Coral Trend Pullback Strategy (TradeIQ)Description:
Strategy is taken from the TradeIQ YouTube video called "I Finally Found 80% Win Rate Trading Strategy For Crypto".
Check out the full video for further details/clarification on strategy entry/exit conditions.
The default settings are exactly as TradeIQ described in his video.
However I found some better results by some tweaking settings, increasing R:R ratio and by turning off confirmation indicators.
This would suggest that perhaps the current confirmation indicators are not the best options. I'm happy to try add some other optional confirmation indicators if they look to be more effective.

Delta Volume Columns Pro [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays volume delta information calculated with intrabar inspection on historical bars, and feed updates when running in realtime. It is designed to run in a pane and can display either stacked buy/sell volume columns or a signal line which can be calculated and displayed in many different ways.
Five different models are offered to reveal different characteristics of the calculated volume delta information. Many options are offered to visualize the calculations, giving you much leeway in morphing the indicator's visuals to suit your needs. If you value delta volume information, I hope you will find the time required to master Delta Volume Columns Pro well worth the investment. I am confident that if you combine a proper understanding of the indicator's information with an intimate knowledge of the volume idiosyncrasies on the markets you trade, you can extract useful market intelligence using this tool.
█ WARNINGS
1. The indicator only works on markets where volume information is available,
Please validate that your symbol's feed carries volume information before asking me why the indicator doesn't plot values.
2. When you refresh your chart or re-execute the script on the chart, the indicator will repaint because elapsed realtime bars will then recalculate as historical bars.
3. Because the indicator uses different modes of calculation on historical and realtime bars, it's critical that you understand the differences between them. Details are provided further down.
4. Calculations using intrabar inspection on historical bars can only be done from some chart timeframes. See further down for a list of supported timeframes.
If the chart's timeframe is not supported, no historical volume delta will display.
█ CONCEPTS
Chart bars
Three different types of bars are used in charts:
1. Historical bars are bars that have already closed when the script executes on them.
2. The realtime bar is the current, incomplete bar where a script is running on an open market. There is only one active realtime bar on your chart at any given time.
The realtime bar is where alerts trigger.
3. Elapsed realtime bars are bars that were calculated when they were realtime bars but have since closed.
When a script re-executes on a chart because the browser tab is refreshed or some of its inputs are changed, elapsed realtime bars are recalculated as historical bars.
Why does this indicator use two modes of calculation?
Historical bars on TradingView charts contain OHLCV data only, which is insufficient to calculate volume delta on them with any level of precision. To mine more detailed information from those bars we look at intrabars , i.e., bars from a smaller timeframe (we call it the intrabar timeframe ) that are contained in one chart bar. If your chart Is running at 1D on a 24x7 market for example, most 1D chart bars will contain 24 underlying 1H bars in their dilation. On historical bars, this indicator looks at those intrabars to amass volume delta information. If the intrabar is up, its volume goes in the Buy bin, and inversely for the Sell bin. When price does not move on an intrabar, the polarity of the last known movement is used to determine in which bin its volume goes.
In realtime, we have access to price and volume change for each update of the chart. Because a 1D chart bar can be updated tens of thousands of times during the day, volume delta calculations on those updates is much more precise. This precision, however, comes at a price:
— The script must be running on the chart for it to keep calculating in realtime.
— If you refresh your chart you will lose all accumulated realtime calculations on elapsed realtime bars, and the realtime bar.
Elapsed realtime bars will recalculate as historical bars, i.e., using intrabar inspection, and the realtime bar's calculations will reset.
When the script recalculates elapsed realtime bars as historical bars, the values on those bars will change, which means the script repaints in those conditions.
— When the indicator first calculates on a chart containing an incomplete realtime bar, it will count ALL the existing volume on the bar as Buy or Sell volume,
depending on the polarity of the bar at that point. This will skew calculations for that first bar. Scripts have no access to the history of a realtime bar's previous updates,
and intrabar inspection cannot be used on realtime bars, so this is the only to go about this.
— Even if alerts only trigger upon confirmation of their conditions after the realtime bar closes, they are repainting alerts
because they would perhaps not have calculated the same way using intrabar inspection.
— On markets like stocks that often have different EOD and intraday feeds and volume information,
the volume's scale may not be the same for the realtime bar if your chart is at 1D, for example,
and the indicator is using an intraday timeframe to calculate on historical bars.
— Any chart timeframe can be used in realtime mode, but plots that include moving averages in their calculations may require many elapsed realtime bars before they can calculate.
You might prefer drastically reducing the periods of the moving averages, or using the volume columns mode, which displays instant values, instead of the line.
Volume Delta Balances
This indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate five volume delta balances and derive other values from those balances. The five balances are:
1 — On Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the Sell volume from the Buy volume on the bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the Buy and Sell volumes, and subtracts the Sell EMA from the Buy EMA.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both Buy and Sell volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of double the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the Sell side is subtracted from the difference for the Buy side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the Buy and Sell EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant Buy and Sell volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's Buy volume does not exceed the EMA of Buy volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the Sell volume with the EMA of Sell volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the Buy and Sell volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final "Relative Balance" value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's Buy/Sell volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant Buy/Sell volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's Buy/Sell volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily you will see the balance flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "On Bar Balance" value, i.e., the volume delta balance on the bar (which can be positive or negative),
over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : It sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
█ FEATURES
The indicator has two main modes of operation: Columns and Line .
Columns
• In Columns mode you can display stacked Buy/Sell volume columns.
• The buy section always appears above the centerline, the sell section below.
• The top and bottom sections can be colored independently using eight different methods.
• The EMAs of the Buy/Sell values can be displayed (these are the same EMAs used to calculate the "Average Balance").
Line
• Displays one of seven signals: the five balances or one of two complementary values, i.e., the "Marker Bias" or the "Combined Balances".
• You can color the line and its fill using independent calculation modes to pack more information in the display.
You can thus appraise the state of 3 different values using the line itself, its color and the color of its fill.
• A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events.
Default settings
Using the indicator's default settings, this is the information displayed:
• The line is calculated on the "Average Balance".
• The line's color is determined by the bull/bear state of the "Percent Balance".
• The line's fill gradient is determined by the advances/declines of the "Momentum Balance".
• The orange divergence dots are calculated using discrepancies between the polarity of the "On Bar Balance" and the chart's bar.
• The divergence levels are determined using the line's level when a divergence occurs.
• The background's fill gradient is calculated on advances/declines of the "Marker Bias".
• The chart bars are colored using advances/declines of the "Relative Balance". Divergences are shown in orange.
• The intrabar timeframe is automatically determined from the chart's timeframe so that a minimum of 50 intrabars are used to calculate volume delta on historical bars.
Alerts
The configuration of the marker conditions explained further is what determines the conditions that will trigger alerts created from this script. Note that simply selecting the display of markers does not create alerts. To create an alert on this script, you must use ALT-A from the chart. You can create multiple alerts triggering on different conditions from this same script; simply configure the markers so they define the trigger conditions for each alert before creating the alert. The configuration of the script's inputs is saved with the alert, so from then on you can change them without affecting the alert. Alert messages will mention the marker(s) that triggered the specific alert event. Keep in mind, when creating alerts on small chart timeframes, that discrepancies between alert triggers and markers displayed on your chart are to be expected. This is because the alert and your chart are running two distinct instances of the indicator on different servers and different feeds. Also keep in mind that while alerts only trigger on confirmed conditions, they are calculated using realtime calculation mode, which entails that if you refresh your chart and elapsed realtime bars recalculate as historical bars using intrabar inspection, markers will not appear in the same places they appeared in realtime. So it's important to understand that even though the alert conditions are confirmed when they trigger, these alerts will repaint.
Let's go through the sections of the script's inputs.
Columns
The size of the Buy/Sell columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, but the coloring mode for tops and bottoms is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Buy/Sell columns are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Seven other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on "Average Balance", for example, you will have bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "On Bar Balance — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar. You can display the averages of the Buy and Sell columns. If you do, its coloring is controlled through the "Line" and "Line fill" sections below.
Line and Line fill
You can select the calculation mode and the thickness of the line, and independent calculations to determine the line's color and fill.
Zero Line
The zero line can display dots when all five balances are bull/bear.
Divergences
You first select the detection mode. Divergences occur whenever the up/down direction of the signal does not match the up/down polarity of the bar. Divergences are used in three components of the indicator's visuals: the orange dot, colored chart bars, and to calculate the divergence levels on the line. The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It precludes any attempt to identify a directional bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by the line's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use. One of the coloring modes for the line's fill uses advances/declines in the line after divergence events.
Background
The background can show a bull/bear gradient on six different calculations. As with other gradients, you can adjust its brightness to make its importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis.
Chart bars
Chart bars can be colored using seven different methods. You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, and you can choose whether you want to show divergences.
Intrabar Timeframe
This is the intrabar timeframe that will be used to calculate volume delta using intrabar inspection on historical bars. You can choose between four modes. The three "Auto-steps" modes calculate, from the chart's timeframe, the intrabar timeframe where the said number of intrabars will make up the dilation of chart bars. Adjustments are made for non-24x7 markets. "Fixed" mode allows you to select the intrabar timeframe you want. Checking the "Show TF" box will display in the lower-right corner the intrabar timeframe used at any given moment. The proper selection of the intrabar timeframe is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors. Note that historical depth will vary with the intrabar timeframe. The smaller the timeframe, the shallower historical plots you will be.
Markers
Markers appear when the required condition has been confirmed on a closed bar. The configuration of the markers when you create an alert is what determines when the alert will trigger. Five markers are available:
• Balances Agreement : All five balances are either bullish or bearish.
• Double Bumps : A double bump is two consecutive up/down bars with +/‒ volume delta, and rising Buy/Sell volume above its average.
• Divergence confirmations : A divergence is confirmed up/down when the chosen balance is up/down on the previous bar when that bar was down/up, and this bar is up/down.
• Balance Shifts : These are bull/bear transitions of the selected signal.
• Marker Bias Shifts : Marker bias shifts occur when it crosses into bull/bear territory.
Periods
Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used to calculate the balances.
Volume Discrepancies
Stock exchanges do not report the same volume for intraday and daily (or higher) resolutions. Other variations in how volume information is reported can also occur in other markets, namely Forex, where volume irregularities can even occur between different intraday timeframes. This will cause discrepancies between the total volume on the bar at the chart's timeframe, and the total volume calculated by adding the volume of the intrabars in that bar's dilation. This does not necessarily invalidate the volume delta information calculated from intrabars, but it tells us that we are using partial volume data. A mechanism to detect chart vs intrabar timeframe volume discrepancies is provided. It allows you to define a threshold percentage above which the background will indicate a difference has been detected.
Other Settings
You can control here the display of the gray dot reminder on realtime bars, and the display of error messages if you are using a chart timeframe that is not greater than the fixed intrabar timeframe, when you use that mode. Disabling the message can be useful if you only use realtime mode at chart timeframes that do not support intrabar inspection.
█ RAMBLINGS
On Volume Delta
Volume is arguably the best complement to interpret price action, and I consider volume delta to be the most effective way of processing volume information. In periods of low-volatility price consolidations, volume will typically also be lower than normal, but slight imbalances in the trend of the buy/sell volume balance can sometimes help put early odds on the direction of the break from consolidation. Additionally, the progression of the volume imbalance can help determine the proximity of the breakout. I also find volume delta and the number of divergences very useful to evaluate the strength of trends. In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady", i.e., relatively low volatility and pauses where price action doesn't look like world affairs are being reassessed. In my personal mythology, this type of trend is often more resilient than high-volatility breakouts, especially when volume balance confirms the general agreement of traders signaled by the low-volatility usually accompanying this type of trend. The volume action on pauses will often help me decide between aggressively taking profits, tightening a stop or going for a longer-term movement. As for reversals, they generally occur in high-volatility areas where entering trades is more expensive and riskier. While the identification of counter-trend reversals fascinates many traders to no end, they represent poor opportunities in my view. Volume imbalances often precede reversals, but I prefer to use volume delta information to identify the areas following reversals where I can confirm them and make relatively low-cost entries with better odds.
On "Buy/Sell" Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities.
Divergences
The divergence detection method used here relies on a difference between the direction of a signal and the polarity (up/down) of a chart bar. When using the default "On Bar Balance" to detect divergences, however, only the bar's volume delta is used. You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement on one bar. This will sometimes be due to the calculation's shortcomings, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it. As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. To your pattern-hungry brain, the divergences displayed by this indicator will — as they do on other indicators — appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering and I have no reliable information that would tend to prove otherwise. Exercise caution when using them. Consequently, I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm of traders in identifying bullish/bearish divergences. For me, the best course of action when a divergence occurs is to wait and see what happens from there. That is the rationale underlying how my divergence levels work; they take note of a signal's level when a divergence occurs, and it's the signal's behavior from that point on that determines if the post-divergence action is bullish/bearish.
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to it and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason — not for window dressing.
█ LIMITATIONS
• This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars — which is not officially supported by TradingView.
It has the advantage of permitting a more robust calculation of volume delta than other methods on historical bars, but also has its limits.
• Intrabar inspection only works on some chart timeframes: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.
The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions.
• When the difference between the chart’s timeframe and the intrabar timeframe is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this.
• All volume is not created equally. Its source, components, quality and reliability will vary considerably with sectors and instruments.
The higher the quality, the more reliably volume delta information can be used to guide your decisions.
You should make it your responsibility to understand the volume information provided in the data feeds you use. It will help you make the most of volume delta.
█ NOTES
For traders
• The Data Window shows key values for the indicator.
• While this indicator displays some of the same information calculated in my Delta Volume Columns ,
I have elected to make it a separate publication so that traders continue to have a simpler alternative available to them. Both code bases will continue to evolve separately.
• All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a pre-determined scale.
• Volume delta being relative, by nature, it is particularly well-suited to Forex markets, as it filters out quite elegantly the cyclical volume data characterizing the sector.
If you are interested in volume delta, consider having a look at my other "Delta Volume" indicators:
• Delta Volume Realtime Action displays realtime volume delta and tick information on the chart.
• Delta Volume Candles builds volume delta candles on the chart.
• Delta Volume Columns is a simpler version of this indicator.
For coders
• I use the `f_c_gradientRelativePro()` from the PineCoders Color Gradient Framework to build my gradients.
This function has the advantage of allowing begin/end colors for both the bull and bear colors. It also allows us to define the number of steps allowed for each gradient.
I use this to modulate the gradients so they perform optimally on the combination of the signal used to calculate advances/declines,
but also the nature of the visual component the gradient applies to. I use fewer steps for choppy signals and when the gradient is used on discrete visual components
such as volume columns or chart bars.
• I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts.
• I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes.

Accumulation/Distribution Volume (ADV) [cI8DH]This is the simplified and optimized version of my original ADV indicator. It shows both regular volume bars and the accumulated/distributed (A/D) portion of them. The equation is elegant and intuitive. It calculates candle body to candle height ratio and multiplies it by volume: volume*(close-open)/(high-low). This is the building block of my three other indicators, ADL, ADP and ADMF.
- The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of A/D and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator).
When money volume is enabled, volume is multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was growing over the past years.
- Blue line is the moving average of A/D and the orange line is for total volume. When "Baseline Chart" option is enabled, this moving average is identical to ADMF indicator which can be a powerful indicator for assessing buy/sell pressure as well as money flow and volume divergences. You can turn off volume bars (from style menu) for better visibility or you can use the below indicators.
Please note that ADMF is now available as a part of ADP indicator as well and I recommend using the latter since ADP can also replace CMF and MFI indicators.
- If you change the aggregation to cumulative (while having money volume disabled), the gray line becomes identical to On Balance Volume (OBV) and the blue line identical to my ADL indicator. The latter I would argue is more accurate than Chaikin's ADL, William's A/D and OBV.
Flow-Weighted Volume Oscillator (FWVO)Volume Dynamics Oscillator (VDO)
Description
The Volume Dynamics Oscillator (VDO) is a powerful and innovative tool designed to analyze volume trends and provide traders with actionable insights into market dynamics. This indicator goes beyond simple volume analysis by incorporating a smoothed oscillator that visualizes the flow and momentum of trading activity, giving traders a clearer understanding of volume behavior over time.
What It Does
The VDO calculates the flow of volume by scaling raw volume data relative to its highest and lowest values over a user-defined period. This scaled volume is then smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA) to eliminate noise and highlight significant trends. The oscillator dynamically shifts above or below a zero line, providing clear visual cues for bullish or bearish volume pressure.
Key features include:
Smoothed Oscillator: Displays the direction and momentum of volume using gradient colors.
Threshold Markers: Highlights overbought or oversold zones based on upper and lower bounds of the oscillator.
Visual Fill Zones: Uses color-filled areas to emphasize positive and negative volume flow, making it easy to interpret market sentiment.
How It Works
The calculation consists of several steps:
Smoothing with EMA: An EMA of the scaled volume is applied to reduce noise and enhance trends. A separate EMA period can be adjusted by the user (Volume EMA Period).
Dynamic Thresholds: The script determines upper and lower bounds around the smoothed oscillator, derived from its recent highest and lowest values. These thresholds indicate critical zones of volume momentum.
How to Use It
Bullish Signals: When the oscillator is above zero and green, it suggests strong buying pressure. A crossover from negative to positive can signal the start of an uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the oscillator is below zero and blue, it indicates selling pressure. A crossover from positive to negative signals potential bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Use the upper and lower threshold levels as indicators of extreme volume momentum. These can act as early warnings for trend reversals.
Traders can adjust the following inputs to customize the indicator:
High/Low Period: Defines the period for volume scaling.
Volume EMA Period: Adjusts the smoothing factor for the oscillator.
Smooth Factor: Controls the responsiveness of the smoothed oscillator.
Originality and Usefulness
The VDO stands out by combining dynamic volume scaling, EMA smoothing, and gradient-based visualization into a single, cohesive tool. Unlike traditional volume indicators, which often display raw or cumulative data, the VDO emphasizes relative volume strength and flow, making it particularly useful for spotting reversals, confirming trends, and identifying breakout opportunities.
The integration of color-coded fills and thresholds enhances usability, allowing traders to quickly interpret market conditions without requiring deep technical expertise.
Chart Recommendations
To maximize the effectiveness of the VDO, use it on a clean chart without additional indicators. The gradient coloring and filled zones make it self-explanatory, but traders can overlay basic trendlines or support/resistance levels for additional context.
For advanced users, the VDO can be paired with price action strategies, candlestick patterns, or other trend-following indicators to improve accuracy and timing.
OBVious MA Indicator [1000X] On Balance Volume (OBV) is a gift to traders. OBV often provides a leading signal at the outset of a trend, when compression in the markets produces a surge in OBV prior to increased volatility.
This indicator demonstrates one method of utilizing OBV to your advantage. I call it the "OBVious MA Indicator ” only because it is simple in its mechanics. The primary utility of the OBVious MA indicator is as a volume confirmation filter that complements other components of a strategy.
Indicator Features:
• The Indicator revolves around the On Balance Volume indicator. OBV is a straightforward indicator: it registers a value by adding total volume traded on up candles, and subtracts total volume on down candles, generating a line by connecting those values. OBV was described in 1963 by Joe Granville in his book "Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits” in which the author argues that OBV is the most vital key to success as a trader, with volume changes are a major predictor of price changes.
• Dual Moving Averages: here we use separate moving averages for entries and exits. This allows for more granular trade management; for example, one can either extend the length of the exit MA to hold positions longer, or shorten the MA for swifter exits, independently of the entry signals.
Execution: long trades are signalled when the OBV line crosses above the Long Entry Moving Average of the OBV. Long exits signals occur when the OBV line crosses under the Long Exit MA of the OBV. Shorts signal occur on a cross below the Short Entry MA, and exit signals come on a cross above the Short Exit MA.
Application:
While this indicator outlines entry and exit conditions based on OBV crossovers with designated moving averages, is is, as stated, best used in conjunction with a supporting cast of confirmatory indicators (feel free to drop me a note and tell me how you've used it). It can be used to confirm entries, or you might try using it as a sole exit indicator in a strategy.
Visualization:
The indicator includes conditional plotting of the OBV MAs, which plot based on the selected trading direction. This visualization aids in understanding how OBV interacts with the set moving averages.
Further Discussion:
We all know the importance of volume; this indicator demonstrates one simple yet effective method of incorporating the OBV for volume analysis. The OBV indicator can be used in many ways - for example, we can monitor OBV trend line breaks, look for divergences, or as we do here, watch for breaks of the moving average.
Despite its simplicity, I'm unaware of any previously published cases of this method. But the concept of applying MAs or EMAs to volume-based indicators like OBV is not uncommon in technical analysisIf, so I expect work like this has been done before. If you know of other similar indicators or strategies, please mention in the comments.
One comparable method uses EMAs of the OBV is QuantNomad’s "On Balance Volume Oscillator Strategy ”. That strategy uses a pair of EMAs on a normalized-range OBV-based oscillator. In that strategy, however, entry and exit signals occur on one EMA crossing the other, which places trades at distinctly different times than crossings of the OBV itself. Both are valid approaches with strength in simplicity.
Note: This is the indicator version of the Strategy found here .
OBVious MA Strategy [1000X Trader]Exploring OBV: The OBVious MA Strategy
Are you using On Balance Volume (OBV) effectively? OBV is a gift to traders. OBV often provides a leading signal at the outset of a trend, when compression in the markets produces a surge in OBV prior to increased volatility.
This strategy demonstrates one method of utilizing OBV to your advantage. I call it the "OBVious MA Strategy ” only because it is so simple in its mechanics. This is meant to be a demonstration, not a strategy to utilize in live trading, as the primary utility of the OBVious MA indicator is as a volume confirmation filter that complements other components of a strategy. That said, I felt useful to present this indicator in isolation in this strategy to demonstrate the power it holds.
Strategy Features:
• OBV is the core signal: this strategy revolves around the On Balance Volume indicator. OBV is a straightforward indicator: it registers a value by adding total volume traded on up candles, and subtracts total volume on down candles, generating a line by connecting those values. OBV was described in 1963 by Joe Granville in his book "Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits” in which the author argues that OBV is the most vital key to success as a trader, as volume changes are a major predictor of price changes.
• Dual Moving Averages: here we use separate moving averages for entries and exits. This allows for more granular trade management; for example, one can either extend the length of the exit MA to hold positions longer, or shorten the MA for swifter exits, independently of the entry signals.
Execution: long trades are taken when the OBV line crosses above the Long Entry Moving Average of the OBV. Long exits occur when the OBV line crosses under the Long Exit MA of the OBV. Shorts enter on a cross below the Short Entry MA, and exit on a cross above the Short Exit MA.
• Directional Trading: a direction filter can be set to "long" or "short," but not “both”, given that there is no trend filter in this strategy. When used in a bi-directional strategy with a trend filter, we add “both” to the script as a third option.
Application:
While this strategy outlines entry and exit conditions based on OBV crossovers with designated moving averages, is is, as stated, best used in conjunction with a supporting cast of confirmatory indicators (feel free to drop me a note and tell me how you've used it). It can be used to confirm entries, or you might try using it as a sole exit indicator in a strategy.
Visualization:
The strategy includes conditional plotting of the OBV MAs, which plot based on the selected trading direction. This visualization aids in understanding how OBV interacts with the set moving averages.
Further Discussion:
We all know the importance of volume; this strategy demonstrates one simple yet effective method of incorporating the OBV for volume analysis. The OBV indicator can be used in many ways - for example, we can monitor OBV trend line breaks, look for divergences, or as we do here, watch for breaks of the moving average.
Despite its simplicity, I'm unaware of any previously published cases of this method. The concept of applying MAs or EMAs to volume-based indicators like OBV is not uncommon in technical analysis, so I expect that work like this has been done before. If you know of other similar indicators or strategies, please mention in the comments.
One comparable strategy that uses EMAs of the OBV is QuantNomad’s "On Balance Volume Oscillator Strategy ", which uses a pair of EMAs on a normalized-range OBV-based oscillator. In that strategy, however, entries and exits occur on one EMA crossing the other, which places trades at distinctly different times than crossings of the OBV itself. Both are valid approaches with strength in simplicity.

Accumulation/Distribution Money Flow [Cyrus c|:D]This indicator should be more accurate than other indicators in its class (including MFI, CMF, ADL, and OBV) for measuring buy/sell pressure, identifying trend change through divergence and calculating Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) level (I will explain why in a separate TA).
This indicator is based on my previous indicator "Accumulation/Distribution Volume". It does not include the volume bars. The volume effect is adjustable as well.
Application:
- Buy/sell pressure: above 0 shows buy pressure, below 0 shows sell pressure.
- Divergence: as shown in the chart above, this indicator diverged from BTC price during swing lows and highs in the shown period.
- Accumulation/distribution: set Aggregation=Sum, Volume Exponent=10 and uncheck Price Factor.
Recommendations:
- Never use SMA
- Use larger length EMA for confirmation of divergence or buy/sell pressure (EMA 27 is equal to RMA 14 which is used in RSI).
. A/D mode is not recommended for hidden divergence.
My Setup:
- I use one instances of this indicator with default settings for buy/sell pressure
- A second instance for A/D level overlaid on the main chart
- One instance of "Accumulation/Distribution Volume" as a replacement for volume indicator
This indicator can also replicate Accumulation/Distribution Line (improved by True Range), On Balance Volume, and Price Volume Trend. Read more details on the description of the previous indicator:
I strongly recommend reading about similar indicators for potential uses e.g. www.tradingview.com(MFI) and www.tradingview.com(PVT)
I will publish a TA about correctly measuring divergence and using these indicators.
Please report any problems you find in the comments.

Relative VolumeHello traders,
"There's nothing new on Wall Street" is an age-old saying that still shows its relevance in modern day financial markets; volume still serves as a valuable tool for any trader just as it did for those that came and succeeded before us; in order to succeed in modern day markets one has to take it up a notch and dabble in complicated topics, like math. Now I dunno about you reader but I’m not keen on sitting around all day just to watch numbers on a screen; it’s pretty important to add some color into your life before it becomes dull but how can someone add colors into their trading toolkit as an aid rather than bother? With a bit of help from 3 other amazing open-source indicators you too can become a statistics enjoyer by combining math and colors to make pattern recognition much more intuitive and offering more peace of mind when trading. “Sir but how?”, glad you didn’t ask, it helps with simplifying statistics, in this case a Gaussian bellcurve
“HUH?”, you say? Alright class, Gaussian bellcurves for math dislikers 101 is in session
- Imagine that we have a bunch of numbers that we want to graph. We could just draw a line and plot the numbers on it, but that might not be very interesting.
- Instead, we can use the shape of a bell to show how many of each number we have.
- Let's say we have a lot of people and we want to graph how tall they are. We would start by making a line from the shortest person to the tallest person, and then we would draw the bell shape around the line.
- The bell shape is called a "Gaussian Bell Curve," and it shows us how many people are a certain height.
- In the middle of the bell, where it's the widest, we have the most people who are about average height. As we move to the sides of the bell, the curve gets lower because there are fewer people who are really tall or really short.
The bell curve discussed is the main idea for the candle coloring component of this indicator as being able to analyze the distribution of an entire dataset, in this case volume, can alert us when volume/participation in the market is away from its average using color, and therefore an opportunity could be present. Fair warning, it’s important to not strictly focus on volume as volume is meant to be confluence to the current structure of the market rather than causing tunnel vision.
Why 3 indicators to combine?
It starts with the RVOL by Mik3Christ3ns3n indicator as the backbone by calculating the average volume over a specified period of time, and then compares each new volume value to this average to determine whether it is above or below the average. The indicator then normalizes the volume data and calculates the z-score/standard deviation to determine whether the volume is within normal range or is an anomaly beyond a specified threshold which can also be set into an alert to aid in eyeing possible opportunities.
The code also includes Candle Coloring by Morty as it calculates a function to get the z-score for the size of the candle's body, and then compares it to the z-score for volume to determine whether the body size is a factor in the price action.
Finally, the code plots the anomalies and the normalized volume data on the chart using the first RVOL indicator mentioned, and colors the bars of the chart based on whether they are within normal range or are anomalies which comes from using code from veryfid's relative volume indicator.
Overall, this custom technical indicator is best used to identify unusual changes in trading volume, which may indicate potential price movements in the underlying.
How about some examples?
This first example is for my scalpers wanting to get in and out but not having much of an idea where or let alone how; using a tool like VWAP can be great for determining the area value to execute mean reversion trades once a speculator spots a colored candle anomaly at standard deviation band. Works best when VWAP is flat as it signals lack of conviction from both bulls and bears
This second example is for my fire and forget intraweek swing traders who want to execute a higher timeframe trend-following bias. A speculator starting 2023 off notices that the negative sentiment around Binance from late last year has quieted down and has conviction in upside after BTC began an uptrend as monthly VWAP (right chart) has began sloping up as well as a rally with momentum shown with the blue colored candle so the trader waits wait for a pullback for entry. On the chart to the left of the 4H the speculator notices a pullback into the area of interest to do business so a limit bid is left to enter for continued upside in Bitcoin through January 2023 just by keeping things simple
That’s really the main purpose of this indicator: simplicity of statistics for confluence using volume
Volume precedes price and price moves only for narrative to follow- why wait for your subjective Twitter timeline to give you a biased narrative to trade when you can use objective analysis by combining statistics and colors to allow for a cleaner execution process
“But what about risk management?” Glad you didn’t ask reader!
One last example then, we meet our trend following trader again feeling euphoric so they know profit taking season is coming soon but wants to leave emotion out of it. How to go about it? Same idea as our last trend following example: we see on the 4h chart to the right side shows Bitcoin lose and trade back within the 2nd standard deviation of quarterly VWAP which is telling our speculator that the uptrend has broken on top of which notices on the 30 minute chart on the left that aggressive market buyers have been steadily absorbed by limit sellers on multiple occasions of retesting 30,500 shown with the green colored candles and volume bars below, time to sell.
Turns out that selling was proactive risk management because price dumped thereafter
Hope this explanation gave you some useful insights on using statistics as colors from cherrypicked examples, remember that just because my examples are cherrypicked doesn’t invalidate these concepts at all as the market only does two things, initiate aggressive auctions and respond passively to auctions. This tool makes for seeing where that initiative aggressive activity is happening much simpler to deduce if others will respond to an anomaly of initiative aggressive activity or if the aggression will continue.
If there’s just one thing you take from this- simplicity above all, cheers and good luck
Inside BarsInside Bars Indicator
Description:
This indicator identifies and highlights price action patterns where a bar's high and low
are completely contained within the previous bar's range. Inside bars are significant
technical patterns that often signal a period of price consolidation or uncertainty,
potentially leading to a breakout in either direction.
Trading Literature & Theory:
Inside bars are well-documented in technical analysis literature:
- Steve Nison discusses them in "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" as a form
of harami pattern, indicating potential trend reversals
- Thomas Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns" categorizes inside bars as
a consolidation pattern with statistical significance for breakout trading
- Alexander Elder references them in "Trading for a Living" as indicators of
decreasing volatility and potential energy build-up
- John Murphy's "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" includes inside bars
as part of price action analysis for market psychology understanding
The pattern is particularly significant because it represents:
1. Volatility Contraction: A narrowing of price range indicating potential energy build-up
2. Institutional Activity: Often shows large players absorbing or distributing positions
3. Decision Point: Market participants evaluating the previous bar's significance
Trading Applications:
1. Breakout Trading
- Watch for breaks above the parent bar's high (bullish signal)
- Monitor breaks below the parent bar's low (bearish signal)
- Multiple consecutive inside bars can indicate stronger breakout potential
2. Market Psychology
- Inside bars represent a period of equilibrium between buyers and sellers
- Shows market uncertainty and potential energy building up
- Often precedes significant price movements
Best Market Conditions:
- Trending markets approaching potential reversal points
- After strong momentum moves where the market needs to digest gains
- Near key support/resistance levels
- During pre-breakout consolidation phases
Complementary Indicators:
- Volume indicators to confirm breakout strength
- Trend indicators (Moving Averages, ADX) for context
- Momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) for additional confirmation
Risk Management:
- Use parent bar's range for stop loss placement
- Wait for breakout confirmation before entry
- Consider time-based exits if breakout doesn't occur
- More reliable on higher timeframes
Note: The indicator works best when combined with proper risk management
and overall market context analysis. Avoid trading every inside bar pattern
and always confirm with volume and other technical indicators.
Advanced Physics Financial Indicator Each component represents a scientific theory and is applied to the price data in a way that reflects key principles from that theory.
Detailed Explanation
1. Fractal Geometry - High/Low Signal
Concept: Fractal geometry studies self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales. In markets, fractals can be used to detect recurring patterns or turning points.
Implementation: The script detects pivot highs and lows using ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow, representing local turning points in price. The fractalSignal is set to 1 for a pivot high, -1 for a pivot low, and 0 if there is no signal. This logic reflects the cyclical, self-similar nature of price movements.
Practical Use: This signal is useful for identifying local tops and bottoms, allowing traders to spot potential reversals or consolidation points where fractal patterns emerge.
2. Quantum Mechanics - Probabilistic Monte Carlo Simulation
Concept: Quantum mechanics introduces uncertainty and probability into systems, much like how future price movements are inherently uncertain. Monte Carlo simulations are used to model a range of possible outcomes based on random inputs.
Implementation: In this script, we simulate 100 random outcomes by generating a random number between -1 and 1 for each iteration. These random values are stored in an array, and the average of these values is calculated to represent the Quantum Signal.
Practical Use: This probabilistic signal provides a sense of randomness and uncertainty in the market, reflecting the possibility of price movement in either direction. It simulates the market’s chaotic nature by considering multiple possible outcomes and their average.
3. Thermodynamics - Efficiency Ratio Signal
Concept: Thermodynamics deals with energy efficiency and entropy in systems. The efficiency ratio in financial terms can be used to measure how efficiently the price is moving relative to volatility.
Implementation: The Efficiency Ratio is calculated as the absolute price change over n periods divided by the sum of absolute changes for each period within n. This ratio shows how much of the price movement is directional versus random, mimicking the concept of efficiency in thermodynamic systems.
Practical Use: A high efficiency ratio suggests that the market is trending smoothly (high efficiency), while a low ratio indicates choppy, non-directional movement (low efficiency, or high entropy).
4. Chaos Theory - ATR Signal
Concept: Chaos theory studies how complex systems are highly sensitive to initial conditions, leading to unpredictable behavior. In markets, chaotic price movements can often be captured through volatility indicators.
Implementation: The script uses a very long ATR period (1000) to reflect slow-moving chaos over time. The Chaos Signal is computed by measuring the deviation of the current price from its long-term average (SMA), normalized by ATR. This captures price deviations over time, hinting at chaotic market behavior.
Practical Use: The signal measures how far the price deviates from its long-term average, which can signal the degree of chaos or extreme behavior in the market. High deviations indicate chaotic or volatile conditions, while low deviations suggest stability.
5. Network Theory - Correlation with BTC
Concept: Network theory studies how different components within a system are interconnected. In markets, assets are often correlated, meaning that price movements in one asset can influence or be influenced by another.
Implementation: This indicator calculates the correlation between the asset’s price and the price of Bitcoin (BTC) over 30 periods. The Network Signal shows how connected the asset is to BTC, reflecting broader market dynamics.
Practical Use: In a highly correlated market, BTC can act as a leading indicator for other assets. A strong correlation with BTC might suggest that the asset is likely to move in line with Bitcoin, while a weak or negative correlation might indicate that the asset is moving independently.
6. String Theory - RSI & MACD Interaction
Concept: String theory attempts to unify the fundamental forces of nature into a single framework. In trading, we can view the RSI and MACD as interacting forces that provide insights into momentum and trend.
Implementation: The script calculates the RSI and MACD and combines them into a single signal. The formula for String Signal is (RSI - 50) / 100 + (MACD Line - Signal Line) / 100, normalizing both indicators to a scale where their contributions are additive. The RSI represents momentum, and MACD shows trend direction and strength.
Practical Use: This signal helps in detecting moments where momentum (RSI) and trend strength (MACD) align, giving a clearer picture of the asset's direction and overbought/oversold conditions. It unifies these two indicators to create a more holistic view of market behavior.
7. Fluid Dynamics - On-Balance Volume (OBV) Signal
Concept: Fluid dynamics studies how fluids move and flow. In markets, volume can be seen as a "flow" that drives price movement, much like how fluid dynamics describe the flow of liquids.
Implementation: The script uses the OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator to track the cumulative flow of volume based on price changes. The signal is further normalized by its moving average to smooth out fluctuations and make it more reflective of price pressure over time.
Practical Use: The Fluid Signal shows how the flow of volume is driving price action. If the OBV rises significantly, it suggests that there is strong buying pressure, while a falling OBV indicates selling pressure. It’s analogous to how pressure builds in a fluid system.
8. Final Signal - Combining All Physics-Based Indicators
Implementation: Each of the seven physics-inspired signals is combined into a single Final Signal by averaging their values. This approach blends different market insights from various scientific domains, creating a comprehensive view of the market’s condition.
Practical Use: The final signal gives you a holistic, multi-dimensional view of the market by merging different perspectives (fractal behavior, quantum probability, efficiency, chaos, correlation, momentum/trend, and volume flow). This approach helps traders understand the market's dynamics from multiple angles, offering deeper insights than any single indicator.
9. Color Coding Based on Signal Extremes
Concept: The color of the final signal plot dynamically reflects whether the market is in an extreme state.
Implementation: The signal color is determined using percentiles. If the Final Signal is in the top 55th percentile of its range, the signal is green (bullish). If it is between the 45th and 55th percentiles, it is orange (neutral). If it falls below the 45th percentile, it is red (bearish).
Practical Use: This visual representation helps traders quickly identify the strength of the signal. Bullish conditions (green), neutral conditions (orange), and bearish conditions (red) are clearly distinguished, simplifying decision-making.
Indicator: HawkEye Volume IndicatorHawkEye volume, developed by Nigel Hawks, is supposed to be a premier VSA indicator. Documentation on this is scarce (looks like the training seminars/sessions conducted by the parent company cover this in detail), if you come across any (other than what I have mentioned on that chart) do let me know.
I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial indicator out there as I don't have access to one (noticed the "clone" part? :) ). This is a direct port of a similar MT4 indicator. If you have access to the commercial indicator in another platform, do post some comparison results.
AWR R & LR Oscillator with plots & tableHello trading viewers !
I'm glad to share with you one of my favorite indicator. It's the aggregate of many things. It is partly based on an indicator designed by gentleman goat. Many thanks to him.
1. Oscillator and Correlation Calculations
Overview and Functionality: This part of the indicator computes up to 10 Pearson correlation coefficients between a chosen source (typically the close price, though this is user-configurable) and the bar index over various periods. Starting with an initial period defined by the startPeriod parameter and increasing by a set increment (periodIncrement), each correlation coefficient is calculated using the built-in ta.correlation function over successive ranges. These coefficients are stored in an array, and the indicator calculates their average (avgPR) to provide a complete view of the market trend strength.
Display Features: Each individual coefficient, as well as the overall average, is plotted on the chart using a specific color. Horizontal lines (both dashed and solid) are drawn at levels 0, ±0.8, and ±1, serving as visual thresholds. Additionally, conditional fills in red or blue highlight when values exceed these thresholds, helping the user quickly identify potential extreme conditions (such as overbought or oversold situations).
2. Visual Signals and Automated Alerts
Graphical Signal Enhancements: To reinforce the analysis, the indicator uses graphical elements like emojis and shape markers. For example:
If all 10 curves drop below -0.79, a 🌋 emoji appears at the bottom of the chart;
When curves 2 through 10 are below -0.79, a ⛰️ emoji is displayed below the bar, potentially serving as a buy signal accompanied by an alert condition;
Likewise, symmetrical conditions for correlations exceeding 0.79 produce corresponding emojis (🤿 and 🏖️) at the top or bottom of the chart.
Alerts and Notifications: Using these visual triggers, several alertcondition statements are defined within the script. This allows users to set up TradingView alerts and receive real-time notifications whenever the market reaches these predefined critical zones identified by the multi-period analysis.
3. Regression Channel Analysis
Principles and Calculations: In addition to the oscillator, the indicator implements an analysis of regression channels. For each of the 8 configurable channels, the user can set a range of periods (for example, min1 to max1, etc.). The function calc_regression_channel iterates through the defined period range to find the optimal period that maximizes a statistical measure derived from a regression parameter calculated by the function r(p). Once this optimal period is identified, the indicator computes two key points (A and B) which define the main regression line, and then creates a channel based on the calculated deviation (an RMSE multiplied by a user-defined factor).
The regression channels are not displayed on the chart but are used to plot shapes & fullfilled a table.
Blue shapes are plotted when 6th channel or 7th channel are lower than 3 deviations
Yellow shapes are plotted when 6th channel or 7th channel are higher than 3 deviations
4. Scores, Conditions, and the Summary Table
Scoring System: The indicator goes further by assigning scores across multiple analytical categories, such as:
1. BigPear Score
What It Represents: This score is based on a longer-term moving average of the Pearson correlation values (SMA 100 of the average of the 10 curves of correlation of Pearson). The BigPear category is designed to capture where this longer-term average falls within specific ranges.
Conditions: The script defines nine boolean conditions (labeled BigPear1up through BigPear9up for the “up” direction).
Here's the rules :
BigPear1up = (bigsma_avgPR <= 0.5 and bigsma_avgPR > 0.25)
BigPear2up = (bigsma_avgPR <= 0.25 and bigsma_avgPR > 0)
BigPear3up = (bigsma_avgPR <= 0 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.25)
BigPear4up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.25 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.5)
BigPear5up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.5 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.65)
BigPear6up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.65 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.7)
BigPear7up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.7 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.75)
BigPear8up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.75 and bigsma_avgPR > -0.8)
BigPear9up = (bigsma_avgPR <= -0.8)
Conditions: The script defines nine boolean conditions (labeled BigPear1down through BigPear9down for the “down” direction).
BigPear1down = (bigsma_avgPR >= -0.5 and bigsma_avgPR < -0.25)
BigPear2down = (bigsma_avgPR >= -0.25 and bigsma_avgPR < 0)
BigPear3down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.25)
BigPear4down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.25 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.5)
BigPear5down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.5 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.65)
BigPear6down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.65 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.7)
BigPear7down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.7 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.75)
BigPear8down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.75 and bigsma_avgPR < 0.8)
BigPear9down = (bigsma_avgPR >= 0.8)
Weighting:
If BigPear1up is true, 1 point is added; if BigPear2up is true, 2 points are added; and so on up to 9 points from BigPear9up.
Total Score:
The positive score (posScoreBigPear) is the sum of these weighted conditions.
Similarly, there is a negative score (negScoreBigPear) that is calculated using a mirrored set of conditions (named BigPear1down to BigPear9down), each contributing a negative weight (from -1 to -9).
In essence, the BigPear score tells you—in a weighted cumulative way—where the longer-term correlation average falls relative to predefined thresholds.
2. Pear Score
What It Represents: This category uses the immediate average of the Pearson correlations (avgPR) rather than a longer-term smoothed version. It reflects a more current picture of the market’s correlation behavior.
How It’s Calculated:
Conditions: There are nine conditions defined for the “up” scenario (named Pear1up through Pear9up), which partition the range of avgPR into intervals. For instance:
Pear1up = (avgPR > -0.2 and avgPR <= 0)
Pear2up = (avgPR > -0.4 and avgPR <= -0.2)
Pear3up = (avgPR > -0.5 and avgPR <= -0.4)
Pear4up = (avgPR > -0.6 and avgPR <= -0.5)
Pear5up = (avgPR > -0.65 and avgPR <= -0.6)
Pear6up = (avgPR > -0.7 and avgPR <= -0.65)
Pear7up = (avgPR > -0.75 and avgPR <= -0.7)
Pear8up = (avgPR > -0.8 and avgPR <= -0.75)
Pear9up = (avgPR > -1 and avgPR <= -0.8)
There are nine conditions defined for the “down” scenario (named Pear1down through Pear9down), which partition the range of avgPR into intervals. For instance:
Pear1down = (avgPR >= 0 and avgPR < 0.2)
Pear2down = (avgPR >= 0.2 and avgPR < 0.4)
Pear3down = (avgPR >= 0.4 and avgPR < 0.5)
Pear4down = (avgPR >= 0.5 and avgPR < 0.6)
Pear5down = (avgPR >= 0.6 and avgPR < 0.65)
Pear6down = (avgPR >= 0.65 and avgPR < 0.7)
Pear7down = (avgPR >= 0.7 and avgPR < 0.75)
Pear8down = (avgPR >= 0.75 and avgPR < 0.8)
Pear9down = (avgPR >= 0.8 and avgPR <= 1)
Weighting:
Each condition has an associated weight, such as 0.9 for Pear1up, 1.9 for Pear2up, and so on, up to 9 for Pear9up.
Sum up :
Pear1up = 0.9
Pear2up = 1.9
Pear3up = 2.9
Pear4up = 3.9
Pear5up = 4.99
Pear6up = 6
Pear7up = 7
Pear8up = 8
Pear9up = 9
Total Score:
The positive score (posScorePear) is the sum of these values for each condition that returns true.
A corresponding negative score (negScorePear) is calculated using conditions for when avgPR falls on the positive side, with similar weights in the negative direction.
This score quantifies the current correlation reading by translating its relative level into a numeric score through a weighted sum.
3. Trendpear Score
What It Represents: The Trendpear score is more dynamic as it compares the current avgPR with its short-term moving average (sma_avgPR / 14 periods ) and also considers its relationship with an even longer moving average (bigsma_avgPR / 100 periods). It is meant to capture the trend or momentum in the correlation behavior.
How It’s Calculated:
Conditions: Nine conditions (from Trendpear1up to Trendpear9up) are defined to check:
Whether avgPR is below, equal to, or above sma_avgPR by different margins;
Whether it is trending upward (i.e., it is higher than its previous value).
Here are the rules
Trendpear1up = (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.2) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear2up = (avgPR > sma_avgPR -0.2) and (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.07) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear3up = (avgPR > sma_avgPR -0.07) and (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.03) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear4up = (avgPR > sma_avgPR -0.03) and (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.02) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear5up = (avgPR > sma_avgPR -0.02) and (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.01) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear6up = (avgPR > sma_avgPR -0.01) and (avgPR <= sma_avgPR -0.001) and (avgPR >= avgPR )
Trendpear7up = (avgPR >= sma_avgPR) and (avgPR >= avgPR ) and (avgPR <= bigsma_avgPR)
Trendpear8up = (avgPR >= sma_avgPR) and (avgPR >= avgPR ) and (avgPR >= bigsma_avgPR -0.03)
Trendpear9up = (avgPR >= sma_avgPR) and (avgPR >= avgPR ) and (avgPR >= bigsma_avgPR)
Weighting:
The weights here are not linear. For example, the lightest condition may add 0.1 point, whereas the most extreme condition (e.g., when avgPR is not only above the moving average but also reaches a high proportion relative to bigsma_avgPR) might add as much as 90 points.
Trendpear1up = 0.1
Trendpear2up = 0.2
Trendpear3up = 0.3
Trendpear4up = 0.4
Trendpear5up = 0.5
Trendpear6up = 0.69
Trendpear7up = 7
Trendpear8up = 8.9
Trendpear9up = 90
Total Score:
The positive score (posScoreTrendpear) is the sum of the weights from all conditions that are satisfied.
A negative counterpart (negScoreTrendpear) exists similarly for when the trend indicates a downward bias.
Trendpear integrates both the level and the direction of change in the correlations, giving a strong numeric indication when the market starts to diverge from its short-term average.
4. Deviation Score
What It Represents: The “Écart” score quantifies how far the asset’s price deviates from the boundaries defined by the regression channels. This metric can indicate if the price is excessively deviating—which might signal an eventual reversion—or confirming a breakout.
How It’s Calculated:
Conditions: For each channel (with at least seven channels contributing to the scoring from the provided code), there are three levels of deviation:
First tier (EcartXup): Checks if the price is below the upper boundary but above a second boundary.
Second tier (EcartXup2): Checks if the price has dropped further, between a lower and a more extreme boundary.
Third tier (EcartXup3): Checks if the price is below the most extreme limit.
Weighting:
Each tier within a channel has a very small weight for the lowest severities (for example, 0.0001 for the first tier, 0.0002 for the second, 0.0003 for the third) with weights increasing with the channel index.
First channel : 0.0001 to 0.0003 (very short term)
Second channel : 0.001 to 0.003 (short term)
Third channel : 0.01 to 0.03 (short mid term)
4th channel : 0.1 to 0.3 ( mid term)
5th channel: 1 to 3 (long mid term)
6th channel : 10 to 30 (long term)
7th channel : 100 to 300 (very long term)
Total Score:
The overall positive score (posScoreEcart) is the sum of all the weights for conditions met among the first, second, and third tiers.
The corresponding negative score (negScoreEcart) is calculated similarly (using conditions when the price is above the channel boundaries), with the weights being the same in magnitude but negative in sign.
This layered scoring method allows the indicator to reflect both minor and major deviations in a gradated and cumulative manner.
Example :
Score + = 321.0001
Score - = -0.111
The asset price is really overextended in long term view, not for mid term & short term expect the in the very short term.
Score + = 0.0033
Score - = -1.11
The asset price is really extended in short term view, not for mid term (even a bit underextended) & long term is neutral
5. Slope Score
What It Represents: The Slope score captures the trend direction and steepness of the regression channels. It reflects whether the regression line (and hence the underlying trend) is sloping upward or downward.
How It’s Calculated:
Conditions:
if the slope has a uptrend = 1
if the slope has a downtrend = -1
Weighting:
First channel : 0.0001 to 0.0003 (very short term)
Second channel : 0.001 to 0.003 (short term)
Third channel : 0.01 to 0.03 (short mid term)
4th channel : 0.1 to 0.3 ( mid term)
5th channel: 1 to 3 (long mid term)
6th channel : 10 to 30 (long term)
7th channel : 100 to 300 (very long term)
The positive slope conditions incrementally add weights from 0.0001 for the smallest positive slopes to 100 for the largest among the seven checks. And negative for the downward slopes.
The positive score (posScoreSlope) is the sum of all the weights from the upward slope conditions that are met.
The negative score (negScoreSlope) sums the negative weights when downward conditions are met.
Example :
Score + = 111
Score - = -0.1111
Trend is up for longterm & down for mid & short term
The slope score therefore emphasizes both the magnitude and the direction of the trend as indicated by the regression channels, with an intentional asymmetry that flags strong downtrends more aggressively.
Summary
For each category—BigPear, Pear, Trendpear, Écart, and Slope—the indicator evaluates a defined set of conditions. Each condition is a binary test (true/false) based on different thresholds or comparisons (for example, comparing the current value to a moving average or a channel boundary). When a condition is true, its assigned weight is added to the cumulative score for that category. These individual scores, both positive and negative, are then displayed in a table, making it easy for the trader to see at a glance where the market stands according to each analytical dimension.
This comprehensive, weighted approach allows the indicator to encapsulate several layers of market information into a single set of scores, aiding in the identification of potential trading opportunities or market reversals.

Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator
Title: Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator (DPVO)
### Overview
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" (DPVO) is an advanced trading tool designed to enhance market analysis by integrating volume data with price action. This indicator is specially developed to provide traders with deeper insights into market dynamics, making it easier to spot potential entry and exit points based on volume and price interactions. The DPVO stands out by offering a sophisticated approach to traditional volume analysis, setting it apart from typical volume indicators available on the TradingView platform.
### Unique Features
Unlike traditional indicators that analyze volume and price movements separately, the DPVO combines these two critical elements to offer a comprehensive view of market behavior. By calculating the Volume Impact, which involves the product of the exponential moving averages (EMAs) of volume and the price range (close - open), this indicator highlights significant trading activities that could indicate strong buying or selling pressure. This method allows traders to see not just the volume spikes, but how those spikes relate to price movements, providing a clearer picture of market sentiment.
### Customization and Inputs
The DPVO is highly customizable, catering to various trading styles and strategies:
- **Oscillator Length (`oscLength`)**: Adjusts the period over which the volume and price difference is analyzed, allowing traders to set it according to their trading timeframe.
- **Fast and Slow Moving Averages (`fastMA` and `slowMA`)**: These parameters control the responsiveness of the DPVO. A shorter `fastMA` coupled with a longer `slowMA` can help in identifying trends quicker or smoothing out market noise for more conservative approaches.
- **Signal Smoothing (`signalSmooth`)**: This input helps in reducing signal noise, making the crossover and crossunder points between the DVO and its smoothed signal line clearer and easier to interpret.
### Functionality Details
The DPVO operates through a sequence of calculated steps that integrate volume data with price movement:
1. **Volume Impact Calculation**: This is the foundational step where the product of the EMA of volume and the EMA of price range (close - open) is calculated. This metric highlights trading sessions where significant volume accompanies substantial price movements, suggesting a strong market response.
2. **Dynamic Volume Oscillator (DVO)**: The heart of the indicator, the DVO, is derived by calculating the difference between the fast EMA and the slow EMA of the Volume Impact. This result is then normalized by dividing by the EMA of the volume over the same period to scale the output, making it consistent across various trading environments.
3. **Signal Generation**: The final output is smoothed using a simple moving average of the DVO to filter out market noise. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover and crossunder of the DVO with its smoothed version, providing clear cues for market entry or exit.
### Originality
The DPVO's originality lies in its innovative integration of volume and price movement, a novel approach not typically observed in other volume indicators. By analyzing the product of volume and price change EMAs, the DPVO captures the essence of market dynamics more holistically than traditional tools, which often only reflect volume levels without contextualizing them with price actions. This dual analysis provides traders with a deeper understanding of market forces, enabling them to make more informed decisions based on a combination of volume surges and significant price movements. The DPVO also introduces a unique normalization and smoothing technique that refines the oscillator's output, offering cleaner and more reliable signals that are adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
### Practical Application
The DPVO excels in environments where volume plays a crucial role in validating price movements. Traders can utilize the buy and sell signals generated by the DPVO to enhance their decision-making process. The signals are plotted directly on the trading chart, with buy signals appearing below the price bars and sell signals above, ensuring they are prominent and actionable. This setup is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who rely on timely and accurate signals to maximize their trading opportunities.
### Best Practices
To maximize the effectiveness of the DPVO, traders should consider the following best practices:
- **Market Selection**: Use the DPVO in markets known for strong volume-price correlation such as major forex pairs, popular stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
- **Signal Confirmation**: While the DPVO provides powerful signals, confirming these signals with additional indicators such as RSI or MACD can increase trade reliability.
- **Risk Management**: Always use stop-loss orders to manage risks associated with trading signals. Adjust the position size based on the volatility of the asset to avoid significant losses.
### Practical Example + How to use it
Practical Example1: Day Trading Cryptocurrencies
For a day trader focusing on the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, the DPVO can be an effective tool on a 15-minute chart. Suppose a trader is monitoring Bitcoin (BTC) during a period of high market activity. The DPVO might show an upward crossover of the DVO above its smoothed signal line while also indicating a significant increase in volume. This could signal that strong buying pressure is entering the market, suggesting a potential short-term rally. The trader could enter a long position based on this signal, setting a stop-loss just below the recent support level to manage risk. If the DPVO later shows a crossover in the opposite direction with decreasing volume, it might signal a good exit point, allowing the trader to lock in profits before a potential pullback.
- **Swing Trading Stocks**: For a swing trader looking at stocks, the DPVO could be applied on a daily chart. If the oscillator shows a consistent downward trend along with increasing volume, this could suggest a potential sell-off, providing a sell signal before a significant downturn.
You can look for:
--> Increase in volume - You can use indicators like 24-hour-Volume to have a better visualization
--> Uptrend/Downtrend in the indicator (HH, HL, LL, LH)
--> Confirmation (Buy signal/Sell signal)
--> Correct Price action (Not too steep moves up or down. Stable moves.) (Optional)
--> Confirmation with other indicators (Optional)

### Technical Notes
- **Calculation Efficiency**: The DPVO utilizes exponential moving averages (EMAs) in its calculations, which provides a balance between responsiveness and smoothing. EMAs are favored over simple moving averages in this context because they give more weight to recent data, making the indicator more sensitive to recent market changes.
- **Normalization**: The normalization of the DVO by the EMA of the volume ensures that the oscillator remains consistent across different assets and timeframes. This means the indicator can be used on a wide variety of markets without needing significant adjustments, making it a versatile tool for traders.
- **Signal Line Smoothing**: The final signal line is smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise. The choice of SMA for smoothing, as opposed to EMA, is intentional to provide a more stable signal that is less prone to frequent whipsaws, which can occur in highly volatile markets.
- **Lag and Sensitivity**: Like all moving average-based indicators, the DPVO may introduce a slight lag in signal generation. However, this is offset by the indicator’s ability to filter out market noise, making it a reliable tool for identifying genuine trends and reversals. Adjusting the `fastMA`, `slowMA`, and `signalSmooth` inputs allows traders to fine-tune the sensitivity of the DPVO to match their specific trading strategy and market conditions.
- **Platform Compatibility**: The DPVO is written in Pine Script™ v5, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and functionalities offered by TradingView. This version takes advantage of optimized functions for performance and accuracy in calculations, making it well-suited for real-time analysis.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" is a revolutionary tool that merges volume analysis with price movement to offer traders a more nuanced understanding of market trends and reversals. Its ability to provide clear, actionable signals based on a unique combination of volume and price changes makes it an invaluable addition to any trader's toolkit. Whether you are managing long-term positions or looking for quick trades, the DPVO provides insights that can help refine any trading strategy, making it a standout choice in the crowded field of technical indicators.

First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
The FVE is a pure volume indicator. Unlike most of the other indicators
(except OBV), price change doesn?t come into the equation for the FVE (price
is not multiplied by volume), but is only used to determine whether money is
flowing in or out of the stock. This is contrary to the current trend in the
design of modern money flow indicators. The author decided against a price-volume
indicator for the following reasons:
- A pure volume indicator has more power to contradict.
- The number of buyers or sellers (which is assessed by volume) will be the same,
regardless of the price fluctuation.
- Price-volume indicators tend to spike excessively at breakouts or breakdowns.
