Smart RSI MTF Matrix [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of trading trend signals, only to miss the bigger picture because you are focused on a single timeframe?
The Smart RSI MTF Matrix is the ultimate "Cockpit View" for momentum traders. Unlike chart overlays that can sometimes clutter your price action, this indicator organizes RSI conditions across 10 different timeframes simultaneously into a clean, separate Heatmap pane.
It monitors everything from the 5-minute chart all the way up to the 12-Month view , giving you a complete X-ray vision of the market's momentum structure instantly.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The Smart RSI MTF Matrix relies on a sophisticated hierarchy to deliver clear, actionable context:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: The script runs 10 independent RSI calculations in the background, organized in rows from bottom (Short Term) to top (Long Term).
Classic RSI Thresholds:
Overbought (> 70): Indicates price may be extended to the upside.
Oversold (< 30): Indicates price may be extended to the downside.
Smart Visibility System (The "Secret Sauce"): Not all signals are equal. A 5-minute signal is "noise" compared to a Yearly signal. This indicator automatically applies Transparency to differentiate importance. The visibility increases by 10% for each higher timeframe slot (Row).
🚦 How to Read the Matrix
The indicator plots dots in 10 stacked rows. The position and opacity tell you the direction and significance:
🟥 RED DOTS (Overbought Condition)
Trigger: RSI is above 70 on that specific timeframe.
Meaning: Potential bearish reversal or pullback.
🟩 GREEN DOTS (Oversold Condition)
Trigger: RSI is below 30 on that specific timeframe.
Meaning: Potential bullish reversal or bounce.
⚪ GRAY DOTS (Neutral)
Trigger: RSI is between 30 and 70.
Meaning: No extreme momentum present.
👻 TRANSPARENCY (Signal Strength)
The visibility of the dot tells you exactly which Timeframe (Row) is triggered. The higher the row, the more solid the color:
Faint (10-30% Visibility): Rows 1-3 (5m, 15m, 1h). Used for scalping entries.
Medium (40-60% Visibility): Rows 4-6 (4h, 1D, 1W). Used for swing trading context.
Solid (70-100% Visibility): Rows 7-10 (1M, 3M, 6M, 12M). Used for identifying major macro cycles.
Visual Elements
Structure: Row 1 (Bottom) represents the 5-minute timeframe. Row 10 (Top) represents the 12-Month timeframe.
Vertical Alignment: If you see a vertical column of Red or Green dots, it indicates Multi-Timeframe Confluence —a highly probable reversal point.
Key Benefit
The goal of the Smart RSI MTF Matrix is to keep your main chart clean while providing maximum information. You can instantly see if a short-term pullback (Faint Green Dot) is happening within a long-term uptrend (Solid Gray/Red Dot), allowing for precision entries.
Have fun :)

Smart RSI MTF [DotGain]Summary
Are you tired of constantly switching between timeframes to check the RSI, only to miss the bigger picture?
The Smart RSI MTF (Multi-Timeframe) is designed to solve this exact problem. It is a streamlined chart overlay that monitors RSI conditions across up to 10 different timeframes simultaneously —from the 1-minute chart all the way up to the Monthly view.
This indicator removes the need for multiple open tabs and declutters your analysis by plotting signals directly on your main chart using a smart "visual hierarchy" system based on transparency.
⚙️ Core Components and Logic
The Smart RSI MTF relies on a sophisticated 3-layer logic to deliver clear, actionable context:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: The script runs 10 independent RSI calculations in the background. It checks standard intervals (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to ensure you never miss a momentum extreme on any scale.
Classic RSI Thresholds:
Overbought (> 70): Indicates price may be extended to the upside.
Oversold (< 30): Indicates price may be extended to the downside.
Smart Visibility System (The "Secret Sauce"): Not all signals are equal. A 5-minute Overbought signal is "noise" compared to a Weekly Overbought signal. This indicator automatically applies Transparency to differentiate importance:
Minutes = High Transparency (Faint).
Hours = Medium Transparency.
Days/Weeks/Months = No Transparency (Solid/Bold).
🚦 How to Read the Indicator
The indicator plots shapes (Labels by default) directly above or below the candles. The appearance tells you the direction and the timeframe significance:
🟥 RED SIGNALS (Overbought Condition)
Trigger: RSI is above 70 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed above the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bearish reversal or pullback.
🟩 GREEN SIGNALS (Oversold Condition)
Trigger: RSI is below 30 on a specific timeframe.
Location: Placed below the candle bar.
Meaning: Potential bullish reversal or bounce.
👻 TRANSPARENCY (Signal Strength)
Faint/Ghostly: The signal comes from a lower timeframe (e.g., 5m, 15m). Use for scalping or entry timing.
Solid/Bright: The signal comes from a major timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Use for swing trading and identifying major market turns.
Visual Elements
Symbol Shapes: Fully customizable (Label, Diamond, Circle, Triangle, etc.) via settings.
Stacking: If multiple timeframes trigger at once, symbols will overlay, creating a visually denser and darker color, indicating Confluence .
Key Benefit
The goal of the Smart RSI MTF is to help traders instantly spot Confluence . When you see a faint short-term signal align with a solid long-term signal, you have identified a high-probability reversal zone without leaving your chart.
Have fun :)

VMMA Wave Edges [MTF]The VMMA Wave Edges is a multi-timeframe (MTF) overlay indicator that plots dynamic upper and lower edges formed by a band of Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMAs) of varying lengths. It computes N VWMAs with lengths increasing arithmetically from start_len by incr, then plots:The maximum of all VWMAs → Upper Edge
The minimum of all VWMAs → Lower Edge
These edges are calculated on a higher timeframe (mtf_tf) and projected onto the current chart, creating a smooth, volume-sensitive envelope that adapts to volatility and trend strength.Use & InterpretationFeature
Purpose
Upper Edge
Dynamic resistance zone; price often reacts when approaching or breaking above.
Lower Edge
Dynamic support zone; price tends to bounce or consolidate near it.
Edge Contraction
Low volatility → potential breakout setup.
Edge Expansion
High volatility → trend continuation or exhaustion.
MTF Projection
Avoids repainting & noise by using cleaner higher-timeframe data.
Trading ApplicationsMean ReversionBuy near Lower Edge, sell near Upper Edge (especially in ranging markets).
Breakout ConfirmationPrice closing above Upper Edge on MTF → bullish breakout.
Below Lower Edge → bearish.
Trend FilterIn uptrend: price above Upper Edge → strong momentum.
In downtrend: price below Lower Edge → strong bearish control.
Support/Resistance FlipBroken Upper Edge → becomes future support (and vice versa).
Performance-based Asset Weighting(MTF)**Performance-Based Asset Weighting (MTF/Symbol Free Setting)**
#### Overview
This indicator is a tool that visualizes the relative strength of performance (price change rate) as “weight (allocation ratio)” for **four user-defined stocks**.
By setting any specified past point in time as the baseline (where all symbols are equally weighted at 25%), it aims to provide an intuitive understanding of which symbols outperformed others and attracted capital, or underperformed and saw capital outflows.
**【Default Settings and Application Scenario: Pension Fund Rebalancing Analysis】**
The default settings reference the basic portfolio of Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), configuring four major asset classes: domestic equities, foreign equities, domestic bonds, and foreign bonds. It is known that when market fluctuations cause deviations from this equal-weighted ratio, rebalancing occurs to restore the original ratio (selling assets whose weight has increased and buying assets whose weight has decreased).
Analyzing using this default setting can serve as a reference point for considering **“whether rebalancing sales (or purchases) by pension funds and similar entities are likely to occur in the future.”**
**【Important: Usage Notes】**
The weights shown by this indicator are **theoretical reference values** calculated solely based on performance from the specified start date. Even if large investors conduct significant rebalancing (asset buying/selling) during the period, those transactions themselves are not reflected in this chart's calculations.
Therefore, please understand that the actual portfolio ratios may differ. **Use this solely as a rough guideline. **
#### Key Features
* **Freely configure the 4 assets for analysis:** You can freely set any 4 assets (stocks, indices, currencies, cryptocurrencies, etc.) you wish to compare via the settings screen.
* **Performance-based weight calculation:** Rather than simple price composition ratios, it calculates each asset's price change since the specified start date as a “performance index” and displays each asset's proportion of the total sum.
* **Freely set analysis start date:** You can set any desired starting point for analysis, such as “after the XX shock” or “after earnings announcements,” using the calendar.
* **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support:** Independently of the timeframe displayed on the chart, you can freely select the timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, daily) used by the indicator for calculations.
#### Calculation Principle
This indicator calculates weights in the following three steps:
1. **Obtaining the Base Price**
Obtain the closing price for each of the four stocks on the user-set “Start Date for Weight Calculation.” This becomes the **base price** for analysis.
2. **Calculating the Performance Index**
Divide the current price of each stock by the **base price** obtained in Step 1 to calculate the “Performance Index”.
`Performance Index = Current Price ÷ Base Date Price`
This quantifies how many times the current performance has increased compared to the base date performance, which is set to “1”.
3. **Calculating Weights**
Sum the “Performance Indexes” of the four stocks. Then, calculate the percentage contribution of each stock's Performance Index to this total sum and plot it on the chart.
`Weight (%) = (Individual Performance Index ÷ Total Performance Index of 4 Stocks) × 100`
Using this logic, on the analysis start date, all stocks' performance indices are set to “1”, so the weights start equally at 25%.
#### Usage
* **Application Example 1: Market Sentiment Analysis (Using Default Settings)**
Analyze using the default asset classes. By observing the relative strength between “Equities” and “Bonds”, you can assess whether the market is risk-on or risk-off.
* **Application Example 2: Sector/Theme Strength Analysis**
Configure settings for groups like “Top 4 semiconductor stocks” or “4 GAFAM stocks.” Setting the start date to the beginning of the year or earnings season allows you to instantly compare which stocks within the same sector are performing best.
* **Application Example 3: Cryptocurrency Power Map Analysis**
By setting major cryptocurrencies like “BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA,” you can analyze which currencies are attracting market capital.
**【About Legend Display】**
Due to Pine Script specification constraints, the legend on the chart will display fixed names: **“Stock 1” to “Stock 4”. **
Please note that the symbol you entered for “Symbol 1” in the settings corresponds to the “Symbol 1” line on the chart.
#### Settings
* **Symbol 1 to Symbol 4:** Set the four symbols you wish to analyze.
* **Timeframe for Calculation:** Select the timeframe the indicator references when calculating weights.
* **Start Date for Weight Calculation:** This serves as the base date for comparing performance.
#### Disclaimer
This script is solely a tool to assist with market analysis and does not recommend buying or selling any specific financial instruments. Please make all final investment decisions at your own discretion.

**Performance-based Asset Weighting（MTF・シンボル自由設定）**
#### 概要
このインジケーターは、**ユーザーが自由に設定した4つの銘柄**について、パフォーマンス（騰落率）の相対的な強さを「ウェイト（構成比率）」として可視化するツールです。
指定した過去の任意の時点を基準（全銘柄が均等な25%）として、そこからどの銘柄のパフォーマンスが他の銘柄を上回り、資金が向かっているのか、あるいは下回っているのかを直感的に把握することを目的としています。
**【デフォルト設定と活用シナリオ：年金基金のリバランス考察】**
デフォルト設定では、日本の年金積立金管理運用独立行政法人（GPIF）の基本ポートフォリオを参考に、主要4資産クラス（国内株式, 外国株式, 国内債券, 外国債券）が設定されています。市場の変動によってこの均等な比率に乖離が生じると、元の比率に戻すためのリバランス（比率が増えた資産を売り、減った資産を買う）が行われることが知られています。
このデフォルト設定で分析することで、**「今後、年金基金などによるリバランスの売り（買い）が発生する可能性があるか」を考察するための、一つの目安として利用できます。**
**【重要：利用上の注意点】**
このインジケーターが示すウェイトは、あくまで指定した開始日からのパフォーマンスのみを基に算出した**理論上の参考値**です。実際に大口投資家などが途中で大規模なリバランス（資産の売買）を行ったとしても、その取引自体はこのチャートの計算には反映されません。
そのため、実際のポートフォリオ比率とは異なる可能性があることをご理解の上、**あくまで大まかな目安としてご活用ください。**
#### 主な特徴
* **分析対象の4銘柄を自由に設定可能:** 設定画面から、比較したい4つの銘柄（株式、指数、為替、仮想通貨など）を自由に設定できます。
* **パフォーマンス基準のウェイト計算:** 単純な価格の構成比ではなく、指定した開始日からの各銘柄の騰落を「パフォーマンス指数」として算出し、その合計に占める各銘柄の割合を表示します。
* **分析開始日の自由な設定:** 「〇〇ショック後」「決算発表後」など、分析したい任意の時点をカレンダーから設定できます。
* **マルチタイムフレーム（MTF）対応:** チャートに表示している時間足とは別に、インジケーターが計算に使う時間足（1時間足、4時間足、日足など）を自由に選択できます。
#### 計算の原理
このインジケーターは、以下の3ステップでウェイトを算出しています。
1. **基準価格の取得**
ユーザーが設定した「ウェイト計算の開始日」における、4つの各銘柄の終値を取得し、これを分析の**基準価格**とします。
2. **パフォーマンス指数の算出**
現在の各銘柄の価格を、ステップ1で取得した**基準価格**で割ることで、「パフォーマンス指数」を算出します。
`パフォーマンス指数 = 現在の価格 ÷ 基準日の価格`
これにより、基準日のパフォーマンスを「1」とした場合、現在のパフォーマンスが何倍になっているかが数値化されます。
3. **ウェイトの算出**
4つの銘柄の「パフォーマンス指数」の合計値を算出します。そして、合計値に占める各銘柄のパフォーマンス指数の割合（%）を計算し、チャートに描画します。
`ウェイト (%) = (個別のパフォーマンス指数 ÷ 4銘柄のパフォーマンス指数の合計) × 100`
このロジックにより、分析開始日には全銘柄のパフォーマンス指数が「1」となるため、ウェイトは均等に25%からスタートします。
#### 使用方法
* **応用例1：市場のセンチメント分析（デフォルト設定利用）**
デフォルト設定の資産クラスで分析し、「株式」と「債券」の力関係を見ることで、市場がリスクオンなのかリスクオフなのかを判断する材料になります。
* **応用例2：セクター・テーマ別の強弱分析**
設定画面で、例えば「半導体関連の主要4銘柄」や「GAFAMの4銘柄」などを設定します。開始日を年初や決算時期に設定することで、同セクター内でどの銘柄が最もパフォーマンスが良いかを一目で比較できます。
* **応用例3：仮想通貨の勢力図分析**
「BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA」など、主要な仮想通貨を設定することで、市場の資金がどの通貨に向かっているのかを分析できます。
**【凡例の表示について】**
Pine Scriptの仕様上の制約により、チャート上の凡例は**「銘柄1」〜「銘柄4」という固定名で表示されます。**
お手数ですが、設定画面でご自身が「銘柄1」に入力したシンボルが、チャート上の「銘柄1」のラインに対応する、という形でご覧ください。
#### 設定項目
* **銘柄1〜銘柄4:** 分析したい4つのシンボルをそれぞれ設定します。
* **計算に使う時間足:** インジケーターがウェイトを計算する際に参照する時間足を選択します。
* **ウェイト計算の開始日:** パフォーマンスを比較する上での基準日となります。

⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.

Austin MTF EMA Entry PointsAustin MTF EMA Entry Points
Overview
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points is a custom TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability entry points by combining multiple time frame (MTF) analysis. It leverages exponential moving averages (EMAs) from the daily, 1-hour, and 15-minute charts to generate buy and sell signals that align with the overall trend.
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to trade in the direction of the broader daily trend.
Seek precise entry points on lower time frames (1H and 15M).
Prefer using EMAs as their main trend-following tool.
How It Works
Daily Trend Filter:
The indicator calculates the 50 EMA on the daily chart.
The daily EMA acts as the primary trend filter:
If the current price is above the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bullish.
If the current price is below the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bearish.
Lower Time Frame Entry Points:
The indicator calculates the 20 EMA on both the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (15M) time frames.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price aligns with the trend on all three time frames:
Buy Signal: Price is above the daily 50 EMA and also above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Sell Signal: Price is below the daily 50 EMA and also below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Visual and Alert Features:
Plot Lines:
The daily 50 EMA is plotted in yellow for easy identification of the main trend.
The 20 EMA from the 1H chart is plotted in blue, and the 15M chart's EMA is in purple for comparison.
Buy/Sell Markers:
Green "Up" arrows appear for buy signals.
Red "Down" arrows appear for sell signals.
Alerts:
Alerts notify users when a buy or sell signal is triggered, making it easier to act on trading opportunities in real-time.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify the Main Trend:
Check the relationship between the price and the daily 50 EMA (yellow line):
Only look for buy signals if the price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Only look for sell signals if the price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Wait for Lower Time Frame Alignment:
For a valid signal, ensure that the price is also above or below the 20 EMA (blue and purple lines) on both the 1H and 15M time frames:
This alignment confirms short-term momentum in the same direction as the daily trend.
Act on Signals:
Use the arrows as visual cues for entry points:
Enter long trades on green "Up" arrows.
Enter short trades on red "Down" arrows.
The alerts will notify you of these signals, so you don’t have to monitor the chart constantly.
Exit Strategy:
Use your preferred stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing stop strategy.
You can also exit trades if the price crosses back below/above the daily 50 EMA, signaling a potential reversal.
Use Cases
Swing Traders: Use the daily trend filter to trade in the direction of the dominant trend, while using 1H and 15M signals to fine-tune entries.
Day Traders: Leverage the 1H and 15M time frames to capitalize on short-term momentum while respecting the broader daily trend.
Position Traders: Monitor the indicator to determine potential reversals or significant alignment across time frames.
Customizable Inputs
The indicator includes the following inputs:
Daily EMA Length: Default is 50. Adjust this to change the length of the trend filter EMA.
Lower Time Frame EMA Length: Default is 20. Adjust this to change the short-term EMA for the 1H and 15M charts.
Time Frames: Hardcoded to "D", "60", and "15", but you can modify the script for different time frames if needed.
Example Scenarios
Buy Signal:
Price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A green "Up" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Sell Signal:
Price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A red "Down" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
Aligns trades with the higher time frame trend for increased probability.
Uses multiple time frame analysis to identify precise entry points.
Visual signals and alerts make it easy to use in real-time.

Momentum Trend Fusion (MTF)The Momentum Trend Fusion (MTF) is a composite indicator that combines the Awesome Oscillator and the Relative Strength Index to provide a unique perspective on market momentum and trend strength. The MTF is calculated by first running the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and then applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the RSI value. The MTF is designed to help traders detect market phases and confirm trend direction by analyzing the cross of the EMA and RSI, as well as divergences between the AO and price. The MTF can be customized by the user by providing the lengths of the RSI and EMA calculations, making it an ideal tool for traders with different time frames and risk tolerances.
Parabolic SAR Heikin Ashi MTF Candle ScalperThis is scalper strategy designed around parabolic sar indicator, where as an input candle value it uses the heikinashi from a higher timeframe.
This example has been adapted to SPY/SPX chart
In this case ,we are using a 5 min chart, but the calculations are made on a 15 min heikin ashi chart for the PSAR and then on 5 min chart we plot the results.
At the same time we are conditioning the entry to be base on a time/session for daytrading/scalper mentality
In this case we only enter within the first 30 min of SPY opening session , and then we exit after 3-4 hours of staying in the position ( unless we hit a reverse condition).
For long condition we enter when the mtf ha candle close is above the mtf psar and for short condition we enter when the mtf ha candle close is below the mtf psar
This script is made with an educational purpose to show the power of multiple time frame approach compared to a single chart.
If you have any questions, let me know !
WaveTrend mtfThis is based on Lazy Bear famous script of Wave trend
So in basic we do MTF on it
One can choose to use the signal of the MTF (circles red or green for buy and sell)
or the regular buy and sell by cross green /red
to the script one can add if it cross the 0 above or bellow (not done here)
the MTF is taken from pinescripter example how to avoid repainting , so it good also for using your indicator to make MTF scripts
alerts included
lazy weis MTFSo here was my problem and the way we fix it . We all know lazy bear weis model of volume . if we make it to MTF then we use security and it will repaint all over . since its hard to convert it to version 3 in order to fix the problem ,then it was impossible so far to make it a good MTF model.
By changing the length to time function we do not need to use the security and by this we can create an MTF model with no repaint ( i hope).
Now in setting you see int2 (now its on 60 min) , this you can change to any min value that you want. TV will consider it as length and not as time and by this way you can manipulate it to be an MTF model of your choosing . The int1 is minimum min always need to be smaller then int2
lets say you want 5 min chart and on 10 min time frame. so set it as int1=1 and int=15. if you want 45 min frame on the 5 min so set int 2 to 45
if you want it to be daily just set it to 1440 ,
I hope you like this solution
Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF)
# Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF)
## Overview
The **Unmitigated High Low (Day/MTF)** indicator tracks previous timeframe highs and lows that remain "unmitigated" (untouched by price) and displays them as dynamic support and resistance levels. By default, the indicator monitors daily highs and lows, making it ideal for intraday traders seeking key institutional levels, though it supports any multi-timeframe (MTF) interval. The indicator extends horizontal lines from each level until price touches them, creating visual "zones of interest" where price action may react.
## What It Does
This indicator identifies and plots two types of levels on your chart:
- **High Levels** (yellow lines) - Previous timeframe highs that price has not yet reached or exceeded
- **Low Levels** (cyan lines) - Previous timeframe lows that price has not yet broken below
Each time a new timeframe period completes (e.g., daily candle closes), the indicator captures that period's high and low and extends them forward as horizontal reference lines. When price finally touches or crosses these levels, they become "mitigated" - the line stops extending, becomes transparent (60% opacity), and is marked as historical.
## Key Features
**Multi-Timeframe Capability**: While defaulting to daily ("D") timeframe, you can switch to any interval (15-minute, 4-hour, weekly, etc.) to match your trading style.
**Band Visualization**: The indicator creates colored bands between the two most recent active levels in each direction - an upper band (purple fill) between the 1st and 2nd unmitigated highs, and a lower band (cyan fill) between the 1st and 2nd unmitigated lows.
**Visual Clarity**: Active unmitigated levels display in full color with customizable line width (default: 2), while mitigated levels fade to 60% transparency, helping you distinguish between current zones and historical references.
## How to Use It
Add the indicator to your chart and observe where unmitigated levels cluster - these zones often act as magnets for institutional order flow. The most recent unmitigated high represents overhead supply/resistance, while the most recent unmitigated low represents underlying demand/support. Traders commonly use these levels for:
- Entry zones when price approaches unmitigated levels with confluent signals
- Stop-loss placement beyond unmitigated levels to avoid institutional sweeps
- Profit targets at the next unmitigated level in the direction of your trade
- Breakout confirmation when price finally mitigates a long-standing level
The colored bands between the 1st and 2nd levels highlight "zones of friction" where price may consolidate or reverse before continuing its trend.
## Settings
**HL interval**: Select your desired timeframe (default: "D" for daily)
**High Line Color**: Color for unmitigated high levels (default: yellow #fff176)
**Low Line Color**: Color for unmitigated low levels (default: cyan #00bcd4)
**Upper Band Fill**: Fill color between 1st and 2nd highs (default: purple #880e4f at 85% transparency)
**Lower Band Fill**: Fill color between 1st and 2nd lows (default: cyan #00bcd4 at 85% transparency)
**Line Width**: Thickness of level lines (default: 2, range: 1-5)
QFT MTF Range DetectorQFT MTF Range Detector — QuantumFlowTrader
Description:
The QFT MTF Range Detector is a multi-timeframe (MTF) tool designed to identify consolidation zones or ranging conditions across multiple intraday timeframes — from 1 minute up to 4 hours. This indicator is optimized for high-frequency trading environments such as scalping and day trading.
How it works:
For each selected timeframe, the indicator evaluates five key technical conditions:
- Low ADX (less than 17) – suggesting weak trend strength.
- Range width within a specific normalized threshold.
- Normalized ATR (volatility filter) in a defined range.
- RSI near the neutral zone (40–60) with low volatility.
- Price proximity to the mid-range (consolidation center).
Each condition contributes a score. If at least 3 out of 5 conditions are met, that timeframe is considered to be in a range (consolidation).
Visual output:
A compact table is displayed on the chart showing all selected timeframes:
Black box = Timeframe is in a range (consolidation).
Purple box = Not in a range (likely trending or volatile).
Timeframes are labeled (e.g., "4H", "15M") for clarity.
Customization:
Choose display corner (top/bottom, left/right).
Enable or disable table borders.
Set custom colors for range and non-range signals.
Use case:
Traders can quickly assess which timeframes are in a range, helping them:
Avoid choppy markets,
Time entries and exits better,
Confirm multi-timeframe alignment.
Note: This is not a buy/sell signal indicator. It is a market condition filter to enhance decision-making.
[CT] Kurutoga MTF HistogramWhat is Kurutoga MTF Histogram?
The Kurutoga MTF Histogram is a multi-time-frame momentum and mean-deviation tool.
It measures how far the current close is trading away from a rolling midpoint of price and then displays that deviation as a color-coded histogram.
Instead of looking only at one lookback, this version plots three Kurutoga “leads” at the same time:
Kurutoga Lead (x1) – base length
Kurutoga Lead 2x – slower, 2 × base length
Kurutoga Lead 4x – slowest, 4 × base length
Each lead is calculated both on the chart’s timeframe (LTF) and on a Higher Time Frame (HTF) of your choice, so you can see short-term deviation inside a higher-time-frame structure.
4-color Kurutoga scheme
Each Kurutoga lead uses a 4-color MACD-style scheme:
For a given lead:
Up Light – divergence ≥ 0 and rising compared to the previous bar
Up Dark – divergence ≥ 0 and falling (positive but losing momentum)
Down Light – divergence < 0 and falling (bearish momentum increasing)
Down Dark – divergence < 0 and rising (negative but contracting)
By default the same four teal / red hues are shared across x1, x2, and x4. The only difference between the leads is transparency:
x1 = strongest (least transparent)
x2 = medium opacity
x4 = faintest
This lets you see all three layers at once without the chart becoming a solid block of color.
The HTF areas use the same palette but with an extra transparency offset applied, so they appear as soft background bands rather than competing with the histograms.
Inputs and how to use them
1. Base Length
Defines the lookback for the main Kurutoga Lead.
The script automatically creates:
len1 = baseLength
len2 = baseLength × 2
len3 = baseLength × 4
Smaller base lengths → faster, more reactive histograms.
Larger base lengths → smoother, trend-focused behavior.
2. Higher Time Frame
This is the HTF used for the area plots and HTF midpoints.
Examples:
5-minute chart with HTF = 30 or 60 minutes
15-minute chart with HTF = 4H or 1D
The idea is to trade on the lower timeframe while seeing how far price is stretched relative to a higher-time-frame range midpoint.
3. Show / Hide toggles
Under “Show / Hide” you can independently turn on/off:
Kurutoga Lead (x1)
Kurutoga Lead 2x
Kurutoga Lead 4x
HTF Lead, HTF Lead 2x, HTF Lead 4x
This lets you:
Run only a single Kurutoga if you want a clean panel, or
Stack multiple leads for a “multi-speed” view of extension and mean reversion.
4. Color Scheme (4-color Kurutoga)
Up Light / Up Dark / Down Light / Down Dark – base hues used for every lead.
Lead opacity (x1, 2x, 4x) – sets how strong or faint each lead appears.
x1 is usually your primary “trading speed.”
x2 and x4 can be faded so they act as context.
Extra transparency for HTF areas – additional opacity applied on top of each lead’s opacity when drawing HTF areas. This keeps the HTF layer subtle.
You can fine-tune the exact teal/red values here to match your personal palette.
Practical reading & trade ideas
Trend alignment
When all three Kurutoga leads (x1, 2x, 4x) are above zero, price is trading above its rolling mid-range on multiple speeds → bullish environment.
When all three are below zero, you have a multi-speed bearish environment.
Mixed readings (e.g., x1 above zero, x4 below zero) can signal transition or mean-reversion areas.
Momentum vs exhaustion
Up Light / Down Light (light colors) show momentum expanding in that direction.
Up Dark / Down Dark (dark colors) show momentum contracting – price still on that side of zero, but the push is weakening.
After a run of Up Light bars, a shift to Up Dark may hint at a stall or pullback.
After a run of Down Light bars, a shift to Down Dark may hint at short covering / bounce potential.
Multi-time-frame confluence
Use the HTF areas as a backdrop:
If LTF Kurutoga leads are above zero while the HTF area is also positive (and ideally expanding), that’s strong bullish alignment.
If LTF leads are trying to flip up while HTF divergence is still deeply negative, you may be looking at a counter-trend bounce rather than a true trend change.
Example setups
Trend-following entries:
Look for x2 & x4 leads on the same side of zero as the HTF area, then use x1 color shifts (from Down Dark → Up Light or vice versa) to fine-tune entries in the direction of that higher-time-frame bias.
Mean-reversion fades:
Watch for extreme Kurutoga values where x1/x2 are strongly extended beyond zero while color flips from Light to Dark (momentum stalling) against an opposing HTF backdrop .
Notes
The indicator is non-directional by itself – it measures distance from a rolling midpoint rather than trend structure or order flow. It works best when combined with your existing price action/trend tools (moving averages, HLBO, structure zones, etc.).
Because HTF values are brought down via request.security, choose HTF settings that make sense for your product and session (for example, don’t use very high HTFs on thin intraday markets).
Use the Kurutoga MTF Histogram as a visual scanner for extension, momentum regime, and multi-speed alignment, then layer your own entry/exit rules on top.
Turtle System 1 (20/10) + N-Stop + MTF Table V7.2🐢 Description: Turtle System 1 (20/10) IndicatorThis indicator implements the original trading signals of the Turtle Trading System 1 based on the classic Donchian Channels. It incorporates a historically correct, volatility-based Trailing Stop (N-Stop) and a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) status dashboard. The script is written in Pine Script v6, optimized for performance and reliability.📊 Core Logic and ParametersThe system is a pure trend-following model, utilizing the more widely known, conservative parameters of the Turtle System 1:FunctionParameterValueDescriptionEntry$\text{Donchian Breakout}$$\mathbf{20}$Buy/Sell upon breaking the 20-day High/Low.Exit (Turtle)$\text{Donchian Breakout}$$\mathbf{10}$Close the position upon breaking the 10-day Low/High.Volatility$\mathbf{N}$ (ATR Period)$\mathbf{20}$Calculation of market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR).Stop-LossMultiplier$\mathbf{2.0} BER:SETS the initial and Trailing Stop at $\mathbf{2N}$.🛠️ Key Technical Features1. Original Turtle Trailing Stop (Section 4)The stop-loss mechanism is implemented with the historically accurate Turtle Trailing Logic. The stop is not aggressively tied to the current candle's low/high, which often causes premature exits. Instead, the stop only trails in the direction of the trend, maximizing the previous stop price against the new calculated $\text{Close} \pm 2N$:$$\text{New Trailing Stop} = \text{max}(\text{Previous Stop}, \text{Close} \pm (2 \times N))$$2. Reliable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Status (Section 6)The indicator features a robust MTF status table.Purpose: It calculates and persistently stores the Turtle System 1 status (LONG=1, SHORT=-1, FLAT=0) for various timeframes (1H, 4H, 8H, 1D, and 1W).Method: It uses global var int variables combined with request.security(), ensuring the status is accurately maintained and updated across different bars and timeframes, providing a reliable higher-timeframe context.3. VisualizationsChannels: The 20-period (Entry) and 10-period (Exit) Donchian Channels are plotted.Stop Line: The dynamic $\mathbf{2N}$ Trailing Stop is visible as a distinct line.Signals: plotshape markers indicate Entry and Exit.MTF Table: A clean, color-coded status summary is displayed in the upper right corner.

The script was developed in Pine Script v6 and is optimized for performance and robustness.📊 Core Logic and ParametersThe indicator is based on the rule-based trend-following system developed by Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt, utilizing the more aggressive Entry/Exit parameters of System 2:FunctionParameterValueDescriptionEntry$\text{Donchian Breakout}$$\mathbf{55}$Buy/Sell upon breaking the 55-day High/Low.Exit (Turtle)$\text{Donchian Breakout}$$\mathbf{20}$Close the position upon breaking the 20-day Low/High.Volatility$\mathbf{N}$ (ATR Period)$\mathbf{20}$Calculation of market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR).Stop-LossMultiplier$\mathbf{2.0} BER:SETS the initial and Trailing Stop at $\mathbf{2N}$.🛠️ Technical Implementation1. Correct Trailing Stop (Section 4)In contrast to many flawed implementations, the Trailing Stop is implemented here according to the Original Turtle Logic. The stop price (current_stop_price) is not aggressively tied to the current low or high. Instead, at the close of each bar, it is only trailed in the direction of the trade (math.max for long positions) based on the formula:$$\text{New Trailing Stop} = \text{max}(\text{Previous Stop}, \text{Close} \pm (2 \times N))$$This ensures the stop is only adjusted upon sustained positive movement and is not prematurely triggered by short-term, deep price shadows.2. Reliable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Logic (Section 6)The MTF section utilizes global var int variables (mtf_status_1h, mtf_status_D, etc.) in conjunction with the request.security() function.Purpose: Calculates and persistently stores the current Turtle System 2 status (LONG=1, SHORT=-1, FLAT=0) for the timeframes 1H, 4H, 8H, 1D, and 1W.Advantage: By persistently storing the status using the var variables, the critical error of single-update status is eliminated. The states shown in the table are reliable and accurately reflect the Turtle System's position status on the respective timeframes.3. Visual ComponentsDonchian Channels: The entry (55-period) and exit (20-period) channels are drawn with color highlighting.N-Stop Line: The dynamically calculated Trailing Stop ($\mathbf{2N}$) is displayed as a magenta line.Visual Signals: plotshape markers indicate Entry and Exit points.MTF Table: A compact status summary with color coding (Green/Red/Gray) for the higher timeframes is displayed in the upper right corner.

## 🎯 What is a Pinbar?
A **Pinbar (Pin Bar/Pinocchio Bar)** is a single candlestick pattern that indicates a potential price reversal:
### Bullish Pinbar (BUY Signal)
- **Long lower wick** (rejection of lower prices)
- **Small body at the top** of the candle
- Shows buyers rejected sellers' attempt to push price down
- Forms at support levels or swing lows
- Entry signal for LONG positions
### Bearish Pinbar (SELL Signal)
- **Long upper wick** (rejection of higher prices)
- **Small body at the bottom** of the candle
- Shows sellers rejected buyers' attempt to push price up
- Forms at resistance levels or swing highs
- Entry signal for SHORT positions
---
## 🔧 How the Indicator Works
### 1. **Pinbar Detection Logic**
The indicator analyzes the **previous closed bar ** to identify pinbar patterns:
```
Bullish Pinbar Requirements:
- Lower wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Upper wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close > Open (bullish candle body)
Bearish Pinbar Requirements:
- Upper wick > 72% of total candle range (adjustable)
- Lower wick < 28% of total candle range
- Close < Open (bearish candle body)
```
**Why check ?** By analyzing the previous completed bar, we ensure the pattern is fully formed and won't change, preventing repainting.
---
### 2. **Three-Layer Filter System**
#### 🔍 **Filter #1: ATR (Average True Range) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Ensures the pinbar has significant size
- **Function**: Only signals if pinbar range ≥ ATR value
- **Benefit**: Filters out small, insignificant pinbars
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- ATR Period (default: 7)
**Example**: If ATR = 50 pips, only pinbars with 50+ pip range will signal.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #2: SWING Filter** (Always Active)
- **Purpose**: Confirms pinbar forms at swing highs/lows
- **Function**: Validates the pinbar is an absolute high/low
- **Benefit**: Identifies true reversal points
- **Settings**:
- Swing Candles (default: 3)
**How it works**:
- For bullish pinbar: Checks if low is lowest of past 3 bars
- For bearish pinbar: Checks if high is highest of past 3 bars
**Example**: With 3 swing candles, a bullish pinbar must have the lowest low among the last 3 bars.
---
#### 🔍 **Filter #3: RSI (Relative Strength Index) Filter**
- **Purpose**: Confirms momentum conditions
- **Function**: Prevents signals in extreme momentum zones
- **Benefit**: Avoids counter-trend trades
- **Settings**:
- Enable/Disable toggle
- RSI Period (default: 7)
- RSI Source (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4)
- Overbought Level (default: 70)
- Oversold Level (default: 30)
**Logic**:
- Bullish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI < 70 (not overbought)
- Bearish Pinbar: Only signals if RSI > 30 (not oversold)
---
### 3. **Stop Loss Calculation**
Two methods available:
#### Method A: ATR-Based Stop Loss (Recommended)
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (1 × ATR)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (1 × ATR)
```
**Benefit**: Dynamic stops that adapt to market volatility
#### Method B: Fixed Pips Stop Loss
```
Bullish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar Low - (Fixed Pips)
Bearish Pinbar:
SL = Pinbar High + (Fixed Pips)
```
**Settings**:
- Calculate Stop with ATR (toggle)
- Stop Pips without ATR (default: 5)
---
### 4. **Take Profit Calculation**
Take Profit is calculated based on Risk:Reward ratio:
```
Bullish Trade:
TP = Entry + (Entry - SL) × Risk:Reward Ratio
Bearish Trade:
TP = Entry - (SL - Entry) × Risk:Reward Ratio
```
**Example**:
- Entry: 1.2000
- SL: 1.1950 (50 pip risk)
- RR: 2:1
- TP: 1.2100 (100 pip reward = 50 × 2)
**Settings**:
- Risk:Reward Ratio (default: 1.0, range: 0.1 to 10.0)
---

## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture
### What is Repainting?
**Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy.
### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting
1. **Closed Bar Analysis**
- All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar)
- Only analyzes COMPLETED candles
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes
2. **Confirmed Swing Points**
- Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling
- Only checks historical bars that cannot change
- Prevents premature swing detection
3. **Static Alert Timing**
- Alerts fire only after bar completion
- No conditional logic that changes historically
- Same results in replay mode and live trading
### Verification Method
To verify non-repainting behavior:
1. Apply indicator to chart
2. Note signal locations and prices
3. Refresh browser / reload chart
4. **Signals remain in exact same locations**

## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Entry Rules
**For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):**
1. Wait for green triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
**For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):**
1. Wait for red triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
### Risk Management
- **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider)

## 🎓 Understanding the Filters
### Why Use Multiple Filters?
Single-indicator systems often generate too many false signals. This indicator uses a **confluence approach**:
1. **Pinbar Pattern** = Price rejection detected
2. **+ SWING Filter** = Rejection at key level
3. **+ ATR Filter** = Significant move
4. **+ RSI Filter** = Favorable momentum
**Result**: Higher probability setups with better risk:reward
### Filter Optimization
**Conservative Settings** (Fewer, Higher Quality Signals):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 5
- RSI Filter: ON
- Shadow %: 75%
**Aggressive Settings** (More Signals, More Noise):
- ATR Filter: OFF
- Swing Candles: 2
- RSI Filter: OFF
- Shadow %: 65%
**Balanced Settings** (Recommended):
- ATR Filter: ON
- Swing Candles: 3
- RSI Filter: OFF (or ON for trending markets)
- Shadow %: 72%
---
## 🔍 Troubleshooting
### "No Signals Appearing"
**Possible Causes:**
1. Filters are too strict
2. No pinbars forming on chart
3. Insufficient bar history
**Solutions:**
- Reduce Shadow % to 65%
- Reduce Swing Candles to 2
- Disable ATR or RSI filters temporarily
- Check that chart has enough data loaded
### "Too Many Signals"
**Solutions:**
- Enable ATR filter
- Increase Swing Candles to 4-5
- Enable RSI filter
- Increase Shadow % to 75-80%
### "Signals Appearing Late"
**This is normal behavior!** The indicator:
- Analyzes previous closed bar
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar
- This is what prevents repainting
- Signal latency is 1 bar (by design)

VWMA Series (Dynamic) mtf - Dual Gradient Colored"VWMA Series (Dynamic) mtf - Dual Gradient Colored" is a multi-timeframe (MTF) Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) ribbon indicator that plots up to 60 sequential VWMAs with arithmetic progression periods (e.g., 1, 4, 7, 10…). Each VWMA line is dual-gradient colored: Base hue = Greenish (#2dd204) if close > VWMA (bullish), Magenta (#ff00c8) if close < VWMA (bearish)
Brightness gradient = fades from base → white as period increases (short → long-term)
Uses daily resolution by default (timeframe="D"), making it ideal for higher-timeframe trend filtering on lower charts.Key FeaturesFeature

LA - EMA Bands with MTF DashboardDetailed Explanation of the LA - EMA Bands with MTF Dashboard Indicator
This custom Pine Script v6 indicator, designed for Trading View, overlays EMA-based price channels on the chart while incorporating a multi-timeframe (MTF) dashboard for broader market context. It focuses on visualizing trend direction and momentum through three sets of EMA bands, each representing different time horizons, and extends this with a tabular dashboard that summarizes signals across user-selected timeframes. The bands help identify support, resistance, and trend shifts, while the dashboard provides at-a-glance alignment across multiple periods, aiding in confirming trades or spotting divergences. Unlike volatility-based channels (e.g., Bollinger or Keltner), it relies solely on EMAs for simplicity and lag-reduced responsiveness.
Inputs Section
The script begins with user-configurable options grouped for ease. A timeframe input allows specifying a resolution for the EMA bands' data fetching, defaulting to the chart's timeframe if left empty—this enables higher-timeframe overlays on lower charts for context.
Next, a shared source input defines the price data for all midlines, defaulting to the midpoint of high and low (hl2) but customizable to close, open, or others.
The EMA bands have dedicated toggles and length inputs for each of the three sets: the first (long-term) defaults to 144 periods, the second (medium-term) to 72, and the third (short-term) to 12. These are inlined for compact settings panels, with minimum lengths of 1 to prevent errors.
A boolean toggle controls the visibility of the MTF dashboard. Following this are nine pairs of inputs for dashboard timeframes: each pair includes a show/hide toggle and an editable timeframe string (e.g., '1' for 1-minute, 'D' for daily). Defaults progress from short (1, 3, 5 minutes) to longer (15, 30, 60 minutes, daily, weekly, monthly), grouped in inlines for organization. Only enabled and non-empty timeframes appear in the dashboard.
Helpers Section
Two utility functions are defined here. The first computes an EMA on any source series over a specified length using Trading View's built-in function, reused throughout for midlines and bands.
The second function generates a signal string ("B" for buy/bullish, "S" for sell/bearish, or "-" for neutral) based on the direction of an EMA applied to high prices. It compares the current EMA value to the previous one, mirroring the band fill logic for consistency in the dashboard.
Core Components per Band Set:
Midline: An EMA calculated on a user-selectable source price (default: hl2, which is the midpoint between high and low prices). This acts as the central trend line.
Upper Band: An EMA applied directly to the high prices of each bar.
Lower Band: An EMA applied to the low prices of each bar.
These form a channel that captures the smoothed range of price action, highlighting potential support (lower band), resistance (upper band), and overall trend direction (midline).
Multiple Band Sets: The indicator includes three independent EMA band sets, each with its own length parameter for customization:
EMA1 (default length: 144) – Focuses on long-term trends.
EMA2 (default length: 72) – Targets medium-term trends.
EMA3 (default length: 12) – Emphasizes short-term momentum.
Each set can be toggled on or off via input checkboxes, allowing users to reduce chart clutter if needed.
Visual Elements:
Midline Plot: Displayed as a line colored based on its direction compared to the previous bar: green for rising (bullish), red for falling (bearish), and black for neutral (flat).
Band Fill: The area between the upper and lower bands is filled with a semi-transparent color indicating the trend of the upper band: light green for rising (suggesting expanding highs/upward momentum) and light pink for falling (contracting highs/downward pressure). The bands themselves are plotted in blue with a thin linewidth.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Users can input a custom timeframe (e.g., 'D' for daily), and the indicator fetches data from that resolution. This enables higher-timeframe context on lower-timeframe charts, such as viewing daily EMA bands on a 1-hour chart.
Calculation Mechanics:
All EMAs are computed using Trading View's built-in ta.ema() function.
Data is retrieved in a single request.security() call for efficiency, with lookahead enabled to avoid repainting.
No multipliers or volatility adjustments are included, making it a simple EMA-based envelope rather than a true volatility channel.
In practice, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength, potential breakouts (price crossing bands), or mean-reversion opportunities (price bouncing within bands). It's particularly useful for swing or position trading where multi-period alignment (e.g., all midlines green) signals conviction.
Pros
Multi-Period Insight: By combining short (12), medium (72), and long (144) periods, it offers a layered view of trends across time horizons, helping confirm alignments or divergences without needing multiple separate indicators.
Visual Clarity: Color-coded trends and fills make it easy to spot bullish/bearish shifts at a glance, reducing analysis time.
Flexibility: Custom timeframe input allows for multi-timeframe analysis, while shared source and toggles provide user control.
Simplicity and Efficiency: Purely EMA-based, it's computationally light and avoids overcomplication, making it accessible for beginners while still useful for spotting channel-based setups like squeezes or expansions.
No Repainting: With lookahead, plots are stable once bars close.
Cons
Lagging Nature: EMAs inherently lag price action, especially longer ones like 144-period, which may cause delayed signals in fast-moving or ranging markets.
Lack of Volatility Adjustment: Unlike Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands, it doesn't incorporate ATR or standard deviation, so bands may not accurately reflect true volatility—potentially leading to false breakouts in high-volatility environments.
Chart Clutter: Displaying all three band sets simultaneously can overcrowd the chart, particularly on lower timeframes or volatile assets.
Subjective Interpretation: Color changes and band interactions require trader discretion; there's no built-in alerting or quantitative signals, which might lead to inconsistent results.
Market Dependency: Defaults may not suit all assets (e.g., stocks vs. crypto); shorter periods like 12 could whipsaw in noisy markets, while 144 might be too slow for intraday trading.
Justification for Default Values (12, 72, and 144)
The default lengths of 12, 72, and 144 are not arbitrary but draw from established trading principles, particularly W.D. Gann's geometric and numerical theories, as well as Fibonacci sequences, to create a harmonic progression for short-, medium-, and long-term analysis. Here's the rationale:
12 (Short-Term): This is a common period for capturing recent momentum in technical indicators, often seen in setups like the MACD (which uses 12- and 26-day EMAs). It aligns with natural cycles, such as the 12 months in a year, and in Gann theory, 12 serves as a base unit for squaring price and time (e.g., in the "Square of 12" where multiples like 12, 24, etc., measure cycles in days, weeks, or months). At 12 periods, the EMA reacts quickly to price changes without excessive noise, making it ideal for short-term trend detection.
72 (Medium-Term): This acts as an intermediate bridge, derived from Gann's divisions of the 360-degree circle (a key Gann concept representing a full cycle). Specifically, 72 is 360/5 (relating to pentagonal geometry and natural harmonics) and appears in Gann's time cycle measurements (e.g., as a multiple in the Square of 12: 12×6=72). It's roughly half of 144, providing a balanced midpoint for medium-term trends without overlapping too closely with the others. In practice, 72 periods smooth out short-term fluctuations while still responding to developing trends.
144 (Long-Term): This is a powerhouse number in trading lore, being both 12 squared (12×12=144, central to Gann's "Square of 144" for monthly charts and major cycle turns, as there are 12 months in a year) and a Fibonacci sequence value (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...). Fibonacci periods are popular in moving averages for their alignment with natural growth patterns in markets, and 144 is often used for long-term regime definition (e.g., confirming trends over 144 bars). It helps identify major support/resistance in extended cycles.
Overall, these values form a geometric/harmonic series (12, 72=12×6, 144=12×12), promoting alignment with market cycles as per Gann and Fibonacci principles, rather than generic lengths like 50 or 200. They can be adjusted based on the asset or timeframe, but the defaults provide a starting point rooted in time-tested trading numerology for balanced multi-period analysis.
Please use this along with other indicators (eg. Pivot, MACD, etc) for better results.
Two Poles Trend Finder MTF [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Two Poles Trend Finder MTF is a refined trend-following overlay that blends a two-pole Gaussian filter with a multi-timeframe dashboard. It provides a smooth view of price dynamics along with a clear summary of trend directions across multiple timeframes—perfect for traders seeking alignment between short and long-term momentum.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Two-Pole Filter: A smoothing algorithm that responds faster than traditional moving averages but avoids the noise of short-term fluctuations.
var float f = na
var float f_prev1 = na
var float f_prev2 = na
// Apply two-pole Gaussian filter
if bar_index >= 2
f := math.pow(alpha, 2) * source + 2 * (1 - alpha) * f_prev1 - math.pow(1 - alpha, 2) * f_prev2
else
f := source // Warm-up for first bars
// Shift state
f_prev2 := f_prev1
f_prev1 := f
Trend Detection Logic: Trend direction is determined by comparing the current filtered value with its value n bars ago (shifted comparison).
MTF Alignment Dashboard: Trends from 5 configurable timeframes are monitored and visualized as colored boxes:
• Green = Uptrend
• Magenta = Downtrend
Summary Arrow: An average trend score from all timeframes is used to plot an overall arrow next to the asset name.
