Signs of the Times [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This oscillator calculates the directional strength of bars using a primitive weighing mechanism based on a small number of what I consider to be fundamental properties of a bar. It does not consider the amplitude of price movements, so can be used as a complement to momentum-based oscillators. It thus belongs to the same family of indicators as my Bar Balance , Volume Ticks , Efficient work , Volume Buoyancy or my Delta Volume indicators.
█ CONCEPTS
The calculations underlying Signs of the Times (SOTT) use a simple, oft-explored concept: measure bar attributes, assign a weight to them, and aggregate results to provide an evaluation of a bar's directional strength. Bull and bear weights are added independently, then subtracted and divided by the maximum possible weight, so the final calculation looks like this:
(up - dn) / weightRange
SOTT has a zero centerline and oscillates between +1 and -1. Ten elementary properties are evaluated. Most carry a weight of one, a few are doubly weighted. All properties are evaluated using only the current bar's values or by comparing its values to those of the preceding bar. The bull conditions follow; their inverse applies to bear conditions:
Weight of 1
• Bar's close is greater than the bar's open (bar is considered to be of "up" polarity)
• Rising open
• Rising high
• Rising low
• Rising close
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than that of the previous bar
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than the combined size of wicks
Weight of 2
• Gap to the upside
• Efficient Work when it is positive
• Bar is up and volume is greater than that of the previous bar (this only kicks in if volume is actually available on the chart's data feed)
Except for the Efficient Work weight, which is a +1 to -1 float value multiplied by 2, all weights are discrete; either zero or the full weight of 1 or 2 is generated. This will cause any gap, for example, to generate a weight of +2 or -2, regardless of the gap's size. That is the reason why the oscillator is oblivious to the amplitude of price movements.
You can see the code used to calculate SOTT in my ta library 's `sott()` function.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
No videos explain this indicator and none are planned; reading this description or the script's code is the only way to understand what Signs of the Times does.
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
The default configuration displays:
• An Arnaud-Legoux moving average of length 20 of the instant SOTT value. This is the signal line.
• A fill between the MA and the centerline.
• Levels at arbitrary values of +0.3 and -0.3.
• A channel between the signal line and its MA (a simple MA of length 20), which can be one of four colors:
• Bull (green): The signal line is above its MA.
• Strong bull (lime): The bull condition is fulfilled and the signal line is above the centerline.
• Bear (red): The signal line is below its MA.
• Strong bear (pink): The bear condition is fulfilled and the signal line is below the centerline.
The script's "Inputs" tab allows you to:
• Choose a higher timeframe to calculate the indicator's values. This can be useful to get a wider perspective of the indicator's values.
If you elect to use a higher timeframe, make sure that your chart's timeframe is always lower than the higher timeframe you specified,
as calculating on a timeframe lower than the chart's does not make much sense because the indicator is then displaying only the value of the last intrabar in the chart bar.
• Specify the type of MA used to produce the signal line. Use a length of 1 or the Data Window to see the instant value of SOTT. It is quite noisy, thus the need to average it.
• Specify the type of MA applied to the signal line. The idea here is to provide context to the signal.
• Control the display and colors of the lines and fills.
The first pane of this publication's chart shows the default setup. The second one shows only a monochrome signal line.
Using the "Style" tab of the indicator's settings, you can change the type and width of the lines, and the level values.
█ INTERPRETATION
Remember that Signs of the Times evaluates directional bar strength — not price movement. Its highs and lows do not reflect price, but the strength of chart bars. The fact that SOTT knows nothing of how far price moves or of trends is easy to forget. As such, I think SOTT is best used as a confirmation tool. Chart movements may appear to be easy to read when looking at historical bars, but when you have to make go-no-go decisions on the last bar, the landscape often becomes murkier. By providing a quantitative evaluation of the strength of the last few bars, which is not always easily discernible by simply looking at them, SOTT aims to help you decide if the short-term past favors the bets you are considering. Can SOTT predict the future? Of course not.
While SOTT uses completely different calculations than classical momentum oscillators, its profile shares many of their characteristics. This could lead one to infer that directional bar strength correlates with price movement, which could in turn lead one to conclude that indicators such as this one are useless, or that they can be useful tools to confirm momentum oscillators or other models of price movement. The call is, of course, up to you. You can try, for example, to compare a Wilder MA of SOTT to an RSI of the same length.
One key difference with momentum oscillators is that SOTT is much less sensitive to large price movements. The default Arnaud-Legoux MA used for the signal line makes it quite active; you can use a more quiet SMA or EMA if you prefer to tone it down.
In systems where it can be useful to only enter or exit on short-term strength, an average of SOTT values over the last 3 to 5 bars can be used as a more quiet filter than a momentum oscillator would.
█ NOTES
My publications often go through a long gestation period where I use them on my charts or in systems before deciding if they are worth a publication. With an incubation period of more than three years, Signs of the Times holds the record. The properties SOTT currently evaluates result from the systematic elimination of contaminants over that lengthy period of time. It was long because of my usual, slow gear, but also because I had to try countless combinations of conditions before realizing that, contrary to my intuition, best results were achieved by:
• Keeping the number of evaluated properties to the absolute minimum.
• Limiting the evaluation's scope to the current and preceding bar.
• Choosing properties that, in my view, were unmistakably indicative of bullish/bearish conditions.
Repainting
As most oscillators, the indicator provides live realtime values that will recalculate with chart updates. It will thus repaint in real time, but not on historical values. To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
M-oscillator
Swing Oscillator [AstrideUnicorn]The Swing Oscillator is an indicator that can help you catch small price movements, called swings. Swings are minor trends that occur when price moves between the highs and lows of a trend or range. Because of the short-term nature of swings, a new movement should be identified as soon as possible.
The indicator is based on our original formula, which averages the length of candlestick bodies and compares the result to several thresholds. This allows the algorithm to determine the direction and strength of the price movement.
HOW TO USE
When the indicator is above the zero level and colored green, it means that the price is in an upward swing. When the indicator is below the zero level and colored red, the price is in a downward swing. When the indicator is blue, the price swing is slowing down or the market is moving sideways. The amplitude of the oscillator shows the price volatility.
MA Cross ScreenerThis script lets you pick 20 symbols to check for ma crosses. The way it works is it scans all 20 of your symbols for moving average crosses and then it sends an both a regular alert and a visual alert inside of the indicator. I found that ma cross strategies are very popular right now so I thought it would be nice to have one indicator instead of 20 discord servers. The features include: 20 custom symbols, alerts, custom colors, ma select, and custom time frames. If you want to use the custom time frame option, use the lowest time frame possible. That way you wont have gaps. If you have any comments please voice them, that includes suggestions!
I hope you all find this useful!

Open Close TrendThis is a simple trend indicator that gives you a few options on how to view the data. The way this works is it takes the open, close, high and low and it smooths them with an exponential moving average. Next we smooth a bit with a simple moving average to clear up the data. Finally we normalize everything to the average high and low. With this you can compare the average closing price to the average opening price. If the closing price is greater than the opening price then it is in an up trend and visa versa. You can also find reversals by looking for divergences. I have included a few features in this script including: Normalization, 200ma centering, Background color divergence convergence, histogram to see convergence divergence, and custom colors. I hope you all enjoy this simple release! I know I had fun making this.

Multi-Indicator Divergence ScreenerHere is a new screener for everyone.
I have applied my Better Divergence On Any Indicator logic to scan 3 different indicators and up to 6 different assets at one time. Shoutout to LonesomeTheBlue and QuantNomad for their respective work on divergence and scanner scripts. I've implemented similar logic to put together this scanner.
So far, I have added support for RSI, OBV, MACD, MFI, Stochastic, and FSR, though I'm happy to add more by request. Please note, for simplicity, I have removed the logic to filter for only overbought/oversold divergences. Because this can scan both centered oscillators and non-centered indicators, overbought/oversold does not apply to all of them. I may try to find a way to work in back in later, as time allows.
Personally, I like to find confluences different types of indicators. For instance, agreeable divergence with a centered strength oscillator like RSI and a volume based indicator like OBV gives me more confidence that there will be follow-through.
Like in the Better Divergence script, you can opt to scan for confirmed divergences, potential divergences, or both.
You have the option to show or hide a table that will tell you exactly which assets have divergence, on which indicator they were found, and how many points of divergence were identified. By default, bull divergences will be green, bear will be red, but you can change these base colors to your liking. Confirmed divergences are shown with a solid background, while potentials (if selected) are shown with transparent background. If all 3 of your chosen indicators have divergence in the same direction, the asset name will show in the bull or bear color to highlight the confluence.
Alerts have also been set up to fire on bar close. The message will essentially tell you the same thing the table does, but in condensed format.
You can choose to have alerts fire any time there is any divergence detected across all assets, only when there are divergences on at least 2 of the chosen indicators for a given asset, or limit them to only when all 3 indicators show divergence in agreement.
Bull Bear Power VoidThere are a million oscillators out there based on volume. My biggest problem with them is that they simply tell you whether you have volume to the upside or volume to the down side. it's kind of tricks you with the lack of information into thinking you have a change in your trend or that you're going to be able to break out of a range across a moving average or through some trend line or support and resistance.
However many of these Oscillators are failing because they lacked to tell you one key thing. they tell you that you have volume but they never tell you if it's enough volume.
Even a popular indicator like the MACD can have its MACD Line crossing upwards over the signal, telling you that you have an uptrend but again it's still failing to give you the results of how much volume you have and is it enough volume in that crossover. It boils down to the one key fact that with out volume there is no momentum. This should be able to make trading crossovers a lot easier.
So in today's video I'm going to show you the newest addition to the trading View Community Scripts and it is called,
"The Bull Bear Void Volume Oscillator"
From my own testing, this oscillator can predict weather the next candle will get you the move you need or not.
In the markets you cannot have anything good without volume. after you have volume you have momentum. you cannot have momentum without volume and this is the key thing that causes people to fail when they look for breakouts, trend reversals, or if they're wondering whether this move is a fake out.
This indicator is based on the study volume spread analysis or VSA.
This indicator is designed to be paired perfectly with the Heiken Ashi Algo oscillator.
www.INSERTA-LINK-HERE.com
This indicator is strictly to be used as a confirmation indicator and not to be used by itself to tell you when to buy or sell.
what are its parts.
The void
is a bullish and bearish Cloud that appear extending from the center of words and the center down words. This is the average range of volume. anything that appears to close inside of this void is usually a ranging volume and it is not enough to break the trend or break out.
The MACD and MACD Signal Line
Just like using the macd these two lines indicate whether the trend is moving up for the trend is moving down
The Colored Columns
RED Column - Indicates volume movie downward
Light Red - indicates volume is pulling back from a downward move
Green - indicates volume is moving upwards
Light Green - indicates volume is moving down from an outboard move
Rules for a SELL CONFIRMATION TRADE
The macd line must be underneath the signal line and the macd line must be below the midline.
A bullish column must appear below the midline and it must extend outside of the red void.
if you are using the heikin-ashi Aldo oscillator you must also have a red heiken Ashi candle close below -10.
To do a by trade you simply reverse the rules.
TE ExitsHey guys,
this is a faster version of TE Entries indicator. We recommend to use these two indicators together, because TE Exits indicates trend ending earlier, leaving you with much greater profits!
It consists of two main lines:
1) The main plot line (red)
2) The smoothing line (yellow)
You want to exit long trades when the red line crosses under the yellow line, and exit short trades when the red line crosses above the yellow line.
We also reccomend to use it with EMA (100) to identify long term trend.
Enjoy!
TE EntriesHey guys,
TE Entries is a momentum based oscilator. It calculates current strenght of the market. It consists of two main lines and two levels:
1) The main plot line (yellow)
2) The smoothing line (blue)
- when The main plot line crosses above The smoothing line, it indicates buy signal
- when The main plot line crosses under The smoothing line, it indicates sell signal
3) The upper and lower levels
- when The main plot line makes top above the upper level, or bottom under the lower level, it indicates that the current trend has ended and you should exit your going position (when this happens it doesn´t necessarily mean that the market is about to reverse, the market can also become trendless)
I recommend to use it with my other indicator TE Exits to get out of trades early, and EMA(100) to identify long term trend.
Enjoy!
Divergence BacktesterThere is n number of possible ways in which we can backtest divergence and this is just a start :)
In this script, we are trying to count how many times the pivots made HH, HL, LH, LL after a particular divergence state.
An example of using data is as below:
The script keeps track of each pivot sentiment and resulting next pivot state. As mentioned in the chart snapshot, we can look at two of the previous pivot states and collect stats on how each of these state impacted price action.
As mentioned before, this is just tip of iceberg. Further combinations for which we can do backtest are:
1. m X n combinations of last pivot and last to last pivot divergence state
2. divergence combined with double divergence state.
Only issue to explore further is lack of space on the chart as tables can take up huge space.
PS: As you can see based on historical stats, probability of divergence impacting the change of trend is very low in most cases.
Alpha ADX DI+/DI- V5 by MUNIF SHAIKHMODIFIED ADX DI+/DI- V5
Usage: To use this indicator for entry: when DMI+ crosses over DMI-, there is a bullish sentiment, however ADX also needs to be above 25 to be significant, otherwise the move is not necessarily sustainable.
Inversely, when DMI+ crosses under DMI- and ADX is above 25, then the sentiment is significantly bearish , but if ADX is below 20, the signal should be disregarded.
The line control represents, if the ADX is greater than the line of 25, the price trend is considered strong
FieryTrading: Buy The Dip - Sell The RipDear Tradingview community,
Today I want to share a very powerful, yet easy to use indicator with you. The indicator will find local tops or bottoms and will help you determine when it's a good time to trade a potential reversal.
How does it work?
The indicator makes use of the RSI to detect extremities and waits until the RSI reverses. Furthermore, a long-term moving average is used to determine whether we're in bullish or bearish market conditions. In bullish conditions the indicator will only go long, in bearish conditions the indicator will only go short.
How do I use it?
Favorite the indicator and apply it to your chart! You can add an alert to the indicator to receive a message once it has detected a good point for a reversal trade.
The indicator can be used on all assets and on all timeframes. Personally, I've found the 1 - 4 hourly timeframes to yield the best results.
Good luck!
Stochastic Vix Fix SVIX (Tartigradia)The Stochastic Vix or Stochastic VixFix (SVIX), just like the Williams VixFix, is a realized volatility indicator, and can help in finding market bottoms as well as tops without requiring bollinger bands or any other construct, as the SVIX is bounded between 0-100 which allows for an objective thresholding regardless of the past.
Mathematically, SVIX is the complement of the original Stochastic Oscillator, with such a simple transform reproducing Williams' VixFix and the VIX index signals of high volatility and hence of market bottoms quite accurately but within a bounded 0-100 range. Having a predefined range allows to find markets bottoms without needing to compare to past prices using a bollinger band (Chris Moody on TradingView) nor a moving average (Hesta 2015), as a simple threshold condition (by default above 80) is sufficient to reliably signal interesting entry points at bottoming prices.
Having a predefined range allows to find markets bottoms without needing to compare to past prices using a bollinger band (Chris Moody on TradingView) nor a moving average (Hesta 2015), as a simple threshold condition (by default above 80) is sufficient to reliably signal interesting entry points at bottoming prices.
Indeed, as Williams describes in his paper, markets tend to find the lowest prices during times of highest volatility, which usually accompany times of highest fear.
Although the VixFix originally only indicates market bottoms, the Stochastic VixFix can also indicate good times to exit, when SVIX is at a low value (default: below 20), but just like the original VixFix and VIX index, exit signals are as usual much less reliable than long entries signals, because: 1) mature markets such as SP500 tend to increase over the long term, 2) when market fall, retail traders panic and hence volatility skyrockets and bottom is more reliably signalled, but at market tops, no one is panicking, price action only loses momentum because of liquidity drying up.
Compared to Hesta 2015 strategy of using a moving average over Williams' VixFix to generate entry signals, SVIX generates much fewer false positives during ranging markets, which drastically reduce Hesta 2015 strategy profitability as this incurs quite a lot of losses.
This indicator goes further than the original SVIX, by restoring the smoothed D and second-level smoothed D2 oscillators from the original Stochastic Oscillator, and use a 14-period ZLMA instead of the original 20-period SMA, to generate smoother yet responsive signals compared to using just the raw SVIX (by default, this is disabled, as the original raw SVIX is used to produce more entry signals).
Usage:
Set the timescale to daily or weekly preferably, to reduce false positives.
When the background is highlighted in green or when the highlight disappears, it is usually a good time to enter a long position.
Red background highlighting can be enabled to signal good exit zones, but these generate a lot of false positives.
To further reduce false positives, the SVIX_MA can be used to generate signals instead of the raw SVIX.

Trendmaster - Crypto On-Chain Metric BundleWhat it is:
The ‘Trendmaster Crypto On-Chain Metric Bundle’ is truly a one-of-a-kind bundle. It provides a complete insight into the on-chain dynamics of the entire Crypto asset class, with a multitude of different included indicators providing unique information and data points to give users an edge regardless of ticker, timeframe, or trading style.
What it Does:
Allows you to switch between several different metrics in one place and see specific combined metrics and look at the metrics to take contrarian positions
How to Use it:
Use these metrics to see the on-chain actions in cryptocurrency and play the contrarian. For example, when people are flooding into stablecoins as the price goes down you can see that as a potential buy indicator.
All metrics can be viewed with a Dashboard allowing the user to see all of the information in 1 place.
List of On-Chain Metrics:
To begin with, we have the ‘Trendmaster On-Chain Rating’ – which is our all-in-one, complete on-chain overview metric that can give you an instant insight into the fundamental and underlying strength of any given Crypto asset. It collates the key factors provided by all other indicators within the bundle, weighing in and condensing all of that information into a simple -5 to 5 scale; with a -5 indicating a completely bearish outlook on the asset, and a +5 representing truly great upcoming upside potential. As this indicator is taking into account large amounts of data and statistics to provide an on-chain overview, this value is best taken into consideration on higher timeframes such as the 4hour or daily to provide fundamentally strong buy or sell swing trade opportunities. Extreme rating signals on this indicator are rare but always worth taking into serious consideration.
Secondly, we have the ‘Collated Open Interest Oscillator’ – which gives us a peek into the current outlook of the derivatives market across a wide array of Crypto futures on a number of different exchanges. This indicator provides data on a 0-100 scale, with 100 indicating a substantial and sustained increase in open derivative positions in relation to the underlying market volume. A score of 100 can tell us that a huge amount of traders are trying to position themselves with high leverage in anticipation of a big move, and can often be compared to periods of extreme greed from market participants. On the contrary, a value of 0 shows us that the derivative market is decreasing in volume and therefore open interest is decreasing, which can be likened to periods of extreme fear. This data is only provided at daily intervals, but as incredibly high or low values on this indicator can have an almost instant impact, this indicator is best utilized for medium-term trading and investment decisions.
The ‘Social Sentiment Oscillator' analyses bullish and bearish narratives in relation to a number of large Cryptocurrencies and the market in general, across multiple social media platforms. Rather than a traditional 0-100 ‘Fear & Greed’ index that many may be familiar with, this indicator tracks the changing in sentiment across platforms on a -100 to 100 scale. A score of -100 may not necessarily indicate immediate extreme fear in the market, but instead a huge shift from an incredibly bullish narrative to an incredibly bearish one. Similar to a score of 100, this does not necessarily indicate that the current outlook on social media platforms is currently positive, but rather that a substantial amount of people are altering their views and have become more bullish on a short-term basis. This data is only provided at daily intervals, so make sure to keep an eye on price and sentiment divergences for the best swing trade opportunities to play contrarian to the majority.
Following this is the ‘Miner Confidence Metric’, which provides a long-term overview of the current Crypto miner's outlook. This simple -10 to 10 scale gives us an easy-to-follow bearish to the bullish sentiment of miners. This indicator takes into account the current hash rate, looking at both how it historically compares as well as its rate of decrease/increase; as well as on-chain miner movements to verify their stance on either holding onto their Crypto earnings or preferring to move their coins to exchanges to sell and cover their running costs. Generally speaking, miners can face difficulties operating during times of large market drawdowns, and may be forced into offloading and selling physical and virtual resources to remain afloat – this is indicated by a -10 value at the extreme end, and has historically provided outsized returns for long-term investors accumulating at their demise. Contrary to this, a score of 10 can indicate that miners are not only bullish on the future of crypto, but are likely also expanding operations in anticipation of higher prices in the future. This data is only provided at daily intervals, but on longer-term timeframes provide some of the best long-term accumulation opportunities available to market participants.
Next is the ‘Collated On-Chain Volume’ indicator, which simply monitors a variety of Cryptocurrencies and their underlying on-chain transactional usage. When collating these volumetric data it can provide invaluable insight into the current actions taken by market buyers and sellers and often larger players who can have a big influence on price. Typically when we see large spikes in on-chain usage it indicates substantial levels of accumulation or distribution, which can be made more obvious by observing where we currently are in a market cycle. Large spikes after large and extended periods of drawdown can represent coins transferring from retail to larger players who are often referred to as ‘smart money’; and with large on-chain volume following a substantial bull cycle, this may show us larger players distributing coins to retail. Data can only be fetched at daily intervals, but watch for big spikes to try and position yourself alongside the big players.
We also have the ‘Holder in Profit %’ which as it sounds, is just giving us a percentile value of Crypto traders, investors, and holders who are currently in profit on their positions. Historically speaking, when a majority are at a loss – and buying ‘when there is blood in the streets has been a profitable venture. Considering cutting some of your positions when market exuberance is in full effect and a vast majority of participants are reaping in easy profits. As data is only obtained at daily intervals, using this as a longer-term gauge for where we may be in a cycle is where it is most insightful.
The ‘Long/Short Ratio Crossover’ analyses the current disparity between traders who have positioned themselves in a long position on derivatives markets in comparison to those betting on prices going down. This indicator provides another impressive insight into the fallacy of the herd mentality, and how aiming to be on the opposite side of the masses can often be a profitable venture. A value of 100 can show us that an overwhelming majority of traders are predicting a price increase and are trying to position themselves accordingly, whereas a value of -100 indicates almost all derivative traders are trying to bet on a sizeable market downturn. This metric can be useful for both long-term positions and shorter-term scalping methods of trading and investing, updating on a per-candle basis.
Along with this, the ‘Retail Stablecoin Demand’ looks into the current demand for a number of Crypto stablecoins, aiming to mimic an underlying value close to that of traditional fiat currencies like the US Dollar. This is calculated by analyzing the short to mid-term rush to these ‘safer’ assets by retail traders. Traditionally people will exit their positions in favor of stable assets when they are either currently or are expecting to experience losses. Conversely, when users foresee upcoming profits they are likely to transition into a more ‘risk-on’ thesis and exit their stablecoins for more speculative assets. A value of 100 represents a huge demand for stablecoins, whereas a value of -100 shows that there is currently a lack of interest. Another indication providing a chance to profitably play the contrarian, with figures constantly updating to provide the functionality to all regardless of your trading methodology or investment philosophy.
Lastly the ‘Whale Bubbles’, display overlaying circles of varying size and opacity to represent on-chain activity by larger market players who are transferring a portion of their substantial holding, usually to exchanges to sell. These bubbles are placed over price action to clearly see the point at which the transaction occurred. We can also lower the minimum requirement of what is defined as a ‘whale movement’ by increasing the sensitivity within the indicator settings and subsequently increasing signal frequency. When whales begin to sell in numbers, it may be worth considering doing the same yourself!
We hope you can find utility in all of these indicators, and that in unison they can take your trading and investment to the next level. A majority of these indicators within the bundle can be tweaked and optimized within the bundle to further fine-tune and cater to your preferred trading and investing thesis.

HMA Slope OscillatorA Hull Moving Average (HMA) slope oscillator. It uses a HMA slope to identify up/down trends. Usage is simple: adjust the HMA and signal length according to your needs. Long orders start when the bar changes from under (the zero line) to over the zero line. You can also spot "early" long entries when the bar moves close to the zero line. Short orders should be placed when a red bar appears after blue bars (top of the mountain).
"Play" with the length to find the best settings for your trading strategy.
** I have not added alerts. If you need alerts just let me know and I will be happy to update this indicator.
Fisherized CCIIntroduction
This here is a non-repainting indicator where I use inverse Fisher transformation and smoothing on the well-known CCI (Commdity Channel Index) momentum indicator.
"The Inverse Fisher Transform" describes the calculation and use of the inverse Fisher transform by Dr . Ehlers in 2004. The transform is applied to any indicator with a known probability distribution function. It enables to transform an indicator signal into the range between +1 and -1. This can help to eliminate the noise of an indicator.
The CCI is an momentum indicator which describes the distance of the price to the average price.
For smoothing I used the Hann Window and NET (Noise Elimination Technique) methods.
Additional Features
Divergence Analysis
Trend-adaptive Histogram
Timeframe selection
Usage
It is usually used to spot potential trend reverals or mean-reversion (against the trend) trades on lower timeframes. IMO it can be even used to spot trend-following trades. It always depends on which settings you have, which timeframe do you use and which indicators you combine with it.
The suggested timeframe for this indicator is 15 min (with the length setting on 50).
The histogram with adaptive mode enabled could be used as filter applied on the buy and sell signals.
The divergence analysis can help to spot additional entries/exits or confirm the buy and sell signals.
Always try to find the best settings! This indicators has a lot of customization options you should take advantage of.
Signals
The indicator uses the following logic to generate the buy and sell signals:
Normal
Buy -> When CCI and MA go above the top band (usually +100) and cross
Sell -> When CCI and MA go below the the bottom band (usually -100) and cross
Fisherized
Buy -> When CCI and MA go above the the zero line and cross
Sell -> When CCI and MA go below the the zero line and cross
Have fun with the indicator! I am open for feedback and questions. :)
Mega Pendulum IndicatorThe MPI (Mega Pendulum Indicator) is a fusion between the Pendulum Indicator and the Swing Indicator and is used with specific trading rules.
The MPI is a semi-bounded oscillator comprised of two lines. The first bounded line is the Pendulum Indicator which oscillates between 0 and 100 but generally oscillates between 20 and 80. The second semi-bounded line is the Swing Indicator which generally oscillates between -10 and 10.
The conditions for trading the Mega Pendulum Indicator are as follows:
* Buy: Whenever the Pendulum indicator crosses over its signal line (a 5-period moving average) and at the same time, the Swing Indicator must cross over -10 after having been below it.
* Sell: Whenever the Pendulum indicator crosses below its signal line (a 5-period moving average) and at the same time, the Swing Indicator must cross under -10 after having been above it.
Qube [AstrideUnicorn]Qube is an indicator that shows market regimes. It is able to detect medium and long term trends and ranging markets. If the indicator bars are colored blue and are between the two blue lines, it means that the market is in sideways movement or consolidation. If indicator bars cross the upper boundary and are colored green, it means that the market is in an uptrend. Red bars crossing the lower blue line indicate a downward trend. The red or green columns are further referred as signal bars.
The indicator is based on the normalized momentum oscillator raised to the third power. This is done to increase the sensitivity of the indicator and to emphasize the difference between the market modes.
The indicator can be used in different ways. One of them is determining the trend direction based on the last signal bar. Even if the current indicator bar is blue (showing range or consolidation), the user should consider the longer-term market mode as upward if the last signal bar is green. And vice versa, if the last signal bar is red, the current market bias is downward. One other way to use the indicator is to catch active price impulses, when columns of the same color (red or green) appear consecutively.
SrgArt_MegaOscillatorDescription:
Type: Oscillator.
What it is based on: price movement inside the overbought/oversold channel (based on ATR)
Functional:
1) Shows two signal lines that determine the price movement within the overbought / oversold channel (slow and fast lines, ema)
2) Shows the direction of the trend, filtering flat movements (the fast one crosses the slow one from the bottom up - a bullish trend, from top to bottom - a bearish trend. If the distance between the fast and slow moving averages is small, the indicator considers this to be a flat movement)
3) The green signal line crosses the red one from top to bottom in the presence of a red background - a short signal
4) The green signal line crosses the red one from the bottom up in the presence of a green background - a long signal
5) Signal lines crossing the upper border of the channel = strong overbought, you can wait for the background to change and go short (overbought, this is the price going beyond the average true range)
6) Signal lines crossing the lower border of the channel = strong oversold, you can wait for the background to change and go long (oversold is going beyond the average true range)
7) It is possible to create alerts for the presence of a bullish or bearish trend, which is shown in the corresponding color on the indicator (red = bearish, green = bullish)
8) There is additional highlighting, which indicates the appearance of large volumes, which can push the price further towards the trend (large volumes are determined by the divergence between two ema: slow and fast)

This script comes with the 'TradingWolf Premium' to get access, read the Author’s Instructions below.
There are extensive explanations on how to use these oscillators in our documentation on the website but we will give a simple overview here.
RSI
We try not to mess with these too much because if used correctly, they are very powerful tools. The main differences you will notice is that we have highlighted the areas where you should be paying attention to the oscillator with reversal/continuation zones.
The most popular feature from these will be the 4 divergences which can be toggled on or off in the settings.
Stochastic
Stochastic we have tried to keep as similar to the original as possible, main features are being able to select alternate timeframes for it to be calculated on as well as displaying divergences.
We have created a highlighted zone for when price enters the overbought/sold territory. A lot of traders will look for crossovers happening in these areas however from our tests we have discovered entering trades as the Stochastic comes out of these areas has hugely reduced losing trades, still not a perfect strategy but it does often show that the trend is showing weakening momentum and its commonly followed by a period of sideways action before continuing in a new direction.
MACD
We have calculated a dynamic extreme range for the MACD, you will notice the green/red bars as the bottom and top of the Oscillator. These levels help adjust with the assets volatility so they will work universally on all assets and timeframes. When these levels get more narrow, this indicates there is a potential larger move to come, similar thought process to a Bollinger band squeeze.
We like the Divergence signals you receive whilst in this OB/OS range as they give more confluence behind the divergence signal that price has over extended and is looking to retrace or consolidate.
Awesome Oscillator
The Awesome Oscillator is based on some pretty simple calculations but is hugely powerful.
The 3 main use cases are crossing the 0 value, showing weakening momentum and divergence signals.
We Particularly like the Divergence signals it gives us as they tend to be more accurate than any other oscillator.
Wavetrend
Wavetrend we try describe as a more dynamic Stochastic/MACD, it moves smoother and quicker without giving too many false signals.
Conditions we use the Wavetrend for are similar to the MACD where we are looking for crossovers or divergences in the extreme bands, these shouldn’t be used to trade alone and should be paired with other pieces of confluence for a higher probability trade however this is one of our favourites.
We also have a VWAP extreme detector which we pair with the Wavetrend, helping us identify areas where price should start cooling off.
Zig Zag
The main purpose of the standard Zig Zag is to analyse historical data to be able to observe cycle's in a market's movement, this requires a bit more explanation than we can include here so please refer to our documentation on the website for further guidance.
DPO
The detrended price oscillator is unlike other oscillators, such as the Stochastic or MACD the DPO is not a momentum indicator. It instead highlights peaks and troughs in price, which are used to estimate buy and sell points in line with the historical cycle.
We personally think this is the most under-rated oscillator out there, if you simply followed the DPO above 0 for long and below for short on higher timeframes you can outperform the buy and hold return of Bitcoin (BTCUSDT)...
This is just one simple way of using the DPO there are other more in depth methods of using it within our documentation.
