Sexy RSI for sexy tradersHello fellow sexy traders.
I was tired of constantly having to add my own horizontals/MAs to the default RSI so I decided to make this modification.
The default settings include channels from 40-80 (green horizontals) for a bullish range, and 20-60 (red horizontals) for the bearish range.
Also includes white line at 50 level, and blue horizontals at extremes (90 and 10).
If RSI stays in one of the red or green range that can signify the trend direction, as directed by Andrew Cardwell (inventor of the RSI).
If you wish for other levels to be included, just let me know! Comment on here or dm me on twitter @boss_charts and I can add the settings for you, so all you have to do is click a button and it will set it to your desired config. I want this to be a tool that is useful for heavy traders to save them time.
Additionally, in order to tell the level of the RSI and how overextended it might be, I added the setting for the RSI to change color depending on its level. Current settings are as follows:
Normal RSI (30-70) = PURPLE
Conventional Overbought/Oversold (30-20 + 70-80) = RED
1st extended (20-15 + 80-85) = PINK
2nd extended (15-10 + 85-90) = ORANGE
VERY EXTENDED (<10 + >90) = YELLOW
That way you can get an idea of how drastic a move is by the color alone. According to Dr. Cardwell, a drastic move to over/under extended can be a sign of strength.
Finally, there are the default MAs added that Mr. Cardwell defines as useful for defining the trend. These being the 9 MA and 45 EMA/WMA.
The strategy with these is to have the MAs on both price and RSI. If the 9MA is above the 45 MA on both price and RSI, then this is bullish and you can look for longs.
Conversely, if the 9 is below the 45 on both RSI and price that is bearish, and you can look for shorts.
I added the background color change for the points where the MAs cross each other, so you do not have to have the MAs fogging up your charts to know where they are relative to one another. This is similar to my MA cross indicator which contains the same functionality.
Never financial advice. Backtest it for yourself and find MA configurations that work for you.
Enjoy! Feel free to send feedback/requests whenever.

ver 1.0: 4x7 = 28 MTF MAs + 28 Levels + 3 BB = 59 < 64
ver 2.0: 5x6 = 30 MTF MAs + 30 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 3.0: 3x10 = 30 MTF MAs + 30 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 4.0: 5(4+1)x8 = 8 CurTF MAs + 32 MTF MAs + 20 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 5.0: 6(5+1)x6 = 6 CurTF MAs + 30 MTF MAs + 24 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
ver 6.0: 4(3+1)x10 = 10 CurTF MAs + 30 MTF MAs + 20 Levels + 3 BB = 63 < 64
Fib numbers: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377
This indicator shows multiple MAs of any type SMA EMA WMA HMA etc with BB and MTF support, can show MAs as dynamically moving levels.
There are 4 MA groups + 1 BB group, a total of 4 TFs * 7 MAs = 28 MAs. You can assign any type/timeframe combo to a group, for example:
- EMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400 x H1, H4, D1, W1 (4 TFs x 7 MAs x 1 type)
- EMAs 8,13,21,30,34,50,55,89,100,144,200,233,377,400 x M15, H1 (2 TFs x 14 MAs x 1 type)
- D1 EMAs and SMAs 8,13,21,30,34,50,55,89,100,144,200,233,377,400 (1 TF x 14 MAs x 2 types)
- H1 WMAs 13,21,34,55,89,144,233; H4 HMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400; D1 EMAs 12,26,89,144,169,233,377; W1 SMAs 9,12,26,50,100,200,400 (4 TFs x 7 MAs x 4 types)
- +1 extra MA type/timeframe for BB
There are several versions: Simple, MTF, Pro MTF, Advanced MTF, MAX MTF and Ultimate MTF. This is the MAX MTF version. The Differences are listed below. All versions have BB
- Simple: you have 2 groups of MAs that can be assigned any type (5+5)
- MTF: +2 custom Timeframes for each group (2x5 MTF) +1 TF for BB, TF XY smoothing
- Pro MTF: 4 custom Timeframes for each group (4x3 MTF), 1 TF for BB, MA levels and show max bars back options
- Advanced MTF: +4 extra MAs/group (4x7 MTF), custom Ticker/Symbols, Timeframe <>= filter, Remove Duplicates Option
- MAX MTF: +2 subtypes/group, packed to the limit with max possible MAs/TFs: 4x7, 5x6, 3x10, 4(3+1)x10, 5(4+1)x8, 6(5+1)x6
- Ultimate MTF: +individual settings for each MA, custom Ticker/Symbols
MAX MTF version tests the limits of Pinescript trying to squeeze as many MAs/TFs as possible into a single indicator.
It's basically a maxed out Advanced version with subtypes allowing for mixed types within a group (i.e. both emas and smas in a single group/TF)
Pinescript has the following limits:
- max 40 security calls (6 calls are reserved for dupe checks and smoothing, 2 are used for BB, so only 32 calls are available)
- max 64 plot outputs (BB uses 3 outputs, so only 61 plot outputs are available)
- max 50000 (50kb) size of the compiled code
Based on those limits, you can only have the following MAs/TFs combos in a single script:
1. 4x7, 5x6, 3x10 - total number of MTF MAs must always be <= 32, and you can still have BB and Num Levels = total MAs, without any compromises
2. 5(4+1)x8, 6(5+1)x6, 4(3+1)x10 - you can use the Current Symbol/Timeframe as an extra (+1) fixed TF with the same number of MTF MAs
- you don't need to call security to display MAs on the Current Symbol/Timeframe, so the total number of MTF MAs remains the same and is still <= 32
- to fit that many MAs into the max 64 plot outputs limit you need to reduce the number of levels (not every MA Group will have corresponding levels)
Features:
- 4x7 = 28 MAs of any type
- 4x MTF groups with XY step line smoothing
- +1 extra TF/type for BB MAs
- 2 MA subtypes within each group/TF
- 4x7 = 28 MA levels with adjustable group offsets, indents and shift
- supports any existing type of MA: SMA, EMA, WMA, Hull Moving Average (HMA)
- custom tickers/symbols for each group
- show max bars back option
- show/hide both groups of MAs/levels/BB and individual MAs
- timeframe filter: show only MAs/Levels with TFs <>= Current TF
- hide MAs/Levels with duplicate TFs
- support for custom TFs that are not available in free accounts: 2D, 3D etc
- support for timeframes in H: H, 2H, 4H etc
Notes:
- Uses timeframe textbox instead of input resolution dropdown to allow for 240 120 and other custom TFs
- Uses symbol textbox instead of input symbol to avoid establishing multiple dummy security connections to the current ticker - otherwise empty symbols will prevent script from running
- Possible reasons for missing MAs on a chart:
- there may not be enough bars in history to start plotting it. For example, W1 EMA200 needs at least 200 bars on a weekly chart.
- for charts with low/fractional prices i.e. 0.00002 << 0.001 (default Y smoothing step) decrease Y smoothing as needed (set Y = 0.0000001) or disable it completely (set X,Y to 0,0)
- for charts with high price values i.e. 20000 >> 0.001 increase Y smoothing as needed (set Y = 10-20). Higher values exceeding MAs point density will cause it to disappear as there will be no points to plot. Different TFs may require diff adjustments
- TradingView Replay Mode UI and Pinescript security calls are limited to TFs >= D (D,2D,W,MN...) for free accounts
- attempting to plot any TF < D1 in Replay Mode will only result in straight lines, but all TFs will work properly in history and real-time modes. This is not a bug.
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) is limited to 5000 for free accounts (10000 for paid), will show error when exceeded. To plot on all available history set to 0 (default)
- Slow load/redraw times. This indicator becomes slower, its UI less responsive when:
- Pinescript Node.js graphics library is too slow and inefficient at plotting bars/objects in a browser window. Code optimization doesn't help much - the graphics engine is the main reason for general slowness.
- the chart has a long history (10000+ bars) in a browser's cache (you have scrolled back a couple of screens in a max zoom mode).
- Reload the page/Load a fresh chart and then apply the indicator or
- Switch to another Timeframe (old TF history will still remain in cache and that TF will be slow)
- in max possible zoom mode around 4500 bars can fit on 1 screen - this also slows down responsiveness. Reset Zoom level
- initial load and redraw times after a param change in UI also depend on TF. For example: D1/W1 - 2 sec, H1/H4 - 5-6 sec, M30 - 10 sec, M15/M5 - 4 sec, M1 - 5 sec. M30 usually has the longest history (up to 16000 bars) and W1 - the shortest (1000 bars).
- when indicator uses more MAs (plots) and timeframes it will redraw slower. Seems that up to 5 Timeframes is acceptable, but 6+ Timeframes can become very slow.
- show_last=last_bars plot limit doesn't affect load/redraw times, so it was removed from MA plot
- Max Bars Back (num_bars) default/custom set UI value doesn't seem to affect load/redraw times
- In max zoom mode all dynamic levels disappear (they behave like text)
- Dupe check includes symbol: symbol, tf, both subtypes - all must match for a duplicate group
- For the dupe check to work correctly a custom symbol must always include an exchange prefix. BB is not checked for dupes
Good Luck! Feel free to learn from/reuse the code to build your own indicators.

ADX +- DiThis Adx +-Di is just a complete version of what the ADX is supposed to signal.
So you have:
15 (contraction), 20 (threshold), 30 (expansion), 40 (resistance) levels.
Below 20 the price is not trending
Above 30 the price is trending
Below 15 price has been in contraction for too long
Between 20 and 30 price is in a "transition zone".
I finally added a "Resistance" level (40), which has to be adapted to best represent the historical levels where price usually encounters resistance, and where the price can be declared "overtrending", which means a return to lower levels is likely to happen.
I've chosen mild colors, and set the Adx Color to White, because I use black background, you can easily change that.
Enjoy

Average Directional Index with DI SpreadThis indicator converts conventional triple lined ADX, DI+ and DI- into two lines. First line is the
original ADX line and second line is obtained by subtracting DI- from DI+ which named DI Spread(DIS)
If ADX is greater than 20 there is a trend and if greater than 40 there is a strong trend but ADX does not tell
the trend direction
To determine trend direction, DIS can be used with ADX; Sımply; If DIS is greater than 0, it is an uptrend and If DIS
is less than 0, it is a downtrend.
To sum up;
If ADX is greater than 20 and especially greater than 40 with positive DIS value, this implies an uptrend.
If ADX is greater than 20 and especially greater than 40 with negative DIS value, this implies a downtrend.
*Because of coloration and reference levels used, this indicator is really simple and efficient to analyze trend direction.
MFI Multi-TimeframeThe Money Flow Index (MFI) is an oscillating momentum and market strength indicator that was developed by Gene Quong and Avrum Soudack. It is also a leading indicator, which means it tends to lead price action, and is similar in calculation as J. Welles Wilder's Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the significant difference being that the MFI uses both price and volume. Like the RSI, the MFI is a range-bound oscillator that oscillates between zero and 100 and is interpreted in a similar way as the RSI. The ultimate aim of the MFI is to determine whether money is flowing in or out of a security over a specified look-back period.
HOW IS IT USED ?
The MFI oscillates between 0 and 100 and a security is considered overbought when its MFI rises above 80 and oversold when its MFI falls below 20. These levels are the suggested overbought and oversold levels as suggested by Quong and Soudack, though they do not suggest these levels as entry signals. Instead, these caution levels warn that the price action and the current trend have reached extremes that may be unsustainable. Quong and Soudack also recommend using the 90 and 10 lines as truly overbought and truly oversold levels respectively. MFI movements above 90 and below 10 are rare and indicate a higher level of unsustainability.
Finally, failure swings from the 20 or 80 levels can also be used to identify potential price reversals and trade entries. A failure swing occurs when the MFI moves over the overbought or oversold level but reverses back before reaching the opposite level. Thus, when the MFI crosses up over the 20 (oversold) level but reverses before it reaches the 80 (overbought) level, it indicates that the uptrend is weak and that it may reverse soon. This signals that you should cover any long positions or go short. Similarly, when the MFI crosses down over the 80 (overbought) level but reverses before it reaches the 20 (oversold) level, it indicates a weakness in the down trend and the probability that the trend will reverse. This would be a signal to close of any short positions; or a signal to long buy.
I added the possibility to add on the chart a 2nd timeframe for confirmation.
If you found this script useful, a tip is always welcome... :)
Exponential Moving Average (Set of 3) [Krypt] + 13/34 EMAsI took Krypt's script and essentially added on to it.
the 20/50/100/200 EMAs should be used together as support and resistance as normal.
Wait for price to break 200 EMA
Wait for 50 EMA to cross 200 EMA
Wait for pullback to 50 EMA to open position
20 and 100 EMAs are for extra information about moving support and resistance
and 13/34 EMAs should be used in conjunction
When 13 EMA crosses 34 EMA, open position
When price gets far from 13/34, close position (because price will attempt to revert back to mean)
This is better for scalping and swing trades than the 20/50/100/200 setup.

Gap Gain Test V1.0 by @overratedtraderOddball indicators for entertainment purposes only. This is best used on daily chart.
Look at the 20 ALMA to gauge likelihood of stock following its up or down gap.
- if above the 20 ALMA , follow the gap direction
- if below the 20 ALMA , take counter trend trade
If stock gaps up AND closes higher than it opens, that gain % (close/open) is colored green and if stock gaps down and closes lower than it opens, that gain % (close/open) is colored green
Conversely if the stock gaps up BUT closes lower than it opens, red and if a stop gaps down but closes higher than it opens, red.
Enjoy and follow me on twitter @overratedtrader for more nonsensical and out-of-the-box ideas.
Adaptive Donchian ChannelThis indicator adds a level of adaptivity to the simple Donchian Channel by adjusting the sensitivity (lookback periods) of the channel's upper and lower bounds based on the amount of time that has elapsed since the price has hit/expanded the channel boundaries. Comparing the results of this indicator to the standard Donchian Channel, the readier level of responsiveness may prove self-evident.
METHODOLOGY:
Specifically, the more recently the channel was expanded in one direction, the longer the lookback period grows in that direction. Conversely, if the channel has not been expanded in a given direction, the lookback period will contract so as to allow for a tighter channel.
For example, let the initial lookback period be 20 bars and let the factor argument be 0.1 (or 2 bars to start, as 20*0.1 = 2). Now say the current bar sets a new 20-period high. Then the lookback period for the upper bound is expanded by 2 bars to 22, and the lookback period for the lower bound is contracted by 2 bars to 18, thereby making it simultaneously harder to set new highs and easier to set new lows (and vice versa for hitting new lows). If neither a new high nor a new low is formed, both periods contract by the given factor.
TonyUX EMA Scalper - Buy / SellThis is a simple scalping strategy that works for all time frames... I have only tested it on FOREX
It works by checking if the price is currently in an uptrend and if it crosses the 20 EMA.
If it crosses the 20 EMA and its in and uptrend it will post a BUY SIGNAL.
If it crosses the 20 EMA and its in and down it will post a SELL SIGNAL.
The red line is the highest close of the previous 8 bars --- This is resistance
The green line is the lowest close of the previous 8 bars -- This is support
EMA_ConvergenceFirst I have to give kudos to my son who I asked to take a shot at creating this little indicator. Nice work son!
While trading, one of the things I look for is when price or certain EMA's approach another EMA. The example that I use on this 1 minute SPY chart is an 8 EMA and 20 EMA. I am looking for when the 8 and 20 are within' 3 cents of each other. Many times when they are getting close, price is approaching a top or bottom. I am looking for a candlestick reversal around that area. You may want to know when PRICE is near the 50 EMA: Use EMA 1 and 50 for that. Having it light up on top of the page, or elsewhere, makes it easier to look for the convergence when it occurs. If it lights up for a long period, price may be going sideways. I don't enter into a trade until the EMA starts separating, usually with another candlestick formation.
You are able to change the distance for convergence and two EMA's. Unfortunately you will have to adjust the convergence number up as you increase in time frames. This is designed to see when they are close, not when they cross.
The bars on top of this example are lit up purple due to the 8 and 20 EMA are within' 3 cents of each other.
If you want to overlay the price bars, instead of having it separate, just change overlay to "true"
Enjoy.
Luxy Flexible Moving AveragesUltra-lightweight moving average suite supporting six calculation methods (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA).
Overview
Luxy Flexible Moving Averages is a performance-optimized indicator designed for traders who need clean, reliable moving average lines without the overhead of complex calculations or unnecessary features. This indicator prioritizes speed and visual clarity, making it ideal for traders who run multiple indicators simultaneously or work on lower-powered devices.
Unlike traditional moving average indicators that calculate all lines regardless of whether they are enabled, Luxy only processes the moving averages you actually need, resulting in near-instantaneous chart loading times.
What Makes This Different
The primary design philosophy behind Luxy Flexible Moving Averages is efficiency without compromise. The indicator includes four independently configurable moving average lines, each supporting six different calculation methods. Every calculation is conditionally executed, meaning that disabled lines consume zero processing power. This approach delivers exceptional performance even when paired with resource-intensive indicators like volume profiles, market structure tools, or custom scanners.
Features
The indicator provides four distinct moving average lines, each fully customizable:
Fast MA is typically used for short-term momentum and quick directional changes. Traders often configure this as an EMA with lengths between 5 and 20 bars, depending on their trading timeframe.
Medium MA serves as a middle-ground reference, often used to identify the intermediate trend or as a dynamic support and resistance level. This line commonly uses EMA or SMA calculations with lengths between 10 and 50bars.
Medium-Long MA acts as a visual bridge between short-term noise and long-term structure. Many traders disable this line entirely if they prefer a cleaner chart, but it can be useful for identifying larger trend phases. Typical configurations use SMA or RMA with lengths between 50 and one 150 bars.
Long MA represents the dominant trend or bias. This is often configured as a 200 period SMA, which is a widely-watched level across most markets and timeframes. Alternatively, traders may use RMA for a smoother visual appearance.
Each line supports six calculation methods:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) applies exponentially decreasing weights to older prices, making it highly responsive to recent price action. This is the preferred method for momentum-based strategies and short-term trading.
SMA (Simple Moving Average ) treats all prices equally within the lookback period, resulting in a smoother line that is less reactive to sudden price spikes. This is commonly used for identifying long-term trends.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) applies linearly decreasing weights, offering a middle ground between EMA and SMA. It responds faster than SMA but with less sensitivity than EMA.
VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average) incorporates volume data into the calculation, giving more weight to bars with higher trading activity. This method is particularly useful in liquid markets where volume represents genuine participation.
RMA (Relative Moving Average, also known as Wilder's Smoothing) is a variant of EMA with a slower response curve. It is commonly used in oscillators like RSI and ADX, and provides very smooth trend lines on charts.
HMA (Hull Moving Average) is designed to reduce lag while maintaining smoothness. It is the most responsive option available in this indicator but can produce more false signals during choppy or sideways markets.
How It Works
The indicator operates on a conditional calculation model. When you load the indicator, it checks which moving average lines are enabled via the input settings. Only the enabled lines are calculated on each bar, and disabled lines are assigned a not-applicable value, preventing any processing overhead.
Each moving average is calculated using native TradingView functions, ensuring maximum compatibility and reliability across all asset classes and timeframes. The indicator does not use any security calls, loops, or external data requests, which are common sources of performance degradation in more complex indicators.
Recommended Configurations
The optimal moving average configuration depends on your trading style and timeframe. Below are general guidelines based on common trading approaches.
Scalping (1 minute to 5 minute charts)
Scalpers require fast-reacting moving averages that can identify micro-trends and momentum shifts within seconds. The recommended configuration prioritizes EMA or HMA for all lines, with very short lengths to capture quick moves.
For the Fast MA, use EMA with a length between 5 and 8. This line should react almost immediately to price changes and helps confirm entry timing during breakouts or pullbacks.
For the Medium MA , use EMA with a length between 10 and 15. This serves as your primary directional filter. When price is above this line, you look for long opportunities. When below, you look for shorts.
The Medium-Long MA is often disabled in scalping setups to reduce visual noise. If used, configure it as SMA between 40 and 80 to provide context on the broader 5-minute or 15-minute trend.
The Long MA can be set to SMA with a length between 100 and 150, or simply disabled. On very short timeframes, this line often provides more historical context than real-time utility.
Day Trading (5 minute to 1 hour charts)
Day traders benefit from a balanced approach that filters out noise while remaining responsive to intraday volatility. A common configuration combines EMA for short-term lines and SMA for long-term structure.
For the Fast MA , use EMA with a length between 8 and 12. This captures momentum without overreacting to every minor price swing.
For the Medium MA , use EMA with a length between 12 and 21. This is often used as a dynamic support or resistance level during trending sessions.
For the Medium-Long MA , configure SMA or RMA between 60 and one 120. This line helps identify whether the intraday trend aligns with the broader daily bias.
The Long MA is typically set to SMA with a length of 200. This is a critical level that many institutional traders watch, and price reactions around this line are often significant.
Swing Trading (4 hour to daily charts)
Swing traders operate on longer timeframes and need moving averages that filter out daily noise while highlighting multi-day or multi-week trends. SMA and RMA are commonly preferred for their smoothness, though EMA can be used for faster momentum entries.
For the Fast MA , use EMA or SMA with a length between 10 and 20. This line helps time entries during pullbacks within the larger trend.
For the Medium MA , use EMA or SMA with a length between 20 and 34. This often serves as a key decision point for whether a pullback is likely to reverse or continue.
For the Medium-Long MA , configure SMA between 100 and 180. This provides visual context on the broader weekly trend and can act as a significant support or resistance zone.
The Long MA should be SMA with a length of 200 or higher. On daily charts, the two-hundred-day moving average is one of the most widely-referenced indicators in global markets, and price behavior around this level is often predictable.
Using Moving Averages for Trend Identification
Moving averages are primarily used to determine trend direction and strength. The relationship between price and the moving average lines provides insight into market structure.
When price is trading above a moving average, the trend is generally considered bullish on that timeframe. When price is below, the trend is bearish. The steeper the slope of the moving average, the stronger the trend. A flat moving average indicates consolidation or a potential trend change.
Crossovers between moving averages are commonly used as trend confirmation signals. When a faster moving average crosses above a slower moving average, this suggests increasing bullish momentum. When the faster line crosses below, it suggests increasing bearish momentum. However, crossovers should not be used in isolation, as they can produce false signals during sideways markets.
Many traders use moving averages as dynamic support and resistance levels. During uptrends, price often pulls back to a key moving average before resuming higher. During downtrends, price often rallies to a moving average before resuming lower. These levels can be used to plan entries, exits, or stop-loss placement.
Trend MACD [JopAlgo]Trend MACD — momentum made obvious (4-state histogram)
What it does (one line):
A clean MACD histogram using EMA(fast) − EMA(slow) with a signal line. The columns change color to show trend side and momentum change at a glance.
Green = above 0 and rising → positive trend, momentum building
White (upside) = above 0 but fading → still positive, momentum cooling
White (downside) = below 0 but improving → still negative, momentum recovering
Red = below 0 and falling → negative trend, momentum building down
Zero line = the bull/bear divider. Distance from zero = thrust. Color change = momentum shift.
What you’ll see
Dashed zero line for the trend divider
Column histogram with the 4-state color logic above
No clutter—just momentum and regime, clean
Read it in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? Are bars getting bigger or smaller? Did the color flip?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Look for longs while histogram is ≥ 0.
Look for shorts while histogram is ≤ 0.
Timing
Green sequence (above 0, growing): join pullbacks at real levels.
White above 0: positive but cooling—buy pullbacks only at levels, don’t chase.
White below 0: negative but improving—prepare for reclaim trades at levels.
Red sequence: trend down—sell pops at levels.
Location first (always)
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) and Anchored VWAP (session/weekly/event).
No level, no trade.
Quality check (optional, strong)
CVDv1 : execute when Alignment OK and no Absorption against your side.
RVOL (if you track it): prefer breakouts with RVOL above cutoff.
Entries, exits, risk (keep it tight)
Continuation long: price retests VAL / AVWAP / MA cluster in an up regime (≥ 0). Histogram stays ≥ 0 and turns green again → enter.
Stop: under structure. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing.
Break + retest: breakout through a level while histogram flips from white→green above 0 (or white→red below 0 for shorts). Enter on the retest that holds.
Trim / avoid: when bars shrink toward 0 (white) into your target / HVN—momentum is cooling. Don’t chase fresh highs with white bars.
Settings that matter (how to tune)
Fast Length (default 25)
Shorter = quicker turns (more noise). Longer = steadier, slower.
Slow Length (default 200)
Big backbone. For intraday you might use 21/55 or 12/26; for swing the default 25/200 or 20/100 is solid.
Signal Smoothing (default 9)
Higher = smoother, fewer flips. Lower = more reactive.
Source
close is fine; if you use hlc3, expect slightly smoother behavior.
Suggested presets
Scalp (1–5m): 12 / 26 / 9
Intraday (15m–1H): 21 / 55 / 9
Swing (2H–4H): 25 / 100 or 25 / 200 / 9
Daily backdrop: 20 / 100 or 50 / 200 / 9 (execute on lower TF)
Pattern cheat sheet
Green staircase above 0 → trend leg; buy pullbacks to VP/AVWAP.
White above 0 → positive but tiring; avoid chasing; wait for retest.
Flip through 0 with expansion → regime change; use the first retest at a level.
Red staircase below 0 → trend down; sell pops at VP edges.
Diverging price vs shrinking bars → momentum thinning; tighten risk.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2: entries at VAH/VAL/LVNs, targets at POC/HVNs.
Anchored VWAP: reclaim/reject with matching histogram side is high-quality timing.
CVDv1: take MACD-aligned setups with flow (ALIGN OK, no Absorption).
RVOL: confirmation that the push has participation.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Longs with red momentum or shorts with green momentum.
Chasing new highs on white (cooling) bars.
Trading mid-range when histogram keeps whipsawing around 0 (do less; wait for level).

Rate of Change Indicator [JopAlgo] (ROCI)Rate of Change Indicator (ROCI) — see impulse early, skip the dead moves
What it is (one line):
ROCI tells you how fast price changed vs N bars ago , in percent. It’s a clean momentum gauge:
Above 0 → price is higher than N bars ago (bullish momentum).
Below 0 → price is lower than N bars ago (bearish momentum).
Further from 0 → stronger impulse.
The default +5 / −5 bands highlight strong thrust . Zero-line crosses flag momentum shifts.
What you’ll see
Blue line = ROCI.
Orange dotted line = 0 (bull/bear divider).
White dotted lines = ±Strong Momentum levels (default ±5).
Green/red panel tint when ROCI lives above +5 or below −5.
Read in 3 seconds: Which side of 0? How far? Growing or fading vs last bar?
How to use it (simple playbook)
Direction filter
Trade longs only while ROCI > 0.
Trade shorts only while ROCI < 0.
Timing
Breakouts: prefer breaks where ROCI pushes through +5/−5 and holds on the first retest.
Pullbacks in trend: in an uptrend, let ROCI dip toward 0 and then turn back up → entry. (Mirror for downtrends.)
Do less in chop
If ROCI whips around near 0, you’re in balance. Only act at objective levels.
Rule of thumb: Zero cross = heads-up. ±5 hold = go-with.
Entries, exits, risk (use this, keep it tight)
Continuation entry (trend):
Bias up at your level (e.g., VAL/AVWAP). ROCI stays > 0 and turns up from a shallow dip → enter long.
Stop: under structure/level. Targets: POC/HVNs or next swing.
Breakout entry:
Break through a level with ROCI > +5 (or < −5 for shorts). Enter on the retest that holds while ROCI remains outside the band.
Invalidation: quick fall back inside the band and under 0 → stand down.
Exit/trim:
On longs, repeated lower ROCI peaks into your target (momentum fading) → take profits or tighten.
Timeframe guide
1–5m (scalps) : ROC Period 10–20, Strong 6–10. Many signals; require level + confirmation.
15m–1H (intraday): ROC Period 14–34, Strong 4–7. Sweet spot.
2H–4H (swing): ROC Period 20–50, Strong 3–6. Cleaner legs, fewer flips.
1D+ (position): ROC Period 50–100, Strong 2–5. Use for backdrop; trigger on lower TF.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune)
ROC Period (default 32) : lookback for comparison.
Shorter = earlier signals, more noise.
Longer = steadier bias, slower turns.
Strong Momentum Threshold (default 5) : where you say “this is real thrust.”
Pick it by history: scroll back, mark thrusts that ran, and note their typical ROCI. Set the band slightly inside that value so you see the start of good moves.
Pattern cheatsheet
Impulse leg : ROCI above 0 making higher peaks → trend leg in progress.
Healthy pullback : ROCI dips toward 0 but doesn’t flip negative, then turns up → add/entry with trend.
Weak breakout / likely fail: Price pokes level but ROCI stays near 0 or rolls over quickly.
Divergence (lightweight): Price makes a higher high, ROCI peaks lower → momentum thinning; trail tight into HVNs.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 : Use VAH/VAL/LVNs/POC for where. ROCI tells you if the break has juice.
Anchored VWAP : Reclaim/reject AVWAP with ROCI on the correct side of 0 for higher quality.
CVDv1 :
Yes: ROCI thrust + CVD Alignment OK + no Absorption → higher odds the move sticks.
No: ROCI thrust but Absorption red → don’t chase; wait for the fail/reclaim.
(Optional add: RVOL—high participation + strong ROCI is the A+ combo for breaks.)
Common mistakes this avoids
Buying a breakout while ROCI sits near 0 (no impulse).
Shorting a strong trend when ROCI is firmly > 0 (or > +5).
Treating every zero cross as a trade (it’s a heads-up, not an entry by itself).
Quick defaults to start
ROC Period: 32
Strong Threshold: 5
Process: Level → ROCI side/strength → (optionally) CVD quality → Execute with structure-based risk
Screenshots tip: show a level break where ROCI pushes through +5 and a pullback where ROCI turns up from ~0.

Multiple Moving Averages [JopAlgo]Multiple Moving Averages — read trend, timing, and strength at a glance
What it does:
Mark up to 5 moving averages (you pick type + length + color). Watch how they stack, slope, braid, and fan out to judge trend direction, pullback timing, and breakout quality on any timeframe.
Read it in 5 seconds
Stack order:
Bullish: fast MAs on top of slow MAs.
Bearish: fast MAs below slow MAs.
Slope: up = trend has a tailwind; down = headwind.
Spacing: wide = strong trend; tight/braided = balance/chop.
If you remember only one rule: trade with the stack and slope, enter at levels.
High-probability plays (simple and repeatable)
Trend pullback (with level)
Stack is bullish, slopes up.
Price pulls back to the MA cluster (or AVWAP/VAL), holds, fast MAs curl back up.
Long. Stop: below structure/slowest MA. Target: POC/HVNs or next swing.
(Mirror for shorts in a bearish stack.)
Reclaim + recurl
After a down phase, price closes above fast MAs (MA1–MA2), they turn up, and you’re at a real level (AVWAP/VA edge).
Take the first higher-low with the stack starting to flip.
Squeeze → expansion
MAs braid tight = energy building.
Break at a level, then the lines fan out in your direction.
Enter on the first retest that holds.
Skip trades when the lines are braided mid-range and you’re not at a level.
Timeframe guide (what usually works)
1–5m (scalps): EMA heavy (e.g., 5/9/21/34/55). Expect more signals; filter with levels + CVD.
15m–1H (intraday): 9/21/34/50/200 (mix EMA for fast, SMA for slow).
2H–4H (swing): 10/20/50/100/200 or 8/21/34/55/89 (smoother read).
1D+ (position): 20/50/100/200 (bias) and enter on lower TF.
Tip: Don’t set all five to the same length—stagger them so the stack tells a story.
Settings that matter (and what they mean)
MA types (pick the feel you like):
EMA – fastest response (great for timing).
SMA – smoother backbone (great for bias).
WMA / LWMA – responsive but less twitchy than EMA.
VWMA – weights price by volume (good on assets with uneven volume).
SMMA – very smooth (reduces whips).
DEMA – extra fast (can be noisy).
HEMA – in this script behaves like a double-EMA style response (fast).
RVIMA – not implemented here (will plot nothing if chosen).
Length:
Shorter = earlier turns, more noise.
Longer = slower, cleaner bias.
Keep a sensible spread (e.g., 1:2:3… or Fib-style 9/21/34/55/89).
Colors:
Use consistent colors (e.g., warm = fast, cool = slow) so you can read the stack instantly.
Best combos with other tools
Volume Profile v3.2: take signals at VAH/VAL/LVNs; use POC/HVNs for targets.
Anchored VWAP: reclaims/rejections + MA recurl = clean timing.
CVDv1: execute with flow (Alignment OK, strong Imbalance, no Absorption against you).
Common mistakes this prevents
Shorting into a bullish stack (or buying into a bearish one).
Chasing far from the fast MAs; better to wait for a pullback.
Trading every wiggle in chop—braids tell you to do less.
Quick FAQs
Cluttered chart? Hide 1–2 lines (keep fast, middle, slow) or thin the linewidth.
Which one is “right”? None. Pick a set that fits your tempo and stick to it.
RVIMA option? Not implemented in this version—choose another type.
Starter presets (copy these, then adjust)
Intraday: MA1 EMA9, MA2 EMA21, MA3 SMA34, MA4 SMA50, MA5 SMA200
Swing: MA1 EMA10, MA2 SMA20, MA3 SMA50, MA4 SMA100, MA5 SMA200

Multi MA Cross [JopAlgo]Multi MA Cross — simple, flexible trend + timing
What it does:
Plots two moving averages (you pick the types and lengths) and marks their crossovers. Use it to read trend direction and time pullbacks/breakouts. Works on any timeframe.
What you’ll see
Short MA (orange)
Long MA (lime)
Cross mark (aqua ✚) when they cross
Green/lime above orange = bullish bias (short MA above long).
Orange above lime = bearish bias.
How to use it (simple playbook)
Trade with the bias
Longs only when short MA > long MA.
Shorts only when short MA < long MA.
Enter at a real level
Use Volume Profile v3.2 (VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs) or Anchored VWAP .
Crosses at or just after a level hold are higher quality.
Quality check (optional, strong)
CVDv1 : take trades when Alignment = OK, Imbalance strong, Absorption ≠ red.
Manage risk
Stop goes beyond the level/structure, not on an MA wiggle.
Trim into POC/HVNs or next structure.
Good entries you’ll recognize
Pullback-to-long MA (trend):
Bias up, price pulls to long MA (or AVWAP/VAL), short MA curls back up → enter long.
Reclaim + cross:
Price reclaims AVWAP/VA edge, then short MA crosses over long → confirmation to join.
Squeeze → break:
MAs converge (tight), then expand after a level break. Enter on retest that holds.
Skip crosses in the middle of nowhere. Cross + location + flow beats cross alone.
Timeframe guidance
1–5m (scalps): EMA/EMA or EMA/WMA. Expect more crosses. Use VP/AVWAP and CVD filters.
15m–1H (intraday): EMA(9) vs SMA(21) is a solid default.
2H–4H (swing): SMA(20–34) vs SMA(50) or EMA(21) vs EMA(55).
1D+ (position): SMA(50) vs SMA(200) for broad bias; entries on lower TF.
Settings that matter (and what they mean)
Short/Long MA Type:
EMA = fast, good for timing.
SMA = smooth, good for bias.
WMA/LWMA = in-between (responsive).
VWMA = weights by volume.
SMMA = very smooth (reduces whips).
HEMA/DEMA = extra responsive.
VWAP = daily session VWAP (anchor), ignores length in practice.
Short/Long Length:
Short = timing sensitivity.
Long = trend backbone.
Keep a ratio ~ 1:2 to 1:3 (e.g., 9/21, 10/30, 20/50).
Note on VWAP option: The script fetches a daily VWAP anchor. It acts like a fair-value line, not a rolling MA. Your Length won’t affect VWAP.
Filters that boost win rate
Slope check: Only take longs when both MAs slope up; shorts when both slope down.
Distance check: Don’t chase if price is far from the short MA; wait for a pullback.
HTF agreement: On 15m, glance at 1H/4H bias; on 4H, glance at 1D. Trade with the higher-TF wind.
Combos that work
Volume Profile v3.2: Use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs for entries/targets. Cross at those references is meaningful.
Anchored VWAP: Reclaims/rejections first, MA cross second = cleaner timing.
CVDv1: Only act when flow agrees (ALIGN OK, no Absorption against you).
Common mistakes this avoids
Shorting into an up-bias (or vice versa).
Chasing a cross far from value (wait for the pullback).
Trading every cross in chop (use levels + CVD to filter).
Defaults to start with
Short MA: EMA 9
Long MA: SMA 21
Timeframes: 15m–4H
Process: Bias → Level → Cross/Retest → CVD check → Execute

FRAMA Channel [JopAlgo]FRAMA Channel — let the market tell you how fast to move
Most moving averages make you pick a speed and hope it fits every regime. FRAMA (Fractal Adaptive Moving Average, popularized by John Ehlers) does the opposite: it adapts its smoothing to market structure. When price action is “trendy” (more directional, less jagged), FRAMA speeds up; when it’s choppy (more fractal noise), FRAMA slows down and filters the rubble.
FRAMA Channel wraps that adaptive core with a volatility channel and clean color logic so you can read trend, mean-reversion windows, and breakouts in one glance—on any timeframe.
What you’re seeing (plain-English tour)
FRAMA midline (Filt): the adaptive average. It’s computed from a fractal dimension of price over Length (N).
Trendy tape → lower fractal dimension → FRAMA tracks price tighter.
Choppy tape → higher fractal dimension → FRAMA smooths harder.
Channel bands (Filt ± distance × volatility): the “breathing room.” Volatility here is a long lookback average of (high − low).
Upper band = potential resistance in down/neutral or trend-walk path in uptrends.
Lower band = mirror logic for shorts.
Color logic (simple and strict):
Green when price breaks above the upper band → bullish regime (momentum present).
Red when price breaks below the lower band → bearish regime.
White when price crosses the FRAMA midline → neutral/reset.
Optional candle coloring: toggle Color Candles to tint the chart itself with the regime color—handy for quick reads.
(When you add screenshots: image #1 should label FRAMA, bands, and the three colors in a small trend + pullback. Image #2 can show a “squeeze → expansion” sequence: channel tightens, then price breaks and walks the band.)
How it’s built (without the jargon)
The script measures three ranges over your Length (N): two half-windows and the full window.
It converts those into a fractal dimension (Dimen). That number says “how zig-zaggy” price is right now.
It turns Dimen into an alpha (smoothing factor): alpha = exp(−4.6 × (Dimen − 1)), clamped so it never explodes or flatlines.
It updates FRAMA each bar using that alpha.
It builds bands using a long average of (high − low) multiplied by your Bands Distance setting.
It changes color only on confirmed bar events:
hlc3 crosses above the upper band → green
hlc3 crosses below the lower band → red
close crosses the midline → white
Result: a channel that tightens in balance, widens in trend, and doesn’t flicker on partial bars.
How to use FRAMA Channel on any timeframe
Same framework everywhere. Your job is to choose where to act (objective levels) and let FRAMA tell you trend/mean-reversion context and breakout quality.
Scalping (1–5m)
Pullback-to-midline (trend): When color is green, buy pullbacks that hold at/above the midline; when red, short pullbacks that fail at/below it.
Invalidation: a white flip (midline cross back) right after entry → tighten or bail.
Squeeze → break: A narrowing channel often precedes a move. Only chase the break if color flips to green/red and the first pullback holds the band/midline.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Trend rides: In green/red, expect price to walk the outer band. Entries on midline kisses are cleaner than chasing the band itself.
Balance fades: In white (neutral) with a tight channel, fade outer band → midline—but only at a real level (see “Pairing” below).
Swing (2H–4H)
Regime compass: Color changes that stick (several bars) often mark swing regime shifts. Combine with Weekly/Event AVWAP and composite VP levels.
Add/Trim: In an uptrend, add on midline holds; trim as the channel widens and price spikes beyond the upper band into HVNs.
Position (1D–1W)
Context first: A persistent green weekly channel is constructive; a persistent red is distributive.
Patience: Wait for midline retests at higher-TF levels rather than chasing outer-band prints.
Entries, exits, and risk (keep it simple)
Continuation entry (trend):
Color already green/red.
Price pulls back to FRAMA midline (or shallowly toward it) and holds.
Take the trend side.
Stop: beyond the opposite side of the midline or behind local structure.
Targets: your Volume Profile HVN/POC or prior swing, not the band alone.
Breakout entry:
Channel had tightened; price breaks a key level.
Color flips green/red and the first retest holds.
Enter with the break.
Avoid: breaks that flip color but immediately white-flip on the next bar.
Mean-reversion entry (balance):
Color white and channel tight.
At a VP edge (VAL/VAH), fade outer band → midline.
Stop: just outside the band; Exit: at midline/POC.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
Length (N) — default 26
Controls how FRAMA “reads” structure.
Shorter (14–20): faster, more responsive (good for scalps/intraday), more flips in chop.
Longer (30–40): steadier (good for swings/position), slower to acknowledge new trends.
Bands Distance — default 1.5
Scales the channel width.
If you’re constantly tagging bands, increase slightly (1.7–2.0).
If nothing ever reaches the band, decrease (1.2–1.4) to make context meaningful.
Color Candles — on/off
Great for quick regime reads. If your chart feels too busy, leave bands colored and turn candle coloring off.
Warm-up note: FRAMA references N bars. Right after switching timeframes or symbols, give it N–2N bars to settle before you judge the current state.
(You may see an input named “Signals Data” in this version; it’s reserved for future enhancements.)
What to look for (pattern cheat sheet)
Walk-the-band: After a green/red flip, price hugs the outer band while the midline slopes. Ride pullbacks to the midline, don’t fade the band.
Squeeze → Expansion: Channel pinches, then color flips and bands widen—that’s the move. The first midline retest is your best entry.
False break tell: Brief color flip to green/red that immediately reverts to white on the next bar—skip chasing; plan for a reclaim.
Midline reclaims: In chop, repeated white↔green/white↔red flips say “mean reversion”; stay tactical and target the midline/POC.
Pairing FRAMA Channel with other tools
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
FRAMA tells you trend/mean-reversion context; CVDv1 tells you flow quality.
Breakout quality: FRAMA flips green and CVDv1 ALIGN = OK, Imbalance strong, Absorption ≠ red → higher odds the break sticks.
If Absorption is red on a FRAMA green flip, do not chase—wait for retest or look for a fail/reclaim.
Volume Profile v3.2:
Use VAH/VAL/LVNs/POC for where.
Green + VAL retest → rotate toward POC/HVN.
Red + VAH rejection → rotate back to POC.
LVN + green flip → expect fast travel toward the next HVN; set targets there.
Anchored VWAP :
Treat AVWAP as fair-value rails.
AVWAP reclaim + FRAMA green → excellent trend-resume entry.
AVWAP rejection + FRAMA red → high-quality short; use midline as your risk guide.
Common pitfalls this helps you avoid
Chasing every poke: FRAMA’s white → green/red state change helps you wait for confirmation (or a retest) instead of reacting to the first wick.
Fading a real trend: A sloped midline with price walking the band is telling you not to fight it.
Stops too tight: In expansion, give the trade room to the midline or local structure, not just inside the channel.
Practical defaults to start with
Length: 26
Bands Distance: 1.5
Color Candles: on (turn off if your chart is busy)
Timeframes: works out of the box on 15m–4H; for 1–5m try Length=20; for daily swings try Length=34–40.

Elliott Wave Oscillator [JopAlgo]Elliott Wave Oscillator — a simple impulse meter that tells you when the move has “real push”
If price is the story, impulse is the emotion behind each chapter. The Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO) is a clean way to see that emotion: it’s just the difference between a fast and a slow moving average. When the fast MA pulls away from the slow MA, the histogram grows; when they come back together, it shrinks. Above zero = bullish impulse; below zero = bearish impulse.
EWO keeps the math honest and the read effortless:
Choose SMA, EMA, or a volume-weighted average for each side (the “VWAP” option here uses a rolling VWMA over the chosen length).
A zero line anchors the read (bull vs bear).
Bars color by slope: rising = building momentum, falling = momentum fading.
(For screenshots: image #1 label the zero line, rising/falling bars, and a zero cross. Image #2 show a strong impulse leg hugging one side of zero, then fading into a pullback.)
What you’re seeing (and how it’s built)
Short MA (default 5) and Long MA (default 35) are computed using your selected MA Type (SMA, EMA, or rolling volume-weighted).
EWO = Short MA − Long MA.
EWO > 0: fast MA above slow → bullish impulse.
EWO < 0: fast MA below slow → bearish impulse.
Histogram colors:
Green bar: EWO increasing vs previous bar (momentum building).
Red bar: EWO decreasing (momentum waning).
Alerts: fire when EWO crosses the zero line (bullish or bearish “trend shift” heads-up).
New to this? Think of EWO as a throttle: above zero the engine is pushing forward; below zero it’s pushing backward. The height shows how hard it’s pushing; the color shows if that push is growing or fading right now.
How to use EWO on any timeframe
Same framework everywhere—what changes is your location and targets (from your other tools).
Scalping (1–5m)
Breakout confirmation: Only chase a micro-break if EWO flips above zero and grows green as price leaves a level (VAL/LVN/AVWAP). If it flips then immediately shrinks red, that’s your “don’t chase” warning.
Pullback timing: In a quick trend, wait for EWO to dip but stay above zero, then turn green again. That flip is often your pullback end.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Continuation filter: After a level break, ride as long as EWO stays on your side of zero. The first red bar while still above zero is a cue to partial or tighten stops.
Failed break tell: A poke through VAH/VAL with EWO still near zero (no expansion) is often a trap. Prefer retest/reclaim trades.
Swing (2H–4H)
Impulse leg ID: Strong trends show an EWO “bulge” (wide, mostly green bars above zero for longs). When that bulge shrinks back toward zero, look for mean-reversion to AVWAP/POC before the next leg.
Divergence (lightweight): Price makes a higher high, but EWO tops at a lower peak → impulse is weaker; plan for retrace to value.
Position (1D–1W)
Regime bias: Weeks where EWO lives above zero are net constructive; below zero are net distributive. Use that as a backdrop for adds/reductions at your higher-TF levels (Weekly AVWAP, composite VAL/VAH).
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Entry: At your level (from VP/AVWAP), take the side where EWO is on the correct side of zero and turning green (for longs) or red→green below zero for shorts? Careful—below zero, red means waning bear impulse. For shorts, you want EWO < 0 and increasing in magnitude (i.e., more negative) which still paints red in this script? Here’s the practical translation:
Longs: EWO > 0 and rising (green bar).
Shorts: EWO < 0 and falling (more negative vs prior bar). In this script, that also paints red—which is correct for building bearish impulse.
Manage: If your long was driven by EWO above zero, consider reducing when bars turn red repeatedly or EWO rolls back toward zero at your target node.
Invalidation: A zero cross against you after entry is a hard warning—tighten or exit unless higher-TF context strongly favors holding.
Stops: Place beyond the price level/structure you used, not on an EWO flip alone.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
MA Type (SMA / EMA / VWAP):
EMA: most responsive; great for scalping/fast intraday.
SMA: smoother; better for swings where you want fewer false wiggles.
VWAP (rolling VWMA): weights price by volume over your length—nice on pairs where volume behavior matters. (Note: this is a rolling VWMA, not an anchored session VWAP.)
Short/Long Lengths (default 5/35):
Shorter/faster (e.g., 4/20) → earlier flips, more noise.
Longer/slower (e.g., 8/50) → fewer but stronger signals.
Keep the ratio—something like 1:4 to 1:6—so the “bulge” is meaningful.
Zero-cross alerts: leave them on but treat as heads-up, not entries in isolation. You still want location + flow.
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Impulse bulge: Wide, consecutive bars above zero (mostly green) → trend leg in progress. Expect shallow pullbacks only.
Pullback reset: After a leg, EWO shrinks but stays above zero, then flips green again → pullback likely done.
No-juice breakout: Price pokes the level but EWO stays near zero / flips red quickly → skip the chase; look for reclaim setups.
Divergence at extremes: New price high with lower EWO peak → risk of fade to value (POC/AVWAP).
Combining EWO with other tools
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
Use EWO for impulse, CVDv1 for quality. Best trades line up as:
EWO > 0 and increasing + CVDv1 ALIGN = OK + Imbalance strong + Absorption ≠ red → take the breakout/retest.
If EWO says “go” but CVDv1 flags Absorption, don’t chase.
Volume Profile v3.2:
Use VAH/VAL/LVNs/POC as where. EWO tells you if the push has fuel to leave/enter value.
Example: VAL retest with EWO turning up → rotate to POC/HVN.
Anchored VWAP:
Reclaims are higher quality when EWO flips above zero on the reclaim bar and holds green on the first pullback.
(Optional mention in screenshots: show a VAH break where EWO bulges and CVDv1 shows Alignment OK—clean continuation.)
Common pitfalls EWO helps you avoid
Buying a break with no impulse: Zero-line hugs and shrinking bars tell you the fast MA isn’t pulling away—skip.
Fading a real leg: Wide, persistent bars on one side of zero = don’t fight; use pullbacks to value instead.
Confusing volume-weighted vs anchored VWAP: The “VWAP” choice here is a rolling VWMA over the lookback, not a session/event AVWAP. Use Anchored VWAP when you need the true event-anchored line.
Practical defaults to start with
MA Type: EMA
Short/Long: 5 / 35
Timeframes: works out of the box on 15m–4H; for 1–5m try 4/20; for daily swings try 8/50.
Keep zero-cross alerts on as an attention ping; still require location + flow.
Alerts (what they mean)
Bullish EWO Signal: EWO crossed above zero → bullish impulse engaged. Look for a retest at your level with CVDv1 quality before entry.
Bearish EWO Signal: EWO crossed below zero → bearish impulse.

Cycle Momentum Filter [JopAlgo]Cycle Momentum Filter (CMF) — spot “when” to engage the market, on any timeframe
Markets breathe in cycles (expansion → contraction) while momentum and trend decide which moves actually travel. CMF is a compact filter that blends those ideas so you can answer two questions before you click:
Is this a good moment to take a trade? (cycle position)
If I take it, is there enough force behind the move to carry it? (momentum + trend)
CMF does not replace your levels—use it with your location tools (e.g., Volume Profile v3.2 and Anchored VWAP). It simply keeps you out of entries taken at the wrong part of the swing or against weak momentum.
(When you add screenshots: image #1 should label each sub-line and the green/yellow/red background; image #2 can show CMF turning green at VAL + AVWAP before a rotation back to POC.)
What you’re seeing (and how to read it at a glance)
CMF draws five sub-lines around a zero line, plus a background color:
Cycle Oscillator (blue): where you are in the swing. Above zero ≈ cycle crest side; below zero ≈ trough side.
ROC % (purple): short-term price acceleration. Above zero = positive momentum; below zero = negative.
MACD Histogram (orange): classic impulse measure (fast–slow EMA gap). Above zero = bullish impulse.
EWO (cyan): Elliott Wave Oscillator (EMA fast – EMA slow). Above zero = trend tilt up.
RSI-MA (gray, plotted as RSI−50): smoothed RSI relative to 50. Above zero = buyers have the relative strength.
Background color = the filter result:
Green → bullish window: cycle favors longs and momentum/trend/RS confirm.
Red → bearish window: mirror logic.
Yellow → neutral: at least one piece disagrees—do less, or wait for alignment.
For new traders: Every sub-line crossing above/below zero is a yes/no vote. Green happens only when all bullish checks are true; red when all bearish checks are true.
How CMF is built (plain-English version)
Cycle (DPO-style): CMF subtracts a displaced SMA from price to remove trend and expose the swing. Below 0 = you’re on the dip side of the cycle; above 0 = rally side.
Momentum (ROC): percent change over roc_length bars; tells you if price is actually accelerating.
Impulse (MACD hist): measures push from fast vs slow EMAs.
Trend tilt (EWO): broader drift via two EMAs (fast/slow).
Participation bias (RSI-MA): smoothed RSI relative to 50 (plotted as RSI−50 so its zero line matches the others).
The signal rules are strict AND conditions:
Bullish = cycle < 0 and ROC > 0 and MACD hist > 0 and EWO > 0 and RSI-MA > 0.
Bearish = cycle > 0 and ROC < 0 and MACD hist < 0 and EWO < 0 and RSI-MA < 0.
Otherwise Neutral.
This strictness is deliberate: it cuts a lot of low-quality entries.
Using CMF on any timeframe
The framework is the same—only your anchors/targets change as you zoom.
Scalping (1–5m)
Where: VP v3.2 VAL/VAH/LVNs or Session AVWAP.
When: take longs when CMF turns green on/after a dip to your level; shorts when it turns red on/after a pop into resistance.
Skip: yellow reads in the middle of the range; that’s chop.
Tip: on very fast pairs, require two consecutive green/red bars before entry.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Use CMF green to time pullbacks to AVWAP or VA edges in the trend direction.
In balance days, wait for CMF color + level alignment to fade back to POC.
If CMF flips yellow after entry, tighten risk; if it flips against you, consider exiting early.
Swing (2H–4H)
Treat first green after a higher-timeframe pullback to Weekly AVWAP or composite VAL as your A-setup.
If CMF stays green through the first pullback, consider adding; the opposite for red in downtrends.
Position (1D–1W)
Fewer, bigger decisions: CMF green at Monthly/Quarterly AVWAP or at composite VAL suggests rotation toward POC/HVNs; CMF red at VAH suggests mean-reversion lower.
If CMF can’t turn green/red at key retests, that’s valuable: the level likely won’t hold.
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Entry: trade at a level when CMF just flips to your side (green for longs / red for shorts).
Invalidation: if CMF reverts to yellow immediately, it’s a warning; if it flips to the opposite color, that’s your soft stop condition—tighten or exit unless higher-timeframe context argues otherwise.
Targets: use Volume Profile v3.2 (POC/HVNs) and AVWAP (mean) for logical destinations.
Don’t use CMF alone for stops; place them beyond the level or structure.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
Cycle Length (default 20): swing detection.
Shorter (10–14): quicker flips, better for scalps.
Longer (30–40): steadier cycle for swings/position.
ROC Length (default 10): momentum lookback.
Shorter: earlier yes/no, more noise.
Longer: slower, more selective.
MACD Fast/Slow (5/13) & EWO Fast/Slow (5/35): impulse and drift.
Increase slow values to calm false flips; decrease fast to react sooner.
RSI Length (14) & Smoothing (5): participation tilt.
Reduce smoothing for faster confirmation; increase to avoid whips.
Background on/off: keep it on while learning; once you’re comfortable, you can hide the background and read the lines against zero.
Tuning tip: If you trade only a few coins, optimize Cycle and ROC first; leave MACD/EWO defaults. Then decide how strict you want RSI (try RSI smoothing = 3 for faster reads).
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Green at a dip-level (VAL/AVWAP) → rotate toward POC/HVN.
Red at a pop-level (VAH/AVWAP) → rotate down toward POC/HVN.
Color holds through the retest → continuation is more likely.
Color flips against the breakout → watch for failed break and reclaim.
Only one line disagrees (e.g., ROC < 0 while others > 0) → expect slower follow-through; consider waiting one bar.
Combining CMF with other tools
Volume Profile v3.2 :
Use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs for where. CMF answers when.
Green at VAL → mean-reversion long to POC.
Red at VAH → fade to POC.
LVN breaks with green often travel quickly to the next HVN.
Anchored VWAP :
Reclaim of AVWAP + CMF turns green → higher-quality long; rejection + red → cleaner short.
Weekly AVWAP + CMF color is a reliable swing compass.
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
CMF says “now”, CVDv1 says “how good”.
Prefer CMF green when CVDv1 Alignment = OK, Imbalance strong, Absorption ≠ red.
If CMF flips green but CVDv1 shows Absorption (red), do not chase; look for a reclaim instead.
Common pitfalls CMF helps you avoid
Buying high in the cycle: CMF keeps longs to when the cycle is on the dip side and momentum/trend agree.
Forcing trades on yellow: yellow is your do-less mode—wait for alignment.
Ignoring flow at levels: CMF gives the window, but quality still matters; confirm with CVDv1.
Practical defaults to start with
Cycle 20 | ROC 10 | MACD 5/13 | EWO 5/35 | RSI 14 (smooth 5)
Works out of the box on 15m–4H.
For scalps, try Cycle 14 / ROC 7–9 / RSI smooth 3.
For daily swings, Cycle 30–34 / ROC 12–14.
Alerts (what they tell you)
Bullish Signal: CMF turned green (all bullish checks passed). Use it as a heads-up; still anchor the entry to VP/AVWAP.
Bearish Signal: CMF turned red. Same rule: wait for the level.

Directional Indicator Crossovers [JopAlgo]Directional Indicator Crossovers — read trend intent at a glance, on any timeframe
Most traders ask two questions before they click: who’s in control right now and is control getting stronger or weaker?
The Directional Indicator (DI) answers the first one cleanly. +DI tracks upward directional movement; –DI tracks downward directional movement. When +DI crosses above –DI, buyers have the initiative; when –DI crosses above +DI, sellers do. DI Xover focuses on that simple, tradeable signal—the crossover—and keeps the pane uncluttered so you can layer it with your location/flow tools.
(If you add screenshots: image #1 can label +DI, –DI and a bullish crossover; image #2 can show a failed crossover in chop next to a successful one at a strong level.)
What you’re seeing (and how it’s built)
This indicator plots two lines in a separate pane:
+DI (green): smoothed positive directional movement.
–DI (red): smoothed negative directional movement.
Under the hood (length = 14 by default):
It measures how much today’s high exceeded yesterday’s high (up move) and how much today’s low fell below yesterday’s low (down move).
It keeps only the dominant side each bar (if up > down and up > 0 → up counts; vice-versa for down).
It normalizes by True Range (so moves are scaled by volatility) and smooths with RMA (so you don’t get jitter).
It raises alerts when +DI crosses above –DI (bullish) or –DI crosses above +DI (bearish).
How to read it, fast:
Cross up = buyers just took initiative.
Cross down = sellers just took initiative.
Wider distance between the lines = stronger control.
Lines braided/tight = balance/chop → expect more fake crosses.
DI is about directional control. It doesn’t tell you where to trade—that’s your location (e.g., Volume Profile, AVWAP). Use DI as a timing/confirmation layer, not as a standalone level generator.
Using DI Crossovers on any timeframe
The framework doesn’t change; only your expectations do as you zoom.
Scalping (1–5m)
Treat crossovers as triggers at levels. If price is tagging VAL/VAH/LVN (from Volume Profile v3.2) or Anchored VWAP, a fresh +DI cross up is your green light for a quick long; –DI cross up flips that logic for shorts.
Avoid taking every crossover mid-range—wait for location first.
In fast tape, require the lines to separate for 1–2 bars after the cross before you click.
Intraday (15m–1H)
In trend days, the first pullback into your level (POC/VA boundary/AVWAP) that prints a fresh +DI cross up is often the cleanest add/entry.
In balance days, fade DI crosses at edges back to POC—only if your flow tool isn’t screaming absorption against you.
Swing (2H–4H)
Look for confluence: at Weekly AVWAP or composite VAL/VAH, a DI crossover that stays separated for several bars is a solid momentum confirmation.
Failed crossover (lines recross quickly) near a level is a useful fail signal—expect a move back into value.
Position (1D–1W)
Use fewer, bigger signals: a weekly DI cross at Monthly/Quarterly AVWAP or at composite value edges marks a regime change.
Add on pullbacks when the controlling DI stays dominant (distance holds or widens).
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Entry (with level): wait for price to reach your level (e.g., VAL/VAH or AVWAP), then take the trade with the DI cross in that direction.
Filter: skip crosses when the two lines are braided (tiny separation) unless you’re trading a tight scalp with strict risk.
Exit / reduce: if your trade was based on a bullish cross, consider reducing when –DI recaptures +DI or the lines flatten at your target HVN/POC.
Stops: put them beyond the level (not just on a DI recross), but treat a fast recross as a warning to tighten.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
DI Length (default 14):
Shorter (7–10) = faster signals, more noise (good for scalps with filters).
Longer (20–30) = fewer but stronger signals (good for swing/position).
If you often see flip-flops, lengthen the setting or take crosses only at VP/AVWAP levels.
Pro tip: Define a minimum separation rule for yourself (e.g., after a cross, require the gap between +DI and –DI to increase on the next bar). You don’t need extra code for this—just enforce it visually.
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Cross + hold at a level: The lines cross at your level and keep separating → high-quality entry in that direction.
Sneaky fail: Cross, then immediate recross back → treat it as a fade signal back into value (especially near VAH/VAL).
Strength confirmation: After a breakout, +DI stays above –DI on pullbacks → trend is healthy; buy dips at AVWAP/POC.
Pre-move tell: DI lines unbraid and begin diverging before price leaves a range; wait for location + trigger.
Combining DI Xover with other tools
Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
Use DI for direction, and CVDv1 for quality. A bullish DI cross with ALIGN OK + Imbalance strong + no Absorption is a far better long than DI alone.
If DI crosses up but CVDv1 flags Absorption (red), don’t chase—look for the fail/reclaim instead.
Volume Profile v3.2 :
Let VP choose the battleground (POC/VAH/VAL/LVNs). Take the DI crossover at those references.
Classic: bearish DI cross at VAH → fade toward POC; bullish DI cross at VAL → rotate to POC—assuming CVDv1 isn’t vetoing with Absorption.
Anchored VWAP :
Treat reclaims/rejections of AVWAP as the location and DI cross as the trigger.
Example: price reclaims Weekly AVWAP, then on the next pullback, a +DI cross up confirms the add.
Common pitfalls this helps you avoid
Trading crosses in the middle of nowhere. DI is a trigger, not a level; wait for VP/AVWAP.
Chasing every wiggle. When the lines are braided, you’re likely in balance—expect fake crosses.
Ignoring flow. A DI cross against CVDv1 Absorption is often a trap; quality > quantity.
Practical defaults to start with
Length: 14
Timeframes: Works out of the box on 15m–4H. For 1–5m scalps try 10–12; for daily/weekly swings try 20–30.
Process: Only act on crosses at levels (VP v3.2 / Anchored VWAP), and prefer those where CVDv1 says ALIGN OK and no Absorption.
Alerts (what they tell you)
Bullish DI Crossover: +DI crossed above –DI → buyers just took initiative. Look to your chart for location and CVDv1 quality before entering.
Bearish DI Crossover: –DI crossed above +DI → sellers took initiative. Same rule: confirm at a level with flow.

Keltner Channels v1 [JopAlgo]Keltner Channels v1 — a clean volatility envelope for timing pullbacks, breakouts, and risk
Keltner Channels are a moving-average centerline with volatility-based bands above and below. They give you a live “speed limit” for price: when the market is calm, bands are tight (expect mean reversion); when volatility expands, bands widen (trend moves can breathe). KC v1 keeps the classic idea but adds a small twist that traders appreciate in crypto: an adaptive centerline that switches between EMA and SMA based on trendiness, plus a choice of how you measure volatility for the bands.
This makes KC v1 useful for any timeframe—from fast scalps to multi-day swings—because it answers three practical questions on every chart:
Where’s the “middle” of price right now? (the centerline)
How far is “far” for current volatility? (the bands)
Should I fade back to the middle or ride with the expansion? (context from band width + slope)
If you attach screenshots to your script page, show one image labeling Upper / Middle / Lower bands with a classic pullback-to-middle entry, and another showing a band expansion where price hugs the outer band in trend.
What you’re seeing (and how it’s computed)
Middle band (MA):
KC v5 computes both an EMA and an SMA of your source (default close) with the same length, then auto-selects the middle band:
If ATR > SMA(ATR) over length, KC marks the market as trending and uses the EMA (faster, responsive).
Otherwise, it uses the SMA (steadier) in balance.
Result: you get a centerline that’s calm in chop and snappier in trend, without touching settings.
Upper / Lower bands:
upper = middle + (mult × volatility)
lower = middle - (mult × volatility)
You choose the volatility measure via Bands Style:
Average True Range (default): smooth, robust; uses ATR(atrlength). Best all-around choice.
True Range: raw TR each bar (more jumpy; reacts to gaps and spikes quickly).
Range: RMA of (high - low) over length (gentler; good for tight mean-reversion regimes).
Colors & fill:
Upper = red, Lower = green, Middle = white, with muted fill between bands so you can still read candles.
How to use Keltner Channels on any timeframe
Same framework everywhere: trade with the envelope when expanding, fade back to the middle when contracting—but only at objective locations and with healthy flow.
Scalping (1–5m)
Pullback-to-middle entry: In a micro-trend, wait for price to retrace to the middle band and print a hold. Enter with the trend, stop just beyond the opposite side of the middle or below minor structure; first target is the near band.
Band tap fades (only in contraction): When bands are tightening and the middle is flat, quick fades from upper → middle or lower → middle are high-probability if your volume/flow read doesn’t show aggressive pressure against you.
Avoid: Fading when bands expand and middle slopes—expect continuation instead.
Intraday (15m–1H)
Continuation rides: When bands open up (volatility expansion) and the middle slopes, price often walks the outer band. Enter on minor pullbacks that hold above the middle (for longs) and trail using the middle band or a structure stop.
Squeeze to break: A period of narrowing bands often precedes a move. Let price close outside the channel with good flow, then buy the retest toward the middle that holds.
Swing (2H–4H)
Trend participation: In established trends, treat pullbacks to the middle band as your primary entry. The upper/lower band is not a take-profit by itself—use it with Volume Profile targets (POC/HVNs) or key swing levels.
Mean reversion in balance: When the middle is flat and bands are tight over many bars, fade outer band → middle at Volume Profile edges, provided your flow read isn’t showing absorption against your idea.
Position (1D–1W)
Context: Use KC to judge regime (wide bands + slope = trend; tight/flat = balance). Position entries come from pullbacks to middle that coincide with Weekly AVWAP / VP value edges.
Entries, exits, and risk (simple rules)
Trend entry (with expansion):
Wait for band expansion + sloping middle in your direction. Enter on the first clean pullback to middle (or shallow pullback that can’t even tag middle).
Stop: below the middle band or just beyond local swing.
Trail: by the middle band in trend, or step-trail under pivots.
Targets: next Volume Profile HVN/POC or structural levels; the far Keltner band is a context line, not a hard TP.
Mean-reversion entry (in contraction):
Bands tight + flat middle → fade outer band back to middle at a Volume Profile VA edge.
Stop: just beyond the band.
Target: middle band (first), opposite band if flow remains weak.
Breakout confirmation:
A strong close outside the band by itself can be a trap. Treat it as signal only when your flow read confirms (see “Combining with other tools”).
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune them)
MA Length (default 20): controls both middle smoothness and the trending test (ATR vs SMA(ATR)).
Shorter (10–14) reacts faster, more whips in chop.
Longer (30–50) steadier middle, better for swings/position.
Multiplier (default 2.0): scales band distance.
Crypto majors: 1.8–2.2 is a good starting range on 15m–4H.
Volatile alts: 2.2–2.6 to avoid over-triggering.
If you keep getting faked out on fades: increase the multiplier.
If the channel rarely contains price for long stretches: decrease slightly.
Bands Style:
ATR for most use cases;
TR when you want maximum responsiveness to spikes;
Range for calmer envelopes in slow, balanced markets.
ATR Length (default 10): only applies if you choose ATR for band style.
Shorter = quicker band changes, good for scalps;
Longer = steadier bands for swings.
Note: KC v1 auto-selects EMA vs SMA for the middle band using the ATR trend test. That’s intentional, so you don’t have to toggle it manually.
What to look for (pattern cheatsheet)
Walk-the-band: In expansion, price hugs the outer band and barely returns to the middle—ride, don’t fade.
First touch of middle in trend: Often the cleanest add or first entry after a breakout.
Band pinch (“squeeze”): A long, narrow channel with flat middle sets up a breakout. Wait for acceptance (close outside + hold on retest).
False break tell: Price pokes outside band but closes back inside quickly—watch for reversion to middle, especially if your flow read shows Absorption against the poke.
Combining KC v1 with other tools
like the Cumulative Volume Delta v1 (CVDv1):
Do not chase an outside-band move if CVDv1 shows Absorption—that’s a classic failed break.
Prefer pullbacks to the middle band when Alignment = OK and Imbalance % is strong in your direction.
Reclaim setups: after a poke outside the band, a CVD divergence on the return through the middle often precedes a mean-reversion run.
Volume Profile v3.2 :
Use VAH/VAL/LVNs for location. A pullback-to-middle that coincides with VA boundary is A-tier.
Breakouts through LVNs with expanding bands tend to travel fast toward the next HVN/POC—good for continuation targets.
(A great screenshot: KC middle kiss at VAL with CVDv1 Efficient, then a move to POC.)
Common pitfalls KC v1 helps you avoid
Fading expansion: Trying to short the upper band when bands are widening and middle slopes up is how you get steamrolled. KC tells you it’s not that kind of day.
Chasing inside contraction: Buying every tiny outside poke while bands are pinched leads to whips. Let acceptance form; buy the retest to middle that holds.
Stops too tight: In trend, volatility is elevated; stops need to live beyond the middle or behind structure, not right at the band.
Practical defaults to start with
Length: 20
Multiplier: 2.0 (adjust ±0.2–0.4 per asset)
Bands Style: ATR
ATR Length: 10
Timeframes: works out of the box on 15m–4H; for 1–5m scalps, consider length=14; for daily swings, length=30.

3SMA (1H only) by tophengzkyThis script plots three Simple Moving Averages (SMA 10, 20, 50), but they are only visible when the chart timeframe is set to 1 hour (1H).
It helps traders focus on higher timeframe trend direction without cluttering charts on other timeframes.
SMA1 = 10 (white)
SMA2 = 20 (yellow)
SMA3 = 200 (red)
Works only on 1H timeframe
Useful for swing traders and intraday traders who rely on hourly trend confirmation.
why 1 hr only? the only purpose of this is just to know the bias of the market weather it will reverse or it will continue the trend. As long as the price action did not cross this 3 SMA's the trend will continue.
as a trend trader it is very useful this strategy.. make it simple!
