Icaro Indicator: Monitoring Price Extensions
Overview
The Icarus Indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify critical points in the price movements of financial assets. Inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus , this indicator alerts on potential exhaustions in bullish movements or significant price extensions. It is ideal for traders looking to optimize profitability and make strategic decisions on when to exit a position, thereby minimizing the risk of dramatic price reversals.
How the Indicator Works: The Icarus Indicator combines various volatility and trend metrics to provide signals:
ATR (Average True Range): Measures the asset’s volatility, providing insight into the intensity of price movements. This component is crucial for understanding the strength behind the asset’s fluctuations.
Gain from Average Trend: This metric calculates how much the current price has deviated from an average trend line. It helps identify how extended or overvalued the price might be in relation to its overall trend.
ATR Acceleration: Assesses how the pace of volatility change compares to its recent average, indicating rapid changes in volatility that might suggest an increase in momentum or an early warning of overextension.
Visual Signals:
Wing Momentum (Purple Cross): Indicates a significant increase in volatility acceleration, suggesting that the price may be entering a phase of unusual momentum. There is also the potential that this signal could lead to a correction.
Solar Roof (Red Circle): Activates when the price reaches an exhaustion level as defined by the user’s threshold, indicating a possible turning point or correction.
NASDAQ:SMCI
Configuration and Use: Users can customize the "Flight Threshold" to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to their specific trading strategies. Modifying this threshold allows the indicator to be less or more reactive to the asset’s fluctuations.
Originality and Utility of the Indicator: Icarus stands out from other indicators with its unique focus on measuring volatility, offering a dynamic perspective on the asset's conditions. A notable feature of Icarus is its ability to reduce the number of false signals through its specialized formula, which prioritizes accuracy over the frequency of alerts. Although this may mean that the indicator does not react to all price extensions and might occasionally overlook some, it is intentionally designed to provide a higher percentage of correct signals when it does issue an alert. This "lower frequency, higher accuracy" approach is particularly valuable for traders who prefer the quality of signals over quantity, thus minimizing reactions to incorrect market movements and optimizing trading decisions based on highly reliable indicators. However, it is important to note that no indicator, including Icarus, can guarantee 100% effectiveness. Indeed, we cannot quantify the exact success rate of Icarus, as its performance can vary widely depending on the volatility of each asset and the market context at any given time.

Bitcoin Logarithmic Growth Curve 2024The Bitcoin logarithmic growth curve is a concept used to analyze Bitcoin's price movements over time. The idea is based on the observation that Bitcoin's price tends to grow exponentially, particularly during bull markets. It attempts to give a long-term perspective on the Bitcoin price movements.
The curve includes an upper and lower band. These bands often represent zones where Bitcoin's price is overextended (upper band) or undervalued (lower band) relative to its historical growth trajectory. When the price touches or exceeds the upper band, it may indicate a speculative bubble, while prices near the lower band may suggest a buying opportunity.
Unlike most Bitcoin growth curve indicators, this one includes a logarithmic growth curve optimized using the latest 2024 price data, making it, in our view, superior to previous models. Additionally, it features statistical confidence intervals derived from linear regression, compatible across all timeframes, and extrapolates the data far into the future. Finally, this model allows users the flexibility to manually adjust the function parameters to suit their preferences.
The Bitcoin logarithmic growth curve has the following function:
y = 10^(a * log10(x) - b)
In the context of this formula, the y value represents the Bitcoin price, while the x value corresponds to the time, specifically indicated by the weekly bar number on the chart.
How is it made (You can skip this section if you’re not a fan of math):
To optimize the fit of this function and determine the optimal values of a and b, the previous weekly cycle peak values were analyzed. The corresponding x and y values were recorded as follows:
113, 18.55
240, 1004.42
451, 19128.27
655, 65502.47
The same process was applied to the bear market low values:
103, 2.48
267, 211.03
471, 3192.87
676, 16255.15
Next, these values were converted to their linear form by applying the base-10 logarithm. This transformation allows the function to be expressed in a linear state: y = a * x − b. This step is essential for enabling linear regression on these values.
For the cycle peak (x,y) values:
2.053, 1.268
2.380, 3.002
2.654, 4.282
2.816, 4.816
And for the bear market low (x,y) values:
2.013, 0.394
2.427, 2.324
2.673, 3.504
2.830, 4.211
Next, linear regression was performed on both these datasets. (Numerous tools are available online for linear regression calculations, making manual computations unnecessary).
Linear regression is a method used to find a straight line that best represents the relationship between two variables. It looks at how changes in one variable affect another and tries to predict values based on that relationship.
The goal is to minimize the differences between the actual data points and the points predicted by the line. Essentially, it aims to optimize for the highest R-Square value.
Below are the results:
It is important to note that both the slope (a-value) and the y-intercept (b-value) have associated standard errors. These standard errors can be used to calculate confidence intervals by multiplying them by the t-values (two degrees of freedom) from the linear regression.
These t-values can be found in a t-distribution table. For the top cycle confidence intervals, we used t10% (0.133), t25% (0.323), and t33% (0.414). For the bottom cycle confidence intervals, the t-values used were t10% (0.133), t25% (0.323), t33% (0.414), t50% (0.765), and t67% (1.063).
The final bull cycle function is:
y = 10^(4.058 ± 0.133 * log10(x) – 6.44 ± 0.324)
The final bear cycle function is:
y = 10^(4.684 ± 0.025 * log10(x) – -9.034 ± 0.063)
The main Criticisms of growth curve models:
The Bitcoin logarithmic growth curve model faces several general criticisms that we’d like to highlight briefly. The most significant, in our view, is its heavy reliance on past price data, which may not accurately forecast future trends. For instance, previous growth curve models from 2020 on TradingView were overly optimistic in predicting the last cycle’s peak.
This is why we aimed to present our process for deriving the final functions in a transparent, step-by-step scientific manner, including statistical confidence intervals. It's important to note that the bull cycle function is less reliable than the bear cycle function, as the top band is significantly wider than the bottom band.
Even so, we still believe that the Bitcoin logarithmic growth curve presented in this script is overly optimistic since it goes parly against the concept of diminishing returns which we discussed in this post:
This is why we also propose alternative parameter settings that align more closely with the theory of diminishing returns.
Our recommendations:
Drawing on the concept of diminishing returns, we propose alternative settings for this model that we believe provide a more realistic forecast aligned with this theory. The adjusted parameters apply only to the top band: a-value: 3.637 ± 0.2343 and b-parameter: -5.369 ± 0.6264. However, please note that these values are highly subjective, and you should be aware of the model's limitations.
Conservative bull cycle model:
y = 10^(3.637 ± 0.2343 * log10(x) - 5.369 ± 0.6264)
Grid Bot Parabolic [xxattaxx]🟩 The Grid Bot Parabolic, a continuation of the Grid Bot Simulator Series , enhances traditional gridbot theory by employing a dynamic parabolic curve to visualize potential support and resistance levels. This adaptability is particularly useful in volatile or trending markets, enabling traders to explore grid-based strategies and gain deeper market insights. The grids are divided into customizable trade zones that trigger signals as prices move into new zones, empowering traders to gain deeper insights into market dynamics and potential turning points.
While traditional grid bots excel in ranging markets, the Grid Bot Parabolic’s introduction of acceleration and curvature adds new dimensions, enabling its use in trending markets as well. It can function as a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, a tilted grid bot with linear slopes, or a fully parabolic grid with curves. This dynamic nature allows the indicator to adapt to various market conditions, providing traders with a versatile tool for visualizing dynamic support and resistance levels.
🔑 KEY FEATURES 🔑

📐 GRID STRUCTURES 📐
Beyond its core parabolic functionality, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a range of grid configurations to suit different market conditions and trading preferences. By adjusting the "Acceleration" and "Curvature" parameters, you can transform the grid's structure:
Parabolic Grids
Setting both acceleration and curvature to non-zero values results in a parabolic grid.This configuration can be particularly useful for visualizing potential turning points and trend reversals. Example: Accel = 10, Curve = -10)
Linear Grids
With a non-zero acceleration and zero curvature, the grid tilts to represent a linear trend, aiding in identifying potential support and resistance levels during trending phases. Example: Accel =1.75, Curve = 0
Horizontal Grids
When both acceleration and curvature are set to zero, the indicator reverts to a traditional grid bot with horizontal lines, suitable for ranging markets. Example: Accel=0, Curve=0
⚙️ INITIAL SETUP ⚙️
1.Adding the Indicator to Your Chart

🤖 ALGORITHM AND CALCULATION 🤖
The Parabolic Function
At the core of the Parabolic Grid Bot lies the parabolic function, which calculates a dynamic curve that adapts to price action over time. This curve serves as the foundation for visualizing potential support and resistance levels.
The shape and behavior of the parabola are influenced by three key user-defined parameters:
Acceleration: This parameter controls the rate of change of the curve's slope, influencing its tilt or steepness. A higher acceleration value results in a more pronounced tilt, while a lower value leads to a gentler slope. This applies to both curved and linear grid configurations.
Curvature: This parameter introduces and controls the curvature or bend of the grid. A higher curvature value results in a more pronounced parabolic shape, while a lower value leads to a flatter curve or even a straight line (when set to zero).
Sensitivity: This setting fine-tunes the overall responsiveness of the grid, influencing how strongly the Acceleration and Curvature parameters affect its shape. Increasing sensitivity amplifies the impact of these parameters, making the grid more adaptable to price changes but potentially leading to more frequent adjustments. Decreasing sensitivity reduces their impact, resulting in a more stable grid structure with fewer adjustments. It may be necessary to adjust Sensitivity when switching between different assets or timeframes to ensure optimal scaling and responsiveness.
The parabolic function combines these parameters to generate a curve that visually represents the potential path of price movement. By understanding how these inputs influence the parabola's shape and behavior, traders can gain valuable insights into potential support and resistance areas, aiding in their decision-making process.
Sentiment
The Parabolic Grid Bot incorporates sentiment to enhance signal generation. The "Sentiment" input allows you to either:
Manually specify the market sentiment: Choose between 'Long' (bullish), 'Short' (bearish), or 'Neutral'.
Let the script determine sentiment based on the slope of the parabolic curve: If 'Slope' is selected, the sentiment will be considered 'Long' when the curve is sloping upwards, 'Short' when it's sloping downwards, and 'Neutral' when it's flat.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Parabolic Grid Bot generates buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the price and the grid levels.
Trigger: The "Trigger" input determines which part of the candlestick is used to trigger a signal (wick, close, midpoint, or SWMA).
Confirmation: The "Confirm" input specifies how a signal is confirmed ('Reverse' or 'Touch').
Zones: The number of "Buy Zones" and "Sell Zones" determines the areas on the grid where buy and sell signals can be generated.
When the trigger condition is met within a buy zone and the confirmation criteria are satisfied, a buy signal is generated. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the trigger and confirmation occur within a sell zone.
Secondary Signals
Secondary signals are generated when a regular buy or sell signal contradicts the prevailing sentiment. For example:
A buy signal in a bearish market (Sentiment = 'Short') would be considered a "secondary buy" signal.
A sell signal in a bullish market (Sentiment = 'Long') would be considered a "secondary sell" signal.
These secondary signals are visually represented on the chart using hollow triangles, differentiating them from regular signals (filled triangles).
While they can be interpreted as potential contrarian trade opportunities, secondary signals can also serve other purposes within a grid trading strategy:
Exit Signals: A secondary signal can suggest a potential shift in market sentiment or a weakening trend. This could be a cue to consider exiting an existing position, even if it's currently profitable, to lock in gains before a potential reversal
Risk Management: In a strong trend, secondary signals might offer opportunities for cautious counter-trend trades with controlled risk. These trades could utilize smaller position sizes or tighter stop-losses to manage potential downside if the main trend continues
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): During a prolonged trend, the parabolic curve might generate multiple secondary signals in the opposite direction. These signals could be used to implement a DCA strategy, gradually accumulating a position at potentially favorable prices as the market retraces or consolidates within the larger trend
Secondary signals should be interpreted with caution and considered in conjunction with other technical indicators and market context. They provide additional insights into potential market reversals or consolidation phases within a broader trend, aiding in adapting your grid trading strategy to the evolving market dynamics.
Examples
Trigger=Wick, Confirm=Touch. Signals are generated when the wick touches the next gridline.
Trigger=Close, Confirm=Touch. Signals require the close to touch the next gridline.
Trigger=SWMA, Confirm=Reverse. Signals are triggered when the Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average reverse crosses the next gridline.
🧠THEORY AND RATIONALE 🧠
The innovative approach of the Parabolic Grid Bot can be better understood by first examining the limitations of traditional grid trading strategies and exploring how this indicator addresses them by incorporating principles of market cycles and dynamic price behavior
Traditional Grid Bots: One-Dimensional and Static
Traditional grid bots operate on a simple premise: they divide the price chart into a series of equally spaced horizontal lines, creating a grid of trading zones. These bots excel in ranging markets where prices oscillate within a defined range. Buy and sell orders are placed at these grid levels, aiming to profit from mean reversion as prices bounce between the support and resistance zones.
However, traditional grid bots face challenges in trending markets. As the market moves in one direction, the bot continues to place orders in that direction, leading to a stacking of positions. If the market eventually reverses, these stacked trades can be profitable, amplifying gains. But the risk lies in the potential for the market to continue trending, leaving the trader with a series of losing trades on the wrong side of the market
The Parabolic Grid Bot: Adding Dimensions
The Parabolic Grid Bot addresses the limitations of traditional grid bots by introducing two additional dimensions:
Acceleration (Second Dimension): This parameter introduces a second dimension to the grid, allowing it to tilt upwards or downwards to align with the prevailing market trend. A positive acceleration creates an upward-sloping grid, suitable for uptrends, while a negative acceleration results in a downward-sloping grid, ideal for downtrends. The magnitude of acceleration controls the steepness of the tilt, enabling you to fine-tune the grid's responsiveness to the trend's strength
Curvature (Third Dimension): This parameter adds a third dimension to the grid by introducing a parabolic curve. The curve's shape, ranging from gentle bends to sharp turns, is controlled by the curvature value. This flexibility allows the grid to closely mirror the market's evolving structure, potentially identifying turning points and trend reversals.
Mean Reversion in Trending Markets
Even in trending markets, the Parabolic Grid Bot can help identify opportunities for mean reversion strategies. While the grid may be tilted to reflect the trend, the buy and sell zones can capture short-term price oscillations or consolidations within the broader trend. This allows traders to potentially pinpoint entry and exit points based on temporary pullbacks or reversals.
Visualize and Adapt
The Parabolic Grid Bot acts as a visual aid, enhancing your understanding of market dynamics. It allows you to "see the curve" by adapting the grid to the market's patterns. If the market shows a parabolic shape, like an upward curve followed by a peak and a downward turn (similar to a head and shoulders pattern), adjust the Accel and Curve to match. This highlights potential areas of interest for further analysis.
Beyond Straight Lines: Visualizing Market Cycle
Traditional technical analysis often employs straight lines, such as trend lines and support/resistance levels, to interpret market movements. However, many analysts, including Brian Millard, contend that these lines can be misleading. They propose that what might appear as a straight line could represent just a small part of a larger curve or cycle that's not fully visible on the chart.
Markets are inherently cyclical, marked by phases of expansion, contraction, and reversal. The Parabolic Grid Bot acknowledges this cyclical behavior by offering a dynamic, curved grid that adapts to these shifts. This approach helps traders move beyond the limitations of straight lines and visualize potential support and resistance levels in a way that better reflects the market's true nature
By capturing these cyclical patterns, whether subtle or pronounced, the Parabolic Grid Bot offers a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, potentially leading to more accurate interpretations of price action and informed trading decisions.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER⚠️
This indicator utilizes a parabolic curve fitting approach to visualize potential support and resistance levels. The mathematical formulas employed have been designed with adaptability and scalability in mind, aiming to accommodate various assets and price ranges. While the resulting curves may visually resemble parabolas, it's important to note that they might not strictly adhere to the precise mathematical definition of a parabola.
The indicator's calculations have been tested and generally produce reliable results. However, no guarantees are made regarding their absolute mathematical accuracy. Traders are encouraged to use this tool as part of their broader analysis and decision-making process, combining it with other technical indicators and market context.
Please remember that trading involves inherent risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It is always advisable to conduct your own research and exercise prudent risk management before making any trading decisions.
🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠

MTF Fusion - PSAR [TradingIndicators]MTF Fusion PSAR intelligently adapts to whatever timeframe you're trading - dynamically calculating Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) levels combined from four appropriate higher timeframes to give you a much broader view of the market and an edge in your trading decisions. It is the third indicator in our MTF Fusion series, and leverages our MTF Fusion algorithm - only this time to visualize J. Welles Wilder Jr.'s famous Parabolic SAR indicator.
What is MTF Fusion?
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fusion is the process of combining calculations from multiple timeframes higher than the chart's into one 'fused' value or indicator. It is based on the idea that integrating data from higher timeframes can help us to better identify short-term trading opportunities within the context of long-term market trends.
How does it work?
Let's use the context of this indicator, which calculates PSAR levels, as an example to explain how MTF Fusion works and how you can perform it yourself.
Step 1: Selecting Higher Timeframes
The first step is to determine the appropriate higher timeframes to use for the fusion calculation. These timeframes should typically be chosen based on their ability to provide meaningful price levels and action which actively affect the price action of the smaller timeframe you're focused on. For example, if you are trading the 5 minute chart, you might select the 15 minute, 30 minute, and hourly timeframe as the higher timeframes you want to fuse in order to give you a more holistic view of the trends and action affecting you on the 5 minute. In this indicator, four higher timeframes are automatically selected depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to.
Step 2: Gathering Data and Calculations
Once the higher timeframes are identified, the next step is to calculate the data from these higher timeframes that will be used to calculate your fused values. In this indicator, for example, the values of PSAR levels are calculated by determining the value of the PSAR indicator for all four higher timeframes.
Step 3: Fusing the Values From Higher Timeframes
The next step is to actually combine the values from these higher timeframes to obtain your 'fused' indicator values. The simplest approach to this is to simply average them. If you have calculated the value of a PSAR level from three higher timeframes, you can, for example, calculate your 'multi-timeframe fused level' as (HigherTF_PSAR_Level_1 + HigherTF_PSAR_Level_2 + HigherTF_PSAR_Level_3) / 3.0.
Step 4: Visualization and Interpretation
Once the calculations are complete, the resulting fused indicator values are plotted on the chart. These values reflect the fusion of data from the multiple higher timeframes, giving a broader perspective on the market's behavior and potentially valuable insights without the need to manually consider values from each higher timeframe yourself.
What makes this script unique? Why is it closed source?
While the process described above is fairly unique and sounds simple, the truly important key lies in determining which higher timeframes to fuse together, and how to weight their values when calculating the fused end result in such a way that best leverages their relationship for useful TA.
This MTF Fusion indicator employs a smart, adaptive algorithm which automatically selects appropriate higher timeframes to use in fusion calculations depending on the timeframe of the chart it is applied to. It also uses a dynamic algorithm to adjust and weight the PSAR calculations depending on each higher timeframe's relationship to the chart timeframe. These algorithms are based on extensive testing and are the reason behind this script's closed source status.
What is the PSAR indicator?
The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps identify potential trend reversals in price movements. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and is widely used by traders to determine entry and exit points in the market. It consists of levels that are plotted above or below current price. The position of these plots relative to the price provides valuable information about the prevailing trend and potential reversal points.
Here's how the original PSAR indicator works:
Upward Trend: When the Parabolic SAR level is plotted below the price, it indicates an upward trend in the market. The level generally moves closer to the price as the trend progresses. This creates a parabolic curve that rises with time. Traders typically interpret this as a bullish signal, suggesting that it may be a good time to buy or hold positions.
Downward Trend: Conversely, when the Parabolic SAR level is plotted above the price, it indicates a downward trend in the market. The plot generally moves closer to the price as the trend continues, forming a parabolic curve that declines with time. This is considered a bearish signal, suggesting that it may be a suitable time to sell or avoid taking long positions.
Reversal Points: The primary purpose of the Parabolic SAR indicator is to identify potential trend reversals. When the price crosses above or below the Parabolic SAR level, it indicates a possible reversal in the trend.
The Parabolic SAR indicator is versatile and can be used in various market conditions and timeframes. It is particularly useful in trending markets, where it helps traders ride the trend and capture potential profits. However, it's important to note that the Parabolic SAR may generate false signals or provide delayed indications in sideways or choppy markets.

Interactive SAR Stop-Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive" which means some inputs can are manually added through the first click after adding the indicator to the chart (SAR Trailing Stop-loss start point).
Unlike the normal Parabolic SAR, this indicator allows for the modification of the start point of the Parabolic SAR’s first bar calculation. Normally, the Parabolic SAR automatically has a start point after the first bar of an asset’s historical price that will then switch between trailing above and below price respectively. It must be noted that due to how the first position of the Parabolic SAR is calculated, on occasion the Parabolic SAR will immediately flip on the next bar to the opposite side relative to price that it was just located. Modifying the setting “⭐Initial Interactive SAR Position Source”, then selecting either 'Clicked' or 'ATR' level as the vertical start position will prevent this. See images below for more explanation.
Why use a trailing stop-loss?
A trailing stop-loss provides an exit when price moves against you but also enables you to move the exit point further into profit when price is moving in the desired direction of a trade. The Parabolic SAR ( stop and reverse ) which is used to determine price direction as well as when price direction is changing, is very effective at functioning as a trailing stop loss.
Indicator Explanation
Initially when this indicator is added to the chart, you will be prompted to select where to begin the SAR Trailing Stop-loss.
For a long stop-loss, select below price.
For a short stop-loss, select above price.
After this indicator is placed, it can be modified via dragging or from within the settings by modifying the time and the price input. Or simply re-add the indicator to the chart. Another option is to have this Parabolic SAR begin directly on the price that was initially ‘Clicked’ or the ‘ATR’ level, which requires selecting the option in settings labeled “⭐Initial Interactive SAR Position Source”
The SAR Stop Loss plotted. Note that the calculation that occurs on this first bar of the ‘Interactive SAR’ is as if the prior bar was the oldest historical bar of the asset. Due to the SAR’s calculations, if the ‘Normal SAR’ were to also flip sides over to the position that has been manually set for the ‘Interactive SAR’, they won’t necessarily have the same result.
An optional fixed profit target can be added within the settings. This profit target will only actively be plotted when the SAR Trailing Stop-loss has not be hit yet or until the profit target has been hit.
Here shows that the profit target was hit, then later on the SAR Trailing Stop-loss was hit.
Note, trailing stop-loss will continue to be plotted until it has been hit regardless of the profit target being hit or not.
Here is an example of when the Parabolic SAR will immediately flip on the next bar to the opposite side relative to price that it was just first located. This is due to how the Parabolic SAR is calculated and will also occur with the traditional Parabolic SAR that is not interactively (manually) given a start location. To prevent this, either relocate this time in which this SAR beings or consider modifying the SAR’s (start, increment, max) settings specifically.
Here instead of using the SAR’s calculation for an initial bar, the ‘ATR’ was selected as the start point within the setting “⭐Initial Interactive SAR Position Source”.
Alerts
1. 'Check' alerts to use within indicator settings (trailing stop hit and/or profit target hit).
2. Select 'Create Alert'
3. Set the condition to 'Interactive SAR''
4. Select create.
Adaptive Parabolic SAR (APSAR) - [MYN]We took the code that we wrote in Myth Busting Strategy #6 to make it more profitable, specifically the timeframe adaptive Parabolic SAR logic and published this as a separate indicator to make it easier for others to use and adopt.
There really is no magic to this. This indicator basically just evaluates the timeframe and derives a multiplier that is applied to the PSAR Max attribute.
QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity [Loxx]QQE of Parabolic-Weighted Velocity is a QQE indicator that takes as its input parabolic-weighted velocity calculation. This version can help in determining trend. Adjust the calculating period to your trading style: longer - to trend traders, shorter - for scalping.
What is Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE)?
The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) indicator works like a smoother version of the popular Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) indicator. QQE expands on RSI by adding two volatility based trailing stop lines. These trailing stop lines are composed of a fast and a slow moving Average True Range (ATR).
There are many indicators for many purposes. Some of them are complex and some are comparatively easy to handle. The QQE indicator is a really useful analytical tool and one of the most accurate indicators. It offers numerous strategies for using the buy and sell signals. Essentially, it can help detect trend reversal and enter the trade at the most optimal positions.

Parabolic SAR Oscillator [LuxAlgo]This indicator is a detrended price series using the Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) trailing stop, resulting in a bounded oscillator in the range (-100, 100). The SAR output is also normalized to obtain a noiseless oscillator which can complement the detrended price.
Settings
Start: Initial value of the convergence factor used when a new trend is detected by the SAR
Increment: Increment value of the convergence factor
Maximum: Maximum value of the convergence factor
Usage
The price is detrended by subtracting the closing price to the SAR, this result is then normalized.
An up-trending market is indicated once the normalized SAR reaches -100, while a value of 100 indicates a down-trending market. One can anticipate trends when the normalized SAR crosses above/under 0.
The converging nature of the SAR trailing stop allows for the trader to obtain a very apparent leading oscillator.
Parabolic sar with breaksThis plots a Parabolic sar and a break line on the previous sar point before the parabolic sar flips.
This is looking to be a very popular entry signal for lots of strats.
How to use:
In conjunction with other confirmation indicators;
Long : Enter long when the Parabolic sar is below the price and the price breaks above (and closes) the break line.
Short : Enter short when the Parabolic sar is above the price and the price breaks below (and closes) the break line.
A great indicator combination for this is to use a 200 ema for price trend and volume flow.

Trend MasterThis is a trend aggregator for confirmation and trend signals. It basically aggregates many buy/sell signals and confirmation and by combining them provides a strong buy/sell signal or trend confirmation.
The actual layout idea and trend confirmation is derived from Trend Meter and this indicator uses few other indicator, such as Chandelier Exit, WaveTrend, QQE Signals, Parabolic SAR and AlphaTrend. This indicator aggregates signal from different methods to find out more powerful and confirmed Trend and combines them into one Signal. It also uses Technical Ratings from TradingView team to filter out false signal, it tremendously opts out false signals and improve profitability.
The first seven dots are these

ORB PSAR MTF Screener+ 1.0The parabolic SAR is a technical indicator used to determine the price direction of an asset, as well as draw attention to when the price direction is changing.
Sometimes known as the "stop and reversal system," the parabolic SAR was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., creator of the relative strength index (RSI).
PSAR can itself prove to be great trading strategy if it is used on a multiple timeframe.
This indicator contains the followings:
1. A Screener to process multiple stocks at one go to show possible trades
2. MTF plotting of trading signals for individual stocks as well as list of stocks
3. Alert system to inform you of possible trade setups
4. Auto selection of best MTF for trades
5. Strength Candle markings.
6. Configurable options to customise as per your need.
The indicator works on the 1 Min, 5Min, 30Min, 1Hr, 4Hr, Daily, Monthly setups.
Due to TradingView restrictions and MTF usages, the screener can process a list of only 14 symbols. However , you can use the alerts option to define multiple lists of 14 stocks.
Enjoy!
TradePro Parabolic SAR BackgroundTradePro Parabolic SAR Background
This indicator is a small tribute to youtuber TradePro
The operation is simple. It is the same Parabolic SAR indicator with its default configuration, but in background format. It is a new way to visualize the same information, more understandably. It is in itself a complete trading system, it can be used in conjunction with the traditional Parabolic SAR to locate the stop loss.
Parabolic SAR
In stock and securities market technical analysis, parabolic SAR (parabolic stop and reverse) is a method devised by J. Welles Wilder, Jr., to find potential reversals in the market price direction of traded goods such as securities or currency exchanges such as forex. It is a trend-following (lagging) indicator and may be used to set a trailing stop loss or determine entry or exit points based on prices tending to stay within a parabolic curve during a strong trend.
Similar to option theory's concept of time decay, the concept draws on the idea that "time is the enemy". Thus, unless a security can continue to generate more profits over time, it should be liquidated. The indicator generally works only in trending markets, and creates "whipsaws" during ranging or, sideways phases. Therefore, Wilder recommends first establishing the direction or change in direction of the trend through the use of parabolic SAR, and then using a different indicator such as the Average Directional Index to determine the strength of the trend.
A parabola below the price is generally bullish, while a parabola above is generally bearish. A parabola below the price may be used as support, whereas a parabola above the price may represent resistance.
polynomic_stopA strategy with a trailing stop in the form of a polynomial function. The entry is made at the intersection of a simple sliding closing candle. At the moment of entering the position, it is fixed by the value of the Minimum for the period. After entering the position, a trailing stop of the form is activated: Min + D * N^a, where Min is the minimum for the period fixed at the time of entering the position, D is the decrement, N is the number of bars in the position and a is the degree of the polynomial. At the moment when the trailing stop crosses the candle closing from the bottom up , the transaction is closed. The degree of a polynomial can be taken as integers and fractional numbers
ParabxotThis indicator is a modified Parabolic SAR (Stop And Reverse) created by Dennis Meyers in 2001 in order to avoid the typical whipsaws produced in ranging, non-trending markets. Parabxot does not reverse unless the price penetrates the previous SAR level by a specified amount. Also it increases (decreases) the initial distance of the SAR level by adding (substracting) a predefined percentage amount to the Parabolic starting value.
The thresholds can be adjusted using the following parameters:
xo controls the percentage amount added or substracted to the last Parabolic SAR value in order to allow a change in direction in the indicator.
xpr defines how much should be added to the previous highest high (in case of a bearish reversal) or substracted to the previous lowest low (in case of a bullish reversal), expressed as a percentage of price.
Setting xo and/or xpr to zero disables the filters and the indicator behaves as the original Parabolic SAR.

- QQE
- Ichimoku using much faster settings.
- Parabolic SAR
- Supertrend
- TTM Oscillator
- The Squeeze strategy
- The Alligator Strategy
Using this indicator is simple, if the lines are mainly green then buy, if mainly red then sell OR don't trade. So...
Green Line - This strategy is in a buy position
Orange or Black Line - This strategy is undecided
Red Line - This strategy is in a sell position
There are also some green and red circles for reference that appear showing when that bar has broken through the Ichimoku cloud.
The trader's approach is simple, when all indicators are green or red, then take the trade. As soon as one indicator changes, then re-evaluate using your normal process, such as price action, to determine whether to close the trade or continue.
