Description:
The volatility quality index was first introduced by Thomas Stridsman in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine in the August 2002 edition.
This powerful indicator points out the difference between bad and good volatility in order to identify better trade opportunities in the market.
It is suggested to use this indicator as a confirmation signal together with the other indicators in your system.
General Usage
Stridsman suggested buying (or "to go long") when VQ has increased in the previous 10 bars and selling (or "to go short") when it has decreased in the previous 10 bars.
This indicator has been updated to reflect its modern iterations. One of the following signals are choosable trading signal generator:
VQ Sum
Short MA
Long MA
All three signal triggering conditions can selectively be drawn on the indicator for study and reference purposes.
In addition, generated buy and sell signals can be drawn on the indicator and are modifiable too.
Alerts
To allow alert notifications, generated signals are connected as selectable "Long Signal" and "Short Signal" to the indicator alerts.
The conditions can be found on the alert sections of the indicator.
In the menu right to the indicator name, press the three dots and select "Add alert on ...".
Under condition options select one of the following:
Long Signal
Short Signal
It is advised to select "Once per bar close" as alert execution option.

Index OverlayNote: use this indicator only with New York Timezone + you need to understand ICT concepts already, this indicator simplifies the chart work.
Also, in this script I added some open-source scripts from creators here on tradingview, but I forgot to annotate their names...
If you recognize your script, please text me and I'll add your credits.
features
- displays Midnight and Sunday open lines
- day separation (from midnight)
- FVGs
- VWAP (calculated from midnight open)
- daily labels
- TDH & TDL (liquidity)
- trading time window (from 9:30 to 12:00 ny time)
HOW TO USE
Combined with daily bias, the idea is to wait for 9:30 to open, and then wait for a liquidation of TDH (plotted in blue) or TDL (in red).
Once it happens, you can look for ICT buy / sell model, ideally in the 5m TF.
Alex's Dikfat Velocity 2hr CCI Color SignalerAlex's Dikfat Velocity 2hr CCI Color Signaler
As most traders have experienced at one time or another, over bought and oversold readings are relative in nature and do not always work as a standalone reading.
Momentum indicators such as the Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) have to be understood and read correctly to determine the value in a momentum reading.
When an asset is "Overbought" or "Oversold" the reading can remain in this region Irrationally for extended periods as the market remains in irrational trend.
In order to better understand this and other readings on a momentum indicator clues such as divergence, exhaustion, continuation, time and frequency as well as the actual velocity of the movement must be measured. In addition, there are very specific measurement lines on the CCI that must be read and that can reject or break and result in the asset either loosing or gaining momentum in one direction or the other. These are the dashed lines in the background.
For the purposes of this Indicator, the actual function, characterization and use of CCI will not be explained here as the colored indications themselves will do all the work for you.
It is very important to know that the calculations used to signal the color filling ARE NOT based on simple breaks of the dashed background lines as traditionally read with a CCI indicator.
The calculations used in this Indicator are based on a very fine tuned mathematical algorithm that measure an unseen element within the CCI . When the VELOCITY of a move in momentum is met, the color fills will begin. When the VELOCITY of the move changes, so to will colorization. This has led to some of the best High Probability Long and Short Sale signaling in any CCI indicator. Pairing this with your favorite chart indicators and personal analysis will result in high tradability but can also be used stand alone.
Remember: No one single indicator should ever be used to determine market signaling.
A basic understanding of a CCI indicator is recommended before using this indicator.
This indicator and the proprietary calculations used were built and meant to be used on the 2 Hour Timeframe. The indicator is open to all time frames and accuracy increases as the time frame increases.
It is recommended that if you use this indicator on a lower timeframe, to pull CCI readings from a higher Timeframe as found in the settings.
This indicator signals long and short opportunities. High Probability long and short trades, bullish and bearish divergence building, market time traps and bullish / bearish continuation as well as exhaustion of these moves.
There is also a companion indicator which will signal the High Probability Long and Short trades on the candle chart called "Alex's Dikfat CCI Equity Signaler" Which will place white Triangles on the candle chart showing high probability long entries and Orange Triangles for High Probability short entries. These are also built into the CCI line and can be turned on in this indicator.
Color Code:
Bullish Continuation: (Background Color Black)
The function of the black background colorization is to alert the user that a bullish move has begun and is currently in a strong continuation period. the longer the black background color draws, the more sustained or trending up the current move is. When these background lines begin to break and start to appear as more frequent broken background lines, exhaustion in the move can be assumed. When the black stops drawing all together, the strength of the continuation move is gone.
Bearish Continuation: (Background Color Fuchsia)
The function of the fuchsia background colorization is to alert the user that a bearish move has begun and is currently in a strong continuation period. the longer the fuchsia background color draws, the more sustained or trending down the current move is. When these background lines begin to break and start to appear as more frequent broken background lines, exhaustion in the move can be assumed. When the fuchsia stops drawing all together, the strength of the continuation move is gone.
High Probability Long/Short:
These buy and sell opportunities were designed to give a trader the best signal/entry on a Long or a Short with the highest probability of making a large and typically sustained impulse move.
High Probability Long: (White Color Fill)
The High Probability Long is a signal to BUY with the best possible entry on an a pending large impulse move to the upside. When White begins to fill, The long is extremely likely. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after white begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows, or white dips below the zero line. White will always usually start just below the zero line in the highest probability scenarios.
High Probability Short: (Orange Color Fill)
The High Probability Short is a signal to SELL SHORT with the best possible entry on a pending large impulse move to the downside. When Orange begins to fill, The Short is extremely likely. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after orange begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows. Some of the best entries for Orange are when it starts at the END of a black stripe in the background and better so when Orange dips below zero for entry. The signal was designed to color early enough to get in a short during consolidation before the move.
Long and Short Opportunities: Long and Short opportunities are just as they sound. Coloring will signal green for a long opportunity and red for a short opportunity. These opportunities are not always guaranteed and usually result in an lesser impulse move in one direction with a shorter duration.
Long Opportunity: (Green)
The Long Opportunity is a signal that a Long is possible however with less likely odds of a larger more sustained move. When Green begins to fill, a long opportunity is available. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after green begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows, or green dips below the zero line. Green will always usually start just above the zero line and have the best opportunities at the end of Bullish Divergence (Blue) at the end of Bearish Continuation (Fuchsia) or a non filled CCI .
Short Opportunity: (Red)
The Short Opportunity is a signal that a Short is possible however with less likely odds of a larger more sustained move. When Red begins to fill, a short opportunity is available. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after red begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows. Some of the best entries for Red are when it starts at the END of a black stripe in the background (higher odds than other red signaling). The signal was designed to color early enough to get in a short during consolidation before the move and better so if orange develops after red.
Bullish Divergence: (Dark Blue)
Dark Blue colors when Bullish Divergence is detected. Bullish divergence is a signal that momentum is building higher within the asset for an up move while price action in the candle chart makes lower lows. Bullish Divergence is not a signal to buy or sell but rather a sign post to say WAIT. Bullish divergence is building and a Long is coming. Some traders will buy bullish divergence in anticipation of a move and is only equitable if you have the cash and resolve to follow it through for as long as it is developing. Buying or selling divergence right away is not always the best practice unless a hard dip below all momentum lines followed by an immediate buy signal from white or green resulting in a drop base rally.
Bearish Divergence: (Dark Maroon)
Dark Maroon colors when Bearish Divergence is detected. Bearish divergence is a signal that momentum is dropping out of the asset for a move lower while price action in the candle chart makes higher highs. Bearish Divergence is not a signal to buy or sell but rather a sign post to say WAIT. Bearish divergence is building and a Short is coming. Some traders will sell bearish divergence in anticipation of a move and is only equitable if you have the cash and resolve to follow it through for as long as it is developing. Buying or selling divergence right away is not always the best practice unless a hard rip above all momentum lines followed by an immediate sell signal from red or orange resulting in a rally base drop.
No Color Fill:
When CCI has no color fill whatsoever it is telling the trader there are no high velocity movements in momentum in any direction. Best practice is to do nothing and wait out the Time Trap currently on the chart until signaling develops.
Time and Frequency:
Time and frequency is notable throughout the indicator. First and foremost when CCI is not being filled it is best practice to do nothing as there is NO Velocity of Movement within the asset at that time. This is one of the most obvious of Time Traps.
Bullish and Bearish Divergence is also a type of Time Trap. The longer these develop, the more weak hands are shaken out of the market and derivatives traders have their premium burned. Best practice with divergences is also to wait until adequate signaling develops, or be willing to buy or sell the appropriate divergence by accumulating or distributing for as long as it develops; or simply to buy/sell and hold for the move.
Any Sustained color for extended periods of time is also a time trap signaling to the trader that the asset is being irrational in its present move.
Bullish and Bearish Continuation:
These also deal with time and frequency most importantly. When we are on a sustained Bull Run, black will color in the background continuously. When the black starts to barcode or break up, exhaustion of the bull run is assumed as the frequency of the run becomes erratic. Inversely, When we are on a sustained Bear Run, fuchsia will color in the background continuously. When the fuchsia starts to barcode or break up, exhaustion of the bear run is assumed as the frequency of the run becomes erratic.
The color scheme is designed to be read from darkest to lightest when a sequence of events is found. I.E Dark Maroon>Red>Orange or Inversely Dark Blue>Green>White
In keeping with the best practices and traditions of TradingView, we have published this as a public script with the best intentions of aiding the TradingView community in unique and valuable ways.

The indicator is to be used in order to determine the agressiveness of the position sizing in the market. Green conditions show very favorable market for long positions and yellow show ok conditions. However, during red condition the trader is advised not to be aggressively exposed in the market
MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)MTF Commodity Oddity Index (CCI+)
This chart overlay indicator is based upon the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and can signal multiple triple-timeframe CCI overbought and oversold confluences directly onto your chart, intended for use as a confluence either for reversal trade entries, or potential trade exits, indicating where price may be probable to reverse.
Features include:
- Primary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Secondary set of fully configurable triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals, indicating where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time. Enabled by default.
- Optional drawing of background colours and/or ribbon seen at bottom of the chart image.
- The default primary MTF #1 timeframes are set to 1 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute. These are highly suitable for low timeframe scalpers trading on < 5m charts, and can often pin point price reversals.
- The default Secondary MTF #2 timeframes are set to 15 minute, 30 minute and 120 minute. These are suitable for both low timeframe scalpers and considerably higher timeframe traders.
- Independent alerts for MTF #1 and MTF #2 triple-timeframe confluences, including options for alerting MTF overbought and MTF oversold individually, as well as an option for alerting either overbought or oversold in a single combined alert.
- Also includes standard configurable CCI options, including CC length and source type.
Note: The features listed above are accurate at the time of publishing but maybe updated or added to in future.
A similar MTF CCI indicator is also available as a panel indicator here .
This indicator is based upon the original MTF Fantastic Stochastic (FS+) available here .
What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?
Investopedia has described the popular oscillator as follows:
“The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.
Developed by Donald Lambert, this technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.”
You can read more about the CCI , its use cases and calculations here .
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is traditionally when the CCI is above the 100 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the -100 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the CCI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the CCI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the CCI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the CCI . While traditionally, the overbought and oversold levels are below -100 for oversold, and above 100 for overbought, the default threshold settings of this indicator have been increased to provide fewer, stronger signals, especially suited to the low timeframes and highly volatile assets.
MTF CCI + Realtime DivergencesMulti-timeframe Commodity Channel Index (CCI) + Realtime Divergences + Alerts
This version of the CCI includes the following features:
- Optional 2x sets of triple-timeframe overbought and oversold signals with fully configurable timeframes and overbought and oversold thresholds, can indicate where 3 selected timeframes are all overbought or all oversold at the same time, with alert option.
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime, with alert options.
- Configurable pivot periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes, including the ability to enable automatic adjustment of pivot period per chart timeframe.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
- 'Hide oscillator' feature allows traders to hide the oscillator itself, leaving only the background colours indicating the overbought and oversold periods and/or MTF overbought and oversold confluences, as seen in the chart image.
- Also includes standard configurable CCI options, including CCI length and source type. Defaults set to length 20, and hlc3 source type.
- Optional Flip oscillator feature, allows users to flip the oscillator upside down, for use with Tradingviews 'Flip chart' feature (Alt+i), for the purpose of manually spotting divergences, where the trader has a strong natural bias in one direction, so that they can flip both the chart and the oscillator.
- Optional 'Fade oscillator' feature, which will fade out all but the most recent period, reducing visual noise on the chart.
While this version of the CCI has the ability to draw divergences in realtime along with related alerts so you can be notified as divergences occur without spending all day watching the charts, the main purpose of this indicator was to provide the triple-timeframe overbought and oversold confluence signals, in an attempt to add more confluence, weight and reliability to the single timeframe overbought and oversold states, commonly used for trade entry confluence. It's primary purpose is intended for scalping reversal trades on lower timeframes, typically between 1-15 minutes, which can be used in conjunction with the regular divergences the indicator can highlight. The triple timeframe overbought can often indicate near term reversals to the downside, with the triple timeframe oversold often indicating neartime reversals to the upside. The default timeframes for this confluence are set to check the 1m, 5m and 15m timeframes together, ideal for scalping the < 15 minute charts. The default settings for the MTF #1 timeframes (1m, 5m and 15m) are best used on a <5 minute chart.
Its design and use case is based upon the original MTF Stoch RSI + Realtime Divergences found here .

What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose, and also when the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluences occur.
Configurable pivot period.
You can adjust the default pivot period values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action. By default, this indicator has enabled the automatic adjustment of the pivot periods for 4 configurable timeframes, in a bid to optimise the divergences drawn when the indicator is loaded onto any of the 4 timeframes. These timeframes and the auto adjusted pivot periods on each of them can also be reconfigured within the settings menu.

[TTI] Stage Analysis Momentum Index––––History & Credit
The credit to this indicator goes to Stan Weinstein, the father of Stage Analysis. By studying his books and methods he has disclosed the exact way of calculating the Momentum Index that is being used by him and his team in order to gauge the market.
–––––What it does
The indicator falls into the category of technical indicators used by Stan. It calculates an simple moving average based on the difference between the Advancing and Declining issues on various markets.
The settings of the indicator allow to adjust the length of the moving average as well to choose 1 of the 3 markets for which it has been scripted to work: NYSE, NASDAQ or Total US Stocks.
–––––How to use it
The indicator ought to be used on the daily chart
The most important thing to look for is if the indicator is if it is above zero and below zero. A below zero Momentum index is an outright bearish signal and traders should consider stepping out of the market or initiate short positions.
The other things that ought to be considered are the depth and length of the prior to a violating action. In a nutshell the longer, stronger the above zero action the more powerful a below zero cross will be.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) + Realtime DivergencesRelative Strength Index (RSI) + Realtime Divergences
This version of the RSI indicator includes the following features:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime.
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the RSI oscillator has crossed above or below its centerline.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
- Fadeout oscillator feature will fade out all but the most recent history, leaving your chart free of visual noise.
- Flip oscillator feature can be used with the Tradingview 'Flip chart' feature (Alt+i) in order to flip both the chart and the oscillator, too. This feature is to help traders manually spot divergences that may have a strong natural bias in one direction.
- Optional centerline and range bands.
- Various optional moving average types, bollinger bands etc.
This indicator adds additional features onto the standard RSI whose core calculations remain unchanged. Namely, the configurable option to automatically, quickly and clearly draw divergence lines onto the oscillator for you as they occur in realtime. It also has the addition of unique alerts, so you can be notified when divergences occur without spending all day watching the charts. Furthermore, this version of the RSI comes with configurable lookback periods, which can be configured in order to adjust the sensitivity of the divergences, in order to suit shorter or higher timeframe trading approaches.
What is the Relative Strength Index ( RSI )?
Investopedia describes the Relative Strength Index as follows:
“The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100. The indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
The RSI can do more than point to overbought and oversold securities. It can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought situation. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.”
The RSI is also commonly used to spot divergences.
You can read more about the RSI and its calculations here
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot periods.
You can adjust the default pivot periods to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.
Disclaimer: This script includes code from the stock RSI by Tradingview as well as the Divergence for Many Indicators v4 by LonesomeTheBlue.
Price Action AverageThis indicator is perfect for scalping in 1 minute, it consists of a channel and a line that is made up of the average of the highs and lows of the price in 12 and 64 cycles.
The channel has as its center a 7 cycles SMA, when the average line (Called Signal, the purple one) crosses the upper band it is time to make a Long.
If it crosses the lower band it is time to make a short, if the line returns to the channel a signal appears to close the operation.
The indicator works with all timeframes, I use it on the 1 hour chart and I do the trades in 1 minute.

The core calculations of the UFO+ combine the factory settings of the Ultimate Oscillator and Money Flow Index, taking an average of their combined values for its output eg:
UO_Value + MFI_Value / 2
The result is a powerful oscillator capable of detecting high quality divergences, including on very low timeframes and highly volatile markets, it benefits from the higher weighting of the most recent price action provided by the Ultimate Oscillators calculations, as well as the calculation of the MFI, which incorporates volume data. The UFO and its incorporated 2x triple-timeframe MTF Stoch RSI overbought and oversold signals makes it well adapted for low timeframe scalping and regular divergence trades in particular.
The Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Tradingview describes the Ultimate Oscillator as follows:
“The Ultimate Oscillator indicator (UO) is a technical analysis tool used to measure momentum across three varying timeframes. The problem with many momentum oscillators is that after a rapid advance or decline in price, they can form false divergence trading signals. For example, after a rapid rise in price, a bearish divergence signal may present itself, however price continues to rise. The Ultimate Oscillator attempts to correct this by using multiple timeframes in its calculation as opposed to just one timeframe which is what is used in most other momentum oscillators.”

The Money Flow Index ( MFI )
Investopedia describes the True Strength Indicator as follows:
“The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .”

The Stochastic RSI (relating to the built-in MTF Stoch RSI feature)
The popular oscillator has been described as follows:
“The Stochastic RSI is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index ( RSI ) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The Stochastic RSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change.”

How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI .
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot period.
You can adjust the default pivot lookback values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.

Rainbow ChannelI have designed this indicator with the idea of staying focused on the price during the corresponding trend, for this I have built a rainbow channel
The upper part of the channel is painted in colors during the uptrend, at this time the lower part turns gray to focus only on the longs signals
The lower part of the channel is painted in colors during the downtrend, at this time the upper part turns gray to focus only on the shorts signals
The signals are followed by a mark that indicates when to close that trade.
The indicator works with all timeframes, I use it on the 1 hour chart and I do the trades in 1 minute.

Unified Composite Index [UCI] [KuraiBlu] [LazyBear]The purpose of this indicator is to combine the four basic types of indicators (Trend, Volatility, Momentum and Volume) to create a singular, composite index in order to provide a more holistic means of observing potential changes within the market, known as the Unified Composite Index . The indicators used in this index are as follows:
Trend - Trend Composite Index
Volatility - Bollinger Bands %b
Momentum - Relative Strength Index
Volume - Money Flow Index
The average price source can’t be altered as I’ve made it an average between ((open + close) / 2) and ((high + low) / 2).
The best way to use this is by observing several of the indicators at once in conjunction with the average, rather than simply using the average produced to determine the right moment to enter, or exit a trade by itself. I've found when one indicator goes way out of bounds relative to the other three (and subsequently, the average array), then it presents a good buying, or selling opportunity.
Some adjustments were made to several of the indicators in order to standardize them on a scale of 1-100 so that they could better accommodate the average array that was finally produced. Thanks to LazyBear for letting me strip down the WaveTrend Oscillator.
DoubleRSI fast/slow signal buy/sell with alert Relative StrengthA combination of two Relative strength index. One fast and one slow line. In a system, this indicator can serve as an additional confirmation.
For example, for a long entry:
slow RSI cross above 50 level and fast RSI cross above 70 level. then check volume and use another indicator such as a MACD for extra confirmation
For example, for a short entry:
slow RSI cross below 50 and fast RSI cross below 30 level. then check volume and use another indicator such as a MACD for confirmation
An alarm function has also been added.
the following settings are possible:
- Source
- Length
- Color
I do not recommend to use this indicator alone.
have fun using this simple and helpful tool.
MFI + Realtime DivergencesMoney Flow Index (MFI) + Realtime Divergences + Alerts
This version of the MFI indicator adds the following 5 additional features to the stock MFI:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime.
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes, including the ability to enable automatic adjustment of pivot period per chart timeframe.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the MFI oscillator has crossed above or below its centerline, or optionally when both the MFI has crossed its centerline and an external oscillator, which can be linked via the settings, has also crossed its centerline.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
This indicator adds additional features onto the standard MFI , whose core calculations remain unchanged. Namely the configurable option to automatically, quickly and clearly draw divergence lines onto the oscillator for you as they occur in realtime. It also has the addition of unique alerts, so you can be notified when divergences occur without spending all day watching the charts. Furthermore, this version of the TSI comes with configurable lookback periods, which can be configured in order to adjust the sensitivity of the divergences, in order to suit shorter or higher timeframe trading approaches.

Strength of Divergence Across Multiple IndicatorsOverview:
One-stop shop for all your divergence needs, including:
(1) A single metric for divergence strength across multiple indicators.
(2) Labels that make it easy to spot where the truly strong divergence is by showing the overall divergence strength value along with the number of divergent indicators. Hovering over the label shows a breakdown of each divergent indicator and its individual divergence strength value.
(3) Fully customizable, including inputs for pivot lengths, divergence types, and weights for every component of the divergence strength calculation. This allows you to quickly and easily optimize the output for any chart. Don't worry, the default settings will have you covered if you're not interested in what's going on under the hood.
The Divergence Strength Calculation:
The total divergence strength value is the sum of the divergence strengths of all indicators for which divergence was detected at a given bar. Each indicator's individual divergence strength is comprised of two basic components: (1) |ΔPrice| - the magnitude of the change in price over the divergence period (pivot-to-pivot), and (2) |ΔIndicator| - the magnitude of the change in indicator value over the divergence period.
Because different indicators' scales and volatility can vary greatly, the Δ values are expressed in terms of standard deviation to ensure that the values are meaningful and equitable across all indicators and assets/instruments/currency pairs, etc:
|ΔIndicator| = |indicator_value_1 - indicator_value_2| / 2 * StDev(indicator_series,100)
Calculation Weights:
All components of the calculation are weighted and can be modified on the Inputs page in settings (weights are simply multipliers). For example, if you think hidden divergence should carry less weight than regular divergence, you can assign it a lesser weight. Or if you think RSI divergence is worth more than OBV divergence, you can adjust their weights accordingly. List of weights:
Regular divergence weight - default = 1
Hidden divergence weight - default = 1
ΔPrice weight - default = 0.5 (multiplied by the ΔPrice component)
ΔIndicator weight - default = 1.5 (multiplied by the ΔIndicator component)
RSI weight - default = 1.1
OBV weight - default = 0.8
MACD weight - default = 0.9
STOCH weight - default = 0.9
Development for additional indicators is ongoing, as is research into the optimal weight configuration(s).
Other Inputs:
Pivot lengths - specify the number of bars before and after each pivot high/low to consider it a valid candidate for divergence.
Lookback bars and Lookback pivots - specify the number of bars or the number of pivots to look back across.
Price sources - specify separate price sources for bullish and bearish divergence
Display settings - specify how lines and labels should display, including which divergence strength values should show the largest labels. Include/exclude specific divergence types and indicators.
Please report any bugs, or let me know if you have any enhancement suggestions or requests for additional indicators.

Chop and explode (ps5)Description : This is a renovated version of my previous mod that was based on the original script from fhenry0331.
Added are:
a data cleaning function
a seasonal random index function
an updated scaler and
a signalling procedure.
-
The following description is moved here from the old script.
The purpose of this script is to decipher chop zones from runs/movement/explosion spans. The chop is RSI movement between 40 and 60. Tight chop is RSI movement between 45 and 55. There should be an explosion after RSI breaks through 60 (long) or 40 (short). Tight chop bars are colored gray, a series of gray bars indicates a tight consolidation and should explode imminently. The longer the chop the longer the explosion will go for. The tighter the better. Loose chop (jig saw/gray bars on the silver background) will range between 40 and 60. The move begins with green and red bars.
Couple it with your trading system to help stay out of chop and enter when there is a movement.
Money Supply Index (MSI) by zdmreThe primary objective of the states monetary policy is to maintain price stability with sustainable maximum economic growth. In anticipation of higher inflation , the Central Banks raise short-term interest rate thereby to reduce money supply. Conversely, the Central Banks reduce short-term interest rate to inject additional money into the economy in apprehension of unleashing recessionary forces. The stock markets usually respond negatively to interest rate increases and positively to interest rate decreases. The linkages between money market and stock market a wealth effect due to a change in money supply disturbs the equilibrium in the portfolio of investors.
This index indicates the long-run and short-run dynamic effects of broad money supply (M2) on U.S. stock market (this symbol is optional (Bitcoin, Gold or Oil or other markets etc.)).

LUNC Spot IndexIndex of several (eventually all) luna classic spot markets with some bonus features!
HPI for crypto [ptt]The Herrick Payoff Index is designed to show the amount of money flowing into or out of a futures contract.
This indicator uses open interest (from Binance PERP like this BTCUSDTPERP_OI) from during its calculations, therefore, the pairs being analyzed must contain open interest data on Binance.
The indicator only works with USDT pairs! Like RVNUSDT, BTCUSDT... does not work with USD pairs!
The indicator works in two mode.
Index mode - when the values moving 0-100
In this case, if the value below 10, it shows the money is flowing out of the futures contract and near the local bottom. If the value above 90, it shows the money is flowing into the futures contract and near the local top.
(The two trigger can be modified, the default is low:10 and high:90)
Oscillator mode - when the values moving around the origo (0)
In this case, if the value above 0 (green), it shows the money is flowing into the futures contract, this is bullish
If the value below 0 (red), it shows the money is flowing out of the futures contract, this is bearish
BETABETA (β) value is a risk index, which is used to measure the price fluctuations of individual stocks or mutual funds relative to the entire stock market.
The higher the β value, the greater the volatility of the stock phase on the performance evaluation benchmark, and vice versa.
When β = 1, it means that the income and risks of the stock are consistent with the income and risks of the broader market; when β> 1, it means that the stock income and risk are greater than the income and risk of the broader market index.
Our Beta calculation method is the same as finance.yahoo.com, markets.ft.com, zacks.com and cnbc.com .
Default Beta setting is data over a 5 Years (Monthly) period and base value of 1.0 is S&P 500 Index.
VIX - SKEW DivergenceThe CBOE VIX is a well-known index representing market expectations for volatility over the next 30 days.
The CBOE SKEW is an index reflecting the perceived tail risk over the next 30 days.
When the SKEW rises over a certain level (~140/150), that means investors are hedging their exposure with options, because they are worried about an incoming market crash or a "black swan". If that happens when the VIX is very low and apparently there is no uncertainty, this can warn of a sudden change in direction of the market. You will see for yourself that an increasing divergence often anticipates a sharp fall of leading stock indexes, usually within two to four months.
This is probably not very relevant for the short-term trader but mid/long-term traders and market analysts may find it useful to clearly visualize the extent of the distance between the VIX and the SKEW. For that reason, I wrote this highly customizable script with which you can plot the two indexes and fill the space within them with a color gradient to highlight the maximum and minimum divergence. Additionally, you can fill the beneath VIX area with four different colors. It is also possible to plot the divergence value itself, so if you want you can draw trendlines and support/resistance levels on it.
Please note that the divergence per se doesn't predict anything and it's meant to be used synergistically with other technical analysis tools.
