Real Cummulative Delta (New TV Function)Thanks to the new TradingView indicator Up/Down Volume, it is now possible to get accurate information on Agression (market buying vs market selling)
However, as they only provide the value of delta, I've made this indicator to show the cummulative value, in the form of candles.
It is great to detect divergences in the macro and in the micro scale (As in divergences in each candle and divergences in higher or lower tops or bottoms)
Hope you can make good use of it!

Volume percentrank[TV1]Volume percentrank
Volume normalized by percentile.
The indicator calculates the percentile of the trading volume . The volume in the base asset or quote asset can be selected as data. To calculate the volume of a quoted asset, the closing price or another standard method for calculating the price of a bar can be used.
A feature of percentile calculation with a small data sample length is low accuracy. Despite the fact that the script allows you to calculate a percentile with a length of 1, using a percentile length less than 100 is not recommended.
The percentile calculation method does not allow correctly calculating the percentile at the beginning of the chart due to the lack of all data in the selection, therefore, when the date of the first bar changes (this happens on small timeframes if the TradingView subscription does not allow you to see all historical data), the indicator will be repainted up to the bar number equal to the percentile sample length.
Huge values of the percentile length may cause a script error. If the indicator doesn't work, just make the percentile length smaller.
Объем, нормализованный по процентилью.
Индикатор вычисляет процентиль объема торгов. В качестве данных может быть выбран объем в базовом(base) активе или котировочном(quote) активе. Для расчета объема в котировочном активе может использоваться цена закрытия либо другой стандартный метод расчета цены бара.
Особенностью расчета процентиля при малой длине выборки данных является малая точность. Не смотря на то, что скрипт позволяет вычиcлить процентиль с длинной 1, использовать длину процентиля меньше 100 не рекомендуется.
Метод расчета процентиля не позволяет корректно рассчитать процентиль в начале графика из-за отсутствия всех данных в выборке, поэтому при изменении даты первого бара (это происходит на малых таймфреймах, если подписка TradingView не позволяет видеть все исторические данные) индикатор подвержен перерисовке вплоть до номера бара равного длине выборки процентиля.
Большие значения длины процентиля могут приводить к ошибке скрипта. Если индикатор не работает, просто сделайте длину процентиля меньше.
VWAP & Previous VWAP - MTF█ Volume Weighted Average Price & Previous Volume Weighted Average Price - Multi Timeframe
This script can display the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and rolling VWAP but also the previous ones.
█ Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
The VWAP is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume.
VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices.
VWAP is similar to a moving average in that when price is above VWAP, prices are rising and when price is below VWAP, prices are falling.
VWAP is primarily used by technical analysts to identify market trends.
█ Rolling VWAP
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day.
Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe.
You can thus use the rolling VWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because the rolling VWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset.
For the version with standard deviation bands.
MTF VWAP & StDev Bands
Adaptive VWAP Stdev BandsIntroduction
Heyo, here are some adaptive VWAP Standard Deviation Bands with nice colors.
I used Ehlers dominant cycle theories and ZLSMA smoothing to create this indicator.
You can choose between different algorithms to determine the dominant cycle and this will be used as reset period.
Everytime bar_index can be divided through the dominant cycle length and the result is zero VWAP resets if have chosen an adaptive mode in the settings.
The other reset event you can use is just a simple time-based event, e.g. reset every day.
Usage
I think people buy/sell when it reaches extreme zones.
Enjoy!

Stock Market Emotion Index (SMEI)Implementation of Charlie Q. Yang's research paper “The stock market emotion index”, subtitle “A New Sentiment Measure Using Enhanced OBV and Money Flow Indicators”, (2007) where he combined “five simple emotion statistics” - Close Emotion Statistic (CES), Money Flow Statistic (MFS), Supply Demand Statistic (SDS), Relative Strength Statistic (RSS), and Psychological Level Statistic (PLS) - into one indicator.
Quotations:
“The index calculation is solely based on observed short term market volatility as reflected by each day’s trading volume, open, high, low, and close prices”
“The basic premise of Dow theory is that the market discounts everything, including the emotions of all traders. The fundamentals of a company do not change suddenly when its daily stock price is fluctuating as driven by human emotions that are often irrational. However, over a longer time period, a company's fundamentals do change. Again, different types of human emotions, triggered by the flow of material events, are moving the stock price trend up or down. This paper summarizes the author’s attempt in understanding primary trend extent and duration by proposing a new sentiment measure using statistical analysis of stock market human emotion.”
Even though “indicator is intended for identifying primary trend cycles that typically last one year or longer“ where Mr. Yang used a fixed averaging length of 260 days and only days as time frame, my implementation has been changed slightly to accommodate for all time frames and to adapt faster using shorter averaging (timeframe dependent).
How to use it:
Positive values indicating a bullish trend and negative values indicating a bearish trend. Background color is set to green or red accordingly.
Positive and negative bar to bar changes are indicated with green and red to show bar to bar (ultra short term) trends.
(No financial advise, use for testing purposed only)
Volume Spike BackfillsThis script identifies candle that have a volume spike and tracks how much price action has retraced to back fill those candles.
Setting can control the degree of volume spike and the median level of the candle body.
Volume DeltaThis script is meant to only show you the most significant volume moves. The way it works is it takes the cumulative sum of the delta of the volume. You can go from current all the way to ten bars back in your delta window.
Review on what volume is: The Volume indicator measures how much of a given financial asset has traded in a specific period of time. Volume is measured by shares traded for stocks, whereas for futures, it is based on the number of contracts.
Volume FlagThis indicator shows the increased volume compared to the previous volume.
A flag is displayed when the trading volume increased by *n of the previous candle.

REVE MarkersREVE stands for ‘Range Extensions Volume Expansions’. It seeks to report the same as the REVE which I published before. However the code uses a different algorithm to find the ‘usual range’ or ‘usual volume’ to which the current range and volume is compared. In the old REVE a function is coded which mimics a median() function..
In this code the median() function provided in pinescript is used, which makes the code of the actual algorithm nice and short in lines 21 through 27
For example line 23: “morevol=ta.median(curvol , usual)*eventnorm” in which
‘morevol ‘ is the calculated level above which the volume is deemed considerable,
‘curvol’ is the current volume (see line 21); curvol the volume of the previous period.
‘usual’ is the lookback period (see line 8)
‘ta.median(curvol , usual)’ is therfore the median volume in the lookback period
‘eventnorm’ is the percent which sets when “normal” becomes “considerable” (see line 6)
In line 26 the same is done for range.
The code in lines 30 to 92, concern logic manipulations to arrive at choosing the appropriate marker, which are plotted in lines 95 through 136.
Using the shapes as provided by Pinescript offers the possibility to give a much better and more meaningful visualization of volume and range events than different colored columns and histograms in the ‘old’ REVE in the below panel (see example chart).
Using the Pinescript function to find the median opens the possibility of letting the user play in the inputs with the lookback period and the norms for considerable and excessive to find a setting he or she likes most.
Using median in stead of average is necessary in volume and range analysis because these are so volatile. E.g. range or volume can be 10 times larger in the next period! If you have a few excessive volumes or ranges in the lookback period the ‘average volume or range’ is much higher than the ‘usual volume or range’ In statistics this is referred to as the outlier problem.
The markers are located on the bottom of the instrument pane. Those indicating volume events (with ‘event’ I mean a considerable or excessive expansion or extension) are colored triangles or squares, triangles indicate direction, squares that the price stays the same. those indicating range events with ‘normal’ volume are crosses, plus-cross means considerable range event and x-cross is excessive event.
The red, fuchsia and maroon triangles and squares indicate a combination of volume and range events. I call this ‘effective volume’ because more trade leads to shifting prices. The green and blue triangles and squares indicate a volume event with ‘normal’ ranges. I call this ‘ineffective volume’ because more volume does not lead to price shits. Effective volume can be attributed to occasional traders, because these do not care much for the price effect of their orders. The ineffective volume is attributable to institutional traders, because these go to great length to hide the size of their selling or buying objective by trading many small amounts in a day. Therefore one can theorize that ‘smart money’ is active when green and blue markers show up.
There is an option in the inputs to show markers around the candles (or bars). Those above indicate volume events, plus-cross for considerable and x-cross for excessive volume.
Those below the candles (or bars) indicate range events, triangles for direction or a plus-cross when the price stays the same. The small ones indicate considerable range events and the big ones excessive range events. This option can be used for better understanding of the colors of the bottom markers or to check which marker applies to which candle or bar.
If the instrument is without volume, the indicator will show only range markers.
Have fun and take care.
Time & volume point of control / quantifytoolsWhat are TPOC & VPOC?
TPOC (time point of control) and VPOC (volume point of control) are points in price where highest amount of time/volume was traded. This is considered key information in a market profile, as it shows where market participant interest was highest. Unlike full fledged market profile that shows total time/volume distribution, this script shows the points of control for each candle, plotted with a line (time) and a dot (volume). The script hides your candles/bars by default and forms a line in the middle representing candle range. In case of candles, borders will still be visible. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
Volume and time data are fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining price for points of control, e.g. using close as source, the point of control is set to match the value of lower timeframe candle close. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a point of control based on OHLC average.
To identify more profound points of market participant interest, TPOC & VPOC as percentage of total time/volume thresholds can be set via input menu. When a point of control is equal to or greater than the set percentage threshold, visual elements will be highlighted in a different color, e.g. 50% VPOC threshold will activate a highlight whenever volume traded at VPOC is equal to or greater than 50% of total volume. All colors are customizable.
VPOC is defined by fetching lower timeframe candle with the most amount of volume traded and using its close (by default) as a mark for point of control. For TPOC, each candle is divided into 10 lots which are used for calculating amount of closes taking place within the bracket values. The lot with highest amount of closes will be considered a point of control. This mark is displayed in the middle point of a lot:
How to utilize TPOC & VPOC
Example #1: Trapped market participants
One or both points of control at one end of candle range (wick tail) and candle close at the other end serves as an indication of market participants trapped in an awkward position. When price runs away further from these trapped participants, they are eventually forced to cover and drive price even further to the opposite direction:
Example #2: Trend initiation
A large move that leaves TPOC behind while VPOC is supportive serves as an indication of a trend initiation. Essentially, this is one way to identify an event where price traded sideways most of the time and suddenly moved away with volume:
Example #3: POC supported trend
A trend is healthy when it's supported by a point of control. Ideally you want to see either time or volume supporting a trend:
Change of VolatilityOVERVIEW
The Change of Volatility indicator is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volatility currently present in the market. The purpose of this indicator is to filter out with-trend signals during ranging/non-trending/consolidating conditions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assists traders in capitalizing on the assumption that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volatility compared to periods of low volatility . This is because high volatility indicates that there are bigger players currently in the market, which is necessary to begin a sustained trending move.
So, to determine whether the current volatility in the market is low, the indicator will grey out all the areas on the chart whose short term standard deviation of volatility is lower than the long term standard deviation of volatility.
If the short term standard deviation of volatility is above the long term standard deviation of volatility, the current volatility in the market is considered high. This would the ideal time to enter a trending trade due to the assumption that trends are more likely to start during these high-volatility periods.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR
When the histogram is grey, don't take any trend trades since the current volatility is less than the usual volatility experienced in the market.
When the histogram is green, take all valid with-trend trades since the current volatility is greater than the usual volatility experienced in the market.

LazyScalp Volume in Currency AVGThis indicator displays the volume in the currency of the asset.
It also draws the average for a certain period and the average multiplied by the coefficient. If the volume is higher than the average multiplied by the coefficient, then the histogram bars and candlesticks on the chart are highlighted in color.
Also, the indicator sends alerts at such moments.
The indicator allows you to quickly see when the volume rises sharply. Often these are very interesting points for trading.
The indicator has many settings and display styles.
Sine Wave TheoryThere are some ideas out there that the market is like a collection of quantum events and that it could all be broken down into sine waves. I created this script to put that to the test.
The idea is simple, I tested 3 different factors that could be put into sine wave form.
1.) Bar Change
2.) Volume Average Change
3.) Coin Flip
For the bar change, I simply allow the sine wave to move upwards or downwards if the bars have changed color in their sequence. For example, if there were 3 red bars and 1 green bar, it would not move the sine wave up or down until the green bar appeared.
For the average volume change, it was the same idea, except that the sine wave could only move up or down if the volume had moved up or below the average value of the length given for calculating the average volume.
Finally, the coin flip simply simulates flipping a coin, and allows the sine wave to move one direction or the other once it has a side that is different from the previous chosen side. For example, heads, heads, heads, tails (once it flipped to tails, this would allow it to move a direction).
The sine wave trading theory that I watched claimed that if you know the correct sine wave # (which is how large the peak is, and/or the sine wave count which is how many peaks and valleys occur) that you can successfully predict future trades. Their claims that the reason it does not look like a perfect sine wave for these events is because there is different amounts of trading going on, thus the timing will be slightly off.
I am posting this to disagree with their ideas. For example, if you select to turn on trading for coin flip and turn off bar change, you will see the coin flip did better on the default settings!
It just so happens that any setting will eventually be good, making all the sine wave variations just completely random if you win or not.
I posted this to demonstrate how silly trading sine waves is. The real trick is using cosine and tangent waves... lol j/k
I hope this helps someone avoid this scam concept.
SOS/SOW ScoresThis indicator detects Signs of Strength (SOS) and Signs of Weakness (SOW) on individual candles. SOS/SOW are detected by measuring volume as a comparison to a moving average, price making a swing high or swing low, and candlesticks meeting certain criteria. All these different factors are weighted (importance) and added together to create a total score. Scores are then classified as either weak, moderate, or strong.

Improved Chaikin Money FlowChaikin Money Flow is a well-known Indicator for gauging buying/selling pressure. Marc Chaikin intended this to be used on the daily timeframe to capture the behavior of price action at or near the daily close when larger-scale actors influence the market. The calculation is straight forward as described within the built-in TradingView "CMF" indicator:
1. Period Money Flow Multiplier = ((Close - Low) - (High - Close)) /(High - Low)
2. Period Money Flow Volume = Period Money Flow Multiplier x Volume for the Period
3. Chaikin Money Flow = 21 Period Sum of Money Flow Volume / 21 Period Sum of Volume
There is, however, a problem with this algorithm: it does not account for daily gaps in price action. This leads to the indicator sometimes moving out-of-sync with price action and/or an under-emphasis of the magnitude change of the indicator relative to the change in price action. This is a significant problem for someone trying to read divergences against an underlying.
Note: I have never seen a published attempt to improve this indicator which is why I decided that there had to be a way to do it.
In order to mitigate this issue, I have taken the basic script provided by TradingView and made a key modification. If the open of a candle is outside the range of the previous candle, then the close of the previous candle is used as the "high" for the current candle (in the case of a gap down) or the "low" for the current candle (in the case of a gap up). However, if the close of the current candle exceeds the previous close, highs and lows for the current candle are calculated as normal. I believe this accounts for gaps in price action without significantly altering the original intent of the indicator.
I have made four other minor tweaks:
1. Default style is color coded area above and below the Zero Line
2. Range scaled to +/-100 instead of +/-1 (displays better on graph)
3. Set timeframe to Daily (as that is the timeframe for which this indicator was intended by Chaikin)
4. Length defaults to 21 (which is what Chaikin uses)
[PlayBit]Correlation-Co _OI Correlation-Co _OI
This Indicator uses a Correlation Coefficient to compare a Crypto Currency to the Binance Open Interest feed if the data is provided
A move in the same direction is indicated with a positive value (the indicator will move up)
A move in the opposite direction the indicator will indicate with a negative value (the indicator will move down)
If both are moving in the same direction and are converging or diverging this will be shown by larger values for divergence and smaller for convergence but will be a positive value
Negative values are shown when price and _OI are moving opposite each other
You can toggle the auto Open Interest option in the settings to use something other than Open Interest if you would like
I still need to add a visual showing when longs are unwinding or opening and when shorts are covering or opening
This is a concept that I made for @Johnny a while back and I'm republishing public from private
This can be useful when comparing a Asset with its Open Interest

Multi-Indicator Divergence ScreenerHere is a new screener for everyone.
I have applied my Better Divergence On Any Indicator logic to scan 3 different indicators and up to 6 different assets at one time. Shoutout to LonesomeTheBlue and QuantNomad for their respective work on divergence and scanner scripts. I've implemented similar logic to put together this scanner.
So far, I have added support for RSI, OBV, MACD, MFI, Stochastic, and FSR, though I'm happy to add more by request. Please note, for simplicity, I have removed the logic to filter for only overbought/oversold divergences. Because this can scan both centered oscillators and non-centered indicators, overbought/oversold does not apply to all of them. I may try to find a way to work in back in later, as time allows.
Personally, I like to find confluences different types of indicators. For instance, agreeable divergence with a centered strength oscillator like RSI and a volume based indicator like OBV gives me more confidence that there will be follow-through.
Like in the Better Divergence script, you can opt to scan for confirmed divergences, potential divergences, or both.
You have the option to show or hide a table that will tell you exactly which assets have divergence, on which indicator they were found, and how many points of divergence were identified. By default, bull divergences will be green, bear will be red, but you can change these base colors to your liking. Confirmed divergences are shown with a solid background, while potentials (if selected) are shown with transparent background. If all 3 of your chosen indicators have divergence in the same direction, the asset name will show in the bull or bear color to highlight the confluence.
Alerts have also been set up to fire on bar close. The message will essentially tell you the same thing the table does, but in condensed format.
You can choose to have alerts fire any time there is any divergence detected across all assets, only when there are divergences on at least 2 of the chosen indicators for a given asset, or limit them to only when all 3 indicators show divergence in agreement.
Bull Bear Power VoidThere are a million oscillators out there based on volume. My biggest problem with them is that they simply tell you whether you have volume to the upside or volume to the down side. it's kind of tricks you with the lack of information into thinking you have a change in your trend or that you're going to be able to break out of a range across a moving average or through some trend line or support and resistance.
However many of these Oscillators are failing because they lacked to tell you one key thing. they tell you that you have volume but they never tell you if it's enough volume.
Even a popular indicator like the MACD can have its MACD Line crossing upwards over the signal, telling you that you have an uptrend but again it's still failing to give you the results of how much volume you have and is it enough volume in that crossover. It boils down to the one key fact that with out volume there is no momentum. This should be able to make trading crossovers a lot easier.
So in today's video I'm going to show you the newest addition to the trading View Community Scripts and it is called,
"The Bull Bear Void Volume Oscillator"
From my own testing, this oscillator can predict weather the next candle will get you the move you need or not.
In the markets you cannot have anything good without volume. after you have volume you have momentum. you cannot have momentum without volume and this is the key thing that causes people to fail when they look for breakouts, trend reversals, or if they're wondering whether this move is a fake out.
This indicator is based on the study volume spread analysis or VSA.
This indicator is designed to be paired perfectly with the Heiken Ashi Algo oscillator.
www.INSERTA-LINK-HERE.com
This indicator is strictly to be used as a confirmation indicator and not to be used by itself to tell you when to buy or sell.
what are its parts.
The void
is a bullish and bearish Cloud that appear extending from the center of words and the center down words. This is the average range of volume. anything that appears to close inside of this void is usually a ranging volume and it is not enough to break the trend or break out.
The MACD and MACD Signal Line
Just like using the macd these two lines indicate whether the trend is moving up for the trend is moving down
The Colored Columns
RED Column - Indicates volume movie downward
Light Red - indicates volume is pulling back from a downward move
Green - indicates volume is moving upwards
Light Green - indicates volume is moving down from an outboard move
Rules for a SELL CONFIRMATION TRADE
The macd line must be underneath the signal line and the macd line must be below the midline.
A bullish column must appear below the midline and it must extend outside of the red void.
if you are using the heikin-ashi Aldo oscillator you must also have a red heiken Ashi candle close below -10.
To do a by trade you simply reverse the rules.
ICT - GAPs and Volume Imbalance
GAPs
Gaps are areas on chart where the price have moved sharply up or down, with no trading in between. Gaps often fill, but they don't have to.
Volume Imbalance
Volume imbalance - determined using 2 candles
Bullish Volume Imbalance - area between the close of 1st candle and the open of 2nd candle
Bearish Volume Imbalance - area between the close of 1st candle and the open of 2nd candle
How to use the indicator:-
When you find imbalance in volume or a GAP in the chart, you may expect price to rebalance it before continuation.
Importantly, GAPs/Imbalances do not always fill. Traders should never assume that a gap/imbalance will fill without understanding the reasons for the gap and monitoring trading activity around the gap.
Pair it with your current bias for better results.
UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI)UFO + Realtime Divergences (UO x MFI) + Alerts
The UFO is a hybrid of two powerful oscillators - the Ultimate Oscillator (UO) and the Money Flow Index (MFI)
Features of the UFO include:
- Optional divergence lines drawn directly onto the oscillator in realtime.
- Configurable alerts to notify you when divergences occur, as well as centerline crossovers.
- Configurable lookback periods to fine tune the divergences drawn in order to suit different trading styles and timeframes.
- Background colouring option to indicate when the oscillator has crossed its centerline.
- Alternate timeframe feature allows you to configure the oscillator to use data from a different timeframe than the chart it is loaded on.
- 2x MTF triple-timeframe Stochastic RSI overbought and oversold confluence signals painted at the top of the panel for use as a confluence for reversal entry trades.
The core calculations of the UFO+ combine the factory settings of the Ultimate Oscillator and Money Flow Index, taking an average of their combined values for its output eg:
UO_Value + MFI_Value / 2
The result is a powerful oscillator capable of detecting high quality divergences, including on very low timeframes and highly volatile markets, it benefits from the higher weighting of the most recent price action provided by the Ultimate Oscillators calculations, as well as the calculation of the MFI, which incorporates volume data. The UFO and its incorporated 2x triple-timeframe MTF Stoch RSI overbought and oversold signals makes it well adapted for low timeframe scalping and regular divergence trades in particular.
The Ultimate Oscillator (UO)
Tradingview describes the Ultimate Oscillator as follows:
“The Ultimate Oscillator indicator (UO) is a technical analysis tool used to measure momentum across three varying timeframes. The problem with many momentum oscillators is that after a rapid advance or decline in price, they can form false divergence trading signals. For example, after a rapid rise in price, a bearish divergence signal may present itself, however price continues to rise. The Ultimate Oscillator attempts to correct this by using multiple timeframes in its calculation as opposed to just one timeframe which is what is used in most other momentum oscillators.”
You can read more about the UO and its calculations here
The Money Flow Index ( MFI )
Investopedia describes the True Strength Indicator as follows:
“The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100. Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .”
You can read more about the MFI and its calculations here
The Stochastic RSI (relating to the built-in MTF Stoch RSI feature)
The popular oscillator has been described as follows:
“The Stochastic RSI is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and one (or zero and 100 on some charting platforms) and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index ( RSI ) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold. The Stochastic RSI oscillator was developed to take advantage of both momentum indicators in order to create a more sensitive indicator that is attuned to a specific security's historical performance rather than a generalized analysis of price change.”
You can read more about the Stochastic RSI and its calculations here
How do traders use overbought and oversold levels in their trading?
The oversold level, that is when the Stochastic RSI is above the 80 level is typically interpreted as being 'overbought', and below the 20 level is typically considered 'oversold'. Traders will often use the Stochastic RSI at an overbought level as a confluence for entry into a short position, and the Stochastic RSI at an oversold level as a confluence for an entry into a long position. These levels do not mean that price will necessarily reverse at those levels in a reliable way, however. This is why this version of the Stoch RSI employs the triple timeframe overbought and oversold confluence, in an attempt to add a more confluence and reliability to this usage of the Stoch RSI .
What are divergences?
Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
There are 4 main types of divergence, which are split into 2 categories;
regular divergences and hidden divergences. Regular divergences indicate possible trend reversals, and hidden divergences indicate possible trend continuation.
Regular bullish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current downtrend, to an uptrend.
Regular bearish divergence: An indication of a potential trend reversal, from the current uptrend, to a downtrend.
Hidden bullish divergence: An indication of a potential uptrend continuation.
Hidden bearish divergence: An indication of a potential downtrend continuation.
How do traders use divergences in their trading?
A divergence is considered a leading indicator in technical analysis , meaning it has the ability to indicate a potential price move in the short term future.
Hidden bullish and hidden bearish divergences, which indicate a potential continuation of the current trend are sometimes considered a good place for traders to begin, since trend continuation occurs more frequently than reversals, or trend changes.
When trading regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences, which are indications of a trend reversal, the probability of it doing so may increase when these occur at a strong support or resistance level . A common mistake new traders make is to get into a regular divergence trade too early, assuming it will immediately reverse, but these can continue to form for some time before the trend eventually changes, by using forms of support or resistance as an added confluence, such as when price reaches a moving average, the success rate when trading these patterns may increase.
Typically, traders will manually draw lines across the swing highs and swing lows of both the price chart and the oscillator to see whether they appear to present a divergence, this indicator will draw them for you, quickly and clearly, and can notify you when they occur.
Setting alerts.
With this indicator you can set alerts to notify you when any/all of the above types of divergences occur, on any chart timeframe you choose.
Configurable pivot period.
You can adjust the default pivot lookback values to suit your prefered trading style and timeframe. If you like to trade a shorter time frame, lowering the default lookback values will make the divergences drawn more sensitive to short term price action.
