Quantum Edge Signals — trend-aware buy/sell signals

Quantum Edge Signals (Fixed) is a practical, performance-minded indicator for swing and trend traders. It blends StochRSI and volatility to generate buy/sell signals, then filters and classifies those signals with an optional EMA trend filter and an RSI confirmation. The indicator also draws premium/discount price zones, reports buy/sell power inside those zones, plots pivot support/resistance, and places three ATR-based targets plus a stop — all while minimizing chart redraws so objects stay anchored and won’t shift when you pan or drag the chart.

Key features
• Signal engine: StochRSI oversold/overbought conditions combined with a volatility filter (price change vs. moving average of changes).
• Strong signal classification: optional EMA fast/slow trend filter to mark stronger buys/sells.
• Non-repainting confirmation: signals are confirmed using the previous bar (the entry price is the close of the confirmed bar).
• TP/SL management: three TP levels and one SL derived from ATR. Targets are created at the signal and are recalculated only when the trend flips (adaptive without constant movement).
• Premium / Discount zones: boxes drawn around a configurable MA band; zones are created once on entry and anchored to their start bar.
• Buy / Sell power: a zone-level buy/sell ratio (smoothed up/down volume) shown as a compact label at zone entry.
• Support & resistance: pivot S/R lines and small boxed zones for visual context.
• Whale screener: optional background highlight for large-volume bars.
• Performance-first: objects are created only when needed and anchored to fixed bar indices to prevent object churn and chart hanging.

How signals and targets behave
• A signal is considered “confirmed” on the previous bar to avoid repainting. The confirmed signal’s close is used as entryPrice.
• TP/SL lines are anchored to the signal bar. By default they are created at signal time and only recalc when the EMA-based trend flips direction — this keeps targets adaptive to meaningful trend changes while avoiding per-bar jitter.
• Zones and power labels are created once when price enters the premium or discount region and stay anchored to the zone start bar (so they don’t drift when you pan/drag the chart).

Main inputs (what you’ll usually tweak)
• Signal Length, Signal Factor — control StochRSI smoothing and the volatility multiplier.
• Use 2SD Filter — require price to be outside ±2 standard deviations of MA to trigger a signal.
• Show Signals (Classic / Strong / All) — which labels to display.
• Zone Length, Zone Offset — how wide and how many bars the premium/discount zones span.
• Buy/Sell Power thresholds — set numeric cutoffs for “Weak” / “Strong” labels.
• TP/SL Factors & ATR period — the multipliers used to calculate TP1/2/3 and SL from ATR.
• Fast/Slow EMA periods — used for the strong signal / trend filter.
• S/R Strength & Zone Width — pivot lookback and how wide S/R boxes are.

Recommended usage
• Timeframes: try 1H, 4H and Daily for swing/trend setups.
• Filters: enable the Strong (EMA) filter to limit trades to the direction of the trend.
• Zones: keep zone length moderate (10–30 bars) for readability.
• Testing: run forward paper trading and walk-forward tests before using real capital.

Why this version
This release focuses on reliability and chart performance. Objects (labels, lines and boxes) are anchored to the bar that created them, and the indicator avoids repeatedly creating and deleting the same objects on every historical bar — this prevents TradingView from hanging when dragging or panning.

Limitations & notes
• TP recalculation is based on ATR at the flip bar; the script keeps the original entry price fixed to avoid repainting entries.
• If you run many other drawing-heavy indicators at the same time, TradingView may still slow down — use a single instance while testing.
• The indicator is visual/confirmational — it is not a fully automated order-execution strategy.
