[blackcat] L1 Extreme Shadows█ OVERVIEW
The Pine Script provided is an indicator designed to detect market volatility and extreme shadow conditions. It calculates various conditions based on simple moving averages (SMAs) and plots the results to help traders identify potential market extremes. The primary function of the script is to provide visual cues for extreme market conditions without generating explicit trading signals.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Structure:
1 — Input Parameters:
• No user-defined input parameters are present in this script.
2 — Calculations:
• Calculate Extreme Shadow: Checks if the differences between certain SMAs and prices exceed predefined thresholds.
• Calculate Buy Extreme Shadow: Extends the logic by incorporating additional SMAs to identify stronger buy signals.
• Calculate Massive Bullish Sell: Detects massive bullish sell conditions using longer-term SMAs.
3 — Plotting:
• The script plots the calculated conditions using distinct colors to differentiate between various types of extreme shadows.
Data Flow:
• The close price is passed through each custom function.
• Each function computes its respective conditions based on specified SMAs and thresholds.
• The computed values are then summed and returned.
• Finally, the aggregated values are plotted on the chart using the plot function.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
1 — calculate_extreme_shadow(close)
• Purpose: Identify extreme shadow conditions based on 8-period and 14-period SMAs.
• Functionality: Computes the difference between the 8-period SMA and the close price, and the difference between the 14-period SMA and the 4-period SMA, relative to the 6-period SMA. Returns 2 if both conditions exceed 0.04; otherwise, returns 0.
• Parameters: close (price series)
• Return Value: Integer (0 or 2)
2 — calculate_buy_extreme_shadow(close)
• Purpose: Identify more robust buy signals by evaluating multiple SMAs.
• Functionality: Considers the 8-period SMA along with additional SMAs (21, 42, 63, 84, 105) and combines multiple conditions to provide a comprehensive buy signal.
• Parameters: close (price series)
• Return Value: Integer (sum of conditions, ranging from 0 to 14)
3 — calculate_massive_bullish_sell(close)
• Purpose: Detect massive bullish sell conditions using longer-term SMAs.
• Functionality: Evaluates conditions based on the 8-period SMA and longer-term SMAs (88, 44, 22, 11, 5), returning a sum of conditions meeting specified thresholds.
• Parameters: close (price series)
• Return Value: Integer (sum of conditions, ranging from 0 to 10)
█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES

MA FilterMA Filter is a volatility indicator inspired by the Braid Filter and WAE indicators.
Calculation:
Is absolute value of > m*ATR(n2) ?
where...
n - sma length
m - atr multiplier
n2 - atr length
If yes, high volatility, histogram is orange, trading is allowed.
If no, low volatility, histogram is grey, trading is not allowed.
Enjoy ;)
ATR% The average true range / close price of previous barThe ATR% is an indicator to measure the increased volatility comparing with the past period.
1. Default is 14 bars, but we can switch to 21 or 7.
2. For the smoothing method, by default using simple moving average, but EMA, WMA and RMA is an option.
3. if over 1.5%, we consider the volatility increased significantly.
4. Combine ATR%, Stock screening (notional and volatility ) with 1-3 min chart, it's very easy to catch the sudden price movement for Japan Equities. hope you find it useful.
Variation OscillatorThe Variation Oscillator is a volatility-type indicator.
This indicator is based on a statistical measure known as coefficient of variation (COV).
COV is a standardized measure of dispersion for a set of values.
COV = 100 * standard deviation / mean
This oscillator measures the difference between COV and its sma and plots this difference.
Formula: Oscillator value = COV - sma of COV
The oscillator is positive when COV is greater than its sma.
The oscillator is negative when COV is lesser than its sma.
How to interpret the indicator's values:
Positive : the current volatility is higher than normal and trading is permitted.
Negative : the current volatility is lower than normal and trading is NOT permitted.
Recommended settings:
Cov = 10
Sma = between 20 and 100

Short-term bubble indicator Script measures the average daily change in price over the previous 90 days and compares it to the average daily change over a longer time period. Assesses if recent volatility is more / less than historical volatility to indicate if the ticker is overbought / oversold.
Alpha Dynamic Momentum Index Pine@v=4- What Is Dynamic Momentum Index?
- The dynamic momentum index is a technical indicator used to determine if an asset is overbought or oversold. It can be used to generate trade signals in trending and ranging markets.
- The dynamic momentum index was developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll and is similar to the relative strength index (RSI). The main difference between the two is that the RSI uses a fixed number of time periods (usually 14) in its calculation, while the dynamic momentum index uses different time periods as volatility changes, typically between five and 30.
- The number of time periods used in the dynamic momentum index decreases as volatility in the underlying security increases, making this indicator more responsive to changing prices than the RSI. This is particularly useful when an asset's price moves quickly as it approaches key support or resistance levels. Because the indicator is more sensitive, traders can potentially find earlier entry and exit points than with the RSI, but it could also be more prone to whipsaws and false signals.
Average True Range NormalizedThis is a modified version of ATR. Instead of having volatility reading as unit price, we have percentage of the current price. Let say currently ATR is at 200 and the current close is 2000. Then this ATR will output 10.0 (10.0% volatility reading).
Average True Range Percentage (ATRP)What is ATRP?
Average True Range Percentage (ATRP) expresses the Average True Range (ATR) indicator as a percentage of a bar’s closing price.
How does this indicator work?
ATRP is used to measure volatility just as the Average True Range (ATR) indicator is. ATRP allows securities to be compared, where ATR does not.
ATR measures volatility at an absolute level, meaning lower priced stock will have lower ATR values than higher price stocks.
ATRP displays the indicator as a percentage, to allow for securities trading at different prices per share to be compared.

Weekly Open Percent RangeA simple take on finding percentage gain/drop range in a week for ranging or trending market instrument.
This script is hard coded to plot 0 to 3%, -3% range for the week base on instrument weekly open price.
Best to use with measured volatility indicator to gauge the movement of price. Anytime the price goes above the range level then it is likely to be trending. Highly volatile instruments will not find this indicator useful. It is best for heavy instruments like Forex or Indices where range % in a week in a non-volatile move is really quite small that these act as resistances and support.
Range Levels:
3%
2.5%
2%
1.5%
1%
0.75%
0.5%
0.25%
0%
-.25%
-.5%
-.75%
-1%
-1.5%
-2%
-2.5%
-3%
The next step for this indicator is to consider volatility range of instrument and to include this in the percentage zone levels instead of hard coding these.
Intraday (green), overnight (red), sum (blue) We know the volatility has some autocorrelation with yesterday's value.
So we could to guess the daily volatility for the next trading day.
Probability: Bull/Bear Dominance | Ratio | Bar CountIntro
What's the probability of the next bar being red? How about green? Well, there are many ways to quantify the probability but I am presenting just one stupidly simple (but generally accurate) way to measure it.
Strangely... no one has done this before that I can find. I try to check if someone else has done it first (Pro Tip: Plz do this. We honestly don't need the 5 trillionth "MTF MAs" script.)
Indicator
Its a basic counting script, but the nice thing about this script is you choose the time range. It starts counting from a specified point of your choosing. It counts up the bull bars and bear bars separately.
Bull Bar = Close > Open
Bear Bar = Open > Close
You can look at them in sum or as a ratio of Green Bars : Red Bars
I know, it's almost too simple. But, here's some interesting food for thought from a layman to fellow laymen.
Analysis/Edge
Between the time of candle open and candle close, the price can do one of three things, close higher, close lower, or close equal to.
'Equal to' is rare on higher timeframes in liquid markets and it provides no useful information. Thus, we'll nix it for purposes of this conversation.
So boil it down. The next candle is going to be a red candle or a green candle.
It is popular to refer to the general probability of most candles as 50/50, with trader's mission in life being to seek an edge that tilts the probabilities slightly in their favor.
The truth is the odds are probably never actually 50/50, but knowing the precisely correct probability is unknowable, just like the accuracy of a weather forecast is inherently unknowable. What we're trying to do as traders is develop systems that give us predictive probabilistic outcomes that correspond with future realities based on various ways of measuring the market (most often heavily dependent on the past).
The reality is that the market can be measured in many, many different ways. The important thing is that you measure it in a way that is accurate, relevant, and universally applicable.
So look at this indicator here:
You start from a point in time on a chosen timeframe and you put red bars in the red column, green in the green column, and count them all up.
Then you make a ratio, in this case, Green : Red.
What the ratio shows you is the percentage of green bars compared to red bars . At the time of this screenshot, the 4h on the SPX starting from the 2020 bottom is showing a ratio of 1.2.
This means there have been 20% more green bars than there have been red bars.
Now there are 1,000 directions you can take this discussion. What is the overall volatility picture, the size of the red bars vs the green bars, what happens if you miss out on the 5 biggest green bars... so many more variables that you would need to take into account to develop a true edge from this idea. But, the bottom line fact (which is what I like about this) is that we can take this data and say with a certain level of confidence that on the SPX you have a 20% better shot at making money (otherwise stated there's a 60/40 chance) if you open a LONG trade at the beginning of a 4h candle than if you open a short.
That's useful information. One could argue that it's not a complete strategy in and of itself (although I bet it could be with a couple of additional parameters). But I can tell you, based on the 4h candles in the 2020 rally if you open a short, the deck is stacked against you from this perspective. And we can actually somewhat demonstrate this to be true for our dataset because we can look at the price history and see who likely made more money. The SPX is up 1000pts off the bottom. So, thus far, for this dataset, it rings true; Bulls have been doing way better in the latter part of 2020 than the bears.
Conclusion
Predictive systems with a small number of variables tend to be more robust than a system with many variables when applied to a complex system. I may keep updating this script if people like it and determine aspects like population vs sample size, confidence intervals, volatility, and exclusion of outliers. For now, this is just an opening foray into the basic idea of how we can establish an edge in the markets. It really can be this simple.
Thanks for Reading.
VRP Zones with Strategy Labels & TooltipsThis script marries the core concept of Volatility Risk Premium—how far implied vol sits above or below realized vol—with practical, on-chart signals that guide you toward specific options trades. By seeing “High VRP” in orange or “Negative VRP” in red right on your price bars (with hover-for-tooltip strategy tips), you get both the quantitative measure and the qualitative trade idea in one glance.
VIX9D to VIX RatioVIX9D to VIX Ratio
The ratio > 1 can signal near-term fear > long-term fear (potential short-term stress).
The ratio < 1 implies long-term implied volatility is higher — more typical in calm markets.
Clarix Trailing MasterClarix Trailing Master
Advanced Manual Entry Trailing Stop Strategy
Purpose :
Clarix Trailing Master is designed to give traders precise control over trade exits with a customizable trailing stop system. It combines manual entry inputs with dynamic and static trailing stop options, empowering users to protect profits while minimizing premature stop-outs.
How It Works:
You manually input your trade entry price and specify the trade direction (Long or Short).
The strategy activates the trailing stop only after the price moves favorably by a configurable profit threshold. This helps avoid early stop losses during initial market noise.
You can choose between a dynamic trailing stop based on Average True Range (ATR) or a fixed static trailing distance. The ATR can also be computed on a higher timeframe for enhanced stability.
Once active, the trailing stop updates live with price movements, ensuring your gains are locked in progressively.
If the price crosses the trailing stop, a clear alert triggers, and the stop-hit status displays visually on the chart.
Key Features:
Manual entry with exact price and timestamp input for precise trade tracking.
Supports both Long and Short trades.
Choice between dynamic ATR-based trailing or static trailing stops.
Configurable profit threshold before trailing stop activation to avoid early exits.
Visual markers for entry and stop-hit points (yellow and red respectively).
Live dashboard displaying entry details, trade status, trailing mode, and current stop level.
Works on all asset classes and timeframes, adaptable to various trading styles.
Built-in audio alert notifies you immediately when the trailing stop is hit.
Usage Tips:
Adjust the profit threshold and ATR settings based on your asset’s volatility and timeframe. For example, use higher ATR multipliers for more volatile markets like crypto.
Consider using higher timeframe ATR values for smoother trailing stops in fast-moving markets.
Ideal for swing trading or position trading where precise stop management is crucial.
Always backtest and paper trade before applying to live markets.
Movement WatcherMovement Watcher – Intraday Price Change Alert
This indicator tracks the percentage price movement of a selected symbol (e.g., VIX) from a configurable start time. If the intraday movement crosses a defined threshold (up or down), it triggers a one-time alert per day.
Key Features:
Monitors intraday % change from the specified start time.
Triggers one-time alerts for upper or lower threshold crossings.
Optional end time for monitoring period.
Visual plots and alert markers.
Useful for automated trading via webhook integrations.
This script was designed to work with automated trading tools such as the Trading Automation Toolbox. You can use it to generate alerts based on intraday volatility and route them via webhook for automated strategies.
Relative ATRThis indicator enhances the standard Average True Range (ATR) by providing context about current volatility relative to its recent historical average. It highlights periods where ATR is significantly higher or lower than its own recent norm.
BONK/USD (1H) - $4k DCA + Dual Trailing + Date FilterThis strategy trades BONK/USD on the 1-hour chart, employing a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach for long entries.
It initiates a Base Order when a faster Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses above a slower one (signaling a potential uptrend, default 9/21 EMA). If the price declines after entry, it can automatically place up to two additional Safety Orders at predetermined lower levels, calculated using either Average True Range (ATR) volatility or fixed percentage drops.
Exits are triggered by a trend reversal (EMA crossunder) or a dual trailing stop-loss mechanism, which includes both a standard trail and a tighter profit-locking trail activated after reaching a certain profit target.
The strategy includes user-configurable inputs for all key parameters (EMAs, order sizes, trailing stops, SO spacing) and an optional date filter to limit backtesting or execution to a specific period. It also generates alerts formatted for potential automation with platforms like 3Commas.
pips barThis indicator displays a line (pips bar) of lengths corresponding to the set number of pips on the chart. This pips bar serves as a reference for assessing the volatility of the displayed chart. One pip for currency pairs is distinguished for JPY pairs and for others.
The horizontal position of the pips bar is offset to the right of the latest bar by the specified bar amount, and the vertical position can be selected from Top, Middle, or Bottom, calculated using the maximum and minimum values visible on the chart.
Concept Probability ConeThe Concept Probability Cone is a mathematical indicator designed to demonstrate the potential price range of an asset based on its historical volatility and statistical probabilities. Unlike most publicly available probability cone scripts, which often contain inaccuracies and oversimplifications, this tool is developed with a strong focus on precision and accuracy. It is important to note, however, that the Concept Probability Cone is currently in its initial stage, and further improvements and refinements may be introduced over time.
One significant difference between the Concept Probability Cone and other publicly available scripts is the incorporation of inverse Cumulative Distribution Functions (CDFs) in its calculations. Inverse CDFs are used to map a random variable's probability distribution to its corresponding quantile, which helps in determining the asset's price boundaries with a higher level of precision. This key feature sets the Concept Probability Cone apart from other tools, addressing the flaws found in many existing probability cone scripts.
This is a proof of concept indicator. Users are encouraged to play around with the tool, explore its features, and gain a deeper understanding of the statistical principles it demonstrates.
