Signals
Velocity and Acceleration SignalsThe "Velocity and Acceleration Signals" indicator is a versatile tool designed to provide traders with valuable insights into price momentum and acceleration. By harnessing the power of mathematics and visualization, this indicator helps traders make informed decisions in the fast-paced world of financial markets.
Crunching the Numbers: How It Works
At its core, the indicator relies on two key concepts: velocity and acceleration. Here's how it operates:
-- Velocity Calculation : The indicator takes a step back in time, considering a user-defined historical period (typically around 14 bars). It calculates the velocity of price movements during this period. Velocity represents the speed at which an asset's price is changing and is derived by examining how much the price has moved between bars. Specifically, it computes the rate of change in price over time.
-- Acceleration Calculation : Building upon velocity, the indicator goes one step further and calculates acceleration. Acceleration signifies how quickly the velocity is changing. It quantifies whether the price is speeding up or slowing down in its ascent or descent.
-- Smoothing with EMA : To enhance clarity and reduce noise, the indicator smooths the velocity using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with a user-defined length. This smoothed velocity provides a more comprehensive view of the price momentum trend.
Visualizing Market Dynamics
The indicator doesn't just crunch numbers; it also paints a vivid picture of market sentiment:
-- Coloration : The indicator employs a color scheme to visualize market conditions. It uses lime for positive acceleration and fuchsia for negative acceleration. The color green represents positive smoothed velocity, while red denotes negative smoothed velocity. A gray hue signals a neutral or transitional phase.
-- Plotting Velocity and Acceleration : The indicator provides visual representations of both smoothed velocity and acceleration. Smoothed velocity is depicted as columns, with green or red coloring indicating the direction. Acceleration is displayed as a histogram, with lime or fuchsia bars showcasing bullish or bearish momentum. A gray zero line offers a reference point for changes in momentum direction.
-- Strong Up and Strong Down Conditions : For traders seeking distinctive signals, the indicator identifies "Strong Up" and "Strong Down" conditions. A "Strong Up" occurs when smoothed velocity crosses above a user-defined threshold, coupled with positive acceleration. Conversely, a "Strong Down" emerges when smoothed velocity crosses below another threshold, accompanied by negative acceleration. These conditions are marked with prominent triangular shapes.
Unlocking Trading Potential
Now, let's explore how traders can leverage the indicator:
-- Trend Confirmation : Traders can use this indicator to validate the prevailing market trend. A robust smoothed velocity, combined with acceleration in the same direction, can confirm the current trend.
-- Contrarian Signals : Extreme conditions signaled by a strong crossover or crossunder of the smoothed velocity threshold, along with appropriate acceleration, can hint at potential trend reversals.
-- Divergence Analysis : Savvy traders can employ this indicator to identify divergences between price movements and momentum. If the price exhibits higher highs while the indicator shows lower highs (or vice versa), it may signify a weakening or strengthening trend.
Navigating Limitations
As with any trading tool, it's essential to acknowledge the indicator's limitations:
-- Lookback Period : The indicator's effectiveness may vary based on the chosen historical period. Longer periods smooth out fluctuations but may lag in capturing recent changes in sentiment.
-- Threshold Sensitivity : Interpreting threshold crossovers or crossunders can be subjective. Traders should carefully fine-tune these threshold values based on their trading strategy and market conditions.
-- Context Matters : The indicator focuses solely on velocity and acceleration signals and does not incorporate other critical factors such as trading volume, market news, or fundamental analysis. Therefore, traders should use it in conjunction with additional indicators and analysis techniques.
While the primary focus is on trend and momentum analysis, this indicator indirectly provides information about volatility as well. Rapid changes in velocity and acceleration can indicate increasing volatility in the market, which may be of interest to traders looking for opportunities during volatile conditions.
However, this indicator doesn't directly measure volume. To incorporate volume analysis into your trading strategy, you may want to combine this indicator with volume-based indicators or consider other tools specifically designed for volume analysis.
In conclusion, this indicator is a valuable ally for traders looking to decode market dynamics and make data-driven trading decisions. While it offers powerful insights, it's crucial to recognize its limitations and deploy it as part of a comprehensive trading strategy.
Breakout/Breakdown Indicator (30 Min Range) by InvestYourAsset👉The indicator provided here is a technical analysis indicator for TradingView users that identifies potential breakout and breakdown opportunities on the initial 30-minute range in every trading session.
👉The indicator high and low of the initial 30-minute period and plotting them as horizontal lines on the chart. The high is marked in green line and the low is marked in red line.
📈The indicator then generates buy and sell signals based on whether the current close price crosses above or below the previous 30-minute high and low, respectively.
📢The indicator also has two inputs:
👉 sessionStartHour : The hour at which the trading session begins. The default value is 9, However users can change the time according to their own trading style.
👉 sessionStartMinute : The minute at which the trading session begins. The default value is 0.
These inputs can be used to adjust the indicator to the specific trading session that you are interested in.
✅How to use the Indicator:
👉To use the 30 Minute Breakout/Breakdown Indicator, simply add it to your chart and configure the inputs to your liking. Once the indicator is added to the chart, it will plot the 30-minute high and low as horizontal lines, as well as generate buy and sell signals based on the current close price.
✅Here is a step-by-step guide:
📈Open TradingView and select the chart that you want to add the indicator to.
📈Click on the "Indicators" tab and search for "30 Minute Breakout/Breakdown Indicator by InvestYourAsset".
📈Click on the indicator to add it to your chart.
📈Configure the inputs to your liking. The default values are typically fine, but you can experiment with different values to see what works best for you.
📈Once you are satisfied with the settings, click on the "Apply" button.
📈The indicator will now be displayed on your chart. You will see two horizontal lines representing the previous 30-minute high and low, as well as triangles representing buy and sell signals.
✅How to interpret the signals:
📈Buy signal : A buy signal is generated when the current close price crosses above the previous 30-minute high. This suggests that the price is likely to continue moving higher in the short term.
📈Sell signal : A sell signal is generated when the current close price crosses below the previous 30-minute low. This suggests that the price is likely to continue moving lower in the short term.
👉Traders should remember that the present indicator is just one tool that can be used to identify potential trading opportunities. It is important to use other technical analysis tools and risk management techniques to confirm your trading signals before entering any trades.
✅Things to consider while using the indicator:
📈Look for buy signals in an uptrend and sell signals in a downtrend. This will increase the likelihood of your trades being successful.
📈Place your stop losses below the previous 30-minute low for buy signals and above the previous 30-minute high for sell signals. This will help to limit your losses if the trade goes against you.
📈Consider taking profits at key resistance and support levels. This will help you to lock in your profits and avoid giving them back to the market.

Trend Lines [LuxAlgo]Our new "Trend Lines" indicator detects and highlights relevant trendlines on the user chart while keeping it free of as much clutter as possible.
The indicator is thought for real-time usage and includes several filters as well as the ability to estimate trendline angles.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines can act as support/resistance, with a higher number of tests indicating a more significant support/resistance role.
A broken TrendLine can be indicative of a potential trend reversal. The script highlights breaks with a label.
Users can additionally filter trendlines, only showing trendlines whose angles fall within a user set range:
This allows for the removal of potential clutter from the chart but also helps keep steeper or more horizontal trendlines.
🔶 DETAILS
When a swing (pivot point) is found, a Trendline is drawn when certain conditions are fulfilled.
An essential condition is that a Bearish Trendline (red) always occurs on a lower high, while a Bullish Trendline (blue) occurs on a higher low.
Our implementation will first show an initial dotted-styled TrendLine on confirmation, after which a solid-styled secondary TrendLine will develop. The latter will be used for the real-time detection of breaks at that line:
Furthermore, the script allows you to add more conditions:
🔹 Length (Swings)
A swing develops when a high/low is the highest/lowest against x highs/lows on the left AND right of that bar. x can be set by "Length" in settings.
The following images clarify this. The script confirms a swing where the yellow flag is shown; the high (here visualized with a purple label) is the highest point against x bars left and right of that point.
At that moment, this swing is checked against the previous swing. If all conditions are fulfilled, an initial TrendLine is drawn on confirmation.
After that point, a secondary thicker solid line is seen which keeps progressing bar after bar, until:
• a new TrendLine is formed
• the TrendLine is broken
🔹 Breaks between Swings
Once there is confirmation that a TrendLine can be drawn, the script allows you to filter for breakthroughs on that line. This can be set with "Check breaks between"
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced:
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points:
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar):
🔹 TrendLine breaks
As mentioned, the secondary TrendLine (solid line) progresses bar after bar until a new TrendLine is formed or the TrendLine is broken. When a TrendLine is broken, the TrendLine stops progressing, but if there isn't a new TrendLine and price return back, the TrendLine will re-appear, potentially giving several signals when the TrendLine is broken again.
Minimal bars allow you to regulate the amount of signals when the TrendLine is broken.
-> The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
The following example shows 1 signal against 3 by adjusting this setting from 2 to 5:
🔹 Angles
Angles should normally be calculated when the units of the X and Y axis are the same. However, on our charts, the unit of the X-axis is bar_index (bars), and on the Y-axis the unit is price (¥, €, £, $,...).
It is not easy to normalize and create reasonably valid angles. Often certain angle calculations can differ through price changes or volatility.
Our calculate_slope() function tries to make corresponding angles through all bars.
We do this by calculating the difference between the highest/lowest price values in a certain bar range. The bar range is our X-axis, and the price difference is our Y-axis.
Zooming in/out will not change the amount of bars or the price. Since it does change our view on the chart, and thereby how we see the angles, we have included a setting where you can personalize the ratio between X and Y-axis (Angles -> Ratio X-Y axis).
Settings: Angles - Ratio X-Y axis:
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Swings
Length: Lookback period for the detection of swing points.
🔹 Trendline validation
Check breaks between :
Disabled : the initial TrendLine is allowed to be pierced
Check breaks between point A - point B : no breaks are allowed between both Swing points
Point A - Current bar : no breaks are allowed between the first Swing point and the point of confirmation ('current' bar)
Source (breaks) : Source which invalidates TrendLine, default: close
🔹 TrendLine breaks
Minimal bars : The secondary TrendLine must be uninterrupted for at least x bars before a potential break can be considered.
🔹 Angles
Show : Toggle labels.
Ratio X-Y axis : Every user has his preferences regarding zoom, chart layout,...
If the shown angles are not according to your expectations, you can adjust this number.
Only TrendLine between : Only allow TrendLines between the minimum and maximum degrees. Set only the minimal and maximum values above 0.
Machine Learning: Donchian DCA Grid Strategy [YinYangAlgorithms]This strategy uses a Machine Learning approach on the Donchian Channels with a DCA and Grid purchase/sell Strategy. Not only that, but it uses a custom Bollinger calculation to determine its Basis which is used as a mild sell location. This strategy is a pure DCA strategy in the sense that no shorts are used and theoretically it can be used in webhooks on most exchanges as it’s only using Spot Orders. The idea behind this strategy is we utilize both the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows within a Machine Learning standpoint to create Buy and Sell zones. We then fraction these zones off into pieces to create Grids. This allows us to ‘micro’ purchase as it enters these zones and likewise ‘micro’ sell as it goes up into the upper (sell) zones.
You have the option to set how many grids are used, by default we use 100 with max 1000. These grids can be ‘stacked’ together if a single bar is to go through multiple at the same time. For instance, if a bar goes through 30 grids in one bar, it will have a buy/sell power of 30x. Stacking Grid Buy and (sometimes) Sells is a very crucial part of this strategy that allows it to purchase multitudes during crashes and capitalize on sales during massive pumps.
With the grids, you’ll notice there is a middle line within the upper and lower part that makes the grid. As a Purchase Type within our Settings this is identified as ‘Middle of Zone Purchase Amount In USDT’. The middle of the grid may act as the strongest grid location (aside from maybe the bottom). Therefore there is a specific purchase amount for this Grid location.
This DCA Strategy also features two other purchase methods. Most importantly is its ‘Purchase More’ type. Essentially it will attempt to purchase when the Highest High or Lowest Low moves outside of the Outer band. For instance, the Lowest Low becomes Lower or the Higher High becomes Higher. When this happens may be a good time to buy as it is featuring a new High or Low over an extended period.
The last but not least Purchase type within this Strategy is what we call a ‘Strong Buy’. The reason for this is its verified by the following:
The outer bounds have been pushed (what causes a ‘Purchase More’)
The Price has crossed over the EMA 21
It has been verified through MACD, RSI or MACD Historical (Delta) using Regular and Hidden Divergence (Note, only 1 of these verifications is required and it can be any).
By default we don’t have Purchase Amount for ‘Strong Buy’ set, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be viable, it simply means we have only seen a few pairs where it actually proved more profitable allocating money there rather than just increasing the purchase amount for ‘Purchase More’ or ‘Grids’.
Now that you understand where we BUY, we should discuss when we SELL.
This Strategy features 3 crucial sell locations, and we will discuss each individually as they are very important.
1. ‘Sell Some At’: Here there are 4 different options, by default its set to ‘Both’ but you can change it around if you want. Your options are:
‘Both’ - You will sell some at both locations. The amount sold is the % used at ‘Sell Some %’.
‘Basis Line’ - You will sell some when the price crosses over the Basis Line. The amount sold is the % used at ‘Sell Some %’.
‘Percent’ - You will sell some when the Close is >= X% between the Lower Inner and Upper Inner Zone.
‘None’ - This simply means don’t ever Sell Some.
2. Sell Grids. Sell Grids are exactly like purchase grids and feature the same amount of grids. You also have the ability to ‘Stack Grid Sells’, which basically means if a bar moves multiple grids, it will stack the amount % wise you will sell, rather than just selling the default amount. Sell Grids use a DCA logic but for selling, which we deem may help adjust risk/reward ratio for selling, especially if there is slow but consistent bullish movement. It causes these grids to constantly push up and therefore when the close is greater than them, accrue more profit.
3. Take Profit. Take profit occurs when the close first goes above the Take Profit location (Teal Line) and then Closes below it. When Take Profit occurs, ALL POSITIONS WILL BE SOLD. What may happen is the price enters the Sell Grid, doesn’t go all the way to the top ‘Exiting it’ and then crashes back down and closes below the Take Profit. Take Profit is a strong location which generally represents a strong profit location, and that a strong momentum has changed which may cause the price to revert back to the buy grid zone.
Keep in mind, if you have (by default) ‘Only Sell If Profit’ toggled, all sell locations will only create sell orders when it is profitable to do so. Just cause it may be a good time to sell, doesn’t mean based on your DCA it is. In our opinion, only selling when it is profitable to do so is a key part of the DCA purchase strategy.
You likewise have the ability to ‘Only Buy If Lower than DCA’, which is likewise by default. These two help keep the Yin and Yang by balancing each other out where you’re only purchasing and selling when it makes logical sense too, even if that involves ignoring a signal and waiting for a better opportunity.
Tutorial:
Like most of our Strategies, we try to capitalize on lower Time Frames, generally the 15 minutes so we may find optimal entry and exit locations while still maintaining a strong correlation to trend patterns.
First off, let’s discuss examples of how this Strategy works prior to applying Machine Learning (enabled by default).
In this example above we have disabled the showing of ‘Potential Buy and Sell Signals’ so as to declutter the example. In here you can see where actual trades had gone through for both buying and selling and get an idea of how the strategy works. We also have disabled Machine Learning for this example so you can see the hard lines created by the Donchian Channel. You can also see how the Basis line ‘white line’ may act as a good location to ‘Sell Some’ and that it moves quite irregularly compared to the Donchian Channel. This is due to the fact that it is based on two custom Bollinger Bands to create the basis line.
Here we zoomed out even further and moved back a bit to where there were dense clusters of buy and sell orders. Sometimes when the price is rather volatile you’ll see it ‘Ping Pong’ back and forth between the buy and sell zones quite quickly. This may be very good for your trades and profit as a whole, especially if ‘Only Buy If Lower Than DCA’ and ‘Only Sell If Profit’ are both enabled; as these toggles will ensure you are:
Always lowering your Average when buying
Always making profit when selling
By default 8% commission is added to the Strategy as well, to simulate the cost effects of if these trades were taking place on an actual exchange.
In this example we also turned on the visuals for our ‘Purchase More’ (orange line) and ‘Take Profit’ (teal line) locations. These are crucial locations. The Purchase More makes purchases when the bottom of the grid has been moved (may dictate strong price movement has occurred and may be potential for correction). Our Take Profit may help secure profit when a momentum change is happening and all of the Sell Grids weren’t able to be used.
In the example above we’ve enabled Buy and Sell Signals so that you can see where the Take Profit and Purchase More signals have occurred. The white circle demonstrates that not all of the Position Size was sold within the Sell Grids, and therefore it was ALL CLOSED when the price closed below the Take Profit Line (Teal).
Then, when the bottom of the Donchian Channel was pushed further down due to the close (within the yellow circle), a Purchase More Signal was triggered.
When the close keeps pushing the bottom of the Buy Grid lower, it can cause multiple Purchase More Signals to occur. This is normal and also a crucial part of this strategy to help lower your DCA. Please note, the Purchase More won’t trigger a Buy if the Close is greater than the DCA and you have ‘Only Purchase If Lower Than DCA’ activated.
By turning on Machine Learning (default settings) the Buy and Sell Grid Zones are smoothed out more. It may cause it to look quite a bit different. Machine Learning although it looks much worse, may help increase the profit this Strategy can produce. Previous results DO NOT mean future results, but in this example, prior to turning on Machine Learning it had produced 37% Profit in ~5 months and with Machine Learning activated it is now up to 57% Profit in ~5 months.
Machine Learning causes the Strategy to focus less on Grids and more on Purchase More when it comes to getting its entries. However, if you likewise attempt to focus on Purchase More within non Machine Learning, the locations are different and therefore the results may not be as profitable.
PLEASE NOTE:
By default this strategy uses 1,000,000 as its initial capital. The amount it purchases in its Settings is relevant to this Initial capital. Considering this is a DCA Strategy, we only want to ‘Micro’ Buy and ‘Micro’ Sell whenever conditions are met.
Therefore, if you increase the Initial Capital, you’ll likewise want to increase the Purchase Amounts within the Settings and Vice Versa. For instance, if you wish to set the Initial Capital to 10,000, you should likewise can the amounts in the Settings to 1% of what they are to account for this.
We may change the Purchase Amounts to be based on %’s in a later update if it is requested.
We will conclude this Tutorial here, hopefully you can see how a DCA Grid Purchase Model applied to Machine Learning Donchian Channels may be useful for making strategic purchases in low and high zones.
Settings:
Display Data:
Show Potential Buy Locations: These locations are where 'Potentially' orders can be placed. Placement of orders is dependant on if you have 'Only Buy If Lower Than DCA' toggled and the Price is lower than DCA. It also is effected by if you actually have any money left to purchase with; you can't buy if you have no money left!
Show Potential Sell Locations: These locations are where 'Potentially' orders will be sold. If 'Only Sell If Profit' is toggled, the sell will only happen if you'll make profit from it!
Show Grid Locations: Displaying won't affect your trades but it can be useful to see where trades will be placed, as well as which have gone through and which are left to be purchased. Max 100 Grids, but visuals will only be shown if its 20 or less.
Purchase Settings:
Only Buy if its lower than DCA: Generally speaking, we want to lower our Average, and therefore it makes sense to only buy when the close is lower than our current DCA and a Purchase Condition is met.
Compound Purchases: Compounding Purchases means reinvesting profit back into your trades right away. It drastically increases profits, but it also increases risk too. It will adjust your Purchase Amounts for the Purchase Type you have set at the same % rate of strategy initial_capital to the amounts you have set.
Adjust Purchase Amount Ratio to Maintain Risk level: By adjusting purchase levels we generally help maintain a safe risk level. Basically we generally want to reserve X amount of % for each purchase type being used and relocate money when there is too much in one type. This helps balance out purchase amounts and ensure the types selected have a correct ratio to ensure they can place the right amount of orders.
Stack Grid Buys: Stacking Buy Grids is when the Close crosses multiple Buy Grids within the same bar. Should we still only purchase the value of 1 Buy Grid OR stack the grid buys based on how many buy grids it went through.
Purchase Type: Where do you want to make Purchases? We recommend lowering your risk by combining All purchase types, but you may also customize your trading strategy however you wish.
Strong Buy Purchase Amount In USDT: How much do you want to purchase when the 'Strong Buy' signal appears? This signal only occurs after it has at least entered the Buy Zone and there have been other verifications saying it's now a good time to buy. Our Strong Buy Signal is a very strong indicator that a large price movement towards the Sell Zone will likely occur. It almost always results in it leaving the Buy Zone and usually will go to at least the White Basis line where you can 'Sell Some'.
Buy More Purchase Amount In USDT: How much should you purchase when the 'Purchase More' signal appears? This 'Purchase More' signal occurs when the lowest level of the Buy Zone moves lower. This is a great time to buy as you're buying the dip and generally there is a correction that will allow you to 'Sell Some' for some profit.
Amount of Grid Buy and Sells: How many Grid Purchases do you want to make? We recommend having it at the max of 10, as it will essentially get you a better Average Purchase Price, but you may adjust it to whatever you wish. This amount also only matters if your Purchase Type above incorporates Grid Purchases. Max 100 Grids, but visuals will only be shown if it's 20 or less.
Each Grid Purchase Amount In USDT: How much should you purchase after closing under a grid location? Keep in mind, if you have 10 grids and it goes through each, it will be this amount * 10. Grid purchasing is a great way to get a good entry, lower risk and also lower your average.
Middle Of Zone Purchase Amount In USDT: The Middle Of Zone is the strongest grid location within the Buy Zone. This is why we have a unique Purchase Amount for this Grid specifically. Please note you need to have 'Middle of Zone is a Grid' enabled for this Purchase Amount to be used.
Sell:
Only Sell if its Profit: There is a chance that during a dump, all your grid buys when through, and a few Purchase More Signals have appeared. You likely got a good entry. A Strong Buy may also appear before it starts to pump to the Sell Zone. The issue that may occur is your Average Purchase Price is greater than the 'Sell Some' price and/or the Grids in the Sell Zone and/or the Strong Sell Signal. When this happens, you can either take a loss and sell it, or you can hold on to it and wait for more purchase signals to therefore lower your average more so you can take profit at the next sell location. Please backtest this yourself within our YinYang Purchase Strategy on the pair and timeframe you are wanting to trade on. Please also note, that previous results will not always reflect future results. Please assess the risk yourself. Don't trade what you can't afford to lose. Sometimes it is better to strategically take a loss and continue on making profit than to stay in a bad trade for a long period of time.
Stack Grid Sells: Stacking Sell Grids is when the Close crosses multiple Sell Grids within the same bar. Should we still only sell the value of 1 Sell Grid OR stack the grid sells based on how many sell grids it went through.
Stop Loss Type: This is when the Close has pushed the Bottom of the Buy Grid More. Do we Stop Loss or Purchase More?? By default we recommend you stay true to the DCA part of this strategy by Purchasing More, but this is up to you.
Sell Some At: Where if selected should we 'Sell Some', this may be an important way to sell a little bit at a good time before the price may correct. Also, we don't want to sell too much incase it doesn't correct though, so its a 'Sell Some' location. Basis Line refers to our Moving Basis Line created from 2 Bollinger Bands and Percent refers to a Percent difference between the Lower Inner and Upper Inner bands.
Sell Some At Percent Amount: This refers to how much % between the Lower Inner and Upper Inner bands we should well at if we chose to 'Sell Some'.
Sell Some Min %: This refers to the Minimum amount between the Lower Inner band and Close that qualifies a 'Sell Some'. This acts as a failsafe so we don't 'Sell Some' for too little.
Sell % At Strong Sell Signal: How much do we sell at the 'Strong Sell' Signal? It may act as a strong location to sell, but likewise Grid Sells could be better.
Grid and Donchian Settings:
Donchian Channel Length: How far back are we looking back to determine our Donchian Channel.
Extra Outer Buy Width %: How much extra should we push the Outer Buy (Low) Width by?
Extra Inner Buy Width %: How much extra should we push the Inner Buy (Low) Width by?
Extra Inner Sell Width %: How much extra should we push the Inner Sell (High) Width by?
Extra Outer Sell Width %: How much extra should we push the Outer Sell (High) Width by?
Machine Learning:
Rationalized Source Type: Donchians usually use High/Low. What Source is our Rationalized Source using?
Machine Learning Type: Are we using a Simple ML Average, KNN Mean Average, KNN Exponential Average or None?
Machine Learning Length: How far back is our Machine Learning going to keep data for.
k-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) Length: How many k-Nearest Neighbours will we account for?
Fast ML Data Length: What is our Fast ML Length?? This is used with our Slow Length to create our KNN Distance.
Slow ML Data Length: What is our Slow ML Length?? This is used with our Fast Length to create our KNN Distance.

HAPPY TRADING!
Manual Buy&Sell Alerts [Starbots]This is a simple Strategy created to help you manually execute open or close orders via Alerts on Exchanges or Platforms.
More and more Exchanges and Platforms allow Tradingview Alert trading and sometimes we come to a problem that we can not sell an open order on the exchanges other way than signaling a sell or buy from Tradingview Alerts.
This is a tool to solve that problem as your are able to manually:
- send alert on limit targets (Long limit target, Short limit target, Take Profit limit target, Stop Loss limit target)
- send alert when new live bar opens on the market (simple way for closing your open trades on the Exchange/Platform - it will sell your open Long/Short order after new live bar is opened on the market)
Functions:
- 🕛Start
Define a start time for strategy to open/close trades
- 🕐Stop Trading after your Order is Closed
If you wish to stop opening/closing trades after your first position is successfully closed keep this turned on. If you wish to keep opening/closing trades indefinitely when the conditions are met keep this turned off.
🏁Buy&Sell By Limit Target
-Buy Price
-Take Profit
-Stop Loss
-🟢Enable Long Limit Orders
-🔴Enable Short Limit Orders
If you enable Enable Long or Short limit orders you will be able to execute trades when the price reaches your limit target lines.
Please Note that if you turn on Shorting, your Take Profit limit target must be 'UNDER' your buy price and Stop Loss limit target must be 'ABOVE' your buy price.
Type in your limit values manually or re-apply the strategy to your chart to select limit targets again with a mouse - you can also drag the limit lines to your wanted areas.
(I recommend using low time-frame charts - 30s, 1minute for fast executions)
🏁Buy&Sell After New Bar Opens
-🟢Open Long
-Close Long on a new Open Bar
-🔴Open Short
-Close Short on a new Open Bar
This is a simple way for closing your open trade on Exchanges. If you select Open Long/Short and then Close Long/Short on a new Open bar it will sell your open order and send sell alert when the new bar is opened on the market. Choose your time-frame and execute immediate sell order when a new bar is opened. You can select low 15s-30s-1minute charts to quickly get a sell alert.
Alerts
Long Message
Short Message
Exit Long Message
Exit Short Message
You can type in your webhook alert messages in this inputs. Write this code in 'Message' when creating Alert for strategy to send your Buy/Sell messages from above inputs.
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
If you trade on exchanges and use different dynamic alert message to trade from Strategies, then you can just leave Alert inputs empty and write down your message alert in 'Message' box when creating new alert normally.
>> Do not forget to also set order size and pyramiding in properties tab correctly in this case.

Smart Money Breakouts [ChartPrime]The " Smart Money Breakouts " indicator is designed to identify breakouts based on changes in character (CHOCH) or breaks of structure (BOS) patterns, facilitating automated trading with user-defined Take Profit (TP) level.
the indicator incorporates essential elements such as volume analysis and a data table to assist traders in optimizing their strategies.
🔸 Breakout Detection:
The indicator scans price movements for "Change in Character" (CHOCH) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) patterns, signaling potential breakout opportunities in the market.
🔸User-Defined TP :
Traders can customize the Take Profit (TP) through the indicator settings, with these levels dynamically calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows for precise risk management and profit targets that adapt to market volatility.
🔸 Volume Analysis and Trade Direction Specific Analysis:
The indicator includes a volume checker that provides valuable insights into the strength of the breakout, taking into account trade direction.
🔸If the volume label is red and the trade is long, it suggests a higher likelihood of hitting the Stop Loss (SL).
🔸If the volume label is green and the trade is long, it indicates a higher probability of hitting the Take Profit (TP).
🔸For short trades, a red volume label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting TP, while a green label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting SL.
🔸A yellow volume label suggests that the volume is inconclusive, neither favoring bullish nor bearish movements.
🔸Data Table:
The indicator features a data table that keeps track of the number of winning and losing trades for specific timeframes or configurations.
This table serves as a valuable tool for traders to analyze performance and discover optimal settings and timeframes.
The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator provides traders with a comprehensive solution for breakout trading, combining technical analysis of changes in character and breaks of structure, volume insights, and performance tracking while dynamically adjusting TP and SL levels based on market volatility through the ATR.
Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Range Breakout Signals (Intrabar) is a novel indicator highlighting trending/ranging intrabar candles and providing signals when the price breaks the extremities of a ranging intrabar candles.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator highlights candles with trending intrabar prices, with uptrending candles being highlighted in green, and down-trending candles being highlighted in red.
This highlighting is affected by the selected intrabar timeframe, with a lower timeframe returning a more precise estimation of a candle trending/ranging state.
When a candle intrabar prices are ranging the body of the candle is hidden from the chart, and one upper & lower extremities are displayed, the upper extremity is equal to the candle high and the lower extremity to the candle low. Price breaking one of these extremities generates a signal.
The indicator comes with two modes, "Trend Following" and "Reversal", these modes determine the extremities that need to be broken in order to return a signal. The "Trend Following" mode as its name suggests will provide trend-following signals, while "Reversal" will aim at providing early signals suggesting a potential reversal.
🔶 DETAILS
To determine if intrabar prices are trending or ranging we calculate the r-squared of the intrabar data, if the r-squared is above 0.5 it would suggest that lower time frame prices are trending, else ranging.
This approach allows almost obtaining a "settings" free indicator, which is uncommon. The intrabar timeframe setting only controls the intrabar precision, with a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe returning more intrabar data as a result, this however might not necessarily affect the displayed information by the indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Intrabar Timeframe: Timeframe used to retrieve the intrabar data within a chart candle. Must be lower than the user chart timeframe.
Auto: Select the intrabar timeframe automatically. This setting is more adapted to intraday charts.
Mode: Signal generation mode.
Filter Out Successive Signals: Allows removing successive signals of the same type, returning a more easily readable chart.
YinYang MomentumOverview:
YinYang Momentum is a Price, Volume and Momentum Oscillator. Its job is to help you see swings in momentum and the strength of it. It also creates signals (Blood Diamond (Bear) and Support Cross (Bull)) where these momentum swings may occur. YinYang Momentum features 3 Price and 3 Volume 'Mountains with Ice'. There are Predictive, Regular and Confirming Mountains. You have the ability to overlay them on top of each other which helps to decipher momentum swings. The Volume Mountains are very important for showing the strength behind the Price Mountains and their Signals. If you look, you'll notice, as the 'Ice' starts to curve into the 'Mountains' it signals a potential shift in Momentum. The green Mountain is the Predictive, the Blue is the Regular and the Purple is the Confirming. You'll also notice that the Predictive Mountains movements happen first and move much more drastically. When you notice the regular starts to follow suit, there is a potential for a momentum shift. Shortly after, a signal will occur if this shift is actually happening. You can also check the Confirming Mountain for more confirmation (however, leaving the Confirming Mountain active can be a little confusing and make it harder to read signals). YinYang Momentum also features Information Tables. These tables display how the Blood Diamonds and Support Cross' are fairing on different Timeframes. This way, you'll be able to see if it's in a Bullish or Bearish state on critical Time Frames no matter what Timeframe you're trading on.
Before we move onto the tutorial, let's discuss what each of these Mountains and Ice are and how they work. All of our Mountains and Ice are calculated using the same algorithm but with varying sources, lengths and multipliers. We are essentially calculating differences in movement and then sending those differences into an EMA for the Mountain Base and SMA for the mountain Ice. The values we use for the Predictive are much lower and therefore occur much quicker as they aren’t averaged out on longer lengths/time frames; this helps to make it more of a leading Indicator which may predict momentum changes. Our Regular is over a medium length and multipliers that result in a smooth but generally also gradual movement that helps reliability; this helps it act as more of an ‘in the now’ Indication of momentum changes. Our Confirming uses lengths and multipliers that are of a higher value and longer span; this makes it more difficult to use for determining entry / exit locations as it's more of a lagging indicator, but it helps to add confirmation as to whether the momentum change has occurred and wasn't a false signal.
Tutorial:
YinYang Momentum may look like a lot is going on.. And well that’s cause there is.. But that doesn’t mean it's confusing or hard to read once you know what you’re looking for!
To make this tutorial a little easier to understand, let's turn off a few settings and dissect this indicator one thing at a time. YinYang Momentum features Price and Volume mountains. Currently in the photo above we have 2 Price Mountains and 1 Volume Mountain turned on (this is how it's set by default and how we recommend using it), however there are 3 Mountains available for both Price and Volume:
Predictive
Regular
Confirming
We are going to deactivate everything so it's the Regular Price Mountain + Ice enabled.
Now that it is just the Regular Price Mountain and Ice it is much easier to teach and understand. As you can see there are two different colors on the mountain. The dark blue is the Mountain and the light blue is the Ice.
The Ice moves before the mountain does and when the momentum happens it is larger than it (below or above). When the momentum starts to change however, the Ice curves inside of the mountain. As you can see here, where the BUY signal (red cross) is, the Ice curves into the mountain; also where the SELL signal (red circle) is, the Ice curves into the mountain. The Ice curving into the mountain is a very important leading indication that momentum is changing and the Signals (crosses and diamonds) help solidify this momentum change.
The Index levels for YinYang Momentum is a little different than most oscillators that range from 0-100. Instead YinYang Momentum’s neutral level is 0 and it ranges from -100 to 100. For these reasons, the Viable Range for Buying is -40 to -70 and the Optimal Range for Buying is -70 to -100. For Selling, the Viable Range is 40 to 70 and the Optimal Range is 70 to 100.
If you look at the example above, you can see whenever it has been in the optimal range and the signal occurred, it may potentially be an amazing time to buy or sell. However, when it is within the Viable Range it can be hit or miss. The reason for this is because we are only looking at the Regular Price Mountain and Ice. Once we turn on the Predictive Price and Regular Volume we will have a much clearer idea as to what is noise and what is a true purchase signal. Why don’t we turn on Predictive Price Mountains and Ice so you can see what we’re talking about:
So there are 2 big things that changed when we added the predictive price mountains + ice.
We can see that where the orange circle is, is just noise, it isn’t a viable buy signal.
We can see that where the red circle is, is actually a better spot to sell than the previous marked white circle slightly to the right of it.
We will explain why both above are true, but first let's explain how we were able to deduce this information.
There are 5 rules when deciphering if the signal is a true signal or just noise.
You want the predictive mountain to be decently spaced out from the regular mountain. Refer to the example above how that should look. Remember it's predictive so with parabolic movements it will get quite spaced out. If the price went up but slowly, it generally won’t be as spaced and isn’t as strong of a signal predictor.
You want the Ice to be of a decent size and to curve in on both the Predictive and Regular Mountains. Both arrows (red and white circle arrows) are pointing to Ice that does just that. The Predictive mountain is of decent size and spaced out and the Ice curves in sharply on the Predictive, before curving in sharply on the Regular and then we get both Predictive and Regular Support Cross on the Same Bar.
When you get the Signals (Predictive and Regular) the amount of bars between them matters a lot! On the same Bar is ideal, however 1-2, max 3 bars between them is acceptable. Any more than 3 bars spacing and it's too risky of a signal because that means momentum change was happening but then stopped before picking back up. This doesn’t mean it can’t be a good signal, it just means it is much more risky and we don’t recommend it.
You don’t want Signal Clustering. You can see an example of this from the picture above. Signal Clustering is where signals are back to back over and over. During this time the momentum is in a consolidation phase and easily swaps back and forth between signals. These signals are not reliable and should not be traded on. We only want to act on clear momentum based signals.
Last but certainly not least, actually, the most important! Ensure that the Mountain + Ice for both the Predictive and Regular is at the bare minimum touching (preferably inside) the Viable Range. The Optimal range is best, but most mountains don’t make it that far. Viable Range is where you will make most of your trades from. Sometimes a great signal happens with all 5 of these rules but it is only touching the Viable Range right at 40 or -40. This CAN be okay, but is also much more risky than if it was at 50 to 60 or -50 to -60.
Based on the 5 rules mentioned, take a second and look back at the photo where we initially added the Predictive Price mountains and Ice, can you decipher why the orange circle is just noise, and can you see why the red circle is a better sell location than the white circle slightly to the right of it?
Let’s bring that photo back up now and let’s discuss this:
Let's start with the orange circle:
This orange circle, without the predictive, was hard to tell if it was a good location to buy or not, but the second we turned it on we could clearly see it was just noise.
The spacing between the Predictive mountains and the Regular is almost non-existent.
There was signal clustering shortly before this signal.
Remember, there doesn’t have to be many rules broken for a signal to be either too risky or not valid at all. The safest trades are ones where it meets the requirements of all 5 rules (6 once we talk about volume, but 5 price rules).
Now, let's discuss the red circle:
This red circle, although it could have been chosen with just the regular, was much more noticeable with the predictive added on top.
It has a perfect spacing between the Predictive and the Regular all the way to the peak.
The Ice is large and both curve in very nicely towards the mountains.
The signals are within 2 bars apart from each other.
There is no signal clustering.
The Predictive is within the Viable Range and the Regular is just touching it.
For these reasons, the red circle actually would have been where you sold and not the white circle beside it.
This pretty much covers the Price Mountains, but wait! The most important Cherry on Top to your decision making process is coming next!
We have just enabled our Regular Volume Mountains and Ice (which are the black mountains + ice). As you can see, we have circled what we call the ‘Perfect Combo’. This Perfect combo is when you have all 5 Price rules met COMBINED with a high volume mountain. The Volume Mountain and Ice act as strength. They aren’t biased towards bulls or bears, they simply show strength to whatever signal is present with it.
For example, if all 5 rules are met with Price on a Blood Diamond (Bear) Signal and there is a High Volume Mountain then this is also a ‘Perfect Combo’. That Blood Diamond signal will potentially have great strength behind it. The Viable and Optimal Ranges don’t apply to volume mountains. Any volume mountain, even close to the Viable Range, is considered to be a very high mountain. High volume is when the mountain is above 0 and low volume is when it's below 0. Any signal with low volume has less of a chance of being correct, regardless of whether it abides by all 5 price rules.
You can see here that the 5 Price rules are achieved but the volume mountain is low. It is at -25. Since the 5 Price rules are right, there is still a decent amount of accuracy to this signal and the price did plummet after, but not nearly as much as it would have if the volume mountain was high with it.
We have turned our Confirming Price Mountain on here so you can get an idea of what it looks like and how it’s used. If you refer to the Support Crosses and Blood Diamonds circled in white, you’ll see that although they both received their signals on the Predictive and Regular, neither of them received it on the Confirming. This shows that these signals lost momentum shortly after. However if you look at both the red and green circles, you’ll see that they both received their confirming signals and that it helped give those signals momentum. The Confirming Price Mountain is meant to help confirm if the momentum change is still on track and the max 3 bars from the regular signal rule still applies to it. However its height within the viable and optimal range is important, just not as relevant
Before we move on to our Information Tables we want to take a second just to discuss our Volume Mountains and Ice. We haven’t had a chance yet to discuss the Predictive or Confirming Volume. When it comes to our Volume Mountains + Ice, we don’t recommend having more than 1 on at a time. The reason we have included the Predictive and Confirming is in case you find they suit your Trading Style best, not necessarily to be used the same way the Price Mountains and Ice are. The main reason for this is due to the fact that the Volume Mountains are much smaller and when overlaid on top of each other can make a confusing blur that is hard to decipher.
In this example above we have enabled both Predictive and Regular Volume just so you can understand what we are talking about. The two together can be rather confusing and actually interfere with your decision making process. For this reason, we highly recommend finding the Volume Mountain that suits your trading style best and solely sticking to that.
Our Predictive Volume Mountains and Ice may help sense volume changes before they’ve even happened. This can be very useful if your Trading Style revolves around heavy volume changes.
Our Confirming Volume Mountains and Ice are much slower and smaller, but they help show the movement of volume that has occurred already. This can be used to help see the movement of volume without fearing it may or may not happen.
Our Information Tables are there to show you valuable information on whether it is in a state of Support Cross or Blood Diamond on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. The % it shows you displays how much of a price change has occurred since that signal has happened. It is important to note, if for instance you see it is in a state of Support Cross but the % is negative, this generally means it is going to switch to Blood Diamond soon and vice versa. Therefore if you are in a trade, especially on a lower Time Frame and you are watching the 1 Day or a higher Time Frame and notice that the % is getting less and less, it may be a good time to get out.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. If you have any Questions, Concerns, Suggestions or Comments please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Settings:
1. Show Predictive to Confirmed Trendline:
The Predictive to Confirmed Trendline is very useful for seeing when the predictive (Support Cross or Blood Diamond) has hit the confirmed (It’s a strong confirmation that the trend may be shifting). This trendline also features a Moving Average which helps give you a solid marker for when the Regular / Predictive mountains cross under or over it that a momentum swing may occur. Somewhat like when the RSI crosses above/below its Moving Average it dictates momentum change, that is likewise how to interpret when it happens with the mountains and this trendline.
2. Show Price Ice and Mountains based on:
The Price Ice and Mountains are very important when it comes to deciphering signal strength. For example, When the mountains are very low (regular and predictive) and are between the 2 red line (undervalued) or even possibly below the bottom red line, and the Ice on the mountains starts to curve into the mountains and then the Predictive and Regular Support Cross occur; this is a very strong Bullish Signal. But wait, that's not all, the cherry on top is when the volume mountain (black) is ALSO high while this occurs; the Volume Mountain adds Strength to the signal. When the volume mountain is high too during this ‘Perfect Combo’ this may potentially lead to very bullish price movement occurring soon. Here is an overview of each mountain:
2.1. Predictive: Are the least reliable, but they move first and nothing will move without the predictive moving first, and getting you ready.
2.2. Regular: Are the most accurate, they don't signify strength on its own, but they sure show some momentum.
2.3. Confirming: Are slightly behind when it comes to displaying data, and therefore shouldn't be used for entry / exit, but rather to show if the trend movement has truly been confirmed or not.
When the Ice starts to curve into the Mountain, (either upward or below) it signifies possible momentum change. There are Crosses (Bull), and Diamonds (Bear) to show when they've crossed. Cross' and Diamonds balance each other out and therefore there can never be more than 1 in a row (of the same type). When the Ice and Mountain size is very large (between 40 and 70), and the predictive Ice starts to curve into its mountain, and then the predictive curves into the Regular, and the Regular Ice is curving into its Mountain, then it may have some strong weight behind that signal. IMPORTANT: refer to Volume tooltip below for how to increase the signal strength even more.
3. Show Volume Ice and Mountains based on:
The Volume Ice and Mountains are for giving strength to the Price's signals and Size. When there is the perfect combo (described above) AND the Volume Ice + Mountain is high, then there may be a lot of strength to that Price signals (whether it is Cross (Bull), or Diamond (Bear)).
IMPORTANT: High volume mountains, unlike Price, don't mean good or bad. Volume shows strength to the Price, and therefore if there are high Volume mountains during a Diamond (Bearish), then there may be a lot of strength to that signal and vice versa.
4. Show Information Tables:
Information tables are used to display 6 different Time Frames and whether or not each time frame is in a state of Blood Diamond (red) or Support Cross (green). They also show how much % in price has changed since the current signal happened. These are very useful for seeing how the price is fairing on different Time Frames without having to constantly change your timeframe. For instance, maybe you base your entry off the 1 day time frame but then you swing trade on the 15 minute. Well, after you’ve confirmed your entry position and are sitting on the 15 minute, you can stay on the 15 minute and see how it is fairing on the 1 day, 5 minute or whatever time frame you choose. This way you aren’t distracted from the trade at hand. All of these Time Frames can be adjusted in the Settings (GUI) to whatever resolution you wish.
5. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
HAPPY TRADING!
YinYang VolumeOverview:
YinYang Volume is an Advanced Volume Indicator. Regular Volume can be deceiving. It can be hard to tell how much of the Volume bar is Buy vs Sell volume, especially since the bar is green or red simply based on if it closes at a greater price than it opened. With YinYang Volume you'll be able to see how much Buy AND Sell Volume there is on each bar. Being able to see both is very useful, but the cherry on top is the Buy and Sell Moving Average Lines. These lines (White is Buy and Orange is Sell) can show who is currently winning the fight, Bulls or Bears. When the lines cross it's a shift in momentum and when combined with other technical analysis you can better understand the direction the market is moving and make an informed and educated trading decision. YinYang Volume also has Information tables, these tables display the Buy vs Sell volume on different Timeframes. This way even if you're trading on a Low Timeframe (like 15 minutes) you can see how the Buy vs Sell volume is fairing on other Timeframes.
Tutorial:
Unlike most volume indicators, including standard volume, we can see both Buy AND Sell volume for each bar. You may be wondering, well what’s the importance of this? The answer is EVERYTHING! Volume is one of the most important indicators when it comes to trading. Nothing moves without volume. However, with standard volume, the bar is either red or green simply based on if it closes greater than it opens. Now, that is pretty silly if you ask us. Let’s get into depth as to why seeing both Buy and Sell volume is important, and examples for how you can make trades with it:
In this example above, we have 2 green bars and they both have high levels of volume. This bar on the right however, has more volume than the one on the left. The issue here is, the bar on the right has MORE Sell volume than it even does have Buy volume; meanwhile the bar on the left has way more buy volume than the bar on the right with little sell volume. Without separating them and by simply looking at the price bar and regular volume bar, we would never be able to deduce this. It is crucial to understand and see how much of each volume there is as it plays a huge role in the price movements.
The white line represents the Buy Volume Moving Average and the orange line represents the Sell Volume Moving Average. These moving averages are very useful as when they cross they represent strong Buy and Sell Signals.
We’ve enabled signals which plot circles onto the MA’s to display when they’ve crossed. The white circle represents a Buy Signal and the Orange circle represents a Sell Signal. These signals are very strong, but there is a catch that comes with it. The bar right after the signal has the highest chance of a reversal so it isn’t always advised to make the trade until confirmed that the reversal didn’t happen on the following bar. If you have enough data based on other technical analysis to know the first signal is true, then use it as a way to solidify the fact that it is a good entry/exit location.
You can change the length of which the MA’s are smoothed out over. For instance, in the previous examples and by default the length is 14. However, if we are to change it to 50 for instance, it makes them a longer lasting MA that has much fewer crosses. This can be useful based on your trading style and if you prefer to stay in trades for quite awhile. As you can see, all signals with the 50 length are quite accurate and would have produced profitable trades, likely more so than at 14, but since it moves slower there's fewer signals to trade on.
Our Information Tables are there to show you the amount of Buy vs Sell %’s on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. It can be very useful to know how people are feeling on different Time Frames without you having to change your own. This way you can stay on say the 15 minute Time Frame locked in your trade and can see if the momentum of your long trade is cooling down based on higher Time Frames Buy vs Sell volume %’s.
For example, let's say you got an alert from YinYang Volume for Buy Signal on the 1 Day. You then entered a trade which you deemed a good location on the 15 minutes (after doing your own technical analysis on the 15 minute too). The Buy vs Sell Volume %’s on the 1 Day was 55% Buy and 45% Sell when you entered the trade. You are still waiting for exit confirmation on the 15 minute but you notice the Buy vs Sell Volume % on the 1 Day goes down to 52% Buy and 48% Sell. You can see the momentum changing. Even though you haven’t received confirmation for exit on the 15 minute, it may still be a good time to get out as momentum is clearly changing on the 1 Day.
We will conclude this Tutorial here. We hope you’ll get some good use out of our Volume Indicator and its ability to display unique Volume Data. If you have any Questions, Comments, Suggestions or Concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Settings:
1. Show Signals:
Toggling this setting shows when the Buy and Sell Volume MA’s cross each other. It produces a white circle when the Buy Volume Crosses over the Sell Volume (BULLISH) and an orange circle when the Sell Volume Crosses over the Buy Volume (BEARISH).
2. Length:
How far back should we average the Buy and Sell Volume Moving Averages? 14 is default has been tested and proven to work well, however you can change it if there is a different value that suits your trading style better.
3. Type:
How is the Moving Averages calculated? VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average) is the default as it has been tested and worked best; afterall, we are calculating volume and therefore should use a volume weighted MA calculation. However, you can change it as your options are:
VWMA, EMA and SMA
4. Information Tables:
4.1. Show Information Tables:
Our Information tables display 6 different resolutions so you can see how much Buy vs Sell volume there is as a % in multiple different Time Frames without having to change your Time Frame.
4.2. Strength:
The Buy / Sell Volume %’s displayed within your Information Tables are based on Moving Averages. The length this moving average uses is based on the Strength you select. The strengths aren’t as simple as just a length amount but are a calculation involving multiple different lengths and averages. However, the stronger the strength, generally the farther the lookback length is as an average. Your options for strength are:
Unbreakable
Very Strong
Strong
Average
Weak
Very Weak
Glass
We recommend ‘Average’ Strength, however if you find you want to see the %’s change more or less frequently you can adjust to your trading style
4.3. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
HAPPY TRADING!
YinYang Fear and Greed Index (FGI)Overview:
YinYang Fear and Greed Index is used for seeing how people are feeling towards the current price. It works similar to an RSI, but fluctuates differently. Essentially you want to be Greedy when the Index displays Fear and Fearful when it displays Greed. Our Indicator displays a Green Circle (Greed Signal) on the YinYang Fear and Greed Index when there is a large amount of Greed at this price point. It displays a Red Circle (Fear Signal) when there is a large amount of Fear. The Fear and Greed Signals can happen at any Fear and Greed Index but generally they correlate with the Index level. The Fear and Greed Signals are much more important at dictating a swing in momentum than the actual Index itself. The Index is more of a guide and is useful for seeing when the Index level crosses the Ma (the yellow line) as you can see a shift in momentum. However for large swings in momentum, the Fear and Greed Signals should be used. Do NOT Ignore these signals, they are quite powerful at predicting momentum swings.
Tutorial:
As you can see, the Fear and Greed Index looks somewhat similar to an RSI, but it has the ability to gain drastic momentum when there are strong changes in Fear and Greed.
When it comes to identifying buy/sell locations you generally want to ensure 2 things:
For a buy, the Fear and Greed Index (FGI) is less than 30.
For a sell, the FGI is greater than 70.
A signal has occurred. For buy that is the red circle and for sell that is the green circle.
The reason we generally want to ensure these 2 rules is to ensure you have the highest chance of being right with the lowest risk of being wrong. The way you want to use this indicator is; Be Fearful when others are Greedy and Greedy when others are Fearful.
There will be times when a fear or greed signal appears when the index is between 30-70. When these occur, they are still generally strong signal locations that represent a high chance of momentum in the direction they signal, however they face a higher risk of being wrong and therefore shouldn’t be used on its own to make a trade.
In the photo above we can see that the FGI’s color changed from Red to Orange in the candle after the Fear Signal. This happened because there was high price movement right after it (which is normal) and caused the Fear level to drop.
The color the FGI displays is based not off the FGI but by the STATE it is currently in. When the color is Green it is in a state of HIGH GREED, when the color is Red it is in a state of HIGH FEAR. When the color is Teal it is in a state of SLIGHT GREED, when the color is Orange it is in a state of SLIGHT FEAR. These colors hold true for the Information Tables as well.
As we can also see from the example above, it is 100% possible to have a state of HIGH GREED when the FGI is low. For instance look at the Fear (BUY) signals circled. Right before the Fear Signals happened, it was in a state of HIGH GREED (Green). The opposite is also true with Fear. We can have a high state of Fear when the FGI is high. However, please do remember, the lowest risk and best time to make trades is still:
FGI is higher than 70 and there is a Greed Signal = SELL
FGI is lower than 30 and there is a Fear Signal = BUY
You may notice there are sometimes occurrences that we call ‘Oddballs’. These oddballs are quite rare but they do happen and when they do they’re generally in clusters (close together). These Oddballs are when a Greed Signal occurs when the FGI is very low or when a Fear Signal occurs when the FGI is very high. Basically, they are occurring in the opposite location that they are supposed to. These may not seem like they matter but they matter a lot. As you can see based on where the blue vertical lines are, the price moved in the direction the signal identified shortly after the signal.
You may be wondering, are Oddball’s stronger price influencers than the regular signal? The issue with Oddballs is they sometimes CAN BE. But generally they aren’t. They generally do signal price movement will occur in the direction they are influencing, but generally not as much movement as if it occurred properly (Fear signal under 30 or Greed signal above 70).
The takeaway from Oddballs is to acknowledge their existence and potentially use them as markers for smaller purchases or DCA locations. We don’t recommend treating them as a legitimate purchase signal as they generally are weaker and less predictable, but nevertheless don’t dismiss them.
Our Information Tables are there to show you the FGI on 6 different Time Frames at the same time. This can be very useful for knowing how the other Time Frames are fairing while you are trading without needing to constantly change the Time Frame you are on.
For example, you see a Fear Signal on the 1 Day Time Frame, you then swap to the 15 minute Time Frame to find your entry location. Well, once you’re locked into that trade, you’ll likely be fixated on the 15 minute Time Frame. There’s a chance while you’re still waiting for your exit that levels and states of the FGI could change on higher Time Frames. This could drastically influence when and where your exit on the lower Time Frame should be.
This concludes our Tutorial on how to use YinYang Fear and Greed Index (FGI). However, continue reading for a description and better understanding of the Settings available to you for customization within this Indicator.

1. Information Tables:
1.1. Show Information Tables:
Our Information Tables display 6 different Time Frames (resolutions) so that you can see the current level of Fear and Greed (FGI) that is prevalent on each Time Frame. There are 4 different states the FGI can be in:
Fear (Red)
Minor Fear (Orange)
Greed (Green)
Minor Greed (Teal)
The color of each Time Frame Cell (on Oscillator and in the table) is based on the following:
Red: Red represents that it is currently in a state of Fear. When it is in a state of fear it means traders are being overly bearish and selling when they likely shouldn’t. While it is in a state of Fear, there is a high chance of BULLISH price movement occurring. Remember, Be Fearful when others are Greedy and Greedy when others are Fearful.
Orange: Orange represents that it is currently in a state of Minor Fear. Minor Fear means that the FGI is less than 50, but it’s not currently in a state of Fear or Greed. While it is in this state, there is a better chance for BULLISH price action than there is bearish but it's nowhere near as likely as when in a state of Fear.
Green: Green represents that it is currently in a state of Greed. When it is in a state of Greed, it means traders are being overly bullish and buying when they shouldn’t. While it is in a state of Greed, there is a high chance of BEARISH price movement occurring.
Teal: Teal represents that it is currently in a state of Minor Greed. Minor Greed means that the FGI is greater than 50, but it’s not currently in a state of Fear or Greed. While it is in this state, there is a better chance for BEARISH price actions than there is bullish; but it’s nowhere near as likely as when its in a state of Greed.
2. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
Our Fear and Greed Index can be very useful for understanding how people are feeling in the market and when large price swings will occur. Remember, Be Greedy when others are Fearful and Fearful when others are Greedy!

YinYang RSIYinYang RSI is a Momentum Oscillator. It is loosely based on the standard RSI but uses our Custom True Value Zone Algorithm. Essentially it is a stronger, more accurate RSI that isn't manipulated by consolidation. YinYang RSI moves slightly slower than the standard RSI but when it does move it is much more accurate.
Why do we deem YinYang RSI to be a more accurate RSI? Well, let's discuss some of the underlying logic behind it. YinYang RSI is derived from the High and Low data from multiple Security Requests, we send that data into a modified Donchian Channel to calculate its Basis. That basis is then taken and averaged between multiple different VWMA calculations to ‘Smooth’ it out before we send it into an RSI calculation and display the final results.
This may sound a little confusing and you may be wondering, why bother doing this? The main reason we created the YinYang RSI is to remove the fact that consolidation causes Regular RSI to go down in index value. In our opinion RSI shouldn’t go down due to consolidation. By removing consolidation from RSI it innately made the RSI more smooth and since it became more smooth there were less times it crossed the RSI Moving Average (MA). In turn, since it crosses the RSI MA less, it means when it does cross the RSI MA, it is a much stronger more accurate signal; but don’t just take our word for it! Let’s get into some examples to show you exactly how it works:
Our RSI is very smooth, because of the way we apply VWMA to it, it keeps it from being a jagged line like the regular RSI is:
Our Indicator features 3 RSI’s in it: YinYangRSI, Regular RSI and YinYang Stoch RSI. The reason there are 3 is not only for the Information Tables (we will talk about this later), but also for the fact that you can overlay them on top of each other.
Here is the same dates but with Regular RSI:
Hopefully you can see how different they are and how smooth ours is, but if not, lets overlay them so you get a better idea:
When the YinYang RSI and Regular RSI are overlaid on top of each other, the Regular RSI’s colors change for easier readability. The Regular RSI turns Pink and the Regular RSI MA turns Orange. As you can see here, they function much differently and it is quite clear that the YinYang RSI holds itself during consolidation and is more smooth.
You may be asking yourself, this is great and all, but how does it help me trade?
Well, now that you understand the difference between YinYang and Regular RSI let's discuss exactly that!
So as you can see in the image above, when the RSI crosses the RSI MA it represents a strong movement in price is likely about to occur. When the RSI is very low (20 or less) and it crosses ABOVE the RSI MA, this represents a BUY/LONG signal. When the RSI is very high (80 or above) and it crosses BELOW the RSI MA, this represents a SELL/SHORT signal.
There are times where it is a good time to buy or sell, but the RSI may not be in the right place. This is rare but it does happen. We marked a location that did exactly that with an Orange circle in the picture above. These things happen, however we don’t recommend you act on them. The main reason is that they are much more risky. Nothing will ever be 100% accurate, but the key is making decisions that are more in your favor than not. When the RSI and RSI MA cross and the RSI is near 50, it's much less accurate, however, not impossible for it to be a good signal.
Now you may be wondering, how come I see 2 SELL or 2 BUY signals before the RSI moves a lot? This is quite normal. Based on the picture above, all of the BUY and SELL signals are accurate, but not all of them have insane price movements. However, they all did feature SOME price movements. Just because a BUY or SELL (RSI and RSI MA crossing) happens, doesn’t mean the RSI is going to move all the way from 80 to 20, sometimes the price only moves a bit and then corrects back. This is completely normal.
The part that is up to you is knowing when to exit these trades. You can use the YinYang RSI to see entry locations for Long/Short, but it can be risky to assume that you can go from a BUY right to a SELL and vice versa.
Don’t fret, there is a reason we have our YinYang Stoch RSI within this indicator and its not just because we felt like it! When you overlay the YinYang RSI and YinYang Stoch RSI on top of each other, you can get a very good idea of when a signal may be over and likely it’s a good time to get out. However, first, just so you understand what our YinYang Stoch RSI does, let's take a quick look at it.
At first glance, the YinYang Stoch RSI can look pretty strange and even overwhelming, this is completely normal. It features drastic movements, but only when there is good reason to! When the blue line (K) crosses the orange line (D) it represents momentum in price. So when the blue line crosses above the orange line it means BUY and when the blue line crosses below the orange line it means SELL.
How it works with the YinYang RSI is simple, lets toggle the two of them on together in the settings:
It may look a little confusing at first, and we don’t necessarily recommend you do it for your entry as it can be a little too much and sometimes confusing, but it can be very helpful for understanding your exit and if the momentum has changed/died down. Here's an example based on our initial BUY/SELL image above:
So since we’re talking about the double SELL signal and how to know if its momentum is ending we’ve zoomed in on this example. Here we can see where the pink circle is, that the YinYang Stoch RSI has gained buy momentum and the sell momentum has likely ended here. This is canceled out however, by the fact that shortly after we see another SELL signal combined with the Stoch RSI crossing under and also showing SELL momentum. The blue Vertical lines are to show visually where the stoch crossed over/under as they can be a little hard to see visually. Also, based on this example, you can see where the orange circle is that was clearly a very good buy location and also has the stoch crossover in that location too. So even though the RSI isn’t very low, there is still a decent amount of bullish momentum in that location. Is this enough for you to make a purchase on? In our opinion, it’s still a little too risky, but maybe it fits your trading style, or maybe you decide its a good time to Dollar Cost Average / purchase just a small amount.
Now, you may be wondering, as we mentioned it early, what are those Information Tables that have been sitting on the right of every example?
These Information Tables are there to display very important Time Frame data for you. Not only can you see 6 Different Time Frames, which you can customize within your Settings. You also get to see the level of RSI and RSI MA for YinYang, Regular and YinYang Stoch RSI. Being able to see this data on multiple different Time Frames without having to change the Time Frame you are on can be very helpful, especially if you’re trading on a lower Time Frame like 15 minutes. The color of the box is based on if the RSI has crossed the MA or not. When the box is Green, the RSI is greater than the MA (Bullish). When the box is Red, the RSI is less than the MA (Bearish).
This concludes our Tutorial on how to use YinYang RSI, below you will see all of our current Settings, what they all mean and how you can customize them.
Settings:
1. Show Signals:
Signals are when the RSI crosses the RSI MA (for any RSI TYPE active). When these crosses happen, it will make a plot on the chart that represents Buy and Sell Signals. These signals have alerts that correspond with them, but you will manually need to set up these alerts yourself through the indicator. Please refer to TradingView for how to set up alerts.
2. RSI Type:
We have 3 types of RSI’s within this Indicator:
YinYang RSI
Regular RSI
YinYang Stoch RSI
These RSI’s can be used individually or overlaid on top of each other for easier comparison. It can be useful to go back and forth between indicators or have them overlaid to get a better understanding of what's going on.
2.1. YinYang RSI:
Our YinYang RSI is our custom RSI that is based on our True Value Zone Algorithm. It is the main purpose of this Indicator but can be used in conjunction with Regular RSI and YinYang Stoch RSI. YinYang RSI is a much more smooth, slow moving form of RSI that doesn’t go down from consolidation and therefore makes the RSI and RSI MA crosses much more accurate.
2.2. Regular RSI:
This is a regular RSI that is within our indicator so you can make comparisons and also overlay on top of our YinYang RSI and/or YinYang Stoch.
2.3. YinYang Stoch RSI:
This is a Stoch RSI that is calculated with our YinYang RSI’s values to create a very unique Stoch RSI. Our YinYang Stoch RSI moves very drastically and quickly when there is true momentum swings but it never really hovers in the middle. It makes its way from 0-100 and 100-0 within 2-3 candles usually and if it makes it all the way, you know there is momentum backing this price movement.
3. Information Tables:
3.1. Show Information Tables:
Our Information tables display 6 different Time Frame resolutions to give you the data of YinYang RSI/MA, Regular RSI/MA and Stoch RSI/MA over multiple different Time Frames so you don’t constantly have to keep changing yours and can focus on the trade at hand.
You can choose to display:
‘All’,
‘None’,
‘YinYang RSI’,
‘Regular RSI’,
‘YinYang Stoch RSI’
and/or any combination of the three so you can see all the data you want to your liking.
3.2. Display Tables Direction:
Since there are 6 different Time Frames shown, and you have the ability to display all 3 RSI and MA values, this table can get pretty big. If you have a large monitor and not too many indicators active it's no big deal and a vertical display is likely what you’ll want. However, if you have a smaller monitor or many Indicators active, it will scrunch this Indicator and make it difficult to see all of your Time Frames in the tables. For this reason, we have the option to display them ‘Horizontally’.
3.3. Res1 / Res2/ Res3 / Res4 / Res5 / Res6:
These represent the different resolutions (Time Frames) being used in your information tables and can be modified to display whatever resolution works best for your trading style. By default they are:
Res1: Current Timeframe
Res2: 15 Minute
Res3: 1 Hour
Res4: 4 Hour
Res5: 1 Day
Res6: 1 Week
Backup Res (not changeable): 5 Minute (this is only used if your Current Timeframe in Res1 is a duplicate of one of the other resolutions)
Alerts are available and customizable within the Indicator. You can set up an alert for any of the RSI crossing Signals.

YinYang RSI Volume Trend StrategyThere are many strategies that use RSI or Volume but very few that take advantage of how useful and important the two of them combined are. This strategy uses the Highs and Lows with Volume and RSI weighted calculations on top of them. You may be wondering how much of an impact Volume and RSI can have on the prices; the answer is a lot and we will discuss those with plenty of examples below, but first…
How does this strategy work?
It’s simple really, when the purchase source crosses above the inner low band (red) it creates a Buy or Long. This long has a Trailing Stop Loss band (the outer low band that's also red) that can be adjusted in the Settings. The Stop Loss is based on a % of the inner low band’s price and by default it is 0.1% lower than the inner band’s price. This Stop Loss is not only a stop loss but it can also act as a Purchase Available location.
You can get back into a trade after a stop loss / take profit has been hit when your Reset Purchase Availability After condition has been met. This can either be at Stop Loss, Entry or None.
It is advised to allow it to reset in case the stop loss was a fake out but the call was right. Sometimes it may trigger stop loss multiple times in a row, but you don’t lose much on stop loss and you gain lots when the call is right.
The Take Profit location is the basis line (white). Take Profit occurs when the Exit Source (close, open, high, low or other) crosses the basis line and then on a different bar the Exit Source crosses back over the basis line. For example, if it was a Long and the bar’s Exit Source closed above the basis line, and then 2 bars later its Exit Source closed below the basis line, Take Profit would occur. You can disable Take Profit in Settings, but it is very useful as many times the price will cross the Basis and then correct back rather than making it all the way to the opposing zone.
Longs:
If for instance your Long doesn’t need to Take Profit and instead reaches the top zone, it will close the position when it crosses above the inner top line (green).
Please note you can change the Exit Source too which is what source (close, open, high, low) it uses to end the trades.
The Shorts work the same way as the Long but just opposite, they start when the purchase source crosses under the inner upper band (green).
Shorts:
Shorts take profit when it crosses under the basis line and then crosses back.
Shorts will Stop loss when their outer upper band (green) is crossed with the Exit Source.
Short trades are completed and closed when its Exit Source crosses under the inner low red band.
So, now that you understand how the strategy works, let’s discuss why this strategy works and how it is profitable.
First we will discuss Volume as we deem it plays a much bigger role overall and in our strategy:
As I’m sure many of you know, Volume plays a huge factor in how much something moves, but it also plays a role in the strength of the movement. For instance, let’s look at two scenarios:
Bitcoin’s price goes up $1000 in 1 Day but the Volume was only 10 million
Bitcoin’s price goes up $200 in 1 Day but the Volume was 40 million
If you were to only look at the price, you’d say #1 was more important because the price moved x5 the amount as #2, but once you factor in the volume, you know this is not true. The reason why Volume plays such a huge role in Price movement is because it shows there is a large Limit Order battle going on. It means that both Bears and Bulls believe that price is a good time to Buy and Sell. This creates a strong Support and Resistance price point in this location. If we look at scenario #2, when there is high volume, especially if it is drastically larger than the average volume Bitcoin was displaying recently, what can we decipher from this? Well, the biggest take away is that the Bull’s won the battle, and that likely when that happens we will see bullish movement continuing to happen as most of the Bears Limit Orders have been fulfilled. Whereas with #2, when large price movement happens and Bitcoin goes up $1000 with low volume what can we deduce? The main takeaway is that Bull’s pressured the price up with Market Orders where they purchased the best available price, also what this means is there were very few people who were wanting to sell. This generally dictates that Whale Limit orders for Sells/Shorts are much higher up and theres room for movement, but it also means there is likely a whale that is ready to dump and crash it back down.
You may be wondering, what did this example have to do with YinYang RSI Volume Trend Strategy? Well the reason we’ve discussed this is because we use Volume multiple times to apply multiplications in our calculations to add large weight to the price when there is lots of volume (this is applied both positively and negatively). For instance, if the price drops a little and there is high volume, our strategy will move its bounds MUCH lower than the price actually dropped, and if there was low volume but the price dropped A LOT, our strategy will only move its bounds a little. We believe this reflects higher levels of price accuracy than just price alone based on the examples described above.
Don’t believe us?
Here is with Volume NOT factored in (VWMA = SMA and we remove our Volume Filter calculation):
Which produced -$2880 Profit
Here is with our Volume factored in:
Which produced $553,000 (55.3%)
As you can see, we wen’t from $-2800 profit with volume not factored to $553,000 with volume factored. That's quite a big difference! (Please note previous success does not predict future success we are simply displaying the $ amounts as example).
Now how about RSI and why does it matter in this strategy?
As I’m sure most of you are aware, RSI is one of the leading indicators used in trading. For this reason we figured it would only make sense to incorporate it into our calculations. We fiddled with RSI for quite awhile and sometimes what logically seems to be the right way to use it isn’t. Now, because of this, our RSI calculation is a little odd, but basically what we’re doing is we calculate the RSI, then turn it into a percentage (between 0-1) that can easily be multiplied to the price point we need. The price point we use is the difference between our high purchase zone and our low purchase zone. This allows us to see how much price movement there is between zones. We multiply our zone size with our RSI multiplication and we get the amount we will add +/- to our basis line (white line). This officially creates the NEW high and low purchase zones that we are actually using and displaying in our trades.
If you found that confusing, here are some examples to why it is an important calculation for this strategy:
Before RSI factored in:
Which produced 27.8% Profit
After RSI factored in:
Which produced 553% Profit
As you can see, the RSI makes not only the purchase zones more accurate, but it also greatly increases the profit the strategy is able to make. It also helps ensure an relatively linear profit slope so you know it is reliable with its trades.
This strategy can work on pretty much anything, but you should tweak the values a bit for each pair you are trading it with for best results.
We hope you can find some use out of this simple but effective strategy, if you have any questions, comments or concerns please let us know.
HAPPY TRADING!
Signal to Noise TrendSignal to Noise Ratio
The Signal to Noise Ratio or SNR is used to assess the quality of information or data by comparing the strength of a useful signal to the presence of background noise or random variations.
In Finance the SNR refers to the ratio of strength of a trading signal to the background noise. A high SNR suggest a clear and reliable signal, meanwhile a low SNR indicates more noise (random fluctuations, volatility, or randomness).
Signal To Noise Trend
This indicator basically calculates the signal to noise of returns and then gets the Z-Score of the signal to noise ratio to find extremes levels of signal and noise. The Lines basically are standard deviations from the mean. 1,2,3 Are standard deviations same with the -1,-2,-3 Lines.
The signal is expressed as the positive Z-Score value, and the Noise is the negative Z-Score Value.
The moving average enhances the indicator ability to display the trend of returns and the trend strength. It provides a smooth representation of the Signal to Nose Ratio values.
There are more trending conditions when there is a higher signal, and there is more "ranging" conditions when there is more noise present in the markets.
The Standard deviations help find extreme levels of signal and noise. If the noise reaches the standard deviation of -3 then that means that there is a extreme negative deviation from the mean, and this would be a rare occurrence, with a lot of noise. This could indicate a potential reversion in market states, and could be followed by a trending move.
Another example is that if the Z-Score value reaches a Standard deviation of 3, this could mean that there is extremely strong and rare signal, and could potentially mean a change to a more noisy environment soon.
Relational Quadratic Kernel Channel [Vin]The Relational Quadratic Kernel Channel (RQK-Channel-V) is designed to provide more valuable potential price extremes or continuation points in the price trend.
Example:
Usage:
Lookback Window: Adjust the "Lookback Window" parameter to control the number of previous bars considered when calculating the Rational Quadratic Estimate. Longer windows capture longer-term trends, while shorter windows respond more quickly to price changes.
Relative Weight: The "Relative Weight" parameter allows you to control the importance of each data point in the calculation. Higher values emphasize recent data, while lower values give more weight to historical data.
Source: Choose the data source (e.g., close price) that you want to use for the kernel estimate.
ATR Length: Set the length of the Average True Range (ATR) used for channel width calculation. A longer ATR length results in wider channels, while a shorter length leads to narrower channels.
Channel Multipliers: Adjust the "Channel Multiplier" parameters to control the width of the channels. Higher multipliers result in wider channels, while lower multipliers produce narrower channels. The indicator provides three sets of channels, each with its own multiplier for flexibility.
Details:
Rational Quadratic Kernel Function:
The Rational Quadratic Kernel Function is a type of smoothing function used to estimate a continuous curve or line from discrete data points. It is often used in time series analysis to reduce noise and emphasize trends or patterns in the data.
The formula for the Rational Quadratic Kernel Function is generally defined as:
K(x) = (1 + (x^2) / (2 * α * β))^(-α)
Where:
x represents the distance or difference between data points.
α and β are parameters that control the shape of the kernel. These parameters can be adjusted to control the smoothness or flexibility of the kernel function.
In the context of this indicator, the Rational Quadratic Kernel Function is applied to a specified source (e.g., close prices) over a defined lookback window. It calculates a smoothed estimate of the source data, which is then used to determine the central value of the channels. The kernel function allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions and reduce noise in the data.
The specific parameters (length and relativeWeight) in your indicator allows to fine-tune how the Rational Quadratic Kernel Function is applied, providing flexibility in capturing both short-term and long-term trends in the data.
To know more about unsupervised ML implementations, I highly recommend to follow the users, @jdehorty and @LuxAlgo
Optimizing the parameters:
Lookback Window (length): The lookback window determines how many previous bars are considered when calculating the kernel estimate.
For shorter-term trading strategies, you may want to use a shorter lookback window (e.g., 5-10).
For longer-term trading or investing, consider a longer lookback window (e.g., 20-50).
Relative Weight (relativeWeight): This parameter controls the importance of each data point in the calculation.
A higher relative weight (e.g., 2 or 3) emphasizes recent data, which can be suitable for trend-following strategies.
A lower relative weight (e.g., 1) gives more equal importance to historical and recent data, which may be useful for strategies that aim to capture both short-term and long-term trends.
ATR Length (atrLength): The length of the Average True Range (ATR) affects the width of the channels.
Longer ATR lengths result in wider channels, which may be suitable for capturing broader price movements.
Shorter ATR lengths result in narrower channels, which can be helpful for identifying smaller price swings.
Channel Multipliers (channelMultiplier1, channelMultiplier2, channelMultiplier3): These parameters determine the width of the channels relative to the ATR.
Adjust these multipliers based on your risk tolerance and desired channel width.
Higher multipliers result in wider channels, which may lead to fewer signals but potentially larger price movements.
Lower multipliers create narrower channels, which can result in more frequent signals but potentially smaller price movements.
Pro RSI CalculatorThe "Pro RSI Calculator" indicator is the latest addition to a series of custom trading tools that includes the "Pro Supertrend Calculator" and the "Pro Momentum Calculator."
Building upon this series, the "Pro RSI Calculator" is designed to provide traders with further insights into market trends by leveraging the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator.
Its primary objective remains consistent: to analyze historical price data and make informed predictions about future price movements, with a specific focus on identifying potential bullish (green) or bearish (red) candlestick patterns.
1. RSI Calculation:
The indicator begins by computing the RSI, a widely used momentum oscillator. It calculates two crucial RSI parameters:
RSI Length: This parameter determines the lookback period for RSI calculations.
RSI Upper and Lower Bands: These thresholds define overbought and oversold conditions, typically set at 70 and 30, respectively.
2. RSI Bands Visualization:
The RSI values obtained from the calculation are skillfully plotted on the price chart, appearing as two distinct lines:
Red Line: Represents the RSI when indicating a bearish trend, anticipating potential price declines.
Teal Line: Represents the RSI in bullish market conditions, signaling the possibility of price increases.
3. Consecutive Candlestick Analysis:
The indicator's core functionality revolves around tracking consecutive candlestick patterns based on their relationship with the RSI lines.
To be included in the analysis, a candlestick must consistently close either above (green candles) or below (red candles) the RSI lines for multiple consecutive periods.
4. Labeling and Enumeration:
To communicate the count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend behavior, the indicator meticulously assigns labels to the price chart.
Label positioning varies depending on the trend's direction, appearing either below (for bullish patterns) or above (for bearish patterns) the candlesticks.
The color scheme aligns with the candle colors: green labels for bullish candles and red labels for bearish ones.
5. Tabular Data Presentation:
The indicator enhances its graphical analysis with a customizable table that prominently displays comprehensive statistical insights.
Key data points in the table include:
- Consecutive Candles: The count of consecutive candles displaying consistent trend characteristics.
- Candles Above Upper RSI: The number of candles closing above the upper RSI threshold during the consecutive period.
- Candles Below Lower RSI: The number of candles closing below the lower RSI threshold during the consecutive period.
- Upcoming Green Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bullish, derived from historical data.
- Upcoming Red Candle: An estimated probability of the next candlestick being bearish, also based on historical data.
6. Custom Configuration:
To cater to various trading strategies and preferences, the indicator offers extensive customization options.
Traders can fine-tune parameters like RSI length, upper, and lower bands, label and table placement, and table size to align with their unique trading approaches.
Sublime Trading | Donchian Breakout SignalsWhat kind of traders/investors are we?
We are trend followers. Our scripts are designed to be used on the higher timeframes (weekly/daily) to catch the large moves/trends in the market.
Most have heard of long-term trend following. Few know how to execute the strategy.
Our scripts are designed specifically to identify and invest in long-term market trends.
What does this script do?
It produces entry signals in a confirmed bull and bear trend.
The logic is based on Donchian 20, which serves the following two purposes:
1. Confirms end-of-day entry points in a long-term trend
2. Filters out entry points in a sideways market
The signal is produced on a break and close of the Donchian 20 high in a bull trend and a break and close of the Donchian 20 low in a bear trend.
How is the entry price produced?
The entry is based on a percentage value of the range of the breakout bar added to the high of the bar in a bull trend.
In a bear trend, the percentage is subtracted from the low of the bar.
This gives an objective entry when placing a position once the OHLC of a bar is confirmed at the end of the trading day.
How is the stoploss price produced?
The script uses the formula ATR 15 x 4.
We use ATR as it produces a stoploss which is unique to the volatility of the asset. The more volatile the asset, the wider the stoploss.
We use ATR 15 as it brings an average reading across half a month, incorporating days of extreme volatility.
The multiplier 4 works well to avoid positions being stopped out prematurely on pullbacks.
When the stoploss is hit, there is when traders and investors may consider exiting positions.
What is the best timeframe to use the script?
We recommend the daily timeframe as this is where trader and investors identify and enter long-term market trends.
The higher timeframes are where traders and investors take fewer positions but hold for longer time periods.
As a result, trend followers place priority on the quality of the entry rather than quantity.
What makes this script unique?
This script has been coded specifically for the daily timeframe to:
Highlight the start of a potential long-term trends.
Confirm entry points at the end of the trading day, absorbing intraday noise.
Reduce fake breakouts in a trend.
Continue to create entry points as the trend develops to allow for compounding.
Filter out breakouts in a sideways market.
This entry signal script helps traders and investors focus on the quality of a potential position when investing in long-term market trends.
Range Based Signals and AlertsThis script produces a compiled version of rule based signals that is meant to be used mainly on 5 Min timeframe based on daily(as default) Highs and Lows on average and the main purpose is to give user settings to change and adapt based on their needs and make it as adjustable as possible. This entry strategy idea does not belong to me but for TV's in-house rule reasons i can't disclose whose idea it is but i think people that will use this indicator will know who the original idea belongs to.
Rules used for signal production:
- Daily(As default) High-Low points
- Moving Average for detecting reversing of price
- MTF MACD (Daily as default) for detecting overall trend
Signals produced based on extensions of price out of daily zones and when they drop or rise back into moving average. A conditional checker is used for reducing repeated unnecessary signals and alerts.
Happy trading.
TradeMaster SignalsTrading effectively requires a range of techniques, experience, and expertise. From technical analysis to market fundamentals, traders must navigate multiple factors, including market sentiment and economic conditions. However, traders often find themselves overwhelmed by market noise, making it challenging to filter out distractions and make informed decisions. To address this, we present a powerful indicator package designed to assist traders on their journey to success.
The TradeMaster indicator package encompasses a variety of trading strategies, including the SMC (Supply, Demand, and Price Action) approach, along with many other techniques. By leveraging concepts such as price action trading, support and resistance analysis, supply and demand dynamics, these indicators can empower traders to analyze entry and exit positions with precision. Unlike other forms of technical analysis that produce values or plots based on historical price data, Price Action brings you the facts straight from the source - the current price movements.
The indicator package consists of three powerful indicators that can be used individually or together to maximize trading effectiveness.
⭐ About the Signals Indicator
This indicator offers a unique opportunity for traders to design their own personalized trading strategy. It has a built-in backtesting system, which allows you to thoroughly analyze the performance of your strategy before implementing it in live trading. With the ability to customize and test your strategy using historical data, the Signals indicator empowers you to make data-driven decisions and refine your trading approach.
👉 How does it work?
The Signals indicator provides users with the ability to select trigger conditions and further narrow them down using confirmations.
Conditions are quantitative factors that influence the generation of signals on the chart and in the backtest table. You can enable multiple conditions to create a comprehensive set of criteria for signal generation.
Confirmations, on the other hand, are qualitative factors that selectively filter out conditions based on their alignment with the chosen confirmations. This helps refine the signals and provide more targeted trading opportunities. Multiple confirmations can be enabled to further enhance the precision of the signals.
A well-balanced strategy in the Signals indicator involves carefully selecting a combination of conditions and confirmations to generate accurate trading signals. Finding the right balance between them is crucial for consistent and profitable trading.
To offer even more flexibility, the Signals indicator includes two powerful main functions:
Target Placement System: This feature allows you to set up to 6 targets with a stop loss level and partial exit percentages. You can choose between automatic target creation or manual customization, giving you control over your profit targets.
Exit Strategy: With this feature, you can define your preferred trailing stop strategy, allowing you to implement a systematic approach to exiting trades. By setting appropriate trailing stop levels, you can limit potential losses, while the system secures profits by automatically closing positions partially when certain price targets are reached. This may help you to maintain discipline in your trading and optimize your risk-reward ratio.
With over 30 unique conditions, 10 confirmations, and the deep Target Placement and Exit Strategy systems, the Signals indicator offers a vast array of possibilities. In fact, there are potentially millions of different strategy outputs available for each ticker. Despite its complexity, the script remains lightweight and fast, ensuring smooth performance.
The Signals Backtest table provides a comprehensive overview of your strategy's performance. You can track your current position with all the necessary details, allowing you to monitor your trades effectively and make informed decisions based on the backtest results.
⚠️ WARNING!
Backtest results do not guarantee future performance. Strategies tested on synthetic data may not accurately represent real-world results. Testing should be conducted on charts that reflect actual closing prices.
The indicator displays buy/sell signals intended to support traders' analysis. There are numerous possibilities and combinations available to create your own unique strategies, whether trading with or against the trend or capturing oversold bounces. These are just a few of the many options! Our indicator can easily be tailored to fit your trading strategy.
The settings that influence the signal-generating algorithm play a crucial role in effectively utilizing the signals. We provide users with the flexibility to modify the settings to align with their trading style, while also offering simple adjustment methods using various techniques.
Each method for modifying the signal settings has been designed to meet specific user needs. It is important to understand that one method is not necessarily more accurate than another.
It is essential to understand that signal indications generally serve as trend confirmations, rather than direct entry and exit points. Focusing on the easy use of signal settings and utilizing other functionalities in our toolkit will likely be a better decision than attempting to find the "holy grail" of optimized signal settings and solely relying on following the signals.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

Binary Option Ultimate Backtester-V.1[tanayroy]The Binary Option strategy backtester gives the user extensive power to test any kind of strategy with advance trade management rules.
The strategy tester accepts external scripts as strategy sources. You can add your strategy and test it for historical stats.
Few assumption regarding strategy tester:
We are opening position at next candle after signal come
We are taking the position at opening price
Our call will be profitable if we get a green candle and put will be profitable if we get a red candle
We can open only one trade at a time. So if we are in trade, subsequent signals will be ignored.
How to make your strategy code compatible for strategy backtesting?
In your strategy code file add following lines:
Signal = is_call ? 1 : is_put ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title="🔌Connector🔌", display = display.none)
Is_call and is_put is your buy and sell signal. Plot the signal without displaying it in the chart. The new TradingView feature display = display.none, will not display the plot.
All Input options
Group: STRATEGY
Add Your Binary Strategy: External strategy to back test.
Trade Call/Put: Select CALL, to trade Call, PUT, to trade Put. Default is BOTH, Trading Call and Put both.
Number of Candles to Hold: How many candles to hold per trade. Default 1. If you want to hold the option for 30 minutes and you are testing your strategy in 15m intervals, use 2 candle holding periods.

For example if you start with $1 and you lose, at the next signal you will invest $2 to recover your losses.
Strategy Martingale Level: Select up to 15 Martingale at strategy signal level. Only workable if Use Martingale At Strategy Level is selected.
Type of Trade: Martingale trade type. Only workable if we are using Martingale Level more than 1.
It can be:
“SAME”: If you are trading CALL and incur a loss, you are taking CALL in subsequent Martingale levels.
“OPSITE”: if you are trading CALL and incur a loss, you are taking PUT in subsequent Martingale levels.
“FOLLOW CANDLE COLOR”: You are following candle color in Martingale levels, i.e if the loss candle is RED, you are taking PUT in subsequent candles.

MACD Fake Filter [RH]Introducing a new indicator for the TradingView community based on the MACD indicator! This innovative tool goes beyond traditional MACD signals by analyzing positive and negative waves to determine the average height of the waves to filter false cross-over or cross-under signals during the sideways market.
There are two types of waves created by the MACD line, one is a positive wave above the "zero" line and another is a negative wave below "zero" line. Each wave has peaks. This indicator will find the average height of the positive waves' peaks and plot as a green line(by default). Vice-versa it will also find the average height of the negative waves' peaks and plot as a red line(by default).
Example :
This indicator will show labels when the MACD line crosses-under the MACD signal line above the average height of the positive waves.
Vice-versa, the indicator will show labels when the MACD line crosses-above the MACD signal line below the average height of the negative waves.
Example:
Alerts are also available for these types of cross-over and cross-under.
[Rygel] Dual time frame Bollinger Bands with signals and alertsThis indicator displays two Bollinger Bands coming from two different time frames, chart's current one and a higher one.
It analyzes these two Bollinger Bands data and combines them with RSI, MFI and MACD divergences and SuperTrend to identify areas of opportunity where price is the most likely to be at a local top or bottom.
It uses probabilistic data, the Bollinger Bands, to identify convergence areas where the price is statistically overbought or oversold simultaneously at two different time frames, it then looks for signs of a trend exhaustion, using RSI, MFI and MACD divergences, and finally it looks for an early confirmation of a trend reversal, using SuperTrend data with aggressive settings.
This indicator does not produce buy and sell signals. You won't get a buy for every sell or a sell for every buy. In a bearish trend, you may get multiple consecutive bullish signals and in a bullish trend multiple bearish signals.
It is meant to help you to identify and to alert you about areas of opportunity where you could, for instance, consider taking some profits or opening a trade.
It is meant to support your investment or trading decisions, not to induce them.
SIGNALS
This indicator generated multiple types of signals. Diamonds are better than squares. Colored ones are better than grey ones.
Green square: a bullish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Red square: a bearish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Blue square: a bullish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Orange square: a bearish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Diamonds: same as the square signals but the signal is forming a divergence with a previous one. Diamond signals are always stronger (i.e. more reliable) than square signals.
Grey signals: same as the previous ones but for weaker signals. These signals appear when price in the current time frame is overbought or oversold but only close to be at the higher timeframe. (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
When a weak signal follows a strong one and creates a MACD divergence with it, it will be considered as a strong signal and displayed as a colored signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
When a strong signal follows a weak one, forming a MACD divergence, it will be shown as a diamond signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
Most reliable signals are green and red diamonds.
SETTINGS
Bollinger Bands
Source: the source used to calculate the Bollinger Bands ("close" by default)
Length: the moving-average length of the Bollinger Bands (20 by default)
You will most likely have no need to change these settings. If you're wondering what they actually do, you should most likely not touch them.
Main channel standard deviation: the standard deviation used to calculate the classical Bollinger Bands channel. (2.0 by default)
Outer bands standard deviation: additional channels outside the main one, using a larger standard deviation. (3.0 by default)
Theoretically, with a 1.0 standard deviation, around 68% of the price action should be contained within the Bollinger Bands.
With a 2.0 standard deviation, around 95%.
With a 3.0 standard deviation, around 99.7%.
With a 4.0 standard deviation, around 99.99%.
But as security prices returns have no actual statistical distribution, these probabilities don't strictly apply to Bollinger Bands. According to Wikipedia, studies have found that with a 2.0 standard deviation, only about 88% (85–90%) of the price data remain with the Bollinger Bands, instead of the theoretical 95%.
The higher you set the values, the less signals you'll get.
You should most likely keep the main channel standard deviation between 2 and 3 and add between +0.5 and +1 for the outer bands.
Most commonly used value for Bollinger Bands is 2.0.
Current time frame
Show current time frame Bollinger Bands: these are the Bollinger Bands you're used to. (enabled by default)
Show current time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation. (enabled by default)
Higher time frame
Show higher time frame Bollinger Bands: display secondary Bollinger Bands from a higher time frame. Time frames are configured in the below "Time frames" section. (enabled by default)
Show higher time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation (enabled by default)
Overbought and oversold
Show oversold and overbought background: add a background to the higher time Bollinger Bands whose color depends on the dual time frame Bollinger Bands oversold / overbought status. (enabled by default)
Asset is considered overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' main channel.
Asset is considered strongly overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' outer bands.
Dark red: both time frame are overbought (outside the main channel)
Red: one time frame is strongly overbought (outside the outer bands) and the other one is overbought (outside the main channel)
Bright red: both time frame are strongly overbought (outside the outer bands)
Dark green: both time frame are oversold (outside the main channel)
Green: one time frame is strongly oversold (outside the outer bands) and the other one is oversold (outside the main channel)
Bright green: both time frame are strongly oversold (outside the outer bands)
Signals
Show signals: display signals when an area of opportunity is detected. Read the introduction and the Signals section for more information. (enabled by default)
Show weak signals: display signals although at the higher time frame price is not yet overbought or oversold but close to be (disabled by default)
Divergences
Use MACD for divergences (enabled by default)
Use MFI for divergences (enabled by default)
Use RSI for divergences (enabled by default)
At least one source of divergences must be enabled for signals to work.
Enable hidden divergences: signals don't use hidden divergences by default as they generate more false positives than regular divergences. You can enable them to get more signals, it can be especially useful at high time frames (like weekly, monthly, etc.) where signals are rarer. (disabled by default)
Show divergences: draw MACD, MFI and RSI divergences on the chart. (disabled by default)
Green: regular bullish divergence
Red: regular bearish divergence
Blue: hidden bullish divergence
Orange: hidden bearish divergence
Confirmation
Confirmation speed: a faster confirmation speed will generate more false positive signals, a slower one will produce delayed but more reliable signals.
Fastest: don't wait for a SuperTrend confirmation, only wait for a divergence confirmation. Lot of false positives.
Fast: wait for a fast SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 1).
Medium: wait for a slower but more reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 2). Fewer false positives but more lagging signals.
Slow: wait for an even slower but very reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 3). Very few false positives but very late signals.
Time frames
You can define the higher time frames you wish to use here.
Default values try to adhere to a x6 to x8 ratio, x4 to x12 at maximum.
Some pairs are more significant than others, like 4 hour + daily, daily + weekly and weekly + monthly.

Time frames use the TradingView units:
s = seconds
h = hours
D = days
W = weeks
M = months
no unit = minutes
Time frame strings follow these rules:
They are composed of the multiplier and the time frame unit, e.g., “1S”, “30” (30 minutes), “1D” (one day), “3M” (three months).
The unit is represented by a single letter, with no letter used for minutes: “S” for seconds, “D” for days, “W” for weeks and “M” for months.
When no multiplier is used, 1 is assumed: “S” is equivalent to “1S”, “D” to “1D, etc. If only “1” is used, it is interpreted as “1min”, since no unit letter identifier is used for minutes.
There is no “hour” unit; “1H” is not valid. The correct format for one hour is “60” (remember no unit letter is specified for minutes).
The valid multipliers vary for each time frame unit:
- For seconds, only the discrete 1, 5, 10, 15 and 30 multipliers are valid.
- For minutes, 1 to 1440.
- For days, 1 to 365.
- For weeks, 1 to 52.
- For months, 1 to 12.

ABOUT THE HIGHER TIME FRAME BOLLINGER BANDS
Using a classical higher time frame Bollinger Bands would produce lagging data. For instance, if we are using a weekly BB at the daily time frame, we'll have to wait up to 7 days for the weekly bar to close to get the actual final weekly BB values. Instead, this indicator generates real time higher time frame Bollinger Bands by multiplying the moving average length of the Bollinger Bands by the higher time frame / current time frame ratio. For instance, a weekly BB in the daily time frame will use a x7 ratio (i.e. a 20 * 7 = 140 days MA BB).
It produces slightly different but very similar bands that are as meaningful and can be used in real time at lower time frames.
Alternatives would have been to wait up to seven days for signals to be finalized, which would have render them meaningless. Or to use previous week data, which would have made the signal inaccurrate.
To sum up, weekly Bollinger Bands use a 20 weeks moving average updated one time a week. In the daily time frame, this indicator also use a 20 weeks (140 days) moving average but updated daily instead of weekly.
A comparison between a traditional higher time frame Bollinger Bands vs the ones used by this indicator:
Blue and orange lines are the actual weekly BBs, grey ones are the daily updated ones.
ABOUT THE DIVERGENCES
This indicator uses the same divergences algorithm as my other indicators:
- RSI with divergences
- MACD with divergences
- Trend Reversal Indicator
You'll find more information about this algorithm on my RSI page.
