Polyphase MACD (PMACD)The Polyphase MACD (PMACD) uses polyphase decimation to create a continuous estimate of higher timeframe MACD behavior. The number of phases represents the timeframe multiplier - for example, 3 phases approximates a 3x higher timeframe.
Traditional higher timeframe MACD indicators update only when each higher timeframe bar completes, creating stepped signals that can miss intermediate price action. The PMACD addresses this by maintaining multiple phase-shifted MACD calculations and combining them with appropriate anti-aliasing filters. This approach eliminates the discrete jumps typically seen in higher timeframe indicators, though the resulting signal may sometimes deviate from the true higher timeframe values due to its estimative nature.
The indicator processes price data through parallel phase calculations, each analyzing a different time-offset subset of the data. These phases are filtered and combined to prevent aliasing artifacts that occur in simple timeframe conversions. The result is a smooth, continuous signal that begins providing meaningful values immediately, without requiring a warm-up period of higher timeframe bars.
The PMACD maintains the standard MACD components - the MACD line (fast MA - slow MA), signal line, and histogram - while providing a more continuous view of higher timeframe momentum. Users can select between EMA and SMA calculations for both the oscillator and signal components, with all calculations benefiting from the same polyphase processing technique.
Polyphase Stochastic RSI (PSRSI)The Polyphase Stochastic RSI (PSRSI) provides a continuous estimate of higher timeframe Stochastic RSI behavior by using polyphase decimation. The number of phases represents the timeframe multiplier - for example, 3 phases approximates a 3x higher timeframe.
While traditional higher timeframe indicators only update at the completion of each higher timeframe bar, the PSRSI creates a continuous signal by maintaining multiple phase-shifted calculations and combining them with appropriate anti-aliasing filters. This approach eliminates the gaps and discontinuities typically seen in higher timeframe indicators, though the resulting signal may sometimes deviate from the true higher timeframe values due to its estimative nature.
The indicator processes data through parallel phase calculations, each handling a different subset of price data offset in time. These phases are then filtered and combined to prevent aliasing artifacts that occur in simple timeframe conversions. The result is a smooth, continuous signal that starts providing meaningful values immediately, without requiring a warm-up period of higher timeframe bars.
Users can choose between RSI and Stochastic RSI modes, with both benefiting from the same polyphase processing technique. The indicator maintains the standard interpretation of overbought and oversold conditions while providing a more continuous view of higher timeframe momentum.
Moving Average Cross; Linear RegressionThis Pine Script is designed to display smoothed linear regression lines on a chart, with an option to adjust the regression period lengths and smoothing factor. The script calculates short-term and long-term linear regression lines based on the selected timeframe. These regression lines act as a regressed moving average cross , visually representing the interaction between the two smoothed linear regressions.
Short Regression Line: A linear regression line based on a short lookback period, colored blue for an uptrend and orange for a downtrend .
Long Regression Line: A linear regression line based on a longer lookback period, similarly colored blue for an uptrend and orange for a downtrend .
The script provides input options to adjust:
The length of short and long regression periods.
The smoothing length for the regression lines.
The timeframe for the linear regression calculations.
This tool can help traders observe the crossovers between the two smoothed linear regression lines, which are similar to moving average crossovers, but with the added benefit of regression-based smoothing to reduce noise. The color-coding allows for easy trend identification, with blue indicating an uptrend and orange indicating a downtrend.

Trend Strength/DirectionThis is a really good, though complex indicator, so I will add two different explanations so to appease both the laymen and those who take the time to read thoroughly.
Simple Explanation
This indicator utilizes 6HMA's to display their angles
The greater the angle ---> the stronger the trend
If more angles are positive, then trend is very strong
If more are negative, then very negative
Comprehensive Explanation
6 angles, each of a different time frame are used to represent direction and trend strength. Angles are used because they intrinsically represent momentum and speed. An angle of 45 represents a perfect balance between something that can cover the furthest distance without compensating for speed. 1 of the 6 angles is intended(though customizable) to represent the 5 hma's angle. This is because the 5hma is very good at representing very near term price action.
Angle Levels
Its important to understand what the angle levels mean for the underlying hma's. The 0 level represents a hma that is horizontal. This is important because this is the point at which it decides to be bullish or bearish. +/- 45, as noted before, represent bullishness/bearishness that represent strong trends without compensating for speed. A continuous increase/decrease and or a cross of these levels generally indicate significant change in sentiment, of which trades may be taken.
Strategy
You should weigh your decision by those angles that represent the longer time frame. If more angles represent a certain sentiment, it is obviously unwise to fight against that long term sentiment. The purpose of this indicator was to provide a proper representation of trend direction and strength, but also solve the problem of when you should 'dip' buy.
For an example: if all angles are increase or decreasing, then you may use the 5hma's angle to find the proper points at which you will enter a position.
***NOTE: I dont think the +/- 45 bands should indicate 'overbought' or 'oversold' zones that some might assume. Instead you should wait for a crossing of this zone.
InspireHER Dynamic EMA RR Positioning IndicatorDynamic EMA and RR Positioning Indicator
This indicator is designed to provide traders with highly customizable buy and sell signals based on EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers and Risk-to-Reward (RR) ratios. It works on any timeframe and allows users to toggle price data and additional position boxes for visualizing trade setups. Additionally, traders can choose between displaying dots or labeled signals for buy/sell indicators, making this tool versatile and user-friendly for different preferences and strategies.

Period Separator & Candle OHLCThis script combines two powerful tools for traders: period separators and custom timeframe-based OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data visualization. Here's what it does:
Period Separators:
The script draws vertical lines to indicate the start of new time periods based on a user-defined timeframe (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
Users can customize the separator color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width to suit their preferences.
Fetches OHLC data from a higher or custom timeframe (e.g., 4 hours) and overlays it on the current chart.
Users can choose to display the open, high, low, and close prices as dots or circles for easy visualization.
Optionally, the open and close dots can be visually connected with a filled bar for a candlestick-like effect.
The script color-codes the close price relative to the open (green if higher, red if lower) to highlight price direction at a glance.
Fully Customizable:
Users have full control over which OHLC values to display and whether the dots should be filled.
Transparency settings for plotted dots and fills are also adjustable for optimal visibility on different chart styles.
How It Is Useful for Trading:
Timeframe Analysis:
The period separators make it easy to distinguish trading activity across custom time intervals. This is crucial for intraday, swing, and long-term traders who analyze price movements within specific periods.
Multi-Timeframe Insights:
By overlaying OHLC data from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe chart, traders can identify key support and resistance levels, pivots, and trends that are not immediately visible on the current timeframe.
Trend Recognition:
The color-coded close dots (green for bullish, red for bearish) provide an instant visual cue of market sentiment, helping traders confirm or refute their bias.
Whether you're a scalper, day trader, or position trader, the flexibility in timeframe selection, styling, and data presentation ensures this tool can adapt to your trading strategy.
Force Volume GradientThis Pine Script is a technical indicator designed for trading platforms, specifically TradingView. It plots the Force Volume Gradient (FVG) and generates buy/sell signals based on the crossover of the FVG line and a signal line.
Key Components:
Force Index: Calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of the product of the close price and volume.
Force Volume Gradient (FVG): Calculates the EMA of the Force Index.
Signal Line: A simple moving average (SMA) of the FVG.
Buy/Sell Signals: Generated when the FVG line crosses above/below the signal line.
How it Works:
The script calculates the Force Index, which measures the amount of energy or "force" behind price movements.
The FVG is then calculated by applying an EMA to the Force Index, smoothing out the values.
The signal line is a SMA of the FVG, providing a benchmark for buy/sell signals.
When the FVG line crosses above the signal line, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the FVG line crosses below the signal line, a sell signal is generated.
Trading Strategy:
This script can be used as a momentum indicator to identify potential buying or selling opportunities. Traders can use the buy/sell signals as entry/exit points, or combine the FVG with other indicators to create a more comprehensive trading strategy.
Customization:
Users can adjust the input parameters, such as the length of the Force Index and signal line, to suit their individual trading preferences.

Heat Map Trend (VIDYA MA) [BigBeluga]The Heat Map Trend (VIDYA MA) - BigBeluga indicator is a multi-timeframe trend detection tool based on the Volumetric Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA). This indicator calculates trends using volume momentum, or volatility if volume data is unavailable, and displays the trends across five customizable timeframes. It features a heat map to visualize trends, color-coded candles based on an average of the five timeframes, and a dashboard that shows the current trend direction for each timeframe. This tool helps traders identify trends while minimizing market noise and is particularly useful in detecting faster market changes in shorter timeframes.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Volumetric Variable Index Dynamic Average (VIDYA):
The core of the indicator is the VIDYA moving average, which adjusts dynamically based on volume momentum. If volume data isn't available, the indicator uses volatility instead to smooth the moving average. This allows traders to assess the trend direction with more accuracy, using either volume or volatility, if volume data is not provided, as the basis for the trend calculation.
// VIDYA CALCULATION -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// ATR (Average True Range) and volume calculation
bool volume_check = ta.cum(volume) <= 0
float atrVal = ta.atr(1)
float volVal = volume_check ? atrVal : volume // Use ATR if volume is not available
// @function: Calculate the VIDYA (Volumetric Variable Index Dynamic Average)
vidya(src, len, cmoLen) =>
float cmoVal = ta.sma(ta.cmo(volVal, cmoLen), 10) // Calculate the CMO and smooth it with an SMA
float absCmo = math.abs(cmoVal) // Absolute value of CMO
float alpha = 2 / (len + 1) // Alpha factor for smoothing
var float vidyaVal = 0.0 // Initialize VIDYA
vidyaVal := alpha * absCmo / 100 * src + (1 - alpha * absCmo / 100) * nz(vidyaVal ) // VIDYA formula
◉ Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis with Heat Map Visualization:
The indicator calculates VIDYA across five customizable timeframes, allowing traders to analyze trends from multiple perspectives. The resulting trends are displayed as a heat map below the chart, where each timeframe is represented by a gradient color. The color intensity reflects the distance of the moving average (VIDYA) from the price, helping traders to identify trends on different timeframes visually. Shorter timeframes in the heat map are particularly useful for detecting faster market changes, while longer timeframes help to smooth out market noise and highlight the general trend.
Trend Direction:
Heat Map Reading:
◉ Dashboard for Multi-Timeframe Trend Directions:
The built-in dashboard displays the trend direction for each of the five timeframes, showing whether the trend is up or down. This quick overview provides traders with valuable insights into the current market conditions across multiple timeframes, helping them to assess whether the market is aligned or if there are conflicting trends. This allows for more informed decisions, especially during volatile periods.
◉ Color-Coded Candles Based on Multi-Timeframe Averages:
Candles are dynamically colored based on the average of the VIDYA across all five timeframes. When the price is in an uptrend, the candles are colored blue, while in a downtrend, they are colored red. If the VIDYA averages suggest a possible trend shift, the candles are displayed in orange to highlight a potential change in momentum. This color coding simplifies the process of identifying the dominant trend and spotting potential reversals.
BTC:
SP500:
◉ UP and DOWN Signals for Trend Direction Changes:
The indicator provides clear UP and DOWN signals to mark trend direction changes. When the average VIDYA crosses above a certain threshold, an UP signal is plotted, indicating a shift to an uptrend. Conversely, when it crosses below, a DOWN signal is shown, highlighting a transition to a downtrend. These signals help traders to quickly identify shifts in market direction and respond accordingly.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
VIDYA Length and Momentum Settings:
Adjust the length of the VIDYA moving average and the period for calculating volume momentum. These settings allow you to fine-tune how sensitive the indicator is to market changes, helping to match it with your preferred trading style.
Timeframe Selection:
Select five different timeframes to analyze trends simultaneously. This gives you the flexibility to focus on short-term trends, long-term trends, or a combination of both depending on your trading strategy.
Candle and Heat Map Color Customization:
Change the colors of the candles and heat map to fit your personal preferences. This customization allows you to align the visuals of the indicator with your overall chart setup, making it easier to analyze market conditions.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Heat Trend (VIDYA MA) - BigBeluga indicator provides a comprehensive, multi-timeframe view of market trends, using VIDYA moving averages that adapt to volume momentum or volatility. Its heat map visualization, combined with a dashboard of trend directions and color-coded candles, makes it an invaluable tool for traders looking to understand both short-term market fluctuations and longer-term trends. By showing the overall market direction across multiple timeframes, it helps traders avoid market noise and focus on the bigger picture while being alert to faster shifts in shorter timeframes.
Did it move?That is the eternal question in trading.: Is the price moving? This indicators aims to answer that question. It is based on concepts from 2 Bars from "The Strat". This indicator measures the distance the current price is above the previous high or below the previous low and on two timeframes. The assumption is that the price is moving as long as the price is above or below the previous bar.
The distance the price moved is normalized by the standard deviation. This serves the trader in two ways: 1) you can quickly determine if a price movement is significant (score > 1), and 2) you can plan exits when the score falls below 1 (e.g., movement become insignificant). Movement upwards are colored green and down movements are red. When the price is also above the higher timeframe high (below the HTF low), the color are more intense. When the price is not moving, the background is highlighted.
Finally, there are two alert setting. One is for then the price stops moving (movement score falls below a threshold. The other is a exit/reversal warning. For example if there is a strong move in the opposite it will trigger that alert.
Session Highs and Lows IndicatorThis indicator marks the high and low levels for key trading sessions, allowing traders to identify significant price zones across different markets. The default session times are defined in UTC and will automatically adjust to your local timezone:
- **London Session (07:00-09:00 UTC)**: Tracks intraday liquidity zones for potential highs/lows.
- **New York Session (12:00-14:00 UTC)**: Highlights volatility during market overlaps with Europe.
- **Asia Session (23:00-01:00 UTC)**: Confirms trend continuation and retracement opportunities.
- **New York Close Session (19:00-21:00 UTC)**: Focuses on reversals and breakout tests during global transitions.
The script dynamically updates session highs and lows with clear labels and dashed horizontal lines for better visualization. **Time ranges can be adjusted to suit your trading preferences.** This makes the indicator flexible and effective for liquidity hunting, trend trading, and breakout strategies.

Understanding the Indicator’s Logic
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Analysis:
• The indicator retrieves the closing prices of a higher timeframe using the request.security() function.
• It compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine the trend direction.
2. Key Level Calculation:
• Previous Day High/Low: Calculated by tracking the highest and lowest prices of the previous trading day.
• Pre-Market High/Low: Calculated by monitoring price action during the pre-market session.
3. First 5-Minute Marker Logic:
• At 9:35 AM (end of the first 5 minutes after market open), the indicator evaluates whether the first 5-minute high is above or below the PMH.
• It then places the appropriate label (F5H or F5L) on the chart.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• The script uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points.
• It then determines the type of swing point based on comparisons with previous swings.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• The indicator looks back over a specified number of bars to find the highest high and lowest low.
• It calculates the percentage difference between these two points.
• If the difference is below the set threshold, the market is considered to be ranging, and a box is drawn around the price action.
Limitations and Considerations
• Indicator Limitations:
• Maximum Boxes and Labels: Due to Pine Script limitations, there is a maximum number of boxes and labels that can be displayed simultaneously.
• Performance Impact: Adding multiple visual elements (boxes, labels, markers) can affect the performance of the script on lower-end devices or with large amounts of data.
• Market Conditions:
• False Signals: Like any technical tool, the indicator may produce false signals, especially during volatile or erratic market conditions.
• Not a Standalone Solution: This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, including risk management and other forms of analysis.
Conclusion
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a versatile tool that integrates essential aspects of technical analysis into one script. By providing insights into higher timeframe trends, highlighting key price levels, detecting swing points, and identifying ranging markets, it equips traders with valuable information to make more informed trading decisions.

Turtle Trade Channels Indicator with EMATurtle Trade Channels Indicator with EMA (TuTCI + EMA)
This custom indicator combines the classic Turtle Trading Channel strategy with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter to provide clear entry and exit signals, as well as trend direction guidance.
Features:
Turtle Channels: The indicator calculates the upper and lower Turtle Trading Channels based on the highest and lowest values over a user-defined period ( Entry Length for the channel).
Entry/Exit Signals: Alerts you to potential buy and sell opportunities with visual signals on the chart.
Long Entry: When the price crosses above the upper channel.
Short Entry: When the price crosses below the lower channel.
Long Exit: When the price breaks below the exit line.
Short Exit: When the price breaks above the exit line.
EMA Filter: A 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is included to identify the overall trend. The background color turns green when the price is above the EMA (bullish trend) and red when the price is below the EMA (bearish trend).
Highlighter: Optional background highlighting for the most relevant signals, such as when the price crosses the upper or lower Turtle Channel. This feature helps to easily identify key market movements.
Visual Customization: Customize the EMA length, Entry/Exit lengths, and toggle signals and highlighting to suit your preferences.
How It Works:
The Turtle Trade Channels are designed to capture breakouts by identifying key price levels (highest high and lowest low) over a specified period. By combining this strategy with an EMA, the indicator ensures trades are aligned with the broader trend, increasing the probability of successful trades.
Uptrend: When the price is above the EMA, the indicator considers the trend to be bullish, and it highlights long entry signals.
Downtrend: When the price is below the EMA, the trend is considered bearish, and short entries are emphasized.
Customization:
Entry Length: Adjusts the period for calculating the Turtle Channel's entry levels.
Exit Length: Defines the period for calculating the exit levels.
EMA Length: The period for the Exponential Moving Average (default is set to 50).
Show Entry/Exit Signals: Toggle the visibility of entry/exit signals on the chart.
Highlighter On/Off: Toggle background highlighting for key signals.
This indicator is suitable for traders who follow trend-following strategies, particularly those influenced by the Turtle Trading methodology, and wish to use an EMA filter for better trend confirmation.
Use Cases:
Trend-following traders looking for clear entry/exit signals.
