Advanced Stochastic Price Forecaster - JaysalgohutAbout This Indicator:
The advanced stochastic forecaster comprises of a stochastic oscillator with a key component that forecasts the necessary price level for the stochastics to reverse direction. Knowing information of what price levels are required for momentum to flip up or flip down is crucial in determining a bias for a trader and the advanced stochastics forecaster fits all the checkboxes. Not only that, the stochastics background changes colour in the presence of a bull or bear bias using fibonacci zones too.
The info-box at the right side has information on the price level required to flip stochastics, bull bear bias, and a flashing buy/sell signal based on our secret configuration to add to trading confluence. To make this indicator even more irresistible we have included a correlation coefficient histogram which spots deviations in the oscillator direction and price direction, giving traders the edge they require in a highly efficient market where edge is slim.

Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell IndicatorThe "Multi-Divergence Buy/Sell Indicator" is a technical analysis tool that combines multiple divergence signals from different indicators to identify potential buy and sell opportunities in the market. Here's a breakdown of how the indicator works and how to use it:
Input Parameters:
RSI Length: Specifies the length of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) calculation.
MACD Short Length: Specifies the short-term length for the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation.
MACD Long Length: Specifies the long-term length for the MACD calculation.
MACD Signal Smoothing: Specifies the smoothing length for the MACD signal line calculation.
Stochastic Length: Specifies the length of the Stochastic oscillator calculation.
Stochastic Overbought Level: Defines the overbought level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Stochastic Oversold Level: Defines the oversold level for the Stochastic oscillator.
Calculation of Indicators:
RSI: Calculates the RSI based on the specified RSI Length.
MACD: Calculates the MACD line, signal line, and histogram based on the specified MACD parameters.
Stochastic: Calculates the Stochastic oscillator based on the specified Stochastic parameters.
Divergence Detection:
RSI Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the RSI crosses above its 14-period simple moving average (SMA).
MACD Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the MACD line crosses above the signal line.
Stochastic Divergence: Identifies a bullish divergence when the Stochastic crosses above its 14-period SMA.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
Buy Condition: Triggers a buy signal when all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) occur simultaneously.
Sell Condition: Triggers a sell signal when both RSI and MACD divergences occur, but Stochastic divergence does not occur.
Plotting Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator plots green "Buy" labels below the price bars when the buy condition is met.
It plots red "Sell" labels above the price bars when the sell condition is met.
Usage:
The indicator can be used on any timeframe and for any trading instrument.
Look for areas where all three divergences (RSI, MACD, and Stochastic) align to generate stronger buy and sell signals.
Consider additional technical analysis and risk management strategies to validate the signals and manage your trades effectively.
Remember, no indicator guarantees profitable trades, so it's essential to use this indicator in conjunction with other tools and perform thorough analysis before making trading decisions.

SMI Ergodic Indicator/Oscillator▮ Introduction
The Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Indicator (SMII) 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.
It 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, the Stochastic Momentum Index Ergodic Oscillator (SMIO) is a histogram that measures the difference between TSI and it's signal line.
By default, in TradingView both SMII and SMIO are provided independently.
Here in this script these two indicators are combined, providing a more comprehensive view of price direction and market strength.
▮ Motivation: why another indicator?
The intrinsic value of this indicator lies in the fact that it allows fine adjustments in both calculation parameters, data source and visualization, features that are not present in the standard indicators or similar.
Also, trend lines breakouts and divergences detector were added.
▮ What to look for
When using the indicator, there are a few things to look out for.
First, look at the SMI 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 SMI and the price.
If price is rising but the SMI 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 SMI 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, Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Refurbished .
This last one is purely based on the **SMI**, which is implemented using smoothed ratio between 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.

Stochastic Trendlines with Breakouts [Jamshid] - EnhancedStochastic Trendlines with Breakouts - Enhanced Version
This advanced Stochastic Trendlines with Breakouts script combines several powerful features to provide enhanced breakout detection based on the Stochastic Oscillator and additional confirmation signals. This script is designed to help traders identify key trend reversals, breakout points, and pivot levels with more accuracy by integrating advanced filters such as RSI confirmation, moving average trend filtering, volatility filtering, divergence detection, and multi-timeframe analysis.
Key Features:
Stochastic Oscillator-Based Breakouts:
Automatically detects breakouts based on the smoothed Stochastic Oscillator values (%K and %D), providing insights into overbought and oversold conditions.
Customizable overbought and oversold levels, with a mid-level (50) line for additional reference.
Trendlines on Pivot Points:
Automatically plots dynamic trendlines based on pivot highs and lows of the smoothed Stochastic %K, helping to visualize potential reversal points.
RSI Confirmation (Optional):
Filters breakout signals using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to confirm breakouts only when the RSI is below 50 for downtrend breakouts and above 50 for uptrend breakouts.
Visual confirmation with a green "RSI Conf." label displayed on the chart when the RSI condition is met.
Moving Average Filter (Optional):
Confirms breakout signals in the direction of a user-defined Moving Average (MA) to trade in the overall market trend direction.
MA length is fully customizable.
Stochastic Divergence Filter (Optional):
Detects bullish or bearish divergence between the price and Stochastic Oscillator values, adding an extra layer of confirmation.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (Optional):
Confirms breakouts by checking the Stochastic %K and %D values from a higher timeframe. This helps in avoiding false signals by aligning with the broader market trend.
The higher timeframe can be customized to any timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly, etc.).
Volatility Filter (Optional):
Uses the ATR (Average True Range) to filter out breakouts during periods of low volatility, ensuring signals are only triggered when there is sufficient price movement.
ATR length and multiplier are fully customizable.
Custom Alerts:
Alerts are available for new trendline detections (both pivot high and pivot low) and for confirmed breakout signals. These alerts help traders stay informed in real-time without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
How to Use:
Customize the Stochastic Oscillator settings, such as %K smoothing and %D line parameters, to fit your trading strategy.
Enable or disable additional filtering features (RSI, MA, divergence, MTF, volatility) as needed.
Set up alerts for specific breakout conditions directly in TradingView to stay notified when breakout signals are triggered.
This script is designed for traders who are looking for precision breakout signals with added layers of confirmation to avoid false breakouts and enhance trading accuracy.

Theta Shield | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Theta Shield indicator! Theta is the options risk factor concerning how fast there is a decline in the value of an option over time. This indicator aims to help the trader avoid sideways market phases in the current ticker, to minimize the risk of theta decay. For more information, please check the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new Theta Shield Indicator :
Foresight Of Accumulation Zones
Decrease Risk Of Theta Decay
Clear "Valid" & "Non-Valid" Signals
Validness Trail
Alerts
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
In options trading, theta is defined as the rate of decline in the value of an option due to the passage of time. Traders want to avoid this kind of decay in the value of an option. One of the best ways to avoid it is not holding an option contract when the market is going sideways. This indicator uses a stochastic oscillator to try to get a foresight of sideways markets, warning the trader to not hold an option contract while the price is in a range.
The indicator starts by calculating the stochastic value using close, high & low prices of the candlesticks. Then a stoch threshold & a theta length are determined depending on the option contract type defined by the user in the settings of the indicator. Each candlestick that falls above or below the stoch threshold value is counted, and a "theta valid strength" is calculated using the counted candlesticks, which has a value between -100 & 100. Here is the formula of the "theta valid strength" value :
f_lin_interpolate(float x0, float x1, float y0, float y1, float x) =>
y0 + (x - x0) * (y1 - y0) / (x1 - x0)
thetaValid = Total Candlesticks That Fall Above & Below The Threshold In Last "Theta Length" bars.
thetaValidStrength = f_lin_interpolate(0, thetaLength, -100, 100, thetaValid)
Then a trail is rendered, and "Valid" & "Non-Valid" signals are given using this freshly calculated strength value. Valid means that the indicator currently thinks that no accumulation will happen in the near future, so the option positions in the current ticker are protected from the theta decay. Non-Valid means that the indicator thinks the ticker has entered the accumulation phase, so holding any option position is not recommended, as they may be affected by the theta decay.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator offers a unique way to avoid theta decay in options trading. It uses a stochastic oscillator and thresholds to calculate a "theta strength" value, which is used for rendering validness signals and a trail. Traders can follow the valid & non-valid signals when deciding to hold their options position or not. The indicator also has an alerts feature, so you can get notified when a ticker is about to enter a range, or when it's about to get out of it.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Contract Type -> You can set the option contract type here. The indicator will adjust itself to get a better foresight depending on the contract length.
2. Style
Fill Validness -> Will render a trail based on "theta strength" value.
MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal StrategyOverview
The MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal Strategy utilizes MACD indicator in conjunction with 1 day timeframe Stochastic indicators to obtain the high probability short-term trend reversal signals. The main idea is to wait until MACD line crosses up it’s signal line, at the same time Stochastic indicator on 1D time frame shall show the uptrend (will be discussed in methodology) and not to be in the oversold territory. Strategy works on time frames from 30 min to 4 hours and opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Higher time frame confirmation: Strategy utilizes 1D Stochastic to establish the major trend and confirm the local reversals with the higher probability.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
MACD line of MACD indicator shall cross over the signal line of MACD indicator.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line shall be above the D line.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line value shall be below 80 (not overbought)
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 3.25, value multiplied by ATR to be subtracted from position entry price to setup stop loss)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 4.25, value multiplied by ATR to be added to position entry price to setup trailing profit activation level)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20, period for EMA, when price reached trailing profit activation level EMA will stop out of position if price closes below it)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart, in our example we use default settings.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages 2 time frames analysis to have the high probability reversal setups on lower time frame in the direction of the 1D time frame trend. That’s why it’s recommended to use this strategy on 30 min – 4 hours time frames.
To have an approximation of 1D time frame trend strategy utilizes classical Stochastic indicator. The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period. It's used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 80 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 20 indicating oversold conditions.
It consists of two lines:
%K: The main line, calculated using the formula (CurrentClose−LowestLow)/(HighestHigh−LowestLow)×100 . Highest and lowest price taken for 14 periods.
%D: A smoothed moving average of %K, often used as a signal line.
Strategy logic assumes that on 1D time frame it’s uptrend in %K line is above the %D line. Moreover, we can consider long trade only in %K line is below 80. It means that in overbought state the long trade will not be opened due to higher probability of pullback or even major trend reversal. If these conditions are met we are going to our working (lower) time frame.
On the chosen time frame, we remind you that for correct work of this strategy you shall use 30min – 4h time frames, MACD line shall cross over it’s signal line. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular momentum and trend-following indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD consists of three components:
MACD Line: This is the difference between a short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a long-term EMA, typically calculated as: MACD Line=12-period EMA−26-period
Signal Line: This is a 9-period EMA of the MACD Line, which helps to identify buy or sell signals. When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line, it can be a bullish signal (suggesting a buy); when it crosses below, it can be a bearish signal (suggesting a sell).
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line, visually representing the momentum of the trend. Positive histogram values indicate increasing bullish momentum, while negative values indicate increasing bearish momentum.
In our script we are interested in only MACD and signal lines. When MACD line crosses signal line there is a high chance that short-term trend reversed to the upside. We use this strategy on 45 min time frame.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements.

TradeBuilderOverview
TradeBuilder is an ever-growing toolbox that lets you combine and compound any number of bundled indicators and algorithms to create a compound strategy. At launch, we're including two Moving Averages (SMA, EMA), RSI, and Stochastic Oscillator, with many more to come. You can use any combination of indicators, be it just one, two, or all.
Key Concepts
Indicator Integration: Tradebuilder allows the use of Moving Averages, RSI, and Stochastic Oscillators, with customizable parameters for each. More indicators to come.
Mode Selection : Choose between Confirm Trend Mode (using indicators to confirm trends) and Momentum Mode (using indicators to spot reversals).
Trade Flexibility : Offers options for both long and short trades, enabling diverse trading strategies.
Customizable Inputs : Easily toggle indicators on or off and adjust specific settings like periods and thresholds.
Signal Generation : Combines multiple conditions to generate entry and exit signals.
Input Parameters:
Moving Average (MA):
use_ma : Enable this to include the Moving Average in your strategy.
ma_cross_type : Choose between "Close/MA" (price crossing the MA) or "MA/MA" (one MA crossing another).
ma_length : Set the period for the primary MA.
ma_type : Choose between "SMA" (Simple Moving Average) or "EMA" (Exponential Moving Average).
ma_length2 : Set the period for the secondary MA if using the "MA/MA" cross type.
ma_type2 : Set the type for the secondary MA.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
use_rsi : Enable this to include RSI in your strategy.
rsi_length : Set the period for RSI calculation.
rsi_overbought : Define the overbought level.
rsi_oversold : Define the oversold level.
Stochastic Oscillator:
use_stoch : Enable this to include the Stochastic Oscillator in your strategy.
stoch_k : Set the %K period.
stoch_d : Set the %D period.
stoch_smooth : Define the smoothing factor.
stoch_overbought : Set the overbought level.
stoch_oversold : Set the oversold level.
Confirmation or Momentum Mode:
confirm_trend : Set this to true to use RSI and Stochastic Oscillator to confirm trends (long when above overbought, short when below oversold). Set to false to trade on momentum (short when above overbought, long when below oversold).
Tip: When set to false and used with just momentum oscillators like Stochastic or RSI, it's geared toward scalping as it essentially becomes momentum trading.
Trade Directions:
trade_long : Enable to allow long trades.
trade_short : Enable to allow short trades.
Example Strategy on E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures ( CME_MINI:ES1! ), 1-minute Chart
Let’s say you want to create a strategy to go long when:
A 5-period SMA crosses above a 100-period EMA.
RSI is above 20.
The Stochastic Oscillator is above 95.
Trend Confirmation Mode is on.
For short:
A 5-period SMA crosses below a 100-period EMA.
RSI is below 45.
The Stochastic Oscillator is below 5.
Trend Confirmation Mode is on.
Here’s how you would set it up in Tradebuilder:
use_ma = true
ma_cross_type = "MA/MA"
ma_length = 5
ma_type = "SMA"
ma_length2 = 100
ma_type2 = "EMA"
use_rsi = true
rsi_length = 14
rsi_overbought = 20
rsi_oversold = 45
use_stoch = true
stoch_k = 8
stoch_d = 1
stoch_smooth = 1
stoch_overbought = 95
stoch_oversold = 5
confirm_trend = true
trade_long = true
trade_short = false
Alerts
Here is how to set TradeBuilder alerts: open a TradingView chart, attach TradeBuilder, right-click on chart -> Add Alert. Condition: Symbol (e.g. NQ) >> TradeBuilder >> Open-Ended Alert >> Once Per Bar Close.
Development Roadmap
We plan to add many more compoundable indicators to TradeBuilder over the coming months from all walks of technical analysis, including Volume, Volatility, Trend Detection/Validation, Momentum, Divergences, Chart Patterns, Support/Resistance Analysis. etc.
MTF-Colored EMA Difference and Stochastic indicatorThis indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools: the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Stochastic Oscillator, with the added flexibility of analyzing them across multiple time frames. It visually represents the difference between two EMAs and the crossover signals from the Stochastic Oscillator, providing a comprehensive view of the market conditions.
Components:
EMA Difference Histogram :
EMA Calculation : The indicator calculates two EMAs (EMA1 and EMA2) for the selected time frame.
EMA Difference : The difference between EMA1 and EMA2 is plotted as a 4 coloured histogram.
Stochastic Oscillato r:
Calculation : The %K and %D lines of the Stochastic Oscillator are calculated for the selected time frame.
Additional Confirmation via Colors :
Green: %K is above %D, indicating a bullish signal.
Red: %K is below %D, indicating a bearish signal.
Entry and Exit Strategies
Entry Strategy :
Bullish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark green (indicating a strong upward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is green (%K is above %D).
Bearish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark Red (indicating a strong downward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is red (%K is below %D).
Exit Strategy:
Bullish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns red (%K crosses below %D).
Bearish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns green (%K crosses above %D).
Additional Considerations:
Time Frame Selection : The chosen time frame for both the EMA and Stochastic calculations should align with the trader’s strategy (e.g., daily for swing trading, hourly for intraday trading).
Risk Management : Implement stop-loss orders to manage risk effectively. The stop-loss can be placed below the recent swing low for long positions and above the recent swing high for short positions.
Confirmation : Consider using this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and reduce the likelihood of false entries and exits.
Stochastics - Made EasyThis indicator is a visually improved version of Stochastics. It makes it much easier to see what's happening by simplifying those confusing, intersecting lines. With this, you can detect the Stochastics direction more clearly. All the features are also explained in the tooltips of the input fields. Some extra features are included, such as average top and bottom calculation, standard deviation and divergences.
Color legend:

Light Green: Stoch K Above D and Falling
Red: Stoch K Below D and Falling
Light Red: Stoch K Below D and Rising
Blue: Stoch K Crossover D
Orange: Stoch K Crossunder D
Blue Arrow: Bullish Divergence
Orange Arrow: Bearish Divergence
Reversal Candlestick Structure [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Candlestick Structure indicator detects multiple candlestick patterns occurring when trends are most likely to experience a reversal in real-time. The reversal detection method includes various settings allowing users to adjust the reversal detection algorithm more precisely.
A dashboard showing the percentage of patterns detected as reversals is also included.
🔶 USAGE
Candlestick patterns are ubiquitous to technical analysts, allowing them to detect trend continuations, reversals, and indecision.
The proposed tool effectively detects reversals by using the confluence between candlestick patterns and a reversal detection method based on the stochastic oscillator, acting as a filter for the patterns. If a candlestick pattern occurs while conditions suggest a potential reversal then the pattern is highlighted.
The displayed candle coloring allows users to observe the reversal detection method, with colored candles indicating potential reversals.
Users wanting to detect longer-term reversals can use a higher "Trend Length" setting, this can however lead to an increased amount of displayed candlestick patterns.
To prevent false positives users also have control over a "Threshold" setting in a range between (0, 100), with values closer to 100 preventing candlesticks from being detected at the start of trends.
The "Warmup Length" serves a similar purpose, and aims to prevent sudden moves to be classified as reversals. Higher values of this setting will require trends to be established for a longer period of time for reversal conditions to be detected.
🔹 Dashboard
To evaluate the role of individual candlestick patterns as potential reversal signals relative to the proposed reversal detection method, a dashboard displaying the percentage of candlestick patterns displayed (that occur when a potential reversal is detected) over the total amount detected.
Hovering on the dashboard cells of the "Reversal %" column allows displaying the total amount of patterns detected.
🔶 CANDLESTICKS PATTERNS
This tool detects 16 popular candlestick patterns, each listed in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Bullish Patterns
Hammer - A bullish reversal pattern that forms after a decline, characterized by a small body at the upper end of the trading range and a long lower shadow.
Inverted Hammer - A bullish reversal pattern that forms after a downtrend, featuring a small body at the lower end of the trading range and a long upper shadow.
Bullish Engulfing - A bullish reversal pattern where a small bearish candlestick is followed by a larger bullish candlestick that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Rising 3 - A bullish continuation pattern that consists of a long bullish candlestick followed by three smaller bearish candlesticks and then another long bullish candlestick.
3 White Soldiers - A bullish reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive long bullish candlesticks, each opening within the previous candle's body and closing higher.
Morning Star - A bullish reversal pattern made up of three candlesticks: a long bearish candlestick, followed by a short candlestick, and then a long bullish candlestick.
Bullish Harami - A bullish reversal pattern where a small bullish candlestick is completely within a previous larger bearish candlestick.
Tweezer Bottom - A bullish reversal pattern identified by an initial bullish candle, followed by a bearish candle, both having equal lows.
🔹 Bearish Patterns
Hanging Man - A bearish reversal pattern that forms after an uptrend, characterized by a small body at the upper end of the trading range and a long lower shadow.
Shooting Star - A bearish reversal pattern that forms after an uptrend, featuring a small body at the lower end of the trading range and a long upper shadow.
Bearish Engulfing - A bearish reversal pattern where a small bullish candlestick is followed by a larger bearish candlestick that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Falling 3 - A bearish continuation pattern that consists of a long bearish candlestick followed by three smaller bullish candlesticks and then another long bearish candlestick.
3 Black Crows - A bearish reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive long bearish candlesticks, each opening within the previous candle's body and closing lower.
Evening Star - A bearish reversal pattern made up of three candlesticks: a long bullish candlestick, followed by a short candlestick, and then a long bearish candlestick.
Bearish Harami - A bearish reversal pattern where a small bearish candlestick is completely within a previous larger bullish candlestick.

CSC_Macchiato Price Trend Oscillator by CoffeeShopCryptoDescription:
Introducing "The Macchiato" – your go-to indicator in the realm of trading, meticulously crafted by CoffeeShopCrypto. Much like the complex flavors of a well-made Macchiato, this tool offers a robust suite of functionalities designed to enhance your trading experience across Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
The Macchiato stands out for its distinct ability to confirm market trends, identify building momentum, and navigate through periods of market stalls. Drawing cues from the RSI (Relative Strength Index), its color scheme dynamically reflects the shifts in market forces, providing traders with real-time insights into price action dynamics.
Gone are the days of navigating through market uncertainties blindly. With The Macchiato at your disposal, you gain a more clear understanding of market movements, helping you to make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, this indicator adds more confluence to your trading strategy, ensuring that you stay ahead of the curve in today's fast-paced trading environment.
So, say goodbye to guesswork and hello to precision trading with The Macchiato – where real-time data analysis meets actionable insights, all in the quest for trading success.
----------------------------------------------------
The Histogram:
The Macchiato Histogram gives you a representation of current change in closing values against the closing values within a "Range" of the lookback period. It calculates your price ranging extremes of the highest high vs lowest low according to your lookback setting. Then it shows you whether the momentum of these closing prices calculated against the highs or the lows is either rising or falling. It takes into account the difference in the highs, lows, open and closing prices as a whole. This helps to determine the actual trend of your market structure.
Histogram Rising / Falling:
The Histogram of the Macchiato doesn't care about being above or below zero. Since we are simply calculating momentum rising or falling, then we only care that the histogram is rising or falling. Especially when it's doing this in line with our Macchiato Average.
Macchiato Average:
Included is a smoothing line called "the Macchiato Average"
Using the average is just like using a moving average against price action, however here we are using one against momentum to determine whether price is moving against, with, better, or worse than the current average of momentum.
The RSI:
The base purpose of the RSI in this tool is mainly to color the columns of the Histogram.
I gave you the benefit of exposing the RSI so you can see where it lies in the oscillator for any additional strategies you may use.
How the RSI Colors the Histogram:
The Histogram has 4 momentum colors and 1 non-momentum color.
They are described below but here we will understand why they exist the way they do against the RSI positioning.
The 4 momentum colors:
You can have the RSI in 4 different positions against its moving average.
Trend Trading Colors and setups:
Strong Long - RSI above zero and above its average is a strong long trend.
Strong Short - RSI below zero and below its average is a strong short trend.
These can also be seen as breakout indications.
Counter Trend Trading and Setups:
Weak Long - RSI above zero and below its average is a weak long trend.
Weak Short - RSI below zero and above its average is a weak short trend.
(Only trade weak momentum to known internal support and resistance areas.)
You'll notice that when the RSI is set up against its RSI Moving average under these conditions, the Histogram is colored accordingly to tell you whether you have strong or weak momentum.
For these colors to appear accordingly, the RSI and the momentum of the histogram must be moving in the same direction as each other.
The 5th color of the Histogram:
(GRAY)
This is where there is a divergence / disagreement between your RSI setup and the momentum being observed. If momentum is moving one way and the force of the RSI is not matching the overall momentum, you have a divergence. This commonly means that higher timeframe momentum is in disagreement to lower or current timeframe closing momentum changes.
Conditions of a Bullish Trending Market:
The color scheme has specific implications when all columns are above zero.
As noted before, the Macchiato doesn't care that it is above or below zero. It simply needs to be rising or falling. The color scheme is depicted by what the RSI is doing in relation to ZERO and where it lies against its average.
This image helps to differentiate what is happening with momentum when in a strong bullish market.
The color scheme is always the same. You always have 4 conditions of momentum.
According to the default settings:
Strong Long = Dark Green
Weak Long = Light Green
Strong Short = Dark Red
Weak short = Light Red
The final color is GRAY which is standard for a NON directional market.
You can alter the colors as you choose for your chart background and color preference.
Macchiato Bias Line Conditions
The "Bias Line" helps you understand whether your current momentum is traveling into opposing forces or if your momentum is going WITH the bias.
Going against the bias would be like momentum and price action converging against each other.
Going in the same direction would offer much larger movements on price.
Using the Bias to trade
Trading Internal Support and Resistance
Noting previous price action, pivots, and price swings is important in its use.
When you see momentum coming to a halt or changing, note the previous price action that you are approaching. You should see the histogram change its color, telling you where momentum is ending in its current direction.
EXAMPLE BULLISH MARKET FLIP
There is the exception however that when the market flips, from bearish to bullish, you can see the following:
BIAS LINE switches to a Bullish Bias
Histogram is showing Strong Long Color
Histogram stays ahead of the BIAS line
Price should break previous swing highs to create new highs.
Strategy you can use in observance. (short pause, to pullback, to continued short)
If the momentum is rising while RSI is falling you'll have gray columns until the RSI is in the correct positions against its average.
For your trend to continue downward you are looking for dark red or "Strong Short" columns.
When there is a disagreement, your columns will be gray and then switch to weak long. (Light Green)
This is because your RSI is above its average while the RSI is bearish.
This light green area can be observed as the pullback area.
If you only want to trade short, you would wait for the pullback to be complete.
This occurs when the weak long changes back to gray and then strong short, or skipping gray into strong short.
Christmas Toolkit [LuxAlgo]It's that time of the year... and what would be more appropriate than displaying Christmas-themed elements on your chart?
The Christmas Toolkit displays a tree containing elements affected by various technical indicators. If you're lucky, you just might also find a precious reindeer trotting toward the tree, how fancy!
🔶 USAGE
Each of the 7 X-mas balls is associated with a specific condition.
Each ball has a color indicating:
lime: very bullish

🔹 ema (length 200)
ema 200 rises - green (+1 point)
else - red (-1 point)
The above information can also be found on the right side of the tree.
You'll see the conditions associated with the specific X-mas ball and the meaning of color changes. This can also be visualized by hovering over the labels.
All values are added together, this result is used to color the star at the top of the tree, with a specific color indicating:
lime: very bullish (> 6 points)
green: bullish (6 points)
blue: holding the same position or sideline
red: bearish (-6 points)
darkRed: very bearish (< -6 points)
Switches to green/lime or red/dark red can be seen by the fallen stars at the bottom.
The Last Switch indicates the latest green/lime or red/dark red color (not blue)
🔶 ANIMATION

[KVA]K Stochastic IndicatorOriginal Stochastic Oscillator Formula:
%K=(C−Lowest Low)/(Highest High−Lowest Low)×100
Lowest Low refers to the lowest low of the past n periods.
Highest High refers to the highest high of the past n periods.
K Stochastic Indicator Formula:
%K=(Source−Lowest Source)/(Highest Source−Lowest Source)×100
Lowest Source refers to the lowest value of the chosen source over the past length periods.
Highest Source refers to the highest value of the chosen source over the past length periods.
Key Difference :
The original formula calculates %K using the absolute highest high and lowest low of the price over the past n periods.
The K Stochastic formula calculates %K using the highest and lowest values of a chosen source (which could be the close, open, high, or low) over the specified length periods.
So, if _src is set to something other than the high for the Highest Source or something other than the low for the Lowest Source, the K Stochastic will yield different results compared to the original formula which strictly uses the highest high and the lowest low of the price.
Impact on Traders :
Flexibility in Price Source :
By allowing the source (_src) to be customizable, traders can apply the Stochastic calculation to different price points (e.g., open, high, low, close, or even an average of these). This could provide a different perspective on market momentum and potentially offer signals that are more aligned with a trader's specific strategy.
Sensitivity to Price Action :
Changing the source from high/low to potentially less extreme values (like close or open) could result in a less volatile oscillator, smoothing out some of the extreme peaks and troughs and possibly offering a more filtered view of market conditions.
Customization of Periods :
The ability to adjust the length period offers traders the opportunity to fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match their trading horizon. Shorter periods may provide earlier signals, while longer periods could filter out market noise.
Possibility of Applying the Indicator on Other Indicators :
Layered Technical Analysis :
The K Stochastic can be applied to other indicators, not just price. For example, it could be applied to a moving average to analyze its momentum or to indicators like RSI or MACD, offering a meta-analysis that studies the oscillator's behavior of other technical tools.
Creation of Composite Indicator s:
By applying the K Stochastic logic to other indicators, traders could create composite indicators that blend the characteristics of multiple indicators, potentially leading to unique signals that could offer an edge in certain market conditions.
Enhanced Signal Interpretation :
When applied to other indicators, the K Stochastic can help in identifying overbought or oversold conditions within those indicators, offering a different dimension to the interpretation of their output.
Overall Implications :
The KStochastic Indicator's modifications could lead to a more tailored application, giving traders the ability to adapt the tool to their specific trading style and analysis preferences.
By being applicable to other indicators, it broadens the scope of stochastic analysis beyond price action, potentially offering innovative ways to interpret data and make trading decisions.
The changes might also influence the trading signals, either by smoothing the oscillator's output to reduce noise or by altering the sensitivity to generate more or fewer signal
Including the additional %F line, which is unique to the K Stochastic Indicator, further expands the potential impacts and applications for traders:
Impact on Traders with the %F Line:
Triple Smoothing :
The %F line introduces a third level of smoothing, which could help in identifying longer-term trends and filtering out short-term fluctuations. This could be particularly useful for traders looking to avoid whipsaws and focus on more sustained movements.
Potential for Enhanced Confirmation :
The %F line might be used as a confirmation signal. For instance, if all three lines (%K, %D, and %F) are in agreement, a trader might consider this as a stronger signal to buy or sell, as opposed to when only the traditional two lines (%K and %D) are used.
Risk Management:
The additional line could be utilized for more sophisticated risk management strategies, where a trader might decide to scale in or out of positions based on the convergence or divergence of these lines.
Possibility of Applying the Indicator on Other Indicators with the %F Line:
Depth of Analysis :
When applied to other indicators, the %F line can provide an even deeper layer of analysis, perhaps identifying macro trends within the indicator it is applied to, which could go unnoticed with just the traditional two-line approach.
Refined Signal Strength Assessment :
The strength of signals from other indicators could be assessed by the position and direction of the %F line, providing an additional filter to evaluate the robustness of buy or sell signals.
Overall Implications with the %F Line :
The inclusion of the %F line in the K Stochastic Indicator enhances its utility as a tool for trend analysis and signal confirmation. It allows traders to potentially identify and act on more reliable trading opportunities.
This feature can enrich the trader's toolkit by providing a nuanced view of momentum and trend strength, which can be particularly valuable in volatile or choppy markets.
For those applying the K Stochastic to other indicators, the %F line could be integral in creating a multi-tiered analysis strategy, potentially leading to more sophisticated interpretations and decisions.
The presence of the %F line adds a dimension of depth to the analysis possible with the K Stochastic Indicator, making it a versatile tool that could be tailored to a variety of trading styles and objectives. However, as with any indicator, the additional complexity requires careful study and back-testing to ensure its signals are understood and actionable within the context of a comprehensive trading plan.
VCC SmtmWorks better for Cryptos (1W and greater than) timeframes.
This strategy incorporates multiple indicators to make informed trading signals. It leverages the Stochastic indicator to assess price momentum, utilizes the Bollinger Band to identify potential oversold and overbought conditions, and closely monitors Moving Averages to gauge the trend's bullish or bearish nature.
A long signal will be displayed if the following conditions are met:
The Stochastic D and Stochastic K both indicate an oversold condition, with Stochastic K being lower than Stochastic D.
The current Price Low is below the Bollinger Lower Band.
The Price Close is currently below all Moving Averages.
A Death Cross pattern has formed among the Moving Averages.
A short signal will be displayed if the opposite of the long conditions are true:
The Stochastic D and Stochastic K both indicate an overbought condition, with Stochastic K being higher than Stochastic D.
The current Price High is above the Bollinger Upper Band.
The Price Close is currently above all Moving Averages.
A Golden Cross pattern has formed among the Moving Averages.
Price Exhaustion IndicatorThe Price Exhaustion Indicator (PE) is a powerful tool designed to identify trends weakening and strengthening in the financial markets. It combines the concepts of Average True Range (ATR), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Stochastic Oscillator to provide a comprehensive assessment of trend exhaustion levels. By analyzing these multiple indicators together, traders and investors can gain valuable insights into potential price reversals and long-term market highs and lows.
The aim of combining the ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator, is to provide a comprehensive analysis of trend exhaustion. The ATR component helps assess the volatility and range of price movements, while the MACD offers insights into the convergence and divergence of moving averages. The Stochastic Oscillator measures the current price in relation to its range, providing further confirmation of trend exhaustion. The exhaustion value is derived by combining the MACD, ATR, and Stochastic Oscillator. The MACD value is divided by the ATR value, and then multiplied by the Stochastic Oscillator value. This calculation results in a single exhaustion value that reflects the combined influence of these three indicators.
Application
The Price Exhaustion Indicator utilizes a unique visual representation by incorporating a gradient color scheme. The exhaustion line dynamically changes color, ranging from white when close to the midline (40) to shades of purple as it approaches points of exhaustion (overbought at 100 and oversold at -20). As the exhaustion line approaches the color purple, this represents extreme market conditions and zones of weakened trends where reversals may occur. This color gradient serves as a visual cue, allowing users to quickly gauge the strength or weakness of the prevailing trend.
To further enhance its usability, the Price Exhaustion Indicator also includes circle plots that signify potential points of trend reversion. These plots appear when the exhaustion lines cross or enter the overbought and oversold zones. Red circle plots indicate potential short entry points, suggesting a weakening trend and the possibility of a downward price reversal. Conversely, green circle plots represent potential long entry points, indicating a strengthening trend and the potential for an upward price reversal.
Traders and investors can leverage the Price Exhaustion Indicator in various ways. It can be utilized as a trend-following tool, or a mean reversion tool. When the exhaustion line approaches the overbought or oversold zones, it suggests a weakening trend and the possibility of a price reversal, helping identify potential market tops and bottoms. This can guide traders in timing their entries or exits in anticipation of a trend shift.
Utility
The Price Exhaustion Indicator is particularly useful for long-term market analysis, as it focuses on identifying long-term market highs and lows. By capturing the gradual weakening or strengthening of a trend, it assists investors in making informed decisions about portfolio allocation, trend continuation, or potential reversals.
In summary, the Price Exhaustion Indicator is a comprehensive and visually intuitive tool that combines ATR, MACD, and Stochastic Oscillator to identify trend exhaustion levels. By utilizing a gradient color scheme and circle plots, it offers traders and investors valuable insights into potential trend reversals and long-term market highs and lows. Its unique features make it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, providing a deeper understanding of market dynamics and assisting in decision-making processes. Please note that future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Kalman Filtered ROC & Stochastic with MA SmoothingThe "Smooth ROC & Stochastic with Kalman Filter" indicator is a trend following tool designed to identify trends in the price movement. It combines the Rate of Change (ROC) and Stochastic indicators into a single oscillator, the combination of ROC and Stochastic indicators aims to offer complementary information: ROC measures the speed of price change, while Stochastic identifies overbought and oversold conditions, allowing for a more robust assessment of market trends and potential reversals. The indicator plots green "B" labels to indicate buy signals and blue "S" labels to represent sell signals. Additionally, it displays a white line that reflects the overall trend for buy signals and a blue line for sell signals. The aim of the indicator is to incorporate Kalman and Moving Average (MA) smoothing techniques to reduce noise and enhance the clarity of the signals.
Rationale for using Kalman Filter:
The Kalman Filter is chosen as a smoothing tool in the indicator because it effectively reduces noise and fluctuations. The Kalman Filter is a mathematical algorithm used for estimating and predicting the state of a system based on noisy and incomplete measurements. It combines information from previous states and current measurements to generate an optimal estimate of the true state, while simultaneously minimizing the effects of noise and uncertainty. In the context of the indicator, the Kalman Filter is applied to smooth the input data, which is the source for the Rate of Change (ROC) calculation. By considering the previous smoothed state and the difference between the current measurement and the predicted value, the Kalman Filter dynamically adjusts its estimation to reduce the impact of outliers.
Calculation:
The indicator utilizes a combination of the ROC and the Stochastic indicator. The ROC is smoothed using a Kalman Filter (credit to © Loxx: ), which helps eliminate unwanted fluctuations and improve the signal quality. The Stochastic indicator is calculated with customizable parameters for %K length, %K smoothing, and %D smoothing. The smoothed ROC and Stochastic values are then averaged using the formula ((roc + d) / 2) to create the blended oscillator. MA smoothing is applied to the combined oscillator aiming to further reduce fluctuations and enhance trend visibility. Traders are free to choose their own preferred MA type from 'EMA', 'DEMA', 'TEMA', 'WMA', 'VWMA', 'SMA', 'SMMA', 'HMA', 'LSMA', and 'PEMA' (credit to: © traderharikrishna for this code: ).
Application:
The indicator's buy signals (represented by green "B" labels) indicate potential entry points for buying assets, suggesting a bullish trend. The white line visually represents the trend, helping traders identify and follow the upward momentum. Conversely, the sell signals (blue "S" labels) highlight possible exit points or opportunities for short selling, indicating a bearish trend. The blue line illustrates the bearish movement, aiding in the identification of downward momentum.
The "Smoothed ROC & Stochastic" indicator offers traders a comprehensive view of market trends by combining two powerful oscillators. By incorporating the ROC and Stochastic indicators into a single oscillator, it provides a more holistic perspective on the market's momentum. The use of a Kalman Filter for smoothing helps reduce noise and enhance the accuracy of the signals. Additionally, the indicator allows customization of the smoothing technique through various moving average types. Traders can also utilize the overbought and oversold zones for additional analysis, providing insights into potential market reversals or extreme price conditions. Please note that future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Stochastic Zone Strength Trend [wbburgin](This script was originally invite-only, but I'd vastly prefer contributing to the TradingView community more than anything else, so I am making it public :) I'd much rather share my ideas with you all.)
The Stochastic Zone Strength Trend indicator is a very powerful momentum and trend indicator that 1) identifies trend direction and strength, 2) determines pullbacks and reversals (including oversold and overbought conditions), 3) identifies divergences, and 4) can filter out ranges. I have some examples below on how to use it to its full effectiveness. It is composed of two components: Stochastic Zone Strength and Stochastic Trend Strength.
Stochastic Zone Strength
At its most basic level, the stochastic Zone Strength plots the momentum of the price action of the instrument, and identifies bearish and bullish changes with a high degree of accuracy. Think of the stochastic Zone Strength as a much more robust equivalent of the RSI. Momentum-change thresholds are demonstrated by the "20" and "80" levels on the indicator (see below image).
Stochastic Trend Strength
The stochastic Trend Strength component of the script uses resistance in each candlestick to calculate the trend strength of the instrument. I'll go more into detail about the settings after my description of how to use the indicator, but there are two forms of the stochastic Trend Strength:
Anchored at 50 (directional stochastic Trend Strength):
The directional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the MACD difference or other histogram-like indicators : a rising plot indicates an upward trend, while a falling plot indicates a downward trend.
Anchored at 0 (nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength):
The nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the ADX or other non-directional indicators : a rising plot indicates increasing trend strength, and look at the stochastic Zone Strength component and your instrument to determine if this indicates increasing bullish strength or increasing bearish strength (see photo below):
(In the above photo, a bearish divergence indicated that the high Trend Strength predicted a strong downwards move, which was confirmed shortly after. Later, a bullish move upward by the Zone Strength while the Trend Strength was elevated predicated a strong upwards move, which was also confirmed. Note the period where the Trend Strength never reached above 80, which indicated a ranging period (and thus unprofitable to enter or exit)).
How to Use the Indicator
The above image is a good example on how to use the indicator to determine divergences and possible pivot points (lines and circles, respectively). I recommend using both the stochastic Zone Strength and the stochastic Trend Strength at the same time, as it can give you a robust picture of where momentum is in relation to the price action and its trajectory. Every color is changeable in the settings.
Settings
The Amplitude of the indicator is essentially the high-low lookback for both components.
The Wavelength of the indicator is how stretched-out you want the indicator to be: how many amplitudes do you want the indicator to process in one given bar.
A useful analogy that I use (and that I derived the names from) is from traditional physics. In wave motion, the Amplitude is the up-down sensitivity of the wave, and the Wavelength is the side-side stretch of the wave.
The Smoothing Factor of the settings is simply how smoothed you want the stochastic to be. It's not that important in most circumstances.
Trend Anchor was covered above (see my description of Trend Strength). The "Trend Transform MA Length" is the EMA length of the Trend Strength that you use to transform it into the directional oscillator. Think of the EMA being transformed onto the 50 line and then the Trend Strength being dragged relative to that.
Trend Transform MA Length is the EMA length you want to use for transforming the nondirectional Trend Strength (anchored at 0) into the directional Trend Strength (anchored at 50). I suggest this be the same as the wavelength.
Trend Plot Type can transform the Nondirectional Trend Strength into a line plot so that it doesn't murk up the background.
Finally, the colors are changeable on the bottom.
Explanation of Zone Strength
If you're knowledgeable in Pine Script, I encourage you to look at the code to try to understand the concept, as it's a little complicated. The theory behind my Zone Strength concept is that the wicks in every bar can be used create an index of bullish and bearish resistance, as a wick signifies that the price crossed above a threshold before returning to its origin. This distance metric is unique because most indicators/formulas for calculating relative strength use a displacement metric (such as close - open) instead of measuring how far the price actually moved (up and down) within a candlestick. This is what the Zone Strength concept represents - the hesitation within the bar that is not typically represented in typical momentum indicators.
In the script's code I have step by step explanations of how the formula is calculated and why it is calculated as such. I encourage you to play around with the amplitude and wavelength inputs as they can make the zone strength look very different and perform differently depending on your interests.
Enjoy!

[volfgang] WAVEA compass to the financial charts.
The Volfgang WAVE Indicator helps you to decode complex market trends and make informed decisions in your trading.
Quick Summary
The WAVE has a signal line which alternates between Red or Blue.
Red is bearish and Blue is bullish.
It turns Blue when the WAVE line crosses above the signal and holds for 1 bar.
it turns Red when the WAVE line crosses below the signal and holds for 1 bar.
(You can change the signal line’s length in the settings, the default is 3 which is suited towards Day Trading – For Swing Traders I recommend 4 or 5 – For Investors 6 to 9).
The WAVE line will change colour to alert you when price is potentially pivoting.
When the WAVE is WHITE, the trend is currently Bearish but could flip bullish soon.
When the WAVE is GREEN, the trend is Bullish and there is strong Bullish momentum.
When the WAVE is ORANGE, it means trend is bullish but there is danger of a Bearish Reversal.
When the WAVE is PINK it means there is strong Bearish Momentum.
WAVETrend Scanner
The WAVETrend Scanner can be enabled in the settings and gives you a quick overview of the current trend across 8 potential timeframes:
You can use this to make sure the trades you are taking on lower timeframes align with the current bias on higher term timeframes, thus ensuring a higher chance of success.
WAVE Colours
The background colour of the WAVE also changes according to the current trend across multiple timeframes. The scanner is constantly measuring the current trend across 7 timeframes;
When 4 timeframes line up Bullish, the WAVE is LIGHT BLUE (Cyan)
When 5 timeframes line up Bullish, the WAVE is DARK BLUE (Navy)
When 6+ timeframes line up Bullish, the WAVE is GREEN
When 4 timeframes line up Bearish, the WAVE is ORANGE
When 5 timeframes line up Bearish, the WAVE is RED
When 6+ timeframes line up Bearish, the WAVE is PINK
Divergence Checker & Buy/Sell Signals
The BUY and SELL Signals are represented by a BLUE or RED Histogram line that extends from the WAVE to the 0 Line.
A BUY signal shows when a Crossover occurs & there is a Bullish Diversion Present within the last 50 bars.
A SELL signal appears when a Crossunder occurs & there is Bearish Diversion present within the last 50 bars.
You can change the length of the Divergence Checker in the settings, default is 50 bars.
Under The Hood
The WAVE pulls information from multiple sources within a set period such as;
Close Price
Highest Price
Lowest Price
EMA
The script applies a set of complicated algebraic equations. Which essentially measures the and of recent price action.
Then it uses EMA's to measure from the and , whilst applying more weight to recent price action.
The functions then calculate more averages which measure the difference from and .
Next, it uses all of these calculated averages to create a value that represents the current WAVE condition. This calculation will determine whether the WAVE is in a bullish or bearish trend.
This sum is then smoothed out to get one more value, which is used to display the info box content that allows us to see exactly at what price the WAVE will keep rising or keep falling.
One final calculation also predicts the point at which the WAVE will flip trend. It uses similar calculations to the "Keep Rising/Falling" prediction function, but its aim is to predict the exact price at which the WAVE will cross.
What gives the WAVE indicator an edge over most Stochastic Indicators, is how it uses Pinescript's "request.security" function to pull information from multiple timeframes in order to generate plots, info data and colours to add much more relevant information to the chart which you can use to make informed trading decisions. This is what allows the WAVETrend Scanner to work.
The WAVE indicator is designed to work with all markets and asset types.
MOM HEATThe "MOM HEAT" indicator combines MACD, Stochastic, MFI, and RSI to create a heat map of market momentum.
It calculates wave values based on these indicators for four different timeframes.
The wave values are then normalized and combined to determine overall momentum.
The indicator plots squares on the chart to represent the wave values for each timeframe.
It also draws a line to indicate potential momentum shifts.
Additionally, a table displays the timeframes and their corresponding colors (lib kaigouthro/hsvColor/15).
Overall, the indicator provides a visual representation of market momentum and potential shifts.
Ichimoku Z-Score Stochastic Oscillator with Kumo Depth Analysis---
Ichimoku Z-Score Stochastic Oscillator with Kumo Depth Analysis
---
Script Overview
Welcome to the Advanced Ichimoku Z-Score Stochastic Oscillator with Kumo Depth Analysis. This unique strategy is designed to provide a comprehensive, multi-timeframe trading view by leveraging the Ichimoku Cloud, Z-Score, Stochastic Oscillator, and an innovative implied volatility measure – the Kumo Depth. By integrating these powerful tools into one script, traders can make more informed decisions by considering trend strength, volatility, and volume in one holistic view.
Rationale & Strategy
The script was created with the rationale that trading decisions should not only be based on price action and volume, but also on market trend strength and implied volatility. The script integrates these various elements:
The Ichimoku Cloud, a versatile indicator that provides support and resistance levels, trend direction, and momentum all at once.
The Z-Score, a statistical measurement of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values.
The Stochastic Oscillator, a momentum indicator that uses support and resistance levels to determine probable trend reversals.
The Kumo Depth Analysis, an innovative measure of implied volatility and market trend strength derived from the thickness of the Ichimoku Cloud.
How It Works
This script works by providing visual buy and sell signals based on the confluence of the aforementioned tools.
Ichimoku Cloud and Z-Score: The script first calculates the Ichimoku Cloud lines for both a higher and lower timeframe and measures how much current prices deviate from the cloud using Z-Score.
Stochastic Oscillator: This Z-Score is then inputted into a Stochastic Oscillator, thus giving the oscillator a more normalized range.
Kumo Depth Analysis: Simultaneously, the thickness of the Ichimoku Cloud (Kumo) is calculated as an implied volatility indicator. This depth is normalized and used as a filter to ensure we are trading in a market with substantial trend strength.
Signals: Buy and sell signals are triggered based on the crossover and crossunder of the Stochastic Oscillator lines. Signals are then filtered based on their location relative to the Ichimoku Cloud (price should be above the cloud for buy signals and below for sell signals) and the normalized Kumo Depth.
How to Use
Signal Types: The script provides both strong and weak signals. Strong signals are accompanied by high volume, while weak signals are not. Strong buy signals are indicated with a green triangle at the top, strong sell signals with a red triangle at the bottom. Weak signals are shown as blue and yellow circles, respectively.
Trend Strength: The trend strength is shown by the normalized Kumo Depth. The greater the Kumo Depth, the stronger the trend.
Timeframes: You can customize the timeframes used for the calculations in the input settings.
Adjustments: Users can adjust parameters such as the Ichimoku settings, Stochastic Oscillator settings, timeframes, and Kumo Depth settings to suit their trading style and the characteristics of the asset they are trading.
This script is a complete trading strategy tool providing multi-timeframe, trend-following, and volume-based signals. It's best suited for traders who understand the concepts of trend trading, stochastic oscillators, and volatility measures and want to incorporate them all into one powerful, comprehensive trading strategy.
Stochastic Distance Indicator [CC]The Stochastic Distance Indicator was created by Vitali Apirine (Stocks and Commodities Jun 2023 pgs 16-21), and this is a new method that measures the absolute distance between a price and its highest and lowest values over a long period. It uses the stochastic formula to create an oscillator using this distance value and smooths the value. Obviously, there is a lag in signals due to the lookback periods, but it does a good job of staying above the midline when the stock is in a strong uptrend and vice versa. Of course, I'm open to suggestions, but I'm deciding to create buy and sell signals based on comparing the unsmoothed and smoothed values. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
