⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.

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

Momentum Trend Fusion (MTF)The Momentum Trend Fusion (MTF) is a composite indicator that combines the Awesome Oscillator and the Relative Strength Index to provide a unique perspective on market momentum and trend strength. The MTF is calculated by first running the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and then applying an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on the RSI value. The MTF is designed to help traders detect market phases and confirm trend direction by analyzing the cross of the EMA and RSI, as well as divergences between the AO and price. The MTF can be customized by the user by providing the lengths of the RSI and EMA calculations, making it an ideal tool for traders with different time frames and risk tolerances.
Parabolic SAR Heikin Ashi MTF Candle ScalperThis is scalper strategy designed around parabolic sar indicator, where as an input candle value it uses the heikinashi from a higher timeframe.
This example has been adapted to SPY/SPX chart
In this case ,we are using a 5 min chart, but the calculations are made on a 15 min heikin ashi chart for the PSAR and then on 5 min chart we plot the results.
At the same time we are conditioning the entry to be base on a time/session for daytrading/scalper mentality
In this case we only enter within the first 30 min of SPY opening session , and then we exit after 3-4 hours of staying in the position ( unless we hit a reverse condition).
For long condition we enter when the mtf ha candle close is above the mtf psar and for short condition we enter when the mtf ha candle close is below the mtf psar
This script is made with an educational purpose to show the power of multiple time frame approach compared to a single chart.
If you have any questions, let me know !
WaveTrend mtfThis is based on Lazy Bear famous script of Wave trend
So in basic we do MTF on it
One can choose to use the signal of the MTF (circles red or green for buy and sell)
or the regular buy and sell by cross green /red
to the script one can add if it cross the 0 above or bellow (not done here)
the MTF is taken from pinescripter example how to avoid repainting , so it good also for using your indicator to make MTF scripts
alerts included
lazy weis MTFSo here was my problem and the way we fix it . We all know lazy bear weis model of volume . if we make it to MTF then we use security and it will repaint all over . since its hard to convert it to version 3 in order to fix the problem ,then it was impossible so far to make it a good MTF model.
By changing the length to time function we do not need to use the security and by this we can create an MTF model with no repaint ( i hope).
Now in setting you see int2 (now its on 60 min) , this you can change to any min value that you want. TV will consider it as length and not as time and by this way you can manipulate it to be an MTF model of your choosing . The int1 is minimum min always need to be smaller then int2
lets say you want 5 min chart and on 10 min time frame. so set it as int1=1 and int=15. if you want 45 min frame on the 5 min so set int 2 to 45
if you want it to be daily just set it to 1440 ,
I hope you like this solution

ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF [PhenLabs]📊 ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The ApEn Zones with Delta Confirmation MTF indicator combines Approximate Entropy analysis with cumulative volume delta to identify high-probability support and resistance zones. Approximate Entropy (ApEn) measures the complexity and unpredictability in price data—when ApEn drops significantly, it signals a transition from chaotic to ordered market behavior, often preceding reversals or continuations.
This indicator goes beyond simple ApEn detection by integrating Delta confirmation, which validates zones using volume-based order flow analysis. When a zone forms with Delta confirmation, it indicates institutional participation aligning with the price structure. The multi-timeframe capability allows traders to detect zones forming on higher timeframes while executing on their preferred chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
First indicator to combine ApEn complexity analysis with cumulative Delta confirmation for zone validation
Pre-built calculation presets eliminate guesswork—optimized parameters for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Smart zone management automatically removes invalidated zones after two price rejections
Multi-timeframe architecture detects zones on configurable timeframes independent of chart timeframe
Visual style presets provide instant customization from high contrast to subtle overlays
Delta threshold system distinguishes between regular zones and institutionally-confirmed zones
🔧 Core Components
ApEn Calculator: Measures pattern regularity using embedding dimension (m=2) and tolerance factor (r) against price standard deviation to quantify market complexity
Delta Engine: Computes cumulative delta from volume and price movement, comparing against statistical thresholds to identify significant order flow divergence
Zone Generator: Creates visual box zones at signal points with dynamic sizing based on bar range and confirmation status
MTF Request Handler: Fetches ApEn calculations from user-specified timeframe using security() calls for higher timeframe alignment
Zone Manager: Tracks zone interactions, counts rejections, and automatically purges zones that have been tested twice
🔥 Key Features
Calculation Presets: Choose from Aggressive, Conservative, Scalping 1m, Strong Scalping, Swing Trading, or Default—each preset optimizes all parameters for specific trading styles
Visual Style Presets: Select Default, High Contrast, Subtle, Classic, Neutral, or Neutral Reverse to match your chart theme and preference
Delta Confirmation: Zones display with enhanced opacity when cumulative delta confirms institutional participation in the direction of the zone
Automatic Zone Cleanup: Zones self-destruct after two rejections, keeping your chart clean and focused on active levels
Alert System: Four alert conditions for buy zones, sell zones, strong buy signals, and strong sell signals
Maximum Zone Control: Limits display to 5 zones per direction to prevent chart clutter
🎨 Visualization
Buy Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at low points when ApEn crosses under threshold—lighter transparency indicates regular zone, darker indicates Delta confirmation
Sell Zones: Displayed as horizontal boxes at high points when ApEn crosses over threshold—visual confirmation follows same transparency logic
Zone Boundaries: Each zone extends 10% of bar range above and below the signal level, providing clear entry and stop areas
Dynamic Extension: All zones automatically extend rightward with each new bar until invalidated
📖 Usage Guidelines
Calculation Preset Selection
Scalping 1m / Strong Scalping: Use for 1-5 minute charts with faster signal generation and tighter thresholds (Length: 15, Zone Length: 5)
Aggressive: Shorter lookback (Length: 10) generates more zones with lower confirmation requirements—higher frequency, more noise
Default: Balanced parameters suitable for 5-15 minute charts (Length: 15, Zone Threshold: 0.5, Delta Length: 4)
Conservative: Extended lookback (Length: 30) with stricter thresholds—fewer but higher probability zones
Swing Trading: Longest parameters (Length: 40, Zone Length: 20) for 1H-4H charts capturing major structural zones
Visual Style Selection
High Contrast: Bright green/red for maximum visibility on any background
Subtle: Muted green/red with transparency for minimal chart distraction
Classic: Traditional lime green and crimson color scheme
Neutral / Neutral Reverse: Grayscale tones for non-directional bias visualization
Timeframe Configuration
Default timeframe is set to 1 minute—adjust based on your execution timeframe
For scalping: Set zone timeframe 1-3x your chart timeframe
For swing trading: Set zone timeframe to 4H or Daily while viewing 1H charts
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying reversal zones during high-volatility market conditions
Confirming support/resistance levels with volume-based order flow validation
Scalping entries on lower timeframes with higher timeframe zone confluence
Filtering trade setups by requiring Delta confirmation before entry
Setting stop losses beyond zone boundaries after rejection tests
Swing trade positioning at zones detected on 4H/Daily timeframes
⚠️ Limitations
ApEn calculations are computationally intensive—may experience slower loading on very long chart histories
Delta estimation uses (close - open) * volume approximation, not actual order flow data
Zones require sufficient price history—indicator needs max_bars_back of 2000 bars for proper calculation
Low volume instruments may produce unreliable Delta confirmation signals
Zone rejections are counted based on price interaction, not candle close confirmation
Maximum of 5 zones per direction limits visibility during highly active markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Entropy-Based Detection: Uses mathematical complexity analysis rather than simple price patterns to identify zones
Dual Confirmation System: Combines ApEn signals with Delta divergence for higher probability setups
Adaptive Presets: Six calculation presets and six visual styles create 36 possible configurations without manual parameter adjustment
Self-Managing Zones: Automatic invalidation after two rejections mimics how professional traders track level degradation
🔬 How It Works
Step 1 - ApEn Calculation: The indicator computes Approximate Entropy by measuring how often similar patterns of length m repeat within tolerance r multiplied by standard deviation—lower values indicate more predictable (ordered) price behavior
Step 2 - Signal Generation: Buy signals trigger when higher timeframe ApEn crosses under the average ApEn divided by threshold; sell signals trigger when ApEn crosses over average multiplied by threshold
Step 3 - Delta Confirmation: Cumulative delta is compared against its moving average plus/minus standard deviation times threshold—extreme readings confirm institutional order flow alignment
Step 4 - Zone Creation: Visual boxes are drawn at signal bars with dimensions based on bar range; confirmed zones receive enhanced opacity while unconfirmed zones appear more transparent
Step 5 - Zone Lifecycle: Active zones extend with each bar and track price interactions; after two rejections (price touches zone but reverses), the zone is automatically deleted
💡 Note:
This indicator works best when combined with trend analysis and market structure. Use calculation presets as starting points and adjust the Zone Timeframe setting to align with your trading methodology. Delta confirmation significantly improves zone reliability but requires volume data—instruments with low or unreported volume should rely primarily on ApEn signals alone. Always validate signals with price action context before executing trades.
Enhanced MTF Bias Table by Odegos# Enhanced MTF Bias Table - Publication Description
## Short Description (for TradingView listing)
Multi-timeframe bias indicator combining Market Structure Shifts (MSS) with EMA analysis. Displays real-time bias across 7 timeframes (5m-Weekly) with distance metrics and volatility measurements. Perfect for identifying trend alignment and potential reversal points.
---
## Full Description
### Overview
The **Enhanced MTF Bias Table** is a comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis tool designed to help traders quickly identify market bias across different time horizons. By combining Market Structure Shift (MSS) detection with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) analysis, this indicator provides a clear, color-coded view of market sentiment from short-term (5-minute) to long-term (weekly) timeframes.
### What This Indicator Does
**Core Functionality:**
- **Multi-Timeframe Analysis**: Simultaneously monitors 7 different timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly)
- **Market Structure Detection**: Identifies when price breaks previous swing highs/lows, indicating potential trend changes
- **EMA-Based Bias**: Combines market structure with price distance from a customizable EMA to determine bias strength
- **Visual Market Structure Shifts**: Draws horizontal lines on the chart when significant market structure shifts occur
- **Real-Time Metrics**: Displays distance from EMA and ATR (volatility) for each timeframe
### How It Works
**Bias Calculation Logic:**
The indicator uses a sophisticated two-factor approach to determine market bias:
1. **Market Structure Analysis**:
- Tracks swing highs and lows using pivot points
- Identifies when price breaks above previous highs (bullish structure) or below previous lows (bearish structure)
- Uses a customizable lookback period to filter noise
2. **EMA Distance Analysis**:
- Measures how far price is from the selected EMA
- Strong bias requires BOTH structure break AND significant distance from EMA
- Neutral zone prevents false signals when price consolidates near the EMA
**Bias Categories:**
- **Strong ↑** (Dark Green): Bullish market structure + price above EMA threshold
- **Weak ↑** (Light Green): Bullish structure OR price moderately above EMA
- **Neutral** (Orange): Price within neutral zone around EMA
- **Weak ↓** (Light Red): Bearish structure OR price moderately below EMA
- **Strong ↓** (Dark Red): Bearish market structure + price below EMA threshold
### Key Features
**📊 Customizable Table Display:**
- Two table styles: Compact (minimal) or Full (detailed with labels)
- 9 position options to fit any chart layout
- Toggle distance from EMA and ATR displays
- Shows current symbol, timeframe, and date
**📈 Flexible Indicator Settings:**
- Adjustable EMA length (default: 50)
- Customizable MSS lookback period (5-50 bars)
- Breakout threshold adjustment for different instruments
- Neutral zone configuration to reduce noise
**📍 Visual Market Structure Shifts:**
- Draws horizontal lines at significant structure breaks
- Customizable colors for bullish/bearish MSS
- Optional text labels ("MSS") for easy identification
- Adjustable line width and style (solid, dashed, dotted)
**📉 EMA Overlay:**
- Optional EMA display on chart
- Full customization: color, width, line style
- Helps visualize the reference point for bias calculations
**🎨 Full Color Customization:**
- Independent color controls for all bias levels
- Customize header and table appearance
- Matches any chart theme or preference
### Best Use Cases
**1. Trend Alignment:**
Use the MTF table to identify when multiple timeframes align in the same direction. When 5-6 or more timeframes show the same bias, it indicates strong directional momentum.
**2. Divergence Detection:**
Look for disagreements between timeframes. For example, if higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly) show bearish bias while lower timeframes (5m/15m) show bullish bias, it may indicate a counter-trend bounce or potential reversal setup.
**3. Entry Timing:**
Use higher timeframe bias for direction and lower timeframe bias for entry timing. Enter trades when your trading timeframe aligns with higher timeframe bias.
**4. Risk Management:**
When lower timeframes show opposite bias to higher timeframes, it suggests trading against the major trend—requiring tighter stops and smaller positions.
**5. Market Structure Confirmation:**
The MSS lines help identify key levels where market structure changed, useful for:
- Stop loss placement (below/above MSS levels)
- Target setting (previous structure points)
- Breakout confirmation
### Recommended Settings by Instrument
**Index Futures:**
- **ES (S&P 500)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.15%, Neutral Zone: 0.15%
- **NQ (Nasdaq)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.25%, Neutral Zone: 0.20%
- **YM (Dow Jones)**: Breakout Threshold: 0.20%, Neutral Zone: 0.20%
**Forex Pairs:**
- **Major Pairs**: Breakout Threshold: 0.10%, Neutral Zone: 0.10%
- **Volatile Pairs**: Breakout Threshold: 0.20%, Neutral Zone: 0.15%
**Cryptocurrencies:**
- Breakout Threshold: 0.30-0.50%, Neutral Zone: 0.25-0.40%
- Higher volatility requires larger thresholds
### Understanding the Metrics
**Distance from EMA (%):**
- Positive values = Price above EMA (bullish territory)
- Negative values = Price below EMA (bearish territory)
- Larger absolute values = Stronger deviation from mean
- Useful for identifying overextended moves
**ATR (%):**
- Measures current volatility as percentage of price
- Higher values = More volatile conditions
- Helps adjust position sizing and stop distances
- Compare across timeframes to see where volatility concentrates
### Tips for Optimal Use
1. **Start with higher timeframes**: Check Daily and Weekly bias first to understand the bigger picture
2. **Use the 50 EMA default**: It's widely used and provides reliable support/resistance
3. **Adjust MSS lookback for your style**: Lower values (5-7) for day trading, higher values (15-25) for swing trading
4. **Watch for neutral zones**: Orange/neutral readings often precede significant moves
5. **Combine with price action**: Use MSS lines as reference points for entries and exits
6. **Don't ignore weak signals**: "Weak" bias often precedes strong moves as structure builds
### What Makes This Different
Unlike simple moving average indicators, this script:
- Combines TWO confirmation factors (structure + distance) for more reliable signals
- Provides context across multiple timeframes simultaneously
- Visually marks important market structure changes on your chart
- Offers both compact and detailed display modes
- Includes volatility measurement to gauge market conditions
### Technical Notes
- Uses `request.security()` to fetch data from multiple timeframes
- Implements `pivothigh()` and `pivotlow()` for swing detection
- All calculations use `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` to prevent repainting
- MSS lines drawn in real-time as structure breaks occur
- Optimized for performance with minimal script resources
### Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for analysis and does not provide trading signals or financial advice. Always:
- Use proper risk management
- Combine with other forms of analysis
- Test thoroughly in a demo environment
- Understand that past performance doesn't guarantee future results
- Consider market conditions and fundamental factors

💡 Summary
This indicator combines flexibility, precision, and multi‑timeframe logic to help you identify strong trends, detect structural shifts, and stay aligned with market momentum.
Highly customizable and suitable for any market or timeframe.
Adaptive Quant RSI [ML + MTF]This is an advanced momentum indicator that integrates Machine Learning (K-Means Clustering) with Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Unlike traditional RSI which uses fixed 70/30 levels, this script dynamically calculates support and resistance zones based on real-time historical data distribution.
Key Features:
🤖 ML Dynamic Thresholds: Uses K-Means clustering to segment RSI data into clusters, automatically plotting dynamic long/short thresholds that adapt to market volatility.
⏳ MTF Trend Background: The background color changes based on a Higher Timeframe (e.g., 5-min) RSI trend, helping you align with the broader market direction.
📊 Extreme Statistics: Incorporates percentile analysis (95th/5th) and historical pivots to identify extreme overbought/oversold conditions with high reversal probability.
📈 Probability Analysis: Displays the statistical probability of the current RSI value being at the top or bottom of its historical range.
Usage: Look for confluence between the dynamic ML thresholds and the MTF background color to identify high-probability reversal setups.
CAP - cRSI cyclic smoothed [MTF]Introduction This indicator is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) adaptation of the Cyclic Smoothed RSI (cRSI), based on the foundational work of Lars von Thienen and his book "Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm". It allows traders to visualize cyclic momentum and identify potential turning points by adapting standard RSI calculations to a dominant market cycle.
How It Works Unlike a standard RSI which uses fixed periods, the cRSI uses "cyclic memory" to adjust its sensitivity:
Cyclic Smoothing: It smooths the RSI based on a user-defined Dominant Cycle Length (default: 20 bars).
Dynamic Bands: Instead of static overbought/oversold levels (like 70/30), this script calculates dynamic upper and lower bands that adapt to recent volatility and cyclic distribution.
MTF Capability: You can view the cRSI of a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) while looking at a lower timeframe chart (e.g., H1) to align your entries with the broader trend.
My Trading Strategy & Context I am sharing this to start a conversation on how to optimize cyclic tools for Equity markets. My current workflow is:
- Timeframe: I analyze Daily candles for the main trend but look for entries on Intraday (H1).
- Confluence: I combine this cRSI with the CSP - CSI (Cyclic Swing Indicator).
- Momentum & Trend: I use Williams %R to read immediate momentum, and check trend direction using EMA9 and SMA30.
- Entries: On the H1 chart, I look for VWAP interactions to trigger the entry once the Daily cRSI confirms the cycle low/high.
Let's Collaborate I am looking for constructive feedback to refine this strategy. Please leave a comment below regarding:
- Settings: Have you found a Dominant Cycle Length other than 20 that works better for Crypto or FX volatility?
- Filtering: What filters do you use to avoid "catching a falling knife" when the bands widen significantly?
- Backtesting: If you have visual backtest results using this with VWAP, please share your findings.
Note: This script is for educational purposes and collaborative research. Please backtest all strategies before live trading.

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

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

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

## 🚫 Non-Repainting Architecture
### What is Repainting?
**Repainting** occurs when an indicator's historical signals differ from what appeared in real-time. This makes backtesting unreliable and can lead to false confidence in a strategy.
### How This Indicator Prevents Repainting
1. **Closed Bar Analysis**
- All calculations use ` ` offset (previous bar)
- Only analyzes COMPLETED candles
- Signals appear on the bar AFTER the pinbar closes
2. **Confirmed Swing Points**
- Waits for sufficient bar history before signaling
- Only checks historical bars that cannot change
- Prevents premature swing detection
3. **Static Alert Timing**
- Alerts fire only after bar completion
- No conditional logic that changes historically
- Same results in replay mode and live trading
### Verification Method
To verify non-repainting behavior:
1. Apply indicator to chart
2. Note signal locations and prices
3. Refresh browser / reload chart
4. **Signals remain in exact same locations**
---
## 💼 Trading Strategy Guidelines
### Entry Rules
**For Bullish Pinbar (LONG):**
1. Wait for green triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar high
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
**For Bearish Pinbar (SHORT):**
1. Wait for red triangle to appear
2. Enter at close of pinbar (shown in label)
3. Alternative: Enter on break of pinbar low
4. Place stop loss at red SL line
5. Set target at green TP line
### Risk Management
- **Position Sizing**: Risk only 1-2% of account per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Always use the calculated SL (never move it wider)
- **Take Profit**: Use calculated TP or trail stop after 1:1 RR
- **Multiple Timeframes**: Confirm signals on higher timeframe
### Best Practices
✅ **DO:**
- Wait for bar to close before entering
- Trade in direction of higher timeframe trend
- Use on liquid markets with clear support/resistance
- Combine with price action analysis
- Keep a trading journal
❌ **DON'T:**
- Enter before bar closes (prevents seeing full pattern)
- Trade against strong trends
- Ignore the filters (they improve win rate)
- Risk more than 2% per trade
- Trade every signal (be selective)

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

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

AWR Pearsons R & LR Oscillator MTF1. Overview
This indicator is designed to analyze the correlation between a price series (or any custom indicator) and the bar index using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. It performs multiple linear regressions over shifted periods and then aggregates these results to create an oscillator. In addition, it integrates a multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis by retrieving the same calculations on 3 different time intervals, providing a more comprehensive view of the trend evolution.
2. User Parameters
The indicator offers several configurable parameters that allow the user to adjust both the calculations and the display:
Source (Linear Regression): The data source on which the regressions are applied (by default, the closing price).
Number of Linear Regressions (numOfLinReg): Allows choosing the number of correlation calculations (up to 10) to be carried out on different shifted periods.
Start Period (startPeriod) and Period Increment (periodIncrement): These parameters define the reference window for each regression. The calculation starts with a base period and then increases with each regression by a fixed increment, creating several time windows to assess the relationship between price evolution and time progression.
Deviation (def_deviation): Although defined, this parameter is intended to control the sensitivity of the calculations. It can be used in further developments of the indicator.
For Multi Time Frames analysis, three additional timeframes are provided through inputs in addition of the current period:
Sum up :
Timeframe 1 = current
Timeframe 2 = 30-minute (default settings)
Timeframe 3 = 1-hour (default settings)
Timeframe 4 = 4-hour (default settings)
These different timeframes allow you to obtain consistent or divergent signals over multiple resolutions, thereby enhancing the confidence of trading decisions.
3. Calculation Logic
At the core of the indicator is the f_calcConditions() function, which performs several essential tasks:
Calculating Pearson's Coefficients For each linear regression, the script uses ta.correlation() to measure the correlation between the chosen source (for example, the closing price) and the chronological index (bar_index). Up to 10 coefficients are computed over shifted windows, providing an evolving view of the linear relationship over different intervals.
Averaging the Results Once the coefficients are calculated, they are stored in an array and averaged to produce a global correlation value called avgPR_local.
Applying Moving Averages
The resulting average is then smoothed using several moving averages (SMA):
A short-term SMA (period of 14),
An intermediate SMA (period of 100),
A long-term SMA (period of 400).
These moving averages help to highlight the underlying trend of the oscillator by indicating the direction in which the correlation is moving.
Defining Trading Conditions Based on avgPR_local and its associated SMAs, multiple conditions are set to generate buy or sell signals:
Simple SMA Conditions :
Small signal :
Light blue below bar signal :
When the averaged coefficients lie between -1 and -0.63, are above the short-term SMA (14 periods), and are increasing, it may indicate a bullish dynamic (buy signal).
Orange above bar signal :
Conversely, when the value is higher (between 0.63 and 1) and below its SMA (14 periods), and are decreasing the trend is considered bearish (sell signal).
Medium signal :
Dark green signal
When the averaged coefficients lie between -1 and -0.45, are above the short-term SMA (14 periods), and are increasing, and also the average 100 is increasing. It may indicate a bullish dynamic (buy signal).
Light red signal :
Conversely, when the value is higher (between 0.45 and 1) and below its SMA (14 periods), the trend and are decreasing, and also the average 100 is decreasing. It may indicate a bearish dynamic(sell signal).
Light green signal :
When the averaged coefficients lie between -1 and -0.15, are above the short-term SMA (14 periods), and are increasing, and also the average 100 & 400 is increasing . It may indicate a bullish dynamic (buy signal).
Dark red signal :
Conversely, when the value is higher (between 0.45 and 1) and below its SMA (14 periods), the trend and are decreasing, and also the average 100 & 400 is decreasing. It may indicate a bearish dynamic(sell signal).
These additional conditions further refine the signals by verifying the consistency of the movement over longer periods. They check that the trends from the respective averages (intermediate and long-term) are in line with the direction indicated by the initial moving average.
These conditions are designed to capture moments when the oscillator's dynamics change, which can be interpreted as opportunities to enter or exit a trade.
4. Multi-Timeframes and Display
One of the main strengths of this indicator is its multi-timeframe approach.
This offers several advantages:
Comparative Analysis: Compare short-term dynamics with broader trends.
Enhanced Signal Reliability: A signal confirmed across multiple timeframes has a higher probability of success.
To visually highlight these signals on the chart, the indicator uses the plotchar() function with distinct symbols for each timeframe:
Current Timeframe: Signals are represented by the character "1"
30-Minute Timeframe: Displayed with the character "2".
1-Hour Timeframe: Displayed with the character "3".
4-Hour Timeframe: Displayed with the character "4".
The colors used are various shades of green for buy signals and shades of red/orange for sell signals, making it easy to distinguish between the different alerts.
5. Integrated Alerts
To avoid missing any trading opportunities, the indicator includes an alert condition via the alertcondition() function. This alert is triggered if any buy or sell signal is generated on any of the analyzed timeframes. The message "MTF valide" indicates that multiple timeframes are confirming the signal, enabling more informed decision-making.
6. How to Use This Indicator
Installation and Configuration: Copy the script into the TradingView Pine Script editor and add it to your chart. The default parameters can be tuned according to market behavior or personal preferences regarding sensitivity and responsiveness.
Interpreting the Signals:
Watch for the symbols on the chart corresponding to each timeframe.
A buy signal appears as a specific symbol below the bar (indicating a bullish condition based on a rising or less negative correlation), while a sell signal appears above the bar.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: By comparing signals across timeframes, you can filter out false signals. For example, if the short-term timeframe shows a buy signal but the 4-hour timeframe indicates a bearish trend, you may need to reassess your position.
Adjusting the Settings: Depending on the asset type or market volatility, you might need to tweak the periods (startPeriod, periodIncrement) or the number of linear regressions to generate signals that better align with the price dynamics.
Using Alerts: Activate the built-in alert feature so that TradingView notifies you as soon as a multi-timeframe signal is detected. This ensures you stay informed even if you are not continuously monitoring the chart.
In Conclusion
The AWR Pearsons R & LR Oscillator MTF is a powerful tool for traders seeking a detailed understanding of market trends by combining statistical rigor (via Pearson's correlation coefficient) with a multi-timeframe approach. It is capable of generating clear entry and exit signals, visualized with specific symbols and colors depending on the timeframe. By adjusting the parameters to match your trading strategy and leveraging the alert system, you now have a robust instrument for making well-informed market decisions.
Feel free to dive deeper into each component and experiment with different configurations to see how the oscillator integrates with your overall technical analysis strategy. Enjoy exploring its potential and refining your trading approach!
