EMAs Personalizáveis (até 5)📘 Indicator Explanation – Customizable EMAs (up to 5)
This indicator was developed in Pine Script v6 to make it easier to visualize multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on a single chart.
🔑 Main features:
Supports up to 5 different EMAs.
Ability to enable or disable each EMA individually.
Fully customizable period for each EMA.
Flexible color selection for better visual organization.
Adjustable line thickness to highlight the most relevant levels.
📌 How to use:
Open the indicator settings.
Select which EMAs you want to display (from 1 to 5).
Define the period (e.g., 20, 50, 100, 200, etc.).
Choose a color for each EMA.
Observe price behavior relative to the EMAs to identify:
Trends → price above long EMAs indicates bullish strength.
Reversals → EMA crossovers may signal a change in direction.
Dynamic support and resistance → EMAs often act as reaction zones for price.
💡 Practical example:
Short EMA (20) → shows short-term movement.
Mid-term EMA (50 or 100) → confirms trend direction.
Long EMA (200 or 500) → indicates the overall market trend.
👉 This indicator is flexible and can be used for scalping, swing trading, or position trading, depending on the chosen periods.
Custom MACD (Normalized by ATR)This is a modified version of the classic MACD indicator.
Instead of using just the difference between EMA(12) and EMA(26), this version normalizes the MACD line by ATR(26) and scales it by 100:
* 100
This adjustment makes the MACD relative to market volatility, allowing for easier comparison across assets and timeframes.
The idea of normalizing MACD with ATR comes from Alex Spioglou, who suggested this improvement to enhance signal consistency in volatile markets.
Plots include the ATR-normalized MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram, with rising/falling color cues and built-in alert conditions.

string t1 = 'Maximum Length: This parameter sets the upper limit for the number of bars considered in the dynamic moving average. A higher value smooths out the trend line, making it less reactive to minor fluctuations but slower to adapt to sudden price movements. Use higher values for long-term trend analysis and lower values for faster-moving markets.'
string t2 = 'Accelerator Multiplier: Adjusts the responsiveness of the dynamic moving average to price changes. A larger value makes the trend more reactive but can introduce noise in choppy markets. Lower values create a smoother trend but may lag behind rapid price movements. This is particularly useful in volatile markets where precise sensitivity is needed.'
string t5 = 'Enable Candles: When enabled, the candlesticks on the chart will be color-coded based on the calculated trend speed. This provides a visual representation of momentum, making it easier to spot shifts in market dynamics. Disable this if you prefer the standard candlestick colors.'
string t6 = 'Collection Period: Defines the number of bars used to normalize trend speed values. A higher value includes a broader historical range, smoothing out the speed calculation. Lower values make the speed analysis more sensitive to recent price changes, ideal for short-term trading.'
string t7 = 'Enable Table: Activates a statistical table that provides an overview of key metrics, such as average wave height, maximum wave height, dominance, and wave ratios. Useful for traders who want numerical insights to complement visual trend analysis.'
string t8 = 'Lookback Period: Determines how many historical bars are used for calculating bullish and bearish wave data. A longer lookback period provides a more comprehensive view of market trends but may dilute sensitivity to recent market conditions. Shorter periods focus on recent data.'
string t9 = 'Start Date: Sets the starting point for all calculations. This allows you to analyze data only from a specific date onward, which is useful for isolating trends within a certain period or avoiding historical noise.'
string t10 = 'Timer Option: Select between using a custom start date or starting from the first available bar on the chart. The \'Custom\' option works with the Start Date setting, while \'From start\' includes all available data.'
// Tooltips for Table Cells
string tt1 = 'Average Wave: Shows the average size of bullish or bearish waves during the lookback period. Use this to assess overall market strength. Larger values indicate stronger trends, and comparing bullish vs bearish averages can reveal market bias. For instance, a higher bullish average suggests a stronger uptrend.'
string tt2 = 'Max Wave: Displays the largest bullish or bearish wave during the lookback period. Use this to identify peak market momentum. A significantly higher bullish or bearish max wave indicates where the market may have shown extreme trend strength in that direction.'
string tt3 = 'Current Wave Ratio (Average): Compares the current wave\'s size to the average wave size for both bullish and bearish trends. A value above 1 indicates the current wave is stronger than the historical average, which may signal increased market momentum. Use this to evaluate if the current move is significant compared to past trends.'
string tt4 = 'Current Wave Ratio (Max): Compares the current wave\'s size to the maximum wave size for both bullish and bearish trends. A value above 1 suggests the current wave is setting new highs in strength, which could indicate a breakout or strong momentum in the trend direction.'
string tt5 = 'Dominance (Average): The net difference between the average bullish and bearish wave sizes. Positive values suggest bullish dominance over time, while negative values indicate bearish dominance. Use this to determine which side (bulls or bears) has had consistent control of the market over the lookback period.'
string tt6 = 'Dominance (Max): The net difference between the largest bullish and bearish wave sizes. Positive values suggest bulls have dominated with stronger individual waves, while negative values indicate bears have produced stronger waves. Use this to gauge the most significant power shifts in the market.'

VCP + TTM Squeeze Breakout Detection ToolThis open-source script combines two powerful concepts into a single breakout detection tool:
1. **VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern)**
Based on Mark Minervini’s principle of structured volatility contraction.
The script identifies low ATR environments combined with a strong trend filter using EMA 50, EMA 100, and EMA 200.
A pivot high is fixed using a rolling high from the last X candles.
2. **TTM Squeeze (inspired by Beardy_Fred's Pro version)**
This module compares Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels.
When the Bollinger Bands fit inside the Keltner Channels, it signals volatility compression.
The script classifies the squeeze intensity into four stages using colored dots:
- **Green:** No squeeze
- **Black:** Light compression
- **Red:** Medium compression
- **Orange:** Strong compression
A linear momentum oscillator adds directional confirmation by plotting aqua bars above price if momentum is positive.
---
### **Signal Logic**
- **Yellow Dots (Setup Potential)**
Appear when VCP criteria are met **and** either momentum is bearish or the squeeze is still active (non-green).
- **Green Dots (Breakout Active)**
Appear only when:
- Price breaks above pivot high
- EMA filter is valid
- Squeeze has resolved (green)
- Volume is higher than the previous bar
- Momentum is positive
Breakout status is removed once volume AND true range drop below their respective short-term averages.
---
### **Visual Elements**
- 3 EMA Lines: EMA 50 (blue), EMA 100 (orange), EMA 200 (red)
- Pivot line (red), based on recent high
- Colored squeeze state (dots at zero line)
- Yellow dots (pre-breakout tension)
- Green dots (confirmed breakout)
- Aqua bars above price (momentum strength)

Contrarian Period High & LowContrarian Period High & Low
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Overview
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed for traders seeking to identify key support and resistance levels and capitalize on contrarian trading opportunities. By tracking the highest highs and lowest lows over user-defined periods (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly), this indicator plots historical levels and generates buy and sell signals when price breaks these levels in a contrarian manner. A unique blue dot counter and action table enhance decision-making, making it ideal for swing traders, trend followers, and those trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies. Optimized for daily charts, it can be adapted to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the highest high and lowest low within a specified period (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly) and draws horizontal lines for the previous period’s extremes on the chart. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones. Contrarian signals are generated when the price crosses below the previous period’s low (buy signal) or above the previous period’s high (sell signal), indicating potential reversals. A blue dot counter tracks consecutive buy signals, and a table displays the count and recommended action, helping traders decide whether to hold or flip positions.
Key Components
Period High/Low Levels: Tracks the highest high and lowest low for each period, plotting red lines for highs and green lines for lows from the bar where they occurred, extending for a user-defined length (default: 200 bars).
Contrarian Signals: Generates buy signals (blue circles) when price crosses below the previous period’s low and sell signals (white circles) when price crosses above the previous period’s high, designed to capture potential reversals.
Blue Dot Tracker: Counts consecutive buy signals (“blue dots”). If three or more occur, it suggests a stronger trend, with the table recommending whether to “Hold Investment” or “Flip Investment.”
Action Table: A 2x2 table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and action (“Hold Investment” if count ≥ 4, else “Flip Investment”) for quick reference.
Mathematical Concepts
Period Detection: Uses an approximate bar count to define periods (1 bar for Daily, 5 bars for Weekly, 20 bars for Monthly on a daily chart). When a new period starts, the previous period’s high/low is finalized and plotted.
High/Low Tracking:
Highest high (periodHigh) and lowest low (periodLow) are updated within the period.
Lines are drawn at these levels when the period ends, starting from the bar where the extreme occurred (periodHighBar, periodLowBar).
Signal Logic:
Buy signal: ta.crossunder(close , prevPeriodLow) and not lowBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Sell signal: ta.crossover(close , prevPeriodHigh) and not highBroken and barstate.isconfirmed
Flags (highBroken, lowBroken) prevent multiple signals for the same level within a period.
Blue Dot Counter: Increments on each buy signal, resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Circle): Triggered when the price crosses below the previous period’s low, suggesting a potential oversold condition and buying opportunity. The signal appears as a blue circle below the price bar.
Sell Signal (White Circle): Triggered when the price crosses above the previous period’s high, indicating a potential overbought condition and selling opportunity. The signal appears as a white circle above the price bar.
Blue Dot Tracker:
Increments blueDotCount on each buy signal and sets an entryPrice on the first buy.
Resets on a sell signal or if price exceeds entryPrice after three or more buy signals.
If blueDotCount >= 3, the table suggests holding; if >= 4, it reinforces “Hold Investment.”
Exit Rules: Exit a buy position on a sell signal or when price exceeds the entry price after three or more buy signals. Combine with other tools (e.g., trendlines, support/resistance) for additional confirmation. Always apply proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator is optimized for daily charts but can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) with adjustments to the period bar count. It excels in markets with clear support/resistance levels and potential reversal zones. Traders should:
Backtest the indicator on their chosen asset and timeframe to validate signal reliability.
Combine with other technical tools (e.g., moving averages, Fibonacci levels) for stronger trade confirmation.
Adjust barsPerPeriod (e.g., ~120 bars for Weekly on hourly charts) based on the chart timeframe and market volatility.
Monitor the action table to guide position management based on blue dot counts.
Customization Options
Period Type: Choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods (default: Monthly).
Line Length: Set the length of high/low lines in bars (default: 200).
Show Highs/Lows: Toggle visibility of period high (red) and low (green) lines.
Max Lines to Keep: Limit the number of historical lines displayed (default: 10).
Hide Signals: Toggle buy/sell signal visibility for a cleaner chart.
Table Display: A fixed table in the bottom-right corner shows the blue dot count and action, with yellow (Hold) or green (Flip) backgrounds based on the count.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian Period High & Low" indicator offers a unique blend of support/resistance visualization and contrarian signal generation, making it a versatile tool for identifying potential reversals. Its clear visual cues (lines and signals), blue dot tracker, and actionable table provide traders with an intuitive way to monitor market structure and manage trades. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, this indicator enhances your ability to spot key levels and time entries/exits effectively.
Tips for Users
Test the indicator thoroughly on your chosen market and timeframe to optimize settings (e.g., adjust barsPerPeriod for non-daily charts).
Use in conjunction with price action or other indicators for stronger trade setups.
Monitor the action table to decide whether to hold or flip positions based on blue dot counts.
Ensure your chart timeframe aligns with the selected period type (e.g., daily chart for Monthly periods).
Apply strict risk management to protect against false breakouts.

Bitcoin Lagging (N Days)This indicator overlays Bitcoin’s price on any chart with a user-defined N-day lag. You can select the BTC symbol and timeframe (daily recommended), choose which price source to use (open, high, low, close, hlc3, ohlc4), and shift the series by a chosen number of days. An option to normalize the series to 100 at the first visible value is also available, along with the ability to display the original BTC line for comparison.
It is designed for traders and researchers who want to test lagging relationships between Bitcoin and other assets, observe correlation changes, or visualize how BTC’s past prices might align with current market movements. The lagging is calculated based on daily candles, so even if applied on intraday charts, the shift remains in daily units.

Stochastic [Paifc0de]Stochastic — clean stochastic oscillator with visual masking, neutral markers, and basic filters
What it does
This indicator plots a standard stochastic oscillator (%K with smoothing and %D) and adds practical quality-of-life features for lower timeframes: optional visual masking when %K hugs overbought/oversold, neutral K–D cross markers, session-gated edge triangles (K crossing 20/80), and simple filters (minimum %K slope, minimum |K–D| gap, optional %D slope agreement, mid-zone mute, and a cooldown between markers). Display values are clamped to 0–100 to keep the panel scale stable. The tool is for research/education and does not generate entries/exits or financial advice.
Default preset: 20 / 10 / 10
K Length = 20
Classic lookback used in many textbooks. On intraday charts it balances responsiveness and stability: short enough to react to momentum shifts, long enough to avoid constant whipsaws. In practice it captures ~the last 20 bars’ position of close within the high–low range.
K Smoothing = 10
A 10-period SMA applied to the raw %K moderates the “saw-tooth” effect that raw stochastic can exhibit in choppy phases. The smoothing reduces over-reaction to micro spikes while preserving the main rhythm of swings; visually, %K becomes a continuous path that is easier to read.
D Length = 10
%D is the moving average of smoothed %K. With 10, %D becomes a clearly slower guide line. The larger separation between %K(10-SMA) and %D(10-SMA of %K) produces cleaner crosses and fewer spurious toggles than micro settings (e.g., 3/3/3). On M5–M15 this pair often yields readable cross cycles without flooding the chart.
How the 20/10/10 trio behaves
In persistent trends, %K will spend more time near 20 or 80; the 10-period smoothing delays flips slightly and emphasizes only meaningful turn attempts.
In ranges, %K oscillates around mid-zone (40–60). With 10/10 smoothing, cross signals cluster less densely; combining with the |K–D| gap filter helps keep only decisive crosses.
If your symbol is unusually volatile or illiquid, reduce K Length (e.g., 14) or reduce K Smoothing (e.g., 7) to keep responsiveness. If crosses feel late, decrease D Length (e.g., 7). If noise is excessive, increase K Smoothing first, then consider raising D Length.
Visuals
OB/OS lines: default 80/20 reference levels and a midline at 50.
Masking near edges: %K can be temporarily hidden when it is pressing an edge, approaching it with low slope, or going nearly flat near the boundary. This keeps the panel readable during “stuck at the edge” phases.
Soft glow (optional): highlights %K’s active path; can be turned off.
Light/Dark palette: quick toggle to match your chart theme.
Scale safety: all plotted values (lines, fills, markers) are clamped to 0–100 to prevent the axis from expanding beyond the stochastic range.
Markers and filters
Neutral K–D cross markers: circles in the mid-zone when %K crosses %D.
Edge triangles: show when %K crosses 20 or 80; can be restricted to a session window (02:00–12:00 ET).
Filters (optional):
Min %K slope: require a minimum absolute slope so very flat crosses are ignored.
Min |K–D| gap: demand separation between lines at the cross moment.
%D slope agreement: keep crosses that align with %D’s direction.
Mid-zone mute: suppress crosses inside a user-defined 40–60 band (defaults).
Cooldown: minimum bars between successive markers.
Parameters (quick guide)
K Length / K Smoothing / D Length: core stochastic settings. Start with 20/10/10; tune K Smoothing first if you see too much jitter.
Overbought / Oversold (80/20): adjust for assets that tend to trend (raise to 85/15) or mean-revert (lower to 75/25).
Slope & gap filters: increase on very noisy symbols; reduce if you miss too many crosses.
Session window (triangles only): use if you want edge markers only during active hours.
Marker size and offset: cosmetic; they do not affect calculations.
Alerts
K–D Cross Up (filtered) and K–D Cross Down (filtered): fire when a cross passes your filters/cooldown.
Edge Up / Edge Down: fire when %K crosses the 20/80 levels.
All alerts confirm on bar close.

Initial Balance Breakout Signals [LuxAlgo]The Initial Balance Breakout Signals help traders identify breakouts of the Initial Balance (IB) range.
The indicator includes automatic detection of IB or can use custom sessions, highlights top and bottom IB extensions, custom Fibonacci levels, and goes further with an IB forecast with two different modes.
🔶 USAGE
The initial balance is the price range made within the first hour of the trading session. It is an intraday concept based on the idea that high volume and volatility enter the market through institutional trading at the start of the session, setting the tone for the rest of the day.
The initial balance is useful for gauging market sentiment, or, in other words, the relationship between buyers and sellers.
Bullish sentiment: Price trades above the IB range.
Mixed sentiment: Price trades within the IB range.
Bearish sentiment: Price trades below the IB range.
The initial balance high and low are important levels that many traders use to gauge sentiment. There are two main ideas behind trading around the IB range.
IB Extreme Breakout: When the price breaks and holds the IB high or low, there is a high probability that the price will continue in that direction.
IB Extreme Rejection: When the price tries to break those levels but fails, there is a high probability that it will reach the opposite IB extreme.
This indicator is a complete Initial Balance toolset with custom sessions, breakout signals, IB extensions, Fibonacci retracements, and an IB forecast. All of these features will be explained in the following sections.
🔹 Custom Sessions and Signals
By default, sessions for Initial Balance and breakout signals are in Auto mode. This means that Initial Balance takes the first hour of the trading session and shows breakout signals for the rest of the session.
With this option, traders can use the tool for open range trading, making it highly versatile. The concept behind open range (OR) is the same as that of initial balance (IB), but in OR, the range is determined by the first minute, three or five minutes, or up to the first 30 minutes of the trading session.
As shown in the image above, the top chart uses the Auto feature for the IB and Breakouts sessions. The bottom chart has the Auto feature disabled to use custom sessions for both parameters. In this case, the first three minutes of the trading session are used, turning the tool into an Open Range trading indicator.
This chart shows another example of using custom sessions to display overnight NASDAQ futures sessions.
The left chart shows a custom session from the Tokyo open to the London open, and the right chart shows a custom session from the London open to the New York open.
The chart shows both the Asian and European sessions, their top and bottom extremes, and the breakout signals from those extremes.
🔹 Initial Balance Extensions
Traders can easily extend both extremes of the Initial Balance to display their preferred targets for breakouts. Enable or disable any of them and set the IB percentage to use for the extension.
As the chart shows, the percentage selected on the settings panel directly affects the displayed levels.
Setting 25 means the tool will use a quarter of the detected initial balance range for extensions beyond the IB extremes. Setting 100 means the full IB range will be used.
Traders can use these extensions as targets for breakout signals.
🔹 Fibonacci Levels
Traders can display default or custom Fibonacci levels on the IB range to trade retracements and assess the strength of market movements. Each level can be enabled or disabled and customized by level, color, and line style.
As we can see on the chart, after the IB was completed, prices were unable to fall below the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This indicates significant bullish pressure, so it is expected that prices will rise.
Traders can use these levels as guidelines to assess the strength of the side trying to penetrate the IB. In this case, the sellers were unable to move the market beyond the first level.
🔹 Initial Balance Forecast
The tool features two different forecasting methods for the current IB. By default, it takes the average of the last ten values and applies a multiplier of one.
IB Against Previous Open: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the previous session.
Filter by current day of the week: averages the difference between IB extremes and the open of the current session for the same day of the week.
This feature allows traders to see the difference between the current IB and the average of the last IBs. It makes it very easy to interpret: if the current IB is higher than the average, buyers are in control; if it is lower than the average, sellers are in control.
For example, on the left side of the chart, we can see that the last day was very bullish because the IB was completely above the forecasted value. This is the IB mean of the last ten trading days.
On the right, we can see that on Monday, September 15, the IB traded slightly higher but within the forecasted value of the IB mean of the last ten Mondays. In this case, it is within expectations.

Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) [SharpStrat]Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO)
The Momentum Shift Oscillator (MSO) is a custom-built oscillator that combines the best parts of RSI, ROC, and MACD into one clean, powerful indicator. Its goal is to identify when momentum shifts are happening in the market, filtering out noise that a single momentum tool might miss.
Why MSO?
Most traders rely on just one momentum indicator like RSI, MACD, or ROC. Each has strengths, but also weaknesses:
RSI → great for overbought/oversold, but often lags in strong trends.
ROC (Rate of Change) → captures price velocity, but can be too noisy.
MACD Histogram → shows trend strength shifts, but reacts slowly at times.
By blending all three (with adjustable weights), MSO gives a balanced view of momentum. It captures trend strength, velocity, and exhaustion in one oscillator.
How MSO Works
Inputs:
RSI, ROC, and MACD Histogram are calculated with user-defined lengths.
Each is normalized (so they share the same scale of -100 to +100).
You can set weights for RSI, ROC, and MACD to emphasize different components.
The components are blended into a single oscillator value.
Smoothing (SMA, EMA, or WMA) is applied.
MSO plots as a smooth line, color-coded by slope (green rising, red falling).
Overbought and oversold levels are plotted (default: +60 / -60).
A zero line helps identify bullish vs bearish momentum shifts.
How to trade with MSO
Zero line crossovers → crossing above zero suggests bullish momentum; crossing below zero suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and oversold zones → values above +60 may indicate exhaustion in bullish moves; values below -60 may signal exhaustion in bearish moves.
Slope of the line → a rising line shows strengthening momentum, while a falling line signals fading momentum.
Divergences → if price makes new highs or lows but MSO does not, it can point to a possible reversal.
Why MSO is Unique
Combines trend + momentum + velocity into one view.
Filters noise better than standalone RSI/MACD.
Adapts to both trend-following and mean-reversion styles.
Can be used across any timeframe for confirmation.
Japan Yen Carry Trade to Risk Ratio Sharpe Ratio By UncleBFMStep-by-Step Calculation in the ScriptFetch Rates:Pulls rates dynamically using request.security() from user-specified symbols (e.g., TVC:JP10Y for yen, TVC:US10Y for target). If unavailable (NA), uses fallback inputs (e.g., 0.25% for yen, 4.50% for target).
Converts rates to decimals: (target_rate - yen_rate) / 100.
Calculate Carry:Carry = (Target Rate - Yen Rate) / 100
Example: If US 10Y yield is 4.50% and Japan 10Y is 0.25%, carry = (4.50 - 0.25) / 100 = 0.0425 (4.25% annual yield).
Calculate Daily Log Returns:Log Returns = ln(Close / Close ), where Close is the current price of the pair (e.g., USDJPY) and Close is the previous day's price.
This measures daily percentage changes in a way suitable for volatility calculations.
Calculate Annualized Volatility:Volatility = Standard Deviation of Log Returns over a lookback period (default 63 days, ~3 months) × √252.
Example: If the standard deviation of USDJPY log returns is 0.005 (0.5% daily), annualized volatility = 0.005 × √252 ≈ 0.0794 (7.94%).
Compute the Ratio:Ratio = Carry / Volatility
Example: Using above, 0.0425 / 0.0794 ≈ 0.535.
If volatility is zero, the ratio is set to NA to avoid division errors.
Plot:Plots the ratio as a line, with optional thresholds (e.g., 0.2 for "high attractiveness") to guide interpretation.
NotesDynamic Rates: Using bond yields (e.g., TVC:JP10Y) or policy rates (e.g., ECONOMICS:JPINTR) makes the indicator responsive to historical and current rate changes, unlike static inputs.
Context: BIS reports use similar ratios to assess carry trade viability. For USDJPY in 2025, with Fed rates around 4.5% and BoJ at 0.25–0.5%, the carry is positive but sensitive to volatility spikes (e.g., during 2024 unwind events).
Usage: Apply to a yen pair chart (e.g., USDJPY, AUDJPY). Adjust symbols for the target currency (e.g., TVC:AU10Y for AUD). The ratio helps compare carry trade profitability across pairs or over time.
ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.
DynamoSent DynamoSent Pro+ — Professional Listing (Preview)
— Adaptive Macro Sentiment (v6)
— Export, Adaptive Lookback, Confidence, Boxes, Heatmap + Dynamic OB/OS
Preview / Experimental build. I’m actively refining this tool—your feedback is gold.
If you spot edge cases, want new presets, or have market-specific ideas, please comment or DM me on TradingView.
⸻
What it is
DynamoSent Pro+ is an adaptive, non-repainting macro sentiment engine that compresses VIX, DXY and a price-based activity proxy (e.g., SPX/sector ETF/your symbol) into a 0–100 sentiment line. It scales context by volatility (ATR%) and can self-calibrate with rolling quantile OB/OS. On top of that, it adds confidence scoring, a plain-English Context Coach, MTF agreement, exportable sentiment for other indicators, and a clean Light/Dark UI.
Why it’s different
• Adaptive lookback tracks regime changes: when volatility rises, we lengthen context; when it falls, we shorten—less whipsaw, more relevance.
• Dynamic OB/OS (quantiles) self-calibrates to each instrument’s distribution—no arbitrary 30/70 lines.
• MTF agreement + Confidence gate reduce false positives by highlighting alignment across timeframes.
• Exportable output: hidden plot “DynamoSent Export” can be selected as input.source in your other Pine scripts.
• Non-repainting rigor: all request.security() calls use lookahead_off + gaps_on; signals wait for bar close.
Key visuals
• Sentiment line (0–100), OB/OS zones (static or dynamic), optional TF1/TF2 overlays.
• Regime boxes (Overbought / Oversold / Neutral) that update live without repaint.
• Info Panel with confidence heat, regime, trend arrow, MTF readout, and Coach sentence.
• Session heat (Asia/EU/US) to match intraday behavior.
• Light/Dark theme switch in Inputs (auto-contrasted labels & headers).
⸻
How to use (examples & recipes)
1) EURUSD (swing / intraday blend)
• Preset: EURUSD 1H Swing
• Chart: 1H; TF1=1H, TF2=4H (default).
• Proxies: Defaults work (VIX=D, DXY=60, Proxy=D).
• Dynamic OB/OS: ON at 20/80; Confidence ≥ 55–60.
• Playbook:
• When sentiment crosses above 50 + margin with Δ ≥ signalK and MTF agreement ≥ 0.5, treat as trend breakout.
• In Oversold with rising Coach & TF agreement, take fade longs back toward mid-range.
• Alerts: Enable Breakout Long/Short and Fade; keep cooldown 8–12 bars.
2) SPY (daytrading)
• Preset: SPY 15m Daytrade; Chart: 15m.
• VIX (D) matters more; preset weights already favor it.
• Start with static 30/70; later try dynamic 25/75 for adaptive thresholds.
• Use Coach: in US session, when it says “Overbought + MTF agree → sell rallies / chase breakouts”, lean momentum-continuation after pullbacks.
3) BTCUSD (crypto, 24/7)
• Preset: BTCUSD 1H; Chart: 1H.
• DXY and BTC.D inform macro tone; keep Carry-forward ON to bridge sparse ticks.
• Prefer Dynamic OB/OS (15/85) for wider swings.
• Fade signals on weekend chop; Breakout when Confidence > 60 and MTF ≥ 1.0.
4) XAUUSD (gold, macro blend)
• Preset: XAUUSD 4H; Chart: 4H.
• Weights tilt to DXY and US10Y (handled by preset).
• Coach + MTF helps separate trend legs from news pops.
⸻
Best practices
• Theme: Switch Light/Dark in Inputs; the panel adapts contrast automatically.
• Export: In another script → Source → DynamoSent Pro+ → DynamoSent Export. Build your own filters/strategies atop the same sentiment.
• Dynamic vs Static OB/OS:
• Static 30/70: fast, universal baseline.
• Dynamic (quantiles): instrument-aware; use 20/80 (default) or 15/85 for choppy markets.
• Confidence gate: Start at 50–60% to filter noise; raise when you want only A-grade setups.
• Adaptive Lookback: Keep ON. For ultra-liquid indices, you can switch it OFF and set a fixed lookback.
⸻
Non-repainting & safety notes
• All request.security() calls use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off and gaps=barmerge.gaps_on.
• No forward references; signals & regime flips are confirmed on bar close.
• History-dependent funcs (ta.change, ta.percentile_linear_interpolation, etc.) are computed each bar (not conditionally).
• Adaptive lookback is clamped ≥ 1 to avoid lowest/highest errors.
• Missing-data warning triggers only when all proxies are NA for a streak; carry-forward can bridge small gaps without repaint.
⸻
Known limits & tips
• If a proxy symbol isn’t available on your plan/exchange, you’ll see the NA warning: choose a different symbol via Symbol Search, or keep Carry-forward ON (it defaults to neutral where needed).
• Intraday VIX is sparse—using Daily is intentional.
• Dynamic OB/OS needs enough history (see dynLenFloor). On short histories it gracefully falls back to static levels.

Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA TrendOriginal script can be found here: {Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis } www.tradingview.com
1. all credit the original author www.tradingview.com
2. why change this script:
- added full transparency function to each EMA
- changed to up and down arrows
- change the dashboard to be able to resize and reposition
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator, "Trinity Multi-Timeframe MA Trend," is designed for TradingView and helps visualize Exponential Moving Average (EMA) trends across multiple timeframes. It plots EMAs on your chart, fills areas between them with directional colors (up or down), shows crossover/crossunder labels, and displays a dashboard table summarizing EMA directions (bullish ↑ or bearish ↓) for selected timeframes. It's useful for multi-timeframe analysis in trading strategies, like confirming trends before entries.
Configure Settings (via the Gear Icon on the Indicator Title):
Timeframes Group: Set up to 5 custom timeframes (e.g., "5" for 5 minutes, "60" for 1 hour). These determine the multi-timeframe analysis in the dashboard. Defaults: 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 5h.
EMA Group: Adjust the lengths of the 5 EMAs (defaults: 5, 10, 20, 50, 200). These are the moving averages plotted on the chart.
Colors (Inline "c"): Choose uptrend color (default: lime/green) and downtrend color (default: purple). These apply to plots, fills, labels, and dashboard cells.
Transparencies Group: Set transparency levels (0-100) for each EMA's plot and fill (0 = opaque, 100 = fully transparent). Defaults decrease from EMA1 (80) to EMA5 (0) for a gradient effect.
Dashboard Settings Group (newly added):
Dashboard Position: Select where the table appears (Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left).
Dashboard Size: Choose text size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge) to scale the table for better visibility on crowded charts.
Understanding the Visuals:
EMA Plots: Five colored lines on the chart (EMA1 shortest, EMA5 longest). Color changes based on direction: uptrend (your selected up color) if rising, downtrend (down color) if falling.
Fills Between EMAs: Shaded areas between consecutive EMAs, colored and transparent based on the faster EMA's direction and your transparency settings.
Crossover Labels: Arrow labels (↑ for crossover/uptrend start, ↓ for crossunder/downtrend start) appear on the chart at EMA direction changes, with tooltips like "EMA1".
Dashboard Table (top-right by default):
Rows: EMA1 to EMA5 (with lengths shown).
Columns: Selected timeframes (converted to readable format, e.g., "5m", "1h").
Cells: ↑ (bullish/up) or ↓ (bearish/down) arrows, colored green/lime or purple based on trend, with fading transparency for visual hierarchy.
Use this to quickly check alignment across timeframes (e.g., all ↑ in multiple TFs might signal a strong uptrend).
Trading Tips:
Trend Confirmation: Look for alignment where most EMAs in higher timeframes are ↑ (bullish) or ↓ (bearish).
Entries/Exits: Use crossovers on the chart EMAs as signals, confirmed by the dashboard (e.g., enter long if lower TF EMA crosses up and higher TFs are aligned).
Customization: On lower timeframe charts, set dashboard timeframes to higher ones for top-down analysis. Adjust transparencies to avoid chart clutter.
Limitations: This is a trend-following tool; combine with volume, support/resistance, or other indicators. Backtest on historical data before live use.
Performance: Works best on trending markets; may whipsaw in sideways conditions.
Multi-Indicator Panel (RSI, Stoch, MACD, VIX Fix, MFI)A versatile single-pane oscillator panel combining RSI, Stochastic, MACD (scaled to 0–100), Williams VIX Fix (normalized & inverted: low value = high fear), and MFI. Each module is toggleable, with reference levels, background highlights, and ready-made alerts.
Key features
Per-indicator toggles: RSI, Stoch %K/%D, MACD (lines + optional histogram), inverted 0–100 VIX Fix, and MFI.
Standard levels & center line at 50; adjustable overbought/oversold thresholds.
Contextual background coloring (optional) for extreme conditions.
Built-in alerts: RSI/Stoch OB/OS, MACD–Signal cross, VIX Fix “High Fear/Low Fear,” and MFI OB/OS.
Unified scale: MACD mapped around 50 to align with other oscillators; VIX Fix normalized to 0–100.
How to use (quick)
Add the indicator → enable needed modules via “Indicator Toggles.”
Tune periods & levels (e.g., RSI 14, Stoch 14/3, MACD 12-26-9, VIX Fix 22/252, MFI 14).
(Optional) Turn on MACD histogram.
Create alerts from “Add alert on…” using the provided conditions.
Interpretation notes
Inverted VIX Fix: low values ⇒ high fear/volatility (potential bounces); high values ⇒ complacency.
Scaled MACD: lines around 50 ≈ MACD zero; line crosses remain valid despite scaling.
Disclaimer
Analysis tool, not financial advice. Test across timeframes/instruments and pair with risk management.
Flux Power Dashboard (Updated and Renamed)Flux Power Dashboard is a compact market-state heads-up display for TradingView. It blends trend, momentum, and volume-flow into a single on-chart panel with color-coded cues and minimal lag. You get:
Clean visual trend via fast/slow MA with slope/debounce filters
MACD state and most recent cross (with “freshness” tint)
OBV confirmation and gating to reduce noise
Session awareness (Asia/London/New York + pre-sessions + overlap)
Optional HTF Regime row and regime gate to align signals to higher-timeframe bias
Context from VIX/VXN (volatility regime)
A single Flux Score (0–100) as a top-level read
It is deliberately “dashboard-first”: fast to read, consistent between symbols/timeframes, and designed to limit overtrading in chop.
What it can do (capabilities)
Signal gating: You can require multiple pillars to agree (Trend, MACD, OBV) before a “strong” bias is shown.
Debounced trend: Uses slope + confirmation bars to avoid flip-flopping.
Session presets: Auto-adjust the minimum confirmation bars by session (e.g., NY vs London vs Asia) to better match liquidity/volatility.
MACD presets: Quick switch between Scalp / Classic / Slow or roll your own custom speeds.
OBV confirmation: Volume flow must agree for trend/entries to “count” (optional).
HTF Regime awareness: Shows the higher-timeframe backdrop and (optionally) gates signals so you don’t fight the dominant trend.
Volatility context: VIX/VXN auto-colored cells based on your thresholds.
Top-center Session Title: Broadcasts the active session (or Overlap) with a matched background color.
Customizable UI: Column fonts, params font, transparency, dashboard corner, marker styles, colors, widths—tune it to your chart.
Practical use: Start with Flux Score + Summary for a snapshot, confirm with Trend & MACD, check OBV agreement (implicit in signal strength), glance at Regime to avoid counter-trend trades, and use Session + VIX/VXN for timing and risk context.
How it avoids common pitfalls
Repaint-aware: “Confirm on Close” can be enabled to read prior bar states, reducing intrabar noise.
Auto MA sanity: If fast ≥ slow length, it auto-swaps under the hood to keep calculations valid.
Debounce & confirm: Trend flips only after X bars satisfy conditions, cutting false flips in chop.
Freshness tint: New Cross/Signal rows tint slightly brighter for a few bars, so you can spot recency at a glance.
Every line of the dashboard (what it shows, how it’s colored)
Flux Score
What: Composite 0–100 built from three pillars: Trend (40%), MACD (30%), OBV (30%).
Read: ≥70 Bullish, ≤30 Bearish, else Neutral.
Use: Quick “state of play” gauge—stronger alignment pushes the score toward extremes.
Regime (optional row)
What: Higher-timeframe (your Regime TF) backdrop using the same MA pair with HTF slope/ATR buffer.
Values: Bull / Bear / Range.
Gate (optional): If Regime Gate is ON, Trend/Signals only go directional when HTF agrees.
Summary
What: One-line narrative combining the three pillars: MACD (up/down/flat), OBV (up/down/flat), Trend (up/down/flat).
Use: Human-readable cross-check; should rhyme with Flux Score.
Trend
What: Debounced MA relationship on the current chart.
Strict: needs fast > slow and slow rising (mirror for down) + slope debounce + confirmation bars.
Lenient: allows fast > slow or slow rising (mirror for down) with the same debounce/confirm.
Color: Green = UP, Red = DOWN, Gray = FLAT.
Use: Your structural bias on the trading timeframe.
MACD
What: Current MACD line vs signal, using your selected preset (or custom).
Values: Bull (line above), Bear (below), Flat (equal/indeterminate).
Color: Green/Red/Gray.
Cross
What: Most recent MACD cross and how many bars ago it occurred (e.g., “MACD XUP | 3 bars”).
Freshness: If the cross happened within Fresh Signal Tint bars, the cell brightens slightly.
Use: Timing helper for inflection points.
Signal
What: Latest directional shift (from short-bias to long-bias or vice versa) and age in bars.
Strength:
Strong = Trend + MACD + OBV all align
Weak = partial alignment (e.g., Trend + MACD, or Trend + OBV)
Color: Green for long bias, Red for short bias; fresh signals tint brighter.
Use: Action cue—treat Strong as higher quality; Weak as situational.
MA
What: Your slow MA type and length, plus slope direction (“up”/“down”).
Use: Context even when Trend is FLAT; slope often turns before full trend flips.
Session
What: Current market session by Eastern Time: New York / London / Asia, Pre- windows, Overlap, or Off-hours.
Logic: If ≥2 main sessions are active, shows Overlap (and grays the top title background).
Use: Timing and expectations for liquidity/volatility; also drives session-based confirmation presets if enabled.
VIX
What: Real-time CBOE:VIX on your chosen TF.
Auto-color (if on):
Calm (< Calm) → Green
Watch (< Watch) → Yellow
Elevated (< Elevated) → Orange
Very High (≥ Elevated) → Red
Use: Equity market–wide risk mood; higher = bigger moves, lower = quieter.
VXN
What: CBOE:VXN (Nasdaq volatility index) on your chosen TF.
Auto-color thresholds like VIX.
Use: Tech-heavy risk mood; helpful for growth/QQQ/NDX names.
Footer (params row, bottom-right)
What: Key live settings so you always know the context:
P= Trend Confirmation Bars
O= OBV Confirmation Bars
Strict/Lenient (trend mode)
MACD preset (or “Custom”)
swap if MA lengths were auto-swapped for validity
Regime gate if enabled
Candles for clarity
Use: Quick integrity check when comparing charts/screenshots or changing presets.
Recommended workflow
Start at Flux Score & Summary → snapshot of alignment.
Check Trend (color) and MACD (Bull/Bear).
Look at Signal (Strong vs Weak, and age).
Glance at Regime (and use gate if you’re trend-following).
Use Session + VIX/VXN to adjust expectations (breakout vs mean-revert, risk sizing, patience).
Keep Confirm on Close ON when you want stability; turn it OFF for faster (but noisier) reads.
Notes & limitations
Not advice: This is an informational tool; always combine with your own risk rules.
Repaint vs responsiveness: With “Confirm on Close” OFF you’ll see faster state changes but may get more churn intrabar.
Presets matter: Scalp MACD reacts fastest; Slow reduces whipsaw. Choose for your timeframe.
Session windows depend on the strings you set; adjust if your broker’s feed or DST handling needs tweaks.

A comprehensive trading strategy based on the Vegas Dual Channel indicator, supporting dynamic position sizing and fund management. The strategy employs a multi-signal fusion mechanism including classic price crossover signals, breakout signals, and retest signals, combined with trend filtering, RSI+MACD filtering, and volume filtering to ensure signal reliability.
Core Features
Dynamic Position Sizing: Continue adding positions on same-direction signals, close all positions on opposite signals
Smart Take Profit/Stop Loss: ATR-based dynamic TP/SL, updated with each new signal
Fund Management: Supports dynamic total amount management for compound growth
Time Filtering: Configurable trading time ranges
Risk Control: Maximum order limit to prevent over-leveraging
Leverage Usage Instructions
Important: This strategy does not use TradingView's margin functionality
Setup Method
Total Amount = Actual Funds × Leverage Multiplier
Example: Have 100U actual funds, want to use 10x leverage → Set total amount to 100 × 10 = 1000U
Trading Amount Calculation
Each trade percentage is calculated based on leveraged amount
Example: Set 10% → Actually trade 100U margin × 10x leverage = 1000U trading amount
Maximum Orders Configuration
Must be used in conjunction with leveraged amount
Example: 1000U total amount, 10% per trade, maximum 10 orders = maximum use of 1000U
Note: Do not exceed 100% of total amount to avoid over-leveraging
Parameter Configuration Recommendations
Leverage Configuration Examples
Actual funds 100U, 5x leverage, total amount setting 500U, 10% per trade, 50U per trade, recommended maximum orders 10
Actual funds 100U, 10x leverage, total amount setting 1000U, 10% per trade, 100U per trade, recommended maximum orders 10
Actual funds 100U, 20x leverage, total amount setting 2000U, 5% per trade, 100U per trade, recommended maximum orders 20
Risk Control
Conservative: 5-10x leverage, 10% per trade, maximum 5-8 orders
Aggressive: 10-20x leverage, 5-10% per trade, maximum 10-15 orders
Extreme: 20x+ leverage, 2-5% per trade, maximum 20+ orders
Strategy Advantages
Signal Reliability: Multiple filtering mechanisms reduce false signals
Capital Efficiency: Dynamic fund management for compound growth

（VIX Spread-BTC Cycle Timing Strategy）A multi-asset cycle timing strategy that constructs a 0-100 oscillator using the absolute 10Y-2Y U.S. Treasury yield spread multiplied by the inverse of VIX squared. It integrates BTC’s deviation from its 100-day MA and 10Y Treasury’s MA position as dual filters, with clear entry rules: enter bond markets when the oscillator exceeds 80 (hiking cycles) and enter BTC when it drops below 20 (easing cycles).
Weis Wave Candle█Overview
The Weis Wave Candle indicator is a technical tool designed for the TradingView platform, enabling traders to analyze market dynamics by identifying price waves. The indicator relies solely on candlestick data, making it functional on markets where volume data is unavailable. It employs two trend detection methods, dynamic color gradients, trend change alerts, and clear visualization to assist in identifying trend strength and potential reversal points.
█Concept
The Weis Wave Candle indicator was developed to overcome limitations associated with the lack of volume data in certain markets, offering an alternative to traditional volume-based indicators like Weis Wave. Instead of volume, it measures candle size (body or body plus half the candle range) and accumulates it within a price wave. The indicator includes two trend calculation methods:
-LazyBear Style: Based on the popular Weis Wave adaptation by LazyBear, likely the most recognized version of this tool, it uses closing price comparisons and trend confirmation via trend functions. Results may differ from the original Weis Wave, as candle size does not always align with volume.
-Impulse Trend: A method that evaluates trend strength by summing price movements over a specified period, where each candle with a higher close than the previous adds +1, a lower close subtracts -1, and no change adds 0. The trend strength is determined by the sum: positive indicates an uptrend, negative a downtrend, and zero a continuation of the prior trend.
Results are visualized using dynamic color gradients, and alerts notify users of trend direction changes, facilitating quick decision-making.
█Why Use It?
-Volume-Free Operation: Ideal for markets without volume data.
-Flexibility: Two trend detection methods allow adaptation to various trading strategies.
-Dynamic Visualization: Color gradients and semi-transparent backgrounds simplify quick interpretation of trend strength.
-Alerts: Notifications for trend changes (from uptrend to downtrend and vice versa) support active trading.
-Customization: Options to adjust colors, analysis periods, and candle shadow inclusion.
█How It Works?
-Candle Size Calculation: Depending on the setting, candle size includes only the body (difference between close and open) or the body plus half the candle range (calculated as 0.5 * (high - low)) (setting Include candle shadows).
-Trend Detection:
LazyBear Style: Compares closing prices of adjacent candles to determine direction (uptrend, downtrend, or neutral) and confirms the trend using ta.rising or ta.falling functions over the specified period.
Impulse Trend: Sums price movements over the analysis period (+1 for a candle with a higher close than the previous, -1 for a lower close, 0 for no change). A positive sum indicates an uptrend, a negative sum a downtrend, and zero a continuation of the prior trend.
-Wave Accumulation: Candle sizes are accumulated within a single wave until the trend changes.
-Normalization and Gradients: Wave values are normalized to a 0-100 scale solely for color gradient purposes, enabling dynamic color changes from base to intense, reflecting wave strength relative to historical values. The height of columns (representing waves) is not normalized and corresponds to the accumulated candle size.
-Alerts: The indicator generates notifications when the wave direction changes (from uptrend to downtrend or vice versa), enabling quick responses to trend shifts.
-Visualization: Upward and downward waves are plotted as columns with dynamic colors, and the chart background changes color for better visibility.
█Settings and Customization
-Trend Detection Method: Choose between LazyBear Style (default) and Impulse Trend.
-Trend Analysis Period: Number of candles for trend analysis (default: 4).
-Include Candle Shadows: Determines whether to include half the candle range (high - low) in addition to the body (default: enabled).
-Lookback Period for Dynamic Thresholds: Number of candles to calculate the maximum and minimum wave values for color gradient normalization (default: 70).
-Gradient Minimum/Maximum Value: Threshold values defining the normalization range for color gradients (default: 0/100). A lower minimum value reduces the threshold for lighter colors, while a higher maximum value increases the threshold for more intense colors.
-Wave Colors: Options to select base and intense colors for upward and downward waves.
-Alerts: Enable alerts in TradingView settings (Upward Trend Change and Downward Trend Change) for trend change notifications.
█Usage Examples
-Trend Analysis: Upward waves (green columns) indicate buying pressure, while downward waves (red columns) indicate selling pressure. The more intense the color, the stronger the wave relative to historical values.
-Comparing Timeframes: Analyze trends across multiple timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) for broader context. For example, enter a position on the 4H timeframe after confirming trend alignment on 1H, 4H, and 1D, along with validation from a key level, such as a Fibonacci level or a Break of Structure (BOS).
-Using Alerts: Configure alerts in TradingView to receive notifications of trend changes, useful for active trading.
█Notes for Users
-Experiment with the Trend Analysis Period and Include Candle Shadows settings to tailor the indicator to your market and timeframe.
-Combine the indicator with other tools, such as support/resistance levels or RSI, to enhance signal accuracy.
-The Impulse Trend method may be more sensitive to short-term price changes, while LazyBear Style performs better in clear trends. Results from LazyBear Style may differ from the original Weis Wave, as candle size does not always align with volume.
