RSI Pivots with Divergence Overlay█ OVERVIEW
The RSI Pivots with Divergence Overlay indicator is an advanced tool based on RSI, displaying dynamic bands on the price chart to simplify the identification of overbought and oversold conditions. Pivot points and divergences between them are derived from these bands, providing a comprehensive view of the market and enabling the creation of various trading strategies based on this single indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Areas where RSI exits the bands are often reversal points in the market. The concept of this indicator is to highlight places where the probability of a trend reversal increases. Therefore, pivots and divergences have been added to better identify these key moments. Additionally, the bands allow viewing the market context in relation to the RSI indicator, facilitating analysis of momentum and volatility.
█ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic Bands and RSI Signals: The bands are calculated based on the closing price and RSI value, with dynamic scaling adjusted to market volatility. The upper band corresponds to overbought levels, the lower to oversold, and the midline is their average. The price level relative to the bands serves as a visual RSI signal, indicating potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Pivot Points: The indicator identifies local price highs and lows in relation to RSI levels. The pivot level is taken from the high/low of the candle. A high pivot is detected when the high of the candle reaches a local maximum after crossing the upper RSI level (overbought), signaling a potential reversal. A low pivot appears after a local price minimum following a drop below the lower RSI level (oversold), indicating a possible uptrend reversal. The pivot length (default 2 bars) defines the search range for these extremes, meaning that with a length of 2, a potential divergence signal will appear with a 2-candle delay, as this is the minimum time required to confirm a local pivot. Pivot lines are drawn on the chart, and labels display the RSI value (from the close of the candle) and price at the detection moment. Pivot lines disappear after the detection of the next low pivot for lower lines and high pivot for upper lines, but unbreached lines or those with high volume may still serve as support or resistance levels.
Divergence Detection: The indicator automatically detects divergences to predict trend changes. Bearish divergence occurs when the price forms a higher high pivot, but the RSI (from the close of the candle) is lower than in the previous pivot, indicating weakening upward momentum and a potential bearish reversal. Bullish divergence appears when the price forms a lower low pivot, but the RSI is higher, suggesting building momentum and a possible bullish reversal. Divergences are marked in pivot labels (e.g., "Bear Div" or "Bull Div") and supported by alerts upon detection.
Return Signals: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on RSI (price) returning to the bands after extreme conditions, independently of pivots and divergences. A buy signal is triggered when RSI (price) crosses above the lower level (exiting oversold), suggesting a potential price rise toward the midline or upper band. A sell signal occurs when RSI (price) falls below the upper level (exiting overbought), indicating a possible price drop toward the lower band. Signals are visualized as arrows (up/down triangles) on the chart, with customizable colors.
█ CONFIGURATION
The indicator offers extensive customization options:
RSI Length (rsiLength): Sets the number of periods used to calculate RSI (default 14).
RSI Upper Level (rsiUpper): Defines the overbought threshold (default 70).
RSI Lower Level (rsiLower): Defines the oversold threshold (default 30).
Band Scaling (scale): Determines the scaling multiplier for bands based on market volatility (default 15.0).
SMA Length for Candle Midpoint (length): Number of periods for calculating the moving average of candle midpoints (default 200). This parameter is used to smooth price data, enabling more accurate volatility assessment and band width adjustment to market dynamics.
Pivot Length (pivotLength): Sets the range (in bars) for detecting local price extremes (default 2).
Pivot Label Offset (pivotLabelOffset): Multiplier for the candle range to position pivot labels (default 0.3).
Show Bands (showBands): Enables/disables the display of bands on the chart.
Show Fill (showFill): Enables/disables the fill between bands and the midline.
Show Pivot Lines (showPivotLines): Enables/disables pivot lines on the chart.
Show Pivot Labels (showPivotLabels): Enables/disables labels with RSI and price values at pivots.
Show Return Signals (showReturnSignals): Enables/disables the display of buy and sell signals.
Colors and Style: Customizable colors for bands, fills, pivot lines, labels, and line widths (default 1).
█ USAGE
The indicator performs best when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as Fibonacci levels, moving averages, or trendlines, to confirm pivot, divergence, and return signals. It enables traders to identify key reversal points, detect hidden trend weaknesses through divergences, and confirm trade entries with return signals.
Usage Examples:
Price bounces off a previous pivot with high volume – this increases the probability of a trend change or correction.
A similar situation when RSI is outside the bands strengthens the signal.
If divergence occurs in addition, we have further confirmation.
This can be combined with Fibonacci levels to check if Fibo zones overlap with pivot lines – this may increase the chance of a strong price reaction.
█ ALERTS
The indicator supports alerts for:
Buy and sell signals (RSI returning to bands).
Detection of bearish and bullish divergences.
OB/OS adaptative v1.1# OB/OS Adaptative v1.1 - Multi-Timeframe Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Indicator
## Overview
The `tradingview_indicator_emas.pine` script is a sophisticated multi-timeframe indicator designed to identify dynamic overbought and oversold levels in financial markets. It combines EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers and Bollinger Bands across monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes to create adaptive support and resistance levels that adjust to changing market conditions.
## Core Functionality
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator analyzes three timeframes simultaneously:
- **Monthly (M)**: Long-term trend identification
- **Weekly (W)**: Intermediate-term trend identification
- **Daily (D)**: Short-term volatility measurement
### Technical Indicators Used
- **EMA 9 and EMA 20**: For trend identification and momentum assessment
- **Bollinger Bands (20-period)**: For volatility measurement and extreme level identification
- **Price action**: For confirmation of level validity and signal generation
## Key Features
### Adaptive Level Calculation
The indicator dynamically determines overbought and oversold levels based on market structure and trend bias:
#### Monthly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when monthly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = upper of EMA9 or Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when monthly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Weekly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when weekly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when weekly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Daily Level Logic
- Simple Bollinger Bands:
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
### Final Level Determination
The indicator combines all three timeframes through a weighted averaging process:
1. Calculates initial values as the average of monthly, weekly, and daily levels
2. Ensures mathematical consistency by enforcing overbought_final ≥ oversold_final using min/max functions
3. Calculates a midpoint average level as the center of the range
### Visual Elements
- **Dynamic Lines**: Draws horizontal lines for current and previous period overbought, oversold, and average levels
- **Labels**: Places clear textual labels at the start of each period
- **Color Coding**:
- Red for overbought levels (resistance)
- Green for oversold levels (support)
- Blue for average levels (pivot point)
- **Transparency**: Previous period lines use semi-transparent colors to distinguish between current and historical levels
### Update Mechanism
- **Calculation Day**: User-defined day of the week (default: Monday)
- On the specified calculation day, the indicator:
- Updates all levels based on previous bar's data
- Draws new lines extending forward for a user-defined number of days
- Maintains previous period lines for comparison and trend analysis
- Automatically deletes and recreates lines to ensure clean visualization
### Proximity Detection
- Alerts when price approaches overbought/oversold levels (configurable distance in percentage)
- Helps identify potential reversal zones before actual crossovers occur
- Distance thresholds are user-configurable for both overbought and oversold conditions
### Alert Conditions
The indicator provides four distinct alert types:
1. **Cross below oversold**: Triggered when price crosses below the oversold level
2. **Cross above overbought**: Triggered when price crosses above the overbought level
3. **Near oversold**: Triggered when price approaches the oversold level within the configured distance
4. **Near overbought**: Triggered when price approaches the overbought level within the configured distance
### Debug Mode
When enabled, displays comprehensive debug information including:
- Current values for all levels (oversold, overbought, average)
- Timeframe-specific calculations and raw data points
- System status information (current day, calculation day, etc.)
- Lines existence and timing information
- Organized in multiple labels at different price levels to avoid overlap
## Configuration Parameters

Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.

Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T TensionOverview
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension Bands indicator dynamically adapts to market conditions using an advanced statistical model based on the Student-T distribution. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, this indicator leverages elastic volume-weighted averaging to compute real-time dispersion and location parameters, making it highly responsive to volatility changes while maintaining robustness against price fluctuations.
This methodology is inspired by incremental calculation techniques for weighted mean and variance, as outlined in the paper by Tony Finch:
📄 "Incremental Calculation of Weighted Mean and Variance" .
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Volatility Estimation – Uses an exponentially weighted Student-T model to dynamically adjust band width.
✅ Volume-Weighted Mean & Dispersion – Incorporates real-time volume weighting, ensuring a more accurate representation of market sentiment.
✅ High-Timeframe Volume Normalization – Provides an option to smooth volume impact by referencing a higher timeframe’s cumulative volume, reducing noise from high-variability bars.
✅ Customizable Tension Parameters – Configurable standard deviation multipliers (σ) allow for fine-tuned volatility sensitivity.
✅ %B-Like Oscillator for Relative Price Positioning – The main indicator is in form of a dedicated oscillator pane that normalizes price position within the sigma ranges, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential momentum shifts.
✅ Robust Statistical Foundation – Utilizes kurtosis-based degree-of-freedom estimation, enhancing responsiveness across different market conditions.
How It Works
Volume-Weighted Elastic Mean (eμ) – Computes a dynamic mean price using an elastic weighted moving average approach, influenced by trade volume, if not volume detected in series, study takes true range as replacement.
Dispersion (eσ) via Student-T Distribution – Instead of assuming a fixed normal distribution, the bands adapt to heavy-tailed distributions using kurtosis-driven degrees of freedom.
Incremental Calculation of Variance – The indicator applies Tony Finch’s incremental method for computing weighted variance instead of arithmetic sum's of fixed bar window or arrays, improving efficiency and numerical stability.
Tension Calculation – There are 2 dispersion custom "zones" that are computed based on the weighted mean and dynamically adjusted standard student-t deviation.
%B-Like Oscillator Calculation – The oscillator normalizes the price within the band structure, with values between 0 and 1:
* 0.00 → Price is at the lower band (-2σ).
* 0.50 → Price is at the volume-weighted mean (eμ).
* 1.00 → Price is at the upper band (+2σ).
* Readings above 1.00 or below 0.00 suggest extreme movements or possible breakouts.
Recommended Usage
For scalping in lower timeframes, it is recommended to use the fixed α Decay Factor, it is in raw format for better control, but you can easily make a like of transformation to N-bar size window like in EMA-1 bar dividing 2 / decayFactor or like an RMA dividing 1 / decayFactor.
The HTF selector catch quite well Higher Time Frame analysis, for example using a Daily chart and using as HTF the 200-day timeframe, weekly or monthly.
Suitable for trend confirmation, breakout detection, and mean reversion plays.
The %B-like oscillator helps gauge momentum strength and detect divergences in price action if user prefer a clean chart without bands, this thanks to pineScript v6 force overlay feature.
Ideal for markets with volume-driven momentum shifts (e.g., futures, forex, crypto).
Customization Parameters
Fixed α Decay Factor – Controls the rate of volume weighting influence for an approximation EWMA approach instead of using sum of series or arrays, making the code lightweight & computing fast O(1).
HTF Volume Smoothing – Instead of a fixed denominator for computing α , a volume sum of the last 2 higher timeframe closed candles are used as denominator for our α weight factor. This is useful to review mayor trends like in daily, weekly, monthly.
Tension Multipliers (±σ) – Adjusts sensitivity to dispersion sigma parameter (volatility).
Oscillator Zone Fills – Visual cues for price positioning within the cloud range.
Posible Interpretations
As market within indicators relay on each individual edge, this are just some key ideas to glimpse how the indicator could be interpreted by the user:
📌 Price inside bands – Market is considered somehow "stable"; price is like resting from tension or "charging batteries" for volume spike moves.
📌 Price breaking outer bands – Potential breakout or extreme movement; watch for reversals or continuation from strong moves. Market is already in tension or generating it.
📌 Narrowing Bands – Decreasing volatility; expect contraction before expansion.
📌 Widening Bands – Increased volatility; prepare for high probability pull-back moves, specially to the center location of the bands (the mean) or the other side of them.
📌 Oscillator is just the interpretation of the price normalized across the Student-T distribution fitting "curve" using the location parameter, our Elastic Volume weighted mean (eμ) fixed at 0.5 value.
Final Thoughts
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension indicator provides a powerful, volume-sensitive alternative to traditional volatility bands. By integrating real-time volume analysis with an adaptive statistical model, incremental variance computation, in a relative price oscillator that can be overlayed in the chart as bands, it offers traders an edge in identifying momentum shifts, trend strength, and breakout potential. Think of the distribution as a relative "tension" rubber band in which price never leave so far alone.

Optimized Dynamic SupertrendDetailed Explanation of the Optimized Dynamic Supertrend Script
This Supertrend script is designed to dynamically adapt to different market conditions using ATR expansion, volume confirmation, and trend filtering. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how it works and its functions.
1 ATR-Based Supertrend Calculation
📌 Key Purpose:
The script calculates an adaptive ATR-based Supertrend line, which acts as a dynamic support or resistance level for trend direction.
📌 How it Works:
ATR (Average True Range) is used to measure market volatility.
A dynamic ATR multiplier is applied based on price standard deviation (instead of a fixed value).
The Supertrend is calculated as:
Upper Band: SMA(close, ATR length) + (ATR Multiplier * ATR Value)
Lower Band: SMA(close, ATR length) - (ATR Multiplier * ATR Value)
The Supertrend flips when price crosses and holds beyond the Supertrend line.
🔹 Dynamic Adjustment:
Instead of using a fixed ATR multiplier, the script adjusts it using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
dynamicFactor = ta.stdev(close, atrLength) / ta.sma(close, atrLength)
atrMultiplier = input(1.5, title="Base ATR Multiplier") * dynamicFactor
High volatility → Wider Supertrend bands (to avoid false signals).
Low volatility → Tighter Supertrend bands (for faster detection).
2 Trend Detection Logic
📌 Key Purpose:
Determines if the market is in a bullish or bearish trend based on price action.
Uses volume sensitivity and ATR expansion to reduce false signals.
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
var float supertrend = na
supertrend := close > nz(supertrend , lowerBand) ? lowerBand : upperBand
The Supertrend value updates dynamically.
If price is above the Supertrend line, the trend is bullish (green).
If price is below the Supertrend line, the trend is bearish (red).
3 Volume Sensitivity Confirmation
📌 Key Purpose:
Avoid false trend flips by confirming with volume (approximated using a CVD proxy).
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
priceChange = close - close
volumeWeightedTrend = priceChange * volume // Approximate CVD Behavior
trendConfirmed = volumeWeightedTrend > 0 ? close > supertrend : close < supertrend
Positive price change + High volume → Confirms bullish momentum.
Negative price change + High volume → Confirms bearish momentum.
If there’s low volume, the trend change is ignored to avoid false breakouts.
4 Noise Reduction (Final Trend Confirmation)
📌 Key Purpose:
Filter out weak or choppy price movements using ATR expansion.
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
trendUp = trendConfirmed and ta.atr(atrLength) > ta.atr(atrLength)
trendDown = not trendUp
Trend only flips when confirmed by volume + ATR expansion.
If ATR is not expanding, the script ignores weak price movements.
This ensures Supertrend signals align with strong market moves.
5 Can This Be Used on All Timeframes?
✅ YES! This Supertrend is adaptive, meaning it adjusts dynamically based on:
Volatility: Uses ATR expansion to adjust for different market conditions.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Works on any timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W).
Market Structure: Confirms trend flips using volume & price movement strength.
🚀 Best Timeframes for Trading:
For Scalping (1M - 15M) → Quick execution, best with order flow confirmation.
For Swing Trading (1H - 4H - 1D) → Stronger trend signals, reduced noise.
For High Timeframes (3D - 1W) → Identifies major market shifts.
🔥 Advantages & Disadvantages in Your Trading Setup
✅ Advantages:
✔ Fully Dynamic & Adaptive → Adjusts to different timeframes & volatility.
✔ Reduces False Signals → Uses ATR expansion & volume confirmation.
✔ Precise Trend Reversals → Labels LONG & SHORT entries clearly.
✔ Works on Any Market → Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities.
✔ No Extra Indicators → Pure Supertrend-based (fits your setup).
❌ Disadvantages:
⚠ Lagging Indicator → ATR & volume confirmation add slight delay.
⚠ Needs High Volume to Confirm → Weak volume → no trend flip.
⚠ Choppy Market = Late Entries → Sideways movement can cause delays.
🚀 Final Thoughts:
It’s fully dynamic & adaptive (unlike traditional static Supertrends).
No extra indicators → Uses only Supertrend logic
Refines entry points using volume & ATR confirmation (removes noise).
This ensures you get high-probability trend signals while filtering out weak breakouts! 🎯

By providing detailed explanations of the methodologies and the synergistic use of multiple indicators, this script aligns with TradingView's guidelines for originality and usefulness. It offers traders a unique tool that enhances market analysis through the thoughtful integration of technical indicators.
True Amplitude Envelopes (TAE)The True Envelopes indicator is an adaptation of the True Amplitude Envelope (TAE) method, based on the research paper " Improved Estimation of the Amplitude Envelope of Time Domain Signals Using True Envelope Cepstral Smoothing " by Caetano and Rodet. This indicator aims to create an asymmetric price envelope with strong predictive power, closely following the methodology outlined in the paper.
Due to the inherent limitations of Pine Script, the indicator utilizes a Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) in place of the original Cepstral Smoothing technique described in the paper. While this approach was chosen out of necessity rather than superiority, the resulting method is designed to be as effective as possible within the constraints of the Pine environment.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking an advanced tool to analyze price dynamics, offering insights into potential price movements while working within the practical constraints of Pine Script. Whether used in dynamic mode or with a static setting, the True Envelopes indicator helps in identifying key support and resistance levels, making it a valuable asset in any trading strategy.
Key Features:
Dynamic Mode: The indicator dynamically estimates the fundamental frequency of the price, optimizing the envelope generation process in real-time to capture critical price movements.
High-Pass Filtering: Uses a high-pass filtered signal to identify and smoothly interpolate price peaks, ensuring that the envelope accurately reflects significant price changes.
Kernel Density Estimation: Although implemented as a workaround, the KDE technique allows for flexible and adaptive smoothing of the envelope, aimed at achieving results comparable to the more sophisticated methods described in the original research.
Symmetric and Asymmetric Envelopes: Provides options to select between symmetric and asymmetric envelopes, accommodating various trading strategies and market conditions.
Smoothness Control: Features adjustable smoothness settings, enabling users to balance between responsiveness and the overall smoothness of the envelopes.
The True Envelopes indicator comes with a variety of input settings that allow traders to customize the behavior of the envelopes to match their specific trading needs and market conditions. Understanding each of these settings is crucial for optimizing the indicator's performance.
Main Settings
Source: This is the data series on which the indicator is applied, typically the closing price (close). You can select other price data like open, high, low, or a custom series to base the envelope calculations.
History: This setting determines how much historical data the indicator should consider when calculating the envelopes. A value of 0 will make the indicator process all available data, while a higher value restricts it to the most recent n bars. This can be useful for reducing the computational load or focusing the analysis on recent market behavior.
Iterations: This parameter controls the number of iterations used in the envelope generation algorithm. More iterations will typically result in a smoother envelope, but can also increase computation time. The optimal number of iterations depends on the desired balance between smoothness and responsiveness.
Kernel Style: The smoothing kernel used in the Kernel Density Estimator (KDE). Available options include Sinc, Gaussian, Epanechnikov, Logistic, and Triangular. Each kernel has different properties, affecting how the smoothing is applied. For example, Gaussian provides a smooth, bell-shaped curve, while Epanechnikov is more efficient computationally with a parabolic shape.
Envelope Style: This setting determines whether the envelope should be Static or Dynamic. The Static mode applies a fixed period for the envelope, while the Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the period based on the fundamental frequency of the price data. Dynamic mode is typically more responsive to changing market conditions.
High Q: This option controls the quality factor (Q) of the high-pass filter. Enabling this will increase the Q factor, leading to a sharper cutoff and more precise isolation of high-frequency components, which can help in better identifying significant price peaks.
Symmetric: This setting allows you to choose between symmetric and asymmetric envelopes. Symmetric envelopes maintain an equal distance from the central price line on both sides, while asymmetric envelopes can adjust differently above and below the price line, which might better capture market conditions where upside and downside volatility are not equal.
Smooth Envelopes: When enabled, this setting applies additional smoothing to the envelopes. While this can reduce noise and make the envelopes more visually appealing, it may also decrease their responsiveness to sudden market changes.
Dynamic Settings
Extra Detrend: This setting toggles an additional high-pass filter that can be applied when using a long filter period. The purpose is to further detrend the data, ensuring that the envelope focuses solely on the most recent price oscillations.
Filter Period Multiplier: This multiplier adjusts the period of the high-pass filter dynamically based on the detected fundamental frequency. Increasing this multiplier will lengthen the period, making the filter less sensitive to short-term price fluctuations.
Filter Period (Min) and Filter Period (Max): These settings define the minimum and maximum bounds for the high-pass filter period. They ensure that the filter period stays within a reasonable range, preventing it from becoming too short (and overly sensitive) or too long (and too sluggish).
Envelope Period Multiplier: Similar to the filter period multiplier, this adjusts the period for the envelope generation. It scales the period dynamically to match the detected price cycles, allowing for more precise envelope adjustments.
Envelope Period (Min) and Envelope Period (Max): These settings establish the minimum and maximum bounds for the envelope period, ensuring the envelopes remain adaptive without becoming too reactive or too slow.
Static Settings
Filter Period: In static mode, this setting determines the fixed period for the high-pass filter. A shorter period will make the filter more responsive to price changes, while a longer period will smooth out more of the price data.
Envelope Period: This setting specifies the fixed period used for generating the envelopes in static mode. It directly influences how tightly or loosely the envelopes follow the price action.
TAE Smoothing: This controls the degree of smoothing applied during the TAE process in static mode. Higher smoothing values result in more gradual envelope curves, which can be useful in reducing noise but may also delay the envelope’s response to rapid price movements.
Visual Settings
Top Band Color: This setting allows you to choose the color for the upper band of the envelope. This band represents the resistance level in the price action.
Bottom Band Color: Similar to the top band color, this setting controls the color of the lower band, which represents the support level.
Center Line Color: This is the color of the central price line, often referred to as the carrier. It represents the detrended price around which the envelopes are constructed.
Line Width: This determines the thickness of the plotted lines for the top band, bottom band, and center line. Thicker lines can make the envelopes more visible, especially when overlaid on price data.
Fill Alpha: This controls the transparency level of the shaded area between the top and bottom bands. A lower alpha value will make the fill more transparent, while a higher value will make it more opaque, helping to highlight the envelope more clearly.
The envelopes generated by the True Envelopes indicator are designed to provide a more precise and responsive representation of price action compared to traditional methods like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels. The core idea behind this indicator is to create a price envelope that smoothly interpolates the significant peaks in price action, offering a more accurate depiction of support and resistance levels.
One of the critical aspects of this approach is the use of a high-pass filtered signal to identify these peaks. The high-pass filter serves as an effective method of detrending the price data, isolating the rapid fluctuations in price that are often lost in standard trend-following indicators. By filtering out the lower frequency components (i.e., the trend), the high-pass filter reveals the underlying oscillations in the price, which correspond to significant peaks and troughs. These oscillations are crucial for accurately constructing the envelope, as they represent the most responsive elements of the price movement.
The algorithm works by first applying the high-pass filter to the source price data, effectively detrending the series and isolating the high-frequency price changes. This filtered signal is then used to estimate the fundamental frequency of the price movement, which is essential for dynamically adjusting the envelope to current market conditions. By focusing on the peaks identified in the high-pass filtered signal, the algorithm generates an envelope that is both smooth and adaptive, closely following the most significant price changes without overfitting to transient noise.
Compared to traditional envelopes and bands, such as Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, the True Envelopes indicator offers several advantages. Bollinger Bands, which are based on standard deviations, and Keltner Channels, which use the average true range (ATR), both tend to react to price volatility but do not necessarily follow the peaks and troughs of the price with precision. As a result, these traditional methods can sometimes lag behind or fail to capture sudden shifts in price momentum, leading to either false signals or missed opportunities.
In contrast, the True Envelopes indicator, by using a high-pass filtered signal and a dynamic period estimation, adapts more quickly to changes in price behavior. The envelopes generated by this method are less prone to the lag that often affects standard deviation or ATR-based bands, and they provide a more accurate representation of the price's immediate oscillations. This can result in better predictive power and more reliable identification of support and resistance levels, making the True Envelopes indicator a valuable tool for traders looking for a more responsive and precise approach to market analysis.
In conclusion, the True Envelopes indicator is a powerful tool that blends advanced theoretical concepts with practical implementation, offering traders a precise and responsive way to analyze price dynamics. By adapting the True Amplitude Envelope (TAE) method through the use of a Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) and high-pass filtering, this indicator effectively captures the most significant price movements, providing a more accurate depiction of support and resistance levels compared to traditional methods like Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. The flexible settings allow for extensive customization, ensuring the indicator can be tailored to suit various trading strategies and market conditions.
FRAMA Channel [BigBeluga]This is a trend-following indicator that utilizes the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) to create a dynamic channel around the price. The FRAMA Channel helps identify uptrends, downtrends, and ranging markets by examining the relationship between the price and the channel's boundaries. It also marks trend changes with arrows, optionally displaying either price values or average volume at these key points.
🔵 IDEA
The core idea behind the FRAMA Channel indicator is to use the fractal nature of markets to adapt to different market conditions. By creating a channel around the FRAMA line, it not only tracks price trends but also adapts its sensitivity based on market volatility. When the price crosses the upper or lower bands of the channel, it signals a potential shift in trend direction. If the price remains within the channel and crosses over the upper or lower bands without a breakout, the market is likely in a ranging phase with low momentum. This adaptive approach makes the FRAMA Channel effective in both trending and ranging market environments.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Dynamic FRAMA Channel with Trend Signals:
The FRAMA Channel uses a fractal-based moving average to create an adaptive channel around the price. When the price crosses above the upper band, it signals an uptrend and plots an upward arrow with the price (or average volume) value. Conversely, when the price crosses below the lower band, it signals a downtrend and marks the point with a downward arrow. This dynamic adaptation to market conditions helps traders identify key trend shifts effectively.
◉ Ranging Market Detection:
If the price remains within the channel, and only the high crosses the upper band or the low crosses the lower band, the indicator identifies a ranging market with low momentum. In this case, the channel turns gray, signaling a neutral trend. This is particularly useful for avoiding false signals during periods of market consolidation.
◉ Color-Coded Candles and Channel Bands:
Candles and channel bands are color-coded to reflect the current trend direction. Green indicates an upward trend, blue shows a downward trend, and gray signals a neutral or ranging market. This visual representation makes it easy to identify the market condition at a glance, helping traders make informed decisions quickly.
◉ Customizable Display of Price or Average Volume:
On trend change signals, the indicator allows users to choose whether to display the price at the point of trend change or the average volume of 10 bars. This flexibility enables traders to focus on the information that is most relevant to their strategy, whether it's the exact price entery or the volume context of the market shift. Displaying the average volume allows to see the strength of the trend change.
Price Data:
Average Volume of points:
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Bands Distance: Adjust the length for the FRAMA calculation to control the sensitivity of the channel. A shorter length makes the channel more reactive to price changes, while a longer length smooths it out. The Bands Distance setting determines how far the bands are from the FRAMA line, helping to define the breakout and ranging conditions.
Signals Data: Choose between displaying the price or the average volume on trend change arrows. This allows traders to focus on either the exact price level of trend change or the market volume context.
Color Settings: Customize the colors for upward momentum, downward momentum, and neutral states to suit your charting preferences. You can also toggle whether to color the candles based on the momentum for a clearer visual of the trend direction.
The FRAMA Channel indicator adapts to market conditions, providing a versatile tool for identifying trends and ranging markets with clear visual cues.

Adjustable Percentage Range Moving AverageAdjustable Percentage Range Moving Average (APRMA)
The Adjustable Percentage Range Moving Average (APRMA) is a technical analysis tool designed for traders and market analysts who seek a dynamic approach to understanding market volatility and trend identification. Unlike traditional moving averages, the APRMA incorporates user-adjustable percentage bands around a central moving average line, offering a customizable view of price action relative to its recent history.
Key Features:
Central Moving Average: At its core, APRMA calculates a moving average (type of your choice) of the price over a specified number of periods, serving as the baseline for the indicator.
Percentage Bands: Surrounding the moving average are four bands, two above and two below, set at user-defined percentages away from the central line. These bands expand and contract based on the percentage input, not on standard deviation like Bollinger Bands, which allows for a consistent visual interpretation of how far the price has moved from its average.
Customizability: Users can adjust:
The length of the moving average period to suit short-term, medium-term, or long-term analysis.
The percentage offset for the bands, enabling traders to set the sensitivity of the indicator according to the asset's volatility or their trading strategy.
Visual Interpretation:
When the price moves towards or beyond the upper band, it might indicate that the asset is potentially overbought or that a strong upward trend is in place.
Conversely, price action near or below the lower band could suggest an oversold condition or a strong downward trend.
The space between the bands can be used to gauge volatility; narrower bands suggest lower current volatility relative to the average, while wider bands indicate higher volatility.
Usage in Trading:
Trend Confirmation: A price staying above the moving average and pushing the upper band might confirm an uptrend, while staying below and testing the lower band could confirm a downtrend.
Reversion Strategies: Traders might look for price to revert to the mean (moving average) when it touches or crosses the bands, setting up potential entry or exit points.
Breakout Signals: A price moving decisively through a band after a period of consolidation within the bands might signal a breakout.
The APRMA provides a clear, adaptable framework for traders to visualize where the price stands in relation to its recent average, offering insights into potential overbought/oversold conditions, trend strength, and volatility, all tailored by the trader's strategic preferences.

Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal"Johnny's Adjusted BB Buy/Sell Signal" leverages Bollinger Bands and moving averages to provide dynamic buy and sell signals based on market conditions. This indicator is particularly useful for traders looking to identify strategic entry and exit points based on volatility and trend analysis.
How It Works
Bollinger Bands Setup: The indicator calculates Bollinger Bands using a specified length and multiplier. These bands serve to identify potential overbought (upper band) or oversold (lower band) conditions.
Moving Averages: Two moving averages are calculated — a trend moving average (trendMA) and a long-term moving average (longTermMA) — to gauge the market's direction over different time frames.
Market Phase Determination: The script classifies the market into bullish or bearish phases based on the relationship of the closing price to the long-term moving average.
Strong Buy and Sell Signals: Enhanced signals are generated based on how significantly the price deviates from the Bollinger Bands, coupled with the average candle size over a specified lookback period. The signals are adjusted based on whether the market is bullish or bearish:
In bullish markets, a strong buy signal is triggered if the price significantly drops below the lower Bollinger Band. Conversely, a strong sell signal is activated when the price rises well above the upper band.
In bearish markets, these signals are modified to be more conservative, adjusting the thresholds for triggering strong buy and sell signals.
Features:
Flexibility: Users can adjust the length of the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, as well as the multipliers and factors that determine the strength of buy and sell signals, making it highly customizable to different trading styles and market conditions.
Visual Aids: The script vividly plots the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, and signals are visually represented on the chart, allowing traders to quickly assess trading opportunities:
Regular buy and sell signals are indicated by simple shapes below or above price bars.
Strong buy and sell signals are highlighted with distinctive colors and placed prominently to catch the trader's attention.
Background Coloring: The background color changes based on the market phase, providing an immediate visual cue of the market's overall sentiment.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on technical analysis to guide their trading decisions. By integrating both Bollinger Bands and moving averages, it provides a multi-faceted view of market trends and volatility, making it suitable for identifying potential reversals and continuation patterns. Traders can use this tool to enhance their understanding of market dynamics and refine their trading strategies accordingly.

Bollinger OTT SpreadBollinger OTT Spread (BOOTS) is a development combining Bollinger Bands with Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) Indicator by Anıl Özekşi.
Bollinger Bands have originally 3 lines: Simple Moving Average (Middle Line), Upper Band and Lower Band.
BOOTS concentrates on the upper and lower Bollinger band lines.
First, it calculates the OTT using the UPPER and LOWER Bollinger Bands in a period of time (default lengths are 2) instead of closing prices.
After that, Upper and lower bands have more constant values.
There are 2 lines in BOOTS:
-The top (cyan) line is originally an OTT of the Upper Bollinger Band. (BOOTShigh)
-The bottom line (purple) is also an OTT line but conversely uses Lower Bollinger Band in the same period. (BOOTSlow)
Default values:
Bollinger Bands Moving AveragePeriod: 2 Bars
OTT Length: 2 Bars
OTT Optimizing coefficient (percent): %10
Bollinger Bands Standart Deviation Multiplier: 2 (not adjustable)
These values are designed for daily time frame, so they have to be optimized in other timeframes by the user. (Ex: Higher values can be considered in lower time frames)
Originally, Bollinger Bands used a Simple Moving Average in their calculation, but this time, Anıl Özekşi prefers VIDYA (Variable Dynamic Moving Average = VAR) instead of a Simple Moving Average.
Bollinger Bands cannot create significant BUY & SELL signals considering their original logic, but the primary purpose of BOOTS is to have substantial trading signals:
BUY when the price crosses above the BOOTSLower line (purple line)
STOP when the price crosses back below the BOOTSLower line (purple line)
SELL when the price crosses below the BOOTSUpper line (cyan line)
STOP when the price crosses back above the BOOTSUpper line (cyan line)
The price zone between the two lines is the flat zone; traders don't consider taking new positions in that area between the two lines.
Developer Anıl Özekşi advises that traders may have more accurate signals when using a short-period moving average instead of closing prices. So, I added a moving average with the same default length of 2 , which was used in Bollinger Bands calculation. You can check the "SHOW MOVING AVERAGE?" box on the settings tab of the indicator.
MESThe Double Bollinger Bands strategy is a trend-following strategy that aims to identify high-probability trading opportunities in trending markets. The strategy involves using two sets of Bollinger Bands with different standard deviation values to identify potential entry and exit points.
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that consists of three lines plotted on a price chart: a simple moving average (SMA) in the middle, and an upper and lower band that are each a certain number of standard deviations away from the SMA. The standard deviation value determines the width of the bands, with a larger deviation resulting in wider bands.
In this indicator, the first set of Bollinger Bands is calculated using a length of 20 bars and a standard deviation of 2, while the second set uses a length of 20 bars and a standard deviation of 3. The bands are plotted on the price chart along with the SMA for each set.
The buy signal is generated when the price falls below the lower band of the second set of Bollinger Bands (the 3-standard deviation band) and then rises above the lower band of the first set (the 2-standard deviation band). This is interpreted as a potential reversal point in a downtrend and a signal to enter a long position.
Conversely, the sell signal is generated when the price rises above the upper band of the second set of Bollinger Bands and then falls below the upper band of the first set. This is interpreted as a potential reversal point in an uptrend and a signal to enter a short position.
To make it easier to identify buy and sell signals on the price chart, the indicator plots triangles above the bars for sell signals and below the bars for buy signals.
Overall, the Double Bollinger Bands strategy can be a useful tool for traders who want to follow trends and identify potential entry and exit points. However, as with any trading strategy, it is important to backtest and thoroughly evaluate its performance before using it in live trading.
Momentum Channel - [Volume Filter]The indicator incorporates a volume filter to ensure that the RSI only moves when the volume is above the moving average of the volume.
The filtered RSI is then used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, providing insights into the market dynamics.
It also gives you insight into the bigger timeframes so you can monitor momentum!

Overview of code:
rsiPeriod: Input parameter for the RSI period.
bandLength: Input parameter for the length of the Bollinger Bands.
lengthrsipl: Input parameter for the length of the fast moving average (MA) on the RSI.
volumeFilterLength: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
volumeAvg: Calculates the moving average of the volume using the ta.sma() function with the specified volume filter length.
filteredRsi: Uses the ta.valuewhen() function to obtain the RSI value only when the volume is greater than or equal to the volume moving average. This creates a filtered RSI based on the volume filter.
offs: Calculates the offset value for the Bollinger Bands. It is derived by multiplying 1.6185 with the standard deviation of the filtered RSI using the ta.stdev() function.
Nadaraya-Watson OscillatorThis indicator is based on the work of @jdehorty and his amazing Nadaraya-Watson Kernel Envelope, which you can see here:
General Description
The Nadaraya-Watson Oscillator (NWO) will give the same information as the Nadaraya-Watson Envelope, but as an oscillator off the main chart, by plotting the relationship between price and the Kernel and its bands. This also means that we can now detect divergences between price and the NWO.
You can see the relationship between the two here:
You can think of this indicator as the kernel envelope version of a Bollinger Band %B. In ranging markets the bands are perfect for mean reversion trades, but in certain situations the break of one of the bands can signal the beggining of a strong trend and price will remain close to the bands for a long period and will only give small pullbacks. As with any indicator, confluence with price and other tools must be taken into account.
Main Features
As with @jdehorty 's Envelope, you can change the following settings:
Lookback Window.
Relative Weighting.
The initial bar for the regression.
ATR period for the bands.
Inner and Outer Multiples for the bands.
I also added the following:
A middle band around the Kernel to filter out false crossovers.
A Hull Moving Average to smoothen out the movements of the oscillator and give extra confirmation of turnover points.
Colors
Some special things to note regarding the coloring:
The zero line features a gradient that changes color every time the Kernel slope changes direction.
The Oscillator plot has a gradient coloring that gets stronger the closer it gets to each of the bands.
Every time the oscillator crosses over/under the outer bands the background will be highlighted.
Happy trading!
VWAP Market Session AnchoredVWAP Market Session Anchored differs from the traditional VWAP or VWAP Auto Anchored indicator in that the Volume Weighted Average Price calculation is automatically anchored to four major market session starts: Sydney, London, Tokyo, New York.
Settings
Source: the source for the VWAP calculation.
Offset: changing this number will move the VWAP either Forwards or Backwards, relative to the current market. Zero is the default.
Band: enabling this will show Standard Deviation bands.
Band Multiplier: the value the Standard Deviation bands will be multiplied by before being plotted on the chart.
Sessions : enabling the sessions will plot the respective anchored VWAP on chart.
Custom: enabling this will show a custom user-defined session.
Custom UTC : the custom session is defined by a starting UTC hour followed by the ending UTC hour.
Usage
Similar to the traditional VWAP, VWAP Market Session Anchored is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume. VWAP Market Session Anchored can be used to identify the trend during a specific market session.
Limitations
When setting a custom session, be mindful that calculations are based off of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time, you must convert your local time zone to UTC in order to have an accurate representation of your custom session.
It is not recommended to use this indicator on timeframes above 1 hour as market sessions only last a few hours.
Cryptogrithm's Secret Momentum and Volatility IndicatorThis indicator is hard-coded for Bitcoin, but you may try it on other asset classes/coins. I have not updated this indicator in over 3 years, but it seems to still work very well for Bitcoin.
This indicator is NOT for beginners and is directed towards intermediate/advanced traders with a sensibility to agree/disagree with what this indicator is signalling (common sense).
This indicator was developed back in 2018 and I has not been maintained since, which is the reason why I am releasing it. (It still works great though! At the time of this writing of May 2022).
How to use:
Terms:
PA (Price Action): Literally the candlestick formations on your chart (and the trend formation). If you don't know how to read and understand price action, I will make a fast-track video/guide on this later (but in the meanwhile, you need to begin by learning Order-Flow Analysis, please google it first before asking).
CG Level (Cryptogrithm Level/Yellow Line): PA level above = bullish, PA level below = bearish
CG Bands (Cryptogrithm Bands): This is similar to how bollingers work, you can use this the same was as bollinger bands. The only difference is that the CG bands are more strict with the upper and lower levels as it uses different calculations to hug the price tighter allowing it to be more reactive to drastic price changes (earlier signals for oversold/overbought).
CG Upper Band (Red Upper Line): Above this upper bound line means overbought.
CG Middle Band (Light Blue Line): If PA trades above this line, the current PA trend is bullish continuing in the uptrend. If PA trades below this line, the current PA trend is bearish continuing in the downtrend. This band should only be used for short-term trends.
CG Lower Band (Green Lower Line): Below this lower bound line means oversold.
What the CG Level (yellow line) tells you:
PA is trading above CG Level = Bullish
PA is trading below CG Level = Bearish
Distance between CG Level and price = Momentum
What this means is that the further away the price is from the CG Level, the greater the momentum of the current PA trend. An increasing gap between the CG Level and PA indicates the price's strength (momentum) towards the current upward/downward trend. Basically when the PA and CG Level diverge, it means that the momentum is increasing in the current trend and when they converge, the current trend is losing momentum and the direction of the PA trend may flip towards the other direction (momentum flip).
PA+CG Level Momentum:
To use the CG Level as a momentum indicator, you need to pay attention to how the price and the CG level are moving away/closer from each other:
PA + CG Level Diverges = Momentum Increasing
PA + CG Level Converges = Momentum Decreasing
Examples (kind of common sense, but just for clarity):
Case 1: Bullish Divergence (Bullish): The PA is ABOVE and trending AWAY above from the CG Level = very bullish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the upside and larger moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level)
Case 2: Bearish Convergence (Bearish): - The PA is ABOVE the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bearish, there is a possibility that the upward trend is ending. Look to start closing off long positions until case 1 (divergence) occurs again.
Case 3: Neutral - The PA is trading on the CG Level (no clear divergence or convergence between the PA and CG Level) = Indicates a back and forth (tug of war) between bears and bulls. Beware of choppy price patterns as the trend is undecisive until either supply/liquidity is dried out and a winner between bull/bear is chosen. This is a no trade zone, but do as you wish.
Case 4: Bearish Divergence (Bearish): The PA is BELOW and trending AWAY BELOW from the CG Level = very bearish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the downside and larger downward moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level).
Case 5: Bullish Convergence (Bullish): - The PA is BELOW the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bullish, there is a possibility that the downward trend is ending and a trend flip is occuring. Look to start closing off short positions until case 4 (divergence) occurs again.
CG Bands + CG Level: You can use the CG bands instead of the PA candles to get a cleaner interpretation of reading the momentum. I won't go into detail as this is pretty self-explanatory. It is the same explanation as PA+CG Level Momentum, but you are replacing the PA candles with the CG Bands for interpretation. So instead of the PA converging/diverging from the CG Level, the Upper and Lower Bound levels are converging/diverging from the CG level instead.
Convergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades inside the CG bands
Divergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades outside the CG bands
Bullish/Bearish depends on whether the CG Band is trading below or above the CG level. If CG Band is above the CG Level, this is bullish. If CG Band is below the CG level, this is bearish.
Crosses (PA or CG Band crosses with CG level): This typically indicates volatility is incoming.
There are MANY MANY MANY other ways to use this indicator that is not explained here and even other undiscovered methods. Use some common sense as to how this indicator works (it is a momentum indicator and volatility predictor). You can get pretty creative and apply your own methods / knowledge to it and look for patterns that occur. Feel free to comment and share what you came up with!
