Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

MILLION MEN - Zone Scanner ProWhat it is
MILLION MEN - Zone Scanner is a context-driven momentum tool that visualizes trend regimes (bullish / bearish) and highlights the first-touch opportunity within each regime’s reactive zones. It’s designed to help traders identify pullbacks inside an existing bias rather than chasing breakouts.
How it works
Uses a custom RSI-style momentum meter calculated from RMA of up/down moves.
When the meter > upper threshold → Green Regime.
When the meter < lower threshold → Red Regime.
Defines LONG Zone (34 – 40) and SHORT Zone (60 – 70) for mean-reversion touches.
Prints L FT or S FT on the first confirmed touch after a regime turns on.
Optional candle-color filter (green bar for LONG / red bar for SHORT).
Exit signals trigger once the meter revisits the regime boundary.
Optional Neon Glow styling improves visual clarity without clutter.
How to use
Identify regime direction (green = bullish bias, red = bearish bias).
Wait for the first touch into the relevant zone.
Confirm with higher-time-frame structure or volume context.
Manage position or exit once the meter retests its regime limit.
Use it as a context tool, not an auto-entry system.
Originality & Value
This script enforces discipline by allowing only one signal per regime, reducing over-trading and noise. The zone visualization and glow layers offer a clean, cinematic UI consistent with the MILLION MEN visual standard.
Limitations & Transparency
Works best on standard candlesticks and normal-time frames (tested on BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, XAUUSD).
No look-ahead or future data.
Signals are bar-close confirmed (barstate.isconfirmed).
Educational tool — not financial advice.

True Strength Index with Crossovers Alerts🚀 True Strength Index (TSI) with Visual Crossover Alerts
Hey everyone! I’m sharing my customized True Strength Index (TSI) indicator, which I've boosted with clear visual signals and alert conditions based on my personal, high-probability trading strategy.
The True Strength Index is a powerful, oscillation-based momentum indicator that smooths price movements twice using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This double-smoothing process helps to filter out market noise, giving you a much clearer view of momentum changes than basic indicators.
🛠️ How This Script Works
This script focuses on the crucial interaction between the TSI line and its Signal Line:
TSI Line (Blue): Tracks momentum direction and strength.
Signal Line (Red): A simple EMA of the TSI line, used to determine short-term trend shifts.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals:
To make signals impossible to miss, I've added distinct visual markers:
🟢 Green Dot: A "Buy Signal" is plotted at the bottom of the indicator pane when the TSI crosses above the Signal Line (bullish crossover).
🔴 Red Dot: A "Sell Signal" is plotted at the bottom when the TSI crosses below the Signal Line (bearish crossover).
Additionally, I've included named alertconditions so you can set up real-time notifications for these exact crossovers in the TradingView Alert system.
🧠 My Trading Logic: Combining TSI with RSI
I don't use the TSI in isolation. My favorite approach is to use this TSI indicator as a timing tool, but only when it aligns with the overall momentum context defined by the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
This is the key to my strategy:
Bullish Trade Filter: I only take a BUY signal (Green Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bullish territory (above 50).
Bearish Trade Filter: I only take a SELL signal (Red Dot) when my RSI indicator is already in a bearish territory (below 50).
This combination ensures you are trading with the underlying momentum trend, improving the probability of success.
⚙️ My Recommended Custom Settings
For the best results with this strategy, I recommend using the following custom settings. You can enter these values in the "Inputs" tab when adding the indicator to your chart.
1. TSI (Alerts) Settings
Long Length - 60
Higher value for smoother price change data.
Short Length -30
Medium-term smoothing for clearer momentum shifts.
Signal Length - 9
Short length for a responsive signal line.
2. Companion RSI Settings (RSI+)
RSI Length - 150
A long look-back period for highly accurate trend filtering.
MA1 Length - 60
Used for additional smoothing.
MA2 Length - 150
Used for powerful trend confluence.

ADX Trend Color HistogramOverview:
This script provides a visually enhanced version of the classic Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator. Instead of a simple line, it plots the ADX as a histogram, making it easier to gauge trend strength at a glance. The key feature is its dynamic color-coding, which shifts based on the relationship between the Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-), offering immediate insight into market momentum.
Features:
Histogram Style: The ADX value is presented as a histogram for clear, easy-to-read visualization of trend strength.
Dynamic Color-Coding: The histogram bars are colored green when DI+ is greater than DI-, indicating bullish momentum. They turn red when DI- is greater than DI+, signaling bearish momentum.
Customizable Transparency: The default color transparency is set to 80% (20% opacity) for a clean look that doesn't overpower the main chart, but this can be adjusted in the script's color settings.
Built-in Alerts: The script includes configurable alerts that trigger whenever the momentum shifts, i.e., when the color of the histogram changes from red to green or vice-versa. This allows you to stay notified of potential changes in trend direction without constantly watching the chart.
Clean and Simple: The code is well-structured and commented for clarity, making it easy for other PineScripters to understand or modify.
How to Use:
Assess Trend Strength: The height of the histogram bars represents the strength of the current trend. Higher bars suggest a stronger trend (either bullish or bearish), while lower bars indicate a weak or non-trending market.
Identify Momentum Direction: The color of the bars provides a quick guide to the direction of market momentum.
Green Bars: Indicate that the upward momentum is dominant.
Red Bars: Indicate that the downward momentum is dominant.
Use Alerts for Signals: Set up alerts in TradingView based on the "ADX Green" and "ADX Red" conditions to receive notifications for potential entry or exit signals when the momentum shifts. A change from red to green can signal a potential bullish reversal or continuation, while a change from green to red can signal a bearish one.

How It Works
The indicator analyzes price action through four independent validation layers:
Trend Identification: Detects higher highs/lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lows (downtrend)
Momentum Confirmation: Ensures signals align with prevailing momentum
Volatility Analysis: Adapts to changing market conditions using ATR-based thresholds
Signal Validation: Cross-references multiple factors before generating final signals
This multi-factor approach significantly reduces false signals by requiring confirmation from multiple independent analysis methods.
Best Use Cases
Trend Following: Ride major trends from early entry to exhaustion
Breakout Trading: Catch strong momentum moves out of consolidation
Reversal Trading: Identify trend exhaustion and potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Strategies: Confirm lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe trends
Who Should Use This
Day traders seeking reliable trend signals on intraday charts
Swing traders looking for multi-day trend opportunities
Position traders wanting to identify major trend changes
Both beginner and professional traders who value data-driven decision making

CipherThis indicator identifies potential reversal points through volume exhaustion analysis combined with multi-factor confirmation, volume distribution patterns at price extremes, market state classification based on volatility characteristics, and time-weighted probability calculations. Each component reduces false signals that single-factor indicators typically produce.
METHODOLOGY:
The system continuously monitors market conditions across multiple dimensions. When volume patterns indicate potential exhaustion at significant price levels, it checks for alignment with favorable market conditions and statistical probabilities. Signals only generate when multiple factors confirm, with entry triggered on momentum continuation beyond the exhaustion point.
COMPLETE USAGE GUIDE:
Signal Identification:
- "EXH L+2" = Long exhaustion with 2 confirmations
- "EXH S+3" = Short exhaustion with 3 confirmations
- Higher confirmation numbers indicate stronger setups
Entry Execution:
- Dashed lines mark entry trigger levels
- Entry activates when price breaks trigger within specified bar window
- Buffer setting controls distance from exhaustion bar (ticks)
Position Management:
- Automatic stop loss and target levels display on entry
- Green lines = profit targets
- Red lines = stop loss levels
- Info panel shows real-time position status
CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS:
Timing Controls:
- Entry Buffer: 0-5 ticks (momentum confirmation distance)
- Max Bars to Wait: 3-10 bars (entry window duration)
- Session Times: Separate London/New York parameters
Sensitivity Settings:
- Volume Multiplier: 1.5-3.0 (vs 20-bar average)
- Lambda Values: Setup frequency expectations per session
- Stop Distances: Session-specific risk parameters
Risk Controls:
- Daily Win Limit: Stops after profitable day
- Daily Loss Limit: Prevents excessive drawdown
- Maximum Daily Trades: Controls overtrading
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION:
Best Trading Windows:
- 10:00 AM EST: Primary reversal window
- 9:30-9:45 AM EST: Opening range exhaustion
- 3:00-4:00 AM EST: European session setups
- 2:30 PM EST: Afternoon reversal potential
Session Characteristics:
- London (2-9 AM EST): Lower frequency, cleaner setups
- New York (9 AM-4 PM EST): Higher frequency, requires filtering
- Background colors indicate active sessions
RISK PARAMETERS:
- Default Stops: 30-40 ticks (session-dependent)
- Risk:Reward Ratios: 1:1.5 to 1:3 (configurable)
- Trade Frequency: 2-4 quality setups weekly
VISUAL REFERENCE:
- Orange Background: London session active
- Blue Background: New York session active
- Yellow Markers: Exhaustion points identified
- Dashed Lines: Pending entry levels
- Solid Lines: Active trade levels
- Info Table: Statistics and system status
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
This tool identifies potential setups based on rule-based analysis. Traders should understand that no system guarantees profits and should use appropriate risk management. The indicator works best on 3-minute and 5-minute timeframes in liquid markets. Combine with market context and price action understanding for optimal results.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Best suited for index and commodites
- Optimized for 3M and 5M
- Requires volume data for proper function
- Best results with consistent market participation
Smart Moving Average Dynamics [ChartNation]Smart Moving Average Dynamics (SMAD) — by Chart Nation
What it does:
SMAD maps how far price deviates from a chosen moving average and normalizes that distance into a bounded oscillator (−100…+100). It detects extreme expansions and prints non-repainting dots when the move exits an extreme. Price-level rails are drawn from those events (with optional fade/expiry) to highlight likely reaction zones. The MA line is colored by bias. A slim gauge summarizes the current oscillator percentile; a compact info panel shows TF, Trend, Volume rank, and Volatility rank.
How it works (high-level, closed-source)
Core signal: diff = price – MA(type, length) where MA can be SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA/VWMA.
Normalization (choose one):
Highest Abs (N): scales diff by the highest absolute excursion over N bars (fast, adaptive).
Z-Score: scales by stdev(diff, N) and maps ±σ to ±100 via a user factor.
ATR-Scaled: scales by ATR * k, relating deviation to current volatility.
Percent Rank: ranks the magnitude of |diff| over N bars and reapplies the original sign.
All methods clamp to −100…+100 to keep visuals consistent across assets/TFs.
Extremes & confirmation: Dots print only when an extreme exits ±100 (optionally on bar close) and can be filtered by linger bars and short-term slope flip, reducing one-bar spikes.
Rails: When an extreme confirms, a rail is anchored at the corresponding price swing and can soft-fade and/or expire after X bars.
Trend color: MA color = Up (green) when oscillator > threshold and MA slope > 0; Down (magenta) for the opposite; Neutral otherwise.
Context panels:
Slim Gauge: current oscillator bucket (0–20) with the exact normalized reading.
Info Panel: TF, Trend, and 0–100 percent-ranks of Volume and ATR-based volatility grouped as Low / Medium / High.
SMAD isn’t a collection of plots; it’s a single framework that integrates:
a deviation-from-MA engine,
four interchangeable normalization models (selected per market regime),
a gated extreme detector (linger + slope + confirm-on-close), and
time-aware rails with soft fade/expiry, presented with a minimal gauge and info panel so traders can compare regimes across TFs without recalibrating thresholds.
How to use (examples, not signals)
Mean-revert plays: When price exits an extreme and prints a dot, look for reactions near the new rail. Combine with your S/R and risk model.
Trend continuation: In strong trends the oscillator will spend more time above/below zero; the colored MA helps keep you aligned and avoid fading every push.
Regime switching: Try Percent Rank or ATR-Scaled on choppy/alts; Z-Score on majors; Highest Abs (N) when you want fastest adaptation.
Risk ideas: Rails can be used as partial-take or invalidate levels. Always backtest on your pair/TF.
Key settings
Normalization: Highest Abs / Z-Score / ATR-Scaled / Percent Rank (with N & factors).
Filters: Extreme threshold, linger bars, slope lookback, confirm on close.
Rails: Expire after X bars; soft-fade step.
Panels: Slim gauge (bottom-right), Info panel (middle-right).
Notes & limits
Prints confirm after the extreme exits ±100; nothing repaints retroactively.
Normalization can change sensitivity—choose the one matching your asset’s regime.
Relative Rotation - RRG JdK RS-Ratio & RS-MomentumThis indicator calculates the JdK RS-Ratio and RS-Momentum, which form the basis of Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG). It compares the performance of any asset against a benchmark (default: SPY) to identify the current RRG quadrant: LEADING, WEAKENING, LAGGING, or IMPROVING.
The RS-Ratio (red line) and RS-Momentum (green line) are plotted around a baseline of 100. The background color indicates the current quadrant, and an optional feature allows coloring chart candles based on the RRG phase.
Alerts can be configured to notify when the asset transitions between quadrants, helping traders identify rotational shifts in relative strength.
Golden Ladder – Louay Joha (Wave & Gann Hi/Lo + ATR R-Levels)Overview
Golden Ladder is a momentum-and-structure tool that detects three-bar ladder waves and filters them with a Gann Hi/Lo regime guide (SMA-based). When a valid wave aligns with the current Hi/Lo bias and passes optional market filters (ADX, RSI, and proximity to recent extremes), the script prints BUY/SELL n labels (n = wave index) and draws a complete Entry / SL / TP1–TP4 ladder using ATR-based risk units (R) or fixed caps—configured for clarity and consistency. The script also keeps the chart clean: the last trade remains fully drawn while historical groups are trimmed to compact “ENTRY-only” stubs.
Why these components together (originality)
Three-bar ladder captures short-term momentum structure (progressively higher highs/lows for buys; the reverse for sells).
Gann Hi/Lo (SMA of highs/lows with a directional state) acts as a regime filter, reducing counter-trend ladders.
ATR-based R ladder turns signals into an actionable plan: a volatility-aware SL and TP1–TP4 that scale across instruments/timeframes.
Smart Entry filters (ADX strength, RSI extremes, and distance from recent top/bottom using ATR buffers) seek to avoid low-quality, stretched entries.
Slim history keeps only a short ENTRY stub for prior groups, so the signal you just got is always the most readable.
This is not a mere mashup; each layer constrains the others to produce fewer, clearer setups.
How it works (high-level logic)
Regime (Gann Hi/Lo):
Compute SMA(high, HPeriod) and SMA(low, LPeriod).
Direction state HLv flips when the close crosses above/below its track; one unified Hi/Lo guide is plotted.
Ladder signal (structure + confirmation):
BUY ladder: three consecutive green bars with rising highs and rising lows and HLv == +1.
SELL ladder: mirror conditions with HLv == -1.
Signals evaluate intrabar and are controlled by Smart Entry filters (ADX/RSI/extreme checks).
Risk ladder (R-based or capped):
Default: risk = ATR(atr_len) × SL_multiple and TPs in R.
Optional fixed caps by timeframe (e.g., M1/M5) using USD per point.
Longs: SL = entry – risk; TPi = entry + (Ri × risk).
Shorts: SL = entry + risk; TPi = entry – (Ri × risk).
All levels auto-reflow to the right as bars print.
Chart hygiene:
The latest trade shows ENTRY/SL/TP1–TP4 fully.
Older trades are automatically trimmed (only a short ENTRY line remains, with optional label).
Alerts:
BUY – Smart Entry (Tick) & SELL – Smart Entry (Tick) fire on live-qualified signals.
You can connect alerts to your automation, respecting your broker’s risk controls.
Inputs (English summary of UI)
Label settings: label size; ATR-based vs fixed-tick offsets; leader line width/transparency; horizontal label shift.
Gann Hi/Lo: HIGH Period (HPeriod), LOW Period (LPeriod).
Market filters: ADX (length, smoothing, minimum), RSI (length + caps), recent extremes (lookback + ATR buffer).
Entry/SL/TP Levels: TP1–TP4 (R), label right-shift, show last-trade prices on labels.
Fixed SL Caps: per-timeframe caps (M1/M5) via USD per point.
How to use
Apply on your instrument/timeframe; tune H/L periods and filters to your market (e.g., XAUUSD on M1/M5).
Favor signals aligned with the Hi/Lo regime; tighten filters (higher ADX, stricter RSI caps) to reduce noise.
Choose ATR-Risk or fixed caps depending on your preferences.
The drawing policy ensures the most recent trade remains front-and-center.
Notes & limitations
Signals can evaluate intrabar; MA-based context is inherently lagging.
ATR-based ladders adapt to volatility; extreme spikes can widen risk.

Composite Buy/Sell Score [-100 to +100] by LMComposite Buy/Sell Score (Stabilized + Sensitivity) by LM
Description:
This indicator calculates a composite trend strength score ranging from -100 to +100 by combining multiple popular technical indicators into a single, smoothed metric. It is designed to give traders a clear view of bullish and bearish trends, while filtering out short-term noise.
The score incorporates signals from:
PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) – measures momentum via the difference between fast and slow EMAs.
ADX (Average Directional Index) – detects trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) – identifies short-term momentum swings.
Stochastic RSI – measures RSI momentum and speed of change.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) – detects momentum shifts using EMA crossovers.
Williams %R – highlights overbought/oversold conditions.
Each component is weighted, smoothed, and optionally confirmed across a configurable number of bars, producing a stabilized composite score that reacts more reliably to significant trend changes.
Key Features:
Smoothed Composite Score
The final score is smoothed using an EMA to reduce volatility and emphasize meaningful trends.
A Sensitivity Multiplier allows traders to exaggerate the score for stronger trend signals or dampen it for quieter markets.
Customizable Inputs
You can adjust each indicator’s parameters, smoothing lengths, and confirm bars to suit your preferred timeframe and trading style.
The sensitivity multiplier allows fine-tuning the responsiveness of the trend line without changing underlying indicator calculations.
Visual Representation
Score Line: Green for positive (bullish) trends, red for negative (bearish) trends, gray near neutral.
Reference Lines:
0 = neutral
+100 = maximum bullish
-100 = maximum bearish
Adaptive Background: Optionally highlights the background intensity proportional to trend strength. Strong green for bullish trends, strong red for bearish trends.
Multi-Indicator Integration
Combines momentum, trend, and overbought/oversold signals into a single metric.
Helps identify clear entry/exit trends while avoiding whipsaw noise common in individual indicators.
Recommended Use:
Trend Identification: Look for sustained movement above 0 for bullish trends and below 0 for bearish trends.
Exaggerated Trends: Use the Sensitivity Multiplier to emphasize strong trends.
Filtering Noise: The smoothed score and confirmBars settings help reduce false signals from minor price fluctuations.
Inputs Overview:
Input Purpose
PPO Fast EMA / Slow EMA / Signal Controls PPO momentum sensitivity
ADX Length / Threshold Detects trend strength
RSI Length / Overbought / Oversold Measures short-term momentum
Stoch RSI Length / %K / %D Measures speed of RSI changes
MACD Fast / Slow / Signal Measures momentum crossover
Williams %R Length Detects overbought/oversold conditions
Final Score Smoothing Length EMA smoothing for final composite score
Confirm Bars for Each Signal Number of bars used to confirm individual indicator signals
Sensitivity Multiplier Scales the final composite score for exaggerated trend response
Highlight Background by Trend Strength Enables adaptive background coloring
This indicator is suitable for traders looking for a single, clear trend metric derived from multiple indicators. It can be applied to any timeframe and can help identify both strong and emerging trends in the market.
[AS] MACD-v & Hist [Alex Spiroglou | S.M.A.R.T. TRADER SYSTEMS] MACD-v & MACD-v Histogram
=======================================
Volatility Normalised Momentum 📈
Twice Awarded Indicator 🏆
=======================================
=======================================
✅ 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE MACD-v ✅
=======================================
I created the MACD-v in 2015,
as a way to deal with the limitations
of well known indicators like the Stochastic, RSI, MACD.
I decided to publicly share a very small part of my research
in the form of a research paper I wrote in 2022,
titled "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum".
That paper was awarded twice:
1. The "Charles H. Dow" Award (2022),
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
by the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
2. The "Founders" Award (2022),
for advances in Active Investment Management,
by the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM)
=======================================
===================================================
❌ 2. WHY CREATE THE MACD-v ?
THE LIMITATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL MOMENTUM INDICATORS
====================================================
Technical Analysis indicators focused on momentum,
come in two general categories,
each with its own set of limitations:
(i) Range Bound Oscillators (RSI, Stochastics, etc)
These usually have a scaling of 0-100,
and thus have the advantage of having normalised readings,
that are comparable across time and securities.
However they have the following limitations (among others):
1. Skewing effect of steep trends
2. Indicator values do not adjust with and reflect true momentum
(indicator values are capped to 100)
(ii) Unbound Oscillators (MACD, RoC, etc)
These are boundless indicators,
and can expand with the market,
without being limited by a 0-100 scaling,
and thus have the advantage of really measuring momentum.
They have the main following limitations (among others):
1. Subjectivity of overbought / oversold levels
2. Not comparable across time
3. Not comparable across securities
=======================================
=======================================
💡 3. THE SOLUTION TO SOLVE THESE LIMITATIONS
=======================================
In order to deal with these limitations,
I decided to create an indicator,
that would be the "Best of two worlds".
A unique & hybrid indicator,
that would have objective normalised readings
(similar to Range Bound Oscillators - RSI)
but would also be able to have no upper/lower boundaries
(similar to Unbound Oscillators - MACD).
This would be achieved by "normalising" a boundless oscillator (MACD)
=======================================
==================================================
⛔ 4. DEEP DIVE INTO THE 5 LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD
==================================================
A Bloomberg study found that the MACD
is the most popular indicator after the RSI,
but the MACD has 5 BIG limitations.
Limitation 1: MACD values are not comparable across Time
The raw MACD values shift
as the underlying security's absolute value changes across time,
making historical comparisons obsolete
e.g S&P 500 maximum MACD was 1.56 in 1957-1971,
but reached 86.31 in 2019-2021 - not indicating 55x stronger momentum,
but simply different price levels.
Limitation 2: MACD values are not comparable across Assets
Traditional MACD cannot compare momentum between different assets.
S&P 500 MACD of 65 versus EUR/USD MACD of -0.5
reflects absolute price differences, not momentum differences
Limitation 3: MACD values cannot be Systematically Classified
Due to limitations #1 & #2, it is not possible to create
a momentum level classification scale
where one can define "fast", "slow", "overbought", "oversold" momentum
making systematic analysis impossible
Limitation 4: MACD Signal Line gives false crossovers in low-momentum ranges
In range-bound, low momentum environments,
most of the MACD signal line crossovers are false (noise)
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is low
Limitation 5: MACD Signal Line gives late crossovers in high momentum regimes.
Signal lag in strong trends not good at timing the turning point
— In high-momentum moves, MACD crossovers may come late.
Since there is no objective momentum classification system (limitation #3),
it is not possible to filter these signals out,
by avoiding them when momentum is high
===================================================================
===================================================================
🏆 5. MACD-v : THE SOLUTION TO THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MACD , RSI, etc
====================================================================
MACD-v is a volatility normalised momentum indicator.
It remedies these 5 limitations of the classic MACD,
while creating a tool with unique properties.
Formula: × 100
MACD-V enhances the classic MACD by normalizing for volatility,
transforming price-dependent readings into standardized momentum values.
This resolves key limitations of traditional MACD and adds significant analytical power.
Core Advantages of MACD-V
Advantage 1: Time-Based Stability
MACD-V values are consistent and comparable over time.
A reading of 100 has the same meaning today as it did in the past
(unlike traditional MACD which is influenced by changes in price and volatility over time)
Advantage 2: Cross-Market Comparability
MACD-V provides universal scaling.
Readings (e.g., ±50) apply consistently across all asset classes—stocks,
bonds, commodities, or currencies,
allowing traders to compare momentum across markets reliably.
Advantage 3: Objective Momentum Classification
MACD-V includes a defined 5-range momentum lifecycle
with standardized thresholds (e.g., -150 to +150).
This offers an objective framework for analyzing market conditions
and supports integration with broader models.
Advantage 4: False Signal Reduction in Low-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V introduces a "neutral zone" (typically -50 to +50)
to filter out these low-probability signals.
Advantage 5: Improved Signal Timing in High-Momentum Regimes
MACD-V identifies extremely strong trends,
allowing for more precise entry and exit points.
Advantage 6: Trend-Adaptive Scaling
Unlike bounded oscillators like RSI or Stochastic,
MACD-V dynamically expands with trend strength,
providing clearer momentum insights without artificial limits.
Advantage 7: Enhanced Divergence Detection
MACD-V offers more reliable divergence signals
by avoiding distortion at extreme levels,
a common flaw in bounded indicators (RSI, etc)
====================================================================
=======================================
⚒️ 5. HOW TO USE THE MACD-v: 7 CORE PATTERNS
HOW TO USE THE MACD-v Histogram: 2 CORE PATTERNS
=======================================
>>>>>> BASIC USE (RANGE RULES) <<<<<<
The MACD-v has 7 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk Range (Overbought)
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +150
Interpretation: Extremely strong bullish momentum—potential exhaustion or reversal zone.
2. Retracing
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V > -50
Interpretation: Mild pullback within a bullish trend.
3. Rundown
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and -50 > MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Momentum is weakening—bearish pressure building.
4. Risk Range (Oversold)
Condition: MACD-V < Signal Line and MACD-V < -150
Interpretation: Extreme bearish momentum—potential for reversal or capitulation.
5. Rebounding
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > -150
Interpretation: Bullish recovery from oversold or weak conditions.
6. Rallying
Condition: MACD-V > Signal Line and MACD-V > +50
Interpretation: Strengthening bullish trend—momentum accelerating.
7. Ranging (Neutral Zone)
Condition: MACD-V remains between -50 and +50 for 20+ bars
Interpretation: Sideways market—low conviction and momentum.
The MACD-v Histogram has 2 Core Patterns (Ranges) :
1. Risk (Overbought)
Condition: Histogram > +40
Interpretation: Short-term bullish momentum is stretched—possible overextension or reversal risk.
2. Risk (Oversold)
Condition: Histogram < -40
Interpretation: Short-term bearish momentum is stretched—potential for rebound or reversal.
=======================================
=======================================
📈 6. ADVANCED PATTERNS WITH MACD-v
=======================================
Thanks to its volatility normalization,
the MACD-V framework enables the development
of a wide range of advanced pattern recognition setups,
trading signals, and strategic models.
These patterns go beyond basic crossovers,
offering deeper insight into momentum structure,
regime shifts, and high-probability trade setups.

MILLION MEN - MatrixWhat it is
MILLION MEN – Matrix is a confluence tool that blends a multi-horizon directional heatmap (10→120 windows, LinReg/Slope) with a refined VZO-style volume oscillator to highlight accumulation vs. overbought regimes and print concise BUY/SELL labels only when both sides align. It’s designed for visual clarity and discretionary workflows—not a black-box signal engine.
How it works (high level)
Directional heatmap: 12 windows (10..120). Counts positive vs. negative slopes.
Accumulation zone: negCnt ≥ threshold (default 12-level threshold).
Overbought zone: posCnt ≥ threshold.
Optional bar coloring with transparency.
VZO-style engine: volume direction via price delta, linear-regression normalization, optional smoothing/noise filter, and explicit repaint toggle for intrabar responsiveness.
Confluence signals:
BUY when heatmap = accumulation and VZO makes a bullish triangle (crossover from below a lower band).
SELL when heatmap = overbought and VZO makes a bearish triangle (crossunder from above an upper band).
Quality-of-life: a cyan CONFOR dot marks “green→neutral + bullish body” near recent BUY; a compact profit panel tracks entry, live/max %, TP1/TP2/TP3 stamps, and a special Exit 100% event.
How to use
Treat signals as contextual prompts. Accumulation+VZO upturn hints at potential mean-reversion/expansion; Overbought+VZO downturn warns of exhaustion. Calibrate: heatmap threshold, VZO length/bands, smoothing/noise, and the repaint setting (on = faster intrabar feedback; off = close-confirmed).
Originality & value
Instead of a simple mashup, Matrix enforces dual confirmation: breadth across 12 directional windows plus a normalized volume-pressure oscillator. The result is a stable, readable regime map with minimal labels and a built-in progress panel—useful as a primary bias filter or an add-on to your setups.
Tested markets
Primarily tested on Gold (XAUUSD) and major crypto assets (BTC, XRP, ETH, BNB, LTC).
Behavior on other symbols may vary—validate before use.
Designed for analysis on the Daily timeframe (1D). Non-standard chart types are not supported for
Limitations & transparency
Strong trends can keep regimes extended; add structure/HTF/volume confirmation.
Repaint option can change intrabar labels; use close-confirmed mode if you prefer stability.
Non-standard bar types aren’t supported for signal logic.
No future data is used. This is not financial advice.

MILLION MEN - Greed Fear MatrixWhat it is
MILLION MEN — Greed Fear Matrix is a sentiment oscillator based on a Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) core with optional smart percentile levels, an EMA signal line, HTF filter, histogram, and lightweight emoji markers for tops/bottoms/warnings. It’s a context tool, not a buy/sell signal generator.
How it works
SMI core: computes SMI (K/D smoothing + signal EMA).
Levels: choose fixed Greed/Fear bands or Smart Levels (percentiles over a configurable lookback).
Fills & histogram: shaded regions above/below bands; histogram = SMI − Signal.
HTF filter (optional): confirm bias via higher timeframe (midline or signal rule).
Emoji pivots & lite divergence: labels at SMI pivots beyond bands; simple price/SMI divergence on the last two pivots.
How to use
Greed zone suggests crowd chasing / potential exhaustion; Fear zone suggests panic/liquidity pockets.
Use crossings (SMI vs bands / SMI vs Signal) and HTF bias as confluence, not standalone entries.
Tune percentile thresholds, lookback, and HTF timeframe to your market and style.
Originality & value
Unlike standard SMI/RSI overlays, this matrix adds percentile-driven adaptive levels, HTF validation, and on-chart context (fills/emoji/mini-divergence) to keep sentiment readable across regimes while staying lightweight and non-repainting.
Tested markets
Primarily tested on Gold (XAUUSD) . Behavior on other markets may vary; validate before use.
Limitations
Extremes can persist in strong trends; always add structure/volume confirmation.
Non-standard chart types aren’t supported for signal logic.

Historical Matrix Analyzer [PhenLabs]📊Historical Matrix Analyzer
Version: PineScriptv6
📌Description
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is an advanced probabilistic trading tool that transforms technical analysis into a data-driven decision support system. By creating a comprehensive 56-cell matrix that tracks every combination of RSI states and multi-indicator conditions, this indicator reveals which market patterns have historically led to profitable outcomes and which have not.
At its core, the indicator continuously monitors seven distinct RSI states (ranging from Extreme Oversold to Extreme Overbought) and eight unique indicator combinations (MACD direction, volume levels, and price momentum). For each of these 56 possible market states, the system calculates average forward returns, win rates, and occurrence counts based on your configurable lookback period. The result is a color-coded probability matrix that shows you exactly where you stand in the historical performance landscape.
The standout feature is the Current State Panel, which provides instant clarity on your active market conditions. This panel displays signal strength classifications (from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish), the average return percentage for similar past occurrences, an estimated win rate using Bayesian smoothing to prevent small-sample distortions, and a confidence level indicator that warns you when insufficient data exists for reliable conclusions.

📖Usage Guidelines
RSI Period
Default: 14
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Controls the lookback period for RSI momentum calculation. Standard 14-period provides widely-recognized overbought/oversold levels. Decrease for faster, more sensitive RSI reactions suitable for scalping. Increase (21, 28) for smoother, longer-term momentum assessment in swing trading. Changes affect how quickly the indicator moves between the 7 RSI state classifications.
MACD Fast Length
Default: 12
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Sets the faster exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Standard 12-period setting works well for daily charts and captures short-term momentum shifts. Decreasing creates more responsive MACD crossovers but increases false signals. Increasing smooths out noise but delays signal generation, affecting the bullish/bearish indicator state classification.
MACD Slow Length
Default: 26
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Defines the slower exponential moving average for MACD calculation. Traditional 26-period setting balances trend identification with responsiveness. Must be greater than Fast Length. Wider spread between fast and slow increases MACD sensitivity to trend changes, impacting the frequency of indicator state transitions in the matrix.
MACD Signal Length
Default: 9
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Smoothing period for the MACD signal line that triggers bullish/bearish state changes. Standard 9-period provides reliable crossover signals. Shorter values create more frequent state changes and earlier signals but with more whipsaws. Longer values produce more confirmed, stable signals but with increased lag in detecting momentum shifts.
Volume MA Period
Default: 20
Range: 1 to unlimited
Description: Lookback period for volume moving average used to classify volume as “high” or “low” in indicator state combinations. 20-period default captures typical monthly trading patterns. Shorter periods (10-15) make volume classification more reactive to recent spikes. Longer periods (30-50) require more sustained volume changes to trigger state classification shifts.
Statistics Lookback Period
Default: 200
Range: 50 to 500
Description: Number of historical bars used to calculate matrix statistics. 200 bars provides substantial data for reliable patterns while remaining responsive to regime changes. Lower values (50-100) emphasize recent market behavior and adapt quickly but may produce volatile statistics. Higher values (300-500) capture long-term patterns with stable statistics but slower adaptation to changing market dynamics.
Forward Performance Bars
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Number of bars ahead used to calculate forward returns from each historical state occurrence. 5-bar default suits intraday to short-term swing trading (5 hours on hourly charts, 1 week on daily charts). Lower values (1-3) target short-term momentum trades. Higher values (10-20) align with position trading and longer-term pattern exploitation.
Color Intensity Sensitivity
Default: 2.0
Range: 0.5 to 5.0, step 0.5
Description: Amplifies or dampens the color intensity response to average return magnitudes in the matrix heat map. 2.0 default provides balanced visual emphasis. Lower values (0.5-1.0) create subtle coloring requiring larger returns for full saturation, useful for volatile instruments. Higher values (3.0-5.0) produce vivid colors from smaller returns, highlighting subtle edges in range-bound markets.
Minimum Occurrences for Coloring
Default: 3
Range: 1 to 10
Description: Required minimum sample size before applying color-coded performance to matrix cells. Cells with fewer occurrences display gray “insufficient data” warning. 3-occurrence default filters out rare patterns. Lower threshold (1-2) shows more data but includes unreliable single-event statistics. Higher thresholds (5-10) ensure only well-established patterns receive visual emphasis.
Table Position
Default: top_right
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the 56-cell statistics matrix table. Position to avoid overlapping critical price action or other indicators on your chart. Consider chart orientation and candlestick density when selecting optimal placement.
Show Current State Panel
Default: true
Options: true, false
Description: Toggle visibility of the dedicated current state information panel. When enabled, displays signal strength, RSI value, indicator status, average return, estimated win rate, and confidence level for active market conditions. Disable to declutter charts when only the matrix table is needed.
Info Panel Position
Default: bottom_left
Options: top_left, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_right
Description: Screen location for the current state information panel (when enabled). Position independently from statistics matrix to optimize chart real estate. Typically placed opposite the matrix table for balanced visual layout.
Win Rate Smoothing Strength
Default: 5
Range: 1 to 20
Description: Controls Bayesian prior weighting for estimated win rate calculations. Acts as virtual sample size assuming 50% win rate baseline. Default 5 provides moderate smoothing preventing extreme win rate estimates from small samples. Lower values (1-3) reduce smoothing effect, allowing win rates to reflect raw data more directly. Higher values (10-20) increase conservatism, pulling win rate estimates toward 50% until substantial evidence accumulates.
✅Best Use Cases
Pattern-based discretionary trading where you want historical confirmation before entering setups that “look good” based on current technical alignment
Swing trading with holding periods matching your forward performance bar setting, using high-confidence bullish cells as entry filters
Risk assessment and position sizing, allocating larger size to trades originating from cells with strong positive average returns and high estimated win rates
Market regime identification by observing which RSI states and indicator combinations are currently producing the most reliable historical patterns
Backtesting validation by comparing your manual strategy signals against the historical performance of the corresponding matrix cells
Educational tool for developing intuition about which technical condition combinations have actually worked versus those that feel right but lack historical evidence
⚠️Limitations
Historical patterns do not guarantee future performance, especially during unprecedented market events or regime changes not represented in the lookback period
Small sample sizes (low occurrence counts) produce unreliable statistics despite Bayesian smoothing, requiring caution when acting on low-confidence cells
Matrix statistics lag behind rapidly changing market conditions, as the lookback period must accumulate new state occurrences before updating performance data
Forward return calculations use fixed bar periods that may not align with actual trade exit timing, support/resistance levels, or volatility-adjusted profit targets
💡What Makes This Unique
Multi-Dimensional State Space: Unlike single-indicator tools, simultaneously tracks 56 distinct market condition combinations providing granular pattern resolution unavailable in traditional technical analysis
Bayesian Statistical Rigor: Implements proper probabilistic smoothing to prevent overconfidence from limited data, a critical feature missing from most pattern recognition tools
Real-Time Contextual Feedback: The “NOW” marker and dedicated info panel instantly connect current market conditions to their historical performance profile, eliminating guesswork
Transparent Occurrence Counts: Displays sample sizes directly in each cell, allowing traders to judge statistical reliability themselves rather than hiding data quality issues
Fully Customizable Analysis Window: Complete control over lookback depth and forward return horizons lets traders align the tool precisely with their trading timeframe and strategy requirements
🔬How It Works
1. State Classification and Encoding
Each bar’s RSI value is evaluated and assigned to one of 7 discrete states based on threshold levels (0: <20, 1: 20-30, 2: 30-40, 3: 40-60, 4: 60-70, 5: 70-80, 6: >80)
Simultaneously, three binary conditions are evaluated: MACD line position relative to signal line, current volume relative to its moving average, and current close relative to previous close
These three binary conditions are combined into a single indicator state integer (0-7) using binary encoding, creating 8 possible indicator combinations
The RSI state and indicator state are stored together, defining one of 56 possible market condition cells in the matrix
2. Historical Data Accumulation
As each bar completes, the current state classification, closing price, and bar index are stored in rolling arrays maintained at the size specified by the lookback period
When the arrays reach capacity, the oldest data point is removed and the newest added, creating a sliding historical window
This continuous process builds a comprehensive database of past market conditions and their subsequent price movements
3. Forward Return Calculation and Statistics Update
On each bar, the indicator looks back through the stored historical data to find bars where sufficient forward bars exist to measure outcomes
For each historical occurrence, the price change from that bar to the bar N periods ahead (where N is the forward performance bars setting) is calculated as a percentage return
This percentage return is added to the cumulative return total for the specific matrix cell corresponding to that historical bar’s state classification
Occurrence counts are incremented, and wins are tallied for positive returns, building comprehensive statistics for each of the 56 cells
The Bayesian smoothing formula combines these raw statistics with prior assumptions (neutral 50% win rate) weighted by the smoothing strength parameter to produce estimated win rates that remain stable even with small samples
💡Note:
The Historical Matrix Analyzer is designed as a decision support tool, not a standalone trading system. Best results come from using it to validate discretionary trade ideas or filter systematic strategy signals. Always combine matrix insights with proper risk management, position sizing rules, and awareness of broader market context. The estimated win rate feature uses Bayesian statistics specifically to prevent false confidence from limited data, but no amount of smoothing can create reliable predictions from fundamentally insufficient sample sizes. Focus on high-confidence cells (green-colored confidence indicators) with occurrence counts well above your minimum threshold for the most actionable insights.
