STOCKS
Overview
A multi-timeframe confirmation system specifically designed for NIFTY 50 and BANK NIFTY index options trading. This script combines 8 independent technical indicators into a weighted scoring model to generate high-probability CE (Call) and PE (Put) signals, while simultaneously tracking the top 5 constituent stocks for sector-wide momentum validation.
________________________________________
🎯 Core Methodology
1. 8-Factor Confirmation System
Unlike traditional single-indicator approaches, this script requires multiple confirmations before generating signals. Each factor votes independently:
Trend Alignment (3 votes):
• C1: Price above/below EMA 9 (immediate trend)
• C2: EMA 9 above/below EMA 20 (short-term momentum)
• C3: EMA 20 above/below EMA 50 (intermediate trend)
Oscillator Confirmation (3 votes):
• C4: RSI above/below 50 (momentum strength)
• C5: Stochastic K above/below D (entry timing)
• C6: MACD Histogram positive/negative (momentum direction)
Advanced Momentum (2 votes):
• C7: Parabolic SAR position (trend continuation)
• C8: Squeeze Momentum direction (volatility expansion)
Mathematical Logic:
Bullish Score = C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5 + C6 + C7 + C8
Signal Triggered when Score ≥ Threshold (default: 5/8)
Why This Works: By requiring 5+ confirmations, the script filters out false signals that occur when only 1-2 indicators align by chance. This dramatically reduces whipsaws in choppy markets.

📈 Constituent Stock Analysis System
Real-Time Top 5 Stocks Tracking
The script fetches live data from the most heavily-weighted stocks in the selected index:
NIFTY 50 Constituents:
• Reliance Industries
• HDFC Bank
• Infosys
• ICICI Bank
• TCS
BANK NIFTY Constituents:
• HDFC Bank
• ICICI Bank
• Kotak Mahindra Bank
• State Bank of India
• Axis Bank
Stock Scoring Algorithm (0-6 Scale):
For each stock, the script calculates a momentum score based on:
1. Price vs EMA 9 position
2. EMA 9 vs EMA 20 relationship
3. EMA 20 vs EMA 50 hierarchy
4. RSI above/below 50
5. MACD histogram direction
6. Intraday price change direction
Signal Interpretation:
• 🚀🔥 Strong Bullish: Score ≥5 + Day Change >0.5%
• ⚠️❄️ Strong Bearish: Score ≤1 + Day Change <-0.5%
• 📈 Moderate Bullish: Score ≥3 + Positive change
• 📉 Moderate Bearish: Score ≤3 + Negative change
Why Track Constituents?
Index options are a weighted average of their components. When 4 out of 5 top stocks show strong bullish signals but the index signal is neutral, it indicates:
• Sector rotation is happening
• Underlying strength not yet reflected in index
• Early warning for potential index breakout

1. Bullish Score ≥ Threshold (5/8 default)
2. Previous bar Bullish Score < Threshold
3. Confirmation candle closes above EMA 9
4. Background turns light green
PE (Put) Signal Triggers When:
1. Bearish Score ≥ Threshold (5/8 default)
2. Previous bar Bearish Score < Threshold
3. Confirmation candle closes below EMA 9
4. Background turns light red
Signal Validation: Labels appear only when a new qualifying bar completes, preventing repainting. The tooltip shows the exact score and entry price for record-keeping.

📊 Technical Indicator Details
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
• Why EMA vs SMA: Exponential weighting gives more importance to recent price action, making it more responsive to trend changes in fast-moving index options.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
• Measures momentum on 0-100 scale
• 50 level acts as bull/bear dividing line
• Used for confirmation, not overbought/oversold
Stochastic Oscillator
• Compares closing price to recent range
• K line crossing above D line = bullish momentum shift
• Sensitive to short-term reversals
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
• Histogram shows momentum acceleration/deceleration
• Positive histogram = increasing bullish momentum
• Used as tiebreaker when other signals conflict
Parabolic SAR
• Tracks stop-and-reverse points
• Dots below price = uptrend, above = downtrend
• Adds trend-following confirmation
Squeeze Momentum
• Identifies periods of low volatility (consolidation)
• Bollinger Bands inside Keltner Channels = "squeeze"
• Positive momentum during squeeze = bullish breakout setup

💡 What Makes This Script Unique
1. Index-Specific Design: Unlike generic multi-timeframe indicators, this is purpose-built for NIFTY/BANKNIFTY options with constituent stock correlation analysis.
2. Multi-Layer Validation: Combines price action (EMAs), momentum (RSI/Stoch/MACD), and volatility (Squeeze) for comprehensive market assessment.
3. Smart Constituent Tracking: Automatically switches stock universe based on selected index, providing sector-level context that single-chart indicators miss.
4. Adaptive Risk Management: ATR-based stop-loss and targets adjust to market volatility automatically, unlike fixed-point systems.
5. No Repainting: All calculations use confirmed bars with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off parameter, ensuring historical backtesting accuracy.
________________________________________
📚 Best Practices
Timeframe Selection:
• 5 min: Scalping (high frequency, tight stops)
• 15 min: Intraday swing trades (balanced)
• 1 hour: Positional option trades (overnight holds)
Trade Execution:
1. Wait for CE/PE label to appear
2. Check Top Stocks Status - look for 3+ stocks confirming index direction
3. Verify Scenario Guide shows acceptable risk-reward (min 1:1.5)
4. Enter on next candle open or use trigger level for limit orders
5. Place stop-loss at "Risk Limit" level
6. Scale out at "Price Objective" or trail with Parabolic SAR
False Signal Filters:
• Avoid signals during first 15 minutes of market open (high volatility)
• Skip signals when Top Stocks show conflicting directions (3 bull, 2 bear)
• Increase threshold to 6/8 during major news events
• Disable trading 30 minutes before important announcements
________________________________________
⚠️ Limitations & Considerations
• Index Options Specific: Optimized for NIFTY/BANKNIFTY - may need recalibration for other instruments
• Not Suitable for Trending Markets: Works best in swing/range conditions; reduce threshold in strong trends
• Constituent Data Dependency: Relies on accurate real-time stock data; verify broker data quality
• Options Greeks Ignored: Script doesn't account for theta decay, IV changes - user must manage option selection
________________________________________
🔔 Built-In Alerts
Set alerts for:
• CE Signal Generated: Bullish score crosses threshold
• PE Signal Generated: Bearish score crosses threshold
Alert messages include ticker symbol and entry price for quick execution.
________________________________________
📈 Performance Optimization Tips
1. Score Correlation Check: If Bull Score and Bear Score are both high (6+/8), market is conflicted - wait for resolution.
2. Stock Divergence Strategy: When 4/5 stocks are bullish but index shows PE signal, it often indicates a false breakdown - counter-trend opportunity.
3. Squeeze Breakout Combo: Strongest signals occur when Squeeze changes from "ON" to "OFF" simultaneously with CE/PE trigger.
4. EMA Stacking: Maximum confidence signals have all three EMAs in proper order (9>20>50 for bull, reverse for bear).
________________________________________
🎓 Educational Context
This methodology synthesizes:
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis: EMAs represent different trend horizons
• Oscillator Convergence: Multiple momentum tools reduce false positives
• Index Arbitrage Concepts: Constituent tracking exploits pricing inefficiencies
• Adaptive Volatility: ATR-based risk scales with market conditions
The 8-factor system mirrors institutional decision frameworks where analysts require consensus across multiple models before position changes.

Trend & Strength Detector TSDTrend Strength Detector (TSD)
*Objective Trend Quality Measurement for Educational Market Analysis*
Note: This mathematical framework is a proprietary quantitative model developed by Ario Pinelab, inspired by classical EMA, ADX, RSI and MACD principles, yet not documented in any public technical or academic publication.
## 🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The ** Trend Strength Detector- TSD ** is an educational research tool that provides **quantitative measurement of trend quality** through two independent scoring systems (0-100 scale). It answers the analytical question: *"How strong and aligned is the current market trend environment?"*
This indicator is designed with a **modular, complementary approach** to work alongside various analysis methodologies, particularly pattern-based recognition systems.
## 🔗 Complementary Research Framework
### Designed to Work With Pattern Detection Systems
This indicator provides **environmental context measurement** that complements qualitative pattern recognition tools. It works particularly well alongside systems like:
- **RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System**
- Traditional chart pattern analyzers
- Any momentum-based pattern identification tools
🔍 **To find RMBS Smart Detector:**
- Search in TradingView Indicators Library: `" RMBS Smart Detector - Multi-Factor Momentum System"`
- Look for: *Multi-Factor Momentum System*
- By author: ` `
### Why This Complementary Approach?
**Trend Quality Measurement** (TSD - this tool) provides:
- ✅ Structural trend alignment (0-100 score)
- ✅ Momentum intensity levels (0-100 score)
- ✅ Environment classification (Strong/Moderate/Weak)
- 📌 **Answers:** *"HOW STRONG is the underlying trend environment?"*
### Educational Research Value
When used together in a research context, these tools enable systematic study of questions like:
- How do reversal patterns behave when Strength Score is above 70 vs below 30?
- Do continuation patterns in weakening environments (declining scores) show different characteristics?
- What is the correlation between high Alignment Scores and pattern "success rates"?
- Can environment classification help identify genuine trend initiation vs false starts?
⚠️ **Important Note:** Both tools are **independent and work standalone**. TSD provides value whether used alone or with other analysis methods. The relationship with RMBS (or any pattern tool) is **complementary for research purposes**, not dependent.
---
###Mathematical Foundation
##TSA Formula: scoring method developed by Ario
-Trend Model (0 – 100)
TAS = EMA Alignment (0–40) + Price Position (0–30) + Trend Consistency (0–30)
EMA Alignment checks EMA_fast vs EMA_slow vs EMA_trend structure.
Price Position evaluates if Close is above/below all EMAs.
Consistency = 3 × max(bullish,bearish bars within 10 candles).
-Strength Model (0 – 100)
Strength = ADX (0–50) + EMA Slope (0–25) + RSI (0–15) + MACD (0–10)
ADX measures trend energy; Slope shows EMA momentum %;
RSI assesses zone positioning; MACD confirms directional agreement.
Note: This formula represents a proprietary quantitative model by Ario_Pinelab, inspired by classical technical concepts but not published in any external reference.________________________________________

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).
