Average Directional Index infoAverage Directional Index (ADX) is a technical indicator created by J. Welles Wilder that measures trend strength (not direction!). Values range from 0 to 100.
This indicator is a supplementary tool for assessing whether trend strategies are worthwhile, monitoring changes in trend strength and avoiding weak, choppy movements
Value Interpretation:
0-25: Weak trend or sideways market
25-50: Moderate to strong trend
50-75: Very strong trend
75-100: Extremely strong trend (rare)
Important: ADX does not indicate trend direction (up/down), only its strength!
This script indicator includes additional features:
1. ADX Plot (purple line)
Basic ADX value showing current trend strength.
2. ADX Trend Analysis (arrows)
The script compares current ADX with its 10-period moving average with ±5% tolerance:
↑ (green): ADX rising → trend strengthening
↓ (red): ADX falling → trend weakening
⮆ (gray): ADX stable → trend strength unchanged
3. Information Table
Displays current ADX value with trend arrow in the top-right corner.
Parameters to Configure
Smoothing (default: 14) - Indicator smoothing period
Lower values (e.g., 7): more sensitive, more signals
Higher values (e.g., 21): more stable, less noise
Indicator Length (default: 14) - Period for calculating directional movement (+DI/-DI)
Wilder's standard value is 14
Trend Length (default: 10) - Period for moving average to analyze ADX dynamics
Determines how quickly changes in trend strength are detected
Practical Application
✅ Strategy 1: Trend Strength Filter
1. ADX > 25 → look for positions aligned with the trend
2. ADX < 25 → avoid trend strategies, consider oscillators
✅ Strategy 2: Entries on Strengthening Trend
1. ADX crosses above 25 + arrow ↑ → trend gaining momentum
2. Combine with other indicators (e.g., EMA) for direction confirmation
✅ Strategy 3: Exhaustion Warning
1. ADX > 50 + arrow ↓ → strong trend may be exhausting
2. Consider profit protection or trailing stop
Directionalmovementindex
TCP DMITCP DMI - Advanced Technical Indicator
This advanced DMI (Directional Movement Index) indicator enhances the traditional DMI by adding intelligent dynamic support and resistance levels based on historical price action analysis.
KEY FEATURES:
1. Standard DMI Components:
- DI+ (Directional Indicator Positive): Measures upward price movement
- DI- (Directional Indicator Negative): Measures downward price movement
- ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength
- Middle line at 20 for reference
2. Dynamic Support & Resistance Levels:
The indicator automatically identifies the most significant support and resistance levels by analyzing the last 400 candles (customizable) and detecting where DI lines have been rejected most frequently.
TWO TIERS OF LEVELS:
A) Normal Levels (Solid Lines):
- Support: Below 15
- Resistance: Above 25
- Style: Solid lines with 60% transparency
- These represent moderate support/resistance zones
B) Strong Levels (Dashed Lines):
- Strong Support: Below 10
- Strong Resistance: Above 30
- Style: Dashed lines with 40% transparency (more visible)
- These represent critical support/resistance zones
3. Intelligent Display Logic:
- When DI is ABOVE 20: Shows resistance levels (where price might face selling pressure)
- When DI is BELOW 20: Shows support levels (where price might find buying support)
- Each DI line (+ and -) has its own color-coded support/resistance levels for easy identification
4. Color Coding:
- DI+ levels use GREEN (customizable)
- DI- levels use RED/ORANGE (customizable)
- Support/Resistance lines match their respective DI colors but with reduced opacity
- This makes it instantly clear which DI the support/resistance belongs to
5. Rejection Detection Algorithm:
The indicator scans historical data to find peaks and troughs at specific levels, counting how many times price was rejected at each level. The level with the most rejections becomes the displayed support or resistance.
CUSTOMIZABLE PARAMETERS:
- ADX Smoothing: Default 14
- DI Length: Default 14
- Lookback Period: 400 candles (range: 50-500)
- Line Length: 15 candles forward + 15 candles back = 30 candle span
- DI+ Color: Customizable (default green)
- DI- Color: Customizable (default red)
- ADX Color: Customizable (default blue)
- Normal S/R Transparency: Default 60%
- Strong S/R Transparency: Default 40%
HOW TO USE:
1. Trend Identification:
- When DI+ crosses above DI-: Potential uptrend
- When DI- crosses above DI+: Potential downtrend
- ADX above 25: Strong trend
- ADX below 20: Weak trend or ranging market
2. Support/Resistance Trading:
- Watch for price reaction when DI approaches displayed support/resistance levels
- Solid lines = moderate levels
- Dashed lines = strong levels (more significant)
- The more rejections at a level, the more significant it becomes
3. Entry/Exit Signals:
- Entry: When DI bounces off support (below 20) or resistance (above 20)
- Exit: When DI breaks through major support/resistance levels
- Strong levels (dashed) are more reliable for major decisions
ADVANTAGES:
✓ Reduces chart clutter by only showing relevant levels based on current DI position
✓ Automatically adapts to changing market conditions
✓ Color-coded for instant visual recognition
✓ Two-tier system helps prioritize trading decisions
✓ Historical rejection analysis provides data-backed levels
✓ Fully customizable to match any trading style
BEST USED FOR:
- Swing trading
- Trend following
- Support/resistance trading strategies
- Identifying potential reversal zones
- Confirming breakout validity
- Risk management (stop-loss placement)
This indicator combines the power of traditional DMI with smart support/resistance detection, giving traders a comprehensive tool for technical analysis without overwhelming the chart with excessive information.
Directional Imbalance Index [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Directional Imbalance Index is designed to track market strength by counting how often price sets new highs or lows over a defined lookback period. Every time a bar forms a new extreme, the indicator records a +1 count for either bullish (highs) or bearish (lows). These counts are aggregated into a rolling calculation, allowing traders to see which side dominates and how directional imbalance evolves.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Each new highest high → adds a bullish count (+1).
Each new lowest low → adds a bearish count (+1).
Counts are stored inside arrays over a user-defined Calculation Period .
for i = 0 to period-1
h = high
l = low
if h == upper
countUp.push(1)
if l == lower
countDn.push(1)
The balance between bullish and bearish counts highlights dominance and imbalance.
Normalized percentages help compare both sides (e.g., 65% bullish vs 35% bearish).
🔵 FEATURES
Counts new highs/lows over a chosen Highest/Lowest Length .
Aggregates values over a rolling Calculation Period .
Plots cumulative bullish vs bearish totals in the subchart.
Displays % share of bulls vs bears from total counts.
On-chart labels mark bars where a count was added.
Plots reference lines of the current upper (high) and lower (low) ranges.
Dynamic fill between bullish/bearish plots to visualize which side dominates.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for persistent bullish imbalance (bull % > bear %) as confirmation of upward momentum.
Look for persistent bearish imbalance (bear % > bull %) as confirmation of downward momentum.
Watch for shifts in % dominance — often early signs of trend reversal or weakening strength.
Use labels on the chart to visually confirm which bars contributed to directional bias.
Combine with trend or volume tools to confirm whether imbalance aligns with market direction.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Directional Imbalance Index offers a systematic way to measure directional pressure. By counting how often price pushes into new territory, the indicator reveals whether bulls or bears are taking control. This makes it a valuable tool for detecting early signs of trend continuation or exhaustion, helping traders align with the side most likely to dominate.

Intraday Trading Hit and Run# Strategy Overview
This is a short-term trading system designed for quick entries/exits (intraday). It uses multiple technical indicators to identify momentum trades in the direction of the trend, with built-in risk management through trailing stops.
# Main Components
1. Trend Filter
Uses two EMAs (10-period "fast" blue line and 100-period "slow" red line)
Only trades when:
Long: Price AND fast EMA are above slow EMA
Short: Price AND fast EMA are below slow EMA
2. Main Signal
////Stochastic Oscillator (14-period):
Buy when %K line crosses above %D line
Sell when %K crosses below %D
////Trend Strength Check
Smoothed ADX indicator (5-period EMA of ADX):
Requires ADX value ≥ 25 to confirm strong trend
3. Confirmation using Volume Filter (Optional)
Checks if current volume is 1.5× greater than 20-period average volume
# Entry Rules
A trade is only taken when:
All 3 indicators agree (EMA trend, Stochastic momentum, ADX strength)
Volume filter is satisfied (if enabled)
# Exit Rules
1. Emergency Exit:
Close long if price drops below fast EMA
Close short if price rises above fast EMA
2. Trailing Stop:
Actively protects profits by moving stop-loss:
Maintains 0.1% distance from highest price (longs) or lowest price (shorts)
# Risk Management
Only use 10% of account per trade
Includes 0.04% commission cost in calculations
All trades monitored with trailing stops
# How It Operates
The strategy looks for strong, high-volume momentum moves in the direction of the established trend (as determined by EMAs). It jumps in quickly ("hit") when conditions align, then protects gains with an automatic trailing stop ("run"). Designed for fast markets where trends develop rapidly.
You can use it on 15m, 1h or 4h
Directional Movement Index (DMI) + AlertsThis is a Study with associated visual indicators and Bullish/Bearish Alerts for Directional Movement (DMI). It consists of an Average Directional Index (ADX), Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI).
Published by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 for use with currencies and commodities which are typically more volatile than stocks and have stronger trends.
Development Notes
---------------------------
This indicator, and most of the descriptions below, were derived largely from the TradingView reference manual. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are more than welcome, as well are recommended Input settings and best practices for use.
tradingview.com/chart/?solution=43000502250
Strategy Description
---------------------------
ADX defines whether or not there is a trend present; +DI and -DI compliment the ADX by taking direction into account. An ADX above 25 indicates a strong trend, and a Bullish alert is subsequently triggered when +DI is above -DI and a Bearish alert when -DI is above +DI.
Note that the Bullish or Bearish crossover alert will only trigger if ADX is simultaneously above 25 during the crossover event. If ADX later rises to 25 and +DI is still greater than -DI, or -DI greater than +DI, then a delayed alert will not trigger by design.
Basic Use
---------------------------
Acceptable DMI values are up to the trader's interpretation and may change depending on the financial instrument being examined. Recommend not changing any default values without being first familiar with their purpose and impact on the indicator at large.
Confidence in price action and trend is higher when two or more indicators are in agreement -- therefore we recommend not using this indicator by itself to determine entry or exit trade opportunities.
Recommend also choosing 'Once Per Bar Close' when creating alerts.
Inputs
---------------------------
ADX Smoothing - the time period to be used in calculating the ADX which has a smoothing component (14 is the Default).
DI Length - the time period to be used in calculating the DI (14 is the Default).
Key Level - any trade with the ADX above the key level is a strong indicator that it is trending (23 to 25 is the suggested setting).
Sensitivity - an incremental variable to test whether the past n candles are in the same bullish or bearish state before triggering a delayed crossover alert (3 is the Default). Filter out some noise and reduces active alerts.
Show ADX Option - two visual styles are provided for user preference, a visible ADX line or a background overlay (green or red when ADX is above the key level, for bullish or bearish, and gray when below).
Color Candles - an option to transpose the bullish and bearish crossovers to the main candle bars. Can be turned off in the Style Tab by deselecting 'Bar Colors'. Dark blue is bullish, dark purple is bearish, and the black inner color is neutral. Note that the outer red and green border will still be distinguished by whether each individual candle is bearish or bullish during the specified timeframe.
Indicator Visuals
---------------------------
Bullish or Bearish plot based on DMI strategy (ADX and +/-DI values).
Visual cues are intended to improve analysis and decrease interpretation time during trading, as well as to aid in understanding the purpose of this study and how its inclusion can benefit a comprehensive trading strategy.
Trend Strength
---------------------------
To analyze trend strength, the focus should be on the ADX line and not the +DI or -DI lines. An ADX reading above 25 indicates a strong trend, while a reading below 20 indicates a weak or non-existent trend. A reading between those two values would be considered indeterminable. Though what is truly a strong trend or a weak trend depends on the financial instrument being examined; historical analysis can assist in determining appropriate values.
Bullish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. +DI cross above -DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's low (any +DI cross-backs below -DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Bearish DI Cross
---------------------------
1. ADX must be over 25 (strong trend) (value is determined by the trader)
2. -DI cross above +DI
3. Set Stop Loss at the current day's high (any -DI cross-backs below +DI should be ignored)
4. Set trailing stop if ADX strengthens (i.e., signal rises)
Disclaimer
---------------------------
This post and the script are not intended to provide any financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
No known repainting.
Version 1.1
-------------------------
- Added multi-timeframe resolution using PineCoders secure security function to eliminate repainting.
- Cleaned up option for selecting ADX view; and added a colored line as a choice, based on same bullish, bearish, or neutral colors as the background.
- Added exit crossover indicator to aid in an overall strategy development. This ability pairs better with my CHOP Zone Entry Strategy which relies on DMI Exits. Note that exit conditions don't employ the sensitivity variable. Green labels are for Bullish exits and red are for Bearish.
-- Exit condition is triggered if in an active Bullish or Bearish position and ADX drops below 25, Or if either the -DI crosses above +DI (for previously Bullish) or +DI crosses above -DI (for previously Bearish).
- Added reverse position determination. Triggers when a Bullish entry occurs on the same candle as a Bearish exit, or vice versa. Green labels are for Bullish reverses and red are for Bearish.
- Added selectable option to choose visible labels -- Bearish, Bullish, Both, Exits, Reverses, or All.
-- Note that a reverse label will only show if the opposing entry and exit labels are set to show, otherwise the reverse will revert to the appropriate entry or exit on the chart.
- Added alerts to account for new conditions.
-- Note that alerts for crossovers, exits, and reverses will only be triggered if the associated labels are selected to be shown (i.e., what you choose to see on the chart is what you will be alerted to).
Version 1.2
-------------------------
- Changed exit condition to be decided on by whether ADX is below 25 and on a +/-DI crossover. Versus being either or. The previous version had too many false triggers. This variety can now show multiple Bullish or Bearish alerts before an Exit condition too. I'm tempted to simply make this condition based on ADX, and not DI … thoughts? See lines 138 and 139.
- Updated the Background view to have deeper shades of colors dependent upon the ADX trend strength.
- Added an Oscillator view for the ADX and momentum computations to color the histogram by trend. DI lines are hidden.
-- If ADX is Bullish, then the oscillator is colored light green in an uptrend and dark green in a downtrend; if Bearish, then its light red in an uptrend and dark redin a downtrend; if adx is below key level, then it is light gray in a downtrend and dark grey in the uptrend.
- Added option to Hide ADX in case only the Directional lines are desired. This could be useful if you would like to have the ADX oscillator in one panel and +/-DI crossovers in another.
- Added a Columnar view for the ADX. DI lines are hidden. This view is really simple and compact, with the trend strength still easily understood. Colors are the same as for the oscillator -- the deeper the shade of green or red, then the higher the ADX trend strength level.
- Added a Trend Strength label.
ADX Trend Strength Trade (Y/N) Setup Types
0 to 10 = Barely Breathing N N/A
10 to 20 = Weak Trend Y Range/Pre-Breakout
20 to 30 = Potentially Starting to Trend Y Early Stage Trend
30 to 50 = Strong Trend Y Ride the Wave
50 to 75 = Very Strong Trend N Exhaustion
75 to 100 = Extremely Strong Trend N N/A
Version 1.3

Balance Price Range (BPR) IndicatorOverview
The BPR with Directional Momentum-Filtered Breakouts indicator is designed to identify Balanced Price Ranges (BPR) and d etect high-probability breakouts and breakdowns with directional momentum confirmation . By leveraging historical BPR structures, EMA-based momentum filtering , and a trade cooldown mechanism , this script provides a structured approach to identifying potential trading opportunities while reducing false signals.
This invite-only indicator is ideal for traders who seek precise breakout confirmation, reduced noise, and trend-following logic while maintaining flexibility through adjustable parameters.
How It Works
The script follows a multi-step breakout detection process by integrating multiple key technical components:
1. Balanced Price Range (BPR) Detection:
• A Balanced Candle is identified when the price remains within a specific percentage of its range midpoint.
• These BPR zones represent areas of equilibrium , where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
• The script historically tracks BPR levels across the entire chart to monitor price action around key areas.
2. Momentum-Filtered Breakout & Breakdown Logic:
• Bullish Breakout: Occurs when the price breaks above the historical BPR high with bullish momentum.
• Bearish Breakdown: Occurs when the price breaks below the historical BPR low with bearish momentum.
• Momentum Confirmation: Each breakout requires a strong directional move, measured against the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) .
• Only confirmed breakouts are marked, reducing the likelihood of false signals in choppy markets.
3. Candle-Based Background Visualization:
• Grey Background: Represents a Balanced Price Range (BPR), indicating potential breakout zones.
• Green Background: Indicates a Bullish Breakout when the price successfully breaks and holds above the BPR high.
• Red Background: Indicates a Bearish Breakdown when the price drops below the BPR low.
4. Trade Cooldown Mechanism:
• Prevents consecutive signals from triggering too frequently.
• Default cooldown period: 5 bars (adjustable).
• Ensures that trades are not clustered, improving signal quality.
5. EMA for Trend Direction & Confirmation:
• A 20-period EMA (default, adjustable) is used to confirm trade direction.
• Breakouts above the EMA align with uptrend continuation.
• Breakdowns below the EMA align with downtrend momentum.
Key Features
✔️ Historical BPR Detection – Tracks past BPR levels across the entire chart for structured breakout zones.
✔️ Momentum-Based Breakouts – Ensures breakouts are confirmed by directional price movement before generating signals.
✔️ Candle-Based Background Logic – Subtle candle highlights rather than full background fills, for better chart clarity.
✔️ Trade Cooldown Period – Prevents consecutive buy/sell signals within a defined period, improving signal efficiency.
✔️ Dynamic EMA Confirmation – Ensures trades align with the overall trend, reducing counter-trend trades.
✔️ Customizable Inputs – Adjust breakout thresholds, EMA length, and cooldown periods as per trading style.
✔️ Works Across Multiple Timeframes – Can be applied to intraday, swing, and positional trading strategies.
How to Use
1. Look for Balanced Price Ranges ( BPR )
• These zones highlight equilibrium areas where price is likely to break out.
• Grey-shaded candles indicate potential breakout zones.
2. Monitor for Bullish or Bearish Breakouts
• A green candle background signals a bullish breakout above BPR.
• A red candle background signals a bearish breakdown below BPR.
• The EMA filter helps confirm whether the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend.
3. Follow the Cooldown Logic
• After a breakout signal, wait for the cooldown period before another trade is allowed.
• This helps filter out noisy price action and prevents excessive trading.
4. Use Alongside Other Indicators
• Works well with volume analysis, support/resistance levels, and price action strategies.
• Can be combined with other momentum indicators for further trade confirmation.
Why This Combination?
Unlike generic breakout indicators, this script uniquely combines:
• BPR historical structures for defining potential breakout zones.
• Momentum-based breakout filtering using EMA confirmation.
• Trade cooldown logic to avoid excessive trading signals.
• Subtle candle-based highlights instead of cluttered full-background fills.
This structured approach makes the indicator more robust, adaptive, and reliable in different market conditions.
Why It’s Worth Using?
🔹 Avoid False Breakouts: Built-in momentum confirmation prevents weak or fake breakouts.
🔹 Clean Visualization: No excessive overlays—just precise, meaningful background coloring for breakouts.
🔹 Works in Any Market: Use on stocks, crypto, forex, indices, and commodities across different timeframes.
🔹 User-Friendly & Customizable: Fine-tune parameters to match individual trading styles.
⚠️ Note: This is an Invite-Only script. Access is granted to selected users.
✅ If you find it useful, consider incorporating it into your trend-following & breakout trading strategies.
🚀 Optimize your trading with structured breakout detection! 🚀
Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter indicator is an advanced trend-following tool designed to help traders accurately identify market trends. Utilizing the Kalman Filter—a statistical algorithm rooted in control theory and signal processing—this indicator adapts to changing market conditions, smoothing price data to filter out noise. By focusing on state vector-based calculations, it dynamically adjusts trend and range measurements, making it an excellent tool for both trend-following and range-based trading strategies. The indicator's adaptive nature is enhanced by options for volatility adjustment and three unique Kalman filter models, each tailored for different market conditions.
█ How It Works
The Kalman Filter works by maintaining a model of the market state through matrices that represent state variables, error covariances, and measurement uncertainties. Here’s how each component plays a role in calculating the indicator’s trend:
⚪ State Vector (X): The state vector is a two-dimensional array where each element represents a market property. The first element is an estimate of the true price, while the second element represents the rate of change or trend in that price. This vector is updated iteratively with each new price, maintaining an ongoing estimate of both price and trend direction.
⚪ Covariance Matrix (P): The covariance matrix represents the uncertainty in the state vector’s estimates. It continuously adapts to changing conditions, representing how much error we expect in our trend and price estimates. Lower covariance values suggest higher confidence in the estimates, while higher values indicate less certainty, often due to market volatility.
⚪ Process Noise (Q): The process noise matrix (Q) is used to account for uncertainties in price movements that aren’t explained by historical trends. By allowing some degree of randomness, it enables the Kalman Filter to remain responsive to new data without overreacting to minor fluctuations. This noise is particularly useful in smoothing out price movements in highly volatile markets.
⚪ Measurement Noise (R): Measurement noise is an external input representing the reliability of each new price observation. In this indicator, it is represented by the setting Measurement Noise and determines how much weight is given to each new price point. Higher measurement noise makes the indicator less reactive to recent prices, smoothing the trend further.
⚪ Update Equations:
Prediction: The state vector and covariance matrix are first projected forward using a state transition matrix (F), which includes market estimates based on past data. This gives a “predicted” state before the next actual price is known.
Kalman Gain Calculation: The Kalman gain is calculated by comparing the predicted state with the actual price, balancing between the covariance matrix and measurement noise. This gain determines how much of the observed price should influence the state vector.
Correction: The observed price is then compared to the predicted price, and the state vector is updated using this Kalman gain. The updated covariance matrix reflects any adjustment in uncertainty based on the latest data.
█ Three Kalman Filter Models
Standard Model: Assumes that market fluctuations follow a linear progression without external adjustments. It is best suited for stable markets.
Volume Adjusted Model: Adjusts the filter sensitivity based on trading volume. High-volume periods result in stronger trends, making this model suitable for volume-driven assets.
Parkinson Adjusted Model: Uses the Parkinson estimator, accounting for volatility through high-low price ranges, making it effective in markets with high intraday fluctuations.
These models enable traders to choose a filter that aligns with current market conditions, enhancing trend accuracy and responsiveness.
█ Trend Strength
The Trend Strength provides a visual representation of the current trend's strength as a percentage based on oscillator calculations from the Kalman filter. This table divides trend strength into color-coded segments, helping traders quickly assess whether the market is strongly trending or nearing a reversal point. A high trend strength percentage indicates a robust trend, while a low percentage suggests weakening momentum or consolidation.
█ Trend Range
The Trend Range section evaluates the market's directional movement over a specified lookback period, highlighting areas where price oscillations indicate a trend. This calculation assesses how prices vary within the range, offering an indication of trend stability or the likelihood of reversals. By adjusting the trend range setting, traders can fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to longer or shorter trends.
█ Sigma Bands
The Sigma Bands in the indicator are based on statistical standard deviations (sigma levels), which act as dynamic support and resistance zones. These bands are calculated using the Kalman Filter's trend estimates and adjusted for volatility (if enabled). The bands expand and contract according to market volatility, providing a unique visualization of price boundaries. In high-volatility periods, the bands widen, offering better protection against false breakouts. During low volatility, the bands narrow, closely tracking price movements. Traders can use these sigma bands to spot potential entry and exit points, aiming for reversion trades or trend continuation setups.
Trend Based
Volatility Based
█ How to Use
Trend Following:
When the Kalman Filter is green, it signals a bullish trend, and when it’s red, it indicates a bearish trend. The Sigma Cloud provides additional insights into trend strength. In a strong bullish trend, the cloud remains below the Kalman Filter line, while in a strong bearish trend, the cloud stays above it. Expansion and contraction of the Sigma Cloud indicate market momentum changes. Rapid expansion suggests an impulsive move, which could either signal the continuation of the trend or be an early sign of a possible trend reversal.
Mean Reversion: Watch for prices touching the upper or lower sigma bands, which often act as dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Breakouts: Enable volatility-adjusted sigma bands. During high volatility, watch for price movements that extend beyond the bands as potential breakout signals.
Trend Continuation: When the Kalman Filter line aligns with a high trend strength, it signals a continuation in that direction.
█ Settings
Measurement Noise: Adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to price changes. Higher values smooth out fluctuations but delay reaction, while lower values increase sensitivity to short-term changes.
Kalman Filter Model: Choose between the standard, volume-adjusted, and Parkinson-adjusted models based on market conditions.
Band Sigma: Sets the standard deviation used for calculating the sigma bands, directly affecting the width of the dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Adjusted Bands: Enables bands to dynamically adapt to volatility, increasing their effectiveness in fluctuating markets.
Trend Strength: Defines the lookback period for trend strength calculation. Shorter periods result in more responsive trend strength readings, while longer periods smooth out the calculation.
Trend Range: Specifies the lookback period for the trend range, affecting the assessment of trend stability over time.

ADX-DI - Made EasyThis indicator is a visually improved version of ADX. It makes it much easier to see what's happening by simplifying those confusing, intersecting lines. With this, you can detect the ADX direction more clearly. All the features are also explained in the tooltips of the input fields. Some extra features are included, such as average top and bottom calculation and divergences.
Please note that the divergences on ADX are just experimental and are based on calculations, so there is no guarantee the direction will change.
Directional Movement Index FLEXA common problem experienced by short term traders using DMI/ADX is that the session breaks results in carry-over effects from the prior session. For example, a large gap up would result in a positive DMI, even though momentum is clearly negative. Note the extremely different results in the morning session, when the gap is reversed.
The DMI-FLEX algoritm resets the +DI and -DI values to the prior session ending midpoint, so that new momentum can be observed from the indicator. (Note for Pinescript coders: rma function does not accept series int, thus the explicit pine_rma function)
DMI-FLEX has the added feature that the ADX value, instead of a separate line, is shown as shading between the +DI and -DI lines, and the color itself is determined by whether +DI is above -DI for a bullish color, or -DI is above +DI for a bearish color.
DMI Flex also gives you the flexibility of inverse colors, in case your chart has inverted scale.
Summary and How to use:
1) Green when +DI is above -DI
2) Red when -DI is above +DI
3) Deeper shading represents a higher ADX value.
Ichimoku Cloud and ADX with Trailing Stop Loss (by Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
DMI is simple to interpret. When +DI > - DI, it means the price is trending up. On the other hand, when -DI > +DI , the trend is weak or moving on the downside. The ADX does not give an indication about the direction but about the strength of the trend.
Typically values of ADX above 25 mean that the trend is steeply moving up or down, based on the -DI and +D positioning. This script aims to capture swings in the DMI, and thus, in the trend of the asset, using a contrarian approach.
Trading on high values of ADX, the strategy tries to spot extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Values of ADX above 45 may suggest that the trend has overextended and is may be about to reverse.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the ADX indicator to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from 1 January 2018 and provides good returns.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
This script also works well on MATIC (1d timeframe), ETH (1d timeframe), and SOL (1d timeframe).
Directional Movement Indicator (DMI and ADX) - TartigradiaDirection Movement Indicator (DMI) is a trend indicator invented by Welles Wilder, who also authored RSI.
DMI+ and DMI- respectively indicate pressure towards bullish or bearish trends.
ADX is the average directional movement, which indicates whether the market is currently trending (high values above 25) or ranging (below 20) or undecided (between 20 and 25).
DMX is the non smoothed ADX, which allows to detect transitions from trending to ranging markets and inversely with zero lag, but at the expense of having much more noise.
This is an extended indicator, from the original one by BeikabuOyaji, please show them some love if you appreciate this indicator:
Usage: To use this indicator for entry: when DMI+ crosses over DMI-, there is a bullish sentiment, however ADX also needs to be above 25 to be significant, otherwise the move is not necessarily sustainable.
Inversely, when DMI+ crosses under DMI- and ADX is above 25, then the sentiment is significantly bearish, but if ADX is below 20, the signal should be disregarded.
This indicator automatically highlights the background in green when ADX is above 25, and in red when ADX is below 20, to ease interpretation.
Also, arrows can be activated in the Style menu to automatically show when the two conditions described above are met, or these can be used in a strategy.
Crypto-DX Crypto Directional Index [chhslai]Crypto-DX can be used to help measure the overall strength and direction of the crypto market trend.
Furthermore, it can be used as a screener to find out cryptocurrencies which are accumulating momentum and tends to potentially pump or dump.
How this indicator works :
If the Crypto-DX cross above the zero-level, it could be an indication that there is a trend reversal into upward. You should close your short position or place a long order right away.
If the Crypto-DX cross below the zero-level, it could be an indication that there is a trend reversal into downward. You should close your long position or place a short order right away.
If the Crypto-DX is consolidated around the zero-level, it could be an indication that the trend may be ended and followed by a sideway market. You are suggested not to place any order and wait for the market moves.
Divergence based trading strategy is fully applicable, just like the MACD.
Screener features :
Plot "Crypto Index" and "5 Custom Crypto"
Plot "Crypto Index" and "Top 30 Crypto"
Directional Movement RibbonWhat makes this different from directional movement index?
The aim is to reduce the amount of data analysis necessary before taking action; currently using DMI requires reviewing the DM+ and DM- plots, and ADX as well as review the overall trend of each one. Also there is the final analysis to determine whether a strong trend hasn’t been established at all.
This indicator condenses the information found from the standard DMI into an intuitive colored ribbon that reveals direction and strength at a glance.
How to use it?
Review the ribbon for sentiment based on color, green being bullish and red being bearish, (if using default color scheme). The brightness of the color determines the strength of the sentiment, brightest being strongest. If no color is represented at all then it is due to weakness and/or lack of direction.
Features
All colors customizable
Toggle display of indecision areas
Adjust levels considered strong, weak trends
Which markets is this meant for?
This can be used in any market, though it’s recommended to use with liquid markets where direction and strength can be found often.
What conditions?
Recommend to utilize with key levels and most commonly utilized moving average periods such as 20, 50, 100 or 200.
Sideways Strategy DMI + Bollinger Bands (by Coinrule)Markets don’t always trade in a clear direction. At a closer look, most of the time, they move sideways. Relying on trend-following strategies all the time can thus lead to repeated false signals in such conditions.
However, before you can safely trade sideways, you have to identify the most suitable market conditions.
The main features of such strategies are:
Short-term trades, with quick entries and quick exits
Slightly contrarian and mean-reversionary
Require some indicator that tells you it’s a sideways market
This Sideways DMI + Bollinger Bands strategy incorporates such features to bring you a profitable alternative when the regular trend-following systems stop working.
ENTRY
1. The trading system requires confirmation for a sideways market from the Directional Movement Index (DMI) before you can start opening any trades. For this purpose, the strategy uses the absolute difference between positive and negative DMI, which must be lower than 20.
2. To pick the right moment to buy, the strategy looks at the Bollinger Bands (BB). It enters the trade when the price crosses over the lower BB.
EXIT
The strategy then exits when the move has been exhausted. Generally, in sideways markets, the price should revert lower. The position is closed when the price crosses back down below the upper BB.
The best time frame for this strategy based on our backtest is the 1-hr. Shorter timeframes can also work well on certain coins that are more volatile and trade sideways more often. However, as expected, these exhibit larger volatility in their returns. In general, this approach suits medium timeframes. A trading fee of 0.1% is taken into account. The fee is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance, which is the largest cryptocurrency exchange.

[UPRIGHT Trading] MoneyFlowTrend Oscillator(cc) PremiumHey Traders,
Tonight I'm updating my beloved original MoneyFlowTrend Oscillator with a Premium version.
A little background:
This is an indicator that I've been working to bring to life for years; learning pinescript code has allowed me to do just that.
Built on the idea of Supply & Demand Zones, this utilizes money flow and numerous calculations to create a picture of what is happening underneath the surface of the price action.
Richard Wykoff was one of the first market analysts to explain how the economic cycle can be applied to explain market price action; thus, technical analysis . He described two zones among the total of 4 phases; the two zones are Distribution and Accumulation zones, also known as Supply & Demand zones.
______________________________
Since most of you already know the economic cycle, I will try to be concise.
The basic ideas:
When supply > demand, the price goes up down.
When demand > supply, price goes up.
When demand = supply, the price stays about the same (going sideways).
Price action has --Uptrends, downtrends, and price ranges (consolidation).
Wykoff's 4 phases to explain this price action :
1) Accumulation (Demand zone)
2) Markup (Uptrend)
3) Distribution (Supply zone)
4) Markdown (Downtrend)
______________________________
With all that said, usually you will either see a sharp jump from a supply or demand zone or it will consolidate within it. Until a new one is formed on the chart.
This indicator attempts to put all of that into a lower indicator. I tried to separate the retailers and the banks and then put them back together to get a full picture.
Premium:
-Even MORE (quality & quantity) Accurate signals.
-Reversal Signal added (Circle- shown on chart)
-Cleaner Scaling and Organization.
The chart shown above should look like this:
Good luck traders.
Cheers,
Mike

ADX Triple - Average Directional Movement Index - TradingEDThis case study is based on a previous ADX + DM study, but with three different counts to compare different trends. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level, from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Key components of the original indicator:
• The DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI) is a technical indicator that measures both the strength and direction of a price movement and is intended to reduce false signals.
• The DMI uses two standard indicators, one negative (-DI) and one positive (+DI), in conjunction with a third, the AVERAGE DIRECTIONAL INDEX (ADX), which is non-directional but shows momentum.
• The larger the spread between the two primary lines, the stronger the price trend. If +DI is way above -DI the price trend is strongly up. If -DI is way above +DI then the price trend is strongly down.
• ADX measures the strength of the trend, either up or down; a reading above 20 indicates a strong trend.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two DMI lines, from which ADX is derived. When +DI is above -DI , there is more upward pressure than downward pressure in the price. Conversely, if -DI is above +DI , then there is more downward pressure on the price. This indicator may help traders assess the trend direction. Crossovers between the lines are also sometimes used as trade signals to buy or sell, theay are the main trade signals. A long trade is taken when the +DI crosses above the -DI and an uptrend could be underway. Meanwhile, a sell signal occurs when the +DI instead crosses below the -DI .
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) You can select the type of MOVING AVERAGE , among many available options (SMA, EMA, DEMA, HMA, etc.)
2) The SOURCE for the counts can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
3) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards , or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES , HOURS or DAYS , depending on your trading style.
4) LENGTH , by default it will be loaded as in the STRATEGY , but considering the previous point, you can modify it according to your convenience.
5) You have the option to hide or show a LABEL at the top of the chart, with respect to the signals: BULLISH green, BEARISH red.
Main performance functions of this modified indicator:
I) In the case of the PERFORMANCE that appears at the right of the chart, you have the option to adjust the WIDTH of each box.
II) The TEXT of the PERFORMANCE is not modifiable, but you can customize the default color. *
III) The BACKGROUND of the PERFORMANCE , you can customize the default color. *
IV) You have the option to hide or show a PERFORMANCE that appears at the right of the chart.
Main functions to customize the style of this indicator:
a) You can select the color for ADX and for DMI , with the colors that best suit you.
b) The CROSSOVER/CROSSUNDER signal between DI+ and DI- can also be customized. *
c) For any type of SIGNAL , it is painted as a VERTICAL LINE in the graph, you can change the color that comes by default. *
d) In the case of the LABELS that appear at the top, the text is not modifiable, but you can customize both the type of label and change the default color. *
e) You can select the colors for the BACKGROUND of the indicator according to the trend, whether it is BEARISH or BULLISH , with the colors that best suit you. *
* By default, they are marked as red for downtrends and green for uptrends.
DIOSC indicatorThe Diosc indicator based on DMI is the combined version of -DI and +DI. While +DI is above (the trend is up), +DI is used and in the other case -DI is used. In addition, 9-day EMA was added to the graph so that sell/buy points could be seen on the histogram. Both sell/buy points and divergence/convergence can be followed on the graph.
Temeli DMI üzerine kurulmuş Diosc göstergesi -DI ve +DI'ın birleştirilmiş halidir. Temel mantığı +DI yukarıda iken yani trend yukarı iken +DI, diğer durumda da -DI göz önüne alınarak grafik oluşturulmuştur. Ek olarak Al-Sat noktalarının histogram üzerinde görülebilmesi için de grafiğe 9 günlük EMA eklenmiştir. Grafik üzerinde hem Al-Sat noktaları takip edilebilir hem de uyuşmazlıklar takip edilebilir.
