MTF Ichimoku Conversion Line SMA with H/L mirrored levelsWelcome to MTF Ichimoku Conversion Line with SMA Highs/Lows Extended Lines!
1. Overview
It is designed to provide a multi-timeframe view of market trends and potential support/resistance levels by obtaining a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Conversion Line of Ichimoku Equibilium (Ichimoku Kinko-Hyo), which acts as a substantial trend line on the candlestick chart. The SMA of the conversion line smooths out price fluctuations and indicates the overall trend direction—if the candles are above it, the trend can be read as an uptrend, while below it, the trend can be read as a downtrend.
2. Calculation
The indicator first calculates the Conversion Line (see the description of Ichimoku theory anywhere, e.g., Wikipedia), as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period (Conversion Line Length, default is 9, also recommended is 9).
It then retrieves this Conversion Line from a higher timeframe (MTF Timeframe) to add a broader perspective. Using a specified period (SMA Length)., an SMA is computed on this multi-timeframe conversion line. This SMA serves as a trend line that visually represents the prevailing price trend, making it easier to assess market direction.
3. Pivot Highs/low detection and drawing their extensions
In addition, the indicator identifies pivot highs and lows from the SMA data using a defined pivot length. When these pivots occur, horizontal lines are drawn and extended across the chart. These extended lines (drawn in a yellowish color by default) include a full extension, a half extension, and a middle extension line representing the midpoint between the high and low pivot.
4. Mirror lines
The indicator also offers optional mirror line features. When the Mirror Upside option is enabled, five additional lines are drawn above the highest extended yellow line at equal intervals. Similarly, when the Mirror Downside option is enabled, five lines are drawn below the lowest extended yellow line. These light gray mirror lines serve as extra reference levels, which can help identify potential support or resistance zones.
5. Parameters
User parameters include:
- Conversion Line Length: The period used to calculate the conversion line.
- MTF Timeframe: The higher timeframe from which the conversion line is obtained.
- SMA Length: The period over which the SMA is calculated on the conversion line.
- SMA Mode: A toggle to display either the SMA or the raw conversion line (SMA recommended).
- SMA Line Width: The thickness of the SMA line.
- Pivot Length for SMA Highs/Lows: The period used to detect pivot highs and lows in the SMA.
- Horizontal Extension: Number of bars by which the pivot and extended lines are drawn across the chart
- Colors for High and Low Pivot Lines and Extended Lines: Customizable colors are used to draw the lines.
Mirror Upside and Mirror Downside: These options enable drawing additional mirror lines above and below the extended lines.
- Hide Old Lines: An option to hide previous pivot lines once new ones are drawn for a cleaner chart. Turned on by default.
6. Conclusion
Overall, the Conversion Line SMA in this indicator smooths out the conversion line data and effectively functions as a trend line for the candlestick chart, helping traders visually interpret the underlying market trend. The extended and mirror lines provide further context for potential price reversal or continuation areas, making this a powerful tool for multi-timeframe technical analysis.

Blockchain Fundamentals: Liquidity & BTC YoYLiquidity & BTC YoY Indicator
Overview:
This indicator calculates the Year-over-Year (YoY) percentage change for two critical metrics: a custom Liquidity Index and Bitcoin's price. The Liquidity Index is derived from a blend of economic and forex data representing the M2 money supply, while the BTC price is obtained from a reliable market source. A dedicated limit(length) function is implemented to handle limited historical data, ensuring that the YoY calculations are available immediately—even when the chart's history is short.
Features Breakdown:
1. Limited Historical Data Workaround
- Functionality: limit(length) The function dynamically adjusts the lookback period when there isn’t enough historical data. This prevents delays in displaying YoY metrics at the beginning of the chart.
2. Liquidity Calculation
- Data Sources: Combines multiple data streams:
USM2, ECONOMICS:CNM2, USDCNY, ECONOMICS:JPM2, USDJPY, ECONOMICS:EUM2, USDEUR
- Formula:
Liquidity Index = USM2 + (CNM2 / USDCNY) + (JPM2 / USDJPY) + (EUM2 / USDEUR)
[b3. Bitcoin Price Calculation
- Data Source: Retrieves Bitcoin's price from BITSTAMP:BTCUSD on the user-selected timeframe for its historical length.
4. Year-over-Year (YoY) Percent Change Calculation
- Methodology:
- The indicator uses a custom function, to autodetect the proper number of bars, based on the selected timeframe.
- It then compares the current value to that from one year ago for both the Liquidity Index and BTC price, calculating the YoY percentage change.
5. Visual Presentation
- Plotting:
- The YoY percentage changes for Liquidity (plotted in blue) and BTC price (plotted in orange) are clearly displayed.
- A horizontal zero line is added for visual alignment, making it easier to compare the two copies of the metric. You add one copy and only display the BTC YoY. Then you add another copy and only display the M2 YoY.
-The zero lines are then used to align the scripts to each other by interposing them. You scale each chart the way you like, then move each copy individually to align both zero lines on top of each other.
This indicator is ideal for analysts and investors looking to monitor macroeconomic liquidity trends alongside Bitcoin's performance, providing immediate insights.

On-chain Zscore | QuantumResearchQuantumResearch On-chain Zscore Indicator
The On-chain Zscore Indicator by QuantumResearch is a cutting-edge tool designed for traders and analysts who leverage on-chain metrics to assess Bitcoin’s market conditions. This indicator calculates a composite Z-score using three key on-chain metrics: NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss), SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio), and MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value). By normalizing these values through standard deviations, the indicator provides a dynamic, data-driven approach to identifying overbought and oversold conditions, improving market timing and decision-making.
1. Overview
This indicator integrates multiple on-chain metrics to:
Assess Market Cycles – Utilize Z-score normalization to detect potential tops and bottoms.
Smooth Volatility – Apply EMA and standard deviation filtering to refine signals.
Identify Buy & Sell Signals – Use adaptive thresholds to highlight market extremes.
Provide Visual Clarity – Color-coded bar signals and background fills for intuitive analysis.
2. How It Works
A. Z-score Calculation
What is a Z-score? – The Z-score measures how far a data point deviates from its historical mean in terms of standard deviations. This helps in identifying statistical extremes.
Zscore(source,mean,std)=>
zscore = (source-mean)/std
zscore
Standard Deviation Normalization – Each on-chain metric (NUPL, SOPR, MVRV) is individually standardized before being combined into a final score.
B. On-Chain Components
NUPL Z-score – Measures unrealized profits and losses relative to market cycles.
SOPR Z-score – Evaluates profit-taking behavior on spent outputs.
MVRV Z-score – Assesses whether Bitcoin is overvalued or undervalued based on market cap vs. realized cap.
C. Composite On-chain Score
The indicator computes an average Z-score of the three on-chain metrics to create a composite market assessment.
Adaptive thresholds (default: 0.73 for bullish signals, -0.44 for bearish signals) dynamically adjust based on market conditions.
3. Visual Representation
This indicator features color-coded elements and dynamic threshold visualization:
Bar Colors
Green Bars – Bullish conditions when Z-score exceeds the upper threshold.
Red Bars – Bearish conditions when Z-score drops below the lower threshold.
Gray Bars – Neutral market conditions.
Threshold Bands & Background Fill
Upper Band (Overbought) – Default threshold set at 0.73.
Middle Band – Neutral zone at 0.
Lower Band (Oversold) – Default threshold set at -0.44.
4. Customization & Parameters
This indicator is highly configurable, allowing traders to fine-tune settings based on their strategy:
On-Chain Z-score Settings
NUPL Z-score Length – Default: 126 periods
SOPR Z-score Length – Default: 111 periods
MVRV Z-score Length – Default: 111 periods
Signal Thresholds
Upper Threshold (Bullish Zone) – Default: 0.73
Lower Threshold (Bearish Zone) – Default: -0.44
Color & Visual Settings
Choose from eight customizable color modes to suit personal preferences.
5. Trading Applications
The On-chain Zscore Indicator is versatile and can be applied in various market scenarios:
Macro Trend Analysis – Identify long-term market tops and bottoms using normalized on-chain metrics.
Momentum Confirmation – Validate price action trends with SOPR & MVRV behavior.
Market Timing – Use deviation thresholds to enter at historically significant price zones.
Risk Management – Avoid overextended markets by watching for extreme Z-score readings.
6. Final Thoughts
The QuantumResearch On-chain Zscore Indicator provides a unique approach to market evaluation by combining three critical on-chain metrics into a single, normalized score.
By standardizing Bitcoin’s market behavior, this tool helps traders and investors make informed decisions based on historical statistical extremes.
Backtesting and validation are essential before using this indicator in live trading. While it enhances market analysis, it should be used alongside other tools and strategies.

Combo Gama Exposure + EMA + SMA 1.0Gamma Exposure (GEX) for the CBOE Volatility Index ( TVC:VIX ) is an estimate of how much option sellers need to hedge for every 1% change in the underlying asset's price. It's also known as Gamma Levels.
How is GEX calculated?
GEX is calculated based on a 1% move of the underlying security
It's calculated and updated throughout the day
It's based on market positioning and open interest
These regions are important because they show the regions where players can act more aggressively to defend their positions. When inserting the indicator on the chart, a popup will open requesting the GEX levels (Put wall, Vix Call Wall 0DTE, etc.)
In addition, 3 moving averages will be inserted into the chart. A 9-period exponential moving average, a 20-period arithmetic moving average, and a 200-period arithmetic moving average. These moving averages aim to indicate the possible trend of the asset, where pullbacks in these averages can signal a possible entry in favor of the trend.
NFP High/Low LevelsThis indicator plots high and low levels with horizontal lines for the last 12 NFP Days
NFP Days are input in the indicator settings
Labels are placed according to the Month and if it is a High or Low price for the NFP Day
Price tracking on each NFP day starts 30 min before market open until market close (0830-1559 EST)
NFP hours are marked at the bottom of the chart to verify the NFP session visually, adjustable in settings
Works for 1H and below timeframes and on Futures
Here is an example of the indicator on NQ1! chart
Adaptive Supply and Demand [EdgeTerminal]Adaptive Supply and Demand is a dynamic supply and demand indicator with a few unique twists. It considers volume pressure, volatility-based adjustments and multi-time frame momentum for confidence scoring (multi-step confirmation) to generate dynamic lines that adjust based on the market and also to generate dynamic support/resistance levels for the supply and demand lines.
The dynamic support and resistance lines shown gives you a better situational awareness of the current state of the market and add more context to why the market is moving into a certain direction.
> Trading Scenarios
When the confidence score is over 80%, strong volume pressure in trend direction (up or down), volatility is low and momentum is aligned across timeframes, there is an indication of a strong upward or downward trend.
When the supply and demand line crossover, the confidence score is over 75% and the volume pressure is shifting, this can be an indicator of trend reversal. Use tight initial stops, scale into position as trend develops, monitor the volume pressure for continuation and wait for confidence confirmation.
When the confiance score is below 60%, the volume pressure is choppy, volatility is high, you want to avoid trading or reduce position size, wait for confidence improvements, use support and resistance for entries/exits and use tighter stops due to market conditions. This is an indication of a ranging market.
Another scenario is when there is a sudden volume pressure increase, and a raising confidence score, the volatility is expanding and the bar momentum is aligning the volatility direction. This can indicate a breakout scenario.
> How it Works
1. Volume Pressure Analysis
Volume Pressure Analysis is a key component that measures the true buying and selling force in the market. Here's a detailed breakdown. The idea is to standardize volume to prevent large spikes from skewing results.
The indicator employs an adaptive volume normalization technique to detect genuine buying and selling pressure.
It takes current volume and divides it by average volume.
If normVol > 1: Current volume is above average
If normVol < 1: Current volume is below average
An example if this would be If current volume is 1500 and average is 1000, normVol = 1.5 (50% above average)
Another component of the volume pressure analysis is the Price Change Calculation sub-module. The purpose of this is to measure price movement relative to recent average.
It works by subtracting the average price from the current price. If the value is positive, price is average and if negative, price is below average.
Finally, the volume pressure is calculated to combine volume and price for true pressure reading.
2. Savitzky-Golay Filtering
SG filtering implements advanced signal smoothing while preserving important trend features. It uses weighted moving average approximation, preserves higher moments of data and reduces noise while maintaining signal integrity.
This results in smoother signal lines, reduced false crossovers and better trend identification. Traditional moving averages tend to lag and smooth out important features. Additionally, simple moving averages can miss critical turning points and regular smoothing can delay signal generation.
SG filtering preserves higher moments such as peaks, valleys and trends, reduces noise while maintaining signal sharpness.
It works by creating a symmetric weighting scheme. This way center points get the highest weights while edge points get the lowest weight.
3. Parkinson's Volatility
Parkinson's Volatility is an advanced volatility measurement formula using high-low range data. It uses high-low range for volatility calculation, incorporates logarithmic returns and annualized the volatility measure.
This results in more accurate volatility measurement, better risk assessment and dynamic signal sensitivity.
4. Multi-timeframe Momentum
This combines signals from each module for each timeframe to calculate momentum across three timeframes. It also applies weighted importance to each timeframe and generates a composite momentum signal.
This results in a more comprehensive trend analysis, reduced timeframe bias and better trend confirmation.
> Indicator Settings
Short-term Period:
Lower values makes it more sensitive, meaning it will generate more signals. Higher values makes it less sensitive, resulting in fewer signals. We recommend a 5 to 15 range for day trading, and 10 to 20 for swing trading
Medium-term Period:
Lower values result in faster trend confirmation and higher values show slower and more reliable confirmation. We recommend a range of 15-25 for day trading and 20-30 for swing trading.
Long-term Period:
Lower values makes it more responsive to trend changes and higher values are better for major trend identification. We recommend a range of 40-60 for day trading and 50-100 for swing trading.
Volume Analysis Window:
Lower values result in more sensitivity to volume changes and higher values result in smoother volume analysis. The optimal range is 15-25 for most trading styles.
Confidence Threshold:
Lower values generate more signals but quality decreases. Higher values generate fewer signals but accuracy increases.The optimal range is 0.65-0.8 for most trading conditions.
Reversal Probability Zone & Levels [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Probability Zone & Levels tool allows traders to identify a zone starting from the last detected reversal to highlight the probability of where the next reversal would be from a price and time perspective.
Price and time levels within the zone are displayed for up to 4 percentiles defined by the user.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays a zone with the 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles on both the price and time axis, indicating where, when and how many of the past reversals have occurred.
Traders can select the length for swing detection and the maximum number of reversals for probability calculations. The tool considers both bullish and bearish reversals separately, which means that if the last reversal was a swing high, the zone would show the probabilities for the last defined Maximum reversals
The Maximum reversals value has a direct impact on the probabilities, the more data traders use the more significant the result, probabilities over 10 occurrences are far weak compared to probabilities over 1000 occurrences.
🔹 Percentiles
Traders can fine-tune the percentile parameters in the settings panel.
A given percentile means that the number of occurrences in the data set is less than or equal to the percentile.
In English, this means
Percentile 20th: 20% of the occurrences are less than or equal to this value, so 80% of the occurrences are greater than this value.
Percentile 50th: 50% of the occurrences are below and 50% are above this value.
Percentile 80th: 80% of occurrences are lower than or equal to this value, so 20% of occurrences are greater than this value.
🔹 Normalize data
The Normalize Data feature allows traders to make an apples to apples comparison when we have a lot of historical data on high timeframe charts, using returns between swings instead of raw price.
🔹 Display Style
By default, the tool has the No overlapping feature enabled to display a clean chart, traders can turn it off, but this can fill the chart with too much information and barely see the price.
Traders can enable/disable settings to show only the last zone and the swing markers on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The maximum length in bars used to identify a swing
Maximum Reversals: Maximum number of reversals included in calculations
Normalize Data: Use returns between swings instead of raw price
Percentiles: Enable/disable each of the four percentiles and select the percentile number, line style, colors, and size
🔹 Style
No Overlapping Zones: Enable or disable the No overlap between zones feature
Show Only Last Zone: Enable/disable display of last zone only
Show Marks: Enable/disable reversal markers

Regarding the three Strategy Indicator Settings:
1. Conversion Line Length (Default: 9)
What It Does:
The Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen) is a short-term moving average that represents the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over the specified period (default: 9).
It acts as a fast-moving signal line, similar to a short-term moving average.
Recommendations:
Default Setting (9): Works well for most timeframes, especially higher timeframes like Daily (D1) or Weekly, as it captures short-term momentum effectively.
Shorter Timeframes (M15, H1): Consider reducing this value to 6 or 7 to make the Conversion Line more responsive to rapid price changes.
Higher Timeframes (D1, Weekly): Stick with the default value of 9 to avoid excessive noise.
When to Adjust:
Decrease if you want faster signals for scalping or intraday trading.
Increase slightly (e.g., to 10 or 12) if you want smoother signals for swing trading.
2. Base Line Length (Default: 26)
What It Does:
The Base Line (Kijun-sen) is a medium-term moving average that represents the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over the specified period (default: 26).
It serves as a key support/resistance level and a trend confirmation signal when crossed by the Conversion Line.
Recommendations:
Default Setting (26): Standard for most markets and timeframes. It balances responsiveness with stability.
Shorter Timeframes: Reduce to 20–22 for faster signals in volatile markets.
Higher Timeframes: Stick with the default value of 26 or increase slightly to 30 for smoother trend confirmation.
When to Adjust:
Decrease for quicker trend signals in fast-moving markets.
Increase for long-term trading strategies where you want stronger support/resistance levels.
3. Lagging Span Length (Default: 52)
What It Does:
The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) plots the current closing price shifted backward by the specified number of periods (default: 52).
It helps confirm trends by comparing current price action to past price levels.
Recommendations:
Default Setting (52): Works well across most timeframes, as it aligns with traditional Ichimoku settings designed for long-term trends.
Shorter Timeframes: Reduce slightly to around 40–45 if you want quicker trend confirmations in intraday trading.
Higher Timeframes: Keep at the default value of 52, as it provides reliable confirmation of long-term trends.
When to Adjust:
Decrease for faster confirmation in high-volatility environments.
Increase only if you are focusing on very long-term trends, such as on Monthly charts.

Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ [Alpha Extract]Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+
The AE's Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ is designed to detect momentum shifts and divergence patterns, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points. By normalizing momentum readings and applying divergence detection, it enhances market timing for entries and exits.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator calculates normalized momentum using a combination of Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) and volatility-adjusted smoothing techniques. It highlights overbought and oversold conditions while identifying bullish and bearish divergences.
Core Calculation:
ATR-based volatility adjustment ensures dynamic sensitivity.
DPO is derived from the price minus a simple moving average (SMA) to isolate cyclical movements.
Momentum score is normalized using historical max values for consistent scaling.
Thresholds are dynamically adjusted based on average absolute momentum.
dpo = close - ma
sd = (dpo / volatility) * 100
normalizedSD = sd / maxAbsSD
The momentum score is plotted as a histogram, where:
Green bars indicate strong upward momentum.
Red bars indicate strong downward momentum.
Neutral values fade into gray.
🔶 DETAILS
📊 Visual Features:
Histogram bars dynamically color-coded based on momentum strength.
Threshold bands provide reference points for overbought and oversold levels.
Divergence markers (Bullish/Bearish & Hidden Bullish/Bearish) highlight key reversal signals.
🛠 How Divergences Work:
Bullish Divergence (𝓞𝓢): Price makes a lower low while momentum makes a higher low.
Bearish Divergence (𝓞𝓑): Price makes a higher high while momentum makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences confirm trend continuations rather than reversals.
📌 Example of Divergence Logic:
bullishDiv = (low == priceLow) and (sd > momentumLow)
bearishDiv = (high == priceHigh) and (sd < momentumHigh)
🔶 EXAMPLES
📍 The chart below illustrates price reacting to momentum divergences, identifying potential tops and bottoms before major price moves.

Fibonacci Cycle Finder🟩 Fibonacci Cycle Finder is an indicator designed to explore Fibonacci-based waves and cycles through visualization and experimentation, introducing a trigonometric approach to market structure analysis. Unlike traditional Fibonacci tools that rely on static horizontal levels, this indicator incorporates the dynamic nature of market cycles, using adjustable wavelength, phase, and amplitude settings to visualize the rhythm of price movements. By applying a sine function, it provides a structured way to examine Fibonacci relationships in a non-linear context.
Fibonacci Cycle Finder unifies Fibonacci principles with a wave-based method by employing adjustable parameters to align each wave with real-time price action. By default, the wave begins with minimal curvature, preserving the structural familiarity of horizontal Fibonacci retracements. By adjusting the input parameters, the wave can subtly transition from a horizontal line to a more pronounced cycle,visualizing cyclical structures within price movement. This projective structure extends potential cyclical outlines on the chart, opening deeper exploration of how Fibonacci relationships may emerge over time.
Fibonacci Cycle Finder further underscores a non-linear representation of price by illustrating how wave-based logic can uncover shifts that are missed by static retracement tools. Rather than imposing immediate oscillatory behavior, the indicator encourages a progressive approach, where the parameters may be incrementally modified to align wave structures with observed price action. This refinement process deepens the exploration of Fibonacci relationships, offering a systematic way to experiment with non-linear price dynamics. In doing so, it revisits fundamental Fibonacci concepts, demonstrating their broader adaptability beyond fixed horizontal retracements.
🌀 THEORY & CONCEPT 🌀
What if Fibonacci relationships could be visualized as dynamic waves rather than confined to fixed horizontal levels? Fibonacci Cycle Finder introduces a trigonometric approach to market structure analysis, offering a different perspective on Fibonacci-based cycles. This tool provides a way to visualize market fluctuations through cyclical wave motion, opening the door to further exploration of Fibonacci’s role in non-linear price behavior.
Traditional Fibonacci tools, such as retracements and extensions, have long been used to identify potential support and resistance levels. While valuable for analyzing price trends, these tools assume linear price movement and rely on static horizontal levels. However, market fluctuations often exhibit cyclical tendencies , where price follows natural wave-like structures rather than strictly adhering to fixed retracement points. Although Fibonacci-based tools such as arcs, fans, and time zones attempt to address these patterns, they primarily apply geometric projections. The Fibonacci Cycle Finder takes a different approach by mapping Fibonacci ratios along structured wave cycles, aligning these relationships with the natural curvature of market movement rather than forcing them onto rigid price levels.
Rather than replacing traditional Fibonacci methods, the Fibonacci Cycle Finder supplements existing Fibonacci theory by introducing an exploratory approach to price structure analysis. It encourages traders to experiment with how Fibonacci ratios interact with cyclical price structures, offering an additional layer of insight beyond static retracements and extensions. This approach allows Fibonacci levels to be examined beyond their traditional static form, providing deeper insights into market fluctuations.
📊 FIBONACCI WAVE IMPLEMENTATION 📊
The Fibonacci Cycle Finder uses two user-defined swing points, A and B, as the foundation for projecting these Fibonacci waves. It first establishes standard horizontal levels that correspond to traditional Fibonacci retracements, ensuring a baseline reference before wave adjustments are applied. By default, the wave is intentionally subtle— Wavelength is set to 1 , Amplitude is set to 1 , and Phase is set to 0 . In other words, the wave starts as “stretched out.” This allows a slow, measured start, encouraging users to refine parameters incrementally rather than producing abrupt oscillations. As these parameters are increased, the wave takes on more distinct sine and cosine characteristics, offering a flexible approach to exploring Fibonacci-based cyclicity within price action.
Three parameters control the shape of the Fibonacci wave:
1️⃣ Wavelength Controls the horizontal spacing of the wave along the time axis, determining the length of one full cycle from peak to peak (or trough to trough). In this indicator, Wavelength acts as a scaling input that adjusts how far the wave extends across time, rather than a strict mathematical “wavelength.” Lower values further stretch the wave, increasing the spacing between oscillations, while higher values compress it into a more frequent cycle. Each full cycle is divided into four quarter-cycle segments, a deliberate design choice to minimize curvature by default. This allows for subtle oscillations and smoother transitions, preventing excessive distortion while maintaining flexibility in wave projections. The wavelength is calculated relative to the A-B swing, ensuring that its scale adapts dynamically to the selected price range.
2️⃣ Amplitude Defines the vertical displacement of the wave relative to the baseline Fibonacci level. Higher values increase the height of oscillations, while lower values reduce the height, Negative values will invert the wave’s initial direction. The amplitude is dynamically applied in relation to the A-B swing direction, ensuring that an upward swing results in upward oscillations and a downward swing results in downward oscillations.
3️⃣ Phase Shifts the wave’s starting position along its cycle, adjusting alignment relative to the swing points. A phase of 0 aligns with a sine wave, where the cycle starts at zero and rises. A phase of 25 aligns with a cosine wave, starting at a peak and descending. A phase of 50 inverts the sine wave, beginning at zero but falling first, while a phase of 75 aligns with an inverted cosine , starting at a trough and rising. Intermediate values between these phases create gradual shifts in wave positioning, allowing for finer alignment with observed market structures.
By fine-tuning these parameters, users can adapt Fibonacci waves to better reflect observed market behaviors. The wave structure integrates with price movements rather than simply overlaying static levels, allowing for a more dynamic representation of cyclical price tendencies. This indicator serves as an exploratory tool for understanding potential market rhythms, encouraging traders to test and visualize how Fibonacci principles extend beyond their traditional applications.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
Following this downtrend, price interacts with curved Fibonacci levels, highlighting resistance at the 0.236 and 0.382 levels, where price stalls before pulling back. Support emerges at the 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786 levels, where price finds stability and rebounds
In this Fibonacci retracement, price initially finds support at the 1.0 level, following the natural curvature of the cycle. Resistance forms at 0.786, leading to a pullback before price breaks through and tests 0.618 as resistance. Once 0.618 is breached, price moves upward to test 0.5, illustrating how Fibonacci-based cycles may align with evolving market structure beyond static, horizontal retracements.
Following this uptrend, price retraces downward and interacts with the Fibonacci levels, demonstrating both support and resistance at key levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, and 0.618.
With only the 0.5 and 1.0 levels enabled, this chart remains uncluttered while still highlighting key price interactions. The short cycle length results in a mild curvature, aligning smoothly with market movement. Price finds resistance at the 0.5 level while showing strong support at 1.0, which follows the natural flow of the market. Keeping the focus on fewer levels helps maintain clarity while still capturing how price reacts within the cycle.

Kalman Filter Trend BreakersThe Kalman filter is a recursive algorithm developed in 1960 by Rudolf E. Kálmán, a Hungarian-American engineer and mathematician, that provides optimal estimates of a system's state by combining noisy measurements with a predictive model. It is widely used in control systems, signal processing, and finance for tracking and forecasting.
In trading, KF might be a good replacement for a moving average, as it reacts to price changes in a different way. Not only it follows price direction, but can also track the velocity of price change. This specific behaviour of KF is used in this indicator to track changes in trends.
Trend is characterized by price moving directionally, however, any trend comes to pause or complete stop and reversal, as the price changes more slowly (a trend fades into a sideways movement for a while) or the price movement changes direction, thus making a reversal.
This indicator detects the points where such changes occur (trend breaker points), and produces signals, which serve as points of current trend pausing or reversing. By applying different settings for KF calculation, you can produce less or more signals that indicate change in trend character, and either detect only significant trends changes, or less and shorter trends changes as well.
The signals do not differentiate the exact type of a trend change (it can be a brief trend pause followed by a continuation, as well as a complete reversal). However, once you are in a trend, the significant velocity change indicates a change in trend structure. In this sense, trend breaker signals should not be followed blindly, and can be used only as trend (and subsequently, position) exit confirmations, but not the entry contrarian confirmations.
For better visual representation, you can use chart signals attached to bars, and additionally paint a vertical gradient at each signal which shows significant trend deceleration.
Kalman filter calculations used in this indicator are partially based on an open-source code from @loxx which was published in 2022 as Kalman filter overlay .
EMA Ribbon overlay with Trend-Based Color TransitionThis indicator visualizes an EMA Ribbon with a trend-based color transition. It helps traders quickly identify market trends and transitions between bullish and bearish movements.
How It Works

Smart Money Index + True Strength IndexThe Smart Money Index + True Strength Index indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis indicators: the Smart Money Index (SMI) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This combined indicator helps traders identify potential entry points for long and short positions based on signals from both indexes.
Main Components:
Smart Money Index (SMI):
The SMI measures the difference between the closing and opening price of a candle multiplied by the trading volume over a certain period of time. This allows you to assess the activity of large players ("smart money") in the market. If the SMI value is above a certain threshold (smiThreshold), it may indicate a bullish trend, and if lower, it may indicate a bearish trend.
True Strength Index (TSI):
The TSI is an oscillator that measures the strength of a trend by comparing the price change of the current bar with the previous bar. It uses two exponential moving averages (EMAS) to smooth the data. TSI values can fluctuate around zero, with values above the overbought level indicating a possible downward correction, and values below the oversold level signaling a possible upward correction.
Parameters:
SMI Length: Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average SMI value. The default value is 14.
SMI Threshold: A threshold value that is used to determine a buy or sell signal. The default value is 0.
Length of the first TSI smoothing (tsiLength1): The length of the first EMA for calculating TSI. The default value is 25.
Second TSI smoothing length (tsiLength2): The length of the second EMA for additional smoothing of TSI values. The default value is 13.
TSI Overbought level: The level at which the market is considered to be overbought. The default value is 25.
Oversold level TSI: The level at which it is considered that the market is in an oversold state. The default value is -25.
Logic of operation:
SMI calculation:
First, the difference between the closing and opening price of each candle (close - open) is calculated.
This difference is then multiplied by the trading volume.
The resulting product is averaged using a simple moving average (SMA) over a specified period (smiLength).
Calculation of TSI:
The price change relative to the previous bar is calculated (close - close ).
The first EMA with the length tsiLength1 is applied.
Next, a second EMA with a length of tsiLength2 is applied to obtain the final TSI value.
The absolute value of price changes is calculated in the same way, and two emas are also applied.
The final TSI index is calculated as the ratio of these two values multiplied by 100.
Graphical representation:
The SMI and TSI lines are plotted on the graph along with their respective thresholds.
For SMI, the line is drawn in orange, and the threshold level is dotted in gray.
For the TSI, the line is plotted in blue, the overbought and oversold levels are indicated by red and green dotted lines, respectively.
Conditions for buy/sell signals:
A buy (long) signal is generated when:
SMI is greater than the threshold (smi > smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the oversold level from bottom to top (ta.crossover(tsi, oversold)).
A sell (short) signal is generated when:
SMI is less than the threshold (smi < smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the overbought level from top to bottom (ta.crossunder(tsi, overbought)).
Signal display:
When the conditions for a long or short are met, labels labeled "LONG" or "SHORT" appear on the chart.
The label for the long is located under the candle and is colored green, and for the short it is above the candle and is colored red.
Notification generation:
The indicator also supports notifications via the TradingView platform. Notifications are sent when conditions arise for a long or short position.
This combined indicator provides the trader with the opportunity to use both SMI and TSI signals simultaneously, which can improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
