CCY Relative Strength [USD]This script provides an indication of the USD relative strength against other major currencies.
The strength is denoted by sma(roc(close, p1), p2). The USD value is always 0.
p1: SMA Period
p2: ROC Period
If you set the SMA Period to 1, it simply functions as the ROC.
CCI MACDWe usually use closing prices for MACD calculations.
However, this indicator is calculated using CCI.
CCI Secret Sauce 1hr strategy by CryptoLloydChanged the CCI_Period to 30 and T3_Period to 1
Giving us a much clear indication of when to go long or short when used with RSI and MACD.
Rules:
LONG - RSI above 50, MACD Bullish cross - Use common sense, price action, horizontal support/resistance, 55 and 150 EMA's
SHORT - Inverse rule set - Use common sense, price action, horizontal support/resistance, 55 and 150 EMA's
CCI trend and extreme indicatorThis employ multi time frame analysis to give a good visual of where is the market is at.
green = general market is trending up from the confluence of 3 different time frame
red = general market is trending down from the confluence of 3 different time frame
Bright green = overbought and trend is likely to reverse
Bright red = oversold and trend is likely to reverse
Commodity Channel Index DualThe CCI Dual is a custom TradingView indicator built in Pine Script v5, designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals using two Commodity Channel Index (CCI) oscillators. It combines a shorter-period CCI (default: 14) for quick momentum detection with a longer-period CCI (default: 50) for confirmation, focusing on mean-reversion opportunities in overbought or oversold conditions.
This setup is particularly suited for volatile markets like cryptocurrencies on higher timeframes (e.g., 3-day charts), where it highlights reversals by requiring both CCIs to cross out of extreme zones within a short window (default: 3 bars).
The indicator plots the CCIs, customizable bands (inner: 100, OB/OS: 175, outer: 200), dynamic fills for visual emphasis, background highlights for signals, and alert conditions for notifications.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two CCIs based on user-defined lengths and source (default: close price):
CCI Calculation: CCI measures price deviation from its average, using the formula: CCI = (Typical Price - Simple Moving Average) / (0.015 * Mean Deviation). The short CCI reacts faster to price changes, while the long CCI provides smoother, trend-aware confirmation.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Customizable thresholds define extremes (Overbought at +175, Oversold at -175 by default). Bands are plotted at inner (±100), mid (±175 dashed), and outer (±200) levels, with gray fills for the outer zones.
Dynamic Fills: The longer CCI is used to shade areas beyond OB/OS levels in red (overbought) or green (oversold) for quick visual cues.
Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggers when both CCIs cross above the Oversold level (-175) within the signal window (3 bars). This suggests a potential upward reversal from an oversold state.
Sell Signal: Triggers when both cross below the Overbought level (+175) within the window, indicating a possible downward reversal.
Visuals and Alerts: Buy signals highlight the background green, sells red. Separate alertconditions allow setting TradingView alerts for buys or sells independently.
Customization: Adjust lengths, levels, and window via inputs to fit your timeframe or asset—e.g., higher OB/OS for crypto volatility.
This logic reduces noise by requiring dual confirmation, but like all oscillators, it can produce false signals in strong trends where prices stay extended.
To mitigate false signals (e.g., in trending markets), layer the CCI Dual with MACD (default: 12,26,9) and RSI (default: 14) for multi-indicator confirmation:
With MACD: Only take CCI buys if the MACD line is above the signal line (or histogram positive), confirming bullish momentum. For sells, require MACD bearish crossover. This filters counter-trend signals by aligning with trend strength—e.g., ignore CCI sells if MACD shows upward momentum.
With RSI: Confirm CCI oversold buys only if RSI is below 30 and rising (or shows bullish divergence). For overbought sells, RSI above 70 and falling. This adds overextension validation, reducing whipsaws in crypto trends.
I made this customizable for you to find what works best for your asset you are trading. I trade the 6 hour and 3 day timeframe mainly on major cryptocurrency pairs. I hope you enjoy this script and it serves you well.
Trend_Trader_WMA (Momentum)<---> Caution! This is first test version of indicator. I am ready to get more ideas+feedback to develop it more. <--->
The "Momentum_Trader_WMA" indicator is a versatile technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market. It combines multiple indicators and moving averages to provide a comprehensive view of price action and momentum.
Key Features:
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): The indicator calculates two different WMAs with user-defined lengths, providing a smoothed representation of price data.
Average True Range (ATR) Bands: ATR is used to calculate dynamic bands around the WMA Average. These bands can help traders gauge market volatility and potential breakout points. The color of the ATR bands can be seen as an early signal of trends or the continuation of current trends.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI): CCI is a momentum oscillator that measures the relative strength of price changes. The indicator calculates CCI values based on a user-defined period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of CCI: An EMA of CCI is plotted to help identify trends and momentum shifts.
Color-Coded Bands: The ATR bands change colors based on CCI conditions, providing visual cues for potential trading opportunities. When ATR bands transition from narrow (indicating low volatility) to wide (indicating increased volatility), it can be seen as an early signal of a potential trend change or the continuation of the current trend.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers of WMAs and CCI thresholds, making it easier for traders to identify entry and exit points.
Customizable Moving Averages: Traders can enable or disable different moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HMA) with various periods and colors to adapt the indicator to their trading preferences.
CCI Dot Alerts: Dots are displayed at the bottom of the chart based on CCI values, helping traders spot extreme CCI conditions.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The WMAs and ATR bands can help identify the current trend direction and its strength. When the WMAs are in an uptrend (green) and the ATR bands widen, it may indicate a strong bullish trend. Conversely, when the WMAs are in a downtrend (red) and the ATR bands narrow, it may suggest a weakening bearish trend.
Momentum Confirmation: The CCI and its EMA provide insights into market momentum. Look for CCI crossovers above 100 for potential bullish momentum and below -100 for potential bearish momentum.
Buy and Sell Signals: Pay attention to the buy and sell signals generated by the indicator. Buy when the WMAs cross over and CCI crosses above 100. Sell when the WMAs cross under and CCI crosses below -100.
ATR Bands as Early Signals: The color changes in the ATR bands can be seen as early signals of trends or the continuation of current trends. Wide ATR bands may indicate increased volatility and potential trend changes, while narrow ATR bands suggest reduced volatility and potential trend continuation.
Moving Averages: Customize the indicator by enabling or disabling specific moving averages according to your preferred trading strategy.
CCI Dots: Use the CCI dots to identify extreme CCI conditions, which may indicate overbought or oversold market conditions.
PS:
Recommended to use Indicator with price action conecpts(eg. support and resistance) as they play important role in any market.
Buy and sell signals are not really accurate. I would personally look for trend shift in WMA middle line and confirmation from CCI dots at bottom. For example. If middle line turns green and within recent 3-4 candles (or next 3-4 candles) dots tunrns green also, that means momentum has been rised in the direction of bulls.
pls, take s/r concepts first when working. I am thinking to add more precise buy sell signal method to make it easier to trade.
Good luck with your trades :)
Multi-Indicator Signals with Selectable Options by DiGetMulti-Indicator Signals with Selectable Options
Script Overview
This Pine Script is a multi-indicator trading strategy designed to generate buy/sell signals based on combinations of popular technical indicators: RSI (Relative Strength Index) , CCI (Commodity Channel Index) , and Stochastic Oscillator . The script allows you to select which combination of signals to display, making it highly customizable and adaptable to different trading styles.
The primary goal of this script is to provide clear and actionable entry/exit points by visualizing buy/sell signals with arrows , labels , and vertical lines directly on the chart. It also includes input validation, dynamic signal plotting, and clutter-free line management to ensure a clean and professional user experience.
Key Features
1. Customizable Signal Types
You can choose from five signal types:
RSI & CCI : Combines RSI and CCI signals for confirmation.
RSI & Stochastic : Combines RSI and Stochastic signals.
CCI & Stochastic : Combines CCI and Stochastic signals.
RSI & CCI & Stochastic : Requires all three indicators to align for a signal.
All Signals : Displays individual signals from each indicator separately.
This flexibility allows you to test and use the combination that works best for your trading strategy.
2. Clear Buy/Sell Indicators
Arrows : Buy signals are marked with upward arrows (green/lime/yellow) below the candles, while sell signals are marked with downward arrows (red/fuchsia/gray) above the candles.
Labels : Each signal is accompanied by a label ("BUY" or "SELL") near the arrow for clarity.
Vertical Lines : A vertical line is drawn at the exact bar where the signal occurs, extending from the low to the high of the candle. This ensures you can pinpoint the exact entry point without ambiguity.
3. Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels
You can customize the overbought and oversold levels for each indicator:
RSI: Default values are 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold).
CCI: Default values are +100 (overbought) and -100 (oversold).
Stochastic: Default values are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
These levels can be adjusted to suit your trading preferences or market conditions.
4. Input Validation
The script includes built-in validation to ensure that oversold levels are always lower than overbought levels for each indicator. If the inputs are invalid, an error message will appear, preventing incorrect configurations.
5. Clean Chart Design
To avoid clutter, the script dynamically manages vertical lines:
Only the most recent 50 buy/sell lines are displayed. Older lines are automatically deleted to keep the chart clean.
Labels and arrows are placed strategically to avoid overlapping with candles.
6. ATR-Based Offset
The vertical lines and labels are offset using the Average True Range (ATR) to ensure they don’t overlap with the price action. This makes the signals easier to see, especially during volatile market conditions.
7. Scalable and Professional
The script uses arrays to manage multiple vertical lines, ensuring scalability and performance even when many signals are generated.
It adheres to Pine Script v6 standards, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
How It Works
Indicator Calculations :
The script calculates the values of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic Oscillator based on user-defined lengths and smoothing parameters.
It then checks for crossover/crossunder conditions relative to the overbought/oversold levels to generate individual signals.
Combined Signals :
Depending on the selected signal type, the script combines the individual signals logically:
For example, a "RSI & CCI" buy signal requires both RSI and CCI to cross into their respective oversold zones simultaneously.
Signal Plotting :
When a signal is generated, the script:
Plots an arrow (upward for buy, downward for sell) at the corresponding bar.
Adds a label ("BUY" or "SELL") near the arrow for clarity.
Draws a vertical line extending from the low to the high of the candle to mark the exact entry point.
Line Management :
To prevent clutter, the script stores up to 50 vertical lines in arrays (buy_lines and sell_lines). Older lines are automatically deleted when the limit is exceeded.
Why Use This Script?
Versatility : Whether you're a scalper, swing trader, or long-term investor, this script can be tailored to your needs by selecting the appropriate signal type and adjusting the indicator parameters.
Clarity : The combination of arrows, labels, and vertical lines ensures that signals are easy to spot and interpret, even in fast-moving markets.
Customization : With adjustable overbought/oversold levels and multiple signal options, you can fine-tune the script to match your trading strategy.
Professional Design : The script avoids clutter by limiting the number of lines displayed and using ATR-based offsets for better visibility.
How to Use This Script
Add the Script to Your Chart :
Copy and paste the script into the Pine Editor in TradingView.
Save and add it to your chart.
Select Signal Type :
Use the "Signal Type" dropdown menu to choose the combination of indicators you want to use.
Adjust Parameters :
Customize the lengths of RSI, CCI, and Stochastic, as well as their overbought/oversold levels, to match your trading preferences.
Interpret Signals :
Look for green arrows and "BUY" labels for buy signals, and red arrows and "SELL" labels for sell signals.
Vertical lines will help you identify the exact bar where the signal occurred.
Tips for Traders
Backtest Thoroughly : Before using this script in live trading, backtest it on historical data to ensure it aligns with your strategy.
Combine with Other Tools : While this script provides reliable signals, consider combining it with other tools like support/resistance levels or volume analysis for additional confirmation.
Avoid Overloading the Chart : If you notice too many signals, try tightening the overbought/oversold levels or switching to a combined signal type (e.g., "RSI & CCI & Stochastic") for fewer but higher-confidence signals.
Rainbow Oscillator The Rainbow Oscillator is a technical indicator that shows prices in overbought or oversold areas. That allows you to catch the price reversal point.
---------------
FEATURES
---------------
.:: Dynamic levels ::.
The indicator levels are divided into several zones, which have a fibonacci ratio. Zones determine the overbought/oversold level. Blue and green level zones are better for buying, red and orange for selling. Dynamic levels are used as replacements for classic levels such as -100 and 100 for the CCI indicator or 30 and 70 for the RSI indicator. Dynamic levels work much better than static levels, as they are more adaptive to the current market situation.
.:: Composite oscillator (3 in 1) ::.
The main signal line of the indicator includes all three oscillators RSI, CCI, Stoch in different ratios. In the settings, you can change the proportions or completely remove one of the oscillators by setting its weight to 0
.:: CCI + RSI + Stoch ratio setting ::.
Each of the oscillators has its own weight in the calculation formula: w2 * cci ( + w1 * ( rsi - 50) + (1 - w2 - w1) * ( stoch - 50), this allows you to create the resulting oscillator from all indicators, depending on the weight of each of them. Each weight value must be between 0 and 1 so that the sum of all weights does not exceed 1.
.:: Smoothing levels and lines of the oscillator ::.
Smoothing the oscillator readings allows you to filter out the noise and get more accurate data. Level offset allows you to customize the support for inputs.
.:: Market Flat ::.
Dynamic creation of levels allows you to find in the price reversal zone, even when the price is in a flat
.:: Sources ::.
You can change the data source for the indicator to the number of longs and shorts for the selected asset. For example, BTCUSDLONGS / BTCUSDSHORTS is perfect for Bitcoin, then the oscillator will work on this data and will not use the quote price.
.:: Trend Detection ::.
The main line of the oscillator has 2 colors - green and red. Red means downtrend, green means uptrend. Trend reversal points are most often found in overbought and oversold zones.
.:: Alerts ::.
Alerts inside for next events: Buy (blue point) Sell (red point) and TrendReversal (change line color)
----------------
TRADING
—-------------
There are several possible entry points for the indicator, let's consider them all.
1) Trend reversal.
Long entry: The indicator line is in the green zone below 0 (oversold), while the line changes color from red (downward) to green (upward)
Short entry: The indicator line is in the red zone above the 0 (overbought) mark, while the line changes color from green to red.
2) Red and blue dots.
Long entry: Blue dot
Short Entry: Red Dot
I prefer to use the first trading method.
----------------
SETTINGS
----------------
.:: Trend Filter (checkbox) ::.
Use trend confirmation for red/blue dots. When enabled, the blue dot requires an uptrend, red dot requires downtrend confirmation before appearing.
.:: Use long/shorts (checkbox) ::.
Change formula to use longs and shorts positions as data source (instead of quote price)
.:: RSI weight / CCI weight / Stoch weight ::.
Weight control coefficients for RSI and CCI indicators, respectively. When you set RSI Weight = 0, equalize the combo of CCI and Stoch , when RSI Weight is zero and CCI Weight is equal to the oscillator value will be plotted
only from Stoch . Intermediate values have a high degree of measurement of each of the three oscillators in percentage terms from 0 to 100. The calculation uses the formula: w2 * cci ( + w1 * ( rsi - 50) + (1 - w2 - w1) * ( stoch - 50),
where w1 is RSI Weight and w2 is CCI Weight, Stoch weight is calculated on the fly as (1 - w2 - w1), so the sum of w1 + w2 should not exceed 1, in this case Stoch will work as opposed to CCI and RSI .
.:: Oscillograph fast and slow periods ::.
The fast period is the period for the moving average used to smooth CCI, RSI and Stoch. The slow period is the same. The fast period must always be less than the slow period.
.:: Oscillograph samples period::.
The period of smoothing the total values of indicators - creates a fast and slow main lines of the oscillator.
.:: Oscillograph samples count::.
How many times smoothing applied to source data.
.:: Oscillator samples type ::.
Smoothing line type e.g. EMA, SMA, RMA …
.:: Level period ::.
Periodically moving averages used to form the levels (zone) of the Rainbow Oscillator indicator
.:: Level offset ::.
Additional setting for shifting levels from zero points. Can be useful for absorbing levels and filtering input signals. The default is 0.
.:: Level redundant ::.
It characterizes the severity of the state at each iteration of the level of the disease. If set to 1 - the levels will not decrease when the oscillator values fall. If it has a value of 0.99 - the levels are reduced by 0.01
each has an oscillator in 1% of cases and is pressed to 0 by more aggressive ones.
.:: Level smooth samples ::.
setting allows you to set the number of strokes per level. Measuring the number of averages with the definition of the type of moving averages
.:: Level MA Type ::.
Type of moving average, average for the formation of a smoothing overbought and oversold zone
Commodity Trend Reactor [BigBeluga]
🔵 OVERVIEW
A dynamic trend-following oscillator built around the classic CCI, enhanced with intelligent price tracking and reversal signals.
Commodity Trend Reactor extends the traditional Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by integrating trend-trailing logic and reactive reversal markers. It visualizes trend direction using a trailing stop system and highlights potential exhaustion zones when CCI exceeds extreme thresholds. This dual-level system makes it ideal for both trend confirmation and mean-reversion alerts.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Based on the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) oscillator, which measures deviation from the average price.
Trend bias is determined by whether CCI is above or below user-defined thresholds.
Trailing price bands are used to lock in trend direction visually on the main chart.
Extreme values beyond ±200 are treated as potential reversal zones.
🔵 FEATURES\
CCI-Based Trend Shifts:
Triggers a bullish bias when CCI crosses above the upper threshold, and bearish when it crosses below the lower threshold.
Adaptive Trailing Stops:
In bullish mode, a trailing stop tracks the lowest price; in bearish mode, it tracks the highest.
Top & Bottom Markers:
When CCI surpasses +200 or drops below -200, it plots colored squares both on the oscillator and on price, marking potential reversal zones.
Background Highlights:
Each time a trend shift occurs, the background is softly colored (lime for bullish, orange for bearish) to highlight the change.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the oscillator to monitor when CCI crosses above or below threshold values to detect trend activation.
Enter trades in the direction of the trailing band once the trend bias is confirmed.
Watch for +200 and -200 square markers as warnings of potential mean reversals.
Use trailing stop areas as dynamic support/resistance to manage stop loss and exit strategies.
The background color changes offer clean confirmation of trend transitions on chart.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Commodity Trend Reactor transforms the simple CCI into a complete trend-reactive framework. With real-time trailing logic and clear reversal alerts, it serves both momentum traders and contrarian scalpers alike. Whether you’re trading breakouts or anticipating mean reversions, this indicator provides clarity and structure to your decision-making.
ADW - Volatility MapThe ADW - Volatility Map script is a tool for traders to measure and visualize the volatility of a specific asset. It uses both the Average True Range (ATR) and True Range (TR) values in combination with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to provide a comprehensive map of the market's volatility.
Average True Range (ATR) : ATR is a measure of market volatility. It measures the average of true price ranges over a time period. In this script, we use it to calculate the ATR-CCI which gives us a more precise measure of volatility.
True Range (TR) : TR is the greatest distance the price moved during a period. It is used in this script to calculate the TR-CCI, adding another level of detail to our volatility measurement.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI) : CCI is a versatile indicator that can be used to identify a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. We use it to scale and compare the ATR and TR values, hence providing a relative measure of volatility.
The script interprets the CCI values and provides four different conditions for both ATR and TR:
Is Low (CCI < 0)
Is High (CCI > 0)
Is Extremely Low (CCI <= -100)
Is Extremely High (CCI >= 100)
The interpretation of these conditions is displayed on the chart using colour highlighting. When the ATR or TR are low, high, extremely low, or extremely high, the script fills the chart accordingly.
In addition, the script has an option `awaitBarConfirmation` set at the beginning. If this is true, the script will only display indicators for fully formed bars, ensuring that the indicators you see are based on confirmed information.
Note: The colours for different conditions can be customized at the beginning of the script, allowing you to personalize the visual output to match your preferences.
This script is designed to provide a visually clear and immediate understanding of the market's volatility. Use it to enhance your decision-making process and adapt your trading strategy to the current market conditions.
Genesis Matrix [Loxx]Over a decade ago, the Genesis Matrix system was one of best strategies for new traders looking to learn how to really trade trends. Fast forward to 2022, a new version of Genesis Matrix has emerged using TVI, CCI, HL Channel & T3
What is T3?
The T3 moving average is an indicator of an indicator since it includes several EMAs of another EMA. Unlike any other moving average, it adds the so-called volume factor, a value between 0 and 1. Like the SMA, traders typically use this indicator to spot trends and trend reversals.
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
Genesis matrix uses Jurik-Smoothed CCI w/ MA Deviation--a spin on regular CCI .Usually CCI is calculated as using average ( Simple Moving Average ) and mean deviation. In this version, average is replaced with well known JMA (Jurik Moving Average) instead for the smoothing phase and the deviation is replaced with variety moving average deviation. The result in this one is responsive and fast (as expected) and also it is smoother than the original CCI (as expected).
What is SSL?
Known as the SSL, the Semaphore Signal Level channel chart alert is an indicator that combines moving averages to provide you with a clear visual signal of price movement dynamics. In short, it's designed to show you when a price trend is forming. For our purposes here, SSL has been modified to allow for different moving average selection and different closing price look back periods.
What is William Blau Ergodic Tick Volume?
This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more, we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and non-trending periods.
William Blau's definition of TVI ergodicity is that the indictor is ergodic when periods are set to 32, 5, 1, and the signal is set to 5. Other combinations are not ergodic, according to Blau.

Falcon Commodity Channel IndexFalcon CCI indicator is a superb indicator for anyone who wants to dig deep and still float. The trading lifestyle requires you to be one step ahead of everyone else, while doing so, you want to manage risk, enter at correct positions and perhaps exit at correct positions too.
Exiting at correct positions is so over rated, people tend to forget that exit is as important as entry and therefore we need to make sure that we use a good indicator setup that helps us to do that.
Falcon CCI Indicator is a receipe developed by me during recent Bitcoin slump, where we really needed something more to help us get pass through ups and downs, sudden movements and volatility in the market.
This indicator is perfect even for the swing and trend traders, intra day and day traders who want a quick win, rather than invest for long term.
Here are entry and exit plans based on this indicator:-
Setup: I keep CCI at 20, MA at 14 and EMA at 7 but I change it depending on the stock or crypto. Truth is, you can play with it and find what is best for your trading setups, but once you are done, it really works.
Buy: Buy when CCI crosses above MA or EMA , but CCI should be below 50
Sell: Sell when CCI crosses below MA or EMA (You need to choose), CCI should be above 150
There can be other entry and exit based on just CCI values, and therefore I have added some max and min inputs too in the indicator, e.g. Buy when CCI is -180 and sell when CCI is 300.
Trading is a long process.
To all my friends who have lost in futures , or anywhere else in the market, don't worry, just follow the process and follow your own rules. Don't break them.
You can connect with me on Trading View, message me to discuss this further. Happy to take your questions.
P.S you can also add linear regression to this to give you certain price points, for market tops or bottoms within the time frame.

3. Strategy Overview
What is the Supertrend Advance Strategy?
The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals.
In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point.
Strategy Goals and Objectives:
1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor.
2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making.
3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability.
4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system.
Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy:
1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices.
2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders.
3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements.
4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters.
5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits.
It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades.
4. Input Settings
Understanding and correctly configuring input settings is crucial for optimizing the Supertrend Advance Strategy for any specific market or asset. These settings, when tweaked correctly, can drastically impact the strategy's performance.
Grouping Inputs:
Before diving into individual input settings, it's important to group similar inputs. Grouping can simplify the user interface, making it easier to adjust settings related to a specific function or indicator.
Strategy Choice:
This input allows traders to select from various strategies that incorporate the Supertrend indicator. Options might include "Supertrend with RSI," "Supertrend with MACD," etc. By choosing a strategy, the associated input settings for that strategy become available.
Supertrend Settings:
1. Multiplier: Typically, a default value of 3 is used. This multiplier is used in the ATR calculation. Increasing it makes the Supertrend line further from prices, while decreasing it brings the line closer.
2. Period: The number of bars used in the ATR calculation. A common default is 7.
EMA Settings (Exponential Moving Average):
1. Period: Defines the number of previous bars used to calculate the EMA. Common periods are 9, 21, 50, and 200.
2. Source: Allows traders to choose which price (Open, Close, High, Low) to use in the EMA calculation.
RSI Settings (Relative Strength Index):
1. Length: Determines how many periods are used for RSI calculation. The standard setting is 14.
2. Overbought Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered overbought, typically set at 70.
3. Oversold Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered oversold, often at 30.
MACD Settings (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
1. Short Period: The shorter EMA, usually set to 12.
2. Long Period: The longer EMA, commonly set to 26.
3. Signal Period: Defines the EMA of the MACD line, typically set at 9.
CCI Settings (Commodity Channel Index):
1. Period: The number of bars used in the CCI calculation, often set to 20.
2. Overbought Level: Typically set at +100, denoting overbought conditions.
3. Oversold Level: Usually set at -100, indicating oversold conditions.
SL/TP Settings (Stop Loss/Take Profit):
1. SL Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the stop loss.
2. TP Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the take profit.
Filtering Conditions:
This section allows traders to set conditions to filter out certain signals. For example, one might only want to take buy signals when the RSI is below 30, ensuring they buy during oversold conditions.
Trade Direction and Backtest Period:
1. Trade Direction: Allows traders to specify whether they want to take long trades, short trades, or both.
2. Backtest Period: Specifies the time range for backtesting the strategy. Traders can choose from options like 'Last 6 months,' 'Last 1 year,' etc.
It's essential to remember that while default settings are provided for many of these tools, optimal settings can vary based on the market, timeframe, and trading style. Always backtest new settings on historical data to gauge their potential efficacy.
5. Understanding Strategy Conditions
Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point.
Basic Logic Behind Conditions:
Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum.
2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum.
Simple Strategy:
The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here:
• Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line.
• Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line.
Pullback Strategy:
This strategy capitalizes on price retracements:
• Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator.
• Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator.
Indicators Used:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
• Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
• Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition.
And others...
As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives.
Logic Behind Each Indicator:
1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels.
2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes.
3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs.
4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change.
Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets.
6. Trade Execution and Management
Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
Position Entry:
Effective trade entry revolves around:
1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators.
2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal.
3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover.
Position Exit Strategies:
A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies:
1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period.
2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain.
3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal.
Percentage-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses.
• Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98.
• Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains.
• Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105.
Supertrend-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal.
• Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum.
Swing high/low-based SL/TP:
• Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high.
• Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support.
And other methods...
1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages.
3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal.
Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance.
7. Visual Representations
Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance.
Understanding Plots on the Chart:
Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves.
1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day.
2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance:
1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal.
2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend.
Filled Areas:
These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance:
1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility.
2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels.
Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines:
These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades.
1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance.
2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors.
Trailing Stop Lines:
A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart:
1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in.
2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises.
Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results.
8. Backtesting
Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of.
Setting Up Backtest Period:
1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years.
2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results.
3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments.
Analyzing Backtest Results:
1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency.
2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics.
3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss.
4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover.
9. Tips and Best Practices
Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy.
When to Use the Strategy:
1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets.
2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news.
3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume.
Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes:
1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity.
2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes.
3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions.

Other comments
Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together
Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point.
Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced.
Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios.
Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market.
How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together?
Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points.
In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions.
Backtesting and Default Settings
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
• Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).
Supply and Demand Zone ConfirmationHello traders and investors,
Today, I am going to share an indicator that I made by mixing RSI and CCI in different timeframe. You can use this indicator in various ways, however the best possible way I would recommend you to use it is to combine it with price action. I would suggest to play with, so you can decide if it works the best for you.
The whole purpose of making this indicator was to eliminate confusion around different indicators for overbought and oversold and many other headaches. You use price action and you are looking for confirmation to see there is a PRZ? here is your indicator. I found there are certain patterns with CCI and RSI in higher timeframe which helps to find the PRZ and I made this indicator with it.
You can choose to use this indicator in different timeframe. But you have to consider, the lower timeframe you'll go, you will get more signals but the effectiveness goes down with it. Also, if you are willing to change the time frame, You have to change some settings as well which I'll get into it in a moment.
The default settings are for 30min timeframe with these settings.

I would suggest to play with different timeframe to find the suitable setting for the pairs you would like to trade. The main goal is you have to choose first CCI one timeframe higher ( if you are in 5min chart, first CCI should be at least 15 or 30min) and the second CCI one timeframe higher than first CCI (if you choose 15min for first CCI, go with 1hr for second CCI). And lastly, RSI can be variable but it is suggested to be at least as low as first CCI timeframe.
Lastly, you have to consider nothing in this script is a financial advice, it is only to help you improve your trading style by making other indicators as simple as possible.
Rikki's DikFat Bull/Bear OscillatorRikki's DikFat Bull/Bear Oscillator - Trend Identification & Candle Colorization
Rikki's DikFat Bull/Bear Oscillator is a powerful visual tool designed to help traders easily identify bullish and bearish trends on the chart. By analyzing market momentum using specific elements of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) , this indicator highlights key trend reversals and continuations with color-coded candles, allowing you to quickly spot areas of opportunity.
How It Works
At the heart of this indicator is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) , a popular momentum-based oscillator. The CCI measures the deviation of price from its average over a specified period (default is 30 bars). This helps identify whether the market is overbought, oversold, or trending.
Here's how the indicator interprets the CCI:
Bullish Trend (Green Candles) : When the market is showing signs of continued upward momentum, the candles turn green. This happens when the current CCI is less than 200 and moves from a value greater than 100 with velocity, signaling that the upward trend is still strong, and the market is likely to continue rising. Green candles indicate bullish price action , suggesting it might be a good time to look for buying opportunities or hold your current long position.
Bearish Trend (Red Candles) : Conversely, when the CCI shows signs of downward momentum (both the current and previous CCI readings are negative), the candles turn red. This signals that the market is likely in a bearish trend , with downward price action expected to continue. Red candles are a visual cue to consider selling opportunities or to stay out of the market if you're risk-averse.
How to Use It
Bullish Market : When you see green candles, the market is in a bullish phase. This suggests that prices are moving upward, and you may want to focus on buying signals . Green candles are your visual confirmation of a strong upward trend.
Bearish Market : When red candles appear, the market is in a bearish phase. This indicates that prices are moving downward, and you may want to consider selling or staying out of long positions. Red candles signal that downward pressure is likely to continue.
Why It Works
This indicator uses momentum to identify shifts in trend. By tracking the movement of the CCI , the oscillator detects whether the market is trending strongly or simply moving in a sideways range. The color changes in the candles help you quickly visualize where the market momentum is headed, giving you an edge in determining potential buy or sell opportunities.
Clear Visual Signals : The green and red candles make it easy to follow market trends, even for beginners.
Identifying Trend Continuations : The oscillator helps spot ongoing trends, whether bullish or bearish, so you can align your trades with the prevailing market direction.
Quick Decision-Making : By using color-coded candles, you can instantly know whether to consider entering a long (buy) or short (sell) position without needing to dive into complex indicators.
NOTES This indicator draws and colors it's own candles bodies, wicks and borders. In order to have the completed visualization of red and green trends, you may need to adjust your TradingView chart settings to turn off or otherwise modify chart candles.
Conclusion
With Rikki's DikFat Bull/Bear Oscillator , you have an intuitive and easy-to-read tool that helps identify bullish and bearish trends based on proven momentum indicators. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced trader, this oscillator allows you to stay in tune with the market’s direction and make more informed, confident trading decisions.
Make sure to use this indicator in conjunction with your own trading strategy and risk management plan to maximize your trading potential and limit your risks.

How It Works:
The Trend Magic Enhanced indicator integrates the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Average True Range (ATR) to calculate a dynamic Trend Magic line. By adjusting price levels based on CCI values—upward when CCI is positive and downward when negative—and factoring in ATR for market volatility, it creates adaptive support and resistance levels. Optionally smoothed with various moving averages to reduce noise, the indicator changes line color based on trend direction, highlights trend changes with arrows, and provides alerts for significant shifts, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points.
Enhancements Over the Original Trend Magic Indicator
The Trend Magic Enhanced indicator significantly refines the trend identification method of the original Trend Magic script by introducing customizable smoothing options and additional analytical features. While the original indicator determines trend direction solely based on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) crossing above or below zero and adjusts the Magic Trend line using the Average True Range (ATR), the enhanced version allows users to smooth the Magic Trend line with various moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA). This smoothing reduces market noise and provides clearer trend signals. Additionally, the enhanced indicator incorporates price action analysis by detecting crossovers and crossunders of price with the Magic Trend line, and it visually marks trend changes with up and down arrows on the chart. These improvements offer a more responsive and accurate trend detection compared to the original method, enabling traders to identify potential entry and exit points more effectively.
