Efficient Trend Step - Spotting Trends EfficientlyIntroduction
The trend-step indicator (or auto-line) was based on volatility and aimed to spot trends in an adaptive way, however the indicator was only based on volatility and didn't gave much attention to the trend, later on i would publish an efficient version of it (efficient auto-line) based on the efficiency ratio who could adapt to the trend and eliminate potential whipsaws trades, however this approach included many settings that would require changes if the user switched markets, which reduce the utility of the indicator and make it actually super inefficient.
This is why i had to propose this indicator who remove all the flaws the efficient auto-line had without removing the core idea of it.
The Indicator
The indicator is based on recursion, when the price is superior/inferior to the indicator precedent value +/- volatility metric, then the indicator is equal to the closing price, this allow the indicator to fit the price relatively well. The volatility metric used is based on 2 standard deviations, one fast and one slow and the efficiency ratio, basically when price is trending the volatility metric will be closer to the value of the fast standard deviations, which would allow the indicator to be closer to the price, else the metric will be closer to the slow standard deviation which restrain the indicator from changing, therefore the volatility metric act as a threshold.
length control the period of the efficiency ratio, lower values of length will result in a volatility metric way closer to the fast standard deviation thus making the indicator more inclined toward making false signals.
Lower values for slow will make the indicator more reactive.
The indicator can be reactive but can also be really conservative, thus even remaining unchanged in some contrary movements of the main trend, this is called robustness and has its pro's and con's.
Conclusion
The trend-step indicators family might get to an end, or not, nonetheless they can provide precise entries and be extremely robust, which is great. Using low settings might prove to be useful to remove some noise. I hope this version find its use amongst the community. Thanks for reading !

IV/HV ratio 1.0 [dime]This script compares the implied volatility to the historic volatility as a ratio.
The plot indicates how high the current implied volatility for the next 30 days is relative to the actual volatility realized over the set period. This is most useful for options traders as it may show when the premiums paid on options are over valued relative to the historic risk.
The default is set to one year (252 bars) however any number of bars can be set for the lookback period for HV.
The default is set to VIX for the IV on SPX or SPY but other CBOE implied volatility indexes may be used. For /CL you have OVX/HV and for /GC you have GVX/HV.
Note that the CBOE data for these indexes may be delayed and updated EOD
and may not be suitable for intraday information. (Future versions of this script may be developed to provide a realtime intraday study. )

Minervini Ultimate +VCPMinervini Ultimate Suite (SEPA Dashboard)
This indicator implements Mark Minervini's "Trend Template" criteria combined with a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) detector and a custom Relative Strength rating. It is designed to help traders visualize the technical health of a stock based on stage analysis concepts.
This indicator serves as a complete Control System (Dashboard) for Mark Minervini's SEPA trading strategy. Instead of manually checking five different metrics on every chart, this indicator performs the mathematical calculations and presents the "bottom line" in a single, organized table.
1. What This Indicator Does
The goal is to ensure you never enter a trade blindly. It verifies the stock against Minervini's strict requirements:
Trend: Is the stock in a healthy Stage 2 Uptrend?
Relative Strength: Is it stronger than the general market?
Buy Risk: Is it the right time to buy, or is the price extended?
Pressure: Are institutions accumulating or distributing?
VCP: Is there a breakout opportunity (volatility contraction) right now?
2. Key Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of drawing lines and calculating percentages manually, you get immediate visual feedback (Green/Red).
Discipline: The indicator will flag "Extended" (Red) if you attempt to buy a stock that has run up too much, saving you from late entries and unnecessary losses.
Precision Timing: The VCP feature (Blue Dots) helps you identify the "calm before the storm"—the exact moment volatility contracts, which often precedes a major breakout.
3. Indicator Parameters & Features
A. Minervini Pressure (Buying vs. Selling)
What it checks: Money flow over the last 20 days.
Calculation: Sums up volume on "Up Days" (Green) versus volume on "Down Days" (Red).
Meaning:
🟢 Buying: More money is entering than leaving. A sign of institutional accumulation.
🔴 Selling: Selling pressure dominates. The price may be rising, but without strong volume backing.
B. Buy Risk (Price Extension)
What it checks: The distance of the current price from the 50-Day Moving Average. Minervini strictly warns against "chasing" stocks.
Signals:
🟢 Low Risk: Price is within 0% – 15% of the 50MA. This is the ideal "Buy Zone".
🟡 Caution: Price is 15% – 25% away. Buy with increased caution.
🔴 Extended: Price is >25% from the MA. Do not buy. The probability of a pullback is high.
⚪ Broken: Price is below the 50MA. The short-term trend is damaged.
C. TPR - Trend Template (Trend Power Rating)
What it checks: Is the stock in a Stage 2 Uptrend?
Strict Rules (All must be true for a PASS):
Price > 50MA > 150MA > 200MA.
The 200MA is trending UP (positive slope).
Price is near the 52-Week High (within 25%).
Price is above the 52-Week Low (at least 25%).
Meaning:
🟢 PASSED: Technically healthy and ready to move.
🔴 FAILED: The trend structure is broken (e.g., MAs are entangled).
D. RPR Score (Relative Performance Rating)
What it checks: How strong the stock is compared to the general market (S&P 500 / SPY).
Calculation: Weighted performance over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months vs. the SPY. The score ranges from 1 to 99.
Meaning:
🟢 80-99: Market Leader. These are the stocks Minervini targets.
🟡 70-80: Good, but not elite.
⚪ Below 70: Laggard (weaker than the market).
E. VCP Action (Volatility Contraction Pattern)
What it checks: Monitors price tightness. It calculates the range between the highest close and lowest close over the last 5 days.
Meaning:
🔵 SQUEEZE (Blue Text + Blue Dot on Chart): The price range has contracted to less than 2.5%.
Why it matters: When a stock stops moving wildly and trades in a tight range ("Flat Line"), it indicates supply has dried up. A high-volume breakout often follows immediately.

Adaptive Gaussian AFR# Adaptive Gaussian AFR (Average Filtering Range)
The **Adaptive Gaussian AFR** is a sophisticated trend-following overlay designed to provide a "cleaner" perspective on market structure. It synthesizes advanced signal processing with volatility-adjusted trailing logic to create a perpetual trend indicator that filters noise while maintaining extreme responsiveness during momentum breakouts.
## How It Works
This indicator combines three distinct mathematical principles to analyze and visualize price action:
### 1. 4-Pole Gaussian Smoothing
Standard moving averages often suffer from a trade-off between smoothness and lag. By employing a **4-pole Gaussian filter**, the indicator applies a bell-curve weighting to price data. This results in a curve that is mathematically smoother than an EMA but reacts more sharply to significant price shocks.
### 2. Adaptive Volatility Scaling
Unlike static indicators, this script utilizes a **Volatility Ratio** (comparing short-term ATR to long-term ATR).
- **Expansion:** When volatility spikes, the Gaussian filter automatically shortens its lookback to "catch" the breakout.
- **Contraction:** When the market consolidates, it lengthens the lookback to prevent "whipsaws" and false signals.
### 3. AFR (Average Filtering Range) Logic
The "step-ladder" behavior is driven by the AFR logic. It calculates volatility-based boundaries (using an ATR factor). The trend line only moves higher if the price exceeds the current floor, and only moves lower if the price breaks the ceiling, creating a "perpetual" support and resistance level.
## Visual Interface & Branding
The script features a high-visibility sentiment map using a custom brand color scheme:
- **Bullish State (Blue - rgb(45, 162, 252)):** Triggered when price is trading above the Adaptive Gaussian mean and the AFR floor.
- **Bearish State (Purple - rgb(113, 59, 249)):** Triggered when price breaks below the mean and the AFR ceiling.
- **Brand Candles:** Price bars are automatically colored to match the trend state for immediate visual confirmation.
## Why This is Unique
Most trend followers are "fixed"—they perform well in trending markets but fail in sideways chop. The uniqueness of the **Adaptive Gaussian AFR** lies in its ability to "breathe." Because the Gaussian engine is adaptive, it attempts to solve the "lag vs. noise" problem by becoming more rigid when the market is indecisive and more fluid when a trend is confirmed.
## Great inventions require great Care
**This is not a standalone trading system.** While the Adaptive Gaussian AFR provides a highly refined view of the trend, it should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools.
- **Lag:** Like all indicators based on historical data, the filter is inherently lagging and cannot predict future price movements.
- **No Standalone Use:** Do not use this as your sole reason for entering or exiting a trade. It is best used as a **Trend Filter** or a **Volatility-Adjusted Entry/Exit Strategy in confluence with other tools**.
- **Context Matters:** It does not account for fundamental news, higher-timeframe resistance, or volume profiles.

SD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeBSD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeB
🔍 Overview
SD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeB (SDRO) is a normalized momentum oscillator that compresses a low-lag trend core into a 0–100 style range using standard-deviation (SD) bands. It builds a smooth baseline from a fast triple-smoothed average, wraps it with ±2×SD volatility bounds, then normalizes the core value inside that envelope. Clear Long/Short regimes trigger when the normalized value crosses user-defined thresholds, with optional labels, regime-colored candles, and intuitive filled zones.
✨ Key Features
1.⚡ Low-Lag Core (Triple-Smooth Engine)
- Uses a fast, low-lag triple-smoothed average as the oscillator’s primary signal input.
- Helps keep momentum readings responsive while filtering noise.
2. 📏 SD Volatility Envelope (±2×SD)
- Builds a volatility channel around a smoothed baseline using standard deviation.
- Automatically adapts to changing market turbulence.
3. 🧮 Normalized Range Output
- Converts the core signal into a normalized value by mapping it between the upper/lower SD bounds.
- Makes readings consistent across assets and timeframes.
4. 🎯 Threshold-Based Regimes
- Long when the normalized value exceeds the Long threshold.
- Short when it falls below the Short threshold.
- Includes an additional safety filter to reduce “forced” longs when price is already extended near the upper envelope.
5. 🎨 Visual Clarity & Zones
- Regime-colored oscillator line and candles.
- Filled SD bands around the baseline for quick volatility context.
- Optional highlight fills between the oscillator and thresholds to show active long/short phases.
- Extra OB/OS background zones for quick overextension awareness.
6. 🔔 Signals & Alerts
- Optional “Long/Short” labels on confirmed regime flips.
- Alert conditions fire on long/short regime crossovers.
💼 Use Cases
• Momentum Confirmation: Validate breakouts by requiring SDRO to hold above the Long threshold.
• Mean-Reversion Awareness: Watch for extreme normalized readings near upper/lower bounds.
• Regime Filtering: Use SDRO state (Long/Short/Neutral) to filter trades from other systems.
• Cross-Market Comparison: Normalization makes it easier to compare momentum across different tickers.
🎯 For Who
• Trend traders who want a clean momentum filter with adaptive volatility context.
• System builders needing a simple regime variable (1 / -1 / neutral) to gate entries.
• Discretionary traders who like visual confirmation (fills, candle coloring, threshold zones).
• Multi-asset traders who benefit from normalized, comparable oscillator readings.
⚙️ Default Settings
• TEMA Period: 7
• Base Length (SMMA): 25
• Long Threshold: 55
• Short Threshold: 45
• SD Multiplier: 2× (fixed in code)
• Color Mode: Alpha
• Color Transparency: 60
• Labels: Off by default
📌 Conclusion
SD-Range Oscillator | QuantEdgeB blends a low-lag triple-smoothed core with an adaptive SD envelope to produce a normalized, easy-to-read momentum signal. With clear threshold regimes, volatility-aware context, and strong visuals (fills + candle coloring), SDRO helps separate meaningful momentum shifts from noise across any asset or timeframe.
🔹 Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always backtest and align settings with your risk tolerance and objectives before live trading.
🔹 Strategic Advice: Always backtest, optimize, and align parameters with your trading objectives and risk tolerance before live trading.
TwinSmooth ATR Bands | QuantEdgeBTwinSmooth ATR Bands | QuantEdgeB
🔍 Overview
TwinSmooth ATR Bands | QuantEdgeB is a dual-smoothing, ATR-adaptive trend filter that blends two complementary smoothing engines into a single baseline, then builds dynamic ATR bands around it to detect decisive breakouts. When price closes above the upper band it triggers a Long regime; when it closes below the lower band it flips to Short—otherwise it stays neutral. The script enhances clarity with regime-colored candles, an active-band fill, and an optional on-chart backtest table.
✨ Key Features
1. 🧠 Twin-Smooth Baseline (Dual Engine Blend)
- Computes two separate smoothed baselines (a slower “smooth” leg + a faster “responsive” leg).
- Blends them into a single midpoint baseline for balanced stability + speed.
- Applies an extra EMA smoothing pass to produce a clean trend_base.
2. 📏 ATR Volatility Bands
- Builds upper/lower bands using ATR × multiplier around the trend_base.
- Bands expand in volatile conditions and contract when markets quiet down—auto-adapting without manual tweaks.
3. ⚡ Clear Breakout Regime Logic
- Long when close > upperBand.
- Short when close < lowerBand.
- Neutral otherwise (no forced signals inside the band zone).
4. 🎨 Visual Clarity
- Plots only the active band (lower band in long regime, upper band in short regime).
- Fills between active band and price for instant regime context.
- Colors candles to match the current state (bullish / bearish / neutral).
- Multiple color palettes + transparency control.
💼 Use Cases
• Trend Confirmation Filter: Use the regime as a higher-confidence trend gate for entries from other indicators.
• Breakout/Breakdown Trigger: Trade closes outside ATR bands to catch momentum expansions.
• Volatility-Aware Stops/Targets: Bands naturally reflect volatility, making them useful as adaptive reference levels.
• Multi-Timeframe Alignment: Confirm higher-timeframe regime before executing on lower timeframes.
🎯 For Who
• Trend Traders who want clean regime shifts without constant whipsaw.
• Breakout Traders who prefer confirmation via ATR expansion rather than raw MA crossovers.
• System Builders needing a simple, robust “state engine” (Long / Short / Neutral) to plug into larger strategies.
• Analysts who want quick on-chart validation with a backtest table.
⚙️ Default Settings
• SMMA Length (Base Smooth Leg): 24
• TEMA Length (Base Responsive Leg): 8
• EMA Extra Smoothing: 14
• ATR Length: 14
• ATR Multiplier: 1.1
• Color Mode: Alpha
• Color Transparency: 30
• Backtest Table: On (toggleable)
• Backtest Start Date: 09 Oct 2017
• Labels: Off by default
📌 Conclusion
TwinSmooth ATR Bands | QuantEdgeB merges a dual-speed smoothing core into a single trend baseline, then wraps it with ATR-based bands to deliver clean, volatility-adjusted breakout signals. With regime coloring, active-band plotting, and optional backtest stats, it’s a compact, readable tool for spotting momentum shifts and trend continuation across any market and timeframe.
🔹 Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always backtest and align settings with your risk tolerance and objectives before live trading.
🔹 Strategic Advice: Always backtest, optimize, and align parameters with your trading objectives and risk tolerance before live trading.
Volatility High/Low Projection (PHOD / PLOD)AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday turning points by combining daily range statistics, session behaviour, and volatility context into a single clean framework.
It is built for index, forex, and metals traders who want structure, not noise.
🔹 Core Features
1️⃣ Potential High of Day (PHOD) & Potential Low of Day (PLOD)
The indicator highlights likely intraday extremes based on:
Session timing (Asia, London, New York)
Current day volatility vs historical averages
Prior day expansion or compression behaviour
Each level is displayed with:
A clear label (PHOD / PLOD)
A forward-extending box acting as a live Point of Interest (POI)
Automatic invalidation when price breaks the zone
2️⃣ Volatility & Range Context (Info Panel)
A compact information panel in the top-right corner provides real-time context without cluttering the chart:
20-Day Average Range
% of the average range already used today
Range status (NORMAL / EXHAUSTED)
Average session ranges for:
Asia
London
New York
This allows traders to immediately assess whether price is:
Early in the day with room to trend
Statistically stretched and prone to reversal
Over-extended where breakout chasing is risky
3️⃣ Session-Aware Logic
The model respects how markets behave across the trading day:
Asia favours accumulation and potential lows
London provides expansion
New York often delivers distribution or exhaustion
This prevents random high/low marking and focuses only on structurally meaningful levels.
🧠 How to Use
Use PHOD / PLOD boxes as reaction zones, not blind entries
Combine with your own confirmation (structure break, momentum, volume, EMA reclaim, etc.)
Avoid chasing trades when the Range Status = EXHAUSTED
Particularly effective on 15m – 1h timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint
It is contextual, not a buy/sell signal generator
Best used as part of a complete trading plan
📈 Suitable Markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX)
Major FX pairs

Dark Vector ScalpingThe Dark Vector Scalping indicator is a high-frequency trend-following system designed specifically to capture rapid momentum shifts in the market. It combines a staircase-style breakout logic with volatility-adjusted trailing stops to define market direction.
While the underlying math is robust enough for various asset classes, this specific configuration is optimized for scalping operations on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. It aims to filter out the "noise" common in lower timeframes while reacting quickly to genuine breakouts.
Core Components
1. The Apex Engine (Staircase Logic) Unlike traditional moving averages that curve with price, this engine uses a "hard" breakout logic. It looks back at a specific number of bars (Sensitivity) to find the highest highs and lowest lows.
Bullish Flip: Occurs when the price closes below the calculated low of the previous trend.
Bearish Flip: Occurs when the price closes above the calculated high of the previous trend.
Trailing Stop: Once a trend is established, a trailing stop line is drawn. This line only moves in the direction of the trend (up for bullish, down for bearish) and never retraces, acting as a ratchet to lock in paper profits.
2. Volatility Normalization To prevent getting stopped out by random market noise (scam wicks), the indicator calculates the Average True Range (ATR). It multiplies this volatility metric by a user-defined deviation factor to determine exactly how far the stop line should be from the current price action.
3. The Hull Moving Average (HMA) Filter The script includes an optional 50-period Hull Moving Average. The HMA is known for being extremely fast and smooth, reducing lag compared to standard moving averages.
Visual Reference: You can plot the line to see the overall macro trend.
Hard Filter: You can enable a "Safety Filter" in the settings. If enabled, the system will only generate Buy signals if the price is above the HMA, and Sell signals if the price is below the HMA.
4. The Dashboard A data panel is located on the chart (customizable position) to provide instant numerical data without needing to calculate levels manually. It displays the current trend state, the exact price of the trailing stop, and the status of the HMA filter.
Settings & Configuration
Sensitivity (Lookback)
Default: 5
This is the primary setting for the Apex Engine. A setting of 5 is the "sweet spot" for 1-minute and 5-minute charts. It allows the system to react very quickly to sudden volume spikes. Increasing this number (e.g., to 10) will make the signals slower and more conservative.
Stop Deviation
Default: 3.0
This controls the "breathing room" for the trade. A value of 3.0 allows for standard volatility on minute charts without triggering a premature exit. Lowering this to 2.0 will result in tighter stops but more false signals.
HMA Filter
Use HMA as Filter? (Default: OFF):
When OFF, the system signals purely on price action breakouts (fastest).
When ON, the system waits for the price to align with the 50-period HMA before signaling (safest, but may delay entry).
How to Interpret Visuals
Candle Colors
Teal/Green: The market is in a Bullish regime.
Red/Pink: The market is in a Bearish regime.
The Line
The solid stepped line represents the hard invalidation point. If price closes beyond this line, the trend is considered over.
Diamond Signals
Light Green Diamond (Below Bar): Confirmed Buy Signal. A new bullish trend has started.
Light Red/Pink Diamond (Above Bar): Confirmed Sell Signal. A new bearish trend has started.
Trading Strategy Guide
The Scalp Entry
Ensure you are on a 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe.
Wait for a signal Diamond to close. Do not enter while the bar is still forming, as the signal may repaint (disappear) if the price retraces before the close.
Long Entry: Enter when a Green Diamond appears and the candle turns Teal.
Short Entry: Enter when a Red Diamond appears and the candle turns Red.
Risk Management
Stop Loss: Your invalidation level is the "Apex Stop" line. You can place your hard stop loss slightly beyond this line.
Take Profit: Because this is a trend-following system, it is often best to hold until the candle color changes, or to take profit at fixed Risk:Reward ratios (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
The HMA Nuance If you find the market is "choppy" (moving sideways), enable the "Use HMA as Filter" option in the settings. This will force the system to ignore signals that are counter-trend to the longer-term momentum.

Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features

Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
ATR / Price RatioDescription:
This indicator plots the ratio of the Average True Range (ATR) to the current price, showing volatility as a percentage of price rather than in absolute terms. It helps compare volatility across assets and timeframes by normalizing for price level.
A higher ATR/Price ratio means the market is moving a larger percentage of its value each bar (high relative volatility). A lower ratio indicates tighter, quieter price action (low relative volatility).
Traders can use this ratio to:
• Compare volatility between instruments
• Identify shifts into high or low volatility regimes
• Adjust position sizing and stop distances relative to risk
Volatility Trend Indicator+Overview:
This indicator measures short-term volatility relative to its smoothed average. It helps visualize whether volatility is increasing or decreasing over time. The indicator is displayed in a separate pane below the main price chart for clarity

It adjusts automatically to recent price changes and highlights calm or wild market periods. It colors the chart background and bars in shades of blue to cyan, with optional small labels for changes in market mood. Use it for info only—combine with your own analysis and risk controls. It's not a buy/sell signal or promise of results.Key FeaturesSmart Volatility Measure: Tracks price swings with a flexible time window that reacts to market speed.
Market Mood Detection: Spots high-energy (wild) or low-energy (calm) phases to help see shifts.
Visual Style: Uses smooth color fades on the background and bars—cyan for calm, deep blue for wild—to blend nicely on your chart.
Custom Options: Change settings like time periods, sensitivity, colors, and labels.
Chart Fit: Sits right on your main price chart without extra lines, keeping things clean.
How It WorksThe tool figures out volatility like this:Adjustment Factor:Looks at recent price ranges compared to longer ones.
Tweaks the time window (between 10-50 bars) based on how fast prices are moving.
Volatility Calc:Adds up logs of high/low ranges over the adjusted window.
Takes the square root for the final value.
Can scale it to yearly terms for easy comparison across chart timeframes.
Mood Check:Compares current volatility to its recent average and spread.
Flags "high" if above your set level, "low" if below.
Neutral in between.
This setup makes it quicker in busy markets and steadier in quiet ones.Settings You Can ChangeAdjust in the tool's menu:Base Time Window (default: 20): Starting point for calculations. Bigger numbers smooth things out but might miss quick changes.
Adjustment Strength (default: 0.5): How much it reacts to price speed. Low = steady; high = quick changes.
Yearly Scaling (default: on): Makes values comparable across short or long charts. Turn off for raw numbers.
Mood Sensitivity (default: 1.0): How strict for calling high/low moods. Low = more shifts; high = only big ones.
Show Labels (default: on): Adds tiny "High Vol" or "Low Vol" tags when moods change. They point up or down from bars.
Background Fade (default: 80): How see-through the color fill is (0 = invisible, 100 = solid).
Bar Fade (default: 50): How much color blends into your candles or bars (0 = none, 100 = full).
How to Read and Use ItColor Shifts:Background and bars fade based on mood strength:Cyan shades mean calm markets (good for steady, back-and-forth trades).
Deep blue shades mean wild markets (watch for big moves or turns).
Smooth changes show volatility building or easing.
Labels:"High Vol" (deep blue, from below bar): Start of wild phase.
"Low Vol" (cyan, from above bar): Start of calm phase.
Only shows at changes to avoid clutter. Use for timing strategy tweaks.
Trading Ideas:Mood-Based Plays: In wild phases (deep blue), try chase-momentum or breakout trades since swings are bigger. In calm phases (cyan), stick to bounce-back or range trades.
Risk Tips: Cut trade sizes in wild times to handle bigger losses. Use calm times for longer holds with close stops.
Chart Time Tips: Turn on yearly scaling for matching short and long views. Test settings on past data—loosen for quick trades (more alerts), tighten for longer ones (fewer, stronger).
Mix with Others: Add trend lines or averages—buy in calm up-moves, sell in wild down-moves. Check with volume or key levels too.
Special Cases: In big news events, it reacts faster. On slow assets, it might overstate swings—ease the adjustment strength.
Limits and TipsIt looks back at past data, so it trails real-time action and can't predict ahead.
Results differ by stock or timeframe—test on history first.
Colors and tags are just visuals; set your own alerts if needed.

Bollinger Bands Squeeze📈 Bollinger Bands Squeeze
This indicator enhances traditional Bollinger Bands by integrating Keltner Channel layers to visualize market compression and volatility expansion — allowing traders to easily identify when a squeeze is building or releasing.
🔍 Overview
This is a refined version of the classic Bollinger Bands, designed to detect volatility squeezes using multiple Keltner Channel thresholds.
The script plots standard Bollinger Bands and dynamically colors the bands according to the degree of compression relative to the Keltner Channels.
⚙️ How It Works
Bollinger Bands are calculated from a selected moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, or VWMA) and standard deviation multiplier.
Keltner Channels are derived from ATR (True Range) using three sensitivity levels (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0× multipliers).
When Bollinger Bands contract inside a Keltner Channel, the script marks a squeeze state:
🟠 High Compression (Orange): Very tight volatility — expect breakout soon.
🔴 Mid Compression (Red): Moderate contraction — volatility is building.
⚫ Low Compression (Gray/Black): Early compression phase.
🧩 Inputs & Customization
Length : Period for both Bollinger and Keltner calculations.
Basis MA Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA.
StdDev Multiplier : Controls Bollinger Bandwidth.
Keltner Multipliers (1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0) : Adjust compression thresholds.
Offset : Shifts the bands visually on the chart.
🕹️ Best Use Cases
Identify pre-breakout conditions before volatility expansion.
Combine with volume, momentum, or trend indicators (e.g., RSI) for confirmation.
Ideal for scalping, breakout trading, or volatility-based entries during session opens.
Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)Bollinger Keltner Squeeze Indicator (BBKC)This single-pane indicator combines the power of Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to accurately identify periods of low volatility compression—the famous Squeeze—which often precedes large, directional moves.Designed for traders utilizing Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution (AMD) strategies, this tool makes spotting the 'Accumulation' phase simple and visually clear, perfect for high BTC Beta equities or futures markets like MES and MNQ.Key Features:Clear Squeeze Visualization:The background of the main chart is shaded Orange when the Squeeze is active (BB is inside KC). This immediately highlights periods of extreme compression.A simple Red/Green Dot below the chart confirms the Squeeze state (Red = Squeeze ON, Green = Squeeze OFF).Momentum Histogram:A built-in momentum oscillator smooths price action and guides the anticipated direction of the breakout.Teal/Orange Bars: Indicate momentum direction while the Squeeze is active (building pressure).Bright Green/Red Bars: Indicate momentum direction after the Squeeze has broken (expansion/breakout).How to Find Maximum Volatility Compression (The "Tightest" Squeeze)To align this indicator with a strategy focused on catching only the most extreme volatility compression—the key to those explosive moves—traders should adjust the Keltner Channel Multiplier setting.Setting Name: KC Multiplier (ATR)Default Value: 1.5Recommended Adjustment: To filter for only the absolute tightest squeezes (where price is least volatile), decrease this multiplier value, typically down to 1.25 or even 1.0.By lowering the KC Multiplier (ATR), you narrow the Keltner Channel boundaries. This requires the Bollinger Bands to compress even further to fit inside, ensuring the indicator only signals the Squeeze state during moments of truly minimal volatility, setting you up for maximum opportunity.
Mongoose Global Conflict Risk Index v1Overview
The Mongoose Global Conflict Risk Index v1 is a multi-asset composite indicator designed to track the early pricing of geopolitical stress and potential conflict risk across global markets. By combining signals from safe havens, volatility indices, energy markets, and emerging market equities, the index provides a normalized 0–10 score with clear bias classifications (Neutral, Caution, Elevated, High, Shock).
This tool is not predictive of headlines but captures when markets are clustering around conflict-sensitive assets before events are widely recognized.
Methodology
The indicator calculates rolling rate-of-change z-scores for eight conflict-sensitive assets:
Gold (XAUUSD) – classic safe haven
US Dollar Index (DXY) – global reserve currency flows
VIX (Equity Volatility) – S&P 500 implied volatility
OVX (Crude Oil Volatility Index) – energy stress gauge
Crude Oil (CL1!) – WTI front contract
Natural Gas (NG1!) – energy security proxy, especially Europe
EEM (Emerging Markets ETF) – global risk capital flight
FXI (China ETF) – Asia/China proxy risk
Rules:
Safe havens and vol indices trigger when z-score > threshold.
Energy triggers when z-score > threshold.
Risk assets trigger when z-score < –threshold.
Each trigger is assigned a weight, summed, normalized, and scaled 0–10.
Bias classification:
0–2: Neutral
2–4: Caution
4–6: Elevated
6–8: High
8–10: Conflict Risk-On
How to Use
Timeframes:
Daily (1D) for strategic signals and early warnings.
4H for event shocks (missiles, sanctions, sudden escalations).
Weekly (1W) for sustained trends and macro build-ups.
What to Look For:
A single trigger (for example, Gold ON) may be noise.
A cluster of 2–3 triggers across Gold, USD, VIX, and Energy often marks early stress pricing.
Elevated readings (>4) = caution; High (>6) = rotation into havens; Shock (>8) = market conviction of conflict risk.
Practical Application:
Monitor as a heatmap of global stress.
Combine with fundamental or headline tracking.
Use alert conditions at ≥4, ≥6, ≥8 for systematic monitoring.

Candle Spread + ATR SMA Analysis
This indicator combines elements from two popular open-source scripts — Candle Range Compare
by @oldinvestor
and Objective Analysis of Spread (VSA)
by @Rin-Nin
— into a single tool for analyzing candle spreads (ranges and bodies) in relation to volatility benchmarks.
🔎 What It Does
Candle Decomposition:
Plots total candle ranges (high–low) in gray, for both up and down closes.
Plots up-close bodies (open–close) in white.
Plots down-close bodies in black.
This makes it easy to spot whether volatility comes from real price movement (body) or extended wicks.
ATR & SMA Volatility Bands:
Calculates ATR (Average True Range) and overlays it as a black line.
Plots four volatility envelopes derived from the SMA of the true range:
0.8× (blue, shaded)
1.3× (green)
1.8× (red)
3.0× (purple)
Colored fill zones highlight when candle spreads are below, within, or above key thresholds.
Visual Context:
Track expansion/contraction in spreads.
Compare bullish (white) vs bearish (black) bodies to gauge buying/selling pressure.
Identify when candles stretch beyond typical volatility ranges.
📈 How To Use It
VSA context: Wide down bars (black) beyond ATR bands may suggest supply; wide up bars (white) may indicate demand.
Trend confirmation: Expanding ranges above average thresholds (green/red/purple bands) often confirm momentum.
Reversal potential: Small bodies but large ranges (gray + wicks) frequently appear at turning points.
Volatility filter: Use ATR bands to filter trades — e.g., only act when candle ranges exceed 1.3× or 1.8× SMA thresholds.

Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).

Swing Z | Zillennial Technologies Inc.Swing Z by Zillennial Technologies Inc. is an advanced algorithmic framework built specifically for cryptocurrency markets. It integrates multiple layers of technical analysis into a single decision-support tool, generating buy and sell signals only when several independent confirmations align.
Core Concept
Swing Z fuses trend structure, momentum oscillators, volatility signals, and price action tools to capture high-probability trading opportunities in volatile crypto environments.
Trend Structure (EMA 9, 21, 50, 200)
Short-term EMAs (9 & 21) detect immediate momentum shifts.
Longer-term EMAs (50 & 200) define the broader trend and dynamic support/resistance.
Momentum & Confirmation Layer
RSI measures relative strength and market conditions.
MACD crossovers confirm momentum shifts and trend continuations.
Volatility & Market Pressure
TTM Squeeze highlights compression zones likely to precede breakouts.
Volume analysis confirms conviction behind directional moves.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) establishes intraday value zones and institutional benchmarks.
Price Action Filters
Fibonacci retracements are integrated to identify key reversal and continuation levels.
Signals are produced only when multiple conditions agree, reducing noise and improving reliability in fast-moving crypto markets.
Features
Tailored for cryptocurrency trading across major pairs (BTC, ETH, and altcoins).
Works effectively on swing and trend-based timeframes (1H–1D).
Combines trend, momentum, volatility, and price action into a single framework.
Generates clear Buy/Sell markers and integrates with TradingView alerts.
How to Use
Apply to a clean chart for the clearest visualization.
Use Swing Z as a swing trading tool, aligning entries with both trend structure and momentum confirmation.
Combine with your own stop-loss, take-profit, and position sizing rules.
Avoid application on non-standard chart types such as Renko, Heikin Ashi, or Point & Figure, which may distort results.
Disclaimer
Swing Z is designed as a decision-support tool, not financial advice.
All backtesting should use realistic risk, commission, and slippage assumptions.
Past results do not guarantee future performance.
Signals do not repaint but may adjust as new data develops in real-time.
Why Swing Z is original & useful:
Swing Z unifies EMA trend structure, RSI, MACD, TTM Squeeze, VWAP, Fibonacci retracements, and volume analysis into a single algorithmic framework. This multi-confirmation approach improves accuracy by requiring consensus across trend, momentum, volatility, and price action — a design made specifically for the challenges and volatility of cryptocurrency markets.
Bollinger Bands % | QuantEdgeB📊 Introducing Bollinger Bands % (BB%) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
BB% | QuantEdgeB is a volatility-aware momentum tool that maps price within a Bollinger envelope onto a normalized scale. By letting you choose the base moving average (SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, EHMA, THMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, T3, LSMA) and even Heikin-Ashi sources, it adapts to your style while keeping readings consistent across symbols and timeframes. Clear thresholds and color-coded visuals make it easy to spot emerging strength, fading moves, and potential mean-reversions.
✨ Key Features
• 🔹 Flexible Baseline
Pick from 12 MA types (plus Heikin-Ashi source option) to tailor responsiveness and smoothness.
• 🔹 Normalized Positioning
Price is expressed as a percentage of the band range, yielding an intuitive 0–100 style read (can exceed in extreme trends).
• 🔹 Actionable Thresholds
Default Long 55 / Short 45 levels provide simple, objective triggers.
• 🔹 Visual Clarity
Color-coded candles, shaded OB/OS zones, and adaptive color themes speed up decision-making.
• 🔹 Ready-to-Alert
Built-in alerts for long/short transitions.
📐 How It Works
1️⃣ Band Construction
A moving average (your choice) defines the midline; volatility (standard deviation) builds upper/lower bands.
2️⃣ Normalization
The indicator measures where price sits between the lower and upper band, scaling that into a bounded oscillator (BB%).
3️⃣ Signal Logic
• ✅ Long when BB% rises above 55 (strength toward the top of the envelope).
• ❌ Short when BB% falls below 45 (weakness toward the bottom).
4️⃣ OB/OS Context
Shaded regions above/below typical ranges highlight exhaustion and potential snap-backs.
⚙️ Custom Settings
• Base MA Type: SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, ALMA, EHMA, THMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, T3, LSMA
• Source Mode: Classic price or Heikin-Ashi (close/open/high/hlc3)
• Base Length: default 40
• Band Width: standard deviation-based (2× SD by default)
• Long / Short Thresholds: defaults 55 / 45
• Color Mode: Alpha, MultiEdge, TradingSuite, Premium, Fundamental, Classic, Warm, Cold, Strategy
• Candles & Labels: optional candle coloring and signal markers
👥 Ideal For
✅ Trend Followers — Ride strength as price compresses near the upper band.
✅ Swing/Mean-Reversion Traders — Fade extremes when BB% stretches into OB/OS zones.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysts — Compare band position consistently across periods.
✅ System Builders — Use BB% as a normalized feature for strategies and filters.
📌 Conclusion
BB% | QuantEdgeB delivers a clean, normalized read of price versus its volatility envelope—adaptable via rich MA/source options and easy to automate with thresholds and alerts.
🔹 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Normalized view of price inside the volatility bands
2️⃣ Flexible baseline (12+ MA choices) and Heikin-Ashi support
3️⃣ Straightforward 55/45 triggers with clear visual context
📌 Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. No strategy guarantees success.
📌 Strategic Advice: Always backtest, tune parameters, and align with your risk profile before live trading.
New RSI📌 New RSI
The New RSI is a modern, enhanced version of the classic RSI created in 1978 — redesigned for today’s fast-moving markets, where algorithmic trading and AI dominate price action.
This indicator combines:
Adaptive RSI: Adjusts its calculation length in real time based on market volatility, making it more responsive during high volatility and smoother during calm periods.
Dynamic Bands: Upper and lower bands calculated from historical RSI volatility, helping you spot overbought/oversold conditions with greater accuracy.
Trend & Regime Filters: EMA and ADX-based detection to confirm signals only in favorable market conditions.
Volume Confirmation: Signals appear only when high trading volume supports the move — green volume for bullish setups and red volume for bearish setups — filtering out weak and unreliable trades.
💡 How it works:
A LONG signal appears when RSI crosses above the lower band and the volume is high with a bullish candle.
A SHORT signal appears when RSI crosses below the upper band and the volume is high with a bearish candle.
Trend and higher timeframe filters (optional) can help improve precision and adapt to different trading styles.
✅ Best Use Cases:
Identify high-probability reversals or pullbacks with strong momentum confirmation.
Avoid false signals by trading only when volume validates the move.
Combine with your own support/resistance or price action strategy for even higher accuracy.
⚙️ Fully Customizable:
Adjustable RSI settings (length, volatility adaptation, smoothing)
Dynamic band sensitivity
Volume threshold multiplier
Higher timeframe RSI filter
Color-coded background for market regime visualization
This is not just another RSI — it’s a complete, next-gen momentum tool designed for traders who want accuracy, adaptability, and confirmation in every signal.
