Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities

Sharpe and Sortino Ratios with Date RangeThis indicator calculates the Sharpe and Sortino ratios using a chart symbol's periodic price returns.
I added the ability to calculate SORTINO and Sharpe based on CUSTOM DATES within the option menu.
It builds on the script here: by adding this feature.
A little about the Sortino Ratio.
www.nasdaq.com
I want equity market returns, but I don’t want equity market volatility. This is the sentiment many investors naturally feel. This sentiment often grows stronger as one approaches or is in the phase where they desire distributions from their savings to improve lifestyle. This is why there is a need for active management in the investment arena. The desire to control downside volatility, but also participate in the upside growth is a very fundamental human desire. The Sortino Ratio measures how well a particular investment meets this fundamental human desire.
There is the old adage, “volatility is the price you pay for returns.” However, what if we could measure the historical performance of an investment and see if it has given above average returns compared to the downside volatility. This is a simple division problem. It will tell us if the volatility “price we are paying for returns” is good. We can then compare that to other investments to see how they compare.
Let us take the return and subtract the risk-free interest rate and then simply divide that by the downside movement from the average. A basic division problem yielding a number that measures a very basic human desire: How well did this investment do compared to the downside risk it experienced.
In the world of financial analysis and investment management, ratios are abundant. There are many ratios that are truly important to a particular analysis. However, the sheer abundance of ratios that are available often overwhelms the casual investor, leading them to disregard ratios altogether. I would argue for those investors that desire a way to rank an investment by its ability to satisfy this very fundamental human desire, the Sortino Ratio is the number they need to consider.
Disappointing in the marketplace for research, the Sortino Ratio is not featured prominently. It is much easier to find the inflows a particular ETF has experienced than the Sortino Ratio. Inflows are important. They measure how much people are investing into an ETF. However, they are mostly only important to the fund manager, not the investor. What investors care about is the Risk-Adjusted Return. This is the Sortino Ratio.

The EWMA Volatility Bands indicator combines an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of volatility to create dynamic upper and lower price bands. It helps traders identify trends, measure market volatility, and spot extreme conditions. Key features include:
Centerline (EMA): Tracks the trend based on a user-defined period.
Volatility Bands: Adjusted by the square root of volatility, representing potential price ranges.
Percentile Rank: Highlights extreme volatility (e.g., >99% or <1%) with shaded areas between the bands.
This tool is useful for trend-following, risk assessment, and identifying overbought/oversold conditions.
HV-RV Oscillator by DINVESTORQ(PRABIR DAS)Description:
The HV-RV Oscillator is a powerful tool designed to help traders track and compare two types of volatility measures: Historical Volatility (HV) and Realized Volatility (RV). This indicator is useful for identifying periods of market volatility and can be employed in various trading strategies. It plots both volatility measures on a normalized scale (0 to 100) to allow easy comparison and analysis.
How It Works:
Historical Volatility (HV):
HV is calculated by taking the log returns of the closing prices and finding the standard deviation over a specified period (default is 14 periods).
The value is then annualized assuming 252 trading days in a year.
Realized Volatility (RV):
RV is based on the True Range, which is the maximum of the current high-low range, the difference between the high and the previous close, and the difference between the low and the previous close.
Like HV, the standard deviation of the True Range over a specified period is calculated and annualized.
Normalization:
Both HV and RV values are normalized to a 0-100 scale, making it easy to see their relative magnitude over time.
The highest and lowest values within the period are used to normalize the data, which smooths out short-term volatility spikes.
Smoothing:
The normalized values of both HV and RV are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to reduce noise and provide a clearer trend.
Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal : When the Normalized HV crosses above the Normalized RV, it indicates that the historical volatility is increasing relative to the realized volatility, which could be interpreted as a buy signal.
Sell Signal : When the Normalized HV crosses below the Normalized RV, it suggests that the historical volatility is decreasing relative to the realized volatility, which could be seen as a sell signal.
Features:
Two Volatility Lines: The blue line represents Normalized HV, and the orange line represents Normalized RV.
Neutral Line: A gray dashed line at the 50 level indicates a neutral state between the two volatility measures.
Buy/Sell Markers: Green upward arrows are shown when the Normalized HV crosses above the Normalized RV, and red downward arrows appear when the Normalized HV crosses below the Normalized RV.
Inputs:
HV Period: The number of periods used to calculate Historical Volatility (default = 14).
RV Period: The number of periods used to calculate Realized Volatility (default = 14).
Smoothing Period: The number of periods used for smoothing the normalized values (default = 3).
How to Use:
This oscillator is designed for traders who want to track the relationship between Historical Volatility and Realized Volatility.
Buy signals occur when HV increases relative to RV, which can indicate increased market movement or potential breakout conditions.
Sell signals occur when RV is greater than HV, signaling reduced volatility or potential trend exhaustion.
Example Use Cases:
Breakout/Trend Strategy: Use the oscillator to identify potential periods of increased volatility (when HV crosses above RV) for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion: Use the oscillator to detect periods of low volatility (when RV crosses above HV) that might signal a return to the mean or consolidation.
This tool can be used on any asset class such as stocks, forex, commodities, or indices to help you make informed decisions based on the comparison of volatility measures.

Catalyst TrendCatalyst Trend – A Comprehensive Trend and Regime Analyzer
The Catalyst Trend indicator was designed to dynamically and intuitively merge various classic analytical techniques. The goal is to filter out short-term market noise and reveal reliable trend phases or potential turning points. Below is a detailed explanation of its core elements and practical usage.
1. Concept and Idea
Multidimensional Trend Detection
This indicator goes beyond a simple momentum or volatility focus. It factors in multiple measurements to provide a more well-rounded market perspective.
Versatile Indicator Fusion
Linear Regression (LinReg): Multiple LinReg calculations are combined to smooth out price fluctuations and produce a robust trendline—known here as the “Cycle Reduced Line.”
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Flags potential overbought or oversold conditions, in both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe.
ATR (Average True Range): Assesses volatility; used to dynamically adjust calculation lengths.
By weaving these elements together, the indicator adds value beyond simply stacking multiple indicators. It adapts to real-time market conditions, aiming to highlight genuine trends and reduce false signals.
2. Key Functions and Calculations
Dynamic Length & Smoothing
A blend of volatility (ATR), ADX values, and RSI inputs determines how many candles are used in the LinReg calculations and how heavily the data is smoothed.
This allows the indicator to respond promptly during periods of high volatility, while automatically adjusting to filter out unnecessary noise in quieter phases.c
Cycle Reduced Line
The script averages several offset LinReg calculations to produce a cleaner overall signal. Random outliers are thus minimized, making the trend path more visually consistent.
An additional EMA smoothing (“Final Smoothing”) further stabilizes this trendline, reducing the impact of minor price fluctuations.
Channel Bands (Optional)
These bands are derived from the standard deviation of the price residual (the difference between the smoothed price and the trendline).
They highlight potential over-extension zones: the upper band can mark short-term overbought areas, while the lower band might indicate oversold conditions.
Trend and Sideways Determination
Slope Calculation: The slope of the trendline (comparing the current bar to the previous one) helps identify short-term directional shifts.
DX Threshold: Once the ADX surpasses a user-defined threshold and the slope is positive, it may indicate a developing uptrend. Similarly, if the slope is negative and ADX > threshold, it could signal a potential downtrend.
Multi-Level Color Coding
Original Mode: Interpolated colors reflect uptrends, downtrends, and sideways phases, factoring in metrics like ADX and RSI.
Single Color: For a neutral look, the indicator can be displayed in one uniform color.
HTF RSI: This mode uses the higher-timeframe RSI to color the trendline (Long/Short/Neutral), offering a quick gauge of overarching market pressure.
3. Use Cases and Interpretation
Timeframes & Markets
The indicator is versatile and adapts well to different intervals, from 5-minute charts to weekly views.
It can be applied to various markets—crypto, forex, stocks—since volatility and trend strength are universal concepts.
Signal Recognition
Color Swings into a more pronounced upward hue (e.g., green) may signal mounting strength.
Neutral or mixed tones often point to sideways phases, which breakout traders might watch for potential price surges.
A shift to downward colors (e.g., red) may indicate a growing bearish trend.
Channel Bands & Volatility
When the bands spread widely, it’s wise to proceed with caution: abrupt spikes above the upper band or below the lower band can flag rapid short-term extremes.
These bands are more of a reference for potential overextension than a strict buy or sell trigger.
Additional Confirmations
Not a standalone panacea: The Catalyst Trend indicator is an analytical tool, best used alongside other methods such as volume analysis or price action (candlestick patterns, support/resistance levels) to bolster confidence in trading decisions.
4. Practical Tips
Parameter Adjustments
Depending on the market—crypto vs. traditional currency pairs—different ADX, RSI, or smoothing periods may be more effective. Experiment with the settings to tailor the indicator to your preferred timeframe.
Strategic Integration
Trailing Stops: For those riding a trend, the trendline or the channel bands may serve as a reference to trail stop-loss orders.
Trend Confirmation: Using RSI and ADX filters can help traders avoid sideways markets or stay the course when the trend is strong.
5. Important Final Notes
No Guarantee of Profits
No indicator can predict the future. Markets are inherently volatile and often unpredictable.
Responsible Risk Management
Test the indicator in a demo environment or with smaller positions before committing to large trades.
300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
Visual ATR StopThis indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to display a visual range for stop placement. Two multiplier values (example, 1 and 3) can be set to create a filled area below the price. This area represents the range between the two ATR levels, adjusted by subtracting the current price, providing a simple way to visualize stop-loss placement based on volatility.
The indicator is customizable; for example, negative values can place the area above the price for short positions. The filled color can also be removed, which allows precise levels to be marked above and below.

HMA Gaussian Volatility AdjustedOverview
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" indicator introduces a unique combination of HMA smoothing with a Gaussian filter and two components to measure volatility (Average True Range (ATR) and Standard Deviation (SD)). This tool provides traders with a stable and accurate measure of price trends by integrating a Gaussian Filter smoothed using HMA with a customized calculation of volatility. This innovative approach allows for enhanced sensitivity to market fluctuations while filtering out short-term price noise.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" indicator incorporates HMA smoothing and dynamic standard deviation calculations to build upon traditional volatility measures.
HMA & Gaussian Smoothing:
HMA Calculation (HMA_Length): The script applies a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to smooth the price data over a user-defined period, reducing noise and helping focus on broader market trends.
Gaussian Filter Calculation (Length_Gaussian): The smoothed HMA data is further refined by putting it into a Gaussian filter to incorporate a normal distribution.
Volatility Measurement:
ATR Calculation (ATR_Length, ATR_Factor): The indicator incorporates the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. The user-defined ATR multiplier is applied to this value to calculate upper and lower trend bands around the Gaussian, providing a dynamic measure of potential price movement based on recent volatility.
Standard Deviation Calculation (SD_Length): The script calculates the standard deviation of the price over a user-defined length, providing another layer of volatility measurement. The upper and lower standard deviation bands (SDD, SDU) act as additional indicators of price extremes.
Momentum Calculation & Scoring
When the indicator signals SHORT:
Diff = Price - Upper Boundary of the Standard Deviation (calculated on a Gaussian filter).
When the indicator signals LONG:
Diff = Price - Upper Boundary of the ATR (calculated on a Gaussian filter).
The calculated Diff signals how close the indicator is to changing trends. An EMA is applied to the Diff to smooth the data. Positive momentum occurs when the Diff is above the EMA, and negative momentum occurs when the Diff is below the EMA.
Trend Detection
Trend Logic: The indicator uses the calculated bands to identify whether the price is moving within or outside the standard deviation and ATR bands. Crosses above or below these bands, combined with positive/negative momentum, signals potential uptrends or downtrends, offering traders a clear view of market direction.
Features and User Inputs
The "HMA Gaussian Volatility Adjusted" script offers a variety of user inputs to customize the indicator to suit traders' styles and market conditions:
HMA Length: Allows traders to adjust the sensitivity of the HMA smoothing to control the amount of noise filtered from the price data.
Gaussian Length: Users can define the length at which the Gaussian filter is applied.
ATR Length and Multiplier: These inputs let traders fine-tune the ATR calculation, affecting the size of the dynamic upper and lower bands to adjust for price volatility.
Standard Deviation Length: Controls how the standard deviation is calculated, allowing further customization in detecting price volatility.
EMA Confluence: This input lets traders determine the length of the EMA used to calculate price momentum.
Type of Plot Setting: Allows users to determine how the indicator signal is plotted on the chart (Background color, Trend Lines, BOTH (backgroung color and Trend Lines)).
Transparency: Provides users with customization of the background color's transparency.
Color Long/Short: Offers users the option to choose their preferred colors for both long and short signals.
Summary and Usage Tips

Its combination of HMA smoothing, Gaussian filtering, and standard deviation analysis provides a nuanced view of market movements by incorporating various metrics to determine direction, momentum, and volatility. This helps traders make better-informed decisions. It's recommended to experiment with the various input parameters to optimize the indicator for specific needs.
FRAMA Channel [BigBeluga]This is a trend-following indicator that utilizes the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) to create a dynamic channel around the price. The FRAMA Channel helps identify uptrends, downtrends, and ranging markets by examining the relationship between the price and the channel's boundaries. It also marks trend changes with arrows, optionally displaying either price values or average volume at these key points.
🔵 IDEA
The core idea behind the FRAMA Channel indicator is to use the fractal nature of markets to adapt to different market conditions. By creating a channel around the FRAMA line, it not only tracks price trends but also adapts its sensitivity based on market volatility. When the price crosses the upper or lower bands of the channel, it signals a potential shift in trend direction. If the price remains within the channel and crosses over the upper or lower bands without a breakout, the market is likely in a ranging phase with low momentum. This adaptive approach makes the FRAMA Channel effective in both trending and ranging market environments.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Dynamic FRAMA Channel with Trend Signals:
The FRAMA Channel uses a fractal-based moving average to create an adaptive channel around the price. When the price crosses above the upper band, it signals an uptrend and plots an upward arrow with the price (or average volume) value. Conversely, when the price crosses below the lower band, it signals a downtrend and marks the point with a downward arrow. This dynamic adaptation to market conditions helps traders identify key trend shifts effectively.
◉ Ranging Market Detection:
If the price remains within the channel, and only the high crosses the upper band or the low crosses the lower band, the indicator identifies a ranging market with low momentum. In this case, the channel turns gray, signaling a neutral trend. This is particularly useful for avoiding false signals during periods of market consolidation.
◉ Color-Coded Candles and Channel Bands:
Candles and channel bands are color-coded to reflect the current trend direction. Green indicates an upward trend, blue shows a downward trend, and gray signals a neutral or ranging market. This visual representation makes it easy to identify the market condition at a glance, helping traders make informed decisions quickly.
◉ Customizable Display of Price or Average Volume:
On trend change signals, the indicator allows users to choose whether to display the price at the point of trend change or the average volume of 10 bars. This flexibility enables traders to focus on the information that is most relevant to their strategy, whether it's the exact price entery or the volume context of the market shift. Displaying the average volume allows to see the strength of the trend change.
Price Data:
Average Volume of points:
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Bands Distance: Adjust the length for the FRAMA calculation to control the sensitivity of the channel. A shorter length makes the channel more reactive to price changes, while a longer length smooths it out. The Bands Distance setting determines how far the bands are from the FRAMA line, helping to define the breakout and ranging conditions.
Signals Data: Choose between displaying the price or the average volume on trend change arrows. This allows traders to focus on either the exact price level of trend change or the market volume context.
Color Settings: Customize the colors for upward momentum, downward momentum, and neutral states to suit your charting preferences. You can also toggle whether to color the candles based on the momentum for a clearer visual of the trend direction.
The FRAMA Channel indicator adapts to market conditions, providing a versatile tool for identifying trends and ranging markets with clear visual cues.
Volatility % (Standard Deviation of Returns)This script takes closing prices of candles to measure the Standard Deviation (σ) which is then used to calculate the volatility by taking the stdev of the last 30 candles and multiplying it by the root of the trading days in a year, month and week. It then multiplies that number by 100 to show a percentage.
Default settings are annual volatility (252 candles, red), monthly volatility (30 candles, blue) and weekly volatility (5 candles, green) if you use daily candles. It is open source so you can increase the number of candles with which the stdev is calculated, and change the number of the root that multiplies the stdev.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Rolling ATR Bands indicator calculates the ATR based on the specified length and multiplier to form upper and lower bands around the price. These bands adapt with market volatility, widening during high volatility and contracting during lower volatility periods.
In addition, the indicator calculates a "trend strength" score by combining an interpolated RSI, Supertrend, and EMA crossover. This score is smoothed with a customizable length, and a color gradient is applied to visually denote the strength of bearish, neutral, or bullish conditions.
Here's how to interpret the bands:
Upper Band: Acts as dynamic resistance; when price approaches or touches it, this often suggests potential overbought conditions.
Lower Band: Acts as dynamic support; touching or nearing this band might indicate potential oversold conditions.
Color Shifts: Color changes indicate shifts in trend direction. For example, a green color suggests a bullish trend, while red hints at bearish tendencies.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets the Rolling ATR Bands apart is the combined use of interpolated RSI, Supertrend, and EMA cross values, creating a weighted trend strength score. This integration allows for nuanced, color-coded visual cues that respond quickly to trend changes without excessive noise, offering traders an intuitive view of both trend direction and potential momentum. You can also set up alerts for retest & alerts for upper and lower bands to get informed of potential movements.

Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry ZonesTitle: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones
Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones , making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.
How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.
Here’s the breakdown:
Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.
This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.
Key Features of RMV
Multi-Period ATR Calculation : Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization : Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation. Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors : The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.
How to Use the RMV Indicator
Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
As RMV moves from 21-30 , tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
Adjust Trading Strategies:
Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
Customize the Indicator:
a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.

Supertrend StrategyThe Supertrend Strategy was created based on the Supertrend and Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators, widely respected tools in technical analysis. This strategy combines these two indicators to capture market trends with precision and reliability, looking for optimizing exit levels at oversold or overbought price levels.
The Supertrend indicator identifies trend direction based on price and volatility by using the Average True Range (ATR). The ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average range between an asset’s high and low prices over a set period. It provides insight into price fluctuations, with higher ATR values indicating increased volatility and lower values suggesting stability. The Supertrend Indicator plots a line above or below the price, signaling potential buy or sell opportunities: when the price closes above the Supertrend line, an uptrend is indicated, while a close below the line suggests a downtrend. This line shifts as price movements and volatility levels change, acting as both a trailing stop loss and trend confirmation.
To enhance the Supertrend strategy, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been added as an exit criterion. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI indicates overbought (usually above 70) or oversold (usually below 30) conditions. This integration allows trades to close when the asset is overbought or oversold, capturing gains before a possible reversal, even if the percentage take profit level has not been reached. This mechanism aims to prevent losses due to market reversals before the Supertrend signal changes.
### Key Features
1. **Entry criteria**:
- The strategy uses the Supertrend indicator calculated by adding or subtracting a multiple of the ATR from the closing price, depending on the trend direction.
- When the price crosses above the Supertrend line, the strategy signals a long (buy) entry. Conversely, when the price crosses below, it signals a short (sell) entry.
- The strategy performs a reversal if there is an open position and a change in the direction of the supertrend occurs
2. **Exit criteria**:
- Take profit of 30% (default) on the average position price.
- Oversold (≤ 5) or overbought (≥ 95) RSI
- Reversal when there is a change in direction of the Supertrend
3. **No Repainting**:
- This strategy is not subject to repainting, as long as the timeframe configured on your chart is the same as the supertrend timeframe .
4. **Position Sizing by Equity and risk management**:
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. At the time of opening the position, the supertrend line is typically positioned at about 12 to 16% of the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
5. **Backtest results**:
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtesting and operations in replay mode, including transaction fees of 0.12%, and slippage of 5 ticks.
- The past results in deep backtest and replay mode were compatible and profitable (Variable results depending on the take profit used, supertrend and RSI parameters). However, it should be noted that few operations were evaluated, since the currency in question has been created for a short time and the frequency of operations is relatively small.
- Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.

Relative VolatilityRelative Volatility is a technical indicator designed to assess changes in market volatility by comparing fast and slow Average True Range (ATR) values. It operates by subtracting a slower ATR (e.g., 50-period ATR) from a faster ATR (e.g., 20-period ATR) and visualizing the result as a histogram. This enables traders to determine whether volatility is increasing or decreasing over time.
This indicator can help traders recognize volatility trends, which can inform decisions related to trade entries, exits, and risk management.
Interpreting Volatility Changes
Increasing Volatility: When the histogram is above zero, it indicates that the fast ATR is greater than the slow ATR, signifying an increase in short-term volatility compared to the long-term average. This may suggest heightened market activity and potential trading opportunities.
Decreasing Volatility: When the histogram is below zero, it shows that the fast ATR is less than the slow ATR, indicating a decrease in short-term volatility relative to the long-term average. This may suggest consolidating markets or reduced trading activity.
Relative Volatility assists traders in monitoring and analyzing changes in market volatility, providing insights that can enhance trading strategies and decision-making processes.
Alternative Shark Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Shark🔵 Introduction
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, similar to the original Shark harmonic pattern introduced by Scott Carney, is a powerful tool in technical analysis used to identify potential reversal zones (PRZ) in financial markets.
These harmonic patterns help traders spot key turning points in market trends by relying on specific Fibonacci ratios. The Alternative Shark pattern is particularly unique due to its distinct Fibonacci retracements within the PRZ, which differentiate it from the standard Shark pattern and provide traders with more precise entry and exit signals.
By focusing on harmonic patterns and utilizing tools like the Harmonic Pattern Indicator, traders can easily identify both the Shark and Alternative Shark patterns, making it easier to find PRZs and capture potential trend reversals. This enhanced detection of potential reversal zones allows for better trade optimization and improved risk management.
Incorporating the Alternative Shark pattern into your technical analysis strategy enables you to enhance your trading performance by identifying market reversals with greater accuracy, improving the timing of your trades, and reducing risks associated with sudden market shifts.
🟣 Understanding the Types of Alternative Shark Pattern
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, much like the original Shark pattern, forms at the end of price trends and is divided into two types: Bullish and Bearish Alternative Shark patterns.
Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern :
This pattern typically forms at the end of a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal into an uptrend. Traders can use this pattern to identify buy entry points. The image below illustrates the core components of the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern.
Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern :
Conversely, the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern appears at the end of an uptrend and signals a potential reversal to a downtrend. This variation allows traders to adjust their strategies for selling. The image below outlines the characteristics of the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern.
🟣 Differences Between Shark and Alternative Shark Patterns
Although both patterns share similar structures and serve as tools for identifying price reversals, there is one key difference between them :
AB to XA Ratio : In the Shark pattern, the AB leg retraces between 1 and 2 of the XA leg, whereas in the Alternative Shark pattern, this retracement is reduced to 0.382 to 0.618 of the XA leg. This difference in the retracement ratio leads to slightly different trade signals and can affect the timing of entry and exit points.
Other ratios and reversal signals remain consistent between the two patterns, but this difference in the AB to XA ratio provides traders with more nuanced opportunities to optimize their trades.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Trading with the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern functions similarly to the traditional Bullish Shark, acting as a reversal pattern that helps traders recognize the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend.
The main distinction lies in the reduced AB retracement, which can offer more refined entry signals. Once the pattern completes, traders can look to enter buy trades and place a stop-loss below the lowest point of the pattern for effective risk management.
🟣 Trading with the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern operates much like the Bearish Shark pattern but with the adjusted AB to XA ratio. This difference provides traders with unique entry points for sell trades. Once the pattern is fully identified, traders can enter short positions, placing a stop-loss above the highest point of the pattern to safeguard against market fluctuations.
🔵 Setting

Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, despite its structural similarity to the traditional Shark pattern, introduces a key difference in the AB to XA ratio, making it a valuable addition to the trader’s toolkit. This subtle variation enables traders to pinpoint reversal points with greater accuracy and fine-tune their trading strategies.
As with any technical pattern, it is crucial to use the Alternative Shark pattern in combination with other technical indicators and strong risk management practices. Incorporating this pattern into a broader trading strategy can help traders enhance their ability to detect and capitalize on market reversals more effectively.
