Max Trend Points [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A clean and powerful tool for identifying major trend shifts and quantifying the strength of each move using dynamically calculated price extremes.
This indicator helps traders visualize the most significant trend changes by plotting trend direction lines and dynamically tracking the highest or lowest point within each trend leg. It’s ideal for identifying key price impulses and measuring their magnitude in real time.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Uses an adaptive trend-following logic based on volatility envelopes created from HMA of the price range (high - low).
Identifies trend direction and flips when price breaks above or below these dynamic envelopes.
Tracks swing highs and lows within the current trend leg to highlight trend extremes.
Calculates and displays the percentage gain or drop from trend start to trend peak/valley.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Shift Detection:
Plots a colored trend line (uptrend or downtrend) that updates based on price action volatility.
Impulse Mapping:
Draws a dashed line between the point of trend change (close) and the current trend leg's extreme (highest high or lowest low).
Percentage Labeling:
Displays a floating label showing the exact percent change from the trend start to the current extreme.
Real-Time Adjustments:
As the trend progresses, the extreme point and the percent label update automatically to reflect new highs/lows.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for the trend color shift and circular marker to identify a new potential trend direction.
Use the dashed lines and percent label to evaluate the strength and potential maturity of each move.
Combine this tool with support/resistance levels or other indicators to identify confluence zones.
Adjust the "Factor" input to make the trend detection more or less sensitive depending on your timeframe.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Max Trend Points is an efficient visual indicator for understanding the structure and magnitude of trending moves. It provides essential feedback on how far a trend has traveled, where momentum may be peaking, and when a shift may be underway—all with real-time adaptability and clean presentation.

Renko Trend Reversal StrategyThis Pine Script implements a simple Renko-based trend reversal trading strategy for TradingView. Here’s what it does, broken down clearly:
🔍 Purpose
The script is a strategy (not just an indicator) designed to simulate trading based on Renko-style trend changes, using smoothed price data to detect entries and exits.
🧠 How It Works
1. Trend Detection Using SMAs
It uses two simple moving averages (SMAs) to simulate a Renko-like trend signal:
renko_trend = ta.sma(close, 2) > ta.sma(close, 10) ? 1 : -1
If the short-term SMA (2) is above the long-term SMA (10), the trend is considered bullish (1).
If below, it's bearish (-1).
2. Trend Reversal Detection
A trend change is detected using:
trend_change = ta.change(renko_trend)
It checks if the renko_trend has flipped since the previous candle.
3. Trade Entry Conditions
A long trade is entered when the trend changes to bullish.
A short trade is entered when the trend changes to bearish.
if long_condition
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
if short_condition
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
4. Exit Conditions
Exits are handled using a trailing stop:
strategy.exit(..., trail_points = 50, trail_offset = 20)
A trailing stop loss of 50 points is used, activating only after the price moves 20 points in favor of the trade.
📈 Visualization
It plots the current trend (1 or -1) on the chart as a blue line, which helps you see trend direction changes visually.
⚙️ Strategy Settings
Uses 10% of equity per trade (default_qty_value = 10).
Works on regular candlestick charts, but mimics a Renko-style trend-following behavior.
✅ Summary
This strategy:
Enters trades on trend reversals based on short-term vs. long-term SMA crossover.
Uses trailing stops for exits.
Mimics Renko behavior without using real Renko bricks—just SMA-based smoothing.
Higher Timeframe TrendMap [BigBeluga]🔵HTF TrendMap
A powerful visual overlay that brings higher timeframe market structure directly onto your intraday chart.
This tool maps directional bias, trend strength, and dynamic range boundaries from a user-selected HTF (like Daily or 4H), offering a real-time confluence layer for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders.
By plotting the evolving average (HL2), it acts as a volatility-weighted trend anchor, allowing you to align lower timeframe entries with higher timeframe intent.
Technical Overview:
At the close of each higher timeframe (HTF) candle, the indicator stores the high, low, and calculates the HL2 midpoint. These values are then referenced on the lower timeframe chart to plot trend direction and price boundaries.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Maps the selected higher timeframe (HTF) (e.g., Daily) onto your current chart.
At the close of each HTF candle , it starts to calculate and store the highest, lowest, and average (HL2) price levels .
The average (HL2) value is treated as the HTF trend baseline —plotted in orange for uptrend , blue for downtrend .
Visual curve thickens and fades to show progress through the HTF period (stronger color = fresher data).
Horizontal dashed lines show HTF high and low levels that persist until the next period closes.
On every HTF close, two price labels are printed for the high and low levels.
Vertical separators visually mark the start of each HTF candle for easy structural recognition.
A real-time dashboard shows selected HTF, current trend direction (🢁/🢃), and updates dynamically.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the HTF average line as a bias filter —only long when the trend is up (orange), short when down (blue).
HTF high/low labels help identify key breakout or rejection zones .
Combine with intraday systems or reversal tools for multi-timeframe confluence setups .
Ideal for scalpers and swing traders who rely on HTF momentum shifts .
🔵 CONCLUSION
HTF TrendMap provides a clean, data-rich layer of higher timeframe context to any chart. With adaptive trend coloring, volatility mapping, and real-time data labeling, it enables traders to stay in sync with macro structure while executing on the micro.
Z-Score Trend Monitor [EdgeTerminal]The Z-Score Trend Monitor measures how far the short-term moving average deviates from the long-term moving average using the spread difference of the two — in standardized units. It’s designed to detect overextension, momentum exhaustion, and potential mean-reversion points by converting the spread between two moving averages into a normalized Z-score and tracking its change and direction over time.
The idea behind this is to catch the changes in the direction of a trend earlier than the usual and lagging moving average lines, allowing you to react faster.
The math behind the indicator itself is very simple. We take the simple moving average of the spread between a long term and short term moving average, and divide it by the difference between the spread and spread mean.
This results in a relatively accurate and early acting trend detector that can easily identify overbought and oversold levels in any timeframe. From our own testing, we recommend using this indicator as a trend confirmation tool.
How to Use It:
Keep an eye on the Z-Score or the blue line. When it goes over 2, it indicates an overbought or near top level, and when it goes below -2, it indicates an oversold or near bottom.
When Z-Score returns to zero or grey line, it suggests mean reversion is in progress.
You can also change the Z-Score criteria from 2 and -2 in the settings to any number you’d like for tighter or wider levels.
For scalping and fast trading setups, we recommend shorter SMAs, such as 5 and 20, and for longer trading setups such as swing trades, we recommend 20 and 100.
Settings:
Short SMA: Lookback period of short term simple moving average for the lower side of the SMA spread.
Short Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the short term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the short SMA field.
Long SMA: Lookback period of long term simple moving average for the upper side of the SMA spread.
Long Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the long term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the long SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the long SMA field.
Z-Score Threshold: The threshold for upper (oversold) and lower (overbought) levels. This can also be set individually from the style page.
Z-Score Lookback Window: The lookback period to calculate spread mean and spread standard deviation
Dual-Phase Trend Regime Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Trend Regime: Dual-Phase Oscillator (Zeiierman) is a volatility-sensitive trend classification tool that dynamically switches between two oscillators, one optimized for low volatility, the other for high volatility.
By analyzing standard deviation-based volatility states and applying correlation-derived oscillators, this indicator reveals not only whether the market is trending but also what kind of trend regime it is in —Bullish or Bearish —and how that regime reacts to market volatility.
█ Its Uniqueness
Most trend indicators assume a static market environment; they don't adjust their logic when the underlying volatility shifts. That often leads to false signals in choppy conditions or late entries in trending phases.
Trend Regime: Dual-Phase Oscillator solves this by introducing volatility-aware adaptability. It switches between a slow, stable oscillator in calm markets and a fast, reactive oscillator in volatile ones, ensuring the right sensitivity at the right time.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volatility State Engine
Calculates returns-based volatility using standard deviation of price change
Smooths the current volatility with a moving average
Builds a volatility history window and performs median clustering to determine typical "Low" and "High" volatility zones
Dynamically assigns the chart to one of two internal volatility regimes: Low or High
⚪ Dual Oscillators
In Low Volatility, it uses a Slow Trend Oscillator (longer lookback, smoother)
In High Volatility, it switches to a Fast Trend Oscillator (shorter lookback, responsive)
Both oscillators use price-time correlation as a measure of directional strength
The output is normalized between 0 and 1, allowing for consistent interpretation
⚪ Trend Regime Classification
The active oscillator is compared to a neutral threshold (0.5)
If above: Bullish Regime, if below: Bearish Regime, else: Neutral
The background and markers update to reflect regime changes visually
Triangle markers highlight bullish/bearish regime shifts
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Current Trend Regime
Use the background color and chart table to immediately recognize whether the market is trending up or down.
⚪ Trade Regime Shifts
Use triangle markers (▲ / ▼) to spot fresh regime entries, which are ideal for confirming breakouts within trends.
⚪ Pullback Trading
Look for pullbacks when the trend is in a stable condition and the slow oscillator remains consistently near the upper or lower threshold. Watch for moments when the fast oscillator retraces back toward the midline, or slightly above/below it — this often signals a potential pullback entry in the direction of the prevailing trend.
█ Settings Explained
Length (Slow Trend Oscillator) – Used in calm conditions. Longer = smoother signals
Length (Fast Trend Oscillator) – Used in volatile conditions. Shorter = more responsive
Volatility Refit Interval – Controls how often the system recalculates Low/High volatility levels
Current Volatility Period – Lookback used for immediate volatility measurement
Volatility Smoothing Length – Applies an SMA to the raw volatility to reduce noise

RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman) is a hybrid momentum and volatility visualization tool that blends enhanced RSI interpretation with ADX-driven consolidation detection. This indicator doesn't just show where RSI is trending — it interprets how strong that trend is, when that strength changes, and where the market may be consolidating in anticipation of breakout movement.
Using a combination of Kalman-filtered RSI, custom-built DMI/ADX, and low-volatility zone recognition, it gives traders a dynamic RSI with strength-based coloring, while also highlighting consolidation zones to spot breakout opportunities.
█ Its uniqueness
Traditional RSI indicators lack context. They may show you when the market is overbought or oversold, but they won’t tell you how strong that condition is, or whether it’s likely to result in continuation or consolidation.
This tool aims to solve that by introducing adaptive strength metrics and structural compression zones, allowing traders to anticipate when the market is likely preparing for a move.
█ How It Works
⚪ Enhanced RSI
Combines traditional RSI and a custom RSI implementation
Smooths both through a Kalman filter for trend direction
Final RSI line reflects smoothed consensus between manual and built-in RSI
Adds an RSI + Strength overlay to show when the directional conviction is increasing
⚪ ADX-Driven Strength Layer
Directional Movement Index (DMI) is calculated both manually and with built-in smoothing
The average ADX value is used to calculate a strength modifier
When ADX exceeds 20, RSI is dynamically enhanced or dampened to reflect directional force
Resulting visual: RSI appears stronger or weaker based on confirmed trend conditions
⚪ Consolidation Zone Detection
When ADX falls below 20, the indicator enters a consolidation zone state
Boxes are drawn dynamically to contain the price within these low-volatility structures
Once the price breaks out of the zone, the indicator plots a breakout signal (▲ or ▼)
⚪ Breakouts
Breakout markers are placed at the first close outside the consolidation box
These signals serve as early indicators for potential trend continuation or reversal
█ How to Use
⚪ Confirm Momentum Strength
Use the RSI + Strength line to determine whether current momentum is backed by trend conviction. If strength expands alongside rising RSI, the move has confirmation.
⚪ Consolidations Zones
When RSI is around the midline, and a consolidation box appears, expect lower volatility and a range-bound market, followed by a breakout.
⚪ Use Breakout Signals for Entry
Look for ▲ or ▼ markers as early triggers. These often coincide with volume expansions or structural breaks.
█ Settings Explained
RSI Length – Number of bars used for RSI. Shorter = more sensitive.
DMI Length – Used in both custom and built-in ADX/DI calculations.
ADX Smoothing – Smooths the trend strength signal. Higher values = smoother strength detection.
Trend Confirmation (Filter Strength) – Adjusts the responsiveness of the Kalman filter.

TrendLibrary "Trend"
calculateSlopeTrend(source, length, thresholdMultiplier)
Parameters:
source (float)
length (int)
thresholdMultiplier (float)
Purpose:
The primary goal of this function is to determine the short-term trend direction of a given data series (like closing prices). It does this by calculating the slope of the data over a specified period and then comparing that slope against a dynamic threshold based on the data's recent volatility. It classifies the trend into one of three states: Upward, Downward, or Flat.
Parameters:
`source` (Type: `series float`): This is the input data series you want to analyze. It expects a series of floating-point numbers, typically price data like `close`, `open`, `hl2` (high+low)/2, etc.
`length` (Type: `int`): This integer defines the lookback period. The function will analyze the `source` data over the last `length` bars to calculate the slope and standard deviation.
`thresholdMultiplier` (Type: `float`, Default: `0.1`): This is a sensitivity factor. It's multiplied by the standard deviation to determine how steep the slope needs to be before it's considered a true upward or downward trend. A smaller value makes it more sensitive (detects trends earlier, potentially more false signals), while a larger value makes it less sensitive (requires a stronger move to confirm a trend).
Calculation Steps:
Linear Regression: It first calculates the value of a linear regression line fitted to the `source` data over the specified `length` (`ta.linreg(source, length, 0)`). Linear regression finds the "best fit" straight line through the data points.
Slope Calculation: It then determines the slope of this linear regression line. Since `ta.linreg` gives the *value* of the line on the current bar, the slope is calculated as the difference between the current bar's linear regression value (`linRegValue`) and the previous bar's value (`linRegValue `). A positive difference means an upward slope, negative means downward.
Volatility Measurement: It calculates the standard deviation (`ta.stdev(source, length)`) of the `source` data over the same `length`. Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the data is, essentially quantifying its recent volatility.
Adaptive Threshold: An adaptive threshold (`threshold`) is calculated by multiplying the standard deviation (`stdDev`) by the `thresholdMultiplier`. This is crucial because it means the definition of a "flat" trend adapts to the market's volatility. In volatile times, the threshold will be wider, requiring a larger slope to signal a trend. In quiet times, the threshold will be narrower.
Trend Determination: Finally, it compares the calculated `slope` to the adaptive `threshold`:
If the `slope` is greater than the positive `threshold`, the trend is considered **Upward**, and the function returns `1`.
If the `slope` is less than the negative `threshold` (`-threshold`), the trend is considered **Downward**, and the function returns `-1`.
If the `slope` falls between `-threshold` and `+threshold` (inclusive of 0), the trend is considered **Flat**, and the function returns `0`.
Return Value:
The function returns an integer representing the determined trend direction:
`1`: Upward trend
`-1`: Downward trend
`0`: Flat trend
In essence, this library function provides a way to gauge trend direction using linear regression, but with a smart filter (the adaptive threshold) to avoid classifying minor noise or low-volatility periods as significant trends.
02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
Bollinger band fill opacity.
This detailed description should provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategy's logic and components.

Auto TrendLines [TradingFinder] Support Resistance Signal Alerts🔵 Introduction
The trendline is one of the most essential tools in technical analysis, widely used in financial markets such as Forex, cryptocurrency, and stocks. A trendline is a straight line that connects swing highs or swing lows and visually indicates the market’s trend direction.
Traders use trendlines to identify price structure, the strength of buyers and sellers, dynamic support and resistance zones, and optimal entry and exit points.
In technical analysis, trendlines are typically classified into three categories: uptrend lines (drawn by connecting higher lows), downtrend lines (formed by connecting lower highs), and sideways trends (moving horizontally). A valid trendline usually requires at least three confirmed touchpoints to be considered reliable for trading decisions.
Trendlines can serve as the foundation for a variety of trading strategies, such as the trendline bounce strategy, valid breakout setups, and confluence-based analysis with other tools like candlestick patterns, divergences, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels.
Additionally, trendlines are categorized into internal and external, and further into major and minor levels, each serving unique roles in market structure analysis.
🔵 How to Use
Trendlines are a key component in technical analysis, used to identify market direction, define dynamic support and resistance zones, highlight strategic entry and exit points, and manage risk. For a trendline to be reliable, it must be drawn based on structural principles—not by simply connecting two arbitrary points.
🟣 Selecting Pivot Types Based on Trend Direction
The first step is to determine the market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
Then, choose pivot points that match the trend type :
In an uptrend, trendlines are drawn by connecting low pivots, especially higher lows.
In a downtrend, trendlines are formed by connecting high pivots, specifically lower highs.
It is crucial to connect pivots of the same type and structure to ensure the trendline is valid and analytically sound.
🟣 Pivot Classification
This indicator automatically classifies pivot points into two categories :
Major Pivots :
MLL : Major Lower Low
MHL : Major Higher Low
MHH : Major Higher High
MLH : Major Lower High
These define the primary structure of the market and are typically used in broader structural analysis.
Minor Pivots :
mLL: minor Lower Low
mHL: minor Higher Low
mHH: minor Higher High
mLH: minor Lower High
These are used for drawing more precise trendlines within corrective waves or internal price movements.
Example : In a downtrend, drawing a trendline from an MHH to an mHH creates structural inconsistency and introduces noise. Instead, connect points like MHL to MHL or mLH to mLH for a valid trendline.
🟣 Drawing High-Precision Trendlines
To ensure a reliable trendline :
Use pivots of the same classification (Major with Major or Minor with Minor).
Ensure at least three valid contact points (three touches = structural confirmation).
Draw through candles with the least deviation (choose wicks or bodies based on confluence).
Preferably draw from right to left for better alignment with current market behavior.
Use parallel lines to turn a single trendline into a trendline zone, if needed.
🟣 Using Trendlines for Trade Entries
Bounce Entry: When price approaches the trendline and shows signs of reversal (e.g., a reversal candle, divergence, or support/resistance), enter in the direction of the trend with a logical stop-loss.
Breakout Entry: When price breaks through the trendline with strong momentum and a confirmation (such as a retest or break of structure), consider trading in the direction of the breakout.
🟣 Trendline-Based Risk Management
For bounce entries, the stop-loss is placed below the trendline or the last pivot low (in an uptrend).
For breakout entries, the stop-loss is set behind the breakout candle or the last structural level.
A broken trendline can also act as an exit signal from a trade.
🟣 Combining Trendlines with Other Tools (Confluence)
Trendlines gain much more strength when used alongside other analytical tools :
Horizontal support and resistance levels
Moving averages (such as EMA 50 or EMA 200)
Fibonacci retracement zones
Candlestick patterns (e.g., Engulfing, Pin Bar)
RSI or MACD divergences
Market structure breaks (BoS / ChoCH)
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This defines how sensitive the pivot detection is. A higher number means the algorithm will identify more significant pivot points, resulting in longer-term trendlines.
Alerts
Alert :
Enable or disable the entire alert system
Set a custom alert name
Choose how often alerts trigger (every time, once per bar, or on bar close)
Select the time zone for alert timestamps (e.g., UTC)
Each trendline type supports two alert types :
Break Alert : Triggered when price breaks the trendline
React Alert : Triggered when price reacts or bounces off the trendline
These alerts can be independently enabled or disabled for all trendline categories (Major/Minor, Internal/External, Up/Down).
Display :
For each of the eight trendline types, you can control :
Whether to show or hide the line
Whether to delete the previous line when a new one is drawn
Color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), extension direction (e.g., right only), and width
Major lines are typically thicker and more opaque, while minor lines appear thinner and more transparent.
All settings are designed to give the user full control over the appearance, behavior, and alert system of the indicator, without requiring manual drawing or adjustments.
🔵 Conclusion
A trendline is more than just a line on the chart—it is a structural, strategic, and flexible tool in technical analysis that can serve as the foundation for understanding price behavior and making trading decisions. Whether in trending markets or during corrections, trendlines help traders identify market direction, key zones, and high-potential entry and exit points with precision.
The accuracy and effectiveness of a trendline depend on using structurally valid pivot points and adhering to proper market logic, rather than relying on guesswork or personal bias.
This indicator is built to solve that exact problem. It automatically detects and draws multiple types of trendlines based on actual price structure, separating them into Major/Minor and Internal/External categories, and respecting professional analytical principles such as pivot type, trend direction, and structural location.

Cumulative Histogram TickThis script is designed to create a cumulative histogram based on tick data from a specific financial instrument. The histogram resets at the start of each trading session, which is defined by a fixed time.
Key Components:
Tick Data Retrieval:
The script fetches the closing tick values from the specified instrument using request.security("TICK.NY", timeframe.period, close). This line ensures that the script works with the tick data for each bar on the chart.
Session Start and End Detection:
Start Hour: The script checks if the current bar's time is 9:30 AM (hour == 9 and minute == 30). This is used to reset the cumulative value at the beginning of each trading session.
End Hour: It also checks if the current bar's time is 4:00 PM (hour == 16). However, this condition is used to prevent further accumulation after the session ends.
Cumulative Value Management:
Reset: When the start hour condition is met (startHour), the cumulative value (cumulative) is reset to zero. This ensures that each trading session starts with a clean slate.
Accumulation: For all bars that are not at the end hour (not endHour), the tick value is added to the cumulative total. This process continues until the end of the trading session.
Histogram Visualization:
The cumulative value is plotted as a histogram using plot.style_histogram. The color of the histogram changes based on whether the cumulative value is positive (green) or negative (red).
Usage
This script is useful for analyzing intraday market activity by visualizing the accumulation of tick data over a trading session. It helps traders identify trends or patterns within each session, which can be valuable for making informed trading decisions.
Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (Multi-Output Proxy) [FibonacciFlux]EFzSMA: Decode Trend Quality, Conviction & Risk Beyond Simple Averages
Stop Relying on Lagging Averages Alone. Gain a Multi-Dimensional Edge.
The Challenge: Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) tell you where the price was , but they fail to capture the true quality, conviction, and sustainability of a trend. Relying solely on price crossing an average often leads to chasing weak moves, getting caught in choppy markets, or missing critical signs of trend exhaustion. Advanced traders need a more sophisticated lens to navigate complex market dynamics.
The Solution: Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (EFzSMA)
EFzSMA is engineered to address these limitations head-on. It moves beyond simple price-average comparisons by employing a sophisticated Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) that intelligently integrates multiple critical market factors:
Price deviation from the SMA ( adaptively normalized for market volatility)
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC)
Market Sentiment/Overheat (Relative Strength Index - RSI)
Market Volatility Context (Average True Range - ATR, optional)
Volume Dynamics (Volume relative to its MA, optional)
Instead of just a line on a chart, EFzSMA delivers a multi-dimensional assessment designed to give you deeper insights and a quantifiable edge.
Why EFzSMA? Gain Deeper Market Insights
EFzSMA empowers you to make more informed decisions by providing insights that simple averages cannot:
Assess True Trend Quality, Not Just Location: Is the price above the SMA simply because of a temporary spike, or is it supported by strong momentum, confirming volume, and stable volatility? EFzSMA's core fuzzyTrendScore (-1 to +1) evaluates the health of the trend, helping you distinguish robust moves from noise.
Quantify Signal Conviction: How reliable is the current trend signal? The Conviction Proxy (0 to 1) measures the internal consistency among the different market factors analyzed by the FIS. High conviction suggests factors are aligned, boosting confidence in the trend signal. Low conviction warns of conflicting signals, uncertainty, or potential consolidation – acting as a powerful filter against chasing weak moves.
// Simplified Concept: Conviction reflects agreement vs. conflict among fuzzy inputs
bullStrength = strength_SB + strength_WB
bearStrength = strength_SBe + strength_WBe
dominantStrength = max(bullStrength, bearStrength)
conflictingStrength = min(bullStrength, bearStrength) + strength_N
convictionProxy := (dominantStrength - conflictingStrength) / (dominantStrength + conflictingStrength + 1e-10)
// Modifiers (Volatility/Volume) applied...
Anticipate Potential Reversals: Trends don't last forever. The Reversal Risk Proxy (0 to 1) synthesizes multiple warning signs – like extreme RSI readings, surging volatility, or diverging volume – into a single, actionable metric. High reversal risk flags conditions often associated with trend exhaustion, providing early warnings to protect profits or consider counter-trend opportunities.
Adapt to Changing Market Regimes: Markets shift between high and low volatility. EFzSMA's unique Adaptive Deviation Normalization adjusts how it perceives price deviations based on recent market behavior (percentile rank). This ensures more consistent analysis whether the market is quiet or chaotic.
// Core Idea: Normalize deviation by recent volatility (percentile)
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
normalized_diff := raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
// Fuzzy sets for 'normalized_diff' are thus adaptive to volatility
Integrate Complexity, Output Clarity: EFzSMA distills complex, multi-factor analysis into clear, interpretable outputs, helping you cut through market noise and focus on what truly matters for your decision-making process.
Interpreting the Multi-Dimensional Output
The true power of EFzSMA lies in analyzing its outputs together:
A high Trend Score (+0.8) is significant, but its reliability is amplified by high Conviction (0.9) and low Reversal Risk (0.2) . This indicates a strong, well-supported trend.
Conversely, the same high Trend Score (+0.8) coupled with low Conviction (0.3) and high Reversal Risk (0.7) signals caution – the trend might look strong superficially, but internal factors suggest weakness or impending exhaustion.
Use these combined insights to:
Filter Entry Signals: Require minimum Trend Score and Conviction levels.
Manage Risk: Consider reducing exposure or tightening stops when Reversal Risk climbs significantly, especially if Conviction drops.
Time Exits: Use rising Reversal Risk and falling Conviction as potential signals to take profits.
Identify Regime Shifts: Monitor how the relationship between the outputs changes over time.
Core Technology (Briefly)
EFzSMA leverages a Mamdani-style Fuzzy Inference System. Crisp inputs (normalized deviation, ROC, RSI, ATR%, Vol Ratio) are mapped to linguistic fuzzy sets ("Low", "High", "Positive", etc.). A rules engine evaluates combinations (e.g., "IF Deviation is LargePositive AND Momentum is StrongPositive THEN Trend is StrongBullish"). Modifiers based on Volatility and Volume context adjust rule strengths. Finally, the system aggregates these and defuzzifies them into the Trend Score, Conviction Proxy, and Reversal Risk Proxy. The key is the system's ability to handle ambiguity and combine multiple, potentially conflicting factors in a nuanced way, much like human expert reasoning.
Customization
While designed with robust defaults, EFzSMA offers granular control:
Adjust SMA, ROC, RSI, ATR, Volume MA lengths.
Fine-tune Normalization parameters (lookback, percentile). Note: Fuzzy set definitions for deviation are tuned for the normalized range.
Configure Volatility and Volume thresholds for fuzzy sets. Tuning these is crucial for specific assets/timeframes.
Toggle visual elements (Proxies, BG Color, Risk Shapes, Volatility-based Transparency).
Recommended Use & Caveats
EFzSMA is a sophisticated analytical tool, not a standalone "buy/sell" signal generator.
Use it to complement your existing strategy and analysis.
Always validate signals with price action, market structure, and other confirming factors.
Thorough backtesting and forward testing are essential to understand its behavior and tune parameters for your specific instruments and timeframes.
Fuzzy logic parameters (membership functions, rules) are based on general heuristics and may require optimization for specific market niches.
Disclaimer
Trading involves substantial risk. EFzSMA is provided for informational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. No guarantee of profit is made or implied. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use rigorous risk management practices.
Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average[FibonacciFlux]Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA): An Institutional-Grade Trend Confluence Indicator for Discerning Market Participants
My original indicator/Strategy:
Engineered for the sophisticated demands of institutional and advanced traders, the Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA) indicator represents a paradigm shift in technical analysis. This meticulously crafted tool is designed to furnish high-definition trend signals within the complexities of modern financial markets. Anchored in the rigorous principles of Fibonacci ratios and augmented by advanced averaging methodologies, MFTA delivers a granular perspective on trend dynamics. Its integration of Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filters provides unparalleled signal robustness, empowering strategic decision-making with a heightened degree of confidence.
MFTA indicator on BTCUSDT 15min chart with 1min RSI and MACD filters enabled. Note the refined signal generation with reduced noise.
MFTA indicator on BTCUSDT 15min chart without MTF filters. While capturing more potential trading opportunities, it also generates a higher frequency of signals, including potential false positives.
Core Innovation: Proprietary Fibonacci-Enhanced Supertrend Averaging Engine
The MFTA indicator’s core innovation lies in its proprietary implementation of Supertrend analysis, strategically fortified by Fibonacci ratios to construct a truly dynamic volatility envelope. Departing from conventional Supertrend methodologies, MFTA autonomously computes not one, but three distinct Supertrend lines. Each of these lines is uniquely parameterized by a specific Fibonacci factor: 0.618 (Weak), 1.618 (Medium/Golden Ratio), and 2.618 (Strong/Extended Fibonacci).
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
This multi-faceted architecture adeptly captures a spectrum of market volatility sensitivities, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of prevailing conditions. Subsequently, the indicator algorithmically synthesizes these disparate Supertrend lines through arithmetic averaging. To achieve optimal signal fidelity and mitigate inherent market noise, this composite average is further refined utilizing an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
// Calculate average of the three supertends and a smoothed version
superlength = input.int(21, 'Smoothing Length', tooltip='Smoothing Length for Average Supertrend', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
average_trend = (supertrend1 + supertrend2 + supertrend3) / 3
smoothed_trend = ta.ema(average_trend, superlength)
The resultant ‘Smoothed Trend’ line emerges as a remarkably responsive yet stable trend demarcation, offering demonstrably superior clarity and precision compared to singular Supertrend implementations, particularly within the turbulent dynamics of high-volatility markets.
Elevated Signal Confluence: Integrated Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Validation Suite
MFTA transcends the limitations of conventional trend indicators by incorporating an advanced suite of three independent MTF filters: RSI, MACD, and Volume. These filters function as sophisticated validation protocols, rigorously ensuring that only signals exhibiting a confluence of high-probability factors are brought to the forefront.
1. Granular Lower Timeframe RSI Momentum Filter
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) filter, computed from a user-defined lower timeframe, furnishes critical momentum-based signal validation. By meticulously monitoring RSI dynamics on an accelerated timeframe, traders gain the capacity to evaluate underlying momentum strength with precision, prior to committing to signal execution on the primary chart timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe RSI Filter ---
ltf_rsi_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable RSI Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use RSI from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_rsi_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="RSI Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_length = input.int(14, title="RSI Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Length for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_threshold = input.int(30, title="RSI Threshold", minval=0, maxval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="RSI value threshold for filtering signals")
2. Convergent Lower Timeframe MACD Trend-Momentum Filter
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) filter, also calculated on a lower timeframe basis, introduces a critical layer of trend-momentum convergence confirmation. The bullish signal configuration rigorously mandates that the MACD line be definitively positioned above the Signal line on the designated lower timeframe. This stringent condition ensures a robust indication of converging momentum that aligns synergistically with the prevailing trend identified on the primary timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe MACD Filter ---
ltf_macd_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable MACD Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use MACD from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_macd_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="MACD Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for MACD calculation")
ltf_macd_fast_length = input.int(12, title="MACD Fast Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Fast EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_slow_length = input.int(26, title="MACD Slow Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Slow EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_signal_length = input.int(9, title="MACD Signal Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Signal SMA length for MACD")
3. Definitive Volume Confirmation Filter
The Volume Filter functions as an indispensable arbiter of trade conviction. By establishing a dynamic volume threshold, defined as a percentage relative to the average volume over a user-specified lookback period, traders can effectively ensure that all generated signals are rigorously validated by demonstrably increased trading activity. This pivotal validation step signifies robust market participation, substantially diminishing the potential for spurious or false breakout signals.
// --- Volume Filter ---
volume_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable Volume Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use volume level as a filter")
volume_threshold_percent = input.int(title="Volume Threshold (%)", defval=150, minval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Minimum volume percentage compared to average volume to allow signal (100% = average)")
These meticulously engineered filters operate in synergistic confluence, requiring all enabled filters to definitively satisfy their pre-defined conditions before a Buy or Sell signal is generated. This stringent multi-layered validation process drastically minimizes the incidence of false positive signals, thereby significantly enhancing entry precision and overall signal reliability.
Intuitive Visual Architecture & Actionable Intelligence
MFTA provides a demonstrably intuitive and visually rich charting environment, meticulously delineating trend direction and momentum through precisely color-coded plots:
Average Supertrend: Thin line, green/red for uptrend/downtrend, immediate directional bias.
Smoothed Supertrend: Bold line, teal/purple for uptrend/downtrend, cleaner, institutionally robust trend.
Dynamic Trend Fill: Green/red fill between Supertrends quantifies trend strength and momentum.
Adaptive Background Coloring: Light green/red background mirrors Smoothed Supertrend direction, holistic trend perspective.
Precision Buy/Sell Signals: ‘BUY’/‘SELL’ labels appear on chart when trend touch and MTF filter confluence are satisfied, facilitating high-conviction trade action.
MFTA indicator applied to BTCUSDT 4-hour chart, showcasing its effectiveness on higher timeframes. The Smoothed Length parameter is increased to 200 for enhanced smoothness on this timeframe, coupled with 1min RSI and Volume filters for signal refinement. This illustrates the indicator's adaptability across different timeframes and market conditions.
Strategic Applications for Institutional Mandates
MFTA’s sophisticated design provides distinct advantages for advanced trading operations and institutional investment mandates. Key strategic applications include:
High-Probability Trend Identification: Fibonacci-averaged Supertrend with MTF filters robustly identifies high-probability trend continuations and reversals, enhancing alpha generation.
Precision Entry/Exit Signals: Volume and momentum-filtered signals enable institutional-grade precision for optimized risk-adjusted returns.
Algorithmic Trading Integration: Clear signal logic facilitates seamless integration into automated trading systems for scalable strategy deployment.
Multi-Asset/Timeframe Versatility: Adaptable parameters ensure applicability across diverse asset classes and timeframes, catering to varied trading mandates.
Enhanced Risk Management: Superior signal fidelity from MTF filters inherently reduces false signals, supporting robust risk management protocols.

Trendline Breaks with Multi Fibonacci Supertrend StrategyTMFS Strategy: Advanced Trendline Breakouts with Multi-Fibonacci Supertrend
Elevate your algorithmic trading with institutional-grade signal confluence
Strategy Genesis & Evolution
This advanced trading system represents the culmination of a personal research journey, evolving from my custom " Multi Fibonacci Supertrend with Signals " indicator into a comprehensive trading strategy. Built upon the exceptional trendline detection methodology pioneered by LuxAlgo in their " Trendlines with Breaks " indicator, I've engineered a systematic framework that integrates multiple technical factors into a cohesive trading system.
Core Fibonacci Principles
At the heart of this strategy lies the Fibonacci sequence application to volatility measurement:
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
These precise Fibonacci ratios create a dynamic volatility envelope that adapts to changing market conditions while maintaining mathematical harmony with natural price movements.
Dynamic Trendline Detection
The strategy incorporates LuxAlgo's pioneering approach to trendline detection:
// Pivotal swing detection (inspired by LuxAlgo)
pivot_high = ta.pivothigh(swing_length, swing_length)
pivot_low = ta.pivotlow(swing_length, swing_length)
// Dynamic slope calculation using ATR
slope = atr_value / swing_length * atr_multiplier
// Update trendlines based on pivot detection
if bool(pivot_high)
upper_slope := slope
upper_trendline := pivot_high
else
upper_trendline := nz(upper_trendline) - nz(upper_slope)
This adaptive trendline approach automatically identifies key structural market boundaries, adjusting in real-time to evolving chart patterns.
Breakout State Management
The strategy implements sophisticated state tracking for breakout detection:
// Track breakouts with state variables
var int upper_breakout_state = 0
var int lower_breakout_state = 0
// Update breakout state when price crosses trendlines
upper_breakout_state := bool(pivot_high) ? 0 : close > upper_trendline ? 1 : upper_breakout_state
lower_breakout_state := bool(pivot_low) ? 0 : close < lower_trendline ? 1 : lower_breakout_state
// Detect new breakouts (state transitions)
bool new_upper_breakout = upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state
bool new_lower_breakout = lower_breakout_state > lower_breakout_state
This state-based approach enables precise identification of the exact moment when price breaks through a significant trendline.
Multi-Factor Signal Confluence
Entry signals require confirmation from multiple technical factors:
// Define entry conditions with multi-factor confluence
long_entry_condition = enable_long_positions and
upper_breakout_state > upper_breakout_state and // New trendline breakout
di_plus > di_minus and // Bullish DMI confirmation
close > smoothed_trend // Price above Supertrend envelope
// Execute trades only with full confirmation
if long_entry_condition
strategy.entry('L', strategy.long, comment = "LONG")
This strict requirement for confluence significantly reduces false signals and improves the quality of trade entries.
Advanced Risk Management
The strategy includes sophisticated risk controls with multiple methodologies:
// Calculate stop loss based on selected method
get_long_stop_loss_price(base_price) =>
switch stop_loss_method
'PERC' => base_price * (1 - long_stop_loss_percent)
'ATR' => base_price - long_stop_loss_atr_multiplier * entry_atr
'RR' => base_price - (get_long_take_profit_price() - base_price) / long_risk_reward_ratio
=> na
// Implement trailing functionality
strategy.exit(
id = 'Long Take Profit / Stop Loss',
from_entry = 'L',
qty_percent = take_profit_quantity_percent,
limit = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? na : long_take_profit_price,
stop = long_stop_loss_price,
trail_price = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_take_profit_price : na,
trail_offset = trailing_take_profit_enabled ? long_trailing_tp_step_ticks : na,
comment = "TP/SL Triggered"
)
This flexible approach adapts to varying market conditions while providing comprehensive downside protection.
Performance Characteristics
Rigorous backtesting demonstrates exceptional capital appreciation potential with impressive risk-adjusted metrics:
Remarkable total return profile (1,517%+)
Strong Sortino ratio (3.691) indicating superior downside risk control
Profit factor of 1.924 across all trades (2.153 for long positions)
Win rate exceeding 35% with balanced distribution across varied market conditions
Institutional Considerations
The strategy architecture addresses execution complexities faced by institutional participants with temporal filtering and date-range capabilities:
// Time Filter settings with flexible timezone support
import jason5480/time_filters/5 as time_filter
src_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Source Timezone')
dst_timezone = input.string(defval = 'Exchange', title = 'Destination Timezone')
// Date range filtering for precise execution windows
use_from_date = input.bool(defval = true, title = 'Enable Start Date')
from_date = input.time(defval = timestamp('01 Jan 2022 00:00'), title = 'Start Date')
// Validate trading permission based on temporal constraints
date_filter_approved = time_filter.is_in_date_range(
use_from_date, from_date, use_to_date, to_date, src_timezone, dst_timezone
)
These capabilities enable precise execution timing and market session optimization critical for larger market participants.

How to Use:
Add to Chart: Add the "Multi-Timeframe PSAR" indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure Settings:
PSAR Settings: Adjust the Start, Increment, and Maximum values to control the PSAR's sensitivity.
Multi-Timeframe Settings: Select the desired "Higher Timeframe PSAR" resolution (e.g., "D" for Daily). Enable or disable the display of the current and/or higher timeframe PSAR using the checkboxes.
Interpret Signals:
Current Timeframe PSAR: Dots below the price suggest an uptrend; dots above the price suggest a downtrend.
Higher Timeframe PSAR: Provides context for the overall trend. Agreement between the current and higher timeframe PSAR strengthens the trend signal. Divergences may indicate potential reversals.
Trade Management:
Use PSAR dots as dynamic trailing stop.
Example Use Cases:
Confirming Trend Strength: A trader on a 1-hour chart sees the 1-hour PSAR flip bullish (dots below the price). They check the MTF PSAR and see that the Daily PSAR is also bullish, confirming the strength of the uptrend.
Identifying Potential Reversals: A trader sees the current timeframe PSAR flip bearish, but the higher timeframe PSAR remains bullish. This divergence could signal a potential pullback within a larger uptrend, or a warning of a more significant reversal.
Trailing Stops: A trader enters a long position and uses the current timeframe PSAR as a trailing stop, moving their stop-loss up as the PSAR dots rise.
Disclaimer: The Parabolic SAR is a lagging indicator and may produce false signals, especially in ranging markets. It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
[GYTS-CE] Market Regime Detector🧊 Market Regime Detector (Community Edition)
🌸 Part of GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸
🌸 --------- INTRODUCTION --------- 🌸
💮 What is the Market Regime Detector?
The Market Regime Detector is an advanced, consensus-based indicator that identifies the current market state to increase the probability of profitable trades. By distinguishing between trending (bullish or bearish) and cyclic (range-bound) market conditions, this detector helps you select appropriate tactics for different environments. Instead of forcing a single strategy across all market conditions, our detector allows you to adapt your approach based on real-time market behaviour.
💮 The Importance of Market Regimes
Markets constantly shift between different behavioural states or "regimes":
• Bullish trending markets - characterised by sustained upward price movement
• Bearish trending markets - characterised by sustained downward price movement
• Cyclic markets - characterised by range-bound, oscillating behaviour
Each regime requires fundamentally different trading approaches. Trend-following strategies excel in trending markets but fail in cyclic ones, while mean-reversion strategies shine in cyclic markets but underperform in trending conditions. Detecting these regimes is essential for successful trading, which is why we've developed the Market Regime Detector to accurately identify market states using complementary detection methods.
🌸 --------- KEY FEATURES --------- 🌸
💮 Consensus-Based Detection
Rather than relying on a single method, our detector employs two complementary detection methodologies that analyse different aspects of market behaviour:
• Dominant Cycle Average (DCA) - analyzes price movement relative to its lookback period, a proxy for the dominant cycle
• Volatility Channel - examines price behaviour within adaptive volatility bands
These diverse perspectives are synthesised into a robust consensus that minimises false signals while maintaining responsiveness to genuine regime changes.
💮 Dominant Cycle Framework
The Market Regime Detector uses the concept of dominant cycles to establish a reference framework. You can input the dominant cycle period that best represents the natural rhythm of your market, providing a stable foundation for regime detection across different timeframes.
💮 Intuitive Parameter System
We've distilled complex technical parameters into intuitive controls that traders can easily understand:
• Adaptability - how quickly the detector responds to changing market conditions
• Sensitivity - how readily the detector identifies transitions between regimes
• Consensus requirement - how much agreement is needed among detection methods
This approach makes the detector accessible to traders of all experience levels while preserving the power of the underlying algorithms.
💮 Visual Market Feedback
The detector provides clear visual feedback about the current market regime through:
• Colour-coded chart backgrounds (purple shades for bullish, pink for bearish, yellow for cyclic)
• Colour-coded price bars
• Strength indicators showing the degree of consensus
• Customizable colour schemes to match your preferences or trading system
💮 Integration in the GYTS suite
The Market Regime Detector is compatible with the GYTS Suite , i.e. it passes the regime into the 🎼 Order Orchestrator where you can set how to trade the trending and cyclic regime.
🌸 --------- CONFIGURATION SETTINGS --------- 🌸
💮 Adaptability
Controls how quickly the Market Regime detector adapts to changing market conditions. You can see it as a low-frequency, long-term change parameter:
Very Low: Very slow adaptation, most stable but may miss regime changes
Low: Slower adaptation, more stability but less responsiveness
Normal: Balanced between stability and responsiveness
High: Faster adaptation, more responsive but less stable
Very High: Very fast adaptation, highly responsive but may generate false signals
This setting affects lookback periods and filter parameters across all detection methods.
💮 Sensitivity
Controls how sensitive the detector is to market regime transitions. This acts as a high-frequency, short-term change parameter:
Very Low: Requires substantial evidence to identify a regime change
Low: Less sensitive, reduces false signals but may miss some transitions
Normal: Balanced sensitivity suitable for most markets
High: More sensitive, detects subtle regime changes but may have more noise
Very High: Very sensitive, detects minor fluctuations but may produce frequent changes
This setting affects thresholds for regime detection across all methods.
💮 Dominant Cycle Period
This parameter allows you to specify the market's natural rhythm in bars. This represents a complete market cycle (up and down movement). Finding the right value for your specific market and timeframe might require some experimentation, but it's a crucial parameter that helps the detector accurately identify regime changes. Most of the times the cycle is between 20 and 40 bars.
💮 Consensus Mode
Determines how the signals from both detection methods are combined to produce the final market regime:
• Any Method (OR) : Signals bullish/bearish if either method detects that regime. If methods conflict (one bullish, one bearish), the stronger signal wins. More sensitive, catches more regime changes but may produce more false signals.
• All Methods (AND) : Signals only when both methods agree on the regime. More conservative, reduces false signals but might miss some legitimate regime changes.
• Weighted Decision : Balances both methods with equal weighting. Provides a middle ground between sensitivity and stability.
Each mode also calculates a continuous regime strength value that's used for colour intensity in the 'unconstrained' display mode.
💮 Display Mode
Choose how to display the market regime colours:
• Unconstrained regime: Shows the regime strength as a continuous gradient. This provides more nuanced visualisation where the intensity of the colour indicates the strength of the trend.
• Consensus only: Shows only the final consensus regime with fixed colours based on the detected regime type.
The background and bar colours will change to indicate the current market regime:
• Purple shades: Bullish trending market (darker purple indicates stronger bullish trend)
• Pink shades: Bearish trending market (darker pink indicates stronger bearish trend)
• Yellow: Cyclic (range-bound) market
💮 Custom Colour Options
The Market Regime Detector allows you to customize the colour scheme to match your personal preferences or to coordinate with other indicators:
• Use custom colours: Toggle to enable your own colour choices instead of the default scheme
• Transparency: Adjust the transparency level of all regime colours
• Bullish colours: Define custom colours for strong, medium, weak, and very weak bullish trends
• Bearish colours: Define custom colours for strong, medium, weak, and very weak bearish trends
• Cyclic colour: Define a custom colour for cyclic (range-bound) market conditions
🌸 --------- DETECTION METHODS --------- 🌸
💮 Dominant Cycle Average (DCA)
The Dominant Cycle Average method forms a key part of our detection system:
1. Theoretical Foundation :
The DCA method builds on cycle analysis and the observation that in trending markets, price consistently remains on one side of a moving average calculated using the dominant cycle period. In contrast, during cyclic markets, price oscillates around this average.
2. Calculation Process :
• We calculate a Simple Moving Average (SMA) using the specified lookback period - a proxy for the dominant cycle period
• We then analyse the proportion of time that price spends above or below this SMA over a lookback window. The theory is that the price should cross the SMA each half cycle, assuming that the dominant cycle period is correct and price follows a sinusoid.
• This lookback window is adaptive, scaling with the dominant cycle period (controlled by the Adaptability setting)
• The different values are standardised and normalised to possess more resolving power and to be more robust to noise.
3. Regime Classification :
• When the normalised proportion exceeds a positive threshold (determined by Sensitivity setting), the market is classified as bullish trending
• When it falls below a negative threshold, the market is classified as bearish trending
• When the proportion remains between these thresholds, the market is classified as cyclic
💮 Volatility Channel
The Volatility Channel method complements the DCA method by focusing on price movement relative to adaptive volatility bands:
1. Theoretical Foundation :
This method is based on the observation that trending markets tend to sustain movement outside of normal volatility ranges, while cyclic markets tend to remain contained within these ranges. By creating adaptive bands that adjust to current market volatility, we can detect when price behaviour indicates a trending or cyclic regime.
2. Calculation Process :
• We first calculate a smooth base channel center using a low pass filter, creating a noise-reduced centreline for price
• True Range (TR) is used to measure market volatility, which is then smoothed and scaled by the deviation factor (controlled by Sensitivity)
• Upper and lower bands are created by adding and subtracting this scaled volatility from the centreline
• Price is smoothed using an adaptive A2RMA filter, which has a very flat and stable behaviour, to reduce noise while preserving trend characteristics
• The position of this smoothed price relative to the bands is continuously monitored
3. Regime Classification :
• When smoothed price moves above the upper band, the market is classified as bullish trending
• When smoothed price moves below the lower band, the market is classified as bearish trending
• When price remains between the bands, the market is classified as cyclic
• The magnitude of price's excursion beyond the bands is used to determine trend strength
4. Adaptive Behaviour :
• The smoothing periods and deviation calculations automatically adjust based on the Adaptability setting
• The measured volatility is calculated over a period proportional to the dominant cycle, ensuring the detector works across different timeframes
• Both the center line and the bands adapt dynamically to changing market conditions, making the detector responsive yet stable
This method provides a unique perspective that complements the DCA approach, with the consensus mechanism synthesising insights from both methods.
🌸 --------- USAGE GUIDE --------- 🌸
💮 Starting with Default Settings
The default settings (Normal for Adaptability and Sensitivity, Weighted Decision for Consensus Mode) provide a balanced starting point suitable for most markets and timeframes. Begin by observing how these settings identify regimes in your preferred instruments.
💮 Finding the Optimal Dominant Cycle
The dominant cycle period is a critical parameter. Here are some approaches to finding an appropriate value:
• Start with typical values, usually something around 25 works well
• Visually identify the average distance between significant peaks and troughs
• Experiment with different values and observe which provides the most stable regime identification
• Consider using cycle-finding indicators to help identify the natural rhythm of your market
💮 Adjusting Parameters
• If you notice too many regime changes → Decrease Sensitivity or increase Consensus requirement
• If regime changes seem delayed → Increase Adaptability
• If a trending regime is not detected, the market is automatically assigned to be in a cyclic state
• If you want to see more nuanced regime transitions → Try the "unconstrained" display mode (note that this will not affect the output to other indicators)
💮 Trading Applications
Regime-Specific Strategies:
• Bullish Trending Regime - Use trend-following strategies, trail stops wider, focus on breakouts, consider holding positions longer, and emphasize buying dips
• Bearish Trending Regime - Consider shorts, tighter stops, focus on breakdown points, sell rallies, implement downside protection, and reduce position sizes
• Cyclic Regime - Apply mean-reversion strategies, trade range boundaries, apply oscillators, target definable support/resistance levels, and use profit-taking at extremes
Strategy Switching:
Create a set of rules for each market regime and switch between them based on the detector's signal. This approach can significantly improve performance compared to applying a single strategy across all market conditions.
GYTS Suite Integration:
• In the GYTS 🎼 Order Orchestrator, select the '🔗 STREAM-int 🧊 Market Regime' as the market regime source
• Note that the consensus output (i.e. not the "unconstrained" display) will be used in this stream
• Create different strategies for trending (bullish/bearish) and cyclic regimes. The GYTS 🎼 Order Orchestrator is specifically made for this.
• The output stream is actually very simple, and can possibly be used in indicators and strategies as well. It outputs 1 for bullish, -1 for bearish and 0 for cyclic regime.

Risk Management: Always set stop-loss levels and position sizes to limit potential losses.
Dual SuperTrend w VIX Filter - Strategy [presentTrading]Hey everyone! Haven't been here for a long time. Been so busy again in the past 2 months. I recently started working on analyzing the combination of trend strategy and VIX, but didn't get outstanding results after a few tries. Sharing this tool with all of you in case you have better insights.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Dual SuperTrend with VIX Filter Strategy combines traditional trend following with market volatility analysis. Unlike conventional SuperTrend strategies that focus solely on price action, this experimental system incorporates VIX (Volatility Index) as an adaptive filter to create a more context-aware trading approach. By analyzing where current volatility stands relative to historical norms, the strategy adjusts to different market environments rather than applying uniform logic across all conditions.
BTCUSD 6hr Long Short Performance
█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Dual SuperTrend Core
The strategy uses two SuperTrend indicators with different sensitivity settings:
- SuperTrend 1: Length = 13, Multiplier = 3.5
- SuperTrend 2: Length = 8, Multiplier = 5.0
The SuperTrend calculation follows this process:
1. ATR = Average of max(High-Low, |High-PreviousClose|, |Low-PreviousClose|) over 'length' periods
2. UpperBand = (High+Low)/2 - (Multiplier * ATR)
3. LowerBand = (High+Low)/2 + (Multiplier * ATR)
Trend direction is determined by:
- If Close > previous LowerBand, Trend = Bullish (1)
- If Close < previous UpperBand, Trend = Bearish (-1)
- Otherwise, Trend = previous Trend
🔶 VIX Analysis Framework
The core innovation lies in the VIX analysis system:
1. Statistical Analysis:
- VIX Mean = SMA(VIX, 252)
- VIX Standard Deviation = StdDev(VIX, 252)
- VIX Z-Score = (Current VIX - VIX Mean) / VIX StdDev
2. **Volatility Bands:
- Upper Band 1 = VIX Mean + (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Upper Band 2 = VIX Mean + (3 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 1 = VIX Mean - (2 * VIX StdDev)
- Lower Band 2 = VIX Mean - (3 * VIX StdDev)
3. Volatility Regimes:
- "Very Low Volatility": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Low Volatility": Lower Band 1 ≤ VIX < Mean
- "Normal Volatility": Mean ≤ VIX < Upper Band 1
- "High Volatility": Upper Band 1 ≤ VIX < Upper Band 2
- "Extreme Volatility": VIX ≥ Upper Band 2
4. VIX Trend Detection:
- VIX EMA = EMA(VIX, 10)
- VIX Rising = VIX > VIX EMA
- VIX Falling = VIX < VIX EMA
Local performance:
🔶 Entry Logic Integration
The strategy combines trend signals with volatility filtering:
Long Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bullish (trend = 1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Short Entry Condition:
- Both SuperTrend 1 AND SuperTrend 2 must be bearish (trend = -1)
- AND selected VIX filter condition must be satisfied
Available VIX filter rules include:
- "Below Mean + SD": VIX < Lower Band 1
- "Below Mean": VIX < VIX Mean
- "Above Mean": VIX > VIX Mean
- "Above Mean + SD": VIX > Upper Band 1
- "Falling VIX": VIX < VIX EMA
- "Rising VIX": VIX > VIX EMA
- "Any": No VIX filtering
█ Trade Direction
The strategy allows testing in three modes:
1. **Long Only:** Test volatility effects on uptrends only
2. **Short Only:** Examine volatility's impact on downtrends only
3. **Both (Default):** Compare how volatility affects both trend directions
This enables comparative analysis of how volatility regimes impact bullish versus bearish markets differently.
█ Usage
Use this strategy as an experimental framework:
1. Form a hypothesis about how volatility affects trend reliability
2. Configure VIX filters to test your specific hypothesis
3. Analyze performance across different volatility regimes
4. Compare results between uptrends and downtrends
5. Refine your volatility filtering approach based on results
6. Share your findings with the trading community
This framework allows you to investigate questions like:
- Are uptrends more reliable during rising or falling volatility?
- Do downtrends perform better when volatility is above or below its historical average?
- Should different volatility filters be applied to long vs. short positions?
█ Default Settings
The default settings serve as a starting point for exploration:
SuperTrend Parameters:
- SuperTrend 1 (Length=13, Multiplier=3.5): More responsive to trend changes
- SuperTrend 2 (Length=8, Multiplier=5.0): More selective filter requiring stronger trends
VIX Analysis Settings:
- Lookback Period = 252: Establishes a full market cycle for volatility context
- Standard Deviation Bands = 2 and 3 SD: Creates statistically significant regime boundaries
- VIX Trend Period = 10: Balances responsiveness with noise reduction
Default VIX Filter Selection:
- Long Entry: "Above Mean" - Tests if uptrends perform better during above-average volatility
- Short Entry: "Rising VIX" - Tests if downtrends accelerate when volatility is increasing
