POWER INDICATOR PREMIUM WITH MANY FUNCTIONS BY OeZkAn
👑 POWER INDICATOR PRO PREMIUM V24: Predictive Intelligence Meets Precision ExecutionThe POWER INDICATOR PRO PREMIUM V24 is the pinnacle of algorithmic trading intelligence. This system transcends traditional indicators by utilizing a sophisticated framework of advanced mathematical equations to predict the impending trend direction before the market moves. It combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC), Multi-Timeframe (MTF) convergence, and Dynamic Risk Management to deliver unparalleled clarity and execution confidence.If you seek a trading partner that provides leading, predictive signals and high-probability entries, this system is your definitive solution.
🧠 The Core Element: Predictive Market Context & Directional ForecastThe foundational strength of the POWER INDICATOR is its ability to forecast the market's bias through advanced quantification:
🚀 Directional Pre-Cognition (LRC & Mathematical Models):The system utilizes the Linear Regression Curve (LRC) and proprietary statistical models as its core mathematical engine. This process extrapolates the probable trend path and generates a Directional Forecast for the coming bars, enabling you to anticipate moves rather than react to them. This forecast serves as the ultimate bias filter.
🧠 The Convictional Filter: Quantifying Probability ($60\%$ Confidence):This filter is our proprietary Probability Brain. It eliminates market noise by forcing convergence across multiple high-level factors (MTF agreement, Momentum, SMC levels).High-Conviction Threshold: Independent analysis confirms that the Conviction Filter provides an exceptionally high win rate and signal quality starting at just $60\%$. Setting your threshold at this level ensures you only consider trades where the predictive mathematical components are in strong alignment.
🌊 FVG & GP Predictive Zones:The system automatically identifies and projects critical Fair Value Gaps (FVG/LSOB) and the Golden Pocket (GP) Re-Test Zone. These zones are algorithmically identified as high-probability targets for pullbacks and reversals, providing a clear map of where liquidity will be sought.
💡 The Convictional Trading Workflow: A 3-Step Guide to ExecutionContext Check: Confirm the LRC Directional Forecast aligns with your trade and the Conviction Score Meter is above your desired threshold (minimum $60\%$).Optimal Entry: Wait for the signal to trigger at a high-R:R entry point (GP, FVG, or Aggressive Impulse), guided by your chosen trading mode.Dynamic Management: Let the system handle risk, utilizing Structural SL and automatic Multi-Method Trailing Stops post-TP1.
🎯 Mode Selection: Matching Strategy to MarketThe indicator's power lies in its Modularity. Selecting the correct mode is crucial for optimizing your results.Trading StyleRecommended ModesPrimary Rationale & Entry LogicHigh-Frequency ScalpingCT Scalp-OnlyDesigned for counter-trend entries in a pullback towards the Golden Pocket (GP). Uses tighter SL/TP multipliers for quick profit-taking. (Fast, high-R:R)ATR Channel Scalp (ACS)Utilizes volatility channels (ATR bands) for quick mean-reversion trades when price overextends.Strategic Day Trading / Swing TradingUltimate Fusion Mode (UFM)The highest probability mode. Best for catching major shifts confirmed by SMC (LRC, GP, FVG, MSS). Waits for a deep, high-R:R Re-Test Entry.Haupttrend & Scalp (Kombi)Excellent general-purpose mode. Focuses on trend continuation but allows for high-R:R pullback entries at key levels (GP/FVG). (Balanced)FVG Mitigation Entry (FME)Ideal for SMC traders. Waits for the price to precisely re-test and mitigate an unmitigated Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Liquidity Sweep (LSOB) zone before entry.Breakout & Momentum TradingBand Breakout-OnlyTriggers an entry only when price decisively breaks outside the SMA Volatility Bands (configurable). Filtered by momentum requirements.Dynamic Range Expansion (DRE)Specifically detects low-volatility consolidation before an anticipated high-momentum expansion phase.
🔔 The Master Alert System: Your Execution EdgeThe powerful Alert functionality ensures you can monitor multiple assets and timeframes without being glued to the screen.1.
✅ Dynamic MASTER ALARM (Compact Text)The core alert uses a compact, dynamic JSON/text message that contains all necessary information for quick execution:Action: BUY / SELLMode Used: Conviction Score: Key Level: 2. LRC/GP Combo-Alert (High-R:R)This is the most valuable alert for strategic traders. It triggers only when the LRC direction is confirmed and the price enters the Golden Pocket (GP) Re-Test Zone, indicating an optimal high-R:R pullback opportunity.Final Note: To maximize the predictive power, ensure the useConvictionFilter is set to a minimum of $60\%$ and the useStructureSL is activated to protect your capital with intelligent stop placement.Stop reacting.

Square of Nine Levels [RC] Advance📐 Square of Nine Levels — Precision Market Geometry for Dynamic Price Targets
The Square of Nine Levels indicator is a powerful price-projection and level-mapping tool based on W.D. Gann’s legendary Square of Nine mathematical system. This indicator transforms market prices into geometric rotations and harmonic levels—revealing price zones where markets historically accelerate, pause, or reverse with uncanny accuracy.
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, Square of Nine levels expand radially around a chosen base price, creating concentric price cycles that align with vibrational mathematics, planetary motion analogies, and cyclical market resonance. When price interacts with these rotational degrees, traders often witness structural reactions that are invisible to standard indicators.
🧭 What This Indicator Does
Once a trader inputs (or clicks) a Base Price, the indicator automatically:
✔️ Computes Square of Nine projections in upward and downward directions
✔️ Plots concentric price circles (levels of expansion)
✔️ Highlights rotational harmonics and midpoint attractors
✔️ Shows Golden Ratio (0.618 / 0.382) cyclic divisions
✔️ Provides clear visual level markers & labels for analysis
✔️ Adjusts dynamically as price trends evolve
These levels act as mathematical magnets, where price frequently:
Finds hidden support or resistance
Creates fair value rejection zones
Forms breakout thresholds
Completes wave and time cycles
Resonates with prior swing pivots
🔍 Key Features
Feature Benefit
_________________________________________________________________________
Auto Square-of-Nine Level Calculation Zero manual computation—instant geometry
Adjustable Circles & Points Model Gann expansions as per your theory
Golden Ratio & Midpoint Zones Adds confluence for precision entries
Multi-color Cycle Layers Instantly differentiate price cycles
Minimal UI Designed for professional clean charts
🧠 Why the Square of Nine Matters
Gann believed that price does not move randomly—it rotates through degrees, harmonics, and vibrational frequencies. The Square of Nine captures this rotation mathematically:
Price in time equals price in space.
This tool reveals those rotational levels, allowing traders to anticipate when price is likely to pivot or continue—with mathematically predictable targets.
🎯 Best Use-Cases
Identifying major support/resistance levels
Timing cycle inflection points
Confluence with Wave Theory, SMC, FVGs, and geometry
Swing, positional, and index-level forecasting
If you trade using Gann methods, cycles, harmonics, Square of 9, or astro-geometry, this indicator becomes a foundational timing and projection engine.
🚀 Take Your Charting to the Next Dimension
The Square of Nine Levels is not just a level plotter—it is a market resonance system. Once you understand how price vibrates around these circles, you gain a structural edge that most traders never discover.
Av.amplitudeIt shows the levels of deviations from the opening, calculated as the average of the maximum deviations up and down from the opening price over the last N candles multiplied by the multiplier.
The strategy is to buy when the price crosses the upper indicator and sell when the price crosses the lower indicator.
The stop level is in accordance with your strategy and your own rules.
Показывает уровни отклонений от открытия, рассчитанные как среднее максимальных отклонений от открытия за последние N свечей, умноженных на мультипликатор.
Стратегия в том, чтобы покупать, когда цена пересекает верхний показатель и продавать, когда цена пересекает вниз нижний показатель.
Уровень стопа - в соответствии с своей стратегией и собственными правилами.

📋 Group 1: Core COT Settings
COT Report Type
Options: Legacy | Disaggregated | Financial
What it is: Selects the type of COT report data to analyze.
Legacy - Traditional COT report format. Recommended for most users. Uses "Commercial Positions" and "Noncommercial Positions" metrics. Shows Commercial, Non-Commercial, and Small Speculator positions in the classic format.
Commercials: "Commercial Positions"
Speculators: "Noncommercial Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Disaggregated - Separates managed money from other speculators. Uses different metrics than Legacy format.
Commercials: "Producer Merchant Positions"
Speculators: "Managed Money Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Important: When using Disaggregated report type, the table will still show "Non-Comm" as the label, but the data displayed is actually " Managed Money Positions " (hedge funds and CTAs). The underlying data changes based on your report type selection, even though the table label remains "Non-Comm" for consistency.
Where you'll see this data:
📊 Current Positions section - The "Non-Comm" row shows Managed Money long, short, and net positions
📊 Open Interest Analysis section - "Non-Comm" net changes reflect Managed Money position changes
📈 Analysis section - "Non-Comm" percentile and LW Index values are calculated from Managed Money positions
Chart plots - The blue "Non-Commercial" line shows Managed Money net positions
Useful when you want to analyze hedge funds (Managed Money) separately from other large speculators. The "Commercial" row will show " Producer Merchant Positions " instead of general "Commercial Positions".
Financial - Designed for financial instruments (currencies, bonds, stock indices). Uses financial-specific metrics.
Commercials: "Dealer Positions"
Speculators: "Leveraged Funds Positions"
Small Specs: "Nonreportable Positions"
Important: When using Financial report type, the table will still show "Commercial" and "Non-Comm" as labels, but the data displayed is actually " Dealer Positions " (commercials) and " Leveraged Funds Positions " (speculators). The underlying data changes based on your report type selection.
Where you'll see this data:
📊 Current Positions section - "Commercial" row shows Dealer long/short/net, "Non-Comm" row shows Leveraged Funds positions
📊 Open Interest Analysis section - Net changes reflect Dealer and Leveraged Funds position changes
📈 Analysis section - Percentile and LW Index values are calculated from Dealer and Leveraged Funds positions
Chart plots - Lines show Dealer and Leveraged Funds net positions
Use this for currency futures, bond futures, and stock index futures.
Trading Use: Most traders use Legacy as it provides the most comprehensive view and works with all asset types. Switch to Disaggregated if you want to analyze managed money positions separately. Use Financial specifically for financial instruments (currencies, bonds, stock indices).
---
Include Options Data
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Toggles whether to include options positions in addition to futures positions.
Trading Use: Larry Williams observed no significant difference in COT analysis when including options data. Keep this disabled unless you specifically need options data. Most traders leave it off for cleaner analysis.
---
Auto-detect CFTC Code
Default: On (true)
What it is: Automatically finds the correct CFTC code for your symbol.

---
Use Price Trend Weighting
Default: On (true)
What it is: Weights signals based on price trend alignment.
How it works:
Uptrend + Commercials long = Stronger bullish signal
Downtrend + Commercials short = Stronger bearish signal
Counter-trend signals = Harder to trigger (more conservative)
Trading Use: Keep enabled for more reliable signals. Commercials aligned with price trend are historically more accurate.
This feature makes signals easier to trigger when commercials align with the trend and harder when they're counter-trend.
---
Trend MA Period
Default: 40 | Range: 1-200
What it is: Moving average period for price trend detection.

Red is traditional for commercials. When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index), it's a bullish signal. When they're heavy sellers (low index), it's a bearish signal.
---
Non-Commercial Line Settings
Default Color: Blue | Default Width: 2
What it is: Controls the Non-Commercial (Large Speculators) net position line appearance.
Trading Use: Large speculators are often trend-followers. Watch for:
Extreme long = Potential top (contrarian sell signal)

---
Open Interest Line Settings
Default Color: Black | Default Width: 1
What it is: Controls the Open Interest line appearance.
Trading Use: Open Interest shows market participation:
Rising OI = New money entering (confirms trend)
Falling OI = Money leaving (potential reversal)
Watch WHO is driving OI changes - This is critical
---
Scale Open Interest
Default: On (true)
What it is: Scales Open Interest values to fit chart range.
Important: Only affects plotted lines, not table values. Scaling changes based on lookback period:
- Shorter lookback = More compressed range
- Longer lookback = Wider range
Trading Use: Keep enabled for better visual comparison. Disable if you want absolute OI values.
---
Show Reference Lines
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Toggles the display of horizontal reference lines at 0%, 50%, and 100% levels on the chart.

---
Smoothing Period
Default: 4 | Range: 2-20
What it is: Number of periods for the moving average smoothing.
Trading Use:
Shorter periods (2-5) = Less smoothing, more responsive
Longer periods (10-20) = More smoothing, less noise
Default 4 = Good balance
Only used when Smoothing Method is not None.
---
Smooth COT Report Plots
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Applies smoothing to COT Report plotted lines (Commercial, Non-Commercial, Small Speculators, Open Interest).
Trading Use: Enable if you want smoother chart lines. Note: Smoothing affects visual display but calculations use raw data unless Smooth COT Index Plots is also enabled.
---
Smooth COT Index Plots
Default: Off (false)
What it is: Applies smoothing to COT Index plotted lines.

📋 Understanding Each Table Section
This section explains what each part of the main table means and how to use it for trading decisions.
⚙️ Settings Section
Report Type - Shows which COT report format you're using (Legacy, Disaggregated, or Financial). Verify this matches your asset type.
Options - Indicates if options data is included ("Included") or excluded ("Excluded"). Most traders exclude options for cleaner analysis.
CFTC Code - Unique identifier for your futures contract. Shows "Auto" when automatically detected, or displays the manual code if set.
Trading Use: Always verify your CFTC code is correct. Wrong code = wrong data = wrong signals.
---
📊 Current Positions Section
Shows the actual position sizes for each trader group.
What Each Column Means:
Long - Total long contracts held by this group
Short - Total short contracts held by this group
Net - Net position (Long - Short). This is the key number.
How to Interpret:
Commercial Net Position:
- Negative (Net Short) = Commercials expect prices to fall
- Positive (Net Long) = Commercials expect prices to rise
- Commercials are "smart money" - their positioning often precedes major moves
Non-Commercial Net Position:
- Positive (Net Long) = Large speculators bullish
- Negative (Net Short) = Large speculators bearish
- Often trend-followers, can be caught at extremes
Small Spec Net Position:
- Positive (Net Long) = Small traders bullish
- Negative (Net Short) = Small traders bearish
- Often contrarian indicator - wrong at extremes
Trading Edge: Watch for extremes in Commercial net positions. When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index ≥74%), it's a bullish signal. When they're heavy sellers (low index ≤26%), it's a bearish signal.
---
📊 Open Interest Analysis Section
Open Interest - Total number of outstanding contracts. Shows market participation level.
Change - Week-over-week change in Open Interest. Rising OI = new money entering, Falling OI = money leaving.
Net Changes - Shows which group is driving Open Interest changes. This is Larry Williams' most important insight.
🎯 Critical Question: Who is Driving OI Changes?
EXTREMELY BULLISH SIGNAL (Very Rare - Pay Close Attention):
- Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials raising positions + Uptrend market
- Meaning: Smart money (commercials) accumulating long positions while market is rising
- Action: Extremely bullish - very rare setup, pay close attention to this signal
- This is the strongest bullish signal possible
BULLISH SIGNAL (Strong Buy):
- Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials net long
- Meaning: Smart money accumulating long positions
- Action: Strong bullish setup
BEARISH SIGNAL (Strong Sell - Market Topping):
- Commercials exiting + OI increasing due to Small Specs + Non-Commercials
- Meaning: Smart money leaving while speculative money entering
- Action: Market top forming - most likely scenario for bearish reversal
- This indicates speculative excess and potential market top
BEARISH SIGNAL (Speculative Excess):
- Small Specs + Non-Commercials driving OI increase + They are net long
- Meaning: Speculative excess, "dumb money" driving market
- Action: Bearish reversal likely
Trading Use:
- Rising OI = New money entering (confirms trend)
- Falling OI = Money leaving (potential reversal)
- Watch WHO is driving OI changes - This is critical
- When Commercials drive OI increases while raising positions in an uptrend = Extremely bullish and very rare - pay attention
- When Commercials exit while OI increases due to Small Specs and Non-Commercials = Market topping signal
Concentration - Shows how much of the market is controlled by the largest traders:
- Top 4 - Four largest traders' share of total OI
- Top 8 - Eight largest traders' share of total OI
Trading Use: High concentration (>30%) means fewer dominant players, potential for volatility. Low concentration means more distributed positions, healthier market.

📋 Understanding Compact Mode Fields
The Compact mode provides essential information for quick trading decisions. Here's what each field means:
State
Shows the overall market sentiment based on combined COT analysis.
Possible Values:
- STRONG BULLISH - Multiple factors aligned bullish, strong buy signal
- MODERATE BULLISH - Several bullish factors, moderate buy signal
- LEANING BULLISH - Slight bullish bias, watch for confirmation
- NEUTRAL - Mixed signals, trade with existing trend
- LEANING BEARISH - Slight bearish bias, watch for confirmation
- MODERATE BEARISH - Several bearish factors, moderate sell signal
- STRONG BEARISH - Multiple factors aligned bearish, strong sell signal
Trading Use: Start your analysis here. Strong signals (STRONG BULLISH/BEARISH) indicate higher confidence setups. Neutral means trade with price trend.
---
Entry
Your actionable trading signal based on Commercial positioning.
Possible Values:
- LONG - Commercials are heavy buyers (≥Heavy Buyers Level), bullish signal
- SHORT - Commercials are heavy sellers (≤Heavy Sellers Level), bearish signal
- Wait - Commercials neutral, no clear signal
Trading Use: This is your go/no-go decision point. Only take trades when Entry shows LONG or SHORT. When Entry = Wait, stay on sidelines until clearer signal develops.
---
Comm Index
Commercial LW Index percentage showing where Commercial net position ranks historically.
Range: 0% to 100%
- 0-26% = Commercials heavy sellers (bearish positioning)
- 27-73% = Commercials neutral (no extreme)
- 74-100% = Commercials heavy buyers (bullish positioning)
Trading Use: Commercial extremes are most reliable. Values ≥74% (heavy buyers/extreme long) = BULLISH signal. Values ≤26% (heavy sellers/extreme short) = BEARISH signal. When Commercials are heavy buyers, it indicates bullish sentiment. When they're heavy sellers, it indicates bearish sentiment.
---
OI Status
Open Interest condition showing market participation level and trend.
Format: Status (Percentile %)
Examples:
- High (100.0%) - OI at extreme high, strong participation
- Moderate (50.0%) - OI at average level
- Low (10.0%) - OI at extreme low, weak participation
Trend Indicators:
- Rising - OI increasing (new money entering)
- Falling - OI decreasing (money leaving)
- Stable - OI unchanged
Trading Use: High OI with rising trend = strong market participation, confirms directional moves. Falling OI = watch for potential reversals. Low OI = reduced participation, potential for volatility.
---
Best Setup
Shows which combination of factors has the highest historical accuracy.
Format: Combination Name (Accuracy %)
Examples:
- Commercials Alone (75.3%) - Commercial positioning only
- Commercials + Speculators (68.2%) - Commercials and specs aligned
- Commercials + Open Interest (72.1%) - Commercials with OI confirmation
- Commercials + Speculators + OI (82.1%) - All factors aligned (strongest)
Trading Use: Higher accuracy values indicate signals with higher historical accuracy. When Best Setup shows "Commercials + Speculators + OI" with high accuracy, it indicates a combination with strong historical performance.
---
Trend
13-week cumulative trend direction based on net position changes.
Possible Values:
- Bullish - Net positions trending bullish over 13 weeks
- Bearish - Net positions trending bearish over 13 weeks
- Mixed - No clear directional trend
Trading Use: Align Entry signals with Trend for higher accuracy. When Entry = LONG and Trend = Bullish, signal is stronger. When Entry = LONG but Trend = Bearish, wait for price confirmation before entering. Counter-trend signals require more confirmation.

💡 Key Trading Concepts
Market State Interpretation
STRONG BULLISH - Multiple factors aligned bullish. Strong buy signal.
MODERATE BULLISH - Several bullish factors. Moderate buy signal.
LEANING BULLISH - Slight bullish bias. Watch for confirmation.
NEUTRAL - Mixed signals. Trade with existing trend.
LEANING BEARISH - Slight bearish bias. Watch for confirmation.
MODERATE BEARISH - Several bearish factors. Moderate sell signal.
STRONG BEARISH - Multiple factors aligned bearish. Strong sell signal.
---
Entry Level Signals
LONG - Commercials are heavy buyers (≥Heavy Buyers Level). Bullish signal.
SHORT - Commercials are heavy sellers (≤Heavy Sellers Level). Bearish signal.
Wait - Commercials neutral. No clear signal.
When Commercials are heavy buyers (high index), it indicates bullish sentiment. When they're heavy sellers (low index), it indicates bearish sentiment.
---
Best Setup Interpretation
The Best Setup shows the historically highest accuracy combination:
Commercials Alone - Commercial positioning is most reliable
Commercials + Speculators - Both groups aligned
Commercials + Open Interest - Commercials + OI confirmation
Commercials + Speculators + OI - All factors aligned (strongest)
Higher accuracy = More reliable signal. Use this to prioritize which signals to follow.
---
Open Interest Analysis
Critical Question: Who is driving Open Interest changes?
EXTREMELY BULLISH (Very Rare):
Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials raising positions + Uptrend = EXTREMELY BULLISH
This is very rare - pay close attention when this occurs
STRONG BULLISH:
Commercials driving OI increase + Commercials long = STRONG BULLISH
BEARISH (Market Topping):
Commercials exiting + OI increasing due to Small Specs + Non-Commercials = BEARISH (market topping)
Most likely scenario for bearish reversal - speculative excess
BEARISH (Speculative Excess):
Speculators driving OI increase + Speculators long = BEARISH (speculative excess)
TREND CONFIRMATION:
Rising OI = Confirms trend (new money entering)
Falling OI = Potential reversal (money leaving)
This is one of Larry Williams' most important insights. When Commercials drive OI increases while raising positions in an uptrend, it's extremely bullish and very rare - pay attention. When Commercials exit while Small Specs and Non-Commercials drive OI increases, the market is likely topping.

Acknowledgment
This tool builds upon the foundational work of Larry Williams, who developed the Commitments of Traders (COT) analysis methodology and the principles for interpreting COT data. It also incorporates enhancements including statistical validation, combination analysis, adaptive signal generation, and comprehensive historical comparison features.
Note: Always practice proper risk management and thoroughly test the indicator to ensure it aligns with your trading strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Asset Comparison Oscillator by Luis TrompeterThe Asset Comparison Oscillator compares the currently opened asset with a user-selected reference symbol to identify periods of relative overvaluation and undervaluation.
The concept is based on the idea that markets constantly seek fair value. When an asset becomes mispriced relative to a meaningful benchmark, it often moves back toward equilibrium.
This indicator measures that relationship and transforms it into an easy-to-read oscillator:
• Green Zone (Undervalued) – The selected asset is undervalued compared to the reference symbol.
This reflects potential upward pressure as markets tend to correct undervaluation over time.
• Red Zone (Overvalued) – The asset is overvalued relative to the reference symbol.
This may indicate a higher likelihood of downward movement as price seeks rebalancing.
Users can set any reference instrument they consider relevant—commodities, indices, currency pairs, or other assets. The oscillator quantifies the valuation difference based on a configurable cycle length.
The recommended setting is Cycle = 10, which provides a balanced and responsive signal structure.
Since this indicator relies on broader valuation dynamics, it is designed to be used exclusively on the daily timeframe. Lower timeframes may not reflect true fundamental value relationships.
The Asset Comparison Oscillator helps traders identify when an asset appears cheap or expensive relative to another, offering an additional layer of fundamental context to support directional trading decisions.
COT Index by Luis TrompeterThe COT Index transforms the weekly COT net positions of Commercial traders into a normalized mathematical model.
Instead of displaying raw net positioning, the COT Index processes the data through a cyclical normalization algorithm (commonly using a 26-week or alternatively a 52-week cycle).
This makes it easier to identify bullish or bearish extremes in Commercial activity.
The index is plotted as a color-coded line:
• Green Zone – Commercials are mathematically classified as bullish.
Historically, bullish Commercial positioning often aligns with upward market pressure.
• Red Zone – Commercials are mathematically classified as bearish.
This typically corresponds with increased downward pressure in the underlying market.
• Neutral Zone – Neither bull nor bear dominance; positioning is mid-range.
Since COT data is published only once per week and the COT Index is built on cyclical multi-week analysis, the indicator is intended to be used exclusively on the weekly timeframe.
Using lower timeframes will not reflect the structure of the data accurately.
The selected cycle length (typically 26 weeks, optionally 52 weeks) determines how net positions are compared and normalized, and can influence how quickly extreme zones appear.
The COT Index provides an objective way to interpret Commercial trader sentiment and to identify potential directional bias in the market.
TradeBeard Larry Williams A/D + Classic DivergenceName: TradeBeard – Larry Williams A/D + Classic Divergence
What it does:
This indicator plots a classic Larry Williams Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line, using:
(Close−Open)/(High−Low)×Volume
It then looks at price swings vs. A/D swings and marks true Larry-style divergences:
Bull Div – Price makes a lower low, but the A/D line makes a higher low → buying pressure/accumulation.
Bear Div – Price makes a higher high, but the A/D line makes a lower high → selling pressure/distribution.
Lines are drawn between the two pivots on the A/D line, with a label at the most recent pivot.
How to use / read it:
Use on any timeframe; the logic is the same.
Look for Bull Div near potential bottoms as confirmation that smart money is quietly buying.
Look for Bear Div near potential tops as confirmation that smart money is unloading.
Settings:
Pivot left bars (price) / Pivot right bars (price)
Controls how “wide” a swing high/low must be.
1 / 1 ≈ very sensitive (ICT/Larry-style 3-bar swings).
Higher values = fewer but cleaner swings and fewer signals.
Show bullish divergences / Show bearish divergences
Turn each signal type on or off.
Bullish color (line + label) / Bearish color (line + label)
Color of the divergence lines and label background.
Bullish label text color / Bearish label text color

Squeeze Go Momentum Pro [KingThies] █ OVERVIEW
The Squeeze Momentum Pro indicator identifies volatility compression phases and breakout opportunities by comparing Bollinger Bands to Keltner Channels. When price consolidates (squeeze), the bands contract inside the channels, signaling an imminent breakout. The momentum histogram shows directional bias, helping traders anticipate which way price will move when the squeeze releases.
This indicator displays in a separate panel below the price chart, providing clear visual signals without cluttering price action.
█ KEY FEATURES
Momentum Histogram
The histogram is the primary visual element, displaying momentum strength and direction with four distinct color states:
• Dark Green (#00C853) — Strong bullish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening upward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Green (#26A69A) — Bullish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bullish territory but upward force is weakening.
• Dark Red (#D32F2F) — Strong bearish momentum that is increasing. This signals strengthening downward pressure and potential continuation.
• Light Red (#EF5350) — Bearish momentum that is decreasing. Price remains in bearish territory but downward force is weakening.
The color intensity provides immediate feedback on momentum strength and trend health.
Squeeze State Indicator
Colored dots on the zero line communicate the current volatility state:
• Orange Dots — Squeeze is ON. Bollinger Bands have contracted inside Keltner Channels, indicating consolidation and low volatility.
A breakout is building and traders should prepare for directional movement.
• Green Dots — Squeeze is OFF. Bollinger Bands have expanded outside Keltner Channels, indicating active momentum and higher volatility.
Price is moving with conviction in the current direction.
• Gray Dots — Neutral state. The bands are transitioning between squeeze states.
Release Triangles
Triangle shapes mark the exact bar when a squeeze releases, providing precise entry timing:
• Green Triangle Up — Bullish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with positive momentum, suggesting a long setup opportunity.
• Red Triangle Down — Bearish squeeze release. The squeeze has ended with negative momentum, suggesting a short setup opportunity.
Information Panel
A compact dashboard in the top-right corner displays real-time trading intelligence:
• Squeeze Status — Current state: ON, OFF, or NEUTRAL with color coding
• Momentum Direction — Current bias: BULL or BEAR
• Momentum Value — Precise numerical reading of momentum strength
• Trading Signal — Actionable status: LONG SETUP, SHORT SETUP, WAIT, or MONITOR
Configurable Parameters
All calculation inputs are adjustable to match your trading style and timeframe:
• BB Length — Bollinger Bands period (default: 20)
• BB StdDev — Bollinger Bands standard deviation multiplier (default: 2.0)
• KC Length — Keltner Channels period (default: 20)
• KC ATR Multiplier — Keltner Channels range multiplier (default: 1.5)
• Momentum Length — Linear regression period for momentum calculation (default: 20)
Alert System
Four alert conditions notify you of critical trading opportunities:
• Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bullish momentum, indicating a potential long entry
• Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze has released with bearish momentum, indicating a potential short entry
• Squeeze Started — Volatility compression detected, prepare for upcoming breakout
• Squeeze Ended — Volatility expansion confirmed, breakout is active
█ TRADING METHODOLOGY
The indicator follows a clear four-step process for identifying and trading squeeze breakouts:
1 - Wait for Orange Dots . When orange dots appear on the zero line, a squeeze is building. This indicates price consolidation and declining volatility.
Do not enter trades during this phase. Instead, prepare by identifying key support and resistance levels and potential breakout directions.
2 - Watch for Release Triangle . When a triangle appears, the squeeze has released and a breakout is beginning. This is your entry signal.
The triangle color (green up or red down) combined with the histogram direction indicates the breakout direction.
3 - Confirm with Histogram Direction . Check the momentum histogram for directional confirmation:
• Green histogram + green triangle up = Go long. Bullish momentum supports upward breakout.
• Red histogram + red triangle down = Go short. Bearish momentum supports downward breakout.
4 - Monitor Momentum Intensity . Stay in the trade while histogram bars maintain their dark, intense color.
When colors lighten (dark green to light green, or dark red to light red), momentum is weakening and you should consider taking profits or tightening stops.
█ INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Squeeze Detection Logic
A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Standard deviation of price decreases (BB narrows)
• Price consolidates within a tight range
• Volatility compresses to unsustainable levels
The orange dots signal this condition, warning traders that explosive movement is imminent.
Squeeze Release Logic
A squeeze releases when Bollinger Bands expand outside Keltner Channels. This happens when:
• Price volatility increases sharply
• Price breaks out of consolidation
• Volume typically expands (check volume separately)
The green dots and release triangles signal this condition, indicating the direction and timing of the breakout.
Momentum Reading
The histogram uses linear regression to calculate momentum relative to the midpoint of the recent range:
• Above Zero : Price is trading above the range midpoint with bullish pressure
• Below Zero : Price is trading below the range midpoint with bearish pressure
• Increasing Bars : Momentum is strengthening in the current direction (darker color)
• Decreasing Bars : Momentum is weakening in the current direction (lighter color)
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Timeframe Selection — The indicator works on all timeframes but performs best on 15-minute to daily charts.
Lower timeframes may produce more false signals due to noise.
• Confluence Trading — Combine squeeze releases with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators for higher probability setups.
• Volume Confirmation — Check that squeeze releases occur with increasing volume. Low volume breakouts are more likely to fail.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis — Check higher timeframes for overall trend direction. Trade squeeze releases that align with the larger trend.
• Parameter Adjustment — Increase BB and KC lengths for smoother signals on higher timeframes. Decrease for more sensitive signals on lower timeframes.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator does not predict breakout direction before the squeeze releases. The momentum histogram provides bias but is not definitive until the breakout occurs.
• False breakouts can occur, particularly in choppy or low-volume market conditions. Always use proper risk management and stop losses.
• The indicator works best in trending markets. In deeply ranging markets with no clear direction, squeeze signals may be less reliable.
• Momentum calculations use linear regression which can lag during extremely fast price movements. Confirm signals with price action.
█ NOTES
This implementation uses linear regression for momentum calculation rather than simple moving averages, providing more responsive and accurate directional signals. The four-color histogram system gives traders nuanced feedback on momentum strength that binary color schemes cannot provide.
The indicator automatically adjusts to any symbol and timeframe without modification, making it suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures markets.

- SATA (Stage Analysis Trend Acceleration) engine evaluates 10 institutional checkpoints: breakout quality, MA structure, RS trend, momentum, volume drive, and overhead supply.
- Minervini Trend Template scoring synthesizes 50/150/200-day relationships, 52-week positioning, and relative strength, outputting a 10-point gauge.
- Mansfield Relative Strength module auto-adjusts lookbacks per timeframe, emphasizing leadership versus a configurable benchmark.
- Dashboard renders progress bars and status indicators (“Confirmed” vs “Review”) for rapid institutional diligence.
Professional Visual Experience
- Theme-aware gradients, typography, and alternating row treatments provide maximum legibility without distracting glow.
- Price, moving averages, and background fills adopt cohesive accent tones tied to their respective stages for immediate context.
- Support/resistance labels, annotations, and volume cues inherit theme colors, keeping on-chart annotations minimal yet readable.
- Dashboard headers, separators, and icons guide the eye through workflow blocks: Stage summary, SATA qualifiers, Trend & Risk Metrics.
Alert Architecture
- Built-in alerts cover every structural regime change (Stage 1–Stage 4) so desks can automate watchlists and allocation shifts.
- Predictive Stage 2 setup alert monitors sub-stage evolution, SATA score, RS, and volume spikes to flag imminent breakouts.
- Stage 2 confirmation alert requires synchronized trend template, SATA strength, and volume thrust—ideal for deployment on high-conviction entries.
- Stage 2 weakening alert detects fading momentum (SATA drop, trend template degradation, MA breaches) to support risk reduction policy.
- Each alert is registered via alertcondition() for one-click activation in TradingView’s Alerts panel; optional alert() calls respect the user’s on-chart toggles.
Workflow Guidance
- Choose theme via Visual Theme input to match the underlying chart; adjust transparency if overlays stack with other studies.
- Enable dashboard for at-a-glance institutional readouts; hide it when screen real estate is limited or for export.
- SATA/Trend Template blocks can be toggled to focus on either Weinstein or Minervini methodologies independently.
- Use relative strength inputs (Benchmark Symbol, RS Period) to align the indicator with your investment universe (e.g., SPX, NDX, sector ETFs).
- Risk settings (Account Risk %, position sizing toggle) contextualize stop levels and risk/reward multipliers inside the dashboard.
- Combine with volume profile or market breadth overlays for a holistic Stage Analysis execution stack.
Tristan's Devil Mark (Short / Long, with W%R)The Devil’s Mark indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify potential short and long opportunities based on candle structure and market momentum. It combines price action analysis with the Williams %R (W%R) oscillator to highlight candles with high potential for reversal or continuation.
Can be used on any timeline, from scalping day trades to swing trades on daily and higher timelines. Know that the higher the timeline the less likely the indicator will show. (Asia and London sessions tend to show many indicators. I find this more useful for NY session.)
How the script works
Candle Structure Conditions
Short (Sell) Wedge: Plotted above green candles that have no bottom wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong upward momentum without downside hesitation .
Long (Buy) Wedge: Plotted below red candles that have no top wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong downward momentum without upside hesitation .
These candles are visually emphasized as wedges to mark potential turning points.
Williams %R Filter
The indicator uses Williams %R to measure overbought and oversold conditions:
Proximity to 0 (nearZeroThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to 0 (overbought) to trigger a Sell Wedge. This acts as a “Sell sensitivity” filter.
Proximity to -100 (nearHundredThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to -100 (oversold) to trigger a Buy Wedge. This acts as a “Buy sensitivity” filter.
When the candle meets both the candle structure and the W%R condition, the wedge is plotted in purple (“Within W%R Range”).
When the "ignore W%R filter" toggle is on, all eligible candles are plotted regardless of W%R. Wedges that normally would not meet W%R criteria are plotted in light purple (“Outside W%R Range”) to distinguish them. #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Settings Explained
Williams %R Length: The number of bars used to calculate the W%R oscillator. Shorter lengths make it more sensitive; longer lengths smooth the readings.
Proximity to 0 / 100: Controls how “strict” the indicator is in requiring overbought or oversold W%R conditions to trigger. Lower values mean closer to extreme zones, higher values are more permissive.
Ignore W%R Toggle: Option to show Devil’s Marks on every eligible candle regardless of W%R. Useful for visualizing purely price-action-based signals.
What the trader sees
Purple wedges: Candles meeting both candle structure and W%R conditions.
Light purple wedges: Candles meeting candle structure but ignored W%R (when toggle is on). #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF)
Short opportunities are wedges above bars (green candles with no bottom wick).
Long opportunities are wedges below bars (red candles with no top wick).
Trading Insight
The Devil’s Mark is a momentum and reversal alert tool:
Look for purple downward-pointing wedges when W%R is near overbought. This is a potential shorting opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your short trades.
Look for purple upward-pointing wedges when W%R is near oversold. This is a potential
long opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your long trades.
Light purple wedges show the same price-action cues without W%R confirmation—useful for aggressive traders who want every potential setup. #YOLO #YMMV #noFullPort
Settings / Security
The “Output values” checkbox appears for each plotted series (like a plot or plotshape) and controls whether the series will also be exposed numerically in the Data Window or used by other indicators/scripts.
Here’s what it means in practice:
1. Checked (true)
The series values (like candle high, low, or any computed value) are exported to the Data Window and can be read by other scripts using request.security() or ta functions.
Example: You can see the exact numerical value of each plotted point in the Data Window when you hover over the chart.
Useful if you want to backtest or reference these plotted values programmatically.
2. Unchecked (false)
The series is plotted visually only.
The numeric values are hidden from the Data Window and cannot be accessed by other scripts.
Makes the chart cleaner if you don’t need the numeric outputs.
BanditExperimental %R and Moving Average Bands. This is just for fun :)
Comment below if you spot a good pattern to trade.
VIX BanditThis is a momentum indicator that identifies potential VIX bottoms by using seven configurable Williams %R oscillators simultaneously.
Green dots🟢appear below the bar when all %R series agree the VIX is extremely oversold.
Fuchsia dots🟣appear above the bar when VIX reverts to its long-term average (an EMA).
I hope this helps you spot moments of maximum optimism and trade the subsequent panic, somehow.
CuteWilly Oscillator_SKThis is a potent combination of Williams % R , EMA & SMA on Williams % R alongwith input from RSI as well. Gives very good picture of the trend, trend reversal and strength of the trend as well.
Williams %R smoothed🌍 English Description
Williams %R Smoothed – by Ján Salma
This is the first smoothed version of the Williams %R indicator published on TradingView.
The traditional Williams %R is a momentum oscillator that can be very choppy and noisy. Many traders find it hard to use because of the constant whipsaws.
This indicator solves that problem by applying an EMA smoothing on top of the raw Williams %R values.
Why is this special?
[* ]📉 Reduces noise → much cleaner signal, fewer false spikes.
🔍 Highlights real momentum shifts → easier to spot when the market truly changes direction.
🎯 Customizable smoothing → you decide how sensitive or smooth the curve should be.
⚡ Unique → currently, there is no other smoothed Williams %R available on TradingView.
Settings
Length → default 14 (standard Williams %R period).
Smoothing → default 3 EMA (smooths out the raw values).
Levels: -20 (overbought), -80 (oversold), -50 (mid-level).
This indicator is great for scalpers and swing traders who love Williams %R but hate the noise.
Now you can finally use %R with more confidence and clarity.

Williams %R Smoothed – od Jána Salmu
Toto je prvá vyhladená verzia Williams %R indikátora publikovaná na TradingView.
Klasický Williams %R je oscilátor hybnosti, ktorý je často veľmi „roztrasený“ a plný šumu. Mnoho traderov s ním preto pracuje ťažko, pretože dáva veľa falošných signálov.
Tento indikátor to rieši tak, že na pôvodné hodnoty Williams %R aplikuje EMA vyhladenie .
Čo robí tento indikátor výnimočným?
📉 Redukuje šum → výsledná krivka je čistejšia, s menej falošnými výkyvmi.
🔍 Zvýrazňuje skutočné zmeny hybnosti → jasnejšie vidíš, kedy sa trh naozaj otáča.
🎯 Nastaviteľné vyhladenie → citlivosť indikátora si prispôsobíš podľa seba.
⚡ Unikát → na TradingView zatiaľ neexistuje žiadny iný vyhladený Williams %R.
Nastavenia
Dĺžka → predvolená hodnota 14 (štandardný Williams %R).
Smoothing (EMA) → predvolená hodnota 3 (vyhladenie krivky).
Úrovne: -20 (prekúpený trh), -80 (prepredaný trh), -50 (stredová hodnota).
Tento indikátor je skvelý pre scalperov aj swing traderov, ktorí majú radi Williams %R, ale chcú ho používať s väčšou presnosťou a prehľadnosťou.
MACD Signal with Williams %R ColoringA simple fused indicator of 2, 1) MACD signal lines made colouring when 2) Williams % R is in overbought or oversold. not my own coding, just took two readily available indicators and coded them together.
Williams VIX For Bottoms [DCD]Williams VIX Original - Authentic Volatility Fear Gauge
What This Indicator Does
The Williams VIX Fix measures market fear by calculating how far current lows deviate from recent highs, identifying potential market bottoms during high volatility periods. This implementation provides Larry Williams' original formula in its purest form.
How It Works
Core Formula:
VIX Fix = ((Highest High over 22 periods - Current Low) / Highest High over 22 periods) × 100
The calculation process:
Measures Relative Distance: Compares current low to highest high over lookback period
Converts to Percentage: Normalizes values for cross-market comparison
Applies Statistical Analysis: Uses Bollinger Bands (2 std dev) around VIX Fix values
Filters with Percentiles: 85th percentile threshold removes noise
Signal Generation
Green Flash Signals trigger when either condition is met:
VIX Fix exceeds upper Bollinger Band (2 standard deviations above 20-period MA)
VIX Fix exceeds Range High (85th percentile of recent values)
This dual-condition approach reduces false signals while capturing genuine volatility spikes.
What Makes This Original
Pure Formula Implementation: Uses Williams' exact original calculation without modifications
Dual Confirmation System: Combines Bollinger Bands with percentile analysis
Professional Visualization: Histogram display, background highlighting, and live value table
Comprehensive Alerts: Signal start/end notifications plus Green Flash alerts
How to Use
Primary Purpose: Spot high-probability reversal zones during market fear climaxes
Signal Interpretation:
Green triangle + background highlight = High volatility reversal zone
Higher VIX Fix values = Stronger fear/better reversal potential
Use with price action confirmation for best results
Optimal Settings:
Timeframes: 4H, Daily, Weekly
Markets: All (stocks, crypto, forex, commodities)
Combine with support levels and candlestick patterns
Key Parameters:
VIX Fix Length (22): Lookback period for highest high
Std Dev Multiplier (2.0): Bollinger Band sensitivity
Percentile High (0.85): Only top 15% of readings trigger signals
The VIX Fix excels at identifying market fear climaxes that coincide with significant price bottoms, making it valuable for swing traders seeking high-probability entries during market stress.
Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV)Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV) - Where Chaos Theory Meets Sacred Geometry
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Fractal Mathematics and Golden Ratio Dynamics
What began as an exploration into Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal market hypothesis and the mysterious appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature has culminated in a groundbreaking indicator that reveals the hidden mathematical structure underlying market movements. This indicator represents months of research into chaos theory, fractal geometry, and the golden ratio's manifestation in financial markets.
The Theoretical Foundation
Mandelbrot's Fractal Market Hypothesis Traditional efficient market theory assumes normal distributions and random walks. Mandelbrot proved markets are fractal - self-similar patterns repeating across all timeframes with power-law distributions. The MFCV implements this through:
Hurst Exponent Calculation: H = log(R/S) / log(n/2)
Where:
R = Range of cumulative deviations
S = Standard deviation
n = Period length
This measures market memory:
H > 0.5: Trending (persistent) behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) behavior
Fractal Dimension: D = 2 - H
This quantifies market complexity, where higher dimensions indicate more chaotic behavior.
Fibonacci Vortex Theory Markets don't move linearly - they spiral. The MFCV reveals these spirals using Fibonacci sequences:
Vortex Calculation: Vortex(n) = Price + sin(bar_index × φ / Fn) × ATR(Fn) × Volume_Factor
Where:
φ = 0.618 (golden ratio)
Fn = Fibonacci number (8, 13, 21, 34, 55)
Volume_Factor = 1 + (Volume/SMA(Volume,50) - 1) × 0.5
This creates oscillating spirals that contract and expand with market energy.
The Volatility Cascade System
Markets exhibit volatility clustering - Mandelbrot's "Noah Effect." The MFCV captures this through cascading volatility bands:
Cascade Level Calculation: Level(i) = ATR(20) × φ^i
Each level represents a different fractal scale, creating a multi-dimensional view of market structure. The golden ratio spacing ensures harmonic resonance between levels.
Implementation Architecture
Core Components:
Fractal Analysis Engine
Calculates Hurst exponent over user-defined periods
Derives fractal dimension for complexity measurement

Signal Generation Logic
The MFCV generates two primary signal types:
Fractal Signals: Generated when:
Hurst > 0.65 (strong trend) AND volatility expanding
Hurst < 0.35 (mean reversion) AND RSI < 35
Trend strength > 0.4 AND vortex alignment
Cascade Signals: Triggered by:
RSI > 60 AND price > SMA(50) AND bearish vortex
RSI < 40 AND price < SMA(50) AND bullish vortex
Volatility expansion AND trend strength > 0.3
Both signals implement a 15-bar cooldown to prevent overtrading.

WMB Oscillator | [DeV]The "WMB Oscillator" indicator is a multi-factor momentum and volatility indicator designed to give traders a dynamic edge in identifying trend strength, market pressure, and potential turning points. By combining three powerful tools—Williams %R, Money Flow Index, and Bollinger Band Width—this oscillator presents a single histogram that visually represents the interplay between overbought/oversold levels, volume-weighted pressure, and volatility expansion. Use it to anticipate trend shifts, confirm entries, or avoid traps in ranging markets.
Williams %R:
Williams %R measures the closing price's position relative to the recent high-low range over a defined period. It outputs a value between 0 and -100, where values closer to -100 suggest oversold conditions, and those near 0 indicate overbought. In this oscillator, the raw %R is normalized between your defined overbought and oversold thresholds, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the combined signal without distortion from price scale differences.
Money Flow Index (MFI):
The MFI gauges buying and selling pressure using both price and volume. It calculates the typical price for each bar, multiplies it by volume, and compares positive versus negative money flows over time. Normalized between your custom thresholds, the MFI component helps highlight when a move is driven by real conviction (volume) rather than weak price fluctuation, enhancing the signal’s reliability.
Bollinger Band Width (BB Width):
BB Width quantifies volatility by measuring the percentage difference between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands relative to their moving average. When volatility contracts, BB Width narrows—often preceding explosive moves. When it expands, volatility is peaking. Here, the raw BB Width is detrended using its moving average and scaled with a user-defined multiplier to reflect its deviation strength.
Why Combine These:
Each of these three metrics captures a unique dimension of market behavior: %R tracks momentum in price extremes, MFI confirms the move’s strength through volume, and BB Width anticipates volatility surges. Combined, they form a balanced oscillator that reacts fluidly to market changes while filtering out noise. The result is a nuanced, multi-angle view of the market's internal dynamics, enabling smarter, more confident trading decisions.
True Seasonal Pattern [tradeviZion]True Seasonal Pattern: Uncover Hidden Market Cycles
Markets have rhythms and patterns that repeat with surprising regularity. The True Seasonal Pattern indicator reveals these hidden cycles across different timeframes, helping you anticipate potential market movements based on historical seasonal tendencies.
What This Indicator Does
The True Seasonal Pattern analyzes years of historical price data to identify recurring seasonal trends. It then plots these patterns on your chart, showing you both the historical pattern and future projection based on past seasonal behavior.
Automatic Timeframe Detection: Works with Monthly, Weekly, and Daily charts
Historical Pattern Analysis: Analyzes up to 100 years of data (customizable)
Future Projection: Projects the seasonal pattern ahead on your chart
Smart Smoothing: Applies appropriate smoothing based on your timeframe
How to Use This Indicator
Add the indicator to a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly chart (not designed for intraday timeframes)
The indicator automatically detects your chart's timeframe
The blue line shows the historical seasonal pattern
Watch for potential turning points in the pattern that align with other technical signals
Seasonal patterns work best as a supporting factor in your analysis, not as standalone trading signals. They are particularly effective in markets with well-established seasonal influences.
Best Applications
Futures Markets: Commodities and futures often show strong seasonal tendencies due to production cycles, weather patterns, and economic factors
Stock Indices: Many stock markets demonstrate regular seasonal patterns (like the "Sell in May" phenomenon)
Individual Stocks: Companies with seasonal business cycles often show predictable price patterns
Practical Applications
Identify potential turning points based on historical seasonal patterns
Plan entries and exits around seasonal tendencies
Add seasonal context to your existing technical analysis
Understand why certain months or periods might show consistent behavior
Pro Tip: For best results, use this tool on instruments with at least 5+ years of historical data. Longer timeframes often reveal more reliable seasonal patterns.
Important Notes
This indicator works best on Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not intraday charts
Seasonal patterns are tendencies, not guarantees
Always combine seasonal analysis with other technical tools
Past patterns may not repeat exactly in the future
// Sample of the seasonal calculation approach
float yearHigh = array.max(currentYearHighs)
float yearLow = array.min(currentYearLows)
// Calculate seasonality for each period
for i = 0 to array.size(currentYearCloses) - 1
float periodClose = array.get(currentYearCloses, i)
if not na(periodClose) and yearHigh != yearLow
float seasonality = (periodClose - yearLow) / (yearHigh - yearLow) * 100
I developed this indicator to help traders incorporate seasonal analysis into their trading approach without the complexity of traditional seasonal tools. Whether you're analyzing agricultural commodities, energy futures, or stock indices, understanding the seasonal context can provide valuable insights for your trading decisions.
Remember: Markets don't always follow seasonal patterns, but when they do, being aware of these tendencies can give you a meaningful edge in your analysis.
EMA Pullback & Trend Indicator MyraxesEMA Pullback & Trend Indicator by Max Retri
Plots five EMAs—9, 15, 30, 65 and 200—and draws clean, easy-to-interpret signals when the fast EMAs cross in the direction of the longer-term trend. No other indicators or overlays are required; simply add it to your chart and watch for the arrows and crosses.
⸻
What It Does & How It Works
1. EMAs & Colors
• Red (EMA 9) – Fast signal line
• Blue (EMA 15) – Confirmation line
• Orange (EMA 30) – Pullback zone 1
• Purple (EMA 65) – Pullback zone 2 & mid-term trend
• White (EMA 200) – Long-term trend
2. Trend Filter
• Bullish regime when price is above both EMA 65 and EMA 200.
• Bearish regime when price is below both EMA 65 and EMA 200.
3. Pullback Requirement
• Only consider a signal if price has retraced into the EMA 30 or EMA 65 zone.
4. Signal Logic
Long Entry ▲: EMA 9 (red) crosses above EMA 15 (blue) while in a bullish regime and after a pullback into EMA 30/65.
Short Entry ▼: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 15 while in a bearish regime and after a retracement up to EMA 30/65.
Exit ✖: Opposite EMA 9/15 crossover marks the close of the position.
⸻
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to any chart/timeframe.
2. Identify trend: make sure price is aligned above or below the 65 and 200 EMAs.
3. Watch for pullbacks into the orange or purple EMAs.
4. Enter on the black ▲ or ▼ arrow.
5. Exit when you see the gray ✖ cross.
Because it’s a pure‐EMA indicator (no heavy calculations), it runs quickly even on lower-end machines.
