MPI Burst Regime by CoryP1990 – Quant ToolkitThe Microstructure Pressure Index (MPI) Burst Regime indicator detects rare, clustered volume bursts (Percentile + Z-score), converts them into an MPI (% of bursts over a rolling window), then signals and shades short-term up-pressure regimes only when structural filters (VWMA slope, Close > VWMA / Bollinger Upper) align. Includes Anchored VWAP end-detector to spot regime neutralization.
Microstructure Pressure Index (MPI) — Burst → Cluster → Regime
Why this is different
Most volume tools flag single high-volume bars. MPI requires repeated bursts within a cluster window and then promotes them into a persistent regime (MPI%). This reduces noise and signals regime or campaign-style pressure rather than one-off spikes.
How it works
Burst gate: bar is a candidate if volume ≥ Xth percentile of recent history and/or Z-score ≥ threshold (user selectable).
Clustering: require ≥ minBursts within a clusWin window to avoid lone spikes.
MPI: percent of burst bars within lenMPI via SMA% or EMA%.
RegimeUp: MPI ≥ mpiTrig + cluster OK + structural filters (VWMA slope, Close > VW/BB) + optional session filter.
End detector: optional Session/Anchored VWAP + pin/flat/slope/volume collapse + IIP neutralization triggers regime end.
Recommended settings
Start: 5-minute charts.
Auto-tune: ON (recommended) - script adapts windows to timeframe.
If you want more sensitivity: lower mpiTrig or shorten lenMPI.
To be stricter/rarer: raise pctVol and zThr, increase minBursts.
Inputs
Auto-adapt - toggle timeframe auto-tuning.
MPI window, Percentrank lookback, Volume percentile, Z-score lookback, Z threshold, MPI trigger
Bollinger (len, mult), VWMA length
Structural filters: Close>VW, Close>UB, VWMA slope requirement
Clustering: minBursts, clusWin and SMA% / EMA% choice for MPI
Visualization: markers, shading, cooldown, confirm on close
VWAP: Session / Anchored (auto/manual) and end-detector thresholds
Alerts
Use the built-in alerts: MPI Burst Trigger (Up), MPI Regime Active (Up), MPI Regime END (VWAP), Single Burst Bar. The indicator supports “Confirm on close” gating to avoid intrabar noise.
Example - (BYND, 5min)
On BYND, MPI flagged multiple clustered volume bursts hours before the vertical move and maintained a shaded up-regime as price rode the Bollinger upper band and VWMA sloped up. The regime reliably ended as VWMA flattened, volume collapsed and VWAP neutralized.
What you’re looking at (walkthrough):
Pre-run clustering: several green MPI markers appear before the large gap/rally... these are clustered percentile+Z bursts (not one-offs).
Regime persistence: once MPI% crosses the threshold and structural filters (VWMA slope, Close>VWMA) hold, the indicator shades the regime (lime). This shading persisted through the main thrust.
Price structure confirmation: price tracks the BB upper band during the push - classic accumulation → expansion behavior.
Regime END: after the top, VWMA slopes down, volume collapses and VWAP conditions trend toward neutralization - end detector flags the regime end.
Settings used in this demo (recommended start):
Chart: 5-min (demo)
Auto-Tune: ON (recommended)
lenMPI = 60, lenRank = 300, pctVol = 98, zLen = 300, zThr = 1.96, mpiTrig = 25
minBursts = 3, clusWin = 10, mpiMode = SMA%
confirmOnClose = true, session only = true for the screenshot
Why this matters:
Most volume tools flag single prints. MPI requires repeated bursts within a window and converts that density into an MPI% regime. That reduces false positives and surfaces regime or campaign-style pressure you can act upon or study.

KATIK Anchor Levels1. This Pine Script, "KATIK Anchor Levels", automatically identifies recent swing highs and lows to define an active anchor zone on the chart.
2. It accepts three user inputs: `leftBars` and `rightBars` (pivot sensitivity) and `lookback` (how far to consider anchors).
3. Pivot points are detected with `ta.pivothigh()` and `ta.pivotlow()`, which confirm a pivot after the specified left/right bars.
4. The most recent confirmed pivot values are saved into `lastHigh` and `lastLow` (persisting across bars).
5. The script plots the recent swing high as a red line and the recent swing low as a green line for immediate visual reference.
6. It shades the area between those two lines with a yellow fill to highlight the current **anchor zone**.
7. Logical conditions `insideZone`, `breakAbove`, and `breakBelow` determine whether price is neutral, bullish, or bearish relative to the anchor.
8. Three `alertcondition()` calls let you create alerts for price entering the zone, breaking above, or breaking below the anchor.
9. Best used on intraday (15–60 min) or higher timeframes with `leftBars/rightBars` tuned (smaller values = more pivots, larger = stronger pivots).
10. Limitations: pivots require sufficient bars to confirm (so anchors can lag) and the simple method doesn’t use volume/VWAP—adjust sensitivity or combine with other indicators for higher confidence.
Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel [BOSWaves]Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel - Adaptive Mean Reversion with Dynamic Equilibrium Geometry
Overview
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel introduces an advanced equilibrium-mapping framework that blends statistical mean reversion with adaptive trend geometry. Traditional channels and regression bands react linearly to volatility, often failing to capture the natural rhythm of price equilibrium. This model evolves that concept through a dynamic reversion engine, where equilibrium adapts continuously to volatility, trend slope, and structural bias - forming a living channel that bends, expands, and contracts in real time.
The result is a smooth, equilibrium-driven representation of market balance - not just trend direction. Instead of static bands or abrupt slope shifts, traders see fluid, volatility-aware motion that mirrors the natural pull-and-release dynamic of market behavior. Each channel visualizes the probabilistic boundaries of fair value, showing where price tends to revert and where it accelerates away from its statistical mean.
Unlike conventional envelopes or Bollinger-type constructs, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck framework is volatility-reactive and equilibrium-sensitive, providing traders with a contextual map of where price is likely to stabilize, extend, or exhaust.
Theoretical Foundation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is inspired by stochastic mean-reversion processes - mathematical models used to describe systems that oscillate around a drifting equilibrium. While linear regression channels assume constant variance, financial markets operate under variable volatility and shifting equilibrium points. The OU process accounts for this by treating price as a mean-seeking motion governed by volatility and trend persistence.
At its core are three interacting components:
Equilibrium Mean (μ) : Represents the evolving balance point of price, adjusting to directional bias and volatility.
Reversion Rate (θ) : Defines how strongly price is pulled back toward equilibrium after deviation, capturing the self-correcting nature of market structure.
Volatility Coefficient (σ) : Controls how far and how quickly price can diverge from equilibrium before mean reversion pressure increases.
By embedding this stochastic model inside a volatility-adjusted framework, the system accurately scales across different markets and conditions - maintaining meaningful equilibrium geometry across crypto, forex, indices, or commodities. This design gives traders a mathematically grounded yet visually intuitive interpretation of dynamic balance in live market motion.
How It Works
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is constructed through a structured multi-stage process that merges stochastic logic with volatility mechanics:
Equilibrium Estimation Core : The indicator begins by identifying the evolving mean using adaptive smoothing influenced by trend direction and volatility. This becomes the live centerline - the statistical anchor around which price naturally oscillates.
Volatility Normalization Layer : ATR or rolling deviation is used to calculate volatility intensity. The output scales the channel width dynamically, ensuring that boundaries reflect current variance rather than static thresholds.
Directional Bias Engine : EMA slope and trend confirmation logic determine whether equilibrium should tilt upward or downward. This creates asymmetrical channel motion that bends with the prevailing trend rather than staying horizontal.
Channel Boundary Construction : Upper and lower bands are plotted at volatility-proportional distances from the mean. These envelopes form the “statistical pressure zones” that indicate where mean reversion or acceleration may occur.
Signal and Lifecycle Control : Channel breaches, mean crossovers, and slope flips mark statistically significant events - exhaustion, continuation, or rebalancing. Older equilibrium zones gradually fade, ensuring a clear, context-aware visual field.
Through these layers, the channel forms a continuously updating equilibrium corridor that adapts in real time - breathing with the market’s volatility and rhythm.
Interpretation
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel reframes how traders interpret balance and momentum. Instead of viewing price as directional movement alone, it visualizes the constant tension between trending force and equilibrium pull.
Uptrend Phases : The equilibrium mean tilts upward, with price oscillating around or slightly above the midline. Upper band touches signal momentum extension; lower touches reflect healthy reversion.
Downtrend Phases : The mean slopes downward, with upper-band interactions marking resistance zones and lower bands acting as reversion boundaries.
Equilibrium Transitions : Flat mean sections indicate balance or distribution phases. Breaks from these neutral zones often precede directional expansion.
Overextension Events : When price closes beyond an outer boundary, it marks statistically significant disequilibrium - an early warning of exhaustion or volatility reset.
Visually, the OU channel translates volatility and equilibrium into structured geometry, giving traders a statistical lens on trend quality, reversion probability, and volatility stress points.
Strategy Integration
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel integrates seamlessly into both mean-reversion and trend-continuation systems:
Trend Alignment : Use mean slope direction to confirm higher-timeframe bias before entering continuation setups.
Reversion Entries : Target rejections from outer bands when supported by volume or divergence, capturing snapbacks toward equilibrium.
Volatility Breakout Mapping : Monitor boundary expansions to identify transition from compression to expansion phases.
Liquidity Zone Confirmation : Combine with BOS or order-block indicators to validate structural zones against equilibrium positioning.
Momentum Filtering : Align with oscillators or volume profiles to isolate equilibrium-based pullbacks with statistical context.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Stochastic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for continuous mean recalibration.
Volatility Framework : ATR- and deviation-based scaling for dynamic channel expansion.
Directional Logic : EMA-slope driven bias for adaptive mean tilt.
Channel Composition : Independent upper and lower envelopes with smoothing and transparency control.
Signal Structure : Alerts for mean crossovers and boundary breaches.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, multi-timeframe compatible implementation optimized for real-time responsiveness.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Reactive equilibrium tracking for short-term scalping and microstructure analysis.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range setups for volatility-phase transitions and intraday structure.
4H - Daily : Macro equilibrium mapping for identifying exhaustion, distribution, or reaccumulation zones.
Suggested Configuration:
Mean Length : 20 - 50
Volatility Multiplier : 1.5× - 2.5×
Reversion Sensitivity : 0.4 - 0.8
Smoothing : 2 - 5
Parameter tuning should reflect asset liquidity, volatility, and desired reversion frequency.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending environments with cyclical pullbacks and volatility oscillation.
Markets exhibiting consistent equilibrium-return behavior (indices, majors, high-cap crypto).
Reduced Effectiveness:
Low-volatility consolidations with minimal variance.
Random walk markets lacking definable equilibrium anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with BOSWaves structural tools or momentum oscillators for context validation.
Directional Control : Follow mean slope alignment for directional conviction before acting on channel extremes.
Risk Calibration : Use outer band violations for controlled contrarian entries or trailing stop management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy : Derive macro equilibrium zones on higher timeframes and refine entries on lower levels.
Disclaimer
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Trend Channel is a professional-grade equilibrium and volatility framework. It is not predictive or profit-assured; performance depends on parameter calibration, volatility regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack combining structure, liquidity, and momentum context.
detects bottom rebound signal🧩 General Idea:
This indicator detects bottom rebound signals — the start of an upward move after a downtrend — using a combination of RSI + price + volume.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) using a 14-period length.
→ Purpose: Measure momentum after a decline.
Monitors upward RSI crossovers at levels 45, 50, 55, and 60.
→ Purpose: Confirm that momentum is shifting from bearish to bullish.
Checks for a price increase of more than 2% compared to the previous close.
→ Purpose: Ensure that the move is strong and not just a small fluctuation.
Confirms that today’s volume is higher than yesterday’s.
→ Purpose: Validate that buying pressure is supported by real market activity.
When all conditions are met together ⇒ a rebound signal is generated ✅
(It plots a value of 1 as a histogram — can be used as a filter).

TMB Invest - Smart Money Concept StrategyEnglish:
**Quick Overview**
The "TMB_SMC_Strategy_v1.1.3" combines a classic trend filter using two EMAs with contrarian RSI entries and simple SMC elements (Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks). Stop-loss and take-profit orders are volatility-adaptive and controlled via the ATR. An integrated dashboard displays the setup status, stop-loss/take-profit levels, entry reference, and trend, RSI, and ATR values.
---
## Operating Principle
1. **Trend Filter:** A fast EMA (default 50) is compared to a slow EMA (default 200). Trading occurs only in the direction of the trend: long in uptrends, short in downtrends.
2. **Timing via RSI:** Contrarian entries within the trend. Go long when the RSI is below a buy level (default 40); Short when the RSI is above a sell level (standard 60).
3. **Structure Check (SMC Proxy):** An "FVG Touch" serves as additional confirmation that an inefficient price zone has been tested. Order blocks are visualized for guidance but are not a direct entry trigger.
4. **Risk Management via ATR:** Stop-loss and take-profit levels are set as multipliers of the current ATR (e.g., SL = 1×ATR, TP = 2×ATR). This allows target and risk distances to adjust to market volatility.
5. **Simple Position Logic:** Only one position is held at a time (no pyramiding). After entry, stop and limit orders (bracket exit) are automatically placed.
---
## Input Values
* **EMA Fast / EMA Slow:** Lengths of the moving averages for the trend filter.
* **RSI Length / Levels:** Length of the RSI as well as buy and sell thresholds (contra signals within the trend direction).
* **Take Profit (RR) / Stop Loss (RR):** ATR multipliers for TP and SL.
* **Show FVGs & Order Blocks:** Toggles the visual SMC elements (zones/boxes) on or off.
--
## Signals & Execution
* **Long Setup:** Uptrend (fast EMA above slow EMA) **and** RSI below the buy level **and** a current FVG signal in a bullish direction.
* **Short Setup:** Downtrend (fast EMA below slow EMA) **and** RSI above the sell level **and** a current FVG touch in a bearish direction.
* **Entry & Exit:** If the setup is met, the market is entered; stop-loss/take-profit orders are placed immediately according to ATR multiples.
--
## Visualization
* **EMAs:** The fast and slow EMAs are plotted to illustrate the trend.
* **FVGs:** Fair Value Gaps are drawn as semi-transparent boxes in the trend color and projected slightly into the future.
* **Order Blocks:** Potential order block zones from the previous candle are visually highlighted (for informational purposes only).
---
## Integrated Dashboard
A compact table dashboard (bottom left) displays:
* Current **Setup Status** (Long/Short active, Long/Short ready, No Setup),
* **Stop-Loss**, **Take-Profit**, and **Entry Reference**,
* **Trend Status** (Bull/Bear/Sideways),
* **RSI Value**, and **ATR Value**.
Active long/short positions are highlighted in color (green/red).
--
## Practical Guide
1. **Place on Chart** and select the desired timeframe.
2. **Calibrate Parameters** (EMA lengths, RSI levels, ATR multipliers) to match the market and timeframe.
3. **Backtest** across different market phases; prioritize robustness over maximum curve fit.
4. **Fine-Tuning:**
* Shorter EMAs are often useful intraday (e.g., 20/100 or 34/144).
* Adjust RSI levels to market characteristics (45/55 for aggressive trading, 30/70 for conservative trading).
* Increase or decrease ATR multipliers depending on volatility/trading style.
--
## Notes, Limitations & Extensions
* **FVG Definition:** The FVG detection used here is intentionally simplified. Those who prefer a more rigorous approach can switch to a 3-candle definition and fill levels.
* **Order Blocks:** These primarily serve as a guide. Integration into entry/exit logic (e.g., retests) is possible as an extension.
* **Backtest Realism:** Fills may differ from the displayed closing price. For greater accuracy, intrabar backtests or an entry indicator based on the average position price are conceivable.
* **Alerts:** Currently, no alert conditions are defined; these can be added for long/short setups and status messages.
* **Position Management:** By default, no scaling is performed. Partial sales, trailing stops, or multiple entries can be added.
---
## Purpose & Benefits
The strategy offers a clear, modular framework: trend filter (direction), RSI contra timing (entry), SMC proxy via FVG Touch (structure), and ATR-based exits (risk adaptation). This makes it robust, easy to understand, and highly extensible—both for discretionary traders who appreciate visual SMC elements and for systematic testers who prefer a clean, parameterizable foundation.

Enhanced MA Crossover Pro📝 Strategy Summary: Enhanced MA Crossover Pro
This strategy is an advanced, highly configurable moving average (MA) crossover system designed for algorithmic trading. It uses the crossover of two customizable MAs (a "Fast" MA 1 and a "Slow" MA 2) as its core entry signal, but aggressively integrates multiple technical filters, time controls, and dynamic position management to create a robust and comprehensive trading system.
💡 Core Logic
Entry Signal: A bullish crossover (MA1 > MA2) generates a Long signal, and a bearish crossover (MA1 < MA2) generates a Short signal. Users can opt to use MA crossovers from a Higher Timeframe (HTF) for the entry signal.
Confirmation/Filters: The basic MA cross signal is filtered by several optional indicators (see Filters section below) to ensure trades align with a broader trend or momentum context.
Position Management: Trades are managed with a sophisticated system of Stop Loss, Take Profit, Trailing Stops, and Breakeven stops that can be fixed, ATR-based, or dynamically adjusted.
Risk Management: Daily limits are enforced for maximum profit/loss and maximum trades per day.
⚙️ Key Features and Customization
1. Moving Averages
Primary MAs (MA1 & MA2): Highly configurable lengths (default 8 & 20) and types: EMA, WMA, SMA, or SMMA/RMA.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) MAs: Optional MAs calculated on a user-defined resolution (e.g., "60" for 1-hour) for use as an entry signal or as a trend confirmation filter.
2. Multi-Filter System
The entry signal can be filtered by the following optional conditions:
SMA Filter: Price must be above a 200-period SMA for long trades, and below it for short trades.
VWAP Filter: Price must be above VWAP for long trades, and below it for short trades.
RSI Filter: Long trades are blocked if RSI is overbought (default 70); short trades are blocked if RSI is oversold (default 30).
MACD Filter: Requires the MACD Line to be above the Signal Line for long trades (and vice versa for short trades).
HTF Confirmation: Requires the HTF MA1 to be above HTF MA2 for long entries (and vice versa).
3. Dynamic Stop and Target Management (S/L & T/P)
The strategy provides extensive control over exits:
Stop Loss Methods:
Fixed: Fixed tick amount.
ATR: Based on a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Capped ATR: ATR stop limited by a maximum fixed tick amount.
Exit on Close Cross MA: Position is closed if the price crosses back over the chosen MA (MA1 or MA2).
Breakeven Stop: A stop can be moved to the entry price once a trigger distance (fixed ticks or Adaptive Breakeven based on ATR%) is reached.
Trailing Stop: Can be fixed or ATR-based, with an optional feature to auto-tighten the trailing multiplier after the breakeven condition is met.
Profit Target: Can be a fixed tick amount or a dynamic target based on an ATR multiplier.
4. Time and Session Control
Trading Session: Trades are only taken between defined Start/End Hours and Minutes (e.g., 9:30 to 16:00).
Forced Close: All open positions are closed near the end of the session (e.g., 15:45).
Trading Days: Allows specific days of the week to be enabled or disabled for trading.
5. Risk and Position Limits
Daily Profit/Loss Limits: The strategy tracks daily realized and unrealized PnL in ticks and will close all positions and block new entries if the user-defined maximum profit or maximum loss is hit.
Max Trades Per Day: Limits the number of executed trades in a single day.
🎨 Outputs and Alerts
Plots: Plots the MA1, MA2, SMA, VWAP, and HTF MAs (if enabled) on the chart.
Shapes: Plots visual markers (BUY/SELL labels) on the bar where the MA crossover occurs.
Trailing Stop: Plots the dynamic trailing stop level when a position is open.
Alerts: Generates JSON-formatted alerts for entry ({"action":"buy", "price":...}) and exit ({"action":"exit", "position":"long", "price":...}).
GTI BGTI: RSI Suite (Standard • Stochastic • Smoothed)
A three-layer momentum and trend toolkit that combines Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI, and a Smoothed/“Macro” RSI to help you read intraday swings, trend transitions, and high-probability reversal/continuation spots.
All in one pane with intuitive coloring and optional divergence markers and alerts.
Why this works
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) visualizes fast momentum swings and timing.
* Standard RSI moves more gradually, helping confirm trend transitions that may span several Stochastic cycles.
* Smoothed RSI (Average → Macro) adds a second-pass filter and slope persistence to reveal the macro direction while suppressing noise.
Used together, Stochastic guides entries/exits around local highs/lows, while the RSI layers improve confidence when a small swing is likely part of a larger turn.
What you’ll see
* Standard RSI (yellow; pink above Bull line, aqua below Bear line).
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) with contextual colors:
* Greens when RSI is weak/oversold (bearish conditions → watch for bullish reversals/continuations).
* Reds when RSI is strong/overbought (bullish conditions → watch for bearish reversals/continuations).
* Smoothed (Macro) RSI with trend color:
* Red when macro is ascending (bullish),
* Aqua when macro is descending (bearish).
* Divergences (optional markers):
* Bearish: RSI Lower High + Price Higher High (red ⬇).
* Bullish: RSI Higher Low + Price Lower Low (green ⬆).
* No repaint: pivots confirm after the chosen right-bars window.
How to use it
* Bullish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a higher low after price has been in a overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall downtrend
* Bullish Oversold
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly low level after price has a short but strong dip during an overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall uptrend
* Bullish Continuation
* Macro RSI is ascending with a strong slope or forming a higher low above the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a bottom but still painted red
* Bearish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a lower high after price has been in a overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall uptrend
* Bearish Overbought
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly high level after price has a short but strong jump during an overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall downtrend
* Bearish Continuation
* Macro RSI is descending with a strong slope or forming a lower high below the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a top but still painted green
* Divergences: Use as signals of exhaustion—best when aligned with Macro RSI color/slope and key levels (e.g., Bull/Bear lines, 50 midline).
*** IMPORTANT ***
* Stack confluence, don’t single-signal trade. Look for:
* 1) Macro RSI color & slope (red = ascending/bullish, aqua = descending/bearish)
* 2) Standard RSI location (above/below Bull/Bear lines or 50)
* 3) Stoch flip + direction
* 4) Price structure (HH/HL vs LH/LL)
* 5) Divergence type (regular vs hidden) at meaningful levels
* Trade with the macro
* Prioritize longs when Macro RSI is red or just flipped up
* Prioritize shorts when Macro RSI is aqua or just flipped down
* Counter-trend setups = smaller size and faster management.
* Location > signal
* The same crossover/divergence is higher quality near Bull (~60)/Bear(~40) or extremes than in the mid-range chop around 50.
* Early vs confirmed
* Use the early pivot heads-up for anticipation, but scale in only after the confirmed pivot (right-bars complete). If early signal fails to confirm, stand down.
* Define invalidation upfront
* For divergence entries, place stops beyond the pivot extreme (LL/HH). If Macro RSI flips against your trade or RSI breaks back through 50 with slope, exit or tighten.
* Multi-timeframe alignment
* Best results come when entry timeframe (e.g., 1H) aligns with higher-TF macro (e.g., 4H/D). If they disagree, treat it as mean-reversion only.
* Avoid common traps
* Skip: isolated Stochastic flips without RSI support, divergences without price HH/LL confirmation, and serial divergences when Macro RSI slope is strong against the idea.
* Parameter guidance
* Start with defaults; then tune: confirmBars 3–7, minSlope 0.05–0.15 RSI pts/bar, pivot left/right tighter for faster but noisier signals, wider for cleaner but fewer.
* Alerts = workflow, not auto-trades
* Use Macro Flip + Divergence alerts as a checklist trigger; enter only when your confluence rules are met and risk is defined.
Key inputs (tweak to your market/timeframe)
* RSI / Stochastic lengths and K/D smoothing.
* Bull / Bear Lines (default 61.1 / 43.6).
* Average RSI Method/Length (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA) + Macro Smooth Length.
* Trend confirmation: bars of persistence and minimum slope to reduce flip noise.
* Pivot look-back (left/right) for divergence confirmation strictness.
Alerts included
* Macro Flip Up / Down (Smoothed RSI regime change).
* RSI Bullish/Bearish Divergence (confirmed at pivot).
* Stochastic RSI continuation/divergence (optional).
Tips
* Level + Slope matter. High/low RSI level flags conditions; slope confirms impulse/continuation.
* Let Stochastic time the swing; let Macro RSI filter the trend.
* Tighten or loosen pivot windows to trade fewer/cleaner vs. more/faster signals.
Sinal de Shorts e Longs (OI + OBV + RSI)This indicator combines Open Interest (OI), On-Balance Volume (OBV), and RSI to identify potential short and long pressures in the market.
When OI increases, OBV decreases, and RSI > 40, it signals short entries and possible bearish pressure.
When OI increases, OBV also increases, and RSI < 60, it signals long entries and potential bullish reversals.
Visual signals (S and L) are displayed directly on the chart for quick interpretation.
Useful for tracking futures market sentiment and spotting shifts in trader positioning.

ORIGINAL SOURCE:
This indicator builds upon concepts from LuxAlgo's-ORB
3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions [CHE] 3D Session Clock | Live Time with Sessions — Projects a perspective clock face onto the chart to display current time and market session periods for enhanced situational awareness during trading hours.
Summary
This indicator renders a three-dimensional clock projection directly on the price chart, showing analog hands for hours, minutes, and seconds alongside a digital time readout. It overlays session arcs for major markets like New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney, highlighting the active one with thicker lines and contrasting labels. By centralizing time and session visibility, it reduces the need to reference external clocks, allowing traders to maintain focus on price action while noting overlaps or transitions that influence volatility.
The design uses perspective projection to simulate depth, making the clock appear tilted for better readability on varying chart scales. Sessions are positioned radially outward from the main clock, with the current time marker pulsing on the relevant arc. This setup provides a static yet live-updating view, confirmed on bar close to avoid intrabar shifts.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often miss subtle session shifts amid fast-moving charts, leading to entries during low-liquidity periods or exits before peak activity. Standard chart tools lack integrated time visualization, forcing constant tab-switching. This indicator addresses that by embedding a customizable clock with session rings, ensuring time context is always in view without disrupting workflow.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional session highlighters use simple background fills or vertical lines, which clutter the chart and ignore global time zones.
- Architecture differences:
- Perspective projection rotates and scales points to mimic 3D depth, unlike flat 2D drawings.
- Nested radial arcs for sessions, with dynamic radius assignment to avoid overlap.
- Live time calculation adjusted for user-selected time zones, including optional daylight savings offset.
- Practical effect: The tilted view prevents labels from bunching at chart edges, and active session emphasis draws the eye to liquidity hotspots, making multi-session overlaps immediately apparent for better timing.
How it works (technical)
The indicator calculates current time in the selected time zone by adjusting the system timestamp with a fixed offset, plus an optional one-hour bump for daylight savings. This yields hour, minute, and second values that drive hand positions: the hour hand advances slowly with fractional minute input, the minute hand ticks per 60 seconds, and the second hand sweeps fully each minute.
Points for the clock face and arcs are generated as arrays of coordinates, transformed via rotation around the x-axis to apply tilt, then projected onto chart space using a scaling factor based on depth. Radial lines mark every hour from zero to 23, extending to the outermost session ring. Session arcs span user-defined hour ranges, drawn as open polylines with step interpolation for smoothness.
On the last bar, all prior drawings are cleared, and new elements are added: filled clock circles, hand lines from center to tip, a small orbiting circle at the current time position, and centered labels for hours, sessions, and time. The active session is identified by checking if the current time falls within its range, then its arc thickens and label inverts colors. Initialization populates a timezone array once, with persistent bar time tracking for horizontal positioning.
Parameter Guide
Clock Size — Controls overall radius in pixels, affecting visibility on dense charts — Default: 200 — Larger values suit wide screens but may crowd small views; start smaller for mobile.
Camera Angle — Sets tilt from top-down (zero) to side (90 degrees), altering projection depth — Default: 45 — Steeper angles enhance readability on sloped trends but flatten at extremes.
Resolution — Defines polygon sides for circles and arcs, balancing smoothness and draw calls — Default: 64 — Higher improves curves on large clocks; lower aids performance on slow devices.
Hour/Minute/Second Hand Length — Scales each hand from center, with seconds longest for precision — Defaults: 100/150/180 — Proportional sizing prevents overlap; shorten for compact layouts.
Clock Base Color — Tints face and frame — Default: blue — Neutral shades reduce eye strain; match chart theme.
Hand Colors — Assigns distinct hues to each hand — Defaults: red/green/yellow — High contrast aids quick scans; avoid chart-matching to stand out.
Hour Label Size — Text scale for 1-12 markers — Default: normal — Larger for distant views, but risks clutter.
Digital Time Size — Scale for HH:MM:SS readout — Default: large — Matches clock for balance; tiny for minimalism.
Digital Time Vertical Offset — Shifts readout up (negative) or down — Default: -50 — Positions above clock to avoid hand interference.
Timezone — Selects reference city/offset — Default: New York (UTC-05) — Matches trading locale; verify offsets manually.
Summer Time (DST) — Adds one hour if active — Default: false — Enable for regions observing it; test transitions.
Show/Label/Session/Color for Each Market — Toggles arc, sets name, time window, and hue per session (New York/London/Tokyo/Sydney) — Defaults: true/"New York"/1300-2200/orange, etc. — Customize windows to local exchange hours; colors differentiate overlaps.
Reading & Interpretation
The analog face shows a blue-tinted circle with white 1-12 labels and gray hour ticks; hands extend from center in assigned colors, pointing to current positions. A white dot with orbiting ring marks exact time on the session arc. Digital readout below displays padded HH:MM:SS in white on black.
Active sessions glow with bold arcs and white labels on colored backgrounds; inactive ones use thin lines and colored text on light fills. Overlaps stack outward, with the innermost (New York) closest to the clock. If no session is active, the marker sits on the base ring.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter longs during London-New York overlap (thicker dual arcs) confirmed by higher highs; filter with volume spikes.
- Exits/Stops: Tighten stops pre-Tokyo open if arc thickens, signaling volatility ramp; trail during Sydney for overnight holds.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex/stocks; on higher timeframes, enlarge clock size to counter bar spacing. Pair with session volume oscillators for confirmation.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Rendering occurs only on the last bar, using confirmed history for stable display; live bars update hands and marker without repainting prior elements. No security calls or higher timeframe fetches, so no lookahead bias.
Resource limits include 2000 bars back for positioning, 500 each for lines, labels, and boxes—sufficient for full sessions without overflow. Arrays hold timezone data statically. On very wide charts, projection may skew slightly due to fixed scale.
Known limits: Visual positioning drifts on extreme zooms; daylight savings assumes manual toggle, risking one-hour errors during changes.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with New York timezone, 45-degree tilt, and all sessions enabled—these balance global coverage without clutter. For too-small visibility, bump clock size to 300 and resolution to 48. If labels overlap on narrow views, reduce hand lengths proportionally. To emphasize one session (e.g., London), disable others and widen its color contrast. For minimalism, set digital size to small and offset to -100.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visual time and session overlay to contextualize trading windows, not a signal generator or predictive tool. It complements price analysis and risk rules but requires manual interpretation. Use alongside order flow or momentum indicators for decisions.

cd_correlation_analys_Cxcd_correlation_analys_Cx
General:
This indicator is designed for correlation analysis by classifying stocks (487 in total) and indices (14 in total) traded on Borsa İstanbul (BIST) on a sectoral basis.
Tradingview's sector classifications (20) have been strictly adhered to for sector grouping.
Depending on user preference, the analysis can be performed within sectors, between sectors, or manually (single asset).
Let me express my gratitude to the code author, @fikira, beforehand; you will find the reason for my thanks in the context.
Details:
First, let's briefly mention how this indicator could have been prepared using the classic method before going into details.
Classically, assets could be divided into groups of forty (40), and the analysis could be performed using the built-in function:
ta.correlation(source1, source2, length) → series float.
I chose sectoral classification because I believe there would be a higher probability of assets moving together, rather than using fixed-number classes.
In this case, 21 arrays were formed with the following number of elements:
(3, 11, 21, 60, 29, 20, 12, 3, 31, 5, 10, 11, 6, 48, 73, 62, 16, 19, 13, 34 and indices (14)).
However, you might have noticed that some arrays have more than 40 elements. This is exactly where @Fikira's indicator came to the rescue. When I examined their excellent indicator, I saw that it could process 120 assets in a single operation. (I believe this was the first limit overrun; thanks again.)
It was amazing to see that data for 3 pairs could be called in a single request using a special method.
You can find the details here:
When I adapted it for BIST, I found it sufficient to call data for 2 pairs instead of 3 in a single go. Since asset prices are regular and have 2 decimal places, I used a fixed multiplier of $10^8$ and a fixed decimal count of 2 in Fikira's formulas.
With this method, the (high, low, open, close) values became accessible for each asset.
The summary up to this point is that instead of the ready-made formula + groups of 40, I used variable-sized groups and the method I will detail now.
Correlation/harmony/co-movement between assets provides advantages to market participants. Coherent assets are expected to rise or fall simultaneously.
Therefore, to convert co-movement into a mathematical value, I defined the possible movements of the current candle relative to the previous candle bar over a certain period (user-defined). These are:
Up := high > high and low > low
Down := high < high and low < low
Inside := high <= high and low >= low
Outside := high >= high and low <= low and NOT Inside.
Ignore := high = low = open = close
If both assets performed the same movement, 1 was added to the tracking counter.
If (Up-Up), (Down-Down), (Inside-Inside), or (Outside-Outside), then counter := counter + 1.
If the period length is 100 and the counter is 75, it means there is 75% co-movement.
Corr = counter / period ($75/100$)
Average = ta.sma(Corr, 100) is obtained.
The highest coefficients recorded in the array are presented to the user in a table.
From the user menu options, the user can choose to compare:
• With assets in its own sector
• With assets in the selected sector
• By activating the confirmation box and manually entering a single asset for comparison.
Table display options can be adjusted from the Settings tab.
In the attached examples:
Results for AKBNK stock from the Finance sector compared with GARAN stock from the same sector:
Timeframe: Daily, Period: 50 => Harmony 76% (They performed the same movement in 38 out of 50 bars)
Comment: Opposite movements at swing high and low levels may indicate a change in the direction of the price flow (SMT).
Looking at ASELS from the Electronic Technology sector over the last 30 daily candles, they performed the same movements by 40% with XU100, 73.3% (22/30) with XUTEK (Technology Index), and 86.9% according to the averages.
Comment: It is more appropriate to follow ASELS stock with XUTEK (Technology index) instead of the general index (XU100). Opposite movements at swing high and low levels may indicate a change in the direction of the price flow (SMT).
Again, when ASELS stock is taken on H1 instead of daily, and the length is 100 instead of 30, the harmony rate is seen to be 87%.
Please share your thoughts and criticisms regarding the indicator, which I prepared with a bit of an educational purpose specifically for BIST.
Happy trading.
Ultra-Fast Scalp Predictor 2This is a Pine Script (version 5) indicator engineered for ultra-low latency scalping, optimized specifically for very short timeframes (1-second to 1-minute charts) to predict price direction over the next 30-60 seconds.
It operates as a single, composite directional score by combining six highly sensitive, fast-moving analytical components.
Core Prediction Methodology:
The indicator calculates a single predictionScore which is a sum of six weighted factors, designed to capture immediate changes in market momentum, volatility, and order flow pressure.
The Prediction Score determines the signal:
predictUp: predictionScore is greater than the Bull Threshold ($\text{Sensitivity} \times 10$).
predictDown: predictionScore is less than the Bear Threshold ($\text{Sensitivity} \times -10$).
confidence: Calculated as the normalized absolute magnitude of the predictionScore relative to a theoretical maximum (math.abs(predictionScore) / 50 \times 100).
⚡ Zero-Lag 60s Binary Predictor🧠 Core Anti-Lag Philosophy
The indicator's primary goal is to overcome the inherent lag of traditional indicators like the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or standard Relative Strength Index (RSI). It achieves this by focusing on:
Leading Indicators: Using derivatives of price/momentum (like acceleration and jerk—the second and third derivatives of price) to predict turns before the price action is clear.
Instantaneous Metrics: Using short lookback periods (e.g., ta.change(close, 1) or fastLength = 5) and heavily weighting the most recent data (e.g., in instMomentum).
Market Microstructure: Incorporating metrics like Tick Pressure and Order Flow Imbalance (OFI), which attempt to measure internal bar dynamics and buying/selling aggression.
Zero-Lag Techniques: Specifically, the Ehlers Zero Lag EMA, which is mathematically constructed to eliminate phase lag by predicting where the price will be rather than where it was.
SB LONG ENTRY/EXITBASED on HULL slope average. ISN'T IT VERY ROBUST?
Very good for daily, weekly and monthly timeframes. Stocks especially.....
I prefer it without optonal stop loss on other position protection stops.
Wonderful both equal weight position or with a D'alembert style weighting of positions....
Hold the Hull period parameter between 30 and 60 or more, but it's not so sensitive to this optimization.
All the best,

Ehlers Ultrasmooth Filter (USF)# USF: Ultrasmooth Filter
## Overview and Purpose
The Ultrasmooth Filter (USF) is an advanced signal processing tool that represents the pinnacle of noise reduction technology for financial time series. Developed by John Ehlers, this filter implements a complex algorithm that provides exceptional smoothing capabilities while minimizing the lag typically associated with heavy filtering. USF builds upon the Super Smooth Filter (SSF) with enhanced noise suppression characteristics, making it particularly valuable for identifying clear trends in extremely noisy market conditions where even traditional smoothing techniques struggle to produce clean signals.
## Core Concepts
* **Maximum noise suppression:** Provides the highest level of noise reduction among Ehlers' filter designs
* **Optimized coefficient structure:** Uses carefully designed mathematical relationships to achieve superior filtering performance
* **Market application:** Particularly effective for long-term trend identification and minimizing false signals in highly volatile market conditions
The core innovation of USF is its second-order filter structure with optimized coefficients that create an exceptionally smooth frequency response. By careful mathematical design, USF achieves near-optimal noise suppression characteristics while minimizing the lag and waveform distortion that typically accompany such heavy filtering. This makes it especially valuable for identifying major market trends amid significant short-term volatility.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Length | 20 | Controls the cutoff period | Increase for smoother signals, decrease for more responsiveness |
| Source | close | Price data used for calculation | Consider using hlc3 for a more balanced price representation |
**Pro Tip:** USF is ideal for defining major market trends - try using it with a length of 40-60 on daily charts to identify dominant market direction and ignoring shorter-term noise completely.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultrasmooth Filter creates an extremely clean price representation by combining current and past price data with previous filter outputs using precisely calculated mathematical relationships. This creates a highly effective "averaging" process that removes virtually all market noise while still maintaining the essential trend information.
**Technical formula:**
USF = (1-c1)X + (2c1-c2)X₁ - (c1+c3)X₂ + c2×USF₁ + c3×USF₂
Where coefficients are calculated as:
- a1 = exp(-1.414π/length)
- b1 = 2a1 × cos(1.414 × 180/length)
- c1 = (1 + c2 - c3)/4
- c2 = b1
- c3 = -a1²
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The filter combines both feed-forward (X terms) and feedback (USF terms) components in a second-order structure, creating a response with exceptional roll-off characteristics and minimal passband ripple.
## Interpretation Details
The Ultrasmooth Filter can be used in various trading strategies:
* **Major trend identification:** The direction of USF indicates the dominant market trend with minimal noise interference
* **Signal generation:** Crossovers between price and USF generate high-reliability trade signals with minimal false positives
* **Support/resistance levels:** USF can act as strong dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends
* **Market regime identification:** The slope of USF helps identify whether markets are in trending or consolidation phases
* **Multiple timeframe analysis:** Using USF across different chart timeframes creates a cohesive picture of nested trend structures
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Significant lag:** The extreme smoothing comes with increased lag compared to lighter filters
* **Initialization period:** Requires more bars than simpler filters to stabilize at the start of data
* **Less suitable for short-term trading:** Generally too slow-responding for short-term strategies
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance depends on appropriate length selection for the timeframe
* **Complementary tools:** Best used alongside faster-responding indicators for timing signals

Ehlers Phasor Analysis (PHASOR)# PHASOR: Phasor Analysis (Ehlers)
## Overview and Purpose
The Phasor Analysis indicator, developed by John Ehlers, represents an advanced cycle analysis tool that identifies the phase of the dominant cycle component in a time series through complex signal processing techniques. This sophisticated indicator uses correlation-based methods to determine the real and imaginary components of the signal, converting them to a continuous phase angle that reveals market cycle progression. Unlike traditional oscillators, the Phasor provides unwrapped phase measurements that accumulate continuously, offering unique insights into market timing and cycle behavior.
## Core Concepts
* **Complex Signal Analysis** — Uses real and imaginary components to determine cycle phase
* **Correlation-Based Detection** — Employs Ehlers' correlation method for robust phase estimation
* **Unwrapped Phase Tracking** — Provides continuous phase accumulation without discontinuities
* **Anti-Regression Logic** — Prevents phase angle from moving backward under specific conditions
Market Applications:
* **Cycle Timing** — Precise identification of cycle peaks and troughs
* **Market Regime Analysis** — Distinguishes between trending and cycling market conditions
* **Turning Point Detection** — Advanced warning system for potential market reversals
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|----------------|
| Period | 28 | Fixed cycle period for correlation analysis | Match to expected dominant cycle length |
| Source | Close | Price series for phase calculation | Use typical price or other smoothed series |
| Show Derived Period | false | Display calculated period from phase rate | Enable for adaptive period analysis |
| Show Trend State | false | Display trend/cycle state variable | Enable for regime identification |
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Technical Formula:**
**Stage 1: Correlation Analysis**
For period $n$ and source $x_t$:
Real component correlation with cosine wave:
$$R = \frac{n \sum x_t \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right) - \sum x_t \sum \cos\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)}{\sqrt{D_{cos}}}$$
Imaginary component correlation with negative sine wave:
$$I = \frac{n \sum x_t \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right) - \sum x_t \sum \left(-\sin\left(\frac{2\pi t}{n}\right)\right)}{\sqrt{D_{sin}}}$$
where $D_{cos}$ and $D_{sin}$ are normalization denominators.
**Stage 2: Phase Angle Conversion**
$$\theta_{raw} = \begin{cases}
90° - \arctan\left(\frac{I}{R}\right) \cdot \frac{180°}{\pi} & \text{if } R \neq 0 \\
0° & \text{if } R = 0, I > 0 \\
180° & \text{if } R = 0, I \leq 0
\end{cases}$$
**Stage 3: Phase Unwrapping**
$$\theta_{unwrapped}(t) = \theta_{unwrapped}(t-1) + \Delta\theta$$
where $\Delta\theta$ is the normalized phase difference.
**Stage 4: Ehlers' Anti-Regression Condition**
$$\theta_{final}(t) = \begin{cases}
\theta_{final}(t-1) & \text{if regression conditions met} \\
\theta_{unwrapped}(t) & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}$$
**Derived Calculations:**
Derived Period: $P_{derived} = \frac{360°}{\Delta\theta_{final}}$ (clamped to )
Trend State:
$$S_{trend} = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| \geq 90° \\
-1 & \text{if } \Delta\theta \leq 6° \text{ and } |\theta| < 90° \\
0 & \text{if } \Delta\theta > 6°
\end{cases}$$
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The correlation-based approach provides robust phase estimation even in noisy market conditions, while the unwrapping mechanism ensures continuous phase tracking across cycle boundaries.
## Interpretation Details
* **Phasor Angle (Primary Output):**
- **+90°**: Potential cycle peak region
- **0°**: Mid-cycle ascending phase
- **-90°**: Potential cycle trough region
- **±180°**: Mid-cycle descending phase
* **Phase Progression:**
- Continuous upward movement → Normal cycle progression
- Phase stalling → Potential cycle extension or trend development
- Rapid phase changes → Cycle compression or volatility spike
* **Derived Period Analysis:**
- Period < 10 → High-frequency cycle dominance
- Period 15-40 → Typical swing trading cycles
- Period > 50 → Trending market conditions
* **Trend State Variable:**
- **+1**: Long trend conditions (slow phase change in extreme zones)
- **-1**: Short trend or consolidation (slow phase change in neutral zones)
- **0**: Active cycling (normal phase change rate)
## Applications
* **Cycle-Based Trading:**
- Enter long positions near -90° crossings (cycle troughs)
- Enter short positions near +90° crossings (cycle peaks)
- Exit positions during mid-cycle phases (0°, ±180°)
* **Market Timing:**
- Use phase acceleration for early trend detection
- Monitor derived period for cycle length changes
- Combine with trend state for regime-appropriate strategies
* **Risk Management:**
- Adjust position sizes based on cycle clarity (derived period stability)
- Implement different risk parameters for trending vs. cycling regimes
- Use phase velocity for stop-loss placement timing
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Parameter Sensitivity:**
- Fixed period assumption may not match actual market cycles
- Requires cycle period optimization for different markets and timeframes
- Performance degrades when multiple cycles interfere
* **Computational Complexity:**
- Correlation calculations over full period windows
- Multiple mathematical transformations increase processing requirements
- Real-time implementation requires efficient algorithms
* **Market Conditions:**
- Most effective in markets with clear cyclical behavior
- May provide false signals during strong trending periods
- Requires sufficient historical data for correlation analysis
Complementary Indicators:
* MESA Adaptive Moving Average (cycle-based smoothing)

Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP)# EACP: Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram
## Overview and Purpose
Developed by John F. Ehlers (Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, Sep 2016), the Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram (EACP) estimates the dominant market cycle by projecting normalized autocorrelation coefficients onto Fourier basis functions. The indicator blends a roofing filter (high-pass + Super Smoother) with a compact periodogram, yielding low-latency dominant cycle detection suitable for adaptive trading systems. Compared with Hilbert-based methods, the autocorrelation approach resists aliasing and maintains stability in noisy price data.
EACP answers a central question in cycle analysis: “What period currently dominates the market?” It prioritizes spectral power concentration, enabling downstream tools (adaptive moving averages, oscillators) to adjust responsively without the lag present in sliding-window techniques.
## Core Concepts
* **Roofing Filter:** High-pass plus Super Smoother combination removes low-frequency drift while limiting aliasing.
* **Pearson Autocorrelation:** Computes normalized lag correlation to remove amplitude bias.
* **Fourier Projection:** Sums cosine and sine terms of autocorrelation to approximate spectral energy.
* **Gain Normalization:** Automatic gain control prevents stale peaks from dominating power estimates.
* **Warmup Compensation:** Exponential correction guarantees valid output from the very first bar.
## Implementation Notes
**This is not a strict implementation of the TASC September 2016 specification.** It is a more advanced evolution combining the core 2016 concept with techniques Ehlers introduced later. The fundamental Wiener-Khinchin theorem (power spectral density = Fourier transform of autocorrelation) is correctly implemented, but key implementation details differ:
### Differences from Original 2016 TASC Article
1. **Dominant Cycle Calculation:**
- **2016 TASC:** Uses peak-finding to identify the period with maximum power
- **This Implementation:** Uses Center of Gravity (COG) weighted average over bins where power ≥ 0.5
- **Rationale:** COG provides smoother transitions and reduces susceptibility to noise spikes
2. **Roofing Filter:**
- **2016 TASC:** Simple first-order high-pass filter
- **This Implementation:** Canonical 2-pole high-pass with √2 factor followed by Super Smoother bandpass
- **Formula:** `hp := (1-α/2)²·(p-2p +p ) + 2(1-α)·hp - (1-α)²·hp `
- **Rationale:** Evolved filtering provides better attenuation and phase characteristics
3. **Normalized Power Reporting:**
- **2016 TASC:** Reports peak power across all periods
- **This Implementation:** Reports power specifically at the dominant period
- **Rationale:** Provides more meaningful correlation between dominant cycle strength and normalized power
4. **Automatic Gain Control (AGC):**
- Uses decay factor `K = 10^(-0.15/diff)` where `diff = maxPeriod - minPeriod`
- Ensures K < 1 for proper exponential decay of historical peaks
- Prevents stale peaks from dominating current power estimates
### Performance Characteristics
- **Complexity:** O(N²) where N = (maxPeriod - minPeriod)
- **Implementation:** Uses `var` arrays with native PineScript historical operator ` `
- **Warmup:** Exponential compensation (§2 pattern) ensures valid output from bar 1
### Related Implementations
This refined approach aligns with:
- TradingView TASC 2025.02 implementation by blackcat1402
- Modern Ehlers cycle analysis techniques post-2016
- Evolved filtering methods from *Cycle Analytics for Traders*
The code is mathematically sound and production-ready, representing a refined version of the autocorrelation periodogram concept rather than a literal translation of the 2016 article.
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Min Period | 8 | Lower bound of candidate cycles | Increase to ignore microstructure noise; decrease for scalping. |
| Max Period | 48 | Upper bound of candidate cycles | Increase for swing analysis; decrease for intraday focus. |
| Autocorrelation Length | 3 | Averaging window for Pearson correlation | Set to 0 to match lag, or enlarge for smoother spectra. |
| Enhance Resolution | true | Cubic emphasis to highlight peaks | Disable when a flatter spectrum is desired for diagnostics. |
**Pro Tip:** Keep `(maxPeriod - minPeriod)` ≤ 64 to control $O(n^2)$ inner loops and maintain responsiveness on lower timeframes.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Explanation:**
1. Apply roofing filter to `source` using coefficients $\alpha_1$, $a_1$, $b_1$, $c_1$, $c_2$, $c_3$.
2. For each lag $L$ compute Pearson correlation $r_L$ over window $M$ (default $L$).
3. For each period $p$, project onto Fourier basis:
$C_p=\sum_{n=2}^{N} r_n \cos\left(\frac{2\pi n}{p}\right)$ and $S_p=\sum_{n=2}^{N} r_n \sin\left(\frac{2\pi n}{p}\right)$.
4. Power $P_p=C_p^2+S_p^2$, smoothed then normalized via adaptive peak tracking.
5. Dominant cycle $D=\frac{\sum p\,\tilde P_p}{\sum \tilde P_p}$ over bins where $\tilde P_p≥0.5$, warmup-compensated.
**Technical formula:**
```
Step 1: hp_t = ((1-α₁)/2)(src_t - src_{t-1}) + α₁ hp_{t-1}
Step 2: filt_t = c₁(hp_t + hp_{t-1})/2 + c₂ filt_{t-1} + c₃ filt_{t-2}
Step 3: r_L = (M Σxy - Σx Σy) / √
Step 4: P_p = (Σ_{n=2}^{N} r_n cos(2πn/p))² + (Σ_{n=2}^{N} r_n sin(2πn/p))²
Step 5: D = Σ_{p∈Ω} p · ĤP_p / Σ_{p∈Ω} ĤP_p with warmup compensation
```
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** Warmup uses $c = 1 / (1 - (1 - \alpha)^{k})$ to scale early-cycle estimates, preventing low values during initial bars.
## Interpretation Details
- **Primary Dominant Cycle:**
- High $D$ (e.g., > 30) implies slow regime; adaptive MAs should lengthen.
- Low $D$ (e.g., < 15) signals rapid oscillations; shorten lookback windows.
- **Normalized Power:**
- Values > 0.8 indicate strong cycle confidence; consider cyclical strategies.
- Values < 0.3 warn of flat spectra; favor trend or volatility approaches.
- **Regime Shifts:**
- Rapid drop in $D$ alongside rising power often precedes volatility expansion.
- Divergence between $D$ and price swings may highlight upcoming breakouts.
## Limitations and Considerations
- **Spectral Leakage:** Limited lag range can smear peaks during abrupt volatility shifts.
- **O(n²) Segment:** Although constrained (≤ 60 loops), wide period spans increase computation.
- **Stationarity Assumption:** Autocorrelation presumes quasi-stationary cycles; regime changes reduce accuracy.
- **Latency in Noise:** Even with roofing, extremely noisy assets may require higher `avgLength`.
- **Downtrend Bias:** Negative trends may clip high-pass output; ensure preprocessing retains signal.

Choppiness Index | CipherDecodedThe Choppiness Index is a multi-timeframe regime indicator that measures whether price action is trending or consolidating.
This recreation was inspired by the Choppiness Index chart from Checkonchain, with full credit to their team for the idea.
🔹 How It Works
CI = 100 * log10( SUM(ATR(1), n) / (highest(high, n) – lowest(low, n)) ) / log10(n)
Where:
n – lookback length (e.g. 14 days / 10 weeks / 10 months)
ATR(1) – true-range of each bar
SUM(ATR(1), n) – total true-range over n bars
highest(high, n) and lowest(low, n) – price range over n bars
Low values → strong trend
High values → sideways consolidation
Below is a simplified function used in the script for computing CI on any timeframe:
f_ci(_n) =>
_tr = ta.tr(true)
_sum = math.sum(_tr, _n)
_hh = ta.highest(high, _n)
_ll = ta.lowest(low, _n)
_rng = _hh - _ll
_rng > 0 ? 100 * math.log10(_sum / _rng) / math.log10(_n) : na
Consolidation Threshold — 50.0
Trend Threshold — 38.2
When Weekly CI < Trend Threshold, a trending zone (yellow) appears.
When Weekly CI > Consolidation Threshold, a consolidation zone (purple) appears.
Users can toggle either background independently.
🔹 Example Background Logic
bgcolor(isTrend and Trend ? color.new(#f3e459, 50) : na, title = "Trending", force_overlay = true)
bgcolor(isConsol and Cons ? color.new(#974aa5, 50) : na, title = "Consolidation", force_overlay = true)
🔹 Usage Tips
Observe the Weekly CI for regime context.
Combine with price structure or trend filters for signal confirmation.
Low CI values (< 38) indicate strong trend activity — the market may soon consolidate to reset.
High CI values (> 60) reflect sideways or range-bound conditions — the market is recharging before a potential new trend.

RSI Divergence Strategy v6 What this does
Detects regular and hidden divergences between price and RSI using confirmed RSI pivots. Adds RSI@pivot entry gates, a normalized strength + volume filter, optional volume gate, delayed entries, and transparent risk management with rigid SL and activatable trailing. Visuals are throttled for clarity and include a gap-free horizontal RSI gradient.
How it works (simple)
🧮 RSI is calculated on your selected source/period.
📌 RSI pivots are confirmed with left/right lookbacks (lbL/lbR). A pivot becomes final only after lbR bars; before that, it can move (expected).
🔎 The latest confirmed pivot is compared against the previous confirmed pivot within your bar window:
• Regular Bullish = price lower low + RSI higher low
• Hidden Bullish = price higher low + RSI lower low
• Regular Bearish = price higher high + RSI lower high
• Hidden Bearish = price lower high + RSI higher high
💪 Each divergence gets a strength score that multiplies price % change, RSI change, and a volume ratio (Volume SMA / Baseline Volume SMA).
• Set Min divergence strength to filter tiny/noisy signals.
• Turn on the volume gate to require volume ratio ≥ your threshold (e.g., 1.0).
🎯 RSI@pivot gating:
• Longs only if RSI at the bullish pivot ≤ 30 (default).
• Shorts only if RSI at the bearish pivot ≥ 70 (default).
⏱ Entry timing:
• Immediate: on divergence confirm (delay = 0).
• Delayed: after N bars if RSI is still valid.
• RSI-only mode: ignore divergences; use RSI thresholds only.
🛡 Risk:
• Rigid SL is placed from average entry.
• Trailing activates only after unrealized gain ≥ threshold; it re-anchors on new highs (long) or new lows (short).
What’s NEW here (vs. the reference) — and why you may care
• Improved pivots + bar window → fewer early/misaligned signals; cleaner drawings.
• RSI@pivot gates → entries aligned with true oversold/overbought at the exact decision bar.
• Normalized strength + volume gate → ignore weak or low-volume divergences.
• Delayed entries → require the signal to persist N bars if you want more confirmation.
• Rigid SL + activatable trailing → trailing engages only after a cushion, so it’s less noisy.
• Clutter control + gradient → readable chart with a smooth RSI band look.
Suggested starting values (clear ranges)
• RSI@pivot thresholds: LONG ≤ 30 (oversold), SHORT ≥ 70 (overbought).
• Min divergence strength:
0.0 = off
3–6 = moderate filter
7–12 = strict filter for noisy LTFs
• Volume gate (ratio):
1.0 = at least baseline volume
1.2–1.5 = strong-volume only (fewer but cleaner signals)
• Pivot lookbacks:
lbL 1–2, lbR 3–4 (raise lbR to confirm later and reduce noise)
• Bar window (between pivots):
Min 5–10, Max 30–60 (increase Min if you see micro-pivots; increase Max for wider structures)
• Risk:
Rigid SL 2–5% on liquid majors; 5–10% on higher-volatility symbols
Trailing activation 1–3%, trailing 0.5–1.5% are common intraday starts
Plain-text examples
• BTCUSDT 1h → RSI 9, lbL 1, lbR 3, Min strength 5.0, Volume gate 1.0, SL 4.5%, Trail on 2.0%, Trail 1.0%.
• SPY 15m → RSI 8, lbL 1, lbR 3, Min strength 7.0, Volume gate 1.2, SL 3.0%, Trail on 1.5%, Trail 0.8%.
• EURUSD 4h → RSI 14, lbL 2, lbR 4, Min strength 4.0, Volume gate 1.0, SL 2.5%, Trail on 1.0%, Trail 0.5%.
Notes & limitations
• Pivot confirmation means the newest candidate pivot can move until lbR confirms it (expected).
• Results vary by timeframe/symbol/settings; always forward-test.
• Educational tool — no performance or profit claims.
