Stocks: QQQ Daily ATR% + Premarket Range (% of ATR)## Stocks/ETFs: QQQ Premarket Range (% of Daily ATR) — ORB Trading Guide
### What this indicator does
This indicator is built for **stocks and ETFs** like **QQQ** and is meant to support **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)** trading.
It measures the **Premarket Range** from **04:00 to 09:30** (exchange time), then compares that move to QQQ’s **typical full-day movement** using **Daily ATR(14)**.
The goal is simple:
> **Before the open, decide whether the day is more likely to behave like a “chop day” or an “expansion day,” and then choose the ORB style that matches.**
---
## Key terms (plain English)
### Daily ATR(14)
ATR stands for **Average True Range**.
On the **daily** timeframe, ATR(14) estimates QQQ’s **typical daily movement** over the last 14 trading days.
Think of it as:
> “On a normal day, QQQ tends to move about *X* dollars.”
---
### ATR% (vs Daily Close)
This converts ATR into a percent of price so you can compare volatility over time:
Think of it as:
> “QQQ’s typical daily move is about *X%* of its price.”
---
### Premarket Range (04:00–09:30)
This is the distance between the **premarket high** and **premarket low** during the session window:
**04:00 → 09:30**
Think of it as:
> “How much QQQ already moved before the bell.”
---
### Premarket Range % of ATR
This is the core measurement:
It answers:
> “How much of a normal day’s movement already happened before the open?”
Examples:
* **20%** = quiet premarket (small move)
* **60%** = active premarket (big move already happened)
---
## How to interpret the Regime label
This script classifies the day into one of three “regimes”:
### **CHOP-LEANING** (Premarket Range < 25% of Daily ATR)
Premarket was quiet. The open is more likely to be:
* range-bound
* full of fakeouts
* slower follow-through
### **NEUTRAL** (25%–50%)
Normal premarket activity. Either outcome is possible:
* trend or chop
* you must let the open confirm it
### **EXPANSION-LEANING** (Premarket Range > 50%)
Premarket was very active. The open is more likely to:
* move faster
* expand range quickly
* have stronger directional pushes (or sharp swings)
**Important:** Expansion does not guarantee a clean trend. It means **movement is more likely**.
---
# How I use this indicator with ORB (my rules)
This indicator is not a buy/sell signal by itself.
I use it to decide **which ORB style to trade**.
## Step 1 — Check the “Regime” before the open
* If the indicator reads **EXPANSION-LEANING**, I treat it like a momentum environment.
* If the indicator reads **CHOP-LEANING**, I treat it like a confirmation environment.
* If it reads **NEUTRAL**, I stay selective and let price action confirm.
---
## Step 2 — ORB Execution Rules
### ✅ If **EXPANSION-LEANING** (momentum day)
**Goal:** Catch the move early and avoid missing the breakout.
**My ORB plan:**
* Build my opening range using the **5-minute ORB**
* Enter on a **break of the ORB level**
* Use the **1-minute timeframe** for the actual entry trigger
**How I confirm the break:**
* I want a clean break through the ORB level (not just a wick touch)
* If price snaps immediately back inside the ORB, I avoid chasing
This approach fits expansion days because QQQ can move fast after the open and waiting for perfect retests can cause you to miss the push.
---
### ✅ If **CHOP-LEANING** (confirmation day)
**Goal:** Avoid fakeouts and only enter when the break proves itself.
**My ORB plan:**
* Build my opening range using a **15-minute ORB**
* I do **not** enter on the first break
* I wait for a **break and retest**
* Then I use the **5-minute timeframe** to confirm the retest holds before entry
This fits chop days because breaks fail more often, so I require confirmation before committing.
---
### ✅ If **NEUTRAL**
**Goal:** Reduce low-quality trades.
**My ORB plan:**
* Treat it as “wait and see”
* Only take the break if price shows strong conviction (hold outside ORB)
* If price is whipping in and out of the range, I skip the trade
---
## Best practices
* Works best on **1m / 5m / 15m charts** so the premarket high/low is captured accurately.
* Premarket session time uses the symbol’s **exchange time**.
* Use proper risk management—QQQ can move fast, especially on expansion days.

Average True Range (ATR)
Accelerated SuperTrend SAR [Horazio]Accelerated SuperTrend SAR (AST-SAR)
Overview
Accelerated SuperTrend SAR (AST-SAR) is a trend-following overlay indicator that combines the structural stability of a SuperTrend framework with the adaptive behavior of a Parabolic SAR.
Its goal is to provide a smooth, visually intuitive representation of trend direction, trend maturity, and dynamic support/resistance behavior directly on the price chart.
Notes
No future data usage
No repainting
Works across instruments and timeframes
Designed as a trend structure visualization tool, not a trading system
Concept & Architecture
AST-SAR is built around a hybrid fusion model:
SuperTrend defines the primary trend direction and baseline structure.
Parabolic SAR contributes progressive acceleration as the trend matures.
A blending engine gradually transitions from SuperTrend dominance to SAR influence based on trend age.
This approach allows early trend phases to remain stable while later phases become more responsive.
Trend Maturity & Adaptive Blending
The indicator tracks how long the current trend has remained active (“trend maturity”).
As maturity increases, the hybrid line progressively incorporates more SAR behavior.
Two blending modes are available:
Adaptive blending: smooth, proportional transition.
Discrete blending: full acceleration only after a defined maturity threshold.
This design helps distinguish early trend development from extended trend continuation.
Visual Structure
Hybrid Stop Line
A single adaptive line that evolves with trend conditions and acts as a visual reference for market structure.
Directional Coloring
The hybrid line and bars are color-coded based on trend direction to improve clarity in fast-moving markets.
Bar Shading
Subtle bar coloring reflects price position relative to the hybrid line, aiding contextual awareness without obscuring price action.
Annotations & Visual Markers
Optional on-chart annotations highlight notable structural events:
Direction flips when the underlying trend state changes.
Defense markers when price tests and respects the hybrid line intrabar.
These elements are intended as visual cues only, helping users observe market behavior rather than generating standalone decisions.
A configurable cooldown prevents visual clutter in choppy conditions.
Volatility Visualizer Percentiles (VIXFix, ATR, VIX)Summary
A volatility regime dashboard for liquid instruments that converts three volatility lenses into 0 to 100 percentile ranks versus the last 252 closed daily bars. It is built to answer one question: is volatility unusually low or unusually high relative to the last year . Use it to adjust position sizing, stop width, and trade selectivity. It is not a directional signal.
Scope and intent
Markets : US indices and index ETFs, index futures, large cap equities, liquid crypto proxies, and other symbols where daily volatility regimes matter
Timeframes : best on Daily. It can be applied on other chart timeframes, but the reference window remains 252 closed daily bars
Default demo : SPX on Daily
Purpose : provide a simple, testable volatility context layer that you can plug into any daily system as a risk filter or risk scaler
What makes it original and useful
Most “volatility tools” show raw ATR or a single volatility index. This script standardizes three distinct sources into the same unit (percentile), so you can compare them and combine them without guessing thresholds.
Unique fusion : internal realized volatility (ATR%), internal stress proxy (VIXFix), and external implied volatility (input VIX symbol) expressed in the same 0 to 100 scale
Practical outcome : the table gives a regime read and an action posture, so the output is directly usable for risk decisions
Testable : all components are visible and thresholdable; you can backtest rules like “only trade when composite is between 30 and 75”
Portable : percentiles remove the need to hardcode market specific “ATR is high” numbers across different symbols
Method overview in plain language
Base measures
VIXFix : a price based fear proxy derived from the instrument’s own daily behavior (using the relationship between recent high closes and current lows)
ATR% : daily ATR normalized by daily close, expressed as a percentage for cross symbol comparability
External VIX : a user selected volatility index or proxy pulled via input symbol (default CBOE:VIX)
Normalization to percentiles
For each metric, the script stores the last 252 closed daily values
It then computes where the most recent closed daily value sits inside that history as a percentile from 0 to 100
Tie handling is configurable (Midrank, StrictLess, LessOrEqual) to define how repeated values are ranked
Fusion rule
Composite percentile is the simple average of the available percentiles (VIXFix, ATR%, VIX)
If one component is missing (for example the external symbol is unavailable), the composite averages the remaining components
How to use it on Daily
This tool is most effective as a risk regime layer on top of an existing strategy. Use the Composite row as the primary dial, and the individual components as confirmation.
Recommended operating zones
0–20 Very Low : quiet regime. Tight stops often survive, but breakouts can underperform. Favor mean reversion or require stronger breakout confirmation.
20–40 Low : constructive for many systems. Use baseline sizing and baseline stops.
40–60 Mid : neutral. Run your base playbook.
60–80 High : volatility expansion. Reduce size and widen stops, or trade only higher quality setups.
80–100 Very High : stress regime. Smallest size, widest stops, and skip marginal setups. Gap risk and slippage risk are higher.
How to interpret disagreements
If ATR% is high but VIX is mid , realized vol is elevated but the market is not pricing extreme fear. Treat as a caution zone, not panic.
If VIX is high but ATR% is mid , implied vol is elevated ahead of potential events. Expect expansion risk even if realized vol has not moved yet.
If all three are high , treat it as a full stress regime and enforce strict risk limits.
What you will see on the chart
A compact table with one row per metric and optional composite
For each row: last closed daily value, 252D percentile, a progress bar, and an action posture
Optional stats: min, median, max for the 252D window (useful for sanity checks, adds CPU)
Table fields quick guide
Last closed daily : the value used for ranking, taken from the last fully closed daily bar
252D percentile : where the current reading ranks versus the last 252 closed daily readings
Bar : quick visual map of percentile from 0 to 100
Action : risk posture suggestion tied to the percentile bucket
Inputs with guidance
Core
Window (closed daily bars) : default 252. Higher values make the regime slower and more structural. Lower values make it more reactive.
VIX
VIX symbol : default CBOE:VIX. You can replace it with another implied volatility proxy appropriate for your market.
VIXFix
VIXFix lookback : typical range 21/22. Smaller reacts faster, larger smooths regimes.
ATR
ATR length : typical range 10–21 on Daily
ATR as % of close : recommended on for comparability across symbols and long history
UI
Show composite volatility score : recommended on. Best single dial.
Show action guide : recommended on if you want direct posture cues.
Show min, median, max : optional. Useful for diagnostics, higher CPU.
Table position : place it where it does not cover price.
Usage recipes
Daily trend following overlay
Trade your trend system normally when Composite is between 25 and 75
If Composite is above 75, reduce size and widen stops, and require stronger trend confirmation
Daily mean reversion overlay
Focus on Composite below 40
Avoid Composite above 80 where gaps and cascading moves reduce mean reversion reliability
Daily risk parity style scaling
Use Composite percentile as a coarse risk throttle: higher percentile equals lower exposure
Example posture: 0–40 normal exposure, 40–80 reduced exposure, above 80 minimal exposure
Alerts
This script is intentionally a dashboard and does not emit buy or sell signals. If you want alerts, create them from percentile thresholds in your own fork. For conservative workflows, trigger alerts on bar close.
// Example alert conditions (add to your fork if desired)
high_vol = comp_pct > 80
low_vol = comp_pct < 20
Honest limitations and failure modes
This is not a directional predictor. Volatility can rise in both bull and bear markets.
Percentiles are relative to the last 252 closed daily bars. A “high percentile” is high versus recent history, not an absolute guarantee of future movement.
Implied volatility (VIX) can move ahead of realized volatility (ATR%). Treat divergence as information, not a signal.
Very high volatility regimes can include gap risk and slippage risk that are not visible in indicator values alone.

Step Generalized Moving Average [BackQuant]Step Generalized Moving Average
Overview
Step Generalized Moving Average (StepGMA) is a trend-structure moving average designed to solve two common problems with classic MAs:
They overreact to noise in chop, causing constant micro-flips.
They lag too much when you smooth them enough to stop that noise.
StepGMA tackles this by combining two layers:
A Generalized Moving Average (GMA) that increases responsiveness without simply shortening length.
A Step Filter that converts the MA into discrete “steps” sized by ATR, suppressing insignificant movement and only updating when the move is meaningful.
The output is a trend line that behaves more like market structure: it holds its level through noise, then “reprices” in chunks when volatility-adjusted movement is large enough.
What the indicator is trying to represent
Instead of showing every tiny MA wiggle, StepGMA tries to represent the idea that:
Most price movement is noise relative to volatility.
Trend only matters when it advances by a meaningful amount.
A good trend line should stay stable until the market forces it to move.
That makes this indicator useful as:
A regime filter (trend vs chop).
A trend-following bias line.
A structure-like dynamic S/R reference.
A signal generator with fewer low-quality flips.
Component 1: Moving Average engine (selectable)
The base smoothing is not fixed. You can choose between multiple MA types:
SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA: classic smoothing families.
DEMA, TEMA: reduced-lag EMA variants.
T3: smooth yet responsive, good for trend.
HMA: very low lag, can be twitchy without filtering.
ALMA: center-weighted smoothing, often “cleaner” visually.
KAMA: adaptive smoothing based on efficiency ratio, good in mixed regimes.
LSMA: regression-based, tends to track trend direction well.
McGinley: dynamic smoothing designed to reduce lag during fast moves.
This matters because the StepGMA is not “one MA.” It is a framework that lets you pick the underlying smoothing behavior, then applies the generalization and step logic on top.
Component 2: Generalized Moving Average (GMA)
Where the idea comes from
Generalized MA here is essentially a form of two-stage smoothing compensation . A common trick in signal processing and technical analysis is:
Apply a smoother once (MA1).
Apply it again (MA2).
Use MA2 as a “lag reference,” then combine MA1 and MA2 to reduce lag while keeping smoothness.
This is related in spirit to reduced-lag filters (like DEMA/TEMA) and “zero-lag” style constructions that subtract part of the lag component. You are not magically removing lag, you are biasing the output toward the first-pass MA while subtracting some of the second-pass smoothing that represents delayed response.
How this script does it
It computes:
ma1 = MA(src, len)
ma2 = MA(ma1, len)
Then combines them using a volume factor (vf):
generalized = ma1 * (1 + vf) - ma2 * vf
Interpretation:
ma2 is a “more delayed” version of ma1.
Subtracting vf * ma2 and adding (1+vf) * ma1 pushes the output toward responsiveness.
vf controls how aggressive that push is.
Volume Factor (vf) is really an aggressiveness knob
The script clamps vf between 0.01 and 1.0 to keep it stable. Conceptually:
Low vf: behaves closer to a normal MA1, smoother, more lag.
High vf: more compensation, faster response, more risk of overshoot or noise sensitivity (which is then handled by the step filter).
So the GMA stage tries to give you a cleaner, faster trend estimate without just shrinking the MA period.
Component 3: Step Filter (the key behavior)
What a step filter is
A step filter turns a continuous signal (here, the generalized MA) into a discrete “staircase” signal. Instead of updating every bar, it updates only when the input has moved far enough to justify a new step.
This is conceptually similar to:
A quantizer in signal processing (rounding changes to discrete increments).
A volatility threshold filter (ignore changes smaller than X).
Market structure logic where levels matter more than micro movement.
How it works in this script
The filter maintains a persistent value: stepped .
Each bar:
diff = src - stepped
If |diff| < stepSize, do nothing (hold the level).
If |diff| >= stepSize, move stepped by a number of step increments.
The step increment size is:
stepSize = (stepMult / 100) * ATR(atrPeriod)
This is critical:
In higher volatility, ATR is larger, so steps are larger, fewer updates, more stability.
In lower volatility, ATR is smaller, so steps are smaller, more updates, more sensitivity.
So the step behavior automatically adapts to volatility.
Multiple-step catching behavior
If price jumps far beyond one step, the script does not move only one step. It moves by:
floor(|diff| / stepSize) * stepSize
So it “catches up” in discrete blocks, preserving the stepped character without lagging massively after large moves.
Direction and regime
Direction is determined by the stepped line, not the raw MA:
direction = +1 if steppedMA is rising
direction = -1 if steppedMA is falling
otherwise direction stays the same
Signals only trigger on direction state changes:
Long when direction flips to +1
Short when direction flips to -1
This matters because it prevents repeated signals while the trend remains intact. You only get a signal when the market has moved enough (in ATR terms) to justify a structural step in the opposite direction.
Secondary line and gradient fill
The script also plots a secondary “slow MA” (length 25, same MA type). This is not the core logic, it is a visual context layer:
StepGMA is the structure line (discrete, regime-driven).
Slow MA is a smoother reference for the underlying drift.
The gradient fill highlights separation and dominance.
When StepGMA sits above the slow MA, the fill reinforces bullish bias. When below, it reinforces bearish bias. It is basically a “trend pressure” visual, not a separate signal.
How to interpret it
1) StepGMA as trend structure
Flat steps mean price is not making enough volatility-adjusted progress to move structure.
Up-steps mean the market has advanced enough to reprice the trend line upward.
Down-steps mean deterioration significant enough to reprice structure downward.
2) Direction is a regime, not a tick-by-tick call
Because direction is derived from step changes, it is naturally a regime filter:
Fewer flips in chop.
Clearer regime transitions.
Signals tend to occur later than ultra-fast tools, but with better confirmation quality.
3) Step size controls noise rejection
StepMult is the main “anti-chop” control:
Higher stepMult = bigger ATR steps = fewer updates, fewer signals, more confirmation, slower to react.
Lower stepMult = smaller steps = more updates, more signals, more sensitivity, more chop risk.
4) Generalization controls responsiveness of the underlying trend estimate
vf controls how “fast” the MA tries to be before stepping:
Higher vf makes the MA respond faster to new price information.
Lower vf makes the MA smoother and more conservative.
The step filter then decides whether that change is meaningful enough to matter.
Practical use cases
Trend filter for entries
Only take longs when direction is bullish.
Only take shorts when direction is bearish.
Avoid trades when StepGMA is flat for long periods, market is not repricing meaningfully.
Dynamic support and resistance
Because the line holds levels, it often behaves like structure:
In uptrends it can act as a rising support reference.
In downtrends it can act as falling resistance.
Signal quality layer
The step-based flip signals tend to be higher quality than basic MA crossovers because they require:
A meaningful volatility-adjusted move.
A confirmed direction change in the stepped trend structure.
Trade management
Use StepGMA as a trailing invalidation reference.
Use direction flips as “hard” regime exits.
Use separation vs slow MA as a “pressure” gauge for scaling decisions.
Tuning guidelines
MA Type
Pick based on the character you want:
T3, ALMA, KAMA are usually good defaults for clean trend representation.
HMA/LSMA are faster but may need larger stepMult to avoid twitch.
SMA is slow and stable but can be too laggy unless vf is increased.
MA Period
Sets the base smoothing horizon. Longer periods give “macro trend,” shorter periods give “tactical trend.”
Volume Factor (vf)
Sets responsiveness compensation:
0.05–0.25 is usually sensible.
Higher than that can get aggressive, step filter will save you, but your steps may fire more often.
ATR Period and StepMult
These define your structure sensitivity:
ATR Period controls how stable the volatility estimate is.
StepMult controls how large a move must be to change structure.
If you want fewer flips, increase StepMult or ATR Period. If you want quicker reaction, lower StepMult or ATR Period.
What this indicator is and is not
It is:
A trend structure MA that ignores sub-threshold noise.
A regime tool that uses volatility-adjusted repricing logic.
A configurable framework that works across assets and timeframes.
It is not:
A predictive reversal tool.
A scalping signal machine.
A replacement for risk management.
Summary
Step Generalized Moving Average combines a lag-compensated moving average (generalization via MA1/MA2 blending) with a volatility-scaled step filter (ATR-based quantization). The result is a stable, structure-like trend line that updates only when price movement is meaningful relative to volatility, producing cleaner regimes, fewer chop flips, and clearer trend bias than conventional moving averages.
ATR/Structure Trail Stop Loss This indicator is a high-performance trend-following tool designed to help traders stay in winning positions for maximum "R" gains. It solves the common problem of getting stopped out too early by combining Volatility (ATR) with Market Structure (Price Action Swings).
How it Works
The script calculates two different stop-loss levels and automatically chooses the most "conservative" one to protect your capital:
ATR Stop: Measures the current market volatility. If the market gets wild, the stop widens. If the market gets calm, the stop tightens.
Structure Stop: Looks at the lowest lows (for Longs) or highest highs (for Shorts) of the last few candles. This ensures you don't stay in a trade if the actual price trend breaks.
Key Features
Hybrid Logic: The stop strictly follows Closing Prices to prevent "wick-outs" from temporary spikes.
Trend Dashboard: A real-time table tracks ADX (Trend Power).
"RUN IT": High momentum; keep trailing for 12R–30R targets.
"TIGHTEN": Momentum is dying; consider locking in profits.
Visual Diamonds: Uses a Step-Line style with diamonds to show exactly when your stop-loss "locks in" a new level.
How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Entry: Enter your trade based on your standard breakout strategy.
Initial Risk: Use the Initial Stop (5 points) until the price moves in your favor.
The Trail: Once the trend establishes, follow the Light White Diamonds.
Scaling: Use the ATR Multiplier input to adjust the "breathing room."
Lower Multiplier (e.g., 1.5): Tighter trail, good for scalp targets.
Higher Multiplier (e.g., 2.5+): Wider trail, best for catching 30R monster moves.
Exit: Close the position immediately when a candle closes on the opposite side of the diamonds.

True Range Smoothed SuperTrendTrue Range Smoothed SuperTrend (TRS SuperTrend | MisinkoMaster)
The True Range Smoothed SuperTrend is an innovative trend analysis indicator designed to identify clear market trends while minimizing noise. By combining a smoothed price source weighted by true range values with an ATR-based volatility multiplier, this tool delivers reliable trend signals adaptable to a wide variety of asset classes and timeframes.
It’s particularly useful for traders seeking a versatile trend-following system that balances sensitivity and stability.
🔍 Concept & Idea
The indicator enhances the classic SuperTrend concept by using a true range–weighted smoothing of price data instead of raw price or simple moving averages. This weighting helps focus on periods with higher volatility, improving the relevance of trend detection.
Along with smoothing, the indicator applies an ATR-based volatility multiplier to dynamically adjust the upper and lower trend bands, adapting to current market volatility conditions.
⚙️ How It Works
True Range Weighted Smoothing:
The source price (default: low) is multiplied by the true range values over the lookback period.
These weighted values are summed and normalized by the total true range sum.
The result is further smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a length proportional to the square root of the input length, reducing noise while preserving trend responsiveness.
ATR-based Bands:
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated with the same length as the smoothing period.
The ATR is multiplied by a user-defined multiplier to establish dynamic upper and lower bands around the smoothed price.
Trend Determination:
When the source price crosses above the upper band, a bullish trend is signaled.
Conversely, crossing below the lower band signals a bearish trend.
These crossings update the trend state, which controls plotted bands and trend labels.
🧩 Inputs Overview
Length – Controls the lookback period for true range weighting, ATR calculation, and smoothing. Affects sensitivity and smoothness (default 37).
Source – Price source used for calculation, defaulting to low.
Multiplier – Scales the ATR bands to adjust volatility sensitivity (default 1.45).
📌 Usage Notes
The TRS SuperTrend works well across various asset classes and timeframes.
The true range weighting improves trend detection in volatile markets by emphasizing price moves during active periods.
Adjust the length and multiplier inputs to balance between noise reduction and responsiveness for your specific market and strategy.
Trend changes are visually marked with “𝓛𝓸𝓷𝓰” and “𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓽” labels directly on the chart.
Background fills between bands and price improve visual clarity.
Combine with other confirmation tools and risk management practices for best results.

Extreme HMA ATR BandsExtreme HMA ATR Bands
Extreme HMA ATR Bands are a fast and smooth trend-following tool designed to capture directional moves while minimizing false signals across volatile markets.
🚀 Benefits
• High responsiveness to market moves
• Smooth trend tracking with fewer false signals
• Strong performance on assets such as SOLUSD, SUIUSD, and CROUSD
• Clear visual band structure for easier market interpretation
💡 Core Idea
The indicator builds adaptive bands around a smoothed price structure derived from Hull-type processing. By focusing on extreme values and combining them into a balanced midpoint, the bands capture trend direction while maintaining smooth behavior.
ATR is then applied to dynamically scale the bands according to market volatility.
⚙️ How It Works
A fast-smoothed price series is calculated using Hull-style logic.
Highest and lowest values of this series are measured over multiple stages.
These extremes are processed again to balance responsiveness and smoothness.
The resulting midpoint forms the base trend line.
ATR is added and subtracted from this midpoint to generate adaptive upper and lower bands.
The result is a fast yet stable band structure that reacts efficiently to market direction changes.
📌 Usage Notes
• Price moving above the upper band suggests bullish pressure.
• Price moving below the lower band suggests bearish pressure.
• Band expansion signals increasing volatility.
• Band contraction often indicates consolidation phases.
Enjoy and trade smart.
Length Adaptive MA SuperTrendLength Adaptive MA SuperTrend
Length Adaptive MA SuperTrend is a third-generation evolution of the SuperTrend concept, designed to improve signal accuracy while maintaining high responsiveness across different market conditions. The indicator dynamically adjusts its moving-average length to better match current market activity, allowing it to react quickly in fast markets while remaining stable during slower phases.
This adaptive behavior helps traders and investors visualize trend direction more clearly while reducing unnecessary noise, making the tool suitable for both beginners and advanced users seeking a responsive trend overlay.
🔍 How It Works
The indicator uses a moving average as the foundation for a SuperTrend-style structure, but instead of keeping the moving-average length fixed, it continuously adapts to changing market environments.
The script compares average activity levels across three horizons:
• Long-term period
• Medium-term period (half length)
• Short-term period (square-root length)
Activity is measured using one of three selectable drivers:
• ATR (volatility)
• Volume
• Standard deviation
Whichever period shows the strongest average activity becomes the active length used for calculating the moving-average base. This allows the indicator to automatically shift between faster and slower behavior depending on market conditions.
After selecting the active length, the result is slightly smoothed using the chosen moving-average type to produce a cleaner and more stable trend structure.
ATR-based bands are then applied around the adaptive base, and trend direction changes when price crosses these bands.
⚙️ Key Features
• Adaptive moving-average length selection
• Automatic adjustment between short, medium, and long market conditions
• Multiple smoothing types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, EWMA)
• ATR-based SuperTrend structure
• Trend transition markers
• Optional candle coloring based on active trend
🧩 Inputs Overview
• Moving-average smoothing type
• Base length and price source
• ATR length and multiplier
• Adaptive driver selection (ATR, Volume, or Standard Deviation)
📌 Usage Notes
• Helps visualize prevailing market trends across changing environments.
• Automatically adapts speed for trending and consolidating markets.
• Signals may change intrabar on lower timeframes.
• Best used with confirmation tools and proper risk management.
• Intended as an analytical tool, not financial advice.
Multiple Factor Adaptive MA SuperTrendMultiple Factor Adaptive MA SuperTrend
Multiple Factor Adaptive MA SuperTrend is an enhanced trend-following overlay that builds on the classical SuperTrend concept by introducing an adaptive moving-average base. The indicator dynamically adjusts to changing market conditions to produce smoother and faster trend signals, helping traders better track directional moves while reducing unnecessary noise.
Instead of relying on a fixed moving-average base, the indicator updates its baseline only when market conditions justify it. This creates a stabilizing effect during consolidation while allowing quicker reactions when volatility, momentum, or activity increases.
🔍 How It Works
The indicator combines:
• A user-selectable Moving Average as the core trend base
• ATR-based volatility bands to detect trend transitions
• An adaptive filter that determines when the base should update
The adaptive mechanism evaluates market conditions using one of several selectable drivers:
• ATR expansion (volatility increase)
• Rate-of-change acceleration
• Rising trading volume
• Increasing divergence between price and the moving average
If the chosen condition signals increased activity or market change, the moving-average base updates normally. Otherwise, the previous base value is retained, effectively smoothing the trend structure and filtering minor fluctuations.
Volatility bands are then calculated around this adaptive base using ATR multiplied by a configurable factor. Trend changes occur when price crosses these bands.
When price breaks above the upper band, a bullish trend is activated and the lower band becomes the trailing support. When price breaks below the lower band, a bearish trend is activated and the upper band acts as trailing resistance.
⚙️ Key Features
• Adaptive moving-average baseline
• Multiple MA types including SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, and EWMA
• ATR-based volatility bands
• Multiple adaptation modes (volatility, momentum, volume, divergence)
• Reduced noise during consolidation phases
• Smooth trend visualization and transition markers

Adaptive MA SuperTrendAdaptive MA SuperTrend
Adaptive MA SuperTrend is a trend-following overlay indicator designed to deliver smoother and more responsive signals than the classical SuperTrend by dynamically combining two moving averages with volatility-based band calculations.
Instead of relying on a single average, the script calculates a selectable pair of moving averages and continuously assigns them as the upper or lower base depending on which value is greater at each bar. This adaptive swapping allows the structure to respond better to changing market conditions while preserving overall trend stability.
A volatility component is then added to the bases using either:
• Average True Range (ATR)
• Standard Deviation (SD)
The selected volatility measure is multiplied by a configurable factor to create adaptive bands around the moving-average bases. Price crossing these bands determines trend direction changes.
When price crosses above the upper band, the trend switches bullish and the lower band becomes the trailing support line. When price crosses below the lower band, the trend switches bearish and the upper band becomes the trailing resistance line. Only the active trend side is plotted to reduce visual noise and improve chart clarity.
Multiple moving-average pair options are provided, allowing users to choose combinations that match their preferred balance between smoothness and responsiveness, including SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, and ALMA-based combinations. Additional parameters are available when ALMA is selected.
⚙️ Key Features
• Adaptive swapping between two moving averages
• Choice of MA pairs with different responsiveness profiles
• ATR or Standard Deviation volatility bands
• Configurable volatility length and multiplier
• Optional ALMA tuning parameters
• Trend visualization with color-coded support/resistance lines
• Signal markers displayed on trend transitions
🧩 Inputs Overview
• Moving average pair selection
• Moving average length and price source
• Volatility method, length, and multiplier
• Optional ALMA offset and sigma parameters
📌 Usage Notes
• Designed to help visualize prevailing trend direction and potential trend shifts.
• Can be combined with confirmation tools or risk management rules within broader strategies.
• Signals are generated when price crosses volatility-adjusted moving-average bands; signals may update intrabar, especially on lower timeframes.
• This script is intended for analytical purposes and does not constitute financial advice. Users should test and validate performance within their own workflow before applying it to live trading.
ATR ZLEMA [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The ATR ZLEMA indicator identifies trend direction and reversal points using a Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) combined with volatility-adjusted dynamic trailing stops. It eliminates the inherent lag of traditional moving averages while incorporating Average True Range (ATR) volatility measurement to create adaptive support and resistance levels that automatically adjust to market conditions, with optional noise filtering to reduce whipsaws in choppy markets, helping traders and investors identify trend changes, maintain positions during trending markets, and exit when momentum shifts across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its zero-lag trend detection system combined with volatility-adaptive trailing stops, where the ZLEMA eliminates moving average lag while ATR-based bands provide dynamic support and resistance levels:
lag = math.floor((zlemaLength - 1) / 2)
rawZlema = ta.ema(source + (source - source ), zlemaLength)
The Zero Lag EMA calculation uses lag reduction through data compensation, adding the difference between current price and lagged price to eliminate the delay inherent in traditional exponential moving averages, providing faster response to trend changes while maintaining smoothness.
The script incorporates an optional ATR-based noise filter that prevents the ZLEMA from updating during insignificant price movements, helping to reduce false signals in choppy, range-bound markets:
if enableNoiseFilter
noiseThreshold = atr * noiseFilter
priceChange = math.abs(rawZlema - zlema)
if priceChange > noiseThreshold
zlema := rawZlema
First, the indicator calculates the Average True Range to measure current market volatility, then applies a user-defined multiplier to determine the distance of the trailing stop from the ZLEMA:
atr = ta.rma(ta.tr(true), atrLength)
atrBand = atr * atrMultiplier
Next, dynamic trend detection occurs through a state-based system where the indicator tracks whether the ZLEMA is above or below the ATR trailing line, automatically adjusting the trailing stop position:
if trend == 1
if zlema < zlemaATR
trend := -1
zlemaATR := zlema + atrBand
else
zlemaATR := math.max(zlemaATR, zlema - atrBand)
The ATR trailing line acts as a volatility-adjusted stop that follows the ZLEMA during trends but never moves against the trend direction. It ratchets upward with the ZLEMA in uptrends and ratchets downward in downtrends, creating a protective barrier that adapts to market volatility.
Finally, trend reversal signals are generated when the ZLEMA crosses the ATR trailing line, indicating a shift in market momentum:
bullSignal = trend == 1 and trend == -1
bearSignal = trend == -1 and trend == 1
This creates a volatility-adaptive trend-following system that combines ZLEMA with dynamic support/resistance levels and optional noise filtering, providing traders with responsive directional signals and automatic stop-loss levels that adjust to both price momentum and market volatility conditions.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Bullish Trend (Green): ZLEMA trading above ATR trailing line with indicator showing bullish color, indicating established upward momentum with zero-lag confirmation = Long/Buy opportunities
▶ Bearish Trend (Red): ZLEMA trading below ATR trailing line with indicator showing bearish color, indicating established downward momentum with zero-lag confirmation = Short/Sell opportunities
▶ ATR Trailing Line as Dynamic Support: In uptrends, the trailing line acts as volatility-adjusted support level that rises with ZLEMA, never declining = Use as potential stop-loss reference for long positions = ZLEMA holding above indicates trend strength and momentum continuation
▶ ATR Trailing Line as Dynamic Resistance: In downtrends, the trailing line acts as volatility-adjusted resistance level that falls with ZLEMA, never rising = Use as potential stop-loss reference for short positions = ZLEMA holding below indicates trend weakness and momentum continuation
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets for different trading styles and market conditions. "Default" provides balanced configuration suitable for swing trading on daily and 4-hour charts with standard ZLEMA and ATR periods, moderate multiplier, and moderate noise filtering that works across most market conditions. "Fast Response" delivers aggressive configuration designed for intraday trading and scalping on 5-minute to 1-hour charts with shorter ZLEMA period for quick trend detection, reduced ATR period for rapid volatility adaptation, tighter multiplier for early entries/exits, and minimal noise filtering for maximum responsiveness. This is ideal for active traders monitoring positions closely but expect more frequent signals and potential whipsaws in choppy conditions. "Smooth Trend" focuses on conservative configuration for position trading and long-term trend following on daily to weekly charts with extended ZLEMA period for smoother trend identification, longer ATR period for stable volatility measurement, wide multiplier to filter minor corrections, and aggressive noise filtering to ensure only strong sustained trends trigger signals. This is best for patient traders focused on major trend moves with fewer reversals.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of trend changes and zero-lag momentum shifts. "Bullish Trend" triggers when the ZLEMA crosses above the ATR trailing line and trend state changes from bearish to bullish, signaling potential long entry opportunities with lag-eliminated confirmation. "Bearish Trend" activates when the ZLEMA crosses below the ATR trailing line and trend state changes from bullish to bearish, signaling potential short entry or long exit points with immediate momentum detection. "Any Trend Change" provides a combined alert for any trend reversal regardless of direction, allowing traders to be notified of all zero-lag momentum shifts without setting up separate alerts. These notifications enable traders to capitalize on trend changes and protect positions without continuous chart monitoring, leveraging the indicator's zero-lag technology for faster trend change alerts.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast for identifying bullish versus bearish trends across various trading environments. The adjustable cloud fill transparency control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of the gradient area prominence between the ATR trailing line and ZLEMA, with higher transparency values (70-95) creating subtle background context without overwhelming the chart while lower values (20-40) produce bold, prominent trend zone emphasis for instant recognition. Optional bar coloring with adjustable transparency (0-100%) extends the trend color directly to the price bars themselves based on ZLEMA trend state, providing immediate visual reinforcement of current trend direction without requiring reference to the indicator lines.
Core IC 2.0
## 📌 NIFTY Weekly Option Seller — Core Regime & Risk Framework
This indicator is designed for **systematic weekly option selling on NIFTY**, focused on **Iron Condors (IC), Put Credit Spreads (PCS), and Call Credit Spreads (CCS)**.

MACD-V (Volatility Normalized MACD)Award-Winning Momentum Indicator by Alex Spiroglou (CMT Charles Dao Award & NAAIM Founders Award, 2022)
The classic MACD has powered trading decisions for decades, but it suffers from five major limitations that undermine consistency:
1- Readings are not comparable over time (absolute price dependency causes massive scale differences across decades)
2- Not comparable across markets or assets (e.g., stocks vs. forex vs. crypto)
3- No universal overbought/oversold levels
4- Excessive whipsaws in low-momentum/range-bound conditions
5- Lagging signals in high-momentum reversals (e.g., missing big chunks of V-shaped recoveries)
MACD-V solves all five issues by normalizing momentum against volatility instead of price.
Core Formula
MACD-V = (EMA(12) - EMA(26)) / ATR(26) × 100
This expresses momentum in units of Average True Range (ATR), creating a volatility-adjusted oscillator that remains mathematically meaningful and comparable:
-Analysts can use MACD-V across any timeframe:
-Across any asset class (stocks, forex, commodities, bonds, crypto)
-Over decades of history
Key Features & Benefits
Time-stable & cross-market comparable: A +100 reading today has the same meaning as +100 in the past years, regardless of asset or price level.
Universal extremes: ±150 captures ~95% of all readings across markets → extreme/stretched momentum.
Momentum Lifecycle Roadmap (objective framework):
+150 or < -150: Extreme / overstretched (high reversal risk)
+50 to +150 or -50 to -150: Strong directional momentum (rallying, retracing, rebounding, reversing)
-50 to +50: Neutral / low momentum / ranging (avoid most signals — high whipsaw zone)
Range Rules for regime context: In bullish regimes (price > 200 EMA), -50 to -150 becomes the practical oversold zone; readings below -100 are rare and often powerful buy setups. Opposite in bearish regimes.
Improved signal quality: Filter whipsaws in neutral zone, anticipate lag in extremes, prioritize high-probability crosses in strong-momentum bands.
MACD-V Histogram (MACD-VH): Normalized short-term momentum with extremes at ±40 for fast reversal detection.
Backtesting & strategy-friendly: Enables reliable historical analysis, cross-asset relative strength, and systematic rules
MACD-V transforms momentum from subjective art into objective, repeatable science — giving you consistent, actionable insights no matter what you're trading.
Use it standalone or layer with trend filters (e.g., 200 EMA), volume, or price action for even stronger edges.

Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator [ARJO]Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator
OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator is a visual analysis tool designed for traders observing NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) instruments, particularly those interested in options. It displays a trend-based oscillator in the lower chart pane and automatically calculates option strike prices , presenting them in an easy-to-read table. The indicator helps users observe trend changes and understand how option strikes might be selected based on current market conditions.
IT has a dashboard that shows you:
Where the trend might be heading (through the oscillator)
What option strikes align with the current price level
When trend transitions occurred
CONCEPTS
This indicator combines several technical analysis concepts in a beginner-friendly format:
1. Trend Observation (Chandelier Exit)
The indicator uses a method called "Chandelier Exit" which observes price volatility to identify potential trend directions. When the indicator shows green, it suggests an upward trend pattern; red suggests a downward pattern. These are reference points, not predictions.
2. Smoothed Price Movement
Raw price data can be noisy. This indicator applies mathematical smoothing (called "Ehlers 2-Pole filter") to reduce short-term fluctuations, making it easier to observe the underlying trend direction.
3. Momentum Oscillator
The oscillator (displayed as bars and lines in the lower pane) shows the difference between smoothed price and its moving average. Positive values suggest upward momentum; negative values suggest downward momentum . This is similar to how MACD or LBR works.
4. Strike Price Calculation
For option traders , the indicator automatically calculates:
ATM (At-The-Money): The strike price closest to the current underlying price
OTM (Out-of-The-Money): Strike prices at a distance from ATM, based on your settings
These calculations use standard rounding methods based on each instrument's official strike interval.
FEATURES
Visual Components:
Color-Coded Oscillator: Green/teal for potential uptrend, purple/red for potential downtrend
Histogram Display: Visual bars showing momentum strength
Chandelier Exit Lines: Plotted on the main price chart as reference levels
Information Table: Displays calculated strikes, timestamps, and optional tracking data
Supported Instruments:
Major indices: NIFTY, BANKNIFTY
Popular stocks: RELIANCE, HDFCBANK, ICICIBANK, INFY, TCS, SBIN, and more
Any NSE instrument (using manual strike interval setting)
Flexible Configuration:
Choose between "Sell Mode" and "Buy Mode" perspectives
Customize strike interval for any instrument
Adjust sensitivity of trend detection
Modify visual appearance (colors, table position, text size)
Track entry prices and observe P&L calculations (for reference only)
Features:
Automatic strike interval detection for predefined instruments
Manual override option for custom requirements
Real-time option premium fetching (where available)
Timestamp recording of trend transitions
Active trade highlighting based on current trend
HOW TO USE
Step 1: Adding the Indicator
Open your TradingView chart with an NSE instrument (e.g., NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, or any stock)

Default is 4 (means 4 strikes away from ATM)
Increase for further OTM strikes, decrease for closer strikes
Step 3: Understanding the Display
The Oscillator (Lower Pane):
Green/Teal Bars: Suggest bullish momentum characteristics
Purple/Red Bars: Suggest bearish momentum characteristics
Zero Line: The reference point - above suggests strength, below suggests weakness
Color Change: When the oscillator changes from red to green (or vice versa), it indicates a potential trend transition
Active Row Highlighting:
In Sell Mode: Green background on PUT row during uptrend, Red background on CALL row during downtrend
In Buy Mode: Green background on PUT row during downtrend, Red background on CALL row during uptrend
This helps you observe which strike aligns with the current trend direction
Visual Customization:
Change oscillator colors under "Color Settings"
Adjust table position, size, and transparency under "Table Settings"
Modify table colors to match your chart theme
NOTES FOR BEGINNERS
Start Simple: Use default settings first. Don't change too many parameters initially.
Paper Trade First: Observe the indicator for several days before considering any real trades. Note how often trend transitions occur and how strikes align.
Understand Your Instrument: Know the strike interval for your chosen stock/index. NIFTY/BANKNIFTY use 100, most stocks use 10, 20, or 50.
Timeframe Matters: The indicator behaves differently on different timeframes. A 5-minute chart will show more transitions than a 1-hour chart.
Use with Other Analysis: This indicator is one tool among many. Combine with price action, support/resistance, and volume analysis.
Don't Chase: Just because a transition occurs doesn't mean you must act. Observe the quality of the move.
Backtest Observations: Use TradingView's replay feature to observe how the indicator performed historically.
CONCLUSION
The Dynamic Strike Selection Indicator serves as an educational tool for observing trend-based oscillator patterns and understanding how option strikes might be mathematically selected based on current market conditions. It combines visual trend analysis with structured strike price calculations, helping users study the relationship between momentum patterns and option strike references.
The indicator is designed to enhance chart interpretation skills and provide transparency into strike selection methodologies. It does not predict future price movements or guarantee any outcomes.

Uptrend Pullback (High Winrate-ish) - RSI + EMA + ATR TrailUptrend Pullback Strategy (EMA Filter + RSI Reversal + ATR Trailing Stop)
Description
This strategy is designed for rising markets and trades long only. It uses a simple trend filter and a pullback entry:
Trend filter: An uptrend is defined when EMA(50) > EMA(200) and price is above EMA(200). Trades are allowed only under these conditions.
Entry (buy the dip): A long position is opened when RSI crosses up above a user-defined pullback level (default 40), suggesting a pullback is ending and momentum is recovering.
Exits:
Take profit: Close the position when RSI reaches an overbought level (default 70).
Risk management: A dynamic ATR-based trailing stop follows price upward to lock in gains.
Hard stop: An additional ATR-based stop acts as a safety net to limit downside risk.
Notes
Parameters (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) are fully configurable.
This is a demo/reference strategy for research and optimization; results depend strongly on the symbol and timeframe.
