Sessions Full Markets [TradingFinder] Forex Stocks Index 7 Time🔵 Introduction
In global financial markets, particularly in FOREX and stocks, precise timing of trading sessions plays a crucial role in the success of traders. Each trading session—Asian, European, and American—has its own unique characteristics in terms of volatility and trading volume.
The Asian session (Tokyo), Sydney session, Shanghai session, European session (London and Frankfurt), and American session (New York AM and New York PM) are examples of these trading sessions, each of which opens and closes at specific times.
This session indicator also includes a Time Convertor, enabling users to view FOREX market hours based on GMT, UTC, EST, and local time. Another valuable feature of this indicator is the automatic detection of Daylight Saving Time (DST), which automatically applies time changes for the New York, London, and Sydney sessions.
🔵 How to Use
The indicator also displays session times based on the exact opening and closing times for each geographic region. Users can utilize this indicator to view trading hours either locally or in UTC time, and if needed, set their own custom trading times.
Additionally, the session information table includes the start and end times of each session and whether they are open or closed. This functionality helps traders make better trading decisions by using accurate and precise time data.

Donchian Channels Osciliator with MA validationWhat's it all about?
This nifty little tool, the Donchian Channels Oscillator, helps you spot when a stock might be overbought or oversold. It's like a price detective, looking for clues in the historical data to figure out if it's time to buy or sell.
How does it work?
Think of it as a seesaw. When the price is way above the Donchian Channels, it's like the seesaw is tilted too far to one side. That might mean it's time to sell before it falls. On the other hand, if the price is way below the channels, it's like the seesaw is tilted too far to the other side. This could be a good sign to buy, as the price might be ready to bounce back.
Key Points:
Donchian Channels: These are like safety nets. They're calculated based on the highest and lowest prices over a certain period.
Oscillator: This is just a fancy word for a tool that swings back and forth. In this case, it swings between overbought and oversold zones.
EMA-Line: This is a smoothed-out version of the oscillator. It helps you see the overall trend more clearly.
How to Use It:
Add it to your chart: Find it in the indicator search bar.
Adjust settings: You can tweak the length of the Donchian Channels and the offset to fit your trading style.
Watch the swings: When the oscillator goes way up, it might be time to sell. When it goes way down, it might be time to buy. But always use this with other indicators for confirmation.
Remember: This is just a tool, not a magic crystal ball. Don't rely solely on it for trading decisions. Always do your own research and consider other factors.
Happy trading!

Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation [QuantAlgo]Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation by QuantAlgo 📈✨
Introducing the Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation , a comprehensive trend-following indicator designed to combine the smoothness of an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the volatility adjustments of Average True Range (ATR) and Standard Deviation. This synergy allows traders and investors to better identify market trends while accounting for volatility, delivering clearer signals in both trending and volatile market conditions. This indicator is suitable for traders and investors seeking to balance trend detection and volatility management, offering a robust and adaptable approach across various asset classes and timeframes.
💫 Core Concept and Innovation
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation brings together the trend-smoothing properties of the EMA and the volatility sensitivity of ATR and Standard Deviation. By using the EMA to track price movements over time, the indicator smooths out minor fluctuations while still providing valuable insights into overall market direction. However, market volatility can sometimes distort simple moving averages, so the ATR and Standard Deviation components dynamically adjust the trend signals, offering more nuanced insights into trend strength and reversals. This combination equips traders with a powerful tool to navigate unpredictable markets while minimizing false signals.
📊 Technical Breakdown and Calculations
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation relies on three key technical components:
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA forms the base of the trend detection. Unlike a Simple Moving Average (SMA), the EMA gives more weight to recent price changes, allowing it to react more quickly to new data. Users can adjust the length of the EMA to make it more or less responsive to price movements.
2. Standard Deviation Bands: These bands are calculated from the standard deviation of the EMA and represent dynamic volatility thresholds. The upper and lower bands expand or contract based on recent price volatility, providing more accurate signals in both calm and volatile markets.
3. ATR-Based Volatility Filter: The Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure market volatility over a user-defined period. It helps refine the trend signals by filtering out false positives caused by minor price swings. The ATR filter ensures that the indicator only signals significant market movements.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. EMA Calculation: First, the indicator calculates the EMA over a specified period based on the chosen price source (e.g., close, high, low).
2. Standard Deviation Bands: Then, it computes the standard deviation of the EMA and applies a multiplier to create upper and lower bands around the EMA. These bands adjust dynamically with the level of market volatility.
3. ATR Filtering: In addition to the standard deviation bands, the ATR is applied as a secondary filter to help refine the trend signals. This step helps eliminate signals generated by short-term price spikes or corrections, ensuring that the signals are more reliable.
4. Trend Detection: When the price crosses above the upper band, a bullish trend is identified, while a move below the lower band signals a bearish trend. The system accounts for both the standard deviation and ATR bands to generate these signals.
✅ Customizable Inputs and Features
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation provides a range of customizable options to fit various trading/investing styles:
📈 Trend Settings:
1. Price Source: Choose the price type (e.g., close, high, low) to base the EMA calculation on, influencing how the trend is tracked.
2. EMA Length: Adjust the length to control how quickly the EMA reacts to price changes. A shorter length provides a more responsive EMA, while a longer period smooths out short-term fluctuations.
🌊 Volatility Controls:
1. Standard Deviation Multiplier: This parameter controls the sensitivity of the trend detection by adjusting the distance between the upper and lower bands from the EMA.
2. TR Length and Multiplier: Fine-tune the ATR settings to control how volatility is filtered, adjusting the indicator’s responsiveness during high or low volatility phases.
🎨 Visualization and Alerts:
1. Bar Coloring: Select different colors for uptrends and downtrends, providing a clear visual cue when trends change.
2. Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when the price crosses the upper or lower bands, signaling a potential long or short trend shift. Alerts can help you stay informed without constant chart monitoring.
📈 Practical Applications
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is ideal for traders and investors looking to balance trend-following strategies with volatility management. Key uses include:
Detecting Trend Reversals: The dynamic bands help identify when the market shifts direction, providing clear signals when a trend reversal is likely.
Filtering Market Noise: By applying both Standard Deviation and ATR filtering, the indicator helps reduce false signals during periods of heightened volatility.
Volatility-Based Risk Management: The adaptability of the bands ensures that traders can manage risk more effectively by responding to shifts in volatility while keeping focus on long-term trends.
⭐️ Comprehensive Summary
The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is a highly customizable indicator that provides traders with clearer signals for trend detection and volatility management. By dynamically adjusting its calculations based on market conditions, it offers a powerful tool for navigating both trending and volatile markets. Whether you're looking to detect early trend reversals or avoid false signals during periods of high volatility, this indicator gives you the flexibility and accuracy to improve your trading and investing strategies.
Note: The Adaptive EMA with ATR and Standard Deviation is designed to enhance your market analysis but should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trading or investing decisions. Always combine it with other analytical tools and practices. No statements or signals from this indicator constitute financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
ATR, Chop, Profit Target and Stop Loss TableThe ATR Table indicator is a versatile tool that helps traders visually and quantitatively manage risk, identify market conditions, and set profit targets and stop-loss levels. It is designed to enhance decision-making by incorporating key volatility and chop (market consolidation) signals into a comprehensive table format.
Key Features:
Average True Range (ATR) Calculation : The indicator computes the ATR over a user-defined period (default 14). ATR helps to measure market volatility, providing insights into how much an asset's price typically moves within a given period.
Stop Loss and Profit Target Calculation : You can configure stop-loss and profit target levels using multipliers based on the ATR. This allows dynamic risk management that adjusts to market volatility:
Stop Loss : Defined as a multiple of the ATR to help control losses.
Profit Target : Also based on a multiple of the ATR to lock in gains. The user can specify whether they are trading long or short, and the indicator adjusts the levels accordingly.
Customizable Plot Lines : The indicator can display the Stop Loss and Profit Target levels directly on the chart. Users can toggle these lines on or off and customize their colors.
Chop Signa l: The indicator highlights potential consolidation periods (chop) using a wick-based analysis. It calculates the highest upper or lower wick values and compares them to the ATR to detect periods of indecision or consolidation.
Table Display : When these wick values exceed the ATR by a user-defined multiplier, the corresponding table rows are highlighted.
Background Alerts : Optionally, users can activate background color changes on the chart to visually alert them when chop conditions are detected.
Customizable Table Layout : A table displaying the key values (ATR, Stop Loss, Profit Target, Upper/Lower Wickiness) is placed on the chart. You can choose the table's position, adjust its color scheme, and decide which rows to display.
Chop Background Customization : For users who prefer more visual cues, the indicator allows you to enable or disable background shading when chop conditions are met. You can also choose the color of this background for better customization.
PnF Fibonacci Levels with AlertsMy Pine Script indicator, "PnF Fibonacci Levels with Alerts," overlays on a trading chart to generate alerts based on Fibonacci levels in Point and Figure (PnF) charts.
Key Features:

This indicator provides an effective way to track key price levels and potential trend reversals in the market.
D_Rock's MA IndicatorD_Rock's Moving Average Indicator
This is an indicator version of my strategy linked here
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this indicator is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This indicator can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy is to enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points before a signal is generated along with the ability to show multiple moving averages on the chart if you choose. Each moving average pair can also be turned into a "cloud" instead of the traditional lines, for additional viewing preferences. Just about everything visual can be toggled on/off as well.
This indicator is a Trend (MA) indicator with optional confirmation points using a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
If you would like to see the backtesting results for your favorite moving average crossover/under, please see my strategy version linked here .
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal
[TTM] ICT Key Levels🌟 Overview 🌟
This tool highlights key price levels, such as highs, lows, and session opens, that can influence market moves. Based on ICT concepts, these levels help traders spot potential areas for market reversals or trend continuations.
🌟 Key Levels 🌟
🔹 Week Open (00:00 EST)
Marks the start of the trading week. This level helps track price direction and is useful for framing the Weekly candle formation using ICT’s Power of 3.
🔹 Midnight Open (00:00 EST)
The Midnight Open (MNOP) marks the start of the new trading day. Price often retraces to this level for liquidity grabs, setting up larger moves in the daily trend. It's also key for framing the Daily Power of 3 and spotting possible market manipulation.
🔹 New York Stock Exchange Open (09:30 EST)
The NYSE Open is a major liquidity event, where price seeks liquidity from earlier in the day, like stop hunts or retracements to the London or Midnight Open. This time often brings reversals or trend continuations as volatility increases.
🔹 Previous Day High/Low
These levels show where liquidity rests, often serving as targets for price revisits, ideal for reversals or continuation trades.
🔹 Previous Week High/Low
Similar to daily levels but on a larger scale. They help identify swing trades and track broader market trends.
🔹 Previous Month High/Low
These monthly levels are important for long-term traders, as price often aims to clear them before setting new trends or market cycles.

Bullish On Neck Candlestick patternExplanation:
1. Bullish Large Candle: The first candle is defined as bullish, where the closing price is much higher than the opening price. It also needs to have a large body (at least 60% of the total candle height).
2. Small Bearish Candle: The second candle is bearish and closes near the high of the previous bullish candle, with a relatively small body.
3. Bullish On Neck Detection: The script looks for this pattern where the bullish large candle is followed by a smaller bearish candle that closes near the first candle's high, indicating potential for a bullish breakout.
4. Plot: When the pattern is detected, the script places a green triangle above the bar to signal the bullish on neck pattern.
Adaptive Smooth EMA [MacroGlide]Adaptive Smooth EMA is a powerful indicator designed to track and smooth market prices using Adaptive Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with dynamic phase adjustment. This tool helps traders analyze price trends and identify shifts in market momentum, making it easier to recognize potential reversals and trend continuations.
Key Features:
• Adaptive EMA Calculation: The indicator calculates multiple EMAs with adaptive smoothing based on volatility, allowing traders to capture the market's movement more accurately. These smoothed values adjust dynamically with the market, making trend detection more precise.
• Dynamic Phase Adjustment: The phase of the EMA is adjusted in real-time according to the market's volatility, ensuring that the smoothing remains responsive to changes in market conditions, reducing lag and enhancing signal clarity.
• Customizable Color Gradients: The indicator uses color gradients to visually distinguish between uptrends and downtrends, making it easier to spot shifts in market direction. Users can customize the color scheme for better visual representation and interpretation.
How to Use:
• Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the EMA length and phase adjustment settings according to your trading strategy.
• Monitor the color shifts to quickly identify potential changes in trend direction. The transition between the uptrend and downtrend colors can signal momentum shifts.
• Utilize the different EMA lengths to analyze short-term and long-term trends. The smaller EMAs will react quicker to price changes, while the longer ones provide a smoother view of the overall trend.
Methodology:
The Adaptive Smooth EMA indicator computes multiple EMAs with lengths ranging from 3 to 90 periods, dynamically adjusting the phase based on market volatility. This adaptive approach allows the indicator to respond effectively to both calm and volatile market conditions, providing a more accurate reflection of current trends. By smoothing the price data while maintaining responsiveness to market changes, the indicator helps traders avoid false signals and make more informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness:
Adaptive Smooth EMA stands out due to its ability to dynamically adjust to market conditions, offering an adaptive smoothing approach that reduces noise while capturing essential price movements. This makes it particularly useful for identifying trends, reversals, and optimizing entry and exit points in a trading strategy.

KAMA CloudDescription:
The KAMA Cloud indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed to provide traders with insights into market trends and their intensity. This indicator is built on the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), which dynamically adjusts its sensitivity to filter out market noise and respond to significant price movements. The KAMA Cloud leverages multiple KAMAs to gauge trend direction and strength, offering a visual representation that is easy to interpret.
How It Works:
The KAMA Cloud uses twenty different KAMA calculations, each set to a distinct lookback period ranging from 5 to 100. These KAMAs are calculated using the average of the open, high, low, and close prices (OHLC4), ensuring a balanced view of price action. The relative positioning of these KAMAs helps determine the direction of the market trend and its momentum.
By measuring the cumulative relative distance between these KAMAs, the indicator effectively assesses the overall trend strength, akin to how the Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility. This cumulative measure helps in identifying the trend’s robustness and potential sustainability.
The visualization component of the KAMA Cloud is particularly insightful. It plots a 'cloud' formed between the base KAMA (set at a 100-period lookback) and an adjusted KAMA that incorporates the cumulative relative distance scaled up. This cloud changes color based on the trend direction — green for upward trends and red for downward trends, providing a clear, visual representation of market conditions.
Benefits:
Dynamic Sensitivity: By adapting to the market's volatility, KAMA provides more reliable signals than traditional moving averages.
Trend Clarity: The color-coded cloud visually enhances the perception of the trend’s direction and strength, making it easier for traders to decide on their trading strategy.
Versatility: Suitable for various asset classes, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, across different timeframes.
Decision Support: Helps traders understand not just the direction but the strength of trends, aiding in more informed decision-making regarding entries, exits, and risk management.
Usage:
The KAMA Cloud is ideal for traders who need a robust trend-following tool that adjusts according to market dynamics. It can be used as a standalone indicator or in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to enhance trading strategies. Look for the cloud’s color shifts as potential signals for trend reversals or continuations, and consider the cloud’s thickness as an indication of trend strength.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the KAMA Cloud offers a unique approach to understanding market trends, helping you navigate the complexities of various market conditions with confidence.

Cypher Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Cypher Pattern Detector🔵 Introduction
The Cypher Pattern is one of the most accurate and advanced harmonic patterns, introduced by Darren Oglesbee. The Cypher pattern, utilizing Fibonacci ratios and geometric price analysis, helps traders identify price reversal points with high precision. This pattern consists of five key points (X, A, B, C, and D), each playing an important role in determining entry and exit points in the financial markets.
The reversal point typically occurs in the XD region, with the Fibonacci ratio ranging between 0.768 and 0.886. This zone is referred to as the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where traders anticipate price changes to occur.
The Cypher harmonic pattern is popular among professional traders due to its high accuracy in identifying market trends and reversal points. The pattern appears in two forms: bullish Cypher pattern and bearish Cypher pattern.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, after a price correction, the price moves upward, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, the price moves downward after a temporary increase. These patterns help traders use technical analysis to identify strong reversal points in the PRZ and execute more optimal trades.
Bullish Cypher Pattern :
Bearish Cypher Pattern :
🔵 How to Use
The Cypher pattern is one of the most complex and precise harmonic patterns, leveraging Fibonacci ratios to help traders identify price reversals. This pattern is comprised of five key points, each playing a critical role in determining entry and exit points.
The Cypher pattern appears in two main types :
Bullish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as an M shape on the chart and indicates a trend reversal to the upside after a price correction. Traders can prepare for buying after identifying this pattern in technical analysis.
Bearish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as a W shape and signals the start of a downtrend after a temporary price increase. Traders can use this pattern to enter short positions.
🟣 How to Identify the Cypher Pattern on a Chart
Identifying the Cypher pattern requires precision and the use of advanced technical analysis tools. The pattern consists of four main legs, each identified using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis.
To spot the Cypher pattern on a chart, first, identify the five key points : X, A, B, C, and D.
XA leg : The initial move from point X to A.
AB leg : The first correction after the XA move, where the price moves to point B.
BC leg : After the correction, the price moves upwards to point C.
CD leg : The final price move that reaches point D, where a price reversal is expected.
In a bullish Cypher pattern, point D indicates the start of a new uptrend, while in a bearish Cypher pattern, point D signals the beginning of a downtrend. Correctly identifying these points helps traders determine the best time to enter a trade.
🟣 How to Trade Using the Cypher Pattern
Once the Cypher pattern is identified on the chart, traders can use it to set entry and exit points. Point D is the key point for trade entry. In the bullish Cypher pattern, the trader can enter a long position after point D forms, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, point D serves as the ideal point for entering a short position.
🟣 Entering a Buy Trade with the Bullish Cypher Pattern
In a bullish Cypher pattern, traders wait for the price to reach point D, after which they can enter a buy position. At this point, the price is expected to start rising.
🟣 Entering a Sell Trade with the Bearish Cypher Pattern
In a bearish Cypher pattern, the trader enters a sell position at point D, expecting the price to move downward after reaching this point. For additional confirmation, traders can use technical indicators such as RSI or MACD.
🟣 Risk Management in Cypher Pattern Trades
Risk management is one of the most critical aspects of any trade, and this holds true for trading the Cypher pattern. Traders should always use stop-loss orders to prevent larger losses in case the pattern fails.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is usually placed slightly below point D to exit the trade if the price continues to drop.
In the bearish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is placed above point D to limit losses if the price rises unexpectedly.
🟣 Combining the Cypher Pattern with Other Technical Tools
The Cypher pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, but combining it with other methods such as price action and technical indicators can improve trading accuracy.
🟣 Combining with Price Action
Traders can use price action to confirm the Cypher pattern. Candlestick patterns like reversal candlesticks can provide additional confirmation for price reversals at point D.
🟣 Using Technical Indicators
Incorporating technical indicators such as RSI and MACD can also help traders receive stronger signals for entering trades based on the Cypher pattern. These indicators help identify overbought or oversold conditions, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
🟣 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cypher Pattern in Technical Analysis
Advantages :
High accuracy : The Cypher pattern, using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis, provides high precision in identifying reversal points.
Applicable in various markets : This pattern can be used in a wide range of financial markets, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
Disadvantages :
Rarit y: The Cypher pattern appears less frequently on charts compared to other harmonic patterns.
Complexity : Accurately identifying this pattern requires significant experience, which may be challenging for novice traders.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Cypher harmonic pattern is one of the most powerful and accurate patterns used in technical analysis. Its high precision in identifying price reversal points, particularly within the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), has made it a popular tool among professional traders. The PRZ, located between the Fibonacci ratios of 0.768 and 0.886 in the XD region, offers traders a clear indication of where price reversals are likely to occur.
However, to use this pattern successfully, traders must employ proper risk management and combine it with supplementary tools like technical indicators and price action. By understanding how to utilize the PRZ, traders can enhance the accuracy of their trade entries and exits.
Ultimately, the Cypher pattern, when used in conjunction with the PRZ, helps traders make more precise decisions in the financial markets, leading to more successful and well-informed trades.
Prometheus Topological Persistent EntropyPersistence Entropy falls under the branch of math topology. Topology is a study of shapes as they twist and contort. It can be useful in the context of markets to determine how volatile they may be and different from the past.
The key idea is to create a persistence diagram from these log return segments. The persistence diagram tracks the "birth" and "death" of price features:
A birth occurs when a new price pattern or feature emerges in the data.
A death occurs when that pattern disappears.
By comparing prices within each segment, the script tracks how long specific price features persist before they die out. The lifetime of each feature (difference between death and birth) represents how robust or fleeting the pattern is. Persistent price features tend to reflect stable trends, while shorter-lived features indicate volatility.
Entropy Calculation: The lifetimes of these patterns are then used to compute the entropy of the system. Entropy, in this case, measures the amount of disorder or randomness in the price movements. The more varied the lifetimes, the higher the entropy, indicating a more volatile market. If the price patterns exhibit longer, more consistent lifetimes, the entropy is lower, signaling a more stable market.
Calculation:
We start by getting log returns for a user defined look back value. In the compute_persistent_entropy function we separate the overall log returns into windows. We then compute persistence diagrams of the windows. It tracks the birth and death of price patterns to see how persistent they are. Then we calculate the entropy of the windows.
After we go through that process we get an array of entropies, we then smooth it by taking the sum of all of them and dividing it by how many we have so the indicator can function better.
// Calculate log returns
log_returns = array.new()
for i = 1 to lgr_lkb
array.push(log_returns, math.log(close / close ))
// Function to compute a simplified persistence diagram
compute_persistence_diagram(segment) =>
n = array.size(segment)
lifetimes = array.new()
for i = 0 to n - 1
for j = i + 1 to n - 1
birth = array.get(segment, i)
death = array.get(segment, j-1)
if birth != death
array.push(lifetimes, math.abs(death - birth))
lifetimes
// Function to compute entropy of a list of values
compute_entropy(values) =>
n = array.size(values)
if n == 0
0.0
else
freq_map = map.new()
total_sum = 0.0
for i = 0 to n - 1
value = array.get(values, i)
//freq_map := freq_map.get(value, 0.0) + 1
map.put(freq_map, value, value + 1)
total_sum += 1
entropy = 0.0
for in freq_map
p = count / total_sum
entropy -= p * math.log(p)
entropy
compute_persistent_entropy(log_returns, window_size) =>
n = (lgr_lkb) - (2 * window_size) + 1
entropies = array.new()
for i = 0 to n - 1
segment1 = array.new()
segment2 = array.new()
for j = 0 to window_size - 1
array.push(segment1, array.get(log_returns, i + j))
array.push(segment2, array.get(log_returns, i + window_size + j))
dgm1 = compute_persistence_diagram(segment1)
dgm2 = compute_persistence_diagram(segment2)
combined_diagram = array.concat(dgm1, dgm2)
entropy = compute_entropy(combined_diagram)
array.push(entropies, entropy)
entropies
//---------------------------------------------
//---------------PE----------------------------
//---------------------------------------------
// Calculate Persistent Entropy
entropies = compute_persistent_entropy(log_returns, window_size)
smooth_pe = array.sum(entropies) / array.size(entropies)
This image illustrates how the indicator works for traders. The purple line is the actual indicator value. The line that changes from green to red is a SMA of the indicator value, we use this to determine bullish or bearish. When the smoothed persistence entropy is above it’s SMA that signals bearishness.
The indicator tends to look prettier on higher time frames, we see NASDAQ:TSLA on a 4 hour here and below we see it on the 5 minute.
On a lower time frame it looks a little weird but still functions the same way.
Prometheus encourages users to use indicators as tools along with their own discretion. No indicator is 100% accurate. We encourage comments about requested features and criticism.

SMI Ergodic Indicator/Oscillator of Money Flow Index▮ Introduction
The Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic (SMII) indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to predict trend reversals in the price of an asset.
It functions as a momentum oscillator, measuring the ratio of the smoothed price change to the smoothed absolute price change over a given number of previous periods.
The Ergodic SMI is based on the True Strength Index (TSI) and integrates a signal line, which is an exponential moving average (EMA) of the SMI indicator itself.
The Ergodic SMI oscillator provides a clearer picture of market trends than the traditional stochastic oscillator by incorporating the concept of 'ergodicity', which helps remove market noise.
On ther other hand, MFI (Money Flow Index) is a technical analysis indicator used to measure the inflow of money into an asset and thus help identify buying and selling pressure in a given financial instrument.
When these two indicators are combined, they can provide a more comprehensive view of price direction and market strength.
▮ Motivation: why another indicator?
By combining SMII with MFI, we can gain even more insights into the market.
One way to do this is to use the MFI as an input to the SMII, rather than just using price.
This means we are measuring momentum based on buying and selling pressure rather than just price.
Furthermore, there is the possibility of making several fine adjustments to both the calculation and visualization parameters that are not present in other indicators.
▮ What to look for
When using the SMII MFI indicator, there are a few things to look out for.
First, look at the SMII signal line.
When the line crosses above -40, it is considered a buy signal, while the crossing below +40 is considered a sell signal.
Also, pay attention to divergences between the SMII and the price.
If price is rising but the SMII is showing negative divergence, it could indicate that momentum is waning and a reversal could be in the offing.
Likewise, if price is falling but the SMII is showing positive divergence, this could indicate that momentum is building and a reversal could also be in the offing.
Divergences can be considered in both indicator and/or histogram.
Examples:
▮ Notes
The indicator presented here offers both the 'SMII' and the 'SMIO', that is, the 'Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Indicator' together with the 'Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Oscillator' (histogram), as per the documentation described in reference links.
So it is important to highlight the differences in relation to my other indicator, the 'Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) of Money Flow Index (MFI)':
This last one is purely based on the SMI , which is implemented using SMA smoothing for the relative range and the high/low range.
Although they may seem the same in some situations, the calculation is actually different. The TSI tends to be more responsive at the expense of being noisier, while the SMI tends to be smoother. Which of these two indicators is best depends on the situation, the context, and the analyst's personal preference.
