Adaptive Market Regime Identifier [LuciTech]What it Does:
AMRI visually identifies and categorizes the market into six primary regimes directly on your chart using a color-coded background. These regimes are:
-Strong Bull Trend: Characterized by robust upward momentum and low volatility.
-Weak Bull Trend: Indicates upward momentum with less conviction or higher volatility.
-Strong Bear Trend: Defined by powerful downward momentum and low volatility.
-Weak Bear Trend: Suggests downward momentum with less force or increased volatility.
-Consolidation: Periods of low volatility and sideways price action.
-Volatile Chop: High volatility without clear directional bias, often seen during transitions or indecision.
By clearly delineating these states, AMRI helps traders quickly grasp the overarching market context, enabling them to apply strategies best suited for the current conditions (e.g., trend-following in strong trends, range-bound strategies in consolidation, or caution in volatile chop).
How it Works (The Adaptive Edge)
AMRI achieves its adaptive classification by continuously analyzing three core market dimensions, with each component dynamically adjusting to current market conditions:
1.Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA): The indicator utilizes the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) to gauge trend direction and strength. KAMA is unique because it adjusts its smoothing period based on market efficiency (noise vs. direction). In trending markets, it becomes more responsive, while in choppy markets, it smooths out noise, providing a more reliable trend signal than static moving averages.
2.Adaptive Average True Range (ATR): Volatility is measured using an adaptive version of the Average True Range. Similar to KAMA, this ATR dynamically adjusts its sensitivity to reflect real-time changes in market volatility. This helps AMRI differentiate between calm, ranging markets and highly volatile, directional moves or chaotic periods.
3.Normalized Slope Analysis: The slope of the KAMA is normalized against the Adaptive ATR. This normalization provides a robust measure of trend strength that is relative to the current market volatility, making the thresholds for strong and weak trends more meaningful across different instruments and timeframes.
These adaptive components work in concert to provide a nuanced and responsive classification of the market regime, minimizing lag and reducing false signals often associated with fixed-parameter indicators.
Key Features & Originality:
-Dynamic Regime Classification: AMRI stands out by not just indicating trend or range, but by classifying the type of market regime, offering a higher-level analytical framework. This is a meta-indicator that provides context for all other trading tools.
-Adaptive Core Metrics: The use of KAMA and an Adaptive ATR ensures that the indicator remains relevant and responsive across diverse market conditions, automatically adjusting to changes in volatility and trend efficiency. This self-adjusting nature is a significant advantage over indicators with static lookback periods.
-Visual Clarity: The color-coded background provides an immediate, at-a-glance understanding of the current market regime, reducing cognitive load and allowing for quicker decision-making.
-Contextual Trading: By identifying the prevailing regime, AMRI empowers traders to select and apply strategies that are most effective for that specific environment, helping to avoid costly mistakes of using a trend-following strategy in a ranging market, or vice-versa.
-Originality: While components like KAMA and ATR are known, their adaptive integration into a comprehensive, multi-regime classification system, combined with normalized slope analysis for trend strength, offers a novel approach to market analysis not commonly found in publicly available indicators.

Stiffness IndexStiffness Index Indicator
Overview
The Stiffness Index is a technical analysis indicator created by Markos Katsanos and first introduced in the November 2018 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. This indicator attempts to recognize strong price trends by counting the number of times price was above the 100-day moving average during the indicator period.
Core Philosophy
The premise is the fewer number of times price penetrates the MA, the stronger the trend. The philosophy behind this indicator is that traders should trade when the trend is at its strongest point - when the trend is at its "stiffest". Based on the observation that in strong long-lasting uptrends, price seldom penetrates the 100-bar simple moving average, this indicator helps assess the quality and strength of an uptrend.
How It Works
The Stiffness Index operates through several key components:
1. Moving Average Baseline: Uses a 100-period moving average as the primary reference level
2. Volatility Threshold: Includes a volatility threshold to eliminate minor movements - typically 0.2 standard deviations to reject minimal penetrations above the moving average
3. Counting Mechanism: Calculates the stiffness coefficient as the ratio of the number of times the price has closed above the moving average during the indicator period to the length of that period
4. Smoothing: Applies additional smoothing to the final result for cleaner signals
Key Components
Input Parameters
- Period 1 (100): The moving average period for the baseline calculation
- MA Method 1: Type of moving average for the baseline (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA)
- Summation Period (60): The lookback period for counting closes above the moving average
- Period 2 (3): Smoothing period for the final signal line
- MA Method 2: Smoothing method for the signal line
- Threshold Level (80): Reference level for identifying strong trends
Visual Elements
- Blue Signal Line: The main stiffness reading showing trend strength
- Dotted Line: Adjustable threshold level for reference
Interpretation and Trading Applications
Signal Readings
- High Values (Above Threshold): Indicates a "stiff" trend where price consistently stays above the moving average with minimal penetrations
- Low Values (Below Threshold): Suggests a weaker trend with frequent penetrations of the moving average
- Original threshold levels mentioned in research range from 75-95
Trading Strategy
The original strategy suggests entering long positions when the stiffness reading reaches 90 or higher, with exits when the reading drops below 50. Some implementations use a threshold of 75 for entry confirmation.
Key Characteristics
- Designed primarily for stocks and instruments with upward bias
- Trades infrequently - typically about once per year when using strict parameters
- Best suited for trend-following strategies in strongly trending markets
Advantages
- Trend Quality Assessment: Quantifies the "stiffness" or quality of trends
- Volatility Filtering: Built-in volatility threshold reduces false signals from minor price movements
- Objective Measurement: Provides a numerical assessment of trend strength
- Customizable: Multiple parameters allow adaptation to different markets and timeframes
Best Practices
- Use in conjunction with baseline trend indicators for confirmation
- Most effective in markets with strong directional bias
- Consider the low frequency of signals when developing trading strategies
- May not be suitable for instruments that "twitch up and down" frequently
*Note: This indicator is specifically designed to identify and trade the strongest trending periods, which naturally results in fewer but potentially higher-quality trading opportunities.*
Options Max Pain Calculator [BackQuant]Options Max Pain Calculator
A visualization tool that models option expiry dynamics by calculating "max pain" levels, displaying synthetic open interest curves, gamma exposure profiles, and pin-risk zones to help identify where market makers have the least payout exposure.
What is Max Pain?
Max Pain is the theoretical expiration price where the total dollar value of outstanding options would be minimized. At this price level, option holders collectively experience maximum losses while option writers (typically market makers) have minimal payout obligations. This creates a natural gravitational pull as expiration approaches.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Max Pain Line: Horizontal line showing the calculated minimum pain level
Strike Level Grid: Major support and resistance levels at key option strikes
Pin Zone: Highlighted area around max pain where price may gravitate
Pain Heatmap: Color-coded visualization showing pain distribution across prices
Gamma Exposure Profile: Bar chart displaying net gamma at each strike level
Real-time Dashboard: Summary statistics and risk metrics
Synthetic Market Modeling**
Since Pine Script cannot access live options data, the indicator creates realistic synthetic open interest distributions based on configurable market parameters including volume patterns, put/call ratios, and market maker positioning.
How It Works
Strike Generation:
The tool creates a grid of option strikes centered around the current price. You can control the range, density, and whether strikes snap to realistic market increments.
Open Interest Modeling:
Using your inputs for average volume, put/call ratios, and market maker behavior, the indicator generates synthetic open interest that mirrors real market dynamics:
Higher volume at-the-money with decay as strikes move further out
Adjustable put/call bias to reflect current market sentiment
Market maker inventory effects and typical short-gamma positioning
Weekly options boost for near-term expirations
Pain Calculation:
For each potential expiry price, the tool calculates total option payouts:
Call options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
Put options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
The strike with minimum total pain becomes the Max Pain level
Gamma Analysis:
Net gamma exposure is calculated at each strike using standard option pricing models, showing where hedging flows may be most intense. Positive gamma creates price support while negative gamma can amplify moves.
Key Settings
Basic Configuration:
Number of Strikes: Controls grid density (recommended: 15-25)
Days to Expiration: Time until option expiry
Strike Range: Price range around current level (recommended: 8-15%)
Strike Increment: Spacing between strikes
Market Parameters:
Average Daily Volume: Baseline for synthetic open interest
Put/Call Volume Ratio: Market sentiment bias (>1.0 = bearish, <1.0 = bullish) It does not work if set to 1.0
Implied Volatility: Current option volatility estimate
Market Maker Factors: Dealer positioning and hedging intensity
Display Options:
Model Complexity: Simple (line only), Standard (+ zones), Advanced (+ heatmap/gamma)
Visual Elements: Toggle individual components on/off
Theme: Dark/Light mode
Update Frequency: Real-time or daily calculation
Reading the Display
Dashboard Table (Top Right):
Current Price vs Max Pain Level
Distance to Pain: Percentage gap (smaller = higher pin risk)
Pin Risk Assessment: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on proximity and time
Days to Expiry and Strike Count
Model complexity level
Visual Elements:
Red Line: Max Pain level where payout is minimized
Colored Zone: Pin risk area around max pain
Dotted Lines: Major strike levels (green = support, orange = resistance)
Color Bar: Pain heatmap (blue = high pain, red = low pain/max pain zones)
Horizontal Bars: Gamma exposure (green = positive, red = negative)
Yellow Dotted Line: Gamma flip level where hedging behavior changes
Trading Applications
Expiration Pinning:
When price is near max pain with limited time remaining, there's increased probability of gravitating toward that level as market makers hedge their positions.
Support and Resistance:
High open interest strikes often act as magnets, with max pain representing the strongest gravitational pull.
Volatility Expectations:
Above gamma flip: Expect dampened volatility (long gamma environment)
Below gamma flip: Expect amplified moves (short gamma environment)
Risk Assessment:
The pin risk indicator helps gauge likelihood of price manipulation near expiry, with HIGH risk suggesting potential range-bound action.
Best Practices
Setup Recommendations
Start with Model Complexity set to "Standard"
Use realistic strike ranges (8-12% for most assets)
Set put/call ratio based on current market sentiment
Adjust implied volatility to match current levels
Interpretation Guidelines:
Small distance to pain + short time = high pin probability
Large gamma bars indicate key hedging levels to monitor
Heatmap intensity shows strength of pain concentration
Multiple nearby strikes can create wider pin zones
Update Strategy:
Use "Daily" updates for cleaner visuals during trading hours
Switch to "Every Bar" for real-time analysis near expiration
Monitor changes in max pain level as new options activity emerges
Important Disclaimers
This is a modeling tool using synthetic data, not live market information. While the calculations are mathematically sound and the modeling realistic, actual market dynamics involve numerous factors not captured in any single indicator.
Max pain represents theoretical minimum payout levels and suggests where natural market forces may create gravitational pull, but it does not guarantee price movement or predict exact expiration levels. Market gaps, news events, and changing volatility can override these dynamics.
Use this tool as additional context for your analysis, not as a standalone trading signal. The synthetic nature of the data makes it most valuable for understanding market structure and potential zones of interest rather than precise price prediction.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses established option pricing principles with simplified implementations optimized for Pine Script performance. Gamma calculations use standard financial models while pain calculations follow the industry-standard definition of minimized option payouts.
All visual elements use fixed positioning to prevent movement when scrolling charts, and the tool includes performance optimizations to handle real-time calculation without timeout errors.
StdDev Supertrend {CHIPA}StdDev Supertrend ~ C H I P A is a supertrend style trend engine that replaces ATR with standard deviation as the volatility core. It can operate on raw prices or log return volatility, with optional smoothing to control noise.
Key features include:
Supertrend trailing rails built from a stddev scaled envelope that flips the regime only when price closes through the opposite rail.
Returns-based mode that scales volatility by log returns for more consistent behavior across price regimes.
Optional smoothing on the volatility input to tune responsiveness versus stability.
Directional gap fill between price and the active trend line on the main chart; opacity adapts to the distance (vs ATR) so wide gaps read stronger and small gaps stay subtle.
Secondary pane view of the rails with the same adaptive fade, plus an optional candle overlay for context.
Clean alerts that fire once when state changes
Use cases: medium-term trend following, stop/flip systems, and visual regime confirmation when you prefer stddev-based distance over ATR.
Note: no walk-forward or robustness testing is implied; parameter choices and risk controls are on you.

Irrationality Index by CRYPTO_ADA_BTC"The market can be irrational longer than you can stay solvent" ~ John Maynard Keynes
This indicator, the Irrationality Index, measures how far the current market price has deviated from a smoothed estimate of its "fair value," normalized for recent volatility. It provides traders with a visual sense of when the market may be behaving irrationally, without giving direct buy or sell signals.
How it works:
1. Fair Value Calculation
The indicator estimates a "fair value" for the asset using a combination of a long-term EMA (exponential moving average) and a linear regression trend over a configurable period. This fair value serves as a smoothed baseline for price, balancing trend-following and mean-reversion.
2. Volatility-Adjusted Z-Score
The deviation between price and fair value is measured in standard deviations of recent log returns:
Z = (log(price) - log(fairValue)) / volatility
This standardization accounts for different volatility environments, allowing comparison across assets.
3. Irrationality Score (0–100)
The Z-score is transformed using a logistic mapping into a 0–100 scale:
- 50 → price near fair value (rational zone)
- >75 → high irrationality, price stretched above fair value
- >90 → extreme irrationality, unsustainable extremes
- <25 → high irrationality, price stretched below fair value
- <10 → extreme bearish irrationality
4. Price vs Fair Value (% deviation)
The indicator plots the percentage difference between price and fair value:
pctDiff = (price - fairValue) / fairValue * 100
- Positive values → Percentage above fair value (optimistic / overvalued)
- Negative values → Percentage below fair value (pessimistic / undervalued)
Visuals:
- Irrationality (%) Line (0–100) shows irrationality level.
- Background Colors: Yellow= high bullish irrationality, Green= extreme bullish irrationality, Orange= high bearish irrationality, Red= extreme bearish irrationality.
- Price - FairValue (%) plot: price deviation vs fair value (%), Colored green above 0 and red below 0.
- Label: display actual price, estimated fair value, and Z-score for the latest bar.
- Alerts: configurable thresholds for high and extreme irrationality.
How to read it:
- 50 → Market trading near fair value.
- >75 / >90 → Price may be irrationally high; risk of pullback increases.
- <25 / <10 → Price may be irrationally low; potential rebound zones, but trends can continue.
- Price - FairValue (%) plot → visual guide for % price stretch relative to fair value.
Notes / Warnings:
- Measures relative deviation, not fundamental value!
- High irrationality scores do not automatically indicate trades; markets can remain can be irrational longer than you can stay solvent .
- Best used with other tools: momentum, volume, divergence, and multi-timeframe analysis.
NY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMAThis NY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMA script is a powerful combination of two of the most popular technical indicators, designed to help you identify the intraday trend and potential shifts in market momentum. It stands out by automatically adjusting to current volatility, providing more adaptive and reliable signals than standard moving averages.
How It Works
This script combines a New York session-anchored VWAP with a dynamic Simple Moving Average (SMA) that automatically adjusts its length based on market volatility.
New York Anchored VWAP: The VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) resets at the beginning of the New York trading session. This allows it to accurately track the average price paid by traders for the day, providing a key benchmark for identifying whether the price is trading at a premium or a discount relative to the volume-driven trend. The color of the VWAP line itself changes to indicate its slope: green for an upward trend and red for a downward trend.
Auto SMA: The script calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) but with a twist. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. When volatility is high, the SMA's lookback period automatically shortens to make it more responsive to price changes. Conversely, when volatility is low, the lookback period lengthens to smooth out the data and reduce noise. This dynamic adjustment helps the SMA stay relevant in all market conditions.
Key Features
Adaptive Lookback: The Auto SMA dynamically adjusts to market volatility, providing more responsive signals during volatile periods and smoother, more reliable signals during calm periods.
Color-Coded VWAP: The VWAP line changes color to instantly show the direction of the trend, making it easy to see at a glance if the average price is rising or falling.
Automated Alerts: The script provides automated alerts for when the VWAP crosses above or below the Auto SMA, signaling potential bullish or bearish momentum shifts.
Customizable Settings: You can hide the VWAP on daily or higher timeframes and change the source for the VWAP calculation to suit your specific trading style.
This tool is perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more intelligent and adaptive way to measure trend direction and identify potential trading opportunities.

Andean Oscillator (Version 3.0 Sr.K)Andean Oscillator (Version 3.0 Sr.K)
This indicator is a momentum-based oscillator that measures the balance between bullish and bearish pressure.
🔧 How it works:
It calculates two adaptive envelopes around price and derives a "bullish" and "bearish" component.
The oscillator value is simply Bull - Bear, showing which side dominates.
A signal line (EMA of the oscillator) smooths the raw value.
Optionally, ±1σ levels are plotted to highlight statistically strong moves.
📊 What you see:
Histogram: Positive bars = bullish momentum, negative bars = bearish.
Orange Line: Signal line (EMA) used to confirm or anticipate reversals.
Zero Line: The equilibrium point. Crosses of this level signal a shift in market bias.
Green / Red Triangles: Buy and sell signals, either when crossing zero or crossing the signal line (depending on selected mode).
⚡ Early Signal Mode:
When enabled, signals trigger earlier — at the crossover between the oscillator and its signal line — allowing traders to enter potential reversals before a full zero-cross confirmation.
✅ Use cases:
Identify momentum shifts before price reversals.
Spot potential long/short setups with reduced lag.
Combine with price action or support/resistance for confirmation.
⚠️ Note: This is a tool for discretionary/manual trading. It does not open or close trades automatically. Always confirm with your own analysis and risk management.

Pairs Trading Scanner [BackQuant]Pairs Trading Scanner
What it is
This scanner analyzes the relationship between your chart symbol and a chosen pair symbol in real time. It builds a normalized “spread” between them, tracks how tightly they move together (correlation), converts the spread into a Z-Score (how far from typical it is), and then prints clear LONG / SHORT / EXIT prompts plus an at-a-glance dashboard with the numbers that matter.
Why pairs at all?
Markets co-move. When two assets are statistically related, their relationship (the spread) tends to oscillate around a mean.
Pairs trading doesn’t require calling overall market direction you trade the relative mispricing between two instruments.
This scanner gives you a robust, visual way to find those dislocations, size their significance, and structure the trade.
How it works (plain English)
Step 1 Pick a partner: Select the Pair Symbol to compare against your chart symbol. The tool fetches synchronized prices for both.
Step 2 Build a spread: Choose a Spread Method that defines “relative value” (e.g., Log Spread, Price Ratio, Return Difference, Price Difference). Each lens highlights a different flavor of divergence.
Step 3 Validate relationship: A rolling Correlation checks if the pair is moving together enough to be tradable. If correlation is weak, the scanner stands down.
Step 4 Standardize & score: The spread is normalized (mean & variability over a lookback) to form a Z-Score . Large absolute Z means “stretched,” small means “near fair.”
Step 5 Signals: When the Z-Score crosses user-defined thresholds with sufficient correlation , entries print:
LONG = long chart symbol / short pair symbol,
SHORT = short chart symbol / long pair symbol,
EXIT = mean reversion into the exit zone or correlation failure.
Core concepts (the three pillars)
Spread Method Your definition of “distance” between the two series.
Guidance:
Log Spread: Focuses on proportional differences; robust when prices live on different scales.
Price Ratio: Classic relative value; good when you care about “X per Y.”
Return Difference: Emphasizes recent performance gaps; nimble for momentum-to-mean plays.
Price Difference: Straight subtraction; intuitive for similar-scale assets (e.g., two ETFs).
Correlation A rolling score of co-movement. The scanner requires it to be above your Min Correlation before acting, so you’re not trading random divergence.
Z-Score “How abnormal is today’s spread?” Positive = chart richer than pair; negative = cheaper. Thresholds define entries/exits with transparent, statistical context.
What you’ll see on the chart
Correlation plot (blue line) with a dashed Min Correlation guide. Above the line = green zone for signals; below = hands off.
Z-Score plot (white line) with colored, dashed Entry bands and dotted Exit bands. Zero line for mean.
Normalized spread (yellow) for a quick “shape read” of recent divergence swings.
Signal markers :
LONG (green label) when Z < –Entry and corr OK,
SHORT (red label) when Z > +Entry and corr OK,
EXIT (gray label) when Z returns inside the Exit band or correlation drops below the floor.

Spread Volatility How “lively” the spread has been.
Trade Signal A human-readable prompt (e.g., “LONG A / SHORT B” or “NO TRADE” / “LOW CORRELATION”).
Risk Level LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH based on current stretch (absolute Z).
Signals logic (plain English)
Entry (LONG): The spread is unusually negative (chart cheaper vs pair) and correlation is healthy. Expect mean reversion upward in the spread: long chart, short pair.
Entry (SHORT): The spread is unusually positive (chart richer vs pair) and correlation is healthy. Expect mean reversion downward in the spread: short chart, long pair.
Exit: The spread relaxes back toward normal (inside your exit band), or correlation deteriorates (relationship no longer trusted).
A quick, repeatable workflow
1) Choose your pair in context (same sector/theme or known macro link). Think: “Do these two plausibly co-move?”
2) Pick a spread lens that matches your narrative (ratio for relative value, returns for short-term performance gaps, etc.).
3) Confirm correlation is above your floor no corr, no trade.
4) Wait for a stretch (Z beyond Entry band) and a printed LONG / SHORT .
5) Manage to the mean (EXIT band) or correlation failure; let the scanners’ state/labels keep you honest.
Settings that matter (and why)
Spread Method Defines the “mispricing” you care about.
Correlation Period Longer = steadier regime read, shorter = snappier to regime change.
Z-Score Period The window that defines “normal” for the spread; it sets the yardstick.
Use Percentage Returns Normalizes series when using return-based logic; keep on for mixed-scale assets.
Entry / Exit Thresholds Set your stretch and your target reversion zone. Wider entries = rarer but stronger signals.
Minimum Correlation The gatekeeper. Raising it favors quality over quantity.
Choosing pairs (practical cheat sheet)
Same family: two index ETFs, two oil-linked names, two gold miners, two L1 tokens.
Hedge & proxy: stock vs. sector ETF, BTC vs. BTC index, WTI vs. energy ETF.
Cross-venue or cross-listing: instruments that are functionally the same exposure but price differently intraday.
Reading the cues like a pro
Divergence shape: The yellow normalized spread helps you see rhythm fast spike and snap-back versus slow grind.
Corr-first discipline: Don’t fight the “Min Correlation” line. Good pairs trading starts with a relationship you can trust.
Exit humility: When Z re-centers, let the EXIT do its job. The edge is the journey to the mean, not overstaying it.
Frequently asked (quick answers)
“Long/Short means what exactly?”
LONG = long the chart symbol and short the pair symbol.
SHORT = short the chart symbol and long the pair symbol.
“Do I need same price scales?” No. The spread methods normalize in different ways; choose the one that fits your use case (log/ratio are great for mixed scales).
“What if correlation falls mid-trade?” The scanner will neutralize the state and print EXIT . Relationship first; trade second.
Field notes & patterns
Snap-back days: After a one-sided session, return-difference spreads often flag cleaner intraday mean reversions.
Macro rotations: Ratio spreads shine during sector re-weights (e.g., value vs. growth ETFs); look for steady corr + elevated |Z|.
Event bleed-through: If one symbol reacts to news and its partner lags, Z often flags a high-quality, short-horizon re-centering.

Final notes
The scanner is designed to keep you systematic: require relationship (correlation), quantify dislocation (Z-Score), act when stretched, stand down when it normalizes or the relationship degrades. It’s a full, visual loop for relative-value trading that stays out of your way when it should and gets loud only when the numbers line up.

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.

FlowSpike ES — BB • RSI • VWAP + AVWAP + News MuteThis indicator is purpose-built for E-mini S&P 500 (ES) futures traders, combining volatility bands, momentum filters, and session-anchored levels into a streamlined tool for intraday execution.
Key Features:
• ES-Tuned Presets
Automatically optimized settings for scalping (1–2m), daytrading (5m), and swing trading (15–60m) timeframes.
• Bollinger Band & RSI Signals
Entry signals trigger only at statistically significant extremes, with RSI filters to reduce false moves.
• VWAP & Anchored VWAPs
Session VWAP plus anchored VWAPs (RTH open, weekly, monthly, and custom) provide high-confidence reference levels used by professional order-flow traders.
• Volatility Filter (ATR in ticks)
Ensures signals are only shown when the ES is moving enough to offer tradable edges.
• News-Time Mute
Suppresses signals around scheduled economic releases (customizable windows in ET), helping traders avoid whipsaw conditions.

Dynamic Stop Loss Optimizer [BackQuant]Dynamic Stop Loss Optimizer
Overview
Stop placement decides expectancy. This tool gives you three professional-grade, adaptive stop engines, ATR, Volatility, and Hybrid. So your exits scale with current conditions instead of guessing fixed ticks. It trails intelligently, redraws as the market evolves, and annotates the chart with clean labels/lines and a compact stats table. Pick the engine that fits the trade, or switch on the fly.
What it does
Calculates three adaptive stops in real time (ATR-based, Volatility-based, and Hybrid) and keeps them trailed as price makes progress.
Shows exactly where your risk lives with on-chart levels, color-coded markers (long/short), and precise “Risk %” labels at the current bar.
Surfaces context you actually use - current ATR, daily volatility, selected method, and the live stop level—in a tidy, movable table.
Fires alerts on stop hits so you can automate exits or journal outcomes without staring at the screen.
Why it matters
Adaptive risk control: Stops expand in fast tape and tighten in quiet tape. You’re not punished for volatility; you’re aligned with it.
Consistency across assets: The same playbook works whether you’re trading indexes, FX, crypto, or equities, because the engine normalizes to each symbol’s behavior.
Cleaner decision-making: One chart shows your entry idea and its invalidation in the same breath. If price trespasses, you know it instantly.
The three methods (choose your engine)
1) ATR Based “Structure-aware” distance
This classic approach keys off Average True Range to set a stop just beyond typical bar-to-bar excursion. It adapts smoothly to changing ranges and respects swing structure.
Use when: you want a steady, intuitive buffer that tracks trend legs without hugging price.
See it in action:
2) Volatility Based “Behavior-aware” distance
This engine derives stop distance from current return volatility (annualized, then scaled back down to the session). It reacts to regime shifts quickly and normalizes risk across symbols with very different prices.
Use when: you want the stop to breathe with realized volatility and respond faster to heat-ups/cool-downs.
See it in action:
3) Hybrid “Best of both worlds”
The Hybrid blends the ATR and Volatility distances into one consensus level, then trails it intelligently. You get the structural common sense of ATR and the regime sensitivity of Vol.
Use when: you want robust, all-weather behavior without micromanaging inputs.
See it in action:
How it trails
Longs: The stop ratchets up with favorable movement and holds its ground on shallow pullbacks. If price closes back into the risk zone, the level refreshes to the newest valid distance.
Shorts: Mirror logic ratchets down with trend, resists noise, and refreshes if price reclaims the zone.
Hybrid trailing: Uses the blended distance and the same “no give-backs” principle to keep gains protected as structure builds.
Reading the chart
Markers: Circles = ATR stops, Crosses = Vol stops, Diamonds = Hybrid. Colors indicate long (red level under price) vs short (green level above price).
Lines: The latest active stop is extended with a dashed line so you can see it at a glance.
Labels: “Long SL / Short SL” shows the exact price and current risk % from the last close no math required.
Table: ATR value, Daily Vol %, your chosen Method, the Current SL, and Risk %—all in one compact block that you can pin top-left/right/center.
Quick workflow
Define the idea: Long or Short, and which engine fits the tape (ATR, Vol, or Hybrid).
Place and trail: Let the optimizer print the level; trail automatically as the move develops.
Manage outcomes: If the line is tagged, you’re out clean. If it holds, you’ve contained heat while giving the trade room to work.
Inputs you’ll actually touch
Calculation Settings
ATR Length / Multiplier: Controls the “structural” cushion.
Volatility Length / Multiplier: Controls the “behavioral” cushion.
Trading Days: 252 or 365 to keep the volatility math aligned with the asset’s trading calendar.
Stop Loss Method
ATR Based | Volatility Based | Hybrid : Switch engines instantly to fit the trade.
Position Type
Long | Short | Both : Show only what you need for the current strategy.
Visual Settings
Show ATR / Vol / Hybrid Stops: Toggle families on/off.
Show Labels: Print price + Risk % at the live stop.
Table Position: Park the metrics where you like.
Coloring
Long/Short/Hybrid colors: Set a palette that matches your theme and stands out on your background.
Practical patterns to watch
Trend-pullback continuation: The stop ratchets behind higher lows (long) or lower highs (short). If price tests the level and rejects, that’s your risk-defined continuation cue.
Break-and-run: After a clean break, the Hybrid will usually sit slightly wider than pure Vol, use it to avoid getting shaken on the first retest.
Range compression: When the ATR and Vol distances converge, the table will show small Risk %. That’s your green light to size up with the same dollar risk, or keep it conservative if you expect expansion.
Alerts
Long Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses below the live long stop.
Short Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses above the live short stop.
Why this feels “set-and-serious”
You get a single look that answers three questions in real time: “Where’s my line in the sand?”, “How much heat am I taking right now?”, and “Is this distance appropriate for current conditions?” With ATR, Vol, and Hybrid in one tool, you can run the exact same playbook across symbols and regimes while keeping your chart clean and your risk explicit.
