MVRV Ratio Indicator [captainua]MVRV Ratio Indicator - Market Value to Realized Value Ratio
Overview
This professional indicator calculates and visualizes the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio (raw, non-Z-score) with optional MVRV-Z overlay, comparing current market capitalization to realized capitalization to help identify potential market tops and bottoms for cryptocurrency markets.
Unlike MVRV-Z which normalizes the ratio using standard deviation (creating a Z-score), the raw MVRV ratio provides direct comparison between market cap and realized cap. This indicator enhances the raw ratio with historical percentile bands, percentile rank calculation, divergence detection, historical event logging, dynamic color gradients, enhanced visualization options, optional MVRV-Z comparison, and NEW advanced metrics including Risk Score, MVRV Momentum, Time in Zone tracking, and Price Target calculations.
NEW Features in This Version:
• Risk Score (0-100): Composite indicator based on MVRV level and percentile rank for instant risk assessment
• MVRV Momentum: Rate of change indicator showing trend direction (↑ Increasing, ↓ Decreasing, → Flat)
• Time in Zone: Tracks how long MVRV has been in the current zone (top/bottom/neutral) in bars
• Price Targets: Calculates price levels at key MVRV thresholds (fair value, top, bottom)
• Input Validation: Warns about invalid parameter combinations (e.g., extreme thresholds out of order)
• Multiple Smoothing Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA for noise reduction
• Performance Optimized: Cached request.security() calls, ta.percentrank() for efficiency
• Human-Readable Timestamps: Event log now shows dates (YYYY-MM-DD) instead of bar indices
Core Calculations
MVRV Ratio Calculation:
The script calculates MVRV ratio using the standard formula: MVRV Ratio = Market Cap / Realized Cap. This formula provides a direct ratio without normalization, showing how many times the current market cap exceeds (or falls below) the realized cap.
Market Capitalization (Market Cap): The total market value of all coins in circulation, calculated as current price × circulating supply. This represents the market's current valuation of the asset.
Realized Capitalization (Realized Cap): The sum of the value of each coin when it last moved on-chain, representing the average cost basis of all coins.
Raw Ratio Interpretation:
- Ratio > 3.5: Extreme overvaluation (market cap significantly above realized cap)
- Ratio 2.5-3.5: Moderate overvaluation
- Ratio 1.0-2.5: Fair value to moderate overvaluation
- Ratio 0.8-1.0: Fair value to moderate undervaluation
- Ratio < 0.8: Undervaluation (market cap close to or below realized cap)
Risk Score (NEW):
Composite risk indicator ranging from 0-100:
- 80-100: Very High Risk (extreme overvaluation)
- 60-80: High Risk (overvaluation)
- 40-60: Moderate Risk (fair value range)
- 20-40: Low Risk (undervaluation)
- 0-20: Very Low Risk (extreme undervaluation)
The risk score uses percentile rank when available, or normalizes MVRV ratio to the 0-100 scale based on configured thresholds.
MVRV Momentum (NEW):
Rate of change indicator showing trend direction:
- ↑ Increasing: MVRV ratio rising (momentum > 0.01)
- ↓ Decreasing: MVRV ratio falling (momentum < -0.01)
- → Flat: MVRV ratio stable
- Displays percentage change over configurable period (default: 14 bars)
Time in Zone (NEW):
Tracks duration in current zone:
- Top Zone: Bars spent above top threshold (3.5)
- Bottom Zone: Bars spent below bottom threshold (0.8)
- Neutral Zone: Bars spent between thresholds
- Resets when zone changes
- Helps identify prolonged extreme conditions
Price Targets (NEW):
Calculates price levels at key MVRV thresholds:
- Price @ Fair Value: Price when MVRV = 1.0
- Price @ Top Threshold: Price when MVRV = 3.5
- Price @ Bottom Threshold: Price when MVRV = 0.8
- Based on estimated realized price (current price / MVRV ratio)
Data Source Selection:
The indicator supports multiple data source options for maximum flexibility:
Glassnode (Recommended):
- Uses Glassnode Market Cap data
- Calculates MVRV from Market Cap / Realized Cap
- Symbol format: GLASSNODE:{TOKEN}_MARKETCAP

- 50th Percentile: Median (fair value center)
- 75th Percentile: Upper quartile (overvaluation range)
- 95th Percentile: Very high historical values (extreme overvaluation range)
Percentile bands use ta.percentile_nearest_rank() for efficient calculation.
Percentile Rank:
Percentile rank shows where the current MVRV ratio sits in the historical distribution (0-100%):
- 0-25%: Bottom quartile (undervaluation)
- 25-50%: Lower half (moderate undervaluation to fair value)
- 50-75%: Upper half (fair value to moderate overvaluation)
- 75-100%: Top quartile (overvaluation)
Now uses efficient ta.percentrank() instead of array-based calculation.

Adaptive RSI [BOSWaves]Adaptive RSI - Percentile-Based Momentum Detection with Dynamic Regime Thresholds
Overview
Adaptive RSI is a self-calibrating momentum oscillator that identifies overbought and oversold conditions through historical percentile analysis, constructing dynamic threshold boundaries that adjust to evolving market volatility and momentum characteristics.
Instead of relying on traditional fixed RSI levels (30/70 or 20/80) or static overbought/oversold zones, regime detection, threshold placement, and signal generation are determined through rolling percentile calculation, smoothed momentum measurement, and divergence pattern recognition.
This creates adaptive boundaries that reflect actual momentum distribution rather than arbitrary fixed levels - tightening during low-volatility consolidation periods, widening during trending environments, and incorporating divergence analysis to reveal momentum exhaustion or continuation patterns.
Momentum is therefore evaluated relative to its own historical context rather than universal fixed thresholds.
Conceptual Framework
Adaptive RSI is founded on the principle that meaningful momentum extremes emerge relative to recent price behavior rather than at predetermined numerical levels.
Traditional RSI implementations identify overbought and oversold conditions using fixed thresholds that remain constant regardless of market regime, often generating premature signals in strong trends or missing reversals in range-bound markets. This framework replaces static threshold logic with percentile-driven adaptive boundaries informed by actual momentum distribution.
Three core principles guide the design:
Threshold placement should correspond to historical momentum percentiles, not fixed numerical levels.
Regime detection must adapt to current market volatility and momentum characteristics.
Divergence patterns reveal momentum exhaustion before price reversal becomes visible.
This shifts oscillator analysis from universal fixed levels into adaptive, context-aware regime boundaries.
Theoretical Foundation
The indicator combines smoothed RSI calculation, rolling percentile tracking, adaptive threshold construction, and multi-pattern divergence detection.
A Hull Moving Average (HMA) pre-smooths the price source to reduce noise before RSI computation, which then undergoes optional post-smoothing using configurable moving average types. Confirmed oscillator values populate a rolling historical buffer used for percentile calculation, establishing upper and lower thresholds that adapt to recent momentum distribution. Regime state persists until the oscillator crosses the opposing threshold, preventing whipsaw during consolidation. Pivot detection identifies swing highs and lows in both price and oscillator values, enabling regular divergence pattern recognition through comparative analysis.
Five internal systems operate in tandem:
Smoothed Momentum Engine : Computes HMA-preprocessed RSI with optional post-smoothing using multiple MA methodologies (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, LINREG, TEMA).
Historical Buffer Management : Maintains a rolling array of confirmed oscillator values for percentile calculation with configurable lookback depth.
Percentile Threshold Calculation : Determines upper and lower boundaries by extracting specified percentile values from sorted historical distribution.
Persistent Regime Detection : Establishes bullish/bearish/neutral states based on threshold crossings with state persistence between signals.
Divergence Pattern Recognition : Identifies regular bullish and bearish divergences through synchronized pivot analysis of price and oscillator values with configurable range filtering.
This design allows momentum interpretation to adapt to market conditions rather than reacting mechanically to universal thresholds.
How It Works
Adaptive RSI evaluates momentum through a sequence of self-calibrating processes:
Source Pre-Smoothing: Input price undergoes 4-period HMA smoothing to reduce bar-to-bar noise before oscillator calculation.
RSI Calculation: Standard RSI computation applied to smoothed source over configurable length period.
Optional Post-Smoothing: Raw RSI value undergoes additional smoothing using selected MA type and length for cleaner regime detection.
Historical Buffer Population: Confirmed oscillator values accumulate in a rolling array with size limit determined by adaptive lookback parameter.
Percentile Threshold Extraction: Array sorts on each bar to calculate upper percentile (bullish threshold) and lower percentile (bearish threshold) values.
Regime State Persistence: Bullish regime activates when oscillator crosses above upper threshold, bearish regime activates when crossing below lower threshold, neutral regime persists until directional threshold breach.
Pivot Identification: Swing highs and lows detected in both oscillator and price using configurable left/right parameters.
Divergence Pattern Matching: Compares pivot relationships between price and oscillator within min/max bar distance constraints to identify regular bullish (price LL, oscillator HL) and bearish (price HH, oscillator LH) divergences.
Together, these elements form a continuously updating momentum framework anchored in statistical context.
Interpretation
Adaptive RSI should be interpreted as context-aware momentum boundaries:
Bullish Regime (Blue): Activated when oscillator crosses above upper percentile threshold, indicating momentum strength relative to recent distribution favors upside continuation.
Bearish Regime (Red): Established when oscillator crosses below lower percentile threshold, identifying momentum weakness relative to recent distribution favors downside continuation.
Upper Threshold Line (Blue)**: Dynamic resistance level calculated from upper percentile of historical oscillator distribution - adapts higher during trending markets, lower during ranging conditions.
Lower Threshold Line (Red): Dynamic support level calculated from lower percentile of historical oscillator distribution - adapts lower during downtrends, higher during consolidation.
Regime Fill: Gradient coloring between oscillator and baseline (50) visualizes current momentum intensity - stronger color indicates greater distance from neutral.
Extreme Bands (15/85): Upper and lower extreme zones with strength-modulated transparency reveal momentum extremity - darker shading during powerful moves, lighter during moderate momentum.
Divergence Lines: Connect price and oscillator pivots when divergence pattern detected, appearing on both price chart and oscillator pane for confluence identification.
Reversal Markers (✦): Diamond signals appear at 80+ (bearish extreme) and sub-15 (bullish extreme) levels, marking potential exhaustion zones independent of regime state.
Percentile context, divergence confirmation, and regime persistence outweigh isolated oscillator readings.
Signal Logic & Visual Cues
Adaptive RSI presents four primary interaction signals:
Regime Switch - Long : Oscillator crosses above upper percentile threshold after previously being in bearish or neutral regime, suggesting momentum strength shift favoring bullish continuation.
Regime Switch - Short : Oscillator crosses below lower percentile threshold after previously being in bullish or neutral regime, indicating momentum weakness shift favoring bearish continuation.
Regular Bullish Divergence (𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥) : Price forms lower low while oscillator forms higher low, revealing positive momentum divergence during downtrends - often precedes reversal or consolidation.
Regular Bearish Divergence (𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫) : Price forms higher high while oscillator forms lower high, revealing negative momentum divergence during uptrends - often precedes reversal or correction.
Alert generation covers regime switches, threshold crossings, and divergence detection for systematic monitoring.
Strategy Integration
Adaptive RSI fits within momentum-informed and mean-reversion trading approaches:
Adaptive Regime Following : Use threshold crossings as primary trend inception signals where momentum confirms directional breakouts within statistical context.
Divergence-Based Reversals : Enter counter-trend positions when divergence patterns appear at extreme oscillator levels (above 80 or below 20) for high-probability mean-reversion setups.
Threshold-Aware Scaling : Recognize that tighter percentile spreads (e.g., 45/50) generate more signals suitable for ranging markets, while wider spreads (e.g., 30/70) filter for stronger trend confirmation.
Extreme Zone Confluence : Combine reversal markers (✦) with divergence signals for maximum-conviction exhaustion entries.
Multi-Timeframe Regime Alignment : Apply higher-timeframe regime context to filter lower-timeframe entries, taking only setups aligned with dominant momentum direction.
Smoothing Optimization : Increase smoothing length in choppy markets to reduce false signals, decrease in trending markets for faster response.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : HMA-preprocessed RSI with configurable smoothing (SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, LINREG, TEMA)
Adaptive Model : Rolling percentile calculation over confirmed oscillator values with size-limited historical buffer
Threshold Construction : Linear interpolation percentile extraction from sorted distribution array
Regime Detection : State-persistent threshold crossing logic with confirmed bar validation
Divergence Engine : Pivot-based pattern matching with range filtering and duplicate prevention
Visualization : Gradient-filled regime zones, adaptive threshold lines, strength-modulated extreme bands, dual-pane divergence lines
Performance Profile : Optimized for real-time execution with efficient array management and minimal computational overhead
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Micro-structure momentum detection for scalping and intraday reversals
15 - 60 min : Intraday regime identification with divergence-validated turning points
4H - Daily : Swing and position-level momentum analysis with macro divergence context
Suggested Baseline Configuration:
RSI Length : 18
Source : Close
Smooth Oscillator : Enabled
Smoothing Length : 20
Smoothing Type : SMA
Adaptive Lookback : 1000
Upper Percentile : 50
Lower Percentile : 45
Divergence Pivot Left : 15
Divergence Pivot Right : 15
Min Pivot Distance : 5
Max Pivot Distance : 60
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset's volatility profile, momentum characteristics, and preferred signal frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Parameter Calibration Notes
Use the following adjustments to refine behavior without altering the core logic:
Too many whipsaw signals : Widen percentile spread (e.g., 40/60 instead of 45/50) to demand stronger momentum confirmation, or increase "Smoothing Length" to filter noise.
Missing legitimate regime changes : Tighten percentile spread (e.g., 48/52 instead of 45/50) for earlier detection, or decrease "Smoothing Length" for faster response.
Oscillator too choppy : Increase "Smoothing Length" for cleaner readings, or switch "Smoothing Type" to RMA/TEMA for heavier smoothing.
Thresholds not adapting properly : Reduce "Adaptive Lookback" to emphasize recent behavior (500-800 bars), or increase it for more stable thresholds (1500-2000 bars).
Too many divergence signals : Increase "Pivot Left/Right" values to demand stronger swing confirmation, or widen "Min Pivot Distance" to space out detections.
Missing significant divergences : Decrease "Pivot Left/Right" for faster pivot detection, or increase "Max Pivot Distance" to compare more distant swings.
Prefer different momentum sensitivity : Adjust "RSI Length" - lower values (10-14) for aggressive response, higher values (21-28) for smoother trend confirmation.
Divergences appearing too late : Reduce "Pivot Right" parameter to detect divergences closer to current price action.
Adjustments should be incremental and evaluated across multiple session types rather than isolated market conditions.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets with mean-reverting characteristics and consistent momentum cycles
Instruments where momentum extremes reliably precede reversals or consolidations
Ranging environments where percentile-based thresholds adapt to volatility contraction
Divergence-driven strategies targeting momentum exhaustion before price confirmation
Reduced Effectiveness:
Extremely strong trending markets where oscillator remains persistently extreme
Low-liquidity environments with erratic momentum readings
News-driven or gapped markets where momentum disconnects from price temporarily
Markets with regime shifts faster than adaptive lookback can recalibrate
Integration Guidelines
Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves structure, volume analysis, or traditional support/resistance
Threshold Respect : Trust signals that occur after clean threshold crossings with sustained momentum
Divergence Context : Prioritize divergences appearing at extreme oscillator levels (80+/15-) over those in neutral zones
Regime Awareness : Consider whether current market regime matches historical momentum patterns used for calibration
Multi-Pattern Confirmation : Seek divergence patterns coinciding with reversal markers or threshold rejections for maximum conviction
Disclaimer
Adaptive RSI is a professional-grade momentum and divergence analysis tool. It uses percentile-based threshold calculation that adapts to recent market behavior but cannot predict future regime shifts or guarantee reversal timing. Results depend on market conditions, parameter selection, lookback period appropriateness, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends deploying this indicator within a broader analytical framework that incorporates price structure, volume context, and comprehensive risk management.
Open Interest Z-Score [BackQuant]Open Interest Z-Score
A standardized pressure gauge for futures positioning that turns multi venue open interest into a Z score, so you can see how extreme current positioning is relative to its own history and where leverage is stretched, decompressing, or quietly re loading.
What this is
This indicator builds a single synthetic open interest series by aggregating futures OI across major derivatives venues, then standardises that aggregated OI into a rolling Z score. Instead of looking at raw OI or a simple change, you get a normalized signal that says "how many standard deviations away from normal is positioning right now", with optional smoothing, reference bands, and divergence detection against price.
You can render the Z score in several plotting modes:
Line for a clean, classic oscillator.
Colored line that encodes both sign and momentum of OI Z.
Oscillator histogram that makes impulses and compressions obvious.
The script also includes:
Aggregated open interest across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, and Deribit, using multiple contract suffixes where applicable.
Choice of OI units, either coin based or converted to USD notional.
Standard deviation reference lines and adaptive extreme bands.
A flexible smoothing layer with multiple moving average types.
Automatic detection of regular and hidden divergences between price and OI Z.
Alerts for zero line and ±2 sigma crosses.
Aggregated open interest source
At the core is the same multi venue OI aggregation engine as in the OI RSI tool, adapted from NoveltyTrade's work and extended for this use case. The indicator:
Anchors on the current chart symbol and its base currency.
Loops over a set of exchanges, gated by user toggles:
Binance.
Bybit.
OKX.
Bitget.
Kraken.
HTX.
Deribit.
For each exchange, loops over several contract suffixes such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM to cover the common perp and margin styles.
Requests OI candles for each exchange plus suffix pair into a small custom OI type that carries open, high, low and close of open interest.
Converts each OI stream into a common unit via the sw method:
In COIN mode, OI is normalized relative to the coin.
In USD mode, OI is scaled by price to approximate notional.
Exchange specific scaling factors are applied where needed to match contract multipliers.
Accumulates all valid OI candles into a single combined OI "candle" by summing open, high, low and close across venues.
The result is oiClose , a synthetic close for aggregated OI that represents cross venue positioning. If there is no valid OI data for the symbol after this process, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know the market is unsupported rather than quietly plotting nonsense.
How the Z score is computed
Once the aggregated OI close is available, the indicator computes a rolling Z score over a configurable lookback:
Define subject as the aggregated OI close.
Compute a rolling mean of this subject with EMA over Z Score Lookback Period .
Compute a rolling standard deviation over the same length.
Subtract the mean from the current OI and divide by the standard deviation.
This gives a raw Z score:
oi_z_raw = (subject − mean) ÷ stdDev .
Instead of plotting this raw value directly, the script passes it through a smoothing layer:
You pick a Smoothing Type and Smoothing Period .
Choices include SMA, HMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, RMA, linear regression, ALMA, TEMA, and T3.
The helper ma function applies the chosen smoother to the raw Z score.
The result is oi_z , a smoothed Z score of aggregated open interest. A separate EMA with EMA Period is then applied on oi_z to create a signal line ma that can be used for crossovers and trend reads.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how this Z score is rendered:
1) Line
In line mode:
The smoothed OI Z score is plotted as a single line using Base Line Color .
The EMA overlay is optionally plotted if Show EMA is enabled.
This is the cleanest view when you want to treat OI Z like a standard oscillator, watching for zero line crosses, swings, and divergences.
2) Colored Line
Colored line mode adds conditional color logic to the Z score:
If the Z score is above zero and rising, it is bright green, representing positive and strengthening positioning pressure.
If the Z score is above zero and falling, it shifts to a cooler cyan, representing positive but weakening pressure.
If the Z score is below zero and falling, it is bright red, representing negative and strengthening pressure (growing net de risking or shorting).
If the Z score is below zero and rising, it is dark red, representing negative but recovering pressure.
This mapping makes it easy to see not only whether OI is above or below its historical mean, but also whether that deviation is intensifying or fading.
3) Oscillator
Oscillator mode turns the Z score into a histogram:
The smoothed Z score is plotted as vertical columns around zero.
Column colors use the same conditional palette as colored line mode, based on sign and change direction.
The histogram base is zero, so bars extend up into positive Z and down into negative Z.
Oscillator mode is useful when you care about impulses in positioning, for example sharp jumps into positive Z that coincide with fast builds in leverage, or deep spikes into negative Z that show aggressive flushes.
4) None
If you only want reference lines, extreme bands, divergences, or alerts without the base oscillator, you can set plotting to None and keep the rest of the tooling active.
The EMA overlay respects plotting mode and only appears when a visible Z score line or histogram is present.
Reference lines and standard deviation levels
The Select Reference Lines input offers two styles:
Standard Deviation Levels
Plots small markers at zero.
Draws thin horizontal lines at +1, +2, −1 and −2 Z.
Acts like a classic Z score ladder, zero as mean, ±1 as normal band, ±2 as outer band.
This mode is ideal if you want a textbook statistical framing, using ±1 and ±2 sigma as standard levels for "normal" versus "extended" positioning.
Extreme Bands
Extreme bands build on the same ±1 and ±2 lines, then add:
Upper outer band between +3 and +4 Z.
Lower outer band between −3 and −4 Z.
Dynamic fill colors inside these bands:
If the Z score is positive, the upper band fill turns red with an alpha that scales with the magnitude of |Z|, capped at a chosen max strength. Stronger deviations towards +4 produce more opaque red fills.
If the Z score is negative, the lower band fill turns green with the same adaptive alpha logic, highlighting deep negative deviations.
Opposite side bands remain a faint neutral white when not in use, so they still provide structural context without shouting.
This creates a visual "danger zone" for position crowding. When the Z score enters these outer bands, open interest is many standard deviations away from its mean and you are dealing with rare but highly loaded positioning states.
Z score as a positioning pressure gauge
Because this is a Z score of aggregated open interest, it measures how unusual current positioning is relative to its own recent history, not just whether OI is rising or falling:
Z near zero means total OI is roughly in line with normal conditions for your lookback window.
Positive Z means OI is above its recent mean. The further above zero, the more "crowded" or extended positioning is.
Negative Z means OI is below its recent mean. Deep negatives often mark post flush environments where leverage has been cleared and the market is under positioned.
The smoothing options help control how much noise you want in the signal:
Short Z score lookback and short smoothing will react quickly, suited for short term traders watching intraday positioning shocks.
Longer Z score lookback with smoother MA types (EMA, RMA, T3) give a slower, more structural view of where the crowd sits over days to weeks.
Divergences between price and OI Z
The indicator includes automatic divergence detection on the Z score versus price, using pivot highs and lows:
You configure Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right to control swing sensitivity.
Pivots are detected on the OI Z series.
For each eligible pivot, the script compares OI Z and price at the last two pivots.
It looks for four patterns:
Regular Bullish – price makes a lower low, OI Z makes a higher low. This can indicate selling exhaustion in positioning even as price washes out. These are marked with a line and a label "ℝ" below the oscillator, in the bullish color.
Hidden Bullish – price makes a higher low, OI Z makes a lower low. This suggests continuation potential where price holds up while positioning resets. Marked with "ℍ" in the bullish color.
Regular Bearish – price makes a higher high, OI Z makes a lower high. This is a classic warning sign of trend exhaustion, where price pushes higher while OI Z fails to confirm. Marked with "ℝ" in the bearish color.
Hidden Bearish – price makes a lower high, OI Z makes a higher high. This is often seen in pullbacks within downtrends, where price retraces but positioning stretches again in the direction of the prevailing move. Marked with "ℍ" in the bearish color.
Each divergence type can be toggled globally via Show Detected Divergences . Internally, the script restricts how far back it will connect pivots, so you do not get stray signals linking very old structures to current bars.
Trading applications
Crowding and squeeze risk
Z scores are a natural way to talk about crowding:
High positive Z in aggregated OI means the market is running high leverage compared to its own norm. If price is also extended, the risk of a squeeze or sharp unwind rises.
Deep negative Z means leverage has been cleaned out. While it can be painful to sit through, this environment often sets up cleaner new trends, since there is less one sided positioning to unwind.
The extreme bands at ±3 to ±4 highlight the rare states where crowding is most intense. You can treat these events as regime markers rather than day to day noise.
Trend confirmation and fade selection
Combine Z score with price and trend:
Bull trends with positive and rising Z are supported by fresh leverage, usually more persistent.
Bull trends with flat or falling Z while price keeps grinding up can be more fragile. Divergences and extreme bands can help identify which edges you do not want to fade and which you might.
In downtrends, deep negative Z that stays pinned can mean persistent de risking. Once the Z score starts to mean revert back toward zero, it can mark the early stages of stabilization.
Event and liquidation context
Around major events, you often see:
Rapid spikes in Z as traders rush to position.
Reversal and overshoot as liquidations and forced de risking clear the book.
A move from positive extremes through zero into negative extremes as the market transitions from crowded to under exposed.
The Z score makes that path obvious, especially in oscillator mode, where you see a block of high positive bars before the crash, then a slab of deep negative bars after the flush.

Notes
This indicator does not rely on price based oscillators. It is a statistical lens on cross venue open interest, which makes it a complementary tool rather than a replacement for your existing price or volume signals. Use it to:
Quantify how unusual current futures positioning is compared to recent history.
Identify crowded leverage phases that can fuel squeezes.
Spot structural divergences between price and positioning.
Frame risk and opportunity around events and regime shifts.
It is not a complete trading system. Combine it with your own entries, exits and risk rules to get the most out of what the Z score is telling you about positioning pressure under the hood of the market.
Ultimate RSI [captainua]Ultimate RSI
Overview
This indicator combines multiple RSI calculations with volume analysis, divergence detection, and trend filtering to provide a comprehensive RSI-based trading system. The script calculates RSI using three different periods (6, 14, 24) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
The script includes optimized configuration presets for instant setup: Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Position Trading. Simply select a preset to instantly configure all settings for your trading style, or use Custom mode for full manual control. All settings include automatic input validation to prevent configuration errors and ensure optimal performance.
Configuration Presets
The script includes preset configurations optimized for different trading styles, allowing you to instantly configure the indicator for your preferred trading approach. Simply select a preset from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown menu:
- Scalping: Optimized for fast-paced trading with shorter RSI periods (4, 7, 9) and minimal smoothing. Noise reduction is automatically disabled, and momentum confirmation is disabled to allow faster signal generation. Designed for quick entries and exits in volatile markets.
- Day Trading: Balanced configuration for intraday trading with moderate RSI periods (6, 9, 14) and light smoothing. Momentum confirmation is enabled for better signal quality. Ideal for day trading strategies requiring timely but accurate signals.
- Swing Trading: Configured for medium-term positions with standard RSI periods (14, 14, 21) and moderate smoothing. Provides smoother signals suitable for swing trading timeframes. All noise reduction features remain active.
- Position Trading: Optimized for longer-term trades with extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) and heavier smoothing. Filters are configured for highest-quality signals. Best for position traders holding trades over multiple days or weeks.
- Custom: Full manual control over all settings. All input parameters are available for complete customization. This is the default mode and maintains full backward compatibility with previous versions.
When a preset is selected, it automatically adjusts RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings to match the trading style. The preset configurations ensure optimal settings are applied instantly, eliminating the need for manual configuration. All settings can still be manually overridden if needed, providing flexibility while maintaining ease of use.
Input Validation and Error Prevention
The script includes comprehensive input validation to prevent configuration errors:
- Cross-Input Validation: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than their corresponding RSI period length. If you set a smoothing length greater than or equal to the RSI length, the script automatically adjusts it to (RSI Length - 1). This prevents logical errors and ensures valid configurations.
- Input Range Validation: All numeric inputs have minimum and maximum value constraints enforced by TradingView's input system, preventing invalid parameter values.
- Smart Defaults: Preset configurations use validated default values that are tested and optimized for each trading style. When switching between presets, all related settings are automatically updated to maintain consistency.
Core Calculations
Multi-Period RSI:
The script calculates RSI using the standard Wilder's RSI formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)), where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over the specified period. Three separate RSI calculations run simultaneously:
- RSI(6): Uses 6-period lookback for high sensitivity to recent price changes, useful for scalping and early signal detection
- RSI(14): Standard 14-period RSI for balanced analysis, the most commonly used RSI period
- RSI(24): Longer 24-period RSI for trend confirmation, provides smoother signals with less noise
Each RSI can be smoothed using EMA, SMA, RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA, or Zero-Lag smoothing. Zero-Lag smoothing uses the formula: ZL-RSI = RSI + (RSI - RSI ) to reduce lag while maintaining signal quality. You can apply individual smoothing lengths to each RSI period, or use global smoothing where all three RSIs share the same smoothing length.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Thresholds:
Static thresholds (default 70/30) are adjusted based on market volatility using ATR. The formula: Dynamic OB = Base OB + (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100), Dynamic OS = Base OS - (ATR × Volatility Multiplier × Base Percentage / 100). This adapts to volatile markets where traditional 70/30 levels may be too restrictive. During high volatility, the dynamic thresholds widen, and during low volatility, they narrow. The thresholds are clamped between 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The ATR is cached for performance optimization, updating on confirmed bars and real-time bars.
Adaptive RSI Calculation:
An adaptive RSI adjusts the standard RSI(14) based on current volatility relative to average volatility. The calculation: Adaptive Factor = (Current ATR / SMA of ATR over 20 periods) × Volatility Multiplier. If SMA of ATR is zero (edge case), the adaptive factor defaults to 0. The adaptive RSI = Base RSI × (1 + Adaptive Factor), clamped to 0-100. This makes the indicator more responsive during high volatility periods when traditional RSI may lag. The adaptive RSI is used for signal generation (buy/sell signals) but is not plotted on the chart.
Overbought/Oversold Fill Zones:
The script provides visual fill zones between the RSI line and the threshold lines when RSI is in overbought or oversold territory. The fill logic uses inclusive conditions: fills are shown when RSI is currently in the zone OR was in the zone on the previous bar. This ensures complete coverage of entry and exit boundaries. A minimum gap of 0.1 RSI points is maintained between the RSI plot and threshold line to ensure reliable polygon rendering in TradingView. The fill uses invisible plots at the threshold levels and the RSI value, with the fill color applied between them. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for the fill zones.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low (current low < lowest low from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a higher low (current RSI > lowest RSI from previous lookback period). Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high (current high > highest high from previous lookback period) while RSI makes a lower high (current RSI < highest RSI from previous lookback period). The script compares current price/RSI values to the lowest/highest values from the previous lookback period using ta.lowest() and ta.highest() functions with index to reference the previous period's extreme.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
An enhanced divergence detection method that uses actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and RSI. The pivot-based method uses a tolerance-based approach with configurable constants: 1% tolerance for price comparisons (priceTolerancePercent = 0.01) and 1.0 RSI point absolute tolerance for RSI comparisons (pivotTolerance = 1.0). Minimum divergence threshold is 1.0 RSI point (minDivergenceThreshold = 1.0). It looks for two recent pivot points and compares them: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low (at least 1% lower) while RSI makes a higher low (at least 1.0 point higher). This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period. When enabled, pivot-based divergence replaces the traditional method for more accurate signal generation.
Strong Divergence:
Regular divergence is confirmed by an engulfing candle pattern. Bullish engulfing requires: (1) Previous candle is bearish (close < open ), (2) Current candle is bullish (close > open), (3) Current close > previous open, (4) Current open < previous close. Bearish engulfing is the inverse: previous bullish, current bearish, current close < previous open, current open > previous close. Strong divergence signals are marked with visual indicators (🐂 for bullish, 🐻 for bearish) and have separate alert conditions.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low (current low > lowest low from previous period) but RSI makes a lower low (current RSI < lowest RSI from previous period). Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high (current high < highest high from previous period) but RSI makes a higher high (current RSI > highest RSI from previous period). These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 0.1 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired.
Volume Climax is detected when volume exceeds: Volume SMA + (Volume StdDev × Multiplier). This indicates potential capitulation moments where extreme volume accompanies price movements. Volume Dry-Up is detected when volume falls below: Volume SMA - (Volume StdDev × Multiplier), indicating low participation periods that may produce unreliable signals. The volume SMA is cached for performance, updating on confirmed and real-time bars.
Multi-RSI Synergy
The script generates signals when multiple RSI periods align in overbought or oversold zones. This creates a confirmation system that reduces false signals. In "ALL" mode, all three RSIs (6, 14, 24) must be simultaneously above the overbought threshold OR all three must be below the oversold threshold. In "2-of-3" mode, any two of the three RSIs must align in the same direction. The script counts how many RSIs are in each zone: twoOfThreeOB = ((rsi6OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi14OB ? 1 : 0) + (rsi24OB ? 1 : 0)) >= 2.
Synergy signals require: (1) Multi-RSI alignment (ALL or 2-of-3), (2) Volume confirmation, (3) Reset condition satisfied (enough bars since last synergy signal), (4) Additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Separate reset conditions track buy and sell signals independently. The reset condition uses ta.barssince() to count bars since the last trigger, returning true if the condition never occurred (allowing first signal) or if enough bars have passed.
Regression Forecasting
The script uses historical RSI values to forecast future RSI direction using four methods. The forecast horizon is configurable (1-50 bars ahead). Historical data is collected into an array, and regression coefficients are calculated based on the selected method.
Linear Regression: Calculates the least-squares fit line (y = mx + b) through the last N RSI values. The calculation: meanX = sumX / horizon, meanY = sumY / horizon, denominator = sumX² - horizon × meanX², m = (sumXY - horizon × meanX × meanY) / denominator, b = meanY - m × meanX. The forecast projects this line forward: forecast = b + m × i for i = 1 to horizon.
Polynomial Regression: Fits a quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) to capture non-linear trends. The system of equations is solved using Cramer's rule with a 3×3 determinant. If the determinant is too small (< 0.0001), the system falls back to linear regression. Coefficients are calculated by solving: n×c + sumX×b + sumX²×a = sumY, sumX×c + sumX²×b + sumX³×a = sumXY, sumX²×c + sumX³×b + sumX⁴×a = sumX²Y. Note: Due to the O(n³) computational complexity of polynomial regression, the forecast horizon is automatically limited to a maximum of 20 bars when using polynomial regression to maintain optimal performance. If you set a horizon greater than 20 bars with polynomial regression, it will be automatically capped at 20 bars.
Exponential Smoothing: Applies exponential smoothing with adaptive alpha = 2/(horizon+1). The smoothing iterates from oldest to newest value: smoothed = alpha × series + (1 - alpha) × smoothed. Trend is calculated by comparing current smoothed value to an earlier smoothed value (at 60% of horizon): trend = (smoothed - earlierSmoothed) / (horizon - earlierIdx). Forecast: forecast = base + trend × i.
Moving Average: Uses the difference between short MA (horizon/2) and long MA (horizon) to estimate trend direction. Trend = (maShort - maLong) / (longLen - shortLen). Forecast: forecast = maShort + trend × i.
Confidence bands are calculated using RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) of historical forecast accuracy. The error calculation compares historical values with forecast values: RMSE = sqrt(sumSquaredError / count). If insufficient data exists, it falls back to calculating standard deviation of recent RSI values. Confidence bands = forecast ± (RMSE × confidenceLevel). All forecast values and confidence bands are clamped to 0-100 to remain within RSI bounds. The regression functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, division-by-zero protection, and bounds checking for all array access operations to prevent runtime errors.
Strong Top/Bottom Detection
Strong buy signals require three conditions: (1) RSI is at its lowest point within the bottom period: rsiVal <= ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod), (2) RSI is below the oversold threshold minus a buffer: rsiVal < (oversoldThreshold - rsiTopBottomBuffer), where rsiTopBottomBuffer = 2.0 RSI points, (3) The absolute difference between current RSI and the lowest RSI exceeds the threshold value: abs(rsiVal - ta.lowest(rsiVal, bottomPeriod)) > threshold. This indicates a bounce from extreme levels with sufficient distance from the absolute low.
Strong sell signals use the inverse logic: RSI at highest point, above overbought threshold + rsiTopBottomBuffer (2.0 RSI points), and difference from highest exceeds threshold. Both signals also require: volume confirmation, reset condition satisfied (separate reset for buy vs sell), and all additional filters passed (RSI50, Trend, ADX, Volume Dry-Up avoidance).
The reset condition uses separate logic for buy and sell: resetCondBuy checks bars since isRSIAtBottom, resetCondSell checks bars since isRSIAtTop. This ensures buy signals reset based on bottom conditions and sell signals reset based on top conditions, preventing incorrect signal blocking.
Filtering System
RSI(50) Filter: Only allows buy signals when RSI(14) > 50 (bullish momentum) and sell signals when RSI(14) < 50 (bearish momentum). This filter ensures you're buying in uptrends and selling in downtrends from a momentum perspective. The filter is optional and can be disabled. Recommended to enable for noise reduction.
Trend Filter: Uses a long-term EMA (default 200) to determine trend direction. Buy signals require price above EMA, sell signals require price below EMA. The EMA slope is calculated as: emaSlope = ema - ema . Optional EMA slope filter additionally requires the EMA to be rising (slope > 0) for buy signals or falling (slope < 0) for sell signals. This provides stronger trend confirmation by requiring both price position and EMA direction.
ADX Filter: Uses the Directional Movement Index (calculated via ta.dmi()) to measure trend strength. Signals only fire when ADX exceeds the threshold (default 20), indicating a strong trend rather than choppy markets. The ADX calculation uses separate length and smoothing parameters. This filter helps avoid signals during sideways/consolidation periods.
Volume Dry-Up Avoidance: Prevents signals during periods of extremely low volume relative to average. If volume dry-up is detected and the filter is enabled, signals are blocked. This helps avoid unreliable signals that occur during low participation periods.
RSI Momentum Confirmation: Requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction before confirming signals. For buy signals, RSI must be consistently rising (recovering from oversold) over the lookback period. For sell signals, RSI must be consistently falling (declining from overbought) over the lookback period. The momentum check verifies that all consecutive changes are in the correct direction AND the cumulative change is significant. This filter ensures signals only fire when RSI momentum aligns with the signal direction, reducing false signals from weak momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Requires higher timeframe RSI to align with the signal direction. For buy signals, current RSI must be below the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. For sell signals, current RSI must be above the higher timeframe RSI by at least the confirmation threshold. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades. The higher timeframe RSI is fetched using request.security() from the selected timeframe.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
RSI Centerline and Period Crossovers
RSI(50) Centerline Crossovers: Detects when the selected RSI source crosses above or below the 50 centerline. Bullish crossover: ta.crossover(rsiSource, 50), bearish crossover: ta.crossunder(rsiSource, 50). You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use for these crossovers. These signals indicate momentum shifts from bearish to bullish (above 50) or bullish to bearish (below 50).
RSI Period Crossovers: Detects when different RSI periods cross each other. Available pairs: RSI(6) × RSI(14), RSI(14) × RSI(24), or RSI(6) × RSI(24). Bullish crossover: fast RSI crosses above slow RSI (ta.crossover(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum acceleration. Bearish crossover: fast RSI crosses below slow RSI (ta.crossunder(rsiFast, rsiSlow)), indicating momentum deceleration. These crossovers can signal shifts in momentum before price moves.
StochRSI Calculation
Stochastic RSI applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to RSI values instead of price. The calculation: %K = ((RSI - Lowest RSI) / (Highest RSI - Lowest RSI)) × 100, where the lookback is the StochRSI length. If the range is zero, %K defaults to 50.0. %K is then smoothed using SMA with the %K smoothing length. %D is calculated as SMA of smoothed %K with the %D smoothing length. All values are clamped to 0-100. You can select which RSI (6, 14, or 24) to use as the source for StochRSI calculation.
RSI Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are applied to RSI(14) instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(RSI(14), BB Period), StdDev = stdev(RSI(14), BB Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around RSI that adapt to RSI volatility. When RSI touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent RSI behavior.
Noise Reduction System
The script includes a comprehensive noise reduction system to filter false signals and improve accuracy. When enabled, signals must pass multiple quality checks:
Signal Strength Requirement: RSI must be at least X points away from the centerline (50). For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below 50. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above 50. This ensures signals only trigger when RSI is significantly in oversold/overbought territory, not just near neutral.
Extreme Zone Requirement: RSI must be deep in the OB/OS zone. For buy signals, RSI must be at least X points below the oversold threshold. For sell signals, RSI must be at least X points above the overbought threshold. This ensures signals only fire in extreme conditions where reversals are more likely.
Consecutive Bar Confirmation: The signal condition must persist for N consecutive bars before triggering. This reduces false signals from single-bar spikes or noise. The confirmation checks that the signal condition was true for all bars in the lookback period.
Zone Persistence (Optional): Requires RSI to remain in the OB/OS zone for N consecutive bars, not just touch it. This ensures RSI is truly in an extreme state rather than just briefly touching the threshold. When enabled, this provides stricter filtering for higher-quality signals.
RSI Slope Confirmation (Optional): Requires RSI to be moving in the expected signal direction. For buy signals, RSI should be rising (recovering from oversold). For sell signals, RSI should be falling (declining from overbought). This ensures momentum is aligned with the signal direction. The slope is calculated by comparing current RSI to RSI N bars ago.
All noise reduction filters can be enabled/disabled independently, allowing you to customize the balance between signal frequency and accuracy. The default settings provide a good balance, but you can adjust them based on your trading style and market conditions.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type: buy/sell (adaptive RSI crossovers), divergence (regular, strong, hidden), crossovers (RSI50 centerline, RSI period crossovers), synergy signals, and trend breaks. Each alert type has its own alertcondition() declaration with a unique title and message.
An optional cooldown system prevents alert spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type. The cooldown check: canAlert = na(lastAlertBar) OR (bar_index - lastAlertBar >= cooldownBars). If the last alert bar is na (first alert), it always allows the alert. Each alert type maintains its own lastAlertBar variable, so cooldowns are independent per signal type. The default cooldown is 10 bars, which is recommended for noise reduction.
Higher Timeframe RSI
The script can display RSI from a higher timeframe using request.security(). This allows you to see the RSI context from a larger timeframe (e.g., daily RSI on an hourly chart). The higher timeframe RSI uses RSI(14) calculation from the selected timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's RSI position relative to the larger trend.
RSI Pivot Trendlines
The script can draw trendlines connecting pivot highs and lows on RSI(6). This feature helps visualize RSI trends and identify potential trend breaks.
Pivot Detection: Pivots are detected using a configurable period. The script can require pivots to have minimum strength (RSI points difference from surrounding bars) to filter out weak pivots. Lower minPivotStrength values detect more pivots (more trendlines), while higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer but more significant trendlines). Pivot confirmation is optional: when enabled, the script waits N bars to confirm the pivot remains the extreme, reducing repainting. Pivot confirmation functions (f_confirmPivotLow and f_confirmPivotHigh) are always called on every bar for consistency, as recommended by TradingView. When pivot bars are not available (na), safe default values are used, and the results are then used conditionally based on confirmation settings. This ensures consistent calculations and prevents calculation inconsistencies.
Trendline Drawing: Uptrend lines connect confirmed pivot lows (green), and downtrend lines connect confirmed pivot highs (red). By default, only the most recent trendline is shown (old trendlines are deleted when new pivots are confirmed). This keeps the chart clean and uncluttered. If "Keep Historical Trendlines" is enabled, the script preserves up to N historical trendlines (configurable via "Max Trendlines to Keep", default 5). When historical trendlines are enabled, old trendlines are saved to arrays instead of being deleted, allowing you to see multiple trendlines simultaneously for better trend analysis. The arrays are automatically limited to prevent memory accumulation.
Trend Break Detection: Signals are generated when RSI breaks above or below trendlines. Uptrend breaks (RSI crosses below uptrend line) generate buy signals. Downtrend breaks (RSI crosses above downtrend line) generate sell signals. Optional trend break confirmation requires the break to persist for N bars and optionally include volume confirmation. Trendline angle filtering can exclude flat/weak trendlines from generating signals (minTrendlineAngle > 0 filters out weak/flat trendlines).
How Components Work Together
The combination of multiple RSI periods provides confirmation across different timeframes, reducing false signals. RSI(6) catches early moves, RSI(14) provides balanced signals, and RSI(24) confirms longer-term trends. When all three align (synergy), it indicates strong consensus across timeframes.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Volume climax detection identifies potential reversal points, while volume dry-up avoidance prevents signals during unreliable low-volume periods.
Trend filters align signals with the overall market direction. The EMA filter ensures you're trading with the trend, and the EMA slope filter adds an additional layer by requiring the trend to be strengthening (rising EMA for buys, falling EMA for sells).
ADX filter ensures signals only fire during strong trends, avoiding choppy/consolidation periods. RSI(50) filter ensures momentum alignment with the trade direction.
Momentum confirmation requires RSI to be accelerating in the signal direction, ensuring signals only fire when momentum is aligned. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Divergence detection identifies potential reversals before they occur, providing early warning signals. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence identifies continuation patterns, useful for trend-following strategies.
The noise reduction system combines multiple filters (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, zone persistence, RSI slope) to significantly reduce false signals. These filters work together to ensure only high-quality signals are generated.
The synergy system requires alignment across all RSI periods for highest-quality signals, significantly reducing false positives. Regression forecasting provides forward-looking context, helping anticipate potential RSI direction changes.
Pivot trendlines provide visual trend analysis and can generate signals when RSI breaks trendlines, indicating potential reversals or continuations.
Reset conditions prevent signal spam by requiring a minimum number of bars between signals. Separate reset conditions for buy and sell signals ensure proper signal management.
Usage Instructions
Configuration Presets (Recommended): The script includes optimized preset configurations for instant setup. Simply select your trading style from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown:
- Scalping Preset: RSI(4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing. Noise reduction disabled, momentum confirmation disabled for fastest signals.
- Day Trading Preset: RSI(6, 9, 14) with light smoothing. Momentum confirmation enabled for better signal quality.
- Swing Trading Preset: RSI(14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Balanced configuration for medium-term trades.
- Position Trading Preset: RSI(24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing. Optimized for longer-term positions with all filters active.
- Custom Mode: Full manual control over all settings. Default behavior matches previous script versions.
Presets automatically configure RSI periods, smoothing lengths, and filter settings. You can still manually adjust any setting after selecting a preset if needed.
Getting Started: The easiest way to get started is to select a configuration preset matching your trading style (Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, or Position Trading) from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown. This instantly configures all settings for optimal performance. Alternatively, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) shows RSI(6), RSI(14), and RSI(24) with their default smoothing. Overbought/oversold fill zones are enabled by default.
Customizing RSI Periods: Adjust the RSI lengths (6, 14, 24) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (6) for scalping, standard (14) for day trading, longer (24) for swing trading. You can disable any RSI period you don't need.
Smoothing Selection: Choose smoothing method based on your needs. EMA provides balanced smoothing, RMA (Wilder's) is traditional, Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. Adjust smoothing lengths individually or use global smoothing for consistency. Note: Smoothing lengths are automatically validated to ensure they are always less than the corresponding RSI period length. If you set smoothing >= RSI length, it will be auto-adjusted to prevent invalid configurations.
Dynamic OB/OS: The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Volume Confirmation: Set volume threshold to 1.2 (default) for standard confirmation, higher for stricter filtering, or 0.1 to disable volume filtering entirely.
Multi-RSI Synergy: Use "ALL" mode for highest-quality signals (all 3 RSIs must align), or "2-of-3" mode for more frequent signals. Adjust the reset period to control signal frequency.
Filters: Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter, then ADX for strongest confirmation. RSI(50) filter is useful for momentum-based strategies and is recommended for noise reduction. Momentum confirmation and multi-timeframe confirmation add additional layers of accuracy but may reduce signal frequency.
Noise Reduction: The noise reduction system is enabled by default with balanced settings. Adjust minSignalStrength (default 3.0) to control how far RSI must be from centerline. Increase requireConsecutiveBars (default 1) to require signals to persist longer. Enable requireZonePersistence and requireRsiSlope for stricter filtering (higher quality but fewer signals). Start with defaults and adjust based on your needs.
Divergence: Enable divergence detection and adjust lookback periods. Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) provides higher-quality signals. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Enable pivot-based divergence for more accurate detection using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Pivot-based divergence uses tolerance-based matching (1% for price, 1.0 RSI point for RSI) for better accuracy.
Forecasting: Enable regression forecasting to see potential RSI direction. Linear regression is simplest, polynomial captures curves, exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Adjust horizon based on your trading timeframe. Confidence bands show forecast uncertainty - wider bands indicate less reliable forecasts.
Pivot Trendlines: Enable pivot trendlines to visualize RSI trends and identify trend breaks. Adjust pivot detection period (default 5) - higher values detect fewer but stronger pivots. Enable pivot confirmation (default ON) to reduce repainting. Set minPivotStrength (default 1.0) to filter weak pivots - lower values detect more pivots (more trendlines), higher values detect only stronger pivots (fewer trendlines). Enable "Keep Historical Trendlines" to preserve multiple trendlines instead of just the most recent one. Set "Max Trendlines to Keep" (default 5) to control how many historical trendlines are preserved. Enable trend break confirmation for more reliable break signals. Adjust minTrendlineAngle (default 0.0) to filter flat trendlines - set to 0.1-0.5 to exclude weak trendlines.
Alerts: Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable cooldown to prevent alert spam. Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- "sBottom" label (green): Strong bottom signal - RSI at extreme low with strong buy conditions
- "sTop" label (red): Strong top signal - RSI at extreme high with strong sell conditions
- "SyBuy" label (lime): Multi-RSI synergy buy signal - all RSIs aligned oversold
- "SySell" label (red): Multi-RSI synergy sell signal - all RSIs aligned overbought
- 🐂 emoji (green): Strong bullish divergence detected
- 🐻 emoji (red): Strong bearish divergence detected
- 🔆 emoji: Weak divergence signals (if enabled)
- "H-Bull" label: Hidden bullish divergence
- "H-Bear" label: Hidden bearish divergence
- ⚡ marker (top of pane): Volume climax detected (extreme volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- 💧 marker (top of pane): Volume dry-up detected (very low volume) - positioned at top for visibility
- ↑ triangle (lime): Uptrend break signal - RSI breaks below uptrend line
- ↓ triangle (red): Downtrend break signal - RSI breaks above downtrend line
- Triangle up (lime): RSI(50) bullish crossover
- Triangle down (red): RSI(50) bearish crossover
- Circle markers: RSI period crossovers
All markers are positioned at the RSI value where the signal occurs, using location.absolute for precise placement.
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. Multi-RSI Synergy signals (SyBuy/SySell) - Highest priority: Requires alignment across all RSI periods plus volume and filter confirmation. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Strong Top/Bottom signals (sTop/sBottom) - High priority: Indicates extreme RSI levels with strong bounce conditions. Requires volume confirmation and all filters.
3. Divergence signals - Medium-High priority: Strong divergence (with engulfing) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. Adaptive RSI crossovers - Medium priority: Buy when adaptive RSI crosses below dynamic oversold, sell when it crosses above dynamic overbought. These use volatility-adjusted RSI for more accurate signals.
5. RSI(50) centerline crossovers - Medium priority: Momentum shift signals. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
6. RSI period crossovers - Lower priority: Early momentum shift indicators. Can provide early warning but may produce false signals in choppy markets.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a synergy signal combined with divergence and volume climax provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate RSI " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- ATR and Volume SMA are cached using var variables, updating only on confirmed and real-time bars to reduce redundant calculations
- Forecast line arrays are dynamically managed: lines are reused when possible, and unused lines are deleted to prevent memory accumulation
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.rsi, ta.ema, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Array operations are minimized where possible, with direct calculations preferred
- Polynomial regression automatically caps the forecast horizon at 20 bars (POLYNOMIAL_MAX_HORIZON constant) to prevent performance degradation, as polynomial regression has O(n³) complexity. This safeguard ensures optimal performance even with large horizon settings
- Pivot detection includes edge case handling to ensure reliable calculations even on early bars with limited historical data. Regression forecasting functions include comprehensive safety checks: horizon validation (must not exceed array size), empty array handling, edge case handling for horizon=1 scenarios, and division-by-zero protection in all mathematical operations
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data, forecast lines may accumulate if the horizon is large; consider reducing the forecast horizon if you experience performance issues. The polynomial regression performance safeguard automatically prevents performance issues for that specific regression type.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Forecast lines are forward-looking projections and should not be used as definitive predictions. They provide context but are not guaranteed to be accurate.
- Dynamic OB/OS thresholds can exceed 100 or go below 0 in extreme volatility scenarios, but are clamped to 0-100 range. This means in very volatile markets, the dynamic thresholds may not widen as much as the raw calculation suggests.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe RSI uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Regression forecasting requires at least N bars of history (where N = forecast horizon) before it can generate forecasts. Early bars will not show forecast lines.
- StochRSI calculation requires the selected RSI source to have sufficient history. Very short RSI periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochRSI values initially.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading: Select the "Swing Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (14, 14, 21) with moderate smoothing. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode, combined with trend filter (EMA 200) and ADX filter. This configuration provides high-probability setups with strong confirmation across multiple RSI periods.
Day Trading: Select the "Day Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (6, 9, 14) with light smoothing and momentum confirmation enabled. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with Zero-Lag smoothing for fast signal detection. Enable volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5 for reliable entries. Combine with RSI(50) filter to ensure momentum alignment. Strong top/bottom signals work well for day trading reversals.
Trend Following: Enable trend filter (EMA) and EMA slope filter for strong trend confirmation. Use RSI(14) or RSI(24) with ADX filter to avoid choppy markets. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries.
Reversal Trading: Focus on divergence detection (regular and strong) combined with strong top/bottom signals. Enable volume climax detection to identify capitulation moments. Use RSI(6) for early reversal signals, confirmed by RSI(14) and RSI(24).
Forecasting and Planning: Enable regression forecasting with polynomial or exponential smoothing methods. Use forecast horizon of 10-20 bars for swing trading, 5-10 bars for day trading. Confidence bands help assess forecast reliability.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Enable higher timeframe RSI to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily RSI on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. This helps avoid counter-trend trades.
Scalping: Select the "Scalping" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses RSI periods (4, 7, 9) with minimal smoothing, disables noise reduction, and disables momentum confirmation for faster signals. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(6) with minimal smoothing (or Zero-Lag) for ultra-fast signals. Disable most filters except volume confirmation. Use RSI period crossovers (RSI(6) × RSI(14)) for early momentum shifts. Set volume threshold to 1.0-1.2 for less restrictive filtering.
Position Trading: Select the "Position Trading" preset for instant optimal configuration. This preset uses extended RSI periods (24, 21, 28) with heavier smoothing, optimized for longer-term trades. Alternatively, manually configure: Use RSI(24) with all filters enabled (Trend, ADX, RSI(50), Volume Dry-Up avoidance). Multi-RSI Synergy in "ALL" mode provides highest-quality signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started: The fastest way to get started is to select a configuration preset that matches your trading style. Simply choose "Scalping", "Day Trading", "Swing Trading", or "Position Trading" from the "Configuration Preset" dropdown to instantly configure all settings optimally. For advanced users, use "Custom" mode for full manual control. The default configuration (Custom mode) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style.
Reducing Repainting: All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality: Multi-RSI Synergy signals in "ALL" mode provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across all three RSI periods. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. For more frequent signals, use "2-of-3" mode. The noise reduction system further improves signal quality by requiring multiple confirmations (signal strength, extreme zone, consecutive bars, optional zone persistence and RSI slope). Adjust noise reduction settings to balance signal frequency vs. accuracy.
Filter Combinations: Start with volume confirmation, then add trend filter for trend alignment, then ADX filter for trend strength. Combining all three filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering: Set volume threshold to 0.1 or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
RSI Period Selection: RSI(6) is most sensitive and best for scalping or early signal detection. RSI(14) provides balanced signals suitable for day trading. RSI(24) is smoother and better for swing trading and trend confirmation. You can disable any RSI period you don't need to reduce visual clutter.
Smoothing Methods: EMA provides balanced smoothing with moderate lag. RMA (Wilder's smoothing) is traditional and works well for RSI. Zero-Lag reduces lag but may increase noise. WMA gives more weight to recent values. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Forecasting: Linear regression is simplest and works well for trending markets. Polynomial regression captures curves and works better in ranging markets. Exponential smoothing adapts to trends. Moving average method is most conservative. Use confidence bands to assess forecast reliability.
Divergence: Strong divergence (with engulfing confirmation) is more reliable than regular divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection by using actual pivot points instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. Adjust lookback periods based on your timeframe: shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading. Pivot divergence period (default 5) controls the sensitivity of pivot detection.
Dynamic Thresholds: Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the volatility multiplier and base percentage to fine-tune sensitivity. Higher values create wider thresholds in volatile markets.
Alert Management: Enable alert cooldown (default 10 bars, recommended) to prevent alert spam. Each alert type has its own cooldown, so you can set different cooldowns for different signal types. For example, use shorter cooldown for synergy signals (high quality) and longer cooldown for crossovers (more frequent). The cooldown system works independently for each signal type, preventing spam while allowing different signal types to fire when appropriate.

Results are then used conditionally when needed. This ensures consistent calculations and prevents calculation inconsistencies.
Pyramid EnterPyramid Enter — Educational Position-Scaling Study
Purpose
Pyramid Enter is a lightweight, educational visualization of additive entries (“pyramiding into strength”). It’s designed to help you study how layered entries might line up during persistent trends. This script does not execute orders, make predictions, or provide financial advice. It simply shows where entry candidates could appear under a simple crossover framework with an optional trend filter.
How it works (concept)
Computes a fast EMA of your chosen Source (default: close).
Applies a user-selected Smoother (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA/None) to create a slower reference line.
Marks an Enter candidate when the fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line.
Optional EMA 8/21 trend filter can be enabled to allow marks only when EMA(8) > EMA(21).
Includes an adaptive-on-flip option: if the 8/21 filter turns on, a one-time Enter candidate is allowed (useful for studying “first add after trend resumes”).
This is strictly a visual study of where entries might layer during momentum continuation — exits, risk, and sizing are intentionally out of scope so you can analyze those topics separately.
Inputs
Inputs
Length: Period of the fast EMA applied to Source.
Source: Price series used for the fast EMA.
Offset: Visual offset only; no effect on logic.
Smoothing
Type: Choose “SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / None” for the reference line.
Length: Period for the smoothing type above.
Visualization
Show Labels: Toggle the on-chart Enter labels.
EMA 8/21 Filter
Enable EMA 8/21 Filter: Only mark when EMA(8) > EMA(21).
Fast EMA / Slow EMA: Lengths for the filter (defaults 8/21).
Plot Filter EMAs: Display the 8/21 lines for context.
Adaptive entry when filter flips ON: Allows a one-time Enter candidate on the bar the trend filter turns on (handy when studying re-acceleration after a pullback).
Visuals
White line: Fast EMA of Source.
Blue line: Selected smoother (your slower reference).
Labels: “Pyramid Enter” markers at candidate spots (intrabar + bar-close confirmation are handled internally to keep charts tidy).
No alerts are included. This tool is for chart study only.
Suggested study workflow
Context first — Add your higher-timeframe tools or moving averages to understand the broader regime.
Enable the 8/21 filter if you want to restrict labels to uptrends only.
Experiment with the smoother — SMA is simple, but EMA/RMA/WMA can change sensitivity.
Review clusters of “Pyramid Enter” labels during strong trends to learn where scaling could be considered in a rules-based process.
Pair with your risk framework — Because this script intentionally omits exits/position sizing, use it alongside your own stop, trailing, and de-risking logic for research.

CHAN CRYPTO RS🩷 ATR RS (Crypto / High-based 2.1x, Decimal Safe v2)
This indicator is designed for crypto position sizing and stop calculation using ATR-based risk management. It helps traders automatically determine the stop price, per-unit risk, and optimal position size based on a fixed risk amount in USDT.
🔧 Core Logic
ATR Length (Daily RMA) — calculates the daily Average True Range (ATR) using RMA smoothing.
ATR Multiplier (2.1× default) — defines how far the stop is placed from the daily high.
Stop Price (for Longs) = Daily High − ATR × Multiplier
Per-Unit Risk = (Entry − Stop) × Point Value
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Per-Unit Risk
Automatically handles decimal precision for micro-priced crypto assets (e.g., PEPE, SHIB).
Includes safeguards for minimum size and maximum position caps.
💡 Features
Uses Daily ATR without lookahead (no repainting).
Dynamically switches between current and previous ATR for stable results when the daily bar isn’t yet confirmed.
“Snap to tick” ensures stop prices align with the symbol’s tick size.
Table display summarizes ATR, stop price, per-unit risk, total risk, size, and bet amount.
Optional stop label on the chart for visual clarity.
🧮 Output Table
Metric Description
ATR(10) Daily RMA-based ATR

Bet Total position value (Entry × Size)
🧠 Ideal For
Crypto traders who use fixed-risk ATR strategies and need precise, decimal-safe position sizing even for ultra-low-priced tokens.
BB Crosses Optimized - [JTCAPITAL]BB Crosses Optimized - is a modified way to use Bollinger Bands combined with volatility filtering (ATR) and flexible smoothing methods for Trend-Following.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Source Selection & Smoothing
The script begins by letting the user select a preferred price source (default is Close, but options include Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.). This raw input is then passed through a smoothing process.
Multiple smoothing techniques can be chosen: SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, and FRAMA. Each method reduces short-term noise differently, ensuring flexibility for traders who prefer faster or slower reaction speeds in trend detection.
Bollinger Band Construction
Once the smoothed source is prepared, Bollinger Bands are calculated. The middle band is a moving average of the smoothed data over the defined BB Period . The upper and lower bands are then generated by adding and subtracting the Standard Deviation × Deviation multiplier . These dynamic bands capture volatility and help define breakout zones.
ATR Volatility Measurement
Parallel to the band calculation, the Average True Range (ATR) is computed over the chosen ATR Period . This measures market volatility. The ATR can optionally act as a filter, refining buy and sell levels so signals adapt to current market conditions rather than being fixed to price alone.
Bollinger Band Signals
-If the smoothed price closes above the upper band, a potential bullish event is marked.
-If the smoothed price closes below the lower band, a potential bearish event is marked.
Trend Line Construction
When a bullish event occurs, the script anchors a trend-following line beneath price. If ATR filtering is enabled, the line is set at Low – ATR , otherwise at the simple Low. Conversely, when a bearish event occurs, the line is anchored above price at High + ATR (or just High without the filter). The line is designed to only move in the direction of the trend—if price action does not exceed the prior value, the previous level is held. This prevents unnecessary whipsaws and keeps the indicator aligned with dominant momentum.
Final Trend Detection
The slope of the trend line defines the trend itself:
-Rising line → bullish trend.
-Falling line → bearish trend.
Visual Output
The indicator plots the trend line with dynamic coloring: Blue for bullish phases, Purple for bearish phases. A subtle filled background area emphasizes the active trend zone for clearer chart interpretation.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
- Buy Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes above the upper Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors below price (with or without ATR offset depending on settings).
- Sell Signal : Triggered when smoothed price closes below the lower Bollinger Band. Trend line then anchors above price (with or without ATR offset).
Additional filtering is possible via:
- ATR Toggle : Switch ATR on or off to adapt the strategy to either volatile or steady markets.
- Smoothing Method : Adjust smoothing to speed up or slow down responsiveness.
- Deviation Multiplier : Tight or wide bands adjust the sensitivity of signals.
Features and Parameters:
- Source : Choose between Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, etc.
- Average Type : Options include SMA, EMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, FRAMA.
- ATR Period : Defines how ATR volatility is measured.
- BB Period : Lookback length for Bollinger Band construction.
- Deviation : Multiplier for the standard deviation in Bollinger Bands.
- Smoothing Period : Controls how much the source data is smoothed.
- ATR Filter On/Off : Enables or disables ATR integration in signal calculation.
Specifications:
Smoothing (MA Types)
Smoothing is essential to reduce chart noise. By offering multiple MA choices, traders can balance between lag (SMA, RMA) and responsiveness (EMA, HMA, FRAMA). This flexibility allows the indicator to adapt across asset classes and trading styles.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands measure price deviation around a moving average. They help identify volatility expansion and contraction. In this script, the bands serve as breakout triggers—price crossing outside suggests momentum strong enough to sustain a trend.
Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion of price data around the mean. With a multiplier applied, it creates bands that contain a probabilistic portion of price action. Crossing beyond these suggests a higher likelihood of trend continuation.
ATR (Average True Range)
ATR measures the degree of volatility. Instead of simply reacting to price crossing the bands, ATR ensures the trend line placement adapts to current conditions. In volatile markets, wider buffers prevent premature signals; in calmer markets, tighter placement keeps signals responsive.
Trend Line Logic
The trend line only adjusts in the direction of the trend. If new values do not exceed the prior, the line remains unchanged. This prevents false reversals and makes the line a reliable visual confirmation of trend direction.
Signal Detection
The indicator does not repaint: signals are based on confirmed closes relative to the Bollinger Bands. This makes it more reliable for both live trading and backtesting scenarios.
Visual Enhancements
The use of dual plots and fill shading creates a clearer separation of bullish vs. bearish phases. This helps traders visually align entries and exits without second-guessing.

Optimized ADX DI CCI Strategy### Key Features:
- Combines ADX, DI+/-, CCI, and RSI for signal generation.
- Supports customizable timeframes for indicators.
- Offers multiple exit conditions (Moving Average cross, ADX change, performance-based stop-loss).
- Tracks and displays trade statistics (e.g., win rate, capital growth, profit factor).
- Visualizes trades with labels and optional background coloring.
- Allows countertrading (opening an opposite trade after closing one).
1. **Indicator Calculation**:
- **ADX and DI+/-**: Calculated using the `ta.dmi` function with user-defined lengths for DI and ADX smoothing.
- **CCI**: Computed using the `ta.cci` function with a configurable source (default: `hlc3`) and length.
- **RSI (optional)**: Calculated using the `ta.rsi` function to filter overbought/oversold conditions.
- **Moving Averages**: Used for CCI signal smoothing and trade exits, with support for SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, and VWMA.
2. **Signal Generation**:
- **Buy Signal**: Triggered when DI+ > DI- (or DI+ crosses over DI-), CCI > MA (or CCI crosses over MA), and optional ADX/RSI filters are satisfied.
- **Sell Signal**: Triggered when DI+ < DI- (or DI- crosses over DI+), CCI < MA (or CCI crosses under MA), and optional ADX/RSI filters are satisfied.
3. **Trade Execution**:
- **Entry**: Long or short trades are opened using `strategy.entry` when signals are detected, provided trading is allowed (`allow_long`/`allow_short`) and equity is positive.
- **Exit**: Trades can be closed based on:
- Opposite signal (if no other exit conditions are used).
- MA cross (price crossing below/above the exit MA for long/short trades).
- ADX percentage change exceeding a threshold.
- Performance-based stop-loss (trade loss exceeding a percentage).
- **Countertrading**: If enabled, closing a trade triggers an opposite trade (e.g., closing a long opens a short).
4. **Visualization**:
- Labels are plotted at trade entries/exits (e.g., "BUY," "SELL," arrows).
- Optional background coloring highlights open trades (green for long, red for short).
- A statistics table displays real-time metrics (e.g., capital, win rates).
5. **Trade Tracking**:
- Tracks the number of long/short trades, wins, and overall performance.
- Monitors equity to prevent trading if it falls to zero.
### 2.3 Key Components
- **Indicator Calculations**: Uses `request.security` to fetch indicator data for the specified timeframe.
- **MA Function**: A custom `ma_func` handles different MA types for CCI and exit conditions.
- **Signal Logic**: Combines crossover/under checks with recent bar windows for flexibility.
- **Exit Conditions**: Multiple configurable exit strategies for risk management.
- **Statistics Table**: Updates dynamically with trade and capital metrics.
## 3. Configuration Options
The script provides extensive customization through input parameters, grouped for clarity in the TradingView settings panel. Below is a detailed breakdown of each setting and its impact.
### 3.1 Strategy Settings (Global)

- **Effect**: Determines the base equity for calculating position sizes and performance metrics.
- **Default Quantity Type**: `strategy.percent_of_equity` (50% of equity).
- **Effect**: Controls the size of each trade as a percentage of available equity.
- **Pyramiding**: Default `2`. Allows up to 2 simultaneous trades in the same direction.
- **Effect**: Enables multiple entries if conditions are met, increasing exposure.
- **Commission**: 0.2% per trade.
- **Effect**: Simulates trading fees, reducing net profit in backtesting.
- **Margin**: 100% for long and short trades.
- **Effect**: Assumes no leverage; adjust for margin trading simulations.
- **Calc on Every Tick**: `true`.
- **Effect**: Ensures real-time signal updates for precise execution.
### 3.2 Indicator Settings
- **Indicator Timeframe** (`indicator_timeframe`):
- **Options**: `""` (chart timeframe), `1`, `5`, `15`, `30`, `60`, `240`, `D`, `W`.
- **Default**: `""` (uses chart timeframe).
- **Effect**: Determines the timeframe for ADX, DI, CCI, and RSI calculations. A higher timeframe reduces noise but may delay signals.
### 3.3 ADX & DI Settings
- **DI Length** (`adx_di_len`):
- **Default**: `30`.

- **Effect**: Defines the price data for CCI. `hlc3` is standard, but users can choose other sources (e.g., `close`).
- **CCI MA Type** (`ma_type`):
- **Options**: `SMA`, `EMA`, `SMMA (RMA)`, `WMA`, `VWMA`.
- **Default**: `SMA`.
- **Effect**: Determines the moving average type for CCI signal smoothing. EMA is more responsive; VWMA weights by volume.
- **CCI MA Length** (`ma_length`):
- **Default**: `14`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Sets the period for the CCI MA. Longer periods smooth the MA but may delay signals.
### 3.5 RSI Filter Settings
- **Use RSI Filter** (`use_rsi_filter`):
- **Default**: `false`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, applies RSI-based overbought/oversold filters to signals.
- **RSI Length** (`rsi_length`):
- **Default**: `14`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Sets the period for RSI calculation. Longer periods reduce sensitivity.
- **RSI Lower Limit** (`rsi_lower_limit`):
- **Default**: `30`.
- **Range**: `0` to `100`.

- **Effect**: Enables/disables new short trades. If `false`, only closing existing shorts is allowed.
- **Require DI+/DI- Cross for Buy** (`buy_di_cross`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a DI+ crossover DI- for buy signals; if `false`, DI+ > DI- is sufficient.
- **Require CCI Cross for Buy** (`buy_cci_cross`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a CCI crossover MA for buy signals; if `false`, CCI > MA is sufficient.
- **Require DI+/DI- Cross for Sell** (`sell_di_cross`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a DI- crossover DI+ for sell signals; if `false`, DI+ < DI- is sufficient.
- **Require CCI Cross for Sell** (`sell_cci_cross`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a CCI crossunder MA for sell signals; if `false`, CCI < MA is sufficient.
- **Countertrade** (`countertrade`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closing a trade triggers an opposite trade (e.g., close long, open short) if allowed.
- **Color Background for Open Trades** (`color_background`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, colors the chart background green for long trades and red for short trades.
### 3.7 Exit Settings
- **Use MA Cross for Exit** (`use_ma_exit`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closes trades when the price crosses the exit MA (below for long, above for short).
- **MA Length for Exit** (`ma_exit_length`):
- **Default**: `20`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Sets the period for the exit MA. Longer periods delay exits.
- **MA Type for Exit** (`ma_exit_type`):
- **Options**: `SMA`, `EMA`, `SMMA (RMA)`, `WMA`, `VWMA`.
- **Default**: `SMA`.
- **Effect**: Determines the MA type for exit signals. EMA is more responsive; VWMA weights by volume.
- **Use ADX Change Stop-Loss** (`use_adx_stop`):
- **Default**: `false`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closes trades when the ADX changes by a specified percentage.
- **ADX % Change for Stop-Loss** (`adx_change_percent`):
- **Default**: `5.0`.
- **Range**: Minimum `0.0`, step `0.1`.
- **Effect**: Specifies the percentage change in ADX (vs. previous bar) that triggers a stop-loss. Higher values reduce premature exits.
- **Use Performance Stop-Loss** (`use_perf_stop`):
- **Default**: `false`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closes trades when the loss exceeds a percentage threshold.

The release introduces a new Squeeze Detector , expanded Keltner Channels , and streamlined Momentum signals , with no repaints and improved performance. The menus have been reorganized and simplified. Color swatches have been added for better customization. All other colors will be derived from these swatches.
## Highlights
New Squeeze Detector to mark low-volatility periods and prepare for breakouts.
New: Bands are now fully configurable with independent MA length, ATR length, and multipliers.
Five moving average bases for bands: EMA (from v2), SMA, RMA, VMA, HMA.
Simplified color system: three swatches drive candles, on-chart marks, and band fill.
Reorganized menu with focused sections and tooltips for each parameter making the entire trader experience more intuitive.
No repaints and faster performance across calculations.
## Overview
Configuration : Pick from three color swatches and apply them to candles, plotted characters, and band fill for consistent chart context. Use the reorganized menu to reach Keltner settings, momentum signals, and squeeze detection without extra clicks; tooltips clarify each input.
Bands and averages: Choose the band basis from EMA, SMA, RMA, VMA, or HMA to match your strategy. Configure two bands independently by setting MA length, ATR length, and band multipliers for the inner and outer envelopes.
Signals : Select the band responsible for momentum signals. Choose wick or close as the price source for entries and exits. Control the window for extreme momentum with “Max Momentum Bars,” a setting now exposed in v3 for direct tuning.
Squeeze detection : The Squeeze Detector normalizes band width and uses percentile ranking to highlight volatility compression. When the market falls below a user-defined threshold, the indicator colors the region with a gradient to signal potential expansion.

Penguin TrendMeasures the volatility regime by comparing the upper Bollinger Band to the upper Keltner Channel and colors bars with a lightweight trend state. Supports SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA/HMA/VWMA/VWAP and a selectable calculation timeframe. Default settings preserve the original look and behavior.
Penguin Trend visualizes expansion vs. compression in price action by comparing two classic volatility envelopes. It computes:
Diff% = (UpperBB − UpperKC) / UpperKC × 100
* Diff > 0: Bollinger Bands are wider than Keltner Channels -> expansion / momentum regime.
* Diff < 0: BB narrower than KC -> compression / squeeze regime.
A white “Average Difference” line smooths Diff% (default: SMA(5)) to help spot regime shifts.
Trend coloring (kept from original):
Bars are colored only when Diff > 0 to emphasize expansion phases. A lightweight trend engine defines four states using a fast/slow MA bias and a short “thrust” MA applied to ohlc4:
* Green: Bullish bias and thrust > fast MA (healthy upside thrust).
* Red: Bearish bias and thrust < fast MA (healthy downside thrust).
* Yellow: Bullish bias but thrust ≤ fast MA (pullback/weakness).
* Blue: Bearish bias but thrust ≥ fast MA (bear rally/short squeeze).
Note: By default, Blue renders as Yellow to preserve the original visual style. Enable “Use true BLUE color” if you prefer Aqua for Blue.
How it works (under the hood):
* Bollinger Bands (BB): Basis = selected MA of src (default SMA(20)). Width = StdDev × Mult (default 2.0).
* Keltner Channels (KC): Basis = selected MA of src (default SMA(20)). Width = ATR(kcATR) × Mult (defaults 20 and 2.0).
* Diff%: Safe division guards against division-by-zero.
* MA engine: You can choose SMA / EMA / WMA / RMA / HMA / VWMA / VWAP for BB/KC bases, Diff smoothing, and the trend components (VWAP is session-anchored).
* Calculation timeframe: Set “Calculation timeframe” to compute all internals on a chosen TF via request.security() while viewing any chart TF.
Inputs (key ones):
* Calculation timeframe: Empty = use chart TF; if set (e.g., 60), all internals compute on that TF.
* BB: Length, StdDev Mult, MA Type.
* KC: Basis Length, ATR Length, Multiplier, MA Type.
* Smoothing: Average Length & MA Type for the “Average Difference” line.
* Trend Engine: Fast/Slow lengths & MA type; Signal (kept for completeness); Thrust length & MA type (defaults replicate original behavior).
* Display: Paint bars only when Diff > 0; optional Zero line; optional true Blue color.
How to use:
1. Regime changes: Watch Diff% or Average Diff crossing 0. Above zero favors momentum/continuation setups; below zero suggests compression and potential breakout conditions.
2. State confirmation: Use bar colors to qualify expansion: Green/Red indicate expansion aligned with trend thrust; Yellow/Blue flag weaker/contrarian thrust during expansion.
3. Multi-timeframe analysis: Run calculations on a higher TF (e.g., H1/H4) while trading a lower TF chart to smooth noise.
Alerts:
* Diff crosses above/below 0.
* Average Diff crosses above/below 0.
* State changes: GREEN / RED / YELLOW / BLUE.
Notes & limitations:
* VWAP is session-anchored and best on intraday data. If not applicable on the selected calculation TF, the script automatically falls back to EMA.
* Default parameters (SMA(20) for BB/KC, multipliers 2.0, SMA(5) smoothing, trend logic and bar painting) preserve the original appearance.
Release notes:
v6.0 — Rewritten in Pine v6 with structured inputs and guards. Multi-MA support (SMA/EMA/WMA/RMA/HMA/VWMA/VWAP). Calculation timeframe via request.security() for multi-TF workflows. Safe division; optional zero line; optional true Blue color. Original visuals and behavior preserved by default.

- **Limitation**: Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
## Entry and Exit Strategies
### Dual-Channel System
A key innovation of the Bober XM is its dual-channel approach:
- **Independent Parameters**: Each trade direction has its own channel settings
- **Asymmetric Trading**: Recognizes that markets often behave differently in uptrends versus downtrends
- **Optimized Performance**: Fine-tune settings for both bullish and bearish conditions
This approach allows the bot to adapt to the natural asymmetry of markets, where uptrends often develop gradually while downtrends can be sharp and sudden.
### Channel Types
#### 1. Keltner Channels
Traditional volatility-based channels using EMA and ATR:
| Setting | Long Default | Short Default |
|---------|--------------|---------------|
| **EMA Length** | 37 | 20 |
| **ATR Length** | 13 | 17 |
| **Multiplier** | 1.4 | 1.9 |
| **Source** | low | high |
- **Strengths**:
- Reliable in trending markets
- Less prone to whipsaws than Bollinger Bands
- Clear visual representation of volatility
- **Weaknesses**:
- Can lag during rapid market changes
- Less effective in choppy, non-trending markets
#### 2. Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA)
Advanced predictive model using kernel regression (RBF kernel):
| Setting | Description | Options |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| **Source MA** | Price data used for MA calculations | Any price source (low/high/close/etc.) |
| **Moving Average Type** | Type of MA algorithm for calculations | SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA |
| **Trend Source** | Price data used for trend determination | Any price source (close default) |
| **Window Size** | Historical window for MLMA calculations | 5+ (default: 16) |
| **Forecast Length** | Number of bars to forecast ahead | 1+ (default: 3) |
| **Noise Parameter** | Controls smoothness of prediction | 0.01+ (default: ~0.43) |
| **Band Multiplier** | Multiplier for channel width | 0.1+ (default: 0.5-0.6) |
- **Strengths**:
- Predictive rather than reactive
- Adapts quickly to changing market conditions
- Better at identifying trend reversals early
- **Weaknesses**:
- More computationally intensive
- Requires careful parameter tuning
- Can be sensitive to input data quality
### Entry Strategies
| Strategy | Description | Ideal Market Conditions |
|----------|-------------|-------------------------|
| **Breakout** | Enters when price breaks through channel bands, indicating strong momentum | High volatility, emerging trends |
| **Pullback** | Enters when price retraces to the middle band after testing extremes | Established trends with regular pullbacks |
| **Mean Reversion** | Enters at channel extremes, betting on a return to the mean | Range-bound or oscillating markets |
#### Breakout Strategy (Default)
- **Implementation**: Enters long when price crosses above the upper band, short when price crosses below the lower band
- **Strengths**: Captures strong momentum moves, performs well in trending markets
- **Weaknesses**: Can lead to late entries, higher risk of false breakouts
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Increase channel multiplier for fewer but more reliable signals
- Combine with volume confirmation for better accuracy
#### Pullback Strategy
- **Implementation**: Enters long when price pulls back to middle band during uptrend, short during downtrend pullbacks
- **Strengths**: Better entry prices, lower risk, higher probability setups
- **Weaknesses**: Misses some strong moves, requires clear trend identification
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Use with trend filters to confirm overall direction
- Adjust middle band calculation for market volatility
#### Mean Reversion Strategy
- **Implementation**: Enters long at lower band, short at upper band, expecting price to revert to the mean
- **Strengths**: Excellent entry prices, works well in ranging markets
- **Weaknesses**: Dangerous in strong trends, can lead to fighting the trend
- **Optimization Tips**:
- Implement strong trend filters to avoid counter-trend trades
- Use smaller position sizes due to higher risk nature
### Confirmation Indicators
#### Pivot Point SuperTrend
Combines pivot points with ATR-based SuperTrend for trend confirmation:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Pivot Period** | 25 |
| **ATR Factor** | 2.2 |
| **ATR Period** | 41 |
- **Function**: Identifies significant market turning points and confirms trend direction
- **Implementation**: Requires price to respect the SuperTrend line for trade confirmation
#### Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Provides additional confirmation layer for entries:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Period** | 15 |
| **Source** | ohlc4 (average of Open, High, Low, Close) |
- **Function**: Confirms trend direction and filters out low-quality signals
- **Implementation**: Price must be above WMA for longs, below for shorts
### Exit Strategies
#### On-Balance Volume (OBV) Based Exits
Uses volume flow to identify potential reversals:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Source** | ohlc4 |
| **MA Type** | HMA (Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, HMA) |
| **Period** | 22 |
- **Function**: Identifies divergences between price and volume to exit before reversals
- **Implementation**: Exits when OBV crosses its moving average in the opposite direction
- **Customizable MA Type**: Different MA types provide varying sensitivity to OBV changes:
- **SMA**: Traditional simple average, equal weight to all periods
- **EMA**: More weight to recent data, responds faster to price changes
- **WMA**: Weighted by recency, smoother than EMA
- **RMA**: Similar to EMA but smoother, reduces noise
- **VWMA**: Factors in volume, helpful for OBV confirmation
- **HMA**: Reduces lag while maintaining smoothness (default)
#### ADX Exit Confirmation
Uses Average Directional Index to confirm trend exhaustion:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **ADX Threshold** | 35 |
| **ADX Smoothing** | 60 |
| **DI Length** | 60 |
- **Function**: Confirms trend weakness before exiting positions
- **Implementation**: Requires ADX to drop below threshold or DI lines to cross
## Filter System

## Risk Management System
### Position Sizing
Automatically calculates position size based on account equity and risk parameters:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Risk % of Equity** | 50% |
- **Implementation**:
- Position size = (Account equity × Risk %) ÷ (Entry price × Stop loss distance)
- Adjusts automatically based on volatility and stop placement
- **Best Practices**:
- Start with lower risk percentages (1-2%) until strategy is proven
- Consider reducing risk during high volatility periods
### Stop-Loss Methods
Multiple stop-loss calculation methods with separate configurations for long and short positions:
| Method | Description | Configuration |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| **ATR-Based** | Dynamic stops based on volatility | ATR Period: 14, Multiplier: 2.0 |
| **Percentage** | Fixed percentage from entry | Long: 1.5%, Short: 1.5% |
| **PIP-Based** | Fixed currency unit distance | 10.0 pips |
- **Implementation Notes**:
- ATR-based stops adapt to changing market volatility
- Percentage stops maintain consistent risk exposure
- PIP-based stops provide precise control in stable markets
### Trailing Stops
Locks in profits by adjusting stop-loss levels as price moves favorably:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Stop-Loss %** | 1.5% |
| **Activation Threshold** | 2.1% |
| **Trailing Distance** | 1.4% |
- **Implementation**:
- Initial stop remains fixed until profit reaches activation threshold
- Once activated, stop follows price at specified distance
- Locks in profit while allowing room for normal price fluctuations
### Risk-Reward Parameters
Defines the relationship between risk and potential reward:
| Setting | Default Value |
|---------|---------------|
| **Risk-Reward Ratio** | 1.4 |
| **Take Profit %** | 2.4% |
| **Stop-Loss %** | 1.5% |
- **Implementation**:
- Take profit distance = Stop loss distance × Risk-reward ratio
- Higher ratios require fewer winning trades for profitability
- Lower ratios increase win rate but reduce average profit
### Filter Combinations
The strategy allows for simultaneous application of multiple filters:
- **Recommended Combinations**:
- Trending markets: RSI + KEMAD filters
- Ranging markets: Bollinger Bands + Volatility filters
- All markets: Volume filter as minimum requirement
- **Performance Impact**:
- Each additional filter reduces the number of trades
- Quality of remaining trades typically improves
- Optimal combination depends on market conditions and timeframe
### Multi-Timeframe Filter Applications
| Filter Type | Current Timeframe | MTF1 (15min) | MTF2 (4h) |
|-------------|-------------------|-------------|------------|
| RSI | Quick entries/exits | Intraday trend | Overall trend |
| Volume | Immediate liquidity | Sustained support | Market participation |
| Volatility | Entry timing | Short-term risk | Regime changes |

## Conclusion
The ₿ober XM v2.0 represents a significant evolution in trading strategy design, combining traditional technical analysis with machine learning elements and multi-timeframe analysis. The core strength of this system lies in its adaptability and recognition of market asymmetry.
### Market Asymmetry and Adaptive Approach
The strategy acknowledges a fundamental truth about markets: bullish and bearish phases behave differently and should be treated as distinct environments. The dual-channel system with separate parameters for long and short positions directly addresses this asymmetry, allowing for optimized performance regardless of market direction.
### Targeted Backtesting Philosophy
It's counterproductive to run backtests over excessively long periods. Markets evolve continuously, and strategies that worked in previous market regimes may be ineffective in current conditions. Instead:
- Test specific market phases separately (bull markets, bear markets, range-bound periods)
- Regularly re-optimize parameters as market conditions change
- Focus on recent performance with higher weight than historical results
- Test across multiple timeframes to ensure robustness
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis as a Game-Changer
The integration of multi-timeframe analysis fundamentally transforms the strategy's effectiveness:
- **Increased Safety**: Higher timeframe confirmations reduce false signals and improve trade quality
- **Context Awareness**: Decisions made with awareness of larger trends reduce adverse entries
- **Adaptable Precision**: Apply strict filters on lower timeframes while maintaining awareness of broader conditions
- **Reduced Noise**: Higher timeframe data naturally filters market noise that can trigger poor entries
The ₿ober XM v2.0 provides traders with a framework that acknowledges market complexity while offering practical tools to navigate it. With proper setup, realistic expectations, and attention to changing market conditions, it delivers a sophisticated approach to systematic trading that can be continuously refined and optimized.
DynamicMALibrary "DynamicMA"
Dynamic Moving Averages Library
Introduction
The Dynamic Moving Averages Library is a specialized collection of custom built functions designed to calculate moving averages dynamically, beginning from the first available bar. Unlike standard moving averages, which rely on fixed length lookbacks, this library ensures that indicators remain fully functional from the very first data point, making it an essential tool for analysing assets with short time series or limited historical data.
This approach allows traders and developers to build robust indicators that do not require a preset amount of historical data before generating meaningful outputs. It is particularly advantageous for:
Newly listed assets with minimal price history.
High-timeframe trading, where large lookback periods can lead to delayed or missing data.
By eliminating the constraints of fixed lookback periods, this library enables the seamless construction of trend indicators, smoothing functions, and hybrid models that adapt instantly to market conditions.
Comprehensive Set of Custom Moving Averages
The library includes a wide range of custom dynamic moving averages, each designed for specific analytical use cases:
SMA (Simple Moving Average) – The fundamental moving average, dynamically computed.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) – Adaptive smoothing for better trend tracking.
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) – Faster trend detection with reduced lag.
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) – Even more responsive than DEMA.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) – Emphasizes recent price action while reducing noise.
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average) – Accounts for volume to give more weight to high-volume periods.
HMA (Hull Moving Average) – A superior smoothing method with low lag.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average) – A hybrid approach between SMA and EMA.
LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) – Uses linear regression for trend detection.
RMA (Relative Moving Average) – Used in RSI-based calculations for smooth momentum readings.
ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) – A Gaussian-weighted MA for superior signal clarity.
Hyperbolic MA (HyperMA) – A mathematically optimized averaging method with dynamic weighting.
Each function dynamically adjusts its calculation length to match the available bar count, ensuring instant functionality on all assets.
Fully Optimized for Pine Script v6
This library is built on Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility with modern TradingView indicators and scripts. It includes exportable functions for seamless integration into custom indicators, making it easy to develop trend-following models, volatility filters, and adaptive risk-management systems.
Why Use Dynamic Moving Averages?
Traditional moving averages suffer from a common limitation: they require a fixed historical window to generate meaningful values. This poses several problems:
New Assets Have No Historical Data - If an asset has only been trading for a short period, traditional moving averages may not be able to generate valid signals.
High Timeframes Require Massive Lookbacks - On 1W or 1M charts, a 200-period SMA would require 200 weeks or months of data, making it unusable on newer assets.
Delayed Signal Initialization - Standard indicators often take dozens of bars to stabilize, reducing effectiveness when trading new trends.
The Dynamic Moving Averages Library eliminates these issues by ensuring that every function:
Starts calculation from bar one, using available data instead of waiting for a lookback period.
Adapts dynamically across timeframes, making it equally effective on low or high timeframes.
Allows smoother, more responsive trend tracking, particularly useful for volatile or low-liquidity assets.
This flexibility makes it indispensable for custom script developers, quantitative analysts, and discretionary traders looking to build more adaptive and resilient indicators.
Final Summary
The Dynamic Moving Averages Library is a versatile and powerful set of functions designed to overcome the limitations of fixed-lookback indicators. By dynamically adjusting the calculation length from the first bar, this library ensures that moving averages remain fully functional across all timeframes and asset types, making it an essential tool for traders and developers alike.
With built-in adaptability, low-lag smoothing, and support for multiple moving average types, this library unlocks new possibilities for quantitative trading and strategy development - especially for assets with short price histories or those traded on higher timeframes.
For traders looking to enhance signal reliability, minimize lag, and build adaptable trading systems, the Dynamic Moving Averages Library provides an efficient and flexible solution.

RSI Classic calculationClassic RSI with Moving Average
This script implements the Classic RSI (Relative Strength Index) method with the option to use either an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or a Simple Moving Average (SMA) for smoothing the gains and losses. This custom implementation primarily aims to resolve a specific issue I encountered when cross-referencing RSI values with Python-based data, which is calculated differently than in Pine Script. However, the methodology here can benefit anyone who needs to align RSI calculations across different programming languages or platforms.
The Problem:
When working with Python for data analysis, the RSI values are calculated differently. The smoothing method, for example, can vary—RMA (Relative Moving Average) may be used instead of SMA or EMA, resulting in discrepancies when comparing RSI values across systems. To solve this problem, this script allows for the same type of smoothing to be applied (EMA or SMA) as used in Python, ensuring consistency in the data.
Why This Implementation:
The main goal of this approach was to align RSI calculations across Python and Pine Script so that I could cross-check the results accurately. By offering both EMA and SMA options, this script bridges the gap between Pine Script and Python, ensuring that the data is comparable and consistent. While this particular issue arose from my work with Python, this solution is valuable for anyone dealing with cross-platform RSI comparisons in different coding languages or systems.
Benefits:
Cross-Platform Consistency: This script ensures that RSI values calculated in Pine Script are directly comparable to those from Python (or any other platform), which is crucial for accurate analysis, especially in automated trading systems.
Flexibility: The ability to choose between EMA and SMA provides flexibility in line with the specific needs of your strategy or data source.
Ease of Use: The RSI is plotted with overbought and oversold levels clearly marked, making it easy to visualize and use in decision-making processes.
Limitations:
Calculation Differences: While this script bridges the gap between Pine Script and Python, if you're working with a different platform or coding language that uses variations like RMA, small discrepancies may still arise.
Sensitivity Trade-Off: The choice between EMA and SMA impacts the sensitivity of the RSI. EMA responds quicker to recent price changes, which could lead to faster signals, while SMA provides a more stable but slower response.
Conclusion:
This Classic RSI script, with its customizable moving average type (EMA or SMA), not only solves the issue I faced with Python-based calculations but also provides a solution for anyone needing consistency across different programming languages and platforms. Whether you're working with Pine Script, Python, or other languages, this script ensures that your RSI values are aligned for more accurate cross-platform analysis. However, always be mindful of the small differences that can arise when different smoothing techniques (like RMA) are used in other systems.
Mean Trend OscillatorMean Trend Oscillator
The Mean Trend Oscillator offers an original approach to trend analysis by integrating multiple technical indicators, using statistic to get a probable signal, and dynamically adapting to market volatility.
This tool aggregates signals from four popular indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Relative Moving Average (RMA)—and adjusts thresholds using the Average True Range (ATR). By using this, we can use Statistics to aggregate or take the average of each indicators signal. Mathematically, Taking an average of these indicators gives us a better probability on entering a trending state.
By consolidating these distinct perspectives, the Mean Trend Oscillator provides a comprehensive view of market direction, helping traders make informed decisions based on a broad, data-driven trend assessment. Traders can use this indicator to enter long spot or leveraged positions. The Mean Trend Oscillator is intended to be use in long term trending markets. Scalping MUST NOT be used with this indicator. (This indicator will give false signals when the Timeframe is too low. The best intended use for high-quality signals are longer timeframes).
The current price of a beginning trend series may tell us something about the next move. Thus, the Mean Trend Oscillator allows us to spot a high probability trending market and potentially exploit this information enter long or shorts strategy. (again, this indicator will give false signals when the Timeframe is too low. The best intended use for high-quality signals are longer timeframes).
Concept and Calculation and Inputs
The Mean Trend Oscillator calculates a “net trend” score as follows:
RSI evaluates market momentum, identifying overbought and oversold conditions, essential for confirming trend direction.
SMA, EMA, and RMA introduce varied smoothing methods to capture short- to medium-term trends, balancing quick price changes with smoothed averages.
ATR-Enhanced Thresholds: ATR is used as a dynamic multiplier, adjusting each indicator’s thresholds to current volatility levels, which helps reduce noise in low-volatility conditions and emphasizes significant signals when volatility spikes.
Length could be used to adjust how quickly each indicator can more or how slower each indicator can be.
Time Coherency for Inputs: Each indicator must be calculated where each signal is relatively around the same area.
For example:
Simply:
SMA, RMA, EMA, and RSI enters long around each intended trend period. Doesn't have to be perfect, but the indicators all enter long around there.
Each indicator contributes a score (+1 for bullish and -1 for bearish), and these scores are averaged to generate the final trend score:
A positive score, shown as a green line, suggests bullish conditions.
A negative score, indicated by a red line, signifies bearish conditions.
Thus, giving us a signal to long or short.
How to Use the Mean Trend Oscillator
This indicator’s output is straightforward and can fit into various trading strategies:
Bullish Signal: A green line shows that the trend is bullish, based on a positive average score across the indicators, signaling a consideration of longing an asset.
Bearish Signal: A red line indicates bearish conditions, with an overall negative trend score, signaling a consideration to shorting an asset.
By aggregating these indicators, the Mean Trend Oscillator helps traders identify strong trends while filtering out minor fluctuations, making it a versatile tool for both short- and long-term analysis. This multi-layered, adaptive approach to trend detection sets it apart from traditional single-indicator trend tools.
Average True Range Trailing Mean [Alifer]Upgrade of the Average True Range default indicator by TradingView. It adds and plots a trailing mean to show periods of increased volatility more clearly.
ATR TRAILING MEAN
A trailing mean, also known as a moving average, is a statistical calculation used to smooth out data over time and identify trends or patterns in a time series.
In our indicator, it clearly shows when the ATR value spikes outside of it's average range, making it easier to identify periods of increased volatility.
Here's how the ATR Trailing Mean (atr_mean) is calculated:
atr_mean = ta.cum(atr) / (bar_index + 1) * atr_mult
The ta.cum() function calculates the cumulative sum of the ATR over all bars up to the current bar.
(bar_index + 1) represents the number of bars processed up to the current bar, including the current one.
By dividing the cumulative ATR ta.cum(atr) by (bar_index + 1) and then multiplying it by atr_mult (Multiplier), we obtain the ATR Trailing Mean value.
If atr_mult is set to 1.0, the ATR Trailing Mean will be equal to the simple average of the ATR values, and it will follow the ATR's general trend.
However, if atr_mult is increased, the ATR Trailing Mean will react more strongly to the ATR's recent changes, making it more sensitive to short-term fluctuations.
On the other hand, reducing atr_mult will make the ATR Trailing Mean less responsive to recent changes in ATR, making it smoother and less prone to reacting to short-term volatility.
In summary, adjusting the atr_mult input allows traders to fine-tune the ATR Trailing Mean's responsiveness based on their preferred level of sensitivity to recent changes in market volatility.
IMPLEMENTATION IN A STRATEGY
You can easily implement this indicator in an existing strategy, to only enter positions when the ATR is above the ATR Trailing Mean (with Multiplier-adjusted sensitivity). To do so, add the following lines of codes.
Under Inputs:
length = input.int(title="Length", defval=20, minval=1)
atr_mult = input.float(defval=1.0, step = 0.1, title = "Multiplier", tooltip = "Adjust the sensitivity of the ATR Trailing Mean line.")
smoothing = input.string(title="Smoothing", defval="RMA", options= )
ma_function(source, length) =>
switch smoothing
"RMA" => ta.rma(source, length)
"SMA" => ta.sma(source, length)
"EMA" => ta.ema(source, length)
=> ta.wma(source, length)
This will allow you to define the Length of the ATR (lookback length over which the ATR is calculated), the Multiplier to adjust the Trailing Mean's sensitivity and the type of Smoothing to be used for the ATR.
Under Calculations:
atr= ma_function(ta.tr(true), length)
atr_mean = ta.cum(atr) / (bar_index+1) * atr_mult
This will calculate the ATR based on Length and Smoothing, and the resulting ATR Trailing Mean.
Under Entry Conditions, add the following to your existing conditions:
and atr > atr_mean
This will make it so that entries are only triggered when the ATR is above the ATR Trailing Mean (adjusted by the Multiplier value you defined earlier).
ATR - DEFINITION AND HISTORY
The Average True Range (ATR) is a technical indicator used to measure market volatility, regardless of the direction of the price. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder and introduced in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" in 1978. ATR provides valuable insights into the degree of price movement or volatility experienced by a financial asset, such as a stock, currency pair, commodity, or cryptocurrency, over a specific period.
ATR - CALCULATION AND USAGE
The ATR calculation involves three components:
1 — True Range (TR): The True Range is a measure of the asset's price movement for a given period. It takes into account the following factors:
The difference between the high and low prices of the current period.
The absolute value of the difference between the high price of the current period and the closing price of the previous period.
The absolute value of the difference between the low price of the current period and the closing price of the previous period.
Mathematically, the True Range (TR) for the current period is calculated as follows:
TR = max(high - low, abs(high - previous_close), abs(low - previous_close))
2 — ATR Calculation: The ATR is calculated as a Moving Average (MA) of the True Range over a specified period.
The ATR is calculated as follows:
ATR = MA(TR, length)
3 — ATR Interpretation: The ATR value represents the average volatility of the asset over the chosen period. Higher ATR values indicate higher volatility, while lower ATR values suggest lower volatility.
Traders and investors can use ATR in various ways:
Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: ATR can help determine appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels in trading strategies. A larger ATR value might require wider stop-loss levels to allow for the asset's natural price fluctuations, while a smaller ATR value might allow for tighter stop-loss levels.
Identifying Market Volatility: A sharp increase in ATR might indicate heightened market uncertainty or the potential for significant price movements. Conversely, a decreasing ATR might suggest a period of low volatility and possible consolidation.
Comparing Volatility Between Assets: Since ATR uses absolute values, it shouldn't be used to compare volatility between different assets, as assets with higher prices will consistently have higher ATR values, while assets with lower prices will consistently have lower ATR values. However, the addition of a trailing mean makes such a comparison possible. An asset whose ATR is consistently close to its ATR Trailing Mean will have a lower volatility than an asset whose ATR continuously moves far above and below its ATR Trailing Mean. This can help traders and investors decide which markets to trade based on their risk tolerance and trading strategies.
Determining Position Size: ATR can be used to adjust position sizes, taking into account the asset's volatility. Smaller position sizes might be appropriate for more volatile assets to manage risk effectively.
RAINBOW AVERAGES - INDICATOR - (AS) - 1/3
-INTRODUCTION:
This is the first of three scripts I intend to publish using rainbow indicators. This script serves as a groundwork for the other two. It is a RAINBOW MOVING AVERAGES indicator primarily designed for trend detection. The upcoming script will also be an indicator but with overlay=false (below the chart, not on it) and will utilize RAINBOW BANDS and RAINBOW OSCILLATOR. The third script will be a strategy combining all of them.
RAINBOW moving averages can be used in various ways, but this script is mainly intended for trend analysis. It is meant to be used with overlay=true, but if the user wishes, it can be viewed below the chart. To achieve this, you need to change the code from overlay=true to false and turn off the first switch that plots the rainbow on the chart (or simply move the indicator to a new pane below). By doing this, you will be able to see how all four conditions used to detect trends work on the chart. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
-WHAT IS IT:
In its simplest form, this indicator uses 10 moving averages colored like a rainbow. The calculation is as follows:
MA0: This is the main moving average and can be defined with the type (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE), length, and price source. However, the second moving average (MA1) is calculated using MA0 as its source, MA2 uses MA1 as the data source, and so on, until the last one, MA9. Hence, there are 10 moving averages. The first moving average is special as all the others derive from it. This indicator has many potential uses, such as entry/exit signals, volatility indication, and stop-loss placement, but for now, we will focus on trend detection.
-TREND DETECTION:
The indicator offers four different background color options based on the user's preference:
0-NONE: No background color is applied as no trend detection tools is being used (boring)
1-CHANGE: The background color is determined by summing the changes of all 10 moving averages (from two bars). If the sum is positive and not falling, the background color is GREEN. If the sum is negative and not rising, the background color is RED. From early testing, it works well for the beginning of a movement but not so much for a lasting trend.
2-RAINBW: The background color is green when all the moving averages are in ascending order, indicating a bullish trend. It is red when all the moving averages are in descending order, indicating a bearish trend. For example, if MA1>MA2>MA3>MA4..., the background color is green. If MA1 threshold, and red indicates width < -threshold.
4-DIRECT: The background color is determined by counting the number of moving averages that are either above or below the input source. If the specified number of moving averages is above the source, the background color is green. If the specified number of moving averages is below the source, the background color is red. If all ten MAs are below the price source, the indicator will show 10, and if all ten MAs are above, it will show -10. The specific value will be set later in the settings (same for 3-TSHOLD variant). This method works well for lasting trends.
Note: If the indicator is turned into a below-chart version, all four color options can be seen as separate indicators.
-PARAMETERS - SETTINGS:
The first line is an on/off switch to plot the skittles indicator (and some info in the tooltip). The second line has already been discussed, which is the background color and the selection of the source (only used for MA0!).
The line "MA1: TYP/LEN" is where we define the parameters of MA0 (important). We choose from the types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, SINE) and set the length.
Important Note: It says MA1, but it should be MA0!.
The next line defines whether we want to smooth MA1 (which is actually MA0) and the period for smoothing. When smoothing is turned on, MA0 will be smoothed using a 3-pole super smoother. It's worth noting that although this only applies to MA0, as the other MAs are derived from it, they will also be smoothed.
In the line below, we define the type and length of MAs for MA2 (and other MAs except MA0). The same type and length are used for MA1 to MA9. It's important to remember that these values should be smaller. For example, if we set 55, it means that MA1 is the average of 55 periods of MA0, MA2 will be 55 periods of MA1, and so on. I encourage trying different combinations of MA types as it can be easily adjusted for ur type of trading. RMA looks quirky.
Moving on to the last line, we define some inputs for the background color:
TSH: The threshold value when using 3-TSHOLD-BGC. It's a good idea to change the chart to a pane below for easier adjustment. The default values are based on EURUSD-5M.
BG_DIR: The value that must be crossed or equal to the MA score if using 4-DIRECT-BGC. There are 10 MAs, so the maximum value is also 10. For example, if you set it to 9, it means that at least 9 MAs must be below/above the price for the script to detect a trend. Higher values are recommended as most of the time, this indicator oscillates either around the maximum or minimum value.
-SUMMARY OF SETTINGS:
L1 - PLOT MAs and general info tooltip
L2 - Select the source for MA0 and type of trend detection.
L3 - Set the type and length of MA0 (important).
L4 - Turn smoothing on/off for MA0 and set the period for super smoothing.
L5 - Set the type and length for the rest of the MAs.
L6 - Set values if using 4-DIRECT or 3-TSHOLD for the trend detection.
-OTHERS:
To see trend indicators, you need to turn off the plotting of MAs (first line), and then choose the variant you want for the background color. This will plot it on the chart below.
Keep in mind that M1 int settings stands for MA0 and MA2 for all of the 9 MAs left.
Yes, it may seem more complicated than it actually is. In a nutshell, these are 10 MAs, and each one after MA0 uses the previous one as its source. Plus few conditions for range detection. rest is mainly plots and colors.
There are tooltips to help you with the parameters.
I hope this will be useful to someone. If you have any ideas, feedback, or spot errors in the code, LET ME KNOW.
Stay tuned for the remaining two scripts using skittles indicators and check out my other scripts.
-ALSO:
I'm always looking for ideas for interesting indicators and strategies that I could code, so if you don't know Pinescript, just message me, and I would be glad to write your own indicator/strategy for free, obviously.
-----May the force of the market be with you, and until we meet again,
Non Adaptive Moving Average - Quan DaoThis Non-Adaptive Moving Average (NAMA) is my origin work. It came from the issues that I always face when using existing famous MA like EMA or RMA:
- What length should I choose for the MA for this security?
- Is there a length that works for multiple timeframes?
- Is there a length that works for multiple securities in multiple markets?
Choosing the right length for an MA is a tedious and boring work and is very subjective. One day in early 2023, I decided to create a new MA that will not be dependant a lot (non-adaptive) on the length of it, to make my life a little bit easier. The idea came from the formula of EMA and RMA:
ma = alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * ma
in which,
alpha = 1 / length for RMA
alpha = 2 / (length + 1) for EMA
I decided to use a constant alpha for the formula, which happened to be: 1.618 / 100 (i.e., golden ratio / 100)
This NAMA is using the length in the start only, after running for a while the MA value will be the same for every value of its length, which resolves good my 3 questions above.
The application of this NAMA is wide, I think.
- It can be used like a normal MA but you don't have to choose its length anymore.
- It can be used like EMA in DEMA, TEMA (I called it DNAMA, TNAMA)
- It can be used in calculating some famous indicators (RSI, TR, ...) so that these indicators will not be dependant on the length as well
In this example script, I included an EMA (in blue color) as well so that you can see how the EMA changes and NAMA stays the same when changing the value of its Length.
Degen Dominator - (Crypto Dominance Tool) - [mutantdog]A fairly simple one this time. Another crypto dominance tool, consider it a sequel to Dominion if you will. Ready to go out-of-the-box with a selection of presets at hand.
The premise is straightforward, rather than viewing the various marketcap dominance indexes as their standard percentage values, here we have them represented as basic oscillators. This allows for multiple indexes to be viewed in one pane and gives a decent overview of their relative changes and thus the flow of capital within the overall crypto market. As a general rule-of-thumb, when a plot is above zero then the dominance is climbing, thus capital is likely flowing in that direction. The inverse applies when below zero. When the market is quiet, all will be close to zero. Basic overbought/oversold conditions can also be inferred too.
Active as default are:
Bitcoin (0range): CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D
Ethereum (Blue): CRYPTOCAP:ETH.D
Stablecoins (Red): CRYPTOCAP:USDT.D + CRYPTOCAP:USDC.D
Altcoins (Green): 100 - (all of the above)
These are plotted according to the selected oscillator preset and it's length parameter. The default is set to 'EMA Centre'. An optional RMA(3) smoothing filter is also included and active as default. Each index plot has its own colour and opacity settings available on the main page.
Additionally, the following are also available (deactivated as default):
Total DeFi : CRYPTOCAP:TOTALDEFI.D
Current Symbol : Will try to match corresponding dominance index for the chart symbol if available.
Custom Input : Manual text input, will try to match if available.
-------------
The included presets determine the oscillator type used, all are fairly simple and easy to interpret:
EMA Centre
SMA Centre
Median Centre
Midrange Centre
The first 4 are all variations on the same theme, simply calculated as the difference between the actual value and its respective average. EMA is the default and is my personal preference, if you generally favour using an SMA then perhaps that would be your better choice. Like the two MAs, median and midrange are also dependant on the length parameter. Midrange is calculated from the difference between highest and lowest values within the length period, with a little extra smoothing from an RMA(3).
Simple Delta
Weighted Delta
Running Delta
Often referred to as momentum, delta is just change over time. 'Simple' is the most basic of these, the difference between the current value and the value (length) bars prior. A more long-winded way of calculating this would be to take the difference between each bar and its previous then average them with an SMA which results in the same value. 'Weighted' adopts that principle but instead uses a WMA, likewise 'Running' is the same but using an RMA. The latter is actually the basis of RSI calculations before any normalisation is applied, as you can see in the next preset.
RSI
CMO
RSI really should not need explaining, it is however applied a little differently here to the usual, in this case centred around 0. The x100 multiplication factor has been dropped too for the sake of consistency. The same principle applies with CMO, which is basically a 'Simple Delta' version of RSI.
Hard Floor
Soft Floor
These last two are a little different but both can provide useful interpretations. The floor here is simply the lowest value within the chosen length period. 'Hard' plots the difference between the current value and the floor, thus giving a value that is always above 0. In this case, focus should be given to the relative heights of each with a simple interpretation that capital is flowing into those that are climbing and out of those descending. 'Soft' is essentially the same except that the floor is smoothed with an RMA(3), the result being that when new lows are made, the plot will break below 0 before the floor corrects a few bars later. This soft break provides additional information to that given by 'Hard' so is probably the more useful of the two.
------------
To finish it off, a bunch of preset alerts are included for the various 0 crossings.
So that just about covers everything then, all quite straightforward really. Future updates may include some extra stuff, the composition of the stablecoin index may change if necessary too. While this is not really a tweaker's tool like some of my other projects, there's still some room for experimentation here. The 'current' and 'custom' indexes can provide some useful data for compatible altcoins and the possibility to compare inter-related tokens (eg: Doge vs Shib). While i introduced this as a sort of sequel to Dominion, it is not intended as a replacement but more of a companion. This initially started as a feature intended for that one but it quickly grew into its own thing. Both the oscillator view here and the more traditional view have merits, i personally use this one primarily now but frequently refer to Dominion for confirmations etc.
That's it for now anyway. As always, feedback is welcome below. Enjoy!

Ultimate Strategy Template (Advanced Edition)Hello traders
This script is an upgraded version of that one below
New features
- Upgraded to Pinescript version 5
- Added the exit SL/TP now in real-time
- Added text fields for the alerts - easier to send the commands to your trading bots
Step 1: Create your connector
Adapt your indicator with only 2 lines of code and then connect it to this strategy template.
For doing so:
1) Find in your indicator where are the conditions printing the long/buy and short/sell signals.
2) Create an additional plot as below
I'm giving an example with a Two moving averages cross.
Please replicate the same methodology for your indicator wether it's a MACD , ZigZag , Pivots , higher-highs, lower-lows or whatever indicator with clear buy and sell conditions.
//@version=5
indicator(title='Moving Average Cross', shorttitle='Moving Average Cross', overlay=true, precision=6, max_labels_count=500, max_lines_count=500)
type_ma1 = input.string(title='MA1 type', defval='SMA', options= )
length_ma1 = input(10, title=' MA1 length')
type_ma2 = input.string(title='MA2 type', defval='SMA', options= )
length_ma2 = input(100, title=' MA2 length')
// MA
f_ma(smoothing, src, length) =>
rma_1 = ta.rma(src, length)
sma_1 = ta.sma(src, length)
ema_1 = ta.ema(src, length)
iff_1 = smoothing == 'EMA' ? ema_1 : src
iff_2 = smoothing == 'SMA' ? sma_1 : iff_1
smoothing == 'RMA' ? rma_1 : iff_2
MA1 = f_ma(type_ma1, close, length_ma1)
MA2 = f_ma(type_ma2, close, length_ma2)
// buy and sell conditions
buy = ta.crossover(MA1, MA2)
sell = ta.crossunder(MA1, MA2)
plot(MA1, color=color.new(color.green, 0), title='Plot MA1', linewidth=3)
plot(MA2, color=color.new(color.red, 0), title='Plot MA2', linewidth=3)
plotshape(buy, title='LONG SIGNAL', style=shape.circle, location=location.belowbar, color=color.new(color.green, 0), size=size.normal)
plotshape(sell, title='SHORT SIGNAL', style=shape.circle, location=location.abovebar, color=color.new(color.red, 0), size=size.normal)
/////////////////////////// SIGNAL FOR STRATEGY /////////////////////////
Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title='🔌Connector🔌', display = display.data_window)
Basically, I identified my buy, sell conditions in the code and added this at the bottom of my indicator code
Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title="🔌Connector🔌", transp=100)
Important Notes
🔥 The Strategy Template expects the value to be exactly 1 for the bullish signal, and -1 for the bearish signal
Now you can connect your indicator to the Strategy Template using the method below or that one
Step 2: Connect the connector
1) Add your updated indicator to a TradingView chart
2) Add the Strategy Template as well to the SAME chart
3) Open the Strategy Template settings and in the Data Source field select your 🔌Connector🔌 (which comes from your indicator)
From then, you should start seeing the signals and plenty of other stuff on your chart
🔥 Note that whenever you'll update your indicator values, the strategy statistics and visual on your chart will update in real-time
Settings
- Color Candles: Color the candles based on the trade state ( bullish , bearish , neutral)
- Close positions at market at the end of each session: useful for everything but cryptocurrencies
- Session time ranges: Take the signals from a starting time to an ending time
- Close Direction: Choose to close only the longs, shorts, or both
- Date Filter: Take the signals from a starting date to an ending date
- Set the maximum losing streak length with an input
- Set the maximum winning streak length with an input
- Set the maximum consecutive days with a loss
- Set the maximum drawdown (in % of strategy equity)
- Set the maximum intraday loss in percentage
- Limit the number of trades per day
- Limit the number of trades per week
- Stop-loss: None or Percentage or Trailing Stop Percentage or ATR - I'll add shortly multiple options for the trailing stop loss
- Take-Profit: None or Percentage or ATR - I'll add also a trailing take profit
- Risk-Reward based on ATR multiple for the Stop-Loss and Take-Profit
