VWMA Keltner BandsKind of like Keltner Channel/Bands (stockcharts.com) but using VWMA instead so that volume is taken in to account.
Outside the upper band can considered to be 'overbought' and outside the lower band can be considered to be 'oversold'
Has option to highlight signals (i.e. when price closes outside a channel) and also the option to only display signals if the price is on the correct side of VWAP (i.e. no sell signals if price is above VWAP)

SCTR's oscillator
This tool is Inspired by John Murphy from Stock Charts. This indicator including the Long term, middle term and short term parameter. As John Murphy design, I kept the same proportion of the long, mid and short term as 60%, 30% and 10% but all could by modulated. This indicator is very simple and It range from 0.1 to 99.9, mean that full bullish is close of 99.9 and full bearish is close to 0.1. The 50's is the middle and mean there is no trend. It's interesting to figure with RSI and MACD together to indentified the strongest of trend. More easy to identify the ntop and bottom than the RSI or MACD.

DecisionPoint Price Momentum Oscillator [LazyBear]The DecisionPoint Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) is an oscillator based on a Rate of Change calculation that is smoothed twice with custom exponential moving averages. Because the PMO is normalized, it can also be used as a relative strength tool.
PMO can be used in many ways:
- PMO can be used to determine the OB/OS state. While the +2.5 to -2.5 is the usual range for broad stock market indexes, each price index will have its own “signature” range. You may have to tune this for your instrument.
- PMO triggers buy/sell on signal crossovers and ZERO crossovers.
- Common patterns like BullKiss, BearKiss are useful to track. See the link below for more info.
- Divergences.
- Histo-only mode that can be used similar to MACD-Histo.
I have exposed all params as configurable. Have fun tuning :) Don't forget to share what you found for your instrument.

MACD Color Trawler (by ChartArt)This version of the MACD indicator is 'trawling' (checking) if the MACD histogram and the zero line crossing with the MACD line are both positive or negative. The idea behind this is to show areas with higher or lower risk.
Features:
1. Enable the bar color
2. Enable the background color
3. Change zero line value
FYI:
"The MACD-Histogram is an indicator of an indicator. In fact, MACD is also an indicator of an indicator. This means that the MACD-Histogram is the fourth derivative of price."
First derivative: 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA
Second derivative: MACD (12-day EMA less the 26-day EMA)
Third derivative: MACD signal line (9-day EMA of MACD)
Fourth derivative: MACD-Histogram (MACD less MACD signal line)

The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows.
Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more new highs than new lows. 0 indicates there were zero new highs (0% new highs). 100 indicates there was at least 1 new high and no new lows (100% new highs). 50 indicates that new highs and new lows were equal (50% new highs).
Readings consistently above 70 usually coincide with a strong uptrend. Readings consistently below 30 usually coincide with a strong downtrend.

Just noticed @Greeny has already published this -> Linking it here.
McClellan Summation Index [LazyBear]McClellan Summation Index is a breadth indicator derived from McClellan Oscillator ().
The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values. Even though it is called a Summation Index, the indicator is really an oscillator that fluctuates above/below zero. As such, signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, directional movement and centerline crossovers. A moving average can also be applied to identify upturns and downturns.
Indicator uses the advancing/declining stocks from NYSE by default, but you can change them to any market in the options dialog.

McClellan Oscillator [LazyBear]Developed by Sherman and Marian McClellan, the McClellan Oscillator is a breadth indicator derived from Net Advances, the number of advancing issues less the number of declining issues. Subtracting the 39-day exponential moving average of Net Advances from the 19-day exponential moving average of Net Advances forms the oscillator.
As the formula reveals, the McClellan Oscillator is a momentum indicator that works similar to MACD.
McClellan Oscillator signals can be generated with breadth thrusts, centerline crossovers, overall levels and divergences.
I have added the following options:
- Can choose Advancing/Declining issues of any market. Default is NYSE.
- Can show the EMAs and/or oscillator.
- Ratio Adjusted Calculation mode (as explained in the stockcharts link below) or default mode.
- Can use custom timeframe. Default is chart timeframe.

My Personal Goal for this Indicator is to convert this into an Overlay, with All the components (Short/Mid/Long) meaningfully plotted out. This would make this indicator far more useful in predicting the future longer term trend.
SlopeThe slope indicator measures the rise-over-run of a linear regression, which is the line of best fit for a price series. Fluctuating above and below zero, the Slope indicator best resembles a momentum oscillator without boundaries. It is not well suited for overbought/oversold levels, but can measure the direction and strength of a trend. It can also be used with other indicators do identify potential entry points within an ongoing trend. (stockcharts.com)
Indicators: Traders Dynamic Index, HLCTrends and Trix Ribbon1) Trix Ribbon
===============================================================
This was built on request. Many Stock/FX traders overlay multiple Trix lines to form the ribbon, this indicator makes it easy.
Also, optionally this can plot a BollingerBand on Trix_1.

2) High/Low/Close Trend Indicator
===============================================================
Simple indicator using EMAs of H/L/C. If blue line is above the red line, the trend is up, else down. Keep an eye on the zero line too.
3) Traders Dynamic Index
===============================================================
This hybrid indicator helps to decipher and monitor market conditions related to trend direction, market strength, and market volatility.
TDI has the following components:
* Green line = RSI Price line
* Red line = Trade Signal line
* Blue lines = Volatility Bands
* Orange line = Market Base Line
Trend Direction - Immediate and Overall:
----------------------------------------------------
* Immediate = Green over Red...price action is moving up.
Red over Green...price action is moving down.
* Overall = Orange line trends up and down generally between the lines 32 & 68. Watch for Orange line to bounces off these lines for market reversal. Trade long when price is above the Orange line, and trade short when price is below.
Market Strength & Volatility - Immediate and Overall:
----------------------------------------------------
* Immediate = Green Line - Strong = Steep slope up or down.
Weak = Moderate to Flat slope.
* Overall = Blue Lines - When expanding, market is strong and trending. When constricting, market is weak and in a range. When the Blue lines are extremely tight in a narrow range, expect an economic announcement or other market condition to spike the market.
Entry conditions:
----------------------------------------------------
* Scalping - Long = Green over Red,
Short = Red over Green
* Active - Long = Green over Red & Orange lines
Short = Red over Green & Orange lines
* Moderate - Long = Green over Red, Orange, & 50 lines
Short= Red over Green, Green below Orange & 50 line
Exit conditions:
----------------------------------------------------
If Green crosses either Blue lines, consider exiting when the Green line crosses back over the Blue line.
* Long = Green crosses below Red
* Short = Green crosses above Red

PongExperience PONG! The classic arcade game, now on your charts!
With this indicator, you can finally achieve your lifelong dream of beating the Markets. . . at PONG!
Pong is jam-packed with features! Such as:
2 Paddles
A moving dot
Floating numbers
The idea of a net
This indicator is solely a visualization, it serves simply as an exercise to depict what is capable through PineScript. It can be used to re-skin other indicators or data, but on its own, is not intended as a market indicator.
With that out of the way...
> PONG
The Pong indicator is a recreation of the classic arcade game Pong developed to pit the markets against the cold hard logic of a CPU player.
Given the lack of interaction that is capable, the game is not played in the typical sense, by a player and computer or 2 players.
This version of Pong uses the chart price movements to control the "Market" Paddle, and it is contrasted by a (not AI) "CPU" Paddle, which is controlled by its own set of logic.
> Market Paddle
The Market Paddle is controlled by a data source which can be input by the user.
By default (Auto Mode), the Market Paddle is controlled through a fixed length Donchian channel range, pinning the range high to 100 and range low to 0. As seen below.
This can be altered to use data from different symbols or indicators, and can optionally be smoothed using multiple types of Moving Averages.
In the chart below, you can see how the RSI indicator is imported and smoothed to control the Market Paddle.
Note: The Market Paddle follows the moving average. If not desired, simply set the "Smoothing" input to "NONE".
> CPU Paddle
In simple terms, the CPU Paddle is a handicapped Aimbot.
Its logic is, more or less, "move directly towards the ball's vertical location".
If it were allowed to have full range of the screen, it would be impossible for it to lose a point. Due to this, we must slow it down to "play fair"... as fair as that may be.
The CPU Paddle is allowed to move at a rate specified by a certain Percent of its vertical width. By default, this is set to 2%.
Each update, the CPU Paddle can advance up or down 2% of its vertical width. The directional movement is determined based on the angle of the ball, and it's current position relative to the CPU Paddle's position. Given that it is not a direct follow, it may at times seem more... "human".
When a point is scored, the CPU paddle maintains its position, similar to the original Pong game, the paddles were controlled solely by the raw output of the controllers and did not reset.
> Ball
At the start of each point, the ball begins at the center of the screen and moves in a randomly determined angle at its base speed.
The direction is determined by the player who scored the last point. The loser of the last point "serves" the ball.
Given the circumstances, serving is a gigantic advantage. So the loser serving is just another place where the Market is given an advantage.
The ball's base speed is 1, it will move 1 (horizontal) bar on each update of the script. This speed can "technically" increase to infinity over time, if given the perfect rally. This is due to the hit logic as described below.
Note: The minimum ball speed is also 1.
> Bonk Math
When the ball hits a paddle, essentially 3 outcomes can occur, each resulting in the ball's direction being changed from positive to negative.
Action A: Its angle is doubled, and its speed is doubled.
Action B: Its angle is reversed, and its speed is decreased if it is going faster than base speed.
Action C: Its angle is preserved, and its speed is preserved. "Basic Bounce"
Each paddle is segmented into 3 zones, with the higher and lower tips (20%) of the paddles producing special actions.
The central 60% of each paddle produces a basic bounce. The special actions are determined by the trajectory of the ball and location on the paddle.
> Custom Mode
As stated above, the script loads in "Auto Mode" by default. While this works fine to simply watch the gameplay, the Custom Mode unlocks the ability to visualize countless possibilities of indicators and analyses playing Pong!
In the chart below, we have set up the game to use the NYSE TICK Index as our Market Player. The NYSE TICK Index shows the number of NYSE stocks trading on an uptick minus those on a downtick. Its values fluctuate throughout the day, typically ranging between +1000 and -1000.
Therefore, we have set up Pong to use Ticker USI:TICK and set the Upper Boundary to 1000 and Lower Boundary to -1000. With this method, the paddle is directly controlled by the overall (NYSE) market behaviors.
As seen in a chart earlier, you can also take advantage of the Custom Mode to overlay Pong onto traditional oscillators for use anywhere!
> Styles
This version of Pong comes stocked with 5 colorways to suit your chart vibes!
> Pro Tips & Additional Information
- This game has sound! For the full experience, set alerts for this indicator and a notification sound will play on each hit!*
*Due to server processing, the notification sounds are not precisely played at each hit. :(
- In auto mode, decreasing the length used will give an advantage to the market, as its actions become more sporadic over this window.
- The CPU logic system actually allows the market to have a "technical" edge, since the Market Paddle is not bound to any speed, and is solely controlled by the raw market movements/data input.
- This type of visualization only works on live charts, charts without updates will not see any movement.
- Indicator sources can only be imported from other indicators on the same chart.
- The base screen resolution is 159 bars wide, with the height determined by the boundaries.
- When using a symbol and an outside source, be mindful that the script is attempting to pull the source from the input symbol. Data can appear wonky when not considering the interactions of these inputs.
There are many small interesting details that can't be seen through the description. For example, the mid-line is made from a box. This is because a line object would not appear on top of the box used for the screen. For those keen eye'd coders, feel free to poke around in the source code to make the game truly custom.
Just remember:
The market may never be fair, but now at least it can play Pong!
Enjoy!
Retail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed IndexRetail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed Index
Overview
The Retail Sentiment Indicator provides real-time sentiment data for major financial instruments including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. This indicator displays retail trader positioning and market sentiment using CFD data and fear/greed indices.
Methodology and Scale Calculation
This indicator operates on a **-50 to +50 scale** with zero representing perfect market equilibrium.
Scale Interpretation:
- **Zero (0)**: Market balance - exactly 50% of investors buying, 50% selling
- **Positive values**: Majority buying pressure
- Example: If 63% of investors are buying, the indicator shows +13 (63 - 50 = +13)
- **Negative values**: Majority selling pressure
- Example: If 92% of investors are selling, the indicator shows -42 (50 - 92 = -42)
BTC Fear & Greed Index Scaling:
The original `BTC FEAR&GREED` index is natively scaled from 0-100 by its creator. In our indicator, this data has been rescaled to also fit the -50 to +50 range for consistency with other sentiment data sources.
This unified scaling approach allows for direct comparison across all instruments and data sources within the indicator.
-Important Data Source Selection-
Bitcoin (BTC) Data Sources
When viewing Bitcoin charts, the indicator offers **two different data sources**:
1. **Default Auto-Mode**: `BTCUSD Retail CFD` - Retail CFD traders sentiment data (automatically loaded).
2. **Manual Selection**: `BTC FEAR&GREED` - Fear & Greed Index from website: alternative dot me
**To access BTC Fear & Greed Index**: Input settings -> disable checkbox "Auto-load Sentiment Data" -> manually select "BTC FEAR&GREED" from the dropdown menu.
US Stock Market Data Sources
For US stocks and indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones), there are **two data source options**:
1. **Default Auto-Mode**: Individual retail CFD sentiment data for each instrument
2. **Manual Selection**: `SNN FEAR&GREED` - SNN's Fear & Greed Index covering the overall US market sentiment. SNN was used as the name to avoid any potential trademark infringement.
**To access SNN Fear & Greed Index**: When viewing US market charts, disable in input settings checkbox "Auto-load Sentiment Data" and manually select "SNN FEAR&GREED" from the dropdown menu.
This distinction allows traders to choose between **instrument-specific retail sentiment** (auto-mode) or **broader market sentiment indices** (manual selection).
Features

How to Use
1. **Auto Mode** (Default): Enable "Auto-load Sentiment Data" to automatically display sentiment for the current chart symbol
2. **Manual Mode**: Disable auto-load and select from the dropdown menu for specific instruments
3. **Interpretation**:
- Values above 0 (green) indicate retail greed/bullish sentiment
- Values below 0 (red) indicate retail fear/bearish sentiment
- Fear & Greed indices use 0-100 scale (50 is neutral)
Data Sources
This indicator uses curated sentiment data from retail CFD providers and established fear/greed indices. Data is updated regularly and sourced from reputable financial data providers.
Trading Strategy & Market Philosophy
Contrarian Trading Approach
The primary purpose of this indicator is based on the fundamental market principle that **the majority of retail investors are often wrong**, and markets typically move opposite to the positions held by the majority of market participants.
Key Strategy Guidelines:
- **Contrarian Signal**: When the majority of users are positioned on one side of the market, there is statistically greater market advantage in taking positions in the opposite direction
- **Trend Exhaustion Signal**: An interesting observed phenomenon occurs when, during a long-lasting trend where the majority of investors have consistently been on the wrong side, the Sentiment indicator suddenly shows that the majority has flipped and opened positions in the direction of that long-running trend. This is often a signal of fuel exhaustion for further movement in that direction
Interpretation Examples
- High greed readings (majority bullish) → Consider bearish opportunities
- High fear readings (majority bearish) → Consider bullish opportunities
- Sudden sentiment flip during established trends → Potential trend reversal signal
Technical Notes
- Built with PineScript v6
- Dynamic symbol detection with fallback options
- Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage
- Color-coded visualization with customizable zones
Data Sources & Expansion
Acknowledgments
We extend our gratitude to **TradingView** for enabling the use of custom data feeds based on GitHub repositories, making this comprehensive sentiment analysis possible.
Data Expansion Opportunities
As the operator of this indicator, I am **open to suggestions for new data sources** that could be integrated and published. If you have ideas for additional instruments or sentiment data:
How to Submit Suggestions:
1. Send a **private message** with your proposal
2. Include: **instrument/data type**, **source**, and **brief description**
3. If technically feasible, we will work to import and publish the data
Data Infrastructure Status
Current Data Upload Process:
Please note that sentiment data uploads may occasionally experience minor interruptions. However, this should not pose significant issues as sentiment data typically changes gradually rather than rapidly.
Infrastructure Development:
We are actively working on establishing permanent cloud-based infrastructure to ensure continuous, automated data collection and upload processes. This will provide more reliable and consistent data availability in the future.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Sentiment data should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The contrarian approach described is a market theory and may not always produce profitable results.
Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

**Best Practices:**
- Use appropriate profile types for your trading style:
- Day Trading: Session or Days Back (1-5 days)
- Swing Trading: Days Back (10-30 days) or N Bars Back
- Position Trading: Days Back (60-180 days)
- Consider market context (trending vs ranging conditions)
- Verify key levels with additional technical analysis
- Monitor profile development for changing market structure
**Performance Considerations:**
- Higher row counts increase calculation complexity
- Large lookback periods may affect chart performance
- Auto-adjust feature optimizes for most use cases
- Consider using session profiles for intraday efficiency
**Limitations:**
- Delta calculations are estimations, not actual transaction data
- Profile accuracy depends on available price/volume history
- Effectiveness varies across different instruments and market conditions
- Requires understanding of volume profile concepts for optimal use
**Data Requirements:**
- Requires volume data for accurate calculations
- Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume
- May be less effective on very low volume or exotic instruments
This script serves as a comprehensive volume analysis tool for traders who need detailed market structure information with integrated directional bias analysis and real-time POC development tracking for informed trading decisions.
Fear Volatility Gate [by Oberlunar]The Fear Volatility Gate by Oberlunar is a filter designed to enhance operational prudence by leveraging volatility-based risk indices. Its architecture is grounded in the empirical observation that sudden shifts in implied volatility often precede instability across financial markets. By dynamically interpreting signals from globally recognized "fear indices", such as the VIX, the indicator aims to identify periods of elevated systemic uncertainty and, accordingly, restrict or flag potential trade entries.
The rationale behind the Fear Volatility Gate is rooted in the understanding that implied volatility represents a forward-looking estimate of market risk. When volatility indices rise sharply, it reflects increased demand for options and a broader perception of uncertainty. In such contexts, price movements can become less predictable, more erratic, and often decoupled from technical structures. Rather than relying on price alone, this filter provides an external perspective—derived from derivative markets—on whether current conditions justify caution.
The indicator operates in two primary modes: single-source and composite . In the single-source configuration, a user-defined volatility index is monitored individually. In composite mode, the filter can synthesize input from multiple indices simultaneously, offering a more comprehensive macro-risk assessment. The filtering logic is adaptable, allowing signals to be combined using inclusive (ANY), strict (ALL), or majority consensus logic. This allows the trader to tailor sensitivity based on the operational context or asset class.
The indices available for selection cover a broad spectrum of market sectors. In the equity domain, the filter supports the CBOE Volatility Index ( CBOE:VIX VIX) for the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100 Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXN VXN), the Russell 2000 Volatility Index ( CBOEFTSE:RVX RVX), and the Dow Jones Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXD VXD). For commodities, it integrates the Crude Oil Volatility Index ( CBOE:OVX ), the Gold Volatility Index ( CBOE:GVZ ), and the Silver Volatility Index ( CBOE:VXSLV ). From the fixed income perspective, it includes the ICE Bank of America MOVE Index ( OKX:MOVEUSD ), the Volatility Index for the TLT ETF ( CBOE:VXTLT VXTLT), and the 5-Year Treasury Yield Index ( CBOE:FVX.P FVX). Within the cryptocurrency space, it incorporates the Bitcoin Volmex Implied Volatility Index ( VOLMEX:BVIV BVIV), the Ethereum Volmex Implied Volatility Index ( VOLMEX:EVIV EVIV), the Deribit Bitcoin Volatility Index ( DERIBIT:DVOL DVOL), and the Deribit Ethereum Volatility Index ( DERIBIT:ETHDVOL ETHDVOL). Additionally, the user may define a custom instrument for specialized tracking.
To determine whether market conditions are considered high-risk, the indicator supports three modes of evaluation.
The moving average cross mode compares a fast Hull Moving Average to a slower one, triggering a signal when short-term volatility exceeds long-term expectations.
The Z-score mode standardizes current volatility relative to historical mean and standard deviation, identifying significant deviations that may indicate abnormal market stress.
The percentile mode ranks the current value against a historical distribution, providing a relative perspective particularly useful when dealing with non-normal or skewed distributions.
When at least one selected index meets the condition defined by the chosen mode, and if the filtering logic confirms it, the indicator can mark the trading environment as “blocked”. This status is visually highlighted through background color changes and symbolic markers on the chart. An optional tabular interface provides detailed diagnostics, including raw values, fast-slow MA comparison, Z-scores, percentile levels, and binary risk status for each active index.
The Fear Volatility Gate is not a predictive tool in itself but rather a dynamic constraint layer that reinforces discipline under conditions of macro instability. It is particularly valuable when trading systems are exposed to highly leveraged or short-duration strategies, where market noise and sentiment can temporarily override structural price behavior. By synchronizing trading signals with volatility regimes, the filter promotes a more cautious, informed approach to decision-making.
This approach does not assume that all volatility spikes are harmful or that market corrections are imminent. Rather, it acknowledges that periods of elevated implied volatility statistically coincide with increased execution risk, slippage, and spread widening, all of which may erode the profitability of even the most technically accurate setups.
Therefore, the Fear Volatility Gate acts as a protective mechanism.

All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener (Enhanced)All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced: Uncover High-Conviction Trend Alignments with Confidence
Description:
Are you ready to elevate your trading from mere guesswork to precise, data-driven decisions? The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is not just another indicator; it's a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, trend-following powerhouse designed to cut through market noise and pinpoint high-probability trading opportunities. Built on the foundational strength of comprehensive Moving Average confluence and fortified with critical confirmation signals from Momentum, Volume, and Relative Strength, this script empowers you to identify truly robust trends and manage your trades with unparalleled clarity.
The Power of Multi-Factor Confluence: Beyond Simple Averages
In the unpredictable world of financial markets, true strength or weakness is rarely an isolated event. It's the harmonious alignment of multiple technical factors that signals a high-conviction move. While our original "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener" intelligently identified stocks where price was consistently above or below a full spectrum of Simple Moving Averages (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200), this Enhanced version takes it a crucial step further.
We've integrated a powerful three-pronged confirmation system to filter out weaker signals and highlight only the most compelling setups:
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC): A strong trend isn't just about price direction; it's about the speed and intensity of that movement. Positive momentum confirms that buyers are still aggressively pushing price higher (for bullish signals), while negative momentum validates selling pressure (for bearish signals).
Volume: No trend is truly trustworthy without the backing of smart money. Above-average volume accompanying an "All SMAs" alignment signifies strong institutional participation and conviction behind the move. It separates genuine trend starts from speculative whims.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): This versatile oscillator ensures the trend isn't just "there," but that it's developing healthily. We use RSI to confirm a bullish bias (above 50) or a bearish bias (below 50), adding another layer of confidence to the direction.
When the price aligns above ALL six critical SMAs, and is simultaneously confirmed by robust positive momentum, healthy volume, and a bullish RSI bias, you have an exceptionally strong "STRONGLY BULLISH" signal. This confluence often precedes sustained upward moves, signaling prime accumulation phases. Conversely, a "STRONGLY BEARISH" signal, where price is below ALL SMAs with negative momentum, confirming volume, and a bearish RSI bias, indicates powerful distribution and potential for significant downside.
How to Use This Enhanced Screener:
Add to Chart: Go to TradingView's Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
Customize Parameters: Fine-tune the lengths of your SMAs, RSI, Momentum, and Volume averages via the indicator's settings. Experiment to find what best suits your trading style and the assets you trade.
Choose Your Timeframe Wisely:
Daily (1D) and 4-Hour (240 min) are highly recommended. These timeframes cut through intraday noise and provide more reliable, actionable signals for swing and position trading.
Shorter timeframes (e.g., 15min, 60min) can be used by advanced day traders for very short-term entries, but be aware of increased volatility and noise.
Visual Confirmation:
Green/Red Triangles: Appear on your chart, indicating confirmed bullish or bearish signals.
Background Color: The chart background will subtly turn lime green for "STRONGLY BULLISH" and red for "STRONGLY BEARISH" conditions.
On-Chart Status Table: A clear table displays the current signal status ("STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH," or "SMAs Mixed") for immediate feedback.
Set Up Alerts (Your Primary Screener Tool): This is the game-changer! Create custom alerts on TradingView based on the "Confirmed Bullish Trade" and "Confirmed Bearish Trade" conditions. Receive instant notifications (email, pop-up, mobile) for any stock in your watchlist that meets these stringent criteria. This allows you to scan the entire market effortlessly and act decisively.
Strategic Stop-Loss Placement: The Trader's Lifeline
Even the most robust signals can fail. Protecting your capital is paramount. For this trend-following strategy, your stop-loss should be placed where the underlying trend structure is broken.
For a "STRONGLY BULLISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just below the most recent significant swing low (higher low). This is the last point where buyers stepped in to support the price. If price breaks below this, your bullish thesis is invalidated.
For a "STRONGLY BEARISH" Trade: Place your stop-loss just above the most recent significant swing high (lower high). If price breaks above this, your bearish thesis is invalidated.
Alternatively, consider placing your stop-loss just below the 20-period SMA (for bullish trades) or above the 20-period SMA (for bearish trades). A significant close beyond this intermediate-term average often indicates a critical shift in momentum. Always ensure your chosen stop-loss adheres to your pre-defined risk per trade (e.g., 1-2% of capital).
Disciplined Profit Booking: Maximizing Gains
Just as important as knowing when you're wrong is knowing when to take profits.
Trailing Stop-Loss: As your trade moves into profit, trail your stop-loss upwards (for longs) or downwards (for shorts). You can trail it using:
Previous Swing Lows/Highs: Move your stop to just below each new higher low (for longs) or just above each new lower high (for shorts).
A Moving Average (e.g., 10-period or 20-period SMA): If price closes below your chosen trailing SMA, exit. This allows you to ride the trend while protecting accumulated profits.
Target Levels: Identify potential resistance levels (for longs) or support levels (for shorts) using pivot points, previous highs/lows, or Fibonacci extensions. Consider taking partial profits at these levels and letting the rest run with a trailing stop.
Loss of Confluence: If the "STRONGLY BULLISH/BEARISH" condition ceases to be met (e.g., RSI crosses below 50, or volume drops significantly), this can be a signal to reduce or exit your position, even if your stop-loss hasn't been hit.
The "All SMAs Bullish/Bearish Screener Enhanced" is your comprehensive partner in navigating the markets. By combining robust trend identification with critical confirmation signals and disciplined risk management, you're equipped to make smarter, more confident trading decisions. Add it to your favorites and unlock a new level of precision in your trading journey!

OVERVIEW
Trend Sync is a multi-layered trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify high-probability trend continuation setups while avoiding low-quality entries caused by overbought or oversold market conditions.
This indicator combines the power of Moving Averages (MA), MACD , and a visual RSI-based filter to validate both trend direction and timing for entries. It's goal is simple: filter out noise and highlight only the most technically relevant buy and sell signals based on objective momentum and trend criteria.
---
WALKTHROUGH
This indicator is built for traders seeking to operate in the direction of established trends. It's core principle is to identify and validate current trend conditions, and then signal entry opportunities during pullbacks to key moving averages.
Trend identification is achieved through the alignment of two moving averages. When these MAs are crossed and angled in the same direction, they confirm that a trend is in progress. To double-confirm trend direction, the MACD histogram is used—only. When both the MAs and MACD are aligned in the same direction, then the trend is considered valid.
Once all trend criteria are met, a dynamic coloring system is activated to visually reinforce the trend across the candles and moving averages.
To avoid poor entries during market exhaustion, an RSI-based filter is used. This short-term RSI highlights overbought or oversold zones, helping traders filter trades in extreme price conditions.
Only when the trend is validated and price pulls back to one of the MAs will a buy/sell signal be triggered, aligning momentum, price action and timing into a single actionable setup.
This combination ensures that each component plays a specific role:
i) Moving Averages define the trend
ii) MACD validates it
iii) RSI filters noise
iv) Intrabar price action triggers entries
This synchronism helps improve decision-making and entry timing, especially for swing and intraday traders.
---
USE CASES
- Identifying trend continuation setups
- Filtering false signals during consolidation phases
- Avoiding trades in overbought or oversold zones
- Enhancing entry timing for both swing and intraday strategies
- Providing visual confirmation of trend strength and momentum alignment
---
KEY FEATURES
1. Dual Moving Average Setup
The indicator allows full customization of two moving averages (MA1 and MA2), supporting both EMA and SMA types. The slope of the longer MA (MA2) acts as an essential trend filter, ensuring signals are only generated when the market shows clear directional bias.
2. MACD Histogram Trend Confirmation
A classic MACD Histogram calculation is used to validate the momentum of the prevailing trend.
- Bullish Trend: Histogram > 0
- Bearish Trend: Histogram < 0
This step filters out counter-trend signals and ensures trades are aligned with momentum.
3. Intrabar Price Trigger
Unlike standard crossover systems, this indicator waits for intrabar price action to trigger entries:
- Buy Signal: Price crosses below one of the MAs during an uptrend (dip-buy logic)
- Sell Signal: Price crosses above one of the MAs during a downtrend (rally-sell logic)
This intrabar trigger improves entry timing and helps capture retracement-based opportunities.
4. RSI Visual Filter
A short-term RSI is plotted and color-coded to visually highlight overbought and oversold conditions, acting as a discretionary filter for users to avoid low-probability trades during exhaustion points.
5. Dynamic Coloring System
Bar Colors:
- Blue: Bullish trend
- Red: Bearish trend
- Orange: RSI Overbought/Oversold zones
MA Colors:
- Blue for bullish conditions
- Red for bearish conditions
- Gray for neutral/no-trend phases
6. Signal Markers and Alerts
Clear visual buy and sell markers are plotted directly on the chart.
Additionally, the indicator includes real-time alerts for both Buy and Sell signals, helping traders stay informed even when away from the screen.

INPUTS AND CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
- Moving Average Types: EMA or SMA for both MA1 and MA2.
- MACD Settings: Customizable fast, slow, and signal periods.
- RSI Settings: Source, length, and overbought/oversold levels fully adjustable.

REVELATIONS (VoVix - PoC) REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC): True Regime Detection Before the Move
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Most strategies on TradingView are recycled—RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, Stochastics. They all lag. No matter how many overlays you stack, every one of these “standard” indicators fires after the move is underway. The retail crowd almost always gets in late. That’s never been enough for my team, for DAFE, or for anyone who’s traded enough to know the real edge vanishes by the time the masses react.
How is this different?
REVELATIONS (VoVix - POC) was engineered from raw principle, structured to detect pre-move regime change—before standard technicals even light up. We built, tested, and refined VoVix to answer one hard question:
What if you could see the spike before the trend?
Here’s what sets this system apart, line-by-line:
o True volatility-of-volatility mathematics: It’s not just "ATR of ATR" or noise smoothing. VoVix uses normalized, multi-timeframe v-vol spikes, instantly detecting orderbook stress and "outlier" market events—before the chart shows them as trends.
o Purist regime clustering: Every trade is enabled only during coordinated, multi-filter regime stress. No more signals in meaningless chop.
o Nonlinear entry logic: No trade is ever sent just for a “good enough” condition. Every entry fires only if every requirement is aligned—local extremes, super-spike threshold, regime index, higher timeframe, all must trigger in sync.
o Adaptive position size: Your contracts scale up with event strength. Tiny size during nominal moves, max leverage during true regime breaks—never guesswork, never static exposure.
o All exits governed by regime decay logic: Trades are closed not just on price targets but at the precise moment the market regime exhausts—the hardest part of systemic trading, now solved.
How this destroys the lag:
Standard indicators (RSI, MACD, OBV, CCI, and even most “momentum” overlays) simply tell you what already happened. VoVix triggers as price structure transitions—anyone running these generic scripts will trade behind the move while VoVix gets in as stress emerges. Real alpha comes from anticipation, not confirmation.
The visuals only show what matters:
Top right, you get a live, live quant dashboard—regime index, current position size, real-time performance (Sharpe, Sortino, win rate, and wins). Bottom right: a VoVix "engine bar" that adapts live with regime stress. Everything you see is a direct function of logic driving this edge—no cosmetics, no fake momentum.
Inputs/Signals—explained carefully for clarity:
o ATR Fast Length & ATR Slow Length:
These are the heart of VoVix’s regime sensing. Fast ATR reacts to sharp volatility; Slow ATR is stability baseline. Lower Fast = reacts to every twitch; higher Slow = requires more persistent, “real” regime shifts.
Tip: If you want more signals or faster markets, lower ATR Fast. To eliminate noise, raise ATR Slow.
o ATR StdDev Window: Smoothing for volatility-of-volatility normalization. Lower = more jumpy, higher = only the cleanest spikes trigger.
Tip: Shorten for “jumpy” assets, raise for indices/futures.
o Base Spike Threshold: Think of this as your “minimum event strength.” If the current move isn’t volatile enough (normalized), no signal.
Tip: Higher = only biggest moves matter. Lower for more signals but more potential noise.
o Super Spike Multiplier: The “are you sure?” test—entry only when the current spike is this multiple above local average.
Tip: Raise for ultra-selective/swing-trading; lower for more active style.
Regime & MultiTF:
o Regime Window (Bars):
How many bars to scan for regime cluster “events.” Short for turbo markets, long for big swings/trends only.
o Regime Event Count: Only trade when this many spikes occur within the Regime Window—filters for real stress, not isolated ticks.
Tip: Raise to only ever trade during true breakouts/crashes.
o Local Window for Extremes:
How many bars to check that a spike is a local max.
Tip: Raise to demand only true, “clearest” local regime events; lower for early triggers.
o HTF Confirm:
Higher timeframe regime confirmation (like 45m on an intraday chart). Ensures any event you act on is visible in the broader context.
Tip: Use higher timeframes for only major moves; lower for scalping or fast regimes.
Adaptive Sizing:
o Max Contracts (Adaptive): The largest size your system will ever scale to, even on extreme event.
Tip: Lower for small accounts/conservative risk; raise on big accounts or when you're willing to go big only on outlier events.
o Min Contracts (Adaptive): The “toe-in-the-water.” Smallest possible trade.
Tip: Set as low as your broker/exchange allows for safety, or higher if you want to always have meaningful skin in the game.
Trade Management:
o Stop %: Tightness of your stop-loss relative to entry. Lower for tighter/safer, higher for more breathing room at cost of greater drawdown.
o Take Profit %: How much you'll hold out for on a win. Lower = more scalps. Higher = only run with the best.
o Decay Exit Sensitivity Buffer: Regime index must dip this far below the trading threshold before you exit for “regime decay.”
Tip: 0 = exit as soon as stress fails, higher = exits only on stronger confirmation regime is over.
o Bars Decay Must Persist to Exit: How long must decay be present before system closes—set higher to avoid quick fades and whipsaws.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 1 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–3 contracts
No pyramiding, no hidden DCA
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for NQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Tip: Set to 1 for instant regime exit; raise for extra confirmation (less whipsaw risk, exits held longer).
________________________________________
Bottom line: Tune the sensitivity, selectivity, and risk of REVELATIONS by these inputs. Raise thresholds and windows for only the best, most powerful signals (institutional style); lower for activity (scalpers, fast cryptos, signals in constant motion). Sizing is always adaptive—never static or martingale. Exits are always based on both price and regime health. Every input is there for your control, not to sell “complexity.” Use with discipline, and make it your own.
This strategy is not just a technical achievement: It’s a statement about trading smarter, not just more.
* I went back through the code to make sure no the strategy would not suffer from repainting, forward looking, or any frowned upon loopholes.
Disclaimer:
Trading is risky and carries the risk of substantial loss. Do not use funds you aren’t prepared to lose. This is for research and informational purposes only, not financial advice. Backtest, paper trade, and know your risk before going live. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Expect more: We’ll keep pushing the standard, keep evolving the bar until “quant” actually means something in the public code space.
Use with clarity, use with discipline, and always trade your edge.
