UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI)UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI) + Alerts
The UFO is a hybrid of two powerful oscillators - the Ultimate Oscillator (UO) and the Money Flow Index (MFI)
Features of the UFO include:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime.
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur, as well as centerline crossovers.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the oscillator has crossed its centerline.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
- 2x MTF triple-timeframe Stochastic RSI overbought and oversold confluence signals painted at the top of the panel for use as a confluence for reversal entry trades.
The core calculations of the UFO+ combine the factory settings of the Ultimate Oscillator and Money Flow Index, taking an average of their combined values for its output eg:
UO_Value + MFI_Value / 2
The result is a powerful oscillator capable of detecting high quality divergences, including on very low timeframes and highly volatile markets, it benefits from the higher weighting of the most recent price action provided by the Ultimate Oscillators calculations, as well as the calculation of the MFI, which incorporates volume data. The UFO and its incorporated 2x triple-timeframe MTF Stoch RSI overbought and oversold signals makes it well adapted for low timeframe scalping and regular divergence trades in particular.
The Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Tradingview describes the Ultimate Oscillator as follows:
“The Ultimate Oscillator indicator (UO) is a technical analysis tool used to measure momentum across three varying timeframes. The problem with many momentum oscillators is that after a rapid advance or decline in price, they can form false divergence trading signals. For example, after a rapid rise in price, a bearish divergence signal may present itself, however price continues to rise. The Ultimate Oscillator attempts to correct this by using multiple timeframes in its calculation as opposed to just one timeframe which is what is used in most other momentum oscillators.”

The Money Flow Index ( MFI )
Investopedia describes the True Strength Indicator as follows:
“The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .”
You can read more about the MFI and its calculations here
The Stochastic RSI (relating to the built-in MTF Stoch RSI feature)
The popular oscillator has been described as follows:
“The Stochastic RSI is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index ( RSI ) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The Stochastic RSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change.”
You can read more about the Stochastic RSI and its calculations here
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI .
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot period.
You can adjust the default pivot lookback values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.
Disclaimer: This script includes code from the stock UO and MFI by Tradingview as well as the Divergence for Many Indicators v4 by LonesomeTheBlue.
Adaptive, Jurik-Filtered, Floating RSI [Loxx]Adaptive, Jurik-Filtered, Floating RSI is an adaptive RSI indicator that smooths the RSI signal with a Jurik Filter.
This indicator contains three different types of RSI. They are following.
Wilders' RSI:
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements. Essentially RSI , when graphed, provides a visual mean to monitor both the current, as well as historical, strength and weakness of a particular market. The strength or weakness is based on closing prices over the duration of a specified trading period creating a reliable metric of price and momentum changes. Given the popularity of cash settled instruments (stock indexes) and leveraged financial products (the entire field of derivatives); RSI has proven to be a viable indicator of price movements.
RSX RSI:
RSI is a very popular technical indicator, because it takes into consideration market speed, direction and trend uniformity. However, the its widely criticized drawback is its noisy (jittery) appearance. The Jurk RSX retains all the useful features of RSI , but with one important exception: the noise is gone with no added lag.
Rapid RSI:
Rapid RSI Indicator, from Ian Copsey's article in the October 2006 issue of Stocks & Commodities magazine.
RapidRSI resembles Wilder's RSI , but uses a SMA instead of a WilderMA for internal smoothing of price change accumulators.
This indicator also uses adaptive cycles to calculate input lengths
What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average ( KAMA ) and Tushar Chande’s variable index dynamic average ( VIDYA ) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index ( RSI ), commodity channel index ( CCI ), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."
Lastly, RSI is filtered and smoothed using a Jurik Filter
What is Jurik Volty?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.

Ultimate Scalping Tool[BullByte]Overview
The Ultimate Scalping Tool is an open-source TradingView indicator built for scalpers and short-term traders released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It uses a custom Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) oscillator to combine multiple market forces into one visual signal. In plain terms, the script reads momentum, trend strength, volatility, and volume together and plots a special “candlestick” each bar (the QFC) that reflects the overall market bias. This unified view makes it easier to spot entries and exits: the tool labels signals as Strong Buy/Sell, Pullback (a brief retracement in a trend), Early Entry, or Exit Warning . It also provides color-coded alerts and a small dashboard of metrics. In practice, traders see green/red oscillator bars and symbols on the chart when conditions align, helping them scalp or trend-follow without reading multiple separate indicators.
Core Components
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Construction
The QFC is the heart of the indicator. Rather than using raw price, it creates a candlestick-like bar from the underlying oscillator values. Each QFC bar has an “open,” “high/low,” and “close” derived from calculated momentum and volatility inputs for that period . In effect, this turns the oscillator into intuitive candle patterns so traders can recognize momentum shifts visually. (For comparison, note that Heikin-Ashi candles “have a smoother look because take an average of the movement”. The QFC instead represents exact oscillator readings, so it reflects true momentum changes without hiding price action.) Colors of QFC bars change dynamically (e.g. green for bullish momentum, red for bearish) to highlight shifts. This is the first open-source QFC oscillator that dynamically weights four non-correlated indicators with moving thresholds, which makes it a unique indicator on its own.
Oscillator Normalization & Adaptive Weights
The script normalizes its oscillator to a fixed scale (for example, a 0–100 range much like the RSI) so that various inputs can be compared fairly. It then applies adaptive weighting: the relative influence of trend, momentum, volatility or volume signals is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions. For instance, in very volatile markets the script might weight volatility more heavily, or in a strong trend it might give extra weight to trend direction. Normalizing data and adjusting weights helps keep the QFC sensitive but stable (normalization ensures all inputs fit a common scale).
Trend/Momentum/Volume/Volatility Fusion
Unlike a typical single-factor oscillator, the QFC oscillator fuses four aspects at once. It may compute, for example, a trend indicator (such as an ADX or moving average slope), a momentum measure (like RSI or Rate-of-Change), a volume-based pressure (similar to MFI/OBV), and a volatility measure (like ATR) . These different values are combined into one composite oscillator. This “multi-dimensional” approach follows best practices of using non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) for confirmation. By encoding all these signals in one line, a high QFC reading means that trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned, whereas a neutral reading might mean mixed conditions. This gives traders a comprehensive picture of market strength.
Signal Classification
The script interprets the QFC oscillator to label trades. For example:
• Strong Buy/Sell : Triggered when the oscillator crosses a high-confidence threshold (e.g. breaks clearly above zero with strong slope), indicating a well-confirmed move. This is like seeing a big green/red QFC candle aligned with the trend.
• Pullbacks : Identified when the trend is up but momentum dips briefly. A Pullback Buy appears if the overall trend is bullish but the oscillator has a short retracement – a typical buying opportunity in an uptrend. (A pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : Marks an initial swing in the oscillator suggesting a possible new trend, before it is fully confirmed. It’s a hint of momentum building (an early-warning signal), not as strong as the confirmed “Strong” signal.
• Exit Warnings : Issued when momentum peaks or reverses. For instance, if the QFC bars reach a high and start turning red/green opposite, the indicator warns that the move may be ending. In other words, a Momentum Peak is the point of maximum strength after which weakness may follow.
These categories correspond to typical trading concepts: Pullback (temporary reversal in an uptrend), Early Buy (an initial bullish cross), Strong Buy (confirmed bullish momentum), and Momentum Peak (peak oscillator value suggesting exhaustion).
Filters (DI Reversal, Dynamic Thresholds, HTF EMA/ADX)
Extra filters help avoid bad trades. A DI Reversal filter uses the +DI/–DI lines (from the ADX system) to require that the trend direction confirms the signal . For example, it might ignore a buy signal if the +DI is still below –DI. Dynamic Thresholds adjust signal levels on-the-fly: rather than fixed “overbought” lines, they move with volatility so signals happen under appropriate market stress. An optional High-Timeframe EMA or ADX filter adds a check against a larger timeframe trend: for instance, only taking a trade if price is above the weekly EMA or if weekly ADX shows a strong trend. (Notably, the ADX is “a technical indicator used by traders to determine the strength of a price trend”, so requiring a high-timeframe ADX avoids trading against the bigger trend.)
Dashboard Metrics & Color Logic
The Dashboard in the Ultimate Scalping Tool (UST) serves as a centralized information hub, providing traders with real-time insights into market conditions, trend strength, momentum, volume pressure, and trade signals. It is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust its appearance and content based on their preferences.
1. Dashboard Layout & Customization
Short vs. Extended Mode : Users can toggle between a compact view (9 rows) and an extended view (13 rows) via the `Short Dashboard` input.
Text Size Options : The dashboard supports three text sizes— Tiny, Small, and Normal —adjustable via the `Dashboard Text Size` input.
Positioning : The dashboard is positioned in the top-right corner by default but can be moved if modified in the script.
2. Key Metrics Displayed
The dashboard presents critical trading metrics in a structured table format:
Trend (TF) : Indicates the current trend direction (Strong Bullish, Moderate Bullish, Sideways, Moderate Bearish, Strong Bearish) based on normalized trend strength (normTrend) .
Momentum (TF) : Displays momentum status (Strong Bullish/Bearish or Neutral) derived from the oscillator's position relative to dynamic thresholds.
Volume (CMF) : Shows buying/selling pressure levels (Very High Buying, High Selling, Neutral, etc.) based on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator.
Basic & Advanced Signals:
Basic Signal : Provides simple trade signals (Strong Buy, Strong Sell, Pullback Buy, Pullback Sell, No Trade).
Advanced Signal : Offers nuanced signals (Early Buy/Sell, Momentum Peak, Weakening Momentum, etc.) with color-coded alerts.
RSI : Displays the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value, colored based on overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral conditions.
HTF Filter : Indicates the higher timeframe trend status (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) when using the Leading HTF Filter.
VWAP : Shows the V olume-Weighted Average Price and whether the current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) it.
ADX : Displays the Average Directional Index (ADX) value, with color highlighting whether it is rising (green) or falling (red).
Market Mode : Shows the selected market type (Crypto, Stocks, Options, Forex, Custom).
Regime : Indicates volatility conditions (High, Low, Moderate) based on the **ATR ratio**.
3. Filters Status Panel
A secondary panel displays the status of active filters, helping traders quickly assess which conditions are influencing signals:
- DI Reversal Filter: On/Off (confirms reversals before generating signals).
- Dynamic Thresholds: On/Off (adjusts buy/sell thresholds based on volatility).
- Adaptive Weighting: On/Off (auto-adjusts oscillator weights for trend/momentum/volatility).
- Early Signal: On/Off (enables early momentum-based signals).
- Leading HTF Filter: On/Off (applies higher timeframe trend confirmation).
4. Visual Enhancements
Color-Coded Cells : Each metric is color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral) for quick interpretation.
Dynamic Background : The dashboard background adapts to market conditions (bullish/bearish/neutral) based on ADX and DI trends.
Customizable Reference Lines : Users can enable/disable fixed reference lines for the oscillator.
How It(QFC) Differs from Traditional Indicators
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Versus Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price by averaging (HA’s open/close use averages) so they show trend clearly but hide true price (the current HA bar’s close is not the real price). QFC candles are different: they are oscillator values, not price averages . A Heikin-Ashi chart “has a smoother look because it is essentially taking an average of the movement”, which can cause lag. The QFC instead shows the raw combined momentum each bar, allowing faster recognition of shifts. In short, HA is a smoothed price chart; QFC is a momentum-based chart.
Versus Standard Oscillators
Common oscillators like RSI or MACD use fixed formulas on price (or price+volume). For example, RSI “compares gains and losses and normalizes this value on a scale from 0 to 100”, reflecting pure price momentum. MFI is similar but adds volume. These indicators each show one dimension: momentum or volume. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s QFC goes further by integrating trend strength and volatility too. In practice, this means a move that looks strong on RSI might be downplayed by low volume or weak trend in QFC. As one source notes, using multiple non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) provides a more complete market picture. The QFC’s multi-factor fusion is unique – it is effectively a multi-dimensional oscillator rather than a traditional single-input one.
Signal Style
Traditional oscillators often use crossovers (RSI crossing 50) or fixed zones (MACD above zero) for signals. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s signals are custom-classified: it explicitly labels pullbacks, early entries, and strong moves. These terms go beyond a typical indicator’s generic “buy”/“sell.” In other words, it packages a strategy around the oscillator, which traders can backtest or observe without reading code.
Key Term Definitions
• Pullback : A short-term dip or consolidation in an uptrend. In this script, a Pullback Buy appears when price is generally rising but shows a brief retracement. (As defined by Investopedia, a pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : An initial or tentative entry signal. It means the oscillator first starts turning positive (or negative) before a full trend has developed. It’s an early indication that a trend might be starting.
• Strong Buy/Sell : A confident entry signal when multiple conditions align. This label is used when momentum is already strong and confirmed by trend/volume filters, offering a higher-probability trade.
• Momentum Peak : The point where bullish (or bearish) momentum reaches its maximum before weakening. When the oscillator value stops rising (or falling) and begins to reverse, the script flags it as a peak – signaling that the current move could be overextended.
What is the Flux MA?
The Flux MA (Moving Average) is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to a normalized oscillator, referred to as FM . Its purpose is to smooth out the fluctuations of the oscillator, providing a clearer picture of the underlying trend direction and strength. Think of it as a dynamic baseline that the oscillator moves above or below, helping you determine whether the market is trending bullish or bearish.
How it’s calculated (Flux MA):
1.The oscillator is normalized (scaled to a range, typically between 0 and 1, using a default scale factor of 100.0).
2.An EMA is applied to this normalized value (FM) over a user-defined period (default is 10 periods).
3.The result is rescaled back to the oscillator’s original range for plotting.
Why it matters : The Flux MA acts like a support or resistance level for the oscillator, making it easier to spot trend shifts.
Color of the Flux Candle
The Quantum Flux Candle visualizes the normalized oscillator (FM) as candlesticks, with colors that indicate specific market conditions based on the relationship between the FM and the Flux MA. Here’s what each color means:
• Green : The FM is above the Flux MA, signaling bullish momentum. This suggests the market is trending upward.
• Red : The FM is below the Flux MA, signaling bearish momentum. This suggests the market is trending downward.
• Yellow : Indicates strong buy conditions (e.g., a "Strong Buy" signal combined with a positive trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go long.
• Purple : Indicates strong sell conditions (e.g., a "Strong Sell" signal combined with a negative trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go short.
The candle mode shows the oscillator’s open, high, low, and close values for each period, similar to price candlesticks, but it’s the color that provides the quick visual cue for trading decisions.
How to Trade the Flux MA with Respect to the Candle
Trading with the Flux MA and Quantum Flux Candle involves using the MA as a trend indicator and the candle colors as entry and exit signals. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Identify the Trend Direction
• Bullish Trend : The Flux Candle is green and positioned above the Flux MA. This indicates upward momentum.
• Bearish Trend : The Flux Candle is red and positioned below the Flux MA. This indicates downward momentum.
The Flux MA serves as the reference line—candles above it suggest buying pressure, while candles below it suggest selling pressure.
2. Interpret Candle Colors for Trade Signals
• Green Candle : General bullish momentum. Consider entering or holding a long position.
• Red Candle : General bearish momentum. Consider entering or holding a short position.
• Yellow Candle : A strong buy signal. This is an ideal time to enter a long trade.
• Purple Candle : A strong sell signal. This is an ideal time to enter a short trade.
3. Enter Trades Based on Crossovers and Colors
• Long Entry : Enter a buy position when the Flux Candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA. If it turns yellow, this is an even stronger signal to go long.
• Short Entry : Enter a sell position when the Flux Candle turns red and crosses below the Flux MA. If it turns purple, this is an even stronger signal to go short.
4. Exit Trades
• Exit Long : Close your buy position when the Flux Candle turns red or crosses below the Flux MA, indicating the bullish trend may be reversing.
• Exit Short : Close your sell position when the Flux Candle turns green or crosses above the Flux MA, indicating the bearish trend may be reversing.
•You might also exit a long trade if the candle changes from yellow to green (weakening strong buy signal) or a short trade from purple to red (weakening strong sell signal).
5. Use Additional Confirmation
To avoid false signals, combine the Flux MA and candle signals with other indicators or dashboard metrics (e.g., trend strength, momentum, or volume pressure). For example:
•A yellow candle with a " Strong Bullish " trend and high buying volume is a robust long signal.
•A red candle with a " Moderate Bearish " trend and neutral momentum might need more confirmation before shorting.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re scalping a cryptocurrency:
• Long Trade : The Flux Candle turns yellow and is above the Flux MA, with the dashboard showing "Strong Buy" and high buying volume. You enter a long position. You exit when the candle turns red and dips below the Flux MA.
• Short Trade : The Flux Candle turns purple and crosses below the Flux MA, with a "Strong Sell" signal on the dashboard. You enter a short position. You exit when the candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA.
Market Presets and Adaptation
This indicator is designed to work on any market with candlestick price data (stocks, crypto, forex, indices, etc.). To handle different behavior, it provides presets for major asset classes. Selecting a “Stocks,” “Crypto,” “Forex,” or “Options” preset automatically loads a set of parameter values optimized for that market . For example, a crypto preset might use a shorter lookback or higher sensitivity to account for crypto’s high volatility, while a stocks preset might use slightly longer smoothing since stocks often trend more slowly. In practice, this means the same core QFC logic applies across markets, but the thresholds and smoothing adjust so signals remain relevant for each asset type.
Usage Guidelines
• Recommended Timeframes : Optimized for 1 minute to 15 minute intraday charts. Can also be used on higher timeframes for short term swings.
• Market Types : Select “Crypto,” “Stocks,” “Forex,” or “Options” to auto tune periods, thresholds and weights. Use “Custom” to manually adjust all inputs.
• Interpreting Signals : Always confirm a signal by checking that trend, volume, and VWAP agree on the dashboard. A green “Strong Buy” arrow with green trend, green volume, and price > VWAP is highest probability.
• Adjusting Sensitivity : To reduce false signals in fast markets, enable DI Reversal Confirmation and Dynamic Thresholds. For more frequent entries in trending environments, enable Early Entry Trigger.
• Risk Management : This tool does not plot stop loss or take profit levels. Users should define their own risk parameters based on support/resistance or volatility bands.
Background Shading
To give you an at-a-glance sense of market regime without reading numbers, the indicator automatically tints the chart background in three modes—neutral, bullish and bearish—with two levels of intensity (light vs. dark):
Neutral (Gray)
When ADX is below 20 the market is considered “no trend” or too weak to trade. The background fills with a light gray (high transparency) so you know to sit on your hands.
Bullish (Green)
As soon as ADX rises above 20 and +DI exceeds –DI, the background turns a semi-transparent green, signaling an emerging uptrend. When ADX climbs above 30 (strong trend), the green becomes more opaque—reminding you that trend-following signals (Strong Buy, Pullback) carry extra weight.
Bearish (Red)
Similarly, if –DI exceeds +DI with ADX >20, you get a light red tint for a developing downtrend, and a darker, more solid red once ADX surpasses 30.
By dynamically varying both hue (green vs. red vs. gray) and opacity (light vs. dark), the background instantly communicates trend strength and direction—so you always know whether to favor breakout-style entries (in a strong trend) or stay flat during choppy, low-ADX conditions.

HMM Regime IndicatorHMM Regime Indicator
Overview:
The HMM Regime Indicator is designed to help traders identify market regimes by analyzing trend strength, momentum, and price deviation. It uses a combination of the Average Directional Index (ADX), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) to classify market conditions into three distinct regimes: Bullish, Bearish, and Sideways.
Key Features:
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures the strength of a trend. A high ADX value indicates a strong trend, while a low value suggests a weak or non-existent trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Identifies overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI above 70 typically indicates overbought conditions, while an RSI below 30 suggests oversold conditions.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Evaluates the price deviation from its average. High CCI values indicate that prices are well above their average, while low values suggest prices are below their average.
Regime Detection:
Bullish Regime: Identified when the ADX indicates a strong trend, and both RSI and CCI suggest overbought conditions. This regime is marked with a green background on the chart.
Bearish Regime: Detected when the ADX shows a strong trend, and both RSI and CCI indicate oversold conditions. This regime is highlighted with a red background.
Sideways Regime: Occurs when neither bullish nor bearish conditions are met, suggesting a lack of strong directional movement. This regime is shown with a blue background.
Usage:
This indicator is useful for traders looking to understand the current market environment and adjust their strategies accordingly. By identifying the prevailing market regime, traders can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Customization:
Users can adjust the input parameters for ADX, RSI, and CCI to better fit their trading style and the specific asset being analyzed. The default settings are optimized for general use but can be tailored to suit individual preferences.
Rate of Change RSIIndicator Name: Rate of Change RSI
Description:
The Rate of Change (ROC) of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator designed to provide insights into the momentum of an asset's price movement. It combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a popular momentum oscillator, with the Rate of Change (ROC) concept to assess the speed at which RSI values are changing.
How It Works:
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in an asset. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 70 typically indicating overbought conditions and readings below 30 indicating oversold conditions.
Rate of Change (ROC): The ROC calculates the percentage change in a given indicator over a specified period. In this indicator, we apply the ROC to the RSI values to determine how quickly the RSI is changing over time.
Key Features:
Acceleration and Deceleration: The ROC of RSI helps traders identify whether the momentum of the RSI is accelerating or decelerating. Positive values suggest increasing momentum, while negative values indicate decreasing momentum.
Dynamic Color Change: The color of the ROC RSI line changes dynamically based on the RSI level. When the RSI is between 0 and 40, the line color is blue, indicating potential oversold conditions. When the RSI is between 40 and 60, the line color is yellow, suggesting neutral conditions. When the RSI is above 60, the line color changes to green, indicating potential overbought conditions.
How to Use:
Acceleration: When the ROC RSI is positive and increasing while the RSI is above 60 (green), it may signal strong upward momentum.
Deceleration: Conversely, if the ROC RSI is negative and decreasing while the RSI is below 40 (blue), it may indicate weakening downward momentum.
Originality and Usefulness:
This indicator combines the RSI, a well-known momentum oscillator, with the ROC concept to provide a unique perspective on momentum dynamics. By dynamically adjusting the color of the ROC RSI line based on RSI levels, traders can quickly assess potential overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Chart:
The chart displayed alongside this script provides a clean and easy-to-understand visualization of the ROC RSI indicator. The ROC RSI line color changes dynamically based on RSI levels, allowing traders to visually identify potential market conditions at a glance.

Adapted RSI w/ Multi-Asset Regime Detection v1.1The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of an asset's recent price changes to detect overbought or oversold conditions in the price of said asset.
In addition to identifying overbought and oversold assets, the RSI can also indicate whether your desired asset may be primed for a trend reversal or a corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell.
The RSI will oscillate between 0 and 100. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought condition. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.
The RSI is one of the most popular technical indicators. I intend to offer a fresh spin.
Adapted RSI w/ Multi-Asset Regime Detection
Our Adapted RSI makes necessary improvements to the original Relative Strength Index (RSI) by combining multi-timeframe analysis with multi-asset monitoring and providing traders with an efficient way to analyse market-wide conditions across different timeframes and assets simultaneously. The indicator automatically detects market regimes and generates clear signals based on RSI levels, presenting this data in an organised, easy-to-read format through two dynamic tables. Simplicity is key, and having access to more RSI data at any given time, allows traders to prepare more effectively, especially when trading markets that "move" together.
How we calculate the RSI
First, the RSI identifies price changes between periods, calculating gains and losses from one look-back period to the next. This look-back period averages gains and losses over 14 periods, which in this case would be 14 days, and those gains/losses are calculated based on the daily closing price. For example:
Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 days / 14
Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 days / 14
Then we calculate the Relative Strength (RS):
RS = Average Gain / Average Loss
Finally, this is converted to the RSI value:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Key Features
Our multi-timeframe RSI indicator enhances traditional technical analysis by offering synchronised Daily, Weekly, and Monthly RSI readings with automatic regime detection. The multi-asset monitoring system allows tracking of up to 10 different assets simultaneously, with pre-configured major pairs that can be customised to any asset selection. The signal generation system provides clear market guidance through automatic regime detection and a five-level signal system, all presented through a sophisticated visual interface with dynamic RSI line colouring and customisable display options.
Quick Guide to Use it
Begin by adding the indicator to your chart and configuring your preferred assets in the "Asset Comparison" settings.
Position the two information tables according to your preference.
The main table displays RSI analysis across three timeframes for your current asset, while the asset table shows a comparative analysis of all monitored assets.
Signals are colour-coded for instant recognition, with green indicating bullish conditions and red for bearish conditions. Pay special attention to regime changes and signal transitions, using multi-timeframe confluence to identify stronger signals.
How it Works (Regime Detection & Signals)
When we say 'Regime', a regime is determined by a persistent trend or in this case momentum and by leveraging this for RSI, which is a momentum oscillator, our indicator employs a relatively simple regime detection system that classifies market conditions as either Bullish (RSI > 50) or Bearish (RSI < 50). Our benchmark between a trending bullish or bearish market is equal to 50. By leveraging a simple classification system helps determine the probability of trend continuation and the weight given to various signals. Whilst we could determine a Neutral regime for consolidating markets, we have employed a 'neutral' signal generation which will be further discussed below...
Signal generation occurs across five distinct levels:
Strong Buy (RSI < 15)
Buy (RSI < 30)
Neutral (RSI 30-70)
Sell (RSI > 70)
Strong Sell (RSI > 85)
Each level represents different market conditions and probability scenarios. For instance, extreme readings (Strong Buy/Sell) indicate the highest probability of mean reversion, while neutral readings suggest equilibrium conditions where traders should focus on the overall regime bias (Bullish/Bearish momentum).
This approach offers traders a new and fresh spin on a popular and well-known tool in technical analysis, allowing traders to make better and more informed decisions from the well presented information across multiple assets and timeframes. Experienced and beginner traders alike, I hope you enjoy this adaptation.

Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator### **Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator (TFT) - In-Depth Explanation**
#### **Overview**
The **Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator (TFT)** is a sophisticated trading tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market trends across multiple timeframes, combined with a sentiment gauge through the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator offers a unique blend of performance analysis, sentiment evaluation, and visual signal generation, making it an invaluable resource for traders who seek to understand both the macro and micro trends within a financial instrument.
#### **Purpose**
The primary purpose of the TFT indicator is to empower traders with the ability to assess the performance of an asset over various timeframes while simultaneously gauging market sentiment through the RSI. By analyzing price changes over periods ranging from one week to one year, and complementing this with sentiment signals, TFT enables traders to make informed decisions based on a well-rounded analysis of historical price performance and current market conditions.
#### **Key Components and Features**
1. **Multi-Timeframe Performance Analysis:**
- **Performance Lookback Periods:**
- The TFT indicator calculates the percentage price change over several predefined timeframes: 7 days (1 week), 14 days (2 weeks), 30 days (1 month), 180 days (6 months), and 365 days (1 year). These timeframes provide a layered view of how an asset has performed over short, medium, and long-term periods.
- **Percentage Change Calculation:**
- The indicator computes the percentage change for each timeframe by comparing the current closing price to the closing price at the start of each period. This gives traders insight into the strength and direction of the trend over different periods, helping them identify consistent trends or potential reversals.
2. **Sentiment Analysis Using RSI:**
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):**
- RSI is a widely-used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between 0 and 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. In TFT, the RSI is calculated using a 14-period lookback, which is standard for most RSI implementations.
- **RSI Smoothing with EMA:**
- To refine the RSI signal and reduce noise, TFT applies a 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the RSI values. This smoothed RSI is then used to generate buy, sell, and neutral signals based on its position relative to the 50 level:
- **Buy Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses above 50, indicating bullish sentiment.
- **Sell Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses below 50, indicating bearish sentiment.
- **Neutral Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI equals 50, suggesting indecision or a balanced market.
3. **Visual Signal Generation:**
- **Signal Plots:**
- TFT provides clear visual cues directly on the price chart by plotting shapes at the points where buy, sell, or neutral signals are generated. These shapes are color-coded (green for buy, red for sell, yellow for neutral) and are positioned below or above the price bars for easy identification.
- **First Occurrence Trigger:**
- To avoid clutter and focus on significant market shifts, TFT only triggers the first occurrence of each signal type. This feature helps traders concentrate on the most relevant signals without being overwhelmed by repeated alerts.
4. **Customizable Performance & Sentiment Table:**
- **Table Display:**
- The TFT indicator includes a customizable table that displays the calculated percentage changes for each timeframe. This table is positioned on the chart according to user preference (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) and provides a quick reference to the asset’s performance across multiple periods.
- **Dynamic Text Color:**
- To enhance readability and provide immediate visual feedback, the text color in the table changes based on the direction of the percentage change: green for positive (upward movement) and red for negative (downward movement). This color-coding helps traders quickly assess whether the asset is in an uptrend or downtrend for each period.
- **Customizable Font Size:**
- Traders can adjust the font size of the table to fit their chart layout and personal preferences, ensuring that the information is accessible without being intrusive.
5. **Flexibility and Customization:**
- **Lookback Period Customization:**
- While the default lookback periods are set for common trading intervals (7 days, 14 days, etc.), these can be adjusted to match different trading strategies or market conditions. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to focus on the timeframes most relevant to their analysis.
- **RSI and EMA Settings:**
- The length of the RSI calculation and the smoothing EMA can also be customized. This is particularly useful for traders who prefer shorter or longer periods for their momentum analysis, allowing them to fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator.
- **Table Position and Appearance:**
- The table’s position on the chart, along with its font size and colors, is fully customizable. This ensures that the indicator can be integrated seamlessly into any chart setup without obstructing key price data.
#### **Use Cases and Applications**
1. **Trend Identification and Confirmation:**
- **Short-Term Traders:**
- Traders focused on short-term movements can use the 7-day and 14-day performance metrics to identify recent trends and momentum shifts. The RSI signals provide additional confirmation, helping traders enter or exit positions based on the latest market sentiment.
- **Swing Traders:**
- For those holding positions over days to weeks, the 30-day and 180-day performance data are particularly useful. These metrics highlight medium-term trends, and when combined with RSI signals, they provide a robust framework for swing trading strategies.
- **Long-Term Investors:**
- Long-term investors can benefit from the 1-year performance data to gauge the overall health and direction of an asset. The indicator’s ability to track performance across different periods helps in identifying long-term trends and potential reversal points.
2. **Sentiment Analysis and Market Timing:**
- **Market Sentiment Tracking:**
- By using RSI in conjunction with performance metrics, TFT provides a clear picture of market sentiment. Traders can use this information to time their entries and exits more effectively, aligning their trades with periods of strong bullish or bearish sentiment.
- **Avoiding False Signals:**
- The smoothing of RSI helps reduce noise and avoid false signals that are common in volatile markets. This makes the TFT indicator a reliable tool for identifying true market trends and avoiding whipsaws that can lead to losses.
3. **Comprehensive Market Analysis:**
- **Multi-Timeframe Analysis:**
- TFT’s ability to analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously makes it an excellent tool for comprehensive market analysis. Traders can compare short-term and long-term performance to understand the broader market context, making it easier to align their trading strategies with the overall trend.
- **Performance Benchmarking:**
- The percentage change metrics provide a clear benchmark for an asset’s performance over time. This information can be used to compare the asset against broader market indices or other assets, helping traders make more informed decisions about where to allocate their capital.
4. **Custom Strategy Development:**
- **Tailoring to Specific Markets:**
- TFT can be customized to suit different markets, whether it’s stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies. For instance, traders in volatile markets may opt for shorter lookback periods and more sensitive RSI settings, while those in stable markets may prefer longer periods for a smoother analysis.
- **Integrating with Other Indicators:**
- TFT can be used alongside other technical indicators to create a more comprehensive trading strategy. For example, combining TFT with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or MACD can provide additional layers of confirmation and reduce the likelihood of false signals.
#### **Best Practices for Using TFT**
- **Regularly Adjust Lookback Periods:**
- Depending on the market conditions and the asset being traded, it’s important to regularly review and adjust the lookback periods for the performance metrics. This ensures that the indicator remains relevant and responsive to current market trends.
- **Combine with Volume Analysis:**
- While TFT provides a solid foundation for trend and sentiment analysis, combining it with volume indicators can further enhance its effectiveness. Volume can confirm the strength of a trend or signal potential reversals when divergences occur.
- **Use RSI with Other Momentum Indicators:**
- Although RSI is a powerful tool on its own, using it alongside other momentum indicators like Stochastic Oscillator or MACD can provide additional confirmation and help refine entry and exit points.
- **Customize Table Settings for Clarity:**
- Ensure that the performance table is positioned and sized appropriately on the chart. It should be easily readable without obstructing important price data. Adjust the text size and colors as needed to maintain clarity.
- **Monitor Multiple Timeframes:**
- Utilize the multi-timeframe analysis feature of TFT to monitor trends across different periods. This helps in identifying the dominant trend and avoiding trades that go against the broader market direction.

Advanced VWAP_Pullback Strategy_Trend-Template QualifierGeneral Description and Unique Features of this Script
Introducing the Advanced VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy (long-only) that offers several unique features:
1. Our script/strategy utilizes Mark Minervini's Trend-Template as a qualifier for identifying stocks and other financial securities in confirmed uptrends. Mark Minervini, a 2x US Investment Champion, developed the Trend-Template, which covers eight different and independent characteristics that can be adjusted and optimized in this trend-following strategy to ensure the best results. The strategy will only trigger buy-signals in case the optimized qualifiers are being met.
2. Our strategy is based on the supply/demand balance in the market, making it timeless and effective across all timeframes. Whether you are day trading using 1- or 5-min charts or swing-trading using daily charts, this strategy can be applied and works very well.
3. We have also integrated technical indicators such as the RSI and the MA / VWAP crossover into this strategy to identify low-risk pullback entries in the context of confirmed uptrends. By doing so, the risk profile of this strategy and drawdowns are being reduced to an absolute minimum.
Minervini’s Trend-Template and the ‘Stage-Analysis’ of the Markets
This strategy is a so-called 'long-only' strategy. This means that we only take long positions, short positions are not considered.
The best market environment for such strategies are periods of stable upward trends in the so-called stage 2 - uptrend.
In stable upward trends, we increase our market exposure and risk.
In sideways markets and downward trends or bear markets, we reduce our exposure very quickly or go 100% to cash and wait for the markets to recover and improve. This allows us to avoid major losses and drawdowns.
This simple rule gives us a significant advantage over most undisciplined traders and amateurs!
'The Trend is your Friend'. This is a very old but true quote.
What's behind it???
• 98% of stocks made their biggest gains in a Phase 2 upward trend.
• If a stock is in a stable uptrend, this is evidence that larger institutions are buying the stock sustainably.
• By focusing on stocks that are in a stable uptrend, the chances of profit are significantly increased.
• In a stable uptrend, investors know exactly what to expect from further price developments. This makes it possible to locate low-risk entry points.
The goal is not to buy at the lowest price – the goal is to buy at the right price!
Each stock goes through the same maturity cycle – it starts at stage 1 and ends at stage 4
Stage 1 – Neglect Phase – Consolidation
Stage 2 – Progressive Phase – Accumulation
Stage 3 – Topping Phase – Distribution
Stage 4 – Downtrend – Capitulation
This strategy focuses on identifying stocks in confirmed stage 2 uptrends. This in itself gives us an advantage over long-term investors and less professional traders.
By focusing on stocks in a stage 2 uptrend, we avoid losses in downtrends (stage 4) or less profitable consolidation phases (stages 1 and 3). We are fully invested and put our money to work for us, and we are fully invested when stocks are in their stage 2 uptrends.
But how can we use technical chart analysis to find stocks that are in a stable stage 2 uptrend?
Mark Minervini has developed the so-called 'trend template' for this purpose. This is an essential part of our JS-TechTrading pullback strategy. For our watchlists, only those individual values that meet the tough requirements of Minervini's trend template are eligible.
The Trend Template
• 200d MA increasing over a period of at least 1 month, better 4-5 months or longer
• 150d MA above 200d MA
• 50d MA above 150d MA and 200d MA
• Course above 50d MA, 150d MA and 200d MA
• Ideally, the 50d MA is increasing over at least 1 month
• Price at least 25% above the 52w low
• Price within 25% of 52w high
• High relative strength according to IBD.
NOTE: In this basic version of the script, the Trend-Template has to be used as a separate indicator on TradingView (Public Trend-Template indicators are available in TradingView – community scripts). It is recommended to only execute buy signals in case the stock or financial security is in a stage 2 uptrend, which means that the criteria of the trend-template are fulfilled.
This strategy can be applied to all timeframes from 5 min to daily.
The VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy
For the JS-TechTrading VWAP Momentum-Pullback Strategy, only stocks and other financial instruments that meet the selected criteria of Mark Minervini's trend template are recommended for algorithmic trading with this startegy.
A further prerequisite for generating a buy signals is that the individual value is in a short-term oversold state (RSI).
When the selling pressure is over and the continuation of the uptrend can be confirmed by the MA / VWAP crossover after reaching a price low, a buy signal is issued by this strategy.
Stop-loss limits and profit targets can be set variably. You also have the option to make use of the trailing stop exit strategy.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a technical indicator developed by Welles Wilder in 1978. The RSI is used to perform a market value analysis and identify the strength of a trend as well as overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100 and shows how much an asset has risen or fallen relative to its own price in recent periods.
The RSI is calculated as the ratio of average profits to average losses over a certain period of time. A high value of the RSI indicates an overbought situation, while a low value indicates an oversold situation. Typically, a value > 70 is considered an overbought threshold and a value < 30 is considered an oversold threshold. A value above 70 signals that a single value may be overvalued and a decrease in price is likely , while a value below 30 signals that a single value may be undervalued and an increase in price is likely.
For example, let's say you're watching a stock XYZ. After a prolonged falling movement, the RSI value of this stock has fallen to 26. This means that the stock is oversold and that it is time for a potential recovery. Therefore, a trader might decide to buy this stock in the hope that it will rise again soon.
The MA / VWAP Crossover Trading Strategy
This strategy combines two popular technical indicators: the Moving Average (MA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). The MA VWAP crossover strategy is used to identify potential trend reversals and entry/exit points in the market.
The VWAP is calculated by taking the average price of an asset for a given period, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. The MA, on the other hand, is calculated by taking the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. When the MA crosses above the VWAP, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to enter a long position. When the MA crosses below the VWAP, it suggests that selling pressure is increasing, and it may be a good time to exit a long position or enter a short position.
Traders typically use the MA VWAP crossover strategy in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to make more informed trading decisions. As with any trading strategy, it is important to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before making any trades.
This strategy is applicable to all timeframes and the relevant parameters for the underlying indicators (RSI and MA/VWAP) can be adjusted and optimized as needed.
Backtesting
Backtesting gives outstanding results on all timeframes and drawdowns can be reduced to a minimum level. In this example, the hourly chart for MCFT has been used.
Settings for backtesting are:
- Period from Jan 2020 until March 2023
- Starting capital 100k USD
- Position size = 25% of equity
- 0.01% commission = USD 2.50.- per Trade
- Slippage = 2 ticks
Other comments
- 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 Trend-Template and the RSI 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.

What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman's adaptive moving average (KAMA) and Tushar Chande's variable index dynamic average (VIDYA) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index (RSI), commodity channel index (CCI), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."
What is this Hilbert Transformer?
An analytic signal allows for time-variable parameters and is a generalization of the phasor concept, which is restricted to time-invariant amplitude, phase, and frequency. The analytic representation of a real-valued function or signal facilitates many mathematical manipulations of the signal. For example, computing the phase of a signal or the power in the wave is much simpler using analytic signals.
The Hilbert transformer is the technique to create an analytic signal from a real one. The conventional Hilbert transformer is theoretically an infinite-length FIR filter. Even when the filter length is truncated to a useful but finite length, the induced lag is far too large to make the transformer useful for trading.
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, pages 186-187:
"I want to emphasize that the only reason for including this section is for completeness. Unless you are interested in research, I suggest you skip this section entirely. To further emphasize my point, do not use the code for trading. A vastly superior approach to compute the dominant cycle in the price data is the autocorrelation periodogram. The code is included because the reader may be able to capitalize on the algorithms in a way that I do not see. All the algorithms encapsulated in the code operate reasonably well on theoretical waveforms that have no noise component. My conjecture at this time is that the sample-to-sample noise simply swamps the computation of the rate change of phase, and therefore the resulting calculations to find the dominant cycle are basically worthless.The imaginary component of the Hilbert transformer cannot be smoothed as was done in the Hilbert transformer indicator because the smoothing destroys the orthogonality of the imaginary component."
What is the Dual Differentiator, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 187:
"The first algorithm to compute the dominant cycle is called the dual differentiator. In this case, the phase angle is computed from the analytic signal as the arctangent of the ratio of the imaginary component to the real component. Further, the angular frequency is defined as the rate change of phase. We can use these facts to derive the cycle period."
What is the Phase Accumulation, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 189:
"The next algorithm to compute the dominant cycle is the phase accumulation method. The phase accumulation method of computing the dominant cycle is perhaps the easiest to comprehend. In this technique, we measure the phase at each sample by taking the arctangent of the ratio of the quadrature component to the in-phase component. A delta phase is generated by taking the difference of the phase between successive samples. At each sample we can then look backwards, adding up the delta phases.When the sum of the delta phases reaches 360 degrees, we must have passed through one full cycle, on average.The process is repeated for each new sample.
The phase accumulation method of cycle measurement always uses one full cycle's worth of historical data.This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.The advantage is the lag in obtaining the answer scales directly with the cycle period.That is, the measurement of a short cycle period has less lag than the measurement of a longer cycle period. However, the number of samples used in making the measurement means the averaging period is variable with cycle period. longer averaging reduces the noise level compared to the signal.Therefore, shorter cycle periods necessarily have a higher out- put signal-to-noise ratio."
What is the Homodyne, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 192:
"The third algorithm for computing the dominant cycle is the homodyne approach. Homodyne means the signal is multiplied by itself. More precisely, we want to multiply the signal of the current bar with the complex value of the signal one bar ago. The complex conjugate is, by definition, a complex number whose sign of the imaginary component has been reversed."
What is the Instantaneous Cycle?
The Instantaneous Cycle Period Measurement was authored by John Ehlers; it is built upon his Hilbert Transform Indicator.
From his Ehlers' book Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures: Cutting-Edge DSP Technology to Improve Your Trading by John F. Ehlers, 2004, page 107:
"It is obvious that cycles exist in the market. They can be found on any chart by the most casual observer. What is not so clear is how to identify those cycles in real time and how to take advantage of their existence. When Welles Wilder first introduced the relative strength index (rsi), I was curious as to why he selected 14 bars as the basis of his calculations. I reasoned that if i knew the correct market conditions, then i could make indicators such as the rsi adaptive to those conditions. Cycles were the answer. I knew cycles could be measured. Once i had the cyclic measurement, a host of automatically adaptive indicators could follow.
Measurement of market cycles is not easy. The signal-to-noise ratio is often very low, making measurement difficult even using a good measurement technique. Additionally, the measurements theoretically involve simultaneously solving a triple infinity of parameter values. The parameters required for the general solutions were frequency, amplitude, and phase. Some standard engineering tools, like fast fourier transforms (ffs), are simply not appropriate for measuring market cycles because ffts cannot simultaneously meet the stationarity constraints and produce results with reasonable resolution. Therefore i introduced maximum entropy spectral analysis (mesa) for the measurement of market cycles. This approach, originally developed to interpret seismographic information for oil exploration, produces high-resolution outputs with an exceptionally short amount of information. A short data length improves the probability of having nearly stationary data. Stationary data means that frequency and amplitude are constant over the length of the data. I noticed over the years that the cycles were ephemeral. Their periods would be continuously increasing and decreasing. Their amplitudes also were changing, giving variable signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Although all this is going on with the cyclic components, the enduring characteristic is that generally only one tradable cycle at a time is present for the data set being used. I prefer the term dominant cycle to denote that one component. The assumption that there is only one cycle in the data collapses the difficulty of the measurement process dramatically."
What is the Band-pass Cycle?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 47:
"Perhaps the least appreciated and most underutilized filter in technical analysis is the band-pass filter. The band-pass filter simultaneously diminishes the amplitude at low frequencies, qualifying it as a detrender, and diminishes the amplitude at high frequencies, qualifying it as a data smoother. It passes only those frequency components from input to output in which the trader is interested. The filtering produced by a band-pass filter is superior because the rejection in the stop bands is related to its bandwidth. The degree of rejection of undesired frequency components is called selectivity. The band-stop filter is the dual of the band-pass filter. It rejects a band of frequency components as a notch at the output and passes all other frequency components virtually unattenuated. Since the bandwidth of the deep rejection in the notch is relatively narrow and since the spectrum of market cycles is relatively broad due to systemic noise, the band-stop filter has little application in trading."
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 59:
"The band-pass filter can be used as a relatively simple measurement of the dominant cycle. A cycle is complete when the waveform crosses zero two times from the last zero crossing. Therefore, each successive zero crossing of the indicator marks a half cycle period. We can establish the dominant cycle period as twice the spacing between successive zero crossings."
What is Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB)?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.
What is VHF Adaptive Cycle?
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX DI. Vertical Horizontal Filter does not, itself, generate trading signals, but determines whether signals are taken from trend or momentum indicators. Using this trend information, one is then able to derive an average cycle length.
Cyclic Smoothed RSI with Motive-Corrective Wave Indicator
This indicator uses the cyclic smoothed Relative Strength Index (cRSI) instead of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). See below for more info on the benefits to the cRSI.
My key contributions
1) A Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to track the general trend of the cRSI signal. This is very helpful in determining when the equity switches from bullish to bearish, which can be used to determine buy/sell points. This is then is used to color the region between the upper and lower cRSI bands (green above, red below).
2) An attempt to detect the motive (impulse) and corrective and waves. Corrective waves are indicated A, B, C, D, E, F, G. F and G waves are not technically Elliot Waves, but the way I detect waves it is really hard to always get it right. Once and a while you could actually see G and F a second time. Motive waves are identified as s (strong) and w (weak). Strong waves have a peak above the cRSI upper band and weak waves have a peak below the upper band.
3) My own divergence indicator for bull, hidden bull, bear, and hidden bear. I was not able to replicate the TradingView style of drawing a line from peak to peak, but for this indicator I think in the end it makes the chart cleaner.
There is a latency issue with an indicator that is based on moving averages. That means they tend to trigger right after key events. Perfect timing is not possible strictly with these indicators, but they do work very well "on average." However, my implementation has minimal latency as peaks (tops/bottoms) only require one bar to detect.
As a bit of an Easter Egg, this code can be tweaked and run as a strategy to get buy/sell signals. I use this code for both my indicator and for trading strategy. Just copy and past it into a new strategy script and just change it from study to a strategy, something like this:
strategy("cRSI + Waves Strategy with VWMA overlay", overlay=overlay)
The buy/sell code is at the end and just needs to be uncommented. I make no promises or guarantees about how good it is as a strategy, but it gives you some code and ideas to work with.
Tuning
1) Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA): This is a “hidden strategy” feature implemented that will display the high-low bands of the VWMA on the price chart if run the code using “overlay = true”.
- If the equity does not have volume, then the VWMA will not show up. Uncheck this box and it will use the regular WMA (no volume).
- defines how far back the WMA averages price.
2) cRSI (Black line in the indicator)
- Increase to length that amount of time a band (upper/lower) stays high/low after a peak. Reduce the value to shorten the time. Just increment it up/down to see the effect.
- defines how far back the SMA averages the cRSI. This affects the purple line in the indicator.
- defines how many bars back the peak detector looks to determine if a peak has occurred. For example, a top is detected like this: current-bar down relative to the 1-bar-back, 1-bar-back up relative to 2-bars-back (look back = 1), c) 2-bars-back up relative to 3-bars-back (lookback = 2), and d) 3-bars-back up relative to 4-bars-back (lookback = 3). I hope that makes sense. There are only 2 options for this setting: 2 or 3 bars. 2 bars will be able to detect small peaks but create more “false” peaks that may not be meaningful. 3 bars will be more robust but can miss short duration peaks.
3) Waves
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
4) Divergence Indicators
- The check boxes are self explanatory for which labels they turn on and off on the plot.
Hints
- The most common parameter to change is the . Different stocks will have different levels of strength in their peaks. A setting of 2 may generate too many corrective waves.
- Different times scales will give you different wave counts. This is to be expected. A counter impulse wave inside a corrective wave may actually go above the cRSI WMA on a smaller time frame. You may need to increase it one or two levels to see large waves.
- Just because you see divergence (bear or hidden bear) does not mean a price is going to go down. Often price continues to rise through bears, so take note and that is normal. Bulls are usually pretty good indicators especially if you see them on C,E,G waves.

cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The “core” code for the cyclic smoothed RSI (cRSI) indicator was written by Lars von Theinen and is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at mozilla.org Copyright (C) 2017 CC BY, whentotrade / Lars von Thienen. For more details on the cRSI Indicator:
The cyclic smoothed RSI indicator is an enhancement of the classic RSI, adding
1) additional smoothing according to the market vibration,
2) adaptive upper and lower bands according to the cyclic memory and
3) using the current dominant cycle length as input for the indicator.
It is much more responsive to market moves than the basic RSI. The indicator uses the dominant cycle as input to optimize signal, smoothing, and cyclic memory. To get more in-depth information on the cyclic-smoothed RSI indicator, please read Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm - Part 1: Dynamic Cycles (2017), Chapter 4: "Fine-tuning technical indicators." You need to derive the dominant cycle as input parameter for the cycle length as described in chapter 4.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Relative Strength of Volume Indicators by DGTThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) , developed by J. Welles Wilder, is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
• Traditionally the RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price, and oversold or undervalued condition when below 30. During strong trends, the RSI may remain in overbought or oversold for extended periods.
• Signals can be generated by looking for divergences and failure swings. If underlying prices make a new high or low that isn't confirmed by the RSI, this divergence can signal a price reversal. If the RSI makes a lower high and then follows with a downside move below a previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred. If the RSI makes a higher low and then follows with an upside move above a previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred
• RSI can also be used to identify the general trend. In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range with the 40-50 zone acting as support. During a downtrend or bear market the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance
This study aim to implement Relative Strength concept on most common Volume indicators, such as
• Accumulation Distribution is a volume based indicator designed to measure underlying supply and demand
• Elder's Force Index (EFI) measures the power behind a price movement using price and volume
• Money Flow Index (MFI) measures buying and selling pressure through analyzing both price and volume (used as it is)
• On Balance Volume (OBV) , created by Joe Granville, is a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow
• Price Volume Trend (PVT) is a momentum based indicator used to measure money flow
Plotting will be performed for regular RSI and RSI of Volume indicator (RSI(VOLX)) selected from the dialog box, where the possibility to apply smoothing is provided as option. Additionally, labels can be added optionally to display the value and name of selected volume indicator
Secondly, ability to present Volume Histogram within the same study along with its Moving Average or Volume Oscillator based on selection
Finally, Volume Based Colored Bars , a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç is added to emphasis volume changes on top of the bars
Nothing excessively new, the study combines RSI with;
- RSI concept applied to some of the common Volume indicators presented with a highlighted over/under valued threshold area, optional labeling and smoothing,
- added Volume data with additional information and
- colored bars based on volume

T-Virus Sentiment [hapharmonic]🧬 T-Virus Sentiment: Visualize the Market's DNA
Remember the iconic T-Virus vial from the first Resident Evil? That powerful, swirling helix of potential has always fascinated me. It sparked an idea: what if we could visualize the market's underlying health in a similar way? What if we could capture the "genetic code" of market sentiment and contain it within a dynamic, 3D indicator? This project is the result of that idea, brought to life with Pine Script.
The indicator's main goal is to measure the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing the "genetic code" of price action through a variety of trusted indicators. The result is displayed as a liquid level within a DNA helix, a bubble density representing buying pressure, and a T-Virus mascot that reflects the overall mood.
🧐 Core Concept: How It Works
The primary output of the indicator is the "Active %" gauge you see on the right side of the vial. This percentage represents the overall sentiment score, calculated as an average from 7 different technical analysis tools. Each tool is analyzed on every bar and assigned a score from 1 (strong bearish pressure) to 5 (strong bullish potential).
In this indicator, we re-imagine market dynamics through the lens of a viral outbreak. A strong bear market is like a virus taking hold, pulling all technical signals down into a state of weakness. Conversely, a powerful bull market is like an antiviral serum ; positive signals rise and spread toward the top of the vial, indicating that the system is being injected with strength.
This is not just another line on a chart. It's a comprehensive sentiment dashboard designed to give an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the confluence between 7 classic technical indicators. The incredible 3D model of the vial itself was inspired by a design concept found here .
⚛️ The 4 Core Elements of T-Virus Sentiment
These four elements work in harmony to give a complete, multi-faceted picture of market sentiment. Each component tells a different part of the story.
The Virus Mascot: An instant emotional cue. This character provides the quickest possible read on the overall market mood, combining sentiment with volume pressure.
The Antiviral Serum Level: The main quantitative output. This is the liquid level in the DNA helix and the percentage gauge on the right, representing the average sentiment score from all 7 indicators.
Buy Pressure & Bubble Density: This visualizes volume flow. The density of bubbles represents the intensity of accumulation (buying) versus distribution (selling). It's the "power" behind the move.
The Signal Distribution: This shows the confluence (or dispersion) of sentiment. Are all signals bullish and clustered at the top, or are they scattered, indicating a conflicted market? The position of the indicator labels is crucial, as each is assigned to one of five distinct zones:
Base Bottom: The market is at its weakest. Signals here suggest strong bearish control and distribution.
Lower Zone: The market is still bearish, but signals may be showing early signs of accumulation or bottoming.
Neutral Core (Center): A state of balance or sideways consolidation. The market is waiting for a new direction.
Upper Zone: Bullish momentum is becoming clear. Signals are strengthening and showing bullish control.
Top Cap: The market is "heating up" with strong bullish sentiment, potentially nearing overbought conditions.
🐂🐻 The Virus Mascot: The At-a-Glance Indicator
This character acts as a shortcut to confirm market health. It combines the sentiment score with volume, preventing false confidence in a low-volume rally.
Its state is determined by a dual-check: the overall "Antiviral Serum Level" and the "Buy Pressure" must both be above 50%.
Green & Smiling: The 'all clear' signal. This means that not only is the overall technical sentiment bullish, but it's also being supported by real buying pressure. This is a sign of a healthy bull market.
Red & Angry: A warning sign. This appears if either the sentiment is weak, or a bullish sentiment is not being confirmed by buying volume. The latter could indicate a potential "bull trap" or an exhaustive move.
This mascot can be disabled from the settings page under "Virus Mascot Styling" if a cleaner look is preferred.
🫧 Bubble Density: Gauging Buy vs. Sell Pressure
The bubbles visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. There are two modes to control how this is calculated:
Mode 1: Visible Range (The 'Big Picture' View)
This default mode is best for getting a broad, contextual understanding of the current session. It dynamically analyzes the volume of every single candlestick currently visible on the screen to calculate the buy/sell pressure ratio. It answers the question: "Over the entire period I'm looking at, who is in control?" As you zoom in or out, the calculation adapts.
Mode 2: Custom Lookback (The 'Precision' View)
This mode is for traders who need to analyze short-term pressure. You can define a fixed number of recent bars to analyze, which is perfect for scalping or understanding the volume dynamics leading into a key level. It answers the question: "What is happening right now ?" In the example above, a lookback of 2 focuses only on the most recent action, clearly showing intense, immediate selling pressure (few bubbles) and a corresponding drop in the sentiment score to 29%.
ℹ️ Interactive Tooltips: Dive Deeper
We believe in transparency, not 'black box' indicators. This feature transforms the indicator from a visual aid into an active learning tool.
Simply hover the mouse over any indicator label (like EMA, OBV, etc.) to get a detailed tooltip. It will explain the specific data points and thresholds that signal met to be placed in its current zone. This helps build trust in the signals and allows users to fine-tune the indicator settings to better match their own trading style.
🎯 The Scoring Logic Breakdown
The "Antiviral Serum Level" gauge is the average score from 7 technical analysis tools. Each is graded on a 5-point scale (1=Strong Bearish to 5=Strong Bullish). Here’s a detailed, transparent look at how each "gene" is evaluated:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Measures momentum and overbought/oversold conditions.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): RSI > 80 (Extreme Overbought)
Group 2 (Bearish): 70 < RSI ≤ 80 (Overbought)
Group 3 (Neutral): 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
Group 4 (Bullish): 20 ≤ RSI < 30 (Oversold)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): RSI < 20 (Extreme Oversold)
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Evaluates the trend's strength and structure based on the alignment of multiple EMAs (9, 21, 50, 100, 200, 250).
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): A perfect bearish sequence (9 < 21 < 50 < ...)
Group 2 (Bearish Transition): Early signs of a potential reversal (e.g., 9 > 21 but still below 50)
Group 3 (Neutral / Mixed): MAs are intertwined or showing a partial bullish sequence.
Group 4 (Bullish): A strong bullish sequence is forming (e.g., 9 > 21 > 50 > 100)
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): A perfect bullish sequence (9 > 21 > 50 > 100 > 200 > 250)
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
Analyzes the relationship between two moving averages to gauge momentum.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): MACD & Histogram are negative and momentum is falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): MACD is negative but the histogram is rising or positive.
Group 3 (Neutral / Crossover): A crossover event is occurring near the zero line.
Group 4 (Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): MACD & Histogram are positive, rising strongly, and accelerating.
Average Directional Index (ADX)
Measures trend strength, not direction. The score is based on both ADX value and the dominance of DI+ vs DI-.
Group 1 (Bearish / No Trend): ADX < 20 and DI- is dominant.
Group 2 (Developing Bearish Trend): 20 ≤ ADX < 25 and DI- is dominant.
Group 3 (Neutral / Indecision): Trend is weak or DI+ and DI- are nearly equal.
Group 4 (Developing Bullish Trend): 25 ≤ ADX ≤ 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish Trend): ADX > 40 and DI+ is dominant.
Ichimoku Cloud (IKH)
A comprehensive indicator that defines support/resistance, momentum, and trend direction.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the Kumo, Tenkan < Kijun, and Chikou is below price.
Group 2 (Bearish): Price is inside or below the Kumo, with mixed secondary signals.
Group 3 (Neutral / Ranging): Price is inside the Kumo, often with a Tenkan/Kijun cross.
Group 4 (Bullish): Price is above the Kumo with strong primary signals.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): All signals are aligned bullishly: price above Kumo, bullish Tenkan/Kijun cross, bullish future Kumo, and Chikou above price.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Measures volatility and relative price levels.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): Price is below the lower band.
Group 2 (Bearish Territory): Price is between the lower band and the basis line.
Group 3 (Neutral): Price is hovering around the basis line.
Group 4 (Bullish Territory): Price is between the basis line and the upper band.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): Price is above the upper band.
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Uses volume flow to predict price changes. The score is based on OBV's trend and its position relative to its moving average.
Group 1 (Strong Bearish): OBV is below its MA and falling.
Group 2 (Weakening Bearish): OBV is below its MA but showing signs of rising.
Group 3 (Neutral): OBV is very close to its MA.
Group 4 (Bullish): OBV is above its MA and rising.
Group 5 (Strong Bullish): OBV is above its MA, rising strongly, and showing signs of a volume spike.
🧭 How to Use the T-Virus Sentiment Indicator
IMPORTANT: This indicator is a sentiment dashboard , not a direct buy/sell signal generator. Its strength lies in showing confluence and providing a quick, holistic view of the market's technical health.
Confirmation Tool: Use the "Active %" gauge to confirm a trade setup from your primary strategy. For example, if you see a bullish chart pattern, a high and rising sentiment score can add confidence to your trade.
Momentum & Trend Gauge: A consistently high score (e.g., > 75%) suggests strong, established bullish momentum. A consistently low score (< 25%) suggests strong bearish control. A score hovering around 50% often indicates a ranging or indecisive market.
Divergence & Warning System: Pay attention to divergences. If the price is making new highs but the sentiment score is failing to follow or is actively decreasing, it could be an early warning sign that the underlying momentum is weakening.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
The indicator is highly customizable to fit any trading style.
Position & Anchor: Control where the vial appears on the chart.
Styling (Vial, Helix, etc.): Nearly every visual element can be color-customized.
Signals: This is where the real power is. All underlying indicator parameters (RSI length, MACD settings, etc.) can be fine-tuned to match a personal strategy. The text labels can also be disabled if the chart feels cluttered.

Global vs National Index Spread RSIThe Global vs National Index Spread RSI indicator visualizes the relative strength of national stock indices compared to a global benchmark (e.g., AMEX). It calculates the percentage spread between the closing prices of each national index and the global index, applying the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to each spread.
How It Works
Spread Calculation: The spread represents the percentage difference between a national index and the global index.
RSI Application: RSI is applied to these spreads to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the relative performance of the national indices.
Reference Lines: Overbought (70), oversold (30), and neutral (50) levels help guide interpretation.
Insights from Research
The correlation between global and national indices provides insights into market integration and interdependence. Studies such as Forbes & Rigobon (2002) emphasize the importance of understanding these linkages during periods of financial contagion. Observing spread trends with RSI can aid in identifying shifts in investor sentiment and regional performance anomalies.
Use Cases
- Detect divergences between national and global markets.
- Identify overbought or oversold conditions for specific indices.
- Complement portfolio management strategies by monitoring geographic performance.

Utility of Market Sentiment
The indicator aggregates signals from multiple technical indicators across various timeframes to compute an overall market sentiment score . This comprehensive approach helps traders understand the prevailing market conditions by:
Confirming Trends : Multiple indicators pointing in the same direction can confirm the strength of a trend.
Identifying Reversals : Divergences and fractals can signal potential turning points.
Timeframe Alignment : Aligning signals across different timeframes can enhance the probability of successful trades.
---
Divergences
Divergence occurs when the price of an asset moves in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, suggesting a potential reversal.
- Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low, but the indicator makes a higher low.
- Bearish Divergence : Price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
The indicator detects divergences for:
RSI
MACD
Stochastic Oscillator
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line)
By identifying these divergences, traders can spot early signs of trend reversals and adjust their strategies accordingly.
---
Trendlines
Trendlines are essential tools for identifying support and resistance levels. The indicator automatically draws trendlines based on pivot points:
- Upward Trendlines (Support) : Connect higher lows, indicating an uptrend.
- Downward Trendlines (Resistance) : Connect lower highs, indicating a downtrend.
These trendlines help traders visualize the trend direction and potential breakout or reversal points.
---
Super Trend Reversals (ST Reversal)
The core idea behind the Super Trend Reversals indicator is to assess the momentum of automated trading bots (often referred to as 'Supertrend bots') that enter the market during critical turning points. Specifically, the indicator is tuned to identify when the market is nearing bottoms or peaks, just before it shifts direction based on the triggered Supertrend signals. This approach helps traders:
Engage Early : Enter the market as reversal momentum builds up.
Optimize Entries and Exits : Enter under favorable conditions and exit before momentum wanes.
By capturing these reversal points, traders can enhance their trading performance.
---
Conclusion
The Swiss Knife indicator serves as a versatile tool that combines multiple technical analysis methods into a single, comprehensive indicator. By assessing various aspects of the market—including trend direction, momentum, volume, and price action—it provides traders with valuable insights to make informed trading decisions.
